latina exchange student reader who is going to stay on the huh family house bc one of their daughters entered the programs like you, that’s when you meet yunjin, you both were getting along very well even teaching her some phrases in spanish, truth is yunjin behind that playful and good girl facade hide a pervert girl who fingered herself at the thought of you at night
one day both of you were alone she went to your room to ask you about some phrases in spanish, some were basic and stuff you already told her until you have her face close to yours and ask you “how can i say i want you to fuck me?” you were in shock and didn’t knew how to react, yunjin acted fast in matter of second you both were naked, she was eating your pussy and asked you to keep talking to her in spanish bc it turned her on, you were starting to get more heated by the pleasure, yunjin KNEW how to please a woman, when you were fingering her, hard, she could’ve squirt at just hearing your dirty talk in your mother tongue, good thing her parents won’t be home anytime soon so you both can go on for a few more hours
cw: cunnilingus, fingering.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yunjin’s parents letting you live at their house during your stay in america because you and yunjin immediately connected during the first day of school; she being super nice and friendly to you, listening carefully when you talk and tell things about yourself to the teacher asking you to introduce yourself to the class, even calling you when you go to your seat because she wants you to sit at the desk next to her because you’re super cool according to her words and she wants to be your friend because she is interested in you and wants to know more about your life. simply put, she wants to fuck you
and yunjin, knowing about your native language, offers you a deal to help you polish your english and become a total expert in the language like her, on the condition that you teach her your own language. at first, she seems a bit idiotic because you don’t understand why she would want to learn spanish, and it would be a total pain to teach her the language because she didn’t even have any basic knowledge to use as a base and you would have to teach her absolutely everything… but knowing that you needed private english lessons because you were somewhat unsure about your pronunciation and speaking in the language, you were forced to accept the opportunity because yunjin is the best speaker of the language you could meet
at one point yunjin asks you if she can please record the “classes” you give her because she would like to be able to study and practice in private during the times when she doesn't see you because you’re away from home due to your classes or because you are simply doing something more common like going out with your friends, accepting without knowing that she spends every night burying her fingers deep inside her pussy with the simple sound of your voice 🥺 She couldn't help it, there was something about you and your way of speaking that made her wet her panties the moment you got serious and started explaining to her, pretending to listen to you when in her mind she was counting the seconds until the three hours in a row where you sit and explain to her end and she can run away to her room to touch herself until she almost faints
during a particular class, yunjin had a “question,” saying that you wanted to know exactly how to say something; you didn’t find it strange, sell, yunjin would ask you stupid questions about how to name and pronounce a word in spanish at least three times an hour
“how can i say ‘i want you to fuck me’?”
it left you speechless! but not too much because after five seconds of silence between the two of you, you threw yourself at yunjin to kiss her, taking her face in your hands and bringing her face closer to yours as she brought her hands to your hips to guide you onto her lap
mind foggy enough that you had to overthink how to get the words out because yunjin’ss tongue in your pussy was making you see stars and your head was spinning too much to remember how to speak english properly 😵‍💫 yunjin knowing that you were having a hard time trying to use your brain cells and remember how to communicate properly with her, but she would say, “you can speak spanish if you need to. it doesn’t bother me, on the contrary, i think it’s hot.” and she would plant a kiss on your clit that makes you squeal immediately
yunjin whimpering and using all her strength not to cum while you’re fingering her the way she likes it and simultaneously talking dirty to her as if she were a dirty whore… tell her things like “puta de mierda” were more than enough to make her wetter and seem more sensitive because she was enjoying being treated roughly and be called out for her behavior
and from there all the study sessions turn into the two of you fucking and degrading each other in every way possible, the ideal ☺️

You speak another language
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Ot8!skz × Gn!Reader
Genre: fluff, reaction
Warnings: mention of food at Lee Know and Felix's, I think that's it?
Request: how do you think ot8 would react to the reader speaking in their native language? Especially if it's not korean/english?
A/n: It's embarrassing the amount of time I took to write this one💀 the worst part is that I actually spent every week tryna find the best way of putting all my ideas together. Hope you like it anyways!
Tumblr media
Bang Chan
‌Would have a pet name for you in your mother tongue
‌ Like idk if you speak spanish his nickname for you would be "mi amor"
‌Finds it really attractive btw
‌When you're speaking your mother tongue he sees just how much comfortable you are
‌You literally shine in his eyes
‌He'd just be staring at you with heart eyes
‌And if you're learning Korean or English he'd be more than glad to help you overcome your difficulties with the language
‌Would be your personal professor fr
‌Speaks slower around you so you can understand everything, and wouldn't mind repeating himself at all
‌He knows that the language barrier can be a bit intimidating and that it can make you afraid of opening up completely
‌But he'd be so reassuring all the time
‌Really tries his best to comfort you when you need it and it doesn't matter the language, he makes is clear that he loves and will be with you all the time
Lee Know
‌If you had a hard time speaking Korean but still tried your best to communicate with him and his parents in Korean, he'd fall DEEP in love with you
‌He gives me major "I don't understand but I love you" vibes ngl
‌lmao he'd learn the bad words before anything else
‌If you're speaking your mother tongue when in the phone he'd try to guess what you're saying
‌Genuinely doesn't know what's going but he's invested
‌And he repeats some words after you say it
‌Not in a mocking way, he just finds it cool how the word sounds and keep repeating it to himself
‌Like if you speak french he'd be like "bonjour. Bonjour? Bonjour"
‌It's endearing
‌But yeah you'll have to translate everything to him later
‌He wants to know about the tea
‌Cooks your hometown dishes for you!!
