DISCLAIMER: Toxic. I imagine Lorroakan to be a selfish lover who has yet to learn to love selflessly. These HCs are quite general and may vary depending on who he's with. NSFW HEADCANONS

𝐋𝐄𝐓'𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐬.

➣ Lor is very jealous and possessive. He believes he is entitled to his partner's undivided attention and unwavering devotion. Even though he'd never admit/acknowledge it, there's an underlying fear of rejection and loss, which fuels these beliefs.

➣ Lorroakan, on the other hand, doesn't return the same level of devotion. There are times when he becomes consumed by his own pursuits, becoming distant, detached and (sometimes unintentionally) neglects his partner.

➣ It's difficult to coax him out of his shell when when he's like that, and chances are he will snap at you and be an ass. "Can't you see I'm busy? Your incessant pestering is becoming tiresome, you know?!"

➣ Lor can be extremely toxic if his partner doesn't know how to rein him in. He knows their vulnerabilities, their insecurities, and he's not above exploiting them.

➣ If he feels insecure about their relationship, if he feels threatened or overshadowed by them, if he feels like his partner isn't paying the attention to him they should, he will chip away at their confidence, making them doubt their worth. Sometimes with veiled insinuations, venom disguised as honey; sometimes he'd point out their "flaws" pretty straightforwardly.

➣ He wants to make them feel like they wouldn't find anyone as good as him. Ever.

➣ Lorroakan simply cannot stomach the thought of being abandoned. If push comes to shove, he'll do whatever it takes to keep his lover with him, even if it means sinking his claws into them, just to ensure they won't slip away.

Lorroakan's love is, as I already mentioned, SELFISH; driven by his own desires (and insecurities) rather than the well-being of his partner. It's a love that seeks to possess rather than to nurture, to control rather than to support.

That said, I absolutely think that he has the capacity to grow and evolve (yey, redemption arcs) if he's with the right person. ♡

Just out of curiouse, do you have any tips for beginner artists? I would really appreciate one

Of course! ^-^ I'm more than happy to help!

Let's see...without the ability to have a conversation, I'm not sure where exactly you are in skill level, so I guess I'll start with some basic quality-of-life tips.

General:

You don't have to go to college to get good at art. I didn't go to art school!

Watch youtube videos from good artists, or those you admire!

What kind of art do you ultimately want to produce? This isn't an instance of "I can only pick one thing", it's more like...each type of art requires different skills, and if you know ahead of time what you want to do FIRST, you can narrow down what you have to learn.

learn proper sketching and use of circles and other shapes to build the figure, don't just jump in making the final lines right away! It's not a "cheat", it's proper technique. It's "caring about your work".

Same for references. Google up some images of what you want to draw and look at them while you draw your own picture. It's not only okay, it's what professionals do. You need to train your EYE as well as your hand.

It's okay to mimic styles you like! But be aware that each artist may stretch or squish or exaggerate proportions to fit what they personally like to see. This is why it's IMPERATIVE that you learn realism alongside any manga style you want to try. Once you learn where the eyes sit on the face, the different facial planes and what bones they relate to, and different sizes and builds for the face, you can then manga them up to any style you want!

For real paper:

Use a protector sheet, or wear a glove on your drawing hand. You want to make sure you don't get graphite or colored pencil on the side of your hand, and then smear it on your drawing. Placing a piece of paper under your hand will protect your work!

Don't touch your art with your fingertips. Fingertips have oil and gunk on them, and will smudge your drawing. (If you're working with charcoal, this could work to your advantage! But you're probably not using charcoal. It's messy and usually limited to college art students.)

Get the right tools! You can buy a small eraser set in the art section of Wal-Mart for like $3 -- it has a polymer eraser, a smaller white eraser, and the all-important KNEADED ERASER. This thing can be squished and torn apart and it'll pick up graphite like a champ! Do not bother with hard pink erasers, they're trash.

You don't need special paper to learn. I used to draw on the backs of my dad's extra math photocopy papers. Copy paper is smooth and not too fussy and I like it. "Sketch pads" usually have a rougher grain, and I hate the way the paper feels. Also there's a lot of ugly white spots when you try to shade or use colored pencils. Only use that if you're keeping a cute little book or using pastel crayons or something (or it's all you have). Don't fuss over it too much while you're learning. It won't make much difference until you're ready to specialize!

Blending stumps are cool and even pros use them.

Get a small electric pencil sharpener. They're less than $10 at places like Dollar General, and those stores are literally everywhere.

If you get a manual sharpener in an "art set", that's fine, too, but it hurts my hand to do it manually. I like the ones that have little covers.

It DOES matter what kind of ink pen you use. Gel pens will smear. Most markers are washable, and you better believe they will run at the first hint of moisture. India Ink also smears and runs with water. I recommend Sakura Micron pens, Zig Mangaka pens, or my favorite --- the Kuretaki Bimoji felt tip brush pen. You can get all that on Amazon, and it's like $6. I got the superfine tip.

LET YOUR INK DRY BEFORE YOU PUT MARKERS OR WATERCOLOR OR ANYTHING AT ALL OVER IT. It takes maybe 20 minutes.

If you don't plan to color it, you CAN draw with a ball point pen and it'll look just fine.

Do a tiny little water streak test with any markers you plan to use with watercolor. Just brush a tiny bit of water over the mark after it's dry to see if it bleeds. I use that bleed to my advantage sometimes, but you just gotta be aware of what's what.

