@gwenysklurp @ocelotlesbian yall. look at this 🥺
This guy stinks!
im so tired. anyways, two new fic releases, four chapters total, and one unfinished fic sneak peek. enjoy
aoi-chan, aoi-chan, can you find me some flowers? - SWAP AU !!
Hanako-san, Hanako-san, are you there? Yugi Amane calls upon the supernatural to help uncover the truth behind his twin brother’s reappearance. Who awaited him behind the third stall was not what he was expecting—neither was their most treasured possession. OR: Akane Aoi deals with being School Mystery Number Seven while balancing her new assistant and various threats to the school. It’s not going smoothly. Amane & Aoi-centric ♡
don’t touch . . . - MOREEEEE HANANENE
School Mysteries normally hide their presences from the humans of Kamome Academy, but exceptions must be made only if to keep their rumors alive—or, at the very least, that was what Hanako-san of the Toilet was supposed to do—because said humans seem to be noticing a certain daikon more lately, and he finds he doesn’t like it. Not at all. Just a bit of playing around would drive them away, right? However, if they don’t learn to keep their hands off his property, they shall have to face the consequences a School Mystery can serve. OR: nene is hanako’s and he makes sure everyone knows it. (badass) hanako moments are needed in this time (*stares at manga*)
+ if only i’d told you so - sneak peeks for @mysteriousmissme !!
aoi and hanako ch. 84 discussion, but longer, more angsty, and with extra lines :) also an excuse to write aoi while projecting onto her deeply + aoihana interactions. my fav tsunderes <3
omfg someone else did this??? i love it. i love this so much.
my ramble about the parallels here !
adding on:
natalie & sakura forming the tired assistants club and sakura shares tea. she swears not to tell anyone about mayura, but tsukasa finds out somehow(???), steals it, turns mitsuba’s scarf into a sentimonster and there’s an entire episode of the heroes trying desperately to defeat someone that’s wayyyyyyy more experienced than them at fighting (it ends with sakura taking over as hawkmoth with the name 'actias luna' and tsukasa just handing over the peacock miraculous to the heroes. hawkmoth is sure very mad after that)
we have LEMON AND ALYA as part of the school’s media team or something. and sousuke actually joined them for photography at one point, but... yk
nino & lemon would totally vibe. in agreement.
imagine marinette falls in love with teru. he’s like a more polished version of adrien, child labor backstory and alllllll
it’s either marinette & nene team up to help each other with their crushes OR they realize that it could be a competition (albeit they’re very friendly about it.)
IMAGINE. and there’s also a possibility of a miraculous au with aoi as ladybug & teru as chat noir... + luka as akane would be so nice
hanako would hate adrien for being the source of nene’s new crush, so watch adrien slowly get convinced he’s haunted (he’s right)
AOI, KAGAMI, TERU. with 'let it go' as their theme song, specifically the 'don't let them in, don't let them see', they are the perfect children of their families, two of them swordfighters, all of them honed liars!!! i headcanon they all cover for each other, even aoi
alix, akane, luka, timekeepers!!! + i bet rose & juleka would absolutely love babysitting mirai even if she’s a handful
akane & luka being 'unrequited love' buddies until aoi gets it together :')
I FORGOT NATHANIEL, MARC & MITSUBA?! GAYS. ALL OF THEM. AND MARC ALSO DOES ART, WHICH MEANS MEI AND SHIJIMA CAN JOIN IN, WHICH FITS MY SHIJIMA & MITSUBA SIBLING HEADCANON-
tsukasa & amane VS felix & adrien for 'most fcked up twins'. the first wins by a landslide but like
tsukasa would annoy felix so hard. amane would bond w adrien just over this, even though they’re such an unlikely pair...
we gotta have hanako (& mitsuba, who wanted chaos) mess with lila when she comes and begins to bully nene & marinette because hanako is suuuper overprotective
ms. mendeleiv arguing with tsuchigomori on science vs magic.
mitsuba & chloe form an unexpected friendship??? they can be petty together
a crack spin-off where yako, mitsuba, and audrey bourgeois get locked in a room filled with clothes or something. chaos.
... oh. this might actually work.
