okay but my main milgram oc "ships" (or relationship dynamics? all of them have some romantic undertones though) are just. so funny because, like, you look at them and go "ohh i know which one is the more chaotic one, the other one probably hates them or they're at least calmer than that person".

like, you have a nerd with a god complex and a loud and friendly band kid, a shy and quiet guy who forgets things easily and a guy who flirts with almost everyone he sees BUT ALSO CAN AND WILL FIGHT YOU, a big sister figure who feels very guilty because of her murder and a girl who is proud of being a serial killer.

BUT YOU'RE WRONG.

akio is actually the one who never shuts up once he warms up to riku and bc he really wants to impress him, he keeps going "hehe have i told you that i was the smartest guy in my class" while riku is like "omg you were?? <3" but he actually HATES akio and wishes eiji and miki would just vote him guilty already.

i can't say much about kei and shun's relationship without spoiling things, but let's just say they're a lot like 0104, but.. shun is not the haruka-coded one.

meanwhile reina and yurika's dynamic is just reina going "sometimes i wonder how i taste" and yurika being like "i can help with that!" and while reina is blushing and she's like "omg.. 😳😳", yurika is like "haha anyway you wanna talk about the chainsaw man pt1's ending"

#and about kei x eiko.. they're like that one annoying couple in high school that's obsessed with pda #also i am so sorry so many of my ocs are similar to muu 😭 #👑prisoner 001: miyagawa akio👑 #🎸prisoner 009: kuroki riku 🎸 #💔prisoner 003: ishizu shun 💔 #🍓prisoner 005: sanada kei 🍓 #🎀prisoner 008: maruyama yurika 🎀 #🎭prisoner 010: himura reina🎭

hello I wanted to request headcanons for reo, shion, nayuta and ryoga with a mc that is so adorable that it's like a stress reliever (for example when you see baby puppies or something cute and you automatically feel happy, yep something like that jsjs ) thanks in advance !~

at peace | various paradox live characters x reader

→ when you are their source of comfort 

→ fluff, g/n reader

→ reo maruyama, nayuta yatonokami, shion kaida, ryoga tosa 

i’m so sorry this is so late! i’ve been so busy, but i hope this meets your standards. thank you again for requesting🫶

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

reo maruyama ♡

~after a hard day at work and school, reo always comes back to you. he lies in your arms feeling refreshed and happy. there is never a time where he doesn’t feel comforted by being near you. he absolutely loves being hugged and cherished by you. he understands he can be needy or whiny, however you always treat him with care. he loves you unconditionally, in a fun and adorable way exactly for that reason. 

“thank you for always taking care of me.” 

nayuta yatonokami ♡

~coming back to you is like coming back home after a long day of work. nayuta has a rough life, especially only living with his brother; however he cannot express how much he appreciates you being there for him. of course he loves his brother and kanata is like being home, but you give nayuta a sense of comfort no one else can give. the comfort you give is unique and makes him forget about all his worries. he feels at peace and loved in your arms. he just cannot wait to come back to your embrace. 

“you’re one of the only blessings in my life.”

shion kaida ♡

~being a prisoner has its own challenges, but when shion can come and see you, he feels as if his world has turned upside down. when you comfort him his view on the world suddenly improves and he believes the world isn’t as bad as it seems. he’s pretty carefree, but as another human being, he has challenges he faces every day. he loves being able to come back to you and smile and know that everything will be okay. 

“you make life worth living.”

ryoga tosa ♡

~ryoga has difficulty speaking and communicating with you so he appreciates when you comfort him with your actions. when you give him a warm hug and simply smile at him, his world becomes brighter. whenever you step into the room, he can’t help but smile at the sight of you. he loves when you’re close to him for that is his ultimate comfort. he cherishes all that you do for him with his whole heart, even if he does not communicate it verbally. 

“thank you for being here.”

OH MY GOD LOOK AT THEM

Ayuri Konno had retired acting but she is back for Kyoryuger’s anniversary 😭💞 and she is STUNNING. We’ve missed Amy

Seeing the Nossan, Souji, and Ian is just incredible.

