#you did mention that these are for an Au Akane so you could also try editing these out of her sprites themselves
Note
Every time I see your sprite work, it just makes me want to make a sprite edit of Akane with the design I made for her in my "She Was Saved" AU (An AU based on the idea of Akane surviving the events of DRA), but I've never done any sprite work so, do you have any tips?
Ok ok so, first things first, i wanna make it clear that none of my sprites are made from scratch, they're sprite edits, hence why i always tag them as such. Every single one of them used some canon character as a base for the base sprite (that one fitst sprite where the character is just standing there with a simple expression) and a handful even have canon sprites uses as bases for poses. Just figured i should make that clear so there's no confusion here.
While I'm not sure if I'm the best at giving tips n stuff, here's what i could think off;
I think the most important tip i can give anyone who wants to get into sprite editing is MAKE A BUNCH OF LAYERS‼️Save things separately just to be sure rather than merging them because that almost always leads to more time spent later down the line. While the amount of separate things certainly varies from artists to artists here's the one i use for my edits.
The app i use (Ibis paintX) allows me to make folders with a bunch of layers to them so i use them to keep stuff more organized.
On the first pic well have a folder with the base sprite, one for the different poses and in Beni's case two for the different eyes she has (one for the normal eyes and one for the ones that are part of the glasses, normally i only have one layer with all the eye variants)
On the second image I've opened the folder that holds the base sprite, or should i say just sprite since it's in this folder that i organize everything that belongs to one specific sprite when I'm making them as to not get myself confused. Anyways, you can't see in the screenshots but the first layer has her glasses, second has her eyebrows and mouth and the third has the eyes.
Fourth has the main body lineart and fifth has the main body colors, please keep those separated as by doing so you make it easier to add those lil effects onto the character's faces on certain expressions + having the lineart of the main body always helps when sketching and connecting the different arms to the main body.
Lastly you got the arms, but ideally you should make the arms/poses in a way they can be placed over the body layers since that just makes things easier to put together, i just have this habit of placing the no pose arms under everything else.
When editing i make the different arms and eyes in advance so that when i start making the different sprites i can just duplicate the canva with the first one a thousand times and everything will carry along with those. Saves time in the long-run + you don't need to separate all layers on them (lineart, colors, shading) since they're just parts there's no problem in just merging them together.
A very important thing to note tho i that if the character has glasses or any accessories that you plan on removing or moving around in some pose/sprite this accessory should be made in a different layer from the main body, this makes editing easier than if you had to just erase and refill the part where the accessory was in the sprite you don't want it to be in.
A similar rule should be applied to the character's hair, if they have short or mid length hair you can just add the whole thing to the main body sprite, but if the character's hair is long you should make this bluk/back part of the hair in a separate layer placed under the main body layers. This also apllies to any back accessories.
Here's Akira as an example; she has one layer for her glasses, one for the back/bulk of her hair and one for the guitar case she carries.
These are essentially the basics of if, so let's go over to some actual tips.
Make the sprites on a small canvas.
Since the Danganronpa another games are made on game maker the size of the character sprites is surprisingly small, while I don't think you should just do it on the same canvas size as the actual sprite, it's good to have a smaller canvas so that the lower amount of pixels gives it a look similar to the in-game sprites + as you can see by mine, they don't actually look low quality at all.
(if curious, the go-to canvas size i use for most of my edits is 773x1020)
Use other sprites as references/bases
Especially if you're just starting on making sprites, use the canon ones for bases, references or even just straight up trace them. This will make the sprite look closer to canon and will start making you undertand the elements that make up the style of the sprite, do it enough times and soon enough you'll be able to make poses on your own without needing a sprite from the game as a base.
Remember! What's wrong about tracing is not the act of tracing itself, as the act of doing so is a great exercise to help you learn, the problem is when you do it and claim you made it 100% on your own. Since these are sprite edits, there's not a problem in doing so.
Observe and learn what makes up the style you're trying to replicate
This is hard to talk about since it really is something that comes with practice, I've been making sprite edits for like 5 years now so this stuff is like written on the walls of my brain by now. Just try to look and analyse the sprites and slowly you'll start seeing patterns and small onto them that you didn't noitce before, like how Linuj's sprites have a bit if line weight to them but are still on the thinner side, how he tends to make the hands a bit on the smaller side, how when he color the character's skins he makes the area near the top of the head a lighter shade than the rest of the skintone, the way he usually makes the character's mouths, and even some more complex things like how the male characters will have very little to no eyelashes while the female characters tend to have a whole lot of them, etc.
At the same time, there's no shame in deliberately ignoring some of these things. Personality the small hands REALLY bother me in a few cases and i tend to just make mouth shapes on a whim instead of trying to stay 100% close to the style. It's just a question of messing around and figuring stuff out, it won't look perfect on the first go, but overtime you'll start to get the hang of it.
#i hope this small sprite editing tutorial helps! if you have more questions feel free to send them#these are sorta all i could think of for now#you did mention that these are for an Au Akane so you could also try editing these out of her sprites themselves#instead of making a whole base and multiple parts just pick the sprites and edit the new design over#it could possibly be easier for a beginner? i do feel like making them in this form leads to better results tho#anyways. fun fact! i used the eyelash thing as a subtle form or trans coding on Akira's sprites :]#i love you small details that people won't notice unless pointed out ❤️#hyena ramblings#sprite edit#edit#sprite editing tutorial

Discovery (Mistake)
Here's more Ghost AU fic, this time for the second day of THH's Chapter 3.
Warning for mentions of suicide.
When he woke up, he wasn't surprised at the fact that he was feeling tired even after having slept pretty well, considering... everything that had went on the last two days.
What surprised him was that, after he almost ate floor thanks to his tiredness making him trip over his feet, he realized that Utsuro was holding him.
A revelation that also shocked the ghost once he realized what he did.
"How did you did that?!"
"I don't know!"
"What do you mean that you don't know!?"
"I mean that I don't know! You tripped, I didn't wanted you to fall, and I didn't even realized that I grabbed you until you started to gawk about it!"
"You did-?!... Ok, screaming at eachother isn't going to help, so let's go back to the beginning..."
It was clear that there had to be a reason why Utsuro was able to touch him in that specific moment, considering that, once he realized that he was holding him, his arms once again started to phase through him, making him fall like if they hadn't been holding him just a second ago, but what was that reason?
He spent his entire time in the shower trying to solve this puzzle with Utsuro, the ghost averting his eyes off him until he got confirmation of him not being naked anymore, with the bulb of an idea only coming to him once he put a cleaner set of clothes, all of them identical to the clothes he was wearing when he, and everyone else, was first trapped inside this building, immediately telling to Utsuro before it left his mind:
"Maybe it's some kind of ability that ghosts only can use if the want to hold something, or someone, is strongly felt. That could be the reason why you couldn't touch anything when you first became a ghost, but you were able to hold me just now. Still, I'm not sure if I'm right, so it would be a good idea to check on it later. That's it, after I check on Ishimaru, of course! I still remember that!"
Utsuro just nodded as an answer, before they left the room, and went to meet with the others at the dining room.
---
The moment he saw Makoto trip, he just reacted without thinking, not realizing the fact that he was holding him until he noticed his warmth against his cold chest.
Possibilities and reasons why started to flood his brain, all of them finding their roots in the dreadful idea of the Divine Luck somehow having returned to him.
And having left Akane behind in the process.
He couldn't help but to feel gratitude towards Makoto when he started to talk to him, and giving him his unbiased suggestions to what had really happened in that moment, even if his musings sometimes sounded too similar to the capabilities of that cursed power he once had, because something in his voice just made him feel that, no matter how similar it could be, it would never be that thing.
Once Makoto arrived to the dining room and meet with the others, the first thing he noticed was Kiyotaka's absence, not being able to find neither his black hair nor his white uniform between the people in the room.
He had to be in his room, still grieving Mondo's death. Probably. Hopefully.
Because it would be a better possibility than what his brain was conjuring in his mind anyways.
Either way, whatever conversations the members of Class 78 had during breakfast were kept short and concise, the only thing of notice being a new rule being added against using the Alter Ego they found the previous days if it wasn't needed, in a bid to protect it from Junko's diligent watch.
An Alter Ego that was awakening feelings of familiarity within him.
When he first saw the AI, shining brightly in the screen of that laptop, and hidden from prying eyes in the lockers of the bathhouse, the memories of "Yuki" finding the Alter Ego Yamato Kisaragi made before dying flooded his mind, making him lose himself in them for a moment.
Things had repeated once again: A brilliant inventor dying in a killing game before he could do anything of notice, but leaving behind an artifical intelligence behind as his last gift, and hope, to the classmates he left behind.
The only difference was that there wasn't going to be any Divine Luck to protect it from Junko's gaze.
And once she finds it, the only things that would remain of it would be a broken computer.
And a broken promise of hope for the world.
---
The first thing Makoto did after finishing his breakfast, and leaving the dining room, was to run towards Kiyotaka's room and see how he was.
Only to not receive any response.
No matter how many times Makoto rang the bell for his room, no one answered to it on the other side, and worry was starting to bleed through the luckster's expression.
This was his signal.
He phased through the closed door, only to find a still living Kiyotaka, the student sitting all alone on his bed and mumbling to himself something he couldn't hear. A more throughout look at the room itself also showed him that there wasn't any sharp implements, or poisons, in the room the Moral Compass could use on himself either, letting him leave the room, and return to Makoto, with a feeling of... relaxation in his chest.
Makoto's expression also became calmer once he told him what he saw, clearly also relieved that Kiyotaka hadn't done anything bad to himself since the last time they saw him, a reaction that didn't really surprised him.
Because, after all, he didn't needed any words to know that Makoto would never forgive himself if Kiyotaka ended up taking his own life, and return to Mondo on the other side, all alone in his room, while the rest of their class ignored his plight.
After spending some more minutes waiting on the other side of the door to Kiyotaka's room, to see if the Moral Compass was going to answer his calls, only to be ignored, Makoto returned to his room, but not before he gave Kiyotaka a promise to return later through the reinforced door, even though the soundproof nature of the room would leave his words unheard on the other side.
Once again, he couldn't help but to let his mind wander back to the past, to the pain Akane felt that now Kiyotaka was sharing with, to the point of not even realizing that he was back in Makoto's room until the boy tried to hand him a pen, followed by four little words:
"Try to hold this"
Oh yeah, Makoto had promised him to help him with whatever had happened before that morning, with that entire thing of having been able to hold him for a second without any warning or explanation.
He had... forgotten about that.
The first attempt to grab the pen ended up being a failure, like he expected it to be, but Makoto wasn't going to give up so easily, so the luckster continued with his attempts to make him grab the pen, trying again and again to find the words necessary to give him the little push he needed to become tangible again.
But soon enough, this entire thing started to grate on his nerves, not seeing any point to it besides irritating him with the knowledge that he couldn't interact with the world without help anymore, no matter how many times Makoto tried to encourage him, eventually being driven into growling in impotent frustration at another predictable failure.
"So, this isn't working..." With his hands covering his eyes in his frustration, he wasn't sure what was Makoto doing, but he sounded like he was sitting on his bed, probably also being left exhausted by all of these constant failures "I think it would be better to stop for now, and see if we have more luck later, you know...?"
"What?" He couldn't help but to mumble, slowly uncovering his eyes to look at Makoto, who was laying down on his bed, looking at the ceiling of the room.
"Yeah, stressing ourselves out about it isn't going to help out at the end, Utsuro. Just... let's rest up for a while, and try it again later, ok?"
He... didn't knew what to say.
So, he just stood there, thinking.
Thinking about how, since the day he was born, he was never allowed to fail anything he tried to do.
No matter what he did, what he wanted, his curse of a luck always made it sure that he always found himself becoming successful on everything he tried, taking away from him any excitement he could have felt, and sending him into a spiral of existential dread and ennui from which he wanted to be free from.
Freedom he thought he found through the promises of a Despair-driven world that Junko Enoshima gave him the day they first met.
And the day he joined her crusade for the world.
But now, he had died, and was left stuck as a simple ghost, so disconnected from the living world that he couldn't do anything, failing to even do something as miserably easy as grabbing a pen.
It was... a strange feeling.
He wasn't lying when he found himself being stressed out, and annoyed, at his inability to grab a stupid pen Makoto could easily hold right in front of him, but now that his aggravation was dying out, he couldn't help but to feel joy when he thought about it.
After spending the gods know how long being forced to do everything he tried to do right thanks to the Divine Luck forcing its hand, he was finally failing at doing something.
He was finally free. The Divine Luck had finally left him once and for all.
And it was all thanks to that fateful killing game.
In a way, joining the Ultimate Despair gave him exactly what he wanted, but, at the same time, it didn't came without some costs:
Not only he dragged everyone in class 79 along with him to his fate, but he ended up losing Akane too, in a way.
And he couldn't help but to feel sad about it.
He didn't understood why he felt like that towards them. After all, they shouldn't mean anything to him.
They should have been just means to an end, that he should have left behind once he got what he desired.
So why he felt like this about them?
An answer to his question never came, because, in that moment, the sound of the doorbell ringing cut through the silence, and threw both him and Makoto out of their thoughts, with the luckster getting up of his bed to answer whoever was calling him, only to stop on his tracks in surprise once he opened the door.
Curious at his shock, he decided to go take a look to the mysterious guest, only to be also surprised at the identity of the person on the other side of that door.
It was Kiyotaka.
Who immediately begged him to see Alter Ego.
---
When he got up to see who was calling him now, he wasn't expecting to see Kiyotaka on the other side of the door, nor the fact that he was begging him to let him see Alter Ego, clearly unaware of the true nature of the AI.
He couldn't help but to feel conflicted about what to do. Kyoko had told them to avoid visiting Alter Ego unless strictly necessary, to make sure to keep him safe from the Mastermind, but he couldn't just pile up onto his misery, especially now that Utsuro had told him that a sad fate could be in store for him if nothing was done.
So he decided to guide him to where Alter Ego was.
"Makoto Naegi, what do you think you're doing?!" He could hear Utsuro half-whispering-half-screaming at him, but he ignored him. Not only he had to keep himself quiet with Kiyotaka at his side, but he also had to deal with crossing paths with Kyoko on the way to Alter Ego.
Thankfully, he was able to easily convince her that they were just going to get some food, but there was something in her eyes before she left that told him that she didn't totally believed his words.
He just hoped that she didn't decided to visit Alter Ego while they were still there. He already was dealing with Utsuro's reprimands, it would be unbearable Kyoko decided to join him.
The rest of the trip to the bathhouse's dressing room went more smoothly and, soon enough, he was on the computer's keyboard, telling Alter Ego what was going on and writing for him the questions Kiyotaka desperately wanted to give to the deceased Chihiro, for Alter Ego to answer for him.
It was clearly hard for Kiyotaka to tell him, thanks to the pain he was feeling, but he found himself not being surprised with the first two questions he told him to write for the AI:
If he hated Mondo for what he did to Chihiro.
And if he hated him for not having been more observant with Mondo's emotional state.
Even with Alter Ego answering him that he didn't hated him, and that neither Chihiro nor Mondo would hate him either if they were still here, Kiyotaka didn't looked convinced, so Alter Ego decided to take a different approach to the conversation.
Taking Mondo's appearance, Alter Ego gave him a tough pep-talk to Kiyotaka, trying his best to imitate the biker's personality the best he could from what Chihiro had told him about him before both their deaths, with the hope that the Moral Compass would actually hear him, and recover from his depressed state.
And hear him he did. Maybe a bit too well, if he may add.
Because, the moment he heard the AI's words, he started to laugh. And his hair became white. And his eyes lit ablaze.
Soon enough, and accompanied by a goulish scream, the boy at his side ceased to be the Kiyotaka he met the day they ended up trapped in this killing game, being substituted by a... new him, like he said before leaving the bathhouse.
An him more brash and loud.
An him more like... Mondo?
Either way, he wasn't able to follow him, and get any answers, because he was stopped by an angry Kyoko, who immediately reprimanded him for having broken the rule she had gave them earlier that day and forced him to go back to his room.
Just like he had feared, this decision of him got him chastised by both Utsuro and Kyoko.
And talking about Utsuro, when he finally took a look to him while he returned to his room, his angry glare towards him, which he tried to ignore while he and Kiyotaka were on the dressing room, had been replaced by a confused expression, probably caused by... whatever had happened with Kiyotaka, because the moment he finally got into his room, the first thing he heard from the ghost's mouth was:
"What the fuck was that?!"
He didn't knew what to tell him, not having any idea of what had happened either, but the night announcement playing on the monitor made it clear that they weren't going to get any answers for today, so he went to bed, with the plan to talk to Kiyotaka the next day about it.
And to ignore the feeling that he had made a big mistake.

