God I love Sai Nanami but

Manga Spoiler

↓↓↓

I'm not ready to see the misunderstanding flashbacks with Ryusui :(((((( he looked like a kicked puppy and it just breaks my heart, I can barely imagine how guilty Sai must feel I hate this show

IM GOING TO CRY LIKE A BABY

I love Sai Nanami

So much

Talking about fantasy and horror themed stone world! What if some humans during the perrification turned into mythological creatures? What creatures you think Senku, Taiju, Yuzuhira, Gen, Tsukasa, Ukyo, Ryusui, Francois, Xeno and Stanley or other characters would have turned into? Would they had turned fully into these creatures or only gaining some traits? Also would being petrified again turn you more into this creature and get them to loose their humanity entirely? Your post truly got my gears moving now!!!

Getting transformed into something is a process that isn't always all or nothing. It depends on each person's ability to fight off the magic being cast on them. As for re-petrification, so long as they maintain enough of their humanity, being turned to stone would in theory fight off the lingering magic. However, if they turn completely, they're no longer human and therefore have no hope of being petrified again.

That's not to say there aren't spells that could fix them, but they'd have to find someone who can do that, which may not be as easy as it sounds. If we're basing this on the magic system I built instead of classic fantasy magic, it's more of a cosmic horror type thing that will definitely leave them all scarred in some way or another.

Now! The list! Most of them are classic mythology and some characters might get the same creature, based on their general attributes.

Senku: Kitsune

Fox spirits known for their high intelligence and occasional tricky nature

Yuzuriha: Elf

Not in the Tolkien way, necessarily. Known in many tales for their beauty, wisdom, and crafting skills

Gen & Francois: Fairy

They're both tricksters and helpers in most mythology, which fits them both pretty well

Tsukasa & Taiju : Griffin

Griffins are creatures of power and protection, that should speak for itself

Ukyo: Naga

Creatures known in some mythology for peace and wisdom who will absolutely wreck you if you piss them off

Ryusui: Dragon

Dragons are known for their greed, but also they can be surprisingly benevolent

Xeno: Illithid

Yes, like in Dungeons & Dragons. Creatures of extremely high intelligence also known for a bit of madness and desire for conquering the world and twisting it to be in their image.

Stanley: Demon

Demons are pretty versatile in myth and fantasy. But Stanley, as we know, is beautiful, intelligent, dangerous, and extremely capable of whatever he deigns to do. Also, technically, he's under contract with Xeno (whether personal or professional it doesn't matter a contract is a contract)

read yours text of stan and nicotine addiction!!!! reminded me one comic i sae where stan smoke too quickly his fresh stash right away. xeno had not produced more so stan coped by kissing xeno to calm his nerves! how you headcanon stan coping his addiction?

Stanley hates every second of it

He has to keep himself busy

Especially his hands

Definitely finds things to chew on

Sticks, plants, you name it. If it's safe to have, it's between his teeth.

When the shakiness and anxiety that come with nicotine withdrawals start to get to him, he goes to Xeno

The two work together to help Stanley

It only takes four weeks at most for the human body to shake off nicotine withdrawals

So they only needed a temporary solution

They try making gum, but it doesn't work out

Xeno encourages Stanley to find things to do with his hands to help keep his mind busy

This ends with Stanley's hands in Xeno's a lot

"Just hold them still for me, it's easier."

Has definitely kissed Xeno more than once to soothe himself

Though, they have to be careful with this

Because Stanley can be a little aggressive when this happens

And the whole workday can be thrown into chaos when they inevitably end up too distracted to do anything else

@vega-theythem @veggiefritterz @strongest-knight @elpendejomanolo

You already know what this is

Suffer [said with love]

He’s going to be sick. 

There’s so much blood. It’s on his hands, the ground, pouring from Manolo’s chest- 

How did this happen? How did Tsukasa fail this badly? 

He was right there. Manny was so close to him, practically in his arms!

But then-

Gods, what even happened? His mind is running so fast, he's not even sure he remembers. All he knows is one minute they were both fine, the next, Manny was choking on his own lungs.

Why him? Why the one person Tsukasa had finally started truly opening himself to? What kind of cruel universe gave him someone to love, only to take him away so violently?

The sound of Manolo gagging snaps him back to full attention. The man lying below him has little light left in his eyes. He wasn't going to make it, not even if Tsukasa ran as fast as he could.

So instead, he just gathers him in his arms, and pulls him close.

"I'm sorry," Tsukasa says, a sob breaking from his chest. "Manolo I'm so sorry."

His dying companion gasps, breath coming in broken wheezes. He mumbles something in Spanish, but Tsukasa can't really understand it. His words are too heavily slurred.

"I'm here," Tsukasa says, hoping to give him some comfort. "I won't leave you to die alone."

He shouldn't be dying at all.

A hand, shaky and far too cold, reaches up and weakly caresses Tsukasa's face, pulling another pained sob from the warrior.

Tsukasa leans down, pressing his lips to Manolo's. They're just as cold as his hand, and trembling slightly. Tsukasa can taste the blood splattered across them.

"Manolo I-"

-

His whole body jerks as he awakens suddenly, his breaths coming hard. Tears were in his eyes and pouring down his cheeks.

A dream? Had it really just been a bad dream?

Maybe he should check on Manolo, make sure the other man was alright. That would certainly give him some comfort.

He rushes outside, letting the cool air soothe his nerves and calm the nausea in his gut. It's late, everyone else has long gone to bed. Everyone but...

He moves without thinking, taking his steps quickly and without any hesitation.

Manolo turns when he hears Tsukasa approaching, smiling at him in the way he always does, whether he realizes it or not.

"Hey 'kasa, can't sleep either-" Manny's words are cut short when Tsukasa gathers him in his arms, pressing him as close as he possibly can.

"W-wha-"

Manny is stiff in his arms, but he's warm. He's alive. Tsukasa can feel his breathing, can feel his pulse thrumming under his skin.

He's alive.

So

Hi server mother you know why im here

But

@elpendejomanolo x @strongest-knight hehehe

Maybe like what you think theyre first kiss would be

Screaming over this right now

There are two ways I can see this going happily:

Totally by accident

They're just sitting and talking

Manny is working on something in one of his notebooks

And Tsukasa just leans over to look

They both happen to turn their heads at the same time to say something to each other

And their lips touch

It's just a graze, but it has both of them scrambling away

Faces redder than the brightest tomatoes

"I am so sorry-"

"No no I'M sorry-"

They're both flustered and anxious because holy shit

That really just happened

Neither knows what to do in this situation

Do they part ways?

Talk about it?

Avoid the topic for the rest of their natural born lives and just pretend it never happened?

