Aone-

Today was supposed to be your 4th year anniversary with your amazing boyfriend Aone. However, that date idea had quickly turned to shit when you see your boyfriend at a booth with some other chick.

You didn’t want to jump to conclusions, because you were exceptionally early to this date, so you walk over, hoping it was a sister or some other relative.

But when you finally made it over to the table, your boyfriend looked like he had seen a ghost. Pale, scared, and he looked sick. The thing that hurt the most was the guilt swimming in his eyes. Eyes that were once only for you. Eyes that were always warm and welcoming, the eyes that felt like home. His once beautiful and bright eyes were now dulled, guilty and scared.

Aone felt like he couldn’t move. He was stuck in his chair when he saw you.

‘Our date isn’t for another 20 minutes... how could this happen...?’ He thinks to himself. Then he remembers what you had said earlier about being early for the special today. He curses under his breath and opens his mouth to make excuses, but that’s when he hears a sniffle.

He reluctantly looks up to see you crying, and swiping at your eyes wildly. His heart shatters and sinks to the floor and he immediately knows he shouldn’t lie, it’ll only make it worse.

“Baby i’m so sorry....” He looks down, not ready to hear your reply. “Was i not good enough..? What should I have done differently..?” You say in a small, hurt voice.

“No! I-” He was cut off by the other girl sitting in front of him.

“Bubs who’s this ugly little girl? She a friend of yours? Or what..she kinda smells a little..” She says in a squeaky, bratty voice.

“Oh, haha; i’m actually his soon to be ex-girlfriend! So nice to meet you!! And so nice to leave you ‘bubs’!” You say with a fake smile, and filled with sarcasm.

“Babe- do-” Aone started quietly, he always was so quiet and reserved. But he seemed so talkative with this new girl....

“By Aone! Bye bitch I don’t know!” You say oh so confidently, until you go to itch your eyes. ‘oh... tears..’ You began to cry harder as you realize you just left the one thing you loved most.

★ﾟ+.━━━…・‥★*ξ･(ｪ)･ Ҙ*★・‥…━━━ﾟ+.★★ﾟ+.━━━…・‥★*ξ･(ｪ)･ Ҙ*

Goshiki-

You and Tsutomu had been pretty distant after a fight you two had, and you wanted to go over and apologize to him because you realized you were in the wrong.

However, what you did not expect was to see another car parked outside of your shared home.

This fight you both had was because of some silly coworker jokingly hitting on you. You had known this person since you were little, so it was nothing new. They were also fully aware of the fact that you were in a committed relationship with Tsutomu.

So, who could be at his house? Was he really hurt enough to call a friend or relative for help/advice? Now you felt really bad, so you quickly make your way up the steps to your shared home and push past the door.

What you did not expect to hear, were muffled whimpers and Goshiki’s smooth, calming voice. ‘Wh-what?’ You think maybe it was something else, maybe it was Goshiki whimpering and sniffling and someone else sweet talking him. But once you walk into your bedroom....you shut down.

“B..baby,,?” You ask, voice small. You were shaking and trying your best to keep your cool and hold back the tears threatening to spill. “Whats going on..?”

Goshiki immediately whips his head around from where it was buried between someone elses thighs. But when he sees your hurt eyes and sad features guilt pools at the bottom of his stomach. He was with someone else, on your shared bed, in your shared home. This realization suddenly hit him like a brick, and he immediately shot straight up. “I-I can explain!!”

“Explain what? The fact you were pleasuring some random whore on our bed?? What else is there to explain Tsut- Goshiki?” You yell back, the tears from before finally breaking the barrier and streaming down your face.

Goshiki just stood there, shaken up and regretful, not daring to say a word, knowing it will make things worse. But you persisted and asked him again why he did it and he started to get annoyed with your yelling. “I was angry with your stupid fucking co-worker for flirting with you and smacking your ass and always eating lunch with you!! I wanted you to know how it felt!!” He yelled back, without thinking. Bad idea.

You were speechless to say the least. He did not just compare cheating to harmless banter between friends...did he? He didn’t just call your absolute bestfriend stupid...did he?

“Get out. Both of you.” You say, your tone stone cold.

“What..” Your ex says, his voice small and shaky, almost as if it was any louder it would shatter you.

“GET OUT!! NOW!!” You say, now yelling as warm, fat tears stream down your face. You were furious, deflated, tired, and so, so done. You thought you were going to be sick. You had trusted him, and here he was, with a beautiful woman, probably 10x better than you. And to think you were going to apologize to him.

“Baby... we can fix this! right? Move forward!” He says, not so confident or angry this time.

“What, so you can go off with some other bitch as soon as the going gets tough again? No. We’re over. Goodbye Goshiki, please don’t try to contact me, i’ll have someone come get my stuff.”

And with that, you slammed the door and walked out of the place you one called home.

Kita-

Kita was a simple man. He wanted 2 things in life: A family with you, and his rice fields to do well.

However he did not take it very well when you said you were not ready for a family, and he stormed out on you. That night you cried yourself to sleep, thinking about how you could be better.

The past month and a half, you and Kita have been pretty distant, and you have been preparing yourself for a family in any way you can. For example: Finishing the last of your extra studies, learning how to make extra delicious meals, even though Kita wasn’t ever there to try them, and you even started looking into parenting books. You just wanted to be the perfect wife for him.

So one day you waited for him to come home, ready to tell him the big news; you were ready to start a family. So when he finally got back, you told him!

“Babe! I think i’m ready for a family! With you!” You said happily and confidently. But when you saw his eyes widen in surprise, you didn’t expect them to also be oh so regretful.

“Y-you are..?” He asks, suddenly shaking. His stomach drops to the floor while his heart breaks simultaneously. You... you prepared yourself all on your own, just for him. And he knows he fucked up, getting some other girl pregnant, but he was so angry and sad he just.... it just... happened.

Just then, he gets a call, from the one person he really did not want to talk to. The other woman he got pregnant. He was so scared to pick up the phone, so you did. He froze. ‘No..! You cant pick that up...it will ruin us..’

“Hey! Shin! The baby just kicked! I hope its a girl.... Shin..?” The girl says on the other end, happy and excited.

“wh..what?” You say, confused. “Who are you..?”

“I’m his girlfriend! Who are you silly?” She says, still bubbly.

“I-” You start, and then hang up. It could not be. He did not get another woman pregnant, he was your baby, no one else...right? You slowly look over to Kita, hoping you didn’t just hear what you think you did.

He looks down, guilt and shame washing over his built figure.

“I’m so sorry... it wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did and I can’t just leave her by herself..” He says, voice gradually getting louder.

“So.. you couldn’t just wait a little longer huh...it’s okay, I hope you two will be happy.” You walked away after that, and just then was when Kita realized he was loosing you. He panicked, and reached out for your hand, but you were already gone, into the bedroom you both shared, presumably packing.

But it’s when he sees you walk out the door, tears streaming down your face, and sobs wracking you body, that reality finally shifted. You were leaving, and he was now responsible for a child that wasn’t yours. He was mortified to say the least.

“Bye Shin, i’ll always love you y’know.. I hope your child is as beautiful as you.”

Lev-

Today was your birthday! And you were so excited to spend it with your beanpole boyfriend! But he hadn’t answered your texts yet, and your calls either. You understood he had a photo-shoot, but it was over hours ago, even his manager didn’t know where he was. So you decided to check his snapmap because you were genuinely worried??

But when you saw his bitmoji at an unrecognized address, you freaked out and drove there immediately.

When you got there, his car was parked in the driveway, and the lights were on inside. You could also hear the faint hum of soft music.

Lev was always so gentle with you, and he never raised hid voice or got angry with you. You loved that about him, how soft he was. When you guys first met, he was willing to take things slow, and wait until you were both comfortable with eachother.

He was always so patient, or so you thought. You weren’t ready for anything intimate other than kissing, and he said he was okay with that. But horny men will be horny men.

But you at least thought he could wait a little longer for you, his girlfriend of 11 months. At least those were the thoughts that flew through your head as you walked into the mystery house.

It was Lev, laid out on a bed with silk sheets, rose petals scattered everywhere, and Champaign on the nightstand next to him.

Well, more like next to the other woman in bed with him, dressed in red lacy lingerie and pretty makeup. The candle-light makes them both look so majestic, well they would if they both didn’t have shocked/guilty expressions on their faces.

Lev got up immediately and tried to grab your arm, but you shrugged him off.

“I trusted you, and I loved you, I still love you! But here you are, with another woman, on my birthday. Happy fucking birthday to me i guess.”

He stood there dumbfounded as you walked out, your confident facade breaking as tears slip down your rosy cheeks. Then, you drive away, knowing things will never be the same...

@fullmetalhearths recently introduced me to Tokyo Ghoul and Touken, and I immediately fell in love. So, after binging the manga, and now binging the anime, what do I do? I spam her on Discord with an in depth analysis of the ship throughout the series, all from a question she posed: Did Kaneki find himself unworthy of love and dating after the incident with Rize?

Big analysis below the cut!

