Because no one asked for it, here’s me going through the Housamo doujins I bought. While some most of them are NSFW these descriptions will be SFW and are entirely based on me looking at pictures imagine being able to read.
【ポストカード付】そんなショコラよりlove me do!? / のら眼鏡 
Tumblr media
Actually SFW, two stories but the second one is entirely text so I have no clue what happens during it, can come with some “postcards” if you buy the version with them (they’re just little cards with some art on them that also show up in the book). Aegir and Dagon just show up at your school to abduct take MC5 out, Aegir just picks up Kengo and yeets him, Dagon bribes Shiro and Ryota with food. They bring you to Kabukicho and the Outlaws (minus Shino) make a quick appearance. The three of you get drunk and pass out in the bar (underage drinking bad I definitely never did that, do as I say, not as I do). Afterwords a box and some letters come in and MC2 along with the gang go through them. The letters end up just being pictures of Aegir and Dagon, Aegir’s are pretty much just horny but Dagon has one of himself and Makara making food (very wholesome, he still sends a horny one though, the box might have been filled with the food they are shown eating during this).  Then the next story happens but it’s pages of Japanese text so who knows what happens there, but it ends with MC1 eating bread with Dagon in an apron (Dagon apron skin when LW?)
アンドヴァリさんは仲良くなりたい / スタジオヒゲモリ 
Tumblr media
I love Higemorigen’s artstyle. Starts off with Andvari in trouble and running from something but he falls off a cliff, with MC3 catching him just in time. After MC pulls him up they’re really close, Andvari leans up and puckers up hoping for a kiss but MC as always is a big dumb, doesn’t realize it, and hugs Andvari. We get a title page with MC and Andvari in an outfit swap. Back at the Berserker’s Colosseum Andvari is being a gay mess on the floor and Bathym is 100% teasing him, Nomad almost seems to be yelling at someone, and Kamui is doing... Kamui things. MC then leaves the colosseum and meets up with the Summoners who are just outside, Macan is also here. As MC is walking away he suddenly thinks of Andvari, at that moment Shiro starts talking to him and hands him something, MC then turns around and runs back. Garmr wants something (maybe to play) but Andvari just waves him off and walks away. Garmr then launches himself at Oniwaka and has tears in his eyes. Oniwaka carries Garmr to MC who just got back and they have a little stare down moment. Next thing MC is falling from the sky right into the hotsprings that Andvari is at (idk). After a little bit both of them are in the hotsprings and MC kisses Andvari, you know how the rest of this goes. At the end Claude and Snow walk to where the two are (Higemori draws an amazing Snow and Claude is bonus points for me) and the two are passed out (very dangerous). Claude almost looks sad or disappointed.
ハッテンティーチャー / トラトラ屋 
Tumblr media
Pretty much entirely porn so not much I can talk about. Triton and Jinn are arguing (nothing new) and for some reason MC3 is knocked out on the floor of the hallway. The next logical step for Triton is to strip and show some wHOLEsome things to Jinn and Jinn does it right back. I think Triton imagines Jinn is Mononobe for some reason. They have sex right then and there (MC is 3 feet away and you’re in the hallways of school, very irresponsible). After it’s done it shows MC is hiding his phone so he wasn’t unconscious for that. They might enter the room they were right in front of but basically round two happens shortly after. This time it’s Jinn that’s imagining that Triton is Mononobe. Afterwords they see that MC has been either taking pictures or recording them so they get dressed and start scolding him, I think (remember I can’t read). At that moment Aizen and Ophion are there and Aizen is either pissed or dumbfounded (what are they doing here?). Then it shows Triton and Jinn walking into the bathroom and Mononobe is at the urinal, they walk up, get real close, and start looking. Mononobe doesn’t seem impressed.

Nejiten Month Day One: Gender Bend
As usual, I can’t seem to write under 2000 words, not even for an event that has a prompt for every single day. which is part of the reason this is so late. anyway. This will be uploaded to fanfiction.net and AO3 within the next few days.
NOTE: This story is rated M for non-graphic sexual situations and some language.
Tenten was twelve years old and so, so glad that she managed to land on one of the few genin teams that had two girls.
Nejiko Hyuga wasn’t friendly, exactly, or even very nice, but she was a girl, so it meant that Tenten would have someone else to lean on and commiserate with while Gai and Lee ran around each other in circles, ignoring the two of them in favor of their newfound bond.
When it became clear in the next few weeks that the favoritism of Lee was going to be permanent, Tenten had expected Nejiko to speak up in her demanding Hyuga way- because Konoha practically worshipped the Hyuga Clan, and its members acted that way too- but instead she had watched Nejiko swallow her words and keep her silence.
So Tenten had bellowed at Gai-sensei and Lee that the two kunoichi were going to the edge of the field for target practice, and they spent several quiet hours letting their kunai and shuriken thump into the targets. 
Nejiko eventually broke the silence. “I have several techniques with my kekkei genkai that I’d like to practice. Will you spar with me?”
Tenten shrugged and glanced at Gai and Lee- not ignoring the kunoichi, exactly, because the team trained together all the time, it was just that the two got tunnel vision sometimes- and replied to her teammate, “Sure.”
And so they went.
 Being a kunoichi was hard enough with two of them on the team. Tenten didn’t even want to contemplate what it would have been like if it had just been her.
Tenten was fourteen years old, and had a giant, embarrassing crush on Temari no Sabaku. 
She was the kunoichi who had brutally defeated her in the chunin exams, who would have killed her if she had been given the chance, who had betrayed the village- but now she was a diplomat, the villages were allies, and Temari was just. So. Hot.
Ugh. Tenten wrenched her eyes away from the sight of Temari’s crossed legs, sleek and tan in their protective mesh. What kind of kunoichi let herself get so addled by a lust-based crush? A pathetic one.
“Tenten.” Based on the impatience in Nejiko’s voice, she had been trying to get Tenten’s attention for a while now. Tenten crinkled her nose guiltily. “Sorry, what?”
The two of them were close now, after the disastrous chunin exams when so much of Nejiko’s family life had been laid bare. The daughter of the unfavored son, condemned to bound servitude as she watched her cousin be bent and broken into the role of heir, Hinata’s own sister- “the spare”- ready for the moment she faltered.
Nejiko’s conflicted emotions over Hinata made perfect sense to Tenten- because she was forced to subjugation despite her talent even as her cousin was forced to lead despite her incompetence of mind, body, and spirit. Hinata lacked the strong Hyuga fighting techniques, she did not have the seemingly necessary cruelty of the Clan Head, and she had no desire whatsoever to be the heiress.
So Nejiko both understood and envied her cousin, and those conflicting emotions boiled over in a match that ended with Hinata in the hospital and Nejiko in a seething, desperate rage. 
(“Fight back!”
“I- I can’t-”
“YOU ARE THE HEIRESS. YOU ARE THE REASON FOR MY SUBJUGATION.” (Nejiko’s voice had cracked.) “PROVE TO ME THAT YOU DESERVE IT! FIGHT BACK!”
Nejiko came into Tenten’s hospital room not to visit, but to have a place where she could let all of her tears- complicated, angry tears- run dry in privacy.)
And then Naruto had stumbled onto the scene, loud and brash and golden-haired (and golden-hearted), and Tenten had learned things about Nejiko that made her ache for her teammate.
But she kept it to herself, because Nejiko never wanted pity. But it seemed like she wanted friendship, now.
Also, she was pissed at Tenten for ignoring her. “Stop staring at her.”
Tenten felt hot and itchy. “I’m not staring at anyone.”
“Liar.” Nejiko’s flat voice and blunt words made Tenten grit her teeth. “You are staring at the Suna kunoichi who defeated you in the chunin exams. For some reason that lies in anger, I assume, because you would not be so stupid as to develop feelings for someone who betrayed our village.”
Tenten sputtered, completely thrown off. Nejiko narrowed her eyes at her and waited. 
Finally, she blurted, “Well, you have feelings for Naruto!”
“Only sometimes,” Nejiko responded, surprisingly honest. “Most of the time he’s too stupid.”
Tenten forgot her anger and grinned. “You think everyone’s stupid, though, so you may as well crush on someone who really is stupid.”
“Shut up.” Nejiko gave her a look- it was one of the ways she smiled now, because she still  tried to hide it a little bit but let parts of it show, where her lips would purse and her eyes would do all the smiling for her. “We have training. Let’s go.”
