A Not-So-Disastrous Romance (Book 1) Chapter Three
Kusuo Saiki x Reader
Chapter Three: Sports Festival
Summary: Saiki and (Y/N) participate in the Sports Festival, and Saiki has his receiver taken.
(Y/N) stretched as they waited for the events to begin. It was PK Academy’s Sports Festival, and Class 3 was ready and eager to compete (except for Saiki). Everyone was way too into the event for his taste, but it wasn’t like he could change that.
“Never give up, Class 3! Yeah!” shouted Hairo encouragingly.
“Yeah!” repeated his classmates.
“Quite saying ‘yeah,’ it’s annoying.”
“Sports Day, huh? Humph, how stupid,” remarked Kaidou dramatically, “My strength is for use in combat. I shouldn’t waste it on silly games.”
“You’re just saying that ‘cause you’re terrible at sports,” said Nendou.
(Y/N) laughed.
“Hey, Saiki!” called Hairo. “I expect great things from you!”
Don’t expect anything from me!
“Saiki!” (Y/N) ran up to him and gave him a large, closed-eye smile. “You’ve got this if you try!”
“Thanks,” said Saiki (not as begrudgingly as he’d like to think). They seemed earnest, and he respected that (and them in general).
“Nendou!” Hairo turned his exuberant attention to the tall boy. “You’ve got great athletic skills!”
“Sure!” Nendou gave Hairo a thumbs-up. “You’re not gonna beat me this time.”
“Nendou, he’s on our team, too,” reminded (Y/N), poking him.
“(L/N)!” Hairo looked at them. “Keep bringing your energy!”
(Y/N) gave him a peace sign and smile. “Sure thing!” They always had energy.
“Also, Kaidou…!” Hairo attended to the blue-haired boy. “Uhm, well, do what you can.”
Even Hairo’s optimism has limits.
“What do you mean by that?!” cried Kaidou.
(Y/N) patted his back comfortingly. “Give your best. I believe in you.”
That’s probably less earnest than their other statements.
“Don’t worry,” said Hairo, “All that matters is that our class wins!”
“I’d rather just have fun,” commented (Y/N) to Saiki.
Just like they said that day after the rain, they enjoy the little things. They called it “romance.” Saiki frowned as his heart beat a fraction faster as he thought of the word “romance.” That had never happened before. He wasn’t a fan.
“The competition this year looks tough,” said Hairo. “First, Class 1. An intellectual group that has many students get top grades on tests! And Class 2. An athletic group that has the most students who belong to athletic clubs!”
“Why does their class representative not have his shirt on?” mumbled (Y/N). They really didn’t need to see a random guy’s bare chest.
At least someone here notices how weird this is.
“Furthermore, Class 4,” continued Hairo, “An intellectual group led by Tanihara, who scored first-place in the midterms! The last one is Class 5. An intellectual group where an astonishing eighty percent of them wear glasses!”
“You just like saying ‘intellectual,’ don’t you?” remarked Saiki. “And why did you have to give such long exposition?”
“So we’ve got three intellectual classes, an athletic one, and…us,” said (Y/N). I don’t really know what’s special about us. Maybe we’re the “weird” class. A little mean, but it felt right.
At least someone here knows how to get to the point.
Over the loudspeaker came an announcement. “The first event is the boys’ 100-meter dash.”
Saiki sighed.
“Good luck, Saiki,” said (Y/N), smiling brightly.
Saiki nodded at them.
“Kuu! Go for it!” cheered Mrs. Saiki.
“I’m recording you on a hard drive called my heart,” called Mr. Saiki.
(Y/N) tilted their head. “Doesn’t he have a video camera?”
“Out of battery,” answered Saiki.
(Y/N) frowned. “How do you know?”
“He didn’t properly charge it last night.” Saiki easily covered for himself. Before they asked anything else, he walked over to the starting line.
“Go! Saiki! For our victory!” shouted Hairo.
Saiki sighed, and as the gun went off, he ran out. He ended up in second place, but that was too conspicuous, so he let everyone catch up and instead finished third—acceptable, but more average. His team didn’t mind and congratulated him.
“Great job,” said (Y/N) earnestly.
Saiki nodded to them in acknowledgement.
“That was incredible!” exclaimed Hairo.
“Why am I getting so much praise for ranking third?”
“Because friends congratulate each other,” said (Y/N).
“You’re not my friends.”
“Maybe one day you’ll actually convince me,” teased (Y/N). They weren’t put off by Saiki’s words. After all, the heart held the truth more than what he said.
“Not bad, pal, although I can run faster than that,” said Nendou.
“Well, right now it’s Kaidou’s turn,” said (Y/N). “Come on, Kaidou!”
Yare yare, so energetic.
Kaidou tried his hardest and ended up fifth place. He looked disappointed, so (Y/N) patted him on the back and told him he tried his best. He smiled slightly and stood up straighter.
“What was that running?!” laughed Nendou.
Kaidou slumped over again. (Y/N) leveled a steely glare at Nendou. He flinched and shut up. Saiki watched warily and reminded himself not to upset (Y/N). Evidently, they had an intense, protective side.
“We have to somehow turn things around in the next event,” muttered Hairo determinedly, completely engrossed in the events of the sports festival.
The loudspeaker turned on again. “The second event is the girl’s 100-meter dash,” announced the voice.
“Well, I’m up,” chirped (Y/N). They were competing against girls since their team needed strength in that area.
“Good luck.”
Surprised, (Y/N) blinked. Their heart thumped for a second, but they recovered and just grinned. “Thanks, Saiki!”
The gun went off, and (Y/N) ran the best they could, spurred on by the belief their friends had in them (even Saiki. Especially Saiki). They crossed the finish line second, moving the class up the ranking. Seeing the scoreboard change, (Y/N) whooped happily.
“Great job, (Y/N)!” cheered Hairo, clapping them across the back.
(Y/N) coughed as the wind was knocked out of them but laughed all the same. “Thanks, Hairo.”
“The next event is the coed three-legged race,” announced the loudspeaker.
Teruhashi was competing. Instantly, everybody swarmed around her and began to give her words of encouragement. (Y/N) sweat-dropped. It really was incredible the effect she had on people.
“Good job,” said Saiki.
(Y/N) brightened. “Thanks!” For some reason, (Y/N) couldn’t help but straighten happily knowing Saiki had cover over to stand with them instead of hovering around Teruhashi. It was normal for him, but (Y/N) couldn’t help but notice it.
From behind them, Teruhashi frowned for a moment before lighting up with a bright smile again. Why’s he over there with them?! Why isn’t he over here, telling me I’m going to do a great job?! I am going to win this! After all, I’m the perfect pretty girl, including in sports!
I might want to blend in, but I still have my pride. I’m not going to fawn over someone… He subconsciously glanced at (Y/N) before forcing himself to focus on Teruhashi and her partner in the race.
“Let’s do our best, Sawakita,” cooed Teruhashi.
“O-Okay,” stuttered Sawakita, blushing nervously.
“Let’s win no matter what!” Teruhashi took Sawakita’s hands into her own gently. I may not look it, but I hate to lose. Which is why I have to get first, to beat (L/N) and to have Saiki congratulate me!
Yare yare. I don’t want to deal with this.
“Hey, if we win, let’s celebrate alone, okay?” asked Teruhashi coyly.
That’s one way to give him a reason to win.
Sure enough, as soon as the pistol signaled the start of the race, Sawakita picked Teruhashi up and sprinted to the finish line. No one had a problem with it, and they won first place with no issue. As usual, the world smiled upon Teruhashi and let everything work out for her.
“Aren’t they supposed to run on three legs?” asked (Y/N).
Saiki nodded. It’s Teruhashi, though, so no one will get in trouble.
“All right! Let’s keep it up and make a comeback!” said Hairo.
“Ha! The scavenger hunt race is next!” laughed Nendou. “Who’s gonna do that?!”
“You will,” said Saiki.
“Good luck,” said (Y/N), deciding to ignore Nendou forgetting.
“Oh, yeah. It was me,” realized Nendou as he walked over to the group of participants.
“Go for it, Nendou!” cheered the redhead.
“All right!” yelled Nendou as he picked up his list of items. “Oh, this is so easy.”
“Looks like he knows where to get it,” commented Hairo, relieved.
