#Anyway I fucking hate Arisa

[hecate-spawn]

I have hate in my heart and all of it is for Arisa Higure. Girl shut your bitch ass up and worry about your own fuck ass group

Shout out to Mariana tho hope she gets an L2D

#I LOVED THIS EVENT SO MUCH #MMJ EVENTS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST AIGH #but I have words about how they handled Shizuku and Arisa #Like. Yeah she's incompetent. She was submitted in an idol competition without consent #And adults in a higher position forced Shizuku to be fake #They prioritized her photo shoots and shit over being an idol #Everyone is pressuring her. No one is trying to understand her position #She was and is trying her hardest. Nothing was 100% her fault #Anyway I fucking hate Arisa #Shizuku didn't have to apologize #project sekai #prsk #proseka #puroseka #pjsekai #pjsk #Mmj #more more jump #shizuku hinomori #Arisa figure #At the end of Unravelled Threads

Now obviously if I were to ever make a band swap and canon bodyswap adjacent au I would probably do it with like Moca or smth but it'd be funny if I did it with Arisa since starting out there's literally no differences between them but they'd still both react so strongly to everyone around them because most of the people in their lives would be so wildly different tkgndjf

#rat rambles #band posting #band swap au #like especially rimi theyd both react so violently to the other universes rimi #canon arisa would get band swap arisa fired probably fdndkfbfh #and band swap arisa would probably be in awe at canon rimi and also have like 15 Oh moments over the span of like 5 minutes #oh and also theyd both fucking hate being around the other kasumi cndnfjdbf #anyways Im gonna try and sleep now I think

MC Being Lesbian Fluff/Smut-ish (MWA7R)

I thought it’d be pretty funny to think of how stories would turn out if the MC was gay. So basically this is a shit post but heh heh let’s see how it goes.

Warning: Mature, Reference to sex, Mild language.

~~~~~~

After the company wide meeting appointing the new special executives, I make my way up to the CEO’s office to collect my reward. This is all pretty sus. I should have asked to sign later. I sighed to myself, dropping my face into my hands as I walked down the hall. 

“Hey, MC, nice work!” A female coworker I’m... close with laughs as she passing me and I sigh. She’s smirking, probably imagining me naked after all the times we’ve rolled around in each other’s bed after company parties. Luckily, she doesn’t work in my division, so we only see each other in the halls, but somehow she always finds me.

“Still available for later?” She pretends to hand me a file, drawing close so she can whisper in my ear. I blush, having completely forgotten about the meeting we organised. I don’t know how today will turn out after how crazy its already been.

“I’ll text you if my plans change.” I force a smile and this time she sighs. 

“So tense. You need to relax.” Her voice is low as she discreetly runs her fingers down my back and gives my ass a quick pinch. I squeak, not expecting it, and she laughs, continuing her voyage back to her office.

~~~~~~

My grandfather is- was the CEO of the company I work at and I have to marry a man? That’s all I got from what the now acting CEO, Hayami explained. I was distraught, embarrassed and confused. First of all, what asshole doesn’t introduce himself to his own granddaughter? Well, maybe I should be thankful for that, he could have disowned me too. Who’s to say he didn’t already know I was gay? Well, him insisting I marry a man would be a clue to his ignorance. 

“Um, there’s just one thing.” I laugh awkwardly as Seiichiro asks if any of us have any questions. Ren and Yamato aren’t here, so I don’t feel as embarrassed to come out to all these strikingly handsome men... Until they burst through the door... And agree to join the marriage program. I try to interrupt their conversation, but they seem too busy planning what to do with me to listen. Eventually, I get tired. 

“I’m not marrying anyone in this room!” I announce as loudly as possible and they all freeze, turning to me with varying degrees of amusement or annoyance. 

“You have to, you signed this contract.” Seiichiro smirked, pushing forward the evidence he’s already threatened me with. I cross my arms, wishing I was in a closet on the other side of the planet- excuse the pun. 

“I’m not marrying anyone because I’m not interested in men.” Trying my best to ignore my two childhood best friends standing either side of me, I blush, avoiding all the astonished looks that take over their faces. I didn’t realise I was only attracted to women until after they graduated, and I’m too awkward to just come out and say it, they never needed to know anyway. Arisa and Yumi know, mainly because they walked in on me and my lady friend making out on my desk late one night at the office, but no one else does.

“You’re gay? This is just perfect!” Asahi laughs, obviously amused by this development.

“MC... Why-?” Yamato frowns his brows at me but I give him the look. The look that says this really isn’t the time for him to be acting brotherly. 

“This is a predicament.” Seiichiro’s face screws up in contemplation, glaring at the document in his hands as he tries to think of what else to do. 

“Yeah, it’s a real shame... So I’m gonna go...” I lead off, already turning around o leave the room when I hit face-to-chest contact with someone who snuck up behind me. Blushing, I step back, only to see Hiroto smirking down at me. 

“I do like a woman who likes to experiment.” 

This time, I laugh. Mainly because I cannot believe he just said that. “You’re a pig.” I spit, pushing him to the side so I can make it out of this room with as much dignity as I came here with. God, I hated coming out. Why can’t it just be normal to be a homo.

~~~~~~

That night, I definitely called over my lady friend. An agreement of our working relationship is that we share no feelings, its just sex, but I’m so pent up with frustration I may have dominated a little more than I usually do. Which, thankfully, she doesn’t seem to mind.

Panting on the bed in my apartment, I gazing up at the ceiling, resting my head on her arm. 

“You... You really went there today.” Her breathing was just as ragged and, although her tone was light-hearted, I grew worried I had hurt or annoyed her. “No, its fine. I liked it. But, there’s something bothering you? After you won all that money, I would have thought you were buying me champagne.” She chuckles, sitting up once I did to gauge her expression and grabbing a shirt off the floor, not checking if it was hers or mine. 

“I didn’t win money.” I sighed, throwing my head back against my pillow as I spread my limbs as I far as I could. I needed a massage. I was still pissed by what the financial group’s executive said and how I was probably still going to get pushed into that situation. The bed dipped beside me as my sex friend rested her head on my chest. 

“You’re heart’s racing, but that might be because you just gave me the best orgasm I’ve ever had.” She jokes, worried but trying to keep the conversation light, and I huff a chuckle.

“I won a husband.” I didn’t mind telling her what happened today. We trusted each other with our secret and I knew she didn’t like gossip. But, I could tell my admission made her concerned when she lifted herself up on her arms and stared into my eyes. She was trying to see if their was a teasing glint in my eyes, but, alas, this was not a prank.

“Apparently, I’m the granddaughter of the late CEO and I need to marry one of the Special Executives unless the company folds. That contract I signed? A fucking marriage contract!” I growled, getting more annoyed by the second. I still hadn’t put any clothes on, the sheet draped over my lower half, but I was getting hot with anger. What kind of grandfather, not to mention CEO, makes that kind of deal?!

“That’s not legal.” Being a part of the company’s legal team, my bed buddy frowned her brows as I sat up, resting my head against the back board, keeping my gaze on the ceiling to try and stop my tears. I. Was. So. Annoyed. It took me a long time to admit to myself I liked... loved women and now I’m being pushed into a loveless marriage with a man!

“Of course it isn’t, but that’s not gonna stop Sanno’s right-hand man.” I said the title in a funny voice, which made my friend giggle, but I just sighed at my poor attempt of a joke. We’re silent for a moment, both of us in deep contemplation over the strange change of events. 

“Marry me.” She suddenly says and my gaze jerks to her. Her expression is serious, more than I’ve ever seen it, and I become increasingly aware that I am butt-ass naked. 

“Wh-What?” I blush. I’ll admit, I had more feelings for her than I should have. She’s funny, sweet and incredibly beautiful. Even though she pushes the line of what’s appropriate in the workplace, it’s light-hearted. I’ve never had a bad time with her. Not to mention how good a cook she is. How unbelievably smart. We’ve been at this for months. 6 whole months since we hooked up at the office Christmas party. But, we’ve never gone on a date. I’ve never met any of her friends, and the only time she’s met mine is when we were half naked, grinding on each other in my apartment, and they ran out seconds after they walked in. 

“Come on, MC, we both know we have a greater connection than just in the bedroom. I... I’ve loved you for a long time now, I was so scared to say it, but if we say you’re already engaged, they won’t be able to push you into anything.” She cups my cheek in her hand, her eyes growing dewy and almost childlike. I feel my own eyes grow with tears. 

“B-But that means you’ll have to come out. What about your job? If anyone knew you were gay, won’t they look down on you?” I frowned my brows, not wanting her to ruin her life for me. Although, my heart fluttered with each word she spoke. 

“My team knows, they have no problem with it. And they can’t fire me, its against the law. We’re in separate divisions, so we won’t get in trouble. I’m not scared if I’ve got you to back me.” Her gaze nervously drops for a moment, but the seriousness within them returns two-fold when we make eye contact again. I feel my face blush darkly and I gulp to try and wet my throat enough to speak without a shaky voice. “So, will you marry me?” 

“Y-Yes. Yes, I’ll marry you!” I start off quiet, but its difficult to hold in my excitement as I jump onto her, pushing my lips so fiercely against hers I would have worried I’d chip a tooth, but I was too happy. I feel vibrations of her chuckle as I clamber on top of her, my body alight with desire once again, even after the hours we went at it only moments ago. 

“You giving me newly-wed sex, now?” She sighed in pleasure as I practically ripped the top off her, hungrily kissing her neck. 

“I’m giving you everything.” I lean up to whisper in her ear before dipping down again. What followed were hours longer of exercise and love making, which I was definitely happy to have for the rest of my life. 

~~~~~~

“You’re already engaged?” Seiichiro didn’t look very impressed as I stood in front of his desk, a broad smile on my face. It was still a little embarrassing to say and, seeing as I had neither a ring on my finger or my partner beside me, it was hard to prove .Not to mention how exhausted I was when we kept each other up until morning, but I paid that no mind.

“And who is this partner of your’s? A woman, perhaps?” Likely not believing my excuse after walking out of the meeting yesterday, the acting CEO raised an eyebrow at me. 

Then, a knock came to the door and my heart fluttered. “You might want to answer that.” My smile grew and he frowned his brows, instructing the person to enter. 

There stood my beautiful bride-to-be, dressed in her sexy pant suit with a whole stack of sexy legal files tucked under her sexy arm. I might be a little biased.  She was going to help me get out of the contract. When our eyes met, my heart raced, making my face blush. She stepped forward, introducing herself as an employee of the company before bowing to our boss’s boss’s boss. 

“I would like to know how you thought you’d get away with forcing my fiancee to sign that marriage contract of your’s?” She smirked, Seiichiro’s expression faltering and my heart exploding at the word. Fiancee. Wow, I’ve never heard it sound so good. 

“You- And you- You’re-?” Seiichiro couldn’t wrap his small pee-brain around the idea and we both tried to stifle a laugh at the bewildered look on his normally stoic face. 

“Would you like me to prove it?” My fiancee- oh god I’ll never not get excited at saying that- wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me close to her. Using all my self control not to jump on her right here and now, I mockingly slapped her arm, telling her how unprofessional this was. 

Before, however, she could release me, the doors the office opened once again.

“Sei, have you solved the-?” As we turn around, my soon-to-be-wife’s arms still wrapped around my waist, I see several of the men competing for my hand freeze the second they observe this scene. I blush, still as horrifically embarrassed by PDAs as I was before, but my girlfriend seems very amused, noted but the jump in her chest as she chuckles.

“You shouldn’t be looking at other marriage candidates when I’m around.” She whispered in my ear, guiding my gaze back to her with the pinch on my chin. I blush, mustering my courage to say what I want to say in front of all these eyes. 

“There’s no others.” I mumble before crashing my lips into her’s. We’re heatedly seeking each other for a moment, my fiancee maybe feeling a little possessive with her hand bunching my hair to pull me closer. Luckily, I have the wherewithal to pull back, although my breathing is a little ragged and my face is bright red as I smile sheepishly at her. 

