Demon brothers with a Tartaglia-like MC
>Older brothers
Pairing: Younger bros x MC
Warning: Blood mention, injuries, lesson 16 spoiler, light nsfw at asmo part (?)
Parts two from le request lets goooo
Author note: I'm back after being dead for months duel to family issue and stuffs. Sorry for keeping yall waiting, I'll try to do the requests ASAP 😤 (It's was like 1am when I was making this fic—)
━━━━━━ • ✿ • ━━━━━━
Satan
He finds you pretty interesting due to your behavior when you first got here, the way you were so opening towards his brothers and himself but yet always on guard.
Are you hiding something? *Sus*
Probably the first one who noticed your dead eyes it's not like he was observing you like this was from International Geography or something
In the first few lessons, there wasn't much thing going on between you and Satan, because both of you has the similar personality aka the "your friendly buddy" face
But not when he got pissed because you refused to make a pact with him.
But you left him shocked, because YOU weren't scared of his demon form nor his threat of killing you. In fact your fact were bright as day, taking out your weapon and accepted the fight
YOU? A human wanted to fight with him?? Satan himself?? The Wrath himself? Man you got alot of nerves to challenge him 😟 (Bro left him in shock fr)
Bunch of stuffs happened after that yada yada yada... You guys finally get along YAYYY!! (i think)
He wouldn't be surprised if he sees you cover in blood when you got home. I mean.. You've shown him how bloodlusting you are when you got in a fight with him 🤷🏻‍♀️
For some reasons, he keep being spoiled by you. Like you always bring something back for him after your trip to the human world, every kind of books that he mentioned about it, no matter how rare and hard to get, you always able to get your hands on those and give them to him
Like man, he would just kiss you right here if he wasn't trying to hide his sparklings when he received those cat books that you bought🙄
Asmodeus
Listen, I don't give a heck about how you think about this man. I just know he's gonna turn everything that you do into some kind of kinky shit–
He doesn't really bother much about your weird behavior but you appearance tho,,,
Like, he may or may not got turned on when he sees you covered in blood after you kicked some demons' ass
You were sweaty asfuck, so you wiped those sweat using your shirt which showed your abs because duhh, you exercise alot
This is literally him right now
Tumblr media
I just know he wants to touch the abs.. I mean who wouldn't? 🤨
He's now a fat horny simp for you... right behind himself of course
Besides that, you two get along very well! And flirty as fuck. Like, please stop doing it in front of Levi because he's gonna throw up—
You two can be wholesome too, like you sharing stories of your family to him and he also shows you pictures of him and his brothers when they were younger
Overall, it's either a horny moment or very wholesome, no between
Beelzebub
He's pretty opening towards you like Asmo
Oh you're a friendly human? Cool! You like working out too? We can be working-out-buddies and then have a nice buffet together! :D
Both of you get to close very quickly due to his happy big dog energy. You share your family moments to eachother, sharing tips to get fit and things like that!
Well.. that was just the half side of yours, you wouldn't dare to hurt his trust and feelings, would you?
So goodluck hiding your bloodlusting side away from him, making up excuses when he spotted you got home and fully covered of blood 🗿
Ya gotta find a way to persuade him not to worry about your fatass smh, no one wanna makes this precious himbo worries at all
Would be the one who take care of you if you got injured, doesn't matter if the wound was nothing to you.
Always brings snacks to yoh whenever you're done training!! A full stomach always help right?:)
Honestly I have no idea who would be the one to protect the other, because both of you want to be the shield for the other and it's wholesome af 😤
Belphie
Uhh where should I begin...
He finds you hella annoying, especially with that happy face of yours when you first met.
Despite knowing that he was a demon and tricked you, you still keep that friendly-face to him which makes him 10 times more pissed
Until you traveled thru time just to save him, Belphie tried to attack you, which makes you excited. In fact you accepted this threat and ready to throw hands at him
He was surprised how ridiculously strong you are compare to a normal human, it's been hours since you started to fight and yet, you were still hyped, even complement about his fighting techniques
So he just gave up and let you win this one, and head back to sleep— and then also gave up on planning destroy the human world and make out with you /jkjk
When he opened up to you, he finds you really capable, the way you tell him how much you love your siblings and wanted to protect Beel at all cost makes him look up at you with a different view.
So you're very fun to hang out, especially when you're the best person to help him and Satan prank Lucifer 😈
Overall 10/10 enemies to lovers romance

ur journey getting back here was interesting. it reminded me of the absolute ride my little kid self went through watching the old alice in wonderland movie, the 1951 one. the etiquette lessons must've been dastardly to get through. what's the point of learning it if ur gonna have broken shoulders from damned heavy books in the end? u can't practice etiquette with broken shoulders!! make it make sense, hell sovereignty!!!
and also abt the “ah-ah~” thingy aventurine does in his basic atk. i'd like to imagine him saying that to 'chide' onset!reader when they tried to nip/bite/maul him for many and all reasons. but as soon as he did that, their desire to merely bite him turns into wanting to just sucker punch him in the nuts. oh yeah, they tried. (it's a defense mechanism, people. just resort to violence when u get rizzed up. <- for legal reasons, this is a joke. i am simply too much of a sloth to be thrown in jail)
- same anon as last time. i am not too creative w names i'm afraid
The hell soverigns did make me suffer tho, and I’m assuming that’s their job description. They don’t logic because if they did then ppl could rationalize it and if you rationalize it you understand it and then when you understand your torture it probably becomes a little less tortuous. Fuck them fr tho
I didn’t really watch much Disney as a kid (a real miracle tbh) because I did grown up things like play angry birds and team fortress 2 (idk what my dad was on to let me do that). But one does not need to be a child to just get throw into Alice in Wonderland. It’s a really beautifully animated and whimsical movie, and while it’s far from being a fav of mine, it’s a really fun movie overall. However, this is something that my dad told me that has forever stuck with me when it comes to Alice in wonderland and Victorian literature in general: “if the book was written by a rich white guy, that rich white guy was definitely doing opium.” Don’t actually know if Carroll did drugs, but Alice in wonderland does feel like someone’s trip LMAO
Yeah…that’s definitely how aven chides them. Although, to clarify, onset!reader didn’t really fight aven, physically at least. Resistance yes, but they both know aven could bench press them without a sweat. But that doesn’t stop them from fantasizing about seeing his guts strewn on the floor (yet they don’t want to actually kill him?), and there are so many times when they just want to give into that urge. Aven practically has a sixth sense for bloodlust, so whenever they do start to seriously consider it…he chuckles, and gently takes hold of the wrist they’ve raised, lightly shaking his head and tutting. What’s that you’re doing, sweetheart? A flurry of emotions go through them, but it ends up in an expression aven is more than happy to think of as a pout. They might just be even more irritated than before, but they’re also just so sweet! Let him have a taste.
as he kisses, them, his eyes are wide open to take in their expression. Their mouth twitches against him, their canines just itching to bite…and, theyre free to bite at him, you know~ they are a bit silly in thinking that he would hate it rather than enjoy it, but that’s your loss for the day, he supposes. Alas, he cannot completely dismiss their justifiable malicious intent, so he dares them. Give him your best, he thinks, Let’s see just how much you want to truly brutalize him. You’re “free” to do many things.
Just don’t get too pouty when he returns it in kind. Anything is fair game, sweetheart.
…but that’s why they don’t play his games. To inflict anything on him is to then accept he’ll inflict it back tenfold. Tearing him apart would feel good, but they don’t want him to spill their guts and bask in the viscera. And, they think, as their lungs begin to burn and the grip on their hair becomes impossibly tighter, if life is a grand gamble, then he would be the final victor. And they’re no gambler.
when he’s done taking what he wants, their minds, deprived of oxygen, instinctively move to shove at his chest. But before they can, their wrists and bound yet again, and a dreadfully familiar tut plays yet again. It’s then, they realize, that he’ll turn any action, any outcome, into a game. but don’t worry! They get to set the pace. However ‘fun’ it is, he explains, is entirely up to them. “And you don’t want to miss out on ‘fun’, right?”

