#I think she's the KNY character I own the most stuff of

[colourstreakgryffin]

Thank you for sharing your favorite showss aww Adventure Time is so nostalgic!! Hehe I sent my ask about your favorite shows and your fave KNY characters for a reason which is a request I wanted to make!

Your headcannons of Muichiro, Obanai, Tanjiro, Gyomei, Gyutaro, Kanae, Urokodaki, Giyuu, Senjuro and Kyojuro - basically their own takes about Adventure Time and their own kinnies on the shows' characters 🤭 Thank you so much and have a great day!! ✨

Hmmm. It probably won’t be accurate at all but I’ll give it a go! This type of stuff is my favourite so thank you! I’m glad you like Adventure Time too!

@aeolia18

Tokito Muichiro

For basically the whole series, Muichiro can barely pay attention but he does laugh at a few of the jokes. He likes Princess Bubblegum and the candy people the most, since all are really cute to him

Iguro Obanai

Obanai is quite the villain man, so most of the series is mediocre to him until the Lich’s arc begins, where he is very into the narrative. He likes only the Lich as every other villain is meh to him

Kamado Tanjiro

The Kamado of righteousness loves the hero of righteousness! Tanjiro kins Finn like crazy as he admires his heroic, good nature. He likes the series overall and loves the more wholesome episodes the most

Himejima Gyomei

How is he watching this show? Gyomei, for some reason, likes Jake the most so any episode with Jake has his undivided attention and is liked a lot. He always uses and condones Jake’s wise quotes. The show overall is decent to him

Shabana Gyutaro

Gyutaro does seem like a villain man but he actually isn’t! He doesn’t really have a overall favourite character but he loves siblings, so he’d say Finn and Jake. He has seen the show a ton, due to Daki loving it. He classifies the series as “very good”

Kocho Kanae

Like Tanjiro, Kanae loves the series for it’s cute friendly adventures and her favourite character is Flame Princess since she adores characters with pure golden hearts. She also likes the candy people as they are cute and colourful

Urokodaki Sakonji

Sakonji likes the more intense/eerie episodes the most(such as No One Can Hear You and All Your Fault) as the themes are well executed but everything else is adorable to him. He surprisingly likes Marceline for her mixed dark and sweet demeanour

Tomioka Giyuu

It’s suspected that Giyuu likes the darker episodes but no; the cuter the episode is, the better it is to him so about 70% of the show is loved. His favourite is the Huntress Wizard as he relates to her demeanour

Rengoku Senjuro

Another one who adores the colourful and cheerful vibe of the series so most episodes are liked a lot. Senjuro relates a lot to BMO so he kins BMO and loves the episodes based around the little robot

Rengoku Kyojuro

Kyojuro finds the whole series incredible, he loves the characters and the scenery dearly so he watches it with Senjuro. He thinks he can’t kin one character over others, but he reacts the most to Lumpy Space Princess

God this took forever 😂 But here it is!! Gambler AU!! 🎰🎲♥️

This post will be quite long with explanations sooooooooooo but I’ll bold more important things if you just wanna scan through 😂

(WARNING!! THIS IS NOT A CHILD FRIENDLY AU!!! SO MOST POSTS WILL BE “KEEP READING” ONES!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT CONTINUE IF YOU DONT LIKE THESE TOPICS)

All of this info will be quite chaotic and unorganized so stick with me please 😅

Basically the whole ideas of the AU are all the characters are in a drinking/gambling world and the hashira are an illegal gambling group

So they all have nicknames for each other, I don’t have all of them rn, and if you have ideas LET ME KNOW PLEASSSSE

So far we have Gyomei as Big Blind, Giyuu will be Poker Face, Obanai is Snake Eyes, Mitsuri is Queen of Hearts, and Tengen is King of Queens

RELATIONSHIPS/SHIPS:

Tengen and Kaori used to be fiancé and fiancée, but Kaori found out Tengen was cheating on her (I’m thinking on their wedding day, they have it in a beach and Kaori throws her ring in the water after confronting Tengen)

Kaori and Kyojuro are flirty in front of everyone (yes they are a thing I’m this au like the normal KNY universe)

Obanai and Mitsuri are a ship here, except both Obanai and Mitsuri are playful and flirty

I might make Shinobu and Giyuu a thing here too??

Other than that, I’ll leave the other hashira up for grabs for your oc’s ;3

And yes, Muichiro is in the gang, even though he is underage

There are also a lot of outside bets aside from the games they play, bets about their personal life and stuff

Most of them do have jobs, but some also don’t

PERSONALITIES:

Shinobu: She’s pretty much the same as the anime, but not in a nice smiling way, she is very cold to everyone, but has a playful side with the gang, especially with Giyuu

Muichiro: He is very quiet still, pretty much same as anime, but is extremely good at card and dice games, he’s usually the pot most of the time though

Mitsuri: She’s a player and likes to fool around with guys, but she’s only Obanai’s and he knows that, so he’s fine with it, she loves to play card games

Obanai: He barely speaks, like in the anime, and is VERY protective over Mitsuri and even threatens people, the only person he really talks to is Mitsuri, Sanemi, and Giyuu, only the gang when they are playing a game and it is necessary, Kaburamaru watches over the games and tells Obanai is someone has cheated or anything

Giyuu: He isn’t really depressed in this au, but no one knows how he feels since he never shows any sort of emotion, but he doe get along with the gang

Kaori: She’s not a sweetheart at all, she’s very serious about her games and will not let anything pass, she’s quite aggressive sometimes and gets irritated easily (especially with Tengen), she always looks like she’s ready to kill someone

Kyōjurō: He, along with Gyomei and Tengen, make sure to keep the games fun and make sure no one kills anyone, he will be the one to hold people back physically, but he’s usually always got a smug look on his face

Sanemi: He’s still aggressive, he is also very serious about his games (Kaori and him are usually the ones to get into physical fights), he always carries a knife on him at all times, he maybe is running from the police for murder, but how would I know…? ( *) - ( *) (idk about this part yet, just an idea)

Tengen: He makes sure no one kills anyone else in the gang, but likes to bring up Kaori and his relationship, his wives, and mess with Kaori’s emotions or flirt with her because he knows it pisses her off, he enjoys to see her angry and the look that she wants to kill him in her eyes, also she tries to hurt him

Gyomei: He is blind in this au too, so he always brings his own Braille dice and stuff, but he’s still able to play just fine, he also makes sure people down fight, he is really imitating and his voice is very strict too, he has his prayer beads still as a necklace and chain, also his prayers that are on his haori are a tattoo on his arm

Phew 😮‍💨 I think that’s it for now!!

Let me know if you guys have any questions :D PLEASE

ALL OCS (AS MANY AS YOU WANT) ARE WELCOME!! PLEASE JUST POST ME AND USE MY TAG FOR THIS AU 🙏

Love you guys and hope to see some OCs 😘

[demonslayedher]

Things that went through my mind while watching this episode:

--I think this was the episode that converted a lot of people who were on the fence about Uzui, that scene with Hinatsuru is just so tender that people cannot help but feel for him. The way they animate his fingers moving as Hinatsuru talks because their resting on her chin is such a nice detail. And then we get him pumped back up by the good news that he's found one of his wives alive, and we get that skid and change in direction the roof. So good!! So cool!!

--On that note, I'm just going to jump to the end of the episode because this episode was a very flashy Uzui sandwich. I think that given that we see Makio & Suma more often interacting with each other and Hinatsuru steals the spotlight for drama gives people the impression that she's the favorite or something like that, which makes me a bit sad because I read him as loving and cherishing all of them in different but egalitarian ways. All three are his most important treasures, and unfortunately we see Makio & Suma's immature sides come out most around him, and he seems to baby them in a way different from how he treats Hinatsuru like more of an equal (even though we see in this opening scene that she still speaks like someone subservient to him--that ninja training runs deep). Makio, though, I like that we get her flashback, as it brings out a very different, contemplative, sometimes anxious side of her character which keeps her from just being the hot-blooded one or something like tat. It's not a side she can show to just anyone, but someone as mature as Hinatsuru can draw it out. Suma, though? Let her be a simple bimbo. I love her. She's my favorite. She's adorable and I never get tired of seeing her crying as she tears a kunai through the obi.

--Right! That end of the episode! Uzui's grand entrance and twirling the swords around just to show off (he and Shinobu may relate to each other more than they think), and the perfect placement of a catchphrase. Fine!! Yes!!! I like the catchphrase now!!! I hated it more than anything at the Pillar Meeting, but yes, YES, GIVE ME UZUI TENGEN-SAMA!!!!

--Back to Tanjiro!! I forgot how long this one-on-one fight with Daki took and accidentally queued up my Nezuko reblogs too early. Nezuko is still just hanging out in her box as Tanjiro turns off the Water Breath and turns on the Hinokami Kagura and flashbacks enough to the last four months to show us that he's been working at using it better--and that he's realized his limits to Water Breath. In general, I find these flashbacks to totally unbeforeseen content in the mist of battle distracted and generally not good writing advice for how it cuts into the flow of a scene, but I have also totally come to accept this as a signature piece of KnY's storytelling style. And we aren't even done yet with Tanjiro's flashbacks for this solo battle against Daki! With all these reflections, though, it's really nice to get that foreshadowing for more Haganezuka content, especially Daki's accusation that Haganezuka isn't much of a swordsmith (and he faces criticism too), and Tanjiro's insistence that it's him abusing the sword. He has always fully believed that everything that happened to his swords is his own fault for using them roughly. (And gosh, that context and comparison against someone who uses Water Breath damn near perfectly makes it all the more startleing how Akaza will later very easily break Giyuu's sword in two.) Speaking of swords, BOYS WITH SWORDS!!! BOYS PLAYING WITH SWORDS!!! Zenitsu handling his sword in a context other than the brief moments he's using Thunderclap and Flash, placing it on the ground the way you're supposed to, so unlike Inosuke who doesn't care for proper sword use whatsoever. Thank you, Ufotable!! Thank you for this filler!!

--Speaking of foreshadowing, if Tanjiro's already been maintaining fever over days at a time this whole time, this gives us lots of juicy stuff to analyze about his mark. Perhaps can interpret the damage done to the human body (and the reason all those Sengoku demon hunters died by the age of 25) as being due to the sudden increase in temperature and heart rate, but with Hinokami Kagura techniques, Tanjiro's been able to find a more sustainable way of doing it so his body is more prepared to draw on that power. I wonder, then, did he subconsciously start to do this during the Final Selection, and that's why the scar changed? Also, I believe that Tanjuro's general weakness is do to long-term sustained damage of performing Hinokami Kagura imperfectly, in a way that put stress on his body before he mastered the proper Breathing technique. Which is all to say, it makes me ponder that Tanjiro may have more years than he's assumed to, but he probably will decline in a similar way as his father.

--BUT HEY ALSO, there's imperfect knowledge and hearsay passed down from the Sengoku era about how, like, "swordsmen with black swords can't advance (because they got kicked out)" so maybe that "dead by 25" thing was a matter of looking at patterns and also counting all the guys who happened to get killed in battle? And sure, maybe enough of them dropped dead to lead to conclusions??? I'm looking for whatever hope we can for Giyuu and Sanemi, let me dig with a tiny spoon as I like.

--Anyway! We also get this beautiful, "moyase… moyase… kokoro o moyase!!!" line from Tanjiro. Yes, please.

--And all this reflection from Tanjiro about how he won't allow anyone else to go through the pain that he and other members of the Demon Slayer Corps have with losing people to the violence of demons. That's great, Tanjiro, but you're about to witness a huge failure to do so.

--Ok… so… Inosuke's scene going Homer Simpson through that tunnel is… not one of my favorites. I appreciate that he and the obi found each other mutually gross. Go ahead, keep calling her the Worm Woman, Inosuke. You're the worm, though.

--THAT MOMENT INOSUKE KICKS HIS SWORDS TO HAVE THEM BOOMERANG BACK INTO HIS HANDS, IT'S SO FLASHY, I CANNOT

--This scene down in the food cellar reminds me of the Chinese idiom, "The Eight Immortals Cross The Sea," meaning everyone shows up their individual talents and strengths. Here we've got Inosuke doing it, Makio & Suma doing it, Zenitsu doing it, and then The God of Festivities himself. So much flamboyant fun! That Zenitsu's upside-down twirl, my gosh, he's totally writing that into the Legend of Zenitsu.

--I love it when Inosuke realizes he's in over his head in battle, though. Recognizing he's in a tight spot because he can't fight the obi while also protecting the humans, and that if this isn't the actual body, then there will be no end to fighting there. It makes it so gratifying when Makio & Suma step in to help.

