yato kami licking my finger cuz i got a papercut
"Yare yare. So careless, allow me to so politely assist you."
Yato no Kami is discrete. Why shouldn't he be? A dark noble of devilish delight and merit, surrounded in fallen blood, dead and alive. Pools of red follow his footsteps, the lingering rot and withering deaths of weaker Enshyoujo. Brethren at his beck and call, obedient and violent as a beast can be. He controls a whole world, winged and armed to the teeth, ready to feast at the slightest raise of his hand.
Regardless of his past misdeeds, he likes to steady himself. Keep balanced, fair but carelessly free. For his lover and the sake of his intelligence.
Minor Warning; Yato no Kami being Yato no Kami & mild suggestive themes. Spoilers for Yato's seal (Blood, blood drinking & bleeding. Paper cuts. Hints at sadism, gruesome vampire being a gruesome vampire.)
It's impossible for him to take anything too seriously, making light of the most ridiculous situations. Life is a game to his humble self, a role to fulfill. Goal reaching, to seek the pinnacle of life's potential, live as much as possible; pawns to play, foes to harm. It's simply natural to cling to happy memories, to establish yourself to pleasure and meaning.
Being an ancestral god of vampires-a lord amongst their kind-doesn't exactly lighten the overwhelming weight of his presence, nor should it be so quickly glazed over. Not that he bothers concealing it.
Yato is honest and open about his endless appetite, especially when it comes to his favored one's blood. His cravings are indeed a bother, but he minds not, for he trusts himself to never be too suffocating to his maidens. He was born with them and makes no light work of how willing he acts on them but is more than strong enough to control himself whenever or wherever he deems fit.
Blood is an important part of who Yato is, long past anything even remotely human. But he has no intention of ever wholly losing himself, not to be a creature of voiceless whispers, endless wandering and meaningless destruction.
So, when you accidently cut your finger and so innocently ask for a bandage, Yato restrains-yet can't help but jump at the chance to indulge. As merciless creatures like him always do, moving and entangling themselves in a furious cycle of addicting pleasure. Roaring like lions, drooling at the sight of carnage.
Teeth drop, lips moistened by a sharp cruel tongue. An eagle watching mice struggle in their long talons, a tiger preparing to hungrily pounce at an innocent elk. His irises narrow only a mere inch, burning an invisible hole in your hand. Tainted, barely noticeable by a fool not paying attention. Flicked delicately across a smile. Tasting the smell in the air, a void within hungers, delighting in its freshness.
His voice is unwavering despite his true intentions, deep as night and black as the abyss, glazed in the purest malice known to man. Greed and malice quake his throat, erupting in an earthly rumble so quiet you can't properly hear it. Meant to pick apart and brash forward. Reflecting the bitterness of an oncoming storm, a calamity swelling. An aftertaste of you can't describe, behind the grey clouds at the center of Skies' natural disruption. It's mark upon the Heavens, immortal, lasting.
Deciding-determined to give something else Yato no Kami insists is far more helpful.
His smirk, thin and small, is one of pleasure. Of a sweet sourness, leaving a bad taste in your mouth. A pale shadow, dark in its wisdom; sincere, overcoming. The upward twist that never reaches his eyes, a sharp contrast to his nature. And it intensifies as he eyes your cut, devouring your sight. Trained on the life resting in the depths of your finger, peaking out so very slightly. An ocean of nourishment and nutrition.
His gaze looks so simple, divine and knowing. Fast to crush, consume all unfortunate enough to cross its path. The gentle wave of dark lashes, water resisting oil, deadly darkness, capturing red. No light exists in his remorseless vanity. Only being, the deep purity of his instinct; You know better, throughout your countless encounters with the supreme monster bewitching you-how to truly look someone in the eyes. How to unveil the secret of their gaze, the windows to their soul. Assuming Yato still had his.
Little do you know Yato doesn't have secrets, there is no reason to hide his truest self from anyone or anything, curious or opposite. There is no bigger underlying principle, Yato no Kami simply is because he wants to be.
He won't foolishly deny his inhuman greed for your skin, (Especially since he knows when you can tell, reading your expressions like reading a picture book, like it's hard?) if questioned. But you seem to be burdened-thinking there is more to Yato then he is already showing, and he supposes you aren't exactly wrong to assume such of a creature of the night like him.
It is right to be fearful of things you don't understand, to try and grasp the mysterious tides of the unknown. If humans didn't fear things as much, they wouldn't have grown so advanced and paranoid. Fear is a critical tool for survival.
The fluid so rich and fresh beneath the surface of your flesh. So red, so inviting. Blood speaks volumes. Talks so dirty and filthy in desire. As mentioned before, Yato bothers not to mask his intent, but he does bother enough to hold himself back in certain situations.
And the restraint is useful of course. And someone needs to clean your mess up. It helps a great deal most times, to not completely bite off your finger as he welcomes its sliced tip onto his tongue, excited to have a taste. His grip on your hand is careful and slow, purposefully treading lightly to both avoid truly antagonizing his beloved and to tease you as well as himself, to savor the moment even more before it's ruined.
Sensing the second it threatens to drip, waste away like dirt on the floor, he doesn't allow it the satisfaction of an escape. Nor will he allow you to look away. See and observe as he feasts, how beautifully the skin reacts.
Hook, line and sinker. Blood is his nature and rituals require sacrifice. To take life, play games, one must be as cunning as he is. While he roams outside the well, while he can say something about it, your blood shall yield. Where's the fun if he can't properly savor it?
His tongue so wickedly licks before your blood can wiggle another inch, flowing smoothly upon your finger, still frozen in shock in such an erupt action. Skin flushing in his wake, pausing to cherish and lavage in his defined pursue of your taste.
Every flavor, every patch of skin, every offering, drunk empty. As Shuten Dōji enjoys his wine, Yato no Kami obviously happily devours your fluids to the absolute fullest.
Delicate and fluffy to the touch, his tongue drinks everything it touches. Not only your blood but your flesh as well. His saliva coating behind each lovely stroke, leaving a reminder of where he's been, drying the single moment he departs.
Can't have that now, can we? He doesn't even give you a minute to gather yourself, to actually respond to his strange offer. His sudden weird, urge to 'help' you out.
How sad would it be? To break by his hand?
But where is the meaning in that, dare he wonder? There is a corrupt energy, recklessly flying in a caged frenzy. Miasma of ruby red, the stirred emotion of a pure vampire. The cracked veins, spreading like an infectious plague, rage inhuman blood. The vicious moons burn like embers, an infernal flame, absorbing the cut like it was last vulnerable thing they will ever see.
His smile-unchanging-holds true and tells no lies.
For Yato no Kami is, after all, a simple monster acting on purely instinct.

