Welcome to the Literature Club!

🖋 You must be our club's newest member, right? It's so nice to meet you! I'm Monika, th-

☁️ Hey, is that them? I wanna say hi!

📚 Sayori, be patient...

☁️ Oh! Sorry, continue!

🖋 It's okay! Anyways, I'm Monika, the club president! I started this club so others had a place to express their thoughts and emotions through writing, but... I can't say that's always what happens... I'm pansexual, and I go by she/it!

☁️ Hiii! I'm Sayori, I'm vice president! Ummm... I'm really excited to start this blog! I did have the idea, after all! Ehehe~ And I can't wait to hopefully make more friends! What else, what else...? Oh! I use she/he/it! And I'm bi!

📚 Hello, it's truly wonderful to have you. I'm Yuri. This blog may become a sanctuary for my thoughts and - dare I say - more unfiltered inclinations to flourish. As for my sexuality, I'm unsure, but for now, we'll settle with sapphic. Please refer to me using she/her or he/him.

🧁 Hey, I'm Natsuki. This whole blog thing is stupid, but sure. Sayori won't get off my ass if I don't do it anyway. If I do post, it's not for you or anything, so don't get the wrong idea! I'm a lesbian - don't send in creepy asks about it! - and you can call me pretty much anything.

☁️ And that's everyone!

🖋 This blog won't only be about literature, of course. We may make polls, announcements, or really anything!

☁️ (Psst! Hey! Don't let Natsuki's temper or Monika's professionalism get to you! I promise this will be fun! ^^)

Click here for the girls' inboxes!

☁️ And here for our dating stats!! ^^

🌻 Heyyyya, mod here hi hello SO here's the deal!! My name is honestly whatever you want it to be, I go by pretty much any pronouns, and this blog is a personal project!! It originally stemmed from my special interest, then what I thought was half-rp-half-fictionkin, but I'm now learning that there's... SOME kind of headspace going on here , I just haven't figured out what yet. so... yeah!!

ALSO!! It makes me really happy to hear that people have been enjoying this blog!! I hope i can keep making you guys happy with my / their(??) content!!

☁️ "Hurgh..."

📚 "I know, beloved. I know. I'll... inform the others? Would you be alright with that?"

☁️ "Please..."

Devoted Darlings

(formerly Monika's Harem)

💜 Girls, I regret to inform you that our sunshine has fallen ill. A member within her troupe went in their trip while knowingly sick, and it was quick to spread to the other members. Our Sayori was the last member to catch it.

💚 oh gosh, how bad is it yuri??

💜 Sore throat, vomiting, lack of energy...

🩷 wtf man why didnt she just not go then

💚 nsts, you know how excited say's been for that trip...

🩷 will yeah but like if one of them is sick wtf is the point of going why risk getting sick just for some stupid event

[ Yuri sighs softly, turning her screen off and facing her attention to her girlfriend again. Sayori is curled into bed - flushed, sweating and shivering at the same time... - and wrapped in blankets against her will. Yuri is knelt next to the bed with a bowl in her hands. ]

📚 "I may not be the best chef, but... with your lack of taste at the moment, I opted for medicinal value over flavor. ...okay?"

☁️ "I don't wanna eattt..."

📚 "I know, sapphire, but... ...just a small amount? Just until you feel better. ...for me?"

☁️ [ with a sigh ] "Fiiiine... but only 'cus you know I can't say no when it's for you..."

📚 "Thank you, sunshine. Now sit up...?"

[softheartthrobs]

🖋 Hello, all! I'm sure you're all aware of our... unprompted and quite long absence, and I wanted to come make an announcement!

🖋 The Literature Club - and the mod! - is graduating in less than a month, meaning we've been rather antsy to finish off the year while also balancing our academics! We've also been balancing things that come with that - like friends finally getting to spend entire weekends together, prom, events... - but with summer and college coming up, we should be able to get more chances to post!!

🖋 However, I did want to say...

