#yes that is the akane in the background I am SORRY

[ai-kova]

peepaw looks like he might have just peeped the horrors but being a fun grandpa takes priority 👍 yaaaay

redraw of a great cursed image. I wish we had more interactions with these three they are so goofy to me!

[leweebdepoche]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Thanks....

Yes of course! I actually thought about writing a special review about my favorite characters : D guess it's the time to do it haha! I need to think about it though...

I have a top 3 for female characters that is like super classical, and Tbh I don't know what order to give them but here are my favorite female characters: Akane Tsunemori (psychopass), Shiki Ryougi (Kara no kyoukai), and Boa Hangkok (One piece).

For male characters, it's more complicated but I would go with a top 3 like that: L (death note), Kayden Break (Eleceed), and Itachi Uchiha (Naruto)

As for why I like them ~

Tsunemori Akane: she's in my opinion one of the most interesting and anti stereotypes female characters in animes. She's smart and has a sense of righteousness that makes her always question things to the core. She's determined and strong-willed but also sympathetic. One of the most important traits of her personality for me is that she accepts her own weaknesses and others', which makes her accept failure. She's a complex character that is never losing herself in achieving her goals, and that's something I really like in main characters. Her intelligence and sense of justice is her strength, and the way she embodies them with calm and determination makes her impressive. You respect her for who she is, a woman whom you can't step on easily to climb up.

Ryougi Shiki is more like your classical badass anime girl but her background with mental illness gives her a depth and darkness that makes her unique. My favorite characters are katana fighters so I know I'm not being objective here xD but fr she's like a straight-up dark badass and I'm all for it! Also, the duo she makes with Kokuto is the perfect balance for this anime, and certainly makes her own character so highlited in the anime. This apart, I also like her way to consider life, her approach to life and death, and the way she deals with emotions as if she was a sharpened knife makes her so different and interesting. If you want to describe creepy darkness with a character, then Shiki is your girl!

Boa Hancok, I love her for her incredible and unique feminine side. She that kind of woman. Sexy and strong, assuming her sexual desire, she impresses you and make you shy straight up if you're not prepared for it ! This powerful decomplexion of women sexuality is something I have never seen anywhere in animés ! And I think it is more than needed. The way she feels her emotions so passionately and her love too with no taboo makes me feel the freedom of being a woman that I would like to embody everyday... And again, that's still so rare. So yeah, I'm her first fan xD

I think overall through those 3 characters, you find a different approach to feminity with each, yet you will not find the things that I hate the most in female characters. They are interesting and strong in many different ways, and also their approaches to love and relationships are extremely interesting and most important, it isn't what defines them! So yes, without hesitation, they are for me the best female anime characters.

L: I'm sorry, I read all the Sherlock Holmes books a dozen times when I was young and am still reading them, so yes, a mind-blowing detective with a huge dose of weirdness is kind of my favorite... Though I want to underline that I do like L for his humanity. If there is someone who you can say they know what is the real weight of being a human being, that would be him. I am convinced that clairvoyance is more of a burden than a gift, and he is the definition of clairvoyance. Being able to see things through so easily is not only mind-blowing but tells a lot about his ability to read human beings. This also means he has a really really good observation skill and can translate it to human comprehension, which is actually his real talent. The way he's always suspected Light since the beginning shows how developed this skill is. So yes, L might seem unrealistic a character, I also think having such a character under the spotlight and people realizing that some human beings can actually think like that is also a good thing to be aware of subjects like autism (theory on L that he could be an Asperger...)

Kayden Break: I am sorry. I have nothing to say. He's just badass, strong, powerful, sexy... I just can't help but like him xD please forgive me for that straight hetero simping on a webtoon character T.T he's still a very good character though. I like his personality, his background, and his ability to laugh as much as he can be angry and beat up strong bad guys. He's a typical shonen character but he's really well built. His relationship with Jiwoo is one of my favorites btw, their duo is also very very good. You feel how much they care about each other and this is something needed. I also like master-apprentice relationships in stories so yeah, not objective at all, I just like him xD

Finishing on Itachi is the best way to end this review I believe. Itachi is one of the first anime characters that mind-blowing me. Again, full pacifist characters who can do anything to reach their actual final goal is the kind of character I like. Itachi believes in peace. And he will do anything to make it happen. He has his own way of considering things and doesn't wave when others are confronting him, even if they are his own family. This dedication to this goal anyone would look down on is something that I worship, and so far I haven't found a character that was able to embody this longing for peace better than him. I don't see the fact that Sasuke developed in such a bad way as a failure. Even in his death, he continued his fight, accepting his own failures too. I could write a book on Itachi ngl but I will stop there haha. I also know that adding him in my top 3 is kinda cliche, I am sorry for that but I don't think popular characters should be looked down on because of how popular they are. Itachi has all my respect!

I will make a better written and structured review for a top 10, I'm glad you asked me this! Feel free to ask me more questions or even react to it, I would be glad to discuss more this : D

[izur-x]

Can I please have Hajime,Akane and Nagito with s/o who’s the ultimate boxer(Juzo? Never herd of him-)

Please and thank you! 🥺

Ah yes! I can do that (and yes i heard of him 😧☝️‼️)

S/o who is an ultimate boxer

Pairing: Hajime/reader, akane/reader, nagito/reader

(y/p): your pronouns

Hajime Hinata

Totally admired you, i mean your an ultimate

I feel like you will be hajime bodyguard, since he being mocked for being reserve course student (nagito)

Totally feeling useless, not being able to protect you

Massages.

Remember that episode, when hajime trying to enter hope, and getting beat by juzo 💀

You were in class, looking out of the window since your sit literally besides it.

When you look down at the gate, and saw your boyfriend, you were wondering why is he doing in here, so you make an accuses to go to the bathroom, which is a lie go kokichi kinnie go

You're running in the hallway, since there is nobody, as fast as you could.

When you are finally arrived and see hajime in the ground and coughing up blood, you froze.

You kick juzo back causing him to fall "hey! What are yo-" "shouldn't i suppose to ask you that?" You glared him.

"s-s/o, you shouldn't be here!" Your eyes soften and walked towards hajime, you crouch's down and cupping hajime cheeks with your hands.

"are you still hurting? Where does it hurt? Please tell me, and let me treat you." Hajime saw juzo getting up and walks towards him and you.

"s/o! Behind y-"before juzo could hit you, you uses your right leg to attack and left one to support and spin causing him to falls again "argh! You stupid little kids!?" "Maybe i am stupid, but at least i treat the reserve course equally."

A adult men, who can fight scared for some student, have you heard of it?

You bring hajime inside of the hope peak, he is dying because it's his dream to be in hope peak, both of them arrived at nurse office, and begin to treat his wounds and clean his mouth from the blood.

"sorry hajime, i wasn't fast enough." "It's okay, your probably i class so.." "alright, come here" "huh?-" s/o pull hajime into a hug and rubbing his back.

He hugs back and burried him self into your neck.

Akane owari

I am sorry for the background

Trouble couple

They called you two that.

She's always challenging you to a fight.

Sometimes more like all the time nekomaru join you two making it worse

Third wheelers ! Nekomaru -my friend

You two would be a perfect couple, protecting each other from the danger.

"hey s/o!" "Oh hey akane!" Akane throwing her right arms to s/o and pulling (y/p) closer,"wanna practice together? Like usual!" "Sure! Let's go."

You two practicing outdoor so that the inside doesn't get damaged.

After practicing, you both made your ways to the dorm and showers.

You heard Knocking from the door "coming!" As you open the door and revealed your girlfriend "oh hey akane! Do you need something?"

She enter your dorm and sit on the bed "come here s/o! I want to cuddle!" You just stand there dumbfounded before she pull you to bed and cuddle.

There's nothing to struggle with

Nagito komaeda

Oh boy

Totally worshipping you

I mean you're an ultimate and he's a 'trash'

He doesn't like it when you were trying to protect him, because he the one who supposed to protecting you.

"s/o, i don't deserve yo-"

"yeah yeah, shut up." *Pick him up and leave the place*

You relationship is a bit toxic, but overall it's all healthy

He will give you a massages.

He will do anything for you, even the dangerous one

But you never ask him to do such a thing

When someone picking a fight with him, especially when you were around him, you immediately slap/punch them

"you know komaeda, you were right, (y/p) doesn't deserve someone trash like you, (y/p) should've be with m-" get punch.

Nagito just stand there and watching you punch them.

"never call him 'trash' ever again." You carry nagito in bridal style and leave the place

Sorry if i took it long, some app distracting me 😧

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun: After-School Radio #0

I have seen bits of the Hanako-kun radio show translated here and there, but never the entire episodes, so here’s to the people who wanted to know how the rest of them goes down. The whole thing is ridiculously funny.

Raw || Index || Next →

Ogata: Everyone... happy... New Year.

[Quiet chuckes]

Ogata: I’m the one who voices Hanako-kun from “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun”, Ogata Megumi.

Akarin: *giggles*

Ogata: I was—

Yuu-kun: What’d you say?

Everyone: *laughs*

Yuu-kun: Sorry, what’d you say??

Chikape: Cut it out, Handsome.

Ogata: You’re such a clown, huh! I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! I was put under a spell that took away my voice for today.

Akarin: A supernatural! A supernatural! It was a supernatural!

Ogata: I’ll leave the progress of things to Yashiro from now. Here. Counting on you, Yashiro!

Akarin: Yes!

Everyone: *laughs*

Akarin: Ah! Ogata-san has stood up from her seat. *laughs*

ChibaShou: If it was a supernatural’s fault, there’s just no helping it!

Akarin: It was a supernatural’s fault.

Yuu-kun: Hey, hey, go on!

Akarin: Yes! Anyway! Hello, all!

Everyone: Hello!

Akarin: I voice Yashiro Nene from “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun”. My name is Kitou Akari! Also, happy New Year! Cheers!

[Applause]

Akarin: Eh, the very popular original work by AidaIro-sensei, serialized in G Fantasy, “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun”, will finally have the first episode of its much-awaited anime adaptation broadcasting from next week onward, on January 9! For those who can’t wait for it to air, today, I, Kitou Akari, who play the role of Yashiro Nene, am intruding into the studio in the middle of the recording, to ask everyone in the cast about their passion for it! Yaaay!

[Cheering]

Akarin: It’s already clear that it’s pretty lively here, though!

Yuu-kun: Thanks!

Akarin: *laughs*

Staff: Aren’t you the same?

Akarin: True. That’s right. I’m the same. *laughs* Talki—Talking like that to your Senpai— *laughs* That’s true. It’s a bit—

Ogata: *whispers* Yashiro, take it seriously!

Akarin: *laughs*

Yuu-kun: She ain’t taking it seriously!

Satou: She is! Come on!

ChibaShou: It’s a supernatural! A supernatural just came by!

Satou: A supernatural is doing this!

Akarin: A supernatural passed us just now. *laughs* Okay, anyway. Well, let’s get right to it. Eh, then, first... I want to ask about the enthusiasm of Kou’s voice actor—

ChibaShou: YES!!!

Chikape: Whoa! He’s so eager!

Akarin: *laughs* Chiba Shouya-san!

ChibaShou: Yes!

Akarin: Chiba-san, how about it?

ChibaShou: Please stop playing around like I’m so cool when we’re at a stage where I haven’t said a single line yet!

Akarin: *laughs*

ChibaShou: That’s a pretty good retort! Hum—

Ogata: The one who played around was Mizushima Takahiro!

Akarin/ChibaShou: *laugh*

ChibaShou: That’s right. It was Mizushima-san. Hum, speaking of Mizushima-san, I’m Chiba Shouya!

Akarin: *laughs harder*

ChibaShou: Hum, I voice Minamoto Kou. My name is Chiba Shouya. Everyone, happy New Year!

Akarin: Cheers!

ChibaShou: Cheers. Man, seriously. This was such a long-awaited anime adaptation.

Akarin: Hm-hm!

ChibaShou: Ever since this work was announced, as expected, each of the viewers were like, “Ah! That thing’s gonna get animated!”, so it seems this series is truly loved by people of many age groups.

Akarin: Right?

ChibaShou: Anyhow, the more you read it, the more you become a captive of it! Hum, for me, this year is coming after a bad one...

Akari: Oh!

ChibaShou: Erm, things are going horribly...

Akari: “Horribly”... *giggles* Huh? That’s awful.

ChibaShou: Kou-kun has really been exorcising all of it this whole time.

Akari: Oooh.

ChibaShou: Because he says in the PV, “Hanako, I’ll exorcise you”.

Akarin: Hehe, true.

ChibaShou: So maybe he’s exorcising my bad year too.

Akarin: Whoa!

ChibaShou: That’s what I think.

Akarin: You said something kinda smart. *laughs*

Yuu-kun: *laughs* Aaaah...

Akarin: You said something smart.

Yuu-kun: He said something good.

Akarin: *giggles*

ChibaShou: Hum, I’m the first, so I’m just contemplating. Being the first in turn and all.

Akarin: *laughs*

ChibaShou: Hum, but anyway, for real, I want a lot of people to watch it.

Akarin: Yep!

ChibaShou: And we’re very... how should I put it? We’re recording a fun series with a fun atmosphere.

Akarin: Yep, yep!

ChibaShou: That’s why I kinda guess it’ll be a fun start of 2020 for the people watching. So please do look forward to the broadcast every week together with us! We’ll be in your care.

Akarin: All right!

ChibaShou: That’s it.

Akarin: Thank you very muuuch!

[Applause]

Akarin: Okay! Anyway! Then, next is... Uchida-saaan!

Yuu-kun: Yeees! Heeere! Hellooo!

Akarin: Welcooome! Hellooo!

Yuu-kun: ‘Ello, thanks!

Everyone: *laughs*

Yuu-kun: Ever since this thing started, my “little brother” has been kinda—my “little brother” has been kinda—

Akarin: *laughs*

Chikape: You’re stammering!

Yuu-kun: *laughs*

Chikape: Sorry!

Yuu-kun: Now the older brother—the older brother is here!

Akarin: Oh! Onii-chan!

Yuu-kun: Hello. I voice Minamoto Teru. My name is Uchida Yuuma.

Chikape: Onii-chaaan!

Akarin: Counting on you.

Yuu-kun: Yeees, I’m in your care~. There’s an (illustration of the) Onii-chan right behind me too~.

Daichuu: So handsome!

Akarin: Handsome!

Yuu-kun: Of course you’d bring that up!

Everyone: *laughs*

ChibaShou: We’d already been saying it since earlier!

Yuu-kun: Of course you’d bring that up! What kind of malice is this?

Akarin: It’s because the Onii-chan is indeed handsome!

Yuu-kun: Oh, yeah, yeah. The Onii-chan is really handsome.

Akarin: That’s right!

Yuu-kun: You see, in the Minamoto family, Kou is still quite a lively kid and he’s all over the place.

Akarin: Hm-hm!

Yuu-kun: So the brother watches over him gently, kind of as if cherishing him, and by God, he’s also student council president and can manage his studies well.

Akarin: Hm! He’s brilliant.

Chikape: Wow!

Yuu-kun: What a brilliant Onii-chan he is.

Daichuu: He’s gotta be popular!

Akarin: *laughs*

Yuu-kun: “Popular”! *wheezes* My bad!

Akarin: He’s definitely popular.

Yuu-kun: *villain voice* M-My bad!

Everyone: *laughs*

Yuu-kun: My bad, Kou! *evil laughter* Well, he’s not that kind of character, though! But, that’s right, he has quite some popularity amongst all the fans, so I keep thinking that it’ll be great if I can perform Teru-kun well. The pop-like and cute worldview of the series really does unravel in the anime too, so it’d make me happy if people could look forward to it! That’s what I think.

Akarin: Hm-hm!

Yuu-kun: Yes, I hope everyone will look forward to “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun”~~~!

Akarin: All right~.

Yuu-kun: Thank you very much!

Akarin: Thank you very much. *claps*

ChibaShou: *Kou voice* Onii-chan just said something nice!

Yuu-kun: That’s right! *rough voice* Praise me, praise me!

Akarin: *laughs*

ChibaShou: Awesome!

Yuu-kun: See ya! Bye!

ChibaShou: “Farewell” seems better!

Yuu-kun: Farewell!

Akarin: “Farewell”! *laughs* Farewell. Then, next is Satou-san!

Satou: Yes!

Akarin: Come over, come over!

[General cheering]

Satou: I’m in your care~.

Akarin: Please!

Satou: Yes. Erm, I play Akane Aoi-chan. My name is Satou Minako.

Akarin: It’s a pleasure!

Satou: Pleasure is mine.

Chikape: Eeeh, she’s so cute!

Akarin: Cute! *laughs*

Satou: Eh, hum—

Everyone: *laughs*

ChibaShou: Radio! It’s your first time on the radio, right?

Satou: Yeah, it’s my first time in a radio show—

Akarin: Ah!

Chikape: Ah! Eeeh!? Waaah! Yaaay!

Akarin: Amazing!

Satou: Yes! It’s amazing. My first!

[Commontion in the background]

Akarin: That’s so rare! Having your first time on the radio with a scene like this!

Satou: Yes. I’m super nervous!

Akarin: It’s not a sight you get to see everywhere.

Satou: Yes! I’m incredibly nervous.

Akarin: Hm!

Satou: Erm, “Hanako-kun” is my first participation in an anime—

Akarin: Oh!

Yuu-kun: Eeh??

Akarin: Waah!

Satou: Yes! I didn’t know left or right at the beginning, and even now—

Daichuu: You still don’t know?

Satou: I don’t! I don’t know where right or left is!

Akarin: Right is... Right is that way~.

ChibaShou: There’s only the right side in here!

Everyone: *laughs*

Satou: I get nervous even now, but I keep challenging the recordings while being helped by these Senpais and the people behind the production every time.

