Part 1 > Part 2 > Part 3 > Part 4

Summary: You, a meek little bunny hybrid, find family amongst six predator hybrids and their lovely human caretaker.

Warnings: mfm threesome, dom and sub dynamics, oral (f. and m. receiving), vaginal penetration, some nipple play and a boob-obsessed Tae, lots of sexual tension, teasing, cockblocking lol, grinding while making out, walking in on sexy times, y/n’s still grieving the loss of her old owner, brief mention of hybrid abuse and hunting

____

Two more weeks go by and you become determined to find a hobby, jealous of how passionate the other hybrids are with theirs. You’d never thought about having one much, you’d just hop around and keep your elderly caretaker company all day; you didn’t need a hobby when your days were consumed by taking care of her. But being here, you’ve started envying everyone else for having one: Hobi with his dancing, Namjoon and books, Yoongi’s interior design passion projects, Taehyung and art, Jungkook’s gaming, and Jimin’s ungodly obsession with everything related to Haikyuu!!. Out of everyone’s interests, the only one that really calls out to you is Taehyung’s. You’ve always admired the paintings your old caretaker hung on her walls, but you’d never thought of making anything yourself. That all changes once Taehyung shows you his paintings and asks if you want to give it a try. You’re reluctant at first, telling him you prefer to just watch him do his thing. So that’s exactly what you do, watch as he lays layer after layer of carefree strokes on a giant canvas. You’re amazed at his ability to make such decisive, big strokes—each adding more color and shapes. The whole process is just so pretty; you can’t help but pull your body closer in anticipation of his next move. That’s when he practically forces a paintbrush in your hand and gives you an encouraging look.

“I don’t want to ruin what you’ve created”

“This isn’t the type of painting you can ruin silly, the more you add the cooler and more abstract it looks. Don’t think, just paint.”

And so you comply, dipping the small flat brush into a bright crimson and imitating the brush strokes you watched him do. His little nods of approval give you confidence to go in with a second color, a vibrant teal, and make random patterns. “You’re a natural! Are you having fun?” You nod and giggle, adding more and more with him cheering you on. The end result has no distinguishable features or story, but it sure looks pretty. You’re absolutely overjoyed when he tells you that you can keep it.

“Hey, Y/N”

“Hm?”

“Can I try something?”

“What is it?”

His face breaks out into a big grin, eyebrows dancing up and down,

“Body paint.”

And that’s how you find yourself topless in front of the boxy-grinned wolf hybrid. You think he’s going to use your back for his canvas, but you quickly find out it’s your front he intends to color. “Why would I choose your back when I can paint these gorgeous tits.” The words make your skin break out in goosebumps.

“Do you do this with the other hybrids?”

“Only Jungkook. Been trying to get Yoongi to let me do it for months but no luck,” he pouts, “gotta say though, Jungkook’s chest is nice but definitely not this nice to look at.” You laugh shyly.

The first stroke of cold paint against your warm-blooded body has you shivering, feeling each bristle as Taehyung swipes across your stomach. He focuses on your stomach area for a good while, periodically taking a few steps back to see his work as a whole. You feel utterly exposed and on display, but the admiration in Taehyung’s eyes ease your self-consciousness. The first stroke on one of your breasts has your breath hitch. The paint works in circles around your already erect nipples, and Taehyung’s looking at your face the entire time.

“Tae” you mewl, “stop teasing”

He just laughs while continuing, doing the same to your other breast.

“I was surprised when I heard you were talking me up to Namjoon”

“Why is that?” He converses while focusing on his brush strokes.

“I mean, you’re just always teasing me. I didn’t think you’d like me.”

He chuckles, “I tease everyone Y/N, it’s never serious. I think you’re a nice addition around here.”

You let out a “wow” when he guides you to the mirror, letting you see his complete vision. It’s still your body, but it feels more than that—he took your body and turned it into a piece of art. You feel beautiful.

“Thank you, really thank you Tae.”

“Thank you for letting me do this.”

You’ve turned around to face him, letting him memorize his work one last time. To your surprise, his gaze doesn’t just linger on where the paint is, but also on your lips. Tentatively, he leans in closer, planting a soft peck on your lips, being careful not to get any paint on himself. You kiss him back.

He’s gentle the entire time he cleans you up. Big hands scrunch the damp washcloth and trace over every paint stroke he’s made. You’re hypnotized by the low jazz tune he hums. Everything feels dreamy and warm, which is why you’re too relaxed to register Jungkook and Namjoon entering the room. Both wolves look at the scene with shock, but Taehyung doesn’t stop his actions.

“Guys, Y/N let me paint on her! Ugh, why did you guys come after I’ve wiped it all off!”

The two wolves stand around awkwardly, avoiding looking at your topless figure while trying to seem unaffected. Namjoon can’t seem to stop coughing. Their demeanor has you acting awkward as well, your initial haze of indifference fading. That’s when you scramble to put your top on and hurriedly hop out of the room.

Once out of the room, you end up running right into a confused Seokjin, who just raises his eyebrows up but doesn’t pry. What he does do, however, is inform you that you are due for a good grooming session and promptly guides you to your shared room. Both of you smile when passing through the living room and seeing a curled up Yoongi on the tuxedo couch (you only know it’s a tuxedo couch because the cat hybrid told you so). When you are in the room, you make yourself comfortable on the bed while the man goes to grab a grooming kit. He works on your overgrown claws first, laser-focused on each nail as to not trim too much. He remembers how horrible he felt for days when he first trimmed Yoongi’s claws, accidentally goin overboard and causing a little bit of blood to gush out. Yoongi insisted he was alright, but Jin’s heart ached at the sight. Thankfully, he’s never made such a mistake again—which is why your nail care section goes by so smoothly. You feel spoiled when he massages hybrid claw oil into your cuticles, as it’s not a thing you’re used to. It’s when the man is gently cleaning your long, floppy ears with a cotton ball that the mood starts to change; you don’t know when the tears start coming, but your cheeks have rivers going down them before you can even process your emotions. Jin, startled, stops all motions of cleaning and faces you instead, body tensed in worry.

“Y/n, what’s wrong?! Did I do something wrong? Was it the nails? Or did I hurt your ears?!”

You quickly shake your head no, “Last time I was groomed was by my old caretaker, the day before she passed away. I remember how frail she was at the time, and how I knew she wasn’t going to last long.”

“That must’ve been really hard for you, bun.”

“It was. It was really hard. When I found her the next day…not breathing…it felt like I had lost my whole world. She was the only one who’d ever shown me love up to that point, y’know? And I didn’t even get to properly grieve her before her family got rid of me. It just really sucks.”

Seokjin offers you open arms, and you bury yourself into his comforting embrace. He doesn’t say much, just a few “it’s okay, let it out” every few minutes as you sob uncontrollably into his shoulders. Sadly, he’s had similar talks a lot before: all hybrids except Yoongi had come to him in distress. He rescued the dog hybrids by calling Hybrid Protective Services on his abusive neighbors, and the wolves were found running from hunters behind a hotel in one of his work trips. Even Yoongi, who had a previously loving home (before his caretaker decided to enlist and leave him to Jin), had serious abandonment issues early on. Suffice to say, he’s no stranger to these moments. As much as he wishes he could take all of the hybrids’ pain on himself, he knows that the only thing he can actually do is let you know he's there for you while you’re healing. Only when you’re all out of tears does he separate your body from his, leaving and coming back with a cup of hot cocoa and more blankets. He also does this thing where he exaggerates every word he says, in an attempt to elicit a laugh from you—it works.

When you finally leave the room again, Yoongi’s no longer in anywhere to be seen. His place on the couch is replaced by Jimin, who’s watching, yep, Haikyuu!! again. His tail wags furiously upon seeing you. The man is just about to give you a recap of everything on the screen when you manage to escape, giving him a hug and telling him you’ll listen later. You love Jimin’s company and you actually like the anime too, but you’re not always in a Haikyuu!! mood, which is a concept the man has yet to grasp. So you leave the living room to find the other dog-hybrid. Now, you’re usually a polite bun who has the sense to knock before entering, but you’ve made a nasty habit of walking right into the dog hybrids’ room. Besides, if they really wanted privacy then they would lock the door, right? Wrong. Because right as the door swings open, the first thing you is Yoongi’s bare ass propped up in the air, with a fully clothed Hoseok with his hand up in a mid-ass-smacking position. Your cheeks turn bright red. “We’re a little busy here, y/n” Hoseok muses, causing Yoongi to turn his head back and see you. If you thought your face was red, it’s nothing compared to the tomato-faced cat hybrid you see. Hoseok continues talking, in a frustratingly casual tone, “You’re welcome to join bun, but please close the door and leave if that’s not your intention.” You register just how wide you’ve swung the door open, and quickly shut it, with you still outside the room. Stunned and in a daze, you don’t even know how your feet take you back to the living room. Jimin, upon seeing your red face and the direction you just came back from, puts two and two together.

“You walked in on them, didn’t you” he bursts out in laughter. You throw a decorative pillow his way before taking a seat on the couch, this time much more inclined to watch Haikyuu!! if it means forgetting the embarrassment of what just happened. Unfortunately, this is the one time Jimin wants to talk about something other than Shōyō Hinata. “This is so funny, you should see your face right now!”

“Why didn’t you warn me?!”

“I didn’t know you were going to go there! If you didn’t notice, I was very immersed in the television. Anyways, what did you see? How freaky are they being right now? Or is it a tame, lovey dovey kind of day?”

“Jimin! I am not answering that!”

“Why not, are you afraid you’ll get turned on if you talk about it?” He punctuates with a suggestive wiggling of his brows, “Or are you already turned on?”

You cover your face, not giving an answer because you really do not to be further teased by the fact that you are very much turned on by what you saw. When you bring your hands down, you notice Jimin inching closer. The blonde man maneuvers his body in between your legs, now on top of you with desire evident on his face. He leans in for a kiss and you are more than willing to let him into your mouth; he tastes just as sweet as the last time the two of you kissed. Somewhere along the way, the make-out session evolves to groping and grinding, both of you eager to explore the other’s body. His soft cinnamon scent, his signature cherry chap-stick, the sensual way he moves on top of you, everything Jimin does has you getting lost in him. This exact power he has is the reason why you stop being cognizant of your surroundings—that is until Seokjin pulls you out of the moment altogether.

“YA! NOT ON MY SILK COUCH! I JUST GOT IT PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED YOU HOOLIGANS.”

Jimin falls on top you laughing, while you do your best to hide your guilty face with his body. Your hilariously outraged caretaker forces the two of you apart and orders you around to stop being horny and go prep the potatoes. You can’t help but notice Yoongi flinch and squirm in his seat throughout dinner, he does well to avoid your eyes when passing you the water pitcher. Hoseok, on the other hand, is not shying away from eye-contact in the slightest, throwing you a wink or smile whenever your eyes meet. You’re on dishwashing duty today, with Namjoon by your side in charge of drying. Part of you is glad he’s trying to make conversation while you do chores together, but the other part wishes he didn’t choose the conversation topic of you and Jimin earlier.

“So that was you and Jimin on the couch, right?”

He shatters your disillusion that no one heard Jin scolding the two of you—because of course everyone did; even without hybrid hearing, Jin’s yelling voice could be heard through every nook and cranny of the house. You pretend to be really focused on scrubbing a plate, trying to dodge the conversation. Namjoon’s not having that, though.

“Jin hyung cock-blocked you pretty hard,” he laughs before leaning in closer and dropping to a low whisper, “I can smell how wet you still are.”

You drop the plate at the statement, but the Alpha’s reflexes are quick to catch it and put it back in your grasp—his touch lingering a second too long on your hands. You weren’t dumb, you knew everyone but Seokjin could smell your arousal, but you thought everyone would follow common hybrid courtesy of not mentioning it. This is the last thing you expect to hear from an Alpha who’s only fully warmed up to you for like a week now.

“I still can’t get the image of this morning out of my head. Your tits on full display, with Taehyung wiping them down. You don’t know how crazy it drove me to see such a sight.”

Okay, if you were wet before, you are absolutely gushing through your panties right now—and Namjoon knows it. Even worse, his voice and look changes back to normal in a split second as he asks you to pass him the plate in your hand. He’s playing you. That bastard.

You bolt out of there the minute the last dish is washed, akin to how a bunny hybrid would run from a wolf in the wild, except your reasoning is entirely different in this moment. You find yourself once again in front of the dog hybrids’ door, this time making sure to knock. Once they give you the all clear, you open the door and find both of them freshly showered and drying their hair.

“We’ll come sleep in Jin hyung’s room right after we dry off, bun.” Jimin informs you, thinking that’s the reason you’re there, but you simply make your way onto their bed. The proximity lets both Hoseok and Jimin inhale the scent of your arousal, causing both men to stop their actions.

“Please take care of me, tired of being teased all day” your voice is meek and pouty, but your big doe eyes are determined.

