notes ꩜ hi this is part two of my hcs. i don't write smut so this is experimental , thank all for 168 of you. chinese numerology tells me to celebrate so i have to. enjoy this , sorry that i have a nerd fetish and this is all over the place
gamer!satoru who had the most obvious crush imaginable except you. it wasn't really because you’re dense, but because you’re delusional. It’s hard having a crush on a person who’s dense, but it’s harder having a crush on someone who’s smart enough to weasel their way out of the conclusion that someone likes them. thank god that’s over with.
gamer!satoru who accidentally starts measuring time based on when you'll be online. he swears he isn't waiting for you. he's just coincidentally opening Discord every seven minutes. and yes, he knows your "last online" patterns. and yes, he knows tuesdays are the days you disappear for longer because of classes. and yes, he noticed you stayed up until 3:41 a.m. yesterday. that doesn't mean anything. it means absolutely nothing.
he's normal.
gamer!satoru who becomes violently competitive around your attention. not your affection. attention. affection is scary and truthfully, not something he can want without letting go of his restraints yet. attention is manageable. if you're in vc with him and another guy joins? suddenly satoru is performing. he's funnier. louder. more knowledgeable.
he's also infinitely, or tries to be, more entertaining. the guy says something mildly funny. satoru says something funnier. the guy mentions Elden Ring. satoru starts discussing obscure cut content from version 1.00. the guy says he likes computers. satoru starts talking about Linux. nobody asked.
gamer!satoru who gets excited whenever your interests overlap. but even when they don't, when you mention liking one thing, now he essentially has it as a special interest. he's researching it. watching videos. reading wiki pages. not because he likes it. because you like it.
the second you said you had started playing Elden Ring, and enjoyed it, he nearly died.
gamer!satoru who keeps finding excuses to dm you. the problem is he already talks to you. so he can't manufacture reasons easily, and technically he doesn't need to. he's your boyfriend. you're his girlfriend. which means his excuses become increasingly stupid. "did you know Steam changed their UI?" then ive minutes later, "actually never mind it wasn't Steam," two hours later, "okay it was Steam."
gamer!satoru who absolutely cannot hide when he's jealous. not possessive, satoru doesn't understand how to be possessive. doesn't want to either. because when you're a guy like him who has been handed everything good in the world, you start realizing guarding things excessively just does more damage than not. oh and he's seen way too many Am I The Asshole Reddit posts. he's not controlling either. just, visibly annoyed.
you mention some guy, any guy, and he immediately asks "who's that?" pathetic and humiliating question. he buries himself in his own grave the moment he starts asking follow-up questions.
gamer!satoru who confessed like he's trying to diffuse a bomb. you still make fun of him for it. he can argue with strangers online. he can trash-talk entire lobbies, which he has denoted that ability to being in call of duty lobbies whne he was twelve. you called him a loser for it. he can debate game mechanics for six hours. but confessing? my god.
gamer!satoru who spends the first month after getting a girlfriend in a state of genuine disbelief. you chose him. voluntarily. repeatedly. every morning he wakes up and remembers. every time you call him handsome, every time you call him boyfriend, every time you text first; he experiences the emotional equivalent of a Windows error sound. because somehow the pretty girl he spent months orbiting around actually likes him back. and despite acting like the cockiest man alive, gamer!satoru never really gets over how lucky he thinks that is.
gamer!satoru who develops a habit of sitting way too close. not even intentionally. you're on the couch, the L-shaped, comfortable leather satoru got as a nifty hand-me-down form his mother. it's an entire couch; a whole couch. yet somehow he's pressed against your side like the furniture is running out of space. when you point it out he just goes what? as if he isn't practically occupying your lap like it's annexed territory.
gamer!satoru who absolutely (still) backseats games. not because he's annoying, or at least he doesn't try to be that. it's jsut because he genuinely forgets you're experiencing things for the first time. "go left," "stop," "what?" "i want to explore," "yeah but there's a sword over there,” "you already know where everything is," "well obviously."
gamer!satoru who learns your favorite snacks. this one is annoying, because now every convenience store trip becomes: "[name] likes these"—he's accidentally become thoughtful. it's humiliating.and the much more unhinged habit he formed now: gamer!satoru who physically cannot shut up about you around his friends. suguru notices immediately. because even if suguru knew gojo satoru was an annoying piece of shit, he could tolerate it. now he's unbearable—maybe it's because suguru's single now. "[name] said this," "[name] likes that," "[name] thought this was funny," suguru is ready to kill him by week two.
