Takahashi Minato’s Birthday PriZoom 8/21/2021
TABETAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!
Reminder that PriZooms are accessible to everyone regardless of region!! If you’re interested in attending, please go and support King of Prism!!! 
I’ve written a guide for participating in PriZooms   👉 here 👈 !
This time I went for the showings with just the Masashi Igarashi talk show bonuses, so the second and third showing (SSS part 2 and Best Ten’s Over the Rainbow route)!
MINATO’S PRIZOOM WAS THE LOUDEST I’VE EVER HEARD SOUNDBOARD HELL!! IT WAS SO FUN!!! There were a lot of people attending too!! I’m so glad!! Especially since Masashi Igarashi (the voice actor of Minato) was there as a guest star and he deserves all the support he gets!!
For reference, I went back and checked my recordings to collect the participant numbers for every prizoom I’ve attended so far:
86 in Jin’s text-only
30 in Rei’s text-only
142 in Minato’s regular cheering for the 3rd showing
105 in Minato’s text-only for the 4th showing,154 in cheering according to Luna! *EDIT: It ended up being over 160?*
You can really hear the difference! Rei’s prizoom was fun but definitely not as wild as Jin’s and Minato’s. I’d say that even though Minato’s cheering was more full-sounding, Jin’s birthday is still my favorite event because there were more participants going all-out with their camera/screens to show their love (almost every Jin fan went text-only). Also Jin’s prizoom holds a special place in my heart since Jin already does and it was my first prizoom, I don’t think anything will top Jin’s for me (though Joji’s is next month...... so.....)  Seems like there’s a pretty even spread of participants between both rooms?
It also seems like the same soundboard link is used for not only all of the showings, but shared between both cheering and text-only rooms? Nice to know that if I choose cheering then I won’t miss out on the soundboard activity!
The screening of SSS part 2 was also my first time trying out a regular cheering room, it seems like soundboard hell is becoming the main cheering style there too? WHICH IS GREAT FOR ME because I was worried about being annoying as one of the few soundboard spammers....... There were only about a handful of people on mic (special thanks to Luna and everyone tried to do regular cheering!! it seems like it’d be difficult with everyone using the soundboard haha)
The cheering for Kakeru’s episode is relatively tame and mostly consists of going “そうだ ! そうだ!/ RIGHT! RIGHT!” and “そうなことないよ!/ That’s not true!” when there’s arguments about business and stuff. Wh.... who was the other person shouting “大好き” at Sanada..........wwhy......
The cheering for Joji’s episode is CRAZY.... pretty much the whole episode is basically inaudible because everyone’s just going KIIIITAAAAAA and KAKKOIIIIIIIII over EVERYTHING. Which is understandable because Joji’s episode has a lot going on and is the best episode of anything ever. I might be a bit biased. Anyways I love rewatching Joji’s episode even more now (THAT MEANS A LOT... JOJI’S EPISODE MEANS A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO ME.... longest I’ve gone without revisiting it is a week). It also had the most regular cheering out of every episode in part 2 which is cool! There wasn’t much since the cheering was mostly soundboard hell but hearing the “Joji! Joji!” cheers in Joker Kiss was just really nice.... it’s just like in the recording of Shiny Rose Stars/the sss stageplay!! There’s no soundboard substitute for that so the voice cheers had a chance to really shine. The “Joji! Joji!” cheers for that part makes the song so much more emotional to me (especially since Joji’s name has so much significance to him.....he’d appreciate the affirmation a lot;;;;.....okay I’m getting sidetracked so I’m just gonna shut up now and wait to gush about Joji’s episode on the right birthday) SO YEAH I LIKED THE CHEERING ROOM JUST BECAUSE OF THAT PART!!! I’m actually going to die from joy at Joji’s prizoom next month.
Minato’s episode mostly consisted of spamming “食べたーい!/ I wanna eat it!” whenever food showed up, that happened for everything though (like the ramen in Joji’s episode), but Minato’s episode was more food-centric so there were more opportunities. “TABETAIIIIIIII” isn’t usually used that much (m... much less for the Shin/Louis kisses...??)! I guess everyone tried to use it as much as possible in celebration of Minato, seeing as he is the food character and all? Really cool!
I was in the text-only room for the 4th showing so it was strictly soundboard hell for Best 10. Its cheering is great as expected! Just a whole showing dedicated to the YO button. For the language lessons part everyone just spams YO along with the karaoke-cues since nobody can actually voice along! I LOVE IT
It’s fun getting an idea of who’s a regular prizoom attender! Notable participants for me this event were Luna and the Kouji cosplayer preparing food the whole time??
Bonuses:
These took SO LONG to process because they’re over 20 minutes long each. And youtube just hates me so it kept messing up the blur so I had to keep going back to set them again and wait for that to process and repeat. I wanted to post this as soon as possible!! but youtube wouldn’t let me. Anyways!!!!!!!!!!!
The bonuses were supposed to be 10 minutes but Masashi Igarashi just had so much fun interacting with the participants and gushing about kinpri aaa.... HE’S JUST SO HAPPY TO BE MINATO;;;;;;;;;............... I like Minato just because of him. I hope my super simple and also in English text contributions made him feel appreciated ;; 
(Also that was the most I’ve ever seen people use the actual text function......... c... can we do that more.... kinda awkward calling it the text-only room when it’s really just soundboard-only....)
First bonus is here!
Second bonus is here!
I actually messed up recording Minato’s birthday letter so I wont be posting that, but thankfully Luna had it screenshotted and plans to translate it so it’s not lost forever ^^;;; 
You can read Luna’s translation of the bonus PrismChat and letter here!
Anyways, reminder that Luna and I aren’t exactly the most reliable source of prizoom coverage (seeing as we skip showings + just have mishaps when it comes to archiving), so if there’s a screening you want to attend, please go and see it yourself! I wrote a guide to help with buying tickets and everything!! It’s also just more fun experiencing the event firsthand than just through tumblr posts!!
And with that....... I wait for Joji’s prizoom.......

Curse to Karaoke Masterlist
Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
Dean and Y/N stalked through the abandoned building. They had traced a witch back to it after a series of unexplained deaths occurred. 
“Man I hate Witches!” Dean groaned as he saw the ingredients for a spell that included, a rotting bird and what seemed like bones of a swan. 
“You and me both Winchester… You and me both… Yuck,” She hissed as what looked like a heart sitting in the middle of what looked like a summoning ritual. 
Y/N looked to the elder Winchester and sighed. She had met him on a vampire hunt two years ago and they had met on and off for hunts ever since. Always ending in drinking and sexual tension that ended with each of them looking for release from other people. Y/N shook her head looking at the ingredients and made a small gagging noise. 
“Did Sam say what these people did before they kicked the bucket?” Y/N asked as she rounded the corner, her gun out and ready. 
“Well, supposedly it started out with singing...singing Y/N…. If that is not evil I don't know what is,” Dean scoffed. 
“I resent that Dean-o… It depends on the song and how you sing it,” Y/N raised her eyebrow pointedly at him. 
“You are never going to let me live down that I sang ‘Right Said Fred I’m too sexy’ are you,” Dean sighed. 
“Nope,” Y/N smiled and winked at him, making him groan. 
 Dean was sure that Y/N didn't know the effect she had on him. Even though he had sung the song as a demon once, it only took five shots of whiskey and three redheaded slut shots for her to get him to do it again. Y/N had fallen on the floor laughing her drunk ass off when he did it, only for Dean to have his revenge when she sang ‘Rupaul's Supermodel.’ It was a good memory to have before things got fuzzy and they were in separate rooms with different people. 
 “Ok, so according to Sam, these people just kept singing and ended up dancing until they just dropped dead…. He’s trying to piece together how though.” Dean looked behind a door with his pistol at the read while Y/N surveyed a separate room. 
 “Ok, well, hopefully, no one was singing any show tunes… that's just wrong.” Y/N gave a shudder and shook the thought out of her head. 
 Dean chuckled as they made their way back down. Before either of them could realize what happened, they were thrown back by a blast of light. The witch began to chant her incantation as Dean and Y/N aimed their guns and pumped her full of witch killing bullets. Both of them grunted as they stood Dean helping Y/N who held her side. 
 “That’s going to bruise,” She moaned. 
 “Yeah, lets head back to the bunker and tell Sam we got it taken care of,” Dean winced as he limped off. 
Tumblr media
 Reaching the bunker Dean and Y/N made it to the library where Sam was waiting for them. Dean and Y/N plopped their duffels on the war room table before sighing. Y/N cracked her neck and gave a small groan as she stretched. The shirt she was wearing rose just a bit for Dean to see the skin under it making him cough as he turned and blushed. Y/N shook out her sore muscles before walking to Sam. 
 “Ding Dong the witch is dead, Sam,” She smiled as she gave him a warm hug and smiled. 
 “Good to see you guys are back in one piece, did she wammy you guys?” Sam chuckled looking at the state of his brother and best friend. 
 “Yeah she said something weird, I’ll write it down and we can see what it actually does,” Y/N grabbed the legal pad off the table and began scribbling on it. 
 Dean held back a groan as she sat on top of the table, her legs crossed, pun resting on her lip as she thought about the witch's incantation. Dean turned around and adjusted himself biting his bottom lip some. This was his best friend and he couldn't cross the line with her, sure they flirted but that was the extent of it. It was harmless, and she didn't have the same feelings, right? No, she couldn't have, besides with the life that they led he knew it would only be a matter of time when fate decided to rip his happiness away. 
 It started gradually, Y/N and Dean looked at each other and it was almost as if they could hear music surrounding them. Sam watched as Y/N finished writing the incantation and slammed it on to Sam’s chest as she walked to Dean. 
 “Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time. I feel alive and the world I'll turn it inside out, yeah” Y/N belted out as she walked to Dean. “And floating around in ecstasy. So” 
 “don't stop me now don't stop me” Dean joined in with her as Sam raised his eyebrow at them. 
 “Uhhhhhh, Guys?” He tried to get their attention. 
 “ 'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time” Y/N trailed her finger along Dean’s chest before she jogged her way to her room. Dean followed behind making his way to his. 
 “I'm a shooting star, leaping through the sky Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity” Y/N belted as she turned in her room while she changed into a corset and skin tight Jeans. “I'm a racing car, passing by like Lady Godiva,” she paused at the door after slipping into her black four-inch sued stilettos and dragged her body along the frame. 
 “Uhhhhh, Y/N…. what is going on?” Sam waved his hand in front of her face and watched as Dean turned in his doorway shaking his ass. 
“I'm gonna go, go, go” they both vocalized while Y/N brought herself up. “There's no stopping me I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah Two hundred degrees, That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit, I'm traveling at the speed of light” Y/N and Dean met in the center of the hallway where Dean grabbed her hips while Y/N bent her back away from him and Dean gave her a small roll where she brought her chest to his.  “I wanna make a supersonic man out of you” She placed her nose to his before pushing away from him. 
“Don't stop me now,” they vocalized
“I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball.” Y/N sang as she slid across one of the library tables while singing. 
