Nitro Chiral April Fools’, 2005 - 2021
Nitro Chiral recently announced that they will probably not create any new content for April Fools’ in the future. I remember really looking forward to this every year, so I was a bit sad to hear that...! They mentioned that they might change this decision again some day, so we will just have to wait and see... To remember all of the fun jokes they’ve created throughout the years I wanted to make a fun compilation of all their previous April Fools’ jokes (or at least the ones I remember and took screenshots of). Maybe someone already posted something similar, but I had a lot of fun looking at these old pictures again! 
Tumblr media
2005 Togainu no Chi 'Vischio Jack'. This was just one month after Togainu no Chi was released! Nitro Chiral’s website was filled with Arbitro’s hobbies. He announced that the next game will be called ‘Makeinu no Chi’ which means ‘blood of the losers’... The new main visual also shows all of them bleeding from their noses lol.
Tumblr media
Some interesting new items... the Shiki body pillow?
Tumblr media
2006 A year later Arbitro hijacked the official website once more and comments on each Lamento character. He seems to be a fan of Konoe but the others aren't his type... This blog describes it in greater detail (Japanese only). Second part of the website teases the Togainu no Chi fighting game (咎狗の血 餓狗 Mark of the Dogs). I kind of wish they really made this game because the description of it sounds fun.
Tumblr media
2007 Lamento Love Love Gakuen, which was later made into a real drama CD also started as an April Fools' joke! Asato is Konoe’s childhood friend in this, Rai the student council president and Bardo’s a health education teacher. 
Tumblr media
You can still listen to some of the audio clips from the original page here! The plot doesn’t seem much different than the real drama CD they ended up making later. 
2009 Nitro Chiral mentioned they couldn’t do anything for April Fools’ 2008, but they were back in 2009 with..one of the weirder ones. They posted a teaser of their new game, ‘Sweet Potchari’ which literally means ‘sweet chubby’ and as the name suggests, they posted art of all of the sweet pool characters, but this time they’re chubby.
Tumblr media
You could check the profile description of each character and Kunihito’s description mentions that he’s very charming and “both men and women love him” lol. I unfortunately don’t have any high quality versions of these wallpapers anymore. Someone also recorded the voice lines, though listen to it at your own risk.
Tumblr media
2010 This time Nitro Chiral announces a new project called 'YO! Akira'. It’s Togainu no Chi except all of the characters are replaced by mannequins and they’re kinda terrifying. They made videos in which they re-created part of the opening and the game, which someone actually saved and uploaded, so you can still watch it here...! The whole thing is a parody of Japanese sketch comedy series 'Oh! Mikey!!' which focuses on an American family living in Japan, but all the characters are played by mannequins.
Tumblr media
This blog has some more pictures of what the website looked like. The day after this Nitro Chiral made a blog post about maybe spending too much time creating these April Fools’ jokes, but it seems like they had fun! They also had no idea what to do with the mannequins after this.
Tumblr media
2012 I think they skipped 2011 because I cannot find any information about it, so let’s move on to 2012! Arbitro took over the Nitro+Chiral website again and changed it to Bitro+Chiral...
Tumblr media
You could play this short visual novel on the website in which Arbitro introduced his new product line-up. A hataki (feather duster) shaped like Konoe’s tail, a life-sized Akira statue made of chocolate, Onnushi-sama's curry, and blue butter which is supposed to decrease you appetite so you don't have to eat anymore. After looking at these last two pictures I think I don’t feel hungry anymore...
Tumblr media
This is also the year DRAMAtical Murder was released, so they changed the website too! Now it’s DRAMAtical Mother, which is of course referencing the Mother series (Earthbound). You can find some more screenshots and information here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aoba got his own Twitter account too this year, which someone also archived here! The Twitter account actually still exists but I believe they locked it after April Fools’ ended. 
2013 This year they focused on DRAMAtical Murder too! They transformed the website into Junkshop Heibon's webstore (the store Aoba works at in the game). It feels kind of nostalgic... 
Tumblr media
That same year they also released a radio show in which Aoba and Mizuki work for Midorijima Radio Station. They invite Koujaku, Noiz, Clear, and Mink as special guests. This has been uploaded and fan translated, so I definitely recommend checking it out here! They also ended up selling this as a CD later.
Tumblr media
2014 This is one I remember very well because I remember playing the short game they released. It's called ‘Osu-Boys!! ~Ikemen Ryoujoku ☆ Paradise~’ and it's a short visual novel which features the four protagonists, except they're all really clumsy and end up in some really embarrassing situations... I am guessing the artstyle is supposed to be similar to KyoAni’s Free! anime.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t think I can show the full pictures here because the CGs of this game are quite NSFW, but you can probably still find them somewhere online. Aoba worked at an adult goods shop in this game though, nice new job (?). Unlike the browser games, this one could be downloaded, so some people probably still have it.
Tumblr media
2015 Arbitro once again returns and opens his own 'hentai' museum.... yeah. Someone uploaded the theme song they made for the website, you can find it here. I believe it’s supposed to be a parody of ‘Atami Hihokan’ (an adult museum).
Tumblr media
The website shows a map of the museum and its facilities, some more pictures can be found here. I think the art of the mascots is pretty cute this time...
Tumblr media
You could also play this minigame on the website which also featured the four protagonists. There’s still a video of someone playing through the game, so definitely check it out if you’re interested. The artstyle has a bit of a retro feel.
Tumblr media
2016 This year the website turned into the 'Raira-ryuu honpo' official homepage, an art school that specializes in the traditional art of ...boys love. All of the characters are drawn like famous Ukiyo-e paintings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of the ones above are Tōshūsai Sharaku paintings, so it was pretty easy to find which ones they were referencing!
They also re-drew all of the game covers too and the descriptions of the games were pretty funny. Midorijima was transformed into a big red-light district and the people who lived there were kicked out and are now living in poverty. I hope you’re surviving, Aoba...
Tumblr media
This time there was also a flash game which could be played on the website, a shunga (erotic painting) puzzle. You can find all of these pictures here. Like the previous year they are heavily censored and not really NSFW. 
Tumblr media
2017 This time the April Fools’ joke is a parody of 'The World of GOLDEN EGGS', a Japanese animation series set in an American-style fictional town, except this time it’s called ‘BOYs LOVE Nitro+CHiRAL’. I’m assuming most people who have been in the fandom for some time remember this one. They created a short YouTube video series and it had English subs. You can still find the videos if you look for them on YouTube so please watch them...! It’s all worth it for Konoe singing ‘I’m in Blue’ and the Rhyme fight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Youji is always the victim of these awkward conversations... Some more pictures here! You can find the YouTube videos by just searching for the title of the series mentioned above.
2019 After 2017 they stopped updating their website on April Fools’, probably because they were busy working on Slow Damage, but in 2019 they did post some extra illustrations. Not the most happy kind of illustrations, featuring the protagonists and Naito-kun apologizing because they couldn’t do anything for April Fools’ that year...
Tumblr media
2021 Unfortunately this is the last one! 2021 is the year Slow Damage was released, so it makes sense the final April Fools' joke focuses on them. It's called 'Warau Euphoria', which means ‘laughing euphoria’. It’s a reference to Japanese series 'The Laughing Salesman', so they're also drawn in a similar artstyle. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The website has a warning that you need to be over 35 years old to enter instead of the usual 18+ warning lol. They also got Towa’s voice actor to record a couple of new lines on the webpage, if you click here you can still listen to a recording of it.
Tumblr media
I’m a bit sad they might not do any of this stuff anymore in the future, but I’m also glad many people recorded videos of the old websites and minigames so we can still enjoy them even now. I couldn’t include every single screenshot in this blog post, so I tried my best to link other pages with more information.
I had a lot of fun checking out their website every year and I really appreciate the effort they put into all of this. I might update this blog with some additional info later!

I wanna ask about the JSaBsonas, actually! I'm intrigued about all of them, so if you could say a few words about each one or at least how they came to be, that would be nice, but if you want to focus on a specific one - I'm curious to know more about the sunny one, top right.
Alright,
we'll be going in this order: 006, "Sunny", "Crown", and "Pae-ki" Here we go. Forgive me for using the same old art, it's the only rendered stuff I have of them 😅
🎵 Dancing on Our Disasters by Calavera
Tumblr media
alt song: 🎵 Granite by Shirobon
The very first was 006, or "Six". All the way back in Sep 2021, I had the idea of creating a shapesona. At the time I had certain.. feelings, about JSB and my identity surrounding it. I definitely see those feelings represented in the character now.
Six is a professional JSB player in a world where the game is in AR. They're reclusive, obsessive. Attention seeking. And they dance. Oh, they dance until they no longer can.
Some of you had the chance of talking with them on April Fools of 2022; I liked that. It was very fun to write them, and I wish I could do it again. Maybe in the form of their own roleplay/ask blog, just like I always intended.
🎵 A New Day by Danimal Cannon
Tumblr media
alt song: 🎵 Same Song by DEFENSE MECHANISM
Second persona is a character I've nicknamed "Sunny."
I started a continuation of a previously failed project under a pseudonym, a persona. It wasn't until Jun 2021 when I gave that persona her design... I think it helps when I'm writing as them.
There's currently not much character story to them, other than she exists in the same world as Six. She gets burnout often but never gives up. It's not over til it's over.
