Okay, I was going to explain a possible path for a worm of the string au with Sparrow complaining one day that the puppet can't leave the chamber to relive the fever of being in one place and that her thesis being rejected and then Caper reading the thesis and iterating that idea and then he somehow manages to get off the string.
But getting off the umbilical without reason or explanation is more funny!
Imagine if that starts happening to the others iterators?
Pls tell me his face is priceless! More so if it is a red lizard (do train lizard exist in your au?)
Also, how would Notos and Haboob react to Sparrow?
Now, you mentioned that when Sparrow killed the red centipede she was not in the respawning cycle. What is the age that the Ancients enter the cycle?
staring like a deer caught in headlights GSDLKMCLK this man should either have internal bleeding from a Red Liz bite or bad damage in the coconut and Yet he's 👌 how puzzling
n yah! train/hurricane lizards Are real in the Serotonin Take!
as for Notos n Haboob, assuming it's in the off string post-ascension thing too:
they'd like each other! :D
and the respawn cycle is entered once the etheric body is finished growing which is around like.... 20-23 years old

If he were present and could read thoughts, there’d be no doubt that he’d fire a witty response from his seemingly infinite supply. Luckily, he was neither of those things, but even alone on a cold Tokyo morning, he still managed to leave a piece of him with her. Right now, however, she didn’t want the romantic connotations that came with it, because having an Akira-like voice in her head whilst hunting for potential gifts was an invasion of privacy.
Before long, Naoto entered a quiet music shop in Hachioji, far from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo’s 23 wards. Hardly anyone was present, save for the man at the counter, who hadn’t looked away from his newspaper. Her only instrument of passable expertise being the piano, it was the section she quickly threw herself into. Books of all skill levels and genres, metronomes and other things.
She picked a random book, advanced jazz, fully expecting that she would have forgotten half of what she’d learned. Yet, the music playing in her head, her fingers dancing away on an imaginary piano, said otherwise. Naoto combed through the other jazz books, but none contained his signature flair.
When Naoto returned to the estate, it was late afternoon. She thought of taking a nap, knowing he’d be elated that she was being reasonable for once, but when she doubled back her grandfather’s study, a delay was inevitable.
Too much effort spent on something that’d be mercilessly torn apart, but when it came to giving gifts, sloppiness wasn’t in her dictionary.
The day arrived, and Naoto placed her package, dull gray with a red star gift bow slightly off center, on Leblanc’s counter, and tried to ignore how she’d run into Ann and Ryuji moments prior, and how they definitely needed to run an errand elsewhere.
Also tried to ignore any sort of teasing, obnoxious look he’d throw her way. “I’ve come to uphold the tradition of giving presents on this day. While I could tell you what it is, you should investigate this... mysterious package for yourself.”
...It had sounded much more eloquent in her head.
Akira didn't immediately turn from the bags he was restocking at the sound of the bell above Leblanc's door. But upon hearing Naoto's voice, the teen spun around and greeted her with a warm smile. He hadn't anticipated her arrival -- nor the gift in her possession. His smile faltered, falling agape until she finished speaking, and amusement trickled into it again.
Setting the bag of coffee he was holding back into the shipping box it came from, he stepped closer to stand directly across from Naoto and her "mysterious package" : neat and orderly and waiting to be unwrapped.
Oh, now there's a dangerous thought...
Akira blinked harshly to silence the demon, whose laughter rippled in the fires of his heart. Instead clearing his throat and lifting the present from the counter to inspect it closer. ❝ And a Happy Christmas to you as well, Shirogane-san. ~ ❞ Akira chuckled softly as he turned it over in his hands, finding the seam along the back. They could tell she spared no effort in wrapping the gift perfectly. From its size and shape, and the way it drummed beneath their fingers, it was difficult to say for sure. Too thin to be in a box, to thick to be in a case. He did not rip it apart, but pried up the taped edges carefully, and pulled the item from its paper sleeve.