Noragami Final Chapter Thoughts
You know what? I'm used to it.
I'm used to have exceptionally well-written manga get cut off or deadline-d to finish at certain point of time (usually by the publisher's order) when the authors still have so, so, SO much more left to give, so in the end they have no choice but to rush the final chapter.
Shingeki no Kyojin, Promised Neverland, Nisekoi, other mangas I forgot to name. And this manga. For such a long-running series with deep lore, they all could use a special volume (200+ pages) as an epilogue, not a 45-pages speedrun of everyone's everafter. I wish more series could follow Mob Psycho's example. Some say Mob Pycho Season 3 is too long, it needs to be more compact etc, but I don't think so at all. I think it's perfect the way it is -- it's a fulfilling send-off for all the characters we love so much. I wish more series would get their ending like that, but what can I say about Japanese manga industry.
And there's also Adachitoka's health to consider too. In which case, I'd say they did their best, and I'm really thankful for them for being able to deliver this series safely.
In short, I already expected this chapter to be a speedrun. Because of that, my experience when I read this chapter is better than I expected.
Maybe because I've learned my lessons for not making theory too much, so I don't have certain expectations that'd cloud my judgement.
With no deep thoughts when reading, let's go dive in.
The PUNS it still gets me. Yukine's sister calling Haruki's name while watching a tree that blossoms in spring is 😭😭😭
Ayoo he can change to a dog still? My poor baby 😭
I guess this is his punishment for wrecking havoc in the human world and disturbing the Heaven? But like, he was clearly under the influence of trashdad?? He's not really at fault?? Is this author's message that we shouldn't justify his action just because we understood his reasons?? But still. That's too cruel for doing it for your own main character.
I know shinkis that were left behind by their master would retain their name after the master's death, but still. To think Izanami's power is still working on Yukine after the Kotonoha is destroyed. This is tragedy.
THE FLOWERSS IN YUKINE'S RESTING PLACEE AKSJJDBDKDJDJD
Daww that's nicee. Hiyori as an intern!
Damn, she really forgot everything. This is for the best though, she already died once when she got too close with the far shore; I'm already prepared for this much. Maybe Yato had finally severed her ties with him and that (along with the cpr) is what allowed Hiyori to return.
Wdym "intense cpr," it's more than intense. It's hella long too. Nobody could perform intense cpr for hours nonstop, unless that person is non-human.
Good to know Yato broke her ribs though, nice work!
Hiyori's missing notebook? Prob taken by Yato or something.
Dafuq. Move along with your "it's me!" wishy-boy. No. This time it's not you who kissed her. You were delirious in some random abandoned building in some random city when Hiyori was dying.
See, this is my nightmare. To have the real Fujisaki Koto as Hiyori's future love interest. Because I know for sure, for so long, that they could bonded with their out-of-body experience when they both lost their memory.
Sorry Koto, 'nothing against the real you, but your alter ego has kinda ruined your image.
Damn, Father's longing for Kaya runs deep in Koto's veins.
BAHAHA, Nice one Coophone. Or Yato. Or Yukine. Or whatever tf Hiyori's guardian is.
AWWW THE GODS ARE CARRYING HIYORI'S LEGACY TO HAVE A PICNIC TOGETHER 😭😭😭😭
Aww man I didn't see Nana. She'd love to have a picnic with both Bishamon and Arahabaki! Is it because she was infected with GGS, or is it simply her turn to watch over the house? I hope it's the latter.
I wish the Gods would talk more about Yato's miracles, including about Hiyori. She is literally the glue that help stick these guys together. Without her, they wouldn't even know about Father's Liberation ability.
Heck, forget about Yatori. I wanna hear the Gods reminscing about their situations & conditions after the incident. But alas.
Oh well. This is something I've learned to let go.
Woow Kunimi looks young! Does he finally have a vacation?? Lol
Ebisu's voice got deeper? He still looks like a baby to me. Is he a baby 12-yo?
It's real nice to see the 3 reincarnated gods! Though I coulnd't care less abt them,even tho i know they have main character energy
Oh. my God. TakeKiun is really sailingg Look at dem. Matching clothes and soft smiles and all dat shit 🥺🥺🥺
Um, okay. It's good and all that each mortal has their own version about what happened at that time, but like,
Weren't people DIED???
I thought many people died!! Getting slashed by Gods!! Why is it not covered on the national news-
(myb when Father's "nation" returned to the underworld, the souls who were lost were also returned to its vessel somehow?)
Nope, nevermind. Just don't think too deeply about it. Moving on.
BISHAAA it's good to see her in great health!
Though I really wanna know, how is her relationship with the Heaven and the other Gods after that fiasco, how she feels abt Father's defeat, etc--
NOPE. Don't thinkabout it. Just moveon.
Here I thought Yato was gonna get a reward from Amaterasu for slaying "something that doesn't belong on this Earth." Oh well. Guess Amaterasu is hella stingy like that.
Why Yukine seems like he got even smaller though. Is it the changing art style? He looks more baby than ever.
Wait, they got a whole proper room to sleep? Is this their old room in Kofuku's house?? I thought since Yukine is infected by GGS, Kofuku stayed the hell away from Yukine, but that doesn't seem like the case?
Maybe Kofuku-Daikoku are the one who abandoned the shop; leaving it for Yato and Yukine to stay in? We'll never know.
(Now where is Kofuku's new address, I need to know)
Since Yukine is infected by GGS and always in constant nightmare, I'd like to believe Kazuma is experiencing the same thing; in order to separate him from the rest of the clan, now Kazuma sleeps with Bishamon every night. Lucky bastard.
That is so touching of Yato for comforting his sobbing child every night, but I wish we got a glimpse of his reminisce with his now-gone Father.
Oh wooww the dude finally stopped playing around. I thought he didn't have the guts to cut Hiyori's ties, turns out he really cut itt. No wonder Hiyori forgot about him for 10 years.
(Though I don't think she forgot completely either. Yato might not be in her head anymore, but he's still in her heart)
Adachitoka-san. Are you trying to tell ME this teke-teke thing is way more viral than the mass of unnatural, unknown deaths???
Is it because there's no death at all???
*sighs.* Anyways.
Aww Nora is now staying at Iki's household, happier than ever 🥺
Oh so that's where Hiyori's notebook goes.
Wait, Iki household creeps Hiyori out? Why? Is it because she was traumatized by her grandma's death? (Does she even remember that?) Is it because she faintly remembered the way Nora broke her house's windows? Or is it because she could sense Nora's presence and it icks her? I hope it's not the latter ☹️
I'm happy Nora is finally a happy child, but, Yukine? What about my son Yukine, who is no longer a pure soul, who could no longer sleep peacefully every night. Where is Nora's apology for leading Yukine to Father huh? Where is her apology for (indirectly) turning Yukine into who he is today? I guess it happens off-screen, we'll never know.
OH WOWW THE PUNS' AT IT AGAIN
Wdym "the night has a scent."
"Night" is using the same kanji as Yato's name, 夜. She is remembering his smell from the nightt, peoplee
(The night when he kissed her prob)
The power of the match-matching ema hunged by Ookuninushi is really strong, huh. Hiyori managed to remember Yato again, despite her already-severed-ties with Yato.
(or maybe not. I guess their fate really IS intertwined, knowing their first meeting)
I kinda wish Hiyori would remember Yato much later, like, in her 40s when she already has kids on her own, but hey, the sooner she remembers him, the longer he'd stay on this Earth so I'd still consider it a win!
Tbh, a part of me don't want her to get involved with far shore like she did in the past, but a part of me also wants her to snuggle between Yato and Yukine's arms after her work hours end. Dilemma.
Now I need Hiyori's journey to become one hell of a rich doctor so she could build a proper shrine for Yato so she and her family could pray together every morning, because she claimed it's Yatogami who saved her life that day. She'd make dinner for Yato and Yukine and eat with them every evening while her family acknowledge it as her night-praying-time. She'd tell her family, her future husband, and her future children about the legend of Yato (she'd exaggerate it a lot) and the next thing she knows, Yato have already has a devoted followers. Oh, and she'd often visited Bisha's shrine, Kofuku's, Ebisu's, all gods associated with Yato.
That's it folks. I rarely do my thoughts about Noragami, but I do read it religiously regularly each month. This manga has already become my comfort manga no matter how angsty it is, so it's gonna be hard to part with it, after all this time. Maybe for next month I'm gonna restart from chapter 1, one chapter per month.
I do have to say though, usually when I read a series with unsatisfactory ending, it leaves a bad taste in mouth. Somehow this chapter don't feel like that at all. I don't know why. I still look at this chapter and all the previous ones with fondness.
I wanna dream that 1-2 years from now, Adachitoka would release a 200-pages of Noragami epilogue -- which I know it's impossible, but hey, let the girl dream. I'm also looking forward for the extra komas, if there's any.
It's been a good time with you all 🤗👋

