How it`s like to experience the first descent into the dungeons of Fear and Hunger

I know what you mean and I don’t want to let you down... but if you really want to get to know me... I don’t want you to leave and I want to be close to you, but... can we please just cuddle though...?

Elizabeth early December date... from my playthrough. If anyone cares for more context, it’s under the cut:

my P3 playthrough was really weird since I knew it’s impossible to not trigger romances with female social links, and instead of trying to figure out how to work around it to finish them all, I decided only to do them up until things were about to get serious until I figured out if there’s someone I want to date. 

But the more I played and tried to figure out my thoughts on romance for my protagnist the more I realized that I definitely see my protag as asexual. And I also couldn’t really see him getting into a relationship with any of the girls from SEES or school...

And yet, I fell in love with Elizabeth. And I didn’t want to just tell her to leave on their last date, especially since I did it in December and I felt that Shin definitely needs a good, long cuddle... and so I made my own headcanon on how this scene went on in my playthrough. 

Thx for reading, you get an imaginary cookie ;)

Pfytdgdshja I filled it out in paint, a long time ago so it’s an earlier version than is available now, I really liked (role)playing with this dude, need to write or draw more about him xddd

Blank template

*I marked the priority (P1, P2...) for maxing stats since in the end all of them were at 100% and I was too lazy to figure out how to fill it differently...

Shin* withstood the attack!

I felt that attack physically between my ribs every time, I swear

Notes of an Irken Archeologist pt. 13

So I decided to leave! As in... I'm still on Earth, just, not in that exact place. I finally have a lead, and it's all thanks to Dib actually. So I'm doing him a favour and getting out of the picture. Maybe it's going to be better for Zim too. I think I'm more trouble than help for both of them anyway, with my damn allegience dilemmas.

I got a longer holiday at my job, which was surprisingly easy, and I'm currently going to a different continent, Asia, I think it's called. The reason being, there was an excavation there, long ago, which unearthed a pile of unknown metal that ... may be a wild goose chase, I don't have much more to go on and Dib said that he already knows it's not Irken. But one thing I'm pretty sure about is that with how expansive our history is, it's not actually that easy to label something as 'Irken' or 'not Irken' and while Dib may be an expert by human standards... Urgh, it's not saying much unfortunately. It's still amazing how much he has learnt from his enmity with Zim alone though. At any rate, I just want to check.

...and get away for a bit too.

I just hope Zim's ok in the meantime.

...he's been ok before, why wouldn't he be now, right?

Anyway.

This is more of a short status update, I guess. I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I haven't made any progress since I came to this planet so I can't help being a bit excited. I can even sometimes forget that I'm going to have to deal with humans, all by myself again!

Yeah, I'm totally not thinking about that!

Later.

Notes of an Irken Archeologist pt. 12

I haven't really written here in a while, haven't I.

I'm actually pretty busy lately, if you can believe it. I managed to get a job as a Food Drone on Earth actually. Or rather, a Food Stall Vendor, as my position is officially called. We sell ice cream, shakes, coffee, waffles and such. It's nice because I can actually eat most of the stuff we sell and I'm somewhat training myself to ignore my anxiety more. I also see Gir almost every day, which is unfortunately infuriating most of the time because he already destroyed the stall at least three times in the past month. But I also got to know more humans and I think I'm starting to understand how to fit in more and more so I'm pretty satisfied for now.

I think I even have a... Friend, I think. That's what Ada calls me at least. She's very outgoing and quite dense, but that's a good thing since I don't worry as much around her. I'm just satisfied to be her shadow most of the time. She works at the same stall on different shifts or we work together when it's especially busy.

Zim still calls on me for his miscallenious plans, and I think that's what I still don't know how to deal with sometimes. Especially when Dib gives me "that look", and I feel as if all of my newly gained confidence disappears in a flash. Not that there's still that much of it.

Well. I'm also trying to find more sources to continue my research but it's slow going. Maybe if I have something to show off, Dib will be finally more inclined to believe my intentions.

That's all for this note I think. Finally to the point this time.

Hopefully I'm going in the right direction.

Soooo, there's a bit of a story here... But all in all, my Joker from Persona 5 is a horrible theatre nerd and his name is actually Hamlet, and I also started calling Yoshizawa Ophelia because of that... So I imagine he had to quote this to her at some point in their relationship x')

I used this pic as reference, by @binary-bird , love your art, I hope you don't mind me posting this, but if you do I'll take it down.