No, this has been building for a while now

Both of them know it

If they leave things as they are, they may not get another chance to admit their feelings for one another

Tsukasa clears his throat

Manny shuffles anxiously

They share a look, both understanding that what is about to happen is going to change their lives forever

Tsukasa reaches forward, the braver of the two

He takes Manny's face in his hands, and leans in

The kiss is nervous, and a bit awkward

But the longer they're pressed together, the more natural it feels

Like they were meant to be connected like this

Arms wrap around each other, bodies are pulled tighter against the other

Then someone calls their names, and they force themselves apart

They stare at each other for a long time, still a bit bewildered

They're called for a second time

"We should...talk about this later."

"Uh-huh yeah okay."

Manny's knees buckle, nearly fainting from the shock of it all once it really settles in

But Tsukasa catches him, and carries him back to the village

Entirely on Impulse

It happens in a moment of pure adrenaline

After something happens that has the whole kingdom of science in a moment of chaos

They see each other from a distance, and both just starts running

They don't care where they are, or who can see them

They're just glad the other is okay

Once in reach, they grab at each other

Hands in hair and fingers dug into clothes

And they just crash their lips together

They kiss until they can't breathe

Only separating when they both are desperate for air

Someone whistles

Senku groans that he owes Gen money

They don't get time to discuss what just happened, not for a few days

Tsukasa keeps a distance, still reeling from what he's done

Manny panics about it

Eventually, they're shoved together in a room totally not by design (Senku says, lying)

And are forced to confront their actions and feelings

The kiss that comes after is more intentional, if not a bit hesitant

So, going onto the magic/ old horror that came back from after the petrification, what if Ukyo had an s/o who was a sirens or a Selkie who had waited for him. Maybe they had found his statue and thought a cruse was placed on him and spent all those thousands of years trying to find a way to cure him. When they set out to sea onto the perseus, she swims up to see Ukyo and other humans free from stone. The reunion would be sweet, but everyone has a question for the Navy Sonar who has a partner who is very much not human, lol

Let's make this hurt more shall we

Ukyo meets her while in the Navy. Humans at this point are so widespread, that the Things from Before, like mermaids for example, have all long since hidden. But he's off duty for a week, and is enjoying some time at a beach near where he's stationed.

It's hard for him to grasp, that something like her could exist, but he spends night after night looking for her, talking to her, and just enjoying being around someone who speaks softly.

He'd confused her for a siren at first, but she'd kindly corrected him that no, sirens were more like close cousins to mermaids. But she understood. Humans never could tell the difference.

They were together when he turned to stone. She didn't understand. What kind of magic was this? Why had he frozen?

But, like all the other Things, she eventually moves on, returning to the sea with a broken heart.

Then, just like that, 3700 years pass in the blink of an eye. Some humans return, but they aren't her Ukyo, so she has no interest. She stays far in the ocean, away from the statues that remind her of the day she lost her love.

Ukyo, once awake, is desperate for a way to find her. He had no idea how long something like her lived for, but something in him told him she was still waiting. It's a true relief that he's granted passage on the Perseus. It's his chance, the only one he may ever get. He sits at the stone world radar, watching and listening.

Then one night, he hears it. Laughter. But not just any laughter.

Her laughter.

He'd know it anywhere. The sound of it was etched into his brain years ago. He all but throws himself out of his chair and races up to the deck, following the noise. She's off to the left somewhere, he knows it.

Pressing himself against the railing of the ship, he yells for her. He doesn't care how crazy he looks, Senku has a siren on the ship for God's sake.

His voice echoes across the water, and the laughter quiets. Then, so softly, whispered on the wind, he hears her voice again.

"Ukyo?"

I'll have you know most of these kinda thoughts happen while working awake graveyard shift, going to class in the morning, then sleeping and not remembering that I sent these 😂

Speaking of which it's time to crash for extra sleep rn class is canceled I can sleep extra 🫡

But know one day I'll be back with more bad news or unhinged

IS THAT A THREAT??????

HELLO????

I just had the realization that here soon I'm going to get to see

[mild manga spoilers]

Sai Nanami animated in all his beautiful glory and I will not apologize for the person I am about to become

Hi so my nsfw headcanon for Senku is that he is ever so slightly, like really low-key sadistic. Overstimulating his s/o, enjoying the whines a tiny bit too much. Pinching their cheek a second too long and with a tad of noticeable pressure. Never hurting them, but maybe causing a little sting. He just loves the reactions, scientists do that usually, right?

(At least he gives me those slightly mad vibes when he gets all insane about terribly dangerous chemicals.)

I could see that, though he definitely doesn't want to actually harm his partner in any way for real, so every pinch and poke is carefully calculated.

Playing with different sensations is a thing for him, I think.

A personal headcannon of mine is that everyone who was petrified the 3700 years are all on varying degrees of touch starved, some might be more clingy or used more subtle touches around people. Especially for significant others, family and friends, now take that and applied it to the main who now is sperate from their s/o who by themself again but having the whole weight in getting the revial fluids or else. 😬

I imagine the like Suika they began to imagine their friends/family and their s/o encouraged them to continue that they'll be there supporting them, when ever they feel down. Heck, even just spending some time hugging the status or even rambling on how their day was to try to maintain some sort of sanity 🙃

Hey friend, everything I say next is out of love,

We gotta have a talk about you breaking my heart every time you're in my ask box because holy shit

But you're so right and I hate it :')

Just imagine it. You go 3700 years trapped in stone, then when you're free you either reunite with your partner or meet them in the stone world and you can touch and be touched and have that kind of physical comfort

But then it's taken from you

Again.

And you have to try to figure out how to make revival fluid all on your own while without true companionship. All you have is your own voice, and the statues of the people you love most for company

Anyway I'm somehow even more sad about this now

Hi! This is my first time sending any kind of fic request to anyone, but do you think you could write something StanXeno where Stanley accidentally shoots himself?

So sorry if that's strange, I live for characters suffering. It sustains me like some kind of demon feeding off fear.

A 16 year old Stanley learns the hard way about a concept we like to call: The Bullet Fairy

Don't play with firearms, kids.

“Should you really be playing with it like that?” Xeno asks, frowning as Stanley twirls the pistol around his finger like some TV cowboy. 

“It’s fine, it’s not loaded,” Stanley says, flipping it around his finger again. “Plus it’s just a .22, it wouldn’t do much.” 

“Caliber of the bullet aside, you still haven’t checked the-” Xeno’s words are cut short by a loud pop and a yelp from the boy in front of him. 

Curse after curse spills from Stanley’s mouth, the gun quickly being abandoned so that he can drop and inspect his foot with shaky hands. Xeno dives forward to join him, helping to take his shoe and sock off so that they can both get a look at the damage. 