Hear me out:
Blue Lock Psycho Pass AU
I don't think I've seen anyone mention this before?
If you don't know what Psycho Pass is: there's a review about it that i quite like
[as usual, spoilers ahead]
Let's start off with Kougami and Ginoza: when Kougami's hue deteriorated to the point where he could no longer be an Inspector, I feel as if Ginoza half blames himself, and half blames Kougami for essentially abandoning him (like Masaoka did).
and who in Blue Lock has abandonment issues...? (yes, a certain grape and his bff who's also his treasure but I'm trying! to make this non-shippy...sort of)
so if Reo and Nagi are Ginoza and Kougami respectively,
Isagi would be Makishima (the antagonist in Psycho Pass).
Look, I just find it interesting how both Reo and Ginoza (who are my favourite characters) have self-worth issues and both their partner/best friend left them to chase after someone else who's superior to them in some way. so.
And I've been reading some posts theorising about what if Isagi is the actual villain of Blue Lock...so Makishima!Isagi was born.
Also, if we want to keep up the theme of 'Isagi is really smart, what an all-seeing prodigy', he fits the role of Makishima, who is always ten steps ahead of his targets/pawns and is an anomaly by birth.
As for the Enforcers...Bachira, of course, probably Shidou just for kicks, and Chigiri gives me Yayoi vibes...
But wait! then who's Akane (the protagonist of Psycho Pass)? This is where it starts to get a little crack-y. I think Kunigami would unironically be a good fit as Akane, since he was all about being a hero and stuff.
A young fresh Kunigami who thinks the world is upright and Sybil's word is law, who then joins the MWPSB and becomes disillusioned.
(Also, imagine him questioning the other Enforcers like "why is Isagi (the antagonist here) so obsessed with Bachira-san?" and the rest of them just snickering and not telling him shit).
So the main unit would probably be:
Inspectors- Reo and Kunigami
Enforcers- Bachira, Chigiri, Shidou, Nagi
Rin (and Sae?) would probably be the other Inspectors with another unit
I'm also trying to sneakily fit Hiroi into this au somehow bc I really love the guy, he's so wholesome-determined-ordinary guy.
#fanfic authors this is my humble offering#im trying to write a reonagi version of this but it'll probably never see the light of day#bc im too insecure and ashamed lmao#but psycho pass aus are always fun to think about#its such a wonderful show too#blue lock#psycho pass#isagi yoichi#reo mikage#reonagi#bachisagi#chigiri is just Done#nagi seishiro#bachira meguru#some blue lock prompts

IT HAS BEGUN
/bakeneko ryokan AU twitter event spoilers/
Ahh!! I was looking forward for this one!! And it’s here!! Ahhh!!
unfollow me everyone this is all i’m gonna talk for the rest of the week
Ahem. Excuse me.
Anyway, I figured we’d be “playing” this AU event as the Minamoto siblings (Kou, in this case), but I was kinda surprised we didn’t start already at the inn. But it’s nice to see this little introduction!
Poor Aoi-chan, looks like she was harassed to the point of quitting her job… From what I understood, apparently she told Teru she was going to come back for her diary (that she got from Akane?) after she got a better job (?)…
But then she invited Akane to go with her to the spooky inn, that’s infamous for UMA sightings and people turning into cats.
Hm.
I’m unsure whether Aoi is already thinking about “disappearing” (like whoever was suicide baiting her wrote), and invited Akane to go with her for one last pleasant moment, or if her choosing the cursed cat inn isn’t that intentional, and the place is calling to her instead, because she may feel unhappy. Maybe it’s both. Maybe it’s neither. Maybe it’s something more… normal? We’ll see.
Watch it be a third, crazy option like, Aoi was a cat/bakeneko/nekotama who tried to fit in the human world, realized it sucked and now’s going back home with her bf lol
“If could see that beauty one more time… I would gladly turn into a cat…!”
Did I ever mention here that I love Natsuhiko? Because I do. I love Natsuhiko. The funniest guy ever, hope you and your lady meet again and live happily ever after on cat heaven, Natsuhiko (lol).
On a side note, I’m curious about Natsuhiko’s earring. It’s green in the colored merchandise for the cafe, a color commonly associated with Sakura in JSHK. It’s also just one, so it might be just a fashion/style kinda thing, but it makes me wonder if Sakura may have given that to him.
Or maybe Natsuhiko just bought it because it reminded him of her. Either way, I like it, and it’s, to me, a nice parallel to the brooch Sakura always wears, which matches Natsuhiko’s hair color.
Look at them. Loook at theeem!!
Sumire peaking from behind (Hakubo’s too tall lol). Hakubo wearing a suit. They’re so cute.
Also, lol at their small exchange about political marriages. It kinda looks like Hakubo was trying to placate/dissuade the paparazzi and Sumire took him too literally. Or maybe, in a way that’s classic them, Hakubo didn’t know that Sumire wanted to get married to him (even if it was a political marriage). And likewise, Sumire didn’t get that Hakubo likely disliked the notion that he would marry her only out of political gain, since he emphasizes on the absurdity of a political marriage. (In other words, he’s saying he’d marry her out of love)
Well, who knows. Glad to see they’re still bumbling about, the idiots.
Makes me wonder what they’re gonna do at the ryokan. Is it going to be their honeymoon? Are they eloping? Just hoping to get away from the press and their yakuza families? Did their families send them there? I mean, I doubt it, but gotta think of all the options
I am… pretty amused that they are part of the yakuza, though. I was just thinking a while ago, that if you were to write and adapt Hakubo’s story belonging to a more modern time, he’d probably be part of a mob family.
Same with Natsuhiko’s situation? Him meeting Sakura as a child and being persistent in seeing her again was one of the scenarios I had considered for them before. As in, what their backstory might be like. Good to see it’s an option in one of the AUs, haha.
Though, this one might be a common theory among the fandom? I actually don’t know.
Very peculiar that Amane is already a nekomata here, but Tsukasa doesn’t even seem to be a bakeneko (if the flashback and newspaper are anything to go by. his cat ears were also a headband in the original shikishi).
Sooo. Considering the myths around neko mata and bakeneko, I’m going to assume that:
a) Tsukasa and Amane might not be related in this AU;
b) Amane took the form of his owner (Tsukasa);
c) Amane might have started the fire.
Also, judging by Teru’s reaction towards Natsuhiko’s declaration of love, and the assumptions above, it makes me how is the “general” relationship between kaii and human in this AU.
I mean, kaii in this seem to be part of daily life; no one calls Natsuhiko crazy for seeing a beautiful bakeneko lady, nor does anyone seem to bat an eye at Hakubo the oni appearing in the news. But maybe relationships between kaii and human are looked down on? Thus, why Natsuhiko’s a “freak” for loving Sakura, according to Teru, or why the news seem to jump at the conclusion that a relationship between Hakubo and Sumire could only amount to a “political marriage”.
Teru’s comment also makes me wonder… if something’s gonna happen to him, either in this AU or in the main series soon. You can’t judge other people (specially their relationships!!) without shit happening to you. JSHK’s “talk shit get hit” cosmic rule has been pretty consistent so far after all.
And, last but not least…
Nene?? Is that you??
*sees flower decorations*
It is you!!! Nene!! look at how cute she is
Dancing under the moonlight, Nene is romantic even as a cat, huh? That’s so cute, never change Nene-chan lol.
All in all, I look forward to the inevitable shenanigans. Whether it’s sad, messed up or just plain bizarre, hilarity is still guaranteed!

Baking w/ Akane
warnings; pet names(babe, sweets), mention of the mechanism of how babies are made(not sexual, mostly scientific), oh this is like modern!au I guess- like if Akane existed in the real chaotic world rn, gender-neutral reader, pure fluff, ended on a weird note, unedited.
note; okay but like,, what if she was secretly a puppy or something? She's literally so cute Idk why I can totally imagine her chasing her own clothing tag like a dog would its tail.
wc; 0.9k+
Humming a small made-up tune, you rolled up your sleeves and started getting out the ingredients for yet another cake. Quarantine has been getting to you, and so every time you were bored—which was way too often—you baked something. And lucky Akane, she was the taste tester for every single one.
As soon as your fingers had created a crinkling noise from picking up the flour bag, you felt a quick zip of wind hit against you, a small, eager voice disrupting the once calm state. “Cake? Are you making a cake? I like cake.” She quietly examined you, waiting before you like an excited puppy waiting for its treat.
You could almost picture a wagging tail behind her. Smiling at her puppy-like demeanour, you stroked her head akin to how you would usually pet a dog. An idea that seemed like a good one at the time, had suddenly popped up in your head, “Wanna help?”
Grin widening, she nodded eagerly, accepting the suggestion. She normally prefers eating the food over actually making it, but since it was you, she couldn’t help but jump at the offer. “Alright, I need you to get 2 eggs from the fridge, can you do that?” She was already off as soon as you ordered her to, “On it!” She speedily opened the fridge, a little too aggressively in your opinion, but not aggressive enough in hers.
Exhaling a small laugh, you shook your head fondly before measuring all the ingredients and proceeding to put all the dry ingredients in the large bowl, occasionally peaking at the recipe you had left on the table. Now for the wet ingredients.
“Akane? You get the eggs yet, sweets?” You strained your neck to try and see where the fridge was, jolting quietly as you saw her stand in front of you guiltily. “Babe…” You watched her with a concerned expression as you heard her shameful tone, slightly nervous, “Yes..?” She looked up at you, you could almost see her imaginary tail tucked between her legs. Equipping a careful tone, you questioned her slowly, “What did you do..?”
She shuffled her feet at your gaze, “... I accidentally broke the eggs because I held them too hard- B-but I’ll go to the supermarket right now to go and get more!” She stammered nervously, not wanting to prevent you from making a cake.
Humming thoughtfully over her nervous waiting, your brain quickly solved your problem for you; an alternative! “Actually, I don’t think we need eggs.” You held your finger up to your chin in thought.
She looked up at you in confusion, “But don’t you need eggs to make cake? Like, how you need eggs for a baby, you know what I mean? ...Wait, if two guys-”
Interrupting her thought process abruptly, you yelped, “Bananas! Bananas are a good egg alternative, uhh m-mashed. You think you can do it?” You couldn’t help but find the irony in the fact you yelled out bananas when she had been t… Never mind.
You sighed in relief as you saw her expression contort into determination, “Hell yeah I can do that! I’ll smash them so hard, you won’t even remember how it looked before!” Before she could run off and abuse some poor bananas, it only then hit you that she might not peal them. And not put them in a proper bowl... And she might use her bare hands to punch the everliving crap in them.
You quickly stopped her, “Akane wait! I-I’ll get them, wait here, and don’t eat the flour, it doesn’t taste as good as you think.” Her eyes darted to the dry mixture, “...You sure?” You nodded frantically, “I have never been so sure.”
Pouting lopsidedly, she took your word for it. She has learned to trust you whenever you tell her not to do something, and you’re usually always right. The one time she didn’t listen, she almost ended up in the hospital. She learnt her lesson after that(kinda).
Coming back with bananas and a masher, you peeled the bananas for her and plopped them in the bowl, handing her the masher. “Akane, I trust you to absolutely obliterate these bananas, y’hear?” You spoke in a serious tone, the playful smile on your face anything but. Responding with a sharp, determined nod, she saluted to you similar to a soldier would to their commander.
Giggling at the action, you turned to get the sugar, before she suddenly stopped you with a quick sloppy peck on your cheek. You flushed at the sudden display of affection, finding it endearing yet also finding it flustering, “W-why did you do that?”
She flashed a toothy grin, “For good luck, of course!” Sending her an encouraging, yet flustered smile back, you quickly got back to work, a remainder of the blush resting on your face.
After finishing the preparation of the wet mixture, you looked back over to Akane who had mashed the bananas into… almost a fine powder. You made a mental note to always have her whip the egg whites, the girl had skills; you honestly thought she’d probably be more efficient than a hand mixer.
After combining everything into a nice batter, you started finishing up, turning around to put ingredients you don’t need back on the shelves as you wanted to clear space for the icing and the decorating.
The moment you left your back to Akane, Akane had spooned half the batter into her mouth quickly during the time you had your back turned.. Turning back around, your eyes bulged out your sockets as you saw half your batter,, gone. As if it evaporated into thin air.
A dark demeanour surrounding you, you spoke lowly, “Akane… I looked away for 1 second, 1 second!” You repeated, obvious frustration written on your face. Pushing her out the kitchen, you closed the door in front of her pouty, cake-stained, face. “You can come back in when it’s done!”
Huffing, you got back to work after scolding your hungry girlfriend.
Let's just say she did get to have the cake in the end- at a cost, of course.
... Okay fine, the 'cost' was really just cuddles.

