I volunteer as a recess monitor at my kids' school once a week, and while I was there today, my youngest kid's teacher pulled me aside and said that my kid had informed her that I was a "Tolkien expert" (they're reading the Hobbit in class right now) and could I advise her about a few things? 😅 Oh man. Like, I would not call myself a Tolkien "expert"... at ALL, haha... I would not say "expert!" I mean, I'm a FAN! And I had to try to explain this to the teacher, because apparently my child thinks I'm a foremost Scholar in Elvish or something, and has been telling everybody as much. 😂😭

[IDOLiSH7] [Part 6] Chapter 4: Like a candle
6.4.1. - Bonds | Freedom
Nikaidou Yamato: Regarding MEZZO’’’s new song… what did you mean by wanting to do it like me?
Ousaka Sougo: …I don’t know how to put it well. But in the past, when the topic of the entertainment industry or your parents came up…
Ousaka Sougo: …It… put you in a very bad mood, didn't it?
Nikaidou Yamato: I really held such a grudge, huh….
Ousaka Souko: Ah, no, that’s not…
Nikaidou Yamato: I’m sorry for causing that trouble…
Ousaka Sougo: No, no! That’s not what I was going for.
Ousaka Sougo: But now you're actively starring in movies, and even doing your best in “Mikazuki Ookami”…
Ousaka Sougo: I realized you’re separating these things from your past… I want to have that sort of mindset, too.
Nikaidou Yamato: Separating… You’re right, I'm kind of separating them.
Nikaidou Yamato: It’s not like I resolved it cleanly, but for now, I won’t let these things catch up to me.
Ousaka Sougo: That’s the feeling I got… You’ve always been a nice person, Yamato-san, but now, it’s an especially natural sort of kindness.
Nikaidou Yamato: Stop flattering me. I was just apologizing for all the trouble I caused.
Ousaka Sougo: I’m not flattering you…
Nikaidou Yamato: But, that… I get it. To put something between you and the Ousaka household, you want to complete this song about bonds?
Ousaka Sougo: …Yes….
Nikaidou Yamato: Isn’t trying to challenge yourself a good thing? But… Sou, you’re the type to overthink things easily, so don’t get worked up about it too hard.
Nikaidou Yamato: There’s a lot of families, and each one progresses differently. I think it’s fine if you do it at your own pace, Sou.
Ousaka Sougo: Thank you… but….
Nikaidou Yamato: What is it?
Ousaka Sougo: I always wanted to be free from my parents.
Nikaidou Yamato: ……
Ousaka Sougo: I wanted to live freely without being controlled. I wanted to freely sing the songs I liked and be in touch with my beloved music.
Ousaka Sougo: But when I got that… I realized that being hated and avoided is a kind of shackle, too.
Ousaka Sougo: I don’t want to care about my parents anymore.
Ousaka Sougo: I'm not wishing for them to love me, and I'm not doubting my decision, either. But I don’t want to feel like this now, after all this time.
Ousaka Sougo: I want to be carefree, unbound by anything. That’s why I want to turn that story of bonds that’s beloved by so many people into a song with my own hands.
Ousaka Sougo: But to be honest, I would be happy if I could accept my relationship with my parents honestly like you did, Yamato-san…
Nikaidou Yamato: ….Haha…. I didn’t accept it, either.
Nikaidou Yamato: I still think my father is the worst. Maybe it's just because I got fed up and gave up…. But I decided that it's fine like this.
Ousaka Sougo: Why did you think so…?
Nikaidou Yamato: Why…? Hm… I wonder. Maybe because I became an adult?
Ousaka Sougo: An adult…
Nikaidou Yamato: No, maybe not… I still feel like a kid. Wasn’t I more mature and cool last year?
Ousaka Sougo: …..
Ousaka Sougo: I could confirm it using a picture from last year?
Nikaidou Yamato: No, no, I just said that because it fit the atmosphere. Don’t take it that seriously.
Ousaka Sougo: I’m not so sure about you being a child but… right now, Yamato-san, you look carefree and unburdened. Calm and collected like an adult.
Nikaidou Yamato: Ooh, not bad, is it?
Ousaka Sougo: …I think I want to become like you, Yamato-san.
Nikaidou Yamato: ….
Ousaka Sougo: It's probably selfish of me to say that without knowing your worries, Yamato-san, but…
Nikaidou Yamato: Haha… No, that makes me happy. Thank you.
Nikaidou Yamato: Hey, Sou. It’s interesting that although you want to be free, the song you’re making is about bonds.
Ousaka Sougo: Interesting…?
Nikaidou Yamato: Bonds tie you to something. Like a rope you use to tie cattle to a tree.
Nikaidou Yamato: Having your freedom taken away and restraining yourself, that's what bonds are. Freedom and bonds, they are polar opposites.
Ousaka Sougo: …That’s true, isn’t it.
Nikaidou Yamato: Even though we all love both bonds and our freedom, they’re the opposite. And yet we want them both. Living like that is hard. But that's modern society.
Nikaidou Yamato: I’ve already forged bonds with our manager, our members and the fans. I can't leave this place behind.
Nikaidou Yamato: I don’t know what to think about my pathetic father, but I can't leave behind my mother, either.
Nikaidou Yamato: I’m sure that compared to before, I’ve lost some of my freedom. And when you’re bad at accepting bonds, you end up being immobilized.
Nikaidou Yamato: But I wouldn’t say I’m unhappy right now. Sure, it can be painful, but sometimes that sort of restraint isn’t that bad.
Nikaidou Yamato: At least that’s how I think now.
Ousaka Sougo: Yamato-san…
Nikaidou Yamato: I hope you can forge bonds that let you enjoy even the restraint that comes with them.
Ousaka Sougo: …Thank you very much. I’ll seriously think about it… about the meaning of bonds.
Nikaidou Yamato: Ah, right. Speak properly with Tama about it, too. You’ll sing that song together, after all.
Nikaidou Yamato: How have things with Tama been lately?
Ousaka Sougo: We haven’t had any trouble at all. Our problems in the past almost seem like a lie now.
Ousaka Sougo: Lately, I was busy composing, so we couldn’t talk much, but… Tamaki-kun is always considerate.
Nikaidou Yamato: Tamaki, being considerate… he’s really grown up.
Ousaka Sougo: He’s always been kind.
Nikaidou Yamato: That’s true… It was just that he was a free spirit who wasn’t used to having bonds.
Nikaidou Yamato: It’s because Tama started treasuring his bonds, that he felt like he had to do something and started changing both for you, Sou, and for IDOLiSH7.
Nikaidou Yamato: Meanwhile, you’re looking for freedom. You’re opposites in that regard. It’s interesting and kind of typical for MEZZO’’.
Ousaka Sougo: ….That’s right, isn’t it….
Nikaidou Yamato: Sou?
Ousaka Sougo: Ah… No, I’m fine. I will try to talk to Tamaki-kun about it.
Nikaidou Yamato: Yeah, you should do that.
--
Ousaka Sougo: …Right now, Tamaki-kun treasures his bonds more than his freedom…
Ousaka Sougo: I’m happy Tamaki-kun is considerate. It’s comfortable, and I let myself rely on him, but…
Ousaka Sougo: He might have ended up holding himself back. For me, and for IDOLiSH7.
Ousaka Sougo: I was so obsessed with composing “Kizuna”, but really, I have to properly talk with Tamaki-kun.