--Okay, but also to sandwich this post… Uzui is totally back in his proper flamboyant mode after being so happy to see Makio & Suma are alive and kicking--especially kicking butt. Relief seems to be a big part of it, but his wives truly are a source of strength and joy for him. Having reunited with all three of them, everything is once again right in his world and it's time to do the butt-kicking in his own flashy way!!

lol I just said this but I was a wee bit scared to post about OC, but this isn’t OC this is my own personal project that I like to call “Cotton Candy AU”’s.

All it is is me taking one of my favorite medias and going “Hmmm… how can I make it worse?~”, worse in the sense of how much more trauma can I give the characters?

(It started with me looking at Mori from BSD and going “now you were pastels, like big bows and fluffy stuff, consume disgusting amounts of candy and like big dogs!” And it spiraled from there-)

I’m an angst lover, so they dive into some… topics and the most developed one in currently BSD Cotton Candy, but I’ll explain with KNY CC because I think the changes are more interesting:

The main changes are that Tanjiro & Nezuko are both demons, and instead it’s their mother, Kie who goes on the adventure to fix her last two remaining kids. No telling who, but one of them dies at some point hehe. One of the reasons I picked Kie is due to the fact that she knows where the Blue Spider Lilies are (canon and confirmed), and it’s said that Tanjiro got his hard head from her side of the family, which implies that she’s strong in her own right! More people die, demon backstories are going to be darker than what they were and slayers are going to lose. A lot.

I already have little a little bit of BSD CC written, though it’s in a totally different style than that of my usual fics, but if anyone would like to know more I’m free to questions! I might post it as well because I need to share it otherwise I’m gonna pop-

I’m so fucking tired.. would anyone want to hear about my OC’s? I’m scared to post about them because I’m a people pleaser and firmly believe I’m gonna loose all my followers if I doooooo-

#someone please tell me that this is my blog I should post what I want #otherwise I’m not gonna #and I’m gonna pop from all these ideas #just combust #I sound like I’m begging that’s kinda pathetic- #damn-

[anxiousandoutdoorsy]

The best part about Sunlight Nezuko is the way she makes people want to live. Like that hope is so bright. There is the acknowledgement that times are rough, and bad things happen, but that doesn't mean your story needs to end there. That you shouldn't get to live'.

This aspect of hers hit me particularly hard during her conversation with Shinobu and how it was noted that while the latter smiled less than usual, whenever she did smile it was sincere.

And that thing about choosing the living over the dead not being a bad thing 🥺

This brings the question- what made you decide to give her this kind of personality? Was it because of that one scene in Mugen train arc- (I think?) Where Nezuko tells Tanjiro to stop apologising and instead keep fighting.

omg first of all, thank you <3

When i first started planning this fic out, I really wanted to make a clear distinction between Nezuko and Tanjirou, because even though Nezuko technically isn't human in kny, she still has a personality obviously different from her brother. So I think I started looking through the manga to instances when her cruelty, her passion, and her presence really showed through. Though that scene you mentioned was part of the reason she comes off the way she does in my writing, I think the real thing behind it was the scene where Rui has her strung up in the trees and she lights him on fire instead of being good and sitting still.

Because that scene gives me chills literally every time I watch or read it, because I look at Nezuko, and I wonder if I myself have ever wanted to live that badly. And to be honest, I don't think I have.

And even though this whole thing is fictional, something about that scene has always made me want to try. I've lived a lot of my life stuck in my own head; i've always loved reading, particularly action / adventure / fantasy stuff, and I think I have more fictional friends than real ones. And the ones I always get the most attached to are the ones that will do anything to keep themselves and the people they love alive.

So I guess the long of the short of it is Nezuko's comes off with that kind of spin in my writing because I myself have always been drawn to characters that made me want to be stronger, that made me want to live they way they do. And I guess somewhere along the way, I figured other people like me would be drawn to that too :)

Rules

Hi ☺️ I decided that before I write any requests, or fanfics in general (since I may not get any, and that's okay) I decided I should post my rules. Could you please read them before, you know, requesting or something? Thank you!💜

I will not:

Do NSFW requests. I feel uncomfortable writing that stuff and I'm still underage.

Write for real life people outside of their movie/show character. I just don't really like that sort of thing, but I won't judge you for liking it!

Write anything nonconsensual or forceful or anything like that. It, again, makes me uncomfortable.

Do any type of incest. It's disgusting end of story.

I will:

Write femxfem. I'm pansexual and absolutely don't mind any requests you have for a girl in a certain fandom.

Write fluff, angst and anything sfw. I don't think I've written any of those categories before but I do enjoy reading them. For some reason I favor angst the most lol

Do x nb reader. As I said, I go by she/they pronouns and figured out that I don't mind people using she/her pronouns on me, but I still like being addressed as they/them.

Do x male reader posts as long as it's requested.

Things to Remember:

I'm not only going to be limited to the fandoms I'll list. You can suggest some and I'll watch that series/movie or watch/play that game and do what I can!

Be specific when requesting. I can come up with my own ideas(sometimes) but I'd like to write for you too if you decided to choose me of everyone on Tumblr.

I don't like swearing a whole lot, and I'm trying not to anymore(yes I have been, I'm sorry) so you might just see the basic and not very offensive ones uncensored, and others censored.

Fandoms I write for/may write for:

Green: I plan on it

Orange: Maybe I'll write for it if it's requested or I have an idea for it.

Red: I likely won't write for it unless it's requested

Blue:I haven't finished that series yet.

[belovedmuichiro]

Honestly haven’t stopped thinking about Daki since that character bingo yesterday, like why was she shoved aside so hard when she was the primary antagonist for half the arc?? I usually give kny the benefit of the doubt with this stuff because I think the story has damn good pacing, but I feel like this could’ve been such an easy fix! My biggest problem with the way she was written is that she’s sidelined as the weaker demon in the upper six duo (which shouldn’t be possible if she’s an upper moon, they should be at equal strength), that she doesn’t get to tell her own backstory, and that she’s supposed to serve as a parallel to Nezuko like Gyutaro is to Tanjiro, but the only similarity we’re allowed to see is that they’re demons!

Daki being weaker than Gyutaro is such bullshit to me. We’re told that they’re one demonic entity, but Gyutaro is supposedly the “real” upper moon, and Muzan even says after they die that Daki was holding him back. This straight up does not make sense to me, either they’re one or they’re not. If they are separate, then Daki still shouldn’t be weaker than Gyutaro because she would’ve had to have worked her way to be on the same rank as him. If they aren’t, then they absolutely shouldn’t have different power levels, in fact it’d make more sense for them to be weaker when they’re fighting split from one another. But the logistics don’t matter to me as much as the fact that it just takes away from her character, she got brushed off and that’s extremely frustrating since she’s quite literally our only major female antagonist.

I will say that I’d give this a slight pass if the dramatic power imbalance is intentional to once again parallel Tanjiro and Nezuko, who are constantly presented as equals to one another. If it is though, I wish it could’ve been more obvious or at least observed by one of the two because as it stands, it just looks like oh the woman is weaker, which just sucks.

My other thing is that she doesn’t get to tell any of her and Gyutaro’s shared backstory. It’s not that Gyutaro didn’t tell it well, or that his story isn’t good enough to be the focus, it’s just that we don’t know how Daki feels about anything that happened before. We don’t even know why she stabbed that samurai in the story, we found out from the creator in what? Another book? I don’t really remember but I remember thinking that I would’ve liked to have seen Daki say why she did it to give her character more depth.

I feel like this is really easy fix too, just have them tell the story at the same time from different perspectives. Maybe have a scene where the people in town are calling Gyutaro ugly, and he sees it as a thing to be proud of while Daki feels the overwhelming and violent need to defend him. That way when she stabs the samurai for insulting Gyutaro, we know it was a long time coming from her, and it backs a bigger punch to know she almost died for his honor. Just little stuff like that I feel would work, have her express that she feels just as protective of him but holds back since she’s the one keeping them afloat with her beauty and toned down personality, and the samurai is her finally snapping.

And my last thing is that she’s supposed to be a parallel to Nezuko, but it really doesn’t come off that way to me, and I think this is once again because we don’t know what she’s thinking most of the time. I really do think that if we had been told that Daki attacked the samurai for Gyutaro, she’d serve as a better parallel since Nezuko does the same thing all the time. Nezuko is constantly putting herself in harms way to protect Tanjiro, she’s always there to defend him when he truly needs it. I really, really just think that Daki could’ve been a great parallel if we were allowed to see how she thinks and feels like Gyutaro.

And, once again, maybe this is all done intentionally because Tanjiro is the main character, so by that logic, Gyutaro only matters in this arc, but I do not care :) Daki is also a main villain and I think she should’ve gotten the same treatment as Gyutaro did.

#emmie speaks #demon slayer #kimestu no yaiba #daki kny #gyutaro kny #and mind you I love Gyutaro #like more than Daki #so I’m not saying this because I hate him or whatever #I just wish Daki could’ve been written better

- Oh Boui, I’m so nervous! Thank you for being here.

- I understand sis, but really, I just remember Ka’he as a very friendly person, she was always so kind with me. Teaching me about plants and stuff. And about cleaning.

- Cleaning?

- Yeah, I seem to have forgotten most of it, haven’t I? My camp is a mess. But you know, four kids ... Oh here she is! Welcome Ka’he!

- Hello Ka’he. I’m Dubi.

- Dubi...

- I’m sorry about the mess.

- Mess?  Ka’he’s eyes were filled with tears.

- Boui just told me that you are such a neat person, Dubi knew she was just babbling, but couldn’t stop herself. And the camp is a total mess. You know, after mother died things have been a bit disorganized. I hope you don’t mind too much.

- I don’t mind at all. It’s you I came to see...

They had some food, and talked about this and that, about the children and grandchildren, about herbs and plants, about hunting rabbits and the hot weather this summer. But some questions were not asked, and some things were not discussed. Until it was time for Ka’he to leave.

- I just want to know one thing, Dubi’s voice was thick. Why didn’t you take me with you? Didn’t you care about me?

- Oh, my darling one. I cared about you so much, more than my own life. That’s why I left you. Can you lift the mountain? Can you stop the rain? No, and in the same manner I couldn’t take care of you. I couldn’t take care of myself either. You have to remember, I knew them! I knew 'kny and Oyw very well. I knew they would care for you, and love you. In fact, they already did. I just had to leave to find myself again. And then later, I thought it best if you just forgot about me.

- I didn’t.

- I know. And now I can see it was a big mistake. But believe me; I never stopped thinking about you. I learned about every little step you took in life. When you lost your front teeth, when you caught your first fish, when you started to bleed, when you met Koryi, when you had the twins. I knew everything!

- But how?!

- Shanga Baba told me. I’m convinced that ‘kny told her every little detail, knowing that I would learn about it. And I love her for that. And for taking so incredibly good care of you.

- I miss her so much!

- So do I, darling. So do I.

Jurassic World! AUPairing: Son of Park CEO!Tsukishima Kei x Mosasaur Trainer!Reader

- Genres: Fluff, angst

- CW: Mentions of death, objectification of main character, sexual harassment-

Mango’s Introduction: Tsukishima the younger is a bit… prickly. Don’t say that to his face, obviously, because he’s technically your boss, but for all his personality flaws, he’s definitely excellent at his job and he cares more about the people around him than he lets on. He’s snarky with that mosasaur trainer more than anyone else, but you can tell he’s sweet on her. I guess you could call it the adult equivalent of pulling a girl’s pigtails on the playground. Uh, don’t tell him I said that, he’s my boss too.

(A/N: For all of you who were interested in this series, y'all waited nearly a year for less than 10,000 words, and I apologize, haha. It's been sitting 95% finished all that time, but I moved onto some other projects because I wasn't confident in my writing abilities. After a year's worth of writing exercises via different projects, I'm now okay with putting this out for all of you. I hope my next few projects (AoT and KnY) knock your socks off, but for now, here's a little journey about following your own convictions, featuring our favorite salty blonde.)

Tsukishima had it all. Money, looks, brains, and sure, his personality could use a little work, but he wasn’t completely insufferable. Most of the time. But if you asked him, his sour attitude was hardly his fault. After all, he was the heir to a multi-trillion dollar theme park, so it’s not like there were any consequences for him talking to people the way he does. For all he cared, he could be as snarky as he liked, considering he didn’t work with many people that were willing to speak their mind to him.

“Bite me, Tsukki.”

Well, except for a certain mosasaur trainer that was really grating on his nerves. Said trainer sat across from him from her seat in his office, arms crossed and jaw tense. Tsukishima tapped his fingers on his desk.

“Are you done throwing a tantrum like a six-year-old?” he asked. (Y/N)’s hands balled in her lap. She kept her mouth shut, glowering at the desk in front of her to keep her temper under wraps.