gamer!satoru who loves voice calls even after you're dating. especially after you're dating. because before? calls meant i want to spend time with you. now? calls mean: i miss your voice. and he's somehow more pathetic.
gamer!satoru who secretly adores being your boyfriend. this is the thing. everyone expects him to be cool and effortless and confident. and he is, in that insufferable way. until it comes to you. now he isn't, in that same insufferable way. because dating you turns him into the biggest loser imaginable. you call him handsome? he's thinking about it for three days. you call him smart? he's bringing it up next week.
you say, "i'm proud of you," and suddenly this grown man is staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m. replaying the sentence in 4k resolution. the worst, or best, is when you call him capable. this is why gamer!satoru has the funniest and most useful skill imagine. satoru who casually says: "i can probably find that," and then somehow does. need a pdf of a textbook from 2008? found. need a fan translation of a japanese guidebook? found. need a deleted tumblr post from 2017? found. need an obscure Minecraft mod that vanished from the internet? found. and normally he wouldn't go to these lengths just to find something lost on the internet, even if he does love lost media. but you praise him once and blood rushes to his head, and maybe somewhere elsewhere during other times.
gamer!satoru who one day realizes something horrifying. he used to think his favorite thing was gaming. then he starts dating you. and now his favorite thing is actually just doing literally anything with you nearby. or you, in general. maybe just you.
gamer!satoru who emulates games that haven't been sold since 2006. satoru who has spent an entire evening troubleshooting ps2 emulator settings. not playing. troubleshooting. satoru who owns games legally but still pirates them because "the DRM is annoying."
and gamer!satoru who teaches you all of this, first because he physically can't stop himself from telling you everything and anything that he knows about, then because at some point you actually started caring about whatever he was talking about for yourself. satoru squeezing your cheeks with his hands whenever you ask a repeating question, because you're too cute to punch and he's too antsy to shut you up with a kiss.
gamer!satoru who now lets you touch all his stuff from idiotic to actually useful. a raspberry pi he forgot about. three mice because he's convinced they're different. a drawing tablet he bought for exactly one project. his Steam library with 700 games, 650 untouched.
gamer!satoru who loves parallel play. one of the most realistic nerd traits ever somehow. your lips twitched into the most knowing smile when you realized what was happening each time you went to each other's place. because even if you've learnt that he's a nerd as his friend, you realize he's worse than you thought as his girlfriend. you aren't even doing the same thing. you're drawing. he's modding Skyrim. three hours pass. nobody talks and it's the perfect date.
gamer!satoru who probably jokes in such a way that makes you want to punch him in the throat, but a little bit too affected for you to not want him to stop. this has plagued his mind for too long.
gamer!satoru who really likes the smell of your neck. it's mostly a texture thing, probably. you have a soft neck, and he's seen you lather on lotion touching every surface body part you have. he likes other parts too, but he physically can't resist burying his face between the plane that connects your shoulder with your neck.
gamer!satoru who treats the tenth time you’re actually in his room as his girlfriend—not just in the same house, but in the inner sanctum of his multi-monitor setup—like he’s prepping for a speedrun. gamer!satoru who spent the last twenty minutes subconsciously clearing his desk of empty cans, hiding his messier GitHub project notes, and closing his browser tabs so you don’t see the "how to be a normal human being" Google searches from three months ago.
gamer!satoru who is experiencing physiological lag. he’s sitting in his ergonomic chair that costs more than his first car, you’re on the edge of the bed behind him, and the static electricity in the air is worse than any high-ping lobby he’s ever dealt with. he’s trying to play something—just to keep his hands busy, just to pretend he’s not shaking out of his skin. he’s misclicking. he’s whiffing inputs.
"Toru, you’re dying every thirty seconds," you point out, your voice right at his ear.