The two men chuckle at your frustrated form but waste no time in complying. Hoseok strips you rather roughly this time, but your more than happy about it. Jimin undresses himself and unbuttons Hoseok’s shirt as well. Hoseok stops the younger man from undoing his pants, instead motioning him to get on his knees. Jimin eagerly kneels in front of his hyung, eyes begging for further instruction.

“That hungry for my cock, huh Chim?”

The boy nods.

“Another time puppy, I want you to taste our pretty bunny right now.”

Your thighs rub together at his words, and the dominant man soon picks you up and spreads you out on the bed, heat level with Jimin’s head. Your already embarrassingly wet, and Jimin dives right in. He laps up your juices diligently, humming into your heat and sending vibrations to the rest of your body. Hoseok holds Jimin’s hair the entire time, practically suffocating the man in your heat. He occasionally lets the other dog hybrid breathe, pulling him up for air by yanking his blonde locks, before shoving him back in. It’s not long before a blissful high washes over you, having you grip the bedsheets in pleasure.

Unlike last time, when everything stopped after your orgasm, both hybrids are still looking at you with lustful gazes right now. Hoseok’s cock is now fully out and erect, being stroked by his big hands.

“Can you take more? Want to give you my cock, bun.”

Luckily for everyone in this situation, you’re finally feeling your rabbit libido come back in full—meaning you can out last every hybrid in this house now.

“Give me everything, please!”

That’s all the confirmation he needs before positioning himself at your dripping entrance, nudging the man between your legs aside and ordering him to fill your mouth. Jimin’s cock slides into your throat before you have a chance to moan at Hoseok entering you. The younger man is gentler, while the older mercilessly fucks into your heat. As try as he might to last longer, Jimin completely loses it when you start making gargling noises around his length. It’s not long before his warm cum is being shot down your throat. Hoseok lasts a little longer, but not by much considering how hot you looked swallowing all of Jimin’s cum. He rubs your clit as his orgasm approaches, causing both of you to reach your highs within seconds of each other.

Hoseok cleans both of you, working extra delicately on Jimin as the younger boy has fallen asleep. He encourages you to come sleep in their room tonight, not wanting to leave Jimin alone, but you insist on going back—not wanting to leave Jin alone either. You exit the room with wobbly knees and a smile, tiptoeing back into Jin’s bed. It’s already well into the night, you realize upon hearing the man’s soft snores. You cuddle up next to him, finding peace within his lavender scent. It’s not long before you too doze off into a deep, comfortable slumber.

˚✧ ˚♡˚ ✧˚ abby anderson date alphabet (pt1)

synopsis: one date with abby for each letter of the alphabet, filled with pure fluff and drabbles about each one.

a/n: this has been so much fun to write omg, but it’s taken a lotttt longer than i’d expected, so i’m posting part one now while i continue to write part two. this part contains letters A-L !!! i hope everyone likes it :-)

A = arcade

abby isn’t much of a video game / arcade game person, but once she gets into it, she gets into it. she can’t even decide which machine to go to first; she wants to try everything. you can’t help but giggle as you watch her excitedly bounce from game to game, winning a surprisingly large amount of tickets. some friendly competition arises between the two of you, as she -of course- wants to win, but she’d never let that cause her to act mean to you in any way. after testing out each game, she decides that her favorite is the boxing one, the one where you simply punch the machine to see who can hit it the hardest. she plays this one over and over again, loving to impress you with her strength. after combining all of you tickets, she lets you pick out whichever shitty arcade prizes you want, her face lighting up as she watches you pick out different types of candy and plushies.

B = beach

abby simply doesn’t understand why you’re packing so much in your bag for just a simple day trip to the beach, but she doesn’t complain. arriving at the sandy beach, you can’t help but stare at your beautiful girlfriend, dressed in a tight white tank top and swimming trunks. her hair is tied up loosely in her signature braid, blowing carelessly in the wind. your day on the beach begins! abby ends up being glad that you overpacked, and she happily uses up the sunscreen you brought. even still, the sun tints her cheeks a soft pink color, making her freckles stand out even more. you kiss each one of them before carefully rubbing another blob of sunscreen onto her face. abby prefers to stay in the sand under the umbrella instead of going into the water, but she gladly inspects all the seashells you show her, marveling over your eye for finding the best ones. you stay at the beach all day, soaking up the warmth and the salt air. at the end of the day, you sit together on the blanket, sandy legs intertwined as you watch the sun set over the ocean.

C = camping

abby is a WHORE for camping. she eats up every minute of it, loving the outdoor time and a chance to show off her strength while also spending quality time with the love of her life. she makes sure to do everything for you; carrying all the equipment, setting up the tent, starting the fire… absolutely everything. even with your rebuttal, it’s always, “relax, baby. i’ve got this.” she’s quick to comfort you if you express any fears of being in the middle of the woods at night or getting eaten alive by a bear, and she holds you close to her as the sun goes down. the two of you sit on the ground by the fire and make s’mores, and abby keeps giggling about how sticky her hands are getting from the marshmallows. once the nighttime air becomes cooler, she wraps her jacket around you, making sure you never become cold. you stay up all night with her by the fire, listening to her corny jokes, having deep conversations about the world, and stuffing yourselves full with s’mores. when you finally decide to go to sleep, she pulls you into her sleeping bag, insisting that it’s simply “to keep warm.” she holds you tight as you drift off to sleep, wrapped in her strong arms and lulled to sleep by the gentle beating of her heart and the crickets chirping outside the tent.

D = dinner and dessert

after a loooong day of working, abby wants to treat you to a nice little surprise. she watches as you get all dolled up, literal heart eyes as you apply makeup and style your hair. once you’re both ready, she takes you to a fancy dinner at your favorite restaurant. “pick out whatever you want,” she tells you. you glance at the menu, not wanting to spend her money. “are you sure?” “you deserve it. you spoil me so much, let me do the same now.” she insists. you order your favorite food, and you enjoy your meal together in the romantic candlelight. it takes you forever to finish your meal since the two of you can’t stop talking, discussing things going on in your lives. after dinner, she takes you out for dessert, bringing you to an adorable cafe with so many options to choose from. abby orders a coffee and a slice of cake, and you get your favorite sweet treat. she gushes over how beautiful you look and won’t stop staring at you to eat her dessert. finally, you both finish, and abby insists on order another slice of cake togo so she can eat it later.

E = escape room

abby is so. good. at escape rooms. she’s incredibly smart and always solves them so quickly, but she pretends to be confused just so she can have more time with you on the date. “yeah, i really have no idea what to do here,” she’ll say, meanwhile she’s already two steps ahead of you. still, she loves watching you figure it out, the way your brow furrows as you think and the way you talk out your thoughts as they come to you. of course, there’s been a few instances where the two of you have gotten in trouble at an escape room for making out when you were supposed to be solving the puzzle, which you both laugh about any time you go back to one.

F = fair

abby is pretty nervous about a fair date. there’s huge crowds, long lines, and you can’t forget about her fear of heights. she absolutely refuses to go on any rides that leave the ground, but she’s more than happy to play rigged carnival games with you and try all the different types of fair food. you beg her to ride the ferris wheel with you so you can kiss her at the top of it, but she won’t give in. her compromise is to give you as many kisses as you want - as long as her feet don’t leave the ground. of course, you take her up on this, smothering her with kisses any chance you can get. she blushes as this draws the eye of a few people, but neither of you really care. abby is somehow a master at the fair games, especially the darts or shooting ones. she has no use for any of the prizes, so she gives them all to you. by the end of the day, your stomachs are full from excessive amounts of fried food, and abby’s hands are full of huge plushies that she won for you. “that wasn’t horrible, hmm?” you tease her. “absolutely terrible,” she replies sarcastically, earning a kiss on her nose before you leave the fair.

G = gym

it’s no secret that abby loves the gym. she’s so happy that you finally agreed to go with her, and she gets you the cutest athletic set to wear. you have no idea what half the machines in the gym are, but abby quickly gets you accustomed to everything. you end up having a pretty good time, racing abby for who can run the fastest mile (she wins. obviously) and who can lift the heaviest weights (again, she wins) the exercise is done in a fun way, and abby is soooo supportive. “hell yeah!” she’ll exclaim after you complete and exercise, and she makes sure to reward you with tons of kisses and praise. she’s become your own personal cheerleader, and you return the favor as she works out. you can’t help but stare at her muscles as she flexes them, earning playful smirks from your girl while she continues to show off her skills.

H = horror movies

abby looooves watching horror movies with you. not so much for the actual movie aspect, but mainly just because she loves to hold you during the really scary parts and run her hands through your hair as you bury your face into her chest. before the movie, she insists on preparing a plethora of snacks, because “that’s just part of the movie watching experience.” you finally get everything ready and you curl up in bed with abby, flicking off the lights and starting the movie. she pretends to not be scared, but you still catch her flinching at the jump scares and you can feel her heart beating faster. you snuggle close to her, loving the feeling of her protective arms around you as the movie goes on. you absentmindedly trace over her skin with your fingers while you watch, and abby occasionally leans down to kiss the top of your head. halfway through, the two of you become way more interested in making out than watching the movie, which leads to the entire last half of the movie being forgotten. as the credits begin to roll, abby pulls away from your lips, leaning over to check the time. “over already?” she grins, reconnecting her lips with yours once more.

I = ice skating

after dressing up in warm clothing (and a lot of persuasion) abby reluctantly follows you to the ice skating rink. abby does not like skating. however, more than that, she likes pleasing her girl, so she obliges. let’s just say that abby is not good at ice skating. of course, you’re not a pro at it, but even a small child could be better at skating than abby. her usual confidence disappears the second she steps onto the slippery ice, and she begs you to hold her hand and never leave her side. as you slowly glide over the ice, she grips your hand impossibly tight, her knuckles turning white and her hands becoming increasingly sweaty. she’s a mess, and of course, she’s incredibly embarrassed about this. you find it adorable to watch her slip around on the ice and insist on holding your hand, begging “no! no, please don’t let go!” but finally, she’s been struggling so much that you decide to just leave early, promising her that no, you’re not mad and no, she didn’t look stupid. on the way home you stop to get a sweet treat for a very defeated looking abby, who gladly accepts it.

J = jewelry making

as soon as you come up with the idea of a jewelry making date, you and abby storm the craft store for supplies, returning home with bags of beads, string, and charms. neither of you could decide on just one color or design, so you just bought everything. a little while later finds you both sprawled out on the carpet, carefully sliding plastic beads of all colors onto the string. abby lays on her stomach, propped up by her elbows. she would never ever admit it to her friends, but she’s actually really enjoying herself. some light music plays in the background, and your girl hums along softly, focused intently on figuring out the perfect color combination for her bracelet. you’ve been stringing together a combination of pinks and purples (as well as some heart and star charms) and abby seems to have decided on a light shade of blue. the two of you work mostly in silence, too focused to engage in conversation, but she’ll occasionally look up at you with pure adoration in her eyes, her mouth spread into a wide smile. after a long time of bracelet making, abby sits up, reaching out to you to drop a bracelet into your hand. “for you,” she grins as you examine the bracelet. it’s a chaotic mess of an entire rainbow of colors, but it’s the letter beads in the center that catch your attention: a-b-b-y. “you can wear it all the time, and i’ll always be with you,” she winks. “that was the corniest thing i’ve ever-“ you begin to say, but the sound of her laughter cuts you off. she takes the bracelet into her hands, sliding it carefully onto your wrist. in return, you gift abby with one of the bracelets you made, a soft pink one with glittery hearts. blushing profusely, abby puts it on, rotating her arm to admire it. “i love it. i love you,” she says, kissing the tip of your nose. abby wears your bracelet every day, never taking it off her wrist. anytime you see abby, you can guarantee that she’ll be wearing her pink beaded bracelet given to her by the one and only.

K = karaoke

after finding an old karaoke disc stored away in an abandoned building, abby is insistent upon trying it out with you. you’re pretty embarrassed to sing in front of her, but abby promises you that she won’t judge you. after lots of begging, you give in, and abby pops the dvd into the player and sits you down next to her on the couch. she’s gathered two hairbrushes to use as microphones, persistent on the idea that this has to be “as realistic as possible.” however, as soon as the dvd starts playing, you know you’re in for a mess. all of the songs are ancient, and you have no idea how any of them sound. this results in you and abby guessing the melodies, singing painfully out of tune while making up how you think the song would go. “ooh, i got this one!” she exclaims before breaking into the chorus of one song, tripping over her words and laughing more than actually singing. “yeah, you really do,” you tease her, even though you’re no better. all of your fears about singing in front of abby are gone, replaced by the sheer happiness of the two of you laughing and playing around together. even though neither of you know any of the old songs, you still play the dvd until its very end, dramatically improving to all the songs. by the time it’s done, you’re both sore from smiling so hard and worn out from all the laughing.