The blonde rolled his eyes. About fifteen minutes ago, he watched her kick in the door to the employee lounge and make her way over to the mosasaur staff supervisor. All eyes were on her as she moved towards him with murderous intent rolling off of her in waves. While (Y/N) was the one with the most control over the aquatic dinosaur itself, the supervisor was the one who hired staff, had them trained, made their schedules, and completed the other overall administrative duties. Their position was a catch-all and they were meant to do the primary inspections that made the mosasaur shows run properly.

Company policy encouraged open communication between colleagues, of course. Jurassic World Theme Park prided itself on proficient employee cooperation, as per the employee handbook and what the marketing team insists they say. Tsukishima just wished (Y/N) had opened her statement with something a smidge more polite than, “Are there any grooves in your fucking brain or is it all just smooth in there?”

After that hell of a conversation starter, she and the supervisor verbally ripped into each other. If Kei hadn’t grabbed (Y/N) by the windbreaker and dragged her into his office, he wouldn’t have been surprised if they ended up ripping into each other physically, too. To her credit, (Y/N) most definitely won, but that would have been a bigger pain in his ass.

“(Y/N), you can’t speak like that to people you work with. I heard what you said about him keeping an eye on his interns, and that’s his business, not yours,” he sighed. It was too early for this crap, especially since his assistant called in sick and hadn’t made him his morning coffee, and there were a million things to do in preparation for the board meeting today. He had better things to do than settle this stupid argument.

(Y/N) looked at him with disbelief, “You think I went in there to yell at him for fun? You have no idea what happened, Kei, how are you already taking his side?”

Tsukishima looked into her fiery gaze for a moment. He leaned back, brushing down the front of his navy blue button-down.

“You know that’s not what I meant.”

“But it’s what you said,” she shot back.

He pursed his lips. “Alright, I’m sorry,” he muttered.

(Y/N)’s mouth dropped for a moment, then the corner quirked up ever-so-slightly, “What was that, Tsukki?”

“Just explain before I lose my patience,” he snapped. His ears felt hot.

She laughed, “Because you’re the picture of patience right now.”

“(Y/N).”

Although the anger in her posture returned, she was able to remain more composed than she had earlier.

“One of the interns came up to me about an hour ago to ask me about the coding for the hydraulic lift.” (Y/N) threw her hands up and leaned back in her chair, as if that was the answer to everything.

“I’ll need some more details than that.”

She groaned in frustration, “There’s the mosasaur tank and the stadium

surrounding it, yeah? And partway through the show, the hydraulic lift lowers the stadium to the underground viewing area, right? Well, for all that to happen, the codes on the control panel have to be specific,” her hands moved fervently as she got deeper into her explanation. “The codes never change, but every morning, the supervisor makes sure they’re correct and I double check before the show. If the codes are incorrect, the stadium might lift too fast, too slow, too much, or not at all.”

Kei nodded for her to continue, to which she gave a grateful nod before going back into rant mode.

“Interns don’t have clearance into that area. He gave her his fucking badge so she could go in and do the checks without him. She shouldn’t have been down there and she definitely shouldn’t have been checking the control panel. Look,” she ran a hand through her hair, “I don’t want to tell the guy how to do his job. If he wants to train the interns how to run the control panel, then fine, it’s not in my job description to police that. But that brand-new, inexperienced, fresh-out-of-college kid was all by herself down there doing that idiot’s job. She could have gotten hurt. She could have gotten other people hurt. It was her supervisor’s job to train her better and to take better care of his interns and if I don’t raise hell about this kind of stuff now, then who will? So fuck that guy, he deserved to get yelled at.”

(Y/N) heaved herself out of her chair, “And now that everyone thinks I’m a raving lunatic, I’m going back to my office to change. Try not to need me.”

~~

As the son of the owner of Jurassic World Theme Park, Tsukishima Kei was raised to do two things: work with dinosaurs and obey his father. When he was younger, he thought he would get to work with the dinosaurs as a trainer, regulate their feeding schedules, train them, and educate the masses about the wonders of science. But he was wrong. The future his father had in store for him involved dinosaurs, yes, but more along the lines of determining the cost of developing a new dinosaur or what characteristics are interesting to the general public so that the park can turn a profit.

Several years ago, when his father originally had her brought to the island, Kei had been skeptical. Out of all the candidates for the mosasaur trainer, (Y/N) had been particularly young, but for some reason, his father was insistent that the new mosasaur trainer be her. (Y/N) later proved and continued to prove that she wasn’t just qualified, but born to work with the mosasaur, Dolly, she called her. She cared for her with a deep passion that transcended interspecies boundaries.

(Y/N) was amazing at her job, and it was unfair of Tsukishima not to hear her out initially. There was a fine line between teasing as a result of mutual pining and just being a dick, and it seemed like Kei had crossed that line.

(Y/N) knew he was coming. That was one of the things she really appreciated about Tsukishima. He was a snarky asshole who liked to rile her up, and in the beginning, he was garbage at apologies, but over time, they’d apologized to each other so often that he no longer dragged ass over it. Once he realized he was in the wrong, he would find her immediately.

Tsukishima let himself into (Y/N)’s office, where he found her and the raptor trainer in deep conversation.

“Kei! Seriously, I could’ve been changing!” she yelled. She’d told him a million times to knock before coming in, but he rarely listened.

“Don’t worry, even if you were, there’s nothing to see,” he said teasingly.

(Y/N) scowled, “You wouldn’t know.”

Tsukishima scoffed.

“Anyway, Hajime, what else did that guy say?” (Y/N) said.

Kei frowned at the two cups from Tiki Smoothie in front of them. He wondered if Iwaizumi had brought her one as a surprise or if she’d asked him to bring her one. Both possibilities put him in a bad mood. Supposedly, they were just close friends, but (Y/N) forced him to watch enough Hallmark movies for him to know the friends-to-lovers trope quite well. It ranked just below childhood friends-to-lovers and just above enemies-to-lovers. He must have been staring at those cups for some time, because by the time he zoned back in, Iwaizumi had already finished his explanation.

“--train the raptors for the battlefield,” Iwaizumi finished.

(Y/N) raised an irritated brow, “Like dogs?”

The raptor trainer shrugged, “Apparently.”

“Did you tell him that’s not how raptors work?” she asked.

“I didn’t bother. He-- Sorry,” Iwaizumi fished his ringing flip phone from his vest pocket. “I gotta go, (Y/N), I’ll tell you more at dinner later,” he said on his way out the door.

“Okay, but I wanna hear about your thing with that pretty P.O. Manager later!”

The taller man stopped and gripped the door frame in surprise.

“Wha-- There’s no ‘thing’!” Iwaizumi sputtered.

“Whatever keeps your blood pressure normal."

As (Y/N) waved her friend off, Tsukishima rested his weight on the back of the vacated chair.

“What was that all about?”

(Y/N) sighed, making her way over to the wardrobe next to the door.

“Some military guy had a talk with Hajime about using the raptors for war. He said they’re better than drones because they’re not hackable and blah blah blah.”

“Does he realize that-- what are you doing?!” Tsukishima choked when (Y/N) dropped her loose gym shorts. Underneath, she wore plain navy blue bikini bottoms.

“Relax, Kei, you’re the one who invited yourself into my office. Besides, it’s not like you haven’t seen a girl’s bare legs, right?” she teased as she stepped into her dive skin. The tall young man moved to sit behind the desk. Forcing down his blush, he took on a snarky tone once again.

“Obviously. I didn’t think you had time for that kind of thing, since you’ve been cooped up with Darby for the last few years.”

(Y/N) shook her wetsuit at him, “Her name is Dolly! It’s always been Dolly and you know it, you little shit!”

“Language, (Y/N),” he smirked. What would my father say if he knew you spoke to me like that?”

“Oh, trust me, Malfoy, your father knows exactly how I speak to you, and he couldn't care less,” she snarked, looking pleased with herself..

The teasing glint in Tsukishima’s eyes wavered at the comment, though he knew they shouldn’t have. ‘Don’t dish it if you can’t take it’ he always said. He knew his father loved him the way any man loves his son, but Kei’s rank in his father’s heart in relation to money had always been questionable.

“Sorry. Too much,” (Y/N) said quietly. She pulled up her dive skin and removed her windbreaker, revealing a matching bikini top.

“It’s not your fault,” the blonde mumbled back. (Y/N) made her way around the desk. Leaning her weight on the edge facing him, she said, “Really, I’m sorry. That was in bad taste.”

Tsukishima waved dismissively, “It’s fine, you didn’t mean it. Just caught me off guard… Actually, I came to apologize to you for earlier.”

She grimaced, “I’m sorry for freaking out so hard. I didn’t mean to make trouble for you the same day as a shareholders’ meeting.”

“You’d be okay with making trouble for me normally?”

“That a serious question?”

With a light chuckle he said, “Right, right. It’s fine... I’m sorry for not

hearing you out. For what it’s worth, that guy is as good as fired.”

“Fired!?” she yelped, making him jump. “Wait, you can’t fire him!”

“Actually, I can--”

“Fine. As his boss, you legally could fire him, but I’m saying don’t. One, we can easily get him to clean up his act. Two, his wife is preggers. Gregnant. Pregante.”

“I got it the first time.”

“Just making sure.”

Tsukishima huffed, holding back a smile, “Worrying about someone whose head you were about to bite off two hours ago. That’s just like you.”

There was a gentle knock at the door and Yamaguchi, a paleo-veterinary intern, poked his head through the doorway.

“(Y/N), are you ready for the show? We have 20 minutes until start time,” he informed her with a sweet smile.

“Yup!” She stuffed her arms through the tight neoprene sleeves, “Are you the specialist on standby this time, Yama?”

The shorter girl turned around and moved her hair to the side in a silent request. Standing to his full height, Tsukishima pinched the sides of her zipper with one hand and pulled the tab up with.

Yamaguchi couldn’t help but laugh. His two friends stopped, (Y/N) with her hands holding up her hair, Tsukishima with his hands tugging on her suit zipper.

“What’s so funny?” his childhood friend asked. Yamaguchi just shook his head and confirmed that, yes, he would be on medical standby for the upcoming show.

“Close the door when you leave, okay, Tsukki?” (Y/N) shot over her shoulder on the way out.

“Good luck with your show,” he said simply. She frowned in confusion. Before she could comment, Yamaguchi rushed her out the door.

~~

“--near the surface of the water, where it preyed on anything it could sink its teeth into, including turtles, small fish, even smaller mosasaurs, but don’t worry, that’s not why Dolly here doesn’t have any siblings.”

The crowd chuckled. Tsukishima always enjoyed when (Y/N) did the demonstrations herself. The guides did the jobs they were contracted to do, and maybe it was that he already knew how much she loved Dolly, but whenever (Y/N) did it, it always felt less like a show and more like the introduction of a close friend of hers. That was the truth, after all.

“You see, when Dolly was born, I was the first thing she saw. This caused something called imprinting, and if I just made you think about that freaky Twilight baby, I’m so sorry.”

Another wave of laughter rippled through the crowd. “And what that means is, Dolly and I share a special bond. She feels a special connection to me that she doesn’t feel for any other creature on this planet. When she was growing up, we communicated with this,” she held up a silver whistle.

“You can’t hear these sounds, but Dolly can. She knows the sound of the whistle, and that makes her think, ‘Oh, that’s my handler! Yay, she’s gonna feed me!’ Which is something I thought whenever my mom called my name during my teenage years.”

“She’s entertaining, isn’t she?” one of his father’s associates commented. Rather than sitting in the wide open arena seats under the beating sun, Kei’s father, the elder Tsukishima, sat up in an air-conditioned glass box high above the regular seats. Today, a group of shareholders and potential investors were performing their monthly assessment of the park’s assets. After going to every single one of these meetings since he was twelve, Tsukishima was more or less used to these meetings, but he was getting irked by the way a particularly sweaty, sleazy-looking businessman two and a half times his age was staring not at the tank itself, but at the trainer on the platform above it. If it weren’t for his father, he would have nastily told all of them to never take even a single breath in her direction.

“The girl’s gotten real grown up since we first saw her,” the man said, rubbing his chin.

‘Don’t look at her like that,’ Kei growled internally.

“Good eye, Yamada-san. She just turned twenty-one,” his father replied.

‘But that doesn’t concern you,’ Kei thought.

“Really? She looks young, but she seems so mature for her age,” another dirty businessman observed.

“You always did like the young-looking ones, you creepy old man!” laughed Yamada. Tsukishima bit down on his tongue so hard he had to remind himself not to bite it off.

“Ah, yes, I took her age into account from the get-go,” Tsukishima-san said. “By nature, the mosasaurus would only accept one trainer, and I brought her to the island at such a young and impressionable age that she would only listen to me.”