He freezes. His hands hover over his keyboard, the one he spent ¥96,500 on and swears up and down sounds different from every other thocky keyboard he has, the cold blue lights reflecting in his glasses. "I’m... testing the game’s difficulty spikes," he lies, his voice cracking just a fraction. He’s not testing anything. He’s trying to figure out how to transition from "gaming with you" to "being with you" without his brain blue-screening.
gamer!satoru who realizes that real-life stakes are infinitely higher than a ranked ladder. in a game, he can alt-f4. he can restart. he can blame the server. but you’re right there, and the way your hand rests on his shoulder is sending a signal directly to his nervous system that he has no protocol for. he’s calculating the physics of how to turn around, how to move, how to touch you without making it weird. he has nothing.
it's not like you're a prude or he's a prude. you've kissed. you've made out. you've probably touched a little higher than you should, but satoru's never even copped a proper feel at you—not because he's a prude! he just doesn't wanna scare you. that's all.
gamer!satoru who turns his chair around, his expression caught somewhere between the cocky smirk you’re used to and a panicked, wide-eyed mess that you somehow think is an equally hot look on him.
"I think..." he starts, voice a whisper and rougher than it ever gets on your typical Discord calls. He's looking at your lips, then back to your eyes, then they dart around your entire face without looking at the two of those features. At all.. "I'm a bit tilted. Help me out here? I’m... I’m really fucking struggling at this."
He’s practically holding his breath, waiting for you to lead, for you to take the controller out of his hands. It's the one of many pathetic things Satoru has let you do to him. He does not mind at all.
gamer!satoru who gets all quiet because you're the one nuzzling into his neck first, and you're the one who sinks down onto his lap, pressing your heat against his. it's not a secret that satoru has never had a girlfriend before, something he just took as a fact of life because romance is just not as important in his life than so many other people. it's also not a secret that he's a virgin, a fact that suguru and ieiri has made fun of extensively several times before.
he was practically overheating in his skin when you started kissing him until his head knocked back against the detachable cushion of his chair. he barely made out your name before you took his breath and forced a very wanton grunt from him. he whined too. you don't want to know how dazed his expression was when you dragged him to the bed.
gamer!satoru who despite being an inexperienced fucking mess—not that you yourself are that experience either—somehow manages to kiss the air out of your lungs and trail the most agonizing feather-light kisses down your chest like he's been doing this for as long as GitHub has been a thing. gamer!satoru who accidentally says the smoothest shit to you and then acts like nothing is wrong while you're practically soaking your own self.
gamer!satoru who lets out the filthiest groan the first time you sink down on him because holy shit you grip like a vice. it's funny how he is, was, constantly looking for 'immersion' (whatever that means) in games, and somehow he's finally found it in the way your skin feels and how you look when you're only looking at him. gamer!satoru probably hit himself on the head a few times because he thought he should've done this a while ago instead of being as terminally online as he is.
gamer!satoru who genuinely gets addicted to you. for multiple reasons that he thinks are so obvious he doesn't even wanna name them (in truth, this is because he's a coward). it's almost mandatory every time he stays over for him to slip it in during your early mornings, murmuring into your ear. satoru has a thing over his sleep schedule, and he somehow wakes up at five a.m. sharp without an alarm, and he gets the worst morning wood.
it's also worth mentioning that he's terrible at dirty talk. because satoru does not do it, and despite the suspicious amounts of (sometimes erotic) dating sims he downloaded and played recently, sitting snug on his Steam library, he has not learnt a single thing from any of them. still, he somehow makes you all warm inside despite his word choice.
You're straddling him, thighs trapping his hips and framing that perfect view Satoru has effectively obsessed over passively since the first time you two had sex. Your pussy is swallowing him, and it's embarrassing how hung Satoru is. You'd expect him to be a five, maybe a six. You don't expect him to be a seven and maybe more when generous.
Satoru throws his head back, hissing when your gummy walls clamp down on him. "Holy fuck," his large hands, gripping firmly on your sides, tightens even more. You can feel his heartbeat from where your palms are resting on his chest, and Satoru himself can feel his heart practically lurching out. A single squeeze from you and he lets out those deep guttural groans yet again. "My heart rate is actually hitting an all-time peak."
The ridiculous sentence doesn't even faze you, because he thrusts once, shallow and not even with effort, just a move to show he's there, and it's grazing your cervix. Your eyes roll back and a whine escapes your vocal cords. You don't really care, but you ask anyway, "Toru, what?"
gamer!satoru who doesn't think in the moment that the sentence "yeah, holy fuck, i feel like i'm overclocking" isn't the nerdiest and most insane thing you could say in bed. why? because he's focused on the fact that a single thrust made you moan that sweetly and satoru treats everything like a bug. so now he's immediately trying to replicate the bug, doing it again and again like he's testing a game mechanic to see if he can trigger the same response every single time.