“I think you’ll find all these documents prove intent and evidence of your crime. Oh, and if you think of firing me, I have a contract with the company that allows me to sue for wrongful termination. We’ll have a meeting at the end of the week to go over a consolidation arrangement for causing emotion harm to my fiancee. Good day, Mr Hayami.” My fiancee smiles as she hands over the papers she walked in here with and bows.

“I’ll see you at lunch.” She leans into my ear but speaks loud enough for the other’s to just about hear as she pinches my butt again, leaving with almost a skip in her step. 

“That was a lawyer from HR?” Hiroto loudly exclaimed once the door shut and probably the woman I’ve ever loved most is no longer here. I’m almost caught in a daze remembering how strong she just acted to save me. 

“Why am I not surprised you knew that?” Junta sighs, obviously not happy with this turn in events as I shake the sinful thoughts out of my head. God, I love her. 

Turning back to Seiichiro, who’s leisurely sifting through the files my fiancee gave him, I watch the scowl etched in his face cut deeper. He sighs, mutters something under his breath, and pulls what I’m sure is my marriage contract out of his top desk drawer. “You can marry anyone you please, it won’t impede the soundness of the company or pile a mountain of debt over you.” I can hear him crying internally at being bested as he tears the contract in two.

“Thank you, sir! I’m very grateful!” I bow lowly, too overjoyed to notice how ticked off most of the men in the room are. 