“And then you have a safe way to control the dinosaur,” one of the shareholders concluded.

“Exactly. And you’re right, Yamada-san, she’s grown up to be quite attractive. Shame she ended up so strong-willed, else she might have made a quality match for my son. Perhaps if Kei here can reel her in, he’ll make a wife out of her yet, right, son?”

The younger Tsukishima’s skin crawled as every pair of eyes in the room landed on him. He could just imagine opening his mouth and ripping them all a new one. What would Yamada say if he called him out on his predatory behavior? Or he could say, ‘Ah, Mr. Kawasaki, how’s that custody battle with your wife going? I hear she’s winning because the kids would rather live with her. Oh, Chairman Yang, I didn’t see you there! Have you beaten that nasty gambling addiction of yours? Goodness, from the looks of those eye bags and how badly your ‘designer’ suit is frayed, my guess is no.”

But Kei can’t say any of those things. He has too much to lose, should he compromise his position as his father’s heir and future CEO. The blonde glanced briefly out the window at the smiling girl talking animatedly about her most treasured friend. He mentally sends her an apology for being unable to defend her yet again.

Kei grit his teeth and finally replies.

“Yes, father.”

If he were born as anyone else, he could romance her properly, instead of passing glances, not-so-subtle flirting, and raging sexual tension. They wouldn’t have had to play the whole ‘will we or won’t we?’ schtick. But he was still Tsukishima Kei. He was destined to take over his father’s company, and by design, his partner would have to attend board meetings and brunches and wine and cheese parties. Kei had no desire to drag (Y/N) into that kind of life, but what’s more, (Y/N) would never agree to it. At one time, he considered asking her about it. Ask her to consider making that sacrifice for him. But at the end of the day, he never did bring it up to her because he was scared of the answer he’d receive.

Her enthusiastic voice faded back into his consciousness, “Enough of me talking. Is everyone ready to meet Dolly?”

They all turned back to the window at the sound of (Y/N)’s voice.

The crowd cheered in affirmation.

“What was that? I can’t hear you?”

The cheers transitioned into a deafening roar.

“Alright, for those of you in the splash zone, expect to get soaked in about ten seconds and counting.”

(Y/N) pressed a button, and the feeder crane slowly moved to dangle a heavy shark over the mosasaurus tank. The trainer leaned against her platform’s railing. She put the whistle to her lips, but no one heard any sound.

“You hungry, girl?” she asked the tank. There was no prior indication of any movement before the leviathan reptilian dinosaur leapt out of the water and easily snatched up its prey with its rows of hundreds of teeth. Its great mass seemed to linger midair for what felt like forever before sliding back into the water with a giant splash that had the crowd squealing with delight.

“Hold on tight,” (Y/N) spoke up as the stands started lowering under the stadium, “We’re gonna get to take a little closer look at our girl, Dolly the Mosasaurus.”

~~

“How was your meeting?” (Y/N) asked upon her arrival in Tsukishima’s own office, finally free of her restricting wetsuit and hair still wet from her shower. Not looking up from his paperwork, the blonde grunted, “Fine.”

(Y/N) smiled and sat on the edge of the desk beside him. Both hands came up to zip her windbreaker.

“That bad, huh?”

“You sit in a glass box for 45 minutes with a group of men over fifty, and tell me you had fun,” he grumbled. Giving him a sympathetic look, she slid off the desk to place her hands on his shoulders. She gently massaged the tension from them. Lately, Tsukishima Senior had been giving his son more responsibility to “prepare him to take over the company,” which would have been a more believable excuse if the older man wasn’t relaxing by the pool and golfing with his friends 4 days a week. Kei leaned into her touch.

‘You are nothing like your father, though, Kei,’ she internally mused. Dragging her hands down from his shoulders to clasp in front of him, she hugged him from behind. Soothed by her presence, he wondered if he even needed to tell her how he felt about her. It seemed like she already suspected. Though, if she already knew and wasn’t saying anything, what exactly were her feelings on the matter?

“Today was so tiring, Tsukki,” she rested her chin on top of his blonde head. “This family was asking me questions, but their two irritating ass kids kept climbing on the primary railings, and the mom got mad at me when I told them to knock it off! Like, do you want your kids to get chomped by a genetically engineered dinosaur, Brenda? Then, she asked for my manager, and I’m like, ‘Bitch, I will literally throw you in the damn tank! There, that’s my manager, you entitled piece of-- ughhh!!” (Y/N) buried her face in Tsukishima’s shoulder in frustration. “I hate customer service! Fuck her! Fuck them kids!”

“You said that to her?” he teased. Secretly, he was happy that she was tired today. A Tired (Y/N) meant a Sweet (Y/N), and after those creeps were leering at her in the box today, he was just glad she was somewhere he could keep an eye on her.

“Suck my dick, Kei, you know I wouldn’t actually say that. I still enjoy getting paychecks,” her words were muffled by his shoulder. ‘Sweet’ is a relative term for her.

“I’d pay good money to see you cuss someone out.”

“You would, wouldn’t you,” she replied.

Tsukishima desperately wanted to tell her how he felt. It was getting really irritating that they could do stuff like this, but he couldn’t tell those sweaty old men in the box today to keep their perverted stares off of her.

Tentatively, he turned his head towards her, lips ghosting along her jawline. His heart sped up as her fingers tightened into his dress shirt.

When his arm slid around her waist, she was like putty in his hands.

“You-- You’re kinda giving me mixed signals here, Kei,” she said breathlessly. The taller male placed his forehead against hers. His eyes stared down at her lips as he debated the long-term consequences of giving into his desires.

“I know,” he murmured. “I’m sorry.”

(Y/N) brought her hand up to cup his face. They both leaned in slowly, as if moving any faster would ruin the tension.

“Don’t be…” she whispered.

The office door slammed open with a bang.

“Sir?” (Y/N) jumped back from him like she’d been burned.

“What?” he snapped at the intruder.

“Your father wants you and Miss (L/N) in a meeting right away.”

~~

“Tsukishima-san, I don’t see why--”

“Of course you don’t, (Y/N),” Kei’s father cut her off, “You have a personal connection with the animal. That was the one oversight I made when I brought you to the island as a trainer.”

They sat in a boardroom, surrounding a large table with Tsukishima senior at one end, (Y/N) at the other, and the board members on either side. The blazing sunlight of Isla Nublar that shone in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the far side of the room contrasted heavily with the dark tension permeating throughout the room. Kei tapped his fingers against the table from his spot on his father’s right side.

Of all the ‘strategic investments’ his father made, this was definitely not one Kei could have predicted.

The girl took a deep breath, “With all due respect, sir, it can’t be a good idea to reinvent a new species of mosasaur. I think--”

“See, that’s the problem, sweetheart,” the sweaty man from before chimed in. “You’re not here to think, you’re here to look pretty, and to tell the dinosaur what to do.”

“I don’t appreciate your tone, Yamada.”

“I don’t appreciate your attitude, little girl,” he shot back.

Tsukishima Senior cut in, “Try to understand, (Y/N). The Indominus Rex has been a huge hit. The numbers say that these new hybrid dinosaurs are the next big thing. We can’t pass up an astronomical amount of money just so you can keep your pet.”

“My pet?” (Y/N) spat.

“Now, (Y/N), there’s no need to get hysterical.”

“Hysterical? My reaction is perfectly reasonable considering you want to euthanize the creature I’ve raised since birth, which, may I remind you, is something you people wanted me to do.”

“Doctor Wu and the rest of the genetics team is already engineering the genetics for a new mosasaur. Bigger, more teeth--”

“But they couldn’t engineer any more brain cells for all of you?!” she interjected.

“That’s enough!” CEO Tsukishima slammed his hand on the meeting table. “You’re like a daughter to me, (Y/N), but I won’t take this level of disrespect from you.”

(Y/N) rested her hands atop the table and leaned in, meeting his glare head-on.

“If you want to do anything to Dolly, you’ll need my help, and I will not do anything that can compromise her.”

“What a mouthy little thing,” one of the shareholders muttered.

“Give her to me, I’ll shut her up,” another said loudly enough for everyone to hear.

Tsukishima took a deep, stabilizing breath from beside his father.

“I chose you because I saw something in you. I never expected you to be this selfish,” the elder snapped, “You’re being unreasonable. Kei is barely older than you, and he understands that there’s profit to be made by replacing the damn dinosaur. Tell her, Kei.”

The room went silent. (Y/N) stared deeply into her friend’s golden brown eyes.

‘Don’t do this, Kei. They want you to become your father, but you are not your father. You are so much more.’

The younger Tsukishima felt like he was being crushed by an incredible weight. Whatever he did now, it would be nearly impossible to take back. If he chose her, his father may never forgive him. The problem was: If he chose his place as his father’s heir, would he ruin his relationship with (Y/N) forever? Which one of them could he live without? He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them. His steady gaze met with (Y/N)’s intense stare. He hoped he sounded more sure than he felt.

“Yes, (Y/N). My father’s right.”

(Y/N) first looked surprised, then immensely disappointed. Realizing there was no one on her side, she sighed.

“I came to this island because I thought this company might be different. When you asked me to train the mosasaurus from birth, I was overjoyed at how much you cared for her development,” she made sure to stare into the soul of each and every dirty scoundrel in the room. “But I made a mistake, too. All of you are cowards. Selfish, soulless, money-grubbing cowards.” Blazing eyes finally landed on Kei’s wide golden brown ones. She aimed her final statement at him.

“Every last one of you.”

Kei’s heart squeezed so hard he thought his chest would collapse.

“Tsukishima-san!” a mousey-looking secretary burst into the boardroom. CEO Tsukishima clicked his tongue in annoyance.

“What is it now?” he snapped.

“It’s the Indominus! She’s escaped!”

Deafening alarms and flashing red lights resounded throughout the control room. Kei could barely hear his father barking orders to the security team. One of the technicians pulled up a giant map of the park on the main screen.

“She’s still on the outer edges of the park, but she’s moving fast, sir,” they said.

“Have the Asset Containment Unit get this thing under control. Make sure they use non-lethals.”

“Non-lethals!” (Y/N) yelled, outraged.

“We have 26 million dollars invested in that asset,” the elder Tsukishima growled.

Exasperated, (Y/N) threw her hands in the air. She avoided Kei’s eyes as she

turned and sprinted out of the control room.

Kei hesitated. Before he could chase after her, his father ordered him to stay put to help in the control room. Though it made him feel like he wanted to vomit, he obeyed.

Several hours passed and Tsukishima’s mind felt like it was at its breaking point. The monitors flashing red in the dimly lit control room strained his eyes to the point where he was convinced he’d need a stronger prescription after this. The beeping of the ACU team’s EKG monitors flatlining rang in his ears so loud he wished he would just go deaf. The Indominus was picking off their security team with ease, sometimes several members at a time. The young man rubbed at his temples.

“Tsukishima, we’re evacuating the rides on the outer edges at the park,” the lead Park Operations Assistant slid a map over to him. Taking a red marker, she circled a few attractions directly in the escaped dinosaur’s projected path.

“But I think these preparations insufficient,” she said, nervously twisting

the pen in her grip.

“We’d evacuate the whole park if it were up to me,” Tsukishima said under

his breath.

The assistant pursed her lips, “It��s a shame we’ll definitely be shut down

after this. You would have made a great CEO.”

“Are you flirting with me?” the blonde joked.

“Please, you’re so whipped for (Y/N) it hurts to look at you,” the assistant snorted in reply.

Before Tsukishima could make a snarky retort, both of their attentions were drawn to CEO Tsukishima, who had a large, middle aged man at his side.

“Kei, come over here!” the older man called.

Tsukishima handed the map back over to the assistant, “This is fine for now. If the situation escalates or if it doesn’t improve in an hour or so, close all the attractions on the west side of the park. I’ll be right back.”

The assistant grabbed his arm, “Tsukishima, that’s Vic Hoskins, the head of the private security force.”

“My father introduced us not long ago. What about him?”

“Commander Hoskins isn’t just a brute, he’s an ignorant one, and that makes him dangerous. If your father is listening to him, be careful.”

Tsukishima nodded gratefully.

“I will. I’ll be right back.”

He didn’t wait for the assistant’s reply before making his way to his father’s side, who pulled him off to the side. Hoskins had apparently taken his leave.

“The helicopter will be here in 10 minutes, make sure you’re at the helipad by then,” he told his son.

The younger Tsukishima’s eyes widened.

“What? Where are we going?” he asked.

His father turned to him, “Commander Hoskins has strongly advised us to get off the island. We can do our part in containing this crisis remotely.”

The younger man blanched, “We’re just going to leave? We still have people to evacuate, not to mention medical teams to coordinate, personnel to--”

CEO Tsukishima placed a hand on his son’s shoulder, “We can do all of these things remotely. Our first priority is maintaining our safety, and besides, the situation is in good hands with our employees here. It’s as good as contained.”

