on ruka’s influence on kyojuro.
Tumblr media
kyojuro’s memories of his mother are accurate: she was a loving mother, the source of his moral code, and the light in his father’s eyes. however, nostalgia and grief often dull the less pleasant aspects of the people we love as easily as they amplify the parts we love about them.
ruka was a hard woman to please. her standards for the rengoku men were high and failure was never an option. she was the one who pushed kyojuro when he trained with his father, because she saw his potential to be great. but to be great, he would have to struggle, and as much as she loved him, she understood that she would have to push him almost to the breaking point to become the world needed him to be. 
she also likely instilled him with his penchant for snap decision making and. all-or-nothing judgment. slowly dying made ruka see the world in black and white. you were a human, or you were a demon. you were on the side of justice, or you were in its way. you were alive, or you were dead. this perspective was likely passed down to kyojuro, who she spent the most time with toward the end of her life.
ruka could also be withholding of her affection. it was never in overt way, and what she was doing was likely never truly picked up consciously by her family, but it happened.  kyojuro received the bulk of it and as a result he was not able to sit and spend time with his mother until his training was done to her satisfaction; then she praised him ( lightly, to avoid developing an over-sized ego, but enough that he didn’t grow up into a sycophant ) and gave him the softness and attention he craved.

Was Ruka very affectionate with you? Also why does she always got a poker face lmao
“She was affectionate in private. Me and our sons are rather affectionate people, though I doubt I seem that way.
She often used to rest against me while we sat, and whenever I returned from a mission, she’d greet me by holding my cheeks in her hand, and kissing me. It always brought my spirits back, even after the roughest of missions.
We cuddled a lot when we slept too, she liked being the little spoon.
As for her expression, I blame her family for that. They weren’t particularly good to her, so I assume she adopted a more stoic and calm expression to deal with it.
Still, she smiled a lot when we spent time together as a family.”

Hit me with your favorite 5Ds headcanons 👀
Okay so I’ve used/alluded to some of these in my fics already, but that’s just because I love them that much (also it was really hard deciding which are my favourite headcanons):
Crow swears the most out of the boys, but has an almost supernatural ability to completely shut his swearing off the second children are around (unless he’s really flustered)
Though I’ve kinda hinted at something like it before, Jack isn’t actually the worst cook at the Poppo Time. Bruno is. Because Jack knows what good food is supposed to taste like (having been a star duellist for a while and all) and can reasonably guess how to approximate those flavours—he just doesn’t cook because he doesn’t have the patience to learn any technique whatsoever (or clean up after himself when he’s done). Meanwhile, Bruno just can’t cook. Straight up. It’s not a matter of wanting or not wanting to, if you try tasking this man with anything more difficult than preparing cup ramen he will burn something. Guaranteed.
Bruno and Yusei don’t have the same mechanical skillset. Bruno is almost 100% specialised only to runners, and at that, he’s slightly better than Yusei. But Yusei’s advantage is that he knows how to fix almost everything else (provided it’s mechanical and/or electronic), too.
All three of the Satellite boys actually know how to sew a bit. Martha taught them how to mend their own clothes. The quality of their seams varies (Crow’s are the neatest because he got a lot of practice from mending his kids’ stuff, too), but they all know how to sew tears shut and mend holes.
Aki isn’t as good a gardener as one would believe with her plant theme. She likes gardening a great deal, but doesn’t have a lot of experience outside of house plants. So she could decently keep a garden alive, but would never be able to maintain something like, say, a bonsai collection or a bed of prize roses, despite her love for the activity.
I’ve written a whole post about this already, but I still adore it, so: Satellite natives, post reunion with the city, are the bane of brand phone store workers’ existence. They want everything fixed, not replaced, and trying to explain to them why that would be too complicated (whether contrived or not) usually results in them not paying a single cent and going something like “oh, forget it, I’ll just give it to the neighbour’s boy, he’ll take care of this”. This includes Yusei, who usually just ends up fixing his own stuff, and especially Crow, who has already nearly gotten in a fistfight with some tech company’s store manager upon hearing the supposed price of a repair/replacement on more than one occasion before. (He obviously just ends up handing his stuff over to Yusei, too, in the end.)
Maybe my favourite headcanon: As TCG fans know, the manga versions of the signer dragons were printed as the duel dragons. In-universe, I imagine the duel dragons were also printed—as commercial, publicly available retrains of the signer dragons, who are supposed to be one of a kind in canon. (I also use this headcanon to justify why the signers have support cards tailored specifically to their dragons—they were printed to go with the duel dragons in-universe, but allow usage with the original signer dragons as well.)
Rua/Leo isn’t actually that bad at school. He’s just not very disciplined when it comes to studying because he’d rather keep polishing up his deck.
Ruka/Luna owns several duel monsters plushies. Her favourite is, of course, her Kuribon plushie.
Carly is really good at clocking people’s vibes and figuring out their character quickly. The caveat is that this only works when she meets them face to face.