Nendou ran up to the class. “Hey, let me borrow that.”
“You mean this?” Hairo held up his tennis racket.
“No, that’s not it.” Nendou reached out and grabbed one of Saiki’s receivers.
Saiki blanked and collapsed in exhaustion.
“Saiki!” cried (Y/N) in concern, dropping to their knees next to him. They hadn’t anticipated such a reaction, but their worry covered up the strange moment.
“What’s going on?!” questioned Hairo. “What happened?!”
“I-I don’t know,” stammered (Y/N), “He just collapsed!” They gazed at him worriedly since he had an odd look on his face. He clearly wasn’t alright. “Nendou! Give me that bobble back,” they ordered. If taking it out hurt him, maybe it needed to be put back in.
“Huh? Why?” asked Nendou.
(Y/N) just snatched it from him and put it back in Saiki’s hair. It also went into his head, but they didn’t realize. They held their breath and waited.
A moment later, Saiki’s eyes opened. He found himself staring up at (Y/N). Surprised and suddenly realizing he was close to their face, he sat up wildly and backed up.
“Hey, hey, you’re safe,” assured (Y/N), putting a steadying hand on his shoulder for a moment. They removed it immediately after, not wanting to cross any boundaries. “I put that bobble back since you collapsed after Nendou took it,” they explained.
Saiki breathed a slight sigh of relief. Obviously, his reaction to seeing them had been about the receiver. He thought he’d done something without his powers being dampened. Luckily, he hadn’t.
“Are you okay?” asked (Y/N), their voice filled with concern.
They didn’t care about the announcement of Nendou being last place in the scavenger hunt; they were just worried for Saiki. However, he stood up steadily, so (Y/N)’s apprehension abated.
“I’m alright,” said Saiki. He was…glad they were concerned—somehow, them being worried about him felt nice instead of irritating.
(Y/N) let out a breath of relief. “I’m glad.” They smiled. “You had me worried there.” They stood up and brushed the dirt off their knees. “Let’s get some lunch, you need to refuel after passing out.” When there was no response, they straightened. No Saiki. They frowned. “Saiki?” He’s wandered off. It’s not safe to do that after just collapsing. I better go find him.
At the back of the school building, Saiki slid down the wall with his bento box. His hands trembled as he held the chopsticks. His strength was still uncontrollable, so he was avoiding other people because people might find out about his abilities and because he might hurt a friend. When Saiki heard footsteps, he was immediately on edge. It only got worse when (Y/N) walked around the corner. They were probably the person he least wanted to hurt other than his family.
“Saiki,” they said, crouching down next to him. “You need to stop scaring me,” they joked. Their smile fell as they saw his shaking hands. Their gaze softened in concern. “Hey, you’re still pretty weak…Do you need help?”
“I’m trying to eat. What is there to help with?”
“At the rate you’re going, you’re either going to snap the chopsticks or drop your food,” teased (Y/N). Their expression turned serious. “But really, I can help. I know it’s kinda weird, but you need to eat, and I’m not going to just leave you without help.” Was it strange? Yes. But (Y/N) was Saiki’s friend. They would help him in any way possible.
“Alright,” relented Saiki. He decided consciously that this was a good cover and a way for him to eat while his strength was uncontrollable, but there was also a comfortable feeling that surrounded him when (Y/N) was there to help. He couldn’t help but say yes.
(Y/N) smiled and gently took the chopsticks into their hand. Bit by bit, they fed him his food. No words were exchanged; a calm silence enveloped them.
The peace was unfortunately broken when Nendou rounded the corner.
“Oh, hey, pal, pinky, we were looking for you. You guys missed the magician,” said Nendou. He noticed how (Y/N) was feeding Saiki. “Oooh, are you guys on a date?”
(Y/N)’s faced warmed, and they laughed nervously. “No, I was just helping him out since he still isn’t feeling well.”
Saiki nodded. Good thing (Y/N) thinks quickly. Otherwise, Nendou would tell the whole school we were dating.
Ba-bum.
Yare yare, there’s that feeling again.
“Oh, pal, are you still sick? Maybe you should head home,” said Nendou.
I never thought he’d ever have such a good idea. Saiki nodded.
The three of them went back in front of the building. Saiki’s friends annoyances were waiting there and bombarded him.
“What happened?”
“Where’d you go?”
“Are you alright?”
“Are you heading home?”
“Are you sure you can go home alone?”
“Don’t push yourself.”
“Don’t worry about us, we’ll cover for you.”
Yare yare. These guys…It’s very hard to go home now. Saiki was tempted to smile, but his “annoyance” was too grand.
“You’re going to stick around, aren’t you?” remarked (Y/N).
Saiki looked at them. How do they manage to read me?
(Y/N) continued jokingly, “We’ve melted your icy heart! You cannot help but stay!” They laughed at themself.
The corners of Saiki’s mouth twitched upwards for a moment, and he immediately decided not to entertain their conversation for fear of more reactions.
“Alright, Class 3!” declared Hairo. “We’re having team competitions in the afternoon! The next event is the tug of war!”
“I think he’s super excited because he wasn’t in any of the individual events,” commented (Y/N) to Saiki. “Have fun,” they teased.
Yare yare.
Saiki pulled on the rope with the rest of the boys in his class. However, he wasn’t giving much effort since his strength was far beyond the others’. Saiki even accidentally broke the rope. Due to the situation from earlier, he still couldn’t control his abilities and ended up winning the match for Class 3, though no one noticed it was him.
“Great job, you guys!” congratulated (Y/N). They turned to Saiki. “You must be strong, Saiki! You were barely breaking a sweat!”
Yare yare. They somehow cover for all my abilities while also noticing them more than anyone else. So strange.
“Behold the power of Class 3!” declared Hairo.
“To think that a match against humans got me this fired up,” murmured Kaidou dramatically.
“Did you guys have lunch?” asked Nendou.
“The rope is torn at the spot I was holding,” exclaimed Takahashi, “Could I have done this?”
The four boys then posed with determined faces and crossed arms while the other classes looked on in wonder. However, Class 3 was still in third place overall. Two events remained.
“Class 3 isn’t doing so hot, huh?!” questioned Toristuka challengingly, “Looks like Class 2 might win, huh?!”
“So? I couldn’t care less,” said Saiki.
(Y/N) nodded. “Having fun with friends is more important.”
Toristuka hurriedly continued his condescension. “Ah! See? We’re number one right now! Bam!” He smiled. “Well, I was last in the three-legged race, though.”
Recalling how creepy he’d been, (Y/N) shivered.
“I can’t believe you look so proud of it,” said Saiki.
“Please don’t hold a grudge against me if my class wins,” said Toritsuka, still acting superior.
“Seriously, I couldn’t care less about who wins, or about you for that matter,” said Saiki while (Y/N) nodded in agreement.
“Sorry, but it’s Class 3 that’s going to win!” declared Hairo. “If we lose, I’ll get a buzzcut!”
“We’re way behind them, are you sure we should be making bets?” questioned (Y/N), tilting their head blankly. They were all for some fun, but they weren’t sure this was their class’s best idea ever.
“Are you serious?” asked Toritsuka, looking at Hairo.
“That just shows you how determined I am!” said Hairo.
“Hey, hey, if Hairo’s going to do it…We’ll get a buzzcut, too!” promised the other boys of Class 3.
“Wait, wait,” said Saiki. He didn’t want to get roped in.
“Count me in, too,” said Kaidou confidently, “Of course, there’s no chance of me losing.”
“Kaidou, confidence is good, but sometimes realism is important,” remarked (Y/N).
“Where is he getting that confidence from?” asked Saiki.
“I’ll get a buzzcut, too,” proclaimed Nendou.
“In your case, it won’t be a penalty,” observed Saiki.
(Y/N) nodded. “A proper cut that’s even all the way around may actually look better.”
“That’s right! Our hearts are one!” declared Hairo. “If we lose, every guy in Class 3 will get a buzzcut!”
“I’m glad it’s just the boys doing this,” commented (Y/N). They beamed. “I don’t have anything to worry about.”
Saiki gave them a deadpan glare.
“Aw, come on, you know I’ll still try to help you,” said (Y/N), waving a hand. They frowned. “All the same, I don’t think there are a lot of events left.”
I’ll be making sure I don’t have to get a buzzcut with my powers, anyways.
