[cptnghoulowl]

So, that new CSM chapter ahahaha

Yoru jumpscared me, like DAMN. This is the first time I've been properly jumpscared by a comic so well, there's that.

Look at this bitch. What is she thinking. She's unhinged, she's terrifying and there are no thoughts behind those eyes.

And don't get me started on Nayuta man, why does she have Makimas haircut 😃😃😃

I hope this is a red herring just like "Denji Spinal Cord Sword", FUCK.

[mmorw]

Hii!

Can i request Aki Hayakawa and top reader - something like, rough day and work = rough sex to make up for it

please and thank you 🙏 (heavy on the please LOL)

yes, finally the big malewife ! 🫶

cw: smut. lil fluff ig. vaginal. rough sex. womb fucking. biting. marking. from behind. unprotected. small 'public' sex. gropping. clit teasing. water sports ??

so sorry for the wait !

Even if Aki wanted to, he couldn't escape from his work so easily, nor from the little brats who followed him.

He would come home, give you the usual kiss as always and would have to endure purring in your presence once Denji and Power walked through the same door and squeal happily just to see you.

For you it was never a problem to have two more children at home, despite being a small apartment, it was very cozy and, with your presence, from one moment to another the two demons took you as an extremely important figure in their lives.

You would spoon vegetables into Power's mouth when she didn't want to eat them, stroke Denji's head and the two of you would be cuddled up next to each other on the couch watching TV.

without space for Aki.

Thanks to this, you would give all your love and trust to your partner at night when you finished tucking your brats in their beds and kissing their foreheads; you would run to your bed with Aki and fill him with kisses and caresses until his purrs were much louder than Nyako's.

Of course, sometimes your bedroom door would open wide as Denji, Power and Nyako would climb into your bed and decide to sleep with you; leaving you in a very uncomfortable state if you moved on to another level of love between the two of you and were casually caught.

Today was one of those days where the brats were calmer than usual, you had pampered them a lot by preparing delicious food and tucking them in, maybe reading them a book so they could sleep without problems once you finally went to your partner's room.

after a light "I've tucked the kids in," with as much fatherly tone as possible in your voice, Aki deigned to throw himself into your arms and snuggle there, panting warmly into your neck, the warm air making your skin cheer as you moved your hands to his waist, then backside.

You fiddled with the line between his thighs and his flat ass, feeling his legs entwine against yours and their crotches rubbing gently; Aki's half-closed eyes watching you precisely, questioning if you wanted to continue, or would it be better to go to sleep.

So there you were, you didn't waste time looking for lubricant or condoms, because the slightest squeak on the floor or furniture would attract the piranhas already considered puppies for you two to see what was going on.

Even after Aki's thousand moans telling you to go carefully, it was enough to grab him by the wrists and force him to shut up while you furiously rammed into his exposed pink core, your cock pushing its way in until he orgasmed from just stimulating his g-spot and cervix at the same time.

“you don't wanna wake up the kids,” you whispered in his ear, your hand pressing gently against his mouth as Aki leaned closer to your warmth, quiet moans coming from his lips when your sensitivity attacked his sweet spot again. “don't you?”

your hand slowly left his lips and went straight down Aki's shirt, lifting it up to squeeze his breast and fiddle with his nipple while with the other, you grabbed your partner's leg and began to increase the volume of your thrusts into his dripping cunt.

Hayakawa swallowed thickly his own screams, biting his lip and throwing his head back on your shoulder as he closed his eyes tightly, his free hands clenching the sheets as you kept pounding Aki's pussy at high speed, forcing your shaft and forcing him to feel your veins throbbing inside his cunt; needing to fill him.

“I— i'm gon-na, ! ” warm tears came to his eyes again, his very mouth trying to silence his hard attempts to moan when you got his message and went crazy with it.

you kissed and bit all the skin on his neck, murmuring disgusting things in his ear only to watch his frown and side-eye judging you; you were not taking anything seriously!

“I'll clean the sheets tomorrow, calm down.” your index finger went down to his crotch and massaged at the same volume of your thrusts his throbbing clitoris, almost hearing him scream once he deepened his grip on his mouth and snuggled his back into your chest, the growing burn in his stomach begging to come out once and for all.

your grunts were enough to alarm him and bring your face close to his, kissing messily once you gave your final thrusts when; his legs flexed and he squirted on the bed sheets stifling a moan caught on your lips, with the very warmth of your warm sperm flooding his womb as you deepened your balls to grind against his wet labia, kissing around his wet cheeks as you helped calm him after such a great orgasm.

your hands went straight to his waist to massage it, roaming freely there as you smiled in satisfaction; Aki's sweet sobbing face making you simply take it and mold it between your hands until he calmed down. listening to his soft 'I love you's' as your cock throbbed inside him, finally in release.

You two would have to clean up before you heard Denji and Power with casseroles and wooden bats open the door in search of the alleged thief "attacking" Aki. ♡

[maidoftheday]

Hello, fellow maid lovers! Today, Maid of the Day officially turns 5 years old! This blog is finally old enough to start attending school. They grow up so fast! 😭

Anyway, I sincerely appreciate every single one of you, including my followers and those of you who have taken the time to suggest and submit such wonderful maids/butlers over the past 5 years!

So to mark this anniversary, as I always do, I once again present to everyone Maid of the Day’s Top Ten Maids (based on number of notes, excluding second/third/etc. outfits):

10. Kosaki Onodera from Nisekoi 9. Keiichi Maebara from Higurashi 8. Tohru from Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon 7. Sawako Yamanaka from K-On! 6. Sakura Minamoto from Zombieland Saga 5. Laundry Dragonmaid from Yu-Gi-Oh! 4. Nyako from Nyako to Hakase 3. Kurisu Makise from Steins;Gate 2. Marie Rose from Dead or Alive 1. French Maid Roomba from The Internet

Looks like French Maid Roomba has usurped the crown from Marie Rose, who had managed to defend her title as number one maid for three years in a row! What a feat!

And as an added bonus, because they exist on this blog too, Maid of the Day’s Top Butler is Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist, who has also managed to finally unseat Charlotte Dunois from Infinite Stratos as top butler!

With all that out of the way, I have officially hit my goal of running this blog for five years. Though I have thoroughly enjoyed serving all your daily maid (and butler and shrine maiden and nurse and etc.) needs over these past five years, I think it’s finally time for me to take a step back from this blog. 

As I had mentioned previously, it has become increasingly difficult to find new maids and I just don’t have the same time and energy as before. I’m still in the process of determining whether I will stop updating this blog altogether or switch to posting on a semi-daily basis. I’d like to think the latter, but we’ll see. 

Thank you everyone for your support and for sticking it out with me all these years! Let’s see where the future takes us!

𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 (𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡)

the title is a lyric from the song 'everybody talks' by neon trees

𝗛𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘄𝗮 𝗔𝗸𝗶 𝘅 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗿! 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 (+ 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗶 & 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿)

(A/N): hello there, lovelies!

alrightie, I am... I am not going to lie, aki dragged me into this fandom as well, as I have been thinking of slowly getting more into animes, now that I feel less the social struggle of it. still, I hope you'll enjoy this silly little thing and I have another fic with neighbor! reader (an au of sorts, far angstier as it's my usual).

so, pls, if you enjoyed this, pls consider leaving a like, a comment or a reblog and I'd appreciate it a whole loooottt!

SUMMARY: «Alright… alright… let’s take this from another perspective» he started again while Power got her own drink, having Denji open it for her as it ruined the pretty nails you had painted for her«… Hayakawa is a huge pain in our ass, isn’t he».

«He is» Power relented as she duked her head low in obvious displeasure.

