Altered Lineage and Human Zoo

Altered Lineage

Special skills and characteristics passed down from generation to generation as a way of life for those who are “Users". The final fruits of the bloodline of each family member, who have honed and refined their killing skills over a mind-boggling period of time. Therefore, it is said that the longer a family’s history, the more powerful it is; however there are also those who, as if by mutation, have mastered the art in just one generation.

Human Zoo

A facility for potential heirs of the Gero family to learn about human life. The residents know that "someone" is watching them through the magic mirror, but they have accepted making a contract to spend their daily lives in exchange for an obscene amount of money. Furthermore, they are not aware that the ones monitoring are the Gero family of 'users', in particular. It is strictly forbidden to divulge even the smallest details in this matter.

As ‘user’’s, the Gero family lives a life that is far from the norm, and in order to carry out appropriate “work'' for their targets, it is believed that a live atmosphere is important. In other words, something which cannot be felt from surveillance footage. Therefore, the Gero family has poured vast sums of money into this operation since the inception of the Poison-users hundreds of years ago, and has run similar facilities in each respective era.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

[The scene begins after Subaru fed on Yui in the rose garden.]

00:00 [A loud crash sounds in the distance.]

Ayato: Subaru, what’d I always tell you? It’s way too noisy when you use so much force. Tch. Oh? This scent…? Subaru. Did you suck her blood? What’re you up to, gettin’ your hands on things that aren’t yours?

[Ayato shoves Subaru.]

Subaru: Shut up. She’s not just yours, Ayato. When the fuck was that decided?

A: If Yours Truly says it’s mine, then it is.

S: Heh. Keep on babbling.

A: The fuck did you say? Subaru. Who do you think you’re talking to?

S: Her blood isn’t your property, nor is it anyone else’s. It doesn’t matter who feeds on her.

A: Like hell it doesn’t!

[Ayato grabs Subaru by the collar.]

A: Listen up. Don’t bite her again without my permission. If you do, I’ll fuck you up.

S: Go ahead and try.

[Ayato lets Subaru go.]

S: Besides, I’m not the only one who’s after her blood. Anyone in the vicinity would want to taste her and make her theirs when her blood smells like that.

A: Anyone in the vicinity? Who the fuck else’s after Pancake?

S: Tch. You’re dense, as always.

A: Shut up and answer my question!

S: Fuck off.

A: You asshole!

Reiji: What is going on here? The two of you are too loud. Fighting and bickering like children. It would do you good to think rationally for once, but that begs the question whether your simple minds even know what the word ‘rational’ means…

A: Reiji. I don’t even know what you’re yapping about, but Subaru went ahead and got his filthy hands on my Pancake.

S: Heh. Is that all you can say now, Ayato? Stop repeating the same idiotic thing.

A: The fuck?

R: Ah, Subaru, mind your words. Ayato is right to be upset.

A: See? I told ya!

R: Besides, Ayato. You are the elder brother here, so please keep yourself in check.

A: Fuck off! Don’t order me around!

R: You too, Subaru. You broke the door again, I see… Please refrain from recklessly destroying our things.

02:27 S: What? What’re you meddling in my business for now?

R: I must.

A: And why’s that? Don’t you always tell us to solve our brotherly issues by ourselves?

R: Indeed. That is the case under normal circumstances. However, these are no circumstances for petty brotherly quarrels.

A: What do you mean?

R: Ah. I expected the two of you to already know, but… Ayato. Subaru. Would you look at yourselves in the mirror?

S: Huh?

A: Why?

[Ayato and Subaru look in the mirror. They are surprised by their reflections.]

R: Do you understand now? Your irises are bright-red. You are acting on the unconscious and you are no longer able to control your vampiric impulses.

A: How’d this happen?

S: This makes no sense…

R: It cannot be helped. Her blood is at fault.

S: So that means it’s true. Her awakening is near. 

R: It seems that way.

03:42 A: That makes sense, then. It’s completely different from when she first came here. Even when I only drank a little of her blood, I could feel the power coursing through my body. Almost as if my body wasn’t my own.

S: Yeah. I’ve never tasted blood like hers before. She’s damn near irresistible.

A: Hehe. I won’t hand her over to anyone else. I’ve never felt so strongly that Pancake’s blood is mine. 

S: Never, really? It doesn’t sound any different from what you usually say. You’re just raising hell as you always do.

A: Subaru. You’re pretty cocky for the baby brother of the family. Stop complaining about everything I say.

S: 'Cocky'? That’s lame.

R: Hold on, you two. Subaru. You said she is irresistible. Irresistible how, exactly?

S: Huh? Tch… I want to make her mine, but… there’s something about her blood that’s making me think that way.

R: I see. 

A: That’s the reason? Laito and Kanato tried to pick a fight with me for the same reason. So that means her blood’s driving all of us mad?

R: That seems to be the case. Her blood, so close to awakening, is strong enough to drive us mad. And the ones who know that full well are Richter… and Cordelia.

05:30 A: What?

S: Richter’s been here often lately. So that’s why?

A: They’re scheming something?

R: The fact that Richter showed up right around the time of her awakening is suspicious. It simply cannot be a coincidence. Whatever he is scheming, we cannot let the two of them do as they please. Besides… I wonder whether Richter and Cordelia even share the same goal. They might not. We must find out.

A: So Richter is doing that bitch’s bidding. They probably have the same goal.

R: I wonder about that, because if they share the same goal, they are certainly beating around the bush.

S: They wouldn’t be working together if they didn’t share the same goal, right?

R: If they shared a larger goal, even superficially, they could simply be siding with each other as allies. Well, whatever the case, they came to the Sakamaki house even though they have no reason to be here, so if their scheme involves us, I will not stand idly by.

A: I don’t give a shit about what they’re scheming, but the thought of letting them do as they please really pisses me off.

S: Yeah.

07:03 R: It seems as though you still have not realised the gravity of the situation, Ayato. This is not a matter of this house. It is a Sakamaki family matter.

S: What’s that, Reiji? Are you telling us to improve our brotherly relationship?

A: That’s clearly impossible. D’you eat something strange, Reiji?

R: Not at all. I should not have to tell you this, but of all people, I should know. I am all for solving issues by myself, but in this case, there is no time.

S: Huh?

R: She is just about to awaken.

S: Well, we know that.

R: Take a look.

[Reiji opens the curtains.]

R: A moon this red… I have never seen it before.

S: A blood moon…

R: Whatever the case, we must make a move quickly. Her awakened blood has us at her mercy. It takes all reason away from us. It even poses the danger of making us lose control of ourselves.

S: That’s because no sacrificial bride has ever lived to see her awakening until now. Are you saying we have no idea what we’re up against?

08:26 R: That, too, must be part of Richter and Cordelia’s plan. To make us brothers fight over her awakened blood and lure us into killing one another. It takes away the need for them to get their hands dirty.

A: Hm. Seems like something they’d cook up.

S: Richter only needs to drive Cordelia out of this mansion, though.

A: That’s difficult with that bitch on his side.

R: Heh, indeed. So long as they are limited to this mansion, we must exploit that limitation.

A: Exploit it how?

R: Considering that they are too incompetent to accomplish anything, it seems quite extreme for the Sakamaki family to be their target. I know a way–my own, personal way–to make them regret it.

S: Heh. That sounds just the same as your complaining. I also feel a big change coming on, though. However, that doesn’t mean I’ll get along with you. I’ll do this my own way.

A: Hey, Subaru. Where’re you going?

[Subaru leaves the room.]

09:45 A: Huh. He straight-up ignored me. He pisses me off. Fuck. Ah, I’m fucking parched…

R: Did you not feed on her just now? Is her blood really driving us mad after all?

[Ayato starts to walk away.]

R: Ayato. Where are you going?

A: Fuck off. Where I’m goin’ is none of your business.

[Ayato leaves the room.]

R: Good grief. It seems impossible for us brothers to work together. Oh, well. I have never put much faith in their strength to begin with. I will do this my own way.

[Reiji heads into his laboratory. He is brewing something.]

R: If I can succeed in making this tincture, then… Heh. I will not let them do with her as they please any longer.

the Rayearth OVA

a lot of people didn't like it. I don't see it discussed very much anymore at all (not sure if newer fans know about it or even have any interest), but I'm a big fan.

I love alternate universes, and this isn't a bad one, it's just not fleshed-out very well in its three episodes. I think if the world-building had been more justified and the girls' relationships given a bit more love, maybe more people would have liked it.

the art style is really well-adapted from the anime and manga and I love the darker tones on everyone. everyone has new outfits (though the Knights don't get new, cool armor for some terrible reason, and they're stuck piloting the Mashin in magical-girl-nude.

I very much enjoy the angsty tone and character changes. cmon, how many of us write our own angsty AUs vaguely mirroring canon? this OVA is like an AU fanfic that got animated, and I, for one, eat it up.

Emeraude and Eagle as siblings is a lovely idea, and she is still so haunted by Zagato in a way that rings true to her character from the series. evil Ferio? big fan. feral little Ascot? love it, rip. the Mashin are very fucking cool in this OVA.

Cephiro's world breaking over into Earth's?! excellent!! Windam residing in an enormous empty stadium? absolutely love it. Hikaru does gynmastics and Fuu plays the piano? hell yeah! Alcyone's cat Mashin? all the Cephirans getting Mashin!!!??! why don't more people love this, honestly! Hikaru's Mashin is renamed to Lexus which rocks, I love it.

and we get to see the Knights' canon relationships in a new way: Fuu and Ferio are enemies that come to respect each other. Umi and Ascot fight again, but this time, he doesn't see it her way. Umi and Clef have a bond, and Hikaru and Lantis spend a lot of time together brooding (okay, that's close to canon). I really enjoy the changes, it's something fresh and different from the series. the series canon-aligned ships still sail in the end (Hikaru/Lantis, Umi/Clef, Fuu/Ferio) and it ends bittersweetly.

the Magic Knight Rayearth OVA (simply called RAYEARTH) has been called confusing, but if you think of it as an AU fic, it might be more accessible.

and there is an album of image songs that are really fantastic and should not be missed if you're a fan of those!!!

it doesn't seem to be available on streaming, including CrunchyRoll, but as of this posting the dub is on Youtube in three parts (1, 2, 3). it gets taken down and posted fairly often, so try a search if these links are broken

[black-butler-yasss]

Black butler meets ohshc. Like imagine Ciel and (a deaged for the sake of the mission) Sebastian being requested to go there to investigate a bunch of vanishing students similar to the weston arc. But they end up getting roped into joining the host club. Like I can totally see Sebastian becoming more popular than Tamaki which makes the latter go into his emo corner and grow mushrooms or make hamster homes

(Obsessed with this!!! Had to write about it.)

"Boss hasn't gotten a request in a while. Only his 5 regulars..." Hikaru looks at Kyoya. Kyoya's brow furrows, but he shakes the look away.

"Yes, it seems the new boy has pulled a lot attention away from our valiant king," He pushes his glasses up with his pen. Tamaki wanders over, with blatant optimism.

"What lovely princess is next?" He beems, flipping his hair back.

"No one else for you, boss," Karou croaks, peeking from behind Kyoya. Tamaki is taken aback, dramatically gasping.

"These ladies are all waiting for the new boy, Sebastian," Kyoya simply dtates, writing in his black book.

"S-S-Sebastian?!" He whips his head towards the back of the room. Sebastian sits at a table surrounded by 4 girls. They had to do four a session because of his popularity. Ciel sits at an empty table, glaring at Sebastain. Tamaki mirrors him at the sight.

"Oh Sebastian, you're so funny," One girl dotes. "Oh yes, way funnier than Tamaki," Another chimes in. They all giggle.

"Ladies, please. I'm simply one hell of a host member," He chuckles as he takes one of their hands. Tamaki starts his angry mumble.

"Senpai, what's wrong?" Haruhi asks, walking up. She looks to where he's focused on. "Oh, you just realized that? He's been out performing you since week two. He's quite funny and a great conversationalist." She states, nonchalantly.

