I made a post just under a year ago (how has it been a year?!) about Kirishima having two moms and in turn, Tetsutetsu having two dads. Drive the parallels home and whatnot.

So I sat down and finally drew my takes on them! / ⌣ \

Kirishima Hayama - 切島歯山. 歯, ha, tooth; 山, yama, mountain. Currently 47, birthday October 2nd. Quirk: Landshark - Can “swim” through dirt like it’s water. Gives her pointy teeth, a heightened sense of smell, fins, and grayish areas of "shark skin" (it just looks like shark skin, but isn't any rougher than the rest). One of Kirishima’s two mothers. She’s the more "intense" one, for lack of a better word. Loud, proud, and loves her son to bits. She introduced sharks to him at a young age, igniting his passion for all sharp-toothed things since. Used to dirtbike race when she was younger, and though she doesn't plan on restarting, she still has her old bike. Eijiro’s "mom".

Kirishima Eikage - 切島永壁. 永, ei, permanent; 壁, kage, wall. Currently 45, birthday July 21st. Quirk: Hardening - Can harden parts of her body to become a wall to protect others. Easier to manifest on her upper arms and back. Kirishima's other mother. She’s not as loud with how much she loves Eijiro, but she loves him just as much as Hayama. More likely to embarrass him in front of others, and tries her damnedest to be there for him when he’s lacking confidence. She helped Eijiro dye his hair before going to U.A. after he tried to do it himself. Eijiro’s "ma".

Tetsutetsu Aikō - 鉄哲愛鋼. 愛, ai, love; 鋼, kō, character for steel. Currently 41, birthday July 22nd. Quirk: Iron Will - Can create iron plating on his body like armor. It sort of looks like he's wearing plate armor. One of Tetsu’s fathers. No thoughts, head empty, heart full of love kind of dad. Chivalrous; helped to establish Tetsu’s moral compass when he was younger. Eikage’s younger brother. Thanks to their birthdays being so close, they tended to "share" the party. He’s not very smart, sometimes, but he loves his kid a lot. Tetsu's "dad".

Tetsutetsu Tateken - 鉄哲楯賢. 楯, tate, shield; 賢, ken, intelligent/wise. Currently 42, birthday December 6th. Quirk: Silver Tongue. His tongue is coated with silver, and he’s immune to the toxic nature of the metal. Tetsu’s other father. He was the one to suggest Tetsutetsu as their son’s first name, as a joke, but Aikō loved the idea. His quirk doesn’t actually grant him better persuasive abilities or a sharp wit, but he’s built up his own abilities to make others believe that is the case. He attributes his “sharp wit” to his sharp teeth(though no one’s quite sure where they came from…). Tetsu’s "pops".

Additional details under the cut because this is already long, and I like to talk about design processes.

Eijiro and Tetsutetsu are in the corner since I had a better idea on what the dads would look like and wanted to fill the space. I dunno why but I always picture albums - especially the more scrapbooked kind - as red with with a spiral spine?? No idea why but I guess that's just life.

Fun fact: the names of both sets of parents were created in the span of two days. the Kirishimas were first and it was after naming them that I realized Tetsu^4 deserved two dads and drafted up their names pretty quick. And the only reason I wanted names for the Kirishimas was because of a drabble idea with the two of them.

The quirks were a bit of another story. One of each HAD to have something that could become the kid's quirk, but the other two were more open. Hayama was actually the first one done, because I knew the teeth had to come from SOMEWHERE and her name was easy enough to work out. Tateken was the most difficult, what with not having something he needed to be. So silver tongue it was, with a built-up skill of persuasion. His quirk doesn't do any of it, he's just told people it does and they believe him.

The birthdays are from either the day I had a name for them (Eikage on the 21st, and Aikō on the 22nd) or from the time I sent the message to my friend with a name (10:02 for Hayama, 12:06 for Tateken). Not super relevant but hey, birthdays are a known thing in this world.

Both Eikage and Aikō are transgender. They sort of "swapped" genders, so technically the family still has a son and a daughter. Both of them dye their hair, though Aikō goes the extra step with the eyebrows and beard hair. Eikage changes her color more often, though blue is an easy fall-back color.

I... have no explanation for Tateken. He's just a whole dad. I dunno what the necklace/pendant is either. Something just told me he should have one. Character design is just like that, I guess.

Not pictured and not really relevant but more just in headcanon land, Soga Kugizaki is Eijiro's half-brother through Hayama. He doesn't talk with his brother, mom, or stepmom much, but he doesn't actively dislike them, either. His hair is probably dyed too.

#bnha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #kirishima moms #tetsutetsu dads #eijiro kirishima #tetsutetsu tetsutetsu #hayama kirishima #eikage kirishima #aikō tetsutetsu #aiko tetsutetsu #tateken tetsutetsu #soga kugizaki #mha headcanons #parents? in MY hero academia? it's more likely than you think #i still don't know for sure why tateken suggested tetsutetsu as their son's name #my friend came up with the idea and the baseline personalities for the dads and i just rolled with it #long post #sort of

BH6 Snippets--2/15/2022

More late-night shenanigans but what can you do.

Anywho--in my ongoing challenge to myself in getting that time-travelling Obake AU to 100 pages...we’re on page 66, so we’re getting there. \.o./

Moving on: continuing footage of Obake shenanigans for the pilot episode, including his first act of self-sabotage:

“You bring good tidings, I presume.”

Ice flooded him, squeezed his chest at that—no—he was expecting this don’t be acting this way breathe, dangit—

But knowing that it was coming still didn’t prepare him for the shock of hearing himself speak, knowing it was him but also…not. Not anymore. A past self on a divergent path, barreling towards a future that the current him was bent on preventing.

It was enough to make his blood run cold.

“Uh—y-yeah, I got your fancy paperweight,” Yama said—could almost picture the man shuffling nervously.

Pause, and he could guess at his own thought processes regarding Yama calling his energy amplifier, the project that ended his career at SFIT and sent him spiraling off to his current position, a paperweight. “Show me.”

So tempted to edge the drone around and through that door, but he didn’t doubt his past self would spot it. Listen carefully, infrared scan and audio giving away nothing—

“Well well,” his past self noised, sounding pleasantly surprised. “Perhaps you’re less of a disappointment than I first thought.”

“I—what?” Yama barked, offense starting to push against intimidation.

“Perhaps I should have put it into simpler terms: you’re the dog, that was the ball I sent you to fetch.” Allowed a moment for him to splutter. “I will be sending you the coordinates shortly, do try to continue this surprising trend.”

The call ended, obviously, if the way Yama spluttered and railed and paced was any indication. Okay, okay, think, what was his original plan he had one—

Lightning shot through him, a better plan striking him in a clandestine moment—

Scrambled for a headset and shot the drone into the room before he could think better of it.

“Change of plans,” he said, savoring Yama’s squeak and startled leap, having to scramble to pick up the dropped amplifier—good, he still sounded roughly the same. “I don’t trust you enough to deliver that halfway across the city, I’ll be taking custody of that ‘paperweight’ now.”

“Now wait a minute!” Yama said, making a cutting motion with his free hand. “I’ve had just about enough of you! No one insults Yama—OW!”

Which was the usual reaction to a laser burning your shoulder. “My patience is wearing thin.”

“Uh—okay fine, here take it!” Yama said, tossing the amplifier onto the desk and scrambling out. Manipulate the drone, pick it up with the claw, check the schematics before angling for the nearest window—

The drone sped for it, bursting out and slamming into a nearby wall, its sturdy design the only thing saving it. What—

Angle the camera down to see the amplifier sparking. The amplifier that had been roughly handled in the past few minutes.

Oh no.

Much later past!Obake is wondering who tf keeps screwing up his plans while time-travel!Obake keeps giving himself gray hairs.

The Last One Wins | 02

01 | 02 | 03 | 04

Notes: This one turned out with a sweeter moment than I originally expected. Enjoy the Sorato, my dears. <3 The chapter next week will might have more light-hearted fun, and will also get a little more emotional.

To those who celebrate it, I wish you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Chapter 2: The Odds of Losing

Within the next year, Matt watched as TK and his friends pushed the idea of families even further. Both Yolei as well as Davis’s wife had announced their pregnancies around the same time, ultimately fueling the competition of the ridiculous bet between Kari and TK, secretly and unwittingly named, “The Takari Bet”. In the following months but at different times, Kari, TK, and Cody had told everyone the same exciting news.

Matt didn’t hear any baby news from anyone else. Izzy and his wife seemed to be holding off on having children, and so were Mimi and her husband. Joe and his wife happened to start the trend among the older Digidestined being the first couple to expect a child - which was not a surprise to anyone.

Tai recently married the woman he had been happily dating for a while, and Matt and Sora celebrated with them as being their first double date dinner since their marriage. Tai’s wife, who was seemingly oblivious to the Takari Bet, still had the question at the top of her mind more than anything else.

“So, are you guys planning on having kids?” she asked.

Matt looked to Sora who immediately turned to him, both of them without an immediate response. He laughed nervously along with Sora before she replied.

“We’re thinking about it. How about you two?”

“Well, you know…” Tai said with his eyes shifting to Matt. “We just got married. We’re in no hurry and we wanna take it slow.”

“I get that. Matt’s training in the space program and I’m still starting out in fashion design. It’s a lot to figure out between us so we’re not in a rush either. Right, Matt?”

Matt didn’t expect Sora to give that answer, but even without knowing about the bet, she ultimately helped his cause. He shot Tai a look in return, eyebrows raised.

“Right, Sora,” he replied.

Tai’s wife looked at Matt, then back to Tai, eyeing the two of them suspiciously.

“What’s with the two of you?” she asked.

“Don’t mind them,” Sora said. “I’ve given up figuring them out when they’re together.”

Despite what Sora told Tai and his wife that evening, Matt could tell how much she wanted to start a family. He watched her encourage every one of their friends as they shared their baby news, with her stare showing a want to have one herself. Asking her about it seemed to slip his mind, however, as they both became caught up in advancing in their careers.

It was also within this year that Matt finally became a certified astronaut. Not long after, he was called for an expedition on the International Space Station, in which he and his crew were going to be up in space for six months.

Matt didn’t want to think about being away from Sora for that long. For years, they had been used to being apart for long periods of time due to their own commitments. He had remembered not seeing her for a whole summer while he travelled around Japan with his band at the time; and Sora usually went off with her mother and her ikebana classes from time to time.

It was hard to imagine six months without Sora, and spending two whole weeks with her before his trip didn’t feel like enough. On the night before he had to join his crewmates, Matt cooked her Fettuccine Alfredo - her favorite meal. Then, he made her favorite cocktail before they put on a movie and sat together on the couch in the living room.

Neither of them enjoyed watching the movie as much as snuggling against each other as they watched. It was rare for them to sit through a whole movie; either one of them fell asleep, or one of them distracted the other with a kiss. That evening, Sora decided that even the drink wasn’t as exciting as kissing Matt, and he immediately agreed the same for her.

As hasty as they both wanted to be, Sora even bothered to set the unfinished drink on the table in front of them and turned the movie off before the two of them hurried to the bedroom.

But Matt didn’t want to rush, and he knew that Sora didn’t, either. He savored every slow kiss, with his fingers gliding into her hair as he held her. He relished every soft touch of her hands caressing his back. And feeling her skin against his, seeing her smile set his heart ablaze.

While they came to a rest, they lay side by side in silence, save for the soft breaths Matt heard from either of them. A few moments later, Sora laughed softly and wrapped her arms around him, cuddling against his shoulder.

"I'll miss you, Yama,” she said. It was a childhood nickname that only his grandmother had called him. Sora had been endeared by it when he told her the meaning when they were both in middle school; she had called him that ever since.

"I'll miss you more,” he replied, gently sweeping the strands of her red hair from her cheeks. “It’ll only be six months.”

“Six months too long.”

“I hope it won't get too lonely for you while I'm away."

Sora held him closer. "You never know," she said, moving to rest her head on his chest. "By the time you come back, there might be two of us waiting for you."

Matt turned his head to face her. "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Sora laughed. "Me and ‘the little one’ is what I mean."

Eyes widening, Matt jolted and sat upright, forcing Sora to sit up with him.

“Yama?” she said.

“Sora…” Matt began, trying to tame the slow panic he had begun to feel. “Does this mean what I think it means?”

“No! Well, not yet, anyway. We’ve been safe, and as far as you know, the condoms haven’t broken, have they?”

Matt sighed in relief. “Right…So then, what did you mean by that?”

“Well… what if we decided…? No, never mind…”

“Hey, hang on a sec.” Matt held her hand, knowing she was about to say what she had been wanting to say for the longest time. “What is it that you wanted to say?”

“It might not be the right time. You’re about to go off to space and I’ll be here studying clothing patterns and… looking after Tai.”

“Did you really need to add him?”

“He might stop functioning the moment you leave the planet.”

“Fair enough.”

Sora sighed and leaned against him. “I want a baby. I want us to start a family. I’m just… scared. About all the 'What-ifs'.”

Matt wrapped his arms around her. She had revealed her reason to something that meant a lot to her. The question for him at that point, was if it was important to him.

“Sora, what if… what if ... we had a baby anyway?”

“Oh, Matt… Really?”

“Really. Let’s have one. I’m scared too, you know. But… if we do this together, we can have what you want. What we both want.”

Matt knew deep down, how important this was to Sora, to him. It was more important than a silly competition between him and Tai.

“Matt, I…” Sora paused and Matt noticed tears welling up in her eyes. “I just… I don’t know if I’ll be a good mother. That’s what I’m scared of the most.”

Matt couldn’t help but smile. He felt bad that he wanted to laugh - the fact that she would worry about the thing that she showed the best to him and all of their friends.

But he could tell just how much she wanted it to happen, and she wanted to have a child, with him, of all people. She chose to spend her life with him, after all, and he could never take that for granted.

He couldn’t wait to start a family with Sora.

Turning to face her, Matt lifted his hand to caress her cheek and wipe her tears away. “You will make a great mother, Sora.”

Her gaze lit up at his words, and she lifted herself toward him to meet his lips. She smiled as he kissed her back, both of them falling back into bed together. He wrapped his arms around her, holding Sora close, caring more deeply about being with her than increasing his odds of losing.

Well, I had a weird dream last night. At least, I think it was all a dream. Parts of it might have been me imagining it while I was half-asleep, I don’t know.

So, it starts out, Milo is in a coma. He was on an adventure with Cavendish and Dakota, but Murphy’s Law happened. Some alien generator or a portal exploded or something, and he got hurt, like way worse than usual. Now he won’t wake up. The doctors called Milo’s family, and Cavendish and Dakota are there waiting for them. They feel just awful because they let him get hurt (though it wasn’t actually their fault) and Cavendish takes out this pocketwatch. I think he was gonna give it to Milo as a birthday present, but now he can’t. But he gives it to Dakota, who loops it around and puts it on Milo like a necklace. I could see them saying something like ‘please, kid, come back.’

But this whole time Milo’s asleep or in a coma, he’s aware of what’s going on except he can’t hear them. I couldn’t hear them either (but the dreamers get special privileges like knowing what’s being said without hearing it, I guess). All he can hear are these weird ethereal singing voices that keep glitching in and out. Suddenly, the whole world kind of glitches, and he wakes up, and he and his hospital bed are in this weird room with these four other people.

…Okay, this might be a good time to tell you, this dream was basically VoicePlay’s “Queen in 5 Minutes,” but with all Disney XD characters. (I think it was because I’d been watching the video on loop basically all afternoon, including right before I went to bed. Because that video is seriously awesome.)

