MARUDA MONTH OF AWESOME

[higure]

... aka this isn't all that well thought out, but I don't care because MaruDa is turning 30, and I want to love them a little more.


credit

Technically this is also a little late, and I really won't mind if any and all activity carries past October 4th.

To celebrate the wonderful thing that is the bond of one Nakamaru Yuichi and Ueda Tatsuya, who have been giving us joy and shipping material for years now, I challenge you!

Comment to this post and spam pictures, give me your feelings, write fics, post fic ideas and prompts, answer those prompts, share your doujinshi, look for couple clothes, share conspiratorial theories, flail and cry on my shoulder because Ueda and Nakamaru will both be 30 in a month and they still look younger than you, give me reasons why I (I mean everyone) should ship them (more), invite your friends, have a party!

Anything goes, this post stays public, let's have fun! Let's have an awesome MaruDa month. (The idea was not mine, but I sure hope Levy and Seki forgive me for stealing it).

I promise to make a master post of things in comments so people do not have to look for it.

Need a little incentive?

Maruda and dress shirts, and ties, and more ties (and you know other polka dot men apparel), and in leather jackets, and Ueda making Nakamaru's PV that much better, and Nakamaru telling you who really uses the whip in this relationship. And have MaruDa reminding you just how long they have been the perfection they are. Even if their radio made of awesome (and the related regular couple shoots) is no longer.

Have MaruDa serenading you because of course Nakamaru takes Ueda with him to his SCP performance.

Enjoy them pimping each other's acting work in an interview or watch them discuss hairstyles like it's serious business.

And top it off with some lovely meta that makes you melt.

Now it's your turn, I will encourage all and every notion of affection. Spread the word, have some fun.



Shiny things to be found in comments:
Art:
Suits and ties (with a little written bonus)
another collection of fanart, omg so much awesome

Threads where you can request something to be written do you by a specific author:
Levy's drabble thread
Alex' prompt me thread
Ri's "find-me-something-i-want-to-write" request thread
!You can always leave random prompts and story ideas, things you have always wanted to see written about them in general comments and maybe some good fairy will pick it up. This is not limited to requesting from people who specifically offered to write. And of course you can pick any of the prompts and write something for it too ....

Love the post and MaruDa <3

But when I clicked on the link for " Maru tells you who really uses the whip in the relationship" I got this: http://25.media.tumblr.com/4f78a8797f4c30ff84bc256f551d2b86/tumblr_menws3GO5t1r5kadwo1_500.jpg%22

I'm really sorry but "Need a little intensive?" ROFL your English skills never fail to entertain me /dies/ XD

Whoohoo Best Month Of The Year! \o/

Here to an awesome Maruda Month, let's celebrate all gentlemantly, polka dot style




(BTW I love you for doing this just saying ♥♥♥♥♥)

[sashjun.livejournal.com]

I love you for inspiring it.

Also:

"It's crooked," Ueda says, pulling on Nakamaru's bow tie.

"You are one to talk. You can't even tie your own tie," Nakamaru huffs, and he doesn't know what to do first, tie it for Ueda or bat Ueda's fingers away because all he is doing is getting his bow-tie undone.

"You can tie it for me; you do it much better than anyone, anyway."

Ueda's tongue peeks out from between his lips, and even now, that is so damn distracting.

"Yeah," Nakamaru breaths, "all you are an expert in is getting this off." He pulls at the knot one more time, checking it.

Ueda chuckles, letting go of Nakamaru's bowtie, which is even worse for wear now, and he takes Nakamaru's chin between his fingers. He waits until their eyes meet before he smirks a little.

"And that is exactly what I plan on doing later tonight. So don't let anyone else touch it," he whispers.

Nakamaru shudders and forgets to fix the messed up bow-tie before he follows Ueda out of the dressing room and into the blinding reflectors of their weeding photographer.

AUTOMATIC MARUDA DRABBLES

lol so since I want to contribute to the spirit of things. I am offering to write a drabble for word prompts. Essentially it works like this. Anyone can reply to this comment with a single word and I'll write them a short Maruda drabble.


So leave your prompt like so

Word Choice: [insert word]
Porn, angst or fluff: [pick one or two or lol you can even say all 3 here]

then you get a Maruda drabble, yay :3

[(Anonymous)]

cough I'm not signed in right now but

Word Choice: "Parenting"
Porn, angst or fluff: hah fluff seems to be an appropriate choice in this case

[sashjun.livejournal.com]

I will write you things too!!! It might be a tiny dabble, it might be longer, it is hard to tell.

Leave me a prompt, I work better with specific scenarios, quirks, lines to be used, something you always wanted to read them do, so try something like that. But I will try my hand on any prompt you give me.

[je-levy.livejournal.com]

Yayy alex!fic~~

Well, my prompt is based on Nakamaru's PV and the idea of Ueda being his opposite at the same time, a reflection and also that he is the person whose opinion Nakamaru looks to when he needs to feel sure of himself.

All of that has really been something I like to think about lately. It's a bit broad and conceptual, but even if it's a fic/drabble or whatever based on Nakamaru's PV with a recurring theme of mirrors, opposites, and reflections. Even the song 'Mirrors' by JT had me thinking about them. The lyrics~~ >.<

Yes, I hope that's enough to go on. Let me know if you need any more details to get your muse going. Rating doesn't matter to me, but ugh I've so wanted this for ages.