Adult Trio with Witch S/O
Requested by: Anon!
“if your comfortable,can you to do the adult trio with a s/o who is a witch?🥺Sorry if it doesn’t make since i’m not good with english”
Now imma be honest, I know nothing about the basics of witchcraft and I am so sorry if I get anything wrong and offend you 😭 I’m like, gonna try to avoid writing anything that’s overly religious and kinda stick to the stereotypical witch? I’m so so sorry please don’t be mad 😳 I just don’t want to offend anyone
Hisoka:
Tumblr media
Bro this man thought you were joking at first when you said you were a ‘witch’
BUT YOU WHIPPED OUT YOUR NEN ABILITY AND BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA HIM
Let’s say he was ENTICED 👁👄👁❤️❤️
In HxH there really is no specific nen category dedicated to Witchcraft
But I had an idea!!
Maybe there are a few clans and tribes of separate witches!
(These clans are usually divided by Nen type. Specialists, Enhancers, Manipulatiors, Transmuters, etc. What you wanna be is completely up to you!)
BUT BRO YOU’RE SO STRONG AND SCARY AND HE TOTALLY GETS OFF ON THAT
he likes to show you off tbh 👀
He’ll make you do the hard work so he can just sit back and watch
It’s annoying to say the least, but atleast he’s there
When it comes to Gon and the others, you make sure to stop him from being a weirdo
LIKE THATS WEIRD FOR KIDS 😭👊✨
And sometimes he’ll get irritated and he’ll wanna fight you
His bloodlust disrupts the peace and you really wanna punch him straight in the gut
OVERALL YOU GUYS ARE OP AND ADORABLE!
Mostly chaotic tho 👀
Illumi:
Tumblr media
This man is SO impressed by you 😭
At first he was like “okay u kinda cool”
AND THEN YOU SAID A WORD THAT ACTIVATED YOUR NEN AND BOOM
Fight WAS OVER
he was like “This is going to be so easy from here on out”
AND THATS A COMPLIMENT
your job is basically like a Butler, but you escort Illumi on missions.
Not that he needs help!!
But the Zoldycks wanted to test you out
And Illumi offered to work with you
After that mission, Illumi requested that you accompany him when he asks
AND THATS HOW YOU BECAME FRIENDS/LOVERS
through time you got him to open up and,,,
he thought dating you was beneficial for the family
Cus yknow... he’s not that good with feelings and he stands by his family no matter what
BUT ITS OKAY
Cus you love him and he feels the same (if he feels at all)
certain days he’ll get curious about your abilities
Is it Nen or not?
What category?
You’ll answer in small sentences, seeing as your powers are rather difficult to explain
He seems to understand though!!
And he thinks it’s so cool 👊😤✨
He totally thinks you could beat Hisoka’s ass
That’s his way of saying “PLEASE DO IT”
Y’all be cute or whatever 👀👉👈
Chrollo:
Tumblr media
This MAN IS WHIPPED
OMGGGGG
You were a target for the phantom troupe and you kicked their asses
They just couldn’t KILL YOU
You had this insane Nen ability that would take energy from any living thing, leaving them exhausted while you were totally fine!!
That would backup your other abilities, so you were almost impossible to touch
The troupe was no match for you
AND YOU REALLY WANTED THEM TO GO AWAY 😭
After a while they basically gave up trying to beat you
They would still throw attacks but they were sloppy
And they’d ask you questions while doing so
It was like trianing??? But you were on edge
Chrollo made an offer though 👁👄👁
If you joined the troupe.. they would stop trying to kill you
So you accepted, knowing you couldn’t stay safe forever
So that’s how Chrollo and you started out
out of all the members, you probably had the best relationship with him
Some of the others held grudges, seeing as you beat them all single handedly
THEY FR PETTY BUT THEY STILL LIKE YOU
Chrollo thinks you’re so FRIGGIN COOL
At first he wanted to steal your ability, but it seems you were to smart for that 😳
but other than that he is sO SO RESPECTFUL
He’ll ask to spar with you, just to test out some abilities he got
He knows you’re strong enough to withstand anything he throws at you
SO YOU’RE SUCH A COOL TROUPE MEMBER AND YOU MAKE IT SO SO SCARY
and he loves that 😭💕💕
VERY SCARY COUPLE 👁👄👁

ALL RIGHT BUT YOU ASKED FOR IT
Power of Three as a series is just. full of weaknesses, most of which come down to poor continuity and structure. I'm not gonna try and fix ALL of those, bc that'd be laborious as hell, but I will pick out things that I feel are the most egregious as case studies.
What Po3 does have, tho, is an absolutely shining strength in the concept of its three main characters. After twelve books of Blandly Heroic Protagonist Syndrome, Jayfeather is an absolute godsend. He's angry! He's rude! He's unhappy! He's not nice. I Love Him And He's My Son. Lionblaze has his invincible pride (hah) and emergent bloodlust, and Hollyleaf has her moral absolutism and certainty. These are good starting points for characters. Sadly, the lack of continuity undermines what could have been three really good character arcs.
So! I present to you:
HOW TO MAKE "WARRIORS: THE POWER OF THREE" NOT COMPLETELY SUCK ACCORDING TO MY PERSONAL TASTE; A NON-EXHAUSTIVE, NON-CONSECUTIVE LIST BY ME
ONE
- Have there be a persistant, overarching series threat. Sol is a character with amazing villain potential who does literally nothing except hang around, and do exactly 2 Bad Things completely off-screen. This Is Not Good.
- Instead, have him be present from the second book onwards- initially introduced as a friendly but enigmatic outsider who is slowly revealed across the series to be a complete black hole of a personality, a social parasite quietly rearranging whatever community he's a part of to just-so-happen to benefit him as much as humanly possible. His "preach individualism not starclan" methods are not so much values as one strategy out of many. (to those who know me- yes i have a type. no i will not apologise.)
- Maybe his ultimate goal is to dissolve and centralise the clans or something so that he can live out his life as a political puppetmaster in all the cat-luxury he likes. idk it's hard to imagine overall stakes for this rewrite BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL DOESN'T HAVE ANY
TWO
- For gods sake you don't have a series based on the premise of "the main characters develop super powers" and then only have the second power confirmed by the end of the fourth book. I understand the first book mostly focusing on Jayfeather- his powers are obvious from the start, he's got the strongest personality of the three, he gets access to most of the prophecy plot stuff because of them. But you NEED to have the other two show an interest in something concrete happening to them beyond that, and you need to at least hint towards the other two having something unique to them even if nobody clocks it yet.
- Have Jayfeather tell his siblings about the prophecy by the end of book two at the latest. The amount of time he spends noodling around not sharing it with them is inexcusable. It's not that it's out of character for him to hang onto a secret for a bit, it's just that there's no point and it slows everything down. It would be equally in character for him to go to his siblings and be like "look, i'm SPECIAL. well you as well but ALSO ME". Boy starts off as desperate for recognition, what can I say
THREE
- Have Jayfeather discover that StarClan don't withhold signs or information on purpose for the sake of "building courage and faith" or whatever nonsense. Seeing and communicating the future is metaphysically very difficult, so interpreting signs and messages is a genuine skill, or even an art. The cats of StarClan, however, really are just ghosts, much more similar to living cats than the currently living believe. This is the impotus for Jayfeather's discarding of his reverence for StarClan, which remains consistent throughout the series.
