Can I have a scenario of Furuta Nimura finding out Tsuneyoshi Washuu, his father, killed his s/o?

Furuta pasted a smirk on his face. Inside, his thoughts raced around like a crazed rabbit.

His father won.

All their precautions and stolen kisses and the feeling that maybe this could last longer than his short life –

His father won anyway.

But his smirk fools no one; Furuta finds himself impaled by his father’s rinkaku kagune.

He’s never seen it before, he thinks in shock.

“Scum,” Tsuneyoshi sneers. “Stooping to sleep with ghouls.”

Behind Tsuneyoshi, he sees the other garden graduates. Hairu steps forward, as if to help him, but Hsaio holds her back. Arima looks ever-impassive, and the Squad Zero brats are crying like they actually care about Souta.

Good. He doesn’t need that airhead’s help. He can die now.

“You do all the time,” he croaks. Besides, [name] was more than a ghoul – they were his life – they loved him – he loved them – he wouldn’t rape his own children over and over – why was he the scum.

A quinque sword glides across his throat, even though Furuta is still impaled. Kaiko. “He’s lucky he’s so useful to CCG, Washuu.”

“I suppose so.” Tsuneyoshi removes his kagune, and Furuta falls to the floor, hacking up blood.

An ordinary man would die. But, thanks to the ghoul genes killing him, he will live another day, and hate himself.

Because it should be [name] alive.

Because [name] made him unafraid of death.

Their voice echoes in his head. “Why? Why do you all go along? Your sneaky rebellion isn’t going to save anyone who dies tomorrow.”

“You’re a fraud and a monster,” Furuta spits.

Tsuuneyoshi swirls back around.

“Not because you’re a ghoul. Because you rape your children and turned the rest of us into soldiers. That’s what they insisted.” Furuta pauses. “Well, Father, remember: I’m pretty strong too.”

He lunges for Kaiko’s sword. He might have died, but Hsaio’s koukaku shields him.

“You!”

“We’re on board. Besides, Hairu’s got to marry Ui,” said Hsaio with a shrug. Hairu has Kaiko on his back, and Arima, of all people, stands beside Furuta.

“Your days as bureau director,” says Arima calmly, “are over, Washuu Tsuneyoshi.”

What do you think the rc types of the ghouls with no confirmed type is?

Itori is an ukaku, flighty and deadly. She has gotten Yomo drunk to have ukaku fights before.

Nico is a powerful but dainty koukaku.

Tsuneyoshi and Yoshitoki are rinkaku kakujas.

Matsuri is a bikaku kakuja, which made Tsuneyoshi dislike him even more. Because he’s the first Washuu in generations not to be a rinkaku.

Washuu Iyo is a rinkaku.

Tatara is a rinkaku, capable of summoning four incredibly thick and powerful tentacles.

Who else am I missing?

Everyone’s reactions to watching ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. I am watching season 2 and I am feeling like i’m watching ‘Sunlit Garden: the series’

Furuta Nimura – secretly writes a ‘better’ version, in which Serena Joy finally leaves and murders the Commander.

Rize Kamishiro – loves all the theories and analysis. Refuses to say why she loves it so much. Probably runs a blog on it.

Arima Kishou – could not get past the first episode due to guilt.

Arima Yusa – Was not allowed to watch. Snuck it and has spent the next three days pondering.

Ihei Hairu – tries desperately to convince herself it isn’t like the garden at all.

Ihei Shio – Snuck it, cried straight through.

Souza Rikai – Became even more determined to fight after sneaking the episodes.

Hsaio Ching-Li – Hopes all the women rise up and revolt. Just like she wanted the Handmaids to unite and defend Janine, she will unite to defend her Sunlit Garden sisters and brothers.

Washuu Yoshitoki – Riddled with agony as he watches, feels conflicted. He secretly hopes Marude watches it so they can discuss.

Washuu Matsuri – relates far too much to Ofglen’s predicament.

Washuu Iyo – Ofglen is also her favorite. She and Matsuri write fanfiction of her.

