OOO I wanna play for the fandom ask game!!

N, I, K, U ☺️🥰💕💌

LMAOOO ERIKA....

N - Name 3 things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom or fandom of choice.

Slow burn long fic. And when I say long fic i mean more than 50k. I kind of feel like I might have to be the change I want to see in the world but man... People who write long fic like really long fic are truly admirable. I mean, if I scour ao3 I think I'll probably find some... that also requires scouring ao3.

I'm actually not sure what else? I think I'm pretty satisfied otherwise LMAO. Fanmerch maybe... But then again, maybe that's a good thing for my wallet. I buy a lot of official merch anyway.

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so which and why?

Lin asked me the other day when I mentioned it, but in a sense I kind of got away from Mystic Messenger in part thanks to tumblr. To repeat my previous answer then, I felt pretty discouraged when I got rejected from zines and I thought I was at least a fairly decent writer. I didn't say it then, but in some ways I kind of felt like an outsider? Truthfully, at the time I mostly wrote and never really read and I think my hermit status then contributed to that.

I also don't like Stranger Things and have it filtered. After seeing 5000 of the same gif of that one guy's face. I'd had enough LMAO. I recently filtered something else but I shan't say. >_>;

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Katsuki Bakugou. I was distraught when it seemed like Hori was gonna kill him off because like... To bring that character so far just to kill him? Terrible absolutely terrible. (On the other side of that to also basically immediately resuscitate him? What was the point of killing him right there in the first place?) There have been recent manga developments that have caused me to feel the same way so I haven't actually read the manga since then OOPS.

U - Three favorite characters from three favorite fandoms and why.

I'm assuming this means one each, right?

Drakenier series - YorHa No. 9 Type S (9S)

Nines is really precious. Really sweet. How energetic he is! Enthusiastic he is! He's a good foil to 2B who is so stoic. I can't talk about him too much without getting into spoiler territory and someone who follows me is playing so I don't want to do that, but what I will say is 9S is a little unwell and I like that.

IDOLiSH7 - Nikaido Yamato

It's his glasses. I like a man in glasses okay!! Okay, so like Yamato is the type who would tease me and I'm a freak because I'm into that!! It's so funny because I'm a Yamato oshi, but like I think that objectively Mitsuki and Gaku and Ryuu are better men LMAO. More worthy of fawning over, but I still like Yamato because of that mean streak. Okay, next.

Jujutsu Kaisen - Satoru Gojo

There has never been a character that I've known was going to fuck me over the way I knew Gojo was going to get me. I've said this before, but it was a very conscious choice to not get into JJK for as long as I did because I knew. And even if he was the worst character ever I'd find some reason to like him. Actually you know what? Why is he even on this list? I hate him. He's so hard to write because it feels like there's too many things going on in his head and it's all layered and it feels like he's the master of being two things at the same goddamn time. Concerned but amused? Cool but a pathetic loser? I hate him so goddamn much.

#ask games #erika tag #did i really go over why i like those guys? #probably not

[bakugoukatsuki-rising]

I've seen bkdk called a lot of things - soulmates, rivals, wonder duo, twin star... They're obviously connected very deeply and honestly will prob be next to each other the rest of their lives. I was hoping you could give some examples (as many as you'd like) on how they're similar, different, and how they complete each other/balance each other out. Example, bakugou does x where izu would do y. Baku sees x as y while izu sees x as z. Idk, I just like talking about them being 2 sides of 1 coin.

Alright anon so this ask made me have to recruit friends to get manga caps for you, and I still won't be able to fit them all in here thanks to tumblrs pic limit. I'll do my best to give you what you're asking for.

In terms of being the same, there is quite a few. I think many people tend to see Bakugou and Deku as like...polar opposites, and it's not really true. They're much more similar than people give them credit for.

Look at this I already used 3 image spaces lmao.

Look at their facial expressions. Identical. They're fucking twins. It's honestly the cutest thing I've ever seen, and then, THEN WE HAVE THEIR FUCKING TELEPATHY. If they weren't on same wavelength, there is no way they would be able to do this. Now, obviously this scene is meant more to be them whispering to each other but then there is THIS

Same brain. Same panic response. I just...sometimes they're too similar and it's fucking hilarious. I love them so much. And obviously Hori made it a point to have them BOTH included in these scenes. He could have just had Deku, since he was more aware of Todoroki's situation, but he included Bakugou because they share the same brain.

Then we have Deku, and some little things about his views relating to Kacchan.

It's Kacchan first. Always.

If Bakugou is involved, he comes first in Deku's head. KACCHAN.....and everyone else!! I know there are people out there that want to dismiss this as shippers being wishful in their thinking but I mean...just look at the panels above. That seems pretty obvious to me. We even have one in the newer chapter when Deku is in the Dreamscape. His first thought is immediately Kacchan! And the rest!

Also, we get that last panel where, without skipping a beat, Deku completely agrees that Bakugou would have mastered OfA by now if he had it. He is OPENLY FAWNING OVER THAT IDEA. It's unbelievably cute how much he admires Bakugou's strength.

This is what trips me up about people who think Deku hates Bakugou because uh...hello!!?!?!? Do you see this? Do you see how his mind is completely and totally filled with Kacchan almost constantly????? It isn't a shipping lense and it isn't wishful thinking, it's 100% completely canon and if people read with their eyes open, they would see that.

Now for Bakugou, and I'll have to finish with this because I only have two image slots left. After that it'll be me talking a bunch because I have so many feelings about these two assholes.

So of course I had to include the infamous "Keep your eyes on me, Deku!" because no post about their relationship would be complete without it.

Just as Deku's eyes have only been on Bakugou, the same is said for the other. The intensity of that line alone is so telling to me when it comes to Bakugou, and how he views Deku. He wants Deku to watch him, he wants him to see the progress he's made and he wants it to fuel Deku's own drive to do better and get stronger. Shortly after this we have their confrontation where Bakugou points out he's moving faster than Deku can catch up, and Deku's immediate response is,

"No, I'll surpass you!" And his eyes are shining so fucking bright I think I'll go blind every time I read it. That kind of power to influence someone else is unbelievable. And while they both influence everyone in 1A, the influence they have on each other in undoubtedly stronger than for anyone else.

Then we come to that last panel, which ultimately leads us to Bakugou's big sacrifice in 285.

Deku wasn't necessarily near Bakugou when notice of Shigaraki hunting for OfA came through the radio, but Bakugou was obviously watching, because the moment he saw Deku turn to go off on his own, he was by his side. Now, Bakugou attempts to push off his joining Deku as just wanting to get revenge on Shigaraki himself, but 284 and 285 completely disprove that.

Bakugou followed Deku. Bakugou went after Deku because he knew better than anyone what Deku would end up doing, which was attempting to sacrifice himself for the people he was trying to save. Bakugou understood that before and better than anyone else ever could, so he chased after him to fight with him and protect him.

Then we get 285, where we see Bakugou jump in to save Deku, this kid who he swore he hated his entire life. But why would he let Deku continue to call him Kacchan if he hated him so much?(a name I might add, that is actually a form of endearment by Japanese language standards) Why would he continue to butt heads with Deku and force his way into Deku's line of sight time and time again if he hated him? Why would he stubbornly insist on needing to surpass someone he always saw as less than if he still felt that way?

Their relationship is so complex on so many levels and I could go on for hours about different things I've noticed and continue to notice, but I don't wanna drag on too long.

Just know that these panels aren't even a quarter of the extent their relationship goes, and I wish I could have stretched this on and on with panel after panel of their canon dynamic and how obvious it is that they care, inspire, encourage, and fuel the other.

This relationship is one for the books, and I hope more people come to appreciate it.

[touyasdoll]

NO OK I SAW YOUR TAGS AND WANNA TALK ABOUT HAWKS AND ENDEAVOR AND HAWKS’ REACTION TO FINDING OUT ABOUT ENDEAVOR’S PAST:

This isn’t a like discourse “you’re wrong >:(“ thing and 100% Horikoshi should’ve written it better so we could see Hawks’ thought process better but, at least personally, I don’t think Hawks’ attitude is so much “eh, it’s fine” as it is “it’s not fine but he is trying to do better” and it’s the same attitude hawks had with Twice. Like it’s just another example of Hawks’ fundamental belief that all people are capable of change if they want to. So it’s not so much that he’s giving Endeavor a free pass as it is that he sees the way Endeavor’s family are reacting to him and him changing and believes that if Endeavor serves his penance with his family and genuinely changes than he deserves that opportunity to change. Just like Twice deserved an opportunity to reform himself after serving his time and just like I would love to see him offer Touya that chance (although I doubt hori will give us that and also doubt that he’d write it well even if he did) And I also don’t think he’s truly idolized Endeavor for a long time. He even questions the guy’s intelligence re: leaving him the coded message. Endeavor was an important part of his journey but I don’t think Hawks puts him on a pedestal or anything and unfortunately the state of things means there isn’t really time for nuanced discussion of what to do about Endeavor’s past crimes.

