The diary ask 👀👀👀👀 whos mostlikely to invade readers privacy?

Referring to this ask, I´m assuming

gn reader

tw yandere, invasion of privacy, obsession, possessiveness, jealousy, mention of stalking, implied murder in like one sentence?

Who would read your diary?

Anon, I´m sorry to tell you that quite a few of them would at least sneak a peek at your diary if they had the opportunity to. Some are more shameless about it while others feel guilty about invading your privacy like this, but the thought of being able to know about your innermost thoughts proves too tantalizing to resist.

How do you feel about your current situation at Ensemble Square? Are you happy? Confused? Scared?

Did you happen to write about your hobbies or your likes and dislikes? That could prove the be very useful information!

Is there anyone in particular you wrote a lot about that could prove to be a problem for them? If so, what do you like about this person that they can´t provide you? They need to know so they can form a proper plan to win your over and in turn defeat the competition.

People that would think similarily to this include : Eichi, Ibara, Rei, Keito, Shu ( he wants to know your preferences when it comes to outfits he intends to design for you. There´s also the underlying fear that someone else might take your attention); Rinne but he won´t keep it a secret and is moreso focused on the rivals part than anything else; Natsume( would also like to scope out the competition out of jealousy, when he feels like you´re slowly slipping away from him and into the grasp of someone else), same for Ritsu ( abandonment issues go brrrr); Nazuna looks at your diary with a lot of guilt, but he just needs to know if you´re in any type of danger. Is anyone making you uncomfortable or bullying you? You know that he´s always there for you if you need help but lately you haven´t been answering all of his countless asks about how you´re doing and who you´ve been with.... He feels horrible about doing this, he knows that he´s invading your privacy by doing this but he just can´t help it. He needs to be sure that you´re safe and if you´re not going to tell him on your own then he needs to check. Otherwise he will just have to stick to trailing after you wherever you go. Would then return your diary to you, making some excuse as to where he found it ( he didn´t look at it! You can trust someone as reliable as Nazuna to tell the truth, right?) because he doesn´t want anyone else to take a look at it. None of the others have the same pure intentions as him, they can´t be trusted with it!

People that look into your diary to see if you said anything about them in particular. They need to know how you feel about them, they want to be reassured that you love them and prefer them over everyone else: Tori ( he´s hoping and expecting that you will praise him as he deserves but when his feelings of inferiority break through he needs the confirmation that you still think of him highly); Tsukasa ( he swears up and down that he would never do something like that, it´s not the right thing to do! But when it´s sitting right there on your desk, completely unattended, the curiosity wins over and he wants to hear that you like him); Mayoi ( with a lot of shame.He doesn´t deserve to hold something you have written in but the fear that you might be disgusted by him is eating away at him and so he goes to check what you really think about him at night, when you´re asleep); Mika ( I think he would also fit in the first category because he definitely is a stalker and wants to know every little thing about you, including who you are close to so he can potentially get rid of them if they get too dangerous. But I put him here because I feel like Mika as a yandere is less about planning out these grand schemes and moreso just very focused on you and what opinion you may have on him. Everything else doesn´t really matter to him); HiMERU ( at first he refuses to, seeing it as something that is unbecoming of the type of idol HiMERU is supposed to be. He would leave it alone most of the time and only picks it up in a panic when he fears that you might know the truth about HiMERU and his true self. Suddenly he´s scared that you might see through his act and that you won´t like the true “him”)

People that are just super curious and want to know all they can about you. There´s not any particular reason as to why they want to spy on you, they just see the opportunity and take it : Leo, Hiyori ( I feel like he could also fit into the former category. He fears being hated and he especially doesn´t want to be hated by you); Hinata, Wataru, Subaru, Hiiro ( he may just not be aware that it´s actually your diary at first and picks it up after you left it somewhere. Takes a look at it out of curiosity)

I´m undecided in what category to put them but they would definitely still read your diary: Izumi ( do I even need to explain? of course he would, that obsessed little stalker), Arashi ( I feel like she´s confident enough that she thinks she can win you over on her own but she still strikes me as the type to check. It´s all okay if it´s in the name of love, right?); Tsumugi also would imo. I can´t really properly explain why though? I feel like he would see your diary and just look at it as if it was the most natural thing in the world? There´s no particular reason as to why, he just feels like doing it. As literally stated before in a different post, Anzu would also read your diary if she ever found it. She both wants to know if any of the units have been bothering you so she can assign them some more work to keep them busy, but she also desperately needs to know that you love her. She´s really desperate for your attention due to the special connection you have. I mean at this point this is already 100% established canon skdns

The rest either wouldn´t look at your diary or I didn´t really know what to say about them or where exactly to place them. I think I´ve already typed more than enough here djnflfn

Please feel free to share your own thoughts on characters I haven´t mentioned or what you think about my placements or reasonings! ^^

Altered - Heaven and Hell 24

Author: Akira

Characters: Tsumugi, Rei

Translator: Mika Enstars

"…I’m sick of “you guys”."

⚠️ This is an import from a unproofed Twitter Livetweet!

Season: Winter

Location: Yumenosaki Academy Library

Content Warning: Contains references to suicide.

Rei: Lemme ask you, actually. Why should I have to do something?

Tsumugi: Why, huh—

Rei: Just ‘cuz I could’ve? ‘Cuz I’m the Superstar Sakuma Rei-chan who could’ve? ‘Cuz I could’ve, I should’ve?

My will, my wishes, my heart isn’t bein’ taken into account.

Why is everyone always trying to make me do everything?

So, I was sick of it, honestly.

Even Keito, who’s always proddin’ at me, begged me. “I’m begging you, please do it. As long as it’s you, it can be done.”

When I looked into that guy’s eyes as be begged at me so, I hated fuckin’ everything.

…I’m sick of “you guys”.

Tsumugi: Rei-kun…

Rei: Ah, I get it already. I’m actin’ like a child. People have positions in society, and they gotta play the role they are expected to play, even out of obligation.

But you know what? I was still just a kid, I couldn’t take that.

Even I was a kid, too, y’know. That was why I sang rock music.

It made me feel a lil’ better, but it didn’t save my soul.

I’m not pure like that “Lil’ Puppy”. I don’t actually love rock music. I was just consumin’ rock as a distraction, just as everyone else consumed me.

But, thanks to that Keito comin’ in there and strikin’ me, that underground live house is no longer a place where I can distract myself.

Every time I’m there, I get irritated, only bein’ able to think of things I hate.

I’ve lost my safe haven.

And I no longer have energy to search for a new one.

Tsumugi: … …

So that’s why you chose to overlook us.

Even though we were trying to subdue you.

Rei: Puttin an end to my borin’ life was the best thing I could’ve asked for. I wished more than anyone for Sakuma Rei of the Five Eccentrics to be subjugated.

For that guy to be trampled and ground into dust, and erased from this world as soon as possible.

That was how I felt at that time.

And so, I overlooked you guys. You probably didn’t realize it, but I even supported ya from behind the scenes.

How come the Yumenosaki administration chose to overlook the student’s steadily growing power?

Did they leave the student council to bend the school’s very rules simply out of incompetency?

Who knows, really. Maybe they got a push from a certain someone who happened to be well-liked by adults.

You guys were busy buildin’ the cross on which you would eventually be crucified upon.

Tsumugi: You had become desperate and wanted to kill yourself.

You must’ve been in so much despair, Rei-kun.

I’m sorry. It was you who saved me, yet I never realized your real intentions.

Rei: Don’t apologize, I had also been maskin’ that depression I had to keep it hidden.

Ahh, I’ve always been bound by my very own character. As everyone’s favorite superstar, Sakuma Rei-chan.

So, I’m tossin’ “that guy” out, and lookin’ for a new character.

And, besides. I feel like it’s my fault for bein’ so desperate back then. I’m like, “Are ya kiddin’ me, are you an idiot?”

If it had been just me, that’d be fine. I didn’t care what cruelty I faced, ‘cuz it’s what I wanted. But truthfully, I’d always felt alone back then, even when there were lots of people surrounding me.

And so, I had only been thinkin’ of myself. Like some grandpa, I’d figured to prep my grave while I’m alive or whatever. Like the selfish person I was.

But, there were people other than me who were gonna be put within that grave.

At that time I never imagined that I would love them so much.

I never thought I’d have a friend who was equal to me.

Tsumugi: The Five Eccentrics, right?

Rei: Yup, the friends you guys gave me. No sarcasm intended. It was you who brought us together, where we then found each other.

Five people, who otherwise would have been alone, were able to find those the same as themselves in this wide world.

It was a miracle.

But, that is where I’m troubled. I regret it now. I shouldn’t have acted so prematurely, I shouldn’t have overlooked you guys out of despair.

Tsumugi. Just as you said, I could have stopped you guys.

But, I didn’t stop you guys. Because I had abandoned myself out of desperation.

I thought I had lost everything. I didn’t believe it would be possible for me to gain somethin’ new and precious again… I never believed it’d be through them.

I hadn’t even considered the possibility at the time.

That is my failure, my sin.

My greatest mistake.

I honestly wish I could punch myself from back then in the face. Tell him, “what’re ya doin’ givin’ everythin’ up, givin’ into your despair like that!?”

But, well, you guys already beat me up, so why bother goin’ out of the way to beat myself up too?

When I try to hurt myself like that, I’d just sadden others more than I hurt myself.

Tsumugi: Then, why—

If you realized your mistake, why didn’t you act? You could have turned it around from any situation.

Eichi-kun was in so much of a hurry, I doubt he would have been able to respond in time.

Even at the final performance, you could have won if you moved with all your might, and ignoring all the plot points up until that point you could have been victorious—It should have been possible!

And yet, even then, you didn’t do anything.

Rei: You don’t know why, Tsumugi?

Nah, you should know the reason by now.

While you’re now able to empathize with a story to the point of shedding tears…

I empathized with the author and protagonist of the story.

He had just looked so happy at long last, how could I ruin a moment like that?

Ring.A.Bell Chapter 13

Time: (On the day of the PV shooting.)

Arashi: Well? Do you think this'll work for the shooting, Anzu-chan?

Wonderful. In that case, all my hard work won't go to waste!

Mao: They must use your methods in Hell, Arashi... You're a real Spartan.

Arashi: But it's thanks to that that you'll be able to give the best proposal possible. ♪

Of course, there's still plenty of room for improvement — in fact, if I had the time, I would've pushed you muuuuch farther.

Midori: Eeh~... It’s already a lot…

Anzu-san, sorry for having caused such a ruckus because of my misunderstanding.

Mao: Yeah, I... caused a pretty big fuss too, so I'm sorry.

Oh? You didn’t mind it much? I’m glad…♪

Eh? You have so much work to do you don’t have the time to give for such worries?

Mao: Ahaha, that's so like you. Alrighty then! Go ahead and look after us idols as much as you'd like, Anzu.

