KBTBB - Forever a Family with the Baddest Bidder
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cheers to the 10th anniversary of KBTBB and Eisukes upcoming birthday!
It's been a decade, and he's been one of the faces of Voltage for a long time, so it's like the end of an era now that every bidders story finally reached his conclusion. They are happily married and their children got to see the light of day. In the new story of Eisuke, Eito himself is almost old enough to be a LI himself. (Is this a sign Voltage?)
Even if not everyone was a fan of the series, it does make you a bit emotional if not nostalgic if you think that the title finally reached it's end. In the japanese version at least. It will take a few more months before we'll get the last stories translated as well.
I personally love how Otas, Babas and Mamorus pictures feature the MC as well as she always seems to brighten the images. Especially Otas looks magical with all the flower petals. But it's also hilarious how Eisuke carries his child like a sack of potatoes.
Here's a small compilation of everyones kids:
Eisuke: Eito, Kaito, Yuu (possibly a 4th child in the making?)
Soryu: Ryusei
Ota: Hinata
Baba: Moa
Mamoru: Nodoka
Not in the pictures but Luke, Hikaru, Shuichi and Mad Hatter got kids as well:
Luke: Yuri
Hikaru: Akari
Shuichi: Kikyo
Mad Hatter: Rui & Kai
Anyways happy new year and here's for an exciting journey ahead of us!

20 Days With Voltage!
Hello, everyone! So, I came across this (kinda) old picture with "15 Day Voltage Inc Challenge" and I decided that I wanted to re-created it and do my own version!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I thought that it might be funny to start this kind of game since everyone here has some  experiences and memories with Voltage and it may be nice to share it with us! I think I'm going to do it as well in near future. Anyway, they are no rules, really - you can do on one go or answer each question day by day, do as you want. If you decide to join the game, it would've been nice if you add "20 days with voltage" hashtag, so others can see your choices! There's no need to tag me/or participate, if you don't want to! Just have fun 💕

Getting to Know You
Fandom:  In Your Arms Tonight
Pairing: Kippei Ebihara
Warning: Slight mention of sex 
Genre: Fluff
Word Count: 890 
Written by: @foxystar-writes
 She was at the bar with Mr. Ebihara after a successful day at the office. They both felt happily buzzed “ Tell me about yourself Mr. Ebihara” He smiled “ It’s Kippei, call me Kippei when we aren’t at work. what do you want to know?” “ hahaha, it feels like we are on a blind date or something.” He laughed along with her “ Well what do you do for fun, what are your hobbies?”
He sat there and pondered as she had finished off her second Tom Collins. “ I like to garden. Did you know plants grow when you speak to them because you are releasing oxygen.” She smirked “ You are an interesting man Kippei. You are so different at work.” He smiled bashfully She looked at her watch, it was awfully late. “ Thank you for joining me tonight, but I probably should go.” He nodded “ let me walk you.” She shook her head “ no, no it’s okay I’ll be okay.” He frowned. “ At least let me walk you to the train station.” She smiled shyly “ okay” 
She stood and stumbled into his chest and he had to grab the back of the chair so he didn’t tumble over with her. “ I think we are quite drunk.” He laughed, She nodded and laughed “ I can’t go home like this, I’ll have to stay in a hotel tonight.” He looked concerned “ I want to help you get checked in I can’t in good conscience leave you in this state unless I know you are safe.” She giggled “Kippei, you are a worrywart.” He smiled, she straightened the collar on his shirt. “Well you’re intoxicated I’m going to worry.” She nodded her head in acceptance “ Here hold onto my arm so you don’t fall.” She blushed a deep red “ okay” They walked slowly to the hotel with her holding onto his arm, laughing at nothing in particular. Feeling pleasantly drunk. Once they arrived at the hotel Kippei insisted that he help her to her room. Once they got to the room he turned on the light and closed the door. She let go of his arm and looked into his eyes “ You Kippei Ebihara are a nice man.” She said as she tapped his nose. Something inside him snapped. He stroked her hair and put it behind her ear. With her heart beating furiously and her breathing quickening his warm lips crashed onto hers. She stiffened for a moment then relaxed threading her