Changbin
‌ If you have a foreign accent when speaking Korean or English he finds it adorable
‌ And he also finds your mother tongue adorable
‌ It doesn't matter if you speak one of the sexiest languages in the world
‌ This man finds it adorable
‌Eventually learns your language
‌He'll take classes, buy text books and everything
‌He truly believe that learning how to communicate with you (in every language for that matter) is like a "boyfriend duty"
‌So he'll be more than happy to learn
‌Tries to show his affection in ways that are not spoken as well so you both could surpass the language barrier
‌He'll get you flowers, gifts, would take you to amazing places, would have the best dates with you and everything you can ever think of
‌You'd have the best memories ever with him and no word would need to be said
Hyunjin
‌ Would ask you to teach him some pet names and sweet phrases in your language
‌ And would 100% say "I love you" in your mother tongue in certain moments
‌ Like in more intimate moments that he wants you to truly understand how much he loves you
‌ Would love if you replied with saying "I love you" in Korean
‌If you have a different accent than him when speaking Korean/English he might start speaking like you
‌yk when you get someone's accent just by living next to them
‌That's him
‌He finds it fancy
‌And when the boys tease him for this he might get shy but he's also so proud? Like "yeah I got it from my s/o :D"
‌Writes a letter to you once he finds confidence in speaking your language. It might have some mistakes here and there but it was so sweet, and the intention behind it was so lovely, that you couldn't help but tear up a bit when you read it for the first time
Han
‌Loves your culture so much
‌He'd ask you to show songs and movies and things like that in your language
‌Like if you're Indian he'd ask you to show him some Bollywood movies
‌He'd try to guess what they are saying and it's a whole game for him
‌He's there for the vibes honestly
‌But I think he'd end up learning a thing or two and later would like to learn the whole thing
‌Would incorporate your mother tongue in his songwriting I'm 100% sure
‌And!! would ask for songs recommendations so he could sing to you when you least expect it
‌Learns two words in your mother tongue, probably uses them in the wrong way, thinks he is fluent.
‌But he also knows a lot of slangs in your language, it's kinda surprising ngl
‌He'd occasionally drop a random slang in your language when talking to the kids and everyone would be like ???
‌"what did you say?"
Felix
‌ Learns your language to surprise you
‌ Like every time there is a break when he's practicing he'd open duolingo
‌(He'd have a hella long strike, 100 days in a row or smth)
‌When you're speaking on the phone with someone he tries to listen to it as a listening exercise
‌Is smiling to himself throughout the period of the call and when you ask the reason why he just brushes it off
‌Cooks your hometown dishes for you pt. 2!!
‌But seriously tho
‌He knows it's hard to be far from home, especially by yourself
‌So he really tries to make you feel at home
‌He will cook your nationals dishes, will sing songs in your language, will encourage you to speak in your mother tongue around him etc
‌:(
‌Also, 2 kids 1 room flashback
‌He likes to have meaningful conversations with you where he tells you how much he loves and appreciates you
‌Unlike Hyunjin, he'd say everything in English because it feels more genuine for him, as it's his first language
‌So if you're replying to him in your language, he'd feel SO happy
‌He thinks this is like a proof that everything you're saying comes from a deep place somehow. It makes him fall in love once again
Seungmin
‌ Wants to learn your language the moment you guys get in a serious relationship
‌ Besides wanting to be able to talk to you in your own comfort zone
‌He'd want to be able to talk to your friends and family who speaks your mother tongue
‌ Like the first time he sees your parents he'd be ready to talk to them
‌i'm so down bad for this man it's not even funny anymore
‌anyways
‌Would take you everywhere in Korea so he could show you a bit of his home (would tell stories about the places so excitedly)
‌And would love if he had the opportunity to go to your country
‌Would love it even more if you showed the place around to him and explained a bit about everything you know
‌If in the first stages of the relationship there is a language barrier, he'd plan dates that don't involve a lot of talking
‌Like he'd take you to concerts and karaokes
‌music is universal after all isn't it?
‌He always give his 100% into the relationship it's so cute
I.N
‌ Finds it really attractive pt2
‌ He loves your accent
‌ And he loves your mother tongue as well
‌ He could spend a whole day just listening to you speak, even if he doesn't understand a single word
‌ And if you're learning Korean, he'd love to see your progress and to see you getting more comfortable while speaking it
‌ I also see two possible scenarios:
‌ One, he'd wake up one day really determined to learn your language and wouldn't stop until he does
‌ Two, he'd never stop and actually learn it, but he'd end up catching up with some things you say and show to him. So in the end he'd know the basics and some essential phrases
‌I believe he'd genuinely enjoy to learn about your culture
‌Like, whenever a cultural shock comes up, he'd be invested in understanding it?
‌Of course sometimes there would be misunderstandings, but I truly think he would try to see the positive view rather than seeing only the cultural crash
‌He might even learn a thing or two and get your culture's habits
Tumblr media
Feedback is very much appreciated!!

reading more about waterdeep and waterdhavians explains so much about gale:
class & station
Instead of the fragmenting and distinct splits based on income or birth, Waterdeep has nullified such differences almost entirely. "Social level" and "class" are far less important in Waterdeep than in other cities of the Realms (and elsewhere) any prejudices against folk due to race, creed, or coin are brought in by visitors from outside the walls, and are not tolerated to a large extent. The crossroads nature of the city and the up-and-down fortunes of those who make their living in trade keeps the inhabitants of the city tolerant of a wide variety of peoples, with widely varying customs, religions, and incomes. [...] In Waterdeep, low birth or station is not a recipe for rudeness from one's betters, beyond what one's actions would earn from one's equals in any case—if you are ridiculed in Waterdeep, you brought such treatment upon yourself!
character & temperament
"Live and let live" best describes most Waterdhavians' attitudes; everyone is far too busy in the pursuit of wealth and happiness. [...] The cosmopolitan nature of the City of Splendors makes its natives very tolerant. They tend to be talkative, friendly, easygoing, and outspoken, but do not expect others to be. [...] Natives of the City of Splendors are notoriously slow to take offense. A Waterdhavian will plainly state his or her feelings as a warning before showing anger. One is more apt to hear "I don't find that amusing, friend," said pleasantly to a stranger before an angry voice is raised. Some visitors misinterpret such behavior as cowardice or ignorance ("he was too stupid to know I insulted him!"); if they act on such misjudgments, however, surprise and regret are the usual results. 
other races
Most Waterdhavians are slow to take fright unless facing magic or monsters. Beings of almost all races may be seen in the city, too. A typical Waterdhavian would react with hostility and fear only to a drow, an illithid, nonhuman natives of the Lower Planes, and, of course, "monsters" such as beholders and dragons; with all others, it's generally "business as usual." [...]
smalltalk
Waterdhavians do not discuss the weather, unless in a profession governed by it like farmers or sailors. Small talk and idle chatter normally centers on matters of commerce, and secondarily on warfare elsewhere in the Realms. Waterdhavians take a sporting interest in such happenings as the constant minor strife in the South, the recurring unrest and bloodshed in Tethyr, and traditional and long standing shipping discord between Ruathym and Luskan. [...]

