Actually joshbeat is hilarious like imagine going through a life changing traumatizing formative experience, and some twink god is responsible for it all, and he’s like your narrative foil and everything and you guys have this weird unexplainable dynamic, and then he finally shows his face again and a week later you find out he’s fucking your bro

joshbeat?? joshbeat

Joshua was convinced Beat didn’t like him. Why would he? There’s no reason for Beat to give Joshua the time of day, all things considered. The same went for all of Neku’s friends. Beat was particularly protective of Neku, and Joshua frankly had expected the two of them to grow close after their return the Realground, but apparently not as close as Neku and Shiki did. After several aggressive attempts on Neku’s part to convince Joshua to meet with them, he finally caved. That’s when he really got to talking to Beat and they buried the hatchet, so to speak. Joshua began to spend his downtime in the RG seeking out his company. One thing led to another, and Beat asked him out (which Joshua did not see coming. “Can ya even do that? Do they let you outta your bird cage?” Joshua had giggled at that. “I’ve already been breaking rules to see you. I suppose your rebellious nature is rubbing off on me.” Even though they’re drawn to each other, they’re, for all intents and purposes, polar opposites. They don’t make sense. And that’s what Joshua loves about them – about this. Bundled up in Beat’s hoodie at the skate park, watching him perform stunts with silly names. It’s just so… normal. If Joshua ignores the thrum of the UG in his Soul and tunes solely in to Beat, he can feel his vibrance for life. It’s addicting. It’s nothing like Joshua’s accustomed to, not even when he was alive. As he peels back the layers, becoming ever more intimate with each other, he continues to discover new things about Beat that endear him. His loyalty was especially attractive, and more so now that it’s been bestowed to Joshua. Beat’s not from any elite background; he’s not textbook smart. One might suspect Joshua would gravitate toward the more eloquent and erudite types, but that’s not the case. If there’s anything Joshua detests, it’s being bored. Beat challenges Joshua simply by being himself. His boundless excitement and penchant for total spontaneity ensure Joshua’s never bored. Even when things feel so normal like they do now. He could get used to this. He can’t, but to acknowledge that he could is… monumental. But for everything Joshua adores about Beat, he can’t fathom what Beat sees in him. Joshua watches with a growing smile as the brawny boy comes jogging back to him after practice, covered in sweat, panting and beaming with pride. It’s the least ideal time to ask, so it’s obviously the best time to ask. “What do you see in me?” Big blue eyes bat open wide, perplexed. Joshua lets slip a fond giggle and pats the space beside him to sit. “As in… what drew you to me? Why are you dating me, of all people?” It clicked then and Beat, flashing him one of those boyishly toothy grins, slings his arm around the petite set of shoulders to tuck Joshua in close. “Anyone can be forgiven, a’ight? Even you. You got a good heart. It’s just buried under a whole lotta hurt. I dunno what happened…” Joshua flinches and Beat gives him a reassuring squeeze. “But I don’t have to know what all went on when you were alive. All that matters is now. Yer smart… you teach me things. An’ you’re not so prissy, after all, not when I’ve got you squealin’ laughin’ an’ tryin’ to’ do ollies even if you fall an’ scuff up yer jeans. I know ya do that for me…” He takes Joshua’s hand and intertwines their fingers, resting their joined hands on his knee. “You’re more than ya want everyone to think you are. But I see you, more and more each day and I like the side of you that’s real.”

Joshua stares fixedly into his boyfriend's eyes, unaware of the pure shock wiping all semblance of dignity from his face, complete with slacking jaw. And Beat, looking adorably nonplussed, gives Joshua the tiniest shake. "Yo... you okay?" "That... was so articulate." Joshua says, awestruck, and smirks. "Maybe you are rubbing off on me." For just one stolen moment, Joshua’s not the Composer; he’s just a boy, and yet he's never felt more... important.

"I mean, I am an' I know ya hate when I sweat on ya--"

Joshua snags the chain around his neck and yanks him into a kiss before he can finish.