Akarin: Hm-hm!

Satou: The one I play, Akane Aoi-chan is the most super popular girl in the academy.

Akarin: She’s cute!

Satou: Very. And I—

Akarin: Both so popular!

Everyone: *laughs*

Satou: There’s both a popular girl and popular guy here. And she’s quite different from me, but—

Akarin: No, no!

Satou: —I want to do my best from now on too, so that I can keep performing Ao-chan with all my might!

Akarin: All right!

Satou: I’ll be in your care.

Akarin: Counting on you!

[Applause]

Akarin: Thank you so much! Then, next is Anzai-san!

Chikape: Yes!

Akarin: Please!

Daichuu: Ah. Cute.

Chikape: I voice Nanamine Sakur—you liar!

Akarin: “Cute”! *laughs*

Chikape: You liar! That was such a monotone!

ChibaShou: Hey, beauty!

Chikape: Liar!

Ogata: There are only supernaturals in this studio!

Everyone: *laughs*

Ogata: Only “supernaturals”!

T/N: This is a pun with the similar pronounciation of the words “supernatural” (kaii) and “cute” (kawaii).

Akarin: “Supernatural”~.

Yuu-kun: They called her a “supernatural”~.

Chikape: It’s full of “supernaturals” here~. I voice Nanamine Sakura. My name is Anzai~! Yay~!

[Cheering]

Akarin: Counting on you!

Chikape: Hum, today, Mizushima-san and I were revealed as part of the cast.

Akarin: Ah! That’s right.

Daichuu: Yeah.

Yuu-kun: Hm-hm!

Chikape: Right. Well, we can’t talk much about what kind of roles they will be. *chuckles*

Akarin: Hmmm, true.

Chikape: That’s right. We’re in charge of two mysterious figures!

Akarin: Yes! *laughs*

Chikape: I want to keep this up mysteriously!

Everyone: *laughs*

Akarin: That’s just like them!

ChibaShou: Can’t tell what’s on the inside!

Chikape: But really, she’s kind of occasionally here and there all of a sudden, and it just makes you go, “Uh, could she be...?”

Akarin: That’s true.

Chikape: So I hope people will eventually become a bit interested in her.

Akarin: Hm-hm.

Chikape: The recordings are fun. *laughs*

Akarin: *laughs* Right~?

Chikape: It’s fun. We always do it like this, don’t we? *laughs*

Akarin: Right~? *laughs*

Chikape: Is it enough yet?

Everyone: *laughs*

Akarin: Nothing else to say about your enthusiasm?

Chikape: None at all, none at all!

Akarin: “None at all”?

Chikape: From now on—

ChibaShou: What kind of year do you want this year to be?

Chikape: What kind of year I want this year to be? An olympic...

Everyone: *laughs*

Chikape: An olympic year??

T/N: This has to be the most ironic thing I’ve ever translated, omg.

ChibaShou: That’s got nothing to do with the series!

Chikape: Ah, the series? For the series, let’s see...

Daichuu: May it become a series worthy of a gold medal.

Chikape: Ah, that’s right!

Akarin: Aaah!

Chikape: *claps* As expected of you~~~!

Akarin: *claps* As expected of you!

Chikape: I hope we can convey this joy right now to everybody through the anime.

Akarin: That’s right!

Chikape: We’ll be in your care. Look forward to it! Wey!

Akarin: Thank you very muuuch!

[Applause]

Akarin: Now, Mizushima-san!

Chikape: Yay, yay!

Daichuu: Yes!

Akarin: Daichuu-san, counting on you!

Daichuu: I’ll be in your care. Haah~!

Chikape: Whoo! So cool!

Everyone: Cool~~~!

ChibaShou: Coo-coo!

Daichuu: For real?

Everyone: *laughs*

Daichuu: Do you think that from the bottom of your hearts? Do you?

ChibaShou: He seems pretty happy.

Daichuu: Then I am.

Akarin: Yes.

Everyone: *laughs*

Daichuu: Okay, eeeeeh... I play Hyuuga Natsuhiko. My name is Mizushima Takahiro!

Akarin: All right, counting on you!

Daichuu: Okaaay!

ChibaShou: Yay~!

Chikape: Whee~!

Daichuu: Man, it makes your heart race, doesn’t it? That the show will soon be running.

Akarin: Hm-hm!

Daichuu: And also the fact that we’re now here—we’re now here, in a situation like this.

Akarin: “In a situation like this”?! *laughs*

Daichuu: My heart’s racing right now.

Chikape: This isn’t some matchmaking date!

Daichuu: Eh, it’s not? I think this whole thing about being interviewed by Kitou-chan...

Akarin: *laughs*

Daichuu: ...is kind of... really nice.

Akarin: Ah, really?

Daichuu: Hm.

Akarin: What are your hobbies?

Daichuu: My hobby is—

Ogata: To create an air of misunderstandings.

Everyone: *laughs*

Daichuu: My hobby is Akari Kitou, I guess.

Akarin: Uh? Your hobby is me?

Chikape: Shouya, run.

Akarin: *laughs*

Chikape: Hurry and run away~.

Daichuu: No, this is my role! My role! I’m incorporating my role!

Akarin: “Incorporating your role”?

ChibaShou: Your role is already showing!

Akarin: Ah, you’re in your role?

Daichuu: Yeah, I incorporated it a bit too hard.

Akarin: You’re in your role, huh. I see.

Satou: We’re in a recording site, after all!

Daichuu: Erm, might kinda happen when I get in front of a microphone.

Akarin: Indeed.

Ogata: *whispers* Liar!

Daichuu: It’s part of me—

Akarin: “Liar”, she says!

Satou: “Liar”!?

ChibaShou: *laughs*

Akarin: Ogata-san is calling you a liar!

Ogata: *whispers lower* Liar!

Yuu-kun: *laughs*

Daichuu: Eh, Ogata-san, what was that?

Ogata: *gets close to the mic* Liaaaaaar!

Everyone: *laughs and claps*

Daichuu: Please just re—

Akarin: Daichuu-san.

Daichuu: Please—please rest. Please go rest.

Akarin: Please let her rest. *laughs*

Daichuu: That’s right. Okay, anyway. Well, the recordings are really like this—I mean, they’re not that messy, but they’re extremely fun.

Akarin: Hm-Hm!

Daichuu: And it’s almost like it leaks from the series. So the serious part of it is hoping that people will enjoy it like this, I guess.

Akarin: Hm-hm.

Daichuu: Also... what was it again? I’m... what again?

Akarin: *giggles*

Yuu-kun: You’re what?

Daichuu: Eeeh, anywaaay...

Akarin: What is it?

Daichuu: Anyway, I’m... thinking of chopping Chiba to shreds.

Chikape: What do you mean?!

Akarin: *laughs*

Daichuu: In a cool way.

ChibaShou: I’m gonna be chopped up!

Daichuu: I’m gonna chop you up.

Akarin: *laughing* “Chop you up”...

T/N: This is a joke with Chiba Shouya’s name and the term “chop up” (“chibachiba”).

Daichuu: *laughs* Really, none of the things I’m saying have substance!

Akarin/ChibaShou: *laugh*

Daichuu: But this is how it is! This is it.

Akarin: This is it!

Daichuu: Yes!

Chikape: We won’t lose!

Daichuu: That’s right!

Akarin: That’s true, indeed.

Daichuu: Story-wise, we’re still not there, I really want people to look forward to us.

Akarin: Hm-hm.

Daichuu: That’s how I want to conclude it.

Akarin: *laughs*

Daichuu: Anyway, I’ll... I’ll be gone.

Akarin: “I’ll”... *laughs*

Daichuu: Thank you very much!

Akarin: Ah, you’re leaving?

Chikape: Please don’t create a misunderstanding.

Daichuu: Yes! Well, we’ll be in your care~~~!

Akarin: So we will!

[Applause]

Staff: Now, the last is... Kitou-san.

Akarin: Ah! Is that okay?

Staff: Yes.

Ogata: Yashiro!

Akarin: Ah!

Ogata: Go, Yashiro!

Akarin: “Yashiro”...! Can Yashiro... Can Yashiro also speak? *laughs*

Enforcer! Ginoza Nobuchika X female reader [NF NSFW]

~Your point of view~

It was time to roll out. A high crime coefficient was picked up by the scanners and we were to deal with it. The van which we enforcers were seated in started to move, driving towards our destination. I stare in front of me, looking down at the trucks floor. On my right sat Ginoza and my left was Karin. I sigh and look at the other three in front of me. I was new but it was already my tenth time out on the field. The inside of the truck was silent until we arrived.

The truck comes to a stop and the back opens with a sound like when you open a can of coke. Ginoza stands up and walks out, I follow after him with Karin behind me and the other two. I follow Ginoza to Akane, as we stand around her. Mika looked us over again like always and seeming to scoff at seeing me. For some odd reason she never did like me but I never knew why. Maybe I had done something to her, maybe she just plainly didn't like me. But all I know is that she hated me for being below her. It wasn't my fault I was given this option or be locked in a cell for the rest of my life. Not everyone can control what the Sibyl labels them as. Ginoza looks calmly over at them with his grey steel eyes.

"We have a high crime coefficient alert. The street scanners tracked him as he ran off into this building block." My mind wanders, this sounded exactly like my first time on the field. I look around at the people I'm working with. Eyes stalling on my boyfriend Ginoza. His black hair tied back was slightly messy, his silver eyes were sharp and cold as he took in the information Akane was saying. Even his clothing fitted him well.

They all lift their wrists up looking at the small screen to see who our target was. Of course I wasn't paying attention but all I basically had to do was follow the detonators. It was a sad way of life if normal people actual thought of it, chained to something that is ultimately trapping them.

We all lived by the system, telling us the best way to be happy and how we could live a fulfilled life. Does anyone really think that we are having a life? "Let's move out!" Akane orders.

"(Y/n) follow behind me." Ginoza states, running after Akane as the others go to run around the building.

I could almost sigh in relief at being on Ginoza team. I start to laugh at the mere thought before Ginoza gives me a small glare as we follow in after Akane. I roll my eyes and direct the denominator around me, seeing if anyone was there. A voice comes from Akane's earpiece, "Shepard 2 to Shepard 1, we found the criminal, what do you want us to do now?"

"Send us your location and we'll trap him before shooting him. Stay out of sight." Akane orders, her tone different than when we are back at the office. She changes directions and runs to the left of the t-junction, heading towards the other group. Ginoza and I just stayed by her side, our denominators pointing down every ally in case another latent criminal was there.

"Keep it up (y/n), your doing a great job so far." Ginoza praises as we finally reach the other group, we crouch behind some random items, Akane behind two barrels, Ginoza behind a pile of steel beams and myself behind the corner of the wall.

"Shepard 1 to Shepard 2," Akane states in a whispered tone to her bracelet, "We are in position."

I move up to Ginoza hiding behind the beams for a better sighting. "We have a hostage situation, we'll end up shooting both of them." Ginoza mutters looking a head of him where in the distance the shaking figure of a man can be seen with a more crouched figure on the floor.

"Mmm." I hum, thinking about the different ways we can take it. "We can't afford any rash decisions or the hostage will be put at risk."

Akane stayed behind us listening as we conversed the different tactics, repeating our ideas to the other team. "Shepard 2 to Hound 6." I almost jumped at the sudden interest the new inspector was taking in me. "I need you to silently get behind the criminal and shoot, making sure to leave the hostage alone unless the denominator says so." It was ordered of me.

I tch, this was a bad idea. If I as much as reveal myself away from here than we all are revealed meaning he knows our positions. "Yes ma'am." I say, ending my end of the call, "Akane, Gino, is it a good idea?" I ask, wanting to confirm my suspicions.

"They can't shoot from where they are, either they have been revealed or their in an awkward spot." Akane states, thinking through as well, "Do it."

I narrow my eyes, this guy was dangerous, his crime coefficient was crazy high and I was being sent in alone. "Stay safe, I'll cover you." Ginoza whispers, patting my back. I just nod my head, trying to ignore the heat rising to my face. I was acting very unprofessional for something I'm just about to do.

I sneak along the wall, pointing my denominator at him, waiting for him to be within range. "Crime coefficient 326, weapon recalculating, lethal denominator being used." Damn, I really hated using lethal denominator, I was fine shooting but I had a weak stomach when it came to seeing them explode like that.

"Aim carefully and pull the trigger." The robotic voice of the system spoke. I take a shaky breath, his guy was insane, nothing was going to help him on. I squeeze the trigger and let it shoot the guy, the deadly energy used running from his middle back upwards, expanding the skin and muscles outwards until they exploded, covering the hostage and the walls with pieces of himself. His lover half sunk to the floor as the hostage cry's out.

A young boy. A young boy had been taken hostage, I really hope his coefficient wasn't too high, nor his hue clouded. I hear the footsteps of Ginoza and Akane running up behind me but before they can reach me I sprint forwards to the young boy, his cries reminding me so much like my younger brother's.

I read the small figure curled upon the ground covered in blood and kneel. I look forward and just see the other team up higher, no wonder they sent one of us in cause the angle was too much. I shrug my jacket off and take the handkerchief I always have on me out of one of the pockets. I lean over the boy and start to wipe his face clean of blood not bothering to check his crime coefficient.

"Hey shhh. Little one." I mutter, dropping the handkerchief behind me, "Your safe now." The rest of him was bloody and his (h/c) hair was mattered. The boy whimpers so I wrap him in my jacket and cradle him on my lap, rocking back and forth to calm him. "You're alright. You're safe." I mutter over and over as Ginoza comes to stand in front of me, pointing the denominator at the kid.

"Rui (l/n), crime coefficient 156, paralyzer denominator will be use." The system speaks, sending shocks through my body.

"Rui oh Rui." I mutter, "Don't worry, big sister will look after you, nothing will hurt you again." I glare up at Ginoza hoping he doesn't squeeze the trigger.

"Aim carefully and shoot the target." I quickly turn my back to Ginoza, "(y/n) (l/n), willing enforcer, paralyzer denominator will be used."

"(Y/n), I know how much this hurts but we have to do it." Ginoza states, keeping the denominator trained on me. "Your crime coefficient is climbing higher than it's been in the past, you've broken into the 300's"

"Yours did as well when you saw your father murdered, it makes sense for mine to as well!" I shout, stress and worry building up inside me. Rui started crying again so I rocked back and forth making shushing noises to quieten him down. "He's only seven for god's sake. He can't do no harm."

"That doesn't matter." It was Mika this time, her voice cold and harsh as if she had no heart.

"He's stressed and tired okay, see check again." I growl as I turn around part way, allowing the denominator to catch a hold of his coefficient.

"Crime coefficient 150, paralyzer denominator will be used." The system states, making Ginoza narrow his eyes and tighten his fingers over the trigger.

I growl lowly, “You pull that trigger and I will never forgive you.”

"I see you two have some thing to sort out." Akane finally speaks up, deciding to reach the two of us. "Now (y/n)." She addresses me, “We have to use the denominator on him.”

I stand up, clutching him against me, “No. He's my brother. I'll take the fall for him. Leave him alone!”

Akane sighs, “(y/n), you will be punished for doing this.”

“Like I care.” I shot back, “I've been locked up my whole life, no way am I allowing my brother to have that same treatment.”

“Very well then.” Akane thins her lips, “Let's go.”

I carry Rui, unable to let go of him. I lean my check against his bloody hair and hum quietly, not just for wanting him to relax and go to sleep but also for myself to calm down. “I have to return him.”

“I'm sorry (y/n) but I can't let you go to your family. They have to come to the department to collect him.” Akane apologizes from the front.

"(Y/n) I want to come with you and see your family." Ginoza suddenly speaks up as we walk back.

Akane, speaking with the other team over call ignores our conversation completely. "I'll let you return him personally.”

“Thank you Akane for letting me return him to my family." I thank.

Akane just nods as we walk forwards in comfortable silence. We regroup with the others and Akane tells them what we're going to do before the three if us piling into her car. This was easier for us as we had to go to the lobby while the others went underground. Rui fell asleep by the time we got onto the road and so I took this as a chance to ask Ginoza a question that was on my kind, "Why did you want to come?"

"I cannot reveal that just yet, you'll have to wait and see til we get there."

I scoff, "Well it's going to have to wait until I get Rui cleaned up." I state, focusing on my little brother sleeping.

Ginoza mutter something under his breath but I pay no heed, focusing on cleaning Rui up as best as I can. I could hear Akane in the background on the phone contacting the department and my parents..

The car slows to a stop, "(y/n) we're here." Akane says, opening the car door and exiting.

"Here let me carry him.' Ginoza offers, standing by the open car door. I look up from Rui and at Ginoza who patiently waited for my answer. Sighing I hand Rui over, exiting the car after Rui.

“Your parents will be here in 10 mintues.” Akane informs me as she leads us inside, her car locking and cleaning itself automatically. The lobby was the same as usual, some couches, a desk with workers and the elevator. We sit on the couch, Rui being laid down with his head on my lap and myself leaning against Gino, Akane sat across from us. “(Y/n), I fear you may be returned back behind bars.”

I furrow my eyebrows, confused as to why. “Is this because of Rui?” Akane just nods, “But it would depend on the system right?”

This time Akane shakes her head. “This is your last time on the job. After this you'll be returned because you are a threat to the system.”

“And all because I wouldn't let Rui get shot.” I sigh, it wasn't like I didn't expect this. After all, I was dangerous from the beginning. “Well, it was nice working with you Akane, and you too Gino.”

Gino didn't say anything from beside me beside putting an arm around my shoulders and bringing me in closer. Akane just hums, “It should only be for a short while, I'll see if I can get you a short time as you're a valuable asset on a case.”

