Hi! I really enjoy your style to write and the thoughts of Dr. Stone you share with us! I especially love the idea of mythological creatures being real in Stone World!
I was rewatching Dr. Stone and noticed something in the episode where Stanley shoots the gun while Xeno watched and Stan didn't hit the target perfectly in the middle. Xeno just talked happily while Stanley observed the gun like searching a fault in the weapon itself in dissappointment until he noticed the tobacco plant.
That reminded me that during nicotine withdrawal some people may experience shaky hands and I'm just head-canoning that he's so depending on it that he isn't in his best aim without it and even after a long pause still feels the effect so Xeno assumes this is the case and that's why he guides Stanley how to make tobacco.
I haven't found others talking about this or I might have missed that entirely since that episode came out a while ago but I can't stop thinking about this detail.
To the actual request, if you have time and like the idea, would you write Xeno dealing with Stanley when he is experiencing strong withdrawal symptoms that messes up his work flow and is very dissapointed and harsh to himself about it but Xeno intervenes and confronts him?
Take your time if you decide to put this on your work pile! Wishing your weekend treats you well! ‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚.
This actually catches me at the best possible time, since most of the requests I've been working on are finished and in my queue to come out over the next couple of days.
So, here's the thing about quitting smoking suddenly from someone who's done it. It sucks. You get shaky and irritated (among other things), and even though the withdrawal eventually fades, it's miserable while it's happening.
I'm not sure this is totally what you asked for, but I had fun with it
"Dammit!"
Xeno halts mid-step, head turning to find Stanley glaring at one of the targets made to keep his skills sharp. It was late, the soldier should be preparing for bed, not lingering out here while the sun continues to fall.
"Stanley," Xeno calls, noting immediately how stiff his friend gets. Stan glances over, an unhappy expression pressed into his normally calm face.
"...hey."
"Are you alright?" Xeno asks.
Stan doesn't respond, looking away again. His gaze lands on the target in front of him. Xeno glances at it as well, frowning a bit when he notices that not a single bullet hit the center, as they always used to.
"I see." Stanley hadn't needed to say anything for Xeno to understand. "Withdrawals?"
"Guess so," Stanley tucks his hand into his pocket, letting out an annoyed huff when he doesn't find the cigarettes he was still so used to having on him at all times.
"It won't be for much longer. The human body only takes up to four weeks on average to reorient after ceasing intake of nicotine," Xeno says. "You've been doing quite well."
"Well?" Stanley asks, turning to look at him. "I'm doing well?"
"Are you not?"
"Xeno, I can't fuckin' aim," Stanley's accent slips from him as he loses hold of his calm. "My hands won't stop shakin', I can't sleep, and my fuckin' head hurts all the time! I'm useless like this!"
Xeno reels back a little, eyebrows furrowing.
"Why did you not say something? I could have been more helpful to you," Perhaps it's a bit selfish, but Xeno can't help feeling a bit hurt that his potential to give aid had been overlooked. Stanley lets out an annoyed noise, scrubbing a hand over his face.
"Because it's not your problem," He says, earning himself a hard look.
"It very much is," Xeno says.
"Xen-"
"You are my oldest friend and greatest companion, how could I not be affected by your struggles? It may not be my addiction, but your problems are, have, and always will be my problems." He leaves no room for argument, though with how Stanley's spine straightens and his eyes narrow, he knows the man is certainly ready to try.
"And, if I may add," Xeno continues, before Stanley can open his mouth. "You are the farthest thing from useless. You are the most competent person besides me in this wretched little place. I would not be able to do anything if it wasn't for you. Shaking hands, or not."
Stanley lets out a hard breath, his shoulders loosening a little as he takes in Xeno's words, mentally digesting them and allowing for them to calm his stirring mind.
"Yeah, alright," Stanley mumbles, turning back to the target. He lifts his hand, holding the revolver as steady as his hands would currently allow (which, Xeno admits to himself, isn't much), and pulls the trigger.
The bullet hits the target dead center.
"Getting better already," Xeno teases, earning himself a huffed out chuckle.
Xeno allows himself to get closer to his companion, eyes scanning Stanley's body as the man reloads the gun and starts back at his practice. It's not just his hands that shake, but his knees and breathing as well. Stanley was certainly doing his best, but he still had a long way to go before his body accepted this new state of being.
His eyes catch something nearby. A familiar plant.
The sight of it makes Xeno frown. The moment Stanley caught sight of it, he'd want it. More than anything else, he'd want the naturally growing tobacco to feed the habit he was doing his hardest to fight.
