#if u could not tell i do in fact have a type haha... ha... a...

[baeshijima]

KURO WHAT ARE THESE QUESTIONS OMG ???

[truly-a-snitch]

reader who likes to bite people. I bite people. I wanna bite Dazai. I wanna bite Ranpo.

real nonnie. sorry this is a million years late i was depressed. enjoy your boys

---

Dazai and Ranpo w/ an S/O that bites

Dazai

i think dazai isnt necessarily the type to bite back but he certainly isnt DISCOURAGING it

like hell play along and go "wow do i taste good" or very dramatically put a hand to his forehead and go "nooo youve eaten me... now im dying... blehhhh"

one thing he likes to do is let you rest your head in his lap while hes watching tv or something and you can gnaw on his hand/fingers

he makes jokes about it. if other people see hell go like "haha yeah thats what the bandages are actually for" because hes lame like that

i think hes used to it tbh. between chuuya and atsushi i think hes been bitten his fair share of times so it isnt particularly NEW for him. hes not questioning it at least

sometimes he uses it as an excuse why hes not working. like kunikida will grill him about it and hell just be like "i cant my s/o bit me"

keeps asking you to bite him harder ?? and hes kinda markiplier pilled about it where hes insisting he just wants to see how much his body can take and that it is most certainly not masochism

honestly i could see him getting a bite mark tattoo. like specifically of your teeth print. but itd take him a LONG time to come around to that idea bc of his aversion to pain

i think hes a big like. teeth/bone guy. ykwim. like the kind of guy who collects animal bones and teeth he finds. sorry that was an unrelated thought i had

if you had a bad day hes 100% just holding his arm out so you can bite him btw

Ranpo

bites back 100%

this man has the strongest oral fixation ive ever seen and you expect him NOT to be a biter ?? no such luck

hes gnawing on your cheek when he wants attention. when you start doing that sort of thing back hes ecstatic

BIG sensory seeker !! even if its pain !! (pain stimmers unite btw) hes for sure chewing on you everywhere he can feasibly reach

you dont even have to talk him into a bitemark tattoo btw he probably suggests it tbh

its a game for u two. you guys could kiss and then if you bite him he has to bite you back and suddenly you guys have been chewing on each other for like 10 minutes and hulu is like "are you still watching white lotus"

shows off hickies and other bite-shaped bruises as badges of honor and 100% does the like. "shouldve seen the other guy" thing

he doesnt really bite hard necessarily (unless you specifically tell him he can) but he does bite a LOT. like way more than you do

to him biting is just How You Show Love because hes always done it with fukuzawa and his friends at the agency, so it makes sense to bite you as well, but the fact that you bite back does make him a bit flustered bc like. the only person to bite back was atsushi and that was an accident because he startled atsushi

probably also gets you candy in case you need to sate your oral fixation in other ways

dean: sorry, just woke up.

you: ehh, don’t have to be. i’m actually super awake anyway.

dean: [1 attachment]

[ image description : a tanned hand holding onto a half eaten pack of cayenne beef jerky, with his shoes in the background. It looks like he’s in his car. on the top right corner of the picture there’s some handwritten text, very hard to read but roughly says ‘dnt frgt, bitch’. ]

you: be honest.

do you just not check your contact ever? 

go eenie meenie miney mo and press send? i won’t be mad, i just want the truth.

dean: shit shit shit.

i have no idea how this keeps happening.

you: it’s okay, i don’t mind.

dean: you don’t?

you: i’m actually very very bored right now so yes, i don’t mind. work is kicking my ass so thanks for the distraction.

dean: work?

you: yep! i sadly have rent. pa at my old uni.

dean: that’s fun

how old are you?

you: how old are YOU?

dean: yeah you might need to answer first.

you: no way

dean: fine, whatever. 36.

you: hi grandpa.

i’m twenty six.

dean: you’re only ten years younger.

you: and yet i’m wiser.

dean: now that’s just not true.

you: and how would you know? i’m very wise, ask any of my friends.

dean: and how many friends do you have?

you: so many.

like a whole 2.

dean: wow. impressive.

you: okay mr. stranger. how many friends do you have then?

and i’m not talking like people you like to have around i’m talking FRIENDS.

dean: two.

but i’m older, circle of friends thins with age, you’re still young.

you: honestly not that much younger, but yeah, i don’t know. mostly still have my sister though so that’s what’s matters. 

dean: yeah, i get that. 

you: you’re close with your brother?

dean: yes, we work together.

you: really? that’s so cool! my sister’s like four years younger than me so as much as i would kill to work with her, we’re not at the same level.

dean: sam’s four years younger than me too. but there isn’t much of a difference between us. at a certain age it’s all just the same.

you: i totally get what you’re saying.

okay, dean i need to go because said sister is screaming at me, but!! if i ever see you texting me cause of a wrong number situation again i will get so angry, okay?

dean: yes ma’am.

you: whatever, stupid.

dean: hey, saw your number in bobby’s phone today. you’re a hunter?

you: a what?

dean: you don’t have to pretend, i’m a hunter too. i know why you didn’t tell me but i would’ve though you heard of me.

you: okay… why? are you popular? notorious? i’ve never heard of you before you texted me, dean.

and how do you even know bobby?

dean: how do you know him?

you: a friend of a friend. and bobby’s a mechanic, what the hell is he doing with a hunter.

dean: sorry, i think it got it wrong. he used to hunt with my dad and i do it professionally now. but i would’ve thought you heard about my dad, i meant. him and bobby used to be close.

you: who’s your dad?

dean: john winchester.

you: never heard of him. i’ve heard of dean winchester though. 

dean: really?

you: yes. i mean there’s like a thousand deans so i didn’t wanna assume but bobby used to talk about you and sam. he’s always doing something for the two of you. 

dean: we hunt lots of wild animals, we usually need his help.

you: right. because bobby’s the most flexible person on the planet.

dean: research wise. we need him research wise. 

you: okay. what were you doing there? and why’d you just assume i hunt too? i already told you i’m a pa.

dean: i don’t know, i just assumed. me and sammy went to pick up some stuff for another hunt we’re going on next week.

you: in a few days?

dean: yeah, on monday.

you: be careful please.

and have fun, i guess. mostly be careful.

dean: we will. tell bobby i say hi when you see him next time.

you: will do. and i’ll also ask for baby pictures. 

dean: ha ha

you: isn’t it the craziest coincidence that you texted me? what’s that about? what are the odds we end up having a mutual friend?

dean: I know a lot of people, it’s not that crazy to me.

night.

you: night, dean.

you: [1 attachment]

[ image description : a stray cat sitting on your lap, her head snuggled into your shirt, your hand stroking her fur, the new pink nail set obvious on your manicured hand. under the cat is your mini skirt with see through tights. ]

dean: new leggings?

you: you asshole

isn’t she so cute?

dean: someone’s cute alright

you: not funny

you lost pic privileges.

also you’re working? and texting? 

when will you ever learn, dean.

dean: how about never? 

besides, you worry too much, i’m more than okay. 

you: tell sam hi for me and to keep an eye out for you because you’re going to get yourself eaten

dean: eaten?

you: wild animals are no joke.

dean: oh yeah, that’s what i heard too.

thank god i have you to tell sammy to take care of me.

you: take care please.

dean: don’t doubt it.

dean: i think you’re asleep.

that would probably make a lot of sense cause it’s three in the morning

but i guess i needed to talk to you

you: me?

dean: hey why are you awake?

you: cause i have insomnia 

why are you awake?

dean: just got home

do you actually?

you: no, just drank too much redbull trying to finish correcting these stupid papers. tell me what you wanted to talk about.

dean: yeah but i thought you’d be asleep

you: would it be better if i shut my phone off and wait for you to finish before i read it?

dean: no it’s fine

but you’re sweet for offering, angel

you: thank you

or whatever

dean: yeah, so you wanna hear it or not?

you: yes please

dean: remember jo?

you: your girlfriend?

dean: we tried going on one date but her mum didn’t approve and honestly i think she only liked me because of the whole off limits thing. she’s a great girl but our dads had problems so maybe it translated to how she viewed me. i’m not sure, i just know she’s gone now.

you: so you guys were together? ever since you texted me thinking i’m her?

dean: yeah. not together together, but i went out with her. i tried giving her what she wants but her mother is so hell bent on making her hate me and i don’t wanna bridge a gap between them. she’s her mother.

you: right because mums are the most important people in the world.

dean: i loved my mum.

i still think about her everyday.

you: oh dean, i’m so sorry. 

dean: it’s fine. anyway, how was your day?

you: was okay. i’ll go to sleep. good night, dean. 

dean: oh, night.

dean: ha, sam says he saw you at bobby’s

for the love of my impala tell me that it isn’t true. my baby brother could not have seen you before i did.

you: yeah, i met him. he’s really nice. told me about your contractor job. seemed really interesting. also told me about how you talked about me, mentioned that my name came up when you were asking for help with your car. apparently i’m a mechanic now.

dean: fuck, angel.

i’m sorry.

you: no problem at all.

dean: look i can explain everything. i promise.

you: no thanks

Waddup B) . Another general reading

1 2

3 4

1. Ice cube group

In da house!! Haha I feel like y'all in da energy of being bout yo money. Or the color green is significant. Shoot y'all might be about the green rn if u kno . This doesn't have to be a super conscious thing a lot of you either way though are in the energy of richness like that so you gonna be attracting money or it's because you're destined to be prosperous at this time or in the near future like that. For some of you it's because you're supposed to use that to help get rid of some form of negativity in the past some how. Others of you should consider getting a new pet if that will make your heart happy you know or confirmation if that's what u been thinking bout. Spirit wants you to make sure you're open to receiving at this time and in the future though cause some of you have an imbalance were you're a bit too humble maybe struggling with your own worth and self perception and this is making me feel sad so I'm really sorry and you guys need to maybe use your logic to conclude it's only the truth that you're a human with a good heart that deserves good things and anyone who ever told you other wise..... Is tripping like they're wrong and delusional and probably a hurt person anyway. If your childhood was bad you're manifesting a lot to replace stuff from all that time and make up for it and stuff and you all are just heavily in a deep great energy I can see y'all auras are mostly either green , blue and a very few of you purple. One specific person has some red. Make sure you stay in touch with your feelings though as I can see how the world might be making you a bit numb or you feel like a bit depressed actually when it comes to the fact that things constantly happen like , in the past I've been depressed and contemplated like how could it be that I have to drink water then go to the bathroom over and over again and it would wear me down thinking about it. It's good to practice having control over your own mental and perspectives ok. Just hella green and gold so wealth wealth money $$ . One love

2. Group KORN !!

You guys are winners in my book . I don't even know why I felt I had to say that . If you actually listen to Korn, while either way you got to listen to their first two albums you know... After that they were cloned for sure just saying . Ok anyway ...

You might catch something right in time whatever that might mean. This could be anything it depends on the individual, someone saying something, something falling almost, idk.if that does happen it must also be a confirmation of something. So I'm seeing a complete ending and then a revival. This group is somehow dealing with the general concept of time ... I'm seeing for some of you this is all past energy some of you right now some of you the future this could even be like way in the future ok. So it just depends . Someone most likely am adult male is speaking well on you and possibly other people you care about or can be related to yourself. This is looking good for your reputation and it might even be saving your reputation. U know what for a few of you this could be someone that's catching something right on time that's what that is for you . Something about something working and smoothly at that, or a job or you working with someone . This could be someone you know from work. Looks like they love you like they have love for you and a lot of other people , this is someone with a good heart even if you can't tell by their personality . Something's " falling apart " I heard and someone's getting away smoothly from anything affecting them . There's an energy of some type of trick being played or more so just an attempt at that. Maybe some type of verbal communicative manipulation. Maybe trying to convince someone to do something they shouldn't like join a group, sign a contract, say something wrong or that can be taken out of context so be careful but I see it being a separate energy that just has no place anywhere and is kind of awkward lol. I got 3 7's . Be careful of deceit at this time and moving forward. Especially regarding people's words and your own. People might be analyzing you or someone else or a situation . I'm getting almost like an investigation for some of you maybe a real investigation . Like the feds even. Especially if by the time you're reading this this as an older post. Holy f*********** I picked up another deck started shuffling and a card that says I investigation popped right out and a little magnifying glass I drew it's also an orange card like I d***n near wanna take a picture and show you guys. Strangely the other card I got is cult

So this is super deep in some way some form of group of people, big or small, serious or silly, depends on who is reading, has attempted to silence someone. I'm guessing a great majority of you it's you that was or is trying to be silenced. I'm getting the metaphor... If you can call it that this isn't even a metaphor I just don't even know I'm kind of appalled cause what I'm getting is that like if you like just decided ok this one needs to go to another life not stay on earth you know so they took something away and try to deprive them of something so either that happens or so that they do not have the energy , capacity, capability of being able to speak the truth but guess what that's the desert card and after that I have the wave card so not just here's a glass of water let's throw you in the ocean and let a wave roll over you ... Metaphorically for whatever you were being deprived of...... And also a card that says break through which also has rain in it :) . So this is gonna hit really fast cause of course that's the universes will. It's kind of like actually a miracle type of energy im even getting the word biblical and also maybe the story of the guy who parted the red sea or together is significantly sorry I should remember his name I read the bible 300 times as a kid haha. But, you guys this is really good the final two cards are the ace of sword , y'all know that's the truth, and four of pentacles so I feel in my heart chakra specifically a sense of calm and that everything is gonna be set right and you'll be feeling good and a there's a good amount about stability. Maybe church is significant to someone. Or a house of worship I don't know. Or a house in general too for some of you. Or a bulldozer ..? Also substantial evidence for a very few of you .

