#also the hell taki looks like a different person

[poprocksromance]

I’m so deeply confused about &audition, why is HYBE so weird about being clear how the show works and how many will debut? At least I-Land was easy to watch because I knew Enhypen already. I want to watch the show but I feel like it’s going to be unduly stressful. Maybe I’ll wait?

#&audition #i-land #HYBE #HYBE always has to be special and weird #the marbles??? #also the hell taki looks like a different person

RE: your response to my last ask: Yes I have to note take!! I’m definitely one of those people who will get to the end of anything, a movie, show, album, fic, book and just be like “yes, it was amazing! Vibes immaculate!!” But not be able to tell you why. I’ve just enjoyed interacting so much on here, ive started to take notes while reading from authors of fics i like so i can give feedback on WHY it is I like it!

Also, reading this was so therapeutic for me. The starkness of Yoongi’s dislike of himself was so… there’s definitely been moments where i could relate to that. And seeing the similarities and contrast between how reader and Yoongi think really was moment for me to like parallel that in my own life, like the people who care about me are in their own head on some level and not thinking about me like i think about me. This whole series has been pretty therapeutic for me on that level if you couldn’t tell from past comments, so… thanks for that *finger guns of unnecessary and anonymous vulnerability*

Back to the topic at hand, I love the contrast between the things reader is worried about and what Yoongi is worried about, and it’s really highlighted to me in the flashback to sidewalk talk, where he tries to commit to living in the present in that moment instead of worrying about the past. He seems very focused on how his past demons may manifest in the present, that he’ll repeat old mistakes, having regrets about how he’s negatively impacted her already with basketball. Meanwhile she’s focused on the future kind of. What people will think, how strange it will be, what her brother will think and do. Yoongi isn’t even actively thinking about that stuff because he’s blocking any future, that’s just off limits, on top of his worries about the past! That was a really interesting part of him, and them, to see!!

Also loved getting understanding of when he started thinking some type of way about her when she’d come back from college and give him hell!!

I just loved seeing his shyness and nervousness around her come through as well. It was so clear even through his guilt and regret and worry that she still was knocking him off his feet at every turn! He’s very clear even to himself that she’s someone he cares very deeply for on a personal level, even if he believes he can’t act on it. Not that that wasn’t apparent before, but this gave us a whole new look of just how deep he’s in.

I just wish reader knew how much the things she says and does matter to him!! I think she’s starting to, but still!!

It was also great re-reading Stay w Yoongi’s pov right before. I had forgotten a lot of the details in there about how much he appreciated her not testing his boundaries by sleeping on the couch, how shy he got when she called him hot, how nervous he got about asking her to stay when he went into work.

This part specifically had me all in my feels from Stay:

“The point is that, despite having several chances to do so, you didn’t overstep. Despite showing him—and telling him—how much you wanted to be here, you just… 

He might be in trouble.”

But having read some of your responses to feedback already about how this chapter was wanting to portray the turmoil he’s going through AND something you said a while ago about having planned around 12 main parts to this series has me nervous about 3tan9!! I just have a feeling that things are about to come to a head in a really angsty way as a last hurdle to the end!! Ofc i trust you to bring all the feels and in your no unhappy endings policy, and in every good story ive read the darkness before the dawn always makes the dawn so much sweeter! But whatever way it goes im so along for the ride!!!! You always feed us well even if it’s so different then what i guess at!!

Also rereading stay was a kick i needed to do my own job search and applying things this weekend like reader! If only I had a Yoongi encouraging me… His cloud pictures have been nice though… Wish me luck!!

BUS I LOVE THE NOTE TAKING!! it's so smart! when i used to read fics on here, i would literally do live commentary with my author friends or just write down my thoughts on another tab while reading so i didn't forget! i wanted to make long/thoughtful reviews, and that was the easiest way to do so! let's get into this one under the cut bc i may have another essay coming along LOL

therapeutic?! omg.. that's so :')) i'm glad you found it that way. i've related to this, too, sadly. it's not a good place to be, and you really have to claw your way out once you actively work to get out of that headspace.

love the commentary about the different ways of thinking! it's so true. the people that care about you are thinking about their own fears, worries, goals, lives. if you're worried about how people perceive you? guess what. everyone is thinking about themselves and their own problems most of the time, so try not to put too much stock in what people think. at the end of the day, we have our own thoughts about our own lives. all of us are just living our own lives in our own ways. *finger guns back* aren't we all just people?

YES! the contrast between what each of them are talking about omg. he really does try that in sidewalk talk, with the exception of past references being reader's food stand moments. while he's focused on his past mistakes usually, reader's looking to the future. he isn't thinking about the future because, you said it, he's holding it from himself. at least, the future we know he wants. it's like he's stuck in a weird timeframe of the past and present.. he's in both. just not the future. i love this commentary so much wow.

AHAHAH HELL YEAH. reader didn't give a shit back then (at least, from his pov) and she doesn't give a crap who he is now if she wants to bring him down a couple pegs. i knowwww yoongi found/finds that attractive as hell.

3tan yoongi is the shyest confident boy. his aura is legitimately intimidating if you don't know him and don't know what he's going through inside his mind. but around someone he kinda sorta is into? so shy. it's endearing af and i love him. if only reader knew exactly how much she means to him... yoongi if you don't do something, move over bc i'm coming for reader mySELF LOL

OH MY GODDD i'm so glad you brought up those moments in Stay! bc yes, we can already see that shyness coming through! him getting a little flustered when reader called him hot/unfair got me kicking my gd feet dsdkfs if reader only KNEWWWW I WANNA SCREAM. yoongi loves his privacy and boundaries, so when this one person didn't cross them when they had plenty of opportunities to? of course he's gonna start thinking some type of way. especially if they're also caring and smart and just a good person..

DKHVDKF i'm just gonna say.. i'm not holding anyone's hand through 3tan9 LMAO i'm just gonna sit there while y'all read it. and you'll see why when it drops ahahahahahahhelpmehahahah. but real talk, i'm glad and honored that you trust me. we all know there's more to come, including angsty moments, but no sad endings<33

WISHING YOU ALL THE LUCK WITH JOB HUNTING!! omg that's so exciting :D you can do it i believe in you with all my heart. thank you so much for this fantastic review and have a great week!

#another essay!!!! #damn y'all #i love you #🚌 anon #lovely people #asks:3tan #3tanDS #*ryenfictalk #mailbox💌 #long post

[ibuki-loves-you]

Hey! I LOVE THE MIKAN PERSONALITY THING YOU DID! AND AS A MIKAN KINNIE THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!! I was wondering if you would do the same with the THH but with a reader who acts like Ibuki? My kinnie heart would THRIVEEEE <33

Some days you do tire him out a bit

“Good nom nom nomming!” “Good morning, S/O!”

Makoto is all for your eccentric fashion taste

He thinks it makes you unique and different from others, which is awesome

Share your music with him!!!

Even if it’s loud, Makoto will listen with you!

You never fail to make him happy

Leon:

OH MY GOD DON”T EVEN GET ME STARTED-

You and Leon are perfect for eachother

Leon can most definitely keep up with your hyper ass

“Good nom nom nommin!” “Good nom nom nomming to you too babe!”

Leon loves your fashion taste

Like please

He’d love it if you dressed him up

MONSTER DRINKING COMPETITIONS

Leon is a music man, we all know that

Please teach him music

It’d make his entire life

“So it goes like this?” “Yup yup! You got it!” “Awesome! Thanks baby!”

Couple goals

Mondo:

Like Leon, Mondo is another one who you are very compatible with

Chaos? Chaos

Mondo does not give a flying fuck that you are hyper

If you’re doing something chaotic, he is the boyfriend that’s cheering you on

“Good nom nom nomming, Mondy!” “Mondy? Whatever. Mornin, babe.”

Everyday Mondo has to tell you how good you look

Like he will not lie, he loves your fashion sense

“You look smokin’ today babe.” “Why, thank you thank you!”

Mondo doesn’t want to learn how to play an instrument, but he’d love to listen to you play!

He would definitely have you play for his gang if you were up to it

Byakuya:

Byakuya acts aggravated but he secretly finds you pretty adorable

He admires that you have no problem expressing and being yourself

“Good nom nom nomming, Byakuya!” “Good morning, you insufferable human” “You love me!” “Shut up.” “That wasn’t a no~”

Byakuya doesn’t mind your fashion taste, but you wouldn’t catch him dead wearing your clothes

“You look homeless.” “Do I look like a hot homeless person?” “...No comment.” “YOU HEARD IT HERE, FOLKS! MY BABY DOES THING I’M A HOT HOMELESS PERSON!”

He doesn’t like loud music, but if you listened to some softer things he wouldn’t mind listening

Chihiro:

Chihiro thinks you’re awesome!

He does have difficulty keeping up with you sometimes, but that’s not too much of a problem

When you greet him, you usually run to him and scoop him up in your arms

“Good nom nom nomming, baby!” “G-Good morning, S/O. Hehe!”

Your fashion taste isn’t for him, but he thinks you look adorable

“D-Do a spin! Yay!”

Chihiro doesn’t like loud music, since it scares him, but if you have softer songs he’d love to listen

Make him a programming playlist please he’d love it

Taka:

Taka has definitely scolded you a couple times

But nonetheless he thinks you are quite unique

“Good nom nom nomming, Taki!” “Good morning, S/O! Great enthusiasm! Also, why the nickname?”

Taka thinks your fashion taste is cool, but it’s definitely not for him

If you really wanted, he’d let you dress him up, but he’d be very very reluctant

Loud music also isn’t his style, but he’d listen to it if you really wanted him to

“What is this? It’s so loud!” “It’s Y/N’s favorite band!” “W-Well, if you like it, I suppose it’s fine.”

Taka is very in love with your hyper self

Yasuhiro:

You do you, man!

Yasuhiro thinks you’re amazing!

He’s cool with your entire personality

“Good nom nom nomming, Hiro!” “Good nom nom nommin’! Heh, that’s funny.”

Fashion? Yes

Hiro wouldn’t wear your style of clothing on an everyday basis, but if you wanted to dress him up he’s all for it

“Go for it, babe!”

Loud music? Cool!

Hiro likes all kinds of music, heavy metal is no exception

He’d head bang but then get dizzy and fall down

Then you would fall too

Because you can’t leave your boyfriend hanging :)

[houndin-around]

First off I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone that follows me and deals with me 🥺💕 I kinda can’t believe I’m at 100? I have a lot more up coming so bare with me!! I also wanted to try my hand at writing a few headcanons for some of our favorite boys involving how they handle their emotions when they first find that special one! Will do some more later! And since I reached 100 followers I will also be releasing some of my world-building headcanons about my CEO Maul AU that is in the works!

Wolffe- This boy gets extremely, overwhelmed with his emotions and in turn, he begins lashing out at others accidentally. It's simply because he doesn't understand how to control all these new emotions he's experiencing and he's confused and scared. After all, he's not even supposed to be feeling like this so he feels as if he's failing:

*Ever since you convinced Plo Koon to aid his men to Aleen for support, Wolffe has started feeling weird. Any time you tried to approach him though, he was rather reserved and sometimes gave you the cold shoulder. That is until you kept pestering him and eventually broke that beskar like a shield he had up.

*He doesn’t understand what it is, and he’s convinced he’s picked up a bug or something while planetside. Though he refuses to admit being sick and keeps it to himself.

*Part of him doesn’t understand why he has the constant need to get off 24/7 either, and somehow his mind always ends up wandering to you.

*Maker is he spiraling in the hell of feelings.

*During a skirmish with the 501st, he starts lashing out at Boost more than usual because it’s a “life or death” situation, and any mistake they make during these drills reflect on the battlefield. Even though it’s just a friendly game Skywalker organized to keep the troopers entertained but also practice strategizing.

*As days pass, and the more you’re around Wolffe begins secluding himself more. Trying to deal with the weirdness he’s experiencing, still not able to pinpoint what the hell is going on with him.

*“Good you’re here.” When Sinker manages to locate his Commander and he barges into his quarters while starting to interrogate him.

*Wolffe felt like a blaster shot got him right in the chest. He felt like he couldn’t breathe, knowing he couldn’t escape Sinker’s questions. The commander hadn’t even noticed his emotions were controlling his behavior he was too wrapped up feeling like a defective clone.

