✧ comments/reblogs are super duper appreciated ✧
Tumblr media
As the warm orange sun set behind him, Shion dragged his feet up the metal stairs leading to your apartment. It had become a routine after every gang fight to come back to you. Always welcoming him with a roll of your eyes, and a face mixed with annoyance and pain, but nonetheless you never hesitate to patch him up. 
Today was no different, as a cool March breeze swept through his blonde hair. Shion knocks on the door, hearing shuffling from within before a small click of a lock reveals you. A simple, but comfortable fit adorn with an apron tied around your waist. 
Your eyes quickly scan over Shion, and sigh, “Really? Weren’t you just beat up a couple of days ago?” He lets out a little chuckle pretending not to hear that as you step aside to let him in. 
“It ain’t nothing major. Just some scratches.” Shion calls over his shoulder as he slides his Tenjiku jacket off, laying it on the couch armrest. The comforting scent of fresh chocolate cake hits his senses, “You good? What’cha baking?” He calls out.
Being met with silence he considers going into your little corner of a kitchen to see, but after another second you break it, “Don’t come back here! M’ a mess, just getting stuff to clean up.” He complies without second thought, examining his hands which he notes are a little bloody and bruised even with the use of his brass knuckles. 
You pop out of the kitchen, no longer wearing the apron but carrying a little first aid kit. The couch dips down as you sit beside him, resting the kit on your lap. You met his gaze on his hands, before digging up some antiseptic spray, “Give me your hands.” Mumbling out as Shion extends out his hands. 
The difference between you two is night and day. 
Skillful and dainty hands work at his scuffed up bloody ones. Shion hisses as the antiseptic spray meets his cuts, “C’mon don’t be a baby.” Mumbling out, as you rummage around for some wrapping. “It stings y'know!” 
Your eyes scan over his hands, deeming them to be taken care of. Glancing up at him you notice a small cut and dried blood on his cheek, just edging below his tattoo. “How do you even manage…” Words trailing off as you dig around looking for something to clean the dried blood. 
Shion only humming in response, watching your focused eyes dart around. He can’t help but smile inwardly at how, even if you act annoyed with him, you never fail to take care of him after a gang fight. Though he would never dare to say that out loud, in fear of losing this.
In fear of losing you.
Losing you? It’s not like you're his to begin with. Just friends. So why would he be so worried about losing you? 
He’s brought out of his thoughts as he realizes how close you’ve gotten to his face. “Oi! Damn jumpscare.” Pulling back to put some space up, clicking your tongue in response. “Shion, just hold still, will you? I gotta get this stuff off you.” Leaning forward you raise a hand to his cheek, keeping him still as you dab a cotton ball against his cut. 
Still as a statue, he prays you won’t notice how much his face is heating up. Have your hands always been this soft? Did your eyes always look that pretty? Shion couldn’t help but stare, not even noticing the slight sting of the cut. It wasn’t until you smoothed the band-aid out on his cheek that he broke his stare on you.
“Honestly Shion. Weren’t you once the captain of a gang? How is it you’re always coming over beat up and bloody, huh?” Quietly talking as you pack up the kit, he can only chuckle at the recall of his time as the Black Dragons’ captain. 
Shion got lost in his thoughts of those times, not even noticing the lack of your presence. But even if he isn’t captain anymore, things are better. He’s got you. He’s got Tenjiku. Being a ‘Heavenly King’ sounds a lot cooler than ‘Captain’, doesn’t it? 
The only thing that draws his attention out of his thoughts is the click of a lighter. Since when did you start smoking? As he opens his mouth to question it, his words stop, caught in his throat. 
You carefully walked over to the couch, a plate balanced in your hands. A single cupcake with a fondant crown placed on top, holds a lit candle. “Do you even know what day it is dumbass?” Shion’s eyes dart from you to the cupcake and back. 
“What..day it is?” He mumbles out unconsciously trying to put the pieces together. Cracking a smile as you look at Shion who’s still trying to figure out the date. 