3. No Doubt !!!!

You guys might be family oriented, live with your family, I can pick up on some people's energy of a kind of busy household maybe the sound of pets nails on a hard floor (cute I miss that with having dogs )

Do not drink any open drinks at this time whoever I'm talking to you wouldn't expect this either you trust someone who would do something or you wouldn't expect it of the brand...or something I don't know I don't want to make anyone paranoid just keep your drink on you in your sight or drink unopened ones you know . I can also sense baked chicken I think or grilled you know when it's not fried or anything though ?? You think someone is loyal to you also if you have a dog this is significant. Im getting calm energy somewhat I think spirits around you are in that and trying to stay around you and have that energy around you :) honestly someone around you might be dangerous this isn't a matter of you getting paranoid this would , if it is true for you, be a matter of you coming to terms with something you've probably had hints about for a prolonged period. Maybe since you were young or it's multiple people even for someone else that this also resonates for. Y'all feel really cool like you investigate things kind of like a mystery vibe it's dope . Rainy days and cabins maybe you can dig that or that's what you give other people if they can read energy well. The things you might be into or interested in in the past too might be significant and spirit considered it to have been or be technically research y'all are really smart don't let anyone block you or stop you from anything ? . For real. Yep y'all are super cool and a smaller group y'all might have anxiety or any big or small issue you should practice breathing exercises. You know I make tea and breath in the air when it's hot it also helps asthma or I placebo that for myself but either way it's nice haha. I'm feeling like my brains working faster you guys are really sharp you might also like caffeine lol me too. You guys are so dope you're like putting together a puzzle or intuitively trying to figure something out and you will this is kind of a destiny situation like I can feel in my heart you guys are just the dopest but seriously w really intelligent pile I feel that something is time restricted , destiny, everything youre supposed to get to and have happen and do and it feels super fast paced and so do you , even if u don't notice cause youre used to it. You also feel like you avoid really negative things as easily as a ghost can avoid a human. Better days a head too even. Your bed is significant somehow . One thing I'll note is you may have to, and if so should sooner than later deal with any negative ideas ever put in your mind about yourself make sure you heal your heart and mind . You're moving so damn fast . Your soul has a PLAN . Like, a mission dudes. It'll all make sense in the end I suppose. Keep going 💯💯💯

4 . The Maiden !!!!!

I feel like you guys have some good philosophy or mentalities in life like you know how to and when to go with the flow. Like picture floating down a river and it's to chill out then you're like alright now I gotta get up and out cause there's a rock that will hit me in three feet. Your intuition might make stuff easier . Sometimes your intuition might surprise you or it would if you pay attention you know. You may get a bit frustrated because you don't get to straight up know the future lol I can relate. To. That.

The movie ice age might have something to do with something or if you remember watching it at any point maybe the memory is significant??,

Or someone you remember watching it with for someone. The universe wants to give you what you want and need but you already seem like a generally content soul just with like yourself existing I noticed from the start this is a super chill group . You guys definitely see danger before it comes. Breathing exercises to the point of deep relaxation might be helpful. You're just not supposed to consciously know the future though I'm not sure why but I guess it would technically like by law mess it up possibly . Remember to be calm , at peace when doing any form of work but also remember work is play deep down just like deep down we're still the kids we once were when we were young , which is a good way to realize every person is not so different and I was going to say also that you should maybe focus somewhat on your relations with other people and your social interactions. Just to sharpen your social skills I guess. There looks like there's chaos around you but I don't see it touching you so you're good . Mellow vibes just enjoy the moment and work on patience and stuff maybe. Working would be beneficial you might get joy out of that even if it's building something or it could even be playing in the woods, going to the store, but I am also getting to go play outside and they want me to say like play like you could go pick up a stick and start digging in the dirt hell kinda sounds like fun . Peace and rock on .

a nonsense christmas

⋆⁺₊❅. pairing: kim minjae x f!reader

⋆⁺₊❅. word count: 4.25k

⋆⁺₊❅. content: MATURE CONTENT AHEAD!!!, fluff, some humor, swearing, strangers to classmates/friends to lovers, more mutual pining, mentions of alcohol, junmin cameo, if u squint this fic and the sumin one are connected lolz, if u couldn’t tell i like writing about kissing, vaginal fingering, face riding haha, minjae has an oral fixation, protected sex (cowgirl position yeehaw), she fell first he fell harder type beat

synopsis: you could see yourself falling for kim minjae and sharing a future with him. and maybe this time next year, you’ll be standing right beside him at this same party.

୨ৎ she’s a little late.. but better late than never amirite!!! thank u @tmrwsuns for being my personal cheerleader the entire writing process i think i might’ve kms’d without u bff 🤍 pls reblog if u liked this!

The annual Kim Minjae Christmas Eve party is something you dread every year. 

Since your first attendance your freshman year of college, something eventful has always happened at that damn party. There was the time your best friend had to go to the ER because she drunkenly tripped, fell, and broke her nose. There was also the time they left, without you, and you had to Uber back to your apartment all alone at one in the morning. Your friends always dragged you to it, though, for tradition’s sake. Unlike the other parties they tried to force you to go to throughout the semester, you didn’t have the excuse of studying for this one. 

Besides, you think Kim Minjae himself might tear the world apart looking for you. 

You knew of him vaguely every year before this one, obviously. But you’d never actually met him at one of his infamous parties, or in person at all for that matter. However, this semester you wound up in the same production course. And, well, let’s just say you started to understand the hype…

Like when you sat next to each other during lecture a couple weeks into the semester, Minjae peeking over at the doodles you were doing over your notes. 

“Those are cute. Are they supposed to be butterflies?” 

You jumped in your seat, caught off guard by the low voice so close to your ear. Minjae grinned at you, sitting back upright. You nodded in response as to not disrupt your classmates who were actually paying attention to the professor. 

“I’m Minjae, by the way.”

Or when he remembered a comment you made in passing about missing a lecture for a concert you were going to with your friends. 

“Wait, why was my absence last week excused?” You muttered to yourself in confusion, eyes scanning the class roster to see the words ‘Excused Absence’ beside your name under last week’s attendance slot.

“I didn’t want you getting points taken off your grade just ‘cause you wanted to have fun,” Minjae answered with a smile that rivaled the stars. “I asked my mom if she could email a doctor’s note to the professor to get it excused for you.”

There were a lot of things that needed to be unpacked. One; he did all that for you? Two; his mom was a doctor? Three; were you dreaming right now??

“You didn’t have to do that��” You said bashfully, initialing under today’s slot. Minjae took the sheet from you when you were done so he could do the same.

“I wanted to.” He shrugged nonchalantly. 

The rest is kind of history. All it took was a couple smiles and you were cooked. In fact, cooked was an understatement. You would be competing against more than half of the girls at your school for his attention. While you had the advantage of being somewhat friends with him, that didn’t exactly mean he felt the same as you did.

“You worry too much.” 

Your best friend comes up behind you at your mirror, shaking your shoulders. You were currently getting ready for the party, pulling out all the stops. Every year, there’s been a different dress up theme. This year it’s famous holiday characters. Sexy Mrs. Claus anyone?

”There’s just a lot at stake here. My ego, my dignity, everything I’ve ever stood for.” You don’t pause as you say this, ensuring your makeup was absolutely perfect. All of which were true. Your pride would be smothered to bits if he rejects you. Any sense of self respect would fly straight out of the window. And you’d be a failure of a person for ignoring your own morals for him. 

“I know, but you’re stressing yourself out for no reason. I think it’s very obvious that he likes you, too, Y/N.” She tries to rationalize with you. You block her out, because no it is not. You can’t read him or what he’s feeling.

And maybe she was kind of right…

When you spot him, he’s dressed as a sexy Santa Claus. The rest of his friends are dressed as his reindeer, one of them even donning a bright red nose. The concept is actually really cute. Yourself as Mrs. Claus and your friend as Cindy Lou Who does not match at all. Not even just in terms of cohesivity. Usually the roles would be switched. You didn’t like to stand out much. 

“You look hot, go talk to him!” She whisper-yells in your ear, nudging you forward. 

Your bottom lip catches between your teeth, fingers laced together behind your back as you nervously make your way across the room. He had just finished taking a shot with his friends when you approached, that sparkle in his pretty boba eyes twinkling even brighter upon seeing you. You have to admit he looks even better up close, the unbuttoned top of the Santa suit revealing a white cutoff t-shirt, doing very little to conceal his lean torso. 

You don’t miss the way he checks you out, dragging his gaze up and down your body. It has the room feeling a little warmer than it was a couple minutes ago. Your fingers stay behind your back, nerves evident by the time you reach him. “Hi.”

Minjae smiles cutely at your shyness, almost cooing at how adorable you are in spite of being dressed so scantily. “Hello, Mrs. Claus.”

“I should’ve known you’d pick the main character for your own party,” you say in reference to his outfit. “I didn’t really think about that when I was picking what I wanted to dress as.”

“Some might call that fate,” he grins something cheeky as he tucks some hair behind your ear. “Honestly, I think I’d be a little bummed out if you hadn’t unintentionally matched with me.”

You’re sure you look like a mess, every flirting comment driving you insane. Maybe he talks like this with all the girls he comes across. You wouldn’t be surprised, given the fact that everyone and their mom wants him. You’re not sure if he does it just to entertain people (or himself) and if he does, well, then you’re stupid. That’s why whatever happens tonight between you is such a big deal. Getting heartbroken by someone known for breaking hearts is more embarrassing than anything else.

You open your mouth to say something, but someone beats you to it, a pretty girl dressed like a sexy elf. “Minjae! There you are! I was beginning to think you stood me up at your own party.”

Minjae looks between her and you, giving you a small frown that you might not have noticed if you weren’t so perceptive. The girl latches onto his arm like a leech, eyeing you with something thick and full of disgust. (Or jealousy, you aren’t too sure, actually.)

“I know what this looks like, Y/N, but I—”

“Have fun at your party, Jae. I’ll see you later.” You interrupt him with a tight-lipped smile, bowing before heading back over to your friend. You feel so dumb. This is what you’d been trying to avoid this entire time. Now you have to do the walk of shame back to your friends.

Not only do you feel like one, but you probably look like a loser, too. Your best friend shakes her head at you when you come into view. You’re confused by her actions, because wouldn’t you think she would feel awful for you? As your personal confidant, she should be hugging you and supplying you with endless alcohol so you could get over this.

She grabs you by the shoulders the second you’re within arms’ reach, staring directly into your eyes. “We are not doing this right now.” 

“Doing what?”

“You’re not gonna stand around here at this party and act all mopey just because some random girl who thinks she has a shot with Minjae wedges her way in. You look too good for that. And besides, if you look over there, you’ll see that he doesn’t even care for her. He was excited to see you. Not her. Now, what you are gonna do is pick one of his friends to make him jealous and finally get him away from her.” She says, holding you firmly. 

“I don’t even know any of his friends like that, though.” You glance back to where they’re all gathered around the beer pong table. 

“I wouldn’t recommend Sumin, ‘cause he and his best friend are so in love with each other it’s kinda sickening. I don’t think they realize it though, so I don’t wanna mess with that. I know the rest of them are single,” she squints her eyes as she observes the nine boys. “Maybe Junmin. He’s really nice and he’s super close with Minjae, so he’s perfect for the job.”

“Why do you know so much about their friend group?” You ask curiously. She sounded so well-versed in the lore behind Kim Minjae and his friends. It was a little concerning, honestly. How much free time did she have to learn all of this information?

“Instagram and I are like this,” she crosses her index and middle fingers. “But enough about that. Are you down with the plan?”

