Rohan Kishibe Falling for an Assistant!Reader
↳ Reader’s gender is not defined/is gender neutral. Reader is in college and not a stand user.
A/n: ‘roHan KisHibE wOuLd nEveR hiRe an asSissTant-‘ Rohan Kishibe loses in fights against teenagers. He’s been famous since the age of sixteen; there’s no way he can even do the dishes properly.
Warning(s): Swearing.
Tumblr media
Rohan Kishibe began the process of finding a personal assistant not a year after Yoshikage Kira’s death.
Not too long before, the idea of hiring an assistant was one the mangaka would openly mock. Him? Needing assistance? Not a chance. His work ethic is unreal; able to disregard what other artists would consider as valuable help. The Great Rohan Kishibe works solo at every opportunity and everyone ought to know it.
Although his reputation to many of the people around him can be rocky, one would be hard pressed to find anyone with the opinion that he needed an assistant at all.
However, the kind of aid he sought was, for lack of a better term, a glorified maid.
The Kishibe resident itself is big enough to comfortably home a family of five, and Rohan famously lives by himself. And completing tasks associated with home ownership had always been a big pain in the ass to the artist. Too much of his time was wasted on ‘unnecessary’ trivials (things others would describe as regular adult responsibilities).
Not only does he lose precious work time to maintaining a house, but also to grocery shopping, sending messages to his editors, and even cooking.
In short, he independently searched for someone to take care of his home and busybody tasks on the regular. Releasing an ad, he felt confident that he’d find someone. Even if the job itself turns a handful away, a generous payload would be sure to entice a fair amount of people.
Trudging through resume after resume, interview after interview, Rohan eventually came across you.
A young college student, taking a small yet steady stream of classes. Your resume was average to many your age, but stood out to him for other reasons. Namely, your application was well-written and to the point (something he had increased appreciation for at that stage in the interviewing process). Not only that, but the specific experiences you have had in the workforce was good insensitive as well. The final nail in the coffin was a general feeling of honesty pooling from your written words. Judging by how it was written, he could sense genuine realness. In short, you didn’t bullshit.
Amidst your educational endeavors, you searched tirelessly for a stable income. Spotting Kishibe’s ad, you resolved it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot. And as fate would have it, you were contacted in order to set up an interview.
Unsure of what to expect, you dressed yourself up and swallowed your nerves. The interview itself was to take place at a tiny coffee shop in Morioh Cho and you were thankful for the short trip.
Meeting one another at the agreed time, Rohan’s character quickly confused the hell out of you (as much as it was intriguing). He’s certainly the type to leave a lasting first impression, while seeming careless to your own thoughts on him.
It was intimidating, overwhelming, and admirable all at once.
Also, he made it clear his work’s extremely important to him, the sole reason behind why he searched for help in the first place. More time to work; more time to dig for inspiration.
His dedication is what truly sold you, finding it weirdly motivating. Within just fifteen minutes of speaking to him, you’d forgotten that he’s only a year or two older than yourself.
That was, until the interview went on longer and he let it slip that certain worries plague him. Especially between chapter releases. The prospect almost made you sad; both his ego and anxiety possibly due to being a well-renown artist from a relatively young age.
Your personal response to the questions plaguing your brain was to disregard them, and instead focus on an expectant Kishibe. His eyes were sharp, looking down at you and impatiently awaiting a response to a question you completely missed.
You didn’t need to hear the exact words, though. Smiling sheepishly, you reached out your hand and shook his own. In the back of your mind, it was assumed any answers to your questions would eventually arrive one way or another.
They were bound to, considering Rohan Kishibe was- from that moment onward -officially your boss.
And to say it was a rough start for the both of you would’ve been an understatement.
Initially, you were a little shy about making any more assumptions or even observations. Hell, you were shy in general. Adjusting to the new job became a top priority over any curiosity about your peculiar boss. But when working with a man like Rohan Kishibe, it’s difficult not to hang over his every last word despite yourself.
However, time brings with it familiarity. Not only with a usual work routine, but with Rohan himself. His initial sternness made meeting his expectations all the more satisfying. Without a doubt, you were proud of how quick you got into the swing of things.
He prioritized quietness and swiftness, but was also surprisingly fair. Even after accustoming to the work environment, he always comments on a job well done.
Except for when he’s deeply invested in his work. To you, it’s difficult to tell if he even notices your presence upon entering the art room. However, it’s not as if you slipped into the background, but he simply grew used to you being there on occasion.
Months passed. You grew to have less and less questions about a man you no longer called Mr. Kishibe, but instead by his first name.
The two of you don’t necessarily need to speak in order to be communicative. You’re at a point in your relationship now where you found reading into his actions to be surprisingly easy.
That’s an aspect he certainly wasn’t expecting either, not used to such things.
Just the smallest shift of his facial expression- just a lift of a brow -and your eyes light up with understanding. Sure, he can ‘read others like a book,’ but you’ve seemingly mastered the language of Rohan Kishibe’s demeanor without any stand power.
Then he notices that you’ve started doting on him. An extra selection of sugar with his morning tea. Always taking an enthusiastic intrest whenever he shares his art. And a specific kind of contentment or pride you put into your work that he honestly would have never foreseen.
For the longest time, he was adamant that he wouldn’t use his stand to peak at your past and present. His power had grown considerably, and became more selective of who he investigates. However, his curiosity overcomes a sense of restraint on his own abilities.
He couldn’t help but take a peak. Besides, he could find something usual for his writing. Regardless of whether or not he did, he found something else as well. Written in on your second page, his name was the most recent in a list of people you harbor (or have harbored) feelings for.
Rohan can move on after that. No problem. It wasn’t the first time he’s found his own name written down in someone’s book as a crush. It’s nothing to pester you about; nothing to even ponder. Nope. Just go back to work. Not a hint of romance is going to suddenly appear in his manga (it’s psychological horror, why would it be?) out of thin air.
A week passes. Two weeks pass. He’s become a little more silent as of late, but it’s nothing you care to mention at all. Rohan gets absorbed in his work often, and you figure you’ll get the chance to ask him about his work a later time.
Your patience is respectable; it’s downright endearing. But the lack of investigation on your part made his teeth grind together in frustration.
He doesn’t think of you that much. Not really; don’t flatter yourself. His mind just lingers on your memory when you leave. Rohan’s thoughts merely turn to you when introducing a noticeably beautiful character in Pink Dark Boy. And it’s nothing special that he gets agitated when he doesn’t see you for a few days.
While you put him out of your mind (the thought of him is far too flustering), Rohan’s lingers on your more and more. The glances he throws at you dwadle, observant in the way you’ve been for months.
Standing in the front hall of Rohan’s home, your body is leaning against the wall while you pull your shoes on. The sun hangs low in the sky, kissing the horizon line. A pinkish blush spreads across Morioh Cho, dusk signaling the end of your work day. While making your effort, footsteps travel from the top floor and down the stairs.
Lifting your head, a smile spreads across your face when meeting your boss’s gaze. He’s made his way to the bottom of the stairs, stopping a comfortable distance in front of you. “Taking a break?” you ask gently.
“For a short while,” he confirms, before adding in a mumble, “Although I know you’d lecture me about working late.”
“You said it, not me,” you jest, straightening your back upright after slipping on your shoes. You fold your hands behind you, long coat softly swaying as you momentarily rock back and forth on your feet.
“Only so you don’t say it yourself.” Rohan crosses his arms, shifting his weight onto his right foot.
“Because you prefer the sound of your own voice?”
Rohan opens his mouth, only to close it anticlimactically a moment later. His brows furrow, and eyes dart away from your person. Biting the inside of his cheek puffs out his lips subtly.
It’s times like this that you wished you were the artist. He’s so insistent on capturing reality, in all it’s forms. But he’d be your muse of choice. Yet he neglects that he’s a work of art himself, you mentally note with an audible giggle.
Rohan’s demeanor changes, his pondering expression morphing into a curious one. It merely strengthens your smile.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Rohan,” you finally speak.
“Yes, of course,” he replies dismissively, as if it was redundant of you to mention.
Chuckling once more, you move forward. The mangaka’s breathing catches in his throat when you wrap your arms around him, and forehead collides with his chest. The hug is short, but noticeably warm.
You pull away far too quickly, waving him ‘goodbye’ and going on about buying him a St. Gentleman’s sandwich for lunch the following day while walking out the door. Rohan merely nods, watching the front door delicately shut behind you.
He’s stunned. Unmoving in his spot, only his eyes blink dumbfoundedly. Is he really going to head upstairs like nothing happened? Even now? Just continue working a few more hours of the night away? Maybe he should mull you over in his mind for a moment or two. Maybe for a couple of minutes. The way he’s starting to feel around you may not be a problem, but it certainly is something isn’t it?
He bites his lower lip, silently cursing your name. He attempts to ward away the rising heat on his cheeks with a shake of his head. For once, he’s glad he cannot use his stand to read his own mind. Because even without such ability, he has no doubt it would clearly state that The Great Rohan Kishibe has grown much to close to his assistant.

Thoughts on Strohiem? (From Jojo)
It’s… rough. I have OPINIONS ABOUT HIM.
Tumblr media
For those unaware, or have forgotten. This particular ask is about the character of Rudol von Stroheim from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. A Nazi Major that is introduced in Part 2 of the series. I have always wanted a proper moment to spotlight how much I dislike this character. And not just how I dislike him as a character, but how I dislike his general inclusion in the story as well.
Listen, I LOVE this series. But even I have my limits. It’s because I love it so much that I critique aspects like this in the first place.
Warning, I’m about to word vomit about this because I’ve been DYING to talk about this somewhere.
BIG DISCLAIMER: These are my thoughts and mine alone. I know there’s a lot of… interesting anime fans out there that might disagree. I’m not here to debate on stuff like this, I don’t want to hear your contradictory thoughts on the subject. If I see a single person say I’m “virtue signaling” by saying I don’t like the Jojo Nazi character, I am going to mail you a pipe bomb (in the hit game Minecraft for Windows PCs)
Stroheim’s existence (or at least, how he currently exists in the story) is not handled all that well in my opinion. Like… not at all. I like to poke fun at it, but I genuinely think Araki fumbled the bag so hard with Stroheim and it's more and more unbelievable the more I think about it over time.
No matter how you shake it, Araki fully wrote a historically accurate Nazi character into Battle Tendency and proceeded to give him a redemption arc and make him a member of the supporting cast. Now of course, I know that Japan has a fascination with a lot of German stuff, so within that context I can kind of get why he exists in the way that he does, but it just feels weird and in bad taste.
Contextually, it makes sense. Do I like it? No. No I do not.
Tumblr media
To address the elephant in the room, I get it. Araki really loves to write evil villain characters, and then having them be redeemed, or switch over to the hero's side after a certain point. I actually really enjoy this trope especially in Jojo! It’s one of my favorites. Especially how it’s handled in Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable.
However, writing a redemption storyline for characters like Okuyasu and Rohan is fundamentally different from writing one for Stroheim.
First and most obviously, unlike other characters, Stroheim’s whole character is based on an actual real life totalitarian extremist hate group who committed horrible atrocities across history (and still does to this day).
As if that wasn’t enough, he quite LITERALLY commits horrible atrocities ON SCREEN. Sacrificing an entire room of innocent people to Santana (the first of the Pillar Men) so that the German’s can awaken and study him in their secret lab.
Tumblr media
Everything about Stroheim feels like it’s very intentional at the start. He is clearly set as a villain from the beginning, and it works fine. However once he self-immolates and blows himself up to destroy Santana, the story seems to continuously frame him more and more as an ally/hero from that point onward.
After he returns with his cyborg body, the fact that he’s a Nazi suddenly takes a back seat and now he’s continuously just framed as a “patriotic” soldier. Legit, the moment after he shows back up, Joseph internally comments on how he’s “not exactly a bad guy”.
Tumblr media
Some people will argue on how it’s a bit more complicated than that, since Joseph also thinks about how he dislikes that he’s a German Soldier. But directly after this, he also states how he’s still happy Stroheim isn’t dead. If anything, from this point onward Joseph acts towards Storheim in a similar way to how he acts towards Caeser. Even if they aren’t best friends, Joseph still has positive feelings towards Stroheim, and I hateeeee that.
In the anime, they even make sure to call him a “German Soldier” and not a Nazi. The avoidance of that word really struck me as them trying to avoid that subject because they knew the way the character was treated was strange.
So anyway, as I was trying to say. Redeeming villain characters is one thing, but redeeming a villain character that is straight up a literal Nazi is something else entirely. Especially when like, not to nitpick, but Stroheim never walks back the more extremist beliefs that he for sure subscribes to.
-And if you’re one of those weirdos who tries to make a point by saying “well, he never outright says what he actually believes in! Maybe he is just fighting for Germany for his own reasons.”
My dude, he’s literally described as a “Patrotic Nazi”. What the fuck do yoU THINK HE BELIEVES IN?
Also as a final addition to this rant, I also don’t quite like how weirdly normalized that Araki makes the existence of “german soldiers” in his story even outside of Stroheim. Nazi’s are weirdly commonplace throughout the plot, and while it contextually makes sense since they kicked off the main conflict, they are almost always weirdly painted as neutral or even straight up good guys (after the Santana fight). Which is just really strange to me.