*Wolffe knows clones weren’t supposed to have feelings, only to do their duty by serving the republic and that was it. Not even allowed to have possessions and yet, the idea of you being his was something he couldn’t suppress. It was wrong but anytime any other man spoke to you, held your attention he longed to stun them with his blaster.

*Eventually, Sinker was able to get Wolffe to unravel everything he was hanging onto. At first teasing, the commander was his first instinct, however, once he noticed how uncomfortable and shrunken the man in front of him was he immediately began comforting him.

*Wolffe made Sinker swear not to tell a soul, in exchange for relentless teasing and inside jokes between the two now. Something Wolffe “hates” but it’s better than everyone knowing, especially you while he gets all the advice from his brother on emotions, love, and most importantly how to get you in his grasp.

*“Kriff Wolffe, I’ve never seen you blush so much,” All Wolffe could let out was a low growl, eyes too focused on you walking down the hallway. Just the way you smiled and greeted him left him in a trance. “Guess that’s why they call it puppy love! Get it, Wolffe! Maybe we should just call you Wolffe Pup!”

*“Cut it out di’kut.” He hissed, walking away to escape to his quarters.

______________

Echo- This precious baby is worried he's not good enough for you. He's super shy and just wants to treat you the way you deserve is that too much to ask?

*100% hopeless romantic, but not sure how to execute it.

*This boy is SOFT. But he’s not one to seek out that attention for himself, he just wants to bask you in that attention, making you feel like you’re his whole world. Because you are. He’d do absolutely anything for you. But in the beginning, it was hard for him to even consider himself worthy of your love. He never knew what love actually felt like until he met you, but he was always intrigued by the idea of love.

*When he first locked eyes with you, it was in a cantina on Tatooine. Wrecker insisted on checking the planet out to scope out any odd bounties to take care of since there were no current missions.

*Of course, once his eyes met with yours that was it. A chill ran down his spine, and his cheeks were dusted with a rosy hue. Butterflies filling his stomach. Once the rest of the bad batch caught on, boy did they give him hell.

*Majority of their time on Tatooine, Echo would wander off by himself into town in hopes to run into you, but knowing damn well he wouldn’t try anything. He was far too scared and self-conscious about it. Especially after meeting the Techno Union, he didn’t feel worthy of your time, didn’t feel like he deserved anyone. He felt like a monster.

*If he wasn’t looking around for you, he was sitting outside the bad batch ship, prosthetic knees pulled into his chest as he pondered the true meaning of love. Considering the possibility you are what most call a “soul mate.”

*All the secret reading of holo novels and never prepared him for the true experience and now he’s left alone with his thoughts. Hatred building at all his imperfections he now has.

*Tech at one point tried to explain the whole biological basis of love and theories supporting it, but that only made Echo’s head spin. On the other hand, he had Wrecker in his ear on the vulgarities of love. Though, because these troopers were different, they didn’t discourage their brother either. They fully supported whatever would make him happy which only made him think of Fives even more. Fives would know what to say and guide him in the right direction because after all Fives always had civies swooning over him.

*“For Fives.” He’d repeat over and over, trying to muster the courage to even approach you at the market. Echo wanted his brother to be proud of him for stepping out of his comfort zone in an attempt to discover if what he was truly feeling was love.

*Even though he was embarrassed to admit it to himself, he attempted some of Fives’ pick up lines but when the words tumble out of his mouth…they sound more like rambles, managing to forget the important parts of said pick up lines leaving Echo red and more flustered

*He’s honestly so precious trying to follow in his brother’s footsteps. Even if he’s making a fool out of himself, the giggle he gets from you is so rewarding that he keeps coming back to your vendor stall.

*The way he sees you look at him like he’s not broken and defective based on his cybernetics makes his heart leap. He finally found someone that hasn’t pitied him or trying to fix him.

*This is love. This is without a doubt the definition of love he was searching for. Crosshair was wrong. Soul Mates did exist, and it was you. Maker was it you, and he will do his best to try and show you how much he cherishes you as he learns more.

________

Fives- This man doesn’t stop at anything!! We all know he’s a popular man, but when that one special someone has his heart that’s it. He’s 100% devoted and will try to win their love every single day as if its started all over again. His pick up jokes are hella corny though and I will die on this hill!

*Confidence!!! Need I say more? Especially after a few drinks at 79s.

*This man will not hesitate to invade your personal space and whisper sweet nothings in someone's ear. Except when he tries it on you? He earns a swift smack to the face, damaging his ego a bit.

*Boy, the look on the rest of the 501st’ face should’ve been holorecorded. He’s NEVER rejected. But you weren’t the type to entertain drunk strangers. Despite the embarrassing encounter, Fives is plotting another scheme to get your attention. Although let's be honest, he’s always scheming!

*Even though he has a pretty high body count, it never meant anything to him. Just some stimulation and stress relief. However, that all stopped when he laid eyes on you. He swore to himself that he’d do everything in his power to be with you. But not just intertwined in the sheets, no, soul and all, hand and hand.

*Fives has heard about love before, but he never really thought he’d find someone who made him feel like that. If he was being honest with himself, he was kinda skeptical about it. After all, he didn’t really know anyone who experienced it. At least he wasn’t aware.

*It took him quite a few days of talking in the mirror and hyping himself up before he dared to try again before it dawned on him you may not even be there again. This kind of sends him spiraling a bit, anxiety starting to creep up on him like a Rishi Eel.

*One thing about Fives though is he’s determined. He was willing to wait as long as he possibly could to cross paths with you once more in hopes to patch things up and catch your attention. Some of the boys had Kix check up on their brother as he was constantly rambling to himself, thinking about all the possible scenarios he’d had with you at 79s. He managed to convince everyone he was fine though, just strategizing.

*His second attempt at winning you over went a little something like this; You were leaning against the bar, talking to a friend while he waltzed up to order a drink. He notices your friend begins to nudge you, only for you to roll your eyes once you see who it is. Of course, he’s got that stupid grin on his face, ready to work his magic. “You look tired darling.” His mouth hovers over the brim of the glass, eyes locking with yours. “I’m fine.” Your eyebrow raised, curious as to what game this clone was playing. You had to admit he was ballsy and hot…in an irritating kind of way. “Hmm...Surprised.” Fives mumbled taking another sip of his Trandoshan ale, “Cos you’ve been running through my mind all day.” The friend next to you ended up spitting her drink on the floor and your face beat red and not because of the alcohol.

*Once he laid out that card, that was it. He locked you in and you had no choice but to give him some of your time.

*Just the way he admires the words tumbling out of your lips, all attention on you, is surprising. Here you thought you had a man just wanting to slip into your pants and yet, he’s listening to your life story, asking questions about you. Your likes, dislikes, everything.

*He’s not one to admit he’s wrong, but he apologizes for his first interaction with you. Even admits that he was so awestruck with your beauty that his brain just stopped functioning.

*After several outings, his demeanor never changes. He’s so into you and remembers every detail about you. Any shift in your tone and he’s pressing you to talk about whatever is on your mind. Wanting to be the one to help you through it all.

*“Ya know Rex. I think I’m in love?” The captain couldn’t help but let out a snicker before realizing Fives is serious. “You? In love? Since when was that possible?” Fives just rolled his eyes and gave Rex a somewhat gentle push, before sneaking a peek at the holopic he has of you. Love was better than he expected, especially when it involved you.

Falling For U

Song: Falling for you-Mxmtoon, Peachy!

Iwaizumi Hajime x reader

Warning: My shot at writing and angst, swearing, fem!reader :)

A/N: Feel free to listen to the song while you read! Happy birthday hajime!

I was hanging with you when I realized I didn’t think it was true, I was surprised 

.

It was the practice match with Karasuno when Hajime realized what he felt towards you. The bubble of feelings that were held strong in his chest everytime he thought about you. Or the clamminess in his hands when you would talk to him, the hitch in his breath when you would get close enough for him to smell of perfume you would put on in the mornings. You were around him all the time, being friends with him and Oikawa, while also being the manager of Aboa Johsai’s volleyball team. It was hard not to feel pulled in by you. It was hard to be far away.

It was confusing for him, really. Brush the thoughts away, continue practicing, win, and continue with the day. This was a normal occurrence for him. You were just a close friend since middle school, nothing more nothing less. But when the feelings get so strong, it’s hard to brush them off. Why can’t you get off my mind-

“Iwa-Chan! Why do you look so mad? Is it because we lost? Aw! It’s okay!-”

“Shut the hell up shitty-kawa” Hajime remarks coldly kicking the rocks beneath his feet on the sidewalk, as Oikawa screeches almost hitting the side of the building.

“Guys! Can we not?” You sigh before continuing to walk just to show your frustration to the two boys in front of you. The walk continues in a comfortable silence (only because you glared at Oikawa, giving him the shut the hell up look), but you pipe up again.

“We may have lost, but it was just a practice! So don’t feel too bad Iwa! We will have them next time!” You chriped, running in front of the boys, the sunset hitting the back of your head giving you a warm aura outlining your body. A goddess Hajime thought as he looked at you as his face flushed in a light pink, painting over his sun kissed skin. Oikawa gave you a genuine smile, then joined you in trying to make Hajime feel better about what they thought was over the loss, but in reality over you.

When I found out I’ve fallen for you

.

I didn’t want to believe my feelings for you

I didn’t want to believe that I could lose you

It was a week after that practice game when Hajime realized how much love he felt for you. It was a normal day, you were hanging out with the other third years during lunch. You were sitting across from him at the table, Oikawa standing behind you, Hanamaki on your left side and Matsukawa on Hajime’s left. Hajime was eating his food, not as engaged in the conversation as you and the others were.

“So what are you gonna do after we graduate y/n-chan?” Oikawa questions while trying to shove Hanamaki so he could sit next to you,slowly twirling his finger around a piece of your hair. Haijme’s eyes meet yours as you think of an answer, and you smile at him. Once again, you made his heart flutter.

“Oh, I’ll probably stay here to help out with the market my family owns, remember?” You say as you continue to eat your lunch. Oh y/n that was one thing Hajime loved about you, the fact you were so kind and considerate. As long as he has known you, you never once changed your mind about what you wanted to do. Your family owned a small market/cafe near the school, you always wanted to make it bigger, more customers so your family wouldn’t be in debt due to all the bills. If only Hajime could be the one who helped you with that dream.

“Aw! Y/n-chan! You’re so cute! Always wanting to help others!” Hajime noticed the way your eyes sparkled, the way your face slightly flushed into a soft pink. He wanted to have that effect on you, but he decided to stay quiet. He won’t lose you, or at least that's what he wanted to tell himself.

If I told you just how I felt

.

But I can’t help it, I’m falling for you,

and I can’t quit it,

‘cause I’m stuck on you

Two weeks after your eyes sparkled, Hajime told himself he would be the person to make you do that. Outside of volleyball of course. Your eyes would sparkle for volleyball,when your favorite artist released a new song, and when you would gush about your favorite show’s new episode. He has never seen a person's words make your eyes sparkle.

Now you were at practice, filling out paperwork on the gym’s floor next to the door. The boys were in the middle, working on the drills the coach assigned.

“Okay, I’ll give you five” The coach left the gym, doing who knows what. I can do it Hajime silently thought to himself before carrying his legs towards you, one stop at a time. Each step was filled with so much force, he felt like he could split the ground to two. Your eyes met his again, but no sparkle.

“Hey Iwa! What’s up?” You ask before sitting up to face your body completely towards him.

“Nothing...just wanted to see what you were doing.” He coughed out before joining you on the ground. He turns his head to face you, before realizing how close he seated himself to you. He could practically feel the warmth your body radiated, but he didn’t mind, only if it's you. He could hear the snickers in front of him, only to give a slight glare to Matsukawa and Hanamaki. You turn your head towards him and you grin.

“Iwa, you’re sweaty and smell bad” You snicker, returning back to your work. But you didn’t move away, Hajime did. You glance towards him once more as he gets up and walks away, his stomach doing flips and turns mumbling a small “shit” under his breath. Only if you knew.

And it might be pathetic

and you might be skeptical

but I just want to be with you

“Are you okay Iwa-chan?” Oikawa laughed at his ace, only to get hit by a volleyball, it made you laugh. Hajime wondered if that laugh was for him.

Please tell me girl, could you get a clue? Or come through cause I just want to be with you

.