Midori: Hm? It looks like the shooting will start in a bit. Then, we’ll be off.

Mao: Guess I'll get going too, then. We'll be givin' it our best shot, so don't look away from us for even a second, alright~? Producer. ♪

Eichi: Hey, won't you say my name like you always do?

Your voice is more soothing than any music I’ve ever heard, as if an angel itself had come to greet me.

Not a single person in all the world knows if the road ahead will be a happy one or not...

However, so long as you call out for me, I can live a blissful life.

Ah, truly... I truly do need you in my life to be happy.

I'm glad you feel the same.

Thank you for always being by my side.

And now, I can return that sentiment. I vow to remain at your side, until the day death sees fit to part us.

Keito: …Don’t expect a rose coloured marria—Ehem. Sorry. I spoke in a harsh manner by habit.

But you understand who I am, moreso, you accept me for who I am.

That kind side of you delights me.

I wish to convey my feelings more honestly, but… But with my personality, it might be a little hard.

However, it would be a bit unfair if I’d be the only one receiving this kindness.

That’s why I’ll take whatever measures are needed to properly convey these feelings.

It’s my vow to you—As we’ll be sharing the joys and sorrows of life together from now on.

Thank you for always supporting me.

To fulfill our dreams together that cannot be fulfilled alone—

Let’s take one step at a time together… I love you.

Leo: I love you, I love you, I loooooove you! I really, truly love you!

... Just kidding. ♪

I've got a world’s worth of love in my heart, but y'know what? It’s still no good. It’s not even close to the amount you deserve.

When I'm with you, I'm so happy I could burst!

... But at the same time, I’ve learned what it’s like to feel lonely too.

This pain I feel when we're apart, the yearning that joins hands with it... I never would've felt these if I hadn't met you!

But weirdly enough, I don't mind 'em at all!

You wanna know why? 'Cause because of you, of what I feel for you, the sound of "love" has only become more and more harmonious. As if I was playing with a completed piano, with every white and black key present!

That's why... no matter how many quarrels we have, or if there's ever a time that our differences might feel like burdens on our minds... Will you sing with me?

I'd wanna, because my songs are ever-flowing with my love for you.

From now until forever, l wanna pen my notes next to yours on this music sheet of life—and compose the longest love song this world has ever heard!

If it's with you... I know we can do it.

Mao: (Damn, I'd expect nothing less from our seniors! They're really amazing...

No matter how hard it is to say, I've gotta stay strong! I've gotta do my best too...!)

Since meeting you, I've found happiness around every corner...

I think if I hadn't... then I never would've noticed just how much joy there was right under my nose.

I really wish I could've said something cool, like "Just follow me!"...

... But instead, you were the one who led me. As hard as it is for me to admit that now.

That's why... That's why, I want to walk with you, hand in hand.

Side by side. Step by step. Let's go together.

That way... Even if we're apart, we'll still be connected to each other—y'know?

If we lose sight of one another, we'll always know where the other's at. So let's walk the same path together, from now until forever.

So... Um... What I mean is...

... I love you.

So please! Let's spend the rest of our lives together!

Midori: Umm… Since the day I met you and… you took my hand…

The pain and worries in my chest slowly started to fade away.

Everything around me began to bloom in colour.

I didn’t understand why it felt like things were slowly changing as the days went by… But now, I think I finally know the reason.

I liked today, more than yesterday—and tomorrow, more than today… All of that is because you provided me with “love”, little by little…

We laughed together on happy days, cried together on sad days. We worried together on hard days and held hands together on joyful days.

Through that, you slowly bestowed me with “love”…

That’s why, I was able to like myself a little, too.

I still… don’t know much about love or whatever… But, it feels right to call this feeling in my chest that.

I've always given up on everything, but for the first time in my life… I don’t want to abandon something; I don’t want to let go of you.

Umm… Could you… stay by my side like this forever?

I’m still far away from being reliable, and I’m still pretty pitiful but… I truly want to shower you with kindness.

I will always love you.

(Oh… My brother must’ve, also…)

Mao Leo Eichi and Arashi tl: Peace

Midori and Keito tl: me

Flashback | BIOHAZARD 7

Writer: Akira (日日日)

Characters: Kaoru, Koga, Keito

Kaoru: (There we go. You look like a dummy with no thoughts in that head of yours, but you catch on quick, don't you?) Koga: (Yeah, cause I'm always hangin' around with a certain someone who makes no fuckin' sense. My brain's gotten a bit a' trainin'.)

[ For the best viewing experience, please read directly on my blog! ♪ ]

Time: One hour later.

Location: At the underground live house located in the downtown area near Yumenosaki.

Kaoru: Welcome~♪

Koga: ......

Kaoru: Oh? You're like, totally one of our regulars. You came back again, huh? I know I probably shouldn't be saying this since I'm the one in charge of sales and all, but if you keep coming to shady places like this, your parents are gonna worry about you, y'know~? Well, I don't really care one way or the other. I mean, your actions are your own responsibility, so don't sue the store if anything goes wrong, 'kay?

Koga: Shut up, quit talkin' to me like we're friends. You're just some guy who works here.

Keito: Are you acquainted with Hakaze, Oogami?

Koga: Hakaze? Nope, I didn't even know his name. You friends with him or somethin', Hasumi-senpai?

Keito: We aren't friends, but we are in the same class. This guy's infamous for skipping school, so every time I see him, I end up preaching at him to come to school.

Kaoru: Ack, Glasses-kun is here too!

Keito: You ought to at least know my name by now.

Kaoru: Sorry~ I'm not interested in men's names, so I don't bother remembering them~♪ More importantly, I totally get it now… I was like, this is a really weird pair to be hanging out together, but you two were part of that group that performed the other day, right? Which means you're Sakuma-san's friends. So, he must be the one who called you two out here today.

Keito: …We aren't really friends or anything like that.

Koga: Ehh~? We're friends on paper at least, aren't we? Cause we're DEADMANZ~♪

Koga: (GAAAAAAAH! THIS IS SO ANNOYING~! I wanna retort so bad, but I can't open my mouth of my own volition! This is so damn stressful!)

Kaoru: (H-Heeey~! Koga-kun? Guess you can't hear me after all, huh?)

Koga: (Woah? Is that you, Hakaze-senpai? Where are ya?)

Kaoru: (What do you mean, where? I'm like, right here y'know… Wait, that was you just now, right, Koga-kun?)

Koga: (Duh, who else?)

Kaoru: Haha. There's a lot of people here, so why don't we go talk in the back? The client this time around is me, or rather, this underground live house I run. I've got a liiittle problem that I need you, DEADMANZ, to solve for me—

Koga: (Hey! Can ya not hear me after all? Why the hell are ya ignorin' me to go on about that shit?!)

Kaoru: (...Ohhh~ So that's how it is.) (Koga-kun, Koga-kun, calm down. I think I've more or less figured out what's going on.)

Koga: (Hah?)

Kaoru: (We're like, totally ghosts right now.)

Koga: (Ghosts? I don't remember dyin,' but— Oh wait, I get it.)

Kaoru: (There we go. You look like a dummy with no thoughts in that head of yours, but you catch on quick, don't you?)

Koga: (Yeah, cause I'm always hangin' around with a certain someone who makes no fuckin' sense. My brain's gotten a bit a' trainin'.)

Kaoru: (I see, that makes sense ♪)

Koga: (Long story short, we're all dreamin' cause a' that somethin'-or-other experiment, yeah?) (And inside that dream, we're relivin' the past. But for some reason, we're still conscious.)

Kaoru: (It's like lucid dreaming, I guess. And for some reason, we can communicate with each other too.) (It seems like we can't interfere with the dream — or rather, our memories — but we can still chat while watching from the sidelines.) (That's why I described us as "ghosts.")

Koga: (Hmph, I s'pose it's a good way to put it.) (Ghosts— the dead can't interfere with reality, after all.) (We've really become dead men. What kinda shitty irony is that?)

Kaoru: (Well, I'm actually starting to enjoy myself a bit now that I'm thinking of it as a rare opportunity to experience something unusual.)

Koga: (Just how positive can ya get, ya happy-go-lucky asshole.)

Kaoru: (You only live once, so it'd be a waste not to enjoy it, right? ♪) (Though, well, who knows whether this'll be enjoyable or not...) (Hey hey, Koga-kun, am I misremembering how this happened?) (At the time, I wasn't really all that interested in the stuff happening around me, so I kinda took a back seat to everything. Is that why my memory of these events is off?)

Koga: (Hah? Whaddya mean?)

Kaoru: (Well, we're supposed to be reminiscing about the past… But I don't remember experiencing anything like this. I mean like, the general outline is more or less correct, but some of the details don't match up.)

Koga: (Hm? But I really did go to the underground live house with Hasumi-senpai and—) (Wait, yeah, I don't think we met up with ya directly when we came here. It wasn't until later that I found out you were the one runnin' the place.)

Kaoru: (Yup. It's a bunch of small stuff like that, but when you add it all up, it changes a lot, y'know.) (So like, just what is it that we're being shown right now…?)

Moonrise - Chapter 3

Translated by: @seisoukan

With thanks to my proofers: Vulpes

Season: Autumn

Time: The next day

Location: Dojo

KEITO: One, two, three, four…

(Alright. The movements for our performance have been precisely shaped.)

(The motion of the fan should have successfully presented an atmosphere of elegance as well. This is the part my traditional Japanese dance teacher praised me on, so I must focus on strengthening this merit of mine.)

(... However, there is still perplexion in my movements. It seems the events of yesterday are still bothering me.)

(What exactly was the reason FrankenMagistrate couldn’t be handed down the generations as a classic…?)

(After that meeting, I watched some past videos from RhythLink’s archive. The production standard of FrankenMagistrate is in no way worse than Vampire Shogun’s.)

(You could even go as far to say some parts of the production are better than that of Vampire Shogun. Even then, for some reason, it still became buried by the sands of time.)

(Was the reason really just because it was too incongruous as a work?)

(‘Decisiveness’— because it lacked that determination, it was then abandoned by later generations.)

(From the perspective of an outsider, are we too a group of incongruous, disparate idols?)

(Just like Dr. Frankenstein’s creations, constantly toeing the line between humans and monsters, unable to be accepted by anyone—)

(This sort of tragedy must be avoided.)

(The deadline to respond to RhythLink is fast approaching.)

(I must make my decision calmly.)

HIIRO: Hmm, how interesting.

KEITO: Mm. It’s Amagi— you, have you been watching me all this time?

Don’t just stand behind me in silence. You’ll frighten people if you appear all of a sudden like this.

HIIRO: Sorry, Hasumi-senpai. I didn’t realize I was staring so intently.

The dance you were just performing was a traditional Japanese dance, right? Although I don’t know much about it, I have seen AKATSUKI perform it before.

