#I would nom you up like a pizza if I could

[michellemisfit]

Is it confession time? I feel like it might be confession time…

I have this habit - I think many of us do - of only half glancing at usernames when I first come across them, and just making them into a word in my head. And then I say that word every time I see that username, therefore reinforcing my own believe. And eventually (though sometimes never) something makes me stop and actually read a username, letter for letter, and go oooooh.. 😯

I know NOW that @gardenerian is Gardener Ian. But I didn’t know that for the first three to five months of following Mel. And two weeks ago I went to Pizza Express and I realised where the word I was saying in my head every time I saw one of Mel’s posts actually came from…

I’m afraid to say that for a pretty long time there lovely Mel, you were a vegan pizza in my head… 🤷🏽‍♂️

What would the lamia's first meeting with Akemi go? Would the nom her or... I don't know. Also: would Sekido have a warm tum?

I'll make a short story for the first ask!

She didn't know what where she was. All she knew was that she was somewhere in a forest of sorts. The rustling of leaves an indicator, nocturnal birds singing their song song and crickets making the instruments for them.

She bumped into something scaly, flowercrown covering her eyes. She heard a shrill voice, scales moving on the ground and panicked breathing.

" Oh... sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you..."

She apologized, bowing deeply to show her honesty in her words. However, the person shrieked and then another set of scales moving on the ground was heard.

Why was the air suddenly warm? Was it the warm breeze that came in the forest? Was it beginning to become day? She didn't know. She couldn't physically see.

" I didn't mean to intrude, honestly. I just got lost after someone bumped me."

She straightened herself, folding her hands in front of her lap. Like a respectful person. The air was becoming cold. She heard hissing, a growl in front of her. She was a bit alarmed and scared, but mostly curious.

" Pardon me if this sounds rude, but are you perhaps a lamia?"

Everything went silent. She didn't like the silence lot. It was like a plague taking over the air and atmosphere in the forest. Something that always made her uncomfortable.

" Kekekeke! She looks delicious!"

A sharp inhale of air was heard behind her. She was a bit unsettled by the comment. She must have been right, if the previous silence meant anything.

" Urogi is right! She does look delicious!"

" Please stop... you two are being pathetic..."

" Silent! All of you!"

" Awe! Sekido always ruins the fun!"

" Can we eat her?"

" *Whimpering*"

" LET ME THINK!"

How... pleasant. They sounded like adult bickering over the last slice of pizza. Only this time, they were bickering over who gets to eat her. She wanted to stay intact and alive.

" I... I don't mean you any harm. I promise."

She spoke, causing them to fall silent. She lowered her head, flowercrown making it impossible to read her emotions.

" I am merely lost. And I don't know where to go. I didn't mean to walk into one of you."

" You are going to pay! You could have taken off that flowercrown to see, stupid bitch."

She felt hurt by the rude word, but she sighed nonetheless.

" Even if I did, I would still be unable to see."

" Why is that, snack?"

" You look pathetic, human. It makes me sad."

" I am blind."

It was silent again. Did she manage to get them to stop seeing her as food? Do they know what it means to be blind? She hitched a breathe when her flowercrown was taken off by large claws or digits.

" Open your eyes."

" Yeah! So we can see the fear in them!"

" Shut up!"

She opened her eyes, earning hitched breathes. In total, she guessed five gasps. She felt a shadow engulf her form.

" What do you see?"

" Nothing. Just nothing."

" Are we in a clearing, or not?"

" I don't know... clearing?"

It was deathly silent, before a large hand picked her up.

" You are coming with us."

This was an encounter she would never forget. And the fact that she is being taken by them. Not that she minded. She wanted to learn more about these lamias/nagas.

As for Zohakuten, he'd immediately nom her. Hantengu would have to tell him to not digest her, and explain why. It is only five years later that Hantengu and Akemi got together.

And, yes, Sekido has a very warm crop. Stomach/ second stomach/ brooding pouch is also correct, but I put their crops in their human half. Snake half is the actual stomach. Not unbearably warm, but warm enough to make you a bit out of it. Drunk without drinking, in other words.

london, fidget, fall out boy

saturday, november 4th, 21:38pm

i’m on the train back from london now! going back home to brighton. i’m currently delayed because of congestion at the next station ahead so that’s really fun and not annoying at all. anyway i thought i would take the time to write my little blog about what i’ve been up to!

i met my friend jen in london waterloo yesterday (like two hours late… standard tobi fashion) and then we went on a little trip to the big selfridges! i also got mcdonald’s because i didn’t eat in the morning. selfridges is basically just a big shop full of designer clothes for tories, but the top floor is a big toy shop. we went to look for the jellycats, jen wanted the cloud and i wanted the skeleton, but they actually didn’t have either. i ended up getting a bat and jen got a burger and a snowman. this is them!!!

i decided to name my bat fidget! i think that it’s pretty cute. i’ve also started an instagram account for him (i’m that guy) it’s @fidget.adventures if anyone wants to follow his journey! so far he’s come everywhere with me!

after we went to selfridges we went to our hotel which was actually super fancy and i just had no idea??? jen was in charge of booking and organising, i just paid however much she told me to. i paid back in january so i guess i forgot that it was right next to the O2 arena. like RIGHT next to. and so posh. insanely posh, we both felt so out of place. it was fun though. we put all our stuff in the room and just chilled out for a bit, then we went to get something to eat but it was a nightmare. jen’s a really picky eater so she didn’t want wagamamas, she wasn’t in the mood for pizza, blah blah blah we went to costa. i know what you’re thinking… “costa? before a concert? when you hadn’t eaten since lunch?” i know. but we did that. i had a brie and cranberry toastie and oh my goooodddd it was so good i loved every single bite. nom.

once we’d eaten we headed over to the merch store where we had to queue for like .. half an hour? 45 minutes maybe? it wasn’t that bad but it was raining and we were queuing outside so it could’ve been better. i ended up getting a fall out boy tshirt, and maybe surprisingly i got merch from one of the opening bands. honestly i’d never heard of them and they weren’t the best but i thought their merch was cool so i bought it! i also put the fall out boy tshirt on over my jumper so i was #prepared for the actual concert.

the queue to get in was short but we were like two hours early because jen tends to freak herself out if she’s not early to stuff, basically the complete opposite of me. i left my passport in the hotel so i couldn’t even get a pint (DEVASTATING). i did get a pepsi max though! we headed into the actual arena as soon as doors opened at 6:30 to find our seats. the opening bands were okay! the first people, nothing,nowhere , are the people who’s merch i got. they did a lot of shouting and “get the fuck up!”s but you could tell the crowd were NOT feeling it. it was also relatively quiet still. the second opening act was PVRIS. she was alright! maybe not my type of music but i can definitely see the appeal. her talking voice is so different to her singing voice too, so it caught me off guard a little bit. but the people seemed to like her more. maybe she’s a little more well known, i have no idea.

then fall out boy came on.

oh my god.

i’ve seen them before, for the MANIA tour in like… 2018 i think? and i loved it then, but i definitely enjoyed last nights show more. i don’t really know anything from the new album, so much for stardust, but imagine my delight when they play their old music. i’m not talking american beauty/american psycho old, or even folie a deux old, but they did play some folie. i’m talking TAKE THIS TO YOUR GRAVE. the debut album. 2003. music older than i am. they played saturday, where is your boy, calm before the storm… ohhhhhg my god i was living my absolute best life. there were songs that jen didn’t even know and i was screaming my little emo heart out.