I smile at her. “Thank you.”

"(y/n)!" The familiar voice of my parents reach my ears. Turning around I greet their tear stained faces.

"Mum. Dad." I stand and walk over to them, Akane trailing behind with Ginoza. "How are you?"

"Rui's missing, he was taken when he was walking home!" My mum exclaims, clinging onto my arm, "You have to find him."

"Mrs (l/N)," Akane speaks up, bowing besides me.

My parents bow in return before she next speaks, "Are you the inspector our daughter speaks of?"

Akane smiles at me so I look to the ground, not willing to agree nor confess that I had been telling my parents everything. Akane just laughs and smiles, "You have no need to worry, (y/n) found him already." Ginoza stands beside me holding Rui in his arms gently.

"Here you are, he's safe and sound asleep." Ginoza steps over to my dad and hands him over."

"Oh Rui..." My mum sighs, stroking his hair out of his face.

“Thank you, but how did you know?” Dad asks as we all take a seat, "We would also like to get to know the people working with our daughter."

Akane smiles gently, "It was (y/n)'s instincts really, before any of the detonators knew she did."

Mum smiles her knowing smile, “That was always (y/n)'s thing, being able to know who someone was after meeting them.”

Akane nods, after seeing me in the field she knew it was true. After all, too much passion puts you under lock and key.

"Your family is nice." Ginoza mutters, lost deep in thought, "I'm glad a nice family brought you up."

I chuckle and lay a hand on his shoulder, "My family is yours if you need somewhere to come to." I say, even though I know full well we can't leave the MWPSD without an inspector.

Ginoza sends me a weak smile before looking at my smiling parents talking happily with Akane., "Okay, and also when we get back meet me in my room."

"Okay." I say with a smiling, hoping that it's to say what I hope.

I can hear my mum doting over Akane, most likely hoping to make a good impression.

"Okay mum, dad." I say, focusing my attention on the two who brought me into the world. I was always happy that they still loved me after everything I had put them through. "These are my co-workers and who I hope I can call friends." I nod my head at each, "Ginoza here has been looking after me and Akane here making sure I don't fall into any trouble."

"So your the man who our daughter has spoken of so fondly, When we talk she never seems to stop talking about you." Mum exclaims, making me blush a bright red.

"Mum!!" I whine, not wanting Ginoza to find out.

"I'm glad she has someone beside her like you to look after her." My dad speaks, seeming okay with Ginoza, "But don't go breaking her heart whatever you do." He threatens.

"I can't think of such a thing, she is a good enforcer, and someone who I want working beside me." He praises, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and pulling me against his side.

Akane's bracelet starts to ring, signalling that someone's calling, "Excuse me for a moment, I need to take this." She stands up and makes her way outside. A comfortable silence fills the room with breaks of idle chatter, "We must be on our way now, thank you for coming to pick up Rui Mr and Mrs (l/n)."

"There's no need to thank us dear, we should be thanking you for keeping our daughter out of trouble." My parents wave of her thanks, being supportive of my choice after the accident happened. "And it's nice to know our daughter other half too, we hope to see you two again sometime with some good news." Mum winks at me and Gino, hinting at something that I didn't want to know.

"Bye mum, bye dad." I hug the two of them goodbye, "Say bye to Rui for me." I wave goodbye to them as I watch them leave, like every time I had seen them.

"Lets head back." Akane says, standing up and ushering us into the elevator. We made our way up, idle chatter filling the elevator as well as chatter about some of the cases we have yet to close. Upon reaching the floor we split, Akane going back to our department office to finish some work while Ginoza went off somewhere else. I was off duty for the mean time and so had some time to spare before Ginoza came off duty.

I wonder up to the restaurant and sit down at one of the tables overlooking the city. It was a beautiful sight but it could be made even better if Ginoza was sitting with me. "What would you like to order?" A waiter asks, suddenly appearing by my side.

"I'll just have (f/d)." You say, hoping to have dinner with him.

The waiter bows before heading back into the kitchen to tell the chief. Moment later he comes out holding a tray with my drink on it. It looked strange. My lone drink on a large tray without anything else. It felt like it was showing what was happening to me right now. "Here you are." The waiter places the drink down on the table before leaving to go back into the kitchen.

"Hello (y/n)," The deep voice of Ginoza floated into my ears.

I turn around in my chair quickly, watching Ginoza take the chair in front of me. The candle in the middle of the table created shadows on his face as he looked back at me. His eyes narrowed as he studies me. He nods his head and smiles gently, his cold exterior disappearing once it's only the two of us. "So you did make it." I mutter, smiling back at him. He finished earlier then he said he would.

He nods his head, "I can wait til you finish your drink though." He suggests, folding his hands in front of him.

I nod my head once as I sip the drink, curious about what he wants to do. I was sorta hoping that it might be that. 'But if it wasn't than would I have take dominance if he didn't want it? Or maybe he did and be was just covering it well? I don't know.' I huff, glaring towards my drink. A dry chuckle leaves Ginoza's lips as I look up, finishing the drink.

"Follow me." He says somewhat coldly, yet still with warmth in his voice. I smile up at him and bound along beside him, wonder what he had planned for the two of us.

As we enter his apartment within the MWPSB, his Siberian husky Dime comes to greet us, his tail wagging friendly as he barks his greeting. Laughing joyfully I sit down, rubbing my hands along Dime, "Hello boy," I coo, hugging the dog. "How have you been boy?"

All I get in return is his barks of joy as I laugh from him licking the side of my cheek.

"Come on Dime, let (y/n) up." Ginoza asks, patting the couch for him to jump on to. "That's a good boy. Now (y/n) follow me to where tea will be served."

~Time Skip~

I sat at the table laughing as Gino cleaned the dirty plates. He finishes and the draining of water is heard as Ginoza wraps his arms around me, resting his cheek on the top of my head. "So what's so special about today Gino?" I ask, smiling and relaxing into his arms.

"It's our six month anniversary and I want to show you something." He places a chaste kiss to the top of my head before taking my hand and letting me stand up before leading me to his bedroom. "Wait here." He let's go of my hand and enters his bedroom, sitting the door and blocking my view. After a few mintues I hear his voice. "Come in."

Opening the door I could've dropped dead. The room was dark and lit by several candles. In the dim light I could see a heart shaped bed with red rose petals scattered all over it and on the floor. Laying on the bed like the god he's built like is a shirtless Ginoza. My jaw drops as I scan his shirtless body. Sure I had seen him shirtless plenty of times and sure we had done it a couple of times before, but it was nothing as romantic as this. He seemed to of pulled out all the stops for this one night.

"Wow." I sigh, watching his muscles ripple as he sits up, gesturing me to walk closer. Once I was within arm reach he wraps an arm around my waist and pull me in quickly. Making me fall on top of him as his back hits the bed, our lips connect and an explosion of colours happen. It was heated and lust filled. We gasped for breaths many times during the kiss, not being able to get enough of each other.

He breaks the kiss off, touching our noses together he smiles, "You won't ever forget this night." He mumbles, kissing me again. This time is was calmer. Almost like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Our lips hit gently and run along each other as our tongues prob the other's, tangling and twisting in a dance neither of us understand. It was like the world just fell away all that was there was Gino.

Sighing happily into the kiss I let my fingers trail along his chest and muscles, tapping here and there and rubbing in other places. Opening my eyes I look down at him, breaking the sweetest loving kiss off far too early. I rub a thumb along his cheek bone, gazing into his eyes. I realize just how much I love the man underneath me. My heart swells with love at each gaze, even the simplest touch sends electricity running through my veins.

"I love you Gino." I smile, rubbing our noses together and entangling our fingers and legs.

Ginoza smiles back, laughing a small bit. His attitude was different from his serious work attitude. He was caring and loving and just what any girl wished her boyfriend to be. "And I to you my love." He places a kiss to my jaw line, his fingers leaving mine to play with the hem of my shirt.

Sitting up I take my shirt off, before smashing our lips together, knotting his hair around my fingers. Oh how I truly desired this man. If it was a sin to love a man like this than I would be a proud sinner.

"Ginoza~" I moan, enjoying the kiss with him.

His hands come up my back and snap the back of my bra, pulling it away from my body without breaking the kiss. His next step was my pants, which came off with no effort. Panting I break the kiss, gulping air down like a fish out of water.

His hands trail along my hips and stomach, tracing patterns and making me giggle softly. I get to work on his pant's buckle, taking his belt off and unzipping his pants I drop them to the floor with my clothes. Almost near naked we both attack each others lips again, his hands exploring my body and squishing my breasts and pinching my sides and insides of thighs, wanting every desirable noise he can get out of me. Grinding his pelvis against mine I can feel how hard he had became in this short amount of time.

Breaking off the kiss once again he flips us over, kissing down my jawline and to my collarbones, nipping at the skin just enough to leave a mark that shows others that I'm his. My fingers dig into his shoulders as his lips enclose around one of my nipples. I start to get wet as my need for him grows.

Maybe it was how the room was presented? Maybe how he was acting? Maybe he did something to my food? Whatever caused me to act like this was very strange as I have never acted like this before. I moan as Ginoza's teeth scrape the sensitive skin, causing my back to arch. Fiddling with my underwear he drags the cloth down, his fingers ever so lightly brushing my skin. Leaving hot molten trails along my legs as the underwear is dropped to the ground. Now I was completely naked in front of him.

He pulls away and gazes down at my sweating form beneath him. My thighs rubbing together to receive some of the tension in which my boyfriend had given me. My face flushed red from need. He caresses my cheeks as he just gazes down. Almost like he was awestruck at what he can turn me into.

"Beautiful." Ginoza mutters, kissing my lips as he allows my fingers to get back to work on his pants, his constant grinding into my pelvis and hands was making it hard to concentrate as with each grind I lost my mind. The want was so strong that I just ripped them from his body and chucked them onto the ground, flipping us over once again I take command and sit on his pelvis. Grinding on him as I grew wetter, leaving a wet patch on his boxers from where I sat.

Groaning beneath me he grips a hand on my hip and does a small jerk of his hips. His clothed dick rubbing ever so wonderfully against me. I moan as I grind harder, wanting more of the delightful friction. He pushes my head down with his robotic arm and slams our lips together, the fever inside both of us growing more wild with each moment passed of contact.

We both groan into the kiss, unable to get enough. His fingers knot into my hair as our lips move harshly against each other, almost as if we were trying to devour each other we wanted to be so much closer with so much more contact desirable.

It was getting harder to control ourselves as our bodies burned with lust and love. The kiss is forced apart as I pull his boxers off, wasting no time with clutching the material I grind against his erection. The friction of our skin on skin rubbing selfishly against each other, causing our bodies to shake with desire and strangles moans to leave our throats.

"Be ready to not walk tomorrow." Ginoza pants, our breaths coming out is short broken gasps as out lips connect again. Lust and love clouds our vision as he thrusts once, burying himself to the hilt within me. I arch my back as the feeling of wholeness overcomes me. It was like no pleasure I've ever felt before. It was a pleasure I could only feel with him.

It seemed it had the same reaction on him as he throws his head back to tease a long deep throated groan, far closer to a growl than anything else.

I start grinding, wanting more of the pleasurable feeling, wanting to be pushed over the edge and fall into pleasure's grasp. Ginoza grips both my hips and starts to lift me up and down, meeting me at halfway by thrusting upwards to create a pleasurable feeling in both of our groins.

"Ginoza~" I moan loudly, "Faster please~" I manage to say around the moans.

Flipping us over he starts to thrust harder, not getting enough pleasure as he desired. It was like a pit in our bodies. We wanted, no needed, each other. We needed each other to quench our unquenchable thirst. His thrusts start to grow faster and he grips the bed, his lips colliding into mine in a hot passionate kiss. Our bodies melting and molding to each others as our skin rub. Grunts, groans and moans bounce of the walls with our names being repeated in there too.

The heat was unbearable as I clinged his shoulders, meeting him halfway like he did with myself. I was close. I could feel myself being slingshotted to the edge. Ginoza brings a hand to the front of my body and starts to rub my clit with his finger. It made the feeling even more intense, making me arch my back just as I fall over. The orgasm was the most powerful one I've had since, making me see white as my body is wracked with being over pleasured. I cry out Ginoza's name, only successfully making him thrust harder as our skin hits hard together, rubbing in places as he thrusts for his release. My walls clamp on, making his experience and my own all the more pleasurable. He finds his release not long afterwards, growling my own name as he throws his head back, filling my womb with his seed.

It was warm and dribbled out as he fell forwards, landing on top of me with his head by my neck. Our breathing is harsh and uneven as our chests rise and fall quickly. The acts which had just passed still in our bloodstream. He mumbles unrecognizable words before pulling out. Both of us tired as the adrenaline is slowly diluted with time and out breathing grows backroom normal.

I keep my eyes close and focus on steadying my breathing as well as the man on top of me. I was drifting off to sleep when I'm suddenly picked up. "Room clean." The tired voice of Ginoza speaks, he pressed me against his bare chest as I open my eyes and look up at him. I lean up and press my lips softly against his own. Transferring and communicating how much I truly did love him. He return both my kids and my feelings, if not returning the feelings more. Once the room was clean and we had managed to clean up we fall into bed, cuddling up against each other as we both relax.

As we were half asleep his bracelet started to ring. Grumbling Ginoza answers the call. Akane was calling saying that I needed to go and see the boss for my punishment. "Sorry Akane but (y/n) and I will be off tonight until tomorrow night." He apologizes, hanging up before she could say another word in. Nestling back into his place he pulls me in closer and hugs me. "(Y/n), I love you. Will you stay with me forever?"

I lazily open my eyes and look into Ginoza's before closing them once again and nuzzling into his bare chest. Still neither of us had clothes on but it no longer mattered anyway and we were both too tired to even bother with the articles of cloth. "Of course I will Gino. No matter what because I love you and I will forever love you." I mutter watching him fall asleep, the thought of my punishment trying to make itself known. Gino wraps his arms and pulls me in closer, the thoughts leaving as I snuggle and get comfortable again. Falling into a comfortable sleep alongside my lover where I'll always be.

The Cat’s Whiskers x Akan Yatsura / “JUSTICE” voice drama part 2

Exams ended...!! Hello I am alive...!! And very (not) ready for “PRIDE”...!! T_T

“JUSTICE” Part 2

Yohei: So, you bastards… under whose orders did you come here?

Mobs: We’re not working under anyone! That kinda thing doesn’t matter, just cough up the cash, fuckin’ bastads!!

Iori: Tch… so they’re just punks.

Oi, we’ll let you off today, so get out.

Mobs: Don’t look down on us! If ya don’t give us the cash, y’all gonna get hurt!

Yohei: You’re letting them go? You really have that soft spot on you.

Iori: There’s no helping it. No matter what you do, guys like these won’t even get you 1 yen.

Mobs: Makin’ a fool out of us...! You shitheads! Urrah!!

(Mob punched Iori)

Yohei: You bastard... what the fuck did you just...?

Iori: Leave it, danna. I’m fine.

Yohei: Don’t think you can leave unscathed after laying your hands on Iori...!

Mobs: Bring it on, get me!!

(Yohei and the mobs fight)

(The mobs fall down and cough in pain)

Iori: Danna. That’s too much.

Yohei: Huh? Oh. Sorry.

Iori: Well, then...

(Iori forcibly pulled one of the mobs up)

Mobs: Ahh... ah!

Iori: You bastards. Learnt something, didn’t you?

If you pick a fight with real yakuza like us, you ain’t getting away just like this. Understand?

This time, we’ll let you off like this. Be grateful, won’t you?

Mobs: Y-yes... we’re very sorry...

Iori: Haha. Even so, danna. You really overdid it.

It’s gonna take lots of time to clean this up.

Yohei: Sigh. Small fries making us waste so much time.

Jeez, what a pain.

_

Saimon: He-eh, you were very rough, weren’t you, Yohei.

Yohei: Well, ‘cause that time I didn’t have any brains but physical strength.

Zen: If it’s physical strength, then I, too...!

Cough. Then, where does the maneki-neko comes in?

Iori: Wahahaha! Oh yeah, right.

Then, a few days after that uproar, we got called to Boss’s office.

We went in high spirits, thinkin’ we’re gon’ get a reward or something, but...

_

Yohei: Jeez, that damn boss messing around like that...

What the hell’s with giving us this maneki-neko!?

Iori: Hahaha, our guess were wrong, huh.

Yohei: We protected the shop’s name and loaded customers, so he could’ve given us something more... you know!?

Iori: Well, it’s probably simply because he didn’t have anything prepared. After all, those guys suddenly came to our face by themselves and then left just like that. Seriously, it feels like we were wheedled out of it cleanly.

Yohei : Well, when he just up and smiled like that, as he said, ‘I have high expectations for you’, there’s really nothing else we could say.

Iori: Right.

Well, we’ll answer his expectations, quickly get lots of money, and make the boss, us, and the Suiseki group, everyone all merry.

Yohei: Haha, yeah. Let’s do it. I’m counting on you, maneki-neko.

Iori: Ya shoulda said ‘partner’ right there, like, ‘I’m counting on you, Iori’!

Yohei: Oi, oi, you’re talking like Boss now.

Iori: Haha. How was it? I look like Boss when I talk like that, don’t I?

Yohei: No way. Stupid.

Iori: Haha.

Yohei: Hahaha.

_

Saimon: So that kind of thing happened, huh, Yohei? I didn’t know at all.

Zen: To think that that maneki-neko was a gift from the Boss...

Iori: How’s it!? A real good story, ain’t it?

Zen: Yes. A lot of things happened in the past, wasn’t it.

Iori: Well, that’s ‘cause we’ve been workin’ together for almost all the time.

Yohei: It was a story from really long ago, though.