The target pings when a bullet goes astray, just barely hitting it on the very edge, and Xeno decides not to say anything.
For now, anyway.
Among the things I'm definitely looking way too far into,
Has anyone else noticed that (at least in the anime, I cannot currently speak for the manga) Senku, in all the flashbacks to the day of petrification, he has a rounder, younger face compared to how he's drawn in the "present" stone-world time?
tldr: Senku lost his entire childhood, which is why he (and the others revived) look older than they physically are and that makes me really sad
(and yes, I could make a post filled with screenshots to prove my point i'm an academic and a writer this is literally my thing.)

Anyone else you wanna see?
General:
Ryusui loves physical contact, he just doesn't get a whole lot of it
He suffers from being surrounded by people who are too afraid to really touch him due to his status or general attitude
The most affection he gets from his family is the occasional shoulder pat or firm handshake
But he wants more, and he is determined to get it come hell or high water.
The problem is that he doesn't really know how to get the affection he wants. He can't force it, or pay someone, it just doesn't work that way. He has to earn it, and with his personality, that can be hard (not that he'd ever admit it)
With His Partner
You coming along is his biggest win, in his humble opinion
You are so free with your affection, he's obsessed.
Has to be wherever you are at all times just so that he can be holding your hand, leaning on you, or smushing you as close to his body as he can without hurting you
Purposefully has a bed that's just barely big enough to hold both of you so that he can be fully wrapped around you all night
PLEASE let him lay on you while you're both naked, this man loves his skin-to-skin time (not necessarily in a nsfw way but be prepared for what that can cause this man is obsessed with you)
Lowkey gets a little huffy when you touch someone else, even if it's on accident or 100% necessary
His absolute favorite thing in the world is when you hold his face in your hands.
To the Moon and Back Prologue & first couple chapters are finally posted on AO3
In celebration: Senku's first stone world letter.
O,
It's the end of April in the year 5738 A.D.
I don’t know what happened, but I’m going to figure it out using science.
I’m going to rebuild and save everyone. Including you, I swear.
if you have time, could you do some Tsukasa x reader hurt/comfort where the reader is injured while working? totally not thinking about a certain friend's oc... no.... i would never do that...
Oh, yeah, totally. Totally not thinking about the same oc I am absolutely not
😏
This is so bad I'm so sorry I don't know where my brain went does this even count as hurt/comfort-
Tsukasa x gn!Reader
It had been an accident. The knife you’d been holding had slipped and sliced into the meat of your other hand. You hissed out curses, trying to press a clean cloth against your hand to stop the bleeding before it got too bad. But the cut was deep, and you were definitely going to need stitched together.
You’re in the middle of the simple procedure when Tsukasa comes barreling into the room.
“Hey! Careful!” Yuzuriha scolds him, but her words go ignored as he rushes towards you, hands reaching for your face.
“Are you alright?” He asks, breathless. He must have run all the way from the training field once he got the news.
“Yeah, I’m okay,” You say, pressing your cheek into his hand on instinct, seeking his warmth. Tsukasa lets out a relieved sigh, his shoulders relaxing immediately.
“Thank goodness. All I’d heard was that you were hurt, but no one told me what happened,” He says.
“Can I finish working on my patient please?” Yuzuriha huffs, though you don’t think she’s actually that mad. If anything, she looked more amused than anything. “I still need to wrap their hand up.”
“I can do that,” Tsukasa says, turning and holding out his palm for the necessary supplies. Yuzuriha sighs, and hands them over before quickly and quietly slipping out of the room with a sneaky little grin on her face. Almost like this was planned.
Your friends were getting less and less sneaky about what they were trying to do.
Tsukasa takes a seat in front of you, pulling your hand into his lap so that he can inspect the careful stitching with a frown. His eyes always held a kind of intensity, but his gaze almost felt like it was burning. It made you more than a little anxious. He was always telling you to be more careful, and here you were getting hurt doing something mundane.
“I’m sorry,” You blurt suddenly, unable to hold it in. Tsukasa looks up at you, soft eyes flitting across your anxiety filled expression.
“What for?” He asks.
“Getting hurt. Again.”
“It happens to the best of us,” He says. “I’m more worried about how this is going to affect your ability to do the things you enjoy.”
“Oh…” You hadn’t had time to think about that. With an injured hand, you wouldn’t be able to write, play music, or even help with basic tasks until you were healed. There was no way Senku would let you risk an infection.
