Imagine Maurice halfheartedly helping Soma make his hair into ringlets (or as curly as he can make it with what he has to work with), and Soma helping Maurice upgrade his make up with his own personal much better supply 👌💛💜

Thinking about the grand generals as kids and every time I remember how close Soma and Tatsuomi used to be I become :') bc they're so distant now... they were already starting to slowly drift apart at 14 / a few weeks after the soul test, but afterwards the difference in strength must've been as obvious as Akihiro's and Haruhisa's was bc from then on we saw in extras that Tatsuomi wasn't even able to put a dent on boulders while every red soul shattered them to smithereens, and considering the context (post-war, the five of them becoming captains and having no one to lean on other than themselves)... as terrible as it sounds, I doubt Soma felt he could afford to waste his time training with Tatsuomi any longer when it was obvious that'd get him nowhere

Every time I hear “the one that got away” by Katy Perry I have to hold myself together in fear of breaking down because I remembered Prince Soma and Agni’s dynamic duo.

I think the main reason I've started watching Para: We are King was because there are not a lot of series here where you have people with a migration background in lead roles that are not used as a laughing stock or as a way to enhance stereotypes (*cough* Türkisch für Anfänger *cough*) so I thought why not try it out. I think it is so important for people to see themselves on tv, to feel seen, to feel heard. It is important to see these flawed characters trying their best and still fucking up. It is important that yes, maybe they are partly fulfilling stereotypes, maybe they are not, but that is not what matters the most. These characters have layers to them the same way that you shouldn't put labels on real people because you never know someone's whole story and you shouldn't judge someone just because you think you have the right. People are allowed to make mistakes and fuck up and then do better again. People deserve better than they get. Equally important it is for me to get to watch these storylines that I don't relate to at all but that still have characters that I get. I don't have to relate to everything.

suna rintaro here. my girlfriend, y/n, is being distant today and i don't know why. let me tell you about what happened.
we were supposed to have our separate zooms with her on my lap, but she left to a different room near the very beginning. she tried to play it off with "i have a pop quiz and i need to focus. can't have my grade drop just because i can't focus on your lap with your zoom in the background," but we all know that that is absolute bs. she could've focused on my lap just fine, and we all know that failing a 10-point pop quiz from chiahara-sensei happens to the best of us. and if you're wondering, i am the best of the best.
then, after we both finished our annoyingly long 1.5 hour lectures, (well she claimed hers was in fact a 40-point pop quiz/test but it def wasn't) she refused to cook together. she said something like, "rin, you burned yourself last time, remember? go sit down," but that, too, is bs. yes, i spilled hot water on my sweats last time i tried to make pasta, but it was on my knee, so it wasn't like it was a big deal anyways. i don't know why she kept making excuses.
then, after we finished eating the meal she cooked without me, she had the audacity to get on a zoom call when i didn't have one. and after that terrible offense, she refused to sit on my lap for it AGAIN. she said that inuzuka-sensei was always more strict about what we wore in zooms, and i wouldn't get away with no shirt on like soma-sensei let me. when i told her that her body would block mine, she said that my chest and shoulders would still be perfectly visible. then, she guilted me by saying that she didn't want other girls to see my "perfectly toned abs," as she called them. AND THEN she had the impudence to TEASE ME and LIE TO ME by telling me my cheeks and ears were getting red! couldn't believe her.
then, after all our classes were over, she refused to cuddle with me because APPARENTLY her friend's sister a block down rolled and sprained her ankle, and that it was getting pretty bruised and swollen. she also added that her friend didn't have any advil or experience in injuries, and apparently she was asked to bring some advil, a compression bandage, and a couple ice packs. when i told her that her friend could just buy some and that she could get her own ice pack, she tried to get out of it by telling me that her friend's sister was only 5, was bawling her eyes out, refused to be left alone but also screamed louder when she was picked up, and that we also had a lot to spare because we have a ton of supplies in the closet because of my constant volleyball injuries. again, absolute bs. her friend could just go grab everything herself. what did it matter that the kid was crying? fuck kids! do you know how funny those youtube videos of kids getting hurt and crying are? people enjoy them for a reason. it's because kids are annoying as hell and it's fun to watch them get injured. im subscribed to like 10 of those kinds of channels. her friend is literally getting free entertainment and y/n obviously just wants to watch the free entertainment WITHOUT ME because she'd rather be with her stupid friend than me.
all in all, please help. i don't know why she's so distant today. is she mad? please give me tips!