Genshin Impact drabble

Childe X m!Traveler (alias: Valia)

"Oh shit—" Tartaglia cursed when the Traveler dashed at him right at the moment he attacked, even though his electric spear slashed the blonde's face. The man, though wounded, still managed to close the distance considerably and pierce his opponent's shoulder. Soon, the Harbringer found himself pinned to the floor as the last of the energy he's been using to hold onto his Foul Legacy form has been ripped away from him and the aftereffects hit immediately: all the exhaustion and pain attacking all at once. He struggled to keep a hold of all his senses and felt his opponent's weight on him, as well as his blood dripping onto his face. He managed to focus his vision and saw that the man also seemed exhausted, but there was a certain strength in it as he continued to stare Childe down in their peculiar situation.

"You can stop being so serious, comrade," he tried to give a lighthearted smile. "You've already won. You know I won't be getting up for a while now."

"Why did you go all out again? It was supposed to be a friendly match. And yet you hurt yourself just to get an edge."

"And you still beat me, so it wasn't a wasted effort. I can't take defeat without giving it all I've got, you should know that much already."

The blonde was silent, but he didn't relax. 

"What, are you worried about me?" Childe smirked.

The Traveler suddenly broke eye contact, and stopped holding onto his defeated foe so tightly, seeming confused. But the hesitation lasted only a moment. He then looked right back and smiled with a weird gleam in his eye that Tartaglia wasn't sure how to interpret. "Yeah, I am actually," he said. "But only when I see you. Since you appear to really want me to kill you."

"Then why aren't you killing me? You could easily do so now. I am still with the Fatui and I will probably keep causing trouble for you. What's stopping you?"

The smile disappeared from the Traveler's face and he just kept staring into Childe's eyes.

"Valia," the defeated man said as he hoisted himself slightly up on his healthier arm, the one that wasn't skewered by the other's sword. But before he could find any comfortable position, his opponent suddenly got even closer and he felt his lips on his own, somehow both confident and questioning at the same time. Tartaglia had only a brief moment of surprise before he returned the kiss, struggling a bit to stay upright but Valia soon grabbed his back to hold him. He felt almost entranced for a moment before another voice broke him out of it.

"Aaaaalright, time out Valia, the weird perfume lady is one thing but that's still a Fatui—"

Both men stopped dead in their tracks and the Traveler suddenly hid his face in the other's shoulder for a moment before turning to his flying friend.

"Paimon, please, I know you're just worried, but please—!"

Childe suddenly burst into laughter that soon turned into pained coughing. 

"Well, you sure know how to both build and break a tension, comrade."

The Traveler slowly stood up, swaying a little but also shooting Tartaglia a worried look.

"Well, maybe Paimon's idea of a time-out isn't that bad at this point."

"Of course it isn't!" the flying fairy crossed her arms. "You both really overdid it today!"

"Sure, mom," Valia snorted and then turned in a conspiratorial whisper to Childe, who managed to finally sit up somewhat properly. "I'm not bringing her next time."

"Hey—!"

"It's a date then?" Childe interrupted Paimon's another would be tangent and his questions was immediately answered with a content smile.

"Definitely."

Corpo V teenager, first meeting with Jackie

The teenager took off the braindance gear with a groan and massaged his temples. Sliding slightly in his chair he unlocked his computer and looked at the cursed mail again.

"Party at the [...], Heywood"

The mail was cursed, the place was cursed, the time was cursed and people were going to die.

He could ignore the whole thing and let it all go to hell. But at the same time, he couldn't. He sighed again, leaning back in his chair. 

It was already nightfall, he had to go soon, see the chaos unfold with his own eyes. He took a gun from his drawer and left the room, and then the apartament, heading towards where the supposed 'party' was said to take place.

-

The whole biz stank like a rotting corpse, but getting involved was a matter of pride, which is never to be taken lightly in the underbelly of Night City. Jackie wasn't a Valentino for long yet, but he knew that much. They got a tip that Maelstrom was doing an operation on their turf and someone needed to be taught a lesson. That much was sure.

He was there mostly as back-up, to call people if things got hairy and what-not, so he stayed behind with a few others. He was young, but he wasn't stupid, he knew that if Maelstrom got involved here, there had to be something bigger going on. Some kind of opportunity that they couldn't lose. So he was ready for anything.

Except for a skinny, red-haired, corpo teen actually sneaking up on him and dragging him into a back alley, before he could even think about overpowering him.

