the way it follows you home, the stories i never told
My guy Vox once again graced us with lovely Goyuu fanfics, and the way it follows you home, the stories i never told, made me go FERAL.
Time travel? Two Gojou Satorus? Double affection for our sunshine Yuuji? Yuuji sandwich? What feels like possible continuation of (you'll whisper, serpent tongue) what you fear you have become???
FUCK.
I need to stop indulging my imagination too much. I should’ve been content with writing long-ass comments but noooooo, my brain goes “you gotta draw it”. DAMMIT VOX, YOU AND YOUR DELICIOUS WRITINGS HHHHHH
So… usually I should’ve picked a favourite scene that is within my drawing capability, but I just… love all three chapters??? So I made a questionable time investment? I can’t stop??? Help???
This is probably the most ambitious fanart project I’ve ever done so far. Fair enough, considering I might combust if I keep these welled-up emotions inside from reading Vox’s Goyuu fics. Fuck.
Fic info:
Title: the way it follows you home, the stories i never told
Author: @voxofthevoid
Pairing: YuuGoGo. Future!Yuuji, Future!Gojou, Teen!Gojou
(idk why I laugh writing YuuGoGo. I’m beyond help)
Currently, it is 3 chapters out of 8. And it’s gonna be NSFW chapter 4 onwards, so don’t forget to read the tags first, folks!
The drawings are under Read More, because I have lots of thoughts surrounding each chapter and drawings. It’ll be hella long if I didn’t hide it here. It was a mess down there. A combination of hours before, during, and after I read said fic. I’d say good luck finding the art among the sea of jumbled words but… you’ll find them easily. Don’t worry about it haha
SPOILERS FOR ALL 3 CHAPTERS! I highly recommend reading those first before diving into these drawings!
Also for the comics, read from right to left please!
From here on, I will be referring to the Future!Gojou as Gojou and the teenage one as Satoru.
Overall, drawing all these is fun! Really fun! This project pushed me quite hard, forcing me to test my limit (because I rarely draw this much back to back). Since this is a combination of drawings and comics, the coloring style will not be consistent. In a way, I want to try some brushes I never get to use, as well as try out my new graphic tablet. Drawing these got me giggling because I was finally able to let loose during line art. It's much easier to do so, and sometimes I just get to reread the fic and giggle to myself for the nth time.
CHAPTER 1:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whooo. Whooooooooo—
Ok, ok, the premise is just that good. It intrigued me, fascinated me, and I just… oomph. I cannot refuse a Time Travel Yuuji Sandwich. Sign me up.
Honestly, there are two scenes that are just… a bit too clear in my mind when reading this chapter. That would be the one I drew above, and the other is when Yaga called Gojou to come outside of the class. I love, loooove how Vox wrote Satoru’s POV. And when Yuuji fucking giggles?
I lost it.
Can you imagine, drawing Yuuji grins, with shiny stuff, maybe some sunlight, just purely happy and indulging Gojou?
Help me, for I am drowning in my love and adoration for Yuuji.
Page 2 is an experiment on using harsh black as shading (kind of?). I really enjoyed colouring Yuuji, and drawing those buffalo skulls! I wish I can grasp the concept of contrast a bit better tho :v
CHAPTER 2:
This is probably the only chapter where I picture still images instead of comic panels. A bit like those cool chapter covers in mangas. The one I really, really want to draw is the scene with Satoru on the table. Can’t pass the opportunity to highlight Satoru being a brat, albeit a really cool brat.
Cool idea drawing always proves to be a challenge, because of course my artistic skill just so happens to be below the requirement. Thank you, Sketchfab, for the chair and desk’s perspective otherwise I’m screwed lmao
Tumblr media
The second scene that I want to draw the most is this:
Tumblr media
Gojou is one step away from climbing Yuuji. Also, I have a bit of a problem picturing a man pouting that makes him look crazy instead, so please have Gojou pouting adorably instead. Because, as Yuuji said (with love), Gojou is (also) a brat.
This is possibly my favorite art in this project, after Yuuji's in Chapter 1 page 2. It's clean because I don't have to draw background, and I was having a fun time drawing Yuuji. And Gojou's squishy cheek as well.
Oh, actually, there is a “manga” scene in this chapter. It’s when Yuuji said, “I love Satoru.”
I just—
AAAAAHHHHH YUUJIIIIIII YOU AND VOX ARE GONNA BE THE DEATH OF ME. That secure relationship between Yuuji and Gojou? Satoru’s description of how Yuuji’s smile could blot out the sun??? Not me screaming 💀 I also see bits of hints of possible co-dependency, though I could be reading those wrong, but either way I’m good. Secure and possessive relationships are fun to consume hhhhhh
But yeah. There are too many wholesome Yuuji smiles in this fic, and I… I am not confident enough to draw genuine happiness. It’s too much for me ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
For this chapter, another reason why I chose these two scenes is just because I want to try and draw cover-worthy pictures of Yuuji and Satoru, and Yuuji and Gojou (cough)
CHAPTER 3:
We start the chapter with Nanamin. Ah, Nanamin. I forgot what his teen self looked like and was surprised to see his design again lmao
I want to draw Yuuji and Nanami scene because… I just want to, I guess. I have never drawn him before (Yaga as well) so that's an interesting challenge. I got two ideas on how I want to draw it. One is a bit painting-esque, and the other one is like another chapter cover. In the end, I chose the cover one because I want to emphasise the difference between teen!Nanami and the Nanami from Yuuji’s original timeline, and how the watch feels like a connection between the same (yet not) person. It’s a bittersweet feeling? In a way?
