I am a huge fan of any sort of reference to Iceman’s familiar history/relationships (or lack thereof), so long as there’s a little bit of angst ;) but I want to know what your favorite reason for tension between Iceman and his dad is because I know some people have preferences. Also, I def missed things so let me know your fave in the comment.
Note: I elected to use the term officer to broadly represent his father’s position in the military without giving him a specific rank in order to streamline the poll, so all you Admiral Father fans (myself included) I promise I didn’t ignore you.
Obviously it is possible for it to be a combination and I wish there was the ability to select multiple but unfortunately there’s not. So choose your favorite to start from and then comment below what your favorite combo/specific backstory is :)

So I recently decided to restart Phantom Hourglass once again and I think the one thing they always surprises me a bit every time I play is just… how kind of really terrible Ciela is to Linebeck throughout the whole game.
Like sure, he’s a dick who needs to be knocked down a few pegs and all of that at the start but… she’a very consistently dismissive and rude and usually the one to spark arguments with him.
It’s been a bit since I last played through all the way so my memory’s a bit fuzzy, but she really is very consistently harsh towards him, even while others may change their opinion, like Oshus. Ciela never really seems to give him a chance or the benefit of the doubt, at least not to his face, and even when he really starts getting into his character development and genuinely trying to be nicer and braver and better she still continues to all but bully him up until the end.
Again, it’s been a bit, so I might not be totally accurate, but there are two bits that have always stuck in my mind as just… testaments to the fact that yeah, she’s kind of really terrible to him at times.
The first being when Link finds Linebeck near the Temple of the Ocean King after he gets the Phantom Sword. Linebeck is effectively almost done with his arc at that point, and really genuinely opens up to Link about how he’s felt about the quest and how he feels and… you can tell in this scene that he’s being genuine in trying to express his honest feelings and come to terms with them and let Link know in some roundabout way how much their time together has meant, but once it’s all said and done Ciela latches onto his telling Link not to die and uses it almost as an excuse to make fun of him again, disregarding everything he said in favor of essentially telling him ‘Link’s going to be fine, shut up and fuck off,’ and even when he goes to leave and asks her very genuinely to take care of Link and calls her by name, she just sounds surprised about him calling her by name and moves on.
Ciela never really acknowledges that Linebeck changes- not until the very end, and when she actually does, it’s always in a sarcastic or joking sort of tone until that end. She ignores any sign of him being kinder or less egotistical and just acts like he’s the same jackass that she and Link met at the beginning of the game. Not to mention, I can’t imagine how painful it must be to finally gather up the courage and honestly express your feelings like that only to get ignored and mocked for one throwaway comment! All things considered, that’s a shitty move!
The other thing is less about anything she says, but more about implying how Linebeck feels about her. One of the last things he says to her after Bellum is defeated is ‘You’ve always got to get the last word, don’t you?’
I don’t know. That line itself, paired with being right after she doesn’t entirely take seriously his wish to have his ship returned to him… I feel like it just… sums up how Linebeck probably feels about her.
Honestly, with just those two examples alone, I could go on for a lot more about how kind of terrible she was, but this is long enough as is.
I do like Ciela and I think she’s great, but when it comes to how she treats Linebeck… there’s a lot there.

bachelors and their weird kinks/turn ons perhaps 👀
A/N: it took a LOT for me to find weird things that arent gross(literally shit or dead people sorry if you’re into these) and even then I don’t even think these are weird but there’s only so many sites that I can go on to find weird kinks or even kinks in general. Fun fact there’s a kink for watching people fall down the stairs!! Keep in mind I’m talking about these fetishes and kinks from my own memory from looking them up lmao.
Tw:nsfw like all of it, cursing etc let me know if I should tag anything else!!
Bc: at least 4 for each? One for what the kink is and one for the explanation?
Stardew Valley Masterlist
Sebastian
Dacryphilia the kink or fetish for watching or causing someone to cry(positive or negative). A kink for tears if you will
I don’t know if I’ve talked about this before (I might’ve?) but dude has a major crying kink. Like he needs to make you cry while having sex. In this instance it’s a good crying. Like from how good his dick feels inside you. How good it feels when he moves, when he touches you. It’s like overstimulation but the crying is the main thing he wants.
Somnophilia the kink or fetish for having sex with someone while they’re asleep.
AGAIN this is all consensual but he likes the way you look when you’re asleep. You’re fully content and relaxed, no troubles or worries. He just wants to make you feel even better to send you to a new level of paradise. And the way that you are free in your reactions instead of holding everything back. All of your sounds and the way you move…it just gets him off in a different way.
Sam
Katoptronophilia the kink or fetish for watching yourself or others have sex in a mirror
I think this kink more so has to do with his partner. I do think he would get off with watching you or him fucking you in a mirror. Like you both can see your own faces and it’s just hot how you can see how good he’s making you feel and the other way around. It’s like his recordings kink but in real time.
Claustrophilia the kink or fetish for tight spaces literally the opposite of claustrophobia
I think he would like the whole stuck in a small closet together thing or the whole (if you’ve seen kdramas bc this is the only time I’ve seen it) hiding from someone in a tight space and being forced to be close or touching.
Shane
Shibari the fetish or kink of Japanese bondage. It’s more artistic than regular bondage and can sometimes be nonsexual(meaning it can just be for the act of being tied/tying someone up)
I do think Shane might have a artistic side to him, he loves his blue chickens and even though he hasn’t particularly shown that he likes art I think he’d appreciate this form. Like yeah it has bdsm tones and he likes that, but he likes the time taken to tie you up, the time it takes to make the ropes look pretty on you. It gets the both of you riled up so the sex might be more passionate.
Electrostimulation the fetish or kink to being stimulated or stimulating someone with electricity
Oh dude is definitely a sadomasochist. He wants to shock you, he wants to be shocked (partially because he wants to feel something other than mental and emotional pain). It’s never so much that it hurts too much but it’s a little stinging sensation that he can’t get enough of.
Harvey
Quirofilia the kink or fetish for hands, but well taken care of/pretty hands
Oh I think Harvey HAS to take of his hands. As a doctor I think he would be happy if someone complemented how soft his hands were or how clean they looked. And on the other hand(heheheh) he would appreciate how nice your hands look, how soft they feel, how good they feel when touching him.
Breeding/Pregnancy the kink or fetish for pregnant people or getting someone pregnant. It has nothing to do with the child itself but the person carrying the child.
NGL I think once you two come to an agreement about pregnancy(in this case you agree to start trying for kids) Harvey is absolutely going to go batshit insane with this new development. Before he would’ve never said that this is something he’s into but once you two agree he’s so pumped up and actually starts talking dirty if he didn’t before. It’s crazy how different he is during this time.
Alex
Anasteemaphilia the kink or fetish for extreme size differences so either a giant or a dwarf(I hope this word isn’t offensive it’s what the website used)
Dude would NEVER reveal this but actually would love a giant girlfriend. I think because of the lowkey misogynistic views he has he would like a bigger woman and a smaller man. He would LOVE lady dimitrescu from resident evil. Like bffr.
Food Play the kink or fetish of involving food during intercourse so either eating it off each other or involving it in some way
Oh absolutely would love to eat food off of you and would want you to lick stuff off of him. Like whipped cream and chocolate syrup are MUSTS if you’re having a particularly long night. He thinks it’s so erotic to eat and consume stuff off of each other that don’t really have anything to do with sex.
Elliott
Psellismophilia the kink or fetish for stuttering
One of the weird ones I found. I think he would think it’s cute and if you do have a stutter or happen to stutter when you’re nervous he’s going to have such a confidence booster because of it. Like YES keep stumbling over your words and stuttering it actually is cute to him and he feels like he’s in a book or a movie or something.
Podophilia the kink or fetish for feet
I think this one is obvious? I think he’d prefer beautiful people and that includes feet. In a lot of erotic movies and books and even in romance books feet have some sort of importance to them. Whether it’s used to dominate someone or to pleasure someone he likes beautiful feet. He wants you to step on him(not in a rough way) and tbh I could see him wanting to recreate the scene in that one tarentino(is this his name) movie where he casts himself in the role that drinks I think alcohol from that woman’s food after it runs down her leg.