I'm sure you've seen a certain one of my projects so far. Maybe it was obvious from the beginning, maybe it just clicked now, or you're still lost. Those who know, I want you to know this aswell: I'm not being sneaky, I'm just anxious. When I'm tired of pretending and gain the confidence to put my face on these projects, I do plan on just using them as the mascot.
🎵 Ecstacy by Nitro Fun & Rob Gasser
Tumblr media
alt song: 🎵 Fracture by Shirobon
Third is the crown. It doesn't have a name, and it probably won't - Jan 2024
Ok, this ones strange. I've been invited to play a certain fangame a few times, and one of their available shapes is a crown. The crown is just the shape I played with. Nothing else, nothing more. It will never be something greater, involving me.
So what about that art...well.... I think I'm just going through post-JSB:FE depression 😭 ... Recently I've been thinking about the "maybes", alot of "what ifs" And if I'll be honest with myself, I need to let those go.
🎵 happy camper by laamaa
Tumblr media
alt song: 🎵 DON'T STOP by DEFENSE MECHANISM
And last, but not least, is my actual JSB/shapesona!
They currently have no real name (idk you can call them my ingame name "GUAC" lol,) but for records sake I've been using "Pae-ki". I first drew them up in Oct 2023, around when I first played The Fangame.
They are just, me! Lover of 'Close to Me', unreasonable hater of 'First Crush', and protector of triangle players. An "OG god" as some say. (I'm not sure what else to say that isn't just me talking about myself. idk, I still play Challenge Runs, come join me on NSwitch or Steam)
I'm still working on their design.. I wanted to incorporate mementos from all the JSB-like things I got to do. They were always going to have a crown.
[it's been 3 months I'm not working on this ask anymore, I'm just happy to have it out GOOD LIRD]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY OCS!!
ik it's like- april fools day, the entire boop thing is going on, but I wanna just acknowledge the fact that four of my characters are officially a year old now
I haven't been on tumblr very long, and my characters (especially these ones) really don't have much of a presence since I rarely acknowledge them (thats a lie. two on the right i acknowledge quite a bit), but let me share my children with the world!!!
Tumblr media
I wanna go through all of their old designs and stuff and compare it with newer artwork, so let's go!!
(slight gore warning) First up is 001 (far left in image above)! His first design was made for an animatic I did about a year ago using the "Don't You Want To Be A Cult Leader?" audio. I believe this was supposed to be in the past, meaning he looks a little younger and different than he does up above. I really don't like the art for this one. I'll have to redo that animatic later. (Bonus: guy on left is 004)
Tumblr media
Most recent art of him is from a couple months ago I believe? His colors are (again) a little off for the sake of artistic liberty, and I was definitely- definitely not obsessed with "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo while drawing this. I think his design definitely has improved. The stupidly large jaw scale things on his face in the above one were sized down significantly and reshaped for two reasons: 1. I just didn't like the old ones. They looked weird. 2. lore reasons!! I definitely understand his character more now than I did a year ago.
Tumblr media
Ah, 004 (second to the left in first image)! My old man! How you've changed! I never gave him a proper ref originally, and I, evidently, did not know how to draw hands (and still barely know how!). I cleverly had hidden them away from the world. His design- just- ew. Mainly his hair was an issue for me. I think I originally really didn't like his face shape either? And honestly, old 004's design's face shape still kinda bother me. At least, on him. I could totally steal that face shape now for another character, since its changed. Oh yeah, his weird cheek-beard-mustache-thing was also an issue of mine then. Now, it's kinda part of his character. If he lacks a cheek-beard-mustache-thing, is he really 004?
Tumblr media
More recent 004 art! I have two pieces for him since his most recent one was him in a different outfit (that being a suit), but I wanna have it here since it is the most recent art of him. Ignore the guy in the purple vest. He's not there, I assure you. My, how he's changed, gosh. I didn't even realize it until now. His face is nearly entirely different, his little cheek-beard-mustache-thing is more defined, his hair is more spiky and pointy. What a man! I don't really have all that much more to say on him without spoiling stuff for his character in my fanfic with @brynthatalien (Fangs and Diamonds on ao3), but look at the man go!! I can say, however, that his character and lore have definitely improved since his original creation :]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly, I'll be grouping them together since I don't have any individual art of them: 013 and 024 (right in first image)! Fun fact: These characters were originally never meant to be together! 013 (tan hair lady) was purposefully made when I originally created these four, while 024 (pink vest guy) was actually a complete throwaway character who ended up being one of my personal favorite side characters. If you've read Fangs and Diamonds, you probably know these guys by now. Anyway, starting with 013, I really don't like her clothes in this. They were supposed to resemble Vorta clothing. The nick in her ear is not very obvious, and her nose just... looks odd. 024, on the other hand, I really don't have much to say. His hair shape looks kinda like ketchup that's just been put out of the bottle. his expression's weird in his, and his hand makes no sense. Actually, both their hands suck, but we all start somewhere.
Tumblr media
(gore warning again!!) Unfortunately, this is the most recent art i have of them, and its from a few months ago (I swear I can draw side angles now... sort of) (anatomy has barely improved) (hair texturing has significantly improved!). I really should begin drawing them more. Their designs still need updating!! Especially 013's clothes! Holy crap, her clothes have been updated several times and still don't meet my standards 😭 However, their lore has definitely been more developed from what they originally were! Particularly 013, not so much 024. 024 still needs some help in that aspect. I don't think really that much has changed about their design aside from making 024 shorter (originally was 5'2" I think, but he's now 4'11") and 013 taller (originally 5'7", now 5'11"). I have a weird relationship with... well, their relationship, but I digress.
Tumblr media
Man, I genuinely cannot believe its been a year. These four have changed so much since when I originally created them. Happy first birthday to my idiots <33333

Okay, so yesterday. (This is gonna be lonnng.)
I woke up earlier than usual and got the animals done, but Eclipse's udder looked really big and her tail ligaments felt like squish. (Mind you, I'm not great at feeling them.)
So even though it was 5 days early, it looked like she was going to go within 24 hours.
Vampire and I hustled and spent all day building the kidding stall (I'll get pics later), cleaning and putting clean hay on that section, and putting in a heat lamp, hay feeder, and waterer.
Meanwhile, Oldest was ALSO showing multiple signs of imminent labor all day, up in PA. And she really wants me there. (And again, she ALSO was early, not due for another month!)
Vampire and I worked until after dark, then went to clean the church. I had a bunch of milk that expired the next day, so I was making two batches of pudding, plus a double batch of the family favorite ham and potato casserole (for the fam), and ham, sunchoke, and broccoli casserole (for me, the nightshade-intolerant,) all at the same time. (New invention, it's a keeper.)
Oldest went to the hospital because her contractions were getting regular. She was 3-4 cm dilated and having regular contractions. They gave her multiple doses of meds, but she progressed to 5 cm and contractions weren't stopping.
She was really upset and really wanted me there. Her partner was not being very supportive. I hated to leave the goat, but video chat is a thing. I figured I could walk the guys through it if she needed help.
I can't drive in the dark, but I was about to try and just drive really slow. Vampire had skipped an entire night's sleep to build all the goat stuff. (He usually sleeps from early morning to late afternoon.) He wasn't any shape to drive, but he did call his mom, who was just about to go to bed (it was about 12:30 am at this point), and she agreed to drive me to PA. She doesn't mind driving in the dark.
I have distinctively different views than my MIL on many things, but I really appreciate her in times like this. We get along pretty well, though I have to censor myself a lot. (Especially now that the kids aren't little, so my language includes a decent amount of cursing 😂)
We left about 1:30am. Ish. It was very foggy. A few minutes after we left, Oldest said the contractions were slowing down a bit, but still coming. We kept driving, because 5 cm. But they kept slowing and finally stopped. We pulled over about 45 minutes after we left, and I was texting Oldest like mad, trying to figure out what to do. She finally told us to turn back and wait until morning. So we turned around and headed back. Fun little trip in the wee hours of the morning!
I was keyed up, but finally went to bed about 4:30 am. Woke up at 7:30. Goat not in labor.
Oldest was being sent home with a ten-day supply of anti-labor meds. After that, Grandkid will have cooked enough.
Although Grandkid is not due until right after April Fools Day, but he and goat were apparently both tricking me early! 😂
(I can't believe I stayed up and worked all day with no nap, and then went to bed so late. I did have the help of a good bit of caffeine. Possibly a bipolar thing. I was pretty keyed up the second half of the day.)

Fighter #12 - Jigglypuff
Tumblr media
- Jigglypuff is a sassy little creature. She’s a big diva who isn’t afraid to speak her mind.
- Her most prized possession is a pair of pink star-shaped sunglasses. She never wears them out on the battlefield because she doesn’t want them to get broken.
- She doesn’t know what it’s like to have a nightmare because she’s never had one in her life. Her dreams are always super nice and fun.
- Anyone who upsets Jigglypuff will be slapped into next week. She might look sweet and adorable, but she’s not afraid to throw hands if the fancy strikes her.
- If a fighter is having trouble sleeping, she'll sing them a soothing lullaby.
- Pufferfish are Jigglypuff’s favorite animals. They remind her of herself—puffy and cute, but also strong and quick to defend themselves. She has a tank with three of them in her room.