6.4.2. Don’t wake me up until morning
Takanashi Tsumugi: Tamaki-san going on hiatus…
Takanashi Tsumugi: What could have caused that…? Is he unhappy with his work right now…?
Oogami Banri: Rather than unhappy, he looked impatient to me. Like he was wondering whether it’s okay for him to stay as he is right now.
Oogami Banri: His partner Sougo-kun started composing, his peer Iori-kun started producing. Everyone has a clear vision of what they want to do.
Oogami Banri: In the middle of that, it’s like Tamaki-kun lost sight of what he wants to do.
Takanashi Tsumugi: ……
Oogami Banri: He said something like, “even though everyone is working hard, I’m the only one who’s being so carefree, that it makes me feel out of place”.
Oogami Banri: But it’s not like he is moping around. He wants to do something about it. Like “Is it alright to go on hiatus for the time being?”.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Is that how it was… 
Oogami Banri: Until the Re:vale’s debut, I also thought about going overseas to study dancing.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Re:vale-san…
Oogami Banri: I thought they might have told him something, but that doesn’t seem to be the case…
Oogami Banri: He also said he had no complaints about his work as an idol, the agency, his friends or his fans, either.
Oogami Banri: It really seems to just be his worries about whether it’s alright to stay like this.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Has he told the others about this?
Oogami Banri: It seems like he hasn’t. He hasn’t spoken to Sougo-kun either… Though, he did say he talked to Iori-kun about it a bit.
Oogami Banri: At the start, during the interview with the president, he asked if he could go on hiatus immediately.
Oogami Banri: But as we talked, he ended up saying that he would think about it some more. That’s why we postponed the interview, too. 
Oogami Banri: He didn’t like the idea of telling the president something in the heat of the moment, then getting stubborn and being unable to take it back…
Oogami Banri: He didn’t have the feeling that this would be the case, but just in case…
Takanashi Tsumugi: …Thank you very much… Then, right now, Tamaki-san has put that idea on hold…?
Oogami Banri: Right now, at least.
Takanashi Tsumugi: So that’s how it is………
Takanashi Tsumugi: ….I can’t believe I didn’t notice that Tamaki-san was worrying about this sort of thing….
Oogami Banri: I agree… I had thought that Tamaki-kun is the type of person whose true feelings are easily noticeable. 
Oogami Banri: Hiding his feelings and smiling when he cares about someone like that. Isn’t there someone that reminds you of?
Takanashi Tsumugi: Do you mean Sougo-san…?
Oogami Banri: Correct.
Oogami Banri: I don’t know whether Tamaki-kun unconsciously became more like Sougo-kun, or whether they were always similar to begin with…
Oogami Banri: I thought the same about Sougo-kun’s song. There were a lot of shouts in the first song Sougo-kun composed, right?
Oogami Banri: But now it felt like Sougo-kun was very conscious of Tamaki-kun’s presence.
Oogami Banri: While trying to change themselves, they subconsciously took on each other’s traits. It’s probably because they respect each other.
Takanashi Tsumugi: …..
Takanashi Tsumugi: …..I feel like if Tamaki-san hasn’t told the other members about it, it’s probably hard to talk about for him, too. 
Takanashi Tsumugi: Please be the person Tamaki-san can turn to for advice, so he doesn’t have to worry on his own.
Oogami Banri: Yes. That’s what I intend to do.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Thank you very much…
Takanashi Tsumugi: ……
Oogami Banri: I’m sorry, it’s not the type of talk you should be having on the way home. I didn’t want to exaggerate.
Takanashi Tsumugi: No, it’s fine…
Takanashi Tsumugi: It surprised me too, but I also feel like he would’ve consulted me first if I had just been more reliable…
Takanashi Tsumugi: Now you have more work, because I couldn’t do it… I am so sorry for inconveniencing you… 
Oogami Banri: It’s not your fault, Tsumugi-san. It’s because I am MEZZO’’’s manager.
Oogami Banri: Tamaki-kun probably doesn’t want to see your and Sougo-kun’s sad faces, so that’s why he told me first. 
Oogami Banri: I’m sure this isn’t about trust or whether you are reliable.
Takanashi Tsumugi: …Thank you very much…
Oogami Banri: Leave this matter to me for the time being. If anything happens, I’ll inform you.
Takanashi Tsumugi: …I understand. Please do.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ………
Ousaka Sougo: Aah… Welcome back, Tamaki-kun.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Oh. I’m back.
Ousaka Sougo: Did you go shopping? If you go to buy something after work it must’ve been something you really wanted.
Ousaka Sougo: Is it new King Pudding?
Yotsuba Tamaki: No. A book.
Ousaka Sougo: A book?
Yotsuba Tamaki: Yes.
Ousaka Sougo: What book?
Yotsuba Tamaki: Why are you asking?
Ousaka Sougo: ……Good question…
Yotsuba Tamaki: Ahaha! What’s up with you, Sou-chan? You’re acting like a stalker.
Ousaka Sougo: I’m sorry! I just thought it’s rare for you to buy a book, Tamaki-kun…
Yotsuba Tamaki: I totally get that! How’s it going with the song?
Ousaka Sougo: ….Not yet…
Yotsuba Tamaki: Well, I’m looking forward to it! Good luck!
Ousaka Sougo: Thank you…
Yotsuba Tamaki: Alright, bye.
Ousaka Sougo: Wait! Tamaki-kun!
Yotsuba Tamaki: …….
Tumblr media
Ousaka Sougo: Bonds mean… not being free.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Ehh…
Ousaka Sougo: Tamaki-kun, you like to be free, right? But bonds are the exact opposite of that. So… what do you think about that?
Yotsuba Tamaki: Haha, what a weird question. Are you looking for songwriting ideas?
Ousaka Sougo: ….Yes….
Yotsuba Tamaki: So that’s it… I think one of these is better than the other.
Ousaka Sougo: Bonds?
Yotsuba Tamaki: Yeah. Even if I was free, I’d just be like a kite with a broken thread.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Getting caught by the wind and being blown away somewhere.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Looking at the other kites being flown by children and going, “Ah, wouldn’t that be nice”.
Ousaka Sougo: …..
Yotsuba Tamaki: Not having freedom is a luxury. Because you have a place to come back to.
Ousaka Sougo: Then I… I don’t have freedom anymore, either. My place is right here.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Hm?
Ousaka Sougo: It… It’s the truth.
Yotsuba Tamaki: I’m not doubting you. So? Did that help you with songwriting?
Ousaka Sougo: ……I don’t know….
Yotsuba Tamaki: …….uh huh…
Ousaka Sougo: I, I’m sorry…. But I will treasure your advice, Tamaki-kun. Thank you so much.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Alright. Well then, good luck.
Ousaka Sougo: ….Tamaki-kun.
Yotsuba Tamaki: What?
Ousaka Sougo: Do you think we have a bond?
Yotsuba Tamaki: ………..
Yotsuba Tamaki: …Don’t ask me that after all this time.
Yotsuba Tamaki: You decide! You’re the adult here!
Ousaka Sougo: Ta… Tamaki-kun…
Yotsuba Tamaki: …Ah… Damn it… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell. I suddenly got sleepy so I’ll go to bed now.
Ousaka Sougo: Eh? Ah… okay. Sorry, I also…
Yotsuba Tamaki: It’s fine, I’m sorry. Good night.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Don’t wake me up until morning.
Ousaka Sougo: ………

6.4.3. - Scenery
Yotsuba Tamaki: This sucks. I couldn’t help myself and snapped at Sou-chan…
Yotsuba Tamaki: …Aah, I have to find something soon. Just like Sou-chan found composing. Or like Aya found Kujou.
Yotsuba Tamaki: My “something” … There has to be “something” for me, too…
Yotsuba Tamaki: Why am I like this…? Just like my old man, I get frustrated and start to suddenly yell at people…
Yotsuba Tamaki: …Don’t forget me. Do you know how hard I tried up until now?
Yotsuba Tamaki: For you guys…
(ring ring)
Yotsuba Tamaki: …Phone…
Yotsuba Tamaki: It’s Tenten…