“Don't stop me now” she vocalized with Dean
“If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call” she grabbed her phone before tossing it to Sam who almost dropped and moved out of the Way as dean and Y/N moved around. 
“Don't stop me now,” they echoed.  
“'cause I'm having a good time” Y/N jumped off the table and towards the bookcase placing her back against it before she slips down. 
“Don't stop me now” Dean stood in the middle of the library facing Y?N legs slightly apart as he moved his arm in a windmill motion while swaying his hip and bringing his arm down bending at the elbow. 
“yes, I'm havin' a good time I don't want to stop at all” Y/N got up and made her way to the garage where she used the railing to spin and shimmy her hips. 
“Ok… this is weird… Um, guys HELLO! We’re belting out Queen here what’s going on?” Sam clapped his hands but it was no use. 
“Yeah, I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars,” Dean slid down the hall to land right by Y/N in the garage. “On a collision course... I am a satellite, I'm out of control” He winked at her as he grabbed her hips and smirked as she swayed them. 
“Oh, god I know this part….” Sam groaned. 
“I am a sex machine, ready to reload” Dean pumped his arm in a piston motion as he jumped up from his knees in front of Y/N. “Like an atom bomb about to” He jumped over the railing landing in the floor of the garage before heading to Baby and sliding across her hood. 
“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh explode” Y/N sang with him as she leaned her body on baby and tilted her head back. 
“I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah. Two hundred degrees. That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit” Dean circled around the car taking Y/N’s hand before pulling in her as she spun into his chest and he ground his hips into her. “I'm traveling at the speed of light, I wanna make a supersonic woman of you” He turned her to press his chest against hers before dipping her. 
“Don't stop me, don't stop me” Y/N pushed away from him while wagging her finger at him. 
“Don't stop me, hey, hey, hey” Dean joined in as they opened the doors to Baby and were about to climb in when Y/N stood on top of the door frame and smiled singing at Dean. 
“Don't stop me, don't stop me, Ooh ooh ooh,”, they continued to dance around Baby with Sam trying to get their attention. 
“I like it,” Y/N belted out. “Don't stop me, don't stop me” 
“Have a good time, good time” Dean turned in his spot before they climbed into Baby and he started the car.  “Don't stop me, don't stop me, ah, Oh yeah Alright” They vocalized as Sam jumped into the backseat. 
“Oh, I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah, Two hundred degrees That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit. I'm traveling at the speed of light” Y/N sang as she pulled her self out of Baby’s open window as Dean sped down the road wind in her hair. 
“Y/N! Seriously! Dean what are you guys doing!” Sam screeched as Dean hung out the window while driving baby. 
“I wanna make a supersonic man out of you” Y/N sank back into the Impala and smiled as she pinched Dean's ass. 
“Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball, Don't stop me now. If you wanna have a good time (wooh) Just give me a call (alright)” They sang together their faces inches from each other. 
“DEAN WATCH THE ROAD!” Sam held on to dear life as Dean continued driving along the road while singing with Y/N. 
“Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time, yeah yeah), Don't stop me now (yes, I'm havin' a good time). I don't want to stop at all” They held the last line together before Y/N began vocalizing and settling on the opposite side of Dean's, with her head out the window. 
“La da da da daah. Da da da haa.Ha da da ha ha haaa, Ha da daa ha da da aaa. Ooh ooh ooh” Y/N finished. 
 Sam watched Dean and Y/N intently as they stopped singing. Dean looked to Y/N as if nothing happened. 
 “So we, headin to spurs?” Dean smiled as he looked at Sam from the rearview mirror. “Hey, you let Y/N take the front seat this time!” 
 “Thank Sam,” Y/N smiled at him as she adjusted her leather jacket.  
 “Ummmmm, huh,” Sam gave a chuckle. “Are you guys ok?” 
 Dean scoffed and raised his eyebrow at Sam, “yeah why? We’re just headed to spurs like we always do after a hunt!” Dean leaned into the driver's seat as he drove with one hand on the wheel and the other out the window. 
The Impala rolled into the dirt parking lot of the small dive bar where the trio made their way inside. Y/N and Dean climbed out of the car while Sam hung back looking at them he tilted his head curiously and squinted his eyes at them slightly. They didn’t even know they were singing. He thought back to the spell Y/N wrote and his eyes widened. 
 “Oh, fuck!” he cursed as she scrambled out of the Impala to go after them. 
Tumblr media
By the time Sam made it into the bar, Y/N and Dean had grabbed a couple of stools and ordered their drinks. They were well into drinking their shots trying to out drink each other. Then it happened, Y/N started to receive free drinks and began flirting with a guy by the pool tables. Of course, Sam knew she was just trying to hustle them for money but something happened and Dean began to seethe a little. He downed a shot and took another glance at Y/N. 
 “I know there's no form, and no labels to put on to this thing we keep and dip into when we need,” Dean gave Y/N a sideways glance as he sang the words. “And I don't have the right, to ask where you go at night. But the waves hit my head, to think someone's in your bed,” He slammed the glass down and turned his back to the bar while looking at Y/N. 
 “Ummmm, I didn't even know you knew this song,” Sam muttered and looked around but no one else seemed to notice what was going on. 
“I get a little bit, Genghis Khan. I don't want you to get it on with nobody else but me with nobody else but me” Dean jumped off the Stool and pointed to Y/N as she circled the pool table letting one of the men touch her hips as he ‘taught’ her to play pool. 
Sam watched as he made his way to one of the support beams and pressed his back against it while slamming his fist into it in frustration glancing at Y/N. 
“I get a little bit, Genghis Khan, don't want you to get it on with nobody else but me, with nobody else but me” Dean pushed off the beam and turned while sliding towards the bar. 
“And the lights, they glow, like I just lost the World War and the scene slips away to the evenness I fake,” He slapped back his drink and looked back to watch Y/N sink a ball into the pocket with delight while she flirted with the stranger. 
Sam raised his eyes at his brother as he paid attention to the lyrics. 
“It's a cheat somewhere, 'Cause I don't really want you, girl. But you can't be free 'Cause I'm selfish, I'm obscene” Dean slid once again from the bar and turned on the spot. 
Sam took one more look around and noticed that no one was paying attention except him. 
“I get a little bit, Genghis Khan. I don't want you to get it on with nobody else but me, with nobody else but me.” Dean pointed to Y/N legs spread apart as he ran his hand down his body while thrusting his hips. 
“Woah! Ok, did not need to see that move,” Sam huffed and tried to get Dean's attention but to no use. 
“I get a little bit, Genghis Khan, don’t want you to get it on with nobody else but me, with nobody else but me” Dean continued the move until he moved back to the beam leaning on it once again shaking his head. “I wanna make up my mind, but I don't know myself. No, I don't know myself.” he tilted his head back into the beam with a sad look as he sang. “I wanna make up my mind but I don't know myself. No, I don't know myself. I wanna make up my mind, but I don't know myself. No, I don't know myself” 
Sam watched as Dean slid onto the bar floor on his knees as he sang what felt like the ending of the song. 
“I get a little bit, Genghis Khan. I don't want you to get it on, with nobody else but me. With nobody else but me.” He brought up a knee in order to push himself and spin on both of them using his other foot to stop himself. “I get a little bit, Genghis Khan, don't want you to get it on, with nobody else but me. With nobody else but me.” Dean jumped up and made his way back to the bar as if nothing happened. 
 Sam sat there with his mouth gaped open staring at his brother. 
 “What?” dean huffed almost in annoyance as he watched Y/N saunter happily over to them with a wad of cash in her hands. 
 “Guess who just got us 3 grand?” Y/N said as she leaned against Dean, “Looks like my boobs were good for something,” She said as she winked at him, making him chuckle. 
 “You don't know the half of it, Sweetheart.” He muttered as she finished his drink. “Why don't you order us some food while I see if I can hustle us some more,” He kissed her cheek and walked away. 
 “Y/N?” Sam gave her a curious look. 
 “Yeah, Sam?” Y/N knocked back her shot before ordering two double bacon cheeseburgers with fried egg and fries and a salad for Sam. 
 “You didn’t notice anything weird with Dean?” Sam leaned towards her. 
 Y/N shrugged, “No weirder than usual.” 
 Sam watched as Y/N eyed Dean and how she focused on a girl that began flirting with Dean. Y/N smiled at the bartender as he placed the drinks and food in front of them. 
 “Black sheep, come home, Black sheep, come home, Black sheep, come home” Y/N began as she looked at Dean. 
“Oh no not again!” Sam moaned as he let his head fall to the bar top. 
“Hello again, friend of a friend I knew you when.” Y/N began moving her head to a guitar rhythm that suddenly surrounded them. “Our common goal was waiting for the world to end.” She did it again. “Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend,” She made her way to the bar top as Sam pulled the food to safety as she marched on it. “You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again” Y/N slid down to her knees before opening them to switch leaning to another side. 
“OK, this is… I need to fix this… what the…” Sam’s eyes widened as she walked to Dean with a bottle and he sat down as she kneeled pouring a shot into his open mouth before she grabbed his hair, pulling him and pushing her away from him. “What is this Coyote Ugly?” Sam muttered as she continued to sway her hips on the bar top. 
“Sending my love on a wire, lift you up every time, everyone, ooh, pulls away, ooh from you” Y/N ran her hands across her body as she swayed her hips. “Got balls of steel, got an automobile for a minimum wage. Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outer space.” Y/N made her way off the bar top as Dean began grinding with her. Before turning to the girl he was flirting with to dance with her. 
“Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend, you crack the whip, shape-shift, and trick the past again” Y/N belted out as she walked to a thin metal pole that Sam didn’t notice as she used it to dance and grind. 
“Sending my love on a wire, lift you up every time, everyone, ooh, Pulls away, ooh.” Y/N twirled on the pole before wrapping her legs around it and using it as a stripper would. 
“I didn't really need to see this side of you Y/N/N,” Sam moaned. 
“It's a mechanical bull at number one, you'll take a ride from anyone, everyone wants a ride, pulls away, ooh, from you” Y/N got off the pole and made her way back to the bar top. 
Sam watched as she took a bite of her burger as if nothing strange happened. Y/N could feel Sam’s eyes on her and she rolled her eyes not bothering to swallow her food. 
“What Sam?” Y/N swallowed and looked around. “Is there something wrong?” 
“Y/N… You… You didn't notice?” Sam ran his hand through his hair in frustration. 
“Notice what?” Dean asked as he made his appearance, “Ohhh bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg, Awesome!” 
“Hey what happened to sweetcheeks over there?” Y/N asked as she bumped Dean. 
Dean shrugged, “Wasn't feeling it.” 
Dean and Y/N ignored Sam as they talked about the prospects of the people in the bar. Sam scoffed and shook his head. 
“What Sam?” Dean and Y/N growled. 
Sam sighed, “Nothing, nothing… Maybe I’m going crazy or something.” 
The rest of the night was filled with jokes and more drinks before the headed to the bunker. Sam watched as Dean and Y/N looked at each other blushing before wishing each other goodnight and going to their own rooms. Sam was on his way to his when he heard soft strings of music surrounding the bunker. 
“Oh fuck!”

