[the-100-days-of-junkan]

Hello to all you Junkan Fans out there! After mild forgetfulness and no further delay, here's the prompt list for The Month of Junkan! (coming november 1st-30th) If you participated, or wanted to participate in Junkan Week this year then you'll probably know what to expect here! First off, rules!

Any NSFW Pieces must be put below a "ReadMore" or behind a Link

No AI

Unlike with Junkan Week we'll allow for other relationships to have more prominent appearance (Especially for the Double Date Prompt), though it still stands that this is a Junkan Focused event so no polycules for the star girlies.

Make sure to Tag your posts with #JunkanMonth and an @the-100-days-of-junkan to make absolutely sure I see your post and can reblog it!

And of course don't let the size of the event intimidate you! Whether you wish to participate for every single day of the event, or just a few of them, as long as you're following the rules and having fun it's good with me! Any amount of Junkan added to the world is a good thing in my opinion. Plus you've got plenty of time to prepare and think over your plan! I of course am aiming for every day of the event and hopefully then some, but I am also an inhuman machine over this ship and should not be the standard!~ Do what feels right for YOU!

All styles of artistry are welcome! Normal Drawings, Fanfic, Photography, Sculpting, SFM, ominous carvings in the side of a tree, if you consider it a way to express yourself artistically and you can figure out a way to turn it into Junkan, go for it! You'll notice I didn't make two lists for this one unlike Junkan Week! Mostly because I couldn't think of that many soft or toxic prompts! Instead ya'll have full freedom to make your pieces as soft or as toxic as you wish! Or both! Whatever feels right to you for the prompt!

And now for the prompt list written out proper.

THE MONTH OF JUNKAN PROMPT LIST

Day 1 - Start (or Free Day) Day 2 - Alter Ego Day 3 - Music Day 4 - Superstition Day 5 - Pop Day 6 - Heavy Day 7 - Gamble Day 8 - Mysterious Day 9 - Orange Day 10 - Machine Day 11 - Style Day 12 - Double Date Day 13 - Unlucky Day 14 - Walk Day 15 - Summer Day 16 - Wonderful Day 17 - Hidden Day 18 - Monokuma Day 19 - Strong Day 20 - Winter Day 21 - Blush Day 22 - Blood Day 23 - Treasure Day 24 - Ache Day 25 - Holiday Day 26 - Medicine Day 27 - Alternate Universe Day 28 - Toxic Day 29 - Soft Day 30 - End (or Free Day)

Oranges and Plums

Summary: Junko doesn't like coffee, so when the one store she goes to has new management, she's angry.

Until the new cashier offers her something new.

for @the-100-days-of-junkan's Junkan Week event!

Rating: T.

AO3

“What do you mean you’re out of crunchballs?  Man.”  Junko purses her lips to one side, near scowling.  She taps her long red fingernails on the counter, and her head tilts to one side.  “They’re the only thing worth shit in here.  Even your coffee is nasty.”

This, strictly speaking, is not true.

All coffee is nasty, in Junko’s opinion.  It’s far too bitter for her, and by the time she’s doctored it the way she wants for it to taste something resembling good (and still not really good in her opinion), everyone makes fun of her for it.  Especially her sister, who says she��s not a real man if she doesn’t drink her coffee black.  Like she wants to be a man!  Ugh.

But this is the one coffee shop in all of Tokyo that smells somewhat acceptable.

It’s not just the strong, pungent scent of coffee.  It’s half of a bakery, too, and the smell of fresh-baked bread is far and away better than the coffee.  Especially the cinnamon bread, which mixes its sweet scent with the layered yeast of the rest of the bread and makes the coffee’s bitterness fit, somehow.  Particularly, it keeps Junko from feeling like she wants to be sick.

Which is why, whenever Mukuro returns from her many, many missions overseas, they always meet here.

Mukie’s never here very long.  She’s usually only around for a layover between flights; sometimes those can be nearly a day, sometimes they’re only a few hours, always there’s enough time for the sisters to spend at least a little time together.