gamer!satoru who probably has a voice kink. not that he'd ever admit it. you whispering his name or praise hits him with the same chemical rush as hitting a high-level combo or finally debugging some damn website. it's not even funny how many times he's thought about whether you'd agree to phone sex.
and he wants to hear you all the time, to a point where it's nearly exhausting. if you get quiet, he starts asking, in that voice that makes your already-gone panties drop, something like, "what are you feeling? tell me." he treats your reactions like real-time telemetry data.
gamer!satoru who asks you to cockwarm him right while he works on some useless automation script, because your cunt is just way too good to let go. it's technically not his fault, because you give a man who's never eaten candy Willy Wonka's chocolate, what did you expect from him? not get addicted? no fucking way. he absolutely has to be buried inside you until you're whining into his shoulder to move or he himself will go crazy.
gamer!satoru who constantly narrates his strategy when talking to you, in bed or not. he could have your legs pinned up on his shoulders and pounding into you relentlessly, and he could still go, "i noticed you didn't like it when i did that last time, so i adjusted the sensitivity. better?" an unbelievable man. it's incredibly clinical and slightly jarring. until he loses his composure or you whine to him about shutting the fuck up and to stop overthinking.
gamer!satoru who gets irrationally excited when you ask for help, not because you need him, but because you trust him. big difference. you ask him to explain something very casually and suddenly he's sitting up straighter like a dog hearing a treat bag.
eventually, he accidentally became your personal IT department. at first it starts with your headphones not connecting; then you ask him why your laptop is weird and overheating despite nothing going on in your task manager (everything is going on), and by the time he thinks he's had a break from your always-breaking electronics, you tell him your printer is acting funny. he immediately cuts you off by saying he's not fixing your printer. five minutes later, he's fixing your printer while complaining the entire time.
though, it's worth it every time because gamer!satoru knows (which is dangerous; gamer!satoru knowing is something that should be paid close attention to) you get nicer and clingier every time he fixes something or helps you with something. if it's not the most brain-melting praise, it's you looking at him like he's the only man in the world. if he hit the jackpot, it might be you getting down on your knees and taking him in with your mouth while he's trying to work on a 3d render at his desk. he cums a lot.
gamer!satoru who genuinely developed some sort of backseating fetish. he literally cannot stop himself from trying to guide your movements, even when you're both naked. this started (subconsciously) the second he realized he knew your body that well now, after way too many encounters where he had his cock buried in you to the hilt. he hovers, his hands go on your hips, and he always ends up whispering instructions like he's coaching you through a boss fight.
"Shift your weight—yeah, right there, don't move."
It is somehow both infuriating and stupidly hot. You guess you have a type in guys.
but when you finally get tired of him backseating and his gentle, almost coaxing words, finally taking control, gojo satoru is completely useless. you pin his wrists down then straddle him further to tell him to follow your pace and he legitimately cannot speak. his hands shake and he if you paid attention enough, you could hear how his voice stutters just a little when he's trying to get his words out.
and despite gamer!satoru being a concerningly high-libido man in bed, it doesn't take away from the fact that ultimately he's a loser. because gamer!satoru has read every guide on the internet about intimacy, the good, the cringe, the unhinged. and he has a secret, password-protected folder on his desktop titled config_v2.docx that is essentially a detailed log of your likes, dislikes, and 'high-score' spots.
because to be honest, cool gamers are into romance. and they probably have a whole folder of how to worship their girlfriend.
૮꒰˵• ﻌ •˵꒱ა ㅤ© kayuekou, 2026 𖥻 do not copy, reconstruct, or upload on other platform nor feed my works into AI.
hi i'm disappearing for 4 days and leaving you with memes again. recently discovered my olympiad is in 4 days. haven't studied a single bit.
woke up in the middle of the night and reread cgair2 and realized how ass it is. i don't get how other fanfic authors have the confidence to post their work without letting in ruminate for 15 hundred days looking for grammar mistakes and clunky syntax before posting it. might reupload tonight though
We write for ourselves, but we post for others.