“Happy birthday Shion, make a wish.” 
extra:
You: What did you wish for? 
Shion: Dumbass I can’t tell you! Don’t you know how this shit works?! 
Shion in his mind: for you to be my partner duh??

Hi hi! Congrats on getting to 500!!
For the self-ship drabble event can I please get Shion Madarame with the troupe of 'sharing an umbrella' !
Thank ya so much and congrats again!! <33
Tumblr media
Shion Madarame x GN!Reader
Word Count: 0.5k
A/N: I really have no clue how to write him, so I apologize if he's really ooc
It really couldn’t be more cliche; it’s raining, and you forgot your dumb umbrella. You only had one lecture today, so you didn’t think it would be a big deal. But, of course, you were wrong. So as you stand under the stone covering over the building, you try to figure out what to do. You could always run to your dorm room, but your stuff might get wet, and you brought your laptop. You don’t want to imagine what would happen if something happened to it.
“Forgot your umbrella, huh?” a voice asks from behind you. You turn around and see a tall guy with dyed blonde hair carrying a backpack and an open umbrella. You recognize him. He sits two rows in front of you at your lecture. You’re pretty sure this is the first time you’ve ever spoken to him.
“Uh, yeah, it’s that obvious, then?” you ask, making a small joke. He chuckles.Alter \^o^/
“Yeah, I’d say it’s obvious,” he replies. “Where you headed? Maybe I can walk you there.”
“Really?” you blink in disbelief. “Uh, I’m headed to Redding Hall.”
“Kay, well, let’s get to it,” he says. He steps out from the covering into the rain; he holds out his umbrella slightly so you can step out and join him. You do so, and the two of you begin walking to your dorm.
“I’m sorry to bother you with this,” you say. “It’s probably out of your way.”
“Not really,” he tells you. “Redding Hall is near the parking lot, so it’s not a big deal.”
“Oh, you don’t live on campus?” you ask.
“Nope, I live with a friend in an apartment,” he explains. “It’s way cheaper, and we make on own rules.”
“That does sound nice,” you’ve thought about getting a place outside of school, which does sound pleasant.
“Yeah, I highly recommend it,” he says. “So, how are you enjoying Psych 101?” he says to make more conversation.
“Good, I’m not a fan of lectures, but it’s alright,” you admit.
“Yeah, me neither, but at least we don’t do tests. It’s just papers,” he says.
“Whew! Yeah, I am not a fan of tests,” you sigh in relief. He laughs at your seriousness.
“I just realized,” he begins. “I don’t know your name.”
“Oh, right, I’m Y/N L/N,” you introduce yourself.
“Nice, nice,” he compliments. “Shion Madarame.” You both hold your hands and shake them. His grip is solid and firm.
“Nice to officially meet you,” you joke. He laughs at your small joke.
“You as well,” he continues the fun display.
The two of you get to the front door of your building after a few more minutes of walking and talking. When you get to your door, you almost don’t want the moment to end. He stands with you at the door before you go inside.
“Thank you again for walking me,” you say.
“Of course,” he replies. “If you ever need me and my umbrella, don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Is there a way I can make this up to you?” you ask.
“Oh?” he utters. “Well, how about we get some dinner or lunch together sometime?”
“That sounds perfect,” you agree.
“Cool, we can talk about the details in class on Thursday,” he plans.
“Great,” you reply, and you open the building door. The two of you say your goodbyes, and you walk up to your room, looking forward to Thursday.

xenoblade 1 is interesting because when I first played it I had really mixed feelings. mostly I think because it had been slightly overhyped for me. there were so many videos with masterpiece in the description and people saying it was their favorite.
there was a lot that first turned me off during the story (namely the way it handled its female characters made me frustrated at multiple points) and also how they handled the revenge arc because I have very very specific taste in revenge arcs and I just dont think it landed for me. 