Afraid of Falling in Love
Short drabble before class
You cared about Jing Yuan more than you liked to admit. The two of you had known each other for a while, you getting to meet the esteemed figure after the fall out of the High Cloud Quintet. You'd been friends for hundreds of years, and for the last hundred or so you've been struggling to keep the relationship together.
You never would've expected it to be so difficult so be friends with someone you loved romantically.
You'd always been afraid of getting close to people, even now Jing Yuan was one of your two friends. You'd been alive hundreds of years and experienced countless betrayals that came with some problems. It wasn't anything big but all of the small things piled up.
You looked at Jing Yuan warily but he remained calm, his catlike smile ever present on his face, laying there lazily. You couldn't understand why he would trust outsiders with such an important task. He should've sent someone like you to go capture Kafka, what if these people were secretly working with Kafka? What if someone on the Xianzhou was working with Kafka?
What if... Jing Yuan himself was working with Kafka? Your heart dropped, quivering fearfully in its cage. He'd sent the outsiders knowing they would fail-- no, no that didn't make any sense.
"Something wrong?" His deep voice pulled you out your thoughts, easing your nerves. It was a wonderful voice, one you could listen to all day, you had to wonder what other noises it could make. How would his-- no, bad thoughts.
You trusted Jing Yuan sure, but... he was a native resident of the Xianzhou he'd eventually succumb to mara, and so would you. How could either of you trust the other?
One day one of you would be replaced by a monstrous creature, one that may threaten to kill not only citizens but the person you hold dearest. One day it would all be over. To love someone is to allow them to hold your vulnerable heart in threatening hands and trust that they won't do anything. It is to know neither of you will ever hurt the other.
It hurts most to be hurt by those you love, even if they're no longer themselves.
"Y/N?" The voice chimed again, and you blinked looking over to Jing Yuan across the chess board, "Are you upset with me?" His eyes looked at you with so much love you wanted to run away.
You moved the chariot piece in an attempt to corner him, "No, I trust in your judgement." He ignored your move, continuing to gaze into your eyes, causing you to shift a bit of anxiety welling up in your heart.
Jing Yuan reached across the board, resting his hand on yours, "But are you upset with me?"
You frowned, looking down at his warm hand feeling the callouses on it, "How could I ever be upset with you?"
"You're upset with yourself then," He concluded, removing his hand, and standing up with ease, walking over to you, his feet hitting the wooden floor.
You looked up at him quizzically, eyes drifting down to the hand he offered you. "Not really," You took his hand, feeling your heart speed up. You felt nauseated at being so close to him. It wasn't a particularly bad feeling though. But you felt sick.
Jing Yuan helped you up and then smiled at you, moving too fast for you to react and placing his lips on your cheek. "Be kind to yourself. Be happy for what we have now."
Sure, the two of you weren't in a relationship. You were pretty sure he was just waiting for you but... one day he won't be him, and you'll be forced to see him become what you've been taught to despise the most. But wouldn't it be best to enjoy his company while you still can?
You can't stop yourself from being in love, no matter how afraid of it you are.
Love is love, that's all.
am slightly sick so missed class today, which included a quiz, emailed teacher about it
teacher is like sorry we don't do makeup work
i'll keep that in mind if ur ever late on a grade i don't accept late grades and if you're ever too sick to teach class i'm not doing the work for that day unless if we do it another day in class.
it's very tilting considering in the past when i was in highschool we had a perfect attendance award (key word had) until some kid threw up 5x in one day while in school. bro refused to go home bcus he wanted the award.
don't incentivize students to come to class sick.

Sea Monster AU: First Meetings
Tumblr media
I'm still getting a heehoo giddy feeling with all the interest for this AU! I haven't even properly written things yet and you're all being very welcoming! I'm seeing likes from people I've been following in the TD fandom! I got my first reblog from someone else who understands the joys of big monsters and monster x human tropes! Aaa! It sparks joy in me.
I promise to use this joy exclusively to give Noah a Bad Time. He's one of my favorites, so he must suffer. That's the rules. (Don't worry, Alejandro will get to suffer too, we just haven't gotten that far yet.)
I'm going to start with how the two meet and their relationship up until Alejandro decides to reveal his true colors. So no real content warnings for this part except for manipulation and intimidation, especially regarding size. Given the premise, and the fact that Alejandro is Alejandro, this is going to be true of most of this AU.
Now let's see if I can properly use the Read More button to get into the juicy deets.
<- Start/Prev | Next ->
Noah lives in a small town on the coast of Lake Wawanawka. In days long past the town was a major shipping port. It was fighting with a rival city for dominance in the region. A massive storm set the town back, and now it only exists as a place to stay that's cheaper than the big city up the coast. The town government has been trying to revitalize the town by turning it into a tourist trap, but that's only resulted in tourists trashing the place at night while they spend most of their time and money in the big city. Still, money is money, so the townspeople have little choice but to put up with it.
Noah's recently been accepted to the one community college in town that's kind of helping to keep the town afloat. He plans to coast through an associate's degree with ridiculously easy classes. Then he's going to use his intelligence to get a scholarship to a private university and will never look back on this town. Only exception would be to come visit his family, though at this point only a few of his older sisters still live at home. Some have already left the nest just like he plans to.
Noah doesn't have many friends, so he tends to go off on his own. He's managed to find one spot on the beach that's inaccessible to most. It requires a tight squeeze through rocks. It's the one thing his wiry frame is good for. Tourists don't know about it so they can't ruin it. Townspeople who do know about it typically don't bother. He's taken measures to make it look as unappealing as possible. Can't have people taking away his best spot to get away from a rowdy house and read in peace.
That is, until a particularly bad storm hits. He returns to his reading cove, ready to complain as he has to either deal with or ignore the debris that's sure to be littering the place. It's while he's kicking away debris that his foot comes across something soft, small, and....tan? He moves the debris away to see something that would look like an eel if not for the top half being a human that looked around his age.
He reacts calmly when this thing groans and looks directly at him asking "¿Qué pasó?" He takes a second to breathe, and think rationally about what he's seeing in front of him.