She set off down the road, hair flowing behind her, and not for the first time Tenten was struck by how differently Nejiko was from her cousin Hinata, even just physically- she was the tallest girl Tenten knew by far, with lean muscle and narrow shoulders.
Maybe once she was done with her lusty crush on Temari, she’d get one on Nejiko.
The thought made her grin spread even wider and a chuckle simmer in her throat, but she swallowed it down when Nejiko snapped her fingers at her impatiently, not even bothering to turn around. Crush alleviated, she ran past her teammate and towards the training field, tugging on Nejiko’s silky hair as she went by.
Nejiko let out a small gasp- of indignance, presumably- and gave chase.
Having a friend who was also a girl was nice. When Tenten unexpectedly got her period on a mission, Nejiko had extra tampons. She also let Tenten do up her hair in elaborate styles for festivals, because it was a hobby that Tenten enjoyed but rarely got to practice. They went to the hotsprings together once a month and got lunch together on their days off. They were best friends, probably.
Tenten was sixteen and the blood sang in her veins.
They had just finished a day of team training and Tenten had staggered away from a spar with Gai with a black eye and and sore muscles, but they’d also had a great time practicing nunchucks together. Nejiko was planning on escorting Hinata to the hotsprings and they’d asked Tenten if she’d like to come along, then somewhere along the way Sakura and Ino were invited. It promised to be a fun time, and Tenten set off for her apartment to get changed and grab her bag before she met up with the Hyuga cousins.
She paused long enough to scrub some of the residual sweat and dirt off her face, then, adrenaline still buzzing from her day of sparring, ran to the Hyuga compound.
Hinata and Nejiko were just outside the gates and beginning a slow walk towards the springs. Tenten jumped down from the rooftop and landed next to them, splattering Nejiko with the water droplets that had been caught in her hair. “Hey!”
Hinata greeted her quietly in return, while Nejiko flicked water off her face and back onto Tenten with an irate frown. Tenten grinned guiltily. 
“Sorry, did I get you?”
“Yes.” Nejiko made a face. “Why are you so wet, anyway?”
“Washed my face before coming over.”
“Why?”
Tenten squinted at her. “Is that a trick question?”
Hinata shifted on her feet awkwardly, and Nejiko glanced at her out of the corner of her eye. “Whatever. Let’s go.” She marched out, arms folded over her chest and plainly expecting them to follow.
In the changing room, after Nejiko had stalked out of the room with Sakura and Ino, Tenten quietly asked Hinata, “Did something happen at the Compound? She was in a good mood after practice…”
Hinata stilled, then slowly resumed putting her bag away. “She was called away to talk to Father and the others. I am unsure of what transpired, only that it was brief and she seemed upset for a few minutes before becoming… angry.”
“Oh.” Tenten watched the end of her teammate’s hair flick around the corner. “I’ll talk to her later, maybe, and hopefully the hotsprings will have eased some of the tension.” Hinata nodded.
They walked into the spring, chatting about easier subjects- like the advantages of senbon over shuriken, but the superiority of kunai over both (which was a stance Tenten would not budge on, no matter what, ever.)
Sakura and Ino were both slowly melting into the water, looking pleased, but Nejiko sat stiffly in the water, staring straight ahead. Tenten sat the way she usually did in the water, elbows propped on the sides of the spring as she stretched out her back. 
“Ahh, that feels nice.”
Ino cracked open her eyes to look at her. “Always such an old man, Tenten-senpai.”
She ignored her, and they all sat quietly for the next few minutes. The only sounds were from the water rippling softly against the walls, the steam in the air, and their breathing. 
Tenten cracked open her eyes from where she had closed them in time to catch Nejiko giving her a half smile and turn away again, her shoulders finally relaxing. Tenten smiled at her profile before closing her eyes again and sinking even deeper into the water.
A few minutes later, Nejiko said, “Tenten.”
She blinked up at her sleepily. “Hm?”
“You’re humming.”
“No I’m not.”
“You are,” Sakura chimed in. Hinata nodded in agreement, and Ino said, “Sounded nice, though.” 
Tenten flushed a little. “Uh, thanks.” Nejiko was smirking at her, and Tenten stuck her tongue out at her in response. 
Hinata, Sakura, and Ino departed together half an hour later to do some shopping before Sakura’s shift at the hospital, and Tenten and Nejiko settled into the water again after saying goodbye. Tenten faced forward and watched her teammate through half-closed eyes, wondering when the best time would be to bring up her earlier anger.
She should have known better than to try to watch a Hyuga discreetly. 
“What is it, Tenten?” Nejiko hadn’t even opened her eyes. 
Tenten twitched a little. “When we left training today, you were in a pretty good mood. Hinata told me you had to talk to some Elders, and then you were pissed. What’d they do?”
As she had been talking, Nejiko’s shoulders had slowly stiffened again, until she was ramrod straight and staring ahead once more. “Nothing.”
Tenten rolled her eyes. “Nejiko, come on.” She stood up and crossed so she was next to her teammate- who had blushed and averted her eyes at the sight of Tenten’s naked torso. (It was flattering, maybe, because Tenten still didn’t know if Nejiko liked girls too, but it was definitely a cute reaction.) She grabbed Nejiko’s arm so she’d meet her eyes again. “Tell me. Please.”
Nejiko seemingly couldn’t look at Tenten, staring at some spot next to her face. “It is the same as usual. I am a Branch upstart and must settle into my place. Every achievement I make reflects poorly on the strength of the heir. This time it was brought on by my recent promotion to jonin.”
Tenten grimaced. “That sucks.” 
Nejiko nodded, her gaze falling to the waterline. She seemingly had nothing else to say. 
Tenten released her grip on her arm and sat back again before realizing that she’d inadvertently flashed Nejiko again. She didn’t really care, personally, but Nejiko went full crimson and slammed her eyes shut. 
Tenten chuckled low in her throat. “You have breasts too, Nejiko.” So saying, she reached out and poked the upper part of Nejiko’s chest, at the very top of what could be considered breast and not collarbone. Nejiko startled like a cat, and Tenten laughed outright (and tried to ignore the pink of areola that could be seen rising from the water, and the pretty flush working its way down Nejiko’s neck and tops of her breasts.)
She grinned at her teammate, saying “Wow, and I thought only retired ANBU were that jumpy-” when Nejiko suddenly set her mouth in a determined line, staring at Tenten with a blazing expression. Tenten blinked. “Uh, what-”
She was cut off as Nejiko jerked forward, and pale, soft lips pressed against her own.
"Perhaps, if I had been a man, my burdens would not be so heavy," Nejiko mused to Tenten once. "I would have that advantage, at least." 
Tenten lifted her head up from where it was pressed against her hip, Nejiko’s long fingers carding through her hair. “And then things would be all that worse for Hinata.”
“That’s true.” Nejiko ran her fingertips over Tenten’s mouth, her cheeks, her eyelids. “And I would not have you.”
“Yes you would.” 
“You do not like men that way.”
“Yes, I do. I just like women more usually, is all.” She peered up at Nejiko through her lashes. “And I like you no matter what.”
“Mm.” Nejiko smiled tenderly and resumed the steady motion of her hand through Tenten’s hair. She rested her head back down at her lover’s side. 
Tenten was twenty and in love.
The single, slight advantage they had over the Hyuga Clan and its antiquated views and traditions was that it never even occurred to them that when the Hyuga prodigy went to spend the night at her female teammates house, it was because they were fucking all night long.
Two women? Having sex? No indeed, just gals being pals. Tenten thought to herself giddily as Nejiko flipped them around so Tenten was beneath her, then grabbed her hands and raised them above her head. The position stretched out her torso and pushed her breasts against Nejiko’s ribs, and she smirked as the Hyuga paused to take in the sight of her. 
Under that pale gaze, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, preening like a smug cat. 
Nejiko responded by covering her mouth in a harsh kiss and dipping her hand into those lacy red panties that matched the lacy red bra that Tenten had been wearing under her little black dress, both of which were now somewhere on the floor along with Nejiko’s beautiful kimono.
So yes, Tenten told Lee later, date night had gone very well, but she would spare him the details.