Snake, madam red, lau, agni, and Soma
With Ceil cousin ( the mom of his cousin, we need better name it's gets confusing), like how are they liked with a hard working mother who care for her only son ( care enough that they still trying to get out of the Phantomhive name liked that previous ask )
Tumblr media
Cousin Mother Reader | Yandere Blackbutler
Tumblr media
Madame Red
When she hears about you through the grapevine she’s interested
Further impressed with your literate ability and pride in your single-motherhood
She does have a nasty habit for killing people who don’t
“What confidence…I admire that about you dearest cousin.”
She’s plenty pleased that Ciel’s decided to keep you with him
Not only to have a valid excuse to bug you but to be the perfect one to help you ‘run’
“Society’s hard on us women, it’s best if we stick together. Right~?”
She enjoys the attention and needy face+ you give her when trying to scheme 
She doesn’t care all that much that Ciel is well aware of this
After all, he isn’t exactly privileged enough to be a shoulder you lean on 
“Sorry but I’m not going to stop! Us two are just two peas in a pod! We belong together!”
Tumblr media
Lau
“Ah~so Ciel has added another to the pack? How interesting!”
He really is intrigued especially when you outright scold him and Ran Mao 
“Have some dignity you two. There are children present!”
“Oh do we upset you mother dearest?”
“Don’t mock me. And if you’re going to smoke do it outside, scum.”
“Oh? Your twittering is so violent, why don’t you sing instead? It’d surely make you an even prettier prize.”
“Hey! Miss (Y/n) please don’t throw that at ‘m! Please don’t!”
He loves provoking you 
He thinks its hot
Most women he’s met are a lot more docile 
And with a child no less 
Oh what’d he give to have you straddle him like Ran Mao 
To have you beg him for his help 
But it seems your pride excludes him from your ventures
Too bad you don’t want to work with him an opium manufacturer
He’d love to take care of you both
Tumblr media
Agni 
He admires your diligence 
And the way you smile when you talk to your baby boy
He wonders why you don’t treat Ciel the same way
“It must be nice to be able to travel as freely as you two do.”
“...I’m sure the prince wouldn’t mind, having you travel with us.”
“While I wish I could, the government won’t allow me to go so freely. Currently, the acting ‘man’ isn’t willing to let me go.”
“...What’s his name? Surely he wouldn’t refuse an honest marriage proposal.”
He’d wish you weren’t silenced from telling him
Otherwise, he might be tempted to go behind his prince’s back again
Tumblr media
Soma
“Marry me (Y/n)! Ciel can take care of your child and we can go back to–”
“Can’t and won’t. My child goes with me, no matter what.”
“Awwwww!”
Because he acts like a child its a given you treat him like one
And man does it feed his mommy issues
When he decides he wants you he’ll have you 
He just has to keep asking nicely right?
If not he’ll just have Agni relocate you
That way he’d be the only baby that you have
Tumblr media
Snake
“Well that’s a strong mate if I ever sees one–says Wormsworth. And I agree.”
He’s used to being feared
not anyone with genuine knowledge of his reptilian compatriots
So already he holds a strong attraction to you 
He can’t believe Ciel intends to hurt you 
He doubted from the start
So he can’t be tricked to think he’s not protecting you and your kid
So he might sabotage your schemes or send a snake when its going too well
He wants you to love him he really does 
But if all he can do is protect you he’ll do just that
Besides if you left how else would he show you how good of a mate he is

Scenes/characters I expect to see after blue revenge arc
Just to clarify, with blue revenge arc I'm referring to this mission arc we currently have. I doubt r!ciel will be defeated after the missions are over so I will probably give it a different name whatever follows after we've seen o!ciel and sebastian at the hotel.
For obvious reasons I will exclude o!ciel and sebastian, they are literally the protagonists, ofc we will see them again. Undertaker and r!ciel will also be excluded since they are the major antagonists right now and will also definitely appear again.
So let's begin:
1. An interrogation scene between layla and the reapers
Tumblr media
Remember that layla got captured by ronald and william? I definitely expect layla to make a return once she arrived in the shinigami corp. I'm not sure if I expect ronald to be there but william definitely will be and I can also see grell and othello watching since we haven't seen the two in quite a while
2. Another interrogation scene in scotland yard headquarters
Tumblr media
Blavat got arrested and was supposed to be put into prison and later appear in court alongsides o!ciel but since he and sebastian already escaped, blavat is the only one in prison. Considering scotland yard just freshly captured blavat, an interrogation about his motives is to be expected
3. Some focus on the midfords
Tumblr media
Lizzy is included as well (but that was the best picture I found). They obviously need to deal with the whole drama themselves and I definitely expect them to reappear and talk to each other about what they think about the twins drama and lizzys depression
4. Sieglinde and wolfram with their research and planning
Tumblr media
Sieglinde still has the blood samples from the sphere music hall and surely must have read what happened in the newspaper. I don't think she will just sit by and do nothing for the rest of the manga, I'm certain they will appear again somehow
5. A reunion between the servants, lau and ran mao
Tumblr media
Sebastian and o!ciel will probably be there too (or not depending on their mission) but I do expect those 5 to see each other again and exchange how their missions went. I think that's where they will find out that snake died
6. The queen and her servants
Tumblr media
Girlie has been awfully quiet since the twin reveal and I wonder when she will appear again. R!ciel mentioned needing to hold a audience with her but being too weak right now so who knows when she will appear again. I do think it will happen somehow
7. The p4 reuniting
Tumblr media
I don't think we will get something too big but I definitely think they will appear again. They were part of the sphere music hall so the police was on the lookout for them anyways. I do expect them to appear again and talk to violet since we haven't seen them reunite after blavat nearly killed violet
8. Soma focus (?)
Tumblr media
Now I wasn't sure if I should include him since I'm pretty certain he will be in the hotel that o!ciel and sebastian will visit next. But if he isn't in the hotel then he will definitely still appear afterwards. That man can not completely dip after agni died and he still falsely believes it was o!ciel
9. Tanaka (maybe with the servants?)
Tumblr media
Tanaka is still with r!ciel and undertaker but we haven't seen him in a good while. I do think we will see him again once yana finally shows r!ciel again. I theorize that maybe we will see some reunion between the servants and tanaka but that's probably something I just really want to see. I doubt tanaka will leave r!ciels side since he did say that he's forever serving the head/heir of phantomhive and o!ciel wasn't supposed to be
10. Some flashback with vincent
Tumblr media
That smug bastard will appear, I know it. I'm pretty sure he must have done something to end up dead so I think we will get a focus on him in a potential flashback from r!ciel. Afterall since r! ciel was raised to be the heir, I'm certain he spent more time with vincent than o!ciel did and probably did catch a few things here and there. Maybe that would explain why r!ciel caught onto the fact that something was off much quicker than o!ciel did
That was my little theory on who/what I think will appear/happen in the next arc after the missions. Hope you liked it!
If you have any corrections, additional thoughts or agree with anything, please let me know!

