Oh my gosh YES... I think I got it down...!! ( J; O; )J

And now I will never be able to draw this again.

#I don't think my problem was entirely the shorter trim to his bangs #but trying to get that subtle little bump to the back of that head (how very pat-able it remains to be) #I also remembered the details to the classic-classic design are dark embroideries so there they are #I happened to fuse some details of this to the smash-iteration when I draw this boy anyway but I thought that was important to remember #doodle-daas #akumajou dracula #you know who this is (we all know)

Hello again, I'm here to request once more. Feel free to take all the time you need btw! I would always be patient for your wonderful works ^^

This time I'd like to request from the Drabble List#2 - 47 with the 020607 Trio (mainly Mahiru though). And yes, this is hugely inspired by that one minigram with Mahiru. And as usual, feel free to change the scenario and/or the characters.

Thank you again, good luck with your future studies and take all the time you need!!

Woo thank you so much!! :'D This one was a ton of fun (and once again led me to get smacked in the face with unlikely character parallels I wasn't aware of before). It's from Kazui's pov but it's still mainly about Mahiru. I ended up going canon-compliant, but I did consider sticking super close to the minigram and do a little normal-au where Mahiru drags them across Japan to make a perfectly homemade cake 😅

Everyone knew Mahiru had a tough time distinguishing genuine from joke, but Kazui hadn’t expected it to come back to bite him. Mahiru wasn’t stupid by any means; sometimes she just forgot that others weren’t as unabashedly honest as herself. When she said something, she meant it. Kazui… not so much.

Which is why, following a conversation about her skills in the kitchen, in response to being pressed about his own household, he thought it would be inconsequential to utter the following words to her.

“Bake me a cake, and we’ll talk.” 

Kazui had laughed his booming laugh, Mahiru had giggled in her sweet little way. Neither realized what had just transpired.

That is, until Yuno dragged Kazui across the prison the following day to make him aware of the monster he had released upon the kitchens. The two hurried over to find a massive operation underway: Mahiru had several layers in the works, she was stirring multiple fruit fillings, decoration choices scattered across the countertop, and anyone who dared venture too close was shooed away with a slap from her wooden spoon. 

It took a few minutes to get the situation all worked out.

“So… you didn’t really want a cake…?” She asked, pausing mid-stir. Her eyes were so big and round.

Yuno came to the rescue. “Of course he does!” She interrupted. “Everyone here would die for a taste of your baking~” 

Kazui nodded. “I just didn’t mean for you to work so hard for my sake. I’m really not worth all this effort…”

Mahiru’s jaw fell, offended on his behalf. “Yes you are!” Her attention was momentarily caught by a timer chiming. Kazui took the bowl from her so she could take a pan from the oven. He picked up where she left off stirring. 

“Either way, why don’t I help you out?” Yuno had grabbed some ingredients from the counter as well. “While we bake, I’ll tell you a little bit about myself. A little,” he repeated. 

And he did. Her questions were easier than he’d expected. While the others knew how to poke and prod about each other’s murders, Mahiru really did just want to know about his home life. While she buzzed around the kitchen switching pans and creating intricate icing patterns, she asked him about his childhood, his hobbies, his job. As soon as she saw his wife was a touchy subject, she let it drop (though with a bit of disappointment, to be sure). He scrambled a bit as Yuno the human lie detector would shoot him a look now and then. Overall, though, his measured answers managed to satisfy both women without giving much of himself away.

When they carried the spectacular cake into the common room to everyone’s amazement, Mahiru prodded him with her elbow.

“We should talk more! I mean, come on. How difficult was that?”

If only she knew the half of it.

———

“Hey, Mahiru.” Kazui traded weak smiles with Yuno as he joined her by the bed.

“Oh. Hi Kazui,” came her weak voice. She tried her best to smile under the tangle of bandages that surrounded her. Then, silence. 

Aside from a few coughs and small requests, that silence stretched on for hours. He and Yuno usually had a lot to talk about, but neither could muster anything up today.

He thought Mahiru had dozed off, but she surprised him by taking his hand. “Kazui?”

“Yes?”

“Do you really think I’m unforgivable?” 

He blinked. “I can’t really say.” 

The moment the words left his lips, he knew they were the wrong ones. Well, the glare that Yuno was trying to murder him with also helped. “Er, I forgive you, of course. But… I don’t know anything about you, Mahiru. Not really. I can’t say why others would think you’re unforgivable or not.” 

“...I see.”