(this came out of a conversation in the comments on a previous post about an author threatening to stop updating a fic because of lack of engagement)
So there’s this idea that fic writers should write for themselves and not care too much about stats or engagement,
and i totally get the sentiment behind that. if writing becomes entirely about stats and external validation, something important does get lost - creative freedom and joy, conviction in your own writing
but i also think:
“i write for myself, but i post for others.”
because posting fic is not only self-expression. it’s social. ao3 is called an archive, but emotionally it often functions as a community space.
people post for connection, for participation, for others to bear witness to their pain and trauma and grief,
and i don’t think most people are asking to be admired so much as acknowledged. there’s something deeply human about wanting another person to encounter something that mattered to you and go:
“ok, yeah, I see what you were trying to say. I see you.”
especially because fanfic is often people processing very real feelings through fictional characters at a safe distance, one step removed,
and then uploading that deeply personal thing into a shared archive and hoping somebody else might connect with it.
And i think that’s why it hurts so much when you summon up the courage and post a fic into the void and you get nothing back,
and then it’s like,
does anyone see me? does anyone even care?
this is something so deeply frustrating in writing. i think people treat "writing for yourself" and "wanting engagement" as mutually exclusive when they're not. writing is solitary, publishing isn't. if i truly only cared about myself, i'd leave the fic in the coal mines and reread it privately. the moment i post it, i'm participating in a social act. i am directly saying, "i created this, does anybody want to see it?"
nobody giving you direct engagement (not praise, just engagement) hurts not because of ego, but genuinely just discomfort of sending a message and never finding out if anybody received it. like the desire to be read isn't corruption. it's arguably one of the oldest reasons people tell stories at all.
also, the risk and reward asymmetry is dramatic when it comes to writing, and the opportunity cost for a writer is drastically higher than that of a reader. a reader spends twenty minutes reading and a writer might spend twenty hours writing. the risk isn't equal and that's also why "just write for yourself" can feel dismissive sometimes! the writer has already invested in a way the reader hasn't
humans are fundamentally social creatures, we learnt this in like 5th grade. humans don't develop identity in isolation, a huge amount of our self-concept comes from recognition. that's why a child shows their parent a drawing. writers want people to see their works and it's not selfish for them to want it
failed physics and will fail math. thanks everyone you're going to see progressively more unhinged content because of my increasingly declining mental health
what's a trope you guys like but ONLY under specific conditions? and what are those conditions? and better yet, what tropes work only when the writer is a prodigious talented extraordinary literary genius. pls gimme your hottest takes. im trying not to go insane this week. i live with discussions

gamer!satoru who absolutely judges people by their game libraries. not out loud, at first. because satoru, even if he’s a fucking prick, still has a sense of shame and humility hidden beneath his lack of internet decorum. he’ll ask what you play in the same tone normal people ask what your favorite color is. then you answer; something that’s not really his taste—because gamer!satoru is a gamer; he drops bucks on triple A titles if they’re worth it (and even if they’re not), but also pirate things if they’re too shit and ironically, sometimes unironically say it’s to preserve media—and suddenly he’s conducting a psychological profile.
"Stardew Valley?" he murmurs under his breath. You can almost hear him thinking. “...Interesting."
Your brows have already furrowed by the time he reaches the third syllable. "What does that mean?"
"Nothing,” there is something. Satoru is looking at you with the smuggest smile possible, glasses perched on his nose, the one who’s stuck ridiculously high right now in a way that makes you want to punch him until his head falls off.
gamer!satoru who physically cannot resist backseating. He swears he’s trying. He really is. He sits beside you with both hands over his mouth while you struggle with a puzzle, or a shooting game with god awful base settings. twenty seconds pass. Then forty seconds. one minute. He tries so hard not to but he starts shaking in his seat not long after. Eventually, he’s asking you "okay but hypothetically, if someone were to move the box to the left—"
gamer!satoru who has never paid for WinRAR. not once. not a single day in his life. which isn't astounding, isn't a horrifying either. but the free trial is entering year 14. satoru who knows torrent etiquette. he seeds. satoru who knows exactly which torrent site is currently alive after the last one got nuked. satoru who owns a tb external hard drive.
gamer!satoru who owns the most absurd setup imaginable; it’s a blessing and a curse that his parents spoonfed him with the gift of financial freedom. triple monitors. custom keyboard. a sennheiser headset. chair worth more than a used car. yet somehow his desktop is still covered in random screenshots named things like: finalfinalREALfinal.png, newbuild3actualfinal.png, screenshot_938.png
gamer!satoru who opens Wikipedia for one thing. he’s a goal-oriented man, but most times, his goals can change. four hours later he’s reading about Byzantine tax policy, extinct sharks, and maybe medieval siege weapons. and then somehow remembers all of it to run his mouth off to you during a Discord call. he’s also the same satoru who knows Homestar Runner, Newgrounds, and whatever old forum culture that was present at some point and can explain what happened to websites that died before you were born.
gamer!satoru who accidentally develops a sudden obsession because you're better than him at one game. just one. one singular game. maybe it's rhythm games. maybe it's tetris. maybe it's some obscure puzzle game. doesn't matter. he loses once. then twice. then six times. and now he's staying awake until four in the morning practicing. not because he likes you. he just thinks it'd be embarrassing to lose seven times.
gamer!satoru who starts measuring his emotional state through gaming terminology.
