what do you think sam monroe's playlist would look like?

well in the scenes where it shows his room, i'm pretty sure he has a few marilyn manson posters so i know he'd be in there.

but just judging based on the way he dresses, he looks to be mall goth maybe ??? so he might have a lot of nu metal like system of a down, maybe a few deftones songs, some slipknot, and probably like one limp bizkit song.

and i think he'd have some "non nu metal" bands like type o negative, some old metallica, jane's addiction, bad brains, alice in chains etc

I love your Tristamp Plant-form Vash art! I think it's a great interpretation of a Plant design in the Stampede-universe. It got me thinking of Nai & Vash as full Plants and how they would operate in the tanks alongside their sisters. Thanks for sharing such fun and inspiring artwork!

To be honest, I have some thoughts on the gradual development of Vash and Nai

I really like the idea of limbs that grown up later and jellyfish-like body

Is Love the Answer? by Uta Isaki

[acesincomics]

This month, not one but two manga with aroace protagonists will be released in English!

Kimi no Sekai ni Koi wa Nai (Is Love the Answer?) by Uta Isaki and Watashi wa Kabe ni Naritai (I Want to Be a Wall) Vol. 2 by Honami Shirono are both coming out January 17th!

きみのせかいに恋はない Kimi no Sekai ni Koi wa Nai

Is Love the Answer?

By 伊咲ウタ Uta Isaki

A poignant coming-of-age story about a young woman coming into her own as she discovers her identity as aromantic asexual. A complete story in a single volume, from the creator of Mine-kun is Asexual. When it comes to love, high schooler Chika wonders if she might be an alien. She’s never fallen for or even had a crush on anyone, and she has no desire for physical intimacy. Her friends tell her that she just "hasn't met the one yet," but Chika has doubts… It's only when Chika enters college and meets peers like herself that she realizes there’s a word for what she feels inside--asexual--and she’s not the only one. After years of wondering if love was the answer, Chika realizes that the answer she long sought may not exist at all--and that that's perfectly normal.

Available from Kodansha (Japanese) | (English)

わたしは壁になりたい Watashi wa Kabe ni Naritai

I Want to Be a Wall, Vol. 2

By 白野ほなみ Honami Shirono | Emma Schumacker, Alexis Eckerman (Eng.)

Any good love story starts at the beginning: Where and how did the lovebirds meet? Was it love at first sight? And most importantly, was there a spark? For Yuriko and Gakurouta, their initial meeting was nothing to write home about—after all, matchmaking services aren’t unheard of. But a chance second encounter on the street revealed that as an asexual woman and gay man, they might have much more in common than they initially assumed. And in that moment, they felt not a spark but something better: the seed of a friendship, ready to take root and bloom.

Fic authors self rec!♡ When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤

AHHHH Thank you so much Nova! Sorry it took me forever to get to this, but I appreciate it! I'd send this back to you if you hadn't already done it LOL ❤️ These are NOT in order in terms of favourite to least, it's just 5 fics I really love.

"There's Only One Bed" Trope (Vash x Reader, Wolfwood x Reader) - This is the writing that started all my writings for Trigun and I'm proud of it.

Home (Vash x Reader) - This one is very, very special to me and was written more for myself but I'm happy if others can resonate with it. I'm a nurse in real life so the healersona is real. It's a full fic expansion of this drabble I wrote.

I Need Some Sleep (Vash x Reader) - This is the newest addition right now and I really love it because it ties in my love for music and dancing alongside longing and comfort.

Guide (NSFW - Inexperienced!Choso x Reader) - One of two NSFW fics I've written for one of my other fictional husbands (Choso from JJK). This fic really pushed me out of my comfort zone with writing smut and NSFW content, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! :)

Elysium (Dad!Vash x Reader series, currently ongoing) - This is my first series that I've ever written. It's been an ongoing challenge writing it, but it's also been such a good time and a wonderful learning experience. I really love Dad!Vash (thanks @jellys-compendium I blame you for this).

And then, an honorary mention because even though it's not one of my personal favourites, everybody else seems to find this one particularly enjoyable and I had a blast writing it:

6. Reader tells Knives they slept with Vash (LMAO)

[14dayswithyou]

Is there any character from the cast Ren is willing to tolerate or maybe even starts some kind of friendship with them over time?

✦゜ANSWERED: Probably only River — but even then — it's extremely unlikely ^^; Ren genuinely doesn't have the ability nor capacity to feel empathy for anyone other than Angel, so any form of friendship would be strictly one-sided and doomed for failure T_T

[youatemylollipop]

hello i hope you're well! for when the time comes that you'll be open for requests could i put in one about how gintoki and katsura (separate) would feel about the kiss marks left behind from their s/o's lipstick/gloss? Would they be embarrassed, would they Like it, would it be a turn on, that sort of thing (bonus idea what about an s/o who likes receiving kisses from paako and zurako 🫣)

thank you ♡!!

A/N: I am seriously hoping that this didn’t get as bad as I think it did.🙃

Ft: Katsura Kotarō & Sakata Gintoki, bonus ➵ Pako & Zurako (Gintama).