The CEO smiled and turned to leave. Kei didn’t move.

“Come on, Kei,” the older man urged.

Tsukishima took a deep breath.

“If the situation is ‘as good as contained,’ then why are we leaving the island?” he asked.

His father sighed, “I understand your concern, Kei, this is a safety issue--”

“So, you agree? You do think that evacuation is the correct safety measure?” Kei looked his father directly in his familiar amber eyes.

The elder shifted, “What are you implying, Kei?”

“I’m saying as long as we choose not to actively evacuate the island, we have a responsibility to our employees and to our guests to stay and control the situation the best we can.”

The flatlining EKG monitors were still ringing in his ears. If he left the island now, he’d never stop hearing the beeping of those monitors. They’d exist in his nightmares forever.

“Stay here, then, Kei,” his father’s voice broke him out of his thoughts.

He raised a brow, “Just me?”

“There’s no point to being in power if you refuse to reap the benefits of it. The helicopter is leaving soon. Join me, Kei. Don’t try to play hero when you’re not.”

(Y/N)’s face flashed in his mind. He couldn’t be sure where she ran off to after she left, but if he had to guess, it would have been to the main hall or to the infirmary to care for guests. Either way, she’d never dream of leaving the island with so much at stake. Neither could he, and the thought of leaving her behind made his answer clear.

“No, I’m not going. Have a safe flight.” He turned on his heel and marched back to the central console. To his horror, Asset Containment Unit Alpha had been almost entirely wiped out. Only 4 members of a 12-person team remained.

“They’re not gonna make it, Tsukishima, we need to tell them to pull back,” the P.O. Assistant insisted.

He nodded, “Do it.”

The woman quickly gave the order. “Has your father finally--”

“My father is vacating the island with the board members and other investors as we speak,” Tsukishima said.

“Why am I not--” the assistant’s phone went off. “Hello? ...You what?”

“What happened?”

She snapped her phone shut, “It’s--it’s Takeru, my nephew. He was visiting the park today, but my assistant says he got separated from her, and-- and--”

“Hey,” he grabbed her shoulders. “Don’t freak out. It’s not like you, and it won’t help.”

“You’re right,” she said shakily, brushing a lock of hair from her eyes. “I know I have work to do here, but I have to go find him, Tsukishima. I can’t--”

“I get it. Just go.”

The assistant nodded gratefully, sprinting out of the board room. As she

left, yet another assistant came for his attention and he was plunged back into the thick of things.

Meanwhile, (Y/N) stood at the doors of the underground lab. Her eyes were wild and her face flushed from exertion. The pristine, white lab was a stark contrast to the sweaty, panicked mob she passed by on her way here. It was as if the panic of the Indominus’s escape had no effect, save for the swarm of people in lab coats quickly packing up their equipment into thick armored suitcases. With the move in full swing, the lab doors were set wide open. In the chaos, she managed to slip into one of the adjoining storage rooms, where she found a large computer monitor. The bright blue screen was blinding in the dimly lit room. A profile displayed on the screen read “Indominus Rex.”

The young woman scrolled down the profile. She had to find out what the dinosaur was made of. The ACU would never survive without that information. They may not even survive with it. Finally, under the section titled “Genetic Makeup”, she found what she’s looking for. Before she could react to her findings, there was a sharp pain in the skill and she dropped to the ground unconscious.

Back in the control room, Kei gripped his cell phone tightly. Eighteen missed calls and (Y/N) still wouldn’t pick up. He couldn’t fight it anymore. He had a tech trace her cellphone and he hastily exited the room.

Once he left the building, Kei was greeted with what he expected hell looked like. There was a swarm of panicked park guests, sweaty and fearful. Several were injured from the sudden panic. Some had a haunted look in their eye that suggested they’d seen something that would haunt their nightmares for years to come. And where was his father? Safe on a helicopter, leaving all these people to fend for themselves simply because he could.

Kei was disgusted with himself. The Indominus had escaped hours ago. All this chaos could have been avoided by simply evacuating the park. But who cared about people’s lives when there was still profit to be made? Sure, he hadn’t actively supported his father’s selfishness, but he definitely didn’t object to it either. In all his indecision, ultimately, he was siding with his father. He was equally to blame for all this.

As Kei entered the underground tunnels, the screaming and cries of the panicked went silent. He realized he could hide away in the tunnels until the situation had blown over. Instead, Kei chose to press forward, knowing it wasn’t fair that he had that luxury.

The Mosasaur Stadium sat in the middle of the underground tunnels. From his view from the glass, Dolly, like her trainer, was nowhere to be found.

By the time Kei made it to the lab, it had been picked clean of equipment and personnel. All that remained were sterilized lab benches and pristine white walls. He found (Y/N) on the floor of an empty storage room. There was a nasty gash in the back of her head.

Kei kneeled and gently put two fingers to her pulse.

“Wake up!” he snapped at her. To his relief, her eyelids fluttered open. “Thank god. What the hell were you doing down here?”

“Ouch, my head,” she moaned. “I thought… the ACU… If they knew what the Indominus was made of…”

Kei nodded in understanding. He removed his tie to apply pressure to her wound.

“And? What is it?”

(Y/N) shook her head.

“I dunno. I think they hit me right as I saw.”

(Y/N) sat up, slowly regaining her strength.

“How much of the park has been evacuated?” she asked.

Kei checked his messages, “Almost everyone has been moved to secure locations or off the island completely.”

“What’s left?”

“The control room.”

She looked at him meaningfully and he nodded in agreement. Quickly dialing a number, he raised the phone to his ear.

“Evacuate the control room,” he said.

“Sir, are you sure?” the voice on the other end replied.

“Positive. I’ll take care of everything when I get there,” Kei reassured.

“...take care, sir,” the voice said reluctantly.

“You too.” Tsukishima ended the call and looked at (Y/N), who was already standing. She steadied herself against a wall, her balance wavered slightly, but her eyes were resolute.

“Let’s see what we can do.”

The underground tunnels were expansive. As the mosasaur trainer stalked down the hall ahead of him, Kei forced himself to speak up.

“I couldn’t, you know,” Tsukishima said.

“If you have to talk to me, say shit that makes sense,” (Y/N) snapped.

“My father. He wanted me to evacuate with him, but--”

“What? You could’ve gotten out of here! Do you have any idea how hard shit’s hit the fan?”

“I needed to know you were okay.”

(Y/N)’s expression softened for just a moment, then she ripped her gaze from his face. She retorted, “Why? You don’t seem to have a problem with hanging me out to dry.”

“(Y/N), I was--”

“Would you have left if not for me?” she demanded, stopping and facing him with her arms crossed.

It took Kei a minute to find an honest answer.

“No. I wouldn’t have. I’m rich, I’m an asshole, but I wouldn’t have left all these people. Not when I have the kind of clearance to help them, and especially not since all this is my fault.”

(Y/N) looked at him, bewildered.

“Your fault? How on Earth is this your fault?”

Kei shrugged, “I knew evacuation was the only safe bet, but I was too much of a coward to tell my father so. At least my father is blinded by money. Me, I don’t have an excuse.”

(Y/N) walked on silently for a while, opening her mouth a few times to speak, but shutting it each time. Eventually, she gave into the silence.

They came to the underground stadium, where the massive fiberglass panes housed the park’s biggest attraction.

(Y/N) placed her hand on the glass.

“Dolly… You okay, girl?”

Something enormous splashed into the water. When the bubbles cleared, there was Dolly, swimming around the bitten carcass of a pterosaur, as if she was celebrating her catch. The reptile’s handler smiled weakly.

“Good girl.”

“(Y/N).”

Tsukishima took her by the shoulders and spun her around to face him. His tired eyes met hers. The blonde watched as the only person who really mattered to him glared back with a look of sadness, frustration, and betrayal.

“You would have supported them?” she asked sharply.”

“Look, I’ve been trained to follow orders my whole life--”

“And I’m sorry for that. But you can unlearn what you’ve been taught, Kei. You know how much I love Dolly! You knew, and-- and,” she gripped his shirt. The trainer hung her head in defeat.

“I thought you weren’t like your father.”

“I’m not, I promise. I’m sorry,” he whispered. This was it. He had to tell her. If he didn’t do it now, he never would.

“(Y/N), I lo--”

“No!”

Kei looked stunned, “No?”

“No! Dammit, Kei, I can’t do this with you right now. First, this is not the time. Second, you stabbed me in the back, like, two hours ago!

“I said I was sorry!”

“I get that, Kei, but for important shit like this, sorry just isn’t good enough, okay? Now, let’s get to the control room and get this dinosaur under wraps, then maybe we can have this conversation.”

Tsukishima pursed his lips, “Okay. Okay, I’m sorry for bringing it up.”

(Y/N) kept walking down the corridor, “Don’t be. Let’s just deal with the situation at hand.” The trainer produced a flip phone from her pocket. The person she was calling picked up on the third ring and she put the call on speaker.

“(Y/N)!” the familiar voice called in relief.

“Yama! You’re still doing okay?” she asked. The line went quiet for a while,

“Yams?” Another pause before the intern responded, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

She and Tsukishima looked at each other, “Yama, what happened? Are you hurt?”

“No, I’m not hurt, I just… Oh god, (Y/N), it’s Hinata,” Yamaguchi’s voice

cracked at the end.

(Y/N)’s breath caught in her throat, “What happened to Hinata?”

On the other end, she could hear Yamaguchi choking back a sob.

“He went to the aviary to check for survivors and I saw his vitals monitor. He’s flatlined, (Y/N), he’s dead.”

Tsukishima closed his eyes. The whole situation was snowballing so damn fast and there was so little anyone could do about it.

“No…” (Y/N) whispered, “Jesus, I’m sorry, Yama.”

“Me too,” he replied. Yamaguchi sniffled, then his voice stabilized, “Anyway, keep making your way to the control room. I’ll get into the database somehow and we’ll figure out how to stop this thing.”

“Got it. Please be-- ...careful,” she said softly.

“(Y/N)?”

She clutched her head, “It’s coming back to me now… Yamaguchi! The Indominus! I saw it on the database, could it be part raptor?”

On the other side, Yamagichi gasped, “They never let me see the file, but now that I think about it, it’s highly likely! I’ll contact Iwaizumi and see if there’s anything he can help with! Let me know if anything changes!”

“I will. Please be careful,” she begged.

“I will, and you, too, (Y/N). Tell Tsukki I love him.”

“I love you, too, Yamaguchi,” Kei replied. With that, the call clicked off.

(Y/N) inhaled deeply, “Hinata’s dead.”

“I heard.”

She shook her head, “Let’s just keep moving. I--”

Her eyes fixed on the tank where Dolly had just leapt out of the water for prey again. Bubbles flooded their view as the massive dinosaur crashed back down into her tank. (Y/N)’s mouth dropped open.

“Holy shit.”

“What is it?”

(Y/N) started sprinting down the corridor towards the control room, “I have an idea!”

~~

‘You better know what you’re doing, (Y/N),’ Tsukishima thought. He paced the floor of the control room nervously as he waited for the signal.

Their plan was well underway, and it had gone surprisingly well, which was all the more reason for him to feel like something was going to go horribly wrong.

When (Y/N) originally told him what the plan was, his response was, “Fuck no,” but after Yamaguchi and Iwaizumi both agreed that it was their best bet, Kei relented, though not without voicing his displeasure extensively.

That girl was really lucky he L-worded her. Through the security monitors, he could see the T-Rex and the Raptors were tag-teaming the Indominus. They seemed to be making progress, but the whole group looked like they were losing steam.

The radio beside him crackled to life, making him jump.

“Kei? Can you hear me?” (Y/N)’s voice came through the machine.

“Loud and clear.”

“Okay, on my signal, cut the power to Security Fence 4.”

The button was red, marked with bold black letters, and had a plexiglass case over it. Kei pressed the “disable” button, making the screen read, ‘UNAUTHORIZED COMMAND: Please enter credentials.’ He typed, ‘Tsukishima Kei,’ placing his hand on the biometric scanner when prompted.

‘MANUAL OVERRIDE: Accepted

All the previously red buttons turned green.

“Okay. Ready when you are.”

“Good. Now, listen to me, Kei,” she said grimly, “You have to cut the power the moment I tell you to. The system has a backup generator that will kick in within 30 seconds. If it's electrified when we hit it, the jeep will explode and our whole plan is shot. That fence can NOT, I repeat, CAN NOT be electrified when I get there, do you understand?”

The male nodded weakly, then, realizing she couldn’t see him, said his affirmation aloud. The radio went quiet. On the screens, the Indominus dug it’s rows of razor sharp teeth into the T-Rex’s neck, throwing the creature as far as it would go. The T-Rex lay there and did not move.