Anyway sorry for the long ask!!! My point is just that Hawks isn’t ok with what Endeavor did, he just believes heavily in second chances. Perhaps naively, perhaps not, and unfortunately Hori decided to have Hawks find out this information in the middle of an arc that leaves no room for processing that and truly dealing with it without negative consequences for the general good. Like they can’t toss Endeavor in Tartarus or punish him rn bc the country is in shambles, there’s no time to investigate the extent of Dabi’s claims (which hawks knows are heavily biased/potentially not 100% true considering the portrayal Dabi made of his killing of Twice) and then react accordingly. Sorry again for the long ask 😅 I just have a lot of Hawks thoughts unsurprisingly

All very valid points! And yeah, no discourse here at all, but I really enjoy discussion like this! I truly do think that Hawks’ character and development has suffered recently, but that’s just an opinion I have about the writing. I think Hori does some masterful things in his storytelling, but it’s disappointing it’s really other things become seemingly forgotten about or diminished either or out carelessness or lack of time or whatever.

I, obviously, have a lot of bias towards this situation lmao. I love Keigo, but Touya’s my absolute fav. On top of that, Endeavor greatly reminds me of someone who I know & detest personally, so a fair bit of this is probably also me projecting, but.

I feel like Endeavor’s redemption arc is weak, as it stands. Yes, he’s showing remorse and he’s apologized and he wants to redeem himself, regardless or whether or not he’s forgiven by his family. The world is in shambles, but there’s been no mention of him having to face any legal or professional repercussions for his actions. People can change and it’s great that Hawks is so willing to give people second chances. Humans make mistakes and we are able to learn from them and better ourselves if we choose too. I agree with your point that maybe he doesn’t condone his actions, but rather is just hopeful that Endeavor is truly changing and he deserves that chance.

However, I have a feeling that Endeavor isn’t going to face any repercussions beyond being publicly humiliated and feeling his family’s disappointment in him. He committed crimes and spent a solid majority of his life trying to become the number one hero without displaying a single heroic quality beyond raw strength. Should he be allowed to redeem himself? Sure, but he can do that in prison and they should strip him of any accolades/titles/recognition that he’s earned. You don’t get to abuse your family and get to call yourself the number one hero. It’s not heroic, nor admirable, or even acceptable under any circumstance and with the way that society as a whole in that universe reveres heroes, he should not be allowed to call himself one any longer. I just think the whole thing will feel very hollow and very corrupt if no one actually holds him accountable when things are said and done.

Okay, sorry I ranted about Endeavor so much lmao. I can’t help it. Anyway, back to Hawks. I do think it’s admirable that he wants to do his best and think the best of others. It’s a very valid point that you make about him being leery of trusting Dabi after what he did, but also I just wish so, so desperately (and selfishly) that they could connect on some level, due to their childhood experiences. I also wish that Hori would take this opportunity to show us that maybe the whole Shouto/Endeavor thing has truly changed Hawks’ feelings about his own parent. His dad certainly isn’t worthy of reconciliation, but I think there’s a chance for he and his mom to reconnect. That situation is obviously more personal to him, but if he’s willing to overlook the actions of a former abuser, I would hope he’s willing to have a conversation with his mother, a former enabler.

There’s just so, so many things I want to see happen and I have very little hope of any of it actually occurring lol.

[makeste]

Started reading your post angry at the person who spoiled you, finished it by feeling completely tired. Haven't been having good days so I was really looking forward to this one, but lol this whole week's got everyone in a funk with the discourse and how the chapter played out. Here's to hoping Nagant lives, Overhaul redeems himself, Deku decides he had enough fun for this solo arc and goes back to his friends at U.A because surely Hori isn't gonna have him hunt down AFO like this alone.

I really hope my post wasn't too much of a downer, anon; it wasn't meant to be, honestly. sorry if it put you in a funk. :( I was absurdly tired during my initial readthrough of the chapter for reasons which had nothing to do with the chapter itself, so some of that might have seeped in there. but being spoiled didn't really bother me (especially since it didn't really spoil anything in the end); and as for the chapter itself, I honestly didn't have any real issues with it. well, let me back up -- I don't have any issues with any of the story points the chapter touched on, I should say.

Deku winning is fine (he's the hero guys c'mon)

Nagant losing is sad (in the sense that I was hoping for some sort of impossible scenario in which neither she nor Deku lost lol) but expected

Deku being op is also expected (even if it was a bit over the top lol), and not something I actually mind at all, as I have said in other posts

Deku using Talk no Jutsu on Nagant was hilariously abrupt, but also otherwise fine (Nagant was clearly teetering on the fence as far as the whole "villain" thing goes, and already had doubts, so she was the perfect target for this technique which Deku has been perfecting ever since the days of the Sports Festival)

Nagant dying is VERY BAD, but hopefully (HOPEFULLY) she's not actually dead

and Hawks showing up is also fine. never gonna catch me complaining about a surprise Hawks appearance lol

basically when you break it all down like that, I'm totally good with everything. but I will say though that even though the story beats were fine, the execution of this chapter was basically a hot mess lmao. everything happened very suddenly and hurriedly. I think Horikoshi just wanted to wrap up the fight quickly once it had served its purpose. which tbh I don't mind, because as much as I enjoyed this fight (and I really did), I wouldn't have wanted it to go on for another few weeks until it got repetitive. I'm fine with moving on. but I'm just gonna say it, this chapter wasn't exactly a master class in wrapping up arcs gracefully lol.

anyway, but "hear, hear" to basically everything you said, anon. except for the part about Deku going back to UA. I do desperately want him to reunite with his friends, but I also don't want all of the glorious angst build-up of this arc to go to waste. more like it's finally time for his friends to come find him. manifesting the Deku Rescue arc next lol. do this for me Horikoshi.

[haleigh-sloth]

Loved your answer! But honestly wish hori was a little bit more versatile when it comes to fighting styles and i don't necessarily mean strength wise. For example as i asked you about dabi i didnt mean a fight in a sense that it only relies on strength but more so since dabi has an absolute disadvantage when it comes to his body it makes sense to me that he would adapt and use a different fighting style maybe incorporate direct battle (combat) something like that since he is aware he is lacking in longetivity bc of his fire power. He has his mind (even with the c level intelligence lmao) so maybe if we got more of him trying to win with strategy instead idk I dont think hori writes logical and strategic battles he mostly relies on pure power (enji, shouto) so i always assumed dabi would find ways around his disadvantage (idk if i can call it disability maybe quirk disability)

Ahhhh, I do get what you’re saying. I still don’t feel the same but I understand a bit better now what you’re wanting.

Although, I’m not sure if “c level intelligence” means he’s not smart or what, but I think Dabi is definitely smart. He thinks things out, he’s strategic as hell. He orchestrated the take down of his father, yes with help from Skeptic, but he was the brains behind that operation. Idk, he doesn’t come across to me as average intelligence.

But—back to the combat. My answer still remains the same. BNHA isn’t about the fights. I compare it to Naruto a lot for similarities but I’m gonna state a difference here—just to explain my point with how BNHA is as a story.

In Naruto you get all these in depth explanations of how Naruto powered up his chakra, with Jiraiya, with his Sage Chakra, and with mastering Nine Tails with Kakashi. There’s a lot of focus on technique in order to explain HOW fights and combat differs in that story.

BNHA is not like that. It doesn’t focus on how certain characters manage to fight or strategize. It’s never really cared about that. We get half-assed explanations for Midoriya’s quirks but that’s it.

It’s because BNHA, as a whole, has never focused on combat. It hasn’t. I don’t think the author cares about that stuff, as evidenced by what we’ve seen so far.

The fights we’ve seen have either been for pure entertainment (JTA 🙄, and the practical exam to an extent, and the provisional licensing exam kind of) or to deliver the story’s theme or message (Muscular, Overhaul, MVA, War).

What you’re describing, IMO, would personally drive me nuts lol. Because that was my least favorite aspect of Naruto. I would honestly not enjoy it at all if BNHA started focusing on combat techniques.

I get how it could be interesting to watch Dabi figure out how to work around his quirk issue, but again—Dabi keeping his distance from the battle field is important to his character. And Dabi’s character as a whole has never been given a TON of focus (for a reason) so it would kind of kill the mysterious vibes around him if we got his inner thoughts on “instead of using my fire, I’m going to do this”. Like, Dabi’s whole thing until now is being a mystery, he’s a big ?.

TL;DR: BNHA isn’t a combat focused story. If it was, I would imagine Hori would have delved into the self-destructive quirk issue. But it hasn’t ever really been that. This is purely a matter of opinion though, not saying anybody is wrong for wanting that. I personally am fine with how it is, not focusing on the ins and outs of how characters win their fights. BNHA’s fights are much much deeper than the combat.

“inked heart” - jjk oneshot

genre: friends to lovers!au, fluff, a teensy dash of angst

pairing: tattoo artist!guk x tattoo artist!reader (f)

summary: jeon jungkook, a rising star in the tattoing world, is looking to take home best large black and white piece at the 25th annual milano tattoo convention. already one to watch from his previous wins as a young artist, pressures rise when his model for the competition cancels half an hour before the show. 

always there when he needs you, you offer to be his model but jungkook is reluctant, especially when the piece is in a more... intimate place. and the fact that he’s been in love with you for the better part of two years. jungkook isn’t too sure how he’s going to survive the next three hours, not when you ask him if he thinks you’re attractive. 

caught between a rock and a hard place, does he lie to you and himself when the prize is on the line? it’s go big or go home...

word count: 5.9k

warnings: some guk pining, cursing, mentions of heartbreaker jimin, the smallest dash of angst about not winning, tattoo artist yoongi

a/n: my first guk piece! thank you guys so much for the love on the preview, especially your comments. they honestly make my day. i hope this lives up to your expectations and you enjoy it just as much. this was a random idea i had and i love tattooed guk so here we are. i tried my best to make sure all the tattoo things were accurate so if they aren’t sorry in advance 😭 this was a lot of fun to write and i’m actually debating on writing some other things for this couple (especially for guk’s birthday), but i’m not sure yet. let me know if y’all are interested though and i’ll see what i can come up with. as always, thank you vi for supporting my shenanigans and reading this like four times lmao. feedback is always welcomed and highly appreciated. enjoy everyone! 

full masterlist // drabbles

Jungkook’s body buzzed with excitement as he squeezed past the bustling bodies at the 25th annual Milano Tattoo Convention. His fourth year at the world’s largest tattooing competition with a chance to take home the prize for “Best Large Black & White” piece against four hundred incredible artists had Jungkook amped up and ready to go. Some of his inspirations - legends in the game - were mere feet away from him as he browsed the almost endless stations filled with merchandise, displays of new tattoo designs, and occupied benches with models. There was almost nothing he enjoyed more than being around the sound of buzzing guns and filling sheets of half-filled paper with sketches his brain had no issues conjuring up but sometimes struggled to complete. Well, except food. And video games. And you. Not really the point though.

