Faking a Relationship for Discounts: Will They or Won't They? (Dionysia Edition)

A/N: I'm finally done with this series :D

It's my first time writing for the Dionysia ghouls so I'm a bit nervous hehe

Frostheim • Vagastrom • Jabberwock • Sinostra • Hotarubi • Obscuary • Mortkranken • Dionysia

» MASTERLIST

You were walking out in the streets of Tokyo with one of the ghouls, when all of a sudden, a staff from a nearby café handed out a flyer.

It was a promo saying they're offering a 30% discount for select drink + food combos.

You were interested. But there's a problem: the discount is only applicable to couples.

You look at the ghoul beside you and an idea formed in your mind.

Jo Kongoza

Shakes his head in fond exasperation as he lets you drag him towards the café.

Another one who does the role of your boyfriend convincingly well.

Not that he needed to try so hard in the first place. The guy's already sweet towards you on a regular basis, it just increased tenfold during your ruse.

Watches you with a soft smile as you eat the food with a delighted look.

Mio Susuhara

Was a little taken aback when he heard your request.

Are you sure you want him to be your boyfriend? (He knows it's just pretend, he's just asking to be sure).

Acting isn't exactly in his wheelhouse so he's not sure if he could play the role well enough to convince other people.

Is a little awkward at first, but slowly gets into the role later on.

Thinks of the food and your smile as his reward for a job well done.

Elias Pratt

Is very amused upon hearing your plan. Goes along with it thinking it would be fun.

We have another very good actor in our midst.

He's very gentlemanly towards you (not that he isn't already). You know those sickeningly sweet gestures you see on movies? He's doing all that. What can he say? He's a showman at heart.

He's enjoying his order and the view of your pleased expression as you eat yours.

Shion Genkai

You don't need to ask this man to pretend. He's already calling you his wife, what more do you need?

This might go either way: he causes chaos inside the café and both of you gets thrown out.

Or he'll behave just in time for your orders to come out.

He will say the food is awful though (even though it's not). You just hope the staff doesn't overheard what he just said.

Whatever the outcome is, one thing is clear: picking him will be chaotic.

i really wish we’d gotten some fan service with romeo like this too……

[im-no-mechanic-but]

I heard the summon for requests, so here I am :D

Haku and/or Towa fluff? Like separately but yeah.

Was planning on switching it up and requesting for another ghoul but I fear I'm too in love with Haku lol

Wrote something quick on Haku for ya! Ending is kinda abrupt, I had to leave for a bit and came back to a lost train of thought haha 😅

Hope you still enjoy!

⚙️: 547 ct. (unedited) | ⚠️: n/a | 💌: Haku Kusanagi x mc!reader | “Glass to a Bird”

It was no secret, to much of Hotarubi, that the seemingly lazy Vice Captain did happen to have a bit of a weakness to certain things. His friends, of course, a good nap, and that weird (scary) haunted doll that seems to enjoy lingering around him from time to time.

Though, he liked each to a varying degree.

Haku Kusanagi liked finding a good place for a midday nap. The sound of rain patter and the scent of the lakeside foliage, wisteria blossoms and dew, soothing any worry into a peaceful lull.

Haku Kusanagi liked having tea with his friends, chatting through reports or free afternoons with the Captain around the tea table. Late nights, early mornings, midday gaps in his schedule…it was common to find him there in the tea room.

He liked (so some say) to spend time around that anomalous biwa that often inhabited the dorms. Recording scenery with its ambiance, the notes sending…many others back to their respective rooms. (He seemed to enjoy it though, so…to each their own?)

But oh, how there was one person who stood out above the rest. One person, who surpassed every one of his ‘likes,’ and made a home right in his heart.

Haku Kusanagi liked spending time with his friends. But he absolutely loved spending time with you.

Even the blind were known to be able to point out just how enchanted by you Haku was. How his entire demeanour shifted to welcome your presence, easily bringing you as close to his side as either of you dared. The deaf able to pick up on how he softened when it came to you. How his teasing lilt gentled into pure affection (though the teasing was always eager to make itself known as soon as you were properly greeted.)

It was, quite possibly, the worst kept secret in Hotarubi.

In truthfulness, it probably wasn’t much pf any sort of relief to know that the captain, Subaru Kagami, was one of Haku’s most supportive allies when it came to matters of your heart, and your wellbeing. Many already falling victim to the retelling of some story of your day with his Vice Captain.

Nowhere seemed safe.

Whatever spirits resided around Hotarubi came in close second, the rest of the house have long come to agree, what with the way things hovered around the two of you whenever you came to visit. Mostly that (creepy) doll, floating along beside the two of you often.

When it came to you, Haku Kusanagi was about as transparent as glass was to a bird. His casual (some say not-so-casual) flirtations from before had become something softer, just as his sharp smirk and lopsided grin had also softened, becoming something fonder. A…domestication, of sorts. Something that gave him love, and gave him security, softening every jagged edge and wary tact.