The Indominus Rex roared in victory and went in for the kill. There was a bright flash of red further away as someone offscreen lit a flare. The light became brighter as the person neared (Y/N) and they tossed it into the jeep, catching the Indominus’s attention.

Turning away from it’s prize, the hybrid screeched in rage and took off towards the light. (Y/N) hopped out of the driver’s seat, placing something on the gas pedal and diving away from the vehicle.

‘It might be better if I stay in the jeep and drive it myself,’ he remembered her saying back in the control room.

‘Better for you dying. If the impact with the fence doesn’t kill you, you’ll either drown or Dolly will eat you,’ he’d snapped.

‘But what if--’

He cut her off, ‘But nothing. Put a brick on the gas and move out of the way. There’s no reason to put you in any further danger.’

Amazingly, Kei was the one who won that debate and that’s what brought them to the present moment, with (Y/N) scrambling up off the floor and sprinting out of the Indominus’s path.

The hybrid dinosaur sprinted after the jeep that was speeding towards the mosasaur tank. The distance between the two was closing at an alarming rate.

Just before the vehicle made contact with the security fence, the radio crackled to life, “Now, Kei!”

Tsukishima slammed the button.

‘SECURITY FENCE 4: Disabled’

Just before it made contact with the fence, the jeep’s metal frame crunched under the Indominus’s powerful jaws.

“Fuck!” Kei yelled at the sight. A few seconds later, the buttons turned back to red and the screen read, ‘SECURITY FENCE 4: Enabled.’

“Well, what now?” he yelled into the radio.

“Uh, I don’t--! Fuck-- I don’t know, I’m out of ideas!” she cried in response.

Having been given a break, one of the raptors jumped in, ready to finish the fight. The creature leapt into action to subdue the murderous hybrid, but with that size difference, she wouldn’t last long.

On the verge of panic, (Y/N) said, “If the jeep broke through the fence, Dolly would have noticed the prey, but the Indominus by itself hasn’t gotten her attention! She must be too deep!”

“Well, then, get her attention!” he shot back.

(Y/N) gasped, yanking her whistle out from inside her windbreaker, “Hold me up to the main PA.”

He reached over and jabbed the button.

(Y/N) looked up when she heard his voice over the speakers spread throughout the park, “Whenever you’re ready.”

As Kei keld the radio up to the PA, (Y/N) put her whistle to her lips and blew as hard as she could, the sound undetectable by human ears. They waited with baited breath as the Indominus flung the raptor aside, where the smaller reptile did not get up. The Indominus stopped and let out another bloodcurdling roar.

When nothing more happened, all Kei could think was, ‘We failed.’

Just then, quicker than Kei could comprehend, an incredible volume of water overtook his field of view. Water droplets obscured the CCTV cameras giving him a view of the action, and when they cleared, it took him a moment to register the massive aquatic dinosaur protruding halfway out of its paddock. It held the silver, spiny-backed hybrid in its ginormous maw of thousands of teeth. Crushed by a predator honed by millions of years of evolution, the Indominus writhed in pain and panic, but its struggle only opened more wounds in its flank. It screeched in pain or terror or frustration, Kei wasn’t sure. The only thing that mattered was the slick sound of Dolly sliding backwards into her enclosure, taking her prey with her. All that was left was dark purple blood, soaked pavement, a broken fence still sparking, and a crushed jeep.

“Holy shit,” Tsukishima whispered.

“Holy shit,” (Y/N) murmured in agreement before her knees gave out and she fell to the floor unconscious.

~~

With the Indominus gone and the pterosaurs having been hunted down by the military, park guests were being reunited with their friends and family. Rescue teams were sent to canvas the park for survivors, though they were advised not to get too close to the mosasaur tank. Tsukishima shuddered, knowing that the mosasaurus was always fully capable of leaping halfway out of its tank, she simply chose not to, perhaps out of respect for (Y/N). If, by some miracle, the park survived, he’d have to enforce some serious regulations.

“Tsukishima-san?” one of the surviving guards came to collect him. Conveniently, Kei’s general demeanor kept him from flinching at being addressed the way he heard everyone address his father. The guard led him to a private section of the infirmary, where he saw (Y/N) sitting on a cot looking like she’d spent the last 10 hours in a ditch, though her injuries otherwise looked far from anything life threatening.

“Oh, relax, I’m fine,” she said when she saw the look on his face. “I just got myself all scratched up jumping out of the jeep. I’m not even that hurt.”

Kei scooped her up in his arms in relief.

“Okay, owie, owie, I’m not completely unharmed, stop, stop, stop,” she whined.

The tall male pulled back and stared down at her. The left side of her face has several cuts and she held an ice pack to her ribs on the same side. She had heavy bags under her eyes, but those same eyes shone with relief and delight now that the whole ordeal was over.

“I’d ask if you had brain damage, but you must’ve already had some to come up with such a reckless plan,” he scolded.

(Y/N) gaped at him, “Reckless? It worked! Don’t be mean, Kei, I did good today.”

“You would have done great today if you hadn’t come back to me injured.”

“Again, it worked, didn’t it?”

“I suppose,” he rolled his eyes. “But it would really do wonders for my blood pressure if the person I care about most didn’t have such self-destructive tendencies.”

She grinned at his choice of words, “What was that you called me just now?”

“Self-destructive.” Chuckling, he took her hand in his, pressing a gentle kiss to the back of it. “Are we gonna be okay?” he asked, not making eye contact with her.

Content, the girl smiled and nestled against her pillows. Her eyes slowly drifted shut.

“We’re gonna be just fine, Kei,” she replied. For a moment he thought she didn’t quite understand what he meant until she squeezed his hand gently. Tsukishima smiled in relief, squeezing her hand back.

“Kei?”

“Hmm?”

“I feel the same way.”

FANFIC WRITERS TAG GAME

***

Thank you @hvae for tagging me this was fun // I don't have many that I'm close enough to tag. @youshineshine @suzy-rainbow @eeunoia

***

01. what fandoms have you written for (but do not currently)?

I used to write for Kimetsu no Yaiba (I might when that anime starts back up again🤧) and also like once I tried to for Noragami

02. what fandoms are you currently writing for?

I write for The Boyz and ENHYPEN

03. how long have you been writing?

I started writing about 6 or 7 years ago if I count the time I tried writing for Noragami. I officially started writing and posting works in 2019

04. on which platforms do you post your stories?

K-pop on Tumblr only. Anime/manga on AO3.

If you like kny and inotan then check out my AO3 cause that was like all I wrote

05. what is your favorite genre to write?

Romantic fluff. Also family fluff. So not just biological family, I love found family with friends. You can really see that in my kny works

06. are you a pantser or a planner?

I think both. I come up with stories by a single scenario in my head and then it kinda either goes from there and I make stuff up as I type or I build it out and set a timeline before writing (this is usually only the case if it's gonna be more than one chapter)

07. one-shot or multiple-chapter?

One-shots… finding the motivation to write multiple chapters works is so ugh. The reason why I stopped writing what I was for Noragami. If it's a one-shot I don't have to be worried about minor details and a timeline. When a chapter is done it's just done and I don't have to worry about it anymore!

08. what is the perfect chapter length in your opinion?

For me personally, I have to write works with at least 1k words, or else I feel like it's too short. Tho if it's in line with a smau I don't feel that pressed to make it long or anything. I'm not sure if I have a perfect chapter length yet since I'm still in the middle of writing my first multi-chapter fanfic, everything published before was just one-shots that were varying in length.

09. what is your longest published story?

Currently, that would be, I Miss You. My inotan fic on AO3, but only by a little, soon, No Doubt In Us will take over when I post chapter 6 (which that chapter is so far the longest fanfic chapter I've ever written, it isn't even that long tho).

10. what story did you enjoy working on the most?

I think either, I Miss You or A Second Family(another intan fic). I just absolutely love family, especially found family. Finding comfort and love with those you aren't related to is something I yearn for. That's how I am implying Chanhee and Y/N's relationship is in, No Doubt in Us without actually writing their whole story out. They aren't a thing and never will be but they are more than just regular friends. They both are part of good families that they love, but the two of them are so involved with each other's life that they can't imagine not having the other around. They are very important to their own characters and how they turned out, they are siblings at this point.

11. favorite request you’ve written and why?

I only ever got one request, it was also the first thing I wrote for my blog, and boy was it hard. Read it here

12. are there reoccurring themes in your stories?

Any kind of themes that involve love, not in just the romantic form but all types of love. That's what's so fun about love there are a lot of different kinds! So themes kinda vary but it's always about some type of love.

13. current number of wips?

If you count ideas as wipes then 4-5 if not then 0

14. three things you’ve noticed about your writing?

I'm not very good at writing dialogue and don't write it as much as I write actions and feelings, I think. I don't talk with others much so I have trouble figuring out how normal conversations go with certain characters.

I also write more than I realize/plan to. Like I think, "this idea isn't even going to be 1000 words!" And then it's multiple thousands. This doesn't apply to just fanfic it always happens for school papers too.

15. a quote you like from a published story?

“[...] placing a chaste kiss on his lips. I could feel his lips form a smile against mine which made me smile too. I pulled away laughing, the happiness I’m feeling right now seems unreal, but looking at his smile, the reddish color that dusted his cheeks and ears told me just how real it was."-- Not as a Friend. I just love fluff, what can I say! Also decided to pick from my K-pop works since that's what I'm known for here.

16. a quote from an unpublished story?

Cw/Tw: blood, implied domestic abuse

"He sneers at her and spits in their direction and walks out of the room. One, two, three, four, seconds pass when the sound of the front door slamming closed. Relief floods her body, she feels so weak but she slowly lifts her body with one hand and brings herself to her knees, placing inosuke on the bed. She brings the hem of her shirt to her nose, sooking up the blood still dripping down her face, waiting for it to stop bleeding. "My love, I'm sorry...I'm so sorry you were born into this kind of family.""-- another kny story, but it's about Inosuke's mom. I don't think I'll ever finish this. As much as I want to, idk it's so fucking angsty I literally can't handle it.

17. space for you to say something to your readers

I used to be very pressed about the numbers (on my twt acc) but then I said fuck it. I've learned to appreciate what I have at the moment and not focus on what I wish I had. So all of you that do read my stuff, thank you! You're likes and rbs mean a lot to me.

[eldritch-elrics]

this summer, me and my brother watched four whole shows. at long last, here is my comprehensive review of all of them!

in the order we watched them, these shows were:

avatar the last airbender (ATLA)

mob psycho 100 (MP100)

demon slayer / kimetsu no yaiba (KNY)

fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood (FMAB)

they were all very very good!

i’m not going to try to rank them, but, as is probably obvious by the state of my blog, my favorite was FMAB :) if i had to pick a least favorite, then, it would probably be KNY—not by any fault of its own, but just because it didn’t appeal to me quite as much as the others. still a very good show!

i will review each show by:

giving a quick plot-based pitch discussing the show’s hook or appeal

discussing one element that i believe it does better than any other show on this list—in other words, a quality that i think it stands out for

discussing one element that didn’t appeal to me or that i had issues with—a criticism

putting forth my favorite character and favorite episode or arc, just for funsies

including various other commentary. mostly positive, as, again, i did really like all of these!

