⦕Halloween headcanons as a couple<3⦖

Characters: Yuuki Makoto, Oogami Koga, Morisawa Chiaki, Itsuki Shu, Amagi Rinne, Kanzaki Souma, Sakasaki Natsume, Narukami Arashi, Mikejima Madara and Ran Nagisa

C/w: fluff, a bit of suggestive in Natsume’s part, Alcohol in Rinne’s part…general sweet headcanons for everyone <3

A/n: I had to at least do something halloween-themed since this month has been so stressful 😭😭 I’ll still do the two requests I got sometime during this year even if its not for flufftober but then again thank you all for the support!! I hope you guys continue to enjoy my fanfics !!! <3

Makoto Yuuki

Still loves trick or treating at his age and suggests wearing a couple’s costume this year

Even going to lengths of going to a party city and looking at his favorite video game characters costumes

It’s no wonder when the rest of Trickstar decided to join on what was supposed to be your date.

Makoto doesn’t mind but, his mood changes, thankfully at some point they decided to visit a friend’s home around the block, leaving you both alone.

He then invited you to his apartment, watching scary movies while sharing a blanket and snacks sounded like the ideal date

After some moments, you fell asleep on his shoulder as he kissed your forehead and slept with you

Koga Oogami

Since Undead was doing a small Live, a halloween special for the Ensemble Square, he invited you to join them, getting you a vip ticket to later on spend time together.

As the event reached it’s climax, they had a small reunion for the vip’s, as soon as you reached the room, Koga held your hand softly while smiling.

His eyes were on you during the rest of the night, your outfit made his heart beat, he couldn’t help but admire you even more

After a while of mingling with fans and his own bandmates, Koga craved some alone time with you, walking around the illuminated streets wasn’t uncommon for them

Koga placed your arm on his, making sure you felt safe around him

Throughout the night, before it struck 12am, it was always a tradition for him to kiss you in the course of it, in any special holiday, anniversary and even your birthday. Koga wants you to feel special and cared for in every aspect

Chiaki Morisawa

It’s certain that Ryūsetai most likely will make an act for their younger audiences in the same park as they’ve done all their previous shows

Chiaki is surprised when you arrived to help them get ready with makeup kits or helping out with their lines, he’s truly grateful to have someone like you in his life

While doing the mini show, his eyes were on you whenever he could, it gave him comfort. As soon as it ended, Chiaki couldn’t wait to hug you backstage, and he did, spinning you around while kissing you afterwards

He’s definitely exhausted after the entire thing but suggests going to a small party that Starmaker production held

His eyes contained so much tiredness that he began to sleep on your shoulder while standing up

That’s when you both decided to go home, shower and cuddle throughout the night

Shu Itsuki

He’s not into big halloween parties but, he’ll go if you attend and if you wear the matching outfits he prepared for months in advance

Every year he comes up with new themes and always wins the best costume award, it’s not shocking at all

Mademoiselle is usually in Shu’s arms during the night but will hand her at some point to you, admiring how gently you hold her, almost as if she was a fragile porcelain doll

Despite not celebrating halloween a lot, he’ll definitely give the best candy around his neighborhood, the kids are always excited to see Shu’s beautifully decorated house.

He’s intolerant towards kids, however he enjoys seeing the faces of happy, calm children complementing and saying how pretty his costume and home is

Mika regularly visits him in France, specifically when this holiday is around; hanging out with you two (mademoiselle included), gathering candy and having a wonderful time all together

Rinne Amagi

Undoubtedly he throws a halloween party in his dorm, booze included

Kanata and Hiyori invite some of their friends as well as Rinne, who had obviously invited their lovely partner to enjoy some quality time..perhaps even playing beer pong/truth or dare

He buys the costumes no one wants nor likes but always makes them look good somehow

There’s not a single moment where he parted his hands away from your body, holding your hand, waist or even carrying you at some point as a dare, while kissing you that is

Rinne is such a bold person, no matter if it’s a specific holiday or not, he’ll always be like that with you

Even after he’s drunk and everyone went home, he mumbles ‘I love you, Y/n’ so drunkly yet sweet, it’s almost sickening. The only thing he really wanted was to express how much he truly loves you, it’s no doubt what he says is the truth

Souma Kanzaki

Souma loves doing live shows and performing for an audience, no matter if it’s the day where you both had plans on going out, Souma wished the live could’ve been done some other day

He was so upset yet as soon as he saw your face in the crowd, a smile appeared, now happy yet nervous, Souma did his best for you

His eyes were watery, it looked like he had been crying before you entered backstage, sighing in relief as you hugged him, comfort filled his heart, Souma was truly content now

After talking and leaving, Kuro suggested going to Rhythm Link’s halloween party, even if Souma was tired, he agreed after hearing the whereabouts of the party, which was held in the aquarium

When you reached the aquarium, instead of joining everyone at the party you both went towards the turtle exhibition, he seemed so relaxed that Souma didn’t even notice falling asleep on your shoulder

Souma barely remembers how he got home, he smiled as he sees you preparing breakfast for him the next day with his favorite sea themed apron

Natsume Sakasaki

He goes all out on this specific holiday, like dressing as witches together with Tsumugi, Sora and you

Natsume’s goal for halloween is to actually teach you magic; even if it starts by making potions, he’s sure on making it a memorable experience

Tsumugi insists him on taking Sora trick or treating this year since every previous one they would usually give out candy, Natsume sighs, reluctantly agreeing to it and dragging you with him

His eyes are all over you, his hand on your waist as he compliments and flirts with you

Eventually, you both sneak out to kiss and spend time together while Tsumugi continues to trick or treat with Sora

Back at his apartment, Natsume had prepared a small bath for you both to enjoy after the long day; soon sleeping in each other’s arms

Arashi Narukami

Expect a full on halloween glam from this girl, she’s so excited to do your own makeup and wear stylish costumes

Since New Dimension had a small gathering with their idols, Arashi decorated the place so elegantly with some people as support, her face brightened up as she saw you

She won’t shut up about you throughout the party, anytime someone asks about you both, it’s always compliments and praises from Arashi

Arashi later on ends up making non-alcoholic margaritas or handing out drinks to people at the beverage station, casually talking about her day while preparing you a drink

At some point, she takes you to dance under the stars outside, it was such a romantic moment for you both, even kissing you softly, smiling as she held you close

Izumi sighed, looking at you with a faint smile, he was happy Arashi had found someone who complemented her life

Madara Mikejima

Unfortunately, he had to go undercover for a mission that night, after double face disbanded, he ponders if taking you with him would be a good idea, but that quickly disappears when he sees your lock-screen of him in your phone

When he gets home, all bruised up and neutral after a good mission, Madara finds you awake in bed, sighing softly as he apologized for leaving without telling you at such an early hour

Halloween isn’t his favorite holiday, so he likes celebrating it his own way: baking some sweets , watching movies and more

Madara, despite his nature of being friendly and welcoming, wants to only spend time with you, especially after what he had to do during the early hours of the day, he feels safe in your arms and home

He proposed cooking together instead of ordering takeout, wrapping his arms around your waist while you help him out, kissing your shoulder slightly while smiling

Since he’s really tired from the mission, Madara cuddles with you and falls asleep while a movie played in the background, you kissed his forehead before joining him

Nagisa Ran

He’s still getting used to how halloween works, dressing up as your favorite character/movie, getting candy from random neighborhood houses and more

All he could think of was that halloween special in his favorite crystal shop, it’s no surprise when you spend most of your day there with him

Upon entering the shop, Nagisa held your hand the entire time, looking at the many precious gems around the establishment

Even if you both didn’t wear costumes, Nagisa bought matching jade bracelets, walking out the door with a smile, hand in hand once again

Eden had a small gathering during the night and Nagisa dressed up as a mermaid with the rest of his unit. When he spotted you, he couldn’t help but smile, going to hug you after the crowd of fans left

Since Hiyori wanted to go to a Karaoke booth, Nagisa sang his favorite songs while glancing at you first comfort, holding your waist as you joined him for some duo songs

Negai no Astro Chapter 3: Some Thoughts

Another banger by Wakui. I'm enjoying this story and its characters a lot so far! Wakui always knows how to move me with his complex family plotlines and drama🥹Excited to see what's to come, and also afraid for the siblings and the angst that I'm certain Wakui is cooking, I mean we already saw a glimpse of it. It was resolved quickly though, yay (for now)

The family all look so tiny and cute aw🥰I really want to see more of their past before the rebellion started, them growing up together, bonding, just soft moments..I feel like Wakui will bring these forward during fights or deaths..we saw him do that a lot in Tokyo Revengers, to pour salt on the wound 😭 Anyway, we have the number of most of the siblings so far except the 4th, 6th and 7th adopted, and as far as we know they are 12, I believe one was shown this chapter but not given a number yet, and it is 12 adopted siblings and Hibaru if I am not wrong, I have a feeling the cute girl from the promo pictures is not related to them, but to the astro power. I would like to meet some characters outside the family, I love the concept a lot as someone who has enjoyed such stories, but I wanna see some friendships etc. like in TR, Wakui knows how to write such bonds so well🥹

+ Still no news of her..no name, no info, Wakui please..🙏🏻😔

He's like the little "I choose violence" “peace was never an option” duck meme😭 but damn, seeing a different side to Terasu this chapter sure was interesting..he can be pretty cold-hearted, unlike his angel of a brother..but they complement each other, as one of the TR quotes that I love dearly: "he compensates for what he's lacking."

While I stand with Hibaru on this, I need to know more about Terasu and his relationship with the siblings aside Hibaru because he does not seem to have any bit of a soft spot for them, and I wonder why. I mean, he went to the extreme immediately, but we also saw that Shio wants them dead, and who knows what else he witnessed the siblings do when Hibaru was in his coma. He definitely just wants to protect himself and Hibaru from Shio and the rest who wish them harm or want them eliminated out of the picture, but I did not like the "we're not blood related we might as well be strangers"..I understand his frustration, but adopted family is a family, and found family is a family..reminds me of the conversation between Shinichiro and Izana, when Izana insisted that blood means everything, and Shinichiro said blood does not matter, they are still family, be it adopted, or the family you choose..but also if your family wants you dead, it is a complicated situation in a dog eat dog world, as Terasu said, it's kill or be killed. I wonder what Hibaru will do when forced to face such a situation, cause surely the power of love and friendship wont stop Shio and the rest

Hibaru and Terasu's fight was fun to read;not fun emotionally was gonna cry if they did not resolve it but like, seeing Wakui's fight scenes again, I love it + I knew Terasu's astro power is a shield, I mean it was quite obvious since he survived a whole building crashing on him, but nice to see it confirmed lol. + so they are shield and strength, interesting dynamic.