An au where Korekiyo didn't kill Tenko and got away with the murder. Also Himiko is the mastermind and Tenko the traitor.
Perspective of Shuichi because he has an ahoge.
But the angst is a bit more other characters centric. Everyone has angst tho
Definitely gonna write multiple parts.
Almost everything is the same with some changes until chap 3.
Part 5 of ?
Masterpost Part 4 Part 6
----------------------------------------------
Beep....beep....beep... and some explanations
----------------------------------------------
No Seesaw (Part 5/?)
Aka if Kork got away with it
Shuichi woke up in darkness and he felt something around his wrists. Was he back in the killinggame? Did he escape?
Without any of the answers, he fell asleep again against a cold metal.
Beep.....
Beep....
Beep....
The beeping kept going. Shuichi tried to open his eyes but he felt heavy. His whole body felt like he was going to die.
He heard voices around him. "Is the emo awake?" A raspy girl's voice asked. "Not yet, I hope he wakes up soon" a sweet sounding girl voice with an accent responded.
He couldn't quite place the voices but they sounded vaguely familiar like he heard them a long time ago.
"W.what happened?" He managed to mumble, trying to open his eyes.
"He is awake, quick get Hinata" the second voice said. "On it, princess." Footsteps could be heard running out of the room.
"A.are we safe? Did we survive?" He tried to sit up to quickly causing black dots do appear before his eyes. "You are safe, please stay laying down"
He turned his head towards the owner of the voice. A woman with long blond hair with a bow in her hair stood beside his bed. "You...you are Sonia Nevermind! The princess of Noveslic"
Shuichi couldn't believe his eyes. This couldn't be real. Sonia shuddered at the mention of her kingdom. "Yes indeed, I'm Sonia Nevermind of Noveslic."
"Wow...wait, how did I come here?" Shuichi looked around the room.
"Future Foundation saved you and your friends. But back on topic, how are you feeling? Does it still hurt somewhere?" Nevermind checked the monitors where the beeping sound came.
Shuichi looked confused at the princess "Future Foundation? Who are that?" "We save people from Team Danganronpa. It got formed by the ones of the first killinggame."
"Team Danganronpa? This is getting more confusing by the moment" Shuichi sat up slowly.
"Oh, they must have wiped your memories, allow me to explain" Sonia picked up the pillow that had fallen of the bed when Shuichi first woke up and continued.
"Team Danganronpa are the creators of a TV show. They let teens audition for it, not telling them it isn't stayed and people actually die. The ones that get accepted get put into the killinggame. That's where Future Foundation comes in. They save the people. Not many have escaped team Danganronpa, you were the first students after the second killinggame that have survived. You were in the 53th killinggame..." She trailed off.
"What happened to the participants of the other 50 killinggames?" Shuichi asked. He needed a moment to process all this new information.
"They...died or got put into the world completely brainwashed, joining Team Danganronpa."
"But what about-" His question got cut short by a brown haired lady storming in with much noise. "Princess, I can't find him."
Sonia turned to her. "Akane, sweetheart, did you check the garden?" The brown haired lady who Shuichi now knew was Akane nodded. "He isn't there either"
A brownhaired man came in. "What's all this noise about?" "There you are, Hinata, you need to stop so dissapering so often, the emo is awake" Akane said to him.
"Good, the other seven are almost all awake already." The man named Hinata said. "Shuichi Saihara was it, right?" He looked at Shuichi. "I'm Hajime Hinata." He stook out his hand which Shuichi shook.
"Wait... other seven?" Miu, Kokichi, Kaito, Kiibo, Maki, Tsumugi. That would mean.... "Is Gonta still alive?!" Shuichi tried to stand up but Akane made sure he couldn't. "Hold up, little guy"
"Gonta is....Gonta is dead" Hajime said.
"But who is than the seventh person?"
----------------------------------------------
Part 6 coming soon!

Anon said: I love your cartoon mice! You could make a series out of them!
I could!! I’d love to!!!!!! If you guys would be interested in me posting more of the original/cartoonish animals-and-still-life stuff I doodle I wouldn’t mind sharing at all!!!
@notanerd579 said: hey! i’ve been a fan of yours for quite a while and i’ve had your post notifs on for some time. lately i noticed how quiet you’ve been so i looked up your page, and i somehow was no longer following you? i don’t know what happened, but i wanna make sure u know in case it’s happened to any of your other followers
Answering this publicly cause it seemed like you wanted me to, thank you so much! Both for following me again and for being worried it might have happened to someone else!! I hope not ;;;;
Anon said: your iidayama fusion... love him so much
Ohhhhhhhhhhh I’m glad, I loved that one concept probably the most out of every other one!
Anon said: Ahhh i love your art style so much!!!! Thank for all the good Kiribaku stuff my dude!!!❤❤
No anon thank you!!!!! 💕💕💕
Anon said: So, I’m just wondering what makes u ship Seromina? My friend only said that their shipped because there the only last two in the Bakusquad, ( Kiribaku, Kamijirou )
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH oh, okay! Actually I have no clue if that’s why other people ship them? It might be? It might also be that them being the last two out of the group made people consider the ship and then start actually enjoy the possibility of it? I don’t know! Personally SeroMina is one of the ships I’ve been shipping the longest (I’ve been on it since before starting to like kamijirou, actually!) and one of the only three ships in bnha I have a seriously hard time breaking up and shipping around (the other two being ochadeku and bakushima) so I’m reasonably sure my ending up liking them was an independent thought process and it wasn’t guided by shipping other things? But it’s been so long that I can’t really say why I first considered them as a possibility, so who knows, really! Might be, might not!
The reason why I’m still shipping it right now is that I find them highly compatible, that their interactions in canon give me life, and that I just find them extremely visually pleasing - I think I have a very specific way of shipping them? In my head? I have this story about them, or... an ideal way in which I like to think they might happen, and it makes me very happy and makes me feel very warm and it’s just, it’s ideal? To me, the possibility of Sero and Ashido ending up together would make for an ideal lovestory and relationship, it just gives me the fuzzies haha it’s like, you know, they’re very very good friends, and to me that’s the most solid base to start a relationship, and they’re comfortable with one another which is wonderful. They’re the same type of silly and extra and rowdy which is fun, and I’m very very stuck on the fact that when Ashido was talking about her future agency she just assumed Sero would be in it - she wants him in her future??? how cute is that!! he wasn’t the only one she mentioned so I’m not saying it’s “canon proof” or whatever, I just like that out of the squad the only one she assumed would be with her in the future is Sero, it’s soft I like it. And I like how she’s by canon called bright and shining and eyecatching and Sero’s by canon called plain, I like the possibilities in that, the feelings in that, but especially I like the idea of bright shining wonderful Ashido with her love for everything romantic and always in search of her own shining love story one day looking at Sero and realizing that she doesn’t want anyone else!! because he makes her laugh! he makes her happy! he makes her feel like she’s perfect the way she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with her loud laugh and childish sense of humor and overly-bright fashion sense, and I love love love the idea of Sero thinking her completely out of his league and never thinking anything could ever happen between them but like, not in a sad pining sort of way? more in a “she’s ideal and I know she’s out of my league so I’m not putting any thought in it but she ideal”, only for Ashido!!! to confess!!!!!!! To HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just thinking about it makes me feel all warm inside I’m talking too much okay I know I just love them So Much Hori please don’t pair them off with someone else I’ll cry a river
Anon said: Have you seen the newest BNHA chapter??
THIS WAS ABOUT THE KAMIJIROU ONE HELL YEAH I READ THE KAMIJIROU CHAPTER HOLY H E C K
Anon said: Kiribaku, am I right?

Anon said: Not a question but I NEED you to know that your bokuroteru tattoo au comic gave me the biggest motivation to start writing again (albeit for bnha, instead of haikyuu) because it's just sooo good!! Their interaction, the way bokuro seem confident and comfortable even tho they're actually lame dorks who blush a lot, the way teru confessed to the two guys, their kisses //// just gahhh everything about your comic gave me the dokis. You're an inspiration
I’m so so so happy to hear that oh my god!!! (TTATT) the fact that that comic can still make people feel stuff means so much to me holy heck I’m gonna cry ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Anon said: CAN WE HAVE MORE AKANE?? PLEASE I LOVE THAT CHILD TO DEATH!!!! I'm new to the blog so Idk if this would be a request but...I just really want some Akane...

So I’ve always been more of an UnderTale centric blog, but I’m also in the Danganronpa fandom.
(Yes yes, Danganronpa, UnderTale, Kayne West, Fingers, MOVING ON!)
So I was looking at V3’s cast, and I thought to myself “hey! Shuichi is kinda like a Makoto/Kirigiri fusion.” And more than once I’ve seen AUs where Shuichi is there kid.
Then I thought of something. “Oh my god... are ALL the V3 members fusions?!”
And if you do the math, it adds up. 32 students from the first two games, 16 in V3.
So I went to work trying to determine if this theory bore any real fruit and started pairing characters (in a non romantic sense, this isn’t some big shipping post). When it came to determining these fusions, I focused on a few different traits for each character. For some it was their talent, others it was their personality traits, and sometimes it was both.
Some fusions admittedly make more sense than others, but I’m going to send each fusion and my reasoning for them.
Starting with Shuichi, who is a fusion of Makoto and Kyoko. (Side note, I’ll be sticking to everyone’s first names.) So the parts he got from Kyoko are pretty obvious, they’re both detectives and emo. From Makoto though, he gets the role of protagonist as well as a good amount of Makoto’s “good boy energy” or G.B.E. for short.
Next we’ve got Kaede, a Sayaka and Aoi fusion. Kaede and Sayaka have a few things in common. Their personalities are both cheerful, they’ve both got musical talents, they both wanted everyone to be friends, and they both jumped the gun and got themselves killed. Yeah... as for Aoi... uh... yeah this was one of those “I don’t really know where to put you so I’ll put you here” scenarios. I mean, Aoi ALSO kind of jumped the gun and almost got everyone killed, which is why I chose to put her in the Kaede fusion pair.
After our protagonists, who better than the rival? Kokichi’s fusion is easily one of if not the least surprising. He’s a fusion of Nagito and Byakuya. Like Nagito, he’s completely insane, obsesses over something (in his case lies) and he sacrifices himself in chapter 5, though for a relatively more selfless cause then Nagito. Keyword being relatively.
On the other end of the spectrum is Kaito, a fusion between Nekomaru and Yasuhiro. Hiro’s inspiration is pretty obvious once you think about it. There’s the jacket and it’s abnormal way of being worn, the airheadedness, and they both have space relations. (Didn’t aliens steal Hiro’s burger or something?) As for Nekomaru, well, it’s obvious right? He was a constant pillar of support for his friends and did exercises with Shuichi and Makinto help them both physically and mentally.
Speaking of Maki, she’s a Mukuro and Hiyoko fusion. Yeah, that’s a weird one right? Well here me out. The Mukuro part is obvious enough, she’s a solider and Maki is an assassin, each having a murder related talent, plus they both fell for lovable dorks. Hiyoko is another situation like Aoi unfortunately. The only common ground I could find was that Maki is kinda short and pretty mean at times. (Her talent could’ve been the Ultimate Tsundere tbh)
On the topic of short girls, Himiko is a Chihiro and Ibuki fusion. Yeah... definitely a weird one there. Chihiro has two main things that lead me to one conclusion. One is they’re both pretty meek except for when it comes to their talent. The other thing was that Chihiro was a tech wiz. Eh... get it, wiz? Right, moving on...
K1-B0 is a Hajime/Chiaki fusion. Like Chiaki, Kiibo is an artificial being, and then there’s the connections to Hajime. Both were evil versions of the Ultimate Hope, albeit unintentionally, and while Kiibo also has loads of G.B.E. he can also tap into his inner Hajime and be sassy as heck. Plus there was their problems revolving around their talents. Hajime wanting to prove he had a talent and K1-B0 wanting to prove his talent was useful, despite his numerous physical setbacks like being weaker and having worse eyesight than the average human.
Next is Tsumugi. Ah Tsumugi, at first I wanted to fuse Junko with Hifumi to make her, combining the Mastermind aspect of Junko with the weebiness of Hifumi. Then I realized that there was a more obvious fit. Twogami and his imposter talent practically mirror’s Tsumugi’s Cosplay talent. End result: Tsumugi is a Junko/Twogami fusion!
Rantaro is...uh... a Kiyotaka/Leon fusion...? Yeah I honestly didn’t know who to put with this guy and these two were just kinda there. I mean, Leon is a “ladies man” and I think Rantaro gave that vibe off? As for Taka, I would just look at him, and then Rantaro, and day to myself “yeah, that fits” for no real reason. Like, there were no grounds for my argument and even so! *sigh* moving on...
Ryoma is Fuyuhiko and Akane. This one kinda makes sense. Ryoma and Fuyuhiko are both smol men with baby faces that can be scary when they want to, and Ryoma and Akane both had it rough prior to school. Yeah I’m not too good with this one either.
Back to more realistic fusions, Kirumi is a Celestia/Peko fusion. Celeste’s goth aesthetic plus Peko’s unwavering sense of duty merge and that’s basically Kirumi in a nutshell.
Angie is Sonia and Hifumi. Angie and Hifumi are both artists, simple as that, and just as Sonia was the ruler of her country, Angie was basically the one running hers, not to mention they were both really weird.
I don’t like Tenko so I’ll make this fast. Mondo and Mahiru. I heard Mondo is supposed to represent toxic masculinity (but he’s portrayed in a way that makes his character GOOD!) and then there’s Mahiru with her constantly getting on guys’ case telling them that they should be doing all these things for no reason other than their gender. Put the two together and you get Tenko and her screaming about “Degenerate males” every five minutes. For someone who hates guys so much, she sure seems to talk about them a lot...
Korekiyo was one that was so obvious I kicked myself for not figuring it out sooner. Mikan and Touko. Touko’s split personality is the same as Kiyo being “possessed” by his sister, and his relationship with his sister mirrors Mikan’s relationship with Junko. Yeah, some dark basis for fusion reasoning, but it works.
Miu. Teruteru’s perverted personality meets Kazuichi’s technological prowess. Nuff said.
And last, but far from least is Gonta. He stronk and noble like Sakura, both sacrificing themselves doing what they believed was right, and he’s good with animals like Gundam.
WOW this took forever to write. Please comment or reblog with your opinions on this theory. How reliable is it? Should I switch some fusions around? Why? I take constructive criticism in stride.