But there was still a residual somberness to Nejiko that hadn’t been there before the war, before Hiashi was killed and the clan forced Hanabi and Hinata to fight for the position of Clan Head. Hinata would never truly regain the use of her right arm- Hanabi was always more forceful and dutiful than her sister- but the sudden and abrupt heart attack of one of the Elders had halted proceedings, and Hinata and Hanabi were doing such a smooth job jointly running the clan that the Hyuga Council had just let the matter go for now.
(It had been the most hilarious coincidence of timing that Tenten had ever seen, when Hinata and Hanabi were preparing to clash again and the Elder let out a little “hurk!” and keeled over. There were definitely some branch members who had walked away with a little spring in their step.)
By Tenten’s own diagnosis, the cure for Nejiko’s PTSD and somberness was lots of kissing, cuddling, and sex with her girlfriend. Also the Hokage-mandated group therapy sessions.
Nejiko was mostly just living with Tenten at this point. They split rent and utilities and groceries, most of her clothes were in the larger dresser they’d just purchased together, she slept almost nightly in the larger bed they’d just purchased together, she’d moved all of her personal knicknacks into the apartment, and- most intimately of all- Nejiko’s tea set, the one left to her by her parents, was used every morning by the Hyuga to start their day together.
Tenten was just waiting for Nejiko to officially state her desire to live together. Whenever she was ready.
One night Nejiko was dropping by the Hyuga compound to meet with Hinata, Hanabi, and a few choice Elders, so Tenten was alone for the night. She dropped by the hospital to chat with Sakura over her break, then at the medic’s request brought Ino a container of something labelled “Biohazard” (and Ino had looked manically pleased to receive it, then squinted at Tenten and hissed, “No questions!” Tenten had just held her hands up innocently and backed away.)
She found herself in a bar, chatting lightly with Shikamaru and Temari as they stumbled their way through flirting with each other. It was fun to watch- like a spectator sport, where both teams were working towards the same goal and also tripping and flailing and getting flustered every time they made eye contact but determinedly trying to get the other team into their pants.
Shikamaru was briefly called away to chat with another person from Shizune’s office staff- he wasn’t officially an advisor, but he was in every other way- and Temari turned to Tenten. “So, how are things with Nejiko-san?”
Tenten grinned, always delighted to talk about her girl. “Pretty good! Huuuuuuuuuge sex increase after the war, because we’re both fuckin’ traumatized and want physical comfort!”
There was a long, drawn out silence.
Tenten wrinkled her nose. “Hm. I’m more drunk than I thought.”
Temari did not do a good job stifling her laugh. “No- um, you seem- uh, really coherent. Full- full sentences and everything.”
Tenten mock-toasted her. “I’m not too drunk to discern a terrible lie, though.”
“And use such fancy vocabulary.” Temari clinked her glass against Tenten’s with that fierce grin that used to make Tenten go weak in the knees. The thought made her blurt out, “You know, I used to have such a crush on you.”
Temari set her cocktail down with a jerk. “You- you did?”
“Yuh-huh.” Tenten nodded sagely. “After you kicked my ass at the chunin exams. I was so pissed and you were so hot and I was going through puberty and just so horny all the time and everything boiled over and if you so much as looked at me I melted.”
“O-Oh.” Temari blinked at her, mouth opening and closing as she searched for words. “Well, thanks?” Tenten threw back her head and laughed, the absurdity of the conversation finally catching up to her. 
After her giggles had petered out- Temari had buried her own laughter in her arms, propped on the bar in front of them, so at least they both looked ridiculous- Tenten opened her eyes, head still tilted back, and found the softly smiling eyes of Nejiko staring down at her. 
She lit up. “Hey!” Nejiko leaned down and kissed her forehead. “Hello.” She turned to Temari and gave her a much less loving smile, but no less warm. “Good evening, Temari-san.” Temari stifled her last giggles in her hand, weakly waving in greeting at Nejiko. 
Tenten watched, enthralled, as Nejiko turned back to her. “Would you like to stay any longer, or should we head home?” Her mouth was so fascinating when she talked, lips pressing together and separating, tongue tapping against teeth, words forming and falling from the back of her throat.
“I love you,” Tenten mumbled. That lovely mouth parted in shock, then a soft, wonderstruck smile curled the lips upwards. 
“I love you too.”
“Noice,” Tenten blurted. She was so pleased she fell off her barstool.

Seeking to Seize Chapter 17
Tumblr media
AO3
‘Is this really the time to be worrying about a school festival?’
Yosuke has the nerve to look offended. ‘The team needs the morale, Partner! As long as we keep checking the Midnight Channel, what’s the harm?’ They’re in Yu’s uncle’s living room doing homework, and even though Nanako is taking her bath upstairs and his uncle is at work, Yosuke keeps using sign language. It makes Yu feel warm. ‘You could use a distraction, too. I can tell how stressed you’ve been lately.’
Yu sighs, because Yosuke’s right. All this waiting makes him antsy. He almost wishes the killer would make a move so they could get a lead. But that’s probably a bad thing to hope for, so he doesn’t bring it up. Instead, he signs, ‘Is that why you signed the girls up for the pageant?’
‘The only other two people signed up were Hanako and Kashiwagi-sensei.’
Yu makes a face that makes Yosuke laugh. ‘Are teacher even allowed to do that?’
Yosuke shrugs. ‘There’s no rule against it. I think Kashiwagi-sensei is the only one who’s ever tried.’
‘How does she even still have a job?’ Yu asks. ‘If she were a male teacher, she would’ve been fired a long time ago.’
‘King Moron didn’t exactly give the school a lot of time to find a replacement. Besides,’ Yosuke adds, ‘we just have to deal with her for a few more months. She won’t be teaching third years next year, so we’re safe there.’
Yu’s heart almost stops. ‘Yosuke,’ he signs, fingers heavy, ‘I won’t be here for our third year. I’m going back to Tokyo.’
Yosuke’s face falls. “Oh, yeah,” he says aloud.
Lighthearted conversation effectively ruined, they return to their homework.
The group date café is just as awkward as Chie thought it would be. She doesn’t even get to sit across from Yukiko because the class rep is here, so she has to look at Kanji instead. At least Kanji’s trying, she thinks, suppressing the urge to glare at the class rep.
Then Yukiko answers a question with, “My favorite hobby is defeating Shadows,” and Chie’s stomach drops. Yosuke rushes to cover it up and Chie, to change the subject, says the girls will ask the next question. Yukiko asks, “What kind of girls do you like?”
Yu, who has been a little downtrodden, looks Yosuke in the eyes and signs, ‘Yosuke.’
Yosuke goes red and averts his eyes.
‘You didn’t seem too surprised about the crossdress pageant,’ Yukiko signs to Yu as they walk to the home ec. room to ghim changed. They’ve already done his make-up (not that he needed much—he’s pretty for a boy) and borrowed a silver wig from the drama club room. All that’s left is finding the perfect outfit.
Yu signs, ‘I figured some revenge was coming. Yosuke really railroaded you guys, and Kanji and I didn’t try to stop it.’
‘What were you thinking in terms of costume?’ Yukiko asks as she pushes the door to the home ec. room open.
Their eyes fall on it at the same time and they know.
Yosuke feels exposed in a way he really doesn’t like. “How do girls wear these?” he hisses at Chie, tugging at the bottom of the pink skirt he’s been forced into. “One wayward breeze and everyone will be able to see my nads!” He bends at the knees to scratch at his shins. “And these socks are itchy as hell!”
Chie gives him a quick smack on the arm. “Cut that out! You’ll flash everyone!”
“Well, you should’ve given me a longer skirt!”
“Stop complaining! I have to wear a bathing suit in front of the entire school thanks to you!”
“You’re scaring the emcee,” Rise says,  a laughing tone in her voice, and Yosuke and Chie turn around and see her walking up the short set of stairs leading from the floor to the stage, leading Kanji who is, for some reason, dressed like Marilyn Monroe. His knees are slightly bent and he keeps swinging his hips to watch the white skirt of his dress swirl around him. Yosuke can barely keep  himself from laughing.
Chie cranes her neck to look around them. “Where’re Yu and Yukiko?”
Rise shrugs. Kanji says, “Amagi-senpai says it’s gonna be a surprise,” in his usual deep voice, which is extremely inappropriate for his current appearance.
