Just some random thoughts about married SephTi:

I had a revelation at 3am about married Sephiroth and Tifa (not sure where it came from) reading FanFiction about themselves. Sephiroth comes home to find Tifa engrossed in her phone. She acknowledges him and speaks to him but she is glued to her phone. He wonders how he should feel if he finds out that she's watching porn so he decided to ask trying to be funny.

Sephiroth: Hey, hon. Watching porn?

Tifa (responses without looking up): No, reading it.

Sephiroth: Pardon?

Tifa: I'm reading it.

Sephiroth: Reading it. Huh. Not sure how to respond to that. Is it any good?

Tifa: Totally. Especially how Genesis have you going speechless. Oh and Angeal eventually joins the fun

Sephiroth: Excuse me?! What kind of trash are you reading?

Sephiroth snatches her phone and reads the smutty yaoi fanfiction. His face scrunches and tosses the phone back to her. Tifa stifles a laugh.

Sephiroth: FanFiction. Should've known. Shouldn't be reading trash like that. Where did you find that?

Tifa: I heard a few talk about it and I was just curious.

Sephiroth: If you were so curious, you should've came straight to the source. I would've indulged my lovely wife. Besides, if you had such time for idleness, you can go to the training room with me. I'll be more than happy to give you a workout, Mrs. Lockhart. And stop hanging out with Zack and Genesis. They're corrupting you.

Tifa: Oh? Is that so, Mr. Lockhart.

Sephiroth approaches Tifa and kisses her before sitting down behind her on the couch.

Sephiroth: Who wrote that garbage anyway?

Tifa: Your devoted Fanclub members and a few underground students/cadets.

Sephiroth (sighs): Figures. Just so you know Mrs. Lockhart, there's a few out there about you too.

Tifa: Noo? What? Where?

Sephiroth grins widely. He takes her phone and types then hands it back to her. She reads and peruses a few FanArts.

Tifa: What? Oh my God? Wait, that's actually a really great picture of me. Hey! My boobs aren't that big?!

Sephiroth laughs.

Sephiroth: What's wrong, my dear? Didn't like what you found? Maybe you shouldn't have opened Pandora's box.

Tifa: How did you know about this?

Sephiroth: Not important. More importantly, if you're going to indulge in trash like that, you might as well read the good ones.

Tifa: What do you mean?

He asks for her phone again. She hands it to him. He types and hands it back to her. She reads a FanFiction about them.

Tifa: What is this?

Sephiroth: Apparently, we have a fan.

Tifa: What do you mean?

Sephiroth: Read their pen name.

It reads "Number1F@n".

Tifa: Do you know who it is?

Sephiroth: I do not. But apparently, they're someone close enough to get an inside scoop.

Tifa: What do you mean?

Sephiroth: Go to Volume 2, Chapter 23, 5th paragraph. The way the Hero proposed to the Heroine sounds very familiar don't you think? Sounds a little too close to home?

Tifa: The only ones who know are Angeal, Genesis, Zack, Barrett, and a select few who I know wouldn't say anything. I did tell Cissnei but she wouldn't dare write about it.

Sephiroth: Hmm. Anyway, you should give it a read. You have some catching up to do. There's already 3 Volumes. I'm currently on the 3rd.

Tifa: 3 Volumes?! How?! What?!

Sephiroth: Mmm-hmm. It's very good and very detailed. It even has our little tiffs in there. Oh and apparently you're cheating on me with Angeal.

Tifa (stifles laughter): What?!

Sephiroth: Yeah. Don't worry, I told him that I would castrate him and set Meteor down on him if he ever thinks about touching you. He said he wouldn't have expected any less. Though there are some scenes I would love to recreate with you, Mrs. Lockhart.

Tifa: Oh?

Sephiroth: Mmm-hmm. Let me know when you get to Chapter 18. You really should get to reading.

Tifa: When did you have time to read this?

Sephiroth: Only once in a blue moon.

Flashbacks to a few instances of Sephiroth reading on the train en route to a mission, in his office where he's thought to be reading mission reports, during Hojo's scientific ramblings, during Lazard's meeting, while hanging out with Genesis and Angeal, on the couch with Tifa asleep on him, etc.

In the meanwhile, on the other side of Shinra HQ:

Tseng types on his laptop. He's currently working on Volume 4 under his pen name "Number1F@n". Satisfied with the end of his chapter, he closes his laptop for the night and decides to call it a night.

Reading through the propaganda on the victims of yaoi and the canon misogyny polls is harrowing in the sense that like. Firstly, the fact that we have this many characters spread out throughout multiple pieces of media to have the polls in the first place is bad enough (and I know that this isn't even all of it, or even possibly the worst of these phenomenons). But even besides that, when you read the propaganda I am struck by how similar all of it sounds after a while.

"This character was viciously hated on by the fanbase for being an emotional teenage girl." "This girl was set up as someone cool and promptly got ignored by the writers/fandom in order for them to focus on the development of male characters." "This woman chronically gets sexually assaulted for a joke." "This woman of colour was thrown under the bus in favour of a white m/m ship." "This girl's only purpose is to prop up the male characters at the expense of her own development." "This woman's contributions to the story were all for naught and she ultimately was there to play damsel or die developing someone else." "Here's an awful racially charged portrayal." "Here's a blatantly transmisogynistic writing decision." "Here's a story where all women except for some special girl who is different from the others are all either cruel, idiots, or cruel idiots." "Here's a girl who just... kind of exists I guess? What did they even do with her?"

So much of it is all like that. Bad enough that when people talk about 'media and fandoms treating female characters poorly', it seems like almost every one has some sort of story to tell. But when you really look at it from a big picture perspective, so much of it is so banal. It would be bad too if it was all "interesting", don't get me wrong. But perhaps it does say something about the nature of oppressive systems if so much of it ends up looking so nauseatingly cookie cutter.

hi everyone. it appears i've caught a bad case of the very sick disease(TM). thus, here is why shunatsu/natsushu is canon to me and why you all should consider it. (and consider writing more fics for ao3. i can't pull everyone's weight alone, here.)

1) i haven't been able to find the story yet, but Voyage! The Cruise That Meets The Sea is right there. they could have picked anyone to be stranded on an island with switch during natsume's event. who did they pick? that's right, the frenchman with less survival instinct than he has tolerance for twitter users. also if cruise of encounters unbloomed isn't one of the fruitiest cards in the game then i don't know what is.

these are shu's hands. shu is taking a picture of him. he's taking it in PORTRAIT MODE. to CAPTURE THE BEAUTY. "oh wow what a pretty butterfly i must capture this butterfly next to you" THE BUTTERFLY IS NOT IN THAT FRAME DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF.

2) shinsekai. i don't think i need to explain myself but i will anyway. huge event, giant story, natsume knows shu well enough to make uncanny and terrible fakes of him (the smartest person in the room is able to either get a 100% or a 0%), the ending, the ending, the ending, THE ENDING, THE ENDING

3) this fucking card

everyone is offering their shoulder to him. all of his beloved and trusted nii-sans. and whose does he take, without hesitation and without him even offering? that's what i thought. look how comfy they look. i need to start fucking writing that natsushu café au i am going insane

4) this point is mentioned above but these two have a deep bond that goes seldom otherwise seen. even within the other eccentrics, very few get close to either of them besides one another, with the exception to their unit members (i'd say their relationship together actually matches, say, natsumugi for example. plus as far as i'm aware, not to throw shade, but shu hasn't pissed natsume off multiple times about dressing femininely to the point where natsume actually gut punched him really hard? i like natsumugi and all but, like, wow.)

5) sorry not sorry i'm dragging shinsekai into this again. did you see how shocked and overjoyed natsume was when shu called him by his name? when he finally said the word "natsume"? how he felt as though, because of shu, he was just as much a part of the old, odd family as anyone else? and how shu treats him as more of an equal than any other eccentric does????? and this is a display of that effort to do as such?????????????

6) both natsume 5* events so far have included shu in some way. and the event raison d'être happened alongside natsume's feature scout 2 banner. this evidence is paper thin, but i'm including it anyway because it drives me insane.

7) the way they look at each other here. i'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel now, but whatever.

8) i said so.

9) setting aside their history, their dynamic is still perfect. trickster silly insane but actually normal boyfriend x perfectionist no-nonsense normal but actually insane boyfriend? and they're very fond of each other in spite of (or because of) their differences? where they both have the capability of going full tsundere, but regardless are abnormally affectionate with one another? that's perfect. please give me an example of a better dynamic. i will wait here like Hachikō for you to return with one.

still not convinced? fine. you like shumika? consider, then, shunatsumika. you like natsumugi? consider shunatsumugi (and watch as shu and tsumugi get into a fistfight in bed). put your poly of choice all in a room with hidden cameras and witness yaoi take place before your very eyes. or you can be brave and do all four at once in the same ship. go nuts.

don't be shy. i'm the only person on the internet currently writing for them. all content is good content, and all consumers are appreciated deeply and welcome.

- 君達の世界、夏宗。

Ok spit it out, what's with these doubleblack yaoi boys you've been posting. um spill? don't worry about spoilers, i don't want to watch anime i just want to know

doubleblack yaoi boys. ok so first of all sorry for answering Days later i hope u still see this i'm so sorry i don't even know how to explain myself i don't remember what i've been doing. yesterday i was watching a bunch of friday the 13th movies but besides that i have no excuses. secondly i love the energy bc this is exactly how i ended up watching bsd i just cared about them a lot and learned everything i could until i decided i got this far i might as well just watch the damn thing. and i will say w the experience i have. it's not worth it babe just look at them they're the best part you're not missing out. anyway. i don't KNOW WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY UMMMMM the source material is this thing called bungo stray dogs it Is funny bc they decided the way to go abt this was make anime boys out of famous authors and like put half of them in the mafia so you have to sit there and nod when they call edgar allan poe a famous criminal or whatever. like 👍 and then they have powers based on one of their most famous books or whatever. and they're faggy. you will have to see people talk abt fyodor dostoevsky getting hole.

but besides all the Sillies. the doubleblack boys you ask about have genuinely honest to fucking god become like. one of my favorite pairing like. thematically or whatever. their dynamic is insane they are so cool. uhhhh hang on i'm embarassed let me hide

idk they're. they meet at 15 years of age teenagers by my chemical romance blasting. dazai is a member of the local /mafia/ and he's like a pathetic wet cat. he's sad and weird. he feels bored w life and finds it to be, frankly, Not Worth It so he's like passively suicidal but he won't straight up DO IT bc he doesn't like to be in pain bc he's a little baby. he joined the mafia thinking that maybe if he exposes himself to death and violence he'll change his mind but it hasn't worked yet it just made him Fucked Up. his special ability is called no longer human and he can switch off anyone's powers by touching them and it kinda gives him brainworms (will elaborate later). he's the one w the dark hair and wrapped in bandages and the most beautiful boy in the world. chuuya is a street punk baby gang (they're called The Sheep. smh) member ajfjakfiisg he Hates the mafia Hates authority is so so loyal to his little friends and he seems to be just Amiable and likable cause everyone's immediately fond of him to some extent and he's always surrounded by friends or making small talk. and he's like so fuckin bold and brave and arrogant cause he's got according to the author Thee strongest powers in this universe so he never has to like. stop and think. his ability is called upon the tainted sorrow and controls gravity. he's so kickass and liddol. he only fights using his liddol leggies to kinda rein himself in. he's got the red hair and always wears a choker bc he's so sexy and not like other girls.