JoshBeat?

original template under the cut. I'm not a Josh liker so most of his ships are just uninteresting to me if I don't actively dislike them, but I do have to admit that shitty bitch angel X himbo ex-reaper is an interesting dynamic thematically. I have stronger opinions on how Josh and Beat foil each other narratively than I really do on their ship. It's fine, I guess, although I can't really see them getting along well enough to be lovers. no offense to you tho anon! if that's ur thing then more power to ya

[airawisteria]

The fact that Neku chose Joshua at the end of TWEWY just makes me feel so many fucking things—

Alright, here me out here.

Imagine you've gone through living life seeing dead people fighting these monster things, but no one believes you—none of them trust you. Sure, they maybe might trust you, but clearly not enough to believe you. You (probably) isolate yourself and clearly can't fit in, so you believe that letting people in will only lead to disappointment because what you've gone through has proven that to be the case.

Fast forward to now where you're the Composer. Shibuya's slowly, but surely, losing its spark and growing duller each day. And you're faced with a decision to make: to continue seeing the city eventually lose all that you loved about it and decay into nothingness or to destroy it here while it's still shining. You choose the latter. However, your Conductor is against this and vocalises this to you. You propose a bet, he has a month to win against you while you have a proxy play in the Game. Your Conductor accepts and the timer appears on his palm.

Later on, one of your top reapers (Game Masters) tries to overthrow you in the RG. He doesn't anticipate how much power you truly have in both planes of existence, so he, naturally, fails this attempt. However, during this, a teenager who you can instantly realise is like you in so, so many ways is caught in the middle. Seeing this golden opportunity, you use the gun in your hand to kill him. With a flick of the wrist, you have a Player Pin in your hands as you toss the pin onto the boy's dead body.

Neku Sakuraba should make for a fine proxy.

The first week begins of Neku's Game and you find that Neku is grasping the Game quite well—good, that's what you'd expected, after all. And soon, Neku wins but as you aren't around to oversee the players going from the RG to the UG, your Conductor has to use what he has to make sure nothing seems out of the ordinary, such as using another player as an entry fee. However, the fact that Neku sees another player (Shiki Misaki) as important enough to be his entry fee is... surprising.

The second week is about to begin and you feel quite the bit intrigued by Neku, so you decide to lower your vibe so that you, too, can play the Game. Once you're in the Game, you waste no time in partnering up with him. Neku, so laser-focused on finishing this Game for Shiki Misaki, looks for you, panicked. It's a sight you hadn't been expecting—since when did someone like Neku care about others like this?

Acting like you normally do, you soon find that Neku is not exactly fond of you. Of course, you hadn't expected him to be, but you had thought it would be for a different reason as opposed to not doing the tasks with haste since he needs to get Shiki back. You'd thought it would be for your attitude, but just that, not because of someone else. How... intriguing.

The week continues with Neku exchanging words of hostility to you as you half-truth your way out of things. Neku gets visions and soon realises you had killed him, and the hostility raises many levels. It's almost tangible how much he hates you. Yet, you do not give him a full answer, but rather one filled with half-truths. And, as the week continues, you find that the world view the two of you had agreed upon had changed for Neku. He is willing to let others into his garden. He's changed. The new situation shocks you, but you do not show it—how could you? And, why would you?

The week continues with much the same situation with Neku only cooperating with you, begrudgingly. Your identity was almost discovered by one of the reapers (Koki Kariya) but instead, you are assumed to be alive. If only to save yourself the hassle of the two knowing that you are the Composer, you go along with it after a moment of hesitation.

You find out about how the Taboo Noise came to be and that the Game Master (Sho Minamimoto) alongside Sanae Hanekoma has been using them.

The week continues and you notice something about the Red Skull pins.