Rise’s phone buzzes, and she laughs when she reads the text. “Teddie is giving Naoto-san some trouble,” she says. “He wants winged eyeliner and they don’t know how to do it.” She flips her phone closed and tilts her head up to look at Kanji. “Do you mind if I run and help? I’ll be sure to vote for you even if I’m not back before the whole thing starts.”
Between the layers of makeup and the dimly-lit backstage it’s hard to tell, but Yosuke things Kanji is blushing. “Go help Naoto-san,” he says. “No one should stand alone against Teddie.”
Rise laughs again and scurries away. Chie glances at her own phone and says, “I better go, too. I gotta save a place for Yukiko when she finally shows up.” She levels a glare at Yosuke. “Don’t flash anyone!”
The emcee doesn’t wait much longer before he starts the pageant, even though Yu and Teddie still haven’t arrived. From his place off stage, Yosuke hears him ask “Kanji-chan,” “What would you say is your best feature?”
“My eyes,” Kanji replies, and the crowd laughs.
“An eloquent heiress of thee noble Junes,” the emcee says, “she’s pure disappointment from the moment she opens her mouth!” Ouch. Rude. “Presenting Yosuke-chan of the second year class two!”
Feeling more awkward than he’s ever felt in his life, Yosuke walks to stand next to Kanji and, meek, says, “Hi.”
The crowd gets noisy again, and Yosuke wants so badly to retreat. Calm yourself, Jiraya says in his mind. This moment will not define you unless you let it. Relax. Let yourself have some fun with this.
He takes a deep breath and nods, mostly to himself. When the emcee asks if he normally dresses like this, he giggles and says, “It’s not my usual style. The skirt is a little too short for my taste.” And this time, when the crowd laughs, Yosuke somehow knows they’re not laughing to be mean—they’re laughing because they think he’s funny.
“We’re laughingstocks up here!” Kanji hisses in his ear over the din.
“No,” says Yosuke, “we’re the only ones with enough balls to go through with this.”
The emcee suddenly brightens. “She has the mildly bitter tang of the city,” he says, “and her lack of a voice has only made her more endearing! Presenting our transfer student who’s been breaking hearts in the second year class two, Yu-chan!”
It’s instinct that drives Yosuke to turn his head, so seek Yu out, and his heart drops when his partner comes into view.
Because Yu looks goddamn beautiful.
It’s obvious he and Yukiko took this more seriously than the others. He’s wearing a light colored kimono detailed with a likeness of Mt. Fuji, and his silver wig has been styled and pinned into place with an ornate hair ornament. He carries himself with a dignity Yosuke didn’t think was possible when crossdressing. How is he so pretty? he asks himself.
Jiraya says, You should tell him how you feel before someone else takes him away from you.
Him being gay doesn’t mean he’ll like me! Yosuke retorts. You’re the one who told me that!
If you think this is the same kind of situation, you are far more oblivious than I thought.
You’re supposed to be on my side here!
I am. You just don’t see it yet.
Then Teddie blazes onto the scene dressed up like Alice in Wonderland, and Yosuke is jarred from his thoughts for the time being.
No one’s particularly surprised when Rise wins the real pageant. She knows the boys and Naoto-san tried to spread their votes evenly between her, Chie-senpai, and Yukiko-senpai, but the rest of the school didn’t care. And, sure, maybe she used some of her Risette charm, but she’s a competitive girl. So sue her.
She and the other girls put their school uniforms back on and they meet up with the rest of the team. Rise grabs one of Kanji’s arms and one of Naoto-san’s, linking them together in a chain. “The festival’s almost over. What should we do now?”
Before anyone can answer her, Yu-senpai’s uncle drops Nanako-chan off with them. She’s delighted; she loves Nanako-chan. Everyone on the team does. It’d be hard not to love such a cute, innocent little girl. Nanako-chan hangs onto Yu-senpai’s pant let as they discuss what to do next, and when Yukiko-senpai offers the inn and hotsprings to them, she smiles hard and wide enough to shame the sun.
Kanji-kun swings Nanako-chan up on his shoulders as they walk to the bus stop, with Naoto-san walking on one side and Rise on the other. “Do you want to take a bath with the girls or with the boys?” Rise asks Nanako-chan.
Nanako-chan screws up her face to think and says, “The girls. Onii-chan already takes a bath with me sometimes if I’m really sad, so I wanna try taking a bath with girls for a change!”
A thought suddenly occurs to Rise and she leans forward to look at Naoto-san. “Who do you feel comfortable bathing with?”
Naoto-san opens their mouth to reply, but Nanako-chan interrupts. “Naoto-niichan should take a bath with the other boys!”
Kanji-kun looks ready to say something when Naoto-san speaks instead. “Nanako-chan,” they say, “I look like a girl, and I dress like a boy, but I don’t feel like either. Since the Amagi Inn only has girl bath times and boy bath times, Rise-san wants to know when I would like to take my bath.”
Nanako-chan seems confused. “If you’re not a boy, I can’t call you Naoto-niichan, and if you’re not a girl, I can’t call you Naoto-neechan. What can I call you, then?”
And Rise can’t help but laugh, because of course that’s what Nanako-chan would be worried about.
There’s something a little strange about Onii-chan’s friends, Nanako thinks.
They’re all very nice! They treat her well, not like a nuisance like her dad’s work friends do sometimes. But none of them really look like they should be friends. Nanako has never seen a TV show where a delinquent becomes friends with an idol, or where the son of a big store like Junes becomes friends with a detective. But her teachers always say not to judge based on looks, so maybe this is actually normal.
Then she gets in the bath with some of them.
It’s the girls’ turn first, so Nanako lets Onii-chan help her into her yukata when they get to the big room everyone is sharing. He smiles at her like he’s saying “Have fun!” and she’s whisked off by the girls and Naoto-san. (Nanako doesn’t like calling them “Naoto-san.” It makes them sound old, like someone her dad would go drinking with. She has to find something else to call them.)
After they wash, Yukiko-neechan helps her put her hair up so it doesn’t get in the hot water. “You can wear your towel in the water,” she says as she tucks one corner of Nanako’s fluffy white towel against her skin to keep it secure, “but you don’t have to.” Nanako notices that Yukiko-neechan’s towel is a lot looser than her’s. She probably won’t wear it in the bath.
Rise-neechan doesn’t even bother wrapping her towel around herself. She just holds it against her front to hide her bathing suit parts. Her skin is really pretty, Nanako notices. Pale, no moles or freckles. Is her skin nice because she’s an idol? Or is she an idol because her skin is nice?
Nanako pauses at the edge of the bath, and, after some deliberation (seeing all the other girls doing it), drops her towel.
Rise-neechan, she sees, is the only one with perfect skin.
It’s not as obvious with Naoto-san, because they’re still wearing their towel, but everyone but Rise-neechan has scars. They’re small, for the most part, little silvery lines almost completely faded. If they weren’t all naked, Nanako would have never noticed. Chie-neechan has the biggest; it’s in the middle of her chest, where a bathing suit that wasn’t a bikini would cover it, and it looks kind of like a burn mark.
No one talks about the scars. They talk about how soft Naoto-san’s skin is, or exams, or the school festival, but no one mentions the scars.
Anything but the scars.
So, yeah, Onii-chan’s friends are a little strange, because the girls and Naoto-san are all so pretty and pretty people shouldn’t have scars.

Tumblr media
I would love for you to repeat the “scary” - Part for all thiose who have played Hajimari and made this idiot one of their favorite Trails characters ever. (I am serious here. Give this backstabbing murderer a freaking redemption Arc and and the Players are sudeenly pretending he is the greatest guy ever...)
Tumblr media
It took me ages to actually fully understand that the curse not just makes them want war and stop thinking of any possible consequences, but also makes them forget their heroes who they would usually trust to bring an end to this nonsense. It takes away hope of ending this war before it started and also makes sure people only trust the military and no one else.
Tumblr media
Xin is propably another victim of the Audio-Drama-CD-Course. Because once again, he is a character that suddenly showed up, had some sort of connection to the main characters (or at least one of them) and we have no idea who this person is or were the connection comes from. Its frustrating, really.
Tumblr media
Its not like we as the players have any right to know or reason to want to know what those two are talking about... so keep it vague, its not like we care or anything... MY ASS!