They all look over to Tamaki, who has retreated to his shroom corner. He's mumbling words about Sebastian being stupid and him being funnier and a good conversationalist.

the most pathetic reincarnation ever

A little something that was on my mind for weeks now. This is pretty self-indulgent and self-insert - kinda? - so don't take this too seriously because I needed to write it down somewhere before it distracted me too much.

SI as Hikaru Kamiki's identical twin.

I have never given thought to how I would die.

Although I knew it would come eventually - everyone dies, I have lost family members to death before - the thought of dying scared me. Suddenly stopping existing, your soul moving to eternal peace. So because of this fear, I pushed such thoughts away, assuring myself I didn't have to think about this until I was old and wrinkly.

But the thing about death is...It comes unexpectedly and you are almost never prepared for it.

This is exactly what happened to me. One day, I was here and then I simply... wasn't. I can only offer my thanks to god for giving me a quick death so that I didn't have time to get scared or regret leaving my loved ones behind.

And that was supposed to be the end of my story.

Until it wasn't.

"Haruki-nii, wake up!" a voice suddenly yells in my ear.

Huh?! That's not my name at all! And why the hell Japanese with a male suffix which I understand all of a sudden? Startled, I open my eyes and sit up, only to come up face-to-face with a blond boy with violet eyes with a blue tint in them. But the most standing out feature were two stars in them. I only knew two people with such trait. And both of them were fictional. Not real.

And yet Kamiki Hikaru is here before my eyes.

No fucking way. This had to be a dream. A delirium before my soul moves on to heaven. It had to be. There's no other way to explain this. Wake up, wake up!

But no matter how hard, I urged, I did not wake up. Everything stayed the same.

Unaware of my panic, Hikaru gives me a concerned look. "Are you all right, Nii-san? You look sick. Are you that nervous about going to Lala Lai?"

I did not just look sick. I felt sick. And he keeps referencing me as older-my mind grinds to a halt at the name. Lala Lai.

"Lala Lai?" I croak out, throat dry.

"Of course!" Hikaru exclaims, incredulous at my answer. "It's our chance to get out of the orphanage and become famous actors! Shining Twins! Have you forgotten, Nii-san?"

But I have not heard the last question, stuck at one word. Twins. Canon Kamiki Hikaru did not have a twin. He just fathered one pair of twins. I jump out of bed, ignoring Hikaru's surprised shriek, and rush to the mirror in the room.

What greeted me in the reflection was the identical face to Hikaru with the same stars, panicked and pale. I couldn't deny the truth now. Not when it stared at me, showing the feelings I have felt at this very moment.

I was reborn as Kamiki Hikaru's twin. An older sibling to the man who would become so broken by the entertainment industry that he would turn psycho, manipulate, and kill people that had the "star quality". Ai, the girl he loved, and their son, would lose their lives to him.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to throw up.

What was the point of this? I know god works in mysterious ways and I believe he has a purpose, but reincarnation was only cool in fiction. In reality, it completely sucked as my situation showed. It wasn't even due to being related to the antagonist of the manga I read last - whose background and actions were really vague. The only things I know about Hikaru is that he was born in Kanagawa (apparently in an orphanage as he said moments before), graduated from the Faculty of Science, and after Ai broke up with him, that was the last straw for his trauma, and he caused the whole plot of Oshi no Ko.

Thanks for the meager info, Aka. (not).

No, that wasn't the main problem because...Lala Lai. What the actual fuck? While I loved to pretend to be various characters for fun, I do not think I'm cut out for professional acting despite having "eyes of the liar." How am I supposed to survive in the entertainment industry?! I'm no manipulator like Aqua or profiler like Akane. We look to be around ten which means...

Himekawa Airi. Her rape of Hikaru, Taiki's birth.

That's it. We are screwed. Both of us.

This is going to be the most pathetic reincarnation ever. Can I ask for a refund here anyone?

"Haruki-nii?" Hikaru calls again, cutting through my freak out. "Are you sure you're feeling well?"

Swallowing the bile and a hysterical giggle - Haruki, really? Hikaru read as "shine." Mine read as 陽輝 meaning "Sun. Sunlight." and "Brilliant. Splendid". Whomever our parents were, they were totally uncreative with our names - that rose up my throat, I turn towards the boy who was now my younger brother as my earliest memories with him filled my mind, including the promise he spoke of. That meant one thing.

It was official. I was stuck here so I better start adapting, I guess.

"Very sure!" I smile at him, making sure to keep my eyes shut so he wouldn't see through my pathetic attempt.

And that was my first lie as Kamiki Haruki in the world of Oshi no Ko, the world where lies are love.

[basilbunnydraws]

How would I rewrite the most recent Oshi no Ko chapter?

Simple.

Kana gets stabbed. I’m sorry guys, I love her, she’s my favorite character in this manga. But holy shit, you can’t just make all of the parallels between how her and Ai’s stories play out and not have the climaxes of each mirror each other.

Plus, the pure pain of knowing that she never really wanted to be an idol in the first place? And that she was almost out, free to be doing what she really wanted, only to have this happen? The contrast between her life being stolen away before it really even started, and Ai’s being taken right at its peak would hurt way more than this “Ruby is surpassing her mother and so much better than Ai was” bullshit. Ruby is her own person with a different story. But the narrative seems to have forgotten that.

Have Akane watch the attack happen as a direct callback to her and Ruby finding Goro’s body way back in the play arc. She’s there to watch Ruby’s life fall apart when they find the body of someone she used to love. Let her watch Aqua’s life fall apart as the girl that he has immense feelings for, romantic or not, is brutally attacked in the same way that his mother was on the worst day of his life.

Play with the framing. Ruby opens the door in the same way Ai did on that fateful day. Kana and Akane leave Kana’s house, bickering playfully. Both are confronted with people in dark hoodies. We hear someone say “Congrats on your dome concert,” followed by the stabbing. But it’s zoomed in on the knife, the shocked face, and you can’t tell who it is at first. Then boom, we cut to Nino stabbing Kana and Ruby and Hikaru standing face to face.

Nino let her obsession get the better of her. Hikaru wants to see if he can let his go. Kana is possibly dead or dying, and the twins are facing the man that ruined their lives. I’m not saying that this is on par with the writing in the early series - far from it.

But like. If this is what happened, or if what happened was in any way similar. I think people would feel differently towards this chapter than they do now. Hell, if there was even a modicum of this in what we have now, I know I’d be lapping it up like someone in the desert laps up spilled water.

Anyways this just proves that the stage play arc is still peak -

[knabbitrife]

anorher entry to the gory! Yuu's with a twist. Yuu is bleeding to death after a family member or boyfriend stabed her multiple times. As she is staring at herself in a wall mirror as things start to turn black she gets transported to twst. This can go two ways she knows about twst as a game and it's plot or she doesn't. Do to everything during the whole orientation she is very numb and still in shock but later when she gets it together a little she decided: this is eighter a near death hallucination she is having conjured up by her mind or (a bit later) hell (this is kinda logical, isekai is to unrealistic). She figured it's her dying traumatised mind conjuring up her traumas and insecurities in the form she knows(the game). She grew up on a abusive home and hadn't had many healthy friendships eighter, she was starting to distance herself from it all and go to therapy till the 'incident'. And a lot of that trauma came from man so her theory of this just being hell is reasonable cause it's torture for her.

Not sure if she panics or just has this plain acceptance about the whole situation and her death. But maybe she starts to drop lore facts and starts to analyse the boys trauma and her own. Like Riddle when he he starts to lose it she goes into this whole speach comparing riddels mom to her parents, and how this hallucination /torture is about how she always made excuses for them, her denial, not having a choice and abusive dinamic. Honestly instead of an overblot maybe Riddle had an emotional breakdown after it (same for the other trauma boys).

On the gory note another point that makes her certain she is dead or dying is that she is in a form of time stop where all her stab wound are still open but not bleeding also she doesn't need to eat, sleep or can get physicaly hurt. Or she just has scars where she was stabed

The time stop thing is SO COOL because that reminds me of The Summer Hikaru Died where 'Hikaru' opens his chest and Yoshiki could reach in and touch the eldritch horror-isms inside 'Hikaru'. So imagining that but it's this poor girl, frail and anaemic and obviously malnourished, trying to hide as she wears long sleeves and thick clothing because beneath all those layers, a wound that doesn't hurt but still *exists* on her skin—deep, red and disgusting lacerations slashed across her torso—she can't show anyone this. She's essentially living on borrowed time. She's dead, she's as cold as a corpse, frozen in time unable to eat or sleep. Everyday her body resets to how it was the moment of her death. It's maddening and sickening but hey... anything is better than her old life.

[knavestrolls]

ROUND 2 LET'S GO. Warning that the first one is LONG, PERSONAL, and INVOLVES RELIGION. so skip if you're not up to that! Also, please don't take offense if yours isn't as long- it doesn't mean I don't love your characters it just means my brain rambled less getting to the point!

Mondes- @/byrdstrolls Starting here because this is one is going to be really personal. So, I used to have a different favorite troll in the Robinverse and it was absolutely Hikaru. Even did that speedpaint and everything but. When I was working at my last job, I was the only non-christian sect in the dunkin I was at. The ONLY one. Now, I am not religiously Jewish. But I grew up half that way. My dad's side family who lives here is kosher jew (i do not talk to them). My only good stepmother I ever had (who proceeded to traumatize me) is jewish- ethnically and religiously, and she was in my life through 2 other step mothers before her. I grew up in a weird mix of half mexican christianity and half jewish because of where I grew up and because of her. Another friend who has a direct blood jewish mother to inherit it from- she called us "culturally jewish" to describe it. I had like two more paragraphs typed before I realized it's just rambling but to shorten it as much as I can- Mondes was a fellow jew in a time where I needed one. He felt like one of my stepbrothers. That's the best I can describe it. [CORRECTED. not Armenian, she wasn't Armenian! fucking hell tired dave is meshing everything together safe me. She was IRANIAN. IRANIAN. can't be typing this without sleep rip]

Makona-@/the-rainbow-overflow It is no secret how much I love Makona. I could listen to you tell me all the little details of her for HOURS. The teeth??? The in depth snake based TEETH?! The locks?! Her romance with Ptillo?! UGH She makes me SO gay I just. I fucking LOVE Makona

Circin-@/stuckstucktrolls It is, or it should be at this point, a well known fact that I have diagnosed BPD. Circin is like looking into a fucking mirror sometimes. The abandonment anxiety especially you write it so well that I once actually broke my pencil reading I believe one of your replies about it because it triggered my own. It was wonderful- not the abandonment anxiety- but feelings being triggered and getting to flip like that just. Circin and his relationships and how he interacts with the world just. He brings me joy. With or without the label on him.

Shafan-@/hareofhrair Shafan brings me gender euphoria, gender envy, and somehow causes me to be sex repulsed all at once. I ADORE the design. The character is fucking FANTASTIC. The maulmart outfit lives in my head RENT FREE (which I mean, if they're wearing that they ain't paying rent). Shafan brings me such genuine delight- especially their STOMACH!!!

Bellau-@/celestialtrolls Gold's characters are so fucking fun. The alternate palette thing? fucking gorgeous. Bellau is one of the ones on the list where their design stuck with me. I don't have thoughts behind it.

Chimor- @/ask-deepdarksea A dad! A dad who uses a crutch because he bad at walking on land! A giant! A dork! While I tend not to end up interacting just because I get a lil overwhelmed with the nsfw content/suggestive content, I genuinely enjoy your trolls and was so happy you came back.

