Sketches of design ideas for Daisy's new dorm uniform<33

I'm having a complicated time choosing which one I like best so i'm open to hearing other people's opinions! Also none of these are official I'll have to digitalize a version of this to be official!

(details for my inspo and thought process under the cut!)

Bc Daisy is from the 50s I decided I wanted to use the dresses as inspo! You can see how most of the dresses have like really puffy skirts so I'm using that as a basis... Also I really love that one jacket, but it's just so hard to draw, so I might ignore it 😔 oh and the gloves!! I really like the gloves!! They give a nice touch<3

Daisy is twisted from Cinderella, so I'm also taking inspiration from the way Cinderella's dress is shaped (which, not a surprise since the movie came out in the 50s, is very close to the shape I already had in mind!), I'm also using my own old design as reference to keep the black details underneath the skirt, the bow and the glass slippers which I really like!

Since Daisy is from Ramshackle I'm trying to hint at it with her clothes, I'm trying to see if instead of that saturated dark blue I might try to color it in a similar way to the ghosts' scarves, and I always will make sure to add a bow, because Daisy's supposed to be matching Grim! But overall I'm focusing more on the 50s theme and Cinderella theme than Ramshackle😔🙏🏻

Sister Snatched My Fiancé, Now She's Stunned I'm With Someone Way Better

F/N's fiance and her younger sister got together.

On the day of their engagement, F/N overheard them confessing their love to each other, which almost making F/N sick to the stomach.

Shigeo and F/N were in a seven-year long-distance relationship from the second year of high school until the present.

Harumi had been following F/N around, calling Shigeo 'nii-san' for seven years. In F/N's eyes, they had always been like siblings. Shigeo treated her like a sister, but Harumi's true feelings towards Shigeo was unclear.

Harumi was F/N's younger sister from a different mother. F/N's father and motehr divorced early and F/N's father, since F/N had some talent, doted on her.

Harumi was cute when she was a baby, with chubby cheeks and drooling and she used to like sleeping while hugging F/N. But as she grew older; around kindergarten age, she was no longer cute. She would usually put on a look of grievance, blaming F/N for things that were not her business. She would say things like 'Tou-san, if you want to hit someone, hit me. I'm so scared when you guys fight. Nee-san likes it, so give it to nee-san. I didn't mean to. Can nee-san forgive me?”

At that time, F/N was too naïve to understand what manipulation was. How could such a young child have ulterior motives?

But F/N's father's attitude towards F/N changed from good to bad, worsening over time; especially because F/N's stepmother was Harumi's biological mother and F/N's position at home became precarious.

F/N worked harder at studying, hoping her father would love her more, but to no avail. F/N's father always thought F/N bullied Harumi and Harumi endured silently.

Did everyone think F/N wasn't wary of Harumi while dating Shigeo? It was fine for the first two years as F/N was in university and she was in high school. By the time F/N was in her third year, Harumi entered college and with more time on her hands, she started making moves.

Every weekend when Shigeo and F/N had a date, Harumi would tirelessly try to contact her, claiming sisterly affection. F/N tried to drive her away, but Harumi would cry and whine, “Nee-san, do you not like me anymore? What did I do wrong? Tell me. I'll change. I'm so sad when you treat me like this.”

F/N would roll her eyes and Harumi would turn to Shigeo for help, eyes red with tears.

Each time, Shigeo would mediate, saying Harumi was still young and liked following her, so F/N should let her do so. He would ask F/N not to be so harsh on Harumi.

The couple would argue about it several times; Shigeo said F/N was unreasonable and shouldn't argue with a child, while F/N fired back that he didn't understand anything and had no right to intervene. They almost broke up, but didn't.

Later, when Harumi clung to F/N, Shigeo remained silent, letting F/N handle her stepsister.

F/N was a resident doctor at the local general hospital. Shigeo worked in IT, a programmer who had already become a project manager in a private company; young and promising with thick hair.

Everyone had praised Shigeo and F/N as the perfect match and the number of people asking when they would have their engagement ceremony was countless.

Shigeo and F/N booked a hall at a local five-star hotel, choosing the venue for its duplex structure; bright crystal chandeliers and long spiral staircases. The first floor was designated to entertain guests and the second floor were dressing rooms and lounges.

F/N was touching up her makeup in her dressing room.

“Nee-san's dress looked amazing, highlighting her strengths; unlike me, who wears shirts and jeans every day.” Harumi whined. “This lipstick matches her so well. This is what they call a man killer? I'm so clumsy. I don't know how to apply makeup. Nee-san, can you teach me in the future?”

F/N look at Harumi through the mirror, “Okay.” she let out a breath and Harumi beamed.

Often, F/N couldn't tell if Harumi was being genuinely naïve or she was just pretending. After so many years, F/N still didn't like her. It was obvious: how could she still pretend to be so close to her?

“Nee-san it's almost time.” Harumi reminded. “I'm going downstairs to be with mom and dad.” she rushed out, leaving the makeup artist staring at her back in amazement.

“F/N, your sister is so lively and naive.” the makeup artist remarked. “Everyone is dressed elegantly at this event, but she is wearing a T-shirt and jeans.'

F/N smiled without a response; some things are better left unsaid to outsiders.

Shigeo was late in picking F/N up and no one answered the phone.

F/N called a friend downstairs and was told Shigeo had already gone upstairs a while ago.

Gone upstairs for while? F/N's suspicions arose. Indeed, a woman's sixth sense is really mysterious. At that moment, F/N's mind was filled with thoughts of Harumi.

Without hesitation, F/N got out and walked out, swaying her dress.

Next to the dressing room was a lounge with the door slightly ajar and voices were coming through it.

“Shigeo, this is the last time I call you 'nii-san'.” Harumi stated. “From now on, you'll be my brother-in-law. I feel so sad. Nee-san is so happy being able to marry you. You're such a good person. Nee-san must have saved the galaxy in her past life. Nii-san, what should we do? I really like you.”

“Harumi, don't do this.” Shigeo rebuked. “Your sister and I are about to have our engagement ceremony.”

The room fell silent and F/N hesitated for two seconds before pushing the door open.

The two of them were already on the couch with Shigeo kissing Harumi, with one hand under Harumi's dress; their kissing looking overtly passionate.

F/N's body was frozen; this was the scene of their engagement. Did they have no shame?

“Nee-san...” Harumi was the first to notice.

The adulterous couple scrambled to get up from the couch; one with hair resembling a bird's nest, the other with a suit so crumpled, it was hard to look at.

“Nee-san, it's not what you think.” Harumi frantically tried to explain.

“F/N, let me explain.” Shigeo quickly caught up, standing in front of Harumi; their strategic poses were too obvious.

When did these two really start? F/N wondered. Even if today was the tipping point, they must have flirted with each other a long time before.

F/N looked at Harumi, trying to force a smile, “It's not what I think, it's what I saw.”

She turned to Shigeo and sneered, “Your words say 'no', but your actions are quite honest. Today's engagement ceremony doesn't need to be cancelled, just change the bride from the bride's side. Shigeo, we're done. Consider it as if I never knew you.”

At that, F/N turned and left, tears flooding in an instant; so many years of love easily gone.

Harumi followed F/N out, grabbed F/N's wrist and fell to her knees, slapping herself in the face.

Smack!

The room downstairs fell silent at the crisp sound. In the vast space, only Harumi's begging cries can be heard. “Nee-san, forgive me and Shigeo this time. It wasn't on purpose. I was mentally prepared to call him brother-in-law. We didn't do anything wrong. Please believe me. Please... let's proceed with your engagement properly, okay?”

Her words made F/N laugh out with anger. “With such a situation, how can we proceed with the engagement? Should we ignore the elephant in the room?”

Shigeo stood at the door of the lounge, not moving an inch. He was watching F/N and Harumi, but mostly Harumi with pity in his eyes.

F/N's heart sank deeper and deeper. “How did I not know a point that you two had reached a point where you couldn't control your feelings? You two... you are quite something.”

Furious, F/N turned and ran downstairs and telling her parents that she realized Shigeo and Harumi make a better couple, so she's giving Shigeo to Harumi.

After that failed engagement ceremony, it didn't take long for F/N to pack all her belongings and move out to a share house near the hospital she was resident at, as per her stepmother's wishes.

Later, it was Harumi who posted affectionate messages and even privately messaging F/N to seek forgiveness: Nee-san, can you forgive me? Nee-san, you're so great. Many other guys like you besides Shigeo, but I only have Shigeo. I can't leave him.

A photo of a string of diamond rings was sent, one of them almost identical to the engagement ring F/N once had. Nee-san, which ring do you think looks better?

F/N felt a little suffocated; since that incident happened, every time Harumi sent her a message seeking forgivenes and showing off her relationship, F/N would reply with one sentence. Harumi would mostly say, “Nee-san is so good.' and 'Nee-san loves me the most.'

But on that particular day, Harumi replied, “Nee-san, you must be angry with what you said. I feel so sad. After all, it's the room you lived in for more than ten years.”

F/N rolled her eyes, turned off the screen, cursed Harumi under her breathe and looked out of the window.

Shortly after the end of F/N's residency, she took on a job as Manshine City's sports therapist.

In F/N's room at the Manshine City soccer team hostel...

“Are you with someone else now?” Shigeo's booming voice echoed over the phone, interrogating F/N without even using her name.

“Shigeo, we've broken up a long time ago.” F/N reminded. “You and Harumi have a child. Can't I have a boyfriend?”

“What child?” Shigeo barked. “Have you forgotten we're engaged?”

“It was you hugging Harumi that day, wasn't it?” F/N retorted. “We've already broke up, we broke up on that very day.”

“What break up?” Shigeo huffed. “When did I ever agree to break up? You've been the one avoiding me all this time.”