«… but…» and Denji held up a finger in utter conviction «… if he got laid! Then the problem would be solved! And he doesn’t seem the type to bang somebody he meets in a bar… or he’d have probably hit it off with Himeno by now… don’t you think?».

Power seemed to consider it for a moment and right when Denji thought that his partner got it, she screeched. «I don’t see how getting laid might solve it!» and after a moment of meditation «… laying down in the bed might help him but…!».

«I don’t mean laying down like that!».

what happens when a fiend and a chainsaw man gets together to make their squad leader and you, his neighbor, happy?

WARNINGS: fluff, (bad) matchmaking, denji and power playing cupid, not canon compliant (himeno doesn't have a crush on aki) and the characters might be slightly ooc, getting together, requited unrequited love, unresolved sexual and romantic tension, mentioned sexual harassment, 5+1 things, jealousy, idiots in love, reader genre is not specified but a few characters reference them being a lady.

Denji might have been considered an idiot by the large variety of the adults around him, but he did notice things.

Such as the way topknot would always be more smiley and far more relaxed whenever you – his adorable neighbor – were around the house, by now living there more than in your own apartment.

Not that he minded the thing in itself: you were kind, not focused onto hunting devils and baked him and Power a treat every weekend.

You were also pretty.

Not on Mrs. Makima’s pretty level, certainly, but Denji had stolen a look as you leaned a bit too close to Hayakawa, brushing accidentally your chest against either his own or his back and God, did the stern head of the squad blushed worse than a teen.

In conclusion, you two were in love but somehow far too stubborn to admit and this where he and Power came to play:

«Think about it!» he muttered as he Power were outside for their patrol stroll, in the service area waiting for their sugary drink «… if they came more often… we’d have treats more often… and I know just how much you love them!».

Denji had also noticed the way that Power, who thought humans all beneath her, was almost warm with you; certainly, eccentric and bold but after having witnessed Nyako brushing against your legs on your first meeting, she had grown much mellower around you, rubbing against you as the cat did and somehow… purring.

Denji had by now stopped trying to police Power’s behavior, still he thought that in this case it was favorable to his general idea, although his friend remained as stoic as ever, even going as far as showing him her tongue.

«Why should we help some humans?» she grimaced lightly as Denji grabbed his beverage from the vending machine «… if they are too stupid to notice their obvious feelings for each other… why should we meddle?».

«Because it’d be fun!» Denji promptly intervened although he understood they had two very different – and violent – definitions of fun and his first argument didn’t have much effect on Power «… and it’d mean that we might get more treats… as I was saying».

«We could simply imprison them in the apartment, and they’d be forced to make us treats»

Power’s mind never failed to amaze – and scare – Denji who simply shook off his head.

«Alright… alright… let’s take this from another perspective» he started again while Power got her own drink, having Denji open it for her as it ruined the pretty nails you had painted for her«… Hayakawa is a huge pain in our ass, isn’t he».

«He is» Power relented as she duked her head low in obvious displeasure.

«… but…» and Denji held up a finger in utter conviction «… if he got laid! Then the problem would be solved! And he doesn’t seem the type to bang somebody he meets in a bar… or he’d have probably hit it off with Himeno by now… don’t you think?».

Power seemed to consider it for a moment and right when Denji thought that his partner got it, she screeched.

«I don’t see how getting laid might solve it!» and after a moment of meditation «… laying down in the bed might help him but…!».

«I don’t mean laying down like that!».

Denji was growing frustrated, unable to explain to power the utter genius behind his plan, clutching his head tightly in his hands as he slowly crumped on his ass against the wall.

«… God, almost… almost pretend I didn’t say anything, I just… thought it’d be fun… and it might get us a bit more of treat and kindness from topknot».

And right as he was losing all hope, Power leaned against him to be at his height, smiling what seemed a pure devious smile.

«… it’s going to be fun?» and at Denji’s obvious nod she cheered almost as if she had been told that she had won the Nobel Prize «… why didn’t you, immediately, say so?!».

And like that Denji’s and Power’s partnership started up to get you and Aki together.

First action: getting rid of the competition.

«… shouldn’t we also get rid of Mrs. Makima?» Power asked as she and Denji stared off Aki’s window to look at the entrance to the apartment building, waiting for your arrival.

It had been a few days that they had met you as they returned from their patrol with a man that you had presented as one of your colleagues.

Still, the way said man flustered whenever you’d chat him up was definitely a sign that he could be a rival to Hayakawa and they couldn’t have that.

«No!» promptly Denji protested, ripping himself from the window, where he was staring through the cones made by his hands.

«Why?» Power questioned also disrupting her watchful gaze on the entrance «… didn’t you say that the topknot has a crush on her?».

And that was also another reason why Denji wanted for you and Aki to get together: if you got together then Aki wasn’t anymore a threat to his conquer of Mrs. Makima.

«Well…» obviously he couldn’t have said that to Power after he had convinced her that what they were doing for the greater good «… well! It’s because we all know that Hayawak has zero… zero chances with Mrs. Makima!».

Power seemed to consider it for a moment before a grim smile appeared on her face.

«… and we would have zero chances of intimidating Mrs. Makima, considering she’s as scary as a bath in the middle of the day» the blood fiend commented, her voice showing the obvious fear they felt towards their leader and Denji couldn’t help but agree by taking a huge intake of saliva, and noticing that you had come back.

Annoying suitor on your tail.

«Hey!» he called out to Power who had noticed the same thing and was barely able to contain the excitement she felt «… let’s go with the next phase of the part, alright?».

And just like that they both rushed to the entrance of the building, waiting hidden that you’d be passing and going up to your apartment, and then they rushed out of the gates with matching mischievous smiles on their face as they were switch, to catch up with your colleague.

He looked the least aware possible of a fiend and a chainsaw devil following him but so wouldn’t be for long as both Denji and Power came to stand in front of him, blocking him from walking further and right as he moved to the side to avoid them, they both matched his step, stopping him in his walk.

Now Denji knew that he wasn’t that scary – and he couldn’t exactly evoke the chainsaws as he knew that Mrs. Makima would have been disappointed with him – but Power had horns.

And even more importantly: a crazy personality.

The poor man seemed already startled as he took a step back, mumbling something that seemed like apologies and just like that Power started rolling.

«Yes! Yes, stupid human, apologize!».

Well, Power shouldn’t have definitely tried for the Nobel Prize when she might have as well won an Oscar for her thrilling performance as she moved closer to the backing away human who looked halfway through running away but, Denji was right there for it, by pushing himself to the shoulders of the man to cut off his escape rout.

«… hey! I am talking to you! Shit of a human!».

«I… I… I…» and pathetically the man went to his knees.

Denji would have felt bad for the man, hadn’t it been for the fact that they were doing this for the greater good: letting Hayakawa have a stable sex life.

«… don’t know… I… am sorry if I…».

«That woman…» now Power had moved closer to the man, lowering herself to further tower over him while Denji made sure to close all the areas around him «… you must let her go! Don’t you understand!».

He looked confused for a moment, before saying your name almost questioningly and that’s when Power evoked her blood hammer, a good scenography bonus that had the man widen his eyes as his arms went to his head waiting for a bow.

«Don’t! Speak! Her! Name!».

With each word, Power smacked the hammer against the palm of her hand and although he hadn’t been hit, he convulsed on the floor as if he had.

Like a pig

«… and don’t ever… ever! Don’t ever come close to her! Understood?».

«But…» he tried to protest although another smack of the blood hammer against Power’s awaiting hand was enough to have him shut up promptly.

«You aren’t to come closer to her than a…» and scrunching her brows at Denji who was holding up five fingers, she went to add «… than at least seven meters! You understand me, silly, stupid human?».

