#so yeah pretty much have a Ches and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED TO BE BACK OK

[thelittlestcheshire]

Hello! I’m Katie, and this is my muse Ches. If any of you were in Luxor over the summer, you know this pain in the ass so I’m probably gonna do a quick “here’s where this brat was” recap at the bottom, along with anything I’ve changed between that Ches and this Ches! I’m really excited to be back, and I’m really looking forward to roleplaying with everyone.

I also have the habit of writing crazy long bios when I do bother to write them so there’s a tl;dr for that, also some wanted connections at the bottom. I love plotting so if you ever have any ideas, feel free to come excited scream with me here or on Discord! So without further ado ♥

TWs:  Gun Violence / Murder / Death (not by Ches), Blood, Abuse (Relationship), Cheating, Mental Illnesses, Drugs/Alcohol, Overdoses (also not by Ches / did not result in death)

Is that HAILEY CHESHIRE “CHES” ELSWOOD? Wow, they do look a lot like KATHERINE MCNAMARA. I hear SHE is a SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN year old SENIOR who originally attended CARNIFEX Academy. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student. You should watch out because they can be IMPULSIVE and STUBBORN, but on the bright side they can also be ENERGENIC and LOYAL. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself. [KATIE, 23, EST, SHE/HERS]

♥ misc;

Hobbies and Talents: Ches’s main hobbies are playing piano and archery (she forever misses her bow and arrow while she’s at school), as these are also the two things that are best at calming her down. She has an intense love for acting, so it’s not uncommon for her to be one of the first people to sign up for auditions, and she tends to sing a lot so musicals are truly her shit. It’s not uncommon to see her in the library, reading a book late a night.

However, a talent she doesn’t exactly own up to often is her talent for forgeries and lockpicking. While she doesn’t use these skills as they’re intended for often, she does tend to practice them a lot, so she’s not rusty for when they are actually useful.

Pinterest Section // Musings Tag // Playlist (it’s an in general Ches playlist tho)

Ches speaks English and French fluently, her mother was born and raised in Paris so she learnt them both at the same time

DO NOT CALL HER HAILEY unless you really want to end up on her shit list, it’s her biggest pet peeve, she will glare at you for hours.

She’s the mom friend if your mom friend also goes “I HAVE THE BEST IDEA” and drags you into trouble. Literally, the one who frets over you and proceeds to get you into trouble.

This muse does what she wants, I just write it down I apologize always for her

Doesn’t really... seriously date too much because of past situations (Her older brother slept with the first person she truly loved) and she tries to avoid falling in love

That being said platonic I love yous are her shit, she loves her friends a LOT

Ches is very serious about her studying (and wanting to be among the best of the best because - this girl has Ivy league college dreams and she has no intents on fucking those up), so like expect her to do shit like read an entire textbook at the start of school and study at midnight when her insomnia is kicking her ass.

She’s a bit of a closet nerd - if you look under her bed she has a chest of comic books, she’ll just lie if you ask her about them

Ches left Luxor due to a family emergency in October, it was a really hard decision (and it was a really hard decision to come back). She is just now coming back to school.

She got her tattoo while she was away from school, using a forged note of parental consent in New Jersey.

♥ bio;

TWs: Gun Violence, Murder, Death, Blood, Abuse (Relationship), Cheating, Mental Illnesses

Growing up as an Elswood means two things, you have a lot of siblings and a lot of money. Her parents had decided to raise their children in Manhattan, New York, where they could keep a close eye on their multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Her mother, Julia, would take them on trips constantly too - when she wanted to get the children away from the hustle and bustle of the city they’d go to their vacation home upstate, or their private island, or even to visit their family in Paris. At that point in life, Ches was happy. She had a solid group of friends, she had the best friend she could ever imagine having in the form of her twin brother, she had a loving and warm family, and she had a parent who would tell her no.

When she thinks back to her life before the incident, it feels like a completely different story. A fairytale even, perfect and happy in every way compared to her life now. However, it wouldn’t last, after all, fairy tales didn’t exist and reality was a much crueler mistress. One could say Lin-Manuel Miranda described it best; “life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints. It takes and it takes and it takes.”

Everything changed on her eighth birthday when her mother took her out shopping to get a present for twin brother Jonah at Palisades Mall. A man came up with a gun while they were in the parking lot and asked for all of their money. Julia Elswood compiled but she made one mistake, the simple utterance of “Cours, Ches” as she gave the man her purse.

Ches might have gotten out of the event alive, but not she was not unscathed. Julia Elswood was pronounced dead when medics finally arrived on the scene, her blood coating her daughter’s hands and clothing from Ches’s attempts to stop the bleeding. She might have survived the event without physical harm but she was never the same child she was before after that.

One day she had an intact family, the next day the Elswoods were in ruin. Her father completely shut himself out from the family, only coming out for birthdays and holidays. Her oldest brother stepped up as their parental figure, first starting out with homeschooling before he eventually dropped out to ensure his siblings were getting as much of his time as they possibly could. He tried his hardest to make the loss of their mother easier on the younger girls especially, given how young they were at the time. She helped him with the girls as much as she could (and overtime she slowly started filling the role as their second parent). Because of how busy the younger Elswood children kept him, sometimes Logan didn’t have the time to comfort Ches when she woke up in the middle of the night, haunted by their mother.

That was when Emmett stepped in. It wasn’t uncommon for him to sleep on her floor so he’d be there when she woke up terrified out of her mind, and he was there when she just eventually stopped sleeping like people tended to. Over time she realized that Jonah and her weren’t truly two peas in a pod the way they used to be, that Emmett was the only Elswood who truly got her. He wasn’t perfectly normal either, his thoughts and feelings were flawed like hers.