Iori: Come of think of it, at that time there were those Alter Trigger Company guys too, weren’t there?

Yohei: Hah. What unpleasant connection, seriously.

Iori: Seriously an unpleasant connection, it is.

Yohei: Hm?

Iori: Danna, ya also heard of it recently, right? The Alter Trigger Company name.

Saimon: Why do you guys... that...?

Iori: Hahahaha! If ya work in this industry, ya gon’ hear lotsa stuff.

Yohei: And? How much do you know?

Iori: Nah, I dunno the details, but I only know that this bar’s ‘bout to be bought... and who’s gonna buy it.

Yohei: As expected, news travels fast to you.

Yeah. To protect this place, we have to get the one billion.

But this and that have no――...!

Iori: And that’s the deal. So, y’know anything about Paradox Live and Alter Trigger, danna?

Saimon: What are you trying to say?

Iori: The sudden buy-out uproar and the opening of Paradox Live. Plus, the winning prize is exactly the amount of money that y’all needed, one billion yen. Don’tcha think it’s too good a scenario for mere coincidence?

Saimon: In short, Alter Trigger Company is connected to all of it... is what you’re trying to say, is it?

Iori: Who knows?

Saimon: But... No, don’t tell me... that kind of thing is...

Yohei: We’re... being manipulated?

Iori: ‘Sup with that... seein’ that reaction, y’all don’t seem to have any info.

Saimon: ...

Iori: Seems like it’s a fruitless effort on our part. Well, let’s just say I told y’all ‘cause of our old friendly relations.

There’s somethin’ ‘bout this competition. Do your best to be careful.

Yohei: Oi, what the hell’s up about this event!?

Saimon: Anything is fine―please tell us whatever you-

(Bar door opens, and the bell rings)

Ryuu: We’re hooome!

Reo: Big Bro, we’re back!

Yohei: Sigh... seems that the adults’ time ended.

Hokusai: Hey... you said you guys keep cats... where are they?

Shiki: Oh... sorry, we made it so they can’t come into the shop. Right now, they’re probably asleep upstairs...

Hokusai: Even though I brought lots of setarias... [1]

Reo: Don’t be that dejected, Hokusai. Instead, seems like Satsuki will play with that!

Hokusai: Satsuki... really?

Satsuki: Ha? Who the hell wants to play with some wild grass?

Oi, Hokusai, stop looking at me with eyes full of expectations!

Reo: Can’t help it! Then, guess the demon king will do! Heere, come here~!

Ryuu: There’s no way Ryuu will wag his tail to such a grass...

Woof, woof~ Let’s play, let’s play!

Hokusai: Ryuu. Paw.

Ryuu: Woof!

Hokusai: The other paw.

Ryuu: Woof!

Satsuki: No, I told you it’s a setaria! The fuck’s with ‘woof’!?

Hokusai: Ah.

Shiki: U-um, inside of the shop, please don’t...!

Saimon: Haha, it’s alright, Shiki. We’re already closed, after all.

Zen: We’re very sorry that our kids...

Yohei: I feel like I kinda understand your feelings...

Satsuki: Thanks for the food, Big Bro! Raimen-tei’s ramen’s the best today, too! And the change...

Iori: S’kay, just take it, Satsuki.

Satsuki: Seriously!? Is it really ok!?

Iori: Let’s say it’s a tip for printing that one time. ‘Kay? [2]

Reo: Ah, what? Only Satsuki!? That’s unfair! Me too, me too!

Satsuki: Haah!? You didn’t even do anything!

Reo: Haah!? What are you saying? A cute kid like me has a value by just being there. Unlike Satsuki! Right, Shiki?

Satsuki: HAA!?

Shiki: H-hey, let’s not fight...

Satsuki: You ugly! Shiki, back off!!

Shiki: A-ah.... you’re so mean, Satsuki-kun...

Zen: Aah, they’re at it again. I’m sorry.

Oi!! What the hell are you guys on about!!?

(In the background.)

Reo: You’re frustrated, aren’t you~? For not being popular!

Satsuki: Oi!!!

Zen: How many times is it already!?

 Saimon: They seem like they’re always fighting.

Iori: Haha. They’re what you call somethin’ like ‘the closer you are...’! [3]

Ryuu: By the way, what were boss and the others talking about?

Saimon: Hm? Oh, just small talks.

Ryuu: Reeeally? Hmmm? Ah, I know!

You guys were talking about the people standing behind everyone... right!?

Saimon: ...!? Ryuu...!?

Reo: What is it, what is it? Talking about ghosts?

Ryuu: No~ It’s a-dults’-ta-lk!

Iori: Oi. Whaddaya mean? Ya know somethin’?

Ryuu: Know? About what? The ingredients of konnyaku?

Iori: Sonny, don’t be boring and say sloppy things.

Ryuu: To pack... [4] like, packing chikuwa and cucumber?

Saimon: I’m sorry. Could you please not press this child with questions?

Iori: O-oh... yeah, ya right. Sorry, sorry.

This sonny... he knows somethin’?

Ryuu: Hee-eey, if ghosts do appear what do we do~?

Satsuki: Hey, Shiki, is this guy always like this? Even in the ramen shop he just keeps blabbering on whatever comes up on his mind.

Ryuu: Shiki’s arm is really white and boney, huh!? Calcium!!

(Ryuu bites Shiki’s arm.)

Shiki: I-it hurts! Ryuu-kun, stop biting me!

Ryuu: Munch, munch...

Reo: Seriously, how could you live together with that? Ain’t it crazy?

Shiki: No, I’m already used to it...

Ryuu: Woof, munch, munch!

Satsuki: Nothing is scarier than routine...!

Shiki: But, he also has a really kind side to him...

Yohei: Oi, until when are you gonna bite Shiki’s arm!?

Ryuu: Oooouch! Master’s bullying me! I’m against violence!

Hokusai: Shiki, are you okay? It hurts, didn’t it? Good boy...

Shiki: Thank you...

Saimon: Sigh...

Shiki: Owner...?

 (in the background.)

Reo: Come here, good boy, good boy.

Ryuu: Woof, woof!

Reo: Here, here, here, and there!

Ryuu: Woof, woof, woof!

 Shiki: Um, are you okay...?

Saimon: Hm? Why?

Shiki: It kind of looked liek you were spacing out... I wondered if you were tired...

Saimon: Ah... I was just thinking. Thank you for worrying, Shiki. You’re a kind child.

Shiki: N-not at all.

(Iori clapped his hands twice.)

Iori: Well then, it’s already late. Let’s call it a night.

Reo: Yeeees~!

Zen: Even though we said we’ll only have a glass, in the end we stayed for a long time.

Saimon: It’s alright. Come again whenever you want.

Hokusai: It’d be nice if I can meet the kitties next time...

Yohei: Yeah, you can even bring them home if you want.

Hokusai: Really...!?

Reo: No, no. We already have Mr. Monkey in our house, right? By the name of Satsuki!

Hokusai: I see...

Satsuki: Oi, oi, oi, Hokusai! The hell do you mean by ‘I see’!?

Ryuu: Bye-bye, thank you, come again!

Shiki: We’ll be waiting for your next visit.

Zen: Yeah, thanks for the food!

Iori: Hey, brats! Wontcha get outta here fast!?

Reo: See ya~!

Hokusai: Hehe...

Satsuki: Let’s come again!

 Iori: Danna. I’m different from when I’m still chasing after you.

Now, these guys’re my family.

So, to protect ‘em too, I can’t lose on stage.

I ain’t gon’ give ya mercy even though we’re old comrades.

Yohei: Heh. Bring it on.

‘Cause we also can’t lose.

No way i’d lose the bar and my comrades.

Iori: Well then, the next time we meet’s on the stage!

Yohei: Yeah. Just you wait.

(Iori walks out of the bar.)

Yohei: Oi, you’re Gazen, aren’t you?

Zen: Yes?

Yohei: Him... Iori, look after him carefully, wont you? I’m counting on you.

Zen: Yes. You don’t even have to tell me that.

Yohei: Heh. I see.

(Zen walks out of the bar.)

Yohei: Well then, now you all go and clean up! Move quickly!

Shiki: A-ah, yes!

Ryuu: Eeeeh?

Saimon: You too, Yohei.

Yohei: Yes, yes, understood, Owner-sama.

Then, Shiki, you clean. Ryuu, get the dustpan.

Shiki: Yes!

Ryuu: Understood!

Notes

[1] Neko-jarashi, setaria or foxtail, the grass you play with cats with.

[2] I'm actually not sure this is his exact words, but anyways it's a tip for doing some kind of chore.

[3] As in, 'you're so close you fight'or 'the closer you are the more you fight with each other'.

[4] Tsumaranai means boring, but it’s also the negative form of tsumaru (to pack).

GO READ CICADA SUMMER

@spades-queen​

So I wanted to write down my thoughts about Cicada Summer. Which oh gosh if you love Hanako at all please just go read this. You won't regret it! I PROMISE YOU!

I’ll put this under read more now cause I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone . So just know spoilers are under the read more.

I feel I should say this just beforehand though these are just my personal thoughts and i’m not really good at holding back my emotions. If I love something I let you REALLY know I love something and cry over the simplest details if they mean something to me. I may not have interpreted everything in the way you wanted them to be interpreted as the writer OR I might have thought a character was an OC or like that cause I am not fully caught up on the manga (I’m on ch 61 as of rn) and fair warning my grammar is horrible sometimes and my key pad keeps freezing so apologies for that in advance. Ok with that out of the way please allow me to gush :,))

This took me forever to put into words and I scrapped this twice but I think I’m just gonna go with it this time. This is a jumbled mess but my thoughts just can’t stay in a straight line today for some reason. So we’re just gonna run with this. I mean this in the nicest possible way when I say THIS FIC IS BREAKING MY HEART! I love it! I love it I love it! But the PAIN I feel and the immersion when reading these chapters is like I’m also there wandering adrift with Amane at night. Feeling the crushing weight of everything and so so empty. (Probably doesn’t help I was up till 5 am reading this the other night)

But the way you write completely does that for me!! TSUCHIGOMORI again I mean this with all the love but GOSH I CAN’T! The torment you are making him feel! (Secretly slow claps 👏🏻 in the background) Yes I love the pain. I love the genuine emotion from all this! But I won’t deny my eyes were watering. Really watering I can’t remember the exact scenes but at times there was this big lump in my throat.

I have to confess how much I love canon. I know I know it’s not something most people love. But I do I really am strange I just love more then anything either deleted scenes to canon or something that could basically be canon. I know that’s a dangerous line to tread and I’m not saying I don’t love AU’s but I just have a special place in my heart for origins and deleted scenes. The problem with most of those though is they are so out of character.. or there’s just this one particular thing that bothers me. I’m really not trying to over gush.. but really I can’t see anything that seems off (And I’m using a telescope) Your characterization is SO GOOD! Not only the characterization but the characters actions don’t seem out of character either! You really really know how to get into the minds and view points!

Particular scenes like When Tsuchigomori is talking to that kid in class who “lost” his jacket and trying to break up their argument over the ghost discussion. It’s such a not important example but it’s so true to tsuchigomori! Even scenes like that I see them in a film strip play out in my mind. His expressions and attitude about even that small exchange. That’s when you know your writing it top tier for even scenes like that.

Another example is when Amane first spots what he thinks is a white weird looking cat and meets Yako. The way you write her.., sorry I just could go on it’s brilliant!

(Ok I’m staying more focused now)I also wanted to bring up the level of significant detail. Well personally I think these are significant details cause they are a few things I latched onto and wanted to expand on this ...

I’m just gonna list them. Like I said this is a bit jumbled but it’s the best way I can get my genuine thoughts out about this.

1- There’s this scene in actual canon that makes me have a similar feeling about the timing in how you write so I’m just gonna talk about that first.  It’s the scene in the Book Stacks Arc when Nene and Kou have to tell Tsuchigomori their secrets and then they think Hanako should have to as well.

“Oh my you want to hear secrets about me? “ “No thanks but I do appreciate the offer. I know more then enough.”

I won’t go on a tangent about this but this detail destroys my soul and when you go back and re read or re watch the anime after it’s only then that it does! Cause then you know! It’s the timing of it!

The way you use timing in your fic going back to the origin story’s (not just Amane’s but the interactions with all the other people and supernaturals around him) like when Amane first meets Yako and then in my mind I think forward to when he goes

“Hey number 2. It’s been a while. Do you remember me?” .... “So you guys are ... friends?” “She’s a wonder. I’m a wonder. Sometimes it’s assumed.”

We don’t know much about Hanako’s origin. Actually we know practically nothing about Hanako’s origin. We know more about Yugi Amanes backstory then Hanako’s origin of how he came to be Hanako and THAT is really saying something. (Gosh I so hope soon will get to know some more about both) But the way you wrote the introduction with Amane and Yako before Hanako was even a Wonder... I can’t describe it but it’s that kinda detail that makes me feel a slight similar feeling to the “You want to hear secrets about me?” example if I go back now and watch the Missaki stairs episode.

It’s because of your word choices and timing (it’s seamless) It’s just the story telling itself with those details..I hope that makes some sense? I can’t think of words. Obviously you know I’m not a writer cause I’m not good at this but it was something that was a significant detail for me.

Second-Your original character of Nakamura. How her sweet and pure  personality and inquisitive helpful nature wanted her to try and see if she could see over that mountain that was Amanes guarded wall and how she just kept trying until that was completely taken away from her with his death. I really like her and I have this suspision it was an intentional parallel to Nene In a very natural subtle way (that’s just what I interpreted) to think now thinking forward how Hanako gravitated to Nene’s personality cause a part of It might have slightly reminded him of a could have been friend he never took the opportunity to let even slightly in and regretted that. Even worse with that reminder and seeing Nene at first glance and knowing she was just gonna die. You really REALLY know how to bring on the hints and detail driven Angst!

Third. I have to bring up Tsuchigomori’s and Yako’s dynamic. It always took on a most light hearted feel with these two who are basically stuck with each other for eternity. And they may or may not at times slightly reminded me of a very old (we’re talking ancient) married couple. Your dynamic and internal thought monologue from both their povs about each other were solid gold 👌🏻.

Forth Emi and Shuuya THE TENSION IN MY BODY WHEN EMI... AHHH! And then he ran into Nakamura LITERALLY INTO HER BODY! Jumping out the window and then the scene outside .:. Ahh I get chills. Chills. Then Tsuchigomori protecting his student .. his surrogate son ok I’m fine. I’m fine. :,( Anyway .. yea that was so good! 😭 The scenes were so fast pace it was shock and awe I was feeling mostly and then when it calmed down with Tsuchigomori and Amane just being there together that’s when my chest got tight again. But I’m so intrigued about Emi. I mean I know she’s established and important but how you are gonna continue to write her is what I’m so curios about. We know so little about her.

The exchange between Amane and Emi after when he seeks her out and tells her one day she will be a great exorcist and the hesitation she mulls over in her mind. Not understanding this supernatural at all. Brings me back to Kou and his conflicting emotions towards Hanako when they first met and the parallels just make me so emotional!

I will also confess I’m not completely caught up on the manga I have around 7 more chapters to go as I’m on chapter 61 right now. So unless they said Teru and Kous grandmothers first name in those chapters I’m gonna assume you chose it.

Same goes for the first clock keeper Shuuya I don’t know what to make of him as of right now and haven’t gotten to the part in the manga I think you said in your authors note that he was briefly introduced in? But again I love what you did with this! He was such a fun and contrasting character to the newest clock keeper.

Introducing this character and what Amanes first response was to him. Someone else who could see him! How that made him feel. Really makes me think of his response to Akane now and Hanako just hoping that that he can have another friend and someone to interact with and even though Akane um.. let’s go with dislikes him he doesn’t care cause it’s someone else that he can actually interact with.

The flashbacks with Tsukasa. Oh boy. Oh boy. Gosh I have no idea what to make of Tsukasa in general like it pains me so much cause I hate his actions but I feel SO SO BAD FOR HIM! Something made him the way he was! I love your flashback scenes so much! I love seeing that human small child side to him. It’s just so so sad :,( Wait how old were they in the flashback scene of the festival? Does the one in 1964 when Nene traveled back still exist in the canon of this story?

And also speaking of Tsukasa (I know this one you can’t answer cause this might be a plot point) but why couldn’t Tsuchigomori find his book? That’s what I am dying to know.

I could go on so much more about Amane and Tsuchigomori but it’s so hard for me to put into words for all the chapters so far. My next review will be more focused on just the latest chapter so this is a bit of a mess. You really understand this dynamic and it’s a dynamic that personally means so so much to me. What changed everything for me when I first got into Hanako was the Bookstacks arc. That changed everything for me. Knowing who this boy of Yugi Amane was and the dynamic we got to see with the only person who knew who he was when he was human! (I really hope they dive more into that and we see more Tsuchigomori telling us about that) Some of these themes and concepts hit me so personally and my heart breaks for Yugi so much.

I probably missed a lot but I really feel like this is just such a mess even though these are all my genuine thoughts im sure more will pop back into my head later.

Lastly if you wouldn't be opposed I may try to make something for it creatively. You know how certain fics have their own fan art and such ... 

I wish there were so many actual visual fan arts made of this story for more visualization! If only I had talent. ( I may possibly try my hand at one but I have only drawn one piece of art ever)

These are just the scenes off the top my head Tsuchigomori next to Amane on the staircase as he cries when he first realizes he’s a spirit

Amane sitting in his own desk next to Nakamura watching her sleep

Amane and Emi looking right up at the ghost of the moon in the daylight before Amane disappears from her sight

Tsuchigomori bandaging Amane yet again in the nurses office. Telling him he will eventually fade away he’s not attached to anything here anymore he’s just a drift.

