Has anybody ever thought about when MC and their respective suitor started getting intimate, and MC's brain goes straight to "wait-do you have a condom?" and they're just like "....wut???" Like you went from 21st century to the 16th or 19th century, so you have to stop them and explain to them the uses of condoms and what it's for. Like:
hai hai, can i have mai and elbert with 🧵? thank u, have a great day!
You too! ❤ Hope you like it!

MAI:
"A haori?! You sewed that for me?"
The moment your beloved Mai takes your gift and examines it under the lamplight, you're already too nervous to meet her gaze - but you still do, because, it's her expression that has kept you company in the pink-tinted depths of your imagination, during those long nights spent working on the haori. Her eyes indeed are as bright and full of excitement and curiosity as you imagined them to be, the warm caramel shade now having those little flames in it that you wish you could catch like fireflies in a jar, all for you to silently admire in the darkness of the night.
...It takes some courage to present her with your craft, given that she's a known master of the field.
"The design is so pretty! I will try it on right away!"
Mai jumps to her feet and you follow, gently gathering her long brown hair and keeping it out of the way while she puts on the haori. But suddenly, she has to stop.
"What the- My hand won't get through the sleeve? Oh..! It seems like the inside of the sleeve is sewn shut!"
Oh no. No way you neglected such a big detail... You swear you can feel your body melting to a sorry goop that can hopefully slide under the tatami mats and not see another day. You totally disappointed your beloved Mai with your gift now...
"Somehow I don't feel like this is you being clumsy with the needle and the thread... could it be that you were too excited to give it to me that you forgot to check?"
You blink and wonder which option is better for your poor heart to handle, watching Mai get her sewing supplies in the meanwhile, which are always conveniently in close reach here in her room.
"I do appreciate your gift, more than I can tell you! Thank you for the hard work you put into this, I will show you how to fix it right away, so I can put it on already... I can't wait!"

ok I finally got motivation to do this after so many months. sorry for taking so long ;-; if there is anything wrong or you think is different, please let me know, I will change it.
Few notes again:
in game full design was submitted to me by @marinelezard thank u sm! I think you can find some more on Google as well.
I'm no expert about Kimono or Sengoku JP fashion. If there is something wrong, let me know.
I researched about regular Kimonos on Google, so if you still find things confusing or want more info about it, you should do your own research to clear up your questions.
For the Sakura patterns, just get some flower brush or image then slap it on top of the colour layer lol, don't think too hard.
There are many ways of tying the Obi apparently, but from Ieyasu's console ver. route, it was flat rectangle shape, not bow or anything.
idk how the sleeves exactly works, because I can't see how much fabric is with her sleeve, and Kimono also varies a lot in sleeve fabric sizes.
I'm no expert in hair again because I'm bad at doing them, but I think they are called fish tail braids??? idk lol (I got short hair so never done that before)
This one seems to be the most consistent out of all other ikemen mc's though. So you can pretty much refer to most cg and it should be fine.
Where I Think The Oda Forces Sit During War Councils
With my own thoughts and opinions and information that has been proven in the game, I have come up with a seating plan that I think the Oda Forces use when having war councils in the audience hall. Feel free to express your opinions on your thoughts or seating plans.
I started Kenshin's route (where else could I go after Ieyasu) and finally understood why these words caused such an explosive reaction from Kenshin.
In fact, I think his reaction wasn't as bad as it could have been. He was probably holding himself back.
When I first read this, I thought it was probably because he hates women. Sasuke have mentioned about it… Mai doesn't really believe that's the case, but who knows…
But now that I know the context, I see it as an incredibly strong scene. And the developers showed us this in 1st chapter…
Part of @aquagirl1978 's "a series of firsts" challenge
Prompt: First child (getting used to life as parents)
In which while getting used parenthood, you and Keiji introduce your newborn son to the Oda forces.
~~~
A shrill cry woke you both out of your sleep, he heard you before he could even open his eyes completely. "Oh my baby" you soothingly said, as the light assaulted your eyes. Quickly assimilating to the light Keiji saw you bump into the wall before feeling for the door, finding it and sliding it open.
