Hello !! Thanks sm for answering my question about which yugioh characters you write for ! :) Could I possibly request dating headcanons for Joey? The brainrot has been INSANE. ty!! :))

summerboy *ೃ༄

pairing *ೃ༄ joseph 'joey' wheeler / gn reader

cw *ೃ༄ joey's corny ass jokes /j

fic type *ೃ༄ headcanons

summary *ೃ༄ what it's like to date joey wheeler :).

note *ೃ༄ yeah of course ^^ !! sorry it took me so long to answer anon TwT, i hope you enjoy nonetheless !

masterlist *ೃ༄

ᡣ𐭩 . .  it’s kind of no surprise that joey’s a little bit of an idiot about ninety percent of the time, but he’s even more so when he’s in love. Now, if this isn’t a deal breaker for you, then he’s your guy! :) 

ᡣ𐭩 . . he requires a lot of patients simply because he can be a bit dense. But that doesn’t mean he’d be a bad boyfriend, he’s just a dummy with a big heart; it’s one of his most endearing qualities. He isn’t good with subtlety; If you were to send signals to him about literally anything, it’d go completely over his head until Tea or Yugi pointed it out to him — like i said, patience. 

ᡣ𐭩 . . now, just because joey isn’t the smoothest of guys, doesn’t mean he isn’t a sweetheart. If something’s bothering you and you’re being subtle about it, or hinting to it, he might not get it at first. But he’ll definitely catch onto it and ask you what’s wrong. He’s a great listener (most of the time) and if you ask him for help, he’s completely willing to help you out with whatever’s bothering you! 

ᡣ𐭩 . . if someone was bothering you, like a classmate or something, he wouldn’t hesitate to step in and defend you. Speaking about defending, this boy gets into a lot of stupid fights. It could be about anything but mostly it’s him just defending his friends against bullies. That being said, you’ll probably find yourself patching him up after fights while he sports a big dumb smile like he didn’t just get his shit rocked. 

“You know i’m not going to tell you to not get into fights, because you will regardless, but at least be a little more careful joey. Please.” you look at him with a stern stare as you wrap a blue band-aid around the cut on his cheek. 

“Yeah, yeah, i’ll try but I can’t guarantee anything.” he says smiling at you brightly, “Either way, I've got you to patch me up after, don’t I?” 

ᡣ𐭩 . . joey fits into all the love languages but i think he’d prefer expressing as well as receiving love through quality time and physical touch. We can’t deny the boy’s a little lonely, especially given his home situation, so spending quality time with his lover. 

ᡣ𐭩 . . whether it be unplanned adventures after school, like checking out a new arcade or listening to music with him at a park, he’s all for it. He’s the master of cliches and would definitely take you out to the movies or dinner dates at a fast food place. He’d share milkshakes and food with you, feeling a warmth in his chest when you smile at him. 

ᡣ𐭩 . . for physical touch, the guy’s a puddle if you hold hands with him or let him wrap his arm around you while he walks beside you. He’s a complete gentleman in the sense that he’s the type of boyfriend to pull the hem of your shirt to move you away from the side that’s close to the road on the sidewalk while the two of you carry on with conversation. 

ᡣ𐭩 . . he’s pretty touch starved so feel free to nap with him whenever the two of you are with the rest of the gang at yugi’s house. Just knowing that you trust him enough to fall asleep around him, with him, does things to his heart. 

ᡣ𐭩 . . aside from physical touch and quality time, he’s also a hugeeee fan of acts of service. If you offer to feed him when he’s unwell, he turns into mush and vows to keep you safe from all the dangers of the world (he’s delirious).

ᡣ𐭩 . . as for jealousy, he’s definitely one to get jealous pretty easily in the sense that he feels like he isn’t enough for you, that you deserve someone better (please tell him that he is enough :c). He’ll do everything in his power to treat you like the royalty you are and show you that he can be enough and that he is worth it.

ᡣ𐭩 . . all in all, he’s an 8.5 out of 10 boyfriend, he might be slower than most, but he’s got a huge heart and that’s all that matters. :)

It’s a pleasant surprise when your boyfriend Crow slips up behind you when you’re making dinner, strong arms wrapped around your plump waist and hugging you close, chin hooked over your shoulder as he tries to sneak a peek at what you’re cooking. He takes a deep breath, a hum stirring in the back of his throat as the scent tickles the tip of his tongue and he watches the pot boil.

“Smells good” he said. “What’s cookin’ good lookin’?”

The cheesy line makes you snort softly, the puff of air blowing a few stray strands of hair out of your face as you twist around in Crow’s hold. 

