Prompts?

As we prepare for the next event after the Gift Exchange, we wanted to ask for some participation before we announce it. By participation, we are requesting for you to submit some one word prompts to be used in the event!

The event is a rare pair event called ANS Rare Pair Scramble, if that helps with brainstorming prompts or adds extra motivation! The event will properly be announced after the prompts submission deadline ends.

The more the merrier as far as prompts go!

Prompt submission starts today and goes through the end of June! Here's where you can submit your prompts for the Rare Pair Scramble. (Link down below).

[x-authorship-x]

Can I ask who's Obi and what's AnS? I've seen you mention them sometimes and I think I've seen you reblog things on it? But I never looked it up, but since you have amazing tastes in fictional men you got me curious now

Hehehe, Anon, you're in for a lot of gushing...

AnS/SWTRH: Akagami no Shirayuki-hime/Snow White with the Red Hair is a manga (with only one season of anime rip) and it was actually my first real manga love. That's right folks, my Obi love predates Shisui!

I don't want to spoil it too much for you if you decide to have a go at it but, basics are:

Shirayuki is a herbalist in the Kingdom of Tanbarun who was born with striking crimson hair, which garners a lot of attention for her. When she's forced to run, she makes it over the border into the neighbouring kingdom of Clarines as a kind of refugee. She meets and gains the aid of the Second Prince, Zen, and his two Knight aids, Kiki and Mitsuhide. Shirayuki and Zen are the main pairing in the anime. Shirayuki joins the gang by apprenticing as a herbalist at the Royal Infirmary.

Here's a manga cover: (bottom right to left going upwards clockwise) Shirayuki, Zen, Kiki, Mitsuhide, and then... Obi

I'll try not to devolve lol

Obi, who is the tritagonist, was hired by a minor antagonist in the castle to basically... scare Shirayuki off from 'befriending' (in the shipping way, yk?) Zen, but nothing he does works. In watching her, Obi becomes curious about the kind of stubborn, sensitive, intelligent, kind woman that Shirayuki is. Through a series of events, Obi is taken on as one of Zen's attendants, going so far as to call the prince 'Master', and becomes Shirayuki's bodyguard and partner in crime during her adventures. He refuses to address her by name and only calls her 'miss'. Obi eventually comes to fall in love with Shirayuki, which Zen is aware of but Shirayuki is not, but he loves Shirayuki and values Zen too much to even consider speaking of it, not to mention his own beliefs that he is unworthy. Obi has a very mysterious past, not just because he has a lot of dubious skills with fighting, parkour, thievery and espionage, but because we don't actually know where he's from etc. Needless to say, I am hardcore ObiYuki allllll the way.

Obi:

He's just-!!!! He's very playful and evasive and you can tell he really doesn't value himself as much as he does the people around him. Even when Knighted, he's still got this image of himself as a dirty mercenary assassin trying to get by. He's flirty, a good few people polyship him with ZenYuki, but skittish of real emotion. He touched Shirayuki's shoulder once and then couldn't sleep because he was thinking about it over and over.

He and Shirayuki are low-key high-key raising a child together (Ryuu is technically Shirayuki's apprenticeship master lol child genius) and he's such a good father figure, even if he wouldn't see it that way

Obi is really sensitive, there are so many times when Shirayuki will earnestly thank him and he'll literally just... Buffer. He can swear his fealty and make sly comments about setting his life at other's feet but the moment someone suggests that they love him back?? Evasion, freezing, side eyes, wide eyes, I'm just 😩

Obi is a badass. He's literally THE badass of the show. Zen has a sword, yeah, and Kiki could kill me and I'd thank her but... Damn. Obi is doing backflips in a spar and shit, he's literally launching himself across rooftops and scaling turrets.

Obi is actually just a really wonderful person? He listens to people. He has absolutely no background or real interest in herbalism but guess what he'll fucking do? Run around on little adventures with Ryuu and Shirayuki, repotting plants under their direction, wading through ice caves to find flowers, helping them in the lab to distill essences... And he's listening and brainstorming with them! It would be so easy for his character to have passed off on it, maybe turned it into a "I'm here but not mentally" joke or maybe even just pushed to the back of these scenes but no, Obi's right in there all the time to help. Shirayuki and Zen have relationship issues? Obi doesn't even think about trying for his own agenda, he just puts supporting them (Shirayuki first, then Zen) as the top priority. Kiki and Mitsuhide in a bind? Obi will come out with a line but of course he would help them, watching carefully with concealed concern. Later, when Obi has his own duties, he's still heavily involved with the day to day research of his friends, making friends with other lab researchers outside of being Shirayuki's tagalong!