Passerby A: Hey, hey, did you watch “Backyard MAGIC” yesterday?
Passerby B: I did, I did! Seeing an idol documentary sure is interesting!
Passerby A: It’s super funny! My parents weren’t interested in idols up until now, but they became fans after they watched the show!
Passerby B: Mine too, mine too! My father even said he wants to go to a live with me!
Passerby A: It’s interesting when you realize there’s a gap between their true selves and their persona! Especially with TRIGGER!
Passerby B: I totally get that! Aren’t they surprisingly funny!?
Passerby C: Right~! I thought they’d be more serious!
Passerby B: There’s also ŹOOḼ! They really aren’t as scary as I thought!
Passerby A: They seem the most grown up! But I can sympathize with their shyness.
Passerby B: I heard Re:vale were secretly on bad terms, but don’t they get along super well?
Passerby A: No, that was definitely fake… They weren’t on a TV show or anything, but they still got along so well. They’re really going at it.
Passerby C: I think so, too. They were even doing each other’s nails, that’s way too much. They’ve got an eye on each other.
Passerby B: Do you think so…?
Passerby B: IDOLiSH7 was just like I imagined!
Passerby A: They really were as expected! Ah, but Mitsuki-kun was cooler than I thought he’d be!
Passerby C: Yeah, he was really cool! He was like a working adult in the middle of a meeting!
Passerby B: Right~! Yamato-san and Nagi-kun were surprisingly spoiled and cute!
Passerby A: And MEZZO’’ were being flirty as usual!
Passerby C: Right~! MEZZO’’ debuted first, after all, so they get along the best.
Passerby A: Iori-kun is being harsh with Riku-kun, isn’t he?
Passerby C: He really is. I want to see them get along well~. I did get hooked on their drama…
Passerby B: We’ll see more soon! I’m looking forward to next week‘s episode, too!
--
Show director: Good work today.
Isumi Haruka: Ah… A “BackMAGIC'' staff member. Good work today.
Show director: You were really cool during the shooting. You put a lot of heart into it.
Isumi Haruka: (munching) You think so? Thanks.
Show director: That looks delicious.
Isumi Haruka: Ahaha… A staff member gave it to me. Well, I took it. Chocolate daifuku*…
Show director: If it’s okay, can you answer questions while you’re eating?
Isumi Haruka: Questions? Sure. Ah, wait, let me swallow this… Or actually, I’ll eat up first.
Show director: You can take your time.
Isumi Haruka: Okay. (munching)
Show director: Isumi-san, in your perspective, what is an idol?
Isumi Haruka: Eh!? Isn’t… Isn’t that a heavy question to ask me while I’m eating daifuku…?
Show director: Ahaha. I’ll wait for you to finish eating, so take your time to think about it.
Isumi Haruka: Eeh….
Show director: Do you want me to ask again later?
Isumi Haruka: Eeeh…. wait a minute… Hmmm….
Show director: ……
Isumi Haruka: (munching)
Show director: …….
Isumi Haruka: I’m thinking about it properly after all. Can you come ask me about it later?
Show director: Sure, I will do that.
Isumi Haruka: Are you asking this to everyone?
Show director: Yes. That’s the plan.
Isumi Haruka: Huh. Looking forward to it.
Show director: We’re looking forward to it, too. Isumi-san, since we’re here already, do you have a word to say to the studio?
Isumi Haruka: A word!? To Mr. Shimooka-san and Izumi Mitsuki-san!?
Show director: As promotion for the drama…
Isumi Haruka: Okay, got it…
Isumi Haruka: Mr. Shimooka-san! Mitsuki-san! The final episode is almost here! Please watch the drama!!
--
Mr. Shimooka: He said we should watch the drama! How cute~!
Izumi Mitsuki: Right~! Even though he was so cool in the drama! Like when he was covered in bright red blood!
Mr. Shimooka: Mitsuki-kun, are you watching the dramas your group mates and the other groups star in?
Izumi Mitsuki: As long as I have time, I watch them! I used to record dramas and shows my group members were in, and then I’d watch them during the day.
Mr. Shimooka: Did you pull all-nighters?
Izumi Mitsuki: Yeah. I figured they’d want to hear my thoughts, since I wanted to hear theirs, too.
Izumi Mitsuki: We live in a dorm, right? So I often watch TV with the other members and when I turn my head, it’s like, “wow, it’s the real deal!”.
Mr. Shimooka: That’s the kind of experience you only get in a dorm, isn’t it?
Izumi Mitsuki: Exactly, exactly!
Izumi Mitsuki: Even though our leader is acting so realistically on TV, when I turn around at home, I can see him sitting there eating ramen with his glasses all fogged up.
Mr. Shimooka: Ahaha! That’s nice! Even though you’re idols, you lead normal lives!
Izumi Mitsuki: It was so much fun… Whenever one of us said they’d be on TV, we made a big deal out of it.
Izumi Mitsuki: When I watched TRIGGER’s and Re:vale’s commercials, my heart was pounding, like, “I’ve met these people in real life”….
Mr. Shimooka: When did it start to sink in?
Izumi Mitsuki: Eeh, that’s a difficult question… I still sometimes wonder if this is a dream.
Mr. Shimooka: From when would it be a dream? From the time of your debut already?
Izumi Mitsuki: That’s a good question… Maybe from the point where you gave me your position as the moderator of Black or White, Mr. Shimooka…
Mr. Shimooka: I didn’t do that though!
Izumi Mitsuki: Ahaha! It ended up being an actual dream! Well then, time for a commercial!
Staff: Okay! Move the set!
Mr. Shimooka: Phew… Good work. Mitsuki-san, how about going for a drink tonight?
Izumi Mitsuki: I’m sorry! I gotta get up early tomorrow…
Mr. Shimooka: Ah, you’re busy. You may be young, but you shouldn’t push yourself. Make sure to take care of your body.
Izumi Mitsuki: Thank you.
Mr. Shimooka: By the way, did you hear about the new plan for the show?
Izumi Mitsuki: A new plan…?
Mr. Shimooka: Yeah. I was told it is supposed to be a large scale, long term project.
Mr. Shimooka: They said the president of your agency is involved, too.
Izumi Mitsuki: Our president is…?

6.4.4. Someone’s story
Takanashi Tsumugi: ……
Takanashi Tsumugi: Tamaki-san… I should probably observe this quietly for now. But…
(door opens)
Takanashi Otoharu: I’m back.
Takanashi Tsumugi: President…
Takanashi Tsumugi: President, are you working on something big right now?
Takanashi Tsumugi: Utsugi-san talked to me about it. Revamping Black or White…
Takanashi Otoharu: That’s true. I will be able to talk about it soon.
Takanashi Otoharu: Tsumugi-kun. If this project becomes reality, I might be able to finally make Musubi’s dream come true.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Musubi… my mother’s?
Takanashi Otoharu: Yes.
Takanashi Tsumugi: What kind of dream did mother have…?
Takanashi Otoharu: It’s the same as yours. It’s an interesting thing that you ended up having the same one. I guess it’s in the genes.
Takanashi Tsumugi: ….
Takanashi Otoharu: The greatest live.
Takanashi Otoharu: Creating the greatest live was Musubi’s lifelong dream.
Takanashi Tsumugi: My mother’s dream was to create the greatest live…
Takanashi Otoharu: Yes. I wanted to make it come true together with her, but we both didn’t know…
Takanashi Otoharu: What is the greatest live?
Takanashi Otoharu: It should be a performance where both idols and audience are happy, but what does everyone being happy really mean?
Takanashi Otoharu: You were involved in a lot of lives, too. Since you’ve seen it with your own eyes, I’m sure you know that lives are mysterious, almost like a living thing.
Takanashi Otoharu: The best stars, the best staff, a well-mannered audience who are used to going to lives. A clean and large venue with a good reputation.
Takanashi Otoharu: Even if everyone gathers peacefully, there might still be troublesome lives, or even boring ones.
Takanashi Otoharu: On the other hand, you have artists who just debuted and audiences who aren’t used to lives; a small number of people in an even smaller space…
Takanashi Otoharu: Sometimes, there are lives so dramatic that they make you unable to stop crying, too.
Takanashi Tsumugi: …I understand that… In every IDOLiSH7 performance, the atmosphere and feeling was different.
Takanashi Tsumugi: It’s still IDOLiSH7 doing the live every time, but sometimes I feel relaxed and able to enjoy it, sometimes I feel excited…
Takanashi Tsumugi: It’s like the summary stays the same even though you’re looking at different stories.
Takanashi Otoharu: Right. That’s the interesting part, isn’t it? As they meet more and more people and the zeitgeist changes, they show different sides of themselves.
Takanashi Otoharu: Idols and customers take the time out of their day to come to the same space to create a live…
Takanashi Otoharu: Of course, everyone would aim to create the greatest live.
Takanashi Otoharu: “I want my heart to be moved.”, “I want to see how someone’s heart is moved.”.
Takanashi Otoharu: When the feelings of many become one, when the mood at the venue reaches its climax, that’s when miracles happen on stage.
Takanashi Otoharu: You described it as a story, and that’s exactly it.
Takanashi Otoharu: Together with many other people, we are creating a story.
Takanashi Otoharu: If even one piece is missing, you’ll end up heading towards a different ending, before the story reaches its climax.
Takanashi Otoharu: By chaining many invisible miracles to each other, we can create a story that has never existed before.
Takanashi Otoharu: If the greatest live is like that, it’s more like a monster than a thing…
Takanashi Otoharu: How could a mere human, not a god, create something like that?
Takanashi Tsumugi: …Does that mean you ended up finding an answer, dad?
Takanashi Otoharu: No, not yet. But by working on this project, I feel like I am getting closer to the answer…
Takanashi Tsumugi: …What could this possibly be…?
Takanashi Otoharu: Right, I guess…
Takanashi Otoharu: …It’s like a festival of monsters?

