THIS COULDNT POSSIBLY GO WRONG! idk
I have yet to see that chs 19 and 20 went through via email for previous update date from when I updated to AO3. I also had no knowledge of a favorite and follow through email; only seeing the guest review before 18th chapter that got seen after the update. I did take notice of the recent Fictionpress updates regarding the site(which I normally ignore) and now paranoia sets in. No chapter updates yet in email from here yet chapters are shown up to 20 in stats hmmm Email Opt-In, will that include my chapter updates? Because that will get on my nerves quickly if email doesnt acknowledge this site
It's one thing to be suspicious of reviews, its another to see that the chapter updates arent shown or that users favorite or follow yet email doesnt pick up on it. Dunno if thats a good thing or bad thing with how the reviews have been.
"Who's who again?" wonders Hide clone.
"Whats with the laughing?" wonders Haise.
"The mere idea of you taking after Hideyoshi is not to far from the truth. Chubby babies are adorable." says Yuno.
"Haise does not do chubby. That'd look horrifying in the shadows." says Haise.
"I know right? Yet Hide always harps about needing a ghoul child to play with humans. You both can only live off ghouls and humans." says Yuno.
Once the laughing stopped Yuno went over black haired Ken of cycle 2 being the official bestie of the weighty scarecrow and that his estranged twin white haired Ken of cycle 1 was the male mother.
"Kaneki is 1 person so how is there a twin? What did you do to my brain?" wonders Hide clone.
"Hide." says Yuno sternly.
Hide clone nodded.
"You are a replica of cycle 1 Hideyoshi who has gained the fortunes and misfortunes of both cycles. Don't kill your brain to much as cycle 1 Hide never got to live to see another cycle." says Yuno.
"Cycle 1 Hide was fat?" wonders Hide clone.
"No, its cycle 2 Hide that's fat. You have cycle 2 appearance with bits of cycle 1 life meshing with cycle 2 life. Like how Kenny told cycle 2 Hide but you never lived it." says Yuno, "You are appointed cycle 1 Hideyoshi Nagachika with the appearance of cycle 2 Hide."
"Telling my boyfriend-"
"Fiance." says Murmur.
"..fiance would put me at risk." says Hide clone.
"Telling him you are cycle 1 Hide will do just fine. Kaneki never had a mate bite lover in cycle 1 so theres proof enough. Sadly we never brought Hide out of cycle 1 since we rushed a renewed life that is similar to the first so skepticism will be heightened." says Yuno.
HideKane housing...
The following day Ken was eyeing who he presumed was cycle 2 Hide having a midnight feast with how big he was. Hide being able to leave bed was beginning to become a struggle. Even so, how'd he end up with an additional 200lbs in 1 night. That's impossible in ghoul terms when they live with ghoul killers.
Once Hide clone was awake, he felt around for the cell phone which Ken1 handed him, keeping his eyes on the lard of a stomach.
"What made you decide to eat my limbs in your sleep?" wonders Ken1.
'You know of the void right?' was written on the cell phone.
Ken1 rolled his eyes knowing they briefed him on it but went along with his curiosity and nodded.
'Yuno forced Yuki into taking me to their home away from home and fucked with my memories. You know how your memory gets hazy as Centipede? They infused both sets of memories that separated your human appearance from transformation appearance and brought me back in a new scarecrow attire Yuki made me.' was written on the cell phone.
Ken1 reads over what is said.
"While I was sleeping, you were taken to the void to mold cycle 2 Ken Kaneki memories with cycle 1 memories from the previous Hide. Now you wont beable to separate what you recall. The new scarecrow outfit was a consolation gift for forcing this on me and my twin." says Ken1 in disbelief.
Hide clone nodded.
'Yuno was persistent in her skills as a goddess.' was written on the cell phone.
"You can talk to me without the scarecrow act." says Ken1 folding his arms.
'Wish I could except-I'm not gonna be the cycle 2 Hide you got used to. My voice is gone and I don't have the mark you gave your fiance.' was on the cell phone.
"You dont have the mate bite? But thats a thing that cant disappear. You cant make it so earthlings can only be mute." says Ken1 raising an eyebrow.
'😞 Tell that to Yuno and Yuki. Yuno made minor adjustments so Scarecrow charade can continue. Except this cycle's Hide isnt dead.' was written on the cell phone.
"Prove it. Take off your outfit." says Ken1 eyeing Hide suspiciously.
'😰😳 Hope noone is watching. It gets embarrassing knowing people are watching.' was written on the cell phone.
"Was there anyone created to look like a child?" wonders Ken1.
'When I went up to Yuno, she was telling a white haired toddler his name and more stuff. He was dizzy and got startled by a huge stomach-my stomach. Haha. She told me I was a replica of cycle 1 Hide with cycle 2 Hide's body type. The boy didnt seem cheerful. He's more based off you than me.' was written on the cell phone.