here’s a lil video of sugar we’re goin down:

it was incredible. i’ve missed concerts so much. and jen. i haven’t seen her since summer ended :(

————

i’m home safe now and feel so weird. my “old” life feels like so long ago… but it’s really a few months. uni is weird like that. i feel like i’ve known some of my uni friends for years.

tyler i don’t even know if you read these, but i saw akira in a book shop and it made me think of u. i’m sorry i fell asleep, i won’t next time i promise<3

DJMM trying to hide his s/o from Vanny and panicking because he could accidentally hurt them if he tried to hide them under his hand(s), his hat's to small to keep them hidden, being behind the booth can only do so much and he doesn't have enough time to go into his tunnels so he just… panic noms

So one of my ideas for DJMM is that he makes little beeping noises along with other mechanical noises with different tones to communicate, kinda like Bumble Bee in Transformers. His S/O will be very accustomed to their meanings after a while. Anyway I hope you enjoy this💕

DJMM x S/O! Reader (⚠Safe Vore)

Word Count: 728

Warnings: ⚠Soft Vore⚠, Mentions of killing reader because Vanny, slight fear

Fandom: FNAF Security Breach

Pairings: DJMM x Reader

————————

You met DJMM when you started hanging out with Freddy and the gang after hours, the night shift got pretty boring after all. At first the giant, spider-like animatronic absolutely terrified you, honestly who wouldn't be afraid of something like that. After joining Freddy for a bit of dancing every few nights however, you began to develop feelings for the quiet DJ.

Now here you were, a few months after you'd first met, dating the animatronic you once feared. He's gentle, kind and gives the best cuddles. Your favorite time of the night is when you simply get to go into the holes in the walls with him and cuddle up in his nest. He kept pillows and plushies of all shapes and sizes in there so you would always feel safe and comfortable. After all, the spider boi wanted nothing more than to protect his little butterfly.

So when the whole fiasco with Vanny began you can bet your life that he was panicking over you. You'd been going all over the pizza plex trying to help find a certain naughty little kid, that is…..until you started seeing someone in a bunny suit with a knife running around. This had just turned into an incredibly dangerous situation and when the bunny locked eyes with you your heart sank. There was only one safe place to go now. Running as fast as your legs would take you, you make your way to the Fazcade and the main animatronic you trust to help you.

As you burst through the doors and run up to DJMM his black eyes widen. What could be causing you to react this way? He doesn't have to question your reaction for long because soon enough a certain skipping murderous bunny makes her way in. MM looks around the room, trying frantically to find some way to hide you from this person who clearly had malicious intentions. The lights glinting off of the knife in her hand told him that. Unable to think of anywhere else to hide you and more or less having a panic attack the DJ picks you up in his gloved hand, carefully putting you past his rows of teeth that are always visible.

At first you have no idea what's happening, you just kind of end up in an odd dark place the color of MM's eyes. Then you're pushed down a type like structure of the same color until you fall into a soft and rather large and hollow space. It's not until the walls start to glow with a swirling purple light that you're able to stop and actually think about what just happened. The last thing you saw was what looked like MM's teeth closing back into place. That's around when the reality of your situation hit you. He had literally swallowed you. You'd come to him for help and for some reason this is what he thought of. You sit frozen in place for a moment before you hear him make a few noises, they're usually the ones he makes when he's concerned about you.

"You ate me! What made you think this was a good idea?" You say, terrified while also being a bit annoyed at your significant other. Your question is answered with a few more concerned boops and beeps. You can't help but sigh, looking up at what you guess must be the entrance to his esophagus. That must have been the tube you fell down. As you look around the glowing cavern you notice just how soft and warm your surroundings were. Despite your fear you had to convince yourself he hadn't done this to harm you. "You're not going to hurt me…..right?" You ask, needing some type of confirmation. MM makes a sad beeping sound and then a slight, almost purr like sound that he usually does to comfort you. That was as close to a no as you're going to get from the silent DJ. After all, he wasn't programmed to speak.

Putting a hand on what you assumed was the stomach wall you try your best to calm down. The silk like texture that moves and dips under your hand makes this all the more real to you.

"Just…..remember to let me out when it's safe." Your request is met with a few more gentle beeps.

Tina

Summary: Being a plus sized girl wasn’t easy but having someone like Sam Wilson in your life made things a lot better

 Word Count: 1483

 Square Filled: Home Alone

 Pairings: Sam Wilson x Plus Sized!Female Reader

 Warnings: Body insecurities, some bullying about reader’s size (not from Sam), mild adult themes

 A/N: If your name is Tina, please feel free to pretend all mentions of the name Tina is either Tina Jr. or something else.

Written for @star-spangled-bingo

 The world wasn’t kind to plus sized women. You would often have people make cracks about your weight, telling you to lose it or making fun of you in general. What these people didn’t understand was that it wasn’t just easy for you to lose weight because of underlying health issues like your thyroid and other problems that caused your size to fluctuate. Your number one sense of support came from your roommate and best friend, Sam Wilson. Whenever you wanted to diet, he was there alongside you and if you wanted to exercise, he would spot you at the gym. If fell off the wagon and just wanted to eat junk food and watch TV, he was cool with that too. Sam would never push you into something you didn’t want to do and would always encourage you to do whatever felt right for your body.

You were currently at home by yourself as Sam had gone out for the night to spend some time with the boys. As you were currently in an ‘off’ period, you were situated in front of the TV with your junk food watching a movie. As you watched the people on the screen, your insecurities started to get the better of you. Sighing, you lifted your shirt to look at your midsection. Stretchmarks streaked across your skin; some red, angry and new, others silvery and faded with time. You poked at the soft flesh, pinching at your love-handles between your fingers and thumb, examining how your belly jiggled when you gave it a gentle pat. Had Sam been home, there was no way in hell you would be exposing yourself in such a way.

 “Would you like some food, Tina?” you asked your tummy.

 “Mmm, yes! Feed me!” you said in a different voice, putting a Cheeto in your bellybutton. “Nom, nom, nom!”

 You moved the area around your bellybutton as if your stomach was ‘eating’ the chip.

 “Y/N?”

 You jumped to your feet at the sudden voice, knocking over the coffee and sending snacks flying. Slowly, you turned around to see Sam staring at you.

 “What the hell are you doing?”

 “Um...” you brushed some crumbs away and pulled your top down. “You got me. It’s Friday night and I’ve got nothing better to do...”

 “I see...”

 “I didn’t expect you home so soon...”

 “The night was a bust. Most of the guys either hooked up, got drunk or called away,” he replied.

 Sam walked over to help you clean up the array of fallen snacks.

 “So... do you do this often when I’m not here?” he asked, quirking an eyebrow.

 “No, uh... you caught me in a bit of a weird moment...”

 Once the snacks had been cleaned up, Sam joined you on the couch, eating the food you were able to salvage. A somewhat awkward silence fell over the pair of you before Sam finally broke it.

 “So... Tina?”

 “Yep, Tina the talking tummy.”

 “Does Tina... like to eat?”

 “She does... not always like that, but the girl does like her food... she also talks to me, demanding food...”

 Sam grinned a little. He knew how insecure you were about your tummy so he enjoyed seeing you come out of your shell a little to talk about it.

 “You, um... you won’t tell anyone about... Tina, will you?”

 “If you don’t want me to tell anyone, then I won’t. Anything that makes you happy,” he said, casually putting his arm around you and popping a Cheeto into his mouth.

 You couldn’t help but blush. The truth was, you had developed a major crush on Sam but felt like you couldn’t do anything about it. He was absolutely gorgeous, both physically and his personality. Sam could have any woman he wanted... so why would he want you?

