Not too long ago I rambled about how Leander, Ais, and Mhin might be representing each of the three moons in the Triple Goddess Symbol and what that could imply about the Touchstarved routes. I left out Kuras and Vere since it’s, well, the Triple Goddess Symbol… but I wanna talk about them now. Leander, Ais and Mhin are connected, but so are Kuras and Vere. 
Just in a different way: they’re foil characters.
A foil character is essentially a literary device in which writers highlight a character’s traits (be it their personality, appearances, or philosophies) with another character who has traits that are opposite to them. But this is not to say that they’re complete opposites or made to be protagonist vs antagonist. They can be similar in some ways like two sides of the same coin. For example, Sherlock and Watson are popular foil characters. Both are intelligent, but in different ways. Sherlock is the logical type of intelligence while Watson is emotionally intelligent. They’reboth  friends, but they also challenge each other with their philosophies and methodology.
I feel like that is also the case with Kuras and Vere. Though they are far from friends, I do believe that they were designed to be foil characters and possibly challenge each other whether that be as rivals, foes or eventually– friends.  Am I coping? Maybe. But hear me out:
Tumblr media
Vere’s design is primarily black and silver whereas Kura’s design is white and gold. Black and White. Silver and gold. Both of these are opposites. Black and white represent the typical opposites like good and evil.
Kuras is a virtuous person at heart. He dislikes dishonesty and has saved both MC and Mhin’s life and they might not be the only people he’s saved because we know he wanders the wastelands. On the other hand, Vere dislikes rules, is a natural liar and causes a lot of trouble whether that be breaking into Kura’s clinic or stealing MC’s key.
Another set of opposites black and white represents is heaven and hell. Kuras is obviously representative of heaven. He is an angel, a divine being. One that supposedly sinned, but he is still a divine being nonetheless. Then there’s Vere, a monstrous beast chained by Senobium. While he isn’t from hell (or maybe he is; we’ll have to find out), he has a hellish motif in his chains. In the Bible, the Chains of Hell are forged by humans who choose to disobey God's commandments. Chains of Hell give Satan the power to control and influence humans. Vere’s hair is also a fiery red. While the notion that hell is a burning hot pit of sulfur is biblically inaccurate, we have come to associate hell with hot temperatures because of how modern media depicts hell. But it also depends on different conceptions of hell you look at. Some shows like Netflix’s Lucifer depict hell as a cold, desolate place and Good Omens depict it as an underground subway of sorts. In Dante’s Inferno, hell is described to have nine “layers”. We know them better as the nine circles of hell, each modeled after a sin. The center of hell in this depiction is burning and hot, but other circles are cold or have completely different environments.
Silver and gold is also mentioned in the Bible. They’re usually mentioned together, but these metals do have different connotations. Gold is thought to be more “superior” than silver is. Even today, gold is used to represent first place and silver is used to represent second place in competitions ranging from school spelling bees to the Olympics.  
But biblically speaking, gold was a metal chosen to represent God’s glory. It’s mentioned in Genesis (2:11-12)– “It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone”. Gold is one of the first metals mentioned in the Bible thus being closely associated with God. And from there, the heavens have always been depicted with gold. Golden gates, golden arches, etc. And this is my own interpretation, but seeing as gold can withstand extreme heats without being tarnished, it can also be seen as a “pure” metal, a metal that could withstand hellfire. Supposedly anyway. As for silver…. It’s a bit more “common” than gold would appear to be. If gold represents wealth and the heavens, then silver is associated with trade. Although silver is a precious metal, it is also a fairly mundane metal. You see silver every day whether it’s real or steel– on mechanical pencils, technology, utensils, needles, etc.
Kuras having gold in his design helps to sell the ethereal look of an angel, but it also creates this divine, out-of-reach aura without revealing his true form (which is also probably too much for mortals to handle). His height adds to that as well. He’s so tall that he is literally out of reach. Kuras’s personality also makes him hard to reach. He doesn’t talk much about himself and you can hardly learn anything about him with small talk. He’s mysterious and allusive and Leander has never bought him a drink before. Also he’s a doctor. Not to say that doctors can’t be friendly or have friends, but it does create this professional boundary for many of his patients– and perhaps other people too– making it hard for his patients to connect with him in an intimate/close way.
Vere is of a fairly average height and despite being a monster, he has a very mundane feel to him. Not mundane as in he’s boring, but rather earthly. Very grounded. Compared to Kuras, he is very much within reach by human standards. At least from just talking to him. Yes, he plays around with his food and his words, but you can also garner a lot more from someone who talks a lot than from someone who never talks about themselves at all. From the get go, we knew he didn't like Kuras. In the demo, he makes many of his likes and dislikes clear. Vere feels very human in a way. He also goes out to have fun, drinks, expresses himself whether that be through talking up a pantomime, speaking in a vulgar way,  or having a hobby like drawing.
Tumblr media
Each character’s chest windows also visually imply something similar about their personalities. Vere has a plunging neckline that exposes a good part of his upper body. Kuras has a bit of a plunge too though it’s not as deep, barely going past his sternum. Kuras’s chest area is also covered by some kind of sleeveless undershirt. It’s sheer, but it still covers his chest. These design choices suggest that Vere is more open about his feelings than Kuras is hence why his chest, or heart, is more exposed. Kuras’s “heart” is covered by a sheer material, meaning you could see some of his feelings but perhaps not all of it as he is guarding them with a barrier of some sort. Keeping his guard up, if you will.
Their chest areas aren’t the only “similar yet different” aspects of their designs. Color schemes and chest areas aside, they both have a robe-like outfit. Their top garments have bell sleeves and this small “train” that drapes down to their legs. Kuras’s sleeves are much longer than Vere’s and they’re detached from the rest of his top, but I think that it’s part of his ethereal look. There’s something classy and elegant about long sleeves.
Tumblr media
As for the rest of his outfit, it’s pristine and structured. There’s distinct shapes and sections. The design is seemingly symmetrical (except for his belts) which probably suggests that he’s an organized and straight-laced person with an occasional 180 (probably fueled by his fatal flaw)
Tumblr media
Vere’s sleeves and most of his top is sheer and flowy. They’re probably made from a comfortable, silky material. In addition to his chest window, he’s also got a thigh window. Vere has a very lax and flirtatious design. The only thing that isn’t so flowy is the belt/collar situation he’s got going on with the Senobium. His center or his chest/heart. His collar is straight and symmetrical. It ties him and his nature down.
Tumblr media
Speaking of being tied down, both Kuras and Vere have vambraces on their forearms. Kuras’s is gold while Vere’s is silver. They’re the only characters to have this. I personally interpret them as manacles. Vere’s vambraces are exposed. He sports them as he does with his collar– out in the open without care. He doesn’t advertise that he’s chained down by the Senobium, but he also doesn’t go to extreme lengths to hide it. Yes, he initially hid his leash from MC, but he also let MC figure out that he was affiliated with them. If people found out, they found out. If they knew, then they knew and he’d make sure they’d know how powerful he is too. On the flip side, Kuras’s vambraces are somewhat shrouded by his long sleeves. In every pose and artwork we’ve seen of Kuras, his vambraces are always half-covered. It’s like you know there is something going on, but you don’t know the full story or feel close enough to ask.
Those vambraces could also be representative of how both characters are prisoners in their own ways. Vere is more literal. He was captured and made to be the Senobium’s pet against his will. He’s somewhat resigned to that life, but of course he wants to escape. Kuras is shackled down by his own ideals. He stays in Eridia because he is compelled by his own guilt. In a way, he chains himself down and gives himself his own punishment. Vere is literally shackled. Kuras is figuratively shackled. Vere is a prisoner of the Senobium. Kuras is a prisoner of his ​​culpability.
The last thing I want to mention is that Vere is affiliated with the Senobium while that place is listed on Kuras’s dislikes. There wasn’t an exact reason for his dislike though. For Leander, we can sort of infer the reasons. He’s a mage, possibly an exile, etc. But there’s not much to go off for Kuras’s revulsion. He is also friends with Mhin who happens to like the Senobium. Does Kuras’s dislike for the Senobium have something to do with Vere or is it something else? Their distaste for one another is mutual according to their relationship charts.
Perhaps if Leander, Ais and Mhin are connected through the Triple Goddess symbol, then Kuras and Vere’s routes might be interconnected since they appear to mirror each other. They’re foil characters!!!
Tumblr media
Not just visually but also with their personalities. They’re also marketed with complimentary colors. Colors that are opposites. Kuras is yellow/gold and Vere has purple. I think that means something. Maybe.

Touchstarved as Arcane
I just listen to the Arcane soundtrack a bunch while creating my Touchstarved OCs' backstories and I wanted to ascribe the characters to each song.
"Playground" by Bea Miller = Vere. I love this song for him. Even the vibe fits him.
"Who told you what was down here? Come along if you wanted a peek. I've seen your face around here. Come alone, tell me under the table What do you seek?"
"Welcome to the playground, follow me. Tell me your nightmares and fantasies. Sink into the wasteland underneath. Stay for the night, I'll sell you a dream."
It could also fit Elyon? I don't know anything about him but it feels like this line in particular would fit his character:
"Everybody's got a price 'round here to play. Make me an offer, what will it be?" (there's no dark blue colour on the website so I gave him girlboss pink. I think it's fitting.)
"Goodbye" by Ramsey = Mhin. They're an outsider, which means they had to come from somewhere, right? And they probably had to bid that part of their life goodbye.
"I can hear the sound of a heartbeat before it goes out. Won't ever leave my memory of bloodshed all around."
So many of these songs are just me running free with my assumptions of what their backstories are based on the little info we've got from the demo. Anyway, I imagine that line relating to Mhin losing control of their curse and the death that resulted in it.
"Be still, 'cause I see smoke up ahead and I got steel in my hands. We will return like warriors, I swear, that we'll find glory up ahead."
I just liked the "steel in my hands" line for Mhin because of how we first meet — it's right there. The bloodied blade in their hand.
"Dirty Little Animals" by BONES UK = Ocudeus and the Seaspring groupmind.
"Novocaine, never same, giving local luck But when you go under, you will never go back up."
Also, surprisingly Kuras. Only this part, though:
"Taste what fell from grace Wanna taste what fell from grace? Run away from the faith. Let's race if you want a taste."
There's the part about falling from grace, going against faith, and a bunch of running away which reminds me of that scene with Kuras and MC running from a Senobium cleric.
"Enemy" by Imagine Dragons ft. J.I.D. = Hound!MC (this MC is so Arcane-coded…so many of the songs could fit them). But also Ais, I think I remember something about him mentioning he makes enemies pretty easily (which is hilarious because almost every Touchstarved character likes him), and he seems to think of himself as a black sheep.
"I'm searching to behold the stories that are told When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned. Tell you you're the greatest, But once you turn, they hate us."
"Guns for Hire" by Woodkid = I think this could fit both Ais and Leander. But I feel like the song has different meanings when imagined with each of them. The line about "losing control," for instance.
"Not a good night to lose control Right as the Earth is unraveling."
"Not a good time to lose control Right as your marionettes cut their strings and run away."
When I imagine the song with Ais, it feels like him losing control over himself or his monster form. With Leander, it feels like it's about him losing control over others, maybe his mask chipping away.
And there are just so many parts that could fit them both, but they carry different meanings depending on who you imagine the lyric with.
"Tuck your innocence goodnight. You sold your friends like guns for hire." (still don't know what happened to Ais's gang)
"Resting on a knife, you heavy souls With all this weight buckling down on you now Don't you drown and float away."
"When Everything Went Wrong" by Fantastic Negrito = Ais and his tavern brawls.
"Ninety-nine ways that you're willing to die […] Broken beer bottles that are starting to fly […] Temper start to flare, now they're starting to fume I know my time is coming soon."
But also, when did everything go wrong? How did it go wrong? What happened to Ais's gang? And maybe it happened around the same time Ocudeus did?
"I lay down to die on the concrete floor. Now that's when everything went wrong. The devils coming after me."
"What Could Have Been" by Ramsey = Sen and Alchemist!MC or Unnamed!MC.