Please do 11 because I’m curious cause I’m terrible with titles 😂 could use any pointers you offer 😂 and 23, I’m gonna slide 30 in there as well if allowed ☺️ and 31 too! Don’t feel the need to do all of them unless you’d like to 💜
Ahh sorry for answering this late!! Yes of course I’m going to answer all~ 🥰
11. How do you come up with your fic titles?
I do not have a decent answer for this...Idk either 😂 I don’t put titles in my drabbles, but for the fics I upload in Ao3 and FFN, I just really come up with random phrases that I think can ‘summarize’ the whole fic. Ooh and if I’m too lazy to think of a phrase, I just pick a word I used in the fic itself! My October entries ‘Giver’ and ‘Incoming’, for example. Also FFN’s ‘Implications’. I just think that they’re nice really, and kinda encapsulates the whole thought of the fic. So yeah, when lazy, choose a word in your document and voila, instant title. 😉 Take my advice with a grain of salt tho, this is just me and my lazy ass talking. XD
23. What’s your absolute favorite trope to write?
Unresolved! Sexual! Tension! Is! The best! There are so many ShinRan UST scenarios in my head omg. 🥴 Mutual Pining comes a very close second! The slight angst and fluff that come with this trope are 👌🏼💕 Also, tight spaces! Bed sharing! Roommates! College setting! 
30. Post a snippet from your current WIP without context - no more than 300 words.
Okay so tbh, my WIPs are garbage. (I haven’t even started with 12 games or kiss prompts and Kinktober entries so I have no new WIP to present aaa) But Imma post one from my word docs I literally titled ‘drabble dumps’ lol --
A random karaoke session-slash-blind date was never Ran’s ideal Saturday night. Her idea of a great Saturday night consisted of a quiet time alone in her room, binge watching Suits while eating popcorn, rewarding herself after a long day of studying for the upcoming college entrance exams. That, or having a quiet dinner out with her two best friends was enough. Karaoke session, or a blind date -- let alone both -- was definitely out of the picture.
Yet here she was, sitting helplessly on one of the couches of the small room, sipping her orange juice until there was only air and ice, while Sonoko and Sera danced and sang their lungs out.
“No backing out, you definitely agreed to this last week!” Sonoko addressed her through the mic.
“Did I?” She honestly couldn’t remember ever agreeing to anything like this.
“Yes! We made a deal!” voice half-shouting, Sera sat beside her, shoving her a bowl of nachos. “Ms. Perfect-smarty-pants can handle a chill life, can she not? You have to prove that!”
31. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?
Definitely Shinichi! I aaalways want to write what’s going on in his head, especially when he describes Ran. The funny thing though is that it’s easier for me to write from Ran’s POV, idk why that happens. Though I’m comfortable writing from both POVs, I always enjoy it when I write from Shinichi’s lens. 👌🏼

Vogue 73 questions with Mike Lawson and Ginny Baker
Tumblr media
“Hey Mike, what’s going on?”
“Not much, lookin’ forward to doing this interview.”
“I am too. Are you guys ready to answer 73 questions?”
“Sure, let’s go find Ginny.”
It turned out they found her sitting on a lounge by the pool in leggings and a t-shirt.
“So, you guys just finished playing in the World Series, any regrets?”
“No, we were excited to get there again this year,” Mike answered sitting next to Ginny.
“I mean, I hate to lose, but we played hard and that’s all you can do.”
“How many baseball games do you think you’ve played in your life?”
“For me? I have no idea. I’ve been playing since I was 5. That’s 35 years, between little league, AA, AAA and the majors? Let’s just say a lot,” Mike laughed.
“Same, minus 10 years,” Ginny added.
“Which of your competitors has helped you improve your game the most?”
“I would say Aaron Judge, a great hitter always makes me work that much harder for a strike.”
“Nolan, Nolan Arenado. I like to steal, but he keeps me honest.”
“If you could play any other sport, what would it be?”
“Tennis?” Ginny shrugged.
“I’ve always liked hockey.”
“Past or present who would you love to play with?”
“I gotta say Babe Ruth,” Mike said.
“For me, Cy Young or Yogi Berra.”
“What’s are you superstitious about?”
“I like a certain practice cage. I don’t know if it is a superstition, but I always go for that one if it’s available, and Mike used to sleep with his bat on game days.”
“Where do you go when you need to relax?”
“If I told you that, it wouldn’t be relaxing anymore,” Mike joked.
“We spend a lot of time at home, but we just took a vacation to Baja and that was really nice.”
“What is your nickname?”
“I call him old man.”
“And I call her rookie.”
Tumblr media
“Who is the funniest person you know?”
“Dwayne,” Ginny answered after a moment of thought.
Mike nodded. “He is great. We were at a fundraiser for his foundation the other day, and everyone at the table was laughing crying.”
“Wait, do you mean Dwayne Johnson?” the interviewer asked.  
“Yeah, we met at the Espys and get together every now and then. He throws a great BBQ every year.”
“OK, what is your go to karaoke song?”
“Baker loves anything by Beyoncé or Katy Perry. I stick to the Eagles and Duran Duran.”
“What song always makes you want to dance?”
“He is right. I love Katy Perry and Beyoncé, but Uptown Funk is my jam.”
“I don’t dance much, but no one can resist Love Shack.”
“What is your walk out song?”
“I have a mix I listen to, it’s mostly instrumentals to help me clear my head.”
“I go for the classic, eye of the tiger.”
“If you could only read one book from now on, what would it be?”
“Treasure Island has been my favorite for a long time. I’ve read it 5-6 times, and I wouldn’t mind reading it again.”
“That is really hard for me, because I don’t read things more than once very often, but… I’m going to say Esperanza Rising. I know it is a kid’s book, but I still have the copy I read in 5th grade. Someday I want to be able to share it with my kid.”
“Most absurd rule in baseball?”
“It’s not really a written rule, but there is this thing where everyone must be involved in am on-field fight. When Gin went after the Mountain, our assistant coach had to walk out there and hold onto the other coach. These guys are in their 60’s hugging on the field so it is nice and even numbers. I mean I get it, but it can look pretty silly.”
“Describe your style in one word?”
“Comfy?” Ginny ventured.
“If you could raid anyone’s closet who would it be?”
“David Beckham,” Mike answered quickly.
“Serena Williams.”
“Any hidden talents?”
“I love to knit.”
“No kidding. I can’t tell you how many times she got me with one of her needles on the bus.”
“On purpose?”
“No, he is just clumsy and doesn’t look before he sits down.”
“I did get some cute hats and that blanket over there out of it, though.” He gestured to a knit blue and white blanket with a Padre’s logo on it draped over a leather chair.
“Looks nice, now for a hard one. What is love?”
“Baby don’t hurt me?” Mike joked, Ginny batted his arm. “No, seriously, love is different for different for different people but for me, it is a commitment to something that you care deeply about.”
“That and finding someone to see the best in you even when you can’t see it in yourself.”
“What is the most romantic thing you’ve done for each other?”
“He leaves me notes in my locker on days when we don’t work together.”  
“She rubs my back.”
“Best or worst pick up line someone has ever used with you?”
“I thought it was funny when this guy said, I was so distracted by you that I ran into that wall over there. So, I am going to need you name and phone number for insurance purposes.”
“Who said that?” Mike asked.
“Never mind, what’s yours?”
“A girl just walked up, put her hand out and asked me I could hold it while she went for a walk.”
“Did you?” the interviewer asked.
“I did,” Mike smiled, then he reached out and squeezed Ginny’s hand.  
“Who was your childhood crush?”
“This guy.”
“She finally admits it. She had my poster on her wall, but now I have hers too.”
“What was the last show you binged?”
“We just got done rewatching all of Brooklyn 99.”
“He was a thing for Rosa.”
“She does too.”
“I mean, doesn’t everyone?”
“Name one thing you can’t live without.”
“Air?” Mike joked.
“A good wifi network,” Ginny groaned. “I hate when I’m on the road and we finally get to a hotel and they have super slow internet. I just want to relax and watch Youtube or scroll tumblr.”
“Name something you are terrible at.”
“Bowling,” Ginny answered.
“I suck at word games, scrabble, boggle, all that stuff. She usually beats me by at least 100 points.”
“What is the most nervous you’ve ever been?”
“My first game in the majors.”
“Same. Mine, not hers. I wasn’t really nervous for her because we didn’t know each other, but I remember almost blacking out the first time I walked onto the field.”  
“Name one bad habit you just can’t break.”
“I bite my fingernails, so I have to keep them super short, but that’s fine, because I would have to for pitching anyway.”
“I am an emotional shopper. When things aren’t going well in life, I use retail therapy way too much.”
“He is not kidding. The good thing is he cleans his closet out once every six months and donates a lot of impulse buys to charity.”
“Craziest fan moment?” “A lady told me she named her baby after me and asked me to sign her. I signed her little shirt, but it was a little weird.”
“What is one phrase you use too much?”
“I’m just sayin’. She keeps reminding me how much it annoys her, but it just rolls off my tongue.”
“That’s ok, I always say my bad, and he hates that, so we are even.”
“If you could be any animal, what would it be?”
“I want to say something bad ass, but really I’m a house cat.”
“I can totally see that. I am a… a bear, but mostly because I just want to sleep and be left alone sometimes.”
“Can you say something in a different language?”
“Que bola? Its Cuban for what’s up. I picked it up from Livan.”
“I speak some Indonesian, from my mom. Tidak apa apa is no worries, which is what I use most in like everyday conversation.”
“What is one cause you care deeply about?”
“It is hard to name one, but I work a lot with our local children’s hospital,” Mike answered.
“I support NAACP legal defense fund, Equal justice initiative and the African wildlife foundation.”
“How do you celebrate your wins?”
“Ice cream or beer depending on the day.”
“How do you deal with loses?”
“I try to figure out what went wrong, so I can do it differently next time,” Ginny said thoughtfully.
“How do you deal with haters?”
Ginny laughed, “You just gotta block’em out.”
“If you could redo one game which would it be?”
“The game where I messed up my knee the first time.”
“Yeah, when I almost got the no hitter and instead messed up my arm, that was pretty bad.”
“Besides baseball what would you like to be remembered for?”
“Being a good person.”
“If you weren’t baseball players, what else would you be?”
“I would do something with cars.”
“I would do something with history? Teaching or maybe be an anthropologist?”
“Do you have a pregame ritual?”
“I have a pump mix but mostly I like to meditate and mentally prepare. I usually go over the lineup one last time with Mike.”
“How many MLB teams can you name in ten seconds?”
“The Padres, the Braves, the Dodgers, the A’s, the Rockies, the Yankees, Sox, Cubs, Phillies, Astros, Mariners…”
Mike took over, “Jays, Giants, Angels, Brewers…”
“And that’s time, good job. Name the best baseball player who ever lived.” “Babe Ruth.”
“Willie Mays.”
“If you could only eat one thing forever, what would it be?”
“Pizza?” Mike answered.
“Burgers, but they have to come with fries,” Ginny chimed in.
 “What movie always makes you cry?”
“Field of dreams.”
“The Lion King.”
“What movie makes you scream in terror?”