- Have Hollyleaf and Jayfeather both still change their cat careers in the first book, but put place more attention on the fact that they basically switched jobs. Have a scene where they end up yelling at each other, because can't the other see how lucky they have it? The tension breaks when they realise they've both lost something important to them- Jayfeather his chance to prove he's as capable as a sighted cat, and Hollyleaf her path to helping her clan in the way she thinks is best. They commiserate together, and reluctantly promise to do the best they can with their lots, so they don't waste the path the other wishes they'd taken. This closeness is eroded over the series as they disagree more and more on the subject of StarClan and its role in their moral choices and obligations.
FOUR
- Speaking of Hollyleaf! I nearly threw my phone across the room when the first Omen of the Stars book claimed that Hollyleaf "worked so hard to discover her power to help her clan". Where, Ms Erins??? I would have LOVED to have seen that!! Hollyleaf expresses absolutely no concern over the details of what power she has/will develop, and only has a couple of scenes even touching on her ambitions to help her clan. She has some vague ideas about becoming leader and like one scene where she gets to do some leadery things, but that never gets followed up on. What does happen is that the whole "warrior code" thing becomes more and more a part of her personality (for no clear reason) until she snaps.
- Hollyleaf going off the deep end is something I wanted so badly to get into and be moved by, because I could see where it comes from! Her moral certainty is fascinating, especially since it's based in something as abstract as the warrior code- which, when you think about it, isn't really... anything. There's no concrete set of rules that make it up, no traditional wording or cat philosophers, not even any fables. It's a handful of agreed-upon, common sense rules- don't cross boundaries, don't take prey that isn't yours, respect your ancestors, and don't murder. That's it!
- So, combining the above points, I think Hollyleaf not being one of the Three should stay, but both the audience and the characters are given good reason to believe she is. By around the third volume, make it so that Hollyleaf has found that her power is to get cats to "Do The Right Thing"- i.e. what she wants them to do. She sneaks off often to see Sol, who teachs her how to use this power. Her siblings are concerned about this new power, having already gotten a glimpse at what Sol can do, but she's confident that she can only use this power for good. Volume-specific plot happens, Sol manipulates her into causing him to win, she is shocked and horrified, and vows to stick ridgedly to what she knows is right i.e. The Warrior Code
- However, the more fervently she tries to stick to this abstract idea, the less it gives her results, the more her power seems to be failing. Believing that StarClan is taking her power away from her, she becomes caught up in a faith-guilt spiral that puts her in the position to snap at the end of the series. By that point it's clear to her siblings that Hollyleaf has no power- she was just very, very good at persuading people to do what she wanted.
FIVE
- Lionblaze is a girl now because I Said So. This Cat Is Trans And There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
- Her relationship with Heathertail stays the same- childhood sweethearts who are torn apart as they begin to understand the nature of the societal divides that exist between them.
- This can be used to contextualise the whole "half clan/outsider blood" thing as a cultural contradiction. In reality, inter- and outer- clan relationships aren't at all rare. They can't be, otherwise the whole society would be inbred out of existence in like five generations. But if at least one society of humans can spend a good 200 years pretending Sex Is Bad And Sinful Actually then cats can have persistant cat-racism in the face of all logic. Heathertail clocks this contradiction, Lionblaze doesn't.
- Her relationship-to-power arc doesn't need changing all that much either, other than starting much sooner and being more consistent. At first, she's completely overjoyed by her power, since unlike her siblings, it lines up so well with her ambition- become the finest warrior any of the clans have to offer. As the berserker rage aspect becomes more prevelent, she becomes more and more disturbed by the fact that she isn't disturbed by what she can do, and that she doesn't want the escalation of her power to stop.
- Tigerstar still does his thing, but Brambleclaw knows about it. He recognises the signs from when his father used to visit him, and tries to train Lionblaze in his own way. She ends up caught between wanting to be a good warrior, and testing the limits of her power.
SIX
- Jayfeather can stay basically the same because he's my perfect little angy boy and nothing needs to change. His arcs can be strengthened by having a more robust relationship with Yellowfang where they try to out-bitch each other, and coming to terms with his internalised ablism. Maybe he has a chat with Mothwing about faith a couple of times. Him furiously lashing out at being offered help transitions into an acceptence and understanding of his abilities more naturally. He never stops being A Grumpy Old Man.
- All fucking past-lives unexplained time travel goes in the BIN. Doesn't fucking happen. You can have that lore dump sprinkled across the books, or come from going deep into the tunnels and having a surreal meeting. Make it properly eldritch-level scary, shake Jayfeather's confidence in the idea of them being just a bunch of ghosts.
SEVEN
- Have the way Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight present very clearly as parents to the Three be explicitly, textually unusual. One of the things I liked so much about the first series was an almost total lack of emphasis on who was mated with who, and who was related or not. It felt very real to how feral cat colonies form, where raising kittens is a communal job. This gets completely dropped the moment series 2 starts and now the cats have monogamy.
- This emphasis on the family unit and fostering close relationships between parents and kittens is deliberate on the part of both Leafpool and Squirrelflight. Their aim is to cover for Leafpool so she doesn't lose her role as medicine cat- something she already gave up Crowfeather for before she was pregnant.
- In that little bit of backstory, have a robust reason for both Leafpool and Squirrelflight to leave the camp while Leafpool is pregnant and giving birth, possibly one that ties into the present day story in some minor way. I don't know how, it would just make that element of the story a lot more ground than "we left, the kits were born, then we came back and everyone was cool with it"
- When it comes to the "I am Not your mother" reveal, Jayfeather and Lionblaze are confused and hurt that they were lied to, but come to the reasonable conclusion that well, since they were raised mostly by Squirrelflight, saw Leafpool often, and are loved by both, they don't hate her. Lionblaze has something of a crisis over being half-clan, possibly initiating an attempted reunion with Heathertail. Jayfeather is more concerned with how other cats will think it makes him lesser, something he's still sensitive too.
- Hollyleaf, meanwhile, completely fucking snaps at the way her mother Violated Part Of The Code. It's a completely irrational reaction, but expected because she's been growing more and more reliant on The Code for the whole series, and less and less stable in her attempts to aid her clan and train to be its new leader.
- Squirrelflight is the one to murder Ashfur. This is easy to work out while reading- she's literally the only one of the four with a motive who isn't a perspective character. The mystery is less around finding out who did it, and more about why she did it (it's very ambiguous as to whether it was an accident or not). The main tension comes from who finds out when.
- Lionblaze is shocked, awed by how far she'd go to protect the three of them, and reassures her she did the right thing (as a way to salve her own uncertainty over her own longing for violence). Jayfeather makes it all about himself because he's Jayfeather- upset that he didn't know immediately, instead of, you know, figuring it out in a few hours because he can basically read minds. They try their best to hide it from Hollyleaf, who is already rattling around the final volume as a full-on antagonist, but are unsuccessful. This almost costs them something incredibly important- possibly Squirrelflight's life.
EIGHT
- the whole plot with the Tribe Of Rushing Water is a MASSIVE can of worms that could be removed from the series without issue. As it is:
- Characterize the Tribe as uncertain of how to fight other cats, because yes, they haven't had to do this before. DON'T characterise them as pathetic, doing whatever their leader says without thinking, and with ancestors who have Given Up
- Have some of the Tribe be really good at the violence. Worryingly good. Have others be sickened by what they're being asked to do.
- Have some of the clan cats reflect on what they've done. Hollyleaf would be all for introducing this society to jesus The Code, but even she might be horrified at being thanked by a tribe cat who can't wait to get out there and win themselves glory, only to be killed a few hours later
- The Tribe begin a new tradition of marking the walls in the mud they use as camoflage in order to commemorate their battles, and memorialise the fallen. One of the characters reflects on the fact that in a generation or two, the Tribe will feel like it's always been this way. How many of their own traditions- those that feel almost like natural law- started out the same way?