Puppy | Shanks x Fem! Reader [ Part 2 ] ♡
Warning : English is not my first language !!
a/n : I didn't plan to write part 2 but a few people were asking for it , so here's part 2 !! This part might not be good and I had a hard time writing it but I tried ! (T▼T) Hope you enjoy!!
➱ part 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
" Mama ... Can I play now ? "
Your son asks , a pencil between his lips , looking at you with puppy eyes , silently asking " please mommy " .
You laugh and rub his soft red hair , which is almost touching his shoulder .
" Okay but you have to come back at 5 " You answer and peck his forehead .
" Thanks mommy !! " He grabs the strawhat you made for him and runs out of the house . He wanted to have a strawhat like Luffy's that he winced about it everyday so you made it by yourself and gave him as a present for his 5 years old birthday .
You sigh and lean back against the back of the chair and close your eyes , your hand on your forehead .
You miss Luffy . Thinking about the time when everybody in the village was celebrating when his wanted poster came out and your son couldn't stop talking about how Luffy was so cool and awesome and he's going to be King of The Pirates soon but you told him it's not that easy . He was a big brother for your little son . Your son once told you that he wants to be like Luffy when he grows up .
You can't help but think about your son , how lonely he is since Luffy sailed away . You know he hides it because he doesn't want to make you sad . You always blame yourself for not making him happy .
There were nights when you couldn't sleep , depressed and lonely , but your beautiful son was there for you , you watched him sleep and ran your fingers through his hair , it always made you feel okay .
But still , you're so lonely ...
The only one that kept you going before your son was born was Luffy . And now you live for your son . At nights , you cry yourself to sleep , you were carrying a baby and no one was beside you .
It was all his faults ... you blame him . You hate him , you tried so hard to hate him but you couldn't ...
You love him . You still love him after all this ...
You love him so much , but you're not going to think about him anymore . You'll try not to ...
Tumblr media
The small boy slowly walk along the shore , his little feets sinking into the sand , he squints his eyes , looking down at the sand , searching for small seashells . Suddenly the wind blows his hat off . The boy panicks , ready to run and get his hat back .
A person appears in front of him and grab the strawhat , the boy stops as he looks up at the person , his eyes widen as he smiles and runs towards the person .
" Here you go , little guy "
The boy hugs his strawhat close to his chest then put it on his head .
" Why is your hair looks the same as mine , Mister ? "
" Humm .. I don't know " " What's your name ,kid ? "
" Soma .. and you ? "
The man crouch down and smile at him .
" My name's Shanks "
" Come with me !! I want to thank you and my mommy makes the best meals in the world !! You're going to love it " Shanks eyes widen when Soma hold his hand and leads him towards the village .
Tumblr media
Finally ... After years Shanks found himself standing on the land of Foosha Village again .
He couldn't wait to meet you ... to see your face again . It won't be easy , he didn't know what you've been doing after he left . Maybe you have someone new ? A boyfriend ? Or worse , what if you were a married woman and carrying someone's child ?He hate to think about it .. he wants you all to himself , but you're more important than anything , so he's happy if you're happy .
It wasn't even an hour when Shanks thought you'd slap him in the face when you see him but here he is ... sitting at the little dinner table with you and your son- No his son , the red hair said it all . He felt his heart dropped when he saw that boy from a far , he thought he was seeing his younger self . And that strawhat ...
God .. he feels bad . He feels so fucking bad for you .
He couldn't even imagine you dealing with all the problems alone . He wants to apologies , get on his knees , taking your hands in his , begging you to slap him , hit him so you feel a little better . But not now , he has to wait . He's ashamed of himself , he left you with nothing , didn't even know that you were carrying his son and now he's just sitting with you and Soma like nothing happened .
You avoid looking at him since he stepped into your house with Soma's hand holding his . Shanks eyes always following you and hoping you would look at him just for a second . But you didn't . You talk to Soma and smile whenever the boy answers the question , your eyes filled with love . You were acting like he doesn't even exist .
The dinner was awkward and uncomfortable for you . You felt a little sad because Soma's full focus was on Shanks . The entire time , Soma didn't even care that he brought a stranger Well , not exactly a stranger in the house . You are washing the dishes and Soma and Shanks are still are in the living room . Not typically a living room since your small house doesn't have a room except for the bathroom .
You look back slightly , to see what they were doing .
Soma is showing Shanks his notebook which is full of sketches . He loves to draw . Your eyes shift from Soma from Shanks , who's already looking at you . You froze and look away immediately .
Fuck ...
It was getting dark , Shanks decided that this is the time to speak to you .
" Alright, little guy . I'm going back now "
Shanks chuckles when Soma pouts , looking a little sad .
" But you'll come back tomorrow right !? We will play together " Soma looks at Shanks with hopes in his eyes . Shanks smiles softly and pat the boy's hat .
" Of course, we can play whenever you want "
" Yayyyy!! "
" It's bedtime , Soma " You speak from near the dinner table , looking down at the boy . You feel Shanks looking at you , but you just keep your eyes on your son.