I think I appreciate it a lot more now that im fully deep into the series. I do like a lot about it, from its gameplay to its environment to a lot of the little cast interactions, to just shulk existing. yeah. yeah its alright
#I remember when fiora died and dunban reyn and shulk were all talking about it I couldn't help but just be acutely aware they'd killed off#the only girl in the cast for their revenge quest and it put a sour taste in my mouth. at least we got sharla soon after who they ALSO did#dirty :(((( and they do bring fiora back but man. girl you've been through so much and have a GOD in your body but all you can think about#is how your bf will feel are you serious. its like they saw the backlash to shion and went ok women no more being realistically upset for#you gotta wait like another game or two :/// you get to never confront or be mad about the guy who stabbed you or the guy who wanted you#brainwashed and also forcibly altered your body irreversibly no your boyfriend gets tobe mad about it. be nice and optimistic darnit#and every lady in the party has their story tied to a romantic relationship in some waytoo. l'man. at least melia got her moment in fc#and its like. its odd bc I dont really DISLIKE any of the major 1 characters its on a scale from liking them to being upset on their behalf#like you have so many charming moments and interactions and I WANT to like you. but they just did you so dirty :((((#idk ive wanted to get that out there for a while. I have very messy feelings on 1 which is kinda ironic bc a lot of people considered it the#less controversial one for a long time lol. and it is. but still.#siren says#xenoblade#xenoblade chronicles#im constantly on my hater arc btw but I only let it out occasionally bc I am constantly worried of backlash online. I keep my bitching to#friends mostly lmao and oh do they know all about it

ᴛᴇʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ, ᴍx. ᴍᴀᴅᴀʀᴀᴍᴇ
includes: Alter & Shion Madarame
summary: A talk show interview about my famous actor husband, Shion Madarame, as his spouse Alter Madarame.
cw: selfship, swearing
wc: 1.9k / fandom: Tokyo Revengers
a/n: This is for @arozaur and @arlertslove collab, "Selfship Collab"
Tumblr media
“Thank you for being here with us Alter, it is so amazing to have Shion’s spouse here with us today, on our little talkshow.” Shaking hands I smile at the polite greeting. 
“Of course! It’s such a cute little town, I am so happy to be here.” 
“So tell us, we want all the tea about you and Shion’s relationship! Bring us back to the start, how did you two meet?” 
“Well….” 
Funny enough, we met through our high school. He was in the classic ‘bad boy’ and I was your average class president in our second year. The amount of times I was on his ass for picking fights or skipping class. I’m sure we were the schools biggest enemies. Hated him for the longest time because Shion was always itching for a fight, for someone to beat down, to steal from someone, or just get in trouble. It pissed me off. 
We just didn’t match at all, but you know what they say ‘opposites attract’. 
I remember it clearly as the day I fell for that idiot. Rain was pouring harder than the weather channel could have ever predicted, considering they didn’t predict it at all, I didn’t have an umbrella. So I was standing under the school entrance waiting for it to lighten up enough that I could walk home. But by the look of the clouds that wasn’t happening anytime soon. 
Looking around, I noticed a black jacket on the ground and a blond haired guy hunched over a small cardboard box. I was about to go over and tell Shion off for respecting his uniform, until I heard a little meow. Ignoring the rain dripping down, I stand a good distance away so he doesn’t notice me and just observe him. 
A small orange and black cat resided in the box, meowing at Shion as he stroked its back. And I just remember being so taken back by his actions, because the big rough and tough delinquent was being all soft and careful with a little kitten.
It was quite an adorable sight I must admit. And I remember my heart beating so fast I thought it was going to burst out of my chest, I couldn’t even be bothered by the rain anymore as I ran home; embarrassed at my crush on Shion that had formed that day.
“Wow, that's such a cute story! Who would have thought that Shion would have such a soft spot for cats.” 
Giggling, you nod, smiling at the fond memory that has led me to my life with Shion. “It’s been a wild ride but I couldn’t say I'd do it with anyone else but him.” 