"I hope you know we had everything When you broke me and left these pieces. I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and I want you to lose like I lose when I play what could have been." (Eh, fuck it, Sen also gets pink. The DLC LIs are Barbie babes)
"I am the monster you created […] I am your ghost, a fallen angel. You ripped out all my parts."
"And worst of all, for me to live, I gotta kill the part of me that saw That I needed you more […] I couldn't care what invention you made me 'Cause I was meant to be yours."
Again, most of Sen's is just me assuming what her story is, but this is a good angsty Frankenstein's monster type song.
I think it fits Alchemist! and Unnamed!MC more so than the Hound!MC, because they are the two backstories that involved mentor figures or a community moulding them for specific purposes.

Kura again with a VtK ask. So who do you think would make the first move and ask the other out? Cassian? Or the reader?
Cassian seems the type to be relatively straight forward with regards to his feelings. Under normal circumstances, I can see him asking the object of his affections out as soon as he realized his feelings. If he is rejected then he’s rejected, but they might say yes.
However, Cassian’s not exactly in the simplest of situations which could mean he wouldn’t act on his feelings immediately leaving it open for the reader to make the first move…
The reader asking Cassian out, that would be an outcome.
Heh, I feel like I write to much in these asks and take material away from you, but isn’t rambling more fun when more people contribute to the glorious mess of headcanon?
Oh, rambling is definitely way better when more people contribute.😌 It's always a pleasure to read your asks, Kura.
I'm a firm believer that psyker Cassian was one to make any move first. He seemed like a cocky guy in some aspects, being such a renowned psyker also helped when it came to his confidence. However, that Cassian is literally dead.
I agree that Cassian is a straightforward kind of guy. I imagine this would apply when it comes to admitting his feelings to himself. If he is falling for someone, he won't try to deny it. The thing is that he probably doesn't want anyone to get very close to him due to his dangerous lifestyle and his goal of vengance. That's why I believe the reader would be the one to make the first move. It's not because Cassian doesn't want to, or because he doesn't have the guts. He just thinks it would be selfish of him to do so.
This doesn't mean he would reject the reader, though. Quite the contrary, actually. I feel like this Cassian is much more impulsive than the old one. The person who has him in the clouds all day long wants to be with him, how could he say no to that?
There's also the fact that he probably feels quite lonely in this new life of his. Having someone who makes him happy by his side is something he craves.
I think that after the reader makes the first move and asks him out, he'll definitely be the one to make all of the following moves. First kiss, First "I love you." Of course, this depends on the circumstances, but assuming nothing gets in his way, he won't hold himself back from doing what feels right to him.
BUT, I can also see Cassian making the first move under the right circumstances. If he feels like thing are going the way he wants, more stable, happier, he might ask the reader out regardless of his situation. Especially if he's already at a point where he is completely mesmerized by the reader. If he feels like he physically can't wait to be with them, he'll ignore every single voice in his head that tells him to wait a little bit more.
I have to admit that I have a very specific scenario in my head of how the reader and Cassian could get together, and it kind of cancels everything I just said. (Kind of) Let me know if you'd want me to do something small with that.
Thanks for the opportunity to ramble about villain to kill, I always have such a great time. Have a beautiful day ❤️

The One Where Nobi Gets Drunk at 11 in the Morning
Tumblr media
pairing: jungkook x nobi
summary: jungkook and nobi fight and nobi does her routine whenever they have an argument
Returning to the bed after a bathroom break, Jungkook noticed Nobi’s sprawled out form with her phone hovering her face.She had on her glasses and she was wearing one of his sweatshirts that she managed to snag from his closet that morning. 
He picked up the fallen blanket and threw it on top of her, earning him a shriek and a groan.
“Yah! My phone fell on my face!” She whined and rubbed the bridge of her nose.
Jungkook laughed before getting under the covers beside her. “Sorry.”
“What took you so long anyways? Did you drop a bomb in there?” She glared slightly, still soothing the pain but returning back to her phone.
“Hobi-hyung was taking a long time in there!” He defended himself.
Nobi looked at him, confusion in her face. “Kook, you do know we have 4 other bathrooms right?”
“Well, everyone seemed to use it at the same time. It was either that or I go outside and take a piss in front of all the neighbors to see.”
Nodding, Nobi returned to scrolling through a webtoon. He propped himself against the headboard before grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, flipping through all the channels and sighing when he found nothing to watch.
“I want to play a game but Tae-hyung and Jimin-hyung are playing,” he whined. 
“Well, if it makes you feel any better, Jin-hyung ate my leftovers for breakfast today.”
He huffed and just settled on an anime on TV. As she read new chapter, Sakura stopped at a certain column of her webtoon and looked up to see Jungkook’s frustrated expression.
“Jungkook-ah, should we get our own apartment?” Her question made Jungkook chortle and look down at her.
Trying to find out if she was kidding, he found nothing but seriousness. “What?”
She rolled over so she laid on top of him and shoved her phone at his face. “The main character and his best friend just got a place on their own since their dorm was full of inconvenience like bathrooms and stuff. WE could do the same thing! Let’s try and stay in budget so let’s look at a few cheaper apartments and we’re used to sharing a bed anyways so we only need one bedroom. We could decorate-”
He placed a hand against her mouth. “Kura-yah, calm down.”
Nobi raised her eyebrow and swatted his hand off. “Why? You don’t like it?”
Jungkook was quick to deny. “No! I mean-yes! But no!” The girl gave him a look causing him to sigh. “Kura-yah, they’re both male. They could move in together without raising any questions. But you and I, we’re opposite genders. Not to mention, we’re idols. You know how people are, they assume stuff. It’s too risky, bub.”
“But they know there’s nothing like that happening between us and I’ve expressed my interest in continuing to live with you in the future. It shouldn’t be a surprise, right?” Her expression made Jungkook close his eyes and turn to look at the door.
“I know but they know we’re just kidding. We both know we don’t actually want to live together forever since we’re going to go on our separate ways someday. This is just a heat of the moment thing, bub. Our future is going to be totally different and I don’t want you to be dependent on me forever. You’re going to have your own family and I’m going to have mine. It’s just not going to work out, Nobi.” He tried to reason but regretted it once he saw her face fall.
Nobi looked down, lips etched into a frown. “Oh. Oh, okay,” she mumbled before rolling back and getting up from the bed.
“Wait, Kura, where are you going?” He asked, also sitting up and grabbed her arm.
She flicked his hand off and stood up to walk towards their shared closet and coming out with her shoes.
He scrambled to the floor and blocked the door with his hand. “Where are you going?”
“Move.”
Her tone made him sigh quietly. “Kura, you’re not actually mad, right? Come on, don’t leave.”
She raised her head and glared at him. “I’m not mad, Jungkook. I just feel suffocated and I want to get out of here.”
Knowing there was no way she was going to back down, he moved and let her open the door. She walked out and down the hallway with Jungkook following her like a puppy. Even helping her by grabbing her coat, he opened it so she could just put her arms in. But she snatched it from his hands and turned to open the front door.
“I’ll be out!” She yelled and slammed it shut.
Taehyung poked his head out from the living room to the hallway with the front door and Jimin joined him from the kitchen, eating and holding a chip bag. The youngest ran a hand over his face before turning to walk back to the room and passing by his older members
“Hm, lover’s quarrel?” Tae teased. Jimin giggled but stopped when Jungkook turned to glare at him.
“Piss off,” he muttered but Taehyung heard it clearly.
His eyes became wide, offended and slightly upset by him. “Yah! That’s rude!”
Jimin sent him an apologetic glance and walked over to Jungkook to place a hand on his shoulder. “Want to talk about it?”
“No need. Sakura is just being childish.”
The two 95-liners looked at each other and knew he was upset by how he said Nobi’s real name. “Come sit down on the couch. Maybe we can help.” Tae nodded and moved to clear the controllers on the couch.
....
“Ah, so she wants to get an apartment with you but you turned her down?” Tae asked to clarify.
Jungkook nodded. “I don’t know why she got so upset though. It’s not the first time I’ve said no to her ideas.”
“How exactly did you refuse? What did you say?” Jimin looked at him suspiciously.
“Yea. It must’ve been what you said.”
“I just told her that we’re going our separate ways someday and we’re not going to be together forever. So it’s pointless,” Jungkook recalled.
Taehyung and Jimin looked at each other, not believing how dense Jungkook was. 
“Yah, you’re so rude. That’s your problem,” Tae grimaced.
“I think you offended Nobi, Kook. You basically told her that you don’t see her in your future and once we’re done with being BTS, you’re not going to be involved with her anymore.”Jimin explained to the oblivious boy and shaking his head when Jungkook still looked confused.
“I’m just saying that we’re not going to be together forever and it’s true!” Jungkook defended himself but Taehyung moved closer, hitting his arm.
“Yeah, that’ll happen but you’re voluntarily saying you don’t want to be around her anymore. She probably thinks you’d get sick of her.”
Jimin nodded along, “You know how Nobi is. She’s closest to you and she wants to be around you constantly. It’s like rejecting her and it probably really hurt her.”
Jungkook groaned and leaned his head back, “AH, she brought up the idea in the first place.”
“And now she’s mad at you.” JImin pointed out. “This isn’t the first time you fought and we all know a single apology from you will fix it.”
Jungkook gave in and nodded, moving to the bedroom to wait for her to come home.
....
Walking to a convenience store, Nobi entered through the doors and went straight for the ramen section. It took her a few minutes to decide which flavor she wanted as she was too distracted to even figure out what sounded good to her at the moment. Eventually, she decided on the spicy beef flavor and grabbed some kimbap before moving over to the soju section. Her mind was debating whether or not she should drink out in broad daylight for everyone to see. But she was hurt from what he said and although she tries not to get too sensitive about it, she couldn’t help but think about the times other people left her once they got tired of her. Not even with just one, but 2 bottles of soju was what she was thirsty for.
“That’ll be 13,500 won,” the cashier totalled. She grabbed a bill and left quickly, not even bothering to get her change.
Slurps and sounds of content filled the empty space around her. Thinking because of how secluded the neighborhood was, there wasn’t a lot of people wandering around and noticing an idol drinking soju at 11 in the morning.
“Toughen up, Sakura. You’re an Asami and you shouldn’t be that bothered by it,” she slurred. Half-way through her second bottle already, she decided she should go home. There was practice scheduled for 3 at the afternoon and even drinking 1 bottle was a mistake.
“Ugh,” she groaned as she stood up. Finishing even 1 bottle is enough to get her tipsy. What was she thinking trying to drink 2? The alcohol started to fog up her mind and she began walking in a direction with an unknown destination.
It must’ve been an amusing sight for the neighboring houses to see a figure wearing a long black coat, staggering up the hilly road and maneuvering herself around other people who were taking walks. Thankfully, the mask and beanie she wore was enough to cover her identity from the eyes of others. 
What a field day reporters and Dispatch would have if they found out their precious girl BTS member was out drinking in the morning.
Blasphemy!
Beyond tipsy and crazy drunk, Nobi blinked a few times, forgetting the passcode to the house. Even patting herself, she couldn’t find her keys and had no way to get in. Sighing heavily, she pounded against the door, trying her best to make it sound loud enough for the members but actually so faint due to her lack of muscle.
“YAH! OPEN UP!” Hearing no movement from inside, she pounded again, grimacing at the discomfort from her stomach. “BANGTAN! OPEN! LET ME IN!”
Jin, who was chopping some carrots, jumped when he heard yells from outside and the sound of the door being beaten down. The voice sounded familiar and he waited for a second at it grew silent. Hearing more yells, he took off the apron and went to look at the monitor. There, he saw his girl member.
He knew about what happened as Jimin and Taehyung went straight to him to ask what to do. 
“Hyung, we don’t know where Nobi went to. Her and Kook had a fight and she left and we don’t know where she is,” Taehyung said.
Jin looked up from his DS, already used to the fight between the 2 youngest. “It’s okay. Nobi always come home and if she’s not home in a few hours, we can look for her. It’s the same tango, boys. She leaves, gets drunk, then comes home. We just gotta wait.”
Nodding and slightly impressed at his ability to guess, Jin went back to the kitchen and put his apron on before shouting, “JUNGKOOK! KURA’S AT THE DOOR!”
