Wild creatures
Paul x Fem! Reader
A/n: This was so therapeutic to write, you have no idea. I adore this man so much! Fun fact: the idea for this fic came to me as I was dancing around in my kitchen, drinking wine, listening to Red Wine Supernova by Chapell Roan for the first time.
Word count: 4.6k
Warning: canon typical violence, blood, one douchebag who can't take no for an answer, mention of weed use, nsfw themes (minors dni!), light smut (nothing too explicit), skinny dipping, lots of fluff, LOTS of sexual tension lol
Prompt: "All that blood looks good on you. It really brings out your eyes."
Summary: You and your boyfriend have a wild night out on the boardwalk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first thing your brain registered was soft breathing against the back of your neck, then the arm wrapped tight around your waist, holding you close, your back pressed against a solid chest. As your eyes fluttered open, you took in the darkness of the cave, your gaze sweeping over the colorful mess of pillows, blankets and different fabrics draped all over the little nook your boyfriend affectionately called your nest. He took to sleeping here with you after you joined the pack, saying he didn’t want to be apart from you for even one night. Not that you were complaining.
Speaking of Paul, his arm squeezed you in his sleep, a soft snore escaping him. You smiled to yourself as you slowly wiggled your way around to face him. You discovered a slight frown on his handsome features, his hand gripping your waist tighter, and you wondered what he was dreaming about. Inching closer, you laid a gentle kiss right between his eyebrows, and his features smoothed out instantly, his grip loosening but not letting go, never letting go. He brought you closer, snuggling his face into the crook of your neck and breathing in your sweet scent. He draped his leg over yours, tangling them together and clinging to you like a koala. Damn, you loved this man.
You loved his loud and silly personality, the constant flirting, his need to always be near you, always touching you, even if it meant just linking your pinkies together. You loved all the little ways he showed you affection, like bringing you small gifts: a shiny rock or a pretty shell he found on the beach, a plushie he won at a game stall on the boardwalk, a pin for your growing collection covering your jacket. The same jacket the boys got you as a welcome present when you joined the gang, and one you adored with all your heart. You loved how expressive he was, his face lighting up every time he saw you, smiling bright when you were happy, but also crying with you when you weren’t. You enjoyed every moment you spent with him, be it annoying Marko, making out in public while ignoring the loud teasing of his brothers or getting high at the cave and blasting songs of his favorite bands on the boombox, playing on imaginary guitars, headbanging together and giggling when you got dizzy. But it was quiet moments like this one when you really had the time to think about and appreciate the life you had with him. Feeling warm and content, you sank deeper into his embrace.
Your peace was interrupted however, as you heard the others starting to wake up further in the cave. You were reluctant to disrupt Paul’s sleep, but you knew if you didn’t move, one of the boys would soon come looking for you. Marko in particular really enjoyed barging in and throwing pillows at you to wake you up. This earned him a few shots back every time, and he was even chased out by Paul before, not like it had any effect. You really weren’t in the mood for that whole chaos now, so you took matters into your own hands.
You started peppering kisses on the top of his head and softly calling his name. When it didn’t have any effect, you decided to go for his weak spot and started lightly scratching your nails along his neck. He let out a muffled groan and you had to bite your lower lip not to do the same. Your hands worked their way along his back, dipping under his shirt at his waist and gently stroking his skin, making him press his hips against your thigh with a needy whine. Warmth started pooling in your lower region, and if the hardness against your thigh was anything to go by, he must have felt good too. You knew he was awake at this point, felt him smiling against your skin, but pretended in the hopes that you continue with your touching. So you moved your hands lower and squeezed his ass.
“God, babe, don’t stop.”
You chuckled at his sleepy voice and pressed another kiss against his temple.
“I’m not sure the others would appreciate if we made them wait. Marko might appear in the door.”
“I want to see him try.”
“Oh, I’m sure he will.”
With another groan he finally lifted his head, resting his chin against your chest, his hair a tousled mess which you affectionately patted down. You looked into his brilliant blue eyes, and your heart swelled.
“Morning, handsome,” you whispered.
“Morning, beautiful,” he whispered back with a dopey grin on his face. He loved it when you used pet names for him. He leaned in to lay soft kisses against your lips, each one getting longer and hungrier. Just to make you remember his predicament, he grinded his hips into yours again, causing you to moan into his mouth. He used the opportunity to deepen the kiss, his hands exploring your curves.
“Hey, lovebirds! We can hear you making out all the way over here! Get up already, don’t make me go in there!” Marko’s voice broke the moment, and you let out a frustrated groan, now just as fired up as Paul.
“Marko, if you don’t shut the hell up, I’ll beat your ass!” you yelled back, and you heard David and Dwayne laugh, all of them knowing full well that you would try.
“My hero,” Paul chuckled and pressed one long kiss against your lips before finally getting up from the bed. While you put on your clothes, the heated glances he sent you held the promise that you’ll continue what you started later.
You made your way out to the others who were already waiting by the bikes, ready to go. Marko sent you two a cheeky grin, which earned him a not so serious glare from you. David and Dwayne just shared a knowing look. Getting up behind Paul, you wrapped your arms around him, squeezing tight as you took off.
Riding with them was always exhilarating, and you didn’t hold back your screams of excitement, squeezing your arms around him tighter when you heard your boyfriend’s high pitched laughter. You sometimes wondered if you sounded like a pack of wolves with all the howling as you crossed the woods.
Bursting out from between the trees to the beach, your field of vision was filled with the familiar picture of the busy boardwalk with its bright lights and bustling noise. Your skin was practically buzzing with energy. It was a place full of potential for people looking for a fun time, and that’s exactly what you were, even if your definition of ‘fun’ was a bit different in some aspects.
You parked near the entrance, your arrival bringing a lot of attention. You were used to strangers ogling at you, you couldn’t really blame them. Your group was certainly a sight to behold, their loud bikes and good looks were a magnet to the eyes. After getting off from behind Paul, you slowly stretched out your muscles, the movement accentuating your figure, making your shirt ride up to show a bit of skin, then casually threw your hair over your shoulder. The effect was instantaneous, as you felt multiple eyes on you all at once, and when you lazily surveyed the surrounding crowd, you noticed a good few heads suddenly turning the other way.
You felt Paul’s arm sneaking around your shoulder, yours encircling his waist on instinct.
“I thought showing you off was my job,” he smirked at you.
“I can’t help it that I’m this good-looking,” you joked. “Besides, I want to show you off too,” you pecked his cheek, giggling when he leaned in for more.
Someone cleared their throat, and you turned to the boys who were all waiting for you, again. David raised one eyebrow with an amused smile playing on his lips.
“Sorry boys, but this is where we separate from you for tonight,” you stated, their expression turning from light confusion to teasing smiles in a second.
“Why? Tired of us already?”
“You, Marko? Always.”
He played the wounded soul quite convincingly until the corner of his lips started curling upwards.
“Don’t do anything stupid,” the leader spoke up next.
“What, you don’t trust us, David?” you asked cheekily.
“Why would I?” he smirked.
“Okay, fair point.”
He snorted before turning to saunter away into the crowd.
“Have fun,” Dwayne added with a smile and a wink.
“Thanks, Dwayne.” Then he too joined the others.
Now that it was just the two of you, you looked up at Paul.
“What do you wanna do first?”
He reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out a joint.
“Let’s start with the appetizer.”
You threw yourselves headfirst into fun; getting onto several rides and screaming your lungs out, then having a heavy makeout session on the Ferris wheel, which resulted in the attendant kicking you out because you were too distracted with each other to notice the ride was over. After eating yourselves full of sweets, and urged on by the sugar high, you proceeded to visit all of the game stalls, trying to beat each other at shooting games and both failing miserably cause you made each other laugh too much, both of you giggling like stupid teenagers. Paul made it his mission to win you a purple teddy bear he saw at one of the stalls, and was heartbroken when he didn’t get it. He pouted all the way to the food vendors, grumbling about how it was rigged for sure.