Could you write something, you’re allowed to choose the format, of Namba going through a zombie apocalypse?
C
Of course I can! Thank you for sending this in, since I mentioned having a lot of ideas for this that I never thought I'd get the chance to rant about and now I can! I hope you'll all enjoy the ranting!
So, the zombie apocalypse comes to Nanba Prison. There's a couple ways I could see it happening. One way it could go is that a visitor, or even one of the prison staff or guards, could unknowingly have gotten infected on the mainland. Maybe they had a random and bizarre experience with someone already zombified and they blamed the encounter on someone just being high on bath salts. Maybe the food they ate carried the virus needed to create zombies. Whatever way it happened, they unwittingly got exposed to whatever makes people turn into zombies and then, when they did get onto the island, the virus really took hold and they went full zombie and started attacking. While that initial zombie was probably put down and put down relatively quickly, they managed to do some damage and spread the virus to at least a couple more people, who then spread it to a couple more before they could be killed and so on and so forth until it's getting more and more difficult to keep up with putting them out of their misery.
Another way it could happen? It could definitely be an experiment the Otogi's were working on together that went terribly, terribly wrong. I think I prefer the first one a little better, just because in this kind of scenario, the Otogi's would either become some of the first to go zombie or just straight up get killed and that really puts Nanba in a real tight spot as to whether anyone survives because they really need their healers and researchers.
Now, in a way, Nanba is the perfect place for the zombie apocalypse to really break out. It's not only inescapable but it's pretty impenetrable, not only with the high walls and security feature but by the simple fact that it is an island. There's only one way on, one way off really. I think that's something that was banked upon during the first initial outbreak, when things were getting bad but still seemed to be under control. Momo ordered all forms of transportation to the island to cease temporarily but overall, the guards figured their strength and diligence alone could prevent it from spreading.
When things started to spin and the zombies started getting more plentiful in number, too much to easily control and take down, Nanba goes into full lockdown mode. Each building is quarantined, much like how we saw Building 5 during the Enki arc. Travel between different buildings is forbidden and the guards are given the orders. Squash this zombie uprising, protect your prisoners, and prevent any prisoners from trying to escape.
In headquarters, Momoko is in charge, overseeing everything, and really tries to keep a handle on the situation. She plans and oversees this as the commanding chief of an army would and believe me, she puts her army to good use.
Of course, she's only able to do that because Mitsuru is also locked safely in headquarters with her. If it wasn't for Mitsuru's communications and technological skills keeping all the different buildings connected and updates kept coming at hourly intervals, Nanba would likely have fallen completely.
Of course, the Otogi's and KAGU-8 are also within headquarters, commanding their teams in a joint effort operation to figure out what the hell is causing all this, to find a cure for it, and to figure the best way to get that cure out to everyone who might need it.
KAGU-8 actually comes in incredibly useful as well because, as a robot, she is immune to becoming a zombie. She goes out of the building whenever it's deemed safe (as in, she won't let anything in and they know she can't transmit the virus back to them as it's not anything skin to skin contact), acting in a variety of manners. Not only can she give them a better view of the actual situation outside of their building, but she can act as a go-between and aid various buildings in need of support.
Because animals also seem to be completely immune to being turned zombie, Kyakuya, Hiiragi, Tsubaki, Sazanka, and Kikiyou also help KAGU-8 in those kind of roles and they're also a valuable source of intel for Building 4.
And Building 4? It makes itself useful. Not only is Yozakura exceptionally strong and more than capable of taking down a single zombie, but he is a very smart man and knows how to research and investigate. Musashi actually is allowed out of his cell, though he must still be closely supervised every minute, under the orders of the Warden, to help as that is something Musashi excels at as well. Building 4 really dedicates itself to helping Headquarters' research and investigation team as much as they possibly can. Even though Hitoshi isn't really the most skilled at research, they help by taking care of the others, rationing out food while still making sure everyone is fed, and really taking over the supervising of the other guards and the overseeing of the prisoners.
Speaking of food, it becomes clear after the first week or so that travel must be established between the different buildings so that rations and provisions can be shared. Not only that, but after the first building or two fell due to zombies, it became apparent that staff needed to have a way for backup to reach them in case things did start to go bad inside a building.
While Momoko and Hajime will definitely need to have a meeting after this whole thing is over, it's really Building 13's time to shine when it comes to finding ways for the Buildings to safely travel between each other. While Jyugo and the others normally keep their travelling within Building 13, Jyugo has probably snuck around to other buildings without Hajime or the boys noticing, just because he could. And with the inmates of Building 13 really being given a little leniency, and the blueprints to Nanba, it's a walk in the park for them to figure out, test, and secure safe passage between the various buildings. Anyone going between the buildings must be accompanied by a Guard, and honestly Building 13's supervisors and guards have the best reputation and everyone wants them to accompany them. The pure amount of just stupid levels of strength and combat that both Yamato and Hajime have make them more than capable of taking on any zombies that come their way. Seitarou and Tsukumo, meanwhile, actually have really fast reflexes and a kind of stealth that makes them really talented at going safely in between the different buildings and at leading groups between buildings.
Building 3 finds their purpose during the apocalypse in several ways. Not only do Honey and Trois team up but they also team up with Ruka under the supervision of Kiji and start to produce various weapons and battle plans and tactics. Honey often collaborates with Building 4, Uno, and even the Warden herself on one occasion when it comes to tactics and plans. But they also do something else that proves useful as the apocalypse wears on. The communications channel gets turned over to Building 3 once a day, where Kiji or other staff from Building 3 just spread positivity, remind everyone of why they're fighting, assure them that things will return to normal, and remind everyone that they also need to take care of themselves. Shower as often as you can, make sure you get your beauty rest, don't forget good skin-care and little mindfulness breaks, just to keep yourself looking and feeling the best you can. After all, if you look and feel good, you can conquer anything, even a horde of zombies.
Building 5 tends to be the building most everyone counts on to actually go out and put those plans and tactics into action. They're really the front-line soldiers of this battle and not without very good reason. Not only are the guards of Building 5 exceptionally physically and mentally strong, but it's inmates are normally quite physically strong and talented fighters in their own rights. Even Qi gets drafted, becoming a sort of combat medic and he's the one to test the zombie antidote, each time the Research Team thinks they have perfected it, out in the field. Other inmates and guards from different buildings do back them up whenever possible, but they are really the ones in charge down on the ground.

