#whats up guys i found a new husbando

[m0stlygh0st]

Wait actually i don't think i've done this yet!

My friend, can i exchange a ticket for a gush please? 🎫 Tell me about anyone you want, bonus points if you have any pics you wanna show :] 🫂✨️

Slep, you sweet bean!! 🥺❤️ I will gladly take your gush ticket, thank you!! 💕

So for starters, my husband, who’s been playing lots of Elden Ring recently, comes to me one day and goes, “Hey. So I might’ve found a possible husbando candidate for you.”

And this isn’t new, but it’s rare. So COURSE I had to hear him out. He showed me a lore breakdown video about sweet, sweet Diallos here, and OUGH. HE GOT MY HEART SO FAST.

(I’m gonna put a little ‘read more’ for spoiler-y stuff, just to be safe!)

Okay so like. Look at him. Look at THIS SAD, HANDSOME NOBLE. 🥺❤️

Like when you first meet him, you don’t realize completely that he’s of noble blood— not really. He just asks you to keep an eye out for his friend and servant, a girl named Lanya, and that’s it. And when you see him again, he’s mourning her after she gets merked by an infamous group in the game.

I won’t go into the story too-too much here, but… you see Diallos go through so, so much from the sidelines. And you find out he’s just so… lost. He’s trying to do right by avenging Lanya, right by his brother and following in his footsteps, right by the family that withdrew from him and the group that took him in. But not doing right by himself. He just has a lot in his heart and so much going on in his mind, and seeing him getting caught up in the grief of it all while searching for honor is just… heartbreaking. He’s got this desire to be good, to be strong, but he’s got a delicate heart. He’s gentle and meticulous but not in the way that’s expected of him. He’s not meant to mow down people mercilessly, regardless of what people tell him.

He eventually gets to find himself in a place where he feels at peace, taking care of a village of gentle, peaceful living jars. They accept him and his gentler ways. He finds a home and a peaceful life with them and I just— 🥺🥺🥺 He’s a good guy! A gentle guy!!

I love him. I would protect this man with my life if I could. I want to keep him safe, to see him living out the peaceful life he wants so, so dearly. I want to just… cup his face so gently and tell him he’ll be okay, to treat him so delicately and let him know how important it is that he’s alive. 😭❤️

Thinking about him just has me like:

[deviantartdramahub]

Oh and can we talk about how fucked up some of his sonas are, if it wasn't obvious he has a pig fetish you will be reminded of that almost every time he gets a new sona, the were-otaku is a fucked up sona in its own because it's an offensive (to me) stereotype of nerds (yeah I don't think I can go into it without going into 18+ territory, but let's just say that it involves infection via salivia, and the chance of being turned into a figure to be put in a 'love juice' jar as part of sort of a Mass Transformation and well it is obviously blantantly obvious this guy is G-A-Y because he clearly made it so this fursona makes any male he sees into a cosplayer of one of his husbandos). And he just had to do a racially insensitive sumo wrestler TF into a sumo sona as well. And of course the fact he mentioned in the post about me on the

Deviantartdramahub that he found it humilating to try and explain it to people in real life (like who the hell even knows what he does online anyway apart from his friends? And half of those friends are from other parts of the world) yet he has a humilation kink - a really bad one at that. You know maybe I wouldn't be complaining about this idiot's posts if he kept his mouth shut every few years, since 2021 he has made at least 4-5 posts about me talking about me in broad terms as he puts it (yeah right, 'stalker from half across the world' could be anyone, gee I wonder who that could be referring to) but come on, he acts like I made it my life's goal to make his life miserable, I have friends too, friends who don't act like I did anything wrong or suck up to the attackers.

Also...jingo-ism...yes, apparently to this guy jingoism is a fetish, he did three transformations that are the exact same thing, his character being turned into a fat literal nationalist pig, one for the United States (because apparently he just found out about the Inside Job and got a new mancrush in the form of Glenn Dolphman), one for Australia and one for the UK even though he is already from there and the result is the same, just a morbidly obese anthro pig wearing underwear with the flag of that country on it. Oh and his stupid as fuck clown tf post, look I have always hated clowns being fetishized (because clowns are not a species of alien/monster/animal, they are actual people with jobs) but the fact he had to be all 'what if body horror transformation but with clowns with the hands bursting open to reveal gloves that tear at everything else as your nose bursts and swells uncomfortable, revealing a clown nose underneath?' Yeah that already exists, it's called Clown and it's a horror movie - made it even worse. Thanks a lot for bringing back the Bluman08 roleplay trauma, you creep. And also did I mention he made like a huge collaboration with Zeydaan who is a notoriously creeper and clown fetishist?

alright, so!! i often tell my roommate about all the SMPs i’m interested in, which mostly includes Hermitcraft, Empires, DSMP, and the Life Series. and i tend to tell her about all the new stuff going on. occasionally, we’ll watch videos of Hermitcraft and Life Series together. sometimes we’ll watch some solo content from Mumbo or Etho.

i’ve made it pretty clear that she doesn’t need to remember the names or even really watch it, but she does actually enjoy it a lot. however, it’s a lot of content to keep up with and remember, which i totally agree!! while i love these SMPs so much, but i bet it’s gotta be hella overwhelming to newcomers sometimes.

anyway!! so. i just found out that she has apparently combined all these SMPs in her mind and i want to share her perspective with you bc it’s now my favorite thing ever, so here we go:

The MCU (Minecraft Universe) according to my roommate:

all the Minecraft SMPs combined should be referred as the MCU (Minecraft Universe) — this is literally what she calls them and i love that. according to her, there’s so many characters that crossover into other SMPs, it just makes sense to make it into a combined universe. it’s the best thing ever.

there are only 11 total Minecraft Men. that’s it. — this number actually went up bc originally she decided there were only 5??? she counted them out for me tho, and there are, in fact, 11 Minecraft Men.

there is also only one (1) Minecraft woman. she is also the only Minecraft wife — i think she’s talking about LDShadowlady bc i talk a lot about Joel?? but i’m not sure if she’s combined Lizzie and Kristin into one person. either way, she is the only Minecraft wife/woman to exist bc my roommate doesn’t know there’s more. (bruh, when i show her there’s more than one Minecraft woman, it’s gonna blow her mind ahdjskf)

the Minecraft Men are described only as “the husbandos, the guy with the demon boyfriend, the demon, and the child of one of the husbandos”

it’s pretty unclear who the child is, but i THINK she means Sapnap bc i kept telling her how excited i was that Sapnap’s favorite headcanon for his character is that C!Skephalo are his parents agajfkdkgkg

no, this doesn’t mean that Skeppy and BBH are part of the husbandos. i quickly realized this bc she doesn’t remember who the child is. he’s simply just known as “the child” and he has canonically gay parents apparently agdjakfk

when i asked her to describe the rest of the Minecraft Men, she gave me the following list (not in any particular order):

Technoblade (also known as “Piggie Potato War Man!!”)

Kakashi

the Flower Husbands<3

the “husbands that started a monopoly together”

that “one guy who confessed his love to a demon”

the Demon

the Child of the Husbandos

Redstone Man:)

Joel

after that, she decided to share some specific moments that she remembers, but doesn’t know which SMP they happened in, so they’ve just happened in all of them—

the wedding where the one guy tried to say that the demon was his boyfriend, but the demon immediately went offline and the guy was like “oh.” — this was the exact moment i realized she was talking about JOEY. SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT C!JOEY GRACEFFA GETTING REJECTED BY XORNOTH AT LIZZIE AND JOEL’S WEDDING AHSJSKFSHDJF

“there was once a cow heist bc someone stole all the cows” — apparently Jimmy and Scott’s Cow Heist during 3rd Life??? man, i loved that moment, but i was so surprised that’s the moment she remembered out of everything in 3rd Life (/pos!)

“there was a ranch that burned down that one time” — once again, i was not prepared for this shdjdkg. pretty sure that she’s talking about Double Life bc we watched a lot of Joel and Etho’s POVs of that one together

“and i remember there was a panda sanctuary that got burnt down!!” — she was so excited to remember this one?? shsjffks it was adorable. another one from Double Life

anyway, i’m planning on showing her all the character skins and letting her go wild with guessing names and such. she’s literally so excited to learn more and start figuring out who’s who.

for the record, she’s only watched a few episodes of the Life Series and Hermitcraft (plus a few Empires’ clips), but she’s only heard me talk about the DSMP and never seen any of those characters or even just most of the people of Hermitcraft, so this will be hella fun:)

Demigod MC Series: Hestia

This is another eternally virgin goddess, so we're doing another pseudo-demigod by adoption (like we did with Athena).

Demigod MC: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Athena, Hades Pt. 2, Poseidon, Ares, Hestia

Hestia is the goddess of the Hearth, Home, Architecture, Domesticity, Family, and the State. She's high up there (firstborn of Rhea and Cronus), but several factors have led to her falling into the background when compared to the other (flashier) Olympians. She swore to never marry, rejecting proposals from both Poseidon and Apollo, and is something of an antithesis to Aphrodite.

Lucifer

Honestly? He thought they were exactly what they were after. A weak human with no experience in the magical world what-so-ever.

Well… He was half-right.

On the surface, this is a pretty weak human. They don't have super flashy powers or a divine birth from the gods… but they do have a very protective adoptive mother.

The brothers had just settled in for their first dinner with the new human when the goddess herself strolled into their dining room, asked who was in charge, then dragged Lucifer away by the ear!

She's not even his mother, yet he felt the intense urge to apologize and put himself in his own room… Oh, the humiliation… at least she did the same to Diavolo…

The Prince was only able to calm her down by promising absolutely NO harm would come to her child… on their heads...

By the time the goddess finally let him go, Lucifer was about ready to shackle the MC to his wrist so nothing could touch them but he settled on keeping them with him like an assistant of sorts. They were in charge of helping him with the paperwork so he could keep an eye on them. 

What he didn’t expect was for them to be so… good at it? They could keep his offices clean, they managed his daily schedule, fixed up the House, and still have time to bring him tea and sweets every night!

They could even reign in his brothers somehow… They weren't strong or intimidating, but one or two mildly unhappy words out of them and everybody would be on their best behavior.

Was everyone positive they're only human...?

As much as he hated to admit, he may have a slight deep case of falling for the housekeeper… He would make a move, but well…

He has Beel to contend with first.

Mammon

Okay so, watching Lucifer get dragged out by the ear just like Raphael used to do to him was hilarious!!! The whole room got a good laugh! 🤣

Until Hestia glared at them and suddenly they all felt like they'd disappointed someone important….

And all that fuss over some dumb human??

So what if they made amazing food?

So what if they could clean the entire mansion in a day?

So what if they were the walking equivalent to a warm cup of cocoa on a winter's day??

So what if they were just the kindest, sweetest thing in this godforsaken hellscape and he would throw himself in front of a bus to keep them safe-

-Wait, when did that happen?!?

Seriously, Mammon's attachment to the MC came out of NOWHERE to him. One day, he was threatening to eat their soul and the next he's freaking out when they stub their toe!