so they meet bc chuuya's gang has been getting Big thanks to his powers to the point where the mafia's concerned and also they're investigating on some rumors abt arahabaki which is like an old god. chuuya gets dragged to the mafia hq, ends up having to work w dazai to solve this arahabaki stuff, and they. boohoo they DON'T like each other they DON'T wanna work together >:((( they're little enemies to ????? but the thing is To Me they don't even. hate each other that much. like they clash personality-wise sure and they get on each other's nerves on purpose Sure but also they're kids. it's not that big of a deal. they still take time to play arcade games together and make stupid bets during their mission. they're so endearing actually. anyway the catch Is. that arahabaki is actually this thing called a singularity which is when you put together two abilities that have kinda opposite effects and the Government had been doing experiments to create that power so they can use it and CHUUYA's one of the experiments wahh!!! the result is that chuuya has Another cool power called corruption where he just goes batshit and like throws black holes around and stuff and he's unstoppable but the catch is that once he activates this power he can't stop it he just has to wait until it consumes him and he Dies. here's where dazai's nullification ability comes in. more on that later. (it's as if they can only truly Work together. it's as if they were made to be together. haha 🤪) a member of the mafia (Arthur Rimbaud) reveals that he was There when chuuya blew up bc he actually wanted to keep chuuya as a little meat puppet and use that power for himself and YET! even after hearing this! chuuya gets attached to him. like yea the two of them kill him (through the power of Holding Hands mind you) but then he visits his grave and shit. bc this was the first person to tell chuuya that he's human. coming from a place of having seen first hand what makes him feel like he isn't. so he cherishes that a lot. after that the sheep Betray chuuya after some Dazai Manipulation Of Everyone™ bc he does that yk he's a little shithead he's a little evil. BUT he kinda had good intentions bc he's Clever and Observant and noticed so easily how much the sheep were using chuuya for his abilities and he has a Thing where he doesn't. love people using chuuya like that. so he wanted to cut him out of the gang and have him join the mafia with Hiiiiim instead :) and chuuya's mad at him. cause he still took his friends away from him.

but he does join the mafia he Does kinda like it there and him and dazai are assigned to be full time Partners and they get the nickname soukoku, or double black, The Most Feared Duo in the city, thanks to their little corruption-no longer human trick that just wipes out any enemy like it's nothing. then they uhh there's a bit where chuuya is like actually pissed of at dazai unironically for Once and dazai's so mopey that he actually like behaves like a good person so chuuya forgives him. my girl is mad at me i hope i die fr. i'm not familiar enough w this Piece of Lore so i can't elaborate further but like i'm obsessed w it.

anyway THEN jump to when they're about 18 dazai makes another friend named oda who like. sure he's soul-tied to chuuya forever but oda (and Another guy who i don't even wanna Think about) are the only people he'd Call friends. (also they're like a few years older than dazai and i'm Obsessed w the fact that he's such a miserable weirdo that the only people besides chuuya that he can make genuine friends with are some. adults.) and then oda DIES and the fault lies both in the mafia and the third friend and his final words are something about how he wishes he could have gotten out of the mafia to be a good person and he hopes dazai gets to do that. and it kinda Shapes the rest of dazai's life. he switches his perspective around and decides that if exposing himself to death and violence didn't Fix him maybe now he can try being Nice and Helping People and maybe that will make him feel like it's worth being alive. so he disappears from the mafia and a while later joins a local detective agency which is where we find him when the story actually starts. the night he leaves chuuya gets drunk. because he's soo happy. (i think he lied. abt being happy)

the first time chuuya and dazai meet again after this is in some fuckin Dungeon and dazai's chained to the wall and chuuya says it looks Hot and then they talk shit and bicker until they end up collaborating and chuuya lets him go (aka dazai talks his way out of it) and then they pull some fucking cringy ass Joke and they Laugh abt it and it's like. oh wow they're still the same. after all this time apart. we're still Like That and we haven't changed. :) after That they reunite in an episode named after them where they have to babysit some creepy enby kid w a spooky evil doll and fight H. P. Lovecraft during which chuuya has to use corruption and it's Glorious. it had been said that dazai is like speechless and completely fascinated by chuuya when he uses corruption. lol.

then there's the fucking MOVIE. oh my GOD. the main thing w them from the movie is. oh man. dazai 1. joins the Bad Guys but actually he's just Infiltrating to Defeat Them From Within 2. gets found out bc he's not that smooth and stabbed w a poisoned knife 3. gets trapped in a fuckin Dragon or smth and is realistically and understandably presumed dead. and then chuuya gets called in to kill this Dragon (i will not give more context on the Dragon bc i for one just barely understand what the hell is going on) and the only choice is to use corruption even tho he gets advised to not do that since dazai's probably dead and without him chuuya WILL die too. but he's like nah no way. that cockroach would NEVER die. (i trust him) so he uses corruption smashes the dragon to bits and even in the fucking. fugue state that he gets into. he spots dazai manages to recognize him calls out his name and fucking. punches him in the face. making him swallow some antidote he had hidden in his mouth all along. bc somehow dazai ALWAYS knows (remember he's clever) and he's ALWAYS one step ahead. but chuuya always knows HIM. they hadn't discussed this they just. trusted each other to have their back no matter what. dazai trusted chuuya to make him take the antidote and chuuya trusted dazai to snap him out of corruption even when it made no sense. it's about the TRUST!!! like yea no matter the circumstances the relationships the affiliations. this is him. he's got me. hey. of course. this is insane. chuuya punches him. technically upon contact corruption is now switched off. and then dazai reaches up to touch his cheek so softly. and says "you used corruption believing in me? how beautiful" people died tbh. oh you used your super insane deadly powers? even if as far as you were concerned i was as good as dead? you trust me that much? and You trust me enough to sit around this whole movie w a pill in your teeth knowing i'd make you swallow it just at the right moment? how did he even KNOW they're so insane. (then chuuya says "yeah i believed in your disgusting vitality and craftiness" and dazai answers "that was a somewhat violent way of waking snow white" shut the fuck up tbh) this is the highest moment. i will be forever insane. and then dazai like shoved chuuya's head in his crotch but i don't fucking CARE STOP BEING HORNY

and then we get to the latest season and chapters. oh man. ok so. dazai's in superjail w his actual archnemesis Fyodor Dostoevsky. people are becoming vampires. stick w me. fyodor brings chuuya Into superjail to help him kill dazai. chuuya is now a vampire and YES he is serving cunt. dazai almost drowns fyodor and chuuya to death and does a sad gay little speech abt how it's sad that it had to end this way and "there were moments where our hearts reached out to each other" girl WHAT???? "like…" and he THINKS abt them doing the corruption trick and holding hands to defeat rimbaud and just Existing next to each other BUT WHAT HE SAYS IS NOTHING. he just waves it off like he ~actually~ can't think of anything bc he doesn't even care haha bye die!! he is so PATHETIC. he is so if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more -core tbh. he's such a liar. and THEN fyodor has chuuya shoot him in the head. lol. and what dazai has to say about THIS is like oooo maybe if i say something sweet chuuya will come back to normal. and so he says "chuuya our fate will not end in a place like this because you and i are destined to" and then he gets SHOT. IN THE HEAD!!! AND I LAUGHED ABOUT IT!!!! personally this was very "you know i… i…" "i don't know" "but he knew well enough" book reddie of them to be h. anyway. dazai's not dead. and you know what's funnier. chuuya was never even a vampire. he put on fake teeth and contacts and Lied. Pretended. Successfully. to like one of the smartest characters in this universe. hello. now i don't KNOW if i'm meant to read this as in it was always planned or if chuuya had this plan and dazai had to catch up w it like i don't know at what point does dazai know that chuuya was faking it. any theory on this is Hilarious to me. but he said the corniest shit to this man's face. good lird. yk before this season people argued that it was chuuya who cared abt dazai more and i can understand where you'd get that from considering how cold and distant and Fake dazai is (you'd be wrong and stupid) but like i feel like after this dazai's lookin pretty down bad ngl. i don't think there's any imbalance between them but if i had to pick. yk. anyway. chuuya Did actually shoot him but then he used his gravity powers to slow the bullet down Inside of the gun so that it wouldn't kill him and fyodor wouldn't see it. and dazai's like. oh yeah this trick? this little game? we used to do this all the time :) HELLO!!!!!! obsessed w THEM!!!! THEY FUCKED AROUND LIKE THIS? OF COURSE THEY DID. i KNOW they sat around age 16 and crafted the most RIDICULOUS convoluted plans Just In Case and then they give them little code names that they STILL remember YEARS after their partnership fucking ENDED this was insane. and then just walk it off? THEY ARE UNPARALLELED. PERIODT.

so. the girls who don't get it will say they hate each other or whatever. me personally i think it's bullshit. i think they just have That type of vibe. obviously they care. obviously they trust each other more than anyone else w everything they have at all times. and maybe they just also find each other fucking annoying and that's All. when they're 15 dazai finds him obnoxious bc he's too impulsive and never bothers to strategize bc he can rely on his powers being soooo fuckin strong and that's All. i think he's just jealous bc he wishes he could be as lazy as chuuya can afford to be. like he has lichrally Nothing to hate chuuya for he's perfect. chuuya on the other hand,,, besides just personality differences where he finds dazai depressing and offputting JAJDJAKFKAKG like dazai takes his friends away from him. his family the only place he feels he belongs to. i get being mad at dazai after that. but not even for long bc he ends up liking the mafia more anyway and agrees w dazai that the sheep were trash to him so what's left. i don't KNOW if dazai ever commits other significant crimes to him like 😭😭 don't get me wrong he might. i mean it when i say he's kinda evil. he might have done some other shit and i'm forgetting. but i don't think there's anything major that causes genuine hate. the closest thing i can imagine is that dazai, again, dragged him away from his friends, into the mafia, and then leaves him there alone. chuuya's loyal to a fault and can't stand betrayal so i'm sure he's pissed. but dazai also says at some point (not to him ofc) that he regrets not bringing chuuya w him when he left the mafia. sigh. so i think it's just mostly silly bickering.