You sigh. Were you really about to go through all this trouble for a guy? You guess so, since you nod before you even register that you’re doing it.

She manages to flag down Junmin just as he passes by. His antlers are slightly lopsided, telling you that he’s probably already tipsy. His cheeks are flushed, another indication of his intoxication. This guy had to be a lightweight or something. He smiles warmly at you both.

“What’s up, guys?” He asks, energy equivalent to that of a puppy being offered a treat.

“We have a proposition for you, Mr. Park.” Your best friend answers, to which Junmin just smiles and nods. 

“How can I be of service?”

“Okay, first things first; how does Minjae feel about Y/N?” She pats your shoulder, gesturing to you as if you weren’t an active member in the conversation. He looks at the two of you as if you’d both grown a second head.

“Do you really have to ask that? It’s kinda obvious that he’s obsessed with her.” Junmin snorts. “I’ve never seen him actually interested in someone the way he is with you. He talks about you every opportunity that he gets. You know that meme that’s like, ‘how can I make this about ‘blank’’? That’s Minjae with you.”

You can’t help the way the corners of your lips curl up. Okay, so maybe you did overreact when that girl came between you earlier. You didn’t let Minjae say anything and explain the situation either. She quickly fills him in on the plan she curated. Junmin is a little apprehensive at first, afraid of making his friend mad when he knows how he feels about you. But after some convincing, he agrees.

“What am I even supposed to do?” His hands stay inside of the pockets of the reindeer onesie he was wearing, scared of touching you, too.

”You don’t have to do much. Just stand by her and laugh at the things she says. If he sees you getting cozy, he’ll have no choice but to drop everything he’s doing and put a stop to it. At least, if he likes her as much as you say he does, that’ll be the case.” She shrugs, turning around to join in on the dance circle your other friends had started without another word.

Junmin sighs, and it’s clear that any and all signs of his inebriation have disappeared. This entire ordeal sobered him up pretty fast. You make the mistake of looking over at Minjae again, accidentally making eye contact. He narrows his eyes at you and Junmin, though nothing has happened yet and he’s merely standing beside you. You instinctively nudge his arm subtly.

The boy shakes his head and rolls his eyes playfully. “Of course he’s already jealous. That’s just like him.”

“You seem really close. How long have you been friends?” You ask to continue the small talk. This way, it won’t be completely awkward. He’s doing you a favor by playing along with your charade, you didn’t have to make it worse by being weird about it.

“I’ve known him since we were freshmen in high school,” he shifts his weight onto one foot. “Which is a little bit longer than everyone else, but not too long either.”

“Junmin, that’s eight years. That is a long time.” You laugh at him, pointing out the fact that his attempt at being nonchalant slightly failed. He scratches the back of his neck with a chuckle. 

“I mean, yeah, I guess you’re right.”

You reach out and hold onto his arm carefully. “Thank you, by the way, for doing this for me. You didn’t have to. I appreciate it.”

“Don’t worry about it,” he waves his hand in front of his face. “It was no problem. In a way I’m doing this for Minjae, too. He has the tendency to put his own happiness aside if he doesn’t think he deserves it.”

Your mouth resembles an upside down crescent moon as he tells you this. “What do you mean?”

“He thinks that you’re too good for him. You know how everyone calls him a heartbreaker and how everyone says he can’t commit. That’s why he hasn’t made a move. He doesn’t want to disappoint you and he thinks you deserve better than someone with that kind of reputation.” Junmin mirrors your expression for a moment, and you can see how much he cares for his friend. It’s heartwarming actually.

Before you can respond, he’s covering the back of your hand with his own and glancing behind you to indicate that Minjae was coming. The raven haired male stands between you, scanning the scene for anything that would stand out to him. You’re sure there’s hearts in your eyes as you stare at him, even with the fake beard on his face. 

“I didn’t know you knew each other,” Minjae comments after a bit of silence, crossing his arms over his chest. 

“We don’t,” your hand falls to your side. “Not well, at least. But we’re friends now, right Junmin?” 

“Yeah, we are,” he turns to his friend with a smile. “I’ll catch you later, Y/N, it was nice meeting you.”

As soon as Junmin is out of ear shot, Minjae is turning back to you with a raised eyebrow. You peer at him innocently, but you know he’s caught you red handed. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Did what?” You act coy, messing with the fluffy hem of your skirt. His tongue pokes the inside of his cheek and he glances away from you with a small laugh. 

“You’re really something special, you know that, Y/N?” His voice is only loud enough that the two of you can hear what he says, but nobody else. 

“You think so?” 

“I know so.”

Minjae doesn’t hesitate to lean into you, pressing his lips to yours softly. It’s perfect, the most perfect kiss in the whole world despite the fact that he’s wearing a fake beard. It tickles your face as he tilts his head. Your lips tingle everywhere that comes into contact with his, sparks running through your veins like electrical currents. Now that you’re certain that you’re on the same page, you want so much more than just this. You need him, all of him. 

But then you realize where you are. Your cheeks warm up impossibly hot, your nose cowering into the space where his shoulder meets his collarbone. Minjae can’t help but laugh at how cute you are. Truly, he hit the jackpot with you. You checked just about every box on his list, the missing puzzle piece he had been looking for all along. 

Had he written a Christmas list this year, like he’d done so many times as a kid, you’d be right at the top. 

“Should we go upstairs?” He whispers into your ear. You nod frantically, desperate to be alone with him for the first time, well, ever. He takes your hand into his and guides you through the house and up the stairs. The hallway is long and it feels like forever has passed by the time you make it into his room. 

There’s posters of different bands on the walls, a keyboard and a guitar in one corner, and a desk with a laptop and a smaller mixing board in the other. The room is neat, but not too neat, and somehow exactly what you’d imagine Kim Minjae’s room to look like. You take it in all at once, allowing him to pull you onto his lap on his bed, a knee on either side of his thighs. He’s since ditched the beard. 

“I didn’t think you’d ever go for a guy like me.” He confesses, hands on your hips. His thumbs rub circles into your exposed midriff. You cup his face with a pout on your lips. 

“Why do you say that?”

“I was told I’m not really your type,” he frowns, but then his mouth is attaching to your lower stomach. “That you usually don’t go for guys who break girls’ hearts.”

Your eyes flutter shut as his fingers creep beneath your skirt, tugging at the thin material of your lacy panties. “S-Sometimes, I make e-exceptions.”

You feel rather than see the curve of his smile, gasping when he drags your underwear down your legs. Your head is spinning and you’re overwhelmed by everything going on in the best way possible. Minjae’s hand disappears under your skirt again, his fingers teasing where you need him most. A whine escapes you when his thumb massages your clit, slowly and agonizingly. Your grip moves from his face to his shoulders, nails digging into the material of his Santa suit. 

His index and middle fingers don’t waste time slipping inside of you, forcing a louder moan out of you. The position the two of you are in makes it easier for him to curl them, brushing along that sensitive spot deep in your pussy. He keeps at it, alternating between calculated pumps into your cunt and showing attention to your already sensitive clit. 

“You’re so warm around my fingers, angel,” he mumbles into your skin, mouth still connected to your abdomen. “I bet you taste so sweet, too.”

You whine once more, riding his fingers like your life depended on it. It’s not enough, however. It’s not enough to satiate the hunger and the desire burning behind your chest. You needed to become one being with him. He pauses, looking up at you with eyes resembling pools of tar, unbridled affection swimming in them. 

“What is it?” You ask breathlessly, lips subconsciously pouting at him. 

“Can you…” He trails off, looking for the words. “Can you ride my face?”

You gawk at him, not at all expecting that to come out of his mouth. It’s not that you were this pure virgin who’s never done anything before, but Minjae was more experienced than you in multiple departments. And that happened to be one of them. You’ve never sat on anyone’s face before, and you’re sure it shows because he coos at you. 

“I’ve never… You know…” Your bashfulness has him growing harder beneath you and he can’t stop the groan he lets out after. 

“That’s okay, I’ll be your first,” he reassures you, rubbing up and down your sides comfortingly. “And hopefully your last.”

You smile widely, leaning down to kiss him. There’s more than lust translated into the way you slot your lips with his. You could see yourself falling in love with Kim Minjae and sharing a future with him. A future where you go out on dinner dates and he picks you up at your apartment, staring at you in awe when you get all dolled up for him. One where you take late night drives just because you want to, his arm outstretched across the center console to hold your hand. And maybe this time next year, you’ll be standing right beside him at this same party. Maybe you’ll wake up on Christmas morning to a kiss on the forehead and a tree filled with gifts for each other. 

Minjae lays with his head on the pillows after he shrugs off the jacket of his Santa suit while you shimmy out of your skirt, pulling you up so you’re straddling his face. His arms hook around your thighs just as you unzip your top and discard it somewhere behind you. 

“Just relax, angel,” he leaves a kiss on your inner thigh. “Hold onto the headboard if you need to.”

You do as he says, shutting your eyes when you feel his breath on your pussy. First, he kisses your clit experimentally. The moan that comes out of you encourages him to continue, his tongue kitten licking the expanse of it. It doesn’t take long for him to find a rhythm, the blunt edges of his nails pressing into your thighs. 

Your forehead falls to the headboard, sounds you’ve never made before bursting from your chest. You try to watch him between your legs, but the pleasure is so overwhelming you can’t keep your eyes open. His nose bumps your clit repeatedly, and somehow that’s what has you nearing your end. 

Minjae releases one of your thighs, his thumb applying pressure to the sensitive bundle of nerves as he fucks you open on his tongue. Loud is an understatement to describe your volume. You’re thankful that there’s an entire party going on downstairs, because despite being so shy earlier, there’s nothing shy about you right now. And he’s eating it up. 

“I’m gonna—!”

“Wait,” he stops, pushing down his pants and his underwear. “I want you to cum on my cock.”

“Minjae… I don’t think I can last any longer.” You whine, your cunt contracting around nothing. He kisses it one more time before sitting up and helping you back into his lap. He reaches into the drawer of his bedside table, grabbing a condom and quickly unwrapping it so he could slip it on. The time between riding his face and hovering over his dick is a blur, your whole self delirious from how good everything feels. 

“There, there, angel,” he murmurs into your collarbone as you sink onto his cock, both of you moaning at the contact. “Fuck, you feel like heaven.”

He knows you’re tired, so he does all the work for you. His grip stays on your hips, fucking up into you with desperation. He was already stiff and throbbing with need just from eating you out. You’re both searching for sweet release, your hands grabbing onto his shoulders, then his arms, then tangling in his hair. 

His mouth latches onto one of your breasts, and you’re starting to think he has an oral fixation, the orifice always connected to some part of your body or another. Your fingers stay in his hair, attempting to bounce on his dick and meet him halfway. You’re exhausted, though, and it barely does anything to help Minjae, who’s doing everything. 

You were so close when he decided to change positions, so it didn’t take a lot to get you back to that point. Your pussy tightens around him, and he knows that your orgasm is near. He swipes his ring and middle fingers on your clit, the added stimulation finally bringing you to the edge of bliss. It feels like you’re on cloud nine, the fatigue evaporating from your bones. 

Minjae is right there with you, gritting his teeth so he can take care of you first. “Where— shit— where do you want me, angel?”

“Inside,” your voice is hoarse and seeping with sleepiness. “Cum inside me, Jae.”

He doesn’t have to be asked twice, finishing into the condom with a low groan. You rock in his lap to ride out both of your highs, until eventually he slides out of you and you collapse into his chest. Minjae laughs, pulling back the covers on his bed so you could be warm and comfortable. 

“Y/N?” He whispers softly, in case you might’ve already fallen asleep. You hum in response, stirring so you could look up at him. He thinks he could fall in love with you. “I just want you to know that I mean it when I say things are different with you. I wanna see where this road takes us.”

“I believe you,” you smile, something so pretty like the star on top of his Christmas tree and so cozy like a mug of hot cocoa. “And I want that, too. My feelings for you are kinda scary, Kim Minjae.”

“I could say the same about mine for you.” His expression is the spitting image of one of your dreams. You were in this exact scenario, except instead of confessing to each other for the first time, you had been together for years and this was just a typical morning ritual for you. 

“Just promise me one thing?” You trace random things into his abdomen, blinking up at him. 

“Anything.” He nods, recognizing the seriousness in your gaze. 

“Don’t break my heart.” The way you ask him this, looking at him like he personally painted sunsets, he would burn bridges for you. 

“I wasn’t ever planning on it.”

Amnesia World: Normal World (Part 1)

In terms of the gameplay: Whenever you´re given a choice in the game, the translation will lead to the different choices. The name of your MC will be Y/N (your name) in the translation, but in game screenshots it might mention my name.