Hey! So! I heard you wanted DR requests 👀 How would you feel about writing a Hanahaki au with Gundham? I really like your writing so it’d be really fantastic!
thank you so much! I’m so sorry this took so long to write but life has been rough and I put some work into this! i hope you enjoy dear! 🥺🥺
Sonia Nevermind.
It was all that stupid princess’s fault. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have been going through what you’re going through right now.
You were slightly envious of the princess, she was basically everything you weren’t. That’s why you hated her, because of the fact that she was up to his standards.
You have had a crush on a boy for months, Gundham Tanaka to be exact. At first, you denied having any form of liking to him as you thought he wouldn’t be into you. Scratch that, you still think he isn’t into you.
That was because of Sonia’s mere existence.
You knew that Gundham had standards, he called himself ‘The Dark Lord’ for a reason. At first, you thought that he wasn’t looking for anyone to be with romantically- that was until you saw him hang out with Sonia more and more often.
That’s how you saw things of course.
Sonia met Gundham’s standards, while you were probably just a mere peasant to him. Sonia was definitely the girl Gundham was looking for, she was an actual princess after all- why not promote her to his ‘Dark Queen’ while at it.
This leads to where you are now, hunched over the toilet bowl and throwing up ‘Queen of the Night’ flowers. You hated this, you wish that everything would be over- you were sick of throwing up flowers for a boy who probably doesn’t even know who you are.
It really made you feel like trash, it made you realise how stupid you were for liking Gundham in the first place.
You were so close to not getting to the bathroom this morning, it took you a ton of effort just to leave the bed. Mikan had told you a while back that your state was getting worse; that one day either the thorns would be too much for your insides, or you’ll choke on the flowers you’ve been throwing up.
All this pain, pain that Sonia and Gundham would never understand. That pain just made you hate her even more. At this point, you were disgusted by her name even mentioned in a conversation.
Today, you had enough of this pain. One day or another, you would have to tell Gundham your feelings or you would die- and today was going to be that day (if you could even get out of the bathroom that was).
-
“Are you sure you want to do this? What if he doesn’t believe what you’re saying?” Mahiru questioned, grabbing fresh clothes for you to change out of your bloodstained clothes.
“Don’t say things like that!” Akane hissed, coming out of the bathroom with you in her arms.
You had asked for Akane and Mahiru to come to your cottage to help you out with today. You had told them both about you wanting to confess, and they were more than willing to help you out.
“I know he likes Sonia more than me.” You rasped, “But it’s worth a shot. If he does know, at least he’ll regret it if I died. It’s sort of like a death bed wish.”
“Don’t remind me that you’re dying.” Akane placed you down on your bed, “It breaks my damn heart that you are, especially over a man like Gundham.”
“To me, he’s not even a man.” Mahiru walked over towards you and Akane, “If he’s going to down right ignore how you’re feeling, that’s just being a coward! Men aren’t supposed to be cowards!”
“But what you said, how do you even know he even likes Sonia more?” Akane countered what you said, starting to help you change.
“H-He talks to her more then me.” You coughed, a flower falling onto your thigh, “He’s hangs out with her more than me. You saw them the other day right? They’re that close that they finish each other sentences!”
During home room the other day, you had saw Sonia and Gundham laughing while they were talking. At one point, Gundham was talking and Sonia had finished his sentence.
“You never know Y/N.” Mahiru assured, “They could just be best friends. To me, it doesn’t even look like he’s interested in her in that way.”
“What makes you think that?”
“It may be because I’m naturally observant, but there’s this vibe with them that feels like they’re only friends you know.” Mahiru shrugged, “I’ve just noticed from the start that Sonia isn’t the type of girl he’s into- to be honest, I think she’s hanging out with him because of his hamsters.”
“But it looks so different. Why are they that close if she’s just in the friendship for those hamsters.” You furrowed your eyebrows, looking down and picking up the flower that fell on your thigh.
“I said that was my opinion on it. But think whatever you think of it. Just remember, Y/N, there’s more then what meets the eye.” Mahiru finished up helping you get ready.
“As much as I hate to say it, I agree with Mahiru on that one.” Akane chimed, helping you stand.
“Hey!”
“What? I’m saying my opinion. Come on, let’s go and find Gundham and the others.”
-
You had chose the wrong day to do it, why did you have to choose today.
Currently, you were with everyone else at the restaurant. Everyone else seemed to have a good time, except you of course.
You had noticed that Sonia was sitting awfully close to Gundham, and you tried to brush it off. It was stuck in your mind the entire time everyone was there, you had tried to distract yourself by talking to Akane, Mahiru and Ibuki- but it only seemed to make things worse.
As you looked down to eat some food, that’s when you felt it.
You could feel the flowers coming through your throat. You stood and ran out of the restaurant, leaving everyone confused and shocked in their seats.
“Why aren’t you guys doing anything, you cowards!” Mahiru yelled as she rushed out of her seat and towards outside, Akane following her with a plate of food in her hands.
-
Mahiru and Akane walked outside to a horrifying sight.
You were kneeling in front of the garden, flowers coming out of your mouth without control. You arms were clutching your throat, coughing continuously as tears brimmed in your eyes. From a distance, you could see thorns slightly poking the skin of your throat.
Blood was staining your clothes and the grass around you as it seeped out of your mouth. It was all over your hands as you gagged and coughed.
“Get Mikan!” Mahiru screamed to Akane, who nodded and ran back inside as Mahiru ran to your side to try and help as much as she could.
-
“What happened to Y/N?” Kazuichi thought loudly, “She was acting strange- running outside and all that.”
”I’m not sure why.. But I do hope that she’s okay.” Chiaki replied with concern, “She looked more pale then usual, she has for a while.”
”Ibuki thought she was the only one who noticed!” Ibuki added, “Ibuki also noticed that Y/N hasn’t left her cabin in a while.”
“Maybe she got a bug or something. Something isn’t right with her in any way.” Sonia chimed in, “Like, something really isn’t right.”
“Maybe she has been cursed.” Gundham sighed, “But what would she be cursed w-“
“MIKAN!” Akane’s voice boomed and she slammed the door open, “IT’S Y/N, SHE’S DYING!”
“H-Huh!” Mikan turned around startled and starting to stumble towards Akane, “I-I’m on my w-way!”
-
Akane and Mikan rushed outside together, Mikan instantly going to Y/N after seeing the state she was in.
Mahiru’s clothes were covered in blood and petals, a gloomy yet concerned look on her face as she was pulled away from Y/N by Akane.
“Please Y/N.. Don’t die on us..” Mahiru whispered, tears filling her eyes, “I tried as much as I could to stop the bleeding bu-“
“Oh my god.”
Akane and Mahiru turned around to see everyone else on top of the steps, looking down at Y/N’s body and Mikan near them.
“What’s wrong with her? Why is she like that!” Sonia screamed.
“I am right, she was cursed-“ Gundham began.
That’s when Akane lost her cool, she couldn’t stand Gundham at this point. He’s the one bringing Y/N pain, if it weren’t for him you wouldn’t be dying.
“IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU!” Akane snapped, pointing at Gundham, anger filling her eyes.
“What do you m-“
”IT’S BECAUSE OF YOU AND SONIA! YOU TWO ALWAYS BEING TOGETHER!” At this point, Akane was being held back by Mahiru. If it weren’t for Mahiru, she probably would’ve knocked him out by now.
“Akane, calm down please. Being violent isn’t going to help the situation right now.” Mahiru tried to calm Akane down, much to her avail it made Akane even more angry.
”I DON’T CARE! HE NEEDS SOME SENSE KNOCKED INTO HIM!” Akane broke from Mahiru’s grip and starting to storm towards Gundham.
Grabbing him by his shirt, Akane looked at Gundham in the eyes and hissed, “You better make things right with Y/N. She’s been in love with you for the longest time, and you’ve been ignoring her for Sonia. So you’re going to make things right with her.”
-
Gundham was beyond shocked with what Akane said.
Y/N liked him too? She thought he was ignoring her for Sonia. He had to admit, Sonia was consuming too much of his time lately.
He knew that Sonia had a crush on him, he knew that if it weren’t for his Deva’s- Sonia probably would’ve never spoken to him or even have feelings for him.
But he liked you, he yearned to be in your presence every time he was hanging out with Sonia. He wanted to talk to you, to see if you had feelings for him too, but he knew that you probably weren’t interested in him.
But now, after knowing that you had liked him back and finding out the hard way, he had wished that he had spoken to you earlier about it.
He was going to when you first arrived, but Sonia was in the middle of talking to him and she moved towards him.
But now, he regretted every second he spent with her today. If he had spoken to you, you wouldn’t be in the situation you’re in. Because of that feeling, he had the urge to shut everyone out so it’s just you and him, and pour his heart out to you.
But he had to keep calm, like what Mahiru said, being violent isn’t going to help or change things.
“I will.” Gundham hissed to Akane, “I am now, get off of me, mortal.”
Akane complied, letting go of her grip so Gundham could walk towards Y/N.
-
“I-I’ve tried as much as I c-can! I-I’m s-sorry if it made Y-Y/N worse!” Mikan exclaimed sadly, looking over at Gundham with wide eyes.
“It’s fine, Mikan. I think I know how to get rid of this curse.” Gundham reassured Mikan as she slowly nodded and stumbled away from him.
“Y/N..” Gundham whispered as he crouched next to you, “I’m so sorry for this..”
“Why are you apologising?” You coughed, looking at him with dark eyes, “I thought you would want to see someone like me in pain.. especially when you have feelings for her.”
He realised the hurt and bitterness in your voice at your response, he didn’t want to admit it but what you said had broken his heart.
“My dear Y/N, why would you think that I have feelings for her? I get why you would, but if you were to observe my actions closely you would see that I have no attraction to her.”
“It didn’t look like that way to me.” Your eyes teared up as you started to cough up even more flower petals. You felt the thorns pressing harder and harder into your neck, making you gag.
“Y/N? P-Please don’t pass on.. it’s n-not your time. ” He was concerned, you could tell by the shakiness of his voice. That’s when you realised that he generally cared for you.
You kept on gagging, it was all too much to handle. You didn’t want to muffle out what Gundham is saying but your mind is starting to fuzz out.
“I-“ Before you could continue, flower petals fell out of your mouth along with blood, the pink staining Gundham’s hands as he placed them on your shoulders.
“P-Please.” You also realised that Gundham had broken character, that he wasn’t his usual ‘evil’ self, “Don’t leave.”
“I-I love you.”
Once he had said that, you could feel the thorns start to retreat from your neck and start to shrink down from your neck. You could feel the petals shrinking in your stomach along with the stem of the plant.
Your head was pounding, but you didn’t care. Relief felt through your veins as you looked up at him with teary eyes.
“So you weren’t lying..” You looked up and him and murmured as he took your hands into his, “You really do love me.”
“Like what I said, my dear Y/N.” Gundham pulled you close, whispering into your ear, “I love you.. and I always will.”