KEITO: That’s right. I was just performing a traditional Japanese dance.

It is said to be an offering to the gods from people of the past, a traditional artistry that combines mai[1], which represents religious significance; and odori[2], with movements to the rhythm of the music.

HIIRO: Haha, that’s what I thought. There are similar rituals of devotion in my hometown— I’ve heard that traditional Japanese dances are the same way, so it interested me.

KEITO: That’s true. It may be a sensibility universally rooted in the minds of people since ancient times.

I’ve read some old books on artistry and technique, which can be used as reference for shaping one’s own artistic ideas. If you have time, Amagi, you should give it a read.

HIIRO: Umu— I’ll read them.

As one would expect from Hasumi-senpai! You’ve also taught me much while holding the Keito Lecture circle. To have such a wealth of knowledge is very respectable!

KEITO: No, not really. I am still far from the extent of being able to teach others. Persistently studying every day remains an indispensable skill.

Since you’re so studious, I feel as though I have to strive to become better.

To possess knowledge is to possess choice. Guiding the members of Keito Lecture, headed by Amagi, allows me to feel the value of a challenge.

Speaking of, I had something to ask you, Amagi. Why did you come to ES’ dojo today?

School isn’t over yet, and it’s still early before the martial arts circle… SHIN typically practices here.

HIIRO: It isn’t an issue with SHIN, in fact. Rather, it’s a problem with the karate club.

Because of the preparations for the Halloween Party, we are unable to use the dojo at Yumenosaki Academy.

I couldn’t find a training venue, so I came here to take a look. Did I interrupt Hasumi-senpai in some way?

KEITO: Not at all. Not that it would be a bother…

I recall now. The Halloween Party planned by Anzu is an S1, correct? In order for the whole school to prepare together, your club activities were forcibly suspended.

However, to think that the scale of the Halloween Party is so large that you need to pause other activities is difficult for me to understand.

To my knowledge, the only activities with this level of authority are the usual events approved by the school’s administration.

HIIRO: Hm~ I don’t know much about last year’s situation, but Buchou seems to have accepted this decision.

KEITO: Nagumo accepted it…? If even he expressed no objection to the situation, does that mean this year’s suspension of club activities is already established protocol…?

HIIRO: That’s right. Buchou hates complying to unreasonable demands, so for someone with Buchou’s personality to accept it, I believe the school must have issued an official order.

KEITO: Mm. It’s unexpectedly hard to believe that the Halloween Party is being recognised to this extent… I wonder if there have been any changes compared to last year’s activities.

Thank you for sharing these recent happenings with me, Amagi. I’ve just completed my practice, so you may use this area as you wish.

HIIRO: Thank you, Hasumi-senpai.

However, there is one thing that concerns me. If this Halloween Party is different from last year’s, perhaps the discomfort I feel also originates from this point.

KEITO: A sense of discomfort… Has something happened?

HIIRO: About that, I feel as though Yumenosaki Academy is shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

Hopefully, it’s just a misperception on my part. Now that all the rooms in the school are occupied by people, the air seems to be permeated with an explosive, murderous ambience.

KEITO: What are you saying…?

Mai (舞) dances usually consist of circling movements to the melody of the music. The religious aspect may be referring to kagura, a Shinto ritual ceremonial dance said to be one of the oldest forms of traditional dance.

Odori (踊) dances usually consist of leaping movements to the rhythm of the music. During the late Meiji era, the two kanjis combined into the word buyo (舞踊), an all-encompassing word for all traditional Japanese dances.

Ushimairi P.1 | Chapter Four

Location: Shopping District

The next day

Keito: Alright. We completed the shopping list. I think we have all the tools we need.

Tomoya: We were able to buy almost everything at the hardware store. Because of a good deal on products, we even saved money!

Now all we need is Sakuma-senpai's script, and we can start filming.

Keito: While I know that I left it in his hands, I wonder if he really will get it right. He did claim to have an understanding of fake documentaries and the like.

However, we haven't been shown the script yet. We've already made these purchases, but I can't help but fear that Sakuma is going to hand us some bafflingly strange script.

Tomoya: W-well, it should be fine, right~?

While he usually acts really detached from things, Sakuma-senpai is serious about his work, isn't he?

And Kiryuu-senpai is working as his assistant, so I don't see why there would be anything too weird…?

Keito: But there's foresight to be practiced when you work with someone you’re acquainted with. Really, it's annoying how people like Sakuma and Eichi just have no consideration for me.

Rei: Thank you so much for your patience. The script is ready at long last ♪

Kiryuu-kun, I'm not fully covered by the parasol. Bring it closer.

Kuro: Author's gotta lotta orders. I’m gettin’ used to being pushed around thanks to it, though.

Tomoya: Ah, speak of the devil… good work you two!

Rei: Kukuku. You've been gossiping about us, haven't you. What naughty boys ♪

Tomoya: I-it's not really gossiping, right? We were wondering when you'd be here, and what kind of script you were writing…!

Kuro: I see. Sorry to keep ya waitin'.

It was finished by dawn, but Sakuma was down as soon as the sun rose. ‘Cause of that it took longer than expected.

Tomoya: It's amazing that you were able to finish it overnight! It’s not often you hear that a script was done in one night!

Keito: Well, let’s see what this is all about then. I would hope you didn’t try any funny business, but I’m still worried you’ll have us do something unreasonable all the same.

Rei: There’s no need to fret. I don’t intend to burden you at every twist and turn.

For you see, I asked Kiryuu-kun to do his best to take part ♪

Keito: What. Is that true, Kiryuu?

You. just what are you putting Kiryuu through? Depending on your answer, I might just have to lecture you.

Rei: Well excuse you. You'll find that I'm a bundle of morality compared to Tenshouin-kun.

And besides, if you gave the script a proper look through, I'm sure you'd see why Kiryuu has approved.

Kuro: Yup. I'm gonna play the Oxman, is all.

Keito: Hm…?

Kuro: You saw the masks on the shoppin' list, yeah? I'm gonna turn one into somethin' that'll look like the Oxman and wear it.

So, rather than actin' as myself, I thought it should be left to Danna n' Mashiro since yall are in dramatica. Yanno, just fittin' the right people in the right places♪

Keito: A-ah… if Kiryuu says there's no issue, then I have no qualms with this.

Rei: And yet you remain anxious. Regardless of the misfortune we've faced up to now—If you fill your heart with suspicion, then within each shadow you will also find a demon. You will bring about your own undoing.

Be at ease; find solace in our goals being one and the same. Maybe I would have gone about this differently were it a comedy variety show, but this isn’t one. Have faith that I won't make a jab at my peers.

Keito: So variety shows are a different matter… hm. So I should be watching my back from now on?

Rei: Yes. …Hm? It seems I’ve let something slip I didn’t intend to.

Kuro: Haha, that’s just what Hasumi-danna's like. Worry always gets the best of ‘im.

The original plan is dead an' gone. Ain't it a miracle we were able to come up with a plan to save our asses?

Keito: Of course I can grasp that. However, Sakuma has toyed with me countless times. This habit of mine is a conditioned result of his repeated behavior.

More importantly, we have the script, so let’s get to filming. From the looks of it, we just need to follow the script and film it, right?

Rei: Right. We may need to adjust the conclusion some more, but following the script would indeed suffice.

Let's start with Mashiro-kun. Ask the old man over there for his permission to record, then ask him about "The Legend of the Oxman".

Tomoya: Ah, okay. Got it.

Uhh. Excuse me. I'm recording for a TV show...

Yes. I heard that there's this Legend of the Oxman. Do you know anything about it?

You don't? Ah, that's alright. Thank you for your time…

Rei: Good. You have completed your task successfully ♪ Impressive, impressive ♪

Keito: Oh, stop it. This makes no sense. Why did he have to go ask locals about the “Legend of the Oxman” when it doesn’t exist?

Rei: Now now, there’s no need to get hasty on me. Perhaps if you read the script, you’d actually understand.

Keito: Hm…?

Tomoya: Oh, I get it now! Right after this, there's a message saying that the mystery of the "Oxman" is intensifying!

After that, someone familiar with the Oxman shows up. But he's actually just an extra...

Keito: I don’t care how you look at it, this is overly staged. Isn't this too much even for a fake documentary?

Rei: From time immemorial, humans have demanded thrill and romance.

Their desire from a horror film is a fear which cannot be experienced within their daily lives. Therefore, we must sufficiently frighten our viewers, even if it means disregarding the truth.

Oh, and if your complaint is how staged this is, our “Oxman” doesn’t exist to begin with. The form of dramatization we are using is common in the television industry, is it not?

Keito: Hmmm… It just seems like a hit or miss thing to do, but...

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If our job is to scare people, I guess I have no choice.

Kuro: 'S right. Let's show 'em what we're made of with the Legend of the Oxman ♪

[Aoi Asahina, Sonia Nevermind, Chiaki Nanami, Rantarou Amami, Ibuki Mioda] x reader imagine: comforting an insecure guitarist s/o after their band plays live

Request: Oh my god, are DR blogs coming back again?? This is the third new one I've found this month!! Really happy about that. Great writing so far by the way! Could you maybe do Asahina, Sonia, Chiaki, Rantaro, and Ibuki (separate) comforting an insecure, guitarist S/O after they just performed a live show with their band? And like, the S/O is really worried that they sucked even though they did well? Oddly specific, I know. Would appreciate it though! Cheers!

OMG I NERDED OUT AND HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH CHIAKI’S, POINTS TO THE FANS WHO GET THE REFERENCE, though it’s an easy one Nishishi~

Thank you for this imagine request and being so specific about what you want while still giving me a lot of creative freedom! I immediately had some simple but cute ideas about this! - Mod Kokichi

Gender Neutral reader, a few brief lewd humorous lines, but SFW otherwise.

Aoi Asahina

- You were nervous, pre-show jitters shuddering through your body, but you couldn’t back out now.

- Not when your super hot, super excited, super supportive girlfriend had hyped you up just before the show.

- “Stage fright?! How’d you even get into a band in the first place with that mentality?!” Hina teased you backstage, mere moments before going on out to preform. She saw you chuckle nervously, not taking her joke as well as she’d hoped.

- She took your hand firmly. “Look, you know that face you love, the one I make when I’m thinking about pastries?” She continued.

- “The one that makes you look like a chipmunk?” You answered flatly.

- “I don’t agree, but yes! That one! When you’re scared up there, imagine me doing that face! Or better yet, I’ll be front row, in the V.I.P. standing section anyway. Just look for me there!” With a peck on your cheek, she gave you a determined look before pushing you toward the stage and disappearing.

- “H-hina!” You stuttered, but it couldn’t be helped, it was time.

- To your surprise, the nervousness went away as your band was about half way through the first song.