Chigiri directly took F/N's phone from her hand. Not mincing any words, he spoke, “Aoki-san, right? I'm Chigiri Hyoma, F/N's current boyfriend. Please refrain from harassing my girlfriend.”

F/N didn't know how Shigeo reacted as Chigiri hung up after he finished speaking and prompted blocked Shigeo's number.

“That's my phone.” F/N gave the redhead an astonished look. “Did you block someone without my consent?”

“Sometimes, a girlfriend needs to listen to her boyfriend.” Chigiri smirked and returned the phone onto the wireless charger.

Shigeo must have told Harumi about Chigiri, because after Shigeo's call the previous day, Harumi set up a Facetime meeting with F/N.

Harumi's face was full of grievances, “Nee-san, I missed you. It's been so long since I last saw you. Mom and Dad miss you, too. When are you going to come back?” noticing Chigiri lounging on F/N's bed in the background, she looked at the speedster pleadingly and whined, “Chigiri, please talk to nee-san for me.”

Swallowing her anger, F/N ended the Facetime meeting; over the years, whenever F/N had something, Harumi would look it up and would, most of the time, snatch it away.

After Harumi hit a wall with Chigiri, she turned to F/N for conquest, determined not to give up.

When Chigiri and F/N returned to Japan for a two-week vacation, Harumi showed up at the onsen ryokan the couple were staying at and wailed to the passers-by, asking if F/N was still mad because she was blaming her and that's why brother-in-law was ignoring her. She said she realized her mistake, that she had only one sister and nothing was more important than her sister. She asked how she could be forgiven; did she have to kneel down?

The gathering crowd were pointing fingers: just forgive her. How could siblings hold grudges? Isn't it natural for an older sister to give in to her younger sister?

F/N laughed in exasperation, “Who said the older sister must always give in to the younger sister? What if the younger sister is a scoundrel?” she looked at the crowd, knowing that the best way to deal with the situation was to accuse publicly. “At my engagement ceremony, my sister went to confess her love to my fiance and they rolled about on the couch. She acted aggrieved and delicate, frequently kneeling to apologize and forcing me to forgive her. Would you dare to have such a sister?” glaring Harumi, she continued, “After years of no contact, now that she saw I had a new boyfriend, she came back. Harumi, have some shame.”

The spectators shook their heads, seeing through Harumi's deceitful tears. “Can't believe it. She's crying so pitifully. It turns out she was pretending. Being a third party; such a person deserves public condemnation. Did seeing her older sister with a good man make her want to seduce a new brother-in-law? Shameless.”

The biggest differences between acquaintances and strangers was that acquaintances were bound by courtesy and would only gossip behind one's back. Strangers, on the other hand, it's harder to bear their insults.

Chigiri stood firmly by F/N's side, smirking, as Harumi ran off, covering her face in embarrassment.

When F/N saw Shigeo again after so many years, the programmer now looked more haggard than ever, with deep dark circles under his eyes, cracked lips and a cut on his chin from shaving.

“F/N, let's make amends.” Shigeo pleaded, with a bouquet of roses and a jewellery box in hand.

“Shigeo, we have no relationship anymore.” F/N reminded. “Please don't disturb me. You should give the flowers and jewellery to Harumi. I have no interest in being a third party. I'm visiting the sights with my boyfriend. He's coming out soon.”

Shigeo frowned, realizing just then that F/N was the one he truly loved. He said he had already broken up with Harumi; that she was a jinx. Ever since being with her, he had been unlucky. His colleagues ostracized him, he lost projects and nothing was going right. He said F/N was his lucky charm, that when they were together, everything in his work seemed to fall into place and he hoped to start anew.

When Chigiri exited the ryokan, F/N turned to her ex-lover, “Sorry, my boyfriend is here. If everything goes smoothly, I will marry him. So, don't come looking for me anymore.”

“You're...” Shigeo instantly recognized the 'Crimson Cheetah' and left quickly.

“I just heard someone say they're going to marry me.” Chigiri grinned.

“That was just a strategy...” F/N stammered.

“This is not a strategy.” Chigiri corrected. He pulled out a jewellery box from his pocket. “Put it on first.” he revealed a ring. “Otherwise, we'll have to do it again.” without a word, he slid the ring onto F/N's finger.

As for Harumi; women like her were common in life: thinking that they were young and beautiful, believing that by offering themselves, men won't refuse, thinking that conquering men means conquering the world.

Shigeo, not only blinded his eyes, but also clouded his judgment, choosing stones over stars. The only think he did wrong was that since he had chosen Harumi, he shouldn't have pursued an old flame.

TFP earth vehicles as incubators for Cybertronian Eggs thoughts.

Optimus Prime having to explain to Agent Fowler why Starscream stole his jet and why they cant groundbridge in to atack Starscream who is stainary on an inaccessible peak with said jet. Arcee may be even more salty about this than Fowler because the newsparks are going to need their carrier for vorns. On the brightside he did shoot down Megatron, seriously wounding the warlord.

Vince wakes up from the rescue this asshole kid from Knockout episode to get a very traumatic view of KO ovipositing/laying into his car. Nees rescued again but he's awake this time. Gets hauled to base freaking out about how is he going to explain his "car got stolen by a haunted asten martin to my parents?" To make his day even worse he had Optimus Prime akwardly explain the "Mech-avianoids and the Cyberbees" after the Autobot vs. Decepticon speel. Worst introduction to Robot Fight Club, ever.

I'm just repeating "noooo (yes)" in quiet but shrill tones over here because omggggg

Oh tfp Optimus explaining it has to be such a fucking time

As in, Starscream shot Megatron? Sgdgdg yes, he's a momma now and he's not happy with Megatron right now (Megs will step up... After he recovers some more. He really got gotted)

Those kids are gonna grow up in such an interesting dynamic, with one hell of a story

Now I'm just imagining eventually Starscream and Megatron flying up to this treacherous mountain, building a mini base there for the bitlets, and eventually they'll be able to take them to the Nemesis. Eventually.

Okay now I'm thinking about how odd it must be for a decepticon kid to grow up on Earth

"ca— commander? What happened to the humans?"

WAIT VINCE NOOOOO

I've thought a lot about introducing Vince to the mess but this IS officially the worst way to be introduced to it

goddd exactly it's going to be so hard to explain that, the closest thing I got is "oh Vince was in a terrible car crash, yep his car was completely totaled. He's okay though" or try to replace it with an identical car which has to be hard (and you can't replace it EXACTLY the same)

I love how we've designated this Optimus's job

EPISODE 1

Mika: Hmmm? Only 30 minutes till’ our live and Nazuna-nii isn’t here yet…

Shu: Kagehira. Quit shaking, it’s uncomfortable. To rephrase it, it’s vulgar.

Don’t get distracted just because nobody is watching us, Valkyrie must always remain graceful.

If you behave unsightly I won't allow you to go up on stage. Understand? 

Whether you are there or not, it won't matter. 

Mika: Nnnnh, I’m sorry Oshi-san Standin’ around in the same place gets annoyin’. Is it okay if I follow you for a bit? 

Shu: Don't move on your own, even if you walk just a little you’ll soon forget what you have to do. 

As far as I’m worried you’ll ruin your costume.

Mika: Nnnh? Osh-san is worried about me~? I’m so happy.

Shu: What I’m worried about is the costume, not you! Just how much effort do you think went into tailoring the costume?

Kagehira, just take responsibility. 

It’s not something easy where you can just wash it if it gets dirty.

Mika: Nnnn~ I’m happy with our matchin' costumes. Oshi-san makes new costumes every live performance

So refreshin’ ♪

This is our general costume for Valkyrie right? Ha~ It’s cool, make us look like antique dolls ♪

Shu: It’s not supposed to create a nostalgic feeling, but the trend where it’s good if it’s new...I can’t stand it. 

I’m used to tailoring these kinds of costumes, I’m the only one who can prepare/tailor the costumes on my own. ♪

Mika: Nnnn, Mado-nee is also wearin' a matching costume! Cute~♪

Shu: That’s right, that’s right, praise more.

Rather than wearing it just because it looks cute on Mademoiselle, it’s only natural it looks good because I designed it. 

You too...Well it only looks good on you because you’re only good appearance-wise. 

Mika: Eh? Really? I’m happy~ Oshi-san has praised me~♪

Shu: Don't jump around! It would be a problem if you hooked your clothes somewhere, you careless person.

Nazuna: …..

Mika: Nnnhn!? I was surprised... Nazuna-nii how long have you been standin’ there? It’s quite late, I was worried! 

Nazuna: ….. 

Mika: Don’t act so intimidatin’! I’m older than you Nazuna-nii. I wont know what to do if you suddenly bowed yer head~...

Nazuna: …..?

Mika: Nnnn? Lookin’ at the costume? This is our basic Valkyrie costume, I get to match with you Nazuna-nii~♪

Nazuna: …..♪

Mika: Yeah! I think it looks great too! I’m sure it’ll look good on you too, Nazuna-nii.

Shu: Kagehira. Just shut up for a little bit. 

...It’s very late, Nito

Nazuna: …..

Shu: Well I’d say it’s okay, hurry get dressed. Your costume is over there. 

It’ll be difficult to wear it yourself, I’ll help you. 

Nazuna: ….. nods head 

Shu: Aaa, Nito, Nito, Nito…♪ My perfectly tuned, beautiful lovely marionette. Even today as well, you are perfect…☆

It’s a miracle of God given by heaven.

It’s such a shame to share this brilliant frame to average people in this world, I wish to keep it all to myself…♪

But unfortunately it cannot happen. 

Those insects are very disturbing these few days, so we have to defeat them. In order to do that we need you. 

Don’t worry, I’ll clean up this mess soon. 

Because it’s ‘fine’ we’re up against I thought what it would be like against Tenshouin, but after all, it’s child's play. 