" Okay , Mommy . I'll get clean up now " Soma
Shanks heart melts at his son's reply , Soma seems to love you as much as he do . His eyes shift from Soma to you .
" When did you return? " Your voice was loud in this little house , it was dark outside and almost too quiet since you live a little far from the village .
" This afternoon " He slowly get up and stands in front of you , you finally look up at him but say nothing .
His hand reach out to touch your cheek but you take a step back . The action clearly hurts him but he keeps his cool .
" Sweetheart- "
" Don't .. " You take a deep breath , looking down at the floor . Shanks keeps quiet , waiting for you to continue .
" You- You can't just come back like nothing happened . I was- Fuck- It was hard Shanks , I was all alone , carrying your child when you're away looking for some exciting adventure !! "
You tried to stay calm but thinking about those day when you struggled all alone makes you feel irritated . You didn't know you were crying until Shanks's thumb wipes them away . You cry even more when he hold you tightly , mummering apologies . " I'm so sorry , sweetheart . I'm really sorry . You can hit me all you like please don't cry " . You put your hand on his arm as he lightly kiss your temple . You pull away as he rest his palm on your cheeks .
" Please leave now , Shanks " You whispers . Shanks gives you a gentle smile . He looks at you before opening the door . " I love you " Then he leaves . You feels the urge to run after him and hug him tightly and say " I love you too " . But you hold yourself back .
" Mommy , are you okay ? " Soma is looking at you with worries in his eyes . You wipe your tears one more time before lifting him up and hugging him tightly . Soma giggles " Mommy , I can't breath ! "
You kiss his forehead before setting him on the bed . He immediately put his head on your chest and throw his leg over you as you lie down next to him .
" Mommy .. I'm sorry " Soma looks at you with sadness in his eyes .
" What ? Why baby ? " You frown .
" I know you told me not to talk to strangers but Shanks is different . I just knows that he's a nice guy when he looked at me and you looked mad during the dinner . I was scared that you'd mad at me . I'm sorry I didn't listen to you Mommy "
You heart melts , he is looking at you with puppy eyes just like his dad ... You smiles brightly and kiss him all over his face as his laugh filled the house .
" I could never be mad at you , honey . Thank you for worrying about me . I love you "
" I love you more " He kiss your cheeks and close his eyes .
Tumblr media
When you open your eyes , the sun was already shining brightly . You groan and slowly get up from the bed . You can't even open your eyes fully because they are too sticky and you don't feel like opening it at all but you have work to do . You quickly take a shower ,wear a nice simple gown and kiss Soma's forehead .
" Wake up , Soma .. it's time for school " Well , it's actually not a school . A year ago , a young man moved to the village and requested to teach the kids how to read and write , which all the villagers gladly agreed . It took ten minutes to wake up Soma , you scolded him abit about it and he started looking at you with puppy eyes , he knows it's your weakness. You sighed when he finally gave up and agreed to go .
Your eyes widen as soon as you open the door . Shanks was standing in front of the door , holding a big bouquet . He's staring at you so deeply that it almost make you shy . He steps closer and hand you the bouquet . You don't say anything as you gently took it .
" Thank you ... " You whisper .
" Take a walk with me ? " He asks , looking at you with puppy eyes . You shouldn't be doing this . But you've missed him .. so fucking much . You though you were too tough and could've ignore him but in reality you just fell in love with him again .
" Okay "
Shanks , holds his arm out for you . You timidly slipped your arm through his as you both starts walking .
" I saw Luffy's poster " Shanks is the one who started the conversation . " He's a big guy now . I'm proud of him " He continues .
" Yes , everyone was so happy for him when the poster came out " You replied . Suddenly he stops walking , you look at him wondering why he stops but he's already looking at you .
His fingers touching yours before holding your hand tightly , foreheads almost touching as he took a deep breath before started speaking .
" I miss you sweetheart , so fucking much . I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you were pregnant , I didn't even know you were carrying my child- Fuck I'm such an asshole " He closes his eyes for a moment then continues to speak .
" I know it's not easy to forgive me but let me make it up to you .. " He hold your cheeks delicately , gazing into your eyes .
" It's no use , Shanks .. you're going to leave me again " You look down and says nervously , eyes starting to well up .
" Marry me " Your eyes widen , you feel like you can't move all of a sudden . What- What did he just say ? Did you hear it right ?? He chuckles and kiss your forehead . " What- "
" I said marry me , sweetheart " You're looking at him like he's crazy . " Come with me , there're many countries under my flag . I'll keep you and Soma safe " . You sniff , wiping your tears but they just keep falling down . Then Shanks face expression changes as he hold you in his arms tightly ,cooing you like you're a crybaby . After a while , you calm down but still sniffing and breathing heavily , Shanks holds your cheeks and lifts your face .
" So , will you- " You grab his face and kiss him before he could finish the question . He kisses you back , hard . Both of you have missed each other so much , the kiss become sloppy and messy . You pull away , Shanks tries to kiss you again but you push his shoulders slightly . He is breathing so hard , you giggle and kiss his nose .
" So when's the wedding ? "