on a Deeper sense i have some Thoughts abt. ugh. i sort of briefly mentioned that chuuya has some issues w feeling human, and dazai has some issues w his ability (no longer human) and like. besides the trust. this is becoming my favorite thing abt them. at their Core they have the same Thing they just go abt it in the opposite way. neither of them feels like a real human being. chuuya has this very artificial power inside of him so strong that it has a will of its own and dazai has a power that deletes if momentarily other powers. they're both a fuckin. affront to nature in their own ways. and when dazai doesn't feel human he just responds w apathy and like whatever ok i'm not then i wanna die and get it over with what's the point. but when CHUUYA doesn't feel human he's fuckin upset abt it and he wants to idk fight to be human anyway and prove himself wrong. and i feel like. they meet and chuuya sees this perfectly human boy who doesn't appreciate having what he's always struggling for. and dazai sees someone who's justified in feeling separated from humanity and yet he wants to force himself into it ? like man i WISH i had an excuse for feeling like this. and chuuya's like man i wish i hadn't had anything done to me that makes me feel like this. and so they're like,,, so fundamentally mad at each other but then they're also the only other bitch they know w this specific problem so even if they go abt it so differently there's comfort there too that they can't get anywhere else like. they are functionally stuck together bc who else is ever gonna Get It. and chuuya always wants proof that he's just as human as anyone else but then dazai !! he knows perfectly well !!! that chuuya IS like def more human than he'll ever be at the very least bc he knows !! better than chuuya ever will !! what it's actually like to be separated from humanity !! and dazai sees all this passion and energy into this little guy and like how could you ever doubt how could you ever wonder. what else would all this come from if you're not human. i don't even have an ounce of this and technically i Am human so what. dazai takes HIMSELF out of humanity chuuya was TAKEN out of it. and then their power. the fact that dazai's powers that he doesn't even like actively take away what makes chuuya feel less human ?!! there is some kind of mutual aid going on. dazai's ability CAN'T be that bad if it's at least fixing chuuya and it's in fact the ONLY thing that can save chuuya's life. and the irony of it being called no longer human when it does the opposite for chuuya. they're the only thing that sort of justifies themselves to Themselves. the place where the inherent anger for each other comes from is also where the inherent trust comes from. so even if they piss each other off and even if they'd never admit to any positive feelings like they'd do for their other friends they're just. tied. red string or whatever. i think the reason why they Keep finding their way to each other even when they work for enemy factions is Well They Have No Choice for better or worse they'll always be stuck together ! for worse probably. i don't think they're thrilled by that. but no one else is ever gonna Get Me like this bitch !!! so we're sticking together. can you believe i'm chuuya nakahara and the only time i can use the full extent of my powers is when This Guy is around. i can never be 100% myself w anyone else. and can you believe i'm osamu dazai and the only time that i feel like my powers aren't an offense to nature itself is when i use them to keep This Guy from blowing up. so my Burden isn't that bad it's actually Good sometimes. probably just for him but that will do. they're like i can never use all of my powers/i can never use my powers in a way that makes me feel ok except when he's involved. no they're fucking insane tbh it's fascinating.

dazai SAYS MULTIPLE TIMES that he thinks abt chuuya every moment of every day (specifically on how to piss him off but Still) (it's their love language) dazai stopped wishing he could die when he was 15 bc he met chuuya and he was the only exciting surprising thing that he'd seen so far and he wanted to stay alive to figure him out. chuuya keeps using corruption over and over and he puts his life in dazai's hands over and over and he never misses. dazai's the only one who's immune to chuuya - his stupidly strong powers sure but also his stupidly strong physical combat skills bc he knows him well enough to dodge. chuuya's the only one who can understand where dazai's going w his plans and meet him there. dazai calls him slug and chuuya calls him mackerel. once someone close to chuuya saw them stand side by side and said they were surprisingly perfect together. you know. so on so forth. do you Get It

also they're like in love and fucking i guess but that's collateral. i'm not gonna pretend to be strictly intellectual abt them. yas we ship them in a silly sexy way. but also they're incredibly fascinating just the way they are in the text. yk what i mean ?

here look at them as a treat. manga collage in chronological order anime reunion and official art for the movy. what on earth i say

#ask #pls lmk if u see this i'd hate to like. leave u hanging. i'm so sorry i like them so much that i overwhelmed myself at the chance to #fuckin talk abt them sjdkskcksf #i busted out Google Docs for this. it's LONG. i'm insane. sorry

TEAM YAOI (Luke x Jamie) (Jin x Hwoarang)

You’ve got to take Jin and let me take Jamie, Luke.

No way Hwoarang. You keep your fucking hands off him.

The object is to make him come. He hates you. He’s not going to—

He doesn’t hate me!

He seemed pretty spiteful in front of the Horseys.

He’s confused, that’s all.

If the two of us don’t score they could tie the match!

I don’t care!

A coach walked into the frame. Luke! Hwoarang! Get over to the beds!

The camera switched back to Peyton and Lili

Well, well, well! A lot of drama for our final event.

This is where things go kind of like the Twilight Zone for me, Peyton said. I mean how diabolical can a sport be? Jamie is going to have sex with his ex-boyfriend.

The view changed to three padded tables. Five seniors stood beside them.

Luke glared at Jamie who kept his back to him. Spiky-haired senior Jin was biting his nails.

Hwoarang wrapped his arms around Hwoarang from behind. He gasped.

Hey, cutie. I heard you’re a virgin. Is that true?

Y-yeah.

Jin caressed his cheek. “I’m honored. I’ll be gentle with you, okay?

Hwoarang swallowed and nodded.

Peyton clutched her hands together below her chin. “Aww! Hwoarang is chivalrous.

I guess you’re too sparkly-eyed right now to explain the rules", Lili said.

“The Beds are the only event where competitors have full-on sex with each other. The receiver lies on his back while getting double-teamed by two opponents. One of them penetrates and the other fondles. They have to make him come in under ten minutes to score. If the receiver doesn’t come then his team gets the point.

Jin climbed onto a padded table and rolled onto his back. Hwoarang lubed himself while standing in front of him. Luke moved to the head of the table.

Oh, man!” Luke said, “Jin’s so nervous. It’s damn sexy.

The ref blasted his air horn next to them. Hwoarang caressed Jin’s thighs and made eye contact.

"I’m going to lube you now, all right?"

"Okay," Jin said.

“Jin’s already turned on,” Peyton said. “Hwoarang is very seductive.”

Lars ran onto the field. He tossed over Jin’s table, dumping the spiky-haired senior on the grass.

“Ow!”

The ref blew his air horn and threw out a pink hanky.

“What the Hell are you doing?” Hwoarang screamed.

Lars ran over to Jin and grabbed him around the chest. “I’m going to be his first! You hear me!”

Jin’s face became horrified. “Lars…what—?”

“I tried to save you, baby! I got DQed before the match even started.”

“He did it on purpose?” Peyton said.”

“Jin wrests himself from Lars’ arms. “You selfish idiot! You’ve been holding our team back all season!”

“But—but Jin! I think I love you!”

Jin ran over to Hwoarang. “There’s no love in Sex Wars!” He put an arm around Hwoarang’s shoulder. “I’m not going to let him be my first. You want to continue this in the locker room?”

Hwoarang squeezed him. “Fuck yeah!”

They marched off the field together.

“Jin!!”

A ref blasted an air horn in Lars’ face. “Get off the field! Your team is out of the match!”

Lars ran away sobbing.

The camera is fixed on Peyton and Lili.

(Inside the Announcers Booth)

"Well," Peyton said with wide eyes.

"Well Indeed," Lili said

"That just leaves… Luke and Jamie!"

Jamie stood next to Luke with his arms crossed.

"I don't want to do this, I'd rather lose the match."

Luke's face crumbled. "Why do you hate me so much?"

"Because you left me Meathead! you left the team! You joined up with our biggest rivals! How could you do that, Luke? "

Luke snuffled. "I had no choice! I couldn't keep a B grade average and I lost my athletic scholarship!"

Jamie blinked.

"What?"

"Why didn't you take my calls, Luke? I wanted to tell you! I wanted us to stay together.

Rosewood Academy is too expensive—

"Without the scholarship, I was going to have to drop out."

"Rosewood Academy is so damn expensive," Peyton said.

Jamie looked downward aghast.

"I had no idea."

Luke pulled him into his arms.

"I never wanted to leave you. Don't you know how hard that was for me?"

"Oh, Luke — can you ever forgive me?"

Luke brushed his cheek with the back of his hand.

"Yes, my pretty boy" He leaned down to kiss him.

The hostess stood watching them connecting their tongues with their bodies pressed together. She cleared her throat.

Jamie broke from the kiss. He looked into Luke's ocean-blue orbs

"Fuck me"

Lili shuddered

"Oh my "God, yes!"

"Jamie needs to focus. If he can hold out, he'll tie the game."

"Shut up! it isn't about the game anymore."

The hostess blew the air horn.

Jamie climbed onto the padded bed backward while pulling Luke towards him

The taller blond caressed the sides of his body.

He attached his lips to one tender nipple making Jamie close his eyes.

"Mmm"

Luke kissed him on the other side and gave that nipple a soft bite.

Then his mouth trailed downward.

Jamie began to blush with his entire body.

Luke blew soft kisses over his stomach causing goose pimples to sprout.

He French kissed the head of his cock

"Ohhhhh!"

Luke used his fingers to slip inside Jamie.

The smaller Chinese man grasped a fistful of his hair.

"Uh!, Yeah!, Mmmph!"

Luke engulfed his cock and pulled back on the muscle hard enough to make it go from curved to straight.

His head bobbed up and down frantically while keeping up the tortuously hard sucking.

Jamie began to writhe on the bed.

"Oh shit, Luke!"

Jamie Siu! (Chanting)

"The crowd is chanting for their favorite Rosewood Academy athlete!" Lili said

"Maybe that will get his head back in the game. He needs to stay focused, damn it!"

"Tsk. Someone's been hitting the sports book again" Peyton said.

"Who, me? I would never!" Lili said.

Luke stood to pour lube on his cock with shaking hands.

He grabbed Jamie's ankles and pressed into him.

Uhh! Ohh!

Luke's about to come inside, Jamie!

"That's allowed," Lili said.

Jamie started to masturbate. He moaned with his eyes closed shut.

Luke leaned over to clutch his hips.

His pelvis rammed into him hard enough to make the bed squeak.

"Fuck me Meathead!, oh yeah!" Jamie said. The crowd rose and cheered.

"Look at him working that ass! No one can pound it better than Luke"

Luke flipped Jamie over so he was bent over the bed.

A camera drew near to catch his penetration from the new angle.

Luke's thick and big cock into Jamie's hole to the root.

"Ohhhhh!"

Luke squashed Jamie's buttocks with every furious thrust.

"You—you getting close, babe?"

Jamie opened his eyes. "I'll be close in one minute thirty-eight seconds."

Lili lifted her arms in celebration.

"Yes! You go, Jamie!"

"You're trying to score pretty boy?" Luke said

"Yeah. So are you Meathead?"

"I thought this was a reconciliation fuck! Pretty boy"

"Sure, babe, so let's make it last, Meathead"

"Bitch!"

Luke flipped Jamie over his back and shoved his cock into him.

He pulled a vibrating glove from his chaps.

"We're undefeated! Rosewood Academy should take the loss!"

Luke gave him an evil smirk.

"What! Luke, I love you but I'll be damned if I let you win!"

Luke fisted his shaft with the vibrating glove.

Ohhhh!

He continued to pound into his ass.

"Fine! This ain't personal anymore.

It's business!"

Luke squeezed his fingers around the base of his cock.

He pressed his thumb between his testicles.

Jamie's cock turned into a vibrating blur.

He grabbed Luke's wrist.

"Oh!, ah! no!"

Luke bit his bottom lip. "Shit I can feel it vibrating in your ass."

He pumped his hand an inch up and down.

Jamie squirmed on the bed. His lips flailed and his hips twisted.

His flushed face looked in pain.

Ngh! Ahh!

Luke stabbed him deep with his cock and shuddered.

"Umph! I'm coming!"

"Ahh! Don't say that! You're going to make me...!"