They are not only the enemy of Valkyrie, of course there are others snobs within our eyes.

Let’s kick it all away, destroy it and pack it into a cheap stuffed toy♪

These days, including me, there’s a group called ‘ The 5 Eccentrics’ and so on.

At this point, everyone seems to be watching us silently. There is nothing in this world that tunes out our reign/superiority. 

Just a little more and this world will turn into a beautiful exhibition designed by me. 

It won't take long, just a little more patience. 

Nazuna: …..nods head

Shu: Nito, cute little rabbit…let's create a perfect world for you with no dust.

First of all, let’s begin to prepare for this showcase. 

Even if you spare the trouble of helping us, it’s still troublesome. 

Separated from the fools and the weak… let’s only bring the most beautiful and valuable into heaven.

Mother's Day (Marina Imagine)

Age Rating: 12+

Chapters: Three of Three

Fandom: Station 19

Ship: Maya x Carina

AN: Happy Mother’s Day guys! Here’s the last chapter of this Mother’s Day story that will focus on our favorite Station 19 couple Maya Bishop and Carina DeLuca as mothers to Liam.

Edit: I edited this story a bit so it can take place a year after the series finale. I thought with the writers protests the storyline was set in 2023 instead of 2024 so I accommodated this story with that. And with Maya and Carina getting pregnant in the end I wanted to show their daughter.

Summary: Maya and Carina have a party at the station with the others where they sign the adoption papers making them Liam’s official parents.

Words: 1179

May 12, 2024

“Did you get the cake?” Carina asks Maya in excitement while feeding Liam in a highchair. Liam smiles widely at Carina feeding him another spoonful of banana baby puree from a jar.

Meanwhile their daughter, Andrea, is inside a car seat on the table. She watches her mother feed her brother making baby noises that cause Carina to smile at her baby every five seconds, overcome with how adorable her babies are.

Maya enters the beanery smiling and carrying a large white box with a manila folder on top.

“Yes, I did, and I think your gonna like the design I picked out for this very special day.” Maya sets the box on the table and Carina wipes Liam’s mouth before picking him up so they can go to Maya.

“Did you bring the-”

Maya answers her question before she can finish by picking up the manila folder that contains the adoption papers for them to sign and take to the courthouse tomorrow, “My love do you really still doubt me after all these years?”

Carina grins at Maya’s smugness, “It’s a big day today and we can’t afford any missteps.” Carina turns to Liam and speaks in a baby voice, “But lucky for us your mama is organized and never forgets her keys let alone a paper making us your legal mommy’s. And making you a big brother to your little sister in every way possible."

When Maya and Carina heard the good news from the fertility doctor that Maya’s eggs were successfully fertilized with the sperm, they selected from the donor catalog they decided to freeze them. They wanted to wait until after they adopted Liam to give him a sibling because they wanted to focus fully on him and making him a part of their family.

After their lawyer told them their chances of adopting were good once Liam's father signed away his rights, the women decided not to put it off any longer. They both agreed neither of them were getting younger and their window was small so they had to take it.

Then in May last year Carina told Maya the embryo finally took and they were having another baby.

Maya smiles at the memory as she looks down at their daughter who already has Maya's blonde hair and blue eyes. The sight makes her smile at the family she finally has with the woman she loves.

She looks at Liam in Carina's arms, "Now Liam being a big brother is really important. Your gonna protect your sibling and teach them things we can’t.”

“That’s right.” Carina lightly bounces Liam in her arms, “If it wasn’t for me your Zio Andrea wouldn’t know his head from his butt.”

“Hey, come on I think I could’ve survived being an only child.” Andrew walks into the beanery carrying a large blue gift-wrapped box with his wife Amber DeLuca nee Karev walking beside him carrying their 1-year-old daughter Lucy in her arms. The women can see that despite Amber looking elegant in a gothic sense with her black turtleneck hugging her torso and black pleated pants she looks tired and disheveled.

Amber exhales as if she was running a marathon, “We’re not too late, are we?”

“Nope your right on time.” Andy Herrera tells her as she enters the beanery with Vic, Ben and Bailey. Vic and Travis are visiting Seattle from Washington to settle board meetings for Crisis One. They heard about the party and insisted on showing up.

Andy takes out a water bottle from the fridge, “We’re just waiting for Montgomery and Gibson to show up.”

Andrew exhales in relief, “Thank God, we would have come sooner but the struggle was real getting Lucy out of the house.”

Carina chuckles and leans face to face with Lucy who looks adorable in her denim overall dress with her short wavy brown hair up in pigtails, “Don’t worry Lucy, I forgive you because you are the most adorable nipote in the world!” Lucy giggles at Carina’s exasperated voice.

Amber smiles at her sister-in-law, “Well your adorable nipote has been very active lately.”

“And very stubborn about what she wants.” Andrew chips in and whispers to Maya next to him, “I ‘terribili due’ non sono uno scherzo.” (Translation: The terrible twos are no joke.) Amber puts Lucy down to her feet and she immediately runs to Maya hugging her legs causing Carina and the others to aww at the adorable sight.

Maya chuckles and picks up Lucy in her arms who stares up at her with huge blue eyes, “Come on she’s not even two yet.”

“Oh, try telling her that.” Amber tells her as she sets up the table while Andrew walks over to Carina smiling at his nephew who grins at him.

Amber smiles at her 5-month-old niece on the table who is also named after her husband. She reminisces when her own daughter, Lucy, was this small and compliant.

"Oh I remember when Lucy was this small, it feels like so long ago."

Maya grins with Lucy still in her arms, "It was a year ago."

"Exactly." Amber states, "In parent years it feels like a century. Trust me you'll know what it's like only it'll be double the trouble with two babies. I'll ask April to pray for you two."

Andrew chuckles at Liam’s squishy face feeling nostalgic and sharing Amber's feelings, “Yep enjoy this age while you can sis because pretty soon, he’s gonna start scribbling on the walls, scaring you half to death when he tries to climb the stairs by himself and pulling your hair when you end bathtime.” Carina chuckles at Andrew’s misery, “Seriously you guys enjoy this age of innocence it goes by so fast.”

“How strong is the coffee here?” Amber asks Andy.

“We have military issue if you can handle it.”

“I’ll take a cup.” Amber moves to the coffeemaker.

“Make it two.” Amber nods at Andrew’s request. Gibson and Montgomery enter the room carrying balloons and greeting everyone with smiles.

“Hey, we’re not too late, are we?”

“Nope we wouldn’t sign these papers without everyone present.” Maya tells Jack.

Soon Beckett, Theo, and Sullivan come on and they gather around the counter where the manila folder is. Carina turns to Andrew and he gladly holds Liam for her with Amber next to him carrying Lucy. Travis grabs the carseat and sets it on the counter so Andrea can watch her big brother finally be a part of the family in legals terms.

Maya takes a deep breath before opening the folder, taking the paper out and grabbing the pen from her shirt pocket clicking it.

“Here we go.” Maya looks at Carina who smiles in joy while Vic is on the other side of the counter filming this moment on her phone with a smile. Maya signs her cursive on one of the two dotted lines on the bottom. She holds the pen out to Carina with a smile, “We’re halfway there.”

Carina smiles taking the pen, “Let me finish it then.” Carina leans down the counter and signs her own name below Maya’s. As soon as she finishes everyone around them cheers. Maya laughs and brings out the cake revealing the design. It’s a white rectangular sheet cake with a blue wave like ocean at the bottom with Goldfish crackers swimming in it and a reel with a line in the frosty sea. Across the white sheet written in blue frosting on top is ‘O-fish-aly Ours!’ Liam DeLuca-Bishop 05-12-24’

The group chuckles and awes at the cake with Carina joking, “Bambina you have now reached cheesy parent status.”

“Well, it’s all for my son.” Maya takes Liam from Andrew’s arms and smiles at him, “Did you hear that little dude? I’m officially your mama!” Liam smiles wide as Carina wraps her arms around Maya’s torso pulling both of them against her.

“That’s right bambino, we’re your mama’s in heart and paper now.” They coo at the baby while Andy gets two blue baby bottles that are filled with white wine instead of milk. She gives them to the legal mommy’s with a smile.

“Courtesy of Tia Andy so you guys can toast properly to getting through the first year with him.”

Maya chuckles at the bottles, “Thank you.” Carina holds up her bottle to toast and Maya does the same, “Cheers to…not dropping him on his head.”

“Or swallowing a safety pin. Cheers and a happy Mother’s Day, mommy!”

Maya smiles at the coincidence of both the adoption date and Mother’s Day set at the same time as if fate knew they were meant to be mother’s all along, “Happy Mother’s Day, mama.” They clink their bottles and celebrate their first day as official parents to their beloved and beautiful son.

Hiii can I request a Reo x reader who’s nagis sister like the last fic

YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?

pairing: reo mikage x fem!reader

warning: reader is nagi's older sister, one-sided crush (lol), reo tried to flirt.

note: tbh, idk how to do these types of fics but trying even though i love these types of trope.

reo didn't expected for these to happened. having a crush on your own best friend's older sister? reo could still remembered the day he met her when he visited nagi's house.

now that nagi was playing soccer, reo planned on visiting nagi's house because of the rumours that nagi had a perfect sister and she used to school in hakuho. maybe he could meet the famous nagi's sister.

"your sister will never be like this!"

that's when he knew that nagi had a sister. seeing how the teachers keep comparing nagi with his sister — it must be that she was an amazing person at school. was she a student council president? maybe he should check the record.

"nagi, you really don't care when they compared you?"

"hmm? i don't care. my sister is amazing anyway."

"what's she like?"

"find out yourself. it's a hassle talking about it."

so this is nagi's house, it was quite big but smaller than reo's mansion. judging by the appearance, it was a clean house. following nagi to entered the house — first impression of the interior design, it was empty but comfortable.