He took a moment to sigh before sitting himself up and pulling the covers off.
He'd long since realized his dream, bringing an alliance back from Echigo. Becoming lord of the land, giving a home to his parents. Marrying you, becoming a father.
He inhales as he breaks out of his reverie at the sound of the door opening and closing. "Maybe we should move his room, it's always cold in there" you say, voice laced with exhaustion matching your dark eye bags, walking over to the futon, your son of barely 5 months in your arms. "Yeah? Maybe next to ours, instead of down the hall" he answers as he ties his hair. You nod in agreement, smiling at him as he settles himself behind you.
"Good morning" he says leaning over to kiss your temple, taking the blanket and repositioning it to cover both you and the babe in your arms. "Morning" you say back, letting the yukata slip off your shoulder in order to feed him. "How many hours did you get" he asks softly so as not to jostle the baby who is blissfully feeding on your nipple. "Hours? More like minutes" you joke, not entirely a lie, he laughs "after they go, get some sleep I'll watch him" Keiji offers not looking away from your half asleep baby. "Nah, you need sleep too, don't think I don't know you're sleep schedule is worse than mine" despite your words your tone was as soft as ever. "Okay" he tenderly whispers in your ear followed by a slight nibble to your earlobe.
"Keiji" you whimper, "they'll be here soon" you breathe out as he works his way down your neck. "So..." he reasons, you turn to him lips slightly parted as he leans into you slowly, his hand lightly caressing your jaw. Your lips are the only thing on his mind.
You feel a breath of cold air on your nipple right before your son's high pitched mewls turned into high pitched cries breaking the mood.
You both heave a sigh, before separating, he helps you restate your robes. "Do you know how much time we have before they get here?" You ask as he takes your baby to change his diaper "soon, but probably not until after breakfast" he estimates.
You hand your son off to the nursemaid, so that you and Keiji can enjoy breakfast together. After that you dressed the baby and then yourselves. Before going to the meeting room you took a mat for him to lay on along with a few toys that you knew he liked.
~~~
A delighted smile spread across your face as you wiggled the den-den daiko, one of the many gifts gifted to him by his grandparents. His cheerful gurgle and drool making its way past his chin, he flails as he sees your smile making your soar. The light of the sun breaks through the crack of the shoji doors illuminating his rosy cheeks making a sheer contrast to the bright blue kimono you'd made him.
"A strong voice makes good on the battlefield" Nobunaga's booming voice echoes throughout the meeting room, as you turned around you saw everyone pile in.
After exchanging greetings everyone took their seat around the room. You handed him to Nobunaga, helping him support your son in the right places.
"I think he has your nose" Hideyoshi whispers from his place between you and his liege lord, the latter's attention consumed by the child he was currently bouncing through the air. A breathy laugh leaves your lips "yeah and he has Keiji's hair" you whisper back. As your conversation dies down you both turn back to Nobunaga and the baby staring intensely into his eyes, kicking his feet as the former bounces him into the air.
He'd been doing this for quite a while now so you were concerned. "You might want to put him down for a minute, he might-" words dying down in your throat, pulling your lips back into a thin line.
Some watched in terror others in surprise as your son's throw up met its mark, on Nobunaga's face.
Your son's cries of displeasure followed right after as he felt the a sting in the back of his throat.
"Nobunaga-sama!" Hideyoshi's shocked voice broke everyone out of their stupor.
You didn't have to see Mitsuhide's smile as his snicker was enough to warrant a quick reprimand from Hideyoshi.
A small "oh..." escaped Mitsunari as Masamune and Ieyasu wore matching expressions of silenced shock.
Sighing you made your way to the door, hollering out for some towels and water as Keiji made his way from next to you to gather the child from Nobunaga's hands.
Said lord kept his eyes closed, not uttering a single word as chaos around him ensued. You made your way back over to him towels in one hand and a bowl of water in the other, placing one dampened towel in his free hand and the others on his knee.