(i’ve tried to make this whole thing free of specific spoilers, but if you’re planning on watching any of these shows and want to go in more-or-less blind, it might be best not to read this.)

first of all, i’d just like to discuss all four of these shows as a whole! it was definitely interesting watching one after another and noting similarities between them.

all of them have siblings in them! which is, perhaps, fitting, as i watched them with my brother

two include a pair of siblings in which one has powers and one doesn’t (at least at first), and part of the narrative involves getting better at using those powers (ATLA, MP100)

two include a narrative centered around a pair of siblings and something tragic that happens to them, resulting in the older one being traumatized and forced to train to become a soldier, and the younger one turning into something (arguably) inhuman. the protagonist’s major goal is to return his younger sibling to the way they were before (KNY, FMAB)

ATLA and FMAB are both fantasy political dramas, which is rapidly becoming a favorite genre of mine

most of these are historical, or historically inspired in some way, which is interesting!

all of these shows are really really good at character building. all the main characters are interesting and complex, and the relationships between those characters are similarly nuanced and very well written. they make you really care about both the protagonists and the side characters!

avatar: the last airbender

pitch: as the ever-growing imperial force of the fire nation threatens the earth and water nations, a kid from the long-lost air nation turns up and it turns out he can control all four elements and he has to save the world and all that. sorry i tried to write this pitch like five times and realized that well at this point i think everyone reading this will know the plot of avatar

stands out for: avatar has possibly the best worldbuilding i have ever seen in a show—it takes the time to introduce us to so many places and aspects of its world, both explicitly and subtly. the main highlight of this is the magic system. by creating a magic system based in body movement, the process of using magic and learning to use/control it better becomes immediately obvious to the viewer. combine that with the philosophy behind each type of bending and the way that characters take bending inspiration from types different than their own, and you’ve got a system that is complex, flexible, believable, internally consistent, and just plain fun! it makes action sequences a blast. i especially liked the moments when bending was stretched to its limits in totally logical ways (metalbending, bloodbending). not to mention the way that bending is seamlessly integrated into the world of avatar! the example that comes to mind is the earthbending-powered transport system of omashu. a whole essay could be written on that topic alone!

criticism: i know this is a sentiment shared by many people, but the first season was kind of boring to me. some of the humor and the plots felt hit-or-miss. of course, it needed to take that time to establish the world, and it does a great job of doing that. it just didn’t hook me until the second season.

favorite character: i love toph she’s so much fun :) iroh is a close second! and zuko is great, too, of course

favorite arc: i loved ba sing se a ton, especially the episode when they get there and everything feels off. it felt so resonant with real life, in a very fun way. there’s a reason “there is no war in ba sing se” is a meme…

other commentary: what can i say? it’s a classic for a damn good reason. the plot is tight, and it does a great job raising tension and introducing new elements and twists. i also love the care put into the antagonists, especially azula, who has a fascinating arc.

mob psycho 100

pitch: a middle schooler and a charismatic con artist team up to smite ghosts using extrasensory powers. thing is, only the middle schooler actually has ESP, and it happens to be really, really powerful. can he navigate the difficult world of middle school while also getting a better grip on his powers—and his bottled-up emotions?

stands out for: the way that MP100 uses animation is excellent. it takes a little getting used to but it’s just so fun, combining all sorts of different techniques to create an experience rich with drama and emotion. it’s playfully exaggerated and self-parodying, adding to the show’s fantastic sense of humor as well as its truly emotional moments.

criticism: the way that ESP works makes suspension of disbelief tricky. it’s a great feat to introduce a character who is essentially all-powerful and still make them interesting (even in fight scenes), but at times (especially the second season finale) it felt like a magic system with too much breadth and too few limitations. this might just be my bias for hard magic systems talking, though.

favorite character: other than mob and reigen? probably teru. he’s loads of fun AND all the season 1 episodes he’s in slap hard

favorite episode: the one where the girl asks mob out on a date as a dare.. it’s super cute

other commentary: thank you mp100 for being the leftist propaganda we all deserve <3

in all seriousness though, this show is a blast!! it does a great job switching between silly and serious in the blink of an eye. i also really appreciate the way that it balances comically huge stakes with much smaller, more personal stories. for example, the conflict between mob and reigen in season 2 is especially well-done. in general the emotions just feel so real? characters whose emotions tie into their powers are an excellent trope, and mob is a wonderful protagonist who exemplifies this really well.

finally, on a more critical note—there are so many characters in this show! and it feels like only a handful are fleshed out? however, this may be due to the fact that it’s not an adaptation of the entire manga (which i haven’t read). there’s a lot more to go! more characters to dive into! so i probably shouldn’t try to critique it in the same way as a finished work.

demon slayer / kimetsu no yaiba

pitch: demons kill a boy’s family and turn his sister into a demon, so he decides to try and figure out a way to turn his sister back into a human. what follows is a demon-killing adventure that’s in equal parts harrowing, poignant, and hilarious.

stands out for: there’s not much i can say about this other than “please just take a look” but the art and design is phenomenal. it does a much better job of integrating 2D and 3D than a lot of other animated series, and overall it is just so so pretty! all the character designs are complex, memorable, and fit the characters perfectly. the color choices are interesting and satisfying. i also really like the sound design? not often that i notice that in a show. i’ve watched so many KNY amvs by now lol it’s just amazing animation

criticism: the narration style leans too heavily towards tell instead of show. this is mostly an issue with the first few episodes, but i got super annoyed by how much the show would narrate every single one of tanjirou’s thoughts instead of letting us infer those thoughts through his actions and reactions—the latter, i think, would have been more emotionally impactful. sometimes silence speaks louder than words! tanjirou was also not the world’s most compelling protagonist in my opinion, though i think that mostly has to do with my own tastes.

favorite character: *holds up zenitsu* I Just Think He’s Neat. i actually kind of lost it when he first used his powers, like… damn i love characters with weird relationships with their magic like that. i also think the narrative about how having a solid foundation is sometimes more important than knowing a ton of different moves was really powerful. and he’s just funny! pathetic boy i love him

favorite arc: really just the whole spider arc. fucked up man… i love it. they pulled off that last twist so well, and all the family stuff was so weird and complex and emotional…

other commentary: it’s just a really solid and very well-written show! the team of tanjirou, zenitsu, and inosuke is so much fun… bro bonding :) i also quite like the horror elements; it’s fucked up but in a good way. finally, this is very specific, but the demon that can alter buildings/rooms through drumbeats? appealed to me very much. it’s a cool and unique power!

fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood

pitch: two kids do some fucked up alchemy and end up getting parts of their body stolen by god. now they’re on a quest to get their bodies back, but find themselves wrapped up in crazy government conspiracies and alchemy more powerful than they ever could’ve imagined…

stands out for: plot. by this i mean less overall concept (though the overall concept is pretty great too), and more that the pacing and progression of the story is extraordinarily tight. for the most part (the first few episodes are a little weak but i’ll let it slide), it does an excellent job establishing its premise and building on it logically, adding layers and layers that extend naturally from what we already know. everything has a reason for happening; everything is revealed in good time and all the twists are super satisfying. there’s great balance between exciting moments and quiet moments. it’s just very good at being a story!

(fun fact: i’m reading the manga right now and so far it’s even better paced than the show, which is super interesting! it’s especially good at how it lays out pieces of the backstory and then fills everything in later in a really satisfying way.)

criticism: this is incredibly specific but it’s what comes to mind as something that bothered me: winry’s character arc was really disappointing. for most of the series she’s a pretty strong character, but in the end it feels like she gets pushed aside, defined only by her relationship with ed. what happened to her wanting to take action more? that was a specific desire she expressed—wanting to be less passive! since she’s such an important character, i wish she could have had more presence in the last season other than as a sounding board for the elric bros’ emotions. (even though her one scene in the last episode was really good and emotional…)

favorite character: other than the elric bros, absolutely ling. he fits into multiple of my favorite character archetypes (fun, silly, bastard, gets possessed…) and he’s just overall a delight. plus his relationship with greed is really really good. bro bonding at its peak!! (my other favorite is pride. i will not say why because spoilers. but if you know me.. you know)

favorite episode: this is really really hard to choose but i’m gonna go with envy’s death because. holy shit.

other commentary: i’m a really big fan of the complex and nuanced way in which FMAB breaks down militaristic, imperial regimes from the inside. many of the characters have done awful things, and the story forces them to grapple with that and accept that all they can do now is be better in the future. the moral complexity is just really good! characters with flaws—we love to see it!

finally, parts of this story seem so so catered to Me Specifically that it’s no wonder i got so into it. like just the entire premise? the way that so much of the conflict is built out of identity crisis and exploring the nature of consciousness and human vs inhuman? beautiful. i love ed and al so much

*

if you made it all the way to the end, thank you so much for reading!! glad to have finally gotten this done (3 months late…) and put all my thoughts down. i hope this inspires someone to try watching one of the shows i discussed!

demon!NezuTan AU

fandom: KNY character(s): Nezuko/Tanjirou (not explicit, but they are together), Yoshiteru (Zenitsu), Aoba (Inosuke) rating: T, pretty gen tho words: 1522

basically, what if NezuTan had stayed demons and lived to the present-day. mild spoilers for ch 205/end of KNY

read on AO3

“Are you reading those stories again, Yoshiteru?” Aoba sits down across his friend, at a cafe, rolling his eyes. “We’re supposed to be studying, not reading some sci-fi, fantasy stuff.” 

“Hey, my great-grandpa wrote these, you know!” Yoshiteru huffs. “Apparently, he was good friends with the Kamado demon siblings, and helped in the fight against Muzan. So I might be related to the reason Japan is still standing today!”

“Okay, sure, then maybe I am, too,” Aoba rolls his eyes again, before opening his book. “Can we get to business, now? I want to go into research. I’m not gonna make it there if I don’t get into the university I want.”

“Ugh, you’re so boring, Aoba,” Yoshiteru grumbles. “I think they’re real.”

At the sight of his friend’s incredulous face, Yoshiteru frowns. “You don’t think they’re real? There’s so many sources and stories about them--”

“Yeah, just a bunch of people spreading the same rumors, and wanting to get some attention,” Aoba shrugs. 

“But these stories are from all over Japan, and there are even some from outside too in recent decades. And they corroborate, even though there’s no way these people would know of each others’ stories--not back then.”

Aoba raises an eyebrow. “Well, even if those stories are true, there certainly aren’t any demons now.”

“Probably because they don’t want us to know they’re around. And maybe the Kamado siblings got rid of most of them!”

He snorts. “What next? You’re probably gonna say the Kamado siblings are still running around in modern day Tokyo, being vigilantes or something.”

His friend’s eyes sparkle.

Aoba grimaces. “You actually do think that? I bet you’re only so interested because Kamado Nezuko was said to be a great beauty.”

Yoshiteru leans forward, eyes ablaze, and practically drooling. “She is a great beauty! My great-grandpa writes how any man seeing her would be overwhelmed with emotion!”

“You’re disgusting. Sounds like your great-grandpa was the same.”

Suddenly, Yoshiteru’s eyes intensify and Aoba sighs, because he knows that look. 

“Aoba! Your six o’clock!” Yoshiteru half-whispers, as if trying to be discrete, but nothing about the boy was discrete, from his personality to the volume of his voice. 

Regardless, the cafe is quite bustling, so Aoba hopes whoever Yoshiteru is pointing out to him hasn’t heard the whisper. 

When he stealthily tries to peek over his shoulder (not that he really cares, but he knows his friend wouldn’t let it alone), he’s briefly worried they were overheard after all, because a beautiful girl is in fact sitting across the cafe, and she’s staring directly at them now.

There’s no way she should’ve heard them, not as far as she was. Her stare isn’t threatening or annoyed, more like curiosity. 

Aoba quickly turns away. “Yoshiteru, don’t you dare go and bother that girl.” But it’s too late, and Aoba can see the hearts forming in his friend’s eyes. 

Almost as if in a trance and true to his convictions, Yoshiteru strolls over to the girl in question and Aoba frets before rushing after his friend to wrangle him away. 

By the time he reaches them, he gets a better look at the beautiful girl Yoshiteru is currently talking nonsense to. She seems a bit older than them, perhaps in college. 

She looks the part, in a cozy sweater, jeans, and combat boots in contrast to his and Yoshiteru’s high school uniforms. Her long, pink-tipped hair is free flowing, with a small clip to keep it from falling into her face. But most strange of all, she was actually smiling at Yoshiteru. 

“Miss, I’m so sorry,” Aoba apologizes, slightly bowing at her, as he insistently tugs on his friend’s arm, whispering harshly of how they needed to sit back down because he really didn’t want to get banned from another cafe, dammit. The one owned by the strange, mismatched couple had the best donuts, and he was lucky the pink-haired woman still let him in on occasion. “My friend was dropped on the head as a baby many times, so he has no working brain, you see.”

For his credit, the taller boy remains obstinately in place. “You said your name was Toko? Toko-chan?” 

Aoba smacks the back of his friend’s head, and normally he would wail, but it’s as if Aoba turned into a ghost, his strike having no more effect than a breeze. 

The girl, apparently Toko, giggles and waves a small hand. “It’s okay,” she assures him. “It’s nice to meet you two. And your name is?” She turns to Aoba. 

“Uh, Hashibira Aoba,” he offers, after a beat. He can’t believe a pretty college girl is actually giving the two of them the time of day, even if out of pity. 

He might be imagining it, but when he says his name, it seems like her eyes soften at the two of them. 

“Hashibira-san,” she nods her head, still smiling. 

Suddenly, he feels a tingle down his spine, like a deep rooted instinct, passed down from his ancestors. But when he turns around, all he sees is a kind-faced boy with light purple eyes, smiling at him. 

“Hello,” the boy grins gently, tilting his head. “Have you two been keeping Toko company?”

Aoba freezes--crap, is this her boyfriend? Is he about to beat the two of them up for trying to hit on his girlfriend? This guy’s face is one of the softest faces he’d ever seen, but there’s no mistake there’s a lot of muscle hidden underneath his hoodie and jacket, and he doesn’t disregard the shock down his spine from earlier--

“Onii-chan, you’re pretty late.”