In a family that made her feel so broken at times, Emmett was a saving grace - a reminder she wasn’t alone.

Going to school in Carnifex was an easy decision when you felt so alone at home, at school she found a close group of people she loved and cared about - she felt less alone and less like her family were judging her, and when the feeling came up - she could always toss herself back into her schoolwork and pretend that maybe, just maybe, she was just a normal kid living a normal boring life. Family issues easily bred vulnerability though, and it was that vulnerability that was exploited not long before she was set to start Carnifex.

Long-distance relationships weren't’ supposed to be easy, but when she fell in love for the first time. At the time, she had thought she was as fucked up as she could ever be, that at this point she was just focused on healing the wounds her mother’s death had left in therapy and after that, everything would be fine. James Ruth quickly showed her how mistaken she had been, even now she doesn’t like thinking about everything he had done to her. She doesn’t discuss everything he had put her through in the time they were together nor does she have any intentions on truly discussing the worst of the abuse she endured while dating him and she was home - even in therapy. It did, however, have an effect on her, it made her terrified of truly falling in love with somebody again.  (Note: James is also a massive reason why she doesn't get along with her brother Jamie, the two Elswood siblings never recovered from Jamie sleeping with Ches’s boyfriend. It causes a good deal of tension in the Elswood home but Ches can’t just forgive him, her brother never even apologized for his actions, she wasn’t going to pretend he didn’t hurt her because her father wanted them to get along for his own sake. They were on the rocks before this and afterward, the tension just got a whole lot worse.)

Going back to Carnifex her sophomore year was a key factor in helping Ches get away from her relationship, and it became as much of a home for her than her actual home was the longer she attended. Sure, she still misses her younger sisters, she misses Emmett and Camellia, and she misses her friends in the city. She also dislikes just how restricted she truly is when it comes to Instagram and trying to grow her influence while she attends Carnifex. Networking had to wait until she was home and sometimes she questions why she decided boarding school was a good idea. And then Ches looks at her friends, at the education she’s receiving, and all the fond memories she’s developing. Carnifex, and now Luxor, was well worth the fear of missing out she feels. 

If you had asked her at the start of this school year, she would have told you nothing could have gotten her to leave school for any amount of time her senior year, she had spent the whole summer at Luxor (even after hearing about her baby niece, that meant a lot) - she finally settled in, she couldn’t imagine anything happening that would cause her to leave the academy. And then, on October 16th at two am in the morning, she got a phone call from Ella. Their oldest brother, Logan, had overdosed. While his drug addiction had never been a secret to the family, his relapse had been a surprise to Ches. Her brother had sworn up and down he was fine, that everything at home was okay. Going back to New York was a no brainer, her family needed her - and she needed them.

Logan, who’d been the closest thing to a parent she had since her mother died, almost died - she almost lost all the parental figures she ever knew. It was hard, getting adjusted back to New York City, she threw herself into her school work and did her best to fill the shoes Logan left open as he went through rehab, and then, adjusted back to being home. While she stayed in touch with the people she had at Luxor, she wouldn’t come back until her brother way okay - until she felt safe about leaving him with his daughter and their siblings without her as a backup. Coming back to school this time was really hard on her, the homesickness is worse than ever and she’s constantly trying to check in on her siblings (because mom!Ches is truly in full force and she’s trying to get it back down) but she’s glad to be back. She’s missed being at Luxor, a lot, so she’s glad to be back.

TLDR / quick important notes bio recap for rereads:

Ches’s mother was murdered on her 8th birthday in front of her

She was raised by her oldest brother, Logan, and is NOT close to her father really. She also helped raise her younger sisters and is very protective of them.

The Elswood she is closest to is Emmett, Jonah and her grew apart after her mother’s death.

Ches’s first real love was James (an NPC), they dated (entire)Freshman-(mid)Sophomore years, it was abusive (much more than Ches will ever discuss unless she gets majorly close to someone and they HAVE to know (cough still hasn’t happened though cough)) and Ches is now terrified of falling in love again. Her messy as fuck relationships & exes all start after this point.

Ches’s history at Luxor is pretty much in-tact, changes will be below in another section!

Ches left Luxor because of her oldest brother, Logan, overdosing. He is alive but she stayed in NYC until he was out of rehab / stabilized in order to take care of her younger siblings and her niece, Belle.

Notable Luxor Notes:

Anything relating to Thomas (for those of you who know what I mean) really hasn’t occurred, so if you mention it she’ll just be like “who?” This seems like the easiest course of action given how things were left off

Other muses of note I’m not going to account for are: Asher (more will be added as needed).

Ches isn’t a member of the Churchill Circle (I’m leaning towards was never one either just because the reasons she joined are no longer a factor so... she probably wouldn’t have ever joined)

If anyone wants to change history and/or keep it intact, feel free to dm me to let me know and I’ll update this accordingly. 

Wanted Connections:

Exes (when Ches dates it’s not for long, but she’s definitely the type to be like “I’ll go out with you” if asked and then... dump you if she thinks she’s getting too attached. So her exes are either on good terms, neutral terms, or they probably dislike her a lot)

Former friends with benefits - while Ches is no longer taking on new ones because of Elliot (and is starting to wean off her current ones), I’m always willing to headcanon past things!

FRIENDSHIPS  (I am weak af for a good friendship plot, never be afraid to be like “hey can our muses be friends” the answer is legit always yes)

Enemies (Ches can... be a lot so it’s not unlikely she’s pissed people off ok)

#luxorintro #so yeah pretty much have a Ches and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED TO BE BACK OK #sorry this is so freaking long too ♥ #also I was excited I revamped the bio and drafted it #it's about my bedtime right now though so not sure how far I'll get with replies I'm gonna try but it's legit the time I pass out right now

Diabolik Lovers MORE, MORE BLOOD Vol. 3 Sakamaki Shuu [Animate Tokuten] “Living a Normal School Life for Once!”