The monitor became a split screen with one camera focused on his tremulous cock, and another showing an overall view of Vegeta struggling on the bed.

"Oh, man!" Lili said.

"Twenty seconds to go— come on Jamie!"

"His balls are starting to clench. Just listen to him whimper."

Jamie dug his nails into Luke's wrist.

"Stop...uhh! Let's go… Pretty boy!"

{Pained Grunt}

"You let go, Meathead."

{Pained Grunt}

Luke pumped faster.

"Ten, Nine, Eight!"

"The crowd is counting down! You can do it, Jamie!"

"...Four! Three! Two!"

An air gun blasted through the stadium.

"Uhhhhhh!"

Jamie's body contorted up from the bed.

"Huh! Uhh! Ahhhhh!"

Aw, what a shame. looks like Starlight Academy maintains its undefeated streak.

Lili crossed her arms and pouted.

"Damn it! just one more second and we would have tied."

"All's fair in love and sex wars. I'm happy to see Luke and Jamie kissing each other in the moonlit afterglow. At least Jamie's not a sore loser. He's a sore winner!"

That's it for this week's Tri-Academics sex wars! Tune in next time to see Dreamy Boys Institution take on Seme Techi College!

Goodnight Everyone!

(In the year later at Rosewood Academy Campus)

Luke kisses Jamie's neck and touches Jamie's butt until Peyton and Lili, and even Jin and Hwoarang show up.

"Luke, stop it!" Jamie said.

"Oh, why?" Luke asked so innocently.

Jamie points out Peyton and Lili giggles at him and Luke.

"Oh my, you two are so lovey-dovey with each other!" Lili said.

"Oh, Lili!" Jamie said with a blush on his face.

"Awe Jamie is blushing so adorable!" Peyton said.

"Peyton!" Luke and Jamie said.

"What?, I thought it was so cute when Jamie was blushing at you, Luke," Peyton said.

"Well Jamie, I love you and I want to be with you for now and forever," Luke said.

"Luke, I love you too and I will stay with you forever too," Jamie said.

Jamie reached up to kiss Luke on his lips.

Luke kisses Jamie back.

Jin and Hwoarang are blushing at each other during Luke and Jamie's public display of affection.

"Hwoarang-kun I have had a huge crush on you for a long time and I want to kiss you," Jin said with a blush on his face.

"Kazama...." Hwoarang said until Jin kissed him on the lips.

Jin and Hwoarang hold each other and kiss.

Luke and Jamie are still kissing each other.

"Awe, it's so beautiful!" Peyton said.

"I love it too!" Lili said.

"What's going on babes?" Forest asked.

"Ugh, it's Forest Law," Peyton said, annoyed.

"Wow, they are in love with each other," Forest said.

"It's Romance Forest," Lili said.

"Geez Sorry, Lili," Forest said.

"Hey, Peytonanya!" Tristan said.

"Hey Tristan, what are you doing here?" Peyton said.

"Well to see you I guess," Tristan said.

Peyton hugs Tristan so tight.

Forest hugs Lili.

"Jamie, why are Lili and Peyton hugging Tristan and Forest?" Luke asked Jamie.

"Maybe Love in the air," Jamie answered.

"Oh okay but it's still our romantic moment," Luke said.

"Oh Meathead, just shut up and kiss me!" Jamie said.

"Okay Pretty boy," Luke said.

{Laughs}

Luke lifts Jamie to kiss him again.

They kiss and then stop to look each other in the eyes.

"You make me feel so alive and loved at the same time," Jamie said with tears

"Thank you for being there for me during the hard times," Luke said while wiping the tears from Jamie's face.

Luke and Jamie kiss and then stop looking at each other and hug each other so tight for the final time.

one of my friends didn't know what ygo sevens was so they asked me to horribly explain the main (or more common) characters to them

SO IMA TYPE IT UP HERE (it's kinda long also I do swear a lot so you've been warned)

Ygo Se7ens (horribly summarized)

First we have our protag, lil 11-yr old hacker midget that's also an engineer. 11-yr old midget has many friends, such as boy who loves dragons and talks to cards also really wants to be king someday. We also have student council president guy who's also a Japanese ninja samurai guy who's also a rapper. Or a dj, whatever way you see it i guess. Then there's guitar lady who's most likely a lesbian and makes blue and pink curry that explodes. Then the cousin of guitar lesbian is gay homophobic celebrity boy. As in holy fuck make up your mind ya little shit. Gay homophobic celebrity boy is the vocalist in the rock band that's literally just his and his cousin's names squashed together. Other members in the band are gay guy that needs to find a better boyfriend and guy who's name is legit "look behind you." Not joking. Gay guy that needs to get a better boyfriend has a crush on gay homophobic celebrity boy. Toxic yaoi mmmmmmmmm scrumptious. Then our favorite identity crisis boy, "look behind you," is literally the best i mean just look at him (the original thing was on paper and there was a drawing) he's probably nonbinary and maybe knows Latin and Japanese, you can fight me on this. Likes urban legends. Then we have the children presidents. Oldest one, speedy boi, drives a car. Very colors of aro. Second oldest, ocean boi talks to dolphins+other sea creatures and can play the ukulele. Lovely first middle child, female autistic baseball gigachad. Likes fire. Second middle child, kendo guy (big stick) beat the shit out of 25+ people with said big stick. Youngest (i think) child is queer (very queer) catboy who likes puppets and can make them too. Called our favorite 11-yr old hacker midget cute. Those bitches are gay. Good for them. EHEM. then there's chameleon boy! He's shy, and was befriended by dragon boy! Chameleon boy is so nic- wait a minute he's actually the last child president???? Turns out, chameleon boy is actually chameleon boy that got his memories sealed away until they came back and he started wiping everyone's memories. Then there's a nice little girl- wait no she's actually 37. Wears a sign that says "I am an adult," to bars and gets called a little girl all the time. Then there's providence programmer guy he has glasses, a god complex and his best friend is a sentient robotic massage chair. How lovely. Then we have lesbian lady, she gets called princess and she has a forklift (I'm sorry don't kill me Asana) named R6. R6 can talk. Okay well only lesbian lady understands R6 but that's besides the point. R6 is one of the best in the show because he roasted gay homophobic celebrity boy and simultaneously traumatized him but he deserves it. Then there's angry lady. Everything about her is strong, even her eyebrows. Especially her eyebrows. Lesbian lady and angry lady are lesbians for each other. Then there's bitch guy. Bitch guy is 6" 9 I'm not even joking I wish I was. Bitch guy gave gay homophobic celebrity boy ✨trust issues✨ when he was a child by not giving him a playing card. That led to gay homophobic celebrity boy blackmailing his cousin, lesbian guitar lady, so she could spy on 11-yr old hacker midget, dragon boy who talks to cards, and student council president/dj/ninja. 11-yr old hacker midget was actually the one that got the playing card.

And that's where where I stopped writing

I'll update this later when I have more of Ygo Se7ens (Horribly Summarized)

#ygo sevens #yugioh sevens #Not tagging the characters y'alls get to figure out who's who lmao

11 and 25 for the dangerous game >:3

thanks mal! <33 (from this ask game)

11. number of fandom-related words you've filtered

just 3 on this account cuz it's my personal, none on my fanart archiving blog, and 7 on twitter though funnily enough half of those are stranger things-related from a period where i really couldn't escape stranger things. nothing against it—i just only want to see sp stuff and i guess there was a significant enough overlap for a bit

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

generally a lot of things that annoy me stem from the trend of complaining about "fetishization" (yaoi or just shipping culture i guess?) or acting like people are doing anything wrong or in need of pathologizing for interacting with fandom in a way that was totally routine a decade ago. that they need to show they're sufficiently queer and not focused on sexuality in any ~weird way. honestly, i find that sort of thing easy enough to block out on its own (there's more of it on twitter but i just look at art over there). young people often have shame about sexuality and it's none of my business or anything i would ever argue with someone about. i just disengage

it's more the reactions people have to being told they're doing something problematic. there's this endless chain of moral rationalizations for why it's ok to like the thing that piques one's interest because actually it's woke and you don't get it, i'm gay enough to like standard yaoi tropes. some real gay people are like this! you know.. like, why engage this in the first place? why lend any credence to this viewpoint by debating it on its own terms? you don't need to justify yourself to anyone. just keep yaoifying those fake guys

people end up making really weird generalizations about gender, sexuality, mental health, drug use, etc. in an effort to enjoy the old 00s yaoi tropes. to all those who do this, I'm here to tell you you can just enjoy whatever and no one can stop you. personally, even as a smut writer, i like when characters feel whole and often enjoy a fic less if i feel someone is being reduced to gendered stereotypes or flattened in some other way that doesn't interest or challenge me. but those are my own personal feelings and highly subjective besides

i also don't think sharing some broad identity marker with the character you are writing actually shields you from poor characterization. people can "fetishize" themselves easily (and sometimes that's what people want to read/write, and who cares), and it can be hard to write well-developed characters! i just like to read and view things i enjoy on the merits of the work alone

general "you can't ship that" and "he would never top/bottom" sentiments are similarly grating. people can and do ship literally anything and it can't be stamped out so idk why people waste their time streisand effecting ships/dynamics they don't like. with both of these, there's a sense of deluded entitlement, like if people weren't making stuff for their ship/dynamic, they'd be making it for yours. i promise you that that type of hectoring actually just drives people away from what you like. in general, people are often quite fixed in who their faves are and how they like them in romantic/sexual situations. but for those like me, who really can potentially like anything if sold in a way i find compelling, this stuff really confounds and frustrates me. people are bad at getting what they want because of this need to emotionally react without thinking through the way it might impact others. sad stuff to see from adults in particular tbh

#asks #shortkingkenny #thanks for the ask and sorry it was long as hell 😭#south park #discourse #shipping discourse

Dig a Grave to Dig Out a Ghost - Chapter 53

Original Title: 挖坟挖出鬼

Genres: Drama, Horror, Mystery, Supernatural, Yaoi

This translation is the product of my limited knowledge of Chinese characters as I attempt to learn the language. If I have made any egregious mistakes, please let me know.

Chapter Index

Buy me a Ko-fi ☕

Chapter 53

Merchants in Shanxi originated in the early Ming Dynasty and reached their peak in the Qing Dynasty. Taiyuan Province ruled five prefectures and 20 counties in the Ming Dynasty, including present-day Xinzhou, Shanxi, Yangquan and Luliang. There are still many compound remains, some of which are still in use. Lin Yan intended to bring Xiao Yu there. It was best to go where this may have all started. If not, at least he could find some impression of the old days in the deep courtyard of the brick and black tiles. Despite the 3,000 historical materials, they can only rely on the ghost's sporadic memories.

It was 8 o'clock in the evening when they arrived. The lights glowed in the summer night, the streets were full of traffic, and the food stalls next to the train station emitted the sound of roasting meat, which made these people, who had spent four days in the wilderness, unable to resist secretly salivating.

Finally, back in modern society, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Yin Zhou looked around the neon-flashing neighborhood in vain and sighed: "Buildings! Finally, we see a building with more than five floors! It's so foreign." He rushed up to pat Lin Yan's shoulder, "Tonight, we deserve to treat ourselves, I've thought about it. We stay at the Hilton and soak in the spa. You can treat us. Don't try and avoid it."