The man nodded heavily and clearly scared for his life and Denji couldn’t help to think that – aside Power’s lack in math – they might have taken the game a tad too far especially as Power was laughing maniacally, spurred on by the man’s terror.

«… alright…» he tried to lean in the thing, by letting the man’s back be free and going to retrieve poor Power, who wasn’t satisfied as she was dragged away by Denji before a crowd could form around the crying man.

«… and I’ll know it! I’ll know it if you come close! Understood?» she was definitely having far too much time on this «… you silly… silly… humannnn».

So, it shouldn’t have surprised that although you reported that your affectionate colleague had suddenly started distancing himself from you – “it’s strange as he was always insistent on walking me home if anything happened, when we finished late” – to Aki, who comforted you – a victory in both Power’s and Denji’s eyes – they got an horrible reprimand – and their sugar privileges revoked – because apparently a fiend and a blond-haired boy had been reported threatening an honest neighbor.

Well, who said victory tasted sweet was wrong.

According to the magazine that he had forced Power to buy for them – something called Teen Vogue with a quiz that told you whether you were a pea, chickpea, or a banana but also a lot of photos of hot celebrities – what got a couple to form was spending time together.

Now, you and Aki didn’t spend too much time together, mostly because you both were hard-workers and especially in the last period neither you nor Aki had been in each other’s apartment at the same time, forcing Power and Denji to take extreme measures, as they had to force you to stay together.

You had come over ahead of time as you had wanted Power and Denji to try a treat that you had done in your free time and to wait Hayakawa’s return at home – according to Power, you, two, were already disgustingly domestic – and although you’d have stayed a few hours to chat with Aki and might have stayed even for dinner, they needed you to spend more time immediately.

Hence while Power distracted you with Nyako, Denji stole your apartment keys from your purse and flushed them; he hadn’t exactly thought the whole thing through, especially as you panicked once while checking your purse after dinner – they both celebrated Aki being the one to ask you to stay for dinner – and didn’t find the keys, worried that you might have lost them or left them inside of the house.

You were panicking and again Power and Denji celebrated because Hayakawa was so sweet with you, calming you down with his usual neutral tone and helping you focus on where you might have last left them.

“I swear they were in my purse!” you promptly repeated, and you were right, hadn’t it been for two special busybodies who feigned utter focus in searching the entire house, although eventually a universal truth was delivered: you must have lost your keys.

The landlady would give you a copy in the afternoon and you now needed a place to stay, for the night.

As you were flipping through some contacts, Denji pipped up the discourse he had readied for himself that afternoon while making sure that the keys would be properly flushed out.

«Why don’t you stay here?».

He even made his puppy eyes.

He had thought of being the one saying something this time, especially as Power had gone a bit… overboard the last time.

«… I mean… I am sure that topknot will agree… it’s… late and if anything happened… God forbids a demon.. or…».

And he had expected sweet and dependable Aki to join in, but the man had just lowered his head in an obvious dismissal.

Didn’t he have a heart for poor you who’d be forced to walk in the dark?

«… it’d be terrible if anything happened to you» he stepped up on the subtlety as Power joined in and nodded eagerly and tried to have Nyako do the same in a show of support «… and we have… we have a lot of space and… I mean you’d be forced tosleepwithHayakawa because Power is a very delicate sleeper and… I am a teenager boy, and it wouldn’t do…».

«That’s very kind, Denji» you sufficed softly with a gentle smile, before nodding to your phone «… but I have a friend who lives in the apartment complex right beside this one and…».

«But you might never know» God, Denji couldn’t believe that Power was able to act like that «… humans… you are puny, and I have heard of a fiend terrorizing the neighborhood. They… well… they apparently terrorized this silly-looking and coward man…».

«Power».

Oh, finally Aki did speak, although it wasn’t the ‘oh please, stay! Stay forever if you want’ that Denji had been expecting.

«… did you… did you… flush all the toilette paper confection?».

And right as Denji was trying to understand the reasoning behind such a crass comment and Power was about to defend herself from such a vileaccuse – it had also happened once – he noticed that Aki hadn’t been looking at his shoes but to the water erupting from behind the bath door.

That’s how Denji discovered that you shouldn’t – ever – flush keys in the WC.

The silver lining of it all was the fact that the toilette did push out your keys – and other stuff – and hence you did have them back, while Denji, Power and Aki were forced to sleep at your apartment while they waited for somebody to fix the toilette.

Oh, and apparently Nyako being blamed didn’t seem believable, so their sugar privileges were revoked for another week.

«Hear me out!».

Denji hadn’t relented the plan; he didn’t care that it had gotten him deprived of his candies – both you and Mrs. Makima had sneaked him some – when the purpose of his actions was far more glorious.

And he had come to collect further information about how a couple came to be, especially from experts.

«You want to push them together?» Himeno had asked as both Denji and Power had come to her asking for help.

A horrible decision considering how annoying and crass the woman could be, but Mrs. Makima was out of question and Kishibe would have laughed right in their face, something that Hmeno had done as well.

Then she had spoken to be useful.

«… alright, alright» she had settled brushing her hair off her face with her invisible hand «… you, then, need to make Aki jealous».

At that both Power and Denji had seemed utterly confused: how did making Aki jealous of you would have helped you forming a couple?

Still, Himeno had promptly illuminated them.

«It’s what always happens in romcom» she explained with the air of an expert, although the fact that she quoted movies should have been a huge red flag to her flawed reasoning «… whenever the guy realizes that somebody is threatening their girl… well, he also concludes that he can’t live without her. That he loves her».

And in both Denji’s and Power’s book that perfectly made sense.

Now the difficult part was making Aki jealous; he didn’t seem bothered by anything who could offer a threat to you?

Considering they didn’t have much choice, Denji and Power had to be the ones.

That day you had decided to spend it together with Aki, Denji and Power grocery shopping, which was already a nice start because whenever you’d be around the head of the squad would be far more lenient of the two troublemakers.

Your own good mood rubbing off him, as Power and Denji raced through the aisles on the shopping cart.

Still, this time they hadn’t come to play.

Denji and Power exchanged a swift look and so it began.

«Mrs.!» Denji asked gaining your attention but also the one of Hayakawa who looked at him as one would do to a bug.

An ugly bug right on their toilette roof.

«… did you do something to your hair?».

You looked taken aback, flustering lightly but mostly because you seemed taken aback by the question.

«Ahem… I… washed them… this morning?».

«Oh» he feigned innocence as Aki’s distrustful gaze became more evident and he felt like he might have been on the right road, especially delighted that Hayakawa would feel threatened by somebody like him «… it looks better than the usual».

And although he had meant it as a compliment, it didn’t sound like that as promptly Aki shook his head with a huff while you regarded Denji with a kind but a bit startled smile, saying nothing but a lukewarm ‘thank you’.

As you and Aki turned to focus on the grocery shopping, Power flicked his forehead and muttered:

“Let me try” and before Denji could say anything, she was off to your side.

«Mrs.!» she called out to you as you smiled gently to her «…you are the smartest human, I know».

Shit, Denji cursed himself for not having thought about that, all too focused on the physical side.

He had thought hair to be a safe zone, but he had been so wrong as your smile promptly brightened on your face and you went to gently put a hand over Power’s shoulder, right as the girl opened her mouth again, ruining everything.

«… I mean… you are still pretty stupid, because I saw you falling on your ass that one time while trying to carry all those grocery bags on your own».

And just like that your easygoing smile was gone replaced by an embarrassed expression while Power turned to Denji to show her his tongue, considering it a victory.

«Power!» Aki reprimanded her promptly, waggling a finger, although he also turned to you with a sober expression «… and please, don’t hesitate to ask for me when you need to carry something heavy… you do live a floor above us and with the elevator not yet fixed…».