🖋 Thank you for spending your time with the club. My club. It means so much that all of you are so willing to... not only tolerate the others, but the nonsense that we end up posting on here. You all mean so much to us - to me. ...and Sayori, since she was the one to start the account, ahaha...

[softheartthrobs]

☁️ "Heeeeeey, Riri?"

📚 "Yes, my sapphire?"

☁️ "(Ehehe-!) Um, I wanted to ask... when did you get a cane?"

📚 "...fairly recently. I had been considering purchasing myself one for a long period of time, but decided against it."

☁️ "Really? Why? What made you get one now instead of then? Can I use it? How much did-"

📚 "Yes, I was under the impression that people would mock it or say things such as 'not appearing to need it', I had a near-faint episode and wasn't near anything solid enough to lean on, you may try if you like, and about ¥4000."

☁️ [ adjusting the cane to her height ] "This one is boringgg! You should decorat- Hey, wait, what do you mean 'you don't look like you need it'?"

📚 "People assume that one must look physically disabled to require mobility aids. Which-"

☁️ "That's not true!!"

📚 "Precisely. As for the decorating, I think I will refrain from such."

☁️ "Boooooo-!"

📚 "...but..."

📚 "I suppose... if you wanted to adorn it with stickers or anything similar..."

☁️ [ with a gasp ] "You'd let me decorate it?!"

📚 "...I would. I trust that you would make it... cutesy-?"

☁️ "Ehehe! Moni, Riri called something cutesy!!"

[softheartthrobs]

I just stumbled upon this ask and didn't know this is filled with adorable and cute girls! Muffins for everyone!

~Muffin Anon

(discretely slides 2 baskets of muffins to both Natsuki and Sayori... and also a basket of assorted tea powder mixes for Yuri and Monika)

☁️ "Ah! Ehehe, you're too sweet!"

🧁 "Come on, when are people gonna cut it out with the cute shit?"

🖋 "When you start realizing they're right."

🧁 "Shut up, nobody asked you, SquidKid!"

📚 "...cute...?"

☁️ "Yesss! Very cute!"

📚 "Ah... Th- thank you for these, by the way..."

📚 "It's a very darling gesture."

[softheartthrobs]

(psst! this is a secret message to sayori! sorry for bad English!)

(is Natsuki more angered than usual? i don't know if it would help her, so i'll send this to you... i sent this box with baking ingredients like special chocolate... i was going to give give it to her, but if she's mad, i don't know if it would help... you know her better than me, so you can help her better than me, right?!)

(p.s. there's s a cookie on top of the box for you sayori if you want it. ✓)

☁️ "(I think so, but... she won't tell me why! And it kinda hurts my feelings. 'Cause, like... Yeah, I know she doesn't usually talk about how she feels, but I just wish she could... trust me, you know? She's more open now that we're all together and all of that, but she gets really secretive sometimes. And it's always, like, near the last week of the month! And then she's fine after! Ugh...)"

[ She groans, visibly hurt as she rests her head in her arms, laid out on her knees. A few moments later, she snaps up, eyes wide with realization. ]

☁️ "Wait, hold on! The last week of the month! Fuck, she's on her period- I'm an idiot! No wonder why she hasn't been wanting to do stuff today!"

[ She laughs a bit, shaking her head at herself before opening the box to investigate the ingredients. ]

☁️ "...oh, hey, wait, Nats has been talking about some of this stuff! Edible glitters... ruby chocolate-? Like, the stone...? ...oh, it's supposed to taste like berries! That's really cool! What are these? ...dandelion? Gosh, a lot of this is really expensive... Do you want us to pay you back or anything? This can't be cheap..."

☁️ "But, yes! I'll tell her that these are from you! Um... I'll call you Choco Anon!!"

[softheartthrobs]

Dear Monika, Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki of the Literature Club,

I would like to apologize for my sudden appearance the other day. My desire to perform is often a detriment when making a first impression. To put my feelings simply: I admire your club. It is a place where those without a moment to themselves are free to be themselves for a moment.