“This is why I said to check the magazine,” Xeno says. “Now you’ve gone and shot yourself.”

“Oh shut up!” Stanley snaps, maintaining a surprising amount of calm despite the situation. “Shit, you’re gonna have to take me to the hospital.” 

Xeno frowns. Him? Drive? Stanley knew perfectly well that he didn’t have his license yet, and wasn’t scheduled to take the test for it for another few weeks. If they got pulled over, they’d be in serious trouble- emergency or not. 

But on the other hand, an ambulance was an extremely expensive call to make. Stanley’s parents would kill the two of them once that bill came in the mail. 

“Alright,” He says, feeling a bit hesitant. It wouldn’t be his first time behind the wheel, as he’d been preparing for a while, but even still. The whole drive, though short, is nothing short of nerve wracking.

The hospital staff are quick to help them when they arrive. They stick Stanley in a wheelchair, and sweep him off into the Emergency Room, with Xeno on their tails. He wasn’t going to leave his boyfriend alone to deal with all this, even if it was Stanley’s fault in the first place for not being smart and checking the magazine and chamber for stray bullets. 

He tries to convince the doctor not to call either of their parents, but since they were both still minors, his pleas go ignored. 

“My dad’s gonna kill us,” Stanley groans, a little high off the low level pain meds they have him on. The bullet, thankfully, had been easy to remove. 

“It will be alright, Stan,” Xeno says, taking Stanley’s hand in his and pressing a kiss to it. His partner groans again, curling his nose in fake disgust. “At most, I’m sure we’ll just get a lecture.”

“I’d rather just shoot myself again.”

“Not funny, Stanley.”

I saw about the s/o being the only one unpetrified if it helps 4 of those years were in stone, while the other 3 was spent trying to make the revival fluids ;-;

Helpful, but I'm still sad about it

Like, Senku only went at most six months by himself. But three years? Imagine what that would do to your psyche. You wouldn't be the same after that. It's a miracle that Suika came out as well adjusted as she did :')

Okay, so I saw a post on How Gen was originally supposed to be the one unpetrified instead of Suika. But how both Boichi and Riichiro Inagaki changed it to her because it will hit people more in the feels in an interview. Now I'm just thinking of the different possibilities of what if; one that kinda stuck is what if it was one of the cast s/o, like senkus, ukyo, Gen, Tsukasa or even Kohaku. Like bro the feelings it would be after those 7 years of being petrified and coming back to be the only one who came back

OKAY BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME

The absolute heartbreak. It's one thing to have to make revival fluid on your own, it's another thing having to do it while your lover is trapped in stone.

Imagine the first day Senku wakes up, his eyes landing on his significant other who's seven years older now. The tears, the yelling, the hug.

I'm gonna go lay down and cry

Can I send a nsfw headcanon I have for Senku? My apologies, I'm not sure if you're comfortable with that

You can send it, I don't mind. I just might have comments about whatever it is

Can you make a fic of tsukasa and gn reader having their first time after restoring the world and I know I'm asking too much but you could also do some headcanons since they meet and how they starting to dating post and pre purificación.

Please<3

Fun fact: Tsukasa Relationship Headcanons was on my list to do soon, so I'm gonna use this chance to do it now :3

Relationship Headcanons: Tsukasa Shishio

SFW

You meet entirely by chance

You're at the hospital visiting a sick family member, and end up running into him in the hallway while he's going to see his sister

The two of you say polite hellos, and move on

Not expecting to see each other again

But you do

You meet in the lobby, the cafeteria, and again in the hall

Eventually, you jokingly ask if he's stalking you, which has him stunned and a bit flustered

Your relationship starts slow, little more than friendship and shoulders to lean on when things seem dark

He invites you to see him fight, and though you don't always go due to conflicting schedules

He always brightens up when he sees you in the crowd

You become an official couple on a random Tuesday after school

He just drops the question on you when the two of you meet in the park by the hospital, and you agree without a single second thought

He becomes rather protective of you, which gets worse post-petrification

Not a big talker, but is a big listener

Loves him some quality time

Not great with touch at first, but he warms up to it

Doesn't really get jealous easily, but does get annoyed if you tell him someone is getting too friendly

Struggles to decide whether he should wake you or not in the stone world

One one hand, he missed and needed you

But on the other, he's not sure you'd love him the way he was now

He finally decides his want of your presence is greater than his fear, and frees you from the stone

Follows you around like a lost puppy

Has to sleep either with or near you, otherwise he can't be at peace

You're the only one who isn't the littlest bit afraid of him

And honestly, he needs that right now

You're the first person who is introduced to his sister when she is revived as well

The two of you are fast friends, and you take excellent care of her

Which just makes him fall for you even more

NSFW

Your first time together is probably once the world is stabilized

The two of you are in your home, quiet and comfortable

He looks at you, takes your hand, and just asks if you want to try it together

You're the only one he's ever wanted, and he can't imagine having anyone else

It's slow and a little awkward, but you two get the hang of each other easily

But once he's had you once, he can't get enough of you

Will come up behind you, peppering kisses down your neck and shoulders, hands roaming your body in places that make you shiver and moan

Likes having you on top of him

He's always the one overpowering others, so he loves it when you push him back and take the lead

Let his mind melt a little

Doesn't like to be rough with you, at least, not very often

Shower! Sex!

Can, has, and will join you in the shower and press you against the wall

Very gentlemanly about aftercare

You don't have to get up and do a thing, he's already getting towels and water and whatever else you need

Wants to just be close to you afterwards, so expect lots of skin to skin cuddling

Could live the rest of his life buried inside you and not have a single complaint.

hey red! i had an idea for a fanfic…stanxeno taking in a teen reader where with the stone age rolling around and their parents being god knows where, they start to sort of treat them like their own? domestic wholesome found family type of vibe. i would love if you incorporated the reader being a bit of a science nerd as well so that kinda kicks off stan and xeno letting them stick around? sorta like a “if you have something to offer, you can join us” type of thing. then it could transform overtime into them feeling fatherly over them. random thought as well lol, but i feel like they would be such protective parents, especially stanley. i hope you’re doing well! thanks!

Stanley and Xeno are certified girl dads

I had to cut this short but I have so much more to say about this LET THEM BE FATHERS

If anyone asks, Stanley Snyder does not like children. He doesn’t hate them, per se, but he has absolutely no interest in them whatsoever. He doesn’t want kids, he doesn’t need kids, he’s perfectly fine with his life as it is. 

You’re an exception, not the rule. 

When you woke up, entirely on your own like some kind of marvel, and wandered into the colony, no one knew what to do. Xeno picked at your brain for hours once you were clothed, fed, and settled, and Stanley just sort of hovered nearby. 