???: — August 1st. As she woke up, all of her memories were gone.

Yet beside her was a mysterious young boy who called himself a “spirit.”

“I'm the reason you lost all your memories,” he said to her.

To regain her lost memories, the girl and the boy decided to search for them.

This is the story of a certain girl, in a certain country, in a certain world——

— A story woven together with “him.”

Y/N: ….. ?

???: — Ah, are you awake?

How are you feeling? Any chance you recognize my appearance?

Choices

1) …Who are you?

2) Are you an insect… ?

3) Is this a robbery… !?

— …Who are you?

???: Ah, it seems like you can see me after all, no? It's quite a relief to know I'm able to communicate with you.

— Are you an insect… ?

???: …..

…Haha

You do make funny jokes at least. For a second I thought you were being serious.

But unfortunately, I'm not childish enough to respond properly to such teasing.

No matter how you look at me, though, I'm not an insect. I neither have wings on my back nor any type of antennae sticking out of my head.

…Well, maybe a bit? My hair is a little bit bouncy on top of my head, but that's it.

That being said, I still don't think you were serious. In other words, I'm not shocked by the fact you said that.

…..

— Is this a robbery… !?

???: …I hadn't thought of that line.

But from a human perspective, I guess I do look extremely suspicious. It's inevitable that people might misunderstand.

…Despite that, do I really look like such a bad person?

end Choices

???: Err… I'm sure you have a ton of questions you're curious about…

But before I talk myself hoarse, how about I start by introducing myself? Otherwise our conversations won't advance any further, don't you agree?

Well then, it's nice to finally meet you again. My name is——

My name—���

…..

U-Umm. Now that's strange…

Err, hold on a second. Give me about 10 seconds to think.

…..

…No way.

…Um, what about you? I feel awfully embarrassed about what I'm about to say…

— But I'm sorry. I honestly don't even know myself.

???: …..

A-Ah… I do remember a little bit. However, it's only the bare minimum.

Sorry, but let's put my name aside for now.

First of all, I'll start with the question you're probably most interested in knowing: “What is he?”

I'm a so-called spirit, an existence summoned from another world.

…I think.

Choices

1) You think?

2) If you say so…

— You think?

???: No, as a matter of fact, I already lacked confidence before that…

— If you say so…

???: Y-You're a really calm person, huh… I expected you to say something like, “What are you even talking about?” You know?

end Choices

???: But I am a spirit, you know. God created my existence to serve in another world.

…Eh, I guess it's no more than a rough explanation. And here I thought I could deliver a brief explanation…

But if I had to explain everything now, I'm pretty sure you'd get even more confused than before. Especially since your mind isn't in a stable place either.

So for now, just accept the fact that I can't tell you more. I promise to tell you all the details at some other point.

Well then, let me restart the explanation. Now I'll give you a brief summary of what has happened so far.

It all happened just a few hours ago. I was heading towards the human world for some minor business when I carelessly ran into you…

My theory is that I'm now locked up in your mind…

And during our impact with one another, your memories must have left…

…..

…I'm sorry. I know it's not something I should talk about so carelessly, huh?

I know this is a serious matter for you. Knowing that this is all my fault, I really am sorry about all of this.

But I expect that this isn't the only problem.

In fact, just now another burden has become clear.

…It seems like your memories aren't the only thing that flew away.

???: Well, it seems like both our memories left us at the same time. Talking about a great disaster, right?

Haha, having amnesia is really inconvenient, right? Given that I can't even remember my own name.

…..

…I'm sorry. As I've told you, I'm unable to understand my selfishness.

I've been barely able to recall fundamental information before colliding with you…

And then one crucial swoosh hit me. Even the word “spirit” is a word I can't apply to anything, even if I drag it with me.

…Yet I do think it's strange.

It shouldn't be this simple to have a spirit's memory escape from its body like that…

The impact must have been extremely severe, it seems. In human terms, it would have been the equivalent of a head-on collision with a 10-ton truck…

In other words, that's how powerfully I was drawn to this girl…

…I wonder why. I don't sense anything particularly special about you…

Either way, at least now you know the situation you're in.

We both lost our memories, and it seems you've lost your personality too.

…I'm sorry that was thoughtless. But I intend to take full responsibility for this.

… I'll do anything to bring back your memories.

Moreover, I should probably say I will “try” my best even if it's inexcusable…

If only you could somehow get your memories back, I think I'd be able to push myself out and leave.

So even if it's just for a short while, let's give it our all and work together. What do you say?

Choices

1) Understood

2) Don't worry so much, please

— Understood.

???: …Good. Thank you for accepting me.

In reality, I wouldn't be surprised if you blamed me in your situation.

— Don't worry so much, please

???: Don't mock me by saying that. I've possibly been the ongoing reason that ruined your life.

…At the same time, it's pointless making you worry about this now as well.

If I have time to sulk, I might as well have the opportunity to think about something to remember.

Thanks to you, my motivation is back where it's supposed to be.

end Choices

???: …Alright, just to confirm it. You really don't remember anything related to you?

Even just remembering your name could help us a great deal already…

(Entering MC's name)

*You cannot change the MC's name afterwards!

???: I see. So that's your name?

Wow, that's a lovely name. It suits you perfectly.

Oh, that's right. You don't need to use any honorifics with me.

To be honest with you, I'm not very good at being formal with people. Wouldn't you enjoy being able to speak freely as well?

I'd be more than thrilled if you'd treat me like a friend from now on.

Sorry for jumping around topics again, but let's get to the point… now that I've heard your name.

In order to get back our memories, we should start gathering information about you as soon as possible.

Going to a hospital won't cure your memory loss because it's unrelated to any brain defects.

That brings us into even more trouble than before. It feels as though you're living alone.

In other words, currently, we don't have friends to ask anything. This implies that we currently have no one to rely on.

Accordingly, let's try and find out more about your personal relationships. We still have a slim chance of victory after all.

Our main goal is to find an acquaintance of yours, and maybe we can withdraw some information then…

From there on, it's also important to find someone we can trust.

Ultimately it would be ideal to discuss your amnesia with said trustworthy person. Because there's a limit to how much information we can gather on our own, after all.

Once we have someone who is aware of our situation and can provide support, the investigation should progress rather quickly… I think.

However, you need to choose that person cautiously.

Be careful not to get caught up with any bad-natured person, okay? Maybe for now you should keep your amnesia a secret.

Well then, let's get our investigation going. I happen to have a bag that seems like it is yours.

I can't touch anything that belongs to a human, so maybe help me out there?

???: Alrighty. I found a notebook and cell phone. Lucky me, we suddenly got our hands on tons of information.

Come on, let's start with your notebook…

…..

???: Ah, I found some words that seem important.

Look, this seems like your August schedule. The day after tomorrow is marked with “swapped work shifts with Sawa.”

Judging from the word “work shift,” it seems like this refers to a part-time or a full-time job that you have.

If I'm right, those red circles, which are on certain days of the week, mean that you have work…

The only exception is the day after tomorrow since this “Sawa” person must’ve asked you to cover her shift.

…That's bad, I have no prior knowledge of this person.

Or let's rather say that we have to find out where the place she works at is.

Searching for a job location first thing after losing your memory… The hurdles are high from the very beginning.

Your notebook doesn't seem to have any more clues. Maybe there is any contact information related to the place on your cell phone?

taps on phone

???: — Stop. I think I saw a rather eccentric name just now.

“Maids Sheep”... “Maid,” huh. No matter how we look at it, this doesn't seem like a person's name, am I wrong?

That means it must be the name of a store somewhere… No, it's a bit too subtle to be the name of a store.

There seem to be a few more names in your personal history… Maybe one of them is your part-time job?

Hmm, seems like there's no notable game-winning hit registered besides that one.

Let's maybe look up the store's location on the internet later, okay?

If you really are a worker there, either co-workers or the shop manager will surely come up and talk to you.

But it's very risky for someone in your condition to suddenly go to a crowded place…

Yet if we are right, you'll get to see the faces of people you might know. We might even get to borrow a manual from the shopfront. We might kill two birds with one stone like this!

There's no time to be hesitant, so let's just go for it.

Choices

1) If anything happens, you'll be with me, right?

2) T-That's right…

— If anything happens, you'll be with me, right?

???: Yeah, don't worry. I'll be right by your side.

…I'm happy. Even though we've just met, you're relying on me.

— T-That's right…

???: Hey, what happened? Why are you so nervous all of a sudden… ?

If you keep acting like that, it might raise suspicion. You have to be careful about how you act in public.

end Choices

???: Now that we've decided what to do, let's immediately start with our plan.

That's what I'd like to say, but before that——

I have to do something about my name first. Being someone without a name is pretty inconvenient, wouldn't you agree?

I wouldn't mind if you straight up called me “spirit” or anything else that's as straightforward…

Maybe you can think of an alias?

I think this would make it easier to interact between the two of us. You don't need to think too much about it either, whatever suits your taste.

Choices

* You have to choose the name Nova to continue!

1) Well then… Pochi?

2) …Nova?

3) Rakshasamaru

— Well then… Pochi?

???: Y-You really don't give it much thought! Isn't that a typical Japanese nickname for dogs!?

I'd like to refrain from saying anything against it… But at the same time, I also said anything is fine, huh?

Well then, I'd like something that sounds a bit more… like a person's name.

— Nova

???: Nova… Nova, huh? Yeah, that's a wonderful name. For some reason, it feels just right for me.

I wonder how you came up with such a good time… Eh, just by chance?

To think such a name can simply appear out of nowhere… oh well.

Well then, from today on, I'm Nova.

— Rakshasamaru

???: T-That's so cool… ! But this name doesn't quite match me, does it?

I mean, you see what I look like. Having this samurai-like name would give me an uncomfortable feeling.

I'm sorry for saying that it's a bad choice, but if possible I'd like a western-style name, please.

You have quite wild name ideas, though… It kind of goes against your appearance.

end Choices

Nova: From now on we're partners. Pleased to meet you. I'll do the best I can to support you.

You're not alone anymore. Whenever something seems impossible, you now have someone to rely on.

— 1 week later, 8th August.

Nova: …I never expected you to work as a part-time employee at a maid and butler cafe.

How should I put it? It's a rather odd place, isn't it? The uniform suits you nicely, though.

Your skirt is also neither too long nor too short, emphasizing femininity without losing its elegance. On top of that, it's a nice mixture of Japanese and Western styles. The design really does seem to understand the male instincts—

Nova blushes

Nova: …Sorry, that was off topic.

All the hard work you've put into this the past few days, without sparing time for sleep, has paid off, and you turned out to be an elegant maid.

Although when it comes to your memories, we haven't gotten further yet. The only thing we achieved was clarifying some of your friendships.

We're taking action proactively, though. It's like our efforts are somewhat slowly coming together into results…

Haa… You can't solve everything at once, right? If only you had a husband, you could instantly overcome your amnesia.

…Ah, that reminds me of something. I haven't talked about my master yet.

I mentioned the other day that there is this being called God.

I must've been traveling around the world looking for him, my master.

I can't remember his face or name, though. I'm sure he must be a powerful god, though.

…By granting the wishes of humanity, gods obtain the magical power that sustains their existence.

A person like this with great powers should easily be able to restore one or two of your lost memories.

Choices

1) Don't you have that power?

2) That's amazing…

— Don't you have that power?

Nova: Unfortunately, I don't have those powers… I think. I'm merely a spirit that serves its god, nothing more.

— That's amazing…

Nova: U-Uhm. It is amazing… I guess. I wonder why I can't agree with that.

end Choices

Nova: And even if I wanted to ask him to help us, I don't know where to find him.

It seems like it's not that easy between humans and spirits. When it comes to our memories, I guess we're on our own.

It would be best if we found someone we could trust and finally talked to them…

Luckily for you, it seems you've built a friendly relationship with all the staff members… Maybe we can choose someone among them.

Okay, let's take this moment as an opportunity to get to know the people around you. Today is a special staff member meeting after all.

Place: Maids Sheep

???: Ah, good morning. You're coming in a bit late today, aren't you?

He comes closer

???: Well, it's still quite early. I've just arrived as well.

What a shame. If I'd known we'd have time, I would've come by your house to pick you up.

Nova: …Why is it that every time we see him, he tries to get closer to us?

Well, I think you know why, but…

That's Ikki, by the way. While he has always been like this, he's also one of your seniors.

???: …..

Nova: And the tall guy standing behind him…

???: …Ikkyu, give her some space. I'm sure you're making her uncomfortable.