L = library

abby looooves reading. huge book nerd. she flies through novels, always wanting to talk to you about what she just read. one day, she takes you with her to the library to pick out some new books. as soon as you enter the building, she’s off, on her way to find her newest selection. you follow cluelessly behind her, pointing out books with interesting covers, or marveling over how long some of them are. “this one is so good,” she’ll say to you, pointing out a book on the shelf that you’re passing. you pick up a few books, reading the synopsis and flipping through the pages. abby continues to wind through the shelves, curiously hunting for a new book. after searching the entire library, her hands are full of books of different lengths. “okay, which one should i get?” she asks you. you look through each one, wanting to make the best decision. finally, you’ve made your pick, and abby heads to the counter to check it out. you follow behind her, gazing at your beautiful girlfriend. she looks so happy, so excited. she hasn’t stopped smiling since you set foot in the building, and you just love watching her do things that she loves.

Welcome to HYBE Company’s picnic! On a hot summer day with the sun shining brightly without a cloud to be seen, HYBE is having a picnic today with six HYBE groups to play games and have fun!

The six girls of LE SSERAFIM are now ready to go out of their waiting room. They are wearing red tops with different designs, Eden is wearing a red crop top with white cargo pants.

“It’s so hot.” Kazuha said fanning herself.

“Right, I want to drink ice Americano.” Yunjin added, a girl who loves drinking ice Americano.

“Okay, everyone get ready in one minute. As soon as you go out, there’s a bunch of cameras filming you, so please be conscious of your moves, the way you speak and how you interact with the other idols. So basically everything.” Their main manager once again reminded them to avoid causing trouble.

“Okay!…” the girls replied and get up off their seats.

Eden is holding a small white fan, she took deep and heavy breath before they went out of their waiting area. As soon as they went out to the filming area, they started greeting all of the staffs they past by with a smile on their faces as they were the first ones to arrive.

The camera caught Eden looking like an absolute princess while greeting everyone.

[ HYBE’s Princess in real life! Insert slow-mo walking ]

“Woah woah woah we get a tent.” Eden said full of energy, “this is perfect.” Sakura added on.

“I’m so nervous.” Eunchae said while clinging her arms to Eden.

“Oh, it’s Na Pd-nim! I’m finally seeing him, oh my gosh.” Eden says excitingly when she him not far from them. while covering her mouth with both of her hands. Eden is a huge fan of the Game Caterers and Na pd, She thinks he is funny and has enjoyed watching his shows.

“We’re the first ones.” Sakura said roaming her eyes around the area.

“Look at her.” Yunjin pointed at the amazed Eden looking around the filming area.

“eonni-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.” Eunchae laughed at the older girl and followed by the rest of the girls.

“What? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.” She laughed at herself too and tried to calm down herself because she’s getting excited.

As they reach their tent, Yunjin noticed a cooler in the back, “wait there’s a cooler behind the table.”

“Is there anything in it?” Eden asked putting her fan down and walking over to the cooler.

“Is it ice cream?” Eunchae asked walking over to the cooler too.

Yunjin opened the cooler, “huh?” Yunjin looks at Eden confused. “There’s only cold water in it.”

Eden shrugged, “Maybe it’s for one of the games.” She guessed.

“Let’s guess the game.” Yunjin and Chaewon said at the same time. Setting down on their seats, While the rest of the other girls were trying to guess the game, Eden saw of one of her closest friend in HYBE make his way to the filming area. She waved both of her hands, the other group did the same thing and greeted the rest of the girls.

“Long time no see.” Yeonjun said patting his friend’s shoulder as his group proceeded to their seats, and bid goodbye to her for the meantime.

The remaining group’s Seventeen, Enhypen, and Fromis_9 appear in the same order as Hwang Min Hyun comes out along with Seventeen, Baekho already at their tent, and Lee hyun comes out last as the three of them make a team.

Then the girls heard Na pd-nim on the loudspeaker, “Since you all are here before we start, we want you to do an entrance ceremony. Each team will enter one by one. You can take some time now to coordinate what you will be doing. Don’t worry! There is no pressure!” He said reassuringly.

Then the girls started planning.

“Do you think it’s Fearless?” Yunjin ask.

Eden nodded, “I’m sure of it is.”

“Then we should do the chores with some flare.” Chaewon suggested, they saw the other groups practicing.

“Ahh…this is a lot of pressure.” Sakura said as she stressed out, “You must bet your life on this!” Eunchae teased her,

“Guys, this isn’t a big deal; let’s just show them what we can do.” Eden said simply, but of course, this is a competition. So they just ignored her.

“But we gotta look cool here.” Chaewon argued.

“Ooo, Zuha, you can do a ballerina move.” Yunjin suggested.

Eden gave up trying to calm everyone down, joining the conversation. “What part of the song are we doing?” She asked.

“Eden eonni, you should be the center!” Kazuha said.

“Should I?” She asked the group, and they all agreed. If LE SSERAFIM wanted to look cool, Eden was the person to go to. Then the girls finished the final details of their “performance.”

“Alright, is everyone ready?” Na pd asks, all of the groups replied yes.

“First of all, the first team…Fromis_9!” Na pd said as everyone clapped and cheered as the girls began with the move they practiced in the forest.

“Wooooahhh!!!” Eden cheered the loudest as she stood up from her seat after their performance was complete, making the staff behind them and the girls laugh.

Next were TOMORROW X TOGETHER ( txt ) as they remained seated when their song good boy gone bad started playing, they got up to pushed the tables down and began running to the field doing all of types of things.

“Woahhhh!” Eden and Yunjin said at the same time covering their mouth with their hands. Next were Enhypen as they started stepping forward a few steps until blessed-cursed started to play and began free styling to the middle. “Wooo!” Eden cheered them on along with members of Seventeen and TXT. Enhypen finished their dance everyone clapped. As Jay of Enhypen started arguing with TXT as Seventeen’s song began playing.

“Why are we going after them?” Chaewon said, “What do we do?” Eunchae said nervously too.

Seventeen began their entrance after a few deep breaths while bringing fans along with them, one big, and the rest small, “woooo!” Eden cheered them on while putting her hands beside her mouth to make her sound louder while the groups that have already went cheered them on too. As their new song hot started to play, the members started fanning one member as the group’s next song played and Eden started clapping along with them.

“This is more nerve racking than our debut!” Kazuha said with her hand on her chest to calm down her breathing.

The rest of LE SSERAFIM agreed, except for Eden, sitting there calmly and smiling.

“Let’s just have fun, okay?” Eden said with a smile, “I’m sure they will like it.” She added hopefully. Eden felt a little pressure being the center but didn’t want the girls to know about it.

Now it was LE SSERAFIM’s turn.

“Leader-nim hold the banner.” Eden said suggested to Chaewon, and she nodded.

“Let me remind you again, this is just a picnic.” Na pd said.

“That doesn’t help our nerves!” Eden yelled at the Pd and sent him a glare making everyone laughed.

Eden stood looking confident as she stood in between Chaewon and Sakura, the staff called out their group’s name. Eden’s look changed almost immediately. As their debut track began to play, they started to walk confidently especially Eden. Eden stopped at the whole line, once the music stopped and their group name was heard. Eden did a one-legged back tuck to a full, followed Kazuha showing off her flexibility as all the other groups clapped and yelled in shocked. The girls finished it off with their dance to fearless with Eden in the middle.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER ( txt )

Soobin: wow, Eden is really good!

Yeonjun: Wooo! Go Eden!!!

Hueingkai, Beomgyu, and Taehyun yelled: wowww you are awesome!!!

FROMIS_9

Jisun and Seoyeon cheered loudly for them.

“Wow they are really good!” Nagyung said with a surprised face.

“Eden, she’s so pretty and cool!” Hayoung said clapping.

“Her confidence is on other level! It’s so different from a second ago. She’s good!” Said the leader of the group, Saerom.

Jiwon couldn’t stop staring at her, and blushed at her beauty.

Jiheon thought that Eden was really cool.

. ° ∅    ° — { The rest of the idols reacted pretty much the same in this video }

After LE SSERAFIM did their entrance, they introduced themselves. “Hello, we are LE SSERAFIM-ibnida!” The other groups clapped for them.

“How’s the promotion going so far?” Na pd asked the six girls.

“It’s fun. We really are having fun because we got to see our fans every time we perform, and hear their cheer.” Chaewon answered with sincere.

“Is this your first full day shoot of variety show—wait ㅋㅋㅋㅋ-Eden-ssi, why are you looking at me like that?” Na pd asked which made everyone’s attention to Eden.

“She’s been smiling so widely since she got here, and she’s too focused on me, I feel so pressured.” Na pd said, Eden just laughed while shaking her head.

“She’s just a fan, Pd-nim. She really likes this show so much.” Sakura explained for Eden.

“Ani~I’m a fan of yours. I’m not a celebrity.” Na pd is now getting embarrassed with his ears getting red.

“You are a celebrity to me.” Eden teasingly throw a little wink at him but end up laughing at herself too.

On the other hand, the other idols are being whipped by Eden. They have been seeing Eden’s reaction since they stopped in the middle and laughing.

“She’s so cute.” Mingyu said while laughing softly.

“She really looked so excited, look at her eyes.” Dino said laughing, pointing at her.

“We heard that LE SSERAFIM are full of talented people-”

“We have three former members of Izone, Eden, Sakura and Chaewon who have debuted for the second time. Kazuha was a ballerina. Yunjin was an opera singer and Eunchae memorized your debut song in 10 minutes.”

[ HYBE really knows how to collect talent! ]

“Wow…”

“They are indeed a talented group.”

“Legends.”

What Na pd said received a couple of compliments not just from the other artists but also from the staff in front of the of girls which made them shy a little bit.

“Is that right?” Na pd asked them.

“Nae!” The girls answered and giggled.

“Wow…we are really looking forward to you today. Let’s have fun!” They all clapped again and now the girls move to the side.

As the highlight of it all, the TT team began walking when love me by Nu’est began playing holding up finger hearts, and then holding up a finger in the air when Lee hyun’s song played.

“Wow…really looks like an…” Eden began, unsure of how to continue her sentence without sounding too mean but the editors took the words right out of her mouth.

[ like an election campaign ]

“Stop the song! Stop the song please!” Lee Hyun sounded desperate. He won’t get a break today will he, Eden thought.

The idols, however, continued their swaying, now opting to close their eyes and really basking in the beauty that is Lee Hyun’s voice.

The girls cheered, holding in their giggles at how uncomfortable the trio looked in the middle of all of them.

“Now the HYBE picnic has officially begun!”

Everyone cheered loudly.

“That was the 95% of the opening ceremony. We only have 5% left…!”

Eden tilted her head to the right, “That wasn’t it?” She whispered to Kazuha, who shrugged her shoulders.

“eonni, just smile and nod.” She whispered back and Eden held back a laugh.

“For the opening address, he claims that he provided the foundation, if SM has Kangta, then HYBE has Lee Hyun…” Na pd announced.

They laughed in delight as they listened to Lee Hyun’s very inspiring address, many falling to their knees from the atmosphere.

“Let’s go!”

Eden watched suspiciously as the staff members rolled coolers to the middle of the field, “What is that?!”

“You might end up breaking your band.” Na pd said, and the first episode of HYBE x The Game Caterers came to its end.

got any coach Jenkins hc? i feel like we dont know much about him... just his relationship with the vks!

Someone does a survey to find out who the vk's favorite teacher is. The most common answer is Coach Jenkins (some from kids who never went to Auradon Prep). Not to say he's every vk's favorite. Just that not many (or any I can really think of) who'd not like him.

He takes his teams out for victory pizza.

He is one of the few people who can shut the heroes, villains, and sidekicks up with a single look (one that rivals Lady Tremaine's).

He is good with kids.

I read a fic once where Jay met his family. So I headcanon that Coach Jenkins has a husband and at least one kid.

Ever wonder why we never see Mr. Deley after D1? It's because Coach Jenkins chewed him out when he found out about the mess with Evie (he also had Chad run laps at every practice until the season was over afterwards. Probably because he saw Lonnie's school of secrets web series not long before that).

I feel like he might have been abused/neglected as a kid or knew someone who was because he handled Jay (and Carlos) perfectly after their first tourney practice.

He loves his job and had a really good Coach of his own when he was younger who inspired him.

Coach Jenkins used to be apart of Auradon's big brother program.

He also once used to have a diabetic player on the tourney and fencing team so now he carries around a cooler with drinks and snacks at every practice and game.

His favorite colors are ironically the school colors.

He went to Auradon Prep when he was a teenager.

Also he's the jousting club's teacher and has known Ben since he was four because of that.

Coach Jenkins wasn't a perfect teenager (no one is, be honest. Everyone gets up to mischief) but he was always a good person. And unlike most Auradon adults we see, he's not a hypocrite and therefore isn't overly harsh to the kids when they fuck up.

He tries not to be judgemental when the adults fuck up but well. It can be hard sometimes.