I’m not really good at explaining my intention ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
Tumblr media
I love Yuuji’s answer to Nanami's question.
AND FINALLY.
A Yuuji SandwichTM scene.
And oh B O I do I love it. Have I told you I like every chapter? I probably have. But this one? Satoru’s curiosity, Yuuji’s on-brand self-deprecation, and Gojou come strolling down to show more of Yuuji to his mini-self. I want to draw this whole scene, from Gojou finding them, feeding Yuuji snacks, bitch-slapping Satoru into the backroom, to Yuuji growling. Them trying to hide a boner from Yuuji’s growl got me cackling so hard I LOVE IT 😭
I love it all. Please love Yuuji in my stead, Satoru and Satonyan :3
Oh! Also! 40-finger Yuuji sounds really, really cool! I’ll be happy with whatever Vox will give us in future chapters, but 40-finger Yuuji… possible scene with this timeline’s Sukuna… my god. The action! The drama! The bloodshed! One can only hope.
However, as much as I love that whole scene, it’s still too much for me :”) I’m still not yet confident in delivering the humour and action. Also my already-long drawing plan had my brain groaning in protest so I can’t push my luck :'D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Gojou said "He looks sweet, but he's a bit of a beast", I kept picturing Yuuji staring innocently, but there was an edge to his look. As if the moment Satoru looks away, he will pounce. But in the end I just stick with innocent-looking Yuuji because I accidentally drew his eyes that way and I want to keep it in lol
Since Satoru points out how soft and cuddly Yuuji is, I also want to draw soft Yuuji :v
And the last one… is the last scene. For some reason, I read that both Gojou and Satoru share Yuuji’s lap and was having a frustrating yet fun time figuring out how it’s… physically possible, without having their butts on the ground because they both are not small at all. As I lined the art, I reread it again and… perhaps I read it wrong? Satoru is beside Yuuji, and not on his lap? So yeah, this one might be the least accurate, but hey, at least you can view it as a crack drawing or something :v
Tumblr media
AAAANNNDDD I HAVE EXCEEDED TODAY’S BRAIN CAPACITY OF FORMING WORDS
Have I told you I love this fic?
…I probably have.
Have an amazing week (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*

It's 8:42 in the morning, I didn't sleep, I finished Phantom Liberty.
MAN. OH MAN.
I have so so so many emotions, I'm so... HHHH.
Big big big big big spoilers below the cut.
I only played through one of the expansion endings so far (siding with Songbird), and I played the new main game ending... and I'm such a fucking puddle of feels now hhhh.
What I can say is that... I still love the Sun ending a lot for Vince, and that won't ever change. But this new one now... I don't even know where to start MAAAnnn...
I started my 12 hour gaming session yesterday briefly before shit went down like... Feels like it was all in a different life (HAH). I really liked the whole prep-work for taking on Hansen, tracking down the rental car, the convo with Songbird about her past, and man, I said that before, the lil scene with Alex had me bawling. The little human moments of connection in the face of all the horrors Cyberpunk does so well that get me everytime. Vince getting up to dance with her was so fucking cute, and internally both me and him and Alex probably too knew that that would be the last moment of peace - and potentially (and he ended up being right) the last night they'd play on the same team.
Like... Even after the convo with Song, me, the player, was pretty sure I'd end up siding with Reed. He and Vince had a lot in common with their backgrounds, principles, etc etc. and Songbird seemed out of control, in a way, like Reed had said. But that whole sentiment he kept repeating ("she doesn't know what's best for her", "I gotta save her" etc etc) was beginning to creep into Vince's head and rubbing him the wrong way (having grown up with an over-bearing, controlling parent, the whole control-shit at Arasaka, etc etc) - subconsciously at first, but it got to a point where he could no longer rationalize it away.
AND THEN. FUCKING FUCK. The faceplate. I had been dreading that shit so fucking much, I knew it was coming but yeah... I think Vince would rather die than having that done on him out of his own free will. Like... the tech is insanely cool for a spy ngl. But Vince is not a spy. Not really. With his background and opinions of cyberware and everything... getting your face replaced is a step too far, a step he wouldn't wanna take, ever, unless like, he got his face melted off in a horrible accident or something like that. Not for a one-off mission, more or less, for people he didn't even fully trust. Both he and me were hoping that somehow there would be a way around it. Like you can talk your way out of taking the oath and so many other things. But no, this thing is forced on you (for plot reasons, obviously, and again, I fucking love the concept of it and the options it offers for gameplay. I'm really just speaking for my V's personal experience here XD)
That whole situation felt so fucking invasive to begin with, and I'm not even speaking about the cyberware. There was so much pressure, from Reed and the Ripper, zero explanation as to what exactly the Ripper was gonna do, just how invasive the procedure is (that it's not reversible just like that, for example). V was never shown the thing beforehand, never got an explanation what it's made of, how it works, how to maintain it. There way not a single friendly word, nocalming him down. Worst doctor expereience ever, and that's quite the achievement with Vince's trackrecord of dealing with horrible doctors in the past. The whole thing was traumatizing as hell for him, the whole experience, just being knocked out without much of a warning, then not even fully and HHHHHH.