"I don't want to hurt you, please be quiet and listen," the boy said, letting him go, with a hint of desperation in his voice. After a moment of confusion and panic, Jackie quickly calmed down and just looked him up suspiciously, but nodded.

"Look, your guys getting here, both a curse and a blessing. I got—" he suddenly grabbed his head and squirmed in pain.

"Hey choom, you ok?"

"They fucking hacked me. I'll be fine. But I need to leave, now. I think shit is gonna go down soon, and they already know I nicked their shard. You guys want to know what they were doing here? It's all there. I'll give it to you if you help me get away. And..."

"And...?"

"I don't know. I just saw five people I was meeting every day drugged and chopped up. I kinda feel like puking and it's probably not the best time."

They didn't speak for a moment and Jackie could see silent fury in the boy's eyes and in that moment his smart dress and expensive cyberware felt like an afterthought. There was something real in those black, cybernetic eyes. And just like that he knew, that maybe he's gotten over his head, but he'd help the guy.

"You're definitely right it's not the best time, hermano," he put his hand on the red hair's shoulder, snapping him out of the trance. "Let's hurry then, before you destroy my clothes."

-

The two boys were riding for a long while on a stolen motorbike, the red haired holding onto the young ganger for dear life. As they finally stopped, the first thing that the student felt was that the wind was still strong, in fact, it must have been like that because of the nearby water. The bigger teenager jumped off the bike and stretched, muttering something in spanish that the other didn't bother focusing on for the translator to work. He also got off the vehicle and sat on the pier, focusing on the unusually fresh breeze for Night City.

"We're in Pacifica?" he asked, even though he knew the answer, realizing that his voice is much more sore than he'd hoped.

"Si," his new acquaintance said when sitting down next to him, and the Maelstrom's shard changed hands without mention. "Gracias amigo," he only said, pocketing it.

"I should be the one thanking you. You really saved my skin. And you still have no real reason to trust me."

"Maybe not, maybe I do," the ganger shrugged. "I'm Jackie by the way. What about you?"

The red haired boy was silent for a moment before replying. "...V," he finally said. "And that's my contact, in case... well, I'd be grateful if you didn't use it to extort me or something. But I want you to have it."

Jackie looked seriously as V's been sending him the data. "Hey, who do you take me for?"

"I don't know actually. You seem alright. I've never dealt much with the gangs though."

"Well, you seem alright for a corpo kid too."

"That's probably an insult, but thanks anyway."

"Not at all choom! What are you planning to do now, anyway?"

"...get home probably. There's not much I can do at the moment."

"I see. Well," Jackie also started sending him the data. "if you need anything or just wanna grab a bite, then I'm down. But I probably need to report back for now, so see you later, V."

"...see you later, Jackie."

prompt "overgrown"

Trans V, corpo path

He lost the count of days already a while before when he finally looked in the mirror. He wasn't used to this sight, there wasn't much more hair on his face but his head seemed overgrown. There was definitely a shift in body weight, his hips were wider, even though he felt even skinnier than ever. He never allowed that to happen before, it was weird and he felt unnatural. He's seen a ripper concerning his various withdrawals soon after he'd been kicked out of Arasaka, but he hasn't decided to come back since. He was a little out of touch, still trying to keep up with Jackie, but too much in his head to figure out what he needed for himself. 

But that day, with the scissors and his head in the sink, counting money in his system, he figured out how much he needed for hormones and to send home, no questions asked. Maybe he didn't have a stable job, but he could manage some regular expenses.

"Hey, Vik," he reached the clinic after a long walk from Heywood. "I know you told me to come by for a check-up earlier..."

"That I did. And you seem even more chewed out than before now," the ripperdoc looked up from the screen "And I even went to the trouble of getting you the hormones I thought you'd need."

"You... did what?"

"I can still sell them off if you don't need ‘em."

"No, I..." V looked at the parameters that Vik showed him on screen. "That seems exactly what I need. I was just about to ask. I just hope I have enough to pay you."

"Don't worry too much about it. Just sit down, and promise to actually get to the next check up, alright?"

V sat down and nodded. "Yeah, I promise."

prompt "comfort food"

V x Kerry

Kerry was completely lost in his mind and guitar for a long part of the day before the grumbling in his stomach finally started to affect his composing ability. He stood up, stretching, and suddenly realized that there was someone else in the living room. V was lying face down on the opposing couch, groaning ever so quietly.

"That bad, huh?" Kerry said, snarkily, which garnered a response of a surprised yelp and quite an amusing struggle not to fall off the couch.