fingers through his dark hair at the nape of his neck. He backed her up to the bed and hovered over her as he explored her mouth with his tongue. He broke the kiss and leaned down next to her ear “I’ll show you how a man is supposed to love a woman.” She gasped but pulled his head to her lips again. She didn’t care what happened after this, it had been so long since she had been touched or even wanted by a man. She has been talked down to for so long that Kippei telling her he wants her was making her heart soar. The next morning the sun filtering in felt warm on her exposed shoulder. She pulled up the blanket and turned around, that’s when she saw. He was laying on his stomach with the blanket covering his hips but leaving the upper half of his body exposed. “ Mr. Ebihara?” She whispered. “ That was when everything came rushing back to her, she put a hand over her mouth “ Oh my god!” She said as quietly as she could, but looking at him she remembered it all she remembered the gentle way he would kiss her, and how he made sure she was fully satisfied. She had never been made love to quite so passionately. She couldn’t believe she was thinking about that when she knew she should be concerned that she had slept with her boss. She heard a groan coming home from his side of the bed. He fluttered his eyes open and seemed surprised at first, but then smiled “ Good morning beautiful.” He said as he took her hand and kissed the top of it. She smiled, but her smiled dropped the second he flopped over and she noticed a big deep red bruise on his neck. “ Kippei I don’t know how you’re going to cover that up.” She said as she touched the spot that she had left during their intense lovemaking. “ I’m sorry, it’s just been so long since anyone has touched me.” He shook his head “ Don’t apologize, you have no idea how long I’ve been in love with you _ _ _.” He blushed and looked away “ What?” He took a deep breath “ Since you transferred to our department I had noticed how sad you looked all the time, so I’d check on you throughout the day, eventually, I fell for you without even realizing it. I love you _ _ _ .” She grinned “ I think we’ve both been hiding our emotions because I love you too Kippei, and have for a while.” He kissed her lightly on her lips and cupped her cheek when he pulled away he rubbed her cheek with his thumb. “ I want to be with you Kippei and only you.” He kissed her head “always my love, I’ll always be here.”

Merry Smutmas ~ Genji
Fandom: In Your Arms Tonight (Love 365)
Pairing: Genji x Reader
“You’re like, really pretty.” Genji smiled, taking a sip from the shot of liquor in front of him. “You’re the sexiest reindeer I’ve ever seen,” he added, referring to the ugly Christmas sweater you were wearing, which included a hood with attached antlers to make you look like Rudolph. It was supposed to be a Christmas party, held at a local bar just down the road from yours and Genji’s apartment, but thanks to inclement weather, there were only a handful of people willing to battle the snow, and many of those who came were starting to head home for the night.
Gently sliding the glass out of his reach, you crinkled your nose in amusement at his tipsy state. “You’re getting cut off because we have to walk home, and alcohol plus freezing temperatures isn’t a great combination.”
His face redder than normal thanks to beer earlier in the night, he pouted dramatically. “My girlfriend’s so responsible, I love it.”
The laughter bubbled out of you, leaning your head against his shoulder. “Okay, come on, it’s time to go.”
“Ooh, bossy, that’s hot.”
Rolling your eyes at him, you said your goodbyes to your friends and put on your coat before walking out into the frigid night, Genji following close behind. What had started as a light dusting of snow earlier in the evening had now turned into about six inches, something you were never quite prepared to deal with. It should have been a five minute walk, but the snowdrifts covering the sidewalk turned it into a much more arduous journey. By the time that you reached the apartment, Genji was mostly sobered up.
After opening the front door and hanging your jacket and scarf on the coatrack, you threw yourself on the couch, turning on the tv. Genji quickly joined you, resting his head on your lap and kicking his legs out onto the coffee table. “What are we watching?”
“Elf, that’s the only interesting thing on.” You were fiddling with Genji’s hair as you watched the movie when suddenly the TV and lights went out. “Shit, is that the power?”
