Yusa finding about Marie’s crush on Nakarai.

From @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”

– he at first pretends it doesn’t bother him at all. 

– But Shio and Rikai notice immediately that something is wrong.

– Yusa tries to act tough and stab things with his quinque. But Yusa is not a stabby person, shall we say. So he eventually cries silently.

– But Shio and Rikai seem to know intuitively. They wrap their arms around him and let him cry.

– Shio assures Yusa that he is NOT inferior to Nakarai, while Rikai makes up jokes for “accidents” Nakarai could have.

– Hirako appears and is stunned to see Yusa crying. “What’s going on?” 

– “We’re healing a broken heart. Look away; this doesn’t concern you.’ Rikai snaps her fingers. 

– But eventually Hirako is allowed to be in on the secret, and comforts Yusa. 

Nozomi meeting her grandparents (Houji/Tatara) for the first time~? <3

Nozomi is the devious Arieto child from @hamliet‘s “The (Mis)Adventures of Goat.”

– She takes to Tatara immediately, because Eto’s told her all kinds of mischief tales with Tatara.

– Houji is still processing that Arima is married to Eto, they had sex, and now they have a child who by all appearances would be CCG’s worst nightmare, if CCG still existed.

– “Is it true you’re a stick-in-the-mud?” Nozomi taunts Houji. “Uncle Seidou said so.”

– Houji gets on her good side by supplying the voracious Nozomi with food. He and Tatara often give her airplane rides, or contort themselves into jungle gyms. She likes jumping from uncle to uncle.

– At the end of the day, Houji corners Arima. “Admit it. You like your little clown.”

– “No, I love them both,” Arima says, with a hint of emotion. Which is more than Houji’s ever seen, and that’s enough to satisfy Tatara. 

((Love Simon is an amazing movie. You would definitely love it. Just be ready for some serious feels)) Rin discovers that she is pregnant with Rio’s child (they will be a pair in my story) and has a talk with her brothers and Touka about it before she tells Rio.

I am a sucker for Rio pairings. He needs more love.

“Rin, are you okay? You haven’t seemed like yourself.” Touka eyes the younger woman carefully. 

Rin drops her eyes. She points to the trash can. A white stick pokes out. 

Touka’s mouth drops. “Congratulations!”

“R – really?” stammers Rin.

“Yeah, do you think Ken and I planned to have a kid at the worst time possible?” Touka shrugs. “I can help you bring it up to him if you want.”

“Thank you,” Rin says shyly.

“Does Rio know?” Touka asks.

Rin shakes her head. “I’m afraid…a baby is too much for him. But I want it.”

“Well, you can discuss it. And I think…we will all support you two.” Touka smiles and extends her hand. Rin takes it with gratitude. 

When they enter the coffee shop, Suzuya frowns immediately at Jin’s face. “Something’s wrong.”

“Not exactly,” Rin says.

“What happened?” Kaneki races over.

“Please don’t get mad.” Rin bites her lip. Her heart hammers. “I’m…pregnant.”

The room is silent. 

“No way! A baby! I can be an uncle!” Suzuya leaps up and down. 

“Uh, how?” Kaneki squeaks.

“Ken!” Touka glares at him.

“Please don’t be mad at me,” Rin begs. “Or Rio.”

“Rio! I love him.” Suzuya hugs Rin.

“I’m not mad. Just feeling my age,” Kaneki says. He reaches over and wraps his arms around Rin. “You’re going to be a wonderful mother.”

In Aogiri there’s only a couple of the younger ones that Ayato gets along with, but there’s one who’s a trans girl who’s he’s extremely protective of, and when they have free time to where what they want, she’s nervous to wear a summer dress because she’s nervous she’ll look like a boy, until Ayato walks through with Hinami, both in big party twirly skirts (naturally he wore black)

“Ayato, you have to be the encouragement you want to see.” Hinami bops him on his nose. 

“H-h-how?” he stammers. 

Hinami grins with an uncharacteristically wicked smile.

Two hours later

She’s the age Ayato was when he joined Aogiri. Only she’s joined Goat instead, and wants both humans and ghouls to cooperate.

She knows she’s on the right path, but she keeps getting stuck because of her body.

Because she wants to mold her body the way No Face molds his, but she isn’t talented enough, and like hell is any doctor going to help her. Besides, she’s a ghoul, and surgeries can be difficult to take.

Still, she watches Touka saunter past in a party dress that almost disguises her protruding stomach. And Miza, in a flowing skirt. And she yearns to join them.

“Hey, [name], come join us.” Ayato’s voice cuts through her ruminations.

She turns around and her mouth drops in surprise. Hinami and Ayato walk past, he in a twirly black skirt, she in a pink one.

“We got a blue one for you. Or, really, Hina did,” Ayato admits. His face is red, but hey, skirts are surprisingly comfortable.

She bursts into delighted laughter. If Ayato Kirishima can wear skirts, so can she. “Where is it?” 

Houji/Tatara getting back together (say post-Rushima AU where they’re alive and are working out their relationship), and Houji reacting to the fact that Tatara’s been able to transition since they were last together? You know who I am XD <3

“I’m glad you became who you wanted to be,” Houji says quietly as they sit together in their hotel room. Tatara is on one bed, he on the other. 