The audience awes in unison as the talk show host puts a hand over their heart, awwing with the crowd. “That is so cute, I must admit. I love your guys dynamic! So you mention that you’ve met in high school, can I ask, how long have you been non-binary and how has Shion taken it?” Letting out a dry chuckle, I smile at the host. 
It’s funny enough to say Shion has known me when I was a female, and he was my biggest fan and supporter when I started to transition. We met when we were only 15 years old; kids really. At the time, I was struggling with my identity, so I was hyper feminine. 
You can ask Shion, I used to have so many colourful scrunchies, hair bands, bracelets and necklaces. Anything that I thought made me look more girly. But I soon realized that this person wasn’t me and I decided to change. I cut my hair shorter, coming to school on a monday with ear length hair, compared to lower back length that i used to have. 
Of course Shoin being the dummy he is, questioned my hair and asked if I was trying to look like a guy. I told him “Don’t be ridiculous, I’m just trying something new, what’s it to you?” I may have come off too harsh at the time, because he never questioned my appearance again. 
Though when I switched uniforms under the guidance of the academy, he asked me again what was going on, and that’s when I decided it was time to come out as who I was, who Alter was. 
I remember standing in front of the class, gripping my pants with almost a death grip out of anxiety. “Thank you all for your attention, I have a small announcement to make that I believe will affect all of you. Please pay attention, and ask questions if you feel it is needed.” 
Chuckling as I make eye contact with the audience, “I would like to think since Shoin has become such a star, I’ve gotten a lot better speaking in front of an audience and having people hold onto my words.” The host raises their eyebrows at me, “Did you struggle with anxiety when you were younger?” The question makes me chuckle thinking of younger me and how terrified I'd be to be talking on a live show. “Oh, for sure.” 
I came out to my class, and everyone was accepting, especially Shion; which wasn’t expected. If anything I expected him to give me shit for transitioning from female to non-binary, but he’s always been so supportive. 
The host gives a giant, tv-worth smile as they turn to the camera. “Well that’s such a cute story, now isn’t it? Stay tuned after these commercials for more stories of Alter Madarame, Shion Madarame’s spouse!” 
The director calls a break as makeup assistants run in to fix hair and makeup of myself and the host. “It’s really such an honour to be able to be talking with you, mx.Madarame.” The host cheers, as I flush at the comment, “Please you don’t have to say that, you’re honestly too kind, the pleasure is all mine.” 
“We're back on in 10!” The director calls out as we get back into position, laughing at nothing in particular as the cameras set back up on us. “Welcome back everyone, I’m here with Alter Madarame, Shion Madarame’s spouse! We’re here to hear the tea of their relationship with all the cute little antidotes!” They talk to the camera, turning back to me with the next question, “So Alter, please tell us, when Shion isn’t working or practicing for a role, what does he do?” 
Shion, being a famous actor, is often busy with work, but the rare chance he gets some time off, he adores blacksmith work. We have a little shed created just for him to work. Shion has admitted to me before that when he was younger, you know how people sleep with a bat beside their bed for safety? Shion does that but just a little more ‘Shion-y’, as he sleeps with his brass knuckles under his pillow. 
Their gold with amethyst gemstones on the knuckles in honour of me, with purple being my favourite colour. Though he’s also worked on weaponry, such as daggers, historical swords, hunting knives, etc. I can’t remember a time when he had a day off that he wasn't in the forge. Though he is very attentive to me, I adore horror movies and even though he gets scared so easily he’ll always watch them with me. 
One of our favourites to watch together is Killer Klowns from Outer Space, I love it cause it was one of my first horror movies, and he loves it cause it isn’t too scary but more on the fun side. 
A hobby that he’ll probably kill me to talk about is fostering cats. We work closely with a rescue shelter nearby, and take in the younger kittens to train them and socialize them mostly, and then send them back for families to go to. I have to admit though we did fall in love with a Russian blue cat, and ended up keeping her. You probably know her as our little Goose, and that’s where we got her from. 