1. The attention is mainly on the lead singer.

2. You were focusing on playing too much to fully take in the screaming crowd.

3. You were actually enjoying yourself.

- As the first song ended, however, the music fading out and the crowd going wild, you felt that little pinch of panic settle back in. There was no music to focus on and protect you, just a hundred faces to look out upon.

- Your eyes darted back and forth over the audience, searching. Your breathing came out a little heavier, until your eyes landed on a lean, curvy, athletic figure, with tanned skin and a smile sweet like honey...no, like doughnuts

- She put her hands up near her face like paws, closing her eyes in an open-mouth smile. You smirked, nodding and strumming your strings once again.

- At the end of the show, fans flooded to the hallway that connected the venue’s main hall to the dressing rooms backstage, reaching out to try and grab band members, hoping to take how an autograph or lock of hair as a souvenir, and you rushed through, sweating and ultimately disappointed with the overall performance you put on that night.

- Hina was already waiting in your temporary dressing room for the night, standing and throwing her arms around your neck before praising you endlessly.

- “S/O, that was amazing! That third song, I felt like the bass shook the place! It was intense, like the final lap in a freestyle race, you know?! We gotta bring Sakura next time. I think she’d really get into the pull of the steady rhythm!” Her little dramatic expressions, her brow knitted together passionately as she spoke...she reminded you every day why you fell in love with her.

- “You...you really liked it? I thought I was kinda just going down further and further in quality as the show went on. I felt like shit by the end…”

- “Are you kidding me! It was fantastic. I think the whole audience was immersed. I know I was! Hey...you better not have all these groupies flocking you looking for a piece tonight!” She teased, hugging your arm!

Sonia Nevermind

- Sonia was extremely excited to go to a public concert. Anything that brought her closer to commoners, to feeling like she belonged around ordinary people was just swell to her.

- Even better that it was in a country foreign to her, where she could be immersed in the cultural norms and behaviors.

- Even better that she was watching the one she loved play.

- She was afraid that you’d judge her when she first admitted her love for the occult, horror, and all things gothic and metal.

- You thought that was pretty hot.

- So there she stood, in the front row of your concert, in a poofy green dress with expensive jewelry and accessories decorating her frame. She stuck out like a sore thumb, but Sonia, blissfully unaware, felt like one of the normal people.

- She jumped when the crowd did, her fist in the air, entranced by each note that came from your instrument.

- Sweaty metal-heads and ravers bumped into her endlessly in the tightly packed crowd, and she couldn’t care less.

- You looked amazing up on stage, and she felt like she was a part of some fan fiction she read once.

- You know the trope, where the reader is in the crowd at a famous band’s concert reluctantly, and her favorite member locks eyes with her and either pulls her on stage with them or takes her backstage after the show and ravished her!

- And she felt her love for you and your musical talent swell within her heart.

- After the concert, she met you outside the back door of the venue, and you were shocked silent at her appearance.

- “S-Sonia are you okay??” The tights under her dress were ripped, her bracelet missing some jewels, the bow tie falling out of her blonde locks, which by the way looked like a rat’s nest. Topping the look off were the pit stains under her arms and in the valley of her cleavage.

- “I’m sorry. I knew this would be a shitty experience. I shouldn’t have brought you. The music was bad anyway, huh? I shouldn’t practiced more.” You looked down in shame, before she nearly tackled you, her arms around your neck and kissing you everywhere, up and down your face and neck and chest.

- “D-do not say these things! Tonight was the b-best night of my life!!!” she sputtered, too excited to enunciate. “You looked like a hero in this J-Drama I watched years ago! Like the protagonist Sawayama Keito!! And I??? I was your romantic love interest, the plain Jane in the crowd, Ito Aiyaka!”

- “You really enjoyed it that much?” You could smell the body odor and adrenaline pouring off of her, very un-princess-like, but you couldn’t care less, grinning like a fool.

- “I love you, Sonia, you crazy kid.”

- “Play for me again tonight, in the dorm room…” she spoke desperately.

Chiaki Nanami

- Chiaki did not want to be in that crowd that night.

- A short, skinny, lazy, introverted girl at a live concert full of rabid fans and no seats? Standing room only?

- She briefly mentioned this to you days before the show, not wanting to hurt your feelings. It was something mentioned in passing, in her normal flat and tired tone.

- “I hope I don’t get stepped on...maybe I can bring my Gameboy and play when things get too wild?” She mused, leaning back on you as you prepared to start practicing on the edge of the bed next to her.

- You loved Chiaki, and you knew how to take her hints by now.

- “Chi, you don’t have to go if you don’t want to. I know crowds aren’t your thing.”

- “No, I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” she smiled that lazy, half-lidded smile. She loved you too, and she wasn’t about to be the only one on campus not there to support you. She yawned and took your guitar from your hands before falling asleep on your lap.

- You thought the gesture was cute, but inside you were a bit irritated. You’d told her many times prior to that night that you needed all the practice you could get, and that you were afraid of bombing. So why would she purposely stop you in the middle of practicing?

- Oh well. You leaned back, memorizing chords and lyrics in your head until you, too, passed out

- The night of the concert, Chiaki stood in the front row, her backpack strapped to her front, oddly snug on her chest and obviously on backwards, but it was easier to access her Gameboy and fidget toys in case she needed to retreat from the overwhelming noise.

- She told herself they were just for emergencies. She was there for you, and frowned thinking about how you’d feel if you looked down off the stage and saw her not paying attention.

- People piled in, and soon your band came on stage. The lead singer introducing you all.

- Chiaki was already feeling like the ceiling was lowering, like the people around her were far too close, and looked down, hoping seeing just the dark venue floor and her shoes would calm her, one hand on her backpack for security.

- “Oh!” She gasped, her little bangs flying up and her eyes widening like saucers as the lead singer sang the first notes. Three notes, that’s all it took.

- “Aha~aha ah ah...ha~uh huh huh…” the lead singer breathily voiced into the microphone, and Chiaki smiled wider than she had in months.

- You met her eyes on stage knowingly, smirking at first, then suddenly anxious that you might slip up or disappoint her. You strummed two loud, vibrating notes, stern and piercing through the air.

- Again the same two notes, before you joined the singer by the microphone, inhaling before singing in harmony:

- “In you~ and I, there’s a new land~ yeah~he heah!”

- She relaxed, tilting her head back as the sound waves overtook her.

- “Angels in flight~”

- “My sanctuary. My sanctuary, yeah~”

- You didn’t tell her you’d be doing covers that night. Video game covers, nonetheless. Her head shot up, looking at her phone quickly. She looked at the date.

- February 14th.

- Man, she spaced out often…but this…

- She blushed furiously, and her eyes locked with yours. You grew nervous, playing even harder. She swooned and let herself get lost in the bass.

- You played iconic video game themes all night, and by the end, Chiaki was more overwhelmed and exhausted then she’d ever been, but in a good way.

- When you walked into your dressing room back stage with flowers you had hidden earlier, she accepted them with a flush of her cheeks.

- “You didn’t need to do all that...s/o...this was…”

- “Y-you didn’t like it? I was nervous for a month planning this gig. I know I’ve still got a ways to go with playing live but-“

- “I loved it.”

- “What?” You weren’t convinced.

- “I loved it. Every second. I’m sorry I didn’t get you a gift, I didn’t even realize.”

- “Gifts don’t mean anything to me, Chi. You’re all I need.” you pulled her into your chest for a tight embrace. “You’re My Sanctuary.”

Rantarou Amami

- Rantarou was so excited about seeing your debut concert, snatching the tickets as soon as you presented them to him.

- “Can I bring along my sisters, too, S/O? They’ve been wanting to hear you play ever since I first mentioned that you were in a band.

- “Of course, but...I don’t know why they’d wanna all waste a Saturday night on my shitty band. We don’t even play that well ye-“

- “Silence!” He picked you up by your waist and squeezed you until you couldn’t breath, much less put yourself down with a self deprecating jab. He kissed your cheek playfully. “You’re sexy and the way you play guitar is sexy. I listened you practice all night the other day!”

- “Y-you did? I didn’t even see you!”

- “Huh...” he scoffed, “ maybe because you were lost in your passion, becasue news flash, you’re good at it, stinker!” He pinched your cheek, always knowing how to make you flustered. “Yeah, I heard every single note, and even peaked in once or twice, seeing you stroke those strings so tenderly…” He forced you against the wall, his hot breath against your ear “ I wish you’d stroke me like that.” You face ran hot and you roughly shoved him away, him giggling like a fool.

- “Okay, okay you win, Amami, bring whoever you want!” You stomped off with a huff.

- The day of the concert, the entire front row looked like a field of spring grass, the large family of green-haired siblings shouting before you even began your first song. You shook your head at Rantarou and his many sisters, half-embarrassed, half-flattered. You felt your hands stumble across the strings, Rantarou giving you a thumbs up and a wink.

- After the show, you couldn’t run off the stage any faster. You ran into the staff room backstage where refreshments and spare equipment were usually set out, and were greeted by a row of Amami’s swarming you and praising you, talking much too quickly and all at once.

- Rantarou simply let his sisters flock you, asking you to teach them to play, to help them meet hot musicians you knew, to learn to read music. You felt your ego rise, flustered once again at the hand’s an an Amami.

Ibuki Mioda

- Ibuki shouted to the band backstage, tuning her guitar and hyping up the other members. She noticed you a little out of place, looking a quite queasy and apprehensive.

- “S/O! The hell are you doin’ over there! Hudddddddle up!” She pulled you by your shoulders.

- “I don’t know why I let you force me into joining the music club...I shouldn’t have mentioned my interest at all…” you grumbled.

- Months ago, Ibuki had heard you, her darling and adorable s/o mentioning that you played guitar in elementary school, and wanted to listen in on her band once practice one in awhile. Well, that was the end of that. She decided it was time to freshen up your skills and get you comfortable with the strings again. Now here you were, moments from your first live performance since you were 10 years old.

- “Whaaat! That’s like, a major no no, that low energy, ya dig?!” She held your hand, swinging it back and forth with a feral look on her face. “You’re bitchin’! And Ibuki is bitchin’! And tonight we’re gonna set the stage on fire!”

- The show went on as planned, you and Ibuki on guitar while she screamed into the front mic. Your drummer just barely cut through the vibrations of your combined sound waves, and you buckled down and reminded yourself that with Ibuki at your back, that stage was yours. That audience was yours.

- Plus...who was staring at you when Ibuki was up front, looking like that, acting like that. That passion, that intensity, it’s what drew you to her in the first place.

- The crowd roared viciously, opening up a mosh pit in front of your neon gothic goddess of a girlfriend, and you couldn’t have found her more attractive than you did right now, her arms swinging open, releasing the guitar and simply bellowing into the mic, commanding the hellish pit in front of her like one of the succubi from Gundham’s wild tall tales.

- You suddenly felt so unworthy of her in all her glory, simply providing the backup and harmonies.

