#apologies this took a while! 🙇‍♀️
Note
how would Gareth react to finding reader in his clothes?? or even anything red plaid, like they're also wearing a red flannel or maybe a red plaid skirt?
(i'm sorry I request so much when I know you have many fics to get back to, especially because today is Christmas, but I had this in my head and I know I would have forgotten to write in this to🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️)
OMG NEVER APOLOGIZE 🫶🫶🫶
lol i should also be working on stuff but i’ve been with my family a lot :p
(and i’m so sorry this took so long to post, i’m gonna be honest i completely forgot it was in my drafts 😅)
He would be over the fucking moon to see you wearing his clothes
Whenever you stay over he always hopes you forget pajamas so he can put you into his shirts and pajama pants
He thinks you look so cute in his oversized stuff
He’s someone who’s a little possessive so he absolutely loves it when you wear his stuff while you’re out
His favorite things of his to see you in are his vest or his Hellfire shirt
Especially when you’re walking around together at the mall and everyone can see his vest on you
It’s a little big on you but it keeps you so warm and it smells just like him so you’re always happy to wear it
When it gets colder out in the fall he INSISTS you have to wear his swetshirts
And he’s one of those guys who loves getting to match you too
He once saw you wearing a red plaid skirt and immediately loved how it looked on you, he’ll even ask you to wear it when you go out so you can match his vest
And before you go out he’ll sometimes ask what you’re wearing so he can try to match you a little bit

Hi... Ima a big fan ,I had a request could u do mafiatale and mafiafell sans x reader angst, fluff and maybe smut
Helloooo There darling!! <3 this has been a long time coming I sincerely apologize for the wait sweetie 🥺
I just didn't know how or where to go with this story but I think ik where I'll take it! I'm so happy your a fan of my writing your so sweet you've waited a while for this so I'll make it as long as I can 😊❤💙
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come back out sweetheart.. Please..?
(A mafiafell sans X mafiatale sans X reader) angst, fluff and a lil smut
You ran up to your bedroom in tears and slammed the door behind you. You sat on the floor as you cried into your knees. Sans and butch had been fighting again, when you tried to stop them they both shouted at you to stay out of it.
They immediately calmed down when they saw the tears in your eyes you couldn't handle being shouted at, they knew that. But you didn't wait for an answer you ran straight up with tears silently rolling down your cheeks.
"Dollface..? Ya.. Uh ya in there..? " said a soft low voice from outside the door it was butch. When you didn't answer sans chimed in "we're sorry baby.. We didn't mean to upset ya.. ", butch decided to add" yea.. We really are..we shouldnt have raised our voices at ya..come back out sweetheart..please..?" you could hear how sincere they sounded so you slowly opened the door avoiding their gaze.
Sans put his hand on your cheek and wiped a falling tear, causing you to look him in the sockets. "We know you were tryin ta help babe but sometimes if we fight we don want you gettin involved is all" sans said softly. Butch nodded in agreement and took your right hand to give it a gentle kiss.
"We're sorry" they said it at the same time looking up at you as they were on their knees because they knew it tugged your heart strings.
You sniffed "I'll forgive you.. " you mumbled, they both bounced up to shower you in kisses until you stopped them before they could. "If" they looked at you with a confused look. "If? " sans asked.
You composed yourself before stating "if I get you two all day tomorrow with cuddles, kisses and attention", you puffed out you're cheeks and turned from their gaze.
You're little fit was rudely interrupted by being tackled to the bed. "Ahh! " you shrieked as they both pinned you down. "Come on doll Ya'know we can't take days off just for a lil fuck around", butch chuckled. " do you want me to forgive you? " you huffed at him.
But that huffed turned into a gasp as he rubbed up you're hips and sans kissed you're neck lightly biting it too. You let out a soft moan as your neck and hips were sensitive. "How bout we make you forgive us~? " sans said in a low tone in your ear that sent a shiver up you're spine.
"Mhnng~ you'd have to work for it~" you whined. "That's our naughty girl~" butch ran his fingers up your warmth causing a sinful moan to fall from your lips.