Kaneki definitely felt like no one would like him or date him, especially after that. Rize didn’t agree to date him because she liked him, she agreed so she would have a chance to eat him. That was her only goal. She led Ken on and had him believing she actually liked him back. We never hear of anyone having crushes on Ken during his school days. And with the names he’s been called as shown in the fight against Arima, it’s safe to say he was probably bullied in school. Maybe it stopped when Hide and he became friends, but that had to leave a lasting effect on the kid. We only ever heard of Ken crushing on girls through Hide’s teasing and flashbacks. Rize was probably the first and only girl to show interest in him. After that experience, and becoming a half-ghoul, his self esteem had to have hit an all time low. No girl was going to like him, especially not now that he was made into a monster.

Then comes Touka. She was initially kind to him, offering him food seeing that he was hungry. Rather than accept her kindness, Kaneki smacks her hand away and refers to ghouls as monsters. Touka didn’t want to be a ghoul, she just wanted a normal human life, and it’s safe to say she probably experienced loneliness similar to Kaneki. Her only friend shown was Yoriko, just like Hide was Kaneki’s only friend. With how Touka presented herself, I doubt anyone approached her for dating, either, and I don’t really think she looked at guys in her class and thought they were attractive. She just never seemed to be that type. She treated Ken rudely because he was behaving how all humans do—he saw ghouls as freaks and monsters, and now he was one, and that disgusted him. Touka, only ever wanting a normal life, saw this as a punch to the gut, which is why she was so rude to him. But eventually, she helps him out because he has no idea how to navigate this new world. She brings him to Anteiku, where the ghouls there survive off of the meat of the dead that they didn’t kill. They become unlikely friends, and they we already know Ken finds Touka attractive, he’s just too scared to do anything about it, and I’m sure the Rize experience has scared him away from dating for the rest of his life. They grow closer and closer as time goes on, and Kaneki shows Touka he cares about her when he says that he would be sad if she died. I don’t think Touka is used to people, other than Yoriko, Hinami, and Yoshimura, caring for her, and here’s this dorky idiot who hated ghouls caring for her, her who views herself as a monster.

We don’t know if Touka found Kaneki attractive beforehand, but I’d like to think she did. I love the idea of him being basically the first person she’s ever been attracted to in that way. This… beanpole dork. Touka even goes as far as stating she’ll save Kaneki for Aogiri on her own, if no one will help her. She’s so consumed by fear of losing him, and while her life wasn’t truly at risk against Ayato, I’m sure she thought it would be, but she still was willing to risk it all if it meant seeing Kaneki safe. And here comes Kaneki, saving her from her own brother, who was feasting on her kagune. Touka probably thought that was the moment she was going to die, but Kaneki swoops in and puts an end to it all, and his feelings for her show when he threatens Ayato with half-killing him and naming each bone as he breaks them. Touka finally has Kaneki safe and sound, but he ends up leaving her, which she was afraid of. Her biggest fear is people leaving her, and the guy she’s developed feelings for is doing it to her. We even see how destroyed she is when she’s in her bedroom holding her parents’ ring, and cursing his name.

Fast forward, Ken’s been gone awhile, but he remembers her birthday. He entrusts his gift to Yoriko, a keychain of a rabbit holding a sign that basically wishes her luck on her upcoming college entrance exams. It’s a sign from Kaneki that, even though they’re apart, he still has her on his mind, and he wants her to succeed in the life she’s chosen. She abruptly leaves Hinami and Yoriko in search of him, only to come out empty handed. Kaneki and Banjou, however, are watching, and Banjou asks Kaneki if he’s sure about not seeing Touka. Kaneki says that he wants to distance Touka from the ghoul world as much as possible, a world he has fully embraced, a world she never wanted to be in. He wants her to live a life of normalcy, as she always wanted, even if it means leaving her life.

Let’s move on to the bridge scene shall we? Touka runs after Kaneki after learning he’s still in Tokyo. She doesn’t even know what she wants to say to him, as made evident on this page.

Kaneki explains his goal to Touka—protecting those he cares about, which includes her—and she calls him out for being selfish, and not wanting to be alone. She’s already got this boy’s motives pegged, and the moment he tells her that her disagreeing with him is fine, so long as she isn’t alone, she throws the first punch. She doesn’t want him deciding that she can’t be alone, but I also think she’s frustrated and beyond hurt that he wants her to live a normal, happy life without him in it. He’s okay with that, as long as she’s safe. He’s changed from the young man with the rose colored glasses, to something almost unrecognizable, and she hates seeing it, because this is the guy she’s fallen in love with, and he’s fine with leaving her alone, which is her biggest fear.

In the next chapter, we have Kaneki telling the group that they’re to disband. He’s realized that he can achieve his goal of protecting others while remaining at Anteiku with his friends (and love of his life but he hasn’t figured that out yet he’s dumb). He even thinks of Touka as he says this, and admits that he was wrong.

During the raid, Touka is monitoring the battle via the news, I’m assuming. Yes, her friends are fighting and she wished to participate, but I know she knows Kaneki is there, and she’s worried. She looked so worried watching the broadcast. And then he’s presumed dead. No one knows where the fuck he went because Arima basically kidnapped him after “killing” him. In the final chapter of TG, Touka decides that Kaneki needs a place to belong, or a place to return to. She doesn’t believes he’s dead—there’s no solid proof that he is. Tsukiyama believes he is, sending him into his dark depression, but Touka holds on to her hope, and that’s why she decides to open :re with Yomo. She recognizes that she loves Kaneki, and with what has happened throughout her life, she isn’t ready to let that go and believe that he’s gone from this world.

We move on to :re and Haise. Don’t even get me started on Haise. Kaneki has been beaten physically and mentally by Arima, who feeds him lies of his friends all being dead. It gets to the point where Kaneki claws his eyes out repeatedly, only for his body to regenerate them, because he can’t handle the knowledge that he’s failed them. His brain invents this new personality to protect him from the onslaught, and Arima takes advantage of this. Yet, when Haise arrives at :re, he is completely smitten by Touka. He cries, but it’s only from one of his eyes—his kakugan eye, which leads me to believe that it’s Kaneki crying from within the depths of Haise’s mind. Touka is alive, she’s safe, she seems happy. That’s all he ever wanted for her, and it’s him realizing Arima lied to him. Haise, of course, isn’t aware of this, and has no idea why he’s reacting to her in such a manner. But he ponders on the possibility that he knew her before losing his memory, and wonders how he could have been in the presence of someone so beautiful. It doesn’t totally confirm Kaneki’s attraction to Touka, but it’s like a subtle hint I guess.

Haise begins to frequent the cafe, and I’m pretty sure it’s just to look at Touka. He made it so obvious, and Touka enjoyed having him there, even if it wasn’t as Kaneki. She served him coffee and he would read in the cafe, a total Kaneki thing to do, but she never pushed him or tried to force him to get his memories back. She just enjoyed that he was looking at her the way she would see him looking at Rize in Anteiku. It made her happy, as she tells Ken later on. Tsukiyama, on the other hand, really wants Kaneki’s memories to return, and even goes to Touka to discuss it, but she turns him down and is fine with him not remembering, so long as he’s happy, even if he’s part of the CCG. He has a “normal” life with friends that seem to care for him, and that’s all he ever wanted, was people who care for him.

Touka says she would continue doing what she’s doing, and now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure that’s running :re and having it as a place for him to return, should he ever decide.

When Kaneki finally gets his memories back and goes to rescue Hinami, Touka is there to support Ayato in his own mission to do the same. When she sees Kaneki not as Haise, but as Ken Kaneki you can just see the joy in her eyes in the panel where she tells him she’ll see him later. Knowing Kaneki was hellbent on dying at Arima’s hands makes that panel even more powerful, because it’s also where Kaneki has tears in his eyes and says “You’re a cruel one, Touka” because his plan to die has been foiled by a few words from the woman he loves. Hadn’t it been for her, he probably would’ve gone through with his suicide mission.

They finally reunite, and yeah, Kaneki gets his head shoved into the counter, but he deserved it, realistically.

But, Kaneki goes back to keeping her at a distance, at least when it comes to battle. When she confronts him about it, he finally admits it’s because he doesn’t want to lose her, and that’s basically his admission of his feelings, while hers is ASKING IF HES A VIRGIN AND OFFERING TO HELP HIM WITH THAT. This girl never ceases to amaze me. I love her so much.

But, we also get a more subtle admission from Touka, in the form of her telling him that the way he stared at her while he was Haise made her happy. This is a girl who has never been interested in dating, human or ghoul, and never paid guys interest. She kept to herself, Yoriko, and the Anteiku crew. I’m sure people found her attractive—they do in :re a ton—but why would she pay them any mind if she wasn’t interested in them? It means way more to her that Haise was looking at her in that manner than any other guy.

I’m never going to be over the fact of Kaneki blushing and hiding his face in his hand and just getting angry at Haise for outing him to Touka. And Touka seems to misinterpret the reaction because she asks him if she’s wrong in believing that he saw her as beautiful. These two will be the death of me.