Do you ship jarlaxle/kimmuriel? What are your HCs on them as a ship if you’re willing to share!
I do! Blame Glacier's Edge and also @rukafais .
Anyway, headcanons. Some of these are a little sexy and I'm not sorry.
I feel like Jarlaxle and Kimmuriel originally thought they had a mutually beneficial arrangement for sex and cuddling that certainly wasn't based on real feelings oh no.
They were completely wrong about this, but for the longest time both of them thought they were the only one who had caught feelings.
Also Zak coming back from the dead made things Complicated.
(Said arrangement was probably relatively recent, like it started between the Neverwinter quartet and the Companions Codex, and they didn't get shit ironed out until at least post-Generations if not later.)
Kimmuriel (along with the dragon sisters) is one of the few people Jarlaxle trusts enough to sub for and once Kimmuriel got the hang of domming people, he did so magnificently.
All the experience was on Jarlaxle's side. He's been an ethical slut since the tenth century and had seen and done it all and all Kimmuriel's previous experience was whatever was going on between him and Rai'gy (and also possibly being bred by K'yorl to make strong psionicists.)
Jarlaxle is playful enough in bed that sometimes he wants to do sexy role-playing, but Kimmuriel is not at all good at playacting. They muddle through anyway. Sometimes (usually) there's costumes.
Kimmuriel 100% uses telekinesis and other psionics to do some freaky shit in bed.
Jarlaxle canonically gets turned on by scheming and Kimmuriel really enjoys doing murders. Every time they have to plot an assassination together, they end up fucking like bunnies.