The loudspeaker turned on and announced, “The next even is the interclass beanbag toss.”
Sure enough, as his classmates ran around and threw beanbags towards their basket, Saiki ensured that a good amount landed inside. Psychic powers came in handy occasionally.
Hey, don’t say this is foul play. Nothing in the rulebook forbids supernatural powers.
Once the time ran out, the beanbags were counted up, and the announcement was made. “Class 1: thirty-three beanbags, Class 2: twenty-eight beanbags, Class 3: eighty-three beanbags,” reported the PA system.
“Hey, we did pretty well!” chirped (Y/N). They smiled brightly, and flowers seemed to dance around them.
“We got more than double the others!” shouted Class 3.
“Er…” the announced paused awkwardly, “Class 4: one hundred beanbags.”
(Y/N)’s eyes widened comically. “How did they manage that?!”
Especially without psychic powers…
“We used our heads. Look,” said Class 4’s representative pompously.
His class had piled all the beanbags into one giant plastic bag and put that into their basket.
(Y/N) sweat-dropped. “I feel like there should be a rule about that.”
I might have powers, but this definitely feels like foul play.
“Don’t call this foul play,” said Tanihara, “The rulebook doesn’t say that the use of a big bag is forbidden.”
“They should’ve written a rule for that.”
(Y/N) nodded fervently. “It’s out-of-the-box thinking, but it just feels unsportsmanlike.”
“But there’s still the last event, the interclass relay!” declared an optimistic, determined Hairo. “The class in first place will get five hundred points. It means that if we’re in first place and Class 4 is in last, we can win! Saiki! I want you to be another leg!”
“It seems refusing would just make things difficult,” the psychic observed.
“I’ll try to get the baton to you quickly,” said (Y/N) brightly, trying to help as best they could.
The classes organized themselves. When the pistol signaled the start, Kaidou began running as fast as he could (not very fast) while his classmates cheered him on. When he passed the baton to Tadashi, they were unfortunately in last place. This was repeated when Tadashi passed the baton to Nendou. Luckily, even though he ran very strangely, he was fast and got to first place. Teruhashi was next and could run quickly as well (another perk of being the perfect pretty girl). She passed the baton to Yumehara who managed to maintain a fast pace. Hairo was next to receive the baton. He handed it to (Y/N) while still in the lead. (Y/N) prepared to run quickly but tripped suddenly. They were in last place as they got back up and started sprinting.
Saiki readied himself for the baton. I’m going to cross the finish line in the same place I started. In other words, we will finish in last place.
Tripping someone isn’t foul play, either…As long as no one notices, that is… thought Tanihara.
Now that changes everything. Can’t let him get away with cheating and sabotaging (Y/N) my class.
“Saiki! Hurry!” called (Y/N) as they held out the baton.
It flew from their hand to Saiki’s, causing them to blink.
“I will,” said Saiki. It’s payback time for (Y/N).
Class 3, indeed, all of the students, gazed in amazement as Saiki sped to the front of the group. He was almost at the finish line.
“Yeah! Great job, Saiki!” cheered (Y/N).
Saiki collapsed. (Y/N) sweat-dropped. His class gaped.
Oh, that’s right. I can’t control my body well right now.
(Y/N) walked over and knelt by him. Smiling kindly, they said, “It’s alright. You did your best.”
Yare yare. I was trying to avoid a buzzcut.
l
“Good morning, guys!” greeted Hairo. “Where are your buzzcuts?”
He was sporting one himself. Behind him stood Nendou, Kaidou, and Saiki. Nendou sported the same cut, but he somehow ended up with more hair than he began with. Kaidou was completely bald, and Saiki had a buzzcut.
(Y/N) bit their lip to stop from laughing. “You boys only had to do that if we lost to Class 2, remember? We beat them.”
Yare yare. Saiki had a feeling that (Y/N) wasn’t going to let this one go for a while.

hey all welcome to me rating hq schools based on how homophobic they are on completely arbitrary-not-arbitrary rules LET’S GET IT
(i feel like i need to clarify that high score = not at all homophobic and that low score = disgustingly homophobic hope that helps!!)
karasuno: 1000000/100000 i’m including BOTH teams in this to represent the whole school boys’ vbc i don’t even think i have to cite reasons BUT girls’ vbc i just know that poor little underclassman had a heart attack when michimiya grabbed her face like that
seijoh: i’m going to take off a point right off the bat bc i wanted to deck oikawa so bad the first time i saw him. 9/10 the day is saved because kyoutani and yahaba put so much yearning into that one panel and also because kindaichi has multiple breakdowns over what kageyama means to him every few days or so. kunimi would commit gay-on-gay crime but i’ll allow that he has the right to
date tech: i know for a fact we’ve all been kogane at some point in our lives and also i’m pretty sure all the first and second years were in love with moniwa at some point. onagawa’s nickname is pantalones. aone hyper focuses on the aces of rival teams. having nametsu as a manager is mlmwlw solidarity. 4/10 i took points away because futakuchi is a little bitch and isn’t afraid to show it and would accidentally come across as homophobic in the process when he isn’t
shiratorizawa: see this is tough bc tendou reads all that shounen and semi is SO gender and probably holes himself up in the dorm writing song lyrics about having the biggest crush on tendou and also goshiki and shirabu are obviously pining for their upperclassmen but ushijima has some SERIOUS repression going on and washijou looks like he’d say that being gay is a disease BUT i do think he’s open to learning so like. 6.5/10?
johzenji: they have cute nicknames for each other AND i think they’d kiss the homies good night. also terushima fell in love with daichi within the span of fifteen seconds. 7/10 i took away points because they think saying “no homo” while holding hands stops it from being homo
kakugawa: komaki, asamushi, and minamida all rotate the brain cell between them. they all look like middle schoolers next to hyakuzawa to the point where i keep forgetting they’re not. komaki does the glasses push so i’m giving extra for that. 7.5/10 because when hyakuzawa comes out to them they freak out (out of concern and trying to figure out how to best handle it!) and then freak hyakuzawa out so everyone is just freaking out for a full five minutes
wakunan: nakashima and tabi deserved SO MUCH MORE also i love tabi’s hair so 11/10 the extra 1 is for their break down
nekoma: 1000000.5/10 mostly because i’m biased but hello???? we have DIVERSITY here we can go rivals to lovers AND childhood friends to lovers AND friends to lovers all in one team. nekomata is self-explanatory. the .5 is because i already mentioned before that lev would be such a top tier ally if he wasn’t already swooning over kenma and yaku
fukurodani: akaashi will go on tangents about how historians will say they were just best friends. whenever yukie and kaori cuddle in front of everyone konoha makes gagging noises bc of how sickeningly sweet they are. it’s funny but i’ll be taking points off for that and also because bokuto once got the school computers infected with a virus trying to google “two guys making out”. 2/10
shinzen & ubugawa: i’m putting them together bc daiki and masaki are in love and eri and mako are in love. they go on double dates all the time and also chigaya is a bro he gets trusted with all the secret “dude i think i’m _____” talks and never tells a single soul about them 100/100
itachiyama: iizuna is the mlm awakening at itachiyama. iizuna was SAKUSA’S awakening. komori and sakusa fight because they say can’t both be the gay cousin. whenever iizuna interrupts their bickering they call him homophobic. 9/10 i subtracted a point because their uniforms make me want to claw my eyes out
nohebi: we all know daishou had a thing for kuroo way back when so like. also have you seen hiroo’s hair? those bangs are emo as hell what even is that. 8/10 because they’ll be homophobic against other teams in the middle of the goddamn game to bait them and the only reason they haven’t lost MORE points for that is bc i love kuguri
inarizaki: -117478492/10 i’ll fight miya atsumu myself. i don’t think he’s homophobic he just pisses me off sometimes
kamomedai: they get 475828929392/??? just because i love them so much
mujinazaka: usuri instills fear and admiration in me. also unann and mami are basically an old divorced couple who want to get back together but don’t know how to. honda probably gets shit on a lot for having his whole entire name sounding like car dealerships. ezo is the only one with a brain cell and for that i’ll give 8.5/10
niiyama: maiko doesn’t even know there are labels for it she just thinks girls are pretty and she’d kill for them 500/10
tsubakihara: the headbands are really cute and i like their motto 100/100
#HOLY SHIT I THINK I GOT MOSTLY ALL OF THEM#HOW THE FUCK DO I EVEN TAG THIS LMAAAAO#god i am NOT tagging characters i’m just going to tag hcs and call it a day#haikyuu#haikyuu!!#haikyuu hcs#sou says stuff

Stupid Names: Rain Code Edition (Vol. I?)