The night was let's just sayy passionate~😉😉
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Again I really do apologize for the wait darling 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️
You've been very patient with me, but alas I have delivered! So enjoy your mafia boys if you want some more smut let me know through my ask box and I'll get on it! 💙❤
Again enjoy darling you deserve your husbones<33

“Is this a booty call” I KNEW HE’D BE THE ONE TO SAY THAT pls he’s so annoying!!!! and hot!
And ofc… they’re bonding in the best way: ✨trauma✨ but seriously I loved the way they skipped unnecessary and cliché comfort words, just listening eo🥹💜 (and OMG the whiskey scene from the vliveeee I’m a psychic like jiminie lol)
The smooooth “want a tour?” just to end up in his bedroom 😏
But it was the first time they took their time 😭😭😭 the first time seeing eo naked😭😭 THEY FINALLY KISSED !!!!!! These bitches were starving!!
“You’re not the only one with great head game” 🆘🆘 helppp🚨police‼️🚨🚨 him making her squirrrttttt 😫🤯and I’m going to stop with the smut scenes bc if I’m going to say what I liked I might as well re-write the entire scene, so I’ll just say that I came the hardest ever and had to take some time bc I was FED yes in red bc I don’t know how to emphasize how good your smut is you’re a goddess 😫❤️‍🔥 and what is it with you and showers scenes??? Why/how are they so good and soft and hot at the same time 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

But In love with her or not he’s just looking out for her, ffs why the fuck she went so hard on him😫😫 but I’ll trust the process🥺

and of course the piss poor communication strikes again.... both between yoongi and reader and with 😭 baby goth 😭 dog dad 😭 didn't deserve this.....
i really really appreciate you calling out reader's state of mind and taking that into consideration tho 💜 i see a lot of people SUPER angry about how she handled it (which, FINE!!! she did it BAD! REAL BAD!) but at the same time - she is not doing well y'all 🤣 that adrenaline rush of thinking she's getting caught is REAL, and she's swimming in her own denial (and i would argue, so was jk 🤭) and a whole lot of hurt/weird yoongi feelings sooooo yes. she fucked up and went aggro on him 😭 but i promise they're gonna work it out ❤️‍🩹
omggggg the favorite chapter so far?!?!?! gahhhh what an honor 🙇‍♀️ i was super scared about posting bc 1. this chapter is fucking THICC lol and 2. it's got so much to it! so many changes!! shit is ramping UP!!!! so it means so much to know you really enjoyed it 🥺 eeeee i love you so much jaz i'm so glad you're enjoying this wild ride!!!

Hi hiiiiii first off, heck yeah Shoko supremacy 🙏
Second, I absolutely love your blong and your stories (unsurprisingly I came from ao3)!! Admittedly I avoid Gojo fics like the plague (we love characters fannon self so much) but yours got me hypnotised WILD. I can’t tell it enough but oh my god the way you put rip!MC and Gojo together is top tier, I think it’s the only way I can picture him falling in love at all, (mostly bcs I genuinely believe that Gojo wouldn’t be able to love anyone romantically unless they were there during his HS days). I don’t think it’s only him, you write Suguru’s character so beautifully it’s entrancing! In general you handle the whole universe so well, I feel like you have it down to a T
I’m also a big fan of your writing style, as it’s very comfortable to read as it’s not too much but still very much impactful when it needs to. It doesn’t stretch out too much, it’s not too short, it’s the perfect pace and that makes it so, as I said, comfortable.
(As a non-American, the fact that your fics are way less americanised than the standard is so fucking refreshing too. Shout out to 18 YO White Frat Boy Gojo who knows how to drive✌️)
Coming here to discover that you a) love Gojo slander as much as me b) critics everything c) love languages and know Japanese was the Cherry on top. I cannot explain it goodly enough so I won’t but it’s a relief in many ways !! (The “Anime characters aren’t white unless stated so” in ur byf,,,, the mandatory “here’s why Gojo would be a Terrible Partner” post,,,,,, Please let me hold your hands as I ugly sobs of relief)
I saw your post abt usps and im sending you all my thoughts, prayers, mental support with that mess, I hope there’s a quick way to resolve it. Hope your time in Cuba will be good too, will you still be on tumblr while there?