There was scrambling from down the hallway and out came Jungkook, disheveled with his hair sticking out to different directions. He was dressed in a typical white shirt with black sweatpants and face puffy after waking up from a nap.
“Go get your girl before I chop her up for getting drunk first thing in the morning,” JIn threatened, not taking his eyes off his chopping the carrots.
Jungkook nodded, rushing straight to the door. He turned off the locks and swung it open, just for Nobi to stumble towards his arms. She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face to his chest.
“Kura, you okay?” He quietly asked, placing a hand at the back of her head.
She looked up to him, a soft smile on her face. “Hi Koo.”
“Up,” he signalled for her hop on his arms and she wrapped her legs around his waist and arms around his neck. Using his feet, he kicked the door close and walked down the hallway to find Taehyung and Jimin standing by the kitchen island.
“Hm, she’s drunk again?” Tae asked, capping his water bottle.
“Yeah. I’ll take her to bed, try and get her some sleep before practice.”
“She’s going to regret drinking when she wakes up later,” Jimin warned the younger at Nobi’s future tantrum.
“Hyung, can you get some medicine for her while I go tuck her in?” Jungkook asked Jin who sighed before putting the knife down.
“Koo Koo, where are we going~? To your bed~? I like your bed the most~? Don’t tell Jimin though~!” Nobi hushed him loudly, not knowing that Jimin was right behind her.
“Honestly, you raise them to be good kids and the moment she turns legal, she goes drinking in the morning. Was all my hard work to waste?” Jin angrily mumbles while grabbing a glass of water causing Taehyung to laugh out loud.
“Get her to bed, Kook. She needs all the sleep she can get.”
Huffing gratefully that he has finally arrived, Jungkook crawled over to her bed and took off her limbs from him. Grabbing a pillow from behind her, Nobi sniffed and whined at the unwanted smell.
“Koo Koo. This doesn’t smell like Kook. I want Kook,” She drunkenly mumbled.
Kook giggled and smiled before going over to her and prying the pillow from her. “Kook’s right here, bub.”
He laid down beside her and wrapped an arm around her but she pushed him away, lazily blinking in surprise. “You’re not Kook.”
He smiled, amused. “I’m not?”
“You know, Kook? Jungkook? He’s a coconut and smells nice. Pretty tall and really pretty,” she described. “You’re not him. I’d know if you were.”
Thinking she was cute, he decided to go along. “Oh yeah? Is he a friend of yours?”
Nodding enthusiastically, she responded, “He’s my BEST FRIEND.” Then a pout made its way on her face. “But he’s a butt head and a meanie.”
Frowning at her response, Jungkook pressed on. “Why are you calling him that? Did he do something to you? Is that why you’re like this, bub?”
Suddenly, tears welled up her eyes and she sniffled. “He wants to leave me, stranger. When we’re done playing, he’s going to leave me. I don’t want him to leave me. Will you leave me too, stranger?” 
Her eyes made something stir inside Jungkook. He looked down to look at her and he pulled her in for a hug. “No, I won’t leave you. Ever.”
Once again, burying her face in his chest, she sighed contently. “I smell Koo.” Then she looked up to his face. “Hi, Koo.”
Looking down at her softly, he wiped a few stray hairs off her face. “Hi, bub.”
“I’m tired, Koo. Stay with me,” she begged as she snuggled further into his chest. He nodded, patting her head softly and humming Converse High until he heard her snores.
“Not right now, bub. But definitely in the future. We’ll get a dog and maybe some ceiling to floor windows. Do you like bohemian theme? I’ll have plants all over the house. Maybe Gardenias or Acacias. We’ll do it all when the time comes,” he promised before hugging her closer and drifting off to sleep.
is it too much for a first scenario?

Meeting again.
I had this idea and wrote it down, just in case I don't forget it. Initially thought to turn it into fanfiction book but don't think it will happen any time soon. So anyway here is a little bit of background.
Reader is a hunter and a friend of Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Kurapika, whom she met at the Hunter exam. She originally belonged to the Meteor City and was friend of Chrollo and the others but never a member of the Phantom. Her younger sisters where were sold by some gang who were involved in human trafficking and she became a hunter to track them down and find her sisters. She loves Kurapika and he finally said that he loved her back (this happened during the Massacre in the Yorknew.)
Nsfw (all characters are 18+)
"Yn?"
You gave him a meek smile. It had been a week since you had left Yorknew City. Gon and Killua were in Greed Island, trying to find any clues related to Gon's dad. How they got *into* the game is what confused you the most but knowing the mysterious ways of nen, you didn't strike that out of possibilities. Leorio went back to continue his medical school and Kurapika went back to the Nostrade Family as their head bodyguard, leaving you alone to your devices. Seeing how everyone went back to their own business, prompted you to do the same as well. You collected all the lists of people who dealed with human trafficking, selling, buying, third party to the deals, everyone. While searching the underground you found a clue related to the buyer of your sister which led to where you are now.
"What are you doing here?" Kurapika clearly didn't expect you to show up. But to his surprise, he felt happy and something that he thought felt like nausea.
"I found a clue. Does Vonn Schmidt ring any bell to you?"
Sure, your original intention of coming here was to ask about your sister's buyer but you would be lying to herself if you said that it wasn't an excuse just see him again. The way you left things at Yorknew was eating away at you. Kurapika had finally said that he felt the same way you do and your happiness knew no bounds. If anyone knew Kurapika well then they know that the blonde is a closed book. He mostly keeps to himself and never really shares how he truly feels and yet that same boy, confessed to you. It happened in a quiet place, away from your friends. Kurapika had asked you to meet him alone and the he finally let it off his chest. It was difficult for him, you could see it. His fists were closed, he was breathless and he spoke way too fast to comprehend if you hadn't paying attention to him as if your life depended on it. This was very unlike him. The thought of losing you to the Phantom Troupe as well was too much for him. Seeing you getting so close to dying, opened his eyes on what he had been missing and that it was right in front of him. Luckily you were unharmed from all the massacre that had happened in the city in those few days and it was like life had given him a second chance at correcting it. He knew he had to say it before he goes crazy from keeping it suppressed in his heart. He didn't want to die knowing that you still thought that he didn't think you were worthy of him. Infact, it was completely opposite, he didn't deserved you. All those times in hunter exam and the auction, you were always by his side, fighting for him, caring for him, while he selfishly ignored all of it for his goal.
"Yes, he is very well known in the underworld. Drugs, weapons, ivory, gold and hu—" He stopped himself. He knew now why you are here. "Is he the one who sold Ira?"
You nodded.
"Want me to ask Boss about his whereabouts?" He said frantically.
Before you could reply, Kurapika was already heading towards the door.
"Kura!" You took hold of his arm to stop him. "Let's do that later. Besides, I already have enough information to track him. But for now, let's just be together."
Kurapika's eyes never left your face, as you moved towards him, closer. Closer, until your feet were touching each other's, yet not close enough for you both. You were heavy breathing now. You wanted more. All of him. You were incredibly aroused. You stood on your toes, your arms wrapping around his neck. Your lips and his lips aligned. You had your mouth slightly parted. The warm breath of yours landing on his lips. A single tip of your head and you would have his lips in yours. But you didn't want to rush it. You knew this whole thing was new for Kurapika, you didn't want to put him in an uncomfortable position and make him do something he didn't want to. You just stayed there. Tantalizing him.
Kurapika could feel your breath. All he could see was your lips. The way they were parted and the little creases on them. They looked pillowy and soft. He didn't know what was happening to him. His heartbeats have increased and he suddenly found it hard to breathe. There was this weird feeling somewhere near his stomach which he couldn't describe. It felt like his body needed something, it craved and was really desperate for it. But he didn't know what 'it' was. This has never happened to him before. The feeling intensified the longer he stared at you. Something deep in him was stirring or coiling, he couldn't make it out but there was yearning. Yearning to take your lips in his.
Finally after a long, and agonizing moment, Kurapika finally took your bottom lip in his. Instincts told him to suck on it and he did. It surprised you but you complied. The kiss was gentle at first, both of you filled with uncertainty and awkwardness. However, it soon got heated once you started to take a little bit control. You now moved your arms to the back of his head and entangled your fingers in his hairs pulling him in more. Kurapika oddly loved this gesture. Even when you were flushed against each other he still wanted to pull you in further, as if to engulf you. His hands were staying idle at his side, not knowing what to do with them. Should he do the same? Sensing his predicament, you let go of his hair and wrapped his arms around your waist and moved in closer. Kurapika's eyes widened.
"Is this okay?" He asked breathless. His hand instinctively pulled your hips towards him. You nodded and pulled him into another kiss. Unconsciously, Kurapika was grinding slowly on you. Taken aback, a moan escaped from your lips. Kurapika had never heard any sound like that before. And never had any sound given him so much pleasure, making his body react in this weird way. The sound further twisted the coil in kurapika's stomach and he felt tightness in his pants.
What? What is this? Is this arousal?
You could feel it on your right thigh, it was very hard. The grinding was even more noticeable now. You smiled into the kiss. Knowing him, he probably didn't know what to do with a raging hard boner. Slowly you moved your lips to his neck, sucking on the delicate skin. Kurapika's breathing hitched and he bucked his hips towards you. "Wh..what?" He asked has you continued the to give him the tingling sensation. Confused as ever about his body and this whole situation, his neck jerked away from the assault when he felt your teeth on his skin. You had bit him. It was more like nibling, but the gesture nevertheless surprising. Was this a normal thing to do?
You didn't know what came over you. Biting was not your thing. However, something about him and his soft, skin,..... You were extremely aroused. You wanted him closer, wanted your lips on his body. Your arms pulled him closer again and pecked the bite mark. Kurapika visibly shuddered. Your lips then slowly travelled down to his collarbone. Giving a peck there too and you soon got down on your knees.
It was like slow motion for him. How can someone make getting down on their knees look so sexy. The way your hips jutted out when your knees bent, your hands travelled from his neck over his clothes, his body, finally landing on the waist of his suit pants. Confused, he looked at you. You had your eyebrows raised. Realization hit him, he understood what you wanted to do. Suddenly very body conscious, Kurapika turned red in his face. He looked away, not knowing what to say. Being a very shy person, Kurapika had never been naked in front of anyone, not even the boys. He always made sure to get dressed in the bathroom itself if anyone was in the room. And now, you of all people, wanted to pull down his pants. Was he ready?
He was about to say no, when he looked into your eyes again. They held no obligation in them, rather they were asking permission. He couldn't see any judgement in your eyes, no expectations. He could only see admiration and love. He felt safe, and couldn't deny you. His body was aroused to the extent where it pained him and he wanted a release. Slowly, he gave you nod. You smiled brightly, quickly unbuttoning his pants. You wouldn't have mind either answer, but you were happy that he trusted you enough to give in. You unzipped his pants and pulled them down to his ankles along with his underwear. His cock sprang up, very hard and red. Kurapika had closed his eyes, feeling very vulnerable at the moment. You delicately took it in your hand. You contemplated whether to just jerk him off or to blow him. You looked up at him, looking for an answer when you found him shyly looking away with eyes closed. You knew what you should do. Never taking your eyes off his face, you slowly took his cock in your mouth.
Feeling the weird feeling around his member, Kurapika opened his eyes to find you looking up at him with his member in your mouth. A shiver ran down through his back and his member jerked, still enclosed in the warmth of your lips.
You moved your head out till only it's head remained in and slowly ran your tongue around the head, and pressing against the slit. Despite himself, Kurapika let out a moan. You smirked, and took his cock in again, making him groan again. You bobbed your head up and down, and Kurapika couldn't believe the sensations he felt. The coil in his stomach was upto its limit. He wanted more. His body shifted to its primal instincts and he thrusted into your mouth, hitting the back of your throat. You gagged, not really expecting it. Kurapika stopped for a moment, worried he hurt you. You shook your head and increased the speed. Kurapika moved his hand to put on your head but stopped midway. No, I shouldn't do this, it's not how a gentleman behaves.
