#GIVE MY BBY THEIR MANGA ALREADY

why the abuse cycle is the best thing ever written (ok not the best but almost)
I wouldn't define myself an Akutagawa apologist, 'cause no I simply can't do something like that knowing what he did to Kyouka, but hating on him for that is the same as hating Dazai for it? not really.
"dazai should pay for what he has done-" uh he already did? like alright go on and forget the suicidal tendencies (and the almost canon sh) that definitely aren't sarcastic (even my bed knows that), the years he spent in the mafia as a teenager (if the word child is exaggerated for you)(at fourteen you're still a child yes), how he was around killing people at fifteen, how he learned ways to torture others at the same time, how he lived in a literal container far from everything else and how he was considered a demon by everyone to the point that he was sure of that by sixteen (how he was the ward of a canon pedophile (not saying he was s/a for sure, but it wouldn't make things better)), and an entire characterization for your "poor innocent akutagawa" act
like, I love Akutagawa, he's one of my favourite characters and of the best written ones, and despite my love for him I recognise the bad things he has done. naturally I'm not talking ab the killing, like who cares they're all kinda useless or not so important to me and everyone in general, but the "Abuse Cycle" thing, one of the best things Asagiri wrote for this plot. he just treated Jyouka like shit, and everyone has to admit it: he abused and manipulated her for a long time, badly influenced her and using her as a tool for the mafia. Dazai did the same, saving Akutagawa, "giving him a reason to live" if making him proud can be called this, and abusing and treating him probably the way he was treated under Mori's cares.
I remember when some years ago I said to a friend of mine (I was like thirteen and they were sixteen) that I didn't like Dazai for what he did to Akutagawa (my favourite boy when I had yet to read the manga) and they told me something like "but that's hypocrisy, Akutagawa did the same thing to Kyouka" yes and no, again.
chapter 49 is like the thing that make me says that even tho the things they both did were bad it still is not the same
Tumblr media
I'm citing another post here on tumblr that I saved and lost cause I'm a genius, but the "eyes represent the way the see themselves" theory is perfect for this chapter, that is a whole "you're eyes are different". it's the cannibalism arc and Kyouka is ready to kill Higuchi to save the ADA and Fukuzawa cause they're the first real family she has had after her parents died, Akutagawa starts to fight her and after her attempt to kill him surprises him, she backs away and he sees her face clearly, specifically her eyes. Asagiri drew them like this for a reason.
Akutagawa's surprised eyes are wide open, iris grey (like his hair so they would be just pitch black) like the pupil in an almost blank look. they express nothing, and the only way we understand how he's feeling is the "eyes wide open" thing. they're just dull. Kyouka is determined, and in her eyes shines that determination to help her family. the sparkles are there for a reason like every other time, and they're open. filled with emotions and just human. her eyebrows are frowned, and she's so different from him it hurts. (Asagiri even put the little panel with his eyes next to her, he's screaming "look at how you'll suffer now")
Tumblr media
this is a creepy expression our silly little guy makes at the idea of fighting someone as strong as kyouka, and the differences in their eyes is even more prominent (crazed look doesn't suit you bby)
Tumblr media
and he sees that difference, even if kyouka probably ignores it. he admits that she's right: she's changed since she worked under him
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
he describes kyouka's eyes as "yearning for death/with no values for her life", and says that he knew someone with the same eyes as her, and at first it would look like he's talking about himself, but then there's a picture of sixteen/seventeen Dazai, that like her joined another organization and found a reason to live (Dazai definitely didn't found a reason to live, maybe a reason to don't die and survive but it's another matter). so he isn't talking ab himself, and he even sees the part of the flashback with himself like a little icon in the corner. Asagiri drew the way he remembered that day, not someone else's perception
so he doesn't think of himself as someone like Kyouka or Dazai. But both Asagiri and Bones did a good job making things clear (bones almost useful for the first time with the iconic parallels)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they're the same. they're identical, and maybe bones did akutagawa's part too evident, removing the "hidden truth" behind that panel, but the effect is perfect. they have the same eyes, but Akutagawa says that they're like Dazai's ones, who sure look like theirs in the "you're the witness to that fact" scene. he completely ignores the parallels between his past (and present) self and kyouka.
Tumblr media
he says that he's glad about kyouka's (and dazai's) happiness and new-founded reason to live/stay alive. he's happy for them, cause he recognise that they're better like this, and he accepts the fact that they've found a place outside the mafia. (kyouka screams flabbergasted) so, basically, he also recognize how the time she spent with the mafia (and with him) was bad for her mental health and didn't help her wellbeing. I'm pretty sure t is the closest thing to an apology he could ever manage.
the "best" thing about the abuse cycle is the differences between them. Kyouka breaks the cycle and finds happiness. Akutagawa gets abused and abuses, he recognise it and "apologies", declaring himself glad that his and the mafia's influence weren't able to break Kyouka. Dazai gets abused and abuses, and we aren't sure of his feeling about what he did to Akutagawa. (mori is a good character but a bitch that I don't care ab)(his backstory would be gold but asagiri isn't that kind)
Kyouka recognize herself as a victim, and search/welcomes people who want her good. Akutagawa doesn't recognize himself as a victim, but says that Dazai and Kyouka are, thinks of himself as a weakling (and probably would react badly to anyone telling him that he was abused)(killing them maybe) Dazai doesn't recognize himself as a victim, 'cause he doesn't even thinks of himself as human to begin with, and there lies the difference between him and akutagawa
Dazai recognized that what he was doing to Akutagawa in Dark Era was bad, but didn't found in himself the "humanity" to be better, basically, saying that someone good like Oda would have done a better job. after Oda's last world he "became" a better person (he thinks he's acting all the time. like he really is unable to be human, when we know it isn't absolutely true), and started to "act" as "human". he truly sees himself as unable to be genuinely kind (like genuine kindness exists pfft), and it makes me feel bad cause it's horrible to live feeling like some empty shell of fake human traits. but it also is his excuse for his bad actions in the mafia. he doesn't recognise Mori's influence as the thing that made him who he is, that made him do what he did to Akutagawa, and doesn't think of himself human enough to be a decent guy, and decides to just be inhuman. I'm not saying he doesn't try, he for sure did back when he was younger, but I think at one point he simply choose not to anymore
(dazai "apologising" to akutagawa or thinking explicitly ab the bad he has done to him would be the apex of character's development)
so at the end Akutagawa recognizes (if I use this verb another time hit me with a spatula) what he has done to Kyouka but doesn't do the same with what Dazai has done to him Dazai probably doesn't fully recognizes what he has done to Akutagawa cause he does the same with what Mori has done to him, and if he did he still didn't find himself capable to be kind enough not to do bad (even tho he'll be with atushi ) (they need someone to make them understand) (someone hit them in the head please)
and nothing I should to study and I'll write the rest later cause I have too much things to say ab them

Being Kamomedai's Manager
And Secretly Dating Izuru Nozawa
Tumblr media
Izuru Nozawa featuring Kamomedai x GN!Manager
Warnings: light kissing, me getting to bully Hoshiumi, Manga spoilers, potential anime spoilers (spoilers are just details about the teams)
A/N: This is an Anon request and my first Kamomedai request! Currently reading the Manga so I'm not as familiar with Kamomedai as the rest of the teams BUT I have successfully stalked researched and I think I have a decent idea of their personalities so please bare with me!
Ok so from what I understand, Kamomedai is kind of like Date Tech but like more extreme??
Honestly I can tell I'm already going to adore them 🥺
Personally, they kind of give me Shiratorizawa 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 vibes
So I'm going to go with a mix of the two for these headcanons
You become Kamomedai's Manager during your second year
Let's say you were besties with Hirugami
Because seriously, what an angel 😍
By default, you become friends with Hoshiumi and let's just say you have a love/ hate relationship with our tiny seagull bby
"YN seriously must you be so happy all the time?!?"- Hoshiumi says glaring at you 😑
"It's not my fault I have friends Hoshiumi, maybe you should try not being such a stick in the mud"- you 🤪🤸‍♂️
"KORAI KNOCK IT OFF!"- Hirugami growls
Hoshiumi 👉🏻👁👄👁 WHY DIDNT YOU YELL AT YN?!?!
You 👉🏻😜 sUcK iT KoRai 😜
Honestly the maturity YN 😅
It's actually Hirugami that brings up the idea of joining Kamomedai as a manager
He decides to talk to his seniors and they love the idea
So he brings you to practice one day
Suwa, Norikura, Hakuba, Bessho, Tokura and Kanbayashi are all so nice to you
Hoshiumi just looks at Hirugami, eyes widening and says "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?? REALLY?? YN??"
"You know you love me Korai"- you say sweetly 🙃
Meanwhile, a certain winged spiker is observing your interaction with Hoshi 👀
That's right, third year Izuru Nozawa is watching you 👀
Observing from a distance you might say
He thinks you are super cute and the way you handle the team, well let's just say the man is sold 😍
He's seems like the kind of guy who is cocky but self conscious when it comes to crushing on someone
Luckily, you don't have that problem
"Hi!! My name is YN!! What's yours?" You say, bubbly as ever as you introduce yourself to Izuru
"Im- uh- I'm-" Nozawa says stumbling iver his words
If you don't think the team noticed his stumbling, you could be completely wrong 😏
Please they are eating this up!
Suwa comes up behind him, smacking Nozawa on the back making his jump
"This is Izuru Nozawa YN. He's one of our third year winged spikers. Isn't that right Nozawa"- Suwa says 🙃
Nozawa 👉🏻😳 uh yeah- that's me 😅
You're smile beams at Nozawa as he watches you
"I'm so excited to work with you guys"- you say, literally ecstatic
"Nobody said you were hired yet YN"- Hoshiumi grumbles
🙄 😒
Please ✋🏻 all these boys just GLARE at Hoshiumi because HOW DARE HE CHASE YOU AWAY
You just giggle and leap at Hoshiumi, hugging him
His eyes widen and he blushes, stuttering over his own words as the guys all watch in astonishment
Kamomedai 👉🏻😲😲😲
Hoshiumi 👉🏻😠😳☺️
You 👉🏻🥰🥰🥰
"Ugh fine get off me"- Hoshiumi says pushing you off
Unfortunately for you, you're balance isn't the best
Big SAME
You stumble back, falling in slowmotion
Luckily for you, Nozawa acts quickly, catching you
You look up to him, blushing as he awkwardly smiles 🥺
Please this is so wholesome
"Umm thanks Izuru"- you say, your blush turning into a smile
Please Hakuba is probably wiping a tear away because how romantic 🥲
He gives me big, loving himbo vibes!
Like Bokuto but maybe without the emo modes
From that day forward, you begin your journey as Kamomedai's Manager
You provide a kind of softness to the once rough team
Literally before you, practices were so rigorous and hard
Their coach believes in working them hard
But you believe in love and nurturing your boys 🥰
So let's just say they are very surprised when they come into practice one day to see personalized treat bags made for each of them
They all stare at them, look at each other and then look to you
You 👉🏻🥰🙌🏻
Them 👉🏻👁👄👁
You 👉🏻😍💙🤍
Them 👉🏻👁💧👄💧👁
You are exactly what they needed YN
You are an amazing encouragement to all of them
You help Hirugami when he struggles with his feelings towards volleyball
You help Hakuba with his receives and blocks
You help Suwa keep track of the guys progress and where they need to improve
And most importantly, you develop a close friendship with Nozawa
Mans literally follows you everywhere YN
He loves when you cheer for him and help him practice
He also gets very jealous when you do the same for his teammates
He knows you're the teams manager and that it's your job
But seriously, he's so jealous YN 😫
He desperately wants to ask you out but he's not entirely sure how to go about it
You aren't the same as all the others YN
You are so special to him and the team
He can't mess this up!
Kamomedai prides themselves on results
They don't believe in momentum
They believe in results 👏🏻
So in his mind, of he can't ask you out the way you deserve, then he won't ask you out at all
Unfortunately, he thinks you deserve the absolute world YN 🥺 so this man will push himself to give you the best
After a particularly rough practice, Nozawa stays late to practice his serves
He struggled today, missing about 25% of his targeted goal
He knew what was messing him up, but he couldn't let it bother him
However, seeing him struggling, you decided to stay back to make sure he was ok
Hirugami and Hoshiumi left you after you said you had a few things to finish, leaving you alone with Nozawa
You stood outside the door, listening to the balls slam on the floor
"Damnit Izuru! You can't even make a serve inbounds! How do you expect YN to even considering going out with you?"- Izuru says, putting his hands on his knees and scolding himself
Your hand goes to your mouth in shock
Izuru liked you? And he thought he wasn't good enough for you 😡
Oh no no no, you weren't going to listen to Izuru put himself down
Without even thinking, you make your way into the gym, crossing the floor in only a few strides
Izuru looked up at you, eyes widening as you kneel in front of him, grab his cheeks and pull him into a kiss
His eyes wide, he watches you pull away, a small smile creeping on your face
"Izuru, you are perfect just the way you are and I'd love to go out with you"- you say, now smiling widely
Izuru just stared at you 😳
Pls YN, he's in shock say something!
"Izuru are you ok?"- You say, studying his face
Suddently, Izuru reaches his hand over, pinching himself and whincing
You just look at him, confused 🤨
"Just making sure I'm not dreaming"- he says, as he leans in, kissing your lips again making you giggle
After that, Izuru and you started a sort of secret relationship
Why secret 👀
It's because I 1000% believe this team is just as nosey as the other ones 🙄
Literally, high school kids live for gossip and what better gossip is there?
However, it's unfortunate for you and Izuru that you can't have nice things
Because one day, you are getting volleyball from the back room
Izuru comes in, asking for a small kiss before practice
You oblidge, of course 😏
Too bad a certain 6'8" winged spiker just happens to barge in
🎶 when he looks at me, and I look at him and he looks at me and I LOOK AT HIMMMM 🎶
Hakuba rn 👉🏻😐😳😱
"HOLY CRAP NOZAWA WAS JUST MAKING OUT WITH YN!!"
everyone stops ✋🏻
Izuru is still holding on to you and you to him
Hoshiumi comes running 🏃‍♂️ over to you
"Nozawa are you ok??? Yn did force you did they!!"- Hoshiumi 😨
You 👉🏻😐😑 why you little-
Hirugami comes over, grabbing Hoshiumi and moving him back
Honestly, he saving Hoshi if you asked me ✋🏻
Izuru and you are still standing there 🧍‍♂️
Suwa comes up, shaking his head at everyone
"Seriously? We are suppose to be practicing"- Suwa shouts
"How can we?? YN is literally ruining it"- Hoshi yells
You 👉🏻😠 istg-
Please Nozawa is holding you back from murdering Hoshiumi
"Just one swing Izuru..." you say, glaring
"Well practice sure is interesting"- Bessho's comments
Suwa is rolling his eyes so hard rn
"Ok ok, Nozawa are you and YN together?"- Suwa
Izuku nodds, still holding you back from committing murder
"Ok, well as long as you two are happy"- Suwa says, shrugging and turning to leave
Please Hoshiumi is all worked up
"WHAT THE HECK?? YN IS A TOTAL LIABILITY"- Hoshiumi yells
Somehow you managed to squeeze from Izuru's hold, grabbing a volleyball and channeling Sir Iwaizumi Hajime
The ball hits Hoshiumi right in the face as he falls back, cursing at you and swearing your end
You 👉🏻 BRING IT 👊🏻
Izuru and the entire team rn 👉🏻😐🙄
After that, you no longer had to hide your relationship with Izuru
However, that doesn't mean it was easy 👀
Because you see, Nationals is pretty stressful
And I totally believe Nozawa is a jealous and possessive boi
So while the boys warm up for their first game, you sneak away to use the rest room
On your way back, you accidently bump into a tower of yellow jackets 💛
Namely ONE jacket in particular 🙃
"Oh my, I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going"- you say, excusing yourself
"Oh its no problem, I'll never complain about a beautiful person running into me"- Iizuna Tsukasa, captain of Itachiyama says 😏
Just me throwing all the names out there 🤪
You blush at the compliment, looking at the tall blonde setter as he smirks at you
"HEY-" you hear a low growling shout from behind you as you turn to see Izuru, Hoshiumi, Hakuba and Hirugami standing
You turn to walk towards your boyfriend as he pulls you close, kissing your forehead
"Ahh Nozawa, good to see you"- Iizuna says, smirking
"Iizuna, what were you doing with MY YN?" Izuru responds, eyes narrowed
"I accidently bumped into him Izu, it's ok"- you say caressing his cheek
Nozawa still glares at Iizuna as he leans his head down, giving you a small peck on the lips
Hoshiumi groans from behind you "Seriously get a room!"
Nozawa doesn't hear as he's still locked in a heated glare with Iizuna
"Let's go YN, we have a game to win"- Izuru says
"Good luck Nozawa, you're going to need it"- Iizuna says
"Not as much as you'll need"- Izuru growls, pulling you away as you wave cutesy to Iizuna
Please YN, do less ✋🏻
Needless to say, Izuru and Kamomedai didn't need to luck 🙃
They crushed their first opponents with ease, securing their place in the next round
You cheered as your boys won their match, Izuru running towards you and twirling you around, giving you a small kiss
"Ugh seriously??"- Hoshiumi moans
You glare at him as Izuru hands you a volleyball
"You know me so well"- you say as you canon the ball towards Hoshiumi 🥰
That he does YN, that he does!