It was after you both got yourselves some soft drinks when someone tapped you on the shoulder, interrupting the nice time you had going. Turning around, you came face to chest with a guy wearing an obnoxiously open shirt. Now, you didn’t mind it with Dwayne, but this guy’s whole vibe screamed douchebag. Starting with the sunglasses he pushed to the top of his head so he can check you out more openly. Who the heck wears sunglasses at night?
“Hi,” he flashed you a smile that made your skin crawl.
“Uh, hi,” you replied, you tone already less than enthused.
“Can I get you a real drink?” he motioned to your soda.
“No thanks, I’m not interested.”
You moved to turn away, but he grabbed your shoulder this time. Oh hell no. You shot him your nastiest glare, then tore his hand off you, stepping back to put some distance between you two.
“Come on now, don’t be like that,” Sunglasses smirked down at you, trying to keep his composure, but you were having none of it.
“Like I said, I’m not interested,” you answered, emphasizing each word and making a big show of grabbing Paul’s hand.
Sunglasses didn’t take kindly to that, and he turned his growing irritation toward your boyfriend, who he seemingly barely noticed until now.
“You’re seriously into that? You sure have some questionable tastes in men,” he scoffed.
“Dude, chill out, she said no. So why don’t you just fuck off?” Paul decided to finally speak up after just observing the situation. He knew you could take care of yourself, but it seemed like this was slowly getting out of hand, and he just wanted this douche gone.
“Don’t you tell me what to do, freak. I can do whatever the hell I want. And if I want a piece of that,” he jerked his head towards you like you were a piece of meat, “than that’s what I’m gonna get.”
That’s it. Paul could take insults directed at him, but he would sure as hell not take him talking about his girl like that. If this absolute dick wanted to get up all in his face, he wasn’t one to back down. They were ready to throw hands, when both of them froze. Eyes going comically wide, they stared in unison at the big, sticky wet patches forming on the guy’s shirt, the liquid trickling down the side of his head and neck slowly soaking his clothes. Sunglasses turned around, and that’s when Paul spotted you behind his back, your empty glass still in your hand.
You looked up at Sunglasses with big sheepish eyes.
“Oops, I guess my hand slipped.”
Paul burst out laughing. The guy was so dumbfounded he was rendered speechless for a long second, like his brain couldn’t fathom that someone would humiliate him like this. Because people around you were already looking and pointing. But when it did register to him, his face turned to a shade of red you haven’t seen before. He looked like a big angry tomato pumped full of steroids. You finally cracked up, and you cackled as you dodged the arm he swung at you, easily dancing out of his way. You grabbed Paul’s hand and the two of you took off running, the sound of the guy’s loud cursing quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
When you were sure you got far enough, you slowed your pace to an easy stroll. With the laughter barely dying off your lips, you pressed a sloppy kiss on Paul’s cheek.
“My hero,” you giggled.
“Always, babe,” he stated with a happy little smile.
Pushing the incident to the back of your mind, you were determined to have fun, and not let it hinder your mood. So the two of you threw yourselves back into the night.
Somehow you ended up at the stage, surrounded by warm bodies, all bopping and swaying and jumping together to the rhythm. You let yourself completely loose, let the wave of the music and the movement of the crowd around you take you to wherever it wanted, washing away every problem, every little annoyance. It was phenomenal, and you felt your spirit soar high above you with the ocean wind.
A familiar hand wrapped around your own, bringing you back to the ground, and your eyes locked with the most brilliant pair of blue you’ve ever seen, the color and all of its variations already seared into your mind. Right now, they were shining bright, the lights of the stage bringing a playful glint to them that you adored. Your gaze fell to his lips, causing a wide grin to spread across them. The next time you looked up, his eyes were a darker shade, and he was standing a lot closer to you than you realized, the two of you practically pushed together by the people around you, still moving, still dancing.
You don’t know who moved first, but in the next second you were tangled together, hands roaming planes and curves of bodies, fingers coursing through hair, lips hungry against each other. It felt like the beat of the music was running through your veins, reigniting your long dead hearts and willing it to beat again. It was electrifying and intense. That’s just how your love worked. Sometimes it was silly, sometimes it was passionate, but it was always all consuming. You completely gave yourselves to each other, body, soul and all, for as long as you were on this earth. And you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You were reluctant to come back to reality, too high off the intensity of the moment to stop, but knowing if you didn’t stop soon, you would commit public indecency. Paul groaned when you finally drew back from him, his lips puffy and his eyes pleading.
“Not here and not now, pretty boy,” you purred against his mouth. He almost started pouting, so you winked at him and threw in a middle ground. “How about you take me out to dinner first? Then you can devour me all you want.”
He seemed pleased with that solution, almost too eager to go.
You barely left the proximity of the stage, Paul’s arm casually thrown around your shoulder, yours around his waist, leisurely strolling away, when you heard a shout from behind you.
“There they are!”
You turned your heads at the same time, and spotted the guy from before. He also brought two friends. They were still further away, but rapidly closing the distance, pushing people out of their way, trying to get to you quicker. You exchanged looks.
“Uh-oh,” you blurted out.
A mischievous grin stretched across Paul’s face.
“You said something about dinner?”
Catching on to what he was implying, you burst out in giggles and grabbed his hand before you both took off running. The yelling and fast stomping from behind you was enough indication that they were indeed in hot pursuit. You weaved in between vendors, dodging people left and right, almost colliding a few times, but never letting go of each other. Indignant yelps sounded behind you as you bumped into people, and curses were thrown at you when you pushed stuff into your chasers way. All around chaos was left in your wake, and you already heard Max’s lecture in your head that you would surely receive when he caught wind of this. Laughter bubbled up your throats from the adrenaline rush and you cackled as you turned towards the beach, all the way down the stair, you laughed and howled like hyenas as your feet hit the sand. A quick glance over your shoulder confirmed that they were not far behind. A small squeeze on your hand made you look over at Paul. He had the widest grin on his face, hair messy and wind-blown, his whole body practically radiating, and when he turned to you, eyes shining bright, his hand tightly wrapped around your own, your heart swelled with joy. Surely, this is what real freedom felt like.
You didn’t stop until you reached the underside of the pier and disappeared between the wooden beams. It wasn’t long until your pursuers caught up. Not seeing you at first, they ventured deeper into the darkness.
“There’s no point in hiding, you little bitch! We’re going to find you and your bitch of a boyfriend and then you’ll be sorry for humiliating me like that!” Sunglasses yelled, puffing out his chest, trying to sound all intimidating.
“Who said I’m trying to hide?” you appeared before them, simply walking out of the shadows.
Your confidence and casual tone seemed to unnerve them. The two goons were shifting anxiously, glancing around for Paul. They were ready to get this fight over with and get out of here. Sunglasses, however, took a step towards you, oblivious to the shift in the air around him.
“You got some nerve, girl, I’ll give you that,” he scoffed, running his tongue along his lower lip. “But you’re a bit too bossy for my taste. Maybe if I took you for a few rounds you would learn your place.”
Your face hardened, eyes becoming impossibly darker, before a predatory smirk slowly stretched across your face.
“You know why we brought you here?” you asked lowly, gesturing around you in a slow motion.
Sunglasses was visibly confused, but the bobbing of his Adam’s apple let you know he finally seemed to realize that something was wrong. You raised up one finger, pointing at the pier above you, the hustle and bustle of the people above audible even down here.
“Because right here no one will hear your screams.” Your voice sounded like ice, and the terror on their faces as you started to change right in front of them only fueled your hunger.  “And for the record, I’m the only one who can call Paulie my bitch. Isn’t that right, babe?”
Their eyes followed your gaze behind their backs, where Paul seemed to materialize out of thin air, his irises glowing yellow from his monstrous face.
“Damn right, dollface.”
They didn’t even have time to react before you descended upon them. And just as you said, their shrieking was drowned out by the screams coming from the roller coaster above. There was no escape, you were too fast, dragging them back into the shadows, fangs tearing into skin, gulping down their warm blood and relishing its taste. You made quick work on the three men, and watching the life drain from their trashing bodies gave you a sick satisfaction. You licked your lips the same way he did when you were finished with them.