If I Should Stay
Ngl, I kinda forgot I was trying to do this in alternating POVs. That… kinda failed for a minute. Oops. But here’s Robin! And Wayne!
Part 1 | . . . | Part 35 | Part 36 | Part 37
“How could I have him and lose him in the same moment?” Steve asks, and he sounds so sad that Robin wants to wrap him in a hug and about four fuzzy blankets and give him hot cocoa and kill whoever made him sad. Except, she thinks, that would be Eddie, which would really just make Steve even more sad-
She stops her train of thought.
“Want me to go yell at him again? It worked the first time,” she says, just a hint of a grin in her voice, and it works because Steve sounds further from tears next time he speaks.
They joke a little more, until she feels comfortable leaving him, and when he drops her off at home she barely drops her things inside before bolting to grab her bike.
She pedals hard all the way to Forest Hills. She’s about to dump her bike before she sees Wayne on the front porch, smoking, so she carefully lays it down instead.
“Afternoon,” he says.
“Hi, Mr. Wayne,” she replies politely. “Is Eddie home?”
He tells her no, that he’s gone to apologize to Steve, and invites her in for tea and a talk. She thinks for a second before mentally shrugging and accepting.
He holds the door open for her and begins talking as he grabs a mug. She’s delighted to see that the inside reads, You’ve been poisoned! and says as much.
Wayne grins. “‘S become a habit of mine, collecting these mugs. My momma always said there ain’t much a cup of tea can’t fix, and I’ve found she’s right. Plus, havin’ a fun mug lifts your spirits.”
Robin chuckles. “That it does.”
“Now,” Wayne says, turning to face her. “I’m guessin’ you’re here to kick my nephew’s ass again.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Sir.” Wayne makes a face. “I’ve got a good name that none o’you younguns ever uses. Call me Wayne.”
Robin giggles. “Will do, Wayne.”
Wayne nods. “Good. Now, ‘bout Eddie. You let me say my piece, and I’ll let you decide whether or not he deserves another kick in the ass. Fair?”
“Fair,” Robin agrees.
“Alright then. My Eddie’s not a bad kid, though I’m guessing you know that.” He pauses to take a sip of his tea. “Sometimes he does things without thinking them through, just like everyone. Sometimes people scare him.” Her hackles raise, and Wayne raises placating hands. “I’m not saying any of this is your Steve’s fault. All I’m sayin’ is, people do stupid things when they’ve been hurt in the past.”
Robin cocks her head. “Eddie was hurt?”
Wayne hums around another sip. “The details ain’t mine to give, but yes. He was. Just about a year ago now. I almost had a stupid reaction to what he told me.”
“What stopped you?”
Wayne shrugs. “Experience, partially. But you helped too.”
Her eyes widen. “Me?”
“Yup. See, Eddie’s real observant. So when he came t’me a few months ago, talkin’ ‘bout how he thought you were the same as him, I had an idea of the kinda person you are. No tolerance for idiots, at least those who aren’t your friends. Loyal to those who are. And I thought, now why would she stick around him if he’s that kinda person? And I came to the conclusion that he’s not. Or he’s not intentionally. So. Pair that with the way Eddie’d been acting, and I had a pretty good idea of what was goin’ on.”
Robin nods. “Y’know what Steve said to him?”
Wayne hums. “Somethin’ bout how he’d never been with another guy?”
Robin nods again. “Exactly. And to have Eddie react like that…”
Wayne sighs and tips his head back until he’s looking at the ceiling. “Lord knows I love that boy,” he murmurs. “But he sure does know how to get himself into trouble.”
Robin grins. “And how to get himself out of trouble?”
Wayne snorts and looks at her. “Outta the frying pan, into the fire, more like.”
Robin giggles. “Yeah, I kinda got that impression.”
Just then the phone rings, and Wayne raises a brow at it, then sighs and stands to answer it, waving Robin down when she starts to stand as well,
“Munson residence, y’got Wayne.” He hums. “Wayne’s just fine, son, none‘a that Mr. Munson crap. She is, I’ll hand it over in just a second. My nephew apologize to you yet?” A grunt. “Good. Here she is.” He waves her over, and she hurriedly swallows a sip of tea before hopping over to the phone. “Steve?”
“Hey. The little shit found Dart.”
Robin breathes out a laugh. “Jesus. D’we gotta kill it and live with his sad face now?”
“That’s the thing, though, is it did help. He fuckin’ domesticated the thing.”
“Okay, so which one of us is gonna tell him?” She asks, in a tone that means it’s gonna be Steve.
He laughs, “well I’m not gonna tell him.”
“The fuck you’re not,” she argues, “you’re his second mom, dingus, it sure as shit ain’t gonna be me.”
He squawks, “I am not his-”
She hangs up on him with a satisfying click and a smug grin.