He didn’t try to be your friend, or anything like that. He just sort of existed in your space, and you drew him to you like a star does a planet. And where Stanley orbits, Xeno soon follows. 

Xeno does like children. Not enough to ever consider having his own, but he always thought them to be elegant little things. The perfect way for humanity to pass on its knowledge for the future. 

He takes on a sort of mentorship role for you. You had an interest in science, and proved yourself to be viciously smart. The two of you even had an extended conversation about the aesthetics of the periodic table. 

You thought it was the ugliest thing you’d ever seen, while he thought it perfectly elegant. The discussion ends in an impasse. An agreement to disagree.

But mentorship was all he’d intended. Nothing more. He’d wanted to keep a healthy distance between the two of you, to keep you at an arm’s length. It wasn’t that he disliked you, he just wasn’t made to be anything close to a father, or anything similar. That was a role fit for someone like Byakuya Ishigami, not Xeno Wingfield. And yet, the universe does act in the most interesting of ways. 

The change starts for Stanley when you’re caught crying in the middle of the night. 

You were by yourself, sitting by the water, all curled into a tight little ball. You hadn’t even heard him approaching you, your sniffles and soft weeping acting almost like a summoning for him. 

He doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t know what to say. He just sits next to you, lifts his arm, and lets you collapse into his side. You babble apologies for the tears and snot, but he just shrugs it off. A few tiny stains on an all-black outfit meant nothing to him. 

You end up crying yourself to sleep. 

When you wake up that next morning, you’re in bed. You don’t remember how you got there, but Stanley must have carried you up and taken care of you.

In fact, after that night, Stanley keeps taking care of you. 

He gets protective, hovering around you almost as much as he hovers around Xeno. He picks at what you’re wearing with a curled nose if it’s too revealing, scolds you for not eating or drinking anything after long periods of time, and is always there to listen when you need him to be. He also sits, patient and quiet, and lets you do his makeup. 

It was a thing that was just for fun, at first. You’d been bored, and he’d been available to bother. You and Xeno had been making cosmetics just for the hell of it, and you’d asked Stanley to sit and be your model. He’d huffed and made a big deal about it, but he’d sat down and let you have your way. Since then, it’s become normal.

Xeno’s change in perspective came on a quiet afternoon. 

He had you working on something non-essential. Mixing some chemicals and testing reactions; it was information he’d need later for other things, but it was mostly to keep you busy. As the two of you worked in pleasant silence, you let out a long sigh, prompting him to ask if you were alright. 

“Yeah,” You mumbled. “It’s just…it’s nothing.” He frowned, pausing in what he was doing to give you his full attention.

“Tell me. It’s my duty as your mentor to help you where I can,” He says. The frown on your face deepens, your eyes flitting to look at him before refocusing on the chemicals in front of you. 

“I just…this is gonna sound so silly but…I’m having a lot of fun, and that kind of made me sad,” You say, voice getting softer with each word. 

“Why would something like that make you upset?” He asks.

“Because this is the kind of stuff I used to do by myself. And now I have both a mentor and someone who wants to actually do science with me. It made me wonder if this is what it felt like to have a dad.” 

The room falls into silence as he processes your words. He’d never considered your family situation before. You’d adapted to the stone world so quickly, he’d nearly forgotten you were so young. Just a teenager. A child. 

A child whose parents were nowhere to be found. He wasn’t even sure you had any, given what you’d just said.

“Have you been thinking of me as a father?” He asks, hesitant. He’s not sure what answer he wants to hear, but he has a strange sense of anxiety that vibrates through him when you think a little too long about your reply. 

“Kind of,” You mumble. “If…that’s okay.” 

The warmth that spreads through him is something unexplainable. It was like he’d just been given the best gift in the world. What an odd feeling, he thinks, for a man who’d never wanted children of his own. 

“Of course,” He says. “I’m honored.”

Your expression brightens, a big grin spreading over your face at his words. The rest of the afternoon is spent making idle chatter while you two continue to work. When he returns to his and Stanley’s living quarters that evening, the two of them have the most important discussion they ever had and ever will have.

Hey, do you think ryusui would want witch!reader in the ship? I can totally see him wanting magic to himself, but why conquer magic when he can get a hole witch for him! It's much easier

Oh absolutely.

Ryusui wants everything, but even he knows there are things he just can't do. So he'll happily covet the next best thing: you

Wait about witch reader... I think after the shock senku might thinking it was psychic, it's more logical how human brains can do it if get trained or gifted for some people. The most common one is telepathy (which some have especially between a twins) or telekinesis if get trained enough...

Ohh witch!reader definitely can be equal to several man's power if they can do telekinesis

(Sorry this is rambling, and I understand if it's not make senses at all)

Never apologize for rambling at me I love it

Once magic is confirmed to be real to him, he would be all over all types of magic.

How do they work?

Can they be measured?

Are power levels a thing like in media?

His entire perspective of how thr world works has shifted, but that just makes the science of it all that much more fun to him.

Hello! This is 🦐 annon here!

I have made this request before for another writer but I wanted to see different visions on this.

Imagine a witch reader that has a connection with nature and uses it to help the Kos while not caring about keeping her nature a secret. In the meanwhile, senku notices this but tries to get a logic explaining every time because for him there is no damn way witches existed all the time and no one really notices. So one day while Perseus is almost finished, reader asks to borrow the ship for just one night, and when Ryusui asks why, reader just says: "oh, I want to make a protection spell so your journey won't be hard in the sea!". Senku hears that and ALMOST says it's illogical, but this idea pop in his mind that he just waits until the night and follows reader to the ship, trying to figure out this magic witch thing. Just to get completely shocked when he saw the true nature of a witch in her action, the power that floats around reader while she cast the protection spell on the Perseus.

Don't know how to flow after that, it's up to you! Hope you have a great day!

Hello shrimp anon!

This fits so well with my horror/fantasy AU because magic would totally be more effective in the stone world

Old spirits and creatures from folklore he could accept. This was the stone world after all. Once humans were no longer an issue, anything that had been hiding from them was sure to start coming back around. 

But magic? That was harder to believe.

Physical beings could be studied. If they were intelligent, they could be interviewed. But magic was little more than a concept. Something that was just science mixing with superstition. There was no evidence that it was-or ever had been-real. But it made you happy to believe that you could do it, so he just let it go.

“Ryusui!” Senku’s head turns at the sound of your voice. It was getting late, everyone needed to get some sleep so that tomorrow could go smoother. He watches from where he was sitting a short distance away as you walk with a little extra pep in your step right up to the captain of the Perseus. 

He doesn’t hear what’s said between the two of you, but whatever it is has Ryusui’s eyebrows rising, one of his big, slow grins spreading over his face. 

