Just out of curiosity, how would you make a Zelda game?
Selectable Protagonists: I just banged the "Playable Zelda" drum, but if I were making a game I'd let you choose if you're going to play as Link or Zelda. This is because the game is going to keep them together most of the time. The one you select will fight in melee with a sword, and the other will fight with a bow.
The entire game will reinforce how they work better as a pair, with them unlocking dual attacks, having to cooperate to solve most of the dungeon puzzles, boss battles relying on both of them working together, and spending most of the time that the cutscenes of a Zelda game would normally spend rehashing all that Hylia shit on exploring their friendship.
These are two people who are constantly being reincarnated to have to work together, and yet their friendship is less explored than Sora and Kairi. So we'd fix that.
That means Link has to either speak or start learning to sign, and frankly I like the latter.
And both of them get optional crossdressing armour.

LSL Week Day 5: Scars
Sanji couldn’t sleep. That wasn’t unusual, it was often that the cook of the Strawhat Pirates could not sleep. Whether it be from nightmares or his own self pity, undeserved self pity mind you, he was absolutely the failure Judge made him out to be. He had so many failures he could sit there for days and name them. The biggest was asleep next to him as he sat up in their shared bed. A big red ‘X’ on Luffy’s chest proved his failure to the captain.
The day Ace died.
Sanji had a litany of scars as well, the biggest was a surgical scar on his back, from when he kicked Luffy and Nami out of the way of an avalanche on Drum Island. A necessary kick because them living was more important than him dying. Most of his scars on his legs and feet being his weapons, it made sense that's where they would congregate. The ones from Germa, from when he was a child, all faded by the time Baratie had opened. The scars on his hands nearly indiscernible from his normal skin, cooking lessons and mishaps from his first years cooking.
Sanji sighed and wrapped an arm around Luffy, sleeping soundly and snoring as Sanji buried himself into the man's side. Sanji doubts he'll be able to sleep. Which isn't unusual for him. Sanji traces the scar with his eyes over and over again. He doesn't need to, not really, it's been burned in his head since they reunited on Sabaody. He shifts his focus to the scar underneath Luffy's eye. He knows the story behind it, the disappointment. Sanji had baulked the first time he heard it but then remembered how utterly lonely and pirate obsessed Luffy had been as a child.
Sanji supposes he's also lucky given his childhood. The ring around his neck gone, the ‘X’ on Luffy will fade, he will grow more to encompass all his grief in only a small section of him. Just as Sanji had done with his mother. Then again, Sanji thought, the deepest scars were never the physical ones. They were the ones left deep in memories, for Sanji it was family, even his mother, for what had happened.
But Sora would have loved Luffy. Sanji is positive of that.
“You're supposed to be sleeping.” Luffy whines in a whisper.
“Sorry, got caught up in my own head.” Sanji whispers back his apology.
“What about this time?” Luffy asks as he looks at the tired man.
“About how my mom would have loved you.” Sanji answers as he keeps his eyes on his captain's chest.
“Well she loved you, so I love her too..” Luffy answered. “Try to sleep, breakfast later.” Luffy grumbled as he pulled the cook closer.
“Yes, Captain.”

FEM! TRAFALGAR LAW HEADCANONS BECAUSE I LOVE WOMEN
a/n : sometimes i just wish law was actually written as a girl cuz DAMN
Tumblr media
first off, CLOTHES SHE'D WEAR!!
i'm getting major streetwear/chola style vibes from fem! law
like i mean ripped up baggy jeans, croptops, hoodies, oversized t-shirts, sports bras, long clickity clackity nails (if she really wanted to but very occasionally), and of course (his? her?) their hat
she got her earrings done when she was too little to remember so it's just annoying to have to redo them every so often
i have no clue who'd do her tattoos since she most definitely wouldn't trust some sketchy guy to do them
maybe herself but i don't think that's it either
and whenever you ask her, she makes up a different story (like that one blond guy in "ratatouille" who has a criminal record)
"woke up with it" "they're stick n pokes" "this guy i knew who would only wear bucket hats" and of course "nunya"
she is half german and half mexican (may or may not be self projection with the mexican part)
i get HUGE ymir from aot vibes with fem! law
she appears rude, hardheaded, and pessimistic, but she really does care about others and does have some hope in her (wishing her crew likes her horrendous hawaiian shirts)
her music taste is rock, rap, indie dream pop (tv girl), and then sad spanish songs that slap way too hard (i'm thinking "no me queda mas" by selena, a bunch of vicente fernandez songs my mom loves to play at full volume, and "amor eterno" by rocio durcal)
def not straight i mean just look at fem! law fanart on tumblr bro like honey... and man, am i glad she isn't straight cuz GODDAMN
if you go out with her, you need to order for her pls she can't do it on her own
but she will take the bill, no excuses
i think the type of person she needs as a partner would have to be okay with silence, they have to be outgoing and fun but mature with intense situations, and yeah
plays the bass guitar and has been for years
also plays the drums but her main instrument is bass
really wants to be in a band but not really since she hates the idea of having to be nice all the time for the public
at a mall, she either hangs out at hot topic, barnes and nobles, or justice the whole time
got a bunch of piercings all over her but that's a secret lol nobody knows...
UNTIL I TELL YOU: bellybutton, industrial, conch, ear lobe, tragus, bridge, middle tongue, hip, nipple, and then a bunch of genital piercings i will not be discussing any further XD
her most used apps are photos, notes, tumblr, pinterest, depop, and....... ao3
OKAY OKAY as hard as it might be to believe this, this is NOT self projection it is TRUTH
she doesn't religiously read fics or anything, just occasional oneshots about her nerdy crap when she's bored or something
my girl out here reading her "sora, warrior of the sea" 10k+ fics 💀
if you take her home to meet the family, at first they'll be thrown off by her intimidating looks, but soon enough they'll realize what a little loser she is! the cutie patootie she is <3
LOVE LOVE LOVES cringy 70s/80s/90s movies (think "grease", "the princess bride", "pretty in pink", "10 things i hate about you", etc.)
she doesn't know why. she hates the dumb stereotypes and all that stuff, but she just can't help it! she's so real for it too
idk why but i feel like she'd LOVE spiderman???? like as an obsession?