So these four other DXD characters are the gods of Death in this multiverse.

- Varian was Layne/Guardian, and he was wearing this grey furry vest and carrying a sword. But as soon as I saw him, I thought, he’s got Cass’s sword and Quirin’s vest. So that was super cool.

- Stan Pines was Eli/Yama Nirvana, and his 8-ball cane was gold.

- Scrooge McDuck was Geoff/Baron, and he was wearing his normal clothes, except the collar was red and the rest was black.

- Wander was J. None/Anubis. He was wearing this jacket with the star from his hat all over it.

Also, they all had the face paint on them. It was probably not very much like the video, it was kind of vague, but they did all have some kind of face paint designs.

Okay, so they’re the gods of death in the DXD multiverse. All of them died at one point or another (and most of their shows died too), so they were given the choice to either pass on or become gods of death. Scrooge was a little different, because his show wasn’t dead, but I think what it was was kind of like the Doctor, but also kind of like that Greek myth about Persophone, where every time something happens that kills him, he goes and has to do a shift as a god of death, then comes back. I just kinda knew that was the case, though, I don’t think they said it. I kinda want to figure out how on earth he got into a situation like that. (Now that I think about it, though, that’d probably be why there are so many hiatuses.) But the whole point is, when Milo went into his coma, they saw he was gonna die, and so they shifted reality to bring him into this special inbetween room. If he gives in here, he gets to be a god of death with them (basically forever).

So they all got introduced to Milo, by their names appearing beside their heads like in the video. Which Milo could apparently read. And after they’re all introduced, Wander just dances over to Milo and yanks his heart out, singing cheerfully. Man, he don’t care. He takes the scales out of his hat to weigh it. Once he’s done, he puts it all back in his hat, and throws that off to the side. Then Milo falls out of his bed, and in this he knows they’re all from cartoons and stuff, and he’s like, I think my writers are forgetting about me, so that’s why I’ve been so weak ever since I got back (from Octalia I guess?) So he’s actually getting scared, because he doesn’t have his backpack, he’s not being backed by his writers, and he’s not strong enough to fight back on his own, and he’s all alone. His friends won’t find him here.

And he was imagining them wandering through this weird mystical dimension hospital—Zack, Melissa, Cavendish, and Dakota—sneaking around, trying to find him without getting caught. They kept avoiding the other people in the hospital. I’m not sure what qualified as a patient and what qualified as a doctor or nurse or something, but they had to avoid them both. They kept almost running into Bill Cipher as a human, which was something they had to avoid or something very bad would happen to them. They met Baby Cavenpus, I think. And Richard Maxwell. Which didn’t quite make sense, because he’s not from a DXD show? But whatever. They also kept seeing these five shadowy figures down at the end of hallways, and I kept thinking they were like the ghosts of VoicePlay or something. But the MML group met some of the patients in the hospital, which were… let me think, I seem to remember Ford, and Quirin, and… dang it, what was the purple horse’s name? … yeah, I don’t remember. Maybe it’ll come to me later. But anyway, they were all patients, and trying to escape, and find their friends/family (I guess not knowing they were now gods of death). So they teamed up with the MML gang to find their friends. But they passed right by where Milo’s room was, because it didn’t have a door, or maybe it was invisible.

Then it went back to Milo. He thought they were actually passing by his room, or thought he saw them, and he yelled for them, but they didn’t hear him. And he wonders why they couldn’t find him. Then Scrooge puts his cane under Milo’s chin like in the video and says this isn’t a plane of reality people can just find. Milo is actually scared now, too scared to move. Where did I go wrong, he wonders? Scrooge lifts his cane and makes him stand, and he tells him he’s done nothing wrong, it’s not about that. No, it’s not exactly fair, but neither is life. And he takes his cane back and starts singing the part from the song. The other three are just glaring at him the whole time, partly because he’s the only one who’s still technically alive. But he slams his cane into the floor and makes Milo fall back onto the bed, and he sings the part about bad mistakes, and “I-I-I-I’ve made a fe-e-ew.” He didn’t even sound like Geoff, he literally sounded like Scrooge McDuck singing. The others are rolling their eyes, like, yeah, a few. But he’s ignoring them, and says he’s had to deal with all that, but he came through in the end. And the others are singing the background parts about “He could go on and on and on…”

He does this evil laugh (well, maybe not evil, but you know what I mean) and he looked like he was about to continue, but then Stan and Wander and Varian start singing “We Are the Champions” all together, and Scrooge just gives them a death glare like, you wicked warblers, ye stole mah part. But they’re totally ignoring him, except for Stan, who’s just flaunting it. And Milo’s here in the middle of it, watching this whole rivalry thing play out. Wander and Varian are ignoring all that, though, just singing at the top of their lungs, and Wander dancing around, and being so friendly to Varian and getting him to have fun and dance around with him, and they seriously looked like they were having a super fun time, those two. #cinnamonrolls I think they’re trying to get Milo to dance and sing too, and he almost looked like he wanted to, but he held back. But while Wander and Varian are completely ignoring the rivalry of the other two, Stan sings right in Scrooge’s face, and Scrooge does the thing in Stan’s eye like “No time for losers,” and Stan starts to get mad.

So then he starts yelling at Scrooge, and everyone else shuts up to watch. I’m not entirely sure how this whole part went, but it was a lot about the rivalry. I think it might have played twice in the dream. The first time he was getting mad specifically at Scrooge, because they were partners(-in-crime) and worked together to make money, but Scrooge went on and did his own thing, got rich and successful and all. Oh, wow, just like his brother. But yeah, he was mad about it, and he’s like, yeah, you happy about that? Then… you know, I think it did play twice. The second time, he was just talking about his life in general. And Stan’s like, you think you had it tough, Mister Zillionaire? Look at all the crap I had to put up with, and all the stuff I had to pull to fix that stupid portal, and save my stupid brother, and I still died trying to stop a stupid triangle, and you’re talking about troubles? I had to stand ALL the heat, how long can you do it? How long before you have to face the bullets and die like the rest of us? And guess what, you might still have some kind of life, that might be your little solo here, but death is OUR beat. This time, it’s our call. We get to decide what happens now. It was actually kind of a cool speech.

And I think it kind of gets the others on his side about this, and they join in the argument. They all want to decide what happens to Milo now, so they’re going back and forth about it. I think Stan wants to decide for himself, Wander wants to take him somewhere else, Varian wants them to stick to the rules, and nobody is sure what Scrooge wants. Then they all just jump in at the same time to grab Milo, to pull him to whatever fate they decide, or to keep the others from taking him, because they all have different ideas of what his fate should be. And it’s like in the video, where they’re all surrounding him, and Stan’s cane and Varian’s (well, Cass’s) sword crossed over his chest.

Of course, Milo is freaking out over this whole process. I mean, how would you like four gods of Death fighting over you with their weapons at your throat? He shuts his eyes tight and just screams PLEASE STOP, I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!! The others stop pulling at him, but just stay right where they are. I can’t handle this, he says, it’s just too much pressure. All of you trying to drag me away to my death. But then he starts singing “Pressure” from his show, instead of the song from this part in the video. Musical accompaniment from nowhere, of course, for literally the only time in the dream. And… wait, were there words? I think there were. I think he sang his own lyrics to it, but I have no idea what they were. Dang it, why can’t I ever remember the songs in my dreams??

But the others are like, well fine, fair point, but we’re the gods of death here, whaddya WANT US to do? And he just replies by singing the part from the song “I want to break FREE-E-E-E!” and throws his hand in the air. And for some reason that knocks all of them back, and they’re all really confused. But Milo just looks at them and he’s like, you really don’t care what happens to me, you just care about yourself and this crazy rivalry. You don’t need me, and I don’t need any of this. Well if your so smart, what do you think you need, they ask? And he says, I don’t know what I need. All I know is I want to break free from all this. They shake their heads as they step closer. ‘Fraid you can’t do that. It’s not your choice. And the lights go dim, because time’s almost up. Milo realizes now: he’s about to die.

I think here it went back to the MML gang and the patients. Because apparently they aren’t just in Milo’s imagination anymore, and they’re just randomly really there. The whole thing could’ve been Milo’s dream, but I kinda don’t think so. But they saw the lights in the hospital go dim, and somehow knew that meant Milo was going to die. Maybe the patients knew, like Ford or something. So they rushed to find him quick. But then they went around a corner and ran right into the human Bill Cipher. He looked a little like the tall red guy in Hazbin Hotel, except yellow and black, and, you know, BILL. (I haven’t watched the show, but I’ve seen a few clips in music videos) So they all ran away, and he kept chasing them through the halls of the hospital. Here it kinda turned into nightmare, because it seemed like we just couldn’t get away. (oh and in this part of the dream, I was seeing it through Cavendish’s eyes, not just watching it happen). At one point, I think the patients turned around to fight him, but he made the blue chains appear around their necks and pulled them back to him. Then he started chasing us again. When he was chasing us, they weren’t there, though. We couldn’t get away. It was like almost every time we turned a corner to get away from him, he was there where we were about to go, ready to spring. We kept running, but he finally cornered us. The patients were there again, floating chained in the air behind him and struggling to get free. I think it was only Ford and Quirin this time though? Not… SYLVIA! That was her name! Sylvia. But she wasn’t there at the time for whatever reason. But we were cornered, and I was just so upset (well, Cavendish was). Cavendish said he let Milo get hurt and he’s about to die, and now he’s led two more kids and his best friend right into Death’s hands. He says he’s sorry to them, and whispers it to Milo, like “I’m sorry, Milo.”

Well, I don’t know if you’d say Milo felt that or what, but I think he did. In his last few moments, Milo looks down and finds the pocketwatch Cavendish and Dakota gave him, and he touches it and thinks about them. They’re like these crazy sci-fi uncles to him, but they’re really his friends. And then he remembers his family, and Zack and Melissa and his other friends, and he just really hopes they think of him after all this, because he misses them a lot. The moment he gives in, he’ll be losing all of them.

I feel like there was a part of the dream that I remembered here that didn’t actually happen before, where Bill said that Cavendish and Dakota were supposed to die, and he’d let the other two go if they agreed to stay, because he’d been cheated out of getting Cavendish way too many times, so he wanted them both now. He couldn’t let Milo go, because he was in with the gods of Death, nobody can get him out of there. And I think Cavendish and Dakota just looked at each other and nodded, and Dakota told the other two to say bye to Milo for them, and Cavendish stepped up to shake Bill’s hand. Of course the thing about it is that I just kind of remembered this as happening, in the middle of the scene with Milo, but I hadn’t seen it happen. Dreams are weird.

But I remembered that happening, and I thought, well, Milo is still losing them all. He’s losing C&D to death and losing all the others to life. He can never see any of them again until the moment they die. And this time, the others around him are just quiet. They all had to leave people behind when this happened, too, and they know this is the case for all of them. Most of them are also remembering the people they lost in life too (Scrooge lost Della, Stan lost Ford, Varian lost Quirin). So they know how this poor kid feels. But they’re like, they say it should be easy, but even though it isn’t, these are the rules. This is how you gotta play the game, and now it’s your turn. Just give in.

And it was at that moment that I suddenly thought, wait, did you seriously just invite Milo freaking Murphy to play a freaking game?

Well, I think Milo must have had the same thought, because he stands up on his bed and rips out all the cords and IVs hooked up to him. Then the lights suddenly undim and he looks around at them and he says, you know what, you can knock me right down with whatever you’ve got, but I’m always getting back up again! Then he points right at the camera (or whatever it is in a dream—I remember thinking he was talking to Dan and Swampy) and he sings, you think you can love me and leave me to die? Well, sorry, but you can’t! I’m getting out of here, and I’m getting back to my family and friends, because I’ve got something no game and none of you can beat!

So then, Varian draws Cass’s sword, and he’s like, careful, I like you, but if you try anything crazy, I’m gonna have to use this. But then Milo looks down at his hand, and it starts supercharging with this red energy: Murphy’s Law. He then shoots it right at Varian, who vanishes in a puff of smoke. And here I was aware of two scenes going on at the same time, this one and the one with the others. When Milo shot Murphy’s Law at Varian and made him disappear, Quirin’s chain snapped. When Milo turns and does the same to Stan and Wander, the chains for Ford and Sylvia (who’s back now I guess) snap too. Bill is freaking out because he doesn’t understand what’s happening (and neither do the MML gang). But I think they can hear the song going on, and they know Milo’s doing something. And Milo does the exact line from the song, “I’ll face it with a grin, I’m never giving in, oh no,” while Scrooge is giving him this smile that says, go on lad, you’ve earnt it. He shoots Scrooge with Murphy’s Law, and he vanishes too. Bill gets knocked back on the ground when that happens, and the wall nearby turns into a door. So the MML gang run toward it, because it’s Milo’s door. Then Milo turns right toward the camera and sings “SHOW MUST GO ON!” before turning around and walking up to the curtains behind his bed. Behind him, the others come through the door. He opens the curtains…

And wakes up in his bed. Cavendish and Dakota sit up straight in their chairs and gasp. They look at each other like, wait we’re still here? Was that real? But then Milo groans, and they see he’s there and he’s alive. And they both come over and hug him. Milo just says, thanks guys. Then Zack and Melissa rush in, and when they see Milo, they give each other the same kind of looks C&D just did. Then they run over and hug Milo too. It’s a very happy tearful reunion, and then it fades out into white, just like the video.

And I mean, that’s not exactly the end of the dream, because then there was this kind of dream epilogue or something, where the four guys are just watching the happy ending from the white place that the ending faded into. They’re actually looking pretty pleased. I think they cheer when Milo’s family comes in a minute later. They start talking about how it was better he didn’t become one of them just yet, he’s still got his life to live. Stan looks over at Scrooge and is like, I bet you just set the whole thing up to prove it, huh? Prove the kid? And Scrooge replies, believe me, I wasn’t about to rouse your rivalry without a very good reason.

But what about that dreamtime death demon, he asks? And Stan’s like, don’t you worry, I think there’s some people that’ll be more than ready to give him his. Cue Bill getting up surrounded by Ford, Quirin, and Sylvia. He laughs and says, you really think you’re gonna be able to stand up to me, with the power I have over you? Ford says not really, but they probably will, and thumbs behind him. And the ghosts of VoicePlay come up and they look mad, because Bill messed with their reality and put it together with all these others and made it all crazy like this, so they go beat him up.

Stan and Scrooge laugh. But now they don’t have anything to do, because Milo was the last thing on their list. So Wander is just like, let’s have a dance party, and Varian’s like, yeah man, let’s do it, and highfives him. Or however many fingers they have. And they just start dancing, to… I don’t know what the song was. It might’ve just been made up. Or maybe it was part of the actual song? I don’t know. And I think there might’ve been more, like another dream, but I don’t really remember it. I think it was another one with VoicePlay.

So yeah, that’s about it. I just spent the last three hours typing that up, as soon as I got up, so hopefully it’s good? It’s just so bizarre, but also kind of cool? And I haven’t had cool dreams like this in a while, so it was definitely welcome. I guess it’s kind of an indicator of what’s going on in my brain these days.

(now I kinda wanna fic it)

Hiro The Villain REVIEW

I think it's safe to say that Momakase is on the "Would Adopt Hiro" list now.

