#taigen needs to be boiled

[genericgirl420]

Listen, I'm all for nuanced characters who are bad people but grow throughout the show as individuals, but I genuinely cannot stand this man.

He is the bane of my existence. I want to bash his head on the side of the road, every word he said, every time he was on screen made me roll my eyes so far back that I could see inside my skull and groan dramatically in profound disdain.

Live laugh and love taizu shippers but I can't stand the thought of them being together it makes my blood boil, I love mizu too much to subject her to the unsightly presence of this man.

Please die taigen, please.

Uhm I don’t know if this is good but I was thinking for part eight of the apothecary reader series and maybe apothecary reader and Mizu when they met Taigen and they like discover what Taigen used to say to Mizu and they just glare sharply at Taigen whenever he speaks or just exist in the same room as Mizu and and her eyes are just darker with thoughts of violence and stabby (basically the reader being as civil as can be meanwhile there is an aggressive war of how to kill him and if they should do it) and Taigen just being like- “Please control your wife😰” and Mizu’s just drinking(or eating) something the reader made for them and she’s just like “hmm no, I don’t feel like it” but in reality Mizu is as terrified(and very much attracted) of the new face of the reader they are seeing

I don’t know I made it up on the spot 😅

pairing: mizu x fem!apothecary!reader

warning(s): swearing, mentions of violence 

a/n: even though we already have pt 8, I’m still gonna write this for you cuz I liked the idea!!

summary: mizu and her wife meet taigen; and you learn of what he did to her as a small kid. you're pissed; obviously, that was your wife he was talking about. you wanted to kill him for the things he said; but you knew maybe that wasn’t the… best idea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

settled down the wood cabin, you watched over your wife as she slept. she was still injured, after the fight, and you wanted to make sure nobody disturbed her.

you were glancing at taigen every so often. you knew that mizu knew him from her childhood; but you honestly wanted to know more.

especially because he kept talking about some… death duel, with mizu. and that made your blood boil.

you heard a groan to your left, your head whipping around to look at your wife.

“careful! careful,” you said in a hushed voice, helping her slowly sit up. “you're hurt, love, you need to be careful with yourself.”

“I’m fine,” she murmurs, glancing at taigen. she groaned, narrowing her eyes. “what is he doing here?”

your wife’s obvious disdain for taigen was something you wanted to know more about.

“um, he helped us get here,” you whisper back. “is there a reason you have such a problem with him? he seems… okay.”

“he tried to kill me as a child,” she spat the last word. “is that not reason enough?”

“.. excuse me?” you narrow your eyes, sending a glare the man’s way. “you fucking—jesus, you tried to kill him as a child?”

“he is an onryō,” taigen adverted his gaze. “there was a prize attached to his killing; and the village kids would always dare each other to do it.”

“even as a child?” you cock your head, your gaze never leaving taigen's eyes.

all the ways you thought of taking down this horrible man were now flooding through your head.

poison? the least messy.

ambush? secret, not easy to find out, but… messy.

you're gaze locked onto his as you thought up each and every idea.

“control your wife,” taigen hissed, his eyes narrowed at mizu across the room. “she’s scaring me.”

mizu chuckles in between sips of her tea, “is the big bad samurai scared of a little someone?”

“get her,” taigen points straight at you.

you giggle, placing a hand over your mouth as you do so.

“hmm—I’m not sure I want to,” mizu smirks a little, going back to drinking her tea.

you never let your gaze leave taigen, hoping to scare him out of the room—to be left alone with your wife.

“why do you keep staring at me, anyway?”

“thinkin’ of all the ways your life could end in mere seconds,” you giggle again. the giggle is very deceptive of your real thoughts.

taigen looked terrified.

you glance over at mizu, who is watching you with plenty of interest—a little bit of a blush on her face.

your words eventually drive taigen to leave; slamming the door shut behind him.

you lean your head on mizu's shoulder, smiling softly as you snuggled up to your wife. she brushed a hand through your hair.

“I love when you get like that, you know,” she whispers into your ear, placing a soft kiss behind your earlobe. “it is.. a little worrying though.”

“worrying?” you lean into her kissed, feeling them start to travel up and down your neck. “I'd never hurt you… or ringo, for that matter.. assholes like that, though,” you grumble, adverting your eyes. “deserve it.”

her hands climb onto your waist, gently straddling it between her fingers.

“I suppose you're right…”

damn, my brain works well when it’s sick… some BES quotes i made up that i feel resonates with their character!!

Mizu: My heart contrasts greatly from what my name represents, calm and steady like a flowing ocean. But my heart is filled with boiling water, fuelled by blood and vengeance. It boils and boils until someone takes the risk of making contact with it, scalding themselves severely.

Akemi: A luxurious life in a castle, born with a silver spoon in my mouth—never needing to step foot on the ground of the ‘poor’. But what if my form of luxury stems from the ground of the poor? What if my happiness can only be achieved living on the ground of the poor?

Taigen: Death stands between my success and failure. There is no in-between nor will there ever be an in-between.

Ringo: Everyone has a different view on what their purpose of life is. Some may feel satisfied if they manage to get revenge. Some may feel satisfied if they manage to get control of their life. My purpose in life is to be the one who makes sure these people achieve their goals. To be useful to someone.
