Mizuki hosts a ‘Star Wars’ themed tea party and makes Nakarai, Hanbee, Juuzou, Mikage and probably Mizurou all dress up as characters!

Oh, she does.

from @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”

– Mizuki is Rey. 

– Suzuya is his favorite Princess Leia, Hanbee is Chewbacca, Nakarai is Darth Vader, Mikage is Kylo Ren, and Mizurou is Han Solo.

– Michiko dresses as Padmé.

– Hanbee styles Suzuya’s hair into twin buns, and Mizuki’s hair into Rey’s three buns.

– The tea party includes lightsaber duels with Nakarai and Mikage, obviously. 

– Mizuki slips an ice cube into Mizurou’s tea as a homage to being frozen.

– All her stuffed porgs and Ewoks are also present. 

Mutsuki is having extreme night terrors, that get so bad that his kakuhous start convulsing and the rest of the Qs come and wake him up at which point he’s crying because he’s feeling immense guilt and feeling very suicidal, and they all hug him tightly. then he’s scared to go to sleep alone even tho he doesnt say but everyone figures it out anyway and stay with him all cuddled up

TW for suicidal thoughts

“Leave me alone!” Mutsuki’s scream pierces the Chateau.

Saiko stumbles out of her room, Hsaio besides her, but Urie is already barreling into Mucchan’s room. And Aura is close behind.

Saiko and Hsaio rush in to see Higemaru already there, shaking Mutsuki awake.

“Hey.” Urie grabs Mucchan’s shoulder. “You’re here. Tooru.”

Mutsuki gasps slightly. Urie called him Tooru. Urie is here.

“Do you want to talk?” Hsaio asks.

“I just – my family.” Mutsuki’s face crumples. “They were dragging me with them to hell, where I belong.”

“You don’t!” Saiko cries. 

“They put you in hell, and now they’re feeling angry that you’ve escaped. None of that was your fault,” Urie says firmly, rubbing Mutsuki’s back. It feels nice, a niceness Mutsuki knows he doesn’t deserve. 

“Just…I’m sorry I bothered you,” says Mutsuki, shaking his head. He hates himself. 

“Are you suicidal?” Aura asks point-blank.

Mutsuki doesn’t answer.

“Oh, Mutsuki.” Higemaru sighs and settles on the edge of Mutsuki’s bed.

“We’re not leaving you,” Urie says. “We’ll stay here all night. I told you. Over and over, we’re going to be with you.”

Mutsuki’s eyes pool. “But…why?”

“we love you, and we’ll never be sick of saying that,” Saiko replies.

Mutsuki begins to cry again, quietly. Before he knows what’s happening, Urie holds him in his arms, and Saiko is on his pillow. Aura settles by one side, Hsaio the other, and Higemaru remains by his feet. 

“It’s a family sandwich, with Mucchy as the vital part,” Saiko announces. 

Mutsuki clutches his family. His true family, and prays for his self-hatred to pass. 

Naki and Miza’s daughter playing princess games with Uncles Shousei and Hooguro. But! Plot Twist! Shousei is the Princess that needs to be saved from the evil dragon, Hooguro, and nakimiza baby is the handsome Prince coming to save her!

Miza and Naki saunter in their front door, only to halt immediately.

“What…” Miza tries not to laugh. Naki is not so successful, as he immediately doubles over.

“What?” Shousei fluffs his hair around the tiara on his head. He wipes a delicate finger across his brow. “Save me, my handsome Prince!”

“I will!” giggles Naki and Miza’s daughter, lifting her styrofoam sword.

“I will never let you,” grows Hooguro, scampering over the floor like a dog. “Rawr! Feel my flames!”

“I’m a ghoul and I regenerate!” Their daughter stomps her foot and taps Hooguro on his shoulder with her sword.

He cries out and collapses. The little girl whirls around to grab Shousei’s hands. “I have saved you, princess!”

 “My love!” Shousei clutches his heart.

“My love!” Naki cries then, grabbing Miza and kissing her with one arm, while his other arm encircles his beloved, brilliant daughter. 

What are your feelings and thoughts on Irimi and Koma?

I freaking love them, and I ship them hard.
Their transformation from bitter rivals to friends is beautiful. It shows the power of people to change – a theme the main hope of Tokyo Ghoul (cooperation of both species) rests on.
That being said, their inability to erase their past – to the point of self-flagellation and suicide in the Anteiku Raid – is tragic and infuriating. One of the few changes I liked in the Root A anime was the scene of Kaneki rescuing them from battle to keep them from throwing their lives away.
As for right now, I think they’re truly dead, unless Dragon resurrects them, too. And that hurts me in my already broken heart. :‘

A thing: what if Naki takes Miza’s surname because he doesn’t have one?

