i think the most important thing in the world is vbs being best friends who love each other so much and are super affectionate with each other like. listen to me:

- when toya hugs kohane he'll pick her up a tiny bit (a tiny bit is all he can manage. noodle arms) and she squeals with delight every time

- toya just really likes hugs in general. it's suuuuper common for him to just come up behind akito or an or kohane and wrap his arms around them and lean his head against theirs. hello and goodbye hugs with him always last a good 20 seconds because he won't let go sdjfjsnfkd

- kohane loooooves to tuck her hand in the crooks of her teammates' elbows while they're walking together. this way she won't get lost <3 sometimes she'll hold onto like, akito's elbow with one hand and an's with the other. it's very cute. and as vbs has grown closer, she's started to switch to hand holding. (don't tell anyone but akito's her favorite to hold hands with because he swings their arms as they walk and it's cute)

- also, kohane's hair tends to be messy because of her damn hats and this bugs akito so he spends a lot of time fussing over it. he'll just sort of...tug her closer and take out the pigtails and comb through it with his fingers. at some point she starts packing a brush in her bag to placate him. i like to think akito knows how to do hair because ena will sometimes make him do hers so after a while he stops just rebrushing kohane's hair and starts pulling it up in different ways... braiding it... etc... and he starts keeping things like hairspray in His bag. yknow. jic

- the hairstyling extravaganza extends to an and toya too. (i mean there's only so much akito can do with toya but he tries...) it's a calming thing for him - fiddling with his teammates' hair as they plan setlists or wait backstage. and having your hair played with is always nice <3

- i think shortly after teaming up an started giving kohane little kisses on the cheek. not as a romantic gesture - just simple affection! and after a while, she starts kissing toya and akito too. toya is always happy to lean down so she can pepper his face with little platonic kisses, but she usually has to wrestle akito. it's all in good fun and he'll always relent and let her kiss him in the end

- speaking of platonic kisses, i ALSO think that akito gives toya little kisses from time to time. it started back when they were still BAD DOGS. toya wasn't having a great time one night and after soothing him with a good sturdy hug, akito kissed the top of his head. it completely floored toya and akito blew up when he realized what he did. and they never fucking talked about it <3 but since toya didn't seem MAD about it, akito decided to stick with it and kept giving toya kisses like that. it's not common, and he ONLY does it when they're alone. except for when they make up after their little divorce arc in the main story. IGNORE the gunjo sanka mv and listen to me. they HUG after their heart to heart. and akito kisses toya's cheek. right around where he punched him

- but an's overaffectionate nature kind of rubs off on akito after a while. so he becomes less stingy when it comes to kisses and starts giving them to kohane and an too <3

- they lean against each other while sitting like kohane might cuddle into toya's side or an goes and lays her head on akito's shoulder

- and they have sleepovers and they fall asleep comfortably tangled up together (or not comfortably. at all. seriously cuddling while sleeping can get so uncomfy but it's worth it to be so close to someone you love). ken's taken quite a few adorable (and sometimes really funny) pictures of all four of them passed out on piles of blankets and futons. just dad things

i could go on forever it's just. platonic affection is so important to me and it's so frequently Ignored in fandom spaces. and in the case of vbs and the prsk fandom specifically, there's a tendency to separate vbs into akitoya VS anhane. which is so 💔 because the whole POINT of their story is that while they started off as separate duos, that's no longer the case! they've become such good friends. they're inseparable.

like even jokes about akito and an being "wlw and mlm hostility" are starting to wear on me because... they're friends, guys. they're incredibly close. akito is always looking out for an and is right by her side to support her through all the shit she's currently struggling with. there's no "hostility" present in their relationship. like, if you actually look at the game's text, an... rarely teases akito. the person who teases him the most is actually toya but you know... whatever... gotta reduce an down to a mean lesbian amirite... completely ignoring that she's one of the kindest characters in the whole game...