*adds to wips*
Kou and Adrien could bond over dead moms and abusive dads
Marinette could help Nene make a plan to confess to Hanako
Aoi and Alya could bitch about there secretive ahh besties and how everything would have been better if they were honest sooner
TERU KAGAMI EPIC SWORD FIGHT
Lemon and Nino would vibe together prove me wrong you can’t
Gabe’s the only one who’s close to death so Hanako and Mitsuba just torment him for being a awful dad, Natalie thinks Gabe’s actually gone even more crazy somehow
Alix and Akane could bond over people just breaking their magic pocket watches and also being literal children that just have insane power over reality
Chloe babysitting Tsukasa. Just that. Just picture it… The utter chaos
i cannot stop. have a character sheet
we loveeeeeee ocs with diamond eyes!! i’ve seen so many. pls share !!
i’d love to find fellow diamonds <3 my digital art isn’t as good as my traditional so as soon as i get my hands on my phone-
i’m editing my old fics rn bc i realized most of them aren’t actually open for guests to view 😭 so here we go ! if it’s old, it means it was released before this tumblr acc was made! there is a high chance of abandonment so i suggest you don’t get invested in these :’) tysm for supporting me!
(old) not meant to be - a mitsukou soulmates au <3
(old) 5+2 clubs of kamome academy - my old way of exploring character relationships! i might just release all the unfinished drafts and then stop releasing chapters 😔
the little mermaid - that one mermaid au :3
have you heard (the future from a screen) ? - the reaction fic !!!
my extra special swap au, which is going to happen in a couple hours ft. a couple other projects !!
pre-seventh spiritings/spinoff: music box arc - aoikane & sakuhiko’s time at the human palace! i needed some place to try angst... and uh... slight gore
5 times hanako had to guard nene + 2 times he didn’t have to - there’s some trigger warnings for these, please read them! nothing explicit, but it’s better to be informed.
if only i’d told you so - i wonder if you can tell that i love hanako & aoi’s interaction on the train to the far shore, because this was inspired by another fic that i can’t find and im not posting until i can give credit to the original
there’s more but,,, who cares
assassination classroom x mha - my secret pet project bc i love assassination classroom so deeply. but it’s likely never gonna be posted so-
yydc - it was so early on i forgot about it. anyways, i’m super sorry, mha fans, because this fic is basically abandoned now. oops. bye bye momo, ily but jshk is always priority 😭
we did it
both chapters are out
mostly just rambling. tysm for reading my pointless works <3
links below !!
tumblr is eating my links...
mermaids ch1 & 2 . reaction fic
... omfg yall
i found out today that some people consider amane the moon & tsukasa the sun (me included-ish) but some say the opposite? can we settle this- opinions under the cut!
we all know amane’s irises are supposed to be the moon, but personally i feel tsukasa’s eyes look like a very smol lunar eclipse, so the sun seems like a really nice choice for him (note the yellow donut he makes in his eyes. my beloved evil baby)
and i genuinely do feel that their personalities do match, up to their deaths. tsukasa shines really brightly and had many friends, amane stayed secluded and draws from tsukasa for most things (eg the moon reflecting the sun’s light!)
also, tsukasa’s kokujoudai tend to have a habit of bursting into flame (wait actually tsukasa kind of also burst into flame)
they’re like little phoenixes. i love them so much
anyways i want yall to know that no matter what ur opinion matters so
keep sharing it!! tysm for being here~
and tysm for reading ♡
bad quality warning lmao
<3 as you can see, i overuse my self-insert...
alert alert first chapter of the husband stealing mermaid au has been posted 🥹🥹🥹😭😭🥺🥺 im so nervous
it’s just a chapter to give you a feel of the current situation, lots of exposition, etc etc, so no actual scenes yet! link beneath the cut <3
anyways i really want feedback
thank you so much for everyone’s support !!
more sketches. yay!!
it’s an absolute mess because i change plans too often! but i was drawing my three fave twin braid girls (shijima, okuda, homura) and then there was the urge to do mirai... and then mirai’s unofficial elder sister (we got to talk about this more) miku, and then it became a collection of twintails and twin braids...
please keep in mind that i did not use references for most of the sketches 😔 and i wholeheartedly apologize if i flubbed up some stuff
have a nice dayyyyy
i love making au designs~ if someone has any headcanons abt madoka magica & jshk already ABSOLUTELY message me to yap!! or join the kamome gakuen discord, we have a thread of theories <33 i’d love love love to hear stuff about some possible parallels
+ pls give me allllll the mermaid au fic recs. i absolutely adore them! and if you’re a fanfic writer pls speak out i will follow you asap i need writing to live-
it’s 1am. let’s see what my adhd riddled sleep deprived jshk obsessed brain has to offer us today. expect nothing, i don’t make sense at this hour i might make this a daily thing, because my insomnia will keep me up anyways and it’s interesting what i do at night… summary: mostly just me ranting about today. and my crippling sense of self
i just cried for like half a minute and it was absolutely wonderful. highly recommend. at least an eleventh of my stress has been washed away (even if it’ll replenish extra during the weekdays).