@slayersaided asked: (totally anon) can you tell us more about swordsmith ruka? did she have a mask of her own like haganezuka?
Tumblr media
yup ! like all swordsmiths she wore a hyottoko mask to conceal her identity. there were few, if any, other lady swordsmiths, so there is no tradition of wearing otafuku, aka the female version of the hyottoko mask.
her background is still being worked out, but so far it looks like this:
born the youngest of five children ( and the only girl ) in an established swordsmithing family. very traditional household. her father told her that because she was a woman she was weak, and therefore her duty was to stay out of the way of the strong and take care of the house and occasionally assist him in the forge. ruka disagreed that she was weak, but she agreed with his general sentiment that the weak were burdens that hold back the strong. how many slayers died saving civilians, after all? but she really took to forgework and practices smithing in secret.
in her off-time she is trained to use a naginata for self-defense. she's very good at it and is, perhaps, a little too eager to slice at people who look at her the wrong way.
when she is sixteen, tragedy befalls the family, and her father and older brother are killed by bandits while they and her mother are delivering blades. her mother, an anxious woman, was frozen in fear and ran and hid while they're cut down. ruka hates other humans and never forgives her mother for this, and her belief that there is no place for the weak is solidified.
at seventeen, ruka tries taking over the family forge but is met with resistance from her older brothers and village outrage over a woman taking the forge. superstitious men believe a sword crafted by a woman will bring ill luck and guarantee death. no one will let her create a nichirin blade and bars her from accessing the special ore.
ruka sneaks out of the village to the mountain and steals sunshine ore that calls to her. she plans to craft something small to practice--
but on her way back to the village she is ambushed by lower level demons and dragged to douma's cult. douma is upper three at this moment in time.
from ages seventeen to nineteen she is douma's captive and his "favorite." she manages to stay alive by being incredibly fucking smart, calculatingly ruthless, winning douma over by scheherazading/jane greying him, and fighting to stay alive sheerly through spite. the abuse suffered at his hands makes her hate demons more than anything on earth. watching women sell each other out and walk blindly toward their death both increases her contempt for humanity and her pity for the weak. look what they're willing to do just to have a better life. it's a difficult time for her emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. douma never "has" her. however, the stress and harm she experiences her contributes to her general decline in health and eventual early death.
after learning as much about his weaknesses as possible and gaining his trust, ruka initiates an intimate moment with douma, making him belief she's finally going to be his -- and then blows ground-up sunshine ore into his eyes and cuts off his genitals? him with a small sun-ore dagger she forged in secret. she curses him and escapes, the only woman to do so.
she returns to her village and tells no one of what happened to her.
the family forge has been totally ruined by her brothers who married and left. ruka restarts the forge and essentially forces the village elders to recognize her as a smith. she is a no-nonsense smith and keeps to herself, but her skill as a smith is begrudgingly recognized.
at twenty she is assigned to rengoku shinjuro, who keeps breaking his fucking sword. she appears at his house and chews the shit out of him. they have a contentious relationship but shinjuro begins simping for her, and as she sees how much he loves helping people and how hard he works to protect the small, her misanthropic attitude slowly melts.
shinjuro is in love with her but he's too fucking weird and socially awkward and insecure to do anything about it. when ruka shows up at his house and informs him that they are now dating, he flushes like an idiot but is very happy.
they fall in love fast and are married within a year.
ruka wants a big, strong family, and works as hard as possible to get pregnant. shinjuro loves getting ridden into oblivion so he's all for it.
at twenty-two, kyojuro is born. when she sees his tiny little face and helpless hands, the last of her dark misanthropy finally melts away. he is small, and weak, and that makes him precious. his weakness gives her and shinjuro the strength to fight even harder for the good of humanity. the strong exist to protect the weak. she believes this now. she raises kyojuro with this mentality.
at twenty-seven, senjuro is born. he is weak, at first disappointingly so, but she loves him dearly. however her attention goes to kyojuro, because he will be her legacy, and the one to join the fight against muzan.
ruka raises kyojuro with her same strong moral sense. she also raises him to kill "the upper three" demon who tormented her. she may or may not have gone into detail. ( this missive will charge his fight against akaza, who he believes is the demon his mother spoke of; however, he is wrong, because douma has been promoted. either way, he dies having failed . . . but she still loves him. )
ruka dies at thirty-two, thirty-three years of age. she declines rapidly in the last three years and is house-bound for the entire last year. she is angry about dying, but she hides this from her children. shinjuro sees it, but doesn't know how to handle her burning pain. foreseeing his inability to cope with her death, ruka entrusts the care of the family legacy to kyojuro, and tells senjuro to do everything he can to support kyojuro's mission.
her strong personality, her anger over having unfinished business, and her attachment to her family ties her spirit to the rengoku estate and kyojuro's tsubasa. she haunts shinjuro and watches in disbelief as he becomes a twisted, crumbling version of himself. he believes he gets too drunk and hallucinates her sometimes. she is no hallucination.
in verses where kyojuro dies at mugen train, she relinquishes her ties to earth to lead her son to a peaceful afterlife. in verses where he survives, she holds him, then pushes his soul back into his body. he still has work to do, and he knows she's a perfectionist. he cannot come home until his work on earth is done.