You, further, flustered at Aki’s suggestion and although it wasn’t due to the whole jealousy thing, it seemed like you and Aki were now talking.

«I… I mean… I didn’t want to disturb you and…» you looked to your shoes «… you weren’t at home».

«Then please feel free to ask Power and Denji, as they are always not doing anything» and just like that the intimate moment was destroyed and Power and Denji got another reprimand, although this time they hadn’t done anything.

Both Denji and Power relented from the jealousy program the entire grocery store run, thinking it was stupid and neither of them were equipped to have Aki jealous and thinking about it, Hayakawa hadn’t seem even bothered by your colleague accompanying you.

Was it possible that they had seen wrong, and he wasn’t interested in you?

All their hard work couldn’t be for nothing, could it?

As they were panicking – or better Denji was panicking and Power plotting her world domination dream – in the grocery shop parking lot, they witnessed a scene that reinforced their resolution; you were filling the back of the truck with the grocery while Aki was smoking a cigarette a bit far away hidden by the car, when a guy approached you.

Neither Power nor Denji were minding him any attention, till they heard Aki’s voice.

«Leave the lady alone».

And just like that, they both moved their eyes to where the man had grabbed onto your wrist with you looking utterly at unease and clearly wanting to be anywhere but there.

Aki had appeared right in front of the scene and had pushed himself in front of you, right in the line of the man.

«… she said she isn’t interested».

«And who’d you be, dude?» the man asked as both Denji and Power were startled by the fact that man made perfect pristine asshole Hayakawa tick in a way that they hadn’t been able to in a long time «… I was just fucking talk with her».

«And I said I wasn’t interested» you reiterated, clearly at unease, at which both Denji and Power came closer.

Now they might be disasters in relationships but they had no qualms in helping topknot kick this dude to the curb as he had come onto you, the person who baked goods to them and treated them like two teens and not an adult and a monster.

Still, Aki had it promptly handled as the man didn’t seem ready to release your wrist, hence he twisted it in a way that hurt him and wouldn’t bother you, effectively getting him to release his hold and once he had done such a thing, he slammed that same fist in the dude’s face with an agility that gave Denji the chills.

And so happened to the man who had tried to approach you.

«Scram».

It was said in such a neutral tone that suddenly Denji thought that he was face with all too powerful demon and not topknot.

Thankfully it wasn’t direct towards him as the man got the message and left you alone, your wrist still clutched – far more gently – in Aki’s hand as he took a moment to caress it before turning to you.

«Everything alright?».

You nodded painfully out of breath and red in the cheeks, although Denji reasoned that both reactions weren’t due to collusion, but to Aki treating you tenderly as his whole face and demeanor softened turning upon you.

«… he didn’t hurt you, right?».

«Not really» you explained with a soft-spoken tone as if you didn’t want anybody to hear the words aside Aki. As if it was just the two of you «… I… it was so kind of you to intervene, Aki. I am sorry that you had to… though… God, I don’t think it has ever happened to me in sunlight and in the center of a parking lot!».

«It shouldn’t happen at all» Aki commented categorically before he finally snapped back from his reverie, letting your wrist go that fell limp between the two of you as if it hadn’t been ready to let go «… and it wouldn’t have happened if those busybodies had helped you with the groceries! Instead of minding their business!».

Why was it that whenever he tried to do anything for the greater good, Denji got kicked in the metaphorical – and not – balls?

Slowly Denji was losing faith: his own ideas didn’t work, advice on magazine didn’t work and this was the last time that he listened to Himeno.

He didn’t know how to bring you and Aki to kiss kiss make up.

Was it possible that he was simply not meant… to work the greater good? 

Unless, obviously with the greater good you meant the gun demon and the possibility to have his wish grant by Mrs. Makima.

Or maybe it wasn’t his fault: you and Aki were just a desperate case, stealing longing gazes to each other and never acting upon your emotions. Although it seemed like something had changed at work, as Himeno had sneakily told them, since Aki had seemed quite… unfocused and constantly checking his phone which meant – according to the older woman – that he was texting you.

Denji and Power had once tried to steal Hayakawa’s phone, but they had soon risked of finding Aki’s katana shoved up their asses at such infractions and had immediately given up such a thing.

Maybe they should have just stopped and minded their own business as it seemed like this was what best suited the situation.

And Denji was minding his business, looking lightly gloomy as you tried to teach – with little results – to Power how to make cupcakes as she had insisted that she wanted them now and to ease her tantrum you had opted to have her do them with you, while Aki settled the laundry and Denji comfortably lazed around.

Looking gloomy which you immediately noticed.

«Anything of the matter, Denji?» you asked as you left Power to press the baking solution in the mold, trusting that she wouldn’t coat the entire kitchenette with it «… you are looking a bit sad, my dear».

«Eh?» he kissed lightly his teeth, wondering what lie he could come up with to cover the fact that he felt disappointed because his genius plan of bringing you and Aki wasn’t working. Still, Aki answered for him.

«He’s just grumpy because he hasn’t been given enough attention» he hissed almost disgusted with Denji although they were past now the initial hatred «… Mrs. Makima was disappointed with him because he doesn’t seem focused».

«I could say the same to you» Denji whimpered through a lowered octave enough not to be heard by Aki, as you came closer.

«Still, trying to catch Mrs. Makima’s attention?» you lightly teased him, settling in front of him «… isn’t she a bit too old for you?».

«She’s a tad too much for him» Aki muttered happily, as this time Denji flipped him off.

«Oh no need to be mean, Aki!» you called out to him gently, before grabbing both of Denji’s hands and pushing him to his feet «… if you want I can teach you a sure way to impress Mrs. Makima, alright?».

And just like that Denji’s eyes brightened as he nodded eagerly.

You smiled, always gentle and reassuring.

Thinking about it, you were far too much for the old grumpy man, Aki and maybe the universe was doing you a favor by not allowing you to be together with topknot.

«… I’ll teach you how to dance, alright».

And like that you were swift to put one of Denji’s hands on top of your shoulder and another on your waist, just shy of your lower back and enough to have the poor boy flustered, huffing, and wondering whether he could die from the simple contact.

It got even worse when you pulled him closer with a hairline distance between your body before starting to tut a rhythm.

«… now usually it’s the man that guides… which is an antiquated thought, but… oh well, I am blabbering. I’ll guide this time».

And like that you twirled Denji and all the exactment he had felt for the closeness of a hot female body was gone, busy as he was to keep his balance at rhea sudden move much to your chagrin.

«Alright, we’ll start slow» you proclaimed, adjusting the rhythm as you moved up and down and then side-to-side showing Denji all the base moves, although he kept on not getting the full hang of it, stumbling a bit while you patiently repeated the move before a disgruntled Power claimed her own turn at the ‘dance contest’.

Only once pushed back again on the sofa, Denji noticed the way Aki’s lips had lightly quirked up in a pleasant smile, as if he was genuinely happy.

He looked almost… peaceful, which was a weird sight to see on his face and Denji wondered whether something awful would be happening all too soon.

The oven beeped and you separated from Power, who apparently was better than Denji at dancing, to get the muffins and just like that it seemed like the dance contest was finished, everybody all too happy to enjoy the sugary treats while you praised Power for helping you make them, although her help had been abysmal unless you counted the mess in the kitchen that neither of the troublemakers helped clean, leaving it to you and Aki as they took their turns in the bath.

Denji, feeling a bit bad, went to see whether he could help you after his shower – and not totally because he wanted to smuggle another muffin – but as he came in sight of the kitchen he was startled to find a soft music playing in the background alongside your giggles as – ever serious – Aki twirled you with much more ease than you had done with Power and Denji.