Passerby A: Hey, hey! Isn’t that IDOLiSH7’s Yotsuba Tamaki over there!?
Passerby B: That’s definitely him!! He’s so tall! Hot…
Passerby A: Shh… Don’t cause a fuss! Eeeh, I’m so happy… But I wonder what he’s doing in a place like this?
Passerby B: Maybe he’s meeting someone? Like Sougo-san?
Passerby A: Eeh~! That’d be so cool! Wait, someone is approaching Tamaki-kun’s table…
Passerby B: That’s someone famous, that’s totally someone famous, isn’t it! ….Oh, I’m sorry!
Ousaka Sougo: No, it was my fault.
Passerby A: Eh….
Passerby B: Mhm….
Ousaka Sougo: …….
Passerby A: That person next to you… isn’t that Ousaka Sougo?
Passerby B: Stop addressing him so casually. What if it’s really him?
Passerby A: Just take a look at his face!
Passerby B: I can’t see it from this distance… Wait, why would Sougo-san be watching Tamaki-kun?
Passerby A: I don’t know… What if we asked him?
Passerby B: No way, we can’t just ask that…
Ousaka Sougo: Ah….
Passerby B: …..!
Yotsuba Tamaki: You’re late, Tenten.
Kujou Tenn: Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Passerby B: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god… I know this voice. Oh my god.
Passerby B: And he called him Tenten, so if it’s that person, he said his name twice…
Ousaka Sougo: Kujou-san…
Passerby A: Look, Sougo-san said so, too…
Passerby B: So it is TRIGGER’s Kujou Tennl….
Kujou Tenn: We can’t talk here safely. Let’s move somewhere else.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Where to?
Kujou Tenn: Ryuu’s apartment. The other two are out right now.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Did they ditch you?
Kujou Tenn: They didn’t. Come on, let’s go.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Okay.
Passerby A: Ah… They left…
Passerby B: We got to see some amazing people! Sougo-san is…
Passerby A: Ah, Sougo-san also suddenly disappeared…
--
Ousaka Sougo: ….Tamaki-kun is angry about something…
Ousaka Sougo: But I don’t know the reason…
Ousaka Sougo: Why is it always like this…? This is exactly why he gets angry…
Ousaka Sougo: What could it be…? I thought I was doing well… What made him angry?
Ousaka Sougo: I’ll try looking back on the fights we had up until now. By looking at past situations, I should be able to figure out what is going on right now.
Ousaka Sougo: What happened until now… I gave Tamaki-kun’s pudding to Re:vale-san without permission. I didn’t tell him I met Aya-chan…
Ousaka Sougo: I got drunk and caused him trouble. I threatened Tamaki-kun with a knife because he wasn’t serious enough about making curry…
Ousaka Sougo: ……
Ousaka Sougo: What a bad partner I am…
Passerby C: Hey, hey, isn’t that Ousaka Sougo?
Passerby D: Sougo-kun wouldn’t stand around in a place like this just staring at his hands, would he?
--
Ousaka Sougo: Yesterday’s question was really rude of me, too. Asking him if we have a bond… Of course Tamaki-kun would get mad…
Ousaka Sougo: MEZZO’’’s…
Ousaka Sougo: ….bond…
Ousaka Sougo …exists!
Ousaka Sougo: It exists, right, Tamaki-kun?
--
Passerby E: Hey, hey, isn’t that person Ousaka Sougo?
Passerby F: Sougo-kun wouldn’t stand around in a place like this doing a prayer pose, would he?
--
Ousaka Sougo: I wish I had said that yesterday! I’ll apologize via Rabicha right now and tell him what I meant…
(ring ring)
Ousaka Sougo: Yes, Ousaka speaking here. I’m sorry, I am not done yet…
Ousaka Sougo: If it seems like the delay will get too much, you’ll choose from the existing MEZZO’’ songs…? …Yes… I understand.
Ousaka Sougo: Please just give me a little more time… Even if it’s just one night… Yes. …I am truly sorry for the trouble.
(hanging up)
Ousaka Sougo: ….What should I do, I’m out of time…
Ousaka Sougo: Even though I really want to make a song about the current MEZZO’’’s bonds…
~ to be continued ~

I’ve been following you since you were ovophobia on Instagram (8 years I think) and it’s so cool to see how much your art has changed and grown. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and looking through your blog always amazes me. Whenever I get art block I like to scroll through it to remind myself why I got back into art in the first place.
I was too scared to attack you on Artfight last year but I want to try it this time. I want to be able to give you something back for all of the inspiration you’ve given me over the years. Sorry if that came out creepy.
Thank you for sharing your art. It has touched my heart and changed my life. You inspire me so much :)
Thank you so much for your kind words!! <3 Whenever I get an ask from someone who's followed me for a long while I get a little nervous because ahhhhh I was a literal child back then DFGHFDG but it's also very cool and sweet to know that this thing I do for myself, for fun, means something to other people too... I'm always very flattered when anyone says they've taken inspiration from me and I'm glad I can provide that !!
Please attack me on Artfight and let me know you were the one to send this ask - I always do my best to participate and get as many people back as my time allows! :D
edit: I accidentally deleted your other ask but to clarify, I should have put ‘embarrassed’ instead of nervous; I was just a kinda cringe kid haha. I don’t find this kind of ask creepy, don’t worry.

Ok I read your post. Literally sat down with my cup of morning coffee first thing in the morning and read it start to finish. I was busy traveling which is why I'm just getting back to you now though, by ask because my followers probably aren't expecting a reblogged discussion of top/bottom dynamics on my otherwise sfw blog.
So let me know if I'm getting this right:
Tumblr media
Like, Bakugo wanting to give something to Izuku he would never give anyone else (the vulnerability, I mean!!! not, y'know, access to his... god, just forget it). And their relationship has shifted so fundamentally since when they were kids, multiple times, and opening up (figuratively!!) in such a way to Izuku is just another way for him to shift from whatever toxic shit they had going on earlier to the mutual love and understanding and willingness to be vulnerable with each other they have now. I don't even know if that makes sense. The point is, I totally hc them as vers now.
Also Izuku taking charge. It really is such a huge part of his character, becoming stronger and a leader and more confident and it's so easy to set that aside and focus on his cute, bubbly side but my man's got both! Honestly it's why I tend to avoid fics in general, and fandom too (tho I'm weak and couldn't stay away from mha/bkdk tumblr). I'm always afraid that the versions of characters in my head will be fanonized. I hope I didn't do that to Izuku and Kacchan, ykwim? :| (If you ever wanna like, idk, 👉👈 check out one of my fics and tell me if you think I got them right, that would be cool but no worries if not.)
Also I get what you mean about the feminized Izuku, no shade to anyone who likes that (I mean, he did wear a maid costume in MHA Smash and he does look cute with puppy dog eyes and bunny ears) but omega/bunny/thicc/size-difference Izuku isn't really my thing because... Well, I prefer canonverse too and I've rewatched dvk2 like four times and for me it really hammers home that their power dynamic has evened out so any dom/sub-type dynamic doesn't feel like it fits.
[also re: soyboy. If you check my blog on mobile, it has the urban dictionary definition of soyboy as the header. Plus the first syllable of my irl name sounds like "soy" so that's why I picked it haha :) ]
I'm so flattered that you bothered to read all that word vom! I hope that you're traveling for something fun, or at least that the travels go well. And yeah, please, keep your blog sfw if that's what it is, lol. I'm such a mess in that respect.
But yes, I'd say you've distilled my opinion! Thank you, haha. Squeezed some good puns in there as well. I'm glad you've been pulled over to vers, tho 😈 I know I said that I wasn't trying to convert you, but let's face it, I'm always lowkey trying to convert people, hahahaha. I wish I weren't but I just want people to like what I like, lol.
The way you broke my heart when you said you avoid fics 💀 Let me send you recs! I think I've got an idea of your taste and I can PROMISE quality! However, avoiding fandom is a good choice, haha. Like, I'm happy about all the friends I'm making, and I have a very visceral need to have many many bkdkbks to scream about our boys with, but at the same time, there are a lot of ways in which I was happier in past fandoms where I wasn't involved in the fandom beyond reading and writing fanfic. I could engage with only the content I enjoyed much easier. So, you know, some of this, some of that.
I'd totally read your stuff! Message me or otherwise lmk what one you want me to try and I'll word vom at you again!

An octagon is a shape with eight sides, right?
To: Yuta, Chisa, Monodam and/or Hiroko
Can I get a hug from any of you four? You four are such huge personal comforts to me, and you four deserve way more attention and love than what you already get (which isn't really a whole lot, needless to say)! I've been doing okay, by the way; it'd just be nice if I got some hugs from any of you, y'know? :D
Awh, thanks, sweetcheeks. I appreciate the love from you, and I'm glad to hear that I give you some comfort. I didn't even have to use my womanly charm on you, see? You seem pretty cool, kid, and I'm glad to hear that you're doin' well. Keep up the good work, and come to me if you ever have any problems. Now, here's that hug. You deserve it, especially for claiming me as a comfort character. Thank you, again. Keep spreadin' that positivity, 'kay? I'm sure the others love it too.

Hi there anon!! Wow, it's happened a few times now, but every time I hear that I'm a comfort to someone, I get so flattered! And a huge comfort? That's like the next level after regular comfort! Aww, I'm not too worried about the amount of attention I get, I'm just happy being here to help people if they need me! Oh my gosh, you're so nice anon! I'm blushing so hard just reading this ask!! It's really nice to be appreciated, so I'm gonna turn it back on you! Bet you didn't see that coming! I seriously appreciate you going out of your way to be super sweet, it really made my day!! Ok, ok, I'm calm. Well, I'm still excited and happy, but I'm calm. I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well! Fingers crossed that things keep on going well for you!! And if not, I'm here if you need me! Of course you can have a hug! It's the least I can do after getting such a nice ask! You're absolutely amazing anon, I'll try not to squeeze you too hard!

