idk whether to love you or hate you but either way you’re the best :’) :’) :’)
UNDER THE CUT BC LONG 
4: Most Likely to commit murder
Most of them tbh - even Ben, though his would be totally accidental. Vrox has probably beaten people to death, if he needs to Dante has no qualms with snapping someone’s neck, June doesn’t have a problem with ripping people’s heads off with their teeth or at least removing a limb. Mars murders anyone who turns him down + all their loved ones. Myriad is probably the one that commits murder on a regular basis though; a hobby of theirs (and their job) is finding the worst kinds of criminals and... punishing them, then taking their souls directly to hell. Think Dexter but more extreme. :)) 
5: Most Likely to be murdered
None of them really. Jesse, maybe, bc he doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut, or Ben, just bc he probably wouldn’t try to stop the murderer, or y’know, Mars, because I control what happens and I hate him. :))))
6: Most Likely to be framed for murder
Ben. He’s super quiet and withdrawn and just ups and leaves sometimes without explanation. He’s pretty suspicious from an outsider’s POV.
14: Most Likely to win the lottery and lose the ticket
Ginger, mainly bc she wouldn’t give a shit. XD
22: Most Likely to be asked for ID at 30
June. Not because they look young; they’re just so small. And every 4′9 bit of them would be steaming with anger, so Dante would have to jump in to avoid the murder of an innocent mortal. XD Ginger probably, too, she’s as old as the rest of them but physically she looks younger, about 20 at most. She doesn’t take it well either, but she’s less likely to plunge straight into murder.
24: Most Likely to Catch 'em all
Jesse plays Pokemon to finish the game and Be The Veeery Best. Vrox plays Pokemon solely to try and beat Jesse in a battle. They’d definitely have Pokemon battles with very loud swearing and fighting at like, 2AM in the morning. Their poor neighbours. X’D 
27: Most Likely to join the circus
Myriad. Possibly Ginger. Maybe even together. What can they say, it would be fun! 
28: Most Likely to overthrow the government
Myriad could, easily, but he chooses not to. Mars likes being in positions of power so he might try, too, subtly. Or August gets so fed up with how corrupt the government is and wipes everything clean singlehandedly. 
33: Most Likely to die alone
Ben, he doesn’t really talk to people/trust people. June, because they’re a bitter little asshole. Myriad, because they wouldn’t care and are fulfilled without a relationship. And Dante, because he doesn’t want the ones he loves to get hurt, again, so he keeps everyone kind of at a distance. :)) 
37: Most Likely to laugh on their deathbed
June, Myriad, Ginger, Vrox. All for different reasons.
39: Most Likely to accidentally teach a child to swear
MOST OF THEM. Excluding August and Mars. Damn, now I have a headcanon that Ben (seems soft but he can actually swear terribly if he wants to) swore once quietly in an “empty” classroom, looked up, saw one of his students at the door and almost died of mortification on the spot. XD
45: Most Likely to be a cult leader
Oh, Myriad, definitely. They already are. XD
48: Most Likely to get kicked out of life drawing class
Myriad and/or Ginger, because they’d keep seducing the models. Probably Vrox too ngl, Jesse the artist supreme probably brought him to one once but he got so bored he disrupted things and got them both kicked out. Oops. XD
49: Most Likely to not shower for a week
The most likely would be Vrox or Jesse. Jesse because he has bad PTSD days and depressive episodes and Vrox because sometimes he loses it and needs to be locked in a cage in hell until he calms down and can transform out of his hound form. Ginger too if she gets carried away with an adventure and doesn’t have anywhere to stop and bathe on a road trip. But normally they’re all pretty great with hygiene.
ask me the questions Em left out about my OCs?? XD

POKEMON BADGES ARE GIRL SCOUT BADGES?!
Holy shit i think that's it! On the early sprites and artwork for Red you can see some sort of weird big circle pattern on his hat, his shirt, a different place on his hat, with no consistancy. And i've just seen one concept art where it seems to have the Cascade Badge logo on it?? So were they originally envisioned as fabric badges that trainers would sew onto their clothes as a status symbol similar to scouts? That would kinda explain why you saw trainers holding their pokeballs on belts and bandoliers in the first gen, like i know everyone jokes about them being ammo holders but what if they were scout sashes? And then i guess it was just one of the many things that the anime reinterpreted that then became canon in later games. Like how pokeballs didnt have a button and used to literally look like gachapon capsules including one half being translucent so you can see the pokemon inside. Which would also literally shrink via magic rather than being stored in cyberpunk super energy technology. The Adventures manga actually kept this idea and i think its super neat!
Mannnn i wish they'd kept the fabric badges now. Im kinda torn tho? Like i understand that them being tiny plastic/metal clip ons makes more logical sense, and the whole thing of sticking them inside your coat pocket and dramatically revealing them would look coolwr in the anime and also save on having to draw them on the character model 100% of the time. But on the other hand fabric badges is such a cool cute and nostalgic aesthetic! It makes them feel more like an accomplishment, sorta? And more like this world has established a culture around the concept of gym challenges, if you see people wearing their badges in different ways as a fashion statement. It also makes a lot more sense as a thing you'd give to kids, like maybe kids get this version and the metal badge version is an alternate miniature equivelant for adults who feel theyre too mature for the normal one. And its cute to imagine it as an excuse for the player character to go back to visit their mom so she can help them sew on their new badge and congratulate them! Daww! Or imagining the kids being very responsible and talented if they were able to carry around their own sewing kit. It could explain the accessories for pikachu and eevee in the new game, like the protag learned to sew for the sake of his adventure and then he was just mending his clothes and then he actually ended up really enjoying it and learning to make miniature copies of his outfits for his new best buddy pikachu. :3 Oh oh, or maybe all the gym leaders are just nice kindly big sibling/parental figures to all the kids who beat them? You have tea together afterwards and they help sew on your badge and give you some tips for the next leg of your journey and a big ol motovational speech and also imagine Lt Surge's raichu cuddling your pikachu and acting as a move tutor to it? I will continue to aggressively headcanon lt surge as a good man because im still mad about the anime making him an asshole and telling me im supposed to hate raichu and not want pikachu to evolve. I evolved my pikachu in pokemon yellow IMMEDIATELY after that episode, i was so mad! Like yeah ash's pikachu has every right to not want to evolve, thats his decision. But that doesnt mean that lt surge's raichu is bad because it made the other decision! You could have just said pikachu doesnt want to evolve without making its evolution look like something the kids arent allowed to want. :( and also making a random gym leader an evil guy when nothing implied thatvin his game version :( what if he was a nice man with ptsd from his time in the war and he just saw you like pikachus too and he wanted to be a nice mentor figure to you and also he is Spark's uncle and also he hugs his raichu every day :( I love lt surge cos i was told to hate him, just like how i love Gaspar the random traded haunter in diamond and pearl just because they wrote his trainer being a jerk. I had to train him to level 100 just to spite her! Ans now i have to cherish lt surge to spite the anime!! I will style my pikachu's hair like him and take selfies together and be all hashtag my new pokemon dad. I really hope he is just like his red ans blue version in the new games, id be so sad if anime jerkness is canon like how jessie and james now are. Leav cool raichuman alon

[akiryu] track 2.10: sunset bridge
~4200 words / ao3 link
summary: people seem to have the wrong idea about what exactly the relationship between ryuji and akira is. ryuji reflects, runs, realizes.