Angel mc with a heart of gold🩷every chapter I love him more and more, I'll give him the world and keep him in my pocket🥹 I am afraid of him though, "never be so kind you forget to be clever", I hope he knows the limits of love to give those who wish him harm. but it warms my heart, how he says he loves Shio and everyone..my sweet boy, please don't hurt him Wakui..i hope some of the siblings will be on his side. I also love how his purity and kind soul reflected on Terasu and were able to turn things around and end the fight. I'm starting to doubt that Terasu would betray him (mentioning this cause I wrote before some hints that he could be a Judas kind of character later) I love angst, but I hope to not see them fight again. Also the way he sobs and calls him "jerkface" because he was so hurt that the family was called strangers..adorable precious sweet boy🫶🏻

Angry kitty😠

Hibaru is so cute and Terasu is like "free me I don't wanna be here"😭

grandpa is so funny the way he's here for the tea and encouraging the fight , I hope to keep seeing more of him

I finally know pretty boy's name! Shikaba! and the other brother is Taira, interesting to see they are presented together in both their appearances. they don't seem too mean like the other brothers. Taira so far seems like a Hanma type of character who comments about everything and enjoys the vibes lol. As for Shikaba, interesting to see his eyes are still closed 🤔

aaand him, Kuran, he sure is intriguing, as Hibaru referred to him as "a real man among men", and it shows he truly admires him and his strength. he's been quiet so far in all his appearances, but does not seem too friendly, we shall see

that's all, I adore Hibaru and Terasu sm🫶🏻

a/n: hiiiii kyoko x fem reader smut !! im cooking rn im literally so feral for kyoko cus like imagine her girl cock sliding in and out of me like its her last day 🙁

my carrd if u wnna know more abt me > dun9eons.carrd

summary: It was love at first sight with your substitute teacher, you may have gone too far.. 👀

CW (18+): smut, dub-con, semi-public, futa / girlcock, wlw

words: 2.2k

her favorite student

It was just a normal school day, same old same old. I headed to roll call every morning expecting the same words to come out of my teachers mouth about some announcements or school events I know I won't ever go to, I guess I'm just really lazy.

Today was different though, I had a new substitute for history class, I couldn't really care less though, assuming it was just some old clueless teacher who doesn't know what they're doing.

That wasn't the case.

My ears perked up to the sound of my teacher's voice saying it was a new, young teacher.

I was a bit disappointed, hoping I would just have history class as a free period, but since it's a young teacher, I guess they know a thing or two about respect.

The bell rings, signaling the end of roll call, with many people moving to their respective classes.

It was a coincidence I had history first, so I could see the new young teacher.

I waited against the wall with my friend, waiting for everyone to come so the teacher could lead us inside.

I then suddenly heard the tapping of heels in the walkway, it was so loud, but no one seemed to point it out.

I peaked my head out, stunned at the sight.

It was a tall beautiful lady with luscious lavender hair along with a braid on the side supported by a black ribbon with purple eyes complementing her fair pale skin.

She was wearing boots with heels, a black sleek skirt with a white work shirt and a black tie.

God she was so pretty.

After a minute or two, she then signaled my class inside.

We then took our respective assigned seats and sat waiting for her instruction.

"Hello class, as you know, I am your sub for today as your usual history teacher isn't here. Please call me Ms. Kirigiri, and don't hesitate to put your hand up if you need any help."

Her voice is so mesmerizing, I could hear her repeat that sentence everyday, it's unfortunate that we only have her for today.

I swiped those thoughts away, unpacking my back to bring out my book and pen, although a good looking teacher, still boring, same work. Which was.

I was pretty good at history, but a certain question stumbled on me. I didn't want to embarrass myself, but I had to get this work done, I can't handle work not being finished, I needed everything to be finished.

I raised my hand up, Ms Kirigiri then walked slowly up to me.

I eyed her waist and her his, the way it swayed to either side was distracting me too much, I didn't even notice the blush on my face until she spoke up.

"What do you need help with dear?"

She said that with a raspy voice as she slithered her arm onto my shoulder which instantly sent shivers down my spine, which isn't helping as my blush just grew redder.

"I-I uh.. Just need help with this question.."

I pointed at the question I was struggling on, not really expecting the teacher to know, but to my surprise, she was pretty helpful.

She was kind of rubbing the side of my arm, and my shoulders, I don't know If that made me excited or nervous, there wasn't an in between.

She was explaining the process of how to get to the answer, but for the first time, I couldn't really care less. My elbows were on the table, my head resting on my hand as I just kind of stared at her, thinking some really.. Weird thoughts.

She's so mesmerizing, I wanted her to do things to me that I could never say in front of people, even my closest friends.

I forced myself to snap back to reality as I continued onto my work, breezing through and pretty surprised with myself since the working out she explained really helped.

I was way into my work, not noticing the time till Ms Kirigiri spoke up.

"Class, please pack up as there are 5 minutes left till the bell rings for break."

I sighed, thank god it was an early day. I continued packing my back as I stood up and waited behind my chair, having a little small talk with my friends around me.

The bell rang, me and my other classmates went towards the door.

"Ah, sorry. I apologize but may y/n stay back for a while?"

I froze in place, slowly walking back towards the class, my friends waving me by as they say they'll wait for me at their spot.

My breath was shaky, Ms Kirigiri closed and locked the door.She then sat down on her chair, looking at me with her purple eyes. I could never tell what she was thinking about. It sent shivers down my spine.

I was asking myself questions I couldn't answer myself, I was praying to god I didn't do anything wrong to cause the reason for me staying back.

"So uhm.. Ms Kirigiri, Why am I staying back?"

She crossed a leg over another. I could see the grin forming on her face, which made me even more nervous.

"We'll need to talk about your behavior y/n, but first.."

She trailed off, she then uncrossed her legs and used her hand to pat her lap.

"C'mere."

I could see a spark in her eye, it was filled with lust.

I hesitated but I started to walk slowly towards her, carefully sitting myself down onto her lap.

I don't know If I was nervous or excited, I just wanted to get out of here as soon as I can. So I just complied to whatever she's telling me.

"So.. U-Uhm.. What about my behavior? Did I do anything wrong..?"

I said shyly, trying hard to keep some composure.

"My my.. Y/N perhaps you forgot? I've seen the way you were looking at me during class."

My breath hitched, shit.. I never really thought she would have found out or even pointed it out. I really have to think of an excuse to get out of this since I don't want to get in trouble.

"I- er.. I was just making normal eye contact. It's respectful to make eye contact with whoever is speaking."

I sighed, hoping Ms Kirigiri would just let me off now. I didn't want this situation to escalate, but at the same time I didn't really want to leave. I'm sitting on this beautiful lady's lap, who would want to leave?

"Don't act clueless Y/N..~"

I felt her breath against my ear, her hands slowly sliding up my hip towards my waist.

"Ms Kirigiri.. W-What are you doing..? This is so.."

I trailed off, not continuing my sentences at the thought of my wrong wording can make the situation I'm in worse than it already is.

"You owe me an apology y/n."

She whispered against my ear, instantly turning red, her breath was so warm.

"I-I'm sorry Ms Kirigiri.."

She scoffed, her hands tightening around my waist, making me unable to escape her grasp.

"You call that an apology? I'll show you how to apologize properly."

I started squirming whilst on top of her lap, her hands still wrapped tightly around my waist I could barely move.

She then raised me up, putting me back down onto her lap, now looking towards her.

"Since you like eye contact so much, just keep your eyes on me."

I nodded, I have no words to say. I bit my lip in anticipation, awaiting her next move.

She then slid her skirt and her underwear down a little, just enough to let her hardened cock spring free from it's confines.

My eyes widened at the sight of it, it was pretty big, about 7 inches and girthy.

I swallowed hard, this was way too much for me to handle, but something about it just left me wanting more.

I was then snapped out of my thoughts as I felt Ms Kirigiri slide my skirt and underwear off, tossing them to the side somewhere.

It was embarrassing, I was really wet at this point. I felt her staring, it was uncomfortable, but I was getting hot and bothered at this point, the lust and desire was taking over quicker then intended.

"Wet already huh?"

She teased, she wasn't wrong. I could definitely feel myself getting wetter by the passing time, but I didn't want to look down.

Fucking hell, her cock was just calling out my name, it was just standing up right with no contact.

I decided whether to just pleasure myself with the time we have, so I took the chance.

I lifted myself as I positioned myself, my pussy just hovering over her cock. I held onto her shoulder for support, I never knew I wanted this. I never knew I was like this, but fuck, I needed her so badly.

I then lowered myself onto her cock, silently cursing at the sudden pain of something pretty big entering inside.

"Fuck.. Y/N you're so tight."

She said, her voice hoarse and filled with lust.

It was fine, since the pain was slowly turning into pleasure as Ms Kirigiri guided me throughout the way, she was guiding my waist as I was slowly bouncing on her.

I wrapped my arms around her neck as I continued riding her. I was pathetically whimpering and moaning her name out, I couldn't even care less if anyone heard me. I cared more about the pleasure I was receiving more than anything.

"I.. I'm so close ngh- M-Ms Kirigiri..!"

She picked up her speed, basically forcing me to slam myself down onto her. The noises of skin slapping together and moans filled the room, It was getting blurry. I can't even think or say anything without mumbling something incoherent.

"Fuck.. Y/N, I'm close as well.."

A moment later, I came, Ms Kirigiri hadn't come yet, but she was still lifting me and slamming me down onto her cock, but this time more slowly.

She suddenly then pulled out, cumming all over my and her stomach. It was a messy white mess.

I panted heavily for air, I don't know why, but I wanted more.

The last remaining bits of cum stringed from her tip, her cock twitching every time.

"Haah.. You did good y/n, you're free to go if you'd like, you have about 3 minutes of lu-"

I then suddenly pulled Ms Kirigiri's tie, forcing her to be closer to me as our lips crashed together.

It was passionate, gradually getting more needy with each passing second, but then I pulled away.

"Uhm, would it be okay for us to.. Do something like this again..?"

I asked sheepishly, as she looked at me again, those eyes filled with lust.

"Well, perhaps. There's another class coming in here. So how about you hide under my desk for me then?"

I nodded as I hurriedly climbed under Ms Kirigiri's desk, it was a bit cramped, but I doubt whoever passes by can even see me.

A while later, the bell rang, I was still cramped up under my teacher's desk, I heard footsteps and the sounds of talking whilst students entered the room.

Ms Kirigiri talked, introducing herself and sitting back down after the class was busy with their work.

She leaned back on her chair so her eyes could be fixed on me, I gave her the thumbs up signaling I was ready.

She grinned, immediately getting my signal as she slowly and carefully pulled her skirt down, it was a bit amusing that she was already hard again.

She wrapped her hand around the base of her cock, guiding it towards my mouth.

Her tip was pushed against my lips, I reluctantly opened my mouth as I slowly started taking the tip of her cock.

I could barely hear her, but she definitely moaned softly. I knew she was trying hard to suppress her lewd noises in front of her class, which made me smile.

I was about halfway through her cock, bobbing my head up and down at a safe pace.