He’d been tattooing for almost six years now, from the moment he’d been able to convince Yoongi to let him be his apprentice. Jungkook had wasted no time in starting his own personal tattoo collection, quickly filling in a full sleeve on his right arm going across his right pectoral and another upper half sleeve on his left. Now, he was making his own name in the art world, commissioning pieces solely off his ability to execute various styles well with very little practice. Jungkook was a jack of all trades and very nearly a master of all. He was a risk-taker and it had paid off for him during his time at Milano, taking home “Best Small Black & White” his second year at the ripe age of twenty, and then “Best Medium Black & White” the following year. Yoongi could barely believe it when the judges called his name and announced him the winner but Jungkook knew his mentor’s chest was swollen with pride. This time, though, there were bigger fish to fry - “Best Large Black & White” in a style Jungkook had just begun feeling comfortable with: fine line tattoos.

He paused at the Killer Ink booth where Hori Kashi was working on a beautiful traditional koi fish upper half sleeve design as his phone buzzed. An Instagram notification.

_petuniablooms: hey jungkook! im so sorry this is last minute but i won’t be able to make the convention to be your model. I got a bad case of food poisoning from dinner last night. i hope this doesn’t cost you the comp. but when you’re back in the country, maybe i can schedule an appt? sorry again!

Jungkook blinked slowly. She couldn’t make it? This was not part of his plan. She was supposed to be here in the next half an hour so he would have enough time to complete his piece for judging in four hours. As one of the younger artists at the convention and with immense amounts of talent, people wondered how long Jungkook would be able to sustain his efforts, especially after taking home prizes in one of the major categories two years in a row. Most of them thought he would burn out after his second year or third year, but here he was. Competitive by nature, Jungkook wanted to prove them wrong - that he really did have what it took to be one of the best in the game. A legend in his own right. He shoved his phone back into his black cargo pants pocket and tugged on his curling brown locks. What was he going to do now?

“Guk! Hey, Guk!” He could barely make out your petite frame as you shoved and elbowed your way through the throngs of folk gathered around booths. You were set on getting to him though, your smaller form not holding you back from covering the distance, your brow set in determination whenever he did get glimpses of your face in the crowd.

That was something Jungkook admired about you: your no-nonsense-get-it-done attitude. Friends for almost three years now, he’d seen the way you’d taken charge of almost every opportunity that came your way. You didn’t take no as the final answer and if you couldn’t find a way to make it happen, you created your own. Either way, you got it done. As the first lead female tattoo artist at your shop, Sin City, you’d also made a name for yourself in the tattooing world as a specialist in black and white shading. Your signature though was the three-color-combination color style you developed for your color tattoos. That’s how the two of you had met - the year he’d won “Best Small Black & White”, you’d taken home “Best Medium Color” - and the two of you hadn’t looked back since.

“Gosh, there’s so many people here. It was so hard to find you. I knew I should have checked the Kashi booth first,” you said after finding a pocket of space next to him and hugging his torso.

“Y/N, it’s a convention. Of course there’s going to be a lot of people here,” he replied, wrapping his arms around you, subconsciously looking for comfort in your touch.

Though the two of you mostly had conflicting schedules due to the demand for your work, you did your best to make time for one another. Jungkook had grown accustomed to seeing you every few weeks for lunch or on Friday nights with beer and chicken for Marvel movie marathon weekends. He didn’t dwell on it too much - how ridiculously domestic a lot of your traditions were - not wanting to shake the table and send the precariously perched house of cards pyramid the two of you had created crashing to the ground, upsetting the balance of your friendship. No, Jungkook would leave those thoughts right where they were.

He more felt than saw you roll your eyes as you said, “Yes, Guk. Conventions have lots of people. This just seems like a health and safety hazard though.” Jungkook squeezed you as you pressed closer to him, slightly uncomfortable as more people gathered in the area.

“Alright, let’s go,” he replied, reminding himself to search for the finished koi design afterward as the two of you walked away. “How’d your piece go?”

“So fucking good!” you beamed and turned your face towards him. He couldn’t help but smile back. “Though I don’t know if it’ll win this year, the guy seemed to be really pleased and that’s all that matters. Plus, t-shirt sales have gone up. Like way up! Speaking of which, you should buy one. My t-shirt design on your body?” you did the chef’s kiss, “Impeccable!” you exclaimed and grinned.

Your smile was another thing Jungkook admired about you. The faintest dimples appeared when you did and there was almost never a moment when he couldn’t not smile with you. It was a smile that reached your twinkling eyes and illuminated your face with a glow. Like right now, as you’re striking poses and modeling your black and white cityscape background covered with your shop’s name in a candy red color, a tattoo gun positioned to finish the last line of the last letter on the white tee in the middle of the crowded aisle in some of the shortest shorts he’s ever seen you wear in public. When did you get those?

“You know what would look good on my body?” you asked as the pair of you carried on walking. Me, he thought, but knew where this conversation was really going. “One of your tattoo designs!”

Jungkook sighed. “Y/N, we’ve already talked about this -”

“I know, Guk, but you literally have no reason to not tattoo me,” you whined. “You’ve tattooed every single one of your other friends! Hell, even Yoongi has a tattoo by you.”

“Yoongi has what?” the older man asked as he bumped into you two as you passed the registration booth.

“A tattoo by Jungkook,” you pouted, arms crossed.

It wasn’t that Jungkook didn’t want to tattoo you. He just didn’t want to fuck up a design that would be permanently etched into your skin for the rest of your life. He wanted to create something that was beautiful for you, something that really conveyed the importance of your presence in his life, but every time he sat down to do so, nothing seemed good enough. You’d been seriously begging him for the better part of a year to do something - anything - but he’d refused saying that he didn’t have the time. Secretly, he just didn’t want to fail and let you down.

“Ah, that age-old debate. It’ll happen one day, kid,” Yoongi said as he patted your shoulder gently. “What time are you setting up, Jeon? Your model’s supposed to be here soon, right?” Yoongi asked.

“Fuck!” Jungkook shouted, tugging on his hair and startling a few people around him. “Fuck, fuck, fuck! I don’t have one. She can’t make it. I have to find someone else,” he yelled as he took off, no destination really in mind.

“Wait! Guk -” you called after him but he didn’t stop.

Sometimes, being around you was dangerous as Jungkook could quite literally forget what it was he needed to be doing. There was just something about you that made him lose focus, just a little bit. He couldn’t have that right now. Jungkook needed to be on his A-game, scouting a model that would give him consent in - he checked his phone - twelve minutes.

The one time Jungkook needed someone to be interested in his work, there wasn’t a single soul around. Where had all the people who were begging him to schedule them in for a quick session disappeared to? None of the people passing by were interested in getting a random, floral design done by Jeon Jungkook today, unfortunately. It was as though the devil of the tattoo underworld had cursed him the one time he could have used some luck for the sole purpose of being entertained. Circling back to the D-Town Tattoos booth, Jungkook was running out of options. Shit.

“There you are!” you wheezed as you came to a halt and rested your hands on the table in front of you. “Fuck, I forgot how fast you are.”

“Y/N, I don’t have time. I have to find a model -”

“Why don’t you just use Y/N?” Yoongi asked as he calmly took a seat next to his bench, a tall young man following behind him.

“I couldn’t -” Jungkook spluttered, eyes wide.

“Like you said, Jeon, you don’t have time,” Yoongi reminded him, setting up his work station for his client.

Jungkook looked over at you, still slightly hunched over and trying to catch your breath. This was not how he’d wanted to do this. “Are you sure, Y/N? I don’t know if -”

“Fuck yeah, dude!” you said interrupting him. “100%. Let’s do this!”

Jungkook watched as you made yourself comfortable on his workbench, waiting for him to get started. The fact that you weren’t nervous only added to his apprehension, the fear of potentially disappointing you resurfacing and rising in his gut. It felt like he was taking a risk with stakes much higher than he was willing to bet on, but the trust you had in him had him saying, “Okay. Fill out the consent forms and I’ll pull up the design.”

“What are we working with?” you asked curiously, handing the clipboard back over to him, not really reading it and only signing your name in the designated spots.

“Thigh piece,” he murmured, concentrating on finding the correct sketch on his iPad.

“Sounds fun. I know it’s going to be amazing, Guk. Don’t worry,” you reassured him. He smiled warily as you gave his shoulder a tender squeeze.