He certainly doesn't scream like a bitch, fall on his ass, and attempt to crab walk away.
Once Noah actually calms down and accept the fact that this is not a psychotic break on his part, he and who he learns is Alejandro get to talking. Fortunately in English. Alejandro reveals that he swam too close to the surface and got swept in the storm. He doesn't know where he's ended up. He took a really nasty blow to the head too because he doesn't even quite remember where he came from. Alejandro would greatly appreciate if Noah could tell him where he is.
Noah's got some questions about all this. Ignoring the fact that merfolk apparently exist (a phrase he never thought he'd utter), Alejandro's an eel. Literally. Eels aren't native to Canada. So there's no possible way he could be from Lake Wawanakwa. Noah suspects he's an electric eel, which would place him somewhere in South America. When he points this out, he swears he sees a spark of electricity in Alejandro's tail. It confirms Noah's suspicions. It also confirms that Noah's not about to touch Alejandro with his bare hands. Alejandro commends him for being smart enough to help jog his memory. He remembers humans referring to the name 'Peru' in the waters he comes from.
He reveals that magic does exist in this world, as is evident by his very existence. There must have been magic in the storm that brought him here. Sadly, he doesn't know how he can use it to get himself back home. Not that it matters much, he can adapt to living here. Still, he begs for Noah not to tell anyone else that he's here. Noah has been so kind to him, but Alejandro isn't quite so sure how other humans will react to seeing him.
Noah's still quite suspicious about Alejandro. But the alternative is either A) a townsperson finds Alejandro, sees him as their ticket out of this town, and does who knows what to him for fame and money. Or B) a tourist finds Alejandro, and either does like the townsperson, or flips out and calls the cops, leading to who knows what kind of military experimentation assuming the cops don't just shoot him on sight.
So curse Noah's bleeding heart, he tells Alejandro that if he's going to stay in shallower waters, he'll be better off staying here. He warns him about the tourists and the townspeople. If he's going into deeper waters, then he's going to have to watch out for the fishermen, the cargo ships, and the ferries that go across the lake. Alejandro just grins and promises to repay Noah's hospitality in full one day.
And thus, Noah begins to meet Alejandro in secret. Mainly because he refuses to concede his favorite reading spot. Noah does some research on electric eels, and comes prepared with rubber gloves any time he wants to get close with Alejandro just in case. Alejandro isn't always there, but when he is he insists on interacting with Noah. He gets interested in the books he sees Noah reading and reveals that he doesn't know how to read. Noah can't just allow for that, so he teaches the Peruvian how to read English. He tries to teach him how to write too, but that's more difficult given the size difference and Alejandro constantly being wet. Noah will take to reading aloud to Alejandro, and when Alejandro learns how to read, he takes to slithering his way in between Noah and his book so he can read along, taking care not to touch Noah's skin.
Their relationship continues to grow as they talk about their respective lives. Noah tells him about humans, and Alejandro will tell him things about merfolk. When Alejandro goes to deeper waters, he comes back and describes the old shipwrecks he's found closer to the bottom of the lake with a certain wonder in his eyes. He'll even start to bring little treasures back from them, first for himself, but eventually for Noah as well. They get to make fun of tourists together and watch them from afar. Noah's dog Ark comes in at one point, and Ark loves Alejandro. Alejandro doesn't feel the same way about Ark and complains about the slobber. At a different point, a stray cat makes its way to the beach and Alejandro learns that he loves cats. And that cats don't feel the same way about him. To them he smells like a fish and looks like a snake, so they'll either try to claw at him or flee on sight. This saddens the Alejandro. He vows to one day successfully pet a cat.
Then, things take a turn seemingly out of the blue. Alejandro reveals that he has a surprise he wants to show Noah. It's a skill he'd lost for a while due to the nature of his arrival. He's been practicing it in private, but he thinks he's finally recovered it fully! He begs for Noah to indulge his theatrics by covering his eyes. It will be the last time he asks like this. He promises. Noah rolls his eyes, but begrudgingly agrees to do so.
Noah hears a lot of shifting. Of rocks. Of waves. He hears something scraping the ground around him. He feels the air around him grow charged. The hair all across his body is standing on its end. He can't help but remember those initial doubts he had about Alejandro.
"You may open them now." a familiar voice rumbles. The accent is as thick as ever. It's louder than a tiny body should be able to produce. It's coming from the wrong direction.
It had been so nice to be wrong. If he keeps his eyes closed, he can keep being wrong. Schrödinger's idyllic beach life. He's smart, and he has a friend with no strings attached. He's smart, and he knows patience is not one of Alejandro's virtues.
Noah opens his eyes to gaze at the massive beast staring down at him.
Were his teeth always so sharp? Alejandro spoke of hunting, which implied he needed teeth sharp enough to rip into flesh. Noah had never really paid attention until he was looking at a full set of teeth, each the size of his hand. They grinned in a facsimile of a warm and inviting smile he was accustomed to.
Noah forced his gaze further upward to check if Alejandro's smile met his eyes. He recognized those eyes. When Alejandro had first started bringing his treasures, he would talk about them nonstop. Noah had tried to grab one of them to get a closer look. Alejandro had immediately retreated to the water, holding onto his treasure as if his own life depended on it. He'd felt an odd sense of something he later recognized as jealousy. Which was strange because it was jealousy over an object. But it was an object that had commanded Alejandro's full attention, full protection, full possession.
What a fool he'd been to feel jealous of something he was now the target of.
"What do you think?" Alejandro asked like a dog that had just brought home a dead cat and was now begging for praise. He closed the distance between them by bending down and slithering back to meet closer to Noah's level.
Noah's throat closed. He felt his face betray him as his ears and cheeks began to flush red. This is fear and a confused and conflated mixture of adrenaline and oxytocin brought forward by an intense situation, nothing more.His feet remained loyal. He backpedaled, only to be stopped by a soft wall that hadn't been there a second ago. He pressed a hand against the wall while maintaining eye contact with Alejandro. That was what you did with wild animals wasn't it? Certain ones at least. He didn't if it would work with eels. An electric eel will wrap itself around its prey, ensuring that there are at least two points of contact for maximum effectiveness. Once established, it will send a shock to incapacitate its prey before consuming it. If he wheels through facts he picked up about eels to prepare himself for this situation, he doesn't have to acknowledge that the wall that dwarfed him from behind was a hand.