I gagged as I felt her hand push down the back of my head, forcing me to take her whole, I gagged and let a few tears trickle down the side of my face.

"Fuck.."

She groaned quietly.

I could tell she was close on how much she was tensing up, so I pulled my head away from her and instead used my hand to stroke her.

I grinned as I whispered, "Cum for me Ms Kirigiri.."

It wasn't long until she finally came all over my mouth and chest. It was going to be hard to clean off, but other than that, the pleasure was enough for me to be satisfied.

I looked up at her with a soft smile.

She then grabbed a pen from a drawer and started writing on a piece of paper.

A moment later, she handed me a folded piece of paper.

I opened it as it read, "You're my favorite student."

She was now my favorite teacher.

Royal Trio for that character asks?

ahh ty! this is literally perfect timing because I just finished the third semester on my third playthrough of p5r and really wanted to talk about these three <this is a lie. I stopped writing out the answer to this ask over a month ago but this ask IS still relevant bc I am now writing a royal trio-centric fic. so I'd still like to talk about them.

describe their canon relationship/dynamic

Sumi and Akira have a very strong dynamic, as Sumi is basically Akira's canonical love interest and one of his closest friends. And I needn't explain how Akira and Akechi have an extremely strong dynamic as well.

But the three of them don't really have that strong of a trio dynamic because the triangle breaks when we get to Akechi and Sumi's relationship with each other, which is a shame. Either Akechi or Sumi feel a bit left out because Sumi's in the dark about so much of Akechi's Deal and Akechi is so outwardly cold to Sumi. So they don't have much of a dynamic with each other.

your ideal/headcanon version of it? how does it differ from how it is in canon & why is this your favorite version? any other alternate versions of it you enjoy?

My ideal version of the royal trio has two main differences between it and the canon version. First, Akechi and Sumi never get the chance to bond in canon. I don't think that it's a flaw, necessarily, because there was no way to have them bond without breaking Akechi's character arc in the third sem. But it is a huge missed opportunity.

I really do think Akechi does secretly care for Sumi, but he doesn't want to show it because he's being Stupid in third sem about wanting to push everyone away. I think in any other timeline they could have been friends, and I think that he realizes their similarities and relates to her because of them. In the same way, if Sumi knew more about Akechi I think she would relate to him and want to be his friend too.

The second thing I'd change is make Sumi and Akira's relationship platonic. This isn't really a "change" since you can reject her, and Sumi having a crush on its own is perfectly fine. But they push them as a romantic pairing really really hard, much harder than anyone else, to the point where its pretty obvious she's supposed to be your canonical girlfriend. And I just don't like that, since them getting together kinda breaks Sumi's character arc of self discovery.

what do you like about their relationship, why is it interesting or enjoyable to you?

I love how Sumi and Akechi both complement Akira in opposite directions. But more than that, I'm obsessed with how Sumi and Akechi are thematic foils in pretty much every way. Others have written metas on this so I won't repeat it all here, but the sheer Potential of Akechi and Sumi's dynamic and the way their arcs parallel is so Interesting. Sumi and Akechi are such different people, but they are also so extremely similar, and its just. mmmm. good. makes brain go brrr.

I could go on and on about the ways Sumi and Akechi parallel one another, but one thing in particular that sticks out to me are their masks and the way each of them deal with their self hatred in opposite directions. Sumi buries her true personality and becomes her ideal self as Kasumi. Meanwhile Akechi does something similar with the Detective Prince persona, but by the third semester he's completely rejected that part of himself. Sumi learns to reconcile all parts of herself, while Akechi. doesn't. And Akira serves as Akechi's other half, the way that Kasumi served as Sumire's other half. But while Sumi saw Kasumi's natural talent, and how she outshone her in every way, she internalized that hatred to the point where she wished to die. But when Akechi saw how Akira was superior to him in every way, he externalized that hate and tried to kill Akira to prove that he was better. Sumi accidentally kills Kasumi because of her self hatred, and Akechi tries to kill Akira but fails because of his self hatred.

what about the individual characters involved? what does this relationship mean to them, what makes it unique among their relationships?

Akira - Sumi and Akechi are his closest friends, imo. Akira sees a lot of himself in both of them. They're the Fake As Hell Gang, each of them hiding behind various masks to conceal their true, inner self.

Sumi - Akira is the person who helps Sumi rediscover her true self and accept herself for who she truly is instead of continuing to hide behind her sister's identity. She looks up to his as a version of her ideal self, confident and self assured and fully realized. As for Akechi, I don't think Sumi has any idea what to make of him at all.

Akechi - I could go on for days about the complexities of Akechi's feelings about Akira, but in short, Akira is Akechi's only real friend in the world, and yet they were once bitter enemies. Akechi wishes it could stay that simple--rivals, and nothing more. But of course that's not true. As for Sumi, he sees a lot of himself in her--someone terrified that they aren't good enough, idolizing someone else as their better half. But he can't let himself get attached, so he keeps his distance and remains harsh on the surface no matter his sympathies.

favorite interaction they have in canon

"Just everyday Akechi." Obviously.

favorite interaction they have in your head/a situation you want to put them in

well. i mean, if you'll pardon the self promo, you can find out by reading the aforementioned fic where sumi saves goro in the engine room. hehe

Fuck guys help me. My friend, we'll call her k, has been acting really weird lately. One of my other friends called me on the verge of tears bc she was being really mean and weird. I was at the roller rink and some girl complemented my hair and i fell bc im weak and i told k about it and she went into a 10 minute rant about how she hopes that girl would kill herself, which is relatively normal for her, but i was confused about why k was so mad at the girl. I asked k why she was so mad and this is what our chats look like directly quoted (no pics bc Snapchats a snitch)

Me: why are you so mad about it tho?

K: idk

K: i just don't like girls who say your hair is nice

K: like NO MY HAIR IS TERRIBLE

K: NOT THAT UR HAIR IS TERRIBLE

K: its hard to explain

And then i was really worried bc that was really weird and out of character for her so then this happened

Me: i can't tell if your mad i got hurt or mad that she was flirting with me

K: what do you think?

Me: i dunno

K: sucks for you

Then she started threatening violence again

K: i hope she kills herself

Me: dude

K: i hope she falls off a cliff and doesn't completely die and then i truck runs her over and she bleeds to death

Me: please tell me whats going on

Me: im worried

And then i went to the bathroom and called her to make sure shes ok and she was not taking it seriously. I kept asking her to take it seriously and listen to me and she started ranting about the dnf fanfic shes gonna write. I was absolutely terrified because she has a history of SH and she acts weird right before relapses. Now I don't know whats going on bc we joke flirt all the time and she always says after that shes joking and she'd rather be straight (it might be straight idk she acts pretty eggish and im a trans dude(she doesn't know that tho)) but she also gets really jealous when i text other people or when i tell her about any celebrity crushes i have and she has said "stop texting (name) and talk to me 😡 ur mine 😡😡" and i always just ignore it or flirt back but im starting to worry shes actually caught feelings for me. She has a huge dating history and has dated nearly everyone in her grade and a few in mine and when i talk to her exes (excluding the ones shes still friends with) she gets REALLY mad. Fuck guys im scared last time i was in a relationship it ended with nothing but pain im not ready to even think about getting into a relationship with a real person right now and especially not with the school we currently go to bc its filled with homophobes and people who if they removed themselves the world would be a better place. Im so fucking scared man i haven't felt like this since my mom confronted me about cutting my hair ughhh everything hurts im so scared fuck fuck fuck

HCC Fic: Things That Might Have Happened in Professor Murphy's Class (And Outside of It)

Everyone seriously wants Professor "Thomas Murphy" to have a more permanent post teaching at the university.

Apparently, he really wasn't free to do so and was only available for the occasional lecture series which covered a variety of literature and creative writing related topics.

It must be said that about 50% who signed up for those classes expected to while their hours away daydreaming as it was universally agreed that Professor Murphy was "ridiculously pretty" but walked away surprised that he was, in fact, a very engaging lecturer, often sparking lively discussions and debates in the classroom.

He was also possessed of an unusual sense of humor.

To wit:

"Professor Murphy? Is it true that Rose Walker based the character of the Prince of Stories on you?" ventured one shameless student. Certain members of the class, who also happened to be part of the Hellfire Club, collectively facepalmed.

"It would be rather singular if the Prince of Stories chose to walk in the waking world, spending his time teaching and telling stories, wouldn't it?" Professor Murphy returned. He lifted his chin slightly, assuming an unmistakably imperious and regal air.

There were some students who were visibly making an effort stifling their laughter. Their fellows looked at them in bewilderment.

"Or perhaps, he might at that," Murphy continued, relaxing a little and continuing in a milder tone. Surely that wasn't a glint of mischief in those starry blue eyes. "Better than spending a tedious day entertaining another Faerie delegation."

More giggling from the Hellfire Club. "Please do not tell Lucienne or the rest of my Court that I am hiding here. I would rather not have to deal with the Cluracan today."

As if on cue, there was a knock on the classroom door. Murphy immediately hid behind a tall file cabinet, seeming to blend into the shadows. Some of the students gaped.

A stately woman in a smart, old-fashioned suit peered in, its warm colors complementing her dark skin. Her ears were strangely leaf-shaped and her eyeglasses glinted in the afternoon light. "Pardon me. Is this... uhm.... Lord... er... Professor Murphy's class?"

Dustin waved. "Hi Lucienne!"

The woman, who was apparently this Lucienne that Murphy had just mentioned, gave Dustin a Look. He shrank back in his seat.

"I'm sorry I tried to take a book out from your library," he said sheepishly. "Won't ever do it again. Pinky swear."

"I shall take your apology under advisement, young Dustin. In the meantime, have you seen Lord - er... Professor Murphy?"

To their credit, nobody in the classroom looked at their teacher who seemed to have simply disappeared in the shadow of that file cabinet.

"You got the right class, Lucienne, but Professor Murphy stepped out for a few minutes," Eddie Munson told her with aplomb.

Lucienne looked visibly flustered. "Oh dear. Perhaps if you could tell him that he is...er.... needed at his 'work' as soon as the class is over? I believe we could still keep everything running until then, but I am, quite tempted at this moment, to uhm.... yeet the Cluracan somewhere unpleasant."

"A+ use of current slang, Lucienne," Dustin approved, clapping his hands.

"We'll let him know," Eddie added.

"Thank you. Farewell, then." And Lucienne left.

"She has my blessing to 'yeet' the Cluracan anywhere she wishes," Murphy sighed, stepping out from his hiding place. "You have my thanks."

"He's that bad huh?" Eddie commiserated.

"Who or what is a Cluracan?" asked one bewildered student.

"A bothersome pest who should be 'yeeted' into the nearest Bog of Abominable Stench," Murphy answered, to more snickers from the Hellfire Club. He sighed. "Since Lucienne assures us the kingdom will continue to stand without my presence, shall we continue with the lesson?"