doppelgänger Francis x reader
sooo this is totally sfw within the age rating of the actual game, obviously. also might be inspired by the yagami yato of this man, maybe, slight chance, it definitely gave me some fuel to finish at least, i got over this brain rot quickly and well this took more time than i would of liked so yeah. sorry if my writing sucks :)
tags
mentioned death
mentioned cannibalism
two sides of the same one sided love (kinda)
blood (yep shock horror)
hoon man getting the love he needs <3
a bit of inexperienced writing (oh lord the horror)
sexual tension i guess (but not really)
Heather's the musical reference
British language so scary
it was late at night and door duty is slow like usual, the thing about the job was that 12 hour shifts suck, but in this time where the fear of being replaced by man eating monsters having a roof over my head and a job was quite reassuring, and well despite the company not really caring I'm glad that i didn't have to do more work then i could be awake for also my co-worker Emily she is amazing and could make a banging cup of tea, and well she likes the fact there's not nearly that many doubles at day, less work obviously. the night is tougher, way more doppelgängers at this time some were very convincing and did make me want to scream on the inside becuse of the anxiety it caused..... but i did like a challenge. also, i knew that most of the apartmenties were inside as Emily ticks them off the list and added the names who had a reasonable excuse for not being on there, and hey, i haven't died. yet despite my complaints there was a golden reason why i liked this job, and that was the resident tired eyes Francis, but he never really talked that much and it kinda made him ideal mimic bait, so i cant get attached i mean i really shouldn't as they really did try him the most for some reason.
i yawn as i relaxed into my office chair stretching my arms with a stratifying click 'mhhh almost over its 10 45 so 1 more hour and franci-' caught in my thoughts so much but the white uniform snapped my attention 'speak of the devil-! wait...' and as quickly as it came it left, as i seen the deep sunken abyss of "eyes" and a smile 'ah, i see its hoon' he really did try to get in, acting normally handing the papers over with an almost correct ID and entry form but just ya know slightly off on the looks and all he says is hoon is kind of revealing. i smiled and waved in greeting.
"Ah, hello there, nice try hoon, but i can see you. Good try though, almost nailed that ID too."
"hoon hoooon!"
"ill take that a good response"
i politely gave back the ID and smiled, throwing the entry form in the bin with the rest, so it isn't as easy to get in. Also, some of them are funny anyway. back to it i found this particular one almost as enduring as the original i was found of him so to speak, but if he got too good then off he goes and that might be a toxic trait but ill entertain him for now.
"Come on man, you know the drill, i caught you. You walk away. Have a good night though."
"hoon..."
he held his head down in disappointment and trudged away, when i was sure he left i called the D.D.D,the emergency shutters come down and footsteps can be heard by the men, i knew hoon wasn't there but to keep up the appearance to not get me fired, i had to make it seem that he keeps escaping, and not me letting him do so nooooo. the shutters come up, and the hazmat suit explains the situation in that boring tone like always.
"The clean up is complete, but the company will search for that double ganger that got away......"
yep, the same stuff zoning all that out. 'blah blah blah Jesus Christ, so much talking, just leave, please.' i kept smiling with zoned out thoughts as they spoke.
"You can continue your job"
"mh hm thanks"
the clean-up crew left slowly, god so slowly, like today, so slow. i looked over to the clock 'uuuuhhh 11 15 a half an hour till Francis gets here from delivering milk. poor soul to be fair he was half a workaholic' picking at my nails as a distraction from the boring day i seen another white milk man uniform i smile as i seen Francis, immediately going to work as he passed his paper through. but if i looked at the clock, only a few minutes passed.
"hi there"
i politely greeted, giving a small wave like i do for him 'wait it might not be him.' My face turned serious quickly.
"hm hello..."
'Huh, is he tired, or is that voice lower?' Suspicious, but i checked over the entry form, and that looked all good. now the ID 'logo yep date uh huh spelling' with the file i looked back and forth 'okay looking good finally number lets see 2 3 5 5 6' i look at the ID '2 4 5 5 6. wait 4?' Looking back over the file 'that's wrong damn doppelgänger. welp gotta kill this one he's too real.' i passed back the papers roughly, my face turning sour.
"welp, here ya go Francis, any last words?"
i didn't let him finish becuse as soon as i passed the paper through roughly i reached over with my other hand and pressed the emergency button, and speed dialling the D.D.D to get this near replica out of here, the shutter that came down was rattling from the force of the doppelgänger hitting it trying to escape, which was normal. and then silence as the shutter comes up, the now comforting yellow suit began to talk.
"The clean-up is complete. You can continue your-"
The hazmat suit slammed into the glass making a small crack, a gradient green hand with black claws dug into the back of the head, blood seeping out and staining the yellow suit my eyes followed the arm to the doppelganger of Francis i had just delt with 'oh shit this is a fucking problem' the yellow hazmat fell to the ground the hand returning to "normal" and that face comes into view. blood dripping of the perfect features, his voice lower than it should be its unnerving 'and hot- nope nope stop there wrong.' opening the desk draw digging in it for a neatly written number to only be called if the D.D.D fails. 'Where's that post-it note' a loud thud broke my thoughts, and I cautiously looked up to the double of Francis. his hand against the glass smearing some blood on the clean surface some spilling into the small crack made a few seconds earlier.
"Oh darling, how come you didn't let me in? My appearance is flawless. Entry form has nothing wrong with it, I know I'm on the list today."
He looked confused 'cute wait no evil' since I passed the papers through he picked up the slightly crumpled ID and gave an amused smirk flipping it around and pressing it to the glass so I could see it.
"Ah, I see you did read that silly ID number. You're not like the others, you're smart, and that makes me want to devour you even more."
My hand starts to tremble as I kept looking for that stupid note. The doppelganger tuts lightly with a small chuckle.
"Come on~ your phone friends can't help you. and you wouldn't want to create more of a mess~ look honey! all those delicious bodies already here"
He licked his lips cleaning them from the blood giving a satisfied hum 'oh shit that's hot- nope nope not the time' i couldn't bear to look past him at the amount of people dead, opting to keep looking for the number i knew was in this stupid desk 'come on, come on where is this fucking thing' my hand touches the gun at the back of the draw 'I shouldn't have to use this'
"OPEN THE DOOR, please open the door. Can we not fight anymore, please come on, open the door? You're scared i see that, I can set you free come on let me inside open the door open opEN OPEN!"
Teeth beared now sharp and tinted yellow eyes the same shade. His hand slammed down on the glass with an open palm he realised it wasn't working, quickly far too quickly, and he used his fist rattling the pane in its hold the crack getting bigger every thud my movements speed up 'shit shit shit shit shi- ah! there I got it.' I gripped the paper roughly and slammed the emergency button and dialled the never before used number
"DARLING YOULL NEVER KILL ME IVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR WEEKS ILL COME BACK"
"Hello you have contacted the-"
"YES I KNOW SEND HELP D.D.D AGENTS DOWN"
"Don't worry .... we have dispatched people to your area" BEEP
The slamming of fists and that sickening sound of flesh tearing. its the noise doppelgangers make when they lose their disguise, it made me nauseous my head dizzying from it I heard the glass smash but the metal kept me safe it was barely dented before I heard the screams of the beast and gun shots my breathing uneven my legs to my chest in the chair arms wrapped around my body in attempt to comfort myself it all went silent my heart drops in my chest but as the shutter came back up a more human looking hazmat suit greeted me rather than the round ones another one putting a new pane of glass replacing the broken one.
"Thank you for contacting us. we will inform the D.D.D of the deceased agents and give you good reference. Unfortunately, the doppelganger got away"
"Wait, what!?"
They left quickly, some carrying black bags, not saying a word 'he got away. How?' I slowly came out of my shell I had built temporarily, taking in some deep breaths. unwrapping my arms and lowering my legs back into my chair. 'I'll have a breakdown when I'm off the clock.... oh speaking of how long till Francis is here 11 55 he's late.... of course just making my day wors- never mind night is better' there he was passing an ID and entry form i already had his folder out and checked it over intensely giving a little sigh.
"mh, hello doorman you seem worked up tonight"
"haha yeah just some difficult doppelgängers, ya know"
"ha yeah uh.... I've been meaning to ask, would you like to get food sometime"
i opened the door for him and smiled wearily giving the correct paper back to the real Francis.
"yeah that would be nice have a goodnight Francis"
okay finally over Jesus Christ this took way longer than i wanted it to take becuse i have got another 3 fics stacked and schoolwork so I'm glad its over but i still don't know how to end this shit sorry if my writing sucks :]
extra note: brownie points if people spotted the heathers reference

Chapter 105-2 thoughts
What a roller coaster. Let's get into it.
So as I figured, Father's monsters zombie-fy people they touch. But rather than zombies per se, they become ayakashi that can't be cured with a bit of water, so the gods are faced with the dilemma of having to cut the blight out to save the rest--a nice parallel to the early times of the series, except in this case they're talking about having to kill people. Kill some to save the bigger picture, or try to find a cure/a way out in time?
The way Arahabaki reverted to his former violent nature, and how Take, Ebisu, Kofuku, and Tenjin decided to go along with it at the cost of blighting their shinki seems to me a way to highlight heaven's corruption. We know their ways suck, and here we're seeing that even the characters we love are not immune to their corrupt ways. Remember, heaven's modus operandi is strike first, ask questions later, so they're just solving things the way they know how, even if we don't think of them as necessarily being "part of" heaven.
Hopefully Hiyori or someone else will come up with a cure before the gods start doing...you know, exactly what Father wants them to do, but before I move on, I do have a concern about this chapter.
What was so dangerous about that island, after all???
Think about it--Ebisu said it's so dangerous that he died there in the past. But all that was waiting for them there was a decrepit old man and a bunch of non-aggressive ghosts. I kept speculating a booby trap, but now they've left and are safely back with the other gods? This kind of threw me for a loop, I'll admit. That place had bad vibes written all over it so it's a bit weird that nothing really happened. They simply got what they came for and left.
Anyway now let's talk about what I really wanted to talk about--Nora's character arc concluding. I loved her calling out Father's half-baked dimension as being...well, fundamentally worthless. Followed by her instinctive response of loving him, and the little Hiyori in her head that asks, "Do you really?"
Finally, finally, Nora admits she's scared of him, the same way Yato is scared of him, and turns on him. I'm so happy. I've been waiting for this day for years.
I also really liked her revelation that she had been playing her part in their made-up family. She didn't want to let her beliefs go partly because it was something she never got to have in life--a family.
Yato wants to go home and see the sun, not to die. I'm gripping the edge of my seat so hard. The eventual Yatori/trio reunion is going to break me open. When it happens, don't text. I will be in shambles. That might happen at the end of 106, since I'd assume the last chapter, 107, would be an epilogue of sorts. We'll see.
WHERE IS HIYORI
The finish line is truly in sight now, and all that's left is to defeat Father once and for all, reveal his true name, save the infected people, and get the main trio back together again. No one else except trash dad had better die :^)
I'm also really curious whether the series will be open-ended or not. As in, if it will end with Hiyori's ties being cut or her willingly parting ways with the gods--a definitive ending of their story. Or if it will end with the knowledge she'll have to leave them someday, but she wants to stick around for now. I'm personally rooting for the second just because the alternative makes me too sad, but we'll see. Hiyori getting and being tied up in the affairs of the gods has been, you know, the backbone of the series, so it would definitely make sense to put a clear ending on it. Even if it makes girls cry. It's me. I'm girls.

