YOOOOO ok so amaya needs a friend who takes on the whole 'momma bear' role with her! basically she's a scared girl with terrible anxiety issues and she's afraid of life and ugh please let shinobu comfort her and love on her and tell her everything's going to be alright when she has her panic attacks sdlfkhslfkdf

idk i just want this in my life heLP ME

ayyy thanks for posting in my plotter!! sorry if i'm not too coherent rn though, i'm in a bit of a rush to get this up and posted before i leave the house!!

@mana omg amaya is a little cutie pie and shinobu will definitely go all mama bear on her!! she'll hold her close and give her hot chocolate and warm blankets whenever she needs it — and even when she doesn't tbh because amaya is a precious cinnamon bun and shinobu wants to keep her safe and happy as far as possible. amaya is free to call her even in the latest hours of the night so shinobu can rush over and build her a blanket fort to hide from the troubles of the world. they can tell each other silly stories by torchlight until the morning, after which shinobu will try to help amaya actually deal with her problems!! shinobu's the very persistent sort, though she'll do her best not to be pushy. because she's the type to face things head on, and she'd like for amaya to do that sometimes — but she also understands that sometimes all someone wants when things get bad is to cuddle under a heap of blankets, so she'll provide just that ;D

i feel like they could've met in the library where amaya works, maybe? shinobu could've walked in once and wanted to check out a children's book or something (because pictures make things a lot more fun for her ngl) and they struck up a conversation from there? and shinobu will probably really like leaving little post-it notes at amaya's workplace at times, because that's a thing she does xD (basically stuff like "you can do it!" "believe today will be a good day!" "friendly reminder: you're wonderful!", all accompanied by a dozen smilies and doodled hearts.) so yes that's my two cents /o/

SHIMAZAKI KURO ooh, omg, enemy relationships are always gr9 <3 maybe, like you said, they had a short fling that didn't end too well — although i was thinking that they possibly had more of a one-night stand, perhaps? a heat of the moment sort of thing where they barely even got each other's names in. and the next morning shinobu had to rush off to work early because she's meant to record a few interviews with some local musicians for the radio station — just little segments and promos and tidbits they can play between songs. but after she gets through the first few, kuro walks in and she realises he's one of the interviewees?? so it's awkward as hell and that awkwardness makes shinobu uncomfortable; so she kind of just... becomes hostile, pfft. and from there they just go down the road of enemies, always butting heads, never quite seeing eye to eye, etc.

i feel like shinobu is going to be v fickle in this case, in that she's always saying stuff to herself like, "okay, today i'm going to be nice!" and then when she actually sees him she'll make some sort of snarky comment and inwardly punch herself because no, that's not how this was supposed to go. x3 idkkkk, haha. what do you think?

SHIMAZAKI KURO yesss omg i'm glad you like it!! (plus, awkward uncomfortable silences and not being able to look each other in the eye the whole time is perfect ha) so really they're just a pair of silly little kids who can't get along or play nice and end up saying mean things all the time pfft <3 do you want to toss them in a thread together at some point?? we could do the interview as an obvious choice, or anything else works too!

YOSHINOBU CHIHARU x ren

fellow pinks unite!!! anyway hI LET ME JUST THROW SOME PLOTS @ U

ren is a part-timer who literally tries to find work everywhere she can bc poor so she feels pretty terrible. maybe she can be a regular caller for chiharu's show and complain about her financial situation and somehow they become friends and ren gets inspired to start working at chiharu's radio station??? IDK BUT IT'S AN IDEA

Hideo Araia girls of the wild's is literally my life ugh (i use moon young/hye shin/sometimes queen everywhere i go tbh)

i def def def like the idea of a combination between both — lots of snarky and catty remarks filled with affection basically, haha. aside from being on the radio, shinobu probably deejays in clubs and such whenever she gets hired for stuff like that (so for it'd be for specific events instead of like, a nightly thing), but it's for sure possible that they used to frequent the same place!!

maybe we could also mix both your ideas sort of in that they may have been chatting each other up, flirting, possibly thinking about spending the night, etc., when he gets into some sort of situation?? and she helps (idk what said situation would be exactly though xD but it'd be hilarious and awkward and a great start to a perfect friendship, pfft)

so yeah!! i don't have too much to say because i just agree with everything <3 i'd love to toss them together if/when you feel like it c:

HIMURA REN no worries! this response is p late too D: awesome!! i think we could say that maybe they were chemistry partners in high school, but since they didn't really talk outside of class/didn't run in the same circles, as well as didn't take the same subject in college they kind of just... drifted and forgot about each other?? and then they meet again and it's awesome x3 i'm sure that (whether it's assigned that way or shinobu pulls some strings) ren could totally be her assistant and such!! ren could possibly also be one of the few people that calls her chiharu, since she only adopted the nickname/stage name shinobu after she got her on-air job at the station. i definitely look forward to this, and we can for sure do their "first" meeting through radio calls! do you want to do it as a sort of comm thread?? and would you like to start it, or shall i?

YOSHINOBU CHIHARU + ren

bRUH COMM THREAD IS NICE -- y-ye.... i'm no good with thread starters,,, u can start it if u want 2