- When the show ended, you and Ibuki equally carried each other back stage to the school’s stagehand room, leaning on each other’s sweaty bodies for support.

- “Sheesh, that was straight fire tonight, s/o, huh?! Immolation on the stage, in the fleeeesh!” She shredded an air guitar in front of her before collapsing on a folding chair. How did she still have any energy at all?! You scoffed incredulously. “ Ibuki was worried for a second there, but we pulled it off! I knew we’d be amazing!” Huh???

- “You were worried?” You quickly realized what she probably meant, “Oh...like nervous that I’d mess it up for us?” Her eyes widened, a shocked look on her face as her hands flew up to her hair.

-“What? No! Ibuki was worried about Ibuki~” She grimaced.

- “Why would you ever be nervous, you’re the best musician for miles around.” You drank from a water bottle before tossing it to her. She caught it in one hand, downing it.

- “Hey, Ibuki gets worried too~” She winked at you, a flirty glimmer in her eye as she held up a heart made from her connected hands. “But s/o is Ibuki’s rock! Partners in crime, yeah? No need to worry with you at my back tearing it up!”

Unspoken Words [Whumptober 2019 - Day 19: Broken Voice]

Summary: Five friends, their leader's missing voice, and the little signs that they all look out for each other.

Fandom: Ensemble Stars! Relationship: Trickstar boys and gal being friends

Wordcount: 1.146 words

Content Warnings: None.

Notes: Before I ramble: we're in search for characters for an Enstars Maze Runner AU RP server! Specifically, we're searching for people who could roleplay as Keito, Yuzuru and Eichi. If you're interested, or know someone who could be, please consider the offer or share it with your Enstars friendos! Here's the link to the doc explaining everything, in case you're interested!

"Hokuto lives a day like Celty Stardust: the fic" or something. Private jokes about animes I haven't really watched but can reference some stuff from aside, welcome back to "I show my personal biases and write about friendships I like: the chaotic prompt fill depository"! I really didn't see myself writing for "Asphyxiation", so I made something fluffy and kinda whumpy instead. What can I say, I really wanted to write some Trickstar goodness! I originally planned on making Hokke much more miserable with his little voice-stealing mysterious ailment, but decided against it anyway for some light-hearted banter. What can I say, a boy likes his sons and daughter being kind to each other. Not in the mood for angst, you could say, lol

Event hosted by @whumptober2019

“You can’t speak?!”

Akehoshi seemed surprised beyond his own mind as his eyes blinked furiously right in front of his nose. What, had it never happened to him? All things considered, Akehoshi seemed like the type of idiot who could never catch a cold, so that made sense, he supposed… Would have been less of a hassle if he wasn’t screaming that in the middle of the school, prompting the entire class to turn to their discussion. Nonetheless, he nodded as a reply, looking away. Something about being a leader…

“Ah, man, that sucks! I hope you’ll feel better soon, Hidaka. Sounds rough.”

Yuuki’s comment was far more considerate, his gaze full of concern and empathy. Well, not that he liked getting pitied, but the circumstances were playing against it. It didn’t help that both Akehoshi and he were making sad faces. He typed his reply on his phone.

Sorry for this, guys.

“No issue there, don’t apologize! We can still practice our choreographies, right?”

I suppose so.

“W-well, that’s only if you’re feeling well enough to it! You look kinda pale…”

“Ah, that’s right, you’re shinier than usual, Hokke!” (What did that mean? He didn’t know the connotation this carried, that was for sure).

I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.

“If you ever feel not up to it, please tell us, okay?”

Sure.

“Good morning guys!” Isara suddenly came into the picture, wide smile on this face, walking up to them from the neighbour room. By his side was their producer, just as smiling, waving her hand in their direction.

“Good morning!” Yuuki replied, perking up.

“Hi Producer, hi Sally! No student council work today?”

Stuck with his silence, all Hokuto could to was wave with his hand. God, that was so embarrassing…

“For once, I don’t! Not gonna lie, it does feel kinda weird…”

“That’s great!”

Isara chuckled.

“How are you, everyone?”

“I’m doing great!”

“Same here!”

Silence unfolded. Silence he should have been filling, but…

“What about you, Hokuto? You’re strangely silent today.”

He was about to type a reply on his phone yet again, but Akehoshi did the job instead.

“Ah, right! Hokke can’t speak today!”

Isara’s face instantly showed the colour of surprise, head bolting from the redhead to their leader.

“Wait, your voice’s broken or something?”

He nodded. No point bringing out his phone for that.

“I see. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask us, we’ll help you no issue. Right guys?”

The three others surrounding them nodded along. This was going to be tough, but with companions like them, it sounded less painful than it had when he had just discovered in what state his throat was.

Hokuto had a few observations to make about being the leader of an idol unit without a voice. None of them were any positive.

Singing was quite obviously out of the question, or else he’d have coughed until the end of times, so he instead playback-sang his own voice. That was pathetic at best, but it got the job done and the point across: the point was their stage occupation and choreography.

Breathing through his mouth itched. His throat was already sore from whatever he was infected with, the situation didn’t make it much better. The more they went, the more he pretended to sing, the more it hurt, to the point he hesitated between coughing every second or stopping breathing altogether. He picked the first, in the end.

Even moving around was awkward. He felt sluggish and, while that wasn’t linked to having lost his voice, it was somewhat related anyway. The day wasn’t good, but repeating the idea in his head over and over again as he tried recovering his breath wasn’t going to make things much better by the end of it.

“Guys, please stop for a moment,” Anzu interjected in the middle of their session, clapping her hands together. They stopped immediately.

“What’s wrong, Producer?” Akehoshi asked.

“Can I see you for a moment, Hokuto?” This felt like a sword of Damocles, about to fall upon him, but he nodded after finishing his coughing fit. “Subaru, Makoto, Mao, feel free to continue!”

“Roger,” Isara said as the three went back to their task.

Well, there was no point in disobeying her, so he did as he was asked.

They went to the next room, the music entirely muted by the walls, as she invited him to sit down at a table and poured him a cup of tea. Weird time to invite him to do so, but she must have known what she was doing, so whatever. Still, he had questions popping in his mind, so he got his phone out of his pocket and started typing again. He cleared his throat to catch her attention (she was focused on a couple of papers, and he immediately regretted asking his throat to put itself on fire again).

Why have you brought me here?

“Ah, right,” she giggled, “I forgot to explain myself, haven’t I?”

I don’t quite understand.

“You seemed tired, so I figured I’d help in some way. What about stopping for today?”

That sounds unreasonable.

“Hokuto… I don’t think your illness is going to go away this easily if you don’t rest a little.”

And was she wrong? Not really.

I’m still their leader.

“I know that, but I’m you guys’ producer. I can handle it just fine. Plus, it’s not like I’m asking you to go away, right? I’m just asking you to watch, I suppose…”

During a moment of silence, he figured he may as well eye the tea and discover why he had gotten served this in particular.

“That’s for your throat. Mao gave me a recipe to try, I hope it’ll work.”

Typical Isara, he figured. This man had tricks upon tricks down his sleeves. Still, he brought the cup to his mouth: it’d have been a shame to let this go to waste. It was just as sweet as he’d have expected a beverage filled to the core with honey to be like, but this was no problem as it was, in fact, a solution to the issue at hand.

Thank you.

“It’s nothing, really. Now, what about we go back to watch them?”

Let’s do that.

The moment they went back to their practice room was when he also realized the four of them had planned this all along. That was made obvious by the winks they exchanged, between themselves, between them and Anzu; and he tried, deep down, to find something to say against it, to get their routine working, to feel betrayed and fooled; yet nothing came to his mind but light-hearted gratitude. He, once again, typed his words on his phone’s keyboard.

Thank you, everyone.

For someone whose day was supposed to be filled with misery and silence, Hokuto sure was a happy and vocal fellow.

REPORT

Long story short: It was not worth the 12,000 yen I paid for an arena seat but it had some nice moments...

Let’s just get the crappy parts out of the way okay? BUT if you wanna skip it just CTRL F to ‘the few good parts’.

First, the massive mess up about the goods! If you didn’t hear, they announced about 3 days before the show starts that we would have to APPLY for a LOTTERY for a CHANCE to buy goods! And that the event venue and the goods venue were going to be at least 30 minutes apart (depending on your mode of transport). So we had people not hitting for the goods lottery meaning they couldn’t get any goods even though they might’ve been seeing it that day, so they were going without penlights, tshirts etc. So naturally people were pissed. It got worse when 8 minutes into the goods starting; penlights were sold out. And they were not going to get a new batch in until about 3 hours later. So again, people were losing their shit. There were people who could ONLY get goods at 10am because they were going to the afternoon show but within MINUTES one of the main wanted goods was sold out? Again, people lost their shit. It just got worse as the day went on... By the time the shows actually started, no one gave a shit about anything the official EnStage twitter had to say, everyone had lost their trust in the staff and company. Luckily, I had smooth sailing; I hit for goods, I got all my goods. But just imagining people who didn’t even HIT for the goods lottery but were going to the shows, just broke my heart. It made me just as angry as those who were being left out. OH and they did NOT prepare any trading area this time; why the fuck are you selling RANDOM and TRADING goods if you’re not going to provide a fucking trading area? Idiots...

The second mess up was, when the first show was about to begin, lots of tweets came out saying ‘there’s been a mistake in the seating plans, first row has NO seats, and they’re moving people’ well what a fuck up that is. How can you not have enough seats?! You know how big the room is, you know how many tickets you sold, you know how many people are coming; how did you fuck up the seating plan, not have enough seats and then have the audacity to MOVE a front row ticket holder to other parts of the room?! What the fuck. Again, I was lucky, I had a seat and there were no such problems at the night show I went to.

The next one is more to do with me personally. I am barely 159cm and I never wear heels to any events, even concerts, because I know how tiny some Japanese women can be and if one is behind me, I don’t want to be blocking them more than I should be. But because of this, I could not see the main stage AT ALL. The entire show I had to WATCH the screen even though I was to the left of the front stage. I could not see the main stage at all! So I was pissed! But also that meant that not only me, who paid 12,000 yen for an arena seat which should be one of the best seats, but others too weren’t able to see the stage. What’s the point paying 12,000 yen if I can’t see the whole fucking stage? GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK! I seriously think those in the stands and second floor had the best view for any of these performances. It was easy for them to see the stage, sitting or standing.