“My friends dragged me to the Omen once, which was pretty scary, but mostly I don’t watch scary movies.”
“I watched the exorcist way too young, and that pretty much put me off scary movies for life.”
“What is the most inspirational sports film of all time?”
“I always liked Cinderella Man with Russel Crow.”
“I really liked the Life of Pi.”
“Who do you want to play you in the movie of your life?”
“I don’t know that they would make a movie of my life, but when they make hers I think Ryan Gossling is a good choice, or Ryan Reynolds, or any of the Marvel Chrises.”
“If they made a movie… I would say… Letitia Wright maybe?”
“What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?”
“As a kid I broke my ankle trying to do a skate board trick,” Mike scratched the back of his neck and flushed slightly.
“What is one skill you wish you had but you don’t?”
“I am trying to learn to cook, but Mike still does it most of the time.”
“If you were a super hero, what would your name be?”
“Black Diamond.”
“Beard-Man.”
“Who’s your most famous follower on twitter?”
“I don’t have a twitter.”
“A lot of people follow me to hear about Ginny, I would say Anna Kendrick is the most famous.”
“You travel a lot for work, what are three things you take with you everywhere?”
“My headphones, a neck pillow, and my phone charger.” “Same.”
“Do you have an pets?”
“We have a dog,” Ginny whistled, and a mini pie ball dachshund call running out. “This is Chip. I named her after the cup from beauty and the beast. She is a super sweet girl.”
“What’s your zodiac sign?”
“I am a Libra and Ginny is a Leo.”
“What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?”
“He likes coffee or half-baked and I like Cherry Garcia.”
“What’s one household chore you hate to do?”
“We both hate the dishes, so we do them together, so we can get it over with quickly.”
“Do you have any collections?”
“I have a snow globe collection, and Mike collects baseball memorabilia.”
“Who is more competitive?“
“Me!” they both said quickly, then looked at the other and laughed.
  “What is your go to date night?”
“We like to go see comedians.”
“He just got us tickets to see Ali Wong for our anniversary.”
“If you could go anywhere on vacation where would it be?”
“We are going to Kenya next month, and I am really excited about that,” Ginny answered.
“Me too.”
“What is your love language?”
“I like acts of service and words of affirmation,” Mike answered seriously for once.
“and for me, it is quality time.”
“Sleep in or rise early?”
“Sleep in!” Mike grinned.
“Read a book or watch TV?”
“Watch tv,” they agreed.
“Kiss or hug?”
“Kiss,” they both snapped.
“Strength training or cardio?”
“Cardio,” Ginny answered automatically
“I like strength training,” Mike added.
“You guys recently got married, what was the biggest change?”
“Not really anything? We already lived together.”
“Calling him my husband, is weird sometimes.”
“What was your favorite part of the wedding?”
“When we left?” Ginny laughed.
“What kind of cake did you have?”
“Just plain yellow cake with chocolate frosting,” Mike answered.
“Who caught the bouquet?”
“My agent, Amelia.”
“What song was your first dance to?”
“Unforgettable.”
“What are you doing today?”
“We’re going to the farmer’s market, then coming home for dinner with some friends.” Ginny answered, walking toward the door.
“Can I come along?”
Ginny made a face. “No, thanks for stopping by though.”

Music I  / 1984 - 2009
Tumblr media
I stood on the stairs leading to the apartment. The song was still playing through my earphones and I knew that once I go through the door it would be another world. The music would stop. 
Maybe I could just stand here and listen till it's done, I thought. Maybe I could play it on the home speakers once I get in. No. I can’t. 
Now I'm thinking about it, and can't enjoy it. I pause the music and reach for my keys. 
———
She hates my music.
No, she says she hates music. Who the fuck hates music?!
------
I always had a pair of earphones in my ears. Since I was eleven. An uninterrupted soundtrack that was accompanying my life, whenever I could get away with it that is.
At the very beginning all we had were headphones. Bulky, clunky, headphones with a metal connector and flat over ear foam covers.
I remember how it felt when I got my first earphones though. They came with a black Sony Walkman. My ears were way too small for those plastic earbuds, and the foam covers added more bulk and friction. But when I could get them just right, they drowned out the noise. I was alone with the music.
My first Walkman — well, a nameless portable cassette player, it wasn’t a Sony —  was my older sister’s. I took it with me to school, without her permission. After a couple of days it was confiscated. By someone at school that is. Fascists. Yes, I was eleven, but it’s not like I was listening in class (That wouldn’t come until high school). On the school bus, and during recess. But they still took it away. It was off-white, had only three buttons (for some reason the technology to rewind seemed more challenging than that to fast-forward), and the door was held shut by two rubber bands. But it was mine (my sister’s), and I loved it. They took it.
The fascism didn’t come as a shock. At age six I came to school with a pair of  canary yellow plastic wayfarer style sunglasses with mirrored multicolored lenses with the word Star written across both of them in graffiti style script. It’s difficult to describe, but it was back in 1990, and they were cool. Extra cool for a six-year-old. I think I pulled them off. I’m pretty sure I pulled them off. I remember them so vividly. I loved that yellow. Maybe that explains my lifelong affinity to yellow.
Again, they were my sister’s. And again, I took them without her permission. Pretty ballsy move for a six-year-old. So, I took them to school. And on the first day,  an agent of fascism called Madame Badee3a confiscated them. I was wearing them during recess. Fuck her and her fucking tan stockings. They went up a few inches below her knees and seemed too tight. She probably had varicose veins. Good! I hope they hurt. I would imagine she’s dead by now. I think the world is a better place.  
She never gave them back.  I don’t remember if I confessed to my sister. I probably didn’t.
They gave the cassette player back though.
She used to like music. She used to LOVE music. We fucking bonded over music. We might not have become friends (two decades ago now) if it weren’t for music. I judged people based on shoes, and taste in music. She had great taste in both.  
------
By the time I reached high school, I had progressed through a couple more Walkmans, a Sony Sports Walkman (oh that sweet yellow), a bulky Discman, a round cooler Discman. And finally a super thin silver metal Panasonic CD player that was so thin that it had it’s own flat removable rechargeable batteries. It was too thin for even AAA batteries. I loved that thing. It was a SL-CT 780. Google it.
------
She had many CDs. And she had a cool CD player as well. A Panasonic Shockwave. Rugged  silver metal and blue plastic highlights, seemingly indestructible. With weird looking headphones that hung around your neck with a vibrating part on the back of the neck that vibrated with bass. Panasonic were the shit back then.
I judged people based on their technology. She had great technology.
She lent it to me. For a couple of months. If that’s not a sign of teenage love, I don’t know what is.
------
As I progressed through the tiers of technology, and the genres of music, it became more necessary to keep it playing at all times.
I used to listen during recess and on the school bus. Now I listen in class. Thank god for hoodies. If I didn’t have a hoodie on, I would pull the earphones through my sleeve and put a hand on my ear as if I’m resting my head. Music in one ear beats no music.
By then I had started playing guitar. Now I could play the fucking soundtrack. Holy shit.
------
How can she possibly hate music?  People who hate music don’t get cool state-of-the-art Panasonic CD players.
Maybe lending to me was a sign that she wasn’t serious about her music playback devices?
Was it all a lie?
She sang with me though. I’d play guitar and we’d sing together.
She’s a hell of a singer. Can you hate music and be that good a singer?
------
I always had a pair of earphones in my ears. Through college, every single day. MP3 player by Creative. First iPOD. A Nano (I even got her an iPod Shuffle on my first trip back home from college). And then iPod Touch after graduation, with my investment banking sign-on bonus. Then iPhones took care of that from then on.
I had a pair of earphones in my ears all the time.
We got married. Played guitar and sang at the wedding. Ended with an hour of Karaoke with friends. The soundtrack continues. Now we’re united forever and it’s time for our sountrack. On the first day of our honeymoon, we were exploring the streets of Barcelona. I put one earphone in my left ear and gave her the other to put in her right. She didn’t want it.
OK.
I’ll keep one in my ear though. Just like high school. Let’s keep walking.
She lets me do that for a while. We had an argument about it. She said it was ridiculous. To put it away. I refused.  
Of course it was ridiculous. But she was taking away my music. After an hour of lovely but awkward strolling, I stopped enjoying the soundtrack. I took the earphone out. She unplugged the soundtrack.
——-
She Madame Badee3a’ed my music.
Now she says she hates music.
Who the FUCK hates music?!

copy and pasted credits under the cut bc i ended up writing a lot.
like 3 utau things that im working on bc im suffering and bored but also this kinda only makes me suffer more so idk lol. as you can tell they're super rough and nowhere near done at all lol.
honestly, im not totally sure who made the midi of Candy Store or Walking on Sunshine. The thing about me making utau covers of popular English songs is that theyre more of a personal fun practice "can i finally learn how to do english utau???" plus i never really completely finish or publish anything, so i'm not too sure of any etiquette when it comes to finding random midis and stuff, if it even exists...anyways if i do finish it, since the original midi isnt mine, i dont have any plans on sharing the usts or anything. id be happy to like write the vccv english that i used in a text file and put it on google drive or something, but i dont think i'd feel cool w/ sharing usts based on other things that technically aren't mine? you know? this also goes for the weight of the world english cover that i'm attempting (read: cobbling together noises that vaguely sound like english).
anyways! i'll still try to give credits even tho idk some things! in order of appearance: 
Yami Ryone English VCCV belongs to Ts99 (孙雅99) - http://ryoneyami.com/ Candy Store - Heathers the Musical (song written by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy. I specifically listened to the version performed by Jessica Keenan Wynn (Heather Chandler), Elle McLemore (Heather McNamara) and Alice Lee (Heather Duke)
Random internet midi - mididb.com (says it's by The MIDI Karaoke Backing Tracks Production Team. yeah, idk who they are either)
音暖ののん / Nono Nonon-English (VCCV) (what a long name...) belongs to hznonosuka - https://hznonoka.wixsite.com/utau 
Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves (written by Kimberley Rew) (although the version that I grew up listening to was Aly and AJ's cover on Disney Channel lol) (the original music video is really silly though too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUmE...) 
Random internet midi - freemidi.org (i guess the 14 tracks were every instrument and harmony? aaa i had to sort through it to find the vocal track and it was uhh. a difficult time. it turned out to be track 5.) 
Karasu Yuutsukoe / Karasu Yuutsukoe English belongs to revolocities - http://www.karasu.utau.us/ 
Weight of the World - NieR: Automata OST by Keiichi Okabe/Keigo Hoashi/Kuniyuki Takahashi. Japanese version sung by Marina Kawano, but for the English cover it was J'Nique Nicole. (I'm trying to channel Emi Evans and see if you can uh wrangle the sounds of VCCV English into her famous and confusing Chaos language that's used in the NieR series. it's uh. it's in even more baby stage than this cover and uh. it's nothing but suffering. please don't try to to do pure conlang song covers kids....) 