“You’ll just have to wait and see” you playfully teased. “Do you mind setting the table?”

Crow nodded along to your words, humming a quick “sure” in reply before leaning in to steal a kiss. Or several. Kissing the plush skin of your lips until you’re feeling breathless and your head is swimming in a dizzying sea of bliss. You can’t help but giggle as you sink into the feeling, your lips pressing back against his as your eyes slip shut for just a brief moment. Until it turned into a few moments and you could hear the water in the pot boiling behind you and spilling over the rim. You tried to squirm away from Crow with a soft protest but he was relentless as he chased your lips and caught the bruised skin between the pinch of his teeth.

“Crow!” you exclaimed, voice muffled against the insistent press of his lips. “It’s boiling!”

“Just a minute-”

He peppers you with a few more kisses before he finally relents, allowing you to catch your breath before you quickly tend to your dinner. You are able to save it, but you have to shoo Crow away before he could step in to help. 

“Set the table please” you remind him. 

“Okay” Crow finally agrees. “But I’ll be coming back for more.”

hello! just wondering, but do you write for all of the characters for each fandom? You just have the fandoms listed so I’m not too sure

hello there! thanks for stopping by anon!

i write for anyone who isn’t a child for the fandoms i write for romantically. platonically i can- it really depends on what the ask requests of me. but in short, yes i do write for all of the characters in the fandoms listed, you just gotta specify who. thanks for asking anon, i hope this clears things up!

[beelzenia-diner]

I love the way you write Marik so much, could you write Marik with s/o reader on her period? I feel like it would be so funny since he probably doesn’t know anything about periods, thank you sm!! 🫶🫶

stellar

pairing *ೃ༄ ishtar marik / fem reader

fic type *ೃ༄ headcanons, fluff

cw *ೃ༄ none? unless you consider period-talk a warning lol

summary *ೃ༄ how he'd tackle the task that is your period.

note *ೃ༄ sorry this took so long & that it's too short anon.. ive been drowning in ap lit work <//33

masterlist *ೃ༄

༊*·˚ . . Actually, contrary to popular belief, I think he’d be aloof but not completely clueless about periods. YuGiOh takes place in our modern universe (somewhere in the 2000s) & despite Marik being cut off from regular society, he actually knows a few things about this type of thing. 

༊*·˚ . . Having an older sister, he was taught from a pretty early age about what they were and why they happened but he wasn’t exactly taught how to handle them or help someone who was going through them since Ishizu handled those matters by herself. Therefore, when it’s that time of the month, you’ll probably have to give him specific instructions on what you need and when. 

༊*·˚ . . He definitely makes sure to buy everything you need and asks many questions about the specific products so that he doesn’t miss a thing — you’ll come to know that he’s quite the efficient caretaker. If you’re craving any specific snacks, he’ll go out of his way to buy them himself or have Odion get them. 

༊*·˚ . . His sister is definitely also helping him take care of you since she’d know more about it though. If you’re clingy during those days, he doesn’t at all mind it since he’s pretty touch starved (being overworked and possessed can do that to ya). He’ll try to act like he’s above it but almost always gives in to it when you seek him out. 

༊*·˚ . . If you stain his bedsheets, don’t even worry about it because he’s got it covered. He wants you to be worry-free and taken care of all the time when you’re with him but especially during these days since he knows that you can be more prone to fatigue and lethargy. 

༊*·˚ . . Over time, Marik doesn’t mind it if you get mad at him over simple things or cry over seemingly irrational stuff, he just consoles you or lets you win the argument because he knows that you’re probably more emotional during this time of the month. At the beginning of the relationship though, he often forgot that and provoked you more than often like the silly bastard he is <3 

༊*·˚ . . Overall he’s a pretty good caretaker when he’s not actively being an ass <3

Money, Money, Money

Must be funny in a rich man's world.

Thank you @true-deru for talking with me about this cute, funny little idea. I'm so glad I was able to finally write it. Let me know what you guys think, I was thinking about doing something similair with Reiji and Thomas Arclight/IV.

Comments and reblogs highly appreciated.

cw. fluff, gender neutral reader, chubby reader, minors please do not interact with my works

You stuffed the plump seam of your lips between the pinch of your teeth, eyes glued to your phone screen as you browsed the internet. It was a cold Saturday morning and you were still lazing on the couch, a plush throw rug bundled in your lap and a hot drink perched on the coffee table. You tapped your chin in thought as you continued to scroll on your phone, the pads of your fingers scraping against the old, worn out protective screen of your phone as you internet shopped. Your phone was really old, ancient according to your boyfriend, and you desperately needed a new one. 