After that day, I’m very open with my relationship. Yamato and Ren warm to my fiancee very well, although it seems like a purely professional relationship. Yumi and Arisa, mainly Arisa, are more than happy to help me plan the wedding- seeing as they’ll be a big part in it- and we have a small destination wedding thanks to my inheritance money. I’m more than happy, I don’t know a word to describe it. Our careers are going well and neither of us want kids just yet, but in time. I’m just so happy I could marry the person I love being the real me.

~~~~~~

This turned out way cuter than I expected it to, but I am SO here for it lol. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Renny’s BBSim: First Boots Week 7

Welcome back to Biiiiiiiiiig Brother!

@ashleaevans @bathroom-sand @kaysarswhore @kayysarridha @kelleekim @lahallucinations @maxdoesbb @misshoh @music-obsessednerd @nerdphobic @nomwastaken @pawn2393 @phylisisley @remember-caltoru @rennyforpresident @shaolinbynature

Previously, @lahallucinations was backdoored by @kaysarswhore, who managed to pull off another HOH win and secure her spot in the game. But power is back up for grabs, so will this finally be the week her number is up?

After the vote, @phylisisley pulls @shaolinbynature into the bathroom and violently whispers at her

@phylisisley: “Why did you flip?? I fucking know it was you, don’t even try to deny it!”

@shaolinbynature: “I needed to flip it up! You know she was done for anyway! Why are you so mad!?”

@phylisisley: “Because now I look like a dumbass in the minority! I need a fucking minute”

@phylisisley: “I can’t keep up with @shaolinbynature‘s antics anymore. I want to work with him, but if he can’t keep me as his number 1, I just don’t feel that protective of him anymore…”

After that heartbreaking fight, the HOH competition is next!

This one’s not for the weak of heart or stomach! All of the houseguests take their spots in the tub. The first thing to be dumped in is spaghetti noodles

@kelleekim immediately gets out

@kelleekim in the DR: “I’ve thrown almost every comp that I’ve been in; this one is no different! I just had to make it look like I was grossed out!”

After dumping in pig’s blood, pudding, and hardboiled eggs, three houseguests collectively agree to step out

They just couldn’t take the heat, and all dropped out at the same time.

When it’s announced that live worms will be next, two more fall victim to losing

Which means

Will @nerdphobic finally pull his weight for his alliance? Or will @phylisisley finally secure her first comp win? Or, @shaolinbynature could win and redeem herself from last week’s loss. What’s gonna happen?

After an hour in the tub, @shaolinbynature promises both of them safety for the week. She swears on her parents’ lives that she’ll be true to her word. Knowing she’s in no danger, @phylisisley stands and gets out

Shortly after, @nerdphobic steps out too. Which means…

@shaolinbynature! You have secured your safety for the week and earned the right to nominate two of your fellow houseguests for eviction! 

@shaolinbynature in the DR: “I am HYPE! I needed this win, and I hope this will make it up to @phylisisley that I lied to her about the vote. This week, we’re going hunting for sharks!”

@shaolinbynature gets the key and hugs @phylisisley, whispering “I’m so sorry” into her ear while she does. It seems the two have made up for now

At the nomination ceremony, @shaolinbynature has plenty of options. But who will end up taking a seat in the block chairs?

@shaolinbynature: “I have decided to nominate @kaysarswhore and @remember-caltoru. @kaysarswhore, you said it last week: turnaround is fair play. You put me up, I’ll put your ass there too. @remember-caltoru, you’re mostly a pawn, but you’re also up there because I have no idea where you’re at in this game. I’m worried you’re playing both sides, but I’m not certain yet. Either way, good luck in the veto, and this nomination ceremony is adjourned.”

@kaysarswhore in the DR: “I mean, is anyone surprised? I’m really getting tired of this back and forth, though. One of us needs to go, and next week, I’m confident that’ll be @shaolinbynature“

@remember-caltoru in the DR: “This is my first time being nominated, and I’m a little nervous about it. I mean, I know that @kaysarswhore is obviously the bigger threat, but @rennyforpresident went home against her! It’s stressful!”

Now, it’s time to pick players for the veto competition!

@shaolinbynature draws her recently reconciled BFF @phylisisley to play! And in more dramatic news, @kaysarswhore picks her biggest nemesis, @ashleaevans, to play. This is what she looked like as he walked to the front of the living room

Lastly, @remember-caltoru picked fellow member of the Fearsome Four to compete, @misshoh

All of the houseguests split up and each work on their individual mobile. Right off the bat, it’s clear that two of these houseguests are going to struggle the whole way through

It looks like @phylisisley is doing well at the start, but then drops ball and loses all of her progress! She never recovers from this setback

The competition is tight, but one houseguest manages to pull ahead and win…

@ashleaevans! You have won the Power of Veto!

@ashleaevans in the DR: “I finally won something!! And now I can use this to make sure that @kaysarswhore finally goes home!”

At the veto ceremony,

@ashleaevans: “I finally won a competition, and as much as I’d like to make a big move with it, the biggest threat is already up on the block. So…

Nominees are LOCKED!

That night, @kaysarswhore was showing @remember-caltoru her famous salad recipe. Just as the two were almost done cooking,

@remember-caltoru: “Shit! I bumped into the stove and started a fire!”

The fire is put out pretty quickly, but everyone is very annoyed with @remember-caltoru for the inconvenience. Can we go one goddamn week without burning down the house?

@kaysarswhore in the DR: “This is all going to plan! I need this house to hate @remember-caltoru so that they keep me around longer! *evil laughter*”

Continuing with her plan to get votes on her side, @kaysarswhore goes to @nerdphobic to campaign, but ends up having a real heart to heart

The two talk for a solid hour and a half about their favorite moments from the latest season of Supernanny. The two leave feeling closer than they ever have before. 

But even after all this work, @kaysarswhore still feels like she doesn’t have the votes. So, she decides to go out with a bang. She’s flipping a bed.

But not just any bed.

No.

She’s flipping the HOH BED!

@kaysarswhore convinces @shaolinbynature to let her use her bathroom, and once she’s alone inside, she gets the mattress up and out and over the railing, slamming it down into the kitchen. It almost lands on @shaolinbynature and breaking his arm!

The two get into a heated argument, where @shaolinbynature even calls for @kaysarswhore‘s expulsion, but she’s reality TV gold, so that’s never going to happen on Grodner’s watch. The two eventually settle down, and @kaysarswhore goes to sleep knowing she got the last laugh.

But there’s more to this house than strategy and fighting. In the HOH room the next night, once they managed to get the mattress back upstairs,

The two, who had been friends from the start, finally feel comfortable and alone enough to confess their true feelings for each other. In tears at the terrifying prospect of a showmance on national television, both of them comfort each other until they feel like their bond has never been stronger.

Across the house, in the Have Not room while everyone is asleep or outside, another secret relationship is developing

@pawn2393: “No one can ever find out how much I really like you. @kaysarswhore and @nomwastaken would KILLLLL me”

@ashleaevans: “Well that’s why, when we vote her out this week, we’ll be good! No worries until then!”

The two continue talking until they fall asleep, strengthening their secret bond.

The next day is EVICTION DAY!

Arisa: “Hello everyone! We have a big night, so let’s get straight to it!”

@kaysarswhore: “Hello again from the block! I have faith in my alliance, and I ask all of you to please not send me to jury with @lahallucinations, because she’ll rip into me! I sent her home! Keep me around, let me play, let’s have some fun!”

@remember-caltoru: “I also have faith in my alliance, and I hope all of you make the logical decision tonight! It’s game suicide to keep her in the house any longer, it makes no sense! She’s a beast, and she will walk away with this win if you don’t take your shot now. That’s all!”

Arisa: “Let’s vote!”

Of course, @ashleaevans is voting out @kaysarswhore. He’s tired of this rivalry and wants it to END! But it looks like he may not get that wish, because @kaysarswhore‘s campaigning worked really well.

The rest of the six votes all fall in favor of @kaysarswhore. Even @phylisisley votes out @remember-caltoru, saying “I just need @shaolinbynature to know what it feels like to have the vote flipped on her, even if it doesn’t matter. I’ll never do it again, but I wanted to return the favor”

Arisa: “Remember, when I reveal the name of the evicted houseguest, they will have one minute to gather their belongings, say their goodbyes, and exit the Big Brother house”

.

Arisa: “Come on out, @remember-caltoru!”

Arisa: “What happened? Wasn’t this supposed to be an easy vote?”

@remember-caltoru: “It was! I have no idea what went wrong, I’m still in shock right now.”

Arisa: “Why do you think your alliance chose @kaysarswhore over you?”

@remember-caltoru: “Honestly, it was probably the comp wins. She had an edge over me, and I guess they felt like they could rely on her to keep the power on their side. They were STUPID to do that but they did!”

Arisa: “We are so sorry to see you go, but stay right there.”

Arisa gathers the houseguests back in the living room for an announcement.

Arisa: “Tonight, @remember-caltoru is not the only houseguest going home. That’s right, it’s DOUBLE EVICTION NIGHT!”

The houseguests are all floored, but head to the backyard for the HOH competition.

@phylisisley and @ashleaevans keep getting correct answer after correct answer, but in the end, the winner is…

@ashleaevans! You have secured your safety and earned the right to nominate two of your fellow houseguests for eviction! And because we’re on a time crunch, I’ll need you to make those nominations now.

@ashleaevans: “This decision isn’t hard for me, I know what I need to do. The two of you are coming after me, and stopping me from playing the game I want to play (He steals a glance at @pawn2393 when he says that). I have decided to nominate…

Neither of the two of them are surprised, but this is the first time @kaysarswhore is feeling the heat. Of course, everything is riding on the veto

It looks like this veto is the Block Destoyers vs. @ashleaevans!

Another elimination style competition means intense gameplay! After a quick-fire version of this competition, the winner is…

@kaysarswhore! And again because of the time crunch, we need your decision now!

@ashleaevans: “I didn’t want to have to name a replacement nominee, but you are the person who’s closest to @kaysarswhore. You’ve also been flying way too far under the radar for my comfort. I’m sorry, but…

Arisa: “Nominees are finalized! Let’s hear those last chance pleas!”

@nomwastaken: “I have been nothing but loyal in this game, and I know that I have the loyalty to continue. Keep me and know that I am on your side. That’s it.”

@nerdphobic: “I have never once thought of backstabbing my alliance; I can’t say the same for @nomwastaken. I’ve only been under the radar because I can’t win a comp to save my life. Please keep me here. Please.”

Arisa: “It’s clear that both of you are stressed, so let’s get to this vote and end it!”

The votes are tied up so far! @kaysarswhore, even though she has a close bond with @nerdphobic, knows her chances of going further lie with @nomwastaken​. @pawn2393​ feels the same. @misshoh​ makes the hard call to vote out her number 1 @nomwastaken​, saying “I just can’t win against you in the end” through lots and lots of tears. @kelleekim​ feels like @nomwastaken​ did him wrong in a past life and is happy to vote him out. How will the showmance vote?

Before the vote, both of them discussed and agreed to split their votes! They wanted to make the big alliance sweat, and put @ashleaevans​ in the hot seat at the same time. 

So we have a TIE!!!!

Arisa: “Houseguests, the votes are in. We have a tie. @ashleaevans​, when you’re ready, please stand and cast your vote to evict.”

@ashleaevans​: “I am going to cast my vote for the bigger threat, and I need to do what’s best for my game. I have decided…

Arisa: “It’s official, @nomwastaken​ you are evicted. Come on out!”

Arisa: “The DE casualty! What happened?”

@nomwastaken​: “I have no clue! I have no idea why these people voted to keep @nerdphobic​ over me!”

Arisa: “What do you think is going on in that house?”

@nomwastaken​: “I think a lot of secret deals are going on, probably involving @nerdphobic​. How else would I go over him??”

Arisa: “It is a shame to see you go, but we’ll see you back here on finale night when you will help crown a winner!

Okay, but what about a Fruits Basket AU where Rukia lives with Urahara (as Shigure), Ichigo (as Kyo) and Uryuu (as Yuki)? Like, I just wanna fangirl with that idea

…

DUDE

Ihalf-heartedly thought about a Fruits Basket AU, and then you come here withthis idea.

Holyfucking shit.

Okay

Here wego

1. So, when Rukia lost her sister, Hisana,she stayed with her brother-in-law, Byakuya. However, he had to do somerenovations. Awkwardly, and so that Byakuya wouldn’t waste money on her, Rukiatold him she’d be okay living with a friend. Being, well, typical Byakuya, heaccepted without another question. Rukia totally lied. She didn’t have any friends and nowhere to go, soshe had the fantastic plan of living in a tent. You know how that goes.

2. Oneday, as she’s strolling in the forest where she lives, she finds a houseapparently in the middle of nowhere. She notices that there are ornaments ofthe 12 Chinese zodiac animals outside, so she stops to admire them. There, she meetsa blond man who owns the house. They talk about the ornaments, and theirconversation continues until Rukia asks why there isn’t a cat figure. The manasks him why she cares about the cat, and Rukia tells him that when she wasyoung, her sister used to tell her the story of the zodiacs, and that shewished she was of the year of the cat. The man looks at her intensely.

3. Suddenly, Uryuu, the most popular kid in school,arrives. It turns out that the man called Urahara and Uryuu are cousins. Beforeshe has time to think about it, Rukia ends up walking to school with Uryuu,which proves to be a big ass problem, since most of the girl population isin love with him (It’s what he deserves). They all start bullying Rukia abouther coming to school with Prince Uryuu. In this AU Rukia has no friends, soArisa and Saki don’t come to rescue her (though I kinda headcanon Rangiku andNemu taking these roles). Instead, Rukia tells the girls that nothing happened betweenUryuu and her, that they’re just classmates. They, very passive-aggressively,threaten her, but Rukia braves the storm. She believes she won’t come intocontact with Uryuu again. That’s a lie.

4. Rukia finds Uyruu in the locker room after schoolis over, and he walks with her. They talk about the zodiacs, and Rukia mentionsthe cat. Uryuu gets visibly upset and calls cats idiots. Rukia is surprised butcan’t say anything more when she has to get to her part-time work. Beforeleaving, Uryuu tells her she looks pale and that she should rest.