Reaction of Otae, Tsukki and Abuto with a partner that took the initiative and kissed them first? Scenario or headcanons, as you prefer. Thanks!
A/N: I’m sad bc I couldn’t find any pictures of a flustered Abuto.😔 Oh, and btw, I kinda made the theme “first kiss”, since it was the first thing that came to mind.
Ft: Abuto, Shimura Tae & Tsukuyo (Gintama).
Part Two: Kamui & Okita Sougo ➵ Gintama
Tumblr media
Abuto
➸ Abuto is a very laid-back individual. The guy’s gotta have nerves made of steel in order to deal with his bloodthirsty commander on a daily basis. So it’s pretty hard to take this man by surprise.
➸ He is—if I remember correctly—somewhere in his early thirties. This means that he must’ve had his fair share of relationships. Because let’s be realistic, Abuto does in fact hold a certain charm to him that has most people drooling over him. Not only is he attractive, but also very chill and a good conversationalist as well. 
➸ But here’s the deal. His s/o is not just any other person. In fact, they’re the person who had somehow managed to catch the yato’s attention and made him actually want to enter a serious relationship with them.
➸ After all, as a member of the Harusame pirates, there is no wonder that the man preferred to keep everything casual before they had entered his life. In fact, there’s a high probability that his s/o was a member of the Harusame pirates themselves.
➸ If not, then Abuto would make sure to visit them whenever he could. But I doubt that a relationship like that would’ve lasted too long.
➸ It’s just that Abuto has this sense of responsibility and can’t just leave Kamui without any supervision. Even tough his presence might not provide any major changes, it still has a certain impact on the young commander.
➸ I’m blabbering, aren’t I? Let’s get back to the kiss.
➸ I believe that Abuto and his s/o had only entered the first stage of their relationship at this point. Since Abuto has never had any experience when it comes to romantic relationships, aside from casual affairs with random people.
➸ So the amanto probably figured that the best course of action would be to take things at a rather slow pace. And this applies especially if his s/o had never been in a relationship before either.
➸ This man is very respectful when it comes to his s/o’s boundaries and will make sure that they’re comfortable 24/7. But I guess that the downside of this is that he had not even once attempted to make a move on his s/o yet.
➸ Well… At least, that was what his lack of action had been indicating so far. And that is why his s/o had decided to take matters into their own hands.
It had gone a few months since you and Abuto had officially started dating and due to the affiliation with the Harusame, you had not exactly much spare time to go on a proper date. Especially with how adventure seeking his superior could be at times—which was practically always. So it was particularly hard to find an empty schedule for the older yato.
You were glad, though, since today it was finally going to happen. Perhaps you were being a bit mean and it wasn’t very nice to be happy about the vermillion haired amanto’s sickness. The younger had apparently eaten some bad food at one of the planets that their ship had been visiting. Some type of food that his yato body could not handle, so it seemed. But had it not been for this incident, you doubt Abuto would ever get to spend another day like this with you.
You were currently at a festival that was, much to your luck, held on that exact day. Abuto wasn’t really a “festival-goer”, but if it meant that he could spend time with you without any nuisances tagging along, he was more than happy to do so.
You were currently eating some cotton candy, as it was the easiest thing to stuff yourself with after trying out many kinds of foods. While Abuto was busy looking around the various types of stands, your own gaze was fixated on his face, and suddenly the only thing you could think of was how much sweeter his lips had to be than the treat you were munching on a few minutes prior.
Packing up enough courage, you quickly tapped him on the shoulder. The male cast you a curious look as you motioned for him to come a bit closer. You purposely made it look as if you wanted to tell him something, before quickly wrapping your arms around his neck and pressing a sweet and delicate kiss against his slightly chapped lips. All the male could do was blink at your actions in surprise, which earned him a pout from your side.
“You were supposed to get flustered!” Abuto smirked at your obvious frustration as you crossed your arms exasperatedly, while facing the other side. Perhaps he wouldn’t say it aloud, but he found your dramatism rather amusing, not to mention charming.
Ignoring your childish tantrum, he simply leaned in and left a quick peck on your puffed out cheek. He then took a hold of your hand and began dragging you through the festival, not paying any mind to your endless whining.
Tumblr media
Shimura Tae
➸ What’s there to say about Shimura Tae? I guess that the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Otae is that she’s the embodiment of a humanized volcano. Or is it a human-volcano? What matters is that her reactions can differ greatly, however, still keep one big common denominator: Explosiveness.
➸ I swear! This woman is literally the definition of a human-sized detonator! It doesn’t matter if someone decides to say something insulting or flattering, she’ll still react equally violent. It’s kinda scary, if I were to be honest.
➸ Shimura Tae is a sweetheart, two-faced, but still very likable. I don’t think that her s/o has managed to go through a day without wanting to kiss her.
➸ She’s just so easily flustered, which kinda makes up for her sometimes “gorilla-like” demeanor. Though, I think that we all “Otae-lovers” would agree that this particular characteristic only adds to the charm.
➸ Despite having so many occasions where her s/o could imagine themselves actually doing it, they never do. Well… That’s until Kondō and Kyūbei come into the picture.
➸ When having so many rivals, it kinda forces her s/o to take action. Even if both parties haven’t exactly been able to surpass her s/o, while trying to court her. If one could even call that courting.
➸ Despite wanting to shove it in their faces that her s/o is the only person Otae will ever pick, they still only decided to act on their feelings once the two of them were somewhere alone.
➸ Privacy is something important for her and her s/o did obviously not want to make her feel uncomfortable. Otae is still a very sensitive soul, after all. Yet, the action in it self had come much more spontaneously than her s/o had earlier planned for it to be.
You were currently sitting on the floor, waiting for your friend to return from wherever she currently was. As weird as it might have sounded, the second you entered their family dojo, the woman had only told you to “sit down and wait” while she prepared some surprise for you. Even though you’ve already been sitting here for a while, you still had no idea of what kind of surprise she could have possibly been making at this point.
‘Are surprises even supposed to take this much time to prepare?’
Soon enough, the young woman entered with a tray in her hands. And as the sight greeted your own field of vision, you visibly paled. However, the changes in your face were not drastic enough for the female to realize the reason.
“[Name]-chan, would you like to try out my new dish? I’ve been trying to learn a new receipt these past two weeks.” How could you possibly say no to that pretty smile? The answer was simple: You couldn’t. And the second a barely audible “yes” escaped your lips, you realized you were a goner. Because so far, there had existed no creature in this universe that was miraculously able to survive as much as a taste from her homemade food.
The young woman was watching you eagerly as you took the spoon and guided it slowly towards your lips. However, before you would need to put it in your mouth, an idea popped into your mind.
“Tae-chan, wouldn’t you like to try it out as well?” You had never called her that before, and judging by how red-faced she had become, you figured your plan was a success. However, what you did not take into account was the fact that she would look utterly adorable like this. You had simply forgotten about how weak you were for her flustered expressions.
“T-Tae-chan?” She barely managed to squeak out as your lips were already on her own. Yet, instead of pushing away as you had expected her to do, she remained completely unmoving. Like a statue. Not wanting to make her even more uncomfortable, you decided to withdraw yourself from her. A pregnant pause soon followed as you waited for her to say something.
“C-Could you kiss me again?”
Tumblr media
Tsukuyo
➸ This woman is the definition of tsun-tsun when it comes to romance, I swear to god! When I first saw her in “Yoshiwara in Flames” arc, I believed there was no way a badass like her could be so cute! But, guess I was proven wrong…
➸ Something tells me that the first kiss had happened way before the two of them started dating. Another thing that I’m certain about is that in this case, her s/o most definitely was the one who took the initiative—unless she got sh*t-faced, that is. However—even if that was the case—I doubt she’d remember anything, so I guess it’d be her s/o’s call either way.
➸ The both of them were most likely having an argument about something. During this so-called “argument”, instead of focusing on the problem at hand, her s/o starts thinking about how pretty she looks when she’s angry.
➸ Obviously, they started spacing out and she called them out for it, which then proceeded with a half an hour long scolding session. And Tsukuyo is too busy, walking around with hysterical steps to notice whatever it is that her s/o might be doing at the moment.
➸ Her s/o is too immersed to actually pay attention whatever it is that she’s talking about. They had, in fact, stopped listening after the first five minutes. Tsukuyo, on the other hand, is mentally too far away to take notice of this fact.
➸ As the kiss finally happens, I get the feeling that her s/o will not even be aware of what it is that they’re doing. So in this case, it wasn’t even intentionally—just like in Tsukuyo’s case when she had hypothetically kissed them, while being intoxicated.
➸ The difference is, however, that the both of them are now aware of what’s actually happening this time. Well, at least when they begin to pull away, that is.
You in all honesty, don’t even remember what that argument had been about. Yet here you are, listening for the past thirty minutes about god knows what. You’re not even paying any attention to her words! And for someone whose main goal is to talk some sense into you, she sure does not put any effort into making you listen.
The longer you watched her, the more you began to realize how pretty she actually was. However, the amusing part was perhaps the fact that she had still not noticed the dazed expression that you were currently having. A part of you wondered just how pissed off she had to be to become this blinded by her rage.
Obviously, this wasn’t the best way to deal with the situation that you had suddenly found yourself in. But the longer you sat there, the more curious you grew. You simply couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like if you had ever managed to sh*t, the “Courtezan of Death”, up by an unexpected kiss.
So that’s what you did. Kissing her right in the middle of her speech. Her lips were surprisingly soft, but the thing that surprised you the most was the fact that she was actually kissing you back.
“What the h*ll do you think you're doing?”
“Me? I just wanted to know if I could make that mouth of yours do something more productive for a change.” If looks could kill, you’re pretty d*mn sure that you’d be six feet under by now. But did you regret doing it? No, you did not.