"my sister is not home, yet."

reo could wait. he would do anything to received the things he want. "let's go to your room!" he was excited to see nagi's sister soon enough.

while playing some games nagi and reo could heard a motorcycle vroooommm nearing the house. nagi went and paused the game and got out of the room to greet his sister. 'is it his sister?' nagi wouldn't got up for no reason so reo soon went and followed and saw nagi's sister for the first time.

nagi's sister was patting nagi head and reo swore he could see bunny ears on nagi. nagi seishiro's older sister was very pretty. reo could understand the rumours on why they said that she was perfect. she was so cool, riding a motorcycle too?

"that is reo mikage, right?"

"mhm."

first eye contact with her and reo already knew he liked her.

this was the first time reo felt frustrated because you wouldn't even looked at his way! you were always so busy with other things. nagi had once mentioned before that your type was a basketball player but he already quit it! he felt like life was cruel to him.

he knew you were still single but he doesn't know if you have a crush on someone. reo want to bang his head onto a wall. reo had everything, why won't you look his way?

is it because he's younger than you...?

bang

nagi jumped because of the sudden noise that happened because reo punched a wall. 'what the hell is wrong with him..' reo was keeping his crush a secret from nagi because who knows what would nagi think of him now. nagi might even quit soccer after that and he loses all his chances to win world cup!

shrugging his shoulders nagi continues his grind on games at lunch time. reo was mumbling things but nagi couldn't careless, it doesn't bother him — ofc, it was weird for reo to lose his composure for some reason but he won't ask why.

nee-san: sei, do you want to go shopping tomorrow?

nagi: 50 minutes. i won't accept more than that.

nee-san: i will buy you games for your ps5. 1 hour and 30 minutes.

nagi: grrrrrr, fine :x

"reo, nee-san want me to go shopping tomorrow. you coming?"

reo turned his head to nagi slowly. wait what, shopping? you will be there? reo won't miss this chances.

"yes."

"uhhh... ok." nagi was getting suspicious of reo.

sending a text to you — you replied with 'the more the merrier :p' lunch break was over and reo started to drag nagi to the classroom. he will make sure tomorrow you look at his way.

today's the day. reo is determined to do this. he will make sure he pays for everything the nagi's siblings want. he's kinda like their unofficial money wallet. spending more times with you means knowing more about you.

arriving at the mall with nagi, you already saw reo there 'fast'. you greeted reo with a wave and a smile, and reo was resisting himself — nagi simply just nod his head at reo's presence.

you tug nagi's hand to drag him and nagi went ahhhhh. reo wished it was him that you were dragging — shopping with you was fun (any moments with you is fun) even though nagi and reo became the victim to hold the bags.

reo offered to pay everything and you weren't sure about it. you kept asking him if it was really okay and he just replied with 'im a billionaire.' and nagi agreed with reo. (nagi wanted reo to pay for everything because nagi doesn't want you to spend money on him.)

throughout the journey of you finding a clothes for yourself and nagi. reo was the only responsive through all your questions and remarks. nagi was basically just observing the you and reo at this point.

"nee-san, im gonna melttttt..." nagi was already slouching at this point. reo was practically holding nagi now with the bags and you felt bad.

"20 minutes left, sei. please keep on going." you said in a nonchalant voice because it was a normal occurrence to you by now.

"haha, nagi keep yourself up!"

nagi groan — he's feeling so lazy right now. why did he agreed to go with you? he could've just stay at home and reo wasn't helping either. whatever, anything for his overworked sister.

everytime yours fingers accidentally brushed against reo's hands, he couldn't hold out the excitement. your hands was soft. ahhhhh, he just want to hold it.

you kept on calling reo's name but he won't respond so you tap on his shoulder to get his attention. reo jumped at the sudden touch from you — "reo, what do you think of these dress?" you were showing the sky blue dress to him twirling around and reo thought that you were a princess (you are).

"[name], i think blue suits you the most. that dress is perfect for you. well, everything on you is perfect since you are beautiful."

"is that so? haha! thank you for the compliment, reo."

"do you want me to buy it?"

"thank you, reo."

nagi slouch on you, putting his head on your shoulder. he is attached to you like a koala. reo side glances to the both of you — he noticed how you two were actually very similar to eachother. your face, the way you talk too. the rumours about you being different from nagi was all wrong. you were basically nagi without the laziness. nagi could achieved it if he wanted too but he doesn't do it.

the two of you were talented.

"i have a question for you two.."

the both of you looked at reo. reo feels like he is the prey for some reason...

"what will you do to achieve the things you want?"

"isn't it obvious? with hard work. of course, there's some people out there that could achieved it with their talents but everything needs hard work."

"i haven't thought of it. i just go with the flow."

two different answers. your answer was the logical one and nagi being nagi. maybe, he should try to ask you out but would you reject him?

"nagi, i like your sister."

"huh."

nagi widen his eyes. ain't no way reo just said that to his face. nagi is not the type of guy to judge someone but this involved you. nagi cared for you.

"you're kidding, right?"

reo is staring at nagi's eyes so hard.

"ok, you're not."

nagi doesn't know what to do with this information. was he supposed to help reo ask you out or something. he doesn't know shit about love. his parents ain't even home most of the time only his sister was. how would he knows what love is?

should he tell reo the truth?

"reo, i don't think you're a match for her."

now this time it was reo to be shocked now. nagi was telling him that he's out of your league. blinking his eyes at nagi — nagi was looking at him with unreadable expression. did reo fuck up?

"why?"

"ehhh, no reason."

it seems like nagi is actually protective of you. he understands, he would also be protective of you if you were his and he was yours. maybe it wasn't his luck this time.

"whatever, no time wasting! nagi, let's go practice!"

reo was desperately trying to hide his sadness.

nagi was laying on the couch with his phone on his chest. you were on the other side and nagi called out to you.

"nee-san, what do you think of reo?"

"he's a good person."

he knew you would give short answer. you don't know how reo really is so you don't really have any opinion on him. if you know that person well, you would give essay of answers. nagi closed his eyes and suddenly he fell into a deep slumber.

'sleep already?'

note: LMAOO IM SO SORRY FOR DOING THIS TO REO 💀 forgive me.

[islandtarochips]

Hello! You've been super nice with my content and I would like to thank you for being so kind 🥺

I have a question since I'm interested to ask! Can you tell me something about your culture and Samoan people? :D

Of course dearie! Everything that you've created is an ABSOLUTE stunning art! You and the others that I have followed!

And yeah! I would LOVE to! But just to let you know, I’m slowly learning as well since I was young. Because of how a slow learner I am but I will do my best to answer your question! (And it will be in a little detail for me to explain EVERYTHING about our culture.)

Starting off about the Samoan people. Us Samoan people are very strict with our culture. And they said that we're the most recognizable people showing it. Our dances, our music, visual arts. All of that! The Visual Arts are the most interesting thing that I've seen so far. Like the Tatau (tah-tah-oo).

The Tatau are like tattoos mainly on the thighs and waist. You can say that they're wearing like clothing. Which means they are practically...Ahem. You should know. And they said we started using this as an inspiration by the two Fijian women who came up to the shore and brought their materials and knowledge of tattooing. Next one that we're known for Visual Arts is Siapo (see-ah-poh). A Samoan word for "A fine cloth made from the bark of the Paper Mulberry tree."

The Siapo is very important for ceremony, especially the wedding occasion and the funeral service, just to wrap the dead body and put in the grave. (Since we have caskets now. We put the Siapo on TOP of the casket instead.) It's even for High Chiefs or village maiden wearing the Siapo around their waist. Like in this old photo!

(IF you can even SEE it) Now the next one is the Ie Lavalava (ee-eh lah-vah-lah-vah). An Ie Lavalava is a piece of fabric that Polynesians tie around their waists that gets worn like a skirt. Both men and women wear this type of garment in Samoa and is considered to be a traditional daily outfit used for school uniforms or work attire paired with a jacket and tie. Like this one:

(Students wearing their Ie Lavalava for school) Or this one:

(This is somewhere in the state as they allowed them to wear it in school campus. I forgot the name of the school and place.) Men and Women wear them like that. For anywhere they go. Back in the days, my dad use to tell me that women should wear an Ie whenever they go out in the village. If they don't, it goes to show that they are not respecting our people or the village for it. And nowadays, we hardly done that. I mean, there are still some of them wears an Ie when they go out but most of us aren't. I only wear an Ie when I go to another Pastor's house or go to Church. Anyway, here is some BEAUTIFUL design that they made an Ie Lavalava!

And LASTLY of the Visual Art, is Weaving. I'm sure you already know of what weaving is. For us, we weave baskets and Ie Tonga (ee-eh toh-ngh-ah). It's like the Ie Lavalava but it is made of native pandanus (lauie) tree. And it's BIGGER. I forgot if my dad told me if it was the BARK or the LEAVES they use to make it. Here is what the Ie Tonga look like:

Just like that! They use these for the funerals as a gift to show their respects. I've seen this MANY times. They use these for Fa'alavelave (fah-ah-lah-veh-lah-veh). Means "Families dig deep to help fund funeral, wedding, or other life-interrupting costs, to the tune of thousands of dollars." And oh yeah, the Samoan funerals also involves money. To help out to get the things for the high chiefs and other pastors and wives. ANYWAY, they said the I'e Toga originated from our neighboring country, Tonga. The I'e Toga was originally brought to Samoa by a Tongan lady named Fuka (foo-kah). Fuka's older sister, Lautiovogia (lah-oo-tee-oh-voh-nee-ah) the Queen of Samoa, was married to the King Tuiatua (too-ee-ah-too-ah). During Fuka's visit to Samoa, she gave her sister an I'e Toga as a gift. And that's how the Ie Tonga came into Samoa. That's about it for the Visual Art. And for the music and dances. The dancing is mostly about elegant and grace. The dances also tells the story about our ancestors and mostly about love. Just like any other countries uses their music in dancing to tell the story! Another thing about us Samoans. Samoan parents are VERY strict of disciplining their children. Like let's say....Mexican/Asian/Black mothers disciplining kind of way😅. But they're just doing that out of love. Nothing abusive. I promise. And also, there are TWO different Samoa island. One island is named ACTUALLY Samoa and there's AMERICAN Samoa (That's where I'm at right now!). The differences is. Samoa are like the independent one. Nothing owns them. Until New Zealand took Samoa under them. While American Samoa is under the US. If I remember correctly the reason why American Samoa is under the US. Is because of the Americans assisting us from the war that is going on. Going against Germany, I think. So I guessed that's how we became under the protection of the US.