Lin Yan clutched his wallet and gritted his teeth.

When they were at the hotel's front desk, they ran into another difficulty. They hadn’t made a reservation in advance. When they arrived, the triple and single rooms were full, leaving only a standard room. Yin Zhou and A-Yan had already received their room cards and went up to their room to rest. A-Che insisted on staying with Xiao Yu. The lobby was glorious. The fox saw everything as new and fresh and ran to the fountain to fish for goldfish to play with. Lin Yan dared not look at Xiao Yu, and carefully said: "You take A-Che, and I'll get another room."

The front desk clerk checked the information on the computer and, from time to time, curiously looked at the two men with children out of the corner of his eye. His gaze moved across Xiao Yu's face, which made Lin Yan inexplicably upset, but he didn't dare to show it.

Xiao Yu was silent for a while and said let's stay together. I don't need to sleep at all. Besides, we're always together, I'm used to it. Lin Yan's palms were sweaty holding the signature pen. Hearing Xiao Yu's words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There were two beds. A-Che spread his arms and legs to occupy one of them, and Lin Yan slept on the other. Xiao Yu stared at the street scene in a daze. There was no night in the city. Behind the heavy curtains was a little bit of neon all over the street. It was a nest of red and green stars. Every time Lin Yan woke up, he would see Xiao Yu standing by the window in the same posture. He would whisper at him to go to sleep and the ghost would lightly shake his head. He didn't know how many times he woke up but when he opened his eyes again, the sky was already pale.

Xiao Yu's face remained the same. He had turned into a ghost, and all the feelings of fatigue and hunger left him like a stone, a thing drifting without roots and ground. Mortal contentment and happiness were also irrelevant to him.

He wished he could kiss those thin lips again and coax him to smile, but the ghost's eyes were staring into the distant void, and he had no time for him.

The self-service breakfast for two hundred and eighty people was extremely rich, but when A-Che got involved, the rest became errand runners. They weren't able to eat well at all. The little fox was all over the place, eyes bolting around at everything. They couldn't deny him the cakes, snack meat, sausages, and eggs. He didn't dare order Xiao Yu around. He only commanded Lin Yan and the others to run around and get food for him. Yin Zhou finally took a leisurely sip of soup and said sadly and indignantly that foxes should only eat raw meat. But A-Che's ears were very sharp, and he rubbed his belly proudly: "Don't you know where all the tributes you leave at your ancestors' graves go?"

"When the people leave, they will all serve our fox family. Big pieces of pork meat, salted fish, sausage and ham, steamed buns stuffed with meat, all delicious." A-Che shook his head, revealing a pair of pointed ears, "I was bored when I was a child. Sometimes I would turn into a person and come down the mountain to wander around. Grandfather didn’t know. If he heard about it, he would definitely beat me.”

An old couple at the next table couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard an eight-year-old talking about his childhood.

Lin Yan took a stack of travel brochures from the hotel's front desk, wrote down each of the addresses of the merchants' compound, and organized the schedule while A-Che followed suit. He couldn't read, so he only sorted through the pictures and complained when he saw they were all dark courtyards. In spite of Lin Yan's objection, he grabbed it and flipped through it, suddenly pointing to one of the pages and getting excited: "I want to go here!"

He was referring to a colourful promotional photo of an amusement park.

"No." Lin Yan snatched the booklet, "We won't be staying here for a few days. We have to hurry up and get to business."

When the fox heard this, he pursed his mouth and was about to cry.

"Hey, my brother will take you to eat six different flavours of meat sauce and listen to folk music." Lin Yan coaxed him in a good voice, "Your brother Yu is leaving soon. He doesn't have much time to play with you."

The tears in A-Che's eyes grew bigger as if they were about to fall at any moment. All of them took turns comforting him. Xiao Yu patted A-Che's head. He read the booklet carefully and said to Lin Yan: "It's okay. Take him there. The ancient city of Shanxi behind here looks familiar."

It turned out to be the opening ceremony of the restored ancient city relics garden. The promotional slogan said that the ticket price was 50% off. Not only were there various Ming and Qing buildings, special snacks and a carnival were stationed there during the summer vacation for children to have fun. At that time, a stage was set up in the garden to perform shadow puppetry and Pursuit*. A few small photos showed a square and formidable, massive courtyard with umber-black and vermillion tiles. The courtyard walls were extremely high, and two smooth blue stone drums were at the door. The ground shone with the waning light and shadows of the passing clouds. The time chosen to take the pictures was excellent. The porcelain blue sky was permeated with light pink. The branches everywhere stretched out into the ice pattern of Ru ware. The eaves were the most mysterious place. Black-clothed assassins hid under the cracks of the tiles. That was the old China in distant memories.

*(T/N: 1972 Hong Kong film)

Suddenly touched, Lin Yan nodded and followed. The little fox was so happy that he was about to jump up and spilled the sweet corn soup all over Yin Zhou all at once.

"Little menace." Yin Zhou cursed.

There was a tourist bus at the entrance of the hotel to pick up and drop off tourists. When they arrived at 8:00 am, the sky was slightly cloudy. The air was cool and the weather was great for sightseeing.

The restoration of the ruins, along with the modern repairs, was very grand. Plenty of cars were parked outside of the garden. Groups of children were being led by adults, holding balloons. Once A-Che saw them, he wanted to buy one. He couldn't wait to drag Xiao Yu over to the booth, staring at the paper-mâché kites. The shadow puppets, masked figures and lantern almost made his mouth water. He grabbed a few of each. He also fell in love with the blue cotton candy that was bigger than his head. Lin Yan rushed over to save the day, stuffed a few red notes into Xiao Yu's pocket, and said: "A-Che likes you. You show him around. Do you even recognize this money?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yu took the change from the vendor. The ghost's gloomy expression cleared up a bit with a playful child beside him, and he smiled at Lin Yan, "You come too. I can't handle him by myself."

Lin Yan put his hands in his pockets, feeling a little lost.

"What?"

"It's nothing. I just miss you." Lin Yan lowered his head and said. The music around them was blaring, and his voice was very low, but the ghost still heard it, and his expression was slightly shaken.

A-Che didn't notice the embarrassment between the two of them, so he took Xiao Yu's finger and pointed at the Ferris wheel: "I want to go on that."

Xiao Yu turned back to gesture, but Lin Yan was taken aback. It was a small glass box in which couples in love sat for fun, staring at each other for hours, overlooking the city scenery. He was so embarrassed that he wanted nothing more than to escape the situation. He quickly diverted the fox's attention, casually pointing to the right: "That's no fun. Let's go over there to play."

Surprisingly, 'other there' turned out to be a haunted house. On the promotional poster, there was a pale woman with long hair covering her face. It was like a midnight murder special, everything looked like it was out of Sadako.

Before he had time to regret it, A-Che had already changed his mind, holding both their hands and pulling them towards it.

The fox demon brazenly said that he was never afraid of ghosts and rushed up the pitch-black steps. After walking a few steps, the door closed, and they were surrounded by endless darkness. There were vents on the floor near their feet, gusts of wind sending chills up their bodies if they stood there too long.

A white shadow floated past them from the corner. It was a staff member pretending to be a ghost. Lin Yan bit his lower lip and told himself that it was all fake. A cold hand reached out and swiped at his ankle. He had to cover his mouth quickly, almost screaming.

Someone behind him was patting him on the shoulder, and his body went numb. Looking at the joyful couples walking up ahead, Lin Yan wished he could chop off the hand that had pointed them to this place.

The thick darkness blocked his vision; all he could see was Xiao Yu's back in front of him. He was wearing modern clothes, and the T-shirt was slightly small and taut on his body. He could vaguely see the well-proportioned, strong muscle lines, wide shoulders and narrow hips. A section of blueish-white neck was exposed behind long, tied-up hair.

As he was in a trance, a faint blue light was cast on both sides of the walkway. A head of black hair hung down in front of them. Her white skirt was fluttering. Sadako appeared from nowhere. Her hair was blown by the wind from the floor grates, and it was blowing coldly on Lin Yan's face.

"Xiao-Xiao Yu." He leaped out and grabbed the ghost's arm. He said in shock, "Don't go too fast."

"Are you afraid of this?"

Lin Yan's face turned blue, and he stammered: "I was frightened by this movie when I was a child. If I had known it was Sadako. . . I-I wouldn't have come in."

Xiao Yu changed positions with him, let Lin Yan walk a little ahead of him and turned his shoulders sideways, carefully protecting him. When he got close, he made contact, and their fingers touched. Lin Yan's palms were cold and sweaty, not much warmer than the ghost's.

In this man-made strange environment, the gloomy and depressing walkway, the winding maze that seemed to be impossible to navigate, the darkness feeds the imagination, and the imagination breeds demons. His ears were filled with the ghostly sighs of female charm, and behind every narrow corner, were hidden female ghosts. They were even hanging upside down on the ceiling. Their dead faces were blue, green and blackened. He accidentally bumped into a cold white dress, hair reminiscent of something unclean, like a clump of black hair tangled in the sewer.

He couldn't wait for this torment to end.

He was suddenly unable to hold out anymore. He grabbed the ghost's hand in the dark. Xiao Yu froze for a moment. He cupped Lin Yan's hand in his palm and clasped it tightly. Lin Yan turned around and put his arms around his waist, and the two embraced.

Time seemed to stop in this safe space, in the arms of his beloved, where the wind and rain can't invade. Scholars who deal with darkness and corpses all day long also get short of breath. Tired of being a hero, he became a young child. Heroes are short of breath, children are full of love. He sought refuge in a real ghost in a room full of fake ghosts.

"I want you, I want you, Xiao Yu, I really. . ." He ruthlessly bit the ghost's shoulder with his teeth, "I beg you, please don't leave me. . ."

The second half of the sentence wasn't actually spoken. It couldn't be uttered.

Xiao Yu gently stroked his back: "It's okay. Listen, let's go."

The two people finally found the exit after half dragging, half hugging each other. The sky was pouring down, and the little fox had jumped to the exit to wait for them. Seeing both of their abnormal expressions, he clapped his hands happily and laughed.

"You two really suck. You're afraid of ghosts, so shameless."

Seeing the cuteness of the child, passers-by couldn't help but stop and laugh.

If Lin Yan hadn't rushed over with a gesture of beating him up, the little guy's fox tail would have been proudly exposed.

Xiao Yu caught up with Lin Yan and grabbed his wrist. Lin Yan turned his head and looked at the other, so nervous that neither could speak.

"Lin Yan, I. . ."

"Pretend I didn't say anything. I was frightened. It was nonsense." Lin Yan interrupted him, striding forward.

After spending a whole morning in the amusement park, A-Che had played long enough. He had yelled and walked enough and Xiao Yu was carrying him on his back to go get ice cream. Lin Yan followed him, holding a bunch of his prizes in his hand. They had played pinball machines and knocked off the monkey king's head to win. They ate half of a candy man, then popcorn, and they got some glazed beads in a bag that was close to overflowing.