I don't mean to interfere with your “greeting,” but shouldn't you show some respect for others at your workplace?

Nova: That's Kent. He's one of your seniors as well, and also Ikki's best… Or maybe he's just a regular friend.

Ikki: Ah. You were here too, Kent? I didn't notice you at all.

Kent: Quit acting all innocent… Just a moment ago we were talking about our plans for next week.

If we're seriously pretending our conversation never happened, I might have to throw away the math puzzle I was going to give you…

Ikki: Easy there, of course I was just joking. I wouldn't want to lose my precious winning streak, you know?

Kent: …Hm. Whether you like it or not, it's already been decided that your success is short-lived.

Ikki: Heh, don't get too confident. The next challenge has an increasing amount of difficulty, no? And I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Nova: …It seems like those two are rather close after all. They argue back and forth about these kinds of things every day, don't they get bored?

???: G-Good morning… ! Did I make it in time!?

???: N-No more! Water, someone… please… !

Kent: Huh, aside from Sawa, it's rather unusual that Mine is almost late.

Sawa: Hey, Kent. Is this really the first thing you say to someone when they're late!?

Mine: …Sawa-senpai, I don't think you should get into an argument now. Or at least, I won't let you.

Sawa: Uhh…

Ikki: Did something happen?

Mine: Sawa-senpai asked me to come pick her up yesterday. “I don't want to be late for five days in a row, so please come pick me up tomorrow morning,” she said.

Nova: It seems as if her record has grown even later over the past three days…

Mine: That's why I went to pick her up at the promised time, but…

Kent: I expect Sawa wasn't even awake by that time.

Ikki: So you've been waiting in front of her house until she woke up, right?

Mine: As expected, you two are right. Even when I tried calling her on her phone, she didn't wake up.

Sawa: I-I'm truly sorry… But I was tempted by the warmth of my futon, so I tended to fall right back to sleep…

Mine: I get what you mean, but I'm not going to pick you up anymore. Otherwise, I might be the next person to always come late.

Sawa: F-Fine! From tomorrow on I'll treat you like a cruel junior if you wish so!

Nova: …Even if their names have already been mentioned, let me remind you just once more.

The more energetic girl is called Sawa. She's about your age and also a friend of yours.

The other girl is Mine, your junior.

Those two are close friends of yours. It seems like you guys often go out together, especially on holidays.

Kent: Sawa. Didn't he say, "You should start waking up early on your own" the other day?

Ikki: He's right. It hasn't even been a week since then… I'm sure you'll get another lecture soon.

Sawa: Uhh, I don't want to do this anymore…

Mine: Did something like this already happen?

Sawa: Y-Yeah, exactly a week ago. I was about 30 minutes late…

Nova: Ah… so that's why she was rather whimsical the first time we met.

I can't see “him” anywhere, though. It's not like him to be late, so maybe he's already waiting.

All the other members should already be here, so we should get ready and go out.

???: …Hey, y/n.

You were in charge of tidying up the dishes yesterday, weren't you? You arranged all the large plates incorrectly.

Do you know you've been doing a shitty job? Now get focused.

Nova: …What a way of harshly greeting someone in their own …

???: Shin, don't be so harsh so early in the morning. Can you talk a bit more friendly for now?

No need to feel down, y/n. You were not doing so well yesterday, isn't that right?

Shin: Toma… Don't be careless and stop pampering her.

Toma: Being strict isn't always a good thing, y'know? It's more of an attitude thing.

Shin: You're too lax. It might be part of the reason why you're always spacing out.

Nova: …Err. Is it just me, or are those two arguing as if they've been married for a long time——

Shin: Pull yourself together, okay? Toma's only acting overprotective because you're actually too much of a handful.

Nova: The person on the left is your childhood best friend, Shin. He's one year younger than you, so he is kind of like a little brother to you.

Toma: Everything aside, you have been making a few mistakes lately, haven't you?

If there's anything causing you trouble at work, just say it. I'll help you as much as you like if you want.

Nova: This very kind guy is also one of your childhood friends, Toma. He's one year older than you, though. So basically the total opposite of Shin, he's like an older brother to you.

…You should be careful about what you say to these two. Any slight mistake could make them suspect that you've lost your memory.

Toma: Come to think of it, I haven't seen Sawa anywhere yet. Is she late again?

Ikki: She just barely made it in time today, Toma. She's changing right now.

Kent: She had to ask Mine for help, though. I guess anything is better than breaking her record.

Sawa: That's right!! So, please spare me any lectures!

Nova: That was rather quick…

Mine: Don't listen to her, Toma. I think you should give her at least one more lecture!

Toma: …Was I really that mean?

Shin: I've never seen someone this desperate just because they got up early once.

???: What a cheerful morning this is. Let's start off with a proper greeting, shall we?

Ikki: Ah, Waka-san. Good morning.

Waka: Good morning. Everyone's here on time today, how unusual.

Sawa-chan, keep up this behavior and aim to minimize being late.

Sawa: Ah, hahaha… yes.

Nova: There's no denying it, but once you hear this person's voice, the whole store just gets brighter.

This is the manager of the store, responsible for all these youthful employees, Waka-san.

He has quite an unusual tone, right? I think it's Kansai dialect.

However, among the staff——

Waka: It's only going to get busier from today onward, so please refrain from being late.

Nova: I can't help but feel like he's faking the fact that he's a Kansai native. He sometimes has this strange, mixed tone of voice.

Anyhow, these are all the members who work in the same place as you. The relationship between everyone is very good, there don't seem to be any problems.

The most important question, though, is: Who of them should you trust…?

Hmm… we don't know enough of them yet to make a proper decision.

They all seem like extraordinary people, but it's hard to see their true nature. Especially the guys.

We just got to know everyone, so maybe it's best to wait and see.

Waka: Now, let's start with our monthly meeting. It's customary to start with the report of last month's performance…

But first, let me talk about the concept of the next upcoming event.

Nova: …An event, huh? That's the first time I've heard about this.

Toma: Ah, the event you wanted ideas for two weeks ago?

Kent: Since there was no announcement of any further decision, I thought you had dropped the idea.

Waka: Well, you see. You all had excellent ideas, so I carefully took my time to select my favorite.

But now that the end of the month is approaching, I had to choose one.

By the way, the staff member whose idea is adopted will be given a voucher for free meals for an entire month.

Mine: Eh, since when was it about a prize?

Waka: I have just decided that.

Shin: Tch… I should've given it more thought.

Sawa: M-Me too. I submitted it with the thought, “Anything is fine as long as it's fun!”

Damn, if I had this meal voucher, I could get through this month's crisis way easier… !

Waka: …Neither of you even tries to hide their true feelings.

Ikki: Leaving Shin's and his friends' financial situation aside. Whose idea are we going to adopt, Waka?

Waka: Right, I'll announce it now. The idea I've decided to adapt for the next event—

Waka claps his hands

Waka: Congratulations, Y/N! Your idea has won!

Mine: You did it!!

Congratulations, senpai! I knew if anyone was going to win, it should be your idea!

Kent: …That's a surprise. I didn't think our manager would adopt such a plan.

Waka: Well, you are right. Normally I'd hesitate, but I thought it might be a nice change to try something like this once in a while.

So, Y/N. Here's your meal voucher. You may use it whenever you like.

Nova: Oh, thank you. The food here does seem delicious…

…..

No, wait, we don't have time to celebrate. What even was your idea…!?

Toma: Are you for real? Are we really going to do that, Waka?

Waka: Of course. People from Kansai, such as myself, may be funny, but we certainly never lie.

Toma: I don't think this has anything to do with being from Kansai–

Ikki: Shh.. Toma! Don't bring up anything that may only make matters complicated.

I do agree that this will be interesting, a new theme and such.

Toma: Yes… I'm surprised you're accepting this so easily as well, Ikki.

Kent: Manager. The project Y/N suggested seems rather ambitious. Do we really have the budget for that?

Waka: I was originally planning to make this month's event a big one from the start. So you needn't worry.

Special costumes will be provided, and a photoshoot will be hosted.

Sawa: — Ah, so that's why he's here?

???: I'm sorry, is it okay if I come in?

Nova: Ah, this voice…

???: Good morning, Y/N. It's kind of refreshing to meet you before the store officially opens.

Nova: There he is, the elusive photographer Ukyo. You've met him several times before, right?

He's a regular at this store, but there are a lot of things he says that are a bit suspicious…

He doesn't seem like a bad guy, I think. Whether you can trust him or not is another matter, though.

Toma: Waka, you called this guy to be our professional photographer?

Ukyo: Eh, what's wrong, Toma? Your voice suddenly turned scary… Did I do something wrong?

Shin: Don't worry about it. He's just a bit concerned, nothing more.

Ukyo: He's concerned… by what?

Sawa: Huh? Ukyo, do you not know anything about the event?

Ukyo: Yes, I just received the offer yesterday. Why, what is it about?

Sawa: Well…

Waka: Stop right there, Sawa. Do not spoil it.

Sawa: W-Why not?

Waka: For now I would like to keep the event a secret.

Therefore I will strictly regulate it so that no information leaks out.

Sawa: Okay, I get it. It means it can't post it on our Internet website either, though.

Waka: About that, I will mention the event. I will just mention that an event is planned. If the information is secret, it piques more interest, wouldn't you agree?

Nova: …Is it just me, or is this type of censorship indirect bullying towards us?

Ukyo: Um, Waka. As a working adult, I will make sure to keep any information confidential.

Waka: It's not like I don't trust you, Ukyo. Neither do I think you are a blabbermouth, but…

Kent: You are acting rather suspicious when it comes to being confronted about secrets or lies.

Ikki: The other day when we were playing poker, your movements were so stiff… Your face basically spoke volumes by itself.

Ukyo: …That's not true, right?

Toma: Wow, I see what he means.

Shin: He's not the type to keep secrets whatsoever…

Kent: And for this exact reason we'd prefer to avoid telling Ukyo about the details.

Even if it's unlikely for him to say it out loud, there's still a chance he may do some actions that might be related to it.

Ikki: Ukyo just naturally stands out a lot. Any strange behavior of his would be immediately noticed.

Waka: That's right. I'm very sorry, but we have to leave it as a surprise until the final reveal day.

Ukyo: …Understood. I do feel a bit… left in the dark, though.

Mine: There's no need to feel down, Ukyo.

Once the day comes, let's work hard together!

Ukyo: Mine… Thank you…

You're right. Whether I can take good photos on the day depends on my actual skills… !

Mine: That's the spirit! I look forward to seeing you on the day of the actual event!

Waka: Well then, now that this has been settled...

I will be assigning individual people different tasks, so please make groups and get ready.

Y/N was the initiator, so she will be helping each member while also trying to come up with new ideas.

Nova: …How do you even respond to that? We don't even know what our idea was.

Hmm… I guess we have to try to find out more about it through everyone else.

It seems like everyone is busy talking about the event. Now, who should we join?

Choices

↳ Shin and Toma

↳ Ikki and Kent

↳ Ukyo and Mine

Hey, I noticed that your requests we open and you wrote about liu zhigang

If you had the time, could you please were something with shy reader?

Thank youuuuuuuu

ahh... the classic shy person a and the cocky and more extroverted person b trope. this time it will be all sweet and cutesy with our beloved 7 star chinese hunter!