Eventually, the week ends and you and Neku are fighting Sho Minamimoto. After a long battle, Sho uses an attack that would absolutely erase Neku if the attack connected with him. So, you push him out of the way, 'sacrificing' yourself as you say, "But, Neku, I thought you couldn't afford to lose" and with that the week ends.

You watch as the third week begins and how screwed over Neku is at the moment, but you don't do anything. A reaper turns player (Bito Daisukenojo) and Neku team up.

The week continues and, eventually, the two of them make their way to Dead God's Pad where they reunite with Shiki. Soon after, you see him again and, strangely, Neku seems relieved to see you. The four of you fight your Conductor in a misguided attempt to escape the Game. Neku wins, of course, and he finds out about the Long Game and how much of his life you've controlled. Well, his afterlife. You inform him of your plans to erase Shibuya. Expecting him to see this betrayal of trust to be enough to want to seek revenge against you, you offer him a deal—you will count down from 10 to 0 and the two of you will shoot. If Neku shoots you first, then he wins. If you shoot Neku first, you win.

You expect him to choose Shibuya over yourself. After all, is that not what everyone else has done? Your Conductor was to be expected, but you hadn't anticipated Sanae's betrayal, yet it makes sense. Neku hadn't known you for nearly enough as the other two, so for what reason would he choose you? No one has ever chosen you before.

Neku picks up the gun and points it at you and you smile as you countdown from ten. Tears have stained Neku's face, but when you reach zero, he drops the gun and smiles at you as a bang reverberates around the room.

He chose you.

So, you choose him too.

A week goes by and Neku and his friends are all alive now, yet he hasn't forgotten about you. He doesn't forgive you. Yet, he invites you to hang out with all of them. Yet, he trusts you. Yet, he chose you over the city he adored and grew up in.

He chose you. And you chose him.

(You are Joshua in this entire thing, if that wasn't obvious, btw)

And that, my friends, is what I call some romantic shit right there.

#joshneku #joshua kiryu #neku sakuraba #twewy #just me rambling #i might do this from nekus pov next #or later #but also i really want to talk about how thematically it fits with twewy as a whole #beatnekus also really cute tho so might talk about that later too #either that or joshbeat or whatever their ship name is (its fun imagining their friendship or romance blossoming)

[purplelea]

I see people getting enthusiastic about the player polycule but will they still be there when I'll start talking about JoshBeat, BeatShiki and Joshiki? not so sure. a shame since those three ships are extremely interesting as well

#you might tell me. but Léa they don't interact a lot! in fact Shiki and Joshua never interacted at all! how can we be there for that? #MY FRIENDS. i don't care <3 #the important part is the POTENTIAL of the dynamic!! what you can create!! #JoshBeat? the funny potential is too powerful here. it could be literally anything. #Beat is just too easy to mess with and Joshua certainly won't hesitate #but tbh i'm also a big fan of the idea of two characters who don't like to show weakness #(Beat because he believes he has to be strong to protect Rhyme) #(And joshua because... it's Joshua. he likes being in control of everything and showing weakness is not being in control #it requires trust. trust in the one you're with that they won't use that weakness against you. trust that they'll help you. #that they won't push you further down.) #and i dunno. the idea of these two trusting eachother enough to be vulnerable with eachother #it's so soft and cute. i love it #BeatShiki? can we talk about beatshiki for a sec. they're so sweet. remember how they immediately became friends when they met? #Beat hating Neku's guts but still accepting to help them because it was for Shiki? #the wait? the wait during 3 years as they were the closest ones from Neku #drifting apart to the point that Beat doesn't recognise Mr Mew anymore? what happened? #the idea of being different but wanting the same thing. aiming for the same goal. sharing something despite these differences #being brought together by that similarity despite everything else and sticking together because they're the only one who get you #they're the only one who knows what it's like to lose someone like Neku. to not know where he is. to wait or look for him everyday #joshiki? did you guys forget how Shiki was the one to ever break Neku's shell of self-isolation against the world? #and how much this characteristic of Neku is paralleled with Joshua? #don't you think it would be interesting to have her meet him? see how much she could change him? #also it would be funny af to have Shiki (extremely easily flustered person) and Joshua (big flirt) interact. you cannot disagree. #it would be hilarious. anyway i'm very normal about these three ships as you can see #léa rambles #twewy #hachicule #beatshiki #joshiki #joshbeat

[denizenhardwick]

thinking about...... joshbeat. beat challenges a lot of josh's ideas about people and their worth and his own sense of superiority, and i think that could be really interesting.