But the point is that Junko never comes here without her sister, and there’s often months between her visits.  Sometimes longer.  This time, the coffee shop shut down and reopened under new management between their visits.  Which is why their menu is just slightly different.  Including—

“U-u-um.”  The cashier nervously looks one way and then the other.  “We don’t.  Um.  We don’t have…we don’t have c-c-crunchballs.”

“Right.  That’s what I said.  You’re out of them.”

“N-n-no, I mean.”  The cashier swallows, and her quiet voice gets even quieter.  “We don’t…we don’t make them…any…anymore.”  She’s so quiet by the end that someone else probably couldn’t even hear her voice.

But Junko hears it loud and clear.  Her eyes widen.  “What do you mean you don’t make them anymore?  How despair-inducing.”  She groans and rolls her eyes.  “Fuck.  Mukie’s gonna have to find us another shop.  This one’s a wreck.”  Then she shoves a hand through her hair and glances at the cashier.  It’s the first time she’s really looked at her, in the same way that most people don’t really look at their cashiers.

She’s…kind of cute, with her hair pulled back like that and the little flush around her cheeks.  What’s her name?  Mikan?  What, like oranges?  The little tiny ones?  And her hair and eyes are all purple, like plums.  Hm.

“Say, Mikan-chan,” Junko murmurs, “you got something else?  Something you think is really, really good?”

“U-u-um!”  Mikan shrinks in on herself, the soft blush on her cheeks growing darker.  “We, um!  We have—”  She licks her lips, and then a soft smile curls about her lips.  “H-h-hold…hold on just a…just a minute.”

Then Mikan disappears in the back.

Junko sighs and glances behind her.  There’s not any line, not that she cares about that, and Mukie’s still not here, so she’s not wasting any of her time waiting.  Still.  Her lips press together, and her brows raise as Mikan returns from the back with a platter of something between gloved hands.  Whatever it is, it smells amazing.  “What’s that?”

“Orange butter biscuits, right….”  Mikan swallows.  “Right out of the…out of the oven.”  She cuts Junko a slice, sets it on a paper plate, and holds it out to her.  “H-h-here.  I hope…I hope you like it.  It’s still hot, so don’t…don’t—!”

Junko cuts her off as she shoves the whole thing in her mouth.  It burns her tongue, but dang if it doesn’t taste great.  “I’ll take ten,” she says around the biscuit still in her mouth, trying to breathe carefully so her tongue doesn’t hurt more.  She swallows it down.  “Or the whole tray.  I can get the whole tray, right?”

“Y-y-yes!” Mikan stutters out.  “It’ll just…it’ll take a few minutes, um….”  She pauses, then smiles gently.  “You should…you should try it with the plum…the plum tea.  It’s really…really good.”

“You have tea now?”  Junko’s eyes widen.  She licks the crumbs from her lips.  “Yes.  That, too.  Two cups.  I’ll make my sister try them together before she drinks that weakass bean tea.”

“C-c-coffee.”

“Yeah, yeah, that’s what I said!”  Junko waves a hand dismissively.  When Mikan giggles, she smiles.

Okay, so maybe this place isn’t so bad anymore.  It’s still a coffee shop, but it’s got enough other stuff that maybe…

Maybe she’ll come by once or twice on her own.  Mikan is kind of cute.  Maybe—

Hm.

Junko grins.

Junkan Week: Day 7- Despair @the-100-days-of-junkan

Man, I never know what to do for these weeks. I always just end up overwhelming myself with a bunch of ideas, freezing myself with indecision, and then the whole thing passes. Well, not today! I had one(1) vision for what I wanted, and I took it. Even if it meant only posting for the last day.

