cuddling with daru
pairing: itaru hashida / daru x gn!reader
tags: fluff, established relationship
you are almost always cuddling with daru, because he can't keep his hands off you
even if you're just standing in the line at the supermarket to buy some snacks, he'll wrap his arms around you from behind and rest his head on your shoulder
those moments never tend to last very long, but daru does cherish these small moments he gets to be close to you
when you're in the lab, he tends to pull you onto his lap and keep his arms around you while he types away at the computer or plays some games
though the typical cuddle sessions are something you'll only get when you're alone at one of your homes
he does enjoy falling asleep with you resting your head on his chest while he has his arms wrapped around you
though he loves having his head on your chest as well! …only so he can hear your heart, of course!
there are moments when daru cringes a bit about how soft he's around you and how much of a normie he is for dating someone
but in all honesty, he's glad he gets to date someone as amazing as you and he wouldn't have it any other way!

⌚ Steins;Gate Review! 🥼
Hello! Welcome back to a new anime review! Today, I'll be reviewing one of the most well-known and praised anime of all time, the one and only Steins;Gate!
It's unlikely you've never heard of Steins;Gate, be it as an anime or visual novel. Indeed, it is one of the most famous names in both fields, and has been for a little over a decade now.
Steins;Gate is a psychological/drama anime that deals with time travel. It aired in 2011 and the original series has 24 episodes. It also has an alternative version, called Steins;Gate 0, that aired in 2018, which has 23 episodes. Finally, it also has a movie.
Before anything, I'd like to state that I watched this anime in chronological order and not release order. It was recommended by most users, and I don't regret it. You can easily find it on Google.
First off, Steins;Gate succeeds where most stories fail: the time travelling doesn't ruin the plot. Thankfully, you'll say, but it is rare enough to be pointed out. The plot is intricate but understandable and without holes.
It has the right amount of build-up and one heck of an ending. The pressure rises crescendo, with some powerful highs and legendary scenes. Once you start, you should quickly be unable to stop watching.
The mysteries are explained and developed extremely well, and the story will catch you off-guard more than once. When done right, time travelling is a great trope, and Steins;Gate definitely does it right.
Great cast, obviously. The main duo is one of the most well-known dynamics duos in anime/VNs, and the side cast may be small but it is very touching at times. The group as a whole works wonderfully well.
Steins;Gate has some of the best character development I've seen in a long while. The protagonist is surprisingly realistic considering the circumstances, and also very human. With a great sidekick at his side, he truly leads the way.
Steins;Gate 0, which complements the original series, while not as good, is still above average. Some additions weren't necessary in my mind (especially the two new characters), but it still had some pretty memorable moments.
The movie closes the series in chronological order, and does it well. It gives the second character in the main duo a chance to shine as the protagonist, and considering how much I love her character, I was glad! It's quite a great movie, overall!
Musically, Steins;Gate is good as heck. It has themes of every sort: chill, sad, tension, comedic... In addition, the original opening is as good as it is well-known, and the one from Steins;Gate 0 is also quite nice.
Despite being more than a decade old, the original series has aged pretty well visually. It's not stunning by today's standards, but it holds up. The 2018 series looks on par with what you would call 'good-looking', even to this day.
I could keep praising this anime for a long time, but I doubt it's necessary. I think you get how good I thought it was. It is an obvious recommendation from me, although I doubt many anime fans have yet to watch Steins;Gate... If not, then please do!
Down below are the tierlists for the characters and the ships in this anime. Thank you for reading this review!