it’s been all around horrible for the second half of the day, and partly possibly because i skipped lunch and stuff,,, but maybe because my self validation meter is running low and there’s literally nobody here to help?? maybe?
i want so badly to have an irl friend to yap about everything to. it feels too much like ive been taking all the yapping and doing absolutely everything to nod my head and listen like the open-minded person im supposed to be and barely getting to even show any of my thoughts and
it’s honestly normal to censor yourself and stuff, right? because you don’t want to let too much of it leak through and look like you’re asking for attention and such but it’s such a
what again
replace it with something you can never get (im not making sense at all) anyways, speaking of stuff i can never get, they finally found my lost computer and that’s nice, but i’ve been so writing deprived i don’t know whether i can write again, and im sure no one would notice unless i scream it to the hills anyways. wonder how i could get more people to care
and about that, it’s time to stop, but i’m on a roll so who cares
do you ever just kind of
“i want to post this” “i want to make this” “i want to do this”
“… but no one’s going to see it, so why does it matter?”
how does one break out of this? because i knwo it’s all writing for yourself but self-indulgence can only last so long (i regret making that oc so badly right now it hurts) but it’s not good for health and i know that
how do i continue this? i’ll stop. someone talk to me, i think im going insane-
two days, eight hours left!! it's a 5% difference!! vote!!
i found out today that some people consider amane the moon & tsukasa the sun (me included-ish) but some say the opposite? can we settle this- opinions under the cut!
we all know amane’s irises are supposed to be the moon, but personally i feel tsukasa’s eyes look like a very smol lunar eclipse, so the sun seems like a really nice choice for him (note the yellow donut he makes in his eyes. my beloved evil baby)

anyways i want yall to know that no matter what ur opinion matters so
keep sharing it!! tysm for being here~
and tysm for reading ♡
did i ever mention that i didn't have the time, energy, place or device to watch the past three episodes
everyone's getting the shijimei & hanako & nene & mitsukou experience without me... PAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN 😭😭😭😭
i might just die of work before even watching any of it but we must fight on,,,
good bad morning everyone
it's a picture perfect day for a (grainy, low quality, bad lighting) OC DEBUT!!!!
(and of course she's half designed to be a self-insert~ my inner cringe is showing)
say hiiiii !!
let's get to the info under the cut <3
warning: cinna backstory!
perfect day for this post, because she is the paintbrush from picture perfect arc~
i chose the paintbrush for reasons!! not just because i love it...
since she's supposed to be half self-insert, almost everything is referenced from my irl appearance but exaggerated for the artstyle!
even her legs/ankles, which are all wonky because of amane, are referenced slightly, but not as much ofc :')
i get random ankle injuries (rolling, breaking, etc) wayyyy too often... to the point where you can see that my posture's all wonky, so this is a perfect fit 😔
anyways! tsym for reading my short indulgent post <3 have a nice day!
you should’ve seen me screech in shock checking this post because IT’S LITERALLY ALMOST AT A 50/50???? AND SO MANY PEOPLE VOTED????? IT’S BEEN ONE DAY???????
yall make such good points in the comments 🥹 tysm for your contributions! i love the new tidbits i learned today <33 shoutout to everyone in the replies, go check out their tumblrs! there’s many many really nice people in this community~
adding on here that they both have their own personalities, and they don’t necessarily have to match one and only one! keep your flexibility and don’t stick to just one explanation (especially if you’re writing with metaphors! you don’t need to come up with a new way to attach the moon to amane’s eyes if you can just say they’re like suns—unless it’s important to the story! spoken from experience 😔)
we can acknowledge both sides of the debate! these two mean the world to me, and i know many others feel the same (but i cannot go three posts without calling custody. save a piece of amane, sakura & mei/shijima for me!), so let’s appreciate aidairo’s hard work all together!
tysm for reading & voting !! and ty for all your support~ ♡

miraculous, simply the best, up to the test when things go wrong! i wish for you, i wish for me~ taken from a kamome gakuen discord convo ft. @strawbes !!
arranged in order of 'mildly believble' to 'what have you been drinking'
first of all, let’s address what happens with the yorishiro first
once all are destroyed, you get a wish, and the world is destroyed too
... doESN’T THAT SOUND FAMILIAR-
world reversed, world destroyed, world remade, world time paradoxes, where in that one alternate reality the one who always fought alongside the main character suddenly went onto the side of the one you’re fighting against
watch hananene and imagine them as ladynoir with less sass (nene fits with the ladybug connotation like she fits strawberries!!)
hanako would make bad puns though...