Kaneki invites Touka to go with him when the crew decides to head underground to the 24th ward, and the joy on her face is so obvious. Kaneki realizes that keeping her at a distance is only putting a wedge between them, and if they venture out together, he can still protect her and make sure no harm comes to her. Enter FUCKING MUTSUKI who sees Touka and is thrown into a jealous rage, but Touka hands her ass to her so it’s all good. Which brings us to them hanging out in the abandoned building, a national treasure, a landmark, the greatest building to ever exist.

Touka is distraught over Yoriko, her best friend who she cares so deeply for, just as Ken does Hide. Mutsuki lied and tricked Touka into believing she was dead, and Touka asks Kaneki what he would do when he felt like seeing Hide, but knowing it was impossible. They relate to each other so well it’s insane. And while Kaneki is doing his best to comfort her, something clicks in Touka’s mind. This might be the only chance she has to really lay her feelings for him on the table, and it doesn’t hurt to seek comfort in the process, so she literally jumps him, pins him to the ground, and they both just stare at one another for a moment as they process what’s happening, and Touka gathers her courage. Kaneki looks to know what’s happening, but he doesn’t have the courage, himself, to go for it. Touka being Touka closes that gap and kisses him, and in the final panel of the chapter, Kaneki thinks to himself “Please don’t let this be a dream” because he’s been wanting this just as badly as she has, and it’s finally happening.

Chapter 125, aka the greatest chapter in manga history, happens, and there is just so much love in that chapter it is insane. It’s written all over their faces and shown through their actions. Kaneki continues to hope that he isn’t dreaming, and Touka practically worships this man’s body as she kisses down his chest. And when she takes off her bra, Kaneki calls her beautiful, which, sure, some may see as cliche, but Kaneki isn’t doing it to be romantic or sappy, he’s just stating facts, one which Touka doesn’t even believe, as seen in her reaction. Kaneki even reiterates it with a “really” when she questions him, to which she doesn’t respond to. I’m pretty sure it’s due to low self-esteem but also being so taken aback that someone—Kaneki—finds her beautiful, when she views herself as nothing more than a monster. The sex is literally the most loving god damn thing I have ever seen, and as cliche as it sounds, those two actually made love rather than just have sex. Kaneki was so gentle with her, even when she told him he didn’t have to be. He waited until the initial pain passed and asked her if she was okay, and if he was okay to move. And then, during it all, he winds up crying (and I’m of firm belief she does, too, in the manga, thanks anime!). Touka doesn’t even judge him for it. She smiles and asks why he’s crying, and Kaneki hadn’t even realized he was until she pointed it out. He asks himself “I wonder why?”, but it’s definitely clear that it’s because he has finally found what he’s been searching for all his life: someone who loves him unconditionally, a woman who won’t belittle him or turn him down or lead him on (as Rize did). He’s found himself a woman that loves him for who he is, loves even his faults, and wants to build a life with him. And, in turn, Touka has found the same in Kaneki. Someone to love her unconditionally, who doesn’t view her as a monster, who thinks she is beautiful and worthy of being loved, someone who will never leave her as long as he has a say in it.

I often wonder what they discussed that night between the sex. Did they just lie there, naked on the random blanket on the cold floor, holding each other and grinning like idiots at what they just did? Touka probably held his hand and played with his fingers while he talked, traced silly little patterns across his chest with her finger, kissed him a whole lot because she could…

Honestly, the time skip between the abandoned building and the ghouls establishing a life underground is so crucial to their relationship. Here’s Kaneki, showing up with Touka, probably a bit disheveled from their activities that morning, and everyone just accepts it because they knew it was happening, they just had to wait and see when. Ken is always so busy being a king that I’m sure his time spent with Touka is few and far between, but when they do spend time together, it’s so so so important to them both. I can almost guarantee they did it every time they had time alone together, and that Ken rarely ever slept in his own cell. When he did, he probably cuddled his pillow in his sleep thinking it was her, and she probably imagined her pillow as his chest.

People seem to think Ichika was conceived in the abandoned building, but there’s no way these two didn’t have sex underground, too. That’s why Touka was doing math to figure out her due date (also, can we comment on how she apparently has the dates they’ve had sex memorized?). She probably misses her period underground and that sends her into a god damn frenzy. Do you know how scared she had to be to find out she was pregnant? Not that she didn’t want it, but because the child is half human half ghoul and it’s so rare for those to make it to term. She knew she could trust Nishiki, so she sent him to buy her a fucking burger (probably from Big Girl, knowing it was Ken’s favorite spot) and he does it without questioning her motives. He doesn’t even pry when he gives it to her. He’s honestly such a good friend, even if he’s an ass. She willingly ate human food because she knew she had to give the baby what it needed, recalling what Yoshimjra had said about his wife’s pregnancy. She did something so similar to what she did when she ate Yoriko’s food, and that was willing her body to keep it down, but not out of her care for her friend, but out of care for her and Ken’s child, and wanting it to make it to term. She kept it hidden from Kaneki because he was so tired, you could see the bags beneath his eyes, and probably so so stressed. Her telling him she was pregnant would only worry him even more.

Also, The fact that Ken wears Touka’s necklace in the GOD DAMN SHOWER underground is so telling to how much he loves that woman. And when Tsukiyama asks when he started caring so much about ghouls, Kaneki literally just says “Touka”.

Back to the Kaneki discovering Touka’s pregnancy. Albeit, it was from Nishiki, but never once did he think “oh shit I don’t want a child”. He was concerned about Touka and ran to her cell to see if she would tell him, and when she didn’t, he figured he misinterpreted Nishiki’s words. Also how easily she asked him if he wanted to do it and him saying no, and then backtracking and saying, well , not no… is so funny to me.

Kaneki hiding the execution notice of Yoriko from Touka may not have been the right thing to do, but I wonder if he intended on saving her, rather than Touka going and doing it on her own. He knows with such high emotions involved, Touka would be reckless. He would be, were that he and Hide. But her finding it under his pillow when she lies in his bed? It’s great that she didn’t lose trust in him for hiding it, honestly, but I can imagine finding that. She went in there, I’m convinced, to come clean to Kaneki and announce her pregnancy, but he wasn’t there. So what does she do? Lie in his bed to feel close to him. Possibly wait for him. It’s very sweet. And then he and her talk, and he tells her that he has something to tell her. The Yoriko thing, I imagine, but Touka makes light of the situation and asks if he’s come to tell her he’s fallen in love with another woman underground, which is cute. She’s trying to lighten the mood, even if her friend is facing execution. She chooses to ignore it I believe because rescuing her would place their child in danger, and Touka doesn’t want that, so she tells Ken that she’s pregnant. Him asking himself “is that what you chose?” is him essentially asking if she’s chosen to ignore it. He struggles with himself to make the right decision—tell her about Yoriko even though he’s aware she found the notice, or be happy about their child. He makes the right choice, in the end, because I imagine Touka was worried he’d be upset. And he isn’t. He wants to know when it’s due, and then he tells her he’s happy. Why wouldn’t he be? Sure, they’re at war, but this is all Ken has ever wanted. People to care about that care for him back. He has that in Touka, and now she’s creating life that is both him and her. He’s going to be a father. Why wouldn’t he be happy?

The marriage was quick, and lacked a proposal (nice job Ken lol) but I know he truly wanted it. He would marry her regardless if she was carrying his child or not. This is a woman that loves him, finally, after all of his searching and rejection through life, he’s found what he’s always wanted: a woman who loves him more than anything in the world. It’s a no brained that he asks to marry her! He doesn’t do it because they’re having a baby, either. He does it because he wants to. There’s nothing in the world he wants more than to spend his life with her, and so they make that commitment with their bite marks. I’ll never be over how intimately that was drawn! He’s holding her so close to him and closing his eyes, probably so worried about hurting her, but this is just what ghouls do when they marry, and he’s more than willing. I would’ve loved to see Touka biting him, but I’ll leave that up to my imagination (I also just wanted to see Kaneki shirtless again). I know for a fact they had sex after this, Ishida told me so.

Later on, while walking with Yomo and Tsukiyama, Kaneki runs into Touka, who is so cheerful to see her husband, offering him and the group a cute little “yo” and a wave. Kaneki starts thinking about how much he loves her, how he wants to live on for her, and to protect her. This is a subtle callback to his “discussion” with Hide during the fight with Arima. Hide told him he hasn’t found his purpose in life, yet, something to live for, but he will. And he did—he found that in Touka, and he can’t even wait a moment to tell Yomo and Tsukiyama (and probably anyone who would listen afterward) that he and Touka married. He was so so so happy and excited to let that be known, and while Touka was embarrassed, I know she was happy, too. This is just Touka we’re talking about. Things like romance embarrass her. She’s not a vulnerable woman by any means, but love makes one vulnerable to their partner, and Kaneki holds her in the palm of his hand. That’s scary to her, and I don’t think she likes people thinking she’s weak. I don’t think she thinks love makes one weak, I just think that she believes they’ll view her as vulnerable and not as tough as she lets on.