"How are you feeling?" you ask.
"Honestly?"
"Yeah?"
"I think I'm tilted."
"..."
gamer!satoru who learns your schedule without realizing it. he knows when you log on. he knows when you usually go offline. he knows when you're busy. he knows when you start sending increasingly incoherent messages because you're tired. he doesn't notice this is weird until geto points it out.
"You know her sleep schedule."
"No I don't."
"You just told me she usually disappears around 11:43."
gamer!satoru who experiences genuine heartbreak when you start playing a game without him. this starts because he found you playing Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps which he genuinely cringed at when you told him you paid real money to buy slop. his face twitched and contorted into the ugliest pout. not because he's possessive. that's ridiculous. he just—well. you usually play together, even the shitty cash cow games. so why didn't you ask him? he's not upset. he's just. he's… he's opening discord and staring at your status.
gamer!satoru who sends you increasingly specific memes. at first they're normal. then the palate shrinks. then it gets nicher. then they're so specific that they only apply to:
1. a game with 700 active players 2. a bug that existed for three days in 2021 3. an interaction you had two weeks ago
gamer!satoru who discovers that flirting is infinitely harder than competitive gaming. boss fights? easy. ranked matches? relatively easy unless your teammates give you hypertension. public speaking? easy, relatively. sending you: hey, and then waiting for a response? most stressful thing he's ever experienced.
gamer!satoru who realizes he's in love because you become his favorite notification. not texts. not game updates. not patch notes. not ranked rewards. not steam sales. you. he'll be mid-match in the most stressful situation in his life, threatening to rank up. sweating. trying to clutch. then your message pops up. and suddenly he doesn't care if his team loses.
gamer!satoru who starts giving you priority access to things he never shares. his save files. his favorite builds. his private servers. his secret farming routes. his meticulously organized mod folders. he doubles down and tells you he's just being particularly generous with you because you're an idiot who trips over herself more times than not when you catch on.
gamer!satoru who keeps saying "one more game" when you're together. you both know it's a lie. he knows it's a lie. you know he knows it's a lie. three hours later: "okay this is the last one."
gamer!satoru who, upon realizing he likes you, starts showing off in the dumbest ways possible. you'll be talking about your day. completely normal conversation. and suddenly:
"Oh by the way."
"What?"
"I solo'd that boss."
"...okay?"
"Just thought you should know."
gamer!satoru who thinks romance is cringe until it's happening to him. other couples? embarrassing. holding hands? corny. matching icons? pathetic. then one day he catches himself staring at matching profile pictures for twenty minutes. and now he's googling: "subtle matching icons not cringe" at three in the morning.
he's the first to point and laugh when suguru and his girlfriend, some girl who was apparently the love of his life—for two weeks—made the quintessential mistake of having matching anime profile pictures on his Discord account. he bullied the man so hard, and so much, to the point where ieiri actually felt bad for suguru.
now he's genuinely thinking suguru's later more subtle Discord statuses with his girlfriend, well, on-and-off girlfriend, are fucking genius. he hates himself for thinking that because supplementing that thought is a picture of you in his mind.
gamer!satoru who codes. not software engineer coding. weird hobby coding. he taught himself how to code through his willpower alone. it probably started when he was eleven and wanted his own custom Minecraft server, didn't know how plugins worked, downloaded random plugins, broke the game, then had to figure out basic config files. then he pirated, then it spiraled when he learned of GitHub and reached nirvana. it's stupid how a hobby born of willpower, pure hatred, and Reddit-based advice.
now you get satoru who automates things because he's lazy. made a Python script once to rename 4,000 files and never stopped talking about it. satoru who learns regex and immediately becomes unbearable. satoru who uses VS Code; has 57 extensions and only uses 4.
