Chapter 13 of Fates Revelation is a writing highlight for me.
Corrin: What's going on? They're both blaming each other for this carnage.
Azura: Of course. Kingdoms at war will always twist things to benefit themselves.
Ryoma and Xander-representative of Hoshido and Nohr as a whole-uphold the conflict and status quo of the world they live in. Even if it makes no sense, they accept that they're enemies and an enemy must have done something awful to harm the peace.
Even parts of their battle quotes and end of chapter dialogue emphasize this.
Ryoma: It doesn't matter, Kagero. Anyone who doesn't side with Hoshido is the enemy. What will you be?
Xander: Trust her? Don't be a fool. I won't listen to any more of your lies. You've chosen your side—opposite me. Prepare yourself, Camilla.
-
Xander: This isn't over! We'll fight to the very last man!
Ryoma: You won't see Hoshido waver! We'll fight until there's no one left!
Xander: Whoever retreats now admits defeat! Nohr will never lose to Hoshido.
Ryoma: This war will continue until we take our last breath!
They are unable to see any part of a conflict as something with them or against them. Nuance and rationality don't sit well in minds stubbornly steeped in years of animosity. War, hatred, and reinforcing the way things are is something both of them are willing to do, because they see no other path or choice for themselves.
Corrin and Azura meanwhile, actively disrupt their world views.
Corrin: ...You may be my brothers, but I won't go easy on you if you try to stop me! Come, everyone! ... Ryoma! Xander! Please, you both have to listen to me! We've defeated the real enemy—you don't need to fight each other now!
Azura: Ryoma, Xander... It wasn't Nohr or Hoshido who destroyed this town. It was done by the invisible forces that we just defeated. Now that they are gone, I will not allow any more senseless violence. I will sing my song as many times as necessary to restore peace. Do you still insist on fighting?
And it's not empty words or cries that fall on deaf ears. Corrin is strong. Her will is iron-clad, and she will ensure her vision of peace is made a reality, no matter who she makes an enemy of. Azura is strong as well. What she lacks in directing a path on her own, she makes up for with raw resilience and no qualms about using her song-something that risks her life-to end things on her terms.
They force their stubborn older brothers to look at things in a different perspective; to stop trying to hack and slash their lives away and consider a bigger threat to what and who they care about.
While they aren't swayed immediately, they're undoubtedly shaken. After that, it takes personal introspection and uncomfortable truths for each of them to swallow their pride and admit their ways are wrong, and to follow Corrin to end a senseless war.
And I love this exchange at the end as well:
Scarlet: Ryoma's talked my ears off about what happened to you as a kid. You sound like an idealistic brat to me. You want to bring peace to the world? Ha!
Corrin: There's nothing idealistic about ending this horrible war.
REJECT 👏🏽THE 👏🏽 STATUS 👏🏽 QUO 👏🏽!
Accusing others of being naive or idealistic for things like this, in my opinion, shows cowardice, or even ignorance; a life that's been beaten down by other upholders of a terrible state of the world until they agree.
Why is it naive to trust people? Why is it idealistic to want something like endless warring to stop?
We're fed a lie as children: "Life's unfair, you can't do anything about it." Says who!? Why accept that life is cruel and unyielding, when there's so much capacity for good in the world? Is life actually unchangeably unfair in its nature, or is it simply malefactors taking advantage of innocent people in order to rise up to slake their own greed?
Once terrible people get in power, they beat down any forms of resistance and feed this very same lie to them. Worse still, they can even convince the masses to discriminate, fight, and kill each other all so they can swoop in during the aftermath and reap the benefits. And people, at their lowest point, take solace in any explanation-no matter how untrue and no matter who it's coming from-in order to have some semblance of control or direction. That forms their new view of the world.
It takes people who haven't been exposed or raised to believe such nonsense (Corrin) and people who are wise enough to recognize the true problems of the world (Azura), to push against this normalized destruction between two innocent groups of people and direct their ire towards the actual oppressor (Anankos).
It's succint, but scathing. The word choice-in both JP and localization-is too deliberate to consider it a coincidence, I genuinely think it's a good criticism of how our modern world works as well. From a philisophical standpoint it is basic, but Fates as a whole also tackles issues of ignorance/discrimination, xenophobia, the boundaries and meanings of family, who defines justice, the belief of many versus the will of the few, embracing consequences instead of running away, and exploring the concept of leadership in general.
For a game this big, IMO, it meets the mark more often than not when considering the points it wants its audience to hear.

Apart from Hipercy, what are your favorite punch out fics?
im assuming u meant ships right?? IN AAANY CASE, here u go bro !!
Royal army (von kaiser x king hippo) is definitely up there as my favorite PO ship. I love how it started out as a crackship from a joke in animal crossing but then just delved into Whatever the fuck w/ maber KJDHKSJF.
But seriously though !! they just Work somehow... like you have both of them having royal names (albeit i hc hippos is an actual title he carries, and kaisers more of a stage name bc of his interest in royal n military history). Plus, I think kaiser would b very interested in learning more ab hippos culture n hippo would b happy to indulge him. It's what elevates Kaiser from ''just another peasant'' to Hippo as someone who he's willing to talk to! Not many people take his title seriously as hippo island's fairly unknown outside of the south pacific hes from, so when they first meet, Kaiser's a huge breath of fresh air to him.
Seeing as Kaiser is a polyglot as well in my HC, I like to think he was one of the few people in the WVBA who had prior knowledge of Hippo Island and it's language. Although Kaiser can only speak a couple basic sentences and struggles with the pronounciation, Hippo still appreciates the effort. In turn, Kaiser has also taught Hippo some German, the language being easier to Hippo due to the sounds made.
Totally T4T (tism4tism).
ALSO imagine the hippo island kids n kaiser's academy kids going on some type of exchange w/ one another !! theyd have the time of their lives !! The kids would totally get into an argument over who's cooler too.
They're a lot like opposites attracting as well. Hippo, although he is responsible to his people, is generally a lot more easygoing n defo helps kaiser let loose a bit more like how he did in his 20s (berliner party days baybe !!!) But Hippo learns a lot from Kaiser too ! he really admires his work ethic, and loves how much of a leader n fatherly he is to the kids he teaches. He admires his resilience as well, both having confided much into eachother. His resilicience almost like a... MACHINE?!? Either way, both have positions in which they lead in some way, and theyve both taught eachother a lot.
Also they bond over dead mother figures (hippos who died of illness, and kaiser's who went missing when he was very young.)
As for how they'd butt heads, would be kaisers endless need to seek approval due to his dad being emotionally constipated, and hippos occasional emotional outbursts (poor emotional regulation). also hippos friendly teasing (how he shows affection, aside from physical contact) sometimes strikes a nerve w/ kaiser, esp if it's about his age or career.
One time, after a particularly exhausting match, kaiser just fell asleep on hippos lap as the latter was holding him. Aran walked by in disbelief, w/ hippo going ''heh, jealous? ;)'' w/ aran going ''Nah, not at all''
One last thing.... hippo sees kaiser as a kitten (thank you maber for that idea i am obsessed); kaiser's height n physique r significantly smaller than hippo's, leading to hippo often times patting him on the head n even picking him up like he weighs nothing. Kaiser secretly rly likes it, but he won't tell him directly because yknow... hes got a rep to protect.
Tumblr media
^ Kaiser to Hippo
other ships i like include.... Red bull (soda x bull) burnt bread (joe x aran) u can blame charlie for both those (jk jk bro im glad u got me into those ships. But please read his fics, thats how i got into them) and disco kid x heike kagero !!
Red bull is just very neat bc of the whole, in simple terms, sunshine x grump dynamic (and im saying simple terms bc charlie's fics flesh out their relationship A LOT more n its basically the best ok go read his fics), burnt bread bc of how unlikely yet funny it is, and disco x heike bc, eventhough theyve never interacted, you KNOW theyd absolutely be bffs at the very least.

Uhh how each super punch out boxer would die
Ok so I saw what @haterb0y-m0e was doing and I think its very fun and cool but I am absolutely saddened by the fact that they barely put SPO boxers in so fine I'll do it myself
Gabby Jay: He'd die because he started a fight in a mall, he got punched in the head and died on inpact. His last words were "C'mon!!!""
Bear Hugger: He went training with Soda Popinski and tried to fight a polar bear
Piston Hurricane: Died of sadness because no one likes his bum ass
Bald Bull: His bull charge got countered in the ring but he didn't stop running and killed himself and the poor boxer along with 2 others.
Bob Charile: He smoked so much weed he fainted and fell face first.
Dragon Chan: He tried to fight a robber but got shot 12 times.
Masked Muscle: Skinned alive don't ask questions.
Mr Sandman: He'd die due to just old age, no one is gonna try to fight that mf anyway.
Aran Ryan: Went insane (tradition to wii) and eventually killed a dude in the ring because he had horseshoes in his gloves, killed himself in prison.
Heike Kagero: Went to the cum factory and got his hair stuck into the gears which slowly crushed his head.
Mad Clown: Went out cold after being questioned about Jeffrey Epstein.
SUPER MACHO MAN YEAAAAAAAA: All those things he pumped into his body make him age quickier and he died by the age of 37
Narcis Prince: He went insane and died alone after the love of his life Aran Ryan passed in jail
Hoy Quarlow: His ass died of old age.
Rick Bruiser: He also died of old age, again who's gonna fuck with him he's huge
Nick Bruiser: He died of heartbreak after losing the Special Circuit belt, no one could tell for three days because he was standing still per usual

Has anybody ever pointed out that "Kirby's Triumphant Return," the song that, from what I can tell, was originally composed FOR Marx's defeat, plays towards the end of CROWNED? And the Wiki even points out that it's "notably played in its original key like in its Kirby Super Star incarnation?"
Not to me, at least! I’m fascinated though! (Especially as a huge fan of the "not-really-a-true-trio-but-I-get-happy-brain-when-the-three-of-them-interact-in-fan-material" trio of Kirby, Marx, and Magolor.)
Because while it has been tied more into moments of Kirby's heroism (and some stuff w/ Meta Knight) and is basically a leitmotif FOR "Kirby the Hero" it's just interesting to me that it ties back to Marx.
You can say that Nightmare was Kirby's first big world saving Adventure (ba-dump tish) but then, Marx's defeat sort of eclipses (ba-dump tish) that.
But now...
I'm very curious about the origins of its composition! Especially since Sakurai's lore drop about Kagero Mansion made me increasingly sure that Galactic Nova, at least, was originally designed for that sub-game! (Marx COULD have been designed for something else, or even a placeholder boss when they decided to cut the Nova boss fight, but he’s rife w/ horror elements and Kagero was going to be a horror-themed sub-game....) Basically, was there a chance that piece was originally composed for Kagero Mansion as well?
And then, to hear that it's used in its original key for CROWNED (even though it has been used in many other places) makes this fan of the trickster-y duo's heart sing!!  (Brief Aside: I wish we had an easy word like "Donozura"(1) for them in English that’s not their pairing name. < Speaking as someone who loves the pairing too.)
...Until Marx makes any sort of canon return outside the specious circumstances of Star Allies, it's hard to defend this theory, but I really believe that there is SOMETHING important tying Marx and Magolor to Kirby lore. The clockwork star stuff. Ancients. Their connections to Elfilis and Void...