I’m scared of telling you how I feel

It was the day before finals when Hajime realized how scary it could be to love someone. How scary it is to love you.

You were giving the team a speech, mentally preparing them for the next day. You gathered them in a circle, Hanamaki on your left, Hajime on your right, and Oikawa next to Hajime.

“Okay, everyone. It’s been a good year for us! I want to let each and everyone of you know how proud of you guys I am. You guys are the best team I have the privilege of managing. It’s definitely not easy to do. You know those crazy Oikawa fans I have to deal with, or to set up practice games with other schools, but I will never regret a single bit of any of it. You all are my boys, and I love you all very so much. Even if it means I have to deal with your crazy shit you guys pull, I would do it forever. So let’s win nationals! Let’s go out with a bang!” You yelled putting your hand in the middle, the rest of the team followed suit shouting cheers. Hajime placed his hands on top of yours, looked at you, your eyes finally sparkled. Maybe he shouldn’t be so scared. Loving was a beautiful thing.

.

After the speech you all went to your family’s shop to get some dinner, a small ritual you would do after practices and sometimes games. Everyone left one by one till it was only Hajime, Oikawa and you. The three of you walked out, under the stars. The boys decided to walk you home, because who knew when the next time you guys had a night out after volleyball practice would be. You all fell under a comfortable silence, you walked in front of the boys.

“Are you guys excited?” You spoke softly, turning around to face the captain and ace. Hajime could see the air come out of your lips due to the cold night.

“Of course y/n-chan” Oikawa smiled at you softly, taking your hands and playing with your fingers, it was a habit for you both to be affectionate, but this was different. It made Hajime’s heart hurt.

“What about you Iwa-chan? Are you excited to beat everyone?” He asked quietly, smiling at Hajime who has now stopped walking.

No. Not like this. I was going to tell you, why couldn’t this wait? Why now? They’re just friends, right? Millions of cruel thoughts raced in his mind, mixed emotions hitting him left,right,up,down but the worst was yet to come. Anger and sadness fueled him now.

“Haji?”... He didn’t respond to you, it was almost like he was looking past you. He was clenching his fist so hard, his knuckles were turning white.

“Hajime? Are you okay?” The concern in your voice is evident. Hajime knew he shouldn’t feel upset, he knew that. But how could he feel when two people he cares for the most are together? It’s not confirmed but anyone a mile away could tell without a second glance what's happening between the setter and manager. He shouldn’t want to punch Oikawa as much as he wants to right now. He didn’t know the feelings he felt towards y/n, so why must Hajime feel like he is the one at fault?

“I’m going home, I’ll see you both tomorrow. Sleep well.” Hajime turned the corner, the yellow lights of the building escaping his vision. If he were to stay any longer, who knows what he would have done, scream his anger away? Punch his feelings out? Or should he just take it out on the volleyball at his house? He drowned out the calls of Y/n and Oikawa.

Maybe it’s better if I just try to conceal the truth,

for me and for you

“Tooru, is Haji okay?” Your eyes widen at the sudden disappearance of your close friend.

“It’s okay love, maybe he had to do something?” Oikawa would be lying if he said he knew what was wrong, I mean who would’ve guessed that the short-tempered ace would ever fall in love with the soft spoken manager of the team?

“Oh, I’ll text him when I get home. Would you like to maybe watch a movie or do you think you’ll be too tired?” you replied, trying to get your mind off of the situation. Oikawa takes your hand fully, bringing it up to his chest, letting you feel his heartbeat.

“One movie should be fine y/n-chan” He smiled, one more before leaning in close to you, closing the small space and taking your lips between his. You smiled grasping his hand and sliding your fingers between his. Little did the both of you know, Hajime stayed at the corner of the building, watching, trying to deny his suspicions. He begged and prayed to be wrong, and in the end he was right. At least he got to see your eyes sparkle one last time, even if they were never meant for him.

I’m still falling for you

My Mortal Enemy

Find it on Ao3

Summary: I saw a tumblr post that said, reader insert fic but make it about being enemies instead of lovers, and I immediately came up with this. Read either as an OC or yourself as you go about your day, and finish by curb stomping Sasuke. First chapter is an OC, inspired by the writing style in My Immortal. The second chapter is the same plot but reader insert, inspired by cringey wattpad writing.

A/N: Repost bc i hated the format it was in before. In case it is not clear, this is satire, anyway hope it makes you giggle, also ao3 has a reader version in chapter 2, its the same thing but y/n instead of the oc

I, Blake Dracon’ia Lunacy Crow Wentz, woke up in my cozy bed in Konoha and turned on my favorite Waterparks song (A/N: I know they don't exist in the Naruto world but suc my pp i can do what i want XP) No one else I know listens to them, but I guess I'm quirky like that. I got out of bed and looked in the mirror, I have long midnight black hair (which matches my soul xD) and have two different colored orbs, one pink, and one that's almost darker than my hair. I then turned my attention downward to my big ol’ honkin tiddies. They have been huge since I started puberty when I was 11, now I am 18 and they are impossibly large. Continuing downward I saw my tiny, 24 inch waist; that in combination with my humongo tiddies and juicy earthquake creating ass made me the object of every boy’s attention. I mean my cheeks are just constantly clapping as I walked it made being a sneaky ninja so hard DX, like if I were to run or twerk it would cause a 8.0 earthquake, and if I were sprinting or throwing it back for a real one, it also creates a sonic boom, shattering every eardrum in a 100 yard radius. All of these problems are manageable tho bc I have the tightest, moistest, Gorilla Grip™ coochie, like it sounds like a fresh pot of Kraft mac n cheese.

Then I got changed into my favorite clothes. I put on a v-neck fishnet bodysuit and black Sleeping with Sirens crop top, which was just the right length to cover my nips, and show off the tattoo on my stomach that said “For my vampire boyfriend’s eyes only” with two arrows pointing downwards and upwards. I also put on cute pink leather assless chaps with a lot of chains on them, with a checkered studded belt to hold them up. Then I pulled on my ginormous 12 inch stilettos that have skulls and glitter all over them (If you think the way she dresses is “slutty” then get da hell out of here!!!!) Then I put my super long black hair into high pigtails which made me super Kawaii!!! And then I did my make up. Yes I put on makeup, but not for anyone, I do it for me, so that the outside matches the inside. I used stickers and blush to make it look like there were heart freckles on my face and I put my eyeliner on so that it looked super sharp and pointy. I also made my lipstick look like I had just eaten a cherry popsicle, so it was super concentrated in the center and faded out. To finish off the look, I put on my ninja forehead guard, but tied it around my super tiny waist and I was ready to go out and get groceries.

I had finished getting my groceries, which were mainly dumplings, takis, and Monster energy drink, when I saw HIM, my mortal enemy, Sasuke Uchiha. Ever since the academy, we hated each other, it was a constant battle to see who was more angst, emo, punk, and goth than the other. He doesn't even care about his friends!!! So not punk or Cash Money! I mean I also had a tragic backstory. My dad was an Uchiha, who had an affair with a Hyuga, meaning I was born with both types of dojutsu, then when I was two, they were both killed by Madara Uchiha, who then watched over me until the actual Sage of Six Paths beat him up and he gave me the Rinnegan, and made me capable of using all the powers of the tailed beasts (even the ten-tails!!;!!,.!!) And no, despite all of this I am NOT op. Point blank periodt!!!!

Anyway Sasuke and I caught eyes because the clap of my ass cheeks alerted him from across the street, and he ran towards me activating his sharingan/rinnegan. But he was too late, had already used my Super Speed Shadow Asscheeks Jutsu, causing him to go deaf, and I activated my Byakugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan Combo eyes. (I can use them all individually but this is my mortal enemy, so I can't take any chances >:3c) Because of my dojutsu. Sasuke just stood there, and I used my taijustu skills to beat the shit out of him.

By now we had attracted a huge crowd, Naruto was there, looking mad because I was beating up his boyfriend (If you dont think theyre boyfriends then you're homophobic!!/11) Sakura and Ino were also there clinging to each other for safety because while they used to like like Sasuke, they realized over the 4th Shinobi war that they were actually in love with each other and got married as soon as the battle was over!! (If you dont think Sakura and Ino would be girlfriends if Kishimoto actually knew how to write a well rounded female character then you’re still homophobic!!!) Then from the crowd I heard Shikamaru and Kakashi and Kurenai cheering me on!!!

“Yes girl curb stomp the shit out of him!!!”

“Show him who’s boss!!!”

“Teach him about what a Poser he is!!! He doesn’t even know who Brendon Urie is !!!!!”

That line got me really mad, How can you even pretend to be emo or punk without knowing who Brendon Urie is????????!!!!! >:^(((. So I concentrated all my chakra into my fist, (like Tsunade but came up with the move first!!!!) and Pummeled Sasuke in the solar plexus, and he flew off into the air, up in the sky to space, a la Team Rocket (If u dont kno who they are then ur the biggest chump ever!!!!!) And then Sasuke came back down and said that I was the most goth, emo, punk person in the whole Land of Fire, and apologized for not knowing who Brendon Urie is. I wish he stayed up in space, but that would’ve made Naruto sad, and he’s my 6th cousin 9th removed, and keeping my friends and family happy is part of my Ninja Way! Believe it!

KNNW Translations 1

Tokyo Living 4 (hearts)  /  What even is this life?

Father's workplace (visit)

So I thought I'd do something a little different and translate the texts, notebook and diary entries from KNNW. While it's clear enough who is writing because they've color coded the phone entries, I wanted to do this for a couple reasons. 

1. I'm a huge fan of epistolary as a shippy trope (And then they were pen pals!) and just as a writing technique in general, as you can show how your character thinks and feels in text that is basically dialogue directed to a specific person. While the audience can “hear” them seemingly talking to each other in the film, as the voice actors read aloud the key points of the diary entries and warnings, they were actually communicating only through the notes and sharpie scrawls they left the other. 

2. There is extra information coded in there that you will miss if you can't read Japanese. 

3. This meta totally counts towards the language/translation square for Trope Bingo. LOL So here is the content of those extra written messages, in case you wanted a little more depth to the movie. Feel free to message me with corrections- I think my Japanese is pretty decent, but I’m not a native Japanese speaker/reader.

The first hard evidence of the bodyswap for Mitsuha is left by Taki in her notebooks. Poor Mitsuha! Look at her carefully organized, thorough notes! And then Taki just scrawls all over them.

                                      Who the hell Are you?!

(I know the official subtitles say “Who are you?”, but Taki isn't actually that polite.)

There are a couple meta reasons behind the Japanese language lesson her teacher is giving in the background as Mitsuha puzzles over Taki's question: not only is she explaining about tasokaredoki/katawaredoki (twilight) as foreshadowing for later in the movie, the two kanji in the compound word for twilight (tasokare  誰そ彼) mean “Who” and “He”. So this scene is not only giving the audience the background that “twilight is a mystical time of neither night or day”, but it's also adding echoes of “Who (is) he?” in the textual clues, over and over. She literally writes kare wa dare (Who is he?) on the board even though she's saying kawatare(doki) a synonym for twilight. This whole scene makes my geeky heart happy because it's just so cleverly done.

                                                        彼は誰 ?

The next note is from Mitsuha to Taki, in his phone with plenty of emojis:

“(My) Friends are kind, and I'm actually rather handsome! It was hard work, experiencing a shift at a restaurant, but it's really as exciting as a movie here! (pleased face)

Thanks to my mistake, I've actually become friends (music notes) with the Stunning Beauty (heart) that is my sempai at work, Ms. Okudera. On the way home from work, I walked her to the station. (sparkle)

All thanks to my girly powers! (hearts)”

Taki is understandably shocked and appalled at the diary entry, but turnaround is fair play when Mitsuha goes looking through her English notebook next. (Also I realized why I was so sure Mitsuha would be a surgeon in my fic. This page passes so fast it must have been subliminal, but look at the words!)

On the bottom in Taki's scrawl: This isn't my writing!

Next page: What the hell is this?

Then his Cliff Notes on Mitsuha's life:

[Miyamizu Mitsuha?] ??I dunno??/What even is this lifestyle? (COUNTRYSIDE)

Grandmother                    

Little sister Yotsuha

Father – looks like the mayor

2nd year Class 3: (Teshi)gawara (boy)

Occult obsession

Stupid but a good guy

Sayaka (girl)

Broadcasting Club

Seems pretty quiet/mature

(Miyamizu family)

--- doing? (This is probably Miko 巫女, or Shrine maiden, referring to Mitsuha's job, but her hand covers the first part of the word)

doesn't have ---friend

has breasts (This could be a compound word I can’t guess or Taki being a perv)

Living at Shrine

Father divorced?