Washuu Tsuneyoshi – dismisses it as feminist propaganda.

Okay but 14 y/o Hsiao and Matsuri at whatever age at the time just scheduling a meeting with Tsuneyoshi wearing matching t-shirts saying “I’m gay” on them

Oh my god yes.

“Are you ready?” Matsuri’s hands sweat. He smiles at his cousin, who’s supposedly less valuable than him, but he likes sneaking away to play with the garden kids like her.

Hsaio nods before kicking open the door to Tsuneyoshi’s office.

“What on earth -”

“Move aside, idiots.” Matsuri shoves Arima out of the way.

Hsaio and Matsuri yank off their sweatshirts to reveal rainbow T-Shirts reading I’M GAY across the front.

Tsuneyoshi glowers at his grandchildren. “Is this a joke?”

“Nope,” Hsaio tells him.

“We gay,” Matsuri squeaks. “I want to marry a boy.”

“I want to kiss Big Sis Hairu,” Hsaio says dreamily.

Tsuneyoshi grabs his phone. “Yoshitoki? Get your ass in here.”

The room is awkwardly silent as everyone waits.. Arima remains expressionless.

“Oh.” Yoshitoki stops short in the doorway, the moment he sees their shirts. “Is that all?”

“Your spawn will destroy our legacy,” Tsuneyoshi growls. “We’ll get you a new wife and -”

Yoshitoki gasps. “No. I’m not putting another woman through that.”

“Oh, is that how it is? Are you like your son, then?” Tsuneyoshi mocks. There’s a dangerous edge to his voice.

Arima stays silent, knowing perfectly well what his brother and Special Investigator Marude do behind closed doors.

Yoshitoki sighs. Matsuri looks terrified, and Hsaio clutches his arm, determine to kill them all if they try to hurt her friend.

And his father would.

Yoshitoki sighs. His choice is obvious. “Yes.”

“What?”

“I put the B in LGBT.”

“I’m sorry?”

“I’m a man, I’m a tough man, and I’m bisexual, Father.” Yoshitoki looks at Matsuri, who sweats with fear.

“You – ”

“I’m in love with the half-ghoul leader of Aogiri,” Arima throws in quickly.

“What?!” Tsuneyoshi gasps. “What is wrong with my family?”

“I mean…inbreeding, rape, sex trafficking, toxic masculinity…” Hsaio rattles off the words that come to her mind.

“From now on, what if…we oppose V? What if we stop our abuse?” Arima suggests quietly.

“Yes!” cheers Matsuri.

Yoshitoki grabs his son’s hand. “For you, Matsuri, I would do anything.”

“What?! Get back here!” Tsuneyoshi fumes as his family walks away.

“We’ll be in trouble soon,” Arima says. “I’ll call my girl and get everyone whisked away to safety. A lot of secrets are about to come out.”

Yoshitoki smiles at Matsuri and Hsaio. Pride ripples through his heart. “Thanks to these two.”

A scenario from Souta/Nimura’s childhood in the garden?

TW for sexual slavery and Tsuneyoshi being a lecherous skank.

“Souta, come meet my new cousin!” Ihei Hairu tugs Souta by his hair.

“Ow!” He winces. He’s been across the garden to avoid the screams of the latest birth. He doesn’t like people screaming.

“Come on!” Hairu races across the grass to the central tent, and Souta dutifully follows.

“Look at him!” Hairu holds up a chubby-cheeked infant with a wisp of white and blue hair. “His name is Shio! Isn’t he the best?”

Shio cries, and Hairu gasps. “Oh no!”

She shoves the baby into Souta’s arms, and to his amazement, it quiets down.

“Oooh, you’ll be a natural papa someday,” says Shio’s mother, circles under her magnificent eyes. She’ll have a month to hold and nurse Shio, before another Washuu warms her bed.

Iyo and Rize approach, but their faces are considerably more downcast. They’re nearing the age when their bodies change, and soon they know this will be their future.