At the wedding celebration, she asks Kaneki if this is what he wanted, and it’s such a sentence that can be interpreted so many ways, but I think she asked him that meaning the celebration. He told anyone who would listen that they got married, and Tsukiyama being Tsukiyama just *had* to throw them a party. Kaneki says yes, and that he’s happy, and I genuinely believe he’s extremely happy with the celebration. He wants to show off their love, that was made clear when he told Yomo and Tsukiyama. He also says something to Touka along the lines of doing what Nishiki was doing, and I think he means getting her burgers. I don’t think he can go above ground and just buy one himself, seeing that everyone and their mother at the CCG know his face, so I think he just sends people. Probably Nishiki still. Sorry Nishiki. But the point is, he gets her whatever food she wants. My bet is he sent someone to get her cake after she asked for it, considering he said “roger”.

Then the unthinkable happens. Mutsuki attacks while Kaneki is above ground on a mission, with her eyes set on Touka, knowing how important she is to Ken. If Kaneki had been there when Mutsuki was attacking… let’s just say nothing of Mutsuki would be left. But Touka fights her off well enough, and while she doesn’t enjoy having others protect her, she knows it’s for the best since she’s with child. She’s greatly matured since TG. :re really shows a grown up Touka and I love that so much.

Now I want to continue my essay with arguably one of the greatest moments in the manga, and that’s Kaneki getting practically obliterated by Juuzou and co. and the thing that drives him to continue fighting is the thought of his wife. All of his personalities—original Ken, child Ken, pre-ghoul Ken, baby ghoul Ken, Haise, Black Reaper, even the Ken that was fucked up beyond belief in Cochlea… They all worry about Touka, to the point where they all begin saying they want to see her. They even discuss having not named their child, yet, and one of them makes fun of her for not being good at Japanese dkdjdj. It gets to the point where he’s okay with eating and killing human children. They’re in his way, and if he can just eat, he will regenerate and be able to fight. He can’t even stop thinking of her as he attacks. The thing driving him to continue on is Touka, even if it means going against his own morals. He has to live and see her again, he has to live on for her and their child.

We’re shown this panel during Tsukiyama’s speech, and this honestly hurts me so much. Touka is crying, her, a woman that has never shown a sign of weakness and pushed people away when she needed them the most (like when Ken tried to help her after her first fight with the doves). The thought of losing Kaneki is the most unbearable thing in the world to her—she can’t lose him. She lost him once before, and he came back to her. She can’t bear the thought of losing him for good, not when they’ve just started their life together.

(I would also like to make note that the shirt she’s wearing appears to be the same shirt Kaneki would wear, the one he wore when she asked if he was a virgin, the one he wore when they had sex.)

This next scene between Touka and Hide is so important. Touka and Hide are the two people Kaneki loves most in the world, and Hide recognizes just how important Touka has become to his best friend. He’s intent on “getting beneath her mask” after taking his off. He wants to pick her brain, to learn more about the woman that Ken fell for, and the woman the fell for Ken. Hide has probably witnessed many rejections to Ken, like you said. He’s probably over the moon that Ken has found a woman who loves him as much as she does… and this idiot is so shy that she doesn’t even want to answer Hide’s question. Of course, she does, and it’s when Kaneki showed how he cared for her, ghoul or not… that was such a pivotal moment in Touka’s life. Kaneki showed her that she can be cared about and is worthy of it, and that changed everything for her.

THIS is so important. Had he never pursued Rize, he never would have had her organs transplanted into him, and had that never happened, he never would have met and fallen for Touka. He maybe would’ve met some lame human girl in college and lived a lame human life /hj But he acknowledges that it’s because of Rize that he found someone who cherishes him. Had it not been for her, he and Touka would’ve never been a thing. They found each other because of his dumb crush on a woman that wanted to eat him.

Because of Urie, Touka was able to get away from Mutsuki and continue her search for her husband. Hearing the metal detector go off… I can’t even imagine the thoughts going through her head in that moment as she rushes off to find him. Is he okay? Is he dead? Dying? Is he scared? Does he know what he’s done? She unleashes her kagune (which Ishida has drawn as complete, and it looks as though she’s developed a kagune similar to Ayato’s now. Is it connected to emotions? Did her love for Kaneki cause her to get stronger somehow? I have many questions for Ishida) and attacks the dragon, desperate to find Kaneki.

She starts to dig, and you can see the pain on her face. Physical pain, I think. That dragon is strong, and she’s digging through it to find her husband. Her fingers are bending, possibly breaking, and I’m positive she’s ripping her nails in the process, but it’s worth it. The pain is nothing in comparison to losing her husband.

We’ve never seen Touka so afraid before. This is a woman that went up against the doves, managed to kill one of the strongest, the one who took her father’s life, even, and faced the white reaper who killed her mother. Never did she show fear during those battles. She didn’t even show fear when Mutsuki’s lackey had his foot on her head, capturing her. But this is different. This is Kaneki’s arm, with the ring she gave him around it. Was he clutching it at some point to feel close to her? Why else would it be around his arm? Then, we see Touka’s realization. Her eyes widen, her mouth opens, and she screams as she clutches the arm to her chest. This is the first time she realizes that Kaneki may not be okay, and she can’t bear it. She breaks down crying.

Desperation kicks in. She has to find Kaneki, she has to make sure he’s okay, so she digs again, this time at a frantic pace, all while still crying. The dragon creates more dragon orphan monsters, probably viewing her as a threat to their host. She fights them off best she can, but she’s injured from her fight with Mutsuki. She’s weakened, bleeding, and she’s about to die trying to recover her husband.

There is such relief on her face when she finds Kaneki. His body from the neck down is unrecognizable, but he’s safe, he’s whole, and he’s alive. Touka found him, against all odds, and it’s because he never takes off that fucking necklace of his.

The quinx are around him, not just Touka, but all he cares about is her. She’s the first person he sees after being saved, and it looks like he’s doing his best to smile at her, even in his weakened state. He wants her to know that he’s okay, that he loves her, that he’s glad she saved him. She did what she told Hide—Kaneki was always saving her, and she just wanted to save him, again, and she did, and he’s so grateful to have such a beautiful woman, inside and out, in his life.

Kimi tells those in the room—Touka, Hide, Urie, Nishiki—that the CCG and Research team want to perform on autopsy on Kaneki. It’s clear they don’t have hope he will survive, and rather than focus on saving him, they want to open him up and see what’s going on inside. Forget the family he has waiting for him, the wife who saved him, the unborn child that deserves to meet her father… It’s more important to dissect the “main body” as they refer to him as to discover how to stop the dragon. It’s only Kimi’s hypothesis that another nuclei exists that keeps him safe… and her hypothesis is correct. But I cannot imagine the fear Touka was experiencing hearing those words. Kaneki has organs that no one can recognize, his brain waves are faint, and that’s what is classifying him as alive. She can’t lose Kaneki… not again. Not for good.

Hide being the amazing friend that he is even cracks a joke to ease Touka. He reassures her that he’ll be fine, and that she should look after Kaneki. He recognizes how much they love one another, and I think that makes him so incredibly happy. I said it already, but this guy watched his best friend get his heart broken by women who either paid him no mind or laughed in his face at the thought of dating him. And here’s Touka, who never shut him down, who never made fun of him, who never saw him as an annoyance or a weirdo or a goofball that she couldn’t be seen with. She fell in love with him for him—his kindness, his compassion, his weirdness, his lameness, his dorkiness… That’s all Hide ever wanted for his best friend. He wanted him happy, and Kaneki finally found that.

Everyone (save Tsukiyama and Touka) are shown sleeping in Kaneki’s room, waiting for him to wake. Touka seems to begin to doze off, probably exhausted from everything that has happened that day, but the sound of Kaneki rising from the table wakes her. He’s back and he’s alive. That’s all she’s wanted, and she’s gotten it. You can see the sheer relief on her face when he says her name.

I think this hug is incredibly important, as well. Touka doesn’t seem to be one for PDA, and the room is full of people, but she’s so overcome with emotion that she has to do something. Were they alone, I haven’t a doubt she would’ve kissed him, but she opts for a hug, instead, because of the crowd. I can almost guarantee she’s crying into his shoulder in the last panel.

What’s also important here is Touka isn’t jealous of the people Kaneki is spending his time with. He has a job to do, and is obligated to protecting both ghouls and humans while atoning for his actions. Touka understands that, and is with him every step of the way, even if it’s on the sidelines. She has to take a step back due to her pregnancy, but, were she not pregnant, I have no doubt she would be out on the streets with him. Also, let’s take a moment to admire their smiles and Ken reaching for her hand 🥺

Touka knows how STUPID this guy is and how he literally had multiple death wishes, and for him to promise to come back home, safe and sound, is extremely telling to how he’s matured. He’s found his purpose in life, just as Hide said he would.

And while Kaneki is searching for the dragon’s nuclei, I can’t imagine what had to be going through Touka’s head. She’s providing Saiko support and comfort because she knows how she looks up to Kaneki, all while waiting for her husband to return, with no way to communicate with him so far underground, with no way to know if he’s safe. All she has is hope, and that’s just so… ouch.

