#ryo is still so handsome

[toyogamii]

pt.1 pt.2

“i didn’t take you for the sit down restaurant type, ryo,” you bring your drink up to your lips and offer him a teasing smirk. he huffs and pulls at the collar of his black button down.

he doesn’t know how the hell you managed to get him, ryomen sukuna, resident town bad ass; on an actual date. but the way that sweet nickname you’ve taken to calling him rolls of your tongue might have something to do with it.

“hah, I’m usually not… figured you might be though,” he mumbles the last part, his ears turning a slight pink and you grin.

“well i appreciate you trying something new for me,” you look around at the candles and the suits and ties and most importantly at the gorgeous tattooed man in front of you (who looks so awkward in the most adorable way possible).

“however,” you continue, “i’d much rather you be comfortable for our date.”

“yeah?” he asks, giving you a grateful smile.

you nod.

“wanna get outta here?”

he flashes you a charming grin.

“hell yeah… though you might regret asking that, sweetheart.”

mere moments later you’re flying down the road, your heart pounding as you hold tight to sukuna’s waist. he’s graceful and calm as he drives the motorcycle but that does little to slow your breathing.

you’re wearing his helmet, but even through the darkened screen you can still see just how handsome he is. the street lights give him a halo like effect and the wind whips through his pink hair, pushing it out of his face.

“just a couple more minutes, doll!” he hollers over the sound of the wind and you nod, leaning your head on his broad back as best you can.

when he finally comes to a stop and you get off, your legs are still shaking and you take just a minute to gather yourself before looking around.

“takin me to a second location to dump my body off?” you ask, a brow raised.

sukuna gives you a dead pan look and pulls the helmet off your head. he freezes for just a minute as he takes in the way your hair is a mess and your makeup is a bit smudged but your eyes are crinkling and your smile is- god your smile is gonna fucking kill him one of these days.

“not funny,” he replies when he finally moves, flicking your forehead. you scrunch your face into a pout and god he wants to kiss you silly.

“where are we exactly?”

“come on.”

he turns and walks off and you hurry to catch up with him, slipping your hand into his. it takes everything in him not implode. your hand is warm and soft and so much smaller than his.

you’re killing him, he thinks, and yet… he doesn’t really seem to mind it. usually, the sound of someone rambling on and on would annoy the piss out of him. but listening to you chatter as he guides the both of you through the dark and dense patch of trees… if you’re killing him, he could die a happy man.

“we’re here,” he says. you peek around in him and gasp softly. you’re on a hill, overlooking the entirety of your home town. the street lights blare and you can hear the faint sounds of the city but the contrasting of the soft twinkling stars and the warmth of sukuna’s hand in yours has you reeling.

“it’s beautiful,” you murmur.

“i used to take yuuji here… before i had full custody of him. just to get him away from all… that.”

you nod and rest your head on his shoulder, not pushing him any further.

“i’m sure he loved it.”

sukuna chuckles and his arm makes its way around your waist.

“yeah, little brat would cry and cry when we had to leave. he won’t even remember it when he’s older though.”

you look up at him only to see he’s already looking down at you.

“you’ll remember it.”

“… yeah.”

there’s silence, a pause where time stops and suddenly the rest of the world fades away to nothing. it’s just you and him in a little bubble, away from all the craziness of the world.

before you can open your mouth to say anything, sukuna’s lips on yours. the kiss is everything that he isn’t; soft, gentle, hesitant. your arms come up to wrap around his neck and his grip on your waist tightens.

he never wants to stop kissing you. he can’t get enough of the way your tongue feels sliding against his and how your body trembles slightly as he holds you.

yeah… you’re gonna kill him one of these days, he just knows it.

hii hope you’re doing good and taking care of yourself!! Can u do jjk men headcannons when their s/o is finds a bug and is telling them to kill it (can u also add nanami)

JJK MEN KILLING BUGS FOR THEIR PARTNER

featuring. nanami kento, gojo satoru, sukuna ryomen x reader

warnings. cursing, bugs ew.

note. hii anonnn, as a person who despises bugs a lot. yes. this request is just *chefs kiss*, and i'm doing absolutely amazing bby, hbuuu?? i hope you like it and thank you so much for requesting mwah mwah <;33

AND U GUYS WE REACHED 800+ FOLLOWERS??? i really don't know what to say, thank you so much <33 this means a lot to me, and i feel so loved i'm gonna cry. i love u all

NANAMI KENTO. your knight in shining armor. the moment you called out for him in a voice lacing with worry, he just knows what was up — you'd be fifteen minutes in your shower, and nanami is in the living room watching the television until you call out to him. voice loud, mixing in with the vivid sounds of water pouring.

"ken!"

he jolts up in surprise and walked towards the bathroom door, raising his hand to knock on the door a couple times, "are you alright, sweetheart?" he asks.

"come in, please," your voice was meek, and he could hear the shower turn off.

the male slowly opens the door, and he could feel the steam from your shower caressing his face lightly. you were there, still inside the shower with a nervous smile and a towel wrapping around you, "bug. kill. please?" was all you said.

"where is it, baby?"

you pointed at the sink, and there it was — the sacred and vile being, just sitting there beside the sink. though, it was so little nanami almost laugh, but seeing his partner being terrified; he was not going to make fun of them, he finds it adorable actually. and glad that the first thing you decided to do was call him for help.

nanami didn't even use a tissue, no hitting, no slapping, no squishing; he just grabs the bug in his grasp and tells you to have a nice shower and left.

your knight in shining armor.

GOJO SATORU. little bastard would definitely be all bark and no bite, he's all about that "oh, it's just a bug, baby. it's not like it's going to kill you" or "come on, baby, what's a bug going to do?"

until it flies. and he uses you as a shield.

"y/n kill that disgusting thing! holy fuck, i'm going to die." he cowered behind you, pointing at a little bug just resting on top of the kitchen counter — you rolled your eyes at him, not even having the energy to be as scared as him anymore.

"oh, it's just a bug, satoru. it's not like it's going to kill you," you mimicked his words sarcastically, and the male glares at you, wrapping his arms around you.

"it flies," he mumbled lowly, "bugs that can fly are disgusting. and don't quote my words on me, it hurts my pride," he kisses your shoulder, almost pouting.

"rock, paper, scissors? loser kills it," you asked him, raising your balled up fist with a smirk on your face.

he sighs, "bring it on, loser."

gojo lost. it took him half an hour and half a can of bug spray along with a mask to protect his handsome face from a possible bug attack, a pan lid to use as a shield, and a sandal (for protection) to get rid of the said bug.

SUKUNA RYOMEN. ignores you at first because you couldn't actually be serious? a human scared of a bug? just the mere thought of it makes him break out into laughter.

until he actually realizes it was that serious.

"brat, are you really not going to come out because there's a bug on the door?" he asks out in annoyance, standing in front of the door where you were on the other side of the open door, nodding with a lop-sided grin.

"come on, ryo. i hate bugs, 've always told you that," you rolled your eyes, crossing your arms.

"it's a bug. it won't do anything," sukuna mutters out.

"bug bites kill more people than shark attacks every year," you informed him, drumming your foot as your anxious eyes looked over to the bug as it moves slowly all over the surface of the door, "ryo, please. just squish it."

"why don't you squish it?"

"because i'm scared."

"well, ha ha. i'm scared too," he tells you with a proud smirk, crossing his arms. he finds joy in seeing you like this, really — he finds it laugh worthy, sukuna could do this all day.

"huh. the king of curses having a fear of bugs? how cute." you muttered out.

alright, that took him by surprise. the male stomps over to the door and got rid of the said bug almost immediately, "'m not scared, i was just kidding."

"i know, i said that so you could kill the bug for me," you walked out of the door, brushing past him with a big smile.

Rich Baby Daddy pt. one (sukuna x reader)

Summary: You're invited to a party by a close friend and end up bumping into someone from your past.

Warnings: none.

The mornings used to be your favorite. Waking up next to your hunk of a man. The sun shining through your bedroom windows. Oh how you missed those lovely mornings.

Now however, your mornings consisted of you waking up at the crack of dawn due to your crying 4 year old. bathing and clothing not only yourself but your child as well, making breakfast, and somehow managing to get to work on time.

