Josei Anime Gems: Romance & Life Beyond Shoujo

Hey fellow anime lovers! ✨ Time to venture beyond the high school hallways and first-love butterflies of shoujo into the more complex, messy, and utterly fascinating world of josei anime.

For those who don't know, josei targets adult women, usually 18-40, and explores the kind of relationships and life challenges that hit different when you've got some real-world experience under your belt. Think workplace romances, divorce, career struggles, and the complicated feelings that come with adult relationships.

I've been absolutely LIVING for these series lately, so I'm dropping my ultimate josei recommendations for when you need something that reflects the chaos of actual adulthood.

The God-Tier Josei Anime You Need In Your Life

Nana - Still the undisputed queen of josei anime. Two women named Nana with completely opposite personalities become roommates in Tokyo. One chases her musician boyfriend, the other is in a punk band. The relationships feel REAL - messy, passionate, sometimes toxic, and deeply human. The fashion alone is worth watching for (those early 2000s punk looks? ICONIC).

Paradise Kiss - By the same mangaka as Nana, this fashion-centered story follows Yukari as she gets pulled into the world of design students creating their brand "Paradise Kiss." The romance between Yukari and George is complicated, bittersweet, and refreshingly mature. Also, the animation is GORGEOUS.

Honey and Clover - Art college students navigating love, friendship, and finding their place in the world. The unrequited love storylines will absolutely wreck you, but in the best way. This show understands that sometimes love doesn't work out, and that's part of growing up.

Usagi Drop - A 30-year-old single man suddenly becomes the guardian of his grandfather's illegitimate 6-year-old daughter. This slice-of-life explores parenthood, sacrifice, and unconventional families with such tenderness. (Note: anime only - we don't talk about the manga ending in this house 💀)

Nodame Cantabile - A perfectionist classical music student meets an eccentric pianist who plays by ear. Their relationship develops naturally as they push each other to grow as musicians and people. The classical music performances are chef's kiss.

Why Josei Hits Different

What makes josei special is how it treats romance as just one part of a complex life. Characters have career ambitions, friendships, and personal growth arcs that exist independently of their love interests. The relationships feel lived-in and nuanced rather than idealized.

Also, can we talk about how josei characters are allowed to have gasp sexual desires without it being treated as scandalous? The frank approach to sexuality feels refreshing after shoujo's blushing and hand-holding (which I also love, don't get me wrong).

Lesser-Known Gems Worth Your Time

Chihayafuru - Technically seinen, but with strong josei elements. Competitive karuta (Japanese card game) becomes the backdrop for a story about passion, friendship, and subtle romance that develops over years.

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku - Office workers who are secretly massive geeks navigate dating while being their authentic selves. The main couple starts dating in the FIRST EPISODE and then works through actual relationship challenges!

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - A historical drama about Japanese storytelling performance art with some of the most complex character writing I've ever seen. The love triangle spans decades and examines how our choices echo through our lives.

Final Thoughts

If you're feeling like you've outgrown the high school romances that dominate seasonal anime, don't give up on animated romance altogether! Josei offers the emotional depth and complexity that comes with adult relationships.

What are your favorite josei series? Drop them in the notes! I'm always looking for more mature anime to add to my never-ending watchlist.

FLIGHT! Sky's Picnic Pickup

ATTACK ON: @zeddye

CHARACTER/S: Sky, Tink, Druffs, Cookie, Rosie, Goldie, Matisse, Professor Z, UnReone

STATE: Revenge - Mass Attack

WRITTEN ONE-SHOT FIC BELOW CUT

Crunch. Sweetness with a hint of tart flavor flows in. It's just nice to enjoy apples with friends... and biscuits... and juice..... yeah, no, I guess that's all there is to it. 

The hike up was hectic. Everycritter were focused more on making sure all is in one piece. Anything is possible in the wilderness. Like Goldie craving honey and encountering a tree filled with it. There's even a fight that involves a bear thingy with a moon on its forehead. Can't really blame anyone in particular for leaving behind the picnic baskets after the altercation...erherm Riri erherm.

Good thing Sky went to retrace their steps to pick it up. While waiting, Matisse has been picking up apples in the nearby grove. Just to have something to munch on. Professor Z is helping her out. She does not mind his rambling about the variety of apples in color, she's just glad to have company.

One of the recovered baskets sit idly behind Druffs. A pack of biscuits was opened. Tink swears that each shape have its own distinct flavor. Reone have found at least three four-leaf clover in her area, that's neat. Rosie is content with cloud watching as her friends chatter on. 