Here are the two Samoan islands. Almost close but it's like 1h 12m on an airplane and 16h on a car ferry. I prefer the plane (If I didn't pack anything HEAVY. Lol.) So yeah, that's about it. Thank you @welldonekhushi for the ask and hopefully this will help you answer your question! I'm trying be detailed as I can.

[amethystfairy1]

Uh, hi!

I don't really know how to meld my little OC into TTSBC: Beyond! But I still wanted to show off my little guy and maybe infodump about them because they're very silly in my mind.

This is Neap (NEE-ap), an allay mutant (allay anon no longer, I suppose)! Standing at 5 ft, around young teens (15-16 ish) with a light blue glamour!

Originally born in the depths, captured for their luminosity and kept around for his healing blood and reflective crystals from said blood by a gang. They tried escaping once, as a young child, but got caught and below the knees were chopped off. In their time there, they only managed to regenerate one of their legs, not ever having enough glamour or blood to regenerate the second one. A second attempt years later proved successful, though.

After scrounging around in the depths, trying to find cloths to hide their body, they found Etho's gang busting the criminals that they were once imprisoned by. They noticed Neap and brought them to the near surface for medical treatment.

A witch noticed them and brought them under their wing, and they've been living with them ever since, organizing their materials for them. The witch nicknamed them "Flora", because it's cute.

They also sometimes work at a nearby library/archive (because there must be a library if there's a school? For general education?) and after chatting with a regular visitor with a robotic eye, learns more about the old Director and his theories about her. They don't really believe him, but they likes listening to him.

They use a cane because they only has a temporary leg until she can regenerate back herself. Still, even if they regenerate their legs, their knees often act up, so a cane is handy for keeping them upright.

So yeah. Neap. I have no clue if I accidentally moved too far back from canon, so let me know if anything is out of place, but yeah!

AHHHHHH CUTIEEEE

I love them!!!! I love their hair and their design and their backstory all so much! They work for a witch too? That's just so perfect I adore it! I think everything is right in order to this!!! If you want Neep to be included in Beyond, make sure to send an ask to @silver-sunray who is collecting everything for the event, so that Neep can have their part in the submission gallery when the event eventually goes live! And of course feel free to add more or write more about them alongside that bit, I love them and I think you did a great job! Thank you for sharing! 💖

3 Dormleaders and the Adeuce Duo's Reaction to

*~Sentience~*

TW: Ace is a jerk, slight mention of Exams, Idk how to write Idia/Malleus/Azul, new to the internet and it's slang writer trying to imagine what Idia would say, slightly cringe, slight T*ey slander, intentional wrong grammar, Azul so confused he forget he doesn't have morals, Mentions of camera, weirdo prefect, I made this when I was bored, and braindead from school, shirtless Malleus, grossed-out Azul, etc.

Ace: ...Oh. So I'm just a video game character... No real feelings, no real emotions. My family is just a figment of my imagination. My personality, just pieces of code.

Life has lost all it's meaning.

...Or was I ever truly alive in the first place?

.

.

.

.

GOT YOU!!!

Man, you should have seen the look on your face. It was HILARIOUS!

What? Did you really think you could fool me with such a basic prank? Come on, my brother already done that one when I was five. ...which I completely did not fall for whatsoever! Nope. Not at all.

Anyways, you should really hide your props better. I could see the camera from miles away.

(Prefect: What do you mean "camera"?)

Ace: ...

(Prefect: ...)

Ace: ...we're dead.

Deuce:

"Huh?! REALLY?? Was My whole life a lie?! Oh gosh, does this mean I've never existed?!?! Are the words coming from my mouth really from my thoughts or am I just reading from a script done by some bored writer?!

Does this mean my exam results mean NOTHING?!?!"

(Ace: What? You really fell for that? Dude, you're so gullible. It's just a prank, man. Right, Prefect?)

(Prefect: ...)

(Ace: ...right?)

(Prefect: ...)

(Ace: Dude, this isn't funny anymore)

(Prefect: ...)

(Ace: JUST SAY SOMETHING! ANYTHING! PLEASE!!!)

"We're all gonna die!!!"

(Ace: We can't die if we were never alive in the first place, idiot. Oh great, now I'm saying weird stuff too!)

(Prefect: Sorry for the long wait, guys. Mind catching me up on what happened when I was AFK?)

(Adeuce duo: When you were WHAT?!?!?)

Idia:

"Rlly? Who'd believe that? Like srsly, I'm not even that marketable. I'm too floopy to be in a shooter game, too boring to be in a gacha-"

(Prefect: It's a gacha)

Dude, who in their right mind would pull for me?? I'm the boringest character ever!

(Prefect: Nah, that's Trey)

Nah, Trey's the untrustable kind

(Prefect: Nah, that's Jade)

...okay, fair.

Anyways, I just don't see the appeal. Like, why? I'm just a weirdo who hates people, and stays in my room to play video games 21/7! And I read manga the rest of the time. I'm a total loser!

(Prefect: And that's what makes you the relatable character. Jokes aside, your saracasm is pretty funny, man, the ghost bride event was hilarious, and your character design is pretty cool. That's some of the reasons. Honestly, just gonna pull 4 u on ur next banner.)

"You should get your eyes checked"

(Prefect: I should. It's been a while since I changed my glasses. I can't even see your eyes lol.)

(Prefect: Anyways, Want to play the game? We got Rhythm games, card battles-)

"Sounds great. Better question, are there any, ahem, hot mommies?"

(Prefect: We got...Leona? And Vil! Man, how could I forget Vil? I love that man)

"Who doesn't?! I mean, whoever doesn't must be BLIND. He's totally SSR tier! If he was in the game, I'd whale for him whenever he gets a banner! He's pogchamp.

Well, As long as he isn't trying to get me to take care of myself. He's way better behind a screen. Like man, I don't care if I'll die quicker, give me my cup noodles and pomegranate candies. Actually, it's much better if I die-"

(Ortho: Nee-san! We talked about this!)

"...fine."

(Prefect: You tell him, Ortho!)

Could you send the game now?

(Prefect: yeah, sure. But the boss battles are pretty hard to beat-)

"Heh, I could beat that game in 3 weeks top"

(Prefect: Alright, you're on!)

Malleus:

Child of man, what is this "video game character" that you speak of, and how am I such one?

(Prefect: it just means a whole lot of people all around the world- Scratch that. All around the universe, simp for you!)

What does "simp" mean?

(Prefect: Imagine Sebek but, well... Yeah, never mind. Just imagine Sebek. But for like, fictional characters)

But I am not a work of fiction though, child of man? What dost thou mean?

(Prefect: ...heh. um, actually...)

A talking portrait of me in your digital device. I still do not understand what you are trying to convey.

(Prefect: Never mind. Let's just look at fanarts of you)

"Fanarts"?

(Prefect: portraits of you done in my realm)

I am fine with that. Show me these "fanarts" you speak of.

.

"These are not at all accurate. Some of them look completely different from each other. And why do some of them portray me without my clothing-"

(Prefect: OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH INTERNET FOR TODAY! Yeah, let's just look at gargoyles or something! ...wait. Is that Lilia with a bag of groceries?!?! Oop. We're doomed.)

Azul:

Ah, good afternoon Prefect. I wish to speak to you. You see, while we were stealing-

I mean, checking your phone-

(Prefect: Why are you stealing checking my phone??)

Not important.

Anyways, we found this. Care to explain why you have a picture of me as your lock screen? I mean, I AM quite handsome, but the use of photos of me taken without permission could and would get you sued!

I don't really want to sue you, so I've came up with a good compromise. How about a-

(Prefect: thank God, you didn't see the home screen.)

...Well, of course I did. It was quite...odd.

(Prefect: Really? That's all? I thought you'd make a bigger reaction, you know, with it being you in an nsfw outfit)

In a WHAT!?!?

(Prefect: Aha! So you didn't see my lock screen! I was just joking. FYI, it was just a cute chibi Azul in his octomer form.)

Oh.

(Prefect: The bunny girl outfit was last week)

WHAT?!?! I could sue you right now, you know?!

(Prefect: you have no proof)

You admitted it!

(Prefect: You have no witnesses)

Nonsense! Jade and Floyd are-

Ah. Right...

Ahem. Pray tell, where did you find such...things.

(Prefect: The internet Is a weird place)

WHY WOULD THE INTERNET-

(Prefect: Octavinelle's the most popular game in Twisted Wonderland. At least, in tumblr. Poll-wise, I mean. I prefer Heartslabyul though. Ah, By the way, I mean the videogame, not this world.)

What??

Impossible. I am not from a video game. I'm not some weird anime character-

(Prefect: *shows gameplay*)

Okay, but-

(Prefect: *shows chapter 3*)

...do I at least get a share on the income?

No? What do you mean "No"?! THEY'RE USING MY FACE! FOR INCOME! AND I DON'T EVEN GET 48%?! This is unfair. This is ILLEGAL! I'm going to sue!

(Prefect: You're going to sue...D*sney. The one who made you? The one who made Ursula??)