And then he stumbles back out of there, desperately clinging onto the hope and trying to tell himself that it's all gonna be worth it, all the trauma, the pain, questioning his identity even more than he already does. But the show must go on. And so he goes on to kidnap the Frenchies, and for some reason he wants to believe these two nobodies will make it out of this mess alive somehow, against all odds. Yeah. No. But not just *that* they died, but *how* they died was the final straw. So fucking cold and brutal. Vince was shocked how Alex was suddenly so cold and brutal, although not quite as much as Reed. And then when Vince gets rightfully upset about the situation, how it was handled, how inhumane... Like, he had to kill a lot of people working for Arasaka, and as a merc, but he would always wanna make it quick, painless, if it was really necessary to kill someone to begin with. Unbekownst to the victim, bullet to the head, precise and quick. Especially if it was supposed to be an execution, not something that happens in combat. But these two kids were scared shitless, dragged out of the car and not executed but butchered, brutally. And when Vince gets upset, complains, is enraged about how unprofessional these two alleged spys are, Reed says "they were just some criminals, why would you care?" - you know, to the lowly criminal standing in front of him. That was the line that shattered the fragile trust V had left in Reed for good. Like... he didn't trust So Mi either, but she had just as many reasons to distrust Reed and the FIA and Myers as V, and he would've rather taken his chances with her instead after this final display of something he could absolutely not stand behind any longer.
Damn. I loved the whole sequence with Kurt, the convo, pretending to be Aymeric (from a player standpoint it was amazing, I also cackled later when I played Run this Town and got to use the disguise in a different context xD but honestly, Vince was hating every second of the meeting, also knowing he was just about to betray the people that hat brought him there.
Kurt's death was... maaan. Epic and a letdown at the same time. He would've deserved so much more screentime and a bigger part in all of it. I would've loved the option to side with him xD but then the DLC wouldve been even larger and even more complicated. Loved it as is though, still but yeah. Needs more Kurt!!!
Vince had no regrets about betraying Reed and putting his trust in Songbird until the very end... even when she ended up betraying him one final time with her revelation of the cure only working once. I fucking loved the confrontation with Reed on the bridge at the spaceport, I had been crossing my fingers so so hard for it to come to a showdown like that. I was so tempted for the dialogue choice of "take her, and I don't want anything for it in return". Cause like... despite everything, Vince had no desire to kill Reed. It wouldn't have changed a thing. Too many people had already died on his behalf anyway, and his hope for a cure was lost either way. So he ended up surrendering So Mi. I picked the option "deal", because I absolutely wanted to see the new main game ending, and I'm not sure if maybe with the "I dont want anything" choice you lock yourself out of it, but I will definitely test that out next time around.
The whole stuff that happened at the spaceport in general... I'm still trying to process it. And of fucking course Mr Blue-Eyes has his disgusting creepy fingers in all of it (or one of his associates) by helping So Mi, offering her this way out. I hate it (I love it). But that whole sequence of getting her to the spacecraft, I loved it so so much. Like all the boss fights and main missions, it was so nicely paced and structured, I had so much fun and I'm speaking as someone who is not good at fighting in video games.
So Mi's betrayal hurt, but letting her down in the end hurt even more. URGH. UUUURGH. But like... in that moment Vince was also like "okay... no cure. fine. But I'm not without leads, I'm just so done with all this spy crap. I should've never agreed to help her in the first place." If anything, he was sorry for things not turning out good for any of them really, but when do they do in NC.
He was glad to talk things out with Reed in the end to a degree, say his farewells. Still not getting his hopes up too high about him, still not really trusting him all that much. In a way still sympathizing, but at that point he'd be certain that he's done with the corporate world and anything like it for good. Revenge and hard feelings were pointless, Reed suffering from his decisions was punishment enough for Vince in that case.
I'm not sure if Vince would end up asking the FIA for help realistically. Like I said, I love the Sun ending for him a lot from a narrative standpoint. And Johnny's whole "please, don't do it", and him getting wiped as the price for it for good... that was at the same time not as bad as I had pictured it, but simultaneously it was awful. So yeah... I really don't know if, with all the choices present, the FIA would be number one. Realistically he'd wanna hear out Hanako first, and I think with how time-sensitive everything else is beyond that, the FIA is propbably off the table. Either way though... I wanted to see the ending.
