That’s a lot of enthusiasm for something that is inevitably just going to end up being about Beyblade, I am so sorry. To get at least some variety in, I’m actually doing 7 anime, because you sent this 7 times.
Houkago no Pleiades: ends the same, except the hetero main ship doesn’t kiss and instead we get an ambiguously lesbian ending between Aoi and Subaru.Oniisama e: Kaoru and Henmi don’t get back together, Kaoru overcomes her illness and more emphasis with more emphasis on herself and her girl-girl relationships. Nanako’s love for Rei is explicitly acknowledged again.Bakuten Shoot Beyblade G-Revolution: I’m not even sure what I’d make happen but not…. any of whatever that was. Hitoshi goes to jail in my ending.’Beyblade Burst God: An ending in which the consequences of brainwashing are addressed in more depth and also Ashram goes to jail.Beyblade Burst Chouzetsu: Phi is actually revealed to be an alien. Lore about Beyblades and their origins happens.Hugtto Precure: I loved the bittersweet ending, but I’d have preferred one in which Lulu can actually retain her memory and date Emiru.And this one is cheating because the anime conclusion hasn’t aired yet, but I am just assuming it follows the manga and hhhgghhhh…Fruits Basket: Shigure and Akito do NOT get together, what the fuck.
Namikawa holds the thermometer precariously between his index finger and his thumb as if he had pulled it out of somewhere far less sanitary than Higuchi’s mouth. His lips press themselves together into a bored, disdainful line.
“Yes, Higuchi, you are verifiably as sick as a dog.”
“No fucking shit,” the man on the couch mutters tremulously, pulling the previously unused blanket tighter around his shoulders.
Namikawa clicks his tongue chidingly against the roof of his mouth and wonders how soon he’ll be able to leave for Mr. Yotsuba’s house.

Prompt: No Kira AU Light undercover interacts with Teru
Comments: Hrm I was a fool, and somehow missed the “No-Kira” part of this AU until way too late into writing this, but I hope the fact that neither of them are Kira even though Kira exists technically ended up ok, orz. Enjoy!
As Light takes his seat amongst the crowd present at the live broadcasting of Kira’s Kingdom, he tries to keep his expression perfectly neutral. Despite his protests that Kira surely would not be so foolish as to make a personal appearance at Sakura TV, he had to admit he didn’t exactly have a better plan than keeping a close eye on Demegawa and his inner circle. With Japan officially declaring its open support for Kira several years ago, the original Taskforce the NPA put together had been forced to disband, leaving only a spattering of of individuals still committed to bringing a beloved mass murderer to justice. As the youngest member of what was left of the task force, Light was deemed the least likely to arouse suspicion in a crowd of overexcitable zealots; he’d tried not to be offended by this assessment.
To be as diplomatic as possible, Kira supporters were an interesting bunch. After a full month of trying to get closer to Demegawa’s inner circle , Light feels he’s more than earned the right to judge. After all, most of the people gathered appeared only to be here for the pomp and circumstance. Demegawa arrives on set dressed in white robes, brandishing a gaudy baton in his right hand. That’s new. Light observes, uncertain of whether he’s amused or dead on the inside. If he didn’t know any better, he’d have guessed it was a moon scepter from a popular magical girl show spray painted over in gold. Beside him, a familiar face scowls with poorly veiled contempt.
“This is an insult to Kira,” the prosecutor mutters under his breath.
“You don’t approve of Demegawa-san’s…ah… enthusiasm.”
“No.” His tone is curt and glacial. Light can only suppress a desire to laugh as he joins in the others more raucous applause with two polite, sarcastic claps of his own. Teru’s hands remain defiantly folded on his lap.
“Unfortunately, one of the more logical explanations for Demegawa-san’s continued existence is that Kira would disagree with you.”
Teru adjusts his glasses, his lips still curved downwards in displeasure. “Disagrees with us, you mean. Surely you don’t approve of this farce yourself, Asahi-san.”
“Correct, I don’t.” Light nods, turning his face forward. Demegawa raises a microphone to his lips, beginning the taping with the usual tired platitudes about Kira’s glory and Kira’s fight for justice. He transitions seamlessly into talks of donation drives.
“Then why distance yourself from your opinion?” Teru’s tone is measured and over the period of time in which Light has become acquainted with the prosecutor, it’s become increasingly obvious that it’s the tone Teru uses when he’s shielding exactly how interested he is in the answer.
“A habit, I’m afraid. Though Kira may be embraced by society, I was raised to speak wisely.” Though he doesn’t shrug, though it’s almost audible. “Demegawa-san does have a connection to Kira after all, and he has many followers in the audience.”
Teru makes a noncommittal noise in response. “None of those people truly understand Kira. In time, they’ll expose themselves as frauds and Kira will select a new person to help lead the way.”
“Nominating yourself then?” Light jokes, raising an eyebrow. There isn’t a single part of him that doubts that Mikami Teru, if he were recognized by Kira, would be an excellent choice in being an assistant to murder. The man is sharp and efficient, able to distinguish between what was necessary and what wasn’t with a degree of competence that others either lacked entirely or were too polite to act on.
The two lock eyes briefly, and Light’s heart beats just a little faster. Not everyone can say they’ve met.a man who, in another place and time, could and would kill without a shred of remorse. Perhaps he ought to have been frightened or unnerved, but there was something almost intriguing about this minor deviation to the norm of his life.
“No. I lack the charisma needed for such an important task. I am more suited to supporting god from behind the scenes. You would be a better candidate for the role, Asahi-san.”
Surprised Light stares for a moment too long, and then clears his throat. “Coming from you that’s high praise, though considering how low the bar has been set….” He glances down at Demegawa seated on a golden throne. “One way or another I suspect we’d make quite the effective team, Mikami-san.”
favorite thing about them: i mean?? he’s just A Mood tbh. he’s a character that i relate to a lot even though we are very different and i think that’s a big part of what draws me to him?
least favorite thing about them: mm, treatment of women. not that that isn’t an issue w a lot of dn characters bc ohba but,,

random headcanon: he constantly plays his music too loud so that people around him can hear it even with earbuds.
unpopular opinion: he isn’t necessarily a pure baby?? i’m not sure exactly how popular that opinion is bc i barely ever interact w fandom lmao, but.
song i associate with them: poison heart by ramones for purely post-canon matsu bc i love angst!!!!!
favorite picture of them: idk if i have one but that picture of him sleeping on the couch comes to mind ghdgsf
ooi:
favorite thing about them: he is, imo, secretly terrified of kira and utterly willing to bend to his will, despite the outward appearance he puts out as an unshakeable authority figure. this isn’t a good trait, but it makes me sad abt him, so.
least favorite thing about them: LISTEN TO SHIM, TAKESHI
favorite line: it’s a tie between the company is expanding and the missile joke tbh

favorite picture of them: that panel of him looking over his shoulder for the missile line lmao
5, shim / Takahashi sorry I forget their ship name
it’s takamura, lev…
5. how do they hide their pain when they’re upset? do they try to hide their pain? they are both Terrible Actors, tbh. shim and eiichi, in the survivor AU that i automatically operate in for this ship, are very shame-filled people. shim doesn’t feel like he deserves to be comforted; eiichi is used to being berated for voicing his thoughts and as a result doubts himself a lot and expects backlash for honesty. so yes, they both try to hide it. eiichi tends to go quiet when he feels bad and attempts to avoid the topic altogether; shim just tries to power through whatever he’s upset abt. they’re both kind of transparent, though.