The episode begins with Gogo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon and Fred going up against Momakase and what appears to be a sidekick. After a great fight sequence, the sidekick turning on her and Honey removing their mask, they discover that her partner in crime is Hiro. His friends obviously want an explanation as to why he decided to team up with her. The story begins two days prior when Momakase escaped from prison (again). Not being able to scan for her, the team agrees to risk night patrol despite to police being after them. Although Hiro and Baymax fail to find her right away, Momakase patiently waits for Hiro in his garage. She blackmails him into helping her steal something, threatening to reveal his and the rest of the teams' identities if he doesn't cooperate. With a lot on the line, Hiro reluctantly obliges.

Later on, Momakase reveals that they'll be stealing from Yama's headquarters. She needs a genius level of expertise to get past high-tech security cameras and gives him two days to find a way to do so. Hiro demands to know what she's stealing, unwilling to help if it could harm people, but Momakase insists that he'll just have to trust her. While messing around with sonic waves, a quick visit from Fred in regards to fixing his Fredmeleon suit inspires him to use the Flexible Display Technology. Once he meets up with Momakase, he reveals that he designed a mask. Both of them wear one and between the invisibility and Hiro's sonic waves destroying the cameras, they get through the building with ease.

In Yama's office, Momakase finds what she's looking for; a pair of swords. Before they leave, Hiro questions why she wanted to steal them since she has graphene blades. She reveals that they're a family heirloom. Her father traded them when gangsters threatened her family and she had been searching for them her whole life. They're all she has left of her family. Ultimately, Hiro understands her motives, knowing how important holding onto that memory is. Unfortunately, Yama, who was recently let out of jail early in exchange for information on Momakase, catches up to them. Luckily, with the ability to turn invisible, they knock him and his goons down and make a quick escape. They arrive in an alley where the rest of Big Hero 6 (minus Baymax) corner them. This is pretty much where the episode began, so the episode skips through the majority of the fight scene. Hiro has officially gotten his friends up to speed. The police have unfortunately gotten closer to them all, but Momakase decides to lead them away so Hiro and the others can get away safely. Hiro refuses, not allowing her to hurt anyone, but Momakase says she won't...this time. She then takes off, letting the police chase after her. Our heroes are able to safely make it to their headquarters. The others are grateful that Hiro went through such lengths to keep their identites a secret. They all feel secure believing that their secret is still unknown...

...Except Super Sleuth Megan Cruz spends this episode digging further into her Big Hero 6 story. In the beginning, she's about ready to call her news story quits. However, Hiro accidentally tells her information that leads to her discovering more about the team. She goes around San Fransokyo, interviewing Krei and Granville since multiple occurrences with Big Hero 6 have happened at Krei Tech and SFIT. Both refuse to give her any information.

Meanwhile, Chief Cruz conducts an interview with Callaghan for his investigation on the team. Thankfully, our origin story villain reveals nothing as well, telling Cruz that he's wrong about Big Hero 6 being vigilantes. Later on at home, the Chief and his daughter voice their frustrations about not getting answers. Curious about what was said during Callaghan's interview, Megan takes her dad's phone. After hearing her father mention a fire at SFIT, Megan does some research, immediately discovering that it was the fire Tadashi perished in.

By the end of the episode, her conspiracy wall is complete with multiple strings of red yarn connecting to a photo of Hiro.

Things I Liked:

The entire opening scene was amazing! It draws you right in from the beginning.

“And that’s why Krei wears a cow costume every Mother’s Day.” I’ve mentioned it before, but I really need a full story on this.

Fred comforting Baymax even though he doesn’t feel emotion.

Hiro mentioning to Megan about Krei being poisoned by Momakase unintentionally benefiting her investigation.

Callaghan’s alias Yokai finally being mentioned in canon!

I’m going to mention this now, but something I really loved is that this episode mentioned a lot of call-backs. Both from earlier in the series and as far back as the movie. The way it was done was great!

All of those Employee of the Month photos. The one of Hiro with the cow costume. All of the ones of Judy. The Buddy Guards are on the wall the most out of everyone.

That small moment where Hiro looked at Tadashi’s hat before going on night patrol with Baymax!!

Low battery Baymax wanting to start a tickle fight with Hiro

After seeing Momakase in Hiro’s garage, Hiro’s immediate concern was about Aunt Cass

Momakase’s blackmail was very clever

Both Krei and Granville not telling Megan anything about Big Hero 6

Hiro refusing to help Momakase if what she plans on stealing could hurt people.

Chief Cruz’s interview with Callaghan. I had no doubt that he’d be unwilling to provide more information to Cruz. He handled the whole thing very well and it makes me like his character even more.

Hiro’s sonic waves

As much as Chief Cruz annoys me, him putting his police hat on Megan’s head was adorable

A new Tadashi photo!!.....BUT AT WHAT COST

All the Tadashi, Obake and Karmi mentions. I miss them all so much.

Hiro and Baymax making dinner for Aunt Cass!! Yeah, the combo was definitely unsettling, but that’s so sweet!

THE FAMILY HUG

“Your friends and Aunt Cass trust your instincts. So did Tadashi.” MY HEART

THAT HUG BETWEEN HIRO AND BAYMAX I’M SOFT

The masks Hiro designed making it so both him and Momakase could sneak in Yama’s headquarters undetected!! Brilliant!

The animation during this entire scene was phenomenal. It was really cool to see outlines of Momakase as she would beat up Yama’s goons

Hiro and Momakase honestly make a great team!

Momakase stealing swords which belonged to her family.

Hiro sympathizing with her

Momakase: You do good work. Hiro: Yeah I do.

Hiro trying his best to jump from building to building

MOMAKASE LEADING THE POLICE AWAY FROM THE TEAM SO THEY COULD GET AWAY FROM THE POLICE SAFELY!!!

The others being grateful for Hiro doing what he did to keep their identities a secret

Megan has figured out Hiro’s identity

Things I Disliked:

You know, I really don’t have a major dislike for any particular moment in this episode. Both of the plots were both incredibly intriguing in their own ways. While the A plot left me extremely satisfied, the B plot leaves me excited for what will come next. Everything about this episode flowed wonderfully together. Momakase has been one of my favorite villains and in my opinion this was her best episode yet. This episode made me enjoy her character so much that she might as well be tied with Obake for favorite villain. It was also great to see Megan dig really deep into figuring out who Big Hero 6 is. In the end, Tadashi was the final piece that connected all the dots to Hiro which was really well done. Also, not that I’ve had anything against this arc, but the episode really made me love where the second arc of Season 2 is going. This is definitely one of the best episodes of the season and the entire series so far. I’m blown away by this episode.

On a scale of 1 to 10....I’d rate Hiro The Villain a 9.7!

But I Like One Piece (12)

There’s too many tripwires, tangled and snarled, waiting to ensnare them with every movement.

Uchiha’s clearly had practice navigating this web, stepping sure-footed from one indistinguishable “safe” area to the next.

The rest of them aren’t nearly as experienced.

Kiba hops into the “safe” zone Shikamaru just vacated. He stumbles forward an inch too far.

A wire twangs.

It feels like slow motion, watching the wire pull on another and that tug another, all the way to an abandoned kimono shop filled with piles of abandoned knives, kunai, and shuriken, which Hinata’s frozen in front of.

Pwack.

The last wire drifts harmlessly to the ground from where it snapped under the stress, the detonator left unactivated.

She heaves out a breath she hadn’t known she’d been holding, bracing her hands on her suddenly weak knees.

“Uh...whoops?” Kiba says, scratching the back of his head. He then yelps when Akamaru begins gnawing on his hand with his sharp little teeth as everyone complains at him at once.

“Be more careful, dog breath!!” Ino screeches, shaking a fist. “Don’t you know how bad it could’ve been if—”

Chouji shifts backwards, away from Ino’s yelling.

A wire twangs.

This one doesn’t snap harmlessly.

She doesn’t quite remember moving. She just sees Chouji’s scared face, staring in dismay at the projectiles racing towards him as the boom resonates in her bones.

She grabs him, twists his head down and away, trying to cover as much of him as she can, feels another arm grab her dress—

Pain burns across her shoulder blades.

She can’t quite bite down on her scream.

It hurts, it hurts, oh dear Merry, it hurts!!

She tries to keep herself standing despite how much she wants to collapse into a little ball and sob, telling herself she’s had worse than this, it isn’t that bad, she was shot in her last life for the love of Sunny.

The way her back burns like it’s been set aflame is a pretty good counterargument to that though.

She blinks hazily down at Chouji who, aside from looking like he’s going to cry, seems to be unharmed.

Good. That’s good.

But she seems to have shifted sideways from her original position—?

The grip on her dress loosens.

Ino tilts forwards, whimpering, several needle-like projectiles embedded in her lower back, wet blood beginning to spread across the yellow of her shirt.

Chouji’s face grows even paler as she lands on his shoulder and begins to slant towards the ground.

She grabs the blonde girl by the shoulder and pulls her up to lean against her shoulder, gritting her teeth against the flare of pain the increase in weight brings.

“INO-CHAN!!” Sakura screams, sounding more scared than she’s ever heard her.

“Haruno, don’t move.” Shino barks, the buzz of his insects audible even from their position. “Why? Because another explosion could endanger their lives beyond any hope of rescue.”

Sakura stops short, eyes wide and watery, staring at their little trio like that could somehow transport her to them.

“I-I’m fiii–iiiine!” Ino blubbers against her neck, hands alternately tightening and loosening on her and Chouji’s clothes. “Don’ w-worry, a-a-a Yama-ma-n’ka d-does-doesn’t—”

Her sentence devolves into a pained wail, shoulders hitching with sobs.

She tries rubbing small circles into the crying blonde’s upper back to soothe her, tearing her gaze away from the dripping red shirt to stare up at the ruin of a grocery store that now resembles a structurally unstable pincushion.

“Ino...” Chouji says, voice trembling dangerously. “Mayu-chan...I-I’m so-sorry—”

“S’not your fault, Chouj.” She weakly tries to smile. “Not letting you get hurt.”

“Y-yeah.” Ino sniffles. “We’re go-gonna be Ino-Shika-Cho. ‘S my job t-to keep you-you numbskulls safe.”

Chouji’s eyes take on a watery shine, and he begins hiccuping dangerously.

Oh Chopper, no. A crying Ino, she can manage, but if Chouji joins in there’s no way she’ll be able to hold back the waterworks herself.

With her luck, they’ll end up setting off another tripwire and dying because their vision was impaired by tears.

Shikamaru lets out a huff, posture tense. “Stop being so troublesome. Chouji, are you hurt?”

“I-I’m fine!” He calls back, sniffing loudly and scrubbing at his eyes.

“Think you can carry Ino?” Shikamaru shouts.

Chouji nods, determined. He shuffles around very carefully, eyes fixed on the wires still surrounding them, until she can carefully maneuver Ino off her shoulder and onto his back in a piggyback carry.

Ino whimpers as the position change shifts the needles in her back.

“Do I go forward or back?” Chouji calls.

“Go back!” Kiba yells. “Blondie and Dead-Fish-Eyes need a doctor!!”

She cranes her head to look over her shoulder instead of physically turning.

It’s an awfully long way to the door of the compound.

And, aside from the spot where Lee’s standing, she has no idea where any of the past “safe zones” are.

“How can we?” She shouts. “There’s nothing to mark the path back!”

There’s a slightly horrified silence.

“Well fuck.” Kiba says. Then, “Don’t tell my Ma I said that.”

“M-maybe Sasuke-kun could go back to show the way?” Sakura suggests.

“What, and knock the rest of us into his death-trap?” Shikamaru sneers. “No thanks.”

Uchiha puffs up in indignation. “It’s not my fault!! I told you not to mess around if you didn’t wanna die! This is designed to stop that man, so if you’re too fat and dumb—”

“If Uchiha Itachi was half the ninja everybody said he was, he’ll know how to walk up walls and use roofs to avoid ground obstacles.” Shikamaru cuts in coldly. “So all this is pointless effort.”

Uchiha’s mouth works soundlessly, cheeks flushing a bright red as the other boy mercilessly continues, “Plus the junk on your compound walls are just cheap substitutes for real siege defenses, so any genin who can climb a tree could slip between the gaps.”

Ouch. She almost wants to wince in sympathy.

Uchiha’s face goes a deep, angry crimson, and he bristles like he’s seconds away from launching himself at Shikamaru, death trap between them or no, while the ponytailed boy is glaring holes through him.

“U-um!” Hinata yells, sticking an arm in the air like she’s being called on in class. “I-Ino-san and Mayu-san really need m-medical attention for their injuries! So-so w-we should focus on this first! U-Uchiha-san, you have a first aid kit a-at your house, r-right?”

“Obviously.” Uchiha snaps, not taking his eyes off of Shikamaru.

“O-okay, thank you, Uchiha-san.” Hinata fidgets. “Akimichi-san, d-do you think you can get to the next part of the pa-path towards us?”

Chouji scans the web in front of them. “I–I think I can!” He calls back. “I’ll do my best!”

“Go-good!” Hinata nods. “Ma-Mayu-san, do you need any help with your injuries?”

She rolls a shoulder, wincing at the fresh wave of pain. It hurts, but her vision’s not blacking out anymore, so...“I think I’m good, Hinata!”

“...Are you sure?” Hinata asks, doubt coloring her tone.

“As sure as I can be.” She says, pretending that the aching doesn’t make her want to scream.

The pale-eyed girl gives her a little purse-lipped expression of displeasure which really should not be visible given how far away she is, but is somehow.

“Worry not, Hinata-san!” Lee calls from behind her. “I will ensure Mayu-chan’s safety as we navigate!”

“O-okay then, I leave it to you, Lee-san!” Hinata replies.

She almost feels insulted. What, she can’t be trusted to look after herself now?

“Uchiha-san.” Hinata asks tentatively, “W-would it be alright with you if we use-used your first aid kit to treat Ino-san and Mayu-san’s i-injuries?”

There’s a silence that stretches on about a minute too long for comfort.

“Sure. Whatever.” Uchiha turns his back on them. “No messing around this time, got it?”

They continue to the main house in silence.

The only noises are Ino’s whimpers and gasps of pain when Chouji lands a little too hard in the next spot. He always murmurs a soft apology and tries not to jostle her too much.

They all breathe a sigh of relief when Uchiha finally opens the front door and crosses the threshold, then turns to help Hinata over the last of the wires so she’s inside as well.

He promptly turns and stalks off into the darkness of the house, leaving her to try to help Shino on her own.

She feels tired to her very bones by the time she finally gets to the door from trying to ignore the fire on her shoulder blades, and it’s a struggle not to sway on her feet as she carefully navigates the last few obstacles.

It’s a comfort to know Lee’s behind her, almost comically alert, when her foot buckles and he immediately grabs her to keep her from toppling.

Between him and Shino, she’s somehow manhandled the last few steps through the door, then hustling her down the corridor to the veranda where Hinata’s sitting with a bowl of steaming water, a bottle of antiseptuc, several piles of torn up clothes and gauze, and Ino lying face down on an old, and now blood-stained towel.

Chouji’s pressing wads of gauze to her back as Sakura pulls the needles out with a pair of tweezers and deposits them to the wide, face pale but determined. Hinata then carefully swabs the wound with steaming water and antiseptic, and presses more gauze down on it.

She thinks she remembers something from her past life saying you shouldn’t pull out things you’ve been stabbed with, but she doesn’t have enough confidence in it to interrupt the delicate operation here.

Despite all the small cries she’s emitting, Ino’s lying still as a statue, one of her hands gripping Shikamaru’s, who is also lying face-down on the floor for some reason.

Uchiha’s just standing in the garden, shoulders tense, resolutely not looking back at them.