Yuno looked like she wanted to add something, but couldn’t find the words. Traces of emotions flickered over her face before she could cover them up. Kazui guessed she wanted to defend Mahiru. But maybe she also agreed with him. And that was when the realization struck him.

“I guess, I always thought you were so much better than me and Yuno when it came to talking about yourself. You do it all the time, and very easily. But now that I think about it, I probably know just as much about your situation as you know about mine. For such an honest person, you hide everything just like we do. Or maybe, you hide from everything, like we do.”

More silence.

A teary smile appeared on her face. “You know… you could bake me a cake… and maybe we’ll talk.”

Kazui didn’t laugh, and she didn’t giggle. He nodded, solemnly. “I think that’s a good idea.”

#milgram #mahiru shiina #kazui mukuhara #yuno kashiki #i know yuno faded a bit into the background but shes in the same boat as kazui ;-; #i love that minigram so much asdfdsf she would have such massive ambitious projects 😅 #(and if the day 16 feast is any proof we know she really can pull them off!!) #so i think she could make this spectacular cake with limited prison resources -- the problem is no one is actually asking her to... #i know all the prisoners arent super open about their crimes but like if you ask the others directly it feels like theyll say a few things #even just to defend themselves #but yuno-mahiru-kazui may not even give you that much... #also picturing kazui very bad at baking so yuno definitely helps him with that cake he promises mappi :') #thank you so much for your kind words and patience ahh <3 #i actually struggled a lot with this one (as in it took a while to physically write despite having the ideas early on) so it meant a lot ✨ #i was so obsessed with this one -- #one day i want to expand that first section and play out their actual conversation - i just love the concept of them baking and chatting #yuno coughing or bumping into kazui every time she can tell hes lying #mahiru subtly hiding things too without realizing #and cake shenanigans of course #it was way too much to cram into a drabble without getting lost but i do want to eventually 😤 #and thank you-- studies are going well 😤 wishing you well in your current endeavors! #drabbles

You always see those jokes from ppl in romantic relationships (though it could be applicable to platonic relationships if u and ur besties are all tactile ppl and not repressed) that are like 'haha no one actually cuddles like that or sleeps entwined with their partner'

And it's like. 1. I think u underestimate how touchy feely I am as a person and how having my friends fat ass cat sleep directly on my chest despite severe allergies was maybe the only good thing to happen to me this year or ever. Another living thing!!! In contact with me!! For an extended period of time!! Proof that I exist!! 2. I would like to at least have a CHANCE to discover that I don't actually like that kind of contact for myself instead of just the sense of there being smthn missing!!! Of loss!!! For someone who is extremely anxious and fussy about everything I sure do want touch + human contact!!!

#the duality of fran #anyway i am soooo touch and love parallel play #everyone come cuddle romantically or platonically idgaf #i am just. AHHHHHHHH why are we so separated and apart #also tho. i startle easily and do not trust and hate even just bumping into strangers #this is a feral cat situation. do u see my problem #(oh weighted blankets and long extremely hot baths we're really in it now)

more customer service voice Damian hcs, bc it's been a bit.

After learning the "regular citizen" voice, Damian decides he has to master more accents and dialects, in case he's on a mission away from Gotham and needs to blend in. (This is the son of Batman we're talking about, of course he plans for these things). Over the summer Damian travels to large cities around the world, and familiarizes himself with their way of speaking.

Cass found out very early on and decided she's going with Damian, bc I think Cass would enjoy sightseeing. But after they were caught leaving for Moscow(and after Damian explained that he was doing this for research at least 7 times) it was decided someone should supervise them. Dick patrols Bludhaven, so that was a no. Jason and Tim were automatically out. Steph went to supervise them, but was exempt after they were arrested in Seoul. So Duke ended up being supervision, unless Dick was available to go with them.

This doesn't mean they didn't get into chaos bc of Duke. No, it's bc with Duke, they can be invisible and not be caught doing the chaos. Duke does enjoys the trips with them tho, mostly for the sightseeing and food.

One time, Cass convinced Bruce to join them(how, no one really knows. Cass is just magic like that). And they had a good time in Rio de Janeiro, tho Bruce was almost recognized a few times, and he would sometimes try to sneak off and work. Unfortunately, Cass's attempts to invite Babs weren't as fruitful, mostly bc she didn't understand why Damian wanted to actually go to those places instead of learning it through the chatter radios of those areas instead. Damian's only response was that it wasn't the same and being there changes everything about it.(he was actually doing both methods).