"Noah, por favor." Alejandro purred. "We're amigos. I haven't forgotten the times we've spent together. They've been delightful! And so very informative."
Noah had been too concerned about protecting Alejandro from humans. He taught him how to read. He warned him where the people frequented. He taught him how modern ships run on electricity. Alejandro shared that he wished he could have met the ships he'd visited before something else had sent them to the bottom of the lake. All of these red flags only served as the pins and needles holding Noah in place.
"And more importantly, I made a promise to you! A Burromuerto never breaks their promises. Not even to humans." Alejandro suddenly tilted his hand forward, forcing Noah to stumble backwards into a cupped palm. He pulled Noah closer until his face engulfed the entirety of Noah's vision. He let out a breathy sigh right onto Noah. "It truly is a shame that you're a human in my new hunting grounds. I could allow you to simply stay if you weren't. I have no doubt you would enjoy literally ripping apart los estúpidos turistos with me just as you enjoy verbally ripping them apart."
Noah felt an index finger ruffle the top of his hair. On instinct, he moved his hand up to smack it away. His eyes widened as he realized what he'd just done, but Alejandro only chuckled. "See what I mean?" he continued. "But, sadly for both of us, I can't let it be known that I let a human go without a fight. I have a reputation to uphold. However, I will reward your hospitality with something I will never offer to another human again. Porque eres tan precioso para mí."
Alejandro carefully placed a thumb under Noah's chin to keep his gaze focused on the former. His claw rested against Noah's right cheek. The sharp tip faced away from him, but that could change at a moment's notice. "You have the privilege of convincing me why you deserve to live."
And Noah knew he would have to choose his next words very carefully.

Headcanon: Kurono Hari x Pregnant! Reader.
It's my first post, I'll accept friendly suggestions and corrections, at least the ones that sound friendly to me because I'm a crybaby (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)
English is not my native language.
Hari finds out about the pregnancy
• You knew how it had happened, and it was obvious, but what you didn't know was when it happened. After all, Chronostasis and you always looked out for each other.
• Or that was what you two believed until those two red lines appeared.
• You were nervous because you didn't know how to tell him, you were afraid of how he would react, apart from the fact that he and you hardly interact since he was always busy with his "boss"
• You felt stupid for being jealous of Chisaki Kai, even though he was a man and straight... Is he?
• At that, the sound of the door of the Department being opened put you on alert, and even more so when you heard the monotonous voice of Hari who left his coat on the porch that was next to the door. The only thing you thought was "I'm screwed" and you were.
"__ Is something wrong?" He asked from the other side of the bathroom door. You nervously answered positively, while trying to hide any trace of the pregnancy, but it was too late when he opened the door noticing how you were in the bathtub trying to open the small window that looked out, and in his hands a pregnancy test.
• «Shit» you thought when you noticed that you had forgotten to put the lock on the door.
• Hari quickly walked towards his wife, while she continued trying to open the window, and when he least expected it, surprise! The pregnancy test was snatched from your hands and now an albino boy looked in a trance at that object processing the information.
"Windows error" You said after a few minutes in a tense silence that you tried to soften with that small comment, something that made Kurono react and start to frown.
"Honey?"
"Are you...?" He didn't complete the sentence due to your small sobs.
• He hugs you tightly trying to show support, and calm you down. Despite not proving to be the best husband, he still loved you even though he wouldn't prove it either. When you calm down and he's wiping your nose, he'll wait for you to tell him something, but what did he want you to say? He already saw what he wanted to hide.
"When?"
"I don't know, since Monday I've been feeling bad and I haven't been able to go to my online classes..."
"Thank God" she was grateful when she heard about the lack of your classes, since despite having married young, she wanted to continue with her university studies even though she had to do them at home at the request of her husband and, currently, Overhaul's right hand man.
"I think they won't accept my classes anymore if I keep missing them."
"I don't see the problem, you'll have my son, that's more important than those stupid classes."
"... It's my future, Hari!"
"Now it's time to take care of our son."
• You were going to argue with her, but with the unfriendly face of her husband, you lost the desire to start imagining a fight where he lost and you won with some good arguments. Although that wasn't satisfactory if it didn't happen in real life.
Five months later
• Even though your belly was a bit swollen due to the growth of that son or daughter of yours inside you, you couldn't go outside. You were being watched by Hari, even though you weren't at home, and every time you went out you would run into one of your coworkers by chance. By chance! It's not like they're following you, no, of course not.
• Even though you found an excuse to go outside and not have an interrogation at night, it was difficult. Because every time you eat almost the entire contents of the refrigerator and furniture, if not everything, the next morning there are new foodstuffs, even things you never thought existed, like a square watermelon or peanut butter-flavored cereal.
"When are we going to see the baby?"
• That was your greatest wish, that both of you go to the hospital for an x-ray to see the baby and at least know the sex or how many there were going to be. You already imagined that because you didn't know, you would be in a room with doctors for ten hours at the time of delivery to have more than one baby and get home, taking into account that you only have one crib. God! You needed to know to at least prepare yourself mentally and not be afraid of feeling more than one creature coming out of your vagina.
• So you told your husband to go to hell, without him telling him, and he left his apartment with his bag to the hospital since he asked one of his ex-colleagues, who is a doctor, to make an appointment so that he could know the sex of the baby as well as the number.
• What you didn't expect was that your husband would be in the office waiting for you, since he was lucky to ask his boss for permission to go out to resolve some personal matters, who reluctantly accepted.
• Now you were on that stretcher with the cold gel on your swollen, not to say fat, belly, while your husband's cold gaze was on you.
"Congratulations! You're having twins." The doctor said, congratulating both first-time parents.
• And... Did you hear that? That was you having a crisis, but hey! You'll have a nice family with the person you love, it's not that bad.
Nine months
• How fast time goes by, your belly is bigger and your hormones are raging. There is not a moment when you don't bother Hari in the middle of the night to ask him for a strange food mix. The poor guy sometimes, most of the time, stays at Yakuza to get a break from you, although there he is not safe with the anti-germ boy either.
• Luckily, the night your water broke was right at the time Chronostasis got up to go to work, so what do you think Chronostasis? More work!