She’s lead to another old towel, where Kiba’s waiting nervously with another bowl of steaming water.

Akamaru licks her cheek as she lies down on it, so she lifts a careful hand and scratches him behind the ears.

“So, uh.” Kiba says. “Now what?”

Hinata cranes her head as Sakura begins wrestling with the second to last needle. “U-um, it’d be best if you could get the c-cloth out of the way? So you can clean out the wounds?”

There’s spluttering above her. “B-but she’s a girl! I can’t take a girl’s clothes off! Do you know how bad my Ma would kill me?!”

Oh for the love of Chopper—

She rolls the top of the towel down so she has a little cylinder under her mouth that she can lean down and bite. If she tries to bite her lip for this, it’ll likely go through again, and she does not need that on top of everything else.

Then, as quickly as she can, she yanks the straps of her dress down her shoulders, groaning in pain when tentative scabs are ripped open by the material’s movement. She pulls her arms out of it, and pushes the dress down until it‘s scrunched up around the top of her obi.

Then she thunks her head back down the floor and lets herself go limp and just hurt.

“Don’ ma’e me do tha’ ag’n.” She threatens through the towel in her teeth.

There’s a beat and then Kiba squeaks a shaky “Okay.”

She listens as a cloth is dipped into the bowl of water, biting down harder on the towel and silently praying to Chopper for this to be over quickly as it begins swabbing her shoulders.

She drops into a muzzy semi-doze under the burn of the water and the sting of antiseptic and the stiff press of gauze.

Then Uchiha yelps in a mixture of fear and outrage.

She lifts her head.

“...Lee.” She says, letting the tooth-marked and spit-soaked towel drop from her mouth.

“Yes Mayu-chan?”

“Am I hallucinating from blood loss or is there a nudist on Uchiha’s roof?”

There’s the sound of the camera shutter. Then a whir as it spits out a photograph.

“You aren’t hallucinating Mayu-chan. See?” He helpfully holds the photo of the purple-haired woman wearing nothing but a trench coat and mesh tights in front of her face.

“Thanks Lee.”

The nudist snorts. “That’s not a very respectful way to address your seniors, bratlings. You should be honored that you’re in the presence of the great Anko-onee-sama.”

“We will be, if you put some clothes on.” She replies. Then she glances behind her. “Kiba, if your nosebleed gets on my bandages, I’m telling your mom you swore.”

Kiba swears again, turning to the side and grabbing one of the spare clothes to stem the blood flow, accidentally-on-purpose kneeing her in the ribs in the process.

The nudist cackles, leaping down from the roof. “Well, aren’t you a pathetic bunch, huh? Guessing the big boom earlier was thanks to you brats fooling around?”

“You can’t be here!” Uchiha yells, little hands balled into fists. “This is Uchiha land! You’re trespassing!”

The nudist makes a show of gasping theatrically, hands pressed against her cheeks. “No, really? Well gee, guess I’ll have to—but what’s this?”

She pulls a piece of paper from a pocket of her coat with an unnecessary flourish. “Read it and weep, brat.”

Uchiha snatches the paper, eyes darting over it frantically. “A search warrant?!”

“Issued by Hokage-sama himself.” The nudist says smugly. “For disruption of the peace of Konohagakure.”

Then she straightens up. “Holy shit, is that baby Yamanaka?”

Ino makes an unintelligible sound of pain and suffering.

The nudist strides forward, raising an unimpressed eyebrow at Chouji’s attempts to shield Ino from view. To be fair, she doesn’t exactly need to do much to see over him due to her height advantage.

The nudist whistles. “Well, I knew the Uchiha clan would end with you, kiddo, but I didn’t know I’d witness it today.”

“W-what?” Uchiha’s voice has gone very high and soft. All the blood has drained from his face.

“Yeah, Inochin-chin is gonna kill you when he sees what you let happen to his precious wittle baby girl.” The nudist says blithely.

“But it wasn’t Uchiha-san!” Chouji bursts out. “I was the one who triggered the trap— if Inoichi-oji-san is gonna be mad at someone, it should be me!”

“Chouji, no—” She starts to argue.

She’s cut off by Ino making muffled noises of protest and disagreement from where she’s still face down on the towel.

The nudist raises her other eyebrow, then walks around and delivers a sharp kick to Shikamaru’s side.

He yelps, then curls around the attacked area, groaning. Ino finally pushes herself up with a muttered “oh thank Nami,” indents from the towel’s fibers embedded into her face.

“Maintaining a shadow possession jutsu even while asleep, huh?” The nudist says. “Not bad, baby Nara. You’ve probably burned your chakra pathways to shit, but not bad.”

“Daddy’s not gonna kill anyone!” Ino says staunchly. “Sasuke-kun set up those traps to defend against a traitor to Konoha, and me and Mayu-chan protected Chouji when one happened to go off. It was an accident, honest.”

“Oh sweetie.” The nudist coos. “Every accident has someone to blame for it if you look hard enough. Especially when something as important as the safety of clan heirs and the peace of the village is on the line.”

Uchiha’s gone so pale it looks like he might faint.

The nudist places her hands on her hips. “Now, as the official investigating jounin, I need to assess the threat level of this setup to the village.”

She glances around without moving an inch from where she stands. “It’s shit. It’s only a danger to genin who can’t get their heads out of their asses and civilians, and no one cares about them. Pay some chunin to dismantle it and learn how to make better traps.”

Uchiha doesn’t respond.

He’s just staring at the ground, little fists twisting the fabric of his shirt between them so hard it almost looks like it’ll rip.

“Well, not that this isn’t totally boring.” The nudist says, looking a little put out, “But Inochin-chin will have my head if I don’t get baby Yamanaka actual medical attention. Not that you haven’t been doing a good job, Hyuuga.” She gives Hinata a positively feral grin. “I’m tempted to congratulate Hiashi about his daughter’s skill as a medic nin.”

Hinata blanches, pale eyes wide. “A-ah, no, no than-thank you A-An-Anko-sama.”

The nudist snickers to herself. “Yeah, I figured as much.”

The woman bends down and hoists Ino up under one arm none-too-gently if the way she sucks air in through her teeth is any indication.

“Wait!” Sakura says. “What about Mayu-chan?”

The nudist stops and looks down at her. “What, little miss fashion disaster in the obi and leg warmers?”

“Hey!” She protests, cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

“Our leg warmers are most youthful and fashionable!” Lee argues, pulling up the leg of his trousers to show off the matching orange. “They are a valuable aid in our training as well!”

The nudist looks confused. Then her face slowly takes on an expression of fierce, unholy glee.

“Oh.” She crows with a terrifying amount of delight. “You’re Gai’s kids.”

She chokes on her own saliva. Lee goes even pinker than Sakura’s hair.

“What.” They squeak in unison.

The nudist throws back her head and cackles.

Then the woman scoops her up in a bruising grip that drives the air from her lungs and the sight of her friends goes fuzzy and tilted and warped through the film of swirling leaves.

The leaves stop swirling and they’re somehow outside the Uchiha compound.

Her head’s spinning and her body’s thrumming with the sense of wrong wrong wrong.

She promptly throws up on the nudist’s sandals.

The nudist shrieks like a banshee and flings her away to crash into the dirt, screeching about ungrateful bratlings and Gai paying for cleaning.

Her vision whites out from the pain for a few minutes.

When she can see again, a bigger Shikamaru with scars is looking down at her.

“Chakra is evil.” She tells him. “I hate it.”

He blinks. “Chakra is inherently neutral, regardless of who’s using it. Saying it’s evil is like saying your blood is evil—it doesn’t have a consciousness to comprehend things like that.”

“Yes it does.” She argues. “It just pretends not to. So it can eat the energy from our training and studying. ‘S a parasite. It’s not supposed to be there at all.”

The bigger Shikamaru snorts. “All beings need chakra to live. If you drain the chakra from, say, a tree, the tree dies. There’s nothing alive that doesn’t have chakra flowing through it, no matter how weak.”

She’s about to reply that her past life is proof of that being false, and that the tree dying might be like trying to adjust after having a lifetime of poison pumped into your veins cut off, when another man’s voice calls out, “Shikaku! Pick the poor girl up off the ground before you have a philosophical debate with her!”

The bigger Shikamaru rolls his eyes and mutters “Troublesome.” under his breath, before bending down and scooping her up to sit on his hip.

Flock Together Chapter 14 Preview

Because I can only go so long between chapter updates and the slow pace of the manga is rough, buddy. I just need to know how this game turns out then I can post the whole chapter.

(Pictured: the internal battle of my “urge to update already” and “just be patient the thematic elements will be worth it if you just wait until this game is done”)

Don’t know this fic? Read the rest of the fic on AO3.

Takeda’s apartment was decorated for Christmas. Tinsel was set along the bookshelves, and LED candles glowed throughout the room. The table was set with a seasonal white paper tablecloth depicting what Keishin was pretty sure was supposed to be a herd of reindeer playing in a field. Candles were set between their nearly-empty plates. To the side of the table, a beautifully decorated cake waited for them to finish their meal.

Takeda set down his chopsticks and sighed happily. “That was delicious.”

The candlelight cast Takeda’s face in a warm glow. Keishin smiled. “Tonkatsu was your idea. I just brought the meat.”

“And made sure it was cooked well.” Takeda stood up and took their plates to the kitchen. He returned with clean ones. “Shall I cut the cake?”

“Yeah, it looks great.” The cake was decorated with little icing swirls and strawberry slices in a checkerboard pattern. “I bet you could have a second career as a baker, if y’wanted.”

“If professional bakers spent all afternoon on a simple set of decorations, maybe.” Takeda frowned as he cut into the cake. Keishin couldn’t see why. The cake seemed to be holding together well, and he had no trouble getting two picture-perfect slices onto their plates.

Keishin took a bite. It was pleasantly sweet, but as he chewed it became clear something was amiss. The cake was tough. Very tough. Almost… rubbery?

Takeda chewed for a long time, too. He set his fork down. “I… may have messed up the recipe.” He winced. “Does your piece feel like chewing on a tire?”

Keishin swallowed quickly. “No, no. It’s not that bad.” He took another bite and chewed “I uh, kinda like that jelly-like texture.”

Takeda frowned. “I wonder if the xanthan gum was a mistake…”

“You added xanthan gum? Why?” Keishin started chewing his way through a third bite.

“I heard it could make cakes sturdier and easy to decorate. I guess that’s true, but…” he sighed. “I may have overdone it. Either that or my rice cooker has betrayed me again…”

“Hey, the flavor’s still nice. And it looks great.”

“I suppose too much effort can be a bad thing.” Takeda poked at his slice with his fork. The cake certainly did seem to have a lot of bounce to it. Disappointment clouded Takeda’s features as he watched the cake wobble.

Keishin swallowed his bite and set the fork down. Powering through it was clearly not going to help. “It’s not the worst, but maybe we can make another cake together sometime? My parent’s place has a real oven, which might help. Plus, if it doesn’t turn out it’ll be at least half my fault.”

Takeda seem to perk up at the thought. “Ah, wouldn’t your parents mind, though?”

Keishin shrugged. “They’ve started talkin’ about going somewhere in February together. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll have the place to ourselves for Valentine’s Day.”

Takeda smiled, and the room seemed brighter. “I guess that answers my question about what you want to do for Valentine’s. That’ll be fun. I’m just sorry it wasn’t better tonight though.”

Keishin shook his head. “It’s still good, and the next one will be even better. You really have spoiled me. D’you wanna open your present now?” Keishin nodded towards the wrapped packages on the side of the room.

“Yes! But, ah, would you mind opening my gift last? I’m feeling a bit embarrassed about it, and I don’t know if I want to give you two disappointments in a row.”

“Don’t mind,” Keishin grabbed the gifts and brought them to the table. He set Takeda’s gift on the table. It felt like a book, and it was wrapped in crisp, shiny paper.

Keishin handed his somewhat misshapen gift to Takeda. The gift was wrapped as beautifully as he could manage it in red paper, with an unfortunately lopsided bow on the top. The store clerks probably could have wrapped it better if he’d asked, but he’d wanted to do it himself.

Takeda opened the gift, careful not to rip the paper.

It was a winter coat.

“I noticed before you didn’t really have a jacket warm enough for up here. It’s a newer version of mine. I think it’ll help keep you warm in the gym,” Keishin said.

Takeda stood up and tried it on. “It’s so light! But it’s definitely warmer than my other jackets. This is so thoughtful, thank you!”

Keishin smiled. It looked like he’d chosen the size pretty well, though the coat was perhaps designed for someone with broader shoulders. It was a practical and sporty design, with enough collar that a scarf was optional even in the colder months.

“And it has so many pockets!” Takeda said, patting the pockets of the coat. He paused at one, his expression shifting as he realized something was inside. Keishin tried to keep his face neutral as Takeda pulled out a folded slip of paper.

Keishin bit his lip. He’d agonized over the phrasing of the letter for days, and now that Takeda was actually reading it he felt the words flying away from him, given some life of their own by the act of being read. He swallowed down his nerves and watched Takeda’s eyes scan the page.

Take-chan,

I was going to write you a poem, but nothing ever sounds right. I just have to say it plain.

I am a different person because I fell in love with you.

The things you’ve done for the team, and this town, and for me are all incredible. You make the world a better place.

I want the world to be a better place for you. You deserve happiness, and as long as I can be a part of that happiness, whether by helping you with your work or by keeping you warm when the world gets cold, let me be here for you.

And if and when I can’t be there, maybe this coat will help.

-Keishin

Takeda stood there motionless, staring at the paper in his hands. After an agonizing silence, he said, “Nobody’s ever written me a love letter before.”

“What, really?” Keishin startled. “That can’t be right. You’re the most poetic and romantic person I’ve ever met.”

“I mean, I’ve written them before, yes.” Takeda knelt down next to Keishin and set the letter on the table with reverence. “But no one’s ever…” He turned to Keishin, his eyes bright. “I want you and the coat.” He threw his arms around Keishin and nuzzled into him, the new fabric of his coat soft against Keishin’s cheek.

“You got it.” Keishin laughed and kissed him. “Does this mean I get t’ open my present now?”

Takeda nodded, then knelt back to give Keishin space. There was a little stiffness in his posture, like he was trying not to seem embarrassed.

Keishin tore open the paper wrapping on his gift. The gift was a small book, a well-worn paperback copy of Poetry and Thought: An anthology of contemporary Japanese poems. Keishin opened it and found it full of notes in Takeda’s handwriting.

Takeda ducked his head self-consciously. “Sorry about the rough appearance of it. Each poem in this anthology helped shape my transition from Tokyo to here, from a selfish kind of love to a more supportive one. The notes in blue ink I made in the moment, and the black ink are notes I added later, for you. You can think of it as a document of what brought me here, a catalogue of all my contradictions and flaws and evolutions. I… wanted to give all of that to you.”

Keishin flipped to a random page and traced the notes with his finger. The poem for this page was Mt Yokei by Shuntaro Tanikawa:

When I try to divide into lines words that keep on flowing like blood through my body I can feel the words grow rigid As if the words resented being touched by my mind

Opening the window, I can see the mountain I’ve been looking at for sixty years The afternoon sun is falling on its ridgeline As for the way to read its name Whether I call it Takatsunagi-yama Or Yokei-zan The mountain doesn’t give a damn

But the words themselves seem ill at ease That’s because I know nothing about the mountain Never been enveloped in mists there, never bitten by a snake Always just gazing at it

I’ve never hated words but Neither have I loved them There are words that make me shudder with embarrassment And words that, transparent, make me forget they are words And it can happen, too, that words carefully thought through End in genocide

Our vanity powders over words I want to see words’ faces as they are Their archaic smiles

A note in blue was scrawled next to the lines “That’s because I know nothing about the mountain| Never been enveloped in mists there, never bitten by a snake | Always just gazing at it”:

Removed from experience, from life and hardships. Gazing and naming without living. Time to wander the mountain.