The worst part wasn’t the sight of the Vice Captain becoming so docile whenever you were around. That could at least pass off as charming, or wholesome, to passersby.

No…it was the fact that the Vice Captain seemingly had no idea. No clue whatsoever, just how docile he had become around you.

That was the painful part.

…Well. At least everyone was in agreement that the two of you were quite cute together.

A HANDY CHART FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THESE. NOTE THAT THESE ARE ALL THE INFORMAL AND YOU IS THE FORMAL SO LIKE YOU WOULD ALWAYS ADDRESS YOUR SUPERIOR/ OLDER PERSON/ SOCIAL BETTER WITH YOU BUT WITH YOUR BUDS YOU CAN USE THESE. 

[heroineimages]

I’m not sure I knew the thy/thine distinction. Thanks for this!

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

sorry to be a broken record every month but christ menstruation is a stupid concept. oooooh excuse me for not getting pregnant, why the fuck is there goo falling out of me about it? grow the fuck up and reabsorb that shit for nutrients.

"Grace Ryland is Rocky's dog" is such a funny fucking dynamic when you think about it

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

But at the same time... imagine youre one of the first ever cosmonauts to make it into space. Then you meet a 10 year old alien dog who cant do 2+2 without pulling out its calculator. It forgets everything constantly and has to keep notes everywhere, like it basically lives in Memento (2000). Also if it doesnt nap constantly it gets even stupider. And you somehow has to reconcile this with the fact that this dog has a better understanding of physics than your entire civilization does. Like the dog knows how the universe started.

[autisticlittleguy]

This isnt better from Grace's perspective btw. Eridians never developed computers, so all their ship systems are steered using basically the manual labor of 24 Eridians. Also theres no radiation shielding on their ship. Actually im pretty sure half the reason why Rocky is always busy fixing shit is because the radiation keeps frying all the onboard electronics, so hes always building and fixing and replacing components

Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.

Both of them thinks the other one is the completely ridiculous and absurd one and theyre both totally amazed at how far the other has come in spite of it

[itblackgirlsstuff]

Me: 'Wow, who falls for these internet scams?'

Me too: With 4 vertical novels apps installed, watching 15 ads to see a 1-minute episode where the villain throws juice in the heroine's face. The pyramid scheme got me and I didn't even see the contract.

[transmechanicus]

Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?

[boybeetles]

Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate

[flurrin]

Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.

[crazy-pages]

In all seriousness, if you live in the US and you aren't familiar with the misogynistic harassment these people in the game industry faced during Gamergate, you need to watch this series right now.

This was the beggining of the current form of the US fascist movement and it underpins the entire thing about it to this day. If you live in the US and Gamergate isn't familiar to you, you're missing critical history to understanding US fascism. I'm not joking even a little bit here, you will understand modern United States fascism so much better if you are familiar with Gamergate.

[cumaeansibyl]

Not an exaggeration. Gamergate led directly to the redpill/incel movement, which white supremacists exploited and colonized. Not to say that most of the white men in those movements weren't already racist to some extent, but that wasn't an active part of their politics until white supremacist recruiters came along and convinced them that the women ruining their videogames were part of the conspiracy to destroy the white race.

That's a very brief summary but you can go back step by step over the past decade and see how they did it.

happy pride month my friends <3

[nanmarie]

those were the days... Picture the scene: Monty Python's Flying Circus ran from 1969 to 1974. Nothing, I mean nothing, had been seen like this before on TV. To really appreciate their courage and brilliance you need to know something about these days when gay marriage was not even on the horizon and most people would lose their employment if they were outed at work. The first Pride Parade was in 1970 and it was only in 1973 that the American Psychiatric Association in their generosity declared that homosexuality was not a mental disorder. Being LGBTQ+ was gradually decriminalized in various parts of the UK and a bit later in the US starting slowly in the late '60's.

Meanwhile, Monty Python was winning over hearts and minds through the funny bone. Groundbreaking.

[markcat]

I think Graham Chapman, the 4th man to join the scene, being gay and being a member of Monty Python is worth noting. He had a partner, David Sherlock, and was publicly open with his homosexuality as early as 1972. I just think it makes a difference in how Monty Python treated queerness in sketches when one of their members, their good friends and collaborators, is himself gay.

[darlingofdots]

Of course the hockey world is scrambling after the Centaurs announce that they just signed Shane Hollander and in an interview Scott Hunter says something like "I am so happy for Hollander and Rozanov and maybe this will start some conversations about what goes on in our locker rooms and on the ice and what kind of organisation we want to be" and then he adds "but also as a player, I am really not looking forward to going up against both of them so, thanks, montreal"

and then something like this

becomes the sports equivalent of "thanks obama"