Original title: たまにはまともに学園生活!

Source: Diabolik Lovers More, More Blood Vol. 3 Sakamaki Shuu Animate Tokuten Drama CD

Audio: Here

Seiyuu: Toriumi Kousuke

Translator’s note:  Someone told me about this track a while ago and I’ve been wanting to listen to it ever since! However, I forgot it was his MMB Tokuten CD so while I was listening, I suddenly remembered and got super excited. This track is pure crack and chaos but it had me laughing out loud at more than one occasion. I guess this proves that there is most definitely such a thing as ‘being too popular’ lol.

Shuu walks into the kitchen.

*Rustle*

“Hm...She’s not here either? Where did she run off to? Hm?”

*Cling*

“What’s this? A cupcake...? Hmー”

He eats it.

“Mmh...Nn...”

*TIMESKIP*

*Ding ・ dongー Ding ・ dongー*

“Pwaah...I slept well...Ah, what? You gave me a lap pillow (1) this whole time? It was pretty comfortable, I guess.”

You tell Shuu it’s after school already.

“I know. The bell rang after all. Classes are finally over, huh?”

He gets up.

*Rustle*

“Guess we should hurry and take the limousine back home. Once we’re at the manor, I’m going back to sleep.” 

You frown.

“Got a problem with it? Ah...You want me to tend to you, don’t you? Fine by me. If that’s what you want, I don’t mind giving you my fangs right here, right now.”

You shake your head.

“I won’t listen to your ‘waits’. Just give it to me already.”

Approaching footsteps can be heard in the background.

*Rattle*

“Haah...? Who are you? I’ve never seen you (2) before. Ah...Did the teacher send you to drag me back to the classroom? School has ended already, just give up and leave.”

The girl confesses her love to Shuu.

“Haah...First you barge into the room and now an impromptu confession? That’s a pain, you know? Also, you’re shouting way too loud. If you make too much of a fu...”

A teacher approaches.

“See? The teacher noticed?”

The teacher scolds Shuu for always skipping class. 

“Che...I’m sick and tired of being told to ‘attend classes’ and such...Whatever, can you both just leave already? 

The teacher confesses his love too.

“Hah...? Oi, what kind of joke is this? ...Confessing to a student like that...Do you have a few screws loose perhaps?”

The student and teacher approach Shuu, fighting over him.

*Rustle rustle*

“Wha...!? ...Don’t pull me!! What has gotten into you two...!? ...! Their eyes aren’t normal. What is happening!? ...Ugh! Oi, let’s get out of here. We’re gonna run so follow me!”

Shuu grabs your hand as the two of you make a run for it.

*TIMESKIP*

“Phew...Where are those women? ...Ah, seems like they didn’t come after us. Haah...Good grief...What is going on?”

You tell Shuu somewhat weird happened to the student & teacher.

“Yeah...The look in their eyes was screaming trouble. Also, have they lost their minds to confess to me like that?”

You note that he’s popular.

“There’s just a bunch of people who approach me lured in by my looks. I’m not really popular or anything. Only freaks (3) would willingly remain by my side, knowing what kind of guy I really am.”

A male student walks up to Shuu.

“Haah? ...I’m sorry, but who are you? Don’t remember ever seeing you, dude. Well, not that I’d want to.”

The guy confesses to him as well.

“...What did you say just now?”

He repeats himself.

“Listen up...That’s not my cup of tea. Also, don’t go shouting ‘I love you’ in the middle of the hallway. My bad, but you’re gonna have to try your luck with another guy. We’re going, see you. ...Oi, we’re running again.”

Another person approaches him.

“...Haah!? This old man is the...janitor, right? ...Do you have any idea what you’re even saying? I’m a man too, you know?”

Various people start gathering around Shuu.

“...Wha!? W-What’s going on...!? One after the one...! Don’t push...! Like I said, get away from me...! Ugh! Hold my hand! We’re running till outside the school building!”

You run off with Shuu again.

*TIMESKIP*

“Haah...Seems like there isn’t a raid waiting for me outside of the school gate, at least. ...Oi. You seem to be out of breath, are you okay?”

You nod.

“...You don’t look ‘fine’ to me. Guess we can head home after you’ve gotten some rest. Haah...The fuck is going on today? Why would this suddenly happen...?”

You tell Shuu that most people want to be popular. 

“I’m not happy. Do you really think anyone would want people fawning over them like pure lunatics? All the students and teachers around me suddenly had the color of their eyes change and...The case of the janitor stands out in particular, huh?”

You agree.

“This nonsense wouldn’t just happen without a reason. Did someone set me up...? Don’t tell me the Old Man is pulling some bullshit again...?”

*Cling*

*Caw caw*

“...!? What now...!?”

Birds gather around Shuu.

“...!? The birdsーー!? What...!? Don’t peck at my head! Go away!”

*Meow*

“...Why cats too...!? Oi! Don’t circle around me!”

*Rumbe rumble*

“...! ...Oi...I can hear tremors...”

*Rumble rumble*

*Hoooooowl*

“...I can also hear the sounds of animals which could cause some real trouble if they run loose here in the middle of the city...”

*Rumble rumble*

*CRASH*

“...Say, there’s an elephant right there....Somehow it makes the chickens and dogs seem totally normal.”

*Woof woof*

You giggle, noting he really is popular.

“...It’s easy for you to talk, huh!? I’m not happy to be Mr. Popular!”

Shuu grabs your hand and starts running as well.