Nodding more to himself than you, he showed you the design. @_petuninablooms, like her name suggested, loved flowers. So much so, she’d wanted a full piece dedicated to that specific flower as well as whatever other floral arrangements she thought Jungkook could make look pretty against her skin. She’d won his Instagram contest to be his model for free at the convention because of her sentimental design and background as a botanist, something that piqued Jungkook’s interest. Though he was proud of the design, it didn’t seem to fit you.

“I don’t know, Y/N. I don’t know if it’ll fit your style,” he said, gesturing to your upper half sleeve. The three faces of Frida Khalo, Nefertiti, and Tomoe Gozen were beautifully designed and organized by you as a symbol of feminine unity - embodying passion, leadership, and grace. A much edgier piece than what currently sat on the screen of his iPad designed for his winner, he wasn’t sure how you’d feel about the softer image.

“I told you, Guk. You could tattoo anything on me and I’d be happy. Maybe even more happy than if you’d let me tattoo you. I just want to have something of yours on me - support your craft, you know? Besides,” you said zooming in on the flowers, your gold rings shining in the light, “I like petunias.” Jungkook wasn’t sure if you were only saying this to make him feel better, but he was grateful for your encouragement anyway.

“Uh, I’m going to need you to take your shorts off,” he said hesitantly. “Yoongi, this isn’t against the rules, right? Like having another artist sit for you?” Jungkook asked, turning to give you some privacy though anyone walking past would be able to see you shimmy out of them as there was no curtain or door to shield you.

“Nope. Not that I’ve read,” Yoongi replied, concentrating on his design. Jungkook nodded, steeling himself to focus and get the job done. What he wasn’t expecting was to see you adjusting the band of some very high-waisted, very skimpy, black panties. He nearly choked.

“Does this need to be further up? If not, I can take them off for you. I don’t -”

“No!” Jungkook cried out as he tore his eyes away from the curve of your ass. “I can just move the stencil. It’ll be fine,” he continued after clearing his throat.

“Okay,” you said awkwardly. Jungkook apologized for his outburst as he wheeled himself over to sit in front of you on his little stool. He was making a much bigger deal of this entire situation that it needed to be. He’d seen you in a bikini before, but something about seeing you in your underwear sitting before him was different.

“Relax, Jeon. It’s only a thigh!” Yoongi teased, his head down but his shit-eating grin very much present as he worked on the shading on his client’s forearm. Though Yoongi would never say anything to you out of respect for Jungkook, Jungkook knew Yoongi enjoyed putting him through the wringer whenever you were around.

“Not just a thigh! It belongs to me. My thigh is prime real estate, Min Yoongi. There’s a lot of artists that have been wanting to get in on this,” you joked. Jungkook laughed as he prepped your skin for placing the stencil with rubbing alcohol, hating the fact that he couldn’t feel your skin through the latex gloves but also grateful for the sensory blocker. He knew you were right though - lots of artists did want to work on you and have you walk around with their work as free endorsement of their skill. Honestly, this was a prime opportunity and he should make the most of it.

“Would you be okay with me changing this larger petunia into a mandala? I know you like those,” Jungkook suggested.

“Guk, this is your piece. I told you, I’m good with whatever,” you said cheerfully.

“Keep talking like that I’ll tattoo my name on your ass,” he quipped as he adjusted the design before placing it.

“Make it your face and we just may have a deal,” you shot back and Yoongi gagged from his corner. Jungkook did not want to think about the potential implication of those words.

He wasn’t sure if he’d be able to survive the next three and a half hours with you making suggestive comments while standing in your barely-there underwear, but he was going to have to. Of course, as friends, you’d always had the occasional flirty banter but the “Best Large Black & White” prize was calling his name and God did he want to win. He double-checked the placement of the design as it stretched from just above your hip bone to finish in the middle of your thigh. His adjustments were so precise, it covered the expanse of your thigh damn near perfectly. Jungkook grinned.

“Ready?” he asked, holding up a mirror as you checked out the placement, twisting from side to side.

“Yeah, looks great. How do you want me?”

Jungkook paused as he set up his rolling tray filled with his ink caps and laid out his sterilized needles. There were more than a few ways he could answer that but he settled on, “However you’re most comfortable. You’re going to be here for a while.”

You laughed and climbed onto the bench, giving Jungkook a perfect view of your ass, before you settled against the leather on your left side. Jungkook adjusted the height of his seat so he could position on your thigh with your bent knee resting against the bench and angled towards him. Confirming you were indeed comfortable, Jungkook gently rubbed the A&D ointment across the first section of the design, taking slightly longer than necessary, and got to work. There was a little over three hours to get it done.

He worked diligently as he traced the fine lines of the flower petals, slipping into his professional mode. A small crowd had gathered around the booth, intrigued to see him work on you. Most of the folks there knew about your friendship from social media and mutual community-work settings, how the two of you had bonded over your shared love of tattoos, but seeing the two of you together like this was a real treat. He didn’t feel any pressure as the cameras fought to get a glimpse of him working though. Jungkook did well under pressure but there was a lot riding on this one piece. For him and for you. He wouldn’t disappoint you though. He couldn’t. Not when you looked so peaceful as he worked on the tattoo. Jungkook would win and make you proud.

“Guk, I have a question.”

“What’s up?”

“Would you fuck me?” Jungkook was thankful he’d removed the needle from your skin to wipe off the extra ointment as there was no doubt in his mind he would have fucked up had it been there.

“What?” he asked, slightly breathless.

“Okay, maybe that was a bit vulgar. I guess what I mean is do you think I’m attractive? Like -” you tucked a loose strand of your hair behind your ear, “- a woman you’d spend the night with. Date long-term. That sort of thing,” you finished. Jungkook swallowed before he spoke.

“Uh, yeah. You’re an attractive person.” Jungkook replied, avoiding eye contact with you as he went back to tracing the lines and tried not to think of you under him, around him, on top of - “Why do you ask?”

“I don’t know. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a relationship - since anyone has even asked me on a date. Seokjin never called me back after we went for drinks that one time and Jimin - nevermind actually,” you sighed and Jungkook re-lived the memory of Park Jimin with you - the second man to break your heart in a matter of months. His face soured as he remembered how inconsolable you were the first few months after the breakup and how badly he’d wanted to take a baseball bat to Jimin’s very nice, very expensive car. “Maybe I’m unapproachable. Yoongi, am I unapproachable?” you called over to him.

“Yes,” he said dryly, not bothering to look at you. You scoffed in response.

“You’re never the best person to ask, you old man! People barely talk to you,” you murmured.

“Y/N, you’re great,” Jungkook said in response. “You’re more than great actually, but maybe now isn’t the time to get into a relationship?”

“Why not? I have a stable job, I’m cool -”

“Barely!” Yoongi called over. Jungkook watched you shoot Yoongi the finger before you began speaking again.

“- and I’m charming. It would be nice if someone could appreciate that too, someone that wasn’t only me.”

“Hey! I appreciate you!” Jungkook blurted out, slightly offended.

“Yeah, like a friend. Guk, you know you don’t -”

“Don’t say it. Don’t tell me I don’t count, Y/N.”

“But Jungkook -”

Jungkook paused and set his gun down. “No. No ‘but Guk’, Y/N. I appreciate you, more than you know or understand. I get that we’re friends and I know you value our friendship, but you don’t get to tell me I don’t count because you think you know how I feel about you. Please don’t let your perception of my words and actions let you label them “friendly” when they’re something else.” Jungkook picked his gun back up, avoiding your gaze again, slightly alarmed by his unplanned confession.

“What? What do you mean ‘something different’?” you asked, confused. “Was I supposed to read this any differently after you said -”

“You weren’t supposed to know. You weren’t supposed to find out - not like this at least,” he muttered. Taking a deep breath, he said, “Just don’t count me out okay, Y/N? Not this time. Can we talk about this later though? I just -”

Before he could finish, Jungkook’s alarm went off, signaling only an hour and a half left before he needed to be taking you for judgement. “Okay, Guk. I won’t count you out. Finish,” you said softly as you nodded to your tattoo and chewed your lip in thought.

With time against him, you and Jungkook no longer conversed, though the conversation rattled in his brain like loose change in a tin can. He would need much more than a penny for his thoughts if he wanted to get out of this situation. The hasty confession had Jungkook wondering if he’s said too much too soon. Had he finally sent the house of cards tumbling down? It’s not that he hadn’t wanted to say anything, but the fear of you not meaning what you’d said frightened him. Memories of the two of you curled up on his aging leather sofa flickered across his mind’s eye and he wondered if this fuck up was worse than the time he’d quickly denied having any romantic feelings for you the morning after a drunk confession and you’d reciprocated the feelings. It had taken a few months for things to return back to any type of normal, an uneasy tension having over you both whenever you’d met up. Every few seconds his eyes flitted to your face, hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever you were thinking sprawled across your forehead in your big, looping handwriting but your eyes were closed and your face fairly serene as you let him work in silence.

And work he did, shoving the thoughts to the back of his mind, finishing the last lines of the final petunia and filling in the mandala with various degrees of shading. He admired the delicacy of his work against your smooth skin, deciding it did suit you, much more than he could have hoped. Jungkook was actually slightly disappointed he was close to finishing, already missing the intimacy of working on you, but also eager to get you on stage so people could see his work. He’d gotten lost in the act like he usually did, concentration never breaking as the rest of the Milano Convention continued in full effect around him. Why had he waited so long to do this? You were a dream to work on, never flinching even as he finished up the minute shading of your tattoo, the worst part for many people. A true tattoo veteran with a hell of a pain tolerance. Roughly ten minutes left in the session, Jungkook wrapped up the piece.