Katsura Kotarō

➵ Unlike Gintoki, Katsura finds the kiss marks left by his s/o's lipstick or gloss to be quite attractive. He loves showing them off to his friends and boasting about how great his s/o is.

➵ Katsura is also quite affectionate with his s/o, but in a more reserved and gentlemanly way. He likes holding their hand and giving them chaste kisses on the cheek.

➵ When his s/o kisses him on the neck, Katsura finds it very sensual and romantic. He likes the feeling of their lips on his skin and often tilts his head to give them better access.

➵ Katsura is a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to relationships. He believes in courtship and chivalry, and likes to treat his s/o like royalty.

➵ However, he's not opposed to a bit of adventure in the bedroom. Katsura enjoys trying out new positions and techniques with his s/o, as long as it's done with love and respect.

➵ Katsura is a very creative person, and he likes to express his love for his s/o through art and poetry. He's not the best artist or poet, but his s/o always appreciates the effort.

➵ When his s/o kisses him on the lips, Katsura likes to take things slow and savor the moment. He often closes his eyes and lets himself get lost in the sensation.

➵ Katsura also loves giving his s/o small gifts and surprises to show how much he cares. He likes to hide little notes or trinkets around their apartment for them to find.

➵ Despite his reserved nature, Katsura has a bit of a wild side. He enjoys going out with his s/o.

You lean in to kiss Katsura on the neck, your lips leaving behind a mark of your lipstick. You feel his body shiver slightly under your touch, and you smile to yourself, knowing how much he enjoys this.

"Is that a new shade of lipstick?" Katsura asks, turning his head to look at you with a gentle smile.

"Yeah, it is. Do you like it?" You reply, tracing your finger along the mark on his neck.

"I do," he says, his voice softening. "I find it quite attractive, actually."

You feel your cheeks flush at his words, and you lean in to kiss him again, this time pressing your lips a bit harder against his skin. Katsura lets out a quiet sigh, tilting his head to give you better access.

"You know, I think I like this more than I thought I would," he says, his hand moving to caress your cheek.

"Really? I'm glad," you reply, feeling a warmth spread through your body at his touch.

Katsura pulls you closer to him, his other hand resting on your waist. You feel his lips brush against your ear as he whispers, "I love you, my dear."

You smile, feeling your heart swell with love for this reserved and gentlemanly man who makes you feel so cherished. You lean in to give him a chaste kiss on the cheek, and he returns the gesture, holding your hand tightly in his.

As you both stand there, wrapped up in each other's embrace, you feel a sense of contentment wash over you. This is where you belong, in Katsura's arms, leaving your mark on his neck and his heart.

Sakata Gintoki

➵ Gintoki is a bit self-conscious about the kiss marks left by his s/o's lipstick or gloss, but he tries to play it cool by acting like he doesn't care. However, deep down, he finds it a bit embarrassing.

➵ On the other hand, Gintoki really enjoys leaving kiss marks on his s/o's skin, especially if it makes them blush or giggle.

➵ When his s/o kisses him on the neck, Gintoki finds it really ticklish, but he tries to hold back his laughter to avoid looking too vulnerable.

➵ Despite his reputation as a womanizer, Gintoki is actually quite shy when it comes to initiating physical contact with his s/o. He often waits for them to make the first move.

➵ However, once he gets going, Gintoki is very affectionate and loves cuddling with his s/o. He especially likes nuzzling his face into their hair.

➵ Gintoki is a bit of a romantic at heart, but he often hides it behind his sarcasm and cynicism. He secretly loves watching cheesy romance movies and reading sappy love stories.

➵ When his s/o kisses him on the lips, Gintoki likes to deepen the kiss and explore their mouth with his tongue. He finds it very intimate and passionate.

➵ Gintoki also loves leaving little love notes for his s/o, either on paper or on their phone. He enjoys coming up with witty and humorous messages to make them smile.

➵ Whenever his s/o is feeling down or stressed out, Gintoki likes to give them gentle massages to help them relax. He's surprisingly good at it!

➵ Finally, Gintoki is a big fan of role-playing in the bedroom. He enjoys pretending to be a different character or trying out new scenarios with his s/o.

You sit at the bar, sipping on your cocktail, while Gintoki nurses his glass of sake next to you. You couldn't resist leaving a few lipstick marks on his cheek earlier, as a sign of your affection. But you notice he seems a bit self-conscious about them, even though he tries to act cool and nonchalant.

As you chat and laugh, you lean in and plant a kiss on his neck, causing his body to tense up. You know he's incredibly ticklish, but he tries to hold back his laughter to avoid looking too vulnerable.

"Ticklish, huh?" You tease, running your fingers over his neck.

Gintoki tries to deny it, but you can tell by the way his body reacts that he's telling a fib. You lean in to kiss him again, this time on the lips, and he relaxes into the moment, forgetting all about the lipstick marks on his cheek.

After a few more drinks and some more teasing, Gintoki finally gives in and lets out a loud laugh as you tickle him. You can see the vulnerability in his eyes, but you also see the love he has for you.