The Wanderer- @/muteddrifter Just. Oh my god that design fucks so severely. A LOT of your designs do! If it weren't for my lack of money and pile of comms I need to buy, that alcremie would be mine. <3

Maylon-@/damistrolls Maylon and Juniee! I literally just had the thing up to double check how to spell their names and I've already forgotten if it was right. Anyways. The fucking Re-educators? Their Siblingness? Their Jesse-James-esque pose?? Maylon's fucking HAT SHADOW?! Both of their smiles?! OUGH I am GAY. GAY GAY GAY

Atreus- @/cybernatedbeholder Tits- I mean tits- I mean-tits- I MEAN. The design (yes even the tits) is SO fun. It's looming, even sitting down. The eyes stay with me. AND THE HAIR OH MY GOD THE HAIR. Now, I used to have a favorite but they don't really exist anymore but Atreus took that spot SO quick when I saw,,,

Zedaya-@/a-gaggle-of-colors Okay. Bare with me, this one is mostly old memory. I remember that he's an heir, and that he's got a cute lil bow tie. And that he's SHORT and APPLE SHAPED!!! Which is SO IMPORTANT TO ME. His design is so cute and the cape!! I think I drew him once, though I don't think I liked how I did the hair in the end.. felt too straight?

Apollo- @/one-twisted-sister My favorite to see dressed up. So good in SO many outfits. Her design is so fun that I love to see every single iteration she could be in I just, OUGH. You are another one too where all your designs fuck so hard it's so hard to pick!

Metier-@/ketchfantrolls THE INTRIGUE. THE MYSTERIOUS (TALL) LIL GUY. The fucking FINS. I die for those fins every time. And the sprite's pose is so fun and ough. I know y'all's main group moved on, and you guys seem happier there and it makes me genuinely happy to know y'all are doing better there, but I'm keeping all your trolls, son-in-law. Mi mijo's too. all mine now.

Okay that is all I have steam for. Again, this is by no means an exhaustive list. The FTC is full of amazing creators with trolls I stare at or read about endlessly because I am an insane lurker and love to know about OCs.

Do you remember your favorite fan troll you’ve ever seen that wasn’t one of yours?

Okay so this is such a loaded question but not in a BAD way. I hope y'all are ready for some dropped names. I'm not going to ping anyone, I don't want to step on toes! LONG ASS POST. I AM NOT KIDDING.

Sid Cada @/lordtonic - I may be yellow colorblind but god damn I love sid. Enough that it makes me angry I know I can't see that damn suit right sometimes. I picked Sid as my favorite one day and my brain stuck to it so hard that while I do legitimately love every other troll there, Sid makes me light up like I've just see a lizard [which with Sid, sometimes those things both happen]

Thread @/sasster My favorite chase troll changes a LOT. Chase has INSANELY GOOD TROLLS AND FUN CHARACTERIZATION. Stryx was actually my first favorite troll of Chase's and how I found the sasster blog BUT. Thread is SO good. She's so fun and oh my god. Snakes,,, [WOMAN. also her one romance with the uhhh commander I think? The white suit with both arms on one side in her sprites.. sleepless brain is killing me rn- but oh my god it's SO fun to see them flirt.]

Mallum @/roetrolls Okay so. I know everyone would think I'd put Remora and they're NOT WRONG I STILL ADORE REMORA. But through the storylines I just fell HARD for Mallum. The redemption? The struggle? I literally can't hear "Main Character" by Wil Wood without imagining a whole animatic of Mallum to it! The only thing that stops me (besides time) from making it is I know I do NOT know enough to make it any form of accurate. [after coming back to proofread: also the fact that Roe is an amazing animator and my brain struggles with the 'well x could just do it'. Not the point brain!]

ALLMAH @/ase-trollplays Listen. Here on the knavestrolls we are villain enjoyers. And we are WOMEN enjoyers. And WE SUPPORT WOMEN'S WRONGS. WE WANT THEM TO DO MORE IN FACT. Allmah my beloved. Free her. She did all of it I just think she should be free to do more. [doubling down. Let Allmah commit new warcrimes. Let her invent them]

Veketi @/windy-trickster Mi mijo has so many good trolls that it's always hard to pick. But Veketi gets a soft spot for me because we made Veketi and Liegia together. Because I made Veketi's sprites and I want to remake them because I think they look god awful now but they still get USED when he's around. They still read like they're fun! Becase Star has an amazing way of making the sprites WORK with what the character is saying too. <33

Melanc @/ask-melanc-vivura I.. don't actually have a long explanation for this one. This is another BPD brain pick that's really silly. I drew her with her boobs mostly out and have just loved her ever since. I am weak to women I can pin up. [PIN UP ART. PIN UP ART.]

Galeia- @/videcoeur This is another one I don't have a good long explanation for just.. pretty fish. I'm love pretty robit fish. Plus, science and REALLY FUCKED UP science,, my beloved [Fun fact i am weak to every single Videcoeur character, OC or otherwise. And the moment she arts? I'm dead. One day I'll be able to afford sprites]

Arceel- @/memurfevur I'm pretty sure I spelt his name wrong and I do not care, he can fist fight me. Not the author, the troll. Papa Arceel! One of my favorite troll to interact with because I can go to that troll with some of the stupidest questions and get a legitimate answer. Sometimes, one I didn't even know I needed [Also I am SO sad upon realizing I don't have the stupid meme image of his head over Beast now.]

Rynthu- @/lashysdomain Again, pretty sure I spelt it wrong but she'll forgive me I think (the troll). Just all around a fun character. Has so many fun plots in so many fun ways/worlds! Her romance with Watch'r is adorable as hell, but I'm not obsessed with the Watch'r side, it's her side I follow. As if it's one of the many romance webtoon I cling to and she's the FL.

PELEXI- @/mageofspacemultiverse DRAGON. WOMAN. WE SUPPORT DRAGON WOMEN'S WRONGS. Especially when they're funny. Plus like listen. Listen. Have they actually dated? No. Have they even gotten past a SINGLE conversation? NO. But that's Esstoc's wife and I don't take excuses

Charon - @/asks-n-trolls If I could romance 1 old troll............also honestly I love a LOT of Dan's trolls. Each one has such a fun personality, cute quirks- and FLAWS!!! I LOVE FLAWS!!

Alacar- @/alacarhelsng I can type freely here, because I *know* that he will never read this so. Alacar is genuinely one of my favorite characters my husband has ever made. He's so genuinely fun to play off of as a character, to build around! His design is SO freaky and silly and fun! I forget his damn scar EVERY TIME! He's getting surprise gift sprites done and I had to go back and rewrite the notes to please include the scar and add more references because I had forgotten AGAIN. He's SO ODY coded but he's also so Achilles coded. He didn't want to fight in this damn war. He wanted to spend his days with his Patroclus (AND HIS PENELOPE). He wanted to laugh and joy! And now look what this journey has turned him into! What losing those people has turned him into! Ugh I could go on forever- and I will, if ever given the chance, because I know that my husband isn't around on here as often and isn't very known but god DAMN I need y'all to appreciate the fun builds he makes. (also Qimzal is my second favorite and depending on what song wins you might get some insight on why)

Chrona- @/8bit-mau5 Okay. So. This one is REALLY hard to narrow to one because I also adore Malice and Opal. Crow's getting it for the STUPIDEST of reasons though. I'm weak to pinstripe. All three characters are a genuine joy to have on my dash any time they appear I am over the moon! I want all three of them worse and better all at once!! Also I would not trust Crow to actually help me in a court of law. Should I? Maybe.

Nereus- @/nethertrolls The design? KILLER. The stories? Absolutely enthralled me. Also, Nereus just reminds me of the Outsider from Dishonored sometimes and I ADORE The Outsider. To the point where I do actually plan on getting his mark tattooed eventually! So just.. Genuine attachment regardless of any story changes I'm dedicated to Nereus

@/goddesstrolls For religious reasons, I can't post her name. Starts with an H. She's Bast's very buff beautiful rust woman. A huntress. A legend. An icon. I ADORE her. It KILLS ME that I can't interact with her because I can't say her name!! Plus I just get nervous because,, womyn,,

 Ailaxi- @/tempi-fantrolls Okay, so this is going to be very shameful of me and we're all just going to ignore it for a moment okay? I struggle to keep up with the dash, even when I had the free time and the mental health but the #1 troll I always managed to catch on my dash was Ailaxi from them. And oh my GOD I ADORE lil grouches! Especially SOFTIE GROUCHES. It has been a while since I've been able to keep up at any level so this is VERY much just vague memory but I see that gray man and I'm like yes. my boy he has returned.

Daiona- @/norts-trolls Nort is another person I struggle to pick favorites with but right now it is STRONGLY Daiona. This I don't have words for in the same way I don't have words for the profound loneliness that sneaks up on me that I can only explain via sending my husband pictures of abandoned, overgrown, half destroyed houses that look like no one's even urban explored them in at least a decade. Daiona fills that same feeling to me, I hope someone makes sense of that.

Voghel- @/happyhappyfantrolls I have said it once, I will say it again, we are VILLAIN LOVERS here at Knavestroll! Voghel was one I locked onto early and have not let go! I try to go keep up with events and comics on this blog when possible because so many characters have fun interactions, deep relationships, and there's familial bonds that get to me...but also I want to see Voghel.

Babble- @/wandering-trolls I NEVER leave behind an EDM girlie. Just look at her. Look at her and tell me you can't love her I'll fist fight you

Mikael - @/mik-mania I just think Mikael is neat. That's it. thats the whole thought

Rhulan- @/morgombie It was love at first sight. If I remember right, I think I even got to draw her once! Not 100% on that thought, please remember I do have memory problems. but anyways! THE DESIGN FUCKS SEVERELY. SO GOD DAMN STRONGLY.

Malara- @/ask-swagger-dagger-trolls I was blessed with getting to know the story behind Malara's design and it stuck with me. Some days I think about doing something similar but honestly, Malara fills that need for me. She's like a silent presence with me sometimes. Filling in where that friend would have. Now, Tam has some amazing other trolls I love for lots of insanely silly reasons but..Malara stuck with me the most, for that reason.

Wicata- @/goldenguillotines So. I have to be honest, GG has a lot of trolls and I love so many of them that with my memory issues some of them bleed together. I did have to go look up her name, but this is a design that sticks with me. When I think of GG, this is the design that comes to mind because to me. I would see her on my dash endlessly and every time I saw her I'd stop scrolling because I had discovered another neat little detail in her sprites, in the art of her, in her design! GG has so many amazing designs and characters so please don't take this as a 'this is all there is' it's just what stuck with my broken brain.

HeeHoo - @/trollbreak JONAH. One of the platonic loves of my life is literally all of Jonah's clowns, and I am the EXTREMELY proud owner of a clown designed by Jonah! (As well as a mimic dragon amongst other designs) But I can firmly say my Jonah-clown obsession started with Heehoo. He's just a little guy! He would never do a murder, it'd dirty his pom poms! Just a lil guy who does a lil dance and stands in your hands and when he leaves and you look down there's rainbow footprints on your palm! Just OUGH Peak Clown for me. Peak clown design for me too. The mustache fucking kills me

Now, this is not NEARLY all of them. I could go on for ages but I've been told by three separate people to go try sleep again because I've hit the 27 hour mark but. Here is a small handfull of favorite trolls and thoughts about them!

[colorseeingchick]

Request: Hey, love! Here comes your first ohshc request! Hope u're not busy or anything. ok... how about a kaoru hitachin x reader where they're just spending time and having fun and being all cuddly and fluffy??? Sending you hugs.

Summary: What was supposed to be a hangout with both twins turns into a hangout with just one -- Kaoru. And that hangout basically turns into a date. But what will he do now that he's got the time to spend with you?

Rating: E for Everybody bb this is wholesome and cute

Word count: 2.5k don't act surprised now

Warnings: Soft, unedited. Umbrella language warning bc I usually swear but cannot remember if I did in this one.

“Do you think I should just cancel?” 

“No. Kaoru. Just go. If both of us dip at the last minute, she’d be so sad.” 

Kaoru bites his lip as he thinks. He and Hikaru were supposed to go on an outing with you, after Kyoya had raffled away a “hang out with your favorite host” prize to raise money for the club. As per usual,m the twins were a package deal. But unfortunately Hikaru had gotten sick, and that meant that Kaoru will have to go on this outing alone, leaving him with you, his crush. It’s a bit much for his heart to process. 