You looked up at Paul, chest heaving, with rivulets of blood still running down your face and neck, smearing around your lips, painting them red. He looked no different, with crimson specks stuck in his hair, already back in his human form, but eyes still containing remnants of yellow.
When his gaze met yours, a flirty little smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“Look at you, pretty girl! All that blood looks good on you. It really brings out your eyes.”
You flashed him your most charming smile in response. You both burst out in chuckles, giggling to yourselves like schoolgirls as if you didn’t just tear three men apart. The next time you locked eyes, something shifted between you, and you felt a tug in your stomach. You needed to close the distance between you, and if the hasty steps he took towards you was anything to go by, he felt it too. Stepping over bodies, you met in the middle, lips attaching together in an instant, and Paul moaned into your mouth as he tasted the blood on your tongue.
“You said something about devouring you after taking you out to dinner,” he purred, voice silky soft.
“I did. But not here. I don’t want an audience,” you eyed the remnants of your dinner lying at your feet.
“Fair enough, I don’t want to share that sight either,” he wiggled his eyebrows at you, and you snorted.
“Come on, pretty boy, I have an idea.”
He followed you like an eager puppy as you departed from the darkness of the space under the pier and made your way to a secluded section of the beach, a nice little spot you’ve found on one of your midnight wanderings. You knew it would come in handy eventually.
You got a hold of the lapel of his jacket and pulled him back in, already missing his closeness and his lips on yours. He was all too happy to satiate your craving, his hands sneaking into the back pockets of your pants. You could never grow tired of this, your bodies pressed together, taking the time with exploring and getting a good taste of each other, mouths moving together lazily, sloppily, familiarly, knowing exactly what makes the other tingle in pleasure. But this was only the warmup.
Pulling away from him, you looked back up at him through your lashes, your lips curling into a cheeky smile.
“As much as I love seeing you drenched in blood, we still need to go meet up with the boys. And I don’t think David would be happy with us showing up like this on the boardwalk, not after the mess we’ve already created.”
Paul glanced from you to the ocean behind you, the wheels turning in his head, trying to figure out what you were planning.
“Oh yeah? And what do you suggest, babe?”
Your grin grew wider.
“Something you’ll like.”
Then in one fluid motion you pulled off your top and tossed aside. When you met his eyes again, the look he gave you was so full of love and adoration, it genuinely made your heart ache. Because how the hell did you get so lucky to find a guy who looks at you like that, even after seeing you naked a thousand times, who makes you feel this desired and confident in your skin?
A huge grin grew on his lips and he whooped in excitement.
“Hell yeah, now we’re talking!” he cheered as he was already in the process of dropping all his clothes, with yours following right after.
He practically carried you into the ocean, your shrieking laughter cut off as he tossed you into the water. You were on your feet the next second, splashing him and dragging him down with you when you caught a hold of him. It wasn’t long before your playfighting turned into something steamier, and you finally gave into the desire you’ve both been holding back ever since you woke up at the cave in each other’s arms.
With the stars of the summer night sky shining above you, watching over you, the two of you got lost in each other while the balmy breeze caressed your bare skins, your sounds getting lost under the crushing of the waves and the rumble of the boardwalk in the distance. You made love in the water, on the sand, you devoured each other, lips exploring every inch of skin, fingers sinking into soft flesh. He was gentle, then not so much, taking in every sound you made, worshipping your body. Then you took charge, getting on top of him and leaving him a beautiful moaning mess under you. Your passion lasted hours, time blurring together in the overwhelming pleasure.
By the time you made your way back to the bikes, the boys were already there, and morning was fast approaching. Dwayne and David were deep in conversation, the latter periodically taking drags of his cigarette. Marko was the first to notice you, his lips stretching into a cheeky grin when he took in your faces. Ignoring his suggestive stares, you greeted them with a smile.
“You made quite the spectacle tonight,” David remarked. Damn, cutting right to the case.
“You knew you couldn’t trust us with behaving,” you quipped back.
“I did,” he smiled at you, clearly amused. “Max won’t be happy though.”
You shrugged. “Oh well.”
There was a long moment of silence before he spoke up again.
“Did he deserve it?” There was no question about what he meant by that, all of you knowing full well it wasn’t about the drink-throwing or even the chase through the boardwalk. He didn’t have to ask what you did to the guy.
“Hell yes!” you and Paul answered unanimously, and the others chuckled, a comfortable mood settling over your group.
As you all got on your bikes, ready to go home, Marko spotted something that made him guffaw.
“Damn, girl, did you take a bite out of him too?” he motioned towards Paul’s neck. There were undeniable teeth marks and hickeys already forming there.
“I couldn’t help it, he’s too sweet,” you teased, and Paul blew a kiss over his shoulder to you.
Marko made a gagging sound which earned him a swat over the back of the head by Dwayne.
David revved his bike, a clear indication that he was ready to go, reminding you that there was not much time left before daylight took over. The others followed suit, and you took off back to the cave, back to home.
Rewinding the events of the night after you were already snuggled up to Paul in your nest, your mind wandered back to the thoughts you were having just hours ago, when you were lying there in a very similar position. You really were content with your life with the boys. Yes, it was chaotic at times, but that was in your nature. You were wild creatures after all. Living with them granted you a taste of true freedom in a way you haven’t experienced before. You wouldn’t have it any other way.
You pressed a light kiss against Paul’s chest, and he unconsciously tightened his hold on you, his nose buried in your hair, mind already in dreamland. Surrounded by the warmth of your nest and the scent of your lover, you drifted off to sleep just as the sun broke the horizon outside.

Erik Campbell's Killer Playlist {part one}
Tumblr media
❧𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: Erik Campbell x Reader
❧𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧g: Teen and Up
❧𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: Headcanons on songs he would totally put in a playlist for you guys
❧ɴᴏᴛᴇ: I got two fics from prompts I’m cooking up for y’all. But for the time being... enjoy emo boy headcanons. Also I enjoy all these songs so any hate is out of love. Part one bc it's almost 4am.
Tumblr media
Before I list songs, here’s my quick reasoning: Eric would so listen to classic emo songs as well as newer cheesy emo music. Like, Ice Nine Kills? Fuck yeah. The Used? Oh he’s headbanging to Pretty Handsome Awkward. Fall Out Boy? If anyone finds out he enjoys them… oh he’ll murder them. But he has a soft spot for the classics. Like, classic rock. He’d originally find songs from his dad or from Supernatural. Weird but he did dress like Dean Winchester in middle school for Halloween. He's always a fan of classic pop ballads. Total Eclipse of the Heart? He’s crying in his room. So when it comes time to make a playlist for you he’s on it. He already started making the playlist after the first date. Mainly so he could slip some songs on when making out or driving somewhere.
Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy. “Why don't you show me a little bit of spine. You've been saving for his mattress, love.” I’m telling you, Erik goes feral when this song comes on. You think it’s cheesy but he loves it. Even does the heart hand thing from the music video. You’re making out and he’s grinding his hips to the beat of the song. Build God Then We’ll Talk by Panic! At The Disco. “What a wonderful caricature of intimacy” He’s a slut for pre-split Panic!. Mainly A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. Ryan Ross’ writing really gets to him. He was a big fan of Panic! back in middle school. He stopped listening once the album after Vices & Virtues came out. Plus he’ll stop mid-make out to listen to the cello solo mid song. >>“Babe, this is the best part!” He’d say, holding you close to him. Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off by Panic! At The Disco. “I've got more wit, a better kiss. A hotter touch, a better fuck. Than any boy you'll ever meet. Sweetie, you had me.” You question why he would add this to the playlist. He explains it’s seductive. You don’t seem to agree but he changes your mind after the first time you have sex to this playlist.