He has a ton of baseball caps.

He was on vacation in d2.

He had a family emergency in d3.

Coach Jenkins remains in contact with many of his former students (especially Jay and Carlos).

He is friends and rivals with Tiger Lily (he went to high school with her).

He was a total hippie in highschool.

Can't dance at all.

Just wants absolutely all of his students to be happy and well adjusted adults, even ones like Mal and Evie that he doesn't interact with often.

Coach Jenkins used to have long hair.

His full name is Reese Alexander Jenkins (after his actor, Reese Alexander).

Man has a stress ball and lots of fidget/stress toys because he has a stressful job and his coworkers and a few of the parents certainly do not help that, thank you very much.

Also he was friends with Audrey Ramirez (Diego de Vil's mother and Milo Thatch's friend) too.

He's a bit older than Tiger Lily (in his mid 30s to early 40s).

Coach Jenkins has played videos games with the boys before.

Sometimes he has to stop himself from smacking his coworkers/the parents of the kids because they just make so many stupid decisions that it frustrates him. But he's excellent at self control so he's never done it.

He's a fun loving guy, like Jay, and way more laid back than his coworkers. But he doesn't play favorites with the kids and doesn't let them get away with everything because he knows that that will cause more problems than it will fix.

That's all that I can think of for now, sorry. Feel free to add!

Hey! I love your art so much 💖 I wanted to ask what program you use for 3D modelling?

aw thank you!! :3

and to answer your question i’m going to warn you this is going to be kinda long because i’m gonna use this post as an excuse to show my 3D models that aren’t awful (sorry lol).

i actually use two different programs, both for different purposes, but you don’t need to get both, it really depends on which kind of modeling you want to do.

1) the first is called Nomad Sculpt on the iPad, you do have to pay for it unfortunately but it’s definitely one of the best modeling apps for the iPad. i know Blender is free but my computer is really old and doesn’t run the program very well, and at this point i’ve already gotten used to nomad sculpt.

anyway tho, i use it for art-related things like the obvious 3D models, but recently i’ve been playing around with just making scenes to use as references for my drawings. they’re not anything impressive, most of the time i actually use it to make little figurines to print and turn into earrings/little friends that sit in my room just for fun.

i’m gonna show this first bc they look cooler once they’re printed and colored (also you can tell i printed mini crowley and aziraphale when my sonadow hyperfixation started bc i never actually painted crowley) (he’s just kinda sitting there oops).

the little red guys are actually my favorite bugs (goliath beetles), i made them about a year ago but i still wear them like every day.

and here’s what they look like in the app, it’s a little intimidating but once you get used to it it’s actually kinda fun just playing around and seeing what you can do.

2) the second program i use is Shapr3D (also for the iPad, but i think they made an update where you can run it on windows/mac). you also have to pay for this as a subscription which sucks, i’m only able to use it since the engineering program i’m in pays for it.

Shapr3D is one of the many CAD software programs out there, but it’s nice bc it’s very beginner friendly and very easy to use. CAD is mainly for architecture/engineering but i honestly think more 3D artists should give it a try. it’s really nice once you get the hang of it and (i’m probably biased bc i’m a student) i honestly prefer it over just normal modeling software because i feel like you can be a lot more creative with it.

right now for my engineering class, our semester final is to design and present something that’s functional, and we can either explain the math behind it or just 3D print it and demonstrate how it works, and i’m making a functional mini model of “the rack” trap from Saw III (i’m not psychotic i swear i’ve just had a Saw hyperfixation for 5 years).

i’m definitely gonna post it when it’s finished just bc i’m already excited with how it’s turning out, but for now here’s a couple at-home projects i’ve done:

(above) i have a bunch of wet liners and i designed a stackable holder thingy with bolts between the shelves and a little cute star screw to fasten it at the top.

(above) i also made a few rotating brush holders at home (bc the ones that actually rotate are like $40 for some reason) by buying a set of small sphere bearings at home depot for like $5 (that’s what those little metal things are inside the third one, i took it apart bc i don’t know how to put a video and a picture in the same post) (just pretend they’re spinning rn).

anyway that’s all!! if you actually read this whole thing i love you so much bc engineering and design is one of my special interests so thanks for letting me tell you about the silly things i’ve made :3

#asks #3d art #3d model #engineering #infodump #special interest #ermmmmm not sure what else to tag #this was just a really long post lol #bugs #good omens #autism creature

going to the beach with the genshin boys!

included characters: Diluc, Kaeya, Childe, Zhongli might do a second part for Heizou, Ayato, Albedo, and Itto? if anyone has specific characters they want, please request! rating: sfw warnings: alcohol mention in Kaeya’s, gn reader!

Diluc:

he’s more of a resort or private beach kinda guy versus an overly crowded beach with a ton of screaming children and drunk spring breakers. If you do go to a crowded public beach, expect to carry your towel, snacks, and umbrella for a good 20 minutes while he walks you all over the beach looking for the most secluded area to set up camp.

He won’t let you do anything without first putting on sunscreen, and even then he frowns when you want to leave the shaded area he’s set up. The sun is bad, what if you get too hot and faint?

He brings a cooler full of water and drinks with electrolytes because he’s not taking any chances on either of you getting dehydrated and sick from this.

He’s more willing to take a walk down the shore or play in the water with you once the sun has gone done a bit and the majority of the families have left. He likes watching the waves or the sunset with you, and before it gets too dark, he will agree to go swimming with you. (Not too far from the shore though, he doesn’t want you getting swept away)

Complains afterwards about the sand that gets everywhere and promises you that next time, he’ll take you to a better beach where kids don’t run up and excitedly shout, “Ariel??” at him while he’s just sitting there drinking his grape juice.

No, he’s not playing mermaids with the group of kids. No he’s not singing. Yes, he’s making you both pack up and move your stuff even farther away now.

Kaeya:

He likes to go to piers or beaches that are having some kind of event! If you go to a boardwalk type place, he’ll want to buy silly souvenirs or win you a prize at a cheap little carnival game. He does cheat! and he won’t tell you how!

He is the type to sneak alcohol in. Like, water bottle full of vodka or he’s repackaging a capri sun full of margarita. His ice pops are filled with alcohol and some juice to maintain a believable color. He forgets to bring food and you either have to fill that role or expect him to be tipsy and starving before the date is over.

He remembers sunscreen and makes a big deal about making sure to get every part of you covered, like bro we’re in public, keep your hands where I can see them.

He likes collecting shells with you and telling you little (probably made up) stories about pirates and treasure. You can join in and add details, pretend you believe him, pretend you know the fake story he’s making up, etc, and it becomes a game. He’ll find some random ring in the sand and be like, oh! we found part of the pirate’s treasure! and then you guys have to dig around in the sand for a while looking for more treasure.

He doesn’t expect to have so much fun doing the silly, innocent things, but he ends up really liking all the digging in the sand for trash and playing pretend. He likes that it makes you laugh, that he makes you laugh.

Afterwards you guys pick up something to eat and sit around with the sun setting and the salt water drying on your skin and he smiles a little softer at you. He slides the ring he found at the beach on your finger and says it’s only right he keeps his treasures together.

Childe:

He likes the typical things like surfing or playing volleyball on the beach, and if you’re willing to join him, he’s excited! He likes the competition on who can surf the best wave or who can win in volleyball or whatever. If you don’t want to do these things, he’s fine with it too. He can either join some others or do his own thing for a bit while you relax.

Sports and competition aren’t his only preferences, though. He likes collecting shells, a lot of shells, so he can bring them to his siblings as gifts or just store in a little jar as a memory of the time he’s spending with you! He will use them also to build a sandcastle with you, of which he proclaims you both to be the rulers of. 50/50 whether he feels an attachment to your new kingdom and is sad to leave it or if he’s going to kick the shit out of it and laugh maniacally.

He also Will be the “how big of a hole can I dig before I have to leave the beach?” kind of guy. The hole will be huge, he will fill the bottom of it with water and it ends up as a weird little sandy hot tub that he’s so proud of. He abandons it to a group of kids who are interested, even if he’s a little sad that he’s lost his big sand pit.

He’ll love going swimming, or even just splashing around in the water, or jumping over waves, etc just normal things you’d do at the beach!

He’s a sucker for the people who drive their little carts by with ice cream or popsicles and ends up buying all the kids whatever they want because he can’t say no to them.

He forgets sunscreen and then he’s all sunburnt and red the next day and you have to cover him in aloe vera while he looks pitiful and sad. Anyway, 

Zhongli:

He’s also not the biggest fan of the super crowded beaches but less because of the people and more because of the effect so many people have on the beach. He gets very thoughtful and sad about the litter and pollution in the water

He still likes to talk down the shore with you. He’ll hold your hand until he sees some trash and then he’ll pick it up, then he’ll pick something else up, then he’s holding random bottle caps and straws in both hands until he can find a trash/recycling bin to toss them into.

Sitting under your umbrella and reading or just watching the waves/clouds/sunset/etc is a good time for him. He’ll tell you about past experiences/stories at the beach or on the water, about the history of this area, about the animals that live there, etc. He’s the type to know where the sea turtle babies are and gently redirects people away from the area to not disturb them. He’s just on this beach to be a Lorax to be honest.

He will happily go swimming with you, or he doesn’t mind sailing around or something. He likes the more calming, peaceful stuff! The beach makes him a little mournful and he gets lost in a thought a lot, so be patient. He has a lot he’s willing to say if you listen.

He doesn’t remember to bring food or money for food so after you’ve spent a full day of getting sand between your toes and crouching over little puddles of water with teeny crabs and stuff in them, you have to grab something to eat at a nearby cafe. You’ll politely sit outside as to not track in sand and sea water, but it’s a nice dinner regardless!

Also, Zhongli standing on the shore with the sun setting and casting a pretty orange glow over him and the waves just gently crashing around him? come on i’m folding

do you have any tips on drawing backgrounds. I struggle with them so much and can’t always make them cohesive with the drawing yk

Oh man, yeah. I do indeed know, all too well U_U Backgrounds are a STRUGGLE

Here are some things I’ve picked up, that have helped make them a little less difficult (feel free to take what you think might be helpful and then scrap the rest!):

1. Map out your Composition, Tones and Colors in a Rough Thumbnail

-I think the main thing that helps me, is planning. If you’re gonna do a background, don’t think of it as an after thought. I find it’s helpful to plan out the background at the same time you’re planning the character pose, rather that just slapping in a background, once the character is already finished. It’s like a little dance, making the environment work to accommodate the character while simultaneously making the character work to accommodate the BG.

-I usually do a small thumbnail and color key before I actually go into the drawing itself

-I like to think of the thumbnail like a little roadmap that I can always refer back to when I’m stuck. It's something that is easy to experiment with and will help me keep the big picture in mind, while working, rather than fussing over all of the small details.

-you can plan how you might want to use light and other elements of the bg to frame important things, or point and lead your eye to the focal point, or divide up the frame.

When I’m working on the actual drawing, I’ll always keep my thumbnail visible off in the corner of my workspace, just as a reminder of where I want to go with the piece, and to keep it available to color pick from, when I want to.

2. Try Sticking to 1 or 2 Dominant Colors and try not to stray too far, unless it’s an intentional accent

I usually choose 1-2 main colors and then paint bucket fill the canvas with those colors as a base, before I even start on the "cleaned up" linework. Then when I start painting, for real, I choose my colors based off how warm or cold they are, compared to the main color(s).

So say, for example, I want the dominating color of the illustration to be red, if I’m coloring an apple (that is naturally red) I would keep it the same hue, but might change the tone or saturation. However, if I’m painting a carrot (that would naturally be orange) I might just shift the hue to be a warmer red, rather than a full blown orange. Conversely, if I wanted to paint a naturally blue sky, I would shift the hue from red to be a bit colder, maybe more of a purple, but not necessarily a true blue.

*sometimes the saturation can mess around with a perceived color as well, (like how a desaturated yellow, will often look green), so I find there’s a lot of trial and error and messing around to be done with color, which I guess is half of the fun :P

(obviously this isn’t the only way to approach color, but I find it helpful for reigning myself in and keeping things a little more cohesive)

3. Add Depth

-Think of your environment as a 3D space with overlapping elements. Consider what your foreground, midground and background elements might be, to give depth to the drawing.

The further away something is, the less details the human eye can make out, and atmosphere will create a sort of hazy look to things that are set far away. So to mimic this effect for things that you want to recede into the distance, you can use less saturated colors, less contrast, do less detail, less line work (maybe even go lineless) and use slightly cooler colors. Maybe even add a little gaussian blur if it looks good. Conversely, for things you want push forward, just do the opposite (higher contrast, higher saturation, heavier line, more detail ect.)

