hi there, I'm Leon. This is now my new main blog. It used to be @lion-magnus-archive and I'm still working on setting everything up. It's gonna be a WIP for a while. not sure what i'm gonna be using them for, but i also got three side blogs, @lion-magnus , @9jou-tenn , and @gaku-tenn
You are aware that a fictional character is just a rhetorical construct designed to fulfill a narrative/thematic purpose right? That their actions are written by an author who wants to use them to explore complex ideas and moral gray areas within the safe confines of fiction right? That they aren't a real person who has killed real people right?

Takanashi Tsumugi: Thank you for your hard work, Momo-san! I’m looking forward to today’s Dolcolle interview!
Momo: Thanks for reaching out! I heard I’m gonna be laid bare by a top-notch interviewer 😏
Takanashi Tsumugi: That’s right! I plan to ask you about everything, from behind-the-scenes anecdotes to deep questions about Yuki-san 💪
Momo: (/д\))((/Д\) EEK, what if you make me spill all the tea, from my measurements to top-secret stories about Yuki’s dad?!
Takanashi Tsumugi: Top-secret stories, you say!?
Takanashi Tsumugi:
Momo: ∞ blown away lol I wonder if Maneko-chan will use her ace interviewer skills to coax those top-secret stories outta me ( ̄ー ̄) hehe
Takanashi Tsumugi: I’ll do my best to share them with the fans...! >:3 So, first off, please tell us your thoughts on the shoot.
Momo: I got to waltz with Yuki, it was a super fun shoot! I love how our capes flutter all prettily when we’re dancing 😉
Takanashi Tsumugi: Thank you so much for dancing exactly as instructed! You two were really good at it… 🥹
Momo: It was my first time so I was totally lost lol I pulled it off thanks to Yuki leading me through it!
Takanashi Tsumugi: You were really impressive, you kept up very smoothly! ✨
Takanashi Tsumugi: I heard that Yuki-san took ballroom dance lessons for the role of a wealthy heir in a drama.
Momo: That’s right! Ballroom dancing works your back muscles like crazy, so he came home with ice patches stuck to his back every day 🥹 Back then I just watched from the sidelines, I would’ve never imagined I’d get to actually dance like that with him. So thank you for the opportunity!
Takanashi Tsumugi: I’m sure all your fans will be thrilled to see you dance together 😊 Next question, please tell us about a summer memory you have with Yuki-san.
Momo: There are sooo many, but I’d have to say the CD release event 🤔 the one we did on a shopping mall rooftop way back! It was crazy hot that day so we were talking about removing some songs from the setlist, but Yuki sang all five straight through… and believe it or not, the entire stock sold out😭
Takanashi Tsumugi: That’s amazing!! Yuki-san gave it his all, huh…
Momo: We had to do all kinds of stuff back then, wall-slam events, Cheki sessions, you name it. I was worried that I might be using my influence and his partner to push him to his limits, but Yuki took every job seriously. In hindsight, you can tell how hard he tried for his treasured Re:vale.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Hearing your anecdote then looking at the cover again really tugs at my heartstrings... 😭
Momo: I know right?! I feel emotional too... 😭 I’ll leave anything that can’t make it into the interview to “Maneko-chan Editing Power” ( ̄^ ̄)ゞ
Takanashi Tsumugi: Yes sir ( ̄^ ̄)ゞ
Takanashi Tsumugi: Alright then, here’s the last question! From your perspective, what is Yuki-san’s “Shiny Time”, that is, his most dazzling moment in your memories?
Momo: W-Well that’s 24/7, 365 days a year!?!?
Takanashi Tsumugi: I knew you’d say that! It’s a very Momo-san answer 😊
Momo: You got me lol well then, I’ll give you the shiniest brightest moment among that sea of shimmering ✨ Yuki’s definitely the most dazzling when we’re on stage! When I stand next to him, I feel like a plant bathed in his light, I straighten my back and think “I have to be a Momo of Re:vale worth standing beside him”!
Takanashi Tsumugi: Thank you for such a wonderful answer! Yuki-san truly shines in your eyes…
Takanashi Tsumugi: That wraps up the interview, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to gauge out a story about Yuki-san’s father… 😭
Momo: LOLOLOLOL my bad, I forgot to bring it up too lol. Actually…! His dad’s been sending me rabbit chats recently ( ̄ー ̄) hehe
Takanashi Tsumugi: Really?! What do you two talk about?