I was bawling my eyes out during the AV ride, V and Johnny making up, talking a final time... and Johnny calling him Vincent in the end fucking destroyed me asödhjfasfasdf ;______; Doctor detected heightened emotions not just on V but on me as well that was so... HHHHHH. My feels ;__;
And then... the new main game ending. God. Like... ever since those new holocall icons of Kerry and Judy appearing a while ago, with Kerry's 2079 world tour promo... We had to get a timeskip. And I feared the cure would be tied to working for the FIA long term or some shit like that, something that would drive a wedge between V and his loved ones for good. The cure being tied to all sorts of horrible things I kept imagining...
And then the reality was so much more gentle and in a way so so fucking happy if that makes sense? Like... fuck, two years have passed. And fucking Reed and no one else in fucking Langley apparently considered even telling anyone back in NC about the complications of V's operation and all. Y'know, keep his loved ones in the loop after even telling him "tell your friends you'll be gone for a bit, a month tops". And that's the worst betrayal of the whole expansion for me cause like... it was so pointless. Did no one tell anyone cause they had no hope? Cause they wanted to sever V's ties on purpose? Was it Reed's decision, someone else's? Was it intended as punishment? Or was it downright laziness and uncaringness for V as a person, and he maybe just an interesting yet complicated experiment. That one really really hurt. And Vince could not blame Kerry or any of the others for being hurt by that and having moved on with their lives. He would've in their spot, for sure. And no, Reed, he absolutely fucking will not work for the FIA, fuck off. And then Vince fucked out of there as quickly as possible and never looked back.
The whole "your body can't tolerate implants anymore" thing... Did not really hit him that hard. Like... yeah. Netrunning, hacking, which he was always so fucking good at, is not gonna be a thing anymore in this timeline. And that he'll miss sorely. Feeling really really fucking capable about something he built a big part of his life around. That was a central part of his life for all his life, really.
But apart from that... he was always low on chrome. He wouldnt miss it nearly as much as other Vs I think. I think what he struggles with more is just recovering from the coma physically, how weak he is for sure for a while, the fact he probably will never be as fit as he used to be. But still... there's hope in that. Cause he gets to live. He never wanted to be a merc, he would make a damn good fixer for sure... but he'll find something else, something less dangerous. He won't be happy being just a nobody in the crowd, but he's also fallen from high places before and climbed back up, coming out on top every time, every time more himself, seizing new opportunities and making his way. He can make it out of that hole. Like, yeah, the timing sucks... But Kerry wants to see him again, and they can rekindle things. I'm sure they will. I'm so happy Kerry got to play at the Crystal Palace, he's so on top of his game, given how low he was when he and V first met. You know... he says he was hit hard by V's disappearance and potential death, but he's out there rocking the world. He's doing good, he didn't fall back into a spiral of depression and despair. And that makes me so happy. And Vince is gonna hold on to that thought of a future together not just not being off the table, but being so much more certain than before now.
Vince is upset about Panam being so upset, but he can understand her well. He wouldn't feel much different than her. He is sad about River not wanting to see him, but he hopes he can change his mind, somewhere down the line. He is so excited to meet Judy's wife, he is so happy she found peace and love. Hell, Vince would happily just be Kerry's useless trophy husband, if I'm being completely honest, and it's possible now. With no obligations in Night City left, no reputation to upkeep, they can do whatever they want. Rogue promises he wont be forgotten, he will be a legend of the Afterlife forever - one that actually gets to live a full life. Who can forget about all the horrors. He's gonna adapt and find his new thing and like, you know...
Tumblr media
This little scene, and the farewell scene with Misty hit me so hard cause... remember this?
Tumblr media
I actually... had something very very very similar planned for Vince in the long run that we get with PL now. I'm feeling extremely validated with my headcanons and ideas and concepts and just... Yeah. Not that that's absolutely necessary for fanfiction to be valid or anything, but I'm just... so happy.
I said it in a prev post, PL is the gift that gives on giving by granting me all my little wishes and confirming so many tiny random headcanons. But I didn't think it would also get me pretty much the ending I'd been working on already in the background, the one that he'd deserve. So yeah... idk. Cyberpunk can have happy (or at least bittersweet) endings, it does for me 100% now. V gets to live and survive, if you choose to, canonically.

Ok so imagine Saint and Osiris's first date ever. Osiris obviously asks first because he's overconfident as fuck and would totally make the first move.
Saint is flabbergasted and absolutely blushing however an Exo would blush. He accepts without hesitation.
Osiris nods and tells him good, they'll meet here tomorrow evening and go to his favorite restaurant together. The place serves the most wonderful and well made dishes in the entire Last City.
The next evening when the two meet up, Osiris reaches and grabs Saint's hand, causing the Exo to be super elated and giddy. Osiris guides him through alleyways and between buildings, through to a dingy district that's pretty run down, and up to a small, decrepit structure. Calling it a building would be... an insult to architecture everywhere. Osiris leads Saint past the bar guarding the entrance, and the place is... lights are dim and flickering rapidly, some are out, the wall paint is peeling, and there are two tables and a back counter where a VERY tired person stands. She looks up wearily.
"Ah. Osiris. Back for more cheese fries?" she asks.