So... That's Obi! My OG babygirl!❤️✨

Hope that cleared it up for you! 🥰✨

Edit: his eyes are gold. That's the final nail in my coffin

Expressions of Love, Dancing, and Distance

A Zenyuki Valentine’s Playlist (for Week 5 by @zenyuki-festival-2021)

I had some distance themed songs compiled after making last year’s Zen playlists and I wasn’t sure where to place them in this month’s themes, so this playlist represents the Week 5 theme of physical closeness (mostly represented by dancing) and also the classic winter Lilias distance themes.

Starlight (Taylor’s Version)- Taylor Swift Stay Young, Go Dancing- Death Cab for Cutie I Remember Everything- Midnight Television (from Dave Elkins of Mae) Forever Winter (Taylor’s Version)- Taylor Swift Little Wanderer- Death Cab for Cutie All at Once- Midnight Television (from Dave Elkins of Mae) My Favorite Dream- Mae

Summary lyrics are cited after the cut:

Starlight (Taylor’s Version)- Taylor Swift

Oh my, what a marvelous tune It was the best night, never would forget how he moved The whole place was dressed to the nines And we were dancing Like we're made of starlight Like we dream impossible dreams

Stay Young, Go Dancing- Death Cab for Cutie

Life is sweet In the belly of the beast And with her song in your heart It can never bring you down

Cause when she sings, I hear a symphony And I'm swallowed in sound as it echoes through me I'm renewed, oh, how I feel alive And through winter's advancing, we'll stay young, go dancing

I Remember Everything- Midnight Television (from Dave Elkins of Mae)

Seems like only yesterday I was falling for you I remember everything and it’s coming back so clearly Time stands still for a minute

I remember every melody in my ear I remember holding you but holding back

Forever Winter (Taylor’s Version)- Taylor Swift

He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity I call just checking up on him He's up, 3 AM pacing He says, "It's not just a phase I'm in"

All this time I didn't know You were breaking down I'd fall to pieces on the floor If you weren't around

I'll be summer sun for you forever Forever winter if you go

Little Wanderer- Death Cab for Cutie

You sent a photo out your window of Tokyo Told me you were doing fine You said the cherry blossoms were blooming And that I was on your mind

You’re my wanderer, little wanderer Off across the sea Won’t you wander back to me

Always fall asleep when you’re waking I count the hours on my hands Doing the math to the time zone you’re at Is an unseen part of the plan

But if you’ll be my bluebird returning Then I’ll be your evergreen Standing tall on your horizon Guiding you home to me

And I hope your absence makes us grow fonder I hope we always feel the same When our eyes meet past security, we embrace in the baggage claim When we kiss in the baggage claim

All at Once- Midnight Television (from Dave Elkins of Mae)

To say that it was obvious is wrong I never even knew I could feel this much To say you went and planned it all along No, you never meant to take my breath away

The two of us went walking both alone I caught a glimpse and ever since, hand in hand, on and on How’d I know you’d be the one? Now I’ll never waste another day

My Favorite Dream- Mae

You are the cool wind that frees my bones And I'm so reckless when you call to me But when you're gone and I feel so alone

And there she goes at the speed of sound Oh there she goes to pull me back around

I can still remember that cold evening when we first met You had your mark on me you know you did And every note and word you sang to me Have never made their way out of my head When you're away they keep me hanging on But in our world you're only there, here until you're gone

And there she goes I still remember when you first saw me You had the mark, oh the mark of your melody I love and hate the way you're making me You make me feel like this was just another dream

#zenyuki valentine's 2022 #akagami no shirayukihime #snow white with the red hair #zenyuki #shirayuki #zen #zen wisteria #playlist #lyrics #taylor swift #death cab for cutie #midnight television #mae #playlists are my love language #also I need zenyuki baggage claim fanart please #happy early valentine's day #this event was fun!

[shima-draws]

This is gonna be pretty random and out of nowhere, but I had recently gotten into Snow White with the Red Hair and I had seen your post about the development between Shirayuki and Raj. I kinda am a bit confused about why these two shouldn't be seen as anything other than WEIRD because Raj was pretty much planning to rape her and use her in the beginning (literally nearly drugged her) and I don't get how anyone can move past that, even if Raj is trying to be better.