Seems like Mom is dead.

After this they start actually talking to each other through their phones (and yelling at each other via Sharpie), but I’m going to do that in another post! Let me know if you have any thought/questions/corrections etc!

ETA: Part 2 is here!

finale oath Thoughts

an anon asked me what i thought about finale oath, so here are my recollections from when i saw it in the theatre back in july, and also my thoughts now that i’ve had several months to think back on it:

-it was better than i thought it would be but still not, like, great. it’s easily the weakest entry in the hibike franchise, due largely to its format - s2 felt cramped because it was two books crammed into one season, this was two books crammed into one movie. characters appear and disappear once their mini-arc is finished, and tonal shifts are sudden and bizarre between these character arcs (one of them is about a girl who wants to make friends but has trouble reaching out. another is about a girl who can’t play in the band anymore because she has early onset jaw arthritis). the entire film is more or less moving from point a to point b without giving the characters much time to breathe, and kumiko’s involvement with all of these individual character arcs starts to feel kinda forced and artificial; she intervenes because she’s the protagonist, not because she as a person would have much motivation to do so - it makes me wonder if the final movement project (fingers crossed for s3) will feature a steven universe-esque arc of kumiko actually realizing how much getting involved all of these people’s lives has weighed her down.

-i know you’re waiting for my reaction to the shuumiko content. my reaction is that i didn’t hate it quite as much as i thought i would because it, to me, actually solidified that kumiko is undoubtably a lesbian. they could hardly have made a more convincing story about comphet if they’d tried (which maybe they did! i don’t know). we hardly ever see kumiko and shuichi actually “dating.” the dreaded moment from the trailers is at the very beginning of the movie and is the only time kumiko gets kind of flustered around shuichi, which is easy to construe as her just being caught off-guard. they never actually do anything that comes close to the casual couple-ness of, say, gotou and riko - hell, they sit on opposite ends of an empty train at one point, a stark contrast to how close kumiko and reina sit. reina compares kumiko and shuichi to herself and taki-sensei. the one scene that really made my skin crawl was kumiko and shuichi at the festival, but even that felt very...artificial, like kumiko was pretending. and then when shuichi drops her off at her apartment and tries to kiss her she HITS HIM WITH AN UMBRELLA I’M NOT MAKING THIS UP and then GOES UP MT. DAIKICHI TO MEET WITH REINA who says “i didn’t think you’d come” (“i thought you were with him, i thought you weren’t like me after all”) and then they talk about the future and reina says she’s worried that she and kumiko will drift apart like liz and the blue bird. shuichi texts kumiko that he’s sorry while she’s on the mountain and then we don’t see him again until she dumps him. while i still wish that it hadn’t happened at all and i could just continue to headcanon kumiko as a lesbian who’s fairly confident in her identity and is just closeted, this is probably the best thing that could’ve happened given the circumstances.

-also reina hits shuichi with a soap bottle

-i didn’t really feel one way or another about kanade - she was just kinda there, not nearly as interesting as the older characters imo, but i am glad natsuki finally sorta got a character arc.

-i’m glad motomu and midori didn’t become a couple or anything and instead midori took one look at this grumpy lad who is taller than her and went “that’s my son now”

-after the sheer perfection that was liz and the blue bird it was admittedly hard to go back to the old hibike artstyle and the slight, uncomfortable undercurrent of sexualization - did we really need a scene at the pool? did the sunfes uniforms really need to look like that? since my second-favorite anime of all time is literally kill la kill it’s not like i’m unexperienced with acknowledging the problematic elements of the things i like but it was still disappointing.

-and that tied into the differences from the novels too. it was something i noticed comparing the novel (and manga) versions of yuuko and mizore’s scene in 2x04 with what we got in the anime - in the novels, yuuko is much angrier and natsuki actually has to physically hold her back from punching mizore in the face, while in the anime she just kinda...squishes her face, and it’s a weirdly comical and “cutesy” moment in what’s supposed to be a serious scene. they do the same thing in this movie; towards the end natsuki just kinda weakly grabs kanade’s hand when she’s mad at her, while in the novel she kabedons her. coupled with the fact that they were still comfortable showing asuka’s mother (unequivocally a character we rooted against, and an older woman to boot) slapping asuka, it gives off the sense that “good” female characters (read: protags) aren’t allowed to be violent, are only allowed to be multifaceted in a marketable way, and furthermore are really only allowed to be a narrow sort of feminine, when you think about the way they changed natsuki’s design from her novel descriptions and the manga and how they changed the concert uniforms from suits to just the winter uniform.

-they got rid of kumiko’s narration throughout the movie which was kind of a bummer

-animation was still beautiful though - highlights include daikichi 3 (obviously), kumiko and kanade in the rain, and the final performance

-yuuko isn’t given much to do in this movie, but (no spoilers) she and natsuki have one of the most impactful shots of the whole thing

-and i liked how some of the characters had subtle design changes - you can tell they’re getting a little older

-“you two seem close” -mirei suzuki, visibly butch, talking to kumiko and reina

-yuuko’s crush on kaori is still very much intact

-the ending theme still slaps

-overall it was...solid, i guess? it didn’t, like, ruin the hibike franchise for me but it didn’t inspire me in the same way the series or even liz managed to do. but kumirei is still the number one ship in my heart

Let’s Talk I-Land | episode 6

I don’t get this show, I just don’t. Nothing makes sense.

In last week’s review, or whatever that was, I said that the voting system would be like this: three trainees eliminated from i-land by the mentors and three by the trainees themselves, a total of six, and that there would be a voting for who would get the i-land upgrade and fill those 6 open spots. Half of what I said was right and the other half…

The six trainees eliminated from i-land were sent to the ground were they would join forces with the kids that were already there and then perform as group of 16 (I’m confused about this number but pretty sure this was it). The trainees had to divide the song again, in a way that all 16 would have a chance to sing and be on camera. Now there will be a new voting thingy to choose 6 trainees amongst those 16.

What, exactly, was the point of the first voting? Was it just to know to how would rank first overall, by country or whatever? I think they said that the votes are cumulative from the two voting’s but I can be wrong, the subs were really weird by the end of the broadcast. So basically, how I see it, the first round of votes was just a popularity contest that doesn’t seem to have a whole lot of influence in the actual ranking.

Now for the things that happened in the episode, not that the stuff I said above didn’t it’s just that it is more of a rant than anything else. There weren’t a lot of surprises and in true mnet form the entire episode, running almost two hours longs, didn’t show a whole lot of things. So let’s just talk about the trainees who were eliminated and for the first time in this since I started to talk about this show I can actually say shit about the mentors (y’all don’t know how happy I am right now)

The three trainees who were chosen by the i-landers were Jaebom, Kyungmin and Youngbin. To be honest the chosen ones (lmao) didn’t really surprised me, I knew that if i-lander had the vote they would choose these kids. And for the first time I do agree with them. As for the mentors… they do think very differently from me and that’s not shocking at all lmao.

Let’s start with the kid that got the highest score, Jungwoon. They see him as the trainee with the most potential, the one who did the best and I don’t? I’m always a little bit confused because the way I see it he doesn’t stand out that much, if that makes any sense. Like I’m not hating on the kid or anything, this is just me saying that we think very differently.

The trainees who were eliminated by the mentors were EJ, Seon (who we got as a spoiler in the preview last week) and Geonu. What really surprised me on this was the fact that there was a debate between sending K or Geonu to the ground, because honestly, as they have said, K has done really well in all missions thus far and he wasn’t in his best condition this time around. Geonu has been selected by the trainees in all missions as the guy who gets the hardest singing parts of all songs.

Geonu is my favorite, has been since the beginning (or at least the one who’s name has been in all of my reviews this far) so yeah, I don’t want him gone but I also can’t see him coming back to i-land through popular vote (he is never mentioned). To save Geonu I would probably say that Jake could be the one who gets eliminated but he had a high score, and the mentors praised him a lot. People seem to love him so if it was really the case he would be easily saved from the ground.

My only problem with how the mentors decided who should stay and go was that it seemed like they ranked only this one performance and not the whole thing, like I thought they would. But it’s all fine, I’ll watch this hell of a show until the very end, even if my favorite gets eliminated (which is likely to happen).

My personal choice for those who could go back to i-land are: Geonu (obviously), Niki, Sunoo, Daniel, Taki and Nicholas. But, I don’t think half of them will make it, considering the stuff I’ve seen.

The one that has really bothered me on the show, since the start, is the fact that grounders don’t get a lot of screen time. There’s no here’s them getting better, working together, forming bonds and stuff. It’s just basically the performance, some half ass comments about it and done. There we done dirty. How could I ever know that Sunoo and Jaebom are actually friends that their relationship is kind of cute? (I don’t look at those cameras they have on weverse because that seems way too much like big brother to me)

The last thing I wanted to mention was Zico. He enlisted, yes? Today or yesterday. So there will be no Zico in i-land part 2 (this is how they legit are calling it, I didn’t make this shit up) but there will be BTS, which makes me wonder: will any of the members take the seat Zico has left empty? Perhaps RM or Suga, because they seem the ones who are similar in style to Zico. It could actually be any of the 7, except maybe Jungkook… I can’t picture him as a mentor or a judge of some kind.

Again, this was a very long review. If you reached the end, thank you for putting up with all the nonsense I tend to say.

Psychological Analysis #1.3

Mikami Ryouta

I’ll admit it, Mikami’s analysis will get a bit heavy cause it involves his issue with women and he has every right to be this way and I will go ahead and say this that this boy needs to seek therapy for this issue in some way or form because it is gonna have to go into the world and deal with women. Let’s start.

Mikami is a drop-dead gorgeous, hottie who hates women with a passion.

He is a very skilled fighter and does struggle in school with his grades and such, possible due to how he gained his extreme hatred of women. If you piss him off enough, he will react violently and be raised in a dojo so that’s where he got his skills. Like Shiro, nothing is said much about his interest and likes either, other than his main dislike/hatred: women. The author has already declared him as a gynophobe which means fear of women. 

Diagnosis Part 1

I’m going to be splitting into 2 parts for a bit. It’s already canon that Mikami is afraid of women, but none from his family (thank god). But I am going to go ahead and rip the bandaid off and say he might have some variation of PTSD (will discuss the possible development of it in background). During the Cafe Competition Arc,

Mina, Shiro, and Mikami were hired to be bodyguards for the cafe they went to in chapter 2. After they caught the culprit, the guy started to act like someone from Mikami’s past, which resulted in a violent reaction from Mikami himself and attacked the stalker.

This shows that obsessive behavior for someone else is one of Mikami’s triggers and causes him to want to fight the demons away. The other obvious trigger for him is women, especially ones who deem him attractive which causes him to verbally abuse them in order to get them away from him.

As I said before, Shiro and Mikami’s issues with women are similar BUT Mikami is a lot more severe than Shiro’s and a lot more violent. They are not one in the same, but the same variation of anxiety towards them, but the levels differ greatly. 

Canon Background (I will not provide photos in this section since this one is a good chunk of Mikami and it’ll only be longer if I do add photos to this one)

Shiro grew up with 3 older sisters and one younger sister, making him the only son in his family.