So, what were you supposed to do now? Nothing? But how could you just sit here and do nothing all day? The Kingdom of Science needed every available hand in order to keep things moving, yours included.
What a burden you’d become. Not only were you hurt, but now you were useless too.
“Hey, hey,” Tsukasa’s hand touches your face again. You blink, a little startled at his touch and worried tone.
“Huh? Oh, sorry, were you saying something?” You ask, a little embarrassed to have to even ask. You should have been paying attention already-
“No, it’s alright. You just…looked lost for a minute,” He says softly, fingers brushing across your cheek before dropping.
“Oh…”
Silence falls between you, neither knowing really what to say next. Tsukasa grabs the supplies he was given- some ointment and bandages- and gets to work on your hand. The ointment stings a bit, but not too seriously. Just enough to know it was working.
As he works, you take a moment to focus on his hands, hoping the small distraction was enough to shake some of this anxiety you were building.
They’re bigger than yours, though to be fair Tsukasa was a bit taller. And they were warm. Very warm. You always liked that about him, his warmth always giving you a strange feeling of security and comfort.
God you liked him so much. You just wished you’d stop embarrassing yourself in front of him every time you were together. You always said or did something that made you wish a hole would swallow you up so that you could perish in peace. But no matter what, he never stopped finding and spending time with you. It made you dare to think that maybe he liked you too.
“There we go,” Tsukasa murmurs once the bandage is firmly in place. “You’ll have to change this pretty often, but I can help you with that if you need it. I know you don’t handle pain very well.”
Your face flushes, but he just gives you a warm smile, sending your heart beating a million miles a second.
“I-I can do it on my own just fine!” You say with a huff, making him chuckle a little.
“Of course,” he says. “My mistake.”
There’s another moment of quiet, though this one is filled with a different kind of tension. The kind that told you Tsukasa was measuring his next words, planning them extremely carefully before speaking.
“I was worried,” He says softly.
“I’m so-”
“Don’t apologize, I know accidents happen. But when I was told you’d been hurt, I couldn’t help but feel anxious,” He sighs, holding your bandaged hand in his gentle palm. “I think you’re the first person other than my sister to so thoroughly scare me like that.”
Great. Fantastic. Now you felt even more terrible about the whole thing. Way to go, you!
“I’ll be more careful, I swear,” You say, praying your voice isn’t shaking given your sudden need to cry.
“Good. Because if something serious happened to you, I don’t know how I’d ever recover,” He murmurs. You’re still processing his words when he lifts your hand, and presses your bandaged palm against his lips.
It’s such a small and quick action, but the kiss has your whole body heating up, your face bright red and your heart hammering somehow even harder. You needed to calm down, and fast, before you passed out. That was the last thing either of you needed after this whole ordeal.
“I-I’ll be extra careful,” You repeat. “Cross my heart! You won’t have to keep taking care of me like this!”
Tsukasa chuckles, a warm smile on his own slightly flushed face.
“What if I said I didn’t mind taking care of you?” He asks, standing and pulling you to your feet with him.
“I’d say you shouldn’t waste your time,” You say.
“It’s not a waste. Not if it’s you.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
Oho! That's such an unfortunate combination for you lmao that is if you fit your sign
If you do, it must be rough wanting to charge forward asap and simultaneously needing to take time to think things through (lol alliteration) but stressed, And hating to be stressed and getting irritated by your own anxiety.
If this fits, I'm sorry for you, but at least you're kind, mature, and funny.
I am, as my friends say, both ram and bull headed :')
Boss: I looked at your computer while you were away from the desk
Me, an author: You fucking WHAT
so do u only do x reader or generally dr stone stuff? because if its generally could i get like, platonic senkasa fluff or angst or hurt/comfort? or just like affection? anything tbh XD
SenKasa is such a vibe tbh.
Cause like, here's the thing.
Tsukasa is one of those people that I firmly believe would have ended up at Senku's side, even if the world hadn't turned to stone (Gen also sits on this list, but that's a different post).
Think of how well they fit together almost immediately. How they match each other's wavelength from the moment Tsukasa wakes up, and how even after Tsukasa believes Senku is dead, he still carries the weight of their relationship. Of what could have been, had Senku just looked the other way.
Whether romantic or platonic, they were made for each other.
Anyway, now that I've rambled about that, have whatever this is as a little treat:
Tsukasa trusts Senku without question.