- Forget props on April Fools’ Day—Jigglypuff can prank people using her voice alone. When someone sits down, she’ll make a quick whoopie cushion noise and run away. At this point, the fighters know that it's just her messing with them.
- Thanks to Ken, Jigglypuff is a HUGE fan of Powerpuff Girls and has tons of merch from the franchise. Even her pufferfish are named after them—Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.
- She is always the first to sing on karaoke night. Once she has the microphone, you’d have to literally pry it from her hands or else you won’t get a turn. Jigglypuff never gets tired of singing and could perform all night if given the opportunity.
- She is her own number one fan.
- On the subject of fans, she makes for a great cheerleader.
- She's a major contributor to the party planning committee, which consists of all of the princesses, Palutena, Marth, Lucina, Sora, Kirby, and herself.
- When Peach first heard that Jigglypuff evolved with the power of the moon, she took it very literally and wouldn’t let her go outside at night. Red eventually picked up on it and explained to Peach that Jigglypuff only evolves when given a Moon Stone, not when exposed to the moon itself.
- Speaking of which, Jigglypuff loves roaming around outside at night. Every evening, she'll go out and sing to the moon, gracing the ears of anyone nearby with a peaceful serenade. Even back when Peach was adamant about her staying inside, she still found a way to sneak out. Nobody tells her what to do (unless she trusts their judgment).
- She's the type to punch the air in her sleep.
- Jigglypuff loves falling asleep on people. She finds their presence comforting and having them there makes her feel extra safe.
- She’s proud to be part of the original twelve. Since they’ve been with her the longest, Jigglypuff has formed strong bonds with every single one of them. She grew particularly close to Samus, as she was the only other girl in the group.
- Some of her accessories are actually gifts from the original twelve. The sun hat was from Mario, the bow was from Samus, and the flower was from Ness.
- Due to her bubbly and upbeat personality, she appears to be very energetic. However, Jigglypuff actually tires out pretty easily and needs at least two naps a day.
- She is a master at using the curler. If you want curls done, Jigglypuff’s the girl to ask.
- Tropical vacations are her absolute favorite. To her, nothing beats the warmth of the sun on her body as she relaxes on the beach, listening to the waves crash along the shore. She and Incineroar are trying to convince the roster to go on a trip to Alola.
- Leaf is her real trainer, but whenever Jigglypuff returned to Smash Mansion, Red was in charge of taking care of her. It wasn’t until only recently that Leaf decided to tag along for some reason.
- On nice days, she enjoys going outside and catching butterflies with Villager.
- She has tons of slumber parties with Samus. Usually, they start out with Jigglypuff busting into Samus’ room while she’s trying to relax. Initially, Samus will tell her to leave so she can unwind, but one look at those big round eyes and she can’t help but smile and cave in.
- Jigglypuff LOVES ribbons and bows. Samus gets her a new one for her birthday every year.
- Jigglypuff always has a first-aid kit on hand for when fighters receive injuries. She’s an amazing caregiver and will try her best to cheer up whoever she’s treating.
- She’s the type to always pick “Dare” in a game of Truth or Dare. She has nothing to hide; she just enjoys a good challenge.
- She and Kirby have this game where they copy each other for the whole day and the first one to stop loses. The loser then has to buy the winner ten bags of their favorite snack. If Jigglypuff loses, this is an easy task; Kirby isn’t picky and loves pretty much any food you give him. If Kirby loses, however, it’s a different story. Jigglypuff refuses to have anything aside from those apple gummy rings which, for whatever reason, are super difficult to find in the Light Realm.
- She and Leaf like to go fruit picking together. When they get back to the mansion, they’ll bake pies, pastries, or any other fruit-related dessert using their fresh pickings. Sometimes Kirby will tag along too.
- Jigglypuff is currently teaching Toon Link how to flirt with girls. He insists that he doesn’t have his eye on anyone, but she doesn’t believe him in the slightest. She’s dedicated herself to finding out his mystery crush and becoming his wingwoman.
- She sang opera once and made a single tear fall down Ganondorf’s cheek. No one saw except for Jigglypuff herself, and surprisingly, she hasn’t said a word about it.
- She loves giving and receiving head pats. They’re her primary form of affection.
- If something doesn't go her way, her first instinct is to pout. For some fighters, it's too adorable to ignore and they end up just giving her what she wants. For others, Jigglypuff has to resort to more devious methods of getting their attention.
- She and Kirby frequently go for rides on the Warp Star together.
- Her favorite song from the Smash soundtrack is Pokemon Center. It’s upbeat, fun, and reminds her of her travels with Red and Leaf.

[ID: A digital drawing of Stacy and Coltrane from Phineas and Ferb. Stacy is on the left with her head tilted back. She is smiling at Coltrane who’s on the right, looking preoccupied and blushing at his pink heart-shaped thought bubble that takes up the space between them. Stacy’s mom, Dr. Hirano, is in the thought bubble, holding a cellphone to her ear and winking at Coltrane. She is wearing her doctor’s outfit but without the stethoscope and with the shirt as a turtleneck instead of a crew neck.. All three characters are only drawn from the waist up, with Stacy and Coltrane fading out at the waist and Dr. Hirano being cut off by the thought bubble. Large capitalized pink text overlays the image on the top and bottom in a vaguely circular formation. The top text says; “Could you call my mom” and the bottom text says “and tell her that?” The background behind the characters and thought bubble is a simple purple cityscape with a pink sunset behind it. The windows visible on the buildings are pink as well. End ID.]
My piece for Musical Without A Cool Acronym’s April Fools Day video!
It’s a parody of the song Stacy’s Mom made so that it’s about Stacy’s mom Dr. Hirano! You can check out the video here!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0LcV5qgBt0 My piece ended up in the credits but I highly recommend watching the whole video! And do check out the carrd with everyone’s pieces for it as well!!!
My personal thoughts on the video: The video was fantastic!! It was really well put together! The song cover is really fun!! The live action moment at the end was 10/10!! And I’m delighted to see just how many pieces were created for the project!!! :D
Overall a very fun idea to see come together, I’m glad I could contribute :)

Tiger & Bunny Justice Week: NHK Broadcast
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is Hero TV Live! We are now getting closer to the first annual Justice Week. This week will celebrate the anime, Tiger & Bunny. This was thought up by fans to celebrate. The official is that this week will last from April 1 to 8. But since the day after the 8 is Easter Sunday, for this year, we will have an extra day. I hope you're all excited for what this celebration. I know I am.
First, let's see what the Sterbild Heroes are up to. They could be doing anything, folks. Remember, April 1 is not only the first day, it's also April Fool's Day.
First up, the team of Golden Rose.
>The scene now showed a live feed of Golden Ryan and Blue Rose in the break room.
>Blue Rose opens refrigerator and screams to see a snake in it. But when she gets a closer look, she saw it was only a rubber snake.
Tumblr media
April Fools!
Tumblr media
(sorry if the image is too small, you know the policy) That did get me a bit. I thought it was real.
Golden Ryan: (proudly) Yeah, I'm awesome!
>Golden Ryan sits down and opens a box of cookies that he believed came from a fan. But when he does...
Golden Ryan: (freaking out) AHH! Spider! Spider! Spider! Spider! Spider!
>But when he looks closer, he saw that the "spiders" were actually spider-shaped cookies with a blue rose with them.
Blue Rose: (laughing) April Fools!
Golden Ryan: (also laughing) That's a good one! I never would have thought of that one.
Mario: Sounds like fun. Now let's check on Origami Bison.
>In the training room, Origami Cyclone and Rock Bison were doing some minute training before going to the celebration. (Pretend their faces are blurred out to protect their identities.) Bison was opening his water bottle when it suddenly sprouted flowers from the opening.
Tumblr media
Happy April Fools Day, Bison.
Tumblr media
(he may not look like it, but he is laughing) Ha! Ha! That's a pretty good one.
>Origami opened his bag to get his shuriken. But when he opened it, he squealed to find a giant cockroach inside. But it turned out to be a plastic one that was playing La Cucaracha.
Rock Bison: (laughing loudly) April Fools!
Origami Cyclone: (breathing heavily) Oh. That gave me a few grey hairs.
Mario: Who could tell? You're hair's already shiny. Now, let's see Sky Emblem.
>In waiting room, Sky High and Fire Emblem were just resting a bit. Fire had just sit down to read a book. But when they opened it, the book was completely blank except for one sentence that was repeating over and over: April Fools.
Tumblr media
April Fools!
Tumblr media
Not a very clever trick, but I'll take it.
Sky High: Glad to hear it.
>Sky High, who had taken off his shoes to rest, put them back on. But when he did, they made a squishing sound. He looks in to find that he shoes were filled with chocolate pudding.
Fire Emblem: (laughing a bit) April Fools.
Sky High: (also laughing) That got me good! I thought John or Jonjon got to my shoes again.
Mario: Now that was pretty sweet! Now, for Dragon Cat.
>Dragon Kid and Magical Cat were hiding behind some dividers at a restaurant when someone walks in.
Tumblr media
Hello? I'm suppose to be meeting my daughter for lunch here.
>A waiter leads the woman to a table that's reserved. The waiter already has a dish out.
Woman: Spegette and meatballs? Well, I guess I could- (shocked) Oh my god!