Thank you so much! It means a lot to know that people think of me as a comfort character, haha. And of course you can have a hug, they’re really nice! Here ya go. I hope you’ve been doing good today, you deserve it! Make sure to stretch and unclench your jaw too, alright? Make sure to treat yourself too, haha! It’s fun to do that!

agajsksns not gonna lie being 10 feet tall sounds awesome. i have no idea how tall that is because the only thing i know about feet (that sounds so wrong) is that google is telling me that i'm 5'6 (sorry to disappoint). which is. average height right? well it doesn't feel like it coz my best friends are giants. they're both 180+ cm tall and they constantly make fun of me for being short. but honestly i win because i can always make them reach things for me.
thank you! that's very sweet, i actually only saw your reply like 20 minutes before the new year so it was right on time! i loved writing to you and waiting to hear back as well, you're a really fun person to talk to!
i know you probably won't see this for a couple of weeks before going on holiday, but have fun!
i laughed really hard at the picture my brain conjured up when reading about you dropping the vampire act and starting to pretend to be a mouse, just straight up scurrying up to the houses on all fours in a bathrobe is hilarious. i'd pay to see that. and yeah! me either. the number of times i've gone outside at night is probably like 3. that's counting that time when i went for ice cream at 11pm to the store on the other side of the street in my pajamas and then had to turn back because it apparently closes at 10 pm. that was a pretty big disappointment
a halloween themed birthday party sounds awesome! it's sort of disappointing though that you can barely remember it. the only themed birthday party i had (or at least the only one that i remember) was princess themed because i was on my princess faze back then (i was 5 or 6 i think). i still remember the sheer joy i felt at being able to wear a long fancy dress. it was brilliant
oh yeah! i'm still slightly scared of blenders because of that time. now anytime i even put my fingers close to the blade i unplug it first. also i saw you got a blender? i think we have one that's similar to the one you described. so i have a couple of suggestions! i like to make banana "ice cream". you just cut up a banana into pieces and freeze it, (i have no idea how long it takes to freeze i just generally always have frozen bananas in my freezer) then you take them out, let them sit for 10 minutes (to not break the blender when you use it) and blend them. i sometimes add frozen berries or peanut butter too! depending on what i want that day. it's great, especially because i'm slightly lactose intolerant too and i absolutely love ice cream. you can also make smoothies as you said. i usually put in mine whatever fruit we have, generally apples, bananas and oranges or grapefruits. or if i'm making one for breakfast (which i know you can't, but this is just a generally more filling option i think?) i also add spinach. you can't really feel the taste but it's supposed to be good for you and it fills you up more (it does make the smoothie super green though!). but yeah i pretty much just mix and match anything i have! also: milkshakes. ice cream, berries (optional) and milk! super easy and my little cousins love it when they visit!
ohhh your grater also seems to be out to get you. i bet it's really painful if it actually falls on your feet, because like metal. on foot. ouch. especially if it hits you with a corner! and i would definitely also get surprised every time it happened no matter how many times it did! bifocal glasses do not sound fun either tho. i would constantly forget how to use them and probably would just get headache really fast too! i get a headache from my normal glasses when i wear them (i usually wear contacts) so bifocal ones would be even worse i bet.
exactly. i had no idea what "hot" means. i thought you were supposed to use it when you thought a person was aesthetically pleasing? or like you thought they look cute? i dunno. i used it a couple of times before i realised that was not what that meant and then i was just like uhhhh yeah i'm gonna delete that word from my vocab. yeah! i think that ace and probably aro too are pretty hard to figure out because it's the lack of something.
ahahsksns i can imagine tiny Lindsey waking up on Christmas morning and running to the window expecting snow in the middle of summer and it's so funny! i can't say anything though because we have this saying in lithuanian which is used essentially when someone does something unexpected and unusual for them so you say "it's gonna snow tomorrow". as in "wow, [name] did [something super unexpected from them], it must be snowing tomorrow" (because like those are equally unexpected things i guess? but it's said in winter too so it's just something you say whenever, i'm sorry it's hard to explain!) but yeah a figure of speech. and anytime i heard that, even in the middle of summer, the next morning i'd run to my window and look for snow and when there was none, i'd just stare accusatorily at my parents. like wow, i can't believe you lied/let someone lie to me
horse races sound fun, i've never been to one though! and a picnic luch sounds awesome! i love picnics but we have them very rarely, i definitely think we should have them more often
and yeah, i get that acid reflux more of an annoyance than a problem but still! i completely agree with you about peanut butter though. it's amazing, i could eat it everyday
I know exactly how tall 10 feet is purely because I’m 5 foot so two of me is 10 foot. I barely know feet but I got used to people being confused when I was like oh, I’m 155cm! so I learnt what my height was in feet but I can really only visualise heights when I put them into centimetres. Someone can be like I’m 6 foot! and that’s great but I don’t have the faintest idea how tall that actually is. 182cm on the other hand is easy. that’s just like one ruler above my height. I can picture that. 5 foot 6 is probably average but as a short person, I consider you tall. That really isn’t saying much at my height but still sdflshdfks. Biggest benefit of tall best friends is indeed making them reach high things though. 
And now we’re almost three weeks into the new year. Time seems to be flying this year. This is a very late reply indeed sdfjhskdfs. I did see this before I left but didn’t have time to reply, thank you though! I did have lots of fun. I had some birds try to invade the unit up in Orewa and I had a dotterel (I think) follow me along the beach at Ngarimu Bay playing some sort of red light green light game with me (it only moved closer and started following me again when I looked away) and I think a blackbird started some sort of mating performance at me which was flattering but uhhhh I’m a bit of a big bird mate. Maybe choose someone else. there was also beaches and gorgeous views etc etc but birds, y’know. birds.
i would 100% do that for money with no regrets. on one hand I could get a job and contribute to society. on the other hand I could do that as my main income. not a hard choice. hire me by the hour to freak your family and friends out. i have no respect for myself i’ll do it to anyone for the right price. damn. only closed one hour earlier. that’s a massive disappointment. i was out at night willingly for my high school prom and for a creative writing night at my uni and inside a car if that counts when I think my family was travelling back from the south island when I was younger. So three times that come to mind. Oh. And if stupid camp burma trails count then add a few times to that but those were not night outings I did willingly.
I can barely remember most of my life, I just assume it happened and I wasn’t just planted here at 12 years old as an alien spy. Anything’s possible though. I remember my birthday cakes more than my birthday parties to be honest with you. My mum always made the cake and when I was young she’d make fun designs. A bee, a bat, a swimming pool and a cat come to me off the top of my head. They were mostly just sponge cats but she cut them and iced them expertly. A princess-themed party seems like a very fun type of party for kids who like that. Kids always seem very happy to dress up in pretty dresses and cool outfits to attend those kinds of parties. I can imagine the joy. I know my little cousin looooves that sort of thing, and her brother isn’t willing to be left out either
thank god you unplug it first now sdfjhsdf that’s incredibly reassuring. Ooo thank you for those suggestions!!! this is great!! I was wanting to try something with bananas and that sounds easy enough. I had an apple and feijoa smoothie while I was away on holiday and all I want is another one of those. So I’m very very very interested in trying out fruit smoothies now because they seem like they can be very very tasty. Spinach seems like such an odd thing to add but I’ve heard that several times now so clearly it’s a thing. I don’t think I’ve ever even had spinach. I’ll keep it in mind though. I suppose if I just try whatever fruit we have on hand eventually I’ll get something that tastes good. I have dairy free ice cream and dairy free milk so it seems like this could work out for me in a way where I’m not regretting my entire life. Normally when I go near a milkshake I regret the day I was born.
It isn’t a super heavy grater but I have intense survival instincts every now and then so it hasn’t actually hit my foot yet. I go diving in the other direction. But I think if it did I’d probably curse a few times before moving on with my life. I don’t think it’d be THAT bad. But I live in fear regardless. oh no. do your normal glasses have a slightly wrong prescription or is this just a thing that happens when you normally wear contacts,,, I’ve never worn contacts because I fear touching my squishy eyeball and also I think my shitty eyesight is too awkward for contacts so I have no idea if that’s a thing.
oh yes haha hot has been solidly deleted from my vocab for many years except in terms of temperature. It has a word that has never naturally come to mind and I’m sure it never will. It just seems weird when I use it. 
I was a fool of a child and absolutely nothing has changed there! I mean I know how hemispheres work now but I’m still a dumbass at heart. Hahahahahaha oh nooooo. That’s incredible but oh noooo. I get what you mean by the saying though, that’d make a lot of sense here honestly since it never snows ever. Locally, at least. 
i think horse races are just a form of betting and losing money that is frowned upon less than actual buildings based on gambling and such. I mean I only ever attended those ones, idk if all horse races are like that, but I know there was buying tickets for whatever horse you thought would win, and if they did you got money, if they didn’t you lost money. I don’t think it was a whole lot of money ? just like a few bucks ? but maybe you could choose to bet more ? I really don’t remember how it worked, I just remember accidentally finding a ticket on the ground and handing it in only to receive some money because the horse won. I think it was like 5 or 10 bucks which seemed like a LOT to my kid self. picnic lunches are fun though. my family keeps a tartan blanket in the back of the car that we use whenever we have picnics and also whenever we get takeaways (we put it in the middle of the lounge floor as the rest of my family eats fish and chips and I eat sushi, normally). But we don’t have as many as we used to. They are fun though.
can confirm i do eat peanut butter everyday and it goes brilliantly.