Anyway, I fear that to connect the use of the leitmotif to any deeper associations involved with fighting the two of them steers straight into HC/wishful thinking territory, but I have seen a couple of doujinshi/fan comics that have portrayed Kirby making that internal comparison themself, and I love it. That something about fighting Magolor resembles having to fight Marx. (And it's not just the betrayal. I, personally, think there's a note of tragedy behind them both being warped physically by their own twisted desires. (2))
But yeah! More connections! (...Should I add it to The List...?)
--
(1) "Donozura" is short for (loose EN translation) "What makes you think YOU think you can waltz back in here and call yourself a (Dream) ‘Friend’?!" and is used generally to refer to Marx & Magolor, and sometimes Marx, Magolor, and DMK in the JP fandom.
(2) I've seen the "true form" discussion (aka, that little Marx always looked like Boss Marx that and he was just hiding) and I still lean toward Marx's boss form being somehow related to the power of the Nova. Maybe he could spawn little claw-wings, and the Nova just boosted his power? But I feel like if he were always capable of doing THAT why even get Kirby involved in the first place? You could say he was just lazy, but that feels like an out-of-story excuse.
And there’s also the fact that his most recent appearance, by his own creator, Sakurai, in Smash Bros Ultimate, has him lose the wings and shrink back down to size when he is defeated. If the hell-bat was his default form, why in the world would he transform back into the “illusion” after defeat?
...But I feel the same way about Magolor and "If he were always capable of that kind of magic, why not just take on Landia himself?!" Of course, the novel - which I think is the main source of him always having magic - doesn't confirm he has POWERFUL magic, just that he has a little bit of magic. I mean, all he ever does pre-Crown is a very basic light spell.
(And it's the novel, which is still it's own thing. I think the Star Allies guide, if I recall, supports the "he kept some remnants of the Master Crown's power and that's why he's able to do all this" theory for SA Magolor. Which makes a lot more sense than him always being able to rip holes in the fabric of space.)

A Romantic's Heart
Thanks for the support and patience as always, @mourningstorms! I hope you enjoy the pain, hehehe... *sobs*
Summary: Kagero had served Ryoma well, mind and body, privately and in the battlefield, but that terrified Ryoma more than the nohrians encroaching into Shirasagi. He feared telling her how he felt only for his feelings to be reciprocated out of duty, so he chose to write them down instead, before it was too late...
Commission info HERE and HERE!
______________________________
Sleep had been evasive lately.
In truth, rather than calling it ‘evasive’ it would be better to say that sleep was like a thick smoke. One couldn’t grasp it if one wanted, but once it surrounded you, it would shroud you in darkness, suffering and pain.
Breathing was difficult whenever Ryoma closed his eyes to rest. His heart ached, his head throbbed and his entire body was paralyzed under the pressure of leading a kingdom on its last legs.
Even the act of resting in and of itself could not be called as such, seeing how dark the bags under his eyes had grown over the past few months.
The only thing that allowed him to even seize a moment of restful sleep was if he had embraced Kagero before going to bed. It was the sweet release of a strained mind and body, finally able to relax in one’s beloved arms.
But even so, he would still wake up in the middle of the night, or just a precious few hours after finally succumbing to exhaustion. 
Tonight was one such nights.
He pulled his heavy body to sit up under the covers, his vision blurry as if still settling itself in reality rather than the continuous nightmare that had been following his sleep.
… Hah.
The nightmare followed him in his sleep, rather. Being awake was the same as being plunged into desperation, frustration and resignation. Each step he gave, each breath he took; each moment that passed, he was immersed in a darker and darker environment.
Sakura had been captured by the nohrian army. Hinoka had been deployed to defend the gates of Shirasagi.
And Takumi… he had fallen from the Great Wall, his body nowhere to be found. Ryoma couldn’t say if that was a blessing or a curse in disguise. Should Hoshido fall, the nohrians would never stop hunting the surviving prince until all of the Dawn Dragon bloodline had been vanquished.
As an older brother, Ryoma wanted his younger sibling to live, of course. He wanted him to be happy, marry a woman he loved and make a wonderful family. In the furthest corner of his heart, Ryoma hoped that Takumi would be alive and away from all that fighting and death.
And yet, as a prince and regent to Hoshido, Ryoma wanted all of his family to take up arms and fight for the sake of their kingdom; for their duty. As a samurai, Ryoma had undying loyalty and unshakable discipline towards his role as a royal. It was shameful, as a brother, to even entertain the thought that he would rather Takumi have died proudly after fulfilling his role than to hope that he was alive and away from the war.
But there were many such thoughts he would never disclose to anyone inside his heart.
A small puff from Kagero’s moist and alluring lips brought Ryoma back from the spiral of negativity being awake had thrown him into. She moved ever so slightly, her warm and soft arm around his thigh as if she was burrowing in his chest.
A smile cracked his hardened face as he tucked a few strands of hair behind her round, perfect ear. The moonlight shining through the sliding paper door made her skin glisten in an ethereal, magical way.
Truly, had it not been for her; had it not been for her suggestion on that dreadful, rainy day, Ryoma’s mind would have collapsed a long time ago.
He would still remain the same outwardly — he would do his duty as a samurai, as a prince, as a man in a war, but he would not see hope, nor beauty.
His prickled heart that had crumbled to dust since his teenage years would not have been able to keep sane had it not been for her.
Slowly, Ryoma slipped out of the futon, double checking to see if Kagero was still asleep before silently moving to the next room. In the back of his mind, he couldn’t help but wonder if she was truly asleep or if that was another way of her ‘serving’ him, by pretending to be vulnerable so as to make him feel that he had the upper hand in their relationship.
… That made him sick to his stomach, truthfully, but Ryoma could not fathom a world where Kagero was sincere in their interactions. He couldn’t see her being truly just a woman, just his woman, and him being just hers.
She was too perfect in her role; too perfect in her servitude; too perfect in her… everything.
She shone so brightly even in that dimly lit room; her hair was so silky to the touch and her skin was so soft and warm and…
Ryoma sighed, sitting down by a desk as he lit a small candle on the opposite side of the sliding paper door so as not to disturb Kagero’s… sleep.
Unbeknownst to the prince, or rather, as he expected, Kagero wasn’t asleep at that moment and had moved deliberately to shake him out of the spiral of negativity he had thrown himself into, but as neither of them would mention it, it would simply remain as if it had never happened. Much like everything that happened between the two of them since time immemorial.
Ryoma pulled a sheet of paper and a brush to write, stealing glances at the door to the room he had left ajar.
For weeks, for months, for years he had wanted to put his feelings towards Kagero to words, to whisper them on her skin and hear a trembling sigh escape her lips in response.
Each time their lips met; his rough and hers smooth and soft, he wanted to utter the words. Each time he traveled his hands through her body and stole a reaction out of her; each time he moved inside of her and felt her welcome him with ease and delight… Each time she moaned his name in his ear and dug her nails on his scarred back…
Each time he looked at the eyes that felt so deep that they reflected a face Ryoma could only ever see when looking at her… Each time she licked her lips before uttering a word, or each time she took up arms to defend him… Each time, each time, each time…
Each little action of hers warranted such controlled reaction out of him.
He wanted to tell her he loved her, he wanted to tell her he could not think of a world where they weren’t together; he wanted to tell her how deeply, deeply precious she was to him.
Oh, how he wanted to tell her!
But whenever the words got stuck in his throat, whenever he was lost in her heat that the words almost slipped out of his tongue, he remembered.
He remembered how perfect she was. He remembered how perfect she was as she ‘served’ him.
It terrified him to no end to think that she could smile and embrace him while saying ‘I love you too,’ and call him ‘Lord Ryoma’ with the next breath. Even as he lost himself in their lovemaking, he could never truly lose all of the control.
He could never allow the words to escape. Not through his lips.
Ryoma picked up the brush.
But there had to be some kind of outlet for his feelings, as trifling as it might sound.
So he would write. He would write a letter with all of his feelings towards her, but the recipient wouldn’t be Kagero.
No, oh no.
That letter would never see the light of the day. It would remain with him, by his heart, much like his bottled up feelings, and it would die with him and the time came.
The tension eased on Ryoma’s shoulders as he thought about the ultimate outcome of the war. If Corrin was still the person Ryoma thought he was deep down, then… He would have no regrets.
For now, however, Ryoma dipped the brush in the inkpot.
The first time they met, they were children.
She, as one to be trained into a shinobi, was a quiet and disciplined little girl, who never looked him in the eyes nor spoke out of turn whenever they were together.
He, as the heir to the throne, had already been introduced to the other retainer from an even earlier age, so seeing the soft-looking, peach-colored cheeks of the little girl, he felt a strange twinge in his heart.
She looked more like someone who would need his protection instead of the other way around, but Ryoma kept such thoughts to himself.
Thinking about it now, it was amusing to see how she had caught his eyes from such an early age. She looked like just a small little thing, demure and wordless but with the determination to fill in her brother’s shoes.
He did not think about her again after they met for the first time.
The second time they met, they were teenagers.
Kagero had returned to the village to undergo training and came back with a sharper look in her eyes and a softer curve around her body.
Ryoma had avoided looking her in the eyes ever since.
After all, no matter how good a head one had on their shoulders, one could never be 100% always in control. Ryoma strained himself, mind and body, in his succession studies and martial training, even more so after Sumeragi’s demise and Corrin’s abduction.
Kagero’s support through such trying times was both a blessing and a curse. Seeing how good she was at her role, it prickled the prince’s conscience to barely spare her a glance despite her impeccable results.
The slower the years dragged on, the harder it was for Ryoma to look her way, until one night, he saw it fully.
The moonlight glistening on her perfect skin; the hair that cascaded down so beautifully through her shoulders and bosom; the slightly parted lips that caught her breath after training… The softness of the body that had unfortunately been clothed…
The first time they did it, they were seventeen.
A perfect, dreadful night, filled with their mingled breaths and shared warmth.
That night had been the beginning of the end for Ryoma.
Looking back now, Ryoma wrote with a self-deprecating smile, he had been such a terrible master. He had looked down on her, felt attracted to her and then slowly came to love her. 
He could hardly remember a time when he didn’t love her. Even now, as he thought back on it, he couldn’t help but think of her small self as precious and cute. He somehow wanted to go into his own memories, pick her up and bite her cheeks.
He wanted to return to the first time they met and take her hand and pull her into a big hug.
He wanted to return to the second time they met and properly look her in the eye; he wanted to take in her youthful beauty and abundant allure and he wanted to claim her as his even as they had just reunited.
Ryoma thought back on each and every one of their interactions.
The times she illuminated the room by simply existing inside of it, or by being so still he couldn’t even hear her breathing while still looking so ethereal and incredibly, incredibly precious.
Even the rare times she looked embarrassed after accidentally showing him her art were enough to take Ryoma’s breath away as he wrote.
Your flushed cheeks, the brush flowed through the pages, were to be kept in the royal vaults of my heart, locked away with my most precious memories.
He had seen all that could be seen from her; all that she had allowed him access to, had been claimed to himself in his memories. He remembered each and every single time they had been together, putting them down on his brush as he described how he had felt then, and how he still felt that way even now.
No, he felt even more strongly now. With each passing second and each soundless breath they took, with each new glance he stole in her direction, his feelings grew.
He wanted to lie down beside her and run his hands through her hair; he wanted to count each strand on top of her head and kiss every single one of them, to mark all of her as his. He wanted to grip on her soft skin and leave his prints on her; he wanted to take away her breath inside his lips and never, never allow those lips to be unkissed again.