But you couldn’t find the one you wanted for the right price. You had come across one you really liked but it was just a tad too expensive for your budget. You chewed on the dry skin clinging to the corner of your lips as you started to do some mental calculations. Maybe if you went on a plan? Or settled for one a little cheaper. You stared at the screen, the bright light reflecting in your eyes and you almost threw your hands up in frustration. 

“Damn these rising inflations” you mumbled with a soft huff. 

The short puff of air that breezed past your lips stirred small wisps of your hair, blowing them out of your eyes as you reached for your hot drink and took a long, loud sip. You heard footsteps echo down the hallway and you almost flinched when you heard your partner say your name from just over your shoulder. 

“What are you muttering about?”

You swallowed down your mouthful of hot drink, almost sputtering in surprise as you whipped your head around to see Kaiba standing right behind you. If it wasn’t for his steady hand placed between your shoulder blades, you were sure you would have spilled your drink all over your lap. Instead, you were able to place your mug safely back to the coffee table, an idea sudden;y sparking in your mind when you drew your eyes back to Kaiba. He was smart and good with numbers, surely he could help you out. You didn’t hesitate as you drew yourself up onto your knees, a bright and beaming smile lighting up your face. 

“Seto! Just the man I wanted to see!” you exclaimed. 

He raised an eyebrow in question, a smidge confused at your sudden excitement as you perched yourself on your knees, the fluffy blanket in your lap slipping and pooling around your thick legs as you straighten your back. He drew his attention to your phone as you practically shoved it into his hands, tapping on the screen as you showed him your current predicaments. 

“I was just comparing prices for a new phone” you began before Kiaba interjected with what sounded like a huff of relief. 

“Finally decided to get rid of this fossil?” he said, his jab almost sounding teasing.

You rolled your eyes so hard they almost disappeared into the back of your head, a sarcastic laugh falling from your lips as you drew out each syllable.

“Ha, ha, very funny Seto.” 

You lightly pushed his chest and he didn’t even move an inch, eyes tracing the movement of your fingers as you drew them back to your phone screen. 

“I was just comparing prices” you repeated. “And I wanted your opinion. Which one do you think is better?”

There was a soft pinch between his brow as he thought about it, fingers swiping across the screen as he silently read what was on the screen. It only took him a moment before his gaze flickered back to you. 

“Which one did you want?” he inquired. 

You shuffled on your knees and pushed yourself a little higher, looking at your phone screen at an awkward angle as you swiped the screen back to the one you wanted. 

“This one” you said. “It’s got what I need. But its too expensive. If I could find one a little cheaper that does the same thing-”

“Hmm, then I’ll just get it for you.”

Your brain short circuited for a few, brief seconds. Your expression turned shocked, large does eyes threatening to pop out of your head as you gaped up at him in mild confusion. 

“I…Huh?”

That was the only intelligent thing you could muster up. Kaiba didn’t pay you any mind as he gave you back your phone just so he could fish his own out of the pocket of his pants and start tapping away on it. He turned his back to you as he continued to type and it took you another moment to gather your thoughts. 

“Wait, no. You’re not allowed to do that.”

You sprung into action, almost completely launching yourself over the back of the couch as you wrapped your arms around his shoulders and pulled yourself up. He didn’t seem to be bothered at all by your weight as your plump figure clung to the broad expanse of his back, chin hooked over his shoulder so you could see what he was doing. He wasn’t joking. He already had the phone you wanted up on his screen. 

“Wait, don’t spend your money on me!” you griped, fingers digging into the back of his shirt to try and gain his attention.

He only spared you a cursory glance before he continued to type. Your arms dangled over his shoulders as you tried desperately to reach for his phone but you fell woefully short. It made the corners of his lips crack into a ghost of a smile.

“You want it, don’t you?”

“Yes but-”

“Then I don’t see the problem” Kaiba mused. 

One last click and it was already too late. It was paid for. A loud sigh pushed past your lips as you bunted your head against his shoulder, lips tugging into a frown as you sulked. You sagged in defeat, slowly sliding back down into your spot as you gathered your blanket into your lap once more. You didn’t expect him to do that. You weren’t trying to coerce him into getting you anything and now you felt a little guilty about it. You had money, you could get it yourself.  

“You don’t need to buy me things” you grumbled. 

Kaiba placed a hand on your head, gently ruffling your hair as the soft wisps curled around his fingertips. 

“You’re too frugal with your money. And I know I don’t need to. I wanted to” he replied. 