I’m thinking Souji became a teacher/mentor since we see him in his old school. < NEW HEAD CANON: SOUJI HELPS YANMA IMPROVE HIS SWORD SKILLS >

Love Ian’s new look, one of my fave blacks ever.

Nobu here is as happy go lucky as ever 💙

And as Sentai Twitter said: we’ve got a Prince! The son of our King! (No idea where Daigo is, but we did hear Ryo Ryusei’s voice in the preview, hopefully he’ll show up in this ep, or at least the next one!)

And I wonder where our gold Utchy is :( we briefly see Kyoryu Gold in the trailer, but he doesn’t show up in any preview pics- but his actor Atsushi Maruyama was present in the anniversary shot, so we can’t be too sure he won’t appear in the next few eps- head up guys!

Maruyama Ōkyo (1733 – 1795), born Maruyama Masataka, was a Japanese artist active in the late 18th century. He moved to Kyoto, during which he studied artworks from Chinese, Japanese and Western sources. A personal style of Western naturalism mixed with Eastern decorative design emerged, and Ōkyo founded the Maruyama school of painting. Although many of his fellow artists criticized his work as too slavishly devoted to natural representation, it proved a success with laypeople. (WIKI)

Taking care of flour baby together w/ Hokusai, Satsuki, and Reo?

Hokusai Masaki:

Hokusai didn’t feel any type of way about the project until your name is drawn as his partner, with the flurry of butterflies sinking from his heart to his stomach at the concept of ‘raising’ this flour baby together. He turned to you for most advice as he wasn’t quite sure how to care for the child, helping fill out the homework assignment while he watched you do the parenting. He did put the effort in to follow your example, looking at you with pride when he changed a diaper properly; preparing the bottles, making sure you had everything you needed supplied and ready, Hokusai was a solid, consistent partner during the project. He didn’t seem to mind at all when the baby woke him up either, cradling it gently in his arms and telling it stories from his day.

Reo Maruyama:

Reo will absolutely go around telling people you had a baby together, so prepare for some awkward questions where you have to hastily explain it’s a project for school (with further explanation that the baby is not real). He’s never felt more enthusiasm for a project in his life and he can’t stop talking about how happy he was that you were his partner, saying there’s no one else he’d rather have a baby with. First step is to find fashionable clothing to put on your baby, which you convince him to only get two outfits as they will quickly get stained with flour and also go to waste when your child was taken away at the end of the project. But Reo is a cute pretend father, singing to your child, video calling you as he tucked them into bed at night, he almost seemed like he was losing a real child when the flour sack returned to its rightful kitchen pantry. He does say it was a fun test run for your future family, ignoring the questions with a happy little hum that left you flustered.

Satsuki Ito:

After Satsuki’s initial freakout over the idea of having a baby with you, he promised to be the best temporary husband you’ll ever have (and gets embarrassed when Reo laughed at him for saying that afterward). You’ve never seen him take an assignment so seriously before and he admitted, rather sheepishly, that you being involved made him feel a little more on edge about it; he couldn’t let your grade get negatively effected because of him. There’s a moment where he’s holding your little flour baby and he pictured a mini version of himself with your eyes, nearly dropping your child that was thankfully saved by a stressed looking Zen. With a promise not to let his thoughts run away from him again, he told you that he’d prove what a GREAT husband he could be in the future, sweating and trying to ignore the implications behind what he said.

Who is your favourite OC?

Can you describe them? 🤭♥️

I have a lot but I'll separate them in categories or whatever it is spelled

Bungou Stray Dogs

Makoto Dazai

Makoto Dazai is 8 months younger than Osamu Dazai

Being Ougai Mori's bodyguard, Makoto is in the Port Mafia even after what happened with Oda, he has always and will always stay on Mori's side. His ability makes him able to control rats

Makoto is a trans boy, autistic and blind, also Ougai Mori's height. Osamu is obsessed with him in a way that he overprotects his younger brother

Hiroki Maruyama

Covering his right eye because someone took that eye, Hiroki Maruyama is a 28 years old who shares Chuuya's height