He swears they have to have some kind of magic about them! A charm, or a spell, or… their lovable smile and warm, loving hugs...! 😊

Damnit!! They're too cute!! He needs them to go away but also never leave, thanks. 😒

In all seriousness, though their kind nature puts Mammon's tsundere self at a bit of a disadvantage, his protective instincts shoot through the roof whenever they're involved.

Naturally, that means his day is spent running them away from hungry lesser demons or shielding them from Beel and Lucifer's tug-of-war matches… He's a busy guy these days. 😖

Leviathan 

They're so… so… MOE!!!

That was his immediate thought when Mammon brought them home. He was expecting a defenseless human, but not one that could have stepped out of one of his slice-of-life manga!

To be honest, his instant thought was try and find a place to sit them on his shelves with the rest of the adorable characters he loves… 😅

And that was before they even opened their mouth! Five words into their introduction and he was ready to get their face on a t-shirt!!

Honestly, combine their natural cuteness with their household skills and they made for perfect waifu/husbando material… 

Not helped by the fact they found one of his maid/butler outfits while doing the laundry one day. Not only did they ask if they could wear it, they actually non-ironically liked it and started wearing it around the House!!

Oh he got cornered by Beel, Lucifer, and Mammon separately that day because they thought he was using them for fetish fuel… But it was their idea, he swears!!

I mean… He didn't discourage them or anything either but still…

If Beel hadn't claimed them on Day One, Levi might have eventually thrown his hat in the ring too... Oh well… he can pine from a distance… What else is new? 😔

Satan

He has a video of Hestia dragging Lucifer out of the dining room on his phone and it's one of his most treasured possessions now. 😌

He is perhaps the only person in the House who was not at all impressed with their little human.

So they could cook? So could he. So they can clean? That's not impressive. They could manage a household? Big deal, he's more or less been in charge of the same thing for centuries!

As far as he saw it, there was nothing the MC could do that he couldn't do as proficiently or even better. There was nothing remarkable about this human at all!

… except for one thing.

That maid/butler outfit of Levi's? The one they like to wear around?

It has cat accessories…

Either they don't notice or they don't mind it but they essentially walk around the House cleaning things with little kitty ears attached to their head and a bell on their collar…

Dammit… Why did Levi even buy that?!?

Satan ended up getting in trouble for enchanting their outfit to give them REAL ears and a tail "accidentally..." Lucifer strung him up by his toes, Beel gave him a black-eye, and Mammon still calls him a "perverted cat freak" but it was worth it, he says, worth it!!

Asmodeus 

Oh Beel…

Asmo saw Beel's feelings for the MC coming from a mile away. He didn't even need to confirm it with a sniff check, he had them scented by the end of their first night!

Lucifer, on the other hand, now that was a surprise... 😏

Ask him a century ago if Lucifer would ever consider a human lover, godly mother or no, and he'd have laughed! Yet here he is, giving gifts and sneaking whiffs of their adorable new housemate!

Of course, that's causing some commotion because they're pitted against each other, but Asmo finds it kind of cute honestly. 

Beel and Lucifer aren't fighting, not for real. The whole house knows Lucifer would win in a real brawl, but neither of them actually want to hurt the other… They're far too close for that.

So Beel tosses Lucifer around with kid gloves and Lucifer holds back considerably against Beel. It's pretty much just two brothers who love each other squabbling over the same toy… 🤭

Honestly, Lucifer might have bowed out by now and just let Beel have them but now his pride's on the line… thus an endless tussle between family and the sweet MC is in the middle, clueless to it all!

Tragic, is it not? But it certainly makes things more entertaining around here! (Good thing too since Beel beat him to the punch… If it's a fight against those two, he'll have to keep any of his own affairs with the MC under the radar... 😏)

Beelzebub 

He has claimed this one. Full stop.

For a bit of perspective: when Barbatos needs cooking tips, he calls Hestia. Hestia, the Divine Master of All Things Cooking. Hestia, the goddess who raised this MC… 

Needless to say if they have any magic at all, it's in the kitchen.

If food is the way to Beel's heart, this MC has claimed his heart, soul, and probably all of his vital organs. Their food is astounding!! Always perfect every time and so good it brings him to tears!

It started the night of that first dinner, prepared by MC. He was too busy scarfing down the table to even notice a goddess showed up and then he proposed to the MC with their own pig roast by meal's end!

They said no to marriage, but an instant pact agreement suited him just fine.

Beel didn't waste a single moment before he started treating them like a potential mate, territorial aggression and all, but there was a bit of a catch… He kept the MC totally oblivious to it.

Surprisingly, Beel's can turn the "They're MINE" part of his brain on and off pretty well. He's nothing but sweet and cuddly to the MC when they're around and even with his brothers!... as long as they don't try anything.

The moment he caught whiff that Lucifer might be pursuing them too, it was on. Suddenly the two brothers who almost never fight were in competition against each other! But of course, both have an unspoken rule to never do so in front of MC.

And now poor MC believes it's common for demons to "play wrestle" like puppies and hugs are traditionally supposed to be so hard they could snap spines… 

And it doesn’t look like they'll be backing down any time soon… Oh dear...

Belphegor 

You know what? For once, everything goes exactly to plan for Belphie!

No really, this MC has no hidden powers, no magic horses, not even Demon Nip. They are a helpless, trusting little human who just wants to help their big teddy bear get his twin back!

So, you know how it goes. The charm, the lies, the treachery and all of that. He even gets to kill them!! Oh, happy days!! 😁

Come to think of it, they did smell an awful lot like Beel… But who cares, as long as Lucifer suffers right?? And this whole "living together in harmony" crap fails, right?!

Wrong. 

Beel went ballistic. Lucifer did too, but Beel was what really hurt…

Belphie can safely say that in all of his life, Beel has never physically attacked him. Not once, or at least, not with intent to kill… 

But when the sixthborn's fist went crashing through the wall right by his ear that day, he knew his brother's first instinct was to aim for his head… and his second was to miss, as he still loved him, but only by just a little.

What the hell did he just do??

Thank their father for Barbatos and all the funky time stuff he can do because bringing the MC "back" snapped his angry brothers right out of it. 

Things should have been smoothed over at that point but as everyone was finally settling down for tea, Hestia made another appearance in the House… this time carrying a butcher's knife!

Time fix or no, Diavolo had promised her no harm would come to MC and at least one continuity of them DIED… so punishment was now on Lucifer and the Demon Prince himself!

Belphie, in a rare case of guilt and an expression of brotherly love, offered to take their place since it WAS kind of all his fault. His gesture softened the Goddess of Family juuust enough to lighten his sentence from execution to hard labor.

And thus, the MC had their own housekeeping assistant for a whole year, complete with bitter reluctance and a matching maid outfit! Cat-theme and all!!

He's sending nightmares to anybody who laughs… guaranteed. 😒

Four more entries in my 100 OC Challenge! As always, new versions up top, first drawings of each at bottom, character info below the cut.

#29: Hime Kokoro (SHUT UP)  Idea: Beyond "Sin's Love Interest," I've got no clue anymore. Story: Year Zero

Oh, honey. Honey. I did you so dirty, girl. Not as dirty as Luris, certainly, but dirty. Or at least I think I did, because I cannot for the life of me remember what Hime was supposed to get up to. 

Well, for starters, what we see of her is that she's Sin's closest (and only seen) friend amongst Lord Gerardis' captains. Despite the fact that she gets a POV chapter, the chapter is more focused on their trip out to where Absolution was found than anything really involving establishing her as a character.  Regardless, I remember that she was obviously supposed to be the one legitimately nice person in the whole of the White Tower. 

Also I pretty fucking blatantly based her appearance on Orihime from Bleach. Teen Nost wasn't even trying to hide it, honestly. 

As for her role when our "heroes" get to the White Tower, I honestly can't remember. I don't remember if she was going to attempt to fight them in a sort of "I don't want to fight Sin, but I have to remain loyal" deal. I almost certainly didn't figure out what happens with her and Taris, what with them being identical twins. But like the rest of the heroes, she does survive and probably waits around for Sin to come back from his wandering the Earth in penance because that's what nice girls like her do. 

If I ever get around to The Rejiggering, beyond the obvious "giving her more agency and overall purpose," I definitely would want to put more emphasis on her "morals vs. duty" conundrum. And, you know...change her name.

#30: Absolution Idea: Mysterious genocidal tree man, also hella gay Story: Year Zero

At last, the guy I was most curious about how much his design would change now that I'm not just slapping a brown skin tone on an anime face, but am actually considering semi-realistic facial features. Still a work in progress, but we're getting there. 

Absolution is probably the one character in this whole story I don't see changing too terribly much outside of digging more into the nature of his being, or possibly making him even more eldritch. 

But yes, as stated numerous times through the other characters, Absolution is the mysterious man found in the mysterious glowing tree with the ability to create life from nothing. G finds him, plans to use him as part of a double team with Sin in his world domination plans, but Absolution decides "Nah, fuck that" and kills G when our heroes reach the top of the White Tower. See, for reasons I don't think I fully developed beyond "Wouldn't it be cool (and also kinda hawt)," Absolution was obsessed with Sin, or at least the bioweapon inside of him, and wanted to activate him and wipe out the entirety of the planet, leaving nothing but the two of them. He does a hell of a job at first, too, activating the Great Destroyer with a kiss, but Sin manages to contain the damage to just the Inner City. 

So, you know, RIP rich folk. 

Absolution's pretty upset that his husbando doesn't want to kill absolutely everything, but he figures, "Eh, if I smack you around a bit, you'll come to your senses and we can get to killing." That doesn't go well for him, and Sin kills him after a big dumb anime fight over the ruins of the Inner City.

As for the reworking, I mentioned before it'd probably be a more interesting idea if Sin and Absolution were both part of the same mysterious bioweapon plant race; it'd also certainly go a ways towards better establishing why Absolution's fixated on Sin beyond "I'm just a nihilist, I guess, lol." Beyond that, the damage would absolutely not be contained to just the IC. Everything needs to get fucked. Maybe our heroes survive, but ain't no winners with doomsday weapons around. I also see Sin and Absolution pulling a mutual kill, possibly with a cheeky little "they're regrowing somewhere else, maybe in Lacryma's ruins". Iunno.

#31: Luris Idea: Sexual assassin. That's unfortunately it. Story: Year Zero

At last, we get to probably my most unfortunate character, the culmination of the "Mostly Here to Be a Sexy Villain" trifecta alongside Mulore and Maria. Only this time, she actually has sex. Like, I'm not kidding when I say her whole character is probably the nadir of my teenage internalized misogyny and my adolescent notion of what made mature writing mature. Full disclosure.

Luris is the most trusted captain and bodyguard of G, and rumors abound they may have a little something going on behind the scenes; at least, Sin seems to think so.  Her specialty is sexpionage (and no, I didn't come up with that pormanteau) and assassination, and G so values her work that he even allows her to occasionally target Inner City civilians in order to keep her skills sharp.