she is pretty normal about the live action movies, it's just SPIDERVERSE THAT MAKES HER GO CRAZY
she also wants to be good at art but never has motivation to do it
she def has an upside down smile (that what it's called? i think of it more as a "oh that's cringy look and stare y'all" smile)
is she scrawny? muscular? i can't decide honestly. like yeah guy law has some brawn, but he is still a pretty lanky guy, so that's why i see fem! law as a lanky chick. but i love muscular women... goddamn she is just lanky. she obviously has some meat on her bones, but not much.
that being said, i don't think she's very curvaceous either (let's pretend oda didn't draw her the way he did). she is no doubt an a cup, and while her butt is fairly larger, she's still pretty flat.
she also only ever wears sports bras since she thinks regular bras are uncomfy and a hassle.
for a va to replace masc! law's, i would say for japanese romi park. for english, i'd say either trina nushimura or elizabeth maxwell.
for one piece live action, i would want like zendaya as fem! law 😭 aye anything for queen zendaya
only bepo knows this, but she wears socks and sandals on sundays no fail.
has a tattoo somewhere of bepo's name inside a heart with an arrow through it (think those tattoos that tough guys get, with instead of bepo, "mom" is what's written)
fem! law still wears ugly ass hawaiian shirts, don't get it mixed up ✊
that's all for now :)
likes and reblogs are appreciated <3
have a good day!!

drum roll please...
hello @kingarmorking! I'm your Secret Santa!!!
Tumblr media
I will admit, your prompt had me confused at first glance but once I came to actually look at your account and work, OH was I eating!!! Sora as the Beast??? Riku as the Beauty??? it's been such a hassle not reblogging your art and leaving comments in order to keep anonymity... I'm obsessed with this AU and this is the product of that!
in case you don't remember, you asked for a scene written or something taken straight from Beauty and the Beast, and. I hope you don't mind if I was a little self-indulgent. I took some inspiration from the film but also... angsted it. ahh, I hope you enjoy it!!!
(everyone else, go read SEDI!!!)
secrets never kept, promises never made
Riku wonders which is Sora.
The two portraits hang proudly on the wall, even with time making them fade away and tearing at their corners. They both have dark green backdrops, the subjects facing each other, and Riku props his hand on his hip.
One is of a blond boy and the other is of a brunet. They have matching blue eyes, faces etched into permanent frowns of solemnity (although the brunet looks like there’s a slight whisper of a smile threatening to escape), and hair slicked down. They wear matching royal blue suits, and while only their upper bodies are shown, they seem so well put together.
Which is Sora? Riku can’t figure it out. He's passed this hallway a few times, without the Beast ever knowing, and he keeps trying to figure it out, and to no avail over and over. Was it the blond who seemed so serious, so sad? Or was it the brunet who seemed to try to hide a smile that even the painter picked up on?
Riku figures it’s the blond. Sora doesn’t seem like the smiling type.
But then again—if Riku was trapped in a body for that long, he wonders how much he would change. He isn’t the smiling type or the particularly over-joyous type, but Riku still had some joy in his heart, even if he couldn’t show it. Where would it all go?
Buried deep down somewhere like some sort of coffin.
His metaphor is cut too soon with a sudden gust of wind.
This hallway is abandoned, with cobwebs wrapping themselves around candles like babies to their mothers, with all the blue walls having turned into darkness. Curtains hug the windows and even if it was day, no light would be omitted. For all intents and purposes, this hallway was intended to be left to time.
And yet, the door slams open, and Riku’s cloak flutters behind him. Riku doesn’t feel the fear he expects himself to be overcome by when he turns to see the large keeper of the castle standing there, shadows covering his face and expression.
Instead, Riku only turns. What else is there to do?
You’re not supposed to be here.
“I apologize,” Riku says, in only half honesty. He does feel bad for breaking Sora’s rules, as it seems it’s all he has left—he doesn’t feel bad for wanting to learn more. For wanting to end this eternal darkness plaguing this realm.
It’s why he hesitates and bites back his tongue to ask, 'Which one is you?' Is it important? Does Sora even remember? (Would he even tell Riku?)
Get out. A please is added after a moment, and Sora’s large form takes a step closer as if trying to goad Riku out. The shadows seem like a good place for him like he was made for it, and Riku wonders if that bothers him.
Both of the twins didn’t seem particularly sad. Neither of them seemed like they lingered in the shadows—
And yet, here they are.
Riku glances down and sighs. He can't suppress his curiosity, craving the safety knowing would bring. “Sora,” he calls. “How—”
It was a long shot, Riku knew, but he didn’t expect Sora to let out a mighty roar that shook the whole room. Riku lets out a startled yelp and hardens his gaze as Sora simpers, standing taller in the light, covering as much of it as he could as though he owned the darkness, he was the darkness. I said GET OUT.
It rings in Riku’s ears and he presses a hand to either one. He presses harder because the ringing doesn’t stop, and it echoes into his brain. It makes him nauseous and he—he has to get away from Sora.
I’m sorry, Sora, some part of him calls, stumbling backward. I’m sorry this happened to you.
The ringing, the ringing, the ringing, it drives Riku crazy and he keeps limping until he reaches what he thinks is a balcony. The ringing is going quieter, but it’s still there—is Sora still in that room? Riku hears something behind him—maybe Sora tears down the painting. Riku doesn’t know, doesn’t care, he scales the side of the castle walls the way he and Katsu used to climb houses when they were smaller.
Riku keeps moving forward—why won’t the ringing stop?
Is this Sora, trying to push him away; or trying to pull him back?
It’s getting quieter, though.
Riku keeps moving forward. I’m sorry, he keeps repeating in his mind, as though to swat away all of Sora’s rage. Neither of those twins seemed like they could get too angry. Well—the blond, maybe. So that must be Sora. So angry all the time, but Riku knows he would be too, so he could still be the brunet, and on and on Riku’s thoughts go. I’m sorry, he’ll repeat, and he’s not sure if he’s sorry this happened to Sora and he can’t save him, or sorry that he’s wondering this at all. I’m sorry I made you feel like you’re not enough.
The ringing stops.
Riku drops his hands and suddenly recognizes the cold. Wrapping his arms around himself, Riku shivers and blows out condensing cold air, trying to take note of where he is. Trees—ah, the forest, of course.
There’s still some light. Riku turns around and huffs. This is the last place he’d like to be found in the darkness and the last place he’d like to be found while the world keeps falling to its creatures. In short, this is one of the few places Riku likes and he can’t understand Yuu’s obsession with it. The name sends a jolt of warmth through him, the warmth of joy: Please have made it to the capital alright.