“You’re aware, aren’t you? That you’re the only person I truly love? You’re the only one I need. There’s nobody who could replace you. As long as you love me, I don’t wish for anything else in this world.”

The animals keep making a fuss.

“Tsk...Can you all pipe down? I’m pouring out my feelings over here but most of it got overshadowed by the noise. ...Aah? Tremors again? This is...”

*Rumble rumble*

“Oi...You’ve got to be kidding me...I’m pretty sure the entire school population is running our way...”

You ask Shuu what to do.

“What do you mean? Running is our only option...!”

You run away again.

*TIMESKIP*

*Ding ・ dongー Ding ・ dongー*

“Haah...Nothing like a deserted music room, so nice and quiet. It’s almost as if yesterday’s chaos never happened at all.”

You tell him it’s a relief everyone is back to normal.

“Yeah...While I’m glad everything settled down after just one day, I’d rather not go through the same experience ever again.”

 You ponder out loud about the reasonings behind it.

“The reason for that turmoil is easy. I looked into it after we got home. Ayato left a cupcake from the Demon World in the kitchen.”

You ask if the cupcake was special.

“When you eat it, you can make anyone around you fall head over heels with you. It’s a stupid prank device...It pisses me off how I actually fell for it.”

You frown.

“Hm? What? Seems like you have something on your mind.”

You note it is strange for him to eat a cupcake since he doesn’t like sweets.

“Ah...I wouldn’t have eaten it under normal circumstances. It’s just...”

You tilt your head to the side.

“I thought you were the one who made it.”

You giggle.

“...Shut up! I’m gonna nap already! Today you can whine all you want, I’m not waking up! ...Zz...”

ーー THE END ーー

Translation notes

(1) Literally he asks if she remained in the ‘lap pillow stance’ this whole time.

(2) The Japanese specifies it is a girl/female by using the word 女 or onna. However, directly addressing someone as ‘man’ or ‘woman’ just sounds very odd and unnatural in English. 

(3) The term 物好き or ‘monozuki’ literally means ‘lover of things’ and refers to people with odd tastes or a dangerous level of curiosity.

[takerfoxx]

Here, have some more of the WN girls watch The Rebellion Story, this time stretching from Moemura turning back into classic Homura while monologuing to herself to when she shoots herself in the head!

Yes, this is the one with the gunfight.

Reminder:

G=Gretchen

H=Homulilly

Op=Ophelia

Ok=Oktavia

Ca=Candeloro/Mami

Ch=Charlotte

...

Op: Dramatic transformation!

H: All I did was take off my glasses and ribbons.

Op: And you did so dramatically! Complete with a slo-mo hair flick while framed by the full moon!

Ch: Which is apparently about to crash into the city, given how close it is.

Ok: “This is a witch’s labyrinth.” Gee, yah think?!

…

Ok: Okay, where exactly are you headed?

H: Deep into the bowels of the earth, apparently.

Op: Quick! To the Homu-Cave!

G: So, uh, can you see all those windows with the witches, or…?

H: Probably not. It probably still looks normal to me.

Op: Now that just sucks! If you’re going to monologue dramatically you at least ought to be able to appreciate the accompanying visuals!

Ch: “Previously, on Homura Magica…”

G: We probably should have watched the show first. Maybe then all of this would make sense.

Ch: I sincerely doubt it.

…

Ch: Why do all of my scenes have me looking like some brand of idiot?

Ok: Have you seen yourself whenever you get within sniffing distance of a piece of mozzarella? If anything, the doll you is way more composed!

Ch: Oh, so I stick teacups on top of my head, is that what you’re saying?

Op: No, usually you smash them and anything else that’s between you and that sweet, sweet cheesy goodness.

…

Ok: Oh, exposition!

Ch: About my idiot counterpart. I really hope I am the villain and this is all some kind of clever ruse, because otherwise, my God.

G: This is really cute, though. And at least you two are close in this universe too!

Ch: I’m basically a pet.

Ca: Well, if I must have a pet, I’m glad that it’s you.

Ch: Woof-woof.

=from outside, Cheese starts screeching=

Che: Bitch-ass cayennnnnne!

Ca: Whoops. He heard.

…

Ch: …Candy? Are you okay?

Ca: I’m…fine. Just memories.

G: You mean it was really like that?

Ca: Well, Charlotte obviously wasn’t a doll, we weren’t trapped in a bizarre facsimile of the city, and there were no Nightmares, but yes. It was a lonely time.

Op: Because of me, wasn’t it?

Ca: Ophelia, you had literally just lost your family, and I…wasn’t as sympathetic as I ought to have been. So no. It wasn’t because of you. Besides, we did make up later. Had a long conversation and everything. There were even tears.

Op: Well, that’s good to hear.

Ca: Actually, it was pretty close to how it is in the movie, once everyone had shown up. The five of us spending all our time together. Fighting together, training together, celebrating together, and just being girls together. For me, it was probably the happiest I had ever been.

Ok: Right up until my love life went sour.

Ca: Oh, there was so much more to it than just that. Besides, it was all just a temporary thing, a staving off the inevitable. What we have now might be much less exciting but is so much better.

Op: I dunno. Fighting demonic teddy-bears every night sounds like my idea of a good time.

Ca: We didn’t have teddy-bears, remember?

Op: Well, we should have.

…

Ok: Um…Homulilly?

H: Well, this has gotten interesting.

Op: You know, there are a lot of jokes I could be making about you freezing time right next to your crush, but I won’t.

H: Thank you.

G: I don’t get it...Actually, I do. Never mind.

Ok: Shoot the rat! He’s right there!

Ch: Oh, no. She’s going after me. Huh.

H: Huh indeed.

=Charlotte and Homulilly shoot each other an odd look=

Op: So…are we gonna get Homulilly vs. Charlotte?