Genji clambered off the couch, hitting some buttons on the remote and flipping the light switch, but to no avail. “Yup, it looks like we’re without electricity for the night, the storm must have downed a power line or something.”
You were informed from the electric company that they didn’t expect for power to be restored for at least 24-48 hours. Apparently, the local utility companies were not prepared for heavy winter storms, and so their repair crews were stretched a little thin.
Sighing, you glanced at the thermostat, which luckily was still staying steady at 70 degrees. You both jumped into action, gathering every blanket and comforter from around the house. “Right now, we’re okay, but we’re not going to have heating for a while. Until then, we just have to find other ways to stay warm.” You said.
“Well, I can think of something that will both occupy our time and also keep us warm.” He smirked.
You rolled your eyes at his insinuation, but it wasn’t long until he had you pressed against a wall, hands tangled in your hair, and lips hot on your skin. “You’re so, so, so gorgeous,” he murmured, words muffled by your skin.
“I think you need to work on your creativity with compliments,” you laughed, seeing a flush rise yet again in your boyfriend’s cheeks as you stripped off your sweater and bra.
Genji pulled away long enough to scowl playfully at you as his own shirt joined yours on the floor. “Excuse me, I’m just trying to show my girlfriend how much I love her.”
Quirking an eyebrow at him, you used a hand on his shoulder to lightly push him downwards. “I can think of a better way to show me that.”
As he knelt on the floor, his hands made quick work of your jeans and socks, his lips trailing soft kisses along your hip bones and stomach. He mouthed at your clothed core before letting the fabric fall to the floor, hooking one of your legs over his shoulder to give him the best access. His eyes locked with yours as his tongue danced lightly over your folds, alternating pressure and motions.
Your head leaned back against the wall, eyes fluttering shut as Genji’s tongue traced shapes and letters over the sensitive skin. “Baby, open your eyes, I want to see you looking at me.”
Genji watched as you listened to his request, your eyes back on him. He loved being in this position, between your legs, listening to the soft mewls of pleasure coming from you as he continued to work his mouth against your center. With every swipe of his tongue over your clit, your hips jerked against him, until he had to hook his arms underneath you, holding you steady.
He made a deep rumbling sound in his chest as your hand ran through his hair, yanking a little whenever something felt particularly good. His lips closed over your clit, as you let out a breathy whimper. “Yes, Genji, yes.”
When his tongue flicked harshly against your clit, you felt yourself pushing back into the wall, trying to remain upright. “Please, Genji, I need you.” He looked up from his ministrations, raising his eyebrows a little at you, but he wasn’t planning to stop until you were coming undone on his tongue, doubling his efforts.
His hands came up to grab handfuls of your ass, pulling you harder against his face, the taste of you intoxicating and addicting. You could feel him smile against your folds as your legs began to shake uncontrollably, Genji’s grasp on you the only thing keeping you upright. With your hands desperately trying to find purchase on the wall, arching your back, you came hard on his tongue.
Instead of moving away, however, Genji continued to lick against the soft skin of your folds through your orgasm, feeling you quake against him as he teased your sensitive core. Your hand still in his hair, you tried to pull him back to his feet, but he simply moved back slightly, chin and lips glistening with your essence, and said, “I want you to come at least twice on my tongue, can you do that?”
As desperate as you were to have him inside you, you were even more eager to please him. After all, it was nearly impossible to say no to that face when he was looking up at you from between your legs. Nodding you watched as he buried his face back in your pussy, feasting like it was his last meal on Earth, caring about nothing more than making a mess of you. Genji went down on you like it was for his pleasure, not yours, and tonight was no exception.
This time around, he added his hands, using his thumb to stimulate your clit as his tongue played with your entrance, humming against your pussy and sending vibrations through your entire body. It didn’t take long for you to come a second time, fire pulsing through your veins as you quivered and shuddered, his name falling from your lips like a prayer.
With one leg still slung over his shoulder, you felt your other leg begin to give out, exhausted from supporting your weight. Genji quickly noticed your discomfort and helped you down to the floor, letting you relax momentarily on the pile of blankets strewn haphazardly on the floor as his own pants and boxers were swiftly discarded.