The warmth of joy is washed out with a bucket of shame: he came here to save the realm. And he spent his time wondering what Sora looked like. He spent his time aggravating him instead of freeing the realm. 
And of course, Riku—the shivers rack through him violently, interrupting his thoughts—wonders what exactly is going through Sora’s mind. Telepathy isn’t enough. Riku wonders what Sora feels and what Sora actually wants to do, instead of what he says. Riku wonders so much, but that’s not important.
What’s important is the people he loves who he can’t count on one hand, who grow every single day. When he was small it was his brothers, and then it was Kairi, and then it was the town, and now it’s the realm. (And maybe, now it’s the castle. Maybe, now it’s Sora.) He can’t lose sight of that. The moment he does, that’s when he’ll be in trouble—
Riku lets out a yelp as something latches to his leg. He kicks at it, but his boots are dull and tired, and the something yanks him to the ground. Slamming to the ground without an ounce of gracefulness, Riku grabs a handful of snow and chucks it forward, alongside kicking with his free foot.
The something lets out a warbled hiss and backs off quickly, and—
Shadows.
Riku doesn’t have a weapon.
Riku scrambles to his feet and looks around. Slowly, white snow is overtaken by these creatures of the night and Riku only has a few seconds to think, and oh! Trees! They have sharp branches, don’t they?
Riku rushes out of the opening and grabs a fallen branch, the first one he grabs with no care for sharpness. He maybe should’ve cared. This one is duller than a dying light, but beggars can’t be choosers and Riku can’t be monster food.
The shadows are small enough, but Riku knows that small things can be overwhelming in larger groups. He needs to keep them down to keep an upper hand, and Riku sweeps his stick in a low arching movement, knocking three of the creatures to the ground.
They dissolve into the night and Riku dances with the night. He spins and strikes, and for a moment, there are only two more left, and he can head back to the castle and work—
A shadow claws at Riku’s leg and it tears through his slacks. Letting out a shout, Riku falls forward and quickly turns onto his back. No, no, no, he isn’t going to let these puny monsters be the death of him, not when he has so much to fight for (but how, there are so many, he can’t do this alone!)
Shadows restrain Riku’s wrists and he headbutts forward, trying to knock the closest one off balance, but all he ends up doing is flailing. What do they even want, his soul? Well, they can’t have it! Riku keeps fighting and he feels darkness suffocating him. They can’t have it, they can’t have it, they can’t have it, he needs to protect the ones who he loves, it’s getting darker and darker—
The shadow is tossed off Riku’s body and the weight is lifted from his limbs. Riku’s eyes search, dazed.
In the darkness, Riku finds something even darker; something more light than anything here. “Sora,” Riku groans. The shadows are regrouping, and Riku pushes himself up onto his elbows.
I’m sorry, Sora tells him. It seems like he’s panting; it seems like he’s human. I shouldn’t have gotten mad at you like that.
“I shouldn’t have pried,” Riku automatically says, holding his head. He's spinning. No, he's not, he's on the ground. Yet, he's spinning. Maybe he was a dancer in a past light.
No…you’re within your right, Sora begins, before turning. But shall we deal with these first?
“Probably smart,” Riku tells him, pushing himself to unsteady feet. He lurches forward and Sora is there to grab him and to hold out— “My sword!”
I had a feeling, Sora explains, holding his hands out at either side of him, that there would be trouble.
“You have some pretty good feelings,” Riku says.
I hope so. I only have so many.
Riku is about to laugh, thinking it’s a joke, until a shadow jumps at him and he needs to swing his sword down. The arch is true and it feels right, unlike the imitation called a stick. This feels right, this fight, and when the shadow is extinguished, it’s time for the next one.
The cold doesn’t bother Riku. The numbers don’t bother Riku. Nothing bothers Riku are he swings forward, accompanied only by the sound of metal, his grunting, and Sora’s loud footsteps. Sora, Riku thinks, sparing a glance or two or three or four at him.
Sora is a fighter. It’s like he was made for this, mixing between magic and physical combat. Both leave Riku reeling and for a second, Riku imagines someone else.
He imagines the boy with blond hair, back to back with him. “We’re almost there!” Riku tells Sora and Sora lets out a grunt to let him know he heard, and the two kick off each other again. The shadows keep going. But they’re bound to come. The blond is nothing but rage, nothing but—
Riku feels a wave of joy take over him, a joy that isn’t his.
Riku slices and imagines the boy with brown hair, switching spots with him. Sora’s better at large groups and Riku’s better at large shadows. The two nod to each other and they’re fighting again, and there’s almost a hop in Sora’s step, like he hasn’t fought in a while. No, he has fought.
Like he hasn’t fought with someone in a while.
Riku slams his sword down and imagines the boy with brown hair, sticking to his forehead, laughing.
The shadows are gone. Riku turns around—
And sees the Beast looking back at him.
Riku smiles at Sora.
I’m so sorry.
I wish I could save you.
I wish I could love you.
…can I?
Tumblr media
I hope you enjoyed that!!! like I said, EXTREMELY self-indulgent. I'm so sorry, your AU just gave me brain rot! I was inspired by the scene above where Belle gets attacked by wolves and the Beast comes to save her, except... well, this is Soriku, they would kick ass together!
happy holidays! thanks for a lovely prompt <3

I was originally gonna put these in a reblog of this post, but decided against that and made this post lol
Here are my music headcanons for the ninja and other characters!