The action didn't go unnoticed by you. You grabbed his hand and put it behind your head, going down further on his cock. You nodded, saying it was okay. You cannot help but smile at him, his innocence and shyness was adorable. You continued going down at him, now at a faster speed, both of your arousal now at peak. Kurapika's hand pulling you in further down, and timing his thrusts with yours. His cock going further in your mouth. Your saliva running down your chin and his cock.
Kurapika was not in control of his actions anymore, he was a moaning mess. His hands fisted in your hair, pulling your head further, and his hips thrusting at a faster speed, desperate for a release. He could not believe at his own body's wantonness. Never in his life, he had imagined to act such crudely but then you always had that sort of effect on him. You make him act despite himself and he was grateful for that. If it weren't for that, he probably would have never confessed to you and you both wouldn't be here sharing such an intimate moment. He looked down at you, seeing your lust filled eyes, he found you exceptionally attractive at the moment. Suddenly, his knees buckled and a rope of cum shot from his cock and into your mouth. Horrified by his lewd action, Kurapika tried to pull out but you stopped him. You held him in place by his hips, as he shot ropes of cum in your mouth, all the while groaning loudly finally finding the release he craved. The orgasm was so intense that his knees felt weak and his used to your shoulders to balance himself.
After his orgasm subsided, and his cock stopped shooting cum, you removed it from your mouth and smiled up at him. He looked spent. You removed his pants from his ankles and led him to his bed by his hand.
Kurapika again felt conscious of his body now that his body wasn't aroused anymore but he didn't say anything. He let you control him and walked towards the bed. He got under the sheets, covering his member while you stayed on top of them, still fully clothed. Then it hit him, he hadn't done anything for you.
"(Yn), lie down. I don't know if I will be good at this, but I want to try. I want make you feel the same—" Your laugh cut him off.
"This isn't a quid pro quo, Kurapika. I did it because I wanted to."
"But.." You shushed him with your finger.
"You can do that maybe next time." You paused for a moment. "There will be a next time right?"
Your voice was full of doubt and Kurapika was surprised to hear it. He loved you, completely. Nothing is ever going to change that. But he cannot say that there will be a next time. He still had to find his revenge, and you had to find your siblings. He didn't know what fate had planned but he knew what he wanted. "I can't say that for sure but I would like it, if it were to happen again."
Your heart surged with happiness and you kissed him on his cheek. You cannot not love this man, he was the best thing happened to you. You were rested on your side, facing him with your head rested on your palm with the support of your elbow. Your eyes roamed his face, looking at the little details while he stared up at the ceiling regaining his breath.
"I wanted to ask you something," Kurapika started, grabbing your attention. "How did you know how to do that? Have you ever...done that with someone else before?" He looked into your eyes, making you understand what he was implying. He was nervous, hoping your answer would be no.
You shook your head, no. " Chrollo and I have kissed once but nothing more than that."
Kurapika visibly relaxed after hearing that. He was little bit jealous knowing that man had kissed you first but he felt happy that he was your first for tonight and hopefully will be your first for other things too. What? Where did that come from? But he let go of that thought when he felt you playing with his hair. Kurapika found it very relaxing and his body shifted a little towards your touch. He was enjoying the moment when another thought crossed his mind.
"Do you think Leorio know how to do what we have done today?"
"You mean the blow job?"
"Is that what's it called?"
You nodded. " I mean, he might know the technicalities. Even for sex. And knowing Leorio he probably had his first orgasm by 14..." Kurapika looked a little bit annoyed for the fact that Leorio knew something that he didn't. "...but I don't think he has ever done anything with a girl."
Your answer made Kurapika smirk, happy that he had one upped Leorio once again.
"God, you both are so competitive, seriously!" You smacked his shoulders, as you laughed at his childishness. Kurapika didn't say anything and slowly started to doze off, content with all that transpired tonight and with the knowledge that he was one step ahead of Leorio once again.

Iruma-kun 13 - 14 | Somali 1 | Magia Record 1 | BnHA 75 | Eizouken 1 | Idolish7 s2 1
New season...incoming!
Iruma-kun 13
How did Iruma even notice that collar? Geesh, that kid is perceptive…
This “spitting blood” joke is getting old already…
*Kiriwo starts his machine* - Why do I get the feeling something bad’s about to happen…?
Could you possibly call this “rank is the most important thing” a study of class consciousness, to throw some of Anime Feminist’s words? Or maybe this is a fantasy version of technology and it’s extolling the virtues of technology advancement?! *eyes sparkle*
Can Iruma join Kiriwo already? Please?!
Aw, dear darling! (<- I’m not sure if I’ve said that a lot in these notes, but I say that when I get the warm fuzzies and wanna protect a character…basically, platonic love, I guess…? Oh, “moe instinct” - that’s the words I’m looking for.) Iruma, go and live your best life, okay?
Thank you, story! Even though I knew it was being foreshadowed so heavily by being the focus of basically 24 minutes of this show’s runtime (= about 1 ep), I thank you from the bottom of my heart that Iruma went to the right Battler.
Wait, so Ameri is actually Iruma’s senpai by one year?! Hmm? I never realised that and I read some spoilers!
I like this new chibi animation style! Yay!
I never noticed this until now, but Kiriwo has one big horn and one little one.
I think the title, aside from the pronunciation of “Thirteen Dinner”, is meant to mean “The Thirteen Counts’ Gathering” (or some other high rank) or something of the sort. Update: So I checked and the character used, kanmuri/kan, is used to mean “crown” or someone who wears a crown, i.e. a peerless person, so it would be appropriate to translate that using the term for a high rank which is presumably going to be stated in the segment itself.
Turns out Babel…is just makaitou (the demon world tower). I don’t think it’s really Babylonian in any strict sense.
Depending on where you live, the 665th floor could count as the 666th or…well, the 665th. I know in Japanese, the word for the floor on the ground is ikkai (first floor)…I’m not going to tell you what I know it as though…that would reveal my location outside cyberspace, no?
According to the katakana, the guy’s name is Beruzebyuto (hence the translation as “Beelzebuth”). Beelzebub is the Lord of the Flies and a quick google tells me Beelzebul (close enough) was apparently an alternate spelling for him (or something like that…?). Patron demon of gluttony.
Astaroth, also a demon (king of rot, I think it was from Blue Exorcist)…interestingly, Beelzebub, Lucifer and Astaroth make up an unholy trio and all of them were referred to by a dude called...Solomon (which does kinda sound like “Sullivan”, if you think about it). There’s the connection between these guys…I like his top, too.
Asmodeus, patron demon of lust. We already knew that demon was represented through Azz-Azz, but now you see a spoiler I’ve been hiding for a while – Azz’s mother.
Amaimon…uh, I don’t remember what kind of demon he is in the demonic canon but I know him from Blue Exorcist.
Behemoth…?
Ooh, Ameri’s father is smokin’ hot! (Dangit, I do not want DILFs…) Azazel, a fallen angel and apparently personification of uncleanliness(…?)
Belial and (Lady) Leviathan, which we already knew existed from initial namedrops.
Who’s Baal? Even I have no idea…Update: Apparently he’s a Middle Eastern equivalent to Zeus, which explains his thunder allegiance.
Paimon kinda looks like Chaika, LOL.
LOL, “lifehack” is certainly the right word for it, Sullivan.
LOL, Belial is so short!
Although it’s kind of awkward to not see Lady Levi take a position of power for herself, it’s nice to see she has spirit!
Aw, this is cute. In much the same way I wanted Iruma to join the magical apparatus Battler, I want Sullivan to be Demon King.
Is Opera perhaps related to Ameri somehow…?
Somali 1
I was hoping to get to Plunderer, but got carried away writing another post and then lost the ability to watch both episode 1 and 2 ahead of schedule. So Somali is the new start of the season, but the last relic of the fact Plunderer was meant to start my season (outside ID: Invaded’s advance premiere) is the visual I have for this season. (Oh yeah, one of the reasons I’m supporting this – aside from it being a mid-ranker on my hype list – is that I heard a French animator, a friend of Thomas Romain, is getting his big start here.)  
“Dad.” – Oh, f***. I have myself an Usagi Drop. I knew I was going to get something of the sort going into this show, but…Usagi Drop’s experiences (or rather, watching the anime knowing the manga has that ending) have left their mark. Not to mention Somali (as this girl will come to be known) has Latina eyes, which annoys me even more since I dropped that on the basis of being scarred by Usagi Drop.
I’m wondering what Crunchyroll was thinking when they decided to coproduce this – sure, it’s probably quite cute and wholesome, but I’m far from the target audience. Did they think, “Is this what Western audiences will like?” Sure, it would hit a niche that likes this surrogate father/daughter stuff, but I don’t think it’s for me (and I’ve been thinking that all through the OP). I’ll give it a bit more to wow me, but it’s doing pretty terrible so far (because note all other anime of this particular reputation I’m more on the “neutral” side than the “like” one). Somali’s voice is probably the biggest factor – it sounds like an adult woman’s voice got pitch-shifted to attempt to be a child, rather than an actual child.
How can this golem talk about sight when he doesn’t even have eyes??? (Kinda like Juzo from NGL.)
Alright, that’s it. I can see when you’re trying to bait me with supposedly “cute” children, show. You’re gone.
Okay, since I have time and the reviews say otherwise, I’m trying again. I don’t expect to be sold to this though…
Was it just me or was there a reduced frame rate when Somali’s cape was the only thing in the frame…?
For some reason the subbers put “Why?” when the word was actually “What?”, which is a bit silly to be honest with you. (Nande?/Doushite? vs. Nani?...it’s kind of similar-sounding, but the sound is distinctly different.)
Still dropping this show. I just have another episode to add to my list now.
Magia Record 1
I heard there’s no Urobutcher this time around, but the first time I encountered the Urobutcher (in ConRevo) he made a particularly weird-feeling (in the context of the show) episode, so…uh…let’s say the Urobutcher is only as good as the material he writes, and leave it at that. Anyways, this topped my list – even before ID: Invaded came to hunt down that top position – so this better be good.
Um, am I just imagining it, or is that Sayaka and Hitomi discussing magical girls (or Madoka?) over the top of Iroha (I know that’s her name already from the synopses floating around the ‘net) and her fellow magical girls fighting?
Letterboxing? Now there’s something I thought I’d never see in Madoka Magica, ever.
One of the books was on organic recipes.
The teacher talks a tad too fast – I can understand what she’s saying, but it’s like she operates on x1.5 speed compared to the x1 speed of everything else…
“Nakama – because we can do it” – I wonder if that will mean something later…? In Madoka Magica, strange details always mean something.
“The only good witch is a dead one!” “Speech is silver, silence is golden.”– The tiny English isn’t particularly subtle, is it?
Uwasa = rumour.
Takarazaki, huh? I’ll make a note of that.
Who’s Ui?
According to the credits, I assume the blue spear girl is Nanami Yachiyo.
This is a respectable re-entry into a universe which I left not too long ago (in 2017). I’m definitely going to be able to stick with it for a season or however long it lasts.
BnHA 75
All this talk about a database…reminds me of the Quirk I designed for the wiki (also called “Database”). I conceived it in 2015, but I don’t remember who was meant to use it before I retrofitted it to fit the BnHA universe. Update: Welp, I found the document. The superpower Database (which was retrofitted to be a Quirk) is for one Itsuki Hatano.
“One blow to the top of the head!”
Iruma-kun 14
(Note: Some notes may be missing because I was busy multitasking while watching this episode.)
Go, Iruma! Live your best life!
Note “speak of the devil” isn’t how it’s said in Japanese. It sounds something like “whisper a rumour and it will come back to you” based on what I heard Kiriwo say (since I heard the word uwasa in there). Update: Apparently the phrase is uwasa wo sureba… (if you spead a rumour…) and then you cut the saying off to finish the rest of the sentence, just like you would in English.
You can’t even see a substantial part of Iruma’s hair when that demon on the phone (<-I know who it is, because I read spoilers, but I’ll keep quiet on that front!) yells for the first time.  
Makura (demon pillow) has that demon pun going on.
Ooh, Kiriwo-senpai is actully kinda sexy with his hair up like that…not that I know the first thing about sex appeal…
So is the ED about the Battler Party, in a sense?