“Of course!” Ryusui yells. “I want it!” You laugh, your head nodding in agreement. Then you turn, and walk off. 

“What was that all about?” Senku asks as he approaches the other man.

“They’re going to put a magical barrier on the ship!” Ryusui says. “I’m not totally sure I believe in all that, but when we’re on the open sea, we’re going to need all the help we can get. Am I wrong?” 

“No, you’re not wrong,” Senku says. It was just something you were doing to make yourself feel better about the long journey ahead, and nothing more. 

Wishing Ryusui a good night, Senku wanders the direction you’d gone off in. If you were going to mess around the ship in the middle of the night, you should at least have someone nearby in case something happened. Besides, he would be lying if he said he wasn’t at least a little bit curious. He’d never actually seen you cast your spells before, so he wondered just what went into something like this- whether it was real or not. 

He trails after you quietly, and you either don’t notice him or don’t care, as you never once look back or try to speak to him. Maybe you were mentally preparing yourself, reciting your spell in your head so you didn’t stumble over it. You could be making a list of things you had to do, or what you needed in order to accomplish whatever it was you were planning. 

He appreciated your meticulous nature. 

When you reach the Perseus, you sigh out a soft ‘okay!’ and start up the ramp, hands digging through the little bag you always kept on your hip for your ”spellwork”. He follows you up onto the deck, and finally speaks up.

“So, what’s the plan here?” He asks, watching you stoop down to draw something on the wood with a piece of chalk. 

“Protection spells are usually really easy for me, but this one has to be big, so I’ve gotta make sure I do it right,” You say, not fully answering his question.

“Anything I can do to help?” He may not be a believer, but you two were on the same team. He had no issue helping set up candles or tying herbs together for you. 

“Um,” You pause, standing back to your full height and putting your hands on your hips. “Actually, yes. Can you come hold something for me real fast?” 

“Sure, alright,” He says, following where you point him to. Once in position, you pull that something out of your bag. The one thing you don’t let anyone look at too closely. 

Your spellbook is heavier than he’d expected, and he nearly drops it when you dump it in his hands to hold for you while you open and flip through it quickly. It takes everything he has not to stare at the pages of formulas and try to work them out. 

Magic sure looked a lot like math in several places. But you turn the pages too quickly for him to gather much information. He makes a mental note to try to convince you to let him see it again another day. 

“Oh- this one!” You stop at a page within the first quarter of the book. Smoothing your hands over the page, your eyes dart across the stone age paper, muttering under your breath as you read your own scrawled notes. Once satisfied, you take the book from him, slapping it shut and shoving it back into your bag. 

So, it was more of a reference book than anything else. Interesting. 

“Okay, so,” You take a breath, stepping into the middle of your lines of chalk. “This should be super fast.” 

“Anything I need to do?” He asks. You shake your head. 

“You can just stand there and watch.” 

Fair enough, he supposed. Though, it wasn’t like anything was going to happ-

You close your eyes and inhale a long, slow breath. The air around the two of you changes, the breeze whipping around you and tugging at clothes and hair. It wasn’t anything crazy, but it was enough to get his attention. 

His heart beats hard in his chest. Even though there were no bright flashing lights or words spoken, he could feel the shift in the world around him. The way the wind swirled around you, how the water calmed to near perfect stillness, and how the trees seemed to stretch their branches towards you, reaching for you as if to give you their power. 

When you exhale and open your eyes, he’s not even sure he’s looking at you anymore. Your gaze held something in it he’d never seen in another human being. Hell, even the spirits he’d been having to shoo away from everything for the past few years didn’t look like that. 

His mind races, trying to find a reason for everything. Maybe the weather was having a sudden turn, or maybe he was exhausted. Maybe he’s even inhaled something and is massively hallucinating. 

But something in him, something deep in his blood and under his bones, told him that it wasn’t that simple. That what he was looking at had no logical explanation. That magic had no logical explanation. 

He’s still reeling from the experience when you put a hand on his shoulder, startling him. 

“Hey, you okay?” You ask, worried. 

“What just…” He doesn’t know what to say, or what to do. A smile creeps onto your face, slow and knowing. You pat him on the shoulder before reaching to take one of his hands and start pulling him along with you back off the ship.

He looks back over his shoulder, eyes catching sight of the lines of chalk you’d just been standing in. He watches as they fade into little sparkles of dim light, each speck sinking into the Perseus and strengthening it. 

“We aren’t going to make sure it worked?” He finally manages to ask once his feet hit the dirt. 

“It worked,” You say with a soft hum. 

“How do you know?”

“I just do.”

if its not too much, can you make a fic on evil scientist senku? (and maybe the s/o and general should be seperate if thats okay TvT)

(i will send the art which affected me in this way in a separate ask, since i would like to remain anon)

Okay but that art was such a vibe and I'm totally here for Senku being a little crazy.

I did something a little funky here, but I hope you enjoy it anyway

x gn!Reader

Senku Ishigami wasn’t evil.

Evil implied that he was torturing and murdering people for fun, and he had far too many better things to do than all that. Like helping his mentor do calculations, building his rockets, and testing chemicals on rats to see how effective they are. None of that made him evil. Just passionate about science. 

That’s what Xeno told him. And Xeno was always right.

Senku in this world let himself be swept up in Xeno's darkness

Science was so powerful, it could do anything

And Senku wanted to do everything

Even if it meant twisting his morals until they were no longer recognizable

In public, he's actually pretty much the same as he's always been

Bored, a bit distant, and a little eccentric

He's still friends with Taiju and Yuzuriha, though they don't subscribe to his way of thinking

His friends are actually very concerned and have voiced their worries many times to teachers, who have just waved it off

Because to them

He's a perfect student

There's no way he's that far gone

(he is)

The stone world is like a godsend to him

No laws means he doesn't have to worry about what he can and can't do

A master manipulator and still somehow manages to get the Ishigami village on his side

The only time he thanks Byakuya for being so sentimental

He does still want the world back to some state of normal though, and is trying to restore parts of it

When he and Xeno reunite, he jumps on the offer to merge their kingdoms together

Becomes his mentor's left hand (since Stanley is his right)

He narrows his eyes down at you, unamused by your invasion of his privacy.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" He asks.

You have no excuse, you'd just been curious about what he did in his lab all day that no one was allowed to see.

You bulldoze your way into his life

Literally

The first day he meets you, you're in his lab uninvited

And that little habit of yours continues

He can't decide if you're just as twisted as he was

Or just that stupid

Xeno encourages him to take you as a better apprentice, since you seem so curious

He tells Senku it might help with his "research" to have an extra pair of hands that isn't constantly questioning what he's up to

Either way, he can't seem to get rid of you, so he let's you float around him

It was better than you messing something up when he wasn't looking

At least if he was around, he could keep you from getting hurt

Not...that he cared

...