Lloyd: Cheesy pop and screamo metal. No in between
Kai: Rock
Jay: Kpop (he secretly dances along to the music videos, but will deny anything and everything when questioned)
Cole: same as canon (soft rock), as well as some folk (because I can't not go projecting on my favorite character lol)
Zane: Whatever happens to be on the radio, as well as meme songs (he rickrolls tf out of everyone lmao)
Nya: Chill/upbeat chill vibes
Pixal: Classical (of all eras) and instrumentals (she likes to put music on while working on other things, and can't focus if the music has lyrics)
Wu: Traditional (whatever sort of Asian you headcanon him as) music. (I like to say traditional Japanese music, like with the big drums and cool flutes, mostly because I have a CD with that stuff on it that I listen to all the time lol)
Skylor: The exact opposite of whatever plays over the speakers in Chen's Noodle House. She'll listen to ANYTHING except for that

DR characters under the cut
Arin: Pop/Indie. (he likes stopping and listening to random bands playing on the street at the Crossroads)
Sora: Cyberpunk (I couldn't resist lol), and just basically anything that was banned in Imperium
Euphrasia: Traditional Cloud Kingdom music (whatever that is), and soft, folky music with the most depressing lyrics you've ever heard in your life
Wyldfyre: Soft piano/string quartet music (it calms her down most of the time, but you can also go fucking wild to any sort of music. I know from experience lol)
I think that was the first time I've ever typed out Wyldfyre's name lol. And that was the second

It's a miracle i managed to color this one because I was also almost not coloring everything in it LOL
So here's the baddies' outfits... On Daisuke. Yeah. If you read the previous post about this AU, you will remember he just starts as one of the lackeys of the big bad (which is Daemon and the Demon Lords) -- but the twist here is that... He wasn't aware of this at all, he believed the lab he was working at was some sort of digimon vet clinic/lab.
Well, you can see the color palette for the outfit is using the same ones from Daemon’s cloak :) 
And why the heckie does he appear wearing that getup in a vet clinic/lab? Well, he didn’t know either, but they claimed that it was for protection against certain digimon abilities (a lie, yeah) – but it makes no sense when he gets in touch with Chibimon and the digimon is not even that dangerous as he was told about. The digimon are some sort of critters from another world like in the canon, but I'm picturing them like the critters from Gaim (the Inves), as in, having their own world and the humans using them for some selfish purposes (eh, this is a bit of Cyber Sleuth/Hacker’s Memory too… Yup)
Oh yeah, Daisuke is not working alone in the “vet lab” apparently. He got coworkers. Some are nice, some are just so ready to dunk Daisuke into the trashcan because of him fooling around (he only does that when he’s BORED, y’know?? his job is really BORING!!) but I’m not sure who they are, if they are my OCs or if they are other characters from the canon or even from… the franchise in general. The other kiddo in the getup screaming at him there is… [drum rolls]
Himekawa Maki.
I know, this sounds really funny to think about… I want to just re-use all my ideas for Maki and Daigo so bad you can’t even. And I think I’m de-aging her a little and she’s only 3 years older than Taichi/Yamato/Sora/Meiko/Menoa here. She and Daigo are the same age tho.
Maki is Daisuke’s supervisor btw. Daigo… Well, he does not work here, but I’ll leave him for another post in the future.
And speaking of Daisuke’s circle of friends, who’re none than the same group he got in the canon universe… They all want him to quit that job for his own sanity. Ken, Miyako and Iori are way more vocal about this, meanwhile Takeru, Rui and Wallace try their best, but are not muuuuuuuuuch vocal. And Hikari? Hikari’s a mystery. She doesn’t like him working for that “vet clinic” and then thinks he should quit, but she’s the least vocal about it. I wonder why…
He didn’t quit it yet BECAUSE he claims he needs the money and this is the only job he got.
(and yeah, Daisuke’s backpack has a certain hedgehog’s keychain.)

Sixteen minutes left - Taiora one-shot
For @taioraweek 2023 Day 3
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
A/N: This is me finally writing about Taichi secretly being more of a Ryan Evans kinda guy than a Troy Bolton. Just kidding. But for real, let Taichi be proudly in love with (high school) musicals. And openly teach it to his children. Also; hair braiding.
And Sora’s there too. Taking the kids to soccer and being the loud mother on the sideline that protects her little duck babies at all costs and will punch you in the face when you tackle one of hers, you’ve been warned. Adult!Taiora, taking place in my "About all the times" universe [x][x].
Rated T for sexual innuendo.
Summary: Akiko and her siblings are preparing for their upcoming school musical try-out and soccer game. Their parents however have their head in some other... "game"...
Day 3: Musical | Characters: Taichi Yagami x Sora Takenouchi, OC babies (POV) | Genre: Family | Rating: T | Wordcount: 1.177
Tumblr media
The three teenagers were sitting in a train in front of their father, Akiko comfortably sandwiched between her sister behind her and her younger brother in front between her legs. Her hands were putting the finishing touches on the braid she was braiding in her brother’s hair.
A relaxing atmosphere had colored the room, until her father suddenly interrupted it by speaking the important words:
“Okay, lightning round!”
Born with the level of competitiveness from both of their parents, all three kids were immediately highly alert.
“We start easy. ‘Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them show’,” Taichi dramatically spoke, earning him a laugh from Yua and an eyeroll -with a concealed grin- from Tatsuki.
“Ooh ooh! Let it go, Frozen!” Akiko answered way too enthusiastically.
“I’m gonna learn how to fly… HIGH!”
“Fame!” Yua quickly stole the answer before Akiko could answer it again. From there the two competitively took turns guessing the musical lyrics their father was throwing at them with thunder speed.
“I got chills, they’re multiplying,”
“That’s Grease! You’re the one that I want—”
“Ooh ooh oooohh!”
“I wanna know, can you show me?”
“I wanna know about these strangers like meeee. Tarzan! I love that musical.”
“I was lost till I heard the drums, then I found my way,”
“Ah, that’s Hairspray…”
“You can’t stop the beat!”
“I did not live until today…”
“Les Misèrables, one day moooooore,”
“Two more! It’s time to trust my instincts…”
“Close my eyes and leaaaaaaaapp!” Akiko, her father and Yua belted out together, followed by loud laughing.
“Dad, you said one more,” Tatsuki interrupted the laughs while trying to contain his own enthusiasm.
“Oh don’t worry Tsuki, this one is especially for you,” her father his index finger pointed at her brother, “tell me -one, two or three- in which High School Musical is my favorite Troy Bolton solo?”
Tatsuki thought deeply. Akiko and Yua impatiently looked at him with wide eyes waiting for the answer as if they were watching the most exciting movie ever.
“Hmm, that should be either two or three…” Tatsuki thought out loud.
Unfortunately however, he never got the chance to answer.
“Movie three of course,” their mother answered, arms crossed in front of her chest while she leant against the doorpost with her left shoulder. She smirked. “Do you kids have any idea how hard he cried at that Scream-song?”
“You will never let me live it down, do you?”