You turned your head as he leaned down, face hovering closer as you slowly lost the pout tugging at your lips. It felt a little silly to be this upset with him. You knew he was only just trying to help and make it a little easier for you. But you were horrible at accepting gifts, always arguing that you didn’t need anything. It took you another long moment to let his gesture sink in, a smile tilting your lips as you leaned in close and kissed his cheek.

“Thank you, Seto. That helps a lot” you said, arms coiling around his neck as you hugged him.  

A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as you clung to him again

“You’re welcome. If it makes you feel better, it didn’t even make a dent in my savings.”

“Okay, now you’re just showing off money bags.”

rhodes siblings + their types

pairings : alexis rhodes , atticus rhodes x gn! reader (separate)

note : These are just my ideas as to what their types are when dating lol. Y’all should definitely send requests (plsplspls)!! Also if anything is wrong I blame it on the fact I haven’t watched the show in a bit OR watched season 4. There was gonna be other characters but I’m tired and it’s 4 am.

ALEXIS RHODES :

✶ Being one of the top duelists at the academy, Alexis wouldn’t be one to settle for someone who will consistently do the bare minimum. If you aren’t someone who will put their all into things they’re passionate for, then you might not be a good match for Alexis. Some qualities she values are: compassion, honesty, empathy, confidence, and most importantly, passion. To me, she’s someone who is always striving to become a better person and duelist, so someone of the same nature is a good fit for her.

✶ Being a duelist isn’t exactly something that’s necessary in order to catch Alexis' eye and have her be interested in you, but I definitely see it being something that would make it harder to connect with her. She’s a top duelist at a school dedicated to it, will most likely pursue it as a career, and it has been something she’s done since childhood. Dueling is a big part of her life, so being with someone who doesn’t do it or comprehend it wouldn’t be ideal for her.

✶ She essentially likes people with confidence and passion, someone who she can relate to as well. Alexis is a strong girl who prefers those that don’t hide whenever they’re faced with trouble or a challenge. Other than that, I don’t think there’s much to say lol.

ATTICUS RHODES :

✶ Atticus is almost always seen being lively and carefree, the life of the party if you will. So naturally, he’d want someone who can match his energy and is just as free spirited as he is. He’s someone who carries himself with confidence and doesn’t let anyone’s words get to him. This is something he’d definitely like in a potential partner, but he doesn’t mind if someone is a little timid! But, if it’s to the point where someone lets their lack of self confidence dictate their whole life, that’s when it gets pathetic to him and deters him from pursuing someone.

✶ The whole Nightshroud situation was something heavy that Atticus will always have to carry. He was possessed by Nightshroud for around a year or so, making him miss out on quite a bit of you think about it. That year could’ve been spent with friends and creating memories, but it was instead spent in darkness and isolation. Not to mention, he lost his best friend and probably many others he was close to. With this, he’d want someone who is understanding and compassionate. If he’s having a hard time handling his traumas and someone just can’t understand why it’s tough for him, that won’t be a good match. If he’s venting to a possible partner, he’d want them to listen and truly care for what’s going on.

✶ I feel like I’ve written too much for him (and it feels like all I wrote was useless), but whatever. Atticus essentially wants someone who is carefree and confident, being able to match his vibe. But, he also needs someone who’s willing to listen and care for what he’s going through.

For my Valentines event.

Comments/reblogs highly appreciated.

Valentines Prompts

"Hey! Would you like to see a magic trick?"

Dennis’ enthusiastic voice tickled your ears as he suddenly appeared in the living room while you lazed on the couch. You had your nose stuck in an engrossing light novel but you turned your attention towards your boyfriend when he called your name. You peered up at him beneath thick lashes with an inquisitive look, noting the magician’s hat he held in one hand while a wand was clasped tightly in the other. A small smile played on your lips as your book fell shut with a soft snap and it fell into your lap. You nodded in response to Dennis’ question.

"I’d love to see one" you replied. 

Dennis’ bright and beaming smile was dazzling, his eyes shimmering with mirth as he prepared himself. He took a deep breath, chin jutted out and chest puffed up as he got ready to put on a performance. 

"As you can see, there is nothing in this hat" Dennis proclaimed. 

He turned the rim of the hat towards you, showing that his statement was true as there was nothing hiding inside of the hat. Next, he flaunted the wand in his other hand as you nodded along, eyes flowing the movement as he twirled the wand between his fingers. 

"But with a wave of this magic wand, I can make anything appear" Dennis continued. 

"Anything?" you lightly teased. 

Dennis gave you a soft wink as he tipped the hat up, pressing a finger to his lips. "I must ask for silence from the audience so I can concentrate."