Digital:

You can buy a small, cheap tablet from HUION for less than $40. MAKE THE INVESTMENT. IT'S WORTH IT.

Clip Studio Paint is EXCELLENT. Well worth the $50-$60 price tag. I think you can try it before you buy it, too. It gives you access to the Asset Store -- which is the single greatest artistic sharing tool I have EVER seen, and I've used SAI for ...probably a decade... I've used dozens of custom brushes and even made my own, and I just can't even believe what is available with CSP. Do yourself a favor and get it.

"But I can't use a tablet! I can't look at a screen while I draw!" Yes you can. YES you can. Yes you can, if you'll just try it. "but I tried once and it didn't work" Well YEAH, if you only tried a handful of times, OF COURSE it didn't work. Do you know what practice is? HUION screen tablets are over $300!!!!! Do you have that kind of disposable income lyin around? (plz donate some to me if you do lololjk =u=; )

Start saving a folder full of refs.

Ask people to tell you what to draw. Let them request something for free. This makes you draw things you wouldn't normally draw, and there is INCREDIBLE value in stepping outside of your comfort zone. You will level up in no time.

Whew...that covers most of the basics, I think. If you have something specific you want me to go into more detail on, please let me know! I love helping ;w;

commission prices for 2022

writing has always been a passion of mine and now i'm actively trying to make it so that i writing can not only be my passion but my livelyhood.

hi, my name is naomi. if you're on this blog and reading my comission prices, you've probably seen my writing floating around tumblr or ao3. i've written numerous fanfictions about numerous fandoms and have all done it pretty much pro bono.

now, if you want, you can have a fully customised piece of your own!

COMMISSIONS OPEN

i'm offering:

a piece of writing that's at least 300 words and, at most, 30k words long. the writing can be a chaptered work, a oneshot, a short drabble or a letter sent from a character you choose. heck, it can be anything! as long as it's fiction work (so, no, i won't write your paper on male circumcision in early europe)

i'll write any genre you choose! the genres i specialise in are romance, sci-fi, fantasy and erotica/smut but i'm willing to write whatever genre you want!

i'll also write for any fandom you want me to write for and there's no extra charge if it's a fandom i don't know about. i'll happily research abt it loool and i'd be really impressed if you request a fandom i haven't heard of so it's a win win

if it's a romance piece of writing, you can request a pairing with your character and the reader, your character and a character from a fandom or two characters from a fandom together. i'd also love to do any combination of those as a polyship (more than two people in a romantic relationship)

you can give me whatever you want and i'll run with it. do have a story idea that you love but nobody wants to write? do you have a pairing that literally nobody is creating content for? you just have a really cute character you want to receive some love? i'm happy to write it!

my pricing will be 10 cents per word, which is $3 for 300 words, $10 for 1000 words and $300 for 30k words! if i accidentally write over the amount you've requested, i won't charge you for it so don't worry about that. also, i'd love to be tipped 20% but it's totally fine and not required. you'd already be helping me out loads by commissioning me!

i'm very flexible with payment since i understand people may be a bit cautious about sellers running off with their money. i'd prefer all the money upfront but we can also do half the payment upfront and the other half after i've written the fanfic!

if you're interested in commissioning me, the best way to contact me is through my discord nyeowmi#1004. you can also contact me through my twitter @nyooomNyooom, here on tumblr or at my email nyeowmi@gmail.com

most of the time, it'll only take me about a week to write your piece but, of course, the longer the piece, the longer it will take me to write it. but a week is the goal and, if there's any delays, i'll be very communicative about it and let you know.

i reserve the right to turn down any commissions but that's really honestly unlikely since i'm a debauched writer who'd do anything for money loool! you're allowed to share the finished commission on social media and i will also ask if i'm able to share your commission on my tumblr or social media. however, you're not allowed to sell the commission or otherwise try to earn money using my commission without my permission

if you need examples of my writing, all of my blogs are on my linkt.ree and any commissions i've written will be published here on the blog

Trust - Part 3

Shoto Todoroki x Reader 

+ Minors DNI 

previous | part | next

"So what, they were just arguing outside the dorm?" Toshi asked, stretched out on the couch in my workshop, manspreading as he rubbed the back of his neck. One of his long legs not quite fitting on the small red couch, hanging over edge.

"Yeah...I mean, I don't think it was too serious but there was definitely yelling." I stated, flicking my protective goggles down over my eyes and welding new panels on some of Bakugo's equipment, keeping the lines clean and crisp. Not wanting to feel or hear the wrath of Katsuki Bakugo if something was out of place.

"And you were in the bushes?" He asked, quirking his eyebrow, laughing at me as he laid down further on the couch.

"Not in a creepy way! In a what the fuck, dodge and evade kinda way." I said, my voice becoming higher as I defended myself. I had to admit, the situation last night would have sounded suspicious if I had told anyone else. A half-black 18-year-old, hiding in the bushes listening to a conversation between two rich popular people in the middle of the night. Yeah very sus indeed. But I knew that my story was safe with Hitoshi, hoping that he might even have some insider 3A knowledge.

"Well, nothing too exciting happened after they left. Yaomomo walked in head held high, made some tea and went to bed." He said, yawning and placing his arm over his eyes. He didn't mention Todoroki. Did he not go back inside? Where did he find himself last night? I didn't dwell any longer in the bushes to find out, almost regretting that decision now.

