Cheritz Appreciation Week 2026
Day 3: Career (if you squint)
Nameless ~The One Thing You Must Recall~
Superhero!Red x Villain!Cookie Girl AU Fic
A girl with long chestnut brown hair and bangs that concealed her right eye snickered to herself.
The thrill she felt was almost too much to bear. She was practically shivering with anticipation.
For some time now she had known that Red from her high school was the true identity of the red hero in the super team known as the Warriors of Justice. (Looking back now it all seems so obvious). And ever since then she had worked tirelessly to concoct a special elixir just for him. The adrenaline that coursed through her veins every time she thought of his radiant smile crumpling into a pitiful, helpless tremor was more than enough to keep her thoughts laser-focused.
In the lead-up to its completion, she had been gifting Red a package of a certain highly-sought-after brand of chocolate cookies every day, playing off her nerves as the jitters of a lovesick girl. But he didn’t even seem to notice that. So oblivious, she thought.
The day had finally come to begin the dosing. She had carefully opened the package of cookies and laced them with her custom concoction and resealed the package with a hair straightener.
The hand that held the altered cookies shook as she waited outside Red’s classroom. Her breath was heavy.
The bell rang.
She stood like a statue as students poured from the classroom and parted around her.
This is it. I was destined for this.
As soon as Red came into view, laughing uproariously with his friends, a sinister grin appeared on her face. She hurriedly tried to adjust it into a more appropriate smile but a more observant hero surely would have noticed the odd strain at the corners of her mouth.
Her arm sharply and stiffly extended forward as Red approached. She kept her head down and tilted at an angle while her eyes gazed up at him through her bangs. She swallowed and prepared the sweetest voice she could muster.
“Here, take it…I brought it again.”
“Wow! Today again??” he exclaimed.
He always seemed so surprised no matter how many times she did this.
She nodded.
“Thank you!” he said and beamed at her as he accepted the treat into his hand.
Her face abruptly flushed. Her breath stilled. She felt the urgent need to leave before all subtlety could give way.
“You’re welcome.” She managed to mutter before loping away.
Waves of enthusiasm coursed through her chest and down her arms. Her legs felt as though they might give out any moment.
She clumsily rushed to the empty gym, crossed it, burst into the warehouse and allowed herself to collapse to the floor under the weight of the thrill.
“Finally…” she panted, “It’s begun.” Every rapid pump of her heart sent euphoria rippling through her body.
Her eyes fluttered and a half-smile played on her lips.
“I really need to compose myself,” she whispered blithely, “If Red attends my school then there’s a good chance the rest of his teammates do too. And they’re doubtless more observant than him.”
She sighed. “Well it shouldn’t be much longer now. As long as he keeps taking the cookies it should only be a matter of weeks before he’s completely powerless,” she giggled, “and then, they’ll all be powerless!” Her giggles grew into a villainous cackle.
-
“Oh ho~ Red, I see your admirer has come to call on you again. Cherry boys like you can’t afford to turn down pretty girls~. Why don’t you accept her feelings and invite her on a date?” Yuri purred.
“Huh?” Red turned his head to look at Yuri, the music teacher and secretly the black member of the Warriors of Justice. “What do you mean?”
“Those cookies in your hand. That girl has been vying for your affections for weeks now. Surely you must have noticed how she looks at you~.”
Red looks at the package in his hand. His fingers flex around it and it crinkles.
“You think so?” he asks.
“The desire and trepidation in her expression are unmistakable~.”
Red averts his eyes and scratches his cheek as Tei chimes in.
“I’m not sure about her. We should be cautious.”
“Oh don’t be so fussy, momma Tei,” Yuri chides, “what’s the harm of young boys and girls falling in love?”
Tei leered at Yuri but said nothing. Maybe she wasn’t a threat but she certainly was suspicious. He had more than a few times heard her utter phrases like “I’ll show them all”, “they’ll cower before me”, “they won’t be laughing anymore when I’m done with them” and erupting into fits of maniacal laughter when she thought she was alone. It was nothing substantial. Probably just childish daydreams. Maybe something from a TV show. But still…
Red couldn’t help but blush at the possibility that a girl had a crush on him. He was pretty popular with the guys but girls didn’t usually try to get his attention. Or maybe they did and he just didn’t notice, just like he hadn’t noticed cookie girl. He suddenly felt embarrassed. He didn’t even know the name of the girl who liked him enough to bring him his favorite kind of snack every day.