"Naaah, it was quite relaxing actually, I'm just not feeling well," V answered, looking up at his input.

"Well, I'm hungry, so I thought I'd order something. You have some kind of comfort food?"

The younger man seemed lost in thought for a while before his eyes widened a bit and he finally replied, "You are my comfort food."

Kerry didn't answer for a long uncomfortable while and then burst out laughing, which soon garnered him a pillow to the head.

"Oh my world, you're horrible," he said, still laughing, but a bit calmer.

"I'm tired and I want sex, are you in or are you out?" V sat on the couch, slouching slightly.

"Alright, but then you'll make me some comfort food, eh?" Kerry smirked and sat on his lap.

"I can try—" V's answer was cut short with a kiss.

prompt "total control"

Game over to my made up ending

"Johnny..." the construct materialized in the corner of V's shaking vision, confused, as if he just woke up.

"V? What the fuck is happening here? We were supposed to meet in Mikoshi," he furrowed his brows at his host, currently lying under a desk in a small room in the Arasaka Tower.

"The pills wore off. I won't make it," V said, barely holding his eyes open. Johnny couldn't answer for a long while and only the blaring alarms and shouting kept them company.

"So you went with the Arasaka bitch," he finally said after a long sigh. "Wasn't that at least supposed to go smoothly?"

"I... Killed her."

There was a long pause.

"And her brother..." V's voice trailed off and Johnny took a deep breath before answering again.

"... Fuck V, I mean, I probably shouldn't be surprised, but I somehow am."

"What, you thought I'd just go along with them all the way?" V's hands balled into fists as he tried to keep focus on the image of his friend. "I wanted to use them, I never wanted... Saburo is in Mikoshi. And... Jackie... You need to get Alt the access, destroy this thing to bits, I got the chip from Alt before I got here..."

Johnny squatted right in front of his face. "What are you talking about V, what the hell can I do?"

"Once I'm... gone. Once you have total control. The body listens to you, you said so yourself. You should have no trouble getting to Mikoshi from here. I'm afraid I'm too weak for any confrontation at this point. And they are still on the lookout."

"V, come on, we were supposed to... Fuck." Johnny turned his gaze down to his feet.

"Sorry I killed Smasher already..."

"Don't fucking apologize V. Just don't..."

V raised his hand towards him. "Come on. I'm not holding this against you. It was my decision. Thanks for enabling me thus far."

Johnny looked up at him again, solemnly. "Fuck V... Right back at you."

V smiled weakly and Johnny answered in kind, grabbing his hand.

Secret ending

"You know Johnny, we only have one chance at this," V said, suddenly stopping right before the Arasaka tower.

"Yup. What, getting cold feet now? A little bit too late for that."

"Of course I'm getting cold feet, this is insane!"

"Never said it wasn't."

V hid his face in his palms for a moment, sighing deeply. 

"Need to at least make sure I'm ready. Why the fuck did you not remind me of that before we left Vik's?"

Johnny only shrugged. "Not like you have the time for any operations."

"Umm, excuse me, are you alright?" a woman stopped in her tracks, looking concerned.

"Uh, yeah, sure," V slid his fingers through his hair, which was now slightly disheveled. "You... Annie?"

"V? Oh, I didn't recognize you! You..." 

"Um, sorry, I don't have time. Actually. You're leaving the building? Good," he pushed her slightly away and ran to the Arasaka Tower, waving.

"Still need to prepare something?" he heard Johnny's amused voice.

"Shut up. Let's just fucking do it."

prompt "sunbathing"

"Oh shit," V exclaimed suddenly in the middle of a street, and people started turning heads as he dragged himself to the nearby pier. It was right after noon and the sun was high, heat and bright light making the reaction to the Relic feel even worse than usual, many uncomfortable sensations mixing in one. The man sat down on the pier, almost threw off his upper garments and then lied down on his back, breathing heavily and closing his eyes.

When he finally opened them again, his head no longer pounding, he realized that the construct in his head materialized right next to him, in the same position, in his signature glasses but also shirtless.

"Johnny? What the fuck are you doing?" V asked, squinting his eyes at his friend.

"Sunbathing. Good idea, better than actually doing any gigs in this heat," he answered matter-of-factly.

V snorted at first, but didn't stand up. It wasn't a bad idea after all.

This sat in my drafts since forever, 'cause I wanted to maybe write more about this V with those, but I guess it's better to at least post them as is. I kinda like how the second one turned out.