Her ear twitches. Flapping. Swooshing through the clouds, there's the iconic cockatiel flying through. Sky is definitely not flying ahead of the designated spot nuh uh. 

"Skyyy, over here!!!"

Ah she was definitely flying back there. It's not like Sky completely missed her friends and no critter have any proof otherwise. She picks up speed, the sound of her wings catching others' attention.

Swiftly, Sky gains altitude — her form a blur of white and yellow feathers. It's like a tiny whirlpool in the sky. A rush of wind hits her face, making her smile. She lets go of the picnic basket, plummeting into a possible mess. With a decisive twirl, she dives backwards, tailing behind as she spins midair. She caught the basket! Noises of awe plays from that sum of tricks. One could even call that bit awesum.

It's really cool she did that. It's extra cool that they can now begin their picnic.

[nekojirou]

I made a playlist of songs I dedicated to, and was dedicated to me when I first fell inlove. I can't find the song "Dedication" by Thomas Howard Lichtenstein but it's the one I love so much. The icon is Takumi Mayama from Honey and Clover because he was my boyfriend's favorite character from that show (while I love his rival, Takumi Nomiya)

[ukelicious]

i wrote my own reasons why i think these were picked if you need to be able to compare them:

momoi tarou: i have never made a joke ever, in my life. what else is there to say, really.

hongo: you don't get to 1000 instances of a character's name in you dms without projecting a little bit. my brain is huge and sexy and it makes me nervous for no reason sometimes. eldest daughter (male). i could use a funky little artsy catboy in my life

cecil but in reverse (he kins me):

spock star trek: there was a period of 6-8 months back when i was 19 where i didn't experience a single emotion and i joke frequently about wishing i could go back. i think could appreciate having no emotions correctly this time

mac iasip: gay gym bro i think this one's self explanatory. i have a bird tattoo on my shoulder. i cosplayed nightman once

ren tatap: not to be confused with ren persona 5 who i do not kin. joking about this fic is why i started kamen rider in the first place. i asked the boys what their pick for quote to put in this section was and their unanimous answer was

to which my response was

wallace wells: he's my discord icon and every time someone has learned this fact their response has been: "oh yeah, that makes sense."

maito gai: besides the jock thing? terribly faceblind. i have a rival i fight with constantly (it's not a gay thing tho. we are gay just not for each other this is pure hate). i do have ride or dies i would open the 8th gate for

shuji hanamoto: he's in my bio. i run an aesthetic tag for the man. uhh he means the world to me i cannot describe what honey and clover is to me but i can describe him as a person as: gay boy down horrendous

Take comfort in St. Patrick’s Day fare Enjoy a taste of Ireland to celebrate the holiday.

Irish Soda Bread: A cross is cut into the top to help it rise and, according to Irish folklore, to either ward off evil or let the fairies out. (Photo: Parragon Books)

Link to column in newspaper Take comfort in St. Patrick's Day fare

It was about a month ago that I saw the first sign of Saint Patrick’s Day; and what was that sign … a beautiful round Irish soda bread with a deep cross on the top of its’ crust. I enjoy the variation that is dotted throughout with caraway seeds and raisins.

A few days ago, I saw a sign in a bagel bakery requesting customers to place their order for green bagels. Later that day, I noticed all the celebratory items with hues of emerald green at the dollar store: hats, leprechauns, four leaf clovers and all that fun stuff worn at a St. Patrick’s Day party or parade.

So, I thought it was time to write a column about Monday’s event celebrating culture and history that has religious origins, although it has become a secular event.

Did you know:

• Philadelphia’s parade is one of the oldest in the United States, established in 1771. This year it is today at 11 a.m.

• New York City’s first parade: 1762

• Boston’s first parade: 1737

• Montreal’s first parade:1824

• The first parade in Ireland was in 1903, years after the first one in North America

• The real St. Patrick was born in Britain

• Corned beef and cabbage were first introduced in the U.S.

• There are more people with Irish ancestry in the U.S. than in Ireland. Most with Irish ancestry in the U.S. live in New England.

• According to U.S. News and World Report, https://bit.ly/4bmiHr0 , a study done by the National Retail Federation showed 62% of the U.S. population planned to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in 2024, despite only 9% of Americans claiming Irish ancestry.

The Irish pubs I have passed have banners in their windows, promoting their St. Patrick’s Day specials. It is probably the busiest day for them each year.

When I go to an Irish pub, I don’t think beer and spirits, I think of homemade comfort food, served in a cozy and comfortable setting.

Pubs in Ireland are the cornerstone of their communities, relaxed places where locals and visitors can experience the best of traditional Irish hospitality. The same holds true in the U.S.