He was far better than Power and Denji as a partner and again, he looked genuinely amused as you joined in the general hilarity something akin to intimacy being reached between the two of you as Denji promptly turned around, thinking to have witnessed something far too private for his sight, although he regretfully had to let go of his muffins since Power had no shame and stole his own.

Suddenly spurred on by the kitchen memory, Power and Denji decided one last attempt: they had recently gone to the cinema with Mrs. Makima, a memory that the boy treasured dearly in their heart, but both he and Power had especially been hit by a scene of the movie where the main couple exchanged a romantic dinner, using it to confess each other’s feelings.

And just like that Denji and Power had their own final plan.

If it didn’t work, you’d have to handle your own, you and topknot. Denji did like you both, but the next step was just to smash your head together and scream ‘now kiss’, an idea he wasn’t especially fond considering that while Aki would have straight up killed them, you would have stopped baking them any good.

So, the dinner it was. 

After all, how hard could a dinner be?

Very, apparently.

Ordering everything from a nearby shop had been an idea, but neither he nor Power had enough money having mostly spent it in magazines, candies, and drinks on their patrols.

So, they had to improvise and neither of them had the skills to cook.

Empowered by the muffins episode, Power insisted to prepare the dessert, leaving Denji to the main course.

Naturally he had read somewhere that some specific foods could be used to put people in the mood and God knows how much Hayakawa needed to fuck.

Hence without thinking he had thought of making an omelet with asparagus and saffron as he had both the things at home.

The problem started with the eggs; they were difficult to crack without the external shell not going in them and when it came to cook the eggs, he had a bit of difficulty in turning them as he had seen in TV, burning every and each one he tried, till he obtained a somewhat nice result.

The asparagus didn’t help, and the saffron stole the entire flavor of the thing, as Denji dutifully tasted the meal to assure it’d be up to your taste.

He couldn’t serve such a thing and yet, there wasn’t anything else he could have offered for the romantic dinner.

He turned to Power, hoping she had succeeded in something, just to see her trying to use Nyako as a rolling pin, effectively contaminating the whole muffin baking base.

They were royally fucked, especially as you came in.

They both hid behind the kitchen counter, as was the plan: the table was already set with a candle that they had found and that wasn’t as beautiful as the one in the movie but smelled of lavender that was supposed to be calming.

A bottle of wine – that they had grabbed from the top shelf, jumping one over the other – was opened and technically both Power and Denji should have been in their uniform feigning to be waiters.

But the meal wasn’t ready and the kitchen was a mess.

Everything aside the romantic dinner they had planned.

“What did you try to do, busybodies?” Aki promptly asked once he got to them, while you tried to lenite his harsh words “… how many times have I told you not to cook unsupervised? And… you shouldn’t use the phone but for emergencies! We both rushed here…”.

«Aki» you promptly caught the topknot’s attention «…I think that they might have meant well. For once».

Your eyes were set upon the dinner table with what could only be described as a tad of emotion while looking over the elegant set up – Power and Denji might have fucked up the food, but they certainly hadn’t done the same with the table – before turning to the two troublemakers with an inquisitive look.

«But why only two plates?».

And before either Power and Denji could reply with the obvious statement that it was for the romantic dinner between you and Aki, you moved to where the cutlery was kept – by now more at ease with Aki’s apartment than your own – and got a few plates out while the topknot followed you and grabbed the glasses, catching your drift without words.

«… if this needs to be a celebratory dinner, we should be I four».

And turning to Denji with a provocative smile you added:

«Don’t tell me that the idea was for you and Power to have a romantic dinner?».

Both Denji and Power felt more disgusted by that insinuation than the rotten food that they had prepared that night, grateful when you simply suggested ordering pizza to ease their tormented souls.

Well, at least this time the plan hadn’t backfired.

Denji, after endless nights spent in a general state of alarm, had developed a rather light sleep, waking himself up at any slight noise, which was especially troublesome when a snoring fiend was sleeping beside you.

Still, it wasn’t Power the reason behind his suddenly awake status as he held footsteps coming from the other room, and the giggles.

Your giggles.

And yet, you hadn’t stayed over. You hadn’t even come over that night, feigning yourself busy with some work matters much to Power’s and Denji’s disappointment who had hoped to spend some time with you now that Aki had been dismissed by the hospital.

You did visit them, but with work you had had just the time to drop some meals over, before going to the hospital as well to visit poor sweet Hayakawa after his last fight against an annoying demon.

Hence your sudden presence seemed almost a dream and Denji shook lightly Power, risking being bitten in a leg as the fiend didn’t enjoy being woken up – her sleep being especially heavy with Nyako on her chest, as was the case – although once settled she also confirmed to the boy he wasn’t hearing fantasies.

You were there.

In their apartment.

And as a second voice joined, they realized you were there with Aki.

Shouldn’t he have been still in hospital? 

Power went to move to greet you and Hayakawa but Denji held her back as a conversation seemed to sparkle between the two of you as he leaned with his ear against the door to catch onto it.

“… can’t believe that she brought alcohol in the fucking hospital” you spoke bubbly and much to the shock of the fiend and the boy, Aki joined your tone.

“It’s fucking Himeno, what the fuck were you expecting?”.

Neither Power nor Denji had heard the man speak so unbuttonedly and they exchanged a determine look before going to open the door with as little to no noise as possible.

“… I think it was her ‘get well’ bouquet of sorts”.

Both Denji and Power moved like spies across the house till they came in the dining room, hidden by the kitchenette and hallway to the rooms to sneak a look to the slumped form of Aki leaning onto you while you helped him to the sofa, before sitting down next to him as a fit of giggles filled the room.

Again, Aki being strangely happy.

“Do you think they…?” and Denji signed the gesture of ‘getting high’ to Power who obviously didn’t understand it, sending him a confused look but whatever she was going to say was promptly stalled by your voice echoing.

«… I think that she was extremely worried for you, Aki» and Denji noticed that your hand had moved to pat gently Hayakawa’s hair, which weren’t put in his usual updo and when he turned lightly, the younger boy couldn’t help but think that he looked so young.

And happy.

«… I was also extremely worried for you».

The tone sobered up immediately.

«It’s my job».

Did Hayakawa sound almost… resentful?

Power did look halfway through giving out her hiding spot to protect you.

«… I… you shouldn’t worry».

«And Himeno should?».

Was that jealousy in your tone?

Was it possible that they had used the wrong tactic, and it was you who should have been made jealous?

«You know what I mean» Aki hissed through his teeth as your hand moved from his hair onto his chin and grabbed it tightly.

Again, Denji had that sensation of when he had caught you and topknot dancing in the kitchen

«… I… don’t want you worrying for me. It’s rotten work».

«Not to me» your voice was above a whimper and Denji had to jumpe from his hiding spot to shush Power.

“He is hurting her!” she protested, trying to bite his fingers.

“They are adults!” he shut back, trying to keep his noise quiet “… they can handle it”.

“It doesn’t seem so!”.

«I can’t…» Aki looked right about unable to be as smart as usual and Denji almost wished he could have had a camera to immortalize this moment «… make you undergo that. I… can’t promise to…».

«You don’t need to».

Your voice was so brave that for a moment Denji thought that you’d have made an even finer Devil Hunter than Aki.

«… you just need to let me love you, Aki».

The ‘l-word’ you had finally said it and Power sent Denji a look of pure victory, although he kept the hold onto her mouth.

«… I…» also Aki seemed taken aback and it took everything in Denji not to curse him out for promptly letting such an occasion «… guess… that’d work… I…».