Connections Review Part 1
Happy 2021 everyone! Well…the year’s off to a terrible start due to how bad last year was but I hope that most of 2021 will be good and not be 2020 Part 2: Electric Boogaloo. But enough of that, another arc ended, another review due. Now I am quite conscious of length here and I’ll try to make these reviews a bit easier to read, it will still be split into 3 parts as there I can cover the main themes which are; Time Travel, Harems and Maverick ‘Motherfucker Hellspawn’ Storm. My initial plan was to have a quick lightening recap of everything that doesn’t fit into these categories and then review the Time Travelling and Harems but Storm became so big he needed his own part. Oh, and it should go without saying, but I will not cover the Mistletoe Asks. They are not relevant to the arc and are basically shipping fluff. No in-depth analysis required there. And with that said and done, let’s get right into it.
Its Recap time
So, as I mentioned before we get into the 3 big themes of this arc, I’ll cover really quick, and I promise it will be really quick here, anything that doesn’t fit into those categories. So firstly, we see that Kazuichi went around the Void Warehouse and helped fix their lights. Now that all of Class 77-B are aware of Void’s existence, they can help out with any problems they might have in their living quarters, which leads to a funny scene of Kazuichi getting attacked by a crow. This could be random but given what has happened with another seemly random event (more on that later) and the fact that Monocrow exists, this could be sinister foreshadowing for things yet to come. We also see Kazuichi getting ideas to build a robot with Chihiro as that’s his way of romance. Given Chihiro’s crossdressing tendencies, I wonder when the truth comes out and how confused our shark boy would be. But yeah, Kazuichi out all of the new Class 77-B members seems to have the most focus in this arc, not that I’m complaining as he was the most ‘pointless’ survivor from DR2 so him getting actual character development and focus I’m more then welcome for! There’s also Yoruko rekindling her relationship with her mentor Minako. This went better than expected then again it happened years ago, both Yoruko and Minako had time to reflect on it and both wanted to make up, but thought the other wouldn’t accept it. We also see some parallels here with Hiroko from UDG as Kizuna is revealed to be the result of a teenage pregnancy. As I mentioned in an ask, not to bog you down with personal details but teenage pregnancy is a serious problem where I live and too many people I know fucked as teens, didn’t use protection, and boom! Babies! Good thing I have a passion for Danganronpa so I DON’T get wrapped up in that kind of stuff eh? So, I completely understand Minako’s rational here, and Kizuna’s more troublesome behaviour as one of my RL friends was also the result of a teen pregnancy, and this led to her having…issues. And yeah, Kizuna shamelessly flirts with the Anons and talks about Josuke, no not THAT Josuke, simping hard for her. Naturally we have bigger problems to content with but once the weather calms down, we need to sort out Kizuna, especially now that Yoruko and Minako have made up. And that’s the two things that happened which weren’t relevant to the main themes. Now they are out of the way, time to move onto Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Stuff. Hey, Emma made a Doctor Who joke already, so it’s okay!
Back to the Visions
Despite Time Travel being one of the main themes of this blog, not a lot of research has gone into it at the moment, so in this wind down time, it’s the perfect time for Umeko to do some experiments into time travel. Last Arc dropped the reveal that Mikako has being getting dreams of the future, and as Koroko and Umeko pull up at the Kisurugi household, we see that Mikako just had a dream of the Tragedy, which understandably horrified her. Because of this Umeko and Koroko were forced to tell Mikako, Yamato and his father the truth about the future. They omitted Kasugano and him changing the timelines as its not needed but well…when one dreams of an apocalyptic future you know is coming, there’s no sense in lying about it. Umeko then explains about the time travel and basically that since the brain surgery, Mikako’s brain has become a tachyon receiver that can pick up tachyon from different timelines, not just the one you are on. But it goes beyond being able to see the future via her dreams as if Mikako focuses, and someone touches Mikako during this time, they are hit with a vision of the future that involves them. The first vision was with Koroko and she caught a glimpse into a future much more distant then the 2017 that Hajime, Yoruko, Sora and the other 2 time travellers came from, as it seems to be from the Year 2020-2022 so pretty close to our time then. Here Koroko and Kanata, who not only went through a growth spurt like Hiyoko (Poor Hibiki, she is forever going to be the short one) and has married Nagito, are giving vaccinations to a young girl named Sayuri Hinata. Sayuri herself is very familiar to some people as during the last Arc when Akane was trying to comfort Nikei, one Anon asked about a timeline where she and Ayame had a child. This was a reference to Nextgenronpa which is a Nextgen AU on Instagram created by Mikwithnoando, if you happen to have an Instagram account, I highly recommend reading it, it’s really good! The character in question is called Sayuri Otonokoji the Ultimate Sculptor and in Nextgenronpa she’s the child of Hibiki and Iroha. Koroko looking through her medical records noticed her mother’s name is Hibiki Hinata so Hibiki obviously changed her last name, makes sense as she wants to probably be as far away from Otonokoji as possible now but no mention of the father and yes Sayuri looks a lot like Iroha. This has a few possibilities.
The first theory is that Sayuri is Hibiki and Hajime’s child, but both are very busy. Hibiki would have very likely restarted her musical career around this time and we don’t know what Hajime would be doing but he would be very busy as well, and thus not a lot of time to raise Sayuri. Now Iroha would have a very sedimentary lifestyle and given she is looking after Jataro at the moment, this would probably make Iroha one of the more experienced caretakers/mothers of the cast, so maybe Sayuri was often babysat by Iroha, and if Sayuri was spending a lot of time with Iroha at a young age, she would start to view Iroha as a second mother and start copying her behaviour and mannerisms. But that doesn’t evade the fact that Sayuri PHYSICALLY looks like Iroha as well. The second theory is something happens to Hibiki or Hajime and they are unable to reproduce but want kids. With Kyoji, making kids would not be an issue, but a surrogate mother would be required and maybe Iroha volunteered to be a surrogate. However, the big issue there is that Iroha is much younger than the Goodbye Despair cast, and as Mikan later points out legally, you need to be 21 to be eligible. Sayuri looking to be 8-10 years old means Hibiki and Hajime must have banged around now-2014 and Iroha won’t turn 21 until 2017 and Sayuri looks way older than 3-5 years old. But there is one more theory and the one I believe in. Just because Mikako can see the future, doesn’t mean it’s the timeline we are currently on, and you guys remember that awful, awful period during Oncoming Storm when Iroha was crushing on Hajime and wanted to join the Cuddle Puddle despite there being a significant age gap between him and Iroha? In our timeline, Yoruko was able to slap some sense into Hajime, he was able to see he was developing a Saviour’s complex and was able to grow and develop, and it also system shocked Iroha as well as she learnt that she needed to grow up as well. But what if that didn’t happen? I think that timeline is from one when the sense slapping didn’t happen and Iroha did wind up being part of the Cuddle Puddle, and Sayuri was the result of science from Kyoji and Iroha and Hibiki wanting kids. In addition to this we also see Kotoko in her teen years and she looks brilliant all grown up and the way she talked about ‘our mothers’ and Sayuri referring to Kotoko as a big sister, makes one believe that Mikan is successful in adopting Kotoko. Overall, while Sayuri is going to be a headache to decode, that future was nice and sweet, even if it gave Mikako mild seizures.
After Mikako recovered, Yamato wanted to see the future as well, and thus we get the second vision which is from the OG Timeline in 2014, as it shows some Class 79 tomfoolery with Haruhiko ‘testing’ Yamato’s jetpack and crashing into a tree, and Teruya being concerned for his bro. I know its 2014 because Class 79 was formed then and they didn’t bond for long before Utsuro showed up with an army of Monokumas and was like ‘Knock knock, it’s the upupupu train’ and we get the Proto Killing Game. At least Yamato gets to see his future friends for the first time. And Mikako doesn’t get that much of a headache this time so it seems that the further in time she looks, the bigger the side effects. The first vision was a decade into the future so the side effects were quite big but the second one was only a couple of years so the effects were reduced. It remains uncertain if Mikako has to trust the person in question for the vision link to be done because as much of a force of good this seer ability is, it can also be used for evil. Overall, lots of discoveries on Mikako’s abilities and some hope that not every future out there is filled with despair and there exists a timeline where the Quantum Crew do win. Now it’s a case of seeing if that’s the timeline they are on or not.
That summarizes part 1 with the recapping of minor details and the time travelling science! It’s a longer part then I wanted but with the recap at the beginning it cannot be helped. When we come back, I’ll talk about the Harems and the events surrounding them and hopefully that would be the new length I wish to aim for because this is more of my old length. Stay tuned people! - Review Anon

Feeling Blue, Seeing Red (Chapter 69)
Let’s Talk About JSHK Manga #5
Updated: 19/8/2020 (more thoughts)
Bea is back with the lame punny titles~
Warning: !!! MANGA SPOILERS UP TO CHAPTER 69 !!! Duh.
Soooo I opened the raws this morning. Saw the spicy and went 'ohh shoot'. Then some of y'all say that some folks are hating Akane bc of this chap. I proceeded to panic, because fandom war is scary af. So I translated the chap for myself. And I just gotta say:
Aoi, Nene, your boyfriends are idiots. Y'all gonna be punching and headbutting the idiocy out of them for the rest of your lives and I'll be willing to pay for your karate classes.
The teen drama made me laugh so hard ahahahaha I guess this is what you get for hoping sensei will drop a bomb this month lmaoooo.
P.S. Teru you little shit
Man I don’t even know where to begin. This chapter is oozing doraaaaama and I can’t take it seriously no matter how much I try. I remember thinking, “Shoot, this is the ‘I hate you, I hate you too, proceed to make out’ trope in JSHK’s classic ‘oooh serious moment, eh? PSYCHE!’ style,” before bursting into laughter.
I swear I’m not making fun of it.
Because it’s already fun to begin with. Ahahahaha.
I do however, take seriously the long-awaited insight into Aoi’s mind. I hollered in joy, y’all. ‘Cause like ... finally!
(Also like ... ngl the development of Aoi and akaoi in this arc might come into play in my Shrek AU. Pls don’t ask. Yet. That’s not the official AU name I swear I just wanna confuse my readers ahahaha)
Back when chapter 64 came out I wrote something that was supposed to be the first of the Let’s Talk About JSHK Manga series but I ended up not posting it because I wasn’t sure about a bunch of things. Here’s an excerpt from that post, titled ‘Aoi and Her Blues’:
I mean, what did the minions do to her? ‘Remove unnecessary things’. Someone said they removed her inhibitions (I’m terribly sorry I forgot who said this because it’s been so long so I can’t put the link here, but if you know, feel free to send me the link).
But she has to be brainwashed, right?
She remembered enough about Nene. Enough to call her out on her feelings (that she still denies btw lol) and recognize Hanako from Nene’s wonderful description (or because Aoi could see him all this time and never said anything, who knows?).
Most importantly, she remembered Akane.
So apparently they weren’t unnecessary enough to be erased from her memory. Which I’d beg to differ if I were going to make this girl willingly sacrifice herself.
Would she let her best friend fall down into a pit full of giant insects, or let her childhood friend get impaled? I mean this is the same girl that cried when Akane and Yamabuki got together (by accident) and when Nene started talking to herself like a madwoman.
So yeah. Definitely brainwashed. Pretty sure now.
The one thing that bugged me is what she said though.
“I’ve always wanted to go somewhere far away.”
“Nothing will stop me from getting my wish.”
Btw these aren’t accurate word for word I’m just drawing from memory.
Is that a wish forced upon her by the brainwashing, or has Aoi been depressed all this time and ... y’know, therefore thought about ‘going far away’? I’m personally leaning more towards the first, but it still got me thinking.
Remember back in The Clock Keeper arc when she said there was something she wanted to tell Nene?
Can some creepy hands showing up in the gardening club’s album photos really warrant that kind of expression? Is it just me who got disappointed when the thing she wanted to tell Nene ended up being just that?
But if she did have such thoughts, why?
Maybe she was lonely? I mean Nene got so busy with supernatural shenanigans. Akane’s busy with student council stuff (and school wonder stuff). Though I don’t doubt for a second that he’d drop everything for Aoi, but Aoi’s not the kind of person to do that. And to be honest, I feel like so far Aoi hasn’t been shown having genuine interaction with anyone aside from Nene and Yamabuki without the other person being completely enamored by her. And even with Yamabuki that was just in that After School chapter.
So I guess my hunch wasn’t that far off. Still though. Still though. Is she or is she not brainwashed? Because as much as Aoi likes-but hates-but actually kinda likes Akane, I still don’t think she’s the type of person to stab her childhood friend until he’s got a hole through his fucking torso.
Throwing Nene into the bug pit I guess makes more sense if Aoi knew all along that the pit won’t lead anywhere too dangerous, and that Hanako wouldn’t leave Nene’s side. Nene’s perfectly safe with him. Sorta. She did get kidnapped and were about to be sacrificed after all. But heeey Hanako still showed up to save her in the end.
Stabbing Akane like that tho? Even if she knows he wouldn’t die in a boundary especially in his school wonder form? It just doesn’t feel like Aoi, man.
Then again she did say no one really knows her, and that anyone who does would end up being disappointed in her.
I’m really happy to know that she does not, in fact, appreciate all the attention given to her. Comedy framing aside, constantly having some random guy approach you to ask you out presumably every day is ... annoying at best. Kid deserves better.
So ya girl got some extreme trust issues. Strangers, even Akane and Nene, I could understand. But her dad tho? Is something going on in the Akane household? Bruh ....
How long has Aoi not been able to trust anyone enough to let them get close to her? Because if she’s been feeling like that about Nene all this time, Imma be super sad bruh. Nene is one of the most genuine kids ever (perhaps only second to Kou).
I understand that Aoi’s disappointed because Nene’s been keeping secrets, but honestly, who would believe you if you come up to them and say, “Hey so I summoned a toilet ghost and now I’m stuck as his assistant. The rumors about supernaturals are like, totally real, and can endanger everyone in this school for real, too. Also I turn into fish when I come in contact with water.”
Sensible best friends would either a) not believe you, or b) try to get you as far away from supernatural shit as possible ‘cause hello? Ya ain’t Miles Morales ya can’t just blast What’s Up Danger when monster of the week shows up.
Even if Aoi does let it continue, wouldn’t she wanna get involved? Would Nene let her get involved when Tsukasa’s still around? Ya girl got cursed, thrown off the top of a boundary, sent to literally nowhere and everywhere, almost got her body stolen by mirror monsters, kidnapped and taken into a fake world, and now trapped in literal Grim Reaper’s realm. Honestly, who would involve their best friend in this sort of shit?
It just makes me sad to think that all this time Akane and Nene have genuinely cared about her but she didn’t think they were. Aoi, my girl Nene literally threaded hell boundaries and high shallow water to save you!!!
Unrequited platonic love hurts just as much as romantic ones, y’all ....
Speaking of romantic love.
Hey, uh, Akane. For claiming to despise Hanako and calling him a slimy pervert, y’all kinda act the same way with your respective girlfriends when things get a bit heated up, huh? Even the teasing part.
Boy, you’re dumb af. You deserve that.
There it is y’all, it’s official. We got punches for akaoi and headbutts for hananene.
You deserve this too. But Teru’s face here is really annoying, I’ll give you that. Teru you little shit.
At least you’re finally gonna be useful. Let’s just see.
Hmm I guess I have to address the thing now.
Ahem. The thing. The pushing (pulling?) Aoi down, grabbing her neck thing.
Yeah I don’t get it either. Whether it was a creative choice taken in consideration to the actual character’s state or to just pander to the trope that seems to be marketable in Japan or both, I don’t really know.
I do however, have to remind you that none of these kids are in their right mind. One is possibly still recovering from the effects of brainwashing and dealing with not only extreme trust issues and insecurities, but also the sight of a gaping hole on her childhood friend and perhaps crush’s torso, not to mention having to deal with this in the middle of nowhere. The other one is the said person with a gaping hole on his torso, who almost lost his life-long crush, and even got stabbed by her in the first place.
They’re lost. They’re tired. They’re emotional. They’re frustrated. They’re two hormonal teens.
I think Akane thought Aoi wouldn’t listen to him unless he makes her. Which is why he went with exposing her by saying he hated her. Which is still a dumb move in my opinion. But Aoi rightfully got back at him. And honestly I didn’t think he really hurt her. I mean, it’s Akane after all. *shrugs*
The way I see it, the entire thing was a result from not only their current condition but also the uh ... not telling each other how they really feel all this time. Aoi with her issues, Akane with his secrets. They’re a ticking bomb. It’s horrible that they ended up hurting each other because of this (physically and emotionally), but I could see why it went like this. These two are flawed. Most importantly, they’re teenagers. They’re bound to fuck up in this equation.
Heck, I’ve fucked up worse in less endangering situations before.
But heeey once things get cleared between them they fall right back to each other. Sure things aren’t entirely resolved. But they’re gonna be okay. Teru’s there. Should be fine. Probably.
The thing is we as the audience who come into the story with a clear head can easily figure out the best, most sensible way to deal with the characters’ problems. But these problems affect the characters in (physical, physiological, psychological, emotional) ways most of us can’t immediately empathize with, which can make their bad decisions frustrating for us to see. We know it’s wrong. And when these characters have calmed down and healed, they’ll know that it’s wrong, too. If they’re not dicks, that is.
You know how it feels when you’re fighting with someone, and you know the best thing to do is to talk it out, but you just can’t bring yourself to? It makes things worse, right? And you’re frustrated, right? Unfortunately that’s just how humans are.
Even I let my emotions get the best of me when I judged the villagers’ actions back in chapter 68 hahaha (but I still think they’re awful).
It’s just my opinion tho.
And whooo everyone is officially here but Yamabuki (and Sakura and Tsukasa, but they’re bound to show up)! Catch up soon, my citrus child.
Lastly, I have the moral obligation to remind you that if akaoi’s confrontation ended up like this, imagine how hananene’s would be.
I’ll leave you to your deductions.
As always, feel free to discuss. Just ... don’t fight, onegaishimasu.