Like bruh, you mean to tell me that Caeser fucking Zeppeli is casually frieNDS WITH ONE OF THEM? BE FUCKIN FR ARAKI LOL
Tumblr media
It also sucks how Stroheim is so increasingly present leading up to the final act. Like MAN, GET THIS MOTHERFUCKER OFF THE SCREEN.
The only good thing about the inclusion of Nazi’s after Stroheim’s initial sacrifice, is that we get to see the Pillar Man murk a shit ton of them on screen. Like, fuck yeah dude. A great way to power scale and show how powerful the Pillar Men are as antagonists, without me feeling bad that they killed a bunch of people to do so.
Tumblr media
Anyway, that’s my 2 cents that nobody asked for. I still LOVE Jojo, I think it’s a masterpiece of its genre, but it’s because of my intense love for it that I criticize it’s missteps so heavily. I hope that my wording on this post is done well, I had to re-draft it a second time after accidentally deleting it once, so I have a feeling it’ll come off a bit scrambled.
That being said, thanks for the Ask!

jjba (jotaro, kakyoin, avdol, josuke, rohan, giorno, bruno, abbacchio, trish, mista, narancia) + aesthetics you suggest/dress them in
images are from pinterest! 
Tumblr media
jotaro - techwear
✩ if you BEG you could get him to wear a techwear outfit that still maintains his love of gold brooches and chains. it’s not even that he doesn’t like the aesthetic it’s just kind of silly to him at first. sure he wears two belts, but two belts and a backpack on his chest and a smaller one on a thigh garter? um no. eventually caves when you show him something he finds really cool and man he has money. bad choice (or is it a great one?) he is fully committing elements of techwear into his every day outfits now. he’s dangerously hotter now too um
Tumblr media
kakyoin - goblin/cryptid core (with punk influence!) 
✩ is a very creative guy who has a unique style and he’ll use that to his advantage! this would begin with a date idea of designing shirts or jeans and he has so much fun. now he has several pairs of fun jeans and a patch jacket he’s working on. when he’s dressed up like he’s ready to explore the forest he’s in such a mood to! get ready to spend time in the woods watching hierophant poking bugs with sticks and kakyoin showing you different types of beetles while you look for cryptids with a nearly empty flashlight 
Tumblr media
avdol - bohemian/hippie 
✩ kind of related to his current style and that’s what he’s very willing to give it a try. loves the dramatic sleeves and ruffles, truly enjoying how snazzy they make him feel. also appreciates the jewelry! especially if you make it for him or buy it for him because it’ll remind him of you. loves fun patterns so he’ll enjoy combining them in unique ways, also appreciates the whimsical element of the layered fabric and prints 
Tumblr media
rohan - avant garde 
✩ craziest dude in the world I swear. will wear anything just about if you make it sound revolutionary. tell him a trash bag is the next-in fashion trend and he’ll disbelief you to no end but will secretly be curious and try it out. helps he has the confidence to rock anything he tries. to be fair, when you dress him up you’re doing it mainly to see if he looks good in everything and you’re sad to see he does, indeed, look good in absolutely anything 
Tumblr media
josuke - scene/punk
✩ loves the abrasive elements in punk! loves the colors and being able to make bracelets with you aspect of scenecore. in general he enjoys how he can look tough and intimidating but feels like the colorful accents really soften that depending on how much he accessorizes. doesn’t wear it too often though, really depends on where you two are heading. does let you dress him up fairly often though! 
Tumblr media
giorno - cottagecore
✩ isn’t entirely against or for trying it out. is kinda confused as to why you want him to. he’ll eventually say to go for it. depending on what you put him in he will really like the aesthetic and wear it on your dates around town. isn’t a big fan when you ask if he’ll wear a skirt, but when you actually order one he really enjoys the length and the twirl. when you go on a picnic and he wears it, he just feels like he’s safe with you and away from the trivial stresses of his outre life 
Tumblr media
bruno - coquette/angelcore
✩ like giorno, he isn’t for or against. leans to okay almost immediately however. he’s curious and very fluid with how he presents, so he’ll agree to just about anything within reason. when you dress him up he feels so ethereal. absolutely loves it? he likes how he’s wearing traditionally feminine garments but doesn’t feel effeminate. he enjoys the outfit and would likely wear it again, especially on a date with you 
Tumblr media
abbacchio - goth 
✩ doesn’t want you to for a while despite sharing things with the style already. just feeling a bit prideful. does cave and let you do him up completely, probably because he had a drink. ABSOLUTELY loves the result however. the drama of the sleeves and the flair of his pant’s make him look so long and slender, like a real life dracula. finds the chains excessive but misses the significant effect they had when he was wearing them. definitely enjoyed trad goth makeup more than he’s willing to admit 
Tumblr media
narancia - bubblegum b✩tch 
✩ likes it because he feels tall and assertive with the big boots on. will not wear it out of the house unless you’re really good at convincing him. doesn’t have the toughest skin so this does help him build his confidence and self-esteem even outside of his appearance. just feels so adorable, especially with you hyping him out. if he does agree to going out you’ll wear a super feminine outfit too or a suit, confusing traditional mindsets while having a super fun date 
Tumblr media
mista - rockstar 
✩ really gets into his role when those skin tight pants are on. if you go out for dinner he’ll act like he’s the most important man ever and it surprisingly works. he will make use of the leather jacket you got him and would ask you to decorate it if that’s something you’re interested in. will wear elements of the outfit separately somewhat often but the entire outfit probably just on certain dates 
Tumblr media
trish - indie
✩ loves lots of patterns so she appreciates the wiggle room of indie! she already has an impeccable sense of style but this is her go to when she’s heading out to museums, picnics, etc. trish always adds her unique flair to her outfits, often making edits to her shirts and skirts

Josuke Higashitaka x NB!reader
Tumblr media
Summary: After you spent a lot of time with Josuke, you start to fall in love with him. Only one problem. Your brother happens to be Rohan Kishibe. 
Pairing: Josuke Higashitaka x Non-binary reader
Words: 2.7K
Requested: No, just something I wrote in my free time. 
Warning: None
-------------------------
You had known about Josuke ever since he came to the rescue of his friends Koichi and Okuyasu. After the whole ordeal was over, you wanted your brother to apologize to them all, but he, of course, refused to do so. You decided to take matters into your own hands.
After apologizing to Koichi and Okuyasu, you asked them for Josuke's address, which they gave you after asking several questions.
You decided to go and buy some snacks. You looked at the piece of paper with Josuke's address on it, thinking about if this was a good idea.
You finally spotted the house and walked up to the door, and rang the doorbell. You heard muffled shouting from the inside before the door opened. Now you stood face-to-face with Josuke Higashitaka.
"Are you Josuke Higashitaka?" You asked him.
"Eh, um. yes, Who are you?" He asked you.
"Oh, sorry, I'm y/n Kishibe, Rohan's sister." You introduced yourself.
"S-Sister! What are you doing here?" He seemed surprised.
"I came here to apologize for my brother since he's too stuck-up to do it himself." You explained. Josuke stared at you, shocked, still not believing what he just heard.
"Are you okay?" You asked him.
"Eh? Oh, yeah, I guess. I'm just shocked to know Rohan has a sister." Josuke rubbed his neck and looked away.
"Yeah, he doesn't talk about me a whole lot." You told him.
"Josuke! Who's at the door?" You heard a voice from inside the house. Then a dark-haired woman poked her head out to see.
"My, Josuke, why didn't you tell me you had a friend come over. Come on. I'll make some tea/coffee." Before you could protest, she was already gone.
"That was my mother. She always gets excited when friends come over," Josuke explained to you.
"Oh, I don't want to intrude too much." You said.
"You're not intruding. Come on in." Josuke smiled and stepped aside.
"Thanks for having me." You said and took off your shoes. Josuke showed you to the kitchen, where his mother was.
"Oh yeah, I brought some snacks as an apology." You said and gave the bag to Josuke.
"You shouldn't have to apologize. Josuke, what did you do to this poor girl!" His mother piped up.
"Wha-" Clearly, Jsouke was taken aback.
"Josuke didn't do anything. It was my brother. I just came to apologize on his behalf." You explained to his mother.
"Oh, well, good to know Josuke didn't do anything. He is an idiot sometimes." She told you.
"Oi!" Josuke said.
You three sat down and started drinking some tea/coffee. Josuke's mother seemed to like chatting with you. She told you stories about Josuke from when he was younger. You guys talked and ate the snacks you had brought with you.
At one point, the phone rang, and Tomoko got up to answer it. Josuke leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh.
"I swear, that woman." He said under his breath. You giggled.
"She seems nice." You said.
"That's because you're here." He sat up.
"She usually orders me around, especially when I'm playing video games."  He continued his rant.
"You play video games?" You asked.
"Yeah, I have a lot of them. Have you never played?" Josuke asked.
"I have, but it's always at someone else's house. My brother thinks it's a waste of time." You explained.
"I can show you some of my games. We can also play something if you want to." Josuke told you.
"Really? Then, let's do it." You smiled at him. Josuke led you to the living room and showed you his game collection. You ended up choosing his favorite game and showed you how to play.
Eventually, Tomoko ended the call and walked back into the kitchen but found both of you gone. She heard a commotion coming from the living room and walked over to check it out. Tomoko just sighed and smiled at the two of you and left you alone.
You two lost track of time, and you ended up staying longer than you had intended.
"I better get home before my brother sends out a whole search team for me." You said while putting on your shoes.
"Thank you for having me over." You thanked Josuke and his mother.
"Please come back anytime," Tomoko said and smiled at you.
"Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home?" Josuke asked you one more time.
"Thank you, Josuke, but I'll be fine. And I don't think my brother would like to see me with his enemy." You giggled a little. Josuke rubbed his neck and laughed with you.
"Well, thank you for today. I hope we can do it again." You smiled at him and, you thought you saw him blush a little.
"Y-Yeah, I hope so too." Josuke stuttered out.
"Bye-bye," you said and waved goodbye. Josuke waved back and stared at you until you were out of sight.
"They seem nice you better not hurt her." Josuke heard his mother say to him.
"I'm not going to hurt Them!" Josuke shouted at his mother while she just laughed.
You and Josuke kept hanging out, which was easy since you both went to the same school. You eventually met Koichi and Okuyasu officially after their fight with your brother.
They eventually also found out that you had a stand, which surprised them a bit but not too much since your brother had one.
Despite you guys hanging out a lot, you and Josuke always found time to hang out alone together. You weren't shocked when you discovered you had a crush on Josuke. Everything about him just made your heart skip a beat.
More often than not, you found yourself drawing or writing about him. Rohan would burn your sketchbook and everything else if he ever saw it. But you weren't the only one who felt like this.
Josuke had felt the same way about you. Even though you were Rohan's sibling, but you were nothing like him. The more you two hung out, the more he felt himself falling more in love with you.
Josuke had invited you over to play more video games, not knowing what Josuke had planned. You bought some snacks with you before went over to Josuke's.
You remember your brother asking you where you were going. You just told him you were hanging out with a friend from school, which wasn't a lie. He just looked at you and nodded. You had to be careful, or else your brother would use his stand on you.
After you made sure you had everything, you began walking towards Josuke's house.
You Rang the doorbell, and it didn't take long for Josuke to answer the door.
"You're here!" He smiled.
"And I brought snacks with me!" you said and walked inside. You greeted Tomoko before being dragged into the living room by an excited Josuke.
You let Josuke choose a game this time, and he took the time to show you how to play it. Once you got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. Josuke played while you watched and ate some snacks. You would sometimes grab a snack and give it to Josuke while he played.
You again grabbed a snack for Josuke and reached out and gave it to him. He ate it quickly and gently kissed your hand. His actions caught you by surprise and made you blush and smile a bit.
You two just sat in silence. You just watched Josuke play some more.  At one point, It got intense. Josuke was low on health, and you were sitting on the edge of your seat. Luckily, Josuke won. You cheered and hugged him tightly, but Josuke didn't expect that, so when you hugged him, you toppled over.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that." You apologized and started to get off of him, but a hand on your waist stopped you.
"It's okay. I kinda like this." Josuke smiled at you.
"Josuke." You looked into his gorgeous blue eyes. Josuke sat up while still holding on to you. He had both of his hands on your waist at this point. You two didn't say anything, just staring straight into each other's eyes.
Josuke began leaning in closer to which you did the same. You both closed your eyes, and soon you felt Josuke soft lips on your own.
You pulled back and felt your cheeks burning.
"You have soft lips." You blurted out.
"O-Oh, thank you." Josuke blushed when you told him.
"Aaahh! That's so embarrassing. Why did I say that" You covered your already burning face with your hands?
"y/n." You heard Josuke say your name. Just that could send shivers down your spine.
"Yes?" You peeked through your fingers.
"I like you. Dare I say I love you." You stared at him, shocked. You couldn't believe it your crush liked you back.
"I-I love you too, Josuke!" You stuttered out while looking down into your lap. You felt Josuke placed a finger under your chin and pushed it up so you would look into his eyes. He smiled at you and leaned in for another kiss. Which you gladly reciprocated.