Sorry for this long ass text I hope you do not mind it too much 🙇‍♀️
Though a side note, your last post got me thinking….. Terrified of finding out how ppl will treat Riko after animated gojo’s past arc comes out
omg don't apologize i ♥️ long messages
this message is so sweet you are so sweet!!! i'm glad u like my fics and writing style thank YOU for reading <3
i honestly think gojo could fall in love as a closed off adult i was just just too lazy to write that out so i took a shortcut lmao it also helps that ripmc has seen gojo at his most horrible (high school) and his lowest so there's no need for pretenses or anything atp
that being said my schedule on this blog honestly varies. hopefully i'll be able to keep a better schedule than just going silent for months at a time and randomly coming back LOL
wait ur so right i saw a tiktok of that panel where gojo is holding riko in his arms and THE RIKO SLANDER IN THE COMMENTS

Host Club🍹| Hakkitober #3
Synopsis: The Hakkafe has fallen into hard times 😔
AN: I will admit right here and now that I am NOT knowledgeable in the topic of host clubs. I did a bit of research, but I can’t garuntee that this will be accurately and sincerely apologize in a advance 🙇‍♀️. And while I do know OHSHC, it’s also very small. Additionally, this really isn’t my best work (imo) as I technically left this open ended. Think of it more like a prologue of a dating sim of some sort where you select which route you wanna choose. THIS CAN ALSO BE READ AS PLATONIC AS WELL! Thank you for reading!
—-
“HAKKITOS!!!” Hakka cried out, causing the flock of birds within the guild meeting room to bring their eyes up to their leader.
“LISTEN UP!!! WE HAVE BAD NEWS!!!”
In a instant, panicked glances, whispers, and shouts filled the room.
“What’s going on?!?”
“BAD NEWS?!? OH NO!!”
“Please sir, spare us!!! DONT SEND US TO THE BLENDER!!!”
“Fuck- aight who left out our realistic props again?”
“WHATEVER HAPPENS, WE’RE WITH YOU!!!”
“HAKKITOS! HAKKITOS!! ORDER IN THE COURT!” Hakka cried out once more, shaking his hands around as the noise began to die down.
As a smug smile appears on his face for his loyal birds, he faked a cough and put on his serious voice.
“Hakkitos…” The man started “we are currently going through a tough time. I was told by the other boys that the Hakkafe is slowly down in its popularity and money. If we don’t fix this by the end of this month, we are in BIG trouble!”
Lots is whispers scattered around the room, discussing about the matter privately with their fellow bird workers. And far out of earshot where Hakka could hear them. One Hakkito leaned to another.
“Shit, we’re not gonna get paid…”
In response, their co-worker squints their eyes as they returned the look as they furrows their eyebrows, and strains their mouth.
“THAT BOI NEVER EVEN PAID US SINCE LAST MONTH WDYM?!?”
“…according to the reviews of the Hakkafe that I gathered,” Hakka waves a couple papers in his corrupted hand, as he paces back in forth. “We apparently aren’t doing enough to keep up the customers’ excitement during events. We need to come up with new ideas! NEW EVENTS!”
“Fortunately, our fellow guild members gave me some great ideas on how to make the customers Hakkafe experience better! In fact, the first Hakkafe event will start soon within this week!”
Many cheers roared throughout the room, smiling birds gracing the room with joy and relief.
“So?! What’s the idea, boss?”
“Why my Hakkitos," Hakka bends down and gives one a head pat. "We are planning our first event to be: A Host Club!”
.・゜゜・  ・゜゜・..·:*¨¨* ≈☆≈ *¨¨*:·  ・゜゜・..・゜゜・  ・゜゜・.
“Here we are…”
There, in the middle of the glimmering stars and bright moon, stands the Hakkafe. The Hakkafe - usually closed around this time - emitted a soft pink and rosy lights from the windows. Some chatter is heard as well as clashes of plates, furniture and glasses being moved around.
Walking on over, you took a look at your pamphlet once more in your hand.
HAKKAFE EVENT: HOST CLUB HAVE YOU 🫵 YES YOU - RIGHT THERE - WANT TO EXPERIENCE A NIGHT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET?! WITH A SENSE OF PASSION AND FUN?!? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER!! WITH THE HELP OF OUR SPONSORS, THE GUILD TEMPUS AND THE HAKKAFE PRESENT TO YOU A LIMITED TIME OFFER! ENJOY THE NIGHT WITH US AT THE HAKKAFE!! Any monster attacks, or any attacks of any kind are on the staff and customers will not be tolerated. More Terms and Conditions apply.