Now on your days off, if you were lucky, Yuji, your son, would sleep in. And if god was somehow on your side that day, your baby daddy might even come pick up his son for awhile, giving you some free time. But those days were rare considering Sukuna is a business man.

Sukuna is the CEO of jujutsu tech, a huge electronic corporation. you had met him through your close friend getou and hit it off. Eventually you two moved in with each other and not long after that he got you pregnant.

Times have changed though unfortunatley. Sukuna is a very hard working man, so hardworking that he put his job before his own family. About a year after yuji was born you decided to leave after getting into a big argument with sukuna, taking yuji with you.

At first you stayed with your parents for a while before finding yourself a cute apartment in the city, it was a two bedroom 1 and a half bathroom. That's where you and yuji have been ever since.

You and your baby dad have had a neutral relationship ever since, sukuna of course always trying to get you to go back but times have changed and you are a new woman.

As of now it was about 1:00pm. You worked as a journalist in the new station in the city, not to far from your apartment. sitting at your desk, going through old news feed, your phone dings.

Looking over you see youve gotten a message. It was from Getou.

Geto: hey, theres some kind of party later a friend of mine is hosting. Wanted to know if u were interested in being my plus 1 ;p

You giggle to yourself. What a flirt. You could always drop yuji off to your parents for the night, after all they loved your little pink haired baby. And on top of that you could use a night out.

Quickly typing back to geto you respond,

Me: Sounds interesting.. Whats the dresscode?

geto: formal. I figure you might get a good story out of one of these rich folks huh?

Me: hmmm i think im sold suguru.

geto: great! ill pick you up at 8.

"L/N! I'm not paying you to text on your phone! I need a story!" You hear your boss, Mark yell from his office behind you.

You roll your eyes before collecting your things, standing up you head over to marks office. "The Richardsons are hosting a party tonight, i'm gonna see what tea i can find. I know the juliani"s are hiding something." You say leaning against the door frame.

"yeah well the Juliani's have a mind of their own."

"im gonna leave to go get ready." you say turning around, heading to the exit.

"L/N!" Mark calls out to you making you stop and turn to face him. "be careful. I don't need another Journalist coming up missing." You nod your head before leaving the building and heading to the parking lot.

It was true, the last journalist who went to investage the Juliani family, they turned up missing. In fact it was your coworker Nobara Kugisaki. Police reports were made out by her family about a week ago and nothing has come up.

you shivered as you walked to your car, the cold making it so you can see your breathe. Once you reached your car, a small 2020 Honda civic, you opened your door and put your bags in.

"Y/n" you freeze, hearing that oh so sexy voice say your name for the first time in what? months?

Turning around you find yourself face to face with the man you once loved, oh who are you kidding still love. He was wearing a long black coat and black jeans, his pink hair ruffled as usual and his tattoos just added to his handsome features.

"ryo- what are you doing here?" You ask, crossing your arms.

He walks closer to you, making you take a step back, leaning against your cars back door.

"i just wanted to see you." He says quietly, swiping a piece of your hair out of your face and behind your ear. You can't help but blush.

Pushing his hand away, you roll your eyes. "What are you really here for" you werent an idiot. Sukuna is a powerful man and busy one at that, there was no way he got out of work just to come see you.. especially considering he barely seen your son. But you couldn't be mad after all he was sending you checks every few weeks with at least 3,000$ on them.. so he was still providing for you and yuji in a way.

He chuckles, "I heard youre going to that party later with Getou.."

Was he serious right now? "What about it?" You question, eyebrow perking up.

"Don't go." He says darkly.

"Are you kidding me? What are you jealous? I'm a grown woman i deserve a night out once in a while!" You say before turning away and hoping in your car.

Sukuna leans against your window, so you roll it down. "Look kitten, if i were you i'd actually listen to your baby dad for once. It's not gonna be pretty" he smiles before backing away from your car.

You take this opportunity to pull out of the parking lot, making your way to yuji's daycare.

When you arrive at the daycare. You are first greeted by gojo, one of the daycare teachers and also getou's best friend.

"Well hello there Y/N! Here for yuuji?" Gojo asks, leaning towards you. "Its nap time right now so the children are asleep."

"Well unfortunately i'm going to have ti disturb his sleep because we have a pretty busy schedule for tonight" you laugh. "How have you been?" You havent really had a conversation with gojo in a while, you and him werent close, maybe because of how much of an extrovert he is.

"Im alriiight! I got a new apartment on 37th its a real beautyy." He drags on.

"Nice! Thats good to here" gojo pulls out his walky talky and yells loudly, "yuji has an early dismissal!!"

Next thing you know, theres a bunch of crying children in the next room over. What an idiot. You mentally facepalm.

Shoko, another daycare teacher comes out with yuji in her arms. He looks over to you and smiles.

After you get yuji and yourself situated in the car, you guys make your way over to your parents house. You had called them on your way to get yuji and of course they were more then thrilled to take yuji for the night.

Your parents lived anout 25 minutes away from the city so the drive wasnt too bad. Yuji was in his carseat playing on his ipad and minding his business.

"Mommy can i have 100$" your four year old says randomly. You cant help but laugh loudly.

"What do you need $100 for butt?" You ask, looking back at your som through the rear view mirror.

"I want a trampoline" he says, looking at you.

"You already have a trampoline at Nana's house and youre going there right now."

"But thats at nana's i want my own! My friend megumi has one at his house" he says, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah yeah."

After dropping your sin off to your parents, and making your way make home, you look through your closet trying to find a decent formal dress. You did have quit a few dresses considering you and sukuna would attend parties and other get togethers for business reasons.

Coming across a long black velvet dress you stop your search. This dress is skin tight and strapless, but has small diamonds adorned around the dress, making it sparkle just right.

Once you got dressed and finished your makeup, you put your hair up into a slick back ponytail, and added a little star charm clip to go with it. You looked absolutely gorgeous. Though your choice in heels would definitely make your feet sore after a night of dancing, looking good is what truly mattered. After all you were really only going to collect some dirt on any of the business men doing work with the Juliani's.

Tonight sure was going to be interesting.

akira fudo [devilman crybaby]

fluffy headcanons

—Akira is the biggest simp. He has several romantic notions about what a relationship should be like, and he’s excited to finally have someone to shower with love. Between his teenage years, when people would rarely glance his way romantically, and the years he spent adjusting to life as a devilman, when he was more focused on stopping the impeding apocalypse and holding onto his unrequited crush on Miki, he hasn't had much time to indulge in these sentiments. If you two are in a serious relationship, he is such a gentleman. He kneels down to tie your shoes for you, carries you on his back when you're too tired or drunk to do so yourself, and dotes on you when you're sick.

—That's not to say Akira is boring and predictable though. Akira brings a (shall we say) devilish character into any relationship. He's hyperactive (partly due to his demon side), and always suggesting you two go on motorcycle rides, or skinny dipping, or hiking, or camping. One of his favorites is: transforming into his devilman form and carrying you around in the skies. He's certainly not a man for the faint of heart.

—If you're more of a homebody, Akira can (begrudgingly) stay at home, but he will be competing with your phone or the TV for your attention. He's also not someone you can trust to sit still while you're taking selfies. The amount of times he's photobombed your photos is criminal (and for a handsome guy, Akira is 10/10 at making the most stupid faces).

—The biggest cuddle bug. This man acts like he'll die if he goes a day without touching you. He cuddles up to you anywhere, in any position. In public, he tones it down a bit, but he's still touchy—he has his arm flung over your shoulder loosely or his hand on your thigh under the table. In private, he enjoys being the big spoon, being able to slip behind you and hold you and remind himself that you're very much present in his arms. He's an absolute menace as an overnight cuddler though. He flings his arms over you and latches onto you, and you have to pry yourself out of his grasp if you need to move (it turns out devilmen also have unnatural strength in their sleep.) Not to mention he snores like crazy.

—Of course Akira notices that you borrow his hoodies, but rather than fuss about it, he lets you have them. He likes the way his clothes look on you. It also feeds into his possessive nature as a devilman. That is, until all his hoodies have mysteriously disappeared, and by then he has to confront you—not because he's mad, but because he finds it adorable.