idk. i juuuuuust wish that this fandom wasn't so defensive and obsessive over shipping akitoya and anhane (mostly akitoya while anhane is a second thought but YOU KNOW) because it results in so many people watering down vbs as individuals And as pairs - because all they care about is shipping. like i promise that the other dynamics in vbs are worth exploring (both platonicallyand romantically but too much of this fandom still feels threatened by m/f vbs ships). and hell, explore akitoya and anhane on a platonic level, too! don't just jump to shipping them because teehee boyxboy and girlxgirl. take the time to understand what draws them together in the first place

i love friendship. i love when friends outwardly express their affection for each other and it doesn't have to have any romantic implications. can we talk about friendship for once like this game is literally The Ultimate Friendship Simulator feat. Hatsune Miku

#it's so dark in here #project sekai #akito shinonome #an shiraishi #kohane azusawa #toya aoyagi #vivid bad squad #kind of a cross-post from twitter i'm just thinking about these dorks again...#every day i become more and more partial to akikoha and antoya over akitoya and anhane. like i'll always love vbs every way but #the set up of akikoha and antoya more clearly represents how much their friendships have grown. yknow. i'm going to cry #also antoya is so funny because it's like the only an ship where she gets completely disarmed and becomes an easily flustered mess #and toya isn't even doing anything. he's just standing there being a corny dork and an's like AAAAAA AKITO HOW DO YOU PUT UP WITH HIM #and akito just laughs. and gets a pillow thrown in his face for it #polysquad and m/f vbs ships are GOODyou are all just mean.#also if you ask me there is no 'm' in vbs anyway akito's a lesbian and toya is. um. all of it.evrry gender but also NONE of them 💖

ok SO superhero au in which mc is just an ordinary guy looking to start fresh in a new neighborhood with a new job. he’s a reporter (naturally, it’s a staple of the genre yknow) and his job is to... report, basically. his daughter is an aspiring photographer, and she’s heard talk about Certain Magics in the area

as we all know, mc can be a bit.... oblivious, sometimes. perhaps “out of the loop” is more accurate. regardless, he does not know what this means and assumes that amanda is hyping up something he, as a dad, physically can not understand.

without making this post 10 pages long, mc meets each of his neighbors: craig, joseph, mat, brian, hugo, damien, and robert. within a few very, extremely unlucky weeks, he also meets 7 other men, all of which possess powers that kind of sort of REALLY line up with amanda’s “magic” statement

he meets a man in blue wearing nothing but a domino mask to cover his face. the man rescues mc from a mugging by dropping from the sky and scooping mc into his big, buff arms. with a single leap, they’re flying high above the city. mc thinks that this man’s laugh is awfully familiar...

a single day later, mc is caught in the crossfires of a gunfight on his way home. he begs for his life, only to discover that there’s no need. ice slicks the ground, and a pink-and-blue figure slides in on it, erecting a wall of ice between mc and the fight. mc notes that this hero’s eyes are two different (and equally pretty) shades of blue.

his next few days are blissfully free of danger. until that thought registers. naturally, that’s when danger strikes, this time in the form of a crumbling construction site. he is saved by a man with tattoos at least up to his elbows. mystery man is decked out in shades of purple.

he snaps his fingers and a sharp, musical twang thunders through the air, knocking the pillar heading for mc’s head. he catches the pillar with some invisible force (which also makes his tattoos glow?) and he smiles sheepishly at mc. it’s cute, mc thinks. very cute.

again, mc is given a break. only a day this time. and this time, it’s during mc’s first walk through the park. he hears a bear and not the good kind. there’s not enough time for him to run away, to take shelter from this creature that seems so irrationally angry at him for, what? trespassing? being a big ol’ juicy slice of Dad? for the fourth time in the past week, mc braces himself for death.

yet another hero emerges from nowhere, vines wound around his big hands and the scent of pine ever-lingering on his green supersuit. the bear runs like hell. mc’s fourth hero grins. somehow, it’s both infuriating and handsome enough to get mc’s heart racing.

mc needs a break from all of this. amanda mentions a local Game at the end of the week.

“do you want to go?”