“Come on, sit up,” he coaxed, letting you climb into his lap, lowering yourself onto his hard cock as your knees went to either side of his hips. You could hear his loud exhale as he bottomed out, grinding against you. There was no rush in your movements, tonight was about just taking your time enjoying each other’s bodies. His lips traced every line in your skin, skimming across your jawline, down your neck, and across your collarbone.
As his mouth moved ever lower, you arched into his touch, giving him full access. He ran his tongue slowly across the swell of your breast, relishing the way you squirmed and whined under his touch. Burying his face in your chest, you could feel his breath, hot against your skin, which was already burning up with every move he made.
You could feel him speak, the soft vibrations carrying through your chest, but it wasn’t until he lifted his head that you could hear the words. “I love you so much,” he mumbled, lips on yours before the words were even fully out of his mouth.
“I love you, too,” you replied, every word punctuated by a soft kiss. The moon, rising high in the sky, was the only source of light in the room, bathing everything in its soft glow, creating an even more intimate feel to the moment.
You let your hips roll lazily against him, feeling his cock twitch within you as he grew closer and closer, finally leaning you back a little so that he could slip a hand between your bodies, using two fingers to rub small circles on your clit. “I want you to come with me, are you close?”
“Yes, I’m almost there,” you gasped out, as he applied a little more pressure to the small bundle of nerves. With a few more languid movements, you were tumbling over the edge, your forehead pressed to his as your mouth opened in a silent “o.” His groan reverberated through the room as he found his own release, his body just collapsing into yours as you both lay back and caught your breath.
Lying naked on the ground, you both bathed in the warm post-sex afterglow, but it didn’t take long until the chill began to creep into the house, leaving you both scrambling to put clothes back on before diving underneath the sea of blankets.
Genji wrapped his arms around you, keeping you as close to him as physically possible to feel even the slightest semblance of warmth. “If we die of frostbite tonight, there’s no one else I’d rather be with.”
You couldn’t hold back the laughter that left your mouth at your boyfriend’s dramatics. “We’re not going to die! But I do agree that you’re the only person I want to spend power outages with.”

What are your top 5 worst voltage routes?
oh damn this is a tough one haha. i’ve definitely played routes that i find average/forgettable but it’s hard to think of 5 routes that i thought were actually bad. except for one which i’m sure anyone who has followed me for a few years knows about lmao
i was just gonna give brief reasons but then as i was typing this out i couldn’t stop my loudass brain from rambling so... sorry for all the commentary lol. i do want to preface this by saying that these are more critiques of the writing than the characters (except shinobu haha i despise him). i love many of these characters and have enjoyed their epilogues/sequels/substories. my main gripe with most of these is just underdeveloped, jarring or flimsy character and relationship development, which to me makes the process of falling in mutual love unconvincing. that’s why all of these are main stories because they are about the critical moments of falling in love (rather than future developments such as tackling conflicts together) which i think are the foundation to any further growth. so please don’t take any of this personally if any of the guys i’ve mentioned here are characters that you love!
5. main story: takane momochi - destind: mr almost right
so this is more a case of “love the guy, don’t love the route”. i have to admit that i really wasn’t big on takane at first and then i got to the end of the route and realised that i actually didn’t love the mc. i actually quite like the destind mc in rei and araya’s routes but omg takane’s route is weird. i have no problem with takane kind of being a jerk and i actually really like him but i have a couple of issues with this route. the first is that i don’t really understand nor buy into the reason that they keep seeing each other. the mc learns about takane’s true nature and finds him kind of despicable but then decides that she’s definitely gonna make him fall in love with her, which as a plot point on its own i’m fine with but the way thy go into that discussion is really weird because it arises from the mc being appalled that takane had an affair with some teacher when he was a teenager and somehow leads into that discussion. basically i don’t think that the whole “i’m gonna make you fall in love with me” vs “i’m gonna make you sleep with me” challenge is set up particularly organically. 