After so long, the fighting has ceased. Touka realizes that Kaneki has fulfilled his duty, but she still must wait. Her brother and husband are still underground, and there’s no telling what’s going on. Did Ayato die? Is Kaneki fatally injured? All she can do is wait and hope. She admits her fear to Saiko when asked. She’s terrified of the unknowns that have presented itself. Kaneki promised to come back to her, and that’s the hope she holds on to.

They wait, and Ayato ultimately pulls Kaneki from drowning, saving him, and brings him back just as promised. Touka had to be so relieved to see him alive and (somewhat) well, and just like she sat at his bedside before, you bet your ass she sits at his bedside while he sleeps for those two weeks. He needs the rest, she knows he does, but she’s anxious for him to wake. Kaneki gets so many visitors those two weeks, but the one that never leaves is Touka. She probably bathes him every day and keeps his teeth brushed, combs his hair so it doesn’t tangle, holds his hand and talks to him, lies her head on his chest and listens to his heart beat because the heart monitor beeping isn’t enough for her… and then he wakes up, and again, she is the first thing he sees. I can’t imagine how happy he is. He’s alive, he kept good on his promise to return to her, and with peace established, they can lead a normal life, the kinda Touka always wanted. Kaneki can give that to her, just like he always wanted.

Chapter 179 reveals that Kaneki and Touka are leading as normal of a life as they can. Kaneki has seen his goal come to fruition—ghouls and humans coexisting. They raise their daughter, Ichika, who is loved by everyone, and according to a tweet from Ishida, he and Touka run a coffee shop. I have seen many beautiful ships in my day, but Touken absolutely takes the cake for me. Ishida crafted such an amazing, relatable, and believable love story, and he did so effortlessly. He provided them both with the endings they deserved, and I will never ever be over this ship.

#tokyo ghoul #touken #touka kirishima #ken kaneki #touka x kaneki #kaneki x touka #meta #tokyo ghoul meta #my meta #this is probably incredibly messy as it was written sporadically on discord over the course of a day and a half #oh well

The Trial of Shoyo Hinata’s Rising Heartrate, Evidence Four: The Trim

Can also be read on AO3!

Rating: G

Fandom: Haikyuu!!

Pairing: Kagehina (Kageyama/Hinata)

Characters: Shoyo Hinata, Tobio Kageyama, brief appearances from Coach Ukai and Daichi

Word Count: 1,773

Summary: A close call at practice becomes a source of confused embarrassment for Hinata.

A/N: Inspired by this very sweet, very good fanart by @fauxmeeks. Further author’s notes can be read on AO3.

It wasn’t that Shoyo had ever doubted Karasuno would make it through the first Spring Interhigh qualifying rounds. He’d known they would win. But that still didn’t lessen the thrill of victory.

And that especially didn’t lessen his excitement over facing Aoba Johsai again. With every passing practice, the new freak quick was becoming more reliable, and the thought of using it to get around the very block that had lost them the last tournament made Shoyo’s palm itch with anticipation.

He could see that anticipation mirrored in Kageyama. He saw it in Kageyama’s eyes whenever their gazes met, saw it in the way he ran across the court, the way his fingers curved around the ball before a set. He could see it in the entire team, but his eyes always sought Kageyama’s, searching for the distinct glint that told him, “Now.”

Not that he could let his duties as middle blocker lag behind either. He didn’t know what kind of practice Tsukishima was getting with his brother’s team, but the blonde beanpole had started playing like he actually wanted to be on the court. On the days that Shoyo was a little too focused on refining the freak quick, Tsukishima could actually give him a run for his money when it came to blocking.

It was unnerving, but also a little thrilling. And Shoyo would never turn away from a really good competition. Tsukishima was suddenly playing with a burst of motivation? Fine. Shoyo would fight just as hard.

The thing was, volleyball went so far beyond just what they did on the court. There were drills, strength building exercises, eating the right food, getting somewhat passable grades, stretching and warming up and cooling down, and taking care of his nails. He did his best to keep up with it all.

But sometimes things slipped through the cracks. And he didn’t notice until it was a little too late.

It happened near the end of August, during a 3-on-3 practice match. On one side were him, Kageyama, and Sawamura. On the other were Suga, Azumane, and Tsukishima. The entire match, Tsukishima had been tracking the quick with freakish accuracy, and even though Shoyo had been able to dodge his blocks, he still felt the burn of competition lighting a fire under his feet. He felt like he was seeing everything a little clearer, his eyes tracking the ball from Suga’s dig, to Tsukishima’s messy set, to Azumane springing into the air.

There.

Shoyo’s hands managed to touch the ball, and he opened his mouth to shout, “One touch!”

But what left him instead was a surprised yelp. When the ball bounced off his hand, he suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain in the side of his middle finger, as though someone had nicked him with a tiny blade.

To his dismay, he heard Sawamura call out, “Wait, time out!”

“I’m okay!” Shoyo tried to reassure him.

“It didn’t sound like you’re okay,” Sawamura hummed with furrowed brows. He moved towards Shoyo, but Kageyama beat him there, blue eyes looking dangerously stormy.

“What’s the deal?”

“Nothing!” Shoyo glared back up at Kageyama. “Just…my finger hurt suddenly.” He squinted at his hand, but all he could see was a line of raised red skin on his middle finger. “I’m not even bleeding, I’m fine. Wait- hey!”

Before Shoyo could even look up, Kageyama was grabbing his hand and pulling it up peer at his fingers. “The hell? Who cuts your nails?”

It took Shoyo a beat to respond, his attention narrowed in on the feeling of Kageyama’s calloused fingers handling his own. “U-um…I do.”

“Of course you do,” Kageyama sniffed. “You ever seen a nail file, dumbass?”

“Yeah!” The effect of his indignant voice was ruined by the way his cheeks heated up at Kageyama’s disbelieving frown. “…Maybe.”

“Doesn’t look like you have. Look at how sharp the edges of your nails are.” He pushed the offending fingers into Shoyo’s face. “I dunno how you haven’t cut yourself before.”

The embarrassment that was bubbling up in him clashed with his confusing happiness over Kageyama’s fingers wrapped around his own, making a cocktail of emotions that felt dangerously like anger. “It’s not my fault I don’t—”

“Hey, lovebirds.” Their heads whipped around to see Coach Ukai watching them with a bemused smile. “Can we continue the practice? Is everything ok, Hinata?”

It wasn’t the first time he’d called them that nickname, but it was the first time it made Shoyo’s cheeks feel like they could catch fire. “M’fine,” he mumbled, tugging his hand out of Kageyama’s. “Sorry, Coach.”

“It’s alright, just be careful.”

It was a weird, embarrassing moment, but as soon as Azumane served the ball, all of Shoyo’s embarrassment was forgotten. They had a match to win.

He didn’t get hurt again for the rest of practice, though he did get stopped by Coach Ukai before he could leave for the club room. “Can I see where you got hurt?”

“Yes, sir. But you can’t really see it now.” Shoyo still presented the offending finger, and Ukai peered at it before nodding.

“Alright, I’m glad it wasn’t serious. Kageyama’s right, though. I know you don’t want to hear that, but it is important to keep your nails smooth. It’s already easy enough to get hurt in this sport without you creating more chances for that to happen.”

Just like that, Shoyo remembered the feeling of Kageyama’s fingers around his own, handling them with a gentleness that belied his grumpy nagging. Shoyo’s cheeks warmed with…anger? Was it anger? Anger was the only response to a big jerk nagging at him that made sense, right?

“Hinata?” He was startled out of his thoughts by Ukai, who once again looked both amused and confused. “You ok?”

“Yeah! I’m fine!”

“Alright…well, go get changed and go home, get some rest. Good work today.”

“Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.”

The warmth in his cheeks faded as he jogged to the clubroom and got ready to go home…only for it to return when Kageyama suddenly nudged him. “Oi.”

“What?”

“Sit.”

Shoyo blinked at him. “Huh?”

“Sit down.” Kageyama plopped down onto the clubroom floor, as if he wanted to provide an example.

“Why?”

“Quit asking questions and just listen to me!”

Shoyo scowled, but obeyed, mirroring Kageyama’s cross-legged position. “Why’re you being so weird?”

Kageyama glared in the middle of digging through his bag. “I’m not being weird! I’m trying to help!” He tugged out a small pencil case with Vabo-chan printed on it and unzipped it, before holding his hand out. “Gimme your hand.”

“...You’re not gonna cut it off or something, are you?”

“I will if you keep being stupid.”

That was hardly reassuring, but Shoyo still placed his hand in Kageyama’s. The setter tugged Shoyo’s hand closer and pulled out a nail file from the Vabo-chan case. And then, while Shoyo watched in disbelief, Kageyama isolated one of his fingers and began carefully filing away the jagged edges of his nail. “You…wanted to do my nails?”

“Someone’s gotta do it when you’re doing such a shitty job.” It was almost funny, how much the harsh words clashed with the gentle way Kageyama worked. Shoyo didn’t know he was capable of handling anything as gently as he handled his fingers. It was like Kageyama thought he was made out of glass, like he was a fragile thing that needed to be handled with the utmost care.