“All done,” he said softly, wiping away the excess ointment and admiring his work briefly.

He heard you gasp as you propped yourself up to get a better view of it. “Holy fuck, Jungkook! It’s perfect. I love it!” you whispered in amazement and Jungkook smiled, relieved to not have disappointed you.

“Let me get some pictures, yeah?” You nodded and Jungkook snapped a few shots, promising to send them to you after the convention ended.

“Looks good, Jeon. And you got it done in time. You learned well,” Yoongi chuckled as Jungkook weakly punched his shoulder. “Are you happy, Y/N?” Yoongi asked as he packed up his spare equipment while his client waited patiently to be escorted to judging.

“Happy?” you scoffed, checking the tattoo out again in the mirror. “How about fucking ecstatic? I’m absolutely in love. Seriously Guk, thank you,” you beamed and launched yourself at him for a hug. Jungkook made eye contact with Yoongi as he held you tight in his arms, the older man relaying a silent message to his younger apprentice through raised eyebrows and crossed arms.

“Alright, alright. You can stare at it more later. We have to get to the judges and make it through all these people so,” Jungkook trailed off, letting you go while simultaneously ushering you out of their designated little space. Agreeing, you grabbed your teeny shorts and shoved your feet back into your sneakers. Jungkook stayed close behind you in an effort to cover your very visible, very exposed ass from peering eyes as you moved through the crowd. As much as he hated to admit it, he was really protective of you.

The trek to the judging station wasn’t as official as the name made it sound. It was really just a small stage raised a few inches above the ground with a table and enough chairs to seat the three judges as artists and their models were scored based on design, complexity, and overall execution. This year’s judges were Jung Hoseok of J’s Tailored Tattoos, Kim Namjoon of Mono & Moon, and Kim Taehyung of Vintage Vante. The three of them were rightfully deemed the gods of the tattoo world and Jungkook looked up to them immensely, each of them having numerous titles on the world stage in countries like Brasil, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Nerves rolled in Jungkook’s belly as he waited in the crowd with you for the host to call his name. A win with these guys as the judges would really put some of those naysayers in their place and Jungkook shuffled in place behind you, antsy.

“What’s wrong, Guk?’ you whispered to him as another artist and model headed on stage.

“What if they don’t like it?” he murmured anxiously.

“Do you like it?” Jungkook nodded. “Then that’s all that really matters. You’re insanely talented and I know they’re some of your role models, but they’re fucked if they don’t see how incredible you are. You’ve got this, Guk,” you said in a hushed tone as Yoongi took the stage with his model from earlier. Jungkook smiled into the back of your head as you stood in front of him and gave his hand a squeeze. Jungkook could always count on you.

It was now his turn. Standing with one hand tucked into his pocket and the other firmly gripping your shorts, Jungkook watched as the judges made their notes on their scoring sheets. You turned graciously to give all three of them the best view of the tattoo. And while he knows that there are probably a few people who’d be overjoyed at the challenges he faced to get to this moment, Jungkook didn’t care. Not when your uplifting words still wrapped around him, affirming his skill and talents. He was proud of what he’d accomplished today and while winning was the ultimate goal, he was also at ease because he’d succeeded in fulfilling one of your wishes and you were happy. Jungkook could only smile as you showered him with praise and tried to convince him to tattoo you again as the judging continued.

The two of you stood with Yoongi, chatting as the judges tallied up the scores. He tried to stay still as he watched the host organize the names of the winning artists, losing interest in the conversation as the judges confirmed the final results. One by one, the host read the categories and its corresponding champion. “For Best Medium Color,” the host paused for dramatic effect, “Min Yoongi!” Jungkook cheered loudly with you as his mentor took the stage with his model showing off the antique pocket watch and a royal flush poker hand on top of a wispy background.

Jungkook’s heart hammered in his chest, the sensation almost worse than his first year at the convention as Best Large Black & White was read out. Though he wanted to look calm and collected on the outside, Jungkook was sure he looked anything but. The audience created their own drumroll as the anticipation built - “Jeon Jungkook!”

Your squeal kickstarted Jungkook’s brain as he processed his win. He’d really done it? A few people around him clapped him on the shoulders in congratulations as he was pushed towards the stage to collect his prize and take his place beside the host. “Congratulations, Jungkook! One of the few artists to take home all three wins in one category,” the host announced. If only they knew what it took to get there. Jungkook felt like he was on cloud nine as he shook hands with the judges and took his picture with you and them, prize in hand. He knew he was positively glowing with pride.

“Guk, you did it! I told you that you could!” you cheered as you bounced up and down in happiness and excitement as they moved onto Best Large Color. He smiled down at you and unable to help himself any longer, he scooped you up into his arms, burying his face in your neck.

“Thank you, Y/N!” He repeated the phrase earnestly as if saying it over and over again would finally let you understand just how grateful he was but all it really did was make you giggle as his breath tickled your skin. “Seriously, I really couldn’t have done this without you.”

“I know,” you joked and flipped your hair. You both laughed and you pulled him in for another hug as you said, “Of course, Guk. I’m always here for you. Always,” you punctuated with a squeeze and a smile.

“Yeah, yeah,” he agreed. “You are always here for me,” he said vaguely as he stared down at you in his arms.

“Guk?” you queried as he stared off into the distance.

“This isn’t happening because I won. I don’t want you to think that I only do things like this when I’m any sort of intoxicated, okay?” Jungkook clarified as his confidence grew.

“Things like what?”

“Like confess and kiss you,” he stated.

“Kiss me? You’ve never-”

“Yes, I know I’ve never kissed you. But I want to. Is that okay?” Jungkook asked seriously.

“Yes. More than okay,” you whispered.

It was all Jungkook needed to hear. He was finally kissing you. A soft kiss that grew the longer you stood pressed together in the middle of the convention floor. Jungkook had had his fair share of first kisses, but yours was the one he’d remember for the rest of his life. Maybe because it was you. Maybe that’s why it would always be his favorite. He’d always refrained from putting himself in any situation where he’d be even the slightest bit tempted but now, after having you, he wasn’t sure he’d be able to let you go. The overwhelming sensation that it was actually happening was quickly quelled by the insurmountable joy he felt as you kissed because it was actually happening.

Jungkook may have ascended into another plane as your fingers curled into the hair at the base of his neck and you pulled him further into you. Though he really didn’t want you to think he was only doing this because he’d won, the courage it gave him really did help. The feeling of winning nearly paled in comparison from the brief, sweet taste that was you. Even if he’d never won tonight, he would have considered himself a winner regardless from the kiss alone. Jungkook sighed into you as he savored the moment. Through the pounding of blood in his ears, he could vaguely make out the hoots and hollers of passerbyers as he held you close. Lost in you once again, Jungkook forced himself to remember your earlier conversation.

“Did you really mean it though?” he asked, one arm still wrapped tightly around your waist and the other holding onto his golden plaque.

“Mean what?”

“Not counting me out.”

“Did you mean what you said?” you countered. “Even if I wasn’t supposed to find out this way.”

“Yes, and all the times before then,” he answered truthfully. “So, does this mean you’ll have me?”

“Absolutely. Totally. With my entire hea-” He pressed repeated kisses against your mouth, your teeth clashing as you both smiled, neither of you willing to break apart until a familiar voice cleared its throat.

“I leave for five minutes and this is how I find you. Took you long enough though. Be that as it may, are you done?” Yoongi asked, expression wry and his own prize peeking out of his duffle bag. “I could use some food before we head back to the hotel and Y/N is going to need that tattoo bandaged.”

“Right, right,” Jungkook answered and let you go albeit reluctantly. “We’ll meet you at the car?” Yoongi nodded.

“Don’t take forever. I will leave you. Both of you,” Yoongi warned as he headed off to the exit without any further questions.

Back at the booth, Jungkook applied a generous amount of ointment to the piece before securing it with a bandage and double-checking the tape. Helping you step into your shorts, he smiled at the tattoo. Not only would it be a great reminder of a great win, it would also signify the milestone in your friendship - relationship? - was taking. “Told you that you should’ve tattooed me sooner,” you quipped as you gingerly pulled up your shorts.

“Oh yeah? Why’s that?” he asked, playing along as he quickly packed up his things.

“You would have won much sooner,” you murmured, standing before him.

“Really? What would have been my prize instead? Because that plaque is pretty great.” Jungkook sat his bag on the ground and rested his hands on your hips.

“Better than me?” you grinned and he pressed his lips to yours again.

“Looks like I’ll have to come up with another design then,” he hummed.

“Or you can let me and I can tattoo you,” you suggested with a devilish grin.

“And what do you propose?”

“My name. Right here,” you pointed to the empty space on the left side of his chest.

“Only if you let me tattoo my face on your ass,” he joked and gave it a gentle squeeze.

“Deal,” you laughed.

Jungkook said nothing further, only smiled as he laced his fingers between yours and tugged you in the direction of the exit. “Great. I’ll have everything arranged,” he replied. Laughing with you in these moments meant so much to him and while he wasn’t sure what would happen between you after you left the convention and headed home, he would take pleasure in these moments for as long as you’d let him. As the two of you exited the building and hustled across the busy street to the parking garage so Yoongi wouldn’t have an excuse to leave you, Jungkook wondered if you’d known that your name had been inked over his heart a long, long time ago.