Damian, Cass, and Duke do run into Talia at one point. She was intrigued as to what her son was doing in Melbourne with Cassandra, and the newest child Bruce had taken in, but is by no means unhappy to see him. Duke on the other hand, is scared to meet Damian's mom, given her reputation. Damian and cass being so nonchalant about meeting up with her probs didn't help.

There was a small "hi, what are you doing here? Huh, what a coincidence." Type of conversation. And then Duke sticks out his hand and says a (very awkward) "it's nice to meet you, Ms. Al Ghul." Which Talia shakes and says (also very awkwardly) "Uh, Talia is fine. And nice to meet you as well, Duke." Then leaves. Damian was surprised, he's never seen his mother so blatantly awkward before. He's seen her at a loss for words, but she remained elegant as she pondered what to say next. But in that moment, she was shy and dare he say nervous. "Thomas, what did you do to my mother?" "What? I dunno man. I was more worried about her glaring a hole in my skull."

The only trip that Damian went on with someone besides Cass was his trip to England, bc he wanted to go with Alfred. While he knows Cass would do fine, Damian wants to learn as much as he can, and learning from someone who grew up there and is close to him is his best bet. This of course took a lot of work, bc as everyone knows, Alfred Pennyworth is the backbone of the Batfamily, so convincing both him and the rest of the family would take some time and effort. But after a promise from Bruce to not be up to his ears in work while they were gone, Babs noting she will enforce that promise, plus Jason and Duke vowing to protect Alfred's kitchen at all costs, Alfred went with Damian for a week to visit the UK(by far the longest trip Damian went on).

And while the trip wasn't perfect(Damian almost beat a man bloody for insulting Alfred, and lots of bad weather), it was by no means a bad time. Damian picked up the accent and slang almost automatically, Alfred met some of his old friends. By consequence, Damian learned a lot about what his grandfather did before meeting the Wayne family, which he will not retell in a promise to Alfred(but he will say he knows just to mess with the rest of the family)

Did Wayne manor crumble in Alfred's absence? Surprisingly no. For the first couple days, Bruce made good on his promise to take care of himself, but by day 4, Babs had to entirely disconnect the computer when it was time for Bruce to sleep. And if Cass didn't guilt-trip the hell out of him and Steph didn't bully him, he probably wouldn't have fully left the bat-cave. Duke and Jason were able to protect the kitchen for the most part. Jason often made the dinner, and Duke catered to the random cravings of the rest of the family. They did have to call Kate for backup twice, but the smoke alarms never went off.

Overall having to fill Alfred's shoes was a good bonding experience for the family, though not one they would ever try to replicate willingly.

So I think that's all for Damian Wayne's summer world tour.

#the chronicles of damian's customer service voice #note: if it was just Damian there would be less of a problem but since it's both dami *and* cassie patrol it requires more thought #especially when their motivations weren't totally clear #Steph is very disappointed she didn't get to go on any trips but knows she can live vicariously through duke & cass's stories #damian's too if she's lucky #do we ever see Cassie and Talia interact in the comics? #idk but I think they'd at least know each other enough to be able to not think to much of it if they bumped into each other #Duke and Talia tho. they would have no clue what to do or think as they only know each other from Damian and Bruce #bruce gets very sunburned in Rio de Janeiro even bough he put on the most sunscreen and he's very bitter about it #Steph should bully people into self care more often #does Damian ever get to use these voices the way he planned? probably a little #damian wayne #cassandra cain #duke thomas #bruce wayne #alfred pennyworth #talia al ghul #stephanie brown #batfamily #batfam

So on one hand I got to participate in extubating a patient today but on the other hand I did get an E on my thesis which my advisor told us was "A or maybe B material" and that we were genuinely quite proud of.

#so all in all a Great! and also a Very Bad! day today #studyblr #medblr #isak talks #we called the advisor when we found out and she was absolutely shocked. i was real mad at her at first but now im just hoping #the appeal process will be quick and bring some change. #i mean fuck id honesty rather have an F than an E. at least that way we get to rewrite whatever parts dont actually work. #but seeing as our advisor is shocked too im hoping itll be bumped up cause of the appeal. #also honestly fuck my university for forcing us to change our entire thesis - problem statement and all AFTER the halfway point. #we had already gotten the go ahead! they told us time and time again we wouldn't be penalised for writing about a #relatively rare (but important!) condition. that it was innovative of us to chose a subject where theres been done few high quality studies #and then literally several days after the halfway point they go oh well actually no. you cant do that. #[redacted] university Get Your Shit Together challenge #anyways i love intensive care! pulmonology is great! i made a difference on the ward AND I got to be a part of the extubation team! #which is a great day!