>The woman jumped back when she saw it was actually worms. But when she takes a closer looks, she saw they were actually gummi worms. Then, Dragon Kid and Magical Cat come out of their hiding place.
Tumblr media
Got you good!
Tumblr media
Happy April Fools, Mama.
Woman: (smiling a bit) I'm not too happy with you both ganging up on me, but it was still a clever trick. Well done.
Magical Cat: Sorry. I'll make it up on you on Mother's Day.
Mario: The Gummi Worm Trick. That takes me back. I wonder what He Is Black are up to.
>He Is Thomas and Mr. Black were hiding in their manager's office under her desk. Thomas was wearing a Friday the 13th mask holding a toy chainsaw while Mr. Black was wearing a Michael Myers mask with a toy machete. Then, their manager, Carlotta Lindell, comes in.
Tumblr media
Of course I would forget my keys. My mother always said I'd forget head if it weren't glued on.
>Carlotta just picked up her keys when Thomas and Mr. Black jump up from behind the desk, brandishing their fake weapons. Carlotta gasped a bit, then they took of their masks.
Tumblr media
Gotcha! Happy April Fools!
Tumblr media
... Ditto.
>Carlotta said nothing... except turned on the lights and swarm of bats dropped down on them.
Mr. Black: (freaking out and activating his powers) Holy shit!
He Is Thomas: (gasping)
>But they saw they were actually rubber bats from office's Halloween party half almost half a year ago.
Carlotta: (smiling a bit) April Fools.
Mr. Black: (chuckling nervously) I.. knew they were fake.
He Is Thomas: (doubtful) Really?
Mario: Guess that one didn't work out. Now, last, but not least, the moment you've all been waiting for... Tiger and Barnaby! ... Wait, what do you mean you can't find a live feed of them? ... Oh well, let's take a look at this car commercial they left us this morning that stars them. Let's take a look.
>At first, it looked like a simply white car driving through the hills... until a man in a zombie costume jumps up screaming.
Mario: (screaming) Oh my god!
>Then, something else appears on screen with a live feed.
Tumblr media
Happy April Fools Day!
Mario: (almost breathless) Wow! That really got me. And I think it got a lot of our viewer as well.
Barnaby: Thanks, Mario. Just thought we'd open Justice Week with a bang.
Kotetsu: You bet. Now... we better run before Agnes comes screaming at of for that video.
Mario: Well, there you have it, folks. This is how the heroes are spending the beginning of Justice Week and there's more to come.
This is Hero TV Live!
NOTE: I'm sorry if this is coming too late and it's not on Twitter, but this is the best that I could do. I hope you all understand.
P.S. I think you know which prank video Kotetsu and Barnaby used. I decided not to actually put a link in this because it scares the shit out of me. (When I first saw it, I got so scared, I was screaming and foaming at the mouth.)
Please don't send me that link.
Let's believe HEORES.

Family, Friends and stalkers,
This is a bit of a read. I took the time to write it, so please take the time to read it.
The following transcript is a short (true) story about a life event that I have recently been through and have processed. Enjoy. Or don't.
In March of this year, after tearing my LCL in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and after being encouraged by my wife Nicole, I decided that I needed hit the gym to help the healing of my knee, to get healthier and to set out with a new goal. I decided that it would be fun to compete in a body building competition (Men’s Physique).
After discussing this idea with Nicole and already having her support in this endeavor, I hired IFBB (International Fitness and Body Building Federation) Pro, Jeni Briscoe. Jeni is a local in my town and has YEARS of body building experience and training. She seemed up to the task.
On April 1st, I started my journey. A journey that I entered blindly, not knowing how it might or might not change my life. Jeni got me on a proper eating program right away and into a gym regiment. She has been whipping my butt into shape for the last 6.5 months. She spent a lot of time mentoring, training, answering (a LOT of) questions and giving me loads of encouragement along the way.
The first couple of weeks were just getting used to the routine of being back in the gym – it had been 3, maybe even 4 years since I had set foot in one. I started with a 6-day gym plan. Being married, a father of four and working full-time didn't give me much free time. The only option was to start waking up at 4:15 a.m. during the week, to be at the gym for 5:00 a.m. - this was rough. I spent 1.5 hours at the gym each morning and by the time I got to my desk at work, I had already been up, and active, for 4 hours.
At about the 6-week mark, getting up so early was becoming a little easier and I received a new exercise plan. I don’t know why, but even this felt like some sort of little milestone – I had made it to the next step. I believe the food plan still stayed the same at this point - lots of protein and veggies. A true whole-fool meal plan.
Shortly after the 6-week point, our household got very sick and I missed my first day(s) at the gym. I missed 4 days during this time and it felt like a devastating blow. I lost a lot of weight (from being sick) strength and even a little motivation. Though, with the continued support from Nicole, and a little push from Jeni, I was back on track and was back to making progress.
Fast forward to August. The early summer months were successful. I was lifting more, losing pounds and inches when and where needed. I had missed 4 days through June and July (3 Saturdays), due to family obligations. I was feeling much more motivated going to the gym now and 4:15 a.m. was starting to feel “right”.
Every year in August we make plans for a family vacation. Like usual, we had previously made plans to go down south for this year's summer vacation. I had had a few chats with Jeni about this pending vacation and was in the right mind set to be prepared (food prep & finding a temporary gym) for the trip. I don't remember why, but unfortunately, I missed 3 days at the gym leading up to the trip and missed a pretty important check-in with my coach the Friday that we left. The trip is long (1,400km) and we drive it in one shot, leaving at midnight. That being said, the drive down was pretty easy. I only ended up having only a few (handfuls of) chocolate covered almonds along the way.
We arrived at our first stop and was served homemade macaroni and cheese one night and pizza the next. I couldn’t help myself (sorry Jeni). For the rest of the trip I was a *little* more on track and I was able to get to the gym to put in some workouts. This week was definitely a pretty big setback, and I came out pretty discouraged and disappointed in myself. End August.
September came around and I realized that I was 6 (very short) weeks away from stepping on stage. If no one has ever told you the mental toll that a competition like this (being judged on your physical appearance) plays on oneself, let me tell you… it is a tremendous strain. Wait – that is an understatement. Let me put it this way, if curling 45lb dumbbells is strong, then your mental game better be curling upwards of 75lb or more!
By the end of September, I was putting in between 100 – 140 minutes of cardio a day, as well as, 60 minutes of weights each day, 7 days a week. My meal plan had also changed drastically. Healthy, but drastic.
October 15, 2023, Nicole and I headed out to Grande Prairie, Alberta, by ourselves (thank you so much Jen & Dan) where the competition was held. In preparation I had to shave (bic style) my entire body and got a *shudders* beautiful spray tan - the first in my life. My first base coat of tan was administered Saturday evening shortly after we had checked into our room and my second coat was sprayed on at 4:45 a.m. (thankfully this was a 30 min sleep in from the rest of the week) on Sunday morning.
At 8:20 a.m. I was down in the athlete “staging” area getting my pre-show “pump” on. Lifting some weights, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. At 9:15 a.m., or so, we (all of the competitors) were lined up. Standing behind the stage. Looking back at the last 6.5 months felt a little surreal. This couldn't be real, could it?
Jeni was there, backstage with us, smiling, giving me a thumbs up and asked how I was doing. “Terrified.” I replied. My legs were shaky, nerves and adrenaline taking over. There were guys standing right next to me, guys who were absolutely shredded, all whom I was supposed to compete against. Not only that, but never, have I EVER, in my 36 years of breathing existence, ever liked having my shirt off in front of people. Especially in front of a crowd of people – a crowd of people there to specifically JUDGE my “unshirted” body. It's just not my thing.
“Next contestant, number 92!”
“That’s you – you’re up! Good luck!” Jeni said.
Deep breath, Inhale. Just like I was about to push a 450lb leg press. Exhale. Up the stairs I went. Blinding lights beating down on me. I tried my best not to squint into the brightness of the lights. I could barely make out the edge of the stage.
“Perfect – I’m going to step right off the edge and fall straight onto the judges’ table.” I thought.
I didn’t. I found my ‘X’ and stood on it.
The next thing that ran through my head was, “Ok, you’ve practiced this at least… 10 times. You know the poses.”
45 degrees, chest up, shoulders up and back, right hand on right hip, twist at the waist, face judges. Oh ya! Smile! Don’t forget to smile. Then I heard it – a cute little “Ow owww!” from the crowd. I knew that “ow ow”. That was my “ow ow”. Nicole, out there, somewhere behind the blinding lights, somewhere in the crowd. Looking at me. Proud of me. And that’s all it took. I was confident. I was proud. Of me. I did it. I took a huge freaking step and I fought myself – my doubts, my insecurities, my thoughts of giving up and throwing in the towel. But I never did and I couldn’t help but smile. Who cares what the judges thought. Who cares what the other competitors look like or what they had done to get where they were. No one but me, Nicole and Jeni know where I started and what I had done to get to that point or how hard I worked or what I had sacrificed.
After the posing we had a 15-minute intermission and got to go back to the staging area for more “pumping”, to shake off the nerves, have a chat with the team, go pee, etc. I got to talking with a few of the other competitors, gave complements to those in my categories and basically got to know them a little bit better.
Generally, there was really great comradery between all of the competitors and was really a pretty awesome group of guys. There were a couple who soured the bunch, but it was easy to ignore and not be bothered by them.