LIU ZHIGANG / SHY!READER

at first, you might be taken a back by liu zhigang's boisterous behavior. sure it's different from andres thomas' loud personality but it doesn't change the fact it made you wanna crawl back into your shell when you first met him. it would take maybe one or two meetings with him before zhigang noticed your uneasiness whenever you're confronted by crowds or too many people at the same time. this is where he would tone down his loud persona into a more comfortable one so you would be more at ease whenever you're with him.

depending on your reasons why you're shy or struggle with talking with people, zhigang encourages you to break out of your shell and helps you with talking with people. he has more experience with socializing and doesn't really care for the opinions of other people, hell he has the chinese government at his beck and call you really think he would care of other people's opinions? crazy if you think you do. you honestly look up to him for this but you're usually there to humble him if he gets way too out of hand to the point it might harm him in the long run. anyway if you're the type to want to talk with people but you get way too nervous to interact, zhigang is there to help you with progress. though his way of guiding you to becoming more sociable is probably questionable to other people but you thank him nonetheless.

but if you're the type to just not... wanna talk to anyone at all then zhigang is perfectly okay with that. he probably prefers it that way so that no one will be there to snatch you away from him haha... anyway zhigang would gladly spend the days with you just snoozing away in your shared apartment or going around the streets and him doing all the talking while you listen to his ramblings and occasional complaints.

zhigang probably sees your shy personality as something endearing to him. oh? you can't find the courage to walk up to an employee in a restaurant to ask for service water? well you definitely need someone like him to be there to do that for you then! he would sometimes use these reasons against you if you ever try to do something stupid against him so watch out...

if you get overwhelmed in a crowd or situation, zhigang is there for you. he's there to soothe your anxiety with the simple motion of rubbing his thumb over your hand or placing his warm hand at your back and motioning circles to ease your nervousness. if you can't really stand to stay in the place then he'll escort you out, ignoring his assistant's or the person that's in charge of him to not do anything brash or stupid and guide you outside to somewhere more calming and peaceful.

heeeugghh i hope this err... helps 😓 i kinda sprinkled some lovesickness there but it's nothing too much but i couldn't really think much about zhigang because i was lowkeyyyy scared of overdoing it but anyway hope this is good enough for u <3

when someone is stupid enough to make you uncomfortable by stepping over your boundaries to the point of making you overwhelmed and on the verge of having a breakdown, a simple glareglance from zhigang that's been standing right behind you is more than enough to make the perpetuator back away. if looks could kill, that person would've been dead and cremated by the looks of zhigang. you often don't realize this because whenever you looked behind you, you only catch him sweetly smiling at you and placing a tender kiss on your forehead before guiding you outside (again dismissing the fussy assistant that's repeatedly telling him he can't simply leave the party because it's an important gathering).

[thisisnotkitty]

hello securitywaiter nation have you thought about ness being abby’s teacher bc I HAVE

below the cut because i can't shut up ever :D

-abby does well enough in school academically but is still needs some work in the socioemotional dept

-when she starts a new school year mike is a bit worried but then she comes back home absolutely ecstatic and mike is like “okay this is good”

-she talks all about how mr. ness lets her color while he teaches and how mr. ness gave them all name tags w silly drawings (hers is a bear) etc etc

-mike is actually really happy bc most teachers have a hard time understanding abby (heck, he has a hard time understanding her) so he’s looking forward to meeting this mr. ness during back to school night

-it goes on like this for awhile, with abby raving about mr. ness and mike is just happy that his little sister seems to be doing better in school. the first time she comes home talking about these kids she hung out with at recess he practically cries

-back to school night is here and the first time mike sees this mr. ness he’s like abby u traitor you didnt tell me this man was exactly my type (he doesn’t actually tell her bc he never brings up his lovelife around her - not that he’s had much of one - but still isn’t this the type of things siblings know intrinsically)

-anyways they’re having the kids show their guardians around the classroom and their seats and everything and then mr. ness is explaining the way his class works and mike is totally paying attention. yup. he’s not distracted by those chocolate brown eyes at ALL

-so they’re waiting to do the one-on-ones with the teacher and mike crouches down next to abby and tries to be all chill “hey, abs. has mr. ness ever mentioned a partner or anything?” acting all nonchalant

-but abby sees right through him and is immediately like “he’s single! do u want me to put in good word for you?” and mikes like “NO i have no idea what ur talking about haha i just wanted to know bc it’s important to know that about ur teachers okay wait why are you smiling like that”

-(abby’s a little menace and already ships it)

-when it’s finally their turn mike is just chanting to himself “be normal. be normal. be normal” lmao

-but now that he’s sitting face to face with the teacher he notices that he has freckles and every chance he had at playing it cool goes out the window

-ness is telling him all about how well abby is doing in class and if there was anything he could do to make it easier for her in the classroom and abby’s just sitting there looking at mike internally screaming with a smile

-so she turns to her teacher and is like “you should get mike’s number just in case something comes up. he’ll probably think of some things later since he’s been taking care of me alone for awhile” (bc u know when kids do that things where they kinda trauma dump at the most random moments lmao)

-and ness at first refuses and is like “im sure email works just fine!” and abby’s like WHYY is he not just taking the bait and then she has like a lightbulb moment

-bc ness probably assumes like everyone else that mike is a single father and abby’s his daughter and abby’s like oh no how do i make this work

-so she goes full anya mode (for my spy x family watchers) and is like “im sure mike would appreciate having your number on hand! he’s a very protective older brother you see. taking care of his little sister must be hard. i’m sure being a big brother like him is hard so it’d be for his peace of mind. did i mention he’s my older brother”

-and ness also has a little bit of a crush already forming so he doesn’t catch the obvious set up and is instead distracted by the fact that the handsome guy in front of him is in fact NOT a single father so maybe he does have a chance wowow

-yup so they exchange numbers andddddd ill come back to this later i really need coffee

[intertexts]

HELLOOOOOOO i hope u have fun w ur siblings :] but also holy shit i cant wait for u to finish 39 and get to 40 heheheheheheh. ANYWAY. welcome to wibby torment nexus hours here we go!!!!!!!!!

actually going to start with the whisperer/mal/trickster thing because holy shit dude ive had IN DEPTH thoughts about this. i cant even type it all out here bc thats for a wholeeee second ask but basically. fuckin. yeah. fundamental basics: in nhw world trickster killed clarence. not going to give you the reasoning for this yet. im on the fence about how particularly intentional wibbys death was BECAUSE of that but.... yeah thats for sure a fucking soup ingredient dude.

out of all the options you said... hmmmmmm okay. i like all of them for different reasons. i dont think he would specifically kill wibby JUST to spite mal, theres definitely more to it than that, but i think its a funny little bonus for him. mals hatred is proabably MOSTLY one sided. but trickster thinks its funny to make him look like an idiot sooo. haha i killed the kid who reminds me of the other guy i killed in front of you get fucked loser! I ALSOOOO. HMMMM. I DO REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF WILLIAM GETTING STRUNG ALONG but i dont think trickster is manipulative Like That. hes impatient, he doesnt like playing the long game he likes instant gratification. getting ashe was a HUGE exception to that. so while i do love a good "morally grey hero works with the villain to get something he wants" thing. i think its EXTREMELY in character for william to do that but maybe not so much trickster. i do think if we want a moment like this though...................... what if. ohhh evil cooking in my mind rn. what if trickster makes it. OH FUCK. OKAY. HERE WE GO. LITERALLY JUST POPPING INTO MY MIND AS I TYPE OKAY OKAY FUCK . PSYCHIC DAMAGE

what if. what if. this happens at the beginning of the battle. they find muse sitting in the clearing by himself. they all show up ready to fight, theyre surrounding him (they have scouts out looking for trickster, too, since taking down the puppetmaster is how they free the puppets. ill get to this in a second). um. well. his hair is down, not in any fancy braid or anything. and william cant sense the breaker state. (dakota can, but hes not fast enough). trickster is making it seem like ashe is free by suppressing the breaker state as much as he can wihtout actually turning it off. he has ashe turn toward his friends, talks to them like its actually him, saying htings like "guys please he let me go help me get these off of me" (referring to. the strings) . and . in a panicked state of. relief and desperation to get ashe back, because he cant sense the breaker state, he believes the ruse, wibby is the first person to rush forward. it would maybe be more in character for dakota to rush in, but he hesitates, because with the effects of his power he CAN tell that ashe is still in breaker state. he and/or virion reach out to grab william before he can get too close but hes too fast and hes already in his own breaker form so even if they could grab him their hands would just slip through. he gets close enough and far enough away from the other heroes that trickster has ashe snap fully back into muse mode and rips wibby in half. so his real goal there was just to trick (ha!) at least one of the heroes into getting close enough to do that (lmao funny prank, get gamzeed idiot) but the fact that it was william specifically who did it makes the whole thing EVEN FUNNIER. his trap fooled the logical one, the smart one, the one who is usually stopping the OTHERS from doing stupid things like this !! AND this also just so happens to be mallard ghoul conway's little pet project who looks suspiciously like the hero trickster killed when he took over his first city!!!!!!!!!!! the whole thing is just so delicious for him. which . oh god the wards are out of commission because of wibby death but its also maybe kind of a good thing that this happened because trickster is so busy laughing at his own successful prank that it makes it just a tiny bit easier to find where hes holed up.

is this anything. hi. holy shit wibby torment nexus. i feel like there was something else i wanted to say but i got so lost in the sauce of the Scenarios

AUUUUHGH THIS IS EVERYTHING. YEAH. YEAH HOLY SHIT. sorry i took so long 2 get to this but like. Augh. holy shit. ok. this hits so perfectly i love it a lot. yeah. this goes hard. what if. also. honestly. he just could straight up turn off muse's shaker stuff/breaker state for a minute....... maybe he lets ashe think he's free maybe he's still controlling him or maybe it's genuine & he's really free for half a minute..... then also they doesn't have any reason to suspect him & if dakota Does ashe's telekinesis just. trips him up or prevents him from getting 2 will in time (bc half of dakota's thing is just Being Really Fucking Fast right).... will goes into his breaker state for Extra Security (remember how i said he hates actually fighting w/ it & stuff? he just Doesn't Know that it doesn't work right in ashe's area of effect.) & as soon as he gets close the ruse drops & everything bubbles and shifts around him & it's too late. do u think the trickster still does it with ashe's hands? also i couldn't stop thinking abt the image of wibby's breaker state just. dropping as soon as muse rips him apart. the clean blue-white glow fizzles and disappears & everything's just. blood and meat spraying. that moment of horror. (& maybe also dakota & virion literally just. can't get close safely for a while, they don't Know wibby is still Alive Like that, they just saw him get ripped apart, it's only when they recover from the shock/get desperate enough to enter the muse dreamscape that they realize his lungs are like. still going & stuff....) anyway. did we ever talk about how we fix this? how does he fucking get put back together????

[reineyday]

i’m back to say that magnificent was so so so good!! i love the uta mihawk interactions and how mihawk wants to protect her. i think my favorite part though was when mihawk was talking to shanks all nervous about whether he could call uta his daughter, but shanks answers with an “of course.”

this fic made me wonder why mihawk would do if he was present during the one piece film red… would he come along with the red crew, or would he already be there like the others (luffy, law, etc)?

awh 💖💖 thank u for your continued support! it means a lot :') and im happy you enjoyed the fic haha 🥰

UH, long answer short: i kind of have headcanons that position him before, during, and after the movie hahaha. sorry this reply turned out longer than i expected but my brain's got a mihawk & uta agenda goin' on rn. 😂 thanks again for the ask! ➡️

i actually have a bit of a draft going of mihawk seeing the "shanks destroys elegia" headline, seeing what's up, and finding uta, which i started before i wrote up magnificent lol. that's kinda where i picture him--doing something before everything happens, bc his curiosity makes him wonder why shanks would do smthg so uncharacteristic.

i recognize that's kind of a cop-out answer tho LOL so in regards to the movie itself in the canon(ish) timeline, i imagine he'd probably be there beforehand like luffy etc. he'd be there bc buggy and his crew got tickets and he was somehow dragged there against his will (similar to how law says he's chaperoning bepo but a lot more antagonistic about it aha), probably bc croc decides it might be beneficial to go, for whatever reason. probably scoping the crowd. (pls imagine the cross guild at uta's concert garnering Looks and standing out very obviously, but no one wants to say anything about it LOL even if the crowd is very anti-pirate. like, the strawhats and soen charlottes were there so. why not some ex-warlords?)

when there, he'd be like, "hey wait isn't that shanks's kid? didn't he say she left to sing? huh." and then maybe possibly even dial shanks on his baby den den about it bc if he's the type to bring luffy's poster all the way to an island, he'd probably try to ring up shanks. then he wouldn't be able to connect and clock that something is Up bc he knows shanks is just kinda hanging on his ship rn, on his way out from wano. i dont think he'd be with shanks along with his crew, and i dont think he'd bother going after the fact to help if he wasn't there to start with, which is why i think he'd already be there for separate reasons. ;P

anyways, i also have the start of an idea where the movie happens but uta survives, and shanks, stressed, is like, "hey, y'know what, everything's ramping up and everyone's trying to kill uta and she's still recovering from this wakeshroom shit so she'd probably be safer on land but the marines will be looking for all my known close associates... i'm gonna drop her off with mihawk. he trained those two other kids and the misanthropic fucker (affectionate) has probably found a new island by now anyways, since he isn't a warlord anymore. it should be fine. he'll say yes."

he sets out with his crew to follow mihawk's vivre card. benn and yasopp get the news coo and start laughing about something but they don't tell him, and whatever, he's going to see mihawk soon. he's definitely being led to land, which makes him feel vindicated, until it becomes more and more clear that the structure standing out on the shore is a huge big top tent, and there's an unfortunately very familiar flag flying, and shanks is like, "oh god, don't tell me," and then promptly has to dodge a flying fist and yelling about how he isn't welcome here and what the fuck is mihawk doing with buggy???? and benn and yasopp, having seen the cross guild poster in the news and hidden it from shanks, are laughing so hard at him while he deals with this momentary crisis where two completely different parts of his life have seem to connected without his knowing about it.

