#yuzu accepts it and accepts that she's changed

[tvrningout]

i got a bad habit of making muses that are a lil dark for their source material

[rayshippouuchiha]

RMF Kyoraku style: I feel like her being pissed about it and half dragging half throwing them into change regardless of their own desires is just going to make them even more loyal and fanatical. Best Kenpachi or best Kenpachi guys huh? Huh?

Wonder if that means Zaraki will end up as her lieutenant.

Oh absolutely.

Ichigo becomes Kenpachi and as far as the rest of the 11th Division is concerned it's non-stop fun from that moment forward.

She makes them hunt her down? Division-wide game of hide-and-seek!

She kicks their asses when they find her. Their new Taicho is so strong!

And then she starts putting them to work in the Rukongai? Finally, something to actually do all day!

They're fighting gangs, killing Hollows, doing construction? They've never been more respected or accepted by the people. They're taking even more pride in their Division than ever before.

They even ended up with two adorable mascots in Yuzu-hime and Karin-hime and a Division-wide Enemy Number 1 in Isshin Shiba?

Perfect.

And ohhh Zaraki? Yeah he'll come up eventually.

18+ // fluff then a lil smut // Isshin Kurosaki :3 wc 600 selfshiptember; 26 [Ichigo’s grown up + not living at home]

You’ve had a gorgeous afternoon in the sun with your boyfriend and his two girls, setting up camp, playing football, and cooking barbecue food together.

Of course, Isshin’s been running around all day after his precious baby girls, who, realistically, are growing up now. You’ve enjoyed seeing them change and mature over the past few years, and they’ve both been so friendly and welcoming to you from the get-go.

Entering a relationship with Isshin was so uncomplicated– he was open and honest with you from the start. You’ve never been with anyone with kids, but you didn’t realise his would be so… cool.

You catch up with Ichigo whenever he visits, and his younger two look up to you and ask for your advice, wanting you to help with their school work and Yuzu just loves that she can rely on you to help around the house. Karin’s just happy she’s got someone relatable to talk with– she’s starting to really open up to you.

Now, after a fun-filled day on your first ever family holiday– as Isshin has been calling it– you welcome in the cooler evening with a campfire and snacks. The girls take their fill of gooey marshmallows and head to their tent after a late night sugar rush, leaving you sitting on Isshin’s lap under the stars.

“You were great with the girls today,” he ponders, looking unusually thoughtful, “thank you.”

He kisses your lips. He feels hot to the touch.

“Mm,” you hum and smile, returning his kiss with a peck on the corner of his mouth.

You know Isshin was anxious about dating at first, but he welcomed you so warmly into his loving family, and now you couldn’t imagine life without them.

“You’re so good for them,” he draws you in closer, making heat rise on your cheeks when he pulls you to straddle his lap, “and they love you– you know that?”

“Mm, it’s easy for them to love– that’s thanks to you.” It’s your turn to make him blush now, “Their daddy takes such good care of them.”

He returns a breathy laugh, kissing you again.

“You ok?” you whisper over his lips, noticing a certain look behind his dark eyes.

“Just let me kiss you some more,” he utters, sealing your lips and peppering your neck, making you giggle and squirm.

But he grabs your wrists, stilling your movements, shrouding you both in a sudden tension.

His lips remain closed over your neck, holding you and starting to suck gently. Your hips move on their own, dragging over his lap as his kisses trail lower and lower, until he reaches the hem of your sundress.

It’s getting hot, your bodies reacting to each other beautifully, until you hear a sudden zipping noise. 

“Ugh, dad…” you hear Karin mutter and trudge off to the bathrooms.

You both just giggle as he picks you up and takes you to your tent, placing you ceremoniously on the air bed as if it’s some five star hotel.

It’s stuffy and hot, and no place to have sex the way you two like it, so he settles for more kissing, only this time he’s able to continue and pull off your clothes, eagerly burying his face between your legs.

He works you open with his hot tongue, enjoying your taste as you hum and moan as quietly as possible, accepting every loving lick and stroke until you’re too sensitive to continue, pushing him away gently.

He huffs and kisses your thighs, still needy for more as he collapses next to you.

But you’re sure to wake up nice and early to repay him, taking care of his morning wood as the sun is rising.

selfshiptember 26!!

Arc-V Day 6 and 7

I'm a bit behind. Please @arcvmonth, spare me. Don't turn me into a card.

Anyway, for Understudy Spotlight I wanna briefly talk about Roger. I say briefly, because I'll save most of my thoughts for the Villains Prompt. For now, I gotta say, he's my vote for most underrated Yugioh bad guy. I LOVE villains who think they're hot shit, but turn out to be nothing but smug snakes. Plus, his voice actor NAILS his breakdowns. I was surprised to see so many people disliked him (probably Shōnen fans who can't accept a villain that isn't super-duper powerful). Finally, I love me some Disney Villain Deaths.

Anyway, Day 7: Of Amores, Per the Prophecy

Oh boy, does Arc-V have some banger ships. Some of my faves:

Fruitshipping:

Main-guy with Main-girl ships in most Shōnen anime tend to hit with the force of a wet fart, with Yugioh being no different. This is because they fall under the trap of making the girl be the only one who constantly thinks of protagonist-kun, whereas the MC is usually only thinking about fighting, eating, and their male rival who they're totally-not-gay-with.

Therefore, it's wild that these two idiots enamored the Arc-V so much as they, and it was via the use of a very simple trick: have both parties be clearly interested in one another. Seriously, Arc-V turns into an epic, interdimensional romantic drama from Season 2, and it's so strange for a franchise like Yugioh (even if it already happened in GX). Yuya spends as much time thinking about Yuzu as she does about him, and that's so refreshing.

One thing I love about this ship is how much they emphasize that the distance between them doesn't diminish their bond. In fact, it's the opposite, when they're separated that their feelings are most in display. Yuzu's duel with Chojiro is one such example: despite not being allowed near one another, Yuzu still had her feelings reach him.

Them being enemies in their past lives but lovers in this one also adds an extra element of brainrot for me.

Appleshipping and Fallenangelshipping:

I wanna re-emphasize this: we NEED more F/M ships where the guy is completely, stupidly in love with the girl. This applies more to appleshipping admittedly; seeing Yugo explode with joy from seeing Rin will never stop melting my heart. Male characters in anime are often shy of showing physical affection toward their love interests, but not Banana-boy. Plus, imagining how they grew up in poverty is interesting.