Oh em gee
The Hyunjin video where you can see his ‘happy trail’ (ngl I have a hard time taking that term seriously) as soon as I saw it I immediately started to feel horny. Idk with body hair cuz I’m not super partial to leg or arm hair in particular (not bothered by them either) but for whatever reason, natural underarm and pubic hair on guys I just think is really sexy??????? Is that weird?
There’s this hi-def pic of Felix like that where his shirt comes up from a few years ago that was taken during a performance I think and you can see a really visible dark line of hair going up to his belly button, and I’ve been hoping to see that pic again ever since. It may have been black and white.
Anyway… the thirst is real…
Tall girl anon
lmao it is kinda a funny term im not sure why it’s called that 😭 but it’s not weird at all to find certain types body hair hot you’re definitely not alone! some ppl find smooth underarms really attractive but others strongly prefer them unshaved/unwaxed…and this is kinda different but ive seen some ppl also go crazy when jisung’s stubble shows <33 maybe it has smth to do w liking the natural state of the body or the “masculinity” associated w it
is this the lix pic youre talking abt by any chance? 😽

More outsiders asks? Heck yeah!
5. What are your favourite ships?
a) Curly Shepard x Ponyboy Curtis- idk why other than the fact that fanon Curly seems to balance out Ponyboy perfectly, and that I read a Curly fit on ffn when I was like fifteen that fundamentally changed my brain chemistry
b) Steve Randle x Sodapop Curtis- I don’t like any other within gang ship but Soda and Steve make sense to me and ngl my closeted ass clocked them as gay when I was reading the book because of the ‘pillow fight’ scene. I genuinely answered a comprehension question in class like ‘Ponyboy’s naïveté is shown through the fact he believes soda never drinks and that Soda and Steve were having a pillow fight when they slept together’ and my teacher had to be like oh sweetie no….
c) Marcia x Two-bit Matthews- Not a HUGE fan but they had such chemistry and I wish that could’ve been explored. I’m actually working on a fit about them rn, just because I wanna explore Marcia’s psyche. She was fun :)
14. Five headcanons I basically see as canon
a) Steve is secretly SUPER protective of Ponyboy, partially because he knows Sodapop would never be ok if something ever happened to Pony and he couldn’t stand it if Soda’s spark ever went out, but also because he wants Ponyboy to have the happy childhood he never had.
b) Darry absolutely dotes on Ponyboy, even though he’s strict, he’s lenient about letting Pony go places and works overtime to make sure he can afford to get Ponyboy everything he needs (and some stuff he simply wants), especially after Windrixville.
c) Johnny Cade is scary looking. Full stop. The gang just doesn’t see him that way so it doesn’t show in Ponyboy’s narration
d) Dallas Winston had a good mom and a happy childhood and her death was the catalyst that made him into the hoodlum he was.
e) Sodapop Curtis absolutely drinks, Ponyboy just doesn’t believe he does and Soda is not anxious to correct him because he doesn’t want Ponyboy to see him differently
15. Five headcanons that are entirely self-indulgent
a) Angela Shepard and Curly Shepard have to share a room because Tim refuses to share with anyone. Neither of them actually hates it half as much as they pretend they do.
b) Part of why Curly and Ponyboy became close was because Ponyboy was struggling with getting over his concussion, and the side effects were really stressful for him (dizzy spells, blurry vision, absentmindedness) and Curly kinda helped him with it because Curly spent 90% of his childhood concussed so he knew what Pony was going through
c) Tim Shepard and Sylvia are best friends and would kill for each other but not die for each other. However, they would avenge each other’s deaths.
d) Steve Randle wishes more than anything in the world that Darry Curtis was actually his irl older brother 
e) Two-bit’s little sister HATES Ponyboy Curtis because her older brother spends more time playing older brother to him than he spends actually being an older brother to her.
17. Are there any criticisms or salt you have with the book?
My criticisms with the book lie with the author. SE Hinton has proven to be homophobic and racist, and its written into the book, which is my biggest issue. I love the story of The Outsiders but do not want to support Hinton or her harmful, bigoted ideology under any circumstances. (For anyone out there who wants a copy of the book but doesn’t want to support Hinton, you can find a free pdf online, all you gotta do is google it)
On a slightly lighter note, I would have loved to have seen more of the female characters in the book. Marcia in particular had so much potential, and I wish we’d seen one actual scene with Sandy or Sylvia.
Thanks for the ask!!!!!

hey can u make a scenario where s/o is a simp for gojo like she says the most craziest shit like "ngl gojo is like water I can't live without him~~" and she says that infront of everyone and he literally doesn't even care like it normal at this point and everyone is just looking at him like he's crazy😭 (fluff and nsfw please!)
You've got it 🫡 it helps I am a simp for Satoru myself
Content: fluff, Satoru and S/O are equally whipped for each other, slightly NSFW, plus sized reader (I actually switch it up like every other fic if you actually take time to read my masterlist. This is both a dig at someone and me letting everyone else know what to expect), Satoru x reader, fem reader
Word count: 616
Tumblr media
“Listen, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again,” you said and the sound of a few of your coworkers groans filled the room, “I need Satoru like I need the oxygen in my lungs.”
“Awwwww, always so sweet about me Princess,” he cooed from his desk without looking up from the stack of paperwork.
“Would you two please fucking get a room?” Akira groaned out.
“We have one. And it definitely is a fucking room,” you said as you stick your tongue out at her. You watched her face turn bright red at your comment.
“I’d high five you for that one but I’m across the room so, air five,” Satoru called out as he held up his hand. You held up yours and mimed giving him a high five.
You returned to your own paperwork for a few minutes before you let your eyes wander back to where they truly wanted to be. Resting on Satoru’s figure. His shoulders were hunched over his desk and he scribbled at the papers underneath his hands.
“I can literally see you staring at me,” he cooed out from his desk. His eyes might be covered but you had cursed energy which means he could still see you.
“Not my fault you’re walking sex incarnate,” you cooed back at him. Your coworkers all groaned much louder around you. This made you giggle and your eyes quickly flitted to each of them to see their expressions. You might not have six eyes like Satoru but you did have a vision curse. One that allows you to see everything around you from a fraction of a second of a glance into a room or at a person.
You tried once again to focus on your paperwork. You didn’t have much left and you knew once you two were done you’d get what you really wanted. All of Satoru’s undivided attention on you. You doubled down your efforts on making yourself focus on your work. Despite your best efforts your brain kept drifting off to Satoru. You rubbed your thick thighs together hoping a little bit of friction would help. You were wrong.
“Alright, well I’m all done over here,” Satoru called from his desk.
“I still have a few things left to do, my sexy sorcerer,” you responded. He chuckled as Akira and Masamichi, the only two left in here with you and Gojo, groaned again. You knew they were only partially bothered by your open simping for Gojo. Akira had mentioned to you at one point it was actually really nice to see someone who loved Satoru as much as you did.
After a few more minutes of intense focus, you pushed back from your desk. You stretched out your arms and subsequently your whole back. Satoru might have bought you a really nice desk chair recently but it didn’t help when you had shit posture. Your hands land on your thick thighs and you giggled as you watched the fat jiggle for a while. You used to hate how pudgy you were but Saturo had made you more comfortable when he worshipped you as much as you did him.
“All done?” he crooned in your ear and his arms came to rest on your tummy fat. You smiled as he nuzzled into your neck.
“All done,” you confirmed.
Tumblr media
“Good then let’s go home so I can repay all your worship from earlier,” he said as he kissed your neck. His hands grabbed at your tummy more. You used to hate it when he grabbed at your fat like this but now you love it. The way his fingers touched every inch of you with love and adoration.
Please do not reupload this anywhere. If anyone ever sees my original work uploaded anywhere please let me know. I only post here for now. One day I might actually move things over to my Ko-fi