I've always wished Mikan has more power in their relationship in canon, even if the reason she didn't is pretty self-evident, so here, take this self-indulgent au in which Junko is, in fact, NOT crushed by her execution, but survives via a trapdoor- only to land on her beloved's operating table and be cut to pieces and distributed amongst her and her friends. Immortalized with anaesthetic and formaldehyde, she is alive and ever Despairing, unable to taste the release of death, and with her beloved forever~

Also ignore how sketchy it is I'm a busy man alright-

Pokemon AU! For the free day

@the-100-days-of-junkan

[the-100-days-of-junkan]

"So you just smash a bunch of stuff to build??"

"W-Well, it's a b-bit more complicated than that, but- but sorta?"

Eh-? When was it suddenly day 7-? Well anyhow, I used the freebie au to make a Dragon Quest Builders 2 AU with Junko as Malroth and Mikan as the Builder! I love this game so much, and am more than happy to inject it into Junkan lol- But also, this week has been so fun!!! It's actually my first proper art event I've ever participated in!!! And I cannot wait to do more!!!!!! And for the road, a little doodle where I'm pulling the dialogue from!!

@the-100-days-of-junkan

[the-100-days-of-junkan]

And that's a Wrap!

Kind of, of course!

The final day of Junkan Week has finally hit and I couldn't be more happy with the results! I'm so honored (and just generally elated) that we had as much participation as we did considering how niche this interest feels at times, thank you all so much! Worry not however, if there are any of ya'll who couldn't make something in time for the event, I still plan to reblog any participation no matter how late. So if you just needed that extra bit of prep, feel a sudden urge to join in after the fact, or some other third reason, just make sure to check the prompt list and follow the rules here.

And of course if you haven't posted your Day 7 Prompts before this post was made worry not, I'm only posting it early so I don't forget, as I am one to do daslfghsldjfgs.

COMING UP . . .

Beyond reblogging anyone who decides to join in after the fact, this accounts probably going to be pretty dry going forward, as I still don't really have any ideas how to keep this account super active beyond restructuring it and turning it into a proper archive account for Junkan in general, but that's a lot more work than I have time for right now, so if I go through with that that's either a late this year or an early next year kind of thing.

But rest assured because there's one thing I can guarantee as of now!

The Month of Junkan is upon us! And by upon us I mean around 9 months away! But that's technically still upon!

If one week wasn't enough to show off how much you love this ship, then surely a month will! Participation across all 30 days is not necessary of course, join in with as much or as little art as you deem possible for you!

I plan to have the Prompt List out as soon as possible, before the end of February bare minimum, so look out for it if you wanna prep as far in advance as possible!~

Junkan Week 2025 - Day 7 - Free Day

Something simple! I'd like to have ended with more of a big bang for the event, but I think given I'm still participating in Femslash February, I can afford some simplicity in places!~ It's been a blast!

Junkan Week 2025 - Day 7 - Coffeeshop AU

Lookie here! We got a Fanfic Adaptation for the first time in awhile! What fic? One that you can't read! Cause this is based on a Coffeeshop AU my friend made inspired by the coffeshop au i did for Syomaru awhile back, he made like two short fics off of it, put them in my DMs, and then never posted them anywhere because I don't think he posts anything anywhere. Here is me getting permission to do this btw

Anyway I would have done art of my own Coffeeshop AU which does have Junkan, however that one has nothing to do with Coffee nor a Shop for Coffee, his did. Also doubles as a Band AU if Junko's appearance is anything to go off of. I will now post the description of Junko's design for the hell of it.

Now realizing I didn't draw her leaning on the table GOD DAMMIT

Anyway I'll try and convince him to lock in and make an AO3 at some point so people can actually like, read his fics. Cause he's actually done a substantial amount of Junkan and even some other ships. Will it be to your taste? No clue, but more Junkan in the world is a net positive in my opinion.

Oh uh, art wise I had a lot of fun designing Junko if it wasn't obvious. I've made it so that her hair will be unbearable to draw in the future, but I've made worse choices artistically sooooo, myeh

Junkan Week 2025 - Day 7 - Hope

And now the hope side! Despair was evil girlfriends, Hope is soft girlfriends :)

I originally wanted this to match more with like chains unlocking around Junko with Mikan holding the key. However, I uh, didn't. Couldn't tell you why? Felt too forced maybe? No real clue i'll be real ldfjsadhflsdj.