I gotta say, I do appreciate that the Rain Code characters’ naming keeps the DanRon sensibilities, but formats them in a Western enough way that I can finally point to something to get people to understand the specific kind of stupid that DR names evoke.
Up until now, the closest I could get was the Gyakuten Saiban/Ace Attorney series, but in those games the names are extremely on the nose, where as DanRon is a tiny bit more subtle.
Like all of these characters’ dumb, dumb names sound hit the ear just the same way as most DR characters’ do to someone who knows Japanese. Aside from a few extra tidbits here and there, I’ll mostly let you guys soak in how dumb the names are this time and do quick intros for the characters.
First up, we’ve got our crew of detectives with their special talents. (Why is special backwards? Does that mean something?) They’re all dispatched out to the Kanai Ward, where the game takes place.
First one out in the open and the rest under the read more:
Desuhiko Thunderbolt
Special Skill: Disguise
Okay so I have to assume that the “desu” here is evoking “death” and not the meme about the part of speech, but you never know. The “-hiko” ending is, as you may know, a common boys’ name suffix. This is our womanizer character, who also wants to become a famous detective. He’s always carrying his giant backpack full of disguises, like a horny little happy mask salesman.
Also, reading the notes about how he can change not just his face and clothes, but his height, voice, and body type is making me laugh, because they really just made a More OP Sagishi, didn’t they?
Aphex Logan
Special Skill: Detecting Life
A veritable Seer of Life, here. Can sense and pinpoint the location of any living thing within a 50 meter radius. His posture, backstory, and overall vibe say yanki tough guy (after his lawyer parents died, he grew up in the slums), but that hat/mask thing kinda says New Japan Wrestling, so now I’m wondering if his last name is a reference to one half of the internet’s shittiest brothers. It does say he tends to solve things with violence.
Zange Eraser
Special Skill: Thoughtography
I want the last name to be a pun on eraser + razor so bad. I mean, the “zan” in the first name could refer to slicing with a sword, so it’d be so good! Oh well. In Japanese, “erasing” is slang for killing someone, in the same vein as “rubbin’ him out” kind of Looney Toons mobster talk. This older guy has the vibe of a seasoned warrior, and never speaks about his past. However, since he sometimes refers to himself as a “former official”, it’s possible he may be an ex-govt employee. His ability is that he can project his own memories as images onto digital devices, so I’m not sure what the pole is for. Selfie stick?
Zilch Alexander
Special Skill: Animal Puppetry
Being able to control animals is cool, I guess, but man this is a really good example of DR’s trademark “One Normal Name + One Really Stupid Name” principle in action.
Anyway, Zilch here loves the harmony between man and nature, and so he specializes in things that blend the two (i.e., animals). He has tendency to overtake conversations in order to make sure things proceed optimally, which gives off the impression to others that he thinks he’s better than everyone else. But hey, nobody’s perfect.
What an amazing character design. Love these animals’ poses and expressions, too. No notes.
Vivia Twilight
Special Skill: Separating Spirit from Body
Despite the name sounding like someone’s MLP OC, this little twink can yeet his soul out of his body to become invisible and not let walls or floors stand in his way. This name is so good, damn.
Vivia is one of those people with aesthetic, decadent kinda vibes. You know the ones. He’s got a self-indulgent type of personality, and you can often find him sleeping under the agency’s heater or beneath a hotel grand piano or whatever.
This is 100% the fanbait character.
Pucci Lavmin (Pucchi Ravmin)
Special Skill: Super Hearing
She may look like a little kid, but beneath her petite exterior lies machine-like serenity and intellect. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t get to talk to other people much, but she has a habit of unexpected responses or emotional outbursts in conversation. Guess she took the touching grass thing prescriptively?
Her skill seems a bit underwhelming considering we have a guy who can shapeshift and one who can re-enact that Pokemon Tower anime episode at will, but what do I know. I guess there’s lots of good practical applications to this one, which they point out, like listening in on conversations or for footsteps and stuff.
Harara Nightmare (Halala Nightmare)
Special Skill: Past Vision
Oh sure, don’t give me any direction on the romanization for this one, thanks. Also, why are both detectives on this page voiced by someone named Yui, written the same exact way? Weird. Anyway, excellent name, love it. Hindsight is always 20/20, and imagine if you could look back at actual 2020? Nightmare, right?
Harara/Halala always keeps a cool head and is able to make very precise deductions, so they’re a veteran of plenty of tough cases. That said, they trust nothing more than money, and won’t take on any clients that don’t offer sufficient compensation for their skills.
※ Thanks to @jadyjads for letting me know that the character’s official English profile uses they/them! (I’m sure you’re not surprised to learn that there are zero gender indicators in most of these blurbs in Japanese, so I usually just go off the VA to make a decision.)
Fubuki Clockford (possibly Crockford, but come on)
Special Skill: Rewinding Time
This one is my favorite name. As you may or may not know, “fubuki” means blizzard but is also a common girl’s name, but that’s not what makes it wonderful. The real star of the show is the meaningful last name that also sounds like a background character in Illbleed.
Good news: this Knight of Time’s powers aren’t busted, because you can only go back once, and after that you can’t use the power again until more time has passed.
Fubuki herself is an illustrious daughter of the noble Clockford family, and hasn’t had a lot of opportunities to interact with the normal, everyday world. As such, she’s got some unique views on things, and she’s often causing issues for people by marching to the beat of her own drum. She’s also got a bad tendency to drop conversations, which doesn’t help.
Melami Goldmine (Merami Goldmine)
Special Skill: Necromancy
This is another great name, because this one seems to hint at an avaricious nature, rather than being a direct reference to her talent. (Unless of course this is also a Zombieya no Reiko reference in which case, WOW.) She can raise the spirits of the dead for a price, but only if she’s wearing something the deceased wore in life.
Melami likes clothes, and people who'd look good in clothes she likes.
I... Okay, sure.
Yakou Furio
Role: Head of the Yakou (Midnight Service) Detective Agency
Not one of the Super Detectives (or Great Detectives? I haven’t kept up with the direction the loc is going), but still an accomplished sleuth recognized by the International Detectives Organization (World Detectives Organization? This might be a WHO reference). Presumably the founder of the agency, he’s also the only office staff, and everybody’s boss. Despite running the agency, he tries to keep operations on the downlow to avoid dealing with the Amaterasu Co. Security Dept. He’s known for his timid demeanor, but his name belies fiery rage (”yakou” can also mean “let’s burn”).
Yomii Hellsmile
Role: Head of Amaterasu Co.’s Security Dept
This is simultaneously a floor master from Kimi ga Shine (name, personality) and our Junko (personality, presence in a Kodaka game). He’s young but delights in the misfortune of others, crushes people with a serene demeaner, and uses his underlings just to toss them aside after. He rules Kanai Ward, and uses that achievement to broker influence within the Amaterasu Mega Company. (Wasn’t the big evil company in Enen no Shouboutai called Amaterasu too?)
Also, I revise my earlier statement, this may very well end up being the fanbait character...
Suwaro Electro
Role: Vice Head of Amaterasu Co.’s Security Dept
Meanwhile this character design is one that speaks to my heart. The first name kinda sounds like both the imperative order “sit!” and the English word “swallow”, while the last name just sounds like a C Tier comic book character. This is Yomii’s right hand woman, who is the beneficiary of his sprinklings of trust and love, and she thinks very highly of herself. She normally has zero mercy for those who oppose her but makes an exception to be a loyal lackey for Yomii, making her sorta like this game’s Mukuro. I hope she’s just as fail and tragic as my beloved Corpsey.
Then there’s these weirdos who work in the Amaterasu Co. Security Dept:
This rejected Persona enemy is Spank Cassanero, and he likes money.
I’m guessing at how to transliterate this name, since it could also be Spunk, and the last name could be a little different. Seemed like it was going for Italian to me, I dunno.