hey hey!! I was wondering if I could request headcanons of Prince soma from black butler falling in love with reader (they/them pronouns pls :3) and how he would go about courting them pls and Thank u :D!
//Absolutely my dear!!! Pairing: Prince Soma/ (they/them) reader Warnings: mild conclusion jumping, mild intoxication.
One thing about Soma that you found endearing was that he never did, or asked Agni to do anything, in half measures. No, if he was going to do anything or ask anyone else to do something, it was going to be at a hundred percent effort or nothing at all. Which was exactly why his sudden absence was so jarring to you. After all, you were his "Favorite Person", and thus one of the people he did his best to spend all of his time with. Yet for going on almost a week you hadn't seen him, even in passing. You'd over heard conversations of course, Soma wasn't a quiet person, and hadn't been for as long as you'd known him. And what you heard didn't exactly help what you were feeling. "Ciel, you don't understand, there's just something about them!" You'd heard Soma nearly sobbing through the study door and decided you could wait to talk to both of them until that, whatever it was, had been taken care of. "Agni, I can't take it anymore." You'd paused mid step outside the library when you heard him start. if something was bothering him you wanted to know, partly because he was a dear friend, and partly because you are nosey by nature, "Every time i spend time with Y/N it's just like -" He breaks into a sound that is somewhere between a groan and a scream and it made you hurt a little. There was no way to construe that sound other than being one of distress.
You retreated into your thoughts gradually. Had you done something wrong? Was there a reason Soma wanted to end your friendship? Why hadn't he said something? You've been friends since childhood, there had to be a reason he didn't tell you about this. Agni would probably tell you if you asked, as long as Soma hadn't made him promise not to. Unless of course the end of your friendship with Soma also ended your relationship with Agni, in which case he would be pleasantly evasive and you would remain in the dark. Going to Ciel or Sebastian was out of the question. Ciel tolerated you only slightly more than Soma, and Sebastian wouldn't tell you just to hold it over you that he knew something you didn't. Or, at least that was the feeling he gave off. Which ultimately left laying low and hoping this would pass like all of Soma's other low moods. None of that of course explained the weird questions you got asked by Sebastian and Agni throughout the week. Preferred drink with a long meal? Rose wine or a dark tea depending on what's being served. Favorite dessert? Anything sweet as long as it comes with coffee. Favorite music for a gathering? Anything upbeat but quiet enough not to impede the conversation. Any specifications for new clothes? Light colored and easy to move in please.
And then more nothing, at least from Soma and Ciel. The Phantomhive Servants seemed to be rushing to get something together for something big happening within the next few days. Meanwhile Agni didn't seem keen to let you out of his sight, especially when you were around Soma. Acting almost like a chaperone whenever Soma would ask for your attention and would struggle through a short conversation with you before panicking and rushing off. It was awkward, but cute. It reminded you of when you were growing up and he would have a crush on someone, though you were relatively sure he was just trying to find a polite way to say he wants nothing to do with you. Which he could do without Agni, it's not like you would start a fight just because Soma has outgrown you. It was bound to happen eventually. Has to grow up and be a royal, and well, you've got your job as a court musician. Which begs the question of what the hell you are supposed to do when Soma inevitably fires you.
Come Sunday you're startled awake by the sound of someone in your room. You open your eyes slowly while reaching for the knife you keep under your pillow just in case; a gift from Soma ironically enough; and then relax at the sight of Agni. You should have been surprised as it had been two weeks since the last time he had done something like this, but instead you found yourself overwhelmed by the familiarity of it. He waits to start speaking until you've sat sup some, a silent way of letting him know that you're coherent. "I've laid out your clothes for the day, they are for a party this evening so try to keep them clean." He opened the curtains as he spoke and you followed the trail of light down the bed to the outfit laid at the foot of your bed. It was a suit made of light, nearly pastel blue fabric with the suit vest being a darker blue than the over coat and pants, but lighter than the shirt. The suit coat caught your attention the most. It was a slimmer fit, which was something you preferred, the waist was close cut and the tailcoat to it flared out in layers almost like a skirt. You adored it. "The party will begin shortly after tea time and will include dinner and dancing."
You nodded slowly, "Okay. But why am I invited? I am not a member of the house, and it sounds like you already have a band to play..." "Soma wants you there." Agni replied as though it was that simple, "Don't be late, please, after so much planning I think it would leave him upset." Weird, but you could do that, "I was under the impression he didn't want me around anymore, but I'll be there." Agni smiled slightly, the same pleasant but tense one that he used when mediating your and Soma's arguments growing up, "You'll probably have to ask him about that. Now on to today's breakfast and morning tea..."
With something to look forward to, that wasn't trying and failing to improve Ciel's skills with a violin, the day seemed to pass in a blur. Soon enough it was time for the party, which was really less of a party and more of gathering of nobles and some music. In total it was you, Soma, Lizzy, and Ciel. With Ciel and Lizzy dancing and you and Soma standing awkwardly a part from each other. He would try to start a conversation, only to stop and sigh, then take a drink from his glass of something that smelled much stronger than the rose wine from dinner. He'd shoot a desperate glance at Agni, who would only shake his head. You were so fucking confused. After he got two drinks into his system Soma finally asked you to dance. It was less a dance and more you guiding him around the room to the music while he tried to keep his feet under him. He seemed content and almost pliant, so the last thing you expected was conversation. "Are you happy?" His voice came out right above your ear, because even drunkenly slouched he was still taller than you. "Is this okay?" "You know I always enjoy dancing with you So." You were aiming for reassuring, but it fell flat even to you, "This is perfect." He hums, and you know more is coming, "But are you happy, with the way things are now?" "Soma, I'm not sure what you're asking me?" You're gentle as you come to a stop so he won't fall, "Are you asking me if I'm happy that you avoided me like a plague rat for a week? Because honestly between that and what you said I'm hurt and confused."
Under any other circumstances you would have found the owlish way he blinked at you comical, but right now you could have slapped the confused look right off his face. Violence could wait for now though, you wanted answers. "I...." He sighed out his frustration and tightened his grip on you just slightly, "I was trying to figure out a way to confront this.... the feeling I get when I am around you." You quirked an eyebrow tilting your head in a way that encouraged to him to continue, "So I tried asking Ciel, but well, you know how he is. Then I went to Sebastian, and well.... that didn't go as planned. So then I went to Agni and he said to talk to you, and I tried that and i... couldn't say what I wanted to. SO i thought I would throw a party, try and recreate the night we first met but no one really wanted to come on such sort notice." "So how do you feel then?" You succeed only barely in keeping the laugh out of your voice. "I haven't drank enough to answer that yet." He answered, "Can I show you instead?" "Sure. If that's easier for you." You figured there wasn't much he would risk doing negatively in such a public setting. You weren't expecting to be on the receiving end of a strongly whiskey flavored kiss. His nose bumped yours in his eagerness, but you didn't mind, pressing just a little closer. When Soma pulls away you smile softly. "I can live with that." You hum and he grins.