As you looked up as you were drawing close to the entrance, there was a man standing near the door talking to a little purple bird on a barrel. His hair is long and grey, reaching his mid-back. He wore a grey striped shirt with black pants and vest with gold accents.
The bird noticed you, pointing their wing over at you to the man. The man, pulling up the rear end of his glasses, looks over and sends out a smile.
“Oh, Ricrowdo! Quick, go on tell him that there’s another customer coming and prepare the table!” The man ushered, shooing his hands as Ricrowdo - the purple bird - jumped off a barrel. As you see Ricrowdo fly away and through the door, the man turns to you as reached the entrance.
“Hello!”
“Hi there!”
“You here for the Host Club Event?” The man asked, noticing your pamphlet. You shot a quick glance at it before meeting his purple eyes.
“Yeah! Who wouldn’t miss such an opportunity?” You replied as you brought it up, with the man nodding along with you. “And you are?”
“Vesper Noir, Scholar of Tempus!”
Your eyes widen up in shock.
“You’re Vesper?! I heard you and Magni were off an a expedition- What are you doing here?”
“Oh that,” Vesper mentioned, scratching the back of his neck. “The boys needed a bit of extra help. Me and Dez are going there by the time the event’s done!”
“Besides, some other members of the guild and people we know decided to take over me and Dez’s expedition while we help out here!”
“Ahem!”
The two of you jumped at the sound, revealing a blonde man in purple attire. The blonde in purple has their back leaned on the door - which is opened; showing a bit of the inside of the Hakkafe.
“Speaking of which, hey Dez!”
“Hey,” Magni yawned and stretched his arms a bit. “Dude, it’s so hectic today… I’m so worn out. It’s a good thing that it’s break time for me-”
“Wait wait,” You brought your hands, and looked at Magni, “Look, I’m glad you’re going to go relax after a shift! Especially since you and everyone is working hard! But who’s-”
You felt a little bit of weight on your head. Your eyes went straight up and see the same purple bird from earlier, sitting snuggly on you.
“Me! Your table is #8; 4th table on the right!”
You nodded. You took a few steps in through the doorframe, only to have a hand on your shoulder. You turned your back, to see Magni. Behind him, Vesper.
“Hey, can you promise us something?”
You turn to face them.
“Yeah?” You answered, “What’s up?”
Both guild members looked at each other, then back at you.
“I know we say this to every customer,” Vesper started, staring directly at you in the eyes. “But, this is still an important promise.”
He took a breath.
“Promise us that you will take care of the boys! All of them!”
You paused, taking in mind of this promise.
“Yeah, please do!” Magni added in, “We know that we’re supposed to be entertaining everyone. At the end of the day though, we’re all people with feelings too! Everyone, like you said, worked really hard! Especially considering the circumstances…”
“Sorry for not being there...” Vesper apologized, bowing his head a little. “But the least that we can do is hope that both you, the guests, and boys have a fun time!”
You didn’t say anything. You simply said the words with a small, yet unnoticeable smile on your face: “I promise!”
Vesper and Magni shot a smile back.
“Then enjoy…?”
“[Your Name]!” You introduced yourself. “[Y/N’s] my name!”
“Well then, enjoy yourself [Y/N]! Don’t you or the boys get into anything too crazy!”
“Yeah, not without us!”
You laughed, right before waving the two goodbye as you entered into the Hakkafe. Inside, is hectic - in a good way!
A lot of people were chattering, drinking, dining amongst themselves. Hakkafe servers were either bringing orders or busy making them. There seems to be a bartender coaching a Hakkito on recreating a particular drink. Some were even singing (drunk or not) songs with such joy and passion. You even took some quick glances at some well-dressed people - assuming to be the hosts/boys the two were talking about earlier - interacting happily with the guests.
As you arrived at your table, you sat down and grabbed the menu right in front of you. It has the title, “HOST MENU” on it.
Your eyes wander around, only to widen in surprise on how high the quality looks. Your eyes stopped at one to take in the details before going onto the next.
✨Regis Altare - The Prince Charming✨ “The hero to your heart!”