The little guy soon yelled that he was hungry again and went straight through the amusement park to the back exit. A long and secluded ancient road led directly to the ruins of the ancient city. There was an old-fashioned teahouse on the side of the road, with an elm threshold, a carved screen wall, and a newly pasted couplet reading, "A grasp of mundane affairs is genuine knowledge; an understanding of worldly wisdom is true learning." The three ancient houses were connected, and at the end, there was a pavilion where A-Yan and Yin Zhou were sitting and drinking tea, waiting for them.

There was a small table next to the pavilion and an antique blue and white porcelain vase filled with scrolls. The flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom, and the lilacs and clove branches grew densely, giving off a faint fragrance of grass and trees. On the other side of the pavilion was an artificial lake. A small bridge was built over the surface of the water. The wind blew the green lotus leaves and collectively rolled out white waves. Daffodils and sweet peas grew on the shore, and willow tree branches hung straight over the water. A string of small silver-blue butterflies hung upside down from the trees.

The three of them sat down. The waiter in the shop was dressed up in ancient costumes and quickly brought three bowls of herbal tea, and also gave them some herbal jelly powder that was included with their admission tickets. They mixed in some honey and ate it to relieve the summer heat.

"I asked. Behind us are the ruins of the ancient city. You may not be able to finish your shopping this afternoon. A stage will be set up at two o'clock for a shadow play, so you guys can go straight there after lunch and wait."

"Us?" Seeing Yin Zhou and A-Yan standing up and about to leave, Lin Yan wondered, "Why are you two leaving?"

Yin Zhou pointed to the table: "We took on the great effort of sitting on these stools and waited for you for three hours. We've eaten everything we could. The shopkeeper thought we were holding the table and I don't know how many times he rolled his eyes. The backup troops have finally arrived, so we're going to stroll around and you can do whatever you want."

"That's right." Yin Zhou winked at A-Che, "Come here, and I'll tell you what's delicious."

The fox's eyes rolled: "No, I'm going to eat everything I can."

"Tsk, I've got something to ask you." Yin Zhou couldn't stop himself from picking him up, "Animals are animals, and they look good in the zoo. Take them out of the zoo, and they aren't very majestic anymore."

The waiter brought a pot of aged bamboo leaves in a blue-and-white porcelain bottle, which looked strangely familiar. A-Yan greeted: "Try this. It's a local specialty, but you can't drink too much. There's a strong aftertaste, and it's easy to get drunk. I-I got dizzy for a while. "

The three of them moved faster than rabbits. Xiao Yu and Lin Yan sat face to face, looking at the lotus pond under Langyuan, not knowing what to say*.

*(T/N: 阆苑, Langyuan paradise, home of the immortals in verse and legends)

In the distance, a faint mist revealed the roof of the old city, tile by tile. There was a row of bright red lanterns and the noise of tourists and the music of the amusement park seemed far away. Time had stagnated under the slanting corner of the pavilion. A hundred years of time, that wine, that person, the passage of time in a disciplined existence.

The fine porcelain cup filled a glass of wine, tilting its neck to pour it out. It was crisp and refreshing, with a lingering aftertaste.

"It's not bad. It's hot. Do you want to try it?" Lin Yan smiled, poured another cup, and handed it to Xiao Yu. The ghost didn't refuse. He brought the glass to his lips and sipped it. Counting that as a drink, he pushed the glass back on the table.

His heart beat suddenly and violently.

After drinking this half of the remnant wine, I intend to drink half of your remnant wine, but I don't know if my groom agrees with me. . .

In a half-conscious state, Lin Yan picked up the cup, sipped at the place where he had sipped, and raised his eyes. A fox's eyes were not as attractive as his, and he stared at Xiao Yu slantingly. This ancient pavilion and the warm wine seemed to be cursed, an ancient and mysterious contract slowly woke up under Langyuan and jade ornaments, walking towards the deep house compound and the tall and wide walls, hiding at the door, waiting for them.

No one can escape the natural disasters that add to human calamities. Love was that natural disaster that led to calamity.

He rolled up his snow-white cuffs, wide and big sleeves, embroidered a light pink spring peach, a bit of femininity concealed under his tough exterior, deliberately leaving it for him to see. He warmed the jug of wine carefully and held it for him.

"You're busy with family affairs. All the stores won't let anyone leave. I can't personally send this rich playboy to the capital for the test. I will bid farewell to you and wish you a beautiful return."

"Lin Yan?" Xiao Yu frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

He still didn't realize it. He was tipsy. He raised his hand to caress his face, eyebrows, the corners of his eyes, and chin. . . People around were already giving sideways glances, watching two young men flirting in public. Lin Yan only felt as if he had a nightmare, looking at his face with fascination: "This journey will take several months. I'll miss you every day. Don't forget to send letters."

Xiao Yu held down his hand, putting it forcibly on the table, and took the glass away: "Don't drink this."

"Leave me alone. I dare to say this when I'm drunk." He stared at Xiao Yu stubbornly with infinite resentment, "At least I'm better than you. You never dared to."

Xiao Yu was not in the same space as him. He suddenly opened his eyes wide in astonishment. Was the person in front of him Lin Yan?

The little fox, A-Che, bounced over, holding a string of strawberry candied gourds wrapped in transparent sugar shells in his hand. He stuck it out under Lin Yan's nose: "This is delicious."

He turned to look at Lin Yan, then at Xiao Yu, and asked in surprise, "What are you two talking about? Why are you sweating?"

It felt like his soul left his body in fright. His whole body turned cold. Lin Yan suddenly came back to his senses and stared blankly at his palm.

Yin Zhou and A-Yan also rushed back. They grabbed the untouched herbal tea in front of Lin Yan and drank it to quench their thirst. They pointed to a place where a crowd had gathered in front of them: "There's a draw happening based on your ticket number. Should we go take a look?"

Lin Yan was too lazy to move. Yin Zhou dragged him up: "Let's go. You can eat later."

"There are so many people in the garden. It's strange for a draw. However you look at it, it looks like the old women queuing up to buy eggs in the opposite supermarket."

Yin Zhou said disdainfully: "Even if it is a basket of eggs, we've earned it. Hurry up. Maybe you'll save a few cents later. Grandpa Mao said we must treasure the RMB notes!" He said as he pushed Lin Yan out. He looked behind him and secretly gave A-Che a hint: "Are you sure about this?"

A-Che nodded.

"Okay, I'll trust you once. Your elder brother Lin Yan is in a bad mood. Let's coax him. You have to act badly. So, hurry up and throw yourself in the toilet."

It really strikes me that people treat fanfic authors as if they don't know anything about writing, which is weird because even before I wrote fic I cowrote a stage play I got an award for back in high school, poetry my teachers would frequently compliment, and my own original ideas in novel format- which structurally you learn in high school it's not some fucking Devine Knowledge no one knows about? If you didn't learn what an inciting incident is and the basic structure of a novel and tropes like The Heroes Journey by eleventh grade then fine but don't project that onto a format of writing you have some weird vendetta against. After that I went to uni and wrote dozens of academic essays for my degree, some of them quite extensive in length and obviously there's technical skill involved in that writing.

Besides that after I stopped writing fic I learned how to write screenplays and wrote like 3 episodes of TV shows in film school- which by the way used other showrunners ideas because writing an episode of an existing show is how you build a portfolio. That's right fanfic hating assholes, if you want a tv writing job pull out ur fuckin fanfic out so your ability to capture the voice of another show can be judged. I also wrote a movie script in school and I highly doubt I'm some Special Snowflake among fic authors, so where the hell does this idea that fic authors are all 13 year old yaoi obsessed morons who've never even seen a book their whole life and never learned even the most basics of writing like what an adjective is come from?

I know people who hold this idea don't seem to think they're misogynists but they treat fic identical to how people treat romance and erotica outside of Fic World and I highly doubt two areas in which women are the ones doing most of the writing would get targeted with the exact same rhetoric of "that's not real writing" for completely different reasons if the arguments against the fiction are basically the same. Because obviously Real Literature doesn't have romance, sex, or women writing it.

Regardless, it's utterly asinine to assume fic authors have no idea how to write because they're writing fic- like actually no, technically speaking I'm qualified to write all kinds of shit as far as what I know, so I don't much appreciate that my writing a single form of writing somehow means I have no skills or training just because Ive written that particular format according to some people. It's deeply insulting and I really do wonder if people think people who write as a hobby should even be allowed to have that hobby if theyre this obsessed with publish or don't ever even LOOK at a word. Like not only is it insulting to suggest that my hobby is somehow some particularly god awful drivel, but apparently those people don't know what a hobby is given that zero other hobbies get treated like this. No one walks around telling people if they aren't playing professional sports they can't play them at all- we just know that normal dudes playing football probably aren't Tom Brady and aren't looking to be either.

#winters ramblings #just because YOU dont know anything about writing doesnt mean everyone is in your boat #and ill tell you right now just because you know about writing doesnt make you good either #im fairly mediocre- raw talent in several areas but VERY diamond in the rough #granted i have more talent than the hacks shitting on fanfic im sure but ill bet im 1000X better an editor #than theyd ever be. editing isy strong suit im VERY good at looking others work over amd figuring out what to shimmy #around to make it better. sucks because i wish i was a better writer but like TECHNICALLY i can write several formats #so to suggest i dont know what im doing because i write FIC is absurd. im bad at writing because i cant plot for the life of me #story im good at worldbuilding im great at character voice im good at but plot? god help me i suck at it #still busdy WEIRD to make the assumption fic authors dont know how to write because they write fic #as if you cant learn how to write outside of fic and apply thay knowledge to the fic??#because im willing to bet of the talented authors people like they probably have experience writing #be it by themselves be it real writing jobs or training in a writing feild. theres outliers for sure but ill bet #of the REST they arent fucking morons and know how a fucking book works its not rocket science #being good at writing is almost less structure and more everything else mostly because you can get away with bad structure #assuming you have other stuff to offer but if you have the best structure in the world and BORING writing and characters well #no one will boher with that on account of reading is entertainment. you have to ENTERTAIN #by that metric dic authors do more than their hobbies on that and thats true of shite media too #like scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse isnt some Grand Amazing Oscar Winner but it doesnt need to be #like fuck if you insist on only watching oscar winners thats fine but lets not act like your Refined Taste makes you superior #like bitch ive seen oscar winners and ive read best sellers- winning awards doesnt make it Iron Clad Amazing #im sure people have lots to say about Green Books oscar win including me it should've gone to blackkklansman #point being 'good' media doesnt even escape criticism so lets not act as if only watching 'good' media #is like eating the fruits and veggies of media. you are not what you read write or watch lmao #spitting out takes that fucking dumb- as if only watching and reading Quality Content makes you lacking in anti intellectualism?#makes you sound dumber than what you paint fic authors as. media dont need to be good and hobbies arent meant to be oscar winners #or Pulitzer prize winners. fic is a fucking HOBBY and even if it wasnt that doesnt mean people who write it dont know how to write #you have no realiztic idea WHAT someones background is and book structure isnt something So Rare no one knows about it #im aure fic authors know how to ficking GOOGLE shit if they didnt go to high school you arent packing #you dont have Special Book Knowledge karen we all went to high school and if we didnt dont shit on that persons writing asshole??