At any other time, from any other person, Shoyo would’ve been insulted by the idea. But now he could only sit there and watch as Kageyama worked, his dark fringe hanging over his eyes and his ears slowly turning a bright red that matched how hot Shoyo’s cheeks felt.

Shoyo Hinata wasn’t a shy person, and he wasn’t easily embarrassed. He wouldn’t have stuck with volleyball if he were.

He wasn’t very good with words, either. So he sat there, with burning cheeks and a feeling like electricity skating through his body from where his fingers met Kageyama’s, and felt utterly confused over the emotions bubbling up in him. It wasn’t just happiness, and it wasn’t just embarrassment, either. He wanted to both hide away from Kageyama and never leave this moment, wanted to pull away and wanted to weave their fingers together. His heart felt like it could pound out of his chest, and if he tried to speak, his throat felt sealed together from how dry it was.

So he didn’t speak. He just sat there, mutely watching Kageyama work, only managing to speak up when some of the team began trickling out of the clubroom with shouted “Bye!”s.

He didn’t know how long it took for Kageyama to do all his nails. It felt like it could have lasted five seconds or five years, he couldn’t say. Eventually Kageyama brushed away the dust with his thumb and nodded in satisfaction, his lips pressed thin around a secret smile. “Alright. M’done.”

“Oh. Thanks.” For his flustered shyness, Shoyo felt a little reluctant to pull away, but Kageyama settled it by gently dropping his hand into his lap.

“I’m not gonna do it again, dumbass. You better learn to file your own nails, or you’re gonna keep scratching yourself.”

“So mean, Kageyama-kun.”

Blue eyes flashed up to meet his, only to soften at the wide smile that stretched across his face. “...Whatever. Let’s go.” With that, Kageyama packed away his Vabo-chan case and pushed himself to his feet, swinging his bag across his body. “This took way longer than I thought it would.”

“I didn’t ask you to,” Shoyo grumbled.

“I’m not gonna let you get hurt when we have to beat Aoba Johsai and Shiratorizawa.”

“I’m not gonna be taken out by a scratch!”

“You don’t know that!”

Shoyo’s cheeks couldn’t seem to cool down, not during the trim, and not during their walk from the school. He couldn’t help it. Kageyama just seemed to keep saying things that made the blood rush to his face, even though everything he said was as stupid as usual.

The weirder thing was that Kageyama’s ears had stayed red from the moment he’d pulled out his nail file to the moment they parted ways on their way home. The whole thing had just been…weird. Shoyo couldn’t think of a better word for it, and he couldn’t figure the whole thing out.

Still…as he replayed the feeling of Kageyama’s fingers holding onto his, Shoyo felt a smile push at his red cheeks. It was weird, yeah. But it was also nice. Really nice.

Maybe he was turning a little weird, too.

Found out the canonical heights for characters in Miraculous tonight, and I'm genuinely dying of laughter.

They're all so freaking TINY!!!! They're all just BABIES!!! Alix is literally the size of an average 6yo! And most of them actually aren't that, abnormally tiny, closer to the size of most like 10-12yos than the 13-15yos they are, but not unreasonably small if they all just happen to have not hit their growthspurts yet. (My almost 15yo brother is actually about the same height that Adrien canonically is, even after growing like 5" in the past year, and guys in my family are tall) And Ivan and Kim both already have noticably started their growthspurts, and are within the average height range for their age. But then theres Hawkmoth who's this actual 7'2" GIANT in comparison to these tiny baby superheroes (who don't deserve this stress!)

And I realize that most of the fandom has chosen to ignore these canonical heights, but I genuinely want someone to write a fic where the whole reason Marinette is as clumsy as she is is because unlike most of her friends she's actually started to hit her growthspurt, and is just dealing with teenage gangliness.

And she likely only ends up like 5'2"ish by the time she stops growing around 16 (when girls normally stop growing) and 9ish inches is still alot to grow in two years (one of my sisters did that, and literally ended up on crutches like 5x in that time because it ramped up her clumsiness so much) but it's more gradual than some of her classmates. Alix for example is 3'6" and has like a year left to grow before reaching her adult height of approximately 5', so she's literally growing at least an inch every month. And the guys it's not necessarily as dramatic, as they have a whole decade to grow still, so they're not as much of disasters as the girls, most of whom should probably be growing about a foot in a year or two. Like Chloe is trying SO hard to maintain her image, Juleka is stumbling in her heels when Marinette has her modeling something, Alix outright has to relearn how to skate (but now she can reach higher than Kim's stomach to punch him when he teases her about it) there's at least a couple broken bones, and its just chaos.

And Adrien, who at 5' is already one of the tallest in their friend group, we know genuinely has the potential to grow another TWO freaking FEET. He probably doesn't, and hits like 6'5" or something in his 20's, but he's growing like crazy. The other guys are all a little awkward and clumsy too, but they have nothing on this beanpole, who ends up in getting WAY too many stitches because he keeps literally tripping onto his and Kagami's fencing foils.

But they're the SUPERHEROES too, and they're all scrawny with gangly limbs and unaccustomed to their height. Rena and Carapace's literally rehearsed parkour keeps ending in a tangled heap of limbs, Chat keeps launching himself too far when pole-vaulting with his baton, no one is actually aware of how long their limbs are, and the already irritating disproportional strength to size ratio is made 5000x worse by their powers, and it's a mess. Like it almost becomes a meme it's so funny when there's like 6m where the famously clumsy Ladybug is the only hero of Paris ever able to make it through a battle or patrol without tripping over their own feet and/or weapon.

And yet somehow they keep winning. They get accustomed to their new heights. They build their muscle back up to be proportional. They learn to use their new powers. And winning starts getting easier and easier.

And then they get to a final battle with Hawkmoth. And suddenly he's not a terrifyingly giant, seemingly unbeatable supervillian. He's just a weirdly tall criminal with horrible fashion sense and the dumbest evil plans imaginable.

started thinking about some general preston-logan family HCs last night so bear with me...

(oh yeah. should preface that, as much as it pains me, we’re going cis bill rules for the sake of my sanity so i don’t have to deal with baby situations. ted’s still nonbinary though)

— if wyld stallyns merch comes in kids sizes, then it was definitely part of billie and thea’s wardrobes when they were young (and probably still is tbh) not because their dads forced them to but because they’re their dads’ biggest fans

— oh god oh wait i started thinking about uncle death again... most people fear death but the girls don’t mind because. the grim reaper is literally their uncle and probably their godparent (although he probably does all in his power to make sure papas bnt don’t come back down early again)

— anyway. b+j and t+l had a double wedding, no freaking doubt about that; i mean their proposals were simultaneous so who’s to say their weddings weren’t. and they definitely booked the same honeymoon, just down the hall from each other

— bnt timelines are. funky at best but given what is established, we all know Something definitely happened during said honeymoon and nine months later the girls were born not too far apart

— as i said in my billie & ted HCs, in my head billie was born first (which i imagine stressed jo about her sister enough to induce Her) so the logans got a few hours to hang out with their beautiful baby + bill briefly got to meet his niece while he waited for his own daughter to be born

— i’ve also mentioned baby beanpole billie but for thea, i imagine she was on the opposite end of the spectrum, stout and chubby, if not more cherubic than her father (sidenote, think it’s adorable if the girls looked Just like papas bnt when They were babies. maybe with a touch more of femininity but still)

— i don’t think bnt can actually sing for shit (hence neither of them being the lead vocals for the band) but i feel like they can fake it until they make it and will sing to the girls to calm them down, even if it’s just the familiar sound of their voices that’s soothing

— totallyyyy not projection but. i think thea has adhd (so kinda. adhd/autism solidarity with billie, just like with their dads) and so at LEAST two years of her childhood were spent pretending she was a baby tiger (because i think thea the tiger is a cute nickname) and she still has a whole folder in her head of niche animal facts

— she and billie DEFINITELY watched the same. eight movies over and over again as kids. which eight specifically i need to think on. i think one was 1986 transformers because I Said So. oh and probably the goonies

will try to think of more later but i gots to go sbshjbshs

#pant rambles #bill and ted #billie logan #thea preston #ted theodore logan #bill s preston esquire #headcanons #sorry if these HC posts are annoying. my Brain is annoying

Linked Universe Zeldas:

My takes on LU style- Zelda’s. Note: I don’t really follow Linked Universe, and I don’t like a lot of their takes on the Links, so uh, don’t assume these Zelda’s dealt with the LU versions of the Links.

SS: goes by Hylia, she jokingly suggests it when they’re picking nicknames, and everyone else just pauses for a second then realises who exactly she is and freaks the fuck out, so it kinda sticks as a combination of an in-joke and just... well, she’s Hylia reborn, can’t argue with that! The others are all low-key taken aback by how not-leadery she is, she tends to be the most hands-off when it comes to planning because well- she just guards the triforce, Link is the one who earned all 3 pieces and used it’s full power. Meanwhile her descendants picked up Wisdom sometime in the intervening centuries, so she’s pretty happy to leave the plans to them and stick to being a mediator. Third most likely Zelda to pick a fight she can’t win, most likely to win despite that.