Good morning! I woke to lovely piece of yours with a Yan!Mayor & Yan!LBD with a fem reader. It was a wonderful piece that didn't stretch too long but left me feeling very happy due to the lack of Mayor/LBDxReader content there is here & anywhere from what I can see. If it's not too much trouble, may I please request a reader who can actually fight back against the Yan!duo?
Maybe she gained immortality because the women of her family had witnessed the Mayor's & LBD's powers generations ago, thus building the subsequent generations after the first witness (maybe someone who also caught the two's attention but managed to escape thanks to SWK, his "you should have stayed buried" line has cemented into my head) saw what they were capable of & feared their return. Generational training & horror stories ensue. The day of the ritual arrives & Mayor comes to collect Y/N but is shocked to see her resilience against Lady's call & chains. Maybe she [Y/N] uses the chains against him & he ends up bound instead? Same with LBD (not Bai He possessed tho, pls). I really think they'd be shocked & intrigued about reader's strength & ingrained tactical knowledge added to resistance to both of them... Might be very interesting~.😈
Bonus points if Y/N says something like "I see why you use chains, Chief; you look so darling all wrapped up~!" or "That is a lovely song you sing, but I am not one for such melodies, Baigujing." [<-LBD's real name] Imagine the reactions!
Sorry for the long read, I'm just so curious to see your spin on this if you wish to write it. Thank you for reading!
Tumblr media
P.S. Did you notice that Baigujing & Bai He have the same three-letter-start, 'Bai'???
I can absolutely do that! I’m ngl this is the longest req I’ve had before! (Not trying to be mean :])
I may or may not have taken a bit of inspiration from Naruto with this one, specifically with a “sharingan” kind of ability :3
—this is relatively short bc I didn’t know what much to do auaughhhh—
PS, the amount of times I’ve had to rewrite this bc I wanted it to be PERFECT…
Tumblr media
(WARNINGS; SACRIFICIAL RITUAL, KIDNAPPING, IDK WHAT ELSE TO PUT BUT YEAH YOU GET IT)
Being part of a family that had gained immortality and power was not always the easiest.
All your ancestors were always present, if they hadn’t been killed.
Your family had gained partial immortality; meaning they would not die of age. But if they were, perchance, given a life threatening wound, they wouldn’t survive.
But that just made your family more careful of how they used their immortality. Every day in your extravagant home you would witness the generations before you, still walking, talking.
It would be eerie to most. But to you, it was normal.
Another good thing that came from your family with immortality, is that among the generations power grew, you being the recent generations, it was strongest for you. It wasn’t very well combat-wise; but it allowed you the ability to deflect an attack and mirror it just as it was performed.
Your family never explained how they harnessed this. But listening in as a child to your ancestors at the alter briefly mentioned a name; Baigujing.
Your family soon brought you with all cheers to the alter, they had dolled you up with traditional robes of white, holding incense sticks and sage.
It dawned on you.
Your family made a deal for immortality. A sacrificial deal. You didn’t know what to feel. You couldn’t feel anything. You were kept in the dark for so long and for what, to be sent like a lamb to the slaughter.
You had no choice but to let it happen.
How else would your family progress.
A cool most wafted around you, a feeling of floating. It was like you were weightless. When you opened your eyes, you were standing, met with two people, a man. He wore a shockingly wide grin.
“My lady will be pleased with this sacrifice. How pleasing you are.” He hummed in an unstable voice.
Chains shot from under your feet, making you reel back briefly, before honing your ability to deflect and conquer the chains, sending them the man’s way; watching as they coiled around him like snakes and held him still in front of you.
The chains were strong, stronger than any you’ve seen; they emitted a soft, ghostly glow. Joining your hands under your sleeves, you kept a blank stare. “I see why you use chains, Chief;” you muttered, watching him stiffen. “You look quite lovely being held by them.” He could hear the coo in your voice, it made him wonder how this was a possibility.
But he didn’t have the time for that, unfortunately,
As the Lady Bone Demon seemed to materialize just behind him. “And what seems to be the problem,” there was a slight sneer in her voice before she laid her eyes on you. “Ah, our sacrifice. What a beautiful one, a shame.” She’d spoke calmly, releasing the Mayor from his own chains you deflected onto him.
“Come now dear, there is no use in resisting. You were chosen to be killed in return for their immortality.” The Lady Bone Demon hummed, walking circles around you, as if she were gliding.
She tried to latch onto you with a chain of her own, letting out a shocked gasp when the chain came back her way and clamped around her wrist. “What a lovely song you sing. I’m not one for such Melodie’s, Baigujing.” There was an eerie silence.
“I see you have done your research on the two of us; but still hadn’t known your family would sacrifice you to my will.” She spoke calmly, releasing the chain from herself once more.
“My dear, how do you deflect my chains so simply,” Baigujing said with a hiss, walking towards you; that’s when you realized how tall she truly was.
“It’s something I was taught..” you would simply respond back to her. She did not seem to buy it, however. But accepted that nonetheless.
“We are taking her back with us. We will hold the family’s end of the ritual; but we are keeping her.” There was a semi-shocked “What?!” From the Mayor, before he cleared his throat and corrected himself when the Lady Bone Demon shot a pointed glare his way, it shut him up very quickly.
“Come now, my dear. Or shall we have to take you by force.” YIU could only respond with a glare. This made the Lady Bone Demon turn her nose up with a huff, before she grabbed your face and tucked you close to her body, so you would not be able to get away. “Come now, let’s start anew.”
You reeled back your elbow hit her in the rib, making her groan in disdain. The Mayor immediately leapt into action. No, literally. He leapt on top of you and held you down. Sliding his hands up your neck and into your hair, he roughly yanked it back, which earned a strained groan from you.
“That was a horrible mistake, dear. For that we will have to discipline you. Since you wish to do this the hard way, we will treat you as you’ve chosen.” Her words were eerie,
And for as long as you would fight back, the more they would break you down.