Junkan Week 2025 - Day 7 - Despair

The final day! Admittedly for these two prompts I didn't have a grand meaningful idea this time around, I was going purely visual for them.

For despair I decided to reference a scrapped idea from Day 60 of my 100 Days of Junkan Project! During the adaptation we got this panel.

Originally instead of vague, spectral tendrils representing Junko being wrapped in despair. However originally it was supposed to be chains, unlocked by Mikan! I scrapped the idea not for any reason of I thought it would look better, just genuinely did not want to draw chains adsfljsdghfljsd. So I brought the idea back here, albeit now with Junko and Mikan chained to each other! Which I think is kind of, maybe, a cool visual metaphor for their relationship in the Evil Girlfriend-centric context of the ship?

Also I think this is the first time in awhile I've drawn Junkan with the darker vibe of the main canon. Albeit I'm still not going too far in that direction with this, but hey I guess consider this the single dose of Toxic Yuri for the event? Kind of? listen you gotta have low standards with me I'm a fluff girl and have no idea what I'm doing here slfjhadlsjhfsljd.

@the-100-days-of-junkan

[the-100-days-of-junkan]

Junkan Week - Day 7 - Free Day (AU) Hey look it's the Roleswap AU!

So like, i probably touched on this in the initial post of these two but that I've come to realize is that by swapping Junko and Mikan's roles in their respective stories is that the results are.

Junko becoming a, somehow, even more miserable version of Mikan who's likely gone under even more severe trauma. Her backstory is vague in canon but we can generally make the assumption that it wasn't pretty, but now she doesn't have despair to get her through that.

And Mikan in turn becoming a significantly more aggressive version Junko. Mikan in canon having a lot of repressed emotions that she basically never lets out of her, but now she has despair and no inhibitions, sooooo- Which like, probably not the best for either them or the rest of the world. But hey if we take this in a softer, non-despair au, because of course I'm going to do that, the au needs an au. You'd also get Mikan being an even more caring version of Junko, albeit probably also a lot more "intense" as a result.

I've always liked the idea of Junko having active anger towards the people who've mistreated Mikan. So I tried to depict the farthest extreme of this version of Mikan expressing intense fury and sadness over her beloved's pain.

That's about it adlfsjdfhsd

@the-100-days-of-junkan

[the-100-days-of-junkan]

you say you've changed (well so has she):

“Why did you leave me, Junko?” She doesn't even look like herself. She looks—soft. Pink lips, instead of red. Sweaters where leather should be. Red, pink—those were typical, but not their construction; it made her look like a stranger. She is staring, with wide eyes, something haunted. “Mikan-senpai.” Her voice doesn't even sound the same. There is a stranger where Mikan's lover should be. She is wearing her face; but she is doing it wrong. She is saying her name; but she is saying it wrong. She is looking at her with pleading eyes; but she is looking wrong. “Didn't you say you forgave me?” [Junkan Week Side:Hope, Day Seven: Hope.]

+

falling:

“Don't you want to fall with me?” [Junkan Week Side:Despair, Day Seven: Despair.]

The last day of Junkan week is finally upon us! I really like what I wrote for the hope prompt, actually. It's based on my old rp blog @junkhope , which... is super old so I don't recommend checking out, but yeah. The despair prompt is shorter than I'd like, but... it did turn out okay, I think.

I had super fun participating in the event this year!!! Thank you so much for hosting it.

@the-100-days-of-junkan

[the-100-days-of-junkan]

They say in your last moments, you see the one you loved most...

So day 6 with comfort- it's a bit of stretch but I think it works. Yeah no digital art today, sorry- literally can not bring myself to gather the energy to do it cause...this was last minute- I had an original plan to do panic, but ended up not liking it enough and left it to the last minute- Digital art for last day though, promise!!! I've got something fun planned!!!