OK SO THIS JUST CAME ON MY HEAD

Hc of itto meeting male reader. basically itto was "" bullying ""the reader's brother so the kid decided to bring him next time that itto try something. and the reader is basically built like A FUCKING WALL (tall, muscular and intimidating) I would love to see his reaction on meeting the reader

I hope this is understandable my english isn't the prettiest thing on this world

☆ Please excuse me bc I loved the idea so much I ended up exceeding a lot and making a whole one shot turned headcanons, but hope you like it aaa <3 ☆

Itto x Male Reader

-> Gif: @c6jpg

-> Summary: Your baby brother starts coming home upset after his beetle battles. You confront him and end up deciding to have a few words with that Mr Arataki man.

One Shot turned headcanons, Male Reader, Fluff

-> Triggers: Swearing, sexual innuendos and mentions of "bullying"

-> Warning: Don't tag this as yaoi or fetish mlm relationships !!

-> Words: 2K

Please tell me if you find any mistake

• Onikabuto beetle battles were very popular in Inazuma among the little kids

• They would spend their days searching for the best beetles they could find before agreeing on a date for a bettle fight

• And your little brother, as any other kid, loved going outside with his friends to search beetles and fight with them

• He loved rambling about his beetle confrontations and how you could find your best fighter

• But one day, when he came back home after a day outside, he didn't cross word with your for the entire evening while an upset face accompanied his silent.

• Eventually, after another quiet dinner, you approached his bedroom door and knocked it gently when you heard some low whispering.

• "Hey, pal, is everything right?", you softly said with worried eyes as you peeked from the door, "You know you can tell me anything and I'll listen" you reassured him as you sat beside him on his bed

• His frown furrowed and his fist clenched as he hugged closer the wooden box where his purple beetle rested, but he didn't shoo you.

• You passed your arm gently around his shoulders, drawing him closer while your other hand petted his hair tenderly.

• "Please, tell me what is bothering you, kiddo." you whispered softly, more to yourself than to the hurted toddler before you.

• "More like who" He suddenly muttered, his brow furrowing more as he remembers the cause of his mood

• You open your eyes wide at his words, worried of what your little brother could have suffered without you even noticing

• You grabbed his shoulder tightly and turned him so he could lock eyes with your wholeheartedly worried ones. "Let me help you, kiddo"

• The toddler's expression softened at your words into a sad one

• "His name is Mr Arataki..." he started ln a faint mumble as he hugged tightly his wooden box, "He is always in every beetle fight. I didn't mind him though he is older than us but we had a battle a few days ago, I lost it and since then he won't stop messing with me or laughing at my beetles" Your little brother babbled on a single exhale before gasping for air while tears gathered on the corners of his eyes and his arms grasped the box between his arms protectively.

• You took a moment to understand the situation before you came up with an idea to end your baby brother ache, but before you could tell him, he interrupted you.

• "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before", he muttered, "I didn't want to tell you that I lost so you wouldn't be disappointed" He confessed as he looked down at the purple bug with glassy eyes.

• You felt your heart break at his revelation and you were quickly to give him the biggest of hugs. "I could never be disappointed of you, you're my little brother!" You assured him while you caressed his hair gently.

• "You're squeezing me!" He giggled while he tried to pull apart from your tight embrace.

• You giggled a soft apologize and separated from the hug. "Now", you started, your hands laying safely on the toddler's shoulders, "How about you introduce me to this Mr Arataki man?"

- Time Swap -

• You agreed that the next day you would accompany your little brother to his beetle fight so you could have a few words with that infamous Mr Arataki man.

• The next morning came and you decided to intimidate a little your baby brother's bully, so you chose to wear some open jacket that could show off your toned chest and mark your strong arms. You also decides to pick your highest geta to highlight your already huge height. (they're the wooden heeled sandals that we can see on Sara or Itto, the traditional Japanese footwear )

• You walked out from the house to find your little brother waiting on a rock with the beetle box between his arms while he hummed some tune

• "Oh, you're ready!", he cheered as he saw you. He ran to you and pulled your sleeve, "Let's go! This time I will win for sure, I know it!" You laughed softly at his determination and grabbed his hand gently while you headed to where the beetle fights happened.

• "We're here!" Your brother exclaimed excited when you arrived a sand square with a low table on the middle. There were kids whispering all around when you both appeared and every one of them carried a little wooden box in their arms.

• Your baby brother introduced you to his friends and they happily greeted you with awe. Then, you both sat together on the floor along the other kids.

• "So, who of these is the Mr Arataki you've tell me about?" You whispered into your brother ear, covering your mouth with a hand.

• "Oh! He's not here yet. He is always late" he explained.

• "I see..."

• You waited for a few more minutes where other kids fought their battles when you heard a deep voice coming from the path.

• "HEYA KIDS! READY FOR SOME HARDCORE FIGHTS?!" You saw a white haired man roaring while leaving sharp fangs at display. His head was decorated by a couple of large red horns and through his locks of hair you could peek a pair of pointy ears. 'An Oni?' You whispered to yourself with a frown.

• "Mr Arataki..." You heared your baby brother mutter with hostility at the sight.

• You nodded your head lightly and waited among the rest of the children to watch how Mister Arataki behaved with the other kids.

• "NOW, NOW, WHO'S NEXT?" The flamboyant man roared one after another. You didn't think that he was being too bad, though you could admit that some comments he made were a bit extra.

• Finally, your brother's turn arrived. He had to encounter Arataki. Again.

• You gave the nervous kid a warm smile as you patted his back soothingly. "Show him who you are. I'll be cheering you from here" you assured him softly.

• Your brother gave you a confident nod before bumping fists with you while the white haired Oni looked surprised at your direction. You locked eyes with his shocked ones and frowned intimidately, gaining a loud gulp from the horned man.

• Your brother ran to the table and looked seriously at the Oni while emptying his wooden box and freeing his fighter. After breaking eye contact with you the man headed his sight to your brother's beetle before him. He doubted whether to make a comment about it but kept his mouth shut once he felt your piercing glare on his neck.

• "Well, kiddo. Looks like you've got some extra backing today, uh?" He stumbled while giving a nervous chuckle.

• "I do!", he exclaimed with his fist clenched before pointing at him "and he will kill you if you win me!" He shouted to the Oni ahead, who looked at him with alarmed eyes.

• You opened your eyes wide at his threat and placed your hand on your face with a sigh when all the kids around you yelped and backed with frightened looks on their faces.

• After the unplanned introduction and some hesitate from Mr Arataki, the battle began.

• You looked carefully at the encounter and listened to their words but from time to time your sight ended exploring the Oni's white hair or his golden eyes, you had to admit that he was kind of handsome. And what you didn't know was that some of Mister Arataki's peeks also ended on your body often.

• After about fifteen minutes the battle ended when your little brother's beetle fell on its back before the startled look of both rivals and the whole crowd. The kids started to move away from you while whispering indistinctly

• "Uh...I won" the Oni muttered before turning around your brother's beetle gently, "Well- Well done, kiddo" He patted his back reassuringly as he looked frightened at your annoyed expression.

• Your brother returned with sad eyes to his seat beside you. "I'm sorry for not winning... But thanks for coming, when you're here he's not mean to me" he smiled warmly at you before hugging you tightly. "Don't worry, kiddo. I'm very proud of you, your beetle was amazing out there!" You assured him while messing his hair brotherly.

• The Oni sat on the floor across the square when after a few battles a little girl won him. He sat just in front of you and the low wooden table was the only thing separating you from him.

• Not very interested in the fights, you would ocassionally spy his clothes or face, noticing little things on him that drew your attention, like his black painted nails, his long hand nails or his earrings. You would also often follow his red marks, wondering how low they would continue or if he would have them all over his body. Everything was strictly professional, of course. Definetly.

• As professional as his furtive glints down your exposed chest and toned abs.

• By the end of the morning the confrontations came to end and as soon as you noticed Mr Arataki standing up you were fast to stand up too.

• "Wait!" You called out for him, but he took his box nervously and started to head out hastily

• "Don't let him escape!" You heard your little brother's shout with his fists on the air. You both would certainly had a talk about violence later.

• You reached him without too much effort and grabbed his wrist tightly. "Wait a minute, please", you begged him, "I'm not going to hurt you" you assured him though the frown on your face still pursued.

• The Oni turned slowly at you, his wide eyes looking up and down at your huge figure, you didn't look so huge when you were sat down. You were towering him completely and he couldn't decide if he felt intimidated or turned on. It wouldn't be messed up to choose both, right?

• "Look, man. I, uh- I never wanted to-"

• You interrupted him by placing your hand before him. "No excuses" you stated. "I want you to apologize to my little brother. Right now. You are the cause why he comes home so discouraged lately." You asserted with your arms crossed and a fierce look on your eyes.

• The Oni's expression changed drastically at your words. "Wait, for real?" He asked with genuine worry. He then searched with his sight for your brother among the other children and when he found him he ran towards him.

• "Hey, kid" he said softly while squatting in front of him, "I went too hard with you and I'm very sorry for that. You're a strong kid, don't forget that" He apologized while giving a nod of respect.

• Your brother's face lit up and giggled "Don't worry! I forgive you! And I'll definitely win you the next time!"

• The Oni laughed soundly at the kid's enthusiasm and offered him his hand to shake "that was a good fight" he told him with a warm smile

• "Yes!"

• "Excuse me, Mr Arataki, could I have a word with you?" You saw how his body froze at your question, "Uh... Sure"

• You both departed a little from the rest of kids so you could talk calmly.

• "I'm Y/N, by the way" you offered him your hand. Your expression was still serious but your tone was now kinder.

• "The name's Itto! Arataki Itto!" He roared in response while giving you a strong shake. "It's the first time you come around, right? I noticed you were pretty lost with the fights" He laughed.

• "It is" you admitted "I only came to accompany my little brother"

• "And... would you like to learn about beetle battles? I mean, I could show you around, or teach you which are the best beetles or-"

• "Yes, please. I'm interested" you lied. But how could you deny to such a handsome man of glowing eyes. Itto smiled widely at your agreeing, "it's a deal, then"

• You nodded lightly and were about to head out, mostly to hide your burning up face, when you heard Itto's voice again

• "Y'know, you are a very intimidating man. I really thought you were going to kill me!" He cackled.

• You grabbed his neck in a fast movement and lowered your head to the level of his ear. "And I will, if you mess with my brother even again" you purred menacingly, a deep flush spreading all over his face as the golden of his eyes glowed aroused. Your hand freed his grasp and you waved him with a warm smile "See you soon, Itto"

• Your little brother didn't understand why your sudden interest in beetle battles after that day nor why Mister Arataki started spending so much time at your house, not that he complains though!

October Favorites 2020!

Hello!

i'm going to start bringing these favorites of the month from my deviantart to here on tumblr. Hopefully you will find something good out of the things that I have been liking recently, please leave in the comments anything that you have been liking this month ( books, manga, anime, tv shows...etc) I have been a little uninspired for a while, but I'm still working on a few new digital art pieces as well as continuing my painting hobby, so there's a lot of content on the way!

okay so on to the things that I've been liking this month.