(I LOVE P5 AND AKIRYU. so much. and the track sunset bridge from the ost. and the rest of the ost in general. wow. so here is my first attempt at persona fic, i hope i can do these two justice and write more fic in the future ;v;) - Perhaps because she is the newest member of their group and thus the most unfamiliar with them all, Haru asks Ryuji, in her typical singsong voice, “So how long have you and Akira-kun been dating?”
Ryuji nearly rips the tomato plants he was tending to out of their soil. This is the last time he offers to help Haru with her little garden on the school rooftop. “… What?”
Haru doesn’t realize the oddness of her statement, nor the way Ryuji squeezes the tomatoes in his hand in distress. She only smiles understandingly and says, “You seem very good together.”
“He and I,” Ryuji squeaks, “we’re—” “Someday I hope I can find someone who looks at me the way Akira-kun looks at you.” Haru sighs dreamily, smiling as she drifts her fingers over the leaves in front of her. “You are very lucky.” Ryuji feels faint. “It isn’t like—” Haru’s phone rings, and one glance at the caller ID has Haru hastily wiping her hands to answer it, giving Ryuji a quick, “Please excuse me for a moment, Ryuji-kun.” When she finishes with the call, she tells Ryuji she has an urgent meeting to get to at the Okumura Foods offices, and she asks Ryuji to please give the plants a quick watering before he leaves, thank you and so sorry for the trouble. In her haste, Ryuji doesn’t get a chance to explain. The door of the rooftop clangs shut as she leaves, and Ryuji runs a hand through his hair, mutters, “Jeez.” He picks up the watering can and wonders, What the hell did she mean the way Akira looks at me? - Ryuji watches closely during their next meeting in Leblanc’s attic. He doesn’t think Akira stares at him any differently than anyone else does. Maybe he doesn't glare as much as Ann or chide as much as Morgana, but it’s certainly not like Akira spends much of his time gazing soulfully into Ryuji’s eyes. Because that’s what couples do, isn’t it? Ryuji’s experience in this particular subject is nigh nonexistent, but he figures that much is certainly part and parcel with the whole relationship thing. “Is there something wrong with my face?” “Huh?” “You were squinting at me,” Akira says. Ah, shit. He noticed. Thinking fast, Ryuji says, “Uh, th-the light shining off your glasses was hitting my eyes.” “Oh?” Akira takes his glasses off, blinking his too-long eyelashes. “Is that better?” It’s far from the first time Ryuji’s seen Akira with his glasses off. But for some reason, Ryuji’s face turns warm and his pulse quickens beneath his skin. Akira tilts his head questioningly. “Yep!” Ryuji’s voice, to his horror, cracks. But Akira doesn’t seem to notice, just gives Ryuji a small smile before turning back to listen to Morgana’s explanation of another Mementos request. Ryuji groans inwardly at himself, and when he turns away from Akira he catches Ann’s gaze, one delicate eyebrow raised at him. “What?” Ryuji grouches. “Oh, nothing,” Ann says, sipping at her milk tea. -
YUSUKE: Ryuji, may I request your assistance with something? It better not be for modeling, Ryuji thinks, before responding, whats up YUSUKE: I have a few boxes of art supplies arriving today and I would greatly appreciate some help carrying them up to my dorm room, if you are available. Ryuji looks around his room. All he’s doing is reading manga, and sure, there’s a pile of unfinished homework waiting on his desk that he could (should) be working on, but. RYUJI: yeah sure, when? YUSUKE: Right now, if that’s alright. They should be arriving soon. Ryuji heads for the train. When he arrives in front of Yusuke’s dormitory, it’s more than just a few boxes sitting at Yusuke’s feet. “What the hell, Yusuke?” Ryuji stares. “Just how many art supplies do you need? This is why you never have anything to buy food.” “Don’t be ridiculous,” Yusuke says, hefting one of the boxes into his hands, “I bought groceries today. Bean sprouts and miso.” “You need more than that to live, you know!” By the time they get all the boxes up the stairs to Yusuke’s room—on the fourth floor, Ryuji internally cries—Ryuji’s arms are aching and his hands are sore from gripping the cardboard. “Thank you,” Yusuke says, when Ryuji places the last box on the floor beside all the others. “Sincerely. This would have taken me much longer had I done it all by myself.” “Yeah, well.” Ryuji stretches, hears his back pop in two places. “You don’t have to do stuff by yourself anymore, so. Anytime, man.” Yusuke makes a soft sound of agreement, with the barest curve to his lips. “Right.” “So, you got juice or anything here? I’m parched.” “There is a vending machine down the hall. I’ll return in a moment.” Before shutting the door behind him, Yusuke adds, “Feel free to look around.” Ryuji does look around. There are canvases all over, at varying points of progress. A bookshelf full of art books and some textbooks for non-art related classes. A neatly made bed and a drawing desk with a sketchbook laid on it. He steps over to the desk, and the sketchbook is open to a pencil drawing of Akira. He seems to be staring at something, cheek leaning against his curled hand, his face relaxed and open with the hint of a smile on his lips. His eyes… there’s a warmth in them that Ryuji is surprised to see conveyed through pencil. He nearly touches it with the tips of his fingers before stopping himself, not wanting to smudge Yusuke’s work. “I sketched that during one of our meetings,” Yusuke explains, suddenly appearing beside him. Ryuji nearly jumps out of his skin. Yusuke, unperturbed, offers him a soda can. “I-Is that so?” Heartbeat returning to a normal rhythm, Ryuji pops open the soda tab. Yusuke nods. “The looks Akira gives you are quite inspiring. I’ve been working on conveying the emotion on paper, and I think I’m getting closer to achieving it.” Ryuji chokes on his soda. Yusuke pats Ryuji’s back while he coughs violently. “Ryuji?” “Not this shit again,” Ryuji wheezes. “First Haru, now you, too. Just what the hell is going on?” “I’m afraid I don’t follow.” “You and me both.” Ryuji sighs. He covers his face with one hand, grimaces in embarrassment as he asks, “Does Akira… really look at me that way?” “You