The kogami to Sherlock pipeline needs to be studied, I remember being there when queen Hikaru sensei (pp IT mangaka) released the koumaki gun licking art and continously made suspiciously charged art of them until the day came when she released and Co-produced Moriarty the patriot whose main two guys look suspiciously like Makishima and Kogami and (spoilers ahead) curiously the detective and criminal both fake their deaths and run away to a foreign country where they spend a great deal of years in cohabitation, witnessing this evolution is truly something to analyze
This is what LX has to deal with every day:

Honestly I'm really bored atm so I might just go back through some of the official content and translate some of the short comic esc scenes over time
❝ when there is greed, there is hope. ❞ ( from manami <3 )
‘ men who live by the waterfall cease to hear it, ever heard of that phrase? ’ is what he offers, fingers idly skimming through the pages.
the monthly statements are a formality, mostly managed internally. numbers tell no lies — numbers are exact, constant, always true to what they represent, unlike the humans that arrange them in fine paper and leather folders. suguru gives a last glance at the paper and turns his attention back to her, ‘perhaps i’ve got playing the pious deity to these monkeys down to a fine art so well that i no longer hear them complaining about their diminishing shares. ’
the view outside is painted in dull oranges, perfectly content with being swallowed by the quick-spilling dark of the night. there’s always been a mean air about her, too. as if cut by the same razor, their sharp edges complemented each other in funny ways. the carpet snaps shut in his hand, back pressed lightly against the windowsill.
‘ well, diminishing is too generous. they weren’t getting any more than what they deserved as creatures at the bottom of the food chain. scavengers like them did always make for greedy little things, and this cult is run precisely because their ambitious bellies are filled with misguided faith. so on. ’
‘ it’s rare for you to point it out in that way, however. ’ suguru’s gaze is bold and unflinching, peering up from beneath the veil of dark bangs and shadowed by the setting sun. it’s in that moment that all truth is stripped bare, he thinks, because the otherworldliness of the room pushes him further into honest curiosity: ‘ am i thinking too much, manami? ’
@koseigu
no one is allowed to talk to suguru if you've seen him before no, you haven't, erase him from your memories trust me it's better if you do he's a wanted criminal and a very dangerous curse user stay away from a man with long, black hair dark as night beautiful honey-tinted eyes and bewitching smile do not speak to him and come to me asap and share his location this is important for the nation's safety, government orders not mine. please and thank you.
I totally don’t ever rp with u bc u never gave me the insane duo of Makima and Gojo
guilty as charged. happening now. Makima and Gojo will interact one way or another in the photo studio during one of the many parties hosted by Jacksatoru Wangojo
give me a reason why you DON'T rp with me.
there’s not a breath to be taken without precaution. whether it’s the will of the hot, sinister flavor of victory or a more primal apprehension, ulquiorra isn’t sure. but he wants to hear the monster growl again, cry if he must. beg, like the rest of them had when faced with something larger than themselves.
it’s hardly a sweet sound, grimmjow’s baritone carried defiance the kind that you could only find in untamed hollows, the misguided souls that are still too raw and persistently detached from authority, save from the chains that bind them to the skeletal forms. there is no placid trolling to it. unlike ulquiorra’s own voice, apathetic, cruel in its manner devoid of empathy, grimmjow’s groans feel more corporeal than ulquiorra’s own presence. the applied pressure burying itself deep into grimmjow’s marrow becomes the only symbol of his wicked existence in a room so wide and empty.
tongue darts out to wrap itself around ulquiorra’s digits, the sensation a shot of liquid fire when it’s met with the hierro layer that always seemed to run cold. curiosity. confusion. the reasons for such action escaped him, though he’d heard bits of it from other espada — desire, lust. it hardly matters now. ulquiorra doesn’t relent.
‘ what are you doing, grimmjow. ’ fiercely, his right hand clasps around the other’s jaw. bones give in, something cracks. it’s nothing compared to the damages of drawn out battles, the sort of commodity that blood-thirsty beings seek and get drunk off on most nights - it always is night time - so he applies more pressure just to make a statement.
ulquiorra’s gaze doesn’t falter. ‘ how convenient. your mouth taunts and yet you choose to take the punishment with baseless threats. go. try to defeat me. you can’t? or do you not want to? what could you possibly say to make excuses for yourself after this—? ’ the heel that had remained motionless aims a kick to his stomach, sending him back to the floor. ulquiorra is quick, looming over grimmjow’s tall figure sprawled on the ground. slowly, as if testing the waters, ulquiorra lowers his head, locking gazes. here, now, there’s only grimmjow and him. here, only one man could judge him.