thungo thursday: oh god bones please don't fuck this up
manga spoilers for this one boys
gotta love how teruko was FULLY ready to murder atsushi no issue but now she's like 'gimmie a piggyback SLAVE'
also atsushi always going like 'im a tiger not a cat' does he??? not know?? that tigers????? are just big cats????
atsushi is incompatible with gay sadists (including but not limited to yosano, akutagawa, kouyou, teruko)
nevermind lol
OMG KENJI AND TECCHOU 1V1 LETS GOOOOOOOO
okay i love tecchou, he's a great character, and so is jouno. but seeing kenji get hurt in any capacity fills me with a mighty rage and now i think tecchou deserves at least one passionate backhand from yours truly
BABY ATSUSHI NOOOOOOOOO
YESSSS GET FUCKED TECCHOU (i love you but like if i really had to choose between you and kenji...it's a no brainer babe)
also i'm legit like kenji fr. i couldn't give a shit if people like try to hurt me or whatever im like ok, but if anyone tries to hurt my friends i get unbelievably pissed about it and genuinely will throw hands
FUCK yeah they actually did kenji right. i was so worried about how they would animate this lmao but they actually did it properly good job bones
omg tecchou it literally doesn't matter if jouno would have wanted you to save him. the fact is that you tried to do it anyway and that speaks volumes (YOU'RE GAY YOU'RE A FUCKING QUEER)
you have to wonder if kenji admires chuuya in part due to the fact that he understands the difficulty behind CHOOSING to be nice when you're actually hated by the world and full of rage because of it. fuck maybe i kin kenji more than i thought. i also am one of those people who doesn't care if someone hurts me but if they hurt my loved ones i get fully pissed and will throw hands
KENJI AND TECCHOU'S FRIENDSHIP IS SO WHOLESOME OMGGGGG also did tecchou really not know the names of the detective agency? maybe that information was withheld from the hunting dogs in order to get them to subconsciously dehumanise the agency, so they wouldn't be swayed by the agency's efforts to prove their own innocence as easily...then again jouno recognised kunikida immediately so mayb not...
i love how sigma was called a three year old by dazai and he just...didn't react. no 'i'm not three years old' or 'technically i'm an adult', just -_-
FYODOR DUCKING TO GET UNDER THE DOOR WHILE CHUUYA JUST WALKS THROUGH LMAOOOOO
LMAOOOOOOO SIGMA BBY HE'S SO EASILY SWAYED (me too bub.) BABY YOU'RE ALREADY WAY SUPERIOR TO FYODOR. also dazai saying 'he's the atsushi kun type' bro i know. they're two of my top three bsd kins. I'M the atsushi kun type. also sigma looks so cute when he's thinking so hard i wanna boopdesnoot
why the fuck did they animate fyodor to be like 'chuuya san!' in the most babygirl voice ever, they even gave him emotions and everything wtf
'the walls are anti-gifted' ARE THEY ANTI ARAHABAKI THOUGH (don't come for me i havent fully read 15 or stormbringer i dont know if arahabaki is an ability or not im maKING A JOKE GUYS ITS A FUCKING JOKE!!!)
not the cutesy wink dazai oh my fucking god stop trying to rizz up sigma real quick and JUST KILL FYODOR
oh yeah are they ever gonna fucking explain timestopper catgirl?? she was there for like two seconds and then she was offed by fyodor once he escaped the water. like???? huh???? WHAT WAS EVEN THE POINT BESIDES THE VERY LAZY PLOT DEVICE?????? also she looks like a mha character i think people have already said this but she doesn't belong here she belongs in mha
how do mersault prisoners go peepee and poopoo
OH MY GOD THEY DID IT RIGHT!!!!!!! THEY DID IT PROPERLY!!!! YESSSSSSS
'goodbye' MAMORU MIYANO YOU DESERVE THE WORLD FOR THAT YOU LEGENDARY MAN I WANT TO KISS YOU ON THE LIPS YOU'RE THE MAN EVER
aya is smarter than i'll ever be how on earth does she think of this stuff. you go girl i cant wait for you to save the world

2) your fav anime
3) your fav book
4) your A/O wip?
All of the above or whichever one you wanna 👀✨💖 must include “why are they my blorbo?” reasoning. ily
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! this is an invitation to rant about my faves, right? right.
OKAY! okay! lots to fucking say i swear! okay!
favorite manwha/manga
Mookyul Eun
mookyul is a pretentious gangsta fuck. as you know. he’s very persistent and knows what he wants (even though he may or may not be doing most of his thinking with his dick at first, when it comes to our dear little ewon). he may be a mafia boss, and be prone to violence, but he cares about being legitimate when it comes to business. i love him, he’s such a shit in some aspects but he’s also kinda soft (although he’d probably smack me down if he ever heard me say that). he’s pretty as fuck. god damn model material. ALSO! when he tells ewon “my ears, my eyes and my heart too. i’d give you everything if you said you needed it.” I DIE EVERYTIME THAT MOTHER FUCKER! also he’s respectful to those who deserve it. like Killer Bear. he’s a good man, but he’s also not. he’s my baby, and if anyone ever tried to hurt him i would go utterly feral. my precious bby boy 🥺🥺🥺🥺💖
favorite anime
Oikawa Tooru
okay oikawa is a pretty boy through and through. he’s perfect and he could never do anything wrong, okay! okay so he might’ve almost punched a kid once BUT HE DIDN’T!!!!!! (disclaimer/for legal reason: i do not condone this kind of behavior, obviously!) that’s what matters right????? okay okay, also he’s immensely talented. not like a natural talent, but talented as in he’s worked his fucking ass to shreds, to get where he is and to hone his skill and become the best™️. on one hand he KNOWS he’s the best and he’s smug as fuck about it, but on the other hand, he has the most fragile ego EVER. he’s kinda childish at times, but he’s just so adorable i love him. from his floofy hair, to his determination, to his shitty personality, to the way he communicates with his iwa-chan. i love him from the bottom of my heart, he’s my little princess boy 🥺🥺🥺🥺💖
favorite book
Jacks - aka the Prince of Hearts
Jacks in a fate from the caravan book series, and he’s both terrible and amazing. he’s the smoothest mother fucker out there, i swear. it’s said that he’s searching for his one true love, and if he kisses you, your heart stops like within a week or something if you’re NOT his true love. if you are, you survive. and he so…. he’s terrible, don’t get me wrong, i’d hate him if i met him irl. he’s got the foulest mouth, and despite being deceitful and almost killing the person we follow in this book where we meet him, he also tries to help her. he holds her when she cries and he just… he’s horrible. he’s perfect. i love him. i don’t know what else to say, he’s just my perfect disaster <3
Alpha / Omega project
Reed
i was going to talk about kaizer. he’s the obvious choice. stoic, strong, skilled, alpha, awkward as fuck, tragic past and all that. BUT you know a lot about him already, so i decided to go for reed instead. reed is an elf. he’s a redhead, he’s got freckles, he’s tall and lanky, yet strong af. we meet him in book two. before the book. his past. he looses the love of his life to sickness, and believing that she’d been asking the king for help with her sickness and being refused, he seeks vengeance. he kills the king with a scythe and is shunned to live with the heathens. which is where he is when kaizer arrives at the elf kingdom. he’s funny, he’s soft, and slightly unhinged at times. he may or may not have do fucky fuck with kaizer. because they both like each other but also both know that they could never take the place of the others lost love. HOWEVER!!! reed may or may not fall for kaizers sister ava. which is awkward. because…. yeah.. and they deserve to be happy, when he finally learns to really love again after his lost love. and he just deserves the best in the world, he’s my dark puppy redhead i cannot even begin to tell you how much i’m looking forward to writing him!!!!!
okay i tried to be a LITTLE short on them, so it wouldn’t just be an entire essay for each of them….. also i wrote half of this while still at work, whoops 🙈 kudos to my superior for being out of the office most of the afternoon!

Thoughts on Legend of Mana Anime Episode 10: Fluorite
In which Shiloh demonstrates, heart is an awesome power. This is a really good episode, too!
As usual, link to the episode below ~
youtube
And the obligatory spoiler warning!
Spoilers for episode 10 of the Legend of Mana anime, as well as events from the quests Alexandrite and Fluorite from the Jumi Arc of the game.
This episode moves fairly quickly but smoothly, picking up from the end of last episode. Shiloh and Serafina find Elazul and Pearl, and like I suspected, Serafina covers up her involvement with Esmeralda's murder by asking Alex to be a witness. And we all know Alex is Sandra is Alexandrite, so this is all just one big deception. Unfortunately, Shiloh doesn't see through it and even Elazul's suspicions are brought to rest, so they continue on with Serafina and meet with Diana.
As in the game, Diana explains the history of Jumi as a life-giving people, but the anime at least gives more context for why she was waging war with Deathbringer - it was their only way to recover the cores already taken, but because it also resulted in many wounded Jumi, Florina had to keep crying to heal all the victims of the war. In the game and in the manga, they kind of don't really explain why Diana waged war with Deathbringer in the first place and show Diana as this rather cold figure, a tyrant even. To be fair, that kind of impression was coming from Alexandrite, but I still find it interesting that Diana didn't refute those allegations either in the game.
And speaking of Sandra, she shows up and takes Diana's core, and too late Shiloh realizes that Serafina was allied with Sandra. My poor kindhearted cinnamon roll bby looked and sounded so heartbroken, gaaah!
Serafina and Sandra make their escape with Diana's core - but instead of blaming Shiloh or Serafina, Elazul only shows concern for poor Shiloh. By the Mana Goddess, the voice acting and dialogue for Elazul was perfect for that scene - I really do like how Elazul's character developed in this anime and it shows how much he cared for Shiloh's well being. Elazul once again gently breaks ties with Shiloh, apologizing that their business resulted in Shiloh feeling Serafina's betrayal. I just - the fact that after being so suspicious and being proven right, but Elazul made sure to comfort Shiloh and try to distance themselves so he wouldn't be hurt any further? Fantastic.
Elazul in the game is much colder and rougher by comparison, but it is true that our grumpy Jumi boy is actually a softie who becomes a absolute buddy by the time the Jumi arc ends, so I love, love, love that the anime is doing his character so excellently.
So poor Shiloh makes his way back home, only for the events of the Fluorite quest start up when he hears Florina's calls for help. Being our nosey main character who blunders into Jumi business as easily as breathing, Shiloh investigates and finds Florina - as well as Belle! I do love the feisty dream spirit girl, and like in the game Belle asks Shiloh to help fix Florina's nightmares.
And boy what nightmares - Rubens gleefully slaughtering soldiers, Esmeralda happily using her sister's cores as mere jewelry, Sappho lording over Marina, and Diana forcing guardians to shed teardrop crystals.
Taking into mind Belle's words that memories of the day become basis for the dreams of the night...I do wonder about the significance of these particular dreams, if Florina's view of her fellow Jumi had been so warped after hiding away and possibly because of Alexandrite's influence, or if these nasty behaviors we see in the dream Jumi are somehow part of the real Jumi characters we know, sides to them we never saw.
Shiloh being the heart he is though, he reassures each of these Jumi that these nightmare versions of themselves are in no way true. To Rubens, he says that a man so gentle he couldn't hurt a Sproutling could never be such a bloodthirsty soldier. To Esmeralda, he reminds her of her sisters' sacrifice and how much that meant to her. To Sappho, he tells him of how he always felt regret over Marina's death and how he tried to keep Basket Fish safe by giving him his core rather than staying on as a Jumi.
And to Diana, Shiloh says that she wasn't a tyrant taking advantage of teardrop crystals to wage war, but a sympathetic leader who cared more for the Jumi than anyone, saying that even though the act of asking Florina for tears pained her, she wanted only the best for the Jumi.
We love and support the goodest boy in this household. It just says a lot about Shiloh's kindess - that even after seeing the worst versions possible of these Jumi, and just fresh from seeing Serafina cruelly lie and betray him and his friends, he looked at the goodness of the people they were and reminded them of that.
I just love that, you know? LoM's overarching theme is love - the existence of a kind, gentle love that is willing to admit faults and helps us be the best versions of ourselves, one which the Mana Goddess wanted our help for to see again. To do that, we face examples of love, twisted and warped, but still love, too. Alexandrite's love for Florina, enough to murder all other Jumi, Irwin's willingness to destroy a world that made him and Matilda suffer so much, and Larc's single-minded determination to reunite with Sierra (Drakonis is the only major villain who isn't motivated by love as far as I can tell. He's just there to be evil. Which isn't bad, at least you can beat him up with zero wrinkles in your conscience :b)
So yeah. I just love protagonists with compassion and kindness, so eve if that makes Shiloh seem generic to others, that is the good stuff for me.
Florina finally sleeps well, mission is accomplished...but what is this, the episode ends with Elazul and Pearl coming into Pandora's Box as well? I wonder if we're jumping into Teardrop Crystal soon, but the anime does have to resolve one thing, something that they haven't done yet.
In the game, the point of the Fluorite quest is for the player and Elazul to look at Blackpearl's psyche as well, to make her realize she can't keep on carrying all the weight of the Jumi on herself, and by extension, that she cannot force her Pearl persona to fill in the role of Clarius. That hasn't happened in the anime yet, so I'm guessing the next episode will be dealing more with Blackpearl again.
Another well-written episode and one I am so glad I didn't rush to view just to write this review! I have so many thoughts about it.

8. What do you think Sayu would have done if she had gotten the death note?
OH MY GOD you just chose the most HEARTBREAKING question, my poor bby Sayu!!! I think it would have been so interesting if she had picked up the book instead!
Ok picture this. Sayu picks up the notebook on her way from school much like Light did. Just like her brother, she initially takes it as a joke, but inevitably can’t resist the urge to test it on the criminal holding the elementary school students hostage. The difference is that she immediately believes it was her doing--- what are the chances of a freak unrelated heart attack lining up perfectly with the timing of her experiment?? Feeling sick to her stomach, she bolts out of the house and runs to the local park where she spends the next hour spiraling.
This is when Ryuk chooses to confront her, enjoying watching the turmoil he’s caused already. He tells her she can give up ownership, but Sayu having grown up learning from her father about integrity feels too responsible to unleash it out into the world--- what if someone much more malicious than her finds it the next time? She decides to keep it, shoving it into a box and stuffing it deep into her closet and swearing herself to secrecy.
The guilt of taking another person’s life weighs down on her conscience, and much like Light did she falls into a deep depression. She does a good enough job of hiding it from her family at first, but Light immediately notices something wrong. After a few days of it, he finally goes to confront her and the dam breaks. Finally, she breaks down crying and they cling on to each other for dear life.
I’m not sure what the fallout from that would be! A large part of Light’s motivation in turning to his Kira ideology was to cope with the responsibility for his first two murders. He had to convince himself that there was a purpose to his crime, and that he was the only person righteous enough to carry out the will of a god. That framing, however, gets taken away in the new circumstances of his first contact with the death note. I’d be super interested in analyzing how he’d approach it if he didn’t have that moral burden on his shoulders.
Whatever conclusion he comes to though, his first priority would be his sister’s well-being.
------- But let’s also say, alternatively, that Sayu’s been raised to have a similar understanding of the criminal justice system as Light.
Another route could be that she also feels the urge to use the power of the notebook “the right way.” I’m going off of their ages at the start of the manga, so she’s even younger than Light was. I can see her coming to that conclusion after years of listening to her dad talk about criminals that got away or went unpunished by the flawed system. 
The thing is though, she’s much more naive going about it. It becomes pretty apparent at first when the only criminals dying by mysterious heart-attacks happen to be in the Kanto region... all discussed at some point by Chief Yagami with his family. The news announces that investigators are sent out to track down the serial killer responsible.
Sayu panics, and her first thought is that to dispel suspicion of her family she needs to broaden the reach of her murders to other countries and starts writing the names of foreign criminals. This sudden spike in global prison deaths then draws the attention of L.
After all of that, she’d still end up going to Light, running to the person she trusts the most and finally asking for help. That part’s just like the first scenario, only now with interpol, the NPA, and her own father on her trail. It’d come down to her big brother to use his brilliance to protect his little sister from even L himself.
It definitely would have been a much different story, focused more around the Yagami family than the more existential themes of canon.
Wow this got out of hand REAL FAST.
For this ask game!