4a. Study and Play with Lighting

I think lighting can be a big factor in helping make a character feel like they fit and belong in their environment. Study how light works and interacts with the world and think about how it might effect every element of your environment. How does it break apart when it’s going through something translucent? Is it going to cast harsh or soft shadows? Are there multiple light sources? Are they different colors? different intensities? Is the light source visible or not? Is it a controlled beam of light, like a laser, or more open, like the sun?

4b. Make use of Reflected Light and Color

So, when light hits an object, that is near another object, some of it’s color can be reflected onto the nearby object, if the angle is right. So for reflected light, I usually add a clipping mask layer to the affected object and add a gradient coming from the first object, using a color that has be color picked from the first object. Then I’ll turn down the opacity to my liking.

^(Ok, this first example of reflected light is super subtle on Sirius’s jacket, but it’s a little clearer to see the reflected light from the tub reflecting onto Sirius’s face and Remus’s arms, in the second example)

5. Add a Little Bit of *Spice*

If by the end of my coloring, I still want to do some tweaking, these are my general go to’s:

-Edit with filters and/or gradients. If you’re working digitally, play around with blending modes. You can make a new layer, fill it with a color or a gradient, then see what different blending modes and levels of opacities will do to it.

-Color your lines so that the black isn’t so harsh against the other colors in the scene. Sometimes I like to go completely lineless in some areas, if it's an area blown out by light, or is maybe pulling your attention away from the focal point

-You could add a little bit of grain and noise (to do this in photoshop, make a new layer, fill it with a grey colour (or experiment with other colours) then go to filter>noise>add noise>ok and turndown the fill and maybe change the blending mode)

-Adjust the levels, if you’re still not fully satisfied with the contrast, you can adjust the levels (ctrl +L in photoshop)

-Adjust the Color balance if you're not fully satisfied with the saturation and colors (ctrl+ B in photoshop)  

Ok, gosh, there’s so much, but I think I’ve rambled on long enough… hope this helps and wasn't too obvious or convoluted!

Good luck!!

Whitney did something that pissed me off in my save so I'm here to rant about a thought to you because you're the first person that comes to mind when I think of a Whitney blog. Also, you're cool and the only person I sent asks to Annoying Whitney sounds like so much fun, especially when he isn't physically there to stop you Imagine PC just texting him "I heard that the average life expectancy of a rat is 2 years... I'm gonna miss you :(" Can he come over and beat the shit out of me? Nope. Not with Bailey around, that's what. Or maybe I'm somewhere secret like the forest. What's he gonna do, hunt me down? The only thing he can do is curse me out or say something snarky back, but emotional damage can only do so much Okay but then I'm not showing up to school afterward, that's a death wish. Do with this thought as you please Assher - Degenerate anon :)

Guys, get the fuck out of the way, move along as I’ve been officially titled as THE Whitney blog. That’s right. Degenerate anon said so and degenerate anon is the only one to speak the truth therefore it is a fact. I am THE cool guy with THE Whitney blog, the one degenerate anon only sends asks to. Could I not get any cooler? (Stfu Asher). Also, did you just call me Assher on purpose just to piss me off?

If you want a way to mess with Whitney, this is the way to go seriously. They’re going to be absolutely pissed with you, audacity to insult them through texts or a screen, wether it be messages addressed to them about how their hair color looks like piss, voicemails where you call them every name in the book or handwritten notes left on their beat up locker. Whitney will be seething at the end of it all, red in the face and needing to find you immediately so they can punch your fucking teeth in.

Where the hell are you getting the sheer confidence to mess with the bully, even more so if it’s in front of their friends. Let’s say, they get another voice mail left from you, roll of their eyes and grumbling to themselves as they idly press delete except their stupid thumb taps on play instead. Just you full on roasting them on speaker phone, their cronies loud bickering and chattering halting to a stop as they recognize your voice. Whitney’s victim, the one they shove into trash bins for fun in the hallway, jabbing the tip of their pencil in your arm just to tick you off. Here you are, your discernable voice degrading them, humiliating them for everyone to hear.

If there’s one thing Whitney fucking hates, it’s their reputation being tarnished and you just happen to be the damn source of it. Will try to track you down, back pressed against the bricked wall of the school gates, sketchy alleyways or hell even the own orphanage just to find you. But, no. Somehow, you’re nowhere to be found like you’ve just upped and left, spat right in their face and fucking left!

The delinquent is dumbfounded. Furious, but dumbfounded.

Fucking bitch.

Once they get their hands on you, they’re going to turn your life into a living hell.

#this is fucking funny #I like some good old whitney slandering #as a former whitney hater #I say that but I still do hate them quite a bit at times #that fucking hatred resurfacing in certain scenes #but I can’t bring myself to fully hate them #not after falling down the whitney pipeline #and their soft scenes #cmon #softney is best whitney #dol #degrees of lewdity #whitney the bully #dol whitney #whitney dol #degenerate anon #has come #asher gets asks

Ok ok last one anyone you want with hair that shows their emotions because their face literally shows NO expression except when they feel EXTREME emotions. Like they get flustered and start frabbing their hair and hiding their face and they have a monotone voice

The Leech Twins & Idia with S/O whose hair shows their emotions as they’re facially expressionless(unless feeling very EXTREME emotions)

Header’s art via Twisted Wonderland Official Game {edit by me}

{headcanons/scenarios}

Gender Neutral! S/O

Note// I hope I did wrote what you exactly wanted to request,,, nwn;;;

___

I surprisingly have the mood to write for Idia in this one Hehe-

He is pretty much the most anxious looking one out of the both of you, and probably lets you do the talking-

He honestly wouldn’t make fun of you since he’s pretty similar; his hair react a according to what he feels but he’s pretty expressive with his face (yet he tends to make questionable expressions we love so much about hhh-)

Though, he pretty much finds your hair cooler than his, favoring you more than himself in the process- :’)

He would notably not do eye to eye conversations with you even if he’s not playing a video game

He nearly 24/7 looks at your hair nervously or your forehead, pretty much anxious to say something wrong to you so he wants to know what you’re actually feeling as face-to-face conversations don’t help at all with your unchanging facial expression.

He pretty much wouldn’t complain about it, he’s alright if that makes you who you actually are. :3

Usually gets concerned whenever you try to hide your face with your hair when you get embarrassed, wondering if he said or did something uncomfortable to you,,, x’3

In the rare times you get to finally smile at him, that’s when it’s Idia’s turn to get his hair turn pink….-

___

Floyd thought you were dull at first impression, until he starts seeing your hair moving and changing colors-

He gets super curious about it yet finds it cool, that he starts to linger around whenever bumping into you or passing by-

“Ah? Don’t hide your cute face, Shrimpy~! Let me look at it~”

Sorry, he’s a big tease, as he discovered that getting a reaction out of you turns out to be a fun game for him once he starts learning a little more about your hair’s interesting abilities.

Probably would immediately start using a piece of your locks to play it as a mustache whenever it changes into a color after humoring you,,,, X’D

Frequently giggling whenever your hair moves, flinches, or curls when you react to whatever shenanigan/teasing he does.

If you ever try to put a hood or a hat on, Floyd will just give you a goofy grin, making you know that he’ll grab the headwear off of your head and make you chase him for it- 😅

Sometimes wishes to try harder to make you smile or even laugh actually- even wondering about strange thoughts like if your hair can even laugh or make noises-

___

Like Floyd, he thought you were merely ordinary at first.

Then he honestly thinks you’re pretty impressive by how your voice and tone are unreadable, yet your hair says otherwise…-

He internally finds it adorable tho- UvU

At least he gets to read your emotions and tell what things do you like and what things do you dislike,,,-

Very observant with you, so hope you don’t feel uncomfortable feeling eyes wondering on your hair frequently when he’s around either because he feels the need to get to know your tastes, or come up with ways to surprise you either in a bad or good way-

Big tease #2-

Likes to twirl your hair gently, even kiss it lovingly to tease you further and get a reaction out of you,,,,- 🤭

Few weeks after observing you like a lowkey madman, he may or may not pretty much know few general things that make you express in different reactions.

He eventually finds himself making the goal of making you cry, or even smile everyday with an extreme emotion for real, rather than seeing that stoic look constantly.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD Part 1: Sonic CD is sponsored by Marty McFly

Oh boy, now we’re getting into some spicy territory!

My history with CD is...complicated

Unlike the other Classic titles, while I was exposed to this one at around that same time thanks to the Sonic Gems Collection, I never played it quite as much due to...reasons that will become quite clear in future parts. It’s only with the release of the Whitehead version years ago that I truly dived into this game

So let’s start with the best and most obvious parts

Firstly: the opening and closing cinematics are literally some of my favorite pieces of animation ever. (Well the uncompressed versions anyway, ‘cause the Sega CD was what it was). Not just because they’re animated beautifully but because they feature what is, to me, the gold standard of Sonic’s body language.

This Sonic is quick, adventurous and fun loving when he’s zooming around, but dead serious and determined once he notices Eggman’s effect on Little Planet

But most of all: he’s cool. He’s effortlessly cool in the way he runs around and toys with badniks, while at the same time still retaining a cutesy side to him to remind you that this is still a light hearted and fun loving cartoon character

While I’m not one of those people who thinks that Sonic should never talk (specifically Classic), there is a case to be made on how in just a few minutes’ worth of animation CD is able to tell us literally everything there is to know about Sonic’s character without having him utter a single word while the Storybook games had to devote hours long narratives to get the point across. It also further lampshades just how backwards Sega’s recent handling of Classic as a character has been, focusing completely on his cutesy side while completely neglecting his cooler one, or at least downplaying it, while one of the main reasons for the switch to Modern was because they feared that Classic was being perceived as too cute by fans at the time, but whatever that’s a topic for another time

From a graphical standpoint...yeah this game is above and beyond the best of the classics, both in general spritework (though bosses in Sonic 3 actually look better, but that might just be due to that game having actual bosses that look more imposing in general), color variation, level of detail and artstyle, which is without even mentioning the way that the game manages to tell a simple yet subtle narrative through its backgrounds but I’ll focus on that at a later time

But personally I’ve...actually never been head over heels for these graphics unlike everyone else, mostly due to a personal thing, since Sonic game move so quickly it’s usually hard for me to really focus on background details and whatnot, which isn’t helped by the one thing you’ll be looking at the most, Sonic’s sprite, pretty much being ripped straight from Sonic 1 and looking so out of place compared to the rest of the game. But again: it’s not a knock against the game, it’s just me

Musically I...think it’s good, it’s certainly the most varied and smartly utilised soundtrack in the Classic games (or even in the whole series) due to how each track ties very well to the feel of not only each Zone but also each era, but personally? When it comes to Sonic music I tend to prefer more upbeat, fast paced tracks. CD’s OST is much slower and usually pretty calming and atmospheric, which works very well for what it’s trying to accomplish, it’s just not what I personally prefer to hear in a Sonic game (and yeah I’m talking about the JPN score, it’s been ages since I’ve listened to the US tracks)

On the other hand however I like all of the vocal tracks

Sonic Boom was the first I was introduced to and it still sounds great, but over time I also gained a lot of appreciation for You can do anything. The lyrics are really cheesy and are bordering on nonesense half the time, but I like the energy it has

My absolute favorite however is Cosmic Eternity. I really wish more people would talk about this one because this is, and I’m not kidding here, one of my favorite Sonic songs in general. Right up there with the likes of Open your Heart, Live and Learn and What I’m Made of. It’s just so upbeat and uplifting, it fits both this game’s happier aspects and Sonic’s character like a glove, the latter more in the sense that it sounds like something that Sonic would sing someone to cheer them up

hi your edits are so so pretty!! I was wondering if you could please do a tutorial or give some tips on how you made this Typography? /post/716216798240980992/detective-michael-logan-leader-of-the-nypds

i'd be happy to! it's super easy and fun! ignoring the awful quality and slow framerate, i still love this set tbh

i still have the psd for this, but for some reason, i rasterized all the text layers, so i had to do everything from scratch anyway. i'm pretty sure this is the same font i used, so here are my settings for a 540px gif

so here's our starting point:

and add a drop shadow, though this will vary by font and gif

now for the fun part: the text warp tool! make sure you're still in the text menu for this to show up.

the dropdown menu gives you a bunch of different options to choose from. for this particular effect, i chose fish. some of my other favorites are flag, wave, and twist. here were the settings i used. i will say i rarely adjust anything but the bend just out of personal preference. i honestly recommend to just play around with the sliders and see what you like best!

as a side note, when warping text, you'll want to make sure your text box is as small as possible. i'm sure everyone does it differently, but when i make a text box, i start on the left edge of the gif and drag it all the way across to the right edge so it's centered vertically, so when i use text warp, i need to drag those ends back in once i have the size and font settings i want.

you could leave your text as is, but if you want that extra outline bit, it's also quick and easy! first, duplicate your text layer and then rasterize it (right click on the layer and select rasterize type). then, click on the little thumbnail the arrow is pointing to and click "select pixels"

this is what you'll see. you're selecting only the text on the layer rather than selecting the entire rectangle of your gif. then go to edit > stroke

i do this effect a LOT, and i almost always use 1px. i also usually use white, but that will totally depend on what you're going for. this color is going to determine the color of your outline, though you could always change it later with a color overlay layer style.

your text is still selected, but now you can see the outline we just created. this is the important part! use transform (ctrl+t) and move the selection somewhere else on the canvas where it's not touching your centered text and outline.

it's still selected (and this ended up being the part i always forgot when i first started doing this effect), so click anywhere on your gif to deselect it. the dotted lines will go away. then erase that text bc we don't need it.

it really doesn't matter when you do this, but switch off the effects on this new rasterized layer bc we don't want the outline to have a drop shadow, just the original text layer underneath.

it totally doesn't matter in what direction you move your outline, but i almost always use ctrl+t and move the outline using my arrow keys up two and to the left two.

and we're left with the effect in my set you referenced! this effect looks even cooler when you change the original text layer's blend mode like in these gifs:

please let me know if you have any questions on this or anything else!