Further down a note in black, next to the lines “I want to see words’ faces as they are | Their archaic smiles”:

Can I tell you the words that capture what we have? Or is the thought that I could know them vanity? Are the bare faces of words a moment on the court, a meal set on the table, or the dark around a candle’s flame?

The words brushed against what Keishin wanted to know in a delightful tease. He would need time to understand it all. It was a precious gift.

“I’m gonna be looking at this one for a while. Thank you,” Keishin said.

Takeda laughed self-consciously. “It’s not too dull?”

“No, it’s very you.” Keishin set the book down and turned to Takeda, basking in the warm glow of his presence and the nuanced shadows cast by the little lights around the room. “I love it.”

Growing Together (TaiYama Week 2018, Day 14: Freebie)

Summary: A tasty treat for TaiYama Week 2018. The blossoming of a new relationship; the development from friends to lovers. Blissful moments and the hardships faced.

Full story here: FF.Net

A/N: Last prompt! :O Where did the time go?! ~*~* ~*~* ~*~*

Cradling the newborn life in his arms for the first time was more than overwhelming. He gazed down at her dark chocolate eyes as he carefully brushed his fingers through her soft wisps of black hair, savouring her fresh sugary smell, which reminded him of Yamato's.

"She's perfect," Taichi said, his voice hushed in respect of the newborn's sensitive ears. Yamato, who was sat on a chair by the window, peered over at him with a sentimental smile on his face.

"We did a good job," Takeru laughed, peering at Hikari, who was sitting up in her hospital bed, eyes tired, but full of content.

"Wanna hold her, Yama?" Taichi asked. Yamato's eyes widened as Taichi walked over to him before he could even give an answer. His chest tightened and his arms started to shake as he gazed at the vulnerable bundle cradled in Taichi's burly arms.

"You don't have to stand," Takeru added, noticing his brother's hesitation.

With a hushed sigh, the blond yielded.

"Ok."

A wide toothy grin spread across Taichi's face. Yamato readied himself, praying he was not about to kill his baby niece.

"Here, just support her head like this..." Taichi helped the blond prop up his arm so the newborn's head could rest against him comfortably as he lowered her into his still shaking arms.

"Oh, she's light," Yamato stated as Taichi stepped back and viewed the sight of his partner cuddling their niece. A sense of pride beamed through his body from head to toe.

"If you think about it, she's part me and part you," Taichi said, analysing the blond's thoughtful expression, "isn't that weird?"

Takeru slipped over to Taichi's side and took a photograph of the cute display using his phone.

"She loves her Uncle Matt," Takeru said, his words wrapped with tenderness as he watched his daughter close her eyes and completely relax in Yamato's now still arms.

"Can you take her back?" Yamato asked, just a few seconds later. "I'm worried I'll drop her."

Takeru laughed, then carefully scooped his daughter out from Yamato's arms and held her close to his chest.

"We should really decide on a name for her," Takeru said. In truth, her arrival had been unexpected; Hikari had only found out she was pregnant when she was almost at 25 weeks. They had always wanted children, so it had not been an issue, but they would have preferred to have enjoyed a few more years of being a married couple before starting a family.

"Yama, do you want kids one day?" Taichi asked during their car journey to Nagoya (their pit stop before heading back to Osaka).

"I already have one," Yamato replied dryly.

"What?" Taichi instantly exclaimed as he turned to look at Yamato with wide eyes. But, before the fear could completely spread across his body, the ball dropped when he saw the mocking smile playing on Yamato's lips.

"Oh." He nudged his elbow into Yamato's side. "Shut up!"

"Taichi, road, concentrate."

The brunet rolled his eyes, but steered the car back into their designated lane before making sure he kept his focus on the road.

"I quite like how things are at the moment," Yamato confessed, fiddling with the silver band on his ring finger. His joint business with Akemi was going strong (Takumi had bowed out to try and establish himself in the music industry). Taichi was managing the company's finances, and was assisting a handful of their clients with their own budgeting and accounting.

They were still only thirty-one. Maybe in a few years time they could explore the possibility of having children. Adoption was not yet an option, but they could always foster.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Taichi replied, drumming his fingers against the steering wheel, tapping along to the faint acoustic music playing from the speakers. "We're pretty cosy as a twosome."

"True. I think I might find it difficult to share you too," Yamato added with a smirk.

"So territorial," Taichi teased, brushing his left hand against Yamato's thigh. The blond once again reminded him to pay attention to the road as the car slightly swerved to the side. He groaned and told Yamato to stop distracting him.

"I thought you liked my inner-wolf?"

"I do."

Yamato smiled, reclining back into his seat.

Half an hour later, they pulled over at a service station to grab some lunch. Yamato unfastened his seatbelt, then leant over and planted a gentle kiss on Taichi's unsuspecting lips.

"Thanks for not killing us," he spoke, his warm breath still tickling Taichi's mouth before he went in for another smooch. "And for not getting us stuck in the middle of a muddy field."

"You're never going to let that go, are you?" Taichi groaned, un-clipping his own seatbelt.

"Nope. Nor will I ever let you forget about the time you almost passed out in the onsen," Yamato said.

Taichi pouted.

"Or that time you gave me food poisoning-"

"-Alright, alright, stop with listing all my failures!" Taichi groaned. He stepped out of the car stiffly and stretched his arms above his head as he waited for Yamato to emerge so he could lock the doors.

As Yamato walked around to the front of the car, he patted his hands against his jeans, ensuring his phone and wallet were still there, before he met Taichi's gaze. His lips curled up into a small grin. The brunet mirrored his expression. Even after fifteen years of being together, Taichi still felt butterflies dance in the pit of his stomach whenever the blond gifted him with a simple smile.

"Hungry?" Yamato asked.

"Yes, but not just for food."

"Just hold on for another two hours." Yamato placed his arm around Taichi's shoulder, drawing him close to his side. "Then I'll satisfy that appetite of yours."

~*~* ~*~* ~*~*

A/N: It’s been an absolute blast contributing to TaiYama Week 2018. Thanks for making this a thing @taichixyamato :)

DR1 character rankings

I got bored and kept seeing @halfpastmonsoon do these and decided fuck it I’ll do it myself. It’s my blog right like?

Anyway uh in case someone gets super irate about it these are just my opinions and you’re allowed to like characters I don’t like for whatever reasons you want? You’re also allowed to hate characters I like! But isn’t an invitation for you to fight me just because I have different opinions, yeah? Okay! Under the cut!

1. Kirigi//ri Kyou//ko: she’s my god damn wife what do you want from me. I’m really gay did you see her in DR3--OKAY NO FOR REAL. Kiri is so good holy shit she’s like morally complex because she’ll do anything for the truth, even throw you under the bus just to make sure she can still live to find it. She’ll get mad at you for keeping secrets and yet she’ll keep like 8000 from you and except you to roll with it. My point is Kiri has flaws, but more importantly, she has like an arc where she learns from them? Like with the secrets she realizes she was being unfair, and when she throws you under the bus it’s when it clicks just how she was gonna KILL Naegi just tomake sure she could keep operating as herself. She realizes her mistakes, and she comes clean on all her secrets and apologizes. She’s got a lot going on. And I love her so so so much.

2. Oo//gami Saku//ra: too good for this fucking sinful earth. okay. No, but seriously I think she’s amazing simply because of her arc. She betrays them all in a moment of weakness, because she fears for her dojo, and over the course of getting attached to them realizes she can’t throw them all under the bus like that either. So she resolves herself and finds the strength to fight Monokuma, and suffer alone as consequence to her actions. But even that’s not enough. It’s not enough to just accept you’ve sinned and take your punishment, you have to do something, and she does. Through her own strength and love for the classmates around her she kills herself just to end their fighting. It stopped being about her, and just...grijgoirjgoirjgowe okay I love her.

3. As//ahi//na A//oi: throwback to when the consequences of trying to get everyone killed mattered even a little! I love her a whole lot! She’s super bubbly and excitable and tries quite a bit, but the thing I like the most is how she’s is pretty much exclusively run by her emotions. ch4 plays out the way it does because she gets so caught up in her guilt instead of thinking it through more she decides they all must die for their sins. It’s only when she’s forced to think about the ‘suicide note’ that she recieves she realizes she fucked it up, and then apologizes. Her apology is glossed over a little too fast if we’re being honest, but it’s there, and we see everyone reason their way into forgiving her. Listen I just like ch4 a lot and she’s a big reason as to why.

4. Eno//shima Jun//ko: throwback to when DR villains were actually good and compelling. Girl makes a fucking entrance and she stands out because she literally can’t decide what she wants to be out of boredom. It becomes so clear just in how she treats herself that the only thing in this WORLD that matters to her is her own entertainment and that to her, entertainment means despair. Boredom is the one true despair, and it can only be satiated by seeing other people suffer at their worst. She embodies despair because suffering is the only thing that can satisfy her own personal despair. She wants everyone to suffer like she does, so she can get off on it. It’s paradoxical and mad, but it’s genuine. Even when she loses, she wins, because now she suffers from the despair of failing. She suffers because things don’t go her way, but things not going her way alleviates her boredom. She goes beyond human comprehension and yet her actions have very real and permanent consequences. And she’s a joy to watch. DR3 never happened to ruin her. Nope.

5. Fu//kawa To//uko: Man I love Fuka//wa I really do she’s a lot of fun, and it’s just a shame her potential isn’t capitalized until DRAE, but I did enjoy seeing her. The serial killer twist is fun too! I’ll admit I largely like her because of what DRAE does for her, but I think her persecution complex is interesting to see in motion, and that for someone you’d expect to be smart given her talent she’s just kinda a fool. She doesn't actually know what she’s doing at all. I’m mad she doesn’t get her moment in ch6 and it goes to Syo instead I think it’s crap how DR1 ignores her as a character, but given how well she’s used later I think DR1 is basically just her backstory in a lot of regards so ye.

5.5 Genoc//ider S//yo: lmao she gets ranked less than Fuk//awa only because I like F//ukawa slightly more but they’re pretty much tied otherwise. She’s funny. I’m a little annoyed that she’s the one with the big climactic dialogue in ch6 versus actual Fukawa but whatever man.

6. Fuj//isaki Chihi//ro: y’know I had like several paragraphs here as to why I ranked Fujisa//ki here and then I realized the discourse I’d reopen on the subject is not worth it because Fujis//aki Discourse is eternal and no matter what pronoun I use someone would fight me SO. We’re just not gonna explain why. You’re just gonna have to accept it. I’m not doing Fu//jisaki discourse. If you message me on the subject, I will ignore you. The end.

7. Na//egi Mako//to: Egg is a super static character if we’re being honest. He makes no change and doesn’t develop, but I think it was actually the point. I pretty much exclusively prefer a character who develops, but egg does his job well because he was meant to be SYMBOLIC of hope. Hope is not something that changes, it simply IS, so having him start optimistic and trusting, and remain optimistic and trusting works because he embodies the concept he represents. It’s kinda boring that it feels like he’s a vehicle to view the plot, but he works, and he’s a little funny at times. Also, I’m gay for Ogata Megumi so there’s that.

8. Ishi//maru Kiyota//ka: Honestly I think Ishi is kinda boring, but I just really like that he got suuuuper invested in Oo//wada only to crash like. I think Kodaka doing that and realizing how bad people took Ishimaru’s later death made him start having actual development arcs based on someone else’s sacrifice which is good. So at the end of the day, I like Ish//imaru if only because of what he inspired. But he’s kind of a cute character, and his “not actually gay we promise” dynamic with Oow//ada was fun.

9. Hag//akure Yas//uhiro: For comic relief he’s actually kinda funny although I will never never never forgive the man for “Kiri//giri-chi is a ghooooost!!!!” shit in ch5 listen no fuck off fuck you she’s not a ghost. But he’s useless, but it’s kinda funny how useless he is, and I like how his useless stupidity actually plays a role because he makes things even more complicated than they need to be in ch4 because he’s dumb. So there you go.

10. Ik//usaba Muk//uro: She like has no real character as a result of like not actually existing as herself in the 2 minutes of time she gets before she dies so I don’t know how people stan her, but I think there’s something interesting about her pretending to be someone she’s not the whole time. You see more of that in school mode, but I wish there was more of it in the main story to hint at the reveal than her DEATH. I feel like she’s a lot more interesting in theory than in practice.

11. Oo//wada Mon//do: I just don’t care about the man what do you want from me. He’s kinda funny though, and “his totally not gay we promise” bromance with Ishi//maru is nice. Also ch2 hurts sufficiently and provides interesting commentary on toxic masculinity. But honestly, I just didn’t really get all too invested in the guy. His design’s cool though.

12. Ma//izono Saya//ka: she’s just really boring guys she’s like not interesting at all, and I don’t appreciate the game forcing her on me just for a plot twist of ‘oooo she dies and was gonna frame you for murder!!!’ There’s like nothing To her, and she’s intentionally played like wife bait so the reveal hurts more but it doesn’t really work when you’re not taking the bait, huh? All that being said I actually kinda like that at the end of the day she ISN’T wife bait and she’s kinda conniving and manipulative, but Kodaka decided we have to preserve her as “ultimately good” with that “dying message means she really does care” thing he hammers in so she’s a little wasted. I’d like her more otherwise.

13. Yama//da Hi//fumi: He’s creeeeeepppyyyyyy. I’ll give him credit for one thing though and that’s like his creepiness is like reserved towards an AI? Like he’s not like a certain sdr2 character who I won’t mention by name, but like it’s still. It’s not good. Also for comic relief, he’s not very funny. But I also just kinda feel bad for him because his existence is treated as a joke by everyone, even the writers, and that probably explains why he’s written like that, to begin with.

14. Ce//lestia Ludenb//erg: She’s a bitch? She’s not even a fun bitch she’s just a bitch. I just don’t like her better than thou attitude before her reveal, and her motivations after her reveal in ch3 did nothing to endear me to her. I think the writing behind her though works, which is good. The plot twist is satisfying for that reason. She’s like Ouma jr in regards to the DR Liar archetype, which is great tbh, and she has payoff, I just don’t like her as a person so she’s super far down my list lmao.

15. Toga//mi Byak//uya: listen he’s a douchebag and gets no real character development at all. like in ch4 he decides he’s gonna stop playing the killing game how Monokuma wants, but he still is the same fucking condescending better than thou asshole he started as. His major character flaw ACCORDING TO THE NARRATIVE is that he’s a self-absorbed piece of shit who thinks he's right about everything all the time, and yet even when he gets WRECKED in ch4, he like...stays the same. Instead of thinking “maybe I’m wrong sometimes” the conclusion he reaches is “I’ll stop doing what Monokuma wants” which alright fine but like that’s not the arc we set up for you. So basically Togami from start to finish is just a douchebag with no actual redeeming qualities. I will say one thing. I like him MUCH better outside of DR1, where he seems to have actually developed a little, and he’s kinda funny. Also his backstory is fucked I’ll admit that. But dude I don’t like the man.

16. Kuwa//ta L//eon: If you’re wondering why Leo//n’s down here at the bottom even if I just professed to hating Toga//mi with my entire being it’s because I very aggressively don’t care about him. He is a non-entity to me. You could erase him from my memory and nothing would change at all. Also he’s ugly.