Eizouken 1
I picked this show up because of the rave reviews it was getting.
Very Future Boy Conan, that.
…what? That OP was trippy. Then again, I didn’t mind ConRevo and that was trippy…this negative feeling is probably because I don’t know much about Masaki Yuasa’s quirks, I guess.
Why do people not translate “Eizouken”???? It means “video research club”.
The back is a good spot to sit in a theatre for anime. Why do I know this? I sit in the back of my anime club all the time, that’s why!
“Are those MiBs?” – I laughed pretty hard at that one sentence.
Why does this strawberry milk seem to be a parallel to the milk Asakusa promised Kanamori? (P.S. Asakusa is in Tokyo, IIRC.) Update: Mizusaki means “on top of water” if I understood the kanji right and Kanamori, with the right combo of characters, can mean “forest of gold”...which makes a lot of sense, considering how gold is equated with wealth and currency. Also, here’s proof Asakusa is in Tokyo...not to mention it’s the place from Sarazanmai! Meanwhile, I was thinking there was some sort of anime-related significance to the name, but I was thinking of Asagaya.  Update 2: Mizusaki actually means “water peninsula”. Sorry, wrong saki.
I know there’s a chase scene at the end of this ep, thanks to reading reviews. I want to be wowed by it, which is why I’m (metaphorically) holding my breath.
I like how Asakusa and Mizusaki are bouncing around ideas. That really brings the process to life.
Long skirts and wind but no sexualisation. That’s a good sign!
Whoa, that scene with the comets was AWESOME! I want more!
Idolish7 s2 1
Back with some good boys one season too early…let’s have some fun while these simulcasters can get this stuff fast!
Oh no! (<- self-censored) Nagi’s stupid accent is back! *yells incoherently for a second*
I like the little sound effects that happened whe Nagi’s finger moved around (to suggest “magic”).
I think the joke was something to do with the word gera (?). I don’t quite get it myself.
Misuta- Shimooka, LOL. I love how this s2 isn’t doing any hand-holding, though! I half-expect a flashback to appear and it never does.
Yamato, how are you so-*crying and Yatta! can be heard in the background*Okay, nevvvvvvvvvver mind…
I remember mistakenly saying that Nishiyama was part of Idolish7 (since I looked through some of my old notes lately). Nishiyama is part of ZOOL, so now…I’m not wrong anymore…(That’s not quite relevant to the random announcement of Re:Vale showing up, but it’s on my mind now.)
Hmm…Yamato’s thoughts on Re:Vale…I’ll keep an eye on him.
I think people like Tamaki because he treats them like he would his little sister…a true gentleman. Or maybe that’s all in my head? I haven’t been in the fandom properly, y’know.
This switch to occasional chibi antics…I’m not sure I like it…
Ohmyglob! Another boy to add to my growing list of husbandos! *points at Yuki* I knew he existed, but I haven’t had a proper chance to have a reaction to him ever since I started really “having a thing” for long-haired guys.
Re:Vale are like a comic act (manzai).
Momo has pink nail polish…I just noticed. Update: It’s probably more red than pink.
“Chan-momo” appears to be a variety of modern slang similar to Pig Latin. Apparently Gen from Dr Stone uses it as well.
Yuki has these cute little diamond earrings and Momo has studs. I’ve also never noticed this until now. (I, myself, can’t wear anything past clip-ons because I have a genetic quirk that makes it annoying to get my ears pierced, called beta thalassemia, so I can only fangirl about other people’s earrings.)
What’s the FSC again…?
Kyu-to aidoru!
I think Momo and Yuki are going to reach out to Mitsuki and Tamaki (respectively) most this season…just a feeling, based on their dispositions. Tamaki and Yuki have similar faces, on top of that, so thank goodness we can tell them apart by hairstyle.
Yuki wears this steel blue shade of nail polish…ooh, also cute.
*Riku goes stiff-faced* - *audibly facepalms at Riku’s reaction*
Momo has a black and green earring set on one ear…huh.
Ooh, very nice. It’s a keeper.
Update: Apparently, you pronounce their name “Re:ba-re”, which is a bit different to what I was expecting (essentially “Re: veil”).

Nightmare For regular Para. Some how, in their Yandere State, they end up hurting Sakura, badly, and she becomes afraid of them, even after it's warn off. She's clearly terrified of them, but stick stays around them for fear of them getting hurt, or maybe it's her dependency thing. Nothing they can do can get her to stop being afraid, and all she can do is stay around them despite this fear she has, meekly agreeing to anything they say (unless it calls harm to themself)
Para couldn’t keep their personal promise to themself, no matter how hard they tried. Their love had tried to escape again, and instead of turning the blade onto themself, they found themself lunging at Sakura, dragging her into the bedroom. She needs to learn who she belongs to.
The yandere pinned her down, taking the box cutter to her flesh and carving their initials in hearts over and over again into her skin, grinning widely at her screams of pain. Afterwards, they cleaned her up and kissed her wounds all better, never letting her out of their sight again…up until…the time limit was finally up.
No matter what they said or what they did, Sakura was still scared of them. Sure, she still wanted to stay with them, but…it wasn’t the same. Oh, how Para hates that look of terror in their eyes. This is all their fault. Why did they have to be so weak?! Why did they let that Anomaly take all that control?! Why?! Why?! …Why can’t things go back to the way they were…?
Para lets out a gasp, coughing and wheezing in pain. Oh, everything hurts… What…What happened? “S…Sa…kura…” they sob, twitching as they call out for the one they love most. “Sa…kura…”
Nearby, Insanity watches intently, petting the Romantic Love Anomaly, which is beginning to rouse, sluggishly moving to get back to Para. The reaper just takes the snake-like magic over there, allowing it to wiggle back inside their body…however…
Insanity lets out a low chuckle, before cupping their palms together, a large, shadowy insect-like bug rising from their hands. “Now, now…how long has it been since you were sick, Para?” The dimension jumper doesn’t seem to hear or notice the reaper as they place the Bothersome Bug down next to them, before letting it consume one of their Illnesses, a very dark orb with a vibrant pink pulsating deep within. The insect-thing crawls over Para, sitting on their chest, waiting, the only one being able to see it being Insanity, who laughs once more, before disappearing. “See you soon~!”

A, B!!!, J, L, N, P, Q, R, S, T, Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLS TELL oof i love ur writing!!
OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN THANKS EMY!!!
aaaaa you love my writing? i’m so happy to hear that
A: Your current OTP.
HAMAHAYA. HAMAHAYA BIG TIME. And also lowkey Ishimondo but HamaHaya is my main one!!! I love them so much and I have so many headcanons and stories for them!!! That’s kinda why I want to put them on poly relationships? Like I want these relationships to be explored but I can’t take them away from each other
B: A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind.
I haven’t considered Yuuichi ² (and i refuse to call it any other way) but man did you change my mind. Did you.
Also there was this one time I just liked MasaHika as a BROTP but then @producktions and my brother came and… I surrendered :’D
J: Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr.
Oh, Voltron definitely! I saw all this fanart, and fics and stuff and all I knew it was filed under ‘gays in space’, but then @justanothermatsugirl and @srta-double invited me to watch and… Porntron came to be. And Porntron is the best thing. Ever.
L: Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for?
It depends? I usually try to make both of us happy when it comes to requests, for example, if that person likes, say, HamaHaya but I feel like I want HamaKura I will ask them for HamaHaya anyways because 1. HAMAHAYA and 2. Maybe they will put more feel into the art!!! And what is most important of art is the feelings that it is put into it! Best art is the art you can tell the author put all their heart on~!
but if i could choose anything, give me the hamahayakuraminamana, you cowards
N: Your favorite fandom (for the people; not the thing you fangirl over).
Um… Is it normal I want to say the MOTHER fandom on 2014? Especifically on DA. It was like a tiny family… Everyone knew each other. Everyone was nice with each other. It was so nice. But now everyone parted ways and I have no idea where everyone is. Most left DA (and so did I) and I can’t help but wonder where they are. But my current fandom is really nice too… It’s like a family, too… Sometimes.
P: Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
Lately I’ve been thinking about a Go Ares AU a lot and hamano goes to tengawara for obvious reasons but that’s kinda boring so I gotta think about something more interesting >:3c
Kind of a joke AU, but still:
Have you guys ever heard about ~LA FERIA~? It’s like this weird Spanish thing we have. Everyone dances and sings these lame guitar songs which are mostly like aAAAAaAAAaaaYYYYYYYY @loreprotectionsquad can confirm BUT! that’s not the interesting thing! The interesting thing about Feria is that we basically get a mini amusement park on our town, just because! 
So my brother and I thought about some Go kids there and it just…
Hamano gets Kurama a giant Snake plush and he tries to ride on a… Ride with it and it almost slips out but he clings to it and manages to save it. Hamano thinks it’s adorable. Kurama swears he’ll kill him if he tells someone. Hamano promised Hayami he’d get a plushie for him too, but he is unable (because you can only win one plush per day) so Hayami gets a dolphin plush for him. Imagine Hayami walking around with two overly joyful boyfriends clinging to their giant plushies. Goals.
Kirino and Shindou ride on the ferris wheel which they don’t set up anymore, but still. and Ibuki tries to climb it but fails (?
Shinsuke rides on some dinosaur themed train, and there’s clowns with balloons and stuff you can snatch from them. He gets a plastic axe. Which are super hard to get i need to tell you the story of how i got one when i was like 8. it was so stupid it’s funny He somehow convinces Tsurugi to ride too, while Tenma and Aoi look at them. They have become the ultime balloon snatchers. No one can stop them. Aoi and Tenma are so proud.
Taiyou comes, sees Tenma and waves at him, approaching him. Then all of the sudden, Fuyuka comes rushing after him, and tells Tenma that ‘Taiyou should be in right now, sorry for the inconvenience’ and picks him by the stomach (you know… like a kitten, with her arm around his torso? you get me, right?) while Taiyou tries to escape, but fails.
Kariya and Hikaru try to hide from Hiroto and Midorikawa, who have come with them, but Kariya wants some time alone, while they want to take pics of everything they do, basically.
Something about Yukimura and Fubuki was mentioned, along with Kishibe and Aphrodi, but I don’t remember ;v; Also, Amagi going with Mahoro and Yukie, and all of the third years (Minamisawa as well, for some reason) going together too.
My brother kinda dislikes Galaxy (except Tetsukado, Kusaka and Konoha) so I’ll do their stuff myself.
Minaho and Manabe compete to see who will get more plushies. They only get one keychain working together. They give it to the first team member that they see because they don’t know who should keep it.
But that was after the previously mentioned day, so the Second Year Trio got them plushies instead (they got the hang of one game and they WILL make the most of it. And, they have to help a boyfriend out, right?
So they spend the rest of the festivity together. And they have fun and stuff.
There’s one ride with horses. Konoha spends 98/100 there. Otherwise, she wouldn’t come. It’s so noisy, and crowded…
Kusaka comes and goes to check on her. He can’t ride on most… Rides (this is redundant) anyways. He’s too tall.
Tetsukado and Hamano competed to see who was better at Duck-Fishing. Let’s just say that Shinsuke and Hamano’s boyfriends came home with lots of plushes and prices…
Sakura aced all the games. How did she manage, no one knows (she was, in fact, the first one Minaho and Manabe offered the keychain to. But she rejected it and got two super sparkly keychains for them instead. Minaho and Manabe offered it anyways in exchange but she said that it was nothing and that they should keep the one they got.
Matatagi showed his brothers the place and rode on some rides (seriously how is this so redundant). Eventually they joined the Plushie Fest. Matatagi’s brothers cheered. He, not so much, not when he had to carry around giant plushies for the rest of the day, as his brothers were too busy exploring around.
I think that’s all??? Am I forgetting someone? except zanakurou but i don’t know what to do with him. he dances sevillanas. i don’t know. sorry darling
Oh, yeah, and there’s also this AU my brother and I made in which Kurama is a time traveler and quite literally Hamano and Hayami’s son (he has a big sister named Estrella but that’s for another time) and he has come because their parents were too slow too realize they had feelings for each other and he fears for his existence and his sister’s (???