"Is that mine?" he asks, knowing full well the answer as he curls an arm around you. The two of you are watching some mindless movie on the couch. "Maybe." "It's black." He points out. "I have black clothes, too." He raises a brow, grinning. "Doesn't look like your size." "I sized up. It's comfier." "I think..." He narrows his gaze. "I can still see the tag on it. Only Ryo spends that much on clothes. You sure that's not the sweater he gave me?" You bat your eyelashes at him innocently. Akira laughs, a full-bodied sound, as he hugs you to him. "It's not like I care. It looks good on you. You can keep it."

—You ask to use his phone one day and are surprised to see his lock screen—the most unflattering candid of you that you can fathom. You may or may not even be asleep in the photo, clearly drooling a bit. You pester him to change it, but he shrugs it off. It's not even a good quality picture, because when has Akira ever had the patience to take a good photo. But to your surprise he pockets his phone with a grin, shrugs casually and says. "But it's you. So it's perfect." (Still the sheer thought of how many people have seen his lock screen with you on it? Horrifying.)

—A very protective boyfriend, but it's honestly because he's aware of the dangers out there, whether that's other demons or humans with ill intentions. He doesn't demand to know where you are, but he will ask who you're going with, just to make sure you'll be safe. And honestly if he wanted to figure out where you are, Ryo tracks your phone so it would be a simple favor. He checks in on you throughout the night. Akira seems to have a sixth sense for knowing just when you need him the most, whether that's him showing up to stave off the advances of some weirdo or showing up as your designated driver. When it comes to demon hunting though, he can be obstinate. You're the last person he wants to put in danger, therefore you're sitting your ass at home.

—Speaking of.... as much as he’s drawn to the thrill of danger, you on the other hand will not be in any danger. He definitely doesn't let you walk home at night. He's offers to drive you everywhere, even though it involves his motorcycle. With you, it's not an option—he shoves the motorcycle helmet onto you despite your protests. What about Ryo? you ask. Ryo doesn't matter, a concussion wouldn't stop him from being the world's biggest smartass. You on other hand? He's all too aware of how much more fragile you are, how easily you bleed or bruise. And he'll be damned if he loses you.

—It takes awhile for your friends to come around to Akira due to his intimidating appearance. Not to mention the rumors that surround him due to his unique acquaintances ("That guy in all white he hangs out with... Is he part of the yakuza? Why does he carry guns around?" is one you often hear.) But Akira is a very much a Rottweiler boyfriend--scary on the outside, and an absolute sweetheart on the inside. After seeing him dote on you and show up to drive you home after work and after crazy nights out, they warm up to him. It helps that once you get to know Akira, he's really a dork.

—He namedrops you so many times in casual conversation that all his friends and family know about you before you’ve even met them. Before you’re even together honestly. When Akira has a crush, it's painfully obvious to everyone around him. You'll even catch Miki's parents asking if you're the person Akira keeps talking about, to which he replies with an embarrassed, "I-It's not like that at all!"

—The trauma of losing his parents has made him a bit paranoid about how quickly things can go south. When he's going somewhere he always makes sure to give you a goodbye hug and tell you how much he loves you. You never know.

—He wants to be the first to hear about your achievements and your successes. Honestly, he wished he had someone growing up to talk to about those things—the Makimuras were the closest he had, and of course he's thankful for their support and care, but it's not quite the same. He's your #1 fan.

—He literally hates having fights. The type of guy who starts tearing up if y'all have a real dispute. When things get too heated, Akira disengages, goes into a different room to calm down. The last thing he wants to do is fling hurtful words at you when he doesn't mean it. It also helps to calm down his tears.

—He would love to start a family with you. While he wouldn't want to pressure you to have one, he's ready. He's been ready. He's always wanted a family of his own. While the Makimuras practically raised him, the absence of his parents in his life really made him crave a stable family. Even just adopting a dog that the two of you can raise would bring Akira joy.

—He's a sentimental guy. He holds onto materialistic things that you give him--a sweater that's already started showing holes, a bracelet that's missing half its beads. Part of it stems from the fact that he struggles to let go. Even the shoes his mom would gift him every year, Akira tried holding onto them as long as he could.

—Akira attaches places to people. He doesn't remember things by their actual names, but refers to them as "our song," or "our restaurant," or “the first place we met” etc. It's quite endearing; it shows how often you are on his mind.

You ran towards him. He caught you in his arms.

You wrapped your legs around his waist and hid your face in his neck.

"You're alive." You sobbed.

You had missed him so much. He was your rock.

He stayed with you through thick or thin.

He rubbed your back soothingly. "It's okay l'm here now aren't I?'

"You're not allowed to leave me again." You mumbled.

"You left me first tho?" Sukuna teasingly spoke.

You whacked the back of his head.

"Hey asshole, don't joke about that" He cursed out in pain.

"Still the same." He shook his head fondly.

"And you're the same old bast-" he hoisted you in the air.

"Noooo RYO im going to kill you," he tossed you in the air again.

"What were you trying to say huh?" He cockily questioned.

"Nooooo I meant you're my same old handsome boyfriend." You kissed his cheek. The tip of his ears was red.

"Are you blushing? Aww my baby kuna." You cooed at him.

"Woman if you don't stop right now-" he grumbled in embarrassment.

Someone coughed, bringing you both back to reality.

You alanced hack and there was a white hair dude with a blindfold on and that spiky emo boy.

"Oh god. You mumbled and hid your face in sukuna's neck in embarrassment.

"They saw all of it didn't they?" You questioned, still mortified.

His whole body shook when he laughed.

"If you don't stop laughing, I'm going to hit you."

You threatened him.

He just burst into a fit of laughter at your threat.

You started weakly punching his back. "You're such an idiot."

"Damn woman stop it hurts." He groaned. You heard another cough. You squeaked.

"Um hi?" The weird dude with white hair and a blindfold spoke.

"Miss? Do you know who this guy is?" He asked.

"Oi, who're you calling miss? Don't speak to her. Don’t look at her and don't even breathe in her direction." Sukuna growled.

The white hair dude that introduced himself as gojo raised his arms in surrender.

"Wait a minute where is Yuji?" You asked. In the midst of all the chaos, you forgot about Yuji. You felt terribly guilty. You forgot about him. You felt like crying.

Sukuna's cheek grew a mouth and spoke, "I'm here nee-chan! Ryo-nii just took over my body to talk to you." You gasped at the voice.

"How?" You looked at sukuna. "Magic." He whispered in a low voice.

You whacked him again. "Ow." Both Yuji and Sukuna yelled. "What the fuck." You mumbled.

word count: 1k words

summary: Watching High and Low the Worst X.

warnings: High and Low movie spoilers, mild language, suggestive content

a/n: Wow, Tumblr changed a lot. I don't know how to post anymore.😅 Anyways, this is a small gift for all the readers who still kept on encouraging me to write and sent me messages during the time I wasn't here. 🥰 An attempt in writing has been made. I'm sorry if this isn't much or it isn't that good, I'm honestly taking baby steps in writing again. I hope you like this short fic. ❤

"Am I just a pawn? I thought we were friends." You stifled a sob at the statement. Ryo had always been there for Amagai yet he calls his friend a pawn. How despicable! It doesn't help that you hated Amagai and his bossy attitude. 

As the movie progressed, you felt tears running down your cheeks. This should be an action movie. Why are you even crying? 

"I'm home." You heard the door open, followed by your boyfriend's voice. Hastily, you dried your tears. He cannot see you in this state. But you just saw him stop in his tracks, staring at you in worry before you could bundle up your favorite fleece blanket. "What happened?" 

Instead of hiding it, you cried louder. The images on the TV screen showed three men fighting, your favorite character looking really beaten up. "Why is Ryo like that?" You whined. "Although they grew up together, Amagai clearly told Ryo that he's just his pawn. Why would he hurt himself for that annoying jerk?" Your boyfriend sighed, dropping his duffel bag on the floor, before sitting beside you on the couch. He stretched his arm out for you, brushing your hair to calm you down. “And why would they hurt Ryo like that? In the face? Really? He’s so handsome to be hit like that.” 

The guy beside you chuckled. "I knew getting that Blu-Ray would be bad for you." You watched how Fujio and Ryo fought. Every punch and kick makes your heart ache. When Amagai lunged a knife at Fujio and Ryo was seen on the screen, you gasped. Your hand covered your mouth while watching your favorite character be emotional, trying to hide the fact that you’re as emotional as the person on the screen. 