“Can I hold him?” Hsaio Ching-Li pouts.

“You’re already holding Yusa.” The one-year-old hangs on her hips, and two-year-old Rikai has her arms around Hsaio’s legs. Furuta tightens his grip on newborn Shio.

“Congratulations.” Arima Kishou strides in and bows towards the exhausted ghoul. “Tsuneyoshi is here.”

And indeed, the demon Washuu himself sweeps into the tent.

Furuta nervously offers his dad the baby. Everyone holds their breath for his approval; but Furuta is too giddy that Daddy’s fingers brushed his to care.

“He’s a beautiful child,” Tsuneyoshi pronounces. Shio’s mother sighs in relief.

As Tsuneyoshi leaves, Furuta watches his eyes linger on Rize, whose chest is beginning to blossom. She wraps her arms around herself.

This isn’t fair. He doesn’t want her treated like this. Rize doesn’t want this.

Souta knows he has to save her.

Au where yoshitoki has a spine and supports matsuri to choose his own way and stands up to tsuneyoshi for matsuri also also for Furuta

Bless you. I love Yoshitoki.

TW for sexual assault and homophobia.

Washuu Yoshitoki paces back and forth in his office. He’s caught Matsuri writing love notes to Urie Kuki three times in the last few months.

It’s wrong. Matsuri is married to Iyo until they produce a child, and in that time he ought to be faithful to her. Yoshitoki never betrayed Matsuri’s mother – he even tried to find her last year, until Tsuneyoshi found out.

Has he taught Matsuri nothing about honor?

Yoshitoki tries not to laugh. He’s a ghoul killing ghouls, someone who bred a child and then allowed his family to take away its mother. The mere notion of honor is preposterous.

“You’re not really worried about that,” Marude says from behind him, ever the voice of reason.

Yoshitoki winces.

His son – Tsuneyoshi’s grandson – is gay.

“There’s nothing wrong with him being gay.” Marude watches Yoshitoki carefully.

“I know.” Yoshitoki breathes in deeply. “But Tsuneyoshi doesn’t.”

How can he explain their secrets to his best friend without betraying him?

Suppose he arranges for Iyo to divorce Matsuri. She’ll be happier, and so will Matsuri.He’ll have to ferret her away to freedom of sorts, lest she face Tsuneyoshi’s wrath.

How can he explain this to Marude?

“I don’t know your secrets,” Marude warns, “but I want to help you.”

Yoshitoki half-smiles. “Contact a divorce lawyer.”

“Shouldn’t you consult Matsuri first?” Marude raises his eyebrows.

“Yes, yes I should.” Yoshitoki sighs. Nothing is normal in this family. Matsuri can wait.

Tsuneyoshi, however, summons a Washuu family meeting the next day. This can’t be a coincidence. Yoshitoki swallows.

“Wonder who’ll die today?” Furuta giggles as they enter Tsuneyoshi’s quarters. His half-brother is a strange one Yoshitoki can never figure out. Souta despises V, yet he always angles himself directly in front of Tsuneyoshi, desperately angling for attention he never gets.

Arima nods at Yoshitoki, impassive as ever. He stands with Ihei Hairu, surrounded by Zero Squad children and Hsaio Ching-Li. Iyo and Matsuri stand close to the door, Yoshitoki and Furuta beside Tsuneyoshi’s desk.

Tsuneyoshi turns his dark eyes to Matsuri. “Is this woman not pleasing you, grandson?”

Matsuri chokes, and Iyo turns deathly pale.

Yoshitoki hangs his head. This is all his fault.

“Your father here was looking into a divorce lawyer,” snipes Tsuneyoshi.

Matsuri goggles at Yoshitoki. “Dad?”

“Matsuri.” Yoshitoki stares at him. “I know.”

“Don’t we all know?” Furuta jokes. His face falls when Tsuneyoshi yields no response.

Matsuri shakes. “I – I can’t -”

“What’s wrong with Iyo? I rather liked her.” Tsuneyoshi’s eyes rake over her. “Not man enough?”