Welp, the ref lineup still isn’t done cause I haven’t drawn Shion yet, and the belated valentines I’ve been working on are gonna be like at least a month late cause I just planned three more, but what I did do these past couple weeks is start writing a fanfic and then immediately abandon it to go draw a bunch of only tangentially-related suzutsubas (except for that first pic; that’s a scene from it, albeit one I haven’t written yet), only half of which are fit for public posting (one of ‘em I could make a few edits and feel ok about posting sometime; it’s not that out there, it’s just, y’know. Hamal Cine Bad End Hyperbolic Torture Chamber. I’m usually very “whatever happens happens” about my art but if I don’t show some restraint I know I’ll end up stuck in there forever), but hey, since I’ve been teasing them for ages and finally have some finished stuff with them, take a couple Suzumii! Also gonna ramble abt headcanons under the cut (and it will be LONG)
To begin, a note abt my Len’en gender/pronoun headcanons: as a they/them preferrer myself, I’m thrilled that most people just stick with those for everyone, but I’ve developed some more detailed headcanons as I go through working on designs and I’ll generally be using those. Don’t worry though, most of them are still nonbinary and basically all of them are trans/gq. Relevant ones for this post are Tsubakura: they/them nonbinary (transmasc to some degree) and Suzumi: cis female, question mark?? (to be elaborated on); for clarity’s sake I usually use she/her for Arde and Hamal Cine individually and plural they for the system collectively (also I don’t usually use their nicknames, dunno why), but singular they for Benet (the wiki says Benny is probably short for Benetnasch so I’m assuming that’s their actual name) for reasons which will also be elaborated on (sort of).
Aaalso this clearly isn’t autobiographical or anything but I think I’m subconsciously putting a lot of myself into Suzumi because 1) we do look pretty similar (brown wavy bob + blue eyes) and 2) given their current status as both the main antagonist and the most well-known plural Len’en character (I get the impression that Hooaka also being plural isn’t super common knowledge; I mean it took me several read-throughs of their wiki page and their dialogue with BPoHC Secret Team to get what they were getting at lol) I am probably way too anxious about doing a bad stereotype. Just an observation and also probably partially why I’ve even ended up with so much headcanon for them in the first place
And before I get into the thick of it, notes on derivations from canon: I’m running with the assumption that Suzumi being a system is a relatively recent development tied to whatever incident it was that caused the falling-out, since Tsubakura is like the only person who seems at all familiar with Hamal (including Mitori/Chouki/Fumikado, but they’re more easily explained away as just having met with one of the other alters the few times they’ve interacted) even though she’s supposedly usually the one fronting. They don’t seem to know the mechanics of it though, judging by their confusion when Arde implied that she and Hamal are different people. So basically, I’ll be referring to pre-incident Suzumi as a different character from any of the other three. (Ngl I am very influenced by Dissociation Constant on that and just in general [when will my wife The One and Only Suzutsuba Fic return from the war…..]) I was also debating whether to have Suzumi have any history with the gang before starting to work at the lab/whether stuff would happen around high school or college age, cause they keep referring to everything happening “a long time ago” and I know I, a 24-year-old, feel like stuff that happened five years ago was like yesterday, but I do have the pandemic and not really doing much of anything for most of that time to reckon with so like, eh. College age makes more sense in my head and so does the dynamic of like, Suzumi was only introduced into the friend group (she was acquainted w Hoojiro and Yabu already though bc lab) because she was dating Tsubakura and since that ended, and badly (understatement of the century), they have extremely little reason to be civil with each other and also interacting at all is really awkward.
Ok now on with it! Either end of high school or beginning of college, Suzumi ends up interning at Tsubakura’s lab for college credit (Tsuba’s already practically a department head despite being like 17 or something because. Idk. Who even knows what’s up with them) and she’s like. Only wears t-shirts and jeans (bought a bunch of khakis for this job though), [reading] glasses from the men’s section, hates leaving her hair down (it’s lab safety anyways). Repressed queer in denial, you know the type. Starts interacting a lot with Mx. Tsubakura “wears short shorts that everybody thinks are actually a skirt and also uses ore and omae almost exclusively” Enraku who seems to have everything all figured out and is immediately starstruck (GIRL WHY?? they are such a mess). Lots of “do I want to date them or do I want to be them” confusion (this will be relevant later); eventually evolves into the “am I trans or just a lesbian” question (not that they would need to be attracted to women to be into Tsubakura but you get the picture), which never quite gets answered.
In any case, they do eventually start dating (Tsubakura thinks she’s cute and smart so they reciprocate), and they’re not like super great together cause Tsubakura is emotionally constipated at the best of times (Suzumi’s into that though) and neither of them are the most mentally/emotionally healthy people even back then and also Tsubakura is more or less Suzumi’s boss which is weird, but they’re kind of ok??? Tsubakura’s mom dies at some point, also they move in together (college housing is expensive), the rest of the crew at the very least tolerate Suzumi, etcetera.
And then…! [insert catastrophic event here]!! I don’t have a shot to call on this yet cause I have no idea what it could’ve been (and I’m sure it’ll get revealed at some point anyways); I’m just banking on it being something extremely not mundane and something where you could reasonably set the blame on either (or neither) party cause they sure both seem convinced the other is way worse, huh! In Tsubakura’s case at least, blaming Suzumi is partially a defense mechanism so their self-loathing doesn’t get the better of them over it (guess what the fic was supposed to be about, lol).
The worst part of all this business though is that they DON’T break up over it immediately and it just makes everything orders of magnitude worse for everyone involved. Tsubakura and Arde have hate sex MORE THAN ONCE………… they would both really rather forget about it. Hamal thinks it’s hilarious, ofc, but the less said about her, the better. And Benet… exists??? The only idea that I’m running off of for them atm is the observation that I think they’re the only character with flat black eyes other than Tsubakura/Tsurubami and the subsequent idle thought, “hey if someone malded so hard about a breakup that they ended up with an introject of their ex would that be messed up or what?” So make of that what you will. (Oh and it may have been obvious that this is what I was going for but Hamal is femme and Arde is butch and they’re constantly squabbling abt aesthetic presentation. Having Arde be straight-up male would’ve been too straightforward of an interpretation and I think it’s funnier this way)
The canonically mentioned murder attempts start taking place and I’m leaning towards Tsubakura eventually being convinced to move out even though it was originally their apartment, albeit mostly just because the wikipedia page for house sparrows mentions that they’re known to take over swallows’ nests, usually after they’ve been abandoned, but they will sometimes drive away or kill the current occupants, and that was a very fun fact to come across when specifically doing research for Len’en but idk how else to incorporate it lol. And so on and so forth up until the present time.
Uhhh is that all I have atm? I think so! Anyway, I think I finally shook out all my suzutsuba doodles (and rambling, though I do still have that fic to work on. idk whether I’ll be able to finish it though; I started strong with an extended metaphor in the middle but Iiiii’m not sure if I can successfully write my way up to it while making it make sense. Also I may draw pretty slow but I write even slower!! Eh I’m sure I’ll post some of it sometime) for the time being so I should theoretically be able to finish up my bigger projects now. Maybe I’ll have the valentines ready in time for white day? We’ll see!