Next, the bullybait looking person is Seth Brows(e), the head of the security department’s investigation team. He speaks so softly that he needs a megaphone to help him project. He’s pretty subdued when he speaks, which makes him come across as kind of sickly.
The third-string Vtuber is called Gyoumu Hall, which is a classic stupid Japanese name, where you use the Western surname to just call a character “conference hall”. The leader of the security department’s Anti-Terrorist Unit, she talks fast, is rather animated, and uses the first person pronoun “this” (kore).
Finally, we have this 6′6″ fellow known as Dominic Fulltank. How apt. He sure looks like a Dominic, doesn’t he? He’s the vice head of the Anti-Terorrist Unit. He’s totally loyal to Gyoumu, though sometimes struggles to carry out more complicated orders.
...Some of these characters have unfortunate optics, man.
So there you have it!
This includes most of the actual info from the Famitsu issue last week; if you want to see some of the other text on the pages then cool, but you aren’t missing too much.
Thanks for reading and have a good week!

G, L, Y, U for the asks!
Thanks!
G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?
Lol, boy, and how! I live and breathe otp’s. My very first otp was probably Seto Kaiba x Serenity Wheeler, from YuGiOh. They were the first fanfic I ever read on fanfiction.net, lol. First otp ship I ever contributed to fandom for was Sesshomaru x Kagome from Inuyasha, where I wrote my very first fics and did fanart.
Though if we want to get really cheeky, I could argue that my very first ship was the knife and the spoon, from cutlery and making them kiss as a tiny kiddo, lol.
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)
Hmmm, this is weirdly tough for me, not the complimenting part, but because I have a weird metric of how I view characters. Hm, let’s go with… Mizora. I’m overall neutral on her but I appreciate her petty bitch energy. If I were a cambion, I’d like to be as ambitious as Raphael but in reality I’d be like Mizora and I do appreciate a good petty play. It’s the Gemini in me, lol.
U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
I have many favorites but I’ll go with Harley Quinn from Batman, Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls, and since brainrot be real, Raphael from BG3.
Harley Quinn has been a favorite character of mine since I was a kid watching Batman the Animated Series. I’ve always been a fan of theatrical aesthetics (circus, theatre, commedia dell’arte, etc) and she’s just such a fun character. I’ve really liked over the years how she’s waffled between villain and anti-hero and how she’s not a perfect victim. Also Harley Quinn x Poison Ivy is a top tier ship.
Grunkle Stan because one of my biggest weaknesses in fiction is a sad morally grey older man but who is also protective of his family. He’s fucked up in his life so many times but he keeps trying. I’m a sucker for that. But also he’s just a great character. He’s made me laugh and cry and honestly that’s just a good criteria for any character. I’ve 100% played the fanmade Grunkle dating simulator and no regrets or shame.
And speaking of morally grey, or in this case, completely terrible older men. Raphael, my beloved. I played BG3 in its EA days and the very first time he appeared I was smitten. His voice obviously but also he had my favorite introduction into the game (and still does). The fact that his devil transformation involved a snazzy belt and different shoes is what really sold him to me. He’s so stupidly extra and it calls to my theatre kid nature, lol. I do miss the EA days of him roasting our camp 5 sec after inviting himself.
All that being said, I just enjoy his character within the game too. I like that he’s obviously a villain but he’s chill with us. In part because he wants something from us but I like that it kinda transforms for him into a double obsession. Obviously, crown comes first but there’s something just so delightfully fun about him writing about our character in his journal (entry number 2 is the stuff ships are made of). That he’s a cringefail theatre kid with daddy issues while being thousands of years old is partly what makes him endearing. I loved finding his fanfiction in his house and I love how stupidly bad his hell domination plan is (you’re doing amazing sweetie).
And one other bonus to liking his character is I got to make new friends and moots in particular in his corner of the fandom. 💖
Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
Hm, I’d say currently, Helluva Boss, I’ve got a couple friends into that show. It’s certainly on my list of things to eventually sit down and watch but for now I see it through what my friends show me. Looks good though!

Themes and Tropes Tag
I was tagged by @tabswrites whose post is here! How did you know I go absolutely feral for anything having to do with tropes? Maybe the title of my blog? In any case, thank you! I'll even link you to the correct pages on TV Tropes for each one, because I have the official names for a lot of these memorized, and actually had a list of almost 100 going at one point and how they applied to my work; that's how obsessed I am. After all, you have to know the tropes before you can subvert them, right? (See #15).
RULES: Look back on your work, both past and present, finished and unfinished. What are five to ten fifteen narrative elements or tropes that continuously pop up in your work?
Everything in italics is courtesy of TV Tropes.
1. All Girls Want Bad Boys - ...the Troubled, but Cute youth with a tragic past is a woobie needing comfort; he's tough enough to be a girl's protector, but vulnerable enough to need her as well...
Usually applies to my male characters.
2. The Charmer - The Jack-the-Lad. Cocky, cheeky and devil-may-care, he's the type of guy you can't help but like, even as he's wrapping you around his little finger.
Usually also applies to my male characters.
3. The Determinator -There is no stopping the Determinator. They do not understand tact. They do not Know When to Fold 'Em, and it's a waste of time to tell them the odds. No one can reason with them. No price is too great to pay for success, up to and including their own life.
Usually applies to my female characters, especially when they're rushing to help and/or save the:
6. Distressed Dude - Meet the Spear Counterpart of the Damsel in Distress.
When the Bad Boy Charmer gets himself into trouble he can't charm his way out of, he becomes this. A lot of whump writing is this taken up to 11, and my own work is no exception. I also use Damsel in Distress, but not quite as often.
7. Uptown Girl - Our lovers are from different worlds — one wealthy, one not.
My first novel and Good Slaves Never Break the Rules played this pretty much straight. In the case of The Adored (which actually references Gatsby) the wealthy character is actually the antagonist of sorts, and the MC is the "normal" middle-class girl who has to make her not-wealthy love interest see the light.
This is often a jumping-off point to explore larger, Gatsbyesque themes related to money, class, fame, wealth, and corruption (see also: Was it All Worth It/Rags to Riches), and after the characters have learned their lessons, usually ultimately leads us to:
8. Standard Hero Reward -- This relates to #7 and by definition it's a spoiler, so I'll say no more. (Sometimes it's played straight, sometimes lampshaded/subverted).
9. Xanatos Speed Chess -- Some characters have an amazing gift not only for making The Plan but for revising it whenever new circumstances arise. See also: Zany Scheme.
Or maybe I've just performed in too many musical comedies.
10. Unresolved (often also Belligerent) Sexual Tension - Two people are obviously attracted to each other, but some element of the story is keeping them apart. See also: Mutual Pining/Idiots in love/Will They or Won't They?
11. Dark and Troubled Past - Something terrible happened to a character; some tragic event in their past that shaped a fundamental level of their personality. Long after the event is over, it still has a powerful influence on the character's life.
Chances are if one my characters is important enough to have a past at all, there's probably something terrible in it.
12. Deadpan Snarker - A character prone to gnomic, sarcastic, sometimes bitter, occasionally whimsical asides.
My main characters MUST have a sense of humor, and it's usually this kind.
13. The Chessmaster -- Chessmasters tug at their strings of influence, patiently move their pieces into places that often seem harmless or pointless until the trap is closed.
I tend to often make my villains and/or antiheroes some variation of this, and no matter how evil they are, they almost always have a:
14. Freudian Excuse -- ...writers may keep the villain (especially The Sociopath) just as vile as before, but reveal that they have a reason for being that way.
(Hint: It's usually their parents).
And finally, this brings us to the most important trope of all:
15. Lampshading -- ... the writers' trick of dealing with any element of the story that threatens the audience's Willing Suspension of Disbelief, whether a very implausible plot development or a particularly blatant use of a trope, by calling attention to it and simply moving on.
In other words, you can get away with using the same tropes over and over and over again, as long as you do it with a wink and a nod at the readers.
I could keep going on this forever, but instead, I'll gently tag:
@i-can-even-burn-salad @janec23 @mysticstarlightduck @rickie-the-storyteller @writingforjoy

I saw you’re now taking requests for moon knight. So can I ask what your head cannon would be for Steven ( maybe all the moon boys? ) when they realise they’re in love? 🥰
Yeah! Thank you for requesting and of course I can do all our Moonboys ☺️ I saw the other ask clarifying that you were friends and then they fall for you, just answering it all here as this ask made more sense ✨
Be kind, I’ve been hooked on moonknight since day one but this is my first dip into attempting anything for them so, bit short but I’m testing the waters. Be nice and enjoy ✨
Remember these are hcs and if you don’t agree that’s fine because people see them differently!