"So no gossip? I'm disappointed." I said shrugging, faking disappointment. He laughed behind me, his arm still shielding his eyes as he shifted and got comfortable, preparing to nap as I worked into the late afternoon no doubt. Mr Aizawa having to cancel their private training for 'Pro Hero Reasons'.

I never cared much for the drama of UA students, hero course or otherwise, but recently a two-toned boy had piqued my interest. The situation last night not helping me want to mind my own business. Usually everyone was too busy or too tired for drama, a fact that I had come to love since being at UA. Gone were the days of schoolyard bullying and the gossip about who was hooking up with who.

"What's going on in that brilliant brain of yours?" Hitoshi asked, his arm still over his eyes, not once had he even looked up.

"I can feel the neurons firing in your brain from here." He said before I could answer. It was times likes these that I hated he knew me so well.

What was going on in my brain? It felt like for the first time in 18 years I didn't know exactly what I wanted or how I would go about getting it. Shoto Todoroki's name had really thrown a spanner in the works from the moment it was listed next to mine.

"He is quite interesting... that's all I'll say about it." I said in Hitoshi's direction, looking back down, welding the remaining panels together.

"What? You have a thing for Todoroki now? Well get in line behind the rest of the school." He said laughing.

"I don't have a thing! I just find him interesting. Is that a crime?"

I put my equipment away and stood back admiring the finished product, hand on my hip and once again covered in grease. The thick black layer of grime almost a permanent feature of my skin since 1st year. Most of my clothes stained and musty. Smelling like the workshop and a truck had a baby.

"Speaking of interesting... Shishida said he knew you were there last night. I saw him talking to Kaibara about it this morning before class, looking all flustered." Toshi said, finally getting up and coming to stand beside me with one hand in his pocket and the other atop my head.

"I forget that his quirk lets him hear and smell everything. It's a little unsettling." I stated, a shiver going up my spine. I did forget about Shishida and his beast quirk, how he probably heard the whole thing and everything that was said and done last night in Sen's dorm room. Since mine and Hitoshi's most recent conversation about Sen, I have been feeling worse. Wishing that I could like him more or at least have the decency to cut him off. As much as I hated the thought of a relationship the thought of being alone forever with no one sounded even worse, as selfish as it sounded. I was using Sen to feel something, something that I knew would never grow and we would never be more than this.

"Am I a terrible person?" I asked, out of the blue. Shocking even Hitoshi as his eyes went wide.

"Of course not, why would you ask that?"

"I can feel it, I feel how much he likes me and wants me to stay but I just can't. I worry that I won't ever like anyone like that." I said sadly, dropping my head and removing the helmet, rubbing my cheek with the back of my hand.

"Hey! Boys and girls may come and go but you and me are forever. Don't ever forget that. I've seen your heart and I know how big it is and I know exactly who you are." He said, putting his long finger under my chin and lifting my head, a small smile on his handsome face.

"I don't know what will happen in the future. But regardless I'll always be on your side."

                                                              *

The next few days continued on like any other, morning classes then UA class followed by after school and extra curricular activities. The last bell of the day rang out, dismissing students and teachers who were eager to get back to the dorms to start enjoying their one day weekend. Sunday being the only day off for all students.

"So... What are you wearing? I'm thinking that red dress where your boobs look absolutely amazing." Mei said as she linked our arms as we left out respective workshops and matched step as we left the main UA building.

"Hmm maybe, I mean they are one of my best assets." I agreed, replying to Hitoshi's text message about what time we should head over.

"I'm excited. Iida has been freaking out all week trying to mentally prepare for tonight, I can already picture him running around offering people water or something lame like that." She giggled, her face lighting up as she talked about Iida.

Mei and Tenya weren't official but to all of us they might as well have been. They even spent last Christmas together, sharing their first kiss in the snow. I think Iida was hesitant after what happened to his brother, not wanting anything terrible to happen to the people he loved most because of his career path. A noble man through and through.

Ding.

Sen- Hey, are you coming to the party tonight?

I hadn't seen Sen since the last time we had sex and I left without an explanation, saying that I would text him. Which I had not done.

I had been thinking about everything recently, liking Sen enough to not want to hurt him but not liking him enough to want to be his girlfriend. We were both already in too deep, whatever I said now even if it was letting him down easy was going to be harsh. That's what happens when you are a selfish piece of shit who just wants to get dicked down. I sighed heavily and looked down, rubbing my temples. Over having to think about this whole situation, and just wanting to crawl into bed and never come out.

"Whoa whoa whoa, what is this? I don't like it." Mei said, waving her hand up and down, gesturing to my whole body.

"Why aren't you excited! We always get excited for parties." She stated, linking our arms once more and walking us down the halls.

"I'm excited. Who said I wasn't excited."

"Oh just your face, your body language and your whole aura."

She was probably right, the introvert in me wanted nothing more than to stay home and avoid any and all confrontation about the situation that I had caused. I didn't answer her as we continued to walk, making our way to the huge doors and pushing them open. Coming face to face with Sen, Shishida and Tetsu Tetsu. All of them turning and looking directly at us as we walked out.

"Hey guys! Wanna walk together?" Tetsu asked, his usual cheerful self on full display. His sunshine personality and aloofness clearly missing the weird tension between me and Sen.

"Um..." Sen started, blushing slightly and looking in my direction, his eyes looking sad as they took me in.

"We would love to! 3 future pro heroes as our personal chaperons? How did we get so lucky?" Mei answers, her voice getting higher as she looked between me and Sen, picking up whatever energy we were giving off.