Your boyfriend held your shoulder, pulling you closer as you sobbed uncontrollably. “Are you really that emotional over this movie?” You mumbled a yes which made him chuckle. “You’ve watched it like five times already.” 

“Seventh.” You corrected. His laughter echoed through the room. “My favorite character is hurting, what do you expect? Why must Ryo get hurt like that?” You cried. 

His hand on your back comforted you, his warm breathing against your ear slowly calming you down. “I’m now starting to question if you like Ryo more than me.” 

It was your turn to chuckle lightly. “Probably.” 

“Yah!” Your boyfriend revolted, poking your side to tickle you. 

You held both his cheeks, staring intently at him. Although they look the same, how can the person on the screen be different from the guy you’re looking at right now? “Were you hurt…” You asked innocently, “...when they punched you?”   

Yuta smiled then shook his head, “It was a choreographed fight scene. I didn’t get hurt but just pretended that I did.” He reasoned out then grinned proudly. “Seeing how you empathized with my character, I think I did a great job.” 

You nodded. He did. 

You were just in awe at how amazing he is the first time you watched the movie. It was the reason why you kept on repeating watching the same movie even though you knew what would happen in the end. Yuta is an amazing actor, no doubt about that. “You should act some more.” He smiled, nodding at you. “But can you refrain from doing action movies? I don’t want to watch your pretty face getting hurt.” 

He chuckled, patting the top of your head. “Shall I do romance instead?” 

“Then I’ll definitely leave you for Ryo Suzaki.” 

—----

It was a tiring day. You let out a heavy sigh when you sat on the couch and then noticed the apartment keys on the table. Is Yuta home? He doesn’t have any schedules today? Maybe he’s sleeping. “Yuta?” You asked, not lifting your body from the couch.  

The door to your bedroom opened and out came a man with black hair, a red jacket, and red pants. He grinned at your stunned face, raising an eyebrow when you suddenly stood up from the couch. “Suzaki Ryo!” 

“Wow,” Yuta exclaimed. “You’re really that excited seeing Ryo? It’s making me jealous.” He then chuckled at your unwavering stare. The man you’re just watching on TV, in front of you. Why is Yuta wearing that uniform? And did he suddenly change his hair?  

“The Senomon uniform looks good on you. It just feels weird seeing you smiling wearing that uniform.” Yuta giggled. “And without bruises or cuts on your face.” 

Yuta walked in front of you, cupping your face with his hands. “I know it’s a tiring day and I wanted you to have a memorable date with your favorite character.” A grin can be seen on your face. “You look so happy now that I want to erase the existence of Ryo Suzaki so badly.” You giggled. You love it when Yuta is jealous. It makes you feel loved. Not that he didn’t tell you how much he loves you, but there’s something about this gorgeous man getting jealous that someone else is taking you away from him. Like how a main character in a movie feels. “So what do you want to do, baby?” 

“I want to watch a movie.” He gave you a tired, annoyed look. “Let’s watch High and Low.” You quickly opened the television and the player. You can hear Yuta mumbling, while sitting on the couch, about Ryo being in front of you yet you’re opting to watch a movie. “It’s not just Ryo who I liked in the movie,” you teased. “I also want to see Yuken’s body.”

Yuta laughed. “That’s very likely of you.” He leaned closer, slowly undoing the buttons of his uniform that showed his black tank top underneath. “You know, Ryo has a better body than Yuken.” 

You covered him with your favorite blanket while giggling at his attempt. “Ryo.” You called that made your boyfriend roll his eyes in obvious annoyance. “Don’t tempt me.” Yuta rolled his head back, laughing at that statement, wrapping you in his arms. “Although I have a huge crush on you, I’m still Yuta’s.” 

“Yeah, you are.” He mumbled. “And Yuta will go all Ryo if someone takes you away from him.” 

You smiled. You definitely are the main character in this movie.

[Okazaki agency]

Yuki: Huh? A different unit from Momo?

Momo: We’re going to be separated?!

Rinto: That’s right. What do you wanna do? Will you decline?

Momo: What about the idols from the other agencies?

Rinto: Apparently Takanashi Production and Yaotome Production are actively considering taking it.

Momo: I see… If everyone’s fired up to give it their all, then let’s give it our all too!

Momo: You enjoy working with our juniors, right Yuki?

Yuki: I don’t particularly dislike it, but whether or not Momo is present makes a big difference in how at ease I am.

Momo: Sweet! I’m glad I can help my darling out!

Yuki: Well I still want you to help me.

Momo: If I really can’t help you now, maybe you should end up with juniors you're very friendly with, Yamato-kun for example.

Yuki: Huh, Yamato-kun. Can I go with him?

Rinto: They’re planning to select the shuffle members through an internal and a customer survey…

Yuki: Can’t we pull some strings if it’s for TV?

Rinto: It’s more of an advertising project than a TV program, so I don’t think it’s possible…

Momo: If they want to form shuffle units based on the beverages’ themes, it would make sense they’d want to have people with similar images in the same unit.

Yuki: We’re most likely gonna be assigned different teams. Yamato-kun’s definitely getting the beer association. My image tends to lean more towards wine.

Momo: I doubt it’s gonna be alcohol.

Yuki: Juice perhaps? Then, Momo’s definitely gonna be with momorin…

Rinto: Oh…

Yuki: What?

Rinto: I promised not to mention the company’s name… but it’s not momorin’s manufacturer.

Momo: Momorin! I love you, but goodbye!!

Yuki: Tell that to me as well.

Momo: Yuki! I love you, but goodbye!!

Yuki: That would normally hurt me… But, well, it’s my job so I’ll do my best.

Yuki: Maybe it’s not bad at all. Since we’ll be in different units, I’ll watch you perform from the audience seats.

Momo: Let’s bring fans for each other! I’ll wave my penlight the hardest…!

Yuki: I'll find you wherever you are.

Momo: Darling, you’re so handsome! I’m super looking forward to these temporary units!

Momo: I’m also intrigued by this anonymous company………….!

Yuki: What’s wrong, Momo?

Momo: Ah, no…

Momo: Listen, Okarin. Did that company have a recent change in owners?

Rinto: What… I’m not sure. Why does that matter to you?

Momo: Oh, nothing! Just curious. Thought it might be a company I knew.

Yuki: Momo has tons of friends after all.

Momo: Ahaha, that’s true…

Momo: Don’t tell me Ryo-san is behind that company…it can’t be…

Momo: He used to run a trading company before becoming the head of Tsukumo. Bought and sold companies and stuff…

Momo: I hope I’m just overthinking it… he did say he turned over a new page. He needs to grow up.

Momo: I hope I’m wrong…

[Tsukumo Production]

Shiro: ... So, we have a project to form temporary units.

Touma: A shuffle project with other groups! It's gonna be the first time for ŹOOḼ, right? Sounds interesting!

Touma: Right, guys?

Haruka: ...

Minami: ...

Torao: ...

Touma: Huh? You don’t like it?

Haruka: I don’t hate it but...

Minami: Forming units means more TV appearances and live performances...

Torao: We'll be spending more time with the other guys...

Touma: Is that not okay? It's gonna be with IDOLiSH7, TRIGGER, and Re:vale, after all.

Minami＆Haruka＆Torao: ...

Minami＆Haruka＆Torao: I don’t mind but...

Shiro: Is it because you're shy around new people?

Haruka: I'm not shy! It's fine. I’m totally completely fine with it.

Minami: So, will it be two and two? How will we be split?

Shiro: Since you guys are four and there will be four temporary units, it's likely that each of you will join a different one.

Torao: We’re gonna be separated… What about Sougo? As long as I’m in the same unit as him or Ryuunosuke.

Haruka: Me too! I want to be with Izumi or Yotsuba!

Minami: I’m fine with everyone except Rokuya-san.

Touma: What's wrong? I thought you were friends.

Minami: We’re not.

Torao: You had a fight?

Minami: It’s not like that. I just think he’s overly pompous and mighty. Probably due to his upbringing as a prince…

Haruka: More pompous than Torao?

Torao: Not more than me.

Touma: Don’t admit to that so smugly. So, are we going to accept this job?

Minami＆Haruka＆Torao: ...