Serenadeshipping:

OMG THIS SHIP IS SO GOOD. LIKE I KNOW I HAVE MASSIVE YURI BIAS BECAUSE LOVE LIVE FAN BUT STILL. Ok so you obviously got badass and serious Serena with ray-of-sunshine Yuzu, so the dynamic is fun from the get-go. But we also have the fact that Yuzu became one of, if not the, first friends Serena's ever had. Plus there's the "changing clothes" scene and I'm sure you could do some gay awakening shit.

Also Yuzu is so happy upon seeing Serena late in the series. Just look at her!

And then when Serena betrays them she's so sad. DAMN IT ARC-V, THIS IS FROM THE FREAKING CAPTAIN SOLO EPISODE, WHY IS MY HEART IN PIECES?!

(Extra angst when you consider this is the last time they spoke before getting thrown into Arc-V)

Finally, I imagine she'd be happy to forever be with Yuzu at the end of the series

Lustershipping:

similar dynamic as Serenade, but with a rival-to-lovers tint. It's just cute, mmkay? Aesthetically, this is one of my favorites, Masumi's design is great

Genesishipping:

Sometimes, ships are more interesting for what they don't tell you than for what they do. The showrunners left the nature of Zarc and Ray's relationship ambiguous, which means there's a lot of possible avenues to take it. Enemies to Lovers? Sure, go ahead. Enemies that become lovers because of their new incarnations' unique souls? Works too.

Plus Zarcray fans make some Fire content.

[craneswings]

[SEEING RED] How easily is your muse’s judgement or perception swayed by their emotions and state of mind? Are they most always cool and level-headed, or are they prone to rashness or switching stances quickly?

intellectual imaginings | still accepting!

A samurai fights best when their mind is clear. That means that optimally, all biases should be forced out of their thoughts before fighting or putting their fullest into any crucial activity. This point has been stressed upon Yuzu by her older brother, a warrior she trusts above all others.

So does Yuzu follow this virtue to a T? Well...mostly, I guess?

Although the importance of fighting with a cleared mind has been imprinted onto her since youth, it has only been emphasized during training. There was no older brother to instruct her during her journeys through the fields of war (he was why she found herself in those wars, dude!). Swordplay and battling is what she has trained her whole life for, so the transition wasn't entirely chaotic. But there were always those rare instances where fear, rashness, or panic took hold in combat.

Yuzu is good at hiding it on the outside, but there are occasional moments where it peeks out. I particularly feel this from some of her Cipher cards. Primarily: Series 7's Crane Dreadknight (she is more fawning over the cute clothes, but still out of the ordinary during a war bestie), Series 16's Ogresque Violet Swordswoman (Yuzu is determined in nearly all of her cards, but the text in this one implies she's getting super pumped for this encounter), and Series 20's Dark Mage Training Journey (haha they put the woman into weird clothes again). She does her best to not let this get in the way of fights, but it can and did happen. Now that she is finished with the Boundless Chaos (hopefully???), Yuzu aims to learn this warrior's code further and master it.

A small addition for some non-battle commentary on the matter: Yuzu tries to only strive for what she believes is the best option. Primarily for herself. However, this view can falter when what she fights or strives for potentially harms those close to her. Just look at how she's had to constantly fight with or against the Cipher crew thanks to their changing allegiances. In those instances, she attempts to avoid needing to conflict with her allies...to the death, at least. Yuzu always enjoys a good spar, no matter the circumstance.

Top Ten Arc V Characters (Updated)

I was doing another Yugioh tier list and noticed that my opinions on this changed drastically since I first watched Arc V. So here's an updated top ten Arc V characters. Some of these picks may be partially motivated by spite. Also, I'm definitely gonna go back and forth between sub and dub names. Arc V is about even in dub and sub for me and some of the dub names are easier for me so just bear with me.

10 Dennis Mackfield

Dennis is kind of just funny to me but he does also have a complete character arc that isn't botched or cut off in some way, which is more than I can say for some other Arc V characters. He's a naughty bad guy but an enjoyable one who was kind of just a brainwashed kid with a redemption I can accept.

9 Yuto

The only Yu boy I can comfortably say I still like. He's got a sympathetic backstory that realistically shaped his current personality and while he appears scarcely, I enjoy the times he does. I like his dynamics with Yuya, Ruri, and Shun.

8 Shingo Sawatari

He's a cringe fail boy. I like the cringe fail funny characters that exist to be laughed at. I do wish Sawatari had more of an arc or development but at the end of the day, he's entertaining and that's all a character needs to be sometimes.

7 Sora Shiunin

Rushed as shit redemption arc aside, I find Sora's energetic hyper personality of season 1 entertaining and Sora vs Shun genuinely felt like a huge betrayal. On paper, the reasons for his redemption work and are sympathetic, I just wish more time was dedicated to fleshing it out. Still, wanting more of a character is generally a good thing.

6 Shinji Weber

I like villains/antagonists who have valid reasons for being upset. If anything, they actually made Shinji too valid up until they pulled the "he wants to oppress the rich" thing out of their asses but that's a can of worms on its own. I think Shinji's motivation is understandable, even if, for the writers' intentions' sake he "went too far", and those are the kinds of antagonists I like most. Also, he's canonically good with kids like Crow is and I just really like that. It shows he's got a sweet centre beneath all the gruffness and anger he displays. I like that.

5 Riley Akaba

Talk about wasted potential jesus christ. "This character has known nothing but being a vessel for other people's desires. So let's end the series by forcing her to once again be someone's vessel!"

Horrific treatment aside though, I still enjoyed Riley as a character. I relate to her anxiety, I liked her arc while it lasted, she and Declan have such a great sibling bond, she's still a good character. But yeah... the way the narrative botched her did drag her down a few slots I'll admit.

4 Zarc

One of the only saving graces of the fusion arc as far as I'm concerned. His escalation of wanting more and more violence in his duels as the audience pressured him into harsher duels was interesting and felt narratively cohesive with the better parts of Yuya's arc. And the way he's eventually stopped, not by defeating him but by Yuya understanding him and reminding him why he was duelling in the first place, that's really touching. One of my favourite Arc V moments for sure.

3 Serena

Yeah, I like Serena more than Yuzu. Even putting aside the fact that I loved her Duel Links event and her fusion based deck, Serena stayed a good character. The narrative treated her as badly as it treated Yuzu but her personality, when she was in her right mind, remained the same: headstrong, stubborn, and fierce. Plus she was the first to defect from Duel Academia and she did it best in my opinion.