H: More of Homura vs. Bebe, it seems.

Ch: So…I am the villain.

Op: If you’re lucky, you’ll get an overly dramatic and campy solo number, complete with a pipe organ!

…

G: This is getting a little hard to watch.

Ch: It’s not me.

G: It kind ofis.

H: Charlotte, I would like to take this moment to say that you are a dear friend of mine, and the actions of my counterpart do not reflect my feelings.

Ch: Thanks. Same.

=pause=

Ch: Though could your other self please stop choking me? It is getting kind of weird.

…

Op: Okay, that cinches it! Homura can definitely see the weird!

Ok: How do you figure?

Op: The fact that she’s leaping from dessert tray on a stick to dessert tray on a stick! Why would she be doing that unless she could see them?

Ok: I don’t know. Maybe they just look like telephone poles to her.

H: No, the illusion has clearly dropped, at least for me.

Ch: I’m about to get executed and that’s what you choose to focus on?

Op: For all you know you’re about to snap and bite Homura’s head off.

Ch: I…seriously doubt that. I mean, she is kind of the main character.

Ok: Though hey, wouldn’t that be such a wicked twist? To build up someone as a super-important character only to kill them off like a quarter of the way through?

=Candeloro frowns, a puzzled look on her face=

…

Op: Erm…

H: Well, this is certainly condescending.

Ca: It’s not inaccurate, though. I did struggle with many doubts and insecurities, and often found it difficult to put on a brave face.

Ch: That’s just called being human, babe.

Op: Most humans never went through what we went through.

Ca: That’s also true. Like I said, Homura isn’t wrong. I often felt like I was on the edge of cracking. There was more than one time when one of you would get hurt during a fight, and I would make a big show of being calm and unbothered. I’d encourage you and maybe lightly scold you for letting your guard down, and when you were all healed up I’d reassure everyone that I knew everything would be fine and try my best to carry on as normal. And then, when everyone was gone, I’d spend the rest of the night crying. You were right to assume I would react badly if you accused my close companion of being some kind of nefarious villain.

=long, uncomfortable pause=

H: Maybe so, but I think that my other self here wasn’t in the habit of giving people the benefit of the doubt. I think that her frequent failures might cause her to assume the worst of everyone, and act accordingly. I don’t think that she is giving you a fair shake.

Ca: That’s sweet of you to say so, Homulilly. But realistically speaking, she had reason not to trust me with this information.

…

Ch: Yeesh.

H: It’s okay. You can say it.

Ch: Say what?

H: That this alternate version of myself is kind of…shall we say…

Ok: Incredibly terrifying?

H: Just a little psychotic, yes.

G: Well, I mean, considering what she went through. You were lucky to stop after four loops. How many times did she have to relive my death over and over?

Ch: Still doesn’t make watching me get shoved up against a wall and the life choked out of me any more fun to watch.

…

Ch: Hold up!

Op: Well, hey! Wife to the rescue!

Ca: But…how…?

G: Oh. That is…a long ribbon.

Op: Did you have that attached to her foot the whole time?

Ca: I mean, I guess…

Ok: How did she even know you were up to something?

Ca: Intuition, I suppose. Maybe the lack of glasses and the new hairstyle tipped me off?

Ok: Why would that-

Ca: I don’t know, I’m just throwing guesses out.

H: Well, consider me impressed. Clearly, this other me underestimated you.

Ca: Thank you.

Ch: OKAY! If having my stupid doll face on every billboard in town doesn’t tip you off, then nothing will!

G: Homura’s probably the only one that can see it like that. Mami probably just sees a shoe advertisement or something.

Ch: You know what? That’s actually kind of a relief.

…

Ok: Oh, shit!

Ch: Could you stop trying to kill me? Please?

H: Believe me, if I could stop me, I would.

Op, suddenly sitting up straighter: Hold on, is this going where I think it’s going?

Ok: I think it is! I think it is!

Ca: Oh, here we go.

G: What?

Ok: Homura and Mami are going to fight!

G: Oh. Oh!

H: Candeloro, just like I said with Charlotte, the actions and beliefs of this alternate self of mine-

Ca: Homulilly, relax. It’s fine. These other versions of ourselves took different paths than we did. I don’t hold any of this against you.

H: Likewise.

Ca: Good.

=pause=

Op: Fifty talents on Mami.

Ch: Oh, good Lord.

Ok: You’re on! Time stop, Fee! That’s so overpowered!

Op: Which our girl neutralized without Little Miss Sleuth even knowing.

H: Is this really-

Op: Plus Mami’s the veteran fighter, remember? The tanky heavy?

Ok: Uh, Homura’s got multiple timeloops of experience, okay. That trumps Mami’s couple of years.

Ca: It was more like three…

G: I’m in! I’m betting on Lilly!

H: On Homura. I’m not fighting anyone.

Ok: Same diff! You better win, though. We’ve got money riding on this.

Ch: Well, I’m joining Fee and betting on Mami. I think you’ll find her more of a handful than you’re bargaining for.

Ca: Out of all the childish-

Ch: Buck up! You’ve got fifty talents to win me!

=Homulilly extends her hand across the couch=

H: Hey. May the best fighter win.

=pause, then Candeloro sighs and shakes her hand=

Ca: Oh, why not. You’re on!

…

Ch: Well, that ribbon ain’t going nowhere. Time stop, still neutralized.

Op: Ha! What I say?

Ca: My Bebe’s life is in danger. My will is resolute.

Ch: You are not turning Bebe into a pet name.

Ok: Come on, come on. Get with the fighting already!

=long pause as Mami and Homura have their staredown, and then they leap…=

Op: Oh, yeah! Here we go!