Posted on Tumblr:

That moment when you're fairly sure that a fictional character based on your ridiculously hot literature professor is still fictional.

And then, maybe, just maybe, he isn't?

#prince of stories #the dreaming series #into the night #rose walker why did you inflict your uncle on us #WHY #help our lit professor broke our brains #bog of abominable WHAT NOW #wtf is a cluracan #i still don't know #i'm not over how professor murphy says YEET

Reblogged by Rose Walker (@into_the_night):

BECAUSE.

#uncle dream #lucienne deserves a raise #in this house we all love uncle dream's ravens #even matthew

Perhaps because turnabout was, indeed, very much fair play, the day came when a certain history professor poked his head into Professor Murphy's classroom.

" 'Lo. I'm looking for a... hmm... Professor Murphy, I believe? He's about yea high, looks like Snow White's twin brother, has abominable taste in English literature, because Shakespeare, really?"

This time, everyone snickered, especially since Professor Gadling's opinions on Shakespeare was the stuff of campus legend.

It was just as well that Professor Murphy had no idea what exactly his signature tiny smile, tinged with unmistakable fondness in Professor Gadling' general direction, was doing to many students in his class. "Hello, my love. Shall I remind you of your fondness for Sonnet 29, especially when I recite it in the way most familiar to you?"

Professor Gadling put a hand over his heart, in his best theatrical air. "I cry your mercy, m'lord - I don't think my heart can take that right now."

Murphy leaned back against his desk, hands primly clasped in front of his body and then:

"I cry your mercy—pity—love!—aye, love!

Merciful love that tantalizes not,

One-thoughted, never-wandering, guileless love,

Unmasked, and being seen—without a blot!

O! let me have thee whole,—all—all—be mine!"

"You are a menace," said Professor Gadling, eyes wide and cheeks reddening. He did, however, respond with:

"That shape, that fairness, that sweet minor zest

Of love, your kiss,—those hands, those eyes divine,

That warm, white, lucent, million-pleasured breast,

Yourself—your soul—in pity give me all,

Withhold no atom’s atom or I die

Or living on perhaps, your wretched thrall."

There was an awed hush, which was only broken by Eddie suddenly saying, "I'm taking notes, because that, my friends, was a masterclass in wooing. You taking notes, Steve?"

"Imma woo you in a minute, Munson," Steve responded, cheeks just as red as Professor Gadling's.

"Apparently, we now have a 'ship name,' love."

A slow blink. "What does a sailing vessel have to do with us, dearest?"

"No, no, it's this thing the kids are doing these days. Shortening 'relationship' to 'ship' and apparently they are 'shipping' us and we have a 'ship' name."

"Ah. That explains some daydreams I've encountered recently."

"Daydreams...you know what? I don't want to know about that one. Anyway, they have a ship name for us and it's rather adorable, I'd say."

"Adorable. Hob Gadling, you know very well my opinion on that word and its connection with myself..."

"Now, now, duck, it's not just you this time - I've been dragged into it too. Our ship name is 'dreamling.'"

"What."

A kiss was stolen from one very discombobulated Dreamlord. "Like I said. Utterly adorable."

It made sense that Professor Murphy, with his signature Goth look, would have a raven.

It was significant that Murphy himself never referred to Matthew as his "pet." Matthew the Raven happily fluttered between Professor Gadling and Professor Murphy, although these days Professor Gadling wryly referred to Matthew as his bodyguard, instead of "babysitter."

Rose Walker was heard to comment that Matthew was actually the shared brain cell between her uncle and favorite history professor and it was hilarious to see Matthew apparently understanding all this and preening, looking very pleased.

Today, in the spirit of the Halloween season, Professor Murphy was reading Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven and Matthew was helping. Professor Murphy's unique, deep and resonant voice was perfectly suited to Poe's mournful and sinister verses and Matthew, to everyone's delight, was right on cue with: Nevermore.

Shivers ran down people's spines as Murphy read on. It seemed that the lecture hall darkened, and shadows crept along the walls, curling lovingly at Murphy's feet. There was the oddest glow to his eyes and perhaps the suggestion of sharp white teeth.

There was an audible sigh in the room when the reading was finished. Matthew flew over to perch on Murphy's outstretched arm.

"Bravo, Matthew," Murphy praised. "An excellent performance."

The class (except for certain students who just ended up stifling snorts and giggles into their hands) were completely shocked when Matthew responded:

"Heh. Happy Halloween, Boss!"

7. A Bonus Halloween Story

There's a candle burning in the midst of an old, decrepit classroom in the university.

There are items scattered on the floor - a dagger, a bunch of moly flowers, a scroll and an old book with one of those classic yellowing vintage art covers.

There is a hunger here, an unholy yearning and the young woman who sits alone in the middle of this room is swaying slightly, her eyes glazed and her lips moving, chanting something in a language not her own.

There are bony, wispy fingers crawling up over her arms, landing possessively on her shoulders. A voice whispering in her ears, a dead man's voice, exultant, triumphant.

She shivers. She shudders. There is a part of her screaming in disgust and terror but she can't stop chanting, she can't run, she can't get free, she knows that everything is wrong, wrong, wrong....

"You. Dare."

A white hand lands on the book, covering its title: Here Comes a Candle. A tall figure materializes out of the shadows, its head insect-like, eyes ruby red and burning flames licking at the ends of its night-dark robes.

The dead man screams in the voice of the girl he's possessing. "IT'S NOT FAIR!!! I JUST WANT THEM TO READ MY BOOK AGAIN!!! I SACRIFICED SO MUCH, THIS IS MY MASTERPIECE, I WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER ME, TO DREAM OF MY STORIES -- "

"You speak to me of sacrifice, Erasmus Fry - you who captured and defiled a goddess to possess gifts you had no right to. You speak to me of dreaming and remembrance and fairness?" The tall, terrible figure laughs and it is not a pleasant sound. His laughter drags the dead man's soul out of the girl's body with shadowy and sharp claws. She screams again and slumps on the dusty floor.

The dead man who was once the writer, Erasmus Fry, struggles feebly in the clutches of the shadows commanded by the King. "Lord, Prince of Stories, forgive me - I knew you not!"

"To you, I am King of Nightmares. Your work shall be buried and forgotten. And you will harm no one else."

The book dissolves in grains of sand and so does the ghost of Erasmus Fry, wailing in agony.

For the girl, the King of Nightmares is the King of Dreams once more. Her last memory is that of a cool, gentle hand on her forehead, star-touched blue eyes filled with kindness and a soft, deep voice that is strangely familiar. "Sleep, Waverly Moon. Dream peacefully and wake safely."

And she does exactly that.

-end-

Footnote the First: The inhabitants of Dream's Castle were rather surprised when their Lord burst into laughter upon seeing Fauntleroy and their dreamlings. The fluffy, feathery, duck-shaped dreamlings quacked merrily at their amused lord, even though they weren't sure what was it that made him so happy. Still, a happy King of Dreams was a good thing so everyone just shrugged and went along with it. Also, it was quite heartwarming, to be honest, as it had been such a long while since they'd seen their lord happy and content.

Footnote the Second: Professor Murphy's students (except for a Certain Few) have so many questions about Matthew. Matthew, for his part, continues to be the shared brain cell between his two bosses and enjoying his best life.

Footnote the Third: Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson finally went on their very first date on Halloween. It was, by all accounts, a success. Dustin is now mentally prepping for his "dads' wedding."

Footnote the Fourth: Lucienne has not yeeted the Cluracan into the nearest Bog of Abominable Stench. Yet. She has many accomplices willing to help. Including Lord Morpheus himself. The Cluracan's sister Nuala figures that her brother thoroughly deserves it.

Footnote the Fifth:

"'Snow White's twin brother' REALLY?"

"Heh. Well, you've seen m'duck and it suits him. Now how did it go again? Skin as white as snow, hair as black as ebony, kissable red lips?"

"Good Lord, Gadling, you are BESOTTED. It's disgusting."

"Oi, mate, I don't go twitting you for YOUR taste in men - dark, broody, sore loser Highlanders, was it?"

"..." A sigh. "Another round?"

"Sounds about right. Their classes should be over soon. Cheers."

"Ta ever so."

Methos.... otherwise known as Professor Adam Pierson, and Hob Gadling continued on with their Friday night tradition of knocking back a few pints. Tagay lang, pare.

#dreamling #the sandman #dream of the endless #hob gadling #methos #i crack what i want #matthew the raven #the plot bunnies have finally settled down into a fic #professor dream #pfffthahahahah #shhh nobody tell neil

Firestorm

Summary-Jett and phoenix are hanging out with their friends In Paris but Jett felt different regarding her best friend, Phoenix. She felt... nervous, like butterflies in her stomach. Jett found herself staring in to phoenix's honey yellow eyes, the fiery color at he tips of his hair, his plump dark lips that would look perfect on hers. Wait she couldn't possibly be thinking of kissing her BEST-FRIEND, colleague and possibly crush? Could she?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jett's POV

"Phoenix! Are you ready? The others are waiting," I nocked on his door whilst screamed at my friend who always seems to be late, its usually fine but this hangout was at a REALLY fancy French restaurant that was picked by Chamber. Its really exclusive we had to wait months to even get a reservation which means we can't be late, unless we want to wait another year to get a new reservation. Plus everyone in the VP will be there, it would be nice having everyone in the same place that isn't home.

My train of thought was quickly interrupted by Phoenix' door opening and him stepping out in gold chains draped over a plain black turtle neck paired with matching black dress pants, his hair carefully positioned out his face. "Did it really take you two hours to pick such a simple outfit?" I questioned the tall man standing Infront of me, raising an eyebrow. "HEY! It takes time to look this good mate," Phoenix says in his adorable British accent that some how was more formal then usual, "but in all seriousness you look beautiful Sunwoo."

I felt hot blood rush to my face, due to the sudden words, turning me as red as my tight fitting scarlet dress that I borrowed from Viper. I didn't know why I was blushing so much was it just the complement? Or maybe the usage of my real name, I mean he always complements me but he my never uses my real name. I shook myself out of my thoughts frantically turning my face away from the fire user stuttering a quick, "YEA YOU LOOK GOOD TOO!" hoping he didn't see the how flustered I am, but of course he did. I mean he isn't blind or stupid.

He let out a slight chuckle, Phoenix muttered just loud enough to let me hear, "You know your adorable," before grabbing my hand and and dragging me to the others, which made me melt either out of embarrassment or being flustered. "About time Phoenix, come on we have to get going, "Our French agent said getting on the Vulture, then turning to me "Jett mademoiselle, why are you so red, Est-ce que ça va? Do you need some water, or medicine?" "I'm fine," I respond covering my face with my hand, still over thinking phoenix's words.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shortly after landing we had we had a few hours to explore. "Hey Chamber, since we have a few hours to kill, are there any good sight seeing things near by? OH maybe we can visit the Eifel Tower, we are in Paris after all," Neon pestered Chamber, Chamber simply nodded.

