Saw your requests were open, could I request Fuyuhiko x reader fluff? Like they're in the part of the killing game where everyone's stuck in the fun house and y/n keeps having nightmares so she seeks him out? Sorry if this is too specific.
i don't know how long it's been since you've sent this ask and i feel incredibly guilty about it so i'm just going to answer it because i need some writing material anyway!
also, don't worry about being "too specific," it actually helps me a lot because i don't have to do as much planning
Tumblr media
fuyuhiko comforts you after a nightmare (female reader)
Tumblr media
as if the killing game couldn't get any scarier, you were stuck with one of the worse rooms of the fun house. the one with the rickety bed, moldy walls and ceiling, and general sketchy atmosphere
you were already prone to nightmares, but the unusually thin walls and all those weirdly shaped shadows made them even worse tonight
your dreams decided to haunt you with the death of your s/o this particular night
what woke you up was the sight of fuyu's body bashed and bloody in the elevator of the fun house
that silhouette of a coat rack in the corner sent you flying out of your bed and to the door
it was way after midnight but way before morning, so everyone else was asleep
thankfully, the lights were on in the hallways at all times
the nightmare had left you trembling and sweating, clutching onto the wall as you made your way to your lover's room
by the time you reached his door, you were nearly hyperventilating and about to fall to your knees
all your strength was used to slam your fist on his door before tears in your eyes consumed your vision
you didn't see anything that happened next, only heard it, because you had closed your eyes while the sobs pulsed through your chest
fuyuhiko had opened the door, groggy, rubbing his eyes
as soon as he saw you, though, he was alert and stiff
his first instinct was to yank you into the room and lock the door, in case someone was chasing you
"hey, pretty, tell me what happened. did someone do this to you?"
it took a while for you to calm your breathing enough to speak a coherent sentence, so for thirty seconds you clutched onto his t shirt and buried your face in his chest
"had... a nightmare... you were murdered."
his hands were cupping your face so fast, forcing you to look up at him
"hey, look at me. who's the ultimate yakuza here? right, it's me. these guys can't touch me, doll. i've got us."
"now wipe those tears away, and come get in bed with me, huh? you let me handle those bad dreams, i'll knock 'em in their fuckin' skulls."
the rest of the night was spent in fuyu's arms
he waited for you to fall asleep first, playing with your hair to soothe you
once you were sleeping soundly he would finally let himself go as well, never releasing his hold on you
♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧
dude omfg that was such a great request 😳
i tried to get a little more experimental with my writing and yall might not notice the difference but i'm pretty proud of myself

canon questionare meme: #5, 6, 7, 8
canon questionnaire // accepting . . .
Tumblr media
5. What’s the best thing about the fandom?
Uhhhh... hard one to answer 'cos I don't really engage in the fandom often lol. I think on my main blog, I follow only one (1) other Tekken blog. I guess I really like the fan content - especially the cosmetic mods for Tek8, and the fanart. Good stuff! Though, I guess I will say that the fandom peeps that follow me are also very awesome. I used to argue with a lotta ppl on the sub reddit, but the ppl here are understanding and epic. The Jin Support Club ✊
6. What’s the worst thing about the fandom?
A lot lol. I guess the worst thing is just ... the way a lotta fans criticize Jin. I swear, a lotta my arguments on Reddit was just concerning Jin's character because people either don't understand him (SO MANY were saying he "cared for nobody" prior Tek8's release) or they just bring up Tekken 6. What is so frustrating about the latter is that say, let's look at another fandom - as bad as ppl wanna say the Star Wars fandom is, they understand when a character's actions are uncharacteristic and when to reject this. Like almost the ENTIRE FANDOM can agree that Luke was written terribly out of character in The Last Jedi, and they can agree that the dude trying to redeem his father wouldn't try to kill his nephew because of "bad dreams". Hardly anybody argues about that or tries to insist on Luke being a Bad Jedi because of his actions in Last Jedi. In fact, most people still fondly look at Luke because they think of the first three movies he was in. YET, with the Tekken fandom... the fandom is just INCAPABLE of doing this and it's really weird. It's almost as if they see these characters as real lol. Like whereas the majority of Star Wars fans won't bring up Last Jedi when discussing Luke's character, the majority of the Tekken fandom WILL bring up Tekken 6 when discussing Jin's. Like you can't even fondly talk about Jin without sb saying "BUT THE WAR! ☝️🤓" Like even when you DO point out it's bad writing, they'll say "well he still did it! we can't ignore it! 😊" Maybe not entirely but... you can still acknowledge the writing goes against Jin's character, and it's something his character wouldn't have done if he remained in character with competent writers / no director meddling.
7. What’s the best thing about the canon you are writing?
Hmm... is this pertaining to Jin only, or the lore as a whole? Idk really how to answer this because I've already discussed how much I love Jin and why I love him. I'd say I found the devil gene concept extremely interesting, more interesting than the other "evil" curses fighting games do. Buuuut... the devil genes been totally whacked up by retcons, I'm not sure if I can say that either. The prob is, Tekken canon is so frickin LOOSE, it's hard to even pick a favorite thing about it haha. Like I say somethin and it's like "ooh... that's no longer canon..." Even when I talk about Jin's portrayal, it's like "ooh... yeah... but that was ruined momentarily..." Other than what I said when talking about why I started writing Jin, I dunno how to answer this one!! Maybe I'll go back to this when I come up with somethin'... I feel kinda awkward now. xD But LIKE, I love the Tekken story. But I already stated how I like the cast, why I love Jin, the game's fun. And... yeah!
8. What’s the worst thing about the canon you are writing?
The inconsistencies. Like I understand some retcons, especially if they're really needed. But like... Tekken does retcons EVERY game it seems, and then they're just... stuff that didn't need to be retconned in the first place. I've already went into great detail about how sloppy and confusing the devil gene lore is. But like here's another example - this is a minor and UNNECESSARY retcon. It was Lee who fixed up Alisa and gave her her freedom or whatever. But in her TK8 bio, it says it was Dr. B / her father...? What? Like I get that they maybe wanted Alisa to bond more with her father / creator. But like... couldn't they do that in another way? People say this is minor, but the problem is when the game is filled with many retcons - then when ppl are trying to learn about the lore, ppl are gonna get several different answers. "Lee fixed Alisa" "No it was Dr. B." See? That's just frustrating. Same with how the Tek Wiki still calls Devil Kazuya Devil Jin's "other half", even though I strongly feel that's been retconned long ago. The lore is confusing as hell with all these constant changes.

