REBLOG IF IT'S OKAY FOR ME TO BOTHER YOU IF YOU'RE MY MUTUAL

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion

@dcviated asked: 🔥 reiwa riders

I don't know if this opinion is exactly unpopular, but Thouser is by far the biggest missed opportunity of any character I've seen...maybe ever? He carries his introduction arc, has a fantastic design and works as a good antithesis to Aruto...and then he just...loses...and loses...and loses. It really felt like they just didn't know what to do with him when he really should have just somehow become the final boss/part of the final boss...

@hotelyamato asked: how about vidya games!

The N64 only has like five good games and Mario 64 is not one of them. I respect what the console did for 3D gaming, but quality wise, it's a HUGE step down from the Super Nintendo.

"You could have opened with that," Holly huffed, trying to catch her breath. Her armor collapses into her belt, another swipe to her phone and the Driver was gone. Hand on her hip, eyes rolling, you wouldn't know that this stylish blonde was the hero if not for the fact that she'd been the one to take out the mutant!

With minimal help...

"Okay. Mask off. Who the hell are you?" It's as if she was reading his thoughts, but really, she was just as confused as he was. Yes, she'd been doing this for a few years now, but never once had there been someone else like her... Did Luca know about this? If so, she was going to punch him the next time she saw him.

"And don't try to be all mysterious or whatever. I already know what you look like under there. And I saw your uniform." Holly wasn't in the mood to play games and hide identities.

[orderbourne]

As much as Jin hated to admit it, she had a point. She had already seen him transform. Not to mention that they were, in theory, on the same side. If Jin played his cards right, he just found himself an all new ally against the mutants. After all, it wasn't like his fellow officers were of any use against them...

With a sigh, a finger is placed on his driver and the armor once covering his frame fades away, revealing the young man wearing it. "...Jin Kisaragi. One of the officers assigned to this 'mutant' case. And who exactly are you? It's not often that I meet someone else who can fight off these freaks, you know..."

He looks the woman up and down. If not for the fight that the two had just been involved in, there was no way that Jin would expect this woman of being a fellow Rider. Then again, you could probably say the same thing about him.

"And don't bother lying. I'll find out even if you do..."

[orderbourne]

@psychcdelica asked: Ibuki voice: Sorry you're going to die soon :/

"I..."

"Is that a threat..?"

[psychcdelica]

"Can I try rizzing you up???"

[orderbourne]

"Can't. I have work..."

[dcviated]

"...eh? Wait. Did you already get a response?!" Eira seems taken aback more than Jin. Maybe that's not too surprising on its own. Though still begs mention. Wasn't there a certain etiquette to this? Or maybe she was thinking into the clique-y behavior at the office. Or response times to a lover. Or.

Two. Three four. And five. Five text tone alerts all at once. Now both of them were stupefied. Fortunately, Eira quickly snaps out of it when Jin reads the messages he did receive in such a tone. He didn't even try to act it out at all. Eira would have at least used some inflection. Who did he think he was?

She laughs.

Damnit. He's endearing.

"Well. I believe if she's going to be that invested and earnest, she deserves a response. You started the conversation you can't just drop off. The idea here is to break your unapproachable image, is it not?"

...that may be a stretch on Eira's part. But she had started and was leading the endeavor so perhaps it's inevitable she continues to lift the associated aspirations. Jin needed to have more support in his life. Besides motorcycles and his cat.

"At least text her that it's your cat. As for the call..." Eira gestures a hand, moving air through her lips but not finding precise words. "That's your decision."

[orderbourne]

"It's not unapproachable, Major. It's just-"

He sighs, shaking his head. No...she was right. Jin may have presented himself as approachable, but when it came to more private matters, such as family, he was anything but. Not outright hostile, mind you...But certainly not friendly either. "Mmm...I'll take the call, but you'd better not run off..." Jin mutters under his breath, looking down at his phone and typing out his messages once more. He could only wonder how Minako was able to send hers out so quickly. In comparison, he could send out his own in maybe a fourth of the time, if even that...

[Minako]: Yes, he's mine. His name is Luka.

He paused for a moment, somewhat hesitant to hit send on the next message. [Minako]: You can call me if you'd like.

Not even ten seconds after hitting send, the phone would begin to ring. Considering the speed at which he received a response from her already, the Hero of Ikaruga couldn't say he was surprised...Still, a moment to at least breath would have been much appreciated, all things considered.