Weight of the World UST -  by Drk and Vanillars (https://soundcloud.com/martyrups/the-...) (that's right, this was an actual ust from soundcloud) (their cover w/ Rouon Aro sounds so good! i feel bad that i'll probably be messing up their good tuning later to make the english blend better aaaaaa please listen to the original japanese cover they made on soundcloud!!)
oh, yeah, also sorry for the obs popping up. don't understand what's up with that, but i assume it's insulting my internet connection by the "can't connect to server" or whatever error? if anyone has an answer as of how to stop it from interrupting while im trying to record, you'll be a real swell pal by commenting below on how to stop obs from making my awkward and unprofessional videos even more awkward and unprofessional to watch. 
 anyways, that's it. fall semester of my senior year of college started a week ago so i'll either be so busy that i can never finish these, or i'll get really bored and procrastinate by actually finishing something.

You got any kaesetsu headcannons?
AAA AA IM SORRY THIS IS SO LATE I WAS BUSY FOR THE PAST MONTH but YES i definitely do have some kaesetsu headcanons! i’ll list five and put them under a read more!!!!!!!!!
1) not exactly a headcanon or kaesetsu-centric, (focuses more on setsu, actually, but it connects to kaesetsu as well) but i like to think that setsu is introverted and (possibly?) socially awkward. 
he isn’t fond of social interaction, with how we see since the beginning of the anime, he mostly keeps to himself and actually doesn’t interact with anyone! he’s probably the type who gains friends by having people go to him first (which is how i think he met haruka, bc unlike him, haruka shows to be more open). 
he probably has a hard time getting along with others because of his interests, as well, since i’m sure many boys his age would like to watch TV shows or play outside. meanwhile, setsu prefers to read books. he probably does play games with haruka or whatever, but i think if he had to choose between playing or reading, he would read.
i’ve seen a lot of people mischaracterize him as the cool, suave kid who should have confessed to kaede in s1, but no, he really isn’t like that at all and i don’t think he should have confessed to her right then and there! there’s lots of moments in the anime where he gets flustered easily and he becomes soft-hearted. sure, he initially didn’t appreciate kaede and azumi’s character when he first met them, but over time, through the first 3 seasons of mirumo, he grew to find the good things about them, especially with kaede!!!
we’re straying now a bit SO THE MAIN THING I WANT TO EXPLAIN IS: throughout the series, i think kaede is the force that helps setsu grow and learn to become more open to others! from someone who is unwilling to interact with others, we see him grow to love and appreciate his friends! he gets overlooked a lot, i swear, but i think his growth throughout the anime is one of my favorites! ITS JUST SO CUTE AND IT MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY PLS APPRECIATE SETSU YUUKI MORE 2K18,,,,
-
2) when kaesetsu starts dating, i like to think that they probably took things really slow. they probably won’t kiss until…they reach the near end of high school hjkdsfsdkj (though one of the mirumo games defy this but its also not compliant with the anime so-). they probably only got as far as hugging from their junior high graduation (which is at the end of the anime lol).
BUT they probably had a lot of indirect kisses before they actually kissed! there’s a segment at the finale ending where kaede fed setsu ice cream. they probably ate from the same spoon so :’))))
-
3) there’s two places that kaesetsu love to have dates in. first, inspired by the anime, is going to the cafe! i headcanon that kaede loves to eat parfaits, and there’s a cafe in the town that monthly have new parfait recipes introduced. they spend time their dates in the cafe, at most, once a month. setsu doesn’t have a big sweet tooth as kaede, but he loves to go there with her because that’s also where they had their first date.
the other place where they love having dates in is probably when they’re camping or mountain hiking! i remember an episode where setsu went out of town with his family to the mountains and rented a cottage, so i can imagine kaesetsu doing something similar to that? though they probably can’t rent a cottage, so they go camping instead.
why i thought of camping and mountain hiking is because it’s…well, they probably feel more at peace when they’re alone together. while beach is an option as well, it doesn’t feel like…something they would do all the time. my perception is kaesetsu is that they prefer to having dates in more secluded places, where they can be with each other and only with each other. the cafe is an exception, because they see it as a special place (and come on, dates in cafes are always cute :3). hence why i thought of camping and mountain hiking, because it’s a date where they probably won’t have a lot of interaction with others!
another plus for dates in camping and mountain hiking, sunrises and sunsets are beautiful on the mountain, and i think they would love that!
other places where they enjoy having dates in: karaokes, probably their own houses, the school rooftop, and the library because of setsu!
-
4) KAESETSU KISSES………..it starts with the hand. one day, setsu takes kaede’s hand and kisses it as a thank you for being with him today. he realizes what he did and they’re both embarrassed. especially setsu, because he’s a big dork and he is super new to all this romance stuff despite dating kaede for two years now.
then he keeps kissing her since that date. on the hand, cheek, neck when he’s feeling bold, but inevitably, he lean close to her and asks if he can kiss on the lips, and she complies. they kiss with the sunset behind them, and after one kiss, setsu leans in again for another. and another. AND ANOTH
basically, they learn that they really like to kiss each other. as i said, they take it slow, but once they’re used to it, it becomes a habit.
-
5) LAST ONE kaede likes to hug setsu a lot,,,well, after they get used to the fact they’re actually dating each other, kaede tries to be more forward and hugs him a lot!! ESPECIALLY FROM BEHIND, kaede likes to hug setsu from behind and he always gets flustered everytime it happens!!!!! SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!
-
i guess thats all my headcanons?? i have more but they’ll be really really long if i keep on writing. 
i have some more mirumo content, to the point i wrote some fics for it quite recently! it’s a five part series, with two of the five completed so far! this is the first fic and then here’s the second fic!
welp i guess that’s all?? im thankful youre supportive and willing to hear me ramble abt this ship, bc i dont get a lot of opportunities too ;u;

Hope everything is going good for you, darling!~ So what about all members of Libra going together to a karaoke night? Who would be the most excited? Who woudn't? What woud they choose to sing? Would they sing solos or with their s/o? Who would end up singing a little tipsy? (the five of your choice Gwyn! I let that to you :3)
l sincerely hope everything is going well for you as well, anon~ 
Thank you for being so patient with me!!
Steven
Doesn’t really want to sing but in the end, he might join in on a song that’s honestly too irresistible to not sing to (like uhhh bohemian rhapsody??? how can one not sing to it??)
His s/o might be able to get him to sing a duet with them hehe. 
Okay but Steven singing La Vie En Rose to his s/o. Please. 
He’s one of the ones in the karaoke room that has a drink or two. By the end of the night, he’s got this light blush in his cheeks. 
For once, he’s actually quite relaxed to be spending time with friends and colleagues. It’s definitely a good time for Steven aha
Leonardo
A little shy about singing but he ends up doing it since everyone else is having so much fun doing it aha
Sings his heart out for a few of his favorite songs. He needs a drink of water because of how tired he is from singing lol
Okay but Leo singing Sugar Song & Bitter Step. It doesn’t matter what language it’s in just think of it…. the wonderful possibility… 
He’ll sing along with his s/o~ The blush in his cheeks would be evident if he sings a love song with his s/o aha
Leo won’t exactly drink aside from maybe one drink, but that’s it (water is his lifeline though lol)
Chain
Chain would be mostly quiet, aside from making a few comments at Zapp’s antics lol 
She wouldn’t be very fond of singing in front of the others, but her s/o might be able to get her to sing with them! There’d be a huge blush on her cheeks when she sings with them aha (and if she’s watching her s/o sing~)
Of course, she downs a few drinks. And by a few, it’s probably a lot. If she somehow manages to get drunk she kind of impulsively takes a swing at karaoke lol 
I’m not exactly sure what kind of songs Chain would like to sing?? But tbh I think we’d all like to see her rap very fast (throwback to that one ask that had Chain be able to sing kpop songs effortlessly) 
Zapp
I think it’s sorta a given that Zapp would get drunk at karaoke night. I mean, after a few drinks he’s already yelling into the mic, singing drunkenly. (s/o probably laughing at him lol)
By the end of it, he’s already passed out on the couch of the room. S/o or someone has to wake him up so he doesn’t spend the night there lol (S/o or Chain pouring water on him like in that one vine. ok im sorry I’ll see myself out) 
I have the feeling Zapp will sing at classical rock songs?? Or almost any song tbh hmmm…. (im sorry this is so vague aAA)
Klaus
He’d have so much fun at karaoke night!! Klaus honestly just loves this time to spend with all his friends :) 
Pretty sure he’ll sing practically any song that catches his eye in the gigantic book of songs to choose. If he finds one he recognizes he’ll choose that one to sing. 
He’d love to sing with his s/o!! Especially if it’s a nice love song duet :) (even if it’s a bit cheesy aha)
Klaus would like to solo sing the kind of songs that have that kind of softer edge to them, if that’s specific???? I have the feeling he’d like to sing songs that are like Fly Me To The Moon or similar aaa

Shiwasu Kakeru : Yuki Kaji
師走 駆 : 梶 裕貴
[Crowd murmuring]
[Kakeru drops his stuff, apparently very shocked]
Aa… well… He did say it’s a surprise but…… Haa… Honestly, I’ve never thought it will be like this or more like… he’ll do it this much…
[Clock ringing]
Why is it when I came back from my part-time job, the apartment has turned into a castle!!???
********************
[Dog barking]
Yes, yes… that’s true, Sensei*. Aa no, it’s not like I’m shaken by this… never mind, I’m clearly disturbed by this. Anyway, the thing is, when I went back home, the apartment had really turned into castle.Yes… castle, a castle. The kind you see in the middle of a theme park, with fireworks flying in the back and the type that a princess would live in… yes… that’s right, that kind of castle.
You don’t…get it? ……I know right… Normally it’s like that, isn’t it! You don’t get it at all right!? Me too! That’s what I want to say too! I want to knock some common sense into that person’s head!!
Aa… I’m sorry. I’m a little bit distracted. Emm, anyway, I can’t sleep on a bed that is sticked with pink frills or more like, because I feel that I’m losing if I sleep there. Tonight, I’m going to ask Koi to let me stay at his house.
A… Yes… I know…right? It’s completely better than if say, one day the apartment is blown off entirely by a river** right? More or less the roof and the walls still remained right? Even though I can’t get the deposit money back or like the complete restoration(of the apartment) is not my responsibility. Even though there are a lot of places to retort to***, it’s best to have a positive outlook! Ahaha! Ahahaha! Ha… haa……
[slides down]
The place where I am now? The nearby park. At any rate, I thought it’s best to go to a quiet place and cool my head down. Like what I’ve said just now, I’ve confirmed a place to stay for tonight… starting tomorrow… the castle.
Aa… That one alone, I absolutely reject it. Well… sensei, until I found another place to stay, could you ask whether I could temporarily use an empty room at the school’s dormitory?
Ah, yes… I’m sorry. Thank you, I appreciate your help. Yes, well then, excuse me.
[hang up the phone]
[cars passing by]
Aaah…….. Haa……. God, I am sorry. Nooo matter what, I couldn’t keep up with that outrageous thinking father.
Aah… I know that the person himself has no evil intention, he really just wanted to make me happy but still, he misses the mark fatally!
His common sense, has gone missing! Khh…..
Aa…. Haa….