They said they’re running away together, but they’re not together, not until they confess everything to each other.

“I wasn’t really.” Tatara presses his hands together. “I mean…you weren’t a part of my life. I always thought I would experience this with you by my side.”

 “Guess I ended that possibility, didn’t I.” Houji laughs sadly.

“Yeah.” 

“I did notice my files on CCG weren’t changed to biological female, though.” Tatara removes his mask. 

“I may be a traitor, but I’m not a bigot, Tatara.” Houji groans. It still kills him to see Tatara’s full face. He’s grown even more beautiful. 

“We’re both murderers and traitors, I suppose.” Tatara looks away.

“We’re alive, though.” Houji draws a deep breath.

Tatara arises and crosses the room to press his lips against Houji’s. 

“I can’t atone for killing your brother,” Houji whispers.

“I can’t atone for turning Seidou into a ghoul, either.” Tatara laughs harshly. “Though I think he’ll figure it out. But I can move on with you.”

“So can I.” Houji allows Tatara to push him down on the bed. He’s kinda excited to see Tatara’s true form. 

Since I love angst and things that destroy people… Juuzou struggling with bulimia/disordered eating?? Since it’s so triggering, feel free to decline writing it!!

TW for eating disorders. 

I highly recommend getting help and talking to people about it if you have one, as we will see in this scenario. Also, you’re not alone. I promise. ❤ 

Suzuya can’t believe he’s doing this again, so he ignores that he is. 

But sometimes, he likes to starve himself. Especially when he’s reminded of Mr. Shinohara, or he sees Marude and the others who’ve mocked him, because maybe if he’s thin enough he’ll disappear from their snotty gaze.

Sometimes he doesn’t feel good enough. So he eats all the sweets everyone brings him, and then he pukes it up. There’s a satisfaction with the dizziness he experiences afterwards.

He staggers out of the bathroom stall to see Keijin Nakarai against the wall, arms crossed.

“Hey,” he rasps.

“Sick again?” Mizurou Tamaki sits by the sinks, and Hanbee leans against the door. Miyuki Mikage stands in the middle.

“Yes,” Suzuya says softly.

“Look, Suzuya, you’re my squad leader. And I love you. But I’m worried,” says Keijin.

“You always do this when you’re stressed out. The gorging yourself and vomiting,” Mikage says. “I’ve been keeping track.”

Suzuya pales. “No.”

“My sister has bulimia,” says Mizurou, swinging his feet. “It’s always worse when she’s stressed, too.”

“I don’t have that,” Suzuya says angrily. “That’s for girls.”

“You can be any gender and have an eating disorder,” Hanbee says with a sad laugh. “I used to be anorexic. I thought I could make myself shorter that way.”

“Wait, really?” Keijin chokes back a laugh.

“Suzuya, we love you.” Mikage steps forward. “Let us help you.”

Suzuya’s eyes fill. “I don’t even know where to begin.”

“We’ll help you with that, too. First step is us supporting you.” Keijin wraps an arm around his squad leader. “And walking out that door.”  

Speaking of appearance, behavior, power and intelligence, who do you think is superior: Kaneki or Furuta?

Appearance:

Personally, I will give this one to Furuta, because I dig the long-haired, quasi-feminine broken boy look (waves to Loki, Illumi Zoldyck, and Shigaraki Tomura). But, objectively, they’re both beautiful men.

Behavior:

Kaneki. Furuta’s fun, and I desperately want to know the depths of his broken soul, but Kaneki’s much more open about who he is, and open to learning about the value of life. 

Power:

Physically, I think half-ghoul Kaneki probably has the fight experience to best half-ghoul Furuta. There’s a reason Suzuya, not Fruit-chan, fought Kaneki. 

Intelligence: 

I’m giving this a tie. Kaneki might beat Furuta for traditional book smarts – but Furuta’s world-wisdom dwarfs Kaneki’s. However, Kaneki tends to hide his smarts behind idealism and willful ignorance, so his behavior doesn’t always match his intelligence. At the end of the day, Furuta’s plan worked because of Kaneki’s past trauma, not because he was smarter. -__- 

In honor of National Trans Day of Visiblity / International Transgender Day of Visibility, any gender identity headcanons for the TG cast?

– I get the reasoning for saying Mutsuki isn’t trans – apparently he’s still using female pronouns now? – but I really hope he is. 

– I believe Nico is canonically trans, but for anyone who doubts this, I will insist that she is a woman until I die. And she probably had a really hard time before the clowns, being both a ghoul and trans, until the clowns welcomed her as she was.

– Karren questioned her gender a lot, and while she eventually decided she was female, she gives a giant middle finger to gender stereotypes and probably wouldn’t return to women’s clothing anytime soon.

– Suzuya is a man. He knows this, and he still doesn’t give a shit about wearing dresses and makeup at times. Because fuck gender roles – they’re nonsense. He eventually gets his entire squad to wear dresses on days off. It’s great.

– While Uta is cisgender, he has totally explored drag. 

– Tanakamaru Mougan. What if Mougan is a tragically closeted transgender female? Whose emphasis on manliness and muscle is just a facade? And Aura Kiyoko is the only one who knows…and they’re secretly in love…but they hide it because CCG would disapprove of literally everything…