 “Y/N?” Sam’s voice pulled you out of your negative thinking.

 “Yeah?”

 “How about I order the three of us a pizza?”

 “The three of us?”

 “Yeah, you, me and Tina,” he winked. You playfully rolled your eyes.

 “I think Tina would like that,” you smiled.

 You realised that this was a private joke that wasn’t going away anytime soon.

...

 A week later, you had gone on a blind date a friend had set up for you. By the time you came home, you were in an absolutely terrible mood.

 “How was your date?” Sam questioned from his spot on the sofa.

 “The stupid most embarrassing thing happened!” you snarled, throwing your purse and sitting next to him of the couch with your face in your hands. Sam put his arm around you to comfort you.

 “What happened?”

 “Tina made an appearance...”

 “Oh, she did, did she?”

 “Yeah... so the dinner was going well at first, he seemed really into me... then I felt this horrible rolling feeling. I look down and Tina had escaped my Spanx. She was sitting there like ‘Yo, Y/N, introduce me’,” you said in your ‘Tina’ voice. “I never felt so humiliated.”

 “Then what happened?”

 “At first, my date didn’t notice but then he asked me to dance. I didn’t really want to but he pulled me onto my feet and onto the dance floor. He put his hand on my waist and well... his expression suddenly changed. I couldn’t read it... his whole personality changed and he became mean and nasty. Kept making digs about my weight. I paid for my meal and left...” By now you were in tears.

 Sam wrapped his arms around you and held you close.

 “It’s okay, Y/N. You don’t need jerks like that. You deserve a man who thinks you’re beautiful and can see how amazing you are.”

 “Yeah, right. Like I’m going to find one of those,” you scoffed.

 “You have one right here...” You looked up at him in surprise.

 “You... think I’m beautiful?”

 “I sure do. Every single day. From when you’re all dressed up to when you’re working out at the gym. I just think to myself... Damn, how has nobody snapped this woman up yet?”

 “I... I’m not...” you subconsciously covered your stomach. Sam took your hands and kissed them.

 “You are beautiful, Y/N. I know your struggles, how hard you work to take your weight into your own hands. Your size doesn’t matter. All that matters to me is that you’re happy. I love you.”

 “I love you too, Sam.”

 Sam smiled and gently pressed his lips to yours. You wrapped your arms around his neck and he placed his hands on your waist. Unlike the guy you went on a date with, Sam’s touch was warm and inviting. Eventually, you had to pull away for air.

 “I also love Tina,” he grinned. You laughed and kissed him again, feeling a lot better about yourself and about Tina.

...

 A few weeks later, you and Sam were enjoying a date. He had taken you to an art gallery which featured plus sized women in the artwork, whispering in your ear how beautiful you were. As you were walking around, you were spotted by a group of youths. They were pointing and laughing at you, making rude gestures, sounds and remarks.

 “Hey!” You marched over to the group who made even more comments.

 “You see this? This is what a real man looks like,” you stated, pointing to your boyfriend. “He loves and respects women of all sizes. You boys would do well to learn from him.”

 The boys muttered as you walked away, still acting positively boorish. A few weeks ago, they would have gotten to you but since dating Sam, you felt like you could take on anything. You went up to Sam and kissed him deeply. The boys were in shock as Sam kissed back.

 “How about we go shopping and you can pick out some outfits that will look good on both me and Tina,” you quietly purred.

 “Damn, I love this woman!” Sam loudly proclaimed, the smile never leaving his face.

...

 Whenever you were with Sam, he made you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. He loved you with all his heart and furthermore, he completely accepting of Tina. To think, if he hadn’t caught you doing something so embarrassing when you thought you were alone, you may have never have gotten together. You still had your issues with your body image but with Sam by your side, you felt like you could take on the world.

100 Reasons Why You Should Stay Alive

This morning you, Peter and Ruby Anne had gotten dressed and ready to go out into the city for some good pizza. The three of you made your way down to the kitchen where a few members of the team were. Bucky, Steve, Bruce, and Tony were there, having breakfast and coffee.

“Hey good morning. Me and the girls are gonna go to the city to get some pizza!” Peter said, you and ruby following behind him. Tony made a weird face and Steve raised an eyebrow at you.

“Pizza for breakfast?” Tony asks. You and Peter shrug before you speak.

“Why not?” Tony just shrugs with both brows raised and waves you off.

“Alright. Go have fun I guess.”

-------

You were at a booth, playing a game on your phone while you waited for Peter and Ruby. They were at the line ordering their mini pizzas and you were securing your seats. Peter ordered what you wanted and now the three of you were sitting at the booth waiting for your pizzas to come out of the pizza oven.

You all made small talk while your drinks came, and made plans to once again stop by the pet shop down the street. It was tradition that every time you went to get pizza, you'd have to stop by the pet shop and look at all the puppies.

“Have you ever been to a pet shop?” You asked Ruby, who was taking a bite out of her pizza. She shook her head as she swallowed her food.

“No, I've never been. I'm not really a dog person.” You gasped at that. You had assumed everyone on earth was a dog person. Who doesn’t love puppies?!

“Really?!”

“Yeah, I guess it’s cause I never had a dog, or met one up close, but I don’t know, they just never caught my attention.” She shrugged. You nodded side to side and hummed.

“Well, now’s your chance to change your mind. Me and Peter have this tradition to stop by the pet shop down the street and look at all the puppies. Peter never lets me go in though, because he thinks that if I go in, I'm walking out with a puppy in my hands.” You say, rolling your eyes. Peter scoffs and rolls his eyes as well.

“I don’t think. I know you will. And then Tony’s gonna blame me for letting you.” He said.

“Whatever. Anyway yeah, so we just look at the animals from the window. But… maybe todayyy can be different!” You say, hope dripping from your voice and you turn to look at Peter with a sly grin. “Since we have Ruby Anne, we have to show her inside! So she can meet a puppy up close and maybe change her mind! Come on, pleaseee? Can we go in, I promise not to adopt anything, I promise!” you plead, pulling out your puppy eyes, knowing he almost always falls for that.

Peter lets out a heavy sigh and rolls his eyes, making your cheer. “Fineee, just because of Ruby Anne.” He says, getting up and waiting for you all to go to the shop.

------

“They’re really cute! And so soft!” Ruby chuckled, walking out of the pet shop with you and Peter on either side of her. She had a really good time looking at all the little puppies and going into the small booths to pet them and snuggle them.

“Right? They’re amazing! Hey, I'm pretty sure now, that if you asked tony for a puppy, he wouldn’t hesitate.” You say with a smug smile of your face as you wiggle your eyebrows at her. She lets out a short laugh. Peter knows exactly why you said that and looks at you while he giggles.

“Dohohon’t even start.”

-----------

You had come home about an hour ago and practiced some ballet as well as training a bit with your brother in the gym. You were now walking in the yard with Ruby Anne, having a nice little girl talk. You were talking to her about Jeremy as you both took a seat on one of the benches in the garden.

“Hmm. Maybe Steve is right.” Ruby chuckled. You shook your head with a smile.

“I used to doubt it but, now I don’t know what to think. But I do know that “we” would never happen.” You scoff. Ruby hums and stares off at the flowers. “What about you? Any crushes you got?” You smirked, nudging her with your elbow. Ruby scoffed and paused for a moment.

She shook her head almost sadly. “Not anymore. It didn’t work out.” She shrugged. You hummed and gave her an apologetic look.