I was too busy talking to Raze to care about what Neon said. "Jett you know what they say about Paris, right?" Raze nudged at my shoulder. "No, what do they say?" I cluelessly respond to my close friend . "Its the city of loveee and romance," Raze said winking and exaggerating the end of the word 'love'. "So? What does that have to do with anything?" I ask still absolutely oblivious what she has figured out. "Aw come on sister, I'm not dumb, I saw how you stared at phoenix the whole plane ride here, and how you keep looking away from me to glance over at him, not to mention how red you were whilst holding his hand before we got on the plane," the explosives expert remarks. "I WAS NOT!" I yelled getting the attention of most of the protocol including Phoenix, "sorry," I say directed to no one in particular, Turning my head back to Raze and this time whispering, "I haven't been staring at him, I wasn't red and I certainly don't like him! I mean what's to like? His annoying British accent? His pretty yellow eyes? His precious smile? His laugh that can break any kind of tension? How his shirt perfectly clings to his chiseled che- Oh Shit I like him."

"Mhm, I thought you were the agent that was suppose to think fast, how did you not realize that you like him, and how did you not realize he likes you? he makes it so obvious yo the point its painful," Raze groaned. "For your information he doesn't likes me any ways so it doesn't even matter," I explain to Raze rolling her eyes before hearing Neon scream at everyone wanting to get pictures in front of the Eifel Tower and of course everyone got distracted and started taking pictures Cypher being the camara man. First a group pic with every one, then friend groups and couples. First Skye and Yoru then Sage and Sova and last was Killjoy and Raze.

I started to walk away thinking we're done with pictures that is before Phoenix pulled me in from my waist for one last picture, just him and me. He pulled me onto his torso and Cypher snaped a picture, he then ran over to Cypher to see how it looked, leaving me a blushing, melting mess on the spikey, green grass. Raze and Killjoy walked towards me Raze' arm around Killjoy's neck, "What was that about him not liking you?" Raze mocked, Killjoy helping me up from the ground giggling. "That doesn't mean he likes me Raze!" I stated dusted myself off. The couple looking at each other then back at me, "du bist ahnungslos," Killjoy muttered in German knowing I wouldn't know what she said.

"nous devons partir," Chamber called out, we all looked at each other confused, "we have to go! Or we're going to be late," he translates.

________________________________________________________

Authors note-I wrote all of this in one night It probably doesn't make much sense but I was deprived of Firestorm content so this was my only option after remembering I cant draw. But I hope you enjoyed it none the lest <3 (if your looking for a word count the chapter was 1001 words)

If you want a chapter 2 look at my Wattpad @kya_ry ill also try to put it on AO3

Include pics: What are your top 5 ( 10 if you want) royal wedding jewelry ( earrings, bracelets, necklaces) you would want in your personal collection.

Hi, thanks for the question! I'm way less versed with other royals than everyone else who already answered this question, but I did a bit (a lot, lol) of retrospective research to try my best ^_^

Tbh I was surprised how the vast majority of the jewelry I saw was reallyyyyy not to my taste. I thought this was just a BRF problem, but man, most royal jewelry is . . . ugly. Especially what they choose for their weddings. I don't know, maybe I'm just too poor and plebeian to understand the tastes of the elite. But still, I managed to scrounge up a few pieces that I liked. Namely (and in no particular order):

Princess Claire of Luxembourg — Earrings

I don't know if this is a cheat or not, since she technically wore these to her civil marriage ceremony and not the actual big wedding, but whatever, I'm counting it, cause LOOK at that gorgeousness. Stunning aquamarine pendants with a sleek diamond halo? Absolutely lovely. I'd wear these in a HEARTBEAT.

Princess Rajwa of Jordan — Earrings

Especially as bridal earrings go, these are so fresh and unique. She didn't go for the tired old look of dropped pearls that eeeeeeveryone and their mama falls back on for wedding looks. Plus that double-draped line is so cool, especially with how the stones are all irregularly shaped and sized. (My friend is reading this over my shoulder as I write this, and she says the shape of the earring looks like a vagina to her, but ignore her, she drinks). These earrings were a super interesting and pretty choice that complemented her tiara well, but would also not be out of place on a peasant like me to get dressed up in.

Archduchess Gabriella of Austria — Earrings

If I absolutely have to go for dropped pearls, this, in my opinion, is the way to do it. Super minimal, sleek, letting the pearl speak for itself, with nothing but the tiny diamond stud to help balance it out. Very nicely done here. Tbh I don't think it matches particularly well with the tiara she chose, but that's not my business lol. We're just talking about what I'd take for my own closet, and these earrings are for sure the most wearable of any royal bride I've seen yet.

Queen Sofia of Spain — Necklace

Similarly, Sofia's necklace was probably the wrong choice for what she had going with the neckline of her dress at the time. It's getting overwhelmed by all that high-necked lace, unfortunately. BUT, as you can see, she wore it multiple times afterwards (swapping out the cross pendant for a simple diamond), as well as her daughter-in-law Letizia, and both of them had the sense to pair it with much more open and clean necklines, where you can see that absolutely lovely shape and glitter of the piece. I don't know what this kind of pinched, V-shaped design is called, but I love it.

Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex — Ring

Now, in my research for this post, I'm obviously not pretending I was able to closely scour every single royal bridal look ever. But I did go through a LOT, and none of the ones I saw ever experimented with some fun statement rings like Meg did. I love this absolutely enormous aquamarine on her, both because it's so bold and unexpected, it's objectively beautiful on its own, and of course, its connection to the story of her late mother-in-law.

BONUS: Princess Eugenie — Tiara

Okay I know you probably did not mean for tiaras to be included, and so I tried very hard to work around that. But I'm sorry, I just have to sneak this one in at the end. As I mentioned in another post a while ago, I've been largely unimpressed with the tiaras I've seen in the past (though I did come across some interesting ones while researching this post), but I make absolute exception with Eugenie's wedding tiara. I suspect I might be partial to the Kokoshnik tiara style in general, but what the Greville in particular pulls off with those breathtaking emeralds and the perfectly sloped shape and all those lovely scalloped diamond details . . . perfection. Truly. Best piece of royal jewelry I've ever seen in my life.

#thanks again for the q!#it was super fun to research all these weddings i never heard of before #fashun #oh oops this was supposed to be posted yesterday w/ my other answers but i accidentally saved it as a draft instead so sorry about that lol

I actually am not sure how they're going to play Jaune's decades-exile because they did play a bit of it with jocularity ("Is this how I sounded?") and kind of glossed over them calling him crazy, so it's possible it doesn't have enormous psychological consequences. The key was to punish him but then absolve him of it, and to alienate him and actually live out Ozma's own fairytale (the Four Maidens) which makes him sympathise with Ozma more when he doesn't like the guy.

It's very possible that the actual terrifying implications (he has been alone for the longest time and kind of went crazy with grief, his memories of everyone are dimmed with time) are otherwise skipped because it's not trying for any psychological realism or long-term consequences. But I also think that's a missed opportunity, because otherwise they could've just totally rebirthed him without memory of Ever After (because that was a threat). So the question is why you'd do this to his character unless you intended to do something with it that didn't just add a little higher emotional stake to Ever After.

He is changed, he is altered, but they did give him his life back so he's not completely punished. It's just what narrative task can he do with that. Of course I've contended that this psychologically alienates him from the side of Good in a way that Cinder is psychologically alienated from the side of Evil, which is suggestive of them meeting in the middle somehow. Just in terms of pure psychological maturity I also think they match up better, including their own years of isolation.

But then also like, if you did conceivably write Jaune/Cinder in this scenario - with a conceivable V10 Haven-esque confrontation - what is his memory of her? Is it softened with time? Is the enmity a fresh wound? Is she the one who's angry now, and he's the one who's forgotten her - a perfect reversal of Haven? Is that part of him being 'brought back' - friends and foes and all? Like, are we dealing with Jaune having issues across V10 or do we skip over it entirely? Because there is an open door there for development, and generally a potential for a whole paradigm shift with his character (if Knightfall eventuates) which tonally complements his exile.

If him being a silly old man in a young man's body is just a joke, though, I'm not really sure how much meaning to assign it. Unless it's both, and the 'he's fucking crazy' thing is meant as both comic relief as well as tragic wound. I do actually kind of like the idea of that, because I do like that two-sidedness to Jaune's character, which does put him in an interesting position - again - with Cinder.

Of course if they were really clever, Cinder's reaction to his changed experience should be different from everybody else's. At the very least - his love interest's should've been (whether that's horror or intrigue). Jaune is shocked and maybe even horrified that Cinder doesn't remember him and responded to his impassioned anger this way:

and I'm not even sure she's entirely fucking with him here, but I assume most people thought she was - but in the context of 'not remembering', it gets a lot more emotionally dicey since Jaune might not even really remember her. I also think this is working on a metaphorical reincarnation level thing (we literally get shot for shot the same interaction as Ozlem; this sequence precipitates the Ozlem reveal in V6 entirely) and the idea that he has forgotten her as well is pretty much Ozlem-perfect.

What would his forgetting of her look like? She'd force him to remember her, the way he forced her to remember him. It's very very reincarntion-y, because they are picking up Ozlem's conflict at the height of its enmity where they don't remember loving or ever even trusting each other.

It actually feels intentional in a really weird way.

ready for more Friendly Fighter Fodder???

Good. Glad to hear it. Love the enthusiasm.

This post will be a rambly and is no way needed to enjoy the Fighter series, so if you rather skip it feel free! This discourse takes place after Chapter 9 and assumes that you've looked over the character chart. Masterlist Character Chart Friendly Fighter Fodder (vol. 1)

First of all, I really appreciate how kind and understanding everyone has been since I started managing Sopebubbles' blog. It's been a lot of fun for me to interact with you guys and see you react to this story that I really love. For this Friendly Fighter Fodder, I got to interview our lovely and talented author. Without further ado, please allow me to introduce her. You know her best for such works as Serendipity, A Sea Without You, 21st Century Girl and so many more. Maddie, welcome. We are honored to have you with us today.

Thank you! Its a pleasure to be here! It's okay if I call you Maddie, right? You can call me whatever you like. I'm not used to sitting in front of genius. Oh, you're too kind. So let's jump right in. Why is Val's birthday important? Both beastie and I are very interested in astrology. I think about it at least a little bit with most of my characters, though not all. Sometimes I like to deliberately build characters around a zodiac sign. For example, Yn in The Pact was created as a Gemini to complement Jin's Sagittarius because it's one of astrology's great pairings.

However, with Val, I needed to choose a birthday. So I decided what zodiac sign suited her best and we ended up in April as an Aries because she's very action-oriented and pretty impulsive. I think her Aries sun and Tae's Aries moon really allowed for their explosiveness.

For awhile we were really stuck between Scorpio and Aries, because she is really intense and has a secret and this deep emotional world that she's trying to understand. The birthday we chose actually has her moon as Scorpio, which is why we ultimately settled on that particular date.