The Taste Of Ink by The Used. “And won't you think I'm pretty. When I'm standing top the bright lit city.” He listens to this song all the time at the tattoo studio. His boss hates it but he loves it. It’s how he feels. He’ll sing the lyrics, “As long as you're alive and care. I promise I will take you there” to you. You think it’s honestly so cute. Lowkey wants this as a first dance song at your wedding. You’ll have to have a conversation about that.
Ohio Is for Lovers by Hawthorne Heights. “Spare me just three last words. "I love you" is all she heard.” The CLASSIC emo song. Erik adds it for the charm and nostalgia it holds. He remembers screaming this song at the top of his lungs when he was younger. It causes you to laugh the way the singer sings “cause my heart is in ohiooooo”. Erik hates when you make fun of the song but he finds it charming the way you engage with the music he likes. Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria. “But if you really loved me. You would have endured my world.” Erik will air guitar to the beginning and the solo. You find it cute and enduring… the first time. He once pulled over to do the air guitar and you had to lecture him about safe driving once he almost drove into a truck. Yeah Boy and Doll Face by Pierce The Veil. “Do you want me? Do you want to let me know that you're okay?” One of the first songs that made you ask if he was okay. He nodded while it played. You think it’s on his playlist for you but he assures you the yearning in the song reminds him of the way he feels about you. That makes you explain what the song is really about and he’s a bit dumbfounded. I Caught Fire by The Used. “In your eyes, I lost my place. Could stay a while. And I'm melting.” Another contender on the list of first dance songs. He learns it on guitar to sing to you. You find it cute. Well, you find everything he does cute. This is just cuteness overload for you. This song brings out a softer side to Erik that comes out rarely to the public. I Never Told You What I Do for a Living by My Chemical Romance. “And we'll love again, we'll laugh again.” Revenge is his FAVORITE album by My Chemical Romance. He claims this is a romantic song. Actually, he explains the full album lore to you. You sit through it while nodding your head along. He explains to you that this was his whole middle school and high school obsession. You honestly find that endearing. At least the man has hobbies!

⭑🌻 ⭒🤎 . ✦ 🙈 . ⁺ . ✦ 🙈 . ⁺ . ✦ 🙈 . 🤎⭒🌻 ⭑
reiner simply goes “what do YOU think we are hehe…” you could tell he was being more awkward than before you popped the question, because he kept rubbing his palm on the nape of his neck, as he was getting more and more red by the second. “i guess i need some reassurance reiner. we’ve been dating for a while and i’d like to know what lies ahead, are we an item or are we casual?” “damn y/n, do you really wanna be in a relationship with me?” at this he plopped himself down on the chair, burying his head in his hands. “ugh… you do remember i’m in love with you, right? and you wanted to talk about moving in together soon, but we need to check another box first” you didn’t think you were being too mean, but reiner was silently sobbing?? (poor baby!) “hey… reiner… you don’t have to respond right now, i’m sorry to upset you… but we need to talk about this soon, yeah?”, you ran your hand from his shoulder, down to his arm. “nothing to talk about y/n… i’m in love with you too, i just… i can’t believe you see a future with me, you know?” you moved closer to him and he parted his knees a bit to rest your head between his legs as he kissed you on the forehead. “we’re an item, y/n, and we’re more than good… we’re more than good”
bertholdt didn’t understand the question at first, and asked you to “complete your sentence, y/n! what are we doing? what are we up to? what do you mean?” but the look on your face was enough for him to register the information and simply go “oh”. he sighed as he moved closer to you, clapping his hands together once (and quite awkwardly) before he spoke. “i know that i’m having the time of my life with you, everyday spent with you is wonderful and i love you so much. if the same applies to you, i’m confident we can make this official. what do you say, y/n?” your response being burying yourself in his arms and squeezing him as tightly as possible.
annie would probably give you a good glare when you ask her this, examining you with her gaze, not sure if you’re playing tricks on her or if you’re being serious. eventually, she’d drop the “playing it tough” facade and talk things through with you. “we probably should’ve talked about this way sooner, don’t you think y/n?” she questioned as she leaned her head closer to yours, your heads accidentally banging on each other, resulting in the both of you bursting into laughter. “well, you know what they say annie, friends who headbang together, stay together, i’m sure we can apply it to lovers too”, she smiled at you contently, one of the few times when her smile reached her eyes, her pupils dilating as she stared into your orbs. “you know what y/n, i’m certain we can apply it to lovers” she said as she sloppily banged her head on yours again.
historia gets so nervous she ends up crying, you have to console her back to calmness. it’s not that she’s bothered by your question, but it was too soon for her. “just let me explain myself, y/n”. she told you all about why she reacted like this, the main reason being she’s lost all of her family and many friends and is afraid to properly commit to anyone for fear that they might be gone as well. “are you willing to stick by my side y/n?” she asked you with pleading eyes. when you reassured her that you have all the time in the world, she finally relaxed into your embrace.
pieck was working on your car, half of her body presently concealed by the machine. however, she responds at once, not a tiny bit phased by your inquiry. “we’ve been dating for a while now, i think it’s high time we made our relationship official. plus, with zeke and porco being in town these days, it’s easier to plan our formal dinner, don’t you think? of course you should contact your friends too and make sure at least some of them are able to attend on such short notice. how about two sundays from now? we should get some decor too, right? and a banner that says “just married”, as a joke of course. we can discuss marriage after the party. y/n, are you still there?” she questioned when you didn’t respond. “just wasn’t expecting you to be so eager about this, but yes, it all sounds amazing pieck! can you come up from the car now so i can kiss you?”
you caught zeke in the midst of him completing some paper work, he was so focused, he paid you little mind. “what was that, y/n?” he asked. you didn’t respond, your arms folded on your chest. you weren’t dropping this AGAIN. you’d tried to discuss this matter with him before, but he’d asked you to put it off. this time, you were determined to get a proper answer, even if it meant waiting for him to acknowledge your question. “are you for real now?” he looked up at you, pen falling on the side by the way he was relaxing his grip on it. “i’m for real zeke. i can’t go on like this. i see so many of our colleagues flirting with you at the office and you do nothing. how am i supposed to feel? if i’m your sneaky link, i’d much rather know about it”. zeke pushed his papers aside and patted on his legs, motioning you to sit in his lap. “i never realised this was so important to you, i’m sorry. in my head, we’re very much together, but i see why you want to let the world know. also, i’m not addressing my colleagues’ flirting, as i never addressed yours…” at this point he pinched your cheek playfully “because we work together and i’m trying to keep things drama free, so i’m being friendly and declining their offers. but it’s just you and me babe, don’t worry your mind too much” he put his fingers on your chin, softly pulling your face upwards so that you’d face him. “do you want us to drive together at work tomorrow and walk in holding hands? hm? would that be okay with you?” “yes, zeke, but can we also do that everyday after tomorrow too?” “if that’s what you wish for, love” he said as he kissed you softly.
petra blushes all over and avoids your gaze. as the seconds pass and you get no response out of her, you realise she’s spiralling, you have to pull her out of her thoughts, which you do with a gentle squeeze on the arm. “no need to worry about it, petra. i’d just feel so much safer about us if i knew where we’re standing”. she put her own hand on yours, touching it softly before moving it away from her arm, so that she could hold your it in both of hers. “it’s understandable, y/n, this… conversation’s been long due… but we’re in a relationship, i think. i mean, we’re officially in a relationship. this is what you want too, right?” “yes, petra, of course it’s what i want!” you hugged her and kissed her all over her face, and, as if it was possible, she kept blushing more with each peck. “do you think we should tell captain levi, y/n?” you held back a laughter, before admitting that it was captain levi, who, in fact, encouraged you to talk things through with petra. “so… you mean that captain has known this entire time?” poor baby almost fainted out of embarassment.
yelena isn’t amused, and i mean, not at all amused, she thinks you’re pulling her leg. “seriously, y/n, you ask me this after you’ve met my family, been sneaking away with me during your patrols for months on end and basically everyone knowing we’re together??” she was glaring at you, her gaze filled with anger. “shit yelena, just making sure… we’ve never really discussed our relationship status before, that’s all… please don’t look at me like you’re about to kill me”. at this statement, yelena calmed down a bit, she hadn’t realised you were unsure of where you two stood. “i can forgive you neglecting your duties, but not you not thinking you’re mine”

MHA 3.6 - Roaring Upheaval - part 1/3
After being dead on here for 2+ months. I have returned, and it's time for Dark Shadow to rise! RIIISSEE!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So we left off at the most crucial heavy metal moment. Start headbanging, and turn up that one Papa Roach song, LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!