Don’t tell Shion I said this but, he is such a sweetheart with the kittens. He’s so gentle and kind, it’s really making me consider kids with him just based on seeing him interact with the cats. But for now we'll stick with our baby, Goose. 
The host looks at me with wide eyes, open mouth like a fish gasping for air. “Children?!” She shouts, obviously not even thinking of any questions about it, as they quickly try to compose themselves. “Sorry, I was just taken aback. I thought you had made it very clear you didn’t want kids in any form.” Avoiding their gaze, I let out a little chuckle as I picked at my fingers. “Well you see…” 
“What do you mean you aren’t gonna get pregnant?” Shion whines out, as I sit on his thighs, massaging his back. Leaning down I pressed a kiss to his shoulder, “You know the mere thought of getting pregnant scares me, if we want kids we can adopt.” He pouts at me, though I can’t see it, I can almost feel the pout radiating off his body. 
“What’s wrong with just having pets and calling them our babies?” I mumble out as I roll off, laying down next to him. He chuckles, shifting around to face me. “Ain’t nothing wrong with that, just saying it would be nice to have a tiny human running around here, ya know?” Rolling my eyes, I just let my head hit the pillow, reaching my arm out to wrap around him as I tangle our legs together. “Cuddles?” I whisper out as he smiles, shifting to move me pressed against his chest.” 
The audience awes at the story, as the host turns to me, “So do you think you’ll ever have kids? Like human kids?” They laugh at their own joke, as I join along, “Well like I said, I don’t want to become pregnant, as it’s a fear of mine. But I can’t say I’d be against adopting children.” Smiling fondly as I think about Shion with our non-existent children. “Well that’s time, but thank you so much Alter Madarame for being here with us today! I’m sure our viewers are ecstatic to see their interview. Thank you again!” They smile out, as we shake hands, “Of course, thank you so much for having me, it was such a great time!”. 
I sigh, stepping through the door into silence. That was exhausting to say the least, I don’t know how talk show hosts do this as their full-time jobs. Just being on camera for two hours had completely exhausted me, ‘Can’t wait till Shion gets back home, for now I need to recharge.’ Thinking to myself as I grab a throw blanket and wrap myself up on the couch with our cat Goose. She purrs, coming to sit on my lap as I switch on Netflix and watching a baking show. 
Hours pass by as late afternoon turns into night. A half eaten container of chicken ranch poutine sits on the table, as I stay curled up with the cat. My eyes struggle to stay up as I nod off. Sleep starts to take over as I lean my head back on the couch, napping with the cat. The front door opens as Shion tries to slip in quietly.
Kicking his shoes off, he quietly calls out for me, “Alter? You here baby?”. Though turning the corner, his eyes widened slightly at the sight of me and Goose curled up on the couch, napping together. Shion lets out a breathless chuckle, as he joins us on the couch, grabbing a blanket to drape over the three of us. “Goodnight my babies.” Pressing a kiss to my forehead, Shion allows himself to join us in dreamland.

Shion would be so hyped up and stay up the whole night talking with us. Like canonly he’s dumb right? Well imagine getting into some deep ass talks with him ..
“Do you think we’ll find each other in every other lifetime?”
“Will we meet in the afterlife?”