Amane looking at himself in the bathroom mirror not recognizing himself gritting the phantom pain in his abdomen as looks to see it’s physically rotting away (that’s a bit darker of one😅 but I love it)

Amane telling Tsuchigomori as they watch the lanterns he’s not going anywhere again when Tsuchigomori tells him “maybe now would be the best time to cross”

Ok .. I made myself cry again but these scenes stick out to me so much. You should have fan art for them cause they are just that good! :,)

I hope in someway if you do read this you somewhat like my thoughts on this even if they are jumbled. I had to gush about this but also maybe I latched onto a detail that isn’t really brought up or something. That’s another reason I wanted to share my thoughts with you. 

Really your writing is such a privilege! I feel so lucky to come across something like this and to be captivated by it and (breaking down at 5 am over it) Thank you again for sharing this creation It’s inspiring creatively and I feel very grateful ❤️

Ranma 2/4

Part  Two: Chapter 13 - 25

Unless someone comes up with a better name I’m sticking with this one

HOW tf is the principal crazier than before?!

Yup, spreading out the Kuno-Principal thing

Is Sasuke seriously an anime-only?!?

Like I said Ryoga needs to chill a little first

Main reason I don’t like Ukyo That scene where she blatantly states she’s fine with turning Ranma into something he’s not rather than helping him

(Ignoring the near constant amount of undermining his abilities)

“I’m gonna cheer him up” as she holds a sword! Why?!

 Ranma you dummy, hug Akane!

I hate this demon/ghost cat

Shampoo, you manipulative bitch

Akane learns to swim like a normal person

The lifeguard in me can’t do it

 The principal is background shenanigans

Totally forgot about the kid who wants to play video games and is “weak” bc of it

Definitely need to find a different reason tho

 Lazy little shits are a pain

Also his mom is crap

 Akane… why you be dumb?

 Weird Happosai is Santa plot…

What is with the Excalibur meets lucky 1000 meets fairy godmother?

Good news is, with what I’ve done to Kuno’s understanding of Ranma’s curse Ranma knows Kuno wouldn’t give him that wish and calls it quits sooner

Someone just needs to explain Ranma’s really confusing sense of morality to me

 Cuz it’s either on 110% or it’s nonexistent, now normally nonexistent is for Kuno but still

 Look Ranma’s got ego problems but he ain’t stupid

No betting the Tendo Dojo at five!

 On what planet is that a legal document?!?

Some1 tell me why Shampoo using Ranma as a stop ramp bugs me so bad

That mo when you can’t remember if the Hot Spring Challenge is when Ukyo met Shampoo in the anime…

I don’t think so…

Akane you made me need to google a word

That like never happens Ranma you idiot

So close but so far

So much more logic, thanks

I mean more insanity, but it explains why Ranma swapped clothes

Finally! Ranma apologizes

Jesus Christ someone would think I won the goddamn lotto with how loud I cheered when this happened

600% approve of this over what happened in the anime

Oof poor Ranma

Hahahaha in your face Shampoo, but I also think I know why Ranma chose it

Poor Ryoga

I KNEW this guy was coming I still hate it

YEET you can’t PAY ME to  do this arc

Look, is it the fact that I had etiquette and dance classes as a child and everyone assumed this is what it was like? Probably.

It wasn’t so I won’t.

Any1 else notice how Nabiki is one of the few ppl that uses she/her when Ranma is in his cursed form no matter what?

Why does this bug me?

Akane, stop beating Ranma up, honestly

This is closer to abuse rather than teasing

*sighs*

 Gotta work that out of the narrative, intentional or not

Every1 sayin she’s violent isn’t helping

Like I said really fucking morally GREY Nabiki

How grey can you go before you get black? 

 Let’s find out together

Can everyone PLEASE stop treating Ranma like an object?!

 I literally can’t tell if Nabiki is fucking Aro or not…

STRESS

Why is this so hard?!

I hate seeing Akane cry

I know she’s playing Ranma like a kazoo, but the point still stands

WHY ARE YOU TWO SO DUMB?!

Nope, nevermind it’s just Ranma that’s a fuckin idiot I blame Genma

No, I’m not kidding

*sighs* I don’t condone Nabiki doing this in any way just for the record THAT’S not an apology Ranma!

This mess is totally your fault Nabiki

STRESS

am I intentionally pointing out where this work of fiction is stressing me out since I’m now online schooling and suffering for it? Yes, fuck off.

 Actually, don’t.

But Fuck Covid19

Aww his hat’s back!

Why do I love his hat so much?

No, seriously Akane’s so cute!

Oooww tree

y’know the sec she realized what Ranma was doing Nabiki should’ve TOLD him!

Congrats Ranma ya got the wrong sis- I mean the right- but wrong- dammit y’know what I mean

Some1 give me a logical explanation for why Ranma goes on a date with a panda doodle, PLEASE

I do appreciate the epic battle background fight for the anime

Further proof that Happosai sucks

Manga name’s somehow less believable I think it’s the use of “snowman” rather than “yeti”

Did Soun just find out that Pchan is Ryoga, and say nothing?

Ooo, Imma commit arson

Remember when I said obey Physics and Medical, I meant it

Arson is wrong and I know this but “transgender bitch” crosses the line

I will do it

Shampoo is a fucking yandere psycho

Just sayin “we’ll see who can get him first” 

honestly, any other group and I’d be annoyed, but these four can’t work together for shit I

’m still pissed at Taro, but he can kill Happosai, please

I can’t tell if Shampoo, Mousse and Ryoga are being purposefully obtuse or not

I just reread their names I know the answer to at least two of them

Idk how I feel about Kuno-amnesia we’ll see

yep, Kuno gives me the creeps w or w/out his memories

kinda wish this was anime

jesus christ, poor Ranma

press f to pay respects for Ranma’s stomach

InstaRegret

 Also Ukyo’s assumption that some1 can make Ranma doing anythin he doesn’t want to is crap

Like HELLO! Wake up moron!

Nabiki, I mean this in the nicest way possible, shut the fuck up

You’re making it worse

Also TALK to each other you ding dongs!

OH RIGHT! I almost forgot about the biggest fucking insult that Ukyo said of her own freewill!

It also proves that she doesn’t know Ranma as a person AT ALL!

It’s not a pick one or the other kind of thing

The fact that she thinks Ranma would accept that is insulting

The fact that she thinks that is insulting and makes me hate the patriarchy

Again, treating him like a prize than a person

*tries not scream, sighs*

Nabiki, you’re the cause of at least 30% of the stress I get from this

You having feelings ain’t the fucking problem here Ukyo, you not acknowledging Ranma’s is

 I hate fake criers, anyone who does this I hate you

Always let others in on your plans, kids

When’s every1 gonna realize Ranma’s “wishy-washy” cuz no one’s ever committed to HIM before?

This episode confused me, I’m prepared to be MORE confused

Less confused, I’m surprised

 Gonsunkugi, you creep

There is SO much wrong with this

*shudders*

WHAT?!

Y’know I didn’t think Gosunkugi could surprise me, I was wrong

Happosai still sucks unfortunately for all of us he’s now weird on top of it

I love how much Ranma needs to be kicked in the teeth to get any character development out of him

Ryoga is my #1 choice for it, always

Ranma… why are you like this?

Genma, emotional range of a goddamn wall

I am jealous of Ranma’s brain

I could be SO mean with the Shishihokodan

Also, are they implying that Ryoga has depression?

Gimme Ranma’s brain

I won’t ask for his confidence cuz that’s impossible but I want his brain

In Akane’s defense, given what she knows she couldn’t’ve known how badly that would affect Ryoga

 I ain’t gonna say “leave Shampoo” cuz that’s cruel

I like the “turn into a Cat” rather than the “Can’t Cross” & the use of New Year’s rather than random but this still brings around the fact that she doesn’t LISTEN to him

Mousse you’re NOT helping in fact you’re actively making it worse did you miss when he said blatantly “I don’t wanna”

oh, sure, NOW you’re ok with it

ugh Mousse, you have a brain, I’ve SEEN you use it. Do so now.

This entire episode weirded me out

IDK if it’s the age-dff or the fact that he was makin it up and somehow everyone thought this was okay … 

I won’t YEET it but MASSIVELY change

heheheh

Light bulb

NOPE I’m keeping this surprise to myself

it was a rather sweet end tho

Oh, this episode is a mess and a half, honestly

Also Nabiki, congrats you’ve literally enabled a stalker S

o many laws are broken here

okay, so Kodachi not being in on Ranma’s secret after so long makes sense purely because she doesn’t go to their school

however, with what i’ve done to make Kuno marginally less dumb it makes a little bit less sense…

I literally hate Kuno with what I’ve done to his logic of Ranma’s transformation, but that’s the point Kodachi… how do I handle you… oh, duh!

Ok, so Kodachi is now also terrible

 I’m trying to figure out where this is in the plot since there is ZERO

Ok, there’s a LINE, Nabiki

This one would be touching, if it didn’t end the way it does

TALK gentlemen! 

It won’t kill you

Fuck a parent that says they’re not your parent for no reason, EVER

I am going to make this hurt

 Also gonna take out Genma’s fail at stealth

 Remember I said Akane’s going to learn to cook

heheheh

sorry, I just love this idea

Oh this is SO against the rules it’s not even funny

 tiny adjustment so they actually have quasi-competent referees

Crazy wants crazy?I won’t stop ‘em

I reiterate: CHEATING!

I am aware that the “ending” apparently sets them back to the start in terms of their relationship but I swear to God if they pretend shit like this didn’t happen I will scream

 Someone ships something other than Akane x Ranma PLEASE explain why/how

don’t ship bash but I would insight when you explain 

STICK TO CANON

please trust me, I’m a multi/poly/crack shipper

(for frame of reference to a bnha I ship DabiHawks)

I understand the appeal of Fanon

however, I would like to stick to Canon here

so no Fanon

Canon Only

Fully love that high kick

Genma shows Ranma’s secret here, but they already know… so… I shall find out

Ooo, you’re not getting out of this Ranma

Do you know how tempting it is for Akane to at least tell Ranma she’s a girl- oh wait gendered sports… right…

Ranma… 

if you didn’t realize it was Akane when she hit you for calling her klutzy I can’t help you

I want to commit arson at some of the comments…

but can confirm that these are HS boys

 Doesn’t mean I gotta like it

I was wondering how long I was going to have to wait before tearing into Nodoka

FINALLY

Took me WAY too long to remember that Nodoka calling Ranko tomboyish is due to how he speaks in Japanese

I’ll need to figure that out since… English

Can I explode on Genma’s choice to take Ranma at TWO?!

Can I further explode on both of them for making a TWO YEAR OLD “sign” a Seppuku Pledge?!

I hate both of them, honest

ALSO communication! 

Genma! Just fucking TELL HIM!

Making her transphobic is SO tempting

I don’t mean in a “i hate you” way I mean in a “I sheltered my whole life” way

 It’s still bad, and painful, but she can easily learn from that

Or be worse, this could go 2 ways

I feel so bad for Akane for this entire conversation

Also poor Ranma like ouch… 

 Awkward

I’m going to make this hurt something fierce

Slight change since I’m hoping Ranma isn’t as “peak fight or flight” by this point

Genma don’t be an asshole for FIVE MINUTES

Please, that’s all I want

If she doesn’t learn the truth before the end I will make a bad decision

Really, I will

Don’t kill Genma, you can’t

 Akane, don’t say like you wouldn’t… honestly

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, honestly, just look the other way Ranma

*sigh* 

Ranma…

See, this kind of crap here is why I really don’t like Cologne

any other day Akane’d be right

oof, that means he self aware that girls flock to him

I’m quite frustrated by that if I’m honest

Ranma is clueless about all the wrong things

I love him but God I wanna punch him sometimes

Why is there a swing from the ceiling?!

I had a jolt from the way they set that panel up, thanks

Are you trying to kill me?!

Thank you Cologne, now fuck off

Oh thank God, at least he learned

This is nonanime stuff so I have no clue what’s happening but anything to make Happosai miserable

I’m enjoying this immensely

 ugh, “think of it as a compliment” ghost

Eat me

 okay, yeah, as much as I want him dead, that’s worse

I’m glad he’s not a one-and-done character

I will forever ONLY call him Taro when it is NonDialogue

Wait Saffron as in big-bad Saffron?

I literally only know pieces of the end so I’m just pulling from what I know

Lol, wait… was that soldier Anime only too?

I almost liked you there for a sec Taro

Now I’m pissed again

bravo

Oh, YIKES

… if Ranma falls into the Spring of Drowned Twins would he split?

 I’m not going to DO IT, obviously!

I’m just curious okay… 

that answers that… and kills anyone other than Ranma’s plan to turn back to normal I hope everyone is aware of that

oof

Since when is there a castle on an island in Japan

tis just a scratch, I’ll admit that was funny

Ranma… your stomach gets you in so many problems

ok, that was wholesome

I approve

Okay, so my understanding is that Mrs. Tendo got sick, so I can understand the reactions to Kasumi

BUT I still find it odd because… well… anyone in my house gets sick and you mostly can’t even tell I mean, minus a worse attitude and a mask, other than that though, nope we keep ‘er movin’

 I’m moving this section sooner EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!

I like her mom’s cookbook tho

I could make a Ranma x Ryoga joke here, but I won’t

I also won’t make a Ranma x Ryoga joke chapter cuz I’m nice like that

Actually I might have no choice

I’m FINE just dying

 Help

my multishipper heart is dying here

 I love this

InstaRegret for THREE people

If nothing else, I’m impressed

(well three once Ranma’s back to normal)

I need help

Fangirling/Fanboying/Fanpeopling is dangerous folks, remember that

Poor Ryoga

Though I too feel that right now like where do I look because everything coming in at mach 6

I’m changing that one scene tho cuz I can’t justify the aftermath without it

This… is… weird to say the least

I feel like I should just expect anything with Gosunkugi remotely involved to be weird at this point

okay, not as weird as I expected

glad it was short tho

I think I am officially out of anime terf

YAY, new content!

This is why I ask about any ship that isn’t Ranma x Akane

Also, names?

That- that- that can’t... 

I DIDN’T NEED TO KNOW THAT!

EWWW

gross

WHY?!?!!

also, biology, that’s not how that works!!

You two ARE idiots

Ryoga you die I’ll kill you

Well… that hurt to see so quick…

Ranma, get up!

I officially hate this Herb guy

ok, so if you put HOT water in the ladle do you stay that way forever?

Alright! Way to go Ryoga!

I need to stop shipping Rivals it’s bad for my health

fucking eat it you dick!

 Poor Akane

nevermind, Ranma you idiot

awwwww

ok, so that whole no more Anime-content… I was wrong, and I admit that, but still

I’m just thinking of my bff when they realize she’s an adult cuz, yeah, she’s like that too

 except like physically an adult unlike tiny-Hinako

 oh MY GOD Ukyo you’re driving me up the goddamn wall I swear!

THANK YOU AKANE!

 “You’re all Ranma’s fiancées” when only one of them actually is 

GIANT SIGH OF ANNOYANCE

Ranma, learn to communicate, PLEASE!

Okay… so is this where they figured it out or are some ppl still in the dark?

TIMELINE!!

Honestly, mood Ranma, mood

This entire plot line confuses me if I’m being totally honest

I mean I live for the Akane focus, but there are so many better ways to do this

[murdertrialimagines]

Failed Surprises

“Hello, I'm really loving your blog and hope you're having a great day! I was wondering if I could please request Kokichi, Rantaro, Nagito, Gundham, Hajime, and Makoto with a male S/O who they're each trying to surprise (or maybe prank in Kokichi's case haha) but but their attempts end up going terribly yet hilariously wrong because the S/O was trying to surprise/prank them as well?”

I love this trope not gonna lie! Sorry if they seem a bit repetitive!

Imagine: Trying and failing to surprise their S/O because they also set up a surprise with M! S/O

Kokichi Oma

Kokichi was bored

Really bored.

Days like this where neither him or Y/n had anything errands usually consisted of laying around the house, watching t.v. or getting into a heated board game

They had been doing that for hours when Y/n decided he needed to go to the store and pick up a few things

Kokichi, being the mischievous kid he is, saw this as the perfect opportunity to scare him

When Y/n called to say he was on his way home, Kokichi went to their room and hid in the closet, ready to jump out when his boyfriend walked in

After a few minutes, he heard the door open and someone drop some bags near the door. He then heard some shuffling and some more doors shutting, before total silence

Kokichi tried to wait, but with how impatient he is, felt like he had been in their closet for hours

He had really been in there for fifteen minutes but

With a huff, he got out and swung open the bedroom door

“Y/n, this is no fun! I was supposed to scare you!”

He looked around, and realized he was talking to an empty house

“Y/n? Did you finally run away? Or maybe you were kidnapped by a rival secret organization!”

He heard some muffled laughter come from the kitchen, and went to investigate

“Did I hear someone? Maybe an assassin?”

He swung open the cabinet under the sink with his foot, and Y/n tumbled out

“Y/n! This isn’t fair! I was supposed to scare you!”

Y/n got up and brushed himself off, laughing. “I saw you weren’t in here so I wanted to scare you too!”

Kokichi sighed and gently leaned on his S/O

“Oh how could you ever?! I am but a sad, fragile boy!”

Y/n laughed, patting Kokichi on the back

“Sure you are. Now, help me unpack the groceries”

“Ughhhh!”

Rantaro Amami

Rantaro knew how much Y/n wanted to go see their favorite band in concert, but knew he could never afford the tickets

Which is why Rantaro bought them for him

He had planned the whole thing out, he would pretend to take Y/n out to a nice dinner date, and surprise him with tickets, which he must say, had some good seats

But everything halted when Y/n said that they had a family dinner that night, and that they both needed to go

To say he was disappointed would be an understatement, but knew that they had to go to family events

Except they weren’t.