5. Rukia believes Uryuu is weird, but, ultimately,feels like she kinda understands him. Even though he’s popular, he’s lonelylike she is. Anyway, when walking home, she finds Urahara and Uryuu in theforest. She tells them she lives there, which they find weird since the wholeland is owned by their clan. Rukia explains her story, about how she had tolive in a tent due to Byakuya’s house being renovated. Urahara totally messes withher, which causes both Uryuu and Rukia to yell at him lol. Eventually, Uraharahears something and says a cliff has collapsed. They go to investigate, and yeah,the freaking cliff collapsed on top of Rukia’s tent. She has a melt downbecause the only picture she has of her sister is inside. Before starting todig up, she faints due to having a fever. Urahara takes her back to his house,and Uryuu stays behind, digging up her stuff. Back at his house, Urahara asksRukia why the photo is important to her. She says that the day Hisana died, shedidn’t say goodbye. That Hisana had been hiding her illness for some time, andthat Rukia never noticed. Rukia blames herself for going to school withoutgoing to see Hisana. They had fought over something silly during dinner, and soshe left the following day without even seeing Hisana. Rukia regrets fightingwith Hisana, because nothing should have mattered as much as her sister, whohad raised her after their parents had passed away.

6. Uryuu hears Rukia’s story. He feels like an idiot.He had never noticed his classmate had lived such a painful life. Uryuu decidedto live with Urahara instead of the main house, to escape his father’sexpectations, as well as the Clan. But believes that if he had truly wanted toleave, he would’ve lived in a tent much like Rukia. This conversation givesUrahara the idea that only Rukia can change the lives of the whole clan.

7. Next day, Urahara and Uryuu urge Rukia to live withthem. In exchange for living there without paying rent, Rukia will have to cookand clean for them, because the fuckers suck at doing this. Seriously, thehouse is a mess. “How can you be two grown men and don’t know how to cook basicmeals and clean?!” “Well, you see Kuchiki-san, a man such as myself doesn’thave the time to─” “You’re hopeless”

8. Sadly, before Rukia can move into her own room, aguy with obnoxious orange hair comes crashing down the freaking celling just tofight Uryuu. “You damn rat, come fight me!” “You’re gonna lose, stupid cat!”“NANDATO?!” Fed up with the juvenile and one-sided fight, Rukia tries to stopthem by pulling the orange haired guy, which is a big mistake, because the dudeturns into a cat right there and then. Urahara arrives at that exact moment andtries to stop himself from laughing, while Uryuu sighs. Rukia flips out andturns to ask Urahara and Uryuu what the hell is happening, when she trips andfalls on top of them. They turn into a dog and a rat respectively, and Rukiabelieves she finally lost it. They start speaking, and Rukia freaks even more.Urahara, as a dog, explains her that their clan is cursed by the zodiacs. Whenhugged by a member of the opposite gender, they transform into animals.Thankfully the transformation doesn’t last long, however, the downside is thatwhen they become humans again, they’re completely naked. *Cue transformationand Rukia screaming because she almost saw them bare*

9. The orange haired guy is named Ichigo, and he’sUryuu’s and Urahara’s cousin. Apparently he disappeared for four months totrain in the mountains, and fight bears. Rukia doesn’t know what tothink about him at first. He’s rude and loud and he hates Uryuu for whateverreason. She starts guessing it’s probably because in the story, the rat tricksthe cat, and that’s why the cat doesn’t belong in the zodiac. As for Ichigo, herightfully believes letting a girl live with them will carry even moreproblems, especially since she knows their secret.

10. Urahara talks with the clan’s head, Aizen, and helets Rukia continue living with them, which means her memory won’t be erased.He also makes Ichigo join the same school Rukia and Uryuu go to, which pisseshim off. It turns out Ichigo is a very shy person, yet he makes friends easily.This upsets Uryuu, who, even if popular, has no true friends. Rukia, then,discovers that their rivalry goes both ways, and that both are jealous of eachother. They’re idiots, as Rukia will later tell them, because the two are greatin their own way.

11. So Rukia continues living with the three, gettingto know them. Uryuu learned martial arts later than Ichigo, but he is stillbest at them. He prefers sewing, though. He’s very good at fashioning clothes,blankets and even stuffed animals. He makes a blue dress for Rukia to thank herfor everything she does for them. Meanwhile, Ichigo loves martial arts becausethey give him the strength to protect the people important to him. He teachesRukia some moves so she can protect herself, as she walks to the house byherself after her shift at part-time job is over. Uryuu and Ichigo actuallytake turns accompanying Rukia home. She hates the attention but when she’s withthem it’s the only time the two get along.

12. Over time, Rukia gets closer to them. She tries tosooth their worries by giving the same type of advice her sister used to giveher. She makes it clear both are worthy just as they are. If they want toimprove, it should be to become better people and not to please others. She isnothing but kind to them, and they are kind to her in return. Soon, they’reclose enough that it feels as if they had been friends their whole lives.

13. When the renovations are over, Byakuya calls Rukiato come back home. She doesn’t want to go with him, but she knows that she can’tstay with Urahara, Uryuu and Ichigo forever. So she goes but she’s miserable,because living with Byakuya involves living with his relatives, who all hateher as she doesn’t come from a rich and prestigious family. They somehow findout she was living with the guys all along, and call her a slut and ask her ifshe had been sleeping with them. Before she can’t react, Byakuya slaps theperson who insulted her, and tells them he won’t let them insult Rukia in hishouse. Then Rukia breaks down and says that’s the first time since Hisana’sdeath that Byakuya has looked her in the eye. Byakuya tries to comfort her andasks her if she feels comfortable living with him. She admits she wants to goback to living with Urahara, Uryuu and Ichigo.

14. Meanwhile, Uryuu and Ichigo feel like a part ofthem died when Rukia left. Urahara gives them her address, and they both rushout to find the house. Uryuu gets lost and it’s up to Ichigo to find the house.Though they fight the whole time, they feel that they are in the same boat asboth miss her. They eventually find Byakuya’s house just in time to listen howByakuya’s relatives insult her. The two get enraged because how dare they hatesomeone as amazing and kind as Rukia! But before they can act, they witness howByakuya defends her and asks her if she’s happy living with him. When they hearRukia confess she wants to go back, both go inside the house and tell Rukia she’salways welcomed to come back. Rukia nods with a watery smile.

15. As Uryuu collects her stuff, Ichigo takes Rukiaout of the house and scolds her for just living. If she had asked from thestart, they would have told her she could stay as long as she wanted. Rukiasays she didn’t mean to impose. Ichigo calls her an idiot and tells her she’llnever impose on them or be seen as a nuance. That he doesn’t see her as that.Then Uryuu returns and tells her he feels the same. She’s part of the familyalready, more than their own relatives have ever been. Rukia agrees to continueliving with them for as long as they will have her, and together they returnhome.

Obviously, there’s much more that can go on, but I don’twant to spoil others who might want to watch Fruits Basket.

This was so much fun! And I’m sorry I took so long. Atfirst I was going to write a few sentences but I decided this ask deserved muchmore! I love Fruits Basket and Bleach very much. Maybe later on I’ll actuallywrite the AU. But who knows.

Thanks again for the ask!

[keisuke-akm]

So in honor of the Fruits Basket reboot who would you say are your fave Furuba characters and ships (canon) and why? Least fave Furuba characters and canon ships and why?

Ah, thanks for the question (it’s going to be long, i’m sorry) 

Characters :

So, If I had to chose a character, I would say Akito without thinking.Without her, the story would be tasteless. I know she’s one of the worst character, she’s full of flaws and during the manga, she hurt everyone. But her relation with the characters makes that once you read her redemption arc, there will be at least one character that you agree with how they act during the manga or once the curse is over. (I’m mainly thinking about Isuzu, Tohru, Shigure, Hatori, Momiji, Kureno and Yuki)

Next I would say Machi and Kyoko too, maybe because both characters too is full of flaws but they learnt, like Akito, to change and to accept who they are. I already made a point in another post that Akito and Kyoko are very similar characters.I think I just love characters like that haha, it makes them humans ? That’s maybe why for a long time, I was really annoyed by Tohru because of her lack of flaws and that everybody loved her but since I reread Furuba I’m like, of course they would love her, she’s the only one who is not involved in the curse to treat them like normal people, if I were them, I would kill for Tohru if she tell me do to (but she will never, she’s a good girl uwu)

For my least fav, I would say Ren and the main Maid, but I think it’s cheating because they are written to be despicables characters. Though, I’m sure that if Natsuki Tayaka would write something with their point of views, i would probably enjoy them haha. (Anyway, It’s hard to pick a least fave characters because they are all well writtens haha).

But, I maybe have characters that leave me indifferent, like Ritsu or Mine. They are just ‘meh’ to me. I’m so sorry if there are people who really love them. No hate, i just dont really care about them haha.

For the ships, I guess judging by the unique furuba headcanon i’ve done, i’m head over heels in love with Akigure. Their relationship is so twisted, and I love how Shigure so manipulated everything so he can get Akito just for himself. And how need somebody like Shigure to makes her aware of her flaws because he is the only one who treat her like a human and not a god during the curse era. He does not fear her.Plus, the way their relationship is twisted at the start makes me wonder how they will make it work. I mean, I know that ships like Yuki/Machi or Kyo/Tohru will work perfectly , they understand each other and they licked each other wounds, they trust each other. But you really think that Akito or Shigure is ready to trust each other at 100% once they start going out again ? No, no. I think that’s why a lot of Akigure stand were unhappy with their end. They going to have a lot of struggles, but both want to be together, so they have to makes it work.

I really loved Katsuya/Kyoko (but I have to forget she married at 14-15yo, it fucking makes me uncomfortable).Yuki/Machi are goods to each other, I hope Yuki will take care oh my little girl.Kakeru/Komachi are adorables too, for the few time we saw them, Natsuki Takaya showed how much they loved each other.

My least fav ship would be Kureno/Arisa which is really forced. They saw each other 2 times before Arisa decide to leave everything to be with him. I understand it was for the story-tell so Kureno would feel the need to leave the Sohma’s estate, but it sound strange. It would have been better to start their relationship with friendship alchemy than lover alchemy.

i'm rude now | arisa | ch4 motive reaction

( cw: self-deprecation )

This fucking sucked, and nothing was fun about this. Sure, Arisa didn't have as hard of a time ranking her classmates to die as most other people probably had, but that didn't mean she took any enjoyment out of it. Well, other than the part where she put Haruto as #1. That was nothing but fun and satisfying. Putting her Sis and her Bro so low was nice as well since she was absolutely positive that other people would do the same thing. Hell, she was pretty sure she would be pretty damn low. She wasn't nice to this group for nothing.

....

She was in the top three.

Haruto ranked lower than her.

Wakana ranked lower than her.

Fucking Haruto ranked lower than her. 

Arisa felt her entire world grind to a halt. How was she supposed to react? What was she supposed to say? Everyone just hated her that much, huh? Everyone wanted her to die that much, huh?

More than a murderer, huh?

"..Wh....What...? H-How...?"

She was ranked #3 out of 14. She was so nice to all of these fucking losers and for what!? To be ranked in the top three!? People wanted her to die that fucking much!? HUH!?

"...I....I'm number three? I'm number three? You...You fucking hate me that much, huh? You hate me more than Haruto? You want me to die that bad...?"

"I'M NICE TO ALL OF YOU, AND YOU WANT ME TO DIE BEFORE A MURDERER!? How much have I fucking done for all of you! How much have I tried to do to keep everyone fucking happy and smiling in this absolute shithole!? I put all of my energy into making sure you're all alright and happy and smiling and content and not worried about a damn thing, and THIS IS THE THANKS I GET!?

NEXT TIME YOU NEED A GODDAMN SHOULDER TO CRY ON, IF YOUR FUCKING NAME ISN'T HOLOKAI, AZUSA, OR SHIBA, DON'T FUCKING TALK TO ME!!"

Arisa yells this, hands shaking and eyes glossy as she storms off, not wanting to listen to, hear, or see anything anyone might say or do in reaction to her outburst. Her shoulders are hunched forward as she walks, acting as a pitiful barrier between her and everyone else.

Once she's in her room, she slams the door shut behind her and collapses on the floor in tears, unwilling to let anyone see her break down. If they wanted to see her break, then they would have to try harder than this. She didn't want to hear a fucking knock on her door and some fake ass "oooooh, Arisa-chan, are you okay?" because obviously, no one actually liked her that much...

It feels almost...right that she had the conversation she did with Azusa when she came over earlier. She had grown too secure, she supposed, and this was just the universe reminding her of a fact she had known for years and had just barely begun to think of as untrue. How fucking stupid could she get for thinking her parents were wrong. Azusa said that she wouldn't forget her, but she hoped for her sake that she was wrong. She hoped that Kai could forget her, too, and she hoped that the video Mitsugi had sent her was forged and he had long since forgotten what her name even was.

She was going to die soon anyway. It didn't matter if people were around to save her since no one could. 

.....Why was she so scared to now? She...She didn't want...She didn't want to die....

Diary Entry 11 (Chapter 1)

So Mariko, you want me to share my true thoughts about everyone? Huh? You really do? Well strap in bitch, cause we’re gonna be here a while!