Also, my moon is in Scorpio so it made it easy to project onto her. 😂

And I happen to love scorpio moon folks, so it's perfect. Can you talk a little bit about the relationship dynamics within Bangtan? I know some of them have been touched on in the story, but they all seem very open. How does it work? Namkook: Namjoon wasn't super serious about anyone before Jungkook. Partially it was that he didn't want to get anyone invested in his lifestyle. His parents weren't exactly a role model couple (because his dad was a jerk). He knew pretty early on that he was bisexual, but never pursued anyone of either gender very seriously until he met Jungkook. As Kook tell us, it was Jin who got him to stop fooling around and put him to use. After a couple of years of working the streets for Jin, and after finishing high school, he began to work more closely with Jin and that's how he met Namjoon. They hit it off pretty quickly! Namjoon new his dad wouldn't approve of the relationship because of toxic masculinity, so they kept it secret for the most part until his father was killed and he took over. They are still pretty low key. While they love each other deeply and are very committed, they do indulge in (mostly) sexual encounters both in and outside the relationship. Jungkook keeps a separate bedroom because Namjoon snores too loud sometimes and they both like their space. I really like this pair together. We had talked about before how they complemented each other really well. Namjoon has a tendency to think everything through very deeply and choose the best course of action. While Jungkook can be entirely thoughtless, but then just kind of…do the right thing?? I think Namjoon is very taken with Jungkook's instincts and ability to be carefree and capable.

And Namjoon also appreciates how physically unbreakable Jungkook is. Maybe he thinks about that with Val, too. Allow your mind to wander where it will with that piece of information. What about 2seok? As discussed in chapter 8, Hoseok first met Jin on the streets of Seoul when he (accidentally) killed for the first time. But it was hardly the first time Jin had seen him. Seokjin thinks that one of his talents is finding people with potential. He's a pretty big fan of diamonds in the rough and fixing broken toys. He had been following Hobi around the streets for at least a couple of weeks. He wasnt necessarily supposed to be there; it wasn't exactly Bangtan territory. But he had been looking for a way to approach Hoseok, and the moment presented himself. Since Hobi really had nowhere to go and was worried about being sought out by the other gang, he stayed with Jin. They became deeply devoted to one another. When Jin was assigned to go to LA, there was no way he would leave Hoseok behind. They are very much a part of each other. Oh. And they are open to possibilities, but generally both too busy and not interested enough to pursue anything outside of each other, but they might be able to make some time 👀

I always saw Jin as someone who puts Hoseok before anyone else. In terms of being on the queer spectrum, in my mind (and I don't know if you'd agree with this) he had the strongest preference for men. That being said, he is deeply in love with Hoseok who knows things about Seokjin that no one else does. In a lot of ways, I think Seokjin is grateful to Hoseok for accepting him completely and he wants to do the same in return. So if someone was important to Hoseok or Hoseok wanted to explore, then Jin would be more than willing to let and encourage that happening. With or without him being there also. I haven't really thought much about how much Jin prefers men, but I agree he has a strong preference for Hoseok. I think Jin is someone who spends a lot of time trying to get to the very bottom of someone's being, which is part of why he doesn't trust Val immediately. I think once he's explored the depths of her, he'll be disappointed in himself for not having been the one to discover her. 😂 But yes, absolutely, he would let Hoseok have whatever or whoever he wanted. On to Vmin... Yes, now Vmin...theirs is the least like a relationship. They met while attending the same expensive private school. Jimin was…a trouble maker and entirely too smart for his own good. Tae was, well pretty much how Tae is. They were friends and that was pretty much it. Fast forward a couple of years after graduation and Jimin is being held by the FBI for some very less than legal computer activities. Tae finds out and appeals to Namjoon, who convinces his dad that getting Jimin out of trouble and under their organization will be well worth the cost of a bribe—which it was. Afterward, Jimin introduced Taehyung to the BDSM scene and the two began a casual, open sexual relationship. They both freely sleep with other people as we have seen, but they do tend to see each other as a constant.

I have thought a lot about Jimin’s character specifically! I don’t know if as authors we’re allowed to have favorites, but if we were allowed he would definitely be among the contenders! You may have noticed that Jimin’s header was used for Chapter Nine despite the fact that the focus was mostly on Y/n. However, this was the first time we started to see Jimin’s character through his interactions with other people. We start to get a sense of what he values and what he doesn’t and what motivates him. Jimin is aromantic and alexithymic. An important thing to note is one does not cause the other. You can be uninterested in romance and not have alexithymia and you can have alexithymia and be interested in romance. Jimin just happens to be both. I included Jimin’s aromanticism on his character chart because if you asked Jimin directly if he was interested in romance, he would flat out tell you, “No.” However, if you asked Jimin if he was alexithymic, he’d have no idea what you were talking about. Jimin is comfortable. Bangtan accepts him for who he is and he feels safe with his friends. Thus, he doesn’t feel the need to go looking for answers. He understands that on some level, he’s different but he also knows that while he doesn’t understand his emotions, other people don’t understand how to code. And to him, it’s more ridiculous to not understand how to code or hack into a government mainframe, because those things are much easier than emotions. Both intentionally and unintentionally, Jimin has developed coping mechanisms for his alexithymia. Because he doesn’t trust his understanding of emotions, he looks for behavior to guide his actions. He values compassion and loyalty most of all. Taehyung has displayed those qualities to him more than any other person, so he values Taehyung more than any other person. In return, he tries to show a similar amount of compassion and loyalty. The other thing too is that Jimin likes caring for people. He gets a great deal of satisfaction knowing someone else is enjoying themselves. That was what got him into the BDSM scene. He liked knowing what the rules to everything were and fulfilling expectations as a Dom. He liked knowing that he was giving people what they were asking for. And if he seems a little callous at times, well then, that's just part of his persona. And in case you’re wondering, Tae finds that bit particularly hot.

And as far as not wanting romance, he just doesn’t care for those behaviors. They look contrived to him, so he rather not participate. Easy as that.

If this is your first time hearing about aromanticism or alexithymia, I encourage you to look them up! And if you have more questions about how this affects Jimin or his relationships, please let me know. 😊 One more thought, I didn't want to have your typical giant ot7 love puddle. Not that I don't love those stories, because I do! It just didn't feel right for the story for me. I felt like it would be very intimidating for Val. And I liked the idea of getting to explore different kinds of relationships instead of one. Tell me about Yoongi. Ah Yoongi! Is it wrong to say he's my favorite and he's not in a relationship because he's just too wonderful? Okay, that's not the real reason. I imagine Yoongi probably really liked a girl in undergrad. They were friends for a long time, both premed, studied together a lot. He didn't get the courage to ask her out until senior year and she said yes, but then they went to different medical schools and, well we know that could never work. Med school is a busy time, too busy to invest in someone else. Then once he realized he would be part of the gang, there was no point, in his mind, of involving anyone in his life who he would just make vulnerable. If Jin has the strongest preference for men, then Yoongi has the strongest preference for women. Not that he wouldnt ever be interested or have sex with a man, but he's honestly fairly disinterested in the whole thing in general. He needs that spark. And I can't think of any brighter spark than our Val. She's so sparkly, sparkly, isn't she? 🤩 She sure is. Speaking of Val, does she know about all these dynamics? What does she think of them? I think this will come up soon in a few chapters, so instead of discussing what she thinks of them directly maybe I should tell you why she probably doesn't really know about them. Firstly, she does know about vmin, but she still doesn't fully understand that. Tae is not very good at explaining things. He'd rather just make out, tbh. But Val is someone who really needs things laid out explicitly, particularly when it comes to feelings and interpersonal relationships. She barely remembers her mom, much less what her parents' relationship dynamics were like. Her most intimate interpersonal relationship in her whole life was with Joaquin. Yikes. Honestly, she probably expects a certainly level of unhealthy behavior because she doesn't know anything else, even though she does know it doesn't feel good. She hasn't seen much of anything that wasn't a heterosexual, abusive relationship up close. I think she has absolutely no context to bisexuality or polyamory. And I think it's really going to throw her for a loop. She has a lot to learn! Luckily, she's a quick study. Yeah, I think she'll catch on! I know a lot of people were here for Taehyung and Val. We know that Val thinks everything was a lie, and it's clear Taehyung is starting to process some very complicated things about their previous relationship. Is there any hope for them moving forward? What do you think is the biggest lesson they need to learn, either together or separately? I know that's been confusing to a lot of people including Tae! When she says it was a lie, it's because she knew she was lying. She thinks she tricked Tae into believing she was someone she isn't, and that who she is isn't lovable. Obviously she has to learn that she is lovable, but the guys will take care of that. I think she needs to learn that she can be the person she wants to be simply by embodying it. She had to accept her own duality, and all the different parts of herself. She is traumatized and also naive, strong and vulnerable. Tae needs to learn how to communicate, honestly. In some cases, words are actions and actions that aren't properly explained or justified only do harm. I have a lot of hope for them! 🥺💕

Hi! I would like to request a BNHA matchup!

Basic Info: I identify by she/her and I am Bi-curious (I think that's the right word but what I mean is I think I might be Bi) I'm a Gemini and ENFP, My Chinese zodiac is the tiger, My favorite color is Mauve or Lilac, I'm a raven claw, My enneagram was either a 2w3 or a 3w2 I did it a while ago and forgot.

Appearance: I have long brown hair that looks dark most of the time but sometimes looks light (It reaches my butt), I have dark brown eyes, I have a hourglass body, pierced ears, I have glasses but I really like them, thick eyelashes, pale skin, I tend to put a lot of thought in my appearance if I'm going somewhere and people often complement me on my fashion style but little do they know I'm in sweats most of the time at home XD, and I'm 5,5.

Personality: I am most of the time extremely extroverted but sometimes I'm more introverted but I usually enjoy being social, I would say I'm either the leader friend or the therapist friend, I enjoy being relied on and I try to make sure everyone feels happy/comfortable/included, I'm really good at telling when someone is lying or feeling sad, I try my best to be as nice to people as possible which can sometimes hurt me, I can be judgy and if I decided I don't like someone then I don't like them and will try to avoid them, I can hold grudge, If I get in a fight then I will fight back, If I get in a argument then I often start crying depending on what its about, I'm trying to be more adventurous because I was virtual for a long time, I tend to overthink a lot and worry about how I appear to people, I'm good at school and take advance classes in math but my favorite class is Science, I'm pretty popular and I am good at making new friends, I can sometimes be a bit more emotional but I hate crying in front of others or talking about my problems with them, I love caring for people so I want to be a doctor or a nurse in the future, I enjoy acting, art, and anime, I take charge in group projects and organize hangouts most of the time, I have a close relationship with my parents my mom especially, I am a bilingual and I'm also learning Japanese so I can go to Japan as a foreign exchange student but I tend to procrastinate a lot, I can be blunt sometimes to make things less awkward, I have a love hate relationship with my body sometimes I think I look really pretty and curvy and thin and other times I think I look fat, I would love to try horseback riding I love strawberries (I don't really know what to say here tbh)

What I am like when I like someone/What I look for: If I have crush on someone then I like to be flirty and I like us teasing each other and banter and stuff like that. I'm pretty tall so I sometimes like someone taller but I'm fine with someone shorter than me as well, I would like whoever I would end up with to be able to vulnerable with me, I would like for them not to hurt me preferably emotionally or physically, I think jealousy can be sort of hot but not too much if you know what I mean?? I look for kindness and someone who can keep up with me, I would like for them to remember me and ask me to hangout or something like that since I have a lot of experience with people who only hangout/talk with me if I initiate it, I would like to support whoever I would date.