Hi 👋🏻😊 hope you dont mind me sending my request here instead of PMing you; I'm curious who you'd pair me with :3

I'd like a matchup for a male DMC character. My pronouns are she/her.

Appearance: I'm 5'3", got a full figure body with a round face. I have mid back length, dark chocolate colored hair with down turned eyes of the same color. Under my left eye are 2 freckles that look exactly like this -> : <- I usually wear comfy clothes, but will dress up if I need to. Most of the time I just wear a tshirt with pj pants, or leggings with a tshirt.

Personality: I am introverted, possibly an INFJ, I am more emotional than logical, and am a Gemini

Interests: I like to read, write, and basically do anything creative; I like working with/using my hands to make something, or to help someone out (giving massage, need first aid, etc.) I am also a foodie, love looking up recipes to try and love to cook/bake.

What I look for in a partner is someone who has a sense of humor, knows how to have fun and when to be serious, can make me smile, and are kind-hearted or compassionate. They can be introverted, extroverted, or ambiverted, it dont matter to me as long as I feel I could vibe with them and talk to them about anything.

My love language is physical touch and quality time. I don't really have an ideal date, just staying home with either a cooked meal or takeout would be fine with me as long as I'm with my partner.

heya! however you prefer to send the info is good! and thank you again for the matchup you wrote, i absolutely adored it 🥹

anyway, let’s get into it!

hope you’re alright with a chit chat or monologue, because I’m loading your match!

…ପ( •̤ᴗ•̤ )੭ु⁾⁾.｡.:✽・ﾟ＋

your match is…

NERO!

Nero first met you during his off time between jobs at home in Fortuna. You would probably bump into each other by chance. I can imagine a scenario of you helping out a group of children who were lost perhaps? Nero knows how to help them get back home, so he jumps in to assist you. Then, once it’s just the two of you after all of that, you spark up a conversation, and funnily enough, there’s certainly a spark.

You cross paths a few more times before you eventually decide to make the first move. You bring him a small variety of baked goods when you swing by to ask the big question, and Nero tries to play off like he’s much cooler about the whole thing than he really is.

Nero’s sense of humour often comes in the form of poking fun and being a bit of a tease. You can also make him laugh pretty easily. That being said, he knows when to turn it off, so that’s not an issue.

You can talk to Nero about absolutely anything. He won’t tell a soul if you don’t want him to, and he’s got a level enough head to give good advice to others. Sometimes he might be the type to offer solution before comfort, though, so if you’d rather the latter, you might have to tell him.

Nero would go to hell and back a million times for his loved ones. He’s got a kind heart, and he’ll do almost anything to make you happy. His tone when he speaks with you is softer than with anyone else. It’s almost funny. Alright, it’s hilarious. Nico rinses him to death for it, but she’s always on the receiving end of his sarcasm, so it goes both ways really.

Nico would totally get along with you, though. You’re around her a lot by association with Nero, and if you enjoy hands on tasks you might find yourself in the garage as a project partner quite often.

Nero is totally here for the chilled home dates. He finds it comforting to have this space with you that you can call your own, so there’s not many places he’d rather be. He’ll let you choose the food and a movie, he’s just happy to be there.

Sometimes he’s away for a long time on missions… Luckily, you’re always there to welcome him home with your affection and some form of small gift, favour or a date planned. He brings you back souvenirs too if he gets a job in a new, fascinating place. Think of it as making up for lost time. (You also spend a lot of time together post mission because you’re patching up his wounds and insisting that a massage will ease all of the tension and aches that come from fighting. Not that he’s complaining, he welcomes your touch.)

I hope this is to your liking! :) and to my followers, what do we think of the slight format change?

Devlog #001 - Summer is here and there's ice in the cooler

Hey Dear Reader! Here we are again, on our second week of the project being out in the open, and I must say that it has been absolutely delightful. The whole team has been hard at work on their own duties, writing, setting up things, discussing new and old ideas, editing, translating and mostly having a blast with this new working schedule we've developed so far. This whole policy of "Trade Perfect for Done" has done wonders for us, this week we've tackled some ideas we had in the backburner for a while, and I'll tell you what do we have in store for the next few days and weeks:

• DGS Podcast: Our Project Manager "elSolar" and I, just finished recording the raw audio for the first episode of what will be our bi-weekly (I'm not sure if it's the right term, maybe is bi-monthly, when you do it every other week, I get confused with those sometimes) official podcast, in which we'll talk about mechanics, lore and the development process of DGS, it should be out this week, and we'll release it as soon as it's done. It was a fun experience! We were a little bit nervous at first, but we got into it and let ourselves loose after a while, all in the spirit of doing things instead of overplanning. This episode we talk about the origins of DGS, we unveil some of the lore and have fun with some random questions, stay tuned for when it comes out! • Detrayan Prism Takes Off: We posted one of our main stories the other day, "The Myth of Creation", which will be part of our narrative series as a way to flesh out the lore and share with you some of the non-mechanical aspects of DGS. This week we're working on the translation of "Miracle - Losing Doesn't Halt the Bet", a beautiful story about empathy, forgiveness, and gambling, written by our Narrative Director, Mr. "R. Ursus". We hope that these stories not only help you understand more of the lore of our world, but also leave you with a message of hope and resilience. • DGS Annex: As you might have noticed, the manuals need some elements that are not available yet, like our continent map, the character sheet, a GD reference sheet and the script for the Prologue Episode. We're putting the final touches to these elements, and they'll be published very soon as well, which will takes us to a point where we can concentrate more on the lore, by having the mechanics already established in their basic sense, leaving us free to work on lore and subsystems! • Community Space Tidying Up: As you already know, social spaces are a difficult area for me, so our Subsystems Manager, "Kitt", is giving me a hand with the social and the construction of spaces to grow a community, play the game and discuss the lore and stories around it. We're aiming to have a presence on most socials, but we'll concentrate mostly on Discord (Which is where our sessions usually take place) and we've also made a Subreddit (r/Detrayan) as well.  • Green Book: We keep our progress on our third manual, we're taking it easy with this one a bit, so we can push the final parts of the playable stage, but it should be out pretty soon. This one will be a glimpse into the world in a general sense, we'll talk about the Planes, Ages, Species, Landmarks and Deities, among others.  Besides that, there are lots of other things we have planned for the upcoming weeks, like the Spanish versions of the manuals and stories, the construction of our own Discord Bot for DGS sessions, and the implementation of our Subsystems once the three main books of the "Detrayan Colors" series are finished (I want to get to the Yellow Book so much! Can't wait to talk about our moving cities and Behemoths!)

Anyway, I hope you're doing well, that your family, friends and pets are healthy and happy, that your today pales in comparison to your tomorrow, and that all your projects and ideas get to safe harbor. We want to thank everyone who has shown interest in the project and our ideas, we really appreciate your support, we hope you see us as friends you can reach out and talk to. Throw a message our way, let's have a friendly chat, talk about the project with your friends, clean up your cat's litter box and take your dog for a walk, call your mom and tell her that you love her, drink water, drive safely and enjoy life as much as you can. It seems I got sidetracked, anyway, have a most excellent day, and it would mean a lot to us if you can do the whole "like, share, subscribe, engage and comment" that everyone talks about, your support is the fuel that keeps this TTRPG vehicle going forward. As always, very big hugs from your friends at the Detrayan Team! Mick Lead of Detrayan Team

Ren Jinguji (Repeat)

Translator: Akari (twitter: akari) Proofreader: Raz (twitter: agnadance) Editors: Snail (twitter: herbert_snail), Lacey (twitter: fairyharp), Mae (twitter: itoshikimaegirl)

June — Looking Up at the Sky Rhapsody

It’s June. The days are often rainy and some are cooler than in May. And yet….

Jinguji-san is as passionate as ever.

Ren Jinguji: Hi, little lambs. Looking as cute as ever, I see.

Female Student B: Kyaaa!! Jinguji-san!!

He says charming words to the girls and blows heart-melting kisses all over the place.

Syo Kurusu: He has no standards, as always. Haruka, I don’t know how you can partner up with a guy like him.

Haruka Nanami: Jinguji-san is a very inviting and very attractive man. I think that’s why the other girls can’t leave him alone.

Rather, I’m sorry I'm not worthy of him.

Jinguji-san’s song was wonderful!

I only listened to one chorus, but I could feel the difference between our abilities. His musical sensibilities are way above mine.

I think he doesn’t come to practice because I’m not good enough.

Haruka Nanami: I have to work hard.

Jinguji-san’s color... the mood around him, his natural sense of style, that natural charisma….

His presence that entraps everything around him and doesn’t let go is something I’ve come to understand over the last two months, but....

I just can’t find the right “sound”.

At first, when I just heard his voice, I had an image of it, and the sound started to come together. However, the more I get to know him… the more I see his many faces and the more confused I am by his depth.

The song to be sung by Jinguji-san.

There must be a song that only Jinguji-san can sing, but….

I just can’t grasp the melody.

I think we need to talk about it, even if I have to force him, and give it shape note by note.

Haruka Nanami: …

I was staring at Jinguji-san.

And then….

Ren Jinguji: Huh. I think I’m feeling an intense gaze….

Jinguji-san sighs and comes to my seat.

Huh, oh. My heart’s not prepared for this….

Ren Jinguji: What do you want? If you stare at me like that, you’re going to burn a hole through me.

Select the phrase!

T-to practice… (+ 25 Love +5 Music)

Haruka Nanami: I sure would love for you to come to practice.

Ah! I couldn’t help but to be honest….

Ren Jinguji: Oh, is that all you want? Why don’t we go somewhere else for once?

Somewhere else...?

Ren Jinguji: Nothing comes to mind?

It would be really, really fun to go somewhere with Jinguji-san, but if you ask me where exactly….

Truthfully, I just want him to come practice… I’d like to hear him sing.

Haruka Nanami: I’m sorry. Going out is nice and all, but I really want to hear you sing.

Ren Jinguji: Don’t be sorry. I was just asking. However… you really like music, don’t you?

Haruka Nanami: Yes!

All my life, I’ve always had the most fun playing the piano.

I never went anywhere with friends and was always alone. Music was my only friend.

So… I have no idea where to go.

Instead, I’d like Jinguji-san to know more about the joy of music and I’d also like to try to create music together with someone.

Ryuya Hyuga: Hey, homeroom’s already started. How long are you gonna keep making noise? I could hear you all the way down the hallway.

When Hyuga-sensei arrives, the girls who had just surrounded Jinguji-san go back to their seats obediently.

Ryuya Hyuga: Now, do you guys know about Ohayaho~ News?

Male Student A: Yeees! I know it!

Most of the students nod. Of course, I also know about it.

Ryuya Hyuga: It’s sudden, but that program... is coming to our school tomorrow.

Ohayaho~ News.

It’s a morning news program with the idol I admire, HAYATO-sama, as the reporter.

For each broadcast, HAYATO-sama visits a popular location and then does his best to tell the viewers about it in a cheerful and energetic way.

And Ohayaho~ News is coming to our school….

That means….

I might be able to meet HAYATO-sama!!!

Ah! I have to keep it together.

I’m aiming to be a professional, so I can’t act like a fangirl....

But… I’m really… happy!!

I shouldn’t bother him when the day comes. I’ll watch him from the shadows of the school building.

Ryuya Hyuga: I’ve been told he wanted a student reporter as support… Jinguji, the president has designated you.

Ren Jinguji: The boss?

Ryuya Hyuga: Yeah, he has a plan. Will you do it?

Ren Jinguji: I can't disobey an order from the boss.

Ryuya Hyuga: OK, well, we’re counting on you.

Today is the day. For some reason, Hijirikawa-sama is at the meeting place.

Masato Hijirikawa: Jinguji… you’re late. It is almost time for the show to start.

Ren Jinguji: ...Masato Hijirikawa...? ...Why are you here?

Oh, this feeling again….

When Jinguji-san and Hijirikawa-sama come face to face, the atmosphere changes drastically.