After the intermission, we went back behind the stage and lined up for the “final judging”. Same shredded guys, same judges, same me. The nerves were a lot less this time around and I was just happy to be a part of the whole thing. This time around I was even able to give Jeni a couple thumbs up.
“Men’s Final – True Novice” was called. My first class. I was the last to be called out on stage. We had to go through the posing routine again.
“Next contestant, number 92!” Again, up the stairs I went. It went by so fast the second time around. We all stood off to the side of the stage after posing for the final judgment.
“In third place, Men’s True Novice, contestant number 92!”
I stood there stunned. It felt like a few seconds, but in reality was probably only a fraction of a second. Thinking in my head if I had heard the right words, or if I had just imagined or hoped that those were the words over the speakers. Then, in an instant I snapped back to, waved to the crowd and judges and stepped to the 3rd place mark. A bronze medal was placed around my neck and that was that. It didn’t really sink in. "Did I do it? I think I did." I don’t really remember much after that except for walking off of the stage and congratulating the 2nd and 1st place winners.
Right after that, I was around again, lined up on stage for my height class group. I think I was still in shock from the True Novice group because I don’t even really remember being up on stage.
“In second place, Men’s Physique Group B, contestant number 92!”
“Ow oowww!” from the crowd. My Nicole.
I walked to the second place spot, Jeni came out and presented me with my trophy this time, she shook my hand, “I’m proud of you.” She said.
I never imagined, 6.5 months ago, that I would have ever been on that stage, let alone, being handed some hardware. This process has been one of the simplest, most difficult things I have ever done in my life. And I think I loved it.
I can only speak as a male, so I say to any man who reads this – I think that every man, and I don’t care if you are in your 20s, 30s, 70s or anywhere in between, if you can financially afford to do so, this should be one thing that should be on your bucket list. And it should be sooner than later. If you can afford to do so, it shouldn’t be in the new year, or next month, or next Monday – it should be now. Don’t do it to be better, or skinnier, or stronger and more defined than the guy standing next to you. Do it to be better or stronger and healthier that the you you are right now. You and e everyone around you will be so proud of you. And yes, you DO have the time, you just have to be willing to make it.
Thanks for reading.

Headcanon #268: April Fools’ Day
While Shadow was growing up on the ARK, April Fools’ Day was a fun event. He was young and Maria was sweet and innocent, so it never occurred to either of them to do anything mean-spirited. The scientists who created Shadow naturally developed a soft spot for the being they’d brought into the world, and everyone who encountered Maria couldn’t help but love her, so the two kids got away with every cute, creative little prank they pulled. Everyone involved cherished the day.
Once Shadow came to Earth, however, he was surrounded by teenagers and young adults who had a very different idea of how April Fools’ Day was supposed to go. Everyone from Rouge to Omega to Sonic pulled pranks on him every single year, pranks that were far harsher than he felt they should be. Even staying in didn’t help; they found a way to get to him every year. It was one of the few times they could get a reaction out of the stoic hedgehog, even if he got annoyed or upset, so he was a favorite target.
Rouge went too far one day. She replaced the special mousse Shadow uses to give his quills shape and volume with whipped cream instead. She hadn’t known how essential it was to the signature style he was so attached to, but she still couldn’t help but laugh when his quills fell flat. He snapped and ran out of the house in the rain, not listening to her apologies. He was too emotional to even consider teleporting, so he just ran until he came to the one place he’d always felt safe, calm, and free of judgment.
Amy answered her door. Before she could ask Shadow why he hadn’t texted or called first, the sight of his dripping wet, drooping quills and sad eyes made her heart break. She immediately pulled him inside and held him until he stopped shaking.
She sat him down on her couch with a towel and listened. He told her everything--all the way from his days with Maria to his current pain--knowing she was the only friend who wouldn’t think he was being silly or overly dramatic. By the end, she was caught between horror and indignation on his behalf. She encouraged him to take a shower at her house and fix his quills while she “took care of some things.”
He never did find out what exactly she did to make it stop, but he did know that every April Fools’ Day after that brought peace. Occasionally, the two of them would break it just between the two of them with silly little jokes, but they were just as gentle and well-meaning as the ones Shadow still treasured from his youth.

How do you think each of the Papas, Copia and ghouls celebrate their birthday??- Do they like to throw huge parties, keep it low-key, or forget it altogether :p
TERRIBLE NEWS
around a year ago me and [REDACTED] came up with astrologically significant birthdays for everyone and i put them in my calendar but every time one passed i didn't have enough time to prep or post about it throughout the day like i wanted to (if you remember we did this for aether and it ended up being this actual real life birthday (which we didn't plan i'm just a mystical god and the stars work in my favor)). so here's that, and ill tell you all the birthdays we planned for them and everything we had prepared. under the cut
Papa I: (Dec 24th - Capricorn) This old man doesn’t care about his birthday one bit. He was always one for tradition but not much for the center of attention. He only allows people to celebrate in the form of a quite drink in front of the fire after an entirely unrelated special dinner, and he’s far too old and “too busy” for a party these days
Papa II: (Feb 11th - Aquarius) He goes all out every year, and though he usually isn’t home for his birthday, everyone at the church turns tf up. It’s a few people’s favorite birthday to celebrate because they know he’ll be in a good mood and the party will be a lascivious free for all for three days. He rests and recovers from the bender at home on the flight to vegas to get the real party started with all his friends. 
Papa III: (Oct 20th - Libra) While his older brother’s party happens at home, Papa III’s birth-week means never going home. Every night they’re out at a new fancy restaurant, at a hot new night club. He brings back at least three women to his hotel room every single night, and finishes the celebrations with a four day trip to Bali to relax in the sun for a while (or keep partying, no one really knows what he does alone out there) 
Cardinal Copia: (May 30th - Pieces) He doesn’t have the biggest party, and how could he when his predecessors take at least a week away each year, but his is the most wholesome family fun for everyone. They all get together and have a nice feast, drink nice wine, and talk about all he wants in this new big age of however old he really is (no one is very sure). They close out the evening in the parlor while everyone gives him his gifts - sweaters for his rats, rat food, rat accessories, socks.
So the ghouls have some separate birthday traditions to normal human and to paraphrase: 
- Every year they give each other birthday punches for how many years they’ve been alive, but they’ve been alive too long so they just do how many years they’ve been on earth for. They argue about who gets to punch who every year
- They aren’t allowed to have pinatas after The Incident 
- the happy birthday song makes their ears bleed but the papas insist and out of nowhere throughout the day copia will pop up and start singing. they scatter. 
Dew: (April 2nd - Aries) They tie him to the steeple of the church for the entire day. They used to gift him complete freedom but not anymore - not after the incident. He thinks the because his birthday is the day after april fools that whatever pranks he pulls will have no consequences because you can’t get in trouble on your birthday. When he’s tired out enough from struggling to get free for eighteen hours, the ghouls put him in nice clothes take him to the bar and let him loose once again on unsuspecting bystanders. Every year they get kicked out of a new club. Aether carves bars of soap into food shape and turns a blind eye - at least four people get him a lush gift card for the same reason. Rain lets him carry around his special rubber duckie all day. 
Rain: (March 10th - Pieces) He treats his birthday similar to Copia, in the way that no one really goes crazy, it’s just a night off from being overwhelmed. Aether will take him alone to the aquarium, or wherever he wants to go in town, maybe they’ll drive all the way to the coast to see the ocean, and come home for a nice dinner of chicken nuggets on fine china and grape juice in wine glasses. He makes everyone eat the same thing.
Cirrus: (July 3rd - Cancer) Goes with Cirrus, Swiss, and Dew to a concert every year. Whoever is in town, or if her favorite band is playing a few towns away. They get all dressed up, drive out, get drunk and watch some live music, and usually don’t come home til halfway through the next day. And are usually hungover for two days after that. It used to be just her and Cumulus, but she invited Swiss when they got together, and Dew still thinks they’re a package deal. (But aren’t they?) Everyone just gives her money for merch, drinks, or a new outfit for the show for her birthday. 
Aether: (July 23rd - Leo) - His birthday gift is a day off from taking care of everyone else. They send him out for a spa day and a night at the nicest hotel they can find. He spends time in the hot tub, gets every single spa treatment on the menu, and orders himself the most expensive dinner from room service so he can properly enjoy whatever movie or show he never gets to watch at home. Everyone is under strict instructions not to call him unless you can see bone, and even then, take it up the Cardinal. (he still checks his phone every ten minutes to be sure, though.)
Cumulus: (Sept 17th - Virgo) She gets free reign over Copia’s office. That’s all she wants. She gets to go through every restricted paper and confidential file and read all of his notes. By the end of the day she knows every secret there is about the church. All the ghouls distract Copia for the day to buy last minute gifts so she can snoop without being interrupted. There’s a drawers she never opens anymore, and she still hasn’t been able to look Copia in the eyes since the first time she did. The rest of the night looks like an average birthday with a cake some candles and a few presents.
Swiss: (Nov 5th - Scorpio) Disappears every year under mysterious circumstances. No one actually knows what he does on his birthday but the night before he just disappears. Comes back on the 8th like nothing ever happened and tries to gaslight everyone into thinking he was just in his room the whole time. It took them years to even find out when his birthday was. Aether and Cirrus tried to install a tracker in his phone, shoes, and wallet a few days before one year but when they checked the gps each item was in a different corner of the world. 