We went the long way, the plan was to drop us off at our dorm then the 3 boys continue onto theirs. The conversation flowed naturally as we all talked about the party tonight and offers which we had gotten for work studies and internships.

"Hatsume I really loved the gear you made me! You guys are so cool, I wish I was half as smart as you. Mr Vlad might actually pass me then." Testu Testsu confessed, smiling and showing off his sharp teeth to us. The rest of the group continued to make small talk as we walked, me and Sen lagging behind the group, not walking together but close enough that I could hear his breathing. Fast and almost panicked, cleary working himself up.

"Y/N. Can I talk to you for a sec?" Sen asked quietly behind me so only I could hear. I stilled, scared that if I turned around, my heart and head would be even more confused. As if that was possible.

"You guys can go on without us." I said to the others, smiling at them as they waved us off.

"I'm s."

"I just."

We both said at the same time, both of us stepping forward towards each other. A blush making it's way up Sen's cheeks. He was incredibly cute. The type of cute that if you bought him home your parents would approve. The type of cute that was safe.

"You know that I like you, I don't try to hide it Y/N" He stated confidently, his darks eyes staring into mine.

"I love being with you, not just physically. I want to be someone you can rely on. Be there for you whenever you need. Why won't you give me a chance?" He said louder this time. My heart hammering in my chest. Not at his sudden confess but because I was scared of my answer, scared of being labeled the bad guy and rightfully so.

"Please, come with me to the party as my date and just give me a chance. There has to be something there or else we wouldn't have made it this far."

That's where he was wrong. People could sleep with people and not want to date them. People could promise each other the world and leave them the very next day. I knew that I could have sex with Sen a million times and even then, it would only be sex. He would only ever be cute, and if things ever went any further he would only break my heart or me his.

Despite this, as I looked at his eyes and his tall frame looming over me I answered with the complete contradiction.

"Yes, meet me outside my dorm at 7?"  

[gummy-dummy]

Hi everyone! This is my first fic on Tumblr, it's just here, for now, I'm excited and kinda nervous too, my native language it's Spanish and I'm trying to be better at English so sorry for the grammars mistakes, I hope you like it, dear reader.

Warnings: Probably bad grammar or mistakes, swearing, mention of knives, mentions of death, kinda cute, kinda soft, confused Dabi, he doesn't know but he a softie.

It was pretty late when Shoto and I started doing our night patrol, it had been 3 months since we graduated from the UA in the hero course, the first 4 of the class were invited to work at Endeavor’s agency, Deku, Dynamight, Shoto and me, Artemis. We were the new pro-heroes with the biggest expectation from the public.

Endeavor wasn't the best at talking but I trust him, also thanks to him I don't have to worry about rent, the agency offered departments near the agency, and the rooms in the agency’s building were comfortable enough, usually, the new group was Split into two for patrol, Deku always had to go with Dynamght, he was the only one who can keep up with Bakugo’s shit, Shoto and me, we already were pretty Good Friends, I even can say we are each other’s confidant, it was a pretty nice night shift together, the absence of noise and people (and Bakugo’s shit), made it go smoothly as always. We are used to talking about everything, in the streets we could say anything, and no one more than us knew what secrets lay between us. There were secrets that Shoto didn’t want his father to know, not that he cares, but just to protect the people that he loved.

The current number one hero thought that the friendship we share will eventually become a love story, but oh boy, little did he know. Shoto had romantic feelings for another hero, I am pretty much the only person that Shoto has physical contact with, hugs and rest on each other shoulders, that's why his dad thinks of us that way. I don’t have family near where we are but the Todoroki family accepted me as one of their own since Endeavor thinks that I and Shoto are together we had to explain to Shoto’s siblings and Mom that he was in love with someone else, they didn’t care at all.

Suddenly the cold wind of the night started to get weird, making the residual trash of the city blow roll in the air, we both started to run there to know what was happening, at the moment we got close enough a black and purple substance started emerging from nowhere, it was a warp, the kind that the League of Villains has Access to, Shigaraki Tomura came out first, being followed by the tall, half-burned popcorn (as Shoto and I like to call him) Dabi, Toga right behind them with other 3 members.

I summoned my light arrows on my bow, I shoot an arrow at the leader and the tall man with black hair just disintegrates it with his blue fire. Like it was nothing.‘What are you doing here?’ Shoto asked the team of villains, Shigaraki just started to laugh ‘We came to get some groceries, what the fuck he is trying to do? Distract us?

I just rolled my eyes and said ‘Yeah well, here, you have something to add to your list I quickly prepared my bow with a new arrow, this time a stronger one, that can’t be destroyed so easily. The amount of power that this one has, with the purple hue and the energy that makes everything feel like an earthquake made the leader of the team look at it with fear in his eyes, Dabi tried to take it with his fire, but nothing happened, the arrow just started to follow all of Shigaraki’s moves, so again the man in front of him tried to catch it with his bare hands, oh what an error was that. The indentation that my arrow left on his right hand wouldn’t heal properly at all, not till I gave the order to my arrow to disappear in the wind.

Dabi just looks at me, while the others started to attack us he just stayed on the side, watching every move I make, (with) Shoto work pretty well with each other, we know our quirks and how to enhance each other's quirks.

There was a lady that appears to be new into the league, I never saw her before, she started to shoot mini grenades from her hand, making me jump to the side to avoid it, one laid between my feet, I didn't notice it until it hit me if that thing blows I die.