This is Viramaire, a calm and poised but somewhat snarky undertaker. She's very gentle by nature and makes sure every family knows their beloved are in good hands. She has a dry wit and a playful side to her, which can lead to her being kind of a troll. Her hobbies include tarot reading, sewing and board games.
"I assume you expected me to be clad in black, oozing melancholy and calling out to those at rest as ravens circle overhead? How embarrassing, I must have picked up the wrong dry cleaning. Isn't that just absurd~?"
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
"Viramaire Ronove, at your service."
WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?
"Weren't you just listening? Tsk tsk, keep up, love."
DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU WERE CALLED THAT?
"I should hope so; I chose the name. Didn't much care for the name my parents gave me, among other things, so I chose Viramaire. Elegant and enigmatic."
ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN?
"Wouldn't you like to know~?"
HAVE ANY ABILITIES OR POWERS?
"None that I am aware of. I can read tarot cards, I suppose. Know a bit of demonology, but nothing extraordinary."
STOP BEING A GARY STU.
"You children keep using that phrase...I don't think it means what you think it means."
WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOR?
 "It may be hard to see with my glasses, but my eyes are a silvery blue."
HOW ABOUT YOUR HAIR COLOR?
"A lovely light lavender."
HAVE YOU ANY FAMILY MEMBERS?
"Did you believe I spawned from nothingness? Well, actually, that's not too far from the truth..."
OH? WHAT ABOUT PETS?
"I have a stunning little boa~ His name is Asmodai. Would you like to see a picture? He's not quite full grown here, but this is a picture his previous owner sent me: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/59/51/63/5951636114c1c477e49b5a63b2737a8c.jpg "
THAT’S COOL I GUESS, NOW TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE.
"Can't say I care for sports much. Never was an athletic sort. I always managed to get my glasses broken in gym classes as a child."
DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES/ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE DOING?
"I love to sew. I actually design and sew all my own clothes. Much easier than going store to store looking for the right fit. Maybe I can whip up something for you sometime. Not without payment, of course~"
EVER HURT ANYONE BEFORE?
"This is a very odd question. Are you referring to physical injury or emotional damage? I'm hardly a fighter but I'm sure I've torn out a few hearts in my day, though not all of them I regret~"
EVER….KILLED ANYONE BEFORE?
"I didn't mean literally ripping someone's heart out...The human ribcage is quite the durable beast."
WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU?
"I'm a female of the elven kind, can't you tell?"

DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL?
"I'm a bit old for lessons, but I'm flattered you felt the need to ask~"

on the way home. (Azami X Kumon oneshot)
Summer is almost over and autumn will come soon. There goes the school bell, ringing that it's time to go home. I stood up and picked up my bag and head over to Azami's room to pick him up.
It's been a year since he entered my school, Tsukushi High, and we always head home together. To be honest I was happy that Azami came to my school so I can have a new friend to hang out after school. Sometimes we hang out at my favorite batting place, to the mall to check out new makeup for him and I ending up as his model to test the products. But I don't mind at all, as long he's enjoying himself.
There are times we come home late from spending too much time on our hangouts haha. I smiled as I approach Azami's room and happily greet him,
"AZAMIIII, school's out c'mon let's hang out!" I cheerfully called out as he turned to me frowning as he pick up his things.
"Alright alright no need to shout," he said and head out and I tag along.
"Azami, is there any particular place you wanna hang out today? It's gettin pretty chilly since autumn is comin' up."
"Nah I wanna head home early today, how 'bout you?" he shrugged and yawns.
"Me? Well I wanna go for a little detour but since you said you're going straight home, guess I'll go home as well."
"Well we have time thou, where is that detour you're sayin'?"
"Hehe wanna find out? Follow me." I said teasingly and dash ahead.
"Hey no fair! Get back here!" Azami yelled and dash off as well chasin' me. I laughed and ran like a mad man as I head to the place where I found a new spot for hangin' out.
It's only a few blocks away from school and no one has ever set foot on it so I wanted to show Azami this new spot to hang out. It's an empty field with a perfect spot to watch the sunset.
Finally we arrived at the empty field and I lay down on the ground, catching my breath and I saw Azami's face starin at me from above.
"You're such a dumbass, dashing off like that what if you suddenly faint from exhaustion? You know your health is not that well. You're gonna be heavy as I carry you home." He sighed and lay down as well beside me.
"Well when that happens you're still gonna carry me home right?"
"How about no?"
"EH. You're so mean Azami!" I sat up and glared at him.
"I'm kidding, you're so easy to tease haha." He laughed and sat as well. There it is again, that throbbing feeling in my chest whenever Azami smile or laughs. I wonder if I'm getting sick or something. I just laughed it off and stare at the setting sunset.
"This is a pretty cool spot to relax. When did you find this?"
"Oh. When I was runnin' late last time I passed by here and it was close to the station and no one really comes here so yeah another free space to relax and practice swings! Hehe." I laughed and Azami just looked at me, smiling.
"Well thanks for the new hang out place, maybe if we're gonna skip school let's go here since it's not that far."
"Ah! Skipping school is a no no Azami!"
"Heh, but you go along with me whenever you feel like skipping your class."
"W-Well that's only a one time event! Besides I promised Mom that I'll do well at school so I can stay at the dorms with niichan."
"Haha you really love your family Kumon, I kinda envy you." he said and stares at the sunset.
"Why though? You have Sakyo-san, the Ginsekai and Mankai as your family, also me! You're like a brother to me too, Azami." I said but I know my feelings are not merely a brotherly love. It's something else.
"Well I know that, it's just I don't know how to react back," he muttered.
"But yeah even I can't tell it in words, I can just simply show it with my actions."
"Yeah exactly! You're a good guy Azami that's why I like you so much hehe."
"Huh like?"
"Uh I mean I like you as friend! Ha ha ha..."
"You're such a weirdo sometimes Kumon, but I like that part of you. It's like your charm that people come to like you."
"Really? I'm kinda shy to hear that." I laughed and scratch my head that Azami is complimenting me.
"I'm serious, you're approachable, kind and full of energy. And I think that's really cool."
"Well you're more cooler Azami! Even though you're young, you're dependent, can fight and manly!"
"Pfft. Stop the flattering,"
"Eh~ but I'm serious, I really like those characteristics of yours Azami."
"Well it's look like we admire each other's good sides," We laughed it off and stare again at the setting sunset. Then he turns to me and chuckles,
"What's so funny?" I asked confused that he's suddenly laughing.
"Can I say something weird?"
"Yeah?"
"Well in most situations, normal couples mostly hang out here in an empty field like this to make out, but here we are, two guys chillin as we watch the sunset."
"There's nothing wrong with that though, it's just we're chillin. Couples are not the only ones can hang out in places like these haha."
"Yeah right." He said and lay down again on the grass closing his eyes.
"Hey Azami, I gotta say you're pretty good looking, and I bet you're popular with the girls at school. Is there a type you like?"
"Nah. Girls at school are annoying and noisy. But Kantoku is an exception."
"Do you like Kantoku then?"
"Yeah I like her, but not in an romantic way. I respect her as our Director and nothing else."
"Hmm I see,"
"Looks like you have more something to say, you can ask me anything if you want,"
"Anything?"
"Yeah yeah, since we're chillin' out here and all."
"Then," I paused and took a deep breath and turned to him, completely serious about what to ask.
"Hey Azami, what would you do if a guy confesses to you?" I said and he looked at me shocked and I turned away at him scratching my head. Great, you're the best Kumon, why in the world did you ask that thing? Especially to Azami. As I roast myself when Azami muttered,
"Well, I would feel weird but yeah I'll respect the guy's gut for confessing. And I-I don't know if I would like a guy..." he muttered and started to blush. I don't know if he's blushing or it's just the sunset. But I pressed my thoughts and ask him again,
"Then what would you do if I confessed to you?"
"You confessing to me?"
"Yeah." I said firmly starin into his eyes. I don't know what got into me and why am I sayin' these things.
"Well I'm flattered, that you like me. Ah I mean, why would you confess to me anyway? Are you teasing me again Kumon?"
"Why would I joke at a time like this, I'm serious, I Iike you Azami."
"Huh, what does that mean." he muttered and starts to cover his face. I chuckled and stop him from covering his face as I lean in to him. We're so close that I can feel his breath and can hear his heart beating.
"Well if you don't like it, let's just forget this happened and stay as friends. I don't want our friendship to get awkward and all haha." I smiled bitterly and starts to stand up when Azami stopped me and clutches my sleeve.
"Wait. You didn't heard my answer yet dumbass," he said and I sat down, focused about what he's going to say.
"I, I like you too Kumon. I know it's weird that we're both guys but I really admire the things you have which I don't. And yeah, ugh. You know what I mean," he said and blushes looking down at the ground.
"Haha you're so cute Azami blushing like that, oh then that means we're going out now?"
"Whatever you call it," he muttered and I hugged him so tight, I'm so happy right now coz we feel the same way. I feel I hit a homerun right now.
I smiled and stare into Azami's eyes and about to lean in for a kiss when he stop me.
"Hey just because we're going out doesn't mean we can do those things,"
"Those things?"
"Aw c'mon you know what I mean Kumon,"
"And what is that?" I asked teasingly as I lean in so close that I can just peck his lips.
"Like kissing and stuff... Wait how do guys kiss?"
"Pfft hahaha, you really gonna ask that? I'll show you," I chuckled, leaning in and pecked his lips.
"How do you know these stuffs? You don't look like the type to do these things like kissing, dumbass."
"Well I learn a one or two from Muku's shoujo mangas and there's nothing different except we're both guys haha."
"Whatever let's go home, Shitty Sakyo might yell at me again if we come home late again," he said standing up and starts to walk.
"Ahh Azami! Wait for me! You're so cruel." I pout and followed him.
I held his hand and he held back. We head home with smiles as we gaze into the starry sky as we head home.