“Well… he's an idiot for not seeing your worth.” You say. Ruby laughs at that and raises her eyebrows as she nods sarcastically.

“Yeah well, its fine. He likes some other girl. She’s so much better for him. They compliment each other very nicely.” She smiles.

“Don’t say that, you are enough. There's no “girl that’s better”. Everyone has something that makes them valuable. You’ll find someone that sees that in you.” You grin, giving her shoulder a comforting pat. She nods and gives you a shy smile.

“Thanks.” She sighs. “So, your turn. You got a crush?” she asks. You take a deep breath and stretch your arms a bit.

“…. I don’t know actually. I mean, I see guys and find them attractive but, I'm not really at the point where I wanna date yet. And I guess that’s what's stopping me. I wanna appreciate and take advantage of my youth. Maybe- I don’t know. I just feel sometimes that when you date at a young age, especially when you both are still growing and immature, you're basically dating for heartbreak.” You shrug. “So I figured I’d just wait, and save myself the pain. I’ll find the right one eventually. But of course, that’s just my take on it.” You chuckle. Ruby nods and smiles.

“Yeah… that’s kinda true I guess.”

Pietro had brought some Chinese home so everyone gathered to have lunch today. You were having some orange chicken and rice and you couldn’t be happier. After everyone was almost done, Tony spoke.

“So guys I was thinking we should have our movie night outside, what do you think? We set up the yard real nice, weather’s good, we could set up the projector and have our snacks.” He said, smiling when everyone started to agree. You were really excited at the idea and couldn’t wait to set everything up.

That was until now.

After lunch you had taken a shower and a nap. You hadn’t realized its been hours that you were asleep but you were just so tired, you didn’t know why. So when Tony came waltzing into your room to wake you up, your motivation to go help outside was very low.

“Y/nn, wake up…” he sang lightly shaking your shoulder a bit. You groaned loudly, hugging your pillow tighter. “You said you wanted to help with the yard, you’ve been sleeping for a while, its 7:30 and its getting dark. Peter and Ruby are already outside.”

You groaned again, burying your face into the pillow. “mmm. Don’t care.” You mumbled sleepily. Tony smiled softly.

“Aww come on, you don’t wanna get up?” he asked in a very sweet voice. You shook your head no. “You sure? You promised you'd help…” He said, smirking as he lightly started scratching your sides. You began you giggle and kick your feet tiredly, tightening your grip on the pillow.

“Noooohoho. Stohohop.” Your giggles were muffled as you kept your face planted in the pillow. Tony added more pressure, waking you up a bit more and causing you to squirm around. Your laughter became louder and you began to push his hands away as much as you could. “Tohohonyyy!” You yelled, cacklling when his fingers drilled mercilessly into your ribs and you shook him off, giving you enough time to grab the sheets and engulf yourself in them, using the comforter as a shield.

“Come on, get up!” He sang, before smirking. “If you don’t get up, I’ll eat your belly!” He said, poking his head under the covers and hugging your waist to his face, playfully biting and nibbling your stomach. You scream in ticklish agony and flop around as much as possible. His beard was driving you crazy and the noms and noises he was making were not helping at all. “TOHOHOHONY STOHOHOP!” You cry, unable to defend yourself since you were getting tangled up in the covers.

Tony ignored your protests, playfully growling and rubbing his beard all around your torso, occasionally biting your ribs. “I don’t hear a surrender!”

You erupted into loud belly laughter when he began to continuously blow raspberries into your belly. That was the breaking point for you, and you finally decided to give in to make it stop. ”OKAHAHAY ILL GET UHUHUP PLEHEHEHASE!!” You begged, pushing at his head desperately. Tony blew one last raspberry before poking his head out of the covers. He chuckled loosely and helped you untangle yourself from the blankets, giving you a hand to get you out of the bed.

“Glad I was able to convince you. Now come on.” He smiled, leading you out of your room. You whined slightly and lazily walked wherever he led you.

Everyone was out in the backyard, blankets and pillows everywhere, ready to be set up. Steve and Clint were pinning the big white sheet in between 2 close trees and setting the projector up.

When you had gotten to the yard, you went towards Peter, who was helping Thor and Bruce set up the snack and drink table. “Look who finally came out of her coma!” Peter teased, smirking as you rolled your eyes. “Wanna roll down the hill?” he asked, pointing behind him. The backyard had a small hill that the 2 of you liked to roll down off. It wasn’t steep, but it was high enough for it to be fun to roll down. You nodded with a grin.

“Where’s Ruby?” you ask, looking around for her.

“She’s helping Wanda put up the lights. We were practicing cartwheels a bit ago. She’s pretty good!” he said, walking up the hill with you. You smiled at the thought of them playing around.

“Cool! I'm glad she had fun.” You both had your blankets and wrapped yourselves up in them before laying down. “Ready? First one down gets the last pop tart.” You giggle, ready to roll. Peter’s smile faltered as he craned his neck to look at you.

“Wait, what? There's only one left?!” he asked.

“321GO!” You yelled, immediately rolling down, leaving Peter to scramble around and roll down, already too late to win. You were giggling and closing your eyes as you spun and spun until you slowed to a stop. You unraveled yourself and looked up just in time to see Peter roll to a stop. You laughed along with him and both got up, him helping you.

“That was so not fair.” He chuckled.

“I was just kidding about the pop tarts.” You started. Peter sighed in relief. “There’re none left. Thor finished them all.” You tittered, shrugging a shoulder. Peter deflated and groaned, making you laugh.

-------

WHACK!

You and Peter were in the middle of one of your many pillow fights while the rest of the team were finishing up. All that was left was putting the blankets and pillows down. 

You were aiming at Peter and were about to smack him, your arm bent over your head when your pillow was suddenly snatched from behind. You gasped and turned around to see Nat tucking it under her arm.

“Nat!’‘ You cried. She gave you a shrug and half a smirk. 

“What? This is my pillow, I need it.” She said, walking away and leaving you to get quickly knocked to the ground by Peter with the pillow. You could tell he wasn’t done so you quickly got up and and ran, giggling loudly as he chased you. 

You circle around the food table to where Steve is and you run behind him, hugging him for protection. He’s taken aback at first; giving you a weirded out smile, unaware of Peter standing a few feet away, and returning the hug. You beam at him, giving him your brightest smile and looking back over at Peter, who’s glaring at you playfully. You grin and stick your tongue out, watching as he leaves but not before quietly telling you that he’ll be back for you. 

You finally leave your brother’s side once you deem the coast is clear and go help Nat who’s laying the blankets down. 

After helping out a bit, you spot Ruby Anne talking to Peter a little far away. They’re both laughing and you smile to yourself, happy that you’ve been seeing her smile a lot more. You were glad that she actually did what she said she was gonna do and give the team a chance. There was still a lot of progress that she and Tony would have to make, but the more you saw her interact with the other members, you knew things would only get easier from here.

As you’re laying a blanket down, you smirk widely at an unexpecting Bucky, who’s sitting on the ground with his back to you, changing the batteries on some of the battery powered candles. An idea to surprise him slipped in your head and you couldn’t stop yourself. When it came to Bucky, messing with him was your favorite hobby. You didn’t know what made him so fun to prank but he was. 

You grabbed the blanket back and snuck up behind him, careful not to make any noise before throwing the blanket over his head and pulling down/back so that he falls on his back. With a laugh you try to get away but somehow he manages to quickly grab a hold of your ankle before you can run. You scream and protest as he begins to slowly drag you over to him with the blanket still over his head. “Nononononoooohohooo!” You giggle nervously, kicking and rolling around with no avail.