"The biggest helping you can make!" Osiris replies proudly. "And Saint, what would you like? Hot dogs? Onion rings? Chicken wings? But don't go for the pizza, it tastes like cardboard."
With how this place looks, Saint is surprised the pizza isn't made with cardboard. Awkwardly, he politely orders some onion rings. He and Osiris sit down at a table together.
Minutes later, the tired worker comes out with two GINORMOUS takeout containers, one with cheese fries, and the other with onion rings. There is enough of each to last for at least a week of dinners.
Saint has no idea what to do with this many onion rings. He goes ahead and grabs just one, eating it.
However, Osiris shoves his entire right hand into his helping of fries, scoops out as much as he can, and bites into it directly, filling his mouth until both cheeks are puffed outward. With a mouthful of food, he asks, "So how are the onions?"
"........ Good......." Saint hesitantly replies.
Within the hour, Osiris has consumed his entire container, including scraping the cheese clean with his fingers and licking it off.
However... Saint has barely made a dent in his food, it seems, even though he swears he ate at least half the container.
Osiris sees this and shrugs. "Well! Leftovers for a while, right?" And with that, he helps shove the massive container of onion rings shut, and hands it to Saint. "Next time you can choose the place!! I'm excited to see if it'll match this food!!"
He's dead serious, Saint realizes. Osiris truly believes this is fantastic food in every sense.
Saint makes a personal note to find a place with cheese fries for their next date.
(Omg sorry this took me forever to write lol. But you can't tell me that Osiris eats healthy, wholesome meals at all. That man would find a hamburger in the garbage half eaten, and think to himself that no one's gonna eat the rest, so he will.)
HHHHHH oh my, at first when you described the place I thought that this was gonna be a Balto moment LMFAO this is hilarious
I would've gone with the chicken wings 👀LOL! I eat the same as osiris… just picker.…

Hhhhhh less than 12 hours after finishing the game but fuck it I'm vibrating at light speed over here,
Spoilers for Bendy and the Dark Revival with these hc, and also warning for the typical dark shit you'd find on my blog
Wilson has already made an Ink Being that reminds him of his mother, potentially wanting to give her his mother's face (and not succeeding so far, since Betty says she isn't quite perfect). So he has no qualms about using others and playing God for the purposes of his own wish fulfillment, even if his mission is supposedly for the benefit of everyone in the Ink Machine too.
So imagine Nathan Jr constantly lacking any affection or support from his father, being labeled creepy by his coworkers, and suddenly receiving a small bit of kindness from his own personal Angel. It could be something tiny to them; maybe they defend Wilson when some other coworkers are gossiping about him, and he overhears it. Maybe they genuinely compliment his art and don't just wait for an excuse to get away from him. But the instant he gets that bit of kindness, he latches on REAL fucking quick.
Look, he's creepy towards Audrey in an incidental way during the intro by calling her "pretty" and all that. If there's someone he's genuinely attracted to and wants for himself, he's going to be worse and even more overtly forward and even creepier about it. Leering at them all the time, snooping through their desk to learn more about them, complimenting them in very "if HR exists in this timeline you would definitely be reported for this shit" way.
All it takes is him pulling the same trick he did on Audrey by locking Darling in the studio and offering to help. I think he'd want to confess to them and make his move BEFORE putting them in the Ink Machine, since it's foolproof! If they reject him, he'll simply keep them/their Ink counterpart in the Machine. If they reciprocate, then the two of them can enjoy the bliss of bringing his plan to fruition in the world he's going to remake. Either way, they're coming with him.
The kind of creep to note how lovely their shampoo smells and audibly comment on it. He may even try to stroke their hair if he's feeling bold enough. He'll definitely be bold on the night he decides to take them into the Machine, and since he knows he'll get away with it by taking them in he indulges in everything he's wanted to do with them, TO them, in the studio before dragging them in.
Maybe the Ink Demon will even pick up on his fellow prisoner. They're not the same as him, no. Pathetically weak, being tortured in a very different way. But it's still torture at the same hands that are trying to extinguish him. I doubt he would try to help them without a self-serving purpose, like the revenge of turning Wilson's "prize" against him by freeing Darling (and letting them run amok in HIS domain, with Wilson never knowing if or when the Ink Demon will kill them just to spite him).
Or maybe the Ink Demon also finds some of that kindness while he's weakened. There's no pain that seems to come from letting Wilson's prize pat his head, pick him up to help him reach high places, hide him from the Keepers. It's all gentleness without any of the pain and betrayal he's used to feeling afterwards. He's starting to understand why Wilson would want to keep this little fountain of softness and warmth around. The best way to get revenge on his newest tormentor is to absorb Wilson's prize into himself, and prevent Wilson from ever getting to enjoy that warmth from them ever again.

🧸💤💝🫂 for rosi? :3
sorry for taking so long to reply! i will gladly dump some rosi headcanons into the interwebs
🧸 a headcanon about their childhood
i’m gonna take things back to mariejois because i’ve been obsessed thinking about their family before things got shitty. i think he struggled to hit those traditional “my child is learning successfully” milestones. he took a long time learning how to walk, speak, write, probably failed any tests. his parents never cared tho, and always encouraged him and accommodated for him regardless of what the noble tutors/instructors demanded. however, he was very bright. he beat doflamingo at chess all the time and started to throw the game when his tantrums got too scary.