Love Language|| Jujutsu Kaisen
“I wanna be fluent in your love language. Learning your love language.” 
A/N: If you didn’t guess from the tagline this is inspired by the song love language by Kehlani. I’ll probably do more of these with different shows and what not because why not. If I missed anyone lmk and I can make a part 2. Also please tag spoilers appropriately esp for manga readers, that being said spoilers for the prequel? manga on Yuuta’s part.
Characters: Itadori, Fushiguro, Kugisaki, Maki, Inumaki, Okkotsu, Gojo, Nanami, Sukuna
Warnings: said it b4 but spoiler warnings in general but esp on Yuuji, Yuuta, and Maki’s parts
Plot synopsis: The 5 love languages; physical affection, quality time, words of affirmation, gift giving and acts of service, and how each jujutsu kaisen character shows their love and affection for you. Ft. a gender neutral reader!
Word count: 2352
Tumblr media
Itadori Yuuji
Love Language: Quality time and physical affection
Ok listen-
So for physical affection, Yuuji’s just that kind of person
He is all about giving to you
He’s holding hands with you if you’re ever walking anywhere, and if you’re not a hand holder pls pls pls let him hold your pinky he likes the reassurance
No but seriously he loves to hold you like yall could be walking in completely opposite directions and he’ll try to find some way to hold onto you until the very last second
And even then he’s all ‘:( babe imy’
‘Yuuji we just talked 2 minutes ago’
Another way he shows his love is through quality time
I think for him this is the biggest thing overall, esp as a jujutsu sorcerer bcus you never know yk but also because you’re important to him
Like remember how he literally went to occult club so that he could get out of school in time to go visit his grandpa...ye :(
He also loves finding dumb touristy things to do with you while in Tokyo or anywhere yall go together on a mission 
If you get together before he died and came back then that time he had to spend away from you literally killed him
Like my mans was goin THROUGH it
He almost considered spoiling Gojo’s secret
When he sees you again, he’s not gonna let go for like a solid day
Fushiguro Megumi
Love Language: acts of service and words of affirmation
This boy loves you so much
He loves to tell you all the things he loves about you when you’re alone
But he’s a little awkward with his words sometimes, hence where acts of service come in
He’ll immediately offer to hold your things, run to help you train or study, and if you’re cold? He’s fully prepared to never see his jacket again
Also he can’t cook but he’s fully prepared to suffer hearing Sukuna and suffering through Yuuji’s antics if it means he can learn how to make your favorite food
He also will surprise you by making you a playlist of all the songs that you’ve had stuck in your head and sends it to you randomly out of the blue one day like ‘thought you might like this’
However the best of both worlds is when he leaves you little notes throughout the day or sends you texts asking if you need anything or just encouraging you to keep going 
Negl he’s lowkey the president of the Y/N support club bcus-
You need anything? It’s yours
Cravings? Sad? Angry? What do you need bby, I’ve got it for you
Also he’s totally the type to be like you need help fuckin this person up? 
Also before yall started dating, Fushiguro was a mess
He was constantly asking to spar with you and go on missions, basically anything he could do to be near you  
End of the day, Fushiguro loves you and makes sure you know it whether it’s through his actions or his words
Kugisaki Nobara
Love Language: physical affection
So, she’s not the best with words, she tries but like someone help her bcus she is LOST
Like when she had a crush on you she was like “c’mere dumbass i wanna give you a hug”
In fact, she still is like “c’mere” but now you are dating :)
She loves you though and at first she doesn’t really know how to show it 
But one day you both come home from training and you just look at each other like ‘yeah today sucks’ and yall both just held each other for the rest of the day 
After that, she decided that she wants to do that with you but like always
She’s holding your hand, kissing your cheek when you go shopping, etc. etc.
She really loves to cling to you because she always has this fear that maybe one day you’ll get killed or just disappear so she figures might as well hold onto you for as long as we’ve got
After missions, she’s running up to you and if you aren’t prepared for the tackle, you’re probably gonna fall
On dates too, like if you guys have to meet up for a date, she’s tackling you
On the subject of dates...
She doesn’t mind PDA, and while she might hold your hand or arm so that you don’t get separated
She also doesn’t mind wiping food off your face and eating it, only to then kiss the spot on your face the food was previously at
She will split her shopping load between the two of you, however she will be slightly pouty if she’s carrying more than you (she then cheers up when she realizes she can do more shopping to “balance” the two of you)
In private she’s very cuddly and kissy which honestly isn’t that bad until it gets hot
At which point she’ll just say turn on the ac or convince you to walk around in a tank top (or something like it) so that she can continue holding you
Tbh she prefers the big spoon, but if she’s ever upset you let her be the little spoon >:(
All in all a very loving girlfriend who tries her best to show how much she loves you by glomping you at any given moment. 
Zenin Maki
Love language: acts of service and quality time
So you’re telling me that Maki wouldn’t immediately go out of her way to make sure her and her s/o can spend as much time together as possible?????
Like she’s super observant (which can cause her to be a bit harsh, see Yuuta) but she can always tell what’s bothering you
So if you’re upset that you haven’t been spending enough time together due to her being out on missions or otherwise busy she’s immediately running to finish her stuff and spend time with you.
((She’s very sorry, but on the bright side she brought your favorites!))
Maki is also an acts of service type
This mostly ties in with her kind of direct action way of thinking
She thinks she’s slick but you can always see her sneaking around to do small things like grabbing your laundry for you and folding it
She’s very much like if you love someone, you gotta prove it
Overall, dates with her are very intimate and personal to the two of you
Like she’ll take you to a frog pond you landed in during a fight once
Or you’ll take her to a street fair that serves this exclusive food that Maki mentioned wanting to try 
However, Maki shows her love through quality time and acts of service and while she does receive love from these to a degree, she is very much a words of affirmation gal
She’s not insecure in her day to day life but she has her moments, everyone does
Sometimes, she’ll feel like shit and a failure and all she wants is for you to say that she’s doing amazing and that she’s a great girlfriend.
Inumaki Toge
Love language: Physical affection
Because of his curse, he can’t exactly express how he feels about you through words
He does text you frequently throughout the day (I’ll have to do a hc abt that someday)
But he’d prefer not to be on his phone to communicate if you’re right in front of him
So he does the next best thing and just smothers you in physical affection
He loves kissing you the most
Like he could spend hours just kissing you if you let him (please let him)
But in public, he gets if you’re not a big fan of pda he’s willing to tone it down as long as he gets kisses later in private
He’d still prefer it if you held his hand or linked pinkies maintaining touch in some way
Also, unrelated, but it means so much to him if you try to understand his sushi language
He knows realistically the foundation of any relationship is communication so already he’s at a disadvantage because of his curse 
But if he sees you like take notes after he says something or start to need him to text you to translate, his heart is swelling
Like ‘omg this person loves me enough to learn a whole new language <333′
Another tangent but before you were together he was struggling so muchhhh
Like how does one express their feelings for someone without words?
If you’re Inumaki, you buy some flowers and text said person to meet you at a cafe
It took an embarrassingly long time for you to realize it was a date, but once you did, you ever so gently linked pinkies with Toge
Okkotsu Yuuta
Love language: words. of. affirmation. 
He’s literally so sensitive please tell him you love him regularly
In return he’ll be sure to tell you how much he loves you too
He knows that he can’t really be there for you as much as he’d like but he likes to let you know that he’s thinking of you
Doesn’t matter the time, if you call, he’s answering
If he doesn’t he’ll cry he’ll immediately call you back and is apologizing for missing your call
You assure him it’s no big deal but the man has his volume turned all the way up and changed your ringtone to one specific for you by the time you’ve even said hey
Aside from that, he really is sensitive
He’s been through a lot especially with Rika as well as growing up alone and bullied 
So for him, it’s everything to hear that you like having him around and don’t think he’s too much or anything like that
Of course, he gets better with time, trusting you and having the confidence in himself to not need constant assurance
That being said, if you ever just whisper in his ear, “I love you, Yuuta.”
That’s not your boyfriend, that’s a puddle of love on the floor
(Maki, Panda, and Inumaki had a field day when they saw him, Fushiguro now questions if Yuuta really is a respectable 2nd year.)
Gojo Satoru
Love language: gift giving and quality time
So Gojo doesn’t exactly get to spend a ton of time
Between missions, him beefing with higher ups, and you and him playing parent the baby sorcerers yall don’t exactly get time to go out much
In which case Gojo tends to default to two options:
He’ll either go the extra mile to try and spend time with you 
Whether that be an at home date where he tries and fails to surprise you with a home cooked meal
Or a date out at a restaurant or cafe (which you tend to visit after his home cooking efforts)
OR he’ll bring you various souvenirs from his missions
He loves to spoil you, and if he could he’d probably bring you back a whole store’s worth of stuff
But alas, airport security regulations
Anyways, he loves to spoil you especially if he can spoil you with sweets because it benefits him in two ways 
He treasures all the time you spend together, and he does try to overcompensate for his absence with gifts
Despite your assurances, it’s kind of a guilty pleasure at this point (just let him, trying to argue just goads him on further)
He doesn’t only buy you small things, he enjoys buying you outfits
And he especially likes seeing you in them 
Kento Nanami
Love Language: acts of service
Y’all remember the episode where he killed that curse that was bothering that baker lady?? Yea that
He’s literally such an acts of service boyfriend it’s not even funny
Before you got together, he would memorize your coffee order and bring you a cup pretty much everyday like clockwork
Now that you’re togehter, he wakes up before you so h=that when you wake up there’s the smell of coffee throughout the house
When you come out of you’re shared bedroom and he’s just scrooling through his phone like “mornin’”
Of course you already made the bed and ironed his clothes because relationships are give and take
And then when you leave for your jobs in the morning, he kisses you and holds the door open for you
He’ll draw a bath for you if he gets home before you, if you let him join or not is up to you
Also, if you ever get sick, he’s actually the best
Like he isn’t the best cook but he can heat up soup and tea
He’ll run to the store while you’re asleep and when you wake up, there’s like a whole tray of food in front of you and he’s like ‘it’s important to eat and drink so your body can heal’
And when you inevitably fall asleep after eating and taking medicine at his insistence, he tucks you in and clears away the dishes, exiting with little more than a kiss to your head
Ryoumen Sukuna
Love Language: gift giving and acts of service
So like Sukuna never says he loves you...ever
But he does notice if someone or something’s making you uncomfortable, and if so, said entity’s head will be presented to you later that day
You also just so happen to be the only person he can tolerate being around him for longer than 20 seconds
He also loves to give you jewelry, he likes seeing you adorned in something from him
He also isn’t gonna just handle all your problems for you, he will push you to become stronger by training with you 
He’ll also expect this energy to be reciprocated, as long as you’re pushing yourself to be better, he’s content with that
(He wants to see you grow because he’s scared that if he ever gets caught lackin one day you’ll end up dead)
He’ll never tell you or admit it, but Sukuna truly does care for you and hold you in a regard that he doesn’t have for others
So be grateful jkjk

Hi! Can I get brothers hcs reacting to MC having tattoos
 @assasinofkda Thank you for the ask!!​ I’m so sorry it took so long for me to do this, Life, ya know? lol It kinda turned into more than just their opinions? my bad lol Hope you enjoy!! But I’m sorry if it’s shit lmao
Warnings: implied seggs, being thirsty, swearing
Lucifer
I think he would be the most uptight about it, tbh.
Kinda a “dad” about it
“ThAt’Ll Be StUcK wItH yOu FoReVeR.”
However, I don’t think he’d judge you, or think less of you in any way. It’s your life.
He’d be more in favor of small, easily hidden tattoos, or those that have special meaning
If it’s a “cum slut” tramp stamp, you’ll definitely get a lecture after he tests that statement
I couldn’t see him ever getting one himself unless it was Luci + Dia <3
Would probably try to encourage you to not get anymore, and scowl when you inevitably do lol
Mammon
Like, he’s already putty in your hands, but when he found out about the tattoos?
Aroused “That’s cool, I guess.”
tsundere as always lol
He’d get over it quickly tho and kinda fan girl a little
His human is so badass. 
So cool. 
So sexy
Tries to convince you to get a “The Great Mammon’s Human” tattoo
shut that shit down lmaoooo
he thought he could be slick and take you on a date to get tattoos together
you picked one out for each other, the design a surprise until it was finished
he chose a chunky chibi crow with a single Grimm in it’s beak, and veeeery familiar sunglasses.
you picked “tsundere” in elegant cursive
still hasn’t fully forgiven you yes he has
Levi
Calls you a normie
But lasts .5689 seconds before gushing about how cool it is that you have tattoos and how pretty they are
16842% will explode if any of them are anime, manga or game related.
He’d for sure get a Ruri-chan half/full sleeve. I will not take criticism on this.
Being The Grand Admiral of Hell’s Navy, you assumed he had to at least have one, right?
Nope.
Snek bby doesn’t do people, or crowds. So sitting in a chair for hours on end with someone in close proximity, trying to make small talk and such seemed like he would rather be Cerberus’ chew toy.
However, if you were to suggest going with him, he wouldn’t think twice about it.
He almost passed out twice lmaooooo
You got Henry and he got The Lord of Shadow
<3
Satan
Absolutely has at least one cat tattoo. No arguments!
Would be impressed if you also had a cat tattoo, or maybe some meaningful book quotes
whatever you have, he will think it’s beautiful
loves the idea of being able to decorate one’s skin with whatever they want, to be whoever they want
because of the whole “my brother rage birthed me” thing
absentmindedly traces the outline of it while he’s reading or when you’re laying together
you get tattoos together
beauty and the beast themed
sadkjfbhalsrhf
Asmo
The one who talked you into getting “cum slut” LMAOOOO
also tests the accuracy of said statement
Doesn’t mind tattoos at all
He has a few himself
None that can be seen in public, but deff a hip tat or lower back
nothing too big or flashy for him, just small and dainty pieces
helps you make sure they stay moisturized
the two of you may or may not have wound up at the tattoo shop after the club one friday night
no one except him will ever see it though
seeing as he’s the only one who sees your-
Beel
This bby
12/10 best boi
Always down for you no matter what
He has a tribal tattoo on his bicep, so he definitely is very interested when he learns you also have tattoos
Thinks they’re beautiful
WIll go with you to appointments for sure
Would even get one with you
You got little matching tattoos of a cheeseburger
Whatever you choose to do with your body, he will support you 100%
and eat anyone who says otherwise
Belphie
Honestly
I can’t really see him really giving a shit either way
If you have them cool
If not, also cool
Won’t judge you either way
Will gladly listen to how and why you got them
Or go with you to an appointment
** BONUS **
Diavolo
Fascinated
Bby boy is so sheltered and never really around anyone excpet the same demons he’s been around for centuries
So when he found out you had tattoos he was intrigued
would sit and listen, with big shiny puppy eyes as you told him the stories of getting said tattoos and their meanings/what they mean to you
Would suggest getting matching tattoos
Barbatos tried to reel him, advising him that something as such could have a negative effect on how his subjects and other Nobles view him.
Dia didn’t hear a word lmaoooo
All he could think about was sharing something like this with you.
You both got tiny crowns
<3
Barb was P I S S E D
straight up gave him a Luci style lecture lmfao
Barbatos
Doesn’t mind
thinks you’re lovely no matter what you do
his background in-game is still pretty mysterious but I hc that he has like one
probably tribal, kinda big, going from his bicep, across his shoulder and stopping along his spine
lord have mercy
something about him going on about his duties as a butler when there’s serious ink underneath that long sleeve button up? So proper, yet bad?
;sdhgkvjhiu
hold on
*thirsty ass creeper breathing*
we now return to your originally scheduled programming :)
I feel like he got it back in the day
like a young and dumb kinda thing, maybe even rebelling a little
hasn’t gotten anymore, and doesn’t have a desire to
doesn’t mind if you do
will go with you, or help you take care of the healing process
Solomon
I hc that nearly everything under his clothes is covered in tattoos, or what would be the pact marks of his demons, and some from sorcery shiz.
so he’s 100% cool with you being tattooed
would be down to get one with you
easily talked you into getting the Prince Lucifer and Princess Diavolo chat stickers
;ouishdfkj;ns
lmaooo
he so would
lucifer was so pissed and Diavolo was overjoyed and couldn’t stop laughing
Simeon
Angel in every sense of the word
loves you no matter what
he cant have any
body is a temple and all that
but he does love them
thinks they're beautiful
Would probably prefer quotes from literature, or those with special meaning.
flower tattoos too
Also a fan of little whimsical tattoos.
A zipper tattooed on a scar from an old surgery?
Hilarious!
although he can’t get one, you got a little halo tattoo
he teared up a little at the gesture
Luke
I was wrong
Luke is definitely more uptight about it than Lucifer loool
Gasps when he first sees it/them
“MC! What is that?!” He shrieks
“A tattoo?” 
Luke.holybrain.exe has stopped working
Probably lectures you worse than Luci
May or may not hit you with a Bible

Behind The Glass (Yandere Dabi x GN!Reader)
Synopsis: inspired by the horror film; the boy, you are hired as a caretaker by Enji Todoroki to look after a doll that resembles his first born son, Toya. Little do they know, a set of eyes from the shadows are watching your every move.
CW: manga spoilers (Dabi's past), (soft) yandere, kidnapping, obsessive thoughts, film spoilers, death mentioned (not the reader).
This story was dedicated to @mango-bango-bby (her stories were amazing! Go check her out!)
Tumblr media
‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵
"Don't worry about that, Mr. Todoroki already took care of the car ride fee, also your things are already inside the house." The chauffeur reassured as you took out your wallet to pay for the ride. "Oh really, thank you so much." You replied with a smile on your face.
You made your way to the stone path that leads to the garden outside as you wait for Endeavor. The sound of the rippling water from the pond makes your body relaxed as you watched the koi swimming around. Actually, there is a reason why you took the job as a caretaker; you needed the money to start a new life from your toxic family and when you have gathered enough money, you finally afford to have a place you call your own.
"Hi there!" Your thoughts were interrupted by a shadow looming over your back. You quickly let out a surprised scream, making the figure flinch by the sudden loud sound.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry, I didn't know you are there!" You quickly apologized as the person sheepishly smiled. "Ah it's okay, I apologize for surprising you." She replied with a gentle smile, appearing on her face.
"So you're the new caretaker here. I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Fuyumi Todoroki!" She said as she reached a hand for a shake. "I'm (Y/N) (L/N), I love your hair though." You replied as you shook her hand. The two of you have a conversation about food and personal lives until the presence of the Todoroki patriarch appeared on the door leading to the garden. As you finished telling your name to the flame hero, he then proceeds to show you the porcelain doll that resembles Fuyumi's older brother when he was around 13 years old. In your own perspective, it looks really creepy and unsettling. "Hey Toya, this is the new caretaker, they'll take care of you when Dad's at work or I'm at school teaching." Fuyumi spoke as you walk over the doll and shook its hand. You failed to notice a pair of cyan colored eyes looking through the windows of the room.
"There are set of rules to follow for you to take care of Toya." Endeavor proceeds to give you papers that has the rules listed in it. "Fuyumi will leave the house for groceries and whatever you do, don't leave him alone." He looked at you sternly as you refrain your self from shaking. "Yes sir." You replied as you helped Fuyumi chopping the vegetables. As Endeavor left the kitchen, you then proceeded to tell Fuyumi what happened to her older brother.
"Well, Dad said he was burned to death from the flames he created from his quirk in the forest he used to trained on. Ever since that day, my dad ordered a doll that resembles him in order for mom to recover, but it didn't work." She said with sadness reflected on her eyes.
"If it's okay to ask you this, what happened to your mom?" You asked as Fuyumi stared at you, hesitant to give an answer. "She's in the hospital, recovering from the terrible events happened here. She had one request before she left, we'll take care of Toya and my other siblings." She replied with a sad smile as a tear came out from her eye. "I'm so sorry hear that, Fuyumi-chan." You said as you placed a hand on her shoulder as an act of comfort.
As you talked to Fuyumi, a figure stood outside. His mouth curled into a smirk as he listens to your sweet voice. Ohh it's like music to his ears and the way you laugh at his sister's joke. He smiled at the possibilities as soon as he'll take you; the both of you can cuddle, do the things that's lovers do and he'll take care of you the same way you took care of that pathetic doll that his father bought. You didn't know you have stalker (Dabi stalked you for many months), watching your every move before you even took the job from his old home.
Dabi didn't even know that his parents had a doll that reminds him when he was 13, before his so-called 'untimley death'. He mentally patted his back for following you to his childhood home, where all of his nightmare began. He'll be a great lover to you one-day, just you watch.
It's been two weeks since you came into the house as the caretaker. However, mysterious events happened to you as the days went by; Clothes were missing, the sudden noise from the outside, the knocking from the windows. You began to freak out even more as the doll moved from place to place. You even asked Fuyumi to sleep with you in the same room since you're so scared by the dolls presence, not realizing that it's the infamous villain who moved the doll from different places.
Fuyumi had a teachers' seminar for 3 days. Leaving you all alone with the doll. "Don't worry, give me a call when something had happened to you." She then gave you her phone number as she prepared to leave the house. Day 2 of Fuyumi's absence, it's night time and you felt the uncomfortable silence as the doll stared eerily back at you. Suddenly, the lights of the house began flicker and eventually, the lights were out. You let out a small scream as darkness began to consume the house.
As you check the house for the circuit breaker, loud footsteps and banging of the door were heard as you began to panic. "I know you're there, doll. Let me in." The voice chimed in as you scramble to find your phone and a hiding place. As soon as you find your phone, you locked yourself from your closet as blue flames began to burn down the sliding door of the house. Dabi smirked as he walked inside the house, searching for you.
"Come out come out, baby. I'll be easy on you when you come out." He taunted as you began to shake from the fear and paranoia you felt. You began to dial Fuyumi's number, hope rising in your mind, but to your bad luck, you forgot to load up your phone, making it impossible for you to call for help. An idea poped out as footsteps began to get louder from the room you were hiding; you will leave a voice recording message for Fuyumi in case you were dead or something.
Hearing the mumbles from the room you are hiding, a sinister smirked appeared on his face as he entered your room. You began to keep your mouth shut as the intruder began to search for you. Dabi checked the cabinet, under the bed, the trunk and finally, his eyes lands on the closet. Sweat began to roll down from your forehead as your eyes widen in fear. This is it, your gonna die. You didn't have time to say good bye to your family, friends and to Fuyumi.
You sighed in relief as he heard a loud noise from the living room, leaving the room to check from the source of the sound. This is it, you have to run, run away from the person that was trying to kill you. You began to jump from the window as running footsteps began to get louder from the room. Both (y/e/c) and cyan colored eyes met. Dabi had found you, his lover, the only person that makes him sane, his darling. Wasting no time, you ran as fast as you can towards the forest, unknowingly, Dabi screams for you to come back at his arms.
You ran and ran and ran, didn't know which way was the town. As your legs began to wear and cramp out, a glimpse of the street light gave you the motivation to speed up. This is it, you are safe, away from the perpetrator. Suddenly a swinging branch knocked you out, your body came crashing from the ground, your phone loosened from your pocket. You let out a groan as Dabi walked away from the tree he used to wait for you.
"Can't believe you run away from me, sweetheart." He said, carrying you in bridal style as you began to loose consciousness. "You took care of that piece of glass back there from the past 2 weeks, but don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on. I can't believe my old man bought that doll as my replacement." He chuckled.
You looked at him with wide eyes, fighting for your consciousness. "Y-you are..."
"Yes, sweetie. I am alive. I am Toya but I go by the name Dabi now." He whispered on your ear as your vision to fade out. As you began to pass out, you felt a lip pressed against your own as Dabi placed his forehead, closing his eyes. "I finally have you, baby. Now we can live our lives happily....forever..."
As Fuyumi returned from her 3-day siminar, she contacted the authorities when she found the door burned down and couldn't find you in the house. Some of them arrived at the forest and one of the policemen found your phone laying down with a pile of leaves covering it, containing the audio recording you made hours ago.. What makes Fuyumi, Endeavor and the authorities startled was the burned message from the walls outside of the house.
"I finally have them, now leave us be..."