Mountain: (Nov 24th - Sagittarius) Has no clue its his birthday because he doesn’t keep track of time it just happens around him. This makes him the perfect victim for a surprise party, and surprised he is when Dew wakes him up with a punch in the face. Mountain chases him all the way to the common room where they’ve set up streamers, balloons, and a table of his favorite snacks and drinks. Swiss gives him gardening tools every year, no matter how many times he says he doesn’t actually garden, and no one else gives him more than a card because they know he doesn’t care (and what are you supposed to give a guy who doesn’t even want to own a pair of shoes)

Puppy Toy
Last April Fool’s fic and of course this is for the very lovely @iwaasfairy
Pairing: Iwaizumi x Reader
Genre/Warnings: NSFW, Mistress!Reader x Puppy!Iwaizumi, Pet Play, Cock Stepping, Feet Licking, Bondage, Cum Play, Sex Toys 
A/N: Of course I needed to use some elements of pet play and puppy dynamics for our resident puppy girl Fairy~ Too bad it’s probably not in a way Fairy ever wanted it used in the context of Iwaizumi LMAO 
You perk up as the front door of your shared apartment opens, warmly smiling as the muscular figure of your boyfriend rushes towards you, laying his spiky head in your lap and burying his face in your stomach as he wraps his strong arms around you. Giggling, you stroke his head, wondering what all the girls who fawn over him at the gym would think of their sexy trainer acting like a shy little boy. 
“Hi, baby. Long day?”
Iwaizumi pulls away just enough to pout cutely up at you, emphatically nodding his head before nuzzling into your stomach once more, making little pleased sounds as you continue to play with his hair. 
“You’ve helped people all day. Why don’t you let Mistress take care of you now? Sounds good?”
The words are barely out of your mouth before Iwaizumi is tumbling out of your lap, scrambling to remove his clothes and reposition himself until he’s naked and kneeling between your seated legs, hands obediently clasped behind his back, posture straight and eyes submissively cast down towards the ground underneath you. 
Chuckling at how enthusiastic your little pet is, you bring one foot to his already half-erect cock, carefully but firmly stepping on the pathetically leaking thing and smirking at how Iwaizumi’s breath hitches, rapidly growing underneath the sole of your foot until he’s at full length, cock hard and throbbing. You know he’s close, right on the edge of an orgasm, but the night has barely started and you lift your foot off of his shaft, bringing it to a drooling mouth and smiling fondly as he obediently laps you clean of his mess before wiping his saliva off on his chest, purposefully swiping against his pebbled nipples. 
“Go prepare yourself. I expect you fully ready by the time I join you in the bedroom.”
You watch in amusement as Iwaizumi bounds away from you, not bothering to even stand on two legs as he scampers away on all fours and when he’s out of sight, you finally stretch your own legs and waltz over to the chest of toys you’ve accumulated over the years, taking your time to ponder and select an array of items before making your way in the same direction as your lover. 
Iwaizumi’s barely recognizable, the black leather dog shaped bondage hood he wears hiding every aspect of his face other than his beautiful green eyes, but you affectionately coo at the baby blue satin and white lace collar he wears around his neck, the pretty chiming bell reminding you what a helpless pup he really is despite his muscular frame.
“Present for me.” 
There isn’t a bit of hesitation as he turns around, perky ass high in the air, his toned back arched down as he rests his upper body on the ground, the fluffy tail plug in plain sight. You don’t think you’ll ever get tired of how sensitive your little pet is, wildly shaking his hips as you play with the plug inside of him, his cock dripping pre-cum everywhere as it swings with every slap on his rump. It’s pathetic really, how you’ve barely done anything yet this strong man is barking, literally barking and howling, crying and begging Mistress for more, to cum.  
Well if he wants to cum, he’ll cum. 
He realizes the mistake he’s made when you growl at him to kneel in the corner of the room, approaching him with a cruel smile on your face, penis pump in your hand. And you maliciously laugh in his face when he begins to sob, tears and cries visible and audible even through the thick material of his hood as you strap him in, attaching a leash to his cute collar and wrapping strands of pretty ropes all around him, cyan string painting a pretty picture against his olive skin
“Oh don’t be such a cry baby. If I knew you were going to get this loud, I would have shoved my used panties into your mouth beforehand.” 
That only makes him cry louder and you sigh, rolling your eyes in exaggerated annoyance as you start the machine, razor sharp smile splitting your face at how he writhes and futilely fights against his restraints, more sloppy tears and whines escaping him as his cock is relentlessly pumped. 
“Have fun, puppy! Make sure to cum as much as you want, okay? After all, whatever you spill is going to be your meal. So try and make sure we can fill up your dog bowl as much as possible later!” 
And with that you turn on your heels and leave the humiliated man to suffer and cry, making sure to get his pretty bowl ready for this evening’s entertainment~

Tumblr media
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?) Lucas can’t really go without affection. He needs a smooch at least before he leaves the house or when he says goodbye on dates. He wants to be reminded that their S/O loves him and that he loves them. It’s as easy as this.
B = Before (What were they like when they had a crush?) Dude would try to impress. With bad jokes. With flexing his guns. He would always ask his crush if they want to come with him and the guys to do whatever. And if they agree he wouldn’t really be able to hide his excitement. It would light a spark of pure joy in his eyes. It would be very obvious really.
C = Confession (What was their confession like?) Regardless of his looks and height Lucas still is a very childish man and he’s not that old either. I would honestly go that far and say that during his life he wasn’t the one confessing often. He usually got confessed to. So when it is actually his turn he would probably get all shy around his crush and he maybe asked Kun for advice as well on how to tell them and what to say since he is not the very best with words.
D = Date (What was the first official date they went on?) I am guessing something cheesy. Lucas may or may not be a romantic person but being all nervous about fulfilling expectations and doing a solid job he would take their S/O out to go an amusement park. He is a child really and his sometimes subtle playfulness is probably what attracts his S/O to him as well.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?) Please don’t come for me on this one but I recon he would choose a text. As I mentioned in section C = Confession I imagine him being this popular kid in school everyone had a crush on at least once a week. (We’ve all seen the pics he’s adorable.) That being said he maybe got too used to dumping people interested in him. I won’t say it is the same with his S/O as it was with high school sweethearts but he might just fall back into old patterns due to convenience. Breaking up would still hurt him and still be difficult.
F = Fights (What would fights look like? What are things that upset them?) Honestly: Fights with Lucas would be a pain mainly because he doesn’t see where he’s wrong or what the issue exactly is. He is a very loyal person once fully committed but maybe not the most understanding one.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?) His emotional way is very gentle. His physical way in terms of hugs and holding hands is too. Simple mind - Simple showings off affection other things we don’t discuss here it is SWF, please
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?) Just like Johnny his arms are insanely long and wrapping them tightly around his S/O is just way to nice to not do it constantly.
I = Intimacy (What is their favorite form of intimacy? Do they have problems with it?) He knows why he’s in SM. He got casted off the streets for his looks. He also really radiates the vibes of only being there for the fun and the people only. Lucas is very confident in the way he looks and he is aware of how many thousand people find him insanely attractive. I am pretty sure there are close to no problems when it comes to intimacy but that is something very personal because we know that everyone has at least one issue with themselves which we sometimes could never tell.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?) He gets jealous. Not much but he does in general. I am not sure how exactly that would display or how he would show it but overall: Yes he does.
K = Kisses (Are they a good kisser? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?) I hope he is. Okay no honestly, hear me out lmao. Lucas ... is either very excellent at kissing or he isn’t. I just look at him and I really hope he is because that would be so grate and elevate him one step closer to being the complete package. He meets the height requirements. He has the hands to hold his S/O. He surely has the lips as well. Which is also where they like to kiss/be kissed the most.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?) Lucas is the perfect personality type for getting along well with kids. He is goofy enough to play around with them and fun and fool but he is also calm enough to not out-child them and keep an eye on them. He is guiding their playfulness in a way only a few people can.
M = Messages (How often do they text his S/O?) He texts them A LOT when he’s bored. During practice or some random meeting he would get distracted by his phone and text them about how bored he is. Also he would often take pictures or snaps of stupid little things he wants to show them but they’re not around. Speaking of SnapChat: Filters.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?) Nights out in clubs are hot and fun. Nights out in bars (if they are dates) are hot. Nights out in movie theatre would be so much fun. He would totally get this slushies that turn your tongue in different Colors but would also hold his S/O during scary parts of the movie even though he’s scared himself. Acting all tough
O = Opinion (Would they ask for their S/O’s opinion a lot? How important is it in terms of decisions?) He would ask for their opinion but mainly because he thinks he has to or that they would want to be ask. If it’s about his personal matters. When it comes to mutual decisions it’s different because well of course he asks for his S/O opinion. What they say matters to him and he wants both of them to be comfortable. So when they say that sofa is ugly - it’s ugly.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?) Getting on his nerves is quite hard I assume. He probably would be the one getting on his S/O’s nerves (most of the time by accident tho.) If it’s something about them that actually bothers him he will be patient and ask them to maybe change that behaviour for a long time before actually admitting how much it is bothering him and eventually raising his voice.