Many pubs have become the place to go for a great meal, with a choice of both traditional and contemporary dishes. In recent years, Irish cooking has been transformed, with skillful cooks and chefs making the most of wonderful, fresh, local produce to create delicious new dishes and giving a twist to the classics.

Home cooks, too, have put their twist on Irish cuisine. Years ago, I had the opportunity to attend the Pillsbury Bake-Off as a media representative. This iconic cooking competition for home cooks reveals unimaginable creativity. I have every Bake-Off booklet that was published after each event.

Perusing them, I found the winning recipe from the 49th Pillsbury Bake-Off. Melissa Jollands of Hudsonville, Mich., is perfect to mention here, since it was inspired by her trip to Dublin.

While there, she fell in love with the large spread of flavorful cheese and meat boards, served alongside the contrasting flavors and textures of dried fruit and warm bread.

In developing her winning recipe, she said: “I saw Pillsbury’s refrigerated French bread on the list of eligible Bake-Off products and began to think about baking the creamy honey goat cheese, Irish white cheddar, and flavorful salami inside, and how it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce the flavorful cheeseboard cuisine into my own family recipe, while revisiting those exceptional flavors and memories from Dublin.”

The recipe for her pub-style Dublin Cheeseboard-Stuffed Appetizer Bread can be found at https://bit.ly/3aBujG7.

Of course, corned beef and cabbage, Irish stew and Irish soda bread are the classics for a St. Patrick’s Day meal. It was interesting to learn that corned beef and cabbage is not usually eaten in Ireland, it’s an American tradition.

To help take your celebration meal up a notch, pick up a copy of “The Complete Irish Pub Cookbook: The Best of Traditional and Contemporary Irish Cooking” (2018, Parragon Books, $9.99). It provides the best of both worlds, with best-loved favorites and contemporary Irish recipes. Here are a few.

Cockle and Mussel Gratin

The headnote says: “Cockles and mussels have always been popular in Irish coastal communities. They could be collected from the shore instead of risking the potential peril of a boat. In this recipe, the two are cooked in a rich and tasty gratin. The crisp topping provides contrasting texture and flavor to the seafood below. If you can’t find cockles, use small clams instead.”

Serves 3-4

Ingredients:

1 3/4 pounds pounds mussels

1⁄2 cup water

1⁄2 cup (1 stick) lightly salted butter

2 onions, chopped

1 1/4 cups cooked shelled cockles

Juice and finely grated zest of 1⁄2 lemon

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Salt and pepper

1 cup coarse bread crumbs from a day-old ciabatta loaf

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Scrub and beard the mussels, discarding any with broken shells or that remain open. Put in a large saucepan with the water. Cover and steam for 4–5 minutes, until the shells open. Discard any that remain closed. Reserve eight mussels in their shells as a garnish. Remove the rest from the shells.

Melt half of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté for 7 minutes, until soft but not colored. Transfer to a 2-quart gratin dish.

Add the cockles, shelled mussels, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Season with salt and pepper and stir to mix.

Set aside a pat of butter and melt the remaining butter. Mix with the bread crumbs, garlic, lemon zest, and remaining parsley. Season with a little more salt and pepper.

Spread the bread-crumb mixture over the seafood. Top with the reserved mussels and dot them with the remaining butter.

Bake in the oven for 10–15 minutes, until the crumbs are golden and crisp and the seafood is thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.

Beef in Stout With Herb Dumplings

The headnote says: “Stout is a strong, dark beer that originated in the British Isles. The most famous Irish stout is Guinness, which is made from roasted, malted barley, hops, yeast, and water. In this hearty stew, topped with light and fluffy suet dumplings, tender chunks of slow-cooked beef are enveloped in a rich gravy.”

Serves 6

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons sunflower oil

2 large onions, thinly sliced

8 carrots, sliced

1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour

2 3/4 pounds chuck short ribs or center cut beef shanks, cut into cubes

2 cups stout

2 teaspoons firmly packed dark brown sugar

2 bay leaves

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Salt and pepper

Herb Dumplings:

1 cup all-purpose flour

11⁄2 teaspoons baking powder

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 cup shredded suet (available from butchers) or shortening

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus extra to garnish

About 1⁄4 cup water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish. Add the onions and carrots and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the onions are softened. Meanwhile, put the flour in a plastic bag and season well with salt and pepper. Add the beef to the bag, tie the top, and shake well to coat. Do this in batches if necessary. Reserve any remaining seasoned flour.