- Have Sol as the leader of the invaders, or maybe having insinuated himself into the tribe as a "mediator" and doing his charismatic cult leader thing.
NINE
- Cinderheart isn't a reincarnation of Cinderpelt. She's just named after her bc Cinderpelt saved her mother from a badger. this is because I think the reincanation thing is stupid and I can't think of a way to make it good.
TEN
- No more using tails as hand gestures like covering people's mouths. Never. None of it. It's expunged from existence.
Disclaimer: I haven't read Omen of the Stars yet, so I can't account for anything that might happen in that series that's grounded in Po3. I'm like... two thirds of the way through the first volume. I'm Not Impressed.

The fandom ask...you ikeman men :)
Oh boyyy. Let’s talk about my ikemen men lmao. So I decided to break this up into all the games I’ve played before doing overall, because I like doing overkill.
Also sorry to Midcin, Ikemen Genjiden, and any other Ikemen games I either haven’t played you cause meh or cause I don’t read Japanese, sad violin sounds
Also this is on my phone so ignore the typos. I might put an under the cut when I get access to my computer cause I think this gonna be long.
Ikemen Vampire - The One That Got Me Into This Mess
Blorbo - Definitely Arthur. I’ve probably explained the storyTM before but basically Arthur’s my fav for three reasons. One because I just find him painfully relatable at moments (not all the time tho thankfully oh boy); two I think we’d be relatively compatible; and three I was reading the story, getting into it, when I hit a chapter where Arthur screams. And holy shit the VA just went for it (note this VA also voices Childe cause my favs are a flat circle apparently). Anyways I was so blown away by how raw it was my respect points went up by 10k and Arthur’s spot as fav was cemented.
Scrunkly - Isaac. My boy. My baby. He’s just out here trying his best dealing with the fact he’s got the vampire equivalent of anemia mixed with feral boy energy (that sounds cringey I’m sorry Isaac). Look he’s just a painfully shy man with unquenchable bloodlust and the feeling of being permanently separated from humanity because of it. Can a person not want to hug this man and give him all the love? Anyways he’s baby.
Scrimblo bimblo - Uhhhh. I don’t remember the popularity rankings tbh but I think Vincent is overlooked for Theo which honestly I don’t get. Theo’s just a right dick half the time and is definitely better in fanon than canon. Meanwhile Vincent is just a himbo. A himbo with trauma but still a himbo. He deserves to be the more appreciated brother my dude asks permission for every step in the relationship, doesn’t have a death wish, does act like an ass to the MC. I mean to be fair I like Theo well enough, but again. Vincent is better. Sorry lol don’t kill me please
Glup shitto - Claudia (I think that was her name) from Saint-Germain’s route. This route is out here passing the Bechdel test via kidnapping. We love to see it. (Anyways yeah 10/10 I know she’s not a love interest but I’d court her if she’d let me). Sorry if your name’s not Claudia idk man. Also was gonna put her as scrimblo bimblo but this is a much better category.
Poor little meow meow - Charles. He is so pathetic but he also has one of the best character designs. The only fanon I’ve seen is kinda sad and not the best but his route ain’t out yet so who knows. If he is just a kinda pathetic horny man then I guess I’ll just have to admire from like 300 meters away. He’ll still be poor little meow meow though lmao.
Horse plinko - Theo cause he irritates me lmao. He could take some tormenting. He can handle it.
Eeby deeby - Mozart is getting chucked right to superhell. If you aren’t Tom Hulce in the 1984 masterpiece Amadeus I don’t want your Mozart.
Alternatively if it’s for gay crimes William and Vincent and Leonardo and Saint-Germain are getting chucked headfirst into that elevator because you can tell me Leonardo and Saint-Germain were never lovers in their centuries of existence together, I just won’t believe you.
Ikemen Sengoku - The Best Written One
Blorbo - Kenshin. Oh my… Kenshin. I’ve become so enamored with this idiot that seeing him in other routes makes me smile like a maniac. Here I was prepared to endure Kenshin’s route cause he’s supposed to be a yandere and instead I get… a complex (for an otome game don’t get me wrong this isn’t Virginia Woolf or anything) look at mental illness, trauma, and relationships??? What?? MC actively admitting she thought she could ‘fix him’ but she doesn’t cause he immediately spirals? Good writing? Anyways I’ve accepted my status as Kenshin simp. Rip, maybe I do have bad taste.
Scrunkly - Yukimura prolly? Like not all the time but he’s definitely the one that has the most cuteness aggression moments. This poor man is just trying to survive at this point surrounded by murder hobos and that’s really funny. Also he’ll just believe anything. Idiot (affectionate). Note I haven’t read his route so idk but until then (and maybe after) he is scrunkly
Scrimblo bimblo - Nobunaga. Which sounds weird right since his face is on the thing basically, but I think the first route guys tend to be overlooked or seen as boring. Which fair but look this route got me into Go/Baduk and now I play through NHK games on my board on a semi-regular basis and want to find a Go club so I gotta give him props. Also I do like his character even if he’s also a total ass he has good moments.
Glup shitto - Kyubey. Now admittedly I was ready to despise him when I first read his name because, y’know, being meguca is suffering and all. But honestly Kyubey goes through so much shit he deserves appreciation. Mitsuhide better be paying this man a lot.
Poor little meow meow - Kennyo is textbook meow meow. My dude is in like every route trying to get his revenge and he just never succeeds. He also feels guilty about it like 97% of the time but is like “my comrades… revenge…” how about you go back to being a monk so your comrades can go to the afterworld without worrying about your sorry ass. I do appreciate him tho.
Horse plinko - …Yukimura. Or Kenshin. Or Nobunaga. Idk it’d just be funny to see how any of the characters reacted to my personality I think they’d find it obnoxious (I think I’m fabulous tho).
Eeby deeby - Hideyoshi. Is it because his historical counterpart tried to invade what is now Korea? Yes. Am I being petty? Yes. He’s still going to super hell
For gay crimes it’s Kenshin and Shingwn cause who doesn’t love enemies/rivals to we’re living in the same house and only I can really explain to others what you’re feeling (excluding MC in their respective routes but even then).
Ikemen Revolution - The one I’m least familiar with
Blorbo - Edgar. Cause what’s a little murder between evil uncle and manipulated nephew and a family legacy of personal assassins for the king? Look idk man Edgar’s route just hits different. He’s definitely the most compelling so far.
Scrunkly - Luka. I don’t think Luka would survive my middle school. Someone keep this man away from me cause he blushes at everything. He is spiritually baby. Protect this idiot.
Scrimblo bimblo - Uh idk Edgar again? Again I forget popularity polls but he’s not the top three… right? (Watch me be wrong). Otherwise maybe Zero? Underrated.
Glup shitto - I know Mousse has a route I think but so far I’ve only seen him in the prologue. This man seems totally spaced and or half asleep from what I remember and I respect that.
Poor little meow meow - Uhhh. Idk. Whichever twin is least popular because that’s funny (I’m sorry lol)
Horse plinko - Jonah for being a bit of a pompous ass. I liked his route a lot but I think if you stuck us in a room together it would not end well. Someone’s going home wondering who Marx is and it ain’t me
Eeby deeby - Lancelot. Cool motive still threatening to murder MC, multiple kidnappings of MC, generally being a controlling asshole, wiping MC’s memory against her wishes, not telling people his plans cause he has a martyr complex. You get it. I actually kind of softened towards him at the end of his route but flash forward to beginning of next route and I immediately want to punch him. MC should not have let him off the hook so easily in like all the roots. I deserve to throw Lancelot into super hell.