• They had to go to the hospital, where luckily no one suspected their identity and they continued with their lives.
• Inside the delivery room, you were giving all your strength while Chronos watched from afar as you gave birth to his first child. Why was he far away and not next to you? Easy, he didn't want you to break his hand and he thought you could do it alone since, according to him, you were a strong woman.
• After eight arduous hours where your throat began to hurt from so much screaming, and Chronos who left for five hours at work, you were able to finish the labor and observe with tears in your eyes those two little ones who made you suffer like never before.
"You are a pain in the vagina" You said to both babies, who are breastfeeding from your breasts full of milk.
• Chronos watched from a corner at his children and his wife, thinking about how beautiful you were and that you will no longer have online classes and you will depend on Him, although if you try to leave being financially stable, he will have the children to keep you with him even though he does not like it very much since he wants you to stay voluntarily and not out of obligation.
"This one will be called Sirius" You named one of your children after one of your beloved favorite literary characters.
"Sirius?"
"You wouldn't understand, honey" You answered simply.
"Then his name will be Ryuk"
"Ryuk?" This time it was you who asked.
"You wouldn't understand, honey"
• both of you will undoubtedly be somewhat... Different parents, but who will love each other until you ask for a divorce... Or him.

♡ TW: Yandere, non-explicit dub-con, inappropriate behavior
♡ English is not my native language, so I apologize for any mistakes.
Ivan had been your friend since childhood, in fact, since the day of your birth. He was several years your senior, and your mothers were best friends. On the day you were born, Ivan gazed at you with shining eyes filled with admiration, as if he were beholding a precious jewel. From that day forward, he made it his mission to protect you from all the evils of the world. Throughout your childhood, he had always been fiercely protective of you, to the point of preventing anyone else from interacting with you. You didn't mind; after all, he was like a brother to you, and you felt you needed no one else.
The sun was casting its rays of light, slowly fading away to make way for the moon. One afternoon, while you were playing at the park, you settled into a swing and waited for him to push you. He obliged, starting off with gentle pushes. "Hey... Can I ask you something?" he inquired in a hushed tone, appearing shy. "Hm? Of course," you replied, curious as you had never seen him this way before. He stopped pushing and moved in front of you, looking deeply into your eyes as if he sought sincerity, his dark eyes making you feel slightly unsettled. "Promise me that when we grow up, we'll remain inseparable?" he asked uncertainly, fearing your answer. "Of course! I don't need anyone else, Ivan!" He smiled at your response and embraced you tenderly.
Years passed, and now you were eighteen and he was twenty-three, yet you remained inseparable. You had never truly needed anyone else, but now things were different; you yearned for a boyfriend. However, finding one proved difficult, as you were quite introverted and rarely spoke to others.
After class, you stood outside the school, waiting for Ivan to pick you up. Finally, he appeared in the distance, quickly approaching you while cautiously surveying his surroundings. "Ivan!" you exclaimed, leaping into his arms and enveloping him in a tight embrace. He blushed in response, returning the hug shyly, flustered by your reaction to seeing him.
You both strolled toward your house. "How was your day?" you asked, glancing at him, eager to hear his response. "It was okay, much better now. And yours, princess?" he said, looking concerned into your eyes. You were unsure why. "Mine was the same as always." You continued on in silence, simply relishing each other's presence.
Upon arriving at your home, you retrieved your key from your pocket and quickly unlocked the door, inviting him inside. "Is your mother not home?" he asked as he entered, surveying the surroundings. "Not that I know of," you smiled at him. "You know... I've been thinking," he turned to you curiously, "I want to find a boyfriend." His words hit him like a punch to the stomach. "A boyfriend? You don't need anyone but me!" Ivan exclaimed, perhaps a touch too loudly, appearing slightly irked. "But, Ivan, I’m growing up, and so far, I've had no one." He grasped your shoulders forcefully and pulled you close, his face mere inches from yours. "I can be your boyfriend." Your cheeks flushed instantly. "You?" you stammered, "But... you’re like a brother to me." Ivan's heart plummeted, shattering into countless pieces.
"I will make you realize you don’t need anyone but me." With that, he closed the distance between your lips, kissing you with fervor and intensity. You stood there, speenchless, simply accepting it, unsure of how to react, your face burning like a tomato. He separated for a moment, then pulled yoi into his bedroom and pushed you into de bed. Before you can protest, he was atop you removing your clothes. "Ivan... What are you doing??" you remained in shock. "Making you body learn that it needs only me".
"But, Ivan, we can't...", you tried to push him away, but he remained still on top of you. "And why not?", he questioned, looking at you a little impatiently. "I just... I don't know." He continued, ignoring your pleas. You were completely naked now, completely exposed to him. "Ivan...", you murmured shyly. "I'm going to make you mine, whether you want it or not."

Hello bibibbon! Admittedly, i completely forgot that characters like crust and native died during the first war but after some thinking I’ll be killing them off as well. Of course, I will still be keeping nighteye’s death as well.
Of the villains, i’m definitely going to be killing off AFO. I’m also toying around with killing off garaki as well. As for Re-destro and curious, it depends on what direction I’m planning on taking the MLA & PLF. Though, considering that curious is important himiko’s character and quirk awakening (if i am remembering correctly), I might have himiko kill her regardless?
As for the civilians, since i’m planning on expanding on the families of class 1-A and then some. I could kill off some civilians- maybe the older (vigilante) sister I gave denki and perhaps even a relative of hitoshi’s? Actually i think killing off a relative hitoshi was close with could force hitoshi to experience some character growth and maybe cause him loss some of that ego of his. Of course there is the question of yuga’s parents and then there’s something tempting about killing off himiko’s parents… though killing himiko’s parents would just be entirely a self indulgence thing, i genuinely just can’t stand either of her parents tbh.
Actually, i’d love to kill off a class 1-b student! i just have no clue who, but since i am planning on giving 1-b more screentime and expanding their characters, i’m sure i’ll realize which one will be the perfect pick. i could also kill off a student or two from the other heroes schools as well. I am also toying around with the idea of AFO killing minoru when AFO is taking hawks’s quirk, just a quick and simple death. think something like gummigoo’s death from the amazing digital circus except not as comedic.