Her primary role in the story comes down to one chapter. She manages to not only locate Sin in the Outer City, but to find the very rebel base itself. She presents herself as having defected from the White Tower after hearing about G leaving Sin for dead, and claims that she always loved Sin, but knew that he wouldn't choose her over "that prude Hime," so if she couldn't have his love, she wanted his hate instead. But from the first word, Sin doesn't buy it.  He allows her to start to get intimate with him, but only to get her into a vulnerable position on his bed so he can stab her to death. He makes sure to say some pretty goddamn terrible things about her to the microphone in her earring which he knows is feeding audio back to G.

And that's it. The sum totality of her character is "she's a black widow and then she fuckin' dies." And honestly, as much as I don't like mercy killing a character, in the rejiggered story, the best thing to do would probably be to cut her entirely. But I feel like Teen Nost did her too dirty to just take her out behind the shed, so I should really come up with something more substantial for her to get up to.

#32: Winter Idea: Shy little ice mage who has to fight her friends Story: Love Like Winter (based on the album "decemberunderground" by AFI)

Now here's a story I'd definitely like to revisit, even if it's fairly simplistic.  I totally should've drawn these next few characters before the Year Zero cast, since they predate them, but I didn't actually upload the one drawing I did of them to deviantART, so I forgot to include them until I'd already started the Year Zero kids. But whatever. 

So this is Winter, a teenage ice mage who lives in a hidden city housing the last of humanity. She and her best friends, the fire mage Summer and the shadow mage Silence, were training to become proper mages and join a monastic order dedicated to protecting the city from the demons which threatened them daily.

One day, the three of them learned of forbidden rituals which could unlock incredible magical power within the user, provided they 1) "survived" the process and 2) kept their sanity. Silence, being young and reckless, wondered why the monks wouldn't take them through this process; obviously, if all them went through the ritual, they'd have more than enough power to drive back the demons and reclaim the surface world. Winter was much more against the idea, for the obvious reason of "it tends to kill people," but Summer was on the fence about it. 

That was, until Silence managed to not only figure out what the ritual entailed, but to successfully complete it. Now imbued with powerful dark magic, she took to the surface and started cutting swathes through the demons with monsters of her own creation.

Seeing just how well she was tearing through their mortal enemies, Summer sought her out and asked her to take him through his own ritual. But while the two had managed to overcome hurdle one of the process, they hadn't completed hurdle two: the keeping of the sanity. And it wasn't long before Silence decided that because she was the one who was finally clearing the demons out, she should be in charge of the city instead of those dumbass monks. Summer decided since he owed Silence for this newfound power, he was along for the ride. 

Which left Winter with the unenviable job of having to kill the two of them. The monks now had their hands full with trying to stop both demon incursions and Silence and Summer, so they tasked Winter with tracking down and defeating her former friends, for who is the last person that they'd see coming? 

Well, despite her best efforts, this turns out to be a bad idea. Though Winter managed to break through Silence's ranks with her trainee abilities, between her lack of power and her hesitance to fight her friends, she couldn't stop Summer. Winter barely managed to escape and return to the order, where she came to the conclusion that she was unfortunately going to have to fight fire with fire (or fire with ICE, huh? HUH?!). She was going to have to go through the ritual herself. Initially, the monks were reluctant, but it quickly became apparent it was the only option they had. 

Thus, she finally learned what the process was: the ritual practitioner would be consumed by the element of their choice to the point of death. If they were truly attuned to this element, however, the element would reanimate them, allowing them to freely channel this power through their form. For Winter, this meant drowning herself in a frozen pool of water. Thankfully, the process worked, and she returned to Silence's tower ready to beat some ass.

Though still not completely ready, since there was another hang up: she was completely in love with Summer. Like any good teenage protagonist, she'd originally thought Summer was in love with Silence, but after the death ritual, she wasn't going to play that game anymore. She was going to beat Summer's ass, make him see reason, and confess her feelings. 

And she does all three in spectacular fashion, winning Summer over to her side and convincing him to help her fight Silence, since she was the strongest of the three even before the death ritual. The three have a hellacious battle, but by that time, Silence's sanity was so far gone that after wearing down her body, Winter and Summer had to infiltrate her mind in order to return her to sense. It's magic, you know how it is. 

Whether or not they manage to bring her back, however, has flip-flopped over the years. Initially, they did, and they convinced the monastic order to simply imprison rather than execute her. But later, I started to think that maybe she actively chose to stay locked within her own mind in a catatonic state out of penance, and would only come back when she felt she'd reflected enough on what she'd done. 

But at the very least, Winter and Summer get a relatively happy ending together.

Originally, Winter's superpowered mode was basically just standard aura-floating hair-glowy eyes stuff, but doing the redraw, I thought, "Wouldn't it be cooler if I incorporated the dying part more and made her look frostbitten?" I dunno how well that comes off, but y'know. I tried.

Hello! May I please request headcanons with the buster bros (+Samatoki? If that’s okay!) with an S/O who is into anime + idol (rhythm) games? Thank you! Hope you’re having a good day/night 💙

A/N: *Rubs hands together* Buckle up yall, this is a long one. I may have had too much fun writing this... :p lol enjoy~

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

Ichiro Yamada

Ichiro first saw you at a manga cafe rocking some merch from your favorite game franchise and had to go over and talk to you

he also found out that you're into anime too

he may try and quiz you to test how into games/anime you are

his eyes light up and his heart pounds but he plays it cool

after a long interrogation conversation, he asked if you would meet him back at the cafe next week

he lent you the latest issue of a light novel that you never got around to reading

now he would have an excuse to see you again

a few months later one of your favorite animes was being played in the theatre once so you both went on a date to see it

if its a sappy rom-com he will 100% deny that he cried and brush it off as an eyelash caught in his eye

but he totally did

to be fair you did too

though he may prefer light novels over anime most times

he will totally sit down at watch the new season of an anime you two enjoy together

prepare for a brain malfunction if you tell him you're into cosplaying

"oh yeah I cosplayed them a year ago"

"y-you wouldn't happen to have any pictures, w-would you?"👀"

*cue nosebleed*

"That's it, I've found my soulmate" he says he's kidding but actually means it

ANYWAY

him being a weeb

Ichiro is also well versed in rhythm games

he will tell you if your waifu/husbando is trash or not

you both have your own little superstitions and rituals you do before gacha pulls

you might use a certain finger to click the screen because that's the lucky one

Ichiro turns the volume up and closes his eyes before clicking

"What no way!! CLICK MY SCREEN! YOU'RE LUCKY TODAY!"

"AHHH thank you y/n! Look at them! They're so cute!"

you both marvel over the cute characters

he is totally impressed by the songs you can do on pro/master

"NO WAY A FULL COMBO?!?!! You're amazing!" 😍

he will totally challenge you to see who can get a better score

but you always win

he did come close a few times

but gets flustered and flubs it up at the end when you're watching over this shoulder

he finds it cute when you're humming along to the songs while DESTROYING the beat map

Bonus+

*you unbox a package left on the doorstep to find a scanty cosplay* "Ichiro, what is this?!?" "What? I thought you would look cute in it" ;p "I'm not dressing up as your favorite idol!" "wh- babe why not?!" :"( "ok maybe..."

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

Jiro Yamada

Like Ichiro, Jiro is a big nerd too

you two met in a soccer match of all places

you were taking a break during halftime when you quoted a line from some weird obscure anime

"No way you watch ___ too? I thought I was the only one!"

you haven't seen each other before because you're on different teams from rivalling schools

after the game he gives you his number then the rest is history

you two end up messaging each other all night talking about other animes and games you enjoy

he likes sports animes along with action and adventure

you also found out he plays rhythm games too

after a while, he'll invite you over to the Yamada household and show you his collection of light novels and games

"There's more where this came from, my big bro is a bigger nerd than I am."

you'll sit down on his bed and show each other your cards and play a few songs

"Jiro why is your tap sound louder than the music!?!?"

"I need to hear the beats or I'll fail the stage!!"

He might challenge you to see who can get a higher score

you both play on hard

but you're pretty evenly matched

"Haha! That's a point for me, y/n!"

"No fair! I don't know that song very well..."

If you don't have the best gacha luck Jiro will cry with you during your loss

he's not much better...

"NOOOO I PULLED THE WORST ONE"

and because of that, this boy spends all of his allowance on gacha...

"Jiro, don't tell me you actually bought a gacha pass..."

"I SPENT ALL OF MY GEMS TRYING TO GET THEM SO I HAD TO!"

"JIRO!!!"

"Y/N PLEASE, I NEEDED THEM!!" (╥_╥)

Bonus+

"Here Jiro I got you this." He excitedly opens the package. "No way! A ___ Figure??!" "They're your favorite right?" "YESS" He sets the figure down and bear hugs you. "Thank you y/n, I'll treasure this forever!"

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

Saburo Yamada

Saburo picked up anime from his brothers

they would all watch action animes together as kids

until Saburo started a fight with Jiro and they tried to one punch each other out of existence

"HEY GUYS CUT IT OUT YOU'RE NOT FRIKKIN SAITAMA"

ahem. moving on...

Saburo is a nerd too

but he may be a bit more casual (in his own way)

he spotted you playing a rhythm game in the corner of the hall during lunch break

"Is that _____? I play ______"

"Oh really? Whos your favorite?"

"What? you like them?!? You have no taste..."

"W-what?! Shut up! their cards always have good stats!"

"But look how pretty this one is!"

you two quickly become friends and meet up every lunch and discuss things like your methods to preserve gems

Saburo likes making charts and spreadsheets to predict what event will be next and what characters are featured

"Haha! look y/n I totally called it!"

He likes collecting cards and comparing the stats

cause that's fun too I guess :/

He must assemble the best possible unit

I can see you two having competitions to see who can get the best score

or who can rank higher in an event

Saburo is very good at analyzing the beat map at first glance

he will also point out patterns he sees to try and help you understand the rhythms

he usually plays on hard and pro

while you do pretty well on normal or hard

he likes a good action/fantasy anime

but he likes sci-fi too

maybe even mystery

he was nervous asking you over to his place to watch anime

because you suggested a slice of life rom-com

does this mean he makes a move or you just watch it together and that's it O_o

Bonus+

"Yes! New high score! Y/n, did you see that?" You giggle. Good job Saburo. You lean over to kiss his cheek then see the smoke coming out of his ears. "Y-y/n!" *blush blush* "Hehe, you're so cute when you're nerding out.

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

Samatoki Aohitsugi

Rio invited Samatoki out to a neat cafe because they offered cool exotic blends

When they walked in Samatoki was intrigued spotting your crazy colored hair and tattoos from the corner of his eye

which was weird cause that's not his type

or maybe it was

After ordering the coffee and sitting down Rio noticed that he was distracted

"I see you staring, why don't you go over and talk to her?"

"I wasn't staring! But there's just something about her..."

you were sitting in the corner of the cafe reading manga when he approached you a few minutes later

"uh hey, I like your tattoos"

"Oh thanks! Do you watch___ too?"

*casual panic* "Oh yeah totally, what are you reading?"