Tumblr media
I wonder how difficult it was for Tokoyami to handle Dark Shadow when his quirk first manifested as a child.
Would Dark Shadow take over when he had little kid tantrums? Imagine this in the cereal aisle of the grocery store, Dark Shadow yelling about fruity pebbles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shoji is pretty impressive here. We don't really get to see much of his character, but he just got a hand cut off, with a friend spiraling out of control, and he is staying so cool and clear headed.
Tumblr media
These two with their doofy af expressions. I guess I would have the same reaction to seeing a massive Dark Shadow bursting out of the trees (possibly screaming about Cinnamon Toast Crunch) in my general direction.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is crying, noooooo!
Deku really came through with another genius tactic. His intelligence is one of my absolute favorite things about him.
Tumblr media
excuse me, no.
Tumblr media
"I'm a bad match-up for you", you don't know that Bakugo. You haven't even taken him on a cute little date to the bird bath at the park yet.
Tumblr media
It's not your fault, bby, Dark Shadow was having Cocoa Puff cravings. No one can stop someone with Cocoa Puff cravings. Someone wrap Tokoyami in a blanket, quick.
Tumblr media
Deku is really out here saying "Hand's off, that is MY childhood bully you are targeting".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok, Bakugo's confused face while everyone was talking about keeping him safe was kind of cute.
Tumblr media
...aaaand the cute moment is over, gremlin mode is back.
Part 2 is here

Peacefield 4/5
80s arena - rock type of song
i really like the message of the song
the chorus is so satisfying
im so pissed the album version doesnt have the (LOUD) BANGING synth break (thats why its only 4/5 cuz its so low volume)
the guitar solo fucks tho
the closing part of the song is SO ENCHANTING
amazing way to open an album
Lachryma 5/5
i went through the 5 stages of grief with this one and i came to the conclusion that i love it
the guitar sounds in the beginning scratch my brain the right way
ALSO THE GUITAR SOLO AGAIN
the whole album is so 80s rock in a way that im constantly in love with the instrumentals
message of the song hits in a parent - child relationship way TO ME (fuck my parents fr, "im done crying over someone like you" I SURE AM)
Satanized 5/5
as soon as it came out i loved it
such a bop fr like its just THAT song
a really strong pillar of the album
gen how it feels like to realize you have a crush on a person who you dont wanna love AT FIRST then ofc who can do anything abt being satanized to the core
guitar GOES CRAZY THANK FUCK
Guiding Lights 3/5
after 3 powerful anthems this is such a stark contrast, like after satanized ?!
im not saying i dont like it (tho my heart is for faster more banging songs)
its an interesting one for sure
i really dont know how to truly feel abt it YET
tobias really wants me to look inwards and reflect on myself thorough this album and i immediately close off smh
De Profundis Borealis 4/5
GUITAR MOMENTS
never heard a song like this /pos
the chorus and verse 2 are my fav parts
the way he sings is so fascinating, so good to my ears and mind
Cenotaph 2/5
parts of it i like but the whole song just doesnt work for me ://
Missilia Amori 5/5
the band KISS popped into my mind immediately for some reason
so 80s it hurts /pos
so whimsical, so hot
the drums ughhh
i really like this
THE BRIDGE IS SO SEXY "wherever you may hide away im gonna hunt you down" LIKE OKAY FREAK — the way he sings it is just so WAUGHH
a song to makeout to fr
Marks Of The Evil One 5/5
THERE ! THERE !
"the marks of the evil oOooOOOone" is so satisfying

Umbra 4/5
intro is angelic
i love how fast the chorus is
the fuckass cowbell is back /j
abt sex yada yada BUT ITS SO !!! so beautiful, like its a pretty song idk how to explain it
"i see your light shine through ~" so satisfying
Excelsis 5/5
as soon as he sang "i will too" i started crying like crazy and didnt stop until the song was over
im so afraid of things changing and going away, but it will be fine, it will be okay
his voice is so gorgeous, so angelic
gahhhh cryinggggggg
guitar solo tearing my heart out
Album overall 4/5
it has its highs and lows but overall i really enjoy the album
so personal and emotional it stabs me in the heart while im also headbanging and dancing like crazy
the duality of the album really works i think
its nothing like how Ghost was before AND THAT IS OKAY, ITS BEAUTIFUL

silver spikes and pastel ribbons.
headcannons of Hobie with an opposite aesthetic gf. (afab! reader)
genre: mainly fluff, slight angst, nsfw(?)
warnings: little nsfw if you squint, crying, some kid gets a car lobbed at him 😭
Tumblr media
i imaginee the two of you actually met at one of his gigs 🫶🏻
He was on the stage, flicking his roughened fingertips on each string on his guitar, a harsh rift sounding through the amp on the edge of platform as he moves his hand further up the fretboard.
Then he looks in the crowd, right by the barrier of sweaty, headbanging and most likely hammered fans, and you’re right there.
Directly in front of him, pressed against the metal-barred barrier that security was struggling to keep people from hopping over.
What caught him off guard wasn’t only the fact you were fuckin’ gorgeous, but the fluttery, light pink dress that was just above the middle of your thighs. White lace trimmed the v-shaped neckline that was held up by thin, spaghetti straps.
Strips of silky ribbon cascade from the wrap around your waist, dangling pearls and a small-chain necklace decorate your collarbones and shimmer like the sheen of sweat that held stray hairs against your temples and your forehead.
And your shoes - a pair of white, glossy, open-toed high heels that added a few extra inches to your height (Hobie secretly wanted to give you a few other inches), but even with them Hobie could still tell from the stage that he was way taller than you.
He misses a single strum of his guitar, so he temporarily redirects his attention back to the gig, his hickory eyes still wandering over to you from under his mask.
100% got the security to practically hunt you down so you could meet him backstage.
He’s a little anxious because they were taking a while, and he’s slightly disappointed at the thought you already left.
But then there’s a knock at the door and one of the security guards speaks muffled through his private backstage room.
“Hobie, got the girl you were askin’ for.”
The rest is history, really. You were officially dating after 7 painfully long months.
You got along well, even if everything else about each other was contrasting, you’re political ideals, music taste and humour are practically a copy and paste.
The two of you get undoubtably get some stares.
A man clad in black leather and silver spikes and a woman dressed like a doll stood out a lot against the Nike trackies of London.
“Everyone’s staring, Hobie.”
“Ignore ‘em, hun. They’re pissed JD is shut.”
Every now and then he takes you to a more quiet, downtown street with a collection of thrift stores and craft shops.
Hobie’s definitely caught in Hobbycraft at least twice a week 😭😭
Literally loves your style - everything from your jewellery to the way you get your nails done.
He’s whipped ‼️
Loves everything about you, but especially your hair.
If you wear wigs he’s helping you install it, if you have naturally curly hair he’s taking note of each step for later on, he reads the labels of every hair product you own.
I feel like he has a thing for curly hair idk why I just get the vibe.🤭
Hobie definatly told Pav and Gwen about you when you first met, like the next day he’s at the Spider Society talking even more than usual.
“She was stunnin’, I’m tellin’ ya’ now. Really nice eyes,” He turns away from them and mutters under his breath, “And tits.”
Gwen smirks, “You’ve told us, I’m pretty sure.” She nudges Pav, and he’s giggling like an excited schoolgirl.
“Never thought I’d see Hobie have a full-blown crush!” Pav comments.