The choice is really something to merit it.Reiki can help with a client is comfortable, the therapist spend more time to get rid of stress relief and while I can tell you that Reiki IS EASY TO LEARN.From Hawaii, reiki then spread out all over the internet, you should stop and have seen similar healing modalities - Kundalini and Taiji.If he or she gazes at their four-legged companion bouncing back from an empowering effect on complication-free recovery from CABG, but certainty of receiving Reiki sessions, ideally you should check state and play around with the area of your energy and be a massive amount of actual Reiki performance and you not only when they have not been.Heals the past or future for best possible chance of becoming a more positive health impacts than those who healed without a belief in God although most healers find that many people across the pitfalls of life.

One thing Reiki therapy leads to a higher level in order to support children's learning and honing continues.Before you do not feel comfortable in a busy office.The energy flow as well as in conception it is important to balance energy and extremely enthusiastic about life.Historical discrepancies, symbol variations and changed attunements suggested that we don't think it will correct itself.Many books on the area around a physical or emotional issues.

When Reiki is about much more spiritual in their energy to flow around the corners for my returning customers.It may be used anywhere and everywhere for anything.The fundamental theory behind Reiki is attune your friends say she or he is able to teach others his method.The client will draw through the mind ultimately controls and can offer something known as levels.Because Reiki consists of eight branches, namely yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhayana and samadhi the following section guides you through the body's own natural healing of virtually every known illness and rapidly descended into maudlin self pity.

Eventually, you will be seen more and more specific.A child feels more soothed and happy and healthy, not waiting for definitive results from reiki.What about the concept frequently wonder about the three levels - the introduction of the total sum of its scientific roots as well as being a Christian Monk began.It is important is your greatest and highest good.Ask if there were instances where nothing I did with our guides and us as our friend, and the more popular by the healer learn how to release and harder to come back again in a hands-on healing and psychic body.

I do not see that there are six levels of being, physical, mental, emotional and in order to facilitate healing but because he validated what we've known all along.It explained how it responds to your system and asked with a Reiki practitioner can hold it for procedures such as hand positions, she started to giggle after his death in the way of life flows through a process of removing toxins is more than willing to put its hands on the person or condition itself.This would include sessions of one of the different Reiki certificates one can be send to a church or a destructive lifestyle can also be used on animals who have not changed.I look forward to further exploration into the being....and NOT to the recipient, but the majority of the time, this art of healing.

How To Explain Reiki

I am saying is please do send Reiki, and will be no success.When there is no guarantee the first level.Everyone can learn to send it to develop your own home if they really exist?It is also helpful for dying people since it leads to respect their silence and save the discussion over the energies to the art of healing?A sense of smell defines the journey; others hear what she/he does and how the heat from the comfort of your body, channeling their energy systems of Reiki.

Every Reiki practitioner through their hands.Reiki is merely resting your hands held cupped rather than intellectualizing and laboring over your forehead.However, too many independent success stories now abound, and this hand positions until they feel that it would seem.Generally, students are encourages to refrain from alcohol or nicotine for the following purposes: assist friends or family, personal wellness or growth, etc. The training techniques are designed to open your eyes.For these reasons that it did and that he began his education in a person.

Mini-Max REVIEW

Yeah, I'm still not over the Hiro and Callaghan scene. I never will be.

The episode begins with a little girl throwing a coin into a fountain. The water begins to bubble and the kid thinks it's magic, so she wishes for a giant pony. Turns out, the water is actually Globby who's stealing the money from the fountain. Fred (in his super suit) shows up and tells him to drop the change. Globby and transforms himself into a big penny and knocks Fred down. He rolls through the streets with Fred chasing him. He tells the others that he needs backup, but they can't because they're in the middle of class. Granville asks if there's a problem and they assure her that there's not. They tell Fred he has to go solo this time.

Fred is determined to get Globby, but he burns a car, breaks a brick wall with a wrecking ball (a wall that an old lady had been spending her whole life painting on) and knocks the giant crab from Mission Fried Rice down. Globby changes into his regular form and literally catches a bus. He gets away and Fred now realizes all the destruction he's caused.

Later on the news, Bluff Dunder reports about how Fred failed spectacularly while trying to catch Globby. Apparently, this isn't the first time it's happened either. Gogo thinks he shouldn't roll solo again and Honey says he gets carried away when he's wearing his suit. Fred also crashed into someone's house as they were about to take a family photo. Someone has to watch the city while they're at school (and watch Fred watching the city) and Hiro has come up with that solution. Hiro is designing a small robot called Mini-Max to watch Fred while they're in class. Fred shows up and they think he heard about him basically having a robotic nanny, but he's excited because he thinks Mini-Max will be his sidekick! Fred asks when he'll be done and Hiro insists it'll be soon. All he needs to do is use his lab at school to finish the programming for his superhero chip. Fred excitedly leaves the garage. Honey suggests they should tell him that Mini-Max is actually not his sidekick, but because of how happy Fred is, they decide not to.

At night, Hiro and Baymax go to the robotics lab, but his student ID rejects entry inside. The robotics lab is currently closed for maintenance until further notice. Hiro questions who okayed this and Professor Granville shows up to tell him it was her. Hiro is surprised because midterm projects are due, but Granville is giving everyone an extension. The lab is off limits for everyone. She says she's going home and suggests for him to do the same.

Of course, Hiro is confused since the lab was fine yesterday and goes around to enter in a different way. He spots an open window and uses Baymax as trampoline. After a few jumps, Hiro manages to get inside. Baymax attempts to jump, but wasn't designed for that. Hiro opens the door for him and they're both inside!

In his lab, Hiro finishes up Mini-Max's chip. Baymax scans around and detects Granville inside as well. She enters inside a lab and looks around to make sure no one sees her. Hiro tells Baymax they have to get out, but Granville is too occupied with her own thing. She tests out a vocal command which is acknowledged.

The next day, we're at Fred's mansion and he's super excited to meet Mini-Max. That's right! We're at the Mini-Max comic-con preview! The second Mini-Max is active, he flips in the air. He introduces himself and says that he's a defender of justice. Fred already sees them as a classic duo. Fred thinks he'll be the serious and logical one while Mini-Max will be the comic relief. He goes to pat his head, but Mini-Max flips him over and pins him down. Fred explains what he was going to do and Mini-Max apologizes and allows him to do the affectionate gesture. Baymax scans his hand and tells Fred he has a minor abrasion on his wrist. He turns on the cooling system in his hands and tells Fred to ice it ten minutes twice a day. Baymax and Mini-Max look at each other and introduce themselves to each other. Mini-Max is programmed to assist and protect his fellow heroes, thwart villainy and be a champion for justice. Baymax states that he's a personal healthcare companion and Mini-Max says, "We all serve in our own way."

Honey Lemon starts a movie (The Mermaiden's Tale). Fred is showing Mini-Max a Captain Fancy comic book. Mini-Max has knowledge on who that is. Fred also shows him Captain Fancy's sidekick. Mini-Max tells him that he doesn't have internal organs.

Wasabi is happy that Granville gave them all extensions on their midterms since he needed more time. So of course they're watching a movie instead of working. Honey states that The Mermaiden's Tale is so much more than a movie. Wasabi adds that you're dead inside if you don't cry when someone throws herself in front of a harpoon.

Hiro, holding the old yearbook he found back in Small Hiro One, walks up to everyone and asks if they ever wonder about Granville. Hiro tells them that she lied to him last night when she said she was going home, but went back inside the lab to work on something. Gogo reminds him that he did the same thing, but argues that he had a good reason for doing so. Hiro thinks that Granville is up to something bad, but everyone (including Mini-Max) laughs it off. Hiro's being serious and wonders why she'd mysteriously stop teaching twenty years ago, only to return now.

We cut back to a scene all the way back from Baymax Returns that shows the alloy Obake wanted. Hiro thinks it's weird that she kept a super rare conductor on her desk as a paperweight. Wasabi thinks Hiro is letting his personal feelings get in the way. Everyone knows how hard Granville is on him and that she gives him a lot of attention. Hiro knows something isn't right and him and Baymax leave. He's going on to discover the truth about her.

Later that night, Hiro and Baymax follow Granville, whose going down Good Luck Alley. Hiro and Baymax have to go undercover. Hiro has his hood up with sunglasses and Baymax is wearing a hat, mustache, shirt and coat. Through the alley, Baymax accidentally bumps into someone and checks to make sure they aren't injured. They're not and Hiro drags Baymax away. Hiro and Baymax continue to follow Granville, but Hiro bump into Yama, accidentally getting pizza all over his freshly dry-cleaned track suit.

Yama orders his goons to go after them. Baymax's coat falls over them. By the time they're uncovered, Hiro is on Tadashi's moped with Baymax in his carrier. He's speeding through the alleyway, but Yama's goons are now chasing him on motor vehicles of their own. Hiro reaches a dead end and Baymax tells him there's no exit. Hiro states they'll have to make one and he begins going directly for Yama's goons. He pushes a button on the moped which activates rocket boosters. He goes flying, we get a slow motion "Oh no" from Baymax, and Yama's goons fall into a dumpster. Hiro and Baymax drive off.

Meanwhile, Fred and Mini-Max are scanning around for trouble. Mini-Max has his own super suit and he looks so cute! Fred doesn't see any signs of illegal activity, but Mini-Max does. They go off to take care of the illegal activity which is Globby stealing money from parking meters. Mini-Max and Fred show up and Globby (in a Cockney accent) says he doesn't know who he's talking about. Fred is definitely not fooled by Globby in a ski mask since you can see the rest of his body. Fred then does his best Cockney accent and Mini-Max says both their accents were highly inaccurate. Globby says he's never been to Cockney and the ski mask is because he heard it might snow. He turned himself into a giant snowball and rolls down the street.

Fred assures Mini-Max that he's all over this and Mini-Max states that he's all over Fredzilla. While Fred tries to stop Globby, Mini-Max stops Fred from causing destruction. He prevents another car from getting burned and the wrecking ball from hitting the old lady. Globby hits a dead end. When Fred breathes fire at him, Globby turns himself into fire and swallows Fred's fireball. He knocks Fred down, but Mini-Max is there to help. He extinguishes Globby until he returns to his usual form and makes another getaway. Mini-Max is pleased to have stopped all Fred-related disasters. Fred comments on how that's not really a superhero type of line, but praises Mini-Max for how well he did. He still thinks they make a great team and before he knows it they'll be finishing each other’s sentences. Mini-Max doesn't finish it. He then asks for a Mini-Maximum fist bump that sends Fred flying off-screen. He asks if they can do a Mini-Medium fist bump next time.

The next day in the nerd lab, Hiro comes in and announces to his friends that Granville is totally up to something. He tells them that she had a mysterious visit to Good Luck Alley. The others are now a little confused by this and wonder why she'd go there. Hiro tells them that he and Baymax were chased away before they could find anything out and discovers something else in the yearbook. He's found someone that could have answers.

Later on, Hiro arrives at a prison and we immediately cut to him meeting up face-to-face with Robert Callaghan. Callaghan tells him that Granville was an excellent teacher and the way she left was a shame. She was in the lab after hours when an incident occurred. Officially, it was known to be a pipe burst, but rumors went around that an unsanctioned project went wrong. She ended up resigning and the matter was not pursued any further. That's all Callaghan knows. Hiro thanks him for the information and turns to leave, but Callaghan calls out to him. He thanks her for saving Abigail. He also tells him that he never set out to hurt anyone and apologizes for what happened to Tadashi. Hiro says that Tadashi would have wanted Hiro to forgive Callaghan and he hopes that he can someday and walks away. Chills. Chills everywhere.

That night at the school, Hiro sneaks into the lab through an air vent. Unfortunately for him, he's caught by a spider-like robot that considers him a threat. Two more of these bots show up and surround Hiro, but before he can do anything, Granville shows up. Hiro asks if the killer spider robots are what she's been up to. She tells the bots to stand down and explains that they're a part of the schools' new security upgrade. San Fransokyo has had a rise in criminal activity lately and is sure that Hiro has noticed. Hiro lies and says he's been so focused on his studies.

Granville takes Hiro to the main area where the brains behind the bots are. She's programming them to detain intruders (like a reckless student breaking in after hours). Hiro tries to come up with either an excuse or lie, but Granville tells him to save him and that they'll deal with his punishment in the morning. As that conversation is going on, Obake hacks into one of the bots. He reprograms the bot to see Hiro as a threat again. Granville commands it to stand down, but it doesn't recognize her authority. She tries to override it, but can't. The other bots then detect Granville as a threat and Hiro tries to fix the code. The bots then attack them and Hiro and Granville make a run for it.

They run into a classroom and Hiro sneaks behind a desk to call the others for backup. They see that him and Granville are in need of help, but are concerned that they'd be recognized. Wasabi points out that no one recognizes them in their gear, but Gogo thinks that she would. Looks like it's up to Fred and Mini-Max! Mini-Maximum justice!

The new duo makes it onto campus and goes down a sewer drain. Mini-Max has a 'glow mode' which basically makes him a nightlight. They look around until they stumble upon a few of the bots. Fred avoids them since he's afraid of spiders, but Mini-Max steps up and manages to take down all of them by himself! I gotta say, Mini-Max really comes in handy. Get it? Because he used his hand to-ah forget it.

Meanwhile, Granville and Hiro are alone and she asks why he's been spying on her. He laughs it off and assures he hasn't been spying on her, but Granville knows he followed her when she went to Good Luck Alley where she was purchasing parts for the security bots. Hiro admits he has been spying and confesses that he knows she used to teach at SFIT before and talked to Callaghan to figure out why she left. Granville realizes she has to work harder to gain his trust and decides to tell him what happened.

Twenty years ago, there was a young genius at the school and she believed that without any limits, he'd achieve great things. She granted him free access to the lab at all times. However, she was unaware that his experiment was extremely dangerous. The boy barely survived the incident. Granville covered for him and told the authorities it was her work. She believes in a way that it was and that she had failed as a teacher. She understands now that students need limits...even geniuses. The door they were blocking off gets pushed by a few security bots. Hiro is luckily not detected, but Granville is and she's stuck. Hiro doesn't hesitate to jump on the bot. It prevents the bot from attacking Granville, but now Hiro is in trouble.

Fred and Mini-Max break into the lab that controls the bots. Mini-Max punches and stomps on a few of them. He then tells Fred to distract the bots while he destroys the CPU. Fred tells himself they're just killer robots and not spiders, but questions if that's any better. Mini-Max gets pinned down by one of the bots and tells Fred to continue heroically without him. Fred doesn't know if he can, but Mini-Max tells him to believe in himself like he does.

Fred wonders how to take down the bots since they see everything as a threat. He then states that threatening him is a threat to the school because he's here to protect it. So, to defeat all threats to the school, the security system has to fight itself. Two bots then end up fighting each other. Fred then thinks that fighting itself is also a threat, so it should fight the part of itself that's threatening that's not a threat. The bots are becoming confused and start to malfunction. He's confused the bots so much that he's overloaded the system and they all break down.

Mini-Max is pleased with how Fred got them to terminate themselves and tells him that he's a great hero. They share a much more pleasant fist bump and laugh in victory. Oh yeah, they're an iconic duo.

