@anafanjestic I hope you're happy, Senku has PTSD now
The first few chapters of To the Moon and Back are finally out on ao3
One,
Two,
Three,
His eyelids were heavy.
Four,
Five,
He couldn’t afford to sleep right now.
Six,
Seven,
Eight,
If he does, then-
His eyes snap open, heart hammering hard in his chest. He stares exhaustedly up at the sky, ears straining for any kind of sign that someone had followed him, but found nothing but that now familiar, dreadful quiet. What was he even doing out here? Everyone was celebrating, he’d just gotten to hear Byakuya’s last message on the glass record, he should be somewhat at ease now. But he wasn’t, so he’d taken a walk to try and clear his head a little.
The need to sleep had hit him the moment he sat on the ground and leaned back on the fallen tree, his body heavy from the weight of everything happening. But when his eyes started to slide closed, his first instinct was to count, to force himself to stay awake.
Damn it, first he was begging for sleep in the silent stone world, and now he’s scared to? Maybe it was because he was alone right now that had him so worked up.
Solitude never bothered him before, though he supposed that this new trait of his probably had something to do with the 3,700 years spent in total isolation. The human brain’s reaction to trauma really was something, but he didn’t think now was the time to develop an anxiety disorder.
Im sorry but im feeling extra soft and feelsy today so Gen teaching Tsukasa how to slow dance?
I'm. Physically ill over this
It's such a small thing, really.
The moment is a blip in time, and yet it meant everything in the moment.
Gen was humming to himself a song from the old world that he missed while taking a brisk evening walk.
The moon was high, the sky was clear, and the world was at total peace.
He does a little spin, losing himself in the moment, and not even considering that anyone was watching.
But just as he finishes his twirl, he catches Tsukasa from the corner of his eye.
The two men greet each other politely
And though there is no real reason to remain together
They do so anyway.
Tsukasa asks Gen what song he was singing
Gen just shrugs and doesn't give a real answer, as is typical
"It sounded nice coming from you," Tsukasa said
Gen's face flushes
And dares to ask if Tsukasa knows how to dance
He admits that he doesn't
Reminding Gen that he'd never gotten the chance to do such things
It's a risk, but Gen offers to teach him
"Just for fun," Gen says. "I won't tell a single soul if you don't want me to."
Tsukasa considers it, then hesitantly agrees.
He wasn't sure he could be gentle
Even with Gen, the man he cared for
But he lets Gen take his hands, and pull him in
One hand rests in Gen's, one on his waist
Gen's touch on his shoulder is featherlight, yet heavier than anything Tsukasa had ever felt
Tsukasa thinks his heart might explode when Gen smiles up at him
It's a real smile
A rare sight from the mentalist
"I'll lead, my dear Tsukasa," Gen says
He's awkward and stiff compared to Gen's more fluid and easy movements
But he manages not to step on his feet
Or trip
Or otherwise embarrass himself
Gen hums his song, giving them a soft soundtrack as they dance together
At some point, Tsukasa gets more confident, and takes the lead himself
Gen praises him, but his words don't feel flowery or fake, like they usually do
Not when his voice is so soft
His eyes filled with such warmth
Tsukasa twirls Gen, pulling him in and dipping him low like he'd seen in movies
Gen's face is bright red
"My, my. Already an expert, I see~" Gen coos
Tsukasa chuckles, pulling him back up.
"I have an excellent teacher."
Neither of them moves, both letting the moment really sink in
Then they part, hands hesitant to let go of the other.
"Shall I walk you back to camp?" Tsukasa asks
"I'd be honored, dearest."
Tsukasa curses himself for not kissing Gen before leaving him
Tomura Shigaraki has OCD

Tomura Shigaraki has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Tenko Shimura compulsively scratches whenever put under high stress situations, meaning its a soothing action not a logical one
loved depressed reader x stanxeno.
could u maybe do a depressed or mentally ill reader x gen? If ur comfortable w it ofc. my therapist <3 🫠
The idea that I could be a therapist is objectively hilarious.
I'm struggling to make words work, so I'm gonna do headcanons for this, if that's okay
Gen picks up on your shift in mood immediately
Your eyes lose that familiar sparkle, you move like your limbs are far too heavy
You stop eating.
You still plaster a smile on your face, but it stretches too far.
Overcompensating for the lack of light in your gaze.