Remove the onions and carrots from the casserole dish with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the beef to the dish, in batches, and cook, stirring frequently, until browned all over. Return all the meat and the onions and carrots to the casserole dish and sprinkle in the reserved seasoned flour. Pour in the stout and add the sugar, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook in the preheated oven for 13⁄4 hours.

To make the herb dumplings, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Stir in the suet and parsley and add enough of the water to make a soft dough. Shape into small balls between the palms of your hands. Add to the casserole dish and return to the oven for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Serve immediately, sprinkled with parsley.

Irish Cream Cheesecake

The headnote says: “This is an unbaked cheesecake and, although it contains no gelatin, its high chocolate content guarantees that it sets perfectly. It is a luxurious dessert that is made even more special by the addition of Irish Cream, a popular liqueur made from Irish whiskey, coffee, and cream.”

Serves 8

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil, for oiling

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate chip cookies

Crème fraîche or whipped cream and fresh strawberries, to serve

Filling:

8 ounces semisweet dark chocolate, broken into pieces

8 ounces milk chocolate, broken into pieces

1⁄4 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups cream cheese

2 cups heavy cream, lightly whipped

3 tablespoons Irish Cream liqueur

Directions:

Line the bottom of an 8-inch round springform cake pan with parchment paper and brush the sides with oil. Put the butter in a saucepan and heat gently until melted. Stir in the crushed cookies. Press into the bottom of the prepared cake pan and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

To make the filling, put the dark and milk chocolates into a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water until melted. Let cool. Put the sugar and cream cheese in a bowl and beat together until smooth, then fold in the cream. Fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, then stir in the liqueur.

Spoon into the cake pan and smooth the surface. Let chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until firm. Transfer to a serving plate and cut into slices. Serve with crème fraîche and strawberries.

Rallying cry for LGBTQIA+ freedom at 47th Mardi Gras Parade

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/rallying-cry-for-lgbtqia-freedom-at-47th-mardi-gras-parade/

Rallying cry for LGBTQIA+ freedom at 47th Mardi Gras Parade

The 47th annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade took over the streets of Sydney on Saturday night with rallying cries of LGBTQIA+ pride, protest and freedom.

An estimated 200,000 spectators cheered from the sidelines as over 10,000 marchers across 180 floats took to the streets.

Organisers said this year’s “Free To Be” theme was an all-important reminder that the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights is far from over.

Mardi Gras CEO Gil Beckwith said, “Mardi Gras is a celebration, a protest, and a love letter to our community all at once.

“The 2025 festival embodied ‘Free To Be’ — a statement that we are here, we are proud, and we are shaping the future with every step we take.”

‘We have to support our trans family’

Ahead of the Parade, Mardi Gras board co-chair Brandon Bear also issued a rallying call for trans allyship.

“The global stage at the moment is now frightening, erasure of our communities is happening – there is no doubt about that,” Brandon said.

“Now more than ever we have to galvanise, we have to support our trans family, we have to work to stamp out racism in our communities, we have to show up.

“If we lose focus, we lose our rights.”

Image: Georgia Jane Griffiths

The Dykes on Bikes led the Parade, roaring down Oxford Street, followed by the First Nations and 78ers floats, honouring Mardi Gras history.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined the Mardi Gras Parade for the third time as Australian leader.

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore, NSW Independent Alex Greenwich, Greens MPs Adam Bandt and Mehreen Faruqi as well as federal independents Allegra Spender, Zali Steggall and Senator Lidia Thorpe were also among the politicians joined the Parade.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb joined a contingent of the state’s police officers. They marched wearing a rainbow themed police polo, following controversy over the force’s participation in the parade.

Troye Sivan appeared at Mardi Gras Party

As the last floats made their way to the end of the Parade route, thousands of revellers kicked on at the Mardi Gras Party. The hours-long after-party took over six venues at Moore Park until dawn.

The lineup included UK singers Romy and Hayla and US DJ Honey Dijon. US DJ and producer Leland brought out Aussie pop icon Troye Sivan during his set at the Forecourt.

First time I saw the octo trio my first thought was “god damn it of course they're hot”

That being said could you do the octo trio reacting to their crush saying that (just you're instead of they're) the first time they're properly introduced/meet?

basically- me@/trey-

"Too good of a first impression" (Octavinelle)

Azul Ashengrotto

Was it the wavy curls of his hair and charismatic poise, or his charming smile and perfectly framed words that fall out of his lips so smoothly and a calm ocean's wave that made you instantly swoon?