«Then let me fuss and care for you, Hayakawa» you teased him lightly, making to get up promptly to get the white paper bag on the table with the medication, but before you could, the topknot had stopped you.

You seemed promptly stalled in your steps.

«… does it…».

Still, before any further words could leave his words, Aki brought you into a breathless kiss.

Denji didn’t think that he’d have expected it from his emotionless squad leader, but the way his arms promptly clutched you down to push you further against his lap was anything but cold and neutral.

Power let out a small giggle and when you detached you took a step back obviously taken aback although a warm smile appeared on her face.

«Thank you, then» Aki had the audacity to utter «…for caring for me».

You nodded, without words and both Denji and Power thought that you got this, retreating to their rooms with a pip in their walks, and imagining it the warm voice of topknot through the door muttering.

“Thank you, busybodies”.

Afterall, Denji did it for the greater good.

Tits.

power is the one aki finds himself chasing after, whether it’s after a cat she spies on the street or a third ice cream stand she’s managed to spot on their walk home. she insists on being the leader between the three of them, insists nobody else has nearly enough intellect, but it works well enough. if aki can convince her that his idea was hers, they can make it to the store on time.

aki’s not sure why he’s so reluctant to leave either of them behind. when denji whines about missing an episode of his tv show or power refuses to move because nyako’s on her lap, he thinks it might just be easier to let them be, but something in his chest doesn’t sit right at the idea of them being alone. he convinces the both of them it’s because the apartment would catch fire, the microwave would explode, all of his convenience-store bread would be missing—to which they immediately burst into denying any and all accusations of ever doing anything wrong. with all the good they’ve apparently done, they could almost pass for angels, aki thinks one time, if not for power’s horns and denji’s chainsaw cord. well—and the fact they’re so damn loud.

deep down, he knows his discomfort is more than that. knows it has to do with denji sleeping in a dump with a devil for company as a child, how power’s panic at her cat’s capture came from a deep-rooted fear of being alone again. whatever it is, he forces the two of them off of the couch and out to the store. makes sure to let them get at least one thing they like as “payment”, and not because he likes the way they light up when he is finally wheedled into saying yes.

when aki looks over at the shopping cart, he can almost forgive the unnecessary amount of junk they toss in there, because for a second power is shouting something excitedly and denji is grinning right beside her—because something in his chest sings family, and he smiles when he turns away, right where they can see him.

could you do maybe ✏️ or 😈 with natsume, please?

DAY 12 — CHRISTMAS PROMPT ✏️ + natsume sakasaki

✏️   ─  create their own christmas/holiday tradition

It was rather early in the morning, around 7 am you suppose when you realized your boyfriend was already out of bed.

Which is strange. He is strange, but he usually wakes up at 9 during days where he has no plans. Even so, being awake at 7 for a plan is still weird.

And your cat would also be in bed too, asleep until much later into the afternoon, yet its nowhere to be seen; none of them are anywhere to be seen inside the bedroom.

You could only assume for the worst at this point.

You love your boyfriend, but if you see him creating some sort of potion inside the living room, he will not be allowed over your place anymore.

You groaned as you got up from the bed, still half awake while still carrying your blanket to the living room.

"Natsume... What the hell are you doing awake so early? I will kill you if you're creating some sort of potion–" you groggily rubbed the sleepiness away from your eyes, only for them to be widen in shock.

Natsume was still wearing his matching christmas sweater with you, papers scattered across the floor while Nyako was playing with one which was crumpled into a ball.

"Oh, good morning, koneko-chAN. I didn't expECT you to be awake so earLY." Natsume greeted you, smiling as if he isn't making a total mess of your living room right now. "And it appeARS that you aren't fully awaKE either. Fufu, it's okAY, I shall briNG you back to bED."

"Natsume. What were you trying to do? Did you seriously woke up at 7 in the morning to make a mess at my place?"

"I suppose sinCE you've caught me red handed, I shouLD givE you a breive explanation." He sighed, giving up quickly than he usually does which is suspicious in itself.

"Little kittEN and I were simply makiNG our owN christmAS traditiON. I must say, little kitten has been quite the helpER ♪" Natsume smiled at your cat who was still preoccupied with the ball of crumpled paper.

You rolled your eyes, a soft smile crawling up your lips. "Right, well then. Kindly do tell this christmas tradition of yours."

"Ah, it's far from finisED. NonetheleSS, I'll teLL you one the onES I am confident iN." He said, coughing into his fist as he scanned through it briefly once again. "On the day of christmAS eve, you muST spend the rest of thE day with me unTIL christmas finally arrivES."

You chuckled at his so called tradition, your arms folded together as you tapped your arm, chuckling at his antics.

"And as soon as the clock strikes midnight on christmAS, you must kiSS me on the liPS." He the stopped to look at you, smiling innocently. "Now, doesn't that souND nicE?"

"That sounds absolutely fine." You chuckled, smiling softly at him. "But I am still pissed off at you for waking me up so early just for this. I better see all of these mess cleaned up the next moment I wake up."

"Hm? And you'RE only blamING me for the meSS? What diD littLE kitten do to earn your loVE more than your verY own boyfriEND?" He asks, fake pouting as he gives Nyako side glances. Nyako did not care in the slightest, it was now tossing the crumpled ball of paper to the sky.

"Just because you're both cute, that does not mean you'll be let off the hook that easily; and I can easily see that Nyako was indeed dragged into this. Blame yourself, Sakasaki." You teased. After your whole speech, you couldn't contain the smile that was forming up your lips.

"But seriously, though. Clean it up before I wake up again."

"Of course, darliNG. The momeNT you wake up, you shall no lonGER see papERS scattering arouND nor will you see a speck of duST ♪" he said, smiling happily at you before trailing his eyes to Nyako once again. "... Nor will a cluMP of cat hair ♪"

You weren't really sure if he was serious, but you're far from tired to think twice about it. You yawned and turned your back on him before falling asleep completely on the floor.

Nyako's attention soon drifts away from the ball of paper it was playing to you, who simply fell asleep on the floor. Nyako ran towards you and soon found itself comfortable next to you and fell asleep itself.

Natsume walked up to you, beyond relief to see that you were still okay. With Nyako asleep beside you, Natsume couldn't help but chuckle neither could he contain that giddy smile of his.

"My, Nyako. AvoidING woRK, I see." Natsume chuckled once again before squatting down to pat both of your heads. "I'll let you slide since you'rE cuTE."

He soon places a kiss on your forehead. "GoodniGHT, Koneko-chan and merrY christmAS to you ♪"

[strawberry022]

I'm sitting there waiting for that moment where Asa and Denji argue loudly, saying all their shit with insults and yelling, telling each other their fears and traumas, for him to say later. "Fuck, you talk too much. Don't you get tired of being a talking encyclopedia?" and he hugs her, of course Asa tries to push him away, but she can't do it just like she can't stop crying wetting Denji's shoulder. But he doesn't care because he is also crying murmuring "You're not alone, Asa"

"Yes, I am. Did you leave me alone that day or did you forget? Everybody always leaves me alone, but I'm starting to think it's my fault. It would be better if I died, right? No one would miss me anyway"

He wanted to tell her what happened on the second date of she. He wanted to tell her that he didn't stand her up, but Nayuta….uuhhh. It was so hard, everything was hard with them, but there they were, comforting each other.

"My parents, Yuko and you, idiot! everyone left me alone!"

"Moron. I'm here now so forgive me"' He pulled her closer in his arms "Please. I don't want to be alone either."

How weird. He somehow wasn't alone, he had Nayuta, his dogs and Nyako & the "love" of the fans of him for being Chainsaw Man .... but then, why? Why did he feel lonely?

He and Asa were as weird as they were lonely.

≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺

Do you remember when Makima hugged Denji in the first chapter (part one)? Okay, I'm expecting something similar, but between Asa and Denji.

Those two need a big hug, you know.

DrawBacks Of AHiT

need to warning that this is only my opinion and only mine

plus, I started noticing it after I played psychonauts, which kind of was a big inspiration for ahit (post about it)

and I love “hat” as it is, with all disadvantages, with all pros and cons

without it, we wouldn’t have created what we have now

but yes.

disadvantages of AHiT. let's go. (contains spoilers)

🌂Optimization is one of the biggest drawbacks of course for this game

I was told that it can be fixed, but let's be honest, it's all the laziness of the authors deal with it

🌂About Bow, we basically don't know anything about her and plus there is not a single hint that developers basically wanted to add her to the game

(background arts and diary still belong to Hat Kid, and the DJ's photos are generally a huge banter over this)

in fact, by adding another character, they could make a story on her behalf, but no

🌂Instead of releasing DLC about Snatcher (VC) or cruise, they could have released an update for the desert for a long time and told the conductor's story through it, for me this is a huge omission and a strange waste of resources in terms of telling a story

🌂Unclear(?) Snatcher's character and his attitude towards Vanessa seem to cause a lot of debates in the fandom

And in general, there are a lot of conflicts in the fandom, because the game is not finalized so much that we all have to think everything out on our own and you try to please everyone, especially if you don't know anything from the canon (and as we already understood, we won't know, because gears are working on another game)

🌂There are few dialogues from the characters themselves, it would help to find out their attitude to everything that is happening, their characters and their stories

in fact, we can only talk to the Mafia and again.. Snatcher

for example Conductor could easily tell us some stories about his life, but this doesn’t happen

(I talk a lot about him, because he is one of the main characters about whom we don't know much)

🌂And from this we have the "Snatcher Syndrome" as I call it

in fact, we know most of all only his story (well, and Mafia), so people only love him (even.. sometimes too much bruh..) and sometimes it seems that there are no other characters in AHiT besides him.

it's just a huge disadvantage

As a creator, you should pay equal attention to each of your characters, and not choose one and make it more important than the main character.

🌂Also DJ Grooves can go fuck himself with it

🌂It’s strange where the crows came from, their history was cut out and they did not even try to replace it with a new one

🌂And so much at all, gears just threw a huge amount of "garbage" into history just for fun

🌂For example, the situation with the mafia boss

Why did we suddenly "kill" him(?)? Why did he explode? Why did he stay alive at all?

🌂And who is Snatcher anyway? Why did only he and Vanessa become a shadow(?) ghost?

🌂Or does anyone remember the king of cockroaches or skeletons in our closet and strange texts? Huge skeletons or huge chunks of meat?

🌂We don't know the story of our main character, we're just some faceless alien who has a “clock of time”

and for some reason, the mafia tells us about how the broken clock works, and not our main character or recordings from our ship

🌂Why do they give us money in Nyako if we can't use it!!!! why is there no exchange of pons for money and money for pons!!!!!!!!

🌂Toilet seriously???

🌂We don't know anything about the spirit world and the alps

🌂The language of the Hat people, we can't even decipher it to understand anything

🌂Where did the foxes and flowers come from and why did the fucking toilet come to life 🌂Why does fishdude exist, who is he and also who is huge black bird

🌂Why don't we know anything about the badge seller? the mystery, guys 🌂Gears decided not to tell the story of the Empress, but the story of the Vacuum 🌂We don't know anything about the important characters in the storybooks puffin, seal and florist for example

And the last because I didn't come up with anything else/remembered

🌂Why is Snatcher so “unique" for players? Because he is the only one who is aware of manipulations with time and ONLY he has dialogues that will never be repeated in the game

That is, gears, you can still create it, but why can't other characters do it

For example, they experienced flashbacks that they had already seen you or that these events had already happened, but did not understand what is actually happening

and then they continued their usual speech again

Just one little detail can change so much, right?

CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 7-10

Made good progress on comms today! Sneaking in a chapter or two before I sleep.

Well the cat looks more stressed in the manga lol, that's nice.

Really nice framing/composition on this one.

Power flashback time!

It's a shorter sequence than in the anime so I appreciate Mappa for showing more Nyako/Power moments.

I like this page too. Sudden Bat grab feels abrupt. Or maybe it's just my anime experience coloring that feeling.

Noting this too, the takeoff being shown by just the roof shattering.

(Idk if all the things I'm pointing out are usual shonen manga conventions but I've read like 3(?) Actual Manga*, so bear with me here as I take down notes.)

:U

Man I really like how flashbacks are done here.

Okay on to Chapter 8.

After reading in the infinite scroll webtoon format for so long seeing paneling like this is such a visual treat.

He's so shocked 😭

I love protagonists who don't give into villain philosophizing.

Okay Chapter 9 now.

Oh so here's where the montage of Power and Nyako come from.

Lol such a weirdly-romantic-looking shot

Hahaha

Dude really got a glow-up in the anime. Why'd they make him more muscular? Fanservice?? I haven't seen a single Denji simp.

These close-ups of Leech's face are killing me. She's just 👄

:D

HYPE

HYPEEEE

Woah fox's design is cooler here. Especially how she's half phased-in and you can see parts of the background through her.

So cool how the eyes are the last to vanish.

Cat being pretty chill with all of that happening is source-accurate too lol.

Okay that's it for this liveread!

*The only other manga I've read are Saiki K, Houseki No Kuni... and Spy x Family. The composition/paneling of CSM really stands out compared to those three so hopefully I can Absorb that and apply to whatever future comics I make.

[nefariousrat]

chainsaw man deep dive chapter 5: the way to feel breasts

warning: this post may contain spoilers for the entirety of csm as this is a re-read and analysis.

this is definitely a shorter chapter but it still gives some important information. finally though, we're introduced to the third member of our trio, the future prime minister power.

power is energetic and flighty, darting around every which way. she speaks oddly, an eclectic mix between haughty and old-fashioned. it's fun and it meshes surprisingly well with her contradictory appearance and behavior. she's got long, wild hair and her uniform is barely put together. she, like denji, very much looks like she's dressing the part and ultimately failing. she looks more like a punk teenager than a public safety officer. she's offensive and arrogant towards denji despite just meeting him. she automatically sees herself as superior and he is unworthy of her presence.

in the meantime, to sate her boredom, power craves a fight. when she finally gets a whiff of blood (she's a fiend of a blood devil, of course) she rushes ahead of denji, disregards protocol and reveals the extent of her wild nature.

she reminds me a bit of a violent fae. i love her.

this panel gives me similar vibes to the title panel of chapter 4 where denji is in his boxers leashed up like a dog. both power and denji are outcasts, treading the line between devil and human, and neither can truly hide who they really are.

power

interestingly, when makima is lecturing them after their legal disaster, power goes from arrogantly defensive (and nervous, most likely) to outright afraid. denji, on the other hand, is not afraid at all.

power acts a lot like a street cat. she loves to hunt and play, and she's got superb instincts. she can smell blood from a distance and knows when she's in danger.

she deals with this fear, though, by lying through her teeth and shifting it onto denji. like a cat, she has a strong sense of self preservation.

she's also good at picking up on details, better than aki actually. where aki was continuously shocked by the personal information denji dropped, power notices it and has no problem ascertaining what is needed to get him to do what she wants.

i like how each of the trio are so caught up in themselves that they outright refuse to see that they're all much more similar than they think. i think that really adds to the beauty of their relationship.

denial of circumstances

i want to jump around to the very beginning of the chapter because we're given some important information about both denji and power here.