The music club is not such a place. My skill with the auditory arts has allowed me to be, for lack of a better word, safe. But I worry every day about the possibility of being scorned, being cast out of the only place I've been able to sing freely. To put it simply: I am jealous of you all. The love and hope between you is obvious to me, and it is something I hope to have with friends of my own someday.

Music runs in my blood, it shores up my bones, but no number of notes could ever express how thankful I am. Yesterday, my spontaneous performance was an expression of that gratitude, but I fear that I made a bad introduction. Perhaps we could meet again, Literature Club, on better terms?

In any case, I have a question. If you all played an instrument, which one would you play?

- 🎵 Anon

🧁 "HOW DOES THIS GUY-"

📚 "...person."

🧁 "...person... KNOW OUR NAMES."

📚 "Via Monika."

🧁 "...right."

🧁 [ with a sigh ] "Okay, so they're part of the Music Club. Like we couldn't tell."

☁️ "Suki, what's up with you?"

🧁 "Shut up, I don't wanna talk about it."

☁️ "...okay."

🖋 "I suppose I'm a bit biased, but... Piano! But if you wouldn't count that because I'm already in the process of learning it, then I suppose... Ocarina?"

🧁 "...the drums. Or electric guitar."

📚 "I've always wanted to learn to play the violin or the harp..."

☁️ "Um... percussion, I guess? ...the marimba always sounds cool..."

🖋 "Now, if you wouldn't mind me asking a question of my own: how do you want us to refer to you? It's not exactly convenient to... say 'music note emoji' mid-conversation, ahaha!"

[softheartthrobs]

"Oh, ah, hello! I was simply passing by, thinking about music. It's odd to think about music and not play a song, or at least play along, so I'll play the part for today."

The odd person brings an accordion to the proper position, and begins to play a moderately slow waltz with surprising skill.

"Ahem. This song is called... Together."

The tune sounds uplifting as it begins in earnest, somehow capturing the feelings of a sunrise on a new day as the musician begins to sing.

"Sunny days, flowering rays, light of the world... Lavender, sweet and sure, concealed pearl... Sweet pink tart, quick with art, ne-ver cute girl... Emerald quill, steadfast will, ink pen she twirls! The club of great heartbeat, the club of true bonds/they're first place with friendship, not silver or bronze."

The song is over just as quickly as it began. The musician lowers their accordion and bows as if on stage, even going so far as to catch an imaginary rose. Then, their performance completed, they turn and walk away, disappearing just as quickly as they arrived.

–🎵 Anon

☁️ "Ah- Wait, come back-! I have questions!"

🖋 "...aaand she's gone. Okay, um... Woukd either of you know if they were a part of the Music Club? (Or if they even go to school here...?)"

📚 "I cannot say that I recall the face or voice, but... their song seems... familiar."

🧁 "Yeah, no shit. Did they make that up on the spot, or are they, like... a stalker? Fuckin' creepy..."

🖋 "Well, don't jump to conclusions, Nats. Maybe they'd just heard about our club or something. You do know that, um..."

🧁 "Monika, we all know you're Miss Popularity. You can say people talk about you. We know."

🖋 "...I don't wanna put myself... on a pedestal, I guess. It's weird. I hate feeling like I'm 'above' you guys."

[softheartthrobs]

Man, the snow going across my city's got me feeling like I've gotta BRACE FOR A STOOOOOOOOOOORM (STOOORM) THE LIKES OF WHICH WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFOOOORE!!!!

☁️ "WITH HOME SO CLOSE, WE MUST KEEP PUSHING FORWARDDDD"

🖋 "FULL SPEED AHEAD!!"

🧁 "...idiots. Both- All three of you."

📚 "...mmhn..."

🧁 "Not you, too. Come on."

📚 "...head toward the island, but avoid the crashing waves..."

☁️ "TREAD WHERE THE TIDE IS FLAT"

☁️🖋 "And then you will be safe!!"