haven’t noticed?” Yusuke is genuinely surprised. “I assumed you two are very close.” “Well, yeah but…” Ryuji glances at the page again, feels his face heat up. “I think Akira cares a great deal about you, if that isn’t too presumptuous of me to say.” It’s always astounded Ryuji, Yusuke’s ability to be perfectly comfortable speaking with such unabashed honesty. God. This is not at all a conversation he ever expected to have with him. “Of course, Akira cares a great deal about everyone. I believe that’s why he is our leader. But I think there’s something even more meaningful with you. It’s the reason I drew this, after all.” Ryuji makes a distressed noise in his throat. This is all too much for his brain to handle at the moment. “Forgive me, it’s probably not my place to talk about it.” Yusuke moves to close the sketchbook. “It’s nice.” Yusuke pauses. “Your drawing.” Ryuji rubs at the back of his neck, sips at his soda and looks out the window, too embarrassed to look at Yusuke, or the soft sketch of Akira’s eyes, directly. “It looks good.” - That evening in his room, Ryuji considers. Why did it bother him so much, Haru mistakenly assuming they were dating? He could have just laughed it off and explained no, they’re only friends, and perhaps they spend a lot of time together but Akira hangs out with many people. Like a magnet, people gravitate to him. Ryuji was one of them, after all, finding himself drawn to this nameless, unfamiliar boy and suddenly feeling like he can rely on him. It had been so long since Ryuji felt like he could genuinely trust someone. But had he thought about Akira romantically before? He can’t help thinking about it now—Ryuji doesn’t know much, but he knows this: spending time alone together, going out on dates, holding hands… k-kiss— Ryuji buries his face in his pillow. He feels hot all the way to his fingertips. Oh no. - He’s yet to catch Akira staring at him the way Haru and Yusuke apparently have, but at this point, it doesn’t matter much. Ryuji can’t shake the thought—him, Akira, together—and it’s starting to drive him crazy. He feels a little bad about the way he’s handling it. Normally, he texts Akira two to three times a week asking to hang out, but this week he hasn’t been able to work up the nerve at all. Ryuji wonders if Akira has noticed. But he just can’t bring himself to spend time alone with him without turning red in the face, without searching his eyes for something Ryuji might have been ignorant to all this time. So instead, he runs away. Ryuji’s always been good at running. But this time, there’s no escaping it. They’re down in Mementos, trying to fulfill the last of four different requests. Akira’s in the driver’s seat, guiding Morgana over the winding, endless train tracks, which leaves Ryuji free to look out the window and decidedly not at the person who has singlehandedly occupied his thoughts for the past week. “Sharp left here,” Futaba says, a digital projection of the floor’s map in front of her. Akira complies. Before them are the gnarled, twisted ends of the tracks, and the hellish red of the portal leading to their target. “Careful,” Futaba warns as they all pile out of the van. It’s always difficult to read her expression with her goggles over her face, but her lips are pressed into a thin line. “I’m getting a huge power signature from this one.” Ryuji stretches, twirls his pipe in his hands. A good fight feels like exactly what he needs to escape his thoughts. “We got this,” he tells her with a grin. “Be careful,” Futaba stresses again, following them all through the portal. Futaba was right to warn them. Yusuke grunts as he guards against a heavy swing from their target’s spear, a towering, armored  Bishamonten Persona, and the force of it pushes him back, boots scraping against the concrete. “Skull,” he grits out through his teeth. “I got ya!” Ryuji comes from behind, pipe arched over his head. The Persona whips around lightning-quick, knocks Ryuji aside with its broad arm. Ryuji falls, the wind punched out of him, pipe clattering to the ground. The sudden warmth of a Diarama spell washes over him. When he looks up, Akira is holding a hand out for him. “Thanks,” Ryuji says, taking Akira’s hand and rising to his feet. “He’s tough, huh?” Beneath the mask, Joker smiles, which is just terribly attractive. “Nah.” Ryuji rolls his shoulders, picks his pipe off the ground. “He’s no match for us.” They charge in. All that talk and still all they can do is slowly wear away at the Persona’s health. Even the fierce burn of Makoto’s nuclear spells and the force of Yusuke’s attacks still leave the fight dragging long. All of them breath heavily, the length of the battle taking its toll. Morgana’s healing spells are losing their vigor. Ryuji’s pipe feels heavier in his hands, more and more difficult to swing. “Just a little more!” Futaba shouts, casting Matarukaja over them all. Ryuji feels strength return to his body, just enough for him to make this last, final push. Haru fires one of her rockets. It barely phases the Bishamonten, but the resulting smoke gives Ryuji the chance to close in with a heavy swing at the Persona’s head, and the hard impact rattles up Ryuji’s arms. Bishamonten groans and Ryuji leaps away, just missing the swing of the Persona’s arm. Not falling for that again. It’s disoriented. Akira readies an ice spell, light gathering at his fingertips. Bishamonten recovers faster than expected. It shakes its head fiercely, blinking away its dizziness, then focuses its gaze on Akira. “No!” Ryuji nearly falls with the abruptness that he turns on his heel, but he doesn’t care. Akira’s eyes widen. The Bishamonten rounds on him with frightening speed. Ryuji is faster. He pushes Akira out of the way. Pain explodes in his side. He flies several feet, hits the ground hard. Fuck. Fuck. He thinks at least one or two of his ribs are broken. The world is spinning. He can’t tell up from down. It takes all his energy to roll off his side and onto his back, and goddamn his ribs hurt. A shadow falls over him. “Skull!” Akira. He kneels on the ground beside him, his gaze worried. His fingers hover over Ryuji’s form. “Ryuji.” It’s difficult to find his breath. Ryuji heaves in a gasp and winces at the pain in his ribs. A green glow emanates from