Okay, maybe he cared a little

Refuses to admit he falls in love with you as quickly as he does

But you listen to him, and you're patient with him, and sometimes you really are as crazy as him

Sometimes crazier

You're his version of Stanley

Ah I see you add more info to the trio! But let's also add onto say Xeno plans his escape using Stanley as his scapegoat!

Stanley comes home after a long of work only to see Xeno running at him

Xeno slaps 200$ into his hands: "Apologize, my love."

Before sprinting as fast as he can out the house

In the distance

S/O: "STANLEY SNYDER DID YOU STEAL MY CROISSANT"

Stanley: *Sweating bullet* yes?

I stopped everything I was doing for this because oh my God this is hilarious.

The image of Xeno just shoving money in Stanley's hands and whispering "I'm so sorry, please forgive me," and running as fast as he can has me dead.

Stanley just stands there, holding the money with a confused look on his face, wondering what exactly just happened when-

"STANLEY [middle name] SNYDER!"

Oh. Oh no.

He manages to stay calm on the outside, but on the inside he's just:

Getting to write Stanley crashing out in the newest chapter of To the Moon and Back was more fun than it should have been.

Can you please make Senku alphabet? Sfw or nsfw, i don't mind. Thank you in advance🫶🏻

Because you asked so nicely, I did both :3

(please note that I had to look this up because I've never done one of these before so if it looks off I am so sorry)

SFW

Affection: 

Senku is surprisingly affectionate. He’s very much like a cat, where he’ll act all huffy about it, but the moment you reach for him, he’s reaching right back. 

A master of giving his partner gifts that he knows they’ll like.

Best friend: 

The friendship could start a couple of different ways, depending on whether you meet before or after the petrification. 

Regardless, once you are friends, you’re friends for life. 

Senku is a great friend. He pays attention, and cares even when he doesn’t show it. 

Cuddles: 

Big cuddle fiend, no I will take no criticism. 

Likes to lay on his back with you curled against his side with your head on his chest. 

Spooning becomes big for him after petrification, when he starts to get anxious about you vanishing due to the fear all this being a wild fever dream he’s having

Domestic: 

Senku wouldn’t mind settling down one day and having a family once things are a little calmer in the world. 

Having had to live by himself since Byakuya was gone most of the time, he’s pretty good at keeping house, even if it’s not his favorite thing to do.

Ending:

If he sees it coming, he’ll try to beat his you to the punch

Calm and casual about it, as best he can

Is extremely hurt, but otherwise accepting if you surprise him with it

Mourns quietly on his own, regardless of who ends the relationship

Fiance(e):

Senku has thought about marriage for a long time. 

About the concept of marriage, I mean

And eventually decided that, yeah, he’d like that

To have a partner by his side for the rest of his life that he can be vulnerable with and trust sounds pretty great, honestly.

It would take a while though, before he approaches the subject

A few years, at least

Marriage is a big deal, and he ten-billion percent does not want to have to go through a real divorce (what he did with Ruri does not count, he swears)

Gentle:

He’s not always the best at being gentle with his words

He knows this

He can be pretty harsh, even if what he’s saying isn’t meant to be that way

Emotions can be hard for him sometimes

Senku is pretty gentle with his hands, though

He’s used to working with delicate equipment, so he knows how to mind himself

Plus, the last thing he wants is to accidentally hurt the people he loves

Hugs:

Do not let Senku Ishigami lie to you

He loves hugs

Will a lot of times come up and just lean his body on you until you wrap your arms around him and tug him close

Likes to wrap his arms around you and bury his face in your hair or neck and just exist in your arms

I love you:

It comes out of nowhere

He says it in the most nonchalant way possible too

You’re not even sure you heard him right at first

But when you say it back, a bit hesitant, his face lights up in the same way it would if he was looking at one of his precious science projects

Jealousy:

DO! NOT! LET! HIM! LIE! TO! YOU!

Senku gets jealous 

Easily. 

Will never take it out on you

Mostly pouts and gets huffy

But if someone gets a little too close…

Let’s just say that Senku knows plenty of science tricks that he has no issue whatsoever showing off. 

Kisses: 

The kisses that everyone else gets to see are quick 

Just little pecks on your lips or cheek

The kisses that are just for you two are deeper

He’ll pull you close, and kiss you like he needs it to breathe

Little ones:

Says he doesn’t like kids

But is so good with them

He radiates big brother energy

(and totally wants some of his own one day)

Morning:

Quietly

He likes to take his time waking up and letting his brain start working

Will turn over in bed and curl around you to steal five extra minutes of time together

You take turns making breakfast

Night:

Just as quiet as mornings, usually

Night time is when he is at his most affectionate

It’s the time the two of you get alone the most often

Likes to sit with you and lean against your side, soaking in the warmth of your body

You talk about the day while you make and eat dinner

But after that it’s just lots of soft touch, murmured words, and heavy eyelids

Open:

Senku keeps a lot of things close to his chest

It takes time for him to let you peel away his hard outer shell to see the soft parts of him underneath

Patience:

Science requires patience

So it’s something he’s learned to master

Can lose his cool pretty quickly, but it’s rare

Quizzes:

Will tell you he doesn’t remember things about you

This is a lie

Senku stores away everything you say to him

And will keep it in his brain forever

Remember:

He has a few favorite memories of you

The one that he thinks of most often, is something you never even think about

It was a quiet moment between the two of you, pre-petrification

You’d been hanging out in his room, lazing on his bed while he sat on the floor next to you and worked on his rocket

And he’d misplaced something small- a screw, if he remembers correctly

He’d been so frustrated, muttering curses under his breath

Then, he feels the smallest tap

And when he turns, ready to snap at you for bothering him

You’ve got a spare screw in your hand

You weren’t even looking at him, eyes still focused on the book in your hand

When he asks where you found it, you just say

“Oh, I had one in my pocket.” 

You’d apparently started carrying little bits and bobs like that around not long after the two of you started dating

Just in case he ever needed it

It’s a memory you don’t recall, but Senku does. 

He remembers how it felt to be seen by someone, without having to ask.

Security:

Senku is fairly protective

Prefers to know you’re safe

But he also won’t always stop you if you want to do something dangerous

He might just insist on going along, or having you be accompanied by Tsukasa or Taiju

Try:

Pretends not to put a lot of effort into romantic things, but totally does

Is more motivated to do everyday tasks by you doing every day tasks

If you’re tidying your shared living space, cooking, or just working on something on your own, he’ll always get up and help or keep you company even if you didn’t ask

Ugly:

Senku, though he feels emotions pretty intensely, is terrible at showing them when it’s important

It’s like pulling teeth, sometimes

Vanity:

Senku knows he’s handsome

Won’t act all proud about it, but if you comment on it, he’ll give a smug little

“Yeah, I know.”