-
The villainous brunette sat in a far corner of the cafeteria alone, as usual. She silently traced over the evil plans written carefully in her notebook.
Most tacticians assume that the commander of the team should be dealt with first, and perhaps that is procedurally sound. But crushing the morale of an opponent is just as crippling, and so much more satisfying. No one can fight when their spirit is broken. And the morale of this particular team happens to be all tied up in one cheerful teen boy. Red is the linchpin. Once his powers are out of commission, the rest will falter. And seeing as he is the most naïve and oblivious of them; Red is the soft underbelly of the Warriors of Justice.
She flourished her pencil before adding
And soon he will be crushed by my hand
Hehehe. I’m so clever. I’ll become the greatest supervillain of all time. I’ll fulfill my destiny. And I’ll do it without any powers, she smugly mused and smiled to herself and stared out the window, looking for Red. Where was he?, she wondered. He’s usually out playing ball on the field during lunch.
“A-a…” a familiar voice stammered above her.
She snapped her head in the direction of the voice. Her eyes flew wide open and she hurriedly slammed her notebook closed.
Red stood there awkwardly with his hand clutching the back of his head. He continued stammering and half-starting sentences, unsure of how to begin.
The girl froze and nerves raced through her body. She didn’t anticipate that Red would ever actually talk to her. Why? Nobody talks to her. (Unless they plan to jerk her around). Least of all one of the most popular guys in school.
“Can I sit with you?” Red asked with a shy smile.
“Ok” she said flatly. Red sat down.
“So uh- a friend told me that you giving me these cookies every day means you like me. Is that true?”
There was only one correct answer here.
“Yes.” She tried to force a smile to at least look like she meant it, but she hadn’t practiced for this possibility at all.
“Wow! Sorry it took me so long to realize. Would you- I mean, um…”
While he fumbled for what to say, she took the opportunity to soften her shocked expression.
“Actually…I don’t even know your name yet.” He smiled sheepishly. “Sorry.”
She stared blankly at him for a moment for realizing that was meant to be a question.
“Yeseo”
“That’s a great name!” He said a little too excitedly and then tried to laugh it off before he continued.
“Well um- there’s a cafe called Banjul that my friend works at. Would you like to go there after school? With me I mean.”
Yeseo looked down at the table, panicking silently. I can’t say no. I need to keep up the ruse long enough for the serum to work.
“Yes.” She said plainly, still wracking her brain for references on how to react in this scenario.
“Wow! Awesome!” he practically jumped out of the chair. “I’m meeting the guys to play ball right now but see you then! So excited!”
Red ran away.
Yeseo was relieved to see him leave in a hurry, but the nerves remained.
She didn’t expect him to actually respond to her romantic overtures. She didn’t expect to go on a date with him. She certainly didn’t expect him to be so…nice? To me?
Yeseo allowed her head to fall onto her notebook.
How the heck am I going to carry out my evil plans now? I don’t know how to act on a date.
hi mystic messenger is this anything. saeran shitposting

Cheritz Appreciation Week 2026
Day 2: Fashion
Some homemade pendants of my favorite Nameless boys!
Cheritz won’t offer Nameless merch so my husband helped me make my own :) these are UV resin sealed! (We had to redo Lance 3 times to get his right T_T)
Spoiler under the cut!
Cheritz Appreciation Week 2026
Day 1: Swap
Nameless ~The One Thing You Must Recall~ Red and Eri Swap!AU
(Red as the owner and Eri as one of the dolls)
The dolls are (of course) all sentai-style action figures
Red is a high-schooler who is somehow popular despite being a total chuunibyou
He always talks about how he’s a superhero that is destined to realize his powers one day and save the world
Most kids just play along because they find him endearing for some reason. A few kids actually believe him
He’s great at sports but struggles with his studies. Partially because of his amnesia. He doesn’t remember anything from more than 3 years ago. He just woke up one day in the sprawling field of a nearby park. Next to him were 5 action figures
A kindly old man with no grandchildren happened to be walking by when Red woke up
For reasons he didn’t understand, Red was terrified of being taken to the police or the hospital and begged the old man not to turn him in
For reasons the old man didn’t quite understand, he assented and took Red in as his grandson
Grandpa named him Red for his crimson hair and eyes and enrolled him in high school
But after only a couple years, Grandpa died and now Red is completely alone.