Momo: He’d say something like “The days are getting shorter, aren’t they?” but right when I reply he stops answering. The way he just pops up outta nowhere and then disappears is kinda like Yuki 😆 But when I said that he got all pouty and said “At least I reply properly!” lol

Takanashi Tsumugi: Yuki-san, thank you for your hard work! I’m reaching out about the Dolcolle interview, are you currently free?
Yuki: Hold on a sec, my AC broke.
Takanashi Tsumugi: O-oh no, that’s awful!! I’ll reschedule the interview, so please go find a place to cool off first!
Yuki: Oh, it’s okay, Momo came by a little while ago and fixed it. Turns out you can make it work if you keep smacking it hard enough.
Takanashi Tsumugi: I don’t think… that really counts as “fixing” it…?
Yuki: Oh yeah. That’s probably why he’s looking up repair services right now. Anyways, I moved to another room so we can go ahead with the interview.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Understood! But please let me know right away if you’re not feeling well ><
Takanashi Tsumugi: Now then, could you start by sharing your thoughts on the photo shoot? You filmed at a flower garden this time around, what did you think of it?
Yuki: There was so much greenery, it was really soothing. I guess it was so comfortable that even Momo dozed off during break time.
Takanashi Tsumugi: It’s rare to see Momo-san taking a nap 😳
Yuki: There have been a lot of summer specials piling up lately. You picked the shooting location for us, right? I got to have that busy popular Momo all to myself. Thank you.
Takanashi Tsumugi: No need to thank me…! But I’m glad you two had a chance to relax even a little bit 😊
Takanashi Tsumugi: Next, please tell us about your summer memories with Momo-san.
Yuki: Watermelons, maybe? Back when we were still poor, I offhandedly mentioned craving some in front of him.
Takanashi Tsumugi: So Momo-san went and bought some for you? >u<
Yuki: No, he actually went and harvested it himself.
Takanashi Tsumugi: He harvested a watermelon?!
Yuki: Apparently a senior he used to work with at some moving company told him his girlfriend’s brother had a friend who was growing high quality watermelons. So Momo went and arranged a part-time job right then and there.
Takanashi Tsumugi: No wonder Momo-san’s known as The Most Connected Man in the entertainment industry…!
Yuki: He’s amazing, isn’t he? Momo pulls off things I could never do, and he makes it look so effortless that I almost take it for granted. But I realized there’s real effort and pain behind the process. He held out that watermelon with a beaming smile, but all I saw was his hands covered in bruises and scratches.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Yuki-san…
Yuki: Momo himself tends to forget his pain, so I have to be the one who sees it at least. The AC broke on me and he came immediately, he spoils me rotten, doesn’t he?
Takanashi Tsumugi: But somehow I feel like that’s a dynamic so uniquely you, it’s lovely to witness. You care for each other and gently support one another…
Takanashi Tsumugi: Moving on to the final question. From your perspective, what is Momo-san’s “Shiny Time”, that is, his most dazzling moment in your memories?
Yuki: When he’s smiling. I want to see Momo smile all the time, but there were days when I couldn’t make that happen. I hope I’ll be able to protect that smile from now on.
Takanashi Tsumugi: That’s wonderful ✨ Thank you so much!
Takanashi Tsumugi: I feel like this turned into an incredibly rich interview thanks to you, Yuki-san...!
Yuki: I feel like I talked more than usual. I guess I was simmering in that room earlier so my head’s a little foggy.
Takanashi Tsumugi: That’s right 💦 I hope the repair person comes by soon…
Yuki: Oh, they said they’d come by today.
Takanashi Tsumugi: Amazing! That’s great to hear.
Yuki: Yeah, all thanks to Momo. I’ll cook him a meal to thank him.
my biggest word of advice to anyone scared to post their work/ocs/involve themselves in creative spaces online is to earnestly get interested in other people. be kind to others, like/reblog their work, tell them what you like about their work, get to know them as people.
this isn’t to “weasel” your way into anything or having ulterior motives or whatever. if you become friends with someone then that’s great! but there’s always something very personal about posting any kind of creative work. we’re all trying our best to connect with each other and the best way to get comfortable is to get to know others and show up as yourself. 🫶🏾
i love queerplatonic relationships where one of them is aroace and the other isn't. i love when the allo character has a crush that fades over time. i love when they don't care what they are to each other as long as they're together. i love when romance is an option that they don't choose. i love when both aros and allos feel fulfilled without romance or sex.