He wanted to look into her eyes and not see himself in their reflection, but see the Kagero she truly was behind her servitude. He wanted to talk about her art and wanted to be the safe haven she would return to.
He wanted to be her rock, her basis, her everything. He wanted to be her everything, but her master.
Oh, how he wanted them to have met under different circumstances… How he wanted her to see him as an equal, or at least as a simple man, and give him her heart much unlike how she had stolen his and kept it within her bosom.
Here in this room, he wrote, glancing at her sleeping figure behind the paper door, you are my only comfort as I chase down my demons.
Ryoma had to clutch his chest once he stopped to dip the brush into the ink again. Writing had always been the way he chose to allow his feelings to run free, but even that was proving to be difficult now, as it was regarding Kagero.
He had so much to say. So much to share with her.
He would genuinely write as if he intended on giving her the letter, just so he could give solace to the heart that had given up beating for anyone other than her. He would write, he would confess, he would pour out everything that he had been keeping to everyone but his own thoughts… and then he would bury it with him, as he had done all his life.
Just the thought of having such feelings out of his chest in any way or another already made the burden on his shoulders lighten, even if only slightly.
His throat dry, Ryoma took a short breath before committing to the letter, taking occasional glances to the gap in the door as if he would be able to see the sleeping Kagero behind it.
True to her role, Kagero kept her peaceful sleeping figure as she heard the sound of the brush sliding across the paper and the careful way her master breathed so as not to disturb her sleep.
Her heart shook as she thought herself presumptuous for even thinking that he was doing so out of consideration for her and not just because he was a careful person to begin with.
Regardless, as Ryoma wrote and his heart’s burden lessened, Kagero waited in her ‘sleep’, sometimes moving to seem more natural.
Hours upon hours passed, as dusk slowly turned to dawn, Ryoma wrote and Kagero waited.
Once he finally bound the letter with string and kept it inside his hakama, the first signs of sunlight could be seen in the horizon.
Still, it was too early even for the soldiers to get up, or for a new shift to take place with the guards. It was a time where they were still two people, a man in love and a woman in servitude, to stay under the cover for a few hours more.
Ryoma got up, blew the candle out and moved to the next room with muffled steps, crouching to the futon as if he was a different man.
He looked at the sleeping woman, the one who could bewitch him with a simple flick of her fingers, and placed both hands on either side of her head.
His hair cascaded down between them, tickling Kagero’s forehead and nose. She puckered her eyebrows in response, groggily opening her eyes — it even made Ryoma believe that she had just woken up, making him berate himself for even thinking that she had been faking her sleep the whole night.
Once she focused on him, her lips parted in a smile, but before she could call his name — with the ‘Lord’ attached to it — Ryoma called her first.
“Kagero.” His voice slipped into her ears and reverberated through her whole body, making her hair stand on end. She inadvertently bit her lower lip in response, then smiled as she sluggishly wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Yes,” she replied simply, arching her back so as to pull him down to her, something new she had never done before.
Apart from that dreadful, wonderful night she had asked him to use her, Kagero had never once taken the initiative in their lovemaking. It was always Ryoma who sought her out first; it was always Ryoma who kissed her first; it was always Ryoma who took her hand first and took her to bed, even though she had always been ready for it.
This time, as if still drunk on the feelings he had poured into the ink, Ryoma’s heart fluttered once her lips touched his first. He closed his eyes to enjoy the softness of her tongue exploring his mouth, pulling the covers away from her body so their heat could conjoin.
Kagero did not think of the letter. She figured it was Ryoma working into the night as he had done many, many times in the past, even before she started constantly serving him. So she did not think of the letter, nor did she imagine that it was something for his eyes and her heart only.
She simply kissed him because he looked at her like she was her whole world. In the twilight where she couldn’t see herself reflected in his eyes, she saw him as a man that looked at her so desperately, so longingly, so… adoringly that she couldn’t help herself.
In her mind, she justified it as her doing what he looked like he wanted her to do, but in her heart she knew she was acting on impulse. She knew she was doing it because she wanted to, rather than because he needed her to.
She wanted to be embraced in his strong, tanned arms. She wanted him to kiss her like he was a parched man in a desert and she was his only lifeline. She never wanted to leave these covers… if only their time together could stretch into the beyond.
So, she kissed him. And she held him and called his name, seducing him in the way she had been trained to, but also in the way she knew he would like.
It wasn’t about training or serving anymore, but without either of them knowing as their bodies mingled and their feelings clashed, never able to truly connect, they loved each other without realizing it.
The day the nohrians breached Shirasagi and wandered around its corridors, Ryoma’s heart was frighteningly calm. He sat alone in the throne room’s anteroom, with one hand over his chest — over the letter he never left out of his reach.
That was his last stand. His last stand as a prince, as a regent, as a man, as a samurai. He could still feel the touch of Kagero’s skin on his as a way to placate his once thunderous mind. Raijinto stood silent inside its scabbard, as opposed to how it had been shaking violently as Yato — and Corrin — approached, as if mirroring its master’s mind.
Everything would end today, one way or another. Whether this battle ended in defeat or victory, there would be an end today.
An end to the fighting, hopefully; an ending to the war, preferably. An ending to all conflict, ideally.
An ending to the crumbling of Ryoma’s heart.
It was unlikely, however… However, if Ryoma walked out of this room alive today, he would give Kagero the letter, but he wouldn’t give her the time to read it.
He would tell it all from his own lips. He would tell her, he would revere her and he would kiss her until they were both out of breath. He would embrace her not as a master, but as a man holding his beloved woman; and oh, oh he would never, ever let go of her again.
He would not give her time to speak, nor would he give her time to think. He would seize her and keep her by his side until she shed the skin of the shinobi and allowed the woman underneath to reply. He would love her and, by the gods, he would want nothing more than to be loved in return.
Perhaps that was the reason his mind was so calm.
Resignation and resolve had clashed for so long within his mind and heart that now there was only the calm before the storm.
He could hear the nohrian’s stomps tainting the palace he had protected his whole life, but he simply closed his eyes, clearing his mind of all thoughts.
All but one thought.
He could feel both of his retainers’ gazes from the adjacent rooms, but most of all Kagero’s. He felt her anxiety and her loyalty; he even still felt the grip of her hands on his, as recent as if they had just parted.
As the stomps neared, Ryoma’s stance hardened.
Corrin was the first one to open the door, bringing in the fresh air that made the flames of the candles swirl around Ryoma.
“You have done well, so far,” he got up, unsheathing Raijinto, fueling the flames with its lightning. “No more games! To the death!” He roared.
His resolve unshaken, Ryoma fought with everything he had. Kagero and Saizo protected the contraptions allowing passage to the throne room, so even if he perished there, they were the last line of stand. Thinking that Kagero would still remain even after his demise brought him comfort, somehow.
It was hypocritical of him to think so, especially after thinking that it would have been better if Takumi had died fulfilling his duty, but… He did not want Kagero to die.
No, he did not believe she would die, honestly.
She had always been so perfect it wouldn’t be strange to see her survive this siege and remain in hiding with other ninjas waiting for the best moment to strike again. He knew she was loyal to him to the point of giving her life, but she was also loyal to the crown itself.
She would live.
The weight of the letter increased as the fight progressed; as one contraption — the one Saizo protected — fell and the nohrians entered the room to aid Corrin, the weight increased. As Ryoma’s body was covered in wounds, the weight of the letter made him kneel and hold his heart as his breath shook.
Blood pooled around him, but he used Raijinto as a support to keep himself from falling.
Oh, Kagero, how he wanted to look for her one last time.
He wanted to take a last look at her and call her name.
He wanted to hear his name in her loving lips, without his title attached to it.
Breathing heavily, Ryoma did not dare hope as Corrin preached about ending the war without killing him.
He did not dare hope to deliver this letter.
He did not dare hope to live, especially after King Garon arrived and ordered Corrin’s blade to fall.
No, he would not dare hope.
He had only one wish, and it could never be fulfilled. Instead, he sat back down and pulled Raijinto out for one last swing.
Yet, as the human mind was full of contradictions, he couldn’t help but wish for more.
He couldn’t help but want Kagero to have escaped. He did not want her to witness his end.
For once, he wanted her last memory of him to be the night they shared together, as a simple man and a simple woman finding solace in one another’s embrace. He wanted her to live and stay out of the nohrian’s path, whichever that might be.
He wanted to hold her just one last time… but the only warmth he would feel now would be from Raijinto’s thunder.
It was a pity, really, that the letter would remain undelivered. It would truly die here with him, along with his feelings. Charred, just like his crumbling heart.
Still, Ryoma couldn’t help but still hope.
“I leave everything to you,” he murmured to Corrin before the world turned dark and his body hardened in position.
In his last moments, he felt the weight of the letter to be unbearable, but he had no strength to take it out of his chest. Instead, he simply looked up to his sobbing younger brother, wondering if his words got through.
Could she ever get that letter? Charred, bloodstained as it had been? If only his feelings went through to her, even after death, he would still be content.
To be able to finally be free to tell her he loved her, even if not through his own lips.
His brush would forever tell her, over and over again as she read through the letters, until it finally got through her shinobi mask and into her womanly heart. He would assure her of his feelings and wish they were reborn again, together as equals this time, and ask for her hand as he had never managed to in this life.
He would hold her and laugh with her; he would hear her giggles and brush his hands through her perfect hair… Ah, what a perfect life that would have been.
Ryoma had never thought of himself as a romantic, but a romantic’s heart beat inside of him whenever the wind blew through Kagero’s hair. A romantic’s heart beat inside of him whenever she turned around when he called her name.
It beat inside of him whenever her hands brushed past his in her duty; it beat inside of him whenever their eyes met and his lovesick gaze was reflected in hers.
It beat inside of him even when she wasn’t near, as the memory of her fluttered inside his chest and flared up his body in a way only her ever, ever could.
It beat inside of him for one last time as he closed his eyes, strangely warm in his death, and he remembered the day she had kissed him on her own. She looked up at him like he was her everything; like she had woken up from a nightmare into a dream because he was right there with her. She embraced him like he was her lifeline; like everything he had poured into that letter had gotten through to her and she answered him with her actions and her body.
It beat inside of him one last time as his lips drew her name before his eyes closed forever.
“Kagero,” he murmured, smiling as if seeing her welcoming him in a field of flowers.
His heart that would never beat again weighed heavily on the letter that remained in chest, forever to be unseen by its true recipient.

“Hello there, I’m Kaya! I saw the list of tragedies that happened to the Branch A boxers, and sorry to be a bother- But I’d really really like to know about the blight of the other branch as well (seeing as I’m not quite familiar with most of them, heh-) Thank you!” - Kaya 🌙
"Pleasure to make your Acquaintance, Ms Kaya! Now, this is a bit of a sensitive topic for a few of our boys so word of this must stay between me and you, Okay?
Now, here we go, hope you're ready..."
TW: SENSITIVE TOPICS
Birdie Blue: His family has an unfortunate gene that means they contract sickness a lot easier and are generally unhealthy. Birdie was lucky enough to not get these genes or fall into those habits, but he soon became the only able bodied person in his family and soon had to be at the beck and call of everyone, as early as the age of 7. He ran away shortly after and moved to Louisianna.