Yeah, what's the problem with that-

Wait, Ursula?! What do you mean-

(Prefect: does that mean I can buy twst merch from you now? Hey, can I order a body pillow?)

What? T-that's disgusting!

(Prefect: *puts down bag of money*)

Did I say disgusting? No, I meant odd. But everyone's a little odd.

So, who do you want a body pillow of? Come now, Let us discuss the price in the VIP room.

Original ask:

Message:

(Argument with Idia)

You're just a game character anyways!

(For Deuce)

I'm pulling for your banner cuz you're my fav character. Wish me luck! What do I mean? I mean, you are a video game character, you know.

(For Ace)

Dude, you're from a video game.

Jade Leech Yandere Profile

Template by @cinnamonest

Warnings: kidnapping, mention of force feeding, torture, humiliation, noncon, biting, bondage, one mention of breeding, branding, drugging, overstimulation

Reader is gender neutral with female genitalia

Intelligence/Perceptiveness: 10

Brutality: 9.5

Physical capability: 7.5

Mental/emotional instability: 1.5

Restrictiveness: 9.5

Sexual sadism: 10

Stubbornness: 8.5

What are they generally like? Lucid, aware? Obsessive? How do they behave?

Totally obsessive. You’re on his mind all the time and it drives him fucking crazy

You could say he’s aware that normal people don’t kidnap others and think about ways to make them scream all day, he just doesn’t care

He and Floyd have lived their whole lives doing and taking whatever they want and they don’t plan to stop anytime soon

Jade doesn’t really feel love like other people. Both of the twins were raised with a warped perception of love and don’t really understand it completely

Jade loves his brother. He knows that much is true. But he feels something very different when he thinks of you. Since he doesn’t know what being in love feels like then this must be it, right?

How likely are they to kidnap their darling? How quickly will they do so?

Like 100%

If you’re the new interesting thing in his life then he needs to have you immediately

And of course he also has Floyd as support if he needs it

When those two work together, there’s really nothing they can’t do because everyone is too afraid to stop them

Some people aren’t as afraid of Jade because they don’t know him that well but everyone is afraid of Floyd

So when Jade finds you working late by yourself in one of the chem labs, he calls in his brother to stand guard while he goes in for the kill

As for the timeline, Jade is not a hesitant person. If he takes a special interest in you then he’ll kidnap you within a week or two

How difficult is it to escape from them? How do they keep you restrained? How do they deal with attempted escape? 

Impossible. Jade is incredibly smart and he knows all the tricks in the book. He never lets his guard down, always retaining his fake smile and personality. The only person to ever see the real Jade is Floyd, and even that is rare

You’re like an experiment to Jade. He likes to change up the way he keeps you restrained every so often just to see how you react. Often, you’ll have any number of limbs handcuffed to the bed posts. Sometimes he keeps you in a cage of his own design but his favorite is a small glass box where you’re completely exposed to him for days on end with not even enough room to sit down

The display case is often just used as a punishment, usually after you’ve just made an escape attempt. It’s covered in locks and impossible to escape. The only opening is a slot right by your mouth that he can open to shove some food down your throat

Other punishments can range from sexual to forcing you to try his new potion just to see what happens

How easy are they to trick, deceive, or manipulate?

Also impossible

Like I said before, Jade always has his guard up and would only ever lose face in front of his brother

He’ll let you play out your little act of trying to win him over but he won’t buy it for a second

Even if you do actually start to develop Stockholm syndrome and fall for him, he won’t believe you but he’ll go along with it

The only chance you have at earning more freedom would be to play along with him and be his perfect little plaything for several years. Then maybe you can have free roam of his room if you’re lucky

How lenient are they? What privileges can you have, and what will you be denied?

You’re nothing more than a pet to Jade but he still wants to keep you alive

When he’s in his best mood, you’re kept in his room with an ankle cuffed to the bed, but a long enough chain that you can reach the bathroom. He’ll also feed you three meals a day and maybe, if you’ve been really good, he’ll let you read some of his plant books

He also knows that humans need exercise in order to thrive. Once a week, in the dead of night, he’ll sneak you over to the pool and let you swim for an hour. But of course pool time is also terrifying since Jade is hovering over your shoulder in his eel form

Of course this all goes out the window if you put a toe out of line. You’ll learn the hard way to appreciate what you have

What kind of rules do they have? What kind of punishment would they use?

What rules does he not have is the real question. The only thing Jade lets you do on your own is breathe

He will drill into you the obedience of a well trained dog

Eat the food you’re given or else you won’t eat for days. Don’t complain about anything or it will be taken away. Don’t speak unless spoken to or you’ll be gagged

Just normal healthy relationship stuff

How do they deal with rivals, or perceived rivals? Will they get rid of them? Will they kill them themselves, or find another way?

This is not a problem for Jade

He already wiped you off the grid when he kidnapped you and people gave up looking after a month

Sure there are some people like Ace and Deuce who are more heartbroken than others but it’s not like they’re going to come and vent their troubles to Jade Leech

He would get annoyed if people are still talking about you after a while

He wants everyone to just forget about you and leave you completely isolated

On the off chance he does hear someone drop your name, he can get them to shut up by simply bumping shoulders and apologizing with that sinister smile of his

That would make anyone clam up

How easy is it to make them mad? What does their anger look like?

Jade’s patience is seemingly never ending

Growing up with Floyd, he pretty much had to have the patience of a saint so as not to invoke his brothers temperament

If Jade were ever to get angry for any reason, you would honestly have a very low survival rate

He wouldn’t intentionally kill you but it is very possible

Since everything he does is planned and meticulous, if he were to succumb to his rage then even he couldn’t say what he might do

But that would never happen so no need to worry!

Do they see you as above them, beneath them, or equal to them?

Jade already sees everyone who isn’t a merperson as being below him, but you’re a human and you can’t even use magic. How much more pathetic can you get?

So yes, you are definitely far below him

Really, you should be thankful you have him to watch over you. First you were relying totally on Crowley and since you clearly can’t take care of yourself, surely Jade is the lesser of two evils, right?

He mostly treats you as a pet/ science experiment but that doesn’t mean he’s a total monster

Since Jade can sustain himself on the shrimp bar at the dining hall, he usually uses his free staff meal at Mostro Lounge to bring you something nice if he’s so inclined

Otherwise you’ll share his food which is mostly raw shrimp (yum)

In his endless kindness, he also takes you to the pool in the middle of the night so you can get your exercise

“You humans do tend to accumulate fat quite quickly, don’t you?”

Don’t think you have any chance of escape once your in the water. Jade is in there in his eel form and there is no universe in which you can outswim Jade

How determined are they for you to love them? How hard will they try to make it happen? Or are they content just having you?

It would be a pleasant surprise if you were to start loving him, but he’s not expecting it by any means

He himself probably wouldn’t tell you that he loves you until a year passes. He also wouldn’t believe you if you said it back, at least the first hundred times. He might have some trust issues

Once he does believe that you love him then he’ll use your feelings to find new and interesting ways to torture you

What do you mean you don’t want to clean the floor with a toothbrush? Don’t you want him to be happy?

He always believed that love was a weakness but your love for him gives him power. Who is he to deny you?

Bonus: Is there anything that makes them unique, in comparison to other yanderes?

Sadism

Among all the yanderes at nrc, Jade is pretty much unmatched. The only ones who may even hold a candle to him would be Idia and maybe Riddle on a bad day

But Jade is mean as a yandere. You are a worthless, magicless human. You’re lucky he even bothers to give you the time of day

Another unique aspect of his is his relationship with his brother

Jade would move mountains for Floyd and vice versa so if Floyd is having a bad day and needs to let off some steam then Jade will graciously volunteer you

Jade does like having you for himself so it wouldn’t be a very frequent occurrence. Not to mention that your body probably couldn’t handle being Floyd’s punching bag very often

But Jade is sure to remind you afterwards that you’re so lucky to be his toy instead of his brothers. You should be thanking him, really

General perverseness: how sexual of a person are they? What’s their drive like? How touchy do they get? Do they have any reservations about sexuality?

Jade is really not a super sexual person. For him, sex is the most vulnerable he could possibly be and he is not about that

But he’s more than willing to torture you! He’ll tie you to the bed with a vibrator pressed against your clit until you pass out in a pool of your own cum. Only then when he knows he’s safe will he relieve himself

He mainly uses sex as a punishment for you but sometimes when he’s fed up with Azul or he took on a bigger workload when Floyd was pouting, he’ll take his frustrations out on you

He ensures his safety by completely tying you up with either handcuffs or rope, leaving you entirely at his mercy

While full on sex is very rare with Jade, it’s enough to leave you worn out for days on end. Even if you could escape, you doubt your legs could carry you

How forceful are they? Do they care about your willingness?

Couldn’t care less. You’re his toy so why should he even bother caring about what you want? Kick and scream all you want but that will only make it worse for you in the long run

He actually thinks it’s quite cute when you put up a fight. He’s a natural predator so of course he’ll win in the end. If he’s feeling extra mean he might even let you think that you’ve won for a second

The game is over if you actually manage to land a hit on him, though. Obviously you won’t do any damage, but he’ll need to remind you of your place if you start to get too bold

If you do play along then he won’t have to hurt you too badly, but where’s the fun in that?

What sort of kinks or fetishes do they have, or would they fill?

We know that Jade messes around with a lot of different plants and potions but when he found one combination that had you on your knees begging him to fuck you, that definitely unlocked something in him

The sight of you so desperate for him just over one little potion is something he could easily get used to

Hes really just into anything that results in you crying, covered in marks from him and begging him to stop

Maybe the biggest thing that gets him worked up is the sight and taste of your blood. His razor sharp teeth are perfect for drawing little droplets of blood wherever he decides to bite down

He tries not to indulge himself too often because when he gets a taste of you his instincts kick in and urge him to keep going until you’re bruised and bloody and on the brink of death

What kind of (nsfw) punishments would they use?