The next part, which is apparently my fault again, but apparently (no matter who I talk to) it’s ‘COMMON KNOWLEDGE’ that every stage/musical concert/live that you go to is lipsynced. Well I’m sorry but I DID NOT KNOW and they didn’t tell us it would be And if I HAD KNOWN, I wouldn’t have bothered paying for a ticket at all, let alone a 12,000 YEN SEAT(!). But apparently ‘everyone else knew it was going to be lipsynced’. WTF?! I realised straight away (during TRICKSTAR’S first song) that they were lipsyncing, so it wasn’t even GOOD lipsyncing! It really rubbed me the wrong way. Like A LOT. What did I pay 12000yen for? What did EVERYONE pay 9000+ yen for?! If you’re not going to PERFORM?! I did not pay a ridiculous amount of money to watch people LIPSYNC for 2 and a half hours. I paid that much money to be entertained, to be able to see everything, to enjoy myself, to hear the beautiful voices that people like Ikkei, Kandai, Kazuma and Yuzuki possess(!). To hear the booming voices of RenRen and Shohei who are SO damn loud, there’s no point giving them a mic - but again, because their voices were strangely the same volume as the melody when they were ‘singing’ was also obvious proof that they were lipsyncing -, to hear bad singers like TakaChan and KitaMu sing badly (because I fucking love hearing people live REGARDLESS of how shitty they are!). That’s what I want! I want a LIVE concert performance, and they gave me..... Higuchi barely trying to lipsync in time, for example ---- seriously he BARELY moved his mouth!!!!!

OH and they didn’t even sing ALL the songs. WTF?! You just play the group songs and... why?! Judge of Knights was such a success and you’re not even going to put in any battle or Knight Killers songs?! Oh please fuck off. I’m sorry but that is NOT a performance! That is 30+ people barely putting in any effort and getting paid for it. Oh I was SO PISSED for the entirety of the show when I figured it out STRAIGHT away. No wonder I sat down for most of the concert; I couldn’t see the main stage whether I stood or not, they were lipsyncing so I don’t really need to watch them, I can just listen to them like I’d listen to a CD because that’s what they fucking were anyway! Again, why did I pay 12,000 yen to listen to a CD recording of them?! what the fuck....

Yeah, I’m still going! At this point I might as well let it ALL OUT. But the audience sucked as well. The cast was trying to get us to ‘oi!’ and yell chants at some of the songs but EVERY TIME, as soon as the boys stopped yelling it out, the audience went quiet again and I’m like ‘FUCKERS CONTINUE!’ it was obvious we could still keep cheering along, they wanted us to continue. The audience fucking sucked. OH god and every time KNIGHTS came out..... FYI I fucking HATE KNIGHTS at this point. I fucking hate Ritsu with a passion and ALWAYS have <<< feels so nice to finally admit how much I can’t stand and have never stood Ritsu. But the audience volume change and the squeal change when KNIGHTS came on compared to the REST of the groups is just so fucking bias and I am so fucking over it. OH and another part that really pissed me off, Rei and Ritsu did the ‘15 minutes before the show rules announcement’ and it started with Ritsu yawning but apparently everyone in that room was dumb as fuck because I knew that was Maki straight away, but it wasn’t until he spoke an actual line that everyone else realised it was Ritsu and then everyone started to lose their shit and scream -______________- . It was obvious it was him. -____________- idiots.... <<< like I said, I might as well let it all out.

Also, fucking hate UnDead. Hate their songs too. You’re welcome to like them and everyone was super yelling and into their songs (the audience actually yelled and cheered during their songs which was nice) but ugh... just no for me.

New Yuzuru was so robotic whenever he spoke his lines. He didn’t really get a good reaction from the audience the night I watched. But he has time to improve, I think he’s a newbie anyway and he wasn’t on stage long enough to give people an impression really.

No Encore... seriously? No Greetings/Curtain Call... seriously? Ugh....

Sigh.... I think I’m done ranting.. let’s get to the few good parts...

The actual ensemble cast were a dream! The actual ensemble cast were so good and they were all so good looking! I spent MORE time watching them than I did with the actual cast. They were so much fun! Their dances were great, I loved how they tried to encourage the audience (but were obviously being ignored by everyone else) with claps and cheers constantly, they were good looking, they were just a great ensemble cast! I really, really liked all of them!

There was about 50% live singing when it came to the new FINE, Akatsuki and All Cast song. Knights Escort was 50% live too. But everything else was not. The two new group songs were good. BUT they were obvious goodbye songs and their lines before their songs were obviously scripted ‘graduation’ lines which just made me sigh. If it’s scripted then it just ruins their actual graduation if I’m going to be honest. Making them do the same ‘goodbye / graduation’ lines every show just ruins it. Okay, I’ll stop complaining now.... maybe...

There were so few interactions between people (as in groups mixing and interacting), it was just group song, after group song, after group song. BUT I did enjoy the few interactions that did happen; Ritsu running away from Rei, Ritsu falling asleep on Mao, Ra*bits hugging each other during their songs. But, looking at twitter reports, it was ALL scripted so again, it just cheapens it. BORING.

EVERYONE LOVES KNEW MITSURU! EVERYONE! When he first came out for his group songs, everyone was yelling ‘kawaii / cute’ and cheering for him and when it was his ‘singing’ parts, everyone gave him so much support! It was absolutely adorable and so great to watch. I’m glad everyone was already so ready and welcoming for him!

Rei messed up his line just before their first UnDead song and everyone died laughing and Kaoru started making fun of him and pointed it out ‘you messed up’ and Rei tried so hard just to ignore it xD

I really liked when it got emotional with FINE and Akatsuki towards the end, there was great (scripted) timing from Reo when he finished writing his song on the floor and popped up like ‘I DID IT!’ and it helped break that tension and sadness and brought laugher back to everyone, which was a nice touch.

Kandai made SUCH an effort even during the lipsyncing parts. You could tell he was actually singing even though his voice wasn’t going to come through the mic. You could tell in his neck movements and his throat and his neck veins were popping out. He really gave it his all even though he wasn’t going to be heard. But I appreciate how much effort he put into it regardless! He’s a star seriously. He looked the most legit out of everyone ‘performing’.

During the final song, Keito was near my side of the blocks and gave everyone attention as he ‘sang’ the end of one of the Shooting Star chorus’, everyone around him sucked it all in.

TakaChan took his moment to congratulate Ritsu on his birthday and Maki replied ‘oh you say it HERE?!’ and we all yelled happy birthday to him.

And I think that’s all. Like I said, NOT worth the amount of money I paid but I’m glad most other people seemed to enjoy it.

whomperslooth プロローグ (Prolog) Until yesterday I never heard of the word whomperslooth. Hi my name is rikku amino I am 14 and I live in japan, this is the story of me and my friends Chapter 1 : 凝視 (the Stare) It was around 6am and me and my gang of friends wanted to play outside, it was supposed to snow and me and my friends wanted to get see the snow, so I stopped my friend Sara’s (さら) house to get a tent and some cooking stuff so we can eat. “ So what are you guys doing?” she said with confussen “ what? Do you want to come help?” I don’t known but ever since I started going to school, I could always read people. From the smallest detail I could tell if you're parents are hitting you, you're getting bullied, or you have depression. “Yeah of course, is your friend coming?” “ Britt?” Britt (ブリット) is my best friend and we’ve been friends since kindergarten, but the fact that she asked that lets me read her for the day. “ so you want to known if Britt is coming?” I said getting ready for a surprise attack. “Yeah? Why you asking?” she said stopping to think of something in every word to make sure she doesn't let her pages spill from her mind. “So why do you want to know?” she turns away blushing. “WHY DO YOU CARE!?!” her screaming and blushing but somehow still saying it respectfully “You know why, do you have a crush on britt?” I asked as I look him in the eye. “No I don’t!” she says as she blushes. Than I give her a look that said. “Yes you do.” than she finally after what felt like an hour of a staring contest she said. “Yes!” then she turned around blushing and whispering. “I hate when you're right.” Chapter 2: 冷たいもの (what's Cold) “So do we have everything.” britt said After yawning. “Yeah that's everything, let's go to the spot.” winking a britt. “What’s the spot?” sara said questioningly. Than britt hit me in the arm and pulled me over to him. “Dude now we have to show her.” he whispered in my ear, but there was breathing on my neck like someone just ate a bag of hot chips. “What you guys doing huddled up?” “AHHHHH!?!?!” me and britt screamed at the same time, I turned to see my other friend mattea who was american. “Who hi mattea.” she slapped me in the face. “ I told you to call me matt.” with the coldest look after slapping me, and than britt said. “Okay are we ready?” I turned to him and said. “Yeah let's go to the spot.” after I said that me and the others started walking their, and I turned to sara and said. “So sara have anything to tell britt?” she looked at me and said blushing. “I don’t know what you're talking about.” still blushing and than smiled and said. “What about you and matt?” I turned to make sure that the others didn’t hear her. “It's complicated.” I said looking down at my feet. “Hey rikku where here stop walking?” I looked up to see we were here and started setting things up. Chapter 3: 少し白い (A little white) An hour later we got everything set up and I was making food. “ does everyone want ramon or something else?” I asked but everyone else was outside waiting for the snow, so I feel asleep and didn’t wake up for awhile until matt woke me up. “Is the food done yet?” I sprung up to see everyone eating it already. “I’m gonna to go take a walk be right back.” matt stood up and said. “I’m gonna go with you.” I said okay and we walked out together. “It’s strange some person that you met a year ago and you're already know me better than anyone.” she said as she was looking at the ground. “Ever since I started school I could read people really easy, that's how I knew that you hate this and that so it's really easy to make friends.” she was staring at me before she said what I knew she would say. “What about girlfriend?” I looked at her with a dark look, and said with a even darker tone. “I hate dating.” I realized how I said it and tried to change the subject really fast. “Sorry I didn’t mean to say it like that I meant that I don’t have the time to date and I’ve tried it once it didn’t work out.” she looked down and said with sadness. “Let’s go back.” I said okay and walked back with her. Chapter 4: 私があなたを愛する理由 (the reasons I love you) “So are we ready?” matt said after we got back from our walk, she was very sad after I turned her down. I feel warm when I look at her, matt has short hair that's a sea blue with white streaks in it, blue green eyes, and pale skin. She is pretty but I don’t want to date anyone. “Hey matt want to talk later?” she looked at me smiling. “Yeah sure.” she was getting some ramon in a boll and I followed and sara and britt after me. “ rikku can we talk?” I turned around and britt was walking outside so I followed and he said. “ I wanna ask sara out, but since you have a gift to read people very well does she like me back?” he said with a concerned look. “ yeah she does.” he sprang up and we went back into the tent. “You guys ever heard of the whomperslooth.” we looked at her stupidly and we said no and she was beginning to tell the story. “ this boy would go to a waterfall and fish every saturday named Kaito (かいと) and one day he didn’t go fishing and got sick, he realized that's his body was so comfortable with this fisherman's lifestyle that he would die if he didn’t fish. He asked his mother to let him fish if I don’t fish i’ll die, the mother said no you need rest. He asked his father saying that I need to fish if I don’t fish i’ll die. But before his father could say anything kaito died and his parents forgot about him. Legend says he went into another person's body making a family tree for generations.” I looked at britt and than matt who said. “ the story’s fake.” and than sara giggled and said “ if you were born here you would known that the story I told you is a legend from this town.” she wasn’t wrong, as soon as you go to school you learn about this legend and I heard it so many times I know it by heart. An hour later and we were ready for bed and matt was cold so I gave her my blanket and I was gonna to use my jacket as a blanket and she said. “Why don’t you sleep with me.” I started to blush and said. “okay?” so I laid with her and she feel asleep really fast. She was warm with a cinnamon sent to her that's made me want to go to a bakery and steal a sweet roll. Why do I feel like I heard that story before? Why do I feel like I heard that name? Whatever I was too tired to think I just got to sleep, tomorrow is gonna be a better day. エピローグ (Epilogue) I had a dream were I was in an old village and seen people who were buying fish I was selling, I heard someone say. “Hey keito what are you selling?” the smell of wet grass, clogged my nose more the cigarette smoke and the air was warm and salty. at the same time but more like a sea smell with the wet grass, and salty fish but more or less still they called me keito. 終わり (the end)

Trauma Sticks With You

//TW PTSD and Anxiety//

Keito jolted awake, his body flying forward into an upright position. He was clammy, covered in a cold sweat, grasping at his chest in a feeble attempt to make his heart calm down. His chest hurt, making it hard to breathe. Trying to focus on the world around him, Keito carefully touched his feet to the cold, hard wood floor with the intention to stand. The boy was suddenly aware of how much he was trembling as his endeavor was nearly trampled.

