✺: something my muse loves and never gets tired of

ROCK ‘N ROLL, MAN. it doesn’t matter what he’s doing, he will always start wiggling if ac/dc, kiss, bon jovi, queen, or van halen comes on. there have been times when he’s deep cleaned his apartment for like 7 hours straight and didn’t get tired during the whole thing because he had his favorite playlist on and was jamming the whole time.

he’s very easily energized.

                             ✨ @kodo-kai for SHIPPING MEME. THERE’S PROBABLY GONNA BE A LOT OF ‘OLD MAN YELLING AT CLOUD’ FOR THESE ANSWERS! still accepting.

20 what would push you to drop a ship?

if something rubs me the wrong way about the other typist, whether it be some reasoning like racial or some other social justice harpie thing for me to screech over.

this kinda goes back to the previous ask about dumbass assumptions about my muse. never, and i mean ever, make assumptions about him. they’ll probably be wrong. like, u rly gotta have a great grasp on who he is to predict what kinda moves he’ll make in any given situation. or, how he interacts with the world around him. i recall someone being like ‘what if our muses went on a date and vi was mean to the waitress’ like??? lol????? you really think he’d—? bye, yo lol

my biggest one is that if i feel like im the one putting in the work. if i feel like i’m bothering you when i come to ur IMs about our ship, i’m probably gonna let it fizzle out. communicate. idk how ppl in this community take the ‘collaborative’ aspect out of ‘collaborative efforts’ like ships. waste someone else’s time, i got shit to do. if i’ve spent my time hittin up ur asks w. memes and shit, but u don’t do the same for me despite reminding me ‘hey we have a ship’ whenever i go about my business. i’m out. i mean we can pick up on it later but i’m out for the current time. esp if i see others getting this courtesy. i don’t tolerate being an afterthought. it feels like having my muse added for the sake of being just another number and we aint about that

and sometimes i’m just not feelin it! not gonna try to force anything

if it don’t work romantically, it just doesn’t!

i’m fine with vi having enemies, let’s add to the long list of people that want him dead

@kodo-kai ( sc. )

          his job is a simple one: judge not by the deeds humans commit during their short lives, but how quickly they come to accept death once it’s their turn. mortality, not morality. mortality, not morality. but even figures as neutral as shinigami can sniff out rot in an apple-bunch — and if this man didn’t REEK of it, well, gemini wouldn’t know what to think. all he knows is that souma and touma would absolutely love running their iron clubs through his poor, festering body. that is, should he ever have the misfortune of stumbling upon the carnival when the witching hours are ripest.

          but even though the opportunity is right there in front of him, this isn’t the right place nor the right time. there’s not a hint or lick of the carnnibal carnival in sight: just the same old backdrop of the same old izakaya that looks no different than any other fucking izakaya in japan. it almost feels a little too weird, acting so casual without having to worry about his role. is this what a day off is supposed to feel like? ( if that’s the case, he probably won’t take another one off for another decade. he hates staying still. )

          tattooed hands reach for the top-sides of his pockets, and he stages a few well-placed pats. ❝ ah, shit… forgot my lighter. ❞ liar. it’s practically burning a hole in the left pocket of his jeans. but he needs an excuse to speak with the mucusy man on his right. ❝ hey, i hate to bother you— ❞ god, it feels so good to speak in japanese again. ❝ — but would you happen to have a lighter i could borrow? a good, cheap meal isn’t the same without a smoke. ❞

   “How the fuck was I supposed to know you can’t park on private property? I thought it’s just for businesses!” he shouts, indignant, the tears and snot slicking his face grossly. So what if he got fighty? The image of his Ferrari hanging from a hook because some lady was mad he took up the space in front of her exorbitantly-priced brownstone got him pissed. Maybe he was screaming, and maybe he threw the first punch, and maybe that’s what incited the racist comment, but they accepted his bribe nonetheless, and gave him his car back. He can’t explain why Nick was his first option to go to. But besides the other traveling yakuza here, he doesn’t know anyone else in New York. And he doesn’t like his gang seeing him cry. His nose wrinkles when Nick kisses the bandage, his eyes blinking owlishly in surprise. “Eh… what the fuck…”

    He isn’t often treated with tenderness, given how deplorable he is, and the gesture makes his limp fingers twitch. “I just paid them off. Including the hospital bill. I don’t appreciate people calling me a ‘dumb Jap,’ though.” He shakes out his hand, “So don’t admonish me for beating their asses. They deserved it.”