You knew he was faking it but continued anyway

"Eh, what's the difference?" 😮 "The difference is--"

He didn't know much about what you were saying but he loved watching you talk about something you were obviously passionate for

through an hour or so of conversation, you realized you both had more in common than you thought

he asked if you would like to do something like this again and gave you his number

You were happy to explain plots of random animes and games to him

Samatoki may not get the appeal but he likes seeing you happy

You go on a few dates and make your relationship official

he's absolutely fascinated by you and your nerdiness

"BABE!!!" "What is it?! Are you ok!?" "I JUST GOT A SSR CARD OF (insert favorite character here)"

Tch, *rolls his eyes. "That's good, right?" "LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE!"

he may get a little jealous watching you fawn over you your fav

"Hmmph, why would you want a fictional character when you have a real man right here?"

*author sobs* :")

you let him try a song on normal difficulty

but it is still hard for him

"What the hell! Why are these notes coming at me so fast?!"

He doesn't pick up any manga or light novels

but he likes watching anime with you though

preferably a good action and or adventure one

he may become more interested when the female lead shows up on screen

hey, eyes up here buddy >:(

he won't say it but he secretly likes romcoms

maybe cause Nemu used to watch them growing up

I can see him getting so invested he'll yell at the characters

"Are you stupid?? She's trying to confess to you! Moron..." he huffs

(he does this with cooking shows too)

Bonus+

"Samatoki come on! The next episode of ___ is airing! You rush into the bedroom. "Hey, have you seen my pho-" "Shut up, I'm trying- to win." You laugh hysterically at him stealing your phone to get a full combo. "You got this babe, I believe in you!"

Thank you for reading!

Husband! Ushijima || Haikyuu!!  

⚠️  Warnings: Manga Spoilers Ahead || light nsfw towards the end || mentions of alcohol use ||

Gender Neutral Reader

Very quiet husband

Not very possessive or jealous

He is very much intimidating bc he’s a big boy

Type of husband who’d bring you food after practice no matter what time it is

Not home often but thank god you work for the volleyball news association

Always at his games and the other bc your branch mostly works w MSBY and the Adlers

Low key jealous when you have to head over to Adlers bc arch enemies u know

A big fan of your uniform bc is simple and well fitting

Answers your questions better than he would any other reporter

Low key he is internally freaking out bc he just want to look at you all day

YOU LOOK WAY TO GOOD IN YOUR F-ING SUIT

HE JUST WANTS TO HOLD YOU AND KITH UR FOREHEAD

No one else can tell but he’s looking at you so lovingly and it makes you blush so hard

He’s accidentally said you looked good on LIVE TELEVISION UGH

U wanna kill this man for making you blush so damn hard smh

Once he’s officially in Adlers speculations rise about your relationship so y’all don't tend to hide it anymore

During interviews you fix his hair or the other way around 

When he’s volleyball season is over, you only work from home writing reports

Meaning more time at home with the husband if he isn’t working out or training

Most dates consist of city life outings or finding a local noodle place and spending the night talking away there

Or just walking at night because he obviously isn’t the biggest talker

You like the outings 

He likes staying at home and rewatching matches with you (ofc)

You don’t complain, sometimes you miss his games and you end up watching the ones you’ve missed, and there's a handful of em.

You bought him a cheaper replica of your ring because HE DOES NOT TAKE IT OFF

NO CAP WILL NOT TAKE IF OFF NOT EVEN FOR A GAME

We love a dedicated man

He doesn’t see the point in taking it of if it doesn’t bother his spikes

But you make his take it off to replace it with one of those rubber ones bc you began to see light bruising on his ring finger when u lotioned his hands

Now he's a pouty boy

Doen’t like the rubber one so he doesn’t even fucking wear it

“Y/N… I don’t like it”

“Toshi… you’re going to bruise your finger even worse if you wear the ring”

“But-”

“Not but’s” *forehead kiss* “just don’t put on the ring”

“But now people won't know that i’m married to you”

God you try so hard not to laugh at his kid-ish behaviour. 

He likes to subtle about you

Like when they ask if he’s in a relationship

His teammates groan internally (the low key love you tho)

Back to being at home, he occasionally plays video games

Likes the position where he's facing the tv and you’re just holding onto him like a koala

Dislikes you being far away when you’re home

But if you want space he’ll obviously give it you

Y’all have a guest room for that reason

Not because Tendo occasionally comes over and gets both of you drunk to let lose

SPEAKING OF

He isn’t a heavy drinker but likes occasionally having a drink with you

Drunk sex (slight nsfw under)

MMM 

Since he's more lose, he's really grabby

He’s an ass guy so likes messing around with your butt

Tendo is used to drunk and handsy ushijima 

When u get up to pee or something, expect him to slap you ass in front of tendo

THAT SHIT HURTS

DOES NOT REALIZE HOW HARD HE SLAPS until the next morning he sees a bruise on your ass

Doesn’t give one fuck that tendos in the next room and just… fucks you

Its doggy style so he had on hand on your shoulder pushing into him

And the other is covering your mouth with his hand 

Or he has you in a headlock while you’re just drooling nonsense 

Yes… ushijima makes a great husband

Brings you flowers once a week

Spoils you a lot 

Buys you all his merch 

Gets jealous of his own damn bodypillow 

Found you sleeping w it one time he came back from a tournament abroad

Hides it from you when he's come bc only he gets to hold you in his arms

Overall best husbando, will fight anyone who tried to take you away from him

[mlqcconfessions]

how would the boys react if they found out mc was OBSESSED w dating sims? (what if mc’s virtual husbando is the literal opposite of them??)

Hello hello everyone! It’s been a while! I’m slowly getting readjusted to normal life, and that means.....RESUMING THE HEADCANONS!

MLQC Headcanon - I can be your otome husbando

*This is with the impression that there are only 3 main guys in the game (excluding Shaw)

Victor

You’ve recently been attached to this new otome game

Mr. Love Queen’s Choice (!)

It has everything (the art, the boys, the story, the BOYS)

All the boys are great, but your eyes are stuck on Kiro in particular

He’s so sweet? He’s so fluffy?

A. Literal. Sunshine Boy.

Victor takes notice of your new obsession

He’s a little frustrated at this (your attention is headed somewhere else now)

He blames it on the game (but of course doesn’t say it to your face)

One day he walks in to the room and finds you

You have your phone glued to your ear, smiling like there’s no tomorrow

Victor was planning on just ignoring this phenomenon (he didn’t want to know what was up anyways)

But a faint voice stops him in his tracks

“Miss Chips!”

Miss...what? (he hears a thud)

When he turns around, he finds you crouched on the floor (your hands are covering your face)

“MC!”

He dashes to your side, voice a little shaky

“Victor......”

He helps you get up, but your legs won’t cooperate (he crouches next to you instead)

“What is it, MC?”

“Victor.....he....he’s.....”

“Who’s he?” (Victor takes out his phone to call 911)

“Kiro.....”

Kiro?

“He’s so adorable, Victor! I can’t handle his cuteness!!”

.......

He hangs up his phone and gets up to leave the room

He lets out a huge sigh, rubbing his temples in annoyance

He contacts Elex the next day to discuss their......marketing techniques

Kiro

Lately Kiro’s been busy promoting his new comeback

So you weren’t able to spend much time with him nowadays

To ease your loneliness, he suggests you find some games to download (he thought you would play some Tamagotchi or something)

That was your plan too, at least in the beginning

You stumble across an ad for Mr. Love Queen’s Choice, and immediately go to the app store (sorry, Tama)

You start the game and are shooketh at the visuals

“Kiro, look at this!”

“? What is this?”

“Remember how you told me I should play some games? Well I found this one...and I really like it!”

“Hmmm......” (he looks intently at your phone screen)

You’re hoping the fact that it’s a dating game doesn’t matter

“You...don’t mind...do you?”

“Hmm? Of course not!”

He would regret this later

You become so immersed in this game that you basically have a second boyfriend

Lucien? Why is he only 2D?

He’s so suave and smooth (you were used to the bubbly sunshine Kiro, but not smexy smart professor LuLu)

Kiro’s so pouty now

He makes Savin play through the game so he can know exactly who stole his lady sunshine

He spends real money (that he earned!) so he can buy all the karma from events and top-ups

He has like 20K gems

You’re so frustrated at this

He spoils all the dates for Lucien (you have to literally cover his mouth to make him stop)

Now you’re the one pouting (he hands over his account as an apology you readily accept)

Lucien

He already knew about your otome life

And the fact that you played through every single game available at one point

He’s not someone who would judge you for that

But that doesn’t mean he’s feels no jealousy

So he does some research before you could try out this new one, Mr. Love Queen’s Choice

Little to his surprise, you fall head over heels for Gavin (something about that soft puppy just reels you in)

He actively engages in conversations with you about Gavin

After all, you’ve never looked so enthusiastic

He watches you play through MLQC

He already knows what’s going to happen in the main story, but doesn’t say a word to you

But if you’re having trouble understanding the plot, he’s more than happy to explain everything

As time goes on, you’re becoming more engrossed in this game than he would’ve liked

Every time it’s windy you keep saying stuff about Gavin

Gavin this, Gavin that

“MC, are you trying to make me jealous?”

“.....no?”

Actually you were (ever since he allowed that female professor to openly flirt with him)

He realizes right away, so there’s no point in bluffing

“Ah, I see” (he goes over to his phone)

“Hello Professor Evans, can I talk to you for a moment?”

Evans? Evans?! That woman from school?

“Yes, about that dinner date tomorrow—”

You take his phone away from him and go to press the end call button

His phone is off

“........Lucien”

He pats your head before going to the bedroom

“Good night, MC” (he’s not even trying to hold back his smile)

Gavin (Spoilers for recent chapters)

He didn’t like leaving you alone for extended periods of time (for more than one reason)

But he was assigned to a long-term mission with Eli and the other agents

There wasn’t anything he could do about it (it frustrated him more than you)

He finally returned home after a month, exhausted (and INJURED) as ever

He walks in through the door, half-expecting you to jump into his arms (he’s getting ready to catch you)

To his surprise, you’re sitting on the couch with your knees pulled to your chest

It looks like you’re on the phone with someone (you hardly noticed him come in)

He’s a little pouty, but completely understands that it must be an important call

He takes off his jacket and swoops down to give you a kiss

But he notices you’re not actually on the phone, but crying

CRYING?!

“MC! What’s wrong?”

“....Gavin....” (you wrap your arms around his neck)

He tightly hugs you back, brushing your hair in attempts to calm you down

“It’s okay....tell me what happened”

“He...he forgot me.....”

“He? Who forgot you?” (he was about to throw hands)

“Vi...Victor.....”

“Victor? Is he a friend of yours?”

“No....(you show him one of Victor’s karmas on your phone)....from Mr. Love Queen’s Choice”

Is this.....a 2D male?

“And after all we’ve been through....”

You cover yourself with a nearby blanket, leaving Gavin to take in this situation by himself

Birdcop is highly confused

He can’t explain this gut feeling, but this Victor guy seems like a jerk

It’s still going to take me a while to get used to writing again, but this was a good ask! 