His back was now against the bed as he was sitting on the floor, hands tangled in his hair. Keito pulled his knees to his chest, burying his face as much as he could. Shaky sobs managed to push past Keito's clenched jaws, barely about a whisper. This wasn't the first and most definitely not the last time the soldier had nightmares about the event, but that didn't make it any easier.

Being captured by the enemy and made to think that each of his team members, each of his friends, were slowly murdered in front of him wouldn't be something he just got over after a few weeks of therapy. It had such an effect on him that the male often has doubts about his friend's identities.

Keito was scared, no, terrified. His grip tightened immensely, nails digging into his scalp. He didn't know what to do, he never did. Every time this happened he would panic and now know how to calm down or at least make the pain stop.

The pain... It was isolated yet coursing through his body at the same time. It felt like his chest was being ripped open and his head was being bashed open. Against his will, a piercing scream erupted from the boy's throat. The action caused Keito to violently flinch, only making things worse. No longer able to control his own body, loud sobs and wails echoed through the small room. He was beginning to feel lightheaded from his shallow, panicked breathing.

Suddenly, he lifted his head from his knees, gasping for air- why was it so hard to breathe?

After a moment, Keito's breaths began to steady out. They were still shaky but at least it was more normal. He was able to realize where he was, able to focus on the feeling of the stained wood against his feet. Then his hands.

Keito moved his hands from his hair to the floor, moving his fingers across the rough surface. Slowly, the trembling began to subside as he was finally able to control the situation. With caution, he attempted to stand again, this try being successful. Using the wall as a brace, he slowly moved from the room to the hallway and finally to a balcony.

Keito was drenched in sweat, the light breeze making him shiver. The male leaned against the railing, looking out at nothing in particular. How much longer would these nightmares and episodes hinder him? How much longer until he could finally be himself again?

Tears began to well up in his eyes as he thought about being a traumatized wreck for the rest of his life, unable to join his friends in anything. It's been almost a year and he still hasn't gotten much better. the light tap of shoes began to grow louder, coming his way, yet he didn't even try to wipe away his tears. It wouldn't do anything except show that he felt it was wrong and the last thing he wanted was more pity.

"I had a feeling I'd find you here," The man mused, his tone sympathetic. Keito's head turned to look at who had just joined him on the balcony at some ungodly hour.

"Like clockwork, Corvex." Keito looked back to the sky and away from his boyfriend. ...Ex-boyfriend? He was a little unsure of their relationship at the moment. Before the attack, they were planning to get engaged but... When they got Keito back, he wasn't able to take the commitment. Just the idea of being close to someone he thought had died made him break. So, per Corvex's advice, they took a break.

Corvex didn't say anything else, he just adjusted his glasses and stared into nothingness as well. It was normal for him to be up late into the night working, he was nocturnal after all.

"I'm sorry.." Keito muttered, hiding his face in his arms. His voice indicated he was about to cry and Corvex heard it clear as day. He just wanted to throw his arms around the poor boy and hold his for the rest of time, but he knew better than to do such a thing.

"Don't be absurd-" Corvex began. "I... I did- didn't mean to," The other interrupted, his body starting to shake again, not nearly as violently as before, but still enough to notice. Corvex's gaze shot to Keito, worry etched onto every feature.

"What are you talking about?" The taller questioned, resisting the urge to cross his arms. It took a lot to make him uncomfortable, but seeing Keito so broken punched through any wall he had. Keito's body jerked as a gross sob wracked his small form.

Corvex sighed lightly, lifting a his hand slowly and hovering it over the boy's back. He decided against the action, knowing how Keito reacted to sudden contact. It pained the man to have to be so distant, but he knew it was for the better. However, he moved his hand into Keito's line of sight and gently grabbed his arm. As he expected, Keito flinched, but not as badly as if he would have touched the boy out of nowhere.

Corvex turned the boy to face him, his heart dropping when Keito made it his main task to avoid looking at the other. "I," He barely choked out, a pale hand wiping tears away. "I promise I'm try- trying," Keito stuttered, hiccupping in between words. Against his better judgement, Corvex pulled Keito into his chest, his arms wrapping around the slender body.

"I know," He whispered back, his hold not faltering for a second, even as Keito jerked back out of habit. "I know." Corvex was close to tears now too, barely keeping himself composed.

When Keito's fight or flight calmed down, the tears came flooding back for the third time that night. He grabbed at the stiff, white fabric of Corvex's lab coat as an effort to bring himself even closer to the alchemist. He broke, letting each whimper and sob be muffled and lost in Corvex's clothes.

Corvex didn't try to stop it, he didn't want to. In a sense, he did. He didn't want to see his ray of pure sunlight this crushed, this broken. Yet in another sense, he wanted Keito to cry and scream the pain away, no matter how long it took. His inner conflict was interrupted by the abrupt realization that he was crying. He was hunched over, as if protecting Keito from something and Keito was holding on as tight as he could.

"It's- It's okay," He choked out, hugging Keito tighter. He began to gently sway, muttering quiet nothings more to reassure himself but also to let the soldier know he wasn't going anywhere.

When Corvex woke up, he was slightly confused. He had a headache which made him think he dove a little to deep into the bottle that night only to be quickly reminded of what really transpired. Keito was nuzzled close to his chest, looking peaceful for the first time in ages. He couldn't remember ever leaving the balcony, let alone moving them both into Keito's room.

He didn't care about the details, he thought as he looked back to the sleeping boy's face. All that mattered right now was that he had finally made progress. He had work to do for the medical team, but that could wait. He wouldn't be moving from this spot as long as Keito was still in it.

~A little epilogue~

Ever since that night, Keito had clung to Corvex like a monkey. He didn't mind the clinginess, not one bit. It meant that his friend finally had someone to rely on. Keito's single room was retired and his things moved into Corvex's much larger room. This time, it was Keito's idea, though, he had suggested Corvex moving into his room. Of course, Keito liked Corvex's idea much more.

Keito found the mountainous and rocky road to recovery was a little less steep and seemed much more traversable with someone by his side. He knew he still had a long way to go, but at least he wouldn't be alone the next time he woke up in a panic.

❤10 Years with JUMP ❤

[Disclaimer] This is all base on my opinion. I might pay more attention to certain things than you do. So please read with an open mind. I just wanted to express my love for the boys <3 Plus, sorry for all the blurry pictures! They were high quality once...a long time ago... T.T

I’m going to share 10 of my favorite JUMP moments (things) to reminisce what these wonderful boys have been through and all the joy they’ve brought to me through these past 10 amazing years.

So starting at #10….

10) Your Seed Dance formation

I remember back in 2008, I was freaking out so much because of this dance formation. It was so cool and is still so cool. I watched this pv for days and even tried to learn every move from Chinen to Yabu hahaha I still think it was one of the coolest dance choreography JUMP has. They were so young…

9) Yuto’s comeback?

After JUMP’s debut, Yuto fell into a “slump year,” which made him lose the center position to Yamada. BUT, he worked very hard and gained popularity again from his acting roles (Hanzawa Naoki, Suikyuu Yankees, etc.). The most amazing thing was when he got to sing the climax in Asu e No Yell. I felt like a proud mom. Love you Yuto~

8) Yamada’s Solo

I was so fricken happy because as you all know, Yamada is my ichiban. And…..Ok…It’s not surprising that out of all 9 of them Yamada got a solo single. BUT, during the making of Mystery Virgin, he was so bored so he talked about all 8 of the members and cried out for them because he was so lonely (My poor baby T.T). He was also expressing his worries about going solo. I felt so good to be his fan because he cared for his members and because he was talking about his worries so openly it made me feel happy that he could share it with his fans. I could sense that he wasn’t letting his fame cloud his perspective which made me trust him that he would not leave HSJ. I understand that other popular members from other groups left because they wanted to explore other opportunities and want to try new styles. I will not be mad if one day Yamada leaves but I will miss him in JUMP. So I hope he doesn’t leave.

(Gif not mine, credits to rightful owner)

7) Host of Shounen Club

This was one of my proudest moments of them. They were finally the SENPAIS hosting the show like Koyama and Nakamaru. Although their hosting didn’t last long it was so much fun to watch them host in their own style, performing their songs in a relaxed manner and be the senpais.

6) “Coming of Age” songs

When all of HS7 finally turned 20/21, they released more matured songs. Like Ride With Me, Aino Arika, Weekender, and Asu e No Yell. I’ve watched them grow up and have seen all their different concepts. From being cute, to being bold, I’ve seen it all (for now, expecting to see more creative concepts). This was one of my favorite periods of JUMP. I sensed their manliness but they still had a goofy and kiddy side. They will always make me happy no matter what!