"This will make for an interesting parenthood if the boy takes after me." says Ken1.
It was 1 to parent college students or any child in school but creating a toddler that shouldn't be able to know what adults say!? Toddlers start to learn how to talk so how does this benefit the gods? What books did his mom read him when he was little? Was the kid gonna enjoy the quinx squad?
"What kagune does the kid have?" wonders Ken1.
Hide clone attempted to shrug.
'The boy is just turning into a toddler. I doubt ghoul babies from 6 months-3 years old know what kagune they have.' was written on the cell phone.
"We were human so we cant have proof." groans Ken1.
'What about bestie Ken?' was written on cellphone.
"Noone would be able to remember babyhood." says Ken1.
'Hide of this cycle knew of bestie Ken in elementary; both cycle 1 and 2. Except cycle 1 kid body feared family while cycle 2 kid body feared his kagune. Trust is very limited when trust in family and friends gives you bad options.' was written on cellphone.
"Atleast you seem to know the differences. Cycle 1 Hide and I became fast friends while it took time for cycle 2 Hide to show cycle 2 Ken friendship benefits. Cycle 2 Hide was a foodie before we crossed paths so its a dominant side that never wants to leave. He's comfier enjoying life with food more than what people tell him to do." says Ken1.
'This isnt something abrupt. That makes this somewhat easier when separating the childhood memories.' was written on cellphone.
"Only upside to having a toddler created by the gods is your new infactuation for yaoi mpreg can finally come to an end." says Ken1.
'Yaoi mpreg? Cycle 2 Hide loves manga but I dont have recollection of cycle 1 Hide enjoying manga. SO it is wise to want favorite couples to have kids.' was written.
Ken1 sweat dropped.
'Both Hide's love horror. Cycle 1 Hide respects that ghouls need food even if its grotesque and cycle 2 Hide took to manga to ignore his dad at the time.' was written.
"He chose Higurashi When they Cry to be my type of manga while he enjoys detective manga like Detective Conan and a army gundam user manga who he sees as more father than anime/manga character called Full Metal Panic. The army highschooler is stiff in the lover lane but I never read it to get a good idea of why he chose the guy as a father role. Or so I've been told when stating his secret love of food." says Ken1 amusing the idea of there being a Hide replaced by cycle 2 Hide.
'Before we bore ourselves lengthening our conversation, what's on the agenda for today? Are the teens cycle 2 Hide took to good fighters?' was written.
"Hard to say. Saiko is the laziest of the 4 with you in the same place for love of being audience instead of participant. With your stomach covering your legs, we wont know your wing strength any time soon. Which is shameful on a ghoul perspective." says Ken1.
'Fat ghouls are healthy ghouls so Im as healthy as can be.' was written.
"Yet you're nearing immobility. Can you show your wings atleast?" wonders Ken1.
Hide clone smirked letting the top loosely fall down to show proof of no bites before having his kakugan glow forcing the feathered wings to appear. It was like he was taunting Ken1 into mate biting him.
"I've already given my heart to this cycles Hide. Biting you will be like cheating even if you look the same." says Ken1.
Hide clone smiled a sad smile knowing the white head was right yet everyone knew them as mate bite lovers.
"Just one nibble." sighs Ken1 going behind Hide clone.
Wrapping his tentacles around Hide as they curiously probed his belly and feathers, Ken1 leaned his head down to 'dig into Hide's shoulder' acting like he needed a snack while seemingly wanting the mate bite to be noticeable.
When a knock was heard, the lovers separated to make it so 'Hide' was fanning Ken1 with his angel wings; Ken1 acting half awake taking in 'Hide's' new girth.
"Hide? Ke-Kuraim? If you keep dawdling, we cant find ways to overpower you." says Ginshi opening the door.
The quinx took in Hide's girth; 1 shrugging, 2 wide eyed and 1 scowling.
"Were you dreaming about humans as dishes and ate Ken's body parts in your sleep?" wonders Ginshi.
'I was asked the same thing the moment I woke up to Ken staring at me. Sorry if this sounds weird but my mind is hazy after everything with Yuno and Yuki and now I'm sorting memories from cycle 1 life vs Cycle 2 life. Yuno wants me to be more like cycle 1 Hide despite me being in cycle 2 Hide's body. Ken was checking for my mate bite with all this blubber and made it deeper. I was joking about if I were to be in the shadows, a huge stomach would startle toddlers if they saw.' was written.
"Haha." says Urie sarcastically.
"Im getting conflicting emotions toward Hide's situation and now we have to entertain the teens." mumbles Ken1 as his rinkaku retracted.
Hide clone nodded in understanding feeling Ken1 set his hand on the left wing.
"Can tubby walk?" wonders Urie.
'I am reduced to waddling.' was written.
"Im not slowing down for 'papa bear'." says Urie leaving the room.