Idk he gives me golden retriever vibes when he’s in love 🥺🥰
I’m a sucker for the Mandela effect ones. 💀
YES YES AND YES 🤭
He'd pose the most existential, life-altering, existence questioning questions half asleep at like 2 in the morning. I think he'd be big on conspiracy theories too, he's such a fucking dork and I love him 😭
Side note that's slightly related: @manji-hoe does that "questions early in the morning" shit and I love hate it, we're on different timezones so she messages me late at night rambling lmao

Welp, the ref lineup still isn’t done cause I haven’t drawn Shion yet, and the belated valentines I’ve been working on are gonna be like at least a month late cause I just planned three more, but what I did do these past couple weeks is start writing a fanfic and then immediately abandon it to go draw a bunch of only tangentially-related suzutsubas (except for that first pic; that’s a scene from it, albeit one I haven’t written yet), only half of which are fit for public posting (one of ‘em I could make a few edits and feel ok about posting sometime; it’s not that out there, it’s just, y’know. Hamal Cine Bad End Hyperbolic Torture Chamber. I’m usually very “whatever happens happens” about my art but if I don’t show some restraint I know I’ll end up stuck in there forever), but hey, since I’ve been teasing them for ages and finally have some finished stuff with them, take a couple Suzumii! Also gonna ramble abt headcanons under the cut (and it will be LONG)
To begin, a note abt my Len’en gender/pronoun headcanons: as a they/them preferrer myself, I’m thrilled that most people just stick with those for everyone, but I’ve developed some more detailed headcanons as I go through working on designs and I’ll generally be using those. Don’t worry though, most of them are still nonbinary and basically all of them are trans/gq. Relevant ones for this post are Tsubakura: they/them nonbinary (transmasc to some degree) and Suzumi: cis female, question mark?? (to be elaborated on); for clarity’s sake I usually use she/her for Arde and Hamal Cine individually and plural they for the system collectively (also I don’t usually use their nicknames, dunno why), but singular they for Benet (the wiki says Benny is probably short for Benetnasch so I’m assuming that’s their actual name) for reasons which will also be elaborated on (sort of).
Aaalso this clearly isn’t autobiographical or anything but I think I’m subconsciously putting a lot of myself into Suzumi because 1) we do look pretty similar (brown wavy bob + blue eyes) and 2) given their current status as both the main antagonist and the most well-known plural Len’en character (I get the impression that Hooaka also being plural isn’t super common knowledge; I mean it took me several read-throughs of their wiki page and their dialogue with BPoHC Secret Team to get what they were getting at lol) I am probably way too anxious about doing a bad stereotype. Just an observation and also probably partially why I’ve even ended up with so much headcanon for them in the first place
And before I get into the thick of it, notes on derivations from canon: I’m running with the assumption that Suzumi being a system is a relatively recent development tied to whatever incident it was that caused the falling-out, since Tsubakura is like the only person who seems at all familiar with Hamal (including Mitori/Chouki/Fumikado, but they’re more easily explained away as just having met with one of the other alters the few times they’ve interacted) even though she’s supposedly usually the one fronting. They don’t seem to know the mechanics of it though, judging by their confusion when Arde implied that she and Hamal are different people. So basically, I’ll be referring to pre-incident Suzumi as a different character from any of the other three. (Ngl I am very influenced by Dissociation Constant on that and just in general [when will my wife The One and Only Suzutsuba Fic return from the war…..]) I was also debating whether to have Suzumi have any history with the gang before starting to work at the lab/whether stuff would happen around high school or college age, cause they keep referring to everything happening “a long time ago” and I know I, a 24-year-old, feel like stuff that happened five years ago was like yesterday, but I do have the pandemic and not really doing much of anything for most of that time to reckon with so like, eh. College age makes more sense in my head and so does the dynamic of like, Suzumi was only introduced into the friend group (she was acquainted w Hoojiro and Yabu already though bc lab) because she was dating Tsubakura and since that ended, and badly (understatement of the century), they have extremely little reason to be civil with each other and also interacting at all is really awkward.
Ok now on with it! Either end of high school or beginning of college, Suzumi ends up interning at Tsubakura’s lab for college credit (Tsuba’s already practically a department head despite being like 17 or something because. Idk. Who even knows what’s up with them) and she’s like. Only wears t-shirts and jeans (bought a bunch of khakis for this job though), [reading] glasses from the men’s section, hates leaving her hair down (it’s lab safety anyways). Repressed queer in denial, you know the type. Starts interacting a lot with Mx. Tsubakura “wears short shorts that everybody thinks are actually a skirt and also uses ore and omae almost exclusively” Enraku who seems to have everything all figured out and is immediately starstruck (GIRL WHY?? they are such a mess). Lots of “do I want to date them or do I want to be them” confusion (this will be relevant later); eventually evolves into the “am I trans or just a lesbian” question (not that they would need to be attracted to women to be into Tsubakura but you get the picture), which never quite gets answered.