2 Shun Kurosaki

I like Shun for all the same reasons I like Yuto: his genuinely tragic backstory that damaged him and turned him into the edgelord we know and love him as. He's also just way more badass and has more character development than Yuto. The way he's able to regain some form of happiness and stability over the course of the series despite all the horrors he endured, thanks to his new bonds with characters like Crow and Yuya, was really endearing to me. I'm probably the only person on earth with this opinion but as dumb as the bracelet girls and yu boys fusing together was, I think the one good thing that came out of it was that Shun had to just accept that Yuto and Ruri were gone. I get why people found it unsatisfying, but I think the fact that he was able to move on showed a lot of strength that I have to admire him for.

1 Declan Akaba

Declan is my favourite because I relate to his family situation and I refuse to explain myself further.

....Okay fine. I'll admit, Declan isn't the most well implemented character in terms of Arc V's narrative. I think we can all agree his change in character was out of nowhere and Sawatari made for a better rival to Yuya. But dammit I don't care I like him anyways. I think his moral ambiguity is fascinating. He's fighting on the "right" side and has good intentions and goals but some of the things he does to accomplish that goal range from morally ambiguous to just straight up evil at times and I love that. It's one of the best examples of one of Arc V's core themes: "war corrupts both sides." And while his switch to being a better person is sudden, I can accept it to a degree because in my mind, he always wanted to do the right thing and genuinely cared deep down. It doesn't excuse his early actions but it does help me understand and identify with him.

Also, no, I wasn't joking or exaggerating about relating to Declan's family situation. Without giving away too much, I have an intimidating father who's not around much, a manipulative mother who's around but in all the wrong ways, and a younger sibling who I've had to watch be treated poorly by my mother for years. Declan's situation is more extreme but the similarities are... they're hard not to notice. Declan is number 1 on this list because of how much I relate to and look up to who he is by the end of the series. He'd probably still be on this list either way but he's at number 1 because of how much he personally means to me.

🍓➡ to feed my muse fresh chocolate-dipped strawberries (Akio and Rubina, he makes pancakes with it)

⬅👀 to receive a longing glance from across a crowded room (Celestine and Yuzuha, maybe in a club of a party?)

Love is in the air

Valentines was slightly a mess for her... especially with all the Roses around she was not having a good time walking around that day... mostly avoiding the festivities but one text on her phone put a warm smile on her face.

"I have a surprise for you, how about you meet me after class at my room."

Akio... at least she knew that he would probably have a way to get her a break from all these people trying to court her or get her attention... and so she made her way to his dorm for now, in hope to escape these messes.

Knocking at his room she was surprised to find him casually sitting down reading with an iced tea but before him was a whole set of Chocolate fondue and fruits... she sighed.

"You know how much I can't resist sweets, did you have to torture me as well? I avoided gifted Chocolates enough."

"I felt you need it given how stressful you seemed today... sit down for now."

She gave him a small smile but went quick into a blush as he took one of the strawberries, dipped it in to the chocolate and scooted next to her, taking her chin as if to feed her.

"Y-you don't need to. I c-can eat them myself."

"Oh? Your face says something else however, Ruby. Let me spoil you today, my love."

She pouted a little before opening her mouth, her cheeks felt warm as he held them a small satisfied noise escaping her mouth.

"Alright... I... can't thank you enough... just each year this day is just... I can tell them that I am taken and in a relationship and still they try that hard with things that.... bring up bad memories."

She rested her head on his shoulder. Her wings fluttered lightly hiding her red face.

"You can always lean onto me and tell me I don't mind it... I can be your safe haven."

"I love you so much..."

Even if she was still emberassed she accepted him feeding her more, making small chirp noises at each bite... at least now she could be happy about one thing this day. She rather stay here than deal with the troubles outside.

Valentines was stressfull enough given all the host work but at least after all that Asuna brought him to a party to get some rest, yet given it was still public he couldn't really settle down and just be himself... she meant well but still there was hardly a reason for him to enjoy this... so he stood in a corner, taking a drink and watched the people... predictable and dull.... many of them he was sure about how this night ends for them... these two would go up and endulge in things... the others will end their friendship over a man... he seen many times how ugly this world can be... how boring.

Yet among this dull lifeless crowd something catched his eye... something familiar... bright pink... crystaline eyes... he has seen her before.

Celestine was to him more of the oddity in this room... someone he couldn't predict this easy which made him curious even more. However as his curious gaze fell onto her she returned it... her expression didn't change but he felt her gaze piercing him.. he was called closer to talk to her. So he stood next to her and continued his drink.

"You don't seem like someone who belongs in this atmosphere."

"Do I have to?"

"Not at all. But its still good to meet some different people for once."

"..."

They didn't continue to talk much but they still looked at another as if trying to decipher the other and analyse them... sure his um could be usefull but that be too easy for him.. but before he could stradegize how to approach her... Asuna already swept in and put an arm around his shoulder.

"Yuzu, bestie, you need to try this- Oh did you find a new friend?"

"*sigh* Asu... this is not the right time..."

Celestine slowly walked up but showed one last gaze at him... even if her expression didn't change... he felt something softer about her... as if she knew he wasn't bad... maybe thanks to Asuna... still he sighed.

"Listen I like you bestie but... you really need to read the room more."

"My bad... maybe you will see her again."

"Yeah... maybe."

   Yuzu sat in her chair nervously. Her hands in her lap, her shoulders taut. Asuka, meanwhile, was nonchalant as anything as she got Yuzu ready for her big debut.

   All her life, Yuzu had a singular dream: to sing on stage.

   When she was little, her stage had been the living room floor with an audience consisting of her father and an assortment of stuffed animals or other dolls. Her father would clap and cheer and delight and it made Yuzu feel as though she were more important than the sun.

   When she got older, she tried other stages. Other audiences. She learned to sing properly, whether it was for a school play or a similar community production, Yuzu put in her all and did her best. She was beloved by mentors for her work ethic and often the ire of those who thought they deserved the top spot more.

   Lately, ever since being accepted into the most prestigious studio for musicals and other stage productions, Yuzu felt her critics knew better than her fans. That the latter were just being nice to her, that she didn’t truly deserve her place amongst the cast. 

