Mahosute 1.5 Main Sto Adaptation Congratulations Everyone We're About To See Cain's Almost-dead Body

i get tears in my eyes whenever i think of how karasuno was the foundation of kageyama’s growth. tobio found a team that accepted him & gave him the space to grow as a setter. not being accepted into shiratorizawa was the best thing that could happen to him. because of that rejection, he found his way to shoyo, who would become his lifelong partner and rival. because of his teammates, he finally understood what it meant to be a team. he felt valued and was able to build a connection with people that went beyond volleyball. it’s because he played at karasuno that he’s now able to create connections that help him become a better person AND player. karasuno needed tobio & tobio needed them.

[Birthday] Shino (April 14th, 2025)

Twitter thread | Bluesky thread

Thanks for the lemonade. It's just what I needed after all this training. Want some? You've been standing there watching me all this time. Aren't you tired? Heh, of course I could feel you looking my way. It's not like you were trying to hide it, you know.

Birthday morning

Shino: You said we can do whatever I want today, right?

Shino: Then, you should come watch me train. I want to show you some real cool moves I’ve been practicing.

Shino: Prepare to be blown away!

Voicelines

Shino: … Heath, do you want to go to the party together? …Heck yeah. My birthday won’t be complete without you by my side. …I gotta find Cain and thank him later. …No, it’s nothing. Come on, the party’s about to start.

Faust: Happy birthday, Shino. I noticed you’ve become rather studious lately, and as a result, your grades have improved as well. Keep up the good work. …Heh, I have to give credit where it's due.

Heathcliff: Today’s your special day Shino, so feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as it’s within my capabilities, of course… You want to go to the party together? …How can I say no! Let’s eat and laugh to our hearts’ content and make tonight a birthday to remember.

Nero: ‘appy birthday, Shino. Ya sure have a way with words, but sometimes ya gotta take a step back an’ indulge yer childhood self. ‘Ere’s some warm soup for ya. Now, ya better drink up an’ go to bed, or you’ll never grow taller than me.

Oz: ...Is it Shino’s birthday today? He came up to me and declared he would defeat me one day… That boy knows where his strength lies, and he’s determined to grow stronger. He’s far from being on par with me, but he’ll undoubtedly become a powerful wizard in the future.

Arthur: Happy birthday, Shi– Whoa, where did you find this beetle? It’s huge! It must’ve come all the way from the depths of the forest to wish you a happy birthday. …Right, I came to find you to do just that too! Happy birthday!

Cain: It’s gonna be fine, don’t sweat it! Just go up to Heath and tell him you wanna celebrate your birthday together. He’s gonna fold immediately, bet! Now, take deep breaths a–nd off you go! …Those two never change, do they?

Riquet: Master Sage, look! Shino and Heathcliff are heading to the dining hall together. It seems like they’ve made up. Cain and I were a bit worried, but thankfully, it ended well. After all, there’s nothing more precious than celebrating your birthday with your best friend.

Snow: For his birthday, Shino requested a joint lesson with us Northern wizards, so we're consulting with Faust about it. Knowing each other’s homeland is more important now than ever after all. Our present will come a bit late, but we hope Shino will be pleased with the results.

White: Not only is Shino interested in a lesson with the Northern wizards, but with the Southern ones as well. He’s taking his studies very seriously these days, so they're holding a special classroom lecture for him later. Oh, how we look forward to seeing his continued growth!

Mithra: Happy birthday, Shino. Say, your magical artefact is quite impressive. Could I try holding it for a bit? …Hmm, I didn’t expect it to be so small since it always looks massive next to you. Well, regardless, it’s still a cool weapon to have. 

Owen: Happy birthday, Shino. I have a very special guest I’d like you to meet. It’s my dear Cerberus. He’s not as loyal to his master as you are, so I’d like him to learn a trick or two from a well-behaved dog such as yourself.

Bradley: If ya really wanna impress yer elders, it ain’t enough to jus’ keep bumpin’ up yer age. Ya gotta make the most outta every opportunity an’ put in the effort to grow. Kiddos like you are always lookin’ for that approval, yeah? …Eh? Yer past that age already?

Shylock: Welcome in, Shino. I made you a special birthday drink using orange juice and a touch of bitter herbs to give it an alcoholic taste. You’ll have to get used to the flavour eventually should you want to drink one day. Worry not, I also have a palette cleanser prepared.

Murr: Here’s your present! A lapis lazuli amulet made by yours truly! Even a real go-getter like yourself can feel lost from time to time, right? Well, this amulet can help ya find your way when ya need it! Probably! …Ahaha, got your attention?