Your lips met his again in a sweet kiss. You placed your hands on his neck and just relaxed into the kiss. You both pulled away this time, feeling the need for air filling you.
After Josuke got his breath back, he looked at you and smiled. You noticed Josuke smiling at you and smiled and began laughing a bit. Josuke was taken aback by this.
"Sorry. It's just the thought of what my brother would do if he saw us like this. I mean, his sister together and kissing his worst enemy. You giggled. Once you explained yourself, Josuke began laughing too. "*sigh* Yeah, I think that would piss him even more off." Josuke sighed and smiled.
"You know what would piss him even more off?" Josuke asked you, giving you his signature smirk.
"What?" You smiled at him.
"You being my significant other." Josuke smiled at you.
"Hm, That doesn't sound bad." You placed your index finger and thumb on your chin and made it look like you were thinking.
"For real?" Josuke asked, and you nodded.
"Yes!" Josuke shouted, and it startled you, so you fell out of his lap.
"Oh, sorry, I guess I got a little too excited," Josuke said and sat down beside you. You leaned your head on his shoulder, and you felt Josuke wrap his arm around your shoulders. You two sat there in silence, enjoying being with each other.
"We can't let Rohan know about us just yet." You said and looked at Josuke.
"Agreed, I don't want him on my tail any more than already." Josuke agreed with you.
"I saw how you beat the shit out of my brother before I think you'll manage," you told him.
"He was making fun of my hair!" Josuke told you, and you laughed.
"I know, I know, I saw it happen." You laughed.
"Well, at least you have someone to protect you," Josuke told you and squeezing your shoulders.
"Oh please, I can take care of myself." You crossed your arms.
"I know, but it never hurts to have back up." Josuke laughed.
"True, but the same thing goes for you. You got my back. I got yours." You told him. Josuke smiled and kissed your temple.
After some time just sitting and talking, you two decided to play some more before you had to return home.
After hours of gaming, you decided it was time to go home, even though you didn't want to.
"I wish you didn't have to go." You and Josuke stood outside saying your goodbyes.
"I wish I didn't have to either." You told him and look at him.
"I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow," Josuke said.
"Always, But remember to keep us a secret. I don't want the others to know about us yet. I know how you are sometimes." You smiled and took hold of his hand.
"I'll try, but I finally have the person of my dream. I can't promise I'll hold it in for long." He smiled and squeezed your hand.
"I'll see you tomorrow, lover boy." You leaned in and kissed his cheek. You began walking away but turned around and saw Josuke still standing there, but with the most love-sick smile, you've ever seen.
You giggled and began walking home.
TIME SKIP
You and Josuke were doing the best you could to hide your relationship from your brother and friends. There were times where you two were close to getting caught.
You had a feeling that your brother was getting suspicious of you because you, staying out late more and more. You just told him you got some cool friends to hang out with now.
Rohan never used Heavens Door on you because you were his sibling, and he respected you.
One day, you were sitting on the porch drawing. You weren't drawing anything in particular, just doodling or making small details on some previous creations.
"Hey y/n!" You heard someone shout your name. You looked up and saw Josuke smiling at you.
"Josuke! What are you doing here?" You said and closed your sketchbook and laid it on the table beside you.
"What are you drawing? More attractive sketches of me?" Josuke gave you his signature smirk.
"No, not this time. I wasn't drawing anything in particular, just doodling." You told him.
"I bet even your doodles are masterpieces," Josuke said and stepped closer.
"Oh, shush," you said and stood in front of him.
"Hi." Josuke smiled at you.
"Hi." You replied and smiled back at him. Josuke leaned in, and you knew what he wanted. So you leaned in too.
"Stay away from my sibling!" You heard a very familiar and angry shout from the window.
"Oh shi-" You heard Josuke say, and he took a step back. You heard running and knew Rohan was coming.
" let's go!" You shouted and grabbed Josuke's wrist, and you two began running.
"Y/N! Get back here!" You heard your brother after you two. You suddenly felt two muscular arms wrap around you and lift you. Before you knew it, Josuke had placed you over his shoulder and began running like hell away from your brother.
You looked at your brother as Josuke ran away from him.
"get back here, you two!" Your brother shouted after you.
After some time, you finally lost your brother. You and Josuke hid behind some bushes. Josuke was panting from running. You kind of felt bad.
"You know, You didn't have to carry me like that." You told him.
"But I had to save you from your insane brother," Josuke told you, and you nearly laughed when he said that.
"You know I can take care of myself, especially against my brother." You told him.
"I know, But I want to take care of you sometimes." Josuke looked at you with his face all flushed.
"You're an idiot, but I love you." You smiled at him. Josuke looked at you, shocked but collected himself and smiled at you.
You both looked into each other's eyes, but you couldn't hold back your laughter anymore. Josuke looked at you but soon began laughing himself. You laid down on the grass, and Josuke laid down beside you. Josuke wrapped his arm around you and pulled you closer to him.
"So, can I get my kiss now?" You looked at Josuke.
"What?" Josuke said, confused as to what you meant.
"Weren't you going to kiss me before my brother rudely interrupted us?" You asked, and Josuke laughed. He leaned down and kissed you right on the lips. You smiled into the kiss and wrapped your arms around his neck.
You felt Josuke pull away, and you looked into his gorgeous blue eyes.
"I don't care what your brother thinks of me. I will still love you," Josuke told you and smiled at you.
You looked at him and gave him the biggest smile before kissing him again.
" I love you, Josuke Higashitaka." You told him as you pulled away from the kiss.
"I love you more, y/n Kishibe," Josuke told you before pulling you into yet another kiss.

Ay sorry if im bothering, but what about a fic or just some hcs about the crusaders or the duwang gang and a gender neutral s/o who is like the "clown of the group" if you catch the meaning ( telling bad jokes, randomly annoying anyone because theyre bored or for attention y'know ) but they can also be serious if its necessary
( also i love your writing so much???? Theyre just so damn perfect???- they make me so happy when im having a crappy day so yee thanks :"))💕💗💖💗💖💗 ) greetings from Brazil! <3
(i have been doing the crusaders a lot recently so here are some duwang gangs with a clown s/o!)
♡ Josuke can absolutely rival you on the bad jokes; if you don’t laugh at them, he gets sad like a wounded puppy. He laughs at yours, too - the two of you are always wrapped up in each other, giggling about some plan or some in-joke that the other members of the gang would prefer not to understand. He gets a little bit frustrated about you wanting his attention - especially if he’s trying to do something like his hair! - but part of the reason he gets frustrated is that he does the exact same thing, and he doesn’t like getting a taste of his own medicine. He admires your ability to switch from serious to joking - he has a bad habit of cracking jokes even when he knows it’s not the time! As a whole, the two of you are rock-solid - and when Josuke feels embarrassed that he slips his hand into yours in public, a blush rising to his cheeks, you always manage to diffuse the situation with a well-timed quip.
♡ Okuyasu thinks you’re adorable. He laughs at your jokes no matter how bad they are; he’s just so earnestly in love with you that everything that comes out of your mouth sounds like gold to him. He doesn’t mind being annoyed; being poked in the chest or you surprising him to tell him a random fact. He’s kind of touch and attention-starved, so getting attention from someone he cares about makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside - and he knows he can be annoying too, when he really wants you to be spending time with him. He does occasionally have his own struggles, bouts of dark clouds hanging over his head - when these come, and he sees your normal light-hearted air vanish to comfort him, he feels safe and secure in knowing that the two of you were meant to find each other. When they’ve cleared a little, he’s grateful that you’re always able to make him smile again. 
♡ Koichi is the quieter of partners between you two. Compared to other members of the Duwang gang, he can seem boring - he can get a little lost. He’s polite and friendly, but often he feels that he fades into obscurity behind people like Josuke and Rohan. You never make him feel like that - when you tell him a joke, or demand his attention, your eyes on him make him feel like he’s the only important person in the world, and his heart feels like it swells. He likes your pinky finger wrapped around his as you share in in-jokes, as you talk on and on about your day - and when he responds with jokes of his own, he cherishes the wide smile that you give him and the peal of your laughter. 
♡ You and Rohan do not seem like a natural fit. He is so intense - very few people see him joke, despite the fact that Pink Dark Boy contains multitudes of clever writing and quips repeated regularly by fans and readers. He’s also easily annoyed and irritated - you would think, then, that your ability to push buttons and crack jokes and create puns so bad that everyone in the vicinity groans would be a hindrance to a man like Rohan Kishibe. As it turns out, though . . . Rohan is capable of affection. Rohan likes it when you make fun of him a little bit, because you have earned the right to do it (and he knows that you do not mean it for an instant). He likes raising his manicured eyebrows and sighing at you and correcting your wordplay to make it funnier, he likes how you keep all these silly jokes memorised - he likes that you want his attention. He likes that you’re unpredictable, that he can count on you to come along with whatever weird schemes he dreams up for manga research - he likes your hand in his. And he likes, too, that sometimes you go all-over quiet and serious and watch him work through the night, your very presence a comfort. 
♡ Everyone is very surprised by you and Jotaro being an item. Jotaro is so stoic, so stone-faced, so serious - it’s difficult to imagine you, with your quick smile and laughter and an ability to crack a joke or a bad pun without needing a moment to think about it, with him. But it turns out that it works well - your jokes make your boyfriend soften, and getting him to smile in public due to something you’ve said is a fun game that you play with yourself (and perhaps occasionally make bets with the other members of the gang for). The younger members see you both as parental figures; one serious, one more laidback, and they come to you both accordingly. When they don’t feel that they can go to Jotaro or speak to him, having you there helps them get their thoughts in order. When the two of you are alone, and you poke Jotaro’s stomach to get him to pay attention to you, he always heaves a long-suffering sigh, but he never fails to place a hand on your head and stroke through your hair, the gesture more loving and comforting than anything he could say.

Winter Winds--Chapter 1
Word Count: 4.4k
Warnings: none
Author’s Note: Contrary to the persona I've created, I also write for Lord of the Rings.
——————————————————————————
As much as Pippin loves Frodo, he’s about two minutes away from turning around and going back to Rivendell.
In Rivendell there was always a bowl of fruit nearby in case he became peckish. Elven music floated on the air, very different from the upbeat songs of the Shire but no less fun to listen to. He could wash his feet daily, sleep in a proper bed, and wake up to the promise that second breakfast would be just as large as first breakfast had been.
Here, even though the group is only a few miles from the edges of Rivendell, luxury (or even simple cleanliness, Pippin could argue) is nothing more than a whisper on the biting wind.
It’s not that Hobbits are adverse to traveling in the wilderness, or hesitate to get their feet a bit muddy. Pippin has fond memories of him and Merry traversing Hobbiton and the Shire, splashing through creeks and crawling into gnarled root balls to escape the wrath of those they had played (harmless) pranks on, particularly Farmer Maggot.
In fact, on any other day Pippin would have enjoyed traveling outdoors with his newfound companions. Gandalf holds good conversation if one is willing and able to work through his riddles. Gimli the Dwarf is a bit intimidating, but Pippin can tell his heart is in the right place. He’s mostly left Legolas alone because Sam is already bombarding him with questions of Elvish culture, and he has enough tact to know that one curious Hobbit is enough. The woman from Rohan, Harwyn, is funny, and she and Boromir can send creative insults back and forth for hours. There’s always Merry and Frodo to talk to and reminisce with by the fire, if he’s feeling a bit lonely, and Boromir seems to have made it his personal responsibility to watch over him and Merry, keeping them warm during the night and even attempting to teach them basic defense.
It’s hilarious to watch Boromir train Merry, especially since the former hasn’t realized his protégé is left-handed, and said protégé doesn’t seem in any hurry to correct his mentor’s assumption.
Finally, there’s Strider. Why and how the Ranger found them in Bree Pippin still doesn’t quite know (he’s pretty sure those questions were answered at that Elvish council he and Merry unsuccessfully tried to sneak into), but he’s proven his trustworthiness. Strider is an honest man, if not a mysterious one. He certainly knows how to stay alive in the wilderness, and seems to recognize exactly where they are within the neverending landscape of short brushland and scattered pockets of trees.
Pippin has faith that Strider will lead them well, if there ever comes a time when Gandalf wanders off, and he is wont to do, and doesn’t return for some time. Strider is confident, strong, and—
Gone.
Pippin stops his meandering thoughts, immediately halting. Merry, who is walking next to him, slows also.
“Anything the matter, Pippin?” he asks, concerned. No one else hears him, continuing to trudge southward. Hobbit voices are easily lost on the wind, Pippin is learning, so it makes sense that no one stops.
“Where did—?” Pippin starts, turning in place and feeling foolish when he sees Strider behind him, about fifty paces away, crouched and looking at something in the loose dirt.
“He’s been doing that,” Merry says, thankfully not poking fun at his friend’s misplaced panic. “Ever since we left Rivendell. Stops every so often, looks at something on the ground, then calls like a bird.”
“What sort of bird?” Pippin asks.
Merry shrugs. “Nothing I’ve ever heard. Sam might know, but he’s busy talking to the Elf.”