[light thud]
Ha? Eh? Just now, there’s something in my hand… Ha, Huwaaa!! Ra, rabbit!?? Stray!? A stray rabbit!?? It’s hu- huge! Hah!
[hop, hop, hop]
Ooh… It’s surprisingly docile though, you… don’t bite, right?
(hesitantly touch the rabbit) Fuwaa….. it’s really a rabbit… Even though I’ve never seen one this big, it certainly is a rabbit.
[caressing the fur]
Ha. The fur is soft! A, hahaha… Ooo… What’s with you, you’re really friendly with people huh? Where do you come from? Are you somebody’s pet? Don’t tell me, you’re really a stray one.
[someone’s footsteps approaching]
A? Eh? G-Good evening… (the rabbit hops towards the person) A, well… are you perhaps that rabbit’s owner? Aa… As I thought… Haha… Yeah… as expected there’s no way a stray rabbit will be this fine and big.
Eh? This rabbit, ran away? It was usually kept in the company…
Hee…Aaa… no, it’s just I’ve never seen a rabbit this big…
Huh? Me? “Am I running away from home too?”,you asked? Aa… Ahaha… Do I look that way?
You don’t have to clearly nod your head like that, aa… well… you are not mistaken though… I’m currently living apart from my parents and I live alone.
Ha…. But then that room… has disappeared~~ Ha.. Rather than disappeared it’s more like, I can’t go back. Haa.. seriously… what should I do starting from tomorrow??
Huh? Aa… A, thanks, err.. a business card?
Tsukino Talent Production… There’s a part-time job with a fairly favorable terms which includes a fully furnished dormitory, with 3 meals a day and no rental fee, though you have to work in exchange****. The hourly wage rate will be calculated accordingly to the lowest deposit rate*****.
What’s that? It sounds too good to be true, it’s suspicious. Umm.. no… what do you mean ‘You’ll be fine’? So, what?
Huh? Song? You mean… THAT song right? Well… Once in a while, I did go to karaoke with my friends though… Dance? No, I’ve never done it before…
[The man grabs Kakeru and starts dragging him]
Huh? Um, wait, did you listen to what I’ve just said? Could you please let go of my hand? U, Um! Wait! Hueeee!!!! “It’s okay, it’ll be alright”, you said? This is not okay at all!!! This is totally a kidnapping!!!
That’s why! This is not the time to laugh, please listen to what I’m sayi- Uwaaaa!!! Gya! NNGGRRH!!! Seriously!!! Why do things like this keep happening around me!!!!????

Baby Steps (AAA Girls) - Stella
A/N: A continuation of Come Alive. Alaska takes Courtney and Willam up on their proposed date. They say three’s a crowd, but Alaska’s never felt more cozy.
Alaska should’ve known it wouldn’t have been a simple dinner and a movie with Willam and Courtney. Not that their proposed date was wild, per se. But a karaoke bar wasn’t something Alaska would’ve thought of. Then again, Alaska didn’t go on that many dates.
The place they went to was actually pretty nice, for what it was. The stage was wide and the equipment looked expensive. There were even booths to sit in and have a meal while watching the entertainment. Courtney had apparently made a reservation, so the three of them were led to a table.
“Looks like a fun girl’s night out,” the hostess commented cheerfully as she seated them.
“It’s gonna be a fun girl’s night in and out,” Willam shot back. The hostess blinked, smiled stiffly, then hurried away.
“You look lovely, Alaska,” Courtney interjected, always trying to keep the peace. Out of the two of them, Courtney seemed more aware of Alaska’s skittishness. Courtney’s smile was always so disarming, a soothing charisma radiating off of her like an aura. She made Alaska feel safe, even when Willam was causing trouble.
“Thank you, so do you,” Alaska replied. It was true, they both looked amazing. For college students they both had expensive taste in clothes. Alaska felt plain next to them, her bodycon dress made of cheap pleather and her jewelry often staining her skin green. But Willam’s roaming eyes and Courtney’s words made Alaska feel sexy. She just needed to get out of her own head.
“Are you hungry? Or do you want to just get drinks?” Courtney pressed. Willam already had the drink list in her hand.
“I’m okay, we can just get drinks,” Alaska assured. Her stomach was turning with nerves, there was no way she could eat without making herself feel sick. Luckily, Alaska knew herself well enough to pick at some leftovers beforehand so she wouldn’t be starving.
“So we finally get to see you drunk,” Willam cheered. She wrapped her arm around Alaska’s shoulder and grinned. Her body was pressed close to Alaska’s, making the younger girl blush. Willam’s thick thighs, which Alaska had admired from afar, were now flush against Alaska’s much less impressive ones.
“Um, yeah,” Alaska murmured. Her mind was racing with fleeting thoughts of where exactly Alaska wanted those thighs. Specifically, around her face. Willam’s dark eyes bore into Alaska, like she could see straight into Alaska’s mind. Her blush deepened.
“I don’t know about you, but this fruity thing looks delicious,” Courtney chirped, oblivious to the sexual tension radiating from the other two. She had the drink list in her hand now, and her nail was tapping against one of the ridiculously named cocktails.
“Those things are ninety percent sugar, eight percent water, and two percent alcohol,” Willam countered. Courtney wrinkled her nose.
“I like sweet things,” she pouted. “Like Alaska.”
Willam groaned but Alaska smiled, her hand linking with Courtney’s under the table.
“I’m definitely going to need a drink now. I’m lactose intolerant, I can’t put up with your cheesy bullshit.”  
“I promise we’ll be good,” Courtney assured, batting her eyelashes innocently. Alaska smiled as charmingly as she could. Willam didn’t look convinced by either of them.
Thankfully the waitress made her appearance. Courtney and Alaska both ordered something fun while Willam stuck to a whiskey on the rocks. When their drinks came, they settled back into the booth to watch the people singing on stage.
It was funny watching normal people perform in front of a crowd. Most came in groups, belting along to classics sloppily. Some people treated the stage like an open audition, trying way too hard with their singing for a karaoke bar full of drunks.
“Ugh, these people all suck. I’m gonna go show ‘em how it’s done,” Willam decided. She pushed out of the booth and straightened her skirt. “Cheer extra loud for me.”
She shot a wink over her shoulder before heading to the DJ booth. As Willam talked to the employee and flipped through their large book of selections, Alaska turned to Courtney.
“I didn’t know she could sing,” Alaska commented.
“We both can! Why do you think we’re at a performing arts school?” Courtney replied with raised eyebrows.
“I thought she was here for comedy or something, she’s so funny. You I can see as a little theater kid. You’re like Glinda personified.”
Courtney brought her hand to her chest and gasped. “That is the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me,” she teased. “But yes, Willam is here for theater. I think she’d make a wonderful comedian too, though. She doesn’t listen to me.”
“Up next is William, performing a classic Britney song with a rock twist!” The announcer cheered over the speaker, drawing Courtney and Alaska’s attention. Willam climbed on stage straight to the microphone, a frown on her face.
“It’s Willam,” she replied sharply into the mic as the music started playing. She seemed so comfortable on stage, her hips immediately swaying in time with the heavy guitar. Her colorful pigtails looked even more vibrant in the lights on stage, and the glitter on her lids sparkled. She looked like she lived up there.
When she started singing, everyone in the club seemed hooked. Willam was good, but in such an effortless way. It wasn’t just her voice that drew people in; it was her body language, her presence. She seemed dangerous with the loud rock backing her and the glint in her eyes. She was captivating. Alaska couldn’t tear her eyes away.
“She’s good, isn’t she?” Courtney had a fond look on her face as she watched Willam sing.
“Amazing,” Alaska agreed. Alaska was surrounded by singers all day, but Willam was something else.
Her set finished up, and she was met with wild applause. Willam looked smug as she traipsed back over to their table, taking her spot by Alaska’s side again.
“How’d I do?” She asked, but the glimmer in her eyes said she knew just how good she was. Alaska, feeling brave, leaned in for a quick kiss.
“You did amazing,” she drawled. Willam’s smirk widened and she wound her hand around the back of Alaska’s neck and pulled her back in for a deeper kiss. The cocktails had worked wonders to loosen Alaska up, so kissing Willam in semiprivate didn’t seem like such a bad idea. Willam’s mouth was sharp with whiskey, contrasting with the sweet fruitiness leftover on Alaska’s tongue. They kissed like they were alone, but when Courtney’s hand snuck onto Alaska’s thigh she remembered there was another member of their little triad there.
Alaska pulled back, her eyes lingering on Willam’s lips.
“Willam, always hopping from one performance to the next,” Courtney teased.
“Fuck off Court.” Willam flipped off the Aussie, who responded by sticking her tongue out.
“Are you going to sing, Courtney?” Alaska asked. Courtney pursed her lips thoughtfully.
“I don’t know,” she mused, and rolled her eyes when Willam mocked how she pronounced ‘know’. “I’ll sing if you sing, how about that?”
Alaska’s smile dropped and she shrugged shyly. Give her a script and months of rehearsal and she had no problem getting up on stage in front of people. But karaoke was too unpredictable for her. Even if it was a song she knew well, who knew what key it would be in and if the tempo had been messed with at all. The karaoke websites always used odd versions of the instrumentals. She didn’t want to step on stage and end up falling flat because the music was off.
“Oh c’mon Lasky. What if we did a group number?” Willam offered.
“Oh, yeah Bill! We could be the Spice Girls, minus two members,” Courtney added.
“What song would you guys want to do?” Alaska asked. The two stared at her like she was speaking in tongues.
“We’re at a fuckin’ karaoke bar, what Spice Girls song do you think?” Willam shot back.
“Fair enough.”
Courtney climbed out of the booth to go sign the three of them up. Alaska grabbed her glass off of the table and downed the rest of her drink. She wanted to be as far from sober as possible for this, and from her light-headedness she was getting there.
“Relax,” Willam soothed, brushing her long nails through Alaska’s hair. Her touch and gentle tone were enough to have Alaska untensing. Courtney bounced back over, her skirt swishing around her thighs.
“We’ll be up soon, c’mon,” she chirped. Willam and a reluctant Alaska stood up and the three of them made their way over to the stage.
“There are only two microphones, but we can share Alaska,” Courtney said as they approached the stairs. “Willam’s a diva so she needs her own mic.”
It was their turn to go on stage, so they quickly climbed the stairs and settled at the two microphone stands. Courtney’s arm wrapped protectively around Alaska’s waist as the music started playing.
Shockingly, Alaska had a great time during their brief onstage appearance. Once the initial embarrassment faded and the inescapable joy that the Spice Girls invoked kicked in, Alaska found herself getting into the song. Plus, the three of them meshed well together. The three of them harmonized well, with Courtney’s sweet high notes and Willam’s perfect pitch on the melody. Alaska fell easily into the lower harmony, balancing out the trio. It felt so natural, and by the end of the song, Alaska was buzzing with excitement. It seemed like she wasn’t alone, either.
“Fuck, we’re good,” Willam enthused as she bounded off the stage. Courtney had a bright grin on her face as she followed and her arms wrapped around Willam’s waist from behind as they walked.
“We should start a band!” Courtney looked back at Alaska and wagged her eyebrows suggestively. Alaska giggled and shook her head.