Okay, they’re siblings, it changes things but still does not rule out the possibility of getting beat up for bothering Toko-san. 

“Sorry, Toko,” the red-haired boy ducks his head sheepishly. “I’ll buy you a pastry, I promise.”

“I made some new friends,” Toko says instead. “This is Hashibira Aoba-kun and Agatsuma Yoshiteru-kun.”

“Nice to meet you. You can call me Sumihiko,” the newcomer bows and beams at them, almost too friendly. 

Yoshiteru is giving Sumihiko a dirty glare, as if Sumihiko somehow insulted him by being related to a beautiful girl. 

“Nice to meet you,” Aoba bows, forcing his friend to bend forward as well. “I’m sorry to have bothered you two, we’ll leave you to it.”

“Wait, Toko-chan, can I get your number, please?” Yoshiteru howls, and Aoba can never stop getting embarrassed when he’s loud enough people around them start to take notice. “Just your number, and I swear I won’t text too often, maybe just once every other day, maybe once a day, okay?”

Aoba futilely attempts to drag his friend away. “Goddammit Yoshiteru, if someone calls the police on you one more time, you really might not get away with it--”

“Sure.”

Even Yoshiteru himself is in shock at Toko’s ready agreement, and dumbly hands over his phone for Toko to input her contact information. Again, Aoba isn’t sure if it’s the lighting in the cafe, but now it’s as if both siblings are looking at him and Yoshiteru with tender, fond eyes. 

Before he can stop himself, he blurts out, “Have we met before?”

Sumihiko shakes his head, slowly. “No, I don’t think we have.”

“Oh… sorry, I thought you two just looked a bit familiar,” he blushes, feeling like an idiot in front of these two very attractive siblings now. 

“It’s alright, we get that more often than you’d think,” Toko assures him. 

Aoba isn’t sure why, because the two of them definitely stand out enough to not be confused with other faces, but he doesn’t question it further. 

“Toko-chan, perhaps we met in a past life!” Yoshiteru croons, cloyingly. “Maybe we were even married!”

Aoba notices the matching grins on Sumihiko and Toko--and also realizes they really do look alike, considering at first glance, he could hardly believe they were actually siblings, with neither their hair nor eyes matching. 

“Okay, I think it’s really time we start studying, Yoshiteru,” Aoba grits his teeth, and with herculean effort, wrenches the boy away from his newfound infatuation. “I don’t think Toko-san will want to talk to a high school dropout.”

“We’ll meet again soon, Toko-chan!” Yoshiteru blubbers, reaching out towards her. 

-

“Do you think we acted weird?” Nezuko ponders quietly, when Tanjirou returns to her with the promised croissant. “We smiled like fools the whole time.”

Tanjirou shrugs, the grin not leaving his face. “I couldn’t help it. I was so happy to see them again.”

Nezuko giggles, wistfully. “I know. Me too.”

(“Let’s bring Yushiro some cake pops, later.”

“He’ll only eat them once we leave.”

“I know.”)

Kny x Khr(katekyo hitman reborn)

long post ahead im sorry im on a friggin phone so bear with me and buckle up owo

Maybe ill write some crossovers hc but @lightofthedeep did amazing fanarts and wrote some really cool stuff: here

☆☆☆

i wanted to try to associate some kny characters to the dying will flames from reborn. Im only going with the primary one but some characters might have some characterestic of 2 tho I don't feel competant enough to go with the earth ones. My list is not perfect feel free to disagree and put your input. There will be spoilers from both of those fandom mostly for the kny manga. I also used those post:here, here, here and here to help with my decisions. I recommend you read them if you want to have a better insight or if you are curious.

☆☆☆

Tanjirou Kamado: 100% a sky flame user. He share some similarities with Tsuna. He does'nt seem to be the type willing to take the lead but he have the capacities to do so. His sense of smell goes well with the sky flames insight and the principal harmony characteristic of the sky flame. I wouls see him using the hyper intuition.

Nezuko kamado: I had to think really hard becsuse I am leaning toward sun and lighthning since both of those flames traits applies to her a lot but surprisingly lighthing. Her fighting is close to the sun users characteristics support both offensive and deffensive and healing but with the impulsivity of lighthning users. She goes straightfowards using he demon blood art technique thay can be destructive at the risk at turning completely to a demon. Also her ambition to protect is very strong.

Zenitsu Agatsuma: 100% lightning not because of his breath but because of his impulsivity. He shares some traits with Lambo who needs to be reassured constantly and they both do their best. Also lightning users are both on the defense and offence and can be pretty dammaging if we look at his first form.

Inosuke Hashibira: surprisingly a rain user but he does have some of the storms users characteristics. He is also a bit similar to Squalo. Inosuke tends to starts fight tho he is'nt the one to back down and at one point he questions his strengh in a similar way Yamamoto did. The principal trait I identify him with the rain flame is thay rain users tends to be supports, they slows down the ennemy or does a diversion the best exemple would be the fight against Douma.

Tamayo: a mist she have that mysterious vibe i get from her and her blood demon art techniques are closes to what mist users does they stands on non close combat.

Yushiro: a lighting when it comes to tamayo he will do anything to protect her and he also got the impulsive of mpst of the lightnings.

Sabito: sun, he his the one to tell Tanjirou to surpass his limit and his proeficient in his training and his abilities in a fight.

Makomo: Mist, the way she talk reminds me of mist user they are also observant and we can see that when she helps Tanjirou with his training.

Kanao Tsuyuri: A mist flame user I think she shares some traits with Chrome Dokuro like they both struggles to make their own desicions at the begining. Also Kanao having a good eyeshieght and the last form of the breath of the flower reminds me of the vongola gear lenses.

Genya Shinazugawa: Another lightning user, he fights from the side lines and got the impulsivity and ambition of becoming a pillar so Sanemi can accept him.

Oyakata sama: Sky, he has that calming aura that bring peace and harmony, his pillars respect him deeply. He easily accept the kamado sibling situation.

Mitsuri Kanroji: Sun she is active on her physical strenght, she is supportive of everyone and is'nt afraid to show it.

Iguro Obanai: A cloud flame , he kind of reminds me of Hibari, He does his thinga on his on way and does'nt really cares about others opinion.

Himejima gyomei: lightning, he his a strong support and he have a good defense. He isn't mich impulvise as others lightning users but he is loyal to oyakata.

Giyuu Tomioka: A rain user, he does'nt tends to goes in fights but is drawn to them due to his job. I can see some parallels with yamamoto when he questions himself about his position as a pillar.

Shinobu Koucho: surprisingly a storm flame user, their main caracteristic are desintegration and desctruction it can applies well to her poisons. Also storm users have strong desires and it can be self-destructive do I have to remind you wich drastic measures she had to take to kill douma.

Rengoku Kyoujurou: A sun user. Sun users are active in and out the battlefield, they rely to mostly strenght and/or speed. Rengoku is super passionate and supportive he used his skilled to protect a lot of people in the train arc.

Sanemi Shinazugawa: Storm, his breath of the wind is pretty destructive. Storms users tend to get in arguments easily. He did'nt hesitate to draws his own blood to prove a point.

Uzui Tengen: Sun he his present for those around him. He posses a great strenght and speed. Sound goes well with the activation characterestic of sun flames and put his energy in takong care of his wives.

Muichirou Tokito: mist what can i say he fits fits with most of mist flames users. we can see he is elusive and he can change after his encounter with tanjirou in the hidden village. He kind of reminds me of Fran.

Muzan Kibutsuji: Surprisingly a sky flame user. He would be able to use the flame of wrath xanxus uses since it's a combinaison of both sky and storm and he reminds me way too much of oresent xanxus. The harmony characteristic of the sky flame can be seen in Muzan. in a way he hates changes and he want to keep the hierarchy of the 12 moon the same for the longest decade.

Kokushibou: storm i mean did you saw him fight against three pillar he is in the center of that battle and have a good offense. Also the complex he had woith his brother illustrate some of his desire i dont really know how to word it.

Douma: If we take in consideration his lack of emotions and beliefs im not totally sure if he would have a peticullar flame since flame users needs to have a strong resolve to develop a flame. Tho if we set asides that he would surprisingly be a sky flame userbecause of his polyvalent style of combat. He understands how others act/react in battles pretty quickly and him being a cult leader he knows what to do to keep it at peace. He reminds me of Byakuran because of that goddamn fake smiles and the playful act.

Akaza: A sun type he focus a lot on getting stronger and his fighthing style is pretty similar to Ryohei's punches. He does'nt hesitate to speak his mind with enemies he finds strong.

Hantengu: cloud, he his cetain he is innocent despites what his actions and he multiply trough his differents personalities.

Gyokko: Cloud his skills of turning things to fish go along the propagation ascpect of the cloud users also he won't change his manner and artworrks usually stay the same.

Daki: lightning she got the impulsivity when it comes to her childish behavior she also take what she want and the uses of her sash is pretty convinient of the offence and defense.

Gyutaro: A cloud user his poison his dangerous and goes with the propagation aspect. he have a lot of pride and he won't change anytime soon.

Enmu tami: Well it's kind of obvious he is a mist user. Those users are eluvise and act from the sidelines and non in hands on hands. Enmu blood demon art is close to illusions. He would have a secondary cloud because Enmu is the type to calculate a precise plans and have some difficulty to adapt to changes.

Rui: storm He goes to great lenght to achieve his desire of feeling bonds with his fake familly. When he battles he does not hides his killing intents and his skills are destructive.

Kaigaku: a storm, he got a strong desire of being reconized by others even at the cost of becoming a demon himself.

[the-nysh]

Noww that KNY is over, what are your complete thoughts on it and do you think it's popularity was well-earned (or even, do you know why it got SO popular)?

Hmm! So overall it was a good, brisk read. Very straightforward, and it followed through on delivering exactly what the premise promised, no more no less. :O (Except so many of people’s favs died, like 80% of the recurring cast sacrificed to win the war vs demons, so that was pretty brutal;;) Things could have been extended much longer to ride the popularity train (ie with an entire role reversal arc by making human!Nezuko take her brother’s place as the protag while she helps find the cure + blue spider lilies for her demonized brother, for example) but I understand the mangaka had to cut things short for personal reasons. So ending things shortly after the big bad is defeated, without repeatedly dragging things on more than needed doesn’t come as a surprise. I can respect the mangaka’s choice for that. Personally I’ll take ch204 + the end photo from 205 as the ending, as I didn’t need to see any of the modern shenanigans with their descendants/reincarnations, cause those new people weren’t the same characters we knew that grew with the story, so I honestly couldn’t feel much attachment for them in that sense. :’) The ending would have been satisfying enough, happily ever after + open-ended with much implied, without needing to show any of that extra stuff beyond, I feel.  

Best arcs I think were still the train and red light districts, which have yet to be animated, so those fans only familiar with the series thru the anime have yet to see kny at its peak, I feel! :O Next up is the train movie, which I’m excited for!

Fav things to come from the series were Inosuke (he was an absolute treasure! can’t ever forget him), Sanemi (Pillar with the most touching char development), and Azaka (best demon with the biggest/most lasting impact + emotional backstory; definitely need to see this guy animated! ;A; Muzan, the big bad, couldn’t come close in comparison.) 

Concerning the series’ popularity, I’d say ufotable came in at the perfect time to adapt the manga (that was such a great deal getting that studio!) In the perfect window while other big animes had already ended, so it had the best chance for new + curious watchers to check it out and come on board. I’d say it was a good thing, cause any series deserves that chance for a passionate + faithful adaptation like that, and it shows. The manga was already solid enough (just as Murata said too) cause I still feel the manga’s best arcs have yet to be animated. So the manga’s popularity following what was shown in the anime definitely has its own basis for the huge sales. :O The anime just gave those new fans a strong reason to check out the source material, which is what good animes are designed to do anyway (ie broader advertisement + promotion for the manga.)

What I hope this means going forward though, is that studio/production executives see the fantastic success results from doing this type of adaptation, and aren’t afraid to do the same for others next. Meaning, if they put their faith/investment/passion into adapting other series like that, it could lead to other huge wins/improvements for the industry as a whole. So hopefully with kny, it’s just the start of something good for animes/mangas all around. :’) 

#Anonymous #replies #kny #manga spoilers #i feel the series could have gone on longer but i can respect the mangaka's decision wanting to end things here #(it could have overstayed its welcome otherwise; so ending with a clean sendoff as opposed to like..bleach's ending was perhaps wise) #anyway i hope this means production people can see the fruitful and beneficial results of making strong anime adaptations #and aren't afraid to produce other new series with the same investment/quality too...because it all pays off #(meaning i hope say...those planning on producing opm s3 can see what needs to be done if they want it to be a huge success too)