➳ character/s: yukihira soma, kurokiba ryo, hayama akira, nakiri alice, tsukasa eishi
➳ warnings: swearing, hayama being homeless and orphaned as a kid, marriage fever (soma)
➳ notes: food wars is love, food wars is life, people should get over the weird foodgasms so they can actually watch art ._. (also soma is my ideal man, when can i find one-)

── 𝐘𝐔𝐊𝐈𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐀.  
talk your shit
he'll get you a megaphone to say it again
he agrees with you 100%
now you have to marry him btw :))
constantly trying out any new yukihira diner recipes on you
he may be at totsuki, but he still wants to take over the diner and make happiness affordable and memorable
you don't need fancy shit to bring people joy >:((
he also drags you to tons of festivals n markets to try the street food and festival food
if unhealthy, why taste good??
screaming if you ever make him something homemade
and he will scoff that shit down
he gets sick of fancy food too, so he's more than happy to have your homemade things in between classes
constantly leaning over your shoulder at the dorms to see what you're making
always licks the bowl if it's a cake or something
personal dish washer
will make you a yukihira diner dish in bento form every time you have to be away for something
comfort food and a movie at least twice a week
jokingly calls you 'wifey' regardless of gender because he's determined you'll get married for the homemade food thing
joichiro approves-
── 𝐊𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐁𝐀 𝐑𝐘𝐎.
a lowkey judgmental squint at you
-.-
he's unsure if he agrees with you
but he's never gonna say no to trying anything homemade that you offer him
will give you the hum of approval every time
maybe he's starting to see your point-
you're not always the one making him homemade food though
sometimes he comes to you to go on a cute little picnic date and has made you a special dish from denmark to share with you
will just listen to you talk while he eats and occasionally pitches in
don't challenge him too much though, because if you make a joke that your homemade food is better, you're in for it
can you have a shokugeki with 'peasant food'??
alice's words, not yours-
he's not very open with emotions but you can tell from the little smile he's suppressing that he feels loved when he eats homemade food
and it also lets him relax after classes and outside of trying to destroy soma
he gets to make cute and quaint dishes for you and not stress about the quality of the dish
n he gets to see that smile of yours :))
not that he'd ever admit that-
but like soma, he's hovering over you while you cook
probably snacking on the leftovers
── 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐀.
ask and you shall receive
he has probably never had a homemade meal before-
and homemade meals are now your love languages
also probably cried when you first made him something homemade
just a couple snivels and tears
that's also when he first fell in love but you won't catch him saying that to anyone else
makes you a lot of indian street food to connect more with his culture and introduce you if you're not already familiar
always makes you something if you feel upset or down
and it's always very urgent??
he's a very attentive lover
he hears you're upset and he's speed running a lil curry n naan for you and he's COMING OVER RIGHT NOW-
y'all always make lunch for each other because if you're not with each other, you feel the love you have for each other either way
and if you have lunch together, compliments (and kisses) to the chef
unlike the others, who snack on whatever is leftover while you cook for them
hayama feeds you your leftovers
gently feeding a lil carrot stick to you ;v;
he made his own spice blend that he thinks encapsulates you as a person and you definitely can't find that in stores-
people have asked him what the spice is called
n he just called it by your name
── 𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐄.
she doesn't get it-
homemade food isn't as exquisite???
what are you on??
this is entirely because her parents are elitists and she never got HOMEmade food
got professional food only
and she doesn't know what homemade food actually tastes like
and that's kinda dumb tbh-
how does one survive without a lovingly made dish??
loving the cooking is different to making something BECAUSE you love them
so now it's your mission to convert her :))
it didn't take very long, you gave her breakfast in bed and she was sold
now she knows what love actually feels like and this is a pivotal moment
to be fair though
she can't really replicate homemade cooking for a while
because she never got taught and she can't get the strict training out of her system
how do you make molecular gastronomy homey??
it's fine, you'll just have to teach her
bonding time in the kitchen
she'll get the hang of it eventually, but for now she's fine with just having you cook loving meals for her
── 𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐀 𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈.
somehow it's more nerve wracking making a homemade dish than a fancy one
because you like homemade things more ;v;
and he doesn't want to disappoint you
also probably doesn't know how to make a homemade meal-
are you sure you can't just treat him??
he's baby
he can't handle this shit :((
gladly takes homemade food from you though
but he wants cuddles while he eats your cooking
will also learn to make more homemade things and let go of the reins a little bit with PRESTIGE
probably also cried when he first tried your cooking
and this is lowkey what he wishes totsuki was
less stressful, more time with you, no more panic attacks-
the first time he ever gave you a homemade meal he was sweating bullets and shaking like crazy
but he got rewards, so now he does it all the time
kisses
"you could just ask for a kiss, you know."
"...'s so embarrassing..."
you now know a homemade meal means he wants kisses

Soma is so interesting in the sense that... he's so tender and so indifferent at the same time. Out of the five grand generals he cares the least about Musashi and whether he lives or dies EVEN AFTER Musashi proves he's the Obsidian Goddess and Jisai's son (whereas Tatsuomi and Tsubasa, the other two coldest ones, both became close to Musashi bc of it) but he's also the one who'd be the most emotionally hurt if someone close to him were to get injured or killed (whereas Naotora saw Tatsuomi's blood pouring down a wall and heard he got killed but had no change in expression)

suna rintaro here. my girlfriend, y/n, is being distant today and i don't know why. let me tell you about what happened.
we were supposed to have our separate zooms with her on my lap, but she left to a different room near the very beginning. she tried to play it off with "i have a pop quiz and i need to focus. can't have my grade drop just because i can't focus on your lap with your zoom in the background," but we all know that that is absolute bs. she could've focused on my lap just fine, and we all know that failing a 10-point pop quiz from chiahara-sensei happens to the best of us. and if you're wondering, i am the best of the best.
then, after we both finished our annoyingly long 1.5 hour lectures, (well she claimed hers was in fact a 40-point pop quiz/test but it def wasn't) she refused to cook together. she said something like, "rin, you burned yourself last time, remember? go sit down," but that, too, is bs. yes, i spilled hot water on my sweats last time i tried to make pasta, but it was on my knee, so it wasn't like it was a big deal anyways. i don't know why she kept making excuses.
then, after we finished eating the meal she cooked without me, she had the audacity to get on a zoom call when i didn't have one. and after that terrible offense, she refused to sit on my lap for it AGAIN. she said that inuzuka-sensei was always more strict about what we wore in zooms, and i wouldn't get away with no shirt on like soma-sensei let me. when i told her that her body would block mine, she said that my chest and shoulders would still be perfectly visible. then, she guilted me by saying that she didn't want other girls to see my "perfectly toned abs," as she called them. AND THEN she had the impudence to TEASE ME and LIE TO ME by telling me my cheeks and ears were getting red! couldn't believe her.
then, after all our classes were over, she refused to cuddle with me because APPARENTLY her friend's sister a block down rolled and sprained her ankle, and that it was getting pretty bruised and swollen. she also added that her friend didn't have any advil or experience in injuries, and apparently she was asked to bring some advil, a compression bandage, and a couple ice packs. when i told her that her friend could just buy some and that she could get her own ice pack, she tried to get out of it by telling me that her friend's sister was only 5, was bawling her eyes out, refused to be left alone but also screamed louder when she was picked up, and that we also had a lot to spare because we have a ton of supplies in the closet because of my constant volleyball injuries. again, absolute bs. her friend could just go grab everything herself. what did it matter that the kid was crying? fuck kids! do you know how funny those youtube videos of kids getting hurt and crying are? people enjoy them for a reason. it's because kids are annoying as hell and it's fun to watch them get injured. im subscribed to like 10 of those kinds of channels. her friend is literally getting free entertainment and y/n obviously just wants to watch the free entertainment WITHOUT ME because she'd rather be with her stupid friend than me.
all in all, please help. i don't know why she's so distant today. is she mad? please give me tips!
@.su.rin post made at 4:16pm
comments: @.y/n.l/n: HELP WHAT IS THIS @.y/n.l/n: for the record i got an a+ on that so it was worth it @.y/n.l/n: love u always rin <333 @.su.rin: reply to @.y/n./l/n- ik that u hate me its ok