“I wonder who this could be?” He hums, blindly tickling all over you, starting with your thighs, mercilessly tasing them, knowing how that drives you crazy. You’re letting out loud uncontrollable giggles as you pointlessly try to kick your legs out. “Hmm. Feels like... female, mid-teens,” He starts, digging his thumbs into your hips making you convulse with laughter. “About __ lbs., Extremely ticklish, hmm... seems familiar...” He moves his hands to your sides, rapidly squeezing them, smiling at the sound of your laughter. “Apparent poor defense skills,,, very sneaky though; always out to get me...” 

Your stomach was beginning to cramp from all the laughter and teasing. You were begging for him to stop but he only ignored your pleas. 

“God- I know this! I’ve heard that laugh before! It can’t be Peter, it’s gotta be...” Bucky sighed feigning defeat, playing dumb and prolonging the torture for you.  “I feel like this could be y/n but I’m not sure.” He shrugged, shaking his fingers into your ribs. 

“IT’S MEHEHEHEHE!” You cry, throwing your head back as you laughed. Bucky gasped before ripping the blanket off of him and blowing raspberries on your belly. You shriek and arch your back violently, bursting out into hysterics. Your body falls limp as you laugh and accept your fate. 

“I knew it! There’s only one person who’s brave enough to constantly mess with me and think she can get away with it!” He teases, blowing another raspberry and shaking his head into it, chuckling against your skin when you let out a small snort. He sits back briefly only to start leaning down towards your neck. You immediately know what he wants to do and you shrug your shoulder up with a squeal. “Nooohohoho! It’s gonna tihihickle so bahahad!” You cackle. 

“Yeah, you’re probably right.” He said. He chuckled loosely and blew the raspberry in the crook of your neck. Your body instantly paralyzed when you screamed, falling into silent laughter . He finally sat back and watched as you we’re just a giggly puddle on the ground. “I wonder when you’re going to learn that pranking me almost never works out for you.” He thought out loud, smiling as you let out residual giggles sprawled out on the floor. 

“Neveheher.” You say, shaking your head tiredly. Bucky snorts at that and shakes his head at you fondly before scooping you up and laying you on his lap. “You gonna sit with me while the movie plays?” He asks, wrapping his arms around you, cuddling you to his chest. You nod firmly with a hum and cover yourself with a blanket since it’s getting chilly out. The yard is all set up and everyone finds their seats and watch the movie as a family. 

It’s about 2am when the movie ends and everyone is having another snack at the food table. Tony had said that it would be better to clean up tomorrow, since it was late, so all they had to do was clean the food table and bring the leftovers in. Since Bucky had gone to help, you were clingily holding onto Steve’s arm since you were so sleepy you couldn’t even stand on your own. 

When everything wrapped up and you all said your goodnights, you raised your arms at Steve, hinting at the fact that you wanted him to carry you inside. He huffed out a laugh and rolled his eyes, but obliged anyway; picking you up. You wrapped your legs around his waist and your arms around his neck as he carried you inside and up to your room where you quickly fell asleep.

Red Robin: Gourmet Burgers and Brews

Summary: Tim gets sued by a burger joint.

Read here on AO3!

“I can’t believe this.” “You had it coming, man.” “I can’t believe this.” “You got cocky. It happens.” Duke shrugs. “This is just the universe’s way of reminding you that the laws of society don’t cease to apply when you’re a trust fund baby who’s also the CEO of a billion-dollar company.” “But they don’t even know any of that! I could be poor for all they know.” “A poor guy with state-of-the-art equipment and weapons.” “Maybe I got it at the Salvation Army,” Tim says. “They don’t know me, they don’t know my life.” “How did you even get this?” Duke asks, picking up the thin pile of documents to look them over again. “I’m guessing they didn’t mail it here.” Tim sighs, pillowing his head on his arms where they rest on the tabletop. “A pizza guy delivered it to me while I was patrolling in the east district. Looked scared out of his mind when he talked to me.” “This is why I do the Tony Stark thing and never let people hand me things. Keeps you out of legal trouble.” Duke takes the document on top of the stack and starts folding it into an airplane. Tim frowns. “I thought his reason was a trauma thing.” “Whatever, I have trauma too. Like watching you freak out over getting served between ass-kickings. It’s terrifying.” “What’s going on?” Bruce asks as he enters the kitchen. He charts a path straight for the freezer, taking out a carton of his favorite banana ice cream—the devil of all ice creams. It’s an insult just to have it in the house. “Tim’s getting sued by Red Robin,” Duke says with glee. Tim drops his chin on the table in misery. “But...you’re Red Robin. Is this for some identity-protection scandal?” “Nope,” Tim says. He pushes the legal documents across the table. Bruce picks them up curiously. “The restaurant is suing me for violating their copyright restrictions. Apparently they got offended that I borrowed their name, even though I’m technically not the one who came up with the idea of Red Robin in the first place.” Bruce’s eyebrows raise as he peruses the details of the lawsuit. “Wow. They’re serious about this.” “Yep.” “Are you going to fight it?” Tim shrugs. “I mean, I have to, right? I can’t just come up with a new name and costume design willy-nilly. Plus, I just started getting recognized as Red Robin. No more being called ‘the new guy’ in newspaper headlines. I can’t just give that up.” “For the record,” Duke says, holding up a finger, “I called this months ago.” “You did not.” “Oh, yeah? Ask Jason. I bet him fifty bucks three months ago that the Red Robin chain would sue your ass before the new year. Perfect timing, too. I can use the money to fix my Signal-cycle.” “You need to stop calling it that.” “I will never stop calling it that.” “I’m sure you can work this out with the company’s board,” Bruce says. “The Wayne Foundation can donate a few thousand dollars to their Gotham branch or something. Easy fix.” Tim rolls his eyes. “Oh, yeah, because they’ll never question why Bruce Wayne of all people is trying to solve a vigilante’s problems with money.” Bruce shrugs. “Well, I tried.” He goes to the silverware drawer for a spoon, effectively abandoning his son’s crisis. Duke folds another paper into a lopsided crane that, if anything, looks more like a demented pterodactyl. “You could always sell out and endorse them.” “What does that even mean?” “You know, buy a few burgers. Do a commercial or two. Get their logo printed on your cape. Advertising goes a long way in the world of business.” Tim snorts. “Yeah, like I’ll just go and turn my vigilante career into an advertising platform. I don’t even eat at Red Robin.” “Doesn’t seem like you have much of a choice,” Bruce chimes in, eating his disgusting banana ice cream straight out of the carton. “Unless you want to figure out a new identity and color scheme.” “Hm.” Tim strokes his chin, as if he has any hope of ever growing a beard. Maybe it is time I get an original nom de plume. I’ve been riding Jason’s coattail my whole life, first with Robin and now Red Robin. I should do something original for once.” He squints in thought. “Like...the Goose. I can wear a white costume with a feathered cape. It’ll be cool, like ABBA.” Duke makes a face. “That’s an image I’ll never get out of my head.” “Or I could do a dragon theme, like a dark green color scheme with scaly leather boots. And a tail!” “Do you want me to vomit? Is that your goal here?” Tim throws a balled-up napkin at him. “Fuck off, it’s a good idea.” “Because all of Gotham wants to watch you parade around in scaly leather kinkwear.” “Why not? Bruce does it.” “I’m leaving this conversation now,” Bruce announces. “Good luck with your legal troubles, Tim.” “I’ve got it!” Tim says after he’s gone, snapping his fingers. “Drake!” “Drake?” “Drake. It’s perfect.” “No.” “Why not?” “It’s too obvious.” “Which is precisely why it’s perfect. No one will suspect a thing.” Duke can’t believe that he ever thought Tim was the smart one. Nobody in this family is the smart one; they all share a single brain cell and Barbara has full custody of it. “When people google you, the only results they get will be of the rapper. Is that really what you want your legacy to be?” “That’s...actually a good point.” Tim clicks his tongue in disappointment. “Damn it.” “If you call up the Red Robin corporation I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to hear you want to advertise for them,” Duke says. “Just saying.” “No. No way. Mark my words, Duke—I will never sink so low as to publicly endorse a burger joint while taking down criminals. I’m an adult. I have pride. And I can come up with a way to get out of this lawsuit without selling out to capitalism.” -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Knock it off.” “Hold still, Timbo. I need to get a good picture of this.” “It’s not funny.” “It is very funny. It’s like an early birthday present, just for me.” Jason snaps a few more pictures with his phone, not even trying to be subtle about it. His helmet is off so Tim can properly see his shit-eating grin. “This might just be the best day of my entire life.” “You’re an ass.” “And you’re a dork with a gourmet burgers and brews logo on your back. You’re in no position to be judging anyone.” “It’s only for a month,” Tim reminds him. “All I have to do is patrol with this every night and eat at the restaurant in costume once a week. Then I’m free.” Jason laughs. “Yeah, I’m definitely sending this to the entire superhero community. They are going to lose their fucking minds.” “You wouldn’t dare.” Tim lunges for the phone, but Jason is half a foot taller and keeps it just out of reach. “Too late, it’s already sent.” “I hate you.” “Fine, fine, I’ll make it up to you. How about we get dinner, on me?” Jason’s grin widens. “Say...at Red Robin?” “Choke on shit and die.”