Strider brushes past them. His travel-worn cloak whips around his ankles. He smirks slightly at their puzzled expressions, gesturing for them to catch up to the group, and Pippin wonders how much of his and Merry’s conversation he heard.
——————————————————————————
For the rest of the afternoon, instead of counting foxholes, Pippin counts how many times Strider stops. Interestingly, he doesn’t always look at the dirt. Occasionally he runs his calloused fingers along the bark of a lone tree, or stares off into the west.
By nightfall the curiosity is eating at him more than his own hunger (and that’s saying a lot, as the group refused to stop for afternoon snacks), and he desperately wonders what Strider is searching for. Perhaps he’s tracking a terrible beast. Gimli does say that Goblins and Trolls sometimes wander down from the peaks of the Misty Mountains.
Pippin frowns. From Bilbo’s stories all those years ago, Trolls seem to make a great mess wherever they go, crashing through the trees and tearing up entire bushes for the sport of it. What Strider is looking for is much more subtle. Goblins are certainly cunning enough to sneak about, but surely someone else would have noticed by now if they were being followed by them. Sam’s pony Bill, for one, is acutely aware of who is a friend and who is a foe.
The fire cracks at his feet. Harwyn teaches Legolas some phrases in the language of her country while Gimli drifts off. Sam has somehow been pulled away from the Elf’s side, and is resting next to Frodo and Merry, blushing at their good-natured teasing of his obvious crush on one Rosie Cotton. Boromir’s belongings are stacked to one side but the man himself is missing at the moment (he remembers Boromir saying something about relieving himself), and Strider and Gandalf are sitting on a nearby protruding stone, talking quietly.
Merry offers him a mug, calling his name and gesturing for him to join their little huddle. He takes it without peeking at its contents, but relishes its warmth. Nothing really tastes like anything when all Pippin can think about is Strider’s odd behavior.
“Strider,” Pippin begins cautiously. Both the Ranger and the Wizard look up, and Pippin swallows nervously. “Is everything alright?”
The man frowns. “Yes, unless you’ve noticed something.”
Pippin almost says something about the stopping, and the dirt and the trees, and the bird calls, but he stops himself. Strider can have his secrets. It’s not his place to reveal them.
“Nothing,” he hears himself say. “I haven’t noticed anything. Just making sure is all.”
——————————————————————————
Pippin wakes with a start, a cold burst of wind rushing over his face like a bucket of icy water. The wind has assaulted his blankets, exposing his feet to the cold, and no matter how much he wraps them up they remain resolutely freezing.
Of all the things Hobbits don’t like, cold feet is high on the list, and Pippin is no exception. He draws his feet into the blankets, cringing when his frozen toes brush against his leg.
All thoughts of comfortable sleep have been driven from his mind, thanks to the wind, so Pippin stands, deciding to sit by the fire until he warms. The flames have been kept alive and strong, oddly enough, but right now he doesn’t really care. If it’ll warm his feet, he’ll happily pledge loyalty to the blaze for the rest of his days.
Yes, that is what he’ll do. Maybe he’ll drag his bedroll over to the fire, so he can stay warm even in slumber.
Rubbing his eyes, he freezes.
There are two Striders sitting by the fire, keeping watch.
He backs up, frightened, wondering if he should yell or run or grab his sword and charge, but he steps on a dried leaf that crumples noisily and the two figures turn to face him.
The one that Pippin decides isn’t Strider, but a pseudo-Strider, turns to real-Strider and says something in what sounds like Elvish. Real-Strider grins.
“Come, Pippin,” real-Strider says. “Warm yourself.”
Slowly, he edges toward the fire. Pseudo-Strider and real-Strider are very similar: light skin, dark hair, and a willowy build. But edging closer now to pseudo-Strider, he can see that there are some differences between them. Pseudo-Strider has longer hair, and sharper cheekbones.
And pseudo-Strider is a woman.
“I am Ealawen,” pseudo-Strider says. “I have been following you for a day.”
There’s a hint of an accent, much like what real-Strider has. It must be the Elvish that influences her Westron. Ealawen stands, and Pippin recognizes her cloak. It’s similar to Strider’s. Maybe it is Strider’s.
It occurs to Pippin that maybe Strider wasn’t tracking a beast, but a fellow Ranger.
“Come by the fire, little Hobbit,” Ealawen continues. “The winter winds are hostile, especially when they know who is traveling their roads.”
Strangely, the term of endearment doesn’t annoy him like it would if someone else had given it. He creeps toward the blaze, still cautious, and real-Strider chuckles, loosely holding his smoking pipe.
“I don’t mean to be rude, Miss Ealawen,” Pippin says, remembering his manners but settling down so real-Strider is between him and the stranger. “But who exactly are you?”
“A friend,” the woman replies mysteriously, and Pippin wonders if it’s a requirement of a Ranger to be annoyingly vague. “I wish only to explain myself once. You are not the only one who does not know of me.”
Pippin says nothing more, but the two Rangers continue to talk softly as if he hadn’t interrupted them at all. They don’t ask for his opinions on things, which is good because he doesn’t understand much of what they’re talking about in the first place, and soon Pippin finds his head bobbing tiredly. His feet are warm now, and his exhaustion has returned. As his eyes slip closed, a heavy cloak is thrown over his small body, and he sighs into its warmth. The cloak smells of fire smoke and wet leaves, and reminds him of the Shire.
——————————————————————————
A sharp prod jolts him into awareness. Merry stands over him, grinning.
“Morning,” he greets, pushing a plate into his hands. “Sam found some winter berries and Legolas shot a hare for us. Sam cooked it up nice and it goes wonderfully with the dried fruits from Rivendell. Frodo got the best bits, though, but it’s good enough to have something warm. There was frost in the night, you know!”
Pippin blinks. Merry’s words aren’t making much sense. It’s too early for complete sentences.
“And whose cloak is that?” Merry continues, speaking entirely too fast. “Doesn’t look like one of yours. It’s much too large for a Hobbit anyway.” Pippin looks at the heavy fabric that’s enveloping his body. It’s deep green and a little worn, but kept him plenty warm during the night. Strangely, a silver brooch in the shape of a rayed star is pinned along the collar, looking much too ornate for a cloak as simple as the one around him.
He’s never seen Strider in anything other than black and as much as the others like him, Pippin doesn’t think they would sacrifice their own warmth for his own, so the cloak must belong to Strider’s friend, the mysterious female Ranger. He turns toward the log she had been resting on.
Both she and Strider are missing. A scan of the nearby surroundings shows that they truly are gone, and Pippin wonders if he imagined last night’s entire encounter with the female Ranger, in some strange cold-induced hallucination.
But he still has what he assumes is her cloak.
“I met someone last night,” Pippin says suddenly, wanting to get this secret off of his conscience. Strider may be able to keep secrets, but Pippin certainly cannot. “A female Ranger, I think. She didn’t say much.”
“Is that who Strider was looking for yesterday?” Merry asks in quiet excitement, scooting closer to him.
Pippin nods. “She’s the owner of this cloak,” he whispers. “I don’t know where she’s gone, though.”
“Probably with Strider. He’s gone too.”
Gimli’s surprised shout draws both his and Merry’s attention, however, and Pippin doesn’t get the chance to tell his friend anything else about his odd encounter. The pair stand, looking to the Dwarf, who lunges for his axe leaning against a nearby rock.
In front of him stands Strider. Ealawen is next to him. If the pair had looked similar in the night, the day highlights their differences.
Ealawen’s hair is longer and straighter than Strider’s, and is loose, whereas before it had been pulled back in a simple braid in the light of the night fire. She’s clad in a plain loose shirt tucked into tight brown pants, with short brown boots on her feet. Standing next to Strider, she’s only a few inches shorter than him but still plenty tall. Probably the same height as Legolas.
A half-full quiver of arrows rests on her back, and a short hunting bow is in her hand. What seems to be most concerning, however, is the gleaming sword on her hip. It seems that every pair of eyes is looking at the threatening weapon. Boromir, standing close by him and Merry, has his hand on the hilt of his own sword, as does Harwyn. Legolas, perched up behind him and many heads above him, on a rocky foot of the upshooting mountains, studies her closely, but seems to pick up something that the others don’t and quickly lowers his bow, hopping down lightly and with all the poise of his Elven heritage.
“Aragorn!” Gimli shouts, breaking the tense silence. “There’s two of you!”
“No, Master Dwarf,” Strider says calmly, raising his hands in a placating gesture. “I am myself, and this is Ealawen. She is a Ranger and an ally.”
“Is that so?” the Dwarf challenges, hoisting his axe threateningly. “There are no female Rangers, lass. How did you find us?”
“I swear on my sword that I am a Ranger, Dwarf,” Ealawen says. There’s a hint of challenge in her otherwise light tone. “Dwarrowdams are rare, but that does not mean they do not exist.”
Gimli, if possible, grows angrier. “Dams have nothing to do with daughters of Men!” he spits.
“I am not a daughter of Men,” Ealawen replies forcefully. “I descend from the Dúnedain of Númenor and it is my duty as a Dúnedan and a Ranger to defend the western peoples from the beasts of the Wilderland.”
“Why do you think we haven’t seen any sign of Goblins or Trolls, Gimli?” Strider asks. “Ealawen keeps the mountains clean, from the south point of Rivendell to the Glanduin.”
“I will vouch for her!” Pippin says loudly, drawing attention away from the two Rangers. He makes his way toward the two, clutching the heavy cloak.
“Pippin!” Boromir hisses, but he ignores him.
“This is yours, miss,” he says once he’s picked his way over the protruding toes of the Misty Mountains. Ealawen smiles lightly and with some sadness, taking her cloak from his hands. Strider’s dark eyes study him.
Merry appears behind him. “Meriadoc Brandybuck,” he announces, bowing. “At your service.” He smirks mischievously. “Call me Merry, though. And you’ve already met Pippin.”
Pippin feels his face warm as Ealawen nods.
“Yes, I have met this little Hobbit,” she says, swinging her cloak over her shoulders and clasping it with the brooch. Her sword becomes hidden by the fabric, and the tension in the company lessens.
“Prepare to move,” Strider says, stepping away. He’s finished studying his intentions, Pippin guesses, and is now slipping into the role of leader, since Gandalf has wandered off again.
“We can’t just trust the lady because a foolish Hobbit gained her favor!” Gimli shouts, and he grunts when Legolas smacks the back of his head. The Elf comes forward, and Pippin’s guess is confirmed: they are within millimeters of each other’s height.
“Hobbits are exceptionally intuitive, Master Dwarf,” Ealawen says, grinning and mirroring Legloas’ special Elven-style greeting. “It would be wise to trust their instincts.”
“Introductions can be performed on the road!” Strider yells over his shoulder, and Ealawen laughs. It’s a pretty sound.
She shepherds the Hobbits to their packs and kneels, helping Merry with his twisted strap.
“How did you find us, miss?” Sam asks, hovering anxiously by his own pack. He’s standing in front of Frodo, shielding him from what could easily become a threat.
“Aragorn, or Strider as you know him, followed my signs, Samwise,” Ealawen says after a moment, looking strangely at Sam’s protective stance. “It is my duty to guide you through my territory. I can lead you as far as the Glanduin, which is still many leagues south.”
Boromir stomps by. He gives Ealawen a withering glare as he passes.
“Don’t mind him, miss,” Pippin says, giving her a toothy grin. “I don’t think he much likes strangers.”
“Or Rangers!” Merry chips in.
“Or women,” he adds, nodding.
“My old Gaffer said that refusing help is a folly, regardless of its gender,” Sam adds, warming to Ealawen when she shoots him a sly wink. “And even though we’ve only known you a bit, you seem genuine enough to trust your help.”
——————————————————————————
The day crawls by with the pace of a limp garden snail. Ealawen spends most of her time next to Strider at the front of the group, speaking accented Westron. Pippin guesses they’re catching each other up on recent occurrences. Life as a solitary Ranger means news is often months old, and Pippin catches a few familiar phrases about events as far back as Bilbo’s 111th birthday party.
During the midday meal Gimli slides up to the female Ranger with a gruff apology. Ealawen accepts it with a nod, then asks him of his weapon preferences, and the name of his axe. There’s no other way to get a Dwarf to open up as quick as asking them about their weapons, Pippin thinks, when Gimli enthusiastically launches into the tale of his father joining the Company of Thorin Oakenshield himself on a quest to reclaim Erebor, and passing down his trusty battle axe when Gimli came of age, training him personally on the finer details of beheading enemies. Any remaining tension between the pair melts away as Ealawen listens intently, even though Pippin knows that she already knows the story of Thorin’s Company, as she and Strider had mentioned Thorin and his queen Branna a few times during their lengthy discussion the previous night.
Gandalf reappears soon after, simply saying “Ealawen,” nodding, and continuing on.
Boromir is the only member of the Fellowship still cautious of the woman but he attempts to remain cordial all the same. He offers her an apple, one of the last pieces of fresh fruit from Rivendell, but other than that small interaction he largely ignores her, speaking to her only when spoken to first and sitting on the opposite edge of their little circle. But there is a little tension—the Man of Gondor had very nearly ripped Pippin’s arm out its socket pulling him down to sit next to him, and shoots Ealawen a challenging look when it’s his cloak wrapped around his and Merry’s shoulders to fight the nippy wind, rather than hers.