Contrary to his loud talk about being special, Red is secretly very insecure. He’s always had this innate sense of being different from everyone else. He feels misplaced, as if he doesn’t belong anywhere. So he rationalizes that being Special HAS to mean something, right? There must be a reason why he feels this rift between himself and the rest of the world.
Weirdly, the only relief he feels from his loneliness is when he’s with his dolls. He doesn’t dare talk about them or show them to anyone. But they’re the reason why he crafted this delusion of being a superhero
What he doesn’t know is that his dolls have minds of their own. They can’t move and they don’t have any memories from more than 3 years ago either. But they know Red as well as he knows himself
One day he wakes up to find his dolls are gone and there are 4 guys and 1 girl in his kitchen
It doesn’t take long for them to figure out what happened. The question is, why? For as long as any of them knew, they had always been dolls and no one could understand why they’d suddenly become as human as their owner
The former dolls are very mentally fragile. Oddly so. Yeonho with his fear of abandonment, Yuri with his difficulty parsing and expressing feelings, Tei with his desire to hurt the ones he cherishes due to feeling unworthy, Lance with his fear of disposability, and Eri with her gnawing feeling of being unloved. Each one of them is one harsh or ill-suited comment away from imploding. Red picks up on this immediately and although it’s a lot of weight to carry, he’s happy, eager even, to bear it. For the first time it feels like he’s doing exactly what he’s meant to.
The plot follows Red and his former dolls attending high school while Red juggles helping all of them identify and overcome their issues despite not being able to remember the traumas that caused them
However, this mission becomes increasingly difficult as Red begins to be plagued by nightmares and eventually hallucinations instigated by a mysterious doll he doesn’t recognize.
Backstory under the cut! (Idk why I'm hiding spoilers for a game that doesn't exist lol)
Hi my name is Vash "Spikey" The Stampede Humanoid Typhoon $$66000000000 Man and I have spiked blonde hair (that's how I got my nickame) with black streaks that symbolize my decay and eventual death and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Millions Knives (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here BECAUSE HE'S DANGEROUS!). I'm not related to Rem Saverem but I wish I was because she raised me like her own flesh and blood. I'm a Plant but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also a gunman, and I go to a former colony called Home in an old spaceship where I'm considered family and a friend (I'm 152 years old). I'm a punk (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly leather. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a red coat with long drapey bullet-ridden coattails around it and a black leather crop top, black leather pants and black combat boots. I was wearing my prosthetic arm, my gun holster, black gloves and orange tinted shades. I was walking outside the saloon. It was not snowing or raining because this is a desert planet my brother and I doomed humanity to live on, which I was very guilty about. A lot of bounty hunters stared at me. I showed love and peace to them.
I believe in you
I’M CRYING!!!!!!!! THIS IS PERFECT
i love these two-theyre the only two dolls actually friendly with one another :,) i feel like red thinks hes a protective big brother guiding yeonho on the path of justice, but usually it ends up with both of them in trouble, and scolded by tei lol
When someone asks u to take a selfie with him
Take this Red guy and love him, okay?

I'm replaying Nameless again and I actually found a kind of pattern with the bad endings: the dolls' absence. Idk how to explain it properly but idek what it properly means but I'll try my best-
Basically, the pattern of how present the dolls are in their bad endings or more like them being separated from Eri in some way: in Lance's 2nd bad ending, Eri gets run over by traffic and Lance isn't seen until the very end; in Yeonho's 3rd bad ending he just disappears; Yuri actually has 3 bad endings where he isn't present, 1 where he leaves for a new career, 2 where Eri leaves him for Tei.