[bootlickerhawks]

oh yeah i hadnt thought of it in that way! horikoshi definitely is good at slower burn writing- im just also wary of how he's going to treat the villains' character arcs bc of how it's going in the manga, with heroes being fixed up very suddenly and without much lead up so as to help the heroes win this last big fight. it also may be an issue that im more focusing on the villain arcs bc im attached to them more so than class 1A generally lmao

Oh don’t worry I’m the same way! At this point I’m only invested in the LOV and todofam (& Hawks to a degree) and I’m very skeptical about how Horikoshi is going to handle BNHA’s societal issues, the LOV and the Todoroki abuse situation.    

I do think Horikoshi can be a good writer but I don’t think I trust him when it comes to resolving all the issues he’s brought up in the story. My greatest fear is that he’ll emulate Naruto’s cop out and pull a “We replaced all the Bad People in power! Everything is daijoubu! :D” without addressing any of the systemic issues.

I really wish I had more faith in Horikoshi but I just don’t unfortunately. His own protagonist’s character growth has stagnated for far too long (tho chapter 295 has given me a small ray of hope, however that ray of hope will be meaningless unless Deku goes through some serious self evaluation). Deku is supposed to become the greatest hero yet it seems he’s only focused on becoming stronger and mastering OFA, which is understandable given that his ultimate opponent is AFO but I feel that Deku’s compassionate and empathetic side was put on the back burner once he discovered his multiple quirks. 

My optimistic side wants to hope that this is another case of Horikoshi’s slow burn and that Deku will realize that he’s focused too much on his physical strength and neglected his compassionate side which is what allowed him to save Shouto, Kota (tho i have some issues w/ the things he said to Kota) and Eri. 

I believe that Izuku can’t earn the title of Greatest Hero unless he saves Shigaraki and the LOV and he can’t save the League without acknowledging their pain and what caused it. 

Basically, imo, the story of BNHA hinges on Izuku getting a fucking reality check and given the way Hori has written him so far I’m not very hopeful.

In some ways I wish I had gotten into BNHA after it was over cuz I’m an impatient little turd and Horikoshi’s slow pace frustrates me lol (especially when you compare it to JJK or Black Clover)   

#asks #bnha asks #bnha manga spoilers #oops this turned into a deku rant ^^' #bnha/discourse #ramble #deku is very frustrating to me cuz he had a lot of potential but i feel like hori doesn't really care abt his character #i really feel like hori needs to take notes from asta in black clover cuz he's a lot better at trying to understand and emphasize w his foes #edit: oof i noticed my typo >_<

[dekuskacchan]

There are some Pro-Heroes, that make my head itch. Thirteen, we can never see them fully, don't even know their name, for sure.

omg thirteen makes me scratch my head too, she's so mysterious!! i want to know moreeeeeee

hori is a master at keeping people guessing lmao

#but we love him #thirteen is so cool i wish we had more info #bnha #ask #birdie blabbers #woolly9

[dabistits]

Shigaraki!

favorite thing about them: i love his design... i particularly love his hair after 220 because it’s luscious and fluffy and gorgeous, but the hands in particular are such a cool detail. they make him super identifiable while being symbolically significant to his character development & backstory, and while i know hori hated drawing them i think he’s a mad lad for doing it for several dozen chapters anyway (and i’m glad he did, because again, excellent design).

least favorite thing about them: i hate that he’s still the ideological black void that’s pretty much par of the course for any character that seeks to challenge ~the system.~ i’m bored of antagonists that want to destroy things because they’re traumatized or just assholes, like Can I Get A Belief System Please.

favorite line: obviously this is still simplified and filtered through a liberal understanding of criticisms of state violence, but it nevertheless remains so interesting to me that tomura said this so early on in the series (whether or not he believed in it) and then we just never came back to it again lmao

brOTP: with kurogiri!!!! i still want to know more about their relationship, because it does seem slightly cool/professional throughout the first half of the series, but... kurogiri obviously has affection for him and that makes me emotional...

OTP: uuh shigatwice? they’re a bit far apart in age for my ~usual~ but like. idk. twice is just bursting with love to give and tomura needs love so much sjdfkkgf and i think there’s a lot of mutual respect and reliance between them. i think tomura’s also been aware/considerate of twice’s feelings more than anyone else’s, and it was nice to see him somewhat more obviously Giving A Shit.

nOTP: no minors!!!! no abusers!!!!

random headcanon: in the case of shipping, i hc tomura to have a nebulous sense of boundaries between platonic and romantic love (which i don’t mean negatively at all). i don’t think he ever really socialized normally after the age of..five dkfjgkf and never really hung out with people he chose on his own, so being around the LOV is a sudden influx of positive(...??) emotions that he doesn’t quite know how to parse, much less know specifically what he wants to do with. all he knows is that he has some nice feelings toward the LOV and enjoys being around them, and it’s like... new and confusing, and he hates asking for anything so he’s just gonna relax around them. maybe fall asleep on someone. maybe cuddle.

unpopular opinion: he is no longer an irritable and erratic mess around his allies, tyvm! he’s chill with them and usually either ignores it when they say jokey things, or he gets huffy at most, so please stop portraying him as snappish and snarling every time someone makes a light-hearted jab!!

song i associate with them: “Alpha” by Little Destroyer: So pleased to meet you / Now you know my name / Mother destroyer ya one and the same / Mr preacher time to give up the throne / I’m the master now damn its good to be home / Just call me alpha

favorite picture of them: vol 24 extra

BNHA Chapter 213 Reaction

Friend: are you serious? This is... hmm

Me: WHY IS DEKU SUDDENLY LIKE A MARY SUE

Friend: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Me: KMS

Friend: time for deku to break bnha powerlevels

Me: KMS

Friend: hes the avatar now

Me: Avatar, master of EIGHT QUIRKS

Friend: HE HAS A LOT TO LEARN BEFORE SAVING ANYONE, BUT I BELIEVE DEKU CAN SAVE THE WORLD

Me: voiced by Uraraka Ochako

Friend: featuring guest star Present Mic

Me: lmao

-

Me: okay but like I've kinda thought about this briefly. Like "One For All is a stockpile quirk but just because All Might was quirkless doesn't mean the other holders of One For All were quirkless. So why didn't the other quirks get passed on?" I thought about that very briefly. But immediately after I was like "Lol no. Horikoshi wouldn't do that" and moved on with my life.

Friend: welp here we are.

Friend: I mean it makes sense. but like what happened with all might then????????????????????

Me: he's not fucking worthy. It's like Mjolnir. We may love the other MCU characters but they just aren't worthy.

Me: okay but legit. Someone in One For All told Shimura Nana in a dream that it wasn't time yet.

Me: And we're assuming that "the time" skipped All Might for some MC plot stuff

Me: And this singularity piece talks about how One For All had evolved with the multiple holders but evolved in which it also holds multiple quirks within itself

Friend: yeah pretty much

-

Friend: I'm mostly just confused about like how ofa transfers consciousnesses and stuff

Me: idk man

Friend: like power transfer makes sense but why are there people in his head

Me: hmm. I guess it couldn't be a quirk from a holder of OFA because the OG lives within OFA despite his quirk being the ability to transfer quirks. But do we know the full extent of the quirk AFO gave OFA?

Friend: uh "power stockpiling". Hori's gonna be like "the og's quirk was actually a transferal of the SELF" or something like that

Me:

Friend: hmmmmmmm. i just hope it isn't like some random bs

Me: We hope and pray to our lord and saviour

Me: Midoriya's red shoes

Friend: but the real shoes were the friends we made along the way

Me: Kms

I was tagged by @angelofawhitenight to do this fun Touken Ranbu question meme~ Tagging @archerazzure and @catastrophy-cat to do it as well, but only if you want to.

1. What is your name and which server is your citadel in?

My name is Dana, and server is Houki no Kuni.

2. When did you start serving as a saniwa? Please display your battle records.

September 27th, 2017~

3. Which starter sword did you pick? What is he doing now?

Kashuu Kiyomitsu. <3 I used to use him and Yasusada a lot because they were two of the swords I got to level 99 the quickest, but I haven’t used him in a while simply because I have stronger swords than him now that work better than I did before. I still love you, Kashuu!

4. Who is the first among your swords to reach the maximum level? What do you think of him?

I’m pretty sure it was Kogitsunemaru! I got him pretty early on as my first super rare sword, and so that’s one of the reasons I’m very fond of him. <3 He’s adorable and a sweetheart.

5. Who do you have in each of your squads, and how do you use them? If you haven’t unlocked all four teams yet, briefly describe how you plan to organize them.