In any case, they do eventually start dating (Tsubakura thinks she’s cute and smart so they reciprocate), and they’re not like super great together cause Tsubakura is emotionally constipated at the best of times (Suzumi’s into that though) and neither of them are the most mentally/emotionally healthy people even back then and also Tsubakura is more or less Suzumi’s boss which is weird, but they’re kind of ok??? Tsubakura’s mom dies at some point, also they move in together (college housing is expensive), the rest of the crew at the very least tolerate Suzumi, etcetera.
And then…! [insert catastrophic event here]!! I don’t have a shot to call on this yet cause I have no idea what it could’ve been (and I’m sure it’ll get revealed at some point anyways); I’m just banking on it being something extremely not mundane and something where you could reasonably set the blame on either (or neither) party cause they sure both seem convinced the other is way worse, huh! In Tsubakura’s case at least, blaming Suzumi is partially a defense mechanism so their self-loathing doesn’t get the better of them over it (guess what the fic was supposed to be about, lol).
The worst part of all this business though is that they DON’T break up over it immediately and it just makes everything orders of magnitude worse for everyone involved. Tsubakura and Arde have hate sex MORE THAN ONCE………… they would both really rather forget about it. Hamal thinks it’s hilarious, ofc, but the less said about her, the better. And Benet… exists??? The only idea that I’m running off of for them atm is the observation that I think they’re the only character with flat black eyes other than Tsubakura/Tsurubami and the subsequent idle thought, “hey if someone malded so hard about a breakup that they ended up with an introject of their ex would that be messed up or what?” So make of that what you will. (Oh and it may have been obvious that this is what I was going for but Hamal is femme and Arde is butch and they’re constantly squabbling abt aesthetic presentation. Having Arde be straight-up male would’ve been too straightforward of an interpretation and I think it’s funnier this way)
The canonically mentioned murder attempts start taking place and I’m leaning towards Tsubakura eventually being convinced to move out even though it was originally their apartment, albeit mostly just because the wikipedia page for house sparrows mentions that they’re known to take over swallows’ nests, usually after they’ve been abandoned, but they will sometimes drive away or kill the current occupants, and that was a very fun fact to come across when specifically doing research for Len’en but idk how else to incorporate it lol. And so on and so forth up until the present time.
Uhhh is that all I have atm? I think so! Anyway, I think I finally shook out all my suzutsuba doodles (and rambling, though I do still have that fic to work on. idk whether I’ll be able to finish it though; I started strong with an extended metaphor in the middle but Iiiii’m not sure if I can successfully write my way up to it while making it make sense. Also I may draw pretty slow but I write even slower!! Eh I’m sure I’ll post some of it sometime) for the time being so I should theoretically be able to finish up my bigger projects now. Maybe I’ll have the valentines ready in time for white day? We’ll see!

Ugh sometimes I think about how Mion heavily dissociates and derealizes everything in regards to her family's abuse of her and her sister but Shion takes this as Mion being completely apathetic of her abuse and not caring about or loving her and Shion's own dissociation comes in the form of depersonalization and identity alteration. I view Shion as having OSDD and C-PTSD and an introjected part of her sister who she is convinced hates her even though the real Mion loves her more than anything and thinks she's her whole world. They cannot separate from each other and see themselves as the same person but because of this their love will never reach each other because that detachment and distance is necessary to take accurate stock of each other as full, complete human beings who have their own feelings and emotions. Shion can't help but project her own self loathing onto Mion because she sees her as herself. She can't just see Mion as Mion with her own psyche and complicated set of emotions. It's so tragic that they're doomed forever just by their nature of being identical twins.