Gabby Jay: A Happy life with a beautiful wife and family. However, one day he became very ill and had to be taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Luchemia. He was given treatment for it and soon recovered thought slowly, returning home to find his wife was with another man and planning to leave him on the basis of him dying of his illness. She left with her new wife and the kids shortly after that, leaving a heartbroken and still recovering Gabby behind in shambles.
Piston Hurricane: Hurricane himself is very quiet, never speaking. No one knows why, and any bit of his past life isn't on record either. Rumor has it though that due to past trauma he became Selective Mute. No one can confirm if this is true and frankly, Desire prefers it stays this way.
Bob Charlie: One of the only ones in the WVBA with a relatively peaceful life. The worst thing that could've happened to him was that he banged his knee on the kitchen counter...dòt salo
Dragon Chan: His family home in Hong Kong resided by a huge factory, the place practically leaked pollutants and thus caused their home to become polluted, making it unsafe. As they were trying to evacuate the house, Dragon's eldest nephew got lost in the fumes and died to the poison. He and his family all soon left for America, but a year later he would return in the hopes of restoring his home to its former glory.
Masked Muscle: He grew up very poor and saw a lot of violence as a kid. He soon grew into this violent facade during his teen years and became quite the troublemaker for not only his town but his family, who had to bail him out of jail one too many times. He's grown to control this anger but every now and again he can lash out unexpectedly.
Heike Kagero: Born in a very prestigious family and moving to America at a young age, Heike had lost a lot of knowledge of his own heritage. This became a bigger problem as, at 19, he was set to marry many gorgeous Japanese suitors, all of whom were not just older than him, but proud and very traditional. This has caused him to become very insecure about his lack of knowledge around his own culture.
Mad Clown: He grew up in a loving home of performers, from many different branches. He got himself into the Opera, but when he grew tired of it and ran off to join the circus he found that life even more monotonous, causing him to become very grumpy and unnecessarily aggressive towards others. Due to this he doesn't have a lot of friends and lots of folks at the WVBA tend to avoid him.
Narcis Prince: He grew up very privileged and isolated from others. He grew up setting very high standards for himself others. This made him become a bit of a recluse, which lead to him struggling to make friends or even holding conversations with the people in his work space. He wants to try and be better at this, but it's a struggle for him to try and "lower his expectations" so he doesn't really bother.
Hoy Quarlow: Poor Quarlow was apparently burdened with a terrible secret that, according to him, if it ever got out, it would tear the WVBA apart. He won't specify what but based on how he looks at the ropes, I have a general idea...
Rick Bruiser: A generally happy fellow, there isn't a lot really WRONG in his life, however he has said several times how he misses his brother and wishes he would come back. He has admitted that both of them grew up in a very unforgiving household, and that Nick had to do something unspeakable to their parents, which caused them to run away when they were both in their teens, and he misses having that comfort of his brother beside him. He even mentioned that he gets scared that something will happen and the two will be separated again...guess he isn't as invulnerable as we thought...
Nick Bruiser: [REDACTED]

Revice charm seems to be wearing off you... but hopefully up until the very end, we don't run out of sakuhana, and ikki (and vice?) being sweet
i wish i was still excited about it but i just don't know what to make of it at this point. it's dropped the ball on so much of what made it interesting to me in the first half and its current focus is on a lot of stuff i just don't care about (weekend shenanigans, daiji's problems disorder, vail being a big ball of nothing). hanasaku is absolutely iconic and the most consistent part of the show, but as much as i love them i want like. more? i wanted more insight into ikki and how vice's violent tendencies represented the resentment he felt, i wanted george to follow through on some of the shadier aspects of his character rather than generic dad angst, i wanted kagero to be something
i don't hate revice and i genuinely don't like ragging on it, but it's one of the biggest cases of "im not mad, just disappointed", ya know? there was so much promise in the first half and it still has moments of brilliance but it just falls short on the whole. im really hoping it can end on a high note but this 3rd of the show has been a real slog and i don't think there's much they can do to retroactively justify it

But what are the Lacie x Yuu Squad ship dynamics? 👀
So, Lacie is definitely the stand in for a lot of ships I have with my ocs to see different dynamics with them. So if y'all see a dynamic you like (whether its for Lacie or one of the people she's with, feel free to send in a request) just for fun gonna do her with all of my ramshackle babes
Yuuto x Lacie
Skater couple, though jokingly I see Lacie with roller skates circling Yuuto to mess with him. They definitely form a cuddle pile with Scarum and Grim between them in Yuuto's daily naps. Lacie is very flirty, Yuuto is deadpan to all of them. He's one for soft affection that blindsides Lacie and makes her blush (they also get some angst with how I "end" their story)
Pyxis x Lacie x Nova
Pyxis/Nova are different people but share a body (not DID, literally Nova possesses Pyxis's body). With Pyxis, she's his prince. They quote plays to one another. Sometimes Pyxis is too much and Lacie will shut him up with a kiss before going back to her lollipop. Nova is definitely harder for affection. Lacie will ask for some and he refuses before suddenly kissing her deeply with a "There, happy?"
Kagero x Lacie
They enjoy their tea times together. Kagero can calm her down by talking about his world or by going full water dragon and taking her for underwater rides. He has made it so she can stay underwater (think mermaid lore)
Aspen x Lacie
The Sofie to his Howl. She puts up with how dramatic he is, and he'll melt into her because he's not used to people staying. He let's her braid his hair and will show basic spells to her in hopes of her getting more magic capabilities.
Makaio x Lacie
Two bubbly people who are total sunshine together. They're the couple who are always happy, watch Maka dance with her on the beach/shallow water. He also gets her shells that remind him of her.
Doll x Lacie
Cold and composed Doll, slowly lightening up with Lacie. While they are still unsure of what they are, they are sure they can trust Lacie. They help Lacie when she remembers her life/death. Lacie has a habit of getting herself in trouble and they are intimidating enough to easily get her out of it.
Des x Lacie
The artist and the musician. I can see Des pulling out a sketchbook every time he sees Lacie sing to just draw her since he finds it breathtaking. Lacie bugs him while he bakes and often is greeted by a bit of whipped cream put on her nose.
Amias x Lacie
The yandere and the one who will make use of his obsession. Amias didn't like Lacie at first but quickly became obsessed with her. Lacie is no submissive innocent girl, she knows how he works. She does have feelings for him, but its uncertain if this relationship is built on love or control.
Rei x Lacie
When they first saw Lacie they hid. But Lacie was the first of Yuu squad to notice their fox statue and the state it was in. While cleaning the statue Lacie would talk to it which slowly drew Rei out. Soon they grew close, spending more time in a physical form to talk to her. The relationship is built on soft affection and Lacie kissing them on the mask most of the time.
Ezra x Lacie
Ezra already felt the worst for Lacie, he was always more protective of her than the others due to only other female Yuu (his sister) going mad. When he found out her death before her he made himself more available to her. Even giving her one of his feathers so if she needed him she could call him. His love language is acts of service which he happily does for Lacie. A very elegant couple.

18 and 28 for the fates asks if you're still doing them (:
18. Favorite VA performance?
Leo without a doubt literally so obsessed with his “I will erase you!” crit. Superb job all around but the way he says that just gives me dopamine. A lot of the vas did do excellent jobs tho both with cutscenes, confessions & crits!! I love hayatos “goodbye.” one its so funny & Anthony Del Rio does a great job with Silas & Percy. especially Percy’s “I’m feelin lucky!” line :)
28. Who did you marry the first time? (Multiple answers for each route are fine)
I can’t remember very well but I’m 90% sure I married Jakob my first Revelations run bc inevitably you get his supports & I thought they were funny. Also give Dwyer a younger sibling.
I think I married Kagero on my first birthright run bc my sibling was like if you wanna be a guy do it but I wanted Kanna still so otherwise if I had been a girl Kaden would’ve been my first ever fe marriage but I put off finishing BR for so long so Kagero was like my third. I do love Kagero she’s my everything <3
Married Laslow predictably in conquest. First ever FE guy I married! I was so tempted to do Keaton but I’ve always loved flirty characters :D

Ok again saying this as someone unfamiliar with the characters and ‘main ships’ of the fandom.
im guessing saizou/Ryoma for #1? This is based off of their supports being the only ones ive read and and bc of a fan translation i saw once. I know saizou’s a guard so maybe his clan served the royal family and thats his hereditary position (to serve the royal family) (and maybe he hung out w/ Ryoma in his youth? based off of your quotes underneath) It also might be another retainer of Ryoma ’s, i think his female retainer is an ex of his? But im kinda flying off the assumption the ship is mlm based off the pics. Also that its Ryoma related cause its the first one lol
#2 is m/f im guessing, could also be Ryoma and his ex retainer (can u tell i do not know any female characters outside of the royal families) Anyway the aesthethic seems very angsty, id say its a battle couple but thats every fe couple 😅
#3 genuinely no ideas, but i think its f/f. I like the herb and lights motif, its cool and feels like a very coherent aesthetic. Your hint talks abt compulsory heterosexuality so one of the characters was probably involved in an arranged marriage once
#4 f/f definitely royal and nohr. Kinda surprising to me, i mean wedding rings? Soon to be married in the fic? Good for them i think
#5, f/f dont think its royal but i wouldnt be surprised if some noblewoman was involved (see. emblem wax letter). I know a tiny bit abt the retainers, i think severa might be involved in this one bc the quotes are so feisty? maybe not feisty but the manner of speaking is harsher and self conscious. Kinda lost pairing wise but #5’s hint makes me go “aww’ when i think about it
#6 m/f Hoshido guy, maybe nohr girl (<- gender guess)? Bc of the clothing style and piano. Also do not know what the hint is referring to but the hoshidan might be another ninja guy? I think the one im thinking of is related to saizou? 
Notes: ok i almost definitely lost which one Corrin’s in. i think she’ll get a love interest in the fic but maybe not? I feel like if either Ryoma or corrin get a partner then that means the other will probably get one too. Silas feels like a romancable guy to me (only knowledge of him is that hes super loyal to Corrin) or felicia? I think theyre both her most loyals (not necessarily in a slash/Corrin way, but they probably showed up on the list) i dont think lilith will get a love interest, at least not now, i think she has some inner turmoil she has to fix first. sorry for the lengthy ask lol
This ask is in relation to the Blood-Splattered Child Ship Aesthetic Guessing Game.
The fact that you're unfamiliar honestly is just part of the fun! The main ships of Fates can vary, but honestly they're majorly the royals amongst themselves lol. And no worries about long asks, I absolutely love them.
FOR #1:
You are correct in your answer that Ryoma is involved with this pairing and that it is an m/m pairing. The game also mentions that Saizo's position as retainer actually does seem to be at least somewhat hereditary. His father, Saizo the Fourth, served Ryoma's father, King Sumeragi. So your assertion about that part of the game without knowing it is totally correct! We don't know for sure if Ryoma and Saizo spent a lot of time together as children, but I always sort of headcanon that they did. The other retainer you're thinking of is Kagero, who is actually not Ryoma's ex but Saizo's. The two of them dated for awhile, but could not reconcile differences over their jobs, so they broke up. Still, Kagero remains one of the most popular choices of partners for Ryoma, as it gives his son Shiro his “canon” hair colour and makes him a strong fighter.
Overall, I would say you're hotter than you are colder, but I wouldn't say you're boiling.