[softheartthrobs]

places this Mabel on your desk

☁️ "IM GONNA GIVE IT A KISS"

🧁 "SAYORI WHAT THE FUCK YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE CAME FROM"

☁️ "THAT'S IRRELEVANT I WANNA GIVE HER A KISS CAN I PLEASEEE"

📚 [ mumbling ] "...where did you come from...?"

🖋 "You know, Yuri, for someone so timid, I didn't expect you to be so... caring, for small... creatures-?"

📚 "Ah... I simply... feel somewhat maternal for this one. ...she is rather cute, is she not?"

🖋 [ teasing ] "Awwww, what's next? Are you gonna ask her to call you Mama?"

📚 [ blushing ] "I- Monika, we've still no idea how old she is-!"

🖋 "Oh? You're not denying it!"

📚 "I-! Ah- Oh, gosh..."

☁️ "Wait, do we even know if she talks. Hello?"

🖋 "...it... seems like it. (This is so weird, I did not program your ass in.) Can you tell us anything about yourself?"

☁️ "AWWW HER NAME IS MABEL MONI WE HAVE TO KEEP HER"

🖋 "Sayori, we can't just keep a person. That's borderline kidnapping."

☁️ "Heyyy, she showed up first and isn't running away!"

🧁 "...fine. I guess she's kind of cute. But don't go blabbing to Sayori about that."

🖋 "I think her reaction enough tells you that she's too interested in this Mabel girl to care at the moment."

🧁 "Good."

🖋 "What, you don't think I'm not bringing this up when she's distracted. I'm hurt, Cupcake. You doubt me so."

🧁 "Monika Salvato, I'm gonna rip your teeth out, one by one."

☁️ "I feel like I've seen her before, but... I'm not sure. It's really weird."

📚 "That's rather strange, Sayori. What could you possibly mean?"

☁️ "Well... okay, don't tell Moni or Suki, but I'm pretty sure I've heard of this girl online?"

📚 "...as in, how, exactly? A model? Author? Artist?"

☁️ "No, a character in a book-? Maybe a short story is a better thing to say... But I swear I've read about her before!"

📚 "...strange. Would you happen to be from a story? ...that would then possess the question of how you got here..."

🧁 "You act like you're gonna kill her if you breathe."

📚 "Well... I don't believe I would, but... she's the size of my hand, Natsuki. I'm afraid of dropping her."

🧁 "You cannot be serious. Don't tell me you 'formed a-'"

📚 "...emotionally protective type of yearning aimed at her being and existence-?"

🧁 "None of you are invited to my birthday party ever again."

📚 "...your birthday was in-"

🧁 "It's a saying. I'm saying you're all absurd. ...jokingly."

📚 "...ah. That's... uhuhu... That's quite silly, then."

🧁 [ face softening ] "...yeah?"

[ Bonus ]

[ Sayori did get to give Mabel a little kiss on the head. ]

[softheartthrobs]

Hey guys, can I join the literature club?

🖋 "Wow, Sayori; who's your friend?"

☁️ "He's our club's newest member! Er... but, uh, that's not set in stone, so..."

☁️ "Anyways! This is Monika, Yuri, and Natsuki! And you already know me!"

🖋 "Welcome to our meeting!"

📚 "A- are you into reading-?"

☁️ "No need for being coy!"

🖋 "We'll improve your uptake-"

🧁 "Have a freaking cupcake! And must you bring a boy?"

🖋 Pfft... the irony between this being an ask from an account made, like, an hour ago? and the issues on your other blog is hilarious.

🌻 Monika istg if you dont stfu im making sayori club president

🖋 You wouldn't dare.

🌻 ...okay you're right but still.

🌻 It's wonderful to have another member (interactor?? fan??) of my blog!! However, if you've come to add MC to the club or expect content of him, I'm sorry, but this is the wrong place. MC will not be featured in my posts, but the Player(s) will be by Monika in suggestion, and the Fans will be by the others!