Minami＆Haruka＆Torao: We'll do it...

Shiro: Great! I'll respond to them right away!

Touma: Please do! I can’t wait to see who we’ll end up with!

Torao: But what's with this company making the offer wanting to stay anonymous? Why are they going through the trouble of keeping their identity hidden?

Haruka: Could it be some kind of prank? Maybe it's Torao's family's company?

Torao: Ahaha. No way...

Torao: ...No way...

Torao: My dad was really happy about my idol debut... No, there's no way he owns a beverage company.

Torao: But maybe he used a friend's company to make this offer as a show of support...

Torao: If my parents suddenly appear in front of these guys as part of some surprise...

Torao: It would be incredibly embarrassing...I absolutely hate it…

Touma: Tora, are you okay?

Torao: Y-Yeah.

Torao: What's the deal with this mysterious beverage company...?

heaven and back, Akira

Befriend a demon desguised as human

[ ONE-SHOT ] [ Akira Fudo ] [ Devilman Crybaby ]

⚠️ This contain a spoilers

› Song that inspired this [ HEAVEN AND BACK - Chase Atlantic ]

Ray I love you!!! I swear since I heard the song the first time i quickly grew obsessed with it, I had being hearing it almost every day!! Thank you thank you thank you 😭😭❤️

I felt like trying to crack a code when I recived your request 🤭, I hope I did it with the correct characters. Hope you love it as much as I did!!

You were pretty popular around the academy, but no wonder since you easily atract the attention to you, you were really handsome and friendly towards everyone, not just that but you were super agile and athletic, surrounded by mystery since in reallity no one knows much about you, about the real you and even when you are pretty popular you are alone amost all the time, just by yourself watching the others go with their day

You had cross paths with Akira before and even when you two had barely talked before you are always friendly with him, always with a smile on your face, what always surprised him, it confuses but amuse him that someone so popular treat him this way, thinking that you may prefer to relate with Miki since she is more popular and kind and yet it always bring a silly smile to his face

You were used to see him with his pretty face and innocent smile around the school, however one day you were surprised with the fact that he came to school being almost a complete diferent person, not just he had changed physicaly but also in his personality, he became more extrovert and confident, doing whatever he wants with a cocky smile on his face, even if you didn't noticed at first it would be imposible to don't know about it since everyone is talking about the change on Akira

Everyone where between the amusment and wondering excitedly what could had happened to him, everyone has their own idea but no one really know what happened to Akira, no one except from you, you know pretty well what happened to him, you already knew about those lately cases of people having and extraordinary change in a short time or all those massacres on clubs, you hoped people would stop getting involved on things they don't understand but it seems like this isn't going to happen

In one of those moments where Akira were being carefree you approached to him without saying anything, when he noticed you and ask you what do you want your only answer was point your finger at him and in a completely calm manner you call him an idiot, Akira immediatly reacted by getting irritated and asking what the hell was your problem, you two never talk and this is the first thing you say to him? It was almost like if he were having a tantrum, you can't help but laugh at his reaction, even when now he has the power of one of the most powerful and dangerous demons that had ever exist Akira is still a teenager human, and that is quite hilarious

You just ignored his irritance and continue with your day, even going away, however that seem to irritated him more and follows you, he had been called a lot of things since his change but an idiot wasn't one of it. From that moment you two start a friendship that just grows more and more as time pass, you didn't admire him nor look up at him for his new strength, but you don't underestimated him neither, something that make him grows competitve with you at first, wanting to show off his strenght to you but it slowly become a special friendship

Akira doesn't know why but he feels like you understand him, like if, somehow, you two were more similar than meets the eye, Akira feels like he can share things with you that he can't share with Miki or Ryo, and sometimes he feels like he doesn't need words, like those times where words aren't enough to express what he want to say you seem to understand anyways and this I something for what he is grateful and completely amuses him

Akira tried to introduce you to Ryo once but it doesn't went well, just by seeing you Ryo knew who you are, and the same went for you, in that moment you wanted to tell Akira that you weren't comfortable and you wanted to leave but Ryo spoke first by saying that you weren't trust worthy, you would just bring problems, Ryo tried to warn Akira to stay away from you but he won't accept that, you were special for him and Ryo should accept it if he didn't want to make trouble with him, at the end Ryo accept it but non of you stop being wary of each other and never come across each other again

Since Akira become the Devilman he start to strugle more with a lot of problems, all this situation is stressing him out, is driving him crazy sometimes and yet he can't talk about this with nobody, the only person he can talk with this is with Ryo but he doesn't care, he just prioritize his research, so everytime Akira feels the need to vent or can't take it anymore he goes to you, he has arrived so many times unexpectedly at your home that it became a common thing but he can't help it, he knows he can count on you and, honestly, he just needs to be with you, he doesn't understand why or how you do it but you always manage to comfort him and he is grateful for it

He had went to you to vent about everything he feels, regrets, fears and even his anger, it had happened so much times that he already had lost the count and not matter how much times he does it you never ask for details, you just hear him, and yet you seem to understand him completely and accept him with all of that. Not just that, but Akira had already lost the count of those times you had come with a silly plan to cheer him up, going out to eat until you burst, having a little race full of cheats between you, dancing out of the blue with the first song you play or just going out on the motorcycle letting the wind take away the worries, he doesn't know how you do it but all those silly ideas make him feel better, but maybe it wasn't the ideas, maybe it was because of you

You stayed by Akira's side, supporting him in good and bad, but when things started to get out of hands and everything quickly become a mess you knew this will explode soon, maybe you didn't knew Ryo's plan complete but you could easily guess, so, with pain in your heart, you leave Akira for a while because you needed to finally get to work, and this isn't something that went unnoticed by him, Akira immediatly noticed your absence but conditions were not the best to go and search for you so he just hoped you were alright

Sadly, non of you get in time to help his friends and family to the cruelty of the anger and scare people did to them, Akira was shattered by all that was happening, crying over his lost when you came to his side once again, you called his name and he immediatly turned around when he reconized your voice, but this was the first time for both to seeing each other on this form, this was the first time he met your demon form and this was the first time you saw the devilman in person, he was confused but his relief was bigger and he just went to hug you, still crying

When he calm down, at least enough, you apologized to him for leaving him alone and explained to him that you were just getting yourself ready for what is going to happen, introducing to him all the demons that now are following you, ready to fight by his side against Satan before explaining what Satan was doing, and, now, you finally were able to explain yourself too, you were a demon living in this earth since so long ago, but unlike other demons you grow curious over humans, and instead of wanting to end with them you wanted to see more of humankind, and now it was time to defend the humans you loved so much

Satan themselfs reveal their plan and their true form, everything was too much for Akira but you quickly take his hand to comfort him, like you had always did, and with a smile you encourage him to fight, promising to fight by his side until the end

JoJolion Ch. 77-82

This is the "Doctor Wu and Awaking III Leaves" arc. I just want to say that Awaking III Leaves has gotta be one of the dumbest Stand designs in this arc. It looks like the lampshade from the leg lamp in "A Christmas Story". Like Araki watched that movie and saw the leg lamp, and thought the shade was the most interesting part of it. Which does sound like him, I have to admit...

So last time there was another Stand Battle at the Higashikata orchard, and Jobin set the orchard on fire in a desperate gambit to pit his enemies against each other while he swiped the Locacaca branch. This seemed clever in the moment, but in the opening pages of the very next chapter, Rai Mamezuku immediately suspects Jobin of starting the fire. Josuke doesn't catch on, but Rai could tell just from how the Higashikatas each reacted as he explained to them who he was and what just happened. I could talk about what a keen observer Rai is, but in this case it's not very hard to piece this together.

Rai knows it wasn't Josuke, because Rai was with him in the bunker when it started.

Rai knows it wasn't Norisuke, because he's the one who asked Rai to help Josuke locate and secure the branch.

Rai knows it wasn't Poor Tom or his allies, because his plan was to eliminate everyone with his remote Stand ability. He only came to the orchard in response to the fire.

Rai knows it wasn't Hato, Joshuu, or Daiya, because they're all idiots who don't know what's been going on.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure Rai doesn't even know about Jobin's past dealings with the Rock Humans, which make him look even more suspicious. He just saw Jobin trying to keep Tsurugi calm every time Rai spoke about the Locacaca branch, and it seemed obvious to him.