Whole:

In the beginning, being apart from you is easy.

But as time goes on, and he gets more and more attached

Separation becomes rare

He doesn’t want to be without you, even for the smallest of reasons

Especially post-petrification

Xtra:

Senku talks to Byakuya in the stone world

Sometimes you’re with him, sometimes you’re not

But he’ll look up into the stars, eyes searching the deep recesses of space, and talk to his dad.

Mostly done when his post-petrification depression hits him really bad

He just really misses his dad okay

Yuck:

It irks him that there are people who won’t do their own work and research

Has yelled “Just fucking google it!” multiple times in his life after an argument has gone too long

Is the person who, if he’s in a group of people for a project, and those people try to dump all the work on him, he’ll just

Put his name only on it and turn it in for all the credit

“They didn’t do any work, they don’t deserve the points.”

Zzz:

Needs extra soothing to feel safe going to sleep post-petrification

Sleeps mostly on his side

Will often radiate towards you in his sleep, seeking your extra warmth

NSFW

Aftercare:

A quiet affair

Helps you clean up

Loves post sex showers for the soft intimacy of it all

Skin to skin cuddling afterwards.

Body part:

Honestly isn’t that picky

Cum:

Will not cum inside you [if you have female anatomy] without assurance that pregnancy is not an immediate concern

If you’re protected from, unable to have, or are actively trying for kids, he has no issue

Loves the sight of it spilling over your lips after giving him oral

Dirty secret:

“Accidentally” stole some of your underwear after you did laundry at his apartment while your power was out for a weekend

You haven’t seen that pair since

Experience:

You’re his first (and preferably only)

Understands the basic concepts of what to do and how to do it, but has to be taught the smaller details

Favorite position:

Prefers when you ride him

But will try new positions as frequently as you want

Goofy:

Is not afraid to make jokes with you during the act

Hair:

He doesn’t have a lot of hair in the first place

But he keeps himself fairly well groomed nonetheless

Intimacy:

Depending on his mood, Senku can be super intimate during sex

He just wants to hold you, to be as close to you as he physically can

Likes to press soft kisses to you in moments like this

Fucking you slow until you both are so wound up he can’t help but lose control a little

Jack off:

Pre-petrification, it was a pretty regular thing

Every couple nights or so, as the mood struck him

Post-petrification, though, he doesn’t have much time for stuff like that

Get’s pent up due to being too tired to pleasure himself and will definitely ask you to do it for him

Kink:

Sensation Play

Location:

Prefers having sex at home

Bed, home office, the couch-

Can, has, and will fuck you in the lab so long as there is little to no risk of anyone walking in

Motivation:

Soft touches down his chest

Fingers tugging at his belt

That look

Sneak peaks at what you are (or aren’t) wearing under your clothes

Taking his hands in yours and pressing them to your own body, encouraging him to touch you even more

Clear and obvious consent

No:

Not into threesomes or being cuckolded

Nothing involving bodily waste

Oral:

Is honestly not the best at it, but he’s determined to improve

Loves the under-the-desk blowjobs you give him while he’s working

Pace:

He keeps a pretty steady pace through most of the experience

Has learned through careful experimentation how you like it the most

Quickie:

Loves a good quickie

Will just grab you and pull you into somewhere quiet and private and bend you over

If you don’t get to cum, he finishes the job later

Risk:

Experimentation in the bedroom is a yes

There are some things he won’t do (see above), but he’s down to try new things pretty often

Stamina:

Has average at best stamina, but a high sex drive

So long as he gets at least a little break in between rounds, he can go all night

Toys:

This man loves himself a vibrator

He likes the way it feels running over his more sensitive areas

Also likes using them on you, especially if he’s out of juice but you still need to finish

Unfair:

A menace

Will get you all hot and bothered

And then walk away 

Volume:

Not super loud

Mostly panted breaths and soft moans

Likes to dirty talk at you

Wild card:

Is a lot stronger than he looks, and can hold you down if he really wants to while fucking

X-ray:

A little bigger than average, but nothing crazy

Everything down there is well maintained and clean

Yearning:

Very high sex drive

If it wasn’t for his shitty stamina and world-saving mission, he’d be at it all the time

Zzz:

Loves dozing while having post sex skin to skin cuddles

Tries really hard not to fall asleep super fast

But if it’s late, and you’re both exhausted, he’ll be out like a light the moment you’re both clean and are snuggled back together

Not a request but a wish for you that the day is good and you can get good rest! Take it easy and give some care to yourself. Here's some tea for ya 🫖🍵

That's so sweet! Thank you!

I hope everyone gets to have time to rest and take care of themselves today. I'll share my tea~

"He starts making a mental last will and testament, and hopes through some miracle he can telepathically send it to Stanley, who bailed from the room faster than a bullet shoots from his gun. "

I wheeze! Stanley really said bye boo 💅

Stanley when he hears his or his closest companion's full government names being yelled:

The realization I had that since the American colony is somewhere in Northern California they might have access to wild-growing cannabis plants

Has me laughing

So hard.

Stanley doesn't just have tobacco in those cigarettes. That's why he's so chill all the time.

I really love your writing. Could you do a fic inspired by the song undressed by sombr about Senku and the reader (only if you have the time and the energy to do it)? "I don't want the children of another man to have the eyes of the girl I won't forget" hits HARD. A good ending or angst ending is fine with me, I just like the idea. Please remember to drink water and take care of yourself <3

is

is this a breakup song

why would you do this to me

Senku loved you. 

Even though you’re no longer at his side, you were still cemented in his heart. 

You’d wanted more when you were with him. Things he couldn’t give you at the time, that he hadn’t been ready for. Things your new lover seemed more than happy to offer up. He knows that, logically, he should move on. But the idea of trying again with someone who wasn’t you made him feel sick. 

You were the one who’d made him happiest, who taught him things about himself that even he hadn’t known. You’d been his safe space, the person he could be fully open with and never worry you were going to run away from what you saw. You’d pried apart his armor, and exposed the soft parts of himself. 

He didn’t want to have to do it all over again. He didn’t want to learn to know another person the way he’d known you. He didn’t want to lay in bed with someone, wishing it was you. And, perhaps most selfishly, he didn’t want to see you on the street with a child that had your eyes and wasn’t his.

You had every right to move on, to find someone who could give you what you wanted, and he knew that. Of course he knew that. But that didn’t mean he had to like it. It didn’t mean he couldn’t stay up all night hoping you showed up on his doorstep. 