[vitessastvdy]

I finished Initial d! (my edit above, like if you save:))

I'm so happy. It took me less then a month. It was so interesting I couldn't put it down. The world of street racers in the 90s. I'm in love with the late 90s and early 2000s. Life was a lot more simplier back then.

Immidiately after I watched the last ep of final stage I had teares in my eyes. So much happend in the past six stages I just got so emotional. First time for an anime tbh.

The philosophy behind it was amazing and simple at the same time.

spoliers ahead

-----------------------------------------

The scene that was appearing threw the fifth stage was when the older chubby guy who was driving an GT-R (if I remember correctly) asked Keisuke, Ryosuke and Takumi why they race. Tbh I can't remember what Takumi said (Ik he's a main character and all that jazz, oh well). Keisuke answered bc it is a proof he's a masohist (I cracked up at that). And Ryosuke said a dream. I was confused at what he meant by that, but after the whole suicide thing I figured out the meaning by the Project D name before he said it himself hehe

I remember I tried to guess what does D stand for. For example: drift, destination... And when I got it I was like "Gotcha bish!"

-----------------------------------------

I don't know why was every one bashing the animation. I didn't even notice that much of a difference between third- fourth and fifth-finale stage. Three companies were working on initial from start till the end. Give em a break.

I also want to point out the number of outfits in the anime and the manga. It was so cool that you can see characters style evolve as they mature. Keisuke started from wearing hoodies to polo shirts so that in the fifth and finale stages he started wearing dress shirts.

The healthy rivalry between Takumi and Keisuke is the most beautiful thing people in the same team can have. They thought more of the other one then themselves. They looked up at each other. Just beautiful.

I found it really interesting bc they touched up on some problems of young adultes. Clearly the police wasn't one lmao. Iketani and Wataru were the only ones who vomplained that they don't have money. Bruh even Takumi was lucky, Bunta pulled out new engine from the hat literaly.

The moment that stayed on my mind threw the series was when Takumi in Itsuki missed summer brake and when they had to find stable jobs. I'm third year in high school and after all this corona shit I will try again to find a part-time job, so I was like I will experience that too, damn.

Btw do you think that Itsuki's life is kind of pathethic, ik it's a strong word. But like imagine having a best friend that is wunderkind for driving and their you like wuhu you can do it. Also he always blindly says that Takumi is going to win. Most of the people in the crowd analyse and study his driving and then say whose gonna win. But Itsuki all away in Gunma knows he is going to win like dude, you're just a puppy. In highschool he worked at the gas station part-time and now he just continues doing the same thing. Is his only dream to work at the gas station? Maybe he will inheriet the station idk.

*I'm not try to offend anyone who workes at a gas station or has a similar kind of job. It's hard and honest work. In an anime it's not as fascinating as pro racer ya know.

The cutest moto of the series. I cracked up every time the thrio fantastico didn't have luck in love XD

The scenes in extra stage were too much. You know what I mean ;)

Almost forgot about the music!

EUROBEAT 4LIFE!

Favourite characters

Keisuke

If you haven't already figured it out hahaha. I don't have things like a husbando or that sort of thing. He just motivates me to do more, to do better. His impulsivness reminds of my own. You can clearly see his grown a lot. He understands that his brother was there for him. And the fact that student became better than the master is just amazing to me.

Sayuki

-I'm just sad that she didn't drove

- I love that she's independant and can hold her own. Remind me of myself a little.

-great friend

-also the friendship with Shingo is a mood

Comment whose your favourite character and song, and why.

I know this is not indepth analasys. I just wanted to share my thoughts with the rest of the fandom. And for those who are thinking about picking it up, I higly recommend it if you're into jdm, tofu and young adulte stuff.

I showed my friend Keisuke. And she got interested so I showed her the Kyoko tragedy. After few days she sent me edits of initial d races and thought they were so cool. I had to simplfy car terminology for her but overall she really likes it. She doesn't know anything about cars so will see how it goes.

[whatudottu]

Okay, final part now. Links didn't work when I edited on phone for some reason so I'll just quickly finish this off on my computer.

The Autobots

The Decepticons Part 1

The Decepticons Part 2 (you are here)

Right after Dreadwing from the last post is Airachnid. A lot of people don’t like her, some don’t like her because she’s a victim of bad writing. Now, I hope that this shattered version is enough to get you not to hate her, because despite what she did and represents, I don’t have any bad blood for her.

Checking out the tfwiki (before I realised fanwiki’s didn’t have vehicles listed for alts) I believe in search for backstory, I found that canon Airachnid transformed into a stylised RAH-66 Comanche instead of Fowler’s actual vehicle and I thought; ‘no wait, this is great’. I’ve already gone into some detail about how this Shattered Glass Airachnid works, a pessimistic mentally scarred arachnicon with PTSD and Survivor’s Guilt, but with this new alt it wraps her story up in a neat little bow.

Her new alt, based on the scan she should have taken, is based on a Bell 212 helicopter, and though I have initially used a cameo pattern to reference a daddy longlegs spider, this specific model is also used as a rescue vehicle. Why does that work? MEDIC TEAM, BABY! She probably has some lime green optics? Like more yellow than green but still with green.

And after all these characters, all the way in the third post, we finally get to our doctor duo. Our CMO Knock Out and his assistant Breakdown. Seeing as I mentioned Breakdown a little bit just before (though really vaguely so I mean...) I’ll talk about what’s going on with him.

I want to make this mech afraid of the quiet. Not to say he has paranoia like his canon version, but when there isn’t any noise he begins to think, and though not much of a thinker in a literal sense, Breakdown does not like to think about all the ways things can go wrong. So to compensate, he is also a loud mech, talkative and explicitly sociable. You think canon Breakdown’s chummy with the Vehicons? Check this guy out! Teaming up with Skyquake, he helps bring up the mood of the remaining Decepticon forces. Heck, just his presence encourages mechs to ACTUALLY get check ups instead of trying to soldier on. Best boy is also best nurse.

Not that this was an intentional comparison, but like Airachnid, Breaky’s got an alt to match his personality. The nerd boys came back to me with a Roshel Senator APC, and I mean, if you ignore the who Senator part, I’m sure you see the ‘Armoured Protected Carrier’ in the title. So yes, it’s perfect for this big tiddy nurse husbando (oh god that was horrid). Maybe also his optic colour is purple.

Getting to Knock Out now, he may not seem like he’s related to the original at all from initial appearance and characterisation. Instead of running his mouth like the suave flirt that canon Doc Knock is, SG!Doctor KO is rather silent, and far more in the brooding sense.

Decorated in scars; the ones I’ve settled on in a chassis gouge, a soldering scar on the faceplate, a scrape on his door and a mark on the back reminiscent of missing wing struts (oh yes I’m going down this route), Knock Out celebrates his appearance unlike other shattered alternates by caring about his appearance in a more... battletorn way. He has a name and face for every scar (but I don’t aside from definitely Ratchet and a debated between Wheeljack and Breakdown for some funky angst) and the only real time he speaks more than a few words is when he retells the tales of how he got his injuries... but he’s a little morbid to sorta reference his canon sadism so no little kids are allowed to listen in.

Despite still being an automobile enthusiast, he’s has too many looks when ‘disguised’ as an Aston Martin, so to compensate, he’s now a 1999 Honda Civic. Also, that’s what I mean by chassis gouge, just visualise the other scars haha.

imagine being such a dunce you delete what you wrote for knock out just as you were about to copy and paste it in haha

Because I don’t have an image for the Vehicons, I’m focusing on the Insecticons here instead. I’ve mentioned it once before but Airachnid isn’t the queen of the Insecticons, which happens because idk funky processor stuff I have the big fear of external content.

So, I needed to look for a horned beetle, and a beetle I found in the Hercules Beetle. Though still containing some of that Insecticon brown, I think the white-ish... elytron? The wing covers I guess.

Before I move onto Vehicons (‘Vehicon lives matter!’ You cry) I’ll talk a bit about the Predacons. Predaking, if given love and affection, is total baby. Predaking, if given the command to defend against the Autobots, would defend with dentae and claws.

With a mix? You get Merry Madness. Yes I am using Dead Sound to reference these ancient boys. Yes I am using this as an excuse to share my love of Dead Sound animations. So as a neat little twist, to show that Predacons are both the spark of hope and dangerous beasts, I wanna keep the browns and yellows and mix it with the purple. Hey! I think it’s a cool idea!

Vehicon time! There’s a little less colour variety in the Decepticons than the Autobots, but the Vehicons have turned themselves into a rainbow of a force. Sure, they might have originally been one colour scheme (red and black for general forces, white and gold for specialists) but now they have a myriad of different choices.

Some are one colour, some have two, others three. Some focus on patterns, others on flats and quite a few on lustre. Though they don’t have an unlimited amount of paint, the dwindling forces has allowed Vehicons to become whoever they want and Megatron can’t recommend it enough.

In contrast, Makeshift did his best to be the least stand-offish colour in the group. Before his untimely demise on his infiltration mission, the brief moments he was in his base form, he was adorned with the goldish finish of the Autotroopers.

May his spark rest in peace.

may my hands rest in peace jeez!

[bugbreach]

The Bad Batch

I have slept. Now let's talk about Crosshair

I can dislike/like characters and still be objective.

Like Omega - absolutely hate her, but she is a fantastic character.

Crosshair is appearently fandom favorite tumblr hot man and

while i can accept that, or just don't care, he is not conventionally hot. Said it before. You can think him hot, but don't act like he is when he looks like a dEFLATED TAMPON!

AND I AM allowed to say this, cause i simp for water corpses from Necromorphs to Sander Cohen.

But what REAAAALLy grinds my gears, is people appearently denying the whole entire plot twist????

And i tagged this as spoiler but again SPOILER WARNING

WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS???????????

And yes, this is about the chip. OKAY?

It got confirmed and stated by Crosshair himself that he got no chip.

IT IS CANON. And again, i am not in the fandom and do not care.

I am only writing this, because I do love me a well written villain and the plot twist was a fantastic thing.

And here is the thing.

The fact that Crosshair did all the evil stuff, and support the empire because HE JUST DOES THAT isn't weird or anything. It is great and adds so much to the character when compared to the other clones that are being controlled or broken free and show how they are truly against the new rules and orders.

Crosshair being a bad guy shows, that clones have the ability to make their own decisions despite being clones.

Him joining the bad side (even though i believe that he will get some kinda redemtion arc or whatever if there's coming another season, but whatever) is not a thing of "No, why would he??? why would anyone-" People join the empire. There are a bunch of people in the empire, so it's not unheard of. Since crosshair is just another dude, why wouldn't he have the ability do be like "ah yeah, fuck it, we go empi"

The people who simp for crosshair and aggressively deny the chip being removed (WHICH AGAIN, canon on SO many levels) are either HOPEFULLY trolling.

Cause otherwise it comes across like the exact same people who can never own up to their bs and blame it on whatever.

Crosshair has proven that he is a great shooter. We know that. If he was evil because of the chip, he would have killed the others a long time ago. But he didn't. Cause he can make his own decisions and rather tried to convince them to join the empire cause that's what he chose for himself.