I'm going to die here.

The last thing I heard was a scream, Shoto screaming my real name, and then... darkness.

The next thing I know is that I'm in a completely white room, very small, I'm chained to one of the sides of a small bed, being forced to stay seated on the cold floor, if I am in one of the League facilities why they want me here? the murder of a new pro-hero would be an accomplishment by the league, why don't make it while I sleep? it would be something to make all the world feel unsafe, make all the heroes feel in danger. I hear the noise of the door opening, someone calls my name.

Dabi, that jerk, wait he was the one that saved me, at the moment the grenade exploded he just took my arm and yanked me out of the way, and took me in the warp with him.

"Hey Hawkeye!", he looked different than the night of the attack, just with his t-shirt and trousers, not his usual jacket, he looks more laid back than when fighting. He started to look preoccupied while I think how to escape, I'm not responding to him.

"Shit, no, did they do something while I was gone? Hey look at me, can you hear me? oh, these little shits are going to pay, I told them not to touch you" I just roll my eyes and say "What the fuck do you want from me you extra crispy fried ass?" he just stares at me confused for a couple of seconds and says "I'm not- Hey don't talk to me like that I'm your savior, remember? maybe I would let them do things to you, maybe I could take this food and let you starve".

He has a plate in a hand and glass with what appears to be fruit juice on the other. "Why would you feed me? do you know that keeps me alive, right? why didn't you kill me already?" I'm really confused, isn't better to kill someone while they're asleep, or this mother fucker want's to torture me. "That's because I don't want to kill you, dummy hero". Then why did he bring me here? what is the league planning to do to me? so I ask what the league wants from me.

"What makes you think there's a plan behind this?"

"Why else would a fucking villain kidnap a pro-hero if not to use them for something?"

"Well, there's nothing behind this, no one knows why I have you here actually I don't even know why I did it, but you were going to die and I just acted"- oh he should let me die, I'm gonna kick his pretty face when I get the chance.

"What do you want? you know it was going to be easier to kill me while I was unconscious, right?"

"Why do you keep telling me to kill you?"

"This is why"- there's a thing that not a lot of people know about my quirk, the bow, and the arrows are just a form I use it to be more precise, that doesn't mean that's the only thing it does.

With my both hands tied I conjured a little of my energy to make a knife to set me free, I break the cloth that keeps me hand-tied to the bed, throwing a punch at his face, he doesn't move I'm trying to get Dabi down but he is just there, he is not moving or trying to attack me at all, looking at me with sadness in his eyes.

"Hey what the fuck, why don't you attack me? aren't you afraid that I'm going to beat your ass?"- He looks like he is in pain but doesn't fight back.

"I know you could," he says with a sad smirk, what's happening here? by a couple of times, I saw him before he never acted this way.

"Can you please just calm down, let me talk, and I'll let you go if you want"

I intertwined my eyes with him, a beautiful blue, exactly the color of his flames, I don't know why, but I want to hear what he has to say, he looks so sad, but also a little surprised when I sit at the small bed. It looks like he never thought I actually would hear his reasons.

He kicks gently the plate with the food by the side and sits on the little makeshift bed, the bed is so small that we can't avoid our knees touching, he doesn't try to tie my hands again, I could conjure a big weapon, maybe just a simple bat and then scape, I know I can win, so why am I anxious to hear him? he looks at me a couple of seconds, lets out a loud breath, and starts talking.

"Well, when you attacked me, I caught one of your arrows right?" he looks at me and I nodded "Look" he shows me his left hand, inviting me to take his hand on mine.

It's rough, more than calloused, the years of him using his quirk took a lot out of his hands, they were burned, when I touched him I thought it would hurt, but he just opened his eyes a little more in surprise and looked at me again.

"Ok you have your hands burned, what about it? it's your quirk right?" he lets out a little smile that if I wasn't looking at him this close probably would have missed it. "Yeah they're burned, I don't have feeling on them, even if I take something with force or catch anything, can't feel it."

I'm starting to understand what's happening here, but I want him to tell me anyways "Yesterday, when you shot your arrow when I caught it I-"why does he look so nervous? "I felt it, I felt the pain of the arrow, and I felt you, well, your quirk, whatever it is, I just felt your touch"

What I am supposed to say about that?- "I'm sorry?" I say confused "No no it's okay I just want to know how you did it" I don't know why I have the desire to touch him again, I need to help him, he is a villain, a cute one if I say so myself but a villain nonetheless. A villain very dangerous that just wants the world to burn, but look so lost, with the same face you see on a lost child on a Mall

"I don't know, my quirk it's just based on energy, I don't know where it comes from, It just appears when I want to and takes the form I need, I used to lost control over it a lot," I say while moving my fingers letting the violet ribbons go around my hand "Now I can control it using it as weapons, the one that makes me feel more comfortable is the bow and arrow, that way I can control it a little more, but I pretty much can conjure anything" He nodded and looks at my hand.

I show him again, letting a little ball of my energy dance between my fingers and let it go, I made it stay in one of his hands, he started playing with it, like a child with a new toy that was waiting to get for Christmas day, a smile started to appear on his face, not a cruel one, that he usually used, this one was of happiness, he looks handsome, the scars on his face makes him feel unique. I'm not sure what I'm doing till I come back to my senses, I'm catching his face between my hands, he just looks at me surprised.

I run my thumbs right below his eyes, he leans into the touch and closes his blue eyes.