Steven:
- he had a crush the moment he saw you for the first time. And just fell for you SO fast. So fast.
- but he didn’t want to ruin your friendship. So he kept it to himself.
- he’s awful at reading people and was 100% convinced you only wanted to stay friends so didn’t do a thing for months and months.
- he’s always getting flustered, always finding excuses to hold your hand or touch your face or scooch closer to you.
- it was very obvious that he had feelings for you but you wanted to wait and see if he’d actually have the balls to do anything.
- in the end you grew impatient and made the move because my god he’s just so oblivious to everything.
- he still asked you afterwards if you actually liked him back. As if it wasn’t already obvious.
Marc
- as soon as he started to realise he had feelings for you he distanced himself.
- marc + dealing with his emotions = error code 404
- it was a miracle he’d let anyone become as close to him on a friendship level. Never mind a relationship. Getting him to open up to you had been a task.
- he’s just… not good with his emotions and expressing them.
- so he just avoids you.
- thankfully you can see right through him.
- so when you confront him and he realises there’s no point denying anymore he gives in and tells you everything.
- and even though he’s a tough nut to crack, once you’re in he opens up to you more and more. And he realises he should have just confessed a long time ago.
Jake
- if Marc’s bad at dealing with his emotions Jake is on a whole new level.
- he fell quicker than he’d expected, it shocked him quite frankly.
- he absolutely refused to accept it at first. He had more important things to be concerned about than something as fickle and time consuming as being in love.
- so he simply pretended he wasn’t
- until he came to pick you up one night after work and saw you hugging a coworker goodbye and he was so jealous.
- and he realised he had no choice but to accept his feelings even if he didn’t want to.

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...
This is gonna be very hard to decide but I'll try my best. Gonna stick this under a Read More 'cause this shit boutta be long as hell:
1) Neku Sakuraba from The World Ends With You
He's the main character of the story that changed my life. He was very relatable to me at the time I first consumed TWEWY over a decade ago, and even now I still have a lot in common with him. Neku is very important to me because taught me a lot and impacted me in a way that I feel like I'd be a completely different person had I never encountered TWEWY during those formative years.
2) Kakashi Hatake from Naruto
I don't have some profound reason for Kakashi like I did Neku. But I think he was the very first character I ever became obsessed with or cared about deeper than just liking them because I liked the media they were in. And realistically, what's not to like about him.
(From here onward the accuracy of the list may dwindle because of the sheer amount of media I've consumed. I'll probably forget someone or important or simply be unable to decide, so take who I choose with a pinch of salt, especially in order. I have many faves and I am only certain about Neku and Kakashi's places on this list).
3) Sophie Hatter from Howl's Moving Castle
Because HMC is my favorite Ghibli movie I may be biased, but I always looked up to Sophie due to her strength and capacity to love free of judgments and despite any ugliness, inside or out. She's pretty, kind, brave, and tough, all the things I wanted to grow up to be as a kid when I first saw HMC.
4) Shizuku from Whisper of the Heart
Shizuku is one of my favorites for a more specific and personal reason; because we're both writers. I see in her a lot of myself when I was younger and even now. Having the desire to write something you can be proud of and satisfied with, to the point of being hard on yourself and emotional when you fall short of your own expectations. She's a complicated ball of emotions, but she's got tenacity and a love for whimsy that she puts into her writing. I just find her relatable and lovable.
5) Haruki Nakayama from Given
I just feel a spiritual connection to Haruki. We're kindred spirits, in the way we act, think, view ourselves. How we experience love and the relationship we have to our craft. He really is just like me fr.
6) The Chocobros from FFXV
Nooow I know this is cheating by including all of them, pero like... Do not separate! No but realistically, I can't choose one of them over the other because I love them all for different reasons, but I'd also be remiss to not add any of them to this list. They all had such an impact on my life, brought me joy during a particularly dark time, and their friendship and bond is something I envy and seek to have for myself someday.
7) Kotetsu T. Kaburagi from Tiger & Bunny
Would y'all crucify me if I said he's my favorite superhero across all media? I mean it honestly. Kotetsu is the embodiment of what a hero should be, his attitude, morals, and passion for helping others. He's like the perfect protag to me. He gets bonus points for being a goofy dorky single dad who's tryng his best, and is also hot.
8) Shigeo Kageyama from Mob Psycho 100
Do I even need to explain this one. Mob taught me so much about being kind and forgiving to not only others but yourself. Not many pieces of media have touched me in a way that MP100 has, and Mob fits into a lot of my favorite protag tropes. He's just a simple, sweet darling boy and he's so cherished and important to me.
9) Yona from Akatsuki no Yona
One of the female protagonists of all time. I love her for many of the same reasons I love Sophie, but she's just 10x more cool. As Spike Spiegel once said, I love a woman who can kick my ass.
10) My OC Seth Manolis
Now I realize this may be cheating but I couldn't decide on the last character, and I'd argue he technically counts according to your criteria, because he's the protag of two novels I wrote myself. I created Seth when I was 14, writing little "journal entries" about his life on Deviantart back in the day to cope with me starting high school, but over the years his story has evolved into something serious and now I'm writing a whole trilogy about him (on the third book now). He's very important to me because writing his story has got me through a lot in my life, and I put so many pieces of myself into him, although not exactly a self-insert. I can go on all day about Seth, but just know he's my special little blorbo who I don't know what I would've done without. (Art is commissioned from @/bumblevip on IG.)

i'm also going through a tough time. want to share any weird pedo pascal facts to lift our spirits? your blog makes me happy in shitty times i hope you find something that makes you happy in your shitty times pedro related or not.
I'm gonna make you your favorite drink and will send the best fucking hug your way, Nonnie. We shall kick the shitty times' ass.
Pedro has a special place in my heart - he's my comfort celebrity and a source of so much serotonin. He has single handedly dragged me out of a very artblocky period of my life, and I am going to think about him as my sunshine man for the next however many years.
Weird Pedro facts, you say!
The fun thing is, I am not sure if I actually know any! We can swap some, Nonnie, but I will be cheating and share random things, if that's okay.
Nice stuff I think about quite often:
- Someone pointed out he's got a heart shaped patch in his beard and whenever I randomly remember it it makes me smile.
- I didn't realize he played the character who traumatized me back when I was on-and-off watching GOT until my friend pointed it out years later. To be fair, it was the only episode with him that I have seen! But still.
- His face is super fun to draw, even if I don't get it 100% right most of the time; he's got some very pretty, distinct features, and trying to portray him in art is so nice
- I am deeply, madly in love with the grays in his beard and the wrinkles around his eyes.
- My parents actually really, really like Pedro and my mom calls him her boy, and always goes "what a man" when she sees him. No one is immune to his charm, apparently.
And hey
Thank you so, so much for reaching out - I don't even know how to express just how much that means to me. Thank you!
You can shot me a message anytime you feel like talking, Nonnie. No need to go through tough times alone.

Never read One Peice so I am VERY curious as to how and why Thriller Bark is the "most one peice One Peice gets". Cuz it already seems pretty wacky from what crossed my dash.
Okay, first of all: Don't read One Piece. I wouldn't say because its bad, but because its time consuming.
It is a very long manga about Some Guy in a hat making friends beating up assholes and the government. Doesn't everyone fantasize about having a rando show up out of nowhere and beat up your shitty boss, leaving your life permanently altered?
That being said, most One Piece characters look fucking weird. They all look like the artist might have seen a real person at one point in his life, and then made a caricature of that. I say this with affection. The wide variety of character designs such as long horse and Octopus with 6 swords make the world feel cartoony and silly.
All of them, but the women. (and our one trans dude character, it feels wrong not to mention him.) For one piece is... very catered to the male gaze. According to One Piece, a woman's internal organs are stored in her tits. And the second most prominent female character in the series, who has been in the series for a decade, just got her second solo fight! (Partly because the author gave her a good ranged superpower so logistically she could just snap her opponents neck before the fight begins... but still!)