Hate to disappoint, but I don’t really make much use of the separate teams lol; I just switch out people on Unit 2 depending on what the current event requires of me. Usually the team I like to go with is Jiroutachi, Taroutachi, Ishikimaru, and Iwatooshi all at level 99 and whatever two other strongest swords I have I think best fit, though now I can add Hotarumaru since he’s nearly at level 99 too, and I also finally have gotten a handful of kiwame tantous and a few kiwame wakizashis and uchigatanas, so I can use those too if I need to. Unit 1 I use solely to put an extra Yasusada I kept in the captain position so that he’s always my attendant sword and I always see him and hear his music on my citadel screen. >.>

6. Without considering the performance of the swords, which type of sword do you prefer?

Hmmm.... I guess the uchigatanas, since that category contains most of my favorites lol. But I love the tantous too; they’re so cute. ><

7. Next, we come to the usual questions. List the swords that you like and your thoughts on them.

Time to make this post unnecessarily long! :’D

Yamatonokami Yasusada - Hands down favorite sword in the game, he’s my pure precious child who needs a million hugs and love and comfort and he’s just.... ugh he’s so strong??? So brave? He’s so strong; he has one of the roughest pasts out of all the swords but he handles his grief so well. Anyone who thinks he’s whiny or annoying or talks about Okita too much can fight me, I dare you to. He tries so hard and has so much pain and passion and love inside of him; I know I wouldn’t be able to go through what he did and come out half as well... Also he’s just absolutely adorable, like my god how can you not love him.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu - Kashuu is amazing as well, and he also needs a million hugs and blankets ughhhhhh; his past too affected him terribly, and he closes himself off from it and tries to distance himself from it, the complete opposite of Yasusada, but it’s so obvious how much unresolved baggage he has. His insecurity about his poor place of “birth”, and his abandonment issues because of how he broke and had to be abandoned by Okita, both of which he tries to make up for/erase by making himself beautiful and hoping it will get him the praise and attention he wants from a new master, are all so sad. But it’s also so clear how much he deeply loved Okita and how he misses him as well, even if he’s conflicted about it and never lets it show because of what happened, and I hope that on his kiwame journey he will be able to truly realize and acknowledge this, and embrace the good parts of his past as a Shinsengumi sword.

Hachisuka Koutetsu - My ultimate favorite swords at the top of this ranking are the ones who I fell in love with through the TR musicals, and Hachisuka is definitely one of the ones where this is the most true, specifically with the second musical which focuses heavily on his relationship with his brother Nagasone, which is of course strained because of Hachisuka being a rare real koutetsu sword and Nagasone being a replica one, which Hachisuka uses to belittle him. Without giving spoilers, the musical’s version of Hachisuka forces him to spend extensive time with his brother as well as time in a situation in general that’s pretty alien to him, and he grows and changes as he ponders why exactly he feels the way he does, tries to figure out how Nagasone himself feels and why he acts the way he does, and eventually comes to a realization and understanding, and displays his acceptance of his brother in the most fitting and touching way possible. His development is sublime, and so this is my favorite version of Hachisuka and why I am so in love with him; there’s just so much potential with him and Nagasone’s relationship because of how different they are and their vastly different pasts (this applies to a lot of sword pairs, really), and so the musical Hachisuka is the one that’s canon in my mind. His kiwame just happened and I really, really, really hope it does a good job with him as well. <3

Nagasone Koutetsu - So of course Nagasone would be next lol, I love him a lot. He’s cool, funny, strong, pretty hot (lmao), and puts up with his brother’s shit so well, like damn that is some serious willpower. But he doesn’t let it get to him, because in reality he doesn’t care at all about being a “fake”, and I’m so proud of him for it. I still want to hug him though, because he still doesn’t deserve all those insults, and also because of course being a Shinsengumi sword is such pain and suffering :’’’’) and he has so much internalized grief, just like the other four do. Again, the second musical is mostly responsible for my love for him.

Izuminokami Kanesada - Katsugeki TR was my first introduction to the franchise, so even though I would later learn it characterized him prettyyyy badly lmao, I still fell in love with him first, like he was probably my first favorite sword when I still knew very little about TR. Now that I know that he’s really a giant dork with such a big heart and so much passion and drive and adorableness (just like Yasu), I love him so much. <333 He’s just so good. :’) The new musical is all about him and looking through it even without subtitles had my heart shattered into a million pieces for him; again, Shinsengumi swords automatically need a shitton of hugs and therapy, ugh.

Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki - HE’S JUST A GIANT ADORABLE PUPPY. HE IS AMAZING AND SUCH A SWEETHEART AND I LOVE HIM. I fell in love with him in Katsugeki first and episode 9 made me cry. :’) And I kept loving him. He seems very different in the new musical and it interests me; I can’t wait to see what he’s all about (and cry some more).

Horikawa Kunihiro - Of course I have to love Horikawa if I love Kane; he’s so sweet, and such a good support for the other Shinsengumi swords. He’s wonderful. <3

Ichigo Hitofuri - I love how pure he is as a big brother with the tantous, oh my GOD. It’s just the sweetest thing; he loves them all so much and they love him. ;____; <3 Also his design is gorgeous.

Kogitsunemaru - Like I said up there, first rare sword I got early on, so I’m partial to him. I love his design, and his creation myth. <3 He’s just so sweet.

Yagen Toushirou - He’s a great big brother to the little tantous <3 and I love how he’s their doctor in Hanamaru lol; it fits him.

Tonbokiri - I fell in love with him in Katsugeki; he’s a BIG PURE TEDDY BEAR WHO IS SO SWEET. how dare you make me think he was going to die Katsugeki wtf how could you do that. I desperately need to watch the musical with him in it nnnnngh.

Yamanbagiri Kunihiro - What a cutie, with his cape that he refuses to take off for poor Kasen to wash and his freaking dancing flower with its own little cape. I hope one day he gains self-confidence despite being a replica. :’) I dread the day the real one shows up, if he does.

Nikkari Aoe - Love his design, and just his general demeanor. And his backstory is badass.

Ookurikara - He’s pretty stoic, but I like whenever he loosens up a little and lets out a smile; it’s beautiful. <3

Imanotsurugi - The first musical made me love him; GIVE THIS CHILD A HUG, UGH. He deserves the world, and he and Iwatooshi are the cutest brother pair. ;____; <3

Sayo Samonji - AGAIN, GIVE THIS CHILD A HUG, MY GOD HIS PAST IS SO SAD LET ME HUG HIM AND TELL HIM I’M NOT GOING TO SELL HIM. D’:

Iwatooshi - The best big brother, and he’s been a saving grace to me in many a battle so how can I not love him.

Heshikiri Hasebe - He is so devoted to the saniwa, like oh my god bless his heart lmao; he’s utterly hilarious and wonderful.

Urashima Koutetsu - He’s the one thing Hachisuka and Nagasone will always put aside their differences for and it’s just the best thing ever, and he always tries to help them become closer... it’s so good, I love him. :’’’) <3

Gokotai - HE’S SO CUTE AND HIS NAMESAKE IS THE CUTEST THING

Otegine, Nihongou - Them together with Tonbokiri is amazing, good trio.

8. Are there any pairings that you like? If there, please list them. (No limit on type.)

Don’t ship anything in TR, never. My favorite brother relationships though are the Shinsengumi swords as a group, Yasu and Kashuu, Kane and Hori, Nagasone and Hachisuka, the Koutetsu bros group as a whole, the Samonji brothers group, Imanotsurugi and Iwatooshi, Gokotai and Nihongou, Gokotai and Tonbokiri, and the Toushirous and Ichigo.

9. Is your citadel an employee-friendly citadel or a black-hearted citadel that works your swords to the bone?

Well, I never break swords on purpose or leave them injured on purpose while I’m not using them, but I do send them out constantly in order to complete events, which sometimes involves sending them out while fatigued if I think I can still win with them being fatigued, soooooo that might be considered working them to the bone. *shot* But when there’s no event going on they all get to chill.

10. Have you ever done anything weird to your swords?

how dare you ever imply I would, they are my bABIES YOU HEAR ME-

11. Have you ever broken a sword? What happened, and who did you break?

Nope, never; I take extra care to make sure I never do. I couldn’t stand breaking even another copy of one I already have lol.

12. Who loses troops the most in your citadel? And who is the most skilled at making troops?

I don’t know, no one seems to lose troops more than anyone else that I remember. And Yasusada is always my attendant sword so he always makes the troops lol.

13. Another common question: have you ever done something with all of your might in order to get a particular sword? Please describe what you did and the results.

Oh yeah, back when we had that series of weeks where there was a smithing campaign a week for six weeks straight, I blew a lot of money to get swords lmao. Spent money for Juzumaru and Oodenta, and got them and Monoyoshi. Wish I could have gotten the rest too but realistically that was a pretty good turnout, and I was happy with it; I have Sengo now because of the last event, and hopefully Kogarasumaru and Koryuu will come back later. The other most daunting time I had was the first Osaka castle treasure hunt event I was around for; I played relentlessly to get Hakata, Gotou, Shinano, and Houchou to drop, those evil little demons. Was dead of boredom by the end but I got them!!! Didn’t have time to even think about attempting Mouri lmao but luckily I got him easily in the next one, when they amped up his drop rate massively on floor 99 (thank god).

14. Are you superstitious? (www)

Nah, at least in terms of doing things in the game; I do think my luck comes in waves though and goes back and forth between TR and other gacha games lol.

15. What made you join the TKRB fandom in the beginning? How about now?

Joined because of Katsugeki, stayed because of the musicals. :’) <3

16. What do you think of the current maps? (For example: which map is good for training/grinding, which maps do you get lost in the most, which map do you want to burn?)