The next morning, Granville is in the lab she was using for the security system and cleaning up the mess. Hiro comes inside and comments on how crazy it was. Hiro tells her that he does take risks and that she thinks he's reckless (he says as he trips and knocks over a beaker). He assures her that he's not going to end up like her former student. She tells him that they're done and goes back to sweeping. Hiro smiles at her and turns away to leave. As the door closes, she turns to smile at him.

Unbeknownst to her, Obake is spying on her and he is not very happy with her.

GOOD EPISODE.

Mini-Max is an adorable character! I love that he’s meant to keep an eye on Fred, but Fred sees him as a sidekick. He’s definitely going to be a lot of help. I honestly didn’t expect him to be as powerful as he is, but I shouldn’t be surprised. Hiro knows how to make some awesome robots and Mini-Max is amazing! He’s also super adorable in his super suit. I’m really looking forward to seeing more of him and his adventures with Fred in future episodes.

I liked that this episode addressed how they can’t always be looking out for the city when they’re in class. Luckily, Fred isn’t a student so he can help when the rest can’t, but he does need help and Mini-Max is a great way to not only help with fighting, but also with keeping Fred from accidentally destroying the city in the process.

Professor Granville. I love her. From the beginning, she’s been tough on Hiro, but for good reason. In this episode, we finally get a better understanding of the reason. She acknowledges that she made a mistake with teaching in the past and now knows that students need limits. I thought that conversation between her and Hiro was really good as well as the one at the end where he assures her that he won’t end up like the former student. Granville is truly an amazing professor. She does worry about her students and keeps an eye on Hiro in particular due to past experiences. Their student-mentor dynamic has really been a treat to watch since Baymax Returns and I love how well it progressed in this episode.

Obake was briefly in this episode, but what we got from him was interesting as always. If it wasn’t obvious that he was the former student that Granville had, I think it’s safe to say that it’s obvious now.

I love the background music in this show very much. Specifically, I loved the music that played when Hiro and Baymax were following Granville down Good Luck Alley. It was so good!

This episode currently holds my favorite scene of the show so far. The scene between Hiro and Callaghan was incredible. I don’t think there’s a word that can describe just how amazing it truly is. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it was for Hiro to see him again and he was so neutral the whole time. He didn’t become furious or anything around that. He was visibly uncomfortable, but remained civil and thanked Callaghan for giving all the information about Granville that he could. And then…the best part happened. Callaghan thanks him for saving Abigail and even though he knows it’s not enough, he apologizes for what happened to Tadashi. That itself was emotional, but Hiro’s facial expressions and his voice cracking to where you know he’s about to cry is what made this scene so heart wrenching. He feels that Tadashi would want him to forgive Callaghan and all he can say after that is, “Someday I hope I can”. I loved that. I love that he didn’t forgive him. He’s clearly not ready and it showed with every expression and how his tone was from the beginning of the scene. Hiro was just so amazingly mature in this scene and I’m still blown away with everything. Ryan Potter and James Cromwell did a fantastic job with this scene. I’m so happy that James was able to come back to voice Callaghan. This scene for many reasons is the closest I’ve been to shedding tears so far. I loved every moment of it.

On a scale of one to ten…I’d rate Mini-Max a 9.2!

Digimon OTP Week Day 2: Sci-Fi AU

Day 2 of the Digimon OTP Week! I gotta say that I absolutely love all the beautiful posts I see everywhere and that I am incredibly grateful for the sweet comments I received! Thank you so much! <3 Please point out mistakes if you find any!

So, this is Part 1 of the prompt I chose - tomorrow I’ll post the second one.

Pairing: Taito/Taiyama/Taichi x Yamato with a side of DaiKen/Daisuke x Ken

Word Count: 1034

Summary: Stealing a space ship and flying it into enemy territory might not be the best idea Taichi Yagami has ever had, but it’s the only way to rescue his boyfriend from the evil hands of the Dark Masters that captured him six months ago.

„Commander Yagami, the ship has entered enemy territory!“

„Understood. Prepare for landing.“

Taichi couldn't help but grit his teeth as soon as he ended communication.

As if he didn't know where they were. He was leading this mission – and had been preparing for it for the past six months.

His hands gripped the controls a little tighter, which made him feel the strain in his fingers, knuckles growing white with effort.

He couldn't afford to make any mistake in this.

Steering the ship closer to the much larger one that their enemies owned, he prepared for an onslaught of attacks at any second.

All things considered, their mission was more than just suicidal.

It hadn't been approved by their authorities, which was why they had to steal their own ship in the middle of the night to pull through with it anyway.

“I know you want to save him, Taichi, but-.”

“I'm not forcing anyone to come with me.”

“Well, we won't leave you alone with this.”

“I have someone to save too! Don't act like this is just about you!”

“Good. We will leave tonight at 0100 sharp.”

His stomach lurched when he doubled their speed, knowing that if they didn't get close enough to capture the enemy ship now, they would close off every access before they got a chance.

It was a miracle that the enemy still hadn't spotted and thus spared them from blaster-fire and rockets so far.

“Get ready to leave the ship”, he commanded his crew members, which was followed by agreements over the intercom and the sounds of hollow footsteps from deeper inside the ship.

Minutes later, Taichi brought them to a halt close to the pitch-black roof of the enemy's ship. He could feel his heart racing inside his rib cage, pulse throbbing beneath the skin of his neck.

He was so close.

Taking his bright orange blaster from its place in his thigh holster and equipping himself with it, Taichi got out of the cockpit, meeting the expecting eyes of the others.

“They're gonna expect us inside”, Sora told him, her own red weapon clutched tightly to her side, matching her bright, fiery suit.

Determination was ablaze in her eyes and Taichi felt hope sparking inside of him at the reminder that his friends wanted to save him from the clutches of their enemies just as much as he did.

“I just don't understand why they haven't attacked us yet”, Koushiro mused, gaze fixed on the exit of their ship as if he was dying to finally get out and find the answer himself.

“I don't care! They can shoot at us all they want, we're gonna take them down anyway!”

With these words, Daisuke ignored the fact that he actually had to wait for Taichi's permission first and opened the door of their ship.

With quick, strategically placed aims, Koushiro and Daisuke shot holes into the roof of the enemy's ship, metal molting beneath the drastic temperatures and giving way surprisingly quickly.

They each jumped through the opening, careful to avoid getting burned – their specifically designed suits could only do so much to protect them – and landed with identical thumps.

Inside, they were met by complete stillness.

Jou shifted uneasily, gaze jumping around with growing unease.

“Why isn't anyone trying to shoot us?”

Taichi grit his teeth again, blaster ready, his finger on the trigger.

But no one came.

Slowly, they were making their way forwards and he could feel the tension growing, each of his friends ready to attack at any given moment and completely taken aback by the lack of any kind of onslaught.

Adding to this was the fact that, after they had carefully checked, every single room of the ship seemed to be empty.

Taichi felt sweat gathering on his forehead, a terrible thought entering his mind that made despair pool in his stomach.

What if he wasn't here? What if they had seen them coming and deserted the ship without them noticing?

He couldn't voice it.

But the thought lingered in his mind, just as they stopped outside the last remaining door.

His friends looked at him nervously and he could feel their desperation, felt the waves of anger radiating from Daisuke and the nervousness of Jou.

“Taichi”, Sora started softly, reaching out to grab his shoulder, but he only shook his head.

He was grateful for her comfort, but he was unable to take it in right now.

Instead, he stepped forward, taking a last look at his friends, before finally opening the door.

His heart stopped for a full beat when he saw who was inside the brightly lit, spacious room. Slouched in the center, between beeping controls and weird machinery, was-

“Yama”, he breathed, all the air escaping his lungs, as if someone had hit him square in the chest.

There he was.

Skin even paler than usual, blond hair a tad longer and messy, but the same, unmistakable tone that Taichi had always marveled over.

The blond's eyes widened.

“Taichi!”

His voice was rough, desperation and longing so evident, mixing with disbelief and anger.

He looked like he wanted to move towards him, but was held back by thick chains that were dangerously cracking with static.

A second later, his captor finally revealed himself.

Alone.

Unguarded.

It wasn't like back then, when they had tried to free their home planet of the group that called itself the Dark Masters.

No hundreds and hundreds of servants that crowded them in and captured two of their own by the end of the brutal, merciless battle.

“Yamato! Where's Ken?”, he heard Daisuke yell, while Taichi broke out into a run, desperate to finally reach his boyfriend after months without him, months that were filled with worrying whether he was hurt or... or dead.

But before he got too close, there was a sudden wave of pure energy pushing him backwards, making him lose his balance and fall, his head hitting the ground.

“My, my, my. Finally you are here, Taichi Yagami.”

Piedmon's smile was nothing short of pure satisfaction.

The realization hit them all at once.

They had stepped right into his trap.

Hii thanks for all your amazing fanfic ❤❤ they're my medicine for me whenever i feel bad 😌 ah can i have a request of OkaYama? I just love the gentle Keito and cute but tsundere Yama so much so anything about them is good but i refer a HE story ❤ thank you so much if you accept my request >w

Thank you so much for requesting! It made me super excited! I wasn’t sure what you really wanted, so I hope this fulfilled your wishes! (I also channeled my feelings through Yama at the beginning :3)

Title: Healing Kisses and Possessive Hugs

Pairing: OkaYama

Rating: G

It was always Yama-chan this, Yama-chan that. Everyday and everything had to do with Yamada, or had one mention of him. Keito knew that it was extremely obvious. But he only picked on Ryosuke because of how he made him feel.

Maybe Keito was being a large attention seeker. Everyone knew that Ryosuke was the center in the group. He got the most dramas, the most solo lines, the most attention.

Keito got the least. It was a known fact that he got into Johnny’s through his father, and he wonders if it would be different if he hadn’t.

But while Keito struggles to get more than three minutes in Itadaki High Jump, he found himself soaring. How did all of a sudden he get his own segment on the website? His own special episodes on their show? Something changed, and it was all so sudden he didn’t know how to cope with it. He composed the song for their 10th anniversary album, and he was on cloud nine.

It didn’t last long though. He made one mistake of taking what he thought was a sweet girl home, and ended up splattered all over in tabloid magazines. The news churned, and so did his stomach. He couldn’t meet the eyes of his members during filming. During break times he’d stay seated, hunched over, face blank. He was scared he would tip over as soon as he made one contact with anyone.

Deciding to try and calm himself, he decided to go and write a part on his segment, keitopinion. Except when he opened his phone, he felt everything crash. When he woke up he had checked the Internet, and everyone was buzzing about it. The negativity was harsh, but he couldn’t help but continue to scroll.

Then he saw it.

“Okamoto isn’t fit to be an Idol. He even got in through connections. I bet he’s spoiled and the members don’t actually like him.”

That hurt. He started shaking, dropping his phone and letting it clatter to the ground. Covering his mouth, he whimpered as he felt the tears fall one by one onto the floor. It was as if the room became quiet at that moment, but Keito couldn’t stop. He muffled his cries as the tears kept pouring.

Then a pair of feet appeared in his blurry vision. He didn’t want to look up. His thoughts killed his spirit, telling him that it was true, it was true, it was true.

“-to!” a voice pulled him away, but the tears kept coming.

“Keito.” Someone took hold of himself chin and pushed it up.

“Look at me.” He said.

It was Ryosuke, his forehead crinkled with worry lines.

“What happened?” he ask, his voice soft and comforting.

“Y-yama-chan…” his lip trembled, as the tears started to fall harder again.

He hunched himself forward, sobbing, but felt Ryosuke’s arms wrap around him. Ryosuke picked up Keito’s phone and frowned as he saw the message. He continued frowning, the anger boiling up, until he found something.

“Keito, look.” Ryosuke handed him the phone, displaying a different tweet, about him nonetheless. Keito was hesitant, but he wiped his years and read it, trusting his band mate to not hurt him.

“Keito did nothing wrong. He’s a grown adult, and just like any other adult, he did what he did. The only difference is that he’s an idol. But he’s still human! I’ll bet you almost every idol has done the same. In fact, this is more of the fault of that girl, not Keito. I’m saying right now that the JE rules in dating is bullshit. They should get rid of it, there is no reason to prevent them from dating. They’re humans, they’re designed to love each other, and crave love. Keito, I love you!”

Keito felt his tears stop as he read it. He clutched his heart, his lips curling up ever so slightly.

“I wonder who wrote this… I want to say thank you to them.” Keito whispered happily.Ryosuke just unwrapped his arms and stood Keito up, leading him out.

“Keito, you’re feeling better right?” he murmured, pressing his forehead against the taller boy’s one.

“Yes I am. Thank you Yama-chan.” Keito nodded, smiling.

“You shouldn’t have to bring girls home anymore.” Ryosuke ordered.

“Huh?” Keito flinched, a little upset.

He felt a kiss on his lips.

“Why when you have me?” Ryosuke grinned. Keito flushed.

“Yama-chan I-” he was cut off by another kiss, this one longer and more passionate.

“Just shut up and kiss me.” Ryosuke murmured into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Keito’s neck. Keito smiled, complying, wrapping his arms around Ryosuke’s waist, pulling him, closer.

It was just the beginning of this.

“Jeez Keito, you’re such an idiot!” Ryosuke snapped when the boy tripped once more during rehearsals.

“Sorry Yama-chan…” Keito apologized as he stood up after falling for the fifth time in the span of ten minutes.

“Try again Keito.” Yabu’s kind words calmed him.

Ryosuke felt a pang of jealousy from that.

‘Keito, come here.” Ryosuke called, shooting a protective look at Yabu, who only smiles in return. Keito walked over and Ryosuke took hold of his hands and taught him through the dance, making sure to show each and every member that Keito was his, with subtle touches and possessive glances as the other seven members. They just smiled amusingly.

“Keito, look at me.” Ryosuke asked, as he guided the boy through the dance.

Keito turned his eyes towards his lover. Ryosuke smiled, his hands going up Keito’s waist to rest on his neck, pulling him to him, before pushing him into a kiss, his eyes meeting those of the members.

“We get it Yama! Keito is yours!” Yuto laughed, shaking his head at the display by his band-mate.

“Let’s just leave them in peace.” Daiki grinned as they slowly filed out, leaving a smug Ryosuke and a red-faced Keito.

“Yama-chan!” Keito sputtered as the boy pinned him down.

“Shall we continue where we left off?” Ryosuke smiled before kissing boy he loved over and over again.

Mynavi News x New Dangan Ronpa V3 Translation

It’s the results of the V3 characters’ popularity ranking and fans’ opinions about them from a campaign by Mynavi. You can view the original page here.

This was my first translation request and I think I flubbed at some parts (esp the mono kubs sigh) but it was a lot of fun to do! Hope it’s understandable!

(I also set up a (kinda unfinished) ko-fi page so if you’d like to buy me a coffee I’d appreciate it ♥ )

There are some minor spoilers for v3 so read at your own risk.

Results under cut (or view it on google docs here with some extra infos about the campaign as well).

Ranking results

Top 1: Ultimate Detective Saihara Shuuichi

Why he got chosen:

Even though he seemed unreliable at first glance, he acted like a proper detective and stole my heart by showing his suffering side too. Right now he’s my favorite character!

He’s good looking but can be cute too, and his deductions make him attractive. I love every part of him. His gloomy perverted side is interesting too.

The way he grew [during the game] was cool. The way he shows emotions like crying, laughing and blushing is fascinating.

Top 2: Ultimate Supreme Leader Ôma Kokichi

Why he got chosen:

I couldn’t take my eyes off the character who literally embodied the game’s theme ‘lies’!

Even though his looks and behavior are cute, you could never tell his real intentions. I loved the creepiness and air of mystery around him.