"You know that I can attack you now and escape right?" "I know, but you don't want to do that, I am right?"

He is, he is sure about it and I am too, but why? he probably has me here to lend information about heroes, but he isn't asking anything about it.

"No, I don't want to, why? did you get me drugged or something?" I say smiling at him for the first time "No, Toga tried to get a little bit of your blood but every time she wanted to get a needle into your skin, a purple energy, your energy, surrounded you, Shigaraki wanted to use real knives but I- I didn't let them hurt you, I didn't want them to hurt you".

And to end: this is the first chapter, it's gonna be probably 2 o 3 chapters, I'll probably add some warnings if needed.

Love

Gummy.

[night-unfurls-its-splendour]

A while back, after i saw The Batman (2022) for the third time, my sister and i decided to watch all the Batman movies we could get put our hands on, going backwards from The Dark Knight Rises. This means that, along with TDKR, i watched Batman Forever for the very first time with no idea what to expect, other than it had Jim Carrey in it.

and then I watched it two more times, which is frankly, probably a higher concentration of Jim Carrey than is likely healthy, but nevertheless....

I think I liked it.

I mean I feel personally attacked by Val Kilmer which is a very unexpected and recent discovery for me, but it's quite shocking the nuance with which he handles Bruce Wayne in what otherwise is a film that verges on spoof territory.

But still I felt so conflicted about the pros vs the cons, I decided, on my third watch, to actually do a pro/con analysis on a +5/-5 scale and add up the good and bad respectively with everything I love adding to the positive score and everything I hated adding to the negative.

These are my commentary and results

To start I judged the standard aspects of the Batman film (the cast and the visual interpretations of the standard accouterments: Batmobile, batsuit, batcave etc.)

- Val Kilmer as Bruce Wayne: +5

- Val Kilmer as Batman: +2 (I scored them differently because honestly the performance out of the suit is significantly better than that IN the suit. I feel like this is because Kilmer accepted the role without reading the script. With the way Bruce was written as a character I think he knew what he was doing, but as far as Batsy was concerned I think he was in way over his head and was given way more dumbass one-liners than he bargained for. That's not his fault, but that doesn't make the performance more comfortable)

- Jim Carrey as Edward Nygma/The Riddler: +2

- Tommy Lee Jones as "Two-Face" Harvey Dent: -3 (on his own, he probably would have gotten only a -1 because i don't really care for the performance but it wasn't bad on its own; but I docked two extra points because Joel Shumacher and WB fucked-over Billy Dee Williams and we don't forgive that shit in this house)

- Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth: +5 (guys, he might be my favorite Alfred)

- Nicole Kidman as Dr. Chase Meridian: -3 (this is a low score and that's not only because her characterization is NIGHTMARISHLY over-sexualized, but also because I know she was supposed to play Ivy originally and I feel robbed)

- Chris O'Donnell as Dick Grayson/Robin: +4 (unexpectedly delightful and super super cute.)

- Gotham Cityscape: -4 (CGI Green screen hell. Like sweet mother of Jefferson Davis this is bad)

- Wayne Manor: +3

- The Batcave: +2

- The Batmobile: -3 (Worst one ever. This can rot in hell, I was glad when Nygma blew it up)

- The Batsuit (Main/ With Nipples): +3

- The Batsuit (Finale/ Without Nipples) +3 (note that both batsuits got the same positive score. The nipples were not that big a deal for me ~shrug~)

- Score: -2 (ugh unremarkable. Next.)

And then I watched the movie through, tallying up the misc. Aspects more specific to THIS movie.

Zingers, Mingers  and various other details

- Alfred: "Can I persuade you to take a sandwich with you, Sir?" | Bruce: "I'll get drive-thru." : -4 (horrifically tacky, terrible way to start the movie, but not the most irredeemable thing in it.)

- Chase Meridian: "Hot entrance." : -3 (clunky and spoofish. This is her reaction to Batman entering the scene and this tells you pretty much all you need to know about this horny, horny character)

- Lifting a bank vault door with one hand: -4 (even in a movie this crazy I will not suspend my disbelief that far)

- is that a giant baphomet statue in the middle of Gotham. Why?: -3

- Batman: "are you trying to get under my cape, doctor?" | Chase: "A girl can't live by psychoses alone."| Batman: "It's the car, right? Chicks love the car.": -5 (and reallyJust this whole scene. It's all bad. This scene, wherein Dr. Chase Meridian lights up the Bat Signal SOLELY to put the moves on Batman, does not need to exist. There is no plot furtherance in this scene it is just an exchange of really really cringey pick-up lines by Chase being rebuffed with equally awful one-liners by Batman. It has already been established in her introductory scene that this CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST is OBTRUSIVELY sexually obsessed with Batman, KNOWS IT and is not at all interested in examining that. We don't need this.)

- Jim Carrey's line delivery on "which one? This?!" +4

- Jim Carrey (TM) jabbering and everything else in this sequence - 4 it gets old really fast

- "surfs up, big kahuna" -3 (*sigh* this is such a boilerplate mid-90's line I'm detracting points solely for its boilerplate-ness)

- exposition news report explaining How Harvey Dent became Two-Face: necessary but bad: -2

- Bruce in a bathrobe +3 (I don't believe explanation is needed)

- Nygma's witness to the police: -2 (Cut this down after he hands over the "suicide" note and it should have been fine. Just reign it in a little.)