“I’ve got enough shit going on with school, I couldn’t handle an extra curricular.” Courtney pouted, but was distracted by the fact that they were back at their table again.
“Shut up about bands, Court. What we really need to focus on is more drinking,” Willam said as she waved down their waitress.
More drinking they did. The three of them stayed at the bar for another hour, knocking back drinks and messing around together. It’d been a while since Alaska had let loose like that. By the time they decided to end the night there, she was too hammered to even walk straight.
“Oh Lasky,” Courtney cooed as she propped Alaska up. “You’re never gonna make it home like this. You should crash at Bill and my place.”
“You’re so smart and beautiful,” Alaska sighed, pressing a sloppy kiss to Courtney’s cheek. Willam looked very amused with the whole situation.
Alaska was corralled into a car and the drive to the other two’s apartment passed in a blur. Alaska recognized the street where their building was when they arrived, as it was only a few blocks away from their campus. The complex was popular among upperclassmen who wanted to get out of the dorms but not have a terrible commute to class.
They took the elevator up to their floor and Courtney struggled with the key as she tried to get their door open.
“Home sweet home!” She called when it finally swung open. The couch in the center of the room looked so inviting, so Alaska carefully worked her way over until she could collapse into the soft cushions.
“C’mere,” she said, her voice whiny as she made grabby hands at both Willam and Courtney.
“What are we going to do with you Miss Alaska?” Courtney sighed, sitting down daintily by Alaska’s side.
“You could kiss me,” Alaska suggested, her hand dropping to Courtney’s thigh and squeezing. With her inhibitions lowered, Alaska found it so much easier to say what she wanted. She’d spent weeks torturing herself over the two of them and how empowered they made her feel. But now that she was here, in their apartment, she could let herself have everything she dreamed of.
“Oh, could I?” Courtney teased, tilting her chin up. Alaska bent down and kissed Courtney. It was the first time the two of them had kissed that night, but it was well worth it. Both girls’ personalities seeped through their actions, and Courtney’s attentiveness and peppiness translated well through her lips.
Willam wrapped her arms around Alaska’s shoulders from behind the couch and pressed her lips to Alaska’s cheek, then trailed down to her neck. Alaska felt so surrounded by the two of them. She was unused to being the center of attention, and now that she was, she was hooked.
Alaska reached back for her zipper to try and free herself from the confines of her pleather dress, but Willam’s hand stopped her.
“Not tonight gorgeous,” Willam soothed in her ear. “Wouldn’t be right with you all drunk and sloppy.”
Alaska whined but Courtney pulled away too.
“You can sleep in my room tonight and I can crash with Bill. C’mon sweetheart, let’s get you changed.”
Together Courtney and Willam led Alaska to Courtney’s room and helped her get changed into a tank top and pajama bottoms that didn’t reach her ankles. They tucked her into Courtney’s bed, the pillows perfumed with the scent of Courtney’s shampoo.
“If you feel the need to throw up there’s a trash can to your left,” Courtney advised.
“You guys are such cockblocks,” Alaska moped. Courtney just silently pressed a kiss to Alaska’s forehead and the two girls left the room. The darkness of the room coupled with the warmth of Courtney’s bed quickly lulled Alaska to sleep.
***
Alaska awoke when the sun barely started filtering through the window. Her stomach turned with nausea, and every pulse in her temple felt like a hammer to her brain. When she opened her eyes, she was disoriented at first. But she quickly realized whose bedroom she was in.
Sitting in Courtney’s bedroom felt invasive, so Alaska made her way back into the living room. Willam’s bedroom door was still closed, so the other two were most likely still sleeping. That was fine though, Alaska could keep herself entertained. There was a pile of books and fashion magazines on the coffee table, so Alaska picked up the trashiest looking romance novel from the bunch and settled down on the couch.
She was so submerged in the story that she didn’t notice when Willam’s door finally opened.
“Morning Lasky,” Willam greeted sleepily. Her colorful hair was now thrown up into a bun, and she wore nothing but a short t-shirt and a sinfully tiny pair of panties. It was a distracting sight.
“You’re up early,” Alaska commented. Out of the two of them, Alaska assumed that Courtney would’ve been the early riser.
“My back was acting up,” Willam replied, stifling a yawn. “Do you want coffee?”
Alaska nodded, so the two of them moved to the kitchen area. Willam grabbed two mugs out of the cabinet and turned on the coffee machine. When their drinks were ready, they sat down at the kitchen table and silently enjoyed each other’s company.
Courtney joined them not long after. She didn’t bother with coffee, instead dropping directly into Willam’s lap and pecking her lips.
“Good morning my little songbirds,” the Aussie murmured, her head resting on Willam’s shoulder. She looked like she was still half asleep.
“Ugh, when did you get so fat?” Willam groaned, looping her arms protectively around Courtney’s waist.
“When you started making pot brownies instead of joints,” Courtney shot back.
Alaska watched them interact fondly. It was clear that they were in their space, their guards completely down. Alaska was privileged to be let into their space. Yet it felt natural being here. Her feet were kicked up on the spare chair, the Golden Girls mug warming her palms. It was a scene Alaska could see herself wanting every day.
Courtney’s eyes finally met Alaska’s and she smiled warmly. Alaska’s stomach fluttered with affection.
She was so gone for these two, and, luckily, they were bringing her along for the ride.

Nissy Entertainment 1st LIVE Report:
for the sake of Ito Chiaki’s graduation from AAA
“There may be people who already know and those who still do not know, but our member, Ito Chiaki has a child inside her, and it’s a good news. Congratulations. She’ll become a mother”, said Nissy who has not given any comments on SNS aside from the official site. “You’re curious about what I’m thinking, right?”, calling the attention of the audience, he put his frank feelings into words. 
“Of course it’s a good news, but we’re all human beings, and I am for one, we have our own respective thoughts. Some congratulate, some aren’t convinced, some don’t care either way, there are those who approve and those who disapprove. But the one we have to respect the most is the feelings of the person herself. I don’t think talking about her private matter as an entertainment at all, and I think putting the various thoughts I have into words would be good, but I am a singer. That’s why I want you to listen to it through song”.  
“I’m borrowing this song and properly putting my feelings, so I’d be glad if you can honestly listen to it”, Nissy said before singing AAA’s song, “Believe own way”, for Ito Chiaki’s sake. He softly sang while the lyrics were being flashed on the screen. Though he appeared overcome with emotion at times, he showed a refreshing smile at the end of the song.
excitement with SMAP’s “SHAKE”
“I have a song that I love which made me want to enter this industry”, Nissy said as he smiled, “Because they are here (heart). I couldn’t see the last episode because I was recording that time. I finished around 3-4 o’clock, then went to a karaoke with the staffs afterwards, and sang a number of their songs”.
“There are various things that people think but I respect the intention of the members themselves. (I believe) they’ll come back again someday”, speaking in a very Nissy-like tone, “it’s already my own problem to believe so. How serious am I in believing? Well, I do think feelings change. But that’s my opinion til the bitter end”, he showed off “SHAKE” by SMAP who he admires.
“I’m truly being loved”
"I’m truly being loved. Thank you”, said Nissy with a smile as he heard the “Nissy” call during the MC and the comments from the audience. “Just when I was thinking I’m going to try hard and aim for Budoukan, I heard that I could do it in an arena. I never really thought that, so being able to do my first LIVE here and to have additional performances made me happy.”
Looking back 
“I’m going to bid farewell to this stage today, it makes me sad, and it’s not about the set list”, he reminisces as the audience applaud. “I’m really happy with the applause. However, more than anything, the reason I am standing here is because everyone’s here. Please also applaud the staffs who connected me and everyone of you.”
And after the applause, “let’s work again together for the 2nd tour! The only ones who can follow Nissy are us!”, a comment from the staffs were projected on the screen. “That’s dangerous! You’re getting too excited, ne (laughs)”, Nissy mischievously commented. While being grateful to the staffs that worked together with him for about 1 year, he added, “I’ve been supported by various people. My first LIVE has ended, and people have their respective thoughts. But doing this in this form this time, there’s nothing but gratitude. Thank you very much”.
* Also on this day (01/22), it has been announced that “Nissy Entertainment 1st LIVE” DVD will be released this spring.

Drabble Race Part C
And here are my final drabble race contributions. Once again below the cut because there’s a lot.
Ultraviolet 1 “I hate Ultraviolet,” Clint groaned. “Why did you put this movie on?”
“It’s not a cinematic masterpiece,” Darcy agreed as she grabbed her bottle of wine with a crazy straw sticking out of it. It had been a gift from Jane when she had been accepted into her PhD program. “But it reminds me of Jane and Thor and London, and I was feeling a bit nostalgic today so I put it on.”
Clint looked at her carefully.
“Is that really it?” he asked, and she wondered what he had seen that made him think it was more.
“Yeah.”
2 “This is the best band in Seattle and you’re just going to have to quietly acquiesce to being wrong if you think otherwise,” her date sniffed.
It might have been cute if there were more established. If they had been together and had time to have little inside jokes or cute little arguments that were really just veiled flirting, but this was a first date, and thus there was no context for her with regards to what appeared to be a pretty shitty attitude.
“So if I were to say Ultraviolet Primrose was better?” she asked feeling him out.
“Then we’d be done here.”
“Cool,” she said, grabbing her purse.
3 “I don’t know if Ultraviolet is the right name for this flavor,” she said with a frown as she scooped the ice cream out of the counter top maker. She and Spencer had been working on making their own experimental flavors and naming each in a cute little lab notebook he had bought just for this purpose.
“Why not?” he asked from behind her as he grabbed bowls and spoons.
“It’s move mauve than anything, and I feel like that color isn’t befitting the name.”
He looked over her shoulder and tilted his head a bit. “You might be right,” he agreed.
4 “I’ve never been to a AAA ball game,” he admitted, “but I’m glad we’re here.”
“I can’t believe you’ve lived here basically all your life and never been!” Darcy said. “This place is the best. I love small stadiums. It’s almost like the mom and pop shop of baseball.”
“Well, I’ve been kinda busy.”
“Too busy to watch baseball”
“Well id does normally last hours and honestly it doesn’t always feel like much happens.”
She gasped. “Blasphemy!” she cried. 
He laughed at her. “You don’t even like baseball. We’re here for the free stickers.”
She smiled. “They were definitely worth the price of admission to the Ultraviolets game.”
5 “So, like, what does it mean if something is ultraviolet anyway?” her niece asked with wide eyes.
“Well, you know how you can see all sorts of different colors? Like with your markers?” she asked as she colored along with the little girl.
“Yeah?”
“Well sometimes there are colors that our eyes can’t even see for a variety of reasons. Ultraviolet is kinda like that. We know it exists because there are special ways to take pictures of light our eyes can’t see.”
“Weird,” the girl said as she reached for another marker without capping the last one.
“Indeed,” Darcy agreed as she snagged the lid to cap it.
6 “It’s like this special ultraviolet paint that you put on the wall and even thought you can’t see it, it has healing properties,” her mom said as she stirred the paint in the can that looked suspiciously like it was just Modge Podge with little flecks of silver glitter in it.