He is a bad dude. He ordered to kill children and yall just aint ready to accept that you are simping for the villain.

Personally, I can respect it so much more that he is straight up an ass and would've screamed if they pulled a "oh no, it's not his fault, he can't control it".

LET VILLAINS BE EVIL! Sure, tragic backstories can be good, but you gotta appreciate the EVIL evil. Some people are just shit and that's it! Imagine how boring it would be if EVERY DAMN VILLAIN ALWAYS had an excuse. All the villains would be misunderstood babies blablabala BORING.

With Crosshair, we have a guy who saw the world change and took the side he found more profitable to be on. It's a smart move considering the circumstances.

You can simp all you want, but stop denying that crosshair is a bad guy. Especially since he CLEARLY has morals, otherwise the others would be dead. He makes mistakes that are unexcusable. Take your husbando the way he is ffs

sincerely, someone who simps for Villains, is aware and doesn't deny that they are fucking trash.

Cartoon Husbandos

We’ve talked about anime multiple times on this site but never really brought up the idea of cartoons. I only have three main ones that make up the bulk of my personality but it doesn’t meant that I love them any less. Often times I get distracted by just the slightest bit of information about them and hyperfocus on that (my best friend\younger brother @morphinggamer02​ loves to tease me about one of these options). 

Let’s flashback to when I was the age of nine. When I was nine I came across a show that would change my life. My fourth grade teacher was to this day one of the most inspirational teachers to who I am as a person and how I interact with others. When she had to teach us geography she brought something that would turn my world upside down.

That’s right, my first cartoon crush that I really remember was the older brother of the Warner siblings, Yakko Warner. He was truly the “first” goofball that I remember looking at and thinking to myself that’s what I wanted. Somebody with the ability to make me laugh until my sides were aching. I always thought that there was more to him than meets the eye. Yeah he was a flirt but he was also a lot of other things as well. He was a protective older brother, a bit of a loudmouth, a knowitall, loyal and a natural optimist. All throughout my time in the fourth grade he helped me. He helped me learn that spitting knowledge and researching the things that I was interested in. It was due to him that I felt not as alone anymore. I was shy and for some reason he spoke to me on a very personal level. I loved his goofy personality even though he could be serious when he wanted to. I even made my own character, a tomboy rabbit to pair up with him. I think that was the first OC I ever really made. I made friends in that class that were a lot like me and were drawn (no pun intended) to the Warner siblings and indulged me and my rambling about Yakko. It’s hard to explain what he means to me now but I think when you really get down to it he was the first cartoon character I ever fell in love with. Even if I was only nine rewatching the show I still love him just as much as I did when I was a little girl.

I rewatched a lot of childhood cartoons for a long time but once I got Disney+ I got to watch some of their newer shows. The first one that I officially finished was Star Vs The Forces Of Evil. Say what you will about the ending but my favorite character from the show is one that stole my heart, Tom Lucitor. 

I love this sweet, goofball, gothic cutie so much!! In my opinion he had some of the best development in the entire show and was the only one who actually experienced a change for the better. At first like a good majority of the audience I wasn’t a huge fan of Tom. He was annoying and I felt like he could have been done a lot better. What I wasn’t expecting was for the creators to actually make him better. He got over his anger issues and stopped holding Star up on a pedestal because it wasn’t doing either of them any favors. To me, Tom was just really freaking adorable. From his love of animals to the way that he eventually came to forgive his friends for something that they hadn’t meant to happen. I feel like how he reacts when he finds out that Star and Marco kissed in the magical photo booth is essential to how much he has grown as a character. He doesn’t scream, yell or even really get angry. He’s just hurt which is an appropriate reaction for somebody who finds out that the person they love cheated on them. Tom eventually became the thing that kept me from dropping the show in it’s last season. I thought that he was one of the few things that the show eventually came to achieve. The development of a villain into a lovable character that rivaled my love and adoration for Prince Zuko in Avatar The Last Airbender. 

My most recent cartoon love of my life is from a show that I have yet to finish. I am only on the first season of it so far because I got a little bit busy with Plunderer and Dr Stone. I do intend on finishing it before I start community college again in a few weeks. Let’s discuss Legend Of Korra for a hot minute okay? Most of you that know me know that I have a soft spot for this little guy

But I desperately want to talk about his owner Bolin 

Aka this lovable goofball. If we’re looking for a precise moment when I was like holy shit new cartoon husband it was when he was trying to communicate with Pabu to get him to untie the ropes that were holding him, Korra and Mako together. The reason that he is here and not Sokka is kind of simple. I loved Sokka with Suki a little bit too much to want to consider him a husbando. There was something about Bolin that I just found more lovable and cute. Even if Avatar is judgmentally a better show I won’t fight anybody on that this one has a “better” goofball character in my personal opinion. He wormed his way into my heart and there was something special about the way that he interacted off the rest of team Avatar in this show. I will do a separate analysis of him most likely once I finish the show but that doesn’t mean that I love him any less. 

(Plus can we just talk about how amazing this poster looks??? Look at my baby!! I didn’t even realize that Wakko was holding a sandwich until my friend mentioned it to me lmao I was too distracted by Yakko it happens to the best of us)

[ikeservant]

Hey hey hey !! I just found your HC about how the warlords would react to MC who loves anime and otome games, so can I ask for part 2 with Masamune, Nobunaga and Sasuke ? Thank you very much, it was so fun to read !! It really made me excited and put a smile on my face lol so thank you again. Have a good day ~

Ahh yay I’m glad you liked that HC and it was so fun to make it so I’m more than happy to do a part 2 （ﾉ｡≧◇≦）ﾉ

Part 1 link here: https://ikeservant.tumblr.com/post/618789196785696768/hello-hope-you-are-doing-well-can-i-ask-for-hc

Masamune: When MC returned to her room first day of being in Azuichi, she did NOT expect Masamune to be in there, flipping through her sketchbook. However, instead of clothing or fashion, they were all fanarts of anime and otome boys. “These are some interesting abstract portraits, lass. Who are all these men? All your suitors?” “Pfft I wish. They’re actually all fictional. Where I come from we illustrate a lot of stories and characters and these are my favorite characters that are best bois in my heart.” Masamune loves learning new things so he’s super intrigued and entertained by MC’s explanations of anime, otome, and how people in the future thirst over 2D men. He rips out one of MC’s pages that had a drawing of an otome man with brown hair, swords, and an eyepatch bc it looks A LOT like him (coincidence? I think not) and keeps it. Finds it entertaining when MC gushes about a certain anime plot but will swoop in for a makeout session if she starts gushing about fictional men “Why I can do all those things those fictional guys do AND literally sweep you off your feet, kitten.” If MC brought back anime/manga, he would LOVE action/fighting anime. Also lowkey guilty pleasures in cooking anime like Food Wars.

Nobunaga: When MC was proving she was from the future and dumped out all of her purse contents, he did not expect to see illustrated men on keychains and attached to her wallet and purse. “Are these talisman from the future?” “Oh no! They’re my best bois. In the future we have illustrated stories that sometimes get illustrated or go to game format for you to interact with characters. These characters are top tier.” “So you worship fictional men?” “Ya”. Devil man immediately had an idea. Snagging up the limited item keychains of her husbandos, he challenged MC to Go. “If you beat me, you’ll get your ‘best bois’ back. If not, I’ll claim a body part every time you lose.” MC didn’t even hear the first part bc she was DETERMINED to save her husbando keepsakes. Normal MC lost quite a bit, but otaku MC fueled by her rage and passion overthrew the Go king, impressing Nobunaga for her wit and obsession over fictional men. As they grow closer he’d love to hear her tell him stories before bed about anime plots. Gets a lil jealous that a fictional character can conquer MC’s thoughts more than he can, but he can work on that 😉. If MC brought back anime/manga, he’d love plots with strategy and action , usually revolved around war. Likes it when underdog characters use their wit and abilities to become the strongest.

Sasuke: Two birds of a feather flock together. As soon as he saw MC whip out her anime and otome merch his heart immediately got pierced by the love arrow. What are the chances that a fellow otaku would be launched in the past with him? He’d recognize quite a few of the anime characters but would have to be schooled by MC about the otome characters. Would have fun labeling the warlords as character archetypes, confusing the heck out of them. “Yandere better mean a powerful war god from where you’re from or I’ll kill you, Sasuke.” Both would tease Yukimura for being a tsundere even though he doesn’t know what that means. Sasuke and MC would make dorky anime references to eachother and be so in sync with their nerd levels oh my goodness. “You’re the Winry to my Edward Elric.” “You’re the Vegeta to my Bulma.” “You’re the Kagome to my Inuyasha.” “You’re the Sasuke to my MC.” *gasp* “what the HELL is this dinner conversation?!” Yukimura and Kenshin would probably be thinking/saying in unison.

Fire Force: 1st thoughts/impression

Okay so I’ve been hearing some murmurs about this anime for a while but because I weird I move slow when it comes to new anime for some reason, mainly because I want something to binge. But since getting Hulu recently I’ve been watching a lot of nostalgic shows (Digimon s1-3 and Yuyu Hakusho along with some old school nickelodeon and cartooonnetwork shows) but I’ve decided to finally get around to watching something new for a change. I’m not done with season 1 (episode 12)yet so I’m just going to give some 1st impressions on a few characters. Just some general thoughts, I’m sure overall feelings will change as i finish what’s currently out so don’t get bent outta shape if I don’t like someone or mention someone. Also be respectful if you’re a manga reader.

World building: The whole people turning into infernals at the drop of a dime and killing other people and the rest of humanity seems to have all been clustered in some small ass piece of japan lowkey put me in the mind of AOT (humanity being behind walls, the monster being humans all along type shit) I went into this thinking the protagonist is some sort of form of internal with that logic.

Shinra: Sharp teeth. I’m not into the whole teeth thing (Rin from Free, Soul from Soul Eater, Kirishima are swell in their own way but i was never a fan of their teeth) I like his little ‘smile in tense situation quirk because bless his heart i know when he’s nervous or tense about something. He’s a good kid all the same and he lowkey gave me Izuku vibes because they want to be a hero but he also gives me Rin (Blue Exorcist) vibes because he gets a bad rep and being called Devil even though he’s really sweet and has a good character. Seeing him in action I can’t help but think how would he do in the my hero universe (he’d kick so much ass) Has a typical shonen protag tragic backstory about his mother and brother and so has a reason to be in the fire force, I like the drive to be a hero from that kid dream he had, I look forward to him finding the answers he seeks while also not looking forward to seeing him fight his kid brother (I fucking swear if he has to kill his own brother I will fucking scream)

Akitaru: Oh my god fucking hot, fucking cute that's my husbando right there. When he called Shinra’s smiling quirk cute I fucking melted. The Dad (and daddy) of this squad I see him looking out for the other and providing a solid foundation of justice. a swell guy that has the whole groups trust and respect and I just hope nothing happens to this man. When Joker gave Shinra a reason to doubt the fire force i was a little nervous but so far so good team 8 seems to have been formed for a specific reason bc the other teams are lowkey shady.