10 Characters, 10 Fandoms, 10 Tags
Tagged by @bestillmyfastbeatingheart (Thanks!)
Ookido Green/ Blue Oak (Pokémon gameverse)
He stole my heart when I was like 4, never gave it back. I love him with ardent passion to this day. The first game did him dirty, so I'm really glad about the revisions to his character TPC has made over the years because they have added dimension and complexity to him. The reason I'm fixated on the rivals to lovers troupe. Major inspiration in my sports life.
Nakahara Chuuya (Bungo Stray Dogs)
The angriest chibi sheepdog around. *slaps back* This bad boy can pack so much trauma in him. He's a mess but his mental fortitude and ability to forgive (even when he claims there won’t be a second chance! lol) is quite impressive. His arc is far from over though, so I'm dying to see what the story has in store for him. Will he actually end up slowly tainted by the darkness he's surrounded in? The uncertainty gives me life.
Yato (Noragami)
Dramatic, goofy character with a dark past? yes, please. The burdens of the gods are quite interesting and I would love for him to be right about placing his faith in  Hiyo-chan and survive so he can say "b*tch, you thought." to his father.
Arataka Reigen (Mob Psycho 100)
The Greatest Psychic of the Century, Twink Supreme, Ultimate DILF, True Babygirl. He's known by many names but, in Mob's words, Reigen Shisho is a good guy. He's a refreshing MC character for a shounen and BONES was right to thirst for him.  
Kudou Shinichi (Meitantei Conan)
Cheeky bastard #1.  Can't mind his own business and lacks self preservation but that's fine, he has a quick mind and has amassed a small army of overqualified people who enable and  keep him alive. Mild sadistic streak when it comes to a certain thief, but he's a tsundere with a soft spot for kids and dogs. A total keeper.
Kuroba Kaito (Magic Kaito)
Cheeky bastard #2. I love his veiled kindness and his mischievous, chaotic side the best. I'm glad we could get his own point of view in the cases he crosses paths with Conan because I just live for the contrast of his suave persona in DC vs. barely holding it together thanks to crazy luck in MK. He deserved better when it comes to the Touichi is actually alive fiasco, though.
Igirisu/ Arthur Kirkland / England (Hetalia)
Fav character of one of my oldest fandoms after Pokémon. Thanks to him I met who is my best friend to this day and  had lots of fun back then. Many fond memories of this fandom so he has a special place in my heart.
Mitsurugi Reiji/ Miles Edgeworth (Gyakuten Saiban)
Seeing him go from his pretentious bratty self to his slightly less pretentious, kind daddy self was a pleasure. It started with unnecessary feelings and it progressed to the admission of "that man" still shining brightly in his eyes. He got really nice character growth and development.
Hijikata Toushirou (Gintama)
Supposed to be the cool stoic character but no  one can stay cool in Gintama and his hilarious shortcomings made him quite endearing to me. Sadists magnet.
Matsuoka Rin (FREE!)
I'll admit the drama these guys had going went completely over my head, like most competitive sports anime character's drama does, but his personality is just my cup of tea so I find him adorable. I like reading about him in different AUs more than in canon though.
Umm, since I’m a hermit I never know who to tag, but I'll try for once... @hayaku14, @hiromiikunn (If you're not interested or have already been tagged, please ignore this.)

Entry 106: Boring Recycling
Revelation Chapter 15: Rainbow Sage
Team Corrin arrives in Notre Sagesse. Corrin runs into old man Rainbow Sage, who sends them to the Sevenfold Sanctuary. On the way up, Sakura saves Elise from falling off a mountain like an idiot. #Character development.
This map is recycled from the other two visits to the Sevenfold Sanctuary in Conquest Chapter 11 and Birthright Chapter 19. At the start of turn two, Shura shows up randomly, seeking out the Rainbow Sage so he can give him the power to rebuild Kohga. Corrin recruits him by telling him we already got his revenge for him.
At the start of turn three, Nyx shows up randomly, having come to seek solitude. Fuck you Nyx you’re joining our friend group whether you like it or not! Fun fact, Nyx retains her stats from when you recruit her in Conquest, making her one of the worst units in the game! According to reddit, at least; also apparently Effie and Odin are awful.
The sanctuary leads back to the town yada yada yada old man is Rainbow Sage oh wow upgrade Yato into Alpha Yato now it has two different guards and looks dumb blah blah blah the Rainbow Sage fucking dies who cares. You can’t really make a route that both recycles half of its plot from other routes and also requires you to have played those routes for it to make sense. Also the Rainbow Sage is a dragon, one of twelve who fought for the world of Fates. Anankos is presumably also one. Why is Rainbow so much weaker than him and dies of old age? Hell if I know. Want to know about the other ten dragons? Fuck you.
Also Felicia/Jakob shows up at the castle between battles. Yay.
Support: Niles/Oboro
C: Niles calls out Oboro's nasty glare. Oboro says she's trying to get along with everyone, but Niles is acting like an asshole.
B: Niles says he's drawn to her hate. She explains his smooth lines make her hate him.
A: Niles and Oboro save each other in battle. Niles agrees to drop the innuendo so they can be friends.
S: They get married.
Review: This one doesn't do enough to build them hating each other, or them growing to be friends.
Support: Keaton/Rinkah
C: Keaton tries to talk to Rinkah. Rinkah tells him to never talk to her ever.
B: Keaton asks what independence means. Rinkah explains it means the Flame Tribe doesn't rely on anyone else. Keaton infers this means they just like to be alone, angering Rinkah, who insists it's about dignity. As an aside, how does Keaton, a chieftain, not know what independence is? To be fair, he is bad at his job.
A: Keaton says Rinkah's cool because she's a lone wolf and lone wolves are the strongest.
S: Keaton tries to talk to Rinkah. Rinkah tells him to stop trying to talk to her unless it's important. Keaton asks her to marry him. Rinkah says she's not interested, but tribal law says she can't. They get married anyway.
Review: Keaton is dumb and Rinkah is incredibly aggressive, but there is some decent worldbuilding about the Flame Tribe in this one.
Support: Charlotte/Saizo
C: Charlotte attempts to hit on Saizo, but goes back to her normal persona after realizing that he's a shabby commoner. Saizo laughs and reminds her that he's the personal bodyguard for the crown prince. Charlotte goes back to seduction mode, which obviously does not work.
B: Charlotte makes soup for her date. Saizo shows up and eats it, because it's made with army resources and thus belongs to everyone. The two of them bicker. Saizo says it must be nice for Charlotte to act naturally for a change.
A: Charlotte does chores to make the men notice her, but none of them do. Saizo says he notices. He also says he notices that Charlotte sucks.
S: Saizo proposes, saying he's the only one who really understands Charlotte. Charlotte agrees.
Review: Actually a really good Support. Saizo and Charlotte bounce off each other great and their bickering is fun.
Support: Selena/Subaki
C: Selena loses her mother's ring. Subaki returns it. Selena recognizes Subaki as a famous, almost superhuman warrior, who is also an arrogant douchebag. She asks how he can ride a pegasus, which are only rideable by women in every game but Fates which is stupid. Subaki says Pegasi in Hoshido don't mind men. Selena challenges Subaki to a duel.
B: Selena challenges Subaki to a cooking contest. She cuts and burns herself. Subaki points this out, so Selena storms off, shouting not everyone can be perfect.
A: Subaki makes terrible soup. Absolutely dogshit soup. Subaki explains he isn't flawless. Selena starts crying, because Subaki reminds her of her mother Cordelia, who was perfect. Selena explains she's over-competitive because she lives in Cordelia's shadow.
S: Subaki says that Selena's mother isn't around to judge her. Not that it matters, because Selena is remarkable. Subaki proposes with a replication of Cordelia's ring. They get married and have a daughter who looks identical to Cordelia, which actually kinda makes sense.
Review: A really good Support that gets to the heart of why Selena is the way she is.