As you leave the bar, you link your arm with his, feeling grateful to have him by your side. Even if you leave lipstick marks all over his face and tickle him until he can't breathe, you wouldn't have it any other way.

Bonus (Pako & Zurako)

[ I was debating whether to use 'she' or 'he' pronouns, and now I'm just confused. 😫 ]

Pako (Sakata Gintoki)

➵ Pako is a bit shy when it comes to public displays of affection, but when she's alone with her s/o, she's more than happy to shower them with kisses.

➵ She loves the feeling of being close to someone and making them happy, and she finds that kissing is one of the best ways to do that. Her kisses are often playful and teasing, but when she's feeling especially affectionate, they can be quite passionate and intense.

➵ Pako likes to surprise her s/o with kisses when they least expect it. She'll sneak up behind them and plant a quick kiss on their cheek or forehead, or she'll pull them into a sudden, passionate kiss when they're least expecting it.

➵ Her s/o never knows when she's going to strike, but they love the feeling of being constantly surprised by her affection.

➵ Pako loves to give her s/o butterfly kisses. She'll flutter her eyelashes against their cheek or nose, making them laugh and squirm with delight.

➵ She finds it incredibly cute and endearing when her s/o giggles or blushes from her butterfly kisses, and she loves nothing more than making them feel happy and loved.

Zurako (Katsura Kotarō)

➵ Zurako is a very romantic person, and she loves to show her affection through physical touch. She’s always happy to give her s/o kisses, whether they're quick pecks on the cheek or long, passionate smooches.

➵ She finds kissing to be a very intimate and meaningful act, and she enjoys the feeling of being close to her s/o.

➵ Zurako is a bit of a hopeless romantic, and she loves to sweep her s/o off their feet with grand romantic gestures. She’ll often surprise them with kisses in unexpected places, like on a park bench or in the middle of a crowded street.

➵ She loves to make her s/o feel special and loved, and she’ll go to great lengths to show them how much she cares.

➵ Zurako's kisses are often very sweet and gentle. She loves to hold her s/o close and nuzzle their neck or ear before giving them a soft, tender kiss.

➵ She finds it incredibly romantic to share small, intimate moments like these with her s/o, and she treasures every chance she gets to show them how much she loves them.

Hiii so glad you took the time you needed for yourself!! Always put yourself first, this shouldn’t feel like an obligation or a job but an escape and a way to relax 💗Also really glad to see you’re back! Do you think you’ll be participating in kinktober?? I still can’t get your aaron x spencer threesome out my head (not that i want to 🫠). I just wanted to ask and hope you have a great day! 🫶🏻

[insinirate]

Vash not weaponising his big beautiful Ghibli tears is a damn shame 😔 he'd win so many battles! He waited too long to try them in Nai, they were already plummeting to death! He needed to start sobbing when he was hammering at the piano, before the soup

i keep saying so many terrible things couldve been avoided if vash just kissed nai on the mouth

[rayofmisfortune]

Mayyyyyyyy I hear about some of the lore for the fireboy and watergirl au? Or just anything you feel like sharing about it >_<

I'm just basically asking you to ramble about your thing if you'd like

(Even if it doesnt have much on it posted rn I really love it already >_<)

,Jester

Ooooh YOU BOTH ASKED THE SAME THING I- *shakes*

( @millenniumproductions tagging you so you get the notif as well eheh, hope that's okay)

I LOVE the idea of calling them Solare and Wamoon! Would it be alright with u if I refered to them with those names? :0 more than okay if not!

Didn't expect people would like this lil idea of mine but EEEEEEEE I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE GLAD TO BE WRONG

The au's lore?

Basicallyyyy the au starts off the same as the 'Eclipse's horrible puzzle in vrchat' video. With a TWIST- Solar and Moon literally get turned into fireboy and watergirl!

The temple they are both trapped in is more reminiscent to the one you have to get through in the actual fireboy and watergirl games! (Thinking the temple from FB&WG 1) So, they have to find their way through various difficult puzzles to get out and escape.

About Solar and Moon

Just like fireboy and watergirl, they can't touch the other's element. With one added bonus: they can't even touch eachother. They wouldn't die from such a small exposure, but boi does it hurt when they do accidentally brush shoulders.

Solar's gloves are the only means by which he can touch Moon to not get hurt. And similarly, Solar's gloves are the only thing Moon can touch without any pain response.

They both have control over their respective elements, which can be utilised in solving some of the puzzles!

The temple

I'd imagine the temple is under some form if spell cast by Eclipse to make it have these effects on people. Picturing a sort of magical dome in which the spell has its effect. Plus, now it's a little more than a "shitty puzzle" hehe

There are no respawns. It's not a game. When one of them enters the other's element (Solar steps into water, Moon steps into lava. Both step into acid.) they have only a few moments to get out before they get extinguished/vaporised. When this happens, they get seriously injured and need to take a moment to recover. (Or insist on being fine and push on to just get out already. Surely the exit to this place is just behind this room's doors, right?)

Their reaction to waking up in the temple (and the reason why it took me so long to answer ahaha):