Rantaro was actually pretty close with his boyfriends family, and called his mom and explained the situation

She laughed and told him that yes, it was fine

So when the night came, Y/n and Rantaro were dressed up nice for the family dinner, which they weren’t attending

Rantaro had brought a bag of regular clothes, which contained band tees and a few bottles of water, while Y/n had their overnight bag for the dinner

When they got in the car, Rantaro started driving, saying he needed to make a stop first to get something from the store

When they pulled into the parking lot of the concert, Y/n looked at Rantaro, eyes wide

“I know, we have to go to your family dinner, but I talked to your mom and-”

Y/n stopped him by rummaging through their overnight bag, pulling out two slips of paper

“This isn’t fair! I was supposed to surprise you once we actually got to my moms!”

Rantaro, is very confused.

“What?”

“I won two front row tickets! I made up the family dinner so you could go to my moms, where I’d surprise you there!”

“But...I bought two tickets, and called your mom and said we’d have to cancel...”

Y/n stared at him for a moment before bursting into laughter, Rantaro following them

“We’re idiots, huh?”

“Yep.”

After they finished laughing they both started pulling out the regular clothing so they could go change

Rantaro spoke up

“I hope you know we’re definitely using your tickets”

Nagito Komada

Nagito prayed luck was on his side today

It was his and Y/n’s anniversary, but his boyfriend seemed to have forgotten

Perfect

Since they hadn’t yet moved in together, Nagito wanted to set up a perfect dinner date in his own home 

He recruited Teruteru to help cook the meal, and began setting up the perfect date for him and his boyfriend

Dim lighting, amazing food, their favorite movie, and all the pillows and blankets anyone would ever want for a perfect night of cuddling

After he had made his house perfect and wished Teruteru goodbye, he texted Y/n, asking him to come over

‘Hey, Y/n, can you come over and help me move my bed? I am super weak and I need someone strong like my S/O’

‘Nagito, I actually need you to come here. My dog got out and I cant find him!’

Crap.

Nagito knew how much he loved his dog, hell, Nagito loved that dog!

Nagito sighed and picked up his keys, this date would have to wait another hour

When he got to Y/n’s house all the lights were turned off and he didn’t see his boyfriend anywhere

“Y/n? Where are you? Did you find Sushi?”

He knocked on the door, surprised when it opened on the first knock

“Surprise!” 

“What?”

All of their friends were there, streamers and a huge banner that read; ‘Happy Anniversary!’

“You thought I forgot, huh? I thought we could have a big party, since it’s also the day that we all first hung out outside of school!”

Shoot, he forgot about that

He saw Teruteru in the background, shit eating grin on his face

He’ll have to kill him later

“Y/n, I really appreciate this, but I kinda had a surprise date waiting at my house...”

Y/n’s face dropped

“Oh no! I’m so sorry Nagito”

“I-it’s fine! What better way to spend the evening than with everyone? We could always just go back to my house after everyone leaves here.”

Y/n smiled again and pulled Nagito into the house

‘this is a good day’

Gundham Tanaka

Gundham knew the perfect way to surprise his boyfriend for his birthday

What better gift than something they both love?

Gundham had been looking at animal shelters for weeks trying to find the perfect puppy to bring into their home

Until, two days before his S/O’s birthday, he found the one

A beautiful baby chocolate lab that practically jumped on him when he first went to pet it

This boy’s heart melted instantly

And he knew his other boy’s heart would too

He planned to get him the next day, but when he came back, the dog was gone

“Sorry, this dog was adopted by someone this morning, but we have plenty of other dogs if you want to look!”

Gundham thanked the nice lady at the counter and started his stroll home, sulking about his missed opportunity

‘Maybe I could him something else to make up for it?’

Gundham started towards the store, picking up ingredients to make a cake and banner

When he got home, he realized he, in fact, didn’t know how to make cake

He tried his best though!

Which was a little lopsided, and having put the icing on too early, a little melted.

He put the banner up, but having realized they had no tacks or scotch tape, he had to settle for duct tape

Finally, he just had to wait for Y/n to get home

When he got home, his boyfriend was sitting on the floor, holding cake away from his dark devas of destruction

“Gundham, what are you doing?”

“I wanted to get you a surprise for your birthday, but since I couldn’t get what I wanted to get you, I tried to make a cake and put up a banner but...”

Gundham looked down at Y/n’s feet, seeing a small creature

“Y/n, what is that?”

“Well, my birthday is tomorrow, and I wanted to get a gift we can both love!”

The chocolate lab jumped from Y/n’s grasp on his leash, bounding towards Gundham, and inevitably, the cake.

It jumped right on it, causing an impact of cake on Gundham, the dog, his hamsters, and the floor

Everything dead silent until the banner fell off the wall

Y/n was the first to break the silence, laughing and going to get a couple towels for his boyfriend

He helped Gundham clean up the cake explosion and hang up the banner once more

Gundham nearly died when Y/n hugged him tightly

“Don’t worry, this was perfect”

Hajime Hinata

There was no occasion, Hajime just wanted to do something nice for his boyfriend

He planned to go to the store, get some nice drinks, a good meal, and the perfect movie for them to watch for the night

Except when he went to the store to get the drinks, Nagito was there, and needed some help finding something

While helping Nagito, they ran into Mikan, quite literally, who crashed into an isle and knocked down dozens of boxes of macaroni and cheese

They helped Mikan up, and before Hajime could say a word, Nagito claimed that he was gonna go find Mikan a doctor and walked off, leaving Hajime to clean the whole place to himself

Right when he finished, he got a phone call

“...Hello?”

“Hajime? It’s Chiaki, can you come over? Akane and Nekomaru are sparring in my backyard and they keep breaking thi- hey! Stop! Please come!” He heard a crash, which was silenced with a ‘click’ of the call ending

He rushed over to Chiaki’s apartment, finding the door wide open, yelling coming from the back

“Chiaki?”

“Please help! Peko’s here too!”

He walked inside to see it looking normal, but the backyard looked like a tornado has swung through

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, watching Nekomaru and Akane spar, breaking vases and trampling a small garden

“Akane, Nekomaru, what are you doing?”

“We’re training, what does it look like?”

“Could you maybe do it in the park, or your own house?”

“You always need to learn how to fight in new spaces!” Nekomaru shouted, ducking a flying kick from his opponent

At that moment, Peko grabbed Akane midair and threw her to the floor, earning a huff of air from the fallen girl

“Foul move, Peko!”

Akane got up and brushed herself off, before running out of the house

Nekomaru followed, yelling for her to continue the fight

Peko said her goodbyes and left, while Chiaki and Hajime cleaned

“Sorry for the inconvenience, calling you over when you couldn’t help”

“It’s fine, I just really wanted to do something for Y/n today, but I guess I can try tomorrow”

“Well, how about I walk you home, and we can pick up some food on the way?”

“Thanks Chiaki”

They finished cleaning and they went back to the store, picking up some food platters and drinks

When they got to Hajime’s place, the whole house was dark

“Aw shoot, is he already asleep?”

Suddenly all the lights turned on, banners, streamers and balloons littering the house

“SURPRISE!”

“What?”

All of his friends were there, wearing party hats, a cake on the table that read ‘Happy Birthday Hajime”

oh

OH

Y/n broke through the crowd. 

“Chiaki, did you bring the food?”

Chiaki held up the bags of food they just purchased “Yep!”

“Thank you! Happy birthday Hajime!” Y/n hugged him

“T-thank you...”

“Wait...don’t tell me you forgot your own birthday!”

He gave a sheepish smile and Y/n shook his head

“Dummy...”

“How about we get the party started!” Shouted Ibuki, jumping on the couch

“I don’t see why not!”

Makoto Naegi

Makoto his is boyfriend Y/n were officially in an all out prank war

They had done everything, from water guns to throwing flour bombs at each other

But today, Makoto planned to land the final blow

Having purchased the items needed to completely torment Y/n, which included lots of sticky notes, wrapping paper, and multiple alarm clocks, he hurried home to put his plan in motion

What he didn’t expect though, was to walk into the house and step onto a tarp, only to have a bucket of hot pink glitter fall on his head

He reached for the light switch, but instead of being greeted with light, he got the bright flashing on a disco ball and loud music

He stumbled into the house, only to trip on something resting on the floor

He fell and felt what seemed to be whipped cream hit his face

He heard laughing and the music and lights stop, only to look up and see his S/O, grinning and spraying him with neon green silly string

“Y/n!” He stood up and looked around, seeing the mess the living room was now in. “What happened?!” “I finished this prank war, that’s what happened!”

He ran to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, seeing a mess of white, pink, and green all over him

“I swear...I am going to get you back!”

“Well I think you need a shower first!” Y/n swiped a bit of whipped cream off his face and ate it

“You’re so lucky I love you”

Sorry is this isn’t what you wanted, but it was really fun coming up with failed surprises, though I think Gundhams is a little obvious :)

Chapter 4 Partial Rewrite

Hajime pointed confidently at Kazuichi, who hid under his hat at the accusation. “It has to be you!” Hajime exclaimed. “EEEEEHHH?! WHY ME?!” Kazuichi said, pulling his hat farther over his head. “Think about how we found Nekomaru’s body. It was completely dismantled down to the metal plates. Who else could do that so thoroughly… but the Ultimate Mechanic?” Hajime asked. “Oh yeah, I’m just supposed to walk up to Nekomaru and dismantle him with no problems. Didn’t you say earlier that someone would have needed to knock him out first?” Kazuichi said. “I dunno if you’ve noticed… but I’m not exactly buff!”

“I’m with the coward here. How’s this jackass supposed to get a guy like Nekomaru down?” Fuyuhiko said. “N-normally I’d be offended at that… but yeah! I’m not physically strong enough to kill h-” “NO, THAT’S WRONG!” Hajime cut Kazuichi off with a shout. “Kazuichi, Chiaki and I found something along with Nekomaru’s head.” Hajime pulled out a crushed remote, handing it over to Kazuichi. “Can you tell all of us what this is?” Hajime asked. Kazuichi looked at the remote briefly before handing it back to Hajime.

“That’s simple! This is an EMP remote. But how is this-” Kazuichi stopped in his tracks as the gears clicked in his head. “No. No no no nonononono NO. Are you really suggesting-?” Hajime nodded. “That you built that remote, knocked Nekomaru out using an EMP and killed him? Yes, yes I am.” Hajime said. Kazuichi went silent for a while. He yanked off his hat abruptly and threw it at Hajime. “Are you KIDDING ME?! That’s stupid! Nekomaru’s two feet taller than me, you think I can reach that high to knock him out?!” Kazuichi screeched. Hajime sighed at Kazuichi’s refusal to listen. (One Panic Talk Action later…) “Nekomaru’s two feet taller than me, you think I can reach that high to knock him out?!” Kazuichi said, uncharacteristically angry. E M P REMOTE *BREAK!* Tears shone in Kazuichi’s eyes as the truth caved in on him. “Here’s everything that happened in this case!” Hajime said, about to launch into how Kazuichi killed Nekomaru Nidai. He couldn’t hear most of it. Kazuichi started to listen near the end, when he had mostly made peace with the fact he was going to die. “Normally, the culprit would be too weak and cowardly to go after someone like Nekomaru. But after clearing the Final Dead Room, they got some very important supplies: A toolkit and some materials for an EMP. Once they had built it, they hid, waiting for him to walk into the blast zone on his way to Monokuma Tai Chi. Once he did, they detonated it, knocking him out. Then, they used their knowledge of the Funhouse to position him where he would get hit by the hammer from above, crushing his head and killing him. They then used their other tools to dismantle him. Once they had done that, they disposed of the head and remote… Until Chiaki and I found them both.”

Hajime turned to Kazuichi, who was crying his eyes out. “Your murder plan’s been broken down, Kazuichi Souda, the Ultimate Mechanic!” Hajime said with finality as Kazuichi grabbed bunches of his neon pink hair with an afraid look on his face and tear tracks running from his eyes. “Why…? Why would you kill him?” Akane said quietly. “Th-that’s the thing! I didn’t m-m-mean to!” Kazuichi said between sobs. “Huh?” Akane said. “I-I was waiting for Monokuma to walk in so I could knock him out and d-destroy him!” Kazuichi sniffled. “But you jumped the gun.” Hajime said. “I did… I didn’t think Nekomaru would have come in first!” Kazuichi said. “But if you killed him by accident, why did you go through so much trouble not to be caught?” Chiaki asked. “I didn’t wanna get executed! Just cause I killed Nekomaru by accident doesn’t mean I wanna die!” Kazuichi snapped, sighing afterwards. He let out a joyless laugh. “So I guess this is it. I’m gonna die.” He said. “You all voted correctly! The one who killed Nekomaru Nidai was Kazuichi Souda!” Monokuma exclaimed. “And to make one thing clear before your execution…” Monokuma glared at Kazuichi fiercely. “If you pulled off that little stunt properly, it would have been classified as violence against the headmaster and you would have been executed anyway!” He snapped, claws out and shining. “Yeah yeah, get this over with, alright?” Kazuichi said, turning towards Gundham. “Take care of Miss Sonia for me, alright Hamster-Chan?” He said, picking up his hat and putting it on. “And Hajime, we’re still soul friends!” (One execution later…) Gundham clutched Kazuichi’s tattered hat close to his chest, verging on tears. “It is OK… I know you never got to tell him.” Sonia said, comforting Gundham. He could still see that sharp-toothed smile in his memories… (Sorry if there’s any OOC, these are hard characters to write for)

(Mod: Firstly before there is again confusion and I get a ton of messages, this was not written by me but by an anon

Anyway I really liked it. The idea of someone actually accidentally killing another student and then trying to hide it out of fear of death is clever and would have been a nice background for one of the cases

Also don’t worry, I don’t think that the characters were OCC ^^)

How is sdr2 sexist against women and would you make it not sexist?

Wow, okay, that’s such vast subject are you sure you want to open this can of worms ?

Under cut because it went on for longer than I thought it would.

The thing that really doesn’t sit well with me is the lack of agenda of female characters. 

Most of them are passive, waiting for things to happen and never taking any decision. The two exceptions are the killers, Peko and Mikan, but while I like these characters and think they are less transparent than the others, it still suggests that a girl’s motive is always linked to affect. What’s more, to romantic feelings.

Compare with dr1 or ndrv3 ( or even drae ) where girls act for various reasons, if only to get out of the place they are stuck in. Kaede, Tojo, Celes, all these characters take action for more or less good reasons that make them interesting characters. To be clear, I’m not saying that romantic feelings aren’t a good motive. It’s just unfortunate when it’s the only one.

But it’s not just about the killers. All the boys victims in sdr2 are given an agenda : Twogami wants to save Komaeda, Komaeda wants to take everyone down with him, hell, even Nidai is allowed to decide that he wants to fight Tanaka, and to not just be taken by surprise. Compare with Ibuki, or Mahiru, or Hiyoko or Chiaki ( who is supposed to be a killer but I’ll count her as a victim ) who are killed because… what they did in a past they forgot ? because wrong place wrong time ? because of what they are not what they do.

Once again, compare with Sayaka or Sakura ( special case, I’ll admit ), or Miu or Angie. All these characters demonstrated an agenda, the same way male characters are allowed to have one. They are active.

How to fix it -> give women agenda, duh.

Something just as annoying is the lack of character developement for the female characters.

Now, I’ll say it right now : all the characters, male or female, don’t have a character developement, and it’s fine. But why do Hinata, Komaeda or Kuzuryuu had one, whereas Saionji’s was shafted ?

This is especially annoying with a character like Chiaki who is supposed to be the main female character. Whether you’re into it or not, Kirigiri and Maki both have a defined background, an internal conflict, and a chance at changing as a person, the same way the main male characters do. And yes, Chiaki is an AI. There are tons of ways to write an AI, and the writers picked this one.

Dr1 and Ndrv3 actually took the time to give character developement to characters who seemed to be a little shallow at first, like Aoi and Himiko. I have a preference for the way it was done for Aoi, but I recognize that it’s there for Himiko.

Just a point, but this lack of developement for them is really detrimental to the atmosphere of the story in my opinion. Sonia or Akane being exactly the same at the beginning of the story than after going through hell… is really a proof that there were poorly written to be honest. This is a general constat, because I do think the writing of the characters in sdr2 isn’t that great when compared to dr1, but this is especially obvious with female characters.

How to fix it -> give women character developement, duh.

All of this come down to the ‘Waifu’ syndrome, unfortunetaly.

I have no idea who thought this would be a great idea to have every single ones of the female characters in this game written to please the male gamer, but they were genius because that worked super well. All the characters are made to be a potential waifu ( I… am not sure where to put Hiyoko on this one, I’d like to think that she is the sole exception but… Japan… and this fanservice scene… yeah ).

Which mean that they are polite, nice, caring, are all following the ‘fetishized innocence’ line, never challenging or threatening for the MC. In one word : boring and similar. And I’m saying that while loving some of these characters, okay ? I love Mahiru, I love Sonia, I love Mikan. But I’m not blind, either.

That’s why they don’t have developement, that’s why they don’t have internal conflcit, and that’s why they are so passive. Because they aren’t created as characters. They are created to sell PVS figures.

Compare with characters like Celes, Sakura ( even Sayaka ), or Miu, or Angie ? these characters aren’t made to suck up to the MC, and aren’t made to be waifus either. I’m not saying that no one can be into them, I’m saying that this is not their main fonction.

How to fix it -> Understand that all the female characters don’t have to be the player’s waifu. It’s okay. They can just be well-written instead.