5) Concerts

I know this is very vague but all their concerts were a great part of their 10 year journey. They always surprise me every time! If I were to talk about them, this blog post will never end. To shorten it up, take a look at some of the pictures down below. These are not enough pictures to describe how great their concerts are! Just go watch them :)

4) Itadaki High Jump

THEIR OWN VARIETY SHOW! This is by far, one of the best things for JUMP. I love how each member gets to shine and all of their personality compliments each other so well. I love the concept of this show! I hope they get more guests soon! And our English prince, Keito, is finally getting the spot light on that show. He finds every chance he gets to use his English! Haha Like #5 explaining this show will take forever. So please check out how amazing this show is down below:

3) Shin Domoto Kyoudai

Their appearance on Domoto Brother was the cutest thing ever. These freshly debuted kids were so nervous to be on this show and not to mention, it was hosted by their Dai-senpai, which most of them admired a lot. They were asked a lot of typical debut questions (who’s your admired senpai, why did you join JE, etc.). They were also asked to show their teamwork and I was shocked that they all were thinking the same thing (They all did the “jumping to my dream” hand movement). I wish they did that to introduce themselves every time hahaha. Overall, I think this is a MUST WATCH to any new JUMP fans! If you need a link, message me :)

2) Debut Performance

Their debut performance on Hey! Hey! Hey! Was probably the most adorable thing ever, especially when they were introducing themselves. V6, TVXQ, Yui, and others were also guested on the show. I was very happy that those big artists like them got to see my boys perform. They had so much energy and they all shined so bright!

1) Don’t mind?

When JUMP just debuted they were invited on this Subway quiz show as volleyball supporters. I don’t know the name of the show. If you haven’t seen JUMP guested on this show, I will explain it. The setting of the show was set up like a subway where each player had to hold a subway strap and give their answer. If they got two questions wrong they will get punished by getting spray with some stuff (looked like fire extinguisher stuff haha). The questions were slangs or shorten word and you had to answer with the formal wording (Exampls: kimu taku = Kimura Takuya, KY- Kuki Yomenai, CD= Compact Disc, and so on). JUMP went on the show with another volleyball supporter. It was Chinen’s turn and he couldn’t think of the answer so he was about to get sprayed but Ryutaro pushed him away because he also got a question wrong earlier so he was going to get sprayed in Chinen’s place (he was “taking responsibility” haha). But the person that came on the show with them ended up getting sprayed for both of Chinen and Ryutaro. She was annoyed so she pushed Chinen and said “Don’t Mind” in a rude way. So chibi Chinen pushed her back. She was going to push him again but then Keito stepped in and protected him!! Then Ryutaro said something along the lines like “Violence isn’t the answer” so she went towards him and Yuto protected him. Lastly, Daiki ended up pushing her unto to ground.

This was my favorite JUMP moment of all time!! They were all protecting each other and they all just had very great chemistry with each other! I miss their chibi days! If you watch it you would understand why it was such a great moment! I think all earlier JUMP fans have already seen this but for those new fans who haven’t, here is the link to the video but there is no Eng Sub.

BONUS: Hikaru getting casted in “Ikemen Desu Ne.” (Japanese version of You’re Beautiful) This came as a huge surprise to me but whoever was casting did it right! I wouldn’t have thought of anyone else in JE to play this role other than Hika-chan! Another proud moment I had.

All my boys are growing up so nicely! Even Ryutaro! Happy 10 Years boys! I will always be here to support you all :D You guys make me happy and give me the best joy! I wish to see you all again one day! Until then, stay healthy and keep smiling.

If you came this far, thank you for reading!!

This is what you have to know to ace your diet and supplementation during the crucial to start with thirty day period of ketogenic dieting, along with a total sample food program!

Your Ought to-Have (And Need to-Not-Have) Keto Foods Checklist

In the 1st few times, you could possibly end up craving them-terribly. Sorry, no fruit for now. Even carrots and onions are also high-glycemic to work with keto, Wittrock claims.

Fatty nuts and seeds: cashews, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds

Avocado

Whole eggs

youtube

Comprehensive-Extra fat cheese

Rooster: Thighs and vox.com/the-highlight/2019/7/25/18744359/keto-diet-weight-loss-diabetes legs

That last merchandise may possibly shock you, but for many people, it tends to make all the primary difference. Why? When carbs are cut, we fast deplete glycogen, the stored type of carbohydrate.

Also, I am a big fan of salted pumpkin seeds and salted sunflower seed kernels. Contrary to popular belief, pork rinds are an excellent keto snack."

Calculating And Hitting Your Macros For Keto

You might think you've what it requires to help make the change to keto without monitoring your macronutrients, however , you're almost certainly Improper. Having your macros right is The most crucial facet of beginning down the path of a ketogenic diet program.

"Yes, tracking macros can be cumbersome and wearisome, but it's Definitely critical in the initially handful of months of the keto diet plan," states Wittrock. "The diet most likely goes in opposition to every thing you have accomplished before, so monitoring your macros gives you feedback and means that you can troubleshoot right until you will get the cling of it."

It doesn't matter what your diet continues to be up to now, keto is going to be a giant alter. If you're coming from a standard American eating plan (Unfortunate) history, your carbs will go way down, protein may perhaps possibly go up or down, and Excess fat will go way up. In case you are coming from a bodybuilding-model diet, your Excess fat intake will bounce to alarming levels, plus your protein will most likely fall substantially.

Dropping protein? You study that correct. Keto is a carbohydrate-limited, higher-Body fat, average-protein approach to macro distribution. This is how the macros end up searching for most people:

Carbohydrates: 5-10 percent

Fats: 70-75 per cent

Protein: 15-20 per cent

So in which do you start your calculations? With carbs and protein. When 1st getting going, it is ideal to maintain carbohydrates fewer than fifty grams daily. Wittrock uncovered that he likes to go even reduce.

"I recommend only five % of energy coming from carbs, which commonly averages out to less than 30 grams," he claims. "So, I realize why people get nervous and stress, pondering 'Am i able to even try to eat a salad?' That is why I recommend tracking only 'Web carbs', which can be whole carbs minus fiber. For instance, an avocado has 12 grams of carbs but ten grams of fiber, which implies it's got 2 grams of Internet carbs. Also, inexperienced leafy vegetables are very nutritious and consist of many fiber, in order to Nearly consume them as much as you would like and stay below your limit."

Concerning protein, it is often advised that ketogenic athletes set protein involving 0.6 and one.0 grams for each pound of lean mass-not per pound of overall body body weight. Down below is undoubtedly an illustration of how you could possibly compute the protein wants of the 180-pound lifter who may have fifteen p.c human body fat:

a hundred and eighty lbs. x 0.fifteen = 27 lbs. of Unwanted fat

a hundred and eighty lbs. - 27lbs. = 153 lbs. lean mass

153 lbs. x 0.6 g = ninety one.eight g

153 lbs. x one.0g = 153 g

Protein array = 92-a hundred and fifty g on a daily basis

If you do not know your p.c of physique Unwanted fat, either get tested or use our calorie calculator and multiply your day-to-day consumption by 0.15-0.twenty to determine your daily protein wants.

For anyone who is accustomed into a protein consumption well more than Your system pounds-not to mention lean entire body mass-you might be skeptical a few diet regime that demands you reduce protein consumption by just as much as 50 %. Wittrock can relate.

Protein

"In the beginning, I used to be terribly worried that I'd personally eliminate muscle mass mass as a result of lower protein consumption," he claims. "But, I dropped absolutely no muscle mass and was ready to insert lean mass to my physique. How Is that this feasible? It really is for the reason that ketones Have a very 'protein sparing' influence. So plenty of protein just isn't important."

What occurs should you go way too substantial? Simple: Say goodbye to ketosis! Certain amino acids are gluconeogenic, which implies that they can in fact be accustomed to make carbohydrates.

The story centers around Keito Aoyama, a former famous child actor. Due to a childhood incident, she retired from her career early and withdrew from normal society. Now 16, she passes her days in boredom and without purpose. But one day she runs into a stranger who takes her to El Liston–a free school for high school students like herself, who don’t have a place where they belong. Though hesitant at first, Keito decides to enter El Liston and subsequently, she begins a new stage in her life. With the help of her only remaining childhood friend, Taiyou, and her new classmates Rei, Momiji, and Kouichi, Keito slowly finds the courage to open up to others and to accept their support. Will Keito return to acting? Will she find true friends? Love?

Vaishnavi just knows me. After finishing Orange, I texted her asking for another recommendation. She had once told me about this manhwa (Koran cartoons), by name Can’t see, can’t hear but love, where a blind person and a deaf person fall in love. It is heart wrenching just to think about so I said, sometime later, recommend me a cute one. And she said Cat Street.

I think this is probably the third piece of fiction that I’ve experienced about an former actor’s life. One was November 9 by Colleen Hoover and the other is an anime movie Perfect Blue. Perfect Blue does not deal with a former actress, but someone who switched careers in the show biz itself. Either way, I wanted to see how this unraveled.

I liked the story. It deals with so much: love, friendship, family and lost ties. Keito just discovers and new school, free in every single sense and she doesn’t do a thing there. That was what annoyed me the most, I guess. And the best thing about these types of manga is the fact that it is so character driven. There were so many moments that I loved in the whole manga.

SPOILERS

I was a bit skeptical when I started, because Keito was, um, sorry, a little boring. Sadly, she didn’t have much life and hadn’t seen much in over seven years, so I forgive her. She was in a post traumatic depression and after seven years, she came back. I’m glad she did; she’s seen so much life from then on and all thanks to her friends. I also loved the fact the she realized her own happiness comes from her friends’ happiness. This realization made me feel she’s grown up a lot. She’s grateful for her experiences which shaped her.

Her friends are simply amazing. Momiji reminds me of Lola from Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins, sewing her own clothes and not believing in the current fashion. I loved her, I loved hr confidence when she wears her own creation, looking like Gothic Lolita and she oozes confidence in them. I loved her. I love how supportive she is of Keito and her career and the fact that she is loved by Keito enough to take revenge on the boy who broke Momiji’s heart.

Kouichi is…well, dark and brooding and secretive and maybe I would’ve liked guys like this once upon a time. He’s extremely withdrawn, stating that the people at his old school were “stupid and boring” and he’d joined El Liston with the help of the Principal, just like most of them. But he took a while to open up to Keito and let her in, just he could push her out when she started dating Rei. He was so hurt, it was clearly visible in his eyes. But he shook it off because he wanted his best friend Rei to be happy and if it was with Keito, then so be it. But then he confesses and she realizes she also feels the same way (not exactly in this order) and they both got together, much to the surprise of Momiji.

And Rei. *sigh*

Where do I begin? He’s my kinda guy, happy and a little flirtatious (okay, a lot, because it’s shown that he’s had multiple flings in the past and makes small sex jokes now and then but he’s changed at lot!) and the perfect football guy. I love him. I love how much he loves Keito (no matter how much it hurts me), I love how much he loves Kouichi and Momiji and the fact that he faked that he had a girlfriend back in London just so Keito can move past him and realize her feelings for Kouichi. Why wouldn’t I want him?

Who wouldn’t want him?

Overall, this was a light and happy book. I loved all aspects of it, especially when Kouichi decides to buy the school and rebuilds it with all his friends.

Here are my favourite panels, in particular order. If you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t see them!

Cat Street by Yoko Kamio The story centers around Keito Aoyama, a former famous child actor. Due to a childhood incident, she retired from her career early and withdrew from normal society.