During his middle school days, not hating women, a lot of the guys were jealous of his face and the girls loved him. His best friend, Taki, fell in love at first sight of a girl from another school, Tsukishima. While Taki was asking her on a date, Mikami and her eyes met. On the day of the date, she left Taki after 10 minutes and went straight to Mikami’s house, saying how it should’ve been just them two but concluded that he was just shy, then left. Mikami was left wondering how she knew where he lived. Next day after school, Tsukishima was waiting there and ran to Mikami first, breaking Taki’s heart even more. Soon, almost every single day, Tsukishima had waited for Mikami to hang out and ignore Taki completely. Soon, Taki heard a rumor that Mikami and Tsukishima are dating and just decided to cancel with him last minute. Mikami started to dwell on the fact that Taki has been avoiding him lately and remembering the day the two became best friends. The memory trip ended by Tsukishima putting her number in Mikami’s phone, saying it’s weird that she doesn’t have his number yet despite being his girlfriend. Mikami rejects this delusion of hers and she just laughed, saying that he’s teasing her. He keeps rejecting her delusions and confesses on Taki’s behalf that the one interested in her is Taki, not him. She straight up insults Taki and says that Mikami does love her and says that Mikami used Taki to be with her, saying how he only belongs to her. He pushes her away and threatens her due to the fact that she insulted Taki. The next day, everyone already was giving him the cold shoulder and soon ran off from the school, running into Tsukishima’s friends, telling him to go to hell. He kept running then ran into Tsukishima herself. Her plan is that since she’s unable to have him, she decided that it’s best that he’s hated by everyone. She starts faking that she’s in pain, and in came Taki. Mikami tried to explain what's going on to him, but Taki won’t listen to reason so Mikami just ran away, wallowing in pain from being disowned as Taki’s friend and that some stranger ruined his life, simply because he wasn’t interested in her. 

Diagnosis Part 2

Time to dive more into this. I’m going to be continuing Mikami’s possible PTSD but this time with the now explained backstory of his. During the time we were given this story, Mikami had been kidnapped by an old friend of Tsukishima’s who believes that if she brings Mikami back, then her and Tsukishima will be able to be friends again.

I would like to point out that this friend started to look like Tsukishima, with the difference that this new person has freckles instead.

Mikami fully believed that Tsukishima appeared before him and almost had a panic attack, but was told by ‘her’ that she promised to leave him alone but then got tazed in the process by this girl.

I believed that girls with long black hair in twintails are one of his triggers, but that doesn’t seem to be the case since two of his sister’s has long black hair,

with the youngest keeping them in twintails,

so he might’ve been able to get over it thanks to his sisters. He most definitely kept his distance from everyone when he moved to his current school to get away from his hometown and kept his distance away from the other boys, even from Shiro and Mina at the start. But when Shiro stood up for him, admitting that he struggles talking to women,

Mikami must’ve started to grow a dependence on Shiro cause he kind of sees his old self in him: a middle school boy who’s somewhat shy around girls. The fact is that Mikami’s violent tendencies come from women who start to show attraction from him, he immediately starts being rude and threatens them to get away from him. He has grown to fear women because of Tsukishima. Tsukishima ruined a single life simply because he rejected her. This part shows how men aren’t the only stalkers out there who can’t take no for an answer, there are women as well who are just as bad as men. Mikami must’ve grown depressed during this time as well since he also lost his closest friend in the process, but possibly was able to recover thanks to his sisters, who all deeply cared about him, and probably grew even more care for him since what happened.

Mikami’s Relationships

It’s pretty obvious that Mikami is a major tsundere 

and cares a lot about his friends. As I already explained, he deeply cares about Shiro the most and just cares about Mina as much, but Mikami thinks that a lot of Mina’s ideas are stupid and shouldn’t be brought to life but if Shiro gives a vaild point, Mikami will agree to do it.

I kind of already explained his relationship with the others so this part is kinda pointless other than saying that he is a tsundere.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, I am in no way certified to give these diagnoses, after all, I’m just a guy on the web who enjoys over-analyzing everything (not). Dadadadan was one of those manga that I read for the chemistry between all of the characters. (another example being Naze Da Naitou aka Why Naitou pls give me volume 3 translations) My top favorite being Mina and Shiro has my least favorite but all 3 of them are still good boys and deserve the world! The series ended with another dilemma involving a woman, so it ended in classic Dadadadan fashion.

Do I believe my diagnoses are correct? No way in hell, but I do believe that some characters are coded to fit a certain role. (i.e shiro being the feminie-appearing shy one, mina being the otaku-2-D-only one, and mikami being the hot-head hot guy who hates women) But this series took those description of them and answered why they became this way, but only 2 of which we got a proper explanation for, while Mina’s is just he isn’t interested in anything else but 2-D. Thank you for reading this really long post! I ended writing much longer than I planned to! Sweet Dreams!

I’m a bad liar - Taki Kozaki

Warnings: Depression, anxiety, insomnia.

“I’m not leaving until you start speaking, and you sure as hell know it,” (Y/N) challenged, looking Taki in the eyes as he stood in the middle of his wrecked room, his limbs shaking - so slightly that they could almost go unnoticed, his eyes a light shade of red.

“I am fine, I was just looking for a document,” Taki lied, one hand going to the back of his neck to scratch the area, his other hand moving forward to pick up the glass of vodka kept on the table. The glass was pulled away before his fingers could come in contact with it’s surface. Looking up in irritation, he spat, “What in the world is it? Can’t you just leave me alone?”

“Looking for a document? Oh come on, Taki. You’re better than that. At least make up a lie which sounds believable, would you?”

“I am not lying. Now for fuck’s sake, can you leave me alone?” Taki sighed, running his hands through his dark brown locks.

“I don’t have the energy to banter, Taki. It’s one at night. You have bags under your eyes and your room looks as if it has been hit by a storm. You really expect me to believe you were searching for a document when you are half drunk, and when I know you’re way more organized than making a mess out of your room?”

“Please. Leave me alone, (Y/N). I don’t want to talk right now,” Taki gritted his teeth, picking up his suit jacket and heading out of the door before (Y/N) could stop him. She could only look at the closed door with her brows furrowed, her mind quickly reaching various conclusions as to what was going on with this man she had known for the last decade.

(Y/N) had met Taki as Yosuke’s one-of-the-many potential brides, with her parents far away in another country and her aunt using the opportunity to sell their only daughter for some money. (Y/N) had been in a very bad phase then, with the whole family situation unfolding before her eyes. At that time, it was Taki who pulled her out of her dark times, making her believe that it wasn’t her fault for finding herself in the situation she was in. Taki had helped her come out of her ‘potential bride’ problem, and from then on, they had become closer with each passing day. As close as best friends, even. 

They shared their problems, issues, concerns and fears with each other openly, knowing that the other person wouldn’t judge. Right now, though, Taki was doing the complete opposite. He was hiding something, (Y/N)’s gut feeling told her. She knew it was futile to try and force Taki to speak, and so she took a deep breath, trying to control the urge to run after him.

“What to do with this man…” she muttered to herself as her eyes scanned the messed-up room around her. Deciding to wait for a while for Taki to come back, she started cleaning the room, in hopes of keeping her mind distracted from reaching the worst possible conclusions about her best friend.

Her body froze the moment her eyes read the first few lines of a letter she found while cleaning and her hands clasped the paper tighter, as if showing her increasing concern. Soon enough, she had found a number of letters like the first one, written in the handwriting of the man she knew so well. The words were spitting self-hate, and each letter looked as if it was meant to mock Taki.

Suddenly feeling the urge to go check the washroom, her feet carried her to the destination before she could even register what she was doing. Her hands were busy opening and closing the different cabinets, as if knowing what to look for. She stopped her searching for a moment as she felt her hands touch something which resembled a book. Taking the said book out, it didn’t take her long to realise what it was; a journal. She took a deep breath, trying to push down the strange feeling rising in her gut, before opening the journal.

“What the fuck have you been doing, my boy,” she whispered, the blood in her veins going cold as her eyes came in contact with a familiar metal, and her breath caught in her throat she felt her fingers outline the edges of its cold, sharp body; a blade. 

What made the red flags go up in her head wasn’t the fact that she just saw a blade in what was obviously Taki’s journal, but that the blade had blood on it. Fresh blood.

Her breathing quickened as her mind immediately understood what was going on. Taking a couple of moments to calm her anxious heart down, she sat on the toilet seat with the journal and the letters in her hands. She knew reading someone’s journal was an invasion of privacy, but if it meant Taki internally being ripped apart by the demons of his mind, then privacy could go fuck itself.

()

Taki came back to find an empty place, with (Y/N) nowhere in sight. 

“It’s pretty late,” he remarked, looking at his wristwatch. Of course it is. You really think she would wait for a good-for-nothing piece of shit like you?

Taki shook his head, wanting to get rid of the dark thoughts which already felt like they were consuming him whole. Walking up to pick up his phone, he switched it on, and the first thing that popped up was a message from (Y/N): I’ll be at my place.

Sleeping. She’ll be at her place sleeping. Who would want to waste their time on you? 

“I should probably sleep,” Taki mumbled to himself. Hopefully forever.

Taki had no intention of going to (Y/N)’s place, but what he saw in his washroom cabinet quickly made him reconsider. Instead of the blade he was looking for, he found a note: My place. Right now.

()

“Is he home yet?” (Y/N) asked aloud to no one in particular, looking at her phone. The time read 2:33 A.M.

She had been sitting there, right beside the main entrance to her home, ever since the time she came back from Taki’s place. She had been waiting, or rather, hoping, for Taki to come. Something in her told her that Taki would see her note, and he would come.

Just as she was about to get up to make herself a cup of coffee, she heard a faint knock on her door. It was barely audible, but she did hear it. Without wasting a second, she got up and and turned the doorknob, only to see Taki’s back as he turned around to leave.

What kind of a poor excuse of a friend are you, Taki? She must be sleeping. What made you think she’d open the door for you? Delusional much?

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Before Taki’s thoughts could get any darker, a hand pulled him back, and into a warm embrace.

“Where the fuck were you?” (Y/N)’s words were muffled by his shirt, her eyes tearing ever-so-lightly at the familiar touch of her best friend. Relieved was a small word for what she felt right now, but it would suffice. “Also,” she pulled away, “we need to talk.”

“No, I know I shouldn’t be here.” Taki said, trying to turn back once again. “You should go rest. You’ve got work tomorrow.”

“It’s okay. I couldn’t sleep anyways.”

Taki was led inside her home and into her living room, where she made him sit down on the couch. “You better be here when I come back,” she warned, and went into her room. 

“Why do you have that?” Taki asked, alarmed, when he saw (Y/N) keep his journal and letters on the table.

“Show me your hand, Taki.”

“Why?”

“Show me the damned hand,” she took Taki’s hand and pulled the sleeves up. Even though she had mentally prepared herself for it, it seemingly wasn’t enough to stop the involuntary sharp intake of breath.

There on his arm, as she had anticipated, were numerous cuts, horizontal to his hand. Some were still bleeding, some were like a dark, ugly, mark. Some were long, some were broader and deep. One part of it was just cuts, but the other - more cruel - part was where the words were engraved deep into his skin; embarrassment, loser, failure, disgrace, to name a few.

“Why?” she asked, her body rigid, her mind blank and her eyes now brimming with tears. “Why, Taki?”

See that? YOU did it to her. 

Taki’s eyes widened, and his breathing started getting ragged with each passing second.

You KNEW she had depression in the past, and yet you did it.

Light started fading out from the corners of his vision.

You KNEW it would affect her, and yet you did it. 

Sweat lined his forehead.

You KNEW it may trigger her, and yet you did it. You showed her your lowest, shittiest self, and yet you expect her to deal with you?

“Taki?” (Y/N) called, noticing the change in his behavior.

You think she cares? His head started to spin.

“Can you hear me, Taki?”

You think anybody cares?

“Taki?!”

‘Cause nobody does. She doesn’t care, just like she shouldn’t.

“Taki, please stay with me. Talk to me. Tell me what’s wrong but please stay with me.”

Even your dad didn’t care, did he? He could hear (Y/N) calling out to him, but he was too tried to respond. He was too exhausted to listen to anything but his worsening thoughts.

You’re a fucking disgrace. Your mom hated you, you know that?

“Taki, fucking say something.”

So did your dad. He left that debt on you not because he couldn’t repay it, but because he wanted you to die. He couldn’t manage to bear with you, so he left. Just like everybody else. “I know…” Taki mumbled.

“What?”

You can’t do anything. You’re good for nothing. Everyone pities you. You’re a fucking disgrace. A freaking black spot. “I know, damnit…”

“Taki, what did you say?”

Even now, you only care about money. You incompetent rascal, you can’t take care of anything; not your father, not your friends, not anybody.

“Can you hear me?”

You used women to pay off your debt. What a bloody gold-digger. “I can’t breathe.”

“Taki, okay, breathe in. Listen to me, okay?”

Even now, you’re taking advantage of (Y/N). You’re taking her for granted, abusing her care and affection. “I’m scared, (Y/N)”

“There’s nothing to be scared of. I am here with you, right? Now, breathe out.”