Let’s start with you. I knew, from the very first moment you called me useless, that I was going to hate you. You’re a manipulative, self-serving, I’d dare to say psychopath who’s a huge fucking hypocrite to boot. You love stirring up drama, but when the heat’s on you suddenly it’s not so fun anymore. You like feeling like you’re on top, like you’ve got everyone figured out and that you know just how to break them. It’s because you feel powerless otherwise, isn’t it? You’re small. Probably weak. You need to assert your dominance because otherwise you think you’re going to get trampled on. I know how it is. Still, take care of that doll, okay? I feel like- maybe there’s still hope for you. Not all bullies become raging assholes when they grow up.

Haruhi Nosaka, you’re a prick. I know your head’s so far up your ass that you can’t hear all the people calling you out for being one, but you are a prick. You’re a lot like Mariko, you know? You need to feel like you’re on top, that everyone’s under your foot, that you’re the one pulling the strings. It’s because you’re insecure, isn’t it? Don’t think I’m dumb enough to believe your eyepatch is just a fashion accessory, though they were popular last season. You’re probably ashamed about whatever’s hiding under there, right? And just like the family crest you’ve pasted on your eyepatch, you hide behind your family, wealth, and status to feel less like a complete shitshow over it. God, no wonder you’re so pretentious. You need someone easy to push down so you can pull yourself up. It feels good, doesn’t it?

Isamu, what do I even say about you? You’re a bully who values winning and athletics over actually being a decent human being. Maybe if you stop treating everyone like shit over not exercising enough or whatever, you’d actually have friends and wouldn’t have to be superficially happy? You won both times we fought, and I can’t say if you deserved to or not. I’m an asshole when I’m pissed, but that doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole to begin with.

Robyn next I guess. I- like you. You’re a good person, you know that? I feel like you just want to take care of people, and that’s a good trait for a doctor to have. Sure, you’re brash, abrasive, and cuss a lot more than I’d like, then again I wish I could cuss more. You give people sympathy but you tell them how to do better at the same time. Thank you for that.

Nori- you can be kind of annoying? Like, you’re a bit too physical for comfort sometimes, and it can be really hard to talk about more personal stuff with you. I like you, but everything just feels superficial...is that mine or your fault? Regardless, you’re a great gossip, I love talking shit about people with you in between bouts of normal conversation. Oh, and I’m sorry I cry so damn much. It’s my fault, not yours. Though the new scar on my hand totally was your fault, I just told you it was okay because I hate making you upset.

Hyosuke- why do I feel so awkward around you? I think it’s because you’re so closed off. We’re both closed off, not letting people in all the time. I wish I could open up more, but I’m just so afraid of hurting people or getting hurt...do you feel similarly to that? Regardless, I do think there are people here who’d be willing to like you if you let them in, so if you can, open up some more instead of hiding under all those layers of clothing. Seriously, are you that cold all the time? Why do you wear so many coats?

Arisa and Emi- I wish I had more to say about you guys, I really do, but I don’t. You’re both nice, good people, and Arisa thank you for the scissors. Emi, please take care of your son, and don’t let the people smack talking you keep you from loving him. And Arisa, I’m so sorry about Ryo and I’m glad you liked the memorial. I want to get to know each of you better.

Saori- I trusted you and you shattered that trust into a million pieces. Are you that fucking stupid? Do you really think that just because I told you about my anger issues it gives you the right to tell other people that I should beat Haruhi up? Insensitive bitch. Then again, maybe it’s my fault for giving away such sensitive information to someone I just met because we both agreed Haruhi is an asshole. I think most people here agree they’re an asshole anyway.

Mom- I’m sorry.

My clients- I’ve gone on about them before, but to recap for the new journal, I hate them. I hate their stuck-up attitudes, their entitlement, the way they treat everyone like crap out of ignorance or just plain assholeishness. I hate the fact that I constantly have to hide everything, because if I don’t they’ll destroy me. I hate the reason they like me so much. I hate how they think I’m so sweet, and how they use that to stroke their own egos about how great they are for buying my dresses when they’re working me to the bone.

No- no, I don’t hate what they think of me. I admit, I love being pitied. To be pushed around and kicked and beaten for being poor, a kid with a single mom, weak, girly, stuttering so much I could barely talk, to be treated like that for all those reasons my whole life and then have it all turn around because I’m useful? That’s what I hate. I bet that’s the reason I’m so pity hungry, first time in the spotlight and suddenly I’m being fawned over. It’s fucking fantastic. It’s led to my worst decisions and yet I can’t stop. It’s so good I can’t stop clawing after it, even when I know I don’t deserve it. I’m a monster, an actual fucking monster, one who can’t control his emotions and destroys his only friendship because god forbid he doesn’t get his pity fix, god forbid he doesn’t shut up and let her be happy even when he’s doing most of the work, but she has to get the credit because she’s the designer and THATS HOW IT WORKS YOU HUMAN TRASH NOW GET BACK IN LINE AND SHUT UP!

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, this is bringing out a lot of emotion I’m sorry I’m so sorry why can’t I stop apologizing they’re useless I’m useless god why the fuck am i pity mongering to a journal im the real shitshow. Okay, I’ve waited too long to finally get to this part but, Hana. I miss you. I’m never going to stop missing you. I wish you’d noticed what was happening, or that I actually grew a nerve and a few brain cells and fucking told you, but I just wanted you to be happy. That’s all I’ve ever wanted was to keep you smiling. I thought, in all my idiotic wisdom that if I took credit every now and then we could both be happy, I could keep you happy, but I went too far and now neither of us are happy. I’m such a fucking dumbass. You told me friends don’t hurt friends and even though we were seven and stupid I wanted to keep believing that a decade later but now I can’t. I can’t because I fucked up, and you’re the one person I’m never going to get pity from again. I can’t say I don’t blame you, but I can’t say I don’t still hope you’ll come back someday, that we could be friends again. I want to tell the world what happened but I can’t, not while Mom’s still alive, she needs me. Hell I don’t even know if I’ll be brave enough to do it when she’s dead, but I want to. I want it to all come crashing down because you fucking deserve to see me fall, and I’m going to Hell anyway so I might as well prepare myself.

[scrollsofeternity]

I believe our answer matters more than anything they say | Ami | Trial 6 | Re: Hisato, Azusa, Kushiko

Ami can't help but laugh at the justification for not frying her that Hisato has.

“Feh...so I’m still alive because you don’t mind me being in your space. How kind of you, old friend. And I’m surprised you didn’t keep that first name with how pretentious it was. Since you seem to enjoy sounding stupid!”

“You, with your stupid poetry, and your stupid fake six pack and two-toned hair, and being so...stupid. Stupider than me, and I stabbed someone when they asked me to. You cared for Sensei, and for Nakano-san, and you had people like Alphonse and Kushiko and Azusa who cared about you so much...you could have tried to reverse this, and you just...kept going because of your stupid self-hatred. You’re so stupid, Hisato.”

She can’t keep the sarcasm up so close, when she can see the traces of someone she had ice cream with and called a friend, especially when he shows that trace of emotion at Aina’s words. She was right--he’s no tyrant king, despite his posturing. As someone who tried to make everyone hate her enough to vote for her without question herself, she can see that. Sometimes, she hates being so softhearted that she can’t hate people she once cared about even when they stomp on her heart. 

“Our first conversation, we talked about us both having creative powers...and remember when we talked about how our families disapproved of us? That was nice, telling each other how we could live without their approval. To think we have so many similarities and yet we’re completely different...”

“There’s no point repeating your failures back to you when you know that. Everything I said to you before is true, and you’ve done things that are unforgivable, but...I know what it’s like to want to die more than anything. It’s one of the worst feelings in the world. It’s sad that you got to the point where that pain was all you could see...and sadder that you brought others into it. I can never truly forgive that, but...at some point, all I wanted was the four of us to walk out of here together. Kushiko, Alphonse, you, and me. ...you should know that.”

Ami doesn’t leave the circle. She’s not leaving the circle without Kushiko, the way she protectively takes her girlfriend’s hand says as much. She doesn’t know if she can leave this circle and this program with everyone she wants to take with her, but it’s a thought. 

  “I know she can make her own decisions. I wouldn’t bother speaking to her if I didn’t think she was.”

  The nature of a phantom thief is to grab all the treasures she can.

  “You made...a terrible mistake. But even good people do terrible things. That can’t just erase all the good you did before. Didn’t you tell me that, Azusa-chan? You should know why I can’t hate you. You also told me how you enable the people you love...I suppose that’s one of your primary flaws, isn’t it? But I understand. It’s difficult to avoid enabling someone who loves you. Even if the last thing they need is your enabling, when you see the world in someone it’s hard to admit they could be wrong. It’s the same love you told me I deserved better than when I told you about the woman who first broke my heart. Maybe the feelings are genuine, but what they do still manipulates and hurts people. He made Kushiko feel she had a friend and then pulled the rug from under her by deceiving her. People you both love got hurt. And you...did the same thing to me, and to Oshiro-san, and it hurts. But...you also were the one to bring people back. You meant it when you told me you considered me a friend. And if what you say is true, so did Hisato.”

“So even if you won’t listen, even if you throw yourself into the program, I won’t stop reaching out to you, Azusa-chan. I have to try and steal your dog back for you, and I want you to see the garden I wanted to make. I’d like to be able to play video games with you someday, since you say you know about them, and I’m still interested in what kind of hair you think would look good on me when you’re yourself. I’m always going to want you to come with us...Because you’re my friend.”

  “I want you to live. I want everyone to get out of this program--including those we’ve lost. Maybe it’s impossible and naive to think we still have that chance, and I’m making a fool of myself speaking to a tyrant and his lady who have already made up their minds. Even so, I’d rather be a fool who’s wrong than stand idly and never know if something could have changed or not. I want to try, even if it just means another failure.”

Her expression sets into something more determined as she keeps speaking, especially as others, like Shizuka, Chiharu, and Arisa, have yet to give up.

“I don’t think either of you are the same people who walked into this. Correct me if I’m wrong, Hisato, and that it was just another act, but when you rushed in to save Kushiko after she saved you...I thought I saw a man genuinely moved by an act of selflessness. And your goal for this changed from ‘no one kills me’ to ‘everyone kills me’...this whole display is just a desire for punishment."

“The people here will gladly give it to you, of course, whatever that looks like. There’s no denying your actions have consequences. I’m not sure I can stop you from the course you’re taking to your demise no matter what I say to you, but...if you truly want to make up for what you’ve done?”

  “Keep trying. Whether you live or die--and even if you die here, you’ll likely come back to face consequences in the real world anyway--let us keep your resources. If we have to keep the servers running for now to keep them alive, so be it, but we have to keep trying to get them back. Make the scientists keep working to put the brains that exist here back into their bodies-- get some actual doctors, even! Chiharu-san is right, we can hire as many people as we want, if the shitheads you hired won’t work with us! There’s your resources, her resources... and I have the Sakurayama family wealth and every other family I promised to rob. What’s to stop us from trying? No matter how long it takes, there has to be something to be done!  I refuse to believe that it’s impossible!”

  “And if you tell me no--fuck it, we’re trying anyway!”

Her piece said, Ami’s attention returns to solely being on Kushiko. She gently takes her hand, turning so Kushiko is looking at her rather than Hisato.

“Kushiko. I swear, we’re going to do everything in our power so Kata-san can leave here too. No matter how long it takes, no matter the amount of resources and money and research we have to pour into it...you’ll both see your parents again. I’ll dedicate my entire life to it if I have to..”

“You said you’d tear this place to the ground for me...of course I’d do the same for you, no matter what we have to face. We said we were going to depend on each other from now on, right?”

She knows Kushiko wouldn't hear her whispers of “It’s ok, dear, I know,” so she strokes Kushiko’s hair and holds her close to make the sentiment clear. Kushiko--the woman she loves, the woman Ami is determined to spend her life with--whatever others might say about her and whatever she might say about herself, countless times, Kushiko has been a hero to her, and one of the brightest lights that kept Ami going. 

She only found out recently that Elysium was a word that referred to paradise, a place of happiness. Perhaps it’s fitting that was what Kushiko introduced herself to Ami as, knowing what she’s become to her. Beside Kushiko is where Ami has been her happiest, and she hopes someday, the two of them will have that happiness together, far away from the kingdom that bears the name. Like they said, knights of the kingdom they’ll build together. 

For now, Ami will hold Kushiko through the pain as long as she needs her to.

A Name In The Wind (11/?)

Next chapter of ANITW, I hope you guys enjoy!

The moment Eli stepped foot into the sweet shop Honoka’s parents owned the smell of red bean paste hit her. It was a smell she would usually find comforting, given that it quite often clung to Honoka’s clothes but now it just brought a painful pang to her chest. “Eli-chan, what can I do for you?” Honoka’s mother was standing behind the counter and had noticed immediately when Eli had stepped into the shop. “Are you looking for Honoka?” “Um...no. I’m just here to pick Arisa up.” Eli answered awkwardly. Honoka hadn’t made an attempt to reach out to her since school had ended four hours ago so she didn’t especially want to speak to her either. “It’s um...getting dark and all. I don’t want her to walk home alone.” “You’re a good big sister.” Honoka’s mom looked over her shoulder, looking a little troubled. She heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs. “Ah, sounds like Arisa-chan is coming down now.” Yukiho and Arisa appeared a moment later, stepping out from the back. Both of them looked a little breathless.