'i'm gonna be late!!!!!!’
omfg someone write a miraculous au (me. i can help u with that.) (would love to see hakujoudai kwamis though-) (imagine ladybug doing a lucky charm and an entire elevator falls on them. think hanako)
ANYWAYS. TO THE HAWKMOTH PARALLELS.
have u heard of someone self-destructing and becoming evil-er to bring their love back to the world? that’s right. yako.
have you heard of (takes deep breath) someone who goes out and makes evil monologues with the team to change the forms of other people to grant a wish to bring someone else out into the world, while having a connection to the main characters’ items being used to obtain said wish?
(far-fetched section has started)
off track but nene’s destroying yorishiro pose is similar to lucky charm...
oh and imagine having a morally grey person that looks exactly like you and happens to visit every once in a while
we also got a token red-haired time manipulator who pops in occasionally (no luka mention,,, yet,,,)
speaking of pinkish-red-haired rabbit-related-androgynous-ish people who have personality...
i might update this later. might.
ty for reading ♡
kaboom!! take this wall of text and climb the words to the sitting area, or just let mirai, tsukasa, hanako, the mokke, mitsuba, tsuchigomori, yako, or shijima get you across—whether it be through the power of flight, wishing your way across, summoning an elevator, making a tower, extra limbs, extra-long limbs, shooting a spiderweb out of who-wants-to-know-where, interdimensional portals, flying scissors, or pulling a bridge out of a sketchbook!
(that is, if they can get out of the school :)
:)

updated ♡ still unfinished bc i’m extra...
because me and my petty self want to claim this headcanon :’)
mei and mitsuba haven’t been shown interacting aside a short time in picture perfect arc and it’s such a waste because their parallels are so absolutely interesting and i’m in love with the idea of sibling relationship shijimitsu
like
so
but
once, mitsuba tried to find a place to stay within the seven mysteries and kinda got rejected by most of them. however, the one he wasn’t shown interacting with was with shijima, and they get along together well enough, looking at their interactions in picture perfect...
not to mention these parallels;
they’re both 'fakes'. the second unoriginal versions of people who used to be alive, people who used to be there and talk to others and make an impact on the world.
their original selves were both artists. they drew what was important, immortalizing it in their photos and paintings and sketches and film. original mitsuba’s ghost took a picture of kou before getting turned into no. 3 by tsukasa. original mei drew her ideal self, in a tower, and created her second self. both these things were important to them.
their second selves were created because their original selves had a wish. to live on, and to have & stay with friends...
and slowly, their second selves started to grow indifferent to their original selves’ forms of expression. shijima seems to only draw for functionality instead of for her own enjoyment or curiosity or expression, but her art has so much more meaning now that they create more than just an impression of life—they make life. and mitsuba doesn’t even know anything anymore, amnesia go brrrr (ty @ocelotlesbian for pointing this out)
i have so much to say about how shijima’s art is being used more as a tool for convenience instead of how the original mei used it—even natsuhiko & tsukasa are trying to annoy her for stuff—and not to mention the things they could do with this ability if someone thought about it enough (she, tsuchigomori, yako & the clock keepers are so completely broken i can’t even—these are the mysteries, of course, but i’m so glad they’re passively watching everything unfold because if they took matters into their own hands it’d be absolute chaos look at the clock keepers arc)
and i henceforth i headcanon
these two siblings doing art together afterschool in an art room. do we normally see mitsuba in hanako’s bathroom after school? no... and he’s scared of tsukasa. absolutely traumatised. ignore the afterschool episodes, i want mitsuba to turn on his heel and walk straight to the art room, skipping the fourth step.
after he has his melancholy talks and tear-filled arguments with kou he goes over and whines to shijima and they watch a movie on a projector and eat ice cream from a minifridge.