You let everybody down. Do everyone a favor and just die. Nobody wants you. Nobody loves you. Nobody cares.

“Breathe, please.”

You know why?

“Taki, please respond to me. Say something, anything, please.”

Because you aren’t worth it. “I KNOW! I KNOW I AM NOT WORTHY! JUST FUCKING STOP!”

“TAKI!” (Y/N) yelled, pulling Taki to her by the shoulders. She patted his back repeatedly, chanting the word ‘breathe’ like a mantra.

Taki seemed to slowly return to his senses as he felt sweat drip down his brow. He touched his face, only to feel fresh tears streaming down his cheeks, his voice hoarse after a battle with himself. His legs gave out, and he would’ve fallen to the ground had (Y/N) not been there holding him, protecting him, shielding him and being the anchor he desperately needed.

“I’m here. It’s going to be okay. You’ll be fine.”

()

“I’m sorry,” Taki looked at (Y/N), a self-depreciating smile lining his face, “I should’ve shown more maturity instead of barging in at your place so late.”

“You really want me to slap some sense into you, or what?” (Y/N) spat, placing the warm brandy tea in front of him.

“I am an asshole, ain’t I?”

“You know what,” (Y/N) pulled his face up to make him look into her eyes, “you should not let your anxiety, overthinking and insecurity talk for you.”

Taki couldn’t help but nod, slightly embarrassed at how she had caught him in his dark web red-handed.

“So, what happened? Why do you think you’re an asshole?”

“Why do you think dad left? I couldn’t even be a good son,” he scoffed, “He clearly couldn’t wait to leave me alone. The debt was just the perfect excuse.”

“Nah, I think you should be proud. he left the debt on your shoulder because he knew you were capable enough to handle it better than him.”

“I used women to pay off the debt. I ruined everything,” Taki rolled his head back, breathing heavily, “I’m a monster.”

“No, you are not,” (Y/N) pulled him by the chin, looking into his eyes, “The women were willingly with you. You didn’t force them, did you?”

“Stop trying to give excuses, (Y/N). Look, even now, I am taking you for granted. I am taking advantage of our friendship to speak out my woes.”

“Listen here, you fucking idiot. I’m not your acquaintance. I am a friend. Helping you soothe your woes is a part of the deal, get it?”

After debating for about an hour on whether Taki was a monster or not, Taki finally chose to gave up, not having any more counter-arguments for (Y/N).

“Okay, fine. I concede, alright?” Taki stated, laughing at how utterly defeated he was.

“Yay! I win yet another argument. You really do need too sharpen your debating skills, man.” (Y/N) got up, picking up the empty cups which an hour ago contained warm brandy tea.

When she came back, she caught Taki near the window, staring into nothing. His eyes seemed tired, his body exhausted. “You look like you need a hug,” she said, catching his attention. “May I? I promise, it’s free of charge.”

“Yes, you may,” he laughed, letting him run towards him and jump into his already-open arms.

After a moment or so of laughing, when they both finally calmed down, (Y/N) said, her voice soft, “I think you’re just afraid to be happy.”

“I guess I am.” Taki shrugged. “Anyways, I should be leaving, and you should be sleeping. It’s way too late, now,” he added, looking at the wall clock which read 3:48 A.M.

(Y/N) grabbed his arm just as he was about to pull out of the embrace, “Actually, I think you should stay here for some time.” Her tone spoke more than her words did, and he didn’t fail to catch that.

()

They both lay on the bed, with Taki’s arms wrapped around (Y/N)’s waist and his head on her stomach, talking.

They talked about their work life, friends, meetings, projects, food, paintings, bucket lists along with a ton of other stuff.

“For how long are you planning to squeeze my guts out?” She asked, laughing, as her hands repeatedly went through his soft brown locks.

“A long time, for sure. You’re my new pillow.” he poked her tummy, making her shriek with laughter.

“That tickles, you idiot!”

“Does it, now?” he remarked innocently, poking her again, laughing along with her this time.

After they both calmed down and were about to doze off, (Y/N) called Taki’s name, catching his attention as he looked up at her.

“You know you’re not alone, right?”

“I know.” he smiled, thanking the heavens for giving him the rock he needed to have his back, the anchor he needed to keep him grounded, and the shadow which would walk with him when the world refused to.

Kings of Paradise - Yosuke Sagara MS Review (Season 1)

Yo. All I have to say is what the hell... Like, in the best way possible. Yosuke is. Well. Wow. My sister played Yosuke’s route before I did, several months ago, and for some reason I thought she told me I wouldn’t like it. Therefore, I went in a little apprehensive, but I was completely blown away by this story. I don’t even know where to begin. I thought, honestly, like his personality would be similar to that of Ota Kisaki from Kissed by the Baddest Bidder (sorry, I know I keep comparing all of them to KBTBB characters, but they remind me a lot of KOP...).

It was not.

Before I get too far into my own feelings, I would give this route a very generous 9/10. Eventually I’ll be through with characters from Kings of Paradise, and then I’ll move on to other titles. :) As I said, I was COMPLETELY blown away by this story. I was a little sad at first, considering Yosuke refers to MC as “merchandise” on more than a few occasions, and it’s a little sucky that he doesn’t start realizing her worth until clients of his start giving him little bonuses because they enjoyed her company so much. He’s got weird baggage, much like the rest of them, but he’s so clumsy about his emotions. It was so cute to watch him develop his feelings and struggle with things that were unfamiliar to him. I really loved it. The whole premise of Yosuke’s route is that MC is his “merchandise,” as in, someone he is going to train so they know how to act in higher society, in the business world, etc. I wrote down some notes while I was playing his route. I thought that he was a little misguided in the way he treated MC and viewed the world at large, but that he had genuine intentions of wanting to find her a man that would make her happier than anyone else. While I would say that he definitely views her as more of an object in the very beginning, he very quickly starts seeing her potential and the character that lies beneath her “boring” exterior and past. I know that the story needs a premise, but it really bothered me that he viewed her as property in the beginning, or an extra special bargaining chip to con the rich out of money. (Hence the 9/10.) However, I loved watching him try and change his tune, trying to make her happy, and just generally keep himself in her good graces because he cared what she thought of him. 

He is weirdly detached, almost alien, in the beginning. (Side note: please play his POV. It’s wonderful.) In the first chapter, he starts his training by trying to see how she reacts in more sexual situations, and she is not having it.

There’s no better way to get a feel for the kind of guy she likes without making a move on her, other than, you know, maybe asking her what she looks for in a man. Maybe. But what do I know? I thought this part was hilarious, and I love MC in Yosuke’s route. She’s very feisty and outspoken for a Voltage MC. Yosuke is also very flippant. If you’re into anime, which you might not be, that's cool, his attitude reminds me of Kisuke Urahara from Bleach. Flippant, noncommittal, hiding a deeper seriousness and pain, that sort of thing.

I also wrote down that he’s awkward and doesn’t really know what he’s doing, but that he’s trying his best. (For instance, when he’s in a really good mood, he likes to give people extravagant gifts, including a rather pricey antique pearl necklace once he starts falling for her but doesn’t realize it yet, but also amazing gifts to the other Paradise members.) Throughout the majority of his story, he keeps trying to set MC up with rich, powerful men (who are all crazy about her), but all her feedback on them are things like “He was nice,” or “He was a gentleman.” It’s very funny because they’re giving Yosuke crazy approval and desire to actually date her seriously. All the while, Yosuke and MC are falling for each other and not realizing it because they both have very different things on their minds. Somehow, romance is on neither of their brains so they can’t see the brewing chemistry. I like that MC is the one to kind of kick-start his heart again. However, it’s very frustrating that he really doesn’t listen to her. She says repeatedly that she’s not ready to jump from one marriage to another, or that she’s not looking for love, but he refuses to hear it, more concerned with making money (in the beginning) than whether she’s ready for whatever he has in store for her. The one who has the most promise as her future partner is a Chinese billionaire by the name of Yanghua Lee. He’s very sweet, accommodating, genuine, and gentlemanly--but the more time she spends with Yosuke, of course, the less she cares about other men. Not that she really cared about them in the first place...

He just doesn’t get that she’s not interested, and that almost makes him more adorable. Frustrating, by god, but adorable nonetheless. It’s when he and MC make love on a “training” trip to the Maldives that he starts falling hard for her, and as I said earlier, you can see it in the way that he starts buying expensive presents (like that necklace) for her to try and show his appreciation (that he’s confusing with romantic feelings). I adored watching this love grow, and watching Yosuke slowly realize his own emotions. He is awkward, and he is clumsy, but I also said that his emotions and his intentions and feelings were genuine ones. I really feel that. He’s a bit...childish, but more in the way that he doesn’t know how to convey what he’s feeling in words, or without giving something extravagant. (Also, I just have to say that the sex he and MC have? Absolutely choice. He and Shun are on the same level, but express it differently. I’d say Shun’s is a pure, passionate loving, while Yosuke’s has those qualities, but it’s also a little more teasing.) 

Final verdict, do I recommend? YES, MA’AM. I’m having a bit of a dilemma here, because I adore Shun, and he will always be my favorite in KOP because his kind of love is my absolute bias, but Yosuke. My dude. This route? The SEX? Phenomenal. I loved this story line. I loved Yosuke’s character development, especially because you could really see him struggling with his own emotions and predispositions. Taki is one of the ones who speaks to Yosuke about his spending habits when trying to genuinely give someone a gift because he cares about them, and it’s sweet as hell because Yosuke’s so bashful. 

In the Bodies on Fire ending (I think?), he’s still so awkward with expressing what he wants and his feelings, but it’s very him. He’s really such a sweet man, and someone who needs practice expressing his love in words, but he’s a pleasure to read. Also, Yanghua is one of the best side characters Voltage has ever created--at least in the love rival department. He concedes loss to Yosuke amicably, expressing remorse that he couldn’t be the one to make MC happy (because he had developed real feelings for her), but that, ultimately, Yosuke was a good friend, and he wanted to see him and MC happy. I appreciated that more than I think Voltage would understand.

If you get the chance, and you feel so inclined, please read his story. It really is something I haven’t yet experienced in a Voltage game. (As another aside, I love that KOP is extremely mature for what Voltage usually puts out. I’ve been very impressed and enthralled with the content of these stories since I started the game.)

Happy playing!

Kings of Paradise - Taki Kozaki Season 2 Review

Hey everybody! I’m back with Taki’s season 2! Wow, I didn’t expect him to drop right off the bat into November, but here we are. I really like Taki, so I was looking forward to this. I’m happy to report: THIS WAS AMAZING. There will be some spoilers for the first episode, which you get for free anyways. 

Let’s break it down!

OVERALL RATING: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

ART/MUSIC: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (Music is only okay, but the CGs are sizzling!)

STORY: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

STEAMINESS: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (NOT A TYPO)

LOVE INTEREST’S LIKEABILITY: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

MC’S LIKEABILITY: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

DO I RECOMMEND THE ROUTE: YES. SO MUCH YES! Especially if you are a fan of Taki, you will want to pick this up. I screamed. I laughed. My heart was warmed. I am satisfied :’)

We actually start off with a prologue, which gives a brief summary of the S1 events, including the side stories, which is pretty cool for those of us with memories like sieves (me). Also useful if you haven’t purchased the stories yet!

Jumping right into the story, we see MC is actually fitting in pretty well with the gang. It’s really heartwarming to see the little moments between MC and Taki:

She’s really come into her own and is more comfortable in her new life. It’s nice to see her being more confident, especially after she was rather weak (understandably so) in season one. Can I just say, the message behind this game is so heartwarming; just because you get divorced, it doesn’t mean you can’t start again and find who you’re meant to be with. Between this and IYAT, like, my soul is full. :’)

So, the basic story is: MC and Taki are going on a trip, to the same place MC went with her ex to “rewrite the memories” with happier ones! Taki is his typical rich person self (though he’s definitely softened up some ♡), flying them on “Suite Class” which is… above first class and costs $30,000 a trip. Ah, what a life. He’s making good on this promise:

I’m rolling my eyes at that term, lol.

Anyway, turns out, MC’s ex is also on this trip. Dun dun. And he’s with the other woman!

I was actually not expecting that at all; I dropped my phone and went “OH.” Obviously, I am addicted to this drama (any other kdrama fans out there get me?)