—🐈
Aside from that there were many heroes that we don't know of that died in the first war arc for example eel boy and majestic.
So you can play around with this and see if you want to kill them or leave them alive or give them more of a character and then kill them.
Tumblr media
Since you are going to kill nighteye iam also going to assume that you will be killing both magne and the hero that dabi killed during the overhaul arc.
There is also overhauls team who ends up getting killed during that arc so you could kill them or do something with them as they do have interesting quirks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think killing off garaki is a great idea and depending on who kills him whether that be kurogiri, Mic or shigaraki it would help to enhance their characters and add more complexity to them that could be explored.
Killing mineta sure is something and makes sense. However, I do want to pose a few questions like how would this impact the plot? How would his classmates, society and parents react? How does this change minetas character arc for better or for worse?
Since you're thinking about killing him at a very specific moment you also need to remember that during that moment mineta was depicted as brave trying his best to stand up to afo and help tokoyami and hawks so what message would his death send to the Hero society? A message of doom and lost hope?
Or is it something easily forgotten about and no one really bats an eye except of one person a bit similar to gumigoo's death and how we only see pomni mainly react to it

OC Deep Dive Tag
Thank you @the-inkwell-variable for tagging me over here!
Since I'm focusing on BB1, I'll answer these for young Einjal Daju (as he is at the start).
Tumblr media
What common/uncommon fear do they have?
Einjal is claustrophobic and sometimes that extends to feeling very trapped in the life he's expected to live.
-
Do they have any pet peeves?
He biggest annoyance is when people act like they're better than him. He also hates being told what to do, and is likely to do the opposite if he gets pushed too hard.
-
What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?
Seashells, a "cool stick", sand on everything.
-
What do they notice first in a person?
Their hairstyle. Einjal believes it says a lot about a person and his judgement is usually correct.
-
On a scale from 1-10, how high is their pain tolerance?
5. He's injured himself a few times but he definitely doesn't enjoy it lol
-
Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?
Fight. He's very quick to snap back when provoked and he doesn't handle pressure well.
-
Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?
As a young child, his immediate family were his parents (Viklin and Avra) and his older brother, Geibri. However, by the age of 17, he's completely alone and expected to rule an island.
When he has children of his own, he's very close to them, and tries his best to be the kind of father he always wanted to be.
-
What animal represents them best?
Probably an octopus. Not just because his best friend is one lol. They're a lot smarter than people give them credit for, which definitely applies to Einjal too.
-
What is a smell they dislike?
He hates the smell of fire flowers, as they remind him of his brother's funeral.
-
Have they broken any bones?
Despite injuring himself a lot, he's only ever broken a bone once. And that was just by falling down the stairs at home, rather than on one of his adventures lol
-
How would a stranger likely describe them?
Loud, annoying, idiot.
-
Are they a night owl, or morning bird?
Morning bird. He loves the daylight and is always up early to make the most of the day.
-
What’s a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?
He loves peaches, they're his favourite fruit and he'd eat them all the time if he could. They aren't native to Bahavi though, so he can only get them when they've recently been imported from Kazete.
He hates very sweet things, like most Elohian desserts. This disappoints Lavis greatly lol
-
Do they have any hobbies?
Einjal enjoys swimming, adventuring, socialising, dancing. He has a lot of hobbies and just likes having fun any way he can.
-
Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprise?
He'd LOVE it. He enjoys having positive attention on him and after so long of feeling alone, he would love to have people there that love him and want to celebrate him.
-
Do they like to wear jewellery?
Einjal wears a lot of jewellery, as it's the Jasho style. He has lots of rings and necklaces, and both arms are full of bangles and jewelled bracelets.
He also has a few piercings - septum, bridge of his nose, snakebites, and ear gauges (Bahavian tradition).
-
Do they have neat or messy handwriting?
His writing is messy, which infuriates Lavis when they exchange letters as he has to decipher them lol
-
What are the two emotions they feel the most?
Longing and stress.
-
Do they have a favourite fabric?
Like most seabloods, he likes wearing loose cotton or silk.
-
What kind of accent do they have?
He has an upper-class Bahavian accent.
Tumblr media

Navigating the Complex World of Mobile App Development
In today’s tech-driven world, mobile apps have become a cornerstone of how we connect, work, and play. Whether you’re launching a startup or enhancing an established business, building a mobile app can be a game-changing move. One of the most important decisions you’ll face is choosing the right technology stack. The tech stack you pick will directly influence your app’s performance, scalability, and overall user experience.
What Exactly Is a Tech Stack?
A tech stack is essentially the set of tools, programming languages, and frameworks you use to build your app. For mobile apps, the stack typically consists of three main components:
Front-End: This is what users see and interact with — the app’s interface.
Back-End: This is the engine under the hood — handling data storage, processing, and integrations.
Platform: The operating system your app is built for, like iOS, Android, or both.
Key Considerations When Picking a Tech Stack
Let’s dive into the options and what you should think about when deciding which tools to use.
Platform Options
Native Development
Languages:
iOS: Swift or Objective-C
Android: Kotlin or Java
Pros:
Best-in-class performance.
Full access to device features like cameras, sensors, and GPS.
Cons:
Higher costs.
Longer development time if building for both iOS and Android.
2. Cross-Platform Development
Frameworks:
React Native (JavaScript and React)
Flutter (Dart)
Xamarin (C#)
Pros:
Faster development.
Reusable code for both iOS and Android.
Generally lower costs.
Cons:
Slightly lower performance compared to native apps.
Limited access to some advanced native features.
3. Hybrid Development
Tools:
Ionic (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
PhoneGap/Cordova (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
Pros:
Easy to learn and work with if you’re familiar with web development.
Leverages standard web technologies.
Cons:
Performance is not as strong as native or well-optimized cross-platform apps.
User experience can feel less “native.”
How to Make the Best Choice for Your App
Your decision will depend on several factors. Here are some key points to consider:
App Complexity:
For simple apps, cross-platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter are great choices.
For feature-heavy or complex apps, native development might be the way to go.
Time to Market:
If you’re on a tight schedule, cross-platform tools can speed up the process.
Budget:
Native development can be pricey since you’ll likely need separate teams for iOS and Android.
Cross-platform and hybrid options are usually more cost-effective.