You couldn’t help the small bout of giggles that bubbled up your throat as you pressed the seam of your plump lips together, hand politely covering your mouth as you followed along to his instructions. Your eyes traced the movement of the wand again as it hovered over his ‘magical’ hat, playfully waving in the air as he drew nonsensical patterns with it. He tapped the brim of the hat once as he seemed to focus on the magic trick he was weaving, brow furrowed in concentration as the rhythmical tapping of the wand against the hat cut through the silence. 

"Abra cadabra!" Dennis exclaimed.

In the next instance, he reached his hand inside the hat and pulled out a bouquet of beautiful red roses. You were stunned and awed at the sight, hands clapping together as you cheered on the little performance he gave you in your small, humble living room. Dennis grinned as you clapped for him and he bowed with dramatic flair before he flaunted the bouquet for you. He dropped to his knees in front of you, a hand placed over his heart as he offered the flowers for you. 

"For you, my darling" he sang with a soft hum.

Your long lashes fluttered wildly over your round, warm cheeks as you gasped softly, heart swelling with affection and head feeling fuzzy from his display of love. You reached out with shaky hands, taking the roses from Dennis with a soft smile. The scent of roses filled your lungs with each breath you took, the soft petals tickling your nose as you inhaled the sweet perfume. You were speechless for a brief moment as you gathered your thoughts, heat creeping down your neck and burning the tips of your ears.

"Dennis, you’re so sweet. They’re beautiful. I love them."

Dennis’ smile was contagious as he held your hand, thumb brushing along the knuckles as he beamed up at you. 

"Happy Valentines~" he cooed. 

You smiled sweetly before leaning forward and placing a soft kiss to his forehead. "Happy Valentines."

my VERY BELATED christmas list: bad at wrapping

“Having trouble there, rich boy?”

“Shut it!” Chazz snaps back automatically. It’s only then he registers the voice. “—you’re not supposed to be in here!”

Male dorms tend to have an odd energy to begin with, but Chazz’s space looks like a winter holiday war zone— snippets of ribbon everywhere, wrapping paper shredded in clear shows of frustration. A tape dispenser lays discarded, the tape itself bundled around the plastic holder in a way that will probably never come off.

And, in the eye of the storm, is Chazz Princeton. Face red, eyes wide, looking the very picture of guilt.

“You could at least knock!” He bites out. He’s awkwardly hunched over something, his broad shoulders hiding his current project from your wandering gaze.

“I did,” you hum; when you take a few steps closer, Chazz scrambles to rearrange himself, draping his coattails over whatever he’s hiding. “You were too busy cussin’ up a storm to hear me, I guess. What’cha got there?”

“Nothing.” Chazz petulantly crosses his arms. “I’m just wrapping things. Get out.”

You’re not the directions-following type. Instead of listening, you drop yourself to the floor next to him. Whatever’s hidden under his coattails is shaped oddly. “Looks like you’re struggling.”

Chazz’s face turns a different shade of red. “I know how to wrap things!” He bites back, opening his mouth to keep arguing.

“Knowing and doing are different things,” you snicker. It’s not worth the fight to try and snatch his coat away, so you settle for grabbing another boxed item— what are these, deck sleeves?— and one of the neglected gift bags stacked in the corner with the other supplies. “Shouldn’t ignore these things, they’re way easier.”

Chazz just sits for a few moments, pouting defiantly; resorting to gift bags feels like losing, and Princetons don’t lose. Still, he can’t deny that you are moving way faster than he’d been; progress has been slow all afternoon, but you’re quick about popping things into bags and arranging colored tissue paper.

You’re also pointedly ignoring the way he stares. “D’ya want me to show you how to actually wrap things? In paper?”

“—no,” he’s much calmer this time, “I’ve got it covered.” He’s careful as he turns back around , still trying to hide the item he’d been wrapping when you walked in; this leads to a few moments of awkward stretching as he reaches for the stack of gift bags, swatting your hand away when you try to hand him one. He’ll do it himself, thanks.

There’s some rustling as he stuffs the apparent gift into the bag, peeking over his shoulder to make sure you’re not watching. “I don’t like these ‘cause they’re easy to look into,” he huffs. “I go through all the trouble of finding something for you— aha.”

More stretching as he snatches something off his desk, and then you hear a couple of clicks as he finishes. When Chazz turns around, he’s got that smug grin on his face again as he shoves something into your hands.

About what you’d expected— a gift bag with your name on it. Uh, stapled shut. The Obelisk student is grinning as he taps at the tag.

“Do not open before Christmas.”