Q: A ship you’ve abandoned and why.
Can you believe I used to ship Min/////a/kura? But, to be honest, I didn’t know what that was. I just found some comic of them and I thought it was cute. Then I got more into InaEle, and well…
I’m saying that one because I can’t think of anything else XD
R: A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships.
The Kurama multiship fest, which I will proceed to explain, even though the first one is sorta popular, but still:
Hamano and Hayami, because I saw HamaKura and I thought it was really cute! (when i got used to kurama, at first i didn’t like him but i found hamahayakura and i went ‘eeeeeeeehhh’ but you already know that story) then I thought of HamaHaya + HamaKura and Hayami just got into the package for some reason XD
Hikaru, because I was salty I didn’t ship him with Minamisawa and I wanted to ship him with someone but I didn’t know who, then he had a little scene with Hikaru on the games (when they go look for Shinsuke or something) and a lightbulb light up on my head
Tenma because, honestly, how can you have someone you ship with everyone but not Tenma? Plus it’s cute. 
Tsurugi because I saw somebody posting drawings of them and I went ‘hey they cute’ and that’s all. also the fandom team might or might not had something to do with it
Kariya because they had this scene when they went to China on CS that i don’t even remember but what i do remember is my brother asking me why i wasn’t saying anything about the ship, and i went ‘well, i don’t, BUUUUUUUUUT’ and so it started.
Minaho because, and listen well because this one is weird, I was in class, and I was bored, and I decided to make quadrants for some InaEle characters, I started by Minaho and went ‘huh so, Moirail, Manabe, Matesprit, Manabe, Kismesis, Manab-wait’ so I decided to crack it up a bit and now it was ‘Moirail, Hamano, Matesprit, Manabe’ but I wanted to give him a Kismesis (that could’ve been perfectly Matatagi, but I didn’t think of that because I’m dumb) (also read: a love rivalry more or less) so I gave him Kurama. THEN I played BigBang and they had a small interaction and since back then I couldn’t even read Hiragana I don’t know what they said but Kurama made a sad face afterwards so I take it as I was right
Fei because Kurama learns Bouncer Rabbit on Galaxy (actually the two-people version. He does it with Hamano because I’m obvious) and also Fei stole his number, now Kurama has to steal something back (???
Taiyou because on my CS game Kurama, Taiyou and Hikaru always do hissatsus together on the random thing (that makes also Sakura and Matatagi do Butterfly Dream together all the time for some reason. Which is funny because I lowkey shipped it before starting Galaxy) so I got used to seeing them together.
Ibuki because my brother always calls them losers (he’s a bit mean sometimes, but I love him ;v;) so I started relating them n stuff.
Hakuryuu because my brother and I have this thing called the ‘Spammer Club’ which is for characters that say other character’s name a lot. We have Hakuryuu (who we jokingly call churugispammer) Miyasaka, Ibuki, Hakuryuu and Kurama got in too for some reason. So yeah. It happened. N stuff.
Also I brotp him with Kinako, but I brotp Kinako with everyone.
S: What’s a headcanon you have?
Hmm… I headcanon that out of the Second Year Trio, only Hamano has siblings (2 sisters, him being the middle sib- and no that’s not me self projecting ok) 
Hayami has mentioned more than once on the games that he wants to be a scientist, and I headcanon that it’s because his mother is! Which also means she’s super busy most of the time. So Hayami is quite dependent, but he can’t cook for his life. Hamano is surprisingly okay at cooking, and he’s learning to bake.
Also, Hayami really likes penguins for some reason.
T: What are your favorite male/male ships or female/female ships?
Ack, that’s a hard one ;v;
- Male/Male - (to keep things fresh from 3 diff fandoms each)
Hamano/Hayami (Inazuma Eleven)
Ishimaru/Oowada (Danganronpa)
Killua/Gon (HxH) 
Shu/Valt (Beyblade Burst)
Hau/Gladion (Pokémon)
- Female/Female -
Diana/Akko (Little Witch Academia) (i gotta continue it sob aaa)
Ootani/Anna (Inazuma Eleven)
Moon/Lillie (Pokémon)
Z: What’s a ship that you want to ship publicly, but everyone on tumblr hates it so you keep your mouth shut about it?
Ahahah, what are you talking about [hides my polyship mess under a rug] it is not much that they hate it, just that no one is interested XD

Outer Channeler (Medium Archetype)
In the same vein as the Kami Medium, but without the trappings associated with Japanese culture, today we’re looking at a group of mediums that channel outsider spirits into their bodies rather than those of deceased mortals. As such, their abilities are pretty diverse depending on what variety of outsider they call upon.
As an archetype from one of the anthology books, it is associated with a specific tome of mystic lore, specifically occult lore in this case, which makes sense both because of the nature of the class, but also because drawing power from outer planes without calling upon a divine power does fall under the purview of occult lore.
In any case, almost every major type of outer plane outsider is covered by this archetype, with the exception of inevitables, proteans, and several “secondary” types of fiend, like sakhil, asura, divs, the like. This is likely due to space constraints and how certain types of outsider have been widely been left without a lot of development at time the archetype was published, namely Inevitables in this case. Of course, nothing is stopping a creative GM from coming up with suitable outsider sets for this archetype.
 While the outsiders these mediums channel come in various levels of power and type, they still provide many of the same benefits as other medium spirits, though they provide a slightly different power to the medium in question than those granted by standard members of the class, as well as an additional power to sufficiently masterful mystics. However, this comes with drawbacks, as they must accept additional taboos, and morally incompatible allies cannot rely on the séance blessings of the spirits of certain outsider types.
In addition to the outsiders they house in their bodies, these mediums also gain the services of familiar-capable outsiders, though they initially house themselves in the forms of animals, later revealing their true nature and shifting back and forth between those two forms.
In addition to the normal locations that a medium can call spirits to them from, these mystics can call up their outsider allies from any location sacred to outsiders of that type, be it the plane they are from, the temple of a god associated with them, or any other significant site.
Rather than asking drifting spirits in the astral for advice, these mediums instead ask questions of their chosen outsider type, which can color the nature of the information they glean.
The outsider types and abilities granted are thus:
Aeons grant supernatural protection and transform the body of the medium to have less vitals to injure, as well as grant them telepathic communication.
Agathions grant the healing touch of a paladin, and the ability to speak the languages of both mortals and beasts.
Angels grant protection, particularly against evil, which can be extended to others, and the ability to speak all languages.
Archons grant their signature aura of unnerving menace, as well as the ability to teleport short range.
Azatas bless their medium with the freedom to slip all bonds and ability to command the bonds of others to undo themselves, as well as granting flight.
Daemons allow the mystic to call their kin to serve, as well as allow the medium to trap the souls of the dying in soul gems.
Demons also grant summoning, and taint their host’s weapons with dark energy to harm the righteous.
Devils grant summoning of their own, and allow the medium to see through darkness.
Finally, psychopomps grant their medium protection from necromantic effects, the ability to imbue weaponry to strike at spirits, and the ability to sense the living and the dead.
The combination of possible spirits a medium could favor plus the number of different outsider groups that mediums could favor makes for a super diverse array of possible builds. The various fiendish outsiders universally grant summoning, particularly summoning that grants several outsiders outside of the vanilla list, so keep that in mind, while the other outsider types grant various mobility, protection, and even debuffing abilities, so keep those in mind for what sort of build you want to pull off.
 Due to the decidedly otherworldly beings that these mediums call upon, I can imagine that many manifest more than strange mannerisms due to their bond. Some may even manifest physical traits of their current outsider partner, if only for a few brief seconds when activating their powers or acting in accordance with its will. You could even play up the body horror aspect of it in a horror game.
  Though a lesser daemon by all respects, Akkusar the cacodaemon seeks to emulate his true masters, the circle of six daemon that offer their powers to the medium Kura. The fiendish flying maw plans to do so by finding a way to possess a doppeldrek, gaining a useful body capable of a myriad of forms.
 Rejecting the fiend totem of his people, Tongarr instead calls upon a more balanced force. Whispering the names of the aeons, the orcish mystic calls upon their duality for guidance and power, favoring the divine power granted by lipika aeons in the role of the hierophant.
 Due to a misunderstanding, the party finds themselves pursued by the inquisition of the Sun God, the leader of the team able to draw upon various agathions for aid, becoming fishlike to draw upon divine magic, reptilian for arcane, and even taking on the leonine aspect to face them directly in combat.

Interview, Autumn Durald - A Transforming Force
Tumblr media
Hey, Autumn! Are you having fun shooting a western film? 
Unfortunately the western I was supposed to shoot at the start of the year was pushed. When we do start shooting it will be a wild ride. 
Are you doing things differently with this project or there are significant changes to how you shoot?
The short film has the same storyline so we already had a test run at the visuals. On the short film, I shot 35mm anamorphic and I flashed and pulled the film stock. I plan on doing that as well for the feature along with some other tricks.
As the imagery should tell the right story, and each story has it's own look, Do you think it's possible for a Cinematographer to have a particular visual aesthetic?
When I first started out I didn’t use to subscribe to this theory, however, I do now. I find that people often tell me that there’s definitely a particular visual style in all of my work. Which made me think more about other Cinematographers work I love, and now I can see why someone would say that. Every story has its own distinctive look, but a DP definitely brings their taste and eye to each project, and if you have a strong one then it shines.
How do you translate the combined vision of the writer and the director - on film? Have there been times when you went a little too adventurous?
All of my feature work, now six features have been with writer-directors. This makes it easy when talking to the director about the vision since he/she also wrote it. I wouldn’t say I’ve ever gone too adventurous, nothing the director and I didn’t dive into together. On the Arcade Fire “porno” music video/documentary film I shot for director Kahlil Joseph in Haiti we definitely did some adventurous things, but he is a very adventurous filmmaker so it’s par for the course when you shoot with him.
Do you feel that the courage to allow the moments of the characters and the overall atmosphere to be raw, not just as a form of a mental stimulation but more visible is something that makes increases the viewer's investment into the film? Can it increase the emotional magnitude of the film? 
Some stories should be told visually with a lighter touch, then the characters stand out the most. It’s not our job as Cinematographers to take our audience out of the story by showing how flashy our work can be or how cool our framing is. If our choices don’t suit the story and add depth to the emotional quality of the scene then we aren’t doing our job correctly. I don’t think an image has to be handheld and only naturally lit to feel realistic or raw. If those qualities are appropriate then great, but I do think you can manufacture a realistic tone through lighting it and keeping the camera more still.
When you are shooting, do you ever think about whether you would want the audience to be an experiencer standing by or let's say a third actor in the film? How do you experience the movies or photographs you reference to or enjoy?
Definitely depends on the project. I’d say for Palo Alto it was important to express intimately what these teenagers were going through and have you feel like you were a part of their world. We also chose not to shoot it in a gritty handheld doc style. I don’t think the camera work or look has to be loose for audiences to feel like they are apart of the scene. Gia and I favored a much more considered camera style and dreamy visuals, and we knew our audiences were sophisticated enough to relate. 
Coming back to your process, can you talk to us about how you transform the use of light according to specific scenes and according to the nature of the film? Can you please share with us some of your experiences over the years shooting and working with light? 
When I was at AFI (my graduate film school) my focus was always more lighting driven. The DPs that inspired me to choose Cinematography as a career had a very strong sense of light in their work. Gordon Willis, Harris Savides, Conrad Hall, and Michael Ballhaus. Sadly none of these DPs are with us anymore but their work is incomparable. So I made it a point early on in my career to learn lighting and what a gaffer does, and what they do well. I find the technical aspect of lighting intriguing and early on I always paid attention to what my gaffers and electricians were doing on set. When I read a script one of the first things I can visualize is how the light falls in the space or scene. I’m not sure why that is or when in my career this happened but it's something that becomes apparent first. After discussing the look with the director this definitely evolves, but I start from there. If it’s a period piece there are already some limitations set in stone depending on the genre. I favor using hard and soft light together in a scene. And most importantly where the light comes from should serve a purpose.
Can you share with us the experiences you went through in order to widen your vision, your imagination and your dreams? Is it exhausting to spread your wings in a society as it is?