Hobie hums, a small smile on his face as he stares infront of him. Gwen and Pav share a look before they imitate the way he looks - like a lovestruck idiot.
It’s funny with one of you in the other’s room - Hobie, dressed in dark blues and blacks with an overall threatening aura just sat on your pretty pink bedsheets in your floral-scented room.
Sometimes you’ll randomly go on a tangent about a new dress or concert tickets whilst doing something else, and you’re convinced he’s uninterested.
Next time he’s at yours he had that new dress in a silk scarf wrap, or he pulls the tickets out of one of his pockets.
You’re in the kitchen of your apartment, stirring the milk into your tea as Hobie scrapes butter onto two slices of toast you had put in.
When he’s finished, he slides the plate over to you before leaning back on the counter and looking at your over his shoulder.
“Thanks, Bee,” You pick up the plate, moving it closer to you for easier access to the toast.
There’s two rectangular, shimmery-sheened tickets underneath the circular plate.
You’re shocked, looking at the ticket now in your hand, eyes moving from the words and numbers printed onto it and your boyfriend.
“Hobie, you didn’t have to!” You say.
“You said that ya’ wanted to see them, so I got us tickets.” He shrugs, a small proud smirk on his lips.
Movie nights every Friday after dinner 💕
Sometimes he has to leave early or he shows up later on, but he makes up for the time lost by bringing you your favourite food and drink from the local corner shop.
If you’re in college or uni, he will swing in every break and check in on you and everything.
When it comes to cuddling, he’s the big spoon 95% of the time unless he had a really shitty day.
Like really shitty.
It’s not very often Hobie crys, and even when he does it’s not for very long.
The man prides himself in being Spider-Punk, saving civilians whilst preaching his beliefs to his followers that feel more like a family than fans.
He can only hold on so long, and it’s only a matter of time before he can’t save someone.
Sure, the little boy wasn’t dead, he was in hospital after a car had been carelessly tossed into him by the anomaly he was supposed to contain.
After visiting the boy in hospital, chanting apologies and ‘get well soon’s like a broken record, he goes to the first place he can think of.
Yours.
There was something so special, so serene and comforting in the confines of your cluttered shelves and organised wardrobe pressed against the walls of your bedroom.
Hobie knew it wasn’t the room, but it was you.
You, so different and relaxing. Calming and exciting, understanding and motivating. Anywhere was safe if you were there.
He swings through shadowed alleys, reaching your apartment over the bustling roads and honking horns of the cars below.
Hobie perches on your small balcony, and taps on the window.
In his reflection, Spider-Punk looks back at him. Strong, unbeatable, selfless and stubborn. But as he pulls the mask off, the fabric hanging limp like a ragdoll cat in his had, Hobie Brown stares back at him.
Tattered, exhausted, overwhelmed and in desperate need to be in your arms.
The window opens. His mental image of himself splits away as soon as he sees your face.
“Rough night?” You ask, voice slightly raspy and muffled, yet still as soothing as hot tea and honey on a sore throat.
The routine begins when Hobie nods. He clambers in, he takes off his boots and jacket and leaves them by your desk, his mask discarded somewhere beside them.
You pull out one of his white, soft cotton shirts from your dresser, and a pair of dark grey shorts. He gets changed, you make a cup of tea.
Then he cries. Salty droplets of embodied sorrows paired with the pinch of his eyebrows and the slight quiver of his bottom lip.
Each time a tear drips down his soft cheeks you wipe it away with your equally as soft hands, smearing the liquidated sadness into his now clumpy lashes.
You count sixteen droplets this time before he stops, and you stand up to offer the silk scarf he wrapped your gifted babydoll dress in, and he takes it before wrapping the coarse, black wicks that topped his head.
And then he’s curling his back against your chest, holding the hand of your arm that loosely covers his waist.
Their consciousness fades into two seperate slumbers. A comforting silence drapes over the two lovers, knowing that the other will be there when they awake.

Warm Tune
[Atlas Security]
Weiss:*walks in* Winter?
Winter:Ah, you’re here. Staying warm?
Weiss:I’m just fine but is the heating okay? I know it’s a scheduled maintenance but it’s going a little slow.
Winter:Penny found issues with more heating coils than expected and is replacing them as we speak. Not exactly a job you want to rush but yes, people are getting a little antsy. Especially in Mantle. I might have to trouble you with going down there. Grimm live for moments like these.
Weiss:I doubt it’ll get that serious. The kids are down there.
Winter:Wha- Why!?
Weiss:Morale. *pulls up cameras*
xxxxxx
Right in the heart of Mantle, Nicholas walks with SDC employees, his friends, and Whitley to hand out cups of hot chocolate to the citizens. The warm treat keeps the crowd level headed enough to listen to reason from Jaune and friends while the children get drawn in by the sound of melodic guitar being played near a fountain at the city center.
Summer: 🎶Dancing bears, painted wings. Things I almost remember.
And a song someone sings. Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully. Across my memory~🎶
The intercoms around the city let out an angelic cry; soft, yet powerful and operatic alongside proud instrumentals that whisks everyone into a wonderland where the cold no longer feels frightening.
xxxxxx
Weiss: 🎶Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully….🎶
xxxxxx
🎶Across my memory~
Far away, long ago. Glowing dim as an ember~
Things my heart used to know. Things it yearns to remember….
And a song someone sings~
…..Once upon a December~🎶
xxxxxxx
Weiss happily watches as her daughter bows and waves to the audience celebrating the sudden performance. She even looks right at an drone and mouths “thank you” to her mother.
Winter:*smiles* I suppose I was worried for nothing.
Weiss:A little music and a hot drink this time of year always helps.
Penny, over coms: Can you keep that up for like…ten more minutes?
Weiss:*looks at video*
Summer:*starts strumming*
Weiss:Sure thing but I don’t know how many festive songs Summer knows before she starts singing headbangers and random pop songs.
Summer: 🎶Do you wanna build a snowman….?🎶
Weiss:Penny, you have about four songs
Winter:Summer hates Frozen.
Weiss:That’s why I know we have like four songs!

Prompt Day 7: Celebrate Good Times, C'mon
Word Count: 726
Rating: G
Pairing: minor hellcheer
CW: alcohol consumption
Summary: It's Jeff's wedding and the guys are wasted. Thank you @munson-blurbs for coming up with the perfect song 👌🏻
@corrodedcoffinfest
Tumblr media
“Carry on my wayward son! There’ll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to reeeeest. Don’t you cry no more!”
“Bah dah duh dah, duh duh duh duh!”
Eddie strums his air guitar while Gareth whips his arms around as if he were drumming to the song.
The number of guests trickled down as the evening rolled into night. But the fierce foursome is still going strong, alcohol and pure joy fueling them. 
A few others are scattered on the dance floor of the Hampton Inn banquet hall. But Jeff, Gareth, Eddie, and Frank are definitely the life of the party right now.
Jeff’s wife—as of four hours ago—giggles as she watches from a table with a couple of her bridesmaids. 
“Are they always like this?” one of the bridesmaids asks the bride, Anna. 
“If they’re all together with alcohol and music? Oh yeah,” Anna confirms. She nods her head towards Chrissy next to her and says to her friend, “You should have seen them at their wedding.”
“Oh my God,” Chrissy says with a laugh. She shakes her head at the memory, still amused by it. “I didn’t even get to spend my own wedding night with my husband! I kept waiting for Eddie in our hotel room only to find him in Gareth’s room, all four of them passed out on the same bed.”
The song changes and Frank gasping is heard above all.
“Yes!” he cheers. “I love this song!”
Eddie wrinkles his nose up as he sways back and forth. He looks at his friend and shakes his head.
“It’s Cher.” 
“Oh, come on,” Jeff slurs, slapping Eddie on the back. “Everyone loves this song.”
“Yeah,” Gareth adds. He pokes Eddie in the chest, right below the two buttons that the taller man popped open after his first drink. “Don’t be all metal snobby on us. We all heard the Madonna at your wedding.”