"Dammit...I swear she never slows down..."

The blonde shakes his head, muttering to himself. All he could do now was take a deep breath and steel himself for what was certain to be an...interesting conversation. With that, he would click the green button on the phone and hold it up to his ear, turning away from Eira as though that would somehow shield her from hearing his end of the conversation.

"Hello? Yes, Minako. I'm doing well. I-No...I'm actually with a...friend of mine. She-Yes, I...can ask her..."

Jin puts his phone on mute and looks up at Eira, already looking somewhat drained from the conversation at hand.

"She wants to know if she can talk on speaker...It sounds like you've also caught her attention..."

@mielmoto asked: 🌹 = How would your muse react to romantic gestures, expected or not?

Assuming that said gesture comes from someone that he's either interested in or is already in a relationship with, Jin can be shockingly receptive to romantic gestures, despite how stoic her tends to be. You'll never get a big reaction out of him, mind you, but you may just catch his face turning red as he begins to stumble on his words. Not to mention that he won't be able to hold back his embarrassed/excited smile. This is especially true if the gesture is completely unexpected.

...If it's from someone who he has little to no interest in, however, they almost certainly get ignored or blown off in some way...

That said, due to his competitive nature, there's a good chance that he'll try and find a a way to one up his partner in some way...He just can't help himself.

"Hmm...I wonder if it's too late to buy some chocolates..."

@onikumasama asked: Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time

Generally speaking, Jin's a very busy man. Between his military and family duties, it's a miracle that he has any free time at all, so he savors what little he can get. His favorite way to waste that time is usually to look around on motorcycle enthusiast forums and listings on various marketplaces. As a collector of vintage bikes, he's always on the lookout for rare finds. Especially those that are far older than he is.

I need to start following more people/Reaching out to more people.

[orderbourne]

Jin often likes to watch propaganda films documentaries that the NOL makes about him so that he can find the obvious inaccuracies.

...More often than not, he walks away extremely annoyed.

[orderbourne]

"I really can't help but respect mechanics. Their ability to handle machines is nothing less than admirable..."

That, and they're the reason that Jin can even ride his bikes in the first place...

[cloudpools]

Holly had her doubts about this newcomer, but the moment he slashes through the tail, she nods in approval. “So! You’re not all talk! That’s good!” That was probably the closest thing he was going to get to praise. She beckons her shield to return, and it does, splitting in two and shrinking down into spiked knuckles that she slides over her fingers. This combo form wasn’t just defensive!

“Alright! Time to put an end to this freak!” Running full force, she bears down on the monster, fists colliding with its writhing body all the while smile wild under her mask. It was cathartic to fight, to release all of the tension and anger she built up. Holly had never asked for this. She wanted nothing more than to just be a civilian. And yet, she couldn’t just walk away either. Now that she knew more than most. Now that she had this power.

The creature recovers, fighting back, following Holly as she dodges, backing out of the mall’s entrance and onto the street. Just as planned. Sweating and with a sigh, she throws a glance in Jin’s direction. “You know what to do now right? How to finish this?” Holly jumps impossibly high, power building and she comes crashing down, leg outstretched! RIDER KICK!

[orderbourne]

The monster could tell that it was outmatched. The two riders had beaten it down with no hope of retaliation. Lucky for it, the two of them had knocked it down onto the street, where it had more room to run off and escape. Yes! It would get away from these two and live to fight another day!

...Or so it thought.

From under Jin's feet, a sheet of ice would quickly spread along the ground and latch on to the creature's feet and creeping up it's legs, while miraculously avoiding Holly. The creature that had only moments ago been a threat to everyone in the mall had been left entirely helpless as the Rider duo prepared for their finishers.

"I was going to ask the same of you..." Jin responds in turn, pressing a finger to his belt and reverting back to his original blue form. He squats down into a running position, the mandibles on his helmet opening up as he takes a deep breath and exhales, the air around them growing so cold that the breath visibly exits the vents of the mouthguard.

The man takes the lead, taking a running start and diving right into the firefly monster with a shout. As he collides with it, ice would spread across the creature until it's frozen completely solid and as the other Rider crashes into it, it shatters entirely, leaving their shared adversary in pieces.

Despite the revelation of there being another like him, the blonde merely turns his head back to his fellow Rider, studying her next move. Just who the hell was this..?