“Riiight,” Darcy said, blowing the word out as she tried to figure out how to tackle this one with her mom. “Errr, where did you buy it? It isn’t a brand I recognize.”
“Oh, this lady at work sells it. She’s working on a patent.”
“Right,” Darcy said again.
7 “I want to name her ultraviolet,” Darcy said as she hugged the kitten to herself.
“That’s a weird name choice,” Jane said as they picked up a cat carrier and other essentials.
“Maybe,” Darcy allowed, “but when I was little there was this neighbor that used to read the dictionary. She was the only kid my age, so we were kinda friends by proxy. Every day she would bring me a new word. Ultraviolet was the last word she ever shared with me.”
“Okay, not so weird then,” Jane said as she picked up a toy with a feather on the end. “Kinda sweet, actually.”
Black hole 1 “It’s like your room is a black hole,” Jane said with tones of both disgust and awe as she looked at the space.
“Like you don’t also have better things to do with your time than clean your room,” Darcy said. “I mean, really. I was with you in New Mexico. If I remember right, you made cleaning up the living quarters part of my intern duties.”
Jane sighed. “Yeah. Fair. I might not have room to talk, but you definitely took this to a level that even I could not compete with.”
“Thank you,” Darcy said with a satisfied smile.
2 “This class is like a black hole that sucks all the fun out of a subject I really love,” Darcy said while trying not to roll her eyes at the professor as he droned on.
“But if it was fun, people might want to take this class, and then he might actually have to put in effort,” the guy sitting next to her said.
“You’re right,” she agreed. “He’s got a good racket going on here. I mean, he’s certainly perfected it. Everyone in here is here because we have to be. You can’t get the minor without this class. No one is just signing up for it.”
“He’s an evil genius.”
3 “They call this one the black hole,” Helen said as she sat down the tray of glasses in the middle of the table. “Everyone take one!”
“Why do they call it that?” Jane asked as she looked at the almost iridescent blue color of the drink.
“Because it leaves a black hole in your memory if you have more than one,” Darcy said. “Which is a real danger because it tastes like a jolly rancher. Not a bit of alcoholic aftertaste at all.”
“Well that’s dangerous,” Maria said as she picked up her own glass. “I’m in.”
4 “I think that there’s definitely a slim chance we can survive if we put up the hypersonic shield when we start to get sucked into the black hole,” Darcy said to the captain.
“How slim?” he asked.
“A solid 20%, sir,” she said.
“More than I thought,” he replied with a considering frown. He looked around the bridge. “Anyone have a better idea?”
Everyone shook their heads in the negative.
“Well then,” he said with a clap of his hands. “Let’s do it. I love defying the odds. Let’s go down in history.”
5 “That’s a black hole,” Clint said as he pointed at the little circle of construction paper left behind by her hole punch.
She looked up at him. “Really Clint?” she asked.
He shrugged. “I was trying to make a space joke now that you’re all special with you fancy new degree in space science.”
“That’s actually kinda something different, but point taken. I appreciate the effort you put forth there.”
He smiled. “That’s me. Always putting forth just enough effort to make you have to acknowledge it.”
She couldn’t help it. She burst out laughing. “Yeah. That’s why we’re friends.”
6 “The color’s called black hole,” Helen said as she reapplied her lipstick. “I’ve found that it’s a lovely deterrent for men and a great draw for the right kind of woman,” she said with a smirk.
“Get it girl,” Darcy said as she touched up her own red lips. “So I guess you’re after some pussy tonight instead of dick?”
Helen drowned a bit as she wiped a bit at the corner of her mouth. “Yeah. The last few dates I’ve had were with men and they all kinda sucked. Time for a change of pace to get me out of my loser streak.”
7 “Is that a black hole?” he asked pointing toward the monitor.
“No,” she said with a sigh. “That’s just a space where the current equipment is not strong enough to read the stars in that area because they’re very far away. 
They had been playing this game for something like ten minutes now, and she wished she could just make the dude leave, but he was the dean’s son, and she had ended up somehow babysitting him. Though why a 25-year old man needed babysitting was beyond her. She looked at the clock. At least she could move onto lunch in another half hour.
“Is that a black hole?” he asked, pointing yet again.
Solar 1 “It’s called a solar sailor,” the kid at the park told her with pride. He had a small little paper airplane in his hands that he had clearly drawn suns all over. Some of them had little smiley faces on them.
“Super cool,” she said with a soft smile as she tried to lead him back toward the information kiosk. She had found him crying by the pond after he had been separated from his family. She had told him that she would walk him to the kiosk for help, and he had immediately latched onto her. “Tell me about making it,” she encouraged.
2 “Total eclipse of the heart,” she belted out as her friends clapped wildly. Investing in the at home karaoke machine was such a good idea.
“Do  you think an eclipse of the heart is more of solar or lunar thing?” Jane mused once the last cords of the song were done and everyone had given her scores for her performance.
“Hmmm, probably lunar,” Helen said. “I always think lunar eclipses are way more romantic, thus a total eclipse of the heart is lunar.”
“Solar,” Maria argued. “Love blots out everything just like the eclipse blots out the sun.”
Darcy just laughed at them as she set up for Pepper’s turn.
3 “I’ve been thinking about putting solar panels out on my little balcony to power a generator,” Spencer said as they cuddled on the couch.
“Oh?” she asked, not sure what exactly he was wanting from her.
“It’s just the power has gone out here twice in the last month, and if you had been here, you wouldn’t have been able to work on your research,” he said.
Oh. Well if that wasn’t the cutest and sweetest thing Darcy had ever heard.
“I think it’s a good idea,” she said. “And thank you for thinking of me.”
“Always,” he murmured into her hair.
4 “You need some solar cream,” Thor said as he rummaged in the beach bag. Darcy shot a look at Jane who mouthed “sunscreen” at her. Well that made more sense than she had been expecting.
“You’re right,” Darcy agreed, snagging the bottle that he had just unearthed from his hands. “I am a delicate beauty and don’t want to burn.”
Jane snorted into her water bottle. “You looked like a lobster for your first week in New Mexico.”
“Wasn’t my fault that TSA confiscated my sunscreen,” she grouched as she lathered up her legs.
5 “Do you think you’ll ever get to travel beyond our solar system?” Fitz asked her. 
“I don’t know,” Darcy said, her eyes still on her screen. “I mean, very few people have done it so far, and those were pretty extraordinary circumstances.”
“But would you want to?”
Darcy considered the idea and her fingers stilled on the keys. “I’m not sure,” she finally said. “I think I might want to, but there’s so much that I’d hate to leave behind here.”
“Like?” he asked. She couldn’t see him, but she could imagine his face scrunched up in consideration.
“You.”
6 “I refuse to get on that monstrosity,” Steven said as he looked up at the Solar Scream roller coaster. “I don’t even know what witchcraft you used to get me here in the first place, but you will not be dragging me onto that.”
“Of really, doctor?” she asked, batting her eyelashes a bit.
“That won’t work on me,” he growled.
“Won’t it?” she asked as she ran her fingers up his arm.
“No,” he said stubbornly.
“That’s too bad,” she said with an exaggerated sigh. “I guess that means I won’t be able to give you a reward when we get home then.”
He turned to look at her. “Maybe I could be convinced,” he said with a smirk.
7 “Was that a solar flare?” she asked with a quiet sigh. “I thought we had weathered the last of them.”
“Shhhh,” Jane said as she looked at the output of the machines they had built from junk they had found in this strange land where they had ended up thanks to something Loki had done.
“You think it might come back?” she asked, her voice little more than a whisper on the wind.
“It might if we keep talking,” Jane said, tension rolling off her. Neither of them wanted those creatures to come back.
Cluster 1 “Peanut clusters are the best, and I will not have you besmirching their good name,” Darcy said with a haughty tone and put upon airs.
“Oh is that so?” Rabbit asked, trying to match her tone but failing miserably. “Well, madam, I think that means we are at an impasse.”
“Undoubtedly,” she agreed, her nose up in the air.
He cracked first, a small chuckle that turned into a full on belly laugh as soon as Darcy lost her composure and snorted when trying to keep herself from breaking.
“But really?” he asked through his laughter.
“Really,” she said. “They’re pretty tasty.”
2 They were standing in a cluster under the awning of the theater as they waited for everyone to arrive so they could purchase their tickets.
“This is weird, right?” Darcy said as she joined the group and they made their way to the ticket window.
“Yeah,” Jane agreed as she continued to look around the area. “I can’t believe this will be the first movie that I’ve seen in a theater in over a year.”
“Right?” Helen said. “I wish that they were requiring proof of vaccination though.” She looked around the other clusters of people. “You just know some of them are anti-vax,” she sniffed.
3 “Did you know you have a cluster of freckles just here?” he asked as he ran his fingers over the back of her shoulder before his lips descended and pressed softly into the skin.
“I didn’t,” she said as she swept her hair out of his way and his lips slipped from her shoulder up her neck and behind her ear.
“You’re so good at that,” she said with a contented sigh.
“I’m glad you think so,” he said with a gentle chuckle. “I’d like to take this moment to show you just what else I’m good at,” he said as his lips returned to their path.
4 “I want a chocolate cluster buster bar,” Jane determined after her nearly ten minute perusal of what was on offer at the small mom and pop ice cream shop.
“Good choice,” Darcy said. “It’s definitely a favorite of mine, but I’m more in a citrus mood, so I’m going to go with the lemon sunshine.” She placed their orders and then led Jane out to the small grouping of benches with large shade umbrellas.
“This was a perfect choice,” Jane said as she took a bite and then stretched her neck. “We’ve been working too hard.”
“No kidding,” Darcy agreed.
5 “Does there seem to be something strange about that star cluster?” Darcy asked as she tried to zoom in a bit on the area she thought felt wrong.
“It does,” Fitz said as he pressed close to her to get a look for himself. She tried not to be too aware of how his warmth seeped into her. Now was not the time to let her crush come roaring back into her life. Now was the time to figure out what the hell was going on in sector AV-37.
“I think that maybe there’s some sort of interference,” he said, pulling away a bit. Darcy let out the breath she had been holding.
6 “If you cluster them like so,” the instructor said, “you can make the whole arrangement take on a more whimsical approach.” She moved over to the next vase and pointed to the same set of flowers. “Look at how the same cluster looks totally different when placed in this more formal arrangement,” she said.
Darcy looked down at her own flowers and considered them. She understood what the teacher was saying, but she just couldn’t decide what she wanted to do with hers.
“This class was such a fun idea,” Helen said next to her as she contemplated her own flowers.
7 “Bunch up some more!” the photographer called. “No, not like that. That looks like some sort of high school prom lines thing. I want more of a natural cluster,” he directed.
“The fuck does that mean?” Darcy asked under her breath. The man kept yelling things like that at them but never giving more specific directions like “Jane move two steps left” or “Helen take one step forward.”
“Who knows,” Helen said, just as irritated. “Pepper is lucky we love her. I would have never agreed to be part of her bridal party if I had any inkling it was going to be like this.”
“Amen,” Darcy agreed.