satoru who has a GitHub account with exactly two repositories:
one abandoned project one script that calculates gacha probabilities
satoru who learned C# exclusively because he wanted to mod games. the most he did was make Minecraft plugins and Discord bots. now, it's satoru who's spending days figuring out if it'd be overkill to make a website dedicated for you, concluding that it's a bad idea, then doing it anyway discreetly.
gamer!satoru who realizes he's in love with you because his Steam Wrapped equivalent tells him he's spent 73% of his gaming time in co-op games this year. the statistic is humiliating but he still stares at it intensely. then he stares at your Discord icon in the minimized window below.
then he stares at the statistic again.
because before meeting you, he was a competitive ranked ladder god. now he's spending four hours helping you decorate your latest typically rage-inducing cute games. something has gone horribly wrong.
gamer!satoru who accidentally starts treating your messages like rare loot drops. he'll be doing nothing, then his phone vibrates; and his response is immediate with sub-second reaction time.
most of the time, you don't even send him anything profound. sometimes you just send him a photo of your drink—always carbonated—and his brain thinks of ten pathways of how to respond so you'll keep chatting with him until at least fifteen chat bubbles. you send him look with a blurry photo of a pigeon and he'll spend fifteen minutes discussing the pigeon.
god forbid you send him a selfie you don't even think twice about. he dies.
gamer!satoru who develops a Pavlovian response to Discord notifications. not notifications. your notifications. he doesn't care about anybody else's. suguru could message. ignored. he's gotten hit on the head for this. shoko could message. ignored.
you send hey and suddenly he's sitting upright. it's even worse when you text him late at night, and he images you sleepy, on your phone (because you said you "don't want eye strain" from being on your laptop), choosing him to text and suddenly he wants to wrap his USB cable around his neck.
gamer!satoru who keeps trying to figure out whether you like him back using the same logic he uses to optimize game builds. because satoru has never dated. satoru does not date. but he knows what it is, how it works. and now he's fallen in love with you and obsessing over his own feelings for you.
gamer!satoru who starts making spreadsheets. actual spreadsheets. this includes evidence you might like him: responds quickly, laughs at jokes, joins calls, sends cat videos to him. and recently you gave him your TikTok account and willingly made a streak with him. evidence against? you're you. way too out of his league. inconclusive.
gamer!satoru who confesses in the most embarrassing way imaginable. because he absolutely wasn't planning to. he had a speech. a good one. an actually cool and charismatic one.
he never gets to use it.
Most of the time, you're at home because you don't have anything better to do than lie around in your bed. Satoru's air conditioning is running cold, that same setting he keeps pretending doesn't make his hands freeze. You guys are on VC at hours you shouldn't comment on.
It's 2:17 a.m.
The conversation has long since derailed, because while in a game of Overcooked 2, you suddenly ask some dumb, lacking intellectual weight question, probably about whether cereal counts as soup. That has resulted in your game being minimized, and neither of you paying attention anymore, let alone playing anymore.
And then you laugh. Not even at him or anything he says. Just laugh. And Satoru's brain immediately blue screens. Through all his grandeur and bravado about his qBittorrent knowledge, there's nothing that prepares him for what his mouth says.
"I think I'm in love with you."
Silence. Absolute silence. Satoru can't even hear the usual expressions you make he's somehow learnt to recognize through the Discord call. There's only the hum from his PC fans, then his brain finally catches up to him.
"Wait," he rasps, "no, fuck."
Visible panic actually laces every syllable he breathes out. Almost instantly, he feels himself sweating cold. "That's not how I wanted to say that."
gamer!satoru who immediately buries his face in his hands after confessing. smartest person in the room, most times and destroyed by his own mouth. he almost impaled himself with the corner of his computer case when he backtracked and you simply said "well, I didn't say no."
gamer!satoru who grumbled for a day straight, still not believing you're actually his girlfriend, but bragging about himself to you saying he knew you would say yes. if you knew what the hell was going on in his brain, you'd call him pathetic. maybe he'd like it. gamer!satoru who started thinking of hypothetical ways he could've confessed, including showing you the personal website he made for you.
gamer!satoru who becomes uselessly, excessively affectionate after you start dating. actually unbearable. because before? he had to pretend. how? no regulations. no restrictions. no laws. now he can actually say the shit he wants to say about your hair.
gamer!satoru who a week into dating, starts abusing the girlfriend DLC. satoru who starts inviting you into every activity not because he needs help but because he just likes your company.