And here's the original piece I was going to do for today, for anyone curious- they're hiding from Hatsune Miku in Fortnite- this spawned from me mumble singing Chug Jug With You at like midnight one night-

They swaped talents for a day

@the-100-days-of-junkan

[the-100-days-of-junkan]

Junkan Week 2025 - Day 6 - Swap AU

So remember when I did a Talent Swap that I said I wasn't super energized for after the fact? Well I did it again and took it a step further by making it a full Role Swap.

Making Junko the miserable girl in need of any kindness, and Mikan the arbiter of despair. Mukuro is also there and is still Junko's sister.

I don't exactly have a full story in my head at the moment, and I'm not sure if I'd really want to write a full story since i'm not sure I have the chops to pull off what I think this entails beyond some art pieces. But who knows! For Junko's redesign and general vibe, I decided to make her a Field Nurse instead of just a Nurse like Mikan. The reason being I envisioned that she'd probably be a lot more active next to Mukuro without her Analysis talent. And if it wasn't obvious, she fully inherits Mikan's generally miserable vibe alongside her normal backstory. I still imagine that there was a point where Junko and Mukuro were separated, and the time spent apart is when most of Junko's misfortune was placed.

As for Mikan I really don't have anything specific in mind for her backstory right now. She is at the moment just generally is Junko's personality and mannerisms imposed on Mikan, albeit significantly more aggressive by comparison, like taking all the repressed Mikan has and letting it be significantly more opened up. I also like to imagine that this would translate to her being fiercely protective of Junko once they're together. But of course that's my soft preferences talking I think.

And I know this is a Junkan post but my general idea for Mukuro is that she's equally protective of Junko, both out of general care but because she's guilty as shit over whatever happened to Junko while separated. And her dynamic with Mikan would be one of initial hesitance followed by loyalty for being a source of actual happiness for Junko.

Oh also, fun story. After I finished the designs my girlfriend pointed out that Mikan's design is extremely similar to Beroba from Kamen Rider Geats.

This was completely unintentional but I find it very funny because I have lovingly been calling Beroba "Diet Junko" for awhile now. The reason of which I won't go into right now because that'd derail the post hard. Btw watch Kamen Rider Geats it's cool and I imagine most of ya'll would like Beroba on some level.

Junkan Week 2025 - Day 6 - Comfort

Once again I have no idea what's going on! Kind of! I did have an idea, but also not really? Let me explain.

Okay, so i've gone through like, multiple ideas for this prompt given it's one that has a lot of broad applications.

The initial idea was Junko comforting a stressed Mikan, which of course would have worked just fine. However, that requires I portray this ship within the normal and expected dynamic implied by the pairing. And if you've been staring, horrified as I rapidly drew this ship with the intention of making more Junkan than anyone reasonably should, you may have learned by now that I am for some reason allergic to drawing these two with a dynamic that would be considered normal for their personalities. So of course Mikan being the one comforted here was off the table (Someday though).

So then Junko would be the target of comforting in this instance. And originally she was going to be having a full breakdown, cause I haven't drawn Junko crying in awhile.

Then I forgot about that and was going to go for Junko more just being like, depressed and lifeless with Mikan holding her close to ground her.

This then got dialed back to Junko with a headache and Mikan easing the pain. Then we doubled back to Junko being depressed.

And then I started sketching and accidentally made this instead. And if you're wondering why Junko is in that cozy white dress? No idea!!

I don't know what the fuck you would describe my artistic process as but I feel like it can be classified as a bludgeon.

[the-100-days-of-junkan]

Junkan Week 2025 - Day 6 - Panic

Mikan wanted to play a Horror Game that Chiaki recommended her, Junko was more than happy to help her through it.

I originally wanted to do something a bit more serious for this one, however, I couldn't really think of anything? So I opted for a sillier option.

Also tried to do a double application of the prompt. Mikan's panicking because spooky videogame, meanwhile the panic Junko's feeling is the gay variety :)
