@kusanagihaku wrote 6 ssb kisses bc she wants me cooked 6 different ways
Excerpts from linwriting:
...smiles at the way they grow wide when he lifts the plush bunny to his lips, leaves a kiss on the pink tip of its nose. at the blush that spreads across suba’s face when he presses the plush into suba’s gloved hands. *for you*.
maybe it's the sake, or maybe it's the part of suba's lips, but sho doesn't pull his hand away. lets it trail across suba's cheek. lets it hold suba's breath. holds suba’s gaze when he leans in. when suba leans in the rest of the way sho thinks he has never tasted something this sweet.
drops a kiss onto suba's cheek whenever he has to open the window to his food truck. sometimes it's teasing, sometimes it's casual. most of the times it's remorseful that he has to pull himself away from the soft of suba's laugh and the quiet of suba's company. gets surprised the first time suba kisses him back, ...
CW: Suggestive under the cut
4. the open-mouthed kisses he leaves on suba are searing. pants against suba's neck, licks bruises into the pale of his skin. suba wears high collars, right? sho kissing down the sweat of suba's neck.
5. leaves a kiss on suba's forehead when he leaves in the morning. watches suba stir, brows scrunching up and lips turning down in a little pout.
6. ..keeps his eyes trained on suba’s when he presses a kiss against suba’s knuckles. tender, warm. all for you.
Hi! If I may, for the doodle requests. Could I ask for Jo × le petit prince? (Specifically the special 200% version, I think his colours are so pretty and fitting for Jo)
HI STARRY I AGREEEEEEE the blue matches his eyes aaaaaaa
If you don't play Tokyo Debunker in Japanese you may fail to notice Jo's different texting style between his male and female side.
Here's an example how Jo texts in English:
The same chats, but in Japanese:
To give more context, male!Jo mostly speaks in gender neutral language but as fem!Jo, she distinctively speaks in a more feminine way. On top of the difference between their first and second person pronouns (boku-kimi VS watashi-anata), fem!Jo tends to use more feminine sentence-final particles like, ~wa, ~kashira, etc.
This isn't exactly news since if you're familiar with the source language, you can already tell that male!Jo and fem!Jo has a distinct speech pattern in the main story. I'm just a bit surprised that Jo is the same way when texting too, I guess. 😅
@kami76a honestly it's possible that she's not safe! Or she could be old or handicapped lo
tl;dr: Elias probably arrived three years ago at the beginning of his first year, but is not officially a transfer in any way. However I suspect he's been planted by the US branch of the Institute as the spy, so he may have worked for them beforehand, it's just off the records. I think ordinarily he would have only gone to Japan with his mother unless something was preventing her from being brought along, so I suspect that the USA branch is making him spy for them before they can both be allowed to move. Perhaps, before that, he lived his life ordinarily and didn't know about the Institute at all.
Yapping about how ghouls arrive at darkwick and the US branch and the spy under the cut. (No sources cited or screenshots used atm. Lazy. 🫠)
I mean logistically if he moved to Japan it was probably recently. They made the promise when he was still a kid but he's a grown man now. If the opportunity presented itself to go he probably wouldn't have previously gone without her since right now his alleged goal is to graduate, go back to the US, get his mom, and move back to Japan together. Being in Japan without her now is probably because of extenuating circumstances.
So what we know is that ghouls are "special admission students" and that Darkwick knows whenever someone becomes a ghoul. It seems to be that Darkwick will invite ghouls to attend(except a few who're forced due to unique circumstances--Alan who was legally adopted by the Institute, Ed who was captured, Lyca who was sent over on trial. . . .) Elias, Romeo, and Lucas are all from foreign countries--Romeo and Taiga were implied to have come together while Lucas said he was the only ghoul at Emrys which means he was a ghoul in his first year as well, and the only reason he came is because he believed it would bring him closer to finding his brother. Jiro seems to have been brought to DW because he was afflicted by Eternal Slumber Syndrome. So you either aren't immediately invited to Darkwick upon your ghoul discovery(see: Kaito not getting his until after his grandmother died and he lived with other relatives for a while) or your invitation is an open one that you're sent shortly after becoming a ghoul and you can start to attend whenever you're ready(see: Lucas.)
Back to Elias, we know he was captain of Dionysia last year, despite that the "captains and vice captains must be ghouls" rule was not in place at the time. Since he had that much trust as to be appointed captain over any other Dionysia student I think it's safe to say he'd been there a while, possibly all three years. So I would assume he came here at the beginning of his first year, around 3 years ago(relative to the beginning of the game) assuming he wasn't repeating any years. After all if somebody transferred from another school you probably wouldn't wanna make them a captain--they might go back home, right? That'd make things more difficult on everyone and it'd possibly be a security risk. But it's different if they seem to have just moved over.
Now here comes the speculation: I do believe he's the spy and we've heard a little about the US branch of the Institute so they may be who he's supposed to be spying for, which makes the circumstances of his arrival are a bit more. Questionable.
A spy is typically somebody who's been trained to retrieve and return information undercover. As such Elias would likely have been a US branch operative already, or he'd otherwise been trained for the purpose of spying on DW under the guise of accepting his DW offer. Perhaps any invitations that go to ghouls in other countries must be sent to their respective/closest branch before they can be approved--after all, DW is the one that we know is alerted to someone becoming a ghoul. If there's a ghoul in another country and that country doesn't know, it isn't fair for DW to poach what could be someone of great use to that country's branch.
All of that to say, if Elias is indeed the spy he's either already been (secretly) trained by the US branch of the Institute before attending DW or they're manipulating him in some way, perhaps saying they won't let him and his mother move to Japan unless he agrees to do their bidding first. After all, why accept an invitation to move and not bring the person you wanted to bring most? Obviously she can't know much about what he does at DW but like Haku said they take care of their home lives down to keeping his koi fish fed because they might go back home after graduation. If Elias was able to tell DW "I'll come if you give my mother a home in Tokyo" that'd probably be nothing for DW a few years ago, especially when they believe that they need ghouls to prevent the apocalypse. But if the US branch got between them then they hold all the cards for Elias--and he can't report this behavior because that would cause an international incident and make it basically impossible to retrieve his mother.
Of course all of that is speculation--but I imagine that Elias is being used by the AII-US(Anomalous Investigation Institute, US Branch) and while he would've happily come to DW on his own as long as he could bring his mama to Japan with him, he's not being given that choice unless he can fulfil this mission for the AII-US first.
Of course, much of this depends on Elias's statements being true. Elias isn't very truthful, and everything he said could easily be a cover story. He also might not be working for the US branch at all--he could even be working for a group defying the Institute altogether--but I suspect that's what's coming since we've had a few mentions of the US branch and Elias is from the US.