On the other hand, Josuke is more concerned with the people in the ambulance who took the branch. What Josuke doesn't know is that it was the wrong branch. Tsurugi used his Stand to pull a switcheroo for Jobin. The people in the ambulance realized it was a fake as soon as they left Tsurugi's area of effect, but Josuke still believes the next move is to track down that ambulance.

Now at this point, you might be wondering: What happened to Mitsuba? Or you might even be asking: Who the hell is Mitsuba? Well, she's Jobin's wife and Tsurugi's mother. She appeared very briefly in the scene where Josuke met the Higashikata family for the first time, but she hasn't said or done anything since... until now. That's right, Mitsuba Higashikata finally makes her move in the Great Game, and... oh, she's just going to the doctor.

Okay, so I think it's pretty clear that her physician, Dr. Wu Tomoki, is a bad guy. His ridiculous hair, his two ID badges that say DoC ToR on them in obnoxiously huge letters. He looks like a standard JoJo villain with an outlandish fashion sense, but he had to rein it in because of the hospital's rigid dress code.

Mitsuba's purpose in this story seems to be to illustrate just how the Rock Humans can use the Locacaca to exploit carbon-based humans. Damo's smuggler ring was just selling the fruit to wealthy buyers, but Ryo Shimosato spoke of grander plans than this. He and Poor Tom are dead, but their colleague, Dr. Wu, shows us some of what they had in mind. Mitsuba's been receiving Locacaca treatments for a while now. First she had her breasts cosmetically enhanced, but her teeth turned to rocks and she started drooling all the time. That's why she never said anything or showed her face in her previous appearances. Later, she had her teeth restored to normal, but now her right ear is "like a rock", and she can't hear out of it. So she's come right back to Dr. Wu for treatment, never suspecting that she's been getting the same treatment over and over, with different results. And she's been paying handsomely each time.

Dr. Wu agrees to treat her yet again, for 200 million yen. That comes out to 1.2 million US dollars, just to give you an idea. See, that's the kind of grift that the Four Doctors can pull. Damo's smuggler group was a one-and-done thing. His customers were probably told up front that this would heal one body part in exchange for another. That's why the major league pitcher didn't care about losing his jaw as long as his shoulder recovered. But he never would have gone back for a second purchase, for fear of losing his pitching arm.

But Dr. Wu can string his patients along indefinitely. He just never tells them what the treatment is or how it works, or that it causes a new ailment in an unrelated part of the body. And they keep coming back to him because he did such a good job on them the last time. And this all works because everyone trusts him as a doctor to be concerned for their welfare.

Anyway, as it turns out, Yasuho is here at the hospital too, because of menstrual pains. I guess that's just a coincidence, although you can't rule out Paisley Park unconsciously directing her towards the plot. There was an old rule from Part 3 or 4 about how Stand Users are fated to come into contact with other Stand Users, but Yasuho's specific Stand Ability only seems to intensify that principle. So she's there to notice Jobin's wife being rolled through the halls in a wheelchair, and her legs and feet appear to have been turned to stone.

About this time, Josuke calls Yasuho asking her to help him track down the ambulance. Yasuho tells him about Mitsuba, and he warns her that the enemy is probably in the hospital, so she should probably clear out of there until he can link up with her. But Yasuho's curiosity gets the better of her, and she does have those menstrual pains to deal with, so I guess she's not in a big hurry to leave. She tracks down security cam footage of the ambulance and gets a look at the guy who stepped out to pick up the branch. And she quickly recognizes him as the doctor who was pushing Mitsuba's wheelchair.

Yasuho follows them into the examination room, but only finds Mistuba, alone, with no sign of Dr. Wu or the wheelchair. Also, Mitsuba's legs are fine now. Less fine is Mitsuba's state of mind, as she seems to have some sort of memory problems. It's like she doesn't remember why she came here, or that she was even in a wheelchair a minute ago.

Yasuho finally locates the wheelchair in a desk drawer. See, this is one of those bullshit JoJo visuals where something weird happened but there's no plausible explanation for it. A Stand User could dismantle a wheelchair in a few seconds and hide all the pieces in a desk drawer. But once we see the specific Stands we're dealing with, it doesn't make much sense at all. As for Dr. Wu, he's apparently hiding inside Mitsuba's body, which is why she's acting so weird and doing all his strange habits, like chugging an entire 2-liter bottle of water and eating what looks like a phonographic record.

Yasuho quickly recognizes this Stand power as similar to the one the hair clip used against her when she was a child. I'm not sure how accurate the comparison is, since we know so little about the hair clip and its powers. Just to cut to the chase, Dr. Wu's Stand, named... uh... "Doctor Wu"... allows him to turn his body into tiny fragments of himself. It's kind of like Stone Free but with dust instead of string.

That's how he got inside Mitsuba's body, although it's unclear whether this is why she's acting so strangely. Is he controlling her like a puppet, or is this some sort of weird side-effect of his mere presence inside her body. His Stand profile image said that he could interact with the brains of the people he inhabits to make them do certain things, but I don't know what the extent of that is.

The main problem with this arc is that it's Yasuho and Mitsuba teaming up, but Yasuho keeps asking Mitsuba what's going on, and Mitsuba either doesn't know or won't answer. To her credit, Yasuho knows enough about the Locacaca and Dr. Wu to make an educated guess, but Mitsuba seems oblivious to everything.

Actually, maybe that's by design. I never understood what happened to Mitsuba's legs in this story. The Locacaca exchange is unpredictable, but this means Wu had to give her two doses in one visit. Maybe more than two, but for some reason he decided to move her to a different room while waiting for her legs to get back to normal.

But it occurs to me that this might be standard procedure for Wu. He has to keep the Locacaca treatment a secret from his patients in order to keep stringing them along, and he can't send her home with no legs. That would be too conspicuous. So he probably has to run through multiple doses of Locacaca until he settles on an equivalent exchange that works for him. But that would arouse the patients' suspicions, so he uses his Stand power to inhabit their bodies during the process. This allows him to suppress their memories of the treatment. Yasuho just happened to walk in on the final stage of the process.

Now, while Yasuho tries to make sense of all of this, some Dr. Wu fragments get inside her body and attack her. I'm not quite sure how they attack her, but she knows she has to remove them before they can kill her. So she summons Paisley Park, who somehow interfaces with the MRI equipment and locates the foreign material in Yasuho's head.

I'm not entirely sure how any of this works, but the X-Ray view of Yasuho's skull through Paisley Park's hand is one of my favorite visuals in this Part. Also cool is the way PP smashes open a storage cabinet of syringes and pulls off the needle sheath with her mouth. Normally Paisley Park doesn't seem to have a mouth, but she's got one here and it's this cute li'l line on her face. Paisley Park rules.

Then she just stabs the needle into Yasuho's eye (!) and fishes out the offending object. That... seems like it would hurt like hell. Also, this fragment looks like it's made of rock, so I don't see how you could spear it with a metal needle. But it's out, so I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

At last, Dr. Wu reveals himself more properly, and he offers to spare Yasuho but insists on finishing his business with Mitsuba.

His plan is to inhabit Mitsuba's body like he was doing before, then use her to infiltrate the Higashikata property. There, he can find out more about her son Tsurugi, and find out what he knows about the Locacaca branch that Poor Tom tried to steal.

Fortunately, the girls manage to escape Dr. Wu with Mitsuba's own Stand, Awaking III Leaves. She can place arrows and direct force in that direction. They take shelter in an elevator car and Mitsuba uses her power to purge the Dr. Wu fragments out of her body.

Unfortunately, this also includes the petrified fetus in her body. Mitsuba recently learned she was pregnant, and it sure seems like the last round of Locacaca treatment restored her entire body, but at the cost of her unborn child.

Then Wu catches up to them. The thing is, his ability allows him to blow in through any ventilation in any room, so I'm not sure it's possible to just go some place else. He repeats his intentions to use Mitsuba's body, but he also insists that he's the good guy in all of this, because the Locacaca's secrets are for the public good. Therefore, any action he takes to study them is justified, and anyone who opposes his agenda must be evil. As for the fetus, he considers this inconsequential, because it was only in the 14th week of gestation.