Tumblr media
I always wondered if they inteded for Jona to be Tios loveinterested eventually. Technically speaking, Tio belongs to Lloyds Harem, but with the direction Hajimari went and honestly the Crossbellgames as well I felt like it was always intended for Elie to eventually end up as Lloyds Canon-Partner, making character like Tio and Noelle available for other. (In Noelles case, it seems to go into Wazys direction... tho I always thought he way gay... but the game is queer-baiting a lot, so lets not even try to get there...) Anyway... I think that is a way smarter move then what they did with Reans harem. I mean, look at Hajimari. Technically speaking Rean has chosen his Girl at this point, is together with her for like half a year even, yet he gets into the hotspring with Claire, does his usual unintended and yet strong  flirting and here we are talking about a character you could never really date and yet, despite being REALLY at that age, she still is kept open just for staying an option for Rean. That is NOT a good thing for stronger who are as strong and independent as our Cold Steel Girls are. You might argue that an independent girl doesn’t need a boyfriend in the first place and to some degree you are right BUT keeping herself warm for Rean destroys the picture of independence completely. After all those years especially Claire deserved to move on. But I degres. (BTW... total bullshit what they do here. Schera already called him Jona, and we barely see his freckles from this angle anyway...)
Tumblr media
Just in case you haven’t been down already, Jona makes sure that you will feel heartbroken, thinking of the fact that Scheras Name was the last thing he talked about before he got blown up and that there were probably many things left unsaid when that happened. And even tho Olivert mentions her, we haven’t seen her at all in CS3 and given that even Agate barely had any time for his princess, overprotective as he is, its very likely that Olivert and Schera als well did not have much time with each other. Given Schera probably lots of regrets.
Tumblr media
Not enough pain for you yet? Watch Schera suffer while she remembers Oliverts last words to her and seeing how he got blow up while she was still in Heimdall doing Bracer-Stuff.  
Tumblr media
And now we have FINALLY finished all the Introduction-Sequences and start with the actual Prologue. Yes, its been like 1 and a half hours or so, just watching scenes with non of our main protagonists. It felt actually like half the time the game was only making sure we remember painfully well that Olivert is dead. You know... just in case you had any hope left. We got nothing about Class7 not old nor new. Nothing about Rean. No sign of Osborne or Crow either. All we know is, that behind the scenes, people who are not class 7 are gathering to do what they can, while we are heading towards war very fast the curse is doing its job.
Tumblr media
This here surprised even me XD Who would have thought of all people to start Cold Steel 4 with, we start with the Main couples of the previous Trails-Sagas and their adopted children? ^^’ Working together no less. I mean, obviously those characters know each other and have been working together before, but it is still a rare sight you would not expect in a freaking Cold Steel Game.
Tumblr media
Honestly? I’ve I would have been ask to tell one single good thing that the Crossbell-Saga brought into the Trails-Saga then the answer would definitely be KeA XD So I can absolutely understand Estelle here.
Tumblr media
Just in case you have forgotten that prince Olivert is dead or just in case you have been trying to get over it and move on... here is your casual regularly reoccurring reminder that we have lost him. When I played the game for the first time I already knew he was alive, but I had just finished CS3 for the first time and the pain of seeing him die was quite fresh so I still felt like crying every time they mentioned Oliver was gone and that happened A LOT XD
Tumblr media
If you think about it, for us as the player, this prolouge was fanservice at best. WE do know what happened in Heimdall and we also do know the gist of what they are planning next. I get that they wanted to show us how those 6 found out about everything but it still seems somehow unnecessary to go all the way to create this section of the Orchis tower just for a Prologue that wasn’t exactly necessary.
Then again... this was probably supposed to be a hold-off. Think about it. The last time you saw Rean, he was in chains, propably still out of his mind, somewhere in the dark. Class7 old and new were still stuck in the Gral with all the enemies when shit went down. Tita, Tio, Towa (playing the T-Game just for fun here ;P) and the others were still fighting outside against strong enemies. We knew that Crow got his memories back but not what he was going to do with it. Same goes for Duvalie finding out that she was not happy with what her Lord decided. So right now, with the constant reminder that Olivert will not swoop in with his Couragous any second now to save our guys and girls, we are kept from finding out what happened to the people we really care about right now. Don’t get me wrong here, of course we are happy to see Estelle and Co. again, but its not like they have been in immediate danger last time we saw them. And yet... the way we have to go now is anything but short.
Tumblr media
Its extremely adorable how, after you win a battle KeA comes running to the Victory-Screen to congratulate you XD
Tumblr media
It makes one wonder how long it will take to see them back in action now that the Calvard-Arc is starting. Only 10% of Charakters showing up there will be know ones and it is hinted that we will only see people like Killika. Zin and Renne. So it might be a while (after Hajimari that is) until we see those guys again at all, yet alone working together.

For your "Send Me a Character" could you do Tenzo if no one has asked yet? I hate that you are sick! I hope you feel better soon, Captain. I'd make you chicken noodle soup and tell you sweet MadaKaka stories if you weren't so far away.
Aww thank you berry!  You know just what a girl needs to feel better lol!  Also, I keep switching between Yamato and Tenzou, because I can never decide on what to call him.  He wants to be called Yamato, but I personally like Tenzou better, but I want to respect this fictional character’s wishes, so I call him Yamato, but then the ask framed him as Tenzou so idk here i am, floating along.
Tumblr media
First impression
No. No no nonono.  I want Kakashi.  I don’t want this whoever he is, bring back Kakashi.  So what, he can make a box and has a scary face, who would honestly be scared by that it’s dumb. He’s dumb.  Where’s Kakashi?  Why is Kakashi gone? I don’t care I want Kakashi bring him back bringhimbackbringhimbaaaaaack
Impression now
My wonderous tree child, love of my life, apple of my eye, poor, precious baby who has been abadoned by his creator and forced to become a joke while he follows around the source of his trauma, you deserved better.  This world was not good enough for you.  Sweet angel, I want only soft and lovely things for you.  Also, boy is cut.  Have you seen those arms?  Did you watch the filler episode where he’s soaking in an undergound hotspring shirtless (during the arc where they’re shipping him out with Naruto to the Turtle Island in Lightening)?  DID YOU SEE THAT?  Because that was when I started thinking ol’cat eyes was attractive.
Favorite moment
When Naruto, Kakashi, and Tenzou were at Ichiraku, and Yamato was trying to get Kakashi to pay the bill because he’s the upperclassman, and Kakashi tricks my poor, sweet, lovely, marshmellow Tenzou into paying for their meal.  Precious child, you’re too good and pure for this world.  So much love for Yamato.
Idea for a story
Tenzou and Tobirama meet.  They bond over having the same face-plate, and being practical ninja who take safety seriously.  Alright, alright, a serious one.  Tenzou was born Senju Nawaki.  Dazou (being an utter bastard) totally fucking kidnapped him for experimentation, and switched him with another baby (who becomes the canon Nawaki.  I’m going to say Orochin wasn’t a total ass at this point and wouldn’t have experimented on Nawaki for Tsunade’s sake, so Dazou never told him the truth of the child’s lineage). That is why Tenzou has the Wood Release.  Not because Orochimaru’s experiments were successful, but because Tenzou had the ability (or latent ability) in the first place.  The experiments would have killed anyone else, but the Uzumaki longevity kept him alive.  The child who replaced him and is canonically known as Nawaki died because he was not an Uzumaki (like Tsunade is, by Mito).  It made canon Nawaki unable to withstand the same levels of trauma, which led to his death at a young age.  This gets uncovered after ROOT is brought to pieces, after the war, and Tsunade and Tenzou develop the sibling relationship they should have had from the start.  It’s about mutual healing, and while Tenzou isn’t a replacement for the boy Tsunade loved like a brother, he is a chance at having a family again.  He becomes Senju Yamato, and Tsunade is always teasing him to give her nieces and nephews.  Yamato blushes redder than a tomato every time, of course. “N-n-ne-nee-sama!  D-don’t say things like that!”  "Stop it with the ‘sama,’ otouto!  Call me neechan” “bu-but Hokage-i mean-nee-sama, I can’t!  You’re the hokage!” and then Tsunade gives the hat over to Kakashi because she just wants to live a peaceful life with her new brother and also so Yamato will stop having excuses to address her as her ‘sama,’ but it’s a constant struggle.