apothecary diaries anon again! sorry for replying late, the past few days were busy. 😭
I ENCOURAGE READING THE MANGA, THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT EXPRESSIONS!! it's also great with mood whiplash scenes; one moment i can be fawning over how pretty the art is, the next i'm staring in awed silence at the dark parts of the story. like, the scene where maomao is at lihua/rifa's palace is AMAZING. (i totally get what you mean with manga too! i don't buy manga as much any more because digital tends to have better quality and is easier for me to read. plus, there's something about having a novel in my hands that doesn't compare to holding manga, if that makes sense?)
no problem; i'm glad to share the good news about the LN! i usually buy just the paperback and read that in bed because 1. comfy cosy vibes, and 2. easier on my eyes. (i also don't think it's weird; i've bought multiple copies of games over the years because i enjoy having access to it on different consoles (and enjoy modding them, in case of games on pc.))
agreed! the love triangle / having two people compete over a third person dynamic in isekai is just… awkward. especially in some manga/manhwa where it's obvious who the main couple is? it makes all the interactions so forced and usually leaves me either annoyed with the plot or the characters themselves (and not in the way the author probably intended). ngl, i am a lover of morally ambiguous male characters, but it's so weird how people condemn female characters for being rude, but the dudes all get 'oh, but he has ✨reasons✨' or grasp at straws to justify it. even when the women also have reasons or backstories to explain why they do what they do?
i also get annoyed when i see the female lead get bashed in comments for not being 'strong enough' when usually the FL has either been abused, traumatised, or just?? cries because they've been through so much??? it's like the FL can only be praised if they're going through their struggles the 'right' way, and emotions aren't allowed. like, no! give me all the characters and their responses; give me the characters who repress their feelings AND the characters who wear their hearts on their sleeves!
let women support women! 👏👏👏
unrelated to the above, i started ascendance of a bookworm! i was at chapter 13 and crying from lutz and myne's friendship + wanting otto's love and citizenship in a side story. then i read further and started crying for an entirely different reason and OW MY SOUL. currently up to chapter 26, i'm both proud of my kids and just want to hug them. (also, i love how they deal with myne having a weak body; i have issues with my own body, and it's nice to see it taken seriously and also not instantly cured via plot magic.)
hope sleep and work has been better for you!
Aaaaa sorry if this got buried in my notifs! I only saw this now after logging in to tumblr desktop!! YOU GET ME FR- 🤝I think it also has to do with its formatting?? Collecting manhwa is okay for me for certain series, but reading manga backwards is just really awkward. I can't get used to its physical formatting. Using the panels as reference for practicing art had been my goal buying manga and manhwa but I really just don't enjoy the drawing process. ;;v;; I think it also has to do with that lol. I love art but I get giddier and enjoy reading pretty words better!! I love reading in bed too but my optometrist scolded me for doing that cause it made my eyes really bad xD. I do still read in bed but not as much anymore cause of that ssh don't tell her /s
Right?? It's just so sad misogyny is still blatant in fiction. It's already happening irl and you can't even use fiction as escapism cause it's there too. :'( I like it when series write good characters. Ultimately for me, that's what how you can tell a writing is good; if they can separate that. That's why I love Apothecary Diaries; you fall in love with Maomao as a person. She's a great character who just happens to be a girl. You love her for who she is, and not because she's a woman, or the narrative tells you a bajillion times she is a "badass female protagonist so you should love her!!!" (which she is ofc but that's not the entirety of Maomao's personality. She's more than that!! And I love her for more than just that.) JgdghgjI I just love female friendships so much. I wish we have more in shoujo and series in general. I want platonic female friendships; sapphic relationships, all of them. I love women. Funny you mentioned that cause I wish people would stop seeing femininity as a weakness cause it's not!! It's really ironic seeing people say a female character is "strong" because she's physically strong and have masculine traits, but have no substance or character development beyond that. To strengthen my point above, a female character is a great character because she was a great character to begin with and does not depend on harmful stereotypes just so they can be written lazily as "female" (I hope I'm making sense).
I'm so happy you liked it! Bookworm is so well-written and incredibly detailed in worldbuilding, lore and character development it's almost intimidating! I love its realistic portrayal of human relationships and disability; of found family and loneliness. Its focus on the world and the people around it makes the characters a lot more...believable(?) Like you can feel that they have lives outside of their interactions with Myne. Myne is just a heartbeat of a human life trying to survive in the unfair caste system she is born in. assidfsf. Fr I feel like I'm Myne's parent; seeing her grow, seeing her achieve her dreams and be happy and live like a normal girl makes me cry. I really recommend reading the LN of part 2 especially the last volume. I bawled like a baby in one of the scenes. Her family is just so wholesome. ;;v;; Sorry for rambling. I love this series so much and I've been trying to hold back reading my backlog cause I know I would finish it in just a few days.

Mod Blue’s Thoughts: March 13/14
The Sargasso Sea, Part 2
”Once this voyage was over, might not Captain Nemo consent to set us free in return for our promise never to reveal his existence? Our word of honor, which we sincerely would have kept.” My dude, you are literally in the middle of writing a tell-all memoir, but suuuure, let’s believe you would have kept your word… (More on this in a hot second.)
“He had thumbed through my work on the great ocean depths, and the margins were covered with his notes, which sometimes contradicted my theories and formulations. But the captain remained content with this method of refining my work, and he rarely discussed it with me.” What a passive-aggressive king.
I love how a good portion of the fish lists in this chapter is Aronnax going “sounds fake, but okay.”
I also love that Nemo is asking Aronnax to explain stuff to him, when I feel like it’s usually been the other way around in their relationship. Maybe he’s pretending not to know so that Aronnax will keep talking. (I’m now picturing him gazing into Aronnax’s eyes and twirling his hair and going “ummm I don’t think I understand, can you explain it again? *giggle*” And… now I am not sure what to do with that mental image.)
Oh my god I forgot about the photo-taking scene! How delightful!
okay, so here’s my thought from the beginning that I wanted to go back to. “I attach a print of the positive.” This makes it sound like Aronnax definitely has an audience in mind for his diary. Is he meant to be writing this diary while he’s on board the Nautilus? Is he meant to be writing this after the events of the story? I know there’s a chapter where he mentions that he has started writing the diary… but some chapters definitely sound like he’s writing in hindsight. And then there’s the details that The Mysterious Island brings… and now that I’m thinking about that, I’m having a lot of Feelings, but I’ll expound upon those elsewhere once I do my Mysterious Island re-read, I suppose.
Finally, as epic a closing scene as the Nautilus leaping out of the water is… that would NOT end well in real life…
Sperm Whales and Baleen Whales
I feel SO bad for Ned, being trapped on the Nautilus away from his friends and family on land and unable to partake in his favorite pastimes… even if his favorite pastimes are killing sea life, but hey, nobody’s perfect.
“Do these animals live a long time?” Conseil asked.
“A thousand years,” the Canadian replied without hesitation.
“And how, Ned,” I asked, “do you know that’s so?”
“Because people say so.”
“And why do people say so?”
“Because people know so.”
LMAO. Also, Ned’s theory about whales and how they used to swim faster is just… what in the Ishmael?!
“But Ned my friend,” Conseil said, “why not ask Captain Nemo for permission to hunt—”
Before Conseil could finish his sentence, Ned Land scooted down the hatch and ran to look for the captain.
A common refrain, but: someone needs to draw this.
Wow, Nemo really hates those sperm whales. What’d they do to him, kill his family or someth—
okay, but that ending is horrible. What the hell, Nemo. I forgot how much earlier in the narrative this side of his character starts to rear its head (we’ve already seen a bit of it, but this act in particular does not bode well and sets up for some major shit later on). And to think he killed them all in the name of protecting the baleen whales, but the very end reveals that at least one of the baleen whales was still killed by the sperm whales, so what was the point of all that? Let nature do its thing and don’t try to meddle with it in some show of superiority. Anyway, this isn’t usually the kind of thing that makes me emotional but I am genuinely upset over that baby baleen whale…
…and then Nemo and the crew go and collect milk from it without another thought, and Aronnax is somehow able to shove all the nasty business out of his head and enjoy the experience of trying the milk. Wow. I have… Thoughts about this.
The Ice Bank, Part 1
*reads chapter title* OH, YES! YESSSSSSSS this means my second-favorite chapter is coming up in a bit! So hyped…
Iceberg classification! Is there anything Conseil can’t classify?

Having written some things in the past that accidentally upset people, I can at least say it's possible to do a blunder like that, especially when you don't think it through ^^;
But yeah, with a line that blatant, it's not a great look.
I feel like some elements of V3 did work well, like the weird inconsistencies with the Gofer Project and the cast's talents and histories. Gonta's being the most obvious, where he said dinosaur people were still alive and just living out in the forest. That's silly even for DR standards, and it all turned out to be foreshadowing that the whole thing was a fabrication.
And then it got to the point where they added all the meta-commentary about the franchise itself, beating us over the head that it was all fiction and it seemed like they were saying that none of it ever mattered. Which I don't think was the intent, given that the post-credits scene was about how stories CAN shape the real world and how fiction is actually very important.
The presentation, however, definitely was...*bad.* You can tell they felt super clever about the whole thing, but it wasn't that deep, my dudes, and insulting your fanbase is never a great look ^^;
Overall, while I get why people don't like V3, if it didn't exist, I probably never would've started writing any ask blogs and met all you cool people. So I still have a soft spot for it
I’ll take more about the ending and the themes f V3 when I rank the series later on. But for now, I’ll just say this: they did too much.
There’s a line to how meta you can go, and they past that stop 7 blocks back.
With DR2, the meta-ness of the game could be explained because it was a virtual world, that makes sense. With V3, talking constantly about their audience, franchise, and the fictioness of their own world really goes over the edge.
But apparently, they must have had a point considering multiple people asking for a DanganRonpa 4, the Fangans many are making and….*motions to our story blogs*….