Whoa whoa what?? Anon where on EARTH did you get the rape and drug parts that is not what happened at all

Raji ordered Shirayuki to the palace to make her his concubine, yes, but I highly doubt that he would have done anything that despicable;; He basically wanted her because she was pretty to look at, she was the fairest maiden in the land, and he called dibs. He just wanted her to be on his arm as eye candy lol

Also the apples were poisoned, not drugged, not that I’m entirely sure if there’s a huge difference there jfndndn

Ofc I’m not trying to excuse his actions in season one because he did act like a total asshole and treated Shirayuki as nothing but an object and a trophy for him, but considering the massive character development he undergoes after that. I mean have you watched season 2 yet?? He legitimately goes through a huge character arc as he learns to become a better prince, respect other people, and actually pay attention to what’s going on in his kingdom. And most importantly, he learns the true value of friendship with Shirayuki, and he comes to respect and care for her a lot, and literally puts his life on the line to rescue her

Raji’s a straight up dick at the beginning of the series but he’s definitely grown a lot as a character and matured a lot too;; And he DOES have morals so I doubt he’d ever stoop so low as to rape somebody that’s just. Not him at all

#I’ll defend Raji until I die because I love him yes I know he’s trashy but he’s not THAT trashy #Rape tw #Akagami no Shirayukihime #Anon are you okay??? I’m seriously sitting here wondering if we’ve watched the same show #If anybody was hella creepy during that whole event it was Raji’s creepy ass guard dude who followed Shirayuki #And like. Literally frightened her several times #Snow White with the Red Hair #Raji Shenazard #Shirayuki #Shima answers questions

When Will I See You Again?

 Day 7 - Reunion

Series masterpost: The Beast with the Beautiful Face

The sky was gray, the sun barely visible on the horizon. A northern wind nipped at the cloaks of the gathered host, making the horses snort and stamp. Zen patted his steed’s neck to calm it.

Behind him, the knights of the Wistal Castle waited in full armor for their king-to-be.

Across the ranks, their faces were drawn and dispirited. Even Kiki, mounted at the head of the company, had a deeper distance in her face than Zen had ever seen. Beside her, Mitsuhide’s eyes were tired, but he managed a smile when he caught Zen’s eye.

Zen turned back as the palace doors swung open to reveal his lord brother. He met Izana’s solemn gaze before letting his eyes fall to Shirayuki.

She accompanied the first prince in her best dress. When their eyes met, Zen saw her relax and stand a little taller. She raised her chin, looking almost regal by the time Izana spoke, and Zen felt his heart swell with pride as he watched her.

Izana’s voice carried above the wind, cold and sharp. “Go in courage and honor to face these useless brigands that have invaded our shores. Exact justice for the knights of Sereg. In three weeks’ time, I will join you with the full force of our army. Clarines is no unguarded treasure ripe for plundering. Before winter comes, we will have vanquished and returned to peace and celebration.” Izana nodded at Shirayuki.

She squared her shoulders and descended the stairs. The whole host was watching her, but she only had eyes for Zen. As she drew closer, he could see a square of cloth peeking out from between her clasped hands. He couldn’t help but smile, feeling as though the sun had broken through the clouds.

Shirayuki stopped in front of him, her cheeks flushed. She hesitated, holding her hands tight to her chest. “Zen,” she whispered.

“Hey, Shirayuki.”

Her face softened and the last of the tension left her shoulders. “Prince Zen,” her voice rang out clear in the morning air, “please accept this favor from…from your…promised wife.” Her voice lingering on the last words, Shirayuki unfolded a scarlet scarf trimmed with white lace. It shone in the light, but her hair put it to shame.

Zen bowed. “I would be honored.” The scarf crinkled when she laid it in his hands and a sharp but sweet scent drifted between them. “Shirayuki?”

She was still blushing but her eyes were bright as she whispered back, “I sewed thyme and rosemary in the lining and filled it with crushed violets and wasurenagusa. I…don’t have enough skill to embroider so…”

Zen pressed her favor to his lips. He took her hand and ran his thumb over the gold ring on her finger, feeling the days-eye flower engraved there, wishing he could leave her with more than a ring and a promise. “I thank you, my lady,” he said loud enough for the host to hear. Slowly, he let her hand fall from his. “Goodbye, Shirayuki.”

“I’ll see you soon, Zen.” Shirayuki clasped her hands together again, blinking back tears. Zen wanted to brush them away, but it was time to go. Turning to mount his horse, Zen carefully tucked the scarf in his coat, right next to his heart.