Simple, sweet, and matches the theme for his host persona! And by the looks of it, Altare dresses the theme too! Reminiscent of a winter prince straight out of a fairytale, Altare wears a white suit, with both light and dark blue accents.
“Wow!” You mused, eyeing the details of Altare’s illustration. “This looks amazing! You all really did put a lot of effort into this!”
Ricrowdo nodded, and fluttered off your head. Landing on the table, he pointed at the menu.
“The host menus’ are also refrigerated! Anyone who is on shift has their magnet on! Pretty genius am I right?”
That is pretty smart… You thought. You then wondered if the employee putting all the magnets on the host menus had fun with that job. Wait… how much money was spent to make these?! Your pamphlet did say that this event is sponsored, so supposedly the sponsors agreed to the refrigerated menus… Still though-
Shaking your head, you took a look at the other magnets. Next magnet has a man wearing black suit with orange and red accents. There also seems to be a key chain on him. He has his hands in his pockets as he flash a cheeky grin at you.
✨Axel Syrios - Childhood Best Friend✨ “Yo, it’s me! Been a while since we hanged out! Why don’t we grab a drink and catch up?”
Huh, that’s more casual than Altare’s tagline. The difference in their host appearance, taglines, and vibes they give off.
“I’m gonna let you know in advance,” Ricrowdo chimes in, breaking up your though process, “This guy is pretty unhinged.”
You raise an eyebrow.
“Isn’t everyone in the guild unhinged?” You questioned. Hearing a lot of stories of the guild and their unhinged shenanigans aren’t uncommon. And like among most of the population, you aren’t that fazed by it.
“Heh, touché!”
On the 3rd magnet, there is a man in purple, like Magni. However, he has pink and blue in their suit. All asymmetrical, yet makes the suit work. He points to you, glowing with enthusiasm and determination.
✨Gavis Bettel - The Comedy King✨ “WATCH THIS! This is going to be-”
“Are you going to…?”
“Nah! That’s all of it!” Ricrowdo waves off with a wing, “That’s intentional on his part. He told us to read it like that.”
“It is?” You were surprised, though considering that there is little context of the line, you were intrigued by what happened next.
The next boy had sported a red suit with a angry face with a slight blush. His arms were also crossed as he looks slightly at you.
✨Machina x Flayon - Bratty Tsundere✨ “Y-YOU HATE ME!”
“HUH?!”
You, admittedly, were taken aback at what he chose as his tagline. Laughing at your reaction, You shot a glare to Ricrowdo.
“What?! You got to admit that’s a pretty good line! Matches up with his host title!”
You rolled your eyes and sighed. As much as you hate to admit it, it fits… in a way. But hey, maybe you can take him! Perhaps the inner wit, pettiness and drive deep down to challenge him for a little fun.
This young man wears purple, just like the previous too. Unlike them, his color schemes include black, gold, and white. He also wears a low ponytail, and faces you flirtatiously with a lavender rose in his mouth.
✨Banzoin Hakka - The Charmer ✨ “The cutest and coolest, at your service!”
“Hey, that’s my creator!” The bird chirped, making happy little hops. The corners of your lips lifted up as you see the little guy danced. Having sparkles in his eyes like a child seeing their parent or their favorite tv character.
It’s quite nice to know that the Hakkafe manager and founder himself joined in on all the fun! Plus, he’s multi-tasking; checking up on all the customers during the host club event while kicking back and having fun! A huge win-win for him!
On the last magnet, another man in a black suit appears. His dual colours are orange and turquoise. The man looks with you with a serene look on his face. He holds a cup in his left hand, with the other on his hip.
✨Josuji Shinri - The Modest✨ | “Hey, it’s beautiful out here tonight; want to grab a drink while we stay up and chat?”
“Shinri and the Koillective really are a sweet bunch! Comfy and cozy vibes guaranteed no matter how afraid you are!” Ricrowdo remarks proudly before smirking, “Though the Kois do look rather puntable-”
“What?”
His eyes averted yours as changes the topic.
“Anyways, that’s all the boys that are on shift right now! Take your time to choose your host!”
After a moment of thinking, you lowered down your menu card and looked at Ricrowdo.