Recently saw a post saying that seeing “low kins” in someone’s kinlist is a red flag that they’re merely KFF and like... I GET why (I am not immune to making such judgments myself), but also, is everybody just ignoring the part of “otherkin”’s most widely-accepted definition that specifically says it’s “identifying wholly or partially” as your kintype?
Like... that feels like something that deserves more pointing out and exploration, I think?  The community places so much emphasis on not being remotely human (whatever “human” means) at all, and ngl to me it sometimes seems like a desperate attempt to simplify and render black-and-white things for the sake of being more “valid” to a cruel world that doesn’t understand them. One hollers “I’m completely a wolf in mind and spirit!”, but how much of that is out of desperation to have outsiders see them as their kintype at all?  Does it not make one feel sad and invalid if they don’t have a shift in long enough?  Feel that they’re not “wolf” enough and might be wrong?
Would someone appear “cringe” if they said they were “half dragon” or “a little bit” of a fox?  Probably.  But ALL otherkin and alterhumans are that as well, to an outside viewer looking to gawk at a poorly-understood subculture.
Are there too many KFF folks out there making fakey kinlists of every character and species they relate even a little to?  Yeah, probably, but that shouldn’t be a reason to completely brush off those who may fit more into the “partial” definition of an otherkin identity.  It really is a facet of otherkinity that seems to be ignored a lot in favor of being completely something, and it deserves more respectful documentation so we can all be less confused and more understanding of it.

Ninjago au where none of the ninja think death is a real thing and never conclude that one of them has died within the many fakeout deaths.
Wu got eaten by the great devourer? He’s literally the son of the fsm I think he can handle a bit of stomach acid
Zane exploded? Sucks yeah but he’s tough, everyone just stressfully scavenger hunts for his limbs so they can put him back together. It gets a bit complicated when it turns out Chen had Zane’s head but he was fine in the end
They hold a funeral for Garmadon going to the cursed realm but everyone knows he’ll come back so theyre not too worried
Morro stands there screaming about how he died and the ninja just say “sounds fake ngl” and he’s like “I’m right here!”
Garmadon tells Lloyd he’ll see him in about 3 seasons time
S6 Jay becomes the only ninja aware of death because he saw Nya die but he erased the timeline because he disagrees with death
Morro being so pissed that the ninja invalidated his death that even though in dotd he’s on their side he chooses not to get resurrected with Cole just so no one can use it against him and say death isn’t real
Kai and Nya being unfazed that their parents are alive
Harumi hates the ninja specifically bc of their view on death and she tries to kill them partially to prove them wrong. She keeps failing. They point out that she technically brought back Garmadon proving their point
No one thinks Mystake is actually dead, she’s an Oni who’s survived multiple wars, she’s probably being a rat somewhere
Lloyd died in MotO but then the fsm master came to him and said he also doesn’t believe in death and then Lloyd woke up again
Zane gets zapped to the never realm and Aspheera was like “aha! I have killed him” only for the ninja to say that god already confirmed death to be fake and aspheera was like “ok I lied”
Cole’s mum is the only dead person in the series. She is the singular outlier to the stats. Vangelis, the munce and geckles all are shocked to find out she’s dead
The merlopian king actually survived the stabbing he just passed out. But he thought he died and was too embarrassed to show up for the rest of the season. Poor bentho doesn’t even know
Even if Nya didn’t actually die, being sea is just as bad so nothing changes
Crystalised spoilers but Harumi is even more angry to be wrong again but she has to keep her pro-death is real beliefs to herself because the overlord is anti death alongside the ninja.

Finn tries to recruit AJ with a ‘too sweet’ AJ flips him off and damian has the reaction image of all time. TJD start beating AJ a ton but then spares him from the chair. 
Priest vs. Riddle(w). Damian lookin fine here ngl. As much as I hate Riddle him and Damian have a fuck ton of chemistry in the ring. That also means they’ll fuck eachother up. Love matches like this. STOP GIVING ME SO MANY CLOSE UPS I’LL GO FERAL! Lots of kickouts. Riddle wins via rollup on Damian. After the match TJD beats up riddle but then Edge saves riddle and then turns into william afton I guess. Edge challenges Finn to an I quit match. 
Raw 10/3/22. MY HOMETOWN!!! Judgment day starts off raw. Dom Dom finally seems more comfy with Rhea and TJD. The Judgment Day cut a little pre-match promo. Rhea really wore a suit in my hometown and I wasn’t there damn. LOL I love dom dom so much.

Extreme Rules 10/8/22. Only one Judgment day match makes me sad.
Balor(w) vs Edge. (I quit match) The crowd is pretty dead for this match. Finn pulls edge into the apron and it's kinda funny I won't lie. So Finn has edge by the commentary table and there’s this guy screaming ‘you suck’ at Finn and then Finn slams edges head into the table over and over and after every time he does that the guy yells ‘you still suck!’. They fight in the crowd for a bit. Rhea handcuffs edge to the top rope lol. Rey comes to save Edge. Rey gets fucked up by Dom lol. Beth comes out to save edge and she has a kendo stick and Rhea gets in the ring with Beth and the crowd goes nuts. Poor Dom takes a nut shot from Edge. Mami knocks out Beth with brass knucks and then Priest chokeslams Edge which allows Finn to stomp on Edge 3 times. But Edge doesn’t say I quit. Rhea threatens to conchairto Beth and this finally makes edge say I quit but Rhea hits Beth with the chair anyways.