If you weren’t confined to his room then he would definitely like to publicly humiliate you. Unfortunately, he’ll have to make do with just humiliating you in front of himself and Floyd on occasion

One of his most common punishments is marking you. Mostly hickeys, but you probably also have his initials carved into you somewhere

Pretty much any sexual punishment you can think of is something that he would do. Overstim, impact play, edging, nothing is really off the table

He’s also threatened to breed you a few times. Jade hates kids and never would risk getting you pregnant, but he thinks it’s funny how scared you get

What body parts of their darling do they like the most?

Though he has been exposed to legs for two years now, they still fascinate him which is part of the reason your thighs are his favorite part of you

He also likes the fact that you don’t have many important arteries in your thighs so he can bite down as hard as he wants without risking you bleeding out. You humans really are so fragile

You will probably never see your thighs original skin color again because they’re always covered in new and old bruises

LoL fan design - Broodmother Nixale #1

"I am Skarner of Clan Ọ̀pal-hin, progeny of Broodmother Nixalẹ, and I will be your undoing!"

Not all female brackerns are broodmothers. Most may give birth to one to four clutches of bracklings in their lifetime and leave them to fend for themselves ("ra-xul" [ra-SHUL], orphan born). These females spend the rest of their lives wandering the vast Underwell of Runeterra and taking part in vicious territorial disputes among clans.

Broodmothers ("raanda hin", great mother) take the task of raising the next generation(s) very seriously and make great sacrifices to achieve that goal. Almost all clans have at least one broodmother and while they are never the leaders, they are cherished and well-respected members whom every other brackern guards from hostile clans. This protection isn't just out of respect for the great mothers - they are actually far more vulnerable than regular brackern.

To become a broodmother is to sacrifice their titanic might for the good of their broods, and transform their thick nigh-unbreakable armor into a hollowed-out shell which forms caves and nooks, and provides shelter for the numerous offsprings of their own, and sometimes even a few lucky ra-xul. These holes make the broodmother exceptionally weak to crushing forces, which just happens to be the favorite mode of attack of brackern in general.

Taking out an opposing clan's broodmother(s) means a terrible blow to both morale and to their next generation, making them a prime target during clan wars, unfortunately.

[TBC]

---

So, Big Mama Nixale [nee-SHA-laeh] is on the way, along with some complete speculations about the newly reworked brackern species as a whole! Time for some fan worldbuilding, boys and girls. None of this is official, make no mistake, nor do I make claims it is!

Not gonna lie, I really loved the very first sketch of Nixale, but eventually I have found it better to make her appear more like Skarner, to make sure it is clear they are of the same species, and even the same blood. I ended up really liking the waving shell on her back, they remind me of skirt folds almost, which would fit a motherly figure well, I believe.

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 14: DREAM CATCHER - Episode 13: Because We're With Our Friends

Ibuki: << The hamburg steak, pancakes and fries are for over here. Thank youuu. >>

Ibuki: Woah~ I’m seriously grateful you’re getting me dinner just ‘cause I fought off that pickpocket.

Izumi: (They’re wolfing the food down at an amazingly fast pace…)

Ibuki: << Oh, I’d like another 5 servings of fries. >>

Ibuki: You guys want any?

Kumon: Oh, sure~

Misumi: I’ll eat the triangle fries~!

Ibuki: << Make that 7. >>

Izumi: 5 of those are for themself…

Yuki:  They ordered the same amount a while ago and ate it all.

Kazunari: You really do eat well, Ibukichi~

Muku: “Really”?

Kumon: Ibukichi’s known for their big appetite. They also upload food challenge videos, and they all blow up.

Ibuki: Potatoes are seriously so good! Potatoes FTW!

Tenma: So, what are you doing in the US?

Ibuki: I came to see my Nee-chan who’s studying here. I learned English while at it, too.

Muku: So that’s why you can speak English so well.

Ibuki: If you wanna be world-famous, you gotta have a global reach, and knowing English is a must!

Yuki: Heeh… You thought this through.

Ibuki: Duh! Can’t go around wasting even a second of my life.

Ibuki: You only live once, and you’re the protag of your own life. That’s why I focus on making myself shine most.

Ibuki: I gotta go all out if I wanna make my dreams come true.

Kumon: How nice~ I’d be able to enjoy musicals even more if I knew English.

Kazunari: Have you seen any musicals or plays while staying here, Ibukichi?

Ibuki: Liike I saaiid, I’ve got no interest in acting.

Ibuki: Time is money nowadays, and you want me to pay real money just to sit there? No thanks.

Ibuki: You can 2x a movie or a drama, but you can’t do that with live theater~

Izumi: (I see, so that’s how the youth nowadays thinks.)

Tenma: Then how come you know MANKAI Company?

Ibuki: I know someone who’s obsessed with you.

Ibuki: I watched a performance that was being streamed for free a while back cause he rec'd it like crazy, but all the actors were unknown hags.

Ibuki: And I’m not really into historical stuff. 

Yuki: Could’ve been the performance with first gen.

Izumi: I guess those performances were a bit more adult oriented.

Muku: But there are all sorts of plays, so you might eventually find something to your liking.

Kumon:  You might also change your mind completely if you watch it in the theater instead of streaming it!

Ibuki: Hm~ Then, let’s turn the question around, what’s so good about theater?

Muku: Eh?

Kumon: When you ask it like that, it’s hard to sum it up in a few words…

Ibuki: When you work independently, you get to decide what to do and when you want to do it, and you can change your mind on the fly.

Ibuki: But you’ve got a script when acting, so you can’t change anything up, right? Ain’t that boring?

Ibuki: And having to get along with the others in the company sounds like a real hassle.

Tenma: It’s exactly because you’re not alone that you can create things you wouldn’t be able to create by yourself.

Kumon: Right, right! It’s like it takes you to places you’d never imagine!

Kazunari: It's super hype when you get into it~! I think that's a feeling you can't experience when you're by yourself.

Yuki: When I look back to when I was the only one who wore my self-designed outfits, I think my world was much smaller than it is now.

Misumi: Acting with everyone is the most fun!

Muku: Anything we can’t overcome by ourselves, we can overcome together, and then we can move on to the next challenges.

Tenma: Most importantly, I love the plays I put on together with these guys.

Kazunari: TenTen…!

Misumi: Me too~!

Kumon: I feel that way too!

Ibuki: Huuuh…?

Tenma: You’ll probably get what I mean when you make friends like this, too.

Ibuki: …

Cars Headcanon Drabbles: Doc Hudson

What follows is a summary of Doc's pre-racing life for a fanfiction I'm working on. I tried my best to work in existing canon where applicable. Enjoy!

Samuel James "Hudson" Longhauler Jr. (factory designation HH19512C308CU11211938: Cycle 9, Rotation 152, Batch 1A)--known as "Doc" Hudson to the denizens of Radiator Springs, or just "Hud" to his friends and loved ones--is a three-time, Piston Cup champion whom raced under the moniker "the Fabulous Hudson Hornet" between 1951 and 1954. He was sired by Diesel O'Twill and Annette Elizabeth Longhauler nee Glenrunner, despite the latter being married to Samuel Joseph Longhauler at the time. He was manufactured at the Hudson Motor Car Company Factory in Detroit, Michigan on 11/21/1938, and is modeled in the likeness of an Old World 1951 Hudson Hornet club coupe.

Hud grew up in Dawsonville, Georgia (a small-town northeast of Atlanta). His mother began teaching him internal combustion at four as he had a natural talent for engines, and a keen eye for catching ailments before they became big problems. His grandfather and his uncles also taught him how to make moonshine, something that he'd take advantage of when he was older.

Hud was highly intelligent…probably one of the smartest kids in town…but restless.  He would quickly master any topic that he felt was relevant to him…and then check out.  As a student, he skipped classes that didn’t interest him, and he was constantly being sent to the principal’s office for arguing with his teachers.  He loved mechanical engineering, and could spend hours tearing apart various types of engines and cadaver parts to figure out how they worked…but the chaotic environment of the garage was too overwhelming, so he began to spend more and more time causing trouble with his friends, and exploring the woods around Dawsonville. 

During Hud’s seventh-year growth spurt his adolescent two-cylinder engine grew into an in-line four capable of putting out 120 horsepower. He was in a league of his own, and he began to sneak out at night, racing the logging roads, and wreaking havoc around town.  By the time he was nine, Hud had served hundreds of hours of community service as reparations for various offenses including, but not limited to, reckless driving, petty theft, ethanol possession with intent to sell, disturbing the peace, vandalism, and trespassing.  His family tried to talk sense into him, but the only person who could seemingly get through was his mother, and even then, she could barely keep him in line.

In October of '47, he stumbled across a group of whiskey trippers hiding out in the woods north of Dawsonville. The trippers mistook Hud for a cop…and almost killed him…but he managed to convince their leader, an Oldsmobile named "Ghost," that he was just a curious kid.  They apologized, and invited him to rest at their camp…but unbeknownst to everyone, the local police and the ATF had both been tipped off about the gang's whereabouts…and were closing in. Fortunately for the trippers, Hud knew the farm and logging roads better than he knew his own family, and with his guidance, he and the the gang managed to evade the police, pausing to catch their breath well south of town.  Hud knew if he returned to Dawsonville, he’d have to explain himself to the town sheriff--who had been a part of the chase--and his family…and he couldn’t guarantee that his family’s reputation would keep him out of jail…so he decided to follow Ghost to Thomasville where he became a full member of the Still Chasers under the employ of a mechanic, and AARC team owner, named Smokey.