Honestly, it's probably all of the above-

"Why good afternoon, s/o. Welcome to the humble lounge of Octavinelle~"

"H-holy crap, you're the most beautiful man I've ever met," you gasped in awe as you looked at Azul as if he was some sort of god.

Holy shit was Azul caught off guard so badly that he almost choked.

The twins were sure gonna tease him non stop once you leave, but-

oh my god- he was so caught of guard that he spent the rest of his day just thinking about it while blushing hard.

He was so embarrassed, but at the same time really proud that you thought he was- you know- h o t-

Maybe... maybe it wouldn't be so bad to just... talk to you and get closer to you. I mean, you already had a good first impression of him right? Maybe too good... <3

Jade Leech

Oya oya?~

How amusing~

Was it the way he presented himself towards you and that charismatic smile of his? The way his mismatched eyes glint with such enigma? Or maybe his deep and smooth his voice can be when he flashes a grin with pointy, jagged teeth?

Maybe all the reasons? Probably-

"Why, if it isn't the s/o we keep hearing about. Any honor to have you at Monstro Lounge," he smiles.

"O-oh my god... you're so hot..."

He blinks. My oh my~ how straightforward~

Jade was pretty caught off guard by your response, and he has much of a good impression on you as much as you have on him. A pretty funny one, too.

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to get to know you more, no? Maybe he'd find you... "hot". Fufufu~ He's only teasing~

He found you endearing- <3

Floyd Leech

I mean, he's cute and hot at the same time- I get you-

Floyd, in his own way, has his own charms. His carefree yet captivating grin, his jagged jaws that gleamed white, his droopy mismatched eyes that somehow made him endearing and beautiful, his iconic laugh... who could blame you?

"Ehehehe~ So this is the magicless student? You're so tiny like a little shrimpy~"

You stared at him, mouth open subconsciously. "You're so cute, but you're so hot-"

Hello! I was wondering; for Twisted Wonderland, the Dorm Leaders (and maybe the Freshman/ Vice Dorm Leaders) react to MC gifting them a huggle, please? I know that since Spring is coming, the time to be wearing huggles will soon come to an end 😞, but this is just came to me. Plus, huggles are so nice and comfy.

Thank you!

I do fluff ^^

The Huggles (TWST)

Riddle Rosehearts

He secretly loves snuggles but won’t say it out loud. Though it’s clearly evident from his blushing face and the way he buries his face in your neck while wrapping the blanket even tighter to engulf both of you in warmth! Oh, and let him be a big spoon for you <3

Trey Clover

I wanna huggle too- I MEAN WHAT- Ò///Ó Trey finds relaxation and comfort in cuddling with you, as if you are his sacred sanctum he much rather relish and praise by himself. He loves to kiss your hair and forehead and just sit there in comfortable silence, maybe lazily asking you how your day was as he smiles at how adorable you are <3

Cater Diamond

Cater loves to kiss you nonstop and just cuddle and share with you how he’s feeling, how his day was, show you pictures he took and pepper you with sweet, chaste kisses again. He may or may not have taken photos of you when you fall asleep while huggling you. Look, he just can’t help it you look adorable! <3

Deuce Spade

Absolutely flustered, but he absolutely loves it. He’s a bit awkward when he huggles you but soon melts into your warmth and snuggle with you all the way. He loves huddling a blanket around the both of you as he tucks his chin above your head as he shyly kisses your head <3

Ace Trappola

Brat >:// Ace is pretty smug about you wanting to snuggle with him, but inside he’s overjoyed and eagerly wants to do so with you, seeing how he immediately wraps the blanket around you and lay on top of your head. Sometimes he prefers to have you be the big spoon as he lays on your chest, smiling teasingly but lovingly at you <3

Leona Kingscholar

He snuggles with you all the time, what are you talking about? It’s his favourite thing to do besides napping. His most favourite is doing both, lazily laying an arm around you before pulling you close into his chest <3

Ruggie Bucchi

He would rather much let you be the big spoon and have you spoil him. To be fair, Ruggie is already pretty exhausted and he feels he deserves some huggles with his s/o. He wouldn’t mind being a big spoon, he just want to be right next to you <3

Jack Howl

He’s always the big spoon, but gets flustered if you want him as the small spoon but he’s not against it. He loves having your back laid against his chest. It makes him feel like he can protect you from anything <3

Azul Ashengrotto

Tries to be the big spoon, but he fails honestly. He needs to be the small spoon for his own good. He’s so tired, and he just looks forward to receive your huggles. Azul prefers you to huggle him indoors, because if the Leech twins were to find out, it’ll be the death of him… ah well now give him some huggles <3