What the Heck Is Going on in the Oscars’ Supporting-Actor Category?

Kodi Smit-McPhee is out front, but things get messy beyond him. Awards Insider goes over the chances of Leto, Affleck, the Belfast boys, and more.

With the Golden Globe winners and SAG Award nominations announced this past week, the race for the supporting-actor Oscar has cemented a front-runner—and a whole lot of uncertainty beyond him. Ahead, David Canfield and Rebecca Ford identify the few they can safely say will be recognized by the Academy, and the many others with a shot to fill out the field.

David Canfield: If you weren’t clear on whether the Screen Actors Guild’s nominating committee chose chaos, Rebecca, then its supporting-actor picks should be enough to convince you. The group left conventional wisdom at the ballot box, lifting the hopes of a few bubble contenders while humbling a few candidates trying to ride their front-running films to their first-ever Oscar noms. But one clear throughline is emerging, at least, as to who might be the man to beat: Between dominating critics’ wins and getting recognized by all the major precursors so far, The Power of the Dog’s Kodi Smit-McPhee is top dog. (Sorry.) So before we get into the mess beyond him, do you agree? And who’s emerging as a potential challenger?

Rebecca Ford: Yes, I totally agree with you on Smit-McPhee, David. Just like his character in the film, he’s really showing up strong and sort of out of nowhere. I have to say I love that Wednesday’s SAG Awards nominations were chaotic because I think we’re all craving a little bit of drama in this season—after all, the events where we usually get such drama are non-existent for at least the next month. Anyway, I would have answered your question completely differently two days ago, but it's true that SAG has very much shaken up this category. I do think Troy Kotsur from CODA may now be Smit-McPhee's biggest competition. He won the Gotham award, and earned Critics Choice and SAG Awards nominations. And CODA clearly has some renewed momentum behind it, also earning an ensemble SAG nom too. Who else do you think has increased momentum in this category based on the most recents news?

Canfield: CODA is gaining momentum fast, and to your point, other than Smit-McPhee, Kotsur is the only actor to have landed nominations consistently across SAG, the Critics Choice, the Golden Globes, and the BAFTA longlist. So at minimum he feels like our other lock for a nomination. I’m also pretty surprised to say I like the chances of Licorice Pizza’s Bradley Cooper; transparently, upon seeing the movie, while I greatly enjoyed his performance I just didn’t think he had the screen time. Getting a SAG nomination for the Paul Thomas Anderson film, which is a big overall contender (the Academy’s acting noms always lean toward strong best-pic players, relative to SAG), is no small thing. Since the category is more shapeless than ever, I’d bet on him making the final five. And who knows, maybe he can keep surprising and Judi Dench his way to an upset.

SAG’s list was rounded out by Jared Leto for House of Gucci and Ben Affleck for The Tender Bar; the former also showed up with Critics Choice, and the latter with the Globes. But both are still very vulnerable in my eyes. With Leto, it depends on how much of a force you see House of Gucci being. Actors clearly like it, but as we’ve seen with past SAG nominees like Da 5 Bloods and The Big Sick, that doesn’t always mean a ton. Leto’s performance is polarizing, if memorable, and if Gucci isn’t landing with the Academy outside of best-actress lock Lady Gaga, he needs to work hard to maintain momentum. Affleck, meanwhile, is on even more of an island; he’d likely be the only nominee for a small, poorly reviewed movie in The Tender Bar. Despite hitting a few key precursors, he could meet a similar fate to his current partner, Jennifer Lopez, Hustlers’ lone torch-carrier who couldn’t cross the Academy finish line. (Affleck also missed BAFTA’s 15-man longlist, which does not bode well.)

But then again, these guys beat out stiff competition for the SAG five! Rebecca, what is your read on their chances, and who might overtake them? Surely Belfast gets someone in here?

Ford: Leto and Affleck are interesting surprises. I do think Affleck delivered a very strong supporting performance in The Tender Bar, but he hasn’t been considered a strong contender to land the Oscar nomination. I agree I don’t think he’ll make it. Leto is more of a wildcard. But let's not forget he got a Globe and SAG Award nom for The Little Things, which did not come anywhere close to translating into an Oscar nomination.

It’s pretty wild that a few weeks ago we were so sure two of Belfast’s supporting actors—Jamie Dornan and Ciaran Hinds—were locks for nominations. But they both missed out on SAG noms. The film did land a best ensemble nomination, which is a good sign, so I’m not totally counting them out, especially Dornan. They also made the BAFTA long list—if they had not that would have been the kiss of death. So, I’d say one of them has a chance to land an individual Oscar nomination, despite this setback.

We’ve talked a lot about the good but who would you say has been slipping down the ranks or is likely to miss at this point?

Canfield: I expected the beloved J.K. Simmons to pop with SAG, given how well Being the Ricardos had played to the guild, so both him and the film itself missing feel like a significant blow to his chances, unless the movie overperforms with the Academy, which I would not count on. (It didn’t even make the hair-and-makeup shortlist.) And while my hopes weren’t too high for the tremendous Mike Faist, he shared in a disappointing SAG noms morning for West Side Story; he’s not totally out of contention, but he’s yet to meet any significant noms list and it’s getting late. This is also the end of the line for some personal favorites from Mass (Jason Isaacs), The Humans (Richard Jenkins), C’Mon C’Mon (Woody Norman), and other fading titles. Frustrating, but so it goes.

Let me pass to you to close by posing a scenario that could mirror last year’s: Is all hope lost for Jesse Plemons? We were shocked when LaKeith Stanfield joined his Judas and the Black Messiah costar Daniel Kaluuya in the 2021 lineup, since his performance was subtler and he hadn’t shown up on any other nomination lists. (It was doubly weird since Stanfield campaigned as a lead, leaving the movie with… no lead.) But a surprising Oscar acting nominee tends to coattail—for lack of a better term; I loved Plemons’ quiet Power of the Dog turn, and the film is surging. Can he pull that off and join Smit-McPhee? Or maybe another candidate we’re not thinking of, like one of those Don’t Look Up fellas?