Spitballs another ref complete, soma!! She is the one I ship mainly with fang in Regular undertale setting and in her Canon og setting with Makoto. Shes just a lovely lil siren out to have a good time :D and she love her hubband and wife allot.
About soma below!
- she's a fire demon/siren hybrid. She's not meant to look like that for a siren. So she's considered "ugly" to siren standards and thata why her had is broken, sirens tried to bash her head when she was a baby to kill her, thinking she was a bad omen.
- she can turn ablaze like fire, and spit oil like ink that increases the intensity of it to a point that she can make fire happen underwater and it is difficult to put out. If she inks, and sets it ablaze. Consider that an explosion waiting to happen.
- Soma doesn't like using her fire powers as they hurt her allot due to her sensitive skin, her hybrid powers sadly are not stable.
- she used to have horns! But those opened cracks on her cranium are the result of them being gone :,)
- her father is the king of firedemons, and she has no idea what that even means LMAO
-Soma was raised by Orca sirens, hence her mimicing their colors. She can click and whistle like an Orca and dolphin and does this frequently to lure dolphins to kill and eat them.
- she is extremely aggressive to male sirens and prefers they stay away due to past experiences, unless they show an ounce of kindness to her. She will take that as mate worthy and try to court with them (the mistake fang did.). However she has a immense curiosity of the land beasts and humans, finding them very interesting.
-Soma is really clingy and sweet once she's out of her shell. She does like making friends and will do her best to learn their mannerisms to not make them uncomfortable! She knows her customs are different to those on land.
-her tentacles can shift to legs when she's on land, she's a little wobbly but it works PFNG
-Soma has a beak like teeth and three tongues. Her venom is similar to that of a blue ringed octopus but multiplied to her size, she can take down even the largest sirens with it and tear their throats or stomachs open with her mouth. She's genuinly horrifying and WILL make example of someone that tries to hurt her partners or babies
-Soma has two babies with makoto and fang! But in undertale au, it's only one baby with fang.
-in undertale au, soma is simply a siren monster that lives in the surface, most stories where she meets folks is because they either went to the surface or she accidentally fell to the underground through a stream that led her there.

“... so you see, you can never really upload your consciousness to a robot. At best, you can produce a digital clone of yourself while you will still be left stuck in your own body. Anyway, that is the plot of Soma. But it is also, as far as we know, how neuroscience works. Why are you shoving breadsticks into your purse?”

Yandere Second Affiliate I
For my lovely anon <33 I went the more platonic route, and added Sinu because this took so long (I'm trying to be nice)
I only included four of the members from the second affiliate, if you'd like me to include the other members, let me know :))
****
art's 21st birthday celebration masterlist
lookism masterlist
****
Tumblr media
****
Mitsuki Soma was the first to meet you.
Truth be told, you really weren't anyone important. Not in anyway that matters.
You were some lowly member of another affiliate, or the family member of one. Or maybe you were a young assistant to one of the spectators visiting the circus.
Maybe you were an accidental pick for the circus itself - no, not accidental. They didn't make accidents.
If she thinks back hard enough, Mitsuki might be able to remember. Maybe you were added to the list of people there for entertainment, meant only to add a small shock factor. After all, no one expected some small girl to be involved in such vicious fighting.
But regardless of who you were or how you came to cross paths with the second affiliate, Mitsuki was enthralled the moment she laid her eyes on you.
Something about you was just so alluring, in the most pathetic way possible.
She was surrounded by strong, capable people - people who had the physical strength of ten men, people smart enough to topple world-renowned businesses, people who were all extraordinary and the best at what they did.
So when she saw you - dull, so plain you nearly blended in with the walls, completely unnoticed by those around you - she felt something shift within her.
Her interest in you is intense and obvious, and no amount of shy refusals will get her to back off.
Ryuhei Kuroda took an interest in you because of that. After all, you had to be something worthwhile if his Mitsuki took an interest in you - unlike that stupid Sinu Han.
While his interest may not be as intense or invasive, it still makes you uncomfortable. Something about his gaze, the intensity of his leering stare - it makes you feel as though he knows things you don't even know about yourself.
His playful attitude also throws you off, especially with the business that he's in. Why was he so gleeful while fighting? Beating people half to death couldn't be all that fun.
What started off as interest born of a feeling akin to jealously quickly grows into something else.
Yes, he was jealous in the beginning, he was man enough to admit that - how could someone as plain and unassuming as you catch the attention of Mitsuki? He was right there! And surely ten times more interesting!
But that jealous, burning curiousity had changed somewhere along the line, and now his own interest sat on par with Mitsuki's, not that he'd ever admit it.
Speaking of Sinu Han, you were barely a blip on his radar at first. He was there to do a job, he couldn't give two shits about you.
At least, that was how it had been for the first few months after you'd arrived.
It was all but inevitable that he noticed the attention you garnered from Mitsuki and Ryuhei. That sparked his curiosity.
Two of the most uninterested, cold people he knew, both captivated by the same girl? You had to be something special to be worth their time and attention.
At first, he regarded you coldly, keeping an apathetic distance, but that didn't last long after he spent a bit of time with you.
Something about the warmth of your company, the softness of your presence - it was all achingly familiar, but he couldn't quite recall where he'd felt before.
After many, many months, he latches on to you, growing attached like an abandoned child.
And just like that, you've got another grown child attached at the hip, never giving you a moment of peace.
Kenta Magami tried to keep his personal feelings under lock.
What good would some obsession do him. He had plans for his life, he had to take revenge against Gun. He couldn't very well do that if his mind was preoccupied with some random girl, could he?
But despite his best efforts, he couldn't help his feelings.
Obsession was a slippery slope for all four of them, and just like his colleagues, you charmed him, captured his attention in ways he couldn't understand.
He probably scared you the most, after Mitsuki. Something about the look in his eyes when he caressed your cheek or kept you company while you ate - it chilled you to your core.
The single-minded focus, the intense aura that surrounded him whenever he stared at you, lost in thought - it terrified you.
They all terrified you.
And the times when you weren't scared, shaking from anxiety and exhaustion, you were bored.
They acted as your only source of entertainment, and left you locked up like some show bird when they weren't around.
You had all your needs taken care of, but you couldn't leave, and you couldn't speak to anyone beyond the executives of the Second Affiliate.
At the very least, your life was more comfortable now than it had been. You no longer had to worry about keeping a roof over your head, or when your next meal would be, or your safety while walking to and from work. Hell, you didn't even have to exhaust yourself working more hours than you had to at a job that payed below minimum wage, nor did you have to stay up till the sun rose studying for classes you couldn't afford.
Despite all that, you couldn't bring yourself to feel grateful for your situation. Trading in one hardship for another was hardly cause for celebration.
The second affiliate executives are horrible yanderes - you have no peace, no personal space, no autonomy.
You're forced to give up bits and pieces of yourself in exchange for their protection, if you could even go as far as to call it that. Truly, you have to have a great deal of mental fortitude to be able to deal with their mind games and not-so-subtle manipulation.