Minish Cap: goes by Shortie, bc these beanpoles tried that with Tetra and she threatened to stab them, but Minish just found it hilarious so it stuck. Surprisingly quick to pick up how to fight, occasionally gets the other Zelda’s into trouble by running off, but they usually agree with her that whatever caught her eye was actually pretty worth it, because deep down they’re all massive nerds, no matter how functional they appear. Also tends to randomly grab gifts for the other Zeldas.

Four Swords: just goes by Four, jokes about how much her Hero(es) would be annoyed by that. Usually the first to notice encroaching danger, and always the first to investigate it. At first the more combat-experienced Zelda’s were Concerned(tm) that she is the one sticking herself into unknown dangers, until she pointed out that A) she is considerably less likely to get herself caught unless Sheik wants to go, bc she knows she has less leeway to get caught than they are and B) they won’t be down a fighter for the rescue if she’s the one who gets caught, which they reluctantly concede.

OoT: goes by Regrets, which like, the other Zelda’s just hear her bitterly pick as soon as the topic comes up and immediately decide they aren’t touching that emotional baggage. It’s an mix of Child and Adult timeline Zelda, which kinda fucks her up when she thinks about it- especially seeing as she remebers both Ganondorf breaking free and killing one of the Seven Sages in the child timeline, and what became of the Hero of Time... who she remembers clinging to the thought he got to have the childhood he rightfully should’ve in the Adult Timeline, as the waves climbed up over Hyrule to seal the awakened and unchallenged Ganondorf. So yeah, she tries not to. She also remembers the start of the Defeat Timeline, where she was too late to save the Hero and was forced to lead the exhausted and scattered remains of her people to war to kill the Demon King.

Wind Waker: literally just Tetra, she also is the first to look at the less murder-happy Zeldas and give them a knife. She’s currently working on getting them all up to basic pirate crew levels of fighting without magic, just in case, and she’s constantly pestering the fight-y Zelda’s to a spar. Regrets goes along because she’s had three slightly different Zelda’s merged in her head so her skills are a little rusty, Hylia likes to do it just because people keep forgetting she learned to fight at the same school Link did, and their responses when she reminds them are funny to her. Tetra is picked up from after establishing New Hyrule, and she looks up to Hylia more than she’s willing to admit, often going to her for advice on the whole ‘founding a nation in peaceful cohabitation with the locals’ thing. Second most likely to start a fight she can’t win.

Spirit Tracks: goes by Ghost, refuses to explain the joke to any of the others and thinks she’s hilarious for it. She is, but she doesn’t need the ego stoke. They find out about the ghost thing when she accidently astral projects in her sleep at one point and wakes up to them freaking out over her corpse, which is implied to happen often. Tetra notices that she’s really really weird to train as a fighter, because she already fights pretty well but she also fights like she’s a giant fuck-off suit of armour with a sword as big as she is. She finds it amazing to get to meet Tetra, and is constantly asking her if various stories she heard as a child are actually true or if her mother just made them up or exaggerated. They were not, and Ghost thinks Tetra is the coolest person on the planet for it.

Twilight Princess: goes by Twilight, out of tribute to Midna’s nickname for her. Absolutely misses Midna, respects Regrets more than Regrets thinks she should, but she still angsts a lot about how she just surrendered to the unkillable army its implied she’s the only one who could even see properly who could turn them all into ghos- ahem. I may or may not have opinions about people thinking it’s the wrong decision from out of universe. But yeah, she absolutely angsts about it, and really looks up to Tetra and Regrets bc at least they acted, she just sat in her tower and waited for the hero she knew would be coming. Saying that though, she indulged Tetra’s pestering to fite exactly once (1), and promptly kicked her ass and went back to her book. Because really, what else was she going to do with all that free time while Link was fishing to win a Heart Container and she couldn’t leave her room? Ganondorf had to get the idea to have her use a sword somewhere.

FSA: Even among Zelda's, she stands out for how friendly she is- more than once she brought a ‘new friend’ back to camp who’d been trying to kill them seconds earlier. This got her the nickname Torch, because she shines light into even the darkest of creatures- although, Hylia would like it if she never interacted with any of the mini-Imprisoned from HW ever again please and thank you, that was a step too far for exotic pets.

(I’ll do a followup post for the Defeat Timeline, it has a lot of the older games I haven’t played and need to familiarise myself with the characters in, and it’s already getting late)

Hyrule Warriors: goes by Sheik, was unironically ready to fight her ancestor for the name, but Regrets doesn’t really care. Speaking of regrets, upon learning that Regrets did the exact same disguise in the Adult timeline, Sheik immediately wants to go stab Cia (and maybe Lana too) for letting her think she was getting away with the disguise when Cia had literally seen the exact same trick just one timeline over. (post post-game definitive edition, so Cia has her redemption arc) She also was never meant to be the bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom, and views it as a burden- without Cia’s interference, the Triforce of Wisdom and it’s visions would’ve been passively sitting in the royal vaults instead of etched into her hand, but fate got confused when the Triforce had been split, but the one who should inherit Wisdom was much better suited to Courage. This leads to a bit of a disconnect sometimes, where fate has changed her into a suitable host for the Triforce of Wisdom, but she just kinda isn’t one. She’s also a MASSIVE nerd (I saw those TP references in Linkle’s Twilight stage Nintendo! She literally started dropping random history quotes after almost dying, the nerd) so she’s constantly fangirling over all her famous ancestors, because if anyone had managed to hear legends from all 3 timelines, it would be HW Zelda. The most likely to pick a fight she can’t win, she literally only pretends to be functional and have impulse control when they’re in her Hyrule and her people can see her.

BOTW:

Both BoTW Zeldas avoid each other like the plague because yeah, that’s a physical manifestation of my failures. They’re not consolidated like OoT was for bonus angst- because just merging them would show her there’s a happier timeline where all of her friends survived and Hyrule didn’t fall and crumble to ruins while she and Link took a 100 year nap.

AoC: goes by Terrako, because why the hell not. Has Terrako with her, which gets confusing, but he’s an adorable Eggy Boi, and basically team mascot. Is using her Master Cycle+Sheikah Slate movesets, bc she tried to use her Goddess bow moveset and reality just kinda glitched bc there were two Zelda’s using the exact same power, and they both agreed to never try that again.

BoTW: goes by Architect, because that’s what she spends half her time doing these days. Regularly nerds out with Sheik. Low-key dying inside from self-worth issues rearing up again now that she’s hanging out with all these legendary queens, but tries not to let it show and keep with a positive attitude, too mixed results.

Doorway Duo pt.2

Pairing: Hybrid!Taehyung x Reader, Hybrid!Jungkook x Reader

Genre: Hybrid!BTS, Non idol AU, fluff

Warnings: Pregnancy

Summary: Y/n was abandoned by her long time boyfriend and moves back home to help prepare for the baby. She’s surprised to find two unfamiliar hybrids at her house.

Length: 2,456 words

Notes: Sorry for the long wait, this summer has been one disaster and tragedy (my grandpa, great grandma, and college friend have all passed) after another but I’m almost finished with part 3 so I’ll be posting that in the next couple of days.

Date posted: 7/26/2020

Pregnancy sucks. My back hurts and my feet are sore after just a few hours walking. Not to mention the overall discomfort of my body swelling up to accommodate the new human developing inside of it. Luckily I only have about three more months of this left and I could finally hold my baby boy. Yeah, Hobi was right. He claimed that it was his hybrid genes that made him privy to this information but Kook calls bullshit- he and Tae had been hoping it was a girl.

In the past two months of staying back home, I’ve seemed to bond super well with the two new hybrids. At first, it was easy to become friends with Tae, he was overly friendly and followed me around after our first-day meeting. Once my baby bump became prominent I could keep him away; he spent most of his waking hours cooing at my stomach. I had to work a bit harder to get Jungkook to open up to me and all it took was a few weeks of calling Taehyung his nickname. Apparently, he was just shy and wanted to be my friend also but he was jealous that Tae got to be called Tae. I called him Kook since then and all shyness flew out the door. He and Tae were both so energized all the time and both so caring. Today they insisted on accompanying me to the store because they didn’t want me to accidentally overwork myself. Hobi tagged along too, not wanting to be left behind at the house alone.

I was flanked by both Jungkook and Taehyung the moment we entered the store but this is something I've had to get used to. Another thing I’ve had to get used to is that Taehyung was very touchy. His hands are always in contact with some part of my body and today he had wrapped his arm around my waist and his fingers traced small circles into my side as we strolled down the aisles. Usually, I wasn’t someone who liked to be held all the time but with Tae, it never bothered me, it was actually comforting most of the time. Hobi strolled a few feet ahead of us while he was bickering with Taehyung over the chips that were tossed into the cart. The great chip debate happened every time we went to the store, Hoseok had a weird taste when it came to snacks and my other brothers and I had long gotten over it.