For gay crimes Sirius, Lancelot, and Harr are going to hell together like the messy polycule they are
Ikemen Prince - The New OneTM
Blorbo - So again this one is new and I’ve only played 2.5 routes so far (sorry Leon) but I’d say rn Nokto or Luke, though Jin is fun to read for events cause I am trash. Nokto is prolly my sole fav. I just have a lot of thoughts and emotions about this idiot and I even outlined and started writing a fic for him, one that will never get posted prolly. He’s got a lot of potential and he’s just kinda compelling. Idk. I like him. Yes he is a bit like arthur stfu.
Scrunkly - Honestly none of them really, but if I had to pick prolly Yves. Man is just trying his best to express his emotions after years of rejection cause of his birth and if that doesn’t activate ‘protect’ what will. He is a tsundere though so points lost for that rip (lol sorry I don’t like tsunderes much).
Scrimblo bimblo - Silvio maybe? Idk he seems the least talked about of act two. Admittedly I have nothing to go off of him really but his character design but it is an 11/10 design so…. he’ll prolly be my act two favorite when it comes out in like two years lol (no shade I am in awe with how quickly Cybird releases their games and their English versions I hope staff is getting paid and treated well).
Glup shitto - The bookstore owner. His employees really just disappear into the night but when they come back he gives them back their jobs no questions asked. Respect. (I could also be remembering circumstances wrong but shhhh).
Poor little meow meow - Uhhh idk. I mean I do feel for Rio he is a bit of a meow meow but he’s not my fav. Nokto has meow meow vibes tbh I’ll go with it.
Horse plinko - Chevalier cause he’s irritating. It’s funny cause I expected to like him more than I did, but I underestimated his pompous attitude. So I’d make fun of him, in that Lizzy Bennet Darcy way expect I wouldn’t marry him I’d just talk smack. It’s okay we both like reading he’ll spare my life or whatever (I’m tired lol).
Eeby deeby - Sariel. Man activates my fight or flight instincts I swear. Like his character design is Like That.
Uhh for gay crimes they’re brothers so lol no. I guess the old king for being a manwhore and also a tyrant. He can’t mansplain or manipulate his way out of this one either.
Final Ranking
Blorbo - Kenshin, it’s Kenshin. I’m sorry this idiot is my fav I know I know look I’m trash leave me alone. He’s just going through it and I just… agsjdn
Scrunkly - Isaac has biggest scrunkly energy hands down
Scrimblo bimblo - Vincent. Honestly prolly most well adjusted relationship in all these games
Glup Shitto - Mitsuhide if you aren’t paying Kyubey well I’m personally coming after you
Poor little meow meow - Charles. Dude needs help lmao
Horse plinko - Chevalier cause it would be funng
Eeby deeby - Ancestral grudges aside let me throw Lancelot right into superhell
Sorry if this was wayyyy too long uhhh hope you like…??

Can I send a request? 🥺 Shalnark, with an s/o who has a toxic father? Thank youu~~
Alright! With this one i'll speak having my own experience as a guide, plus Shal Will be kind of a bad guy ™ here, so sorry if you wanted some fluff, you're free to request fluff next time tho queen 💕
Shalnark with an S/O who has an abusive father||
And sadly a lot of us do too
Tumblr media
Shalnark
I picture Shalnark being on the yandere spectrum, so unfortunatly, he'll see this as an oportunity if you're emotionally weak
He already wants to kidnap you, but doesnt do it because he wants to make you dependent on him enough
So he'll support you, be there for you emotionally as your comfort place when your dad fucks up wich is often
But dont be mistaken, he loves you, he really fucking does, so much that he's obsesed with you
Pretty much lovesick
So of course his blood boils every time he hears you rant about how your dad screamed at you, or punished you without a reason
The moment he founds out your dad Is hurting you physically, it's game over
His bloodlust gets even more aggresive if you come to him with a bruise or a mark in your body
You're his treasure, his star, nobody can hurt you but him, and he doesnt want to hurt you, so in that exact moment he tells you you're leaving with him
And of course you dont protest, why would you? You're so in love with him, he's the one that never left your side when you were sad or scared to go home, to face your dad
So the night you leave home for the last time to never go back, he's thrilled
He waited SO LONG for you to leave that bastard and when you do he feels in heaven
You finally feel free and ready to be with the guy you love the most
Seeing that smile on your face makes Shalnark even more in love
So he's pretty excited to kill your dad
Hes not a big fan of torture like Feitan but with this guy it's diferent, he wants him to pay for everything, to cry and beg for forgivness just like you did and he never bat an eye, to fear for his life just like you did, except he really wasnt going to make it till morning
When he comes back to you with your stuff and clean clothes and that beautiful smile of his, you cant help but feel relieved
You couldnt still belive it, you were out of your horrible home life with a guy who made you feel so loved, it felt like a dream
You two left the hotel he told you to stay in the next morning with your stuff to finally go to Shalnark's house
After some weeks or months of you being in a honeymoon phase, things start to get odd
Your life toghether is weird because he is toxic but in such a way you dont even realize because of how used you were to extreme abuse
He treats you like royalty, gives you everything you ask for, he makes you feel loved, he's there with you when you have nightmares of your past, and he never even consider hitting you, how can he not be good?
Except that he doesnt allow you to go out, everything can hurt you in his mind so he doesnt want to risk it, his voice and smiles do the trick for you
He doesnt allow you to seek for your other old friends and family, they never helped you like he did so why bother with them? Shalnark is enough for you, you should only be with him, he's the only one that can make you feel zafe anyway
He threatens anyone who wants to talk again, to you so it feels like everyone forgot about you and that makes you sad thus more emotionally dependent on him
He also doesnt allow you to go to therapy, because he wants you to be dependent on him, he wants you to think your life Is over without him, so that way he can have you on his side forever
He cant lose you, nobody can have you except him, he'll make you happy, he can give you everything you want, so he should be enough right?
Overall i wouldnt say your life it's bad with him, but it does feel a little controlled, but he makes up for that with gifts, lovely date nights and his prescence
He loves you, and so do you? So why bothering with the outside world, he doesnt because you're his world, and he should be yours as well

Akudama Drive Character Opinions/Thoughts Pt. 2
Heyo!! <3 Here’s Pt. 2. I can’t believe this has two parts OMG. Remember that these are just my opinions so feel free to disagree with me! This was just a ramble I did for fun. I know it’s different from what I normally post, but hey! I wanted to try something new. :D 
Please enjoy and message me with anything. And definitely check out Pt. 1 if you haven’t done so already!
Cutthroat: I think I have a special place in my heart for white haired, crazy psychopaths, oop. (Juuzou Suzuya and Rui*) I adored Cutthroat from the very first moment I saw him. [Side note: I’m kind of disappointed that the show went with the pronoun “He” (I was super excited to have a nonbinary character, but alas.] Those little moments in the beginning with Swindler and Cutthroat were weird, but surprisingly wholesome at times and I really loved when he ate the tin of marshmallows, dropped the knife (you know when xD), and pressed all the buttons on board the airbus. I equally loved the serious side of him that showed that he was much more intelligent than he let on (that scene where he throws his knives to reach the button; Episode 3). I just thought that those two different personalities mixed in with the childlike-psychoticness was super refreshing (even if we’ve seen characters like him before). But as much as I love Cutthroat, I have mixed feelings about his death in episode 9. I know some people are angry at Swindler for killing him, but honestly I think it kind of had to be done what with the way that he was acting towards her (love vs. bloodlust. IT'S nOT lOvE). So while I’m definitely sad boi over him dying, I do admit that he was genuinely terrifying during his last moments. (Haha I prefer the Cutthroat that spends his day eating marshmallows, thank you!!)