My last point would be the way sexual abuse is treated in sdr2

First, obviously only women have ‘sexual abuse’ in their backstory, but more than that, the way it’s treated is problematic. Mikan is treated as a sexual objects while criticizing games who turn their female characters into sexual objects. She has a history of emotional, physical and sexual abuse that the player is supposed to feel sorry about, but at the same time the moments where she is humiliated and forced into sexual positions are made for the player to be enjoyable ? This is annoying, and blurs the message it should be sending. Instead of a good meta-commentary, we have a ‘have your cake and eat it’ game.

I’m not going to go in deep on everything that bothered me : Akane’s backstory being just as strangely incorporated in her character as Mikan’s ( all to not upset the male gamer, am I right ), Teruteru being given a sympathetic motive after trying to coerce Sonia into sexual favor, generally harassing women with sexual remarks ( and yes, he does that to men too, but the ‘rape culture’ is generally more damageable to women, not men ), Ibuki who is considered a lesbian/bi by the fandom, because she compares her boobs to others or gets off on Mikan being hurt and humiliated is also bad writing, like come on, it’s not cute, it’s gross.

Last point, I have a problem with the lack of consent being associated to fanservice. Mikan’s fanservice scenes, Hiyoko & Mahiru’s fanservice, hell, even the fanservice scene with Akane is super bordeline, and I’m not even starting with the whole Chiaki-shebang with her being a AI without a mind of her own being sexualized for the male player, too. I would also say that I felt like my consent wasn’t required either. I’m sorry but I don’t want to see this scene with Mahiru and Saionji, and yet if I have the right object, it will happen without asking me. My consent isn’t required, and it pisses me off ( I’m not super happy with the changing room’s scene in ndrv3 but the game asks you clearly if you want to go through it, at least ).

How to fixt it ->… Kick the sexual abuse from Danganronpa games. It’s obvious with sdr2 and drae than Kodaka doesn’t know what he is talking about. Make more fanservice scenes similar to the one at the pool with Tenko where there is no consent problem.

Sovereign, Zigzag, Allah

Anything in our life could be really uncertain at times but OBSESSION. IS. REAL. So in this post, I’m gonna write about one of my favorite singers that got me really obsessed. Her stage name is the acronym of the title of this post, yes you guessed it right, SZA. Btw fun fact, cara bacanya itu sizz-a ya bukan seu-za. Jujur emosi banget pas nonton Whe The Fest 2018 orang-orang ketika chanting pada manggil nya “SEUZA! SEUZA! SEUZA!” I was like ????? but that’s ok ignorance is bliss. [hahaha canda ya :(( lha kok tai banget merasa superior akan hal tidak penting]

--

Jadi nama aslinya Solána Imani Rowe, she’s an American R&B singer and songwriter. Nama SZA sendiri terinspirasi dari rapper RZA, tapi jujur alesan aslinya sih gak tau juga kenapa namanya kayak gitu... dan sepertinya the ‘A’ for ‘Allah’ is because she was actually born as an orthodox muslim gitu lho.

But the main reason why I am so obsessed with her is not because of her background (obviously), but because of her music and super enchanting lyrics. R&B adalah genre musik favorit gue, because basically I’m such a moody and mellow person, and I dunno but R&B sounds very smooth in my ears and many R&B songs have such meaningful and deep lyrics. In this case, many SZA’s songs are very relatable to my life. I don’t know whether this is right or wrong, but actually what makes me interested in songs are mostly their lyrics rather that the tunes itself, and we all know that R&B songs don’t have the most catchy beats and tunes out there. But SZA’s songs, set aside of their lyrics, have tunes that are very catchy to my ears! Meaningful lyrics and catchy tunes, very big plus point.

SZA’s second (and my uber favorite) album, ‘Ctrl’ (2017)

--

For these past years, SZA’s songs have been accompanying me through life. SZA is actually the only reason why I am attending We The Fest 2018. Actually I wasn’t planning to go to We The Fest that year but suddenly they announced that SZA is going on stage and I booked the ticket right away. On the day of the event I even came late because I just want to see her. Gak deng boong, sebetulnya mau banget dateng dari sore tapi mendadak sore nya gue harus ke Bogor ngerayu mantan gue yang ngambek supaya gak marah-marah, dan sialnya ketika pengen balik ke Jakarta tap gate KRL Stasiun Bogor error gak bisa pake Tapcash trus gue harus ngantri beli tiket harian berkala. On a fucking weekend kebayang dong antriannya gimana. Lho jadi curhat anda.

I may sound exaggerating but I have to admit that SZA’s songs, especially from the ‘Ctrl’ album, really influenced my life. Almost all the songs from that album are relatable to various events of my life and it’s kinda funny to see the coincidences.

My number one favorite is Love Galore;

“Why you bother me when you know you don't want me? Why you bother me when you know you got a woman? Why you hit me when you know you know better?”

The most common scenario in my love life is that I met people who actually flirt with me, acts like they actually show interest in me, and got me really happy but in the end it turned out that they actually just want to have (you know,) fun with me and many times it also turned out that they are not single. And like the song suggests below, I really went extra miles, I went to cities or places that are rather far from my place just to get disappointed. Times like that really got me confused and a bit sad because I had expectations, but this whole song really sings my heart out.

“I came to your city Looking for loving and licky Cause you promised to put it down,

All up in your city looking for you Searching for you like love,

Only thing keeping me from dropping you right now, ...is love.”

--

My number two favorite is Garden (Say It Like Dat);

“Need you for the old me, need you for my sanity Need you to remind me where I come from

Can you remind me of my gravity? Ground me when I'm tumbling, spiraling, plummeting down to Earth You keep me down to Earth

Call me on my bullshit, Lie to me and say my booty gettin' bigger even if it ain't Love me even if it rains Love me even if it pains you

I know I be difficult You know I be difficult You know it get difficult too...”

So what comes off your mind after reading those lyrics? A desperate message from someone to his/her lover begging for love? I was thinking about that too the very first time I heard that song. But no! Actually, that is a message from someone to themselves. I really love the idea behind it because not many singers or musicians really emphasize their artwork to self-love. In my opinion, SZA upbrings issues that are rarely conducted with other musicians and it is actually very warming. Correct me if I’m wrong, but songs have always been emphasizing on heartbreaks, a serenade to a loved one, keeping up with a long-distance relationship... and the list goes on, but actually not many of them encourage people to love themselves more.

Moreover, honestly, I got issues with self-love and self-worth too myself. Many times I feel like I am unworthy to love, I am never physically attractive enough, I am never smart enough. Many times I feel like I will never be someone’s number one, I’ll always only be a second choice, or someone to call ‘just-for-fun’. Many times I feel like nobody will ever hype me up and loves me dearly. Many times I feel like I will never get the ideal job and salary I always want. Many times I feel like I will never make people around me happy because of me. Many times I feel like I will never get the best this world could give. Many times I never feel content of myself. But when one of those days come, this song always helps me to remind me of my gravity when I’m tumbling, spiraling, and plummeting down to earth.

--

Okay. I guess I could make a freaking 1000-page-memorabilia if I write all my reviews and experiences to SZA’s songs, so after this I’ll just write my favorite quotes from SZA’s songs. All the quotes below have extrinsic but deep meanings which I can always match with the situation I am in, and combined with good and relaxing tunes I don’t even know whether I can survive life or not if it weren’t for SZA’s songs. [LEBAAAYY ANDA!!]

--

“Leave me lonely for prettier women You know I need too much attention for shit like that, You know you’re wrong for shit like that

I could be your supermodel If you believe ...If you see it in me.”

Supermodel - SZA

--

“I get so lonely, I forget what I'm worth We get so lonely, we pretend that this works I'm so ashamed of myself, think I need therapy I'm sorry I'm not more attractive“

“Sorry, I just need to see you I'm sorry I'm so clingy, I don't mean to be a lot Do you really wanna love me down like you say you do? Give it to me like you say you do?

'Cause it's hard enough you got to treat me like this Lonely enough to let you treat me like this Do you really love me Or just wanna love me down, down, down, down?”

Drew Barrymore - SZA

--

“Been about three years since I dated you Why you still talking 'bout me like we together? I moved on for the better You moved on to whoever I was down for whatever and then some”

“All that I've got, pieces and pages Talking a lot, sorry I'm faded Think I forgot ...You love me”

Broken Clocks - SZA

--

“I wish I was a normal girl I'll never be, no never be,

This time next year I'll be livin' so good Won't remember your name, I swear

This time next year I'll be livin' so good Won't remember no pain, I swear...”

Normal Girl - SZA

--

And the last but not least, I never thought I’d be obsessed with an Original Soundtrack after Glee era is over. But surprisingly I am, again, ...with a soundtrack from a fucking superhero movie.

“It's the way that you’re making me feel Like nobody ever loved me like you do, You kinda feeling like if you're tryna get away from me If you do, I won't move”

All The Stars (featuring Kendrick Lamar) - SZA.

--

Anyway album pertama SZA keluar tahun 2014, album keduanya keluar tahun 2017, SO MAYBE... AND ONLY MAYBE... A NEW ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED THIS YEAR, NO?? Well, peasants can only wish... and oh don’t act deaf, we are also talking to you too, Rihanna!

Acceptance | Chapter 5

Previously:  PROLOGUE - CHAPTER 1 - CHAPTER 2 - CHAPTER 3 - CHAPTER 4

Jurina waited patiently aside while Gekikara finished getting dressed, considerably relieved to witness her features more relaxed. For a while, as her body kept shivering against her and the older girl refused to leave the comfort her arms provided, Jurina feared she wasn’t emotionally stable enough to resume work after such a traumatizing incident. The thought of suggesting her to leave work early crossed her mind more than once, but she had refrained from doing so when it appeared the stripper had unexpectedly recovered much faster and better than anticipated.

Indeed, Gekikara’s steps were steady when she had slowly pulled away from her embrace and retrieved her clothes from the floor one by one, and her fingers hadn’t wavered in the slightest when she had slipped carefully into them. Even though they spoke little words during the process, Jurina had observed her attentively, reassured to see back in those brown eyes the composure she was so familiar with. Once she was fully dressed, Jurina followed her out of the private room, immediately concerned when she noticed a flash of hesitation in Gekikara’s eyes as she shut the door behind them.

“Are you sure you’re fine?” Jurina suddenly feared the stripper might be attempting to hide her true feelings behind a fake mask of confidence. “I’m sure your employer would understand if you decided to go back home after what you’ve been through…”

“I’m okay,” Gekikara turned and smiled back at her. “I’m really okay. No, I was wondering… When are you planning on leaving the club tonight?”

Jurina was taken aback by the odd question, but checked briefly the time on her watch. “Probably around 1:30 am,” she looked up and frowned. “Why?”

“Would you mind waiting a little more?” The stripper asked tentatively. “I finish at 2 am, and I really want to buy you a drink. I know a nice place a few minutes away from here; it stays open until very late.”

The offer rendered Jurina momentarily speechless, before presuming it had to be linked to the previous incident, and it was the stripper’s generous way of thanking her for her last-minute intervention. Despite being undeniably moved by the thoughtful attention, she shook her head in protest. “No, you already thanked me. I’m glad that you’re safe, but you really don’t need to do that.”

Jurina believed the matter to be over when the older girl didn’t insist and, as she was about to join the main room downstairs and let Gekikara resume her work, felt her hand being seized without warning. “I don’t know what could have happened without your help. Please, let me buy you a drink... It’s the least I can do.”

Startled by the stripper’s unexpected move and tenacity, Jurina’s first instinct was to not give in and refuse. However, as they stared lengthily into each other’s eyes and Jurina contemplated her options, she could feel her resolve faltering under the stripper’s intense, pleading look. Once more, Jurina was confronted with the signs of her own helplessness, all too aware of the powerful effects the stripper’s charms had on her. The more she kept coming back to the club, and the longer she stayed in Gekikara’s presence, the less likely their influence had any chance of decreasing…

“Gekikara…” Jurina winced in unease, but ended up being incapable of saying no to those fascinating small brown orbs, even less when - that hand that had captured hers so effortlessly – strengthened its grip around her fingers. “Yes, alright…” she relented. “I’ll wait for the end of your shift.”

Instantly, a pleased smile spread across Gekikara’s face. “Don’t you dare changing your mind and leaving,” she threatened and leaned forward, pressing a gentle kiss against her cheek. “Or I won’t forgive you.”

The stripper’s cheeky tone didn’t go unnoticed, her last words resonating within her as she watched Gekikara leaving her side and walking away, although not before giving her a last, small playful smile. Unsettled by the out of the blue affectionate gesture, she stood motionless on the spot, the feeling of Gekikara’s soft lips lingering on her skin even long after she had vanished from her sight. As she listened to the sound of her heart hammering inside her chest, she asked herself if she hadn’t just made a huge mistake.

   Jurina leaned her back against the wall behind her, observing the starry sky above her head. These last few days, the weather hadn’t been so generous - intermittent rain coupled with strong wind Tokyoites’ daily lot – but the tide had thankfully turned on Saturday morning, the week-end being warm and sunny so far. Frankly, it had been a while since she had been able to admire such a dazzling view in Japan’s capital.

Not paying attention to the small group of salary men passing in front of her and entering The Blue Moon on her right – the loud music of the club reaching her for a fleeting moment as the front door opened and closed on them - Jurina heaved out a small sight in content. Not only was the sight having an undeniable appeasing effect on her – relaxing her effectively after a strenuous week of studying at the University - the temperature was also pleasant, neither too warm or too cold at this hour of the day.

“Sorry for the wait…”

A feminine, slightly erratic voice distracted her and she tore her eyes away from the sky to glance towards its direction. Jurina swept over the familiar long, dark-haired stripper who had exited The Blue Moon, the tantalizing clothing Gekikara wore within the club having been replaced by a casual, street outfit. Slight discomfort washed over as she recalled what they were about to do, pondering if this rendezvous outside the club was truly a brilliant idea after all.

Gekikara was visibly solely attempting to repay her, but this whole invitation appeared awfully unorthodox to her. Strippers were taught to draw a clear line with their clients, and to absolutely never mix work with their personal life. By inviting her to a bar, the twenty-six years old girl was making a serious infringement to the established rule and evidently crossing a boundary.

Never had Jurina found herself in such a delicate situation with Akane. When the latter still worked at The Blue Moon, they mostly saw each other at her workplace, the only exception being when the older girl stopped occasionally by her apartment for longer and more private sessions. Aside from that, they never went out for a drink, and even less met in a public space. Even if Jurina felt entirely at ease around her, their relationship remained strictly professional until the very last day.

It was an arrangement that suited them both, and the thought of altering it never crossed her mind a single time.

By accepting Gekikara’s offer, Jurina was conscious she was treading in murky waters. If she listened closely to her heart’s profound desires, she wished nothing more but to spend more time with the girl who had so smoothly captured her attention. After all, that’s precisely why she kept coming back to the club week after week, going against her better judgment that was urging her to keep her distance at all costs with the dangerously alluring stripper.

Jurina didn’t misinterpret the stripper’s invitation for anything more but a simple act of kindness, but it was a complex task to keep a clear head and her feelings in check when the older girl behaved seductively, even going as far as provoking an unsuspected moment of intimacy, and kissing her back then in the club.

“Jurina… are you ready?”

Jurina came back to her senses when she felt fingers brushing her shoulder, her eyes landing on Gekikara as a gentle smile touched her lips. Do not follow her, Jurina heard loud and clear a distinct voice warning her of her recklessness. Apologize and leave now, the voice within her insisted, but the stripper had a magnetic effect impossible to resist.  

Nodding softly in agreement, she followed quietly the stripper in the streets of Tokyo as she led the way. It only took them a few minutes’ walk to arrive at destination, Jurina casting a curious glance at the façade when they stopped in front of The Furukawa Lounge Bar. The stripper didn’t wait to push the door and enter, and Jurina instantly could tell she had her habits here when she addressed with familiarity the female bartender behind the counter.

“I often come here after a shift at The Blue Moon,” The stripper answered her unvoiced question once she finished her short talk with the dark-haired employee, that Jurina’s keen hearing didn’t fail to catch was called Rie. “The first weeks, I had difficulty finding sleep when I headed back home straight after work so now, I make a small detour here. Its peaceful atmosphere and the pleasant music helps me unwind.”

Jurina let the information sink in and scanned the place, taking in through the subdued red light the blue sofas and white square tables, surprised to note most of the seats were taken despite the late time. While listening to the jazzy music playing softly in the background, she followed the older girl as she made her way around the place with great ease, leading them to a small, unoccupied table in a secluded area of the lounge bar.

“What do you want to drink?” Gekikara, who remained standing by the table, inquired once Jurina had comfortably settled down. “The usual? Or are you feeling…” she leaned closer, “a little adventurous tonight?”

The stripper’s last words made Jurina pause, caught off guard by the mischief gleaming in her eyes. Tonight, Gekikara was acting more tactile and flirty than usual, and she had a hard time understanding the meaning behind it. It wasn’t extraordinary to witness the stripper behaving in such a way in the club with other clients - after all, it was merely her job to seduce potential customers in order to obtain what she desired – but Jurina didn’t see any valid reason for the older girl to keep on with that act outside her workplace, and even less with her.

“I’m a person of habits,” Jurina answered, concluding it had to be simple professional deformation. “The usual will be fine.”

“Oh, alright…” The stripper sounded disappointed, but Jurina didn’t think too much of it, as a smile moved almost immediately to her lips. “Kirin, then. I’ll be back in a minute with the drinks.”

Jurina nodded, watching pensively the other girl as she walked away and towards the direction of the bartender. Under any other circumstances, all the signs would have been here to indicate that this was more than a friendly meeting. The touching, the teasing, the smiles… but Jurina refused to be fooled by any of it, reminding herself that Gekikara had solely invited her for one purpose, and she had no hidden agenda.