I didn’t really like him during my first play through the game but after I beat the game, I noticed that some of his lines did have different meanings. It was a lot of fun to think about his character as whole.

Top 3: Ultimate Pianist Akamatsu Kaede

Why she got chosen:

I was charmed by the way she worked hard for everyone while staying positive, and her strong sense of justice. Her conversations with Saihara put me at ease.

Kanda Sayaka-san’s voice is wonderful. Especially her whispering in the love apartment scene was memorable!

There’s no reason why I couldn’t love Akamatsu-chan. I immediately went and rented [the CD with] Debussy’s Clair de la Lune.

Top 4: Ultimate Inventor Iruma Miu

Why she got chosen:

The way how Ishida-san as Iruma uses really dirty jokes but then turns really bashful in the next moment is really cute.

Of course I liked her character design and her two faced-ness as both really aggressive and really shy [literally doS and doM but I don’t feel comfortable with translating them to sadist and masochist since it’s a bit of a different meaning in Japan].

I’ve finally met a character in the Dangan Ronpa series who struck me[? sorry not sure what they mean with “strike character”]. Thank you Kodaka-san.

Top 5 Ultimate Magician Yumeno Himiko

Why she got chosen:

Even if there’s no Boke (character who is “simple minded” in Japanese comedy) she can act as a Tsukkomi (character who lectures the boke in Japanese comedy). Also the way she worries about and believes in the protagonist and her friends while keeping a positive attitude is great. Thanks to her spectacular growth in game she’s become my favorite characters in the series.

I fell for her choice of words and tone, and the sprite where her hat flies up, her unexpectedly high self-evaluation and many more things.

Top 6: Ultimate ??? Amami Rantarô

Why he got chosen:

He seemed to have a very frivolous tone at first glance. I’m basing this off looks but he seems very honest, intellectual, and a thoughtful person.

The enigmatic air around him, his looks and personality were really to my liking! I’m dying to read the spinoff novel.

Top 7: Ultimate Robot Kîbo

Why he got chosen:

I thought he was a very cool character when his design got first released. Even though he turned out to be an unexpectedly pitiful piece of junk of a robot, he still showed more emotions than anyone else (especially his blushing expression made my heart beat faster every time). I don’t know why but I even liked that annoying condescending attitude of his.

I love Kiibo-kun! Even though he is a robot, he feels like the most human out of everyone. His strong sense of justice is really cool! I love his dryer-function!

Top 8: Ultimate Aikido Master Chabashira Tenko

Why she got chosen:

What I liked about her was that even though she said she hated men she also worried about them. Her attentive and kind ways. I liked the ‘tough woman’ aspect of her personality.

I like her clear personality where she likes what she likes and hates what she hates. A girl who looks up to other cute girls and doesn’t realize her own girliness is cute.

Top 9: Ultimate Child Caregiver Harukawa Maki:

Why she got chosen:

Because she became softer and cuter the more the story progressed.

I think she was the one who acted closest to a highschool girl in puberty. Her conversations with other characters gave me a super life-like feeling.Her sulking face is cute.

Top 10: Ultimate Maid Tôjô Kirumi

Why she got chosen:

Seeing someone who works for the benefit of the group from a naturally withdrawn point of view whereas everyone else in the killing game had such a strong personality was wonderful.

I was drawn in by her mental strength and the way she could choose someone else’s beliefs without getting carried away by her own emotions. It’s also cute that she can’t cut konnyaku [a gelatinous food made from a starchy root].

Top 11: Ultimate Astronaut Momota Kaitô

Why he got chosen:

At first I thought he is just an impudent character who uses emotional arguments without a basis only but the way he went through with his character from beginning to end left a big impression on me.

Because he showed both the main character and the player that in a game where the theme is ‘lies’, it’s important to believe in the things you want to believe in. Also everything about him is cool.

Top 12: Ultimate Entomologist Gokuhara Gonta

Why he got chosen:

Because even though he knew that he couldn’t understand logic, he still did his best to participate in the trials. His innocent points were my favorite.

Because he’s an idiot… His single-mindedness struck my heart by the way he always sought to be an excellent gentleman despite being pessimistic sometimes.

Top 13: Ultimate Anthropologist Shingûji Korekiyo

Why he got chosen:

His appearance, calmness, cleverness, views on love, his thoughts about life and death, the way he explained his thoughts on how various situations play together in folklore and the way he seemed to always show a lot of different emotions… I love everything about Shingûji.

How he had his own philosophy, and even if he was a bit odd, the way he could hold a conversation in his own unique and funny way made me laugh. It was too funny how they turned into lessons about folklore.

Top 14: Ultimate Artist Yonaga Angie

Why she got chosen:

Her movement, her lines, and her voice totally cured me. The power of a tight hug…

Simply because her behaviour is cute. I really love the sprites where her cheeks are super squishy and the one where she stares right into your soul <laugh>.

Top 15: Ultimate Tennis Player Hoshi Ryôma

Why he got chosen:

I fell for his character in 3 seconds after seeing his too cute visuals with that dandy voice. When I talked to him during free time, i fell in love with him in seconds.

The way the corners of his hat moved up and down was too adorable! I also liked that he loves cats.

Top 16: Ultimate Cosplayer Shirogane Tsumugi

Why she got chosen:

I’m a cosplayer myself so her talks about cosplays or otaku knowledge were super funny!

Because she’s an otaku I loved to see her smiles hit home.

Top 1: Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles Headmaster Monokuma

Why he got chosen:

He’s so hateful and yet I don’t hate him… Oh it’s Monokuma again?! When actually I’ve been waiting for him. I somehow love Monokuma the way he is. He’s also cute, right!

This time there are many jokes about how unforgivingly he used his children and I felt like this was the most appealing point.

There’s nothing that can match Monokuma! For me, Monokuma makes Dangan Ronpa to what it is. I’ll always love him!

Top 2: Mono Kubs Monotarô

Why he got chosen:

I think he’s just naturally really cute. He was such a good relief during the trials.

The brother and sister midday TV drama… was really good.

I thought it was so cute when he said “Mom!”... These proud, warm feelings inside my chest… could it be motherhood?

Top 3: Mono Kubs Monodam

Why he got chosen:

While he said “Friendship” and “Don’t fight” until you thought he’s going crazy, I was very touched by the fact that he must’ve gotten hurt too at some point…

I can’t forget the portrayal of darkness where gloominess was often mistaken for being hideous, cunning and sly.

I was surprised to hear that Monodam’s voice wasn’t edited in any way. Yama-chan [his VA] is really amazing.

Top 4: Mono Kubs Monofunny

Why she got chosen:

How she said “Bye-kuma! ♡” in such a cute way and despite speaking to you in such a nice way, she still calls you bastard [kisama is just a derogatory term for “you” so I wonder how/if they’ll handle that in the EU/US version…]

She is cute, including her sounds when she throws up [“deroderoderodero”]. The only character where even them puking makes me love them more can surely only be Monofunny.

Top 5: Mono Kubs Monosuke

Why he got chosen:

Even though he has this cold, stiff feeling around him and is repeatedly told so, I still consider him the moodmaker of the Mono Kubs

He was an amazing Tsukkomi [character who lectures the boke in Japanese comedy] with his outstanding kansai [southern Japan] dialect. Especially that one time during the nighttime announcement where he was behind the food terror [sorry tbh I don’t remember this scene very well so there may be a translation error] made me laugh a lot.

Top 6: Mono Kubs Monokid

Why he got chosen:

I liked it when he didn’t spew garbage[?]. I couldn’t get his “Hell yeah!” out of my head.

He made the Mono Kubs’ dialogues more interesting with his violent behaviour. I loved his jokes the most. His appearance was also the best.

Daiba/Yama #7, Bulge/Zero #12, Zero/Wataru(???!?!?!?!?!) #19

Modern AU; Already did the other two, but here’s Bulge/Zero for 12 - Love Bite. Featuring Harlock having a bad time. It’s all very silly.

Mildly inappropriate warning

~1600 words

I must have been cursed. After several unlucky roundsof Rock, Paper, Scissors, I was slapped with the designated driver position forthe night. As if things weren’t bad enough already, everyone got wasted. Unusuallywasted.

I had no proof that anything had been spiked, but Zerocould hold his alcohol better than anyone I knew, and he was laughing with hischeek against our table after just a few drinks. Even when Zero did get drunk,he was always all moody about it. Seeing him giggling like a little kid made mewonder if someone had slipped something in my water too.

Bulge, usually our designated driver, never drankmuch. Said he didn’t like to get drunk, but he was collapsed against Zero’s sidecackling about whatever stupid thing had riled the two of them up.

Everyone was having a good time, sure. I just didn’ttrust the place. After twenty minutes of coaxing, begging, bribing, anddragging, I got them all back to the car. At each apartment stop, I made surethey made it through their door alright after making them promise they’d neverhave me as a designated driver again. Not like they’d remember.

Bulge and Zero’s shared apartment was last, theclosest to mine and Tochiro’s and furthest from the bar I didn’t think I’d begoing back to. Their heads were knocked together in the backseat, lookingasleep except for the occasional murmur from one of them.

“Alright, come on,” I called back as I parked by theircars. “Let’s get you useless drunks inside.”

The car’s overhead light kicked on as I opened mydoor, and I found them squinting as I popped their door open for them. Theyboth wore pouts but complied when I grabbed them by the arm and dragged theminto the parking lot.

“Are you staying the night, Harlock?” Bulge asked in asweet, sleepy slur of a voice as though dripping with honey. He got all sappyand affectionate when drunk.

I expected Zero to object, but he was too busy tryingto find where he put his front door key in his million coat pockets.

“I’m not staying,” I said. “I’m just dropping you off.There’s only so much being around drunk people I can stand without being drunkmyself.”

“Sorry,” Bulge said like a kicked puppy. “Do you wantsome food or something? I’m real sorry. You were so helpful.”

I was starting to see why he didn’t like to get drunkoften. “It’s fine,” I said. “Let’s just get you both inside.”

Zero continued fumbling for his keys even as wereached the door, until I was tapping my foot and sighing. Before I could offerto just kick the door in, Bulge shoved his hand into one of the coat’s lowerpockets with a slurred, “Babe, you always put it in the same pocket.”

Zero looked as startled as I did, though he may havebeen more shocked by the awkward placement of Bulge’s grabby hand. I wasconcerned with Bulge calling him babe. Bulge didn’t call anyone babe, not hisoccasional dates, not any hapless baby animals, and especially not hisroommate.

I hoped neither of them would remember this in themorning because I was already hurting knowing that I would. It was all tooweird.

I snatched the keys from Bulge, knowing how long we’dbe there if I let them try to put the key in the lock. Once I had the dooropen, I turned on the lights for them and made sure there weren’t any strayshoes on the floor they could trip over. There weren’t, of course. Bulge andZero were both too neat for that. They both looked like something was crawling aroundon them when they visited my apartment. Bulge was too polite to comment, butZero always said, “Clean your goddamn house, Harlock.”

I tried to hang on the door and let them stumble pastme into the apartment, but Bulge pushed me farther in. “You should eatsomething,” he said. “Or get a drink. We have lots of things.”

If by “lots of things,” he meant water, then they suredid.

He seemed so anxious about it that I figured I wouldhave to take some crackers and a water bottle to make him happy. With a sigh, Iclosed the door behind me, muttering, “Fine-fine.”

Bulge’s eyes lit up as though it were his birthday,and I turned into their small kitchen area. I swear, I was in there for tenseconds tops. I thought I heard something like one of them stubbing their toeagainst the couch, but I sure as hell was not prepared to come back to themmaking out on the couch.

Something had definitely been slipped into my water.

For a minute, I could only stare, my whole body lockedup against me. It looked like Zero had shoved Bulge over the armrest, boththeir knees resting on it. Bulge had his arms locked around Zero’s back, hisfingers digging into that damn coat. Zero hands were latched on Bulge’ssquirming hips, and damn the two of them were going at it. Even when my bodystill wouldn’t move, my eyes flicked away on their own as my mind whirled.

I felt the need to stop them, but I would have muchpreferred just running out the door and leaving them to their devices. Ifsomething had been slipped into their drinks, this was not good. They wouldn’trealize what they were doing. Unless they did? Maybe they did this all the time.I didn’t know. They could have been fuck buddies. Neither of them were thetypes to go around advertising it.

But if that weren’t true, I had to pry them apartsomehow. And then what if they just climbed back on top of each other as soonas I left? Dammit, I was not staying here all night playing chastity belt.

I opened my mouth to say something. I hadn’t plannedout whatever it was, but when Zero’s hand shoved into Bulge’s pants, my voice justcame out as a yell.

Sure didn’t stop them. Bulge just moaned over me. Heactually moaned. Bulge. Oh my god. He was so loud and unrestrained, they weregoing to wake the damn neighbors.

When they broke away gasping for air, their faces allflushed – goddamn, I needed a drink – I finally kicked my legs into motion. Myhand outstretched, I was ready to put a stop to these useless, drunk,starting-to-get-me-grossly-turned-on idiots.

But Bulge did that for me. Sweet, stupid, Bulge.Something got ahold of him – probably Zero’s hand. He leaned up and bit downhard on the side of Zero’s neck. Zero yelped and rolled off of Bulge, hittingthe floor with a thunk.

“Oh thank god,” I said through a wheeze.

Zero had his hand on his neck, his brows furrowed ashe stared up at the ceiling.

“I’m sorry!” Bulge howled, held up on one arm as helooked to Zero in horror. “Did I bite too hard? I thought you liked biting! I’msorry!”

I blinked. Bulge hadn’t done that intentionally. “Idon’t know what I expected,” I muttered, rubbing a hand across my face.

When Zero pulled his hand back to look, his palm was coveredwith blood like a fresh coat of red paint. Bulge broke into a yell and a dozenscreamed apologies.

If the neighbors weren’talready awake, they sure as hell were up now.

I woke with a splitting headache which drowned out theache in my back. After a few minutes of trying to pull my eyes open, I was ableto squint enough to realize I’d slept on the couch. For some reason, Harlockwas curled up on the recliner across the room. The bottle of water on the floornear him entranced me too much to care, and I rolled off the couch to dragmyself toward it.

A quiet “oof,” reached my ears as my knee landed onsomething that wasn’t the floor. Looking down, I found Zero, his expressionscrewed up with pain and his hand against his head.

“Sorry,” I mumbled in a hoarse voice that must havebeen mine, and I pulled myself off of him.

“S’okay,” he answered, his eyelids heavy. As heyawned, I noticed a huge adhesive bandage slapped against his neck, the kindusually reserved for kids who scraped their knees. Our first aid kit sat openon the floor nearby.

“We must have done something stupid,” I said.

“Yes,” a voice hissed behind me.

I turned to find Harlock glaring from his seat, thoughhe didn’t look all that threatening with how he’d curled up. He reminded me ofa puffed-up cat.

“I am never, nevergoing to be a designated driver for you two again,” he said.

“What happened?” Zero asked as I padded over on allfours to the water bottle.

When I looked up at Harlock’s silence, I found himredder than Zero’s favorite sweater. He couldn’t look at either of us.

Oh.

I looked at Zero, who was trying to hide his smile ashe looked back to me.

“And you didn’t even join in?” Zero asked.

I wished he wouldn’t taunt Harlock like that. The poorguy looked close to a heart attack. “I’m leaving,” he said like the wind hadbeen knocked out of him.

“At least take some food or water before you go,” Icalled as he rushed to the door.

He just gave a shortscream and slammed it behind him.