“So?” Ricrowdo asked, eyes sparkling. “Have you decided yet?”
“Yeah,” you leaned back, pointing to a particular boy. “I choose-”
—————-
DUN DUN DUN! Who will you choose as your host, dear reader?
Thank you for reading this fic! Like I said before, I tried researching a bit, and decided to make this open-ended (?) near the ending! I wanted to make you make your own choice! I mean, it is your visit after all!
Also, constructive criticism is allowed (as well with my other works)! And any information regarding host clubs that I miswrote are welcome too! Especially since this is my first work with a 2nd person perspective!
Bonus Question: Which title should Magni & Vesper in the menu? You can include any other members in Holostars too (even the alumni!)

BLCD Review: Given vol. 4
Tumblr media
Title: Given (ギヴン)
Release Date: 2018/11/22
Author/Artist: Kizu Natsuki
Cast:
Furukawa Makoto + Saitou Souma
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hamano Daiki Hino Satoshi x Takumi Yasuaki 
Tamaru Atsushi
Hamano Daiki
Synopsis: Adaptation of volume 4.
Review Proper
I’m angry.
Like, really angry.
But before we delve into the reason why, let me just elaborate on what I’ve said in my previous post. I’ve had this since the 25th of November but I haven’t had the balls to listen to this until a few days ago but I decided last minute that I wanted to listen to it while reading the manga. I had to look for the English trans and the raws since the English trans only went up to Track 20 and the CD went up to Track 21. It was taking a lot of time since nothing was loading because of my shit internet and I was like: fuck it, I’ll just go listen to some other stuff first. (Hear about my regrets about the BLCD log I’ve made in my next review).
Anyway, I’ve been such a good little trooper in keeping myself away from spoilers for Given as I was with 3 so I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started 4. NOBODY SPOIL ME ON THE EVENTS AFTER 21 IN THE REPLIES PLEASE. If my opinions about them or the characters are wrong then allow me to sort that out myself when I’m ready. I knew that Gusari was gonna fuck me up all over again but no amount of preparation could ever prepare me for the kizu Kizu Natsuki had in store for me.
I started off pretty calm, though I was a little apprehensive on seeing Ugetsu from the get go (I’ll explain why later). But then fast forward a few pages later and I realize that my boy Haruki was never informed of Ugetsu’s existence??? 
Tumblr media
I calmed myself down and I thought that it was just probably for comedic relief and that he’d just brush it off ‘cause it seemed to me that the focus was going to be Uenoyama’s jealousy - well, at least that was true for the first one and a half Tracks (sans Akihiko and Ugetsu’s backstory which I will discuss in a bit). I’m really, really, glad that Mafuyu and Uenoyama’s relationship is going in a rather mature direction because I had initially thought that they were just going to stroll along a path of hearts and rainbows. Gusari slapping us with the reality that they’re both going to deal with Mafuyu’s traumas is very well appreciated. 🙇‍♀️ Mafuyu, for me, often comes off quite expressionless so seeing him worried and raw made him seem more human. I was swooning and was choking up when Uenoyama’s mature but silly ass took his man in his arms and apologized. 😭😭😭 And thus, balance has been restored to this couple’s lives again - thank you, Captain Communication!
I was having a little party in my head after those pages but then:
Tumblr media
BOY WE BEEN KNEW.
I-I was about to feel happy, sensei? W-why would you do this? I’ve done a lot of bad things in my life but, there are just some things in this world that I dare say that I don’t deserve happening to me.
And one of them is this.
Tumblr media
NO SHIT, SON.
And just when Take-chan has finally made his appearance, Gusari decides to send my world crashing down. 😩 But I think that Take-chan taking Haruki in his own band sounds like a better idea but him taking Haruki into his arms is the best tbh 😏 . Yo, I felt so bad for Haruki (not because of Akihiko, we’ll discuss that later) and I was so worried that he’d get depressed and overthink his worth in the band making him leave eventually because of just how out-of-reach his band members seem to be. I had initially thought that the main reason he was stressin’ out when he walked in on Mafuyu and Uenoyama working on the new song was that he was starting to feel like he doesn’t want to be in the band anymore. When you’ve nothing but achievers for friends, you’d get this feeling often so I understand. 😩 But surprisingly enough, Haruki doesn’t completely think like that. Given the chance, he would’ve probably been able to tell them that he was thinking of playing support for his ex-gf’s band for a while for change of pace and that in itself would be an indication that he wasn’t just going to up an leave on them. DON’T SPOIL ME IF HE HAS ALREADY LEFT. 