…

Op: Holy shit!

Ok: Go! Go!

G: Wow. That is a lot of guns.

…

Ch: Come on, babe. You can do this.

Ok: THIS! IS! SO! FREAKING! COOL!

G: Look at their faces! They still don’t want to hurt each other.

Ch: Oh, come on, doll-me! Get out of there already!

…

Op and Ch: Let’s go, Mami!

Ok and G: Ho-Mu-Ra!

Op: Let’s go, Mami!

Ok and G: Ho-Mu-Ra!

H: This is easily the weirdest thing we’ve ever done.

Ok: Oh, what? The thing with the sea-monster wasn’t weirder?

H: That was just…messy! We’re watching me and Candeloro’s alternate future selves in a fight to the death and you four are treating it like a pro-wrestling event!

Ca: Yeah. And I’m going to win.

=pause=

H: Did I say you could stop chanting?

Ok and G: Ho-Mu-Ra!

…

Op: Downtown is getting fuuuucked uuuup!

Ch: Just wait until she unfreezes time.

G: Jeez, I can’t tell if you’re both terrible shots or just extremely good at dodging!

H: Definitely the second.

Ok: And now we come to the stand-off.

Op: Nowhere to go, barely any room to breathe. Hey, Lilly, is the kinetic force of those bullets maintained?

H: What?

Op: I know they’re stuck in time, but can you just pluck them out of the air, or would you still be damaged by the heat and contained momentum?

H: I…have no idea.

Op: Best not to touch them then.

H: Probably smart.

…

Op: And time starts up…now.

G: Oh, that looks so unsafe.

Ok: Yeah! I mean, sure, if they hold still they won’t get hit with the bullets right next to them. But the freaking air was full of them! What’s keeping a spray of bullets from raining down from above and turning their heads into swiss cheese? Oh, sorry Char.

Ch: Y’know, unlike my moronic counterpart, I can hear the word “cheese” without freaking out.

Op: And that’s not getting into ricochets. They ought to be perforated right now.

Ca: My bullets were magic. They only ricocheted when I wanted them to. Most times they’d either pierce right through or exploded on impact.

Op: Homura’s aren’t.

Ca: True.

…

Ok: So much for your surroundings. Where the hell are you guys anyway?

H: Looks like some kind of cathedral. Only a very…eccentric one.

Ok: City’s getting weirder by the minute.

G: It could be symbolic for something. Like, I don’t know, violence in a place of sanctuary or…something?

Ch: Or gothic architecture just makes for an awesome place to stage an action scene and the animators and directors know it.

Ok: Stop killing the magic!

Op: Though, hell, speaking of which, would they actually die if they got shot? I mean, I know it would hurt, but…

Ca: Hypothetically? No. So long as the soul gem itself was unharmed, any damage would eventually heal.

G: Like we do?

Ca: Er, sort of, but not in the same way. Their bodies are still flesh and blood. Injuries back then tended to be…messy. And healing used up magic, and if those injuries were too great…

Ok: Witch time?

Ca: Bingo.

…

Ch: “Not getting anywhere.” Now there’s the understatement of the year.

G: So who won? Was it a draw?

Ca: So far, but I don’t think it’s over yet.

H: Indeed. I seem to be…up to something.

Op: Okay, if none of those big honkin’ rifles and machine-guns weren’t working, what good is that little peashooter, gonna…hold on!

=Homura puts the gun to her head. Half-a-second of stunned silence, and then everyone starts yelling at once=

G: Oh, no. Oh, no.

Ch: Oh, my God. They are going there.

Op: Okay. OKAY!

Ok: What the hell is she doing?!

Ca: No, no, no, no, no, no, no…

H: What is wrong with you?! Why are you like this?!

SNL Adventure 1/27/18

I actually wrote a super long post yesterday but Tumblr glitched and didn’t post it ._.

anyways I am incredibly grateful that I got to see Will Ferrell dumb anecdote: but my family doesn’t really have a lot of traditions and never celebrated a lot of holidays, but we watch Elf every year without fail and idk I just really love that we have that and idk thank you Will

@blazermckinnon​ and I checked out the line on Thursday night and there were already 10 people so we freaked out and got in line at 1:30 AM Friday morning lol so that’s 30 hours in line

Also it was 26°- 34° so here’s what I brought and wore:

big sweater

2 pairs of pants

2 pairs of socks

winter coat

sleeping bag

snl blanket

cardboard

HotHands Hand Warmers (LIFESAVERS my feet and hands were freezing so I bought a pack from Duane Reade)

I was super warm and actually got a lot of sleep lol

I think they let in 40-50 people? Not quite sure, but blazermckinnon and I were 3rd and 4th in line for dress rehearsal and we got to sit in the front row of the center section! Best seats we’ve had since the Melissa McCarthy show!

I’m starting to get tired of Che’s standup because he just reuses the same jokes. I remember a lot of his bits, but I won’t give them away because they’re good lol what works works I looooove the warmup song so much asdfghjkl Kenan, Cecily, Kate, and Melissa have great voices and I adore them 💕Kate usually does something different every time. This time she did a air guitar windmill lmao When Will walked onstage as Bush everyone started screaming and cheering! blazermckinnon described seeing him as surreal and honestly yeah it was crazy I never imagined I would get to see him perform right in front of me. I remember watching The House last summer and thinking about how I would probably never get to see Amy or Will irl asdfghjkl They cut Kate from the monologue. She was supposed to come up to Will and ask if he was okay and he said something like, “It’s Kate McClinton!!!!” They also changed the line, “Lorne Michaels! The rudest man in show business!” to “Lorne Michaels! The rudest man in show business! You know it’s true, you get off on it!” idk I just thought it was funny The cast and crew seemed a lot happier, like they were all just excited that Will was there. I feel like they’re always stressed and worried about time, but I saw a lot of them smiling and laughing with the audience. The energy was just different and I’m really glad I got to be a part of it ☺️ I saw Kate dancing before the Reality Stars sketch and the Chucky Lee Byrd sketch! Also saw her sneeze and idk why it’s funny but she makes a face when she sneezes Before the Dinner Discussion sketch, Kate was trying to drink tea or something and she was struggling not to bump into anyone. She had a panicked look on her face and idk it was funny and relatable BIG MOOD I also saw Chris and Luke dancing before the Flight Attendants sketch lol Alex couldn’t stop laughing during the Commercial Shoot sketch and waited for Kate afterwards to compliment her Che was shaking his head when Colin told a bad joke lol and again during Pete’s bit (which was cut)