          “AGAIN, I COULDA told you. I have a clunker I need to park sometimes. Big Apple’s brutal, man.” The main reason Nick wasn’t on the business end of a tow truck hook more often was because the only vehicle he drove on a consistent basis was an ambulance. His shitty little four-door sedan was only necessary for summer ice cream run purposes- but he knew parking laws because, quite honestly, he couldn’t afford to bail his car out from automobile prison if he fucked up.

          “... SORRY.” HE PULLS his hands away, gaze dropping to Akachan’s bandaged knuckles as he swipes his fingertips across his jeans. The kiss was probably an overstep; at the very least it seemed to serve its purpose in calming him down a little bit, which Nick considers a victory. Bottom lip gets sucked between his teeth as the other continues, eyes narrowing slightly in a ghost of a wince. He’s encountered his fair share of acidic language on the job, and he can still hear it clear as a bell: get away from me- don’t you fucking touch me, you dirty fucking Jap-

          “YEAH, NEITHER DO I. I won’t.” He stands up sharply, rolling his shoulders as he moved toward his kitchen. “Blow your nose, don’t get snot on my couch. You want a Pepsi, or Tylenol? Got some vodka in my freezer if you want somethin’ stronger.”

As an avid browser of Japanese proxy sites I stumbled upon something I never expected...

A genuine Yakuza crest pin.

My Story:

I came across a listing for this pin in January 2025 entirely by accident; I was searching for replica crest pins from the video game Yakuza/Like a Dragon Series. This item had been tagged with the series name and nothing to suggest it was anything special.

I was confused as it wasn't particularly expensive, and being someone who likes to know exactly what an item is before purchasing, I left the listing behind. But I couldn't get it out of my head.

Later, I discussed it with @mister-astringent and realized what exactly I had been looking at. A Kodo-Kai crest of the Yamaguchi Syndicate.

I ran back to the tab immediately and clicked purchase... and was greeted with a message along the lines of "this link does not exist/ Item has been removed". I was gutted and honestly spent the best part of a few weeks convincing myself that it was never meant to be. "It would have got cancelled", "It might not be allowed through customs"...etc.

February 11th, relaxing at home while my partner is on the laptop. I am suddenly called over and I am shocked to see that it has been relisted.

Apparently, the item had been purchased in a bulk sale but it fell through, so the listing went back up, however we noted that the information section was now looking different and came with a bit more explanation:

This item was entrusted to me by a friend's belongings organizer in response to a request for cash from the bereaved family. Due to the delicate nature of this item, we cannot sell it in stores, so we are selling it here. (Because we are a second-hand goods dealer, we have contact with the police's Community Safety Division) It is up to the purchaser to use it as a collection or as an ornament. This item was put on sale due to the misfortune of the deceased. Other details are unknown. Width size: approx. 3cm Color may vary depending on lighting. I think this is an attractive item for those who understand it. Because of the organization involved, it is packaged in a paulownia wood box and has a high-class appearance.

Side Note: When doing research, I found that AliExpress and Amazon were selling Yamaguchi-gumi mock pins. Why Though?

The pin makes it through all the checks and customs with no real issues and on Feb 19th my package from Japan finally arrives...

I managed to source some vintage Kimono fabric swatches, so I am working on making an inside lining for the pin to be displayed on, since it was loose in the bare box.