Performance Needs:
Native apps deliver the best performance, but modern cross-platform frameworks have come a long way and can handle most needs efficiently.
Team Expertise:
Leverage the skills your team already has. If they’re experienced in JavaScript, for example, React Native might be a natural fit.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right tech stack is a pivotal step in mobile app development. It’s about finding the perfect balance between your project’s requirements, your budget, and your team’s expertise. By weighing factors like app complexity, performance, and cost, you can make a well-informed choice that sets your app up for success. Remember, a solid tech stack is the foundation of a scalable, user-friendly, and high-quality app.

not otome isekai but theres this manhwa that i read, return of the 8th class magician or something like that, mc served a prince who became emperor in his first life doing atrocities in that princes name and leaves after the prince becomes emperor to "atone for his sins" but the prince-turned-emperor murders him bc hes afraid of ian's (thats the mc name) power and ian time travels.
first of all the way the manhwa includes and caricaturizes native americans is awful. theyre turned into these... black magic wielding dark shamans who collude w demons and some shit, mc walks up and takes the staff their chieftain uses after storming the place and killing him.
second of all the main character is just... bad. flat. boring. man went back in time to "atone for his sins" bc he regrets all the bloodshed and murder but on the first night upon his return he kills a man and goes "ah kindness alone cant protect anything" like bro? the man did try to assault ians mother but both she and ian are leaving that town anyways and forever out of that guys reach, who tf is he protecting by killing him?
third of all theres no depth to the side cast. characters are introduced and dont get to matter. their "development" and plotlines get introduced, dont come up again, and then suddenly get "resolved". theres a plotline about looking for a specific herb to cure a character the mc took into his family so to speak, and the search... never features on screen.
fourth of all the female characters are dogshit. theres like three, one is ians mom who is just there to be mom(TM), theres a female magician whose name i dont remember that got introduced as a cocky powerful magician only to get her ass whooped by a 12yo ian. theres the princess who was forced to hide her magical abilities by her father the emperor and yet nothing is done with her she contributes nothing to the plot the politics the magical threat only to get married off to the mc. awful. also the spelling of her name keeps changing so i cant tell what it is. my current best guess is hayley.
there are many other sins this manhwa commits such as a dogshit chosen-one mc-is-the-only-one-who-does-anything-at-all and the-emperor-is-a-terrible-parent-but-the-narrative-doesnt-acknowledge-it shaped crimes but god have mercy this manhwa is terrible.
id like to hear anyone react to it just so i can derive some entertainment from this.
This sounds like it'd be on par with those weird ass fantasy fufilment that were popular in 2013 for being power fantasies for men.
If I can find it, I'll read it for a post.

COWBOY CARTER truly is the best thing to happen in 2024, praise Beysus, she is here for us delivering genre-fluid, socially relevant Americana
I have a really long post in me about how this album and its blending of like five different American musical genres while also being a clear statement of identity and heritage is such a great expression of a concept we learned in graduate school in my Race Theory class: how among USAmericans, most white people identify culturally as American, yes, but also often toss in that their people come from Italy or Ireland or wherever, there's a dual identity. Similarly, immigrants have a dual identity of their nation of origin and their new home country. Native people tend to primarily identify as native. But Black Americans are the most likely to identify completely as American -- having been forced to immigrate, having their culture stripped from them, the creation of the Black American experience forged a really strong sense of identity, even while White America has tried to exclude
And COWBOY CARTER really exemplifies this idea as a body of work because it is Beyonce reacting to exclusion with an education on her history, music's history, and the nation's history
in a time period that is so politically charged I've been kind of let down at the lack of political music in the mainstream, but Beyonce is an exception. She's making statements.

How would the RLF react to see an Earthling wanting join up and fight the corps? Assuming that there aren’t already Earthlings in the group to begin with. Would Rusty give slight verbal jabs here and there about how the corps, and by extend Earth messed up his planet?
Outsiders joining the RLF isn't actually unheard of! You have varying levels of "Rubiconian" in fact:
Cinders: these are the 'old guard', the Rubiconian citizens that survived the Fires. Unsurprisingly 50 years on they're not numerous, but those that are still in combat roles are the old Rubiconian militia pilots that were augmented. Majority of them pilot BASHO ACs or the tetrapod MTs, and they're stretched pretty thinly. Snow Warrens, which is the base APV is focused on, has Flatwell as the only combat capable Cinder, and a few other Cinders in logistical/administrative roles due to injury or old age.
Generational/Embers: these are Rubiconians descended from Cinders. So, Rusty would be considered an Ember, as his mother was a Cinder. It's a poetic sort of label that's meant to symbolise the new generation of Rubiconians as 'embers stirring from the cinders'. Both Cinders and Embers are considered native Rubiconians.
Naturalised/Kindling: These are Rubiconians that arrived on Rubicon post-Fires, but joined with the RLF through various means. Kindling is meant to symbolise new blood/fuel to keep the embers alive, as the RLF realised that if they kept insular and spurned any and all outsiders from joining their cause, they'd die out. Ziyi would be considered a Kindling, though many consider her an honourary Ember because of the fact that she was adopted by Flatwell as a baby. Rokumonsen as well is considered a Kindling, despite not technically being part of the RLF proper - he's a close enough ally to earn that designation.
I'll note that no Earth humans are Kindling, though. No one really leaves Earth, since it's such a rat race to earn a citizenship there in the first place, and it has the best quality of life out of all of UEG colonies. The only time an Earth human washes up on Rubicon is if they're an augmented human that defected from UEG's military to be an independent mercenary, and don't really join the RLF. Rokumonsen is a notable exception, and he's not even from Earth - he's from Triton, one of Neptune's moons lmao
Majority of Kindlings in the RLF are from other frontier colonies and are from the working class, fed up with their lives and lured in by the idea of joining up with a resistance and fighting against the corporations. While there are other resistance groups in the galaxy, Rubicon is considered the most "successful" in that they're armed, organised and keep cropping up in the news for the past fifty years. Majority of resistances get stamped out within a few years.
So, uh, tl'dr, if an Earth human did join up, yeah, Rusty would be pretty suspicious of them. He'd be extremely passive aggressive in that very polite kind of way that's common in a corporate politics kind of way, but he'd never do anything that would compromise or hurt them on a mission. Rusty's very professional dfhdfhdf