I like most characters the only character I would say I really dislike is Shigaraki.

Thanks!

༺❀༻ matchup ༺❀༻

here's your matchup! enjoy

mina ashido

she's literally chaos, she loves relying on you for favors. but will always. and i mean always keep her word to repay you in whatever way that could be.

it's giving power couple of the schools, two bad bxtches just walking the halls of ua high. dressing up however they want because there's no one stopping them.

she'd 100% be your hype woman. she sees you working that outfit she'll tell you and make sure to tell you how well you're working in that outfit. and that it's giving. and if you're ever insecure mina is there to comfort you and tell you just how beautiful you are. and from one woman to another problems will be shared.

when mina has something to hide because what 15-year-old wouldn't? i know i did but because of how well you can tell if someone is lying or not. and it's not that she'd hide anything from you she'll eventually tell you. and plus she knows or at least thinks she's a bad liar. and she doesn't want to find it out the hard way.

if you ever get into a fight or an argument in school you bet mina is right behind you ready to throw punches. especially if it's someone like monoma or even as bad as mineta? she's all ready. get ready to hold her back before the ua staff finds out about anything.

little miss popular you're definitely part of the baku squad. i don't make the rules. though because of that you and katsuki would definitely butt heads. especially leading team projects. good luck to that! you'll find a way.

speaking of being in the baku squad it's only natural banter is their way to show their affection and appreciation. /hj but being with mina she can definitely handle a bit of banter here and there. but become flirtly with her and she'll instantly cover her face away from you.

as far as your Japanese goes, mina's no tutor, but she does speak Japanese i mean you basically would be in a Japanese instituted school so it's only inevitable mina would give you a leading hand if not academically at least a sense of motivation.

horseback riding? when class a goes to a summer convention volunteering station. mina and you will be the most chaotic pair.

imagine horseback riding drinking a glass of strawberry smoothy or, horseback riding in a strawberry field. mina would be a giggling mess. she'll say how pretty everything is.

she isn't the jealous possessive type she's more of the "we're not going to admit it until the situation gets worse."

Unit Teambuilding - Bede

*sigh* Okay, fine. I'll take it, but only because it's one less contender for the Galar Villain Arc. Wait no shit, that means Oleana has an opening, BEDE GET OUT OF HERE

General Overview God, where do I begin with this asshole? Okay, how about this: Natural 90% bonus to move damage and sync if the foe is confused, another 90% move damage bonus if confused, 50% natural buff to everything including Max Moves and sync if super-effective, another 20% bonus to moves if supereffective. 250% bonus move damage. Yes, the baseline move damage is like...50, but that's a surprising amount of power for only needing Confused and on-type. Add to it that he has Gobsmack 4 on grid and a Max move that confuses, and it's pretty free. But wait, he can also debuff special attack and special defense for -1 each successful attack, with a grid node that makes it -2 special defense, and another -1 to a random stat! And Mystical Fire as a base attack means -2 special attack with each use of that, while Dazzling Gleam makes this all AoE! As you may notice, Mystical Fire and Max Moves means he sets Sun, and yeah, he does, while also debuffing special defense. But wait, there's also Psybeam, so he gets Psychic Terrain too! And keep in mind, being on-type for any of these means you're pretty much guaranteed 50% bonus damage to the Max Move, which is now like 600 base damage. And just in case you thought that was enough, his trainer move gives +2 special attack and crit, and not blocks, but REFLECTS status back at the user. And he gets Ramp Up on it to cap special attack anyway in two turns.

What the fuck, Bede? Chill, my god. Honestly, I freaked out a lot harder when this kit first revealed itself, and having calmed down, the only thing that stands out as exceptional beyond things we've seen before is the 50% bonus to Max Moves. Otherwise, his damage is pretty, I'd say, standard? A Tech unit with one 90% and 50% multiplier is just Bertha, you know? And his base move damage is terrible, so the 250% is just necessary rather than tremendous. But. I think what salvages Bede from just being really good as a Fairy type to a pretty universally beneficial option, is the debuffs on top of everything else. Sure, Max Move damage and all that is great, but the debuffs. The debuffs are tremendous for someone throwing around this much power. A potential -2 special attack, -2 special defense, and -1 in another randomized stat, all in one attack? That’s -5 total. Only Classic Elesa has that kind of debuff game, and his is more targeted toward the special. Frankly, this is what sells me on him. I’m really impressed.

Team 1: Bede, BP Morty/Spring Burgh, Mina Super tank with Bede offense. The debuffs he brings are mirrored with Mina's Charm, which also allows him to kick off the Fairy-type theme skill. Spring Burgh or BP Morty bring fantastic defense buffing ability and Potion support. The main issue here is the team is slow as dirt, but everyone has really low-cost moves so frankly it might be fine.

Team 2: Bede, Diantha, Roxanne Bede, even 1/5, is a fantastic pick for Diantha's tech partner. Devastation requires special attack debuffs, and Bede is more than willing to provide in three turns, or your money back. All you'd really want beyond that would be someone to help buff, and that is its own question of who's best. I went with Roxanne, because this is a team that needs the gauge support. It takes pressure off Diantha's setup time, gives some nice defense buffs to complement Bede’s special attack debuffs, and allows for a pretty smooth process.

Team 3: Bede, SS Lusamine/Lear, Liza/Prof Oak A bit ridiculous, but hear me out. SS Lusamine doesn't need more than one application of Terrain to blitz her way through a CS stage. Especially not with Bede's raw power behind it. Support can be Liza or Oak, either way. Liza's probably better if you do this with Lear, since Rising Tide appreciates her other stat buffs.

Team 4: Bede, SS Morty, SS Red/Blue and Arcanine/Serena Bede can set Sun, which makes him a solid complement to SS Morty at lower move levels. This allows the team to sustain, but additionally, Bede provides fantastic offensive and defensive support through his debuffs. Everyone loves it. I mean except Hilda.

Team 5: Bede, Dawn, Anni N I’m gonna bring up one other thing that can be done here. One of my biggest gripes about Anni N is how long setup is without specific support, but you often don’t really want to bring your Ghetsis or Champion Iris along for the ride, because they’re on their own sync nuking duty. While Bede can be, consider this as a build that works even 1/5. Bede can rapidly debuff special attack of a single target, and gets some extra debuffs as well. Dawn debuffs foe’s attack by one every time she takes a hit. Combined, they power up N’s sync nuke, while he sets up the buffs. Bede’s inclusion of special defense drops also means he gets the foe to the ideal -18 for max sync multiplier damage, AND has Sun via Max Flare. It’s a dramatic speed up to N’s setup phase, complete with Dawn’s EX support sync giving double damage, perfectly bottomed out special defense for N’s offensive throwdown, perfect debuffs for his sync nuke, and Sun, all with a fantastic defense profile and a unit who has built-in Vigilance to get a status blocking Lucky Skill, and an emergency pop heal to full HP.

Final Thoughts Bede is surprisingly versatile. I...kinda like it. And I'm mad about it. Because I generally don't like Bede. But I do like Hatterene. And I do like this kit. But UUUUGH it's Bede. He's definitely below the Master Fair units, but Ethan was polite enough to show up early, and even SS Morty helped out to make spark here possible. So I kinda have to. For Hatterene. And those sweet, sweet debuffs. But not for Bede. Never for Bede.

呀哈哈！正式离婚了！！！离婚了！！！！

再见，你这个lanjiao project! 他妈的不要再有续集了！滚出去！你娘都不要你，为啥我会要你呢？！

Now that it's gone and I have only one project currently to occupy my time, I can finally gain purchase on the things I actually wanna do. Gotta plan again!

Still haven't finalized my New Year resolutions. Bit tardy, sure, but it ain't the Lunar New Year yet! Ha! Time to use THAT as an excuse!

------

I gotta proofread Lyishere's grant proposal! Gotta make sure it sounds persuasive to the Singaporean government! I really hope things will work out in her favor. She's been questioned enough about her "employment status" last year since she finished her PhD, and of course, the good old "so you spent all your time studying to this level only to not have a job?!" and "Are you lazy? Can you please be productive?" tracts from good old Older Generation Asians. Ugh. I get that parents are eager to make returns on their investment, but let her take a break, man.

It's actually related to neuroscience, you guys! This is why she needed our help to proofread her grant, inter alia, because I'm more familiar with the field than she is, whose expertise is in operating biotech machines.

She did mention that if it went through and her fellowship is a go, and she gets to hire her own research assistant... guess who might get to do that? Haha! It's such a nice prospect, innit? Did we get in, Future Lyns? Who was the lucky one who got to witness that moment? It's alright if it didn't happen—my help comes with no strings attached, like always—but it's also really swell if it does. We've always dreamed of being a part of academia. Maybe this could be the path back in? Maybe?

-------

Crow dropped me a legal report on a case one Davinder Singh had worked on before. Who's that? Well, apparently, he's the HIM in the Singaporean law circle! We got to this point because I asked Crow about this corruption case, which somehow made it to my attention. So I'm gonna read that report too! Or as best as I can as a complete noob shit, hahaha! Only then she can talk about why Singh is HIM and I'll at least get it.

I actually also wanna read other stuff she dropped on my lap the last time. The legal debates and all; those concern ethics. Ugh. If only I'm not slow...

-------

Speaking of reading, I have my own books I gotta read! I haven't been studying my own materials for two weeks! Urgh, I must slot the time for them. My memory might wane if I wait any longer. Stupid limitation of adult brains! Why can't I be like a child, with neurons just branching out without pruning? Hmm. I'm sure there's a biological advantage to this.

And I have put a pause on my podcast listening for more than a week! We've been busy. New episodes had come out and I haven't vetted them before placing interested episodes in Listen While Doing Chores (Not Songs). That shit is more-than-a-week late for new arrivals and updates.

Let's restart the podcast listening with science. I have decided to re-listen—because my memories have faded—to episode 34, "Paul Bloom on Empathy, Rationality, Morality, and Cruelty" from Sean Carroll's Mindscape. I picked this for its pertinence. Specifically, it complements what I'm currently reading from the fiction side...

Paul Bloom is one of the most well-known psychologists in the camp opposing the lionization of empathy. If I recall correctly, he believes that empathy is actually what enables humans' propensity for cruelty. He champions "reasoned compassion" instead.