   She had never been more aware of her inexperience than until now. What was the old saying? Big fish in a small pond? That was exactly what Yuzu thought she was. 

   Yet, somehow, she had been made the lead role.

   Yuzu had sung her little heart out at auditions. She danced and she followed orders. She never invited any slack, she did her best and there was something more to it, as well. A sparkle, a shine, a certain je ne se quois that her fellow recruits simply lacked and yet by some miracle, she had in spades.

   It was harrowing and yet, when Yuzu got the call and saw her name on the list, her whole world changed. Completely and utterly topsy-turvy and it was all because of her mentor, she was sure.

   Enter, stage left: Tenjoin Asuka.

   Tenjoin Asuka, wow, what a woman. She who would not get on stage but instead created darlings of the stage. She was all practicality and no-nonsense, hard work all the way and yet, there was a warmth. She didn’t want to break her pupils, merely fix them. She, like all the other peer leaders, were assigned their proteges in a process of matchmaking at the beginning of the recruitment arc.

   The best got the best, or so it went allegedly. Favouritsim? Nepotism? The whole system was corrupt but when fortune favoured you, it's hard not to love.

   Thus, it all too little surprise, that Yuzu was put under Asuka’s mentorship but there was something about Asuka which had Yuzu enamoured even beyond learning Asuka’s reputation. There was just something about her aura, her helpful advice and her kind smile, her bright eyes. Everything about her amazed Yuzu and she learned so much from Asuka.

   Though Asuka was a tough love mistress.

   She put Yuzu through all the drills from the ground up. Forced her to scrap everything that she thought she knew and started over. It was literally the worst thing in the world for a girl like Yuzu who was more pizazz and talent than hard work but it was worth it in the end.

   The night before the audition, Yuzu sang once more for Asuka and it was far more special than any other barking match they had ever had. She sang until she feared she couldn’t sing at all tomorrow. Her notes carried heart and soul, her pitch was clear and perfect, her lyrics memorised and executed with admiration.

   Yuzu panted when she finished and she felt… Empty. Satisfied and full and yet empty. Devoid of breath and energy but she had done so well, it caused her shoulders to slump forward loose as all she could muster was:

   “I did it. I really did it.”

   Asuka bounded to her feet and applauded her, “I love it! I love it so much!”

   Yuzu blushed, “Aw, gee, thanks…” She couldn’t help but to be humble as she had the praise of such a wonderful woman. She felt as though she could faint.

   That was the one thing Yuzu was sure would never change about her. Wouldn’t matter how big or small the role, how fancy the crowd and how big her cheque would be, all she wanted was to sing on stage for a crowd.

   There was no crowd she wanted to please more than the ones she loved and Asuka embodied a unique niche in Yuzu’s heart. More than friends, more than a mentor and mentee. It was oddly natural despite how unnatural it was to blur such lines between colleagues but at the end of Asuka’s training of her, they were more like equals.

   At least on the inside they were equals. The outside wasn’t ready to know that their mutual fondness and requited passions weren’t strictly professional. 

   Which led to moments like this.

   Small moments where it was just them. Halcyon, redolent. Sequestered away from gossip and prying eyes.

   Backstage was quiet. Especially this far into the bowels of it and when Yuzu, leading lady, was given a changing room all to herself. She was told it wasn’t that big but it was bigger than all the changing rooms combined in the community theatres that Yuzu had performed in previously.

   The walls were cream yellow with white lattice. The desk in front of her had the cliche mirror stickered with platitudes and light bulbs which were lit up softly. More makeup than Yuzu knew what to do with was set out in front of her but luckily, she didn’t need to know what to do with it.

   That was Asuka’s job.

   Yuzu did her best to stay still as Asuka swiped and swabbed, dabbed and stabbed. Makeup was a messy process but it wasn’t one which Yuzu hated. By the end of it, she felt like a princess but those spoils came with a wracking nausea, too.

   The more she transformed into the leading lady, the more Yuzu wanted off this ride. All that was left to do was her hair and for now, Asuka was running her fingers through Yuzu’s pastel pink locks and then again with her brush. She was under strict orders from the makeup department on how yuzu was to look and Yuzu had faith that Asuka would deliver but even so.

   She was nervous and Asuka could tell.

   “You’ll do great, I promise.” Asuka whispered.

   She leaned down and lifted her hand simultaneously. She kissed the strands of Yuzu’s pink hair through her fingers, through her knuckles and closed her eyes. Yuzu was perfumed with the scents of citrus and roses, it made Asuka smile as she held this token of affection for quite some time.

   More than enough time to make Yuzu even more nervous than before but giddy, too.

   Asuka sighed then pulled back, satisfied, she smacked her lips together and emanated the confidence only a veteran star could.

   “Now, go out there and break a leg.” Asuka said. “I want to hear it, my favourite thing, your voice.”

[professionallydeadinside]

"look, i'm not saying i did do it, but i'm also not saying i didn't!"

"Look, I'm not saying I did do it, but I'm also not saying I didn't!"

“So you’re admitting to the crime.”

“Crime is a strong word for a stuffed animal.”

Monarch slammed her hands down on the table, subsequently throwing her notepad as well.

“Yankee is not just a stuffed animal! He’s a respected member of this family! Now where is he?”

“Monarch, I don’t remember if I moved him or not. That’s not an omission of guilt.” Yuzu crossed her arms. If she’d known this playdate was going to entirely consist of her being interrogated, she wouldn’t have even come. But Monarch was, if anything, unpredictable.

“Are you sure Antontina didn’t take it? Rip out all the stuffing or whatever she does.” Monarch paced like she was in a courtroom drama.

“No! I looked through her whole room and nothing!” Rolling her eyes, Yuzu looked around the room halfheartedly at books that had been disheveled and pillows that had been overturned in the search. With Yuzu’s luck, she wouldn’t be able to leave until ten o'clock at night.

“Let’s go on a short recess and then we’ll return, okay? Maybe we can look around the apartment to see if he got lost.” Yuzu was lying, of course, what she really wanted was just an excuse to stretch her legs a bit, but Monarch seemed convinced enough.

“Alright.” Monarch muttered, still deep in thought as they went to the dining room table, which was nicely decorated with small snacks. Yuzu opened a bag of chips as Monarch began to talk under her breath.

“He was here in the morning, I'm sure of it. But when I returned from school he was gone. So someone must have snuck in and taken him while no one was home!”