Grumpy former trainer in a yakuza, nowadays works in a brothel but in an AU he's a teacher in a school. He's disabled not only because he sees through one eye that makes his life difficult, he has issues walking and is always using a cane

574

2 meters tall man looks scary but is actually extremely soft

Former trainer in a yakuza, now takes care of the daughter of the boss who died. He's a bodyguard, has always been a bodyguard and is in charge of giving the numbers to the people of his (previous) criminal organization

From 0 to 1.000.000, the closest it is to the 0, the stronger the person is with their ability/skill

Bungou Stray Dogs Beast

Gabriel García Márquez

Inspired in the author of the same name, he's from BSD Beast

He owns a restaurant (cat cafe) with his cousin Ángela Vicario and her husband Bayardo San Román. His ability is inspired in the book Chronicle Of A Death Foretold, he's the same age as Hirotsu

M. M.

Max Gómez

Protagonist of the first part of my original story. Max Multiverse

He's a grumpy teenager in that picture, and uh it's hard to explain his world but I hope the multiverse-thing give you an idea

He's 25% a OC self-insert, I started doing his story when I was literally 4 years old lol

Kid is the vessel of a powerful demon, mother abusive, doesn't know his biological dad is the brother of his dad, has an older brother... Max ended up in an asylum after burning his house with his family in, ended up doing a deal with the strongest demon of them all and bla bla bla

B. A. D.

Jack 4

That draw is old as fuck but he's the Jack of universe 4, from the second part of my original story, Black And Demons

Jacks are demons that are the personifications of traumas in humans, the reason why they are traumas rather than the feeling of fear

Jack 4 is in charge of a place called «The Prison/Jail» where powerful and dangerous being are sent so the multiverse won't be destroyed. Oh and his right hand? Oh it's connected to the place he's also locked in and can't scape

BSD OCs inspired in authors excluding Gabriel García Márquez

Egon Wolff

He's a homeless person inspired of two characters by Egon Wolff. El Merluza in Paper Flowers and China in The Invaders

Ranpo doesn't trust him and is afraid of him

Obey Me!

Zalgo

He's a demon and the personification of fear, inspired in the creepypasta of the same name, Zalgo

He covers his eyes because when people outside his dimension of chaos stare at him, start crying and shaking in fear extremely traumatized

He gets along with Diavolo, met his dad, Barbatos is his best friend and Lucifer doesn't trust him at all

Jujutsu Kaisen

Kiyoshi Hira

Yes the same picture of my profile picture without the cat ears is a JJK OC

Masamichi Yaga's best friend, Kiyoshi isn't a sorcerer or part of the Jujutsu world because he doesn't get along with the people in charge

Kiyoshi hates Gakuganji, Gojo is afraid of him, Kiyoshi had a wife but died because of Gauganji. Yamato is the name of Kiyoshi's only son

His cursed technique makes him able to control cursed energy just by talking, murmuring and screaming. He can extract cursed energy, absorb it, make it part of other living things, and can communicate with cursed spirits and all of it– Uh he almost destroyed the world one time but can't see in one eye and half of his body is paralyzed because of an accident

Nakamura Kichiemon I as Mitsuhide - Natori Shunsen (1925)

Kichiemon, a leading Taishö actor famous for his imperious scowl and proud glare, was well suited to the role of Mitsuhide in the historical play ""The Banner of Rebellion,"" about the tribulations of a royal retainer falsely accussed of treason.

By cropping the composition so that Mitsuhide seems ready to explode, Shunsen conveyed the psychic energy of the enraged warrior. Shunsen, using softly modulated colors in the naturalistic manner of the Maruyama-Shijö school of painting, adapted Western methods of life drawing rendered with light-colored lines that expressed the features of an actor's face more naturally.

Long a popular motif artworks throughout history, the Crane is a widespread symbol of longevity and good fortune throughout East Asia.

In Japan the Crane is the most frequently depicted of birds within the fine arts. Its indigenous title of 'suru' is a homonym of the term 'to fish'.

Several of the best known renditions were executed in the famed 'Edo' period of Japanese art - with artists Ishida Yutei of the Kano school lauded in particular for naturalistic depictions of Flora and Fauna, and his renowned pupil Maruyama Okyo celebrated for a blended style of Eastern and Western painting styles.