Thriller bark begins by an antagonist spying on and groping one of our beloved female characters in the slower. Our traditional ladies man and wet cat (who happens to be my favorite turned problematic fave) is rightfully pissed off about this, since his friend and crewmate was assaulted under his nose.
Later, the antagonist kidnaps out leading lady, causing the ladies man to go after her. Decent plotline, right? Makes sense. SIKE! The reason he was mad is because he wanted the superpower the criminal used to assault his friend but didn't get it. Presumably to also perv on people, but a slightly more charitable explanation is given years down the line.
This seemed remarkably OOC at the time, but more jokes in this style would soon follow. To the point where I dare say my dude was flanderized.
Another main problem with Thriller Bark is that the pacing was incredibly wonky. This is slightly subjective, but most One Piece fights are slightly long because the villains are tough, and Luffy has to take a certain amount of damage before he can kick ass.
This fight, it felt like the Straw Hats were winning, and the villain was pulling tricks that weren't foreshadowed and didn't make sense out of his ass. He also wasn't making the best strategic decisions during the fight, which is in character I guess, but still disappointing. The heroes are on a time limit and would have died in a few hours if the villain of the week had just chosen NOT to fight. I wish that this was like, called out?
This is a nitpick compared to the two above problems, but the arc before this, we got two new crewmates! Going in, I was hoping the arc was about them, but instead it was about our first mate, captain, a third new crewmate, and total character derailment for my favorite boy.
That being said, the Zoro moment in this arc is fantastic, to the point where I'd feel bad spoiling it. Like, if you were to ask people about their top ten one piece moments, this would get mentioned a LOT. the badassery.
We also get this ICONIC moment from Luffy and tons more like it. You wouldn't think an arc based of halloween would be so funny, but here we are.
I'd give the arc a solid C, but every individual aspect is either an 100 or a 0.

I was on Twitter for a while and had to log out - people are incredibly mean to the Tomlinsons’ if it doesn’t fit their narrative. Someone screenshotted your ask and poster on Twitter so I came back to Tumblr but - I really do not think it’s any of our business what Louis does with his child ? At this point (& yes I was here for the beginning of baby gate + the staged photo ops 😩) it’s been so long since 2016. I think this is the narrative that Louis is in and I am not so sure he wants to break that narrative. We cannot read his mind ? He’s saying he has a child and he loves him. People need to respect that? Yes I do think it’s weird how Louis talks to/about Freddie but from my point of view it looks like Louis is like generally in this little boys life. I don’t think he has parental rights like 100% but I do think he at least sees that child once a month (as he lives in LA/London). At the end of the day, Louis never wanted to be a father at 26 and it’s very clear. However Louis seems like a very honest and genuine person and has talked about the men in his life being deadbeats. He understands that life is tough (common people) but like at the moment he’s still really young - I think he’s trying to balance being a young adult while also being a father while also being a rockstar. Its not realistic to see that child all the time. And im saying this respectfully. He also might think he’s a terrible father due to his own past trauma. WE. DONT. KNOW.
Many have asked about this and I just don’t want to add any more to it. Louis is a caring person. He is caring the best way he knows how. To obsess about the situation is to transfer our own complicated feelings and project in an ignorant way. That applies to all of his relationships.

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...
Ooh I don't mind at all but also this is a very hard question 🤣 I'll make a caveat that this top 10 is not necessarily in order and is subject to change but I love any opportunity to talk about my faves <3. Think of it as list of characters that I love more than a proper top 10
Yuki Sohma (Fruits Basket) - Gotta start with the guy that's been my icon on here for several years now. I read the Fruits Basket manga when I was in 7th grade and I resonated so hard with Yuki's internal struggles. I've always said our life circumstances are very different but our anxieties and personal difficulties are so similar and I had never encountered a character I related to so hard before so I latched on and have not let go to this day
Shigeo Kageyama (Mob Psycho 100) - I'm currently rewatching this series and keep thinking about how if it had come out when I was younger I would have probably latched on to Mob just as much as I did Yuki for how relatable he can be lmao. As an adult I watch it and really root for this kid and feel genuinely proud in every moment of growth he experiences.
Yusuke Urameshi (Yu Yu Hakusho) - A character I was younger than the first time I watched the anime and am currently significantly older than and he has become my anime son. I adore this boy in all of his asshole tough guy posturing and his wit and genuine care for his friends and determination and just all of it. I also want to wrap him in a blanket and give him some delicious hot soup.
Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass) - One thing about me is if a character is pretty and cunning and deadly intelligent and morally grey, they are likely going to be a favorite and Lelouch was an early example of this for me. Code Geass is one of my favorite animes I've ever watched and watching Lelouch scheme and generally be him is so damn delightful every time. He's a character I feel like I could write an entire dissertation on, I honestly could with any of these characters, but I am trying to avoid that for the sake of the length of this post lmao
Wei Wuxian (Mdzs/The Untamed) - How did it take me this long to talk about mdzs? Wei Wuxian is absolutely amazing to watch or read about in every single scene. Complicated and brilliant and cocky and so very tragic. He's another one who hits a LOT of points on the "Who is gonna be Sarah's next favorite character" bingo card. I've scarcely cried for a character as much as I've cried for Wei Wuxian, he is so dear to my heart.
Chuuya Nakahara (Bungo Stray Dogs) - What can I say? I love an angry boy. I'll be honest, a lot of my initial love for Chuuya was aesthetics. His hair and outfit alone had me primed to love him from the start but then he came in with that cocky/angry attitude and honestly fucking sick power and that solidified it lmao. And then the more I learned about him beyond the aesthetics and immediate impressions the more I loved him.
Jiang Cheng (Mdzs/The Untamed) - Definitely gotta mention my favorite angry boy of all my angry boys <3. This man has so many flaws and I honestly do get why it's hard for some people to like him but man I love him so much. His temper, to me, is just another side of his passion which also extends into his ambition and love and he rebuilt his clan from nothing and I'm definitely a person who even when it comes to his more "wrong" decisions/actions I think they're more understandable than the people who hate him say. I feel a strong need to defend him a lot of the time
Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) - Nothing but respect for my pirate king!!!! Luffy is such a fun character. Like truly one of my favorite shonen protags of all time and that mostly comes down to how hard he makes me smile while reading just constantly. Everything he says and everything he does is so wildly entertaining while also being so earnest and honest and simultaneously laid back. The way he loves his crew and puts everything he has into being their captain. I love him so much lol
Wen Kexing (Word of Honor) - Pretty, cunning, morally grey, do I need to say more? His totally shameless attitude in the beginning was so funny all the time and then the deeper we got into his character the more he went from being the most entertaining person on screen to, well still that, but also a character I feel so many emotions for all the time.
Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) - Now here's some top tier anime son material. My love for Al has only ever grown with the years and subsequent rewatches of this series. I. Love. This. Boy. He has seen and been through too much and is still so good and loving and steadfast in his goals and values. Literally couldn't find a better boy. 10/10

Temptation Pt18
Temptation Masterlist
"Trying to walk and chew gum at the same time again, Bella?" Emmett and I walk into the room hand in hand. Bella is having her hand wrapped by Carlisle
"Punched a werewolf in the face"
"Badass. Your going to be one tough little newborn"
"Tough enough to take you on" Bella smiles at Emmett. Rose throws a news paper down and walks out on to the balcony
"Don't worry about it" Thomas smiles. There's a pause of awkwardness until Edward asks if there are any leads. Bella follows Rose out. I decide to follow her out
"Go blather to someone else about the joys of becoming a newborn"
"Rose" I scold
"Ok. Rosalie. I don't understand what I did to make you hate me so much"
"Hate?" Rose shakes her head "I don't hate you. I don't particularly like you, but.." there's a pause "Bella I envy you"
"What? that's ridiculous" Bella asks confused. I walk over to Rosalie and take her hand in mine knowing that's she's talking about how she won't ever be able to have kids
"No it's not. You have a choice. I didn't. None of us did" Rosalie looks at me then at Bella "you do, and your choosing wrong. I don't care how miserable your human life is"
"My life is not miserable. It's not perfect, nobodies life is perfect"
"Mine was. Absolutely perfect. There were things I still wanted. To be married with a nice house and a husband to kiss me when he came home. A family of my own"
"Royce King was the most eligible bachelor in town and of course our Rose had him" I smile sympathetically at Rosalie
"I barley knew him, but I was young. I was in love with the idea of love. On the last night of my life I left a friends house late. I wasn't far from home" Rose tells Bella the story of how she was rapped and beat to death and how Carlisle found her. I wipe a tear from my face, the both of us going through the same thing has brought us super close "I got my revenge on them. One at a time, saved Royce for last so he'd know I was coming"
"You were very theatrical back then weren't you" I chuckle
"Things got better after I found Thomas, but we will always be this, frozen. Never moving forward. That's what I miss the most. The possibilities. Sitting on a front porch somewhere Thomas, grey haired by my side. Surrounded by our grand children. Their laugher"
"I wish Emmett and I could have children as well" I look down at my hands "like I've said before Bella if your 100% sure about all of this then fine but if your not don't become one of us just because of a boy. As much as I care for Edward and your his mate, don't regret anything"
"I understand that's what you both want, but there's nothing I'm ever gonna want more, than Edward"
"Your wrong again" Rose looks at Bella "after you've been changed there's one thing you'll want more. One thing you'll kill for. Blood" Rose turns around and walks back into the house
"She's right Bella. If this is what you want, be prepared for no sleep, no food and craving blood all the time. That being said, there are some positives"
"Like?"