Q = Quizzes (How does a bar trivia night teamed up with them look like?) A complete mess. Lucas once admitted he is not the smartest one and I adore people who are aware of that and own it in their own way. He would still try his best to not let his S/O and maybe other teammates down. BUT he is still an important part of the team: The one who chugs everything for the sake of the cause. IDK I just see him being able to drink a lot. He radiates this frat boy energy help
R = Remember (How much do they remember about their S/O or their relaitonship in general?) Lucas does his best but he is forgetting a lot. He writes it down in his phone. For example there could be a list for his S/O's family member’s birthdays and all their important anniversaries. He may still forget them tho. When it comes to memory Lucas knows it’s not his forté but he is trying hard.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?) He is maybe one of the most protective boyfriends you will find in whole NCT. He shields his S/O from wind or rain, he corners them in crowded subways. He flags and gets in cabs first. He will shove between his S/O and other guys dancing at clubs casually so they don’t notice. He will tell people to fo k off if they are obviously bothering his S/O. He does it all.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?) He might be sloppy with everyday chores but he will rather often take his S/O on spontaneous coffee dates or bring home take out aka steal something from the dorm Kun cooked.
U = Unique (What makes them unique as a S/O?) What makes Lucas unique as a S/O is definitely his awareness of his ... stupidity? Now I can see people coming for me for saying this but he once said he is not very smart and he is probably correct about that. His abilities lay more in the practical and emotional/empathic area. So what makes him special is is ability to pull his S/O’s guard down. If they come home from work super stressed he will put their mind at ease by simply talking to them about not so heavy or challenging topic. He will be their save heaven. A place where they don’t need to pretend or to impress. Lucas loves his S/O 190% for their character or quirks and maybe even for their intellect as well but he doesn’t compete with it and is real about himself.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?) SO. MUHC. He has sloppy days tho but they will mostly never catch him with greasy hair or anything. And also he is in shape and plans to stay that way.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without their S/O?) He would. If he is not with them for a long time he can feel how he is losing his inner center or balance. Lucas would be fine on his own but honestly exactly just fine.
X = X-Ray (How transparent are they?) Lucas is an open book. He can’t hide anything and he is so easy to fool on like April 1st or some prank they want to play on him. If he’s feeling down they’ll see it. If he’s happy they’ll know it. if he truly loves them it will be on the local news.
Y = Yuck (Everyone has flaws. What is theirs?) Bruh okay. Well. He leaves his underwear everywhere. Or his socks. and he leaves the toilet seat up.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?) Being asleep he grabs everything and pulls it in close. There is no escape. And I feel like he will wander towards the mid of the bed so if their S/O is avoiding being hold custody they will have no where to go but the sofa or wake him up.

Wind
Part 7 of my Hero of Wild series! Wow we’re here already
I’ve had this idea for so long and I finally get to write it! Uhh I don’t have any clever jokes for April Fools, so take this instead. Honestly the most April Fools thing about this is I didn't get a chance to edit much sooo sorry about that.
Hope you enjoy!
Wind narrowed his eyes at the scene before him.
Why did Twilight get to be best friends with the mysterious new hero!
Of course Wind was happy Wild seemed to be finding his place among the others. It started when they found out he had the cooking skills of a castle chef. No, scratch that, his skills had to succeed any castle chef. He had tried food in Warriors and Twilight’s Hyrule Castles, and nothing beat what Wild could do with time and a proper set up!
Man, he was hungry.
Not the point!
The point was, Wind watched Wild silently laugh at something Twilight said to him, Wind couldn’t help but huff. Jealous wasn’t really the way he would describe his feelings. Wind was happy when he saw Wild getting along so well with Twilight, especially with how shy he seemed to be around other Hylians.
That was another mysterious trait about Wild. His name, Wild. It implied someone savage and not caring of others and their rules. That wasn’t Wild.
Wind discovered what his name really meant. If Wind’s name was the gentle tuseling of hair from the high seas, then Wild’s meant the course but soft feeling of grass beneath one’s feet.
Their names were similar, not just in the lettering, but in the feelings they both provided. When Wind thought of their names, he thought of freedom. And with Wild perhaps a few fires along the way.
And Wind was gonna be his friend dammit.
~
His sign was outdated, the other Links weren’t the only ones who didn’t understand him. Like many things, sign has evolved without him. The only one who truly understood that was Zelda, and she was in Hateno.
Wild didn’t have many memories, but he did remember talking to her after they finally got along, only with her. Verbally. No matter how hard he tried he couldn’t even remember what his voice sounded like.
Would he have a similar accent to Zelda? Posh and regal? Probably not, accents could be changed and acclimated and it had been over one hundred years since Wild had heard anyone have that accent but Zelda, and perhaps the ghost of the king. No, his accent would probably develop into a mix of things.
  As for his voice itself, would it be soft and quiet? Loud and course? Did the two feel different when you spoke? Sure Wild had made noises before. He laughed when he was alone, sometimes the noise just bubbled up and he couldn’t stop it. But talking? Wild didn’t know how, and that was embarrassing. He could read, he could write, and he could understand how other people spoke. He couldn’t speak.
He had watched how others talked. He tried to copy it. When they said an ‘oh’ sound, they made the same shape with their mouth. He was positive he was doing it right, he copied it exactly, but nothing pushed passed his mouth. Nothing of importance anyway.
Just as it had the past couple of days, Wild’s mind flashed back to Sky’s offer. He had seemed so genuine, it didn’t seem to be something the man would offer simply to be nice. But perhaps the man hoped Wild would forget about it, maybe Sky himself had already forgotten about it. Still, there was just a small ember of hope in him.
He imagined himself finally keeping up with conversations, laughing loudly, maybe even surprising Zelda. He shouldn’t let himself get lost in fantasies but he couldn’t help it, not when it was a small possibility. There was no telling if Sky’s offer was truly genuine, or that Wild would actually be able to follow through and speak, but what if he tried. 
Still that would require reaching out, approaching Sky and asking for help with one of the most basic actions one could perform, something many did without even thinking about it.
Yet Sky understood that, didn’t he? He had been open with Wild, told him of his childhood struggles. Perhaps there really was no shame in asking. Wild let out a low sigh, not aware of the figure stalking him from behind, eyes narrowed slightly, plotting.
~
Now, how was he to approach him? Wind mused on the answer as the group walked forward. No one had claimed this Hyrule as their own yet, the best they could do is walk the main path and search for a town, and keep their guard up.
Truthfully Wind didn’t know Wild well enough yet to determine the best approach. Would a direct question work? He had tried that before and had been mostly brushed off, but that was before Wild knew who they were. Wind decided ultimately to be honest and say whatever was on his mind, Wild could probably tell when someone was being dishonest or not genuine. 
Twilight bid Wild a short goodbye before speeding up to talk to Time near the front of the group, and Wind saw his chance. Wind took a deep breath and trotted up to be beside Wild, giving the fellow teen plenty of room as the rest of the group tried to. They did the same thing for the more antisocial Links at the beginning of their group as well.
“Hi Wild! Breakfast this morning was really good.” Wind complimented, trying to start up a casual conversation. It was true, the food Wild called ‘crepes’ had absolutely blown Wind’s mind. Maybe Wild would be more inclined to talk if it was about something the teen enjoyed, and Wind could tell he really loved cooking.
‘Thank you’. Wind felt success at the small sign, preparing to talk again before Wild continued his signs. ‘There are a lot of flavors’. It took Wind a moment to remember the word for flavors, but Wild signed slow enough for him to figure it out. ‘Depends on the ingredients.’  
“I bet! Feel free to experiment with ingredients, I'm sure we’ll all thank you for it.” Wind joked, chest feeling light at the small smile he earned from Wild.
‘Will do.’ Wild joked back, and Wind bit his lip at the lull in conversation. Now or never.
“We don’t know each other very well.” Wind observed. “Can we ask each other questions?” Wind didn’t know what making friends was like in Wild’s Hyrule, but at Outset it was very forward, hopefully he wasn’t crossing a line. Wild’s steps seemed to falter for a minute, and Wind felt another spike of worry, before Wild nodded.
“Really? You don’t have to.” Wind assured, fearing Wild was only saying yes to be polite. Wild nodded once more, and Wind’s eyes lit up in excitement.  
“What’s your favorite color? Your tunic is blue like mine! Where’d you get it? Where’s your Zelda? Where are you from? In your Hyrule I mean. Do you have a favorite animal? What-”
“Woah there Wind.” Warriors physically stepped into the very one-sided conversation, placing a firm but gentle hand on the sailor’s shoulder. “Give him a minute to answer.” Warriors noticed the wide eyes Wild held under his hood and his twitching fingers.
“Oh! Um, sorry Wild.” Wind rubbed his neck, embarrassed. He just couldn’t decide what to ask first!
‘Don’t have one. Zelda made it. In Hateno. Everywhere. I like horses.’ Wind’s eyes lit up, excited someone had kept up with questions, but halted himself from asking anymore.
Wild however, felt sadness bloom in his chest further. 
He wanted to say that his favorite color depended on the day, on what marvels his Hyrule had in store for him. 
He wanted to say Zelda made it for the champion, her duties as a princess, but she was a scholar at heart and she was pouring over books and reaching out to leaders to make her kingdom better as they spoke. 