it also occurs about halfway through the route which i don’t really think works in term of the pacing because within the shape of the narrative i would call it the end of act 1. act 2 would be them genuinely getting closer and then act 3 would be the conflict that develops between them which results in their breakup. with the structure of takane’s route, acts 2 and 3 essentially become crammed into the remaining half of the chapters, which makes the conflict in act 3 feel confusing and abrupt. i think it would have been more effective if they had set up the personality reveal earlier on in the route and then spent more time developing the budding incompatibilities which lead to the breakup-inducing argument.
the second issue that i have with this route is the mc’s lack of development/not addressing the actual mistakes that she makes with regards to how she sees takane. the mc suffers from idolising syndrome because she’s built takane up into this perfect prince in her mind (i guess kind of like with hiroki from mlfk) even though he’s a regular old (substantially) flawed dude who struggles with the pressure of external expectations bc people don’t see the ~real him~. this is all well and good and is set up to allow the mc to accept his flaws and see him as a real human being but instead she’s just like “your flaws aren’t really flaws, they’re just another example of why you’re perfect bc you engage with them!” SIS. he’s not a character that needs validation in that way bc everyone already thinks he’s perfect. he needs someone who can see that he’s FAULTY and help him through it, not just pass off his flaws and the way he deals with them as another point of admiration. destind mc isn’t even like old school perma-optimistic voltage mcs either, she’s a little more prone to judgement so i wish she (and the writing) engaged a little more with takane’s flaws and accepting them rather than just jumping straight to YOU’RE MY HERO. 
as a character i actually prefer him to araya but the fact that i was more convinced to love araya aka mr possessive liar himself is saying something about the story. 
4. main story: genji higashiyama - in your arms tonight
i don’t have much to say in detail because it’s been like 6+ years since i played his route and frankly i don’t remember the details, but i just remember that he was kind of a jackass and i expected better. i love ex-boyfriend/hatsukoi love interests but just didn’t really like his route. 
to quote from an old comment i once made: 
“omg i thought genji had so much potential bc hot exboyf soccer player hellooooo but he was just such a jerk, he really p-ed me off :<” 
“i kind of don’t like genji because he is a bit of a doucheypants and like really arrogant and a bit of a bully :/”
i remember the mc slapped him once after they made out which i don’t remember the context for but he probably deserved it. i was extra sad because i actually really liked him in soji’s route but he’s the team B guy in that one so......... thanks voltage. also he was a dick to everyone’s sweetheart aiba. i actually like him way more after his ms lol? conceptually i love him but his main story made me sad. 
3. main story: satoru kamagiri - 10 days with my devil
i mean this one was bad but i’m weirdly fond of satoru? i have no issues with sadists and i kind of like him (after having read substories). but this route was weird and the pacing felt a bit off to me. basically i have no idea what made him fall in love with the mc?
because i guess he starts being nice to you when he has to nurse you when you get sick and he genuinely feels bad and cares about you but do you really expect me to believe he was already in love with you when he made a date with you but decided to go hang out with other women leaving you standing in the rain for 6 hours? nah fam.
i also don’t remember what the climax of the story even is because i’m still hung up on being left waiting for him in the rain for 6 hours while he goes other women so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2. main story: seiji goto - my sweet bodyguard
i’ve talked a lot about the issues i have with this route (including a couple thousand words of review here) but i’ll just summarise. this is definitely another case of love the guy, don’t love the route. in the GREE version, you meet him from the first time at the beginning of his route and gradually learn about his past, but in the standalone app version, you basically get thrown into the route with no exposition, meaning that you have to already have prior knowledge of goto and his backstory. i had known about it so it wasn’t as confusing as it could have been, but you really just get tossed into the mix expecting to already know about kazuki (goto’s dead ex). plus he’s already nice to you from the start because you’ve known each other for a while so there’s less of the actual seeing his behaviour change bit (which is my favourite part of all main stories - in case you couldn’t tell because all of my criticisms about routes are about lack of proper relationship development). kazuki and goto’s relationship is basically the thing that underpins the entire narrative of the route which is why i find it an issue that you don’t get much insight into it going into the route blind. 