Blurb Chapters
So if anyone actually read the post about the three different ideas, I’m going to write blurbs on them, let’s say, the “first paragraph” to each of the blurbs. They’re going to be around 1.5k words for anyone who doesn’t like reading much. For a couple of days, depending on how many followers and such there are I may as well just make an entire AU out of it. So I’ll give each blurb a week. After a week I will list down the likes a post has and post the second blurb, then the cycle repeats. You can like all three if you want, I don’t really care, I do appreciate it though ^^ To be honest, I’m doing this for fun and I won’t have much time to do this probably when school starts again so it’s really for quick reads.
Without further ado, here is Blurb #1, the Zodiac AU
Yashiro Nene, a fifteen year old girl who had to move schools. Technically, it’s a transfer. Because her grandparents passed, Nene was more or less forced to move away from their house and back to that big and empty mansion her parents owned. It wasn’t that her parents didn’t love her, they were just never home. Nene loves her parents, but their work was always abroad.
Nene looked at the flyer of her school in her hands. She was enrolling as a first year high school student in Kamome Academy. Turns out the school has its own middle school division which sort of sucks. Cliques and friends would already exist and making any friends would be near impossible.
Nene groaned, her life is going to be so terrible. Her hair draped over her head. Nene then realized how long her bangs were. After her grandparents’ death, Nene was immediately moved to the Yashiro estate. With the sudden change, she couldn’t cope well with the news and differences. She also didn’t know where the nearest barber was at. Nene also didn’t want to walk out with this type of hairstyle.
Puffing out her cheeks, Nene quickly walked over to the bathroom. She held scissors in her right hand and she carefully pulled her bangs down. She had to just it just right.
Snip.
Too long.
Snip.
Not straight.
Snip.
Still long…
Snip.
Still crooked…
Snip.
Snip.
Snip.
Snip snip snip snip snip snip snipsnipsnipsnipsnispnipsnipsnipsnipsnip.
“…”
Nene stared bleakly at the mirror and her new hairdo. Her eyes watered up and she dropped the scissors where the small pieces of hair were at. She covered her mouth.
“Nooooooooo~!”
Nene screamed as she stared at the mirror in shock. Her beautiful bangs! The beautiful hair!
“The bangs were supposed to be pretty for my prince!!!”
Nene screamed to herself. She sighed dejectedly as she swept up the hair into a plastic bag. She sighed as she placed the scissors away. She sighed as she walked outside to the trashcan to drop the bag of hair in it. She sighed when she stared at herself at a mirror once more, trying to regain her senses.
“My prince will never like me now,” Nene muttered. Nene was sitting on a chair near her desk with the mirror. She glanced at her feet and frowned, “Not with these legs,” she picked up the small bits of her crooked bangs, “nor these uncool bangs.”
Nene groaned as she covered her face in shame. Perfect, not to mention she had to go to school tomorrow. There wasn’t any magical serum that would help her grow her bangs back.
Nene peeked from under her fingers at the mirror and slowly slid her hands off of where her bangs were. She could hope it was a dream. It was a dream! It was a-!
“Nooo~pe,” Nene slammed her head on the table.
It was still hideous.
…
Nene stared awkwardly at her hands. The school was unfathomably awkward. No one would talk to her, no one would look at her, and no one acted as if she existed. She buried her face into her hands; she wished she was back with her grandparents and with her old friends at her old school.
“Hello~!”
Nene snapped her head up to see the prettiest girl in the class. She caught the other students glancing at her and the other girl from their groups. Great.
“Umm,” okay Nene, this is your chance to look awesome! “H-Hi.”
Dang it! Nene screamed internally, I messed up!!!
That induced a soft giggle from the other girl.
“I’m Aoi Akane,” Aoi introduced herself, “You can call me Aoi-chan if you want to! You’re the transfer student, right, Nene-chan? Let’s be friends!”
Nene could only smile nervously at the pretty, but intense girl. She was already enforcing the rule that Nene would talk to her on a first name basis. Not only that, she decided to skip the part where she would have to ask Nene permission to use her first name.
BUT THAT DIDN’T MATTER!
Nene wept tears of joy internally. This beautiful girl, who probably never gets refused on dates, asked if she could be friends with Nene! The girl was a literal angel flying from above sprinkling second chances and friendship to end the loneliness in Nene’s soul! She was a savior! A beauty!
“Okay, Aoi-chan,” Nene complied to the request. “What do you want to talk about?”
“Hmm,” Aoi tapped her chin as she pulled the nearest chair to Nene’s desk. She sat down and smiled. “What about hobbies?”
“Hobbies?” Nene thought back to all of her failed endeavors, “Umm, well I guess I cook, clean, take care of my hamster and umm… do yardwork…?”
“Do you like planting?” Aoi quickly picked a conversation starter.
“Yeah, I do,” Nene admitted. It was something she started for a middle school crush. Nothing happened, but she did end up with a pretty good life skill, so she continued to plant and harvest vegetables. She even started her own garden back at the estate.
“Would you like to join start a club about with me?” Aoi asked with her eyes alight. “I always wanted to make a club and I think a gardening club is just perfect! What do you think, Nene-chan?”
“I think,” Nene sniffled internally; I think you are too pure and good for the world Aoi-chan! “I think that’s a great idea! I’ll certainly help you!”
“Oh good!” Aoi clapped her hands, “You can be the President and I can be your vice president!”
“Eh?” Nene blinked in shock, “Don’t you want to be President Aoi-chan?”
“Oh no,” Aoi giggled, “I want to make a club, but I don’t exactly want to lead it. Let’s just settle with me being the vice president!”
“Can we make a club with only two people?”
“Yup~!” Aoi answered Nene’s question with a large grin, “I have a friend who is in the student council. I’m sure he’ll help us.”
“Oh, okay,” Nene smiled.
So school ended with Nene making a new friend; someone who didn’t comment on her abnormally swollen legs or make fun of her behavior. She released a breath of relief as she stepped outside the school campus.
…
…
…
Only to be tackled down.
“Ah!!!”
Nene screeched as she fell onto the concrete. Luckily she only bruised the edge of her palm. Suddenly she was pushed down and she felt someone get on top of her.
“You…”
A creepy voice spoke behind her. It was obviously a male, probably a young boy.
“You spent the entire day with Aochan,” the voice growled.
Nene couldn’t look back to see behind her. She was terrified to say the least of her situation.
“How could you take up so much of her time?! You greedy creep!” Nene was frozen in terror, but it subsided when she noticed that the speaking perpetrator was crying. There were tears staining the concrete. “How could you take away Aochan from me? Am I not good enough?”
Nene suddenly felt less intimidated and more pitiful. The poor stalker… He was a creep, but she wasn’t going to tell him out right.
“Err, umm…” Nene coughed. “I’m only friends with Aochan, she’s really pretty, but she’s not my type… so…”
“Really?” The boy sniffled. Nene furiously nodded. The boy finally released her and forced her to look the other way. “Okay… I’ll trust you Yashiro-san. Please, don’t disappoint me.”
Nene walked straight ahead without turning her head. She had no need to, the boy was sniffling and that murderous aura has dissipated. Also, although Nene had no need to, she ran as fast as she could back home. She did not want to get caught again.
Her mind was getting dizzy. Why was Aoi so popular?!
Nene continued to run to the mansion.
“Off!”
“Wah!”
Nene bumped into a boy. Her eyes went round as did the Amber eyes of the boy’s eyes.
With her arms stretched out, she fell on him.
Then there was a lot of dust and she coughed. In her horror, where the boy was a few seconds ago, there was a black cat in his place, the clothes the boy was wearing draped over him.
”...”
“...”
“...”
“Meow?”
Of course…
Nene screamed.

dance
parent! midoriya izuku x f! reader
——more soft parent au:). i’ve never written for izuku before but !!! i tried. be nice to me pls:,) also i went to tampa bay comic con and !!! it was incredible
He was nervous, to say the least. No, nervous was an understatement. He was borderline anxious as he pulled on his suit jacket and fiddled with his tie. He couldn’t seem to get the loop through the hole with his shaky hands.
You were helping your nine year old, Kiyoko, get dressed for the annual Daddy Daughter Dance her school held every year. She had never wanted to attend in past years, but she heard Bakugou’s daughter Akane mention she would be going and that’s all it took for her to want to go. The two were peas in a pod, to Bakugou’s dismay.
Izuku was lead out of his thoughts from a soft knock on the bedroom door.
“Y-Yeah?” He called out, frowning at how he stuttered.
You came into the room looking beautiful as ever, despite you still wearing your pjs.
“The princess is almost ready.” You said with a hum, moving over to him and taking the tie from him with nimble fingers, finishing the loop and tightening it so it looked presentable. “Why are you frowning?”
There was nothing but kindness in your gaze as you asked, hand still loosely holding onto his now finished tie.
“‘M just nervous.” He mumbled, looking away from your caring gaze.
It was your turn to frown, turning his head back to face you.
“She can’t stop talking about how excited she is.” You whispered, gripping his tie a little tighter and pulling him down to meet you lips softly. He smiled into the kiss, cupping one of your cheeks affectionately before pulling away, rubbing your cheek with his thumb softly.
“When do I get to see our princess?” He asked, any and all nervousness now leaving his body.
There was a soft knock on the door and you grinned, “Right now.”
You opened the door, and there she was. Curly (H/C) hair and bright green eyes shone as you did. He took in the cute dress she was wearing, smiling even harder at the fact that it was designed after his hero suit. Green with a white bow around her waist. He then looked back at her face before gasping dramatically.
“Are you wearing makeup?!”
She nodded excitedly, looking between you and Izuku, “Mhm!! Mommy helped me with it!”
“Well mommy did a wonderful job!”
“Let me take some pictures.” You said as he scooped Kiyoko into his arms, giving her kisses all over her face as she giggled.
You snapped one of that, smiling at how soft it was. Then he just posed in front of the door, holding her as she had her arms wrapped around his neck with the biggest grin she could muster. You motioned for him to put her down, and he did, kneeling beside her and kissing her cheek.
He snapped his fingers, getting up quickly, “I almost forgot!” Before moving to rummage through the beside table drawer, pulling out a small box. “I got you a present.” He said softly, kneeling back in front of Kiyoko and opening the box, clipping the necklace on and then fixing her hair around it. It was a small, heart shaped necklace with a green emerald in the center.
You took a couple pictures of him putting it on her.
After that, you straightened her poofy dress and hair, your husbands tie and suit jacket, and kissed them both on their cheeks as they made their way out the door. Izuku was going to drive them. It started at six and ended around ten, though you were sure they’d head home earlier because she was usually asleep by 8:30.
With final kisses, you wished Izuku good luck and only closed the door after ensuring they were both safe in the car.
—————————
They ended up coming back at 8:52. You were sitting on the couch watching a movie when Izuku opened the door, Kiyoko asleep in his arms. You smiled fondly at the two, putting down your cup of tea and going to take her from his arms and put her in bed while he got changed.
You managed to wake her long enough to take the little bit of blush and eyeshadow off and shimmy her out of the dress and into pajamas before tucking her in and kissing her goodnight.
When you came back to the living room, Izuku was in sweatpants and a t-shirt on the couch. You moved to lay your head in his lap, his hand coming up the stroke your cheek affectionately.
“How was it?” You asked softly, looking up at him through your lashes.
He smiled, looking down at you, “It was great. She had lots of fun.”
“That’s good.” You whispered, leaning into his touch.
“Kacchan didn’t try to kill me.” He smiled even harder, “Though I think it was for Kiyoko and Akane’s sake.”
“Progress is progress.” You laughed a little.
The night was more of a success than he could’ve ever hoped for.