He wanted to say that he loved his horses and the companionship they provided, but he thought bears and elk were fun to ride and foxes were so cute with their fluffy tails and huge yawns he only killed them when absolutely necessary.
He wanted to say that, but he didn’t. Because he couldn’t.
Before Wild could raise his hands and ask a question in return, a shout was heard from the front of the group.
“Watch out!” Twilight yelled, unsheathing his sword. What? Wild’s head whipped around, eyes scanning for any sign of a threat. He summoned his sword with the others, lucky enough to have a royal broadsword with minimal damage. The rest of the group stood in different stances, ranging from wide to more narrow and showing how different they were from one another. It appeared they were all waiting for the enemy to make the first move. And make the first move they did.
 A creature launched out of the trees in an instant, right towards Warriors, who expertly lifted his shield  to protect himself.
“They’ve surrounded us!” Called Legend, blocking another creature attacking him from the other side of the path. Wild could now see they looked like a different version of Lizalfos, green scales shimmering in the sun contrasting the pale milky yellow of their stomachs. They didn’t look like his Lizalfos, their heads rounder and bodies thicker, but that was something Wild would need to get used to.
“Keep an eye out for the black one!” Warriors shouted to their group. Black one? Did they not have black Lizalfos? Something in Wild’s head screamed at him and he summoned his shield from his slate and parried a strong hit from yet another of the creatures. They really were surrounded, but Wild was used to fighting this amount by now. He raised his hand to his slate to summon his bomb arrows before pausing in growing realization. What was he thinking? He would hit his comrades!
His hesitance resulted in a strong punch to the chest, Wild’s breath caught and he stumbled back, running right into Sky behind him who was fighting off his own Lizalfos. Wild quickly recovered, almost dodging the next attack before realizing that if he did the creature’s sword would ram right into Sky’s chest. Wild clumsily blocked, chest constricting, desperate to get away and cursing himself for his own weaknesses. Quickly he lurched to the side before the Lizalfos could raise his sword, and ran right into Legend this time.
“Watch it!” Legend snarled, not even noticing who it was in the heat of battle. Wild’s eyes darted around, looking for any opening, anything to do. If he could get into a tree he could jump out and take them out with his arrows, no, no opening. He continued to use his sword and shield, hyper aware of all the bodies surrounding him that weren’t enemies.
And at the worst possible moment, Wild’s shield broke. He really should have expected it.
The Lizalfos made a deep growl in its throat, smashing its shield into Wild’s head causing the boy to stumble and fall, landing on his back, his sword skidding away from him. The Lizalfos didn’t hesitate, raising its sword to plunge into Wild. This was going to hurt…
With a cry from the left, Wild watched in awe as a small body parried the sword above him, Wind. The boy swung his sword in an arch, cutting right into the Lizalfos chest. It was shallow, but it allowed Wind to gain the upper hand. How had he made that big an arch without hitting anyone? Wind launched himself from the ground, mercilessly driving his sword into the Lizalfos’ chest, crashing them both to the ground.
As the other Links finished up their own fights, ensuring they were truly out of enemies, Wild stared in awe and shame. Everyone had taken out at least one enemy, everyone but him. Wind had to step in and save him. Wild’s cheeks were bright red, an uncomfortable heat across his face, ears and neck. Without thinking Wild yanked his hood higher, chest constricting. They were all looking at him, they were all seeing how inept he was at this.
“Are you okay? I think he got hit in the head!” Wind called out to the other Links. Oh, so that’s what felt wet on his face. Oh well, head wounds bleed a lot. Wild silently begged Wind not to draw anymore attention to him. He just wanted to forget this ever happened. They were all looking at him.
“I have a potion!” Hyrule called, rushing over. Wild shook his head as Hyrule approached him. He was fine, he didn’t need it. He had already messed up.
‘Fine’. Wild signed as Hyrule sat in front of him, perhaps normally this would be fine, but everything was too much and Hyrule was too close.
“Wild, you’re bleeding.” Hyrule stated, reaching for Wild’s face. Wild quickly flinched away, hand flying towards his slate in momentary panic. Hyrule’s eyes widened, realizing what he had done and pulling back. “Sorry! Sorry just… you’re bleeding. We have extra don’t worry.” Once again Hyrule offered the potion, holding it far away from himself for Wild to grab. Wild didn’t know Hyrule all that well yet, their shield surfing adventure aside, but he knew the other boy would probably persist until Wild drank, and the last thing Wild wanted to do was to make a large spectacle. Well, more than he already had.
Wild reached out to grab the potion, ensuring he didn’t touch Hyrule’s fingers, before slowly sipping, only consuming enough to heal his head wound. Almost instantly he felt fog he hadn’t even known was there clear up, allowing him to relax, only slightly. There was still an uncomfortable heat in his cheeks and ears. He handed a skeptical Hyrule the bottle, gesturing to his healed head no longer gushing bright red. Hyrule reluctantly clipped the almost full potion back onto his belt, but didn’t leave Wild’s side.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Wind approached Wild. It was too much, it was all too much.
‘I’m sorry’. Wild signed shakily to Wind, eyes focusing anywhere but on the younger boy who had perhaps saved his life. ‘I’m sorry’. He signed once more, this time in the direction of Time and the others. That could have gone so much worse, he could have gotten someone killed, specifically Wind. 
“Wild, it’s okay we’ve all had to save each other’s asses before.” Wind piped up, but Wild only shook his head, he lifted his clammy hands, but nothing would form. What could he say? That he was sorry he put them all in danger? That he was sorry he almost blew them up without thinking?
“Teamwork is hard when you’re not used to it.” Wild’s shocked eyes darted to Hyrule in front of him, the other boy having a look of sudden understanding of what had happened, and that understanding dawned on the rest of them. 
“Do us a favor and don’t almost electrocute all of us like Hyrule did.” Legend smirked at Hyrule’s red cheeks and betrayed glare.
‘I almost blew you up’. Wild signed without thinking, feeling regret pool in his stomach. He expected a scolding, a remark about how reckless and dangerous he was, how they shouldn’t let him fight. He did not expect them all to burst out laughing. 
“Great, there’s another one!” Four groaned, but he didn’t sound very upset.
“Like you’re one to talk!” Warriors laughed, dodging a kick from the smith.
“Let’s not stay here for too long.” Time announced, however the clear smirk on his face told everyone how amused he was. Honestly, Wild was scared he would get a verbal lashing, but Time would probably wait for later to do that.
“Are you okay to walk?” Hyrule asked, and while Wild appreciated the concern he was confused how a small head wound would impede his movement at all. Still Wild shook his head and stood, ignoring the slight tremble in his legs from the feeling of the world imploding just a moment ago. Wild had to restrain himself from rolling his eyes at how pathetic he was being.
It seemed unnatural to be on the road again. The others chatting even while keeping a far sharper ear out for what lurked along the path.
“Hey Wild.” Wind greeted once more.
‘Thank you’. Wild signed with as much feeling as he could have while not making eye contact.
“Oh! Uh yeah, no problem. Those bastards are slippery.” Wind smiled at him, the same as before, and Wild felt himself calm slightly. “Listen…” Wild cocked his head slightly at Wind’s sudden serious tone. “I know…  I know what it’s like, to feel embarrassed when someone else has to save you. I’m the youngest so…” Wind trailed off, gesturing his hands vaguely, but Wild could understand what he was trying to say. “It, well, it took me a while to realize that getting help isn’t something you should be ashamed of. I used to feel bad whenever someone stepped in to help me, but Warriors told me that it’s okay to accept help, and I had forgotten that. That’s what being a group is. Don’t feel bad.” Wind smiled up at Wild, who looked as shocked as he felt. It’s okay to accept help. It was such a simple sentence yet it sent Wild reeling.
‘Thank you, Wind’. Wild signed, and Wind lit up once more at the sight of his name sign he was so proud of. He nodded and he and Wild spent the next hour exchanging questions and answers. They were all simple, nothing that dug deep, and Wild wasn’t as overwhelmed as he thought he would be. Yet something still weighed heavily on his mind.
~
Sky was well aware of the company he had. The others had taken to doing their chores before settling in. It was a general unspoken rule that if they had the opportunity, Links that had their tasks done could do whatever, just as long as it was near camp or someone else knew where you were and you were within someone else’s eyesight. It certainly helped them all, especially those who were used to traveling alone. The tasks weren’t really assigned, most of them just did what was closest and others filled in the rest. Sky had already ensured that Epona was properly taken care of while Twilight secured the perimeter, and was content to work on his latest woodworking. It wasn’t the only hobby he had, but it was nice for evenings he was content to sit back and observe.
Currently though, his main point of interest was awkwardly shuffling behind him. Sky wondered if he would come around in front of him to talk, but ultimately decided to be the first to speak. Sky shifted from where he was leaning against the tree to face Wild, meeting questioning but troubled blue eyes. He had been wearing his hood around camp less, and Sky wanted to think that was a positive sign. It seems being acknowledged only troubled Wild more. 
“Hi Wild! Is there anything wrong or would you just like company?” Sky offered, always so considerate for his feelings. This only made Wild more flustered as he stood there, awkwardly shuffling his feet. “Wild?” Sky pressed, no impatience, only concern and confusion. Wild squeezed his hands close to his chest before raising them. 
‘Is your offer still open?’