Meh, I’ve beaten them all now and don’t return to them much; I usually train in events instead that give a lot better EXP than the regular maps. Era 6 was a nightmare early on of course, but now it’s fine. 7-1 through 7-3 can burn in hell for how difficult they are though lmao; 7-4 is surprisingly easy if you trigger the long path. The worst thing about all maps tbh is the dice feature and not being able to choose your own paths (usually); I get that there needed to be an extra gimmick, but it’s truly terrible and unfair sometimes, like when you get right near the boss node with no one in the red for once and then the dice sends you into a dead end. :’’’)))) 3-4 can burn in hell for the first time I had to go through it to get to continue fffffffffffff

17. Are there any game systems or improvements that you hope DMM will implement?

I really, really would love for them to let you be able to turn off the spotlight search animation when scouting pre-battle, which takes up a good portion of battle time and is especially annoying when the scouting fails or when the battle is too easy for your formation choice to really matter, but I don’t think they will. :’D Just... speed up the map moving/battle process in general; letting you click through the EXP screen is a good start, more please. ....I also think that the game requires waaaaaaaaaaaay too much EXP for kiwame swords to the point where I don’t think they expect you to actually level them up a lot and just use them as they are (which.... you can’t just do because the uchigatanas suck at low levels as kiwame, and I dread the day the ootachis and naginatas get kiwames...), because no one possibly has that much time, so I wish they’d nerf the amount needed some, but I know they’re not going to do that lol.

18. If DMM cooperates on an event with another game/anime/etc., what would you like to see?

Not really sure... I haven’t started Bungou to Alchemist yet, but I intend to, and I know it’s the same concept as TR except with famous writers (I know this cause I’m a fan of the anime that uses the same concept, Bungou Stray Dogs), so I wonder what that kind of historical crossover would be like.

19. Have you spent money playing TKRB? If so, how much? If not, do you plan to?

Ohhhhh yes, as I said above lmao; I’ve probably spent like... $300 in total for materials, ofudas, and sword space... *sweats* I’m gonna need to buy new sword space really soon again, at least.

20. Is there any merchandise that you would like to buy or see?

Please, Good Smile, make nendoroids of Hachisuka and Nagasone already. There’s other ones I’d love too but those two in particular.... pls... I’d also love anime versions of the musicals, which won’t happen, but I can dream. </3

21. Have you done any fanwork (fanfiction, fanart, etc.)? If so, what?

Not yet, I do plan to though... definitely draw some of the boys, and I have a few fanfic ideas.... I just need to force myself to do research of Japanese history/culture because I’m so nervous about handling this kind of thing and afraid I’ll botch it OTL; I know the Shinsengumi members etc are fictionalized versions of them, but stilllllll I’m nervoussssss because they’re real people lol.

22. What do you think you are like as a saniwa?

I don’t know.... I’d like to think that I’d try to spend time with all of them so no one is left out *looks nervously at how I use the same swords over and over in-game haha*, and make sure that the ones who need it the most get the comfort and love and reassurance they need. Plenty of them are still healing from their pasts, and need space as well as hugs, and I’d want them to make sure they feel like they have all of what they need from and feel comfortable around me. <3 Overall I’d just want to be with all of them a lot, because they’re not my servants; we’re all one big family and they need me just as much as I need them.

23. If the government asked you to choose a sword to kill yourself with in terms of emergency, who would you pick?

WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME THIS. I couldn’t make any of them do this to me, never; that’d be horrible. Unless one of them insisted on it, though I can’t fathom who. But yeah, I’d let them choose if it absolutely had to be one of them, but otherwise I’d just do it to myself in some other way. D’: thinking about this upsets me greatly

24. The government has asked you to write a report: how would you describe the situation in your citadel?

We’re all good here, chilling out with a nice round 70 swords; Hachisuka is currently away on his kiwame journey and I and Urashima are eagerly awaiting his return, as is Nagasone, even if he won’t admit it. <3

25. What do you think of the Retrograding Army?

I hate them; they force my poor boys into such anguished and painful situations (usually having to cause their previous masters’ deaths when the HRA tries to keep them alive OTL), and they’re ugly, and the yaris and those kunai things are a goddamn pain in my ass in-game. *shot* They serve their purpose well enough as nebulous enemies to fight and to give the swords their missions, but I really wish we could just get some lore for this world already; where does the HRA come from, and why do they want to change history? Why are the saniwa’s swords the only ones who can defeat them? Why do the kebishii fight both us AND them? There’s just so much I want to know that I don’t think we’ll ever get answers to. :/

26. Lastly, please say something about TKRB from the bottom of your heart!

I love this franchise so so much; I never thought such a superficial concept such as anthropomorphic sword pretty boys would ever be something I would fall in love with lmao, but here we are. I really have the musicals to thank for my love though; they really use TR’s concept to its greatest potential, with all of the emotion that comes with having to face your turbulent past and trying to overcome it and move on, and having to deal with losing people you loved and looked up to (the animes do this too though, I’m not discrediting them). All of the boys are one giant family, and they love each other and have fun with each other and bond with each other and grieve with and support one another; it’s just so wholesome and poignant. :’) <3 Not to mention that it’s finally made me wake tf and learn some Japanese history already, smh. Thank you so much for existing, Touken Ranbu; I look forward to much more time being moved by you and also tearing my hair out over trying to get every new sword! ^_^ <3

#tag meme #touken ranbu #in which I ramble about my emotions over sword boys for.... a very long post... lol #i love this stupid franchise #thank you for getting me into it Katsugeki even if you yourself turned out to be kinda meh lol

LMAO what is hilarious is that Kashima has 100% chance to get down with girls, but because she’s such a damn flirt--and the fact she’s certainly going to ignore her supposed girl for Hori attention--makes her just as useless as everyone else about love

Hello, I was just browsing the tags of some of my fave boys and I had to drop in and tell you that I am IN LOVE with how you draw Fatgum! He's so soft and good, and just aaaaAAAAAAAAAA! I want to draw more of him myself, but I have a lot of trouble with him (mostly probably because I'm not used to charas with his body type...) do you have any tips? Thanks and have a great day/night~!

Sob I wish I had tips to give you but I’m having difficulty myself lmao… but I’m so happy to hear you enjoy the way I draw him!! It makes me more eager to keep practicing and mastering his design, I want to be able to draw him as cute as Hori does… one day I’ll do it!!! ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧

But but but but I guess I could just recommend looking into getting comfortable drawing chubby and fat people and designs? I tend to gravitate towards heavier built characters overall design-wise and I feel that has made it at least a BIT easier for me to try and get used to Taishiro’s measurements and design… But even then it’s mostly my own guesses on how he’d look, after all, he hasn’t appeared much out of his hero costume in his fat form and the only casual pic we have of him from Horikoshi doesn’t give much to go on…

I just generally try to keep him fluffy and round all around! Good luck, such stylized designs such as his can be a bit hard to wrap around your finger but we’ll both get there!!

#asks #i like to go with hori's words about how gum is 'matryoshka shaped' in his fat form #it gives me a liiiiiittle idea of his measurements and how to translate them into my style #but overall his design can be a struggle to get around with #what with how TALL he is above everything........... but it's worth it #with the power of love I WILL conquer his design.............

[dropyourswordboysheadcanon-blog]

The shout out via swordboiis led me to you. Yay! Let's say a female Saniwa comes down with the stomach flu [lots of vomiting and general sick-to-stomach feeling] and they've been stuck in their tiny bathroom all night with no sleep because they don't trust themselves not to make a mess on their futon. Given this scenario, how do you think Kashuu, Mikazuki, Kogitsunemaru, Tonbokiri, Yagen, and Horikawa would react? I recently had a similar experience and imagining them was a coping mechanism.~

thank you for submitting your ask here anon-san! yeah, stomach flu can be a real b*tch. are you feeling okay now? I do hope so >

lmao, once again big thanks to swordboiis for the shout out! I’ll remain in the dark if not for them… :D

Kashuu Kiyomitsu

he heard from Yamatonokami that their late master passed away because of sickness

so hearing you getting sick like this really worries him

he’ll constantly remind you to get some rest more often

‘if you overworked yourself you might get sicker than this, master~’

and even though hearing and seeing a person vomiting is nauseous for him, he tried to stay besides you when your stomach flu is acting up again

Mikazuki Munechika

after he saw you vomiting one day, you explained what is stomach flu to him

since then, just like Kashuu, he always keeps an eye on you in case your stomach flu got worse

although he doesn’t know much of how to make you feel better, he’ll always hugs you and rubs your back after you’ve done vomiting

will rub your belly too when you ask him

heck, he even gave you his favorite teabags if that will make you feel better

‘I do hope that you will get better soon, master.’

Kogitsunemaru

absolutely clueless

like, he doesn’t even know what to do when you’re just sitting there, holding your tummy in pain

this poor kid is in panic, help him

he thought that you were going to die

eventually some of the more knowledgeable swords would explain about stomach flu to him

he’ll try his best to take care of you

‘master, do you want to eat this? you can eat all of my inarizushi if you want to’

Tonbokiri

for a big guy like him, he’s surprisingly gentle

he might not be a genius, but he’ll try to keep you dehydrated

when your stomach flu got worse, he’ll just sit down besides you and rub your back

also insists you to stop working for a while

‘please take care of your health more master’

Yagen Toushirou

HERE COMES THE CITADEL’S DOCTORRR

stomach flu?? don’t you worry, Dr. Yagen is here to make you better than ever

every once in an hour, he will check on you.

he’ll also arrange a good diet for your stomach problems

always ready with a cup full of water or tea and painkillers

‘don’t worry general. I’ll make sure you’ll recover from this’

Horikawa Kunihiro

he’s used from taking care of Kane-san, taking care of you will be a piece of cake

‘strict-mama’ mode activated

he’ll restrict you from overworking. he even forced you to stay in bed

will be 100 times more fussy on your food

‘no coffee for you master. and put the jalapeno chips down please’

be prepared to be miserable in the wrath of fussy mama Hori

well, he’s taking care of you, so it’s good right?