‘ your body is more honest than your tongue. what should i do with it? ’ frigid fingers run down grimmjow’s bared throat, down to his sternum, keenly aware of their new proximity, the heightened nerves beneath his touch, ‘ should i rip it out and feed the troops with it, or should i make you swallow your own sword? show me, i might begin to understand you. ’
THE PROBLEM WITH CRAMMING THE ESPADA TOGETHER - WAS too much power and too many big personalities for the proffered space. they were no better than feral animals really, scratching an existence out of survival of the fittest. the primordial part of him knew sharper teeth and claws meant victory, but ulquiorra ( despite him knowing better ) had a vast well of untapped power - an unending wealth of dominance that might sink into grimmjow's flesh at any moment. he hated it - loathed it through the emptiest part of him. the bastard had no spark - no fire. his cold, unfeeling mish-mash of souls was appalling to number 6, who felt unerring destruction to his very marrow.
but that was the thing about being an arrancar... sometimes, the wires got a little crossed.
spirit pressure swells around him - a threat and a promise. it writhes against his own, melding against his skin and cracking his defenses far too quickly. grimmjow feels that he can't breathe ( or at least he thinks that's what this sensation is ) - each inch of him grinding in agony. the weight of a million souls presses down down down - and white teeth are bared again, the phantom outline of a tail, black claws taking shape as he's pushed, pressed, and bent.
his knees hit the hard floor with a painful crack, and the hiss he lets out his predatory.
of course grimmjow tries to stand - of course wildness and rage and the thirst for a fight, fight, fight permeates his very being, pooling saliva into his mouth. ulquiorra - a worthy opponent, right there, ready to struggle for the top spot... yet strong pressure and a hand keeps him on his knees, and grimmjow is about to lean down and simply sink his teeth into his arm, tear into him with unfettered savagery when…
❝ nn- ❞
he's not so much ashamed by the noise that leaves him - not so much ashamed by the heat that curdles in his limbs when ulquiorra does that with his foot - as he is by the sheer knowledge that he has effectively been scruffed like an an unruly cat - and has to stare up at the fourth with a different sort of guarded hunger in his gaze.
❝ you're so fucking annoying, ❞ he eeks out, breathing still labored, body wired. black tipped claws sluggishly raise, coiling about his wrist again - except this time he forces ulquiorra's hand upwards, and the pad of his rough tongue, feline, skates along fingertips. ❝ all self-righteous an' haughty. you think you've gotten the best of me? ❞ yet his voice is breathless, whether from the swell of desires, or the thorough disciplining - it was hard to say. even so, he bumps his jaw against the back of his fellow espada's hand, rubbing lightly - the faintest rumble resonating from deep within his core.
❝ just wait, you bat bastard. ❞ the purr rises and swells, a continuous cacophony while grimmjow dares to eek his hips upwards, and dares to smirk once more. ❝ just wait, until i get my fangs in you. ❞
"good luck taking care of yourself." // geto @ gojo, hidden inventory setting mayhaps
gojo satoru never says please . all the blessing of the heavens and six eyes to back it up , all that unbalanced source of energy on the tip of his fingers , all because simply ; gojo satoru never begs . he stands amidst the crowd with dull greyed eyes , stares with a clenched jaw as suguru's black eyes disappear through his smile . his head feels hot , he recognizes this , rage . his shoulder blades feel tense and he knows this too ─ lost , heavens he has no idea how to deal with this . suguru takes his silence as an answer and turns to leave . he manages to take a few steps before satoru is right behind him , a cold hand curled around suguru's arm . oversized shirt wrinkles under his tight grip , bare eyes catch suguru's . and he doesn't look angry anymore , not when he saw suguru is actually able to leave . ‘ suguru .. ‘ he's pathetic , he swallows and doesn't know what to say . no , satoru can't survive this one with a blank face and empty eyes ─ can't push his way through the world without him . it feels like being a star and burning , it feels like he's being pulled apart atom by atom . he licks his lips , his eyes were bare since this morning and he feels exhausted , he needs to eat a few plates of sweets before he can function properly and with acceptable sugar levels in his blood . ‘ we ─ let's sit and talk . burgers on me . ‘ black rings are deeper under his eyes , he feels like he's aged centuries . his hold loosens before he tries to stand straighter , his phone rings ; it's yaga , he turns it off and slips it back into his pocket . heart hammering in his chest . ‘ come on . sit . ‘ he even pulls the seat for him , a couple of chairs tucked under the table in front of mcdonald's . satoru leans over to dust the seat off with his palm , a hand that can't touch many things because everyone knows that once you become untouchable you're also unable to touch ; he blinks , with parted lips , almost aggressively does he gesture to the chair he's pulled for suguru .