There’s a tense mood in the air, just as hostile as they’ve been before between them.

Masato Hijirikawa: What? Didn’t you hear from the principal?

Today's report is "An in-depth expose on school life of the two major conglomerates!”

Apparently, he is going to present our school lives.

I do not want to disclose too much about my household, but… there is no way around these circumstances.

Ren Jinguji: Household…? Given the rival relationship between two major conglomerates, it’s inevitable that they’ll be compared to each other.

For a long time, there have been comparisons about everything between our families. To think this would continue even after I’ve come to this school, and have this exposed to the world….

It seems that you and I are doomed to fight no matter how far we go.

Listening to the conversation between them, it seems that this is not a relationship that began yesterday or today.

It’s a conflict involving not only the people in question, but also their households. Looking at their expressions, it seems like there’s a deeper connection between the two of them than most people would imagine.

I’m Jinguji-san’s partner, but I guess I still don’t know much about him.

Masato Hijirikawa: There is no need to fight.

Ren Jinguji: How naive. Even with no points involved, we’re going to be on the same screen. The viewers will judge us based on things like popularity and our conglomerates’ powers.

This is a noteworthy battle, whether we like it or not. It means you and I will go on fighting.

At that moment,

The ground where the two of them are standing shakes violently.

Ren Jinguji: Ah! An earthquake?

Bump!

Boom!

It’s the principal who breaks through the ground.

Shining Saotome: Mr. Jinguji is right! This IS a noteworthy battle! AND I’ll add a point system as well!

Haruka Nanami: Points? But… how will you do that?

Shining Saotome: Hehehe. That is….

Haruka Nanami: What is it?

Shining Saotome: What would it be? YOU right there, answer please!

Haruka Nanami: Eh? M-me?!!!

Suddenly, the principal points a finger at me. I don’t understand… but I have no choice but to answer.

Select the phrase!

Idol Power? (+0 Love +10 Music)

Shining Saotome: Hahahaaa! That’s right!!!

This is an idol training school, so it’s all about idol power!!

Haruka Nanami: Idol power… but how…?

Shining Saotome: Mmm, like this moment. Let’s explain it on TV instead.

Soon afterwards, HAYATO-sama and his staff arrive.

HAYATO: Ohayaho~! Ten million HAYATO fans all over Japan, how are nya?

Today, we’re here at Saotome Academy to bring cheer to you all!

And today, these two people will give you a tour around the school instead of me!

Masato Hijirikawa: My name is Masato Hijirikawa. I look forward to working with you.

Ren Jinguji: I’m Ren Jinguji. Today, I’ll show all you viewers out there just how charming this school is.

HAYATO: Come to think of it, today, instead of just presenting the school, the two of you are going to have a reporting competition, right?

Shining Saotome: That’s right! The two of you will have to compete with all the power you have and all the power of each conglomerate!

HAYATO: AH, this is the school principal, SHINING SAOTOME!

He’s a legend, so I don’t need to introduce him to you because everyone knows about him.

Shining Saotome: Hahahaaa~ I’m the national beautiful boy idol!

Ren Jinguji: Beautiful boy…?

Masato Hijirikawa: Yes, and he even called himself “national”. Should we interfere here?

Ren Jinguji: No, let’s leave it to HAYATO for now.

Jinguji-san and Hijirikawa-san seem to be talking in a whisper, but I can’t hear them clearly from where I am.

Shining Saotome: Anyway, you two are going to have to report on how gorgeous and haaandsome you guys are!

This is also publicity for Saotome Academy, so give it your all! It will also affect your future grades!

And you, yes, YOU in front of the TV will decide who wins and who loses!

We’re going to have the audience vote to decide which of the two is better! In the end, the one with more votes wins!

Now, now, to vote, use number one for Mr. Hijirikawa and number two for Mr. Jinguji at the end of the following number on the screen!

And if you vote for Shining Saotome, add a number three respectively, beep boop bop! Give us a call!

Masato Hijirikawa: I understand the rules, but why is the principal the third option?

Ren Jinguji: Who knows. But, well, he’s just trying to show off anyway, right?

Shining Saotome: Hahaha~ Correct answer! Then, then, the report game starts now! But first, a commercial!

The school principal points his index finger at the camera.

Then the staff members start to move in a hurry.

Ren Jinguji: Points, huh...? It might be a good opportunity. We’ve always been compared to something, even between our households.

Being in different grades made it difficult to see clearly which one of us is better, but with this….

This time, it’ll be crystal clear who is the winner and the loser.

Masato Hijirikawa: There you go again. I do not understand why you are so concerned with winning and losing. You weren’t when we were children.

Ren Jinguji: I’ve forgotten about those days. I just… I just want to show that I’m better than you.

Masato Hijirikawa: Show? To whom? To the world?

Ren Jinguji: I’m not obliged to tell you that. Besides… I haven’t got anyone to prove myself to… not anymore.

Jinguji-san mutters something in a whisper.

Ren Jinguji: Anyway, as long as it's a match, I'll just do my best. Will you support me too?

I am standing in the corner where I wouldn’t get in the way of the broadcast’s filming when Jinguji-san approaches me.

Select the phrase!

Yes, I’d be happy to! (+25 Love +0 Music)

Haruka Nanami: Of course, I’ll support you. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!

Ren Jinguji: Heh. Good girl. I like honest girls.

Haruka Nanami: L-LIKE?!!!!!

Ren Jinguji: Hmm? Something wrong?

Haruka Nanami: I-i-it’s nothing!

It’s not like he means something deep, but even though I know he doesn’t….

I was surprised when he said “like”.

It’s the first time somebody has said that to me.

Soon after, the power match between the Hijirikawa conglomerate and Jinguji conglomerate begins.

First, it’s Jinguji-san’s turn. He’s bold enough to wear a swimsuit… as he presents the pool.

Ren Jinguji: Heh. I’m confident in my reporting skills. I won’t lose to Hijirikawa.

Jinguji-san stands in front of the TV camera with a daring smile on his face.

Ren Jinguji: This here is the pride of Saotome Academy, the indoor pool. The pool is completely enclosed by glass walls, and it’s even soundproofed. The ceiling is retractable, perfect for sunbathing on a sunny day.

Would you like to swim with me, all you little lambs watching out there?

I’ll show you not only how to swim, but also every step of falling in love.

He winks as he says that.

H-he… looks so cool! I’m sure there’ll be a lot of squealing voices on the other side of the TV!

It was silly of me to think the swimsuit would be too much. As we watch, the audience vote counter displayed in the corner of the TV screen fills with votes for Jinguji-san.

Incidentally, the results of the audience vote are shown as bars, with Jinguji-san’s displayed in red and Hijirikawa-sama’s displayed in blue.

Haruka Nanami: Amazing….

George: ... It’s only natural.

Suddenly, I hear a voice from behind me. Startled, I turn around to find George, Jinguji-san’s butler, standing there!

I didn’t notice him at all…. When did he…?

Jii: Mhmm! No, this isn’t good, we must not allow this! We must go on the offensive!!

Masato Hijirikawa: But I do not behave like that….

Jii: No! Young Master, there is no way you can lose to someone like him! Come on, this way....

Perhaps Hijirikawa-sama is not good at improvisation, because Jii-san is holding out a cue card on the other side of the camera.

Masato Hijirikawa: ...T-this is… the… rooftop. It is open to students…. Many of them use it during their lunch break….

A-at night... the stars are beautiful. And…!!!!!!!!

Hijirikawa-sama’s face freezes at the sight of the cue card,then instantly turns bright red.

Masato Hijirikawa: I-I’m sure that the stars reflected in your eyes would be so beautiful that I would be drawn into your gaze.

After saying that much, Hijirikawa-sama takes a single deep breath. Then, he looks straight into the camera.

Masato Hijirikawa: One day, I wish to view this night sky with just the two of us…. Is it sinful of me to feel that way? … No, no matter the weight of the sin….

… I long for you…. For the moment I can hold you in my arms….

The rooftop is silent. It’s like watching a scene from a drama.

We’re all drawn in by the performance. It must be the same for the audience because Hijirikawa-sama’s vote count has gone up a lot.

After that, every time Jinguji-san reports, his votes go up dramatically….

And each time Hijirikawa-sama conveys a scene, his votes also increase rapidly.

Moreover, perhaps as a demonstration of the power of the conglomerates, there is an explanation of the amazing musical instruments donated by both parties and the equipment developed by the companies.

It’s turning into a bit of a conglomerate promotion situation.

There’s a state-of-the-art computer and a sophisticated electronic piano in the computer room.

There’s a tremendously accurate mixer in the recording room.

Not only that, but they also lined up luxury cars owned by their households in the schoolyard.

It’s a mess with private helicopters flying in and out.

And so on.

I’m also doing my best to help Jinguji-san change his clothes and carry the luggage he asked me to carry, but….

It’s kind of dizzying because there are so many things happening that are beyond anything I could have imagined.

I don’t usually think that much about it, but now I’m realizing that both of them really live in a different dimension.

While the people around them make a fuss, the two of them don’t flaunt what they have, so they must think this is all normal.

Ryuya Hyuga: I see, so this is why Jinguji and I weren’t told about today’s plans until the last minute. If I had known in advance, I’d have stopped it.

Haruka Nanami: Ah, Hyuga-sensei.

Ryuya Hyuga: They’re ridiculous, aren’t they...? ... Well, for me, as long as the school facilities stay intact, I have no complaints….

Haruka Nanami: Um… this is on such a grand scale, I don’t know what to think anymore.

Ryuya Hyuga: Well, it’s dealin’ with two of the biggest companies in Japan. There’s also the fate they share.

Even if they don’t personally agree with this rivalry, they have no choice but to participate to keep up their households’ images.

Anyway, looks like the servants are getting more heated than those guys are.

Haruka Nanami: Fate…?

Ryuya Hyuga: Hm? What, you don’t know?

Haruka Nanami: Yes. I know that the two major conglomerates are rivals, but….

Ryuya Hyuga: To put it simply, they’re competitors. Apparently, the Jinguji conglomerate was originally bigger.

Once, when the Hijirikawa conglomerate management was declining, a considerable number of subsidiaries were absorbed by the Jinguji conglomerate.

But ten years later, the Hijirikawa conglomerate took them back by fairly forceful means.

In fact, it seems that they tried to cut down the company affiliated with the Jinguji household.

Haruka Nanami: They were… competing for affiliates? Somehow, it looks like the game Hana Ichi Monme, where two groups compete for members by playing rock-paper-scissors.

Ryuya Hyuga: It’s not that trivial, but… that’s what it’s all about. After a fierce takeover battle, internal affairs were disrupted and even the Japanese economy was affected.

A-amazing! It was on such a huge scale that even all of Japan became involved.

Ryuya Hyuga: Somehow, they agreed that they wouldn’t buy out each other’s conglomerate, but… their resentment from back then probably remains.

Such a thing could be…. I wonder if that’s why Jinguji-san considers Hijirikawa-sama a rival more than seems necessary.

George: At this rate, this fight’s not ending....

Jii: Hm, looks like this isn’t settling.... In that case….

George-san and Jii-san turn away from each other and leave in opposite directions, their brows wrinkled.

... What should I do? I’m kind of getting anxious.

Select the phrase!

Let them be. (+10 Love +0 Music)

Ren Jinguji: Hm? What’s going on? You have quite the expression…. What’s the problem?

While I’m standing in the corridor, not knowing what to do and unable to move, Jinguji-san calls out to me.

Haruka Nanami: U-um, George-san and Jii-san are….

Ren Jinguji: Hm? Oh. Is it sabotage? That’s something George would think of.

He put a thumbtack in Hijirikawa’s shoe earlier. Not that he’s the kind of guy who would fall for such a thing… and… neither am I.

Suddenly, Jinguji-san pulls me to his shoulder.

Haruka Nanami: U-um….

And then….

BANG CLANG!

From the ceiling, a large metal sink….

No, a wash basin crashes down.

Haruka Nanami: U-um, this is….

Ren Jinguji: Sabotage… right? It’s probably the work of Jii-san on Hijirikawa’s side. Truly a classic trick.

Sabotage…. This is….

A direct hit to the head like this would have been very painful.

I wonder if there are going to be dangerous traps everywhere if we just let things go on like this....

I can’t let that happen. Absolutely not. I-I have to do something.

After that, I found George-san and Jii-san trying to sabotage things and I did something about it.

Because… I don’t want the two of them to get hurt….

George: Hm. This will be enough.

George-san smirks, mutters, and walks away.

But right nearby….

Masato Hijirikawa: ... Here’s the athletic field…. In addition to being used for physical education classes, it is also used by the athletic department after school.

Hijirikawa-sama is explaining about the athletic field….

Was George-san setting some kind of trap again? Anyway, I have to do something.

With that in mind, I approach the spot, watching where I step… but….