"Being with the one you love for all eternity, oh and heads up the sex is great" I wink at her before leaving the balcony to go back into the living room. Everyone is looking at me. It takes me a while to realise they heard me "what? Just speaking the truth and none of you can deny it" I shrug "now I'm tired so I'm going to bed"
I walk up the stairs and enter mine and Emmett's bedroom. I know Emmett has followed me up, he's not really the quietest. The bedroom door closes
"So your theory, wanna test it out?" he asks wrapping his arms around my waist
"You know" I turn around to face my husband "I would, but I actually am tired" I smirk at him
"Are you sure Mrs Cullen? we can be quick" Emmett smirks
"And what's the point in that?" I lean up and kiss his lips. The door flies open and Thomas is stood there
"Look have sex, don't have sex just hurry and decide we want to know if we need to leave the house or not" Thomas shuts our door
"We really need our own home" I sigh "everyone out the house. Come back in a few hours"
"A few hours!" Jasper yells
"Brother get out" Emmett says raising his voice "we really do need our own home"

✶✶✶✶✶ — & steve ofc
Send ✶ and I’ll write a headcanon about our muses / ACCEPTING / @harringtontm
Eddie and Steve don't really come into much dollar until Eddie starts making it big in the music industry. Steve knew he was giving up his rich boy security by running off with Eddie, and has never regretted it. But the lack of funds means that many dreams go unfulfilled. So when Eddie starts to see the dollars roll in on his debut album. The first thing he does is purchase a six month round the world tour for him and Steve for Steve's 28th because his Stevie deserves it, and they've never been able to have a vacation out of the country. Now Steve gets to go wherever he wants with Eddie by his side.
Speaking of fame...Eddie kinda knew it would be hard. But when the tabloids start digging into his background, bringing up his family history, the murder accusations. It's a really rough period. People in the industry don't take the accusations too seriously because the prejudice against metal music is widespread, associating it with satanism etc. But there are nights spent crying in Steve's arms that he wants to quit, and it's more the stuff about his family that effects him. Eddie had been doing very well to put his mother and father behind him. But then it's being dragged back up, exaggerated, and thrown in his face to the point people think his scars were made by his father. It's not like he can tell the truth either. The noise dies down eventually, but Eddie would not have gotten through that period without Steve. Not at all. He would have 100% turned to drink and drugs without his support.
The black ring on Eddie's hand eventually ends up on Steve's finger as a romantic gesture. He doesn't say until Steve proposes to him years later that the black ring was actually his mother's engagement ring, so they've kinda been engaged for years already. But he cherishes the ring Steve proposes to him with for the rest of his life. Hardly ever removes it.
Their earlier years really are spent being dumb boys together. They party a lot, fuck even more (when aren't they, tho?) , experiment with drugs etc. Among their chief idiot moments is a drunk Steve wrongly accusing a dude of groping Eddie in a club. Eddie had actually dropped a fucking baggie of E pills and went super quick to pick them up, and bumped into the guy accidentally. It was sweet that Steve was willing to fight a guy with half a foot on him for Eddie's honour, and if the dude had groped him. Eddie might have let him fight. But he didn't and Eddie ended up giving some of his precious pills away as an apology while dealing with an angry Steve. They then left swiftly while Eddie explained. Oops?
When Steve first starts working as an EMT. Eddie waits up for him through the odd shift hours just to listen to how his night went. He massages Steve's shoulders, kisses his neck and back, and listens to his stories with genuine fascination. Eddie had already been impressed with his babe way before then, but it adds to the awe he has of Steve hearing about the tough situations, and the calls he has to make sometimes. It's a lot at times. Eddie likes being someone Steve can unload to when he needs it, and he always makes time for it whether it's first thing in the morning, or in the middle of the night. It's important to him that Steve is listened to and taken care of emotionally.
#harringtontm#ship. whenever i’m alone with you; you make me feel like i am whole again (harringtontm) 🎸#𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚗 : 𝚖𝚢 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍? 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚊 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎. 🎸#Damn girl you went for the five star treatment

BL Drama Asks~
Tagged by @softkuea thank you lovely, and glad to see you on my dash <3
If you had to watch one drama forever which would it be?
Listen, this is going to be predictable but it has to be KinnPorsche. The amount of scenes I already replay constantly. The amount of nuances there are to pick apart.
If you could change the ending of a drama, which would you choose?
I gotta take for the team and choose History: Make our Days Count. Should the title have been a hint? Sure. Were any of us emotionally prepared for that (unnecessary) ending? Nope. And heck, we, and the characters, deserve better.
Name your favourite drama and who your favourite character was.
I’m pretty sure at this point KinnPorsche has taken its throne as my favourite BL of all time. It’s taking Thai BL, and BL in general to an entirely different context and that’s worth applauding. But I’ve never had as much genuine enjoyment from start to end as I did watching KP. As for my favourite character.. that’s tough.. but it’s gotta be Kinn. He had me from “I’m more like my Mum” *kills a guy*.
Name a drama you dropped within a few episodes.
So, I actually do this a fair bit. I like to give most shows a chance, but with the increasing over-saturation in BL, many don’t hold my attention. Some of these include: Don’t Say No (no explanation necessary), Bite Me (I just found it boring, soo much empty space) and Physical Therapy (it just lacked substance)
Name a popular drama you've never watched and why.
Ossan’s Love (either version). I’ve heard the name around a fair bit so I’m kinda just assuming it’s popular. As for why I haven’t watched it, I guess it just skipped over my radar? I don’t know anything about the plot or anything, and haven’t looked into it. That simple I guess.
Name a drama you regret watching.
Tonhon Chonlatee. This one might be controversial… but I didn’t enjoy much at all about this show, I’m not sure how I even finished it.
Name a drama you thought you'd never watch but did and ended up liking it.
I’m just gonna go with a recent one because my memory is too shit for this. Triage. I never watched the trailer, it was never really on my radar, I wasn’t invested in the pairings and I didn’t put it down on my to-watch list. However, upon seeing many users I respect the opinions of recommend this drama, I decided to give it a watch. KinnPorsche had ended and I needed to fill the giant hole it left. Boy, once I started Triage I couldn’t stop watching it, and finished it within 24 hours.
Name a pairing you want to see.
This one’s tough for me… it’s not something I think about often, I take what I’m fed lmao. I’m not sure this 100% counts but, I would love to see First and Gawin in their own series.
Name a pairing you didn't think had any chemistry.
This is probably controversial of me too, but Yeonwoo and Yoohan in Colour Rush. I mean no offence - but this may be due to Hyunjun’s acting for me. While I’m at it, unpopular opinion, I think Yeonwoo and Sehyun had more chemistry. Overall not as big of a fan of this drama as many seem to be.
Name a pairing you've seen in another drama that you like.
I don’t understand this question at all. What does it mean by ‘in another drama’? Therefore I’m just going to skip it lmao.
Tagging:
@angelbesideme @bearinglight @lovepattranite (feel free to ignore)