So if you've seen my latest digital art " who's baby is it?" I have been delving into web toons which I have not read other than mo dao zu shi since I watched the anime and It just suddenly stopped after season 2. I thought reading the web toon would answer some of those questions i had. It lead me to reading a bunch of webtoons all in the shounen ai category for some reason...lol. and I've been really liking some of the stories, Until this point web toons never really interested me since I've been reading manga since I was younger , so i've been used to just seeing the black and white pages of art, since web toons have coloured pages, it makes me appreciate the effort they used to colour every panel, so a lot of work went into these so i appreciate it for what it is even if the story inst great.

let me preface by saying that even though i'm delving into BL, i've been exposed to yaoi ever since I was in high school by one of my best friends, she lent me her favorite anime which was " gravitation" and all remember was wanting a man that was like yuki...lol. don't we all?

since then I have been reading some yaoi manga...only ones that are NOT predicated on sexual violence and abuse, which I know is prevalent in this category, I just don't like it and the message it sends, so i avoid that all together.

unless of course it has a particular message it wants to convey, not glorifying it. if that makes sense.

okay so here are my recommendations, i'll give a very brief summary of each of them

Manga/Manhwa:

----------------------------------------------

Who's baby is it?

- “a man named yi yun wanted to be an actor and is part of an acting company for several years and still was not successful, apparently it was because he was born with really bad luck, so to change his life perspective he decided that he wanted to be a surrogate father and donate his sperm to a surrogate mother in order to have a child that is his blood. So he and his child were living happily together through yi yuns work periods and suddenly there is a man that claims he is the child's actual blood related father and wanted to take the child into his custody.”

please read the summary I have in my fan art, I've wrote my thoughts on this manhwa.

To be or not to be

- “A company president diagnosed with cancer and died has been transmigrated into his favorite novel, where he was reborn as the antagonistic emperor that the main character defeats in the end, on top of which the main lead is currently the captive of said emperor, so in order to survive he will do anything to protect the protagonist and make sure he stays alive inside the novels universe.”

oh to be or not to be that is the question...lol. it really is. currently is is one of my favorites, I like how modern day people can look at the acts of history and modify certain things so that it would less likey repeat itself for the worse, we need this sort of mentality at this moment...

Social temperature

- “Song Yuan is indifferent when dealing with people he is an elite student at T- university as a science major, one day his friend started to question his sexuality and set him up with a month trial dating app as a joke, as soon as he went to delete the app on his phone, he was suddenly matched with a boy named "Mu", who turns out to be his classmate/ rival in his science program, his named is Xaio Mu , he is an exchange student abroad and got into this elite science program, hoping to meet new friends he approached song yuan and proceed to converse with him only to be ridiculed by him saying that he wears too much perfume and it made him sick so then he became the class social outcast.But after using the app to converse with "Mu"...song yuan became curious as to what he is actually like...using the fake name and bio of " Andrew " they start to get to know each other more.”

omg , this is triggering for me, since Mu is basically me a few years ago when I was also in a medical science program minus the talking on tinder thing lol, I felt as though everyone in that program was in it for themselves and I didn't not like the how people think they are entitled to everything...that's why i'm not in it no more.lol. there are a few plot holes in the story that I don't really get but other than that I really like this story I read the chapters that are out so far like 3 times cause I'm waiting for the rest to be translated. I also actually read the Novel by the same author of the manhua called " social outcast" so if you just want to read it in text format please read that novel instead, I like the novel up to a point and then it didn't really make sense after wards..lol.

so i can't say that i recommended it completely. Also Mu's character design I really like, thus i'm going to make a fan art of him soon...omg he's so beautiful, i'm in love lol.

Salad Days ( tang liu zang)

- “This is the story between a young innocent ballet boy and a passionate, determined boxing boy. The two met at the children’s palace, and since then, they have grown up together supporting each other. May there be hardships, may there be obstacles, yet they never stopped pursuing their dreams. The beauty of the salad days is the sweat from the hard work and the bonding of friendship. Although they have completely different paths set up for them, what never changes is their beautiful friendship.”

wow this story so far is really beautiful, I was in ballet for 3 years so it was slightly relatable to me, I feel like the over all message is that people sacrifice a lot for their dreams and if you are very passionate about it, there's no on that can really stop you, the only one that can stop you is you. I can't wait to see this story progress further

K-dramas:

------------------------------------------

it okay to not be okay - this probably has been mentioned as everyone's favorite, but rightfully so, I really like ko mun young's character as a person who seems like an assertive and powerful woman, but is suffering from a social disorder. and how moon gang tae has to not only deal with mental patients at his job but also his older brother being autistic, he himself is suffering from mental illness. this drama is something not a lot of dramas portray in dealing with mental illness and how the patients/ loved ones are feeling when watching them go through it all. I liked the story and the message and it made me cry in every episode, so fair warning...have tissues beside you as you watch.

itaewon class- I was not going to watch this because of the mixed reviews but I did any ways, and it was really good, a really good depiction of how money and power isn't the end all be all , and being happy is really the best revenge you can get, it also addresses racism and prejudice on one character and sexism on a trans-gendered woman. I also think this is a story that protrays something that really hasn't been exposed to in k-dramas specifically. It depends on your morals and what you understand so far in your life wether you would like this drama or not, so i understand the mixed reviews that it gets, but for me it was a really good story.

Anime/ TV shows:

---------------------------------------------

I don't have any anime recommendations this month mainly cause I have not been watching any, but there are some that i might watch soon so I will list those below, let mew know if any of you have seen them and should I be watching them.

For my dude @wumbowumbo

1. What’s your favorite way to dress?

Dramatically, with as much black as possible, and maybe face paint. But for everyday kinda stuff, just a t-shirt and jeans, usually

2. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

I wish I could articulate my thoughts better. I'd also like to not be so nervous around people as it fucks with my ability to think straight

3. What movie/game/etc. helps you calm down?

Skyrim for sure. I usually listen to music, too, but what I pick depends on what I'm trying to calm down from, like if I'm nervous I'll play Apocalyptica, or Hozier

4. What does your room smell like?

I'd imagine it smells like me, but I have no idea what I smell like. I light incense sometimes, but it's difficult to tell what they smell like cause theyve got obscure names like The Moon or Dragon's Blood

5. Do you like to organize?

I enjoy organizing quite a bit. I absolutely hate being unorganized, but it's so easy for me to just. Not do anything

6. What kind of music would you listen to if you could only choose one?

Probably Prog. Or just like. Metal in general

7. What song is your aesthetic?

Blood Eagle by Amon Amarth, Drilled A Wire Through My Cheek by Blue October, the entirety of Breathe Me In by Candlebox, Cherry Wine by Hozier, idk man I've got a Few™ lmao

8. what color do you think goes best with your personality?

Not to sound like an edgelord but black like a dark shade of purple or blue

9. do you believe in auras?

Nah

10. What do you wish you hated, but actually like?

I don't really have anything like that but if you were to ask 6 year old me it would be literally any music I listen to now lmao

11. Vague about your crush(es)

See question 28

12. Is there something you have mixed feelings towards?

Hetalia as a whole. I was really into it when I was in middle school, but that was when I didn't know anything about the online fandom or the manga. Today it makes me really uncomfortable, but I feel like if it was portrayed differently (very differently) it could've been a really cute show. Instead we had nazi fetishizers and an ungodly amount of yaoi

13. Talk about an au or story you came up with

I had a dream once about a fisherman and a dock worker in some rural fishing village. I don't know what it was about in the dream, but it was very aesthetic and beautiful. Eventually the two fell in love. At the end, they sat on top of an old ruin and watched the sunset while talking about their dreams. It was really nice, I wanna make a story about it.

14. Do you like makeup?

Only if I'm using it like face paint, though I like how I look with smudged eyeliner

15. Do you prefer space or the ocean?

Fuck the ocean, I'm a slut for space

16. If you could pick any planet besides earth, where would you live?

The ones I come up with in my dreams

17. What form of government do you like the most? (capitalism, socialism, etc.)

I don't think I'm educated enough on the different forms of government and how they function to be able to make a sound, informed decision. Also fuck capitalism and eat the rich

18. What animal would you keep as a pet, if you could?

A dragon

19. What do you think our purpose is in the universe?

I don't think there is a cosmic reason or purpose for us in the universe, only what reason we give ourselves

20. Do you believe in god(s)?

Technically, no. My views are pretty similar to those of LaVeyan Satanism, which holds an atheistic set of views, with a dash of paganism. I don't believe gods, or God, exists as a legitimate entity so much as a concept people created to represent an idea or virtue (or lack thereof). I "follow" certain gods in that I recognize and appreciate the concepts they embody and see them as a reminder of what I value and strive for (meaning I "follow" Apollo because of my love of the sun, and because of my love of music and the role it plays in healing, etc.)

21. Is there a song you can’t handle listening to, even though you like it?

I have trouble listening to Three Days Grace because I listened to them the most when my dad died as a way to help cope. I can listen to most of their early stuff without much trouble, but I cannot listen to Gone Forever without breaking down

22. What ex do you miss the most, if you have one?

I've never been in a romantic relationship

23. Do you like soft, fluffy blankets or rough/smooth blankets?

Soft (fluffy preferred, but optional)

24. What is your favorite thing to learn about?

Linguistics, language in general, people in general, different ways to make things and be creative (like woodburning, stitching, carving, etc.)

25. What country’s history do you find the most interesting?

Ancient Greece and viking-age Scandinavia are pretty interesting, but I am, unfortunately, not particularly knowledgeable about either outside of mythology. I've also had a weird interest in Germany/Germanic areas since I was a kid. Native American societies prior to colonization are also really interesting, but there aren't nearly as many resources to learn about them as other places/times

26. What do you think about genderbent ____ (insert someone here)

I'm ok with it, but it depends on how it's executed

27. What breakup was the hardest, if you had one?

Again, never had a romantic relationship

28. Do you have someone where you can’t decide if you like them romantically or just as a friend?

Theres this girl I'm friends with that I think I romantic feelings for, but I'm super unsure

29. What do you think about tumblr discourse?

Nothing is ever black and white

30. What instrument do you wish you could master?

I've wanted to play guitar since I was a kid, but alas, I am not a dexterous person

31. How easy is it for you to be honest?

For the most part it's pretty easy, but it gets difficult depending in who I'm talking to and how personal it is. I try to avoid lying as much as possible, so sometimes I'll just change the subject or give a vague answer that's technically true,

32. Do you have any strange interests?

I don't think any of my interests are strange, but there are some people who seem to think collecting bones and making things out of them is weird, even when historically it's pretty common

33. Do you have any strange fears?

I've got thalassophobia and a severe fear or being alone and unloved

34. What food do you binge on when you’re lazy?

Depends on what I've got

35. When you get angry, how do you show it?

I'm pretty good at keeping my temper in check, usually I'll just listen to something hard and heavy. If I have to interact with people I just take a couple deep breaths and try to not be a dick

36. do you have any impulsive movements? (twitches, ticks, flapping, etc.)

I rub the tips off my fingers together and pick at my nails, skin, and hair. I used to clench my jaw, but I recently got over that. I tend to chew on the inside of my mouth, which I need to stop as well

37. what do you listen to music on?

Spotify mostly. Sometimes youtube if spotify doesn't have something. I use the built in Play Music app when I listen to Tool, though

38. Are you left brained or right brained?

What

39. Earbuds or headphones?

Headphones. After my last ear infection, earbuds hurt too much

40. Do you like light blankets or heavy blankets?

Heavy

Tagging @zonerz @skeletonflows @twunkmccree and @commodorecliche 😘