FOR #2:
You are correct in seeing this as an m/f pairing that is a total battle couple. Once again, you are correct in your assertion that the pairing contains Ryoma. Yeah... I'm going to be playing with his relationships a fair bit in Blood-Splattered Child. I mean, c'mon. Romantic relationships are one of the biggest areas for abandonment anxiety to crop up, so in pulling Ryoma through his journey, it just makes sense to toy with them a bit (I promise there's no annoying love triangles though). You are also correct that there is applicable angst to this couple, in fact I believe my planned set up for them to have one of their major romantic moments is just dripping in heartwrenching angsty goodness.
You're very close with this one, but it's not fully reflective of Kagero. The second character in question is a bit more in touch with her femininity, while still being a capable fighter.
FOR #3:
You're correct in your assertion that this pairing is f/f. These characters have somewhat contrasting yet linked together aesthetic motifs, which made their board kind of fun to come up with. Neither of the characters were ever actually involved in an arranged marriage, though. But thank you for your compliments on the aesthetic! I paid extra attention to this one.
FOR #4:
You're half-right on this one. You're right that it's royal, and it does involve Nohr... but the pairing is actually only half Nohrian. I won't say for sure what the other half is, but it could be Hoshidan, Vallite, Ice Tribe, Wind Tribe, or Flame Tribe.
For this one I will also note:
Tumblr media
Sometimes you have to fake a relationship to get those pesky advisors off your back, right? Is this a pairing born truly from love, or just a farse? Or is it a farse that turns to love?
FOR #5:
You're right on the money when it comes to this one being F/F. The classes of the two characters involved are quite prominently represented on the board in some places if that gives you any more of a hint. The pairing doesn't quite involve Severa, but does involve a character who has a similarly distinct physical characteristic. It also remains, at minimum, an at least half royal pairing.
You're colder on this one, but that is totally okay!
FOR #6:
I'm glad you picked up on the clothing styles being relevant! Nohr is involved in this one for sure. The piano was picked specifically for that purpose, actually. While growing up in Nohr, it is said that Corrin actually learned to play the piano, so I thought it made sense to highlight as something distinctly "Nohrian". It is overall a Hoshido/Nohr pairing as you guessed, but it's actually not m/f. The character you were thinking of, though, is named Kaze (called Suzukaze in the Japanese version) and is Saizo's younger twin brother.
Per your comment about Corrin, you're right to be confused. I actually didn't end up including Corrin's, because I'm still working out what I'm going to do with it. Accounting for the way Revelation ends, Corrin's presence in the fic is one of sort of... impermanence? She will appear many times, both at the beginning part and later on, but she's much more bouncy than the cast of characters that live in Hoshido. So while I do have characters in mind for a pairing with her, I don't know how much spotlight they will get, so I opted not to put hers in. Don’t want to bait any excited fans, right?
That being said, Silas and Felicia are both wonderful guesses. Silas remains my first choice husband when I play Fates, so I've grown quite fond of their relationship. M/M or M/F, that pairing is just good stuff. As for Felicia, I think she might be my favourite FE character ever and I love her with all my heart, so she's also a great choice in connection to her relationship with Corrin. I actually recently started working on another playthrough of Birthright since it's been awhile, and you'll never guess who my wife is (it's her, she's adorable)!
Also, you're totally right about Lilith. There is some other stuff going on with her, so there's no time for smooches right now.
Thanks so much for taking the time to guess!! I was a little worried that no one was interested in giving it a shot (which would've been okay, but I would've felt silly about it), so I truly and deeply appreciate it! Have a good rest of your day.

Like you mentioned it seems the relation with own demon is really complex.. we can see it in kagero-daiji and ikki-vice situation.. makes me wonder is there anything like that with sakura-lovekov?-Hiromi anon
Ahhhhhh, yesssssir.
See, I have a theory about this. I said a fews ASKs ago that I was gonna copy and paste the essay so might as well just go ahead and do that here LOL.
In light of the insanity of episode 31--I truly think that each of the siblings have like a 2 part arc they each need to fulfill.
(Idk maybe more than that 🤷‍♀️).
Ikki's first arc I'd say is split into two parts:
Arc 1: Trust & Worth.
He had to learn to (1) trust his siblings to be able to handle themselves
and (2) To trust himself (Vice lol). Which came to completion in episode 13.
Tumblr media
The worth part he's still working on
but he IS slowly coming around to the fact that y'know there are parts of himself that he DOES love.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
His 2nd arc is also split into two parts
(1) Remembering the trauma and acknowledging it -- aka ep 25 to 31 --- and
(2) learning how to cope with said trauma, and learning healthy coping mechanisms instead of choosing self-harming behaviors/coping mechanisms.
Tumblr media
Of course there's still plenty of sh*t Ikki hasn't acknowledged or processed.
And that's because he still needs to learn how to cope in a healthy way instead of immediately trying to run away from the problem (mentally) and y'know in reality too I guess.
Because he'll never grow as a person until he actually learns a new way to cope so that he can process everything, instead of repeating the same cycle of toxic behaviors to the point of idk, death? Mental death? Physical death?
Hmmm.
Well there will certainly be a death of some kind with the way the show is going full power nonstop, bullet train 800 mph right ouTTA the gate.
In fact, Ikki's current storyline kinda reminds me of the Kdrama "It's Okay Not to be Okay" -- more specifically, Ko Moonyoung's kid's book:
"The Boy Who Ate Nightmares."
Tumblr media
NGL y'all this book fits TOO damn well. It's almost uncanny LMAO. "Why can't I become happy?" just HITS.
……..Since Ikki keeps falling back into these same patterns -- down to the foundation of who he is as a person, I believe he's destined (on this current path) to end up becoming exactly like his father.
(Unfortunately.)
Because when you get down to it, the two of them cope the EXACT same way.
(The father's albeit a LOT more unhealthy, but that's because while Ikki had something positive to fall back on, all the dad had was like....scientists horny for abusing human rights, and actual isolation in the DANKEST fking place on earth. Lmao.)
Of course Ikki's big thing is that
he needs to recognize that he copes in this wildly unhealthy manner because its how he coped with the trauma from his childhood.
Its the only way he currently knows how to cope, he doesn't really know anything else, so he keeps going straight back to this mechanism, even though it at this point it could severely ruin everything in his life that he's come to live for.
Tumblr media
....
For Daiji, I think his arc is very similar
(but with obvious differences, as Ikki and Daiji are like direct foils with each other.)
Like (1) he had to learn how to trust himself, (aka confidence) --- and to do this he had to learn how to fight against his own self-hatred.
But this also meant that he had to revisit HIS foundational coping mechanism
(aka how Kagerou works as a "mirage" so that Daiji can keep living, by changing the story to being something caused by OTHERs instead of caused by HIMSELF -- so that he wouldn't idk do something crazy with all that hate.)
I do still think he's working on his confidence and how to fill out the shoes of trusting himself, but he has (unlike Ikki) successfully faced his demons, his unhealthy coping mechanisms, and idk,,, killed them?
Tumblr media
Basically he learned that he didn't need to cope like this anymore because he CAN and WILL have to face his own problems and he finally accepted that. (Ep 26)
BUT.
The thing he still hasn't gotten to yet on his narrative arc, would be the changing of his view point. While he one-shotted his coping mechanism and learned how to be more cruel and decisive, he STILL hasn't really changed his way of thinking. He largely follows and operates with this binary of "Black and white" y'know?
"Good versus evil, justice versus injustice" etc etc etc.
Like he might've changed his shoes -- but he still walks the same?
Which is why Kagerou is currently MIA -- not because he's gone for good
(lmao we WISH we could just fight our demons to the death and be demon-free LOL.But, real life isn't like that sooooo)
BUT
because Daiji hasn't yet learned to accept the parts of himself that are bad -- y'know the more negative emotions, the violent thoughts, aggression, (etc. etc. etc.) Because he still views and sees these things are "evil" and puts them in a box buried deep inside him, and since he's punched out his MAIN coping mechanism of needing to protect himself from reality……
Tumblr media
what he needs to do now is accept his OWN reality.
Accept that things are not a binary, they are nOT black and white,. and that it is oKAY to be flawed, and that it’s essential to acknowledge that it doesn't make you inherently evil for having a negative emotion.
This change of viewpoint and final acceptance of himself I believe is his main narrative arc.
And that until he learns how to accept himself and this viewpoint, he'll be forever playing side-character because he hasn't yet truly allowed himself to BE a main character. To BE someone flawed. And this is something he is going to have to learn if he wants to actually complete his goals.
Like at this point, he's accepted the wrongs of the past. and that things need to change.
But he still lacks the foresight of things being more complicated than just 'good and bad' to actually SEE how to successfully implement any kind of change.
Etc. etc. :DD
***
So, going back to Sakura I just fullll out BELIEVE that her entire journey is about growing—
(yes -- as a person like everyone else in this show/the igarashi family L O L) but more specifically
growing up
Like the 3 siblings are each trapped by different things. Ikki's trapped by his past so he can't see how to change his present and/or his future until he deals with said past. If he never deals will it, then he's doomed for failure.
***
Daiji's big problem and conflict deals with the present. He's too stuck in the present to fully process his past, and he can't move towards the future unless he recognizes who he IS in this direct moment, and comes to accept it.
(Which he hasn't lol)
And then of course, back to Sakura -- her problem is the future.
She's too stuck on the future, on growing -- maturing -- trying to learn to be more responsible, more..."adult".... trying to figure things out on her own, that she ALSO neglects the past AND the present.
Hence why she just accepts everything that she hears and has yet to think more critically about what is true and what is false and whatever else falls in-between.
All of the Igarashi siblings
(but DEF Sakura and Daiji, as Ikki has had to deal with this directly a lot more, but now his problem is with how he copes with it)
have a problem of viewpoint.
Specifically (from what I can tell) the binary of good and evil, black versus white, yada yada yada.
This is originally WHY Sakura wants to figure things out on her own/become more 'WOKE'. It's because narratively she's inbetween this phase of childhood and adulthood.
Like the first 10 episodes of the series are Sakura seeing just how different "real life" is to the only life she's known prior. AKA that Ikki isn't superman. That Daiji isn't inherently just a "sweet, kind, older brother" and also that society is jacked to hell.
Y'know this is why "LIBERAL UP" is Sakura's henshin phrase, and also why she uses the "Libero" driver.
Because she needs to transition from the past to the modern present.
HOWEVER.
Sakura's too far ahead of herself. She still has the tendency to naively believe what is presented to her. (AKA 'this mUST be the truth. Because he said so. LOL!!!) This is probably also why she joins WEEKEND because y'know she's "At the end of the week" Yet she in the transition period right before the start of the next (week).
Hmmmmm. Sakura' biggest conflict
(Y'know other than with this viewpoint)
Is also the concept of honesty and dishonesty. Which is why her animal motif is a SNAKE, because (and yo this could be symbolic to her joining weekend, idk I guess)
she has to choose between:
"Accepting the honesty of what she already had, or she has to choose and accept the dishonesty of the SNAKE"
-- leading to her "Fall". (If we're going by religious connotation. But seeing as the show has a literall fking CULT I feel like this connection isn't too far fetched LOL.)
Which YEESH. But its true. She needs to understand that you can't just confront things head on and expect to always be right, or to win. There's more to reality than just beating the opponent in physical combat.