best friends to lovers headcanons with atsumu
feat salty osamu
Tumblr media
okay let’s just jump into it
you guys met because you were desk partners at school
and just instantly clicked
okay okay so he is such a touchy person
very very touch starved
so as soon as you come into his life I mean please he is all over you
very clingy!! it’s so cute please
just simping for each other. we’ve all seen the manga panel of them simping. the miya twins are simps. of course atsumu’s gonna simp for you. I mean look at you. who tf wouldnt simp for you. I know I sure do. ahem anyway
atsumu gives you so many compliments!! I mean don’t get it twisted he does tease you a lot too,, but it’s always VERY light hearted <3
you practically live at their house and osamu pretends to be so sick of it but he’s actually just jealous that his identical twin is getting compliments and he’s not smh
watching so many films together!! he always heats up popcorn for you both and gets sooo many blankets and you both just snuggle up on the sofa together🥺
queue osamu insulting you guys which makes you and atsumu stick up for each other which just annoys him more please someone come get ur mans osamu😭😭
and the heists to the kitchen to steal osamu’s food🧍‍♂️ okay listen I love osamu but I just think it would be so funny for atsumu to have a bestie who just sits idly by in the middle of their chaos until atsumu wants to stir the pot so you’ll obviously help him djsbsjdnd
atsumu forcing you to help him dye his hair and osamu pouting in the corner like “help me too😐” and atsumu just being like sorryyyy we’re gonna go watch annabelle now bYE!!!
atsumu will also demand to dye your hair. if he sees you’re uncomfortable he will accept that,, but he will be sooo happy if you trust him enough to let him
okay but so. many. cuddles. so many hugs!!! seeing each other again after falling asleep on facetime the night prior?? hugging as a greeting bby. been hanging out together for hours on some big ass three am adventure round the town and are about to go home to sleep in his big, comfy bed?? hugging for comfort before the walk back.
elaborating on that- you guys always unwind in the evenings together (not liKE THAT DSJNSJS), if you guys don’t actually sleep together one night,, you’re on FaceTime. it’s one of those things where it’s become such a routine that it feels weird if it doesn’t happen, but neither of you are complaining!!
when it’s on FaceTime, you’ll both prop your phones up to charge and you both lie down facing each other,, he’s even bought you a plushie to cuddle when he’s not there🥺
when he is there, however, oh my gosh he is not letting go !! he’s holding you to his chest so tenderly, almost scared he’ll brake you, and slowly play with your fingers, maybe play with your stomach, his chin resting atop your head
always alternating who’s the little spoon, there’s that primal part of him that loves protecting you, but there’s also the deprived part of him that just wants to be held :((((
he always makes sure you eat!! osamu will put his differences aside to cook for you dw😌
oh my gosh so many late night trips to parks at like two am which always end with a phone call to osamu begging him to come pick you guys up
you both sat in the back with osamu driving in the front treating him like a taxi istg😭😭
you both end up to start chanting for him to take you guys to the McDonald’s drive thru💔
of course osamu does because deep down he truly loves both of you, although he will take it to his grave
atsumu is such a protective friend!! someone hitting on you?? oh no worries bby he’s got your back!! he’s right behind you telling them to fuck off <3
someone bothering you?? being mean in the slightest?? don’t you worry your pretty little head about any of that stuff anymore, at least not when atsumu’s around <3 he’s already swooping in,, protective arm placed around your shoulders as he lectures them of how beautiful you are <3
with the really persistent creeps, atsumu will pull you close to his body, pretending to be your boyfriend so the other guy will back away <3 don’t worry though!! he assures you afterwards that it brings him no pleasure,, it’s just to fend off the horrible men (even though he’s blushing,, it’s completely and utterly unrelated, how dare you think otherwise tsk silly billy!)
@haikyuuublog said: ‘Ok but like imagine that but u and Atsumu like ik Atsumu rolls up like “oh hey was this douche bothering you” and he just says shit like “oh sorry I thought u were trying to disrespect my girl here it would really suck if that’s what you were doing you know cause then I’d have to like beat ur ass u know haha”’ PLEASE SHE IS WONDERFUL
ahem anyway
his confession isn’t all that grand
granted in his head it was meant to be really really big
because you were special and he wanted to prove to you that he thought you were different from all the other girls he’s spoken about before
but it all just falls down before his eyes
he had tried to make reservations at a really fancy restaurant, was going to buy flowers, this man was fully prepared to go all out for you!! may not seem it but can definitely be a romantic; when he WANTS to be istg
but the reservation fell through, he couldn’t get to the shops, it’s a whole thing
so he decides to just fuck it, he asks osamu to make you guys some food for dinner, and osamu happily agrees (after atsumu promises to do all the washing up and laundry for two months)
osamu would’ve done it for nothing because he sees how good you are for his twin, but after atsumu’s promise of “I’ll do anything!!”,, he just couldn’t resist.
he sets up a picnic blanket on a field, absolutely legs it to the shops to buy the flowers and a pack of fake candles, and sets it all up for you
definitely tries to make chocolate covered strawberries but the chocolate goes everywhere so he tries to clean it up but then it ends up hardening and just it’s a whole thing
but it looks absolutely beautiful nonetheless!
sends you a text to meet him just before sunset
confesses really simply, just says his feelings outright and how it’s okay if you don’t reciprocate them, but osamu had pushed him to tell you because he was “sick of the puppy dog eyes over the dinner table as he tries to eat”
time for your answer bby <3
soft atsumu is the best stfu