the two of them are patrolling the rooftops, avoiding populated areas as per makima's orders. we get a flashback to them meeting with makima where she dehumanizes power in a similar way to how she dehumanized denji. makima addresses power as a creature who just so happens to have the mental acuity necessary to be kept alive and working for the public safety bureau. makima chose to take away her innate humanity, or human-like traits that, in actually, all devils, fiends, and humans share.

later, after their meeting with makima at the scene of the botched mission, denji and power have an interaction at the vending machines.

at first, i found this a bit contradictory to what we've seen so far of denji. my conclusion is that he's just really bad at understanding his emotions and he isnt aware of how generous he actually is, especially compared to the people around him.

i think it goes back to the muscle devil interaction and losing pochita. denji's family is his devil dog. power's family is her cat, nyako. denji claims he can't understand when he actually does. very much. this is another hint that denji really isn't a reliable narrator. he lies to himself unconsciously.

for my last point of discussion...titties? titties.

denji finally has access to a girl his age and who he'll be in close proximity with for a long time. i think this is why his perversion massively increases after power is introduced. as much as he wants makima, she isn't accessible and he knows it.

so what does he do? he allows his curiosity to motivate him. after all, it was one of his dreams to be with a girl.

at the vending machine, denji is thinking about power's chest. i think when they're there together, alone, kind of in an awkward space, denji actually wants to breach it. yeah, he definitely does have inpure intentions, but it's not ALL he wants. he just doesnt realize that himself.

i have the beginnings of thoughts to elaborate on but i think it will be better when i reach a chapter that gives more material to flesh out.

thanks for reading.

Chainsaw Man Starter Rope Cast Interview: Ai Fairouz

How did you feel when you got the role of Power?

It's kind of cliché, but really really happy… because I've always loved Chainsaw Man and I thought "I just want to audition!" I was thinking, even if it's difficult, I just want to take on the challenge. But as the selection process progressed, I started feeling more like, "I'm definitely going to play Power-chan!" My manager and I worked together to create the performance and figure out "Would Power-chan talk like this?", so I was happy when the role was decided.

How did you develop your performance during recording?

It was a little hard to compare and adjust our different mental images of Power. At first, I spoke with my natural voice, but Director Nakayama wanted more of a "younger sister" feeling, so I changed to a higher voice. However, if you go too high, it comes off like you're trying to flirt, so that adjustment was challenging. Also, I asked Director Nakayama how he chose the cast, and he said, "I chose people whose voices I felt matched the nature of the characters," and that made my hesitation disappear. I realized I just needed to act natural without overthinking, and I could adjust my performance accordingly.

What scene would you like people to pay attention to in episode 2, where Power first appears?

It was also in the teaser PV, but the scene where Power jumps off the building has amazing movement. It's that movement that can only be seen in anime, so definitely pay attention! For Power's lines, it was especially fun to act out the last line, "The kill is mine! Gahahahaha!" I laughed as hard as I could. I was recording with Toya-kun, who plays Denji, and Sakata-kun, who plays Aki, and they both laughed, so I was happy. I was asked to act naturally, but she's an inhuman character, so I tried a lot of things when performing, I hope people will pay attention to that. We also paid special attention to the recording environment, like changing the microphone position for each character and line, so I'm looking forward to seeing the finished anime!

What did you think of the original Chainsaw Man manga?

I remember reading because I saw it in a bookstore and liked the illustrations, and I was shocked by the phrase "Tomato Devil" (laughs). The protagonists' life was also shocking. After reading the entire series, I really realized that this is an avant-garde work, nothing like this has been made before. The art is a combination of retro and pop, with color schemes that only Fujimoto-sensei could create, and the story is set in present-day but with a twist I've never seen before, and I thought it was very unique.

What do you think is the appeal of Power?

She has the worst personality, but you can't hate her. Also, I think what's appealing about her is that she's honest about her feelings. Usually, she says absurd things like "Let me kill people when I want to!" However, when Nyako is swallowed by Bat Devil, she openly expresses her feelings to Denji, saying "I understand your feelings." That kind of honesty is really charming.

Is there any way you personally connect with Power?

It would be bad if we could understand each other (laughs), but I think she would be me if I could say everything I wanted to say. For example, if you see a group of people walking spread out on a narrow street, you'd want them to move a little, right? I would say "excuse me," and then pass, but Power would say "Get out of the way, human!" and push through.

Do you have a message for the fans?

The anime has been made with excellent quality, it won't disappoint fans of the original work or new fans of the anime, so when you watch, please pay attention to each and every detail.

Translation notes:

Ai says 「チェンソーマン」は元々大好きな作品, which would directly translate to something like "Chainsaw Man has always been a work I love," or "Chainsaw Man has always been my favorite work," but that sounds unnatural in English, so I translated it to keep the same meaning while sounding more natural by saying "I've always loved Chainsaw Man".

Ai says という気持ちが強くなっていったんです, meaning her feeling became stronger, but I translated it to sound a bit more natural in English.

When Ai mentions Power's line in episode 2, I used the official English translation of the line instead of re-translating it from the interview.

Translated（笑） to (laughs).

By • Olalekan Fagbade JUST IN; Begging Federal Govt for my freedom is an insult – IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu speaks from custody       The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that begging the federal government to release him would be insultive to the memory of the late Pa Mbazulike Amaechi, who died while begging the FG for his (Kanu) freedom. The lead counsel to IPOB, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, disclosed this to newsmen in Owerri after they visited the detained leader at the detention facility of the State Security Services, SSS, in Abuja. In addition, he said the court of appeal had made a pronouncement freeing him given that, “it remains sacrosanct.” According to IPOB’s lawyer, “We visited our indefatigable Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on the 28th day of August 2023, to brief him on the various intervening actions taken by the legal team ably led by Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, to address pertinent concerns affecting his welfare and failure of the SSS to avail him of his medical records. “To this end, an application has been made to the Honourable Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory by our erudite Lead Counsel – Prof. Mike Ozekhome SAN, to appoint a Magistrate that will visit and inspect the SSS facility/cell where Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been held in solitary confinement since June 2021 till date, in pursuance to the relevant provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015. “Following the SSS’ refusal to avail Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu with his medical records, as directed by Hon. Justice Binta Nyako, in the judgment delivered on the 20th day of July 2023, our erudite Lead Counsel – Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, was compelled by this brazen disregard to an order of Court by the SSS, to initiate a contempt proceeding against the State Security Service (SSS) and her Director General, for this gross violation of positive Orders of Court. “Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu used the opportunity offered by the visit to extend his heartfelt gratitude to all people of good conscience and groups calling for his release. He however, observed that many people may not have understood the peculiarity of his case, but proceeded to urge us to clarify that he has been effectively and validly discharged by the judgment of the Court of Appeal, delivered on the 13th day of October 2022, which said judgment also prohibited his further trial and detention. Therefore, there is no charge pending against Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before any Court as of today. “Furthermore, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unequivocally stated that begging the Federal Government to release him at this point is an insult to the memory of late Pa Mbazulike Amaechi, who despite his age and ill health, repeatedly traveled from the South-East to Abuja, begging the Federal Government of Nigeria, to honor his dying wish, which request was treated with greatest disdain by the Federal Government, and was also not honored.” “Thus, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is of the firm view that he does not need to beg the FGN to release him. The Court of Appeal has already made a pronouncement in that regard and that pronouncement has remained sacrosanct to date. “Therefore, the call every person of goodwill should make in the circumstance of his continued illegal detention is for the Supreme Court to set down a date for the expeditious Hearing of the Appeal filed by the Federal Government, as provided for in the Criminal Appeals Practice Directions of the Supreme Court,” IPOB said. #custody #FederalGovt #NnamdiKanu