A lot of the people in his camp wave the flag of compassion, huh? Makes sense; the two are not the same. But those who disagree with Bloom think that compassion is very much dependent on empathy, or at least, it's driven by it most of all.

I don't know where I stand as of now. Both camps—and everyone in between—are intriguing. His ideas are seductive, but it's way too easy to see why I would say that. I lack affective empathy, and yet I fancy myself a pretty stand-up person. That is itself grounds for bias. Of course I'd want someone to validate me. Which is why I shouldn't so easily nod to it.

When we wanna learn about someone who isn't within our actual social vicinity, like a famous thinker, we always look at their critics first. Detractors, skeptics, dissenters. That way, I'll get to formulate a Roadmap of Curiosity, with points of intrigue and objections and questions and skepticism. It makes me a more lucid recipient of information, methinks. Open-minded enough to listen, but not so much that my brain falls out. Less possibility of being dragged by the arbitrary constraints of a narrative, innit?

So I've read some of the criticisms against Bloom's ideas, and I think they hold water too. I will do it again before engaging in that podcast, though Sean already adequately posed as a challenger the last time I listened. Sean is really one of my favorites! A theoretical physicist who's nonetheless a generalist drawing different ideas together, and not afraid to hold his guests' feet to the fire. I really like seeing such a high-profile and intellectually honest generalist. It's someone to look up to.

----

Speaking of reading!

One of our resolutions this year is to "finish five books." Well, here's something Lyndises of the weeks before did not account for:

We did not specify the qualification of fiction in this situation.

I mean, well—it's not like we predicted ourselves reading fiction this much this year. We've always just read nonfiction, and would always choose this by default. And nonfiction is either a huge ass tome, or it's so packed with information that we take a crawling speed to complete it. That's why it's only 5 books.

But I got a feeling that the first "book" I'm gonna finish this year is gonna be a piece of fiction. There's no way a nonfiction will be first. No way. I read this one almost every single day (except today, because After God happened. OOPS!).

Should we qualify a manga like Ajin to be a "book?"

I mean, it's not a bad fiction by any stretch. Hell, I honestly love it! So much! It's not like I turn my brain off when I read it; quite the contrary!

How is 睿芒 so consistently good at recommending stuff? 果然操千曲而后晓声，观千剑而后识器。佩服嘛！不过也没很意外，毕竟我也觉得他真的挺多令人欣赏的地方。

So to exclude it on the account that it's a manga is just a weak argument. It's as if being fiction makes it less worthy, which I disagree with. And yet, to compare easy reading—like a manga—to books like Behave and The Lies that Bind: Rethinking Identity is also unreasonable. One side is clearly a knowledge juggernaut. The other... is a thrilling romp.

I propose we reduce the value of fiction! Instead of making it a whole number (1), let's make it ⅛. Complete 8, and we get 1 count!

If there's any objection, let the next Lyn decide!

-----

Well, there is more fiction stuff to be slotted in.

I should find ways to squeeze in that Totally-Not-Romantic-Trust Manga. I really hope there isn't any eldritch kissing anymore. And it's not that stuffed with romance. I get so bored of those things so easily. I still can't believe I got sucked into engaging with romance in general. Fucking Apothecary Diaries, I swear.

I am hella interested in that Bibliomania thing. I don't know what it's about at all and I don't wanna look it up. It sounds like something to read blind!

I should also! Find ways to stream videos on Discord!

And then I'll ask Crow for her scheduling! So we can watch Mononoke together! Ahhhhh, so excited!!!

I hope I can watch it in the living room. But Mom is always nearby, in the dining room, watching her shows in OLD PEOPLE VOLUME. She complained about me talking to Fionn (I'm glad she's grown so accustomed to this, because this has been happening since childhood, that she never seemed to wonder what was wrong with me enough to make me stop. She just thinks I'm talking to myself), and nowadays complains about my game being too loud, or the sound of me pouring tea, or the sound of my controller. Bruh, yours is in OLD PEOPLE VOLUME! I can hear every fucking scene, fucking ambient sounds, and fucking!

Anyway, even if I watch this with 二韵 The Headphones, I'm still gonna talk and talk and talk to Crow. And based on our textual conversations alone I'm confident to predict that our interaction is gonna be Lyishere Style. That means, like when I'm with Lyi, we become more and more excited and louder and louder and noisier and noisier and cackle more and more and become more and more unhinged aaaaaand Mom will beat me up.

Nah. She can't pull that sort of thing off. She's grown old. She's grown tired. Her knees are weak. Her knees are weak points. But I don't think I'll resort to that, so maybe stop glaring at me, Fionn.

I think I'll inform her about it. I'll tell her it's the same Singaporean friend who sent me a cool-ass New Year card and one day might go to Kuantan. The same one she said would be "fine" to lodge in our house before I even asked. Well, that was what I kinda wanted to happen in the future, so good to know. Crow got so much tea I cannot wait to hear her going full-blown tai-tai!

Uh. Where was I? Oh yea. Livestreaming stuff on Discord. Mononoke isn't gonna be the only one this year. There's also Higurashi, which is slated to happen after we finish Ajin. Once I know how shit works because of Mononoke, Future Lyn wouldn't have to worry about the basics of live-streaming anymore.

Instead, she has to worry about something else! I should ask 睿芒 if it's safe to be shown in the living room. Just in case Mom decides to walk past to see what I'm looking at.

Remember the last time when that Lyn watched Devilman Crybaby in the living room? Shortly after Dad died? With his altar and picture aligned enough to look at the TV showing people in the club doing drugged-out violent sex and sexy violence? I don't think we should make a repeat of that. She traumatized our sisters accidentally with that back then, ha! And now Bugsy is always so worried about our "Horror Horror..."

Alternatively, I could just watch it in my room. It's not as big as the TV screen, but it's my room. My favorite place in the entire universe. Second place is Ayutthaya, obviously.

Anyway, it's not gonna happen yet. Let future Lyns worry. Mononoke first!

Shit! I have a birthday gift to compile! It's for the Ricecooker. Damn, I have to do it before February hits! I gotta remember to do that soon!

Hey, guys?

Ya know. There's a reason one of the first Lyns who started this Tumblr thing decided not to private posts like these. It's because we are leaving this for Future Lyns who might not know the password to this account or just wanna ghost-read it.

We also know that this means non-Lyndis can also read posts like these. But we kinda always hope that the sheer length and banality will turn most people away. I mean, we assume that no one would be interested enough to wade through all of this. We are seriously not that interesting.

But what if there are people who stay to read it all?

I don't think the probability is high, but it's not zero.

If I'm being frank? I don't mind it that much. The possibility is always at the back of my head, so all of us had only written stuff after vetting our thoughts and decided that they were okay to be here.

And yet, I kinda wish it's not everyone. As in, not everyone reads it, and certainly not everyone finishes it. If they finish it, I'll start to wonder why. What's so gripping about our stupid log entries?

Some posts are way more fun to read! Like reports on events! I really liked reading about our Coldplay experience and our CF stuff. I would love it if my friends read those! It's so fun!

But entries like these are kinda... huh. I don't know. Again, I am not gonna stop any curious cat from reading these at all, but I really assume no one would. Honestly, what's remotely interesting anyway?

Oh, why this sudden tangent? Nothing. I just thought of the possibility that this could be happening and wonder how I think about it.

Well, I guess this is my thoughts on the matter.

Should I ask whoever reads this myopia-inducing banal-ass ramble to let me know they have been reading it? Of COURSE I'm curious if such a person exists. I think it's a very low chance, but it will be so funny if they exist anyway. I will be so excited to know why they even read them, or if it's fun, or what they think of me now.

At the same time, do I really wanna know? That knowledge would stifle my illusionary, but useful, freedom to babble things for our future versions. I will probably suddenly feel so self-conscious I don't wanna write certain degrees of thoughts anymore. Wouldn't that bereft Future Lyns posts of meaning and worth?

Or... this could all just be nothing. Again, do I even have evidence, beyond circumstantial ones, that there have been people reading these things? Even if I do, it's evidence for that specific post and not all posts of this nature. And what am I gonna do? Prosecute them? Hahaha!

Nah. I think I'll thank them. I mean, imagine being interesting to one person. It feels unreal. It's like when you're a ghost and yet somehow, someone saw you.

Brief intro to characters:

Yolm:

He is a rogue firstborn space marine, not fallen to chaos or part of the Imperium yet, won't state what chapter he used to be from, but if you saw him you would guess he's probably a blood angels successor. Decisions default to him if there is a debate. Ran away from his chapter after developing a conscience. Got offworld, hijacked a merchant craft carrying food and left the survivors on a uninhabited but livable world. Got some distance before leaving the warp in the middle of the wreckage of a defeated corsair fleet just before the gellar field failed. Carries a chainsword, but on most raids doesn't even bother with it, preferring to kill with his hand or whatever random sharp thing he can find something about not letting himself get at all distanced from the death he causes. Despite that he is rather meticulous in his plans.

Gensa (pronounced: yen-SA):

Was (and maybe still is) an Aeldari corsair, she got incredibly lucky and was inside a strike craft when the carrier was blown out of space. Her ships power broke, and she passed out about 10 minutes before Yolm found her. She woke up in air, and then saw a marine and tried to run. She soon found a small knife and tried to kill Yolm. He was slightly faster. He took the knife from her and quickly offered a deal, she helps him find a good place to hide, he'll drop her off where she wishes but on the outskirts. In the end, she chose to stay on, if he is the captain of their little band, she is the first mate/navigator since she has two millennia of experience at piracy and knows much of the webway.

Eris Harkan is a normal if skilled, human. He had tried to raid the Trondlag with some other pirates, most were wiped out, and one who surendered was tasked with executing the others, assisted by a servitor originally meant for splitting wood to burn stolen from a rather eccentric planetary governor's lieutenant's favored underling's home during a raid. Eris asked the executioner if his hair could be held off his neck after all it's so very pretty. The executioner did so, and as the splitting blade came down, and back Eris's head shot. The blade came down on his executioners elbows and Eris cut his bindings on the blade. Yolm enjoyed the quick thinking, even if it was at the cost of someone he had planned on living longer, and made him a deal, Join or fight him unarmed. Eris wisely chose the former. Often serves as a tactical advisor to Yolm and Gensa simply because he is very very good at improvising, Officially the quartermaster.

The Trondlag: Home for Yolm's crew/kingdom. Numbers fluctuate, but on average Yolm has about 600 people under his protection and command, who they are doesn't much matter, though most of the complement are human, with a few tau defectors. It looks like a piece of junk, and started out as a long abandoned asteroid mine. However, the ship has been upgraded in the mean time with tech stolen from pretty much everyone but the orks. Its two greatest defenses though are that it looks like a dime-a-dozen space rock on visuals, and they managed to steal some bit of tech that hides many of the signs that it is something more at long range.