What’s your opinion on the following MASH ships?
Piercintyre
HunniHawk
CharHawk
HouliHawk
Hawnk
CharMax
CharMarg
Hawkcahy
TrapMarg
Any other one not listed.
— piercentyre is definitely my favorite ship !! i think hawk definitely had some objective chemistry with everyone , but trapper and hawk just had undeniable love for each other since the beginning . i miss them so bad you guys !! so bad
— i don’t not ship hunnihawk i’m just more or less in the middle of the road on it . i can take it or leave it , but i also think that it was a bit more heavily seen on hawkeye’s side . i do think it’s cute tho !! i support you hunnihawk truthers
— ohh i love the idea of charhawk , two opposites who have this undeniable soft spot for one another , who love each other . i would go as far as to say that there is this unspoken understanding that this is true , but unfortunately i don’t think anything would ever come of it . they’re both so stubborn and in a way , so shy . but man i love this ship . i love it
— i definitely see how people ship houlihawk because there’s the enemies to lovers tension going . i see them more as besties who give each other a hard time out of love , but it’s a cute ship !
— i’m ngl i thought hawnk was a joke . i like it for its comedic value but not as an actual ship 😭😭
— i really love charles and klinger’s relationship . i definitely feel like klinger feels more understood by charles than the rest of the outfit — while the 4077 supports and overall likes klinger , not a lot of them really talk to klinger like charles does . so yes , i do like this ship !!
— charmarg is really special to me because i just love that charles treats her differently than every other man on the show . he sees her for margaret , even if it is partially because he was around only for her character after her development . this isn’t to say they never have disagreements , but i love the mutual respect between them and that they’re both very soft for specifically one another . whether platonic or romantic ( which i can definitely see ) charles and margaret are SO important to me
— hawkahy is so cute and i love it when hawk flirts with him , but all i see it is is rather harmless flirtations lol
— i honestly think the subtext between trapper and margaret was so random 😭😭 i just don’t think it really fits either of their characters . i do , however , wish they’d done more with a friendship with them because i think they flirted with that idea when they had their sweet moments . because i would’ve eaten up a good margaret / trapper duo
— i also like henry/klinger and mulcahy/klinger ( platonically or romantically ) and trapper/oliver

I’ve been thinking about the boatem knights recently, specifically about Pearl in her red cloak finding Scar and Grian and the implications of that. Now obviously that could just be the color of her cloak, cc!Pearl has said red is her favorite color, however I think it’s also interesting to think about how the traffic series could fit into the story. I don’t know Bee’s- or your- specific ideas for everyone’s backstories and such, so consider this rambling an au of the au lmao
(In this I’m just ignoring S9. Traffic happens in the same order but the server they return to is always S8)
Traffic is a game, Hunger Games style, but instead of appealing to some capitol, those benefiting are the watchers. They want bloodshed. They are also partially punishment to Grian and later Pearl for leaving them. Grian left them first, and after a while Pearl followed suit, which landed her a spot in Last Life and Double Life whereas she hadn’t been in 3rd Life. The two of them first became knights after Last Life. A small act of rebellion perhaps, to use their weapons and wit for a better cause than what the watchers wanted them to do. Scar, Mumbo, and Impulse join before Double Life
After the struggles of Double Life, Grian, Pearl, and Scar specifically had some healing to do. Definitely opportunity for angst there. Ultimately, though there are a couple residual sore spots, Scar and Grian are able to reconcile and their relationship is able to grow stronger through that. However, Scar still holds quite a bit of guilt, which is one of the reasons he has such a big freak out over accidentally hurting Grian (beyond just. yknow. injuring your friend). Pearl heals too, even if she still struggles with some aftereffects of it all. She’s gotten to the point where she’s able to adorn her red cloak and use some of the skills that made the others in Double Life so wary of her when needed, but for the good of her friends rather than a response to what had been done to her in the games
Ah, that did get a bit long. Sorry about that ueue, tldr this is such a good au and the combination of Bee’s art and your writing for it has made it stick in my mind so much and it’s great fun to think about
-🌙
GYHGFRTG OH MY GOODNESS I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA
@applestruda HEY COME LOOK AT THIS
Yes, you actually hit the nail on the head with Pearl's red cloak and double life!! I love love love putting allusions into my works and little references and it is my favorite thing whenever anyone picks up on them....
I love this so much I'm ngl this is SO COOL I got this ask and when I saw how long it was my jaw dropped, I'm so happy I got this ask oh my goodness this is amazing