AC6 Blogging:
Behold, for I have vanquished the mighty ice worm! On the third try, too. The first one I restarted cos I was just like… overwhelmed: it’s very hard to track and that stun needle thing does NOT fire quickly. The second time I got blown up once it got to its final stage where it’s going all nuts. Third time was the charm.
Terminal armor is fucking great, by the way. I’ve won multiple fights now (Rusty in the arena; Raven in the campaign) with 00001 AP because of that mod. Still rocking the same build I was before, although 1) I painted it red because I was finding it too hard to take the story seriously with the whole Hello Kitty thing, and 2) post-ice worm, I just got some new bell bottom-lookin’ legs I’m interested to try out. I tried a couple different armaments (including a very snazzy-looking laser rifle), but haven’t found one I like better for the RF slot than the Gatling gun. Gonna try this machine gun though. Also just switched out my booster for the first time in a minute, but have felt no need to fuck with the generator or FCS—my outputs are fine.
Also, breezed through B-rank arena. That one dude was giving me grief the other night, but this afternoon I got through him and everyone else (if by the skin of my teeth, as previously noted) in one try.
Story reflections:
It feels like the pace of the story kicked up a notch in the last few missions. I met (and blew up) a previous Raven, which I suspect is an allusion to the earlier games in the series? But I don’t know. They seem more principled than just about anyone else, so that’s something.
Then there was the journey back into the cave, wherein 2 things stood out to me. 1) The phrase “deploy Ibis,” in response to some kind of “mutation.” Which seems to suggest the whole Fires of Ibis catastrophe wasn’t some kind of accident or natural occurrence—it was intentionally done to destroy something specific. And 2) Learning more about Dolmayan and what his whole deal is. He seems, from the recovered writing, kinda… a few marbles short of a full bag, let’s say, but then again I am also hearing a disembodied female voice, so who am I to say?
It was interesting watching the two corporations and the RaD all come together, and even flatter one another (I’m thinking of that one Red Guns guy trying to convince Rusty to come to the “other side,” that bit). Especially after listening to Ayre talk about Raven (the other one), that ambivalence kind of underlines the whole… unprincipled nature of everyone here. Hired guns following orders from self-interested manipulators, no real consideration of the actual consequences of their actions by anyone. All that. That seems very much at the heart of this game.
I’m still not sure what Ayre means when she describes the Coral as her family. She calls herself a wave in the ocean (or something like that) but like… that’s sort of vague. Whatever she/it is, it’s obviously related to 1) what Dolmayan encountered, 2) whatever was mutating that precipitated Ibis, and 3) whatever it is Walter is actually after here.
The PS5 screen tells me I’m 60% through the game. So we’ll see. And I’ve been told that doing an NG+ run is pretty essential cos there’s different content, so I might zoom through one of those once I’m done.
In other video game news, I’ve got Tears of the Kingdom on deck, I just downloaded Sea of Stars, and I’ve decided to get myself an Xbox and Starfield for my birthday because I’m a grown-ass person and I can afford it. I’ve never had any of the Xboxes, but as I understand it, 1) the Series X is hella backward compatible, and 2) Game Pass is a thing. Which opens up a lot of possibilities.

Revised Request from @sonicfangirl123:
It self-aware game sonic X reader where the reader is shocked to find out that sonic is sentient and they both star to fall in love with each other and one day the reader ask if they can go to his world but he say that if the reader does there is no going back they can no longer go home and will be stuck in his world forever and the reader doesn't care
Mod Shadow is writing.
edit: I don't really like how I wrote the confession part but it's literally 1:21 am so
"...llo..? Can anybody hear me?"
I return from my break from playing Sonic to see the blue hedgehog, standing on the screen. One hand was on top of his eyes, as if searching for something, the other on his hip. Everything else is paused.
"Sonic..?" I asked, seeing him stand in front of the pause menu.
"You're finally back! I've been waiting, y'know! This pause screen isn't as entertaining as you think!" He blurted, his arm returning to his side. The other arm remains on his hip as he shifts his weight from both feet to just one.
"What's going on?" I questioned, sitting back down and picking up the controller.
"Finally figured out that this was a video game! You seem like a cool (dude/dudette/etc), wanted to get to know ya!" I sat there, questioning whether this was real or not.
"Yeah, that'd be fine..." I replied after a while, still suspicious.
~-~- TIMESKIP: 4 MONTHS -~-~
"By the way, there was something I wanted to talk to you about." Sonic mentioned, his tone shifting to a more serious one.
"Alright." I encouraged him to speak his mind.
"So I know that people from your world -- well some of them anyway -- look for a romantic relationship and what I wanted to say was... I... wanted something similar with you. I've been feeling this way for a while now, but it usually y'know... passes quickly for me." Sonic started.
"And... I didn't want to tell you about it, make a big deal about it all, and have it turn out to be something that lasts like a couple weeks and then it's a huge mess to get out of. So... would you... like that with me?" He confessed, holding out a small bouquet of red roses. "I know, I know, cliche, but... I didn't know what to do."
"Yeah, that'd be great, but how would it work? I mean, we're from two different worlds and it'd be hard through a screen..." I trailed off, staring at the screen.
"Is there a way for me to come to your world?" I asked.
"Well, there is a way, but you won't be able to go back." He replied, holding out his hand.
"Who said I'm complaining?" I took his hand as he pulled me into the screen.

me and the lads blasted through the kaito files dlc. 
this will have final thoughts of the game which will contain spoilers, so more after the cut! 
1) the game starts out really slow for me. idk why it just felt weird seeing everyone but yagami, but hoshino was looking fly af with those sunglasses tho, and the game does pick up later though 
2) sadamoto kinda feels like another soma. i get what everyone says now. he is charismatic, but evil af at the same time. i wanted to punch the dude but smooch him at the same time. dude pulled a knife on his kid and played the natsumes into making their daughter marry him and he was secretly plotting on taking all their cash 
3) with sadamoto being like soma, i feel like kenmochi was his akutsu. kenmochi in general was a super great character though dealing with the trauma of killing the natsumes. he would use booze as a way to numb his mental pain, and he was a very broken man spiritually. i won’t go into it fully, but i could write a shit ton about kenmochi and he was a great character up to the end 
4) speaking of the end, that was the most metal way to have both main bad guys go out. have the one dying because the other one poisoned everyone at the party that was crimson lotus. then have that dying one snap the other dude’s neck after finding everything out about how he played the fuck outta him
5) jun!!!!! omg i love jun! he is a precious ball of sunshine, and i hope he gets everything good when he become an adult. 
6) having kaito as the main character was a nice difference. it feels like theyre testing having different judgment stuff minus yagami (maybe so we can finally get those pc ports) 
7) was a very nice side game. would love to see a full game where kaito is the main character in the future. will have to stick to my yk2 mod that changes kiryu to kaito
8) also love that higashi was the narrator and would love to see the rival detectives come back at some point in the judgment series 
9) also this game has a lot of barfing and spitting up blood, so be warned if that makes you uneasy

The Bit: Postmortem babble
OK so basically the reasons why Chapter 4 took so excrementally long are:
I fucked around (said "ooh let's give it a big overarching Main Plot")
I found out (Main Plot hard :( )
There is a massive outtakes doc with no less than four different ways the main plot could have gone, from rough babbling to mostly-written scenes, and absolutely nothing worked until I reached a certain point of Y7 and met a certain bartender and almost threw my controller.
[spoilers for both The Bit and canon follow, Y7 and the little we know about Gaiden in particular]
• Now, at this point, the Kijin dudes showing up at the club had already been pretty solidly cemented in. But as I mentioned in the notes on the fic, I was still on the fence about Nishitani still being alive to tell them what to do. Anyway, at that point in Y7, I just threw up my hands and said "FUCK IT, NISHITANI LIVES" because if Kashiwagi can get ventilated by an actual goddamn attack helicopter and live, that bastard can survive a few measly bullets from a piddly little handgun. And I wrote pretty much that whole phone conversation between him and Majima right then and there and it just clicked.
• Kuroshi was always going to turn on Murasaki. However, I could not for the life of me figure out the exact mechanism by which that happened, as well as who his allies were, until I un-unalived Nishitani. There's a version where Kuroshi and Ito were both conspiring to take the shiny purple asshole down. There's a version where they both wanted to take him out for very different reasons and Kiryu and Majima had to each pick an ass to kick to keep them from killing each other and their boss. There's a version where Kei-chan was in fact the mole and he had to talk Kuroshi down from murdering Murasaki right there in the club! They all sounded so perfect until I started writing them down and went "yeah actually this is ass" and ctrl-x-ctrl-v'd it into the outtakes doc just in case.
• Yes, the Watase in The Bit is that Watase, as a wee babby grunt. Just imagine how different things could have been if he'd been the one that got bodied in the VIP room! To this day Majima and Kiryu both still occasionally break out in a cold sweat over that thought.
• (the outtakes doc also contains a lengthy bit of smut that just didn't work once I started nailing the plot down but anyway)
• I think my single favorite Majima-ism in the entire fic is him calling Murasaki a skidmark.
• I changed the ending at the last possible minute. The original had some great lines in it that I'm going to have to find a way to recycle but y'all would have absolutely hunted me for sport over it, lol. These boys have been through it in this fic, they deserved a little fluff at the end. You know, as a treat.
• So uh. You know how since the Gaiden trailer dropped I've been making coy little noises about a character in The Bit being a strong candidate for Nishitani the Second? yeah. :) Nishitani retires in the early-mid '90s and hands over both the name and the Kijin Clan to Kuroshi, who in turn passes them on to #3 at some point. There is some lampshading in Tactics about this being a Dread Pirate Roberts situation. Kei-chan never actually joins the Kijin Clan, though he's a close enough "friend of the family" that he might as well have (he runs a "game shop" that is a front for a console modding chop shop and bootleg video game ring). Within a year he's spitting Kansai-ben like a native. Kuroshi, meanwhile, never manages to shed his snooty Tokyo accent and Nishitani gives him no end of shit about it.
• Kiryu's guess at Kuroshi's irezumi was close: the main element is a black snake killing a tsuchinoko. According to folklore, tsuchinoko are associated with liars and have a taste for alcohol. That was absolutely a conscious decision on Kuroshi's part, but it would have been an oblique enough reference that Murasaki wouldn't have twigged to it. Of course, there's a good chance that penny dropped at some point while he was soiling his shiny purple pants on the floor of the Valentine, but too late. :) He's got a lot of other shit too--he is inked all the way to his wrists and knees--but the murder snek is the important part.