The two most important things a good DP should draw from is her/his sense of taste and their confidence. When you have a good sense of taste and the confidence to carry it out that’s where the images speak for themselves. It can be exhausting at times to get the projects you want to shoot. This career has a lot to do with determination and patience. Since Palo Alto, I get offered a ton of coming of age films. That is not the only story I want to tell or can tell. So it takes some work convincing this industry that you can shoot a variety of genres. Putting in that work can be exhausting but you’re a better DP for it. I wrapped a film called Teen Spirit last summer, it was an amazing experience and probably the film that most widened my vision and imagination. The film turned into something so special that I couldn't’ have predicted that when I read the script. Those are the most enlightening experiences, when you work your ass off, along with your team, and your directors' vision shines and they ultimately put together a good film. Those experiences can be few and far between. That’s when you feel your wings spreading when everything just comes together and you're proud of the final film you shot. Finding directors to work with that inspire you and you trust to tell great stories is one of the most important things I’ve learned making films.
Do you feel as more women come into filmmaking, they are going to bring an entirely new perspective to it and ultimately inspire a life from the heart than the mind? 
The best and most successful films ultimately all come from the heart. That’s why you feel so emotionally connected to them. Female filmmakers started making films in the late 1800’s. It’s only now we’ve decided to shine a huge light on the subject. If audiences were paying attention, female told stories and perspectives have been out there for a long time. Now this current light on female filmmakers is allowing more women opportunities which are allowing more of those stories to be told. Hopefully, one day making it more of an equal landscape, mainstream films directed by women and men. Instead of what we’re most used to seeing at the box office, female and male stories told by men. I appreciate both perspectives, I think it’s fascinating to watch a female protagonist directed by a man and then see one directed by a woman. This diversity is what makes filmmaking so fun. You don’t need to be a male to tell a mans story and vice versa. Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean I can’t shoot a masculine film. One of my favorite lensed films is BLOW,  I remember the first time I saw it I looked up who the DP was. I was so delighted and inspired to see it was shot by a woman. Ellen Kuras is one of the reasons I thought I could even do this job when I finally decided to pursue it. Great cinematography or filmmaking shouldn’t see gender.
Before I ask you the last question, can you tell us, how would you compose silence? 
Not sure how I would go about that, but if I was brainstorming a way to do it, I would start by sitting in a room with a Rothko painting.
Lastly, what would you suggest or share with other cinematographers?
Find your own sense of visual style and taste and run with it. Great work comes from the soul and only you can tell that story. Don’t be too concerned with making everything so precious in the frame. When you do that it tends to draw you away from the actual story and also the other artists making the film with you. You learn more about your style, the way you shoot and telling stories by all your mistakes. Take those mistakes and learn from them, don’t forget them. I am fortunate enough to do this as a career and I love my job, but this job is nothing without the people I work with. Filmmaking is a team effort and without that support, we as DPs can’t carry out our vision. Always appreciate your hard working crew and figure out the best way to lead them. And last but not least, for all you girls who want to be DPs but are discouraged by the lack of diversity in the industry, just go out and do it. There shouldn’t be anything stopping you. If you have a unique perspective and can create beautiful images, that is enough to get your foot in some door. I hope seeing more female shooters now is a testament to that.

QUICK GUIDE TO HAYADO KURA
Okay…
First of all, this is my girl
Meaning, this is the one I lean towards the most when it comes to creative stuff
Mostly because I’m a simp for Bakugou, who is her boyfriend.
Lets start off with her name, then, shall we? since it’s the most basic fact about her
(i’m actually not 100% sure about any of this since i don’t speak japanese but I’m fairly certain and tried to doublecheck everything)
Her name is Hayado Kura, which is written like “はやど くら” with hiragana and “ハヤド クラ” with katakana. 
The Kanji for her surname is “速度”, which put together means speed or velocity. It is actually romanized as “Sokudo”, but I used the reading “Haya” for 速. There isn’t really a deep meaning to it, though, it just references her Quirk.
The Kanji for her first name is “宮羅” where 宮 means “shrine” and 羅 means “lightweight fabric”. Again, no deep meaning, but I loved the name Kura and can’t change it now.
Though it doesn’t seem like it, I struggled with her name the most. At first, it was Zeizen Noa, I believe, then it became Nakano Kura, then Rikisou Kura, then Ryokusou Kura before I landed on Hayado Kura. Hopefully, it’ll stay on Hayado Kura, but you never know.
Anyway, her Quirk is called Adrenaline. In short, it converts her adrenaline and energy to physical attacks in the form of blasts and such. She can also fly. 
This is particularly effective in battle, as her attacks become more powerful the more she fights
However, as you could probably guess, it’s quite draining. Though she can start flying from the get-go if she’s well-rested and thus has energy to start up with, she can’t do it if she’s tired.
If she’s being chased and in situations where she would panic, her Quirk lasts longer, but it’s also prone to Adrenaline Rushes. It starts up with her veins glowing scarlet, then her body completely shuts down. 
This is the sequence of an Adrenaline Rush: glowing veins → light shaking → dizzy → cold → generally weak → shut down.
While this can come with perks, as she’s much more powerful in such a state, she often tips beyond the “glowing veins” step and ends up with an Adrenaline Shock.
At the start of the school year, such shocks would leave her unconscious up to ten hours, but with training, she’s reduced the time to where she’s able to stay awake, simply exhausted and unable to use her Quirk. 
Moving on to her fight style, she tends to lean towards an all-out offense, with emphasis on her arms and punches. 
Before Hayado was accepted into U.A., she used to get into fights with other kids at school, where she learnt a somewhat effective aggressive style that didn’t have much technique. She tended to only shoot blasts from her punches, where she found it most natural to focus her Quirk, and threw some kicks in here and there for variations. Thus, she developed a bad habit of doing the same in each fight she was in, which often made her lose against trained opponents. This used to irritate her beyond no end, until she lost against Todoroki in the Sports Festival and Bakugou told her afterwards that she was too predictable in her attacks. Initially, she ignored it out of spite, but his blunt advice resonated with her, and during the internship, Hayado interned with Helia, a Pro-hero with a similar Quirk but vastly different fighting style. 
Helia drilled her in technique and taught her how to utilise her Quirk in  different ways, such as expanding her blasts to be able to come from her legs to add variation. She also taught her to focus her energy on her whole body, which increases her strength, speed, senses and endurance.
When she returned to class, Hayado was a whole other person, which didn't go unnoticed. While her skills had increased, she had also learnt to sharpen her focus, which both made her a more formidable opponent and calmed her overall hot temper ever so slightly. 
This was also the first time she won against Bakugou in a practice match. It was ever so slightly and partly due to his surprise at her sudden improvement, but she didn't let it die down until they had another match where Bakugou won.
Also, Hayado can also use her Quirk to fly.
At first, Hayado seems like a hot-tempered girl who's all brawn and no brain. Since childhood, she didn't respond well to criticism and retorted back with spiteful insults, which put most people off from being friends with her. Sadly, this only furthered her aggression and made her into one of her school's bullies, who constantly got into fights and skipped class often. (the only reason she got into U.A. was because she had a teacher who still believed in her and helped her study for the written exam, which she barely passed, but she got in through the practical exam)
Underneath this surface, however, Hayado is loyal and playful, which she only showed to Class 1-A after she befriended Mina and started messing around with her in class. As she didn't have a lot of them growing up, she deeply values her friendships and would do almost whatever for them, unless another one of her friends tells her to not do as they say.
Admittedly, she's beyond impulsive, and often doesn't think before she goes into action. She doesn't make much of a tactic, most often settling for fighting things out and hoping it works, which highly depends on two factors 1) who she's fighting and 2) if Bakugou shows up to help while simultaneously scolding her and calling her irresponsible (happens more often than you’d think)
Part of her arc is learning how to take more care of herself. Since she’s so fiercely loyal, she tends to forget her own needs and interests for her friends, such as not rushing into battle without plans and tactics, not neglecting her grades, and other things like it. While she does get better throughout high school, I’m thinking that after graduation, she starts dating a guy named Sutora Eki, who is manipulative and exploits her dependence and loyalty. However, Bakugou comes back into her life and helps her see what Eki is doing to her, so she gets back on track after she breaks up with him.
In case you can’t tell, she ends up with Bakugou after she breaks up with Eki and becomes more sure of herself.
Other facts about her
She loves caffeine, mostly as coffee, but she likes energy drinks as well. However, she has to limit her intake since it might affect her Quirk.
She would be an ESTP-T, but I reckon she becomes more of an ESTP-A when she grows older (it’s 49/51 percent)
Her best friend is Yua, another OC
She was born in All for One’s Quirk Facility, which is why her Quirk is so strong, but flawed (I’ll expand on this later, but it’s pretty much what it sounds like)
Overall, she might be one of my favourite ocs of all time. I love her loads, and I love her relationship with Katsuki (i don’t go too into depth with it here, but they start off with an intense rivalry, which unintentionally turns into caring for each other, then they have a rivalry/friendship/romance thing going on where Bakugou realises he likes her, but doesn’t do anything as her relationship starts to develop with Eki).

The One With Koo Koo’s Little Munchkin
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: jungkook x nobi (ft. uncle bangtan)
summary: nobi’s brother lets her babysit her niece but her and jungkook don’t really know how to take care of a baby
if she was warned of the disaster and the regret that would happen later, nobi would’ve never let that baby enter her home.
it all started when kazuki, her older brother, needed someone to look after his daughter since him and his wife were going overseas for a week-long medical conference. unfortunately, the grandparents were also out of the country since the youngest child, maiya, had a chess tournament in China and needed her guardians.
that only left him with his other sister, sakura, or most commonly known to the world as Nobi of BTS.
with the ring of cellphone and the familiar ringtone dedicated just for her oldest sibling, nobi placed the washing gloves down and retrieved the phone that was on the counter to squish it between her ear and shoulder. 
“welcome to chili’s, how may I help you?” 
a burst of laughter from the other side caused a smile on her face. “table for 4, please!”
she froze, “WHAT!? HANA IS PREGNANT!? AGAIN!?”
“WHAT!? NO! IT’S FOR THE DOG! WOONGIE THE DOGGIE!”
a relieved sigh passed through her, “dear asahi, please don’t scare me like that again.”
“i mean... my favor might?”
with that sentence, nobi should’ve declined and hung up without a second thought. but as the loving and dependable little sister she was, she pressed farther and asked what for.
“you see... hana and i need to go to germany for some conference and we can’t take nanako since we’ll be in workshops all day. ma and pa are with maiya in China for chess so it only leaves you.”
“wOW, i’M the lAST rESoRt?!” An outraged yell from her caught the attention of jin, jungkook, and jimin, who were lounging in the living room.
“please, kura,” he begged and she sighed. “you love nanako, don’t you? besides! jungkook’s there and i trust him, so you have someone for help!”
“i haven’t even seen the kid since she was born not even a year ago. and jungkook’s a man-child.”
“but you still like her. and him.”
“eh, if she’s 50% of you then maybe i don’t. and he’s a handful already so adding an actual baby will be a pain.”
“kura! please!” 
the loud voice from her sister-in-law made her cringe and back her ear away. jungkook is familiar with the voices in her phone since he roomed with her and she called her brother and his wife often. 
“please take care of nanako!” she yelled and hung up, not even giving nobi time to protest.
nobi cursed under her breath and finished putting the last plate on the rack before wiping her hands and walking over to join the rest. jungkook scooted to the side so she could sit next to him and she curled up on his side since he opened up his right arm.
“what’s up?” jin asked as he placed an UNO wild card on the table during the heated match the boys had.
“kazuki wants me to take care of his brat,” she complained. “didn’t even give me any say in it.”
“ah, it’s okay! jin-hyung knows how to take care of them!” jimin reassured, not looking up from his 5 cards.
“um, not really?” the oldest asked unsurely.
“how old is the kid?”
“she’s turning one in 5 months.”
“aren’t you happy kazuki finally settled down, though?” hobi’s question made her shrug.
“i mean, the parents have been bugging him since he turned 23 to find a girlfriend. the guy married his first ever girlfriend and had a kid with her!” she exclaimed. “to be honest, i really thought he was paying her to act as his lover but apparently not!”