[softheartthrobs]

🖋 "I know I should be used to seeing death around my... source... but... gosh."

🖋 "I have some kind of... sympathy? (No, that doesn't feel like the right word...) ...perhaps mourning."

🖋 "I just watched my friends... lose me. Like I'd lost them, time and time again. Even if they're other variants of myself and my clubm- my girlfriends, it's still... awful."

[ A very long - and rather tense - beat of silence passes as she tries to make sense of the situation she'd been watching unfold over the past few days, not quite sure what exactly to say. Her mouth opens and closes a few times, each with no syllable falling from her lips. ]

🖋 "...I'm sorry, Sayori. Even if you aren't... my Sayori."

[softheartthrobs]

🌻 Hey, all!! This is super late, but I wanted to say: thank you for keeping this blog alive for a year now! Gosh, this was just supposed to be a fun little hobby of mine, but...

🖋 Ahaha~! Thank you for spending a year with my beloved Literature Club!

[softheartthrobs]

Uhhhhhh

Do you guys know Deltarune?????? If so, what are your favorite characters?

📚 "Oh, gosh, here we go..."

🧁 "I really like Susie, Sayori likes a lot of them, Monika likes, uh... What's her name? Noelle? The deer girl. And Yuri physically removes herself from the room when Sayori brings it up."

🧁 "(But, if I had to guess, she'd like Elnina.)"

🧁 "Sayori's been feeling a bit better lately, so... go to her if you want specifics, I guess? Man, she could probably use the pickup."

[softheartthrobs]

" if anyone finds this im gonna cry "

" but god my girlfriends. oh god. "

" sayori is, like... suuuuper easy. but it's cute, in a way? hot? whatever. she bounces between roles though. like if im in the mood to just feel good, she's got her hands traveling like im... a desert map and she's lost. she doesn't really shave much, but i don't mind it too bad. especially since that means she has a trail down her stomach. love when she lifts her arms and i can kinda see it beneath her shirt. "

" yuri doesn't really like sex. i mean, im not judging, but she's really sweet when she's in the mood. she gets all shy and nervous, but it's nice to watch her slowly relax. for once. plus, she has a habit of putting her hand on my face and just... rubbing my cheek with her thumb while she talks all soft and sweet. it's really cute. especially if she does it right before we kiss. "

" and then there's monika. girl has the best biceps ive EVER seen on a person, but she's not like those bodybuilders who work out just to flex. she only does it for herself because it makes her feel better in her body, but oh my god it makes me feel amazing about her body. and im gonna sound like half the most of the internet when i say this but holy shit her thighs. not even like to look at but she has hidden muscle and oh... "

" that's all please nobody ever find this or ill shoot myself natsuki out "

[softheartthrobs]

☁️ "I know I'm late, but I wanted to come on here and say. I hope everyone had a decent Thanksgiving, whether you spent it with friends, family, partners... I hope you all had good food with good company."

[softheartthrobs]

🖋 "Hi, everyone! Monika here! I wanted to make a quick post to say something, and try my best to explain our inactivity."

☁️ "Moni, I can-"

🖋 "Oh, do you want to? I won't tell if you don't want me to, I just thought it might be easier-?"

☁️ "No, I can... I can explain for myself."

🖋 "Okay. Whatever makes you the most comfortable, okay?"

[ Monika gives Sayori a small kiss to the head, then leaves the room. ]

☁️ "...hi, guys. Uh..."

☁️ "So. We've- Well, I've been super inactive on here due to a really bad depression dip I've been having lately. I know that blogs can have pauses and stuff, but I really just want to post regularly again. I miss having a place to put the silly conversations and comments that go on between my girlfriends and our inbox, but I've been in a really bad place mentally, and haven't had the energy to... post."

☁️ "...yeah. Um... Things feel like they're gonna be looking up soon-? Maybe I'm just hoping..."

[ A very long pause passes by, and she visibly droops a little, like a flower left without water or sunlight. ]

☁️ "I miss posting. I miss having fun on here."