(buggy is happy to see uta bc for all that they fight shanks and buggy did make some sort of effort with their brotherhood every now and then so he knows uta and she calls him "uncle bugs"!; mihawk ofc says "yes" to taking care of her bc he feels qualified to handle young adults now lol (he says this with an air of gravitas that is hilarious when considering how he interacts with zoro and perona, which is stoically and poorly); uta makes fun of her dad relentlessly for not having made any moves on the guy he's been in a situationship with since she was a literal child; and croc comes home from a meeting to find international pop sensation uta (that the news said tried to take over the world during her concert or something???) reclined on their couch drinking tea. wild day for everyone.)

[demonir]

reasons why i think the charisma house guys would be/should be transgender/nb

Rikai: hasn't realized it yet because of lots of internalized issues and the idea that he has to conform to society's standards, the other charismas are gonna vibe check him so fucking hard (not implying he was transphobic before this though, I believe his morals are clear enough to know that's bad and he tolerates NO badness, he was just one of those "this doesn't apply to me bc it would never happen to me haha" type people)

Ohse: neurodivergent - depressed - baggy clothes - suicidal - artsy guy. Don't tell me he wouldn't have a tumblr where he posts incredibly well made vent art about his gender dysphoria while he listens to kikuo songs all day

Sarukawa: his first act of rebellion in his entire life was saying "NO" when his parents told him he was a girl (or maybe the other way around if u want)

Terra: Do I even have to say anything? look me in the eyes, do you really need me to say it?

Iori: when I was on twitter half the ppl in there said iori was a trans girl so like take that as you will (also you could make a point out of the fact he seems to not value himself as a human being beyond his capability to serve others and how that would mess with someone's identity down to their gender, idk I'm an advocate for it/it's pronouns iori maybe dog pronouns iori)

Fumiya: Idk he's got so much t-boy swag to me but also butch lesbian swag at the same time, if faced with transphobia he'd be like "oh its wrong? why?" just to fuck with them. Might also just lie about his gender if it benefits him, like saying he's a woman just so someone will open the door for him etc. Might get gender euphoria from catfishing people online as a hot lady

Amahiko: his whole thing is sex and hes like very obviously bisexual (or pan) you cannot tell me this guy isn't out there in pride parades hitting it up with all the trans people, I believe he's very lax about gender, he respects people who see no use for it and people who take it seriously but personally his priority is the eternal quest for sexiness and pleasure, gender has at no point posed an obstacle for him.

[alphabetboyluvr]

hiii holly! i hope november's treating you kindly so far!

i wanted to ask whether you have any advice for writers that are just starting to publish. literally any modicum would be greatly appreciated.

it's really hard to assess whether one's writing is any good when literally no one ever reads it :( at the same time, I know I should write for myself first and foremost. can't help but want to be held accountable by the possibility of an audience, tho (maybe that's just my brain chemistry??) I fall into the pit of thinking "if no one's reading it, why am I even writing? I can daydream indefinitely and be satisfied. Why write?" Yet I always come back to writing; it's something magnetic.

it's not the same to ask close friends to read ur stuff bc they are ur friends, and may not give you the sincerity ur looking for so as to not discomfort u. conversely, they might not be interested enough so as to pick up on the fine details.

f/u question: how do you deal with publishing your work on the internet for free? does it ever scare you that strangers could copy and republish ur work without your knowing?

I guess that's one of my main apprehensions about posting loyally on writing platforms. I'm scared I'll write something I'm very proud of and have it plagiarized and not be able to track it back as my original property??

anyways, enough of my self-exposing on your q and a's feeling v vulnerable sharing my doubts so openly lol

thank youuuu :) ly <3

hiyaaa!! it's getting chilly, i won't lie, but other than that November has been pretty typical. likewise, i hope it's treating you well too!

honestly the fact you casually drop words like modicum probably suggests you're a paygrade above me in terms of writing hahaha

my answer is a long (srsly i just kept on going lmao) ramble, so I'll put a read more here haha

i've many lovely friends who i absolutely adore that I've met through writing that are now irls, but none of my friends that i know independently outside of writing have ever read my stuff - I've even got irl friends who are deep in the ao3 trenches, who are paying for other tannie writers' patreons, but we have an unspoken rule that my work is not to be read by them. i just don't let my friends read my work, full stop, so i get that sentiment.

the thing is, humans are naturally inclined to be storytellers - it's been that way for thousands of years. our tales are meant to be told. sharing is just a very human thing for us to do.

I've been publishing on wattpad (within the tannie space) for 4 years, now. readers didn't appear overnight - i actually recently found a screenshot of you up? from march 2021. it had 28 parts, 2.03k reads and 313 votes.

it now sits at 62 parts, 1.45million reads and 55k votes.

that's a little bit perspective for you, i guess - i'd written half of an entire novel that was averaging around 70 reads per chapter, but i loved that world, and i had story to tell, so i told it. some people viscerally hated it, some loved it. i was writing for me, and the numbers prove that. if you worry about the numbers, you'll never satisfied.

similarly, comparison is the thief of joy, or so they say.

comparing yourself to other writers is never healthy. there are far more 'successful' authors on wp in terms of reads, but i genuinely mean it when i say i think i have the most fulfilling and rewarding space on tannie wp because my readers are so unbelievably lovely. i wouldn't trade my current readership for bigger numbers, not a chance.

in terms of plagarism, there are 170,000 words in current use within the english language, and 36 plot types. we've exhausted a lot of them, already. overlap and similarities are bound to occur, so i try not get fixated on it.

take cv for example - i was so gassed up with myself when coining the terms mono and multi, only to find out after i'd finished writing the story that there was a drama with a similar concept that also used the term mono for a similar condition that aired after i'd already started writing cv. overlap happens.

similarly, we're a product of the media we consume. endeavour is my favourite word, because it was in a song i liked when i was a teenager and it stuck with me. i use it all the time, and we can trace it back to the pen of alex gaskarth lmao.

I've seen readers of mine publish work that's been heavily inspired by my work - with and without 'permission' - and i just sort of shrug my shoulders whenever i notice it.

the way i see it, we'll never tell the exact same story. likewise, no two readers will ever read identical texts the same way. i encourage creativity, and know how important it is for me to empty my brain, so I'll never go for someone's throat for doing the same. that's how myths were born, right? people telling and retelling the same stories over and over again? how am i gonna write a romeo & juliet x greek mythology inspired fic and then get annoyed for someone taking inspo from me?

just like the way hair will always grow back after a terrible cut, new words can always be written after a disappointing discovery. idk, i just don't take it very seriously, i guess.

as for whether or not your writing is any good - it's totally subjective. there are people who have explicitly, publicly stated their disdain for my writing. I've had cruel opinions about my writing projected and amplified to large followings. and it sucks.

but there are people who have been exceptionally kind about my writing, too. i get some of the loveliest messages in the world. there are tiktoks with hundreds of comments of just unadulterated loveliness directed towards my work. I'm afforded so much grace and love that it can be overwhelming at times.

not everything is for everyone, and that's okay. you can't let yourself get hung up on pleasing everyone.

the one thing i will say, is that if you're seriously concerned about your IP, write original characters, and use wattpad as your platform. i know they have a reputation, but they give a shit about copyright infringement and the second someone gets reported for plagiarism, they'll investigate it, and take down the story.

no reward without risk - you gotta decide if the risk of plagiarism is worth the reward of sharing your work.

and plus, ai is taking over anyways. may aswell write while we still can lol.

so i guess tl;dr - don't let outside influence impact your internal need to create. the right readers will find your work eventually, but it's not an overnight miracle kinda thing. if i stopped writing just because i didn't see results in my stats, then i would have stopped after kumiho, and we'd have never gotten throttle, or bd, or anything else of mine you might have read.

do it because you love it, and it fulfils you. i love the communities built around my stories, and that's why i share them. writing without sharing doesn't fulfil me in the same way.

okay i've really rambled too much so i'll leave it here, but i hope that helps a little!!! or at least has given you insight into my brain!!!!!!

luv u byeeeeeee

[heroes-of-lemuria]

hey i’m from the “they made stallion quartermane real” post and i saw u know a lot about horses

would you be willing to share more horse facts? 👀

Oh geez, thank you haha! Admittedly, I wouldn’t say I know much about horses, I just love to google animal facts, always try and find real animals to directly base anthro characters on (so I do a lot of that for wizard guys, picking specific species / breeds ), and remember a bit from the ag classes I took in high school. Horse people feel free to correct me but take what I’m saying here with a grain of salt. I’m trying to back up everything I’m saying with some cursory google searches but I am far from a horse expert 😭

Because Stallion was brought up I guess I can talk about anything I mildly know / hc regarding him? For example I went with the Irish Cob for my personal hc for him (these guys have 1000 names. You might have heard them called the Galineers Cob, the tinker horse, or about 5 other names all of which have slurs for Romani peoples in them l, but seem to be what they’re most commonly known as. I tend to go for Irish cob)

They’re a draft breed from the Great Britain and Ireland, and while wizzy doesn’t always fully 1:1 where their anthros are from, it’s a bonus for me. (Soley off of physical descriptions, he could be a Suffolk punch as well … hmm)

I say he’s based on a draft breed, which you can tell from the leg feathering he has, which from my understanding whole all horses have some, the really prominent leg feathers are a trait characteristic of draft breeds. (Also I just personally really prefer draft breeds myself, I like how big and heavyset they are.) From what I can gather, this is because the gene that causes them to grow so prominently is tied to bone density, and draft horses bred for strength to pull plows and carriages have much thicker bones than lighter horse breeds that have been bred more for speed.

Irish Cobs are characteristically hairier than other breeds, which is why they’re known to grow those mustaches. (Googles telling me it’s mainly because of how hairy they are, but they also might help add added sensation to their lips to help them browse for food) The mustache and beard really made me go yeah that’s the stupid horse for me, plus they come in the coloration with blonde-whitish manes and tails and a reddish body color, called flaxen chestnut from what I can find (though maybe its closer to some golden palominos? I don’t know)

Nothing else particular interesting is coming to mind unfortunately. Stallions weird boots he wears kind of resemble certain types of boots made for actual horses? I’m finding conflicting reports on what these are used for. Some places saying tendon support, others saying there’s nothing to support that, and they’re used to correct gait abnormalities. Either way. Stallion do you have bad ankles. It’s ok you can tell me.

(Also stallion has a boot tread texture on the bottom of his hooves, but I think this is stupid so I ignore it. Especially because the snow shoes we see in madness mountain have horse shoes attached to them, what’s the truth kingsisle?!? But I think it’s a funny detail to point out anyway.)

I googled fun horse facts to try to find anything else I could offer, and one of these fact Infographics said “baby horses drink milk” which is hysterical to me to point out as a fact.

Kuro: —Well, she knew she was comin’ to the temple. As expected of the little miss, she didn’t bring her worldly desires here with her ♪

Keito: Kiryu. You- When did you- Anzu, don’t you start nodding your head in agreement over there either. What are you trying to accomplish by admitting to the fact that you’re harboring worldly desires?

Souma: Anzu-dono is quite earnest ♪ Even so, thinking of the ‘Quarrel Festival’ makes me quite nostalgic. That time, with the second half of the-

Keito: Kanzaki, don’t bring that ordeal up again. That one isn’t a flowery memory to be reminiscing about.

Keito: More importantly, now that both of you have returned, I’d like to hear what you two have to say about my ‘Special Outfit.’

Keito: Anzu has provided me with many designs… Honestly, many of them seem appealing, so I’m finding it difficult to settle on just one.

Kuro: Hm, just one… Just one? All of this, from here to here are all costume ideas. Little miss sure wrote down a whole bunch.

Souma: U~umu. All of these costume designs are wonderful indeed, so it is quite troublesome to decide, but if I had to choose just one…

Souma: Judging by Hasumi-dono’s expression, I think that this ‘peiji’ is good.

Kuro: I’m with Kanzaki here. I know ya said you’d listen to our opinion, but ya really like the design on this page the best, don’tcha, danna?

Keito: … How could you tell?

Kuro: Cause, Hasumi, you’re the type to let it show on your face. I could tell you’d pick it by the way you were lookin’ at the sketchbook.

Keito: … Haah. You saw right through me with ease. Clearly, I haven't been training myself enough.

Keito: Both of them were right. I'd like to use this particular design, Anzu.