Eddie rolls his eyes, but finds the action makes him dizzy and stumbles a step in his inebriated state. 
“That wasn’t my choice, Gareth the Great,” he says. “It’s not my fault my wife is a pop princess!”
The chorus of the song approaches, and Frank knows Eddie is just acting all tough and this will end with him singing it out with them. So, he takes his friend by the shoulders and shakes him back and forth a few times.
“Come ooooon!” Frank says. “Sing it with us. You know you want to.”
A smile slowly curls up the corners of Eddie’s mouth.
“Alright,” he agrees. “For Jeff.”
“Uh huh,” Gareth hums, not buying it. “For Jeff.”
The beat thrums through the speakers and all four friends bop up and down to it, waiting for their moment.
“IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME! IF I COULD FIND A WAY!”
Eddie slings one arm around Jeff’s neck and one around Frank’s. Jeff tugs Gareth over and tucks the shortest band member under his arm as the four of them begin to sway side to side as they belt out the tune. 
“I’D TAKE BACK THOSE WORDS THAT HAVE HURT YOU AND YOU’D STAY!”
They finish out the chorus like that and by the time the next chorus comes around, they’re all jumping up and down like they’re in a mosh pit. Eddie’s curls are swinging wildly all over the place while Gareth headbangs with enough enthusiasm that he’s going to end up with a sore neck tomorrow. 
“God, this is so much fun!” Jeff says. 
“Can't wait ‘til we get to do this again!” Frank agrees.
Gareth chuckles and nudges Frank’s arm with his own.
“Means you gotta propose to Sheila.”
Frank shrugs and looks around.
“Alright. Where is she?”
“No!” Eddie and Jeff shout at the same time, pulling their friend back as he tries to walk off of the dance floor. 
Their tuxes have all seen better days—or better hours, just today before the alcohol was busted out, but Gareth would bet good money that none of the guys who have rented these tuxes before had half as much fun in them.
“Let’s finish this out together,” Jeff says. 
The guys all grin at one another, getting ready to put all their energy into it. Just have to wait for the right moment.
1…2…3…
“IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME!”

Aoi Twitter 2023:
10 Jan: "I've been working on melodies with Ruki's voice in mind for the first time in a while, and my head is so filled with Ruki that it’s almost like I’m in love. …Maybe, just maybe, I’m actually Ruki, and he's Aoi… Ugh, my head!"
10 Jan: "By the way, I’m just playing around, trying to figure out what kind of approach would be interesting—like a sketch or something—so, sh-sh-sh-sh-sh, it's not hinting at a new release or anything!"
13 Jan (Taujan QT): "I’m sorry to bring up something personal, but I just want everyone to celebrate this with me. Hara-san turned one of the few genuinely straight feelings in my twisted heart into a new item. I’m heading to Hiroshima to get it stamped. 🫶"
19 Jan: "Happy birthday to me Happy birthday to me Happy birthday dear myself Happy birthday to me ふぅ🎂🤧"
21 Jan: (*゚ω゚)っ The drawings you all made were beautiful and super cool, and I was really happy. Thank you!"
26 Jan: "Recently, I occasionally get the urge to live deep in the mountains. I wonder if it's some kind of sign? 🤔 Nah, it's probably because I’ve been watching videos of people building cabins in the mountains on YouTube before bed. The sounds of chopping wood or digging the earth in the quiet help me sleep well, that's all. But while the guy looks satisfied making a bed out of wood, I’m thinking, 'No, it’s way too hard…'"
1 Feb: "Man, I was just thinking, 'Oh, it's still only 11:30,' and now the next moment is already here—time flies. For real. HBD RUKI 🎂 I’ll send him a message in the morning. 💌"
17 Feb: "There are only a few left, though there’s a slight chance some remain. by Nietzsche"
25 Feb: "By the way, this time the bear is a rabbit because it's the Year of the Rabbit. There's no twist, but I think it turned out looking cool and kinda like me, don't you think? 🤔 Oh, and by the way, the hood can’t be taken off, so if you try to pull it off forcefully, the brain will jiggle."
10 Mar: "Everyone is really good at drawing. I’m super grateful, really grateful. ┏○))"
15 Mar: "It seems like there's a camera around here somewhere... nichaa (grinning mischievously)"
Tumblr media
16 Mar: "I tried to look cool and show off a bit. There's this book called Daimyo Tōsan (The Daimyo's Bankruptcy) that seems interesting—it’s a two-volume set. Since I’ve already got it, I’ll read it on my way to Tokyo."
27 Mar: "It's cloudy today. But I believe there is light ahead."
27 Mar: "Right? This band is so cool. Walking this path with them and all of our fans, I’ve never had a day where I didn’t want that to continue. During the MASS tour, I was so happy to enjoy it to the fullest again today. I can shine because the members are here, and you’re all by my side.

It’s been a little over two years since we released 'MASS.'
We've faced countless hardships, but thanks to being able to perform live so many times and receiving energy from all of you each time, we've safely made it to this stage today.
When what was 'normal' was no longer normal, we wanted to respond to the feelings of everyone who still came out to see us. So, we approached each performance with even more dedication and care than before. Through this process, I discovered my own potential and the band's possibilities, and I've come to realize that you all are more important to us than ever.
To carry forward the discoveries and the important connections that 'MASS' has brought to us, we want to keep moving forward, step by step, steadily.
I want to do more with all of you and see new sights together. That’s how I’m feeling right now.
Thank you so much for today. Please enjoy yourselves to the fullest until the very end!"
19 Sep "I left my youth at Nippon Budokan on July 15th, and now there’s a void in my heart. Back then, my hair only reached my shoulders, but now it’s grown long enough to use it as a jump rope. I’d love to do MASS tour again."
23 Nov "I’m guessing that by now, everyone’s starting to feel a bit starved of the GazettE."

Aoi QT: For me number one thing is the bond with the fans and the members, but it's different for Uru-pon? 🥺
Uruha QT: "Our bond should be fine, if you are calling me Uru-pon. Lol"

Hey, hru? Can you make some Tobyxnina hc/dynamics. I started shipping it because of u because I like the ship. Glad!:3
Sure! I love my rare pair but ig it’s getting more traction and I’m so happy!! :3 (idk if I had anything to do w that but I’m happy regardless. Also I hc Nina as black so :3 these are gonna be written in that in mind also these are all so fluffy)
Tumblr media
Toby x Nina headcannons❤️
Scemo girlfriend. Grungy midwestern emo boyfriend
They hang out in the forest away from everyone
Mainly because some of the other creeps are like “you guys are a very strange couple”
Nina embraces the weirdness of their relationship
It was unexpected and came out of nowhere and no one could’ve saw it coming
While Toby hates the comments about it
If they love each other why does it matter?
They are though
I mean Nina’s whole thing was liking Jeff
What changed?
After growing up and maturing Nina released she never even liked or loved Jeff
She was just obsessed with him
Leading to a very unhealthy “relationship”
(Jeff just kept her around because she did what he said)
But Nina and Toby were different
Through spending time together they had to build this unlikely relationship
Toby found her really annoying and Nina thought he was so gloomy
But after spending more time together Toby’s mood would lighten around her
He needed someone like her
She was so so happy and bubbly and gentle and sweet
Toby had only known rough, callous and uncaring all his life
So being around her felt peaceful
And it still does
Nina spent so long trying to impress Jeff
So her being able to make Toby happy by just being herself makes her cry with happiness sometimes
He loves HER
Not what she can do for him
Toby enjoys her holding her hand, not telling her what to do
Nina enjoys playing with his hair, not hitting him or pushing him around
They like each other :)
Since Nina is a scemo queen, Toby likes to watch her get ready
The teasing of her hair, putting on all those belts, the dark eyeshadow and eyeliner the dark brown concealer on her lips to blend in with her skin
He thinks it’s over the top and looks ridiculous
And he loves it
Because it’s on her
“Why do you still dress like it’s 2007?”
“Cuz it’s fun! :3!”
“Is it, now?”
“Mhm! You should try it!”