“Wasn’t your old man home all day?”

“This must be a hardened criminal.” Monarch continued, either choosing to ignore Yuzu or completely missing she even spoke. Yuzu finished her bag of chips and got a juicebox from the fridge, tossing it to Monarch. She caught it and began walking back to her room, no matter how adamant Yuzu knew her fathers were against food anywhere but the kitchen.

“Monarch, maybe we should just accept he’s gone-“

“I won't sleep until justice is brought! Until Yankee comes back home! A criminal walks these bloody streets free and I will be sure to change that!”

Monarch slammed the door open, revealing a certain momomon sitting right in the middle of Monarch’s bed.

“Gasp! Yankee! You’ve returned!” Monarch snatched up the momomon and closely inspected it. Tangerine popped his head around the corner.

“Oh yeah, washed the little bugger because he was filthy. You outta take better care of him.”

Glaring, Yuzu snatched Yankee from her cousins’ hands.

“I told you I was innocent!”

Kotori + CHANGED

Glimpses of the Past | Accepting

The girl wakes up in a forest she recognizes. The Spirit Forest... The first time she had come here, she knew why. Now though, her head felt like cotton, foggy and unable to distinguish anything at all. She felt light, weightless even, as she tries to get a grasp on her surroundings. It takes her a long time to realize that she is not alone in the snowy trees, finding herself surrounded by many birds. One was the forest's keeper, but the others looked a different sort of warped. They all looked the same too, to the point where she isn't sure if it's just one, or multiple clones of each other...

For once, she can look upon the bird itself without fear. She knew she was already cursed. It was the single thing that remained clear in her mind, aside from Yuzu, and that she was looking for something. But what else, what else..? She does not have time to think it over, instead listening to the bird at the front speak.

"You fought valiantly, but you have failed in your mission," it says. Mission, mission... She was looking for a bell, and she could have sworn she knew where it was. But it escapes her now, though many things do now. It feels like the bird is mocking her, that all of them are. She feels clearer in her person now, and she gets a bit angry. This... It must mean she's dead now, stuck in this cursed forest for the rest of her days. What else must they do to twist the knife?

"And what's your point? What do you want from me?" she says through gritted teeth. It's intimidating to have so many eyes trained on her, but she fights through it. She's only been sitting here in her senses for five minutes, and these creatures have already angered her. It bubbles from her as she waits for some sort of response, the equivalent of a raised eyebrow appearing on its face before it says anything.

"Feisty, are you... But it is no matter, that interests me." Such words make her uncomfortable, as it continues. "Like all who fall to this curse, you will now be in service to me forever more. However, unlike the creatures you see before you, your form will suit you just fine." It feels as though it believes itself to be generous and kind for such a thing. She doesn't know if she should feel relieved for this, or be indignant. She decides on the former, believing that she'd do better not to make it change its mind.

Her mind was unclear, and she felt different now, but she was still a person. That would just have to be enough for now.

"Your silence tells me you understand... Good, that saves the effort. You will patrol the forest, for anyone who enters. Lead them to start searching for the bells. That is all." Before she can protest, the figures around her disappear one by one, until she is left alone.

...No, she is not alone. A voice that is not her own speak within her mind. Or, maybe it is many, she cannot tell. They all speak in unison, in a broken speech. There are many thoughts, all at once. She understands the meaning, even if the words should sound like nonsense. It makes her head ache, but she does not complain. It seems as though this would not be changing any time soon.

She does not remember who she was before, but she is herself.

She is Kotori.

Day 14: Halfway to Heartland Tower @arcvmonth

While I think that the Xyz cast tends to be put on a bit of a pedestal among fans, I still like them too. I like the contrast between Yuto and Shun in their initial appearances. Yuto was set on trying to protect Yuzu, thinking that she was Ruri, and while he was set on getting information from Sawatari, he was also willing to stop the duel once he knew that Sawatari didn't know anything about Academia. He only finished it because Sawatari was still set on winning the duel himself. Even when he dueled Sora, Yuto deliberately held back from winning because he didn't want to even make his enemies suffer. Even though he was forced into this Dimensional War where he has to protect himself and his friends, Yuto still was pretty gentle underneath it all.

Shun by comparison was much more aggressive. He targeted LDS members, carding them to get Reiji's attention and hoping to have a hostage exchange to get Ruri back. He was much more set on fighting back than Yuto was and full of more anger. Not that Yuto himself didn't have his own anger problems, but that Shun's anger was much more on the surface compared to Yuto's. Both of their earlier appearances in season one really helped to make them more mysterious and unique.

I also like Shun's development. I just like seeing him become less of an angry bird over the course of he series and I think it works pretty well. While his anger is understandable, I think not willing to trust anyone outside of his hometown was a big issue. Granted, he said his after he found out that Dennis was a spy, so that made him even more defensive. Becoming friends with Crow was his first real step in letting down his walls a bit. The Bird Bro Fist is also just amazing. He seemed more comfortable and willing to work with the rest of the Lancers afterwards as well. I like his friendship with Yuya as well. I liked their chemistry during their duels and just seeing Shun being a bit happier with him was just really nice too. After seeing Yuya's duel against Jack and how it brought the City together, I could believe that made Shun trust Yuya more as well.

I actually like Arc V Kaito quite a bit as well. Maybe it helped that I'm not a huge Zexal fan to begin with, but I kind of liked the changes they made for this version of the character and I think he generally worked for the role he was given too. He felt more like season one Shun in terms of being aggressive and hostile, even towards his allies, and that's why their duel worked. It was to show how Shun had changed over the course of the series up to that point, while also laying the foundation for Kaito's change, and I think it worked well. .I also really liked his Cipher deck, to he point where I wish we got to see more cards for that archetype, and his new Galaxy Eyes ace monsters were really cool too. I really liked that he got to duel in his black coat. Kaito's design never looked good to me with lighter color schemes, including his Photon Change Mode back in Zexal, so seeing him duel in his default outfit was nice. I liked his teamwork with both Ed and Shun during their duels near the end of the series as well.