“Never. ‘I can’t choose, so confused, what’s it all mean? I want my own dream, so bad I’m gonna scream’, it was all just way too fitting. You silently cried like a little kid being scared of its own reflection in a funhouse mirror and you were losing it like that Troy Bolton guy, punching and kicking the air all dramatically. Still lives rent free in my memories.”
Akiko chuckled, trying to imagine her father in the role of Troy Bolton, wandering through a school that was spinning, being all confused, punching and kicking the air like a true American high school musical teenager.
She was definitely grateful for her father’s incredibly cheesy musical-loving side. He had been the one to teach Akiko and her siblings the wonders of musicals, musical movies and all the lyrics from his all-time favorite songs. He had inspired her to discover theater and today was the first try-out for the musical she and her brother Tatsuki played in. She was excited to say the least!
“Ssshh, that’s our secret,” Taichi said a bit shamefacedly as he stood up, patting Yua on the top of her head that way letting her know her hair was all set with braids for her upcoming important soccer game.
He walked towards Sora who was still standing in the opening of the bedroom door and once arrived at where she was, he playfully pushed her outside the opening and into the hallway. As her mother walked to the master bedroom next door, her father turned around before he followed his wife.
“We’re leaving in twenty. Make sure to be all braided by then!” He then shut the door behind him.
“Mom will always find a way to tease dad, no matter how narrow,” Yua grinned as she finished the braid in Akiko’s hair. Akiko let her head fall back into her neck to look up to her older sister to force her into leaving a peck on her forehead. Yua rolled her eyes, but gave Akiko the peck anyway.
“Are you ready for the big game?” Akiko asked while she returned her focus towards Tatsuki’s hair.
“I guess so,” Yua sounded a bit nervous, “I’m a bit sad dad won’t be there since he will have to go with you guys to help backstage during the tryout. And mom always gets way too loud which drives me insane.”
It was true, their mother had her moments once on the soccer field’s sideline. Even though it frustrated her sister, Akiko admired her mother being so passionate about her children and their hobbies or sports.
“It’s not that I’m not happy she’s there, I mean, she’s actually right most of the time. She’s just so unnecessarily noisy, and— wait…” Yua interrupted herself, one finger in front of her lips and one ear directed to the wall adjacent to the bedroom their parents were in.
Both Akiko and Tatsuki became quiet again, listening closely to what Yua had heard.
“Too far?” Came their mother’s muffled voice from the other side of the wall.
“Yes. And therefore I have to punish you,” was their father’s response.
“Ouch!” Tatsuki cried as Akiko in reaction to her father’s words pulled the strand of her brother’s hair in her hand a bit too hard.
“Oh? And what exactly is that punishment?” They could hear their mother tease back.
“That you have to wear your ‘soccer mom’ shirt to the game.”
“Fine by me. Then how about… I change into it… right now… in front of you…”
Yua’s ears turned bright red, mirroring Akiko’s cheeks, upon hearing their parents flirt like that, every pause between their mother’s words filled with sloppy kissing sounds.
“Please do. I mean…”
Another kiss.
Akiko covered Tatsuki’s ears, having a hunch about what was to come after looking at the clock and noticing how much time had gone by since their father had said they’d leave for the respective tryout and soccer game in twenty.
Exactly four minutes…
“… We have sixteen minutes left, better get it done. Sixteen more minutes, get ready, game on…”
“Taichi…!”
“Right now I can hardly breath…”
“You can do it, just know that I believe~”
“And that’s all I really need…”
“Then come on~”
“Make me strong~”
“OKAY.” Yua cleared her throat, trying to cover up the squeals from both their parents and one certain bedroom-furniture-piece.
“W-I-L-D Wildcats. They’re really putting the now in ‘now or never’,” Tatsuki said with the smug face he inherited from his father, ears still covered by Akiko. Yet aware enough of what stageplay (or game) their parents were currently playing.

@curiouskinetic &&. said... It's been a normal, rather uneventful (and frankly kind of boring) day, but one Sora was still content to spend with a friend. Life didn't have to be all big adventures after all, some quiet time hanging out and reading books was nice too. Though she'd finished her book earlier than expected, and found herself at a loss for what to do afterwards. Flopping down at Ren's side she let out a little huff, trying to decide whether or not she should just go to sleep. Until a scent caught her attention, and she found herself leaning towards him and giving him a little sniff. ".... hey, Ren? What's that other scent that's like... always on you?" Hm. That probably sounded a little odd. She should clarify. "Uhm, I mean, it's from a person I'm pretty sure-- someone you hang out with a lot?" Not that she had a burning need to know about all of his other friends, but she couldn't help being curious about one that seemed so important... if only judging by the fact their scent was constantly on him.
Tumblr media
he's  fully  preoccupied  with  his  own  book  —  to  such  a  degree  that  the  wanderer  doesn't  even  look  up  when  sora  flops  down  by  his  side.  perhaps  it  stands  as  subconscious  testament  to  what  extent  he  actually  trusts  her;  ren  is  oft  prone  to  erring  on  the  side  of  caution,  even  with  those  he's  known  for  quite  some  time.  it  takes  a  concerted  effort  to  win  even  the  barest  shreds  of  FAITH  —  for  though  his  understanding  of  the  BETRAYALS  that  have  haunted  him  for  so  many  years  has  changed,  force  of  habit  still  has  its  claws  sunk  deep  nonetheless.  it  makes  these  small  moments  of  contentment  all  the  more  precious,  if  only  for  their  rarity.  such  comfort  is  ordinarily  found  in  total  SOLITUDE,  when  he  isolates  himself  somewhere  far  too  deep  in  the  forests  of  sumeru  for  another  soul  to  find  him.