You give such mature, cool & CEO vibes is exactly right, Anon!! I so see it too! The short & angry makes a lot of sense. I know at this point I am just completely agreeing with the anon (haha!) but it really is what I wanted to say too!!
I just always assumed you’re smart, so smart esp book smart? And short. I always felt like you’re short too. You also strike me to be someone who has had to work through their boundaries & lay down real strict ones. You’ve a well of compassion & sensitivity but you do well to hide it. It scares you? How much you care for people.
You give such mature, cool & CEO vibes is exactly right.
Honestly you and the previous anon are flattering me with the CEO vibe comment but I sound more like someone who lives with wolves instead of an executive in a shiny office. A CEO doesn't curse as much as I do lol.
I just always assumed you’re smart.
I don't think I'm that smart. But yea I'm book-smart instead of street-smart. Like... once I used water to clean the dirt on my shoes while wearing those shoes and got surprised when my socks got wet.
Someone who has had to work through their boundaries.
Oh true. Like I said before I was a quiet and timid child. Quite innocent. Other kids could be mean to me and I would be wondering why, because I just wanted to be friends.
You’ve a well of compassion & sensitivity but you do well to hide it. It scares you? How much you care for people.
Look, I am sensitive and I can be compassionate but at the same time... I'm not. It's hard for me to explain and I'm not trying to sound edgy when I say this lol. I'm all about human rights, I'm considerate when working with people but I'm very self-oriented. I don't sacrifice myself unless it's for my goals and principles or because I like you. I don't often get emotionally attached.
Send me an assumption you have about me in my ask. I’ll confirm or dispute it 😈✨

Hello i'm new to the cp fandom tell me more about it :o (sorry for the spam in notes i love ur blogg
Tumblr media
Welcome and thank you so much for your ask, iztas! 
I absolutely love answering the rare asks I get with everything I got, thanks for sending it in! I’m flattered that you’d ask me such a question. 
Don’t feel like you have to apologize though, gosh! I love seeing peeps like you spamming my notes and stuff, it’s really helpful for me to see what posts my followers actually like seeing considering I’ve been trying to focus on more original posts rather than reblogs lately and unlike most of the other Club Penguin blogs I don’t have much of a theme yet. 
My answer is going to be pretty detailed considering introducing someone into a new fandom is quite lengthy so I’m going to have all of this under a “Read More” cut to spare the dashboard scrollers and innocent blog skimmers the pain:
First off, there’s a very important fact I’d like to make clear when talking about entering a kid’s fandom: No matter what age range you make your content for if you’re an older teen/adult don’t enter a fandom for kids if you don’t expect to interact with them at one point. Might seem harsh but it’s true, you don’t even know how many older fandom members I’ve seen be mean, inappropriate, or impatient to little kids coming across their content! Always correctly age restrict or tag whatever’s a little to not-child-friendly and be respectful to any younger fandom members you come across. Us older members are allowed to enjoy this kind of stuff all we want but it was originally “their” game in the first place after all!
I don’t know if you’d like to start your own blog or not but considering other new fandom members may see this they might want this sort of information. As most fandom blogs you can pick a theme that aligns with your talents such as art, animation, gifs, edits, commentary, screenshots, observations, etc. But you don’t have to unless you really want to. Take my blog for example, it’s really whatever pops into my head that I think would make a nice post. That’s really just because my interests change so constantly that I can’t ever stay on one thing to want to do constantly for the blog but still. 
If you ever made a Club Penguin blog though everyone would welcome you with open arms and I’d surely be your first follower, we love seeing new members.
Now that we have that out of the way I’d like to recommend some great CP Tumblr Bloggers since I know for a fact you have a Tumblr blog, I’m going to recommend at least 2-3 at a time so you won’t be overwhelmed and can find some more yourself. I’ll have to leave a lot of my favorites off the list though, sadly, (including some awesome guys who only post Club Penguin stuff once and a while) so please try to look for more yourself:
Artists: @404pengu (Great person, cute art, cute OCs!), @dundotten (Has a really really charming style, reminds me of a storybook.), @weenierufu (Mimics the Club Penguin style so well! You’re going to be seeing a lot of them here in these lists they do a lot for the community.).
Ask Blogs: I made a whole post about all the Club Penguin ask blogs I knew of. It’s really outdated though, I’m going to make a Part 2 soon. ALSO FOLLOW @chibi-penguins IT’S SO ADORABLE.
Random: @party-blaster (Kinda falling in love with this one lately.), @dirtyconfessionsclubpenguin (Freaking hilarious to scroll through when bored.), @penguini-fettuccine (Technically an art blog too but it’s a really cute little blog check it out anyway.).
Now for some Club Penguin YouTubers. I’m going to be more relaxed with the “only posts CP once and a while” thing:
Animators: Hat Pop n’ Sharkbate (Makes some really cool and professional looking little shorts.), WeenieRufus (@weenierufu‘s YouTube, they don’t post Club Penguin all the time but they’re super talented I love their work.), Gustavo Sorian (This guy mimics the style almost perfectly and is really talented! Check him out!), MidnightAurora [Maddie8972] (Breaking the “only 3″ rule a bit but she does some awesome stuff!).
Comedy Sketch Things: NachozRuleCP (I used to watch this guy all the time when I was younger, he’s really talented.), Pup1oneCP (I have a lot of respect for this guy, he’s worth checking out.), Narutohhiii (Really funny from what I remember, probably not the best guy to show to little kids though, pfft.).
CP History And Facts: CPWorld (One of the more known ones I suppose.), Club Penguin Space (Used to own one of my favorite CP blogs ever, he’s great.), BeefyPenguin9 (Really cool guy and seems really dedicated. I’d recommend him a lot.)
There’s also a Discord server that a lot of the popular CP Tumblr bloggers are a part of made by the awesome @skip-the-bellhop. It’s like a little family and I’m known as the “Mom” there, haha. You can always PM me if you want to know more about the server.
I wouldn’t be able to name any good names but I know for a fact there’s a pretty nice community on DeviantArt and Amino! The Twitter community is one of the most known but I’m not a part of it (yet) so I can’t tell you anything about it, sadly. But I might make a Twitter account as a side addition to my blog someday, so maybe one day I might be able to answer your questions about Twitter too.
Thanks again for asking me, this post took me forever to write but I happen to like this community a lot. If you or anyone else new to the community seeing this have more questions I didn’t have an answer to in this post then feel free to send me as many asks as you want, I love answering them!