Chloe: Isn’t Shino just so~ badass? It’s like nothing can bring him down… OMG wait, this is giving me so much inspiration! I feel like I could make him a ton of new outfits right now! Wouldn't that be an awesome birthday gift!?

Rustica: You and I once had a discussion on love, did we not? Now that you’re older, I’d love to tell you my own love story. I’ll set a table for us, brew a pot of tea, and prepare some suitable music… That sounds like a lot of trouble? Well, love can be quite troublesome.

Figaro: There’s a cafe around here that makes delicious lemon pies, so I could take you sometime. I do know a thing or two about sweets after all. ...Is it really so surprising that I’m up-to-date with where the youths like to hang-out? I am a youth myself, I’ll have you know.

Rutile: Here you go, Shino! I saved the best cut of meat for the birthday boy! …Ahaha, you got me. Heath was the one who asked me to do this since he thought you’d just give it back if he came himself. Look, he keeps sneaking glances at us, so you should accept it for him!

Lennox: Happy birthday, Shino. I hear you’ve been taking your studies seriously as of late. I’m sure Lord Faust has been very happy to see you challenging yourself. ...Now, I should challenge myself and learn how to smile? Haha, I’ll do my best too, then. 

Mitile: Hey, Mister Shino, why don’t we take a study break here and head to the cafe? Since it’s your birthday, I want to treat you to something! I probably can’t afford the most expensive cake on the menu… But hopefully, I’ve saved enough for the second most! 

i've been writing in english for so long but instead of the language fully consuming my insides and acting like a parasitic english-speaking colonizer worm started feeding on my brain, i just ended up fucking my english grammar and conversational skills a lot more often than usual 💀

[Log-in story] Fusetter x Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku

Appearing characters: Figaro, Cain, Faust, Rustica, Bradley, Fusetter

Keep The Secret of Tonight Under Lock and Key

Figaro: Is this the place?

Cain: I think so? That ball of light we saw should be around here somewhere… What was that anyway? It gave me the creeps…

Faust: I don’t sense anything ominous, and the barriers are intact, so I doubt it’s anything serious. We should investigate properly, though. Just in case.

Rustica: There’s something so mystifying about forests at nightfall. One can spot many different critters roaming about, guided by the light of glowing mushrooms and fruits.

Bradley: …Hm? Wuzzat over there, under the tree?

???: …

Bradley: Izzat a… dog?

Figaro: If it is, seeing this kind of breed is a first for me. Have you seen anything like it before, Faust?

Faust: Can’t say I have. It’s unusually long and… pudgy.

Cain: Doesn’t seem hurt or anything either. Heya, buddy, you good over there?

Bradley: Lessee… Giddy-up!

Bradley: …The hell?! It can’t be that long…

Rustica: Is it in the middle of taking a nap perhaps?

Strange dog: …Hruk…

Wizards: !

Strange dog: W-Wah! W-Where am I?!

Bradley & Figaro: It…

Faust, Cain & Rustica: Can talk?!

Strange dog: E-Erm…

Figaro: Well, you don’t see this every day. What’s your name, little guy?

Fusetter: I’m Fusetter!

Figaro: I hope you don’t mind me asking, but just to clarify, you are a dog, right?

Fusetter: Yep! …Whoa, it's the moon! And it’s so big!

Rustica: It’s always been this big. Does it perchance have something to do with your arrival?

Fusetter: Well, I remember looking up and admiring it.

Fusetter: I’d never seen a moon so big and pretty, so I decided to take a picture of it, but… Before I knew it, I ended up here.

Bradley: Where have I heard this story before…

Rustica: It’s easy to lose your way while following the moon.

Faust: I’m more curious how it managed to pass through the barrier. The capital and the market are a long distance away.

Faust: As for what it is… A magical beast or fey of sorts?

Figaro: Could he be from another world?

Cain: Maybe even the same one as the Master Sage?

Figaro: Well, we do live in a world riddled with mystery.

Figaro: It wouldn’t be a first.

Bradley: The Sage never said nothin’ about dogs bein’ able to talk in their world.

Bradley: Say, lil’ fella, where exactly were ya watchin’ the moon from? Got any name you can give us?

Fusetter: Of course, I was at ◯◯◯!

Bradley & Figaro: Come again?

Cain: Sorry, we didn’t quite catch that, can you say it again?

Fusetter: I was at ◯◯◯!

Faust: …Interesting. It’s as if the most important part is evading us.

Figaro: Are you using magic to do this?

Fusetter: I wouldn’t call it magic, but I do have this unique power…

Fusetter: It’s a bit difficult to explain.

Cain: Go on, we’re listening.

Fusetter: Okay, then, can you hold my paw for a moment?

Cain: Of course~ Ooh, you’re so squishy!

Fusetter: Hehe, thank you.