“What are you so worried about! Isn’t this the dream, to be with Y/N one on one?” 

Instead of responding, Kaoru just adjusts his hair for the fifth time in the mirror.

“Stop being a baby. It’s just a hang out, not a date. Hell, we flirt with women as a part time job, this shouldn’t be a problem for you.” 

Kaoru sighs, adjusting his jacket as he glances at his brother giving him the thumbs up.

But I don’t like most women the way I like her… is the last thought in his mind before walking out the door. 

***

“Hi Kao-kun!” You yell out from the meeting point when you see him come into your sightline. “Where’s Hikaru-kun?”

“You’re lookin’ at him. I think you mean to ask where Kaoru is, yeah?” He asks you as he finally ends up just a few feet in front of you. 

You gaze at him, squint, and then take a step closer. Immediately, Kaoru’s face dusts pink, but he maintains his composure while trying to imitate his twin’s subtle smirk and cocky disposition. 

“Mm, you don’t have to play the game every time, you know. You’re definitely Kao-kun.”

His stomach bubbles at the way you’re so sure of him. He knows you know. You get the two of them right every single time. But the reminder feels so good, he can’t help himself. He relaxes his stance, his hand coming up to rub the back of his head. 

“Sorry, I guess I can’t help myself when I’m out alone,” he says with an embarrassed smile. 

You immediately smile back, melting his heart a bit. “It’s okay, I think the game is quite cute anyways. But where is Hikaru-kun?” you look around, trying to see if he’s hiding anywhere. 

“He’s quite sick actually, so he won’t be able to make it. He told me to tell you he was sorry, we know you were supposed to get to hang out with both of us today-” 

“Oh, it’s no worry at all, Kao-kun! I just hope he’s okay.” 

“Will you be okay if it’s just me then?” He asks, a little nervousness hidden in his voice. 

“Of course, I’d love to spend more time with you.” 

That answer is all he needed to be confident in your adventure today. He extends his elbow out to you, “I’m glad, too.” You link your arm onto his before heading off, letting him lead the way. 

***

The first half of his outing with you goes perfectly. A leisurely walk around a beautiful garden, followed by some ice cream has you both giggling and relaxed. It’s why when you both sit down on a bench in said garden and talk for an hour, neither of you realize how the time goes by. 

It’s not until a storm rolls in out of nowhere that the energy of your hangout changes a bit. 

“Did you feel that?” you ask Kaoru mid conversation, quickly pulling his attention to your surroundings. 

“What’s up?” 

“I think it’s…raining?” you say. 

“There’s no way. The forecast didn’t say anything about…oh.” Kaoru cuts his words short when he feels a cold drop of water land on his arm. “I’m so sorry, Y/N. I didn’t bring an umbrella.” 

“I didn’t either, don’t worry,” you reassure him, placing your hand on the back of his. 

“But it should be okay, it probably won’t rain that hard, right?” 

Within three minutes, the slight drizzle started to pick up into a downpour, leaving you and Kaoru in shock. 

Well, I’ve never been more wrong, he thinks to himself, embarrassed as his hair flops down over his eyes, water soaked. Before he can even brainstorm how to recover this sudden mess, you grab his hand and tug. 

“My house is close enough! We can stay there for now!” You yell out over the sound of the downpour. 

His eyes widen at your offer, and before he can even respond, he’s being led away by you. He thought his crush was as bad as could be before he even went on his outing with you today. But as he watches your damp hair get tossed side to side, your hand’s grip tighten around his, and your little bounce in your run as you splash through puddles to get to your home, he finds you worth all the adoration his heart can muster. 

As you both finally near your house, your butlers open the doors and you both toss yourself through the entranceway. You let yourself fall to the ground, exhausted, as Kaoru rests his hands on his knees, regaining his breath. 

“My Lady, are you alright!” your worried butler comes close, fearful of your fall. 

“I’m fine, Tim, I’m fine. Please, just grab us a couple towels.” 

“As you wish, but do you need assistance-” 

“I got her,” Kaoru reassures your butler, extending his hand out to you. You grab it graciously as he pulls you up, steadying you at your waist once you’re on your feet. 

Tim bows in acknowledgement of Kaoru, smiling at your happy energy despite being soaked through, and heads off to get some towels. 

Kaoru slowly lets his hand drop from your waist after letting it hover for a second, and he lets you take the initiative to pull your hand away (which you also do just as reluctantly, he notes). 

“Y/N, I’m sorry, I wasn’t prepared for it to rain like that, I didn’t mean for you to get-” 

You giggle before Kaoru can even finish his apology. “Kao-kun, you don’t control the weather, you don’t have anything to apologize for. Also, it was….kinda fun? Running in the rain with you, was actually really fun.” 

The “with you” part of what you said echoes in Kaoru’s ears for a whole minute before letting the dopey smile fall from his face and returning your sentiments. 

“Young master, should you please, we have extra clothes prepared for you as well.” Your servant talks from across the foyer to Kaoru. He tilts his head, a bit surprised, but content nonetheless and graciously accepts the dry clothes. 

“They’re my brother’s, if that’s okay,” you offer the information to Kaoru. 

You have a brother? Is the question that runs through his head. “Your brother won’t mind?” He asks you.

“Yeah, he’s actually really relaxed, never really cared for high society or owning a bunch of stuff. He definitely won’t care.” 

“He has good fashion sense,” Kaoru says as he inspects the joggers and oversized shirt. 

Your bubbly smile has Kaoru’s heart leaping. “I’m glad you like it. You can go change in the bathroom down the hall, Tim can take you there.”

***

After changing, Kaoru wanders back to the living room (where Tim said you’d be), and he takes a moment to process how adorable you are in shorts and an oversized shirt, and as he approaches you on the couch, he can’t help but imagine how cute you’d be in his own clothes. 

“I’m so glad my brother’s clothes fit you perfectly!” You say as you scooch over to make space for Kaoru next to you.  

“I’m glad, too,” he responds as he sits, leaving more space than he wants to between you two.

“So, I don’t know when you want to go back home, but…” you trail off, uncertainty traceable in your voice. 

“Mm? What’s up, Y/N?” He tries to coax the rest of the sentence out of you, voice soft. 

“If you wanted to watch a movie with me, I thought that it’d be a good pastime…” 

Kaoru’s heartbeat immediately picks up. He knows it’s in his head, but something about watching a movie would be a bit different. Even until now, your guys’s ‘hangout’ had a lot of underlying tones of a date, which he tried not to think too much about. But now that you’re both together in a house draped in cozy clothes, a movie would be just such a domestic and romantic addition. 

It’s the recurring dream he’d been wishing for since a few months after he met you. 

“A movie sounds like a great idea, Y/N,” he reassures you, enjoying the way you visibly relax. 

***

For some dumb reason you both decided to watch a horror movie. Whether you loved it or hated it, Kaoru is mortified. As the jump scares continue to pop up on the screen with eerie music in the background, he presses his shoulder to yours, hiding under a blanket you’d given him. At a particularly bad jump scare, he finds himself hiding his face in your neck. He pulls back after the fear dies down and the realization of what he just did hits him. He looks at you wide eyed, waiting to see what your reaction might be. His heart somersaults when he sees a little embarrassed expression spread across your face. 

Maybe, just maybe, my crush is returned, he surmises. He turns to glance behind you both, checking for any servants who may have been walking around. When he sees none, he takes a deep breath and turns back to you. 

“I’m sorry, I’m such a scaredy cat, you have to promise not to tell anyone, mkay?” he asks you in hushed tones. You smile widely at him back. 

“Your secret is safe with me, Kao-kun.” But even after the words leave your lips, neither of you drop eye contact. You watch as he inspects your face closely, eyes glowing in the dark from the light straying from the TV screen. You suddenly process just how close you are. With the ambient lull of rain in the background and the warmth of the blankets draped over you both, being in each other’s presence starts to feel like a sleep-hazed dream. “Y/N, is it okay, if I, uh…” 

You tilt your head, encouraging him to finish his thoughts. 

“Can I hold you? It might make watching the scary movie easier.” 

The slight embarrassment on your face swells to a full on flustered look. But you keep your words simple. “I agree, it would be easier. So, yes. You, you can do that, if you want.” 

He’s quiet as he scooches back on the couch, pulling his blanket back to make space for you. When you only move a bit closer to him, he decides to take the initiative to grab your hips and pull you back even closer to his side. “Is this okay?” And he takes your energetic nod for an answer. Throwing the blanket over you, he wraps his right arm over your shoulder, taking great pleasure in the weight of your body pressing against his right side. 

His theory was right. Watching the movie like this is so much easier. So much cozier. As time goes on, you both start to tilt more and more, until he’s finally laying against the arm of the chair and you’re laying against his side. He doesn’t even think much of when your head falls onto his chest. It isn’t until the end of the movie that he realizes you’ve fallen asleep.

So pretty, he thinks. It’s the phrase that’s been on replay in his mind all day, but now really sold him on the thought. There’s no going back, he really truly does like you. 

“Y/N, hey,” he coos at you, gently rubbing his thumb against your arm to try and get you to wake up. 

“Mm,” you murmur, and he feels like he could melt. How cute could you get? 

“I should go home. And you should go sleep in your bed.” 

“Mm,” you say in a disapproving tone. He laughs a bit at that. 

He gets off the couch (somehow) before sitting you up and putting your arm around his shoulder, deciding to walk you up (with approval from your butler first, of course). 

By the time you’re half way up the steps, you start to wake up from your drowsiness. 

“Kao-kun, what are you-”

“I’m just helping you get to bed, I told Tim already, so he knows.” 

“You’re too sweet, I’m so sorry I fell asleep-” you shake your head in annoyance at yourself. 

“Don’t worry about it, you were so cute.” He doesn’t regret the words as they fall from his mouth. 

Too sleepy and flustered to respond, you just feel your cheeks heat up as you turn your face away from him. 

After getting to the top of the steps, Kaoru says “I think you got it from here,” with a smile on his face. “Goodnight, Y/N.” 

“Wait,” you say as Kaoru turns to go back down the steps. “I just want to thank you for today, Kao-kun. I really, really, really enjoy spending time with you, and I’d like to do that more, if you want to as well.” 

Kaoru pauses, lets a giant smile cross his face, and steps close to you, happy to see that you didn’t back away. He opens his arms to you, and feels electricity course through his body when you let your arms wrap around him. He hugs you tight, refusing to let go for a solid 30 seconds, rocking back and forth. “I’d absolutely love to do that, Y/N. And for the record, if it wasn’t already super clear, I also love spending time with you.” 

As you both pull away, space increasing between your bodies, but arms still on each other’s backs, you give each other an earnest look. 

“Can I…” his words stop but his question is clear through his eyes. 

“Please,” you respond gently. 

As you close your eyes, you feel Kaoru place a chaste kiss on your forehead, pull away, and then place another one on your cheek. When you open your eyes, you can see his cheeks reddening. “I have another one I want to give you, but that’ll only happen if you let me take you out on a real date.” he finally pulls away, awaiting your answer. There's a shared pause, before you respond.

“...next week?” 

His face brightens up like you’d never seen before. 

“Next week it is then.”

ugh this lowkey feels really bad I'm so sorry

I love Kaoru. But I've never read the manga, so writing this really revealed to me how much injustice was done to him in the show. He's really only characterized in his dynamic with Hikaru, and we get a peak at what seperates him from Hikaru, but I don't think I've ever seen him fully in action by himself like we do the rest of the hosts.

Despite it all, he was my favorite growing up. I hope I can get better at writing him.

Obvi the rain element parallels Hika's date w Haruhi, I like callbacks lol.

Tim is a real butler in an anime, if anyone guesses it I'll be shocked for days.

Hostess| Kyoya Ootori x reader

Part two - Attack of lady manager!