I also really liked Yuya vs. Shun. I thought it was a good matchup and a solid last duel for Shun. I also think that it gives Shun better closure than fans tend to give it credit for. Shun was lashing out at Yuya after hearing Leo's theory about the other counterparts being erased, and he was going to accept that they were gone if he lost. But he didn't even after he lost. He felt Yuto's presence in Yuya, which made him realize that both Yuto and Ruri were still alive in Yuya and Yuzu respectively. Unsurprisingly, Leo was wrong. The counterparts weren't gone forever or erased from existence like he said earlier. The whole point of the match was to give Shun hope, something that I don't think he ever really had despite fighting Academia for so long. He knew that they both live in Yuya and Yuzu and he had hope that he'd see them again, which he did in the finale. This is a huge reason why I've never liked the notion that Shun is sad and alone forever post-finale. It always felt like adding unnecessary angst to his story while also ignoring the resolution to his duel with Yuya. Admittedly, it might also help that I've never agreed with the fan interpretation that the counterparts are dead after they merge. I understand why fans treat it as such, but it always felt more like fan interpretations treated as if it was canon to me. This is also one reason why I don't have a problem with Yuya and Yuzu being permanent fusions with their respective counterparts. Even if we go with that interpretation, Shun still has friends like Yuya, Crow, Kaito, Allen and Sayaka, so he wouldn't be dealing with any grief all on his own anyway. This is also one reason why I feel mixed on Shun's Duel Links event, but I'll cover that more for that prompt later. My point is that while it might not have been an ideal happily ever after ending, I still think that Shun feeling genuine hope for the future instead of being full of anger or sadness over not being with Yuto and Ruri again does end his story on a hopeful note.

Shiroichi Hunger Games AU:

Shiro [undecided surname] formerly known as Zangetsu Aizen, ran away from the Capitol when he was 9. He could not handle the pressure of being his sperm donor’s Career Tribute, so he took to District 12, hoping to all hell he’d be anonymous.

So he changed his name to Shiro, took to the mines, camped out in the ruins of District 13. And then he came upon a head of orange hair. A boy—despite what his father says—dangling from a trap, smiling, who caught a rabbit all by himself.

“Does your family know you’re here🤨?” “😅Kind of? I have to tell my Mom and sisters SOMETHING!😨” “😑Just don’t tell ANYONE about me, and I won’t say shit” “Deal🙌🤝””🤝” He was adorable, and damn it, he was born and raised to fight Talent, so he taught the boy how to hunt. Shiro’s weapon of choice continued to be a blade, but Ichigo took to the bow and arrow like a charm. Something his mother used to do, he said, before she met Dad.

Shiro remained tight-lipped about anything and everything about the Capitol, and tried to drag Ichigo from anything that he suspected was Capitol material. Such as the slaves.

And the albino slowly fell in love.

So when one day Ichigo stopped smiling altogether, it devastated Shiro. Like the day the young Career cracked and fled.

His shitty father exploded in the mines.

Ichigo took his last cry onto Shiro.

The young Career has a new mission in vengeance: Protect Ichigo. Keep him alive

So when Yuzu was called up, Shiro dreaded—“I volunteer as tribute!”—yeah, Ichigo’s the s**cid*l idiot.

—Then what does that make you?

Yeah, the government’s insistence on not changing birth records from female to male is going to cost them his mission’s life—the volunteer accepted it.

Yet another surprise is how pallid Ichigo went when Shiro was finally called up. It can’t be, they’re just friends—Are you sure? even losing family didn’t scare him this much.

He’s going to have to kill his love, his Talent.

He’s going to have to face his Father again.

Heat from fire, fire from heat.

Edit: Aizen quickly moved on from Shiro’s disappearance, looking fir the next experiment to Tribute. He found Wonderweiss Margela, and now they and Shiro have to face off

[magpiejay1234]

So Episode 132. A fair amount of stuff happens here.

After the recap, Yugo is kicked back, Yuri states Yugo's Duel was good, Yugo boasts about it, Yuri states they are the same, sarcastically says sorry, and states they will be together forever now, and absorbs Yugo. Yusho tried to stop this, but was too late.

Yuri states the other half is nearby, Yuri, and Yuya do the hitotsu routine.

Yusho states they will become one, and revive Z-ARC at this rate.

We return back to Reiji vs. Reira. Reira cries about Reiji's defeat, but Reiji actually activated Action Magic: Miracle. Reira is surprised, Reiji asks why they are surprised, and states their comments about this being Lancers' style back at them.

A brief break here. Action Magic: Miracle is obviously a reference to Yuya, and this is supposed to show Reiji's trust to Yuya, and of course, his belief in the fact that neither Reira, or Ray are actually willing to sacrifice the multiverse just to have a shot at sealing Z-ARC once more. However, as we discussed before, in the previous Duels, Action Magic: Miracle was supposed to showcase Ray's influence within the series. Here, in this Duel, he is fighting against Ray, meaning this isn't a manifestation of Ray's essence, but Yuzu's will to return to life as an individual, surpassing Ray's influence, in addition to the bond among the Lancers.

Ray, of course, clearly didn't get this, but yes, as we find out later, the love between Yuya, and Yuzu (though really Yuzu's side of the equation is really the focus), which aren't even the hetero couple in YGO with the closest bond, is stronger than both God (Ray), and the Satan (Z-ARC), who, mind you, are also strongly connected to each other in this context.

This is what happens when you are part English I guess.

Reiji admits he underestimated Reira, but they have now changed before his eyes. Reiji states he is fine with Reira carrying out Ray's will, but will stop Leo regardless, thus, since Reira believes they need to Leo to succeed, Reiji cannot allow this, and now they can't really do anything.

Reiji Summons Tomb Conquistador from the Pendulum Scale. Reira states even though it is Level 10, they cannot beat them, because they have the same ATK, but by sending Eternal Darkness to the GY, Tomb Conquistador gains enough ATK to defeat Reira.

This Duel largely exists to showcase Eternal Darkness, and Darius, since rest of the cards here are not yet printed, but Tomb Conquistador, based off Herman Cortes, is supposed to be Reiji's Tribute Summon Monster, symbolically representing the Standard Dimension's will. Reira's defeat also showcases Ray, at this point of the story anyway, is just one of the obstacles who is unwilling to let go of the past, tying with the generational conflict theme of ARC-V. She is not fully egaofied.

After the Duel, Yusho is knocked by Yuri using Z-ARC's power. Yuri states he is also now Yugo, Yusho explains what happened, then states if they defeat Yuri, and stop them from fusing, Z-ARC will not revive. Yuri, appearing right in front of Yusho, states he has no time for him, and knocks him back with Z-ARC's power.

Reiji screams, Yuya says dad, and Yuri notices. Reiji tries to stop Yuri, but Yuri knocks him back.