Tumblr media
❝  ...  huh?  ❞  predictably, he's  so  distracted  that  he  barely  notices  the  question.  paper  rustles  as  he  turns  the  page  —  only  for  the  wanderer  to  FREEZE  as  understanding  crashes  into  him  like  a  massive  wave.  once  again,  his  expressive  face  stabs  him  in  the  back;  a  myriad  of  emotions  flickering  across  delicate  countenance  at  speeds  nearly  too  fast  to  register.  confusion.  shock.  suspicion.  embarrassment.  the  last  one  is  particularly  NOTABLE,  for  ren  tends  to  carry  himself  as  if  he's  above  the  concept  of  SHAME  —  not  out  of  a  lack  of  self  respect,  but  rather  with  the  confidence  of  one  too  stubborn  to  spare  what  others  think  so  much  as  a  thought.  yet  now,  a  dusting  of  a  distinctly  rosy  hue  paints  his  cheekbones  and  he  stares  at  sora  with  eyes  gone  impossibly  wide.  he  has  a  sneaking  suspicion  he  knows  precisely  who  she's  referring  to;  there  is  only  one  person  who  ren  spends  so  much  time  around  —  and  in  fact,  actively  seeks  out  his  company  at  every  available  opportunity.
it's just a bit awkward to explain. ( his scent? )
❝  uh.  ❞   the  wanderer  turns  away,  pretending  to  fake  a  cough.  as  if  that  alone  is  somehow  enough  to  smooth  over  the  MORTIFYING  display.   ❝  that  person  is  probably ...  ❞  words  trail  off  just  as  quickly  as  they  begin.  he  drums  painted  nails  against  the  cover  of  his  long-forgotten  book,  trying  to  think  of  a  way  to  respond  as  succinctly  as  possible.  when  nothing  comes  to  mind,  lavender  gaze  flicks  to  his  hands.  nose  wrinkles  in  thought.  after  a  few  seconds  of  contemplation,  ren  merely  settles  for  raising  one  for  sora  to  see  —  purposefully  trying  to  draw  attention  to  the  ENGAGEMENT  RING  he  wears  upon  his  finger.  a  bit  messy,  but  with  his  tongue  evidently  taking  the  opportunity  to  rebel  against  him,  it  seems  like  the  most  painless  way  to  answer  her  question.

rough wip of a fic where roxas and kairi have a conversation and learn a bit more abt each other (set post melody of memory) !!
i have a lot more stuff to add but I have other things i need to be doing today :(
"I had a feeling you'd be up here,"
Roxas jumped about a foot in the air; he'd been too engrossed in his writing to notice anyone that anyone else had climbed up to the tower.
"Careful! Don't fall!" Kairi yelped, surprised that he’d been so startled.
Roxas grabbed his pen right before it rolled off the edge of the tower and disobeyed Kairi's instructions.
"Don't worry. I've learned how to keep my balance up here, but it takes some practice," 
Their first conversation flashed through his mind. Admittedly, the clock tower was not the safest choice for a hangout spot.
"What brings you here?" he asked, offering his hand to help Kairi sit down. 
Hesitantly, she took it and settled down beside him on the ledge. Roxas noticed that her hands were clenched- nails digging into palm. The same way Xion does when she's nervous. 
"You okay?"
Kairi took a deep breath, avoiding his gaze.
"Yeah. Heights just.. aren't my thing. I'd rather have the ground under my feet, that's all,”
She paused.
“But, tomorrow, I leave to go train with Aqua, so I figured I ought to visit this place again before I go,"
“Y’know, you really shouldn’t force yourself up here if you’re scared of heights. This place isn’t that special,” 
Roxas knew that statement sounded wonderfully ironic, coming from his lips.
A cloud passed in front of the sun. Kairi shivered.
"It's- the height's not everything," her voice grew soft.
Roxas looked over, concerned. Her shoulders were trembling.
"The last time I was here... was with him."
Him.
Roxas remembered how she'd walked back without him that day. Deep down, a voice he tried to ignore asked why Sora didn't feel like saying goodbye to him.
"It's… been awhile since then," Roxas stared ahead.
Kairi murmured in agreement.
The two watched the clouds roll by.
"Roxas?"
"Hm?"
"What were you writing about, when I came up here?"
"Oh, that," 
Roxas reached out to grab the notebook he'd set aside- yellow on the front, with painted stars and a thalassa shell. Xion and Namine had worked together on it, all for him. He still didn't know how to thank them.
"I was just journaling. I come up here in the afternoons when everyone's doing other things. It's a nice place to write."
Kairi nodded, pulling something from her pocket. It was a small purple journal, with a bow on the front.
"I like to write, too. Mostly poems, though. I've tried to keep a diary before, but it never stuck. I feel like I just don't remember enough to write anything," She twisted the ribbon on the cover between her fingers.
"I've been there before.”
“Really?”
“I…  think you should keep trying. Trust me, it helps. And not just with memories,"
Kairi looked up.
"It helps you… see what you feel. Sometimes, I can't understand what I'm feeling until I write it down."
"I see. I think I'm the same way with my poems," 
She went back to messing with the journal’s ribbon.
"Though, I feel like I can't write anything at all, nowadays," she whispered.
She sighed. It sounded just like Namine's.
Roxas drummed his fingers on top of his notebook, then, taking a deep breath, slowly reached into his pocket. He pulled out a fountain pen- navy, with black and silver trim- and pointed it towards Kairi.
"Take this. For you to write with. It was my first one,"
"Your first... pen?"
"Yeah."
Roxas rubbed his thumb over the cap. The motion alone brought back countless memories. He didn't know why he held onto it. It had become a habit to carry around, even after its matching journal had long been filled. He didn't use it, though. Something in him couldn't. It was from a different time, a time long gone; secretly, he felt like if he used it, it might just have the power to bring those times back.
"Back when.. I first joined the Organization... Saix gave it to me, with a journal as well,"
"Saix did?" 
She sounded confused.
"Well, Isa now, I guess. He told me that I should keep a diary, to keep track of things that happened. I didn't know what to write at first, but... it eventually became like a lifeline to me. In the beginning, I... I don't know how to describe it, but I couldn't hold on to anything. Everything would swim around me, but I think- I think writing was one of the things that saved me from… losing who I was,"
"That was... very kind of Saix."
"Huh. I guess it was.”
Kairi stared down at the pen.
"Roxas,"
Kairi looked at the boy in front of her. His face was set in a determined, almost familiar way; his eyes shone so blue, so earnestly; she couldn't bear to meet their gaze.
"I can't take something so important from you. I-"
"No." There was a storminess in his eyes as he interrupted her.
"I don't even use it anymore. It's a gift. A… thank you."
"A thank you?"
"Yes. Do you remember the first time we talked?"
He watched as Kairi closed her eyes and searched for the memory. It made him sad, when people struggled to remember things; he knew too well the pain of forgetting. He felt worse that she knew it likely as well as he did.
"I- think so. It was when I was... trying to remember S-" Her voice faded off so that she wouldn't have to finish the name.
"Yeah. You ended up finding me instead."