In May of '50, Smokey found himself in a bind when his primary driver was injured before an important race.  With all of his alts out for various reasons, Smokey was desperate, going so far as to offer a rare favor if Ghost could help him out.  Ghost volunteered Hud.  Initially, the twelve-year-old coupe was un-enthused, but Ghost persuaded him to race. Despite finishing fifth, Hud impressed Smokey so much that he offered him a spot on his team, and Hud would leave the Still Chasers so that he could spend the rest of the year training.  In 1951, Hud would go on to claim thirteen wins AND the championship title.  He would win additional champion titles in 52’ and 53’, and amass an unprecedented 65 victories through the 54’ season…though that one would be cut short by a near fatal wreck during the Fireball Beach 350.  It took a full year for Hud to get put back together, and he went back to Thomasville expecting a big welcome…but was shocked to discover that the new team owners (Smokey sold the team in 53’) had replaced Hud with a younger, faster car.

Hud’s world shattered.  He felt betrayed by Smokey, thinking that, as team 51's crew chief, he would have been part of the decision to have Hud replaced. In truth, Smokey had never been consulted and would ultimately resign from the team in protest.

Hud tried reaching out to Ghost...but it was like his friend had vanished off the face of the Earth.  He assumed that Ghost had written him off after his accident, when in reality, the tripper had been killed by the ATF in 54'.

He called the garage, hoping to talk to his mother…but ended up getting his uncle James…who told him about how the ATF locked down Dawsonville the night he disappeared, tearing apart his home and the family garage trying to find him. But instead of finding him, they found his grandfather's still. His grandfather and his uncles were arrested, and Hud's mother worked herself near to death trying to keep the business afloat with only Sam to help her...and her health never recovered.  James angrily blamed Hud for everything, told him to not bother coming home, and hung up on him.  What Hud didn’t know was that his grandfather had heard the last part of the conversation and tried to call him back…but Hud was already on his way out of town, heartbroken.

Not knowing what to do or where to go, he drove to Detroit, hoping to either disappear into obscurity, or start over.  Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t able to do either.  No matter where he went, people kept asking for autographs, or challenging him to races… and even hiding behind a contemporary paint job couldn’t save him the pain of having to think about what he lost in Thomasville.  He would eventually leave Detroit and head west, taking in the sights of Route 66. He helped out a stranded car in Carburetor County, Arizona, and in so doing stumbled upon a series of oddly ironic billboards.  Curious, he followed them to the Mechanical School of Carburetor County and, with no other options available, enrolled in classes to become a Doctor of Internal Combustion.  He finished at the top of his class, and with a newfound sense of purpose swelling in is engine, used the money that he'd made racing to open a clinic in the nearby town of Radiator Springs. 

Additional factoids: 

He resented his father, Sam, for being away from the house so much, and part of his acting out as a kid was in the hopes that it would encourage Sam to take a more active role in raising him.

He never knew that Ghost was his sire until after he mended bridges with Smokey.

He had a half-sister (Sandra Carlton) whom was sired by Ghost and Cassie Carlton (the scout for the Still Chasers). He never met her, nor was he ever made aware of her existence.

Was gay, and was quite the playboy in his early adult years.

When the Still Chasers were in town for some R&R, Hud would don an opulent paint job--usually some shade of blue--with expensive, white-wall tires...and then head on over to the nearest bar to drink and socialize.

He gave himself the nickname "The Fabulous Hudson Hornet" after getting separated from the rest of the Still Chasers outside of Jacksonville, FL and somehow managing to evade an entire ATF task force and police from three, separate counties.

He had a best-friends-with-benefits-esque relationship with Sheriff until his passing in '09.

He had degrees in Clinical Aerodynamics and Internal Hydraulics in addition to his Doctorate in Internal Combustion.

With Lightning's support, he would eventually find, and make amends with, his surviving family members (his grandfather and his uncle James).

Loved 1960’s rock and roll.

Making OCs Out of the KNB Cast's Canon Family Members Part 1

For those who don't know, we were actually given the GoM's canon family members from the creator via a Q + A. However, we didn't get any names or designs, so for years I've wanted to come up with some of my own. Well I finally started and to kick it off, we have the Kuroko family!

Family Tree + detailed profiles below cut! If you have any ideas for names, professions, personalities, etc... for the other characters family members (linked above), please let me know in the replies, tags, ask box, etc! There's so many....

Canon Facts: 

The immediate family consists of Tetsuya, his mother, father, and grandmother. They 4 live together in a small home. 

Tetsuya inherited his looks and invisibility from his mother and personality traits from his father. 

“Tetsuya” is one of the few names in the series written in katakana, not kanji.

My Headcanons: 

For the GoM, I like to imagine the colored hair is a paternal trait since the color is in the family name inherited from the father (Aka, Mido, Murasaki, Ki, Ao, etc). This would mean the colored hair is a dominant trait also (in this fantasy world lol). Kuroko is a fun exception here, as “Kuro” means “black” and we know canonically he resembles his mother in appearance. So, I imagine his mother was the one with some nod to the color “light blue” in her maiden name. 

I imagine Kuroko’s mother’s side writes their given names in katakana not kanji, just as he does. 

We don’t know which grandmother he lives with, paternal or maternal, so for here, I decided to go with maternal, so she’s technically not a “Kuroko”. I originally came up with his paternal grandmother first, but after some thought, I feel like his father’s side would be a lot more traditional and such, so the maternal grandmother would fit more in terms of the household living situation. Basically, Grandma Kuroko’s a lot more picky than Grandma Mizumoto. However, I still came up with the paternal grandma and kinda loved her whole vibe, so I decided to make a design for her too.

Kuroko Nobutaka (黒子 信考) - 

Tetsuya’s father, whom he refers to as “Otou-san” (equivalent of saying “father”). His given name means “faith/belief” + “consider/ponder”. A thoughtful and kind man, though hard for others to read. He can be a bit of an airhead and often gets lost in his own thoughts. He works as a professor of philosophy + ancient literature at a local university. Has a lot of published papers and often goes away to conferences and such. Is inept at cooking, so resorts to take-out when he and his son are left to fend for themselves (much to his mother-in-law and wife’s displeasure). Despite his bookish appearance + line of work, he’s quite into sports (particularly baseball, though basketball and golf come as close seconds). His wife has the ability to bring him out of his shell + also seemingly read his thoughts, which is why he fell for/noticed her to begin with when they met in college.

Kuroko Terumi 黒子 テルミ (nee Mizumoto  水本) - 

Tetsuya’s mother, whom he refers to as “Okaa-san” (equivalent of saying “mother”). Like her son, writes her given name in katakana, but in hiragana it’s written as 光海 and means “light” + “sea”. A cheerful, yet oddly invisible woman, she passed down her low presence to her only son. She and Nobutaka met when she moved across the country for university. She works for a publishing firm. She used to be very shy growing up which didn’t help with her invisibility, so ever since high school, she tries to make up for her low presence by being more expressive and out-going than the other members of her family, to rather moderate success. She’s well respected and rather high ranking at her job, which makes her busier than she would like to be for her son’s sake.

Mizumoto Yuuka (水本 ユウカ) - 

Tetsuya’s maternal grandmother and Terumi’s mother. Writes given name in katakana but in kanji its 佑寡 meaning “assistance” + “widow”. “Mizumoto” means “water” + “true”. Shortly after her husband died and sometime before her grandson was born, she came to live with her daughter and son-in-law to help around the house and has been with them ever since. She's an extroverted, affable woman and often has social gatherings with friends. Is a very good cook and makes meals for the whole family. Very self-sufficient and while not gone as frequently as her daughter and son-in-law, she's often taking trips with her friends. When she’s away, Tetsuya lives off of boiled eggs and MajiBurger, much to her displeasure, so she tries to plan meals in advance. Surprisingly tech savvy, so records all of Tetsuya’s broadcasted matches and keeps track of Seirin’s stats for the rest of the family when they can’t make it to a match (which is frequently since their jobs keep them so busy). Loves her grandson and has referred to him as Tsu-chan since birth.

Kuroko Tetsuya (黒子 テツヤ) -

An only child. He inherited his looks and lack of presence from his mother and learned his calm nature from his father. His parents are very loving (with many family photo-filled scrapbooks lining their shelves and constant communication through text) but are workaholics and his grandmother is quite lively and social for her age, so he’s been fairly independent since early on. Though he doesn’t see them often, he gets along well with his paternal grandparents, despite them being startled by him often because of his lack of presence.   

Kuroko Tsukimi (黒子 月美) (nee Kokuyōseki 黒曜石) -

Tetsuya’s paternal grandmother, Tetsuya refers to her as “Obaa-san” (equivalent of saying “grandmother”). Her given name means “moon” + “beauty”. Her maiden name Kokuyōseki means “obsidian” (black stone). (a dark gemstone to represent her dark hair and formal upbringing/personality). She’s rather no-nonsense and holds tight to traditional values. Slightly estranged from her son and his family, but they keep in contact as frequently as they can through writing. She and her grandson get along when in each other’s company as she admires his good manners (which she helped instill in his early childhood, when she and her son’s family were closer). Lives in the countryside with her husband. Insists on writing her grandson’s name in kanji. 

Kuroko Yoshiki (黒子 吉城) - 

Tetsuya’s paternal grandfather. His given name means “fortune” + “fortress”. A stoic, stern-faced man. He used to work for one of the oldest book printers in the country, but has since retired. The Kuroko family is known for their dark black hair that doesn’t fade, even in old age (though Tetsuya is the first to not inherit this trait, taking after his mother). Always watching some kind of documentary on a variety of random topics, which his grandson doesn’t mind joining in on when he comes to visit. Has a bad leg. Lives in the countryside with his wife. Wears the thickest lenses you've ever seen and often causes Tetsuya to worry about his own eyesight.

Mizumoto Tetsuhide (水本 テツヒデ) -