I avoid talking about Project AHO whenever i can, my problem with it is the whole Slavery thing, the mod tries to make you sympathize with the slavers, like bro, just no.
(also pretty sure slavery was abolished by the 4th era in morrowind)
That’s my thoughts exactly!
Not only sympathize with slavers (which, sure, an asshole character could do) but sympathize with the people who enslaved YOU (which, I don’t think even the most evil or angelic DBs can get behind that logic.)
And there’s like. No choice! You either go along with them or you leave and stop playing the mod. I guess you could kill them all, but that’s playing against the mod and doesn’t offer anything interesting.
It’s a passable for a Skyrim mod, with honestly gorgeous scenery, for sure, but so freaking overhyped as a quest. It has flaws, which personally ruin immersion and just generally irritate me.
(Slavery was super abolished)

hello hello! my last haikyuu request was really good so thank you for that mod shuichi!
so if you don’t mind mod shuichi can i get some headcannons for oikawa, sugawara and tendou reacting to their s/o being flirted with by a member of the team they’re about to go up against?
thank you!
Hello there Anon. You see, I could write the request, but there's a much simpler way to show their reactions.
Tumblr media
Ok really in all seriousness thanks for requesting, here's your request. -Mod Shuichi
Tumblr media
Oikawa Tooru, Sugawara Koushi, Tendou Satori reacting to their S/O being flirted by a member of the opposite team before a game.
Oikawa Tooru🤍
🤍 He acted like someone had stabbed him in the heart. 🤍 Was deadass about to jump the player, but Iwaizumi gave him a death glare because "Shittykawa if you anger the opponent I will kill you, we don't need the other team angry at us right before a game." 🤍 So yeah, now it was either give the other team hell or ignore it. Tough choices huh. 🤍 In the end, he decided to listen to Iwa-chan's advice…mostly. 🤍 You see, he could just leave it alone…or he could bother the person flirting with you and intimidate them before the game. 🤍 Flawless plan, truly. And that's exactly what he did. He walked right up to were the both of you were standing and swung his arm over your shoulder, holding you close to him. 🤍 The player apparently had balls of steel cuz they just kept going even with him there. What did the grand king do? He started agreeing with whatever was said. 🤍 The player flirted, he agreed and complimented you as well. It was hilarious seeing the player get repeatedly more frustrated as the flirting went on. Eventually they just stormed away in defeat. 🤍 Oikawa was beaming with pride, oh what a great confidence boost right before a game. He hugged you tightly and gave you a kiss on the forehead before one of his teammates came looking for him. 🤍 Ok so, his plan backfired on him. yes, he did make the game extremely hard for the flirt's team, but he also got distracted during timeouts and stuff like that. 🤍 Was he not living up to his full potential, was the other player better than him, was he not doing enough for you, did volleyball take up too much of his time and you were angry at that, did– 🤍 Iwaizumi had to smack him upside the head to get him to focus. After some scolding from Iwa and some teasing from Mattsun and Makki, he was ready to get his head back in the game. 🤍 They ended up winning, much to Oikawa's surprise. He was sure he blew the game being so distracted. 🤍 He made up his mind and wanted to talk to you about his thoughts. You read him like a book and he just wanted some closure on the situation. 🤍 In the end, he didn't need to. The sweet kiss you planted on his lips as you congratulated him made all of his worries melt away <3
Sugawara Koushi🧡
🧡 He did not believe it at first, even did a double take. 🧡 Oh hell no, who tf does this bitch think they are. That's it, their fate is sealed, they're about to get expressed shipped to God. 🧡 Had to be held back by Daichi because he was ready to commit first degree murder. Nobody flirts with his honeybun and gets away with it. 🧡 The rest of the team is terrified and trying to talk Suga out of commiting bloody murder. It works thanks to Kiyoko who threatened to call you over to where the team was to witness the temper tantrum he was having. 🧡 He might want to kill the bitch but he won't let you see him do it, you might take away cuddle privileges. 🧡 So he settles for beating the other team, or at least annoying the living daylights out of the flirt. 🧡 He got the whole team on it too. It was very easy because the player also flirted with Kiyoko and Yachi, so everyone was in protection mode. 🧡 The other team was in utter shock at the Karasuno that played against them. The flirt felt their soul leave their body once the games ended because nobody can survive Karasuno's collective death stare. 🧡 You were also in shock at the utter thirst for blood that radiated off of the team. Did the flirt annoy them that much? 🧡 Step one completed, now onto step two. 🧡 As soon as the game was over and all of that post game jazz was done, he went straight to you. S/O cuddles here he comes! 🧡 He knows you didn't fall for the dumb flirt, logically he should know that. You see, he knows he's replaceable and that thought frightens him, you leaving him for someone better is a reality he doesn't want to accept. 🧡 So he makes a point to show you much he loves you as much as he can. In this situation, that aspect goes up exponentially. 🧡 He wouldn't leave you alone for the next 4 hours, followed you around like a lost puppy and basically attached at your hip. 🧡 Kiyoko did snitch on him though and you did take away cuddle privileges. He pouts at you until he gets them back <3
Tendou Satori💜
💜 Tendou did not expect to see one of the rival players acting all flirty with you while he was looking for some water, but here we are. And oh boy did he not like it. 💜 Not only were they flirting with you, but they had the audacity to try and take away his pride and joy. Not on his watch, not. on. his. watch. 💜 Ok so, he was having an internal debate on what to do. On one hand, he was angry at the player for even thinking about flirting with you; but on the other, he was scared that you might leave him for someone more "normal". 💜 Before he had the chance to act, the coaches called the players to the benches for some technical talk and final encouragements before the game started. 💜 Don't think he forgot, oh no. He was dead set on making the game living hell for that one specific player–and by association, the team. 💜 The rest of Shiratorizawa was confused as to why Tendou was focusing his most brutal blocks on the poor player but nobody questioned it. It was winning them the game so they could take advantage of this situation. 💜 Shiratorizawa ended up wiping the floor with the other team. Tendou felt accomplished, not only did he humiliate that guy in front of you, he also made his team win. 💜 After the game, he made a b-line straight to you. He needed to recharge after the game and he needed to make sure you still loved him. 💜 That thought was eating away at him the entire game. What if the flirting actually worked and you fell for the other player, what if he wasn't enough for you anymore, what if you began to think of him like everyone else did? 💜 He couldn't allow it. For once in his life someone love him and he is not gonna let some lowlife flirt take that away from him. He loves you even more than that creep and he'll prove it. 💜 That's how you found yourself trapped in a cuddle session with the famous Guess Monster. Not that you were complaining, the dude gave great hugs and you hadn't really had any time just the two of you recently. 💜 You knew that he saw the flirting earlier and you knew how much it affected him, since he was being extra affectionate today and his grip on you was tighter than usual. 💜 You felt guilty that you hadn't put an end to the flirting earlier or had a conversation with Tendou before the game, but that's in the past. Now, you decided to focus your efforts on reassuring your boyfriend that you loved him and that there was no room for anyone else in your heart. 💜 Man melts, he's just overwhelmed by love and he's angry at himself for even thinking about you not loving him, how dare he doubt you like that. You shut him down with a kiss on the forehead and some head scratches. 💜 He thanks every god he can think of right then and there because he had been blessed by his own guardian angel <3