It was the most pathetic he’d ever felt in his life. He hadn’t even felt this helpless while he was trapped in stone. You had done something to him. Broken something in him that would never heal again.

You’d loved him, and he still loved you.

hihi, dying for some ukyo soft stuff so i wanna request something😭, like we cannonically know that ukyo, after lilian, knows how to sing very well so i was thinking about ukyo lullabying reader because she's feeling down like yk being in the stone world could be overwhelming for the people of the modern world, thank youu

I love Ukyo so much (If I totally butcher his character pls forgive me)

xfem!Reader

You shift from foot to foot anxiously, hovering in the doorway to the room just beyond the threshold. You know he knows you're there, but even still, Ukyo sits with his back to you, waiting for you to announce yourself. He always did that. He always gave you the chance to speak up first. 

“Hey…Ukyo?” You say softly. He turns in his seat, a warm smile already on his face. 

“Hi there,” He says. “Everything okay?” 

Your lips slide into a small pout as you creep slowly into the room. Surely with his sensitive ears, he’d heard you tossing and turning in your bed just a few doors down for the past two hours or so. 

“Yeah…and no,” You say with a sigh. He gestures for you to come closer, a hand reaching for you as you approach. 

“What’s wrong?” He asks. 

“I just…the ship is so quiet, even though there are so many people on board. I can’t sleep, and it’s driving me crazy,” You say, intertwining your fingers with his. 

“It’s loud to me,” He says, teasing you a little. 

“Everything is loud to you.”

“Not everything,” He says. “But if you want, I can try something to help.” 

You look at him for a moment, trying to decide what to do. You’d be taking him away from his duty for however long it took to get you to sleep, which could get both of you a lecture from Senku or Ryusui. But also, you were desperate for some rest, even if it was just a little bit. 

“If…you don’t mind,” You say. 

He smiles at you again, just as warm as the first time, and lets you pull him to his feet and lead him hand-in-hand back to your sleeping quarters. Thankfully, you were one of the few with a room to yourself, so you didn’t have to worry about anyone giving you dirty looks for bringing your boyfriend back with you. 

He tells you to lay down and get comfortable, but doesn’t join you, as you'd expected. Instead, he sits on the edge of your little cot, and takes your hand in his once again. 

“Don’t judge me too much,” He says. “It’s been a while since I’ve done this.” 

“What are you even doing?” You ask, noting how his face turns a little pink in the dim lighting.

“Just trust me, okay?” He asks, clearing his throat a little. You give a hesitant nod, and squirm a little under the blanket to get more comfortable. Once you’re settled, he gives your hand a little squeeze, takes a breath, and opens his mouth.

Your face flushes at the realization of what he was doing. He was singing to you, soothing you with his voice. And what’s more, he was really good. 

As he softly sang to you, keeping his voice low so that only you could hear this talent of his, all you could think about was whether singing was something he’d wanted to do before he became a sonar operator. He seemed so at ease doing it, as if he’d sung like this so many times before it felt like breathing to him. 

You shift on the cot, turning onto your side and nuzzling into the pillow. You didn’t recognize the lullaby, but whatever it was appeared to be working a little bit. Though, whether it was the song or his presence that made you feel so at ease could be hotly debated. 

One song reaches its ending, and seeing you were still awake, Ukyo starts another one. This song was more familiar to you, but it felt so different coming from him. There was something in his voice, something in the way his eyes occasionally flit across your exhausted face, that made the moment feel perfectly intimate. This was just for you, and no one else. 

You don’t remember falling asleep, but his voice follows you into your dreams.

The Snyder Siblings: A History in Complication

I felt like doing some Stanley and OC stuff between the requests in my queue and inbox

(this only has to do with the lore within To the Moon and Back and nothing else I've written for Dr STONE)

To start,

Stanley Snyder loves his sister. She is the light of his existence, and he would tear the world asunder for her.

Now, with that out of the way

Stanley and Odie's relationship is broken. It's cracked, and parts of it are shattered nearly beyond repair. If the world hadn't turned to stone when it did, they probably would never speak, or interact in any way at all, without Xeno as a mediator or messenger.

Because Odie is angry, and Stanley is avoidant.

He doesn't want to think about how he's failed her. He doesn't want to think about how all he really had to do after leaving for the military was write a letter, or make an occasional phone call. He doesn't want to think about how he left Odie sobbing while she was eight years old and begging him not to leave her behind.

Because if he thinks about it, he regrets it. And regret means confronting the fact that he's a failure.

Stanley cannot be a failure.

So he avoids everything. He turns away, letting the wounds he left fester and become infected. He dumps the responsibility of caring for Odie on Xeno (who's relationship with her is a different post altogether), and runs.

And contrary to what he believes, Odie understands. It takes a few years, but she eventually gets it. He wanted out of an abusive and neglectful household, and he couldn't take her with him.

But that doesn't excuse his own neglect of her, or fix the damage he's caused. The only thing that can do that, is Stanley himself who, as stated above, is too scared to.

So Odie is left to feel resentful, and that resentment twists into vicious, spiteful anger the more time passes.

She idolized him. He was everything to her. And he turned around and left her to rot.

But when given the choice between leaving her a statue, and trying to wake her up, we know the choice Stanley made. Above everyone else that could have been more useful to them, he chose his sister.

With that choice, comes the responsibility of change. It's the one thing Xeno makes him swear to do. To change. To be better, because Odie deserved that much at least.

But the burden of change isn't just on Stanley.

Odie has to change too. She has to learn to let go, to forgive the words and actions of her brother, who isn't the same kid he was when he left. She has to pay attention, to stop pretending that she doesn't see what he's trying to do. She has to let herself be open with the person who hurt her the most, and trust that he's not going to do it again. And that's much more terrifying than staring down the barrel of his rifle and daring him to pull the trigger.

So im the person who requested the Tsukasa x Reader (Hi mother i know im supposed to be writing andi am but i just had a thought)

What if in the moment where Tsukasa took the bite for the reader-

He had been a bit too late and mReader had gotten bit instead

Hello, my child. I stopped everything I was doing for this so that you can go back to doing what you are supposed to be doing.

Tsukasa would not take that well at all.

He has a little bit of a savior complex, so the idea that he's failed to keep someone important to him safe would shatter him.

So would the way you scream.

He'd hear it in his dreams, the sound echoing in his ears for days afterwards.

Because he's certain it's his fault

He wasn't fast enough

Even though he'd been so close to you when it happened

Somehow, the threat had gone unnoticed until it was too late for him to act.

The guilt eats at him, pulling apology after apology out of his mouth

He wouldn't be able to look at you for a while

The sight of you, injured and hurting, would be too much for him

He can't even bring himself to touch you, for fear of causing more hurt