Kyojuro is terrible cook, he can’t make edible dishes because he is focused to get used to fire and heat
Actually it was his Mother’s, Rengoku Ruka, idea to engage him in the kitchen to learn some basic skills that lord knows when it’ll be needed.
She excited her sunshine by telling him how flames are beautiful phenomena, capable of transforming raw materials into usable food/stuff , but staying beyond the capability of enduring heat could burn the toughest rocks into dust aches , left to the wild wind to carry them wherever it pleases .
Unfortunately, her son took her words literally, and thought it was a similar exercise to “Kankgari” but with seasonings.
Years past, and Kyojuro always flamed his heart with his mother teachings. Even after he quit this basic world, Kyojuro was grateful to deliver one last word from their mother to Senjiro to get out of flames he can’t endure, wishing his younger brother to set his heart ablaze for the path he chooses

Ruka sure plays a few plant type monsters she didn't have before here, doesn't she? So here's a funny little headcanon: Between the end of the DS arc and now, she and Aki traded duelling tips and Aki gifted her a few cards.

DASH GAMES | what does your muse…
What does your muse smell like? // Cherry blossom and ink since Ruka is very talented in calligraphy and practices it as a hobby.
What does your muse's hands feel like? // Ruka's hand are soft and smooth, since her coming from a noble family and not doing handcrafting works
What does your muse usually eat in a day? // Due to her sickness, not very much. But she loves steamed foods (mushimono)
Does your muse have a good singing voice? // Ruka is a very traditional and elegant woman. You would never hear her sing openly. But when Kyojuro was born, she would hum quietly lullabies while making him sleep.
Does your muse have any bad habits or nervous ticks? // Ruka has a weak expression, so it is sometimes a bit hard to read her. There is no particullar bad habit, but when she is extremely nervous she lets out her nervousness by tapping her finger lightly on her thigh as an output.
What does your muse usually look like/wear? // Ruka has defined facial features, such as her sharp nose and long eyebrows. She has large dark red eyes with circular white pupils and a small mouth, with semi-long black hair tied loosely at the end in a ponytail.As a traditional Japanese woman she mainly wears traditional kimonos with light colours and flower patterns.
Is your muse affectionate? How so? // Despite being quite and calm her love language are words of affirmation and quality time, as she loves to listen actively, encourage and appreciate her loved ones and loves to spend time with them.
What position does your muse sleep in? // On her back, not moving. (little own hc: Shinjuro was afraid the first shared nights that she might be dead, as she didn't seemed to breath. Just to realize that she is just very quite.)
Could you hear your muse in the hallway from another room? // No, she is very quite, walking in small steps. Though you can hear the rustling of her kimono walking.

Let’s rev it up! Synchro Summon!
Yusei Fudo from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds has been added as a Secondary Muse!
Original Japanese anime and headcanon based, with some influences from the video games (Tag Force, The World Championship DS Games, Duel Links) and the English version of the anime (Mainly on the fact my voice claim for Yusei is Greg Abbey as opposed to Yuya Miyashita/Yusei’s catch phrases or summoning chants/The English card names, and may use the English terms/character names depending on partner’s preferences, which will be sure to be checked prior to any interactions. Essentially, he’s a little mix of everything!
(This is once again @masterofaster​​ ‘s fault. Thanks Crix for being an enabler and Yusei looks forward to kicking Jack’s butt again LMFAO.)