Pairing : Kyoya Ootori x reader

General rating : Fluff, enemies to love vibes

Word count : 4k

Summary: As only heir to your family you are bound to an arranged marriage with the third son of the powerful house Ootori. His cold behavior is only a mask for you to uncover when you stumble into music room number three.

A/N: For the sole purpose that I can not imagine Honey as a two feet tall teenager, I will use his actual size which is 4 feet 10 (I’m one inch taller than him rip) some angst a bit ahead as well hihi

You didn’t expect your assignment to be making an announcement during your break in front of the whole school. You thought it would be to properly serve your guests, you think it was Kyoya’s idea to make you do this. You look down the balcony you are standing on looking at the sea of people in the yard. You look back to Tamaki and Haruhi which both give you a thumbs up. Oh what the hell, a deal’s a deal.

“Attention ladies and gentlemen!” Your loud melodious voices make everyone’s head turn towards the balcony and you put on your brightest and prettiest smile you can pull. “As you probably all know by now, I’m y/n y/l/n. I recently joined the wonderful Host Club as their new and only female host! I welcome all ladies and gentlemen who wish to have me as their host! With that, I hope you all have a marvelous day and I will see you in the music room 3.” You finish your announcement with a graceful bow and turn back to the two who accompanied you and gave you another thumbs up. 

Now you only hope that people will indeed come meet with you, so you can keep your part of the deal. You are a clever girl, you’ll find something else to bring people in the Host Club. You could bake cookies, pies? Let’s focus on plan A and then you’ll see if you need to resort to baking sweets.  

You’ve been trying for the past ten minutes to put tea in a teacup the “correct way” as the twins assure you it’s the only way to do it. Until one of them cracks under your frustration and lightly giggles. These bastards.

“You were just messing with me? This whole time!” You wanted to throw the whole tea set at them.

“You should’ve known there’s no such thing as a better proper way to serve tea.” Hikaru snorts.

“That’s on you.” The other, Kaoru shrugs.

“You guys are going to get a smack on the back of your head from me, one day.”

“If it’s by a pretty girl like you, I’ll take the punishment twice.” Hikaru smiles deliciously at you. Now he made it weird. You roll your eyes and serve them tea the way you were trained to. 

“Your tea, my lords.” You set the teapot down on the coffee table a little rougher than intended and walk back to the mirror to check yourself out one last time before the guests arrive.

You felt amazing in this blue blazer. You’ve spoken to the director this morning and eventually agreed upon this as your new uniform. You’ve made some changes on it to look more feminine; you’ve tightened the waist so it would be slimmer and give you an hourglass figure to please the crowd and you’ve cropped the trousers which were way too large! 

Honey appears behind you and hugs your waist with his head by your shoulder. You were taller than Honey because he was relatively small with his four feet ten, but compared to the other boys you felt as small as him with them towering you all day long.

“You look as sweet as my cake!” His grip was strong and you wondered how this small teenage boy was so built. “Isn't that right Mori?” His friend nods and you blush. He was a man of few words, but that gesture of agreement made you happy. “I would say the prettiest third year!”

“Thank you.” This club will be the death of you with all those compliments thrown at you. 

“You may look the part, but can you actually be a good host?” Kyoya’s voice echoes in the pink royal-like room.

“Have a little faith.” You fix your tie once again. “You don’t have to like me to have some faith.” You were looking at him through the mirror and gave him a stink eye. These little comments… He can shove them up his fancy ass.

“I do have faith in you, my flower.” Tamaki smiles which you return gladly. “Now, now! Be ready our guests are about to enter.” Tamaki claps his hands together and we all gather up in front of the door to greet the girls and boys from our school. 

Tamaki wanted you to be the one to greet them all when you open the door so that everyone can see how beautiful your smile is. His exact words were : “You have a smile that lights up every room you walk into.” An odd compliment you gladly took. 

Your hand is on the golden doorknob and you take a few breaths before opening the door graciously to meet with hundreds of girls eager to enter the room. This club is really popular! “My dear guest, we are honored to have you as our guest on this beautiful day, may you find your host's company memorable.” You smile to the huge crowd of girls who almost run towards every host, but you. 

“Not so popular.” Kyoya chuckles next to you. This guy, if you weren’t bound to him you would’ve smacked him hard. “Don’t get too comfortable in that uniform y/n.” He adds. 

“Excuse me, may I request you as my host for this evening?” A warm voice is heard behind you, your annoyance changes to express a proud smile before turning to your rather handsome guest. 

“Told you to have some faith in me Kyoya.” You whisper as you take your guest’s hand and lead him to a couch. You take a good look at him, he’s tall with light brown hair and has this fierce look in his eyes that only sparked fire when you looked into them. His eyes were not meant to be on a soft face like his. 

“What’s your name my darling?” You ask him as you sit closer to him, but not enough to make him uncomfortable.

“Konishi Masashi.” He blushes. A shy one. His tough appearance didn’t match his blush, but definitely was adorable. Remember your training, the small voice of Tamaki rings in your head. You didn’t have any real training so you’ll have to wing it.

“A beautiful name like yours only means elegance and splendor, am I right?” You bat your eyelashes at him to only make him blush harder.

“Yes you are. My mother gave me that name.” He smiles.

“A suitable name for a fine gentleman.” You giggle.

“You’re too kind.” He chokes looking away. 

You gently cup his cheek with one of your hands and slowly get closer, just as Tamaki once did to you. “There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you my darling, you are my first guest and I hope you’ll ask for me again next time, though I wish you wouldn’t have to go.” You show him a sad expression. “I would rather spend my days gazing at your beautiful features.”

You hear a scoff in the far back of the room and you can only imagine it’s Kyoya. You look behind your guest to see a new bunch of people entering the tall and large white doors of the room, boys and girls. Tamaki greets them with a grand gesture as you sweetly talk to Konishi. 

“We’d like to request your newest member.” A deep voice asks Tamaki and he turns towards you before leading the group of boys to you. You were already fulfilling your part of the deal greatly. The sin of pride engulfed your entire being and you do not dare to look back to Kyoya and show him that proud face of yours to him, afraid it might hurt his ego. Thinking about it, you turn your head slightly to meet his eyes that were already on you and you smirk that only meant : I told you so. 

You’re finally done with all of your guests and go sit at a table next to Kyoya to sip some tea. Being nice, bubbly and romantic to every single one of your guests today is exhausting. You start doubting your choice of being here. 

“It seems you’ve made your point.” He says bluntly, never meeting your eyes. They were fixed on his computer. 

“What’s that Kyoya? I did an outstanding job? I know, I know, no need for applause.” You pat yourself on the shoulder. You look over a pillar in the far back of the room and notice a girl creeping on the both of you. “I think you also have a shy crush over there.” You giggle. You start to stand up to greet her, but Tamaki beats you to it. 

You take your eyes off of her one second and the next you can hear Tamaki’s gasp echoing in this room as she calls him a phony man.

“I find it hard to believe that someone like you is the prince of this club!” She yells pointing at him, her voice is squeaky like a mouse and you can’t help but choke on your laughter. Tamaki dramatically backs away from her, hurt by her cruel words. You quickly catch Tamaki as he is about to faint and lightly smacks him on his cheek. “It’s you Kyoya!” She yells once more as she runs to your fiancé and jumps in his arms lovingly. Did you miss an episode? “My one and only prince.” Now you’ve lost it. You giggle as she hugs Kyoya so tenderly and he stands there not knowing how to respond. He looks over and gives you a death stare which you had to excuse yourself a bit to go on and laugh in the hallway.

“So Kyoya is your fiance?” Kaoru asks again, still not believing her words.

“Of course! My name is Renge Houshakuji, I’m a new first year transfer student.” She takes a quick sip of her tea and we can all hear the deep moan of despair Tamaki hums in the corner of the room.

“Why is he sulking?” You ask Haruhi who seems closer to him than you are, but Hikaru is faster with his answer.

“Because mommy kept a secret from daddy.” He simply says. Mommy and daddy? Kyoya is the mommy of the group and Tamaki’s your dad… This strangely made sense to you. 

“Whatever…” Kyoya sighs. 

“It was love at first sight!” Renge interrupts Tamaki’s sulking moment. “I couldn’t resist the way you were looking at those flowers in the backyard when no one else was looking.” She was sparkling with love and adoration.

“Could you maybe have the wrong person?” Haruhi suggests.

“No way! I could recognize my love anywhere!” She’s really into Kyoya. Maybe he did have another fiance, she’s pretty intense.

She rambles on and on about his characters and how perfect Kyoya is and to be honest you were bored of it already, until she said otaku… She’s in love with a character that looks like Kyoya… in a video game…

“I get it now, you’re in love with that character and you're projecting that love onto me.” He starts. “And you’ve deluded yourself thinking we are engaged.”

“So you’re not engaged to her?” Tamaki asks his friend.

“I am, but not to her.”  He completes his statement. He could’ve said it sooner. “Besides, it's the first time I’ve met the woman.” Well, you’ve met him nine more times than she did and you’re engaged. Her story wouldn’t have surprised you if it was true.

“So Kyoya you’re the director of this club right?” She sits closer to him praising him on how hardworking he is. “I’m going to become the manager of this club so we can always work together and make the Host Club a better place!” She offers, you think. “We should advertise the club!” She squeals in pure joy. “I have to make some calls!”

She kidnapped your fiancé for the rest of your club activities before you went back to your afternoon classes.

“So what do you think of Renge?” You ask Mori and Honey as you both walk to your class together.

“She’s energetic.” Mori’s deep voice is heard.

“I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a lady manager cut some slacks from Kyoya, he’s always working.” Honey adds. He is always working if he’s not with a guest and would rather count numbers than be with one. Maybe Renge won’t be a bad addition to your group.

The day after was a day you weren’t expecting at all. Renge opened the large doors of the Host Club and slammed them shut behind her.

“Good morning my hosts! I have some great news for you! You guys are all lacking something fun, you need a difficult background so that more girls will be head over heels for you. Are you trying to ruin my precious Kyoya’s business? It’s my duty as manager to change your background and make it interesting. Let’s start with you!” She points at Honey’s who only showed fear towards Renge. “From now on you’ll be the baby-faced thug!” Honey as a thug, you wanted to laugh.  “Mori, you'll be his childhood best friend! The twins will be basketball players torn over a girl.” This is getting way out of character. “Haruhi will be the honor student constantly bullied. Tamaki will be the lonely prince and as for you y/n!” She points back at you and you swore you had tears in your eyes from keeping that laughter inside. “You’ll be the young assistant manager who’s secretly in love with both basketball players!” Renge smiles proudly at her idea. Both twins? “And Kyoya, you stay exactly like you are because you are perfect!” She smiles as she pulls out her phone.

“That’s outrageous.” You laugh. “What kind of advertisement is that?” You giggle.

“Renge’s family is an important client to mine so please be polite so you stay on my family's good side.” Kyoya whispers to you as a warning. 

“That’s a great idea, Renge!” You giggle. “Are we talking about hopeless romance or just stalking creepily?” You ask her trying to catch your breath.

“Hopeless romance! A love triangle with two future NBA players!” Gotcha! This day will certainly be entertaining, especially if you skip some class because of it. 

“A love triangle is all it took to get you committed?” Kyoya asks disappointed. 

“I get to flirt with handsome twins, why not?” You smirk and he rolls his eyes. “Remember, bachelors?” He politely nods. “Twin brothers torn over a girl causing them to fight over her on the court. What do you think, Renge?” You shout so she can hear your story.

“It’s perfect!” She yells back and you smile proudly at Kyoya.

“Have fun with your other fiancé.” You pat him on the shoulder.

“The camera crew is on their way!” She rushes to cling onto Kyoya’s arm. 

The camera crew? You’re filming this advertisement?

It’s not just any camera crew, a Hollywood one! I guess they were already filming in Japan if they arrived not even half an hour after Renge’s call ended. and leave to go meet with the twins who changed uniforms for basketball ones. 