“We managed to get her out of her uniform.” Yukiho told her mother. “We kept her shirt off because she’s burning up but she says she’s freezing so she’s under her blankets.” “I-I put a wet cloth on her head.” Arisa said quietly. “It felt good when Onee-chan did that, when I got sick.” Eli’s brow furrowed slightly in confusion as she tried to work out what was happening. “Thank you, Arisa-chan.” Hikaru said with a weak smile. “I’m sure Honoka appreciates it.” “Wait…” Eli murmured under her breath. She’d only seen Honoka a few hours earlier and she’d been fine. “What’s going on with Honoka?” “She went upstairs to take a nap when she got back and the moment she woke up she was burning up.” Hikaru answered, looking back toward Eli. “She’s been complaining about being sore too. Mostly her back but she says her whole body hurts.” “And she feels weak.” Yukiho contributed. “She can’t stand on her own. We even had to help her change. I’ve never seen her like this before. Even when she got sick last time she got right back on her feet. And it hasn’t even been raining or anything, she…” Her voice cracked and she cleared her throat, quickly reaching up to wipe her eyes. “The doctor is coming, right?” Hikaru nodded. “Your father went to pick him up.” She looked to Eli who was staring vacantly ahead. “We called for a home visit.” Eli swallowed thickly. “I’m going to see her. If that’s okay.” She didn’t wait for an answer before she left the room, hurrying up the stairs. She got to Honoka’s room and pushed open the door, finding the bedroom lit only by Honoka’s bedside lamp. Honoka was curled up on her side in her bed, breathing heavily. The blanket was pushed down so Eli could see sweat glistening on her skin. “Chika-chan, what...what did you do…?” Honoka whimpered, grasping her throbbing head. She let out a choked sob. “Eli-senpai...I want Eli-senpai. Please. Please...” Eli took a shaky breath. Honoka seemed delirious with her mutterings. Like she really thought she was talking to someone. What caught her attention though was the mention of Chika. “She’s real…” She mused to herself as she took a small step into the room. Honoka heard movement and looked up. “E-Eli-senpai…hey.” “Hey.” Eli moved without thought, kneeling on the floor next to Honoka’s bed. She brushed Honoka’s hair from her forehead and almost flinched at her temperature. “Shit…” “I don’t feel good.” Honoka mumbled, closing her eyes. “I woke up like this. I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” “You’ll be okay.” Eli whispered, gently stroking Honoka’s hair. “The doctor is coming.” Honoka met Eli’s eyes with some effort. “I saw Nozomi-chan’s note on my phone. I-I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about Chika-chan. What’s happening is so unfair. She treats you terribly and it makes me so angry, I-I...I hate her for hurting you. Why can’t it be anyone else she doesn’t like? It just had to be you. The person I want to be with m-more than anyone…” She trailed off, turning her head to press her face into her sweat dampened pillow. Eli felt her eyes sting with tears as Honoka sobbed quietly into her pillow. “I-It’s gonna be okay, Honoka.” “It’s not!” Honoka burst out, as strongly as she could. She flinched as pain shot through her head. She drew her face away from her pillow to look at Eli. “Nozomi-chan says you broke up with me. Or you want to. But I-I love you so much, Eli-senpai. Only you. I don’t want to be with anyone else, I just don’t know what to DO. I-I’m such a fucking…” “Hey, it’s okay.” Eli soothed as Honoka tearfully trailed off, hiccuping on sobs. “We’re NOT broken up, do you hear me? I’m here. I’m sorry, I-I should have listened to her. I should have seen it myself. I’m not going anywhere.” She wasn’t sure Honoka could even hear her. She quickly pulled out her phone and hurried to get into bed next to Honoka, drawing her close to her. Honoka’s skin was hot and damp to the touch. Her clothes and hair too. She was shivering from the cold though as she sobbed softly into Eli’s chest. Eli gently shushed Honoka, pressing her lips to her girlfriend’s head. She drew her cell phone from her pocket and urgently unlocked it. She found Nozomi’s phone number and called it quickly, lifting the phone to her ear. Nozomi answered after a couple of rings. “Hello?” Nozomi said tentatively when she answered the call. “Nozomi!” Eli exclaimed in relief. “Oh god, I thought you weren’t going to pick up. I need your help.” “After the fight we had, I thought you wouldn’t want to talk to me.” Nozomi said apprehensively. “What’s going on?” “Chika-chan is real. I know that a-and I’m sorry I didn’t believe you but you should have…” Eli trailed off. Her anger could wait. “Honoka’s really hurt. Physically. She’s sick. She’s really sick Nozomi and I don’t know what to do. You know about this spiritual stuff, what do I do?!” Nozomi looked down at the tarot cards she’d been mindlessly lining up. Lifting one upright, she winced. “The Tower...shit, the brat’s really upset the spirits.” “Nozomi, PLEASE!” “Just be there for her. Is the doctor coming?” Nozomi asked, getting to her feet. “Y-Yeah. Is she going to switch again?” “No.” Nozomi said quietly, glancing over at Umi who’d elected to stay with her. “The spirits are angry. Unfortunately because of Chika-chan’s actions Honoka-chan will suffer.” Umi’s gaze snapped toward Nozomi. “What?” “O-Okay. I have to go.” Eli said as Honoka’s trembling got worse. She hung up and tossed the phone aside, wrapping her other arm around Honoka instead. “It’s okay. I’m here.” After a few minutes Eli heard footsteps and looked up to see Honoka’s parents enter with the doctor. She moved to get up but Honoka’s mom stopped her with a hand on her shoulder. “Just keep hold of her. It’s fine, isn’t it?” Hikaru looked to the doctor who gave a nod of approval as he stepped closer to the bed. As he went about his examination, Eli stayed where she was, gently stroking Honoka’s hair to soothe her. “It hurts…” Honoka mumbled, pressing closer to Eli. “I know.” Eli brushed her lips against Honoka’s forehead. “I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere, I swear.” ---- “I should go over there.” Umi fretted, pacing back and forth in front of Nozomi. “If Honoka is sick I should be there.” “Her girlfriend is with her.” Nozomi said softly. “I don’t think she wants anyone but Elichi right now. Besides, it’s late. We can’t go out, your parents will kill me. I’m still surprised they agreed to let you stay over on a school  night…” “Y-You’re right.” Umi stuttered, nervously wringing her hands away. “I would probably just get in the way if I was there. This is my fault anyway. I shouldn’t have let Chika kiss me.” “You wouldn’t get in the way. But Honoka needs Elichi right now. And Eli needs her. She’s only just seeing how serious this is.” Nozomi said with a sigh. She stood up and took both of Umi’s hands, leading her back to the bed. She sat down, tugging Umi with her. “And it’s not your fault. This has been coming for a while…” Umi relaxed as Nozomi gently rubbed her back. “I still feel like I should be the one who’s with her. She’s my best friend. I know Eli is her girlfriend but I love Honoka. More than anyone else. She’s been my best friend since we were kids!” “I’m sorry, Umi-chan.” Nozomi said softly. She could understand where Umi was coming from, to some extent. “But girlfriend has best friend beat. And...I’m not sure you really get how much Elichi loves Honoka. You might be wrong about loving her more.” Umi sighed heavily, her shoulders slumping. “You don’t understand…” “I do. I really do.” Nozomi said, her hand stilling on Umi’s back. “I understand better than you think. Elichi is my best friend, remember? I would want to do the same if she was sick or hurt. But I would want someone to tell me that it’s not a good idea. That I’m not the person she needs. If Elichi was sick she would need Honoka-chan.” Umi frowned down at the floor beneath her feet. She didn’t know what she could say to that. To a degree she knew that Nozomi was right. “Maybe I should call Kotori to tell her what’s happening. She’ll want to know.” “Wait until tomorrow.” Nozomi advised gently. “You don’t want to panic her, right?” “I’m panicking.” Umi mumbled. She let Nozomi draw her into a warm embrace and sighed softly, closing her eyes. “You’re warm…” “Oh, you like my boobs, huh?” Nozomi teased as Umi rested her head against her shoulder. “Shut up.” Umi mumbled, closing her eyes. She had to admit, she was exhausted but she didn’t know if she’d be able to sleep. Despite her concerns, as Nozomi began to run her fingers through her hair, she found herself beginning to nod off and jerked awake after a moment. “Let’s go to bed.” Nozomi said softly as she got to her feet. Luckily the two had already changed so it took very little effort for them to get into bed. Nozomi was surprised when Umi slid right up to her but upon thinking about it she supposed that it made sense that Umi would want to be close to someone. She was probably worried about Honoka, just as Nozomi herself was. Nozomi curled an arm around Umi and closed her eyes, letting her tiredness overwhelm her. ----- Arisa jolted awake suddenly, realizing that she had dozed off for a few minutes. Unlike when she had fallen asleep though. Yukiho wasn’t by her side. Arisa tiredly got to her feet and padded her way across Yukiho’s bedroom, opening the door. She stepped out into the hallway and spotted Yukiho at the other end, peering into Honoka’s bedroom. “Yukiho-chan?” She whispered as she approached the girl. Yukiho didn’t show any sign of hearing her and Arisa looked past her into the bedroom. Her sister and Honoka were seemingly sleeping, Honoka curled into Eli’s arms. It was clear that Honoka was sleeping fitfully, her face flushed and clammy. On closer inspection, Arisa could see that Eli was gently rubbing Honoka’s back to soothe her. She looked to Yukiho and found her anxiously biting her lip. “Are you okay?” Yukiho gave a simple shake of her head. “I’ve never seen her like this before. She’s so weak.” Arisa swallowed thickly. It concerned her too. Everyone else felt the same way, she was sure. “Th-The doctor said it’s probably just a strong flu though, right? And the medicine he gave her should help.” “I-I don’t know, Arisa.” Yukiho stuttered, glancing at the blonde. “I heard mom and dad talking about the hospital. They said she’s probably dehydrated so if she’s not strong enough tomorrow they’re going to take her in. And the doctor said if she doesn’t get better there’ll have to be more tests. Blood tests and x-rays...” Arisa wasn’t sure what to say to that and she fell silent for a moment as she thought. “Honoka-san is strong. She’ll get better.” “Look…” Eli piped up from the bed, turning to look at Yukiho and Arisa. “Just come in. Both of you.” Yukiho and Arisa shuffled into the bedroom, moving to stand at Eli’s side. Eli noticed Yukiho’s worried gaze as she stared at Honoka. “She’s fine. She’s cooling down a bit, I think.” Yukiho nodded as she watched Honoka. Even under the blankets, she was still shivering from the cold and she was fully dressed now. “Do you think she’ll be okay?” “Of course I do.” Eli said, forcing a smile to her lips. “Listen, why don’t you two sleep in here tonight? The bed isn’t big enough for all of us but if you want to sleep with Honoka, I can sleep in the futon on the floor with Arisa.” “No, I um...I want to stay in the room but you should stay with her. It seems like you make her feel better.” Yukiho said with a shake of her head. “We can sleep together then, Yukiho-chan?” Arisa asked hopefully, glancing at the futon set out on the floor and the blankets nearby. She wondered why it was there, given that Eli was sleeping in the bed with Honoka. She quickly realized that it might have been from the previous nights when they were staying over. “We always do.” Yukiho answered with a small smile. She was glad to have Arisa by her side at least, offering words of reassurance when Yukiho’s fears got the best of her. “What?” Eli narrowed her eyes at Yukiho though it was clear she was just teasing. “Not like you and Onee-chan!” Yukiho said quickly. Unlike her parents it hadn’t taken her long at all to see the newly developed relationship between her sister and the third year. “I’ll be keeping an eye on you.” Eli teased with a smirk as Yukiho and Arisa moved to finish setting the futon up. “I don’t get it.” Arisa mumbled as she slid down onto the futon. Yukiho gave a gentle laugh as she lay down next to Arisa, throwing the blanket over the two of them. “You don’t have to.” Eli smiled as her sister grumbled in complaint. She turned her attention back to Honoka, gently kissing her heated forehead. Honoka seemed to sigh in her sleep but she didn’t wake. It seemed like the medicine she’d taken had really knocked her out. She settled down for what would undoubtedly be a sleepless night. She didn’t want to sleep, for fear that she would miss something happening with Honoka and she wouldn’t be able to help. ---- Maki wasn’t at all happy about being awoken in the middle of the night. And on a school night no less. She reached for her ringing phone, vaguely noticing it was Eli calling her. “Hello?” “Hey, Maki. Sorry to wake you up.” Maki had been intent on lecturing Eli about calling her at such a late hour but she paused at the tremble in the girl’s voice. “It’s fine. You okay?” “Not really.” Eli admitted. She cleared her throat before she continued. “Honoka’s sick.” Maki paused at that, noticing the catch in Eli’s voice. “How sick?” “Um...the doctor says he doesn’t think it’s serious but she’s burning up and she’s really weak.” Eli answered, her voice taut with emotion. “M-Maybe if I told you her symptoms you could tell me what you think?” “Well I’m not a doctor…” Maki said reluctantly. Her parents were and she’d learnt some things from them though. “I’ll try.” “Thank you.” Eli sighed in relief. “Um...she has a fever. A really bad one. She’s burning up but she can’t stop shaking. And she says she’s sore all over. Her back and head mainly. And she said it hurts to breathe sometimes.” “Maybe the flu?” Maki asked uncertainly. “Does she have a sore throat or anything?” “No…” “A headache? Is she sleeping a lot?” “Yeah, both of those.” Eli answered quickly. “Her head was really bothering her earlier.” “Sounds like the flu.” Maki said, a bit more confident than the first time she’d said that. “Maybe it’s just a bad case of it. Don’t worry, I’m sure Honoka’s going to be fine. She’ll need a couple of days off from school but she’ll be okay.” “Right…” Eli murmured, biting her lip. “I’m sorry I called. I probably sound like a panicky girlfriend. I just hate seeing her like this.” Maki was silent for a moment as she considered what to say. She supposed it was a bit strange that she was talking to Eli about the person she’d almost ended up dating herself. “It’s fine. Are you going to be okay?” “Yeah, I’ll be fine.” Eli took a deep breath to compose herself. “Goodnight, Maki.” “Yeah, goodnight…” Maki waited until Eli ended the call before she placed her phone back on her bedside table. Sighing, she lay back down just as Kotori turned over next to her. “Who was on the phone?” Kotori mumbled tiredly, curling her arm around Maki’s waist. “It was Eli.” Maki answered softly. She paused as Kotori lightly nuzzled her neck. “Why?” Kotori asked quietly. “Is something wrong?” “No...well yes. Maybe.” Maki paused, biting her lip. She would have prefered to tell Kotori the next morning so the girl didn’t lose sleep by worrying but she couldn’t keep what Eli had told her from Kotori, of all people. Honoka was her best friend. “Honoka’s sick. With the flu, the doctor thinks. Eli was just freaking out. It seems like it’s hit Honoka pretty hard.” “She’ll be fine.” Kotori mumbled, pressing herself close to Maki. “Honoka-chan always bounces back from stuff like this really quickly.” “Mmhm.” Maki lay there for a while longer, staring at the ceiling. She couldn’t help but think that it was odd that Honoka wasn’t exhibiting the two main symptoms of the flu. “I have to look something up.” She slipped out from under Kotori’s arm and crossed the room to her bookshelf where she kept the medical books she liked to browse through. She took down a neurology book and sat down at her desk, opening it in front of her. She cast a brief glance back to Kotori, finding her girlfriend had gone back to sleep. She was glad of that at least. Kotori didn’t seem worried at all. Unlike her, for some reason. She turned back to the book, quickly scanning through the pages until she found what she was looking for. “Damn it…” ---- “Here you go, Chika-chan.” Riko sat down at the edge of Chika’s bed and gently pressed a glass of orange juice into her hands. “Make sure you drink it. It’ll make you feel better.” “Thanks.” Chika said softly, offering a small smile. She took a sip of the orange juice and sighed softly. She’d felt a bit groggy when she’d woken up and she’d had a bit of a headache but that was all. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you.” “You didn’t.” Riko hurried to reassure Chika but winced at the way her response sounded. “I mean I was worried. Everyone was. But it wasn’t your fault.” “I think it might have been…” Chika mumbled under her breath, lowering her gaze. “What?” “Ah, nothing.” Chika looked up again, flashing a somewhat unconvincing smile. “Where is Kanan-chan?” Riko’s face fell at the question but she answered anyway. “Um...I’m not really sure. She was around a while ago but then she left. I can go and find her if you want me to…” “No!” Chika reached out and grabbed Riko’s hand to keep her from getting up. “I want you here. I’m okay. I’ll speak to Kanan-chan later but I don’t want you to leave right now.” “O-Oh…” Riko looked down at her lap, smiling softly to herself. At least Chika still wanted her company. “Can I ask you something?” “Of course.” Chika said without hesitation. “Um...last night, after we finished talking…” Riko bit her lip, pausing for a minute. “I um...I saw you. With Kanan-chan.” Chika’s eyes widened in surprise. “O-Oh…” “Yeah, um…” Riko glanced back at the door, briefly in case anyone entered. “D-Did you sleep with her? If you don’t mind me asking.” “No!” Chika exclaimed hurriedly. “No, of course not. I just made out with her. It didn’t mean anything. I was frustrated, that’s all. I’m not dating Kanan-chan. And I don’t like anyone, I swear.” “I see…” Riko said quietly. Chika kicked herself. “Riko-chan, I’m...I haven’t been entirely honest with you. The truth is I-I do like someone. I like y-” “Chika, you’re awake!” Chika cursed under her breath as Kanan chose that moment to burst into the room with Dia right behind her. “Uh...yeah. I’m fine now. I think I was just feeling a bit tired or something.” Kanan smiled warmly at Chika as she reached her side. Taking Chika’s hand, she glanced over at Riko in time to see her glare at her. “You okay?” “Fine.” Riko said, forcing a smile to her lips. “I’m fine.” Dia raised an eyebrow at that as she stepped closer to the bed. “You’re feeling better then?” “Much. Thank you.” Chika said quietly. She gave Kanan’s hand a light squeeze, unwilling to push her away. She didn’t want to hurt her feelings and she knew that Kanan must have been worried about her. “You don’t feel dizzy or anything?” Kanan asked in concern. There was more she wanted to ask, like why Honoka had passed out but she couldn’t. Not in front of Dia and Riko. She settled for staying as close to Chika as she could. “I’m fine.” Chika said softly, looking toward Kanan. “I promise.” “How are you feeling?” Kanan asked quietly, lowering her voice. “About...you know?” Chika gave a short, bitter laugh. “Let’s just say I don’t think I ever want to meet Honoka-chan in real life.” She was sure Honoka would be furious with her. That if they ever met in real life Honoka would actually hit her. Dia frowned. “Well...sadly that’s never going to happen.” “What?” Chika looked up in confusion as did Kanan. “Why not?” “Wow, you guys really are terrible Muse fans.” Dia muttered, shaking her head in dismay. “Everyone knows there are only eight Muse members now.” Chika’s stomach dropped with dread. “What?” Dia sighed loudly. It was like she had to spell it out for her. “Kousaka Honoka is dead.” TBC.

[iasfuturekings]

Could you elaborate on why those certain characters from past games would be the Nohr Siblings' favorite characters? Some I can easily see but others I'm having trouble understanding.

Sure!

Xander - Seliph from FE4 - Seliph’s story is more or less the kinds of stories that Xander loves. Maybe he’s projecting.

Diantha - Edain (Aideen) from FE4 - Birds of a feather stick together.

Marius - Oscar from FE9-10 - To counterbalance his overenthusiasm, he likes calm reasonable people (Oscar and Nichol are also similar)

Jeremiah - Soren from FE9-10 - Finally, someone who hates people just as much as he does.

Damian - L'Arachel from FE8 - her fun personality brings tears to his eyes.

Thomas - Leanne from FE9-10 - He likes sweet gentle characters, and really loves her sassiness (he only wishes he could do that).

Roswitha - Lucia from FE9-10 - Loves noble female swordswomen of all kinds. I’d imagine if she lived longer, she’d some get in a situation where’d she cut her hair short, too.

Camilla - Nils from FE7 - Nils just brings out her sisterly protective side.

Liselotte - Ricken from FE13 - She likes his earnestness. He’s also her type, but she can’t let anyone know that she actually likes people.

Azura - Seth from FE8 - She doesn’t ask for much, just a guy who would be honorable and kind.

Anri - Gaius from FE13 - A loveable rogue who loves candy? Sign him up!

Arisa - Florina from FE7 - Florina is cute as fuck. She will date the hell out of Florina.

Emil/Mila - Hector from FE7 - They really love axes. Like, really, really love axes. They also like stacked muscles. I mean, there’s Titania (a close second), but damn, Hector.

Leo - Marisa from FE8 - Straight and to the point most of the time, compared to his two retainers and the rest of his family.

Elise - Marcia from FE9-10 - Marcia is bubbly, confident, and very sensible, well most of the time anyways. What’s not to love about her?

Renny’s BBSim: First Boots Week 5

Welcome back to Biiiiiiiiiig Brother!

@ashleaevans @bathroom-sand @kaysarswhore @kayysarridha @kelleekim @lahallucinations @maxdoesbb @misshoh @music-obsessednerd @nerdphobic @nomwastaken @pawn2393 @phylisisley @remember-caltoru @rennyforpresident @shaolinbynature

Previously, @kaysarswhore upset the whole house by winning HOH after becoming public enemy number 1. She used her HOH to take out her biggest threat, @music-obsessednerd. But now that she’s not in power any more, will her alliance keep her safe for another week? 

These alliances are some of the fakest I’ve ever seen, because none of these people are voting together and all of these people still act like they’re working with each other. When will shit finally hit the fan?

Sliding across these slopes is hard work, but a few of our houseguests succeed! Here are the ones who didn’t:

These five all struggle to get going, and eventually end up in last place with nothing to show for it. However, one person chooses to go solely for the safety jug, and fills that up sacrificing their run at HOH.

@pawn2393​ secures his safety for the week, but comes in 6th!

@nerdphobic​ knows he has no shot at winning this, so he goes for the $10,000 instead. He barely beats out @nomwastaken​, who was also gunning for it

@nomwastaken​: “These Block Destroyers are really starting to piss me off. First you all refuse to vote together, now none of us are going to be in power this week? Nice. Real nice.”

It’s a close competition, but one competitor takes the edge against the others. Will @remember-caltoru​ win for the Fearsome Four? Will @shaolinbynature​ win for her final2 deal? Or will @lahallucinations​ win her first competition of the summer and shake this house up? The winner ends up being...

@lahallucinations​! Congratulations, you have secured your safety for the week (and a spot in jury!) and earned the right to nominate two of your fellow houseguests for eviction.

Immediately after the comp, @kaysarswhore​ looks defeated, and royally pissed at her alliance.

@kaysarswhore​ in the DR: “So, knowing my life was on the line, @nerdphobic​ and @nomwastaken​ chose to go for the money, and @pawn2393​ chose to go for the safety. @misshoh​ was barely trying, so the only person left on my side is @remember-caltoru​! And there’s no way HE would have had my back this week! All of my allies are cowards who clearly don’t care about me in this game.”

At the nomination ceremony, everyone pretty much knows what’s happening. @lahallucinations​ stands and makes her decision.

@lahallucinations​: “I have decided to nominate you @rennyforpresident​ and you @kaysarswhore​. @kaysarswhore​, you have been nothing but trouble from the beginning. You’ve been the ringleader of this house, and you’ve been at the center of all the drama so far. I’m nominating you in the hopes that you leave this week, I’ll be honest about it. As for you, @rennyforpresident​, I know no one is voting you out because everyone in here vibes with you. You’re simply a pawn. This nomination ceremony is adjourned.”

@rennyforpresident​: “I don’t feel bad at all. Everyone in here is ready for @kaysarswhore​ to go, so if it’s us up there on eviction night, I feel pretty good about my chances to stay.”

@kaysarswhore​: “This means game on. I’m not afraid to go up against anyone in this house, and I’ll use any means necessary to stay this week. I will lie cheat and steal to make it to the end, and if that means throwing @rennyforpresident​ under the bus? Sorry not sorry.”

Later on, it’s time to pick players for the veto competition

@lahallucinations​ is up first and draws houseguest’s choice! She shockingly chooses @misshoh​ to play

@lahallucinations​: “What these people don’t know is that I have deals all over this house. I’ve been playing since the start. Who I don’t have a deal with is @misshoh​, and by picking her to play, I’ve sewn a seed of distrust between her and all of her allies. Now I just have to await harvest *wink*”

@rennyforpresident​ continues by choosing @nomwastaken​, and gets a little sad when he pulls his chip. Lastly, @kaysarswhore​ pulls @phylisisley​, and she in turn gets sad after that. Looks like neither of the nominees are happy with their picks.

After the competition, everyone lines up in the backyard to reveal the times of the houseguests. In last place, with a time of 19:01

@kaysarswhore​ in the DR: “I cannot believe I took that long. I look like a fucking joke right now”

In fifth place, with a time of 11:18

In fourth place, with a time of 7:55

That means it’s down to three. In third place, with a time of 6:03

(who’s dick do I gotta suck to win a friggin comp i swear)

Will @nomwastaken​ win another veto for his alliance? Or will @lahallucinations​ secure all of the power this week? The winning time, 5:31, beating out the second place time of 5:41, belongs to...

@lahallucinations​! You have won the veto and earned complete power this week!

@lahallucinations​ in the DR: “AAAAAHHHHH!!! This was my week to show these people that I came to play, and I am SO EXCITED that I’m doing it! Everyone better watch out, because the comp beast is HERE!”

Later in the HOH room, @rennyforpresident​ approaches @lahallucinations​ and begs for the veto.

@rennyforpresident​: “I am BEGGING you, I need to stay. If you take me down, I got your back forever. I have no one left in this house.”

@lahallucinations​: “I’ll think about it. I can’t make any promises yet.”

The next morning, @kaysarswhore​ does the same thing, but with a different approach.

@kaysarswhore​: “If this veto isn’t used on me, I swear to god you’ll be number one on my radar. I got out @music-obsessednerd​ and I’ll take you out next.”

@lahallucinations​: “Like I told @rennyforpresident​, I’m not making promises. Get out of my room”

Will either of their pleas work?

At the veto ceremony, @lahallucinations​ stands and makes her decision

@lahallucinations​: “This week has been fun, but also scary. It’s a lot of responsibility to have, and it’s been tough. I’ve listened to both of you, and I’ve made up my mind. I have decided...

The plan is still in place, and the nominees have been finalized.

The next day, the house decides to give their biggest enemy a goodbye celebration. First,

@ashleaevans​ flips the mattress, runs to the kitchen, grabs the ketchup bottle, and writes “SEE YOU NEVER!! ;)” all over the sheets. When @kaysarswhore​ finds her bed in such disarray, she knows exactly who did it. 

@kaysarswhore​: “ @ashleaevans​! You sack of shit! I’ll never forgive you for doing that to my bed! I had CUSTOM SHEETS and you KNOW THAT”

@ashleaevans​: “Sorry not sorry!! You’re a beast and you know it! I was just trying to make your bed match your face!”

The two get heated, but before they can get too heated, @shaolinbynature​ jumps in as well

@shaolinbynature​: “Don’t act all innocent, we all know you hate us with all of your being. AND we all know it was you who flipped my bed a few weeks ago!”

@rennyforpresident​ sits on the couch and watches silently like

This fight continues all night, and @ashleaevans​ and @shaolinbynature​ make a vow not to talk to @kaysarswhore​ until eviction night

Speaking of Eviction Night

Arisa: “Good evening houseguests! How is everyone doing?”

The house smiles and acts like they like each other because you know you’re on TV and don’t want to look that mean to each other

Arisa: “Don’t lie! We know you all hate each other! *houseguest laughter* Tonight, let’s head straight to the vote. We don’t need to waste time. But, as always, let’s hear the final speeches from the nominees.”

@rennyforpresident​: “Hi guys! So I know this isn’t ideal, but I hope you all vote for me to stay! I haven’t won anything, I’m not a threat, and I have none of the social connections that @kaysarswhore​ has. No matter what though, no hard feelings, and I hope you all play hard!”

@kaysarswhore​: “I’ll make this simple. Keep me and know that I’m on your side. My alliance-members know I have their back, and I’ll be loyal to the end. As for the people who aren’t in my alliance, I couldn’t care less about you, but I hope you keep me anyway!”

Arisa: “As always, nice work. Let’s vote!”

@ashleaevans​, of course, votes to evict @kaysarswhore​. The two hate each other, and it would be shocking to see her vote the other way. But it looks like @kaysarswhore​‘s speech might have worked...