Ford: The supporting categories do often lead to at least one surprise, no matter how many of these sorts of pieces we tend to write. And if it would be anyone I do think Plemons could be the one, though it still seems like a stretch. I am also a little bummed that Robin de Jesús hasn’t had more momentum for his great performance in Tick…Tick…Boom!, but all the attention seems to be going to lead Andrew Garfield, who definitely does deserve it, of course. The Don’t Look Up cast is a bit of a wildcard because the film is being welcomed in by voters (as proven by the SAG Awards ensemble nom), despite the tepid reviews and social media drama. But none of the supporting stars have picked up any major noms as of yet, so I’m not sure it’s possible at this point. With less than one month to go until nominations are announced, doors are definitely beginning to close for many hopefuls—so we’ll just have to wait and see if any of them find a window to sneak in through.

Remember… I’m not totally counting them out, especially Dornan. They also made the BAFTA long list—if they had not that would have been the kiss of death. So, I’d say one of them has a chance to land an individual Oscar nomination, despite this setback. — Rebecca Ford

Hey mod Kokichi, can I get a kin match up for any Danganronpa, Your turn to die and/or My hero academia characters? Thanks so much for what you do btw!

I view myself as very chaotic, bustling with energy, and a bit too friendly (it can make me gulliable or a bit afraid to conflict with others at times, but overall I’m confident in saying whatever.) I have adhd and the hyperness shows a bit, I also have no shame / dignity when it comes to making jokes (either puns, pick up lines or sexual). I am the type to make a chaotic joke in front of others just to see their reactions. I also am a bit spontaneous, I sometimes make animal noises randomly as a joke or greet people with a “rawr” to see how they react, and I am very goofy and love cute or sleepy speech, over using emoticons and owo when I text or the phrase nom nom.

I’m also however known as the mom or big sister friend of my group, I’m very bubbly and the type to bring snacks, and I constantly love spam or dote on my friends. I tend to go out of my way to cheer people up, doing anything and everything I can for them. I probably am a bit eccentric and extra lol, I just love supporting and gifting stuff to people. I absolutely love to tease my friends, this goes into my love for seeing people’s reactions. Often times I can be a bit too excited to be around them or mess with them though. It also makes me ramble a lot. They also are a bit worried because I can be a bit oblivious sometimes, lacking in life smarts and also being a platonic flirt who can never notice when people like me. I’m a bit clumsy too, and very dorky. I’m known as the token nerd because I am very very sweet and smart, I honestly am the biggest nerd I know as I love all subjects in school, especially Calculus and Literature. I get very excited when it comes to learning new topics or finishing my work. I also write, like a bunch. Poetry, short stories, essays, news articles, you name it! I’m also a journalist and take honesty and trust very seriously, and I inspire to be the things I admire in my friends. I’m also very cuddly, like extremely cuddly. Especially with my best friends or crush! Oh, and I am a wlw and a huge simp for my crushes.

I have a lot of interests, so much so that it’s hard to say what my favorite is! Besides writing, I love to draw and listen to music, game with my friends, play sports, dance, and do research. I am comfortable with myself and goals for my future, knowing I want to go into either the engineering field or the communications field. There is just so much I want to know and do, and I am very competitive so I always try my best. I also love doing sports like football, soccer, hockey and swimming, but at the same time I would take pizza, doughnuts, and dancing to some edgy music any day over it lol. My music taste ranges from musicals to what gives me gay vibes to a more sad vibe like Jeremy Zucker to even edgy with Set it off and Get Scared.

I also tend to overthink or really regret stuff, like a lot, and I have major anxiety that sometimes affects my health. But I move on both thanks to being open with my friends and to protect my friends. They are very important to me and I will do anything for them. I’m also a huge extrovert, the only one in my friend group actually, so I tend to help out with a bunch of stuff already!

I kin assign you with...

Ibuki Mioda

Firstly I thought of Ibuki Mioda, Ibuki is very up beat and has so much energy in which she can be sorta chaotic as well. She's also pretty confident with speaking and doesn't really think through it before she does even if it may be inappropriate. She seems to be pretty confident and hyper as well. I think Ibuki would be the type of person to make animal noises and say "nom nom" due to her saying "good nom nom nomming". She's pretty bubbly and would definitely be engaged with her friends and making sure they're doing alright and taking care of themselves. She also would probably show a lot of love and affection. She tends to forget things quite easily which could play into her possibly being more oblivious. Due to her passion for music she might have some sort of interest in writing, mainly for lyrics though. She's also definitely more extroverted, possibly focusing on other people and things to forget her own problems.

Kazuichi Souda

Secondly I thought of Kazuichi Souda, Kazuichi can tend to be a little more hyper and or chaotic. He doesn't seem to have a filter for what he says sometimes and doesn't seem to be embarrassed by it easily. He does seem to care about people due to helping Akane when Nekomaru died by giving her a mechanical doll of him. He tends to be slightly more flirty and cling onto people he likes like he seems to do with Sonia in the game. Kazuichi is also a mechanic, due to you thinking about going into the engineering field I feel like this fits in. He also seems to get frightened pretty easily.

Ryota Minitari

Lastly I thought of Ryota Minitari, Ryota is a little more on the shy side though he can know what to say and when. Especially if it ends up helping someone out. You could say he's a mom-type friend in some way due to feeling the desire to help people out. He's also against violence and doesn't care for conflicting much either. I think he'd overthink about a lot of things, especially if he does something he regrets. He's also pretty anxious as well.

•┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✦👑✦••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈•

Gin Ibushi

Firstly I thought of Gin Ibushi, Gin is definitely full of energy and overly friendly as well. He's also pretty gullible if you ask me and would rather choose to avoid conflicts. He can also tend to be more hyper. Like you saying "rawr" Gin tends to say "meow" or "woof" quite a lot which cloud also tie into you making animal noises. He also likes to try and cheer people up if he can and be more cuddly or clingy to people he's grown to trust.

Joe Tazuna

Secondly I thought of Joe Tazuna, Joe definently more upbeat and as a considerable amount of energy. He's also quite loyal and would do just about anything for his friends. He likes to try and make sure they're doing alright and taking care of themselves. It's also not awfully hard for him to sympathize with people. He also tends to say things or joke around at the wrong time.

Reko Yabusame

Lastly I thought of Reko Yabusame, Reko is pretty friendly to others for the most part she also takes on the more "motherly" role to those she cares about. She'll do what she can to help her friends when they need it. She's also really into music.

•┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✦👑✦••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈•

Denki Kaminari

Firstly I thought of Denki Kaminari, Denki is usually pretty energetic and isn't afraid to joke around with others at all. Though he may go a little too far sometimes. He's also pretty friendly as well. It could also be possible Denki may have adhd and he also has anxiety I'm pretty sure. He also may not be the smartest sometimes, but he can know what to say and how to help others when they need it and will definitely try his best to help those in need. He also seems to know a bit about music, art, and literature.

Mina Ashido

Secondly I thought of Mina Ashido, Mina definitely has a lot of energy and is pretty outgoing and bubbly, she's also pretty friendly. She also seems to like dancing pretty well. Mina tries her best to help others, especially her friends.