“He’s man enough to know he likes men,” Yoshitoki says quietly.

“What was that?” Tsuneyoshi’s voice is deadly.

“Stop manipulating my son. You’ve taken his mother; you’re not taking his love life on top of that. And you’re not stealing Iyo’s, either.” Yoshitoki can’t believe the words running out of his lips. When was his soul replaced with Marude?

“Father, I don’t understand.” He pleads. “You can’t even respect Souta enough for attention. Why is our family mere tools to you?”

Tsuneyoshi glares daggers at Yoshitoki. “Do you want to die under a quinque?”

“It won’t be mine,” Arima says quietly.

“Souta would, right?” Tsuneyoshi smiles at Souta, and for a moment, the boy’s face brightens.

“It’d be all of us against you, old man.” Furuta sniffs.

Yoshitoki remembers the parting kiss from his wife, the plea that he raise their child well. If you have to fight for him, fight.

And he responded, I will.

He’s long hated that he never fought for her. He will damn sure fight for her son, and all the sons and daughters of the Washuus.

Yoshitoki yanks open the office door. “Let’s go, Matsuri, Iyo.”

To Tsuneyoshi’s ire, the entire family files out of his office.

“Get back here.”

“We’re done lying!” taunts Furuta. “Well, lying for you.”

He angles himself closer to Yoshitoki, with the same eager eyes he bestows on Tsuneyoshi.

Yoshitoki smiles at him, and Furuta gasps with happiness.

“Father.” Outside the mansion, Matsuri has tears in his eyes.

“I know you think you’ve disappointed me. You haven’t – I’ve been the disappointment of a father.” Yoshitoki embraces his son. “I’m sorry I ignored your pain.”

Matsuri hiccups. “I love you, Dad.”

Arieto. Just… Arieto.

You’ve brought this upon yourself.

“If we’re only talking exterminations, we’ve got good results.” Tsuneyoshi Washuu glowers at the two men before him. “But we failed to capture the crucial owl.”

Arima stands beside his half-brother, before their father, silent and diligent as always.

It’s Yoshitoki, the kind one who once protested why his brother was kept in a garden and not in their house with him, the one Arima can’t trust now, who speaks. “We are deeply sorry, sir.”

The owl’s laughing eyes stare up at Arima. He has her pressed into his bed not even a week ago. Morning light filters around them. She’s free and dangerous and unique, and kissing him with a ferocity unmatched in even her fighting – which he also knows is pretty damn ferocious.

Tsuneyoshi’s expression remains stern. His displeasure oozes from him. “We must defeat Aogiri’s One-Eyed Owl – no, the One-Eyed King -”

Arima feels completely alone.

“King and Owl, we are,” she once sang into his ear, and he pushed her away, and she pouted and told him this was why he’d never been with anyone.

She’d caught him in a particularly low point, and then she realized his insecurities.

“Aw, I’m sorry. I can show you,” she suggested, and he felt more frightened than he’d ever been, but he found himself nodding.

Yoshitoki was supposed to breed. Arima was a failure and good for death. But Eto taught him that lovemaking could be just that – love – and that ideals meant more than familial duty.

“Whether or not it’s worth it will depend on your actions. Kishou, you have ownership rights.” Tsuneyoshi nods.

Arima always feels a little sad when Tsuneyoshi calls him Kishou. It’s a familiarity that feels like disrespect, because Tsuneyoshi doesn’t know him and never will.

Eto knows a thing or two about parental conflict. Not that she’s dealt with hers well, to Arima’s mind, but at least she sympathizes.

Arima bows to his father. Ownership rights were Eto’s idea. She already calls Kaneki their child, and she has the perfect new name for him – Haise Sasaki.

It’s the name she told him she would have picked for a kid if they lived in a world where they could marry and live happily ever after, like “a fucking fairy tale.”

She’s profane and childlike, and he loves her. They’re the One-Eyed King and the One-Eyed Owl, and like Eto reminds him, “Put together we’re a full set of eyes.”