An . . . unexpectedly thoughtful gift. Akira ran his fingers over the embossed hardcover, flicking the book open not a moment later to page through its contents. Beautifully organized, peppered with a variety of songs and styles and with a whole section of pages in the back for him to write his own sheet music.
Akira closed the book and held it to their chest as they snapped their gaze back up to Naoto, and smiled at her once more.
❝ I could kiss you, ❞ he said, all too casually, setting the book back down onto its wrapping before making a beeline for the stairs, calling behind him : ❝ BUT ! I have something you might appreciate more than that ! ❞
After rummaging upstairs for less than a minute, Akira re-emerged with a mysterious package of his own. A gift bag instead of a box, since it came in its own case courtesy of Iwai. Deep, glossy blue with delicate silver accents embellishing the sides and bleeding into the satin handles. Buried under a bed of woad colored tissue was a box containing a model Nambu revolver, nearly identical to the one strapped to Naoto's hip. Only the metal was tinted with cobalt, and the handle engraved with the Phantom Thieves' logo.
❝ I know you of all people don't need one, ❞ Akira explained as he leaned on the bar again, propping his chin against his fist. ❝ But, as a member of the team, I felt it was only fair for you to have one of your own. Even if you don't use it, I figured you might consider it a token of appreciation. For, you know . . . not arresting me. ❞

fukcing literally. you can have a charavter call another woman her other half, and overall have them act extremely romantic with each other, but people will still ship her with the nearest man. and then go insane over m/m ships with less interaction (i am vagueing a specific fanbase)
U LITERALLY UNDERSTANDDDDDDD people who go “oh het ships r so under appreciated” are 9 times out of 10 the ones who only give a fuck about m/m relationships and not f/f relationships like no I hate to break it to you but the only way ppl in fandom give a shit about female characters is if she’s with a man. Tiring. Why do you all hate lesbians. & it’s always like if these were two guys you would be all over this but since it’s not you do not give a fuck. People only care about female characters in their relation to male characters and it makes me so fucking mad open ur eyes. Unconscious bias etc etc but also atp you should be realizing this and choosing to give a fuck abt female characters.
If you weren’t talking abt pjsk (altho I’m assuming u were because that fanbase fucking hates lesbians as I’ve said recently) ignore this but like. Love ruikasa! I’m insane about them all the time! But an/kohane is quite literally Thee most supported relationship in canon even compared to m/f relationships but you would not be able to tell this from the way the fanbase acts. An saying “I’m going on a date” and getting the reaction “with kohane? 😐” ????? An acting like they’re married? I wasn’t informed of this? Becoming a vbs stan only because of that brb. If I’d been told this before I would have invested in vbs and not wxs (lying I love emu too much). Kanade/mafuyu? Way more canon text implying that. Mafuyu fucking lives with kanade. Whole 2 yr anniversary amv scene for them. Emunene are way closer than ruikasa to the point where they hang out consistently. & you get so many ppl going “how can the fanbase be lesbiphobic/misogynistic we’re all gay” as if they don’t treat the female characters/wlw relationships as side accessories to the m/m and m/f relationships. Searching the emu tags and nene tags is just m/f it makes me want to claw my skin off you guys succckkkk why do you hate lesbians. Whatever. I don’t care. (Lying) (going to send pipe bombs to my own address).
Not even a mmj/leoni stan but like. Those r lesbians. Why won’t u guys talk about them. I don’t give a fuck about the men talk about the female characters. I will be honest a large part of why I’m more quiet abt emunene despite it being Thee Relationship Dynamic Ever is because nobody talks abt it besides them being ruikasa accessories and so nobody else gets them and their depth so it feels like I’m talking to a brick wall. THEY R SO DEEP… TO ME…….. baby dykes….. crying screaming etc. emunene did not get a gay ass card for u all to be acting like this. “Emu/nene/minori/ari/shizuku/shiho would like a man” you are lying to me rn. Get help.