Omegaverse Fantasy AU (Approximately in a Steampunk/1920’s transition period): King Gundham has recently been crowned king in his own right after a rather long regency (his father was assassinated when he was younger, not that he’s too upset, since his dad was a violent asshole who never treated Gundham’s mother well. Gundham was their only child, so he became king.) Now that he’s king, his mother tells him that the council is expecting him to start considering who he wants as a mate. He’s not very happy about this, since he’s painfully shy and he doesn’t want to be forced to choose a mate, but this is his mother and he loves her, so Gundham agrees to perform the Soulmate Ceremony.
The Soulmate Ceremony is a magical/religious ceremony where an unmated royal would have a magical rite performed and, at the end, it will show their ideal mate. It works best when the royal is rather open with their intentions and when the ideal mate is shown as actually obtainable (or within their acceptable social range), but plenty of royals have wed ideal mates that are way out of their social circle or required great lengths to even meet in person, much less mate. The Tanakas haven’t had the ritual done for their family members in centuries, mostly getting into political marriages or, on occasion, never officially mating the other parent of their children. But Gundham has much more faith and interest in magic, no prior engagement, and absolutely no interest in trying to woo one of the dams that are practically falling over themselves for him (combination of shyness and disinterest in most, if not all of them).
Sonia, Gundham’s best (and only) friend and a very capable mage in her own right, visits with her wife, Kyoko (they met through an international smuggling case Kyoko was working on), and Gundham asks her to help perform the Soulmate Ceremony, since he can’t do it by himself and he doesn’t want to bring in someone he doesn’t know to help set him up with who is supposed to be the love of his life. Sonia gladly accepts and by the next day, the preparations for the ceremony are complete and Gundham is pacing anxiously in a private chamber next to his throne room out of nervousness (though he would never admit it).
Gundham’s mother, being the saint she is, tells him that he doesn’t have to go through with the ceremony if he doesn’t want to or even get a mate if he doesn’t want to but Gundham reassures her, telling her that he’ll go through with the ceremony. Mother and son share a very sweet hug and they head out into the throne room, which is absolutely filled with the press because a Tanaka hasn’t had the ceremony performed in centuries and this is a super significant event that determines the future stability of the nation.
The ritual goes ahead and, appearing in the magic smoke from the incense, is the technomage (a person with control over technology and who creates such advanced tech that it might as well be magic, never has much, if any actual magic) Kazuichi, who lives near the dragon-infested mountains on the border and has quite a few nasty rumors surrounding him, including him killing his own father and laying waste to his home village with his inventions when the authorities came to arrest him for the murder.
Gundham is smitten instantly, of course, despite the terror and horror from about half of the visitors to the castle and the frantic flood of questions from the press about what the hell that means for their royal family and country (Gundham’s mother is mostly happy that Gundham’s happy; Sonia’s happy that the ritual worked (at least he didn’t go into an allergic shock from the incense like her cousin Nagito did during his ritual) and Gundham’s clearly smitten with Kazuichi; Kyoko’s mentally evaluating all of the information she knows about Gundham’s preferences and how well Kazuichi matches up with them).
Now, Kazuichi has not done anything from the rather nasty rumors about him; he just ran away from his village to the mountains by using his technology (Which includes humongous magic crystal-powered mecha that he can never actually ride in before getting motion sick from the first step of the mecha) and he quite ardently refuses to interact with anyone that tries to use his technology for malicious purposes, sires from town that won’t take a hint, or the nosy press (he’s got a security system surrounding his property which he activates at will to take out unwanted guests).
He’s taking a social call from his two friends and fellow technomages Chihiro and Miu when there is some rather firm, repeated knocking on his cottage door. He’s not expecting anyone, which confuses him a lot, so he gets up from their planning table to answer the door. Which is when he opens the door to see the actual King standing there (holding a bouquet and blushing bright red into his customary scarf?) flanked by two royal guards (Nekomaru and Akane) and a larger royal retinue and press corp standing just 30 ft behind the King, which he can’t really see because both guards and the King (the actual King!) are very broad and buff, especially the King who looks so much bigger than in the papers (did he mention that this was the actual king?!?)
Gundham is quietly talking with Nekomaru and Akane (they’re giving him a pep talk before he actually talks to Kazuichi) when the door opens and he sees Kazuichi answer the door in messy simple workman’s clothes and wow, he looks so much more attractive in person and his scent is amazing and Gundham can feel himself blush into his scarf, oh, Great Spirits, speak you fool!!
And before Gundham can get a word out, Kazuichi shrieks and shuts the door behind him. And the press caught every moment of it. So this is going to be much more difficult than anyone thought.
—
Mod: The way you wrote this made me laugh so much, especially the end with all the emphasises and their thoughts in the text. Though the best part is by far the fact that Kazuichi’s only reaction to the king is shrieking in fear and slamming the door into his face, for everyone to see and enjoy. (Though the mentioning that Nagito went into an allergic shock when he did the ritual was funny as well, even if I feel so bad for him ^^” But it’s fitting, since this is Nagito and almost dying in exchange for finding his soulmate is just how he works ^^”)
When Gundham does the ritual I could so see him not actually really believing that anything would come out of it. Not because he doesn’t believe in it, but because he likes to pretend that he’s an evil overlord he needs no one and is destined to walk the world alone. Which is nothing more than him trying to hide that he is probably shaking from nervousness and shyness about the prospect of having to court and mate someone. At least until he actually sees Kazuichi and instantly falls in love. No matter if other’s might be in shock that this was supposedly a wanted murderer. Though to his luck he is friends with Kyoko who would be fast to find out what really happened with Kaz’s old village and his dad
The courting would be a pure adventure, because one of the first things Gundham needs to do is actually get close to Kazuichi, who has a lot of high level technology solely designed to keep people away from him. That Kazuichi probably also fears that the king is there to arrest him or force him to give him his service as a inventor to build him god know what also doesn’t help, because no one ever wanted anything else from the poor guy. Though then imagine Kaz’s reaction when he actually learns that the king doesn’t want him in prison or as an inventor for deadly machines, but actually wants him as his mate and future queen. Him, as the queen of the whole kingdom. Now that is something to kick off his anxiety x)
I could also imagine that many within the kingdom, and also the royal court, wouldn’t be very trusting of Kazuichi as a future queen (and maybe also question it if a guy who is destined to love a “wanted criminal” would be a good king) and try to get in-between the courtship or even try to get rid of Kazuichi altogether. This could add in quite a lot of drama

Bad Things Happen Bingo! The event where you send me requests according to this marvelous card!
(Red cross is the completed prompt, character headshots are prompts I’ve already filled. Green deltas are for requested prompts.)
There’s a reason why Chronos was such a cruel god.
I almost forgot to post this fic... I started it a while back, got art block, and only went back to it during a boring geography lesson during Whumptober. It was also not meant to be an Inazuma fic, but sometimes I have a weird creativity and muse. Don't ask me, the wonders of the human mind I guess.
It'll come to literally nobody's surprise that I ship Anna and Nosaka because I'm the token F/M shipper of the main fanfic writers of this fandom (y'know, gotta contrast my colleagues and provide the stuff nobody but me and maybe an IRL friend wants). I'm surprised I've never managed to finish a fic with them before, tho: yes, the previous prompt fill, "Bedside Vigil" was supposed to be for them until I switched to Haizaki/Akane over... my Tomodachi Life game immediately pairing them up (true story).
Anyway. This fic does imply to a road accident of some sort, so if you're sensitive to this kind of topic (for which you're entirely justified, tbh, that's coming from someone who's almost been in one), proceed with caution. It's nothing graphic or anything, just floating in the background of this story, though.
I also almost forgot to mention this is supposed to be set in my Inazuma Café AU, but the only reason why you need to know that is because they're college students there, and why Anna and Hikaru are as friendly to each other as they are here. I mean, if you wanna know more, I'll gladly respond to questions.
It’s also the last story I can write for this card without getting a Five in a Row, which I may or may not have done on purpose lol
---------
For Time Cannot Be Accelerated
Summary: Anna didn't think ambulance rides could last this long on the mind. She was seriously proven wrong.
Fandom: Inazuma Eleven (Ares/Orion continuity; implied college AU)
Relationships: Platonic Anna & Hikaru friendship, implied established Anna/Nosaka
Wordcount: 1.7K words
Content Warnings: Implied road accident, talks of death, some blood and talk of injury.
Event hosted by @badthingshappenbingo
AO3 version available here.
-------
They’re all tense in the ambulance. It doesn’t help that they share a small space amongst themselves, all cranked in one back of a truck that had clearly been made to have one stretcher and the paramedics watching over it. Nobody talks, except the latter amongst themselves in the front of the ambulance and through the vehicle. Instead, they don’t look at each other, too busy staring at the floor or their responsibility.
Anna has opted for the floor, for the time being.
It’s overwhelming to remain here, in a crowded place where she felt alone nonetheless, drowned in the noise of the beeping machinery and blaring sirens echoing on the inside, feet surrounded by wires, hands trembling and sorrow she desperately kept inside. Her thoughts are still shaken from what had happened merely moments before, isolating her even further, words having escaped from her mouth and her vocal cords remaining knotted with no throat clearing able to untie them back to usefulness. She’s speechless, voiceless, useless.
Her shoulder is pressed against Ichihoshi’s, whose hand happens to sometimes brush against her naked arms. From what little she can see of his face, drowned in the darkness of the vehicle and lit by the unstable, flickering coloured lights of the different monitors crippling her earing, he isn’t any more relaxed than she was, shoulders stiff and frowned eyebrows, biting his lip, trying not to fidget with his fingers. She feels like she should be telling him something to make him untense, but considering how tense she also is, she has no idea what she’s even supposed to utter. Her mental syllabus has given up on her for the time being.
In this moment of despair and desolation, Anna still admires the valiant efforts of the paramedics making sense of the numbers displayed on tiny screens and muttering a language she doesn’t understand most of, words whose meaning she has no idea of flying way over her head. They’ve kept their cool when she was on the verge of tears, an unknown yet powerful force preventing her from falling to her knees and weeping like she is, frankly, wanting to do above everything else. Still, she’s the Empress, and no Empress has ever cried when her capacity of judgement was needed.
The air of the ambulance was hot, too much so, smothering both Ichihoshi and her. If she could take a breather outside, even if it’d be for a mere moment or from a minuscule hole, her head would spin far less quickly, her world would stabilize, her mind would be much further from the verge of breaking down under its own weight. She craves tranquillity and serenity, two states of mind she’s meant to have and yet lacked in these desperate moments.
Anna has started finding ways to recover her calm. The floor of the ambulance which seemed highly uncomfortable and disgustingly dirty when she climbed in now looked more than comfortable enough to her, but they lacked the space to even attempt sitting down. Before long, she’s realized the hard reality of things: there’s no way for her to get even the slightest bit more comfortable, and despite the speeds this vehicle is going at, it’s still taking ages in her mind.
In a way, it reminds her of being on a sinking ship, swimming in the cold sea, except she doesn’t even have the merit of risking hypothermia because she’s boarding on a rescue boat while someone else is pushing it, giving their skin to the freezing waters and floating debris. Morbid imagery she tries to erase out of her mind as soon as possible, yet the beating of her heart making itself known in her head and neck prevent her from not thinking about death nor debris.
“I… I hope everything will be alright,” Ichihoshi eventually stutters, in an almost-whisper, voice hiding behind the ill-paced cacophony.
“So do I,” she replies as she notices something was dripping along her skin, eyeing the liquid going down her arm. Drifting her glance in its direction, she sees he’s holding his right arm with his left hand pressed against his jacket’s fabric, a faint difference in colours showing up in the mostly uniform light blue-and-red that his white sleeves had become.
As a result, her voice changes in tone, “are you okay, Ichihoshi?”
“It stings, but it’s nothing too bad. I’ll have it checked when we’ll arrive.”
The trembling, weakness in his own voice makes her more than doubtful of his statement. He’s unstable on his feet, almost swaying, crashing into her when the ambulance unfortunately shifted too quickly for him to catch himself on something, fingers slipping on the metal walls. She barely catches him with weak arms, legs feeling fainter until she’s stabilized him on his feet.
“I don’t believe that it can’t be ‘too bad’, if you’re tilting this much,” she tells him, even more concern melting into acid. “Let me see”.
A sense of responsibility gives her back some of her stability, legs straightening up, eyes sharper as she tried to see in the half-dark. Without a word, she took off her comrade’s sleeve, noticing the sharp contrast marked by what could only be a wound. It seems like a deep cut, with shards reflecting the dim lights visibly exiting from it. Her hair rises on her limbs as soon as she knows what this is about.
“How long do we have left until we arrive?” She demands, in an imploring voice, to the paramedics.
They’re not able to provide a clear time, “a couple minutes left, traffic’s really bad, our apologies”, so she has to deal with it and simply keep Ichihoshi close to her, making sure he doesn’t trip on himself, inspecting for other wounds he could have. Aside from his arm, she thinks she sees a stain on his stomach and another on his right leg, although they’re less noticeable and she kind of sighs in relief to herself about that fact. It must mean they’re less grievous than the one she saw first.
“I really hope he’s gonna be okay…” Ichihoshi whispers close to her ear, back lying against the metal.
The concern she’s tried to hold in until now by thinking of something else and failing to fully do so breaks through the gates and floods her mind again. She has too much to worry about and not enough available space, the scratches on her knees and elbows from the glass shards paling in comparison to the anguish that this ambulance ride is starting to become.
“Same here…” Her voice almost chokes on itself, but she breathes in and out, swallows her pride and her stress in one gulp, and continues speaking as not to betray her actual state of mind. “I’m sure he’ll be fine, he’s pulled through worse, I know it…”
Her hands still enlace themselves in a silent prayer she tries to hide from the world.
“He’ll… be fine. He will be fine.”
She wants to cry.
“You’re right. Surely he’ll make it…”
Anna isn’t lying to reassure herself, merely speaking her truth. Yuuma has always proven himself to being capable of the most daring stunts, even life-threatening ones. While she doesn’t think she’ll ever be able to fully forgive him hiding his tumour away from her for reasons he’s never quite told her about, merely tune down the hurt he’s caused her by taking in account the reasons he did so; she has to use it as proof it should be fine. She only has hope to keep herself afloat now, her reason having fled the scene.
Yuuma is capable of great things, that much she’s sure of. She doesn’t know him entirely yet, and is certain she won’t ever be able to fully understand his character, yet she trusts him with her own life and, in these dire moments, he needs her. He needs her to remain strong and level-headed, to withstand the pressure and the desolation taking root inside her heart. They’ve promised to remain together and be there for each other: it’s time for her to fulfil her part of the trade.
Plus, from the three of them involved in this tragic accident, she’s the only one who has grazes instead of injuries. She also has to keep an eye on Ichihoshi on behalf of both Yuuma and her.
“He’ll make it. I’m certain of it,” she repeats, more to herself than to her friend.
“I’m sure of it too,” he adds, in a similar fashion, and they’re back to both silently pray in silence as time slowly flows before their eyes, like the calm waves of a serene beach coming and going. If she closes her eyes and tries ignoring reality enough, she can almost hear the sea instead of sirens and cryptic whispers.
“And you? Are you okay?” she asks, her hands leaving their praying position, about to inspect her friend.
“I’ll be fine…”
He sounds too unsure to her liking, but before she can even comment on that, the atmosphere changes as she hears in echoes the nearby sirens of other ambulances.
This is when Anna realizes that she couldn’t have been more relieved to see a hospital in her life, making sights she’d have wished never to see again some she was looking forward to: the paramedics shifting around the stretches and talking among themselves in a slightly different way, the monitors displaying new numbers, men shouting in an urgent tone. Almost unbeknownst to them, they were holding each other’s arm for support in dire times, the smell of iron sticking to his skin, her composure coming back despite the tears having taken away some of her makeup.
They’re most likely both ugly sights too, but they’re alive, they’ve arrived, and it’ll all be fine, eventually. For now, they step down from the ambulance, his arm wrapped around her shoulders. Despite the circumstances, neither of them succumb to their darker thoughts and bruises, not a complaint heard despite Ichihoshi grunting in pain from time to time and her lack of balance and remaining strength to carry the both of them without herself panting.
Still, Anna is the Empress, this much she knows; and an empress remains strong, no matter the circumstances. She’ll trust Yuuma and bring Ichihoshi to someone who can help tend to his wounds. That’s her mission and she’ll make sure to accomplish.