[twewytransswag]

I threw a pity vote at my boy beat before we all saw the joshbeat light because I was sure he wasn't gonna win and I would like to switch it to josh if he's still at a deficit

the commitment to the bit by you all is really quite lovely to see. alas i think josh may still be floundering a bit if we were to stick to this counting system.

#not polls! #asks! #i have kind of lost count a bit though i'll be honest

[ngc-5194]

Hihihi Lemon Drop!!! Hope you're having a lovely day 💛💛💛 Answerer's choice Sora Kingdomhearts or Joshua Kiryu Twewy for the ask game mayhaps??? :0c

hihi happi!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm having a pretty good day, thank you!! and! as u comand <3333333

Sora:

Sexuality Headcanon: bi!! and aromantic sometimes when the moment strikes. he is just a little guy who loves his friends oh so much <3333

Gender Headcanon: transmasc! he can contain so much transmasc swag its unreal. also every kh character is trans because i say so thank you for your time

A ship I have with said character: sorikai is soooo cute. who doesn't love childhood friends to lovers, especially when they all have two hands <33

A BROTP I have with said character: i need him and vanitas to be friends somehow so badly you don't understand. but of the actual relationships he has already him and roxas are so Important to me it's not even funny

A NOTP I have with said character: i'm gonna be real i just don't really get the princess ships. that or like him with any of the wayfinder trio. or just anyone who knew him as small kid when they were grown up.

A random headcanon: i think sora was the first of the island kids to learn how to swim but pretended to not be able to until riku and kairi could as well. he didn't want to swim until they could all swim together.

General Opinion over said character: I LOVE HIMMMM. he's so silly and kind and loveely. i am holding him in the palm of my hand and showing him off to everyone like a cool bug. i am feeding him little treats .i am forcing him to stop sacrificing himself for once in his life

Joshua:

Sexuality Headcanon: look at him. that's a homosexual. a very annoying one in a boring outfit but a Homosexual nonetheless. however. specifically he's homoromantic asexual. to me.

Gender Headcanon: trans man who gets just a little spicy with it (he/they/it in general but He/Him when he's feeling Annoying and she/her on the occasions he feels like it)

A ship I have with said character: i'm BORING okay <- joshneku. however joshbeat is also very funny to me i am smashing them together like barbie dolls.

A BROTP I have with said character: i think josh and shiki would be an incredible duo if they do not kill each other in the first 20 minutes. rather, if she does not kill him. again. also this is probably just dream drop distance talking but joshua and rhyme's dynamic can be SO.

A NOTP I have with said character: i suppose i'm not the biggest enjoyer of him and haz, but honestly i don't really care that much.

A random headcanon: ok this is a pretty common one but that boy definitely killed himself. most dramatically ironic if he did it from falling or a gun but no matter what that boy died by his own hand before he tried doing it again through neku

General Opinion over said character: i hate his ass so much. if anyone insults him theyre right but they are also so so so wrong. no one understands him like i do. i don't understand him either. i would punch him immediately if given the chance. someone needs to drag his ass to therapy yesterday. he's (probably) my favourite twewy character. i hate his stupid gay ass.

#SORRYYY THIS TOOK TEN MILLION YEARS #i had to laundry and then i Kept Getting Distracted #anyway hiii happi <333 enjoy my nonsense ramblings <333 #ask game #happi-tree #mutuals #kingdom hearts #twewy #sora #joshua