Brother: Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun anyone? Lmaoo. I liked him a lot. I thought he was a cutie and I really admired the strength/resilience he showed in trying to protect his Sister (something that I’m sure was endearing to a lot of us). I was definitely aware that the two of them were Sus from the beginning when we saw them on board the Shinkansen, but I never could’ve imagined the ending! I originally predicted them being the bad guys of the story and that the Akudama would have to ally with the Executioners. But all in all I’m SO RELIEVED the two of them were able to escape to somewhere better. I loved the role that Swindler played within their lives (even for a short time) and how she helped Brother and Sister show more outward emotions to one another. Also that scene where he was surprised at all the swear words Sister learned was so funny. xD 
Sister: I was suspicious of both Brother and Sister from the very beginning and really didn’t have strong feelings for either of them. Sort of like. “Yay kids…?.” But I’m so glad that Sister really found herself with Swindler and was able to become more expressive and more child-like. It hurts to know that these two children can and never will have normal lives/childhoods, so in a really sad way Swindler was able to give Sister a glimpse into a normal life during her last few days. ;-; I really can’t say much more about Sister, besides the fact that I’m genuinely very happy that the two of them were able to continue living on hopefully in a better place. Her moments with Swindler and Courier were so cute!! And the way that she repeated everything they said was adorable. Also. HER OUTFIT slayed. I was so touched by the sisterly relationship that Sister and Swindler had. <3 
Executioner (Master): DayUM SiR save some of that badasseryness for the rest of us. He was super cool and I think his entire arc around his death was super well done!! A truly Breathtaking end to his life. While watching the show I definitely acknowledged how strong he was, but overall apart from that I can’t say I really had any particular feelings towards him. I have a confession: I didn’t really react too much to his death (I’m sorryyy I’m a terrible person). I appreciated more so about what he allowed for story-wise, I think he was a great example for the moral ambiguities between Akudama and Executioner/the moments between him and his pupil were great, but that’s about it. I think his final moments were very powerful and I could tell that he cared about his pupil a lot so that’s nice, especially in the context of her character growth later on in the show...which is amazing!! 
Executioner (Pupil): I really wished she would have joined the Akudama side. I obviously know that that would never happen, but it would’ve been amazing for her to question the actions of the executioners and change sides. We see that she isn’t driven in the same way that her boss or her teacher were and seemed genuinely affected when the little girl told her that her parents were killed in the riots. It would’ve been so cool to see her fight against Doctor alongside Hoodlum, Courier, Swindler in the train station (Side note: If the circumstances had been different, I don’t think she would’ve allowed Doctor to get her way like that, but who knows?). Another thing I loved was seeing the time lapse between her being a dedicated student to becoming almost a replica of her teacher (scar of some sort with a fierce determination to fight alone), but unlike her teacher, I felt more inclined to like her for whatever reason. I just felt that it would’ve been great to see her rise up against the Executioners and question her own morals further (even if that might have included sparing some Akudama’s lives). But overall, I liked her more as the season progressed. Go Girl! 
Executioner (Junior): This POOR boy had it rough. I mean signing on to be the junior apprentice of an Executioner during all of this?! And also the fact that Doctor literally pierced his heart with a needle AND he later got shot (possibly killed?) Like leave him alone! :00 Haha, but seriously, he seemed super nice and almost seemed like the Executioner equivalent to Swindler (not entirely sure what they’re doing/gets pulled into the mess of the Akudama, etc.). I thought he was super cute. :3
Boss: She was lowkey a bad bitch tho not gonna lie. I found her super cool with a great sense of authority...that is until she ordered all of the citizens to literally be slaughtered. I can understand why she issued the first order of having all the citizens be turned into Akudama, but then like just killing all of them that were rioting?? NOOO. I’m not quite too sure what else I should say about her? I thought she was interesting and would’ve liked to see her fight, or her own past (she seems older so backstory of the Executioners would’ve been fun!) 
Black Cat (A.I) : While parts of Brother and Sister’s backstories were a little lost on me, I liked the addition of Black Cat as sort of a mini-catalyst to the entire hijacking mission in the beginning. I think the cat had a great presence in the first episode (almost a symbol of bad luck from the moment Swindler finds them...OoooOO). Not much to say apart from the fact that like. Yup. That's a robot cat. [Side note: Sort of reminds me of Monokuma xD) 
Hope you enjoyed this! Check Out Pt. 1! 💕

the chosen daughter // colby brock - chapter nine
A/N: hey yall sorry it’s been a hot minute since i posted a new chapter of this story. i’ve been really unmotivated to write but i’m finally in the mood again and so i finished this chapter and i plan to write out some more of some of my other stories too. so hopefully i can post another chapter soon, no guarantees tho. hope you enjoy this chapter! let me know what you think :)
story description
taglist: @far-to-many-bands , @idfk-tbh-oops , @muted-mayham , @ughwhyislifesohard , @justtanerd , @ashyoungxblood ,  @cmburgos
trigger warning: cursing, mentions of: wound, fighting, vampire powers, blood
word count: 1594
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the Caleb incident, it was hard to get back to my regular life. Staying at the Trapp Haus became a nuisance: not being able to sleep between the hours of nine P.M. to two A.M., the constant cases Sam, Colby, and Jake would take caused them to really never be home, my job being far enough away that commuting was a bitch, and the fact that Kat was staying over more frequently since her and Sam had gotten together.
I wasn't sure why but Kat was extremely standoffish towards me. Ever since we both felt that spark or shock, it's like she's tried her best to stay clear of me, which is hard to do in such a small apartment.
Plus, I've been having dreams about her. In them, I see her using powers, but not the one she has. She's almost like a witch, casting spells and saving us. We're always fighting something, but I can never tell what it is. It's always just a black blur but it kills us off, one by one, leaving me last.
So... moving out of the Trapp Haus was probably the best decision for me.
After a week of not seeing everyone, I decided I had to go back. I needed to know what was happening with Cyrus. I hadn’t seen or heard anything about him so I wondered if maybe he left, or disappeared for good.
As I entered the apartment, I saw Colby and Mike sitting on the couch. They both looked up at me, Colby standing up first. “Oh good. We were just talking about you.”
“Don’t you know when you speak of the devil, she appears?” Mike deadpanned.
I sent a glare towards Mike, turning my attention back to Colby. “What do we need to talk about?”
“Mike and I were talking, and we believe that you might be in danger.” Colby’s voice lowered.
“Like more danger than before?” I gasped.
Colby sighed, nodding his head. “Yes. There has been an overall spike of killings in the city, particularly in areas that Cyrus used to hang out in. The difference is… the bodies aren’t drained.”
“Couldn’t that just be a regular killer than and not a vampire?” I questioned.
“It’s highly unlikely. Mike checked out one of the cites earlier today and the body was torn to shreds.” Colby remarked.
“Nothing a human could do,” Mike hid a devilish smirk. “But a vampire… easily.”
“So, it has to be Cyrus. Why though?” I crossed my arms uncomfortably.
“Vampires don’t kill for the hell of it, and to waste that much blood would be stupid. So, most likely, he is putting himself into a bloodlust state. When a vampire barely feeds but keeps killing, he will begin to lose his mind. Once he picks a target and attacks, he’ll be almost unstoppable.” Mike informed.
I sputtered. “He’s doing this because of me.”
Colby moved closer to me. “He’s getting ready to kill you. So that’s why we gotta teach you how to defend yourself. How to fight.”
I took a step back. “Wait, if Cyrus is getting ready to attack me, why hasn't he yet? I've been home for over a week.”