Sure, there are some things that he'll raise an eyebrow at, but in the end, if Senku says it, Tsukasa is rolling with it
This goes both ways
Senku will look to Tsukasa for his thoughts on a lot of things before going to anyone else.
Because Tsukasa will listen.
He will sit and let Senku talk until he works out the solution to whatever the problem was
Senku trusts Tsukasa with his life almost more than he does Taiju, and that's because he knows that if he needs someone to fight for him, Tsukasa will do it without hesitation.
They could almost be considered soulmates, if either of them believed in things like that
They aren't very physically affectionate with each other
Their platonic affection typically comes in the form of words and deeds
Tsukasa will often carry Senku on his back when he exhausts himself while scolding him for overexerting himself
Senku just rolls his eyes, and reminds Tsukasa that he also goes too far sometimes
Tsukasa is the person who gets the side-eye from Senku when someone says something objectively stupid/hilarious but no one is allowed to laugh (we all have had those moments you know what I'm talking about)
On nights when Senku can't sleep, Tsukasa is there.
"Late night, huh?" "Yeah." Neither of them speak for a moment. "Do you wanna talk about it?" "What, are you my therapist or something?" "No, just a friend." Senku huffs out a laugh. "You ever just want to go home?" Tsukasa thinks about the question for a while, taking his time to consider what Senku is actually asking him. "If I went home, I wouldn't get to spend time with so many great people," Tsukasa says. "I'm blessed to be here with you, Senku." "Gross, you sound like you're in love with me." Now Tsukasa laughs.
I know this is cliche (i love cliche plots and details!!!) but what if xeno and stanley had partner who gets into an accident that leads them to have amnesia? Having no memory of themselve or who anyone is or where they even are like... everything is just weird, new and feels unfamiliar! Would you write stan and xeno trying to make their partner remember them again, to help them return their memories? (Write only if you have time and energy, this can wait as long as senku can count 💝)
I'm dying this is so sad and so sweet
It's bad enough that you were severely injured in a car accident. But add on the fact that you could barely remember your own name when you awoke in the emergency room, and you have two equally devastated men trying to figure out if they should mourn you or not.
After all, you didn't remember them.
There wasn't a single hint of recognition in your eyes when you saw them. You didn't know their names, nor that you'd been a part of a polyamorous relationship with them both.
But they have proof. Documents, pictures, videos, you name it. They bring you whatever you need to feel safe and comfortable with them around.
When you go home, the only place you can go is the home you shared with them. It's terrifying for you. You have no idea what's happening, or what to expect.
But Xeno and Stanley are gentle with you.
They tell you that the three of you used to sleep together in one bed, but they've set up the spare room so that you don't feel uncomfortable. They fill the kitchen with all the foods you all enjoyed together, and they take you to all the places you used to go.
The park, museums, even to Xeno's lab once or twice.
Stanley takes you to every physical therapy appointment, Xeno takes you to every neurologist. They both accompany you to general doctor visits, always waiting for you in the waiting room so no one thought you were being bullied into giving certain answers.
It's hard on them. It's hard on all of you. Everything feels so normal, yet none of it is familiar to you. You spend nights sobbing in your bed, begging your brain to just magically heal so that you could finally feel whole again. Sometimes it gets so overwhelming, you yell and shout at them only to collapse in a puddle of tears while one or both of them hold you.
But they don't give up on you. They don't throw their hands in the air and walk away. No, they love you. They swear it to you every day, even if you don't remember the past.
One night, you do something brave. You creep to the door to what used to be your shared room with them, and timidly ask if you can sleep with them. You tell them it might help to do something that was a more mundane kind of normal, and ask if they'll help you through what used to be your nightly routine.
It doesn't help the way you'd like. There is no flash of memory as the three of you shower together. No quick recognition when you allow them both to kiss you goodnight.
But for the first time, you feel properly normal. Curled between the two of them, with Stanley on your left closest to the door, and Xeno on your right, by the cracked window, you felt a little more complete.
UPDATE: Did not cry over Senku, but Stanley is definitely crashing out over my oc and I am living for it
Writing angst for an upcoming chapter of To the Moon and Back today.
Who wants to bet I make myself cry over Senku?
To the Moon and Back is out right now on AO3, chapters are posted pretty regularly.
Dear Senku,
I think it’s cool that your dad works for NASA. Mine doesn’t do much of anything.
I have a big brother in the Marines, but he doesn’t come around anymore. He’s too busy.
Do you ever miss your dad? Are you scared to be by yourself all the time?