Gen has studied human psychology, but he isn't a professional when it comes to depression
All he has is his own personal experience with it
So he'll first try to help you using methods that has helped him in the past
That means no being alone for you.
If you try to go through your usual day, Gen is your shadow
If you can't get out of bed, he fakes a cough to stay in with you
He finds ways to help you keep your hands and mind busy
He teaches you card tricks, helps you gather simple materials for science work, and convinces Suika and Kohaku to teach you both how to make flower crowns and other small crafts
This doesn't mean he's smothering you with his attention.
If you need space, he's happy to give it, but he's just right over there, okay? If you need him, he'll come right back.
Figures out the best way to manipulate you into eating food/drinking water and does it throughout the day just to make sure you're still getting proper nutrition
Peppers you with soft kisses throughout the day
"Have I told you how much I adore you, today?"
"No? How errible-tay of me. Let me just get my list-"
His biggest goal is to make you laugh and smile at least once before you go to bed
If you tell him you feel like a burden to him, your friends, or the Kingdom of Science in general, Gen is quick to assure you as best he can
He understands, really, he does
He knows that feeling of drowning very well
And he knows there are others within the KoS that get it, too.
There is nothing wrong with needing extra care
He'll always be here for you, day or night, rain or shine
He loves you, so much
Even if you don't love yourself
I think tumblr ate my ask sad 😔
But I just wanted to know who do you think would snitch about Hyoga crimes to his s/o, honestly I'm betting money on wither Gen or Senku
This has been happening all day oh my god
To answer your question though:
Its neither.
It's Yo, 100%
He's just running his mouth, not realizing Hyoga's partner is nearby and they overhear him making a comment about
"What is someone like that doing with Hyoga? I mean that guy literally kills people!"
And Hyoga's partner is just
"Sorry. He did what now???"
Hyoga hears his name yelled across the ship and can't run so he just freezes and lets it happen.
let's all frolic in the meadows together! manokasa picnic date. that's all
Yes. All of this.
They go together on a rare quiet day for the Kingdom of Science
There's a nice field where they can lay out a blanket and sit together for hours
Manny plays the guitar
Tsukasa listens, falling more and more in love
They talk about many things
Family, the future, the past.
Tsukasa kisses Manny's hands and face
Whispering soft promises of forever that he intends to keep
They make me sick, I love them so much.
I posted three chapters all at once because it's my birthday week officially and I can do whatever I want
The absolute temptation of just dropping three chapters of To the Moon and Back all at once is seriously strong right now
Oh and
There is something about Hyoga that makes me go just slightly feral, it's unexplainable. He's just idk somehow tasteful. Like not even in a (necessarily) when two adults love each other way, but simply nice to think about. Good brain content, you know?
He is fantastic brain content.
Also, look at his little outfit. What a diva.
x gn!reader
I love him so much let me have this
General:
Xeno is kinda...over it by the time he's petrified
He spends his days shaking hands, suffering through back slaps and unwanted arms around his shoulders, and stuck in stuffy and cramped elevators packed with far too many people all up against him.
So he makes a point to avoid it when he can, even after reviving from the stone
Similar to Stanley, he'll jerk away if he's touched without warning or consent, and has snapped at his people more than once just for standing too closely
With His Partner
When you come along, he keeps his distance, his apparent aversion to touch not allowing him to get too close, no matter how infatuated he is with you
He wants to touch you, but he's worried that the feeling of your skin on his will make him itch, like the touch of others used to back in the 21st century
But one night, as the two of you sit together under the light of the moon, talking and simply enjoying each other's company, you dare to reach out
It's a risk, knowing full well that he may not be happy about it, but when the tips of your fingers brush across his face, his whole world shifts
No one had ever been so soft, their hands so gentle
No one had made him melt so easily
And just like that, he's insatiable.
His hands are on you at all times, rubbing and pressing and squeezing your flesh
Loves when you run your hands through his hair and massage his scalp
Absolute sucker for your shoulder rubs
He doesn't sleep with you most nights for his own sake
Your body pressed against him, face snuggled into his chest, hands tracing soft lines across his skin? He's done for
No one need him, 'cause he's not leaving bed
As soon as my brain function returns and I can string my words together properly
Y'all are cooked
UPDATE: Did not cry over Senku, but Stanley is definitely crashing out over my oc and I am living for it
Writing angst for an upcoming chapter of To the Moon and Back today.
Who wants to bet I make myself cry over Senku?
