Seriously, I can't understate the sheer amount of fortitude this took. All the internal battles that led up to this were nothing to sneeze at
[2nd sc spoilers]
Even if the Reset branch of this path undos this in his moment of panic and being accosted by Sirei, just this moment in particular hits. You can tell he was struggling to get the words out at first- the inertia king all of a sudden had to grind things to a screaming halt, but of course, he needs the support of others to be able to do it.
Actually summoning that courage to reach out really means the world- and typically, it's the hardest thing in the world for him to do. That's often why he finds himelf trapped in his own head. But look at him here- he took the momentum and laid out what was needed without backing down. This is huge for him, and even emboldened others like Tsubasa to come out and say she didn't want this too.
Yes, it was too late. He'd languished, he'd fallen for the ploy, and it would cost them all so much. But the fact that he took the shock of losing humanity and without prompting, pulled out of his own head, really showed how far he'd come. Even someone like him- between being brainwashed and pushed into the role of taking actions for everyones' sake while they don't even know what to do, his past also hard-wires him for fighting for those near to him - compulsively, even - and for rejecting thoughts he deems 'dangerous'.
I think this is a major part of why I can't take Takumi's story as an 'everyman tale'. Of course, the everyman can relate to the issues, but the 'degree' is the point of contention here- just like for example, the average person will forget things sometimes and be impulsive, but for ADHDers these things are an ongoing pattern and problem. Takumi's journey involved battling with similar hard-wiring that put him in an extremely tenuous position from the very start, and as it happens very few others were as driven towards fighting as him.
And in the end, it's this that is satisfying to turn around for the better.
about the bunny hybrid reader you js talked about.. ineedtohearmoreonthosethoughtsplsimsodesperate ouh i feel like hunter.. #needthat
a/n: you’re so real for this. i just need xikers to baby me. and kiss me. and fuck me. all of them. at the same time. anyway here’s this thing i wrote.
♡ xikers with a bunny hybrid...
ot10 x fem!bunny!reader⋆✴︎˚。⋆
w. nsfw content! mention of reader in heat (so real). basically just a mess of ideas because i'm a freak but i didn't know how to organize these thoughts. // wc. 823
thinking about... a bunny hybrid living in the xikers dorm...
(should mention. this is a different thought from werewolf!xikers x reader... which anyone has yet to ask me about... just throwing that out there...)
they all adore you so much, and you're basically just there to be a toy for them to cuddle and play with 24/7
i like the idea of bunny!reader being super innocent and just being happy to be there because... i mean, who wouldn't?
thinking about ot10 who love to tease you. when you're sitting on the couch together, maybe watching a movie or something, junmin and hyunwoo love to mindlessly play with your little cottontail. they like it even more after they notice how sensitive you are, and how tickling your tail makes you squirm.
or the way seeun and hunter always choose to kiss your neck because they're so much taller than you. they say they're just being affectionate, but they're really just doing it because they like to run their teeth along your neck and get you all needy.
junghoon and yujun who think you're cute when you're scared. you're a sweet little bunny, you can't help it if you scare easy. but junghoon and yujun think it's the most adorable thing ever, so they like to come up behind you and spook you. or maybe minjae and sumin purposely act a little intimidating around you, just to see you squirm when you make eye contact with them.
also. ot10 who are down bad for you. you could bat your eyelashes and ask for jinsik or yechan to do any number of ridiculous things and they'd do it without question.
they would literally treat you like a little princess, especially when they've just gotten back from a trip. traveling stresses real bunnies out, so maybe bunny hybrids don't like leaving the house either. meaning you can't go with them on tour, which is obviously hard for all of you.
so the second they get back they're all pampering you in kisses and cuddles and giving you all the little souvenirs they got you.
they'd fight each other about whose bed you'd sleep in when they get home too, because after a long trip they'd all be wired up and ready to fuck you into oblivion.
speaking of which. imagine ot10 taking care of you when you're in heat... (i went kind of insane thinking about this so... prepare yourself)
maybe they're all just at the dorm, enjoying a slow day off. and you wake up from a nap, heat in full effect. you're dizzy and a little out of it, and all you can think about is how much it hurts. how much you need one of the boys to touch you; to make the ache between your legs go away.
it sounds like minjae and hunter and a few others are in the living room, being a little too loud for sensitive bunny ears. so you find... yechanーwho happens to be in his room, alone, just working on something on his laptop.
so you go to him, all whiny and hot. and he'd assume you're sick, because you're whining about how much it hurts and you've clearly got a fever. so yechan would try to go get help, and the only thing your hazy little bunny brain can think to do is to show him what you mean.
imagine guiding his hand to your sleep shorts, showing him how wet you are, and it dawns on him what's happening and he says something like, "oh, poor baby... do you want me to take care of this for you?" (clearly underestimating how bad you're about to ruin his life)
and then they all proceed to run a train on you because no matter how many times you cum, it never feels like it's enough... like by the end of it they've all fucked you at least once but you're still needy. like despite being just as tired as all of them, your body won't let you relax fully, so you're stuck there just whining about how much you need your alphas.
i like the idea of minjae coming into the room after a few of them have already fucked you (and you've knocked them out, essentially) and he doesn't realize that you're being so needy because you're in heat
so he'd coo at you and be like, "have they been teasing you, angel? yeah? look at you, you’re a mess." (meanwhile hunter, who's just finished fucking you, is leaving to take a shower because you literally drenched him in your cum...)
in the end, they do manage to tire you out enough to fall asleep, but nobody gets out of it unscathed. i mean. they're all exhausted and fucked out and covered in your cum by the end of it.
anyway... that's all............ for now. (i have to stop before i actually genuinely lose my mind<3)

Y'all... I said "Nathan x Jessica" a joke for my pan Nathan agenda, but I feel like it has gotten a bit out of hand (with myself). My monsterfucker self kinda wants to make fanart... And if so what kind of fanart...?😥