bonus points if mei uses her sketchbook to draw tissues for them. they literally have infinite ice cream and tissues
after the aquarium trip, i don’t think he could return to kou’s house (teru) & he also loses more energy the further away he is from the school SO i’d like to say he walks over, finds shijima & just cries to her the entire time about how kou is being difficult
shijima (unbothered queen) hands him her sketchbook w a drawing of a tissue box inside and 'mhm's every few minutes
it’s such a nice dynamic i love them so much
WHAT IF THEY RELEARNED THEIR PAST SELVES’ HOBBIES TOGETHER
like mitsuba learning how to hold a camera w his hand
shijima teaches him how to sketch, they go on small trips around the school at night to look at items in the moonlight
mitsuba absolutely destroys any supernaturals in their way (i need shijima to force him to eat occasionally and he will have to listen)
no but shijima is perfectly able to handle them herself
cue shijima pulling a sword from her sketchbook and bashing supernaturals into a pulp
but what if their past versions met in some sort of afterlife and mei teaches him to sketch & mitsuba shows mei his favorite photos and anglings and they watch birds & draw them and take photos and think about their lives and-
bonus: YAKO.
yako’s stairs are said to lead up to the art room 👀
so what if...
(i’ll finish this later lmao)
i need this to be canon. sibling mei & mitsuba. pls.
thank you for reading ♡ drink some water~

mei and mitsuba haven’t been shown interacting aside a short time in picture perfect arc and it’s such a waste because their parallels are so absolutely interesting and i’m in love with the idea of sibling relationship shijimitsu
like
so
but
once, mitsuba tried to find a place to stay within the seven mysteries and kinda got rejected by most of them. however, the one he wasn’t shown interacting with was with shijima, and they get along together well enough, looking at their interactions in picture perfect...
not to mention these parallels;
they’re both 'fakes'. the second unoriginal versions of people who used to be alive, people who used to be there and talk to others and make an impact on the world.
their original selves were both artists. they drew what was important, immortalizing it in their photos and paintings and sketches and film. original mitsuba’s ghost took a picture of kou before getting turned into no. 3 by tsukasa. original mei drew her ideal self, in a tower, and created her second self. both these things were important to them.
their second selves were created because their original selves had a wish. to live on, and to have & stay with friends...
and slowly, their second selves started to grow indifferent to their original selves’ forms of expression. shijima seems to only draw for functionality instead of for her own enjoyment or curiosity or expression, but her art has so much more meaning now that they create more than just an impression of life—they make life. and mitsuba doesn’t even know anything anymore, amnesia go brrrr (ty @ocelotlesbian for pointing this out)
i have so much to say about how shijima’s art is being used more as a tool for convenience instead of how the original mei used it—even natsuhiko & tsukasa are trying to annoy her for stuff—and not to mention the things they could do with this ability if someone thought about it enough (she, tsuchigomori, yako & the clock keepers are so completely broken i can’t even—these are the mysteries, of course, but i’m so glad they’re passively watching everything unfold because if they took matters into their own hands it’d be absolute chaos look at the clock keepers arc)
and i henceforth i headcanon
these two siblings doing art together afterschool in an art room. do we normally see mitsuba in hanako’s bathroom after school? no... and he’s scared of tsukasa. absolutely traumatised. ignore the afterschool episodes, i want mitsuba to turn on his heel and walk straight to the art room, skipping the fourth step.
after he has his melancholy talks and tear-filled arguments with kou he goes over and whines to shijima and they watch a movie on a projector and eat ice cream from a minifridge.
bonus points if mei uses her sketchbook to draw tissues for them. they literally have infinite ice cream and tissues
after the aquarium trip, i don’t think he could return to kou’s house (teru) & he also loses more energy the further away he is from the school SO i’d like to say he walks over, finds shijima & just cries to her the entire time about how kou is being difficult
shijima (unbothered queen) hands him her sketchbook w a drawing of a tissue box inside and 'mhm's every few minutes
it’s such a nice dynamic i love them so much
WHAT IF THEY RELEARNED THEIR PAST SELVES’ HOBBIES TOGETHER
like mitsuba learning how to hold a camera w his hand
shijima teaches him how to sketch, they go on small trips around the school at night to look at items in the moonlight
mitsuba absolutely destroys any supernaturals in their way (i need shijima to force him to eat occasionally and he will have to listen)
no but shijima is perfectly able to handle them herself
cue shijima pulling a sword from her sketchbook and slicing supernaturals into pieces
but what if their past versions met in some sort of afterlife and mei teaches him to sketch & mitsuba shows mei his favorite photos and anglings and they watch birds & draw them and take photos and think about their lives and-
bonus: YAKO.
yako’s stairs are said to lead up to the art room 👀
so what if...
(i’ll finish this later lmao)
i need this to be canon. sibling mei & mitsuba. pls.