—  all universal studios japan photos are taken by me. Most of these headcanons are also based on my experience in Universal Studios Japan!  (๑•͈ᴗ•͈)
—  content warning: slight innuendo/sexual content, strong language and mention of Endeavor
— summary: You spend a wonderful day in one of the most happiest places on earth with your just as wonderful significant other. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
—  You and Izuku stroll through Hogsmeade of the newly opened Hogwarts area of the Park. Your hand in his and your arms interlocked.
—  Izuku would geek out. As in geek out. He very much loved Harry Potter growing up and being able to go to USJ was a dream come true.
—  “It’s LeviOSA not LeviOSAR.” You continue to make Harry Potter jokes and Izuku was loving every minute of it. He could not stop laughing.
— You loved seeing his laugh as it made your heart feel all fluffy inside. God. why must this boy be so cute?
—  Izuku is just as big of a Potterhead as you. The two of you took the Hogwarts House test online and Izuku was sorted into Gryffindor whilst you were sorted into Slytherin. Two complete opposites yet you guys were the most adorkable couple ever. 
— Even the amusement park goers (the couples in particular) couldn’t help but turn their eyes to the two of you. 
—  The two of you are wearing matching Hogwarts robes, earning compliments from the staff giggling about how cute the two of you are! 
— YOU GUYS WERE MOST PROBABLY THE CUTEST COUPLE IN THE AMUSEMENT PARK!?? 
— LIKE YES TWO SOFT CUTIES AND IN HOGWARTS ROBES OF ALL MATCHING OUTFITS THEY COULD HAVE WORN?? COUPLE GOALS
—  You were originally going to hang out with the entire Dekusquad but ofc your friends just decided to play matchmaker and instead collectively backed out and said they were busy bc of uni (obvs a lie)
—  You wonder why they would play matchmaker when the you and Izuku were already together in the first place and they know that very well HSKHSHSKHS 
—  anyways ochaco, tsuyu, shoto and tenya are very supportive wbk
—  Izuku just wanted this day to be very special and to be between the two of you only. 
—  “Izu-kun! Let’s try out the Butterbeer and see if it tastes just as good as the books and movies make them to be!” You point to a food stall that sells the famous beverage seen in the series, with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic kinds.
—  “Of course (Y/N)!-chan Anything for you!” He says sweetly and gingerly hands the money to the food vendor. 
— For fun and because why the hecc not, you decided to order the alcoholic variant of the drink whilst Izuku had purchased the non-alcoholic one.
—  In turn, you ended up becoming a little bit tipsy as the two of you enter the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride.
—  Izuku stares in awe as the waiting line makes you go through the interior of Hogwarts Castle. Both you and Izuku couldn’t help but just stare in amazement. 
—  You smile at the sight of your cute freckled boyfriend admiring the view and the area before him. It was as if he was transported into the actual world of Harry Potter and you couldn’t help but feel the overwhelming emotions he was feeling right now. 
—  The two of you hold hands during the entire attraction as both of you are seated in a 3-seater ride. T’was cute uwu
—  Albeit the fact that you were a little bit tipsy, the entire 4-D ride was magnificent as it literally took you through every adventure Harry Potter and the rest of the cast had experienced. 
— It was probably one of the best rides you’ve been to tbh??
— “The Dementors were so creeeeeeepy.” Izuku shuddered, rubbing his arm. “”They looked so real!” He turns to you, wonder and amazement plastered all over his face.
—  “THE WORST THING ABOUT PRISON WAS THE DEMENTORSSSS.” You howled, your voice practically echoing around the exit area. 
—  “IZUkU!!! I LOAF YOUUUUUUU SOW MUCHHHHHIE.”
—  Midoriya knew that you got a bit tipsy due to the butterbeer, as soon as he had noticed the body language you were showing, he supports your weight by holding you tightky and then slowly take you to the cafe near the entrance that served hot coffee.
—  Thankfully, you were able to sober up so that the two of you could go around the rest of the park before the Night show took place in Hogwarts Castle. 
—  “You know, I’m so lucky to have you (Y/N)-chan. Just like how lucky Ron is to have Hermione.” He plants a kiss on your forehead, he firmly holds you as the evening light show of Hogwarts Castle begins. 
—  “You’re overreacting Izu-kun. I’m not as smart as Hermione.” You shake your head, trying to avoid eye contact as he just made another cheesy Harry Potter Joke. “More like I’m the Ron to your Hermione. I mess up sometimes yet you’re always there for me to help me up when I’m down.” 
—  “Then I guess we don’t have to compare ourselves to Ron and Hermione then. Because I wouldn’t have a life like this with you any other way. I love you (Y/N)-chan.”
—  “I love you too Izu-kun.” 
—  An array of colorful fireworks pop in the sky and the both of you look deep into each other’s eyes, holding each other tightly til the festivities end.
Tumblr media
— The two of you arrived at Universal Studios Japan earlier than most people. Bakugo always wanted to be first in line even though the two of you had fast passes to specific rides. He just rolls like that.
—  You forced him to wear matching matching elmo and cookie monster headbands with you. You were wearing the Elmo one and he was wearing the Cookie monster design.
  —  He’d spoil you soooooooo bad like he’d be grumpy at first and refuse to buy you this cute little souvenir item you’d probably never use, but he’d still spoil the heck out of you. Just as long as it was mildly reasonable.
—  He was all for thrill rides. As long as he got to show off how bad-ass and brave he is to you. That was until you discovered one of the Jurassic Park rides in the park and HOO BOY...
  —  You were internally squealing at the sight of him wearing the cookie monster that your brain just?? kinda stopped?? You secretly take a pic of your explosive boyfie and then change his contact name to Cookie Monster.
—  You first enter the Jurassic Park area at the insistence of Kirishima, Kaminari, Mina and Sero whomst you were supposedly going to meet after 2 hours
— As you roam around, there’s awkward silence between the two of you until you begin to obnoxiously sing the theme song of the series to try and annoy Bakugo, “TENENENEN TENENENENEN TENENENEN”
—‘’(Y/N) Geez, could you stop singing that stupid song? It fucking annoys me.’’
—‘’No way we’re riding that shitty fucking water ride. I will not get wet today.”
— “Oh really? What if you get wet in different ways?”
—He smirks at you, taking your hand and rubbing your thumb, “Let’s see when we get home.’’
— “OH WAIT BUT FIRST LET’S SHARE A TURKEY LEG!’’ You point to a nearby food stall, selling turkey legs for 980 yen. 
— Katsuki begrudgingly follows you to the stall and buys a turkey leg for the two of you to share. 
—You were deep in thought. Fantasizing if you could eat the Turkey Leg with Katsuki “Lady and Tramp” style. 
— Much to your dismay, Katsuki had finished the Turkey Leg before you could get another bite. You pout and cross your arms, yet he doesn’t notice you silently shooting daggers at him.
— You then quickly forget about the Turkey Leg as soon as the Flying Dinosaur attraction hovered above you. The amusing screams of the people riding it could be heard as it passed at a speed you could have never imagined.
—  ‘’Suki-kun!! Let’s ride that next!’’
— ‘’We just ATE. Are you fucking serious right now?’’
—  ‘’Or are you too chicken?’’ You tease him playfully. ‘’Hmm… Looks like eating the entire turkey leg turned you into a chicken now didn’t it?’’
—  ‘’Fine. Fuck this.’’ He tilts his head, gesturing you to follow suit. ‘’Let’s get into the fast pass line.’’
— You get on the ride and see up close the details of the dinosaur as it’s positioned upright for you two to get on. You take your seats and are instructed to strap yourselves in the seat. 
— You get a wonderful view of the sea as the ride continues to ascend, going up and down, at high speeds. You begin to scream your heart out, the adrenaline rushing through you. Bakugo tries to put up a face, not wanting to scream and show any weakness. You look at him again as the ride arrives at a downwards slope, creating a momentum before it descends again at high speed.
— The ride begins to move, positioning itself like a pterodactyl would. You take Bakugo’s hand and give it a tight squeeze. You look at him for comfort and he nods at you lovingly. You were at ease albeit the fact that the two of you are about to experience one of the most terrifying amusement park rides ever.
The two of you are then positioned to be dangling in mid-air, the safety strap from a while ago being the only thing holding you in place. 
—  ‘’(Y/N)! I LOVE YOU!’’ He screams his lungs out as the ride passes through the ocean again, giving you a clear view of the sea surrounding the wonderful prefecture of Osaka.
—  You smile cheekily and begin to scream from the top of your lungs too. ‘’I LOVE YOU TOO KATSUKI!’’
—  ‘’Did you really mean that I love you?’’ You ask him. Your adrenaline is still pumping you up.
— ‘’Of course I did you nerd. I had to get it out of my chest.’’ He says, avoiding eye contact, scratching the back of his neck.
—  The ride then ends abruptly and you could never feel more grateful. You could practically kiss the floor as your legs shaked once you got off. Katsuki supports you with his arm around yours and the two of you get off the ride.
—  ‘’I want to hear you say that again.’’ You poke his cheek but he doesn’t move an inch.
—  ‘’Come on. We have to go look for Kirishima in the others.’’
—  ‘’One more time Suki-kun! Please?’’ You look at him with your most dramatic puppy eyes and he couldn’t help but give in.
—  ‘’Fine.’’ He says grumpily. ‘’I love you.’’
—  ‘’I love you too. Let’s never ride that again.’’
— ‘’Agreed.’’
Tumblr media
— Shoto made sure that he would make the most of the time with you before the two of you go back to University. Booking the most luxurious hotel available, fine dining every single night you were in Osaka and going on private local tours and taking high-end trips to Nara and Kyoto.  
— He’s spoiling you so so so bad and as much as you didn’t want Shoto to spend too much, he kept on insisting. 
— This is also why he decided your trip near your birthday so that in a sense, this is his birthday surprise for you too!
— He wanted to go all out just for you. 
— You feel like you’re in Cloud 9 every time you’re with Shoto. How much more when you’re going on an extra special trip with him? 
— “This Eren Jeager’s voice sounds familiar. It’s as if we have the same voice.” Todoroki looks at the screen perplexed, putting on the 4-D Glasses and making sure you were already comfortable on your seat.
— ‘’I know right. You’re hotter of course.’’ You whisper, giving him a peck on the cheek.
— Attack on Titan is your all time favorite anime ever.
— Shoto wasn’t too well-versed in anime, so him bringing you to USJ is one of the best things he could ever do for you.
— Especially since the park had a limited time Attack on Titan 4-D Attraction!!
— YOU KNEW you had to go there and it was also a perfect opportunity for you to bond with Shoto
— As long as you were happy and he could support you with your interests, he was happy too.
— Being able to go on the Attack on Titan 4D Ride was a dream come true.
— You brought Shoto to the souvenir shop first and bought matching headbands for the two of you.
— You were wearing a headband that had two little chibi Levis on each side whilst Shoto had little chibi Erens on his uwu
— He’d be spoiling you so so much !!! Any souvenir item you’d set your eyes on, he’d immediately buy it for you!! 
— Before you can even say no, he’s already bought it using his luxurious black credit card. YOUR BOYFIE WAS RICH OFC I MEAN WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT!?
—  "That was amazing." Todoroki says in awe, still trying to process the thrill he had just experienced. "I wonder what would happen if titans started appearing all of a sudden?"
—  "Let's say a smol titan appears right now. I wonder if you could pierce it with your ice?" You tilt your head, beginning to think about unrealistic scenarios. "Anywhooo, shall we go to the next ride on our list? It's called Hollywood Dream!"
—  "Let's gooooo~" He hums monotonously, earning giggles from you. He wraps an arm around your shoulder, pulling you close as you walk side by side. 
— “Okay... so there are two variants to this ride. There’s one that goes in reverse and the other one goes so high up that we have an overview of the whole park.” You go through a brochure that you picked up at the entrance.
 — “Whichever one you’re more comfortable with (Y/N).” 
—  “Let’s go on the one where we can see our hotel because of how high it is!”
—  “OKAY NVM THIS WAS A BAD IDEA.” You say as the rollercoaster begins to reach it’s momentum, the ride going higher and higher.  Until you can see your hotel and every recognizable landmark from afar. 
—  Shoto then clasps your hand, giving it a tight squeeze. “It’s okay (Y/N). I’m right here. Just hold my hand okay?” 
—  You nod slowly, taking a deep breath. You close your eyes and feel a fell swoop on your stomach as the wind passes through your face.
—  Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop the Feeling begins to play as the rollercoaster begins to descend from roaring heights. They purposefully attached speakers to the ride so that the park goers would feel hyped up and excited instead of being terrified of how high up they are. 
—  Shoto’s hands are still intertwined with yours. You weren’t letting go. 
—  The screams of everyone else in the ride grows louder and louder and you can’t help but sing to the song instead.
—  “I GET THIS FEELINGGG INSIDE MY BONES! IT GOES ELECTRIC, WAVEY WHEN I TURN IT ONN.” You began to sing, raising your arms up high as you slowly begin to enjoy the ride. 
—  Shoto who was sitting on the end yet is still able to keep his calm composure, turns to you, and a small smile flashes on his face when he sees you channel your nervousness through singing. 
—  He begin to sing along with you too! AAAHHH WHAT A CUTIE
—  “All through my city, all through my home, We're flying up, no ceiling, when we in our zone.” He continues. You look at him and ease up a little bit once you see his handsome face and comfortable presence beside you.
— And before you knew it, the ride came to a stop. It was finally over. You take a deep breath and Shoto helps you out of your seat.
— “I got that sunshine in my pocket! Got that good song in my feet. I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops!” You and Shoto begin to duet to the pop and colorful song. You begin to fully enjoy the ride, barely even noticing the ride making sharp and fast turns as it continues to go up and down. 
— “I might have hated it at first but that was exhilarating.” 
— “I knew you could do it.” He says proudly, planting a kiss on your forehead. “You are the bravest person I know after all.” 
— “I wouldn’t have overcome my fears if it weren’t for you though.” You scrunch your nose, and hold on to Shoto’s arm. Your heart still beating so fast. “Thank you for being my safe space Shoto. I’m always at peace whenever I’m with you. Thank you for always being my comfort person.”
— “Of course (Y/N). Why wouldn’t I be?” He tilts his head, clueless. “Are you game enough to ride the reversed one this time?”
— “Of course I am!” 
— He chuckles, “That’s my love. If you feel like you can’t do it, Just know that I’m always here to support you.” 
Tumblr media
— The first attractions on your list were the water rides. More specifically the Jurassic Park Water Ride and the JAWS ride. 
— You and Kirishima would try every ride in the park if you could. He loved to try and experience new things especially if he’s able to do them with you!
— Kiri is a very very fun person and would always be game with anything tbh!!
— You’re wearing matching dinosaur hats with Kirishima!!
— ‘’RAWR!’’ You make cutesy dinosaur gestures at your boyfriend, jumping around in your place. ‘’Can you believe we’re finally here in USJ!?’’ He blushes profusely, pecking your cheek. 
—  ‘’I can’t believe it too.’’ He chuckles then pauses for a moment before...
— ‘’RAWR!’’ He says back, his hands forming into claws, his cute mouth open wide and his sharp shark teeth very much visible. You giggle at his returned gesture, finding it more cuter than you should.
— ‘’(Y/N) you’re adorable! You know that right?’’ He laughs and continues to hold you tightly.
— ‘’Pshh of course I do! I have an equally adorable boyfriend too!’’ You look up at him, beaming.
— The two of you then jump in your place in unison, both mimicking each other’s cute ‘’RAWR!’’ and hand gestures as Kirishima pulls you into a hug.
— ‘’Don’t forget manly!’’ He winks and grabs your hand, taking you to the Jurassic Park Water ride.
— “I actually find it smart that we go on the water rides first so that we can just change clothes immediately after. Good thinkening Kiri!” You remark, patting him on the head.
— THINKENING??? THINKENING??? Eijirou could not think straight right now because of how cute you are
— ANYWAY HE WASNT GOING TO LOOK OR ANYTHING KIRISHIMA IS A GENTLEMAN HE IS NOT A BAD BOI WHO WILL GIVE IN TO TEMPATION!!
— You looked so excited to go on the rides and he couldn’t be happier seeing you like this 
— IT ALSO DIDNT HELP THAT YOU WERE WEARING A WHITE SHIRT SO IF YOU DID GET WET THEN 👁👄👁
— The ride begins and the all too familiar theme song of the series begins to play as the gates to the Jurassic Park opens as the water ride begins to move
— Although the ride was very predictable, and you knew the surprise at the end was the T-rex trying to jumpscare you as the ride falls down a high incline, splashing all of the people on the ride. 
— Kirishima still looked like he had lots of fun. 
— He turns to you, a huge cheeky smile plastered upon his face as he tries to dry his clothes. “That was fun!” 
— The ride may seem calm at first, but then the T-Rex begins to secretly appear around the forest-ish area surrounding the water ride. 
— “It was!” You smiled back. You look down on your shirt innocently. “I didn’t expect that I’d get this wet so I thought wearing a white shirt would be-”
— “LET’S BUY YOU A JURASSIC PARK SHIRT IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP OKAY!? SO THAT YOU WON’T WASTE YOUR OTHER CLOTHES AND YOU CAN CHANGE IN THEM FOR THE JAWS RIDE INSTEAD.” Eijirou stands up so suddenly from the boat. He takes you by the hand without shooting you another glance as not to show how flustered he was. 
— “Okay then...” You reply, as Kirishima whisks you away, leading you to the souvenir shop just outside of the attraction.
— Kirishima breathes a sigh of relief as he sees you exit the comfort room. 
— He calls you over, “(Y/N)! While you were changing your clothes, I went back to the souvenir shop and realized that they were actually couple shirts!
— We are so Adora-saurable! was written on both of your shirts along wtih a cute dinosaur couple print on them.
— “Funny how you were able to find a Dinosaur pun on the word adorable! What a coincidence!” You giggle, poking Kirishima’s cheek. “I think we had enough of dinosaurs for now. Shall we check out the other rides?”
— “Right beside ya!” Kiri flashes you his signature smile, taking your hand in his again, swinging it back and forth as the two of you continue to your next destination. 
Tumblr media
— The way you scolded him was more in a joking way though!!
— You guys arrive a bit late because Kaminari ended up sleeping through his alarm 🙃
— When the two of you met up at the entrance you scolded him so bad because you practically lost two hours and HNGGGGG
— All he could do was hug you tightly from behind and say “gomen!” “gomen!” over and over again
— you were loving every second of it!!!! denki was being super cute and you couldn’t help but just go uwu
— BUT THEN YOU SCOLDING HIM  DIDN’T REALLY MATTER BC YOU GUYS HAD FAST PASSES
— YOU DO BE FLEXING YOUR FAST PASSES THO
— THE TWO OF YOU FELT LIKE RICH KIDS FLEXING YOUR GUCCI FLIPFLOPS WHEN IN FACT YOU WERE FLEXING YOUR FAST PASSES
— OK SO you and Kaminari decided to go to the Despicable Me/Minions area first not just for the memes but also because it was the most popular attraction this season.
— You also wanted to get on the rides there first since it takes 2 hours before you can even get in
— YOU HAVE MATCHING MINION POPCORN BUCKETS WITH HIMM!!
— The design of yours was a cute little minion holding a teddy bear whilst his was a special Christmas reindeer edition.
—  “(Y/N)-chan! Look at the line! Should we line up and take a picture with the Minions!?” He points to a meet and greet line for the yellow mascots
—  You weren’t exactly the biggest fan of these abominations but facebook mom memes aside, Denki looked super super excited and you didn’t want to ruin a great start to a perfect day so you just went with it.
—  The staff attendants thought Kaminari looked super excited like cute little sparky puppy seeing the minions so they gave you cute minion button pins!!
— The Despical Me Area pretty much played Happy by Pharell Williams non-stop as people stroll around so you and Denki couldn’t help but dance along to it.
—  It didn’t matter if people looked at the two of you weirdly either!! Just being with denki and being chaotic with him is one of the best feelings ever and he feels the same way too
— You guys did all kinds of funky dances til the two of you got exhausted and decided to try out the other rides. 
— There were also carnival game stands and Kaminari ended up winning you the exact same unicorn stuff toy seen in the Despical Me movies.
— Cotton Candy, Gumballs, Skittes, anything remotely sweet being sold on the stalls, you tried all of them.
— “IT’S SO FLUFFFFFY!!!” You imitate one of the cute characters from the movie, hugging the stuffed toy to your chest. “Thank you Kami-kun! I will cherish this forever!”
— Kaminari grins widely, “I know you aren’t too fond of the Minions but thank you for still going with me to this area first.” You can see the emotion and the appreciation in his eyes. 
— “OMG DENKI OFC! WHY WOULD I NOT ENJOY THIS!?” You say incredulously. “I had such an amazing time! Minions and their annoying voices aside. I always have the best time when I’m with you!”
— Crocodile tears start to form on Denki’s eyes as he pulls you into a hug. “AAAAAAAHH (Y/N)-CHAN I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU. THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH ME. I’M DOING THIS FOR THE MEMES.” 
— You giggle, patting Kaminari on the back. “It’s alright alright. I love you too! But this time you have to compensate by going on a horror ride with me okay?”
— “Ahahahahahaha what?”
Tumblr media
— Endeavor had sponsored your trip and all expenses to ~try~ and start to mend his broken relationship with his son, although you refused at first, Toya did not. When he went to visit his mother and Enji was there to visit too, He got the money from him, ignored him, and flipped him off (aka gave him the bad finger) before leaving.
His three other siblings were in on this trip too. However, Toya wanted your trip to Universal Studios Japan between the two of you ONLY. His siblings went on a different day.
— He wasn’t the biggest fan of matching outfits or any accessories with you like any couple would and you didn’t want to pry on that. He really wasn’t the type of person to do that to begin with.
— And although on the inside he does feel a bit sorry about not being able to be cutesy with you it just really wasn’t his thing. 
The two of you would most probably make out in a secluded area in the Hogsmeade area that is barely noticed by any other park goers. How daring and how secsy
 ‘’Seriously? Snoopy and Hello Kitty? THIS is the area you want to go in first?’’
—‘’Come on! It’s not everyday you get to loosen up like this. Why not try out the kiddie rides first? Besides, I want to see how long you can last without taking the cuteness anymore.”
— The staff sees you enter the Snoopy and Woodstock ride and couldn’t help but ask a very imprudent question. “The two of you look like such a cute couple! I bet your child is just as precious!”
—“Excuse me… what?” You ask, your eyes widen. “We’re not-”
—“The kid is on it’s way. We’ll have one soon once we return here.” Toya says casually, sending you a flirtatious wink and you feel flushed and slightly embarrassed.
—“Jeeeeeeeeeez. Did you really have to say that?” You try to avoid contact with him so he wouldn’t see the embarrassment or rather the arousal present all over your face.
—“What? It’s true.” He smirks, taking your hand. “Do you not want anything to happen between us?” He teases again.
—“NO NO NO NO ITS NOT THAT.” You yelp in embarrassment, your eyes still cast down on the ground.
—You notice him kneeling down and before you could even react, instead of facing the ground, you were staring down at your boyfriend’s handsome face instead. 
—“Come on… I thought we were going to the Hello Kitty ride next?
— “Oh yeah right! That ahahaha let’s go!” You look up again before he could see your face looking like a tomato.
— You couldn’t help but be flustered by his words time and time again. This time though there was no point in hiding it. He got to you.
— He grabs you by the waist, and whispers into your ear, “Besides, I’m saving matching outfits with you once we bring our child here in the future. We would be the cutest fucking family out there.”
— You’ve already been dating for a year?? and your heart still flutters every time?? anything remotely romantic comes out of his mouth???
— HE WAS SUCH  FLIRT OH LORD AND YOU JUST SWOON AND FALL FOR HIM EVEN MORE 
— The other couples for some reason never thought of going on the cutesy rides, so as soon as they saw you and Toya going on them, the line for most of the rides got even longer.
— Toya might be lowkey an edgelord  but you guys became trendsetters in a span of an hour!! 
— OK BUT SPEAKING OF EDGELORD... DABI AS AN E-BOY HURRRRRRRRR YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE MANIFESTING YOUR BOYFRIEND TO SUDDENLY BE IN E-BOY CLOTHES ON THE SPOT TOTALLY NOT NOPE NOPE NOPE NEVER 
— He still looked hot just wearing a plain dark hoodie but you still couldn’t get the thought of Toya wearing those fits out of your head.
— “Earth to (Y/N)? You’re spacing out again.” He waves a hand in front of your face and you snap back to reality. “We’ve rode every attraction here. I think we should go check out the other rides? The Jaws one next please. I can’t stand all this cute sparkly cuteness anymore.”
—  “AHAH! YOU FINALLY SNAPPED!” You laugh, acting as if you finally got back at Toya for making you such a blushing and stuttering mess just a few minutes ago. Dabi shrugs it off however. 
— “OKIE! Now that I got out of my system, let’s continue to go around shall we?” You huff and pace off to the next ride that you wanted to go on.
— Toya shakes his head and smirks, following you to wherever you were going to take him next. That didn’t stop him from teasing you every few minutes though.
— The two of you did come back to USJ, but only a few days later to accompany Shoto since Fuyumi and Natsuo had to take the train home due to having to attend important matters.
— The same park attendant who complimented you and Dabi was managing the Snoopy ride again. She recognizes the two of you instantly and waves. “Oooh! I didn’t think the two of you would come back again so early! Is this the cute child you were talking about?”
— You and Toya collectively facepalm whilst Shoto looks at the staff with a very puzzled look.
— Hopefully, the next time you come back, you finally have a happy family with Toya and you can finally show off to that sassy ol’ attendant that you have a cute little kid with you to go on rides with.
Tumblr media
—This is officially your 7th date with Shinsou. 
— Although the two of you are already official, you can’t help but feel and notice how cold and distant he is to you still. As if he hasn’t exactly opened up to you.
—  And you didn’t want to end this day without seeing him loosen up and open his shell.
 —  You wanted a relationship with Shinsou in where the two of you could talk to each other about your own problems and help each other out. 
— That was the ideal relationship after all, and you knew for a fact that you could have something special like this with Shinsou. 
—  He did confess to you through a love poem and if that isn’t the most romantic thing ever, then I don’t know what is. 
—  You wanted to be his comfort person after all. Just as he is with you although I think he doesn’t know that yet exactly. 
—  “SOU-KUNNNN you know what else we can do?” 
—  “...What?”
—  “Let’s go on all the boring rides!!” You take his hand and start running to the next attraction. 
—  “T-that’s not actually a bad idea. Let’s go.” He mutters, albeit shy at the touch of your hands at first, he grows comfortable after a few minutes with your hand intertwined with his. 
—  SHINSOU IS SO TOUCH-STARVED AND YOU CAN’T WAIT TIL YOU GIVE HIM ALL THE HUGS AND KITHES IMAGINABLE LATER THAT NIGHT
— It was the middle of the afternoon and the park was less busier than usual, which meant all the time for you and Shinsou to try out every exhilarating ride the park had to offer. 
—  The only ones left were more performance-based attractions where you would be watching a live musical or play. One of those being a Terminator based ride. 
—  The concept of a Terminator live-action retelling was pretty cool but certainly not you or Shinsou’s cup of tea either. However, it was your goal with him to try out every ride in the park. So, eh why not?
—  The two of you sit in the front seat, making Shinsou within range of the stage actors to be affected by his quirk. 
—  “Don’t try to make them do anything bad okay?” You whisper to him. “This live show does look boring and really needs to liven up a little.
—  “I won’t do that of course. Let’s just make this show more entertaining.” 
— He then uses his quirk on the stage actors, making them do fun and entertaining dances. 
— The audience burst out into laughter as Shinsou had unintentionally made a twist to the musical playing before you. 
— “Of course not! You made that Terminator Musical much better! I bet they took notes and try to switch up the acting and the cheesiness for the next show!” 
— “Hopefully they will. Because the show was boring as hell.” He deadpans, putting his hands in his pockets. 
— Everyone in the theatre left in good spirits. 
— He stops in his tracks and looks at you. How lucky he was to have someone like you in his life.
— “Thank you for today too (Y/N). I really enjoy spending time with you like this.” He looks away, yet fails to hide his flustered face. 
— “You’re welcome!” You lean in and tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek. 
—  Despite how cold and straightforward he may be sometimes, you never complained. You accepted him for who he was and who he is. 
— The two of you take the train ride home in peace and solace knowing that slowly but surely, Shinsou becomes more and more comfortable with you and you can’t wait for the time he finally opens up and bears his heart to you. 
Thank you for reading ♡

Fluffy Toshikazu Hazamada x Reader headcanons
For the 2 people in the world that simp for this feral bby (me included)
Tumblr media
Uh yea he's definitely used Surface to pretend to make out with you before the relationship started
But other times he'd use his stand to practice a confession since he knows that he comes off as unsettling and it's even worse when he's nervous
When the time came, he was such a nervous babey
The irl version is way prettier than the one out of wood omg-
When you accepted him he was genuinely shocked.
"D-dammit! I knew they'd hate me this was such a bad ide-" "I like you too, Hazamada." "Wait w-wait huh!? This isn't a fucking joke right? Oh my god,,,:0 :D"
He gave you the biggest hug after that and immediately asked you if you wanted to hang out at the local book store after school.
He is very cautious when it comes to the relationship at first, he loves you a lot and he doesn't want to scare you off. He also tries to refrain from having that impulse to use his stand to control you to make the relationship go how he wants it. He's done his research, he wants you to be genuinely happy and in a healthy relationship.
He's so nervous when it comes to PDA. The most you'll get is hand holding and the occasional cheek kisses. If you're taller than him it's so cute seeing him having to go on his tippy toes, but you'd never openly admit that due to his {ever present} anger issues.
He gets flustered so easily since he's touched starved and not used to the affection you give him
Call him cute/sappy nicknames like baby, Toshi or Kazu, sweetheart, etc and he will MELT it makes him feel so happy
Sometimes Surface comes out and playing with it is your favorite thing omg
Sometimes you stick little post it notes with doodles of various expressions on it when it hasn't transformed to anyone.
Hazamada gets jealous of his own stand though because of its tendancey to belittle its own user, but you make sure to give as much comfort as he needs and reminds him that his stand is just an extended part of him and it's just more of him to love
Once you asked him if he can change Surface to look like him and you got so happy.
"Oh my god I can't believe it this just got better. Now that I have just not one handsome boyfriend, but T W O"
He only shows you off to only make Josuke jealous and to prove Rohan wrong that he is worthy of someone's attention and love.
You think it's mean for him to try to make Josuke feel bad that he's single, but you enjoy playing along so your boyf can feel proud of himself.
Oh he babbles all the time about you to Koichi! Whenever Koichi talked about Yukako to Hazamada, he did feel irritated and it felt like he was just rubbing it in that he's single, but now he completely understands why he does it.
Occasional double dates with Yukako and Koichi :))
If you're already into anime/manga, he's giving you all of his recommendations and enjoys comparing various characters/ships to you and him.
If you're not into anime/manga, he'll freak out a tad bit because how have you not been exposed to the "modern art and cinematic storytelling" of anime yet! Be prepared for sleepovers where he forces you to watch all of his favorite animes with him.
He doesn't go out much so a lot of dates are very similar to what I just now mentioned. You, him, a whole bunch of your favorite snacks, and his laptop running so you two can watch your favorite shows together <3
I can see him wanting to be the more dominant one in the Relationship, but damn it he just loves reveling in the feeling of being loves and your warmth when he's the little spoon when y'all cuddle.
His brain just short circuts because he's never had someone that made him feel like he's not just "that one creepy, weird, quiet kid" at school and actually feel confident in himself
Sometimes he likes to lay on top of you, arms just squeezing the life out of you, while he just talks about how much he loves you in between little kisses that go all around your face and neck. He's so soft for you.