Jade Leech

It’s quite surprising seeing the gentleman and subtle eel to be very cuddly with you behind close doors, but even so he gently strokes your hair and kisses your face softly with a peck on the lips, whispering how much he loves you as you doze off <3

Floyd Leech

He’s always giving huggles to you in public, in his room, just everywhere when he feels like it. He enjoys it very much and would whine if you don’t return him back the same snuggle action. When he’s moody, he remains silent but immediately shifts closer to your neck and drifts off to dreamland, dreaming of snuggling with you more <3

Kalim Al Asim

He loves huggles! He especially loves huggling you on his flying carpet, wrapping the both of you with a blanket as you stare into the night sky, the blanket of stars twinkling like celestial diamonds. He peppers you in light kisses before giggling about how much he loves you <3

Jamil Viper

Jamil won’t admit it, but he really loves receiving huggles. For someone who wants to be spoilt, he treasures moments of you and him snuggling in the comfort of his room, stuffing his face in the crook of your neck as he hugs you tighter, whispering a soft praise of how much he loves you <3

Hello, Honey! May I request HCs of the Vice Dorm Leaders (Minus Ortho because he baby) (Separately) with their crush [Gender Neutral] (Romantic) who came up to them while yelling out, “Hey (Fav Vice Dorm Leader)! Trust-fall!” Then proceed to turn their back at them and fall back. If they were able to catch [Reader], they’ll confess, “I guess I fell for you~” It’s a love confession, in a unique way. How would they react and are they quick enough to catch their favorite person?

(If it’s too many people to squeeze in, it’s okay to write with Trey, Jade, and Lilia.)

Hmmm- niceee- @sanctum-of-ramshackle UwU

Trey, Jade, ROOK- and Lilia :)))

TWST s/o's trust fall flirt

Trey Clover

It was so sudden-

"Honey- Trey! Trust fall!" you called out to him, as you proceed to fall backwards.

HOLY SHI-

Trey can run, but he's never run so fast in such speed before-

Of course, he successfully catches you before you could even touch the ground.

"S/o! That was dangerous! You could've seriously hurt yourself!" he chides worriedly, helping you get back up on your two feet as he places his two hands on your shoulders, checking and making sure you were okay.

You only smile lovingly at him, replying oh so casually, "I guess I fell for you~"

*Trey Clover.exe has stopped working*

Oh my god...

S/o...

Don't make him drop you down by accident- You seriously caught him off guard, making him blush by the sudden confession.

He seriously needs to keep an eye on you, in a good way (i think???) <3

ARGHHHHH- FCKING LOVE YOUUBDGDHJGDGDJD-

Jade Leech

Again, sudden, but he was just surprised.

"Jade! Trust fall!"

I mean, obviously he cares for you, so expect him to brisk walk his way there (which is so easy since he has some LONG ASS LEGS THIS SEXY EEL- OF COURSE HE CAN MAKE IT- literally taking one step that covers like- 50 OF MINE-) and catches you.

"S/o, what's with the sudden action?" he smiles in amusement, genuinely curious about your antiques.

You look up to him, smiling a little giddily. "Guess I fell for you~"

Hm?

Oh.

Oh.

hello this my first time requesting so please bare with me, can I request twisted wonderland dorm leaders reacts to smol, shy s/o going around asking for more pillows and big blankets, the boys getting curious so one day, they went to their room to ask why are they borrowing so much just to see them all wrapped up in blankets, surround by pillows and plushies (just like a nest), when s/o notice the dorm leaders, they get really flustered and buried themselves deeper in their nest, avoiding eye contact because they think its embarrassing and childish. sorry if I'm asking to much, feel free to ignore it if you don't like this

Requests aren’t open, but I feel like I haven’t been writing a lot and I want to but I can’t and also because this is me except for the shy part, I’ll feral gremlin them and say I have conquered their room-

also I’m adding in the vice dorm leaders (and I was too lazy to do Ortho my child and my peepaw Lilia- I’m sorry sweeties)

TWST s/o wrapped in their “pillow nest”

Riddle Rosehearts

Well- this is- unexpected-

After lending you his pillows and blanket, he sees you wrapped in an abundance of plush just moments after he left and now has returned.

Being caught, you blushed in a frenzy, before retreating to your little burrow.

“R-Rose?!” Riddle called out to you, peeping into the hole as you looked up at him timidly.

“I- well… I didn’t expect to see you like this… what are you trying to do?”