Mike grinned, walking towards the apartment’s front door. “Colby's been watching over you. Like an emo guardian angel.”
My eyes widened, turning to Colby. “What?”
Colby glared at Mike quickly, clearing his throat. “I-um. Sam told me to. Besides, I don't really sleep at night anyway.”
“Whatever you say brother.” Mike responded, opening the door and starting down the stairs.
“Like... every night?” I whispered, glancing at Colby.
“C'mon lovebirds! We're burning daylight.” Mike laughed.
~ \/ \/ ~
“Is there a reason why you guys had to take me to an abandon warehouse?” I questioned.
I glanced around at the dirty building, some windows were smashed out or boarded up. Surprisingly there were lights in the place, but somehow the warehouse was still dark. As we walked into the center of the open space, a table with stakes and needle-less syringes sat next to a punching bag that was badly dented and taped up. Laid out on the ground was a wore-out mat.
“The apartment is too small to fight in. This is where we go to fight and practice.” Colby explained.
Mike flexed his muscles, flashing his fangs at me. “How you think we got this ripped?”
I rolled my eyes. “Right.”
Colby grabbed a stake from the table and tossed it to me. “I want you to square off against Mike. He’s extremely good at fighting, very similar to Cyrus.”
“And… you’re just gonna stand there?” I sassed.
“I’m gonna coach you. Watch what you’re doing and tell you what you can do better at.” Colby stated.
“Alright.” I took a deep breath and walked towards Mike, gripping the stake in my hand. I raised my hands up, staring Mike down.
Mike chuckled. “Come on Jade.”
He began to run at vampire speed, appearing at one random spot of the warehouse and moving to the next, slowly getting closer to me. Finally, he stopped back in front of me, smirking.
“Let’s go.”
For the next hour, Mike and I fought on and off. I would throw as many punches and kicks as I could, but Mike always had the upper hand. Being as fast as he was, it was easy for him to see my next move before even I could. I was getting more and more pissed off, I could feel my heart banging in my eardrums.
I think to some degree this was my advantage.
Mike originally was very playful in how he was fighting, seeing me as an easy target, but as we kept fighting, I could tell something was starting to get off with him. I wasn't sure what it was, but his eyes were dark. Intense.
He looked lost in thought for a moment, and this was my chance to take him.
I elbowed him in the ribcage as he wrapped his arms around my body from behind. I took my foot and put it behind his ankle, pulling him over my shoulder and flipping him onto the ground. With the stake shoved up against his chest, I stared down at him angrily.
"There!" Colby exclaimed. "You got it!"
I turned my head to Colby smiling. I exhaled deeply as I tried to catch my breath, my stance still over Mike. As I glanced back down at him, he yanked the stake out of my hand abruptly, shoving it forward into my side.
I shouted out in pain, covering my side. I fell to the ground as Mike jolted up.
"What the fuck Mike?! What was that for?" Colby hollered.
Mike shrugged. "She needs to learn to keep her eyes on who she's fighting."
"You didn't need to... hurt.. her." Colby trailed off, his voice falling to a whisper.
I stared up at the both of them, their bodies turning towards me. Mike's face changed suddenly. His eyes became crimson in color, veins slowly pulsing down from under them. His fangs extended, his mouth watering. Colby gulped, his eyes slowly doing the same.
I looked at my hand that was clutching my side, blood covering it. The slice from the stake had become a large gash, blood soaking my shirt without me even realizing it.
Mike took one step towards me. Colby grabbed his arm. "Don't."
“What do you mean 'don't'? Aren't you curious?” Mike hissed.
“About what Mike?” Colby glared at my wound, unable to move himself.
Mike retorted. “Why she smells so much better than any other human? Why her blood made Caleb stronger that night? Don't you wanna try some? Don’t you wanna know?”
Colby shook his head. “No, Mike. We're better than that.”
“Yeah but I'm really hungry. And so are you.” Mike grunted.
“Please don't.” I whimpered, trying to back away.
“Why don't we do it? Together?” Mike grabbed Colby by the shoulders. “We don't have to drain her dry, we can leave her alive and just keep getting stronger and stronger whenever we want. Come on, Colby. I know you crave her.”
Mike whipped around towards me again, smirking as he sauntered over.
"No Mike please! Stop!" I pleaded.
Colby jumped in front of Mike, his voice a demonic growl. "Snap out of it!"
He swung at Mike, fist landing into his jaw and launching Mike half way across the warehouse. Mike’s body slammed onto the ground, the noise echoing off the walls. Mike jumped up, staring Colby down.
"Leave. Get something to eat from someone willing." Colby demanded, guarding me.
Mike glanced at me for a moment and then disappeared.
I breathed heavy for a moment, unable to calm myself.
Colby suddenly moved, walking over to the table and grabbing a first aid kit. His eyes landed on mine. His face was normal again, no signs of hunger anywhere.
"Do you want me to patch you up or do you think you can do it?" He asked quietly.
"I-I can do it." I stuttered.
He nodded his head. He stepped towards me again and lightly placed the kit on the ground.
"I'll wait outside for you." Colby motioned.
"Okay." I mumbled.
A silence fell over as neither one of us moved. I exhaled and grabbed the kit as he began to walk away. As I opened it, he spoke again.
"I'm sorry. I wouldn't... have hurt you." He admitted.
I gazed up towards him, my breath suddenly gone. Then in a flash, so was he.

Hakuoki Kyoka-roku Saito CG Character Perspective
Sooooooo…. apparently there are character perspectives audio lines in the 2013 Hakuoki Kyoka-roku vita game…. which I didn’t really notice until after re-reading the translation list from where I found the TL for the ones from Zuisouroku (other kyoka-roku stuff won’t be done til next year)….The format of these posts will be the same as the Zuisouroku character perspectives, and while there are less cgs with voiced dialogue, each cg has 5 lines of dialogue… with 6 cgs per guy aside from Kazama who only has 3 cgs with dialogue (i’d say huzzah for less tl work but some of these lines are quite long).
Unfortunately, I do not have access to the posting with Heisuke’s cgs from this game… *sigh* I’ve tried figuring out weibo’s blog.sina to try and gain access to that and some of those other postings since there’s a posting with 3 tracks (of 7) for a drama that I’m missing similar to the One Inch Samurai that I really wanna have translated (in it, saito, hijikata, harada and kazama shrink due to some mysterious concoction of ishida sanyaku that was in some tea that was apparently meant for ‘waga yome’ according to a message left by the teapot it was in which saito then chose to serve after disregarding the message)…but ive sadly had no luck in doing so since i think the original author of the post made it encrypted..... (tho i do have the cd if anyone wants to help get it translated).
Anyway, this was the post that disappeared from my queue.... though I somehow managed to recover it by getting my tumblr exported. Also, none of these images are mine and I took them off the tl post i found.... maybe if i somehow get to picking up this game will i change the pics (haha.....ha.....).
Enjoy~!
Hakuoki Kyoka-Roku Saito CG Character Perspective
Translation by KumoriYami
Tumblr media
(Face) Is my face dirty? “Seeing such an earnest expression will make you feel entranced”? That’s the first time someone ever said that to me…. No, I’m not shy. Don’t mind it.
(Body) What, what are you doing..?! Ah…….sorry. Because you suddenly ran into/hit me.
(Scarf) This scarf is always with me.
(Scarf) Why are you so interested in this scarf [or? in scarves]/Why do you care so much about this scarf [/about scarves?]
[i hate how Chinese isn’t clear with nouns being singular and plural.]
(Katana) At that time, I clearly remembered what happened. Your sword was very skilful which caused me to be unable to hold my strength back. [However] Believing too much in oneself is also your fault [??? I’m assuming it says Being overconfident is also your fault]. I’m very sorry for frightening you.