Hello!!! It took me awhile to work up the courage to write this because you just seemed so cool and I didn't want to annoy you but I really wanted to complement you aaahhh 。゚(゚´ω`゚)゚。 Your writing is just amazing and super duper cool and it draws me in so much and it's something I really appreciate because 9 times out of 10 I'm gonna analyze for inconsistencies or something in stories because... Not enough going on, I guess? (1/5) ~ Silac
And it’s double amazing because!!! Beautiful grammar and flow!!! I’m not getting hung up on petty stuff!!! Truly a work of art, uh. Ms? Mr??? Mx????? Friend, I guess, I can’t figure out your gender/pronouns, whoops. But yeah I really really like your writing and the way it flows! o(^▽^)o That aside- The main reason for this message was TWiFFON, I mean??? It combines some of my favorite things- Tony Stark, JARVIS, accidental world domination, protection squads, mildly scary AI’s… (2/5) ~ Silac
I can’t ask for more, really. And you address so many cool things and don’t ignore Tony’s mental conditions and how much he loves and depends on JARVIS!!!!! I’ve even daydreamed about it like!!! What will happen next!!! Are there gonna be more Peter-JARVIS interactions beyond what’s already been seen? Does Tony become Peter’s Surrogate Dad??? Does JARVIS become fond of Peter in a “Grandparent-Grandchild” sort of way????? (3/5) ~ Silac
Do they come up with “If Tony Dies We Reck the World” plans at some point, or does that happen with Rhodey and Pepper??????? (I love Peter+Avengers too much whoops) And! What about the Infinity Stones!!! Does Tony end up using any of them, if at JARVIS’ insistence (given he seems to want Tony to live longer…)? Just!!! Super cool story and everything and haha wow I really hope this isn’t annoying or weird or anything, if it is just ignore it I guess??? (4/5) ~ Silac
But yeah you’re one of my favorite writers right now so!!! Keep it up!!! Remember to take care of yourself!!! Sleep and eat and take a break if you need to, no one will be angry. I hope you’re doing well~ ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ (5/5) ~ Silac
Hi, friend! [Hope you don’t mind my grouping the ask series together, I’m still new at several aspects of Tumblr.] 
I’m really glad you like my writing, and I’m really flattered [read: this ask basically my day, and it’s been a long one, seeing it made me smile] by it! I’m female, so she/her pronouns work just fine, and I’m trying to go by Naught if possible [it’s a long story involving my pen name, wherein NotCarrie= Naught…yes I like puns, sorry about that], and currently working on the next chapter of TWiFFON whenever my computer’s not joining the robot uprising or exams at at hand [like today *headdesk*].
As for the fic itself: I have an outline for it [if you want spoilers, it’s in one of my previous posts, should be under my tag for this entire AU], but I’ve been going off-script detailing stuff I’d skimmed over [like the entire setup arc for Age of Ultron]. I’m really glad you’re liking it, and hope you still will after I’m done because I’ve been [and still will be] flying by the seat of my pants this entire time. 
When it comes to writing this fic, I’ve been having maaaybe just a little too much fun planning [accidental] world domination. Especially with the turn MCU’s gone lately; I had to look up a script of Age of Ultron [because seeing the movie once was enough for my JARVIS feels], and even this early on can’t help but wonder why Tony’s never snapped [yet]. [Then again, that’s the basis for my entire endeavor for this fic, so.]
This current arc’s focused on the movie and the subsequent fallout, and instead of a robot uprising the Avengers’ll be facing down yet another alien invasion. JARVIS has, so far, been mostly benign, but Age of Ultron’s where his sheer ruthlessness will start to show through. Nothing drastic [not yet], but still.
Peter’s very much in the background at the moment— I’m using The Amazing Spider-Man as my basis for his portion of this fic, and he won’t gather his courage to visit Gwen until later on. But don’t worry, he’ll make his appearance, and JARVIS will be reminded of another bright-eyed teenager with dark hair and an unhealthy fascination with things that go boom. 
Tony’s going to be flailing internally because his social skills are for cameras only and AbsenteeDad!Howard is his main reference for anything vaguely paternal, so he thinks that he’s in the clear by emulating his butler when it comes to dealing with anyone under the age of 25. [I’m calling the unreliable narrator card here; he thinks he’s just the kinda random and aloof teacher/mentor figure to the kid, Peter’s seeing a kind and encouraging man telling him he has potential.] However, I’m also debating as to how I can save his Uncle Ben [even if the man doesn’t have a role in my fic, I just want to see if I can do it plausibly], so. 
As for the ‘If Tony Dies’ portion— this’ll come up later [and gets touched on in the outline, I think]. Minor spoiler: JARVIS has been stepping up his game, but up until now he’s been leaving everyone else on his priority rankings mostly alone. Age of Ultron’s where the status quo shifts, and Happy makes a cameo [or, at least, that’s what he’s slated for, unless something changes]. However, overall, JARVIS would rather reveal himself to the world at large than risk Tony’s safety, so no plans per se. [I have a nebulous idea for a fic about it, but I’m trying to curb them until after this fic’s done.] However, for the most part Tony’s made it clear he wants to save the world, so they’d probably do that to respect his wishes.
And as for the Infinity Stones? Spoilers. ;)
…okay, really I have that portion sorted out, but I’m mostly sticking to MCU, and while JARVIS is looking into possible methods to extend life, his threat analysis says there’s more immediate concerns [with the biggest at the moment being HYDRA].
I just had a recent round of tests [pre-med, woo! *headdesk*], thus the lack of progress, and life’s shaping up to be hectic for a while so I want to see if I can finish it up by the time finals are inbound.
Again, I’m glad you’re liking it so far!

Sooo I also really ship Michael/Pete and I'd love to hear some of your headcanons you have for them if you're willing to share (I would just message you but you're cool and I'm painfully shy >_
I’ve had a couple people saying this to me lately, and I’m flattered, guys, but I don’t know that I’m really that cool! Please don’t be afraid to talk to me, I love making new friends on here! :)
Now, as for your question, I just have to say: yaaaaazzzzz, ANOTHER METE SHIPPER!!!! :DDD I feel so alone sometimes, haha! It’s awesome to know I’ve got someone else to add to the fam.
As far as headcanons about their relationship, or Pete himself, I don’t really have any that I can think of at the moment??? (I’m tired, please forgive me.) But I do have a couple about Michael that I’d love to share with you!
To start, let’s talk about Michael’s role in the group.
I just have to start off by saying that the reason I can more easily conjure headcanons about him is because I used to rp as him, and a lot of what I think now stems from explorations of his character that I went through while playing.
Anyway, I have this theory that if any of the goths were to come out and say that they weren’t really goth, it would be Michael. I mean, think about it: methinks thou doth protest too much, Michael dear? He’s always the one going on and on about being anti-conformist, and how much more hardcore he is than everyone else. I think it’s a front. I think that the time when his parents were getting divorced (and his dad subsequently remarried) really took a toll on him. I think he didn’t have many friends, mostly kept to himself–because he’s kinda antisocial, outside of a group–and he was nerdy and weird and wore a lot of black, and most of the other kids didn’t think he was cool enough to be a part of their clique. Then along comes the other goths! Maybe one of them of commented on the trench coat he was wearing that day, or his eyeliner, or something? And then he was like: hold up, wait just a fucking minute, I could actually be seen as cool for this shit??? I could have friends if I act and dress like this????? And so began his self-appointed reign as King Goth. He clings to them like a life line, because all he can think is that if he were to be outed as a poser and lose them, he’d return to that dark and lonely place that he was at way back then…
The other one I’d like to share with you is actually kinda about their relationship, in that it’s my idea of how they would’ve interacted before that time.
I like to headcanon, sometimes, that Pete would’ve spent most of their childhood time together assuming Michael was ace. And that, conversely, Michael would’ve interpreted Pete’s apparent dismissals of his advances as him just not being interested. The reason I think this is because I don’t think that showing affection or making his intentions known would come easily to Michael. And, therefore, I think Pete would attribute asexuality to him just to be kind and not throw a bunch of labels on the kid that he had no business assuming–not realizing that he was doing that anyway??? But you know, goths and emotions and shit: don’t really mix. Anyway, them getting together would be a huge shock to both of them, like an awkward, accidental kiss at a party or something? And it would be like “Wait, what do you mean you’re interested in me?” on Michael’s part, and then “Wait, what do you mean you’re gay?” on Pete’s side when he finally comes out to him.
I don’t always like to talk about that one in general because I don’t want people to get the wrong idea with the ace stuff–but I’ve been wanting to talk to people about it, so whatever. I’m sorry if I offend anyone! It’s literally just a headcanon of mine of how they’d have interacted with each other when they younger, I don’t mean to attribute anything about ace individuals overall towards that idea, and no I definitely don’t think that asexuality is just a “phase” or a “misinterpretation,” or whatever other bullshit people want to smack it down with. It’s just how it happens in my head in this case.