very slow reread of Noragami in progress. got to the Yomi arc and Ebisu showed up and I stood up in my seat on the train and cheered and clapped for him. my special boy. cream faced business man.
Ebisu believes in people. He has a good heart. I think that's why I like him so much. And it's so nice to see it reciprocated in moments like where Bishamon is like, "I know it looks like he's The evil mastermind we've been after for hundreds of years, and I don't have a scrap of evidence, but Ebisu has actually never done anything wrong in his life and probably never will." We the readers don't really know anything about him going into it, but the fact that Bishamon and Okuninushi are willing to throw down with the heavens no questions asked on his behalf tells us what we need to know.
I love how dedicated most of the characters are to sticking up for each other in Noragami, even if there's not much of a reason/the reason isn't revealed right away. Like, sure, Ebisu and Yato are kinda forced to be allies given Yato's mission and the fact that they're both kinda trying to get out of the literal underworld, but that for sure didn't mean they had to keep trying to commit acts of self-sacrifice for each other and shouting reasons for living at each other. It's Ebisu telling Yato with complete sincerity that he believes he can be good and bring happiness, and Yato refusing to let Ebisu die and getting him to cling on to at least one reason for living.

I am slowly branching out like a spiderweb from Texas/exusiai/Lappland and A6 and current mission characters (I'm only at chapter 2 or something I think)
But I feel like the more characters that are related, or the more characters I see in the mission stories, the more likely I'll get to making my own versions of them
/////////
My current list of characters I already have ideas for but need to get around to drawing when I find some time:
-nearl and bleminshine cause of the current near light event (sob even tho I only made it to NL-4 cause all my teams are too weak to progress more than this....I hope the aceship.github.io site gets to these event stories too so that I can read it.....) / These two I was like so starstruck like omg they're like the hotshots of this city and possibly world they're suppose to be powerful and beautiful. And I guess my first thought was I love characters like these but we never get to see fat black people in these kinda roles so my mental version of nearl is a tall, fat person but with the same presence that makes everyone starstruck (but she actually just seems to be running on fumes imo, she got so much on her shoulders and she's trying hard to stay focused on what she holds important in her heart, but man there's just ..so much expectations ..on a single individual. and when I listen to her voice lines, she always sound like she is saying stuff into a mic like something for others to hear purposely..or maybe stuff she is telling to herself to keep herself going. But what are her private thoughts and fears, why does it feel like she's denying her personal experience as an individual and only holding herself up as a public figure of hope. I currently don't know enough so I know that I'm filling in the blanks super liberally, but I guess that's the joys of headcanoning! The more I learn about her in canon, the more it'll influence the version for her in my head too.)
-midnight, popukar, and catapult (A6....I love them...) ...spot will just be spot cause..look at him he's a hyena furry..I might just make up more casual off-work outfits for him so that I can figure out his interests and personal life aspects of him better
-completely made up characters for Texas and lappland's background with the Texas family cause my brain just went charging down that aisle after reading up on them. I'm excited for when arknights will probably do an event about them I hope! But meanwhile I'll just have my headcanoned background extension to them
////////
And unrelated characters I just really liked when I first started playing the games that I'd love to get to are
Yato and hoshiguma
I just haven't read up their files yet so I'm just like
:) love their voices...designs nice....

Thoughts on Ch 40
Yukine is so adorable 🥺 he’s trying so hard and I can’t not love him for it.
I’m really wondering what’s going to happen when Yato finds out that Fukisaki kissed Hiyori 👀
And when he puts together it was also his dad 👀👀
Tumblr media
Thoughts on Ch 41
And right off the bat we go into this. I’ve only seen clips of the ova but I can say with confidence reading it was better.
At first I made fun of Yato for being such a child and then remembered I’m literally the same way about the things I love. Like Noragami for example lol I made my boyfriend watch it with me but he wasn’t as into it unfortunately. I’m sure I can get him to be though
Poor Hiyori though being reminded of what happened on her date that wasn’t really a date. Been there done that no thanks.
Tumblr media
Thoughts on Ch 42
We’re starting off by dreaming about Hiyori. Nice.
And of course Daikoku is the best at psychoanalyzing Yato. I may not know for sure what happened back in the day, but he’s right that Yato most likely doesn’t know how to treat people he cares about. Lack of role models and all that. Sad really.
And Hiyori being the ditz she is talking about young shinki’s not realizing what that would mean. Sigh. Silly girl.
Kofuku’s backstory is…not what I expected, but ugh yeah alright. I don’t like to think about real young kids being dead. Makes my heart hurt 😩 It must have been so hard on Daikoku to try and be a dad for that kid.
Tumblr media
I can’t even picture these two like this 😂😂 I couldn’t not include this panel. Love it.
Tumblr media
Thoughts on Ch 43
What a small world it is. Who knew Yato employed this ladies mom. Must be nice to see your daughter grow up. It’s a terrible shame Mayu doesn’t realize it’s her daughter, but man I feel like that would make being a shinki so much harder.
I could never decide if I liked Tenjin. At times he’s alright (like with this) but then he’s being all Godly and I’m just rolling my eyes. It’s for the plot but still.
Ah I see how Yukine’s sister comes into play now. Just more fuckery.