💤 a headcanon about their sleep
before going undercover, he hardly slept more than a few hours at a time. often stayed up doing research on undercover agent procedures, piracy, so forth. after going undercover, he slept in late, and took frequent naps. good way to avoid dealing with the donquixote family. (that devil fruit helps a lot, too)
💝 a headcanon about their love language
hhhhhh i’m so bad at these. maybe words of affirmation? he seems utterly elated when law finally calls him “cora/cora-san”. i think this could actually work against him too, and could be a reason he stayed undercover for four years without either turning in doflamingo, killing him, or going insane (although he does kinda go insane and kidnap a child but before that.) i think doflamingo was deceptively kind to him. he wanted him to eat the op-op fruit after all, he really needed rosinante to trust and love him for that level of sacrifice. so i’m sure over the four years of hell, doflamingo showered him in praise and care, which spurred comforting and conflicting thoughts of redemption and kept rosinante hanging on by a thread. (heh, get it?)
🫂 a friendship headcanon
exceptionally friendly, but won’t go out of his way to go meet new people or start a conversation. he’s like a conversation chameleon. can adapt to someone’s seriousness/goofiness at the drop of a hat. probably had a lot of friends in the navy, but few if any close friends. i don’t think he’d allow himself to get that close to others because a) maybe he assumes he’s going off undercover soon and might never see them again, or b) he struggles to feel as though he deserves friends. he’s the brother of doflamingo, after all. that man is a monster, and an embarrassment. and he’s his closest blood relative. if anyone learned of that connection, they’d just associate the two, and that’d make him feel even less human than he already does.
thank you for releasing the clown hounds within me. unsurprisingly, some of these responses were kinda long. sorry <3 🤡♥️

If you're taking prompts, how do you feel about sephzack and their hair routines? They both have got to have their own routines right?
Hhhhhh cute boys! Thanks for being so patient. Let's do this!
"It's all in the gel. Adds to the look, you know?" The black-haired soldier smoothed the cream against dark, drooping quills, blissfully unaware that they were flaring up in the opposite direction. "Gotta keep them out of my face. Especially the eyes. But I guess you don't need me to tell you that."
Sephiroth frowned at the younger soldier, quietly regarding himself in the mirror, his cold green gaze reacting to the harsh bathroom lights. He moved his bangs out of his eyes and grunted, regal and silver. "Hmph. I can fully assure you that my efforts do not concern themselves with..." He glanced at the bottle and frowned. "... whatever that is."
"Yeah? Then what? Wait, does it involve a whole bottle of--"
"I told you before," the older soldier growled. "That is a rumor. Nothing more."
"Noooot convincing me, buddy. You smell like a walking rose garden." Zack paused and blushed. "Eheh...that uh...sounded a lot more romantic than I wanted it to."
Sephiroth snorted, raising a brow before turning away. "I see no flaw in wanting to look my best."
"So what's your secret then?" Zack loomed over his shoulder, daring to tug at his arm. "Spill! Details! C'moooon!"
"Hmph."
"Seriously, you're gonna prance around looking all immaculate all the time and you're not even going to tell me how you do it? How am I supposed to meet beautiful babes? I thought we were friends here! Seriously!"
Sephiroth smirked, somewhat smug, raising his chin and strolling casually forward.
"SERIOUSLY!" Zack yowled, scurrying after him. "After all we been through together!"
"Oh, I don't think you're ready."
"You bet Shiva's ass I'm ready! I was born ready! I am PRESIDENT of the United Ready Federation! Come on, Seph!"
Sighing, Sephiroth leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, shaking his head. "If you insist..." He shut his eyes, his dark lashes painting delicate black curves beneath his lids. ".....................Honestly, I just bathe regularly."
"Wh..."
"That's it. Two hours of brushing afterwards most of the time."
"You're telling me it just LOOKS like this on its own?"
Sephiroth shrugged, looking apologetic. "It grows back very quickly, too. Always has."
"No special shampoo?"
"Not beyond what you and the others are using."
"ARE YOU FOR REAL?"
Sephiroth tilted his head and frowned, his expression momentarily souring. "I am. I would suggest that you and the others remember to take advantage of the company showers regularly. I see far less recruits in there than I should. Unless you wish for the enemy to scent you miles away during a raid?"
But Zack only shook his head, his face in his hands. "Seph, you're going to be the death of me here."
"Hmph." The great warrior tossed his long silver bangs, vast and silken and gleaming.
And completely unattainable.

*slides into your ask box* Sooooooo rainy something fun for your consideration.... 👀
Seto and I went out of our way to include traditions from both of our cultures in our wedding. One of the smaller ones from my side of the family (Welsh) was the myrtle in the bridal bouquet.
Traditionally, the bridal bouquet can be any combination of flowers, but should always include myrtle. And after the ceremony, that myrtle is carefully removed from the bouquet and distributed to the bridesmaids (and since I only had two actual maids, Honda and Ryou got included in this despite being men lol).