Obligatory Friday Night Funkin’ fighting game AU post (part 2 of idk how many)
Even though I’m a lazy fuck I know there’s people out there who wanna read this so let’s just get it over with
-AGOTI: Trapped in the Void like in his own mod’s continuity, has tentacle-based powers that allow him to raise pillars from underneath the ground like he did in the Void. Usually freestyles and is pretty damn good at it. Chaotic neutral, hangs out with Tabi and Ayana when not busy.
-Aldryx: AGOTI’s older brother, they’re mostly the same but he is more composed and responsible...even if you can barely notice it. Has been scouting for AGOTI ever since he disappeared in the Void under the “orders” of Solazar. They have the same powers, but Aldryx prefers a more aggressive rock beat in comparison to his brother’s freestyling.
-Solazar: Solazar is a unique type of fighter, a Composer. They’re exceptionally well-versed in most types of music and have their own unique fighting style that can’t be easily imitated. Most of the times Composers are figures of great wisdom and/or power. DD is also secretly a Composer but rarely uses all of his powers. Sol is to this day one of the few other people who is actively fighting off DD’s rise to power and is trying to push his adopted screen demon sons to cooperate with GF and BF’s efforts to stop DD (despite the fact that one of them is friends with Tabi, who still has beef with GF).
-Nikusa: Not doing anything for her until her part of the FNF Entity mod drops but she exists in this universe.
-Tabi: Before Funkin Fightin’ was a thing, GF was in love with Tabi but nonetheless used him to try and conquer her father’s empire. When he turned music into a form of fighting, Tabi didn’t know how to hurt a fly, and so GF ditched him to DD, who turned him into what he is today. He is now out to personally get GF, DD and anyone who might get in his way for revenge. Uses a fight style similiar to BF’s but isn’t afraid to play dirty against someone who he feels has wronged him. After the restaurant incident he’s a tournament member who is wanted by the authority.
-Ayana: Before Pico, BF dated her, and while she still clearly loves him, it’s clear for her that he moved on. Still, she knows GF’s up to no good and is repeatedly trying to warn BF about it. She and Dalia have Tabi hidden in their house. Has a fighting style similiar to that of Mommy Mearest, although unlike her she actually fights fair and doesn’t try to seduce her opponents.
-Dalia: EDM has been less and less mainstream as time went on, but Dalia still isn’t afraid of spewing out good tracks. EDM artists are known for being glass cannons in the Funkin Fightin’ business, and she’s no exception, she’s the second strongest EDM artist on the block. Is in a relationship with Ayana. She is also prone to stopping her sets to help her friends back at Apollo against demons.
-Miku: In-universe she’s BF’s older sister, and due to her working specifically in the Vocaloid industry, GF’s parents can’t lay a single hand on her. More often than not she insists on protecting her brother as if he was still little. Has Camellia as musical backup during her Funkin Fightin’ fights due to her being mostly a martial pacifist.
-Sarvente: Nuns shouldn’t fight, am I right? Sarvente is one of the few people who is in DD’s tournament to promote her church. Still she knows in the moment she’s going to go full power she’s going to scare away literally everyone in the arenas. Has been costantly receiving funds by a mysterious sponsor alongside Ruv.
-Ruv: As a former hitman, he knows exactly how to fight. He just needs to learn to do it to the rhythm of the typical Russian ballads he listens to in his free time. Has refused to fight Sarvente even in her demon form. Is also in the tournament for the church, but also to avoid other hitmen sent to kill him for his retirement. Also has been receving funds by a sponsor.
-Selever: The mysterious sponsor. Has found a way to enter this universe (and is doing money with cryptocurrency), but if he interacts directly with Ruv or Sarv, or if he gets found and defeated by a being of higher power like Composers, Updike or Auditor, he’s sleeping with the fishes. Annoying as ever, half of the tournament opponents have beef with him due to him behaving like an annoying asshole. Also calls for Rasazy’s backup with some attacks and plays dirty like hell. His goal is to defeat DD so he can live with his parents in peace.
-Shaggy: In this continuity the entirety of Mystery Incorporated is alive and well and not dead of old age. Not even Shaggy knows how he has his powers, but he isn’t really complaining, as long as his friends are left in peace by the supernatural. Is fascinated by Funkin Fightin’ and is choosing a musical style on which to base his rhythm.
-Matt: Originally trained other people in various sports, but after his loss with BF he became obsessed with trying to defeat him in Funkin Fightin’. Trains under Shaggy to achieve this goal. Still, he has a code of honor and wants a fair fight by any opponent. Doesn’t have a specific musical style yet and is not willing to use Wii Sports music like one would expect from him.
-Zardy: Isn’t partecipating in the tournament and interacts with nobody. There is only one rule: don’t enter his maze for absolutely no reason. He’s going to wreck you with Halloween songs and by swinging around his farming tools. The only ones allowed in are Tricky, Monster and Starecrown for the Friday night poker game, where he is prone to winning at least against Tricky; Starecrown and Monster are just too 300 IQ for him to face head-on.
-Camellia: Remember when I said Dalia’s the second strongest EDM artist on the scene? Guess who’s first. His techniques as a Composer are known for breaking many body parts, so Masaya Oya only ever works as backup for BF’s sister Miku. But if you actually manage to bring him to a Funkin Fightin’ fight on his own you’ll regret it deeply. Dude is as strong as Shaggy and Matt COMBINED.
-Sky: BF’s number one fangirl and leader of his two-member fanclub, her beef is mainly with GF, but to beat her she has to go through BF first. Behaves a lot like Knives Chau from the Scott Pilgrim franchise. Writes fanfics. Has a very...weird fighting style, and does it to the beat of anime openings apparently.
-Starecrown: The, erm...OTHER member of BF’s fanclub. Is unironically best friends with Sky due to their shared interest in BF and usually carries her around as if he was her pet. Is very polite and tries not to come off as scary with his stares, but it’s beyond his power. Nobody ever even understands his fighting techniques, only the musical screeches he emits when he does it to the rhythm.
NEXT TIME: Hopefully everyone related to Bob, Undertale/Underverse characters, Eddsworld cast, CJ & Ruby, ENA, Nonsense, if possible even more