Hinawa: stereotypical glasses character, annoyingly strict, and give the mc a hard time. In comparison to captain he annoyed me, by putting down my boy Shinra without giving him a real chance, (it wasn’t Nighteye lvl of annoying  but still) but overtime I’ve warned up to him, I tend to like the glasses characters too (Kyoya...I blame Kyoya) so by this point I see he’s a caring individual in his own way, what sold me is when he pulls Shinra aside to check on him and ask if he was ok...also mans can cook so bonus.

Maki: Mikasa vibes, just a woman with some muscle but she seems very insecure about it. I like she’s such a romantic maiden at heart though. I like her Sputter flames, so cute it made me think of calsifer from Howl’s moving castle.

Iris: I took one look at her and went: a sister. oh fuck religion is going to be a big influence in this show. Ignoring my own personal bias feelings of religion it seems she serves the purpose of praying for the souls of those who turned nothing too special about her, she’s sweet even though she has her tragic backstory with everyone but her and Hibana watched the whole damn church burn. 

Arthur: Annoying. I thought he was gonna be some sort of edgy rival for Shinra since they seem to fight on sight. However he’s kinda this cute idiot. But his knight at the round table schtick is kinda aggy he reminds me of that one classmate in my class that took Shakespeare too seriously. Maybe he’ll warm up on me later he has got to be more than the idiot blond (maybe at some point they’ll drop a back story on him)

Tamaki: Adorable, her powers make her look like a twin tailed cat (I not sure but I think there is like fire yokai so it works for the fire theme of this show) and I love cats so she's adorable. However this trend of her being clumsy af all of a sudden and becoming undressed and/or being groped or touched by Shinra accidentally only for her to hit the hell out of him is a trope i kinda want to die already like it’s not even funny. I’m an elder weeb so i’m not new to this but idk if it just my old age but I’m kinda over it. So even though I found her so cute earlier she’s almost annoying me even though its not her fault its the creator. 

Hibana: Bad bitch, she had dudes as her chair and had dudes lined at her feet like a red (in this case orange) carpet. Love seeing a black woman thrive (she’s brown skinned or whatever so I’m claiming her as black until further notice).Stunning, only I hate the oddly shaped eyes (it works given her power is flowers and her eyes are in a shape of a flower) but it was jarring to see it. It reminded me of Nia teppelin (Gugrren laggan) did she make me wanna stomp her for messing with my boy Shinra? yes. But I kept wondering why was I so awed by her I looked up her VA and it made sense, fucking Riza Hawkeye and Erza Scarlett (I am watching it dubbed, blame Hulu for not letting me have an option for sub but its whatever I’m committing to the dub for now) and well I respected her more. Also love how she wasn’t actually into that religion stuff even though she was taken in by the sisters. Now her moment with Iris after she got her shit rocked, sweet, adorable, so cute. Also her sudden affections for Shinra going forward is cute not sure if I ship anyone at this point but adorable is adorable I can not deny that.

Rekka: My stars that annoying. I also cringed because it reminded me of (yagamiyato’siida if you know then you know) And again with the weird ass eyes its not missed on mean that Hoshi is means star and its a part of his surname. But he went from 0-100 real quick once I realized he’s who Shinra is looking for and once again  me being wary over religion is validated through the white coats or Evangelist running around turning people into infernals on purpose (once again we back on some AOT shit) this man is bat shit crazy but he somewhat succeeded I wonder what it means for that kid who happened to be compatible with that bug thing (and of course Shinra is special bc the bug reacted to his fire) anyway what I learned from this character than religion got this universe all the way fucked up and the direct result of this is that religion has a firm hold in government and I know this is not finna be good.

A Life With Imperatore

I wanted to give Diavolo lovers/fuckers a happier ending. <3 I hope this helps soothe any broken hearts. This is part 1 of 2 (maybe 3?). [Please excuse my poor theory behind GER.]

Read this on A03 here!

Reader x Diavolo 

------

The screen before you shows a happy ending. The good guys won and Italy is safely in the hands of Giorno and Mista. You turn off the TV, but that ending didn’t leave you feeling happy. You’re filled with anxiety and dread over the way your favorite died… is still dying? Constantly? It’s heart-wrenching to see your favorite character die, but to see it in multiples is torture. 

“Thanks, Araki!” you sarcastically mutter as you walk into the kitchen for a snack. 

You glance out of the window to the back yard and see someone laying face down in the grass. Your heart pounds, flooding your veins with panic. Not because how the fuck did someone get into my back yard? But because you recognize him. Purple pants, pink spotted hair, and the tattoos on his arms that’s...

“What the actual fuck?” A cosplayer snuck into your backyard?

Before venturing outside, you grab the bat that you keep by the front door for self defense. Luckily, it’s never been used like that. 

You call out to the man but there’s no response. Nudging him with the bat warrants no response. You can’t help but to look at the muscular body before you and feel something… He does look like your husbando after all. Bending down, you turn him onto his back. You let out a shriek when he’s on his back and you see he looks exactly like Diavolo… You study the person before you. He’s breathing even if barely. 

Just leaving him out here isn’t an option. After thinking for a minute, you run inside of the house and grab a spare comforter. Once back outside, you lay it out next to him. “Sorry.” You plead as you roll him back onto his front onto the comforter then roll him over one more time so he’s in the center of it. With all your might (thank god you recently started going to the gym again), you drag him into the house. Once in the living room, you collapse, sitting next to him and catch your breath. You keep the bat close by you just in case. 

A bit of pink hair is out of place so you reach to move it, as you brush the strand from his forehead, you chuckle to yourself. The popular phrase comes to mind “kono Diavolo da” because after all “this is Diavolo!” You stop yourself… is it though? Is it really? 

As you stand to get a bottle of water, you think of how Gold Experience Requiem works as you understand it… If Gold Experience Requiem prevents Diavolo from reaching his end it could be taking him to alternate universes at each moment of death. That though sends a pang to your heart- all of his deaths. You take a bottle of water from the fridge. Thinking better of it, you grab an extra one. 

You sit down next to the man on the floor. If there is an infinite number of alternate universes then Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is as real as our universe. If our perception of that universe as an anime or manga is two dimensional then maybe bringing Diavolo into our three dimensional universe breaks Gold Experience Requiem’s loop? It barely makes sense in your head but it’s all you can come up with if this in fact is Diavolo.

Looking at the handsome man again. You swallow hard… how many times have you thought of kissing those lips… how many times have you thought of… you let your eyes trail down his body. You shudder at the inappropriate thought. You reach again to move hair from his face when his eyes flutter open. He starts breathing heavy, his brow furrows, his inhuman green eyes fix on you and he lets out a whimper. He curls into a defensive ball and starts babbling in Italian. 

Fuuuuuck! It is him, but he’s pretty fucked up. You know better than to try to touch him. 

“English?” You say, “do you speak English?” 

He doesn’t respond to you, he continues to babble. You hope he understands, “I’m not going to hurt you. You’re safe here.” 

He looks at you through his hands, “Safe? Nowhere is safe.” He nearly pleads. His Italian accent is thick but you can understand him well enough. 

You want to tell him that you understand what he’s been through… but knowing Diavolo, that is the opposite of comforting. Instead, you sit with him. From what you have seen, death comes for him within minutes. If you can out wait that, maybe he’ll calm down. You can see his mind racing from the continuous torture that he’s been through. He’s exhausted and an absolute emotional mess. He needs time… which is ironic seeing how he’s always ran from time. 

You decide to take the same approach as you would a feral kitten- let them come to you. Stay calm, quiet and be patient. Placing the bottle of water in front of him, you assure him again that you won’t hurt him. You sit back and get out your phone. You open Spotify and find a Frank Sinatra playlist. That’s what a mob boss listens to right? Besides, you don’t want to freak him out with music from the future, but you try not to think about that. 

Absentmindedly, you softly sing some of the songs, as you sit and you wait. About the 5th song in, you see him relax. He moves his hands from his face and he looks at you, he studies you. 

You smile kindly. “Do you like this song? It’s one of my favorites.”  

Although you’re excited out of your mind that your favorite is in front of you, you play it cool as best you can. You drink from your bottle of water and gesture to his. Tentatively, he grabs for it, but he falls short. He tries again and reaches too far and knocks it over. He sits up and tries to take hold of it since it’s on the floor but he misses a few more times. You look at his face and don’t see a man. You see a boy who’s tired, scared and frustrated. You think of Doppio for a moment and feel another deep pain in your heart. You see tears starting to form in his eyes. In an instant the boy is gone and he looks at you with rage in his eyes, as he furiously yells at you in Italian. Although you can’t understand, you assume he’s accusing you of something with the way he’s gesturing. You look at him and put your hands up. “English please, Signore.” 

He blinks at the title and starts over, he takes a moment to recall what he’s learned. His thick accent only makes his voice even more alluring. “What have you done to me?” 

You chose your words carefully and try to speak clearly, “I haven’t done anything to you. I found you outside, you were passed out and I brought you into my house.” 

Diavolo looks at you unbelieving but not untrusting. He looks around at his surroundings then back at you. He tries again for the bottle of water and grasps it. Holding the bottle in front of him, you can see how shaky his hands are. It takes a few attempts, but he manages to get the cap off. He looks at you then back to the bottle as he tries to drink from it. His shaky hand stops short and he spills water onto his lap. He hisses something under his breath in Italian and you assume it’s a swear. 

You fetch a towel for him to clean up with. You reach out to hand it to him and he can’t quite seem to grab it from you. Instead, you take hold of his hand and put it into his palm. He clumsily dabs at himself while you go to the kitchen and return with a straw. Taking hold of the hand with the water bottle, you place the straw in it then sit down a few feet in front of him. 

Awkwardly, you start some small talk. Since you know he’s so uptight about giving details about himself, you tell him about yourself. You try to earn his trust by trusting in him. After an hour of sitting on the floor and talking your stomach grumbles. 

“I’m getting hungry, would you like to eat something?” You ask as you stand. Who knows how long it’s been since the last time the poor guy ate! 

He just nods and attempts to stand. He nearly falls over, but you catch him and help him to his feet. 

“Do you want to just stay here?” The concern is obvious in your voice, but you don’t try to hide it from him either.

Diavolo actually seems to blush, “I don’t want to be alone.” With his arm around your neck and you’re arm around his waist, you help him into a chair at the kitchen table. You place a new water bottle in front of him, but this time you put a straw in it right away to make things easier for him. 

Your one sided conversation picks up again, but he’s more attentive this time and asks questions and comments. Once dinner is ready, you sit a plate and utensils in front of him. He has the same struggle with his fork and his food that he had earlier. 

Without asking, you sit next to him and cut his food and offer it to him. You know if you offered to help like this, he would just turn you down. He’s a proud man who’s had his ego nearly demolished. He accepts your actions and eats with your assistance. You talk more and you can see by the time he asks for seconds that he’s feeling better. 

When you’re both done eating, you place the dishes in the sink. Right now, Diavolo is your concern, you can worry about dirty dishes later. You help your guest to the couch and you sit and talk with him more. The more you talk the more he opens up. By now, he shares little stories or small pieces of his life. You both lose track of time and it’s late before you know it. 