A lot of the 1 star reviews at Sonora are about being scolded for covid masking and uh. It just kind of occurred to me that the guy didnt even say hello, he just. Immediately put his hands together and went "yeah the dogs (other ppls dogs; I didnt have any) and the cane definitely can't go in." Like howdy do mister fucker?? The fuck??

#inaccessibility #we swapped to san angelo later in the day and like ppl there are rude as fuck it turns out so ig this was standard #damn its bad when people in kother fucking NEW MEXICO are more polite JESUS CHRIST #in san angelo ppl kept brushing up and bumping me (a quad cane user) and walking in a cluster and not getting the fuck out of my wa #i eventually had to walk strong and put on a bitch face and a group of college guys all awkwardly shifted to one side of the walk way #like fuck what is their problem down there #sonora caverns

No wonder all the other avatars clowned on jon the whole time. They spent like 50 years dealing with Gertrude “I’m the thing monsters see in their nightmares” Robinson. Years having the Archivist boogeyman in the closet and then this uptight twink comes in with zero knowledge and zero explosives? Like no wonder they gave our mans a hard time. It’s like going from Darth Vader out there stalking you to a wet cat in a sweatervest.

#imagine the one thing even monsters fear suddenly disappears and is replaced by a sock puppet #look the point is #they clowned on jon hard because they couldn’t do shit to gertrude #Gertrude was so terrifying out of all the horrible cursed ways she could’ve died she had to be killed like a normal person with a gun #because even the things that go bump in the night did not dare interfere with her #and when they did it did not end well for them #Gertrude is both #gaslight gatekeep girlboss #and #manipulate mansplain manslaughter #I’m obsessed with this old woman #Jonny sims said we need more diverse and realistic representation of women in media and he followed thru #actually TMA has a lot of old people that would kill me and I think that’s very neat #Gertrude is so funny she’s not even web-aligned in her solutions #she’s like #i see a problem I blow it up #Gertrude vs the fears is unstoppable force vs immovable object #i like to believe the real reason Elias chose jon is bc he went #‘who is the most pathetic wet cat looking person around here’ #saw jon and went #‘perfect no way the avatars can resist bullying him’ #TMA #TMA spoilers #idk what I tagged this w already #my mind is entirely on gertrude #gertrude robinson #spoilers #the magnus archives #kori stuffs

every now and then when we say something in-sys we DO still hear Allan's voice but barely so

and sometimes. they're like "QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I'M DEAD??" when,

We never DID explicitly tell anyone that, and

He is dead? He's literally a ghost. He honest to god legit for realsies died in 2019.

and he's like..,,,, "oh right! lmao sorry I forgot, carry on" JDJSMSKDMFCN??

#pk;m electrochemistry🔴 #no idea where Rosie got off to and what connection Allan has rn isn't enough to ask them #his whole 'voicing other people's thoughts/what they're saying' thing is an autopilot thing he does & at this point #since he's been doing it for over a decade he's barely aware of it now #but w Rosie it's like. Ok. Well. There's a ton of similarities between hir & I. what if sie.... um. #and I'm like WELL THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE CASE AHAHA [<= in denial in case that Is the case.] #but also like Actually logistically that's probably not what's happening here #cuz that doesn't FEEL like what's happening. hir & Allan r probably in some weird void somewhere #There's also The Horrors that ce sometimes Reminds Me Of Against My Will so I think if ce DID integrate into me #that would not Happen. it feels very 'I am forcibly receiving these memories from someone else' #and not 'I Myself Am Suddenly Remembering These Things And It Sucks' it's like ce's shoving them into my brain remnants #so aNYWAYS! THIS IS FINE [it's not but it's like on the levels of 'I keep bumping into shit' on the Annoyances Scale #very Low but still mildly painful and Annoying.] #idk how much awareness either of them have rn or have had for the past Ever since they stopped being able to front #like we Have tried asking and we get nonsense or nothing in response #so. ??????????? cool?????????????? well anyways. if that changes and they come back and they don't like any changes we've made to things #that's their problem then ig! jxjaksskxj

#and also web designing #but i paused that for a hot minute because i bumped into the old #“wait i would like to have a good cover for this before i put anything out about it” problem on the “look at my projects” page #Mindhive and The Dragon's Midwife are probably going to get nice and cover-ified by the end of the month #Solarboys already has something decent #just need to figure out what filigree i want to add around the edge of the text #i like me some text decorations #also we have done something fun and text-tilty with Mindhive's cover #it looks so good why have i never tried anything like this before