Fics I sorta want to write, sorta don’t want to, probably never will (a non-exhaustive list)
A:tla/LoK
Of the inequality of palindromes
What it is : A canon divergence in which Noatak and Tarrlok leave together, build the Equalists much earlier, and the world once more descends into war. Avatar Aang is killed, Equalists occupy most of Earth Kingdom and spread the mercy of the Spirits-sent brothers who will make all equal, and a young Korra is raised behind the walls of the Northern Water Tribe. Also Jet is here, somehow, and would probably be one of the PoV characters, maybe along with Tarrlok ?
Why I want to write it : Lots of potential here for a lot of stuff, I’ve always loved Tarrlok and Noatak’s story, I already made a few sketches after the inciting dream and I kind of like what this all looks like. Lots of situations, lots of characters, lots of trauma. I feel like it could work with a non-chronological storytelling - or at least less chronological than A viper-lizard’s tales - and I’m curious to see how I would go about structuring that.
Why I don’t want to : The Timeline Is Fucked !!! I seriously have no idea what would be going on with the dates and ages of most characters and just trying to figure out and make sense of that stuff is killing me. Also, it would be Long, and Viper-lizard will probably have exhausted me by the time I finish it, so starting another long fic would be. HHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ace Attorney
I will fill your thermos with Worcester sauce or so help me
What it is : A canon divergence in which bratty prosecutor Miles Edgeworth and Diego “I think I am a good person but I’m barely there” Armando somehow join forces to take down Dahlia. They’re both douchebags who despise each other. It’s a great collaboration. They meet one young and innocent Phoenix Wright at the legal library and it’s all downhill from there.
Why I want to write it : Douchebag duo !! Reluctantly working together !! I want these two to interact and to barely resist kicking each other in the shins like the little brats they are. And well, I’ve already made Content(TM) for this, so I’d say it speaks to how much I like the idea. There is a scenario somewhere in my mind and in the sketches I did.
Why I don’t want to : I’m barely in this fandom anymore (if I ever really was) and I don’t like research. What the fuck is a legalese and do I need to know it to write about lawyers ? Whatever the answer may be, I’ll have to look shit up, and it will take time, and I’ll get distracted, and the fic will never write itself.
Hannibal (NBC)
Ode au pêcheur (long ver.)
What it is : A role-reversal AU, in which Hannibal is not a cannibal but still a psychiatrist, and Will is a teacher and profiler with a, uh, taste for uncommon meats. They still meet during the Shrike case, which is what the current Ode au pêcheur is about, and this would be the following events.
Why I want to write it : For one, I already wrote a short piece for this verse, so jot that down. But also I want to explore the change in dynamics, and also Hannibal being completely fucked up but in a different way. And writing Will as this kind of mysterious and fascinating being through Hannibal’s eyes... yeah, that’d be good.
Why I don’t want to : I spent hours reading the scripts, deciding what I would and would not keep, how to phrase it, for a 878 words standalone. I do Not want to know what I’d do with a long fic.
Six Sibylline Books (oracles willfully blind)
What it is : A Psycho Pass AU, with Will as an Enforcer specializing in profiling, having been declared a Latent Criminal since he was 6, because of his high empathy. He lives in fear of the day his Coefficient will reach 300. Hannibal is, of course, criminally asymptomatic, and working as a therapist for the government.
Why I want to write it : Let’s be honest, these two in the Sibyl System would be a fucking mess, and I for one am here for it. Mostly I want to see Will struggle with his place in this world, and watch what his Becoming would be like. Hannibal as a worse version of Makishima who just does shit for fun is terrible too, I love it. He probably wouldn’t even try to do a revolution and pretend to help people, the asshole.
Why I don’t want to : I Would Die. Two very complicated shows with literary references and philosophy mixed in just about every sentence, and a very well-rounded world as the setting ? Instant death. Or a very slow one, induced by the constant need to reference every little detail.
Kekkai Sensen
Fallen Hellsalem
What it is : A noir AU in which Daniel Law is a hardboiled detective who has been looking for answers regarding the disappearance of his younger twin brother for the past three years. A two-parters (by which I mean, two fics of consequent length, or a Huge fic with two very long main arcs), with the first case introducing the world through Steven A Starphase being accused of murder and needing Daniel’s help to find the real culprit. Turns out he didn’t do This murder but is also a crime lord involved in the disappearance of many other people, reigniting Daniel’s quest for answers. The second case is actually much more focused on the actual investigation surrounding Marcus’ disappearance, with Daniel gaining an apprentice in the person of Leonardo Watch, and learning to let go of the past a little.
Why I want to write it : I made a 5 page comic of the very first scene in 20 days. I just really like the noir aesthetics, and also Daniel. I have something resembling the beginning of an actual plot. I love Daniel. Did I mention I love Daniel ? It would be very interesting to have to actually think things in advance and build a case that makes sense.
Why I don’t want to : It would be so much work !! Two parts ?? Two fics for one story ? Or even just a Mega Fic - I would just fucking die. Also, while having to figure out how to build a case that makes sense is a fine challenge, it’s also a Lot of work, especially when I’m more the type of writer to figure stuff out as it comes, or to plan for Big Emotional moments and then turn the plot around it so that it all works organically. I’m not really a planner of plots, more of scenes. Plots kinda just happen. And that doesn’t fly for detective stories if you want it to be decent.

Psycho Pass
The blind Sibylla (long ver.)
What it is : A canon divergence directly following the events of The blind Sibylla (in which Akane shot Makishima during episode 11). Makishima didn’t die but is injured, still somehow escapes ; meanwhile Akane is kind of scouted by Sibyl because she shot a guy with the intention to kill him and her Crime Coefficient didn’t rise, and she considers the offer. Kogami gets a phone call that leaves him sick to his stomach, and he too has to make a choice.
Why I want to write it : I mean, I already wrote two short chapters on impulse, so it’s more of “why I want to continue it”. Anyway the answer is that I’ve got ideas and I want to see where they go. Also if I can get Kagari and Choe Gu Sung to stay alive that would be swell.
Why I don’t want to : Psycho Pass Is Complicated. The worldbuilding is on point, but that also means fucking it up is incredibly easy. Also the literary references. It would be a lot more work than I am used to putting into my writing and I really don’t feel like memorizing the wiki and constantly rewatching the series just to get everything as accurate as possible.
Reborn
The illusion of love and the reality of hate
What it is : A TYL 186918 story about Hibari and Mukuro navigating their hate-relationship and trying to make it work. Especially after Mukuro was thought to have been killed by Byakuran. Would involve Mukuro asking Ryohei for advice because he is literally the only person in a stable relationship who has any idea what he’s doing, and also he knows what Hibari is like. A contract is drafted. I’m not saying Mukuro and Hibari get hate-married but. They get hate-married. Kind of.
Why I want to write it : I’ve wanted to explore a full-blown, healthy blackrom for a while now, and these two are one of my oldest ships, and also one I’ve written a lot for in the past. Love me a good mix of fucked up shit and humor. And boy would there be fucked up shit between these two.
Why I don’t want to : Two words : Sex Scenes. I can’t imagine this story (or this relationship, for that matter) without sex, as it would be one of the most primal way they have of communicating with each other, along with fighting. But I’ve never written smut in my life. Also I barely remember the TYL arc (better than the later ones, but not by much) so I’d have to look that up again, and probably more (likely re-reading the whole thing), but that’s a minor issue.
Red Raven
Cave Canem
What it is : An early canon divergence in which Ricardo gets lost in the panic of the five days of blood and is believed to be dead, while Walter meets Calogero at Castor Arte and decides to follow him around out of a mutual hatred of the Scaggs. Anyway Ricardo joins the Red Ravens because he believes he was abandoned and can’t trust the mafia anymore, while Walter more or less gets adopted by Calogero and becomes Laura’s right hand.
Why I want to write it : I just. I love this manga so goddamn much,,,,,,, Also Walter and Ricardo are very similar while being pretty different, and the changes in dynamics a switch would make are. Pretty darn interesting. I made sketches. I want to see what would stay the same and what would go differently. I want to send more Red Raven content into this world.
Why I don’t want to : This fandom is comprised of three people and a crow, and I know myself well enough to be certain I’ll have trouble staying motivated in these conditions. Also this would be Long, I can feel it. And I don’t really have a scenario planned, so that’s that.
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Snow blossoms
What it is : A canon divergence (?) in which Fai (the dead one, not our Fye) is a dream-walker and meets child Kurogane a few times this way. At one point, Kurogane promises to find Fai and Yui and to help them, no matter what. Later, the then grown Kurogane is eternally confused by Fye’s presence for one more reason.
Why I want to write it : It’s an old headcanon of mine that Fai is a dream-walker, I figured I might as well do something with it. Also I want to write this kid !! Give him some life !! And of course the KuroFye angst might just triple from this. Also, the truth is that I started this one (in January 2018...), and it looks promising. I already have a structure for the first arc, so that’s neat.
Why I don’t want to : For one, it would be Long, and as mentioned earlier in this post, I don’t think I’d have the strength to go through this again. For two, TRC is a cool story that I like a lot, but I hardly think about it anymore most of the time.
W.I.T.C.H.
Whispers under my skin
What it is : A canon divergence in which Cedric (still in his kind librarian skin) seduces Matt as a way to get to Will, and it backfires horribly when he realizes he is loved by this human and Phobos will never love him like that, and he will never get what he really wants. So at the final battle in Meridian, instead of going full Super Saiyan Lizard, he betrays Phobos. He gets badly injured, but he also gains a half-freedom as thanks from Kandrakar, in the way of a human life (plus some minor magic if the girls allow him to) and a duty to help the Guardians in their mission.
Why I want to write it : Like many of my dream-inspired things, it is very weird, and for once I think it’s a very good thing. Yes I had a dream in which Matt and Cedric had A Thing, no don’t ask me how that happened I don’t control my brain. Anyway, I’ve always liked Cedric and I want to explore his character, and the dynamics he could form with the girls in such different circumstances. Also, I’d get to play around with the magic system, which is very cool.
Why I don’t want to : I re-read my w.i.t.c.h. comics maybe once every two years, and while some of them still make me cry (why did you have to die you filthy lizard man), it’s probably not enough of a basis to start a Long Fic. Also it would be Long and I am tired. And ! I don’t have nearly enough references at home and that means I’d have to look shit up, and the wiki is Not Great, from what I’ve seen.
#shut up yumi#fics ill probably never write#you are all free to ask more about any of these. or just to ask me if im alright#i also want to write some cableshipping someday but i have even less of an idea for that so#like ive got headcanons but i dont have a scenario#and like i said this is a non-exhaustive list#and theres a lot of stuff i dont want to write but still want to draw a lot for (like the kazetsuyo AUs or the aa atla AU)#and of course theres the 'i want to write it and i hope i will someday' category which is not this one#but to which the twewy fantasy AU belongs#theres no 'sorta dont want to' for this one i really want to make stuff i just never do#btw most of these title are non-definitive in theory