“can you imagine being so desperate to buy a fake girlfriend?” yoongi mumbled making her laugh.
“use that one,” nobi nudged yoongi with her toe pointing to the card. “also, jin-hyung didn’t change any of our diapers.”
“but wouldn’t a baby be easier than raising 4 teenagers?” namjoon said and nobi looked up from jungkook’s chest.
“well, i guess it won’t be that bad if i have help.”
“speak for yourself,” yoongi mumbled to which she playfully jabbed his side.
 “anyways. if their kid goes missing, it’s not my fault because i was forced in this situation.”
jungkook tightened his arm around her. “think of this as a trial-run, bub. since you never took care of your sister, you don’t really know if you’re good with kids or not. maybe you’re like the ultimate mother master.”
she giggled, “nah. suffering 9 months for a demon and being responsible for it for 18 more years? can’t even handle myself.”
...
true to her word, nobi really can’t look after herself, much less with a kid. the doorbell rang meaning they were outside and had the little demon to take care of waiting. she tripped over some of kook’s shoes on the floor and she stubbed her toe against the door frame in a hurry to answer the door.
when kazuki dropped off his baby girl, nobi begrudgingly took the carrier from hana’s hands and snarled when kazuki sent an victorious smile.
“it’s only for 7 days, kura.”
“you know what could happen in those 7 days?! anything can happen in that time period! i wrote an entire album in a week! what’s to say i won’t do something to the brat!” her whines made kazuki roll his eyes before thumping her on the forehead.
“you big dummy,” he mused. “it’ll be fine. besides, hana put in about 7 pages of instructions there for you just in case.” she followed his finger that was pointing to the bag on her arm.
“honestly, are you my brother?” she asked, irritated. “since when do you see me reading instructions?”
“when you’re handling a tiny human and you won’t have anyone there to help you. that’s when.”
the boys were huddled around the carrier in the middle of the parlor, absolutely smitten with chubby cheeks of the baby and the little puffs of air she let out. sleep was heavy on her and her tiny fist clenched the baby blue blanket that her mother knitted her.
nobi was sorting out the baby powder and the nappies at the kitchen while jungkook squeezed some of the milk on his arm to test the temperature. he had assembled a crib in their room earlier and she placed all of the clothes into an emptied drawer that used to house her socks.
“sakura! how could you hate this little angel?!” jin squealed. 
“hyung! too loud!” jungkook chided and nobi laughed.
“she looks too much like maiya.” her answer didn’t reach the others ears since no one reacted. she leaned her hip against the island and crossed her arm, amused and watching the boys get hypnotized by nanako.
“can you believe a little munchkin, not even a year old, has all the members of bangtan wrapped around her tiny finger?” jungkook asked from behind her, resting his chin on her shoulder.
nobi leaned against his chest, “well, the guys love kids in general. even she has yoongi-hyung’s attention, the attention that is reserved only for his baby Holly.”
jimin saw nanako flutter her tiny eyes open and watched it widen at the sight of 6 unfamiliar faces. she must’ve been frightened at the foreign surrounding and the lack of her mother and father only added to the fear. soon, her wails filled the previously quiet dorm and the boys panicked.
“oi! eomma! appa! your baby is crying!” tae shouted and nobi rushed over from the nappies, kneeling quickly and hovering over the carrier.
“hello, darling,” she cooed. “have a nice nap?” nanako didn’t respond but her cries did quiet down a bit, blinking up at the familiar-looking person. nobi picked her up and placed her on her arms, fingers gently touching her cheeks.
jungkook came over with the ready bottle of milk and handed it to her so she could feed the baby. “here.”
the boys watched the 2 peer down at the suckling baby and they snapped up when someone’s camera shutter and camera flash went off. taehyung had his old camera, jin had his polaroid, while namjoon had his phone up, all with wide eyes as if they were just caught.
“oi! nanako is feeding!” jungkook scolded causing nobi and the others to laugh.
“wah, it’s like we’re looking into the future!” hobi whispered, shocked at the sight in front of him.
“joonie, look! our babies with their baby!”
nanako continued to feed, eventually finishing her entire bottle, and nobi passed her off to jungkook so he could burp her while she washes the bottle for the next feed. 
the guys shared a look and they grinned, relieved that taking care of this baby wasn’t going to be as bad as they thought.
...
eyebags and wrinkles were making their home in the faces of nobi and jungkook, victims of her irregular sleeping schedule. it was only the third day and her second night with them was the roughest time they’ve went through in a while. 
jungkook was slumped over at the dining table, sleeping and breakfast shoved to the side, and nobi was clutching her coffee cup and seemed to be sleeping with her eyes wide open. 
jin and namjoon were observing them with concern since they too were woken up by the loud cries of the child and they know the maknaes haven’t had a good sleep since the first night.
“kura?” jin poked her at the shoulder but received no response. “sakura?”
she jolted, wildly looking around as if she didn’t know where she was. “huh?”
her sudden movement woke jungkook up and he also looked out of sorts, eyes suddenly going wide. “the baby!”
“the baby!” nobi echoed before shooting up to stand but a hand stopped her.
“sshh,” namjoon soothed. “taehyung and jimin washed her already and are changing her right now. don’t worry, hoseok’s there with them.”
similar fatigue-laced eyes settled on the oldest and the leader as they sat back down, confusion and alarm slowly disappearing. jungkook groaned and started to slump over to go back to sleep but shot up when he heard the giggles from the devil herself.
“appa! nanako is here!” tae said in a child-like voice, carrying nanako with jimin and hobi trailing behind him.. “nanako is clean!” nanako saw jungkook and nobi and immediately wiggled to go to her temporary parents.
“nanako wants to see eomma!” jimin followed but nobi immediately shook her head.
“no!” she expressed, back away from the baby.
“aw, why?” tae pouted but smiled again when jungkook outstretched his arms.
“come here, my little munchkin,” he grunted. nanako found solace in his arms and she laid her head on his chest, as if she was listening to his steady heartbeat with her eyes closed.
nobi observed the girl’s calm behavior, slightly leaning forward to get a better look. “if only she was this peaceful last night.”
“hm, this is what parenthood is like, kids.” yoongi’s comment made the rest shiver.
“when was the last time you both slept longer than 3 hours?” jin asked as the amount of times he heard walking in their room was concerning.
“the night before she got here,” jungkook answered. 
“well, you’re lucky she’s only here for a week. next week, we have a meeting with Bang and we might start choreography classes then. it’s good that we won’t have a baby in tow.” 
everyone nodded at namjoon and at the mention of the meeting, hobi and yoongi dispersed to leave to their studios while the 95-liners were leaving to go to the gym to prepare their bodies for the grueling dances. namjoon was accompanying jin to the grocery store so it left the maknaes and the baby at home with no one else.
thankfully, the child was starting to fall asleep and nobi noticed jungkook fighting to keep his eyes open.
“come on, let’s go to bed.” her suggestion sparked a little life in jungkook and he carefully carried nanako to their bedroom where they could all get comfortable.
within seconds, nanako fell asleep and with the rise and fall of jungkook’s chest combined with his heartbeat made her slip into dreamworld quickly. jungkook was already snoring by the time nobi laid next to him and she hummed in content, happy that she was able to finally sleep.
...
their days continued on like that.
being fortunate enough to be on break, jungkook and nobi were able to sleep whenever they wanted since they were usually kept up by the energy that nanako only released at nighttime. 
but they weren’t the only ones suffering.
it was now clear that the lungs that sakura had was genetic as it also transferred over to her niece by the way she belted her cries, the boys jokingly singing along to it (cue bretman rock). at night, they have created ways to block out her cries like sleeping with airpods plugged in or on jimin and hoseok’s case, leaving for 3 nights to sleep in a hotel since their room was right next door.
however, tonight was especially bad.
nanako refused to drink her milk, instead crying and screaming the entire time she was awake. when she did sleep, she would eventually wake herself up and start the entire cycle again. nobi was getting worried because she only had 1 bottle of milk today and she didn’t want to be held or touched by anyone.
combined with the worry and the sleep deprivation, nobi was in tears, sobbing on the floor next to nanako’s crib, who was also crying, so together they had a crying session. everyone else was busy, even jungkook since he joined the others in the gym, so she was left to fend for herself and the baby wasn’t helping by refusing to take in any milk.
“nanako, please,” she begged. “one bottle, hm? just one bottle.”
nanako shook her head and cried louder making sakura wail more. maybe it wasn’t the ideal situation or the ideal move but nobi didn’t know what to do because she’s never taken cared of a baby before. initially, she called her brother to figure out how to solve the problem but neither of them were answering and the booklet had nothing on there on how to get her to drink.
honestly, of all things, that should be in there.
the two girls were so busy having their sobbing match that they completely missed the front door and jungkook’s greeting. the boy was in shock at the sight of nobi clutching the crib with nanako inside while they both cried their eyes out.
“bub,” he whispered before grabbing her to his arms.
“i don’t know why she won’t drink, kook. and i’m so tired,” she wailed and cried harder.
jungkook racked his brain on what to do until settling on a decision. “tell you what. go to bed and plug your airpods in so you could sleep while i take care of nanako.”
nobi started to protest because she knew he needed sleep too but he waved her off. the feeling of the plushness of her bed was so foreign to her now since she rarely had time to sleep on it and relish in the comfort. the loud lo-fi music drowned out the screams and wails of the baby, allowing her to finally slip into her own dreamland.
it was only about 2 hours that she woke up and she cursed, fearing that she has so suddenly created a new maternal sense in a span of 5 days.quickly sitting up, the panic in her chest soothed when she saw an empty bottle on the dresser and jungkook swaying with nanako cradled on his arms, sleeping. she gently pried the earbuds out of her ears and smiled softly at jungkook’s quiet singing, feeling relaxed herself.
“go to sleep, my little munchkin,” he whispered. “koo koo will be here when you wake up. i promise.”
nobi closed her eyes in gratitude and forced down a scream of gratitude to the lord and savior, god almighty, that nanako has eaten and finally fallen asleep. and jungkook was here.
jungkook noticed her rising figure and he sat down next to her, still cradling the baby.
“morning,” she grinned to which he returned. “how was she?”
“well, took a while to convince her to eat but she did and she just fell asleep.”
“you’ll be a great father someday, koo koo.” jungkook bashfully looked away to hide the smile that threatened to escape.
“nah, i just communicate with children better.”
“do you want a baby girl? or a baby boy?” 
a moment of thinking caused silence until he answered, “doesn’t matter. as long as i have my family.”
if she didn’t grow up with jungkook and didn’t see through his puberty and awkward and ugly moments, nobi might’ve just busted out a ring and married him then and there.
...
kazuki and hana were amused at the smiling face of the usually shy jungkook and the anger and irritation that radiated off of the girl beside him. the father gently took hold of his daughter from jungkook’s arms and she giggled, seemingly happy to see her father again.
hana placed a hand on nobi’s arm and squeezed in gratitude. “thank you so much, kura.”
nobi had no energy left in her to lie a smile so she sighed. “you’re really welcome. but she’s a handful. she kinda reminds me of maiya.”
kazuki laughed at the mention of their youngest sister. “you stayed with grandmother for a year because you hated her crying.”
“exactly.”
“she was really nice, hyung.” jungkook reassured the man. “loud, but sweet.”
“then she should be over any time, right?”
“during the day, yes.” but she made a cross with her arms. “but nighttime, is no no.”
“either way, thank you so much, sakura, jungkook-ssi.” hana gratefully said and the family finally moved to leave.
nanako, who had her head on her father’s shoulder, turned to peak at the two who were slowly getting farther away and raised a wobbly hand as if saying her good-byes.
“bye bye, my little munchkin!” jungkook yelled and she giggled, flapping her arms.
when they were out of sight, nobi sighed and felt the relief flowing through her veins.
“she’s an absolute adorable little baby. but if i have to spend another night with her, i will lose it.”
jungkook laughed and wrapped an arm around her shoulders to pull her closer.
“again, it’s to prepare for the future, right? because i really want a munchkin of my own.”
a/n: don’t be silly, wrap your willy
