Longfic Series: A Tempest In Time:

Nearly seven years prior to the Honno-ji incident, a wormhole swept adrenaline junkie Katsuko and her brother Toshiie into Sengoku Japan. After an attack by bandits, the two are separated and Toshiie disappears. Katsuko is taken into the household of the enigmatic Yamaoka Akihira - initially as a maid. But Katsuko has other ideas, choosing to dress as a young man and become a courier for Aki. Over the next few years, "Katsu" travels through Japan's warring states, delivering messages and looking for her brother, and encountering some of history's most famous warlords. Then Honno-ji happens and everything changes...

Timeline Three: Ten Things I Hate About Mitsuhide - Updates Sundays on Ao3, Mondays on Tumblr

Courier, scout, daredevil, housemaid … Courtesan? Katsuko has had many identities in the seven years since a wormhole sent her back in time to feudal Japan. But when her mentor Aki disappears and his trail leads to an illegal slave market in Sakai, Katsuko’s investigation sends her on a collision course with Akechi Mitsuhide.

Mitsuhide and Katsuko have never gotten along. However, Aki is not the only missing person. Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Mai have also disappeared in Sakai, and Mitsuhide is determined to locate and rescue them. Forced into a dangerous partnership, Katsuko must masquerade as Mitsuhide’s concubine. But even working together, can they fool the man known as the God of Deceit?

Timeline Two: A Mitsunari Night's Dream Completed as of 10/2/2022

Courier, scout, daredevil, housemaid … Princess? Katsuko has had many identities in the seven years since a wormhole sent her back in time to feudal Japan. But she never imagined she’d have to wear a pink kimono and enter a fake engagement with absentminded Ishida Mitsunari.

Mitsunari and “Okatsu” agree their relationship will be all business – after all, they only need to fool a lovesick princess for a few days. How difficult can that be? But that’s before Mitsunari and Okatsu discover that the Princess’s younger brother is the target of an assassin. That’s before they flee to a nearby forest to stop a coup against Oda Nobunaga. Most importantly, that’s before Mitsunari decides his feelings for Okatsu are anything but fake.

Timeline One: Twelve Lies I Told Shingen Takeda (Completed as of 1/2/2022)

Courier, scout, daredevil, housemaid … liar: Katsuko has had many identities in the seven years since a wormhole sent her back in time to feudal Japan. After she and her mentor Akihira help Shingen Takeda fight off bandits, “Katsu” finds herself working for Shingen as a messenger.

He thinks she’s a boy. She thinks he’s the biggest womanizer in the province.

But there are others forces at work – an old enemy is closing in, her new boss has a fatal secret, an assassination plot threatens the lives of Katsu’s new friends, war is on the horizon… and that’s just in this timeline. With all that going on, it’s good that he doesn’t know she’s a woman.

Isn’t it?

Give yourself permission to write garbage.

This is the best writing advice I have ever received. Ever.

Anytime I either find myself intimidated by writing something or I simply can’t seem to get words moving, I use this. It’s great for the run of the mill perfectionist, as well.

Giving yourself permission to write garbage means letting yourself do something imperfectly. I always use this when I can’t seem to find a place to start, and I set out to write the “worst version” of whatever I’m writing. Not only do I give myself permission to write badly; I ask myself to. Instead of writing something eloquent like “the banisters were carved straight out of Queen Victoria’s past” I’ll write “the banisters were fancy-looking and stuff”. Or rather than coming up with the beautiful world building of the setting, I’ll just start with “they’re outside and it’s pretty” and move on.

Every time I do this, perhaps the first line or two will be a little worse for wear, but as a whole, never comes out “bad”. You’re just giving yourself the opportunity to write a “first coat”, if you will, and then add onto it when you edit later. And often I just need this advice to write the first sentence, and then I’m in the flow again. For me, at least, if I didn’t do this when I needed it, I’d just sit paralyzed at my computer staring at a blinking cursor. I’d rather just type some garbage that I can edit later than have nothing at all.

It’s simple and it’s silly (and sometimes cringe-worthy), but it gets you writing and that’s all that matters.

Writing Wednesday Week #47

If you could tell your younger self one piece of writing advice, what would it be?

That it's ok to daydream and tell stories to yourself in your head. Someday, when you discover that you can write them down, it will be one of the happiest days of your life.

  • Chapter Five: The Carrot Exchange - Okatsu and Mitsunari figure out how to work with each other; Mai is teasing, Hideyoshi is concerned, Mitsuhide is inscrutable, and Ieyasu is annoyed.
  • Mitsunari x OC; Nobunaga x Mai
  • Previous Chapter
  • Logline - In order to protect a political alliance, Katusko and Mitsunari must pretend an engagement. But this “all business” arrangement is threatened by a coup against Nobunaga… and by feelings.