The vivid design of a statuesque grouping of Sarus Cranes - a species found across Asia.

hi hi i'm 君たちはどう生きるか posting again! anyways this is mostly plugging the book (to myself also because i haven't read it yet, haha) by going through cool facts on Wikipedia.

following IDs are all screenshots of text from the Wikipedia article for How Do You Live?

ID. After the conclusion of World War II, the book underwent several changes such as vocabulary and was republished in 1945 by Mira-sha Publishers.[5] In practice, that meant removing mentions of imperialism, criticism of capitalism, unpatriotic behaviour, and references to the problems of class.[6] The English translation from 2021 is based on the original. End ID.

idk about you but nothing excites me more than when i get to read something that they wanted to remove "mentions of imperialism, criticism of capitalism, unpatriotic behaviour, and references to the problems of class" from.

ID. This book is one of the "Nihon Shoukokumin Bunko" series that intended to convey knowledge and ideas of free and progressive culture to school children in Japan (Shoukokumin literally means younger citizens). However, many of the works were discouraged by the rise of Japanese militarism in 1930s.[5]

Political scientist Masao Maruyama praised the composition in which a child named Koperu observes reality and naturally portrays the process of discovering various things. He also commends how this complements the main character's discoveries, which are conveyed in the form of letters from the child's uncle. Moreover, the question "How Do You Live?" which is also the title of this book is not only the ethical problem of "how to live", but also about the kind of social scientific awareness to live. It is evaluating the problem of existing.[9]

According to author Yoshino Genzaburō, How Do You Live? was not originally conceived as a literary work, but was intended as a book on ethics. However, according to Takada Riko, this book is also a liberal arts theory written for students of former junior high school during the height of culturalism. Takada focused on the privileged family environment and the "high" social class of the heroes. Those were drawn by the author, who was inspired by the people during his time at Takashi Associated Junior High School (now a high school attached to the University of Tsukuba). He mentioned that this book is intended to resonate with educated boys, which, during that era, was a limited number of privileged citizens.[10]. End ID.

very fancy, very cool. free and progressive culture!! idk what culturalism is lol. evidently Miyazaki was also writing from the "privileged family environment."

ID. Legacy: The novel appears in one of the scenes of the Studio Ghibli animated film also titled How Do You Live?, but titled internationally as The Boy and the Heron (2023). Although the novel appears in-universe and serves as a major plot point, the film is otherwise not connected to the novel and is not an adaptation.[13] The release of the film led to increased sales and reprints of the book in Japan. It was sold in large quantities in the Mercari marketplace app. Iwanami Shoten announced that the total circulation of the book reached 1.8 million copies, making it the number one book on Iwanami Bunko.[14] End ID.

i've heard that obviously the plots are very different but that there are still tons of parallels! definitely not expecting a straight adaptation, they are in very different settings and mediums.

other random thoughts: i should learn japanese lol. and read the original original. fuck hey where do i find this anyways. idk i'll figure it out. do you think the library has this

ok but yes i'm genuinely considering... i got a calendar in mandarin from my mom for christmas... i should brush up my mandarin + my spanish by doing translations... start learning japanese and practice with more translations... to round it out to 5 languages i should also get on russian like i said i would a while ago... i do know the korean alphabet but i can't do the words...

[𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚘 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚒𝚖𝚒'𝚜 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚕 𝟸 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗]

the first t2 interrogation is here! hopefully, it will help you understand their murders and backstories and what kind of people akio and aimi are better because.. this interrogation reveals a lot :)

as always, a reminder that you can send questions for interrogations and some of these questions were also sent by some of you, so thank you so much!

Q.001. What can you tell us about your parents?

Akio: They're very caring and patient with me. They deserve only the best for everything they have done for me.

Aimi: They're very nice, I love them a lot! They can be just a little bit.. What's the right word.. Basically, sometimes it felt like they didn't care about my feelings that much. But it was most likely just them being unintentionally insensitive.. I think.

Q.002. Did you hate your victim?