“U-um… sorry, Riddle… I didn’t mean to do this in the middle of your bed… I- I just always do this for fun… you probably think I’m childish…”

Riddle simply chuckled softly. “Childish wouldn’t be right… I think you’re rather endearing, no? I don’t mind,” he smiles, “Though… do I sleep in there?” <3

Trey Clover

I would take over his bed and assert my dominance- and then cuddle- I mean what-

Trey would just blink, wondering if the huge pile of pillows and blankets were all just in his head after being skewered by all the work he had to do.

How in the world did this happen..?

Just then, you popped out in the middle, suddenly meeting mustard gold orbs staring right back at you. You squeaked, a blush spreading across your face before you snuck your head out of sight, startling the green haired man.

“Huh?? S/o??” he peered inside, you peeped out from the side of the hole, looking at your boyfriend with a guilty look. “Sorry Trey… I- I just got bored…” you looked away shyly.

His eyes softened as he let out a lighthearted chuckle. “Bored, huh? Well, I don’t mind if I have to sleep in there with you, I guess~” <3

Leona Kingscholar

What the heck…

His bed, his lofty bed, with a huge pile of his blankets and pillows all in the centre. Just great.

“I swear, did Ruggie that little runt just dumped all this pile on m-”

You popped out from the hole to your den, after hearing someone has gone in. Leona rubbed his eyes as his tail flicked as if baffled. Yeah he was-

“Eep!” you squealed, blushing as you retreated to hiding beneath the softness of your huge den of pillows.

Leone sighed, pouting.

He didn’t care to ask what you were doing, skilfully and swiftly crawling into the hole (somehow), landing with a soft ”thud” as he wrapped your arms around you.

“L-L-Leona?!”

“Hush, Herbivore. You did this to yourself, now I’m sleeping here.” <3

My #1 post of 2022

“Am I being bested by a plush loaf?” TWST Jealous of their Tsum Tsum

I did it for the SSR and SR of the Tsum event! ^^

Cater Diamond

Hey!!!!!~~

Cater slightly frowns, noticing how much attention you’ve been giving to his Tsum counterpart. He’s also here, too!

Ever since he snapped so many photos of his own Tsum with you, it has become more apparent that this little Tsum also has something up his stubby little sleeves.

Like how it whips out its own tiny phone and take pictures of you and it together. That’s also what you two do!

When Cater tries to take a selfie with you, you ALWAYS have to have Tsum Cater in the picture, and he couldn’t say no after seeing those puppy dog eyes, and fear of how dejected they would look if he just rejected the idea, but he just wants the photo to have the two of you in it!

He won’t be so overly dramatic about it, he’ll mostly pout and whine a little about how you’re spending way more time with the Tsum rather than him, and that he misses taking photos with just the two of you.

Just kiss him in that selfie alone to make it up is all he asks for. <3

Riddle Rosehearts

He denies ever being jealous of the squishy creature, but when you aren’t looking, he’s secretly lamenting about how you’re spending more tea time with this thing.

Riddle looks like he always wants to say something about the situation, but ends up sweeping the question away and excuse himself, mainly because he doesn’t know how to bring it up.

He’s irritated and a bit sour about the fact you seem to fawn over the thing, but he doesn’t want to be seen as… overbearing or just, well, jealous.

Eventually, all his self control and resisting crumbled when you began feeding it (somehow), just like what you do with him.

He strides towards you, as you curiously tilted your head to why he looked upset. Then you saw it. That cute frown and pout as he bore his frustrated glare into your eyes. “Rose… I… I want to be fed as well, and I rather have you spend time with me, too…”

Now kiss him as apologies. <3

Leona Kingscholar

Noticeably irritated by the adorable creature.

He quietly growls in slight detest of how you basically stuff your face into it, cuddling with it as it selfishly relishes in your warming affection. If it’s anyone who’s going to be cuddled by you is himself. The real deal.

Leona watched from afar, already disliking the fact this Tsum could do whatever it wants, and just take all your attention away from him. What’s worse is that it seems to know that it was bothering Leona, and it purposefully directs you away from him, getting more on Leona's nerve.

Well, now he's gotta show face and put it in its place, right?

He stood up, making a power walk to your direction as he lightly holds the Tsum away from you, lying down with his chest facing your front as he holds you in a tight embrace, forcing the Leona Tsum to hug your back.

"You had plenty of attention, little prick. It's my turn now." <3

Floyd Leech

He knows when he let even one finger off of it, the Floyd Tsum like a leech would tightly cling onto anyone it can go near to.

However, Floyd didn’t account to the fact that this little creature would have you as its favourite person to squeeze, cling and cuddle.

Floyd gets irritated, like Leona, of how attention seeking his plush counterpart is; constantly asking for cuddles, smudging your face with its soft little cheeks as it squirms closely into your hold.