Unpopular opinion
I don’t know how unpopular this is, but it’s the one I’ve got;  Yamato being forced to follow Orochimaru around isn’t funny.  Let me say that again for those of you in the back;  
YAMATO BEING FORCED TO FOLLOW OROCHIMARU AROUND ISN’T FUNNY!
Look, I get it.  It’s a cartoon.  But the idea of having to trail the person who abused me by torturing me as a lab experiment so soon after I just finished being another madman’s lab experiment because of the shit the first guy did to me is so fucked up.  Can you imagine, having to face your abuser while recovering from another string of abuse?  I mean, he was a child, he was helpless.  Maybe becoming a ninja helped with that.  He got strong.  He can protect himself.  Never again will he be taken in by a psycho trying to use his DNA—OH WAIT HE FUCKING WAS!  He was hooked up to a crazy tree, had the life pretty much sucked out of him because of the fucking DNA Orochishitface put in him, was made to be helpless again, and now it’s cool for him to be spying on the single person responsible for everything bad that’s ever happened to him, and it’s supposed to be funny?  It’s cruel.  And yes, ok, he’s a fictional character.  I get it.  But you know what? It’s dumb storytelling.  You basically erased the character’s past for a gag.  There were a million other things Yamato could have been doing.  Have him working in the Hokage’s office protecting Kakashi.  Give him a Family and make him a Tree Dad (Shizune is single, there you go.  Let’s paste together a relationship for him.  He’s interacted with her more than Kiba has interacted with the chick they got to be his wife).  Fuck, maybe Yamato is too traumatised and so he opens an orphanage so that no children will have to go though what he did.  Maybe Yams goes on a journey to find himself, collecting street urchins as he goes.  Maybe he opens up a Flower Shop and is now Rivals with Ino because his flowers and plants are always better (she complains all the time over him ‘cheating’ and sends Sai out to sabotage him.  There are constant mini-wars between the Yamanakas and Tenzou.  He’s usually ahead, because any damage they cause to his store he can rebuild in a second, while they actually have to rebuild (or wait for Yamato to feel guilty enough to fix it for them—Sakura is always trying to convince him to leave it; anything to one up Ino).  Maybe Yams starts growing herbs and stuff for the hospital?  Maybe the story I mentioned in the last bit comes to pass.  I don’t know, but I just thought of those on the fly and they’re already better ideas than being forced into a “comedy” routine with fucking Oroshitfucker.
Favorite relationship
We don’t really get to see many of his relationships except with Kakashi, so that wins by default.  I do like that they both kind of saved each other—Kakashi saving Tenzou from ROOT was just as important as Tenzou saving Kakashi from himself.  Both of them were drowning, smothered by traumas and hurts and just shitty fucking lives, and then they rescued each other.  So it started off very balanced between the two of them, they were on even footing.  Of course, Tenzou—who had never really had a relationship up to that point—puts distance between them by giving Kakashi a position of power over him (even if it’s just by calling him senpai) and kind of ruins that.  You can’t really build a steady, healthy relationship when there’s an uneven power dynamic in place.  Kakashi is always trying to get Yamato to address him without the honourific, but poor Tenzou is just like but…but…you saved me senpai I love you *heart eyes* and Kakashi is just like why do I always attract the weird ones?  What’s kind of tragic, is that Tenzou’s gratefulness and admiration towards Kakashi is was makes him want to address Kakashi as his senpai, but it’s that show of adoration and respect that is keeping Kakashi at a distance.  In this way, Yamato is the obstacle keeping himself from what he wants.  Poor tree man :’(
Favorite headcanon
This is actually something @fineillsignup​ wrote (I’m pretty sure?  I hope so), but I love the idea of Yamato calling Kakashi ‘Hokage-senpai’ instead of ‘Hokage-sama.’  It’s cute and super Yamato and I love it.  It’s official, this is how Tenzou addresses Kakashi.  Fight me.
Here is the ask! Send in a character!  Up next is Gai, then Genma, Hidan, Adult!Obito, Rock Lee, and Ino!
Already done: Madara, Kakashi, Shino

[01:56] セン: hi i went to study baseball. [01:56] セン: um. [01:57] セン: drawing yozora with a baseball bat is a missed opportunity. [02:00] セン: okay so maybe its for aesthetic. [02:00] セン: so [02:00] セン: thats fine [02:00] セン: but [02:00] セン: hear me out [02:00] セン: i now have opinions on yozora/sena for baseball [02:06] セン: so in baseball, theres one designated catcher, apparently, who acts as the backbone and effectively works as the leader with the most important job out of everyone, because they're the only one that gets to see the entire field and give instructions to others
that's yozora because she's club leader, and effectively club can't happen without her orders, but also because she's the smartest, schemiest person in the club, so it makes sense for her to strategize for her team. it also comes with the heavy burden of responsibility and getting hurt a lot to try and catch the ball (see ch. orion for more info)
for maximum efficiency, the catcher has to work effectively with their pitcher. the pitcher can be swapped in, usually they swap every 5 people or so, because a pitcher's work is super demanding; this means that the catcher has to know each person well enough to maximize their throw-catch rate, which essentially falls to the leader anyway, aka its still yozora-best-fit there [02:11] セン: now the pitcher usually consists of 4/5 people on rotation, so it could be literally everyone else on the team who's eligible for play (rika, yukimura, sena, kodaka) but the reason why its super important for sena to be the pitcher and for yozora to be the catcher is because of personal catchers
Because of the close mental relationship and trust that a successful pitcher must have with his catcher, a number of catchers throughout history have become preferred by pitchers on their teams, to the point that the catcher will almost always (especially during the regular season) start along with the pitcher. The catcher is then informally referred to as that pitcher's personal catcher. Personal catchers are often used for pitchers that specialize in throwing knuckleballs, due to the difficulty of catching such an inconsistent and erratic pitch.
you can theoretically swap out any pitcher during the game, sure, but you can't swap out catchers if i understand it correctly. literally anyone else on the team could be a catcher but they wouldn't have the same synergy as a leader would after they've bonded with everyone unless they did the same thing
which, technically, none of them have except for kodaka, and he sucks ass at everything to begin with, so he's not even qualified physically to do it and placing bets on him to do it would weaken the team performance significantly [02:24] セン: its like trying to get aigis instead of minato to lead the team in p3; like yeah itll work but at what cost
anyway yozora's secondary is sena in terms of performance, but since she's lacking in the social awareness department it's very difficult for her to accurately guess what her pitcher's going to do, and i'm not even going to get started on rika/yukimura if that's the case
so finally, why is sena the perfect personal pitcher?
Personal catchers are often used for pitchers that specialize in throwing knuckleballs, due to the difficulty of catching such an inconsistent and erratic pitch.
a. she's definitely wanting to throw knuckleballs. since they're almost a sure-fire way of leading the opponent batter astray, this means that all she has to do to ensure an out for the opponent team is to get her own team's catcher to just. catch shit. b. her stamina, strength and recklessness probably already add onto the effectiveness of the top -- the winning strategy here is to be as chaotically powerful as possible, which she does (see ch. orion for more details) and because it's a solo play she's allowed to go ffa instead of holding back to help her team out
c. i point out the synergy between yozora and sena in the following - i. werewolf (hotsprings) - ii. basketball (orion) - iii. romancing saga 2 (drk/pld)
tldr they're super fucking gay, but also yozora is able to go through the impossible mental gymnastics to support/hinder sena and it shows. because of how good their game rapport is even especially without communication, their tactics on the field are going to be amazing with how crazy sena's pitches will get and how yozora will do almost anything to get herself to follow through and catch them
d. sena is probably going to be able to last the excrutiating work of pitching on the field for longer than anyone expects, which means more impossible hits for the opposing team, which means a higher chance of winning the game [02:28] セン: e. as long as sena isn't the catcher (i think), she can also bat against the other team, and we know she'll be good at batting because of how much physical prowess she has. itll be especially good because the batter is the only offensive one on the field at that point of time, with everyone else on the benches as the opponent team fills up the field with defense -- she'll basically have a trip exerting herself on solo-mode if she's made to bat (which is entirely possible) e.i. also she's probably super lucky so she'll get to make a lot more successful hits than expected e.ii. yozora would probably be terrible at batting, but not to say she doesn't try -- she'll probably be one of the better batters on the team overall, but normally catchers don't take the offensive, they stay on defense (haha like a tank)
[02:29] セン: most of the reason they'd make a good battery pair just lies in c but a and b are also really good points, d and e are just if im not wrong [02:30] セン: f. yozora literally bleeds for sena i cant stress this enough (orion) so like her being the catcher is totally fucking apt because they have to be super padded to play catcher otherwise they'll be injured like 90% of the time [02:30] セン: thank you for coming to my ted talk,
[02:41] セン: hi im gonna run over some tldr quotes from butterfly soup to hammer in the idea of yozora/sena is literally perfect especially when put into the baseball allegory
(Noelle pitching) "Noelle doesn't have enough upper body strength to throw it that far."