it’s difficult to feel like goto and the mc are actually gradually getting closer in the route because it doesn’t feel like there’s one narrative line that’s building throughout the entire route as much as separate events, more or less. she just... looks after goto a lot? also basically goto is interested in you because you remind him of kazuki and when he starts to like you, it’s not actually very evident in his actions - you find this out because kurosawa basically tells you lmao. 
i actually wanted to leave him and date subaru because honestly subaru in goto’s route especially reads like a much healthier relationship option, but then goto runs in and interrupts a date with subaru and drags you straight off to kazuki’s tombstone and then... it’s a happy ending? his confession feels like it comes out of nowhere because his behaviour towards you doesn’t explicitly change but you just have to believe he likes you now as he confesses in front of his ex-gf’s grave and tells her he’ll see her soon. come on bruv you can do better than this lol. 
1. main story: shinobu narita - serendipity next door
this guy fucking sucks, dude. i can’t think of even one single redeeming quality he has. he’s the reason i stopped playing voltage games for like years and went on hiatus and more or less abandoned my blog until i discovered scm. i know there was a lot of controversy about whether or not he could be considered abusive and i threw that word around a lot back in the day when i liveblogged his route but DAMN at the very least he is just the WORST. the mc wakes up in his bed after getting wasted at a rooftop party and he convinces her that they had sex when she was drunk and then blackmails her into being his girlfriend by threatening to tell the entire apartment block that they slept together. he proceeds to snoop around in all her business, maliciously making fun of her and her work at every single chance he gets (he literally RIFLES THROUGH HER BAG to find her work and mock her about it) and then she looks at one document or picture of his and he gets all uppity about it because he’s a big ol hypocrite. basically he hates the mc because she’s so pure and he’s jaded because one time he confessed to someone and she ghosted him? so he deliberately acts nice to her sometimes so she’ll let her guard down and then follows it up with a common or action so malicious i wanted to choke him. all i’m saying is that there are a number of relationships that i never got closure on and it’s never made me want to blackmail a drunk person into dating me so i can mess them up emotionally  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the thing is, i have played other guys who are a bag of suck at first and then get so much better because of character development. and this is what is totally lacking in shinobu’s route. the mc falls in love with him bc of stockholm syndrome... and basically bc omg he’s so sad and damaged and she wants to heal him i guess? it sucks. they literally have no bonding moments where they genuinely connect except for the times when he’s super mean and manipulative to her and and she’s like omg but he’s so saaaaaad uwu. throughout the route, there is absolutely no character development on shinobu’s part, he’s just the same sadistic bastard who enjoys seeing his mc being hurt the whole way through lol but SUDDENLY you guys are in love? but literally at the end the mc tries to escape from him by moving out and instead of letting her go because he’s the worst, he chases her moving truck down? also he’s weirdly possessive even by voltage standards. 
btw this isn’t even just sadists not being my type - you know i adore kaga and eduardo and even people who take ages to warm up (cough shinonome). and you know i love men who tease and manipulate you a bit (because they’re doing it out of a d o r a t i o n not spite) . i also have no problem with outright assholes as long as we see them change, develop and genuinely fall in love. my biggest issue with this route is that i don’t think pity is the same thing as love, or that someone with his personality can get his happy ending without genuinely changing and redeeming himself in some way. i’m not a fan of romanticising guys who are mean to you because they’re so dAmAgEd and want to take it out on you. (the reason i love people like hue is because even though they’re riddled with grief and trauma, they’re mature enough to handle their emotions and you don’t need to fix them!!!) i genuinely think voltage bombed it with this route lol. it almost makes me want to go back and replay it just to see if it was really as bad as i remember but (1) i never transferred it to love 365 (2) it was on my old iphone and i use android now (3) i don’t want to spend money repurchasing a route that i’m 85% sure i’ll feel is a waste of money (4) i spent £2.49 on the route back in the day when voltage was cheaper and i don’t want to spend almost double that now lol. 
also the last time i read his route i abandoned this blog and stopped playing all otome games for a really long time lmao so................................