So now at this point of Track 19, I was thinking that the following events might just be about Haruki trying to keep up with his mates and maybe even battling his insecurity BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tumblr media
I like this particular screenshot because I basically screamed those words at the end out loud during this scene.
*inhale* *exhale*
On the scale of 1 to Akihiko, just how much of an asshole is Akihiko? Wait. That’s wrong, he’s a top so he’s not an asshole - he’s a dick. Oh boohoo, you have a sad past. That’s not an excuse for playing around with another person’s feelings! And neither is it a reason for assaulting them! I just hate how he knows about Haruki’s feelings and uses it against him like Haruki owes him his life. 🙄 I actually liked Akihiko in the first two volumes and there was a part of me that wanted him to choose Haruki in the end during volume 3 but, this bitch honestly should just delete himself out of Haruki’s life??? Why does Haruki have to be just an “option”? We’re not playing basketball so why the hell are you asking him to get the rebound? I legit shed a tear when Haruki ran out. 🔪🔪🔪 I know that it’s going to be unlikely but, Haruki needs to get him out of his hair (and he actually tries by chopping it off). That don’t work son, I tried. 😭 Haru needs a boyfriend from the “get you a man” category. Like Yukitaka - WRONG HARU WRONG HARU. IF YOU CAN SPLIT MIDOTAKA UP THEN YOU CAN MAKE HARU FIND ANOTHER MAN, GUSARI. 
Man, I know some people are gonna come for me after this but, I just don’t like Ugetsu. I didn’t really care for Ugetsu that much in vol. 3 and my frustration was more directed at Akihiko then. After listening and reading 4, I can’t say that I’ve now seen him in a better light now that I’ve learned a little more about him and his background. He has a sad backstory too but as with Akihiko, it’s not an excuse for him to be half-assed about everything. He’s basically just leading Akihiko on and that in turn makes Akihiko lead Haruki on and yous know how I feel about people messing with my child. 🔪🔪🔪 I absolutely hate their relationship. Normally my sadistic ass would jump straight in when I see a pool of toxic relationships (sometimes I cannonball it even) but, theirs is literally one of the worst I’ve seen in a work that I truly loved. I feel like that Ugetsu’s not going to be able to get himself another man if they really do break up for good in the future (I hope the same’s true with Akihiko) or it’ll take some time before he opens his heart up again in the least. We’re probably going to see him fall apart when he realizes that *sigh* Akihiko’s warming up to Haruki and that’ll probably prompt him to rethink his priorities (it may have already started don’t spoil me pls).
WHOO! I can’t believe I managed to sum the plot up into just a few paragraphs and gifs. AM I BLIND? Anyway, I’ve nothing much to say about the technicalities since they pretty much did a fantastic job and everything went by the manga (there weren’t really a lot of adlibs and cuts as with the previous volumes). The voice acting was great! Ya’ll should know by know how I’ve kept close tabs on Furukawa Makoto and Saitou Souma this year and I actually had forgotten how they sounded in Given because of how different their later works were from this but, I quickly adjusted. I had associated Mafuyu with Saitou Souma for the longest time but ever since I started watching Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-san that changed. I was really worried about hearing Honda-san instead of Mafuyu but I’m glad to find that Mafuyu’s still the Mafuyu I knew. 😌 Hino Satoshi and Takumi Yasuaki have nothing else lined up prior to Given 4 except for the other Given CDs (Hino Satoshi will star as Keiichi-san in Motoyan Papa to Hitsuji-sensei which will be released on the 22nd of this month) so I’ve no trouble in recognizing their Given voices. 
It just always needs to be a ride with you, Gusari. 😩 Thank god that I was alone at home because I was just so angry that I needed to pace around the house multiple times screaming and threatening my credit card to take me back to Japan just to look Gusari in the eye and ask: “WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?” and cry. Definitely give this a listen if you’re a fan of the series and pain. 👍 Oh and just know that I’m giving out tissues and pitchforks if anyone be needing them.