Each member of the bride's wedding party then plants the cutting of myrtle. If any of them take root, it's an auspicious sign for the party member's own romantic relationships... and the first person to have theirs do that is supposedly the next one to get married, sort of like an alternative version of a bouquet toss but just for the bride's party!
Sooooooo not that he's told me anything, buuuut guess whose once-little sprig of myrtle I saw growing into a thriving little houseplant in a nice big pot when I was at his house yesterday? 👀
—@dark-magical-ships 💙
…hhhhhh i’m sobbing into my hands AMATA… DUDE….
i stopped functioning for like a whole hour upon reading this the first time ANYWAY
first off I absolutely love learning little tidbits about different cultures and traditions from them like this; it’s very intriguing getting to compare them to each other and seeing how things differ and where they are similar. I actually think this is a super interesting way of doing a “bouquet toss” and is a much more engaging way of going about it :0
and secondly… aagshddnckd SOBS just the implications behind Ryou even participating in planting the myrtle in the first place is driving me INSANE i’m literally giggling just typing this >_< this is just me drawing conclusions, and it could always just be something as simple as him wanting to respect traditions, but… if he’s planted it and he’s actually put in the effort to take care of it to the point that the myrtle sprouted and grew… does that mean he’s actually thought about marriage? that maybe he’d even be open to it? to… marrying me??
Just… I don’t know what I could’ve ever done to be his girlfriend, what I could have possibly done to be this lucky, but to have Ryou even think about marrying me, or think about spending the rest of his life with me… this boy is going to be the literal death of me, I swear >////<
on a less sappy note… picturing ryou taking care of a houseplant is actually a very nice image <3

hhhhhh I really wanna write, esp to work on my languishing multichaps, but work has been absolutely HORRIFIC
two people left, which means the rest of us had to scramble to pick up their sites and when we got site reassignments, I lost two sites that I really enjoyed and got two that I absolutely despise
(one of the sites would actually be kinda enjoyable if it weren't FOUR HOURS AWAY)
(the other site is actually two sites in the same city and the city is like the worst one in our network it's so fucking sketchy and smelly and one time someone pooped at the site so yeah I ain't thrilled about it)
(that four hours away site btw I'm only supposed to go to every other week but this month I've had to go every week to deal with Stuff and today I made my work schedule for next month and I get to go there every week AGAIN next month)
so yeah I've been way too beat to do much more than work on little snippets here and there. I've even been too beat some days to come up with fun little posts about my AUs :/
just as an update if people were wondering why I've been kinda quiet lately

arthur vs eddie anon here. i am happy you like my thoughts hihi
though the eddie thoughts i mostly have from another eddie blog who has great meta for chrissie as well but i added the arthur thoughts and my own though i dont feel comfortable taking credit for the eddie side, so i wouldnt go so far and call myself galaxy brain. maybe a sun system brain haha
though here more thoughts, this time all my own: go back one generation and look at penny vs wayne. both having it hard raising an abused/traumatised kid alone while being poor, working shifts - but we see arthur gives up everything of space, his bed, all for penny. but wayne gives up the only room and the only real bed for eddie and sleeps on a fold out bed in the living-room. eddie has space to grow and find himself, his own person. arthur was suffocated from the start.
and even when the killings happen we see the contrast: arthur killed the three men and penny doesnt know hes the killer but immediately judges the killer and thus arthur. when chrissy is found dead in the munson trailer and everything points at eddie being the killer wayne knows right away eddie is innocent. -> penny doesnt know arthur enough to tell he did it while nothing points at him. wayne knows eddie so well he immediately knows eddie is not the killer even though everything points that he is.
regarding what you said about choices: penny was the one never giving arthur the choice while wayne was the one enabling eddies choices
and one other thing for the big differences. arthus is a wolf in a sheeps coat and eddie is the sheep in a wolfs coat. i found that metaphor fitting for eddie because he keeps talking about lost little sheep
thank u for listening to my little ramblings <3
I adore your thoughts!!! I was worried I'd disappointed you with my lacklustre responses but holy shit I'm just... almost excited?? No, I am excited to be discussing these characters and their differences with you! I'd always thought they had a lot of similarities and differences but I hadn't taken the time to sit down and think about it and hhhhhh this is some good food!!!😍💗
A sun system brain for SURE! There's so much good meta out there about Eddie (and all the other ST characters of course, but he gets a special mention since he's the topic of conversation) and over the years I've read some amazing Arthur takes, too!