- "Suicide's not covered by our insurance policy." | "I know. Full benefits." : +3 expected but touching show of Bruce's benevolence; first of many affecting character moments

- "Bad Days" - the Flaming Lips: effective but annoying -1

- Black jag, black turtleneck, yes please +5

- "I have an appointment; Bruce Wayne." | "Good. You can afford to buy me a new door." +5

"in my professional opinion, this guy is a total wacko. | "Wacko. Is that a technical term?" We all thought it Bruce just said it. No points I just wanted to point this out

- the rest of this scene. Bruce stammering with chase and staring at her... neck? Lips? Like the repressed, touch-starved catholic he is. It's crazy how good the writing and tone in this scene is compared to the schlock fest on the roof with Batman. +4. I left a point off for the "I really have to get you out of those clothes" line at the end. It just ruined a perfectly good scene

- the Graysons' heroism and sacrifice and its effects on bruce and dick: +4 very effectively conveyed

- the motorcycle scene with Bruce and Dick: +5 dig everything about it

- flashback to the night Bruce's parents were killed and overall approach of Bruce's trauma: +3 there are some mis-steps but at least they approach it.

- scene where Alfred is helping dick get settled into his room and Alfred won't throw away his Robin costume? +5 so great, guys they both play this to the hilt, its so touching and I love Alfred.

- winching the Batmobile up the side of a building. Far fetched, but I like it +1

- dinner with sugar and spice -2 too rich for my blood

- earns that back with a +3 for Riddler's entrance at two-face's hideout / "O segregated one / very few people are both a summer and a winter, but you pull it off nicely"

-laundry scene with Dick and Alfred -4. Bad just bad and tacky. I know it's a reference to another movie, but that's no excuse for it existing. Still not the worst thing in the movie though

- more black turtleneck Bruce, that's at least a +3

- Robin: "How come this is the only locked door in this museum? What you got back there? | Alfred: Master Wayne's dead wives... The silver closet. Off with you." +4

- Riddler's smoking jacket +3 it's pretty great

- how did time magazine get that headshot of Batman? No addition or reduction just curious

- (Robin joyriding in the Batmobile) "goin for a ride in my love machine, baby!": -5 close, but STILL not the worst thing in the movie

- white t-shirt Bruce: only +2 because the towel obstructs the view

- line delivery: "Chase Meridian" "and what a grand pursuit you must be." Smooth af. Did not know Jim Carrey could be that charming. +4

- Nygma putting on glasses that match Bruce's glasses +2

- "o bifurcated one" lacks punch after "o segregated one". +1

- "your entrance was good, his was better." +2 Tight line, classic and snappy

-  kissing chase in the middle of a situation? Unprofessional -3

-hands on hips stance, great for the 60's crowd I'm sure but no thank you not for me -3

- shirtless Bruce +4

- yet more turtleneck Bruce +3

- kissing someone is not the appropriate response their sharing their trauma with you -5 gross

- JOYGASM! -10 THAT is the worst thing in the movie

- BLACK t-shirt bruce +5

- these riddles are really rather good +3

- tushy shot.... net zero I don't know how to feel about this.

- netting the scuba goons +3 that's a good piece of water action Thunderball is very jealous.

- "you're a man after our own heart, son. I'll see you in hell." | "I'd rather see you in jail!" Great line would work in any Batman movie, +5

- Rene Auberjenois in a bit part! +3 because we love him, rest in peace

Final scores

Pros: 120 points

Cons: 78

To be frank, I was astonished when I looked at these totals, and yes I'm sure the score would be a little more even if I hadn't been so generous in doling out points every time I found Val Kilmer particularly attractive, but then that would be severely understating how attractive I find Val Kilmer in this movie so I thought it was important to include.

Yes all of them.

~HEADCANON MAYBE…?

This has been on my mind ever since I read the backstory of y/n's quirk in the PA series. I have this headcanon I guess, where she graduated high school early {at 16} and finished college early too {at 20} she's now 22 {meaning the bakusquad is slightly older 24-25 I reckon}.. Her age is significant because of her bullying, I think the bullying didn't just stem from her quirk but her also being younger and SHORTER {4’11} they saw her as weak...this is why she didn't even dream of being a pro-hero. I know this is pretty random but I thought I’d share. Ohh, also when y/n was younger she got into UA but never went. {she got in on recommendations} Even now, y/n’s super smart and very capable of being a pro.

-pstttt....imagine the hugs y/n would get with her soulmates being sm taller than her so cute!-

~IDEA

Makes sense for the squad to know y/n's age but I imagine they almost forget because of how mature she is. Plus her age doesn't really effect the way they treats her........One day they may come across some of y/n's documents that reveal she got into UA the same year as the rest of the squad, but she was obviously younger than them. This may or may not fit into your writing since last chapter they showed slight interest in y/n's talents {hero stuff..}.

~EXTRA

We know y/n is quite attractive so I'd only assume people flirty with her all the time and I think it makes the squad pretty uncomfortable even though she's not officially theirs yet. Like imagine another pro-hero seeing her at one of the events and openly being flirtatious with her around them...not good!

~LAST BUT NOT LEAST

How are Dollie? Have you drank enough water today? If not here's your friendly reminder to do so :D! Also I must ask what got you interested in writing?

pheww so sorry that's sm!