Mitsuba repels him again with her Stand, and then they start taping down his body with medical tape. At first I couldn't understand what good this was supposed to do, but then it became clear that the fragments stuck to the tape couldn't get loose, and they wadded them all up into a ball to trap his head.

I think that's Dr. Wu's main weakness. He can do a lot of damage to a person's body as a cloud of dust, but he doesn't have much physical strength in this form. He can't whip himself up into a sandstorm, for example. So if you can get enough adhesive on him, you could...

... Throw him out the window, for one thing. This doesn't actually work, as we'll see, but it does keep him occupied for a bit.

As they leave the elevator, Yasuho runs into an old acquaintance, Toru. They used to date in high school, and now he works part time at the hospital. Looks like he just moves laundry around or something. Yasuho asks him to find Josuke in the lobby and tell him to find her on the third floor. He agrees, but makes some crack about how wet she got when they had sex or something. Yasuho's like "What the fuck, man?" Seriously, it's like Josuke is the only man in this town with any chill at all. And he's a weirdo who sleeps under mattresses, so what does that tell you?

The girls discover the secret room where the Locacaca plants are being kept, and there's some sort of instructional video Dr. Wu made to explain how they should be used for treatment. The main point of the video is that there's no way to predict which part of the body the fruit will attack as part of the equivalent exchange. It always heals an afflicted body part, so that seems reasonably easy to control. For example, with cosmetic surgery applications, like Mitsuba's boob job, they just have to make some incisions or some other damage to the area they want to work on, and that's enough to direct the Locacaca effect to that part of the body, as long as nothing else is wrong.

The problem is that there's always a strong chance that the Locacaca will attack the brain. I mean, there's other vital organs, but maybe those are spared because you literally end up worse off without them, so the exchange wouldn't be equivalent. With the brain you can lose certain chunks and still be alive, I guess. Anyway, that risk would make the Locacaca too dangerous to use, but Dr. Wu promises he has a technique to keep the drug away from the brain during the process. That technique, however, is just his own Stand, which only he can use.

So there's Locacaca fruits here, and it's up to Mitsuba to decide if she wants to use one to try to restore her unborn baby. Oh, if you're wondering how she got it back inside her, her Stand can do that. The point is that without Dr. Wu to assist, there's no guarentee of how her body will be affected by this next dose. But Mitsuba chooses to take her chances. Unfortunately, Dr. Wu is here to "assist", because he managed to get back in the hospital through the water supply, and onto the Locacaca fruit through the irrigation system in this lab. So Mitsuba gets possessed again, and Yasuho is stuck fighting both of their Stands now.

Also of note, Wu's research shows that the Locacaca doesn't work on diseases caused by pathogens like viruses and bacteria. There's some samples of infectious diseases in the lab, and Wu tries to shove Yasuho into them to make her sick, but he also tells her that it was Holly Kira who made this lab. Wu says she "failed" in her research of the Locacaca, which makes it sound like she must have been working with the Four Doctors, and perhaps her present condition may be the result of some botched experiment with the Locacaca.

But Yasuho manages to use more tape to redirect Mitsuba's arrows, which turns the tables on Dr. Wu. She expels Wu from Mitsuba's body, but then Wu does... something to the Locacaca fruits, like he's trying to spray them with the juice or something and... do what exactly? Yasuho's healthy, so would the Locacaca even have any effect on her?

But before things can get too bad, Josuke steps into the room and captures all of Wu's fragments with soap bubbles. Yasuho breathlessly warns Josuke about Wu's powers, but Josuke's already dealt with it.

That's because Josuke had medicinal cement in his bubbles when he fired them. Basically, it's the same idea as the medical tape Yasuho used in the elevator, except this time Wu is soaking in it, and the stuff hardens so he can't escape. I'm pretty sure that suffocates the bastard to death, but the point is that he's been defeated for good.

My only question is: How did Josuke know to do this? Yasuho's phone had been destroyed earlier in this arc, so she couldn't contact Josuke and tell him about Wu's Stand. Toru passed along Yasuho's message, and maybe the mess in the elevator might have given them a clue, but that's about it. Maybe Paisley Park contacted him without Yasuho knowing.

As for Mitsuba, her unborn child is restored, and it looks like the Locacaca took in exchange... her nose, which is a small price to pay considering what else it might have done to her. And this is probably suitable for her character arc, since her troubles started when she came in for a boob job, and then she worried about her mouth, and then she came back today because she was worried her son might notice her bad ear and start asking questions. Mitsuba's been obsessed with her good looks, and now she's stuck with this stone nose because another dose of Locacaca might be dangerous to herself or the baby. But she seems to be at peace with it, so she's learned her lesson.

Overall, this is one of those arcs where I had trouble keeping up with the action. I still enjoy it because it features Yasuho, and the chase through the hospital is fun, but I think I'll enjoy it a lot more when the anime version gets made. Well, assuming an anime version does get made. Hopefully, that anime version won't have all these unseemly upskirt shots of Yasuho. I don't know what got into Araki during this one, but it's like he wanted to draw Yasuho's underwear and this was the arc where he got it out of his system. It's not great.

unprompted ask / always accepting

@distopea said: He had never smiled at her; that was something she was certain. But for a fraction of seconds, she could definitely see his lips curling differently than usual, the atmosphere shifting to something more casual than usual. Of course, she couldn't get tricked by all of that, she was still a performer, yet, it was far more pleasant when she didn't have to face a wall of entire coldness. She even accepted the drink he poured for her.  "Even in my world of glitter, sometimes it doesn't shine the way I want." She answered with a smile, but still didn't know if she should totally be honest. She played with the cigarette, her eyes shifting from his shape to the environment behind, before her attention was back on him. "You know handsome, I love wearing masks. I love costumes. I even love my fake name." She started before she toasted with him.  "Sometimes, though, there are words that can just go through the cracks. Alas for me, you're a bit more perceptive than the average and you saw it." She pressed her palm onto the cushion of the booth, leaned onto it. "But it takes more, far more, to put me down and humble me. Unless, perhaps, a lovely gentleman pays for that." She smiled again and brought the alcohol to her lips. 

he took what she was inferring with a nod of his head, whilst still processing what was being said. the use of that pet name brought a light knit of his eyebrows because unlike her, ryo did not show any fondness towards it. quite the opposite, in fact. "it gets in the way." came his retort. this faux persona that he was suddenly met with. he did not like it. even though he could tell that the things she said were most likely closer to the truth, ryo did not like her delivery of it—eyeing her with a wary expression.

"what was it, then?" being discriminated over being a foreign, or the latter word that was used to describe her? ryo was under the impression that she wouldn't care about neither, but that was his first mistake: make an assumption based on nothing but a guess of her character. he eyed the hand that came in-between them, also suspicious about it.

"so, it's money that you want." mistaking the implication of her words, he ended up pulling a couple of yen from the inside of his jacket, where he kept his wallet well-hidden. the usual sum were placed on the table, but unlike it was the case with most patrons, there were no expectations from his part. "fine, you win. you tricked me." into believing she was actually upset. maybe she was, but not enough to allow any monetary gain to slip past her, it seemed. ryo was now starting to comprehend how this business worked. "maybe some humbleness would fit you better." he says at last, before standing & fixing his jacket. his eyes were cast down—barely curling his lips upwards. "tonight was pleasant. i will pay for the full bottle." even if barely touched.

IDOLiSH7 Third BEAT! Episode 14 Review

It’s here. Finally. Also, I have decided to just share pictures this cour, unless something really catchy comes up.

🍀 A/N: I am scared, anxious and quite excited at the same time.

(Spoilers under the cut! Refrain if you don’t want to see the pictures and content!)

Starting it with this one.

I have got quite the idea how much interesting character Touma is. From the first cour, I gathered he is a nice boy, but seeing him taking part in that disgusting plan of Ryo made me question things. And now is this line. I am pretty sure there’s some hidden implication behind it and definitely all the boys from ZOOL have it too.

(MITSUUU!!! Yama! Oh, little snake Minami ahahaha)

(SOGO MY CUTE CHIBI ADOR- *ahem*)

I really like how every member who has met ZOOL has either negative or a subtle opinion, but Riku points out the good quality in Touma. He also mentions the line about Toma not singing earnestly, which has some hidden implication.