“yeah. i could use a break.”

there are no breaks allowed in maple city. halfway through the game, a group of suspicious-looking youths behind mc decide that now is as good a time as any to try and rob everyone sitting around them. mc rips his wallet out of his pocket and is fully prepared to fling it at the kids if they will just give him a goddamn break when he is ever-so-conveniently interrupted. this guy is a little ridiculous. he’s dressed like a wrestler got splashed with bright yellow-and-orange paint. one of the youths swings at this ridiculous figure. the figure dodges it easily, almost as if he knew the punch was coming. and he does it again, and again, and again. he ends the fight easily, plants his hands on his hips, and puffs his chest out. he says the cheesiest line anyone could possibly say, then he bolts off.

a week later, mc is poking around in an old, abandoned warehouse, the last known hq of a notorious kingpin. it’s his duty to scope it out and see if it’d make a substantial bit; he doesn’t think this is a good idea, but then, nothing in maple city has been good.

surprisingly, things go well for about two minutes. unsurprisingly, his luck breaks. again. mc triggers an old booby trap, the sort that could have been stolen straight out of an indiana jones movie.

mc has long since accepted that he’s going to die in some stupid and embarrassing way in this city of superheroes and inconvenience, but that doesn’t mean he likes it.

he’s reluctantly come to like being saved by these superheroes, though... they’re all very nice, and not bad to look at. ah, but he jinxes himself, because this time? he’s saved by a gigantic bat. maybe it would be cute if he really looked at it, but all he can do is scream like he’s dying and curl up in a little ball in the grasp of this thing’s big bat-hands.

he’s dropped rather gracelessly out of harms way, where he slowly pushes himself into a sitting position. he’s fully expecting to see the face of a bat half an inch from his. instead, he’s met with that of a masked man.

“um, apologies,” says the man. he leaps into the air and transforms into a raven this time. mc has no time to thank him.

“maybe i should be writing about the superheroes running around like they own the place,” mc suggests to their boss. they are shot down on the grounds that it’s been written about a thousand times before. there are whole websites dedicated to theories (mc wants to check them out, if amanda is home & in the mood to guide him), books and even an odd documentary or two.

frustrated, mc skips going home. he doesn’t want to risk his new neighbors seeing him pouting over something silly. they’re all nice, (robert is... questionable, to put it one way) but they don’t need to see that. they have their own problems.

like a responsible grown adult, mc goes to the bar. he doesn’t intend to get drunk, just to loosen up a little, you know? just to feel better.

he gets drunk. ohoho, he gets drunk.

now, mc isn’t exactly the most intimidating presence in the room and he’s far from the strongest, but his weak aura must have been just enough to entice the criminal-ish nature of some... criminals.

it’s an okay conversation at first. some chit-chat, nothing special. my kid’s at home, do you have kids? no, i’m just a thug, man. oh, okay, yeah, great, nice to meet you, mr. thug.

mc is shoved off his barstool. he hears the shing of a knife being drawn and smells some odd combination of booze and fresh brawl-blood on the floor. he doesn’t register much more. when he blinks, he’s laying out on the sidewalk, a familiar face hovering over his. the face is fuzzy and dark on the edges, as if it’s made of smoke.

“robert?”

ok this got WAY out of hand even after i promised it wouldnt. basically this is kinda the format for an au i had in mind ft my own Famther OC. this is kind of just a rough outline of each characters’ powers and as u can see it’s not hm. polished. but!! it’s fun & i want to describe the supersuits (& maybe figure out aliases??) next! i’m trying to figure out a way to work in the other characters & ofc the kids but. atm this is what i got!! i listed the dads @ the beginning in the same order i wrote abt them jic i was too vague w descriptions. i would go back n rewrite all the ones before hugo but tbh i cba just ask if u wanna know more. in any case thamk u for listening!!!!! tune in fr more

#superhero au #a family of all dads #mod m #ddadds #dream daddy #au #text #text: a family of all dads #these tags are such a pain but im a sweet good organized baby boy