He gets moody about this, especially. It’s reflected on the way he works sloppily in Monstro Lounge, much to Azul’s dismay, and Azul had to tell you about it in hopes you could do something about it.

Coming to meet Floyd, you’re met with a pouty eel lazily glaring at the Tsum.

[ukelicious]

okay i totally jsut realized i jumped back into using this site like i didnt delete my entire old blog. so. you might be asking: "julia who the fuck are hanamoto and fujimaru and why do you keep tagging posts as them" they are two of my favorite characters for two totally different reasons and i would do anything for them

this is going to get long. fair warning. i'm just gotta put a cut

fujimaru is fujimaru takagi from bloody monday. i dont recommend you read bloody monday i'm just irrationally attached to the series because it got me through a time. i literally only have these pics of him and otoya for some reason but fujimaru's the one with the dark hair

he's my worst son and i would do anything for him. he's a hacker and the series has some of the funniest scenes where he ends up teaming up with a counterterrorism unit called Third I and all his companions are in a circle kicking peoples asses around fujimaru who is hunched over a laptop furiously typing like "5 more minutes guys, i got this!!" he's a weak little shithead nerd and i woudn't have it any other way. i have a tattoo of a falcon as a long joke about this guy (also because falcons rule). he's not my first bird aligned fave but he's sure up there on characters that impacted me. i totally didnt realize how many emotions i still have about this guy until i started writing this part of this post. if i reread bloody monday i'm sorry (i'm not sorry) it's the residual fujimaru in my brain.

one time i think in bm2 he blew up a whole room by scattering a bunch of flour in the air, turned directly to the camera, and said "the internet can teach you anything!" he is a menace to society.

bloody monday 1 is good, bloody monday 2 is okay, i do not talk about bloody monday last season. the drama adaptions are, to my recollection, fine! but also i last watched them about 10 years ago so take that with a grain of salt.

fun fact, the guy who plays otoya in the bloody monday drama(s) is the same guy who plays den-o. i haven't seen den-o but its just another one of the "the descent into toku was prophesized" moments like me being obsessed with okkusenman as a kid.

i would say i think otoya and fujimaru should kiss but i think fujimaru doesn't deserve otoya. otoya is too good for him.

hanamoto is shuji hanamoto from honey & clover. he is my UM UM UM HE'S MY UH HE;S WHEN when you um when you feel what dyou he's uhhhh him. he's he. he's the guy in my icon :)

shuji hanamoto makes me feel every emotion known to man. i dont know what the juice is that was put in him that makes him so poppin. a couple years back i was chatting with a friend at the time about the series and we were like "yeah the beauty of honey and clover is that each time you read it you relate with a different character more" which is absolutely true but also 100% the bitch of all time has to be hanamoto for me. i started reading this series in shojo beat magazine back in middle school to give perspective on how long this man has haunted me.

should i get into hanamoto gay theory? i think i should get into hanamoto gay theory. mostly because i can't recommend the series knowing the ending unless i tell you about (and make sure you're also subscribed to) hanamoto gay theory. hanamoto is blatantly in love with his old (dead) college buddy harada and it hurts me to my core. please observe:

^LOOK THERE IS NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS. ME, MY BOYFRIEND, AND MY BOYFRIEND'S WIFE. they weren't just friends to me, they were my world. and before anyone tries to tell me this means that hanamoto must also have feelings for rika, the way that he acts around her is like, borderline paternal. harada is like the only one that he shows anything romantic towards, he's just a dad to everyone else really. he's protective but that doesn't equate romantic. which, i am not going to spoil the whole series, but it makes sense. god. oh to be two boys and breathe the same air... oh to be two boys and make art together and spend the most precious time of your life together in the same home and eat the same food and breathe the same air.

THAT'S HANAMOTO BASICALLY. THAT'S WHO HE IS TO ME.

read honey and clover but only if you also subscribe to Shuji Hanamoto Gay because that's really important to me.

tl;dr question i didn't actually answer above "why do i do this" theyre just aesthetic tags lol but instead of actually tagging the proper aesthetic names i use character names because its more fun and i like them :) i think these boys are neat and i like them :) no i dont know how to use pinterest and i refuse to learn that site scares me

if you wanted the actual aesthetics i associate with them:

fujimaru is like, cyberpunk/weird tech/y2k webcore

hanamoto is plants/abandoned spaces/images that make you feel both calm and a little vaguely sad

theres a really good chance im gonna adopt more characters into this system so if you see me randomly reblogging paintings and tagging them #sonoi or something that would be the reason why