➩Rainy dates ☈
[Mikey,Chifuyu,Hanma & Baji] ✦
⤷ going on a date together with them but it starts to storm
Tumblr media
[Warnings; little bit of manga spoilers || slight use of swear words und little mention of drugs!]
Tumblr media
Mikey;
You and Mikey were going out today to a new store that opened just recently. Mikey was constantly talking about it for the whole day since he find out how good their dorayaki were. Since u got nothing to do today u guys decided to check it out.
The line was long but you still waited for an hour until it was your turn to go in. As you both ordered and exited the sudden rush of wind made you shiver.
"Uhmm mikey should we go home it looks like it's gonna thunderstorm"
The clounds turned into dark gray color pretty quickly and the sun disappeared out of the sight. Meanwhile mikey was in his own world munching onto the food.
Little droplets of rain started to fall as you quickly grabbed mikey hand and walked into a playground. There was a playhouse in the middle of the playground and you both decided to wait there for the rain to end.
"Mmh... glad we stopped by" mikey smiled as you nodded. "Are you cold tho" he proceeded to give you his jacket.
After awhile the rain got stronger and you guys still sat there chatting and cuddling under the rain.
When it finally finished raining all there was to see was a big rainbow covering the sky and the sun coming back up.
As you were about to stand up you noticed the weight on your lap as you saw that mikey fell asleep.
"I love you Mikey"
Tumblr media
Chifuyu;
It was a sunny afternoon as you decided to visit your boyfriend chifuyu who's currently working at the pet shop. You waited infront of the shop as you noticed the dark clouds slowly covering up the sun. You cursed to yourself for not bringing an umbrella.
The sounds of a door being open made you quickly shift your focus to your dark haired boyfriends exiting the shop.
"Chifuyuuu!!" U ran into him to give him a huge hug making him blush.
"Why did you come over? I told you it was gonna storm today and you're gonna catch a cold"
Chifuyu quickly wrapped his jacket around you and both of you decided to ran home as quickly as possible.
When the rain started pouring you guys got desperate since your home was still 5 minutes away.
" you know what? It doesn't matter let's just enjoy this moment and we can take a shower later" chifuyu grinned as his hair covered his face.
You both just played in the rain like little kids and jumped into every puddle you were able to find until the both of you were soaked.
Chifuyu pulled you in and gave you a long passionate kiss before entering your home. You both showered togethered and watched movies for the rest of the day.
Tumblr media
Hanma;
The relationship between you and hanma wasn't the greatest. Fights would occur often between you two and it always felt like a cat and mouse game.
Him teasing you was something you got used to and the smell of cigarettes was something you used to hate but now it's nothing new to have him smoke around you. It was already past midnight and hanma was nowhere to be seen.
You being like a worried mom decided to call him multiple times and wait outside for him to come home. Your legs shaking and your anxiety of something bad happened was unbearable.
You hated this. Worried about him you never noticed the rain slowly pouring. Suddenly a familiar voice was heard in a distance.
Oh fuck rain..ughh"
You turned to the direction of the voice to see hanma throwing down his cigarette as he was soaked wet from the rain.
You quickly ran towards him almost tearing up because of how much you were worried about him.
The smell of alcohol and drugs was all over him. It disappointed you alot that even he noticed.
"What's with that shitty face baby? It's late you should've been asleep" the words he soflty spoke hurt you.
You can't sleep when he's doing stuff like that making you worry so much.
Hanma quickly took you in a hug as he says
"I'll ease up on alcohol and drugs if that makes you happy"
he was pretty wasted and kinda high as you noticed him leaning his head onto you shoulder trying his best to stand. You smile as you try your best to bring him home and but him onto the bed.
He fell asleep with a alight smile on his face that made your heart melt.
Tumblr media
Baji;
Baji was usually on house arrest but today he was supposed to get groceries since his mom worked that day so he had to do it himself so he decided to invite you along.
You both met near the convenience store near by and went to the restaurant next to it since they have pretty good peyoung yakisoba.
You both were full and by the time you guys finished it started to rain heavily.
Baji quickly gave you his hoodie and tried his best to cover you up while you two ran to the stroe to buy all the things he needs.
Even when you both finished with buying all the stuff the rain hasn't stopped.
"Get on my back bby" baji suggested as you got onto his back and he caried you quickly over to his house where you two played game for hours.
Tumblr media
Anyways hope you guys liked it cuz I'm not that good in writing lol<3

Winter 2021 Anime Opinions
As always its that time of the year I pretend to be an anime connoisseur and leave my review on this seasons anime so take it with a grain of salt asdfgh from the one I enjoyed the least to the most.
Wave!!: Surfing Yappe!! (TV)
Tumblr media
You are seeing currently the only probably best thing about Wave asdfghj Tanaka bby I am SO sorry you got stuck here,,,,, Its bad because I had so many expectations for Wave but it just...... isn’t very good? The characters feel 2 dimensional, animation is veeeery average and the plot is all over the place? Dont even get me started on the Shou situation plot device that they just brushed over and went on with and,,,,,big sigh
Urasekai Picnic
Tumblr media
To be honest is not very fair to compare this one to the rest as ive only watched the first 2 eps but ill catch up eventually asdfghj its not bad just that the plot didnt capture me as much as I hoped but the two main characters cutiess the plot just confuses me asdfgh but I don't have much to say about it
Yakusoku no Neverland 2nd Season
Tumblr media
So uh anyways Chile I don't wanna talk about it the only reason this is not dead last is because RayEmma cute moments but yeah don't watch this clown show go read the manga for self care ✨
Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun
Tumblr media
The only reason this is here is because she. The main girl I cant remember the name of sucks and main dude is very normal asdfgh the plot is basically “Want people to like you? change everything about yourself and become a normie robot!!!” ASDFGHJ Like its so over the top and cringe at times it becomes very confusing but hey I am not caught up either so I may change opinions (x doubt tho)
2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu
Tumblr media
From this point onwards I basically like everything. 2.43 Started suuuuper strong for me, definitely thought it would be one of my favs this season but as the eps went by I just.... kinda lost interest asdfgh? Like its not bad, but its a sort of mix between Stars Align and Haikyuu where I would have loved a more character based story with dark subplots like Stars Align but got the parts I always criticize about Haikyuu were there was a point I didn't really knew any of the characters? ASDFGH like the enemy team is super cool and Love their designs but if you ask me to tell you anything about them I already forgot rip. Its still cute and the animation is cool but yeah it kind of disappointed me in the end a bit ;w;
Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season
Tumblr media
AOT Is so sexci because it keeps on hurting me and I come back every-time for it ASDFGHJ Not much to say that hasn't been said, characters are super interesting, plot is a bit confusing at times for me to follow but amazing and I just :))) could go on about certain characters :))))) but I wont :))))
Wonder Egg Priority
Tumblr media
Wonder egg priority is very talked about right now so I wont get too much into it other than definitely give it a watch if you like the more philosophical and “makes you reflect on your life choices” sort of anime ASDFGHJ the visuals are stunning and the characters very well build, although I am very confused at times I am still enjoying it tons ^^ Trigger warning however for some heavy topics I recommend checking the warnings before watching it <3
Kemono Jihen
Tumblr media
I LOVE THEM OKaY? asdfghjk Kemono Jihen gives me the found family topes and I eat them all right up, I love the characters , their designs, the plot, everything. To be fair tho, I did enjoy the manga more than the anime but maybe its a pacing thing? idk but I definitely recommend 100% taking on the manga and maybe after watch the anime but I am enjoying it tons!!
Kai Byoui Ramune
Tumblr media
This one may come as a surprise lol?? Like I haven't seen a single soul talk about Ramune but like??? I am actually enjoying it a lot?? and look forward every week for the ep? asdfghj Like yes I will be the first to admit the animation isn't really the beeeeest out there but the plot is funny while also being serious, the characters are quirky and interesting to keep the flow going and I am liking the undertone heavy messages? the soundtrack also slaps imo and yeah I would definitely say to watch the first ep and if you like that sort of dynamic take it up on the rest!
I★Chu: Halfway Through the Idol
Tumblr media
Okay I will be the first one to admit this is just me being trash for the idol shows but like?? its my list so I get to decide which found family I am screaming about next ASDFGHJ. As an avid A3 stan this gave me serious vibes of my boys (plus they were made form the same company so like not very surprised there loll) and like I think the characters are cute with adorable relationships and cute songs and its just a lighthearted show I sit down every Wednesday and smile through the 25 minutes so yes I Chu deserves a high spot and yes I recommend it even if it has like a 6.3 on myanimelist sksksks
Dr. Stone: Stone Wars
Tumblr media
Look at Gen!!!! enough reasons to watch dr stone!!!! ASDFGH but in all seriousness I....... love them okAy? The plot is amazing and the characters are super entertaining (hiiii Ukyo Gen Senku and Chrome muak) and although it may seem a bit slower paced than first season the arc is gonna get better and better and the finale is gonna be great if they stick to the manga. Only sad that I dont get to see my pirate fuckboy but we better be getting a third season
Bungou Stray Dogs Wan!
Tumblr media
when I say this is the happiness of all my Tuesdays I ain’t even exaggerating ASDFGHJ Does this have an important plot? no. Is it transcending to animation? not really. Is it BSD content I've been starving for? absolutely!!! Tbh I see my favorite anime characters in chibi version and I go feral, go watch BSD pogg!!
Horimiya
Tumblr media
Me?? searching for that one gif of the side ship scene am obsessed over?? more likely than you think ASDFGH Horimiya holds a special place in my heart because it was the first manga I ever read and the nostalgia is stroNG,,,,,, The plot isn't anything really transcending but the way the characters are captured the feelings just,,,,,, stan!! Also Yuki x Tooru supremacy !
Skate-Leading☆Stars
Tumblr media
Okaaaaay this is also me being a bitch for sports anime but like, again, are we surprised?? ASDFGHJ It may be my love for Hayato speaking but ive absolutely loves Skate Leading Stars, I love the group, the main characters, the ships, the routines and its so pretty and they are in love and like the competition and asdfgh its gOoD OKaY??? Watch it if anything for Hayato 👉🏻 👈🏻 My bastard bitch I love the gremlin.
Beastars 2nd Season
Tumblr media
I think we are all sleeping on Beastars brushing it off as a furry show. I don’t speak enough about it and I am not one to go about poetic cinemaness on main but beastars is a very poetic cinema show and yall sleeping on it. Coming from someone who was uncomfortable at first with the whole animal relationships part at first, just know beastars is so much more than that, it has a complicated plot with critics about the society within the show with amazing characters, great soundtrack and animation plus banger plot. Pina, Jack, Juno and Legoshi best characters and every week I look forward for the next eps so I hope yall go give it some love.
SK8 The Infinity
Tumblr media
If it wasnt clear from my spam every Saturday that I am absolutely in love with this show I dont know what to tell you ASDFGHJ. Sk8 has an amazing range of characters I find fascinating, specially Reki, very much so everything Reki asdfgh but yeah!! Its super entertaining with an interesting plot and its definetely becoming one of my favorite animes because the amount of times ive rewatched the episodes to cope is kind of embarrassing lmaooo, definetely give it a try although I understand its not for everyone but like,,,,, do it for Reki? 🤧👉🏻👈🏻