Ealawen doesn’t seem bothered and stands to speak with Strider and Gandalf, occasionally pointing and gesturing to the south or east. Minutes later, the group is moving once more.
While Sam is interested in Elves and has once again adhered himself to Legolas’ side, much to the Elf’s amusement, Frodo asks quietly if Ealawen would talk of the Dúnedain.
“Would you also like to hear, little Hobbit?” she asks, and Pippin nods. Merry joins as well.
“All true Dúnedain come from the island of Númenor, to the far west,” Ealawen begins, looking wistfully onto the winter-withered shrubland. “Our ancestors, the Númenoreans, left their sinking island to come to Eriador under the rule and guidance of Elendil. We are in the easternmost part of Eriador, for reference,” she grins, eyes sparkling. Then she grows somber once more.
“The Númenoreans split into two groups, those in the north in the kingdom of Arnor and those in the south, in Gondor. Both prospered together for a time, but plagues from the east hit the north harder. The two kingdoms were separated fully after Elendil’s death and evil beings attacked the north. We were dispersed. Our kingdom was destroyed.” Ealawen smiles sadly.
“Some of the northern Dúnedain became Rangers of the North, like Aragorn and myself. They worked to keep peace in the lands. Others retreated to the Angle south of Rivendell, while a few went to the western edge of Eriador.
“The Dúnedain of Gondor intermarried with lesser Men. Their lifespans shortened. They became weaker. Today only a few pockets remain, and even then their bloodlines are tainted.
“It is a glorious history,” Ealawen says, “but it is also a sad one. The time of the Dúnedain is waning, I fear. Those in the north are scattered, while those in the south have lost their bloodlines. Like Dwarves, there are more males than females, and at times it seems easier to let go of our heritage than to fight for it.”
“What if there was someone to lead the Dúnedain, like Elendil had?” Frodo asks slowly. “What if someone could reunite the two groups?”
“Many would answer the summons,” Ealawen muses, staring at Strider’s back as if knowing something special about her fellow Ranger. “And many others would not. We all walk on the ruins of kingdoms who believed in their immortality. To attempt to preserve our rule is a decision we all must make.”
“Wait a moment,” Merry interrupts. “You said the northern Dúnedain work to keep the peace.” He waits for Ealawen’s nod before continuing. “And if you all pick an area of land to protect from the Wilderland, as you call it, why haven’t we seen any others?”
“The Dúnedain do not influence the lives of those they protect,” Ealawen answers, and Pippin really wonders if she took riddling-lessons from Gandalf. “Very rarely do we reveal ourselves to outsiders.”
“So you’ve been watching the Shire all this time, then? And Bree? And the Brandywine and Weathertop and all of the lands in between?” he asks.
Ealawen smiles slightly. “You are very perceptive, little Hobbit,” she says quietly, almost sadly. “It is no wonder you noticed Strider’s calling for me.”
Before he or the others can ask any more questions, she ruffles his hair and falls back, walking next to Legolas, whose keen eyes are the last of the Company. He nods to her in greeting, and the two speak softly, occasionally pointing at a clump of twisted trees, or the imposing ridge of the Misty Mountains.
“I like her,” Merry says, sounding more cheerful than usual. “She’s a bit sad and her name has too many vowels in it, but I like her all the same.”
——————————————————————————
Three uneventful days pass. Pippin doesn’t take watch. Even though Hobbits have excellent vision, he’s easily distracted. He may be foolish but he knows enough to recognize that him watching the night is about as helpful as putting up no watch at all.
Ealawen has as much stamina as Legolas and for two straight days Pippin doesn’t ever see her sleep. Maybe she does fall into slumber in the darkest hours, settling down next to Strider after tucking her own cloak snugly around him and Merry, who have taken to sharing a blanket and bedrolls to keep warm, but even if she doesn’t, Ealawen is as sharp as ever, and no sign of exhaustion mars her pale features.
On the third night Legolas and Gimli take watch, freeing Ealawen to sit around the fire for leisure rather than duty. Her body looks tired, however attentive her eyes may be, and Pippin drags Merry off to bother Boromir instead of Ealawen, giving her a half hour’s silence with Strider instead of a half hour’s entertaining two young Hobbits.
Boromir is glad to hone their sword-fighting skills, however dismal they are at the moment, and laughs for the first time since Ealawen’s appearance. Pippin makes a note to spend more time with the Man of Gondor, both to give Ealawen peace and raise Boromir’s spirits.
But by the time Sam and Frodo rescue him and Merry from Boromir’s intense training, calling for supper, Pippin wants nothing more than to be rid of the man’s face for at least a week. Merry looks about how he feels and collapses onto his half-fixed bedroll with a groan, bypassing food entirely.
“Might be about time to reveal your handedness, Merry,” Pippin grins, wincing when he reaches for his bowl and feels his arm protest the stretch.
Supper is venison, shot clean dead by Ealawen and Legolas hours earlier when they had first stopped and made camp. She had made quick work of the carcass, and Pippin decides that venison isn’t all that bad, although he still prefers good home-cooked Shire food.
When he’s finished his third helping (the buck had been impressively large) and feels a little more alive, he sets his bowl down for cleaning up later and makes to go sit by Ealawen. She’s had enough of a break from his company, he thinks, and he’s become quite attached to her.
But Ealawen isn’t to be found. Panic seizes him until he realizes all her belongings are nearby, so she hasn’t left forever, but that doesn’t stop Strider from noticing his impatient twitching.
“She’s gone off to store the skin somewhere she can find it later,” he explains, not unkindly and gesturing broadly to the east. “And she took her sword. She’s been feeling the same tension Legolas has, and believes a host of Trolls have crested the mountains. But do not worry, Pippin,” Strider adds, watching his face morph into panic once more. “Ealawen has been defending these lands for years. Even a quest of such import as this will not stop her from her duty.”
“Indeed,” Gandalf chuckles. “If ever the lady returns you must thank her profusely, Peregrin Took, for she is the reason you have been allowed to live such a comfortable existence in the Shire for all these years. She fights Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, and the occasional Spider that dares venture this far west, to the ignorance of those she protects.”
If Gandalf’s words are meant to be a comfort, Pippin thinks there’s a better way of going about it, and the Hobbit falls asleep cold and worried, Ealawen’s cloak around her shoulders rather than his feet.

• TALIA NASCIMENTO•
IG info/bio: @/callmetalia333 | 524k followers | Journalist | TALIA. but u may have formerly known me as user: brdf0rdsvasquiff—rip!!!1! so don’t even think about it 😌
(23) 25 going on (26) years of age
I’ve read a canon that her name is just Talia and not short for anything & I agree with that + she’s always quick to correct someone if they get it wrong too
Her hometown is Watford, England
but she was originally born in Maidenhead in the backseat of a car during a severe rainstorm
Nonetheless watford taught her all she needed to know when it came to music
She found her first love when she heard the sound of music soundtrack for the v first time as a young girl but is often nervous to admit that?
her father is Brazilian and is a firefighter
her mother is Bulgarian and works as a secretary in a elementary school
her mother is more traditional than her father when it comes to their cultures
I originally felt like she gave only child vibes but I can deff see her giving off big sis energy since she did mention she has a younger brother
V protective over her little brother
there’s a three year age difference
her parents have separated multiple times before which caused a riff in the family dynamic
The constant coming and going from her dad became quite irritating
And Talia was the most vocal by wanting them to figure it out and NOT get a divorce
Which led to talia’s commitment issues when it came to relationships herself
was born with blue eyes yet they shifted to brown once she grew
“Tom-boy” growing up & still is
netball was her sport and man was it something to see her play?! She was quick on her feet and can definitely shoot far-range with ease
Always down for contact sports too
She lost count how many bruises and scrapes she would come home with much to her mother’s horror but she would always brush it off—it was never that big of a deal to her
yet she takes time in healing her scars with homemade treatments or purchases from beauty stores when she wants to show her legs off
she didn’t get into “girly” wear until recently, she never thought too much of her body or when she started to get curves...she always hid that behind big tee’s, fitted jeans, and kicks—that’s what she was used to
she’s got broad shoulders and toned arms
had thick bushy brows that almost formed a uni brow growing up
her mother used to have her hair always plaited since she is very superstitious, believing that “the devil lives in the woman’s hair”
yet talia’s hair texture was much different than her mother’s, maybe due to the fact that her mother always had her hair up and out of the way? Talia’s hair is much bigger, heavier, and naturally curly
+ her mother used to say some harsh things in Bulgarian about her hair — that says a lot when you’re taught to hate your hair trust!!!
when she got a little older and able to manage her own hair + afford it, She learned how to love it herself and that’s all that mattered. Her hair became v important to her, it was her source of comfort
that’s the only thing she’s high maintenance about tbh
she spends a lot of money on her hair but devacurl can still piss off
diffusing is one of her fav things to do to her hair—besides washing it, and deep conditioning, after a night of letting her hair air-dry
loves rose jam
has a embroidery machine, along with a collection of her work but only one piece is showcased in her flat. She didn’t want her place to look completely like her bába’s (Bulgarian: grandmother)
her closet is filled with many Havaianas, they’re all piled up in a wicker basket and ready to tumble over on her top shelf... if she moves one of the ceramic pots her mother left in her flat for luck, that whole shelf might come crashing down
Swears drinking guaraná the next morning cures any hangover you may have
commonly sleeps in big t-shirts and panties or not or booty shorts depending on her time of the month—it’s freeing to her
Has torn her achilles due to whatever contact sport she decided to join in on during a beach vacation with her mates
has a touch of arthritis in her shoulder
this is where her love for massages came from due to injuries she’s faced
+ It’s always a good sign when you can make someone else feel better ya know?
She’s been told she’s great with her hands ;) it all takes practice
bi mami *cringe* but she likes what she likes, and feels what she feels
she kinda has a type but doesn’t want to admit that
her mother doesn’t understand this but her father easily accepted her preference/orientation
her little brother was the first she came out to, “alright!...you still suck”
always wants to fix situations WHEN it comes to HER friends but is oblivious when it’s come to her own issues whether its in relationships/friendships +
was called out by one of her friends who she often argues/butts heads with from time to time “you’re always sticking your nose in people’s business but can’t solve your own shit!”
maybe it’s the journalist in her? she’s not afraid to ask questions or look at things from a outside perspective
her group of friends are all from different ethnic backgrounds to Indian to Ethiopian
has been in and out of relationships...maybe had one stable relationship? Outside of mc but that relationship failed after a year and she feels it has something to do with her parents and how she watched their relationship unfold but won’t openly admit that
Doesn’t like to argue in relationships and often is a little undermining with how she responses to her partner’s feelings...she’s trying to be better at being understanding and listening, her mother is like this with her father
Aquarius girl + Scorpio moon + Taurus rising
loves the water + watching water sports rather than playing them since she almost drowned once by letting her confidence get the best of her
used to be a directioner and isn’t ashamed to admit that!
take me home album stan 100% bitch there’s no point in arguing!!! Buh bye!!!
She is ashamed however to admit that she used to write for them, mostly ziam fics with a touch of Harry thrown in the mix as well...take that how u will
has a few merch pieces as well, they’re mostly loungewear + that powdery perfume they dropped. YES she still has it, no she won’t sell it to u
still supports them on the low since you know, she’s a music journalist and reviewing songs is what she makes a living for so why the hell not? They will always hold a special place in her heart. She grew with those boys
she’s not in denial like Hannah that they’re get back together
If someone wants her to film a reaction vid to zayn’s new album or release a written review? She WILL. Her top 3? 1. When loves around ft Syd 2. Outside 3. Unfuckwitable
If someone wants to hear her thoughts on Harry’s mv’s + breaking down his lyrics, she’ll tell you what you NEED to know whether U agree or not she don’t give a damn lol
Can throw hands and stomp a bitch out if she needs too. Has gotten kicked out of clubs/bars for defending her friends mainly not because someone chatted shit to her, that’s whatever but once you cross her friends? It’s on
Allegra got lucky 🦶🏼☕️ and Lucy
remained super close with jake and tim as expected...Rohan’s cool too ofc! but she’s not here for their rapping shit sorry. She’ll hit them both with a quick side eye and snarl if they start or if jake wants to recite some poetry. She’s outta here
Talia hardly had issues making friends easily with the boys it was always harder with the girls :/
they hang out all the time!
she actually became close with sammi as well, which was nice to have another girl friend around even tho they weren’t together in the house long like the others. She’s spontaneous, cute, resourceful, and kind so talia had no issue reaching out to her first to see what she was about outside of the show
don’t even ask her about what she thinks of the new seasons, she’s not here to chat shit and have her words twisted like she’s watched many of the cast deal with. If you want to talk about the over kill use of pop as the soundtrack for each season, then yeah she’ll talk to you about that
doesn’t use social media much, she finds it funny how whenever she does pop back in people are begging her to post SOMETHING so that they know that she’s alive
Pretty private
she also can’t grasp why they want her to do the bussit challenge? Lmao like hey don’t get her wrong, some of them were pretty great but she’s barely got a bum to bounce and little booties matter ofc!!! but she can’t see herself doing it unless she’s drunk off her arse!!!
maybe mc can convince her...for the fans duh!!! “Give the ppl what they want! Talia! It’s not like you won’t be around music!” “I’ll think about it...nah.”
she’s been busier since the show, able to tour more and WRITE which is what she loves to do
Her secret pleasure is watching those nurse shows and firefighting shows in her free time and those singing shows you already know that’s a given
Wanted to be some form of a nurse growing up but knew she could help people in another way
*inserts* “music Is The best Medicine” overused but true quote here!!