building a pc? come over. watching a documentary? sit with him. playing a game? obviously. studying? he'll complain the entire time but yes.
gamer!satoru who has accidentally become the epitome of boyfriend simulator, but in the most annoyingly him way possible. you recently mentioned how your latest amusement is Cooking Mama speedruns. three weeks later, he comes back and he remembers unconsciously. well, technically not, because the next two weeks after you had said that, he had spent his free-time hissing and cussing at his own Cooking Mama run. he has never played Cooking Mama in his life prior to this.
he started developing couple projects. not romantic projects, like taking you out on a date and painting a clay figure. it's somehow still romantic. because he asked you to make a Minecraft world together and it's been going for four months. because he also made a private wiki that has a 'History' section where he just describes all your dates together.
gamer!satoru who keeps making couple spreadsheets ironically, to the point where you saw something labeled date ideas.xlsx and [name]'s cranky habits.xlsx that remembers you always forget to refill your tumbler when you drank all of your water. so that's why he keeps periodically refilling it...
gamer!satoru who starts unconsciously bragging more around you. not because he's trying to impress you. he already impressed you. you dated him. mission accomplished. now he just wants your praise.
"Look," he nudges your shoulder."I fixed it."
You look over to see some script he wrote shaved six seconds off a process. You don't understand it at all. "Good job, Toru."
Pure dopamine. He fears he may become addicted to it.
gamer!satoru who becomes physically attached to you during calls, and especially in real life. if you're in the same room? you're touching. shoulder. leg. hand. something, anything. because for years his version of intimacy was asking if you want to vc. now he can actually hold your hand. huge upgrade.
gamer!satoru who not only kept working on that stupid website—not even hosted on Neocities or anything of that sort, no, he paid for his own domain with money you don't know where he got—but also put meticulous effort in it. everything inside it was a collection of everything you've ever said, probably.
from the long, almost tedious block of text describing, narrating, ridiculing just how much satoru adores you, which he added accumulatively over the dawning of his horrible crush on you, to the array of things he put in a section that reminds him of you. his writing isn't subpar, but typical of a guy whose only writing experience probably came form roleplaying with dweebs on Discord.
it doesn't change the fact that when he showed you the site three months after you started dating, you were left in a state of shell-shock from the way he memorized what your favorite Pokémon is, and was when you were a kid, and how much time he spent talking about how much your voice alone in a shitty high-ping Discord call made his day.
gamer!satoru who starts introducing you to every niche interest he's ever had, not because he expects you to care; he knows you don't care. but you'll sit there, listening while he explain ROM hacks, obscure gaming scandals, random internet history. and every single time he catches you genuinely paying attention he falls in love all over again.
gamer!satoru who one day realizes you know what he's talking about now. a fatal mistake. because suddenly you're quoting back and asking him about a speedrunning scandal and he freezes.
"You remembered that?"

tags (no pressure): @spectranix @strawbebbyypie @dorotheeasrce
every time im in class i remember that stupid fucking low honor sound effect from rdr2 im genuinely anxious i wont be able to focus on my exams because i keep thinking about it
how it feels when your favorite fic gets updated and it's genuinely better than everything you've fantasized about
when the fic makes a bunch of well researched cultural references so you start learning through the fic and you start researching certain things on your own just to catch the reference and you start thinking why you didn't think of that yourself
this is my first annoying discussion of the week (relative to my exams). what's something that immediately or almost immediately attracts you in a writer's style? just a general indication that the writing is going to be peak
i sound so obtuse but i recently realized one thing about myself and why i keep coming back to consume fan content
i think jjk in general is so big in the x reader and au scene because jjk itself is kind of ordinary? it's weirdly versatile as a fandom too. personally, the source material hits a lot of things i already like. modern setting, a folklore-inspired power system, enough fantasy to be interesting but not so much fantasy that you need a 400-page lore bible to understand what's happening. for fandom, jjk's startup cost is surprisingly low, barrier to entry is low. which means most of your effort can go into the actual story instead of explaining how the world functions
this is why i can spend a week writing a canon-compliant fic about cursed objects and then immediately draft a modern au where gojo's biggest problem is that he got banned from a discord server. so anyway, i still have exams, this thought was brought to you by my 12 jjk fics in my sperm bank (ideation spreadsheet)
me when i write a really long comment on a life altering fanfic and the author responds and writes something equally as long and i lowkey just reach enlightenment