Tumblr media
Wayyyy quicker than Ikki and Daiji, Sakura NAILED the first part of her arc (accepting her own vulnerabilities, accepting her own demon)
(Ep 11-12 lol).
Ikki first accepts his demon in episode 13 (when he has to trust Vice), and again in episode 18 (accepting that him and Vice are one); Daiji never accepted his demon (Ep 26)
Which is also why Ikki and Sakura are more proactive in the narrative versus Daiji who has A LOT of self-introspection that he's got to do.

Tumblr media
“That’s a beautiful painting,” a rough, scruffy voice calls out, jerking you away from your daydreams. Your grip around the color canvas resting in your arms tightens as you glance behind your shoulder to see a well-built man standing right behind you. He’s tall and a lot older than you, he has short grey hair which falls right before his eyebrows along beautiful, matching grey eyes. A cigar hangs lazily from his lips as he occasionally huffs on it, blowing clouds of smoke out his mouth. He’s dressed in expensive robes, a choice of style only people better off could afford. You can’t help exachaning a covetous glance between his expensive suit and your sloppy, knee-length, light green dress. “Thank you.” you murmur shoving him an appreciative look, hoping he’d leave you alone. When you come to the city to complete your studies in art, you mother, father, family and friends had warned you about men like these. Rich, snobby men who liked to lure in young, naive girls. Whispering praises of how they are the most unique on the planet so they pull their guard down form them to take advantage of the helpless beings. 
“Can I take a better look? It’s the Emperor, is it not? Your painting. ” You hesitate before turning back to him. Not a lot of people had seen the King to be. He lived humbly in his castle, trying his best to not indulge in the affairs of the common people. “ Yes,” you hold up the slightly small canvas (courtesy of you being broke the entire week and not being able to save up to buy a bigger canvas). To even get an idea of Shigaraki Tomura, you had to go through many people. Not a lot of people had seen his face, he had always kept it hidden under a mask. No one knew why he did so but the many conspiracy throes suggested it was something to do with his personal grief.
 You had heard many stories about him. Some made him look like a spoiled brat with a demeaning, ignorant personality who didn’t care for others and as the rumors said: self destructive habits which lead him to tear the skin of his own neck down whenever he got anxious or frustrated. 
Others portrayed him as a strong, confident man and a reliable leader who cared for his comrades. You did not know which one of the two personas brought him your attention but you couldn’t complain. Tomura had caught you under a spell, and despite never meeting him (and knowing full well you never would), you were still ready to sacrifice your life for him. He was your King even before he had taken his crown, to you he looked like a shining bright light ready to enlighten you. To you, he was a god. And as years passed by, he grew from a caterpillar into a cocoon which was ready to burst open as a butterfly into the beautiful, mysterious world. And it was happening today, Prince Tomura Shigaraki’s Coronation ceremony. After the passing of All For One, it was his turn to take the crown and fulfill his duty as the ruler of the nation
 The entire city was busy, bustling with people. Families, friends and everyone in between gathered around the huge castle walls as they waited for the ceremony to begin. They waited patiently, filled with excitement and joy as they waited to catch a glimpse of the new great King. You were among them. You had come down to the centre of the city with your friends, waiting alongside many to catch a glimpse of the new ruler. The painting which nestled in your hand was something you were hoping to sell today, to a shop or anyone who wants to have it. It was a beautiful painting which had taken you several days to complete, and dare you say it, you were quite proud of it. From all the things you had heard about Tomura, you had managed to sketch him decently. Long white, wavy hair reaching till his shoulder, skin white as snow. He sat proudly on his throne wearing a cape with his vermillion eyes peering through your soul. His face was scarcely detailed as you did not have much idea about it but he still looked ethereal. With little scars running both his eyes and a comparatively larger one on his right. Chapped lips with even more scars running over them wildly, he was not conventionally attractive. No one would call him a pretty boy yet there was something more, something alluring which attracted  you to him. His beauty was rare, not in the grasp of many but if it was grasped and held close to the heart, it was hard to let go off. And you found him attractive, very attractive. 
The man took a good look at your painting, examining it carefully and for a second you really thought he had seen the mysterious Prince. “It’s quite similar to him,” he sends you a friendly grin and you notice a tooth from his front missing, leaving an uncomfortable gap. “Have you seen him before?” he asked and you shake your head, no. He gives you an amused expression, “I must say, you are very talented, miss…?” you complete your name with a nervous smile. “And you are?” you ask. 
You realised that you were getting a little too comfortable with the stranger and it could be a really bad decision but you can’t help but give him the benefit of the doubt as he behaves like a gentleman you can find yourself to trust. “Kagero Okuta but I like to go by Giran,” he says with a lop-sided grin. Giran, you’ve heard the name before but cannot recall where and how. It sounds so familiar but you just can’t grasp it, he looked wealthy so you assumed he was a Noble and that made you even more curious as to why he was speaking to you.
 “What are you planning to do with that painting?” he asks, diving a closer look and admiring its features. “I must say, you’ve got it quite accurate but,” you stiffen, your hands growing cold as your heartbeat picks up. You realized your painting must have some complications, drawing a man you had never seen before purely out of your interpretation was a hard and a bold task to do. But to have someone who had actually seen the King for himself pinpoint your mistakes sent a rush of anxiety through your veins.
 “He’s not that bony.” He completes and you gulp nervously, looking down at your painting in disappointment. Your eyes are filled with disappointment,  all of the time and effort you spent making the piece all for it go in vain just because you missed a small detail. Giran notices your remorse and speaks up, “But that’s quite alright. He looked just like that until a while ago,” he hadn’t meant to offend or hurt you. He still believed your painting was the most beautiful thing he had seen all day.
 “What do you mean?” you ponder, giving him a perplexed look. He leans  in closer to you as if to tell a secret, “let’s say the King has been working out behind closed doors.” you blink in confusion. It was a strange thing to say, exactly how well did this man know the Emperor? Who was it that you were talking? 
“Who are you?” you can’t help but question, bewildered by such a character. Giran says nothing. He just stares at you with his lips curled into a snappy smirk, holding his cigar between his lips. He was not going to tell you anything. Without wasting time, he quickly changes the topic. “What are you going to do with that painting?” he repeats, his voice growing impatient.
 “I am planning to sell it,” you feel a bit taken back. The friendly aura which had Giran had now disappeared for a reason you could not conclude. “Sell it? To whom?” the intruding nature of his tone starts to make you uncomfortable, there’s nothing more you want to do other than get far away from him. Yet you still find yourself answering him, “To anyone who wants it.” he hums at your response, his eyes holding a mocking glint. “Wouldn’t you like to give it to the Emperor himself?” you frown, was he mocking you? 
“That’s well...impossible.” you reply, stretching your neck awkwardly. “To you, maybe.” 
You stop yourself from rolling your eyes, this man was really testing your patience. A part of you tells you to ignore him and walk away but as he reaches into his coat and pulls out a bag of coins worth much more than you could ever earn in a month, he has you hooked yet again. 
“Hey, let me buy that painting, would yer’?” 
.
..
..
“What is the problem now?” Giran takes a seat around the round table. It was late after the Coronation ceremony and the Royal palace was already facing problems. Giran was disappointed but definitely not surprised. After all, he was their personal problem solver and broker. “It’s not that big of a deal.” A curt and hard reply cut him off.
 “It actually is, Shigaraki Tomura.” a voice speaks, coming from a man dressed in a black suit with a long, flowy robe covering his entire body. He stands taller than the other two men in the as his head is replaced with a wisp of smoke. He was none other than the trusted and talented magician of the Royal family. With eccentric features and an ability to wield strange magic, nobody knew where he came from. There were many rumors about him; that he was once a normal, handsome man cursed by a witch that turned him into a hideous monster or he simply was a ghost. “What is it, Kurogiri?” Giran rephrases his question, directing it to the other man. “We need a new painter,-” 
“Servant.” Shigaraki corrected. He stood in front of the giant windows glancing over his city as his men talked about hiring a new painter for the castle. He couldn’t care less about such tedious tasks, he had his focus set on greater things like expanding his territory, taking back stolen land. 
“What happened to Mr. Kyo?” Giran asked, Shigaraki rolled his eyes at the mention of the name and clicked his tongue, “His Majesty eliminated him.” Giran stops himself from laughing out loud. He was certain once Shigaraki would take over the throne incidents like so would double the instant. But he was expecting it to happen so soon. “And why was that?” 
“He was breathing too loud, like you are right now.” 
A cold silence broke over the room as Giran counted his breath. Kurogiri looked nervously at Shigaraki who still had his back turned to them. The longer the pause grew, the dreadful the atmosphere became. Shigaraki’s threat strung the air loud and clear and Giran was afraid to speak again. “What we are asking for is that-,” Kurogiri started in a calm, slow tone easing the tension in the room. “-we need a new court painter. Do you have any names?” 
The murderous sent in the air magically disappeared as a grin stretched across Giran’s face. 
“Aren’t you in luck?” He says, running a hand through his hair before taking a puff out of his cigar. “Does that mean you know someone?” Kurogiri questioned. Giran hummed, “You see, I met this beautiful painter today. She’s extremely talented and I know for a fact she will love working for the castle.” 
“What’s the name?” growing impatient, Shigaraki asks. “Oh, it was,” Giran pauses for a moment to recall. 
“Ah yes, Y/N L/N.”

SHIGARAKI, GIRAN, and DABI SMUT HEADCANNONS (NOT ENTIRELY CANNON)
cw: smut, 18+ only, minors dni or i will block, kinks, and cussing
fem!reader x character
a/n: i really just want to write more already, my requests are dry as fuck and i want to post something so, here is your guys’ food for the night. gn sorry for the mommy kink, my major dom side slipped out. oops?
UPDATE: made some edits to this, as well as added links to some headcannons for Giran, and Shigaraki. Please check them out!
TOMURA SHIGARAKI (tenko shimura):
Tomura is very inexperienced, he doesn’t know much about sex or the female anatomy. Of course he knows the basics about it all, but how much can you really learn from word of mouth, and porn. He watches porn a lot sometimes, but more often than not, he doesn’t do anything. He enjoys watching, and learning. When he meets you, its all he does. He doesn’t understand why, but it makes the dull ache in his lower region lessen. He feels ashamed to touch himself because of sensei. 
He is infatuated with you. You’re the only person he’s been attracted to that doesn’t eventually annoy him somehow. You’re nice, and you try to take care of him. You’re so soft, he begins to trust you and eventually it leads to some form of dating. He is obsessed with you at this point, you are the most kind and selfless person he’s ever met. You’re a perfect mommy.
It’s going to take you guys a bit to get to that point of intimacy. Tomura has trust issues, and he’s incredibly insecure. He’s worried to hurt you, he’s worried that you’ll be disgusted by him, he’s just worried. It’s going to take a lot of reassurance, body worshipping, and other acts before he’s down to get under the sheets with you. 
He really likes the way you touch him, he’s always been scared of touching himself because of his quirk, and sensei. He doesn’t touch himself often, (usually just fucking his pillow because it’s soft) but the feeling on your soft, dainty hand on his member almost sends him into overdrive. He’s so sensitive, and you love it.
Poor touch starved Tomu.
He also loves your mouth, the way you kiss him, leave love bites all over his neck and chest, biting his lips, and the way you wrap your lips around the tip of his cock. God, the best sight and feeling he’s ever experienced. 