No, this was unquestionably not a date.

A few minutes later, Gekikara was already back with both their drinks. From her peripheral vision, she could see the stripper taking a seat opposite her and slipping her black vest on the back of the chair but she remained silent for a while, clasping her bottle of beer in her hand. Somehow, a part of her was still feeling a little disturbed by this unconventional situation. “You know…” her fingers played nervously with her drink. “You really didn’t need to invite me out.”

When she didn’t receive any reply, Jurina looked up, seeing the other girl fidgeting ever so slightly in her seat. “I wasn’t completely honest with you,” Jurina distinguished an uncharacteristic hint of edginess in Gekikara’s tone. “I didn’t only invite you to thank you. I’ve meant to ask you out for a drink for a while, but I didn’t have the courage to do so. After what happened this evening… I saw an opportunity.”

Jurina blinked in confusion. “I’m not sure I understand…”

“I want to know you better,” The stripper continued. “Maybe you think this is inappropriate, but I enjoy spending time with you. I want to believe we get along well and when I’m with you, it doesn’t feel like I’m speaking with a client. Does it… Does it make sense to you?”

Dumbfounded, Jurina didn’t know what to say. After such an unforeseen confession, she remained cautiously on her guards and searched any sign of deceitfulness in her interlocutor. Could she still be playing a role? But if so, for what purpose? Jurina had made it more than clear in the club – and this from the very beginning – that Gekikara would never succeed in luring her into one those private rooms upstairs. Was she adopting a new strategy, hoping it would change her mind?  

Jurina studied her at length, trying to decipher her true intentions. To her perplexity, she only saw a mixture of shyness and expectancy in Gekikara’s expression. It was so unordinary to witness such emotions reflected in her eyes, that Jurina gradually contemplated the idea that maybe it wasn’t a trick after all, and the stripper could be entirely sincere. At the thought, she relaxed a little, but was still incapable of formulating a semblance of a reply, admittingly failing to grasp what the stripper was precisely expecting from her.

“Does it make you uncomfortable, me telling you this?” Gekikara murmured hesitantly. “Don’t you want to be here with me? I didn’t mean to force your hand earlier on, I just…”

“I want to spend more time with you,” Jurina assured, cursing herself when she unfortunately realized too late what she had blurted out without thinking.  

“It makes me happy to hear that,” A warm smile plastered the stripper’s features, and she extended her arm across the table. “It really does…” she caught her hand, and brushed lightly her knuckles with her thumb. “I now realize you only know me as Gekikara, and I never told you my real name. I’m Rena...”

Within a split second, the atmosphere had shifted between them, their relationship having taken a completely unexpected turn and developed into something more personal the instant Gekikara had taken upon her to reveal such a meaningful information. For a little while, they simply looked into each other’s eyes without speaking, Jurina feeling her desire for the stripper growing stronger with every heartbeat. With a renewed confidence, the older girl laced their fingers together and, for the first time since her first encounter with the captivating stripper at The Blue Moon, Jurina didn’t try to break free.

   Jurina didn’t know what time it was when they left The Furukawa Lounge Bar, but they were the last remaining clients when they exited the place. When the stripper had informed her that she lived only a few streets away, Jurina had suggested that they split up in front of the bar, but the other girl had insisted on walking her back to her subway station. A small smile was plastered on Jurina’s face as they walked side by side towards their destination, admitting to herself that she had truly spent a wonderful evening in the pleasant company of the stripper.

This more intimate moment had been the occasion of discovering new aspects of her charming personality, and it was undeniable that she was falling day by day irremediably harder for the older girl. Lost in her musing, she didn’t immediately feel the hand slipping casually inside hers, and it took her a few seconds to realize what the stripper had done, startled when, all of a sudden, she stopped their progression as they were passing in a dark, narrowed alley.

“About earlier on, I really meant every word I said.”

Jurina didn’t miss the seriousness flashing in her eyes and, when she moved closer, took an unconscious step backwards, but couldn’t prevent further the stripper from invading her personal space as her back hit instantly the wall behind her. “I don’t want you to get the wrong impression and believe I’m playing games with you,” The stripper ignored her surprise and continued decidedly. “I really, really like you.”

Jurina didn’t have time to react that the stripper had already pressed her lips against hers without warning. Shocked by such a bold move, one she had definitely not seen coming, it took her brain a few, pregnant seconds to process what was happening. Once she fully registered her delicate situation, she knew she had to intervene before it was too late. It wasn’t that she didn’t relish the soft sensation of Gekikara’s enticing lips against hers – on the contrary – but there was a crucial piece of information about herself that she was missing.

Gekikara had not a single clue about her true nature.

“You don’t know me,” Jurina broke the kiss, and looked down in unease. “I’m not… I’m not the person you think I am.”

“Do you already have someone in your life?” Gekikara’s words were reduced to a feeble whisper, a flash of apprehension slithering across her face.  

“No…” Jurina refused to lie. “That’s not… That’s not it.”

Jurina bit her lower lip in uncertainty, feeling her resolve faltering when the stripper leaned forward again, her breath tickling her skin when her lips halted merely a few inches away from hers. “Then…” She whispered huskily, sending a shiver down her spine when she placed a lingering kiss at the corner of her lips. “I don’t see what the problem is.”

Jurina wanted badly to counter that this was a terrible idea and they couldn’t do this, but all rational thoughts flew out the window when Gekikara assaulted her lips, and pressed her slender body against hers. The unsuspected craving of those lips that refused categorically to detach themselves from hers caught her off guard but this time, she didn’t try to push her away. Surrendering to her deepest needs, she replied to the kiss with equal yearning and wrapped her arms around her, her hands roaming her back as she pulled her even closer.

For months, she had fought long internal battles with her soul.

And a simple taste of Gekikara’s lips had been sufficient to overcome her last resistance.

JUNE 2017

Hello guys!

Akhirnya gw balik lagi yah. Hahaha, sorry geng, I was quite busy with some stuff. Cuman tenang aja “that stuff” nya itu yang positive kok.

Anyway, how’s your 2017 so far? It’s been a very busy and wonderful year for me so far. Gw ga nyangka gw udah sampe di pertengahan tahun and I am so glad that I took all the opportunity to go closer and closer with Him, with my Daddy God!

Mulai dr mimpin FA, Tuhan gives me another opportunity to lead the Family Retreat for BCS Camp 2017. Yah emang bukan main lead sih, but I’m in charge for NGS (New Generation Session). Gw ga pernah mimpin cuy. Yah kl di suruh ngejagain, ngerangkul, ayolah sini, cuman kl mimpin kayak beginian, event gede kayak gini. WOW! Ga pernah! Cuman Ko Rai dan ce Keke selalu bilang OBEY and keep saying YES. Yodah deh, gw nurut. So far, Puji Tuhan, He helps me with everything. He gave me the boldness to talk to people from different homogeneous group without thinking about “bakal awkward ga yah? nanti ngmgin apa yah? how to start this conversation, etc” Ga ada, bener bener ngalir aja and I know that’s His part. Gw cuman nurut. Hahaha.

He also gave me an opportunity to attend Empowered 21. Wait, wait! Gw attend Holy Spirit NIght dulu deh, Gila, gw ngerasa “basah kuyup” selama minggu itu. Gw cuman dateng ke HSN 2 hari, but with that 2 days, Tuhan ngmng banyak banget ke gw. Di malem pertama I felt nothing, but I talk to myself “It’s okay. Expect more for the next day. Ask Him to give you more of Him and less of you”  and I did it. Di hari terakhir, He gave me another opportunity to share my experience “terima bahasa roh untuk pertama kali”. Itu yah, gw udah bilang ENGGA ke ce keke, Gw ga mau maju, cuman yah emang dia jago ngerayu yah. Akhirnya gw bilang iya. Di situ tujuan gw cuman satu, buta encourage orang-orang yg punya background yang sama kayak gw untuk terus minta bahasa roh WITHOUT ANY DOUBT ABOUT SPEAKING IN TONGUE. Di situ tuh, gw ngerasa banyak point yang ilang, but I know, He’s going to make everything perfect for His daughter. Di hari terakhir pas sesi doa, He asked to pray for one of our FA member. He asked me to approach her and pray about her family. I was like “are you serious? Am I listening to the right voice atau cuman feeling gw doang? Dia duduknya jauh Tuhan” Hahaha, kesel ga sih lo ngeliat gw? dan apa yang terjadi sodara2? SAYA TIDAK BERGERAK. Gw ragu. Jadi gw terus berdoa dong. Trus Tuhan bilang gw 

“RohKu di dalammu lebih besar dari apapun yang akan kamu hadapin di depan nanti” 

Gila, di situ gw yakin itu bukan feeling gw yang ngomong! Karna my biggest fear is MYSELF. Gw takut gw ga bisa ini, itu. Gw ngerasa I’m not capable enough untuk ambil responsibility yang ada di depan gw and when He said that I know that I will get more and more things from Him and IT’S NOT GOING TO BE EASY. Tapi gw yakin Dia jalan bareng gw. I am not alone. Di tambah lagi, malemnya, si bapak wa gw, dia cerita ttg apa yang Tuhan kasih ke dia. He got the same thing man! Dia bilang gw kayak bulldozer yang bakal bukain jalan di depan, tapi gw ga sendiri, ada banyak temen2 yang nopang doa buat gw, KURANG MEWEK APALAGI GW KAK! Hands up! Tuhan baik. Teramat baik.

Di Empowered 21, gw juga di ingetin tentang itu lagi. OBEY and DON’T BE AFRAID. Slap slap! Hahaha! Cara Dia buat ngmg sama domba yang rada bebel gini kali yah. BERKALI KALI! HAHAHA. Banyak banget sih yang gw dapetin tuh. Sampe bingung gimana cara mulainya. Cuman gw inget, Sara Castelanos bilang “It’s not me, It’s YOU” Dia ingetin gw buat punya the same vision as He has for me. 

Don’t settle for earthly vision but settle for HEAVENLY VISION. 

Wow! Dia seumuran gw, btw guys. Gw cuman bisa bilang “wow, yes God. Okay. Right!” Setelah itu gw mikir dan mikir. 

Gila ini panjang banget sih yah, cuman masih banyak banget, gimana dong? Lanjut ga yah?

Okay, bokap gw akhirnya angkat tangan dan siap buat terima BAHASA ROH! Wow!! GILA! Di situ gw cuman bisa bantu doa sambil berbahasa roh dan nangis sejadi jadi nya. Buat kalian yang ga tau. Gw bukan berasal dr gereja yang berbahasa roh. Gw selalu debat sama bokap buat hal ini. Seriusan. Sampe di satu titik kemarin gw bilang ke Tuhan, “Tuhan, aku iri sama orang orang yang bisa bertumbuh di gereja yang sama dengan orang tua nya, Yang bisa cerita  pertumbuhan imannya dengan orang tuanya. Aku ga bisa. Aku pengen papa bilang papa bangga sama pertumbuhan iman aku. Aku rindu itu Tuhan.” Gw doain ini tuh pas sore. Tauga, pas malem2 kita lagi ngobrol tiba2 bokap bilang “Papa bangga kamu bisa pelayanan. Papa bangga kamu di kasih Tuhan tanggung jawab di gereja, tapi tetep jaga kesehatan.” Gimana gw ga mewek sih? Baik banget yah Tuhan! Gila! T__T

Besoknya tuh di gereja Om Djo share ttg bahasa Roh dan di ajak buat altar call untuk siapapun yang mau terima bahasa roh, and you know what? BOKAP GW ANGKAT TANGAN! Itu yah, gw antara seneng dan takut. Seneng karna dia mau terima. Takut kl dia ga dapet pasti bakal debat lagi nih kita. Gw cuman bisa doa sama Tuhan, mewek, bahasaroh, dan terus terusan kayak gitu. Sampe gw blg “It’s okay God. If he cannot get it now. It’s well with my soul. It is well with my soul. It’s okay Lord.” 

Trus pas lunch dia bilang, 

“Papa udah di doain 3 orang, ttp ga dapet. papa udah serahin semuanya. papa bilang Tuhan ini aku hambaMu, pakai aku sesuai rencanaMu. aku mau terima bahasa roh Mu. lepaskan aku dr segala roh2 jahat yg mungkin masih ada di dalamku. Aku berserah.” 

tapi papa denger Tuhan bilang 

“Ladang kamu bukan di sini. Kamu ga butuh senjata itu buat melayani Aku. Bernubuatlah.”

Itu jawaban dari doa gw selama ini tauga sih! Gw cuman bisa bilang Thank you Tuhan. Engkau baik, sangat baik. Dia jawab doa gw dan dia jawab doa bokap gw yang mnrt gw tuh super humble banget, Itu tuh yah, gw bisa ngerasa pas dia doa, dia tuh kayak tanggalin semua pernak pernik dan jabatan dia yang ada di bumi and humbly come to God and ask for that, and He gave him that answer! 

Yah, gitu deh. Gila yah. Baik banget. Ga ngeri gw. Siapa gw bisa experience this kind of goodness dari Dia coba. Thank you Jesus!

Jadi, yah. Gw siap buat jalan terus, maju terus sama Tuhan. Mau apapun yg gw hadepin nanti, gw yakin, RohNya di dalamku, lebih BESAR dari apapun yang ada di depanku!

Sign out!

with love,

Psycho-Pass Characters as Driving Instructors

1. Akane

Unconventional methods that work surprisingly well.

Student: I’m so nervous!

Akane: Good.

Student: I’m ... sorry?

Akane: If you make a simple mistake, you could cause some serious accidents.

Akane: You’re not just holding responsibility over yourself. You’re responsible for everyone on the road. You can’t stay so innocent for long. Grow up.

Student: ...

Akane: So let’s go.

2. Kogami

Eccentric methods that may or may not include casual bullying.

Kogami: WELL? DOES DRIVING FEEL BETTER AFTER YOU ALMOST MURDERED SOMEONE?

Student: *bordering on sobbing* I said I was sorry!!!!!

3. Mika

Rigid and stern, sticks to traditional methods.

Mika: Why did you parallel park like that?

Student: Oh, it just works better for me. I didn’t break any laws, did I?

Mika: No. But if I was your driving tester, I would have immediately failed you even if the car is properly parked.

Student: Then good thing you’re not my tester, right? Ha ha - 

Mika: *glares*

Student: ... ha.

Mika: Get back in the car. We need some serious reforming here.

Student: Yes, ma’am...

4. Ginoza

Will treat you like trash at first, but then acts as if he’s your father (which he’ll deny of course).

Ginoza: Make sure you check your rear view. Are you hungry?

Student: Uh, no, not really. I ate before the lesson.

Ginoza: That was thirty minutes ago!

Student: *suddenly has a basket full of healthy snacks with a pink bow* Wow... thanks. You know, when my friends said you’re actually a huge softie, I didn’t believe them at first but - 

Ginoza: *sternly* Step on it.

Student: R-right.

5. Chief Kasei

A bit too personal.

Chief Kasei: So you were born in 2001 at 5 in the morning, huh?

Student: Y-yes! That’s right.

Chief Kasei: You have two younger brothers. You are struggling academically in school.

Student: I’m sorry, but is that important to this driving lesson?

Chief Kasei: I need to fully understand my students in order to teach them how to do a left turn. Don’t give me that look. I am the instructor.

Chief Kasei: And your very existence.

Student: G-got it!!

6. Sho

Extremely shy. Too scared to offer you criticism.

Sho: G-good. I think you have mastered parallel parking.

Student: I just crashed into two cars and ran into a fire hydrant that’s now pouring water all over the road, creating traffic.

Sho: Y-yeah.

Student: ... So what can I do to improve?

Sho: I said you did good!

Student: I need a new instructor.

7. Yayoi

Not attentive. At all.

Student: Hey, how was that u - turn?

Yayoi: *listening to music while studying music sheet* Hm?

Student: And now I just did a right turn.

Yayoi: And you didn’t hit anyone?

Student: No, of course not!

Yayoi: Oh. Surprising. Keep doing it then.

Student: Can you at least say that while looking at me!?

8. Shion

On one side, she seems to have the ability to see the future. On the other hand, she’s a bit too cozy.

Shion: Take a left here. There’s an unannounced road block on the other side that’s gonna be creating traffic.

Student: How did you know that??

Shion: Good scouting and analytical skills.

Shion: By the way - *shuffles suggestively closer* - your driving is too sharp. Loosen up a bit.

Student: I-I’m only 16!!

Shion: I know that.

Student: Are you allowed to hit on your own students??

Shion: *showing off suggestive skin* I wasn’t hitting on you. I was offering you a suggestion.

Student: *internally* Only forty-five minutes left. Stay calm stay calm stay clam. 

9. Togane

The guy who wants to color you black. Figuratively.

Togane: That would have costed you tons of marks in the real test, kid.

Student: O-oh! Then what should I do?

Togane: Why do you think I want you to even get marks?

Student: Because I need to pass this test and you’re my instructor?

Togane: That was your choice, you know. 

Student: Because I’m... paying you?

Togane: Still your choice.

10. Makishima

Extraordinarily unhelpful. Like, why would book quotes help your driving?

Makishima: To get to know someone, you can’t just look at them. You have to look at what they’re looking at.

Student: *beginning to sweat nervously* I’m looking at the road, sir.

Makishima: No. You’re looking at your soul. Your human condition.

Student: Thanks... for the tip.

Makishima: Listen to those police sirens in the background. I was waiting for them.

Student: W-waiting for them??

Makishima: Yeah. They’re gotten slower. Still, you should step on it.

Student: But the speeding limit is -

Makishima: *cheerful, creepy smile* If you don’t want to be accused of being involved in any of my monstrous schemes, you better be step on it, okay?

Student: *freaked out of his mind* Y-y-yes, sir!!