15/02/23 ~ NTS Radio - Yukihiro Takahashi Special
Presenting to you, the music of the late Yukihiro Takahashi - a leading figure in Japan’s music scene for nearly 50 years and a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra. 
As a drummer and a vocalist who embraced music technology, he had a wide artistic range - from city pop and arty new wave to acoustic folk-rock, in addition to producing material for several pop acts and composing film and video game soundtracks.
Born in 1952 in Tokyo, he began his music career early, playing drums with college bands while still in junior high school and starting as a session musician at 16. He studied design at an Art University in Tokyo, without graduating. Like many of his peers, his artistic output had no limits - he developed his own clothing line in the 70s (Bricks), often designing the outfits worn by Yellow Magic Orchestra. He also took the role of actor in several films - mostly comedic roles (he seemed to have a good sense of humour!) & some of which, he produced soundtracks for. 
Takahashi loved to collaborate, forming bands on the fly and bringing in friends to play on individual tracks.
So -  I hope you enjoy this chronological deep dive into Yukihiro Takahashi’s musical catalogue as I pay tribute to his iconic and influential life. I’ve listened most of his 43 albums and have done my best to condense them into 2 hours! Let’s go!
1992 - Expected Ocean Umi Sora Sango no Iitsutae Soundtrack
Movie soundtrack by Takahashi acting as a bed for the show’s intro. 
youtube
2. 1975 - Sadistic Mika Band -  Time To Noodle - Hot! Music
Sadistic Mika Band were formed in 1972 - the founding member, Kazuhiko Katō moved to Kensington in 72 and was impressed by the upcoming glam rock scene led by T.Rex and David Bowie - so he formed the band in Japan, including his wife Mika and Takahashi on drums. The name is a parody of the 60s band, Plastic Ono Band.
The band were popular in the UK, touring with Roxy Music in ‘75 - the first ever UK tour by a Japanese band. During this period, they performed on the BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test. When they appeared,  the name of the programme (usually shown hung from the back wall) was spelt as The Old Gley Whistle Test as a nod to the Japanese pronunciation of the letters L and R.
Sadistic Mika Band’s albums were released on Doughnut Records - Japan’s first private label that was founded by Katō. 
Around the time of Hot Music’s release, members of Yellow Magic Orchestra started working together on solo projects and as a part of each others bands. 
3. 1978 - Sadistics - Nao - We Are Just Taking Off 
Katō and Mika divorced and left the band. The remaining members, Takahashi, Takanaka, Imai, and Gotō continued for several years as The Sadistics. They released two albums and two live albums before the band eventually petered out in ’79 as the members became busy with their solo careers & other projects. 
4. 1978 - Present - Sarravah! 
This was Takahashi’s first solo album, created whilst on tenure from The Sadistics. It was produced by Sakamoto - he also features on keys. Plus Hosono on bass, with Tatsuro Yamashita, Minako Yoshida & Rajie on backing vocals. 
Named after Pierre Barouh’s record label of the same name, Takahasi based the album on French pop music - this influence would later show up in early YMO material. 
Sarravah! Was released the same year that YMO fully formed, recorded & released first album. 
5. 1980 - Numbers From A Calculated Conversation - Murdered by the Music 
Second studio album & his first release whilst he was a member of YMO. Murdered by the Music did pretty well in the Japanese charts, reaching #12. 
Features contributions from Sakamoto, Hosono & Sandii. 
6. 1981 - Extra Ordinary - Neuromantic 
This is my favourite album from Takahashi’s collection - synth-pop goodness and his vocals are perfection! 
Neuromantic was self-produced, again with contributions from Sakamoto and Hosono + Tony Mansfield and members of Roxy Music. 
The name, Neuromantic, is a pun on the early 1980s British fashion movement, the New Romantics.
youtube
7. 1981 - Drip Dry Eyes - Neuromantic
Another classic from Neuromantic. My favourite song of his, probably yours too. Was also covered by Sandii. & the video! Ah! 
8. 1981 - The Beatniks-  No Way Out - Exitentialism
Formed by Takahashi & Keiichi Suzuki in 1981. More of an Alt-rock tinge. They released several albums, including soundtracks for Yohji Yamamoto’s catwalk shows. 
Their first album in 7 years was released in 2018. That same year, they performed live in several concerts, despite Takahashi’s recent eye surgery. 
9. 1982 - Flashback - What Me, Worry? 
Fourth solo album. More features from Sakamoto & Hososno +  Zaine Griff, Tony Mansfield, and Bill Nelson.
Takahashi’s first release on YEN Records - An imprint of Alfa Records that ran from 1982 to 1985 fronted by Hosono and Takahashi, releasing music from Sandii, Hajime Tachibana, Miharu Koshi & more. They also produced most of the albums.
Tumblr media
10. 1983 - Kagero (Live Version from Time & Place) - Tomorrow’s Just Another Day 
This album reached 11 in the music charts - the highest ranking for Takahashi’s solo work! Tomorrow’s Just Another Day really emphasises Takahashi as a singer. 
This version, taken from Time & Place was recorded live at Shibuya Kokaido in Tokyo, Aug. 1983. 
+ peep the cute cover! 
11. 1983 - And I Believe In You - Are You Receiving Me? 
Had to include this one as it’s another favourite. Released as the B Side to the single, Are you Receiving Me? This is classic Takahashi synth-pop goodness <3 
12. 1984 - Walking to the Beat - Wild and Moody 
Sixth and last solo album on his YEN label. 
Wild and Moody is quite mellow. He sings mostly in English, hoping to pursue more of a global audience. The lyrics for Track 2 were written by Steve Jansen who was a close collaborator of Takahashi and Jansen considered him as a mentor. 
youtube
13. 1985 - Instrumental - Poisson d'Avril
Soundtrack from the comedy film "Poisson D'avril" (April's Fool in French), released in 1986. Takahashi plays the lead role! 
14. 1985 - I Saw The Light - Once A Fool 
Another fav and it’s a Todd Rundgren cover. It’s just perfect pop. 
Once A Fool was the first album from the T.E.N.T. label that was started by Takahashi and Keiichi Suzuki (of the Beatniks). With Sakamoto on keys and synths, Hosono on bass & synths & Hiroshi Sato on the organ. + backing vocals from Miharu Koshi! 