Jungkook was hovering on my right- so close that our knuckles brushed as we walked- his presence a constant that I’ve become accustomed to these last few weeks. He was back to his quiet guy persona, it probably would stay this way until we got home. Hobi thought it was funny when we went out in public together- said that Jungkook changes gear into high alert one I became a variable. It was hard for me to imagine him outside of the two versions of him that I knew, the quiet and shy versus the playful and relaxed. At home, Jungkook was the one to cajole me into chasing him throughout the house but whenever I turn a corner too fast he’s there with arms outstretched to catch me.

Taehyung too acted a bit differently when we went out, usually he was a bundle of energy and excitement that couldn’t be contained but in public, he seemed to change into a startling somber man who would then meld himself to my side once out the door. I guess this fed into his protective instincts as well. Tae was the one who was most concerned with my well being in the house. He responded to every grunt and whimper I’ve made since I’ve moved in. He forced me into weekly self-care nights and rushed to prevent me from overworking myself no matter the task. I would think that it was charming normally but because of him, I’ve been banned from dish duty after accidentally cutting my finger after moving in.

My parents had warned me that the three hybrids in the house might change a bit while the pregnancy developed but if I were uncomfortable then I should let them know right away. Hoseok was the same Hoseok as ever- a beam of sunshine in my monotonous life. He has spent increasingly more time outside of our house - going on dates with some mysterious guy. He has stopped teasing me a much this past week or two and instead teases Jungkook and Taehyung twice as much. Jungkook and Tae have obviously turned into my pseudo bodyguards and that can probably be chalked up to their hybrid instincts.

Why else would these two hang onto me so closely? I thought to myself as I focused on a sign for a buy one get one half off deal for oatmeal. Dad liked oats in the morning but there didn’t seem to be any of his favored cinnamon flavors. Taehyung suddenly ripped me out of my peaceful bubble by tugging me into his side abruptly. Jungkook stood in front of me while I could hear Hoseok apologize profusely. Both Taehyung and Jungkook had their faces twisted into scowls as they peered down at the man huddled on the floor. He looked familiar.

His curly blonde hair seemed to be what struck me with a name on the tip of my tongue. I couldn’t quite place him, how many blonde men did I know? Not many other than that Jimin guy Hobi brought around since high school. I couldn’t place him until he glanced over where I was peeking out over Jungkook’s shoulder. His eyes were blue, an icy pale blue that was the same color as his. This was Henry’s little brother. Was it Darren? Or maybe David? It was hard to recall as Henry was coles with his family. Especially after their parents divorced and He had been the only child to go live with his dad. I had only met David a few times over the almost six years we had been together.

“Y/n?” He asked, his eyes lighting up in recognition. Hobi- who was interrupted mid apology for ramming into him with the cart- looked back at me with inquisitive eyes. Taehyung tried to pull me closer to his side but this once I resisted and stepped from the overwhelming protection of the Duo.

“David? Last I saw you, you were a scrawny little beanpole.” I teased light-heartedly as I stood next to Hobi. David’s cheeks flushed as he stood up and straightened out his clothes.

“Uh, well, I grew up. It’s been three years so how’s it been going? Henry said you guys split up.” His eyes seemed to be glued to my stomach. My stomach was big, especially for how far along I was at only six months of my pregnancy but I was already passing the size of a watermelon. My hands came up to cradle my stomach.

I forced a smile, “Yeah, we did. It’s been about six months, I think? I’ve been doing good though.”

It was then that my blood ran cold. Rounding the corner behind David was the man I never wanted to see again. Henry. These last few months haven’t fully rid me of the sting of abandonment and no matter how much I’ve been coddled - it could never erase the pain and loneliness that I’ve had to overcome. I could feel my brother tense up beside and his threats to ‘rip out his throat’ came ringing in the back of my head. I calmly reached out and held onto his forearm gently.

Henry’s attention was fully focused on the bakery box in his hands and he only glanced up at his brother. He quickly did a double-take when he noticed that there were five looming figures instead of just the one. He skimmed over the group of strangers until he locked eyes with me. His feet took root and held him back a few feet away as he gawked.

“Baby? That's my baby?” he managed to choke out while his eyes bugged out of his head. David’s jaw dropped and suddenly, with both their gazes trained on me, I felt so much smaller than just a few moments ago. I could feel panic clawing at my throat as it rattled its way out of my chest at the sudden turn of events. That’s until a warm firm hand grasped onto my elbow as the familiar towering presence materialized behind me. Jungkook. His hold quelled my panic almost instantly. I fixed a terse smile at Henry, my face changing a calm disposition.

“No. You were right: there was no way it could be your baby.” I could feel the acid dripping from my lips as I forced a saccharine sweet smile at the asshole.

Henry’s face quickly snapped out of the shocked expression, almost as quickly as his face took on a reddened hue. “So you were a fucking whore and got knocked up by some hybrid? Should have known, your family is way too close to those fucking freaks.” He kept his eyes trained on Jungkook’s hand holding onto me.

“Oh, I knew you were a piece of shit the first time she brought you home.” Hoseok laughed unamused. He abandoned the cart only to stalk towards Henry, stopping with barely six inches left between the two. “The only thing keeping me from tearing you limb from limb right now is the fact that she begged me to, One more comment from your limp-dicked self will be more than enough to break my self-control. This is the last time you’ll ever speak to her or her children. Understood?” Henry nodded quickly with a face painted in fear.

Taehyung stepped forward and turned the cart around. Jungkook tugged me along and rubbed his hand on my arm in comfort. Tae swiped a few boxes of snack cake of the shelf as we hurried away and a sudden ringing sound of a slap rang out through the aisle. No-one turned around. As we approached the lines for check out I could hear the squeaking of Hobi’s sneakers as he ran to catch up with us. His hands replaced Jungkook’s as he tugged me into his chest.

He tucked my head under his chin and held me tightly, so tight that he managed to squeeze out the few tears I was managing to fight back. He only tightened his grasp as he pressed a kiss to the top of my head. He let go momentarily to wrench his wallet out of his back pocket so he could exchange it for keys from Jungkook. He pulled me out from under the judging stares of the cashiers and led me to the parking lot. As we neared the car he hugged me closer to his side so he could press his cheek against the top of my head.

“I’m sorry,” I whispered.

“No. I’m sorry I let you be with that asshole. I failed as a big brother.” he sighed despondently and I could feel the guilt twisting my stomach into knots.

“No, you’re the best one I got. I’m sorry he said that about you, I’ve never heard him say anything like that before. I love you Hobi, you’re my sunshine.” I cried as I held onto his shirt.

“I know you don’t think of me that way or the guys. I can remember you fighting punks like that at the park growing up. His dumbass will never affect how much I love my snot-nosed baby sister.” he pulled away and leveled me with a soft smile, forcing me to return one.

“Did you hit him? You could get in a lot of trouble.” I bit onto my lip as I imagined the terrible consequences. He could lose his job at the shelter. He could be marked aggressively by the government and taken away. He could be arrested.

His warm soft hands squished my cheeks as he made me face him. “Aw, is our little Y/n worried about her big brother? Don’t worry my princess, bubby didn’t hurt him. His brother slapped the socks off him. I was shocked.” His blinding smile finally returned and could hear a cart being pushed behind us. I turned to see Taehyung standing on the front of the cart with a big smile as he waved to us; Jungkook was running full speed at the handle of the cart.

I laughed at the two idiots as they barely managed to stop before crashing into my car. Taehyung’s hands flew forward to brace himself against the trunk. Jungkook laughed heartily as Taehyung started to yell at him for almost squishing him.

“Kook, are you driving us back?” I asked to save him from the snow leopard. He nodded as Hobi tossed him the keys. Kook popped the trunk while Hobi and Tae tossed in the few bags of groceries. Jungkook steered away from the cart and we all filed into the car wordlessly. I was in the passenger seat with Hobi behind me. There seemed to be a heavy curtain of silence surrounding us all.

“Taehyung, Jungkook, I’m sorry for what Henry said.” I pointedly kept my attention at the fast-changing scenery. They were both silent until I could feel hot breath against my neck. A chin rested on my shoulder while a nose pressed itself between my ear and jawline.

“Why are you sorry? Did you teach him to hate hybrids?” Tae’s deep voice was just barely louder than a whisper but it echoed in my heart. I whipped my head towards him, my eyebrows pinched together harshly, only to see the grin plastered on his face.

“You know I don’t think like that. Don’t tease me like that, I was apologizing because you guys don’t deserve to be spoken to like that. You’re people; kind, caring people.” I glared at him with no heat while his smile only widened.

“We do know, that’s why we weren’t mad. It's something that happens and we can’t help that we’re used to it. We were actually pissed at that asshat.” Jungkook harrumphed in agreement and I could feel the knot loosen in my stomach.

“I’ve been trying to join Team Hate Henry since we moved in and Hoseok hasn’t allowed it. I bet Namjoon will let us in now.” Jungkook smirked back at Hobi who squeaked in protest.

“Namjoon cannot know that we met with him. He would actually kill him.” I interjected, my fear helping me envision Joonie in an orange jumpsuit.

Jungkook side-eyed me before smirking at me, “ Would that be so bad?”

Tag list! just let me know if you want added.