Akio: How many times I have to repeat it for you? I hated him. I hated him so much.

Aimi: Are we talking about the person that was killed only by me without any help? If so.. I think I started to hate him only a moment before I had murdered him. Saying that I hate him feels so weird, but I think it's time for me to finally be honest with myself.

Q.003. What is your biggest fear?

Akio: Not being good enough.

Aimi: Being left all alone.

Q.004. Would you commit the same crime again?

Akio: .. I don't know.

Aimi: I just couldn't let that person live. So yes, I think I'd still kill him even if I wasn't bullied.

Q.005. Tell us about your accomplice.

Akio: He was weird. But surprisingly charismatic. I think I got to know his true self only when I saw his reaction to seeing Chise's corpse.

Aimi: He was very kind and very caring, I loved spending time with him, he always tried to make every single day of my life as fun as possible! He was.. very overprotective though. That freak wouldn't let me live a normal life.

Q.006. Have you ever had a significant other?

Akio: Fine, if I say yes, will you finally leave me alone?

Aimi: Nope! I was always more interested in making friends, but I'd love to go on a date with someone.

Q.007. Is there anyone you hold in high esteem?

Akio: .. It used to be myself.

Aimi: I don't think so? Ah, I respect Akio-kun a lot, does that count?

Q.008. When do you wake up/go to bed?

Akio: Before Milgram, I woke up at 7 am and went to sleep at 1 or 2 am because of how much schoolwork I had. Now I can't fall asleep at all, so all of that doesn't matter anymore.

Aimi: I try to wake up as early as I can now, so that I can take care of Akio-kun. He barely gets any sleep now.. You will forgive him, right? And I usually go to bed at 10 or 11 pm.

Q.009. How do you feel about your classmates?

Akio: They were always anxious and stressed and under a lot of pressure because we all went to an elite school, so almost all my classmates were obsessed with their grades and being the best students in class. Arata and Chise were the only exceptions and maybe that's why my relationship with them was different from what I had with others.

Aimi: .. When I remember everything they said about me, I start feeling not so good, haha..

Q.010. What kind of person would you want your best friend to be?

Akio: Someone who can make me feel like a god even when I'm not doing well.

Aimi: Someone who never makes fun of me and never tries to take advantage of my weakness.

Q.011. Any complaints about being imprisoned?

Akio: .. Are you kidding me?

Aimi: I think you should do something about Maruyama-san. I don't feel safe with someone like her around.

Q.012. What do you hate the most?

Akio: Being underestimated.

Aimi: People who don't appreciate my kindness. I'm trying so hard to help you, so why do you keep pushing me away?

Q.013. Do you miss your family?

Akio: .. Yes.

Aimi: To be honest, I miss my dogs more, haha.. That's a bad thing to say, right? Like, I told you that I love all of them the last time we did this.

Q.014. What do you want from the guards?

Akio: Don't take Aimi away from me.

Aimi: Please take care of Akio-kun.

Q.015. How did you feel after you have committed your crime?

Akio: I ran away. I couldn't look my accomplice in the eyes after we were done.

Aimi: I felt like I've finally become free, even though I had to pay a high price for my freedom.

#HHHHHHH i can't wait to reveal more about akio and arata's relationship in s3 since akio's t3 mv is actually supposed to be more about that #also. yes akio calls everyone by their last names except people he likes or trusts like arata or aimi #but he still calls chise by his first name and guess what #it's not a mistake. he really is supposed to call him that and i've made it like that on purpose :) #aimi's backstory scares me. so much. #i'm not sure what kind of verdict she will get this time but tbh #i feel like s3 kinda guarantees her an innocent verdict? like she would most likely get voted guilty not bc of her crime- #but bc of her personality and behavior #aimi is against yurika innosweep 😔 #also i got literal chills when i wrote their answers to the 14th question. they are so codependent maybe even more than 0104 #✍️interrogations! ✍️ #👑prisoner 001: miyagawa akio👑 #🌸prisoner 002: hanasaki aimi🌸 #milgram #milgram oc #milgram project #ocgram

Please feel free to share this as you'd like, i'd like for their art to be as accessible as possible