(Oh look. It’s my angel smilin- *covers mouth to stop fangirling*)

Anyway, well said Tenn. I was kind of worried that Tenn was turning a blind eye to Kujo’s tricks, but glad he goes up against him when the latter mentions how he used Haruka and abandoned him.

Of course, being a benefactor to Tenn, he can’t voice his thoughts further out loud, but that look on Kujo’s face serves him right. Tenn, how much of an amazing character you are...

They are rivals. But still standing up for each other when one’s in trouble. IDOLiSH7 is hands down a masterpiece where along with handsome idols, we see beautiful bonds, emotions and compassion.

This line catches my attention yet again. Some might think Riku is an innocent boy with lots of talent, but adding to that, he is so mature and is able to see things beyond seeable. Also, really proud of TRIGGER for holding their heads high and performing with the same energy despite all the drama going on. GO TRIGGER!!!

(Same here, add me in.)

I don’t know if Re:vale is also being targeted by Ryo seeing how the producer of their show is abruptly transferred, but if yes, this is beyond forgiving. Glad that at least they are able to see what’s going on and thinking on what to do next, without hesitation. But Ryo, involving Yaotome Papa has crossed all limits already, hmph.

There’s a line Ryu says, that if they start to hate Ryo and ZOOL, then how will they be any different. But at the same time, Re:Vale’s actions and TRIGGER’s actions are contrasting, one is planning how to fight back directly while the other is trying to negotiate/solve it without causing any massive drama.

(Well hello there. You are being used.)

Look at them. Just look at them. They even take a day off altogether so as to support TRIGGER. They are my only reason of smiling in this cour, it seems.

(Babies. Look at baby MEZZO”. Also SOO CHAN!!! ~\(≧▽≦)/~)

(hEH. ADSLAJALJKLSDJKL NOOOO!!!)

Also, what is this. TRIGGER being kidnapped but ZOOL being tied up in the ED.

I have to give positive points to ZOOL for singing this banger ED. I am still listening to it and boping my head.

(Also, the rain theme! TT)

Episode 15 is going to be another rollercoaster, but hey, we know we can manage that drama when our idols are here! Before we end the discussion, WHAT IS THIS.

(I hope he is not suffering, please NOO.)

I will say I am kind of glad next episode is after a week, cause this is really too much to handle. Especially that part where Mitsuki saves the show just after Mr. Shimooka asks Gaku a question related to the scandal. Just wondering that this is occuring to them, and how they are managing, is praiseworthy and terrifying at the same time.

Anyway, see you soon!

(Follow me on Twitter if you want to read the live reactions and discuss with me as wel!! XD)

Spookengan 6 - Cold Shoulders

Previous / MasterPost

Made in Collab with @useless-bi-otch

After the night shift, when the sun was up, she would go home from the bar, but she decided to walk to her “friend’s” house. Well, if she could call him that. He was a guy she knew and, as much as she liked him, he wasn't interested in anything more than a friendship with benefits. She respected that, but that didn't stop her from wanting to see him. Maybe, at that time of day, he was training in the park near his place, and, as she'd guessed, there he was.

There were no people around at this time of the morning, and all she could think was that the park's most frequent visitors were missing out on a very interesting spectacle. Despite how cold it was, Himuro wore nothing but sweatpants, the muscles in his arms and chest clearly visible, tense and sweaty as they flexed. He was shadowboxing, apparently, punishing the autumn air with his quick, precise jabs, also topping it off with a few kicks, his eyes intense and focused.

She leans against a wall, enjoying the view. It wasn't news to anyone that this guy was quite handsome, his tanned skin almost glowing in the weak morning sun, his short white hair bouncing with his movements. She was just a little upset that he wasn't hers, but she didn't mind sharing. That man was too much of a catch to keep him from the rest of the world. And she had come to get the little piece of him that was her due.

Himuro stopped his morning training, breathing in and out to slow his heartbeats, when he finally sensed her presence behind him. His tension is quickly replaced by exasperation. He doesn't turn around as he walks over to a bench, picking up the towel he'd left there earlier and wiping the sweat off his skin, his eyes closed.

"I thought assassins were more stealthy than that", He grumbles as he dries his hair "How long have you been there?"

"Good morning, Ryo" she rolls her silver, abyss-sunken eyes, smiling sideways "And if you don't know how long I've been here, then I was stealthy enough. I could've stabbed you while you're distracted" she puffs out the cigarette smoke, and it looked like a dragon's breath on the cold autumn morning.

"I'd like to see you try", He grunts, dropping the towel back on the bench and stretching his limbs "Anyway… you're way ahead of your usual schedule. Got bored and decided to look for me?"

“Actually, I just wanted to see you. And according to my usual schedule, I'd technically be late, but now that I have a job, this is the only free time I have", she throws the cigarette butt into a garbage can nearby after putting it out on the wall she was leaning against "And besides, do I have to make an appointment to hang with my friends now?"

"It would be the polite thing to do, but if we haven't started like this before, we're surely not gonna start now" He rolls his eyes and turns to her, still stretching "And you're already here, anyway, so screw it. I've finished my morning training routine. If you'd come earlier, I'd have invited you to a sparring session…"

“That's fine. I'm kinda tired today” she shrugs. And them looks at him when he stares at her "What? I get tired too, y'know. Or did you forget that we finish our “horizontal spar sessions” with me always asking for a break first?", she laughs when he widens his eyes with surprise, but he recovers quickly with a smug, if embarrassed half-grim.

"Heh. That's what usually happens to anyone who sleeps with me. I always give my best and end up ruining men for you all. But if you're tired, I imagine you didn't come for that either, right?" He looks to the side, trying to play it cool "It’s too early, I was planning to head back to my place and get back under the blankets..."

"Heh, cocky bastard… and what a coincidence, I thought the same thing", she smiles, a little mischievously, getting closer when she felt she'd been given carte blanche "But in your place instead of mine. I've been wondering if I should buy a body pillow and print your face on it..."

Himuro didn't know whether to be flattered or creeped out by that thought. But maybe he should tell her to do just that, then she wouldn't bother him so much if she had an inanimate substitute always on hand…

But if that happened, he'd kind of lose a bedmate. And as annoying as she was, this was going to be a cold, dreary autumn, and having company under the warm covers was always nice…

And speaking of the cold, it had his full attention now that he wasn't moving around so hard anymore, biting him on his unprotected arms, torso and face. He shudders involuntarily, trying to cover it by saying: "Do as you wish. I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't even the first to do that..."

She watches aKure Youko lit a menthol cigarette while walking down the empty street at five in the morning.

s he shivers, and her smile fades.

"Yeah…" she sighs a little "I don't think I'm your first on pretty much anything" she says in a playful gesture. And then she takes off her coat, covering his shoulders with it "Come on, it's getting cold", she nods in the direction of his apartment complex, and doesn't wait for him to answer, walking slowly towards the building.

He shivers again, but for different reasons, as he feels the terry cloth covering him. He looks up and sees her walk away, startled, registering her voice tone, her words…

Fucking hell, why was he feeling guilty now? She had brought that on herself, damn it! Chasing him down, invading his apartment, his personal space, his life, all without even asking…!

And yet, the warm feeling of her coat around his shoulders didn't bring him the sense of revulsion he used to associate with her. On the contrary. Its scent even soothed him…

She hears him quicken his pace to keep up with her. There's an uncomfortable silence for a few seconds, until he finally says, in a low, contemplative voice "You're the first to crash at my place like that, though."

She smiles a little, without showing her teeth "Heh. Not because you wanted to, anyway" she laughs softly, a little embarrassed "But I'm happy about it. Thanks…" she taps her hip lightly against his "Breakfast’s on me, Mr. Gigolo."

He rolls his eyes at the nickname, trying not to smile and failing miserably.

"Yeah, I didn't, but when in hell, embrace the devil. Isn't that what they say?" He arches an eyebrow at her "I can do just that later, as a thanks for the food."

"That's exactly what 'Gigolo' means", she laughs at his face when he frowns "I'm kidding. I'd love it."

He almost responds with a ’me too’. Almost. But he manages to hold it back, limiting himself to give her hip a tap of his own.

He needed to be careful, or else he would start to really enjoy this routine with her. He desperately wanted the warmer months to come back soon, then he wouldn't miss the warmity of her body as he did now.

Next Chapter Here