They cut a sketch where Mikey played Pinocchio, Will played Geppetto, Kate played the blue fairy, and Kyle played Jiminy Cricket. It was kind of dumb and had too many dick jokes but Will made it really funny with his accent and dancing lol They cut a sketch about a bring-your-daughter-to-work day at RE/MAX with Will, Aidy as Will’s daughter, Beck, Cecily, Melissa (as someone else’s daughter), and Heidi. It was pretty funny, but also kind of awkward? I understand why they cut it lol Mikey had a weekend update character called My Man that got cut. He talked about identity theft. Colin didn’t know his character’s name and just called him my man, my dog, daddy-o, etc. Pete talked about filming a dockers ad and how he had to ask strangers to take their pants off and exchange them for dockers. It somehow got really dark LOL but I like the joke he started with:

Colin: What happened to your arm? (gestures to Pete’s cast) Pete: Oh I punched a wall. It’s a really funny story! See, I have mental health problems. Colin: Oh? Pete: That’s it. That’s the whole story.

Chris told us that he wants to make a different face for every picture lmao I love him so much he’s one of my favorite cast members right now

Told Melissa that I love her new haircut and that made her reach up and touch her hair and she looked really happy and told me thank you!

Colin, Beck, Kyle, Mikey, Luke, and Heidi also came out but didn’t really stop for pics because it was raining

Thank you again to everyone that added me on snapchat!! I really appreciate it! I feel like I annoy everyone when I add a bunch of pics to my story on my personal account because they don’t actually care about snl that much

Really loved the show!!! I don’t think I’m ever going to get sick of watching the show live it really means a lot to me 💕💕💕

#river gets tickets #will ferrell #chris stapleton #michael che #kenan thompson #cecily strong #kate mckinnon #melissa villasenor #chris redd #luke null #mikey day #alex moffat #pete davidson #colin jost #aidy bryant #snl #saturday night live

DIABOLIK LOVERS Do-S Kyuuketsu VERSUS II Vol.1 Ayato VS Laito [Track 3]

Original title: ざわめく心

Source: Diabolik Lovers VERSUS II Vol. 1 Ayato VS Laito [CD not owned by me]

Audio: Here

Seiyuu: Midorikawa Hikaru & Hirakawa Daisuke

Translator’s note: I am really digging the underlying themes of this drama CD so far! Whether it’s the tension between Ayato and Laito related to their past, or the many implications of the MC’s awakening and what it does to her body, etc. This is all stuff I wish the games would touch upon a little more, especially the latter! The scene where Ayato prompts to bite him in particular, I found very fascinating! In HDB, they refer to Yui’s awakening quite often, but only in a few chapters/routes, they specificy that she also has to drink blood now, while in the rest it is kept rather vague. :S

Track 1 ll Track 2 ll Track 3 ll Track 4 ll Track 5 ll Track 6

Track 3: Restless Heart

*Rustle rustle*

*Thud*

Ayato: ...I doubt he’ll be able to track us down any time soon soon. ...Honestly, you should get a lil’ better readin’ the room!

You tilt your head to the side.

Ayato: It was my perfect opportunity to give that mysterious freak a good punch in the face. Come on, this way. We’re gonna hide underneath the table.

*Rustle*

Ayato: There’s honestly no reason to hide, but you kept on complainin’...Geez, why are women always such softies?

You smile, noting on his unusual kindness.

Ayato: Haah...? I-I’m not being nice or anythin’! I’m my usual self! Anyway, come here!

Ayato pulls you underneath the table with him.

*Rustle*

Ayato: I’m sure while we’re hidin’ down here, it’ll give that guy some time to cool off his head. ...More importantly, why didn’t you just take my hand right away earlier?

*Rustle*

Ayato: Answer me...Oi.

You hesitate.

Ayato: You weren’t thinkin’ ‘bout grabbin’ his hand, were you?

You keep quiet.

Ayato: The silent treatment, huh? Che...You should know that won’t get me to forgive you better than anyone. You really never learn, do you?

He pins you down.

*Thud*

Ayato: If you won’t give me a proper reply, I’ll keep on repeating the question to your body, until you finally decide to be honest with me.

*RIIIIIIP*

Ayato: You actually...Hahaha...Gave me the cold shoulder because you were hopin’ I’d do somethin’ like this, no? Heh. Even if you deny it, I’m pretty sure an idiot like yourself is still capable of realizin’ things would turn out this way.

You turn your head to the side.

*Rustle*

Ayato: Just admit it...That you want to feel good through my fangs...All you have to do is upset me after all. Isn’t that true? You see, I don’t dislike that erotic side of you...However, Chichinashi, you keep on refusin’ to accept that part of you. But you know, ‘cause you constantly deny it, I can’t help but want to ask you over and over...

*Rustle rustle*

Ayato: Like this...