Akira’s fingertips, flooding Ryuji with warmth. The pain from his ribs dissipates. Ryuji breathes easier. “Man,” he rasps, “that guy really got me.” Akira grasps Ryuji’s collar with shaky fists. “You…” Akira’s eyes are wide. “You could’ve…” His voice falters. He bows his head, his grip on Ryuji’s collar tightening for a moment before he drops his hands away. “H-Hey,” Ryuji says, sitting up, “we made it out okay, didn’t we?” Akira stares at Ryuji like he’s trying to memorize the details of his face. He sighs, shuts his eyes. Then he slumps forward and presses his forehead against Ryuji’s chest. Ryuji freezes. He can feel the warmth of Akira’s breath through his clothes. “Yes,” Akira says softly, “we’re okay.” He looks up. “Let’s go home.” Behind Akira, Morgana takes a hold of the target’s treasure. The rest of the Thieves must have finished without them. Makoto is the one to get into the driver’s seat this time. Just before they join the others inside the van, Akira reaches out to squeeze Ryuji’s arm, briefly, and he says very quietly, “Thank you.” Ryuji stops. His heart is in his throat, beating wildly. Not trusting himself with words, he shrugs and slings an arm over Akira’s shoulders. He feels Akira relax. They head home. - ANN: Meet me at the diner on central street today. Like 12 ish. Got important stuff to talk about. RYUJI: uhhh like what ANN: Just be there :p When Ryuji arrives, Ann is already waiting for him in front of the steps to the diner. She all but drags him in. “Hey, what the hell?!” She maneuvers him into one of the booths before she takes a seat across from him, lacing her fingers on the table and fixing Ryuji with a serious look. Ryuji gulps. “So,” she begins, “you and Akira need to get together already for the sake of all our sanities.” “… What?!” This is precisely when the waiter arrives at their table and says, “Welcome! What can I get you today?” Ann turns to him, a perfectly cheerful smile on her face. “Two fruit teas, please!” “Alright, I’ll get that for you right away.” “Thank you so much!” When the waiter leaves, Ann’s expression once again turns very serious. “This is what you dragged me here for?” Ryuji demands. “Oh, come on. You can’t tell me you haven’t noticed.” “Noticed what?” Ann’s stare becomes more pointed, her eyebrows raised. Ryuji loses the last of his patience. “I’m effin’ tired of everyone making assumptions and saying all these things are obvious when I don’t have a damn clue what they’re talking about!” He earns a few curious glances from the nearby tables, but Ryuji doesn’t care. “I wish I knew, okay? I wish I knew what everyone else sees, about Akira, about us, but I—I don’t, alright, I just don’t.” Ryuji slumps down over the table, presses his forehead against the wood. “Everything’d be so much easier if I knew.” Ann is quiet. She sighs. Ryuji can hear the shifting sounds of her clothes as she moves, then he feels a hand muss his hair. “Wh—hey!” “You’re really hopeless, aren’t you?” she says. Her tone lacks bite, and it makes Ryuji furrow his brows at her. “Why do you think Akira reacted that way when you jumped in front of him?” “That’s…” “He cares about you. A lot.” Ann taps her fingers against the table. “And honestly, it’s kind of driving us nuts wondering when you two are gonna get together already. Haru already thinks you’re together.” “Yeah, I know,” Ryuji mutters. “Did she mention it to you?” Ann laughs. “Y’know, if she assumed you were dating, it must mean it looked like it went both ways for her, not just how Akira acts towards you. So I guess the real issue here is how you feel about him. Do you like him?” “I…” Ryuji thinks hard. He’s spent quite a lot of time this week thinking about what it would be like to date Akira. And he’s admitted before that being around Akira makes him feel free—like he can be anyone he wants, not just who others demand him to be. There isn’t anywhere he’d rather be than by Akira’s side, if he would have him. Ryuji blushes madly. How embarrassing. It’s always been Akira, hasn’t it? Ann giggles again. “I’d guess that’s a yes.” The waiter arrives and places two teacups on saucers in front of them. Ann thanks him and proceeds to add three sugar packets to her fruit tea. Ryuji fingers the delicate handle on his teacup, grumbles, “You know I’m more of a soda guy.” “If you’re gonna go confess,” Ann says, “you’ll need all the charm you can get.” - Outside the door to Leblanc, dark inside now that it’s past closing, Ryuji paces back and forth with his phone in hand. “Just effin’ do it already,” he mumbles to himself, thumb hesitating over the chat app. He takes a deep breath, then taps open his conversation with Akira. ��Ryuji?” Ryuji jumps ten feet into the air. “Holy fuck—” “Sorry, sorry!” Akira readjusts the bag on his shoulder, from which Morgana’s head peeks out. “Didn’t mean to sneak up on you.” “Well, ya did.” Ryuji places a hand over his rapidly beating heart. “Sorry,” Akira says again, not looking particularly apologetic at all, if the smile at the corners of his lips is any indication. “What are you doing here this late?” “I, uh. Wanted to see you.” Ryuji slaps a hand over his eyes. He pleads at his face to stop blushing already, dammit. “I mean—I needed to talk to you about something.” “Oh. Okay.” Akira pulls out a key from his pocket and approaches the door. “Want to come in?” Ryuji nods. Akira flips on the lights when they enter. It’s strange seeing Leblanc so dark and quiet. Ryuji’s never been here this late before. “Coffee?” Akira offers, setting his bag in one of the booths. Morgana climbs out, stretching his limbs. “Nah, I’m good.” Coffee would only make Ryuji jittery, and the grasp he has on his nerves is already tentative at best. “Do you want to go upstairs, or?” Upstairs. Akira’s bedroom. Ryuji swallows and says, “Yeah.” As they climb the stairs, Ryuji notices Morgana staying behind, making himself comfortable in one of the booths. The look he gives Ryuji seems to say, “I don’t want to have any place in whatever happens upstairs,” which only makes this whole thing more mortifying. He wonders how a cat can look like he’s raising an eyebrow. Ryuji only shakes his head and continues onward. Akira shoulders off his jacket and drops it onto the table beside the stairs. “Make yourself at home,” he