Diavolo said he’d sleep on the couch, but you insist he sleeps in the bed with you. You can tell by the dejected way he made the offered that he honestly does not want to be alone. This is made even more apparent by his insistence to accompany you to make sure all the doors and windows are closed for the night. There’s that Diavolo paranoia that you know so well. 

You help him to sit on the bed. Rummaging through your drawers, you find something comfortable he can sleep in. An ex boyfriend's t-shirt and basketball shorts is all you can manage. You place the items next to him and remove yourself to the bathroom to change yourself. 

Upon returning, Diavolo sits on the bed, shorts/t-shirt in hand with a dejected, pleading look on his face. Getting his bearings here is really straining on him. He went from being an Imperatore in his own eyes to being unable to dress himself or even feed himself. He doesn’t even need to ask for your help. You won’t put him through that. You know there’s nothing wrong with needing help, but if he asked for it, it would be another blow to his already shattered ego. 

With a kind smile, you take the shorts from him. You stay as focused and as platonic as possible as you unbutton his pants. Pull them off of his hips and down his legs, you can feel your face hot as you’re probably blushing against your will. You remove his shoes, pants, and help him step into the shorts. You look up at him as you pull the shorts onto him and he’s blushing as much as you are. You see shame in his eyes. Once so proud, he hates having someone take care of him like this. Once so proud, he hates having someone take care of him, especially like this. In his adult life, he had acquired an incredible social status and influence. He had worked so hard to build his life, but that is all gone now. 

With the shorts pulled up to his thighs, you help him stand and you put them over his hips. Once he’s seated again, you put the shirt on him and adjust the shoulders to sit properly on his muscular form. Your hands rest here and you smile shyly at him. He looks up at you with gratitude tinted with shame. 

You swallow hard and tell him, “It’s alright. I’m going to take care of you. I’ll make sure you’re okay.” You help him into bed. Turning off the light, you hear Diavolo gasp at the darkness. You flip the light on again. “Are you ok?”

“Yes.” he says automatically, but you realize, he’s probably seen a lot of “darkness” lately. Turning on the bathroom light and closing the door over seems like a good enough compromise. A small beam of light streams into the bedroom and Diavolo is calmed enough. 

Walk to the other side of the bed, you get in. You can’t help but feel your heart pound in your chest having this handsome man so close to you in your bed. You smile to yourself but you know nothing can come of it. He’s far too delicate at the moment. You lay there trying to calm the thoughts in your mind to welcome sleep when Diavolo speaks up. 

“Cara?” 

“Hmmm?” You reply sleepily. Turning to him, you see he’s sitting up and looking at you. His green eyes seem to glow in the dim light. 

“Is this okay?” He gently moves your arm as he lays against you with his head on your chest. 

“Of course!” You reply trying not to sound excited. You try to will the pounding in your heart to soften but you know it’s no good. 

He rests his arm around your waist and your hand meets his bicep and you let your thumb rub circles into it. 

“I’m sorry. I just feel so alone.” As he speaks these words, your thoughts go to precious Doppio and that sting of pain stabs your heart again. You hold back the tears that want to weld up in your eyes. 

Trying to keep the shakiness from your voice, you reply, “Don’t worry. You’re not alone.”

kakashi for the ask game! :D

Oh this is gonna be dangerous xD (and also really fucking long I’m so sorry lmfao)

send me a character and i’ll list...

favorite thing about them It’s so hard to pick, but I think his resilience. Kakashi has genuinely been through hell and back and yet he keeps going. His character development in Naruto is one of my absolute favorite things, the way he starts out as this seemingly apathetic but deep down very guarded character who ultimately grows to love his students and make peace with his past and finally find some happiness. He’s the man who lost everything and still keeps going and maybe it’s just because I, too, am a depressed bitch but that’s always bee super comforting to me and felt very reassuring. Like if Kakashi can hit rock bottom but pull himself up out of that pit and find happiness and success, then so can I.

least favorite thing about them I don’t even know if I have a least favorite thing about him. I honestly love everything about him. I guess the closest thing I can get to a least favorite thing would be that I wish we saw more of him goofing off and having tons of fun like when he and Guy raced in Shippuden. Hearing Kakashi laugh and joke around was just so good for my soul.

favorite line Oh no there are so many, I can’t pick just one. My favorite contenders are: “Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: One Thousand Years of Death!” “Behind this mask...is another mask! Pretty cool, huh?” “I’m telling you this because you don’t get it. You think you get it which is not the same as actually getting it, get it?” “Those who break the rules are scum but those who would abandon a comrade are worse than scum” “I won’t allow my comrades to die. I’ll protect you with my life. Trust me.” “It’s like an acorn.” “Sorry I’m late, I’m afraid I got lost on the path of life.” “Sorry I’m late, a black cat crossed my path and I had to take the long way around.” “For those who follow the path of revenge, it never ends well. You’ll only tear yourself apart and even if you succeed and you get your revenge, what will you get then? Nothing. Emptiness.” “So it looks like neither of us have led a charmed life exactly. But still, we’re not all that bad off. At least you and I have found new comrades to help fill the void.” “Calm down, Naruto. Slow your breathing down” (mainly because this scene just gets me every time as someone who has had severe panic attacks for twenty years lmfao) There was also another “sorry I’m late” excuse that I don’t remember exactly and cannot for the life of me find but it was from a picture I saw somewhere, looked like it was maybe from a video game? Where Kakashi said something to genin Naruto and Sakura about the path of love or something? And they’re staring at him flustered pointing insisting “That’s...a lie!” Like I can recall the image clear as day in my head but I cannot for the life of me find it.

brOTP Hands down Guy. I mean, I ship them, too, but I just really love their friendship especially. Guy just really brings out the best in him and provides this really nice foil to Kakashi’s personality. I genuinely think Kakashi would’ve been done for if not for Guy’s loyalty and optimism. Their friendship is so fun and the two of them together never fail to make me smile.

OTP Does my KakashixOC ship count? Because if it does, then that’s my OTP. I have spent way too much time and energy on their relationship for it to not be. That probably sounds super cliche and maybe a little Mary-Sue-ish but I don’t even care, Rei and Kakashi are my magnus opum and I love them. I’m also just really, really proud of the way I’ve written their relationship. So much of their bond is informed by my own relationship with my fiance, and I think my own experiences have really evolved my understanding of what real intimacy in a romantic relationship looks like. It’s not so much about flowers and chocolates and date nights as it is about caring for and comforting the person you love, spending quality time with them, making them laugh and smile, being 110% yourself around them, and providing for them in their times of need. I have never written a relationship so real and specifically raw before, and there’s a lot of intricacies that I’ve worked in as well, that just overall make me incredibly proud of the progress I’ve made on their story, and proud of the story I’ve been creating for them in general. But if an OC ship doesn’t count for OTP, I really like Kakashi with Shizune, Guy, Yamato/Tenzo, and Iruka.

nOTP Oh god I have quite a few. I really don’t enjoy focusing on negatives nor do I want to start ship wars so I’ll keep these explanations brief. I can’t stand Kakashi and Sakura, the mere thought of it makes me *this close* to puking. I take big issue with ships in general between characters that met when one of them was a child and the other an adult, though. It just comes off incredibly pedophilic to me and makes me nauseous. The other big ship I take issue with is Kakashi and Rin but that’s more of a personal issue because their relationship, and Rin’s character in general, hit way too close to home (in a very warped and psychotically symbolic way) to some really traumatic stuff I dealt with in the past that took me years and lots of therapy to deal with, and it still trips me up to this day. It’s not anything that anyone in fandom has done or anyone who ships Kakashi and Rin with each other, it’s just a matter of me noticing parallels between the ship and my own trauma that make it incedibly hard for to tolerate content of it. Just to tack these on, as well, but I also really dislike him with Hanare from the filler episode and with Kahyo from the book Lightning in the Icy Sky. The romance with Hanare just felt really disingenuous to me like I can tolerate it, but it’s not my favorite. And as for Kahyo, I blame bad writing. The fact that the book was referring to her as “the woman who has Kakashi’s heart” literally within like two pages of them meeting really pissed me off. I couldn’t even finish the book so I can’t even speak on the rest of the relationship but I just got so turned off by the entire story in general because the romance was so unbelievable and abrupt. I feel like anyone who has read my fic, though, likely has picked up on my opinions on these, though. Not that I’m writing ship hate or anything because I’m not, but there have been little plot points here and there that have kind of touched on my feelings on these ships.  

random headcanon I have way too many but here’s one of them, I guess, though this is more a musing than a headcanon. I think, when the war is over and Kakashi can finally catch his breath, he goes through a bit of an identity crisis as he comes to terms with the fact that he no longer has his sharingan. After all, he had Obito’s eye for almost twenty years. Learning to function without it is going to be incredibly difficult but not only that, so much of his identity was founded on his secondhand sharingan. Who even is he without it? Does he even recognize himself anymore? And how can he ever live up to the reputation he’s garnered over so many years now that the source of all of his power is gone for good? Yes, he was a prodigy before the sharingan and he is still capable without it, but it’s going to be a big change and take a huge toll on him and his perception of himself.

unpopular opinion I’m glad Kakashi has never been given an explicitly canon love interest. Honestly, I don’t want him to have one. As much as he deserves to find love and start a family with someone, from a fandom perspective I much prefer him being open and available. It creates a much more flexible interpretation of him and his love life so that we, the fans, can write him however we damn well please and I think that’s pretty fantastic. I think it’s safe to say that Kakashi is one of if not the most heavily shipped character in the fandom and everyone has very strong opinions on who he belongs with and even how he idenifies from a sexuality perspective. I can only imagine the uproar that would come from finally giving him a canon love interest because you absolutely cannot please everyone. In a way, I feel like Kakashi is just a character who belongs to all of us. He is something different for every single person in fandom whether that’s someone to look up to and seek guidance from, someone to protect and root for, someone to relate to and find comfort in, someone to love and/or lust after. Or in my case a precious emotional support ninja husbando. I don’t know if he would’ve had quite the same effect on fandom if he had been canonically shipped with someone from the get-go, but I’m grateful that he never was and I hope he never will be so he can continue playing the role in fandom that he has been for so many years. That probably sounds selfish, though, but I just really want him to remain a character that belongs to all of us and is not inhibited by canon in terms of who he loves and how he identifies.

song i associate with them Again, there’s so fucking many so I’m just gonna list some of my favorites. Sign by Flow Friendships by Pascal Letoublon Hospital for Souls by Bring Me the Horizon SCARECROW by My Chemical Romance Disguise by Motionless in White-- this is a big one, especially the line “sick of wearing a mask, sick of hiding my face, sick of every motherfucker that is in my way, sick of digging for answers while you bury the truth, fuck your method to my sadness, I will bury you” like it just reminds me of ANBU Kakashi specifically, but overall his character development in coming to terms with his past and crawling out of his depression, too.

favorite picture of them Again...there’s multiple x_x