*Rustle*

Ayato: Come on, show me your neck. I’ll suck you. ...Hurry up.

*Rustle*

Ayato bites you.

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: Haahn...Mmh...Haah...Your blood really is delicious. Haahn...

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: Mmh...Nn...Haah...But...It feels a lil’ different from usual. Is this ‘cause of the lunar eclipse as well?

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: Mm...Nnh...Hah...Nn...If you’re bein’ affected by it, then...Hahaha..I guess you’ve started awakenin’ after all?

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: Hahn...Mm...

*Rustle*

Ayato: Haah? Are you scared? I asked the same question before, but why are you so afraid of it? Come on, this side of your nape is up next. 

He continues sucking your blood.

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: Nn...Hah...Well, I don’t particularly care ‘bout a Vampire woman’s blood either, but as long as the blood belongs to yoーー ...Woah there. I nearly ran my mouth. ...I guess it’s ‘cause of that damn moon? Geez. Bein’ a Vampire can be surprisingly annoyin’ at times as well.

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: Hahn...Mm...How’s that? You’ve gotten heated, haven’t you?

You try and hide your flushed cheeks.

Ayato: Idiot. Don’t hide it. I can tell regardless. All it takes is a little touch...To tell whether you’re feeling good or not. ...I’m feeling great. Your blood has started circulating through my body. I feel as if I’m about to go high. Come on, let’s enjoy things a lil’ differently today. (1) ...Come here.”

*Rustle*

Ayato: Closer, much closer to me...

You scoot over.

Ayato: Exactly. ...Here we go.

*RIIIIIIIP*

Ayato: You should try bitin’ me.

You seem surprised.

Ayato: Why, you ask? To check whether you’ve actually awakened or not, duh.

You seem skeptical.

Ayato: ‘I can’t’, my ass. Do it.

You shake your head.

Ayato: Haah...Switchin’ it up between bein’ bitten or bitin’ can be nice every once in a while, you know? Besides, you might surprisingly enjoy it as well.

You are afraid to hurt him.

Ayato: It’s just a lil’ game. Come on.

You give him a gentle bite.

Ayato: ...! Idiot! When you just lightly nibble like that, it only tickles! Do it stronger. Like how I’d bite you.

*Rustle rustle*

Ayato: ...!! ...Hahaha! Mine aren’t that weak! 

You bite him stronger.

Ayato: ...Ugh! Yeah, that was better. Hahaha. The moon is totally to blame for this. My senses are in complete disarray. Who would have thought Yours Truly would ever enjoy the kind of fucked up shit (2) Laito’s into. Haah...

*Rustle*

Ayato: However, only right now, it’s kinda fascinatin’ to me. Haha...Chichinashi. How did I taste? Your moist lips...they look great. Mmh...

Ayato kisses you.

*Smooch*

Ayato: How’s that? Did you remember that you belong to me now? Come on, say it.

You hesitate.

Ayato: Well? Did you remember or not? All you need to do is nod your head, you know? 

He holds you close.

Ayato: You are mine. You don’t belong to that shitty bastard Laito. Right?

You start crying.

Ayato: ...!? Oi! Why are you cryin’!? I don’t understand!?

You sob.

Ayato: Ah...Fuck! Don’t cry, I said! Do you want me to suck your blood more or somethin’?

You shrug, shaking your head. 

Ayato: Haah...? You don’t know...?

He pins you down underneath him one more time.

Ayato: In that case, I’ll take it as a sign that you want me even more. So I’ll give you exactly what you want. As you wish...

*Rustle*

Ayato: Right here, on your shoulder...You quite like it here, don’t you?

Ayato bites you once more.

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: Hahn...Mmh...Nn...You really have no idea how you keep on pushin’ us ‘round, do you? 

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: Mm..Nn...Hah...Timin’ those tears of you perfectly...Mm...Nn...

*Sluuuuurp*

Ayato: ...Your tears have dried? Right?

*Smooch*

Ayato: What’s with that expression? Why do you seem so surprised? 

You suddenly get up from underneath the table.

*Rustle rustle*

Ayato: ...Woah!? 

You run towards the door.

Ayato: ーー Oi, Chichinashi! Where are you goin’!? What if Laito finds you, aah!? 

You leave regardless.

*TIMESKIP*

Laito enters the room.

Laito: ...Oh dear. Playin’ hide-and-seek over there, huh? You’re rather mean, Ayato-kun.

Ayato: Laito...!?

Laito: Not only did you neglect our match, but you even made Bitch-chan cry, it seems? Fufufu...~ You’re such a cruel man, Ayato-kun.

Ayato: You’re the last person I want to hear that from...!! In that case, I don’t mind pickin’ up where we left off right here, right now?

Laito: Nfu~ I like that idea! Honestly couldn’t wish for more. ...However, since our prey just so happens to be on the run right now, why don’t we do it like this...?

Ayato: ...Hah?

Laito: A hide-and-seek showdown. To see who can capture this poor lamb on the loose first, that is~

Ayato: So whoever catches her first, wins?

Laito: Exactly! It might not bring that same sense of satisfaction as throwing fists does, but it’s still plenty fun, no? With our senses somewhat disrupted, I think it’ll be even more exciting since we can’t just easily seek her out through scent alone.

Ayato: Hah! Bring it on! I can already picture where she would have run off to.

Laito: I wonder? Do you truly understand how a woman’s mind works?

Ayato: ...Ah!?

Laito: Nfu~ Well, let’s give it our best shot. To find what is ‘ours’...~

Ayato: ...Keh!

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) He uses the verb いく or ‘iku’, which usually means ‘to go’, but can have some sexual implications such as ‘reach a climax’ as well. 

(2) Ayato refers to letting the MC bite him as an ‘act of perversion’.