Without giving anything away, I want to say I really appreciated many aspects of this route. MC is able to somewhat move on from beneath the turtle shell of her divorce, and to actually see and analyze her failed marriage from a different angle. She’s gained some perspective, which is so important after a relationship has ended; she’s really learning from the past. She is continuously thinking about ways to improve herself, and I really admire that. Following this adult “coming of age” type of story just gives me the warm fuzzies.

Also, MC’s best friend makes a triumphant return! I’m so glad to see them including her friendship again, as she was noticeably absent in other routes. It’s essential to have a good support system, someone you can talk to who’s not your partner.

Is it just me, or is that sprite kind of off-looking? haha.

In terms of steam, hooo boy, this story is smokin’. It is definitely continuing along this vein of stories that toe the line between explicit and non, and I LOVE IT. (Highly recommend the mini stories in this title if you want more). The Bodies on Fire ending, which is the Super Happy Ending, was… indescribable. Ya’ll are gonna have to play it because holy hell, it was SO sexy, and LONG.

And speaking of Taki, I really, really like him in season two. He’s so soft and attentive, and incredibly in love with MC. It’s a far cry from his cold exterior in season one. He and MC have this amazing chemistry together that was missing from… say Shun’s story. MC herself isn’t too bad either. She has some awesome moments.

Overall, this story was fantastic. It hit it out of the park, honestly. I enjoyed every damn bit of it, and I only gave Taki four stars the first time around for his main story! He’s now elevated to a five star in my book. I really hope the rest of the season 2 stories are just as good, because damn. This one really impressed me.

Owlet’s inevitable Natsume Yuujinchou movie spiel

Ok, so the Natsume movie. This is a collection of my impressions and things I found significant, but it is spoilery as hell so it's under a cut, so if you want the plot to be a surprise maybe don't read this. And this with the caveat that I understood the gist of the movie but my Japanese is still really, really awful, so anyone who sees the movie who can understand Japanese well (like the folks at @apta-scans) are more than welcome to correct me on any of the details.

So first off, the youkai (the main one, though there are actually three in the story). He's the spirit of an old tree, and he has the power to alter memories, and to impersonate humans and use memory manipulation to integrate himself pretty flawlessly into people's lives. And everything about him breaks my heart. There's an elderly woman in the story who'd met Reiko once when she was a teenager (who Natsume comes across because he saw her in another youkai's flashback while returning a name), and the youkai is pretending to be her adult son so that she won't be lonely. He'd been hiding away in the tree for years and years before that point, but the woman came first as a child to the small shrine beside the tree and kept coming back throughout her life, and the impression I got was that she' s unable to have children (I may be vastly wrong about that, again anyone feel free to correct me), but the bottom line is she's lonely, and he doesn't have anyone either, so he finally leaves the tree so he can give her a family. I won't say how it all pans out, but in typical Natsuyuu fashion I wanted to ugly-cry in the theater. 

Second, the mini-Nyankos, if anyone wants to know how that went down, more or less what happens is that Sensei eats fruit produced by the youkai's tree (three gourd-looking things that have little cat-ears and are striped orange and gray, hrrrrm....), and then the next morning he becomes three of himself and none of them are able talk. And the Dogs' Circle is unsuccessful at both babysitting the minis and keeping them from running away and getting lost. It becomes clear that the minis have some of the effects of the tree in making people forget things/altering people's memories (Taki finds one of them, and ultimately winds up believing she's the granddaughter of the elderly woman, and forgets who Natsume and Tanuma even are). Also. I don't need to say this but they're so cute, holy shit. 

Third, it was brief but I think that the most poignant moment in the whole movie for me is when, after it's clear that the minis are altering people's memories, Natsume wakes up from a nightmare that the Fujiwaras straight-up forgot who he was. He wakes up yelling, and he just. Scoops up the only mini-Sensei that hasn't run away by that point, wordlessly holds him close, and is just so visibly shaken. Just the prospect of it is so terrifying to him, because for him the Fujiwaras are the foundation of his entire current life and without them he's faced with the prospect of having nothing and nobody all over again. Very well-done and very *ouch*.

Fourth. Tanuma, my boy. When Natsume loses two of the three minis, and Taki's mysteriously vanished too, Tanuma asks him what's going on, he sits him down and explains everything, and accepts Tanuma's help. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, ahem. And we got, just. A whole bunch of screentime of the two of them working together to Solve Problems (and my shipping heart was thrilled). And I think it's telling in terms of Tanuma's character development, too, that when shit hits the fan and Natsume knows he's going to have to face down a Big Bad Youkai (different one, not the tree youkai), he tells Tanuma to leave and go meet up with Taki, and Tanuma immediately agrees and goes. Was it hard for him to do that if Natsume was going to be in danger? Probably. Has he learned after Omibashira that he needs to trust Natsume's judgment and recognize his own limitations? Yes, and I am very proud of him.

Fifth. Natori. He does have a legitimate plot-pertinent reason for being there (he and some other exorcists have heard of the aforementioned Big Bad Youkai and are in the town to try to stop it), and in the end Natsume does need his help to seal the youkai, but the other fifty percent of his being there is absolutely for fanservice purposes (complete with his skeevy soundtrack theme that I hate). And naturally, he shows up and tries to exorcise the tree youkai, who is not the youkai he's after, and Natsume steps in to stop him like Oh My God Why Are You Like This. However. The two reasons I was glad he was in the movie are: him laughing at one of the mini-Nyankos and then promtply (and satisfyingly) getting whomped in the face for it; and then all three of the shiki getting a chance to shine and demonstrate what sexy scary badasses they are while aiding the exorcism.

Sixth. I'm not completely clear on everything that happened here because the language barrier really got in the way here, but Natsume meets someone who at one point was a childhood friend (I think Yuki was his name?). And when Natsume goes to move towards him to say hello, the kid kind of freezes up then flinches away, and Natsume's pretty bothered by it. We get a flashback of the two of them in elementary school, and they were friends for a short time (I *think* he may have told him he could see youkai, this is what I'm not clear on, and I wanna say that Yuki wasn't bothered by it and thought it was a neat secret, but I didn't understand enough to confirm that). Anyways the two of them go off into the woods to a waterfall one day, and there's a youkai there that threatens them, and Yuki goes to throw a rock at the waterfall and Natsume tackles him to the ground to stop him. And it shows them walking back home, and they're both a little battered and dirty, and Yuki's walking way ahead of him obviously hurt/confused/mad and Natsume just looks miserable. Anyhow, the movie ends with the two of them meeting back up in the present, and reconciling (I'm not sure but I think Natsume tells him he was just lying about the youkai stuff and that he's sorry, I really need to watch the movie translated because I want to know exactly what was said). I think it's good that the movie depicted that Natsume did have people who wanted to be his friend, but that those people ultimately hurt him or didn't stay. But the reconciliation scene showed that the bad endings didn't have to stay bad (Shibata's character serves the same purpose, what a tool, I love him). 

Anyways. My general takeaway from the movie is that all your memories are crucial to who you are as a person, the bad and the good, and for Natsume personally, the bad gave way to the good and was necessary to arrive there. That's all for now, I'm probably going to see it again with a friend next weekend so I'll add more to this if I see fit but mostly I can't wait for there to be a translation available. This movie was so amazing, and so very worth the wait.

It’s the Past (Bucky Barnes)

Requested by anonymous: BUCKY REQUEST THAT I’M TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH OK the reader met bucky one day after a self defense class, she spotted him outside & let’s be honest she thought he was cute & was curious about his arm. SO they start dating (she knew about his past but had never seen him while brainwashed) & she’s with him while he’s in hiding (during civil war) & she become super scared when she’s sees him brainwashed & hurting people and he begs her not to leave him when he sees how terrified she is afterwards

I changed it up a little bit but I hope you like it! I also recommend listening to Fix You by Coldplay while you read, I wrote a majority of this while listening to the song.

Warnings: Violence

Word Count: 2,778

The first thing you remember about him was the way his gaze seemed to follow you as the class progressed. With each movement, each kick, punch and block, his icy blue eyes were trained on you, and you alone, his brown hair tucked away under a dingy black baseball cap, his large army jacket frayed at the sleeves. He was folding into himself, trying not to be seen, but you were being trained to see the people least expected. And this man, this gorgeous man with the stubble and dirty hair, he was what you least expected.

“Come on, [Y/N], push yourself,” the voice of your trainer broke through your distracted thoughts and you nodded, breathing through your nose as you threw another punch. Right, left, block, left, dodge. It was easy, routine, but it felt predictable. You needed to break the cycle, show there was something different. Right, left, left, swipe the knees, pin. You smiled as your trainer let out a surprised laugh.

“Practicing?”

Your gaze flitted back to the man in the black cap and you nodded. “You never know whos watching you. Can’t be predictable,” you said, shrugging as you helped him up and walked off to give one of the other girls a turn to duke it out with your trainer.

You walked towards the back of the line, water bottle in hand, and noticed he had ducked his head down now that you were no longer sparring. Curious, you walked over and sat next to him, using the excuse of tying your shoe. “So,” you said, your voice panting slightly from the workout. “Any notes for me?”

His eyes were wide as he stared at you, confusion etched in his features. “Hm?”

You smiled a little, “The strategy I used. I saw you watching my training.”

“O-Oh!” He smiled, a soft smile that held back his genuine happy grin. It wasn’t hard to see the pain in his eyes, but you were all too familiar with personal problems, so you didn’t push it. “Uh, no,” he said slowly and then something clicked in his mind, the training replaying in his eyes. “When you move to swipe the legs, you can’t let your gaze flick down, or your hand steady itself on your opponent's shoulder. It makes it too obvious what’s coming. Instead, do a fake out. Move into an uppercut, and then at the last second kick his feet out from under him.”

You nodded, pushing some hair from your face and took a swig of water before standing up. “Thanks, uh, what’s your name?”

“Bucky,” he replied steadily, as though that was the most important thing to him, as though that name were his lifeline.

“Thanks, Bucky. See you around.”

He watched as you left, a small smile quirking up on the corners of his lips, his heart feeling lighter than when he came in. You were strong and you fought and Bucky felt as though something in him was begging to get to know you better, to get to call you his own, but he knew it would be hard, knew you would never want to be with a monster like him.

Who would want to be with someone who couldn’t guarantee they could control their own mind?

He was always around after that day. He took up classes at the gym, always making sure he was around during your self defense lessons, his eyes locked on you as you pushed yourself harder and harder every day. It was during another one on one that he was watching, eyes focused hard, and you knew he was looking for the tip he had told you. Block, right, right, dodge, left. You saw the shift in your trainers face, saw the way his eyes signaled he was going to come closer.

You knew what you were going to do, and exactly how to execute it, and his eyes focused on you harder, drilling into the back of your head. Your right hand moved to punch, and as if time slowed, as though this was that day and you could do it all over again, you ducked at the last second, your trainer caught off guard and then he was down, your leg having kicked his knees out from under him and then you had him pinned, one arm pinning him down by his throat, one leg holding one of his hands down.

Your breathing was heavy, chest rising and falling steadily, and you had to blink a few times to remember that you were not in that alleyway, your mugger wasn’t holding a knife to your throat, your dress wasn’t ripped, there was no blood on your face. You were in your gym, with your self defense trainer. Your clothes were sweaty, your hair pulled back, not plastered to your face, and you saw your trainer. He was smiling from ear to ear. Quickly removing yourself from him, you pushed the hair out of your face, and noticed Bucky had a different expression on his face, one that was offsetting.

“Nice work today,” your trainer said, clapping you on the shoulder before he motioned for the next girl to step forward.

“Thanks,” you said, already walking over to the brunette by the doors. His eyes were nervous, his jaw clenched, one black glove remaining on his left hand, the same ratty old jacket slung around his body.

He wouldn’t look directly at you until your question surprised him into direct eye contact. “Wanna go see a movie?”

His smile was barely there, nerves obvious on his features. But the smile was there nonetheless. “Yeah. I’d like that.”

----

It was months later that you found yourself waking up in Bucky’s small apartment for the millionth time, surprised at the sight that greeted you. Captain America stood in the kitchen, one of Bucky’s notebooks in his hand, his shield slung onto his other arm.

“What the hell?”