I feel like she’s a r&b lover
listens to those hour long rain sounds on YouTube to help herself fall asleep
she‘s not the best cook but she’s a foodie and she’s down to try new food always
occasionally her and Tim are jake’s Guinea pigs when he’s whipping something up for his menu 
and hates eating the same things all the time unless it’s breakfast! There’s not too much more you can do with that
that’s also her specialty, making breakfast for u in bed
Morning afters with her are intimate but humorous. She’ll poke fun if you’re both looking crazy, always joking and in the best mood whether things got physical or not she’s just happy to have you here 🥲
I think her love language is quality time
if you’re playing her route and Lucy is the ex, and you’ve decided to fully commit to each other I deff see Lucy still trying to pull some shit outside of the show just because she feels like she can but once Talia see’s that it’s really starting to get to you despite how much you try to brush it off or snap at Lucy or even Talia!!! Talia is on Lucy’s ass in seconds! She doesn’t need a ex to ruin her possible future , “you’re not gonna fuck up this good thing I’ve got just cause you’re flimsy at relationships babe, so go be a cunt somewhere else or you’ll be sorry. I promise.”
anthem: Snow Tha Product — Shut up

how would your ideal LI season go?
oooh thank you anon this was really fun and definitely too long and entirely unrealistic because of all the variables but oh well i had fun lmao
Okay I’m just going to start by talking about LIs
I think one of Season 3’s biggest successes was making AJ available from the start, I think that definitely kept those who play for the girls interested
HOWEVER i also think we need one of each: an AJ, a Talia, and a Marisol
Someone you can couple up with right off the bat, someone that takes a bit of time to warm up, maybe around the halfway mark, and someone that isn’t available til the last or second to last recoupling, maybe because they’re only bicurious or its just in their character to take a while to warm up in general, they spent the season in friendship couples or blowing their shot because they didn’t want to move too quick
I know the amount of LIs in Season 2 is a huge attraction, but it obviously wasn’t maintainable, since so many LIs lost their personality after CA
Again, I think Season 3 did great on ideas, but bad execution on drama and actual plot
So I’d probably keep it about 9, maybe 10
And ideally one of them would be trans, probably a trans guy with top surgery scars. Someone makes a joke on the first day and he explains no problem, is open about it and his experiences, maybe he was kicked out as a teenager and is all about positivity and loving people for who they are because of it
I’m all on board for a enby or gnc character or MC, but I honestly think Love Island’s too binary for someone like that to thrive
OH! And an ace LI that’s probably sex neutral and really comfortable with it. They’re up front with their sexuality but have no problem with how sex-focused Love Island is, like they’re fine with the flirting and intimate stuff, they’re just not attracted at the end of the day
Or have this season’s slowburn female LI be demi? I’m not demi, only ace, so I can’t speak on that experience, but I think that might work pretty well, maybe she goes in knowing she’s demisexual and comes out of it knowing she’s demiromantic too? Id love that but idk
I want to touch on customization too, since there’s nowhere near enough
Definitely body types
I forget who said it, but have the typical thin type, a muscular type, and a plus sized
And don’t get me wrong, I know it’s extra work for the artists, but I personally think it’d be worth, but who knows
Make fantasy hair colours possible - blue, green, purple, pink, silver - with the type of variety S3 had, in a style closer to S2
Also tats! And piercings! Just like a septum or some ear piercing, maybe a lip, nothing too difficult
And allow for actually different personalities and careers
I get that most people who apply are going to be outgoing and influencers, but this is all fake anyway so who cares
Have your personality impact LIs, certain LIs are easier to get hearts with with a certain personality, while others have more negative reactions to that personality
Lot of coding but this is just my make believe, what’s the harm
Okay into each day
Id have 20 days, since I agree that that’s a pretty good sweet spot
And Im definitely on board with MC being a bombshell, but instead of introing her on the first day, Id do the second
First half of the episode is spent as a recap of the first day, 5 couples like usual, let’s call the Islanders Bobby, Harry, Camilo, Bill, Rohan, AJ, Talia, Elladine, Miki, and Erikah, I’ll explain later, it’s pretty much for one single reason each
So MC’s first day is the Islander’s second, she shows up like Lucas & Henrik, before all the Islanders are up, and she has an option to say hi to someone early, add a gem to be upfront about being interested or something, during the second half of the first episode
Second episode starts with all the Islanders finding MC and saying hi, whoever you chose to have a chat with’s partner is kinda salty, if you chose a guy
MC ends the day choosing between any of the guys and two of the girls, AJ and Talia
For the guys, like Season 3, three are endgame, ones a red herring like Rohan in Season 1, and one’s up front about it being a friendship couple from the start, since I definitely think we need actual friendship couples - this friendship couple guy is Bobby, but without the pushy crush
Rohan is initially interested, but like in Season 1, he gives it up after a while
AJ is super into it and happy if you pick her and has no problem with it, while Talia has a “no thanks” thing and makes you pick again
Basically, youre not supposed to pick Talia because she’s not open to that yet, and that tosses you off her route or makes it really difficult to fix, maybe only a few dialogue options over the next few days or a specific personality gets her to forgive you. If you don’t pick her, you can couple up later as normal
Day 2 is like it usually is, you’re LIs original partner starts grafting on your LI if you have a male LI, Bobby doesn’t care if you steal AJ, you just have to have a talk with him and he’s fine
You can attempt to reconcile with their original partner, and if you succeed they’ll stop, if not your LI will step in and tell her he’s not interested
Day 3 finds a whole Villa recouping with a dumping. If you have a female LI, then girls are choosing, and AJ will pick you, however there is no dumping for future numbers sake, I know it doesn’t make much sense for the guys to be safe but whatever
If you have a male LI, the boys are choosing. If youre with Bobby, you get stolen and have to help Bobby decide who to dump.
He’ll always choose to dump Miki, regardless of who your LIs ex was or what you say. His reasoning is that she hasn’t made a connection and she was accidentally mean to him once and this Bobby’s hella sensitive
Bobby kinda struggles with it and has a rough few days - You have the option to be sympathetic and keep him available as a friendship couple option, or be a jerk and lose the option to be in a friendship couple
Day 4 is a bit of a filler day, with a fun challenge and some actual conversations.
You learn about your LI and someone else of your choosing, whether that’s a friend, like Ell or Erikah, or another LI youre romancing, like Talia or another of the guys
This is the first time Talia starts to be honest with MC about maybe fancying her and being open to seeing what happens
Day 5 has bombshells: a guy and a girl. The girl is our Marisol of this season, which can also explain away why she’s so slow to open up, she feels like an outcast since she came late and MC can empathise better than anyone which is how they initially bond
The guy is also a LI, but far more bold than Marisol, he has no trouble grafting in front of MC’s LI and trying to steal her or win her over - I’m just going to call him Lucas
Day 6 has another boys’ choice disaster recouping, but with the threat of a dumping on an AJ route
No matter how you reacted to Lucas’ flirting, he picks MC, whether you were going to couple up with him or not, he still steals you from your LI just like Season 2, for simplicity’s sake
The other couples get mixed up, a Nope-adjacent couple are split up, let’s say Erikah and Camilo, but they don’t make it all about them. One of the girls had been pining after a guy but he chooses someone else even though she’s available (Elladine, but Bobby’s oblivious), the girl Bobby was planning to couple up with gets stolen (Talia, but regardless of your route, she doesn’t fancy him), so he couples with Marisol
On a male LI route there is no dumping because the couples are already even
On an AJ route, Rohan is the deciding factor between AJ and Miki. Miki is always dumped because she was barely involved the past few days and Bill isn’t that interested in her even though they were coupled up
Day 7 is the start of Casa Amor, but much shorter this time. Two of the guys are endgame - let’s say Arjun and Carl, two are interested in other girls - let’s say Graham and Nicky, and there’s one you CAN get with, but cheats and gets dumped later on, essentially a Rocco, and one just isn’t interested, another friendship couple opportunity if you don’t want to share with one of the LIs - let’s say Seb
Day 8 is still Casa, you get to know the boys or can crack on with any of the female LIs, though this is still applicable to Day 7
You get a chance to either commit to AJ further or say you want a break to crack on with someone else
If you reassure her, she’ll pie off all the guys and you can stay on the daybed together, essentially ignoring the disaster recoupling and pretending youre still together. But if you dump her, she’ll crack on with Seb if you’re not paired with him, and Arjun if you are, just as a sort of revenge
During CA you can get closer with Talia, cheeky winks in public and getting kinda nasty during a challenge
You get sneaky scenes with Marisol where you learn where her head is at and how she has a hard time opening up and letting people in. You can reassure her and say you’ll be patient or pie her off and she’ll get with the season’s Graham, though they’ll have a different dynamic and ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE AS A COUPLE
Im sorry but boaty mcboat face and MARISOL?? i just dont get it, im sorry
You can graft on Arjun & Carl, tell them where your head is at, and they’re far less pushy
They try to impress but they’re not like poking you until you tell them you’ll take them back to the Villa like in S2
Day 9 is the final day of Casa, with a stick or switch
You can take back Arjun, Carl, Seb, or Rocco, although Seb is a platonic option but you can pair with him the rest of the season as aromantic representation
AJ never switches to save Rohan, and to be loyal if youre on her route
Talia doesn’t switch no matter the route, she spent Casa just hanging out which honestly isn’t the best idea outside of her route
Erikah switches, because like Season 1 Erikah, her head turns quickly, it’s just a matter of time. She switches to Rocco if you’re not on his route, and Arjun if you are. This is going to absolutely blow up in her face
Elladine switches because she gets worried Bobby will, picks Nicky and they actually get on really well
Marisol switches to Graham if youre not on her route to stay safe again, though they dont last anyway, and sticks if you are because she spent Casa with MC instead of the guys
Bobby sticks cuz Bobby
Harry always switches to someone, let’s call her Cherry cuz why not
Camilo sticks to get back with MC or Erikah - Erikah switched, effectively dumping him and really upsetting him
Rohan switches to someone, lets call her Shannon, no matter the route
Bill always sticks
Lucas switches to someone, lets call her Blake, no matter what, just for simplicity’s sake and because I’m already ripping from S2 so who cares
Day 10 is aftermath, much like Season 2
You can talk with your previous LI, 
Day 11 has a massive dumping where you vote to save a few people
One of the original Villa boys stays, Camilo is the default but if youre on Harry or Bill’s route, they’ll fill his place
Rohan and Bobby survive
If you brought back a Casa boy, you pick between him and Lucas to be dumped 
If you didn’t, Lucas is safe automatically
Rocco/Arjun survive, they’re coupled with Erikah
Either Nicky survives to stay with Elladine or Graham is saved for Marisol if she brought him back, Nicky automatically survives if not
For the girls, Erikah, Elladine, Marisol, and MC are safe
You vote between Cherry, Blake, Shannon on who to save, Shannon is the encouraged option because her and Rohan are actually really cute, but he’ll be nice to any of the girls for the rest of the season
You have to vote between AJ and Talia, sorry queers, i hate it too
Day 12 has a recouping where Talia is finally available if you saved her after everything from Casa Amor
You can reunite with your LI from pre-CA or simply stick to youre CA pick, it’s girls choice, MC is somewhere in the middle
Day 13 has two bombshells - both guys, let’s call them Levi and Tai
Levi grafts hard on MC whereas Tai takes a backseat and MC has to go to him instead if shes interested
Day 14 is a grafting day, you can graft and bond with your LI, Levi, Tai, or Marisol
Day 15 is the second to last recoupling, where you can get with every LI 
If youre romancing Marisol, you have a fight in the morning because she still won’t commit and she hasn’t really had an drama on her route yet
Day 16 is an explosion of drama
It’s another Roccogate but on an even bigger scale
If you’re on Rocco’s route, you suffer the backlash, and if you’re not, Erikah does but it still blows back to MC in order to keep her involved
Rocco makes a move on Erikah when MC’s with him, and MC when Erikah is. If he makes a move on MC, she can reciprocate or blatantly shut him down and Erikah will always reciprocate it when he’s coupled with MC because whaddaya know her head can turn at the littlest thing
If he made a move on MC, she can tell her LI who will chew him out privately, or keep it to herself
They basically get caught in the act by Levi, who doesn’t say anything until the afternoon - a lie detector that reveals a bunch of stuff, ill discuss later
He’s asked if he has any drama and he lies, saying no but eventually spills that Rocco made a move on MC/Erikah, and regardless of whether MC reciprocated or not, he says she did
If MC’s with Rocco, she can attack Erikah until someone steps in, maybe Bobby? Or Arjun? and reasons with her. She can get most of the Villa on her side about Rocco being a prick - except for Levi, no matter what, he’ll always side with Rocco and say it’s part of the show
If MC’s not with Rocco and denied him, her LI will accuse her of lying and she’ll have to essentially win them back by the next day or try and get Rocco to clear her name, which she can if they have a high relationship
And if MC didn’t deny him, her LI will dump her on the spot if they have a low relationship, or still win them back if they have a high relationship - but it will still be remembered
Back to the lie detector
There’s the typical S1 questions, cheating is revealed, you can commit to your LI
BUT 
If youre on a Marisol route, your LI asks you about her and MC has to confess, which drives a rift between her and Marisol because yeah
y i k e s
Day 17 is the final recoupling
Marisol basically storms into the kitchen when MCs making breakfast and says they’re coupling up and just leaves again. MC has the option to be like “yeah okay, chill” and go back to her breakfast or “what the fuck? no” and chase after her and pie her off
If you don’t pie her off, she chooses MC herself, because that scene in S2 is just really cute and I want another
There’s a double dumping of two boys - Levi and Rocco, and you have no say in it
Erikah, MC, or her LI will essentially turn the Villa against Rocco, while a few of the Islanders resent Levi for his take, mainly the girls
It’s a couple vote, and even if you vote for someone else, they still get dumped because they have the most votes
Day 18 is filler and fluff, meet the parents and final dates, with a surprise dumping where you can get a say and can help them pack, but its a strictly platonic goodbye
There’s so many possibilities and I don’t feel like listing them out right now, but it’s a single couple between three at-risk ones
Day 19 another surprise dumping, why not stick with prom? I just really dig the art, and but maybe make it closer to Season 2? And more personalized speeches!!!