When he finally fucks you, he never wants to stop. You warm, wet spongy walls pulling him in deeper and milking him for all he’s worth-- he almost wants to cry it feels so good. He wonders why he never sought you out earlier for this. His pace is inconsistent, and he whimpers loudly above you. He might come super early, but you just give him time to recover and go again. He tells you to call him a good boy. Please call him a good boy, he will become putty.
Now, since he got a taste of you, he’s going to try to fuck you any chance he gets. Whenever you’re not in the mood, he settles for humping against your thigh. 
He’s so sensitive and touch starved, the slightest friction can set him off. don’t grind against him too much, you might soil his pants.
He loves all of your body parts but dear god, does that boy love your boobs. It doesn’t matter the size, if you have them, he’s suckling on them constantly. Tomura will do that when he needs to relax, or again, if you’re not in the mood to do much. He loves cuddling into your chest while you play with his hair. He just loves your tits. Sometimes he becomes bratty and slips his hand under your shirt in public, or will even purposefully stare down your shirt if the shirt your wearing shows even the smallest bit of cleavage. All he wants to do is touch and suck on them.
Tomura loves when you sit on his face, you taste so good to him, and he loves having your smaller body on top of his head. He thrives off of the thought of drowning in your pussy and hot ass. You bet your ass (ahahejbfwj sorry) he’s going to grope your bottom the entire time. He also stares at it if you stand in front of him, or are laying on your stomach, all he can think about is eating you out, or bending you over his desk to fuck you. He is too horny for his own good.
Tomura really loves when you let him face fuck you. There’s something just so hot about you with tears running down your cheeks, and drool leaking down to your chest is a sight he’s obsessed with. He wishes he could do it more.
Kink 1: I will die on this hill-- TOMURA HAS A MOMMY KINK! He fucking does, you cannot tell me different because it’s true. He might be more dominant with you if you’re more of a sub, but he wants you to baby him. Call him a good boy, and tell him how cute he is, call him baby boy when he feels sad or upset. He relies on you for so much. You’re his sweet little mommy who lets her baby boy cum inside of her tight little cunny. 
Kink 2: I also think he might have a size kink-- he might be your baby boy, but he wants to toss you around during sex. He likes putting four fingers around your pretty little throat, watching his large fingers dip in and out of you. Tomura gets off on your size difference, no matter what size you are. He will make sure he is the bigger of the pair. He wants to feel big and strong, he lives off of the power dynamic. The man is a paradox within himself.
Kink 3: Body worship and praise kink (obviously), he likes both receiving and giving. When you call him your good boy, or tell him he has the perfect body, he will cum at the words alone. He’s into degradation too but that’s too complex for him.
Kink 4: (I don’t know the word for this) but he is a dirty fuck. He likes your used underwear to jerk off into, he’ll even suckle on the used spot in the crotch. Don’t let him stay in your room too long alone, your scent alone is enough to get him off. You might just walk into him humping your pillow with a gym shirt over his face. He also has a piss kink but that is for another time.
Kink 5: Somnophilia, he makes sure you’re okay with it beforehand but sometimes you’ll wake up with Tomura lapping at your sensitive jewel between your legs and grabbing your thighs. Or his hips crashing into yours. He loves the way you look when you’re lost in sleep, your face is so soft and you have some sort of otherworldly glow. You’re also so much more sensitive to his touches, and he loves the way you whimper and moan in your sleep. He loves it.
BONUS KINK (coz I’ve been giving this sweetboy so much love on here, here’s another thing): he loves when you cosplay in the bedroom. Roleplay while you’re at it too. He loves that you’re so willing to do things for him just for his pleasure, while looking like a character he watches hentai about. You’re such a carring mommy.
Tomura just overall loves you, and everything you do together. Sex is a way for him to feel close to you, and he is going to try to learn everything about how to pleasure you. He likes feeling good, and he feels good making you feel good.  
He has probably every kink imaginable but, those top five are ones that are most noticeable. 
GIRAN (kagero okuta):
Giran is very experienced, he’s had his fair share of lovers in his past and he knows just how to pleasure a woman. Because of his busy schedule, he doesn’t have time for meaningful relationships, and most of that love making comes from one night stands. He’s dated when he was younger but, it wasn’t anything he still daydreams about. He doesn’t often feel comfortable touching himself unless he really needs to, sometimes you need to release that built up tension. But overall, sex and relationships are nothing but just things to him. He didn’t care.
That is, until you came along.
He can be patient with you, he let’s you set the boundaries. What can I say, the man is an absolute gentleman! Of course the second you’re flirting with him he wants to pull you away to fuck in a bathroom stall but he knows he wants more than that. He wants to treat you right, and make you smile.
When things do get intimate, he immediately gets very dominate (in a soft way of course). He lets you know that its all about you, and to not worry about him too much. He starts off by smothering you with kisses, slipping his hands underneath your long dress to feel the smooth skin of your thighs. Teasingly rubbing his fingers along your clothed slit. He loves to see you squirm, hips rutting against him when he gets you worked up. He lives for your desperation. 
When he gets to fuck you, he makes sure he can see your face the entire time. He does everything he can to please you. He enjoyed watching your face contort in pleasure, memorizing what positions made your eyes roll back or caused you to whimper. He makes sure you cum at least twice before he releases, and he swears he’s never had sex quite as enjoyable.
Giran begins to become even more loving to you. He’ll start kissing you more frequently, giving you expensive gifts, and whenever you grow further in your relationship, he gives you lingerie to wear for him when you guys get down and dirty.
He really loves your ass and thighs, he loves coming up behind you, and placing his hand on your ass while you’re doing something like the dishes or cooking. Whenever you’re laying down, he might jump between your legs, and put his face on your lower stomach while holding your thighs. He enjoys fucking you from behind so he can grope, and smack at your ass and thighs as much as he wants. But he’s not too rough, unless you like it like that. 
He likes your breasts as well. He makes it a point to give you bras more often than not so he can see how pretty your tits look on display for him. As well as, he just likes to fondle them. He likes to smother your bare chest in wet kisses, rolling a nipple between his lips and tongue from time to time. He just likes the squishy soft flesh between his fingers. You just look so pretty when you’re completely bare for him.
Giran prefers using his hands to pleasure you, he really enjoys watching up close how your face reacts to his handiwork, and it makes me feel incredibly proud. Kissing you while you moan in his mouth. Sometimes if you shy away from him he’ll bunch up your hair so he can see you.
Kink 1: Service kink-- that obviously goes without saying, he fucking loves pleasuring you. He lives for it. He drinks up your moaning, whimpering, scratching etc., when you lose yourself in the pleasure he swears he never has seen anything so beautiful
Kink 2: Giran loves to overstimulate you, when you’re already cumming, he’s sucking harder on your clit until you’re sobbing and yanking his scalp. Watching you barely able to form a sentence because of how intense the pleasure is, makes him insane. He might also use toys on you during sex to make this more intense, despite the fact that he prefers his hands. Sometimes he likes watching you nearly screaming as he hold a vibrator to your clit. The vibrations can also feel good to him.
Kink 3: Edging. From time to time, if you’re being a brat, he’ll edge you for as long as you can take before you’re crying and begging him to let you cum. Sometimes he just needs to release his anger, and that can be through just toying with you.
Kink 4: While he isn’t into exhibitionism, sometimes he’ll answer calls in the middle of doing things with you and see how long you can stay quiet while he talks business on the phone. He’ll pull his phone away from his mouth to smash his lips against yours. 
Kink 5: This goes without saying-- this man has a daddy kink. I just know that he would love a sweet little sugar baby like you to spoil, and smother with love. He is a daddy in every sense of the word, he wants to take care of you, pleasure you, punish you when needed, and being called daddy makes his ears turn red. He never thought he’d like it, that is until he met you (could be the age gap too, who knows).
Giran wants to pleasure you. He gets his pleasure from giving, though he doesn’t mind you blowing him under his desk at his office during a meeting. You’re his sugar baby, he lives for you. He’ll spoil you rotten, and fuck you so well that your legs will be so numb with pleasure all you can do is melt into his arms. And yes, he lives for the moments when you let yourself be vulnerable to him, and hold him close.
DABI (touya todoroki):
Dabi is similar to Giran in the sense that he’s never had an meaningful relationships that involved sex, or romance. He’s had his air share of affairs with women since he was a teen, but most women he came across are ones he never felt connected to. Dabi jerks off when he has to, he finds himself disgusted by his body and feels horrible when he makes himself feel good. But sometimes there are no other options. He usually settles for a fleshlight instead, he’d rather fuck a toy than his own disgusting scarred hand. (he’s not disgusting, I think it’s fair to say cannonly that Dabi is very self-conscious of his looks, poor baby. He is the cutest.)
At first, Dabi only wanted to fuck you. He saw you, thought you were attractive and that was it. He probably openly flirted with you constantly so he could get you to maybe even give him some material for later on. 
But for some reason, your pretty face and soft voice corrupts his brain. He eventually courts you, and pretty quickly, things get heated. You’re letting him man handle you on the roof of an abandoned building thirty minutes away from any cities. He’s groping you so tight you swear he could feel the way your blood was moving inside your veins. Dabi quickly begins to grind into you, biting your neck while moving his hands to cup the globes of your ass. God was he good at using his hips. He grabbed you suddenly by the back of your head by holding your hair at your scalp, his other hand forcing your jaw slightly open. “Get on your knees.” he smirked. “You’re already drooling, so hungry for my cock already, slut?”
Your first time together Dabi was pinning your hands above your head as he rammed his large, pierced cock into you. So fast, and so deep, it barely allowed your mind for any thoughts. You were crying into the night air as he demolished your insides, he was biting you, sucking, and smacking various body parts. Any time you tried to tell him something, he’d reply with, “shut up slut”. Not a gentleman like Giran, he wanted to dominate you and make you his little whore, fuck you brainless. 
After you and Dabi have sex, his flirty nature grows by a million. He’s coming up behind you, rutting his clothed erection against your ass, grabbing your hair to face him and saying, “hey baby, I missed you”. Or in public he’s making you sit on his lap while he kisses your neck and earlobe. You are the best person he’s ever fucked, and you care for him, you’re also bareable to be around. Do you know how rare it is for Dabi to not be annoyed by someone? You’re his lil’ angel. He’s going to be clingy anytime he has free time, his little tsundere act completely diminishing when you two are alone. He’s all over you, and you take it, like the good little slut you are. Dabi’s little slut.
I think it goes without saying that he loves your ass. It was the first thing he noticed about you, he loves having you sit on his lap. He like holding it while you are doing something while standing, whether that be brushing your teeth or reading the label of a box of pasta at the grocery store. He loves him some ass. He likes to hit it from the back so he can smack the life out of you, while also watching your ass jiggle and smack against his dick. Then after to soothe your sore, beaten ass, he rubs it while you guys cuddle and sleep.
Don’t get me wrong though, the man loves him some tits too. He likes how they also jiggle during sex, and look when you wear clothes. He might insist that you get nipple piercings because “that’s the hottest shit ever” -Dabi.
Dabi secretly really gets off to you pleasuring yourself, and he’s not sure why. Something is just so hot about sitting across the room and watching you drag yourself into an orgasm. When you stare into his eyes while cumming, he loses it. 