The Block Destroyers are finally voting together! All of them vote to keep their ally, and send @rennyforpresident​ packing.

@phylisisley​ is voting out, once again, @kaysarswhore​. She knows she can never work with her, and @rennyforpresident​ is her friend! She’d never vote to evict him unless she had to. But it looks like her vote won’t be enough to save him

@remember-caltoru​ finally decides to go with his alliance when he realizes that the alliance is the only thing getting him further in the game. It’s gotten him this far, why not stick with it? @kelleekim​ and @shaolinbynature​ are the surprise votes of the night! @kelleekim​ says, “you’re just too dangerous! I can work with chaos, but I can’t work with the unknown. And you’re the unknown.” @shaolinbynature​ says, “This whole thing was a ruse and I know it was you who flipped by bed. Go to hell, and get out of my house.”

Arisa: “When I reveal the name of the evicted houseguest, they will have one minute to gather their belongings, say their goodbyes, and exit the Big Brother house.”

Arisa: “Come one out, @rennyforpresident​!”

Arisa: “Why are you sitting her? Wasn’t @kaysarswhore​ the obvious vote?”

@rennyforpresident​: “She was! She just had her claws in too many alliances, and there was no way to compete with that. I told @lahallucinations​ it was dumb to put me up as a pawn, but she refused to listen.”

Arisa: “What do you think you should have done differently?”

@rennyforpresident​: “Stayed with the Fearsome Five! I don’t know why I left, it made no sense looking back. If I had stayed and made better friends with them, I would still be in there.”

Arisa: “You’re the last player voted out before jury; who are you rooting for to win it all?”

@rennyforpresident​: “I can see myself rooting for @ashleaevans​! He takes no shit, and I can see him running this game down the line. He’d be my pick.”

Arisa: “It’s a shame to see you go so soon, but we loved having you back!

Next week, jury begins. How will this change the game? For now, from outside the Big Brother house, I’m Arisa Cox, and remember, someone is aaaaaaaalways watching!”

Y’ALL FAKES VOTED ME OUT WHY why do i never make it to jury in my own sims lmao

to reclaim what's rightfully mine || chiharu || trial 6

There is a moment - a long one, that she works through the details of and meticulously plots - where Chiharu Maki accepts that she is simply going to have to live in Elysium now. When she thought that woman next to her was nothing more than a ghost, or something from the next life, she could force herself to look forward and move on with nothing but the memory of Shizuka -- but how can she do that, knowing that it’s her? That eventually, someday, Shizuka will remember every moment they’ve spent together, and she’ll remember them completely and utterly alone.

She can’t.

She can’t leave Shizuka behind.

She can’t leave Shizuka alone.

So she does think to herself, I may as well get used to living here.

It shows on her face; the utter defeat. The sinking despair of someone who has lost everything, refound it, only to have it slip through her fingers yet again like fine grains of sand. She can barely register Aria pulling on her hand, or Shizuka gently rubbing her back. Ahh, she really isn’t going to get to leave, and do all the things she promised. That letter for Holly, and that stealth fund she was going to set up for Motoko--

…

And then Chiharu looks across the room, and her cracking mind registers the sight of Hisashi Shimizu.

…

He’ll probably drag me through the portal.

… So maybe Chiharu won’t live in Elysium.

Her hand seeks out Shizuka's. Just like when they were children, and she had to comfort the other girl, Chiharu looks at her, and she smiles -- gently, warmly, like Shizuka is the only person in the world. And she squeezes her hand reassuringly, before looking away.

“I’ve decided,” she announces to absolutely no one. “I’ve decided fuck this, actually.”

Arisa can handle Azusa - there’s no one here better suited for that task than their bitchy blonde cheerleader. Sheer determination and a penchant for stubbornness; traits the two of them have always shared. Maybe they're just too stupid to know better, but that has never and will never stop Chiharu.

Chiharu turns her gaze on Hisato Kaneshiro. For the last time.

“You’ve been wrong about every single fucking thing in here. You were wrong with every motive ‘cause you learned all your psychology from some 15 year old on a subreddit, and you were wrong with all your kin assignments while you tried to build your cringe fantasy world with us like we’re dolls instead of human fucking beings, and you’ve been wrong with your grade school understanding of humanity and love. You act like you’re big shit, but you’re a fucking idiot, and you’ve proved that with everything you’ve done here.”

“Like, what the fuck? I’m supposed to listen to a redditor? I’m supposed to sit here and take the words of some shitty larper with simps crawling all over him at face value? No! Fuck you!”

The more Chiharu speaks, the louder her voice becomes. Frustrated, heated, and completely and utterly done. There hasn't been a lack of emotion from her during this trial, but this time, the anger and betrayal are backed up with a motivation born from the strongest emotion she's ever felt, and one she's felt for her entire life.

Funny, how the most passionate she's ever become is when spurned by her love for Shizuka.

“You write fucking poems! What the shit do you know about the human body?! Nothing! Abso-fucking-lutely nothing! If we can’t wake them up right away then good news! I’m rich, Kaneshiro! I’ll burn through my entire bank account and open a hundred lines of credit until I find a programmer, a doctor, a someone who actually knows what they’re talking about and can wake them up. You built a shitty little cave that glitched ‘cause there were too many people in it! It’s not gonna be hard to root through that and fucking fix whatever the fuck is the reason they can’t leave! You haven’t known shit since we came here and this is just gonna be another one of those things.”

She scoffs, loudly, hands in white knuckled fists.

“-- I fucking hated taking film anyway. I’ll start medical school if I have to, and I’ll prove you wrong. It -- it’s pathetic, y’know? How little you know about love. That you think there is a single force on this planet that will keep me from living a happy life with my Shizuka. And that you clearly have never been loved in your life, ‘cause you don’t know how unstoppable a parents love is.”

“I’ll spend the rest of my life proving you wrong, Kaneshiro. But it won’t take that long, ‘cause Funai-sensei is gonna be out of here in time to watch their daughter graduate high school. These servers will keep them alive long enough for us to wake them up.”

Her hands slam on her podium, and she points -- but not at Hisato.

At Alphonse.

“You! I’m waking you up and you’ll get the chance to learn that people actually love you, and  not this self destructive bullshit he says he’s doing. You’re waking up, and I’m teaching you how to use a cell phone, and maybe I’ll regret that when you keep calling me at 3 AM over random bullshit and you keep falling for scam calls about your bank account but I’m still gonna fucking do it because I care about you and you’re my friend!”

 He probably didn't understand half of those words. It's fine! Chiharu is done! She doesn't care about this anymore. She throws her hands into the air.

“So fuck you! Fuck this! I’m done listening to you be wrong about everything and I’m done humouring you and letting you think you’re hot shit! Hurry up and go die so I can go get a medical degree! Until then I’m gonna go fucking listen to Aria play the guitar! Fuck!”

Therefore You and Me | Trial 4 | Wakako ft. Hisashi | Hisashi | Re: Trial Results

She was clinging to Azusa. The whole time she didn’t look at anyone, just buried in her shoulder and ignoring the world. Just for this moment she ignored everyone and took in the feeling of Azusa being there. She will deal with Arisa, with Chiharu, with Hisashi, she’ll deal with all that later…

Is what she would say to herself if a ‘later’ would exist for her.

‘Later’ will never come though. 

  For a moment the world warped and colors shift. Maybe that’s what happens when your life suddenly flashes in your mind. A panic attack started and finished in a matter of seconds. 

Wakako is going to die and there is nothing she can do to stop it. There is no villain to scream and fight against. Just the universe she kept claiming to do what it can to help her with the hand she was dealt. She simply forgot one thing: Wakako is a small ant compared to the universe and no one ever thinks about the ants they step on. 

She peels herself from the warm embrace of her girlfriend to look her in the eyes. There is a calmness surrounding her, a soft little smile on her lips. It’s a look that betrays the trembling of her body. 

“Azu, I’m… so sorry. I’m so sorry I filled your head with words and dreams of us running away and making our own family. This is going to hurt a lot more now. I should have pushed you away when I had the chance because now we love each other and had plans for the future… I’m sorry that I’m going to make you cry.” She takes her hair clips off before clipping them onto Azusa’s hair. “I want you to move on though. Please… I love you and I want you to be happy so… I want you to find happiness when I’m gone.” 

She turns away from Azusa for the last time, to address the rest. If she is going to die then she wants to have her last words to everyone. She deserves that much. 

“Hanari, I think you’re really cool! I’m sort of sad we didn’t hang out more but I’m grateful for what time we did have. Your compliments to me meant a lot… We didn’t get around to teaching me that self-defense which is a shame. I think you’re really nice though. Heart in the right spot and all that. I hope I’m not wrong, at least…”

  “Shouri, I also regret not spending a lot of time with you. Thanks for being so chill with me though. I was looking forward to getting to know you more because you seem like the type of person who is full of stories. I would have loved to know them.” 

  “Chiharu, Good job… I enjoyed some of our conversations but what can I say besides that? Oh! I know… It’s ironic… I hope it was worth it, huh? You and Hisashi working together through a little murder mind link… It cost you the one person who truly mattered to you. Can’t imagine you’ll be sleeping at night. I hope you rot… You should be here, not me… Not Shizuka. I can’t believe I defended you even a little.”

  “Ami, thank you… You have been a great friend and I’m happy to have met you. I think you’re such an amazing person… I hope you get out of here, with Ely too. It was fun getting to know you. Ha… Will you still rob my family for me? Just one last fuck you to them. I’d like that.”

  “Arisa, I bet you hate me know for shitting on Hisashi. Whatever, it doesn’t matter considering I’m not gonna be alive in a bit. What can I say… For a little bit we sort of… felt like sisters? Joking and teasing each other. It is what I imagined what having a sister is like, it was nice… It also fits… because I hate my siblings and I still hate you… We’re still two pathetic people, it seems.”

  “Shizuka, I’m… Sorry. We just both drew the short sticks, it seems. It was nice to play in the snow with you. Can’t say more than that.”

  “Aria, … I fucked up a lot of things here, I’ll admit it, and I don’t regret a lot of it but… I regret how I treated you. I wanted to be your friend for some reason but y’know. Burned bridges, yeah? … I hope you find happiness. I mean, we’re in charge of finding that happiness for ourselves so I hope you find it someday before it’s too late.”

  “Al, thank you… I know we started off on the wrong foot but I’m glad we’re friends. You made me feel cherished, you did. I hope I made you feel a little loved because I think you deserved it. Please remember that the people here love you… You’re going to be okay one day.”

  “Aina, I… I’m sorry I can’t be that friend you deserve. I wish I could have been. It must be really hard being you. I just hope you get out to your daughter. The world has a shortage of good parents so it would be just sad if something happened to you.”

  “Ely, I know you don’t believe in the whole hero stuff anymore but maybe the world needs more heroes. It was cool, despite what I said. That was just me being a bitch. I’m sorry this place is breaking you and I’m so sorry about your sister… She loved you so you must have been a good sister.”

  “Kamiya, guess we can’t do that collab now, huh? It sounded like it was going to be fun… You are so fucking good, man. You’re so unbelievably good. I don’t understand you at all but I’m glad I got to meet someone like you…”

Wakako finally leaves her podium and walks directly to Hisato. She simply takes off Iago’s cardigan and leaves it on his podium. 

  “Hisato, do me a favor and return this to his grave… I don’t want it to get ruined where I’m going. Um… Thank you. You were an amazing friend, Hisato. I… God, I hope you get out of here. Reconnect with your little sister. Be a good big brother. I know you will… I love you, Hisato. I didn’t deserve all the kindness you gave me.”

And finally she turns to the space Hisashi is standing in. For a moment her eyes drift to the knife in his hands. Her trembling stops and she gives him such a big smile. 

“Hisashi, … I should have done this a long time ago.”

With nothing to lose Wakako charges him. She doesn’t care. She is going to die in a few minutes so she does not care. The world isn’t fair to her so why not lose it. Wakako doesn’t care if that knife ends up in her, she isn’t afraid of the pain or of him, not anymore when it’s all going to go away. 

[TW for strangulation]

  She tackles him to the floor with unbridled rage. Somehow Wakako gets her hands around his throat and starts to squeeze. She wants him to feel what she felt, even for a moment… Wakako knows he won’t but she wants to pretend.

 —

Hisashi sees her coming, of course. Sees her, watches her as she runs. Charges. It’s the vulture come to steal the predator’s prey, except –

He’s on the ground quick, and he’s staring up at her, expression blank. Hisashi doesn’t move, and his voice is strained as she grips his throat.

“…Get on with it, then.”

He lifts his hand with the knife – and releases it, blade clattering to the floor. 

“Make it – make it mean something. You’re dying anyway, aren’t you? Might as well t – take me along for the – ahah – the ride. Sn – snuff me out yourself. Just – ah – a word of - of warning. From one murderer to another, hm?”

Hisashi smiles. It seems oddly genuine – even the way his voice strains from something other than the physical pressure.

“You won’t feel anything.”

—

Staring. She is just staring down at him.  Killing him here won’t take back everything he has done to her, to the others. Will it make her feel any better? Maybe… Or maybe she is tainting herself in her final moments. 

Before anyone can pull her off Wakako lifts a fist up and drives it downward, a loud and sickly crack rings out. 

Wakako breaks her hand but she also breaks Hisashi’s nose. 

“You’re right, but you’re going to be feeling that for awhile.”

She wipes the blood onto his shirt since she wants to be clean in her final moments.  Wakako gets off of Hisashi, kicking his knife away from him as one final petty move of hopeless rage before crossing the circle and returning to her podium. 

“… I guess this is it, guys.”