Yuri asks what he meant by father, and if he has parents. Yusho states yes. Yuri states this explains why Yusho is stubborn, but this won't stop him. He states Yuya wants to become one with him, Yuya tries to do the hitotsu routine, but can't manage it. Yuri states even though his father doesn't approve, he is all in Yuya's mind.

This is an obvious sex joke.

Yusho states he is not just fighting for Yuya, he has another reason. Yusho states since Yuri is here, Asuka has lost, and he carded many of his students. Yuri asks what Yusho will do about it, Yusho states it is his duty to avenge them, Yuri states they were carded because they were weak, and it is not his responsibility. He states Yusho won't be more than an annoyance, but he will accept his challenge, so he can card a father in front of his son.

Leo states now that Yugo is absorbed by Yuri, they need to move on to the next one. The operator states the plan was to absorb Ruri at %70, but Leo states Ray must be brought back as soon as possible, obviously, to defeat Z-ARC. Ruri is absorbed improperly, and quickly.

We cut to Yuya (who presumably felt Ruri's absorbption), who screams father, Reiji asks if Yuya, and Z-ARC are fighting. Reira states Ray is telling them Z-ARC's revival is soon.

Yusho starts his routine, Yuri tries to gloat, and states Yusho has the option of being carded now, or after the Duel. Yusho prefers the second option.

Yuri starts the Duel, states defeating Asuka with the Honor Student (Ancient Gear) was fun, but he will use his own Deck. Yuya screams, Yuri states he cannot wait to become one with him.

Another sex joke.

Yusho starts his turn. By Tributing Revue Dancer, he Summons Sky Magician, Yuya, and Reiji note this. Yuri asks if Yusho is using a Spellcaster Deck, Yusho states it is an Entertainment Deck.

Entame routine begins. Yusho states he will reveal Yuri's trump card. Yuri notes Magician's Right Hand destroys Spell Cards, but asks what happens if both of his Set cards are Traps. Yusho states, he loses, and he lets Yuri to card him without resistance.

As you might have figured out, the deal is the same as the brief Duel with Dennis, Yusho already knows Yuri's ideology through him. Yuri doesn't get this.

Yuri asks Yusho to reveal his trump card, Yusho states he will use Sky Magician's effect first, then attacks, forcing Yuri to activate his set Trap Dark Seed Planter, to make Sky Magician DARK. Reira is agitated, Reiji tries to say Sky Magician, Yusho's ace monster, will never fall into darkness, but Yuya completes him.

With Sky Magician's second effect, Yusho uses Magician's Left Hand to get rid of Dark Seed Planter. Everybody except Yuri egaos.

Sky Magician battles once more. Yuri protects himself, and asks doesn't this mean Yusho failed. Yusho makes a sarcastic reply. Yuri then gloats he immediately went to protect his Ace Monster, and is thus predictable, but Yusho explains his tactic. Yusho states he will reveal Yuri's trump card in one try, and thus needed to remove one of his Set Traps. Yuri realizes he has been baited.

Yuri being baited here parallels Leo's baiting of Reiji in the few episodes back.

Yusho activates Clairvoyance, an allusion to various DM era cards, to guess Yuri's card. Yuri reminds him if he fails, he loses.

Yusho, before explaining Yuri's trump card, does the routine, to explain how he found out Yuri's trump card. Because Yuri didn't react, he needed to found out the Trap first, once he did, he figured Yuri was trying to convert Sky Magician into a Fusion Material, and his trump card wouldn't have been affected by Right Hand. The only well-known Fusion card that cannot be affected by card effects is...Super Polymerization, used against both of Yusho's students, Asuka, and Kaito.

With the correct guess, everyone except Yuri egaos.

Next episode is the continuation of the Duel.

That's the episode, here's the meta.

Reira, and Ray being defeated by Reiji was largely unrelated to actual plot of the show, but hugely relevant to the themes of the show, and the finale Z-ARC Duel, as it sets up Reira, and Ray's roles in that Duel (and Ray learning to trust the Lancers through both Reira, and Reiji), but also Yuzu's.

Small bit of Yuzu's, and Standard Dimension's collective will being implied to be stronger than both Reira, and Ray's wills is not that surprising, since En Flowers is the manifestation of the plant life's will to survive in all environments, but as we discussed before, En Flowers negate all Effect Monsters, that includes Links. Also, this is YGO, the past incarnations always eventually lose to their successors.

For the main event itself, Yuri vs. Yusho is supposed to parallel Leo vs. Reiji and Yuya, so you know Yusho is eventually going to lose, which Yusho probably expects. The point is of course not to win, but make Yuri egao to make him regain his true sense of self he lost ages ago. Since this Duel almost entirely parallels Dennis's short Duel with Yusho, Yusho knows the only way to make Yuri turn around is to destroy his false ego, and rebuild it from ground up. So, if he cannot defeat him, he must make a fool of him, in a way that ensures he laughs at himself.

This episode heightens Yuri's gay villain coding, likely as a meta joke on Shin Yoshida's antagonists, but of course, Yuri is in the designated comphet ship with Serena. Don't ask Reiji, or Shun how this works, since Ray clearly doesn't get Reiji's deal with Serena either.

Tomb Conquistador's attack name is The End of Empire, alluding Leo's title as the Emperor of the Fusion Dimension, but also Herman Cortes's conquest of Aztec Empire.

Dark Seed Plant is an allusion to Dark Seeds from Digimon Adventure 02, tying with the Tamers references from S1, though the artwork is based off Virus cards, since the card is likely meant to combo with them.

"Happy birthday Sonia. Made you some chamomile tea and some biscuits to go with them. Hope you enjoy".

Sonia's Birthday Asks 2023 - Accepting until Monday, October 16!

That was a surprise! Sonia was used to Akira generally not favoring most of the flavors she did, some fruit flavors aside. It was why whenever she was given an assortment of macarons, she made a point to set aside the likes of raspberry, or yuzu, or peach aside for him. So the fact he offered tea and biscuits on her birthday was a welcome change. If anything, it drowned out the strong smell of coffee beans at the coffee and curry shop where he lived and worked, and they could both agree that that was an improvement on the bitter scent, bitter taste, and generally unwelcome presence that came with black coffee. 