says, gesturing vaguely to the expanse of his room. While Ryuji takes a seat on the couch, Akira opens a packet of plant nutrients and deposits it into the soil of his leafy potted plant, murmurs something to it about growing strong. He even gives his plants loving attention. Ryuji thinks he can’t be the only one in love with the guy. “Ne, Akira.” Ryuji wipes his hands on his jeans, swallows against the nervousness clawing up his throat. “Have you… ever dated anyone before?” Akira is surprised by the question, blinking. “No,” he admits. “It’s been an eventful few months, here in Tokyo. And before living here, there wasn’t really anyone I was interested in.” “And what about now?” “Hm?” “A-Are you interested in anyone now?” Akira straightens his back, turns to face Ryuji fully. “Yes,” he says softly. Ryuji’s heart thumps so loudly he wonders if Akira can hear it. He takes a breath, says, “Me too.” Akira’s eyes widen. Ryuji can’t believe he’s surprised. All this time, ramen dates and late night phone calls and who knows how many sappy heart to hearts. It’s no wonder the rest of the Thieves are at their wits’ end. Ryuji rises from his seat and walks forward to Akira. He stays perfectly still as Ryuji approaches, even when Ryuji leans in, lifting one hand to rest it against the wall behind him, boxing him in. Akira’s breath trembles on each exhale, and his eyes flicker to Ryuji’s own. “Ryuji.” Akira’s voice has gone very quiet. “I like you,” Ryuji says. He fills with determination. “I’ve probably liked you since the day we met. I like fighting beside you and hanging out with you and talking to you. A-And… if we could do all those same things but as boyfriends, too, then that would be really, really awesome. So.” Akira stares. Ryuji won’t run this time. He keeps Akira’s gaze, looks for a reaction or emotion in the inky depths of his eyes. Akira laughs. “H-Hey! What’s so funny? I’m serious, dammit!” “No, I know,” Akira says, muffling a laugh into his hand. He’s grinning. “Since the day we met…” he mutters, shaking his head. “We’re pretty dense.” “Huh?” Akira’s hands cradle Ryuji’s face, and Ryuji freezes under his touch, breath catching in his throat. Akira’s hands are warm. “I like you, too.” Akira’s smile is gentler now, and he looks at Ryuji like he is some precious, wondrous thing. Ryuji thinks this is what Haru and Yusuke and the others have seen for so long and that Ryuji somehow missed. It’s a shame—Ryuji wants to collect those moments, keep them like treasure. “That’s…” he breathes, “that’s—” “Awesome?” Akira suggests. “Well, yeah.” Ryuji grins. His traitorous skin is blushing again, but he doesn’t care. Akira likes him. Ryuji’s so happy he feels like floating. Like he could lift and fly right into the atmosphere, Akira’s touch the only thing anchoring him down to earth. “Can I kiss you?” he asks, because he’s come this far and he’s not stopping here. Akira leans in and steals the breath from Ryuji’s mouth. - “Is it break time yet, Makoto?” Ann pleads. “Not until you’ve finished the first set of problems.” Makoto points threateningly with her pencil. “I hate math,” Ryuji mutters. He’s got a habit of chewing on his pen caps and he’s gone through two already during this study session. They really need to find a new place to study together. The booths at Leblanc only barely fit all of them, and the table becomes too crowded with all of their belongings on top of it. The only upside to the tight squeeze is Akira pressed in next to him, their bodies touching from shoulder to ankle. Every once in a while Akira’s foot bumps into his and Ryuji bumps it back. Akira gives him a look, quick and fond and secret, and it makes Ryuji want to escape from the others and disappear upstairs with Akira for a while. Screw studying. Yusuke’s elbow digs into his side again. Ryuji would normally be forgiving considering the cramped nature of the booth, but this is the third time in the last five minutes and the guy’s got bony elbows. When he turns to ask Yusuke why the hell he’s writing notes with so much zeal, he gets a look at Yusuke’s notebook. “Hey, Yusuke’s not even studying,” Ryuji accuses. It’s not a notebook, but a sketchbook. “I was suddenly struck by inspiration,” Yusuke says, and lifts his arm away to reveal a sketch of Ryuji. It’s reminiscent of his sketch of Akira, back in his dorm room. He’s smiling, the kind of easy, carefree smile that comes after a laugh, and the same warmth from Akira’s eyes is conveyed again in Ryuji’s. He looks completely enamored. Haru giggles in her hand. “It’s a good look, Ryuji-kun.” “It is.” Akira smiles at him, looking very amused by it all. Where Ryuji might once have sputtered and made a fuss, now he only shrugs and lays his arm across Akira’s shoulders. “Yeah, it’s not bad,” he says, and grins.

Wow.
So. I just saw “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower” for the first time. 
I’ve never cried like that before. A movie where the hero was me. It was like what I could have been had I picked up a pencil instead of a brush. If I had been more of a quiet kid instead of being obnoxious and pushed people away. Perhaps, being quiet draws people in more. I knew a friend who was the quietest kid I’ve ever known. And he was one of the most influential people in my life. And when he left everything changed. Friendships drifted apart and people were never the same. He was like the glue that helped so many people together. When he left i began to realize that all of the friends I thought I had were really his. I did find who were real. And if it wasn’t for them I might not be here today.  I’m not gonna say my life is harder than Charlie’s was depicted. In fact, I’d say it was much easier. He managed to have a better freshman year than i had in all of high school. But he is my new role model. I don’t even know if walking up to a senior who made an impression no me in the first day would have worked if I had tried it. I doubt it. But he took that step. and that’s among the bravest things ive ever seen. even if it was a movie. You think of superheroes accomplishing fantastic feats that all of us can only dream of. (If you can accomplish those feats id love to meet you) but realistically I could never have talked to a senior in my first few days of high school.