YES YES YES omgggg ~ I agree so hard!!! Arthur gave Penny everything and for what??? He's a natural caretaker but I have to wonder how much of that is his caring nature as part of his personality, and how much of it was because he was groomed from a young age to be the man of the house (the whole pseudo-husband thing still turns my stomach🤢). Penny kept Arthur stuck in that apartment; he's a high school dropout from fifteen (I think that's tenth grade? I'm not familiar with the US education system) and clearly had to work any job he could get to support the two of them. I also wonder how dependent she actually had to be on him because he's gone long hours, working 59 - 60 hour weeks and so Penny would have been left all on her for all that time but she's usually comfy and cosy when he comes home so she must be able to do things herself. She's a victim too and what happened to her in relation to Wayne and then further on in her arc is all heart-breaking, but I wonder about the reality of it a lot. Arthur was suffocated by the woman who was meant to take good care of him and raise him (not to mention how she ended up being allowed to keep Arthur by the social work side of things given how the paperwork shows she was lobotomised and needed medications etc. etc. is sketchy as fuck too).
Whereas Wayne did everything the right way - he chose to take Eddie in, he gave him space and clearly encouraged heavily everything Eddie wanted; I have no doubt that he pulled extra shifts to make sure Eddie could afford patches, materials for his clothes and posters and the Corroded Coffin flag, to make sure Eddie could eat, and I would put real money on Wayne being the one who bought Eddie the van, too! Wayne gave everything up for his boy, his boy, and was a real parent to Eddie. Eddie flourished and thrived under Wayne's care, and indeed was protected by him a great deal. Their dynamic is one of my favourites and I write about it quite often over on my Eddie blog.
Wayne knew Eddie; trusted his boy, knew him better than anyone else in Hawkins (except Hellfire, but Hellfire didn't live with Eddie and Wayne did, so Wayne saw more of Eddie than anyone else), and defended Eddie time and again from the entire fucking town. Penny either wouldn't or couldn't defend Arthur; it's implied she's at least complicit in the abuse he suffered at the hands of her boyfriend at the time when Arthur was a child, whereas Wayne was probably the one who took Eddie in to protect him from the parental abuse he suffered (this was confirmed by Joel, the actor who played Wayne, in a recent interview which I can send you the GIFsets to if you're interested) and did everything he could to give Eddie a better life even though he was also struggling in Hawkins.
The contrast is just... heartbreaking, honestly. Can you imagine if Arthur had been taken in by someone like Wayne?😭
YOU'RE SO SO RIGHT ON THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING THING OMLLLL😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you thank you thank you thank you for sharing your thoughts with me oml I am having so much fun talking about two of my three loves!!! These two characters are so interesting and multi-layered and I'm thriving hhhhhh💗💗💗💗 also peep at your tag so you can find again if you want to!

wait is conjugal visit not just when you like talk to them through that phone thing and there's a plastic screen ?
I thinks that’s just like. A normal visit.
:( a conjugal visit is where the person in jail and their spouse have sex. And it has to be like, approved by the officers and they decide on how much time you’re allowed to have and please google it if you want more information

There appears to be a sad cuddle bug going around! Can we get some hcs similar to the Seph comfort ones for Angeal and Genesis? Your hcs abt Angeal and Gen’s mental qualms makes me wanna hug em and just comfort them 🥺
Awwww babies 😭
Angeal is the most logical and put together of the trio so he's the best at regulating his emotions.
But whenever he's down, he likes cuddling and scrunching up in bed. You get to rub his chest and remind him that he's doing a great job and that he'll always have value. He doesn't like big extravagant comfort gifts because of his frugal upbringing. But he might be touched if you make him a nice dinner or show him something productive you did or made thanks to him. Angeal is usually the quickest to cheer up, and will do his best to live each day at a time. And he'll do it with the ones he loves. Angeal probably has the strongest strength of character out of the three when it comes to withstanding stressors which makes his instability and subsequent death in CC all the more shocking and heartbreaking. But in this, he's okay. You're here. And he's done a good job. And that's what matters. ❤️
Genesis is a different story. He has two modes whenever he's in need of comfort--OVERLY DRAMATIC THEATRICS THAT DEMAND YOUR ATTENTION or him not pretending and being genuinely depressed and numb. For the former, it's cute to indulge him and let him whine and complain while you fuss over him. He loves being doted on, maybe while you feed him grapes or pretend to indulge his Loveless recitals during a cuddle. He likes pampering and will happily submit to whatever you have in mind, and often completely forgets he's upset because he feels just so darn pleased and smug at all the attention. Flattery is the key. Gen is the prettiest, strongest, most dashing hero in all of Shinra! The greatest! The best! Etc. He eats that up.
If it's the latter and he's genuinely depressed, Genesis really doesn't actually move or say or do much besides lay there bundled in the sheets. He and Seph can be similar in that they often have periods where they both just isolate themselves when upset. But while Sephiroth is prone to traumatic episodes or hidden anxiety attacks, Genesis just...doesn't move. At all. He just lays there listlessly for hours or even days. When he's like this, it's best to just give him lots of pets and make sure he's taking in some food and water. Stay close to him and speak very gently. Genesis doesn't often have depression phases like this. But when he does, they're very serious. He has them a lot after Crisis Core, sleeping for hours and hours, trying to block out his guilt and regret. And it takes a really heavy toll on him. It's just best to keep him bundled and quiet, let him ride it out. Put some soft music on in the background for soothing ambiance. Let him look out the window to see how nice it is out. That stuff.
Sad soft babies hhhhhh 😭😭😭