It was the same dream again; the very same one that had kept on plaguing (Y/n) ever since she had landed in Tokyo with her best friend.
She had only ever seen the scene in the Kimetsu no Yaiba manga, but it all looked so vivid in her mind. Too vivid, in fact, that it had unsettled her enough to have her sitting up in the double bed in the hotel room, that she and (F/n) shared.
For the third night in a row, the dream— no, the nightmare— had managed to reduce her to tears again.
Maybe she was crazy for feeling so much for someone who wasn’t real, but she couldn’t help her reaction. When she had opened her eyes, her face was already wet with tears— and no matter how hard she tried to wipe them away, they wouldn’t cease falling.
And, for once, she wanted to wake (F/n) up so she could get one of her comforting hugs— but she didn’t want to put a damper on such a momentous vacation for them. After all, they had saved up so much money just to afford going to Tokyo in the first place.
She wouldn’t ruin the next day with something that would fade away into nothingness later on.
But she would be lying if she said that it didn’t hurt to watch Rengoku Kyōjurō die over and over again— even if it was only in her dreams.
All she could do, however, was lay back down and curl into a ball to clutch one of her pillows close to her chest; burrowing her face into the fresh-smelling linen and trying to will away the haunting images that kept playing in her mind.
Her heart felt like it was breaking a million times over, yet she couldn’t exactly explain why that was. So, she closed her eyes and started counting— if only to get her racing mind to calm down.
Thankfully, sleep finally caught up to her; albeit restless and unfulfilling.
‘Don’t worry about me dying here.’
***
“You seem really off today, is something wrong, (Y/n)?” (F/n) asked as she nudged her best friend with her elbow, sending the other woman jumping a little in surprise; as if she had been suddenly shaken from some deep and all-consuming thought.
In response, (Y/n) forced a smile on her face and shook her head. She really did feel so drained, especially with a constant heaviness weighing down on her shoulders. Especially when she had stepped onto the small tram that would lead them to Setagaya; it was as if her chest had gotten so tight at some unknown factor that plagued her every waking move.
Not even the pretty hydrangeas that lined either side of the tracks were enough to make her feel better. And it felt like such a waste to be there, as the hydrangeas were what she had wanted to see the most.
“I just had a really weird dream last night. It was of Kyō dying…” (Y/n) admitted with a slight huff of a laugh, trying to make light of the situation with some humor— but she couldn’t say anything more as she felt her best friend’s arms wrap around her tightly.
(Y/n) had to admit that it was a little surprising, but she wasn’t entirely opposed to it; as it felt so warm and comforting, especially with the light drizzle of rain outside making the world look dreary and cold.
And slowly, she found herself grinning as she tried to push (F/n) off; before bursting out into a tiny fit of giggles when the arms around her only got tighter.
“Okay, okay, I feel better now. You can let go of me.”
With a laugh, (F/n) stepped back and patted the top of (Y/n)’s head, making the latter curl her upper lip at how playfully condescending that was. But it did its job in taking her mind off of her nightmare, which was all that mattered.
And so, with much a brighter mood, (Y/n) looked out of the tram window and giddily waited for their stop— so she could get a feel of what Kyōjurō’s hometown would have been like. After all, the databook had mentioned him living in Setagaya; so it was ticking off two nocks in one move, with her hydrangea sightseeing, as well as touring Setagaya.
When they got to their station, both women wasted no time in walking to the nearby temple— Tsurumaki Jisso-in. It was a really quaint place, but it felt so tranquil to step into; as if they were being transported through time.
Every step that (Y/n) took, she could feel her emotions beginning to bubble to the surface— feeling so light and heavy at the same time, like some part of her was being welcomed back to the place.
But that wasn’t the most unsettling instance for her; that was when she was deep in prayer already— thanking the gods for bringing her to Japan with her best friend, and for giving her such good fortune up to that day.
After all, she knew that she was luckier than most for just having the opportunity to have a roof above her head and three (or more) meals a day. Let alone the fact that she could have saved up to afford a very expensive trip.
If that wasn’t worth thanking the gods for, then she didn’t know what was.
“All I’m asking for now… is someone to spend the rest of my life with. Someone who’s the other half of my soul…” She prayed under her breath, bowing her head even further as a sign of humility, before adding, “Someone who will love me wholeheartedly forever.”
Shivers raced up her spine as soon as she uttered her wish, with some unseen force beckoning her to look up. And when she gave in to the urge to do so, the sight of a blond waiting a few paces away from her— with his hand stretched out towards her— made her absolutely breathless.
The vision didn’t last more than a couple of seconds, but she was sure that she just saw Rengoku Kyōjurō in front of her.
“It can’t be. I’m going crazy,” The young woman whispered to herself; bowing down once more, before strolling off to the side to admire the little stone statues that dotted the vicinity.
However, the heavy feeling on her shoulders had returned along with a headache. So, she decided that a short stroll around the area would do her some good.
With one last look behind her— to see that (F/n) was still engrossed in whatever prayer she had— (Y/n) deigned to just send her a text to let her know that she was going for a walk before finally taking the first few steps to get her around the place.
She couldn’t even hear the buzz of the town around them. No horns, or car engines, or even the sound of people filled the gaps of silence between the short gusts of wind that rustled the leaves of the plants around her.
If she were to be honest, she would say that it was relaxing; enough for a nap, even.
But she couldn’t do that when she and (F/n) still had so many places to go for the rest of the day. And, figuring that she’d been gone for long enough, she circled back to the pagoda— where, lo and behold, her best friend was nowhere to be found.
“I told her to wait for me here, tsk,” She uttered under her breath, huffing a little as she tried to fight back the heaviness and the headache that were only getting worse. “(F/n), you dumbass.”
She must have circled the entire vicinity of the temple thrice already, but her best friend was still nowhere to be found. And, around the second time that she had gotten back to the pagoda, she had pulled her phone out to call her— only to curse under her breath when she saw that it was dead.
It wouldn’t have been a problem at all, since she had her backpack with her— but when she checked the contents of it, she didn’t find the power bank that she was sure that she had packed in there that morning.
So, she circled the area once more— getting more frustrated at the pseudo cat and mouse game that she assumed (F/n) was playing with her— until she decided to check outside the temple gates.
Only, she couldn’t quite believe her eyes when an entirely different scene greeted her.
Instead of the asphalt road that she had walked on earlier, there was only a dirt road; which had her chest tightening with panic. Because she couldn’t have been on one of those prank shows she always watched.
But that was the only answer that she was coming up with, as her eyes took in the sight of the busy road in front of her. People were even wearing much older clothes; as opposed to the jeans, button down, and ankle boots combo that she was wearing.
“No, I swear to everything holy… (F/n), if you signed me up for a prank…” She hissed under her breath, swallowing thickly as she frantically looked at all of the people who were going on about their day.
A few gazes were aimed at her, but no one dared to approach her. And it wasn’t like she could simply stroll up to someone and ask them what had happened to the road— because, as it was, she only knew the basics of basic Japanese.
She would sooner make a mistake and ask someone where a gong was, instead of where the road had gone.
It was also at that moment that she realized that she shouldn’t have goofed off while learning Japanese; instead of telling (F/n) that she sucks tiny dicks, she could have used that time to learn some more useful sentences.
Panic was steadily beginning to set in, causing tears to spring up in her eyes as she clutched her useless phone in one hand. She couldn’t even muster up the strength to move from where she stood— the need to cry getting stronger with every passing second.
(Y/n) swore that she would wring her best friend’s neck if all of that ended up as a really unfunny prank. But it seemed that it wasn’t a prank at all, as no one yelled ‘cut’ and not one camera person stepped out to capture the sight of her tears beginning to fall down her face.
Slowly, her panic began to really set in, as she gripped her phone even tighter in her hand— pushing herself to turn on her heel to march back into the temple and try to look for (F/n) in every shrub possible; only, the breath was knocked out of her when she ran smack dab into something.
Or rather, someone.
Red-tinted irises flickered down at the peculiar woman, lingering on her tear-stained face, before they took in the strange clothes that she was wearing.
The strange woman’s clothes weren’t what had the Flame Hashira’s curiosity piquing, however…
It was when her eyes widened with what seemed like fear and genuine shock, before she whispered, “Kyōjurō?”
All that, before promptly passing out— thankfully, in his arms. Otherwise, she would have suffered a painful bump to the head.
“Ani-ue? Do you know her?” Kyōjurō readjusted his hold on the woman in his arms, then looked down at his side to answer his brother with a smile.
“I don’t, Senjurō, but she knows me.”
“What are we going to do?”
“Take her home,” The Hashira’s answer sounded so simple, as if it didn’t have to do with taking a virtual stranger home— one that looked so weird, with a glossy and flat brick at her feet. Because really, his curiosity was extremely piqued; especially with how he felt his heart skip a beat when she mentioned his name.
He wanted to know why exactly that was, when he had never felt something so… unexplainably warm and pleasant in his entire life.
As if he had just begun to really live.
***
“Is she awake yet?” Kyōjurō asked as he slid the shoji open and poked his head inside the guest room. He had been training beforehand, but had practically breezed through the rest of his shadow sparring routines because his curiosity got the better of him.
All throughout the afternoon, he couldn’t quite get his mind off of the strange woman who was sleeping in his home; and it wasn’t even the fact that she knew him that baffled him.
It was how he felt so attached to her already— as if, by some invisible force, something tethered him to her.
And that was how he found himself padding through the house; pacing up and down the halls at first, weighing the merits of seeing her already— without washing all of the sweat off of him first— as opposed to just making a beeline for her room and checking up on her.
However, he went with the former choice: bathing first, before going to see her. After all, he wanted to make a good impression, and he couldn’t do that when he smelled like the sun and lots of sweat.
“Not yet, ani-ue,” Senjurō answered softly, sending his older brother a smile, before reaching up to feel the unknown woman’s forehead with the palm of his hand.
She didn’t have a fever, but she was still unconscious, which worried the younger Rengoku a lot. He may not have known her, but he was so naturally kindhearted that he didn’t want anyone getting hurt— especially when they were under his care.
Kyōjurō sighed quietly— more out of disappointment than anything else— as he padded into the room; closing the door behind him, as he let his gaze fall to the unconscious woman on the futon.
And that was when the foreign feeling of his stomach feeling so empty yet full at the same time— as his heart began to pound faster in his chest— fell on him. He barely even managed to restrain the urge to reach up and rub at the spot where his heart was.
Though, slowly, he walked towards her and sat down next to where his brother sat— not once looking at anywhere but her and her sleeping face.
Kyōjurō had to admit that she was quite beautiful, even with that slight furrow in her brows. But, before he could stop himself, he reached out and gently smoothed the crease down with the pads of his fingers.
Unbeknownst to him, a small and warm smile had tugged up at the corners of his lips; which had Senjurō looking between the Flame Hashira and the stranger.
He didn’t want to make assumptions, but he could feel that there was something divine at play with their situation. Especially since the woman looked like she didn’t belong in their country, nor did she belong in their time.
It wasn’t until night had fallen that the brothers saw her stir awake, and they immediately waited with baited breath for her to open her eyes. But when she did open them, they immediately widened as she bolted upright on the futon— scooting away from the Rengokus and dragging the blanket closer towards her chest.
As if that would protect her from a Hashira.
“I have to be dreaming,” (Y/n) whispered frantically, curling her fingers around the blanket and bringing it up to shield her face from the pair in front of her; then brought it back down after a few seconds, to check if they were still there.
Lo and behold, Kyōjurō and Senjurō were still looking at her; which prompted her to do it twice more, until the older of the two tugged the blanket out of her hands and scooted closer to her.
(Y/n) wanted nothing more than to scream at that moment— both with fear and various other overwhelming emotions— but she bit down on her tongue and held it in. On the off chance that it was all some elaborate prank, she didn’t want to make even more of a fool of herself.
“Your name,” Kyōjurō began, letting his curiosity get the better of him as he gave in and jumped into interrogating her already. After all, he had been waiting all afternoon for her to wake up. “What’s your name?”
Hell, he had even pushed back the time for his nightly patrols in case she woke up. Because he wanted to be there when she opened those breathtaking eyes of hers; ones that widened in surprise at his question.
Thankfully, (Y/n) caught his words with very little difficulty.
“(Y/n)…” The young woman breathed out, completely enamored by how close those fiery eyes were to her face. She had only seen them in her dreams, and to have them look so real… it was a dream come true; even if she was sure that she was only hallucinating.
Since there was no way that a manga character could be real.
“I… I mean… (L/n) (Y/n),” She stammered out in the choppiest-sounding Japanese that she had ever uttered. It was even worse than when she had asked someone for directions in the street the day before; making her want to snatch the blanket back and hide under it until the burning in her cheeks subsided.
“(L/n) (Y/n),” Kyōjurō whispered under his breath, feeling his lips tingle as a smile tugged up at the corners of his lips— for some unknown reason. The name was so foreign on his tongue, and he had pronounced it differently than she had, but it still had his heart fluttering inside his chest. “Earlier, you mentioned my name. How do you know me?”
That had all of (Y/n)’s thoughts coming to a standstill inside her head, stumping her until she could feel her right eye twitching with her discomfort. After all, she couldn’t very well tell him that he was a fictional character in a manga— one that she cared for immensely.
But she also knew that she wouldn’t be able to explain why she was there in the first place, if she lied to him. That, and something told her that Kyōjurō would willingly hear her out, and even accept what she was going to say.
He would be a little skeptical about it, but she knew as much as he did that no one would be able to explain exactly what had happened.
So, to the best of her ability, she wracked her brain for all of the Japanese words that she had learned, and began to explain in choppy sentences. “I’m not from here. I’m from the future… and this is a manga.”
The Hashira’s eyebrows furrowed at that, and he was about to open his mouth to speak, when Senjurō reached out to lay a hand on his forearm.
“Maybe we should hear her out first, ani-ue?”
Those words prompted Kyōjurō to look over at Senjurō, before scooting back to sit next to his brother, and letting go of the blanket that he had unceremoniously snatched from their guest. Part of him had his defenses raised, and wanted nothing more than to get things over with— but another, much bigger part, had him wanting to sit there and listen to what she had to say.
All night long, if he had the leisure of doing so.
And so, with her choppy Japanese, (Y/n) went on to tell the Rengoku brothers everything that had happened since she had arrived at the temple in Setagaya, and everything that happened between that and fainting in his arms; with the last bit making her blush profusely, while she looked away.
Surprisingly, Kyōjurō found the flustered expression cute on her… but what threw the young man even more for a loop was his reaction: stifling a smile, as his cheeks also warmed up with a blush identical to hers.
Never in his life had he been flustered like that; which was made even more intense with the butterflies fluttering around inside his stomach. It was a foreign feeling, but something that he welcomed… because it was something nice and warm.
Something that he knew he had been missing all along.
“And that’s how I ended up here. I was just looking for my friend...” (Y/n) implored softly, letting her gaze flicker between the two blonds in front of her. “Do you believe me?”
She then waited with baited breath for Kyōjurō’s answer, staring intently at him, and sighing when he minutely nodded his head. “Parts of your story explain things, so I’ll believe you… for now.”
“Okay. Okay, I’ll take that.” (Y/n) smiled at him, feeling extremely comfortable under his gaze for once— only to feel her breath catch in her throat when the Hashira returned it with a much brighter one than hers.
If he kept smiling at her like that, she might just traverse time and space again— what with how surreal it looked.
Both of them seemed to be stuck at a standstill then, with their eyes not once flickering away from the other— as their smiles tapered down into smaller ones.
All the while, Senjurō could only look on with a hint of a smile tugging up on his cheeks; because he had never seen his brother ever look so interested in a woman before. And maybe, just maybe, he’d finally found the one who was going to take care of his heart.
“Ani-ue, I think it’s time for your patrols now,” The younger Rengoku began with a mirthful tone, popping the invisible bubble that ensconced the pair with him.
That had the Hashira sitting upright even more, shoulders stiffening as he picked his sword up from beside him and immediately got up. He had completely forgotten that he had to do a patrol of the area, just so everyone under his jurisdiction could stay safe.
However, he felt a little reluctant to leave his guest just like that.
“Let’s talk more tomorrow, (L/n)-san,” He bid then, biting down unsurely on his bottom lip when he realized just how forward he sounded— but not doing anything to retract the statement.
Because he had to admit, he wanted to talk to her more; get to know her. All of her.
To his utter shock— and pleasure— he saw the young woman nod at him, before uttering words that had his heart practically jumping out of his chest and gracing all of them with its presence.
“Stay safe, Kyōjurō… I mean, Rengoku-san.”
It was safe to say that all throughout his patrol, Kyōjurō’s mind always drifted back to the intriguing woman that had literally and figuratively fallen into his arms.
***
When morning finally came, it was to hear nothing but tranquil silence within the Rengoku household. There was the telltale chirping of birds outside, and the soft din of people chattering as they passed by the house— but it seemed that everyone was still asleep within the estate itself.
But (Y/n) was proven wrong when she heard three soft knocks outside of her room. “(L/n)-san? Are you awake?”
It was Senjurō, to whom she answered that she was awake and that she could come in— in the most chipper voice possible. She couldn’t help it, there was just something about the youngest Rengoku that made her all smiley and happy; like he was a bright ray of light in a dark and dreary world.
Much like how Kyōjurō was.
“Good morning, Senjurō-kun,” She greeted with a smile, quietly taking note of the change of clothes that was in his arms. They looked extremely nice; red, with black and gold embroidery, from her vantage point.
“Ani-ue got these for you earlier this morning… as soon as the shop opened,” Senjurō admitted with a soft, and teasing, smile; one that had (Y/n)’s cheeks flaring red at how sweet the gesture was, and how she just knew that a little boy was poking fun at her for making it so obvious that she liked his older brother.
Because, really, from how she had made moony eyes at him last night— there was no denying that Senjurō knew just how attracted she really was to Kyōjurō.
Thankfully, the younger Rengoku didn’t push his teasing more than that— opting instead to hand her the clothes, so she could get ready for the day.
It had taken a while for her to get herself done up in the kimono, but she eventually padded over to the shoji and poked her head outside, calling out softly, “Senjurō-kun? I’m done.”
When there was no answer, (Y/n) waited unsurely by the door for a little longer, until she felt awkward just standing there. So, she closed it once more, then padded over to her futon— folding everything up like she had seen in all the Japanese dramas that she had seen— and then moving towards her bag, that had been left a few ways away from where she had been sleeping.
She then rifled through the contents, sighing in relief when she found her passport and her wallet still in there— along with her phone, which had a few cracks on the screen.
“Fuck, that’s gonna be a bitch to use,” The young woman muttered in her native tongue, clicking her tongue in mild irritation as she tried to turning it on again.
No luck, however, which had her throwing it back in her bag and setting it back down on the floor. After all, she sincerely doubted that she would be able to use her paper bills and card to pay for anything in that era.
She was basically nothing more than a sitting duck, unless she stuck close to the Rengokus until she could figure out how and why she was even there in the first place. But those thoughts were put to a halt when she heard Kyōjurō’s telltale laughter from outside the house.
And, before she could stop her feet, she had already padded over to the shoji that led to the yard and had slid it open a tiny bit— peering outside with one eye, before opening the door a little bit wider to poke her head out.
“Kyō- Rengoku-san?” Tiptoeing out onto the engawa, (Y/n) looked left and right to see where his voice was coming from; and it wasn’t until she was standing at the end of the platform, while holding on to a beam, that she saw the familiar head of blond hair that she had been looking for.
Just in time, as well, because Kyōjurō saw her during pretty much the same moment— and the brighter and warmer smile that played at his lips was close to inevitable.
The Hashira felt his heart skip another beat in his chest, as he halfheartedly excused himself from the Kakushi that he had been talking to. And with a few quick strides, as well as a little vault up onto the engawa— to show off a little for the object of his affections— he greeted, “Good morning, (L/n)-san. Did you sleep well?”
“I did, thank you… for your hospitality. For the kimono, and for believing me too…” Her words were choppy at best, but the Hashira picked up on all of that she wanted to tell him— making his grin widen even more, until it was so bright that it was even more breathtaking than before.
Truly, no one could say that Rengoku Kyōjurō wasn’t quite the looker. Because he was.
“I just… saw it at the shop and thought of you,” The young man chuckled bashfully, even going as far as to lift a hand up to the back of his neck and scratch at it in such an adorable manner. “It looks really, really good on you.”
Partnered with the blush on his cheeks, (Y/n) was sure then that her heart was going to get tired sooner rather than later from beating so fast and hard in her chest. “Thank you, Rengoku-san.”
“Kyōjurō.” That had (Y/n)’s eyebrows furrowing in confusion, but even the man himself wasn’t sure what had come over him at that moment. All that he knew was that he wanted to hear her keep saying his name; his given name, like she had before. “You can call me Kyōjurō.”
Her answering smile was so beautiful that the Hashira had to resist the urge to cup her cheeks in his hands and… he didn’t even want to think about what he would have done to those alluring lips of hers.
“Okay, Kyōjurō,” The sound of his given name rolling off of her pretty lips had those butterflies fluttering around inside his stomach again, which only intensified when she added, “You can call me (Y/n).”
Meanwhile, Senjurō was looking at the couple from inside (Y/n)’s room; as he had just come back to get her to have breakfast with him. But the development that he had come across had him stifling a giggle, because the pair looked absolutely adorable out on the engawa.
Both of them flustered, barely a few feet away from each other, and making such moony gazes at each other— which they were oblivious to. It confirmed the younger Rengoku’s hunch that his brother might have finally found the woman for him.
Someone that he would love and cherish forever, and vice versa.
He almost didn’t want to cut in their little moment. “Ani-ue? (L/n)-san? I made breakfast for all of us.”
At the sound of Senjurō’s voice, both Kyōjurō and (Y/n) stepped away from each other; like the spell around them was broken, much like what had happened last night. And the younger Rengoku regretted having done so because, if he were to be honest, he would say that he just wanted his brother to be happy.
***
“What should we do today? Should we ask around if anyone knows anything about traversing time?” Kyōjurō offered as he set down his cup of water, looking over at (Y/n) and automatically smiling at her— a small one, but a smile all the same.
“Wouldn’t that be too… weird?”
“You have a point,” The Hashira laughed then, crossing his arms over his chest and wracking through his head to see what solutions he could offer to his cute guest.
And that had nothing to do with wanting to impress her even more. Nothing at all.
With that, however, both of them settled with retracing (Y/n)’s steps before she had jumped through time and space— going back to the temple near Kyōjurō’s house, and trying to look for any indicators that there had been something awry at play.
But there was none; not even a suspicious looking crack in the ground or any trees that could have served as some portal to another reality.
There was, however, a headache coming on for (Y/n). Especially when she came closer to the pagoda in the middle of the sacred grounds. It was as if it was the source of her affliction— which wouldn’t be far off from her own guess that what she was doing there was somehow tied to the wish she’d made to the gods.
The wish where she’d asked to meet her soulmate; someone who would love her wholeheartedly forever. And she couldn’t think of anyone else that she wanted to fit the bill more, than Rengoku Kyōjurō.
“Are you alright, (Y/n)?”
Kyōjurō’s words had her snapping out of her reverie; shaking her head a little, as if to shake off all of those thoughts, before turning to him. “I just… headache.”
Her words had absolutely escaped her then, since the sight of him reaching out to her was reminiscent of the vision that had flashed in her mind yesterday; just before she had been transported to his time and reality.
And to her absolute surprise, he pressed his fingers to the middle of her forehead and gently smoothed out the space between her eyebrows. She hadn’t even realized that she had been furrowing them in the first place, and that action had her blushing beet red; all the way up to the tips of her ears.
“You don’t need to frown that much, you look prettier with a smile,” The young man complimented quietly; for once abiding by the tranquil atmosphere at the temple.
