Sukuna x reader idea where it’s back in the Heian era or wtvr and Sukuna kidnaps the reader who has no cursed energy or experience in fighting but they are determined to kill him.
He’s ordering them to bow and they don’t, instead getting into a fighting stance and lunging at Sukuna, only for him to grab the collar of their clothes and hold them away from him as they thrash around like a feral rabid animal trying to kill him. They somehow slip away and manage to get hurt so much that the servants have to tend to them and by the time they’re patched up they immediately try to escape and it’s just a bunch of chaos and shenanigans
Sukuna doesn’t want to kill them because he wants them as a concubine or they’re from a famous clan or he just admires their spunk and fight idk lmao
But it’s like slow SLOWWW burn enemies to lovers, full of crack type beat

This is a mixture of shower thoughts fic and lying in bed after taking a sleep aid fic, so is it good? who knows. but apparently ao3 is down so enjoy! lol
Warning: not proofread at all.
the band has been working diligently to make a name for themselves and while they have a decent following, they’ve all had to take day jobs
on one of the days they are all working, julie almost misses a call form a record label that recently saw them perform and would like to sign them on
she says she is excited by their offer but would need to speak to the rest of the band first, to which they are understanding and even offer to email a pdf of the first draft of the contract to them to review and they can set up a time to meet if things look satisfactory
she rattles off the band email before ending the call and texts the band group chat before heading back to work after her break
“a label wants to sign us! contract in band email. can’t wait to go over it with you guys! <3 <3″
she feels her phone buzz with an incoming response as she’s walking back to the front of the store she works at and quickly checks it.
L- yes! rock n roll hall of fame, here we come!
as she is reading that, another texts arrives and she laughs at Luke’s impatience
L- emails not there yet :(
back at the front, the afternoon rush hits and julie doesn’t have time to check her phone, but she’s felt it go off several times in her work apron and, while she’s never hated the customer service industry, she absolutely cannot keep a giant smile off her face the whole rest of her shift
so she’s a bit blindsided when she finally gets to check her phone again as she grabs her things from her work locker and the first message she sees is
L- I’m not signing this.
it must be a real bad deal then. her heart sinks as she continues reading
A- ?
R- oooo bad money deal?
L- money is fine.
L- not a good fit for the band
A- how do you mean?
luke didn’t respond and the next message comes 20 minutes later
A- F that. i’m not signing either
R- guys. what is going on?
R- oh
R- okay, yeah no
by now Julie’s anxiety is starting to climb because how could it not be a good fit? this label is known for signing bands in the pop-punk genre. What on earth would make the guys turn this opportunity down? an opportunity they have worked blood, sweat, tears and years to get. How could they dismiss it so easily?
she needs some time to think (but does she really? it’s the anxiety talking) so instead of responding, she pulls her bag strap over her shoulder and begins walking towards the exit, tying her hair up in a real messy bun to keep herself from picking at her fingernails
The clouds in the sky are pinkish purple against the darkening sky as the sun is low enough to be blocked by the surrounding buildings. heat still emits off the parking lot pavement, alluding to the Hot summer days thar have fallen upon the city.
Julie takes a deep breath before heading to the employee parking
Luke is leaning against the back of her car
"Luke? What are you doing here? Is everyone okay?!"
"Yea, Boss. Everyone's fine," he reassures her before pulling her into a hug. "I just wanted to see that million dollar smile."
Julie can't help but smile
She holds him tighter as her thoughts quickly jump back to the contract. She questions him about the group chat. How could they possibly all be saying no?
His arms tense around her, before letting her pull back to look at his face. He reveals that the contract actually starts off pretty decent. The label just had one stipulation that was a deal-breaker.
What? What could possibly be a deal-breaker when the rest is that good?
"If we sign it, they'd be able to force the band to undergo cosmetic dentistry."
"Oh." Her stomach drops. She wants to look away from the boy she's described as having the perfect smile. Alex and Reggie are basically right there with him. She forces her hands to stay put, but they scream to cover her mouth, her face. Her eyes drift down and stop on his Adam's apple. This is about her.
One of his hands gently cups the side of her face, tilting it so she is looking up at him again. His eyes are sad.
She can't stand it. She can feel tears welling in her eyes "I- I could do it."
He's shaking his head vehemently before she can finish. "No, Jules! You are perfect and beautiful just as you are. If they can't see it, then they aren't the label for us."
"But-"
His other hand moves up to cup her face in his hands.
"Be who you are, don't compromise, julie. Fuck them."
Julie is overwhelmed in that moment. Tears break free of her lashes, but a laugh rings out as she pulls his face to hers.
His lips ground her and she cant believe how lucky she is to have such a supportive boyfriend. She pulls back and remembers the others immediate refusal to sign as well. She couldn't ask for a better band and family. She thanks her mom for the millionth time for bring them to her.
She sniffles from the tears but a smile is back on her face as she teases him. "Did you quote our own song at me just now? What a dork."
He's grinning back. "Well, the gal who wrote that line is pretty smart."
He pulls her to the passenger door "let's go home"

Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Green Ranger
The Power Rangers refuse to accept that killing her is the only way to free Tommy from Rita’s control, determined to find a way to end RIta without risking their friend.
One by one, over several battles with the Dark Green Ranger, the team are able to summon their Dino Zords, all inspired by a comment made by Billy when they first found the Power Coins. Once all five are summoned, they make a last stand, taking down Rita’s Dark Dragonzord with their newly formed Megazord, the Rangers fight on the ground, urging Tommy to fight her, don’t let her win!
Zack cries out, holding her back from the rest of the team, “Tommy! Don’t let her decide who you are! You decide that!”
Jason on her other side adds on, “You’re one of the strongest people I know! Fight her!”
Trini supports, disarming the Dragon Saber from Rita’s grip, “You have to be brave for us! For yourself!”
Billy, staff of the Power Lance pinning the Dark Green Ranger to his stronger teammates, “We’re not giving up on you! It doesn’t make sense for you too either!”
Kimberly rushes into Tommy with all her strength, wrapping her arms around her so tight that no power in the known universe could break her grip, face pressed into Tommy’s chest, “Please, you have to come back to us! You have to come back to me!”
From then on, Tommy officially joins the team as the Green Power Ranger.

>> "Tell me where the fuchsia is or die."
>> Your breath catches in your throat. You don't want to die. Not yet, not like this. You want a long happy life with Dantli and Corali. You want to watch Varoll grow up into a great adult.
>> But You have to keep Varoll safe. She's only a child. She doesn't deserve to be traumatized and afraid like you are now. Her childhood should be a time of joy and learning and growth. Her childhood shouldn't be painful.
>> You start sobbing pitifully and loudly. Through your cries and hiccups, you manage to choke out a response.
...then kill me...
>> You don't want to die, but you don't have a choice. Varoll has to stay safe, and your murder is the only thing that will do that. You only hope that it will be quick and painless.
^ A thing that came to me in a dream

Sorry some cockwomble shared spoilers - that's sucks 🙁. As a distraction, help me estimate how much product some poor stylist had to put in Ben's hair on BR to ensure it was as immobile and immaculately coiffed as it is in those gifs. Imagine having to tame that glorious mop!
omg I'm not even in the Good Omens fandom (much like Ted Lasso, I just wanted to watch the show without any expectations or knowledge of what happens), but holy moly I am annoyed about people who don't tag shit!!! I'm used to tagging vague trailers as common courtesy ffs. This is a no brainer to me. Think what you like about Neil Gaiman and Prime, but I think sharing untagged memes about it is so mean to fans who don't want their favourite show spoiled.
Anyway sorry to use your ask as a soapbox, Bishy! To answer your question, I imagine there was a lot of hairspray and possibly some mousse or something involved, but since I am crap at styling my own hair, I would not know.
But one thing is for certain. As Aunt Sarah from Derry Girls would say, it is a cracker blow dry!

@gareththegreat : headbutts danny's arm for attention
He peeks the shape of Gareth moving in with his peripherals and instinctively leans away to accomodate and make room for.. whatever he's trying to do. It's apparently the wrong move. The change absolutely bungles headbutt momentum. He's forced to watch, in utter bafflement, as Gareth's forehead connects with his bicep in slower motion than it was supposed to.
"I- ....ʷʰᵃᵗ."
He raises a hand to.. pet him? Is this supposed to be a hug? The appendage hangs in the air above Gareth cautiously, like one would regard an ambiguously mannered dog, while he tries to decipher intent and suitable reaction. One never knows, with the other man. Face the pinnacle of solemn prudence, Daniel buries his fingers in Gareth's curls, tentative and unsure. It warrants another pause.
"...You have leaves in your hair."