Soma and Whitewashing in Anime:
Avoiding "Brown"
Here is an image of Soma comparing his skin tone from the first season of Black Butler and the current season airing now. As you can see, Soma's skin is noticeably lighter than it was in the past. I considered the lighting and took shade from his hand that looks relatively mid tone. However, that's not really a fair excuse if the anime continues to lighten Soma's face this way.
Tumblr media
I also compared his skintone from the Book of Circus season which is relatively more recent, and chose images where he's clearly in good lighting. Soma is still noticeably lighter this time around.
Tumblr media
Whitewashing is an incredibly common phenomenon that been happening a lot lately in anime, especially with reboots. A great example I can think of off the top of my head is One Piece where they lightened nearly everyone's skin color in the anime, despite some of the cast being characters of color?
Tumblr media
(^^^this character is canonly black according to Oda, the mangaka.)
"Oh but Oda gives Usopp pale skin in all his color illustrations"
One, he should know better. Two, if Oda said Usopp would be African in real life, and chose a brown, Jamaican-american actor to play him, then yes, they have been ridiculously disrespectful in how they've been portraying the character's racial features so far.
Tumblr media
In that sense, it's actually relief that anime studios in the past weren't afraid of giving their characters darker skin unlike mangakas who were terrified of even the lighest shade of brown.
For instance, I am happy that A-1 studios made Soma, Agni, and Mina, who are all the same race, slightly differ in skin tone. Mina's skin is cooler toned compared to Soma and Agni's warmer hues.
Tumblr media
HOWEVER, and other fans pointed this out, Soma and Agni's skin leaned so far from being golden brown to straight yellow in many scenes, that they were walking around like they have jaundice which is so... Of course A-1 studios found some way to mess it up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Another thing, do you guys honestly think being accurate to Yana's art style is always the best thing to do in adaptions? Angela Blanc, the secret villain in the anime original first season, pretends to be an abused maid and gets whipped in her very first scene. And according to Yana's concept sketches, she was originally brown. I'm actually glad the anime whitewashed her in that instance.
I'd like to point out, Sebastian's skin tone has also changed in the new season, and he's noticeably tanner than his previous anime appearances and yana's illustrations. So why is this okay for the anime to make creative changes for sebastian's skin tone, but have to stay accurate for Soma? (whose dark skin been established in anime viewers' eyes for decades now).
Tumblr media
To be fair, I did a comparison of the anime grayscaled and Soma in the manga during the Weston arc. I checked the values and while I will say that his skin is relatively in the same as the manga, only few degrees lighter, whitewashing isn't only about skintone.
Tumblr media
Colourism in Features
We could argue whether its just different anime styles or the way Yana draws noses, but its not a great look for Soma's nose to be made noticeably sharper compared to his flatter/rounder nose in the manga/earlier seasons of the anime.
Tumblr media
Talking about the Mandela effect and cognitive dissonance as well... there's also something about how manga readers seen Soma with brown skin and pure black hair years in the manga, only for the anime to lighten those features.
It doesn't help that Soma canonly has purple hair and yellow eyes (if anything, I do appreciate the more natural tones they gave Soma this season. No more highly saturated purple hair/yellow eyes and skin!)
Yes, Kuroshitsuji is a fantasy story, and YES artists of color like to play with fantasy features with characters, me included! But my point is that black/brown representation in media is so little already, character artists are also averse to drawing any defining racial features.
Yana has designed brown-skinned characters in the anime with straight white hair and light-colored eyes about three times now (ie. Agni, Angela, and Hannah). The only Indians with dark skin and hair are a bunch of homeless thugs that Soma and Agni stop from mugging Ciel, proving they're "one of the good ones", and Mina whose treatment in the manga/anime is abysmal.
Discussing Racism in Fandom
Alright, so over the past few days, I've seen some fans disappointed with Soma's skin tone change and I hope my post illustrates why they would be. But I've also seen some angry and frustrated reactions to those fans! And I want to ask, why?
Why is fans bringing up racism in anime considered "discourse" but reacting harshly towards those fans is not?
Why would fans expressing disappointment about whitewashing gets you more angry than the whitewashing itself?
Why is being disappointed that an anime lightened a character's skin tone, a character who both anime-only watchers and manga readers alike saw as dark-skinned, stupid to you?
How come the fandom gets a good laugh out of the usage of "fag" potentially canceling the anime, but talking about race is a "risk" to getting a new season?
And if you disagree with my points and believe the anime is only being accurate to Yana's work, why not just say "Soma's skintone is more accurate to Yana's color illustrations, but I understand the disappointment and shock," without being condescending towards us for being concerned in the first place?
I'd be pretty happy if the anime was just using intense lighting and that Soma is darker than he appears (in fact, if that happens I'll reblog the good news to this post!) Because this post isn't "discourse" to me, I'm discussing race regarding one of my favorite characters in the fandom. Discussions like these don't ruin the fandom, but actually help it become a more welcoming place for fans of color.