{if you like this idea feel free to use it entirely <3}

~Sincerely the "P.A series fanatic anon!"

goodness...you won't believe-

i just love how the series is becoming everyone's it's so wholesome 🥺💕 i just imagine you dolls daydreaming about all these scenarios and it's so cute - you're all such cuties but you all better stop before things get dangerous okie?!

y/n is just too smart and talented, she knew she was better than what those bullies we're trying to bring her down for so she worked hard and look at where that got her? from that experience, she really got to understand the value of hard work and, although, that got her through a lot of hardships in life, she's fallen into a workaholic trap and it's up to the bakusquad to ease her out of it gradually and with all the love and patience in the world. they won't be perfect but it's the thought and their efforts that count most.

just to add onto your scenario there, the hugs: y/n won't feel very comfortable at first but over time, the more the consistently hug her, the more she begins to enjoy it but only from them lol XD as a result, whenever others would get flirty with her in front of the squad, she'd be really oblivious bc she isn't familiar with such cues, this makes whoever is flirting with her get touchy and the instant that happens, she turns cold and shuts them down right away. the squad figure out that they're the only ones that can get that close and touchy with her and it makes them so happy (and smug) you won't believe! it comes to a point where they actually begin to hold back laughter whenever they see y/n get hit on - they know she can handle herself so they just let her do what she does best XD

honestly, you dolls are a fountain of fantasies and i love it, i don't know why my requests are always closed but as soon as i get my life sorted and get the time for myself, i'll let you beautiful people work my imagination however much you lovelies want <3

I saw the 9 member female KPop group TWICE on Sunday! My first KPop concert ever and it did NOT disappoint! Nayeon, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Jeongyeon, Momo & Tzuyu were non-stop entertainment. I took my friend Alexandra to accompany. I bought tix way late so they weren't the best but still quite expensive. 2nd tier but in the first row. So no one in front of us, but quite a bit to the left side. Luckily, we had a big screen by us and the ladies turned to the side often to perform/greet our side. I know UBS Arena in Long Island is new so maybe they didn't have the set up for extra and/or bigger screens...but they were sorely lacking. 3 total. One on each side and one in the middle. I've seen other concerts of theirs online (most likely in bigger arenas) w/ multiple screens and bigger ones at that. But a minor thing. We were told the concert was 3 hours total. I assumed there might be a break like in a Broadway show. NO SIRREE! These ladies sang (yes they often sang ALONG to to their own tracks but def genuinely sung just as much) and danced their asses off. There was NO break and they ended up going for 3 1/2 hrs! Some moments were spent just chatting to the audience. None are fluent in English so there was a translator offstage. Many did try speaking phrases in English and it was so cute. Being a KPop fan and watcher of a lot of South Korean TV, film, talk shows, variety shows, etc...I def pick up words here and there. I'll be fluent in no time! :) Many of them were also very funny during these chats. Dahyun is naturally a goof and played w/ the audience a lot. Some touching moments with Jeongyeon when she chatted. As fans like me (their fandom is called ONCE) know, she had been out for awhile with both injuries and a mental health break. She skipped the concerts in South Korea but wanted to do the states. They played 5 cities over here. Fancams are a big thing so I had seen footage from the previous shows (this was their last US show) and Jeongyeon visibly struggled in some places and seemed to stand back on some other numbers. Not sure if she sat any out completely but wouldn't be mad at her or blame her. So her emotional speech and the support of all of us ONCE screaming her name had her tear up for a bit. She was so grateful to be able to perform though. She did GREAT and never seemed to flag until right near the very end at the encore where she had that look like "okay, let's finish this up". Not in a bad way but she was just exhausted. Heck they all probably were. They were all great in their own right but like any group, some just have better stage presence. The leader and main vocalist Jihyo was mesmerizing to watch. While my "biases" are Sana and Nayeon, I've always loved Jihyo too. Good singer and even though they joke she always picks up the dances last, she's a great dancer. She has the best facial expressions too. Within 10 minutes, Alex was like "I love her!". She was amazing and so full of energy even during the encore where they were playing around and didn't have to dance as much. But she sure did! I did catch her right near the end of the encore sticking her tongue out w/ a playful pant like "whew!". So cute. You deserve a rest, boo! You killed it! The music is infectious and the choreography is super fun. KPop groups are PROS when it comes to crowdplay and really rely on and involve the audience. Always praising us and including us to sing along/do fan chants/etc. Production values are high w/ great costumes, pyrotechnics, etc. So well done! Alex and I found something super cute which I've noticed before but just not to the extent. Whether in English or Korean when they chatted, EVERY one of them would say in some form "So did you like it, Once? Are you having fun?" We were like damn these ladies need some validation! ;) It's prob just something drilled into them by their company as all KPop groups seem to do that a lot. Something that will make the audience scream in approval. It reminded me of myself as I always asked "MAMA AM I PRETTY AM I HUH HUH". :P

The aforementioned encore was so fun. They bring out this spinning wheel with like 20 songs on it. Some they spin for real and sing whatever pops up. Others they sort of cheated to sing a certain song if the crowd seemed to lean towards one or they wanted it. I think they went over their usual encore time. At one point, they asked the crowd to vote between 2 songs that the wheel hit in a row and Nayeon just goes "We'll do both!" Ha! We loved it of course. Kudos to the women and their team and staff. They make it worth your while not just w/ the length but with the genuine positive and fun atmosphere. And yes, I saw people of all ages there enjoying and singing along. So there! :) Next time they make it over here, go see them. Lots of fancams on YT so def check out the concert. You'll love it! #Twice #Once #OneInAMillion #TwiceConcert