Tumblr media
(Left Hand) Is it really rare/strange to be left-handed?
(Left Hand) The Shinsengumi, which accepted me for being left-handed, is my home.
(Left Hand) Do not take the risk of reaching out to someone’s hand holding a sword. 
(Katana) This sword has tasted the blood [literally: “suck blood”] of countless people. Eventually, I will die in battle due to being unable to hold my sword, which is something that I have mentally prepared for. But you told me, that this sword has protected you. The rationality of preserving life cannot easily be abandoned, this truth, is something that you taught me.
(Chizuru) Thinking about it now, I may have been deeply attracted to you from then on. Hoping that I would live, because of this sentence that you said to me, those words shocked my heart(/mind/soul) more than anything. 
Tumblr media
(Face) When I heard you say that you would be staying together with me, I was stunned. At the time, I was prepared to die, but you unexpectedly saw through me [says: my mind].
(Hair) Wherever you touch, it always feels warm.
(Hair) Compared to my hair, yours is more beautiful.
(Hair) Don’t touch me like that. That will also make me want to touch your hair too… 
(Hand) Just by having you at my side/As long as you’re around, I have nothing to fear. I am convinced that I am happier than any other man on the battlefield. Thanks to you, I am who I am today.
[the first tl is more literal for the first sentence ^]
Tumblr media
(Clothes) After getting used to them, Western-styled clothes are actually quite comfortable [TL is literally: “very good”].
(Clothes) Even if you are not holding me tightly, I will not leave you.
(Clothes) Don’t stare at my clothes too closely… I will never fasten a button incorrectly again. [LOL....]
(Chest) Did you notice how my body was trembling/shaking then? Even though I was nervous at the time, I was always worried about making you scared or being hated by you…. but as long as you are at my side, I can become strong.
(Chizuru’s Hand) Your hands are really small. But these are the hands that firmly held/grasped onto me. From now on, I will protect your hands.
Tumblr media
(Body) Don’t worry. I will never become a rasetsu again. 
(Body) Even without personally touching with your own hands to confirm it, I will also never leave your side/I will always be there for you [1st interpretation is more literal].
(Body) Whenever you touch me, my heart becomes warm.
(Body) If I lost to Kazama, you would have been taken away by him. Thank you for believing in me. You entrusting your life to me, this gave me the key to victory.
(Kazama) If I was fighting alone, I would certainly lose [CH tl roughly says: be incapable of prevailing/achieving victory]. It’s because I had my comrades, as well as you, that I was able to win that fight. [Although I] clearly said that I would be protecting you, in the end perhaps, I was protected by you.
Tumblr media
(Face) Even if samurai no longer exist, and even if the world changes, the desire of wanting to live with you for the rest of [my] life, will never change. 
[might say: “protect you for the rest of my life” since the word “守” can also mean protect/guard/nearby and what follows is “终老” which means to spend one’s years - literally ‘until aged’]
(Clothes) I told you, I hope that you don’t pull at my clothes after calling for me….. rather I want you to call me by my name.
(Clothes) Wherever you touch, I don’t know why [but] it becomes quite warm.
(Chizuru’s Hand) If you are worried, I will never wear such thin [clothes] when going out in the future.
(Snow) Before I never cared about this, but I think this scenery/view is quite/very beautiful. I want to admire this beautiful view together with you. Now that I think about it, this way of thinking is lovely. Thanks to you changing me, I am able to stand here.
——————-
….I wish there was dialogue for when Saito fell onto Chizuru…. or the following bloodlust cg after that since that’s one of my favourite moments in saito’s route…*sigh* oh well. i’ll take what i can get… I do however like how saito’s scarf is finally mentioned in game…. since the only other time I’ve seen it being written about was done in a blog post translated into Chinese.
Overall, for the kyoka-roku cg dialogue lines…. I think Harada has the most amusing ones. next year though. and after i finish the last zuisouroku cg tl.

Riverdale Liveblog 3x02 - Fortune and Men’s Eyes
I feel like I’m going to be in my Kevin feels this epiode. I mean, I am every episode but especially so when he’s tossed a storyline
This Frank Darabont aesthetic. Is Archie going to crawl through the shit and the mire and the tunnels in the end. I certainly hope so. 
Shadow County...I can’t. So that place is fine, but Greendale is where Satan and the witches party? This is some Greenland/Iceland shit. Also, Tom looking nice in that shirt
Tbh, Betty’s look of exhaustion is more in tune with how I thought they’d interpret “hippie, laid back Betty” on the show before remembering that it’s the CW and that female characters aren’t allowed to look less than dolled up
RIP DILTON DOILEY. MY SOCIOPATHIC PRINCE
Tumblr media
I enjoy that investigate is basically code for foreplay. Also “I FOR INVESTIGATE” RAS. For fuck’s sake, it’s not that hard to come up with a word for I. Well, these two kooky kids will never not be horny since I guess murder gets them going. Dilton’s death provided for this scene
CAN MAD DOG BE THE LEAD CHARACTER. Cast him in everything. I need to see more of this actor
I know a lot of people want to rightfully punch Weatherbee in the face. But his buffoonish incompetence and outright bias sort of wraps into hilarity for me. I hope he’s a teacher in the flashback episode
Josie’s bra is way cuter. And uh, wasn’t Veronica Archie’s running mate? Wasn’t it her idea to run? So she is Lyndon B Johnson in this scenario. What a weirdly sexist revisioning
Slash, huh
Tumblr media
LMao at Joaquin just throwing Archie under the bus. Actually, I’m into this. I need to know more about him anyways. Him being hardcore like this turns me on. That could just be my insatiable bloodlust talking
RIP CREEPY MORGUE MAN! May your son take up the noble mantle. I wonder what happened to the other actor since there doesn’t really seem to be a point. Can they just fork out the money to get Doug Jones though
Ben Button, eh. Okay, RAS. I need to meet the whole Button clan. And fics of Jughead and Ben working at the drive thru. A whole Ben spinoff
Kevin’s arms tho. That wrist gripping. MY POOR BB. Just getting handed those storylines of loneliness again. AND FOR WAHT? SOMEONE WHOSE LEGAL NAME IS MARAMADUKE??
Keller was a pretty shit sheriff, Minetta. You two probably would’ve gotten along. Or have constant dick measuring contests and arguments about who’s sugar daddy is better. But he was weirdly lenient about Betty investigating. 
What a disgraceful retcon of Riverdale Tie-in Issue No. 7 when Dilton tried to trap Jughead in his Doomsday bunker
Those shoes are so garish I doubt anyone would want to jack them. But then again, I’m not a shoe person
Archie’s been watching his anime I see. Sounding straight up like a shonen protagonist
The Gargoyle King is my lord and savior
“Are you ashamed of me?” MY FUCKING HEART. I need to finish my drawer fic so that I can give Kevin the nice things the writers deny him
If Joaquin tossed Veronica a shiv, she’d have used it on daddy
Remember when Archie and Veronica supported a for-profit prison? 
Oh fuck off, RAS. I can’t quite sum up with what bothers me about the treatment of Mad Dog’s character, but it basically falls in with my complaint about the overall treatment of black characters on this show
Reggie making fake IDs is in keeping with the tie-in though
KEVIN IS SO FUCKING CUTE IN THIS OUTFIT. But also this is a step backwards in his sleeve evolution. I actually got to see his fucking arms and now they’re covered back up. Moose doesn’t look too pleased. This is not going anywhere great. 
YESSS, parents council!! Set up that flashback episode!!! And omg, Keller got to talk. And I saw that little McKeller shoulder brush of reassurance
Soooo...I guess Ben’s appearance in Sabrina will be a pre-Riverdale thing? RIP sweet death prince