My school was pretty small, and from my perspective, we didn’t have a wallflower group. But I might have fit in there better than with the nerds. With them I was surrounded by brilliant people. These kids are gonna be the next big inventors and people who have huge futures ahead of them. I was needless to say quite out of my league. I’m definitely not the smartest kid. Point of fact I’m leagues away from it. I’m not creative. I’m not brilliant. I’m not even a star athlete. I’m just me. I’m average. I suppose every one who’s great has to have people to be better than someone. Otherwise they wouldn’t be great. They would be average. They would be me. 
I’m not feeling great tonight. I don’t know if its my fault or not. I just know I don’t feel well. 
College is right around the corner. It seems like senior year began yesterday. 
All of the people ive known for 14 years and all of the people I truelly believe are my friends are gonna be hitting “The Bomb” pretty soon. That’s my description of going to college. Every one explodes and splashes so very far away. People I’ve known for years. Ill never see again. People always seem to have such busy lives in the summer. And I always seem to be the last one called or the first one on the “do not call” list. Guess they wont miss me much. 
Is it okay to be sad when you have nothing to complain about. I have a home. A family that loves me. Plenty of food and water. Clothes. Education. Living in a country that doesn’t totally suck. I’m white, male, and american. I was born into the most privileged people in the world. I have nothing to complain about compared to almost all people. 
So why do I feel so sad. Why does there have to be sadness. Why does their have to be privilege. Why does just being white and a man make me any better than any other type of person on this earth. Because I can rattle off many women who have brighter futures than I. I can label by name many African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Chinese, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender (even some who are a combo of all) who have amazing stuff coming their way. Why do I automatically get a boost in life because I was born this way. What makes me better than anyone else because I can guarantee that all of the “minority” groups have people I know that could out do me in a heart beat.
No one needs to be better than another by birth. Everything needs to be equal from the ground up. So that way we get the true meaning of individual achievement. 
Sometimes shit happens. It just seems for me it hits like a train. It hits and I end up not sleeping because writing to Tumblr at 1:00 in the morning keeps me from painting red with a silver brush. I’m surprised at how well being around people keeps me numb. Then when I’m alone...
Its awkward because being alone is much better to me than being with people. Even with people I’m comfortable around.
I doubt loud, obnoxious, freshman me, would have ever imagined himself in less than five years being me now. 
I wouldn’t have connected with Charlie as much as a freshman as I do right now. Because as a freshman I shared nothing with Charlie.
In five years I managed to go from being his polar opposite to, to quite literally, frighteningly similar.
Back then I didn’t know it was social anxiety that made me obnoxious. But now that I have a name and a few other problems to throw into the mix. I’m glad I was so ignorant. Because life was easier to bear when you were just annoying.

vanderpump rules, season five, episode fourteen: so... sandoval’s committed to that hairstyle, eh?
I AM DEAD FROM THE GET GO.
KATIE FUCKED UP THE WEDDING INVITATIONS.
KATIE DONE FUCKED UP THE WEDDING INVITES, Y’ALL.
She spent $18.50 on each one of those “tea towels”/dish rags/thing you use to pick up bugs you’ve crushed under books that she’s trying to fool us all into thinking are chic1 and she forgot to put a space for people’s names on the RSVP, so the entire opening of the show is a damn guessing game as to who’s attending their wedding. Katie also wears a bandana that just reminds me of Avril Lavigne, and we get a little talk about how each of the Toms draws their respective penises.
Kristen comes in, and it’s time to rehash the events of HRH DJ James Kennedy’s show, and Kristen pretty much admits she went there to start shit. She calls it “eat popcorn and watch fireworks”, but she very clearly and very obviously went there for a) camera time and b) to rile up a person who is easily riled. I HATE DEFENDING JAMES. The conversation transitions quickly to Scheana, and how they all feel like since she and Ariana are friendly again, she’s begun distancing herself from the rest of them. Do you blame her, though? Y’all are terrible to her and only treat her with a modicum of decency when you need someone on your side. Katie still has an issue with the way Ariana treated Stassi at the Drunken Painting Event2 and honestly, shows some hilarious hypocrisy here. I mean, it’s Katie, so that’s to be expected. She says Ariana needs to “fall in line”, like she’s fucking Stassi from 2013. Tom mentions that they should all settle their beef before they go to New Orleans, but it doesn’t even matter about Ariana because she’ll be hanging out with the guys, primarily. Katie pretty much is like, “Well, if she doesn’t want to get along with everyone, I don’t want her there or at the wedding.” GIRL PLEASE YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T WANT HER IN YOUR WEDDING PARTY IN THE FIRST PLACE, it’s not Ariana’s obligation to want to hang out with you.
Speaking of Ariana, it’s officially time for the Why Does Lisa Vanderpump Need To Know This segment of the episode, featuring Jax “I Barely Survived Prohibition” Taylor, and … Scheana. Apparently Tom Sandoval is re-entering the modeling world, and Ariana’s baffled by the idea of dating a male model. Ariana is officially Christine Taylor’s character from Zoolander, a connection I’m shocked it took me this long to make. Jax pretends that he was there to see James perform, and remains wonderfully aloof. He pretty much admits - yeah, he’s going to make James’s life hell simply because he doesn’t like him. Jax Taylor, who is 80, is going after a 25 year old man because he just doesn’t like him. What is WRONG with these people?
God, I love this soap opera.
Tom&Tom head over to Joe Simpson[^3]’s house for a photoshoot - WHAT? - because Tom needs photos for an agency to prove that he’s still got what it takes to be America’s Next Top Model3. They talk about Katie and Ariana, and basically agree that what’s going on between them is bullshit, but neither side backs down - except Sandoval, just slightly, by telling Schwartz he’ll talk to Ariana about being more polite. I watched the photoshoot through my fingers, because photoshoots on reality TV are notoriously awkward. I can’t keep my eyes off Tom’s lace front. I don’t even want to mention Joe Simpson. Isn’t Tom like, 10 years older than Joe Simpson’s target demographic?
This show becomes more and more like Zoolander every time I watch it.