Kink 1: Sadism-- is anyone really surprised that Dabi is a sadist? He loves watching you whimper when he goes too rough with you, or the look in your eyes as he holds your face to his and instructs you what to do with your mouth. He loves leaving bruises on you when he spanks, and bites you. He’s so territorial, he just needs to leave his mark on you. His cock twitches when he sees you the next day with his love bites all over your neck. He also has a major size kink, but it kind of goes hand in hand with his sadism. He gets off on overpowering you, throwing you around, and marking you. He might also later on enjoy using whips, paddles, tassels or even a belt.
Kink 2: He really loves to degrade you call you his little cumslut, or forces you to tell him that the only reason you live is for his cock. He thinks you’re the sexiest, prettiest, most perfect girl in the world but-- he enjoys calling you a good for nothing, dirty whore. Afterwards he’ll of course shower you with love if he’s feeling soft enough for you.
Kink 3: I strongly believe Dabi is into bondage. He loves to pin your arms above your head, and at some point you both mutually agree to let him chain you to the bed post and have his way with you. Which eventually turns into him bending you in half with rope, or strapping you to the ceiling. There’s nothing more hot than seeing you hog tied on his bed with a ball gag in your pretty lips, drooling and trying to tell him to fuck you already. He loves having the control, he just wants to lose himself in you when you’re tied up, like a pretty little present. Just for him.
Kink 4: Dabi recently in his activities with you, realized he enjoyed knife play. He enjoys running a blade across your spine while he slowly humps into you. Telling you that you’re such a docile and pathetic girl for letting him so close to you, one slip up and he could hurt you. He could slice into you, but you just let him. But it just seems to turn you on more.
Kink 5: Dabi has a thing for what you’re wearing too. Along with the ropes, and gags, he likes to put you in collars, and thigh highs. Both him and Tomura probably have the biggest kink for that, they love dressing up their s/o. While he fucks you, he loves seeing your soft squishy flesh pop out above the cotton material of the socks. He loves how submissive and adorable you look in your collar. You’re a good girl, just for him— hey don’t accuse him of pet play, even if it’s true.
You let him explore a side to himself he didn’t think he had, he’s happy to have someone so willing to let him explore his sexuality while also loving and caring for his wellbeing. He loves being around you. You’re his perfect little pet.
Such a good girl, just for him.

Monster Hunter Rise: 2nd Trailer and news blowout
Hey guys this is Gaijinhunter. I am uploading this as a text post since I caught a cold and have been unable to edit a video.
There was a huge second wave of news for Monster Hunter Rise with the reveal of the 2nd trailer the other day during the Game Awards 2020 show. Keep in mind the actual full length trailer is much longer and better than the shorter edit they showed during the show so makes sure you watch it. It showcased a second map, 2 new monsters, several returning monsters, and more. They also updated their official website with a ton of information so instead of doing a trailer reaction or breakdown, I am going to give you all the info they shared but split up by category, trying to focus only on the new stuff.
New Map
Tumblr media
Director Ichinose hinted in an interview that one of the new maps would be nostalgic and boy he wasn't kidding. The Flooded Forest from Third Generation has been massively remade and is back in MH rise. Of course given this game’s focus is verticality, there is no underwater combat sections but they really nailed it from what I can see. One of the most iconic parts of the forest was the ruins in the backgrounds, and now you can scale up it using the wirebug. How cool is that. 
With the new map we also got the reveal of 2 new monsters.
Tumblr media
First up is the mermaid wyvern, the Somnacanth. This marks the much hyped return of the leviathan class of monsters which were missing in world and iceborne. This Monster looks so wild. It has a special breath that will put you to sleep, is super aggressive, and has this crazy taiko drum like chest in which it will grab oysters and other things and bust them against it to break them open and buff itself. The Japanese name is quite a mouthful and is called Isonemikuni. This is the monster that Ichinose teased with his cute drawing on twitter.
Tumblr media
Next up is the tengu beast, Bishaten. This monster is really unique, it looks like a mix of a monkey, bat, and bird. It has a huge and powerful tail it uses for massive mobility and it will chuck various fruits at you as well. One of the most iconic fruits it throws are persimmons, which are very Japanese and if you haven’t had them before, they are kind of an acquired taste. It’s Japanese name is Bishutendo. 
Tumblr media
For returning monsters we have a few. First is our favorite sponge, the Royal Ludroth. This is a fan favorite and a great early to mid game monster. It has one of the best move sets in my opinion, very telegraphed but it can still catch you off guard even if you are super used to it. Strategically figuring gout where to stand in order to cut off its tail or break the sponge has always been really fun and intersting so I’m delighted to see this monster return, also look at that texture of the sponge!
Tumblr media
Then we got the return of the Great Wroggi, the anti-poison skill tutorial monster. This thing really messed me up back in MH3G until I spent the time to get the materials to craft anti-posion decorations and even then, like the Great Izuchi, it fights really well with its sidekick small wroggis and I cant wait to see the improved cooperative AI that they are making for the Great Izuchi applied to this monster as well. It’s armor also spots a really cool Crocodile Dundee hat and look in the trailer and you can see the palico armor as well. So cool.
Tumblr media
Finally, we got a small scene that appears to show a snow map and a group of baggi getting hit by a Khezu lightening shot. Does this mean the Great Baggi will return? Not sure. But that scream 100% is a Khezu, and I cannot wait to see how it looks with higher resolution texturing, I bet it will be creepy as heck. So while not technically confirmed, I’d say it’s safe to say Khezu is returning in some form. The balance of all these monsters is so great, I love the selection so far.
As far as other returning monsters that might return, I think we all expect nargacuga and zinogre. These are flagship monsters from games directed by Ichinose and he even tweeted his palamute and palico both named after these two monsters. Especially given the Japanese aesthetic, I think it’s pretty much guaranteed they are returning. Then I think mizutsune is also highly likely given its Japanese design, the fox theme, the kimono armor. Plus the model for it doesn't look that far off from the new Somnacanth. Anyway I have super hyped.
Interaction with animals and endemic life
One of the huge features of Monster Hunter Rise is the focus on wild life and animals to buff your hunter or be used as tools during a hunt.
There are 4 major types of Endemic Life: Temp Buffer, Permabuffer, Hunting Helper, and environmental.
Tumblr media
For Permabuffer, we got a new render of the Spiribirds, which will buff your hunter if you move near one, and the effects depend on the color of the pollen it is carrying. Green increases your max Health, Orange increases your defense, red increases your attack power, and yellow increases your max stamina. There is even a special rainbow colored one, which I assume will buff all 4.
Tumblr media
Via their website, Capcom announced a new item called the Petalace, a bracelet made of a plant called a Sending Sprig that each hunter has equipped. This is what collects the pollen from the birds and buffs your hunter. There is a variety of Petalaces in the game and some may increase the amount in which an attack boost is applied from a single Spiribird, raise the max value that health can be boosted, and more. Here in the screen shot we can see the caps for each and the amount gained for each buff. Just a quick note but this is not going to be replacing charms as we know that they are giving away a talisman for pre-order.
Tumblr media
For Temp Buffer creatures, they revealed the name of the Clothfly, a butterfly that will temporarily increase your defense once you interact with it and cause it to generate a cloud of dust. In previous videos we have seen Peepers that reduce stamina usage, birds that raise your base stats, and a dragonfly that boosts your affinity and I had calculated it out to being applied for 90 seconds but we’ll have to wait for hte final game to see if that depends on the effect or if they change it, but it sounds about right.
Tumblr media
For Hunting Helper creatures, we got an adorable new render of the Stinkmink. You can carry up to 5 Hunting Helpers and use them like items. The Stinkmink can be used to cover yourself in a special pheromone that will attract large monsters to you, even allowing you to lure one monster toward another to cause a turf war. I personally can think of other applications like luring a monster toward a trap and stuff like that.
Tumblr media
And for environmental endemic life, they didn't show it in the trailer but there are also wildlife that can be used like environmental traps. For example, use raw meat and the giganha fish will go crazy, damaging anything nearby be it a hunter or monster. I can’t wait to see someone hunt a Great Wroggi using only raw meat. I love that we finally will have more use for this item.
NPCs
In the new trailer we got to hear several of the NPC villagers talking and on the website they go into a lot more details. They have quite the star-studded cast in Japanese and the English voice actors are also very interesting picks. This really marks the first time in Monster Hunter that the main cast of villagers will all be called by name and speak, which I think adds a lot of personality to the game.
Tumblr media
First we have Fugen the village elder of Kamura and skilled long sword user. 
Then we have Hinoa the Quest Maiden, a cheerful and optimistic girl who serves as the quest giver in the village while her twin sister runs the gathering hub. While not announced in any other language, the French and Italian language sites for the game list her sister’s name as Minoto. Hinoa’s name is Hinoe in Japnaese and for the rest of the cast their names are identical between the two languages.
Tumblr media
One thing I am excited for is that they said that one of the ways they will help communicate the uniqueness of Kamura is through songs and they shared a sample of one of them in the full trailer. This one is sung by Izumi Kato. If you remember back in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate they featured songs by the wyverian Diva, and I am so happy they decided to do songs again, they add so much richness to the world and are just lovely to listen to.
Tumblr media
Next up is Yomogi, our village chef. In this game you will eat meals at her Tea Shop, where her speciality is the Bunny Dango she makes along with the help of some palicoes. I love that we’ve seen her in past videos with a heavy bowgun, so the idea that all the villagers are active participants in the story is great. 
Then we have Hamon the blacksmith. He used to hunt alongside Fugen back in the day but now creates weapons for the hunters of the village. His grandson also appears in the game and is a kind-hearted youth that loves your hunting companions.
Next is Kagero the merchant. Despite his mysterious appearance he is actually very warm and kind. If there is a sale going on, not only can you buy most items for half off, but you can also participate in a lottery where you spin a wheel and it dispenses a colored ball. Get a rare color ball to win a rare prize. You can do it once per sale, but you can also scan an amiibo to spin two more times, but only once per day per amiibo you own.
Finally we have Komitsu the sweet-tooth, she sells candy apples in town. What these do is still not yet revealed.
Companions
Tumblr media
We got an adorable render for the Cohoot, the pet owl that shows the positions of monsters on your map. You can interact with it in the town and even dress them up in fancy outfits.
Kamura Village
Tumblr media
We got gameplay showing that the entire village is open to the 4 person multiplayer session and you can even ride around on your palamute and use your wirebug while in the village to zip around and have fun. There is still a gathering hall but the ability to see each other in the village as well as jump around and really explore it is a lovely change they are making.
Tumblr media
Story wise we got more info about the Rampage, both a story mechanic and new quest type. For some reason the monsters will sometimes gang up and attack the village all at once and no one knows why. They call this a Rampage. There was a really bad rampage 50 years ago that nearly destroyed the village and in response the town has created a Stronghold to stop further invasions. This looks like a new quest type with multiple monsters all at once, and a slew of different artillery options at your disposal. I could see this as being a really fun type of quest to do online with other players. 
Tumblr media
And of course the most exciting news was that there will be a demo in January with more details to come later. That is far earlier than I expected and I now have to finish up my back catalogue of games in like the next month.
And that about wraps it up. Cpacom said that they will be sharing weapon preview videos for all 14 types very soon and if they do the way they used to do it, we’ll get one new video a day for 2 weeks. I hope you enjoyed this recap of the news and please let me know down in comments what you thought about the second trailer. And until next time, happy hunting.