Haruka Nanami: Ah. AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Ouch, ouch, ouch. U-um…. This is… a pitfall… isn’t it? I fell… in it, right?

Fortunately, I didn’t sprain anything. Maybe it’s because the soil is very soft.

I just….

Haruka Nanami: Erm… the sky is far away….

I look up and see that the entrance to the hole is very far away, revealing how deep the hole is.

Haruka Nanami: ... I wonder… if I can climb this….

The ground is damp and as I move I hear the sound of splashing water. The sides of the hole are also moist with water.

It looks like water is seeping in from all sides, gradually filling the hole.

At that moment, I imagine a newspaper article with the title, “High school girl drowns in a pitfall.”

This is terrible!!

Haruka Nanami: And if a scandal like that happens at the school, it’ll cause a great deal of trouble. Hmmm….

... I have to try to climb somehow, after all.

Haruka Nanami: O... kay…. One…. Ah!

The soil here is soft and crumbles after a short climb.

No matter how hard I try, I slowly slip down. I don’t think I can reach the top.

Haruka Nanami: Is it… impossible… to climb? What if I stay like this forever…?

I’m sure Tomo-chan will be sad if I’m gone….

And everyone in the class…. How would it be for Jinguji-san in particular?

I wonder if I’m being of some help to him.

I’m still working on the song, but I think Jinguji-san can make his debut on his own.

He’s a person who wants to live a free life, so he probably wouldn’t want me to persistently ask him to practice.

... I guess he may not be in trouble even if I’m gone. I’m sure he’ll find a new partner in no time….

Another partner, not me? Jinguji-san will team up with someone other than me….

Haruka Nanami: E-eh…?

It’s funny. I’m kind of crying.

When I wipe the tears off with the back of my hand, the mud gets into my eyes and more tears come out.

I don’t… like that idea. I want to write a song for Jinguji-san, a song made for his voice.

... If that’s not even possible, at least I want to hear his voice one last time.

Haruka Nanami: Jinguji-san…!!

And, at that moment.

Ren Jinguji: Geez. Just when I thought you were out of sight, I happen to find you in a place like this!

Haruka Nanami: Eh…?

I can hear Jinguji-san’s voice from above the hole.

Am I mishearing? Maybe because I wanted to hear his voice for the last time?

But, apparently, I’m wrong.

Immediately, a rope ladder is thrown into the hole and Jinguji-san climbs down.

Ren Jinguji: You’re so covered in mud… and your tears…. Your pretty face is a mess.

Jinguji-san sighs and wipes my face with a handkerchief.

Haruka Nanami: T-thank you very much. But… why?

I mumble to myself, stunned. After all, it wouldn’t be a problem for Jinguji-san if I was gone.

Besides, he’s in the middle of a game and doesn’t have time to deal with me.

He wouldn’t even notice I’m not there… is what I thought.

Because I’m not necessary to him.

Ren Jinguji: I was looking at the monitor and I just happened to see the moment you disappeared.

Haruka Nanami: But… you’re in the middle of an important battle now….

Ren Jinguji: Yeah, it’s an important moment, so I’d like to get this over with as soon as possible. Come….

While saying that, Jinguji-san extends his hand.

Haruka Nanami: U-um… I’m muddy right now… so… erm… you’ll get dirty.

If he stands in front of the camera with muddy clothes even though the match is still going on….

Ren Jinguji: So? I have plenty of spare clothes.

Haruka Nanami: B-but… the audience votes… will decrease during the match….

Ren Jinguji: Do you want to be saved or not?

Eh? Is Jinguji-san angry?

Haruka Nanami: I want you to help me… but… since it’s a match… I want you to win….

Ren Jinguji: If that’s what you think, don’t go getting into trouble so easily, princess. The prince can’t always come to help you.

Haruka Nanami: I’m sorry.

Jinguji-san sighs again as I start feeling discouraged.

Ren Jinguji: Come on…. You don’t want to be in this place forever. You’d end up being depressed. Let’s go.

Jinguji-san picks me up forcibly and carries me out of the hole.

While he’s not as gentle as he normally is while escorting, right now he feels powerful and reliable.

It’s different from usual. However, I’m sure this is one real side of him.

Haruka Nanami: U-um… thank you.

Ren Jinguji: Don’t thank me. That was George’s mismanagement. I’m glad you’re okay.

With a very kind expression, he gently strokes my head.

Haruka Nanami: Jinguji-san… thank you very, very much!

It was dark and I felt helpless, and I wondered if I was going to die like that, but I thought it’d be okay because no one would be troubled…. I was so sad.

Ren Jinguji: Hey, hey. That’s what you were thinking about? Geez, this kid....

Haruka Nanami: Yes, because I haven’t been of any help. I’ve been causing you so much trouble….

Ren Jinguji: If you feel that way, you should try harder. Are you going to lose the bet before you’ve even composed the song?

Besides, I have a certain amount of trust in you as a partner. I don’t want you to leave without telling me.

Haruka Nanami: ... Jinguji-san, do you accept me as your partner?

I thought that maybe I was being annoying.

Ren Jinguji: Isn’t it obvious? Or what? Are you questioning my decision to choose you? I’m still a good judge of character.

I don’t want you to underestimate me. What’s more, I wouldn’t be talking to you if I wasn’t really interested at all.

Haruka Nanami: ... So, why don’t you join me at practice?

Ren Jinguji: Lady, are you going to make a song that is far different from my personality and that I can’t sing without practicing hard?

Haruka Nanami: ... No, as much as possible, I want to create something that is easy for you to express….

Ren Jinguji: Right? And you’re talented enough to do it… or that’s what I think, at least. That’s why I chose you.

I’m busy. I can’t spend a lot of time on just one person, but I’m sure you can make it work on your own.

I may come practice if you make me feel like doing it.. If I think it’s worth it, then it is.

Haruka Nanami: R-really?! Yes!! I’ll do my best!

So, he trusts me…. Moreover, he might even come to practice.

That way I can make songs that suit him better.

Ah, I’m so happy! I have to work hard!

Ren Jinguji: And well…. At the very least, I’d be in trouble if you were gone.

So don’t think that no one would be bothered by your disappearance.

There isn't a single person who isn't needed somehow—it's no good to think you'd be any different.

At that moment….

Rumble rumble rumble. Boom!

Out of the blue, the principal descends upon us.

Shining Saotome: Beautiful love duo! My tears are f-f-flowing like two beautiful waterfalls! I'm absolutely EXPLODING with EMOTIONS!

Suddenly, the principal appears and sheds a waterfall of tears.

Shining Saotome: Thanks to YOUR passionate friendship, Saotome School’s image is soaring UP, UP, UP!

So, this time I’m going to show you a special tour of my secret home!

Usually, this trade secret is not disclosed, but in honor of Mr. Jinguji’s passionate friendship….

This time only, I’ll show you a sneak peak! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Right now, I have no idea what is happening or why.

After that, Ohayaho~ News runs overtime to showcase the principal’s house.

His home is absolutely gorgeous, with a western castle-like house and then a Japanese-style castle kept as a second home.

Also, there are many facilities at Saotome Academy built using private funds from the principal.

On campus, there are entertainment facilities such as amusement parks, movie theaters, hot spring inns, and, to my surprise, he even has a vacation home on the moon….

Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa~ This is just a part of it!

Both Jinguji-san and Hijirikawa-sama are stunned by this extraordinary financial power.

And the results of the vote say….

It turns out that the principal, who joined the match unannounced and boasted about his lavish lifestyle, has come out on top!

Shining Saotome: So deservedly! Always aim for the top if you can! That’s what a legendary idol does!

ME is number one!

With that, the principal proudly puffs out his chest.

Syo Kurusu: Wow, that’s super immature. He just did everybody in at the end.... What was that match all about?

Tokiya Ichinose: It’s useless to ask. That's just the kind of entity he is.

Although Syo-kun and Tokiya-san say that, I still think the principal is wonderful.

And even more than that, now Jinguji-san looks even more radiant than before.

He was willing to get himself dirty, even to the point of throwing away his own important match, to help me.

I’m so happy that I was told that I can help.

I know I have to work hard.

And the show has come to an end.

HAYATO:Your hosts were HAYATO and….

Ren Jinguji: ... Ren Jinguji and….

Masato Hijirikawa: ... Masato Hijirikawa.

Director: Cut! Okay!

HAYATO:Hehe. That was great, both of you! Good job!

Ren Jinguji: Good job.

Masato Hijirikawa: Good job.

Shortly thereafter, HAYATO-sama and his staff leave the school.

Ren Jinguji: In the end, we didn’t find out who would win between us.

Masato Hijirikawa: That is fine, then. We shouldn’t fight if we don’t have to.

Ren Jinguji: You have the option. You’re the eldest son, so you’re naturally ahead of me. That’s why you can afford to be like that.

Masato Hijirikawa: That is not the case. Is your position, free of restraints from your family, not more advantageous?

Ren Jinguji: You can only say that because you’re the one who can go beyond the door. How miserable it is to be someone who isn’t allowed to even open the door….

I just don’t like the fact that you have unconditional happiness. That’s why I have to surpass you to be recognized.

Masato Hijirikawa: What are you saying? Happiness…? I... never….

Ren Jinguji: At least you’re cherished by your family, as the eldest son.

Masato Hijirikawa: Mm, maybe so. Just... as a successor to the household.

Ren Jinguji: That’s enough of a reason. Anyway, we’ll settle this again sooner or later.

Masato Hijirikawa: Do what you want…. You have no idea how I feel or how hard things are for me

And so, both of them walked off in different directions.

Haruka Nanami: Um, Jinguji-san! Good job!

I offer a towel to Jinguji-san.

Ren Jinguji: Oh, good job… but I don’t need a towel. Why don’t you wipe your face before giving it to me? Your face is still muddy.

Select the phrase!

So are your clothes. (+20 Love +0 Music)

Haruka Nanami: First, we need to get the mud off your clothes.

Ren Jinguji: I told you that I have plenty of spare clothes. It’s as simple as taking these things off. George, get me a different uniform….

As soon as Jinguji-san orders that, George quickly takes out a clean uniform…. Amazing!

Is it possible that he carries it with him at all times?

Ren Jinguji: In the end, there was no winner or loser.

Haruka Nanami: Do you want to beat Hijirikawa-sama…?

Ren Jinguji: Yeah, of course. To the extent that the world recognizes that he is no match for me.

It doesn’t matter what your birth order is. That doesn’t make you superior. I’m going to prove it here at this school.

Which one is better…? The graduation audition will reveal it most clearly.

But in a graduation audition, the quality of the song will also be evaluated.

I don’t know what kind of music Hijirikawa-sama’s partner will create, but I can’t lose!

Jinguji-san saved my life. Also… I definitely want to see him succeed as a top idol.

And... he also accepted me as his partner.

That’s why I’m not lost anymore! I’m the one who can make Jinguji-san shine brighter than anyone else….

Just through my feelings and music. I’ll work harder and harder and definitely debut with him!

I swear it firmly in my heart.

Mini Game

Ryuya Hyuga: Today I’m gonna test your lyric-writing sensibilities. Almost all songs are made before lyrics, but sometimes it’s the other way around. Lyric interpretation is very important.

Moreover, even if you’re a composer, you’ll still be writing lyrics. It’s good to polish your taste. Listen up! Lyrics aren't poems.

Think carefully about composing your melody, making it catchy, and treasuring the image of the song in your mind.

You’ll be asked to write your own lyrics for the assigned song. Choose one of several words in a fill-in-the-blank format. Use your sensibility to choose the lyrics that best suit the song.

I’ll grade it for you later. Now go ahead and give it a try!

S Rank

The next day, I show the lyrics I wrote for the test to Jinguji-san.

Ren Jinguji: Yes, you have good taste.

You not only have great taste in music, but with lyrics as well.

You must’ve been born with the talent for music.

Haruka Nanami: Eh… ah… I’m not that impressive….

“Born with the talent for music”.... I would be so happy if that were true.

However, that doesn’t sound possible, so I’ll continue to try my best.

When I'm not helping with chores around the house, I'm either playing video games (I just got off of Oblivion a few minutes ago, if you'd believe that), writing, or sitting outside and petting our cat. She's very needy hehehe.

I also like to watch my dad play video games when he's home and once in a while I sit and watch tv with mom. It's hard to keep my attention on the tv though, so I mostly just work on writing and chat with mom while she watches.

Are you published?:

With the exception of my Archive of Our Own (#EndOTWRacism!), no. I have considered publishing myself somehow but the options are not looking great...

Introvert or Extrovert:

Introvert. Every chance I get to stay home, unless it's for certain reasons, I take it. XD

Favourite Meal:

My favorite meal right now is chicken and waffles with a bourbon maple syrup. It's sooooo good and fills you right up! mmmm.

Tagging: @redadm1ral, @solnishka1927 and anyone else who wants to steal this from me to do-- I am now also tagging you >:D