That, and maybe because he wanted her to be the only one who heard those words; as they were specifically for her alone.
Slowly, he retracted his hand from (Y/n)’s forehead, and steadily tamped down the urge to pull her in and finally have a taste of those lips of hers. It wouldn’t have been a polite thing to do in such sacred grounds, in public— no less.
“Why don’t we talk a walk around the town instead? To give you some reprieve,” The Hashira offered with a smile. “And then we can come back here tomorrow to look for more information…”
Part of him wanted to jump the gun and tell her that she could stay with him forever, but even he knew that that was too forward. They had just met yesterday, after all; and she had told him that his reality only existed in a manga.
If that wasn’t the premise for something tragic, he didn’t know what was. And even though he was so tempted to give in to his budding feelings, he couldn’t put that much pressure on her.
It was true that she made him feel so much— so many good things that he didn’t even think he could feel about someone— but he also had a feeling that, sooner or later, she would want to go back to where she came from.
He didn’t want to be the cause of tethering her down there; especially not when demons were running rampant around the country.
But damn if he didn’t want to keep her with him forever.
Just a day and he was already in so deep; he was both excited and apprehensive of how much deeper his feelings would get for her the longer she stayed there.
Little did he know just how much she would come to mean to him.
***
“Kyōjurō? It’s time for breakfast!” (Y/n) called aloud, before banging the wooden spoon against the pot in her hand— letting the Flame Hashira know, in not so many words, that he should get out of his room then.
It had already been a few months since she had arrived in the Taisho era, and she would be lying if she said that she wasn’t worried about what was happening in her own timeline and reality— but there was realistically nothing that she could do about things.
So, she slowly started to accept the fact that she was stuck there. Not without worrying nightly about how her best friend was doing, and how her family was faring along. She still thought about them and constantly thought about ways that she could possibly get back home, but her efforts weren’t as valiant as before.
Especially since things with Kyōjurō had taken a more… romantic turn.
They had never said anything to confirm their feelings, but it was evident in the way that Kyōjurō would cup her face and hold her hand in private, that he felt the same way that (Y/n) felt for him.
It had been really surprising when he had first taken her hand, mostly because he had done so abruptly during the rare dinner when it was only the two of them eating. Hell, she had almost spilled her food when Kyōjurō just reached out and practically slapped his hand down on hers.
Thankfully, he had gotten gentler over the months, and he had learned to slowly slip her hand into his instead; which never failed to make (Y/n)’s heart flutter— each and every time.
The mere memory of his warm and rough hand enveloping hers had her smiling and blushing, as she set the bowls of food down on the dining table set for three people. Shinjurō never ate with them, and it wasn’t that he didn’t know of her existence— he knew, yet he preferred to stay in his room instead.
So (Y/n) had no idea what the Rengoku patriarch thought about her, or her relationship with his son.
She had been so deep in thought that she didn’t even feel the Hashira’s presence in the room; not until Kyōjurō sat down beside her.
Kyōjurō’s eyes zoned in on the young woman’s left cheek, as he had been doing since he had entered the room a few minutes before. He had been planning on kissing her for a long time, yet he always chickened out at the last minute— so he resolved that day, that he was going to do it.
Or he was going to double his morning exercise routine, as a form of punishment.
“Good morning, (Y/n).” He had been doing so well with his efforts too, what with him leaning in to try and brush his lips against her soft cheek— only for her to turn towards him when he had placed his hand on her back.
And, in a turn of events that he could have only dreamt of until that point, his lips slanted against her in a faint kiss.
Immediately, both their eyes widened in surprise, yet they remained frozen in place; both of them not knowing where things were going next. Not until the Flame Hashira decided to jump in and pull her in further against him, all while pressing his lips harder against her own.
She was so warm, his lips were tingling slightly at the feeling of kissing her, and he wished that the feeling would never end— as he fought off the urge to completely melt against her; along with tamping down the voice in his head that told him to pull her onto his lap and claim her lips thoroughly.
But, at the very last second, he slowly pulled back from her and took a deep breath to calm his racing pulse. He didn’t want to rush her into things; that wasn’t how he was raised.
After all, he wanted to marry her first.
The thought of marriage didn’t even faze him, since he had been considering it a few months after knowing (Y/n). Kyōjurō wanted nothing more than to ask for her hand in marriage, to show her that he really would cherish her forever if she chose to stay with him, but there was still the matter of her not being from that timeline that held him back from doing so.
When before he hadn’t wanted to hold her back from wanting to return to her own reality, he was beginning to succumb to the selfishness that brewed within him.
If given the chance to keep her forever, he would take it in a heartbeat.
“I…” (Y/n) whispered, face completely red and a little bit winded, as she lifted a hand and gently pressed her fingers against her lips.
Finding her shyness extremely cute, the Hashira’s lips pulled up at the corners into a grin— as he pulled a little bit away from her; if only to see more of her adorable expression. “You’re so beautiful.”
Those words only served to shock the young woman even further; eyes widening in surprise, as they flickered up and stared into those piercing red and yellow irises that she had come to love even more.
Much more than she did, than when she had thought he was nothing but a character in a manga. And so much more than she had loved any other person.
It was almost scary how much she loved and cared for Kyōjurō.
So, it absolutely tore her heart when she heard that he had been called to Oyakata-sama’s estate later that afternoon, which had her heart sinking to her stomach. It never boded well for her whenever Kyōjurō went away on missions, but to know that what she had been dreading was unfolding right before her eyes once more— for real, that time— had her feeling weak in the knees as she waited for Kyōjurō at home.
Only, instead of seeing her beloved walking through the gates, she saw his crow flying overhead— with a letter tied to one of its feet.
Her heart sank at the mere sight of it, and even more when she unfurled the parchment to see a letter that told her that he would be back in a few days.
That he just had to deal with a demon, and that he had to take the long-haul train to find it.
“No, no, no, no,” Her breaths came in shallow bursts, and her heart had felt like it had stopped inside her chest. Still, with her entire body awash with a cold and crippling kind of fear, she forced her legs to take her to the room that she had been given within the estate.
Once there, she fished out the pouch where she kept the money that Kyōjurō had been giving her— so she could buy things that she wanted— and didn’t even bother to check in with Senjurō before she left.
(Y/n) couldn’t tell him, because she would make sure that he had nothing to worry about. She would make sure that Kyōjurō lived, because she couldn’t take losing him again— and on a scale that was real, that time.
Reading about it was a different kind of pain, but experiencing it would make her crazy.
He had become such an important person to her, that to lose him would equal to her losing herself. So, that was how she found herself setting off to follow him to the train station.
Unfortunately, she had no clue where it was; nor could she ask anyone for directions— as most people shied away from her. With her being a foreigner and all, most of the locals had taken to simply ignoring her because of Kyōjurō; and it pissed her off to no end that she they wouldn’t even look her in the eye.
Kyōjurō and Senjurō had been the only ones to accept her wholeheartedly into their home, and she couldn’t be more thankful for that. Albeit a little suspicious about the gods once more playing a hand with how she had come across them, because there was no way that it was pure coincidence that she had traversed realities the same day that he decided to visit the temple on a whim.
Had she not come across them that day, she didn’t even know where she would have ended up.
And with that last thought swimming in her head, she straightened her shoulders out and took in a deep breath before soldiering on to where she had once had Senjurō mention the train station.
If memory served her right, and if she understood him correctly, then she would get there with about twenty minutes of walking.
“Why isn’t Uber a thing here?” She whispered under her breath, huffing as she fanned herself with her hand and started power walking towards where she guessed the station was.
Only, she had made a wrong turn at one point— and had to retrace her steps to the main road; where she then tried her hardest to make out the characters from ‘station’ on the sign boards and flyers that she had passed by.
And after an extra half hour, she had finally arrived at the station; met with so many people falling in line to get tickets for the first and only train that was leaving for the day. She almost wanted to tell people not to buy any of the tickets, and tell them to go home, yet she was but a tiny speck in a sea of people.
A foreigner, no less; so, the chances of anyone taking her seriously were nil.
Part of her was tempted to tell Kyōjurō about it, but she didn’t want to alert the lower moon demon controlling the train about her knowledge of things; as that would only put her at the forefront of his kill list, and would most likely put more people in danger.
She had to be smart about things, so she hatched a quick— and half-cocked— plan to hide in the last train car until she was sure that the train conductor was back out towards the first train car, before she snuck in to save Kyōjurō and the others.
“Oh thank all the gods that I took this part to heart,” The young woman whispered once more, as she looked down at her ticket and conveniently threw it in the trash bin.
She wanted to hop in the train car that her beloved was on, if only to see him safe and sound— and eating his mountain of bento box meals— but bypassed that car quickly as she hastened to the last one.
And, with one look behind herself as the train whistle blew, to see if the coast was clear, she hopped on the platform to the cargo hold and quickly snuck inside the dark and stifling car.
As nervous as she was, her heart pounding wildly in her chest was something she expected; what was weird was the tightness that came with it. It was suffocating, and beginning to weigh down on her shoulders, yet she shook the feeling off in favor of finding a trunk that wasn’t stacked up to sit on.
Once she was situated nicely— just in time too, as the train began to lurch forward— she began to run through all of the manga panels in her head. She could only vividly remember the part where Akaza appeared, as that part was such a painfully memorable one, but the few flashes of the train panels helped her gauge the timeline.
Plus, it also helped her bide her time; calming her racing thoughts a little, since she knew that Kyōjurō and the others would be able to handle the demon with little to no problems.
Once she heard the train’s whistle, she took that as a signal to get up from her perch on one of the trunks— making her way towards the steel door that led to the other cars.
Only, when she tried to turn the knob, it was to find that it was chained from the outside.
“Fuck. Fuck,” The young woman whispered under her breath, trying desperately to push the door open— on the off chance that the porter had been lazy and didn’t latch the padlock on the chains. But, as her luck would have it, the padlock was firmly in place, keeping the door firmly shut.
Instantly, her eyes darted around the dim room, trying to look for a way to get out of there before things went to hell inside the train. But she found no other exits except the main doors, as the windows had metal screens on them to keep thieves out.
The train lurched beneath her at that moment, making her cry out as she got jostled against the door. And it wouldn’t have been bad, had the mountain of luggage behind her not come falling down; essentially trapping her right where she stood.
Just when she thought that things could get worse for her, they did when the heaviness that had been brewing inside her since she had boarded the train began to bubble up. It had her fighting back the migraine that practically split her head, all while resisting the urge to reach up and clutch at her tightening chest. She was left like a sitting duck, barely holding herself back from crying and screaming out her beloved’s name.
That was, until she remembered that Kyōjurō would be protecting the last five car trains; which most likely included the passenger car right across the car that she was in.
“Kyōjurō! Kyōjurō!” She whisper-yelled, wishing to all the gods that the demon on top of the train wouldn’t pay much attention to the ruckus that she was causing.
(Y/n) then began banging on the door with her open hand; heavy and frantic taps that she was sure the Flame Hashira would hear the moment that he came darting to the last passenger car.
Her hunch was right, thankfully, as Kyōjurō picked up on her faint calls through the noise of the train and the ruckus that the demon was making. And hearing her voice above all of that felt akin to having a bucket of ice-cold water being thrown at him; as icy fear gripped his chest.
“(Y/n)?!” The Hashira called out, kicking down the door that the demon had sealed shut with its flesh, eyes wide with panic and his heart racing in his chest the more that he heard her banging against the door and calling out his name.
Not wasting anymore time, Kyōjurō threw a quick glance over his shoulder and huffed out a frustrated sigh as he was torn between doing another mad dash to the front of all the carriages that he was protecting.
But it was a no brainer what his choice was: it was to save (Y/n) first, because she would always be his top priority.
And so, with a small leap to get to the cargo hold, he swung down the hilt of his sword and broke the lock that held the chains together; wrenching the door open and opening his arms just in time for his beloved to jump into them.
Tears marred her cheeks, but it didn’t appear that she had noticed that she had been crying in the first place, as she made no move to wipe them away. That made him feel even worse, but he brought his left hand up to cup the back of her head as he pressed her cheek to the crook of his neck.
“I’m here, shh, you’re okay. I’m here, my love.” In any other time, the effortless use of the nickname would have made him blush so hard but, at that moment, it only brought him relief. “I have you. You’re okay.”
He didn’t know why she was even there in the first place, but it really wasn’t the time or the place to ask her that. So, he decided to just ask her later.
(Y/n)’s arms automatically wrapped themselves around Kyōjurō’s middle, as she held herself as close to him as possible. The pain she felt was beginning to intensify, and the tightness in her chest began to double— and all she could do was cry; no matter how much she forced herself to numb herself down from all the negative sensations assaulting her.
She clung as tightly as she could to the back of the Hashira’s uniform, being selfish enough to not want him to part from her— because parting from her would mean certain death for him.
There was nothing more that (Y/n) wanted than for her beloved man to stay alive— so they could make all of her wishes for their future a reality. A family with him— the house in the mountains that she wanted, all the kids that she’d only seen him looking at with a sad longing in his eyes; she wanted to make him the happiest man in the world.
But she also knew that she couldn’t let it cost anyone’s life.
“(Y/n), I have to go.” Reluctantly, the blond pulled the young woman away from him; looking down at her tear-stained face before leaning down so he could brush his lips against her. “I’ll come back for you, just stay here.”
And with that, he untangled himself from his beloved (Y/n)’s arms dived back into the foray with the demon; making as quick work of it as possible; all while protecting the rest of the passengers on the train.
It was his duty, after all.
But he would be lying if he said that he didn’t want things to get over and done with as quickly as possible. Which had him really thankful— yet slightly fearful for (Y/n)’s safety— when the train derailed; sending people flying, and carriages falling to the wayside of the tracks.
Kyōjurō didn’t even wait another second to see the demon start to disintegrate, because his feet carried him towards the object of his affections; his future wife.
She had been tossed back within the luggage car, making his heart sink to his stomach as he hurriedly pushed away all of the trunks and luggage bags that were blocking her from coming to him.
Her sobs were soft and muffled as she bit down on her bottom lip, but they still felt like tiny pinpricks of ice to the Flame Hashira’s heart; especially when he saw how battered she had gotten in the fiasco.
The bruise forming on her cheek was minor, but he still found himself hugging her as tight as he could— burying his face in her hair, as she clung to him once more.
In the distance, Kyōjurō picked up another presence— one that had him looking up and surveying the area. And he found himself pulling away from (Y/n) to have his hand ready at the hilt of his sword. Whatever had come was powerful, and he wanted her nowhere near it.
“Stay here, and don’t go anywhere.”
The young woman’s eyes widened at that implication, knowing what was to come; getting her stuck in a moral dilemma, that had her pinned between a rock and another hard place. Yet, she would be damned if she didn’t admit that it hurt so much. “No, no, no, you can’t go. Please. Please, Kyōjurō. Please.”
If only she could help him, then she would have. She would have done everything in her power to help him.
Her hands tried to hold him where he was, but Kyōjurō still pulled away from her again, feeling something in his gut telling him to stay put. But he wasn’t doing that; not when he had so many people to protect— especially the person whom he was going to ask to marry him after all that had happened.
“Don’t worry about me dying here,” And so, with a reassuring smile at her, the blond whispered, “I’ll come back to you, I promise.”
Those words didn’t reassure (Y/n) one bit but, before she could reach out and hold him again, the pain bearing down on her had her clutching her chest and gritting her teeth; unbeknownst to Kyōjurō, whom had just darted towards where he was sensing the newcomer’s dangerous aura.
It was as if there was a vise wrapped around (Y/n)’s neck; making her breaths come out in ragged pants, and her muscles seize up with the overall agony that coursed through her body.
And it was at that moment that she realized that, little by little, she was starting to disappear; her fingertips turning into golden dust at first, and slowly extending up to her knuckles.
“No. Not now, please. Not now,” She whimpered, completely helpless, as she stared at her shaking hands. “Fuck.”
A loud bang had her looking up from her own dilemma, making her see the bigger picture and urging her to move before she thought about it. Her legs began to carry her as fast as they could to where the cloud of dust had formed, with her being completely uncaring about how she felt and how she would end up.
What mattered to her was getting to Kyōjurō, and saving him, even if it cost her life.
Just up ahead, she could see only flashes of Akaza effortlessly fighting off Kyōjurō’s attacks, which had her pushing her legs even faster— all while more and more tears rolled down her cheeks.
“KYŌJURŌ!” She cried in a broken and hoarse tone, which fell on deaf ears as he was too engrossed in fighting off the Upper Moon demon.
It had only been a mere few minutes, but the Flame Hashira was already battered and bruised; his ribs were broken, and he was sure that he was bleeding internally at that point, yet he still pushed forward.
Only stopping when he had missed and Akaza had managed to land a painful blow to his left eye. It put him at such a hard spot, yet he didn’t want to give up.
He couldn’t give up.
His breath was also coming in shaky bursts at that moment, and his entire body ached, but he was thankful for the little reprieve that he received as he geared up for one more blow; adjusting his hold on the hilt of his sword and concentrating all of his efforts into the tenth form.
However, just as he and Akaza charged forward, (Y/n)’s voice cut through Akaza’s nonsensical chatter; and it felt like the world had come to a standstill as both of them looked over to where she was.
And it was to feel his entire body go numb when he saw her starting to disintegrate; golden dust emanating from every part of her that all the fight in him almost leaving his body. Had it not been for his last-minute thinking, he wouldn’t have taken the little window that (Y/n)’s distraction provided to swing his sword and cut off the Upper Moon demon’s head.
It fell to the ground with a muffled thud, but he couldn’t care less about it then— thinking that his job was done— as he raced towards (Y/n) and caught her just in time as she collapsed to the ground.
He hadn’t even realized that he was also crying, not until he had (Y/n) cradled in his arms as she cupped his cheeks with her half-disintegrated hands. “(Y/n), what’s wrong? What’s happening? What should I do?”
Kyōjurō’s mind was racing with so many thoughts at once, yet he could only manage to speak in broken fragments— as his sobs cut through his sentences. He sounded every inch of the broken man that he felt.
It was as if someone had just ripped his heart out right in front of him.
“I’ll… I’ll find you in your reality. I promise. You won’t ever be alone ever again, (Y/n); you mean everything to me.” His confession poured from his lips, frantic and garbled, but still legible to everyone’s ears. But what had everyone looking away was when the Flame Hashira dipped his head and claimed his beloved’s lips as the sun rose over the horizon.
Holding himself against her, all while he devolved into such loud and heartbroken sobs as he promised over and over that he would find her in her own time and reality.
After all, he was never one to back down from promises; especially when it came to the one and only love of his life.
***
When (Y/n) came to, it was to the sight of her best friend hovering above her— with her face stained with tears, and her eyes looking completely panicked. “What are you even doing here? I’ve been looking for you for almost an hour now! I thought you got kidnapped!”
Slowly, the young woman looked around her and noted that she was back at the temple in Setagaya; with her back flush against the stone pavement just behind the pagoda.
Thankfully, no one else was there to see her in such an embarrassing predicament.
“And when did you get a kimono as nice as that? Did you leave me behind just to get that? Christ, (Y/n)!” (F/n) rambled through her tears, roughly picking her best friend up by the shoulders and holding her close as she called her a dumbass over and over.
“I…” She couldn’t even answer straight, as what had transpired in the Taishō era flashed in her mind. It had her thinking if it had all been a hallucination, but when she looked down at the kimono she wore, she could tell that it wasn’t.
Because there was no other explanation for the fiery red kimono she donned, other than her traversing time and spending almost a year with Rengoku Kyōjurō. It seemed to her that time flowed differently in both realities, because she was sure that ten months had already passed.
“You what?”
“I was with him… with Kyōjurō,” (Y/n) whispered, feeling her own tears well up in her eyes, before they began falling down her cheeks. “I… he fought Akaza, and he lived… but I disappeared.”
“You’re not making any sense, (Y/n). Did you hit your head hard?” With those words, (F/n) reached up and felt for any bumps to the back of her friend’s head— only to find none. “And where’s your bag? Did you leave it somewhere?”
The young woman sat there instead of answering, completely frozen as her silent tears gradually turned into sobs. All the while, her arms wrapped themselves around her friend, and she cried her heart out— for all the things that had been, and all of the things that could have been between her and her beloved Hashira.
She didn’t even know how long they sat there on the ground but, once she was all cried out, (F/n) transferred her to one of the benches that were strewn around the temple; letting her get her bearings, before she set off to try and help her friend find her bag.
With every minute that passed, the pain in (Y/n)’s heart grew harder and harder to deal with— and she wanted nothing more than to go home at that moment, if only to curl up into a ball and try to remember the way that Kyōjurō’s lips felt against hers.
“You look so sad, my love…” The familiar voice had the aforementioned woman looking up, especially when she felt a warm and gentle hand cup her cheek and tilt her face up.
Slowly, tears that she didn’t know she could still produce welled up in her eyes— as she took in the glorious sight that Kyōjurō made in his own black kimono. He had a scar on his closed left eye, but it gave him such a rugged edge that— dare she say— was not unattractive at all. And partnered with the tears, her lips pulled up at the corners in a disbelieving yet relieved smile; something that was all for him as she sprung up and wrapped her arms around him.
“You’re here! How?” Her hands clung tightly to him, curling into the material of his clothes as she buried her face in the crook of his neck— taking in the scent that was so intoxicating and entirely Kyōjurō.
“Well, I had to return your bag…” The blond chuckled, as he ensconced his beloved in his arms— brushing his lips against the crown of her head, and smiling when he felt her lips brush against his skin. “That, and I wanted to ask if you would marry me.”
“Yes! Yes, but… how?” (Y/n) answered with a slight laugh, pulling back and cupping Kyōjurō’s cheeks in her hands; as if to make sure that he really was there.
The young man grinned then, taking hold of one of her hands and turning his head to press his lips against the inside of her wrist. “It took a while to arrange everything with Oyakata-sama, and to figure out how to get here, but I’m sure that one of his descendants from this time and reality would have my identification papers for me.”
Silence passed between the couple then, as (Y/n) tossed and turned his words in her head, before giving in and wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her lips against his— in a much-anticipated kiss.
She had so many questions left unanswered, and she was extremely tempted to face the gods once more and ask them what exactly was happening, but she reckoned that it was best not to challenge them anymore.
After all, she had gotten her wish: someone who would love and cherish her forever; and that man was Rengoku Kyōjurō.
BONUS:
(F/n) huffed irately as she stepped back from a thicket of bushes within the temple grounds, still feeling cross with her best friend for disappearing just like that— but not understanding what she was getting at with her explanation of meeting a manga character.
And, finally feeling defeated in her search for (Y/n)’s bag, she circled back to where she left the other woman— only to see her pulling away from a kiss with a weird looking man; someone that looked eerily similar to Rengoku from the Demon Slayer manga.
Instantly, her hackles were raised, as she let out a barking cry, “Hey, you cool cosplay bitch, get away from her!”
Kyōjurō’s eyebrows furrowed at that, as he didn’t understand a lick of what the other woman had said— but he turned back to his future wife and asked, “Is that the friend that you’d mentioned before? She seems protective. You’ve been in really good hands, then.”
“Didn’t you hear me, you weirdo? Get your hands off of (Y/n)!”
“She has my thanks for protecting you all this time.”