James and his doll with dying batteries/girlfriend Raquel go to Bruhaus and sit outside and somehow they have a waitress with a voice as annoying as Raquel’s. James and Raquel talk about the previous night’s events, and Raquel makes him promise that he’s been faithful to her, which he does, and we all know that’s a crock. This will come back to us at some point. I spent this entire scene yelling RAQUEL LET YOUR WORDS OUT PLEASE. She admits that she has a hard time trusting him when she’s up at school, and he doesn’t do the best job of convincing her of such.
Jax and Brittany decide to go to church, and I’m shocked Jax doesn’t go up in flames upon entering a church. Everything I know about religion I learned from Sister Act and Dogma, so I just assume when fallen angels go into a church, it brings on the end of humanity4. Jax wears a suit, pretends he knows how to be a decent person, and asks what frankincense is. It’s something you could use instead of steroids, Jax. How about that? At church, they’re celebrating anger and preaching about taking accountability for your actions towards others. Brittany, who doesn’t know what “irony” is, points out how ironic it is that Jax is here on this day. How timely! Jax hopes going to church one time will be enough to get Brittany and her mom on his side again, because moving a girl across the country and getting angry that she adapted to her surroundings is equivalent to going to church one time.
Stassi’s at her mom’s house in Lake Arrowhead, where she’s helping her after her full hysterecto5 and making her disgusting breakfast. Her mom is happy because it means Stassi will finally have to take care of someone besides herself for once. Nikolai, Stassi’s little brother, lets Katie in and is immediately going to Nikolai for advice. It’s so weird they’re going to a 12 year old for advice, but Stassi is rightful to feel guilty for separating Nikolai and Patrick after their breakup. Letting anyone into your life is hard, and letting them get close to those you love is harder because all relationships are delicate and can end at any time. Stassi admits that she needs to be alone for a bit, and Nikolai doesn’t 100% understand that. Stassi sobs, and Nikolai comforts her - something I’m pretty sure he’s used to. Very, very used to.
Sandoval and James go and get tea6 and discuss the Night At The Redbury shenanigans - James thinks it’s flattering that GG wants to go out of her way to prove they slept together, and continues to deny it happened, even though Tom is like “dude, it happened. Just admit it.” It really does seem like it happened. James is the anti-Jax: he refuses to admit truths about himself, but is more than happy to perpetuate lies about other people. James is such garbage.
Peter/Ray Romano is producing an eight-minute short sci-fi film, because he’s convinced that for some reason, anyone will give him $100 million for a first feature7, even if it is a sci-fi one. Tom Sandoval is involved, of course, because this episode should really be called Tom Sandoval Is A Hustler Like Lisa Rinna. They put Tom Sandoval in front of a green screen in broad daylight and basically wrap him in fabric the way I did at every toga party I went to in college.8 He can barely get his lines correct, and he’s hoping this will lead to Peter being the next James Cameron and making the next Avatar. Please, god, no. Do we need another Blue Dances With Wolves? I know we’re getting Blue Fern Gully 2 and Blue Pocahontas 3 in a few years, but I don’t think Peter’s going to be James Cameron. It’s a wrap, and Ariana and Tom get to talking. Ariana doesn’t give any fucks about Katie being worried about her behavior, and doesn’t see anything worth apologizing for, which she doesn’t. Tom advises her to be a little nicer in her delivery, and Ariana says she’s not one to sugarcoat. And neither am I.9
We’re at Villa Rosa, where Scheana is meeting with Pandora10 and Lisa Vanderpump, where they’ve come to raid for booze for Katie’s bridal shower? Didn’t they just have one of those for her? Anyway, Pandora’s throwing it. Scheana immediately starts throwing shade about Katie’s attitude, which both Pandora and Lisa try to write off as just “bridal jitters”, and Scheana’s like, “nah, that doesn’t give you the right to be an absolute monster.” I’m gonna get vertigo with how much this show wants me to flip flop on these people, I swear. Lisa doesn’t understand why Katie’s being so mean to Scheana, and waves a dog around for the entirety of this exchange. She must have the strongest arms in the world.
Schwartz meets with the rest of the grooms...people? I don’t know what to call them since Ariana’s there, so I’ll just say “groomsmen” for the sake of it all. They order Jameson picklebacks11 and beers and decide they’re going to go full drag for a night, because they want to know if they would have sex with themselves if they were woman. Jax is game, but only if he can be a SuicideGirl type, which to me, is horrific. Tom denies any homoeroticism between any of the guys, and we’re greeted with a lovely montage of Jax humping men, Jax dressed as a cowboy, Jax snuggling with the Toms. Nothing homoerotic about it, right? Schwartz brings up what went down between Ariana and Stassi, and basically says Stassi was super upset and Ariana was too harsh. Ariana doesn’t think she should apologize - again, because she shouldn’t - but does agree to go to Stassi and try to smooth things over.
Pandora’s house looks like Dirk Diggler’s house in Boogie Nights, but she’s set up a great spread for Katie’s second bridal shower. Stassi basically looks like she’s about to shit herself with Ariana arrives, but they go to ooh and ahh over Pandora’s house that Lisa Vanderpump clearly paid for. Y’all - this is what happens when you both have rich parents and are responsible with your money. Oh, this is a “spa day” party, that’s the theme. They’re getting massages. I want a fucking massage. Meanwhile, Ariana, Stassi, Pandora, get glycolic hand peels whilst Katie, Kristen, and Brittany get massages. Scheana tries to smooth things over between Ariana and Stassi, which leads to Ariana having my favorite line of the night:
Stassi: “She’s the one that doesn’t like me.” [Ariana and Stassi both laugh]
Ariana (in her talking head): “I’m laughing because it’s funny, and it’s funny because it’s true.”
Scheana wants Ariana to apologize, and both Ariana and Stassi don’t want an apology because they both know it would be disingenuous. Stassi knows Ariana doesn’t like her, and she just doesn’t want Ariana to make it so obvious when they’re around each other - not a crazy request. Ariana agrees to have a more open mind and that she just wants to have fun. They both just want to have fun, so shit seemed smooth with the two of them.