Fusetter: Now, think about something you’ve kept secret recently.

Fusetter: Once you’ve got your secret ready, go on and say it.

Cain: Oookay…

Cain: When I woke up yesterday, my pants were ◯◯◯◯.

Cain: What the…!

Bradley & Rustica: We…

Figaro: Couldn’t understand that last bit at all.

Faust: …Really interesting.

Fusetter: That’s my power: I can keep others’ secrets!

Rustica: Why, it’s just like a little spell. May I give it try as well, Fusetter?

Fusetter: Of course!

Rustica: Thank you. Now, to think of a secret… Oh, I got it.

Rustica: Two days ago, right as I was about to go to bed, I was heading towards ◯◯◯◯, and somehow ended up singing and dancing at ◯◯◯◯◯◯.

Bradley: That’s rad as hell! My turn, lil’ pup.

Bradley: I keep my ◯◯◯ at the manor.

Figaro: Me next.

Figaro: My ◯◯ is ◯◯◯◯◯◯.

Fusetter: Your secrets are safe with me, everyone!

Figaro: I can’t help but feel like we’d be living in a different universe if we’d met you earlier.

Fusetter: I’m happy to help as long as everyone’s getting along.

Faust: …

Fusetter: Would you like to try it too?

Faust: I think I’ll pass.

Rustica: But his paw is really soft.

Figaro: It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you know. Don’t let it pass you by.

Fusetter: Please!

Faust: …Well, it wouldn’t hurt to try, I suppose.

Faust: …Oh, you really are fluffy all over. …Right, the secret. Let me think…

Faust: …I had ◯◯◯◯◯ for last night’s dinner.

Faust: Wow…

Bradley: Pretty sick, yeah?

Cain: But how are you doing that if you’re not a wizard?

Figaro: I don’t sense any magic, so maybe he’s not a wizard but a magician?

Fusetter: You’ve brought up the word ‘magic’ so many times now, so I have to ask… Are you all wizards?

Figaro: Yep, and we serve the Sage.

Figaro: They came from another world, just like you, and under their guidance, we save the world every year.

Fusetter: Woow, that sounds awesome!

Rustica: And we’re not the only ones. Say, Fusetter, would you like to go back to the manor with us?

Rustica: I’m positive the rest of our friends would be thrilled to witness this unique ability of yours.

Bradley: You Western bunch just wanna toss ‘im ‘round like a hot potato, don’tcha?

Fusetter: Please don’t do that…

Cain: Nah, don’t worry about it. They’re a bit of a special case but mean well.

Cain: But Rustica’s right, why don’t you come with us? I imagine you must be feeling quite lost in another world all by yourself.

Faust: And while your situation might be a bit strange, you don’t seem like you’re here to cause trouble.

Figaro: Yep, the Master Sage and kids will love you.

Fusetter: Aww, you’re all too kind!

Figaro: Nonsense. Maybe the twins will know something about you, so we should talk to them and see.

Figaro: Although, something tells me you’re going to keep all personal information to yourself.

Figaro: I would also like to perform a few check-ups on you.

Fusetter: …What’s a check-up? Will it hurt?

Figaro: No, not all. I’m a world-renowned doctor, you know? I’ll handle you with care.

Fusetter: Ooh, sounds good!

Fusetter: Let’s get along, everyone!

my pieces for @kagehinabigbang based off of @icylancet's wonderful fic!

One last mhyk dump

chapter 275

okay. you know there's this scene in chapter 275 where chu wanning rushes to the site of mo ran's trial on his cutesy "paper " dragon?

i love that scene so much.

cwn cries.

2ha is majorly from mo ran's pov, and before 275 you get plenty chances seeing mo ran wallow in guilt and struggle between loving cwn and confessing to cwn what unforgiveable things he did in his past life --

and cwn loves him, he's shy about his love, but since they established their relationship up till this chapter, cwn is mostly passive in the relationship -- i don't mean this as a bad thing, but you don't really see what cwn wants -- he's very very much permissive with whatever mo ran wants to do with him, and he doesn't say no.

but in 275, he fucking cries, he lies low on the cutesy paper dragon and weeps, because he fears for mo ran the judgement that would come onto him.

he tears up so little, like meatbun says everyone just thinks he's the unreachable "white moonlight" the most honourable person in the world -- but for mo ran he breaks down, gets really vulnerable, and at the end of the day he is just a lover freaking out for the atrocities their partner is about to suffer.

also in the scene where cwn consoles mo ran in his semi-confession/breakdown, and the ending scene where cwn flees back their home at the nanping mountains, cwn is leading taking charge in their relationship and it shows, how much he loves mo ran, how deep the love is.

their relationship and experiences are so fucked up but i love their love so much it's fucking beautiful.