Xander and Fandom Reaction
I can talk about Xander all day, but in terms of fandom reaction to him one of the things that always gets me is how during the second (or technically third) chapter of the game, he-with not much hesitation-goes to fight Corrin in order to kill Kaze and Rinkah... and somehow the “story version” of him is what’s not consistent, or the main problem with him because “he’s so nice and cool in his supports.”
You play this chapter before you unlock supports. You don’t have the (incorrect) knowledge that he’s “wiser and braver than he was as a child, so now he can stand up to Garon”. You don’t have the lines where he suddenly talks back to Garon and talks badly about him behind his back during the story chapters. But then you do get to those chapters, and you realize, wait a minute; if this is how you really feel, then why during chapter 2 were you not like that before?
The answer is that it’s not how he really feels. Xander would never say those things, not in reference to Garon and certainly not to his face. Xander is not your perfect, supportive nii-san who loves You unconditionally but is forced to hold the idiot ball against all logic because “blah blah blah Fates writing bad.” No, he’s an incredibly traumatized man with suicidal thoughts, who was complicit in lying to his kidnapped sibling all their life, who dealt with family members and retainers dying around him all the time, who is familiar with the feeling of having to fight and probably kill his loved ones for disobeying Garon, who is quite literally too stressed and anxious to tell everyone not to be scared of him because, yeah, he’s really fucking scary. And this is the hell he’s lived with for years. Years. And his response to all this is to continue living it, in hopes that it can get better-that his father can get better-despite all signs saying it won’t. What’s another response he has to this? Killing himself by forcing Corrin to fight him. Xander is not a paragon of princely duty, supportiveness and compassion, he is an intimidating mess of anxiety and trauma who is always on edge.
It’s why the final chapters of Conquest are fucking powerful, because he breaks free and chooses to live and fight back. Years of him saying “it’ll be better tomorrow” and chapters of you the player seeing him in denial and suffering just as much as Corrin and the other siblings, he’s able to break out and grow stronger once he sees undeniable proof that his father is gone, that what’s left is a monster who took the worst parts of Garon and shifted them into overdrive. His growth is the catalyst for the Yato evolving again.
And I can drag on about Treehouse again because they are quite literally to blame for this, but god at this point, it’s not even the just fact that it’s another one of their many screw ups. It’s the fact that fans saw Xander being inconsistent every other chapter (among other issues with the localized script) and instead of thinking “oh maybe it has something to do with the team that inserted memes into the game, cut out character dialogue, rewrote other characters into caricatures and couldn’t even be bothered to do the last batch of DLC therefore also negatively impacting western players gameplay wise”, we got “well the game is just written badly” or “obviously it’s cuz there were multiple scenario writers, too many cooks in the kitchen and all that” or “the writers cared more about fanservice than making a good plot after Awakening”.
Ugh.

In addition to the ask I've just sent. How you would rate your OCs during an introduction to parents as a bf?
Thanks for including them 🥺
Teito-
10/10 VERY recommended. Unfailingly polite with excellent table manners. He's got a talent for making people relax. A nice, handsome young man. You might have to pry your blushing mother off of him.
Yan-
3/10. Opening the door to 205 cm of pure Yato might send your poor parents into a heart attack. You'd have to reassure them frequently throughout the dinner that no, you aren't going to blink twice, you aren't being held hostage— it doesn't make it any better that he's a man of few words. Please steer the conversation away from his alien status and very questionable occupation.
Seiji-
5/10. N-not... not as bad as you'd think?? You made him promise you that he'd be on his best behavior, and he's actually on... his best behavior!?? i'd think you'd be the nervous wreak here, like, the entire time you're just biting your nails, frantically looking back and forth, waiting for the other shoe to drop, for someone to start foaming at the mouth maybe, knowing Seiji. But nothing happens really. Seiji's got an easy grin on his face and he's hitting some witty remarks that get some chuckles in return. He's even doing some harmless parlor tricks to entertain them after dinner! Who are you and what have you done with Seiji?!
(The best pranks are the ones that don't need to be pulled; Seiji had fun seeing you squirm in your seat teehee; so actual rating? -100/10)

warehouse shenanigans w/ soft!yandere dabi x reader (predator/prey dynamic)
Tumblr media
yes I did use yagami yato’s Dabi nickname. sue me.
warnings: implied stockholm and unhealthy relationship? (idk reader is chill with dabi’s tendencies)
_____
It wasn’t that you didn’t like being with Dabi. He took care of you, made sure that you felt loved and safe. More than anyone else had ever done.
But after so long, an undeniable truth did arise—you were bored.
A person could only stay cooped up in an apartment for so long. And while you did have plenty of entertainment, the need for something a little more exciting had taken root in your being.
So, it was how you found yourself in this predicament.
It didn’t take much running to stumble upon an abandoned warehouse. Dashing through the corridors, you broke off into a random storage room. There were large wooden crates, you utilizing them as an opportunity for a hiding spot. To secure your position, you pulled a piece of plywood overtop of the boxes, creating a concealed little nook.
And so you waited.
You knew Dabi had followed you here, because you only got about thirty feet away from his apartment before you heard him calling out to you. And while you recognized that distinct teasing in his voice, telling you that he knew you weren’t seriously trying to leave him, he still managed to instill a certain enticing fear in you.
Whether you actually lost him as you entered the warehouse, or if he was just holding back was beyond you. It didn’t matter, when the door to the room you were holed up in was unceremoniously kicked open.
Heavy boots sounded against the concrete floor, a clear identifier to who had made their entrance. Of course, his smug voice bouncing off the walls served the same purpose.
“C’mon out, sweetheart. I know you’re in here.”
You heard his footsteps delve deeper into the room. Slowly.
Menacingly.
The deep baritone of his voice sent chills down your spine, amplified by the echo given off by the fairly empty area. “Y’know, if you wanted to play that badly, you could’ve just said so.”
He wasn’t wrong, but you had a strange desire to push the man’s buttons. That, and you didn’t know if he’d let you do something this risky if you asked. Still, you kept silent, a hand clamped over your mouth in an attempt to stifle any noise.
It sounded like he was pushing things to the side. Searching every crevice, the noise of wood scraping against the floor meeting your ears.
“If you come out now, I’ll go easy on you when we get home….maybe.” Dabi snickered to himself, knowing full well how in for it you were the second he got his hands on you.
You could tell he was getting close, the rummaging nearing your position as he swept the room for your hiding spot.
Dabi was nothing if not dramatic at times like these.
The crates to your right were kicked over, the brittleness in the wood causing them to crumple under the impact. The commotion earned a frightened squeak from you, and the second it escaped your lips, you knew you had lost.
“Hm, what’s this?”
You didn’t have to be looking at Dabi to know that there was absolutely a shit eating grin plastered across his face. The thumping of your heartbeat picked up, anticipating what was to come.
Aside from his boots colliding with the concrete, a deafening silence overtook the room―until the low and threatening sound of his voice filled that void.
“Could it be….”
His footsteps came to a halt right next to your hiding place. The plywood was ripped from its spot.
“...a little mouse?”
Your gaze shot up, and they were met with Dabi leaning imposingly over your crumpled form on the floor. Blue and wild eyes pierced yours, holding nothing but danger.
Not a second went by before you were scrambling away, dead set on making a break for it. Or at least, that was until an arm snaked around your waist, hoisting you into the air.
“And just where do you think you’re going, huh?”
Your legs kicked around, unable to connect with anything while you were suspended. A fit of uncontrollable giggles escaped you as he playfully spun in a circle with you in his arms.
“Noooo, let me go!”
He laughed at your demand, the taunting lilt to it making you shiver. “Not gonna happen, sweet cheeks. You’re in big trouble.”
In mere seconds, Dabi had maneuvered you to be slung over his shoulder, surprising you once again with how strong he was.
“H-hey! It’s your fault for not bringing me anywhere, I mean you could’ve at least—”
You yelped when a hand came down on your ass to silence you, prompting you to squirm fruitlessly in his iron-like hold.
Dabi began heading for the exit of the warehouse as he spoke. “We’ve been over this, you’ve got everything you need back at the apartment.” He shifted you so that he could pin your still struggling legs down before continuing. “And maybe if you weren’t such a little brat, I’d actually be able to take you somewhere nice for a change.”
You perked up at the notion—not knowing that Dabi had ever actually considered letting you roam a little more freely. “Wait—really?”
He chuckled at your disbelief, pushing the front doors open. The cool air of the night hit your body, causing you to pull yourself closer to the heat radiating off of him.
“Yes, but before I let any of that happen, someone’s gotta learn their lesson on what happens when they misbehave.”
Unconsciously, you tensed at the notion, knowing his methods of reprimand would have you in for a long night. It wasn’t that Dabi would hurt you, it was just that he would take advantage of all your little weaknesses he’d come to observe. And you knew that he’d make you betray yourself in all the best ways, and somehow get you to enjoy it at the same time.
Sensing your bubbling anticipation, Dabi satisfyingly smiled to himself. He made his way through the deserted back streets, not bothering to put you down for fear of any more shenanigans.
Your fate was determined. You’d never be able to get away from him, and really, you didn’t want to.
“...Let’s get you home, little one.”