The ladies sit down to a gorgeous lunch, and Katie of course rekindles the argument that was just settled. Stassi and Ariana both admit to not wanting apologies, and Katie gets all passive-aggressive and basically says “It would make me feel better if you just apologized.” She throws her wedding around and “can’t stand to have negativity around” during that time. Girl, have you looked at yourself and your life and your choices? Scheana is pissed off because she tried to smooth things over between Stassi and Ariana for Katie, and Katie’s still unhappy with the results, even though Stassi and Ariana are. Katie mentions how upset she was that Scheana told her about the bridal shower drama, and that she feels like Scheana’s pulling away from her, and Scheana’s like “Well, I’m tired of waking up to abusive text messages from you every morning.” Katie then sums up both herself and why she’s terrible in one line: “It’s harsh, it’s mean, it’s my truth.” She then says she’s tired of being called insubordinate, which is the correct term, but still feels wrong in this context. Scheana tries to point out that Katie’s a mean drunk and is basically being gaslit in the worst way. Katie refuses to take accountability and basically is like “Why can’t I be mean when I’m drunk if you deserve it?” and says people are calling Scheana fake, anyway, so what does it matter. What this boils down to is Katie is pissed that Scheana can take the high road while Katie remains going low constantly, and Katie calls that Scheana trying to be “perfect". Katie just wants everyone to go for the jugular when it comes to her, and doesn’t like that Scheana is capable of being a decent person at times. Scheana throws her napkin and runs out, and Pandora is sitting there like “WHY DID I DO THIS?” Scheana, in the bathroom, finally admits what we’ve been saying all along - Katie doesn’t like her, she’s just trying to pad her #GirlSquad for her wedding. Katie claims her wedding events have been tainted by assholes (herself) and tries to sound like the fucking Godfather when she says “I will fuck you up” if you turn on her. She just sounds like a psychopath.
Katie and Scheana talk about how Scheana feels like she’s always doing something wrong with Katie, and Katie, who locked her Twitter because she couldn’t handle valid criticism, says that she calls people out when they’re wrong, and that it’s okay to call her out. Is that not what Scheana was just doing? They kiss and make up, and it’s sad because Katie is a garbage bag full of toenail clippings and Scheana just wants to be on television.
Jax goes to meet Lisa in the Sexy Unique Restaurant to both get paid and also to ask if the boys can borrow gowns from her. She’s horrified, especially at the insinuation she might have costume jewelry, but agrees. The boys head over to Villa Rosa to try on Lisa’s jewelry and underwear. Jax and Sandoval are in AWE over Lisa’s apartment/closet that I am salivating in envy over. Tom Sandoval is putting on every single piece of Lisa’s jewelry, and Jax comes out wearing one of Lisa’s dresses with the neckline down to his bellybutton12. Jax calls Givenchy “Ga-vinch-y”, of course, and Tom wears a bra and the best sunglasses I’ve ever seen. This scene is much less horrific than I thought, considering.
Tom and Katie are out to dinner, and Schwartz is ordering salt-and-vinegar french fries13 and Katie’s ordering tequila on the rocks, as per usual. This is their relationship in a nutshell: potatoes and vodka. Tom’s already wearing his wedding ring, and says he’ll take it off around hot girls, which Katie is unamused by. He asks her how Pandora’s was, and immediately says that Ariana was nervous because of Katie’s reaction to her, and the fact that Tom now has an idea about both sides of the story, and accuses Katie of not being objective. Katie immediately goes on the defense, accuses Tom of taking Ariana’s side and accuses Ariana of casting a shadow over the entire event, and continues to say “It’s my fucking day”, reaffirming the truth - Katie wants to get married to say she got married and to win, not because she’s in love. She cries and calls Ariana self-centered and elitist, which is rich coming from Katie. And Tom calls it as it is: Ariana is more emotionally mature than Katie could ever wish to be, and is self-aware enough to know when something should be settled. Tom loses any support he had from me by passive-aggressively saying “I should have known better than to say anything that doesn’t agree with your opinion.” I get his intention, but he doesn’t have to be so self-loathing about it. Katie does what Katie does and walks out on him AGAIN, and this time he doesn’t run after her. He shouldn’t. Katie really should be ashamed of herself.
Next Week: Katie’s going to explode, Jax doesn’t like the tension, James is back working for Lisa, they get beaded in New Orleans, everyone gets drunk, Katie gets hit in the face with something finally, and Stassi and Jax talk about their relationship.
SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR THE BACHELOR I PROMISE.
Random Thoughts From The Desk of Amanda:
I really hate that I like the length of Katie’s nails. Like, they’re short but pointy. I want them on me but I don’t want them because Katie has them.
I get that Schwartz, Lisa, and Sandoval hate Stassi, but it really does seem like they all blame Katie’s bad behaviors on her, as if Katie’s incapable of being an asshole otherwise. Nah, she’s always been terrible.
I miss Lala.
Why is Carter a groomsman?
Another “Why Did Tom And Katie Get Married?” theory: the idea of getting your wedding called off on national TV is humiliating, but they really should have called it off at this point in the season.
Kristen’s scary nodding when Katie was like “It’s my day, it’s about me.” Oh my god.
I loved that Jax struggled with “transvestite”. He’s constantly showing his age.
Linguistics joke: I’m really tempted to always call Tom Schwartz “Tommy Schwa”, but using ə as his last name - “Tommy ə”. That is a joke that wouldn’t land.
Katie is probably a Pinterest nightmare. ↩︎
My names are slowly but surely becoming less interesting. ↩︎
Listen to my podcast! ↩︎
Then again, Donald Trump is president, so. Jax, look at what you fucking did. ↩︎
WHY IS THIS SCENE NOT ON YOUTUBE? Happy Endings is the best show you never watched. ↩︎
And from the looks of it, Sandoval pays. LOLOLOLOL. ↩︎
I can hear my boyfriend screaming and laughing, and he’s not even near me as I’m watching this. ↩︎
i.e, with zero finesse or attempt to make it look decent. ↩︎
It is not my obligation to make you feel comfortable. ↩︎
Who is wearing a Boy George hat. Man, he is having a great 2017. ↩︎
Why would you do this to Jameson. ↩︎
The bra is gone! ↩︎
Did you know if you like salt and vinegar, you probably like the taste of blood? ↩︎