Upon lifting your hand with another dampened towel, he holds up his hand to accept the towel from you. "Well..." you begin before finishing "at least your clothes are safe." Time stops as everyone in the room freezes astonished by your statement. "Y/n!!!" Hideyoshi scolds his tone scaring your son even more, you turn as Keiji struggles the fussing baby in his arms. "Hideyoshi please don't scare the baby" Ieyasu chimes in from his spot.
Hideyoshi's retort is cut off as everyone's attention is drawn to the slight chuckle coming from their liege lord. You turn surprise plastered on your face, as he leans forward so as not to get the retch in his mouth while wiping his face with the towels. As his laughter quieted down, you handed him the other towel so you could help your struggling husband.
"You got 'em" Keiji asked as you situated your son in your arms in a way that didn't involve getting the spit up on your kimono. "Yeah" you assured as you gently rocked him in your arms, careful not to agitate him any further. Gently thanking Keiji as he opened the door for you to swiftly exit and change his dirty clothes.
~~~
Sliding the door closed was harder with a 14 pound baby in your other arm. Mitsunari, being closest to the door, rushed from his sitting position to your aid "here" he said reaching behind you to close the door. You quickly thanked him and went to sit by the others, who were huddling around something.
"What's goin' on" Keiji turned at the sound of your honeyed voice, he swears you make his heart stutter every time. Keiji nods towards the center of the circle where multiple items were splayed out on the floor, some laying on the clean towels from earlier. "Awww" you swooned at the sight of baby sandals, several sounds of laughter meet your ears as you slowly sit down.
"Who?"
You asked, eyes a little teary voice wavering with emotion, making your husband's eyes and heart soften. Looking around the room you saw Hideyoshi put up his arm with a slightly bashful smile. You thanked him passionately the tears welling up in your eyes, pregnancy hormones not quite all gone, he waved his hand as he eased you a bright smile on his face.
"Lass" Masamune drew your attention to the small posh in front of you. Your look of confusion melted into one of adoration as he opened the pouch to reveal a small container filled with puréed fruit. Taking the spoon he had with it you gently placed some of the fruit on your son's parted lips. Everyone waited in silence as he contemplated the new flavor invading his senses, you and your husband laugh as your baby lifts his eyebrows in confusion, before using all of his strength to reach for the spoon again.
Your shared laughter was heard from down the hall, laughter that would illuminate your home for years to come.
I love IkeVamp, but there are some issues with it.
I don’t like how they made Jean (Joan) into a man. If they didn’t want to add a female character, they should have chosen a different historical figure. I know it’s just a game and it shouldn’t matter, but they took away the achievements of one of the greatest women in history and stuck them on to a man (you can just say you’re homophobic, Cybird, we don’t care).
Next is something I will admit I am guilty of. Leonardo was gay and you can not change my mind. There are no records or proof that he was ever with a woman, but there are a lot of well based theories showing he was gay. Adding him in and having him as a love interest for a female player invalidates his sexuality. Once again, he is one of my favourites so I am guilty of this, but I wouldn’t be if Cybird left him alone.
Now a little rant about Mitsuki (I do like her, but there are times I just can’t do it). She’s not naive, but completely clueless with everything. Do you remember that mafia AU event a while ago? In Arthur, Theo and Vincent’s story, she infiltrated their base or whatever. When Arthur mentions something about her identity, she responds with, “What?” In this AU she was an undercover cop. Of course they were going to be suspicious of you! She’s ditsy in the annoying way and can’t figure out shit for herself. She also cries too much, and she falls in love within a week. She always jumps in front of the suitor with her arms stretched wide, then when someone goes to strike her she just keeps her eyes shut. It happens ALL. THE FUCKING. TIME. The only “talents” that are portrayed in her are the ability to cook and clean. All the suitors are brave, strong boys while she is a housewife. They enforced outdated gender roles in this game, and it seriously pisses me off.
If you look at MCs like Mai, she is similar, but she’s stronger emotionally and she’s actually funny at times.
I wish Cybird would be more historically accurate, and stop repeating the MCs as well as tropes. It’s getting really annoying and makes me want to stop playing these games.