[kimidori-san.livejournal.com]

Alex~ Thank you so much for doing this! :D ♥ ♥ Just going to be living here for the rest of the month/however long Maruda month lasts for. ♥

[sashjun.livejournal.com]

you are welcome, you should have some fun with us, picspam us or something;D give us your feeeeeeels

[chuckles0505.livejournal.com]

Found out about this post from tumblr. I hope you don't mind I join in too :3

I guess I'll start with some of my favorite maruda moments.

♥ Really any moment/story from their junior times

Perfect together since the beginning *___*


Even Nakamaru himself pimps maruda xD
I'm still dying to know the reason behind this.

Ueda naming Nakamaru as his biggest influence (http://konoaida.livejournal.com/11527.html)

They create a photoshoot together and hold hands afterwards (http://konoaida.livejournal.com/19651.html)

♥ Nakamaru's mom attending the first Mouse Peace (http://konoaida.livejournal.com/3663.html)

♥ Ueda attends Nakamaru's stage play on the first day (http://konoaida.livejournal.com/865.html) and Nakamaru does the same for Mouse Peace (http://konoaida.livejournal.com/1950.html)

♥ An R-One episode where Ueda laughs forever at the idea of Nakamaru's hair for "Haha no Okurimono" and Nakamaru offers to do the hairstyle whenever Ueda is troubled.
Summary here (http://jone-records.livejournal.com/449476.html) and download here (http://www.mediafire.com/listen/g5f3r66zt70w037/R-One_KAT-TUN_%23171_20090707.mp3)

♥ The look here says it all ;____;

This moment really gets me. Ueda is trolling Nakamaru as per usual but oh man that look of fondness when he recalls his first impression of him.

♥ Ueda thinks him and Nakamaru should travel in secret next time (https://www.facebook.com/KATTUNFanpage/posts/609072789104557)
It makes me think they have traveled together post Lavender Fields but just don't publicly share it xD

[sashjun.livejournal.com]

I WILL PAY BETTER ATTENTION TO THIS POST ON SUNDAY WHEN I HAVE TIME BUT CSKDFLKDVLDKJGNVLKDFNVKLFNV CVB

And of course I/we don't mind you join. I mean that is why this was posted on tumblr as well ;D

[sashjun.livejournal.com]

I'm just dropping all my scanlated doujin folder here. You guys probably have all these, but maybe someone has missed them when they were posted. Beware some NC-17 ones ♥

[je-levy.livejournal.com]

Ahh >.< I had quite a few of these on my old laptop but I got them all mixed up when I moved them over to my new one. Thank you so much for putting them all together again <3333

[sekky-chan.livejournal.com]

Not on my laptop right now so I can't put all of the new Maruda fanarts I've got up... But here's some :3

[sashjun.livejournal.com]

These are all amazing dskkflkrgv lfkdgjv lkfdgljvkfdjv i love the last one the most because those sun glasses of Ueda are just like ... a legend. him and Nakamaru are like his longest standing accessories lol

♥

[rizzy fo&apos;rizzle (from livejournal.com)]

i want to write something for maruda month but idk what to write!!! this seems like the place to ask for suggestions, so :D? i like porn and...porn. i feel like i've already written everything there is to write (maruda tag (http://www.agirlcalledkil.com/?tag=p-nakamaru-yuichiueda-tatsuya), so if anyone has any new ideas i'm all ears!

also i have a kink bingo card (http://peekabuta.dreamwidth.org/3770.html) if that sparks any ideas. i'm not big on the pain ones, though. (that's amanda's thing :P)

thank you in advance!!!

[je-levy.livejournal.com]

Because I miss your petplay!fic, Ueda is secrelty Nakamaru's disobedient yet talented pet, complete with collar and leash--maybe cat ears, idk. Altogether Nakamaru takes good care of Ueda even though he can be just ridiculously rotten sometimes :'D



y/y?

..

[ueboaffection.livejournal.com]

omg ;___; THIS POST. IT'S JUST-


Cough, I hope it's okay to butt in though...

Ueda was the victim when they rode the bus together (http://kattunsaikou.livejournal.com/2564.html)
"Somehow it's Ueda...","When did it become Nakamaru?" (http://daphuni.livejournal.com/10209.html)
Nakamaru says it's destiny ♥ (http://going-gonin.livejournal.com/64792.html)
Nakamaru and Yakiniku. That's happiness right? (http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa418/Ueboaffection/14661_original_zps83401103.jpg)
A close relationship where propriety doesn’t matter (http://konoaida.livejournal.com/6744.html)

[je-levy.livejournal.com]

Ahh I remember these from back in the day >.< Ughh this brings back the best memories of maruda shipping. Thank you sooo soo much for putting these together. hahaha I squealed all over again at Nakamaru falling asleep with his head on Ueda's shoulder. That had to be the cutest.

Hi! I came across with this post and because I have a soft spot for this pairing as well, I want to share some graphics that I made for the sake of all the MaruDa feels in here :D

I made these [10] animated banners last June so I hope it's okay if I directly post couple of them in here and just re-link the rest to somehow relieve their cute/adorable moments ♥

You and I (http://i.imgbox.com/adxvVxTS.gif)