And have a Lottie/Hannah moment! 
Idk who all would be here, I don’t feel like listing it out, but I think I have all the dumpings listed below the cut
You can pick between both people dumped who you want to help pack, and can have a moment with either of them, opening a “runaway” option after the finale or reunion
Day 20 is the finale, with the Islanders gossiping and stressing in the morning as some filler content
The afternoon is the announcement, and your placement depends on your couple - If you were loyal the entire time you were with them and have a max relationship you get 1st, if you were loyal but dont have max hearts, you get 2nd, if you weren’t loyal but still have max hearts, you get 3rd, and if you have neither you get 4th
If you win, your LI gets the money no matter what and it’s not based on relationship, it’s based on where in the relationship you are - if MC agreed to be their girlfriend on Day 18, they split the money, and if MC didn’t, then they don’t see a future and keep it
The last episode is the finale party with options to dump your LI for good, make plans to move in, reconcile and explain why MC didn’t say yes on Day 18, or get with someone else entirely
Oh and I want two of the dumped guys to show up together and have started dating outside of the Villa
Cuz I can’t think of another opportunity for mlm in this chaos
This is really messy so I’m going to list out couplings under the cut to try and make sense of this, I think I got everything but probably not its a disaster

Hi! Can I have a matchup?? I'm a 5'9 plus sized Transguy, I'm bi with a preference towards men, and i'm a cancer + an infp! I enjoy cosplay and drawing! I also really like anime, dying my hair various colors, and horror! I'm very shy/quiet, but once you get to know me I can be very clingy, outgoing, and caring! I'm kind of like the dad friend in my friend group lmao. I'm a bit stupid when it comes to romance and it will take me a long time for me to get touchy (like hugs) with someone, no matter how long I've known them.
This was a tricky one, I won't lie! But, I think I've finally settled on...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Leone Abbacchio!!
Now, I know this sounds like a strange choice, but hear me out.
Abbacchio strikes me as the kind of person to admire artistic ability and expression in all its forms. Music, drawings, fashion, all of it.
So, I think he'd be really interested in your work.
He also very much strikes me as a fan of horror. He's not easily scared, and would probably enjoy poking fun at any cheesy tropes or terrible decisions in the content he's consuming.
Oh, and he'd absolutely help you dye your hair if you wanted. Maybe even dye his own, if he's feeling particularly adventurous ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You being a quiet person is actually really refreshing for him. He doesn't mind if you talk his ear off, but the fact that you seem to be on the calmer side even when chattering at him is nice.
Dad friend solidarity, y'know?
But what really sold me on this ship is the lack of touch. Abbacchio isn't a very tactile person, and would probably prefer not to have a partner who's big on PDA.
This isn't to say he wouldn't hug you or hold your hand if you asked, he's just glad it's not an everyday occurence.
After all, he has so many other ways to show you how much he loves you.
Even if he's also a bit stupid at romance.
Alternative Pairing: Rohan Kishibe!
An art aficionado, much more to an extreme, but also much more... Critical of what you make. Not to say he doesn't like your creations, but he's hard on you because he wants you to be able to make the best work you can.
Obviously a horror fan, but would push to consume content that's a little more on the realistic side.
Another person who's pleasantly refreshed by your quiet, calm self, as well as another person who's not big on PDA.

— && guests may mistake me as ( avan jogia ), but really i am ( rohan 'ro' bishop + cismale + he/him ) and my DOB is ( 06/09/1994). i am a ( socialite ) and would like to stay in suite ( 309 ). i won’t be much of a bother because i am ( + clever, discreet, & straightforward ), but i can also be ( - deceptive, fickle, & self-destructive ) at times. personally, i like to ( get drunk & start bar fights for fun, listen to music, & train my dog ) when i have the time to relax, and my favorite snack is ( bruschetta ) to have in my suite. thank you for checking in!
Tumblr media
( tw: drugs )
grade a dickhead 
was sent to the malnati by his parents after getting caught dealing coke, sending him away so his indiscretions didn’t interfere with his adoptive mother’s campaign for mayor
has been at the hotel for a year now, deciding he likes it much better than living at home and his parents couldn’t agree more lmao they’re so done with him honestly i don’t blame them
funny thing is, some of the clients he sold to back home come around to the malnati just to buy from him bc they know his shit is always good so yeah u bet he hasn’t stopped dealing oops 
the only thing he loves in this world is his dog, titan. he’s a black cane corso and he’s huge and scary looking, but is a big ol’ softie to anyone who’s not a threat. ro brings him with him to shady ass drug deals for protection, bc he will not hesitate 2 tear someone apart upon command. he’s a v good boi tho so he will not attack anyone unless prompted or if someone is threatening ro’s life. he mainly only sells to wealthy, high class people so he doesn’t have to worry about this very often.
likes to get drunk at the hotel bar but prefers to go elsewhere to drink so that he can start random bar fights lmao it’s very amusing to him to poke and prod people until he finds what makes them snap. plus, he was told all his life that he needed to practice restraint & he was t i r e d of it 
king of sarcasm
will probably lie to you twice in the same breath
at the same time, he’s spent his whole life having to hold back what he truly thinks of people, so he’ll be brutally honest if something looks bad or you’re acting in a way that he deems irritating. he will not hesitate to tell you you’re annoying 
pansexual & will probably hit on u if he thinks ur attractive but there’s also a good chance he’ll start an argument w u as well bc conflict turns him on
i think he’s probably aromantic but we’ll see
honestly if u can deal with his shit he’s a really loyal friend ok u just gotta get past his garbage personality
a little backstory 
( tw: murder , tw: death , tw: drugs )
born & raised in chicago
his mother was murdered on the street while she was walking home one night, when he was around seven, leaving him an orphan since his father was nowhere to be found. he never knew him, didn’t care to even as he got older
a wealthy family took it upon themselves to adopt him when they saw the story on the news, but it was more for political gain to make them seem generous and charitable. they already had two kids, one older and one younger than him.
he never really seemed to fit in with them, or anyone else in their world for that matter. always felt like the black sheep of the family, despite being treated equally as his siblings. he never wanted for anything, but he felt odd coming into this wealth when the first seven years of his life was filled with him and his mother barely scraping by. he was lucky if he got a good meal every other night back then.
because of this, he always gravitated toward the rougher crowd at school, the ones who crashed spoiled rich kid parties and did drugs behind the bleachers. he was astonished how many snobby little rich kids did coke... regularly. using it like fucking adderall. 
he didn’t partake, not while he was in school, but as soon as he found out how lucrative selling was.... that was it. from then on he didn’t need his family’s money, but sometimes he took it to buy more product to move. they didn’t know any better -- they just thought he was using it to buy useless things to show off their wealth, like his siblings did.
 it all came crashing down when he was a senior, when his younger sister caught him making a deal, taking pictures for proof to show to their parents. he tried to play it off, to get out of it -- something good, one of the only things, that came from living like this was his sharp tongue -- but with photographic evidence, it was hard to deny it. they told him that he was lucky that it was his sister and not someone else, like the press, who could ruin the family’s reputation. little did they know, he couldn’t give a shit less about that.
they were more strict with him from then on, monitoring him a little closer, telling his sister and his older brother to keep an eye on him. telling them to let them know if he tries to do anything like that again. 
the thing is, he was much smarter than both of them. he knew how to be discreet, knew how to make it look like he wasn’t doing anything wrong. so he continued to deal, just had to do it under the radar. way, way under.
he graduated without another incident, without getting caught. as he was brought into the adult world, the charity events, the galas, it was all the same. he’d built a secret reputation for himself, and soon he was selling coke to every reputable person in his family’s circle of friends that needed it. he felt invincible -- if his parents caught him this time, he would have leverage. ‘go ahead, try to stop me. i’ll bring all your little friends down with me.’ 
years passed and his life became party after party, and as much fun as that may sound to outsiders looking in, it was completely exhausting. the thing about the rich was, they were insatiable. always wanting more, more, more. 
eventually his parents caught him again, this time the consequences were much greater. they sent him to the malnati as a way to try to keep him away from trouble and stop him from dealing. they even pretty much cut him off from any of their funds, thinking that would knock some sense into him. but since he’s got his own source of income, he doesn’t care about his family’s money anymore. 
the hotel has given him the opportunity to gain even more high class customers, so his parents’ attempt at straightening him out completely and utterly failed.

a few jojo characters and the memes they would enjoy: a list
• jonathan joestar: he'd be that guy who doesn't understand memes at all
• erina pendleton: wholesome memes in general
• robert e. o. speedwagon: dead memes. especially those rage comics from 2012
• dio brando/DIO: anything involving wine, the goth aesthetic and shades of narcissism
• joseph joestar (young and old): literally a shitposting machine
• caesar a. zeppeli: he'd probably laugh at joseph's shitposting... just not in front of him. and i feel like he'd get a good laugh from the "...bro" memes
• elizabeth joestar, AKA lisa lisa: has a similar taste to dio's
• rudolph von stroheim: as he's a literal nazi, i figure he'd like alt-right memes or so
• the pillar men: wtf they have no time for that human nonsense (though kars would secretly be fond of doggo/birb memes)
• jotaro kujo: he'd look at lame puns but just to get angry
• noriaki kakyoin: oh, he'd surely be a channer and love /v/. there is a 99.9% probability that he would've helped 4chan track shia labeouf down. and he still collects rare pepes just because he likes the damn frog so much
• jean pierre polnareff: no preferences. anything would make him laugh. ANYTHING, i say.
• muhammad avdol: he'd probably have a good laugh at the weirdest shit in existence
• iggy: he would feel like every human meme is too normie for him
• vanilla ice: this man would have a fanpage for dio and post memes about him, alongside pucci, mariah and enyaba
• terence trent d'arby: one who would enjoy memes about gaming (but not the ones that we see on facebook). a loyal follower of /v/, just like kakyoin
• hol horse: y'know the kind of jokes that your dad and/or your uncle make on whatsapp? this is the one.
• josuke higashikata: he'd be all over doge and would beat up anyone who claims it to be a dead meme. because, y'know, he's practically the human form of doge. insulting doge would be insulting him, just like the hair thing he's got going on
• okuyasu nijimura: like erina, he'd post wholesome memes all over, and probably some weird internal jokes with josuke
• koichi hirose: anything that his friends say is good
• rohan kishibe: memes about the struggle of being an artist (especially from tumblr)
• yukako yamagishi: the kind of memes that teenage girls like
• reimi sugimoto: doggo memes, all of them
• mikitaka hazekura: weird-ass jokes that no one understands and laughs at exactly because of this
• yuya fungami: he'd make memes of himself and would use them unironically in every situation possible
• shigekiyo "shigechi" yangu: overly saturated memes that no one can stand anymore
• yoshikage kira (parts 4 and 8): i bet 2 dollars that he'd share anything as long as it's about laughing at the expense of idiots
• giorno giovanna: have you ever seen this man. he does not laugh. he wouldn't post any memes at all.
• bruno buccellati: he would actually and sincerely laugh at everything the other passione members sent to him
• guido mista: his favourite meme would be "no homo bro", to the point that he'd say that to giorno all the time, who wouldn't get it and just stare blankly at mista
• narancia ghirga: the dANKEST MEMES IN EXISTENCE
• leone abbacchio: depression memes, to a point where the other passione members would start to become worried about him
• trish una: memes about pop singers and LGBT culture in general (she's like the typical straight girl who says she's "one with The Gays™")
• pannacotta fugo: he would give angery reacts to every meme even if he liked it
• vinegar doppio: no memes, just cute pictures of anime girls and dogs
• risotto nero: he looks very menacing, but the kind of memes he would like is... dad jokes. all over.