Name: F Boy (again)
Debut: Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins
It feels so strange to look back on my very first post for this blog! It’s so... dry! Where’s the passion? Back then I really had no idea what I was doing and was just kind of imitating Mod Chikako hoping nobody would notice... but thanks to all the love this blog has received, I think I can write with a lot more confidence now! Not to get all sappy on the first paragraph, but I really appreciate everyone who reads this blog with all of my heart. And that includes You!
But if I’d known I’d spend several years using the moniker “Mod F Boy”, I probably would’ve put more thought into the name I picked, huh? I’m not even sure I’m a boy anymore! I just thought the name was funny and that was that! But given how indecisive I can be, maybe it’s a good thing it was so spontaneous... Like it or not though, I am more attached to the concept of “F Boy” then I was three and a half years ago, so it’s only fair I give F Boy the post he deserves and write a whole lot more about him! 
Tumblr media
Believe it or not, F Boy is a fire enemy! A single flame with dot eyes, the classic design they’ve been using since Fire! I’ve expressed love for them in the past, but this little dude is a little different... it isn’t found in a lava or castle stage like you might expect, but the spoooky scaaary stages, AKA Pumpkin Zone! Why’s that?
Tumblr media
Enter the hitodama! Literally using the characters for “human soul”, these ghostly wisps of fire from Japanese folklore are probably something you’re familiar with even if you don’t know it! The Litwick Pokémon line, the flames on Jibanyan’s tail, the little flames around the boy from the toilet anime, or even the Embers from Paper Mario... that’s really just a couple of specific examples off the top of my head, but they are in basically anything associated with Japanese ghosts! 
Though... all this time I’ve always called them hitodama, but I should probably specify they aren’t the only kind of ghostly fireballs! Onibi (demon fire) are often described similarly, and I’m not totally sure what the difference is! I suppose they would be more demonic hence the name, and probably less of a good idea to get close to. Also, if they're made by fox demons, they’re kitsunebi (fox fire)! Isn’t that neat! But there are no foxes to be found here, so F Boy definitely isn’t that (Unless it stands for Fox Boy...?).
However, you might be more familiar with the concept of will-o’-the-wisps, a similiar kind of legend from Europe- in fact, a whole number of cultures around the world have stories of ghostly lights and flames! There’s two explanations for this, either that it is a misunderstanding caused by some chemical reaction (boring, lame) or that hitodama are real and really exist for real (fun, exciting)! I encourage everyone to go outside with a net and catch as many as they can. 
Tumblr media
Even though hitodama can be red or orange in some traditional accounts, they’re mostly described as blue and most modern media sticks with that! Which makes it quite weird that F Boy... isn’t! He is a rather fetching orange of course, and without the added context of spooky old Pumpkin Land you wouldn’t be mistaken for thinking he is a lava enemy that just got lost or something! 
Tumblr media
Now, moving on to a completely different topic, something else that is great about F Boy is his little cheeks. Have you seen them? Here is the picture one more time in case you forgot after all that. He doesn’t have one in the sprite, so isn’t it quite weird to give a fireball enemy such distinct little cheeks? I want to squeeze them, even if they are probably intangible. 
And finally, we come to the part we’ve all been waiting for- the name! You were thinking it, I was thinking it, it’s probably the only reason I chose to write about him in the first place! Because F Boy is a funny name for an enemy! I think it’s just quite silly to describe a fireball as a “boy” in the first place, as a term of endearment. It is just a boy! A little guy! He’s not hurting anyone! 
But then they add to that name- one letter. That one letter, F. It changes everything. All of a sudden, there’s a question floating in the air- what, pray tell, does the F in F Boy stand for? 
Tumblr media
If you’ve been following our blog for a while, you might remember we added an addendum to the original F Boy post, saying the mystery had finally been solved- the English version of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia lists his name as Fireball Boy, which is a pretty definitive answer right?
But since then, it’s been more or less exposed that this translation took a bunch of unsourced and conjectural names from the Mario Wiki, leading to something of a controversy and a Mario Wiki page that is essentially just roasting the whole thing! If even the Wiki doesn’t accept this book as an official source, I wonder if there’s any merit to the name Fireball Boy at all! Either way it’s odd how this is the ONLY name they changed... do they know something we don’t? I dunno! 
My next evidence to present to the court is something that isn’t really related to F Boy at all! Rather, in Super Paper Mario, the Lava Bubble enemy has a tattle that reads the following:
It's a Lava Bubble. This fiery magma boy loves the heat... Max HP is 1 and Attack is 4. Obviously, it's quite immune to fire... It pops out from below when people approach, so take care when jumping over lava...
Fiery magma boy! The chances of this bit of text being intended as a reference are very very slim, but what if, you see? What if? It’s still a fun coincidence, but what if though??
But of course, my favourite possibility is that it isn’t a word related to fire at all and is actually something completely different! I looked up a list of adjectives beginning with F and I’d like to highlight ones I want F Boy to have. Fabulous! Friendly! Faithful. Fantastic. Fascinating! French? Fresh! Fun, and Funky! Faultless. Fetching. Feminist! Festive. Formidable. All these and more describe the complex soul that is F Boy. 
After all is said and done, that is F Boy! Who would’ve thought that a little monochrome fireball enemy from a Game Boy game could have kicked off so many months of writing for this blog? I said in the first paragraph that I would not get too sappy, but now we are in the last one I can be as sappy as I dang well please! This blog has brought me such incredible joy and friendship that you can’t even imagine, and my only hope is that I can convey these feelings to even one person who reads these silly posts. If you are reading this? I hope you have a wonderful day! I hope you have a wonderful life! I hope you never forget to be passionate about the things that really don’t matter at all, because no one else can decide for you what is worth caring about! Mwah! A kiss goodbye. I’m not sure how to end this post.

Tumblr media
《I'm supposed to hate you | kapi》
Pairings: Kapi x reader
Setting: Mainly the arcade
Warnings: None
Genre: None
«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»
A/N: Yep I write for kapi! Ty and ty for the request! I hope you like this :D, also anon is off? (ALSO I tried putting effort in this so I'm srry if it's not a slow slow slow burn like you wanted but atleast it's kinda long ^^')
Masterlist | Write for list
Tumblr media
"I beat you again kapi!"
The gray cat sighed as he lost to you again. He looked up at you with a slightly angered expression. "Hey it's not my fault, I'm just good at the game" You told him. Kapi scoffed a bit. "Sure y/n, I'm gonna just head home" He said putting his hands in his hoodie pockets, and walking away.
"Of course see ya later, try practicing more aswell!" You yell the last bit to him. Kapi stopped and looked back at you. "You'll see.. one day y/n I'm gonna beat you!" Kapi yelled back with a grin and walked out the arcade. "What's the point in being less confident?" Kapi told himself as he walked.
Crowds of people walking with bags and the sound of people chatting to each other. "I just can't ever beat them" Kapi said in his head, continuing to walk.
"Maybe I'm just losing my rythm in things and I'm just focusing more on beating them" He thought about that for a second. Maybe he just needed to practice with someone to get his rythm back. But who?..
*Ding dong!!*
"Beep- *cough* kapi?" Boyfriend said seeing kapi once he opened his door. "Hi um- I know it's been awhile ever since our rapbattle but I was wondering if you could do a slighty huge favor for me" Kapi explained to boyfriend. "Oh um- Sure whatcha need?" Kapi scratched the back of his neck. "I've been beaten by a rival again that I've had for some time and I was thinking that I've lost my rythm.. I was wondering if you could help me get it back" He told boyfriend.
"Ooh, Of course come on in me and girlfriend will help ya out" Boyfriend would say walking in his house. Kapi would walk in aswell. "Wait a sec- did I interrupt yall? Dude I'm sorr-" Boyfriend cut him off. "It's alright man we weren't doing much anyway" He chuckles, reassuring kapi.
And just like boyfriend said him and girlfriend helped kapi out. Each day he got better and soon enough he was getting better at beating his rival. What surprised kapi the most is that they started getting along more.
"Woo! That was fun, good game kapi"
You tell kapi with a smile. Kapi smiled back a bit. "Yeah uh thank's, you still beat me though" he said. "I know but your getting better, seems like you've been practicing" Kapi nodded. "Well I guess I'll get going now" Kapi would say to you.
"Alright, before you go though. I was wondering if you'd like to hang out tomorrow at that one fast food place close to the arcade" Surprised and confused kapi nods. "Sure but you have to pay for the food" Kapi jokingly said with a smile. "Of course see ya later kapi" Kapi waved by and left leaving the arcade.
Were the two of you starting to form a friendship? Some more days and weeks past and soon enough they did. After or before going to the arcade they always got lunch at that fast food place. Talking about their favorite games besides ddr and stories about moments in their life.
"Hey kapi" you say. "Hm?" Kapi hummed eating his burger. Yall was currently at the fast food place enjoying y'alls food together after playing ddr in the arcade. "I know we always play ddr but what if we have an actual battle that people can come see to watch, I know you've been practicing alot" You explain to him.
Kapi would finish eating and started to speak. "Oh? That sounds fun.. ah what the heck, sure I dont see why not" Kapi said with a smile. "Alright then will do it tomorrow!" You say with a cheerful tone and expression clearly wanting to do this for fun.
Kapi was slightly anxious but only slightly since he's kinda done this with boyfriend and knew that he lost. He shook the thought of him losing and took this as something to do for fun. Yall finished up yalls lunch and left.
After kapi left he went to tell boyfriend and girlfriend about what you told him. Both of them were excited and wanted to go just to cheer kapi on which made kapi happy and feel alot better about doing this.
Time skip, the day and night had passed.
Kapi and you was in the arcade along with a WHOLE crowd of people. Including boyfriend and girlfriend in the front. After some talking the battle would begin. The song was catchy and kapi was real good at his rythm. After alot all of the practicing he went through and instead of hating his rival that was now his friend.. Kapi won! The crowd would cheer. Boyfriend and girlfriend were cheering him aswell.
Kapi still surprised and shook looked at you. You smile at him and put out your hand. He looked at it and shook it. "Good game, you finally beat me" You tell him happily. Not even angry or anything like that about losing. "Thanks y/n, I uh- have to tell you something if that's alright" You tilt your head, letting go of his hand.
Kapi raised his hand and boyfriend threw a mic to him, kapi catched it. He cleared his throat and started to speak. "Thank you everyone for coming if you could stop cheering that would be great. I have something to say to my best friend" He told the crowd. Soon enough the crowd lowered their cheering. Kapi looked at you and breathed in then out. "We've been rivals at first y/n, and were friends aswell now. I enjoyed hanging out with you but I'd like us to be something else" You were honestly really confused and you let him speak.
"I love you y/n.. Will you be my partner?" Kapi confessed to you. Not only that.. he did it infront of a crowd. You were surprised and didn't speak for a bit before saying "Yes!, I'd love to kapi" The crowd cheered and kapi wasn't expecting a yes.
The gray cat hugged you happily and you hugged him back. Boyfriend and girlfriend was honestly just really happy for the two of you. They cheered aswell and shared a kiss together. "I'm happy to have you girlfriend, y'know that right?" "I'm happy to have you to boyfriend"
After that day yall were a couple. It's funny how a rival can become something more.