15. 1986 - Moonlight Feels Right - Only When I Laugh
Second release on T.E.N.T. Only When I Laugh feels quite fresh with more of an acoustic tinge to it. 
16. 1987 - Parfum De L'Aube - La Pensee
Music for Yohji Yamamoto’s S/S ‘87 + A/W ‘87 - ‘88 collection, shown in Paris. 
Takahashi & Yamamoto often collaborated, and YMO often wore Yamamoto’s designs on tour. In 1991 Takahashi & Hosono walked the runway for Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons legendary collection “6.1 the men” 
17. 1987 - Main Theme - Ginga No Sannin OST
Takahashi composed a lot of music for video games, and his work in YMO had a major influence on early video game music.
18. 1988 - Sea Change - Ego 
Features some of his bolder synth arrangements and arena-ready tracks, with contributions from Sakamoto. 
19. 1992 - mis - Life Time Happy Time 
Another classic pop album from Takahashi - this one flew under the radar a bit and doesn’t stand out from his collection as much as others. 
20. 1995 - Fate of Gold - Fate of Gold 
Takahashi wanted to collaborate with a wide variety of artists of all different ages, “with the attitude of: "I'll let you mature when you're mature” “ Featuring Skapara, KYON, Rei Ohara, ICE's MAYUMI and Takenaka Naoto. 
21. 1997 - Pulse - The Choice - Pulse
In September 1997 Steve Jansen and Takahashi formed UK based, Pulse and completed a 6 track album in Tokyo and London under the same name. Released on Yukihiro's own label, Consipio Records. 
A very experimental, more “contemporary” album! The Choice features vocals from Indian classical singer Sonia Mehta. 
22. 1999 - For Men - The Dearest Fool 
Takahashi returns to the 80s techno-pop sound! + another collaboration with Steve Jansen. 
23. 2002 - Sketch Show - Gokigen Ikaga 1 2 3 - Audio Sponge
After YMO decided to “spread out” (they didn’t want to say “split-up”), Takahashi and Hosono formed Sketch Show. Sketch Show had ore of an electronica output as opposed to pop. 
Sakamoto often joined Sketch Show performances and recording sessions. He later proposed they rename the group Human Audio Sponge (or HAS) when he participates.
Sketch Show played live shows at Japanese raves and a headline slot at the 2003 edition of SONAR in Barcelona. 
24. 2008 - Pupa - Jargon - What’s Pupa - Floating Pupa
Takhashi put together Pupa in 2007 - formed of Tomoyo Harada, Hiroshi Takada, Ren Takada, Hirohisa Horie, and Tomohiko Gondo. The band name Pupa is a term from fly-fishing, a sport that Takahashi loves.
25. 2013 - Shadow - Life Anew 
Aged 61 - Takahashi goes back to basics yet you can tell he’s feeling musically inspired with Life Anew, which sounds more like a rock band than anything else he’s put out before. 
Features contributions from former Smashing Pumpkins member,  James Iha.
26. 2014 - Yukihiro Takahashi & Metafive - Drip Dry Eyes (Live) - Techno Recital 
Takahashi originally assembled Keigo Oyamada, Yoshinori Sunahara, Towa Tei, Tomohiko Gondo, and Leo Imai to serve as the backing band (billed as Yukihiro Takahashi & Metafive) on his 2014 tour - this version of Drip Dry Eyes was taken from the Roppongi Theatre show, for which they were billed as Yukihiro Takahashi & Metafive. In 2015, the band changed their name to Metafive.
They disbanded after the release of their last album, METAATEM in 2021, after the release was originally cancelled due to controversy from Oyamama’s past history of bullying. 
The line-up of Imai, Sunahara, Nagai and Shirane changed their name to TESTSET and released their debut EP in 2022. 
youtube
27. 1998  - Stay Close (Live) - Once A Fool 
We end on another favourite - a joyous live version from 1998 of Stay Close. - another collaboration with Steve Jansen. 
Thank you Yuki-san for everything you’ve given the world - your legacy will live on forever <3

Some more infor about Luniju, (and her and Law... their ship name is LuniLaw) fyi there is adult-esc themes in this post so dni if under 18. Thank you!
1. Luniju has a necklace that she got from her mother (pictured below) she wears it all the time, fidgets with it, chews on it, & pulls on it causing it to tighten when shes stressed or nervous
Tumblr media
2. Luniju tends to not wear anything under her tops as her body temperature is higher then most people due to her devil fruit powers being of a blue flame, a much hotter flame then Ace's. So when she first meets Law shes in her cold clothes with nothing under the top.
3. Luniju enjoys teasing & flirting with Law and Law is completely confused by it because the boy is 100% a virgin in my mind
4. Luniju often thinks (prior to meeting Law) that maybe there was no one out there for her. (The song below is what is playing thru her head in chapter 3 of her story & whenever she questions love and stuff prior to meeting Law)
5. Luniju's secret talent is she is an absolutely amazing baker. So when a dessert is needed she gets control of the kitchen and begins baking. (She's an ok cook but that's Sanji's job not hers)
6. In Loguetown, Luniju gets a leg injury while fighting Smoker. Which in turn causes her to become a bit lazy by the time of Drum Island.
7. Luniju has a tattoo on the back of her left leg that is a list of people she cares for. In order it is the following by the time of Wano:
Vinsmoke Sora
Vinsmoke Reiju
Vinsmoke Saniji
Red-Leg Zeff
Portgas D. Ace
Trafalgar D. Water Law
8. After the timeskip Luniju has 3 ear cuffs on her left ear, pink, gold, & red. Pink represents Reiju, Gold represents Sanji, & Red represents Ace.
9. Luniju is slightly shorter than Sanji even though she's 3 years older. He teases her with that post timeskip before WCI. He's 5'10", she's 5'5". And she uses her power to make herself taller when her baby brother pisses her off
10. Speaking of WCI, Luniju ends up going with Sanji to WCI, getting her germa suit as well. She doesn't use it at first, obviously not trusting her father. She watches Sanji fight Luffy, her heart breaking.
11. Her favorite food is anything spicy. Or sour. She adores pickles but with her power she LOVES spicy food.
12. She's a total slut in her outfits. In hot temperature She's in short shorts & a bikini top.
13. Luniju has breasts in a B cup. (Aka bigger then mine slightly xD)
That's all for now. Hope you all enjoyed! If I think of anything else ill post it!