He jumped, surprise flashing across his features. He’d seen your face in a picture on the fridge, both you and Bucky smiling happily into the camera, a genuine laugh on his features. The sight made Steve smile. He hadn’t noticed you when he entered the apartment. But he quickly regained himself, and placed the journal down, walking over to you. “Where is Bucky, um, I- I don’t know your name.”

“[Y/N]. You must be Steve.”

He nodded, “Where is Bucky?”

You shook your head, “I-I don’t know. The market maybe? Why?”

The door opened and Steve snapped his head up away from you. Bucky was standing in the doorway, only a small bag of plums in his hand and you smiled slightly- he was trying to remember more. But his eyes were dark, his posture was wrong. Something had happened while you were sleeping soundly in your boyfriends home, and you knew the presence of Steve may not help it.

Bucky locked his eyes on the notebook still in Steve’s hands, and you could’ve sworn you saw something like anger flash through his face. He never let anyone touch his notebooks, they were his safety net, the only things that kept him grounded to the world when it all seemed too much, the only thing that reminded him his life was still his own to control.

“I wasn’t in Vienna. I don’t do that anymore.” Scrambling up from the bed, you walked over to him, taking his hand in yours. His breathing steadied as soon as he felt your touch. That’s when the chaos started. You knew you’d be okay, and as Bucky and Steve fought their way through the building. Bucky had snatched his backpack up, thrown it to you and grabbed your hand to escape.

“Just like we practiced, run, jump-”

“Land on my toes and roll. I got this,” you finished his sentence, nodding as you ran down two flights of stairs and down a narrow hallway, jumping from the balcony to the rooftop below. Bucky followed quickly after, his hand grabbing yours once again and he made to run.

But it was never that easy, and despite best efforts to get away, you were both caught, Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson beside you as the CIA and Colonel Rhodes took you into custody. It was as though his worst nightmare was coming true, and he pulled you into it, instead of telling you to run away, he had asked you to run with him, he had given his heart to you, and it was because of him that you were now with a fugitive, a common criminal.

Steve had managed to keep you out of a holding cell, and it was because of this, that when the power got knocked out, you ran after Steve, desperate to save the one person who needed it most. Bucky’s life was in danger, everything he’d told you, everything he had done to try to move on from that horrible part of his life, it would be drug up by this man with the red book.

The last thing you expected was exactly what Bucky had spent so many months warning you about. You’d run in without thinking, seeing him fighting everyone around him, showing no mercy.

“Bucky! Bucky stop,” you shouted, running over to grab his hand, to attempt to stop him from hurting anyone else. Steve hadn’t see you run ahead, he’d stopped to check on Natasha, who Bucky had left gasping for air. But the next moment he looked up, and he saw you flailing above the ground, your hands clawing and his heart stopped.

All you could hear were his words, the same conversation you two would have over and over again.

“I’m not right. This- what they did- I could hurt you.”

He was right, you knew he was right and that you should listen to him, that you should run away screaming and never look back. But the way he held you, the way he kissed you on a Sunday morning, the smell of fresh coffee in the pot, the tender way he played with your hair as you were gently woken up, it made you forget all the fear inside you. You loved the man you knew, past and all.

“It’s a risk I’m willing to take,” you’d responded, taking his vibranium arm in your hands and pulling him closer to you, your lips meeting his in a tender kiss. “I want to take that risk.”

“Buck- Buck let her go!” Steve’s voice echoed distantly in your ears and you woke up enough to realize what was happening. Bucky’s vibranium hand was latched around your throat, the air leaving your lungs as you desperately tried to pry away his cold fingers. His grip tightened and it was only when Steve launched himself at his best friend that Bucky’s hand released you.

Gasping for air, deep purple marks forming on your throat, you staggered to you feet, glad to see Sam’s face, the familiar brown eyes begging you to trust him, to come with him. And so you did.

----

His arm was pinned, Steve, standing between you and your boyfriend, his body shielding yours. You knew he was shielding you for a good reason, but you couldn’t help but scowl at him slightly. “Is-Is he going to be okay?” You asked lightly, breaking the tension that had grown between you, Sam and Steve.

“I don’t know.”

Bucky had told you Steve was always more blunt. Growing up in a time where no one would listen to you if you weren’t aggressive and blunt, Steve had to make himself tougher than he really was. But one look at you, eyes locked on Bucky, desperation filing their gaze, he remembered the feeling all too well. You were pleading, just as he was, for the man you knew to come back to you.

“[Y/N], look,” he said slowly, his hand reaching out to touch your shoulder. Your hand snapped up, eyes never once leaving Bucky as you caught his wrist.

“I was dangerous before I met him, and I’m more dangerous having met him. I suggest you don’t touch me.”

Steve nodded once, pulling his hand away from you and he was about to speak again, his gaze lingering on the marks on your throat when Sam nudged him and you stepped forward. Bucky had lifted his head, he was waking up. Immediately, the pain in his left arm registered, and his eyes landed on the large machine holding his arm in place.

“Steve-”

Steve was the first one to speak, and he put an arm out stopping you from going any closer. “Which Bucky am I talking to right now?”

Bucky’s eyes found Steve’s and a small smile formed on his lips, his mind recalling a distant memory from a time ripped away from him. “Y-your moms name is Sarah,” he said softly, his smile growing and a soft chuckle escaped his lips. “You used to wear newspapers in your shoes.”

Steve smiled at the memory, “Can’t read that in a museum.”

Sam spoke up, eyes still narrowed on the ex-assassin before his eyes. “Just like that we’re supposed to be cool?”

Bucky’s eyes left Steve for the first time and they widened upon seeing you. He could see the terror in your eyes, despite claims of not caring. He could see the way you looked around nervously, as though desperately trying to find your escape route, the twitch in your hand a nervous tick he had picked up on. “What did I do?”

His voice was small and weak, his gaze flicking between the three of you, resting on Steve’s hand blocking you from running to him. He was glad for it. His arm was still itching to move. He could feel the sinister thoughts in the back of his head, fighting to come forward no matter what he did to keep them at bay.

You placed a hand on Steve’s arm, nodding lightly. Bucky watched you walk towards him, his heart aching in his chest. “N-no. [Y/N] don’t come over here.”

Your eyes met his and you saw just how broken he was, how terrified he was to have you near him. Steve stepped forward, but Sam grabbed his shoulder. “Come over here and I’ll make sure you regret it, Rogers.” You spoke without breaking your intense stare on Bucky.

Running a hand through his hair in the comforting way he always loved late at night, you spoke softly. “It’s not your fault.”

His eyes fell, head shaking. “Whatever I did, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have been- I should have stayed hidden.”

“Maybe,” you whispered. “But, you can’t live your life in fear like that, Buck. They did this, not you.”

He reached a hand out, to cup your cheek gently, an action which caused you to tense up. All you could see was him, hurting all those people, you trying to grab onto him, to wake him up, and his hand reaching for your throat. Your breathing quickened, and Bucky withdrew his hand, taking in your appearance, trying to figure out what was wrong.

He saw the blue and purple marks on your throat and he sat up straight, pulling away from you entirely. “I really am a monster.”

“No, Bucky-”

“I hurt you! I did that, didn’t I?” His eyes were wild, desperate.

“Buck,” Steve said stepping forward once again, his hand on your shoulder to pull you away from his best friend.

As the men talked, your fingers ghosted over the purple marks on your throat. He had no control, he warned you that this may happen someday, that he may hurt you and have no control in trying to stop it. But the fear that had coursed through you, that still kept an icy lock on your veins at the memory of him shoving you against the wall, his blue eyes dark and empty, showing no sign of easing up on your throat as the air left your lungs.

Your feet moved without your mind realising what was really happening. Bucky’s voce followed you as you walked away, shouting, begging for you not to walk out on him.

“[Y/N]! [Y/N], please!”

Looking over your shoulder as you walked away, you saw him desperately trying to remove his arm from the locked position he was in, his gaze breaking your heart. “I’m sorry,” you said, tears streaming down your face as you walked away from the one person who made you feel like life could start over. You walked away from Bucky Barnes and you never looked back.

[hyatoro]

Good day! May i ask for headcanons about Hiruma and his s/o(girlfriend but he never said it, yet she knows he wont leave her.) Yet this time it appeares that Clifford D.Lewis is interested in her, and he even "kidnapped her" to talk with hersince she's not some weak woman (sassy s/o , since only she can take Hiruma's shit) and well, Hiruma is not pleased with this situation. How would he react?Would he argue with Clifford about it or got mad at her?

Hiruma Yoichi

Fair warning I don’t know how anything fucking works. Cards? Skill? Don’t know her. Also it gets long. 

He’s one of the hardest fucking nutshells to crack in the world.

Yet somehow you managed to worm your way into his heart. It happened through having a constant presence in his life, something he’s always needed considering how detached he is to most things outside of football.

You never took any of his shit, which will still annoy him to this day, always having something to snap back at him should he take something too far.

You come along to America with him since he needed the help, not that he would ever admit it.

When Hiruma goes to the casino you’re the first to run into Clifford. You manage to put up a fight against him, seeing as though you’re used to reading Hiruma and other stoic players from other teams. He can tell you know what you’re doing, and he’s confused. He’s holding the best hand in the game and he knows you know, so why were you just going to stand there and let him eat you?

But you didn’t want to draw any more suspicion so you stop playing after that one round.

The next round is where Hiruma plays and you know how that goes.

Now that you know where the interest in you is established, you get mcsnatched.

Normally, you’re right by Hiruma’s side after a game plan meeting, and for you to be missing was unusual.

He then gets word that you were dragged away somewhere by the American team, but the idiots made it seem more dramatic than it was.

He whips out the tracking device to locate your phone and immediately takes a taxi to where you guys are. Sena, Monta, and Taki are riling themselves up wondering where you are. Kuroki and Togano are only slightly less concerned than them, thinking of the scenarios that could happen, only throwing the first three into more panic while Jumonji and Musashi wait patiently for them to chill the fuck out. Kurita deadass just started chasing the car but he passed out somewhere in the streets of the United States of America. (It’s ok they find him after turning a few corners).

Hiruma already has a clue to what’s going on he knows he doesn’t need ‘back up’ per se.

Once he arrives to your location he looks at the fucking name of the place and loses one of the few strings holding his irritation in. It fucking snaps cause the name of the place is some fucking cozy ass cafe for couples.

He sees you sitting at a booth sitting across from Clifford having a seemingly engaging conversation.

Ready to walk in and play whatever game Clifford is trying to play, he stops when you make eye contact with him. You point him out to Clifford, bow, and start heading for the exit.

You’re smart enough to know that Hiruma shouldn’t meet up with Clifford unplanned. Nice.

He’s standing outside the door of the cafe while you close the distance, and he would never admit it but the relief that you’re okay made his shoulders sag a little.

You two get in the taxi he made wait before you two start your conversation in Japanese.

“What the fuck was that about?” he would say, looking out the opposite window.

“He asked me if I would be interested in dating him, said I was the first girl to intrigue him.”

The fucking weight that placed itself on his chest was not pleasant in the slightest.

“And?”

“And what?”

“Your fucking answer.”

You sighed, leaning forward to rest your elbow on your raised knee, and your chin in your hand. “Why do you need to know? You’re not my boyfriend.” You kept your eyes on him, “And I told him that I was extremely flattered. He’s pretty hot, tall, and smart after all.” 

He looked at you with an emotion you almost couldn’t believe would show on his face. Uncertainty. Nice to know that even he wasn’t so self-assured about your relationship without the label.

“…”

“I told him that I had someone important to me. That this person would go to hell and back to find me, and most likely that he’d be here soon,” you said, your smile soft as you reached out to run your hands through his hair. 

“Then we just talked about football, poker, how Japanese and American schools are different till you showed up.”

His body relaxed as he sagged back into his seat.

“But I guess I am still single. He also gave me his email since international calling fees would be a pain in the butt.”

He whips your phone out of your pocket and scrolls until he finds Clifford’s contact, knowing damn well you weren’t lying about that.

“Why would you delete that? I could’ve become Mrs. Lewis for all you know.”

The next thing you knew your lips were covered with his in a possessive and mildly desperate kiss. The two of you were making out in the backseat of a taxi for the next minute. Not that the taxi driver cared. He’s used to it.

“Fuck that shit. You’re my woman and you sure as fuck aren’t going to be his.”

You cheekily grinned. “Is that a promise that I’ll become Mrs. Hiruma instead?”

“Shut your fucking mouth.”