• ghiaccio: to quote the man himself, and that may or may not be an actual ghiaccio quote, "WHO THE FUCK HAS TIME TO LAUGH??? I AM TOO ANGRY FOR THIS"
• cioccolata: the kind of meme that makes you think "what sort of psychopathic fuck would get even the slightest laugh from this shit"
• diavolo: he wouldn't normally laugh at anything, but if doppio showed him any meme he would probably chuckle
• jolyne cujoh: memes about sex. even before she turned 18, she'd still make these jokes over and over
• ermes costello: would giggle at lesbian memes but swear to god that she isn't one
• f.f.: she doesn't understand human humour, but would definitely have some good laughs at the lamest facebook memes in existence
• wes bluemarine AKA weather report: any sort of memes that make fun of florida, for any reason
• narciso anasui: those memes like "we are number one but every one is replaced by pingu saying NOOT"
• gwess: has pretty much the same sense of humour as cioccolata's, only more toned down
• enrico pucci: aside from managing the dio fanpage mentioned above, he would also like christian memes ofc
• johnny joestar: oh he'd laugh so hard at the "i have crippling depression" meme, because he would just find it so relatable. and then cry afterward
• gyro zeppeli: like in canon, he'd share pointless jokes, stupid puns and songs that became memes (such as man's not hot or the 7th element)
• lucy steel: a very simple girl, would laugh at anything mr. steel showed her. like her original universe counterpart, she'd also be fond of wholesome memes
• diego brando: like kira, would share memes that make fun of others. probably an addict to failarmy compilations
• hot pants: christian memes, like pucci, given her religious background
• sandman: that one image that has a boy presenting a powerpoint slide that says "white people are crazy" would be, hands down, his favourite
• funny valentine: there's a very high chance that he'd share memes poking fun at hideous spelling/grammar errors. and memes mocking the UK. he'd also say "FREEDOM, BITCH" unironically
• jo2uke higashikata: his timeline would be comprised of lame puns. he'd also make some OCs and show them all to yasuho before publishing them
• yasuho hirose: haha reacts at every meme jo2uke posts
• norisuke higashikata IV: the daddest dad jokes. no one can compare to his dad jokes. he would be a winner in that aspect
• daiya higashikata: music memes (and, as she's blind, she'd ask kyo to read the memes for her)
• joshuu higashikata: would probably like the ideal GF meme and make a "yasuho GF" of his own
• hato higashikata: similarly to trish above, she'd enjoy memes about pop singers. and there's a high chance that she'd like stuff about the kardashians
• jobim higashikata: beetle memes if those exist at all. the man would also be a huge pokémon lover as well, and share jokes about the franchise
• tsurugi higashikata: as in canon, lame puns. jobim would also show him the pokémon jokes, which tsurugi would greatly appreciate
• kyo nijimura: doesn't laugh in front of the higashikatas, but she herself would make some OCs at the expense of the family and send them to jo2uke, hoping that his "kira" side appreciates those
• kaato higashikata: she once saw one of kyo's OCs. and damn, she loved it so much that she begs kyo to send more, especially if they're about norisuke
• karera sakunami: anything will make this woman laugh, especially relatable memes

I'll pre-send my matchup before I forget! 1/2: I'm a straight, INF/TP Virgo girl. Not the most sociable and people view me as introverted and distant. With a bad case of resting bitch face: I do get irritated easily and can hold grudges for a long time, but I usually forgive. I like to pretend that I'm smarter than I am (lol) to boost my ego. I enjoy comics/manga, games (video+board), and I was a theater and music geek in HS! (Continued in second post- derp anon)
I’m not very physically affectionate, but like compliments and verbal affirmation. I also don’t make friends easily but once I open up, I’d say loyalty is one of my strongest traits! I love being a smart aleck, but sometimes I get carried away and friends think I’m being mean when I was really teasing. Am I a bully? I don’t think so. But if I bully someone that means that I’m close to them :P thanks for doing this!
I’m matching you with… Rohan!
Rohan’s personality blends well with yours. The two of you are definitely one of those couples who seem untouchable and unbothered, because you are! When he’s finished with a manuscript of Pink Dark Boy, he’ll let you read it immediately, so you can enjoy his work before anyone else. He’s very interested in watching take part in music and theatre, so he can observe the way you sway to the music, keeping the image tucked away in his mind for later; when a musician makes an appearance in his manga, though, he’ll deny that you’ve inspired it (even though you totally did). He also partakes in friendly bullying, and the two of you poke fun at each other all the time - nothing too serious, it’s just the way you flirt!

Hey Shinobu! Good luck with your blog, I hope you have fun with it! If it's alright, may I request an imagine of Rohan confessing to his crush/future s/o?
Aaah thank you so much!!! I really hoped you liked it!! I ramble a lot so whenever I do imagines they end up like super long!!Rohan sat at his wooden work desk, fiddling with his 4B pencil and staring down at the mess of ink brushes and papers. He was suppose to be working on the new chapter of his manga, but damnit, he couldn’t get the process going and it was driving him nuts. What could possibly be holding up such a beautifully creative mind? A person. But WHO! Who could possibly be clogging up the mind of incredible Rohan?! Well, it was s/o of course. It always was, they haunted his work time, his free time, and his night time. It wasn’t always like this, in fact, he was in denial for a very long time about his feelings for s/o. It was only when he truly noticed the love that had grown on him that he was entirely captivated by them.He thought for about 20 minutes until he finally had the perfect solution.He was gonna propose.Well, I mean, not marriage, but in his head, a confession was almost at that level of importance. It had to be perfect, maybe he would draw a wonderful comic, one that would seem innocent at first, but slowly reveal it’s intentions. It would be his best work, maybe not in long term work, but it would be his best freelance work. So, that day, he got to work, he drew like mad. His manager was a bit pissed at him for being late with his chapter on his main manga, but it was worth it. He was halfway through the drawn confession when he decided to go grab some lunch. He hadn’t been eating all that well due to all the work, but he was officially half way there, so why not treat himself?On the way to his favorite pastry shop, he actually found s/o. He felt his heart race as he watched them notice him aswell and walk over with a wave. “Rohan!! What are you doing here?? I was just on my way to the store!” They gave that wonderful smile, the one that he had erased copies of many, many times bc he could never recreate how glowing it was.He gave a short smile,”I was uh, just on my way there too actually. Do you mind if we walk there together?” He gestured to the sidewalk, ignoring the hungry growl from his stomach. They nodded excitedly and they both began to walk together. After a few awkward moments, s/o nudged Rohan’s arm,” Oh uh, hey I forgot to tell you!! I met this uhm, really nice person and I think they like me! They asked me to dinner and I feel so flustered, should I go??” They gave him a weird look, one he couldn’t really decipher. He felt awful. A nasty, disgusting feeling formed at the pit of his stomach, it wasn’t his hunger either. He didn’t say anything for awhile, he was so good at keeping his cool and yet, here he was, unsure if he should open his mouth or not, because if he did he might snap. When he looked back at s/o, he gulped, seeing a confused expression on their face. He took a deep breath and finally spoke. To this day, he swears he was going to say something else, but what he ended up saying was what was suppose to be only in his head. “God damnit! I’ve been working on that thing this whole time and now...” He trailed off, his eyes going wide and slapping a hand over his mouth when it finally processed what he said.S/o’s eyes widened. They didn’t even have to wonder what he meant, because they had taken note of his expressions, and now at this moment he was blushing and wouldn’t look at them. Plus, their intentions with the whole date thing was a lie, it was a ruse to see Rohan’s reactions. They felt really guilty for lying to him like that, but it looks like they got the answer they wanted. They began to fiddle nervously at their top and suddenly found interest in a little weed poking out of a sidewalk crack. Rohan knew his secret was out now. He also knew s/o was going to occupy his thoughts even more. If he didn’t confess now, and find out their true feelings, he wouldn’t know what to do with the confession comic. So, he stuffed his hands in his pockets, quite dramatically actually, and cleared his throat. Once he knew he had their attention, he spoke up. “So um, ah, I guess I should explain.. S/o. I uh, seemingly have fallen in love with you.” He stared down, sweating profusely and feeling his face heat up horribly. Oh god. ‘Fallen in love with you’ ?! This was suppose to be perfect and now he screwed up royally. He was even talking like a cheeseball. Suddenly he felt a pair of arms wrap around him, as an instinct reaction, he almost shoved them off, but let them when he realized it was only s/o. He heard a gentle, shaky voice,”Oh.. Oh gosh.. I love you too.. Sorry about lying about the date thing.. I wanted to see how you’d react and it was mean.. Aah.. I love you too.. I can’t believe this..” They sounded like they were gonna cry, so he slipped his arms from under theres and held them back.“No worries, I understand..” He smiled at them sweetly.Then they had to move because they were blocking some guy, it wasn’t a perfect confession like he was aiming for but at least it’s over with. The only thing now is that what was he gonna do about that half comic.... ugh.....

1. Favorite anime?
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and if I had to get specific, DiU. It’s not my favorite part but obviously the others have yet to be animated. We shall see. I also really love HxH, Cowboy Bebop, Mob Psycho and Fullmetal will always have a place in my heart. Yeah, I know, kinda generic answers. *shrugs*
2. Your worst anime?
I can’t do SAO, and I absolutely loathe Fairy Tail. The sudden “THROUGH THE POWER OF NAKAMA, I AM S TRONK” stuff makes me cringe when it’s in sheer excess. But honestly, if I find it horrid, I just stop watching and wipe it from my memory sooooo I can’t think of too many. I also can’t call anime “my worst anime”, just anime I couldn’t get into or didn’t like. Watching DBZ, for example, becomes a drag because it’ssofreakingslowfinishthefightalready. But there’s no denying that it’s a classic and inspired a lot of stuff that came after it.
3. Do you read the manga that goes along with the anime you watch?
I actually read manga far more than I watch anime. It’s faster for me and I get the author’s original intended plotline. Also, I’m impatient and I wanna know what happens. I usually watch the anime after I’ve read the manga. Though, recently, I’ve finally started watching more anime without the manga. 
4. Most favorite genre?
I guess shounen? But there are plenty shounen I can’t stand as well. I can’t say for sure one thing, but I do like the introspective psychological thrillers like Paranoia Agent. I also like anime that kind of poke fun at its genre and doesn’t take itself too seriously like Jojo’s and OPM. And honestly a lot of anime switches tones/dives into all sorts of different genres (HxH), but I do need my action.
5. Least favorite genres?
See, I want to say Shojo, but I love Akagami no Shirayukihime to bits. Maaaybe straight-up horror. Not because they’re not good, though. It’s because I’m a chicken.  
6. Favorite character/s?
We’re gonna be here all day pls. Caesar, Jotaro, Kakyoin, Rohan, Gyro, Diego, Hot Pants, Yasuho, and Jojolion’s Kira from JJBA because I love WAY too many chars from that. Akutagawa from BSD. Shigeo, Teru, and Reigen from MP 100. Arima from Tokyo Ghoul. Those are the ones off the top of my head. I’m bad with favorites.
7. Least favorite character/s?
I can’t stand Sakura from Naruto, but I mostly blame the poor handling of her story because she was cool in the saving-Gaara arc. I really don’t like Koichi from JJBA idk why. 
8. Qualities you like in a character?
Clever, I guess. I don’t care if they’re goofy (Joseph Joestar) or an edgelord (Itachi). As long as they don’t come off horribly annoying, they can really mix up a show and make it more interesting. I also really do love my villains. Like Hisoka from HxH is unpredictable, so when he’s around, it’s hard to tell which way the story’s gonna go next. I’m just a sucker for morally gray (or just not moral) characters. 
9. Short or long anime?
Short lately for saving time’s sake. I also have the worst attention span. But I have made it through long stuff. *cough Jojo’s cough*
10. Anime or manga?
Manga for getting more story faster and just aaaart. Anime for VA, animation, music, ughhh. I like both. So much effort goes into both. I just hate it when the anime stops being faithful like Tokyo Ghoul’s s2 COMPLETELY GOING AGAINST the manga’s story. The choices they made for that also lacked logic. Waste of decent animation and budget >.<
11. How do you choose the anime you watch?
Usually good reviews, friends’ recs, the studio, and seeing if I like the plot summary. 
12. Skip or listen to intros/outros?
Depends on the OP/ED and if I’m in a hurry to squish in an episode. If it’s pretty and catchy I usually don’t skip.
13. How do you cope if your friends or family don’t like you watching anime?
I separate my friend groups so I don’t dump my weeb fangirling woes on them. As for family...ahaha... I watch when they’re not around. It’s been easier for me to do so now because uni so. 
14. Do you stop an anime midway if you don’t like it?
Eyup. Definitely. I’m picky as hell and if something seems too generic I’ll stop. I usually give something 4 episodes to get me hooked unless my friend begs me to keep going. Usually seeing tropey things make me wanna stop immediately.
Errrr. Gonna tag @seridano