Keito: Then let's proceed with this, that's right... Anzu, is it alright if I add a few more things to the design I requested?

Keito: That being said, it's difficult to act when being watched so expectantly. Incorrigible...

Souma: Though he says such, Hasumi-dono continues to write with fluid and clean strokes. Such impressive skill is difficult not to admire.

Kuro: Ya did it, little miss. Ya got a note from the 'sensei' you're a big fan of…. ♪

Keito: ... Hm, that's pretty much it. I know I said I'd only add a few more things, but I'm sorry, I ended up asking for a lot more than I had anticipated.

Keito: You say you'll do your best—

Keito: Well, that's a good answer. If you insist that you'll be able to do it all, I'll keep my mouth shut and let you work.

Keito: ... You've always been like that, I think. No matter what I do or say to you, you still maintain the same positive attitude.

Keito: I know it sounds strange hearing it from me, but because I'm such a nag and I drone on and on... To be perceived so positively, it feels odd.

Souma: ? But I feel similarly. I do not dislike Hasumi-dono's lectures.

Souma: To preach is to teach. To a boorish and inexperienced person such as myself, the words of Hasumi-dono, which provide guidance, are nothing but kindness to me.

Souma: Fufu. I am certain Anzu-dono shares the sentiment, correct? Because Hasumi-dono is a kind person.

Keito: .... Is- Is that so...

Kuro: Haha, you feelin' embarrassed cuz of 'em? You're trippin over your words, Danna ♪

Keito: Oh, so you think this is funny, Kiryu? Then I suppose you wouldn't mind if I gave you a long lecture.

Kuro: Whoops, spare me.

Keito: Seriously...

Keito: We've decided on which design proposal to use as a base. Kiryu and Kanzaki are back from their walk too, so they're probably hungry.

Keito: Let's have lunch. I'll prepare it, all of you come help me.

[After lunch]

Keito: —Anzu, a moment please.

Keito: I was telling my parents about why you, the 'Producer' had come to visit. While explaining, I also told them about the 'Special Outfit'.

Keito: They didn't seem to take issue with it, but my parents are allergic to minding their own business, apparently.

Keito: They told me that they had some Kimono lying around that may be of some use. If it interests you, would you like to take a look?

Keito: ... Got it, I'll show you them later. Though you'll likely be receiving more help from my mother than from me, It might be good to have some company.

Keito: …Hm. What, why are you smiling?

Keito: We get along well with eachother...? Well, yes we do. My family is very supportive of my decision to leave the mountain and work on my idol activities.

Keito: Had I remained in the temple, I would have just been a nuisance... I'm grateful to my parents for being understanding of the profession that their child chose.

Keito: I mustn't forget to be thankful to the people in my life that understood and supported me no matter what.

Keito: ... Not just my family, but Kiryu and Kanzaki as well. Being an idol, there have been numerous moments that have made me think to perservere.

Keito: Because the two of them follow me, because they both walk alongside me. I can continue to exist as the leader of 'Akatsuki' without faltering.

Keito: When I look at both of their faces on the stage... When I go home and see the faces of my family...

Keito: I haven't reached this stage by myself. In order to repay the support and encouragement I've received, I must reach higher. Those are my feelings.

Keito: ... Did I catch you off guard by talking like this?

Keito: Anzu, you'll be making my 'Special outfit'. I thought it might be possible to incorporate my personal feelings as an idol into this costume, so I made an attempt to tell them to you.

Keito: When I put my arms through the sleeves of the finished costume... I'd like to reciprocate your support for the same reasons I just mentioned.

Keito: ... Hm? Why are you nervously holding out your sketchbook towards me?

Keito: You came up with a new drawing based on my requests? Fufu, you work quickly.

Keito: (... Hm. This new design proposal is drawn well. It has everything I asked for.)

Keito: ( —And these, Lotus flowers)

Keito: (To be like a lotus that blooms beautifully, even in muddied waters... I know it's ridiculous of me to wish for such a thing.)

Keito: (In this world of showbiz, swirling with conspiracy, I won't be stained. While remaining true to myself, I shall bloom like a flower. As an idol, I shall continue to grow.)

Keito: (Just as I had vowed to Anzu.. For the sake of other people, and by extension, for my own sake. This flower is proof of my wish.)

Keito: ... Ah, sorry. I was just admiring the quality of the work you produced in such a short time.

Keito: Anzu. I look forward to the completion of the 'Special Outfit' that you've created.

[sungtaro]

teubun here, I love that nickname 🐇 I loved reading ur reply sm! I love LOVE hearing people talk abt smithing they love so much and are so passionate about 🩷🥺 I will check everything u said soon !! esp wanna watch that variety u said. the last thing u said abt their friendships was so endearing it made my heart flutter 💓💓 so I wanted to ask what dynamics and friendships do u see in treasure?

omg yaaay pls keep me posted on everything you check out! 💖 and i'm so glad you're also a dynamic / friendship enthusiast sjgknfj there are so many good ones in trsr ... i ended up writing so much again JKSGB and i still am like this is barely even scratching the surface 😂

they all went through a lot together with their survival show (yg treasure box aka ygtb aka my behated) but even before that, a few of them were trainees together for a really long time (hyunsuk, junkyu, yedam, jihoon, and doyoung in korea; yoshi, haruto, mashiho and asahi in japan). hyunsuk basically helped raise doyoung, that's how young he was when they started training together, they're still one of my favorite duos because of that. some of my favorite friendships that i think are like, very real / would exist outside of the context of the group: jihoon and junkyu (total soulmate same age friends, they are HILARIOUS together), jaehyuk and asahi (another same age pair, i think they really bring out the best in each other), haruto and asahi (literally could have had their own rooms but opted to share one instead so that they could make a hangout room and work on music together), and then jeongwoo and jaehyuk (these two are honestly more like actual brothers) -- and that unit of the 4 of them (0104 line!) are basically a functioning family lol they are ALWAYS together in some combination or another. i also love the friendship and dynamic between jihoon and hyunsuk as coleaders, i think it was so smart to have both of them leading the group, they complement each other really well and again there is so much mutual respect and a shared vision for the type of culture they wanted to create for the entire group. you can tell how much the other members look up to them 🥹 yoshi and hyunsuk are also a duo that are often together, junghwan is often with 0104 as well, i really miss yedam with doyoung and junkyu specifically, and mashiho with doyoung 🥲 jeongwoo and any of his hyungs is absolutely hilarious. asahi finding junkyu to be the funniest member is a fun fact that i really love also lol like it's kind of unexpected but it makes sense - there's a lot of little fun bits like that within a group so big.

i also recommend checking out their t-talks where they pair 2 members up to chat (they just rebooted this series with new videos recently, but there are older ones that are really fun to watch bc some of the pairs are still super awkward at the time lol), it's cool to see some duos that you don't normally see opting to hang out together. really any combination will give you something interesting -- if it's not besties or brotherhood, it's maybe an older member seeing themselves in a younger member (jihoon has said this of jaehyuk for example), or differing points of view have helped each other learn or see something in a new light and been helpful to them. and they're a pretty affectionate group too which is what my irl bestie really took to them for haha she said it was really refreshing to see a group of boys that was so openly loving like that -- i know this isn't necessarily unique to trsr because kpop is known for skinship, but she wasn't a kpop fan before i showed them to her, and the affection also encompasses their consideration for each other so it's not just about them being snuggly haha (although that is cute too)! many of them i really don't think would have ever been friends outside of the group honestly but one thing they have ALL done is worked hard to work together and understand each other to be one team 🥹

[tarotlexa]

oh no :( that's okay u still got next time !! but haha i can see that but don't give up !! u can do it, i will manifest more successful exams for u <3

don't let me begin girl AHHH we got water shortage here for nearly 3 days and i'm dyingggg - we got plenty of water bottles so dw i'm staying hydrated !!

why did i blush tho?? haha ig i am drowning in him 😳😳 actually yk what's rlly funny?? when i was 13, i have a very specific image of my ideal type; personality, looks and even his NAME !! and then years later that guy came along and blew me off like ehh WHATT?? it was like i manifested him lolll like it's just too freaking creepyy ..

and rlly is it fine to tell u some more dreams that i had? i had one! i won't go into detail much but apparently this one is a 18+ dream w my crush 💀 but the most weird part of this dream is not that. it's what i saw; there's a circular stair when i look above and there are two people looking down on us; the devil and the lilith. lilith has her chin buried on her palms, and the devil has suits on and a long black trenchcoat and yea ofc he has the horns but he has that CLASS. i wonder if it's bc the dream is nsfw?

omg and about the cards, that might be true!! actually i have some prophetic dreams, and intuitions that came true. so i was rlly pulled into tarot cards [and mostly bc of my friend] oh may i add that i often have the queen of wands appearing whenever i ask about me? my friend emphasizes that one bc out of the 78 cards, it eerily always ALWAYS appears in mine. the sun and the star always appears too so now i got queen of wands and the sun card card in my phone's cover haha kind of like a good luck charm

u must MUST SLEEP WELL [tho kind of hypocritical in my part bc i don't have the best reputation either but am TRYING] omg coffee i love coffee i think i drink more coffee than water haha

GIRLLL ur story is so drama/fate-coded like actually i'm a writer [comic and novel medium] and these scenes r flashing in my head as i read about how you got into tarot. ngl i would've definitely approached you if we were in the same school 😔 i'm too obsessed w tarot .. and aa love that ur father got u ur first deck <333 ig tarot rlly guided u in some way then which is rlly nice to hear. i don't try to depend on tarot much but it still has guided me in a positive way sometimes!

don't WORRY about yapping much, i love that ur sharing about yourself too <3 never ever feel that u bore me with details haha i think it's rlly fun n INFORMATIVE to read whenever i'm done with my day plus i am a writer, so i'm very much curious to learn more about people's lives, what r they like, what do they love to do - it helps me to write better characters haha so just feel free to tell me anything <3

oh right do u have a fave tarot card tho? or what card often appears whenever u ask about yourself? rlly curiousss

i think that's it <3 hope you're having a good day and tell us some updates hehe !! drink water and take plenty of rest 🫶🏻🫶🏻

~ sweet aj 🩷

hello my sweet aj i'm so sorry for not replying sooner but your girl was exhausteddd and catching up on sleep! i hope that you've been doing well, please update me on your water shortage situation and don't forget to drink water!! <333 and thank you so much for your sweet sweet words as usual! i hope i can get some of those good vibes my way soon! (i have yet another exam this week, WHEN WILL THIS END?? AHHH)

also of course, feel free to share your dreams with me, i love to hear about them (or anything really). also omg it sounds like you literally manifested this guy into your life YOU'RE SO POWERFUL!! may i ask why he's still a crush and not a boyfriend though? are you waiting for him to make his move?

also it's super funny how the devil was present with lilith lololol (since lucifer can be connected to the devil card for obvious reason). to me this could be yet another sign of the fact that you and this guy have to get together or something looool could be related to the fact that it was an nsfw dream but i believe it to be deeper than that (like a sort of male and female counterpart/hypothetical soulmates and so on). could be very funny if that were true!

also i looove queen of wands energy because it's actually quite rare for it to be present in someone's life at all times (when you meet one, you simply know). your friend could also see you as someone who's very charismatic or magnetic without being manipulative about it. either way i love it! ALSO HELL YEAH, i love using tarot cards as good luck charms!! especially under my pillow or in my bags <3

also not us being both bad at sleeping byeeeee wtf is up with the energy lately? i have never found it so hard to fall asleep before!! and not in a bad way either, just in a so exhausted i cannot seem to fall asleep way lool

ALSO WOW, A COMIC WRITER? please tell me about your story concepts because that's so intriguing to me (you can always mention them in an inbox and i won't publish it if you're uncomfortable with that!) we definitely would have been great friends in school imo <3 tarot really did guide me into spirituality and loa before i could even know what loa was (that's actually insane to me), i ended up exploring my intuitive gift so much through tarot and i couldn't be possibly more grateful than this. it also led me to some really cool opportunities (reading for "famous" people, helping friends to recover from a heartbreak, predicting some situations in my life, being able to avoid toxic people and so on). also omg choosing a favorite tarot card is so hard for me but if i truly had to choose one it would either be death or the star or the hermit! controversial choices but the death card is very connected to scorpios for the way it brings rebirth into your life and forces you to let go of what doesn't serve you anymore, the star is very similar to me imo (we are both so hopeful and spiritual, we know that there's a plan for us!), the hermit is another favorite of mine because i love subverting societal standards and going my own way. i suppose yours would be the sun or the queen of wands hehe but feel free to prove me wrong!!! much much much much love and thank you for texting me! can't wait for your next update <3