"Kurusu-san, thank you," She smiled, inhaling the comforting scent of chamomile before her. "This time of year is always quite busy and stressful. How did you know chamomile was exactly what I needed? And I shall never say no to biscuits." Plum-flavored biscuits aside: those were truly an offense to the senses. Rather how her friend found chocolate: so while she didn't fully understand his distaste for it, she could respect it. Begrudgingly.

If just for the fact that on Halloween, she was an eager receiver of any and all good chocolate Akira managed to collect and, naturally, did not wish to keep. A fact that made her grin between bites of a biscuit, though the mildly sweet taste of the snack also improved her mood. "What are your plans for Halloween this year? Do you plan to don a costume and cause plenty of mischief in the city?" She hadn't yet discerned if he was a horror movie fan like herself, and she couldn't assume he'd spend the holiday as she did: costumes, candy, and her favorite horror icons. Some called them villains. Sonia called them fascinating, and worthy of decorating anything she could with their image.

Can i pls request r getting seriously injured -hitting her head and losing consciousness- during an international competition because someone sabotaged her skates with yuzuru hannyuuuuu (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

r - reader

It's me again ( ╹▽╹ ) i rlly like how u write so i sent this rqst ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

it's also okei if u can't write it or it's too specific (✿^‿^) I'm fine w anything

Another Anonymous asked: if you're able and comfortable could you do a yuzuru hanyu x gf skater reader and she gets badly injured/faints while practicing and he gets really worried and rushes to her side and they take her to the hospital and he stays with her the entire time but one night he has a competition the next day and she tries urging him to go?

A/N: I haven't written any Yuzu fics in a while not because I didn't want to but more so I didn't have the feel for it but since the Olympics just happened (let's not talk about what happened), I decided it's only fitting to do so!!

I hope that those that are asking if I accept Yuzu requests know that yes, I do but I don't really immediately get into the request because I feel that I need to be in the zone when writing; not cause I don't like your requests but because I don't want to put anything half-assed :"

Also, I decided to combine these two asks since I feel that they would tie in nicely with each other :)

Warnings: toxic sportsmanship behaviour

You and Yuzu have known each other ever since he started to move to TCC to train. Ever since, you would bump into each other during some practice sessions and for some reason ended up talking with each other to the point you both exchanged contacts.

Oh, those were the easy times...

Years later, you both are still as close as ever. Javi and Jason would joke around saying that if they didn't know better, the both of you have some sort of relationship but it's only the both of you that are basically in denial of this.

Well, can you blame the two men? Whenever you're both assigned to the same competition, you would always find a way to talk to each other, watch each other's practices and even competition; congratulating each other whenever y'all made it to the podium. Heck, even at the banquet, you were one of the only female skaters that Yuzu actually talked to.

While it may seem nice and all; it sort of sparked some jealousy amongst several female skaters. To be fair, they weren't just jealous of "this luxury" you have but because you were an all-rounder skater. Being one of the few skaters that have consistent skating (both in technical and presentation, also having one of the rarest elements, the 3A).

The comments didn't really bother you that much since you were used to them since your junior years and you had your own way to live with it. But this time, it got to a whole new level to the point where you had to withdraw from the competition.

You just arrived for practice and was going to the bathroom before changing into your skates. When you came back, you casually put on your skates and grabbed the essentials and headed to the rink. Taking off your blade guards, you handed them to your coach and actually went into the rink and started your practice.

But throughout your practice, you felt that something was off with your boots. You went to the sidelines to check on your boots and everything seemed alright. You even tried to untie and retie your skates to make sure that the laces weren't loose. But even so, it still felt a bit off.

Because it didn't feel right, you decided to just do some simple strokes and spins before actually committing to a full jump since if there were problems with your boots, doing a jump would be the last thing you would do.

Feeling fine after several spins and small run-throughs, only then did you have the courage to actually jump. You looked around and when the coast was clear, you prepared your jump and it was going well until you felt your feet slightly lighter and turns out the bolts that connect your blade to your boots fell out and thus making your blade fall off and you fell, landing very hard to the point that you hit your head and blacked out.

The next time you wake up, you heard beeping noises and a heavy weight on top of your body. Trying to lift your head a bit, you saw a figure that you know all too well. It was Yuzu. He looked like he just slept after not sleeping for maybe a few days. Which made you wonder. How long has it been since you were out cold?

Shifting a bit, you accidentally woke Yuzu up who, upon seeing you awake was shocked and immediately tried to lay you back down but when you insist on sitting up, Yuzu finally decided to help you sit straight up.

You tried to ask Yuzu to tell you everything that happened after you blacked out which he was very hesitant and his sentence structure was all over the place. But after a while, Yuzu told you from the beginning. How the coaches and practically everyone (except "some" people) were shocked and basically stirred the entire stadium into chaos. It was later on did people find out that some skaters actually sabotaged your skates, loosening the bolt hence the blade and boot separated from each other.

You were at loss for words. You never expect that people would go to this certain extent to cut you out from the competition. You were just zoning out until Yuzu grabbed ahold of your hands in his, telling you that those skaters were banned from any competition throughout the rest of the season and that they will be sued to pay for all your medical expenses.

But you being the nice person you are, you tried to tell Yuzu that you don't think suing them would bring any justice or anything. Yuzu tried to redirect the topic and asked how your leg and head were feeling which you tell him that they feel okay.

The both of you kept talking for a while until you realised that you haven't asked how long have you been out. You asked for your phone which Yuzu handed to you and you figured out that you've been out for a good 2-3 days and it was supposed to be the men's free skate the next day.

You scolded Yuzu, telling him to go back to the hotel and rest for his competition but he refused. Telling you that he got enough rest and already did his run-through several times before coming back to take care of you. Sighing, you just reminded him that he better be in his best shape during the free because you would be watching him through television which he chuckled and said that he'll definitely do his best.

"I promise that I will bring back the gold not only for me, the fans, my family or my country but for you as well. Then, once you're all better, I'll treat you to a nice dinner so you can get your strength back and we can train again" Yuzu mentioned, holding your hand even tighter

"Okay. But I'll go out even if you don't get gold. I want to eat good food" you whined as Yuzu just chuckled and tucked you in bed once more

"We will. Now rest up" Yuzu softly whispered, pecking your forehead

A/N: honestly, wasn't sure how to end it but I hope it turned out alright. To the other anonymous user that sent the request where the skater got injured and got into the hospital, I hope that you read this and apologies for taking so long in writing your request :" have a nice weekend everyone!! :) xoxo vinet