"With a knuckleballer pitching, the catcher has to focus so hard on stopping it that runners on base will have an easier time stealing." "So basically, it's hard to throw right, it's hard to control even when it's done right, and it's punishing if you miss." "Knuckleball is the pitch of someone with nothing left to lose."
- The ball ricochets off Liz's mitt and catches her bare hand, striking her thumb at a painful looking angle. - Liz's thumb has turned a swollen purple. "Are you okay?" "I'll live..."
"I chose it because... uh.... it's hard to catch." "So Diya has to be the one to catch it. Since it'll hurt everyone else." "Diya's immune to it because she's special."
"Is it really that surprising? Diya (catcher) has always been good at sports." "No, but you don't understand! This goes beyond being 'good at sports'!" [02:58] セン: "A lot of knuckleball pitchers end up having one catcher who specializes in catching that pitch just for them. They're called personal catchers. The two of them get traded together, as a set. It's like a weird baseball marriage." "I should learn how to throw a knuckleball, and you can catch it for me!" "Wait, but didn't they just say it's really hard to catch?" "So what? You're like a baseball goddess!"
(Min, as pitcher) "I don't need anyone. I'll do everything all by myself. I'll become so happy and successful that everyone who was ever bad to me have to beg on their hands and knees for me to forgive them."

August 22nd 2018: Nature Adventure
Yesterday I went home with W. On the drive there, we saw a bunch of crows on the green area in the middle of the interstate, and not far from there, there were birds circling overhead. A LOT of them. We weren’t sure exactly what type of bird they might be. On the way to the trail, we went through the very small town of Hotsprings, where everything closes at 5:00 p.m., promptly. In our short time there, I managed to find the only gay in the village. She complimented my dress, which in Gay Woman, translates to one of these three things: 1. I actually just like your dress. 2. I love your boobs and I think they look utterly fantastic today but I can’t say that because it would not be appropriate/respectful so I’m just going to say that I like your dress. 3. Not only do I like that dress, but that dress compliments your boobs wonderfully.
Considering the dress that I happened to be wearing, 2 or 3 seemed most likely. I was very amused and flattered. Funnily enough, she was actually wearing a wolf t-shirt that my ex would have worn.  As we drove into the driveway that leads to the river trail, a giant blue dragonfly flew in front of our car. Once we pulled in and got our stuff together and started walking, a black butterfly with blue tipped wings began flying in front of me, stopping when I stopped, then continued flying as if to lead me. This is a tradition at my river. When I come, there is always a butterfly there to act as the river’s official greeter. I think they are usually the exact same color as well. We continued walking, and then we saw a Great Blue Heron standing on a rock in the middle of the river. We looked at it until it flew away down the river a little ways. We continued walking. The same Heron (I think), kept showing up and then flying away several more times down the river. This heron had clearly become our new tour guide and guided us at least halfway down the trail before flying away for good.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I had a feeling I would be seeing that heron again. I also started wondering when I would happen upon a snake. I just had a feeling that a snake was imminent.  I stopped at a little shrine built under the leaves of a tree, right at under the base of its roots, and I prayed and paid my respects to the forest/river there.
W and I continued walking, jumping over puddles and small streams that trickled from the path down to the river below. While walking through one of these, W pointed out a small box turtle sitting in one of the muddy puddles that I had stepped over and hadn’t even seen. He was a small cutie. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We acquainted ourselves and then we set him over on the side of the trail closest to the river, as we assumed that was where he was headed and we didn’t want any other hikers to step on him.  A little further up the trail, we came across a cherry redish millipede that was dying and bleeding. I wanted very much to help it, but it was clear to me that it was a lost cause. I regret not killing it then and there to end it’s suffering, but I couldn’t find it in my heart to do so. A little further down the trail, we came across an identical millipede, perfectly alive and well. 
Tumblr media
Much the cutie.  Then a red Daddy Longlegs Spider walked across my path. I asked to be given a more prominent sign if that was meant for me. 
Then we came across this yellow caterpillar, and W felt the need to tell me not to pet it, as it was obviously poisonous coloring (which I knew). I looked closer and then understood why he felt the need to tell me not to pet it (It’s so cuttte!!).
Tumblr media
As we continued on our walk, we saw many cute sights, such as various flowers and mushrooms, and even a bumblebee enjoying a flower.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We continued up the trail until we got to a little fae grove covered in mushrooms near a few empty campsites and a perfect swimming hole across the trail from it. This is the spot we had been hiking to get to, so we climbed down some rocks to get to the swimming hole. 
Tumblr media
We saw this gorgeous tree on the way down.
Proceed to me swimming out to a waterfall and sitting on one of the rocks. After hanging out for a while, I changed rocks and hung out with W for a minute. Two mating blue dragonflies sat on the rock next to us before flying away. I spent the next few hours frolicking in the water and searching for the best possible rivers rocks like the happiest little river nymph you’ve ever seen, cackling in my joy. W sat in a hammock and played his Nintendo 3DS (weird, right???).  We decided to walk back after a bit. 
On our way back up the trail, we go by the spot where we last saw our turtle friend, and there he was again! He was nuzzled into the mud in the most adorably contented fashion. I booped his snoot (much to his dismay and annoyance) and continued on. 
A little ways further on the trail, I had ten or more red daddy longlegs spiders running across my path (Message loud and clear: YES WE ARE TALKING TO YOU!!!). As we’re getting closer and closer to the end of the trail, Will stops in his tracks and goes nonverbal. I look down, and right in front of his feet, is a copperhead snake, smack dab in the middle of the trail. Will and I both swerved to the side, away from the snake, and then looked the snake over in awe.  The snake had such beautiful markings, but moreover, had a lovely sense of peace, calm, and relaxation. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I made sure I complimented the snake and honored the snake properly, and then we continued on.  Right before we emerged from the trail completely, I looked out onto the water and saw exactly who I knew I would: The Great Blue Heron there to bid us farewell.  We walked to the car, and right before we got there, there was another creature that I knew would be there: A tiny translucent blue so light it was almost white, butterfly (similar to the previously pictured mushrooms) there to see us off. 
On the car ride home, not far from the river, we saw a beautiful doe walking through some foliage on the side of the road. She was so beautiful and cute!!!!  I stopped for gas in a small town in Kentucky on the way back, and when I got out of my car to pump gas, I immediately had 5-7 townspeople staring me down. I don’t know whether they were clocking me (IT’S A GAY????!!!!!) or if they could just sense that I was *Different Somehow* and it made them react. But for some reason, these people had a strangely strong reaction to my presence.  -All photos by W.

Note
Character meme! Maito Gai! Casue I mean... look at my icon. This should be no surprise.
You have chosen the very greatest picture of Gai as your icon.  I am honoured to write this tribute to a lovely man.
Tumblr media
First impression
Wuh… turtle… a man… on a turtle… a man on a turtle… in a green… a green… one piece… jumpsuit? with… orange… yellow… orange… puce… sienna… goldenrod—fuck it idk what colour that is it’s orange now—leg… legwarmers? are..eyebrows? what? but the other one? matching? what? i don’t… who thought this was a good idea?  Why… is that a sunset?  Why is he talking like this?  Is this funny? Is this dumb?  a turtle?  How is the turtle talking, and is it a tortoise or a turtle… idon’tlikehim—nowait—he’s the greatest
Impression now
Gai is amazing.  Hilarious.  I have mad respect for him.  He may have started off as a joke character but he is actually amazing, as a person, as a teacher, as a character, and I love him.