“Looking good. I’m almost tempted to draft you for the NBA right now.” You giggle and they both snort at the same time. “Talk about looks, look at your manager's outfit.”

“It’s terrible.” Kaoru gags and you laugh, throwing your head back.

“It’s a little tight, but it’s cute, no?” You twirl to show your aggressively tight uniform. Renge picked her size over yours and it shows. You and your uniforms… “Well regardless, you’ll have to act like you’re madly in love with me.” 

“Won’t be that hard.” Kaoru smiles and so does his twin.

“You’re pretty cute.” Hikaru adds and you smile with all your teeth. That’s a very bold statement to throw at seven in the morning especially since you’ve known them for, soon, two days. But compliments never hurt anyone. 

“I believe you two should be in the gymnasium for your next scene.” A strong smell of cinnamon and expensive cologne fills your lungs. The twins roll their eyes and leave you with Kyoya. 

“Renge found a bigger size for you so I don’t have to give you my jacket to hide your body … again.” He practically throws the new pair of clothes at your face. 

“Renge found a bigger size or you did?” You chuckle as you stubble back from that surprise attack.

“Renge.” He turns around leaving you and your new blue jacket and leggings in your hands. Yeah right. Renge has been too focused on her scene with Kyoya which is the one after yours to get you a new uniform. He definitely picked it out so your outfit didn’t hug your curves too tightly.

It was now ten in the morning and your first basketball scene with the twins is finally the one the Hollywood crew was filming. The scene was simple! Hikaru had only to fall once as he was about to shoot and you, well since Renge didn’t like your acting, you were stuck with small lines and you were sitting on the bench eager to see the twins play. Then Kaoru would yell at him for missing his shot and then bring you into this. 

Kyoya was standing next to Renge, her orders, and was watching the scene play out. The four other hosts were probably taking a break. It’s almost your turn to speak, better get ready!

“Well if you truly loved her you would’ve made that shot for her.” Hikaru yells at his brother pointing at you who’s on the bench acting as if you were about to cry. Renge definitely wrote the script, because no one would be moved by this stupid line.

“Please the both of you stop fighting! We still have a game to win!” You shout standing up from your seat. 

“If Hikaru doesn’t do it, I will!” Kaoru walks confidently over to you, that’s not in the script. He’s supposed to ask you who you love the most. The camera follows him until he stops in front of you and cups you face with both of his hands. “I’ve loved you forever y/n, I’ve loved you longer than Hikaru did and I will never stop loving you more everyday.” Tears are filling his eyes as he speaks. He’s a great actor! 

“Oh, Kaoru.” You say with sadness, yet with love. “I–” He doesn’t let you finish his sentence before he starts to lean in and carefully meet your lips. Your heart skipped a beat. Oh god! He was committed to that role, way more than you were. You pull away first before he can slip his tongue in your mouth.

“I can’t… I– I love Hikaru as much as I love you.” You say looking into his lustful eyes. The words were maybe empty, but his eyes told you that he wanted that kiss. You were in shock. You weren’t expecting him to do that, at all.

“CUT!” Renge’s voice echoes in the gym. “That was even better than what I wrote!” She squeals running towards you and your co-star.

“Is he still watching?” He whispers under his breath. “Kyoya.” You look over his shoulder and he’s nowhere to be found. You shake your head and he smirks to himself. What is he up to? 

“Even I believed it.” Hikaru chuckles. 

“Great job you three!” Renge comes over and inspect your new uniform. “It looks way better than the one I chose! Did you ask for another one?” She asks and you realize that you were right. He did pick it out for you, maybe he’s not so heartless as he pretends to be. Maybe, he too, tried to get to know you as well. Maybe he did try to make it work… in his own cold way.

Was Kaoru trying to make Kyoya jealous? Does he know about the two of you? 

“Hey Kaoru?” You ask him, but he’s already gone with his brother god knows where.

You should maybe apologize for that kiss, after all you were still engaged to Kyoya and future members of the Ootori family, you shouldn’t be kissing everyone even if it’s acting. You somewhat feel guilty, but for what? He said it himself that he couldn’t care what you think of him, he probably doesn’t even care about you. He tries in his own way to care, you guessed, but giving clothes won’t be enough and will never be enough for you two to become acquainted. You shouldn’t feel bad. Legally you are engaged to him, but otherwise, you’re your own woman. You were so lost in your head that everyone, even the camera crew, had left the gym, except for the basketball team. That kiss really scrambled your thoughts.

You quickly left the gym as well to find your club members. The next scene is when Haruhi gets bullied by Honey, you can’t miss that! You rush towards the garden where you believe it was where they were going to film it and crash into something… someone, someone who was tall and lean, just like your Kyoya. You fall on top of the person you just quite literally pushed to the ground and surse yourself under your breath. That damn cologne fills your lungs. 

“Kyoya! Are you hurt?” You ask in panic before realizing you were on top of him, faces inches from each other. 

“I’m fine, although you did run over me like a train.” His laugh was dry and unkind.

“I’m so sorry.” You apologize for bumping into him like a maniac. 

“Are you– okay?” He asks you gently, pushing you off of him. He stands up and offers you his hand which you take to help you stand up. 

“Yes.” You simply say. “You left at the end of my scene, where were–” It didn’t matter where he was. “Was it because Kaoru k–”

“If you’re going to kiss anyone, let it not be one of the hosts for all of our reputations sake. You wouldn’t want all of our names dirtied because of your actions, right?” Such cruel words coming from a pretty face.

“Excuse you?” Was all you could say. The anger was building inside of you, burning your insides, your every thought. How dare he?

“I couldn’t care less what you do with your body, but don’t drag the Ootori name in your mess.” His tone is serious and deadly as if it was poison. 

“It was for your fiancé's movie.” You snap. “Besides it wasn’t scripted, I was as shocked as you were.” You add bitterly. You spin around ready to leave him, but you stop. “I know you don’t like me, I don’t expect you to. To be honest I’m not sure I quite appreciate you either, but I felt bad about the kiss. Just so you know…” You finally leave him on the concrete. 

You don’t know where you’re going, you just need to leave the camera crew and everyone behind for a little while so you can calm yourself down. You couldn’t care about the movie now. You wanted to be left alone for a bit, hell, you even wanted to go back to your classes. You understand his harsh reaction, so that’s why it makes it worse… The realization that if the roles were swapped you wouldn’t want your family name to be dragged in a cheating rumor… You hate him! You hate that you can’t be angrier about the situation! You hate him and this stupid arranged marriage. A fucking joke that was. A farce that everyone seemed to be in it except you. If you could be a commoner, you wouldn’t care how you look every time you go out, you wouldn’t be preoccupied with taking on your family's business or being engaged at your age… 

Joining the Host Club was a bad idea, wanting to know him was a bad idea. 

“You’re crying…” A soft squeaky voice is heard not so far from you, Renge. You were? You wipe your face with your sleeves in an unladylike manner and excuse yourself to Renge for seeing you like this. “Are you okay?”

“Just a little frustrated.” You admit facing her. The warm afternoon breeze hits the both of you sending some petals of the garden in the air. “There’s this boy that I’m… I’m trying to like for the sake of our families and I might’ve pissed him off.” You start. “He said something that hurt my feelings, maybe more my ego than my feelings and I’m frustrated because I feel like I can’t be mad at him.” You mumble and she nods.

“Was it the kiss?” You nod. “Was it one of the basketball boys?” You shake your head. A spark in her eyes was shining as if she understood who it was. “My Kyoya?” She asks and you nod once more.

“My Kyoya.” You sigh. “I didn’t mind you clinging on to him all day if that makes you feel better.” You try to reassure her. 

“Still, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were engaged.” She’s a bit awkward about it. “I should’ve known he was, I guess I was a little delusional.” She adds and you refrain from agreeing with her. “If  it helps the both of you, I can delete the kiss in the advertisement. I realize that I’ve pushed you guys to do this and I’m sorry y/n. I put you and Kyoya in an unfortunate situation.”

“It’s fine Renge, I actually had fun today.” You give her an apologetic smile and so does she. “You were pushy, but I forgive you. Friends?” You ask her to hold out your hand for her to shake and she wraps her arms around you. You’re surprised that the girl who had a crush on your fiancé is hugging you with all of her strength. 

“Friends.” She confirms and you finally wrap your arms around her.

Renge is your first friend at Ouran Academy. You’re going to work on that part because you don’t know her well enough, but you’re glad you have someone in your corner to rely on. Friends. You like that idea nonetheless. You look behind her and you see Kyoya figure walking back from where he was. Was he going after you? Now you’re the one who’s delusional.

Revice, Episode 48!

Jesus Christ, it's been 47 episodes already... not counting the vast amount of side content, that's a good deal over a thousand minutes worth of demon stamping, compelling family drama, and really poor marketing on Bandai's part. Yeah, I see you collectors, and I realize and sympathize with how unpleasant Revice's merchandising has been to your wallets when it really shouldn't have been.

If I seem a little cranky, it's because I woke up at 6 am after accidentally having a good bit of this episode spoiled for me. ...and also my mattress is awful, but you don't need to worry too much about that.

Spoilers, I guess... Fun fact, this is phrase is a holdover from the ancient days where I used to provide commentary on Chuggaaconroy's EarthBound LP remake. It was mostly meant to be kinda ironic, since I was talking about a Let's Play of all things, but I've said it so much it kinda feels weird to go without it.

...anyways, yeah, let's go then.

-Goddamn.

-Hewwo Kagerou.

-Oh hell yeah, the Evil suit's back. ...I realize that's not a huge deal, but

-Oh shit, the credits. ...I think I'm gonna be cheered up a bit soon.

-Oh my god, they use the stamps as stamps! ...where the hell was that?

-I realize this isn't very new, shaking the Fullbottles gives you their properties for a short time, and the SB-555P Faiz Phone works as an actual phone, but as somebody who started with late Heisei, it's so weird to see the collectibles actually used for stuff other than powering weapons or transformations.

-Nothing good comes from malice, Karizaki.

-Oh wow, the Demons Driver's fucked.

-Yeah, I know I really shouldn't be surprised, but it's been such an important fixture of the show for so long, that it's kinda weird to see it in this state.

-Yeah, Daddy Issues really do be like that, Dai-chan. Thank God I don't know shit or care about my dad.

-Ikki continuing to fight even at the risk of his own mind.

-Yeah, really having to

-Hello Hikaru-kun. ...think I have one of those shirts, it's real comfy.

-"I have no plan! That's why we're making one!"

-"SHADDAP AND LOOK!"

-Hello, Hana-chan!

-"Ahhhh, that's cute~! What a little dingus~! ...Wait a fucking second."

-Holy crap, Hikaru's being useful!

-Oh, this is Masumi's house. ...I mean, it was pretty silly to assume that the Ushijimas legally owned it, but

-AAAAAAAH

-THAT'S NOT A MIRROR, THAT'S A DOOR!

-Guess Hana and Tamaki are doing alright. That's good.

-Then again, killing them might be a bit beneath George's ideal.

-Yeah, Ikki really do be buttin' in.

-And because of that, Tamaki became epic, HanaSaku became best ship, and Daiji went through an extremely turbulent character arc.

-Thank you Tamaki, very cool.

-:)

-...y'know, with the Demons Driver scrapped, I wonder how it gets repaired in time for the movie's place in the continuity.

-Burn that bridge when we get to it, I guess.

-Open Sus-ame.

-Yeah Hikaru, go get them tools.

-"WHOOOOOOOOOA!"

-Oh...

-That's the whole family.

-My heart

-Otou...san

-Okaa-san..

-Man

-Bath time

-"Please be there for my son, I am consumed by regret and sorrow and am about to die for my crimes against humanity."

-Japan's Greatest Busybody, ready to make George's problems his problems too.

-Man... the art of good overdubbing is something that often goes unappreciated, but wow...

Hiromi: Hey George, you wanna go out for dinner sometime? :) George: Ew, that's gay, I'm not gay. ...well, maybe I am, but not for you Hiromi. Hiromi: :(

-Wow, Hiromi's even dressed his best for this.