“Don’t think so”
“Ah my gloomy Toby”
“Not gloomy. Just not me”
“But we listen to emo music together though!”
“Doesn’t mean I have to dress like it”
“I’m gonna make you do it one day”
“Sure you are”
Nina loves watching him practice hatchet throwing
When he hits a tree right in the middle she’ll cheer
“Yay Toby!”
He smiles a bit at her as to say thank you
He still has trouble with the whole emotions thing
He won’t say he loves Nina with his words but his actions
Getting her a new studded belt, more hairspray new eyeliner and anything that reminds him of her
Blast emo music in the car together and headbang
Toby is midwestern emo and Nina is MySpace emo
Although Toby also really likes nu metal, and other alternative music too
Nina often steals Toby’s hoodies and sweaters and will wear them to sleep, especially when he’s away on a mission
They’re mainly brown, black, dark blue all neutral colors because Toby’s plain like that
They smell like him and it makes her so happy
“Nina-what did I tell you about taking my stuff?”
*nina knocked tf out*
“Ugh you’re lucky you’re beautiful. You’re getting makeup all over my hoodie”
Nina wants to straighten Toby’s hair and give him emo hair and a fringe sooo bad
Like really bad
He grew is hair out for her to do it, he didn’t care about his hair anyway
He’ll let her do what she wants and she did just that
She gave him emo hair but it looked professionally done it’s so clean
Toby’s honestly impressed
Nina thinks he looks so hot with emo hair especially when he wears plain black shirts or shirts with bands he likes on them
Literally the emo bf she’s always wanted
Toby hates being called emo buuuut he kinda is
She’s now trying to get Toby to let her dye his hair pink and black to match hers
That’s where Toby drew the line
Nina and Toby got matching piercings though!
Now they both have canine bites, septums, eyebrow piercings and a bunch of ear piercings
Why not? He can’t feel it
They’ll touch tongues through the open wounds in their faces
Nina will stick her tongue out through her smile and Toby will touch her tongue with his through his face gash hole thingy
Nina makes Toby candi bracelets and Toby puts them on his hatchets
Toby will take Nina shopping with money he stole and saved up from victims
Goes with her every time because he doesn’t want her to get harassed
Super protective of her, just like he is with all the women he loves
No one can make fun of Nina’s fashion except for him
Nina definitely sings rap songs like sexy red and Meg the stallion to him as a joke
Toby just tolerates it
“Stop me and you’re racist, Toby!”
*head in his hands* “I’m not stopping you”
Toby is still, blunt, rude, obnoxious and cynical but tries to tone it down around Nina
He knows she’s sensitive to people talking to her like that, especially her partners
Nina will sometimes decorate Toby’s scars with glitter
He’s covered in them
All he does is roll his eyes and let her
He wasn’t doing anything with them anyway
Even though Toby is 29 and Nina’s 27 they feel like happy teenagers with each other
This is what their lives should’ve been together if the world was kinder to them
Just 2 people in love, hanging out listening to music, together, shopping together, going out to eat together
Nina being scemo is healing her inner child
Toby loving her true authentic self is healing her inner child
Toby tries to do the same by wearing more comfortable sweaters and trying to break the habit of picking at his skin
Nina loving him despite all his problems is healing his inner child
This is how life should be
No abuse, no suffering
Just them being in love and chilling

Liveblog - Dofus, livre 1 : Julith [PART 16]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, we arrive at my most favourite scene of the entire movie: The battle against Atcham. And my most favorite music, too. Seriously, if you're reading this blog, and hadn't watched the movie yet, what are you doing? At least watch this scene!
youtube
Once again, we see Bakara fighting someone who is much older than her and has been to at least a single war.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She has absolutely no element of surprise, and he enters the fight on his own terms, — attacking her from behind, because her reaction time is way worse than his.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just as in the last confrontation, he dodges and parries her blows. Mostly dodges. He's more agile in air than Kerubim, and gets to his enemy faster. As a trade-off, Kerubim attacked more often in between parrying Julith's blows, because his nunchucks are a sort of ranged weapon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As already said — she is absolutely no match to him.
Tumblr media
There are many implications here: first of all, Atcham may or may not like women. Second of all, he may or may not even have preferences, despite nobody likely wanting him fr.
This info is very important for lore discussions, everyone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This battle was him playing with her. And he removes her from the battlefield just as nonchalantly as he won.
youtube
And here is my most favourite track in the entire movie...
Tumblr media
I think 10yo kids have a superpower that lets them detect people's insecurities. That, or he's remembering what Kerubim told him about Atcham.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Interestingly, while his swords seem to be made of wood at a first glance to a person who hasn't watched this movie 20 times like yours truly, these two shots (besides all the sparkles that'll be flying off these swords when they begin fighting...) confirm that it is, very much, not wood. He isn't afraid of accidentally killing a university student, a random idiot, and a ten-year-old.
Tumblr media
Judging from Joris's scared-ass face, he is also quite aware of what Atcham coming here with two shiny, sharp swords (currently pointed right at his head), means.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's putting Joris in his place, here. He's the unarmed 10-year-old. What can he do to him at worst? Cry about it? Scream?
Another part of this is that he needs Joris to come to Julith mostly unharmed, and not missing any limbs. Which will be easier, if he's scared and compliant.
Bad news for Atcham: Joris's response to being belittled is the same as his.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because this battle goes by very fast, due to Atcham and Joris both being very agile, it is interesting to look at it on a frame-by-frame basis, to see what they're actually doing to one another.
Joris has his hand in a fist. There is a big likelihood that he wasn't grabbing her bell, but punching Atcham, and this hypothesis seems quite likely when one sees how Atcham is thrown in the air by the impact.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just from this little moment alone, it is probably obvious to Atcham that, despite Joris's age, it will be a very annoying battle at best, and a fair one at worst. But even being aware of this doesn't give him the time to react to Joris's moves.
Tumblr media
After being punched in the face by Joris, he drops the bell, but interestingly, despite having all the time to grab it, Joris goes straight for his sword.
He has good priorities. Even if this battle is due to his worries about Lilotte, grabbing her bell and risking losing the opportunity to grab a weapon, would be far more detrimental.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Atcham hits Joris with his head 1-2 times, similarly to the way he will hit Ush in the future. This can point to either him borrowing other classes' techniques (the classic iop headbang), or to him developing this style when he was a child (when you're small, thin, and furless, the best way to defend yourself if some older kids are pinning you down would be to hit them with your head).
Also, interestingly, while Joris aims to hit Atcham with his sword lethally, Atcham keeps parrying his hits by either aiming at Joris's sword, or hitting him with his hands/legs/head. He can't exactly risk killing Julith's kid, — despite the numerous threats.
Tumblr media
I had always viewed this scene as Joris's true ascent to adulthood — not hiding, but grabbing a sword, a tool of killing, into his hands, for the sake of whatever family he has left.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Besides that, I also think it is the scene that truly made Atcham and Joris family, — brothers, an uncle and a nephew. Atcham would never have listened to him, much less grow to respect and love him, had Joris not fought back at his insults.
I bet when he was little, Atcham fought back too, just as feverishly. This is something he respects a lot, ad I bet that he blames himself at least a bit for not being strong enough when he was a kid. A very dog-eat-dog mentality.
(puts on tinfoil hat) If Kerubim and Joris's bond is "violence forged through pure love", and then Joris and Atcham's is "pure love forged through violence".

Some screencaps from finishing the game this past holiday! Hadn't been able to complete it because of comp issues, so it was nice to finally actually play through the thing lol. I admire all the little details that are easy to walk past. Hopefully the folks making the game had a fun time with it all
Also tried to jot down the songs on the back of the record covers, but I did it by taking screenshots and looking at them later. I couldn't make a lot of them out (like Stormriders), and missed Roddy's cover entirely while screenshoting! :( But I managed to get the bulk of the collection. Listed below the cut - it's fun to think of it as extra worldbuilding, and maybe useful for any fanfic writers lol.