Can this be canon?

“I now present, Miza and Naki Kusakari,” Kaneki announces as he closes the ceremony.

“Kusakari?” Ayato frowns.

“Naki doesn’t have last name,” Hinami hisses back.

“Hmmph. Well, I think Naki Kusakari sounds nice,” Ayato says stiffly to hide the burning in his eyes. 

“You may now kiss,” Kaneki adds. 

Naki’s face sparkles as he takes Miza in his arms and kisses her with all the passion he has ever felt.

What is your personal opinion about Arima and Suzuya?

Personally, I love them. 

Suzuya is one of my favorites. He’s an incredibly disturbed kid, was tortured and abused and made into a weapon, then given a second chance by an adult who showed him love and he actually responded to it. T-T

I think, now, his dependence on “what Mr. Shinohara would want” has become an crutch for ignoring his own feelings and ideas. The manga depicts him as very distressed over Furuta’s actions, yet he still tried to kill Kaneki and exhibited cruelty towards Hinami and Touka. I hope he reckons further with his past and moves ever onwards.

Arima is a fascinating character. His suicide hurts my soul. The poetic lines on how he always hated himself, who only lived to take from others, are heartbreaking. And yet…his plan required allowing countless ghouls to suffer and die, and female ghouls to be raped over and over by Tsuneyoshi. And then, what was Arima’s actual plan – for everyone to turn into ghouls? For Kaneki to be the strong leader he wanted Kaneki to be, but Kaneki was not? 

Idk, what I’m trying to say is Arima is shrouded in mystery still. I think there’s a lot more to discover about him. 

And while Furuta’s plan involved more outward genocide and bloodshed, Arima’s plan still relied on allowed ghoul’s unfair deaths and rape to continue. So was Arima’s plan better than Furuta’s, in actuality? Eh…I think it was, because Arima ultimately did want peace, while Furuta primarily wants to die. I understand why Arima did what he did, and why Furuta did what he did, and I mourn the actions of both (and I suspect Arima did too). 

All that to say, Arima is a fucking amazing, well-developed, beautiful character. If he ever crossed into the Snk world, he, Erwin Smith, and Eren Kruger would have a lot to talk about. ❤

Okay but what is human!Seidou’s reaction to working out that Houji used to be a thing with Tatata

– He’s stunned. He ignores it for a while. It takes Akira commenting on it before he finally faces the truth.

– Bursts into Houji’s office, having done a shot with Akira for bravery. WHAT THE FUCK HOUJI.

– YOU FUCKED TATARA.

– Houji is more concerned about the crudeness of Seidou’s language than the rest.

– “Did you like him?” When Houji refuses to answer, Seidou knows it’s an answer itself, and goes into shock.

– Houji calls Akira and Amon to escort Seidou home for the day, and threatens to kill them all if word ever leaks about this. 

– So Akira and amon take Seidou to a bar to cope further. 

Could please do headcanons about Ayato and Tatara being with a human partner?

Ayato

– Confident in his SO’s abilities to take care of themselves.

– But over time, Eto suggests he let his SO live in Aogiri HQ for their safety, and he knows it’s a good move.

– Denies he’s in love for a very long time. His SO will have to kiss him and make the first move.

– “God dammit.” He is confused that he’s happy to have fallen in love with a human. But with encouragement from Eto, he moves closer to accepting his feelings.

– Anyone insults his beloved, there will be hell to pay. 

– He’s a bit nervous to have Touka discover he’s dating a human, so his SO takes it upon themselves to introduce themselves to Touka. 

Tatara

– he is very, very, very protective. A bit too much. Any Aogiri member threatens them, and there will be hell to pay. They’ll have to discuss this at some point.

– The human probably helped him out hiding from CCG, or investigated him to find out who he is, and Tatara had to stop them. Either way, they wound up discussing far more than him, and realized despite their differences, they had a lot in common.

– When his s/o found out about Fei and Yan, and mourned them, Tatara was stunned…and that’s the point he will later realize he fell in love. 

– Eventually, Tatara invites them to live at Aogiri HQ…with him. This prompts an avalanche of kisses.

– Despite Tatara’s work in Aogiri, he LOVES their humanity. He’s fascinated. Over time, he finds himself more empathetic towards humans as a whole.