-Big man with a point to prove.

-Juuga's transformation fucks, btw. I really like how the Megalodon is actually magenta, that's a really cool detail.

-Oh, and Juuga being an artificial imitation of Kuuga? Really cool call-back to the G3 System in Agito.

-Aaaaaaaaaand... Fight!

-Daaaamn, Crush Genome Edge!

-Hot damn.

-Gotta show George his best, Ikki.

-I don't have a whole lot to say about the action, which is really good by the way, but I do wanna take a bit to talk about something interesting.

-George seeking to completely free himself from Masumi's control is a very interesting motivation... his obsession with the Riders is ironically only possible because of his dad and people like him. Shocker, Noah, the countless organizations like them, they all sought power for their own purposes, damn near all of them extremely selfish ones. And the Riders rose above that selfishness and their own personal tragedies to become heroes.

-That's where the Karizakis come in. Masumi formed his own organization. Combating the Deadmans and the corrupt Fenix is definitely a noble goal, but Masumi's logic and method for doing so are selfish. I have to ponder whether or not Masumi would be so willing to atone for his mistakes if he never had George. With how long he's been playing everybody on the field, how willing he is to dig through his son's garbage.

-And meanwhile, at Fenix, George indulged in his own vices. Sacrificing practicality for things he thought were cool with Revice, creating the TwoSiDriver and letting Kagerou steal it, willingly putting Hiromi in such danger without questioning why... even decades into the future, with the world in outright ruin, we see George holed up in his basement with all of his favorite Riders, tinkering away and hoping for the ultimate lucky break.

-It's just as Ikki's trying to drill into George's head. He really can't forget the good times he had with his Dad, no matter what. I'm sure Ikki is imagining, just as we are right now, what kind of even stronger non-demonic Rider would be created if the two could've truly become a family again.

-Actually, come to think of it, we don't have to imagine what that'd be like. Because we've seen Kamen Rider Century first hand. We met Ryunosuke and Hideo Momose in Beyond Generations, going through the almost exact same scenario. Evil science guy with a love for his family is involved in the creation of a Kamen Rider in the 20th century. He disappears after dealings with demons and turns up decades later in the future. The son has never truly moved on or accepted the loss of his relationship with his father, and understandably refuses to hear anything he has to say now out of a very understandable feeling. Thanks to Ikki's intervention, the two are willing to put aside their conflict for the sake of the world. Ikki murders the fuck out of the big evil scary demon monster, and the world is safe once again, please buy our toys.

-Where's the difference in their story that caused their vastly different endings, you ask? Well, if you ask me, what separated the Momoses from the Karizakis was their willingness and opportunity to communicate. Having a kid of his own had to have put things in perspective for Hideo, and Ryunosuke being so openly happy to see his son again would've made things go a lot smoother. Meanwhile George and Masumi treat each other very aloofly, not unjustifiably on George's part to be clear, and so they were very unwilling to meet in a way that didn't involve the Igarashis or Weekend in some way. I think the biggest difference between them though was time. Both runtime and in-universe time. The Momoses made up basically over the course of an afternoon because they recognized the necessity of working together thanks to the immediate threat of Diablo, but the Karizakis didn't have that epiphany. Giff took his sweet-ass time enacting his plans, and as such, the Karizakis were made to stew in their own failure.

-Side note, I find it very ironic that the Momoses were able to repair their familial bond thanks to the Karizakis' inventions.

-I apologize that was so long and rambling, I had a lot of thoughts and if I didn't get them out there, I'd be thinking about them all week. Call it retreading if you'd like, but I thought this contrast was very interesting.

-Anyways, enough about that, let's kick some ass!

-NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW! AKUMA NO SASAYAKI GA CALLING!

-"Ah dammit, Ikki's really goin' for it."

-"Well, whaddya gonna do?"

-C'mon George, you gotta hit harder!

-DEALING WITH THE DEVIL!

-Well, we won.

-Look at this, George.

-It's that really cool dinosaur you drew as a kid.

-And all your really cool prehistoric animal buddies, all of whom make up your Juuga Driver.

-There you go man, let it out.

-...I'd do the same thing if it were my mom, I won't lie.

-Oh... right...

-"Who are they?"

-Fuck, man.

-Literally lost everything but Vice.

-Oh fuck, Destream next episode! Finally!

-For the love of god, please end on a good note Revice, I'm beggin' ya on my hands and knees here.

Can I have a smut shot of kyoya tamaki hikaru and kaoru?? :3

Ahhh, my favorite boys. Yes, yes you can, anon :)

Tamaki Suoh

It was another Friday afternoon, meaning your boyfriend was still at Ouran Academy. He was hosting, as per usual, which left you waiting for him for hours. You practically flopped on the bed once you got back to Tamaki’s house, pulling out your laptop to watch Netflix to pass the time. You pick out a new movie called Only.

About an hour passes, and you hear a door squeak open from downstairs. Tamaki. You smiled to yourself, knowing your boyfriend would be up soon.

The bedroom door opened fairly quickly, your eyes darting to the handsome blonde in front of you. Although, he wasn’t being his usual cheerful and bubbly self.

“Hey, baby, how was your d—” you began to say softly, being cut off by Tamaki’s body colliding on your own. You wrap your arms around him as his head nuzzled into the space between your neck and left shoulder.

“Horrible,” he sighed solemnly. You ran your hands over his back.

“What happened?”

“Just… those shady twins,” he grumbled. “They embarrassed me in front of everyone today.”

“Aw, baby, I’m sorry,” you softly spoke. He then sat up, causing you to lean back against the headboard, “do you wanna talk about it?”

He shook his head.

“No, but thank you, my love.”

You two sat quietly for a few moments before a great idea popped into your head. You sat up slightly, putting your hand on Tamaki’s thigh.

“Why don’t I cheer you up?” you smirked as you saw Tamaki look down at your hand, a blush forming across his cheeks.

“I-uh—oh,” he stuttered as your hand moved up his leg and to his dress pants, your fingers toying with his belt.

“Shhh, baby... let me help you...”

“Um... oh, okay,” he mumbled.

Deciding not to tease him, you undid his belt and removed him from his pants. Taking him in your hand, you began to stroke his shaft. It wasn’t long before you felt him harden in your hand, making you smirk.

“Princess,” he groaned.

You gave him a coy look from underneath your lashes.

“Yes, daddy?” You questioned.

At that, his hips stuttered. You could tell his resolve was beginning to weaken. I just want him to relax, he’s had such a hard day.

“Fuck, tu es tout pour moi,” he groaned.

Oh, you thought. I have no idea what he’s saying, but it’s so sexy when he speaks French.

Giving a slight moan at the grumble of his voice, you began placing kittenish licks on his shaft. Teasingly, you ran your tongue along his ridge. Not long after, a hand found its way into your hair. Becoming impatient, Tamaki gave a gentle tug, encouraging you to take him into your mouth. Making eye contact with him once more, you take him all the way down to the base. From above you, you heard him release a deep groan.

“Fuck, my beautiful girl. Just like that.”

The rumble of his voice shot heat straight to your core. Filled with a new sense of determination, you began to bob your head up and down. His pleased whines and groans floating down to you did nothing but encourage you. You swirled your tongue around him, and, reflexively, his hips jerked. Tears welled in your eyes, and Tamaki began to panic. “I’m so sorry, baby. I didn’t mean to. Are you okay?” The worry in his voice made your heart melt. He is so sweet, you thought. Smiling at him comfortingly, you took him back into your mouth, sucking him with vigor. Soon, you felt him relax once more. It wasn’t long before the hand in your hair tightened, and you could tell he was nearing his release.

You doubled your efforts, desperate to make him come. He whined, muttering praises under his breath. His hips jerked, and you felt hot bursts of come fill your mouth. Swallowing, you rose on your knees to be face to face with Tamaki.

“How was that, daddy?” You asked coyly.

Panting, he gave a satisfied smile.

“Thank you, darling. I really needed that.”

“Of course baby,” you replied. “I hate seeing you upset.”

“Your turn?,” he questioned, looking a little hopeful.

You laughed. “No sweetheart, tonight was about you.”

He looked conflicted. “Are you sure, because I don’t mind, I swear. You know I love taking care of you.”

God, what a sweet boy. “Yes, I’m sure, honey,” you murmured with a lovesick smile.

He cupped your face and gave you a loving kiss.

“Je t'aime, angel,” he murmured with an adoring smile on his face.

Giggling, you replied: “Je t'aime, my prince.”

Kyoya Ootori

You sighed as you kicked off your heels at the door, it felt great to be home after a long night out with your friends, and now you just wanted to go to sleep with your loving boyfriend, Kyoya.

You quietly walk upstairs, just in case he is already asleep. Upon opening the door, you see the silhouette of Kyoya in front of the bright laptop screen.

“Goddamn it,” you heard him grumble under his breath, “how did he go over our budget again?”

Tamaki, you thought. You knew how reckless he could be with the Host Club’s money.

“Another budget issue?” You quietly asked, wrapping your arms across Kyoya’s shoulders.

He was still tense even at your touch.

“Yeah,” he muttered as his fingers were typing away at the keyboard, “the damn idiot went overboard yet again, and I’m the one who has to resolve the issue.”

“I mean, you could always sell more promotional items, right? I’m sure girls would love to pay for that.”

“Yes, but that means drawing money out of the school’s budget.

“Oh... right.”

He sighed out of frustration and slammed his laptop shut, turning his chair in order to look at you. You were still in your tight, low V-necked dress. He ran his hands down your sides until they landed on your waist.

“Well, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes? Where did you head off to?”

You blushed slightly. Kyoya didn’t normally show much affection, but when he did, it had a huge effect on you.

“Didn’t I tell you I went out with some friends? We went to this new club downtown to dance.”

He bit his lip, his grip on your waist tightening slightly as he guided you to sit on his lap, faces just inches apart.

“So, you’re telling me other people saw you like this? I thought that body was only to be shown off to me, Y/N...”

You blushed. “I’m sorry, sir.”

“Hmmm, I think it’s time I showed you who you belong to.”

His deep voice had your knees weakening.

“What, what do you mean, sir?” You nervously replied.

Instead of responding, you felt his large and warm hand settle on your upper thigh.

“O-oh,” you stuttered.

“Sh, baby. I’m taking what’s mine.”

His hand spread your legs and lifted up your dress. He teased your inner thighs with his fingers, and then began rubbing circles on your clothed pussy. You gave a low moan, and he chuckled in response.

“Please sir.”

“Please what, babygirl. Use your words,” he smirked.

You whined, “sir, please. I need more.”

“Need more what? Come on baby, you can do better than that.”

Your resolve faded away, and you moaned. “More of you, sir. Please, give me your fingers.”

Kyoya chuckled once more. “I guess that can be arranged, baby girl.”

His fingers moved up your thigh and pulled your panties aside. You whined and wriggled your hips, desperate for some pressure. He moaned at your eagerness, and finally gave in, running his fingers up and down your slit. You groaned and pushed yourself down against him. Sliding in a finger, he moaned at your wetness.

“Look at you, baby. So wet already. What would your friends think if they knew how much of a slut you are?”

You couldn’t help but moan at his words. His deep voice and dirty talk never failed to make you tremble. At your response, he began to finger you roughly in his frustration, causing you to cry out. You gripped the arms of the chair tightly, turning your knuckles white. He added another finger, and you moaned helplessly.

“That’s it, my little slut, moaning so prettily for me.” His voice had dropped an octave, and it made your thighs clench.

Determined to make you scream his name, he began to speed up his movements. You squealed in response, and pushed your hips down onto his hand. It wasn’t long before you felt yourself tighten around his fingers, and Kyoya gave a deep groan at the feeling.

“That’s it, baby. Come for me. Come for your daddy,” he murmured into your ear.

At his words, you gave one last loud moan and came, clenching his fingers tightly. As you came down from your high, Kyoya stroked you softly, helping you along.