girl help, I'm caught up in my own brainrot for a slowburn plasma fic au, where Jay is a fanfic writer and Kai just wants to understand what Starfarer is
- - -
Logging into his Readdit account, Jay looked through the usual memes and updates on the Starfarer's thread. Throwing his comments and memes around. Chuckling at the weird theories and crack idea’s near the bottom. He was about to sign off and check up on some friends when an alert popped on his screen. A message from his friend, one of the mods on the board.
“Lol. check this out ur always complaining about having no one to talk to” It read, a link to a post, posted several hours before. It must’ve been buried underneath everything else.
“Looking for someone to explain the goddamn lore of this stupid show” The title stated, it explained that the poster had a little brother into the show, but they couldn’t understand any of the lore. “Looking for someone patient with internet illiterate dorks.” Raising an eyebrow at the odd description, he looked at the comments below to see that the poster was the first comment, listing ways to contact them.
“Ignore the internet illiterate comment, my stupid sister put it in and i dont know how to change it.” Jay couldn’t help but chuckle, looking at the two ways of contacting this poster he decided to do Disharmony, it was the easiest way anyway.
“eyo!! i saw ur post on readdit
im always free if u got questions about the fandom or the lore :]”
- - -
Hours later, Jay was scrolling through Rumblr when he heard the oh so familiar, yet annoying, ding of Disharmony. Sharing the fanart he was looking at, he switched over to the app, looking to see if it was his friends screaming over his new rewrite ideas. But no, it was a message from a barely familiar name, $hougun1987, the guy with the Readdit post.
“hey”
“yello, how u being? :)” Jay responded quickly.
“uhhhhhhh, fine i guess.”
Jay hummed, he didn’t want to scare him off, but the guy didn’t seem comfortable. “So u want to know more about starfarer?”
He watched nothing happen for a second, then the small writing icon appeared. Jay had set his to be a bluebird, it slowly flapped its wings as he waited for the guy to reply.
“yeah my lil bro is super into it. Loves to talk about it, but i dont understand a thing he says about it”
Jay nodded in understanding; he wanted to share the show with many of his friends too. But after the third death in the second season and the weird time travel episode that messed with a lot of the timeline, he always ended up losing them in the confusion.
“its pretty awesome ur willing to try and understand it most find it pretty duanting”
“i dont care if it is you should see his face light up when he talks about it, all I want is to understand half of what hes saying he’ll light up so much more when he can talk about it to someone” They responded immediately, Jay was shocked about the passion in his words.
“if u dont mind me asking why r u asking for someone to explain it? theres plenty of vids about it”
“You cant ask videos questions”
“Comments?”
“They all speak gibberish too Imm stubborn and suck at learning I just need a person who can go slow and can answer questoins"
Jay blinked, this almost seems too perfect. Someone who wanted all the details, and was willing to listen to him ramble about every aspect of the show he had been hyper-fixating on for almost two years now? AND was going to ask questions. . .
He couldn’t pass this up, even his own friends in the community were tired of listening to him ramble about the show.
“we’ll, honestly, my dude, this sounds like a great project id be more than happy to help if u want me” Jay responded, not trying to sound too excited.
“sounds good how about we start tomorrow? ill message u”
“Yee! what ur name btw?”
“what!?! im not giving you my name!!”
Chuckling he quickly responded, “i dont want ur name, just wanna know what to call u we’re going to be chatting for a while it’d be awkward to call u dude the whole time”
There was a pause, and for a second Jay was worried that he scared him off, but then the app dinged as he responded.
“shogun, call me shogun”
Grinning from ear to ear, Jay replied. “hi shogun, im plasma :)”

Hi! Could I please add another request to my list? :D it's based off a Hey Arnold episode in which Bill and the reader are on a week long school vacation and they run into each other at the beach and Bill develops a crush on a pretty girl who befriends him but the reader finds out the girl's only using Bill to win a sandcastle contest in order to be on the show Baywatch. The reader tries to tell Bill but he won't listen and he eventually overhears the girl talking with her boyfriend and tells her off only to win the contest with the reader and they confess their feelings? 💕💕

Warnings: cursing, female pronouns (but no genitalia mentioned and no skin color specified) a bit of angst (fluffy ending though)
Author’s Note: first of all, I fucking love Hey, Arnold! and definitely love Helga G. Pataki with all my heart. She’s a weirdo and I love it. I knew exactly what episode you were talking about. I can't believe you got me to write 13 pages of fanfic for such a specific and niche fandom, but hey, I don’t do this for the fame. I do this for the little bit of serotonin my brain gets when I imagine myself in scenarios with fictional characters because real men are disappointing. (Mod Olivia)