From the Military Notes of Ishida Mitsunari…

An alliance is often a necessary instrument of war. Two or more disparate entities agree to work together for a common goal. Alliances may share talents and resources. While some alliances may last for years, they may disintegrate once a common enemy has been vanquished. Conversely, an alliance may also be an instrument of peace, when the entities agree not to go to battle, but rather exist in a state of neutrality, even if their long-term goals are incompatible.

Personal comments: Lady Okatsu appears to have some combat skill, although, as Hideyoshi pointed out, she appears to fight first, and think second – ninety percent of the time, this is not a good tactic. (Alas, it is difficult to predict when the ten percent of success occurs, as if one ‘thinks’ that fighting first and thinking second is the correct strategy, one has already thought first… hm… must determine a better formula for determining when to fight first.)

Also. She may potentially be a spy.

I hope she is not one, as I believe she and I might become good friends.

Thank you! I wear the chaos badge with honor.

Perhaps this is something you'd like to call as "absorbing new skills from work" 🙈🙈🙈 been helping my team creating new designs for the upcoming webtoon episodes and it made me itchy to make various designs for Asaka in every Ikemen Series she's in.

So for the first entry, this is Asaka's designs for Ikemen Villain, along with her short profile.

🌸Asaka IkeVil Profile🌸

.

Name: Asaka Lillian Aldrich

Birthday: Feb 17th

Curse: 6th wife of the Count Bluebeard

Special ability: seeing ghosts, talking with them, and sending them back to the underworld

Favorite things: casablanca, strawberry

Occupation: opera singer

Dislike: snake, spider, traitor

Fated tragic end: betrayed and k1ll3d by the one she loves the most as marital partner

.

Asaka is a distant relative to Her Majesty The Queen, and most of the time she used her power to question Her Majesty's agents who were d13d during the mission, and relayed the information from the d34d to Crown so they could take action. During her mission, she often did the interrogation to the d34d together with Roger who was doing the autopsy.

Initially Roger thought of Asaka as his potential research object, while Asaka took advantage of his companion through all her gruelling missions. Eventually, all the time they spent together and learned about each other made them fall in love, yet they were both also aware, so much, of the curses they bear respectively, becoming the reason why they chose to let everything stay as it is... so that Roger won't become Asaka's curse as well as Asaka won't become Roger's.

The green dress is Asaka's opera dress and the black one is her mission dress. Her daily dress is the blue one. And yes, when using her power, she always brings a scented candle with her, to make sure she finds her way back home (to her body as her soul will travel through realms to find the d34d she's looking for). That's why Roger insists to accompany her, to help her back to her consciousness (and because Roger always worries how Asaka's heartbeat will go faint to the point he almost can't hear it even with his super hearing ability).

ーーーーー

I hope I won't be too lazy to draw the next entries 🤣🤣🙈🙈 but anyway thank you for reading and have a good day! 🥰🥰🍀🍀

OMG SO SORRY IF FORGOT TO ADD WHO FOR MY RQ

Can I ask being best friends Motonari, Nobunaga, Shingen, and Hideyoshi and needing help with having a crush on someone?

Avatar

Hello! Don’t worry, I was about to start working on your request! Thank you for requesting.

MC asking her friends warlords for love advice.

Oda forces.

Nobunaga Oda.
  • Nobunaga’s advice… was questionable. He is used to be forward with his approach on everything, so he might tell you to use the lips from the person you are interested in as your sake cup, or trap them against a wall to confess your feelings.
  • It’s not terrible… but these kind of approaches would only work if they were made by him. And if this person rejects you… they will have to face his wrath.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi.
  • Hideyoshi has more experience, specially since he is friends with many ladies, he has a natural caring charm. While his advice would also be to be straightforward about your feelings, he would suggest that you take this person out on a date to warm up to the confession.
  • He will also be concerned about whether or not this person you are interested in is being kind to you.

Uesugi-Takeda alliance.

Shingen Takeda.
  • Shingen is likely the best at giving love advice, despite Yukimura’s warnings that it really isn’t. He will first analyze the situation you are in with your crush before giving you a detailed plan of what to do to express your feelings. He will also question whether your crush is worthy of being loved by a goddess such as yourself.
  • On a more serious note, if he knows this person, he will give you advices on how to approach them in the perfect way possible.

Lone forces.

Motonari Mouri.
  • Motonari might not be the best choice to ask love advice from, he can be rough and isn’t as acquainted with love as the others are. He will have a hard time helping you with your crush, to him it would be easier if you just confessed and got done with it, but you know it’s not that simple.
  • Despite his difficulties, he will try his best by consulting hiroyoshi on how he should help you.

Ikesen Boys React to a Tattooed MC pt 4

Thank you again to @otomedad for this fantastic idea ^_^ This one has Mitsuhide, Keiji, and Ieyasu! Approx. 2600 words of tattoo and MC appreciation!

Mitsuhide

Mitsuhide’s smile was infuriating. You wipe the sweat from your forehead and stretch your aching muscles. After five hours of practice, you were tired, your hair was a tangled mess, and your clothes looked even worse. And Akechi was just standing there, grinning, not a single hair out of place.