Favorite moment
After the Chuunin Prelims, the scene where Gai is talking to Lee about the probability of Lee surviving the procedure, and promises that if Lee dies, then Gai will die too.  It’s the first moment you see Gai being serious, and you learn the true measure of his devotion.  Gai might be loud and obnoxious and sunset genjutsus, but he’s also love and warmth and he would do anything for someone he cared about.  This was the first time we saw Gai—and Lee—as people and not gags.  And it was touching and sad and it really made me care about both of them.
Idea for a story
Fuck if I know.  Let met think…I hate to do this, but since Ume is known as the Queen of Angst I’m going to say I was inspired.  When Kakashi is in the midst of his ANBU depression and Gai petitions to be able to join, instead of saying ‘no,’ Sandaime says ‘yes.’  Now we’ve got ANBU Gai, being forced into completing these brutal missions or being charged with insubordination of the highest degree (the punishment of which, is death).  Not wanting to see Gai punished, Kakashi does the dirty work while Gai basically panics.  Seeing how much further into his shell this is pushing Kakashi, Gai bites the bullet and starts pulling his own weight.  The two spiral deeper into ANBU and the darkness that follows them, desperately grasping onto each other.  Gai finally begs Kakashi to leave one day, but Kakashi cannot, even seeing how affected Gai is.  So Gai sticks by his side, slowly killing off all the brightest parts of himself.  Until one day, Gai see’s a young boy with thick eyebrows trying his damnedest to be a ninja without chakra, and begs Sandaime to let him be the boy’s sensei.  Hiruzen finally smartens up, and ejects both Gai and Kakashi from ANBU.  They get their students, and they learn how to heal with their new purpose (Gai is better off at first, but he drags Kakashi behind him).  And then everything eventually works out because I was making myself sad.  As a payoff to having Gai in ANBU, let’s pretend that Kakashi and Gai were such a great team, they ended up finding Obito, they caught him, brought him to the village for rehabilitation.  No Uchiha Massacre, Madara is dead already and now has no one to bring him back to life, Zetsu walked into a patch of experimental weed killer and died (yes, all the Zetsu, it was a huge patch and they just kept walking into it for no reason. maybe there were some parasitic ants that took over their brains or something convenient like that), and everyone lives, everyone’s happy, hugs and kisses for everyone.  Boom.  Horrible ending.
Unpopular opinion
I honestly think Gai would be the greatest boyfriend.  As in: The. Greatest. Ever.  He would win awards for being an amazing boyfriend, and an amazing husband, and an amazing father.  Why?  Because he would give you his everything.  And not in a ‘Oh, I want to take advantage of the man,’ kind of way, but in the sense that, once Gai has decided you’re the one for him (even if you’re just the one for him right now) he is going to put soooo much effort into making sure you’d be happy.  He’d be bringing you little gifts every day, just because they reminded him of you.  They would probably all be different, things that he saw while doing his crazy training throughout the village, but they would all have some sort of deep personal meaning and you would probably love them.  Ok, there might be some trial and error in the beginning, but the man learns fast and never gives up.  If you didn’t like receiving physical gifts, he would gift you every day with something non-physical.  Maybe you like horrible poetry?  Gai will write you daily poems.  Maybe you like massages?  Gai will give you daily back massages, foot massages, wrist massages, full body massages (and i do mean full body massages) etc.  Maybe you just want someone to sit quietly with and cuddle for like an hour—Gai will stfu and cuddle with you.  Sure, he’ll be bursting with thoughts after, and he might get a little fidgety, but he will 100% do it, if it makes you happy.  So you better fucking treat him good or I’ll cut you.  Okay, Kakashi will cut you but still.  Don’t do that to Gai.  If you’re an introvert and you feel sometimes that his personality gets to be a little much, he will try to tone it down or give you space, but he’ll be back to 11 in a heartbeat if you change your mind.  He would remember every single important date.  If you wanted to go somewhere or do something, Gai would make it happen.  Whether that’s going skydiving off the mountains in Lightening, or looking for a mythical fish off the coast of Water, or going to the Land of Hotsprings for some R&R, or just going to the corner store to pick up your favourite take-out and that movie you were talking about.  Did you run out of sugar while baking?  Gai will bring you sooo much sugar in like two seconds flat.  Is he out of the village?  Doesn’t matter.  His summons are at your service (even if they’re a bit slower).  He would back you up no matter what (and even if you broke up, Gai would still have your back.  Gai is Ride or Die ok, he will be there for you as long as you’re not horrible and cheat on him or something.  Don’t be mean to Gai; he’s precious). If you’re having problems in your relationship, Gai will do his best to work them out with you.  Gai will go to therapy and work his ass off to make both of you happy. Gai obviously has his quirks and his own issues, and wheelchair bound Gai will probably take some time to bounce back into his normal vigour.  But honestly, out of his generation, he’d probably be the best boyfriend.  People don’t want to date Gai because LOUD and EYEBROWS and THAT HORRIBLE OUTFIT but a) he can be quiet if you need him to be, b) the eyebrows aren’t that bad get over it, and c) you bet your ass Gai looks amazing naked in civvies.  Don’t ask Gai to change for you (honestly, if you caught his attention, then I probably don’t have to tell you that) because that’s just mean.  But Gai will treat you right.  Date Gai.  You won’t find a better boyfriend.  And if you’re lucky and he proposes, marry Gai.  You might want to elope, though.  He will go a little overboard with the ceremony otherwise.  But hey, you’re dating Gai, you probably like overboard.  So go for the ceremony.  It will be the greatest wedding anyone has every attended.
Favorite relationship
If you’ve been on my blog for more than five minutes you know I love Kakashi.  But that is not my favourite relationship of Gai’s.  I love Gai’s relationship with his students, but specifically with Tenten.  Now I know what you’re thinking; sibi, why choose Tenten when there is Lee, Gai’s protege.  Well, it’s simple.  It’s easy to get along with someone who is like you.  Lee has always been a mini-Gai, and so it was not hard for them to bond.  Both have a relationship based on common interests and common goals, and it is a beautiful relationship.  Gai and Neji’s relationship falls in a similar vein; hard working student, eager to improve himself through hard work.  The problem here is that Gai isn’t much of a mentor—not by any fault of his own, but by virtue of Neji focusing on the Gentle Fist Style.  There were certainly exercises to build endurance and stamina and team bonds that Gai taught Neji, but Neji had a path already, and it was easy to guide him on it.  I love Gai’s relationship with Tenten because he had none of that.  All Gai had in common with Tenten was that they both work hard.  She had no real direction, she had no clan to teach her a specific style or put her on a path she could follow.  He could not identify with her as a girl, he didn’t really know how to treat her (because while Gai is a ball of sunshine he is awkward in his own way) but despite this, he didn’t give up.  He wanted to help her fulfil her goals.  Tenten’s dream was to be like Tsunade?  Gai was going to make that happen.  He tried to set her up with a medical ninja, since that’s what Tsunade was most famous for.  uh oh, Tenten didn’t have the chakra control.  Gai was not deterred.  Tsunade was known for her super strength…but that also required chakra control that Tenten didn’t have.  Gai was not deterred.  He tried to give her his summoning contract, but Tenten ended up insulting the tortoise and ruining that chance, as well as a chance for any animal summon (as the tortoises would surely gossip about the disrespect).  Gai was not deterred.  He taught her how to summon weapons.  He just kept trying.  Gai tried his best to equip Tenten with the skills she would need to fulfil her dream.  She did not end up proficient in the same way that Tsunade was.  But she found her own star.  She found something she loved, developed a fighting style all on her own, and became the greatest at what she did.  And Gai, who didn’t have the talents to teach her to be like Tsunade, didn’t go ‘oh well, I can’t help her,’ he said, ‘if this doesn’t work, then we’ll try that, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll try…’ until Tenten found herself.  He was an amazing mentor to all of his students, but this is most evident, in my opinion, with Tenten.
Favorite headcanon
I don’t remember where it started, but I like the idea that Gai is actually a genjutsu type, and whenever you see the sunset behind him, it’s actually him casting a low level genjutsu for theatrics. 
Here is the ask.  Send me a character (canon or oc) or even a pairing.  Up next is Genma, and then Hidan, Adult!Obito, Rock Lee, and Ino. (which I think I’m going to have to do later, it’s time for me to sleep).
Already completed: Madara, Kakashi, Shino, Tenzou