You hated Bill. You hated the stupid way his stupid blonde ringlets caught the California sun, the stupid vacant look in his stupid sapphire eyes at almost all times, the stupid fucking sliver of tan skin he exposed with his crop tops that he somehow got away with at school. Not to mention you loathed the stupid fucking grin that he gave to his best friend Ted, the one that proceeded the ridiculous laugh the stupid boy had.
All these things you despised, detested, and loathed with every fiber of your being. Simple annoyances beginning since kindergarten snowballed into a big, white burning ball of hatred for the boy. Hatred that made your cheeks heat up and stomach churn, just as it was doing now.
You had been so excited for Spring Break, your family deciding to travel 5 and a half hours to a beach house in Half Moon Bay. A week of the sun, sea, shopping, seashells, boardwalks, and salt-water taffy, with no Bill to bother you.
 So, naturally, when you had reached the beach after a long day of travel, the sight of Bill sitting on the sand in nothing but a swimsuit, skin glowing with tanning oil, made your heart stutter. Okay, perhaps you didn’t hate him… despise him, detest him, or loathe him entirely. From an outside perspective… some might even say that you were… in love with him. 
Oh God, it was true. You couldn't stop thinking about Bill. He looked like he was sculpted after an angel. A prince charming on a white horse. And what he lacked in academic intelligence he more than made up for with kindness. He always treated you with the utmost respect, while you paid him back in nothing but sarcasm and insults. 
You didn’t know exactly why you were so mean to him. Perhaps it was your nerves trying to stop you from getting overeager and admitting your crush. One day you were going to have to either man up and confess your feelings or get over him but that day didn’t seem to be approaching anytime soon. 
You were intent on pretending he wasn’t here, setting up your own place to sunbathe until you heard your name fall from his lips.
“Y/n!?” Bill walked up behind you, prompting you to turn around to face him. “What are you doing here?”
“Bill.” You stated dryly, “My family and I are staying nearby.”
“No way! My family’s right over there!” He pointed at a nearby beach house, a young woman who you recognized as recently-graduated and newfound wife, Missy Preston making out with Bill’s father on the porch. Ugh.
“Yes way.” You responded dryly. “We’re over there.” You pointed over your shoulder. “Isn’t this a coincidence, my ideal vacation ruined by the one person I didn’t want to see.” You noticed a flicker of disappointment flash in his eyes, but you couldn't stop yourself even if you tried. “Don’t get any weird ideas about getting all chummy with me, trying to hang out or anything. Just because we’re staying at the same beach and all.” You scoffed, causing him to flinch.
“Uh, yeah. Fine with me, y/n.” He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before walking off. You eyed him, sighing softly. 
“What is the matter with me?” You mumble, setting yourself down on the sand. This would have been the perfect moment to get closer to him if only you didn’t have to open your stupid mouth.
[Bill’s POV]
As Bill walked off, he felt most confused. He could never remember what he did to make you dislike him so much, but tried to get back on your good side. Thankfully, with the sun, sand, and waves surrounding him, Bill couldn’t stay too upset for too long. 
He had decided to finally get in the water, heading towards the crashing shore when he had stepped on something.
Huh. Bill was met with the sight of a brightly colored bucket and shovel. Excellent! There was nothing more resplendent than a nice sand castle. Ted was going to be so jealous when he heard. All he was doing for the week was staying at home watching Deacon. 
Too caught up in his new activity, Bill barely noticed someone approaching him.
“That’s a stellar sandcastle you have there.” Bill’s eyes practically bugged out of his head. Growing up in California he had seen his fair share of tan beach babes, but this one took the cake. A total babe. Talking to me.... Say something, dude!
“Thanks.” Bogus. Thank God Ted wasn’t here to see him blow his shot so odiously.
She pushed her sunglasses down her nose to look over the lenses, her bright eyes meeting his. “My name’s Summer.”
“Bill S. Preston, Esquire.” He puffed up his chest, raking a hand through his hair. 
“Well, Bill S. Preston, Esquire, you seem to be a pretty great artist. That’s the best sandcastle I’ve ever seen.” His dark brows knitted in confusion, looking over her to see if she was teasing him. “I bet you’ll walk away with first prize from the sandcastle competition at the festival thing later this week.”
“Sandcastle competition?”
“Yeah! Whoever wins first place will get a guest appearance on Baywatch! But that’s not until the end of the week. How about, in the meantime, you can show me around the beach? It’s my first time visiting the bay.” Baywatch? That’s only the most triumphant show on television! Ted was going to be so jealous. 
“Sounds most excellent! However, It is also my first time visiting the bay. Perhaps… we could explore the area together?”
“I like the way you think, Bill.” She winked, sitting on the sand next to him, the pair getting comfortable.
“What the hell?” You mumbled, looking over your book to watch Bill cozying up with a stranger. Your heart twisted painfully, swallowing thickly, You had no right to be jealous, he wasn’t your boyfriend, not to mention you were cruel to him in every interaction, but that didn’t stop a bitter taste from forming on your tongue. 
You stood, collecting your things and trekking back to your beach house, the beach having lost its luster.
-
You were so over this vacation. You would have given anything to stay at home. It seemed everywhere you went, Bill and that girl seemed to be infecting the air with their infatuation. 
For the past two days you’ve had to suffer watching the pair on the beach splash each other with sea water, build sand castles, and sunbathe with each other; However, that was nothing compared to today.
You and your family had decided to spend the afternoon on the boardwalk. There you had to endure the couple on the carousel holding hands, feeding each other saltwater taffy, and watching the sunset by the wharf. Most fucking heinous. 
It was early evening, and thankfully, Bill and whatever her name was were nowhere to be seen. You didn’t know if you would vomit or cry every time Bill had given her that award-winning smile, the one you so badly wanted to be the recipient of. 
You didn’t think it could get any worse, until you had leaned against the pier, ears picking up a familiar voice, Bill’s. Your heart fluttered, only to sink back down when you realized he was still with her under the boardwalk, back on the beach. 
“Isn’t this amazing?”
“You are.” You scoffed at Bill’s attempt at flirting, ignoring the tightening of your throat.
“I’m so glad I met you.” She giggled. “I’ve never felt so comfortable with anyone.” 
If it had been any other couple, you might have enjoyed such a romantic conversation. This was all your fault, if you hadn’t been such a bitch to Bill on the first day, perhaps it would have been you and him hanging out at the boardwalk. 
“Can I see you tomorrow?”
“I’ll be here!” 
“Excellent!” You heard him scat in that ridiculous, high-pitched way he did with Ted when they mimicked a guitar. As he walked off, you smiled, not noticing you were crying until a tear slid down your cheek.
You were such an idiot. If only you were able to act normal for a fucking minute and effectively communicate with Bill about your feelings. You had fucked up, it was too late. 
“Hey!” You had heard her speak again, wondering if Bill had returned.
“Hey, babe.” That was definitely not Bill.
“It’s all going according to plan. I do believe Bill is falling head over heels for me.”
“Well who wouldn’t?” You rolled your eyes, angrily wiping the tears off your cheeks.
“He thinks I really like him. What a moron.” Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. What the hell was she talking about?
“If he’s as good as you think he is, we’ll for sure win the contest and end up on Baywatch.” It only took you a second to connect all the dots. This jabroni was clearly her boyfriend, and she was only flirting with Bill to win the stupid castle contest.
You had heard enough, running back to the beach in hopes of finding Bill. 
-
Fuck, all these beach houses looked the same. If Bill hadn’t pointed out which house he was staying at you would have no idea how you would find him.
You knocked on the door, praying you remembered the right house, and that Bill would answer instead of his hormonal parents. 
“Y/n?” Thankfully Bill did answer the door, hair wet from what you assumed to be a recent shower. “How’s it...hanging?” He stepped out onto the porch, shutting the door behind him.
“Hey. I’m sorry about being a dickweed earlier.” He seemed as equally surprised as you were by your apology. “Um, I guess I was just thrown off at your presence… that’s not really an excuse… anyways, the whole reason I’m here is about that girl you were with earlier.”
“Summer? What about her, dude?” Oh my gosh, of course her name was something as pretentious as Summer. 
“Well, I’m not exactly sure how to tell you this, but… She’s using you. I was on the boardwalk, and I had overheard you leaving, and I guess her boyfriend came up to her.. Long story short, she’s going to try and get you to build her a sandcastle to win that festival thing at the end of the week and take the credit so they can win the roles on Baywatch.” You met his eyes, swallowing thickly. “I’m sorry.” 
He stayed quiet, your eyebrows furrowing. 
“That’s heavy. I mean, I’m not stupid. You’re usually most cruel around me, and now you’re acting all...nice? I do not think I’m falling for this one.”
“You don’t believe me?” You couldn’t believe it. “I know I could be less of a bitch to you, but I’ve never lied to you in all the years I’ve known you. You just met her three days ago!”
“Y/n…” He spoke carefully. “I think you were correct when you said we shouldn’t try to hang out just because we’re staying at the same beach.” Your throat tightened, that sour taste returning to your tongue.
“Fine!” You hissed. “I don’t even know why I wasted my breath and time trying to warn you. God, I wish we had never come to this stupid fucking beach!” You ran off his porch into the sand, face burning with shame.
-
Bill couldn’t stop thinking about your interaction yesterday. He was barely paying attention to anything Summer was saying to him. He wished Ted was here. He always knew what to say.
He walked beside her on the boardwalk, eyes glued to the crashing waves, mind replaying the scene over and over again.
“Bill, are you listening?” Bill blinked, turning to face her, cheeks flushing.
“Sorry.”
“I said I’m going to get more sunblock, you’re looking a little pink.”
“Oh, thanks, babe.” He heard her walk off, zoning out again. You had looked so betrayed when he didn’t believe you, but, it couldn't be you were telling the truth. Why would you do something like that? All you seemed to do was glare at him, brush him off, and scoff at his jokes. It was clear he wasn’t your favorite person.
He snapped himself out of his thoughts once more, looking around to see if Summer had come back yet. His eyes caught her figure walking up the beach and he raised his hand to wave, stopping when he saw her wrap her arms around some unknown guy. He was too far away to hear what they were saying but knew what it meant when she had kissed him. Y/n was right. And I was so non-non-non excellent to her.
-
Sweat was dripping from Bill’s brow, his chest heaving as he panted. He could not remember where your house was, even if it was supposedly close to his own. It was the third time he had run up and down the coastline, trying to remember where you had pointed four days ago.
This was ridiculous, he was never going to find you… until Monday, when you both would be at school. But that was days from now!
“Y/n!” He fell to his knees in the sand, trying to catch his breath. 
“Bill?” 
“Y/n!” It was a miracle. He noticed the basket in your hands, having collected odd rocks, seashells and glass while walking along the shore. You had been trying to explore away from your house, hoping not to run into the very man who was looking for you.
“How’s it… hanging?” You asked awkwardly, scanning the area for the female that was usually seen by his side. “Where’s Summer?” He scrambled to stand in front of you.
“Y/n, you were most veracious last evening. Summer had been pursuing me with malicious intent. I caught sight of her embracing her boyfriend and I knew you were speaking the truth. I regret the way I treated you. I should have trusted you.”
“I mean… You had reason to doubt me. It’s not all your fault. Besides, it seemed as if she really liked you. I probably wouldn’t have believed me either.” You coughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of your head sheepishly. “Um, to be honest, I really only acted so bogus because I… like you.”
“No way…” He breathed, trying to recall any instance where it seemed you had a crush on him.
“Uh.. yeah. Yes way.” Your cheeks pinked. “But I obviously don’t expect you to return the feeling. I just get really nervous around you so I guess I figured I should treat you like dirt instead of trying to talk to you like a normal person. But I was worried you would think I was too weird, or that I talk too much, or-” You were cut off by a pair of lips. It was so foolish… and so Bill. 
“What about Summer?” You asked once he had pulled away.
“What about her?” It was just like Bill to not stay too upset for too long. 
His gaze was burning, his lips curling into that perfect, knee-melting, pearly smile. That smile you couldn’t stand. That smile that you couldn’t believe was finally directed at you.