However, that pattern changes with Tei and Red. Tei is present in every single one of his bad endings, whereas Red is present for really none of them: bad ending 1 has Red disowning himself from Eri for the abandoned toys room; bad ending 2 has Tei stealing Eri; bad end 3 has Red stuck in the tv; bad end 4 shows Eri stuck on the merry-go-round; and finally bad end 5 has Eri in hospital.
I've only just noticed this pattern now but I think it's quite interesting. I'm not sure what it says about Lance, Yeonho and Yuri tbh, but for Tei and Red it kind of implies that Tei's presence is what causes problems, whereas Red's absence causes problems the same, almost implying the opposite would happen if Tei were absent and Red were present.
I don't really know how to interpret bad endings tbh, cuz they could simply be just alternate events caused by making the wrong decisions but Yeonho's 1st bad ending has always irked me cuz of how strange it is. Not to mention just how up to interpretation Red's 3rd bad end is.
I also take Red's absence to further demonstrate that nothing he does would ever hurt the Heroine: the closest he's gotten to hurting her would be pressuring her to join the drama club at the start of the route. Every other doll has hurt her in some way, especially in bad endings: Lance kind of attacked her in his 1st bad ending (and ngl kinda borderline sexually assaulted her); Yeonho tried to kill her in the 2nd bad end; Yuri commits crimes on a daily basis and we're not even mentioning his 2nd bad end; and finally, everything Tei does goes without saying.
Not even in his bad endings does Red hurt Eri. When he's frustrated about not being able to save her, he internalises those feelings and disowns and abandons himself, in a way which I am almost sure is a metaphor for suicide and depression. When he fails to get his special powers even after saving her, he uhhh gets consumed by the tv? When Eri doesn't show up to their date at Banjul and he finds the love letter to Tei in her bag, he doesn't even shout at her (let alone try to strangle or drug her) but instead he rightfully concludes that no one wants him around and just decides to give everyone what he thinks they want.
This became a rant about how much I love Red but it was meant to be a post trying to analyse patterns in bad endings
In Red's 3rd bad ending, he made a desperate wish to live in the TV, where life is simpler, and the Wizard granted this to him. From the point of view of the rest of the dolls then, he still goes missing. But this time, it's because he's in another dimension.

Cheritz Appreciation Week was hosted originally in October of 2016 with the prompts: ladies of Cheritz, candy/sweet pastries, sky/space, LGBT, body swap, flower crown, and thank you Cheritz. Today, Cheritz has a whole new game that did not exist at the time that the original fan week took place, as well as more fans, more fan content, and more DLC! Last year, I hosted it with the prompts: domestic, trio, apology, solar, cherry, thank you, surprise.
Approaching Mystic Messenger's 10th birthday, what's not to appreciate? Let's all come back together this year to appreciate Cheritz again <3
"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane
one has you making posts like "okay but if the author UNDERSTOOD the POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of the story they were telling, and leaned into it, it would actually be a really interesting exploration of..."
the other has you pacing your bedroom at one in the morning going "why. why would you ever in a million years do it like that. genuinely what possible thought process was involved. was the writer possessed by a fucking ghost or something."
I’m gonna rant about Hakuoki for a sec.
Shinpachi’s route was SO good. Everything I was dismayed about in Kyoto Winds was more than answered in Edo Blossoms. I could not even believe how satisfying it was. It was overwhelmingly top notch.
Which is why it’s all the more confusing what they did to Sanan in Edo Blossoms. I like Sanan and don’t get me wrong, the writing of the romantic parts in Sanan’s route was great. So why was all of the plot around it SO bad?? Particularly how the main villain’s motivations and goals were changed drastically to be completely nonsensical for no apparent reason! Why???? They didn’t have to do that!! Sanan deserved better!!
I’m in the middle of Hijikata’s route in Edo Blossoms rn and it’s even worse! What is going on?? Why did a villain’s intentions unnecessarily change once again?? Why is Hijikata doing a heel-turn?? Why is MC not noticing the heel-turn?? Why is the narrative rewarding the heel-turn by mangling a historical event beyond recognition???? Am I supposed to like this guy?? I did in Kyoto Winds but this feels like a different guy!! Why did they do this?!?!