Chapter 95-2 thoughts
I don’t have a whole lot in terms of speculation, mostly feelings, so here we go. Spoilers under the cut. Also, a content warning for discussions of child abuse.
So right off the bat we see that Haru’s father was delusional, or at the very least, insisting that he kicked his wife and daughter out rather than them choosing to leave. It makes me wonder if he really did later trick himself into thinking his son ran away, which makes him that much more pathetic as a person.
On an even unhappier note, I can’t help but wonder what kind of gaslighting his family was subject to, if he’s tricking HIMSELF into thinking outright lies.
The strikes don’t stop though because right after this we have Haru smiling and pretending to be happy with his father even though we know he was terrified of him. And wanting to escape has been a recurring character beat for Yukine since the start of the story, too. MAN. MAN. IT’S LIKE BEING PUNCHED IN THE FACE OVER AND OVER.
His father also teaching him to steal if he doesn’t have any money is a nice callback to Yukine stealing stuff at the beginning of the manga, too. He knows it’s wrong, but now that he’s dead he can steal without getting caught, and the very act of doing so is what was drilled in his head by his father.
On that note, I was trying to speculate how old he was when his mom and sister left, and the answer from the official translation is at least 9, going by the height marks left on the wall. Either way you slice it, he was alone with just his father for quite a long time.
Speaking of horrible fathers it really hurt to see Father just being outright abusive (rather than his usual brand of manipulative) by calling Hagusa stupid and slow and basically just forcing him to fight Yato when all he wants to do is find his sister. I think his real desire to escape and be with her got twisted up with his desire for revenge against his father, and that’s why he was blaming her for abandoning him a few chapters ago.
Hagusa’s divine net has also caught a few other gods in the meantime, and combined with Yato’s later statement about how Amaterasu will go after him for working with the sorcerer only increases my worry. I’ve been worried about that exact scenario for a while now, and Yato voicing it makes me suspicious.
For the record, I very much doubt Yukine will die. You can all come clown me if I turn out to be wrong but it doesn’t make sense to me that this character arc about an abused child getting a second chance to live and make things right (even in an unfair system) would end with him just dying again but for real this time. Plus, he and Yato are partners and killing both of them off would just be unwise too.
That doesn’t mean he can’t get boxed again though! I hate it here.
enough of that bad line of thought,,, I swear it’s like Adachitoka saw how much I’ve been suffering over Yato and Yukine’s relationship since my reread last month and threw me a bone--despite everything, despite all the measures he’s taken, Yato’s #1 goal is not killing his father, but saving Yukine. To him, violence has never been the end goal, but breaking the cycle of abuse. Hence why he didn’t kill people except for when Father made him.
And that’s why he’ll succeed with saving Yukine in the end. Since the beginning, Yato has always tried to be a better father than his was to him. He’s not perfect, but he’s always tried and made honest efforts to improve, whereas Father has only ever seen those around him as tools--Yato, Nora, Hiyori, and now Hagusa. They’re only a means to an end, and them having their own thoughts and feelings is an inconvenience unless he manipulates them back in the right direction.
This is also a fun observation I tweeted a few months back that devastated the Twitter side of the fandom so now I’m gonna torture you guys too--Yato has never gotten mad at Yukine, at most stern. Whereas both their fathers yelled at them, blamed them, and were generally just unapologetically mean. Because even though Yukine’s done some stuff, Yato is choosing not to follow the same path they’ve both already experienced.
Anyway, back to the chapter--Yukine’s desire for revenge on his father is just Father manipulating his anger and sadness for why he died and using it to help him in his fight against heaven. Yukine hasn’t killed anyone before now, and no matter how angry he is, even if his father is still alive I don’t think he will be able to kill him.
I’m sure Kazuma isn’t happy by this turn of events, though--he signed up to kill Father, and that’s what he’s going to do, regardless of Yukine’s role in all this. I guess we’ll see where his ideology being at odds with Yato’s will take them next, as Father escapes yet again and Amaterasu comes for them.
I already said this in my snaps but pray for an Amaterasu cover for volume 24! I’d love to see official colors for her.

Dating Todoroki...
Tumblr media
oh my god i wasnt ready for this fucking gif
jesus fucking- my soul is leaving my body
HIS FUCKING SMILE AHHHHHHH
ocnonvo3en 
anygayssssss,,,
Shouto has this little habit of like clinging onto you at all times
during class, he likes to lean into you considering that you sit right beside him. When in the hallways, he tends to hold onto the straps of your backpack or just holds your hand. Same thing could be said for when you’re out in public with the addition that he holds onto the hem of your shirt
very cute
very soft
it’s a strange sight tbh
he’s literally one of the strongest in the class, he has severe daddy issues, and a stare that can kill...and yet, he follows you around like a puppy? pfffffttttt
but don’t let that full you
man loves to tease the hell out of you
like shit
he’ll whisper in your ear a sultry “baby” before teasing you about how red your face looks and if just the sound of his voice got you going
other times he’ll tease you at how you always seem to need his help with your academics and shit
mf
.
he always gifts you something everyday
usually its something small and practical like pens and colorful sticky notes
one time he got you an All Might themed sticky notes lol
when the dorm situation comes into place, the two of you are always together
like really
you’re  a l w a y s  together
he stays over in your room one day and on the next day, you stay over in his room
that’s just how it be
oof and when the two of you cuddle gn24igbi42n
if you’re cold, you sleep on his left side. If you’re hot, you sleep on his right side
amazing pillow
10 out of 10
he likes to lay in between your legs while the two of you watch some random movie
he especially loves it when you start playing with his hair and just like trace the middle of his head. admiring the two colors
sometimes he even catches you comparing his silver strands with his red strands
very cute sight indeed
.
now let’s talk about daddy and i don’t mean the kink
Endeavor knows you exist. He had seen you at the Sports Festival and was impressed by how you managed to succeed through each round without really using your quirk ( combat). He was also impressed by how much of a fight you put up against his son, but unfortunately, Shouto won either way. In addition, he had also seen the way his son looked at you. The look of a love struck fool.
“Who’s they?”
“Nunya.”
“Nunya?”
“Nunya fucking business old man.”
but just because your man shut him down once ain’t mean that the older Todoroki gon’ stop there
“How’s, uhhh, how’s (y/n)?”
”No.”
but the same could not be said for sweet momma Rei
Shouto is nonstop talking about you
like fr
this man won’t shut the fuck up
and as much as Rei loves her son talking so beautifully about his lover, she’s getting tired of not being able to actually meet you
like i mean she already saw your face cuz boy is his phone filled with pictures of you and him
when you go to meet her, you’re a nervous wreck
like who wouldn’t be
YOU’RE LITERALLY MEETING THE SECOND LOVE OF HIS LIFE
....
SHE WAS SO FUCKING NICE,,, HOW THE FUCK IS SOMEONE SO NICE WTFFF HOW IS THAT POSSIBLEEEE
you spend hours talking to her. Even up to the point where the two fo you literally forgot Shouto was there. But to be honest, he could care less bc rn he is the happiest man in the universe
it becomes routine for you to go see his mom even if he’s not available
you’d help her with her daily needs, tell her about your day after asking about her’s, you even go out together sometimes
she adores you
and she adores your love for her son
“I can’t wait for the wedding”
he’s a blushing mess while you’re just being a dickhead by saying “same tho, like any day now hubby”
oof i just love this man so much. like at first I was like meh but idk lol maybe it was yagami yato or maybe it was just seeing him and where he’s coming from and idk
I guess I just like dudes with good mommy relationships
and dont you even dare say sangwoo or i will fight
overall mans is amazing and you’re amazing
...
Hope you enjoyed!

Some gintama characters as ASMR "artist"
Sakata Gintoki:
-Listen, Kagura told him it was an easy way to make money while doing something essential, so he gave it a try.
-The kind that has a terrible audio and terrible looking food.
-Nobody follow him for the ASMR, but for all the funny events that happen while he eats or prepares food.
-Like when he drank a carton of strawberry milk, but he didn't notice till it hits his tastebuds that it was spoiled; his expression was priceless.
-With that video he even had to money to pay rent.
-His comment section is divided between people worried for his health and haters that can't wait to see him with diabetes. Bad or good reputantion Gintoki doesn't care, the important thing is to get views. Kamui Yato:
-This man can eat an entire restaurant and as fast he can be videos are always at least 10 minutes long.
-The fact is...he doesn't know he has a youtube channel.
-In fact the idea is born from Abuto and the other members; with all the money they have to spend to feed their captain it is only right to gain something.
-Their captain is so focused into eating that he never noticed the little camera in front of him.
-Kamui is a really messy eater and his videos are mostly appreciated by people that likes to see eating a ton of food in a short time. And from who like his cute face.
-He has also beaten a ton of worlds and universe records. Tama:
-Loved by EVERYBODY.
-Her setting is nice and all her food looks delicious. A ton of people asked her how she prepares it, but Gintoki told her not to tell anyone...
-Tama's videos are mostly asmr, the sound is so good that it doesn't even seem real.
-She also do muckbangs where she tries to answer people questions like "what were you drinking in the last video? It looked so good"
-Tama answer was "high grade oil". Her followers still haven't understood she is an android; they aren't the brightest.
-Her comment section is wholesome and you can't find a single hate comment.