When you finally came, you opened your eyes and met his beautiful ones. You cuddled into him, sighing softly.

“Oh, babygirl. Did you really think we were done?”

Hikaru Hitachiin

You had two hours before you had to pick up Hikaru, your boyfriend, from the airport. So, you decide to do what any normal girlfriend would do: send him some revealing pictures.

You quickly undress out of your T-shirt and sweatpants, and rush to your dresser. You pull out a red, lacy, strappy lingerie, which happened to be Hikaru’s favorite.

Once you put on some light makeup and do your hair, you pull out your phone to take a couple of photos. The picture you select to send to him, however, is a simple mirror shot  with your hand slightly in your underwear.

*Attachment: 1 Image*

You: I wish you were the one touching me ;)

About an hour passed, and by that time you had changed into proper clothes. You are walking out to your car when you hear your phone buzz.

Hikaru: Fucking hell Y/N, you better be ready for me.

You smirk, knowing you have him exactly where you want him.

You finally reach your destination, heading for the gate where his brother told you he would be. You sit down in a nearby row of chairs, browsing through your phone for a few minutes until a pair of feet come into your point of view. You look up to see none other than your boyfriend.

“Oh hey, babe, how was your flight?”

He looks flustered, a slight blush rising on his cheeks.

“My flight?!” He near-whispers, “we’ve got a bigger issue to worry about other than my flight!”

You chuckle, your eyes darting to his pants.

“Oh really? What is the bigger issue?”

He rolls his eyes before kneeling down to your level, whispering a little more quietly.

“Did you not see the issue? I had to take off my sweatshirt to cover myself during whole flight, and it was freezing on that plane!”

You look back down at your phone with a smirk on your face.

“Huh, I don’t know what you’re talking about,”

You say playfully.

He grabs your hand, quickly pulling you to your feet.

“Fine,” he starts pacing before he drags you along, “then I guess I have to show you what I’m talking about, yeah?”

You giggle as Hikaru mutters curses under his breath, looking around as if he was searching for some place to go.

“Finally! Christ!” he shouts, dragging you into a unisex bathroom and into one of the stalls.

A mischievous look settles on your face.

“Oh, Hikaru... a bathroom? We need to solve this issue in the bathroom?”  

He rolls his eyes.

“Yes, Y/N, you’re the one who caused the issue for me with that tease of a picture.”

“Uh huh,” you start, moving your hands to his waist as you toy with the elastic of his sweatpants, “I was only showing you how much I missed your touches, and now I want to pay that forward.”

One hand remains on Hikaru’s waist as the other makes its way to his face to cup his cheek. You pull him into a kiss, at which one point Hikaru nips your bottom lip in hopes for entrance. You happily oblige. Your left hand slowly makes its way under his sweatpants and into his boxers.

Taking him into your hand, you begin to expertly stroke his shaft, hearing him give a low moan at your motions. This encouraged you to speed up, making him putty in your hands.

After a few minutes, his groans grow louder and he begins to tense. Knowing he is about to come, you drop to your knees and take him into your mouth. With one last shout, he grabs your hair and comes into your mouth.

Swallowing, you look up at him. He gives you an amused glance.

“What? I was trying to contain the mess. We are in public after all.”

Kaoru Hitachiin

The bouncing of Kaoru’s leg definitely does not help him focus on the teacher in front of him. His mind is running a mile a minute due to the scandalous little rendezvous you and him shared last night. In fact, the memories are still clear in his mind as his fingers brush against his collarbone.

Flashback

“Hikaru,” Kaoru near-whispered, “keep still! I don’t want to fall!”

“I’m trying! Tell Y/N to hurry up and open the door, or else I’m gonna drop you. My shoulders can’t take this forever!”

Kaoru rolled his eyes as he hoisted himself up onto your balcony and peered into your room. You were brushing your hair when you suddenly saw your boyfriend’s reflection in your vanity’s mirror.

You rushed over to your sliding glass door, letting Kaoru in. You stifled a giggle as you two sat on the bed.

“Kaoru! When you texted me you were gonna come over, I didn’t think you actually meant it!”

“Well, I mean, your place is on the way,” he nervously replied.

You smiled at him adoringly. “The way? And where exactly were you headed at two in the morning?”

He gave an embarrassed cough, averting his eyes from yours. “I just really missed you, okay?”

You placed your hand on his, running your thumb back and forth across it.

“I missed you too, baby,” you murmured.

Kaoru’s cheeks tinted pink as he made eye contact with you once again. Your faces gradually moved closer, as if something was pushing you both.

Your lips finally interlocked, while Kaoru’s hands landed on your waist, pulling you closer. Your arms draped across his shoulders. Your tongue barely touched his bottom lip, begging for entrance, which you were granted. You felt Kaoru pull you close to his chest as he laid against the headboard. You giggled against his lips before you slowly pulled away.

He gave you a confused look, to which you replied with a smirk. Your lips went to the side of his neck, pressing soft kisses as you trailed down to his collarbone. Kaoru let out a hum, and you knew you found his sweet spot.

You took the skin in between your lips and gently sucked, hearing him softly moan at the touch. You took this opportunity to nip the area a couple of times, quickly running your tongue over it as your saliva relieved the pain.

End of Flashback

“Mr. Hitachiin, do we need to have a chat after class?”

Kaoru looks up and quickly shakes his head.

“No sir! All good here!”

3:00 comes quickly, and instead of heading to Music Room 3 as he normally does, Kaoru heads directly out of the doors of Ouran Academy.

The next thing he knows, he is at your front door, frantically knocking until you finally open it and let him inside.

“Kaoru? Aren’t you supposed to be—“

He cuts you off with his lips meeting yours, and almost immediately you feel his hands run through your hair. You feel him gently push you until your back is against the door.

“I’ve been thinking about this all day, sweetheart,” you hear him mumble under his breath. “I wanna try something if that’s okay with you?”

You quickly nod, knowing words would take too long to describe how much you want him.

And with that, Kaoru drops to his knees, giving you a smirk before lifting up your dress to your knees. You giggle softly as you feel his teeth pull at the elastic of your underwear, which slowly drop to your feet.

“You sure you’re okay with this Y/N?” You hear ask as his fingers begin to tease your inner thighs.

“Yes. Please, Kaoru. I need you.”

He doesn’t hesitate for much longer before his tongue licks a stripe up your pussy, making you shudder at his touch. He speeds up his movements as his fingers work circles on your clit, earning him a soft moan. This isn’t enough motivation for him though, so his tongue begins to fixate on your clit. His lips start to suck gently, and you can feel your orgasm coming quickly.

“K-Kaoru...I’m gonna...”

You hear him hum against your clit, the vibration shooting through you as your orgasm almost peaks.

You immediately hike up your dress with one hand, your eyes finally coming into view of the top of his head. The other hand gently grasps his auburn hair, to which Kaoru lets out a low moan. It isn’t long before you come, spilling your juices into Kaoru’s mouth. He looks up at you and licks his lips, but his face is quickly overtaken with a nervous look.

“D-did I do alright?”

You chuckle.

“Oh, you did more than alright.”

Chapter 5: AKA “OH MY GOD- YOU’RE THE GIRL WHO KILLED HER!” Ao getting called out and the other half is just Alexandra frowning due to the way the events are unfolding not according to whatever plan she is following. (I swear to god she frowns a lot In this chapter!)

So, some context:

In Chapter 4 Ryo discovers PB’s hideout in Kamihama’s prison (an abandoned architecture) and there she finds something that’s pretty vital to their plans: an Endless Mirrors labyrinth that they use to travel from their city to Kamihama easily (the Mirrors Story reveals that when a Mirror Witch familiar grows into a full fledged Witch copy of their master, their labyrinth is just an extension to the original Endless Mirrors! So that means that there are potentially many Mirror Witches in the same Endless Mirrors). Ryo takes some photos as evidence but on the way back she gets killed by Ao. Yuna ends up breaking the camera to spite the Union and protect their secret. BUT, Sakurako, Ikumi, and Hinano got an idea for a way to access the camera’s data (not sure on the specifics), and they find a series of photos that fit an underground map of tunnels beneath the prison! That means that Ryo did this genius thing where she made sure she took a picture of every turn she took while she was in the underground tunnels just so that they could retrace her steps! (They also found an emotional video Ryo recorded of herself that Ikumi got to watch)

Now KMU is ready to strike PB right in their hideout! They make a plan but Iroha, Felicia, and Ikumi have to stay behind since they each have a Kimochi stone, as to not risk losing them (since its seems that girls can now challenge bracelet holders and be transported to the final Kimochi labyrinth for a fight to take the stone).

The plan goes well: Tsuruno manages to go ahead of everyone and she gets near the target, but then Ao stands in her way. Ao acts all nonchalant when Tsuruno recognizes her as the girl who took Ryo’s life, this kind of upsets Tsuruno and she hits a nerve when she says something along the lines of ‘Don’t take lives as if it was a game’, at which Ao can only glare (shown above)

Tsuruno gets cornered by Ao before Kanagi swoops in and saves her. Tsuruno goes on ahead (she ends up fighting Juri, who was guarding the labyrinth itself, but no worries: Tsuruno is fine, just gets a bit scratched up but Iroha heals her later), while Kanagi decides she might as well find out what the hell is going on in Ao’s mind:

“So Midori-kun’s death was an accident”

Of course Ao starts flipping the hell out because her mind is getting read, Kanagi tells Ao that Ryo knew the risks (its like the difference between a soldier killing another soldier or a civilian). Ao questions why the hell is Kanagi comforting an enemy? To which Kanagi answers “No matter the reason, one person is dead. I’m a little angry too!!” after which she attacks Ao (I like that they didn’t make Kanagi ‘all-forgiving’, like, yes, now she knows that the one who took the life of her friend didn’t mean to, but she’s still angry, her friend is still dead. They also created an interesting connection between the two, where Kanagi notices how similar she and Ao are in the way they handle things, hoping not to hurt anyone).

Meanwhile, Iroha and Felicia are hanging out back home, naturally worried like hell. Iroha surprises Felicia when she agrees that they should go help the others, and they run into Ikumi outside. (I honestly can’t blame Iroha for taking that risk, last time she was too late and someone died, now that everybody, including Ui, is fighting in the enemy’s territory, of course she would want to be there). Back in the prison things start getting hairy, Rena and Kaede get cornered by Hikaru and some PB goons, Yachiyo gets trapped by Urara’s Yo-Yo and Yuna is ready to attack while Ui and Sana desperately try to stop them, Kanagi and Momoko are fighting Ao and Ranka before Sakuya lands a sneak attack. But then: an arrow hits Hikaru, Felicia crashes Urara’s hold, and Ikumi finds herself face to face with Ao (the reactions from those around them range from Ranka lamenting “Really... it's the worst match...” to Momoko trying to get Ikumi to calm down but the words don’t reach her).

Ikumi starts beating up Ao, who doesn’t even try to fight back. Ao blurs out “I needed to do it to make my ideal come true ...!” to which an even more upset Ikumi responds to with “Of course ... if necessary ...! You have the same eyes!” (to which I think she means that what Ao said reminds her of Ryo: someone who was willing to do anything achieve her ideals, like joining the Magius fully realizing she was being manipulated just to achieve her goals. So seeing Ryo reflected in the person who killed her has to be really upsetting, plus being told that Ryo’s death was just a means to an end). Ikumi is, by that point, emotionally unstable and upset, and she says “I don't think Ryo-chan wants it, but I do!” she’s considering killing Ao as revenge despite knowing Ryo wouldn’t want her to.

Ao finds herself in her subconscious alongside the Pearl Eye Kimochi she defeated, and when she goes back out, Ikumi admits she can’t bring herself to do it but Ao ends up using the Kimochi’s power in the form of an eye mask (like Iroha’s mouth mask from the Sapphire Lips Kimochi’s power) Ao goes berserk and after that everybody retreats.