the new op is making me insane so i’m gonna try to overanalyze its visuals, what i think the symbolism means, how it connects to this season and the manga arcs coming after it. all of it is my interpretation ofc, feel free to disagree and i encourage you to add your own takes!
i’m not gonna go over every single detail, either because i have nothing to say about it or i’m not sure what it could mean, which is another reason i encourage you to add your own analysis in a reblog if you want to :3
warning for major spoilers for the manga under the cut, as well as unholy amounts of reaching lol
first thing i wanna look at is uh. that one fyodor shot, and specifically the second before it
Tumblr media
the number of hands is a little odd to me. at first i noticed 4 sets of hand so my immediate thought was “oh, one set for every doa member, minus bram since he doesn’t have any” but noticing that 9th one coming alongside his face threw a wrench in that. so, assuming this number is purposeful, i have a few ideas:
1. it’s not just the doa involved, but the rats as well. both organizations have 5 members we know of. fyodor is in both organizations, meaning that combined, we have 9 people, and a hand for each one
2. it IS just the doa, and 2 hands for each member (bram included), except for fyodor who is both a hand and a head. he is the strategist and planner, thus he is the head, while the others are more like the ones who execute his plans, so they merely get to be hands (not sure how much i love this theory considering at the end of the day he is not their leader, but if you stretch it you could say that in this season we have no reason to assume he isn’t the doa leader so there’s no reason to imply otherwise? or a future implication that he’s letting fukuchi think he’s the leader but is actually manipulating him? yeah i dunno)
3. another one i don’t particularly love, but: it’s less about the number of hands, and rather about the finger highlighting the number 5, since this is going to be a key thing this season
okay, on to a more obvious one:
Tumblr media
tachihara has his back to us, as to not reveal his identity yet
he is looking upon a purple background, a color we see in some mafia members’ abilities, hinting at him belonging in the mafia
Tumblr media
once again, tachihara has his back to us. aside from him, all of the hunting dogs are revealed to the audience and looking forward (even if not 100%), except for fukuchi who is looking to the side, and is behind the pillar, making him visually separated from the rest of the group, since he belongs in the doa rather than the hunting dogs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
couple of things you might be able to get from this:
1. sigma looking to the side, his back to nikolai and bram. he is not willingly in the doa or supports their goals, more dragged along for the ride. he is a part of the group, but has his eyes shut and his back turned to them, some sort of buffer to imply his separation from them
2. the main thing we see of nikolai is his overcoat. ngl i’m not sure what the symbolism in this could mean but it feels important so i wanna point it out for maybe other people to connect the dots i can’t. possibly, this shot is to highlight the tools at the doa’s disposal, aka sigma and bram as themselves, but nikolai mainly used for his ability...?
Tumblr media
so. first of all. they’re and red and blue, opposites of each other in color and in direction as well
but the interesting thing to me is that they’re each others’ colors - with the ada usually presented in blue and the mafia in red, here we have it backwards. possibly to imply their (partial) role reversal in the eyes of the public, the ada now being demonized and hunted by the law while the mafia gets to lay low and offer assistance
possibly, you could stretch it to say their role reversal is in part about how fukuzawa would have to sacrifice a member for his organization in order to get what he needs, a thing that’s mori-like to do
Tumblr media
speaking of blue to symbolize the ada, ango is clad in a blue light, implying his upcoming alliance with the ada
Tumblr media
we see fukuchi using shintō amenogozen in his battle with atsushi and akutagawa
i’ve seen people say this part of the op implies their battle will be in this season and i’m ngl, i don’t think there’s any chance of that. it’s way too much story to cram into this season. i think this part is, for now, just to imply the ada and pm working together against the hunting dogs, and him using this sword and fighting them at the same time is just a nod to sharp eyed manga readers (same with the bram cameos)
Tumblr media
that being said. i want you to pay attention to the color of his ability in this frame (it’s a surprise tool that’ll help us later!)
Tumblr media
yosano and the butterfly, and we specifically see her from the side, with her butterfly hairpin shining, putting emphasis on her upcoming backstory
okay, now we’re getting into the character face closeups, and here i’m gonna use these handy posts from @/dazaistabletop for reference, bless your soul for getting all of them fr 🙏
the main thing i want to get from it is the colors. tldr: the ada is a teal-ish blue, the mafia is red and purple (depending on their abilities), the guild is yellow, the hunting dogs is white, the special division is brownish-orange, the doa are the same dark blue from fukuchi’s ability earlier. this does match the general color of the members’ abilities through every group as well.
when it comes to the order of the frames, i think it’s mostly random (tho, with key characters coming early, and more minor characters we barely even really see this season if at all showing up near the end) except for a few pairs:
dazai and fyodor are the first 2 frames, the key foils of this season
fukuchi and fukuzawa are one after the other because they are divorcing each other
akutagawa and atsushi are the ones to close this section and the opening as a whole, as they often do as the key foils of the entire series
a few frames i want to highlight in particular:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
tachihara’s purple is lighter than the other mafia members’ purple (added gin for comparison), implying his belonging to the hunting dogs
Tumblr media
mushi is brown too?? not sure what that implies ngl. mostly pointing it out as a request for anyone to chip in with their own take on that
Tumblr media
despite not working for the guild anymore (and given that he’s without his glasses we have to assume this is him working for fyodor), nathaniel is still in yellow. like with mushi, i’m not sure what that could mean. maybe they just didn’t want to figure out a color for the rats for 2 frames i dunno. again if you have your own take, hit me
Tumblr media
poe is fully colored the same color as the ada 🥺 he’s fully part of the team by now (ok now do lucy next.)
Tumblr media
the text appears for just two frames, nikolai and akutagawa. for akutagawa, it blends with his red background, but for nikolai it actively stands out and covers his already covered eye. unfortunately i can’t read japanese, so i would love that if someone who does sees this could tell me what the text says to see if that means something as well 🙏
edit: according to my friend @/almightyrozenidiot apparently it says rashomon! and i’d guess it’s in red because this is the color of this ability, after all. i still think its placement on nikolai’s covered eye is interesting, esp given how much it stands out (the other ability names flashing on screen in that sequence are written in white, i barely even noticed they were there), and i wonder if this might imply some future thing asagiri’s planning between them.
okay, so you were probably wondering why i skipped the fyodor flowers moment, and this is why

so. i tried figuring out what at least some of the flowers are to maybe see if there’s meaning there and either couldn’t, or the ones i did recognize did not align with anything meaning wise, so i figured the colors stand more for the colors of abilities we’ve seen so far, and mainly the ada and port mafia
the faces frames in the end of the op establish the special division’s color as orange, hence the two small orange flowers (and their yellow center could be for the guild). they definitely stand out less, as for now they are a smaller pawn in the plan. the ada - marked with the blue flowers and green leaves - are the biggest target of the current phase of the plan, and that’s why they’re closest to his face and make the most of the flowers, size wise
the only purely white ability we’ve seen so far is natsume’s. as the mediator between the three main organizations in yokohama, it makes sense for him to be in the middle of all these colors. the same white flowers are also on the outside (as seen below), since he is mainly watching things unfold from the side.
will also add that at times, no longer human appears as white or grey as well (tho usually - but not always - with a slight blue tint). this also makes sense given that dazai was in both the mafia and ada, and serves as a mediator or communicator between them at times, hence put in the middle as well.
unfortunately, i can’t tell what the pink flowers are meant to be. the only ability i can think of that’s pink is lucy’s (i don’t recall ever seeing the colored circles when she activates it, but given what anne’s room looks like it seems like a fair assumption), but it’s weird she’d get such a big part of this frame just for herself. maybe it’s because of how big her role is in helping the ada this season? again, if you have your own take please go ahead and share it!!

the flowers then stop growing and start withering as the white flowers take over
could not for the life of me find what these flowers are unfortunately, but, white flowers in general usually mean some form of purity and innocence. this does align with fyodor’s ultimate plan - to purify the world of abilities. white flowers often symbolize holiness as well, since his plan is, to him, the will of god
notice that the flowers have 5 petals as well, a repeating number of this arc and in many of the doa’s plans
edit 2: @/larathia pointed out in the comments that these flowers are japanese snake gourds! and apparently, in hanakotoba they mean “hatred of men”. yeah that checks out with fyodor lol
and... i think that’s all i have for you today! i hope you liked it! once again encouraging you to reblog with your own additions on things i might’ve missed or your own take on things, and i hope you all have a lovely day 🙏🖤