Momo Yaoyorozu

Lastly I thought of Momo Yaoyorozu, Momo is usually pretty friendly. She could also probably be seen as the mom friend of the group due to helping them quite a lot. Like when she helps some of the other students study. Along with this she's pretty smart academically. When normally she can be seen as somewhat confident she can also be pretty doubtful in herself and tends to focus on past things a lot.

I hope you're satisfied with your results!

Peter Pan Chapter #3

Trigger Warnings: None actually.

—//—//—

—//—//—

Peter was awoken to a calloused finger tips gently wiping hair out of his eyes. Only noticing the sound of a car engine when it came fo a stop. He was too tired to open his eyes so he just nuzzles against the shoulder his head was on and curled up as best as he could. Sleep sounded nice, sleep sounded good.

“Come on, baby. I gotta pick you up and take you inside.” Tony’s voice sounded at a whisper as his large hands gently positioned Peter to lean against the seat before shuffling out of the car.

“No!” Peter let out a loud whine, his eyes flashing open as he grabbed tightly onto Tony’s arm.

“Sweetheart, it’s ok. I’m just getting out so I can pick you up.” Tony said reassuringly, picking up Peter’s hand to press a kiss to his knuckles. Peter watched attentively as Tony moved out of the car before leaning back into backseat of the car to softly pick Peter up bridle style, pulling the young man close to his chest.

“Such a sweet boy. Go back to sleep. I’m never leaving your side again.” Tony pressed a kiss to Peter’s forehead as the boy turned to his right, nuzzling his face against his husband’s chest and getting comfortable as he let himself relax.

The rest was blurry. Peter just let himself drift off as he was carried inside. Morgan’s little voice came in and out for a few minute. The was the sounds of footsteps and door locks clicking. The only thing he completely remembers was the soft brush of Tony’s thumb of his lips as he was laid down on the bed and how the bed dipped beside him before a pair of arms wrapped around him and pulled him in close. With his head now nestled against Tony’s chest and his body resting in the protective arms of his lover, he fell asleep.

Peter was thankful that when he woke up he was still snuggled to the handsome king he had for a husband. The boy was laying down with his head resting in Tony’s lap, who was busy typing away on a tablet.

“Mmmm.” Peter hummed our, running his finger tips over his lover’s exposed thighs.

“I dreamt of when you first kissed me. You were very romantic. Especially considering you’d just shot someone infront of me.” Peter looked up at older man who huffed with embarrassment.

“It was either him or me. So I decided him.” Tony countered, putting the tablet on a near by nightstand before pulling Peter into a sitting position in his lap.

“Well I’m glad you decided that. I don’t know why I’m suddenly remembering everything... If I do remember why didn’t I just remember everything instantly.” Peter complained, letting his body lean completely against Tony’s body.

“Actually whilst you were asleep, Bruce came in and explained it. Basically, they walled off your memories and we have to trigger your memories. He said to think of it like a switch board. If we hit the right switch the memory will come back. Like with the ring and you remembering the waves.” Tony explained, running his fingers through Peter’s now soft, bouncy curly hair.

“Oh ok. Wel that makes sen-“ Peter started to say, slowly sitting up to look at Tony when Morgan bursted into their room.

“I WAS PROMISED A WAFFLE PICNIC!!!!” Morgan yelled before running out of the room, her little footsteps drumming through the hall as she ran down the stairs.

“W-What?” Peter said through his giggles, holding his side as he tried not to snort as he adorable child.

“Oh my god. How the hell does she remember that and not how to put her dirty clothes in the wash basket?! Two years ago I promised we would have a waffle picnic when we got you back. The two of you are going to make this house a mess again.” Tony chuckled, scooping Peter up to carry him to the closet before siting the boy down on a lounge within their walk-in-wardrobe. “And I’m going to smile when it happens. I love your mess.” He smiled, leaning down to kiss his baby’s cheek.

“For a mob boss you are a big sap.” Peter teased, making Tony roll his eyes.

“I wasn’t always a sap. I used to be tough until you and your cute little butt seduced me and gave me the idea of having a daughter.” Tony changed into a button down shirt and a pair of comfy shorts, meaning there was no business today. He then turned to Peter, offering clothed to him.

“Uhhh. I might take that shirt and those jeans. Thank you.” Peter choose one of Tony’s comfy t-shirts and a pair of stretchy skinny jeans. Tony helped the boy into his clothes before stepping back to admire his sweet husband. Peter stood there, blushing bright red, as Tony bluntly checked him out. The older man stepping forward to run his thumb over Peter’s exposed collar bone.

“I forgot how good you look in my clothes. If it wasn’t for a waffle picnic I think I could of found that switch for our honeymoon memories.” Tony flirted as he winked at the boy. Making Peter as red as a tomato as he let out a little surprised squeak.

“Oh hush. You aren’t innocent. Now. Let’s go before Morgan steals our kneecaps for taking too long.” Tony scooped Peter up into his arms and carried him downstairs to where Morgan was waiting, vibrating with excitement.

—//—//—

Not that much later the happy family sat on the grass by the river that ran by their house. Little Morgan swinging happily on a tire swing that Tony had made for her with Tessa bouncing around her whilst Peter and Tony sat on a tartan blanket being horribly domestic and cheesy because Tony was feeding Peter pieces of his waffle.

“This tastes really good. I missed waffles so much.” Peter hummed happily as he nommed on the piece of syrup drenched waffle in his mouth. Tony just looked at him with a sad puppy look.

“I’m ok, bab. I’m here now and you can give me all the waffles you want.” Peter smiled, cuddling up to Tony’s chest. They were trying to make up for all the lost time with all the soft touches and cuddles.

—//—//—

A few minutes passed and Morgan was back on the blanket munching on waffles as they all flicked through the photo album that Morgan and Tony had made for Peter, Tessa was now laying down and sunbathing in the grass.

“Tessa looks so big now.” Peter said a little upset as he looked between the puppy on the Polaroid and the dog laying beside them.

“I’ve missed so much.” His voice quivered as he clutched the book. The album was full of what he had missed. Things like Morgan’s first day at school, her birthdays, Tony’s birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, funerals. But the thing that hurt the most was that he missed the little things like icecream for dinner, pizza parties, little trips into town with his daughter, cuddles with his husband whilst they watched a movie. Two years of his life were gone and he could never get them back.

“Hey, Peter. Sweetheart, it’s ok. Shhh. It’s ok. I got you.” Tony cooed to him, gently wiping tears from Peter’s eyes. He didn’t even realise he was crying until Tony’s hands were on his face. The young man just jumped into Tony’s lap, hiding his face in Tony’s shoulder and letting himself just sob in the comfort of his husband’s arms.

“Papa?” Morgan said softly, scared for her dad. Even Tessa had gotten up and made her way over to the family, gently muzzling at Peter’s thigh.

“It’s ok honey. Papa’s been away a long time and he’s just upset. It’ll be ok. Oh oh Natasha! Can you play with Morgan for a bit?” Tony was trying to explain to his daughter as Natasha walked down from the driveway. Nodding to Tony before taking Morgan’s hands.

“Why don’t you show me that fairy garden you were talking about yesterday?” Natasha suggested.

“Oh. Yeah ok. Bye Papa. I love you.” Morgan said nervously before leading Natasha off. Tony sat silently, just rubbing Peter’s back and letting him cry. The sobs lasted for a whole hour before Peter let out his final sniffle, hiccuping as he pulled away from Tony slightly. Opening his mouth to speak but he was interrupted.

“No saying sorry. You are allowed to cry, honey. You’ve been through a lot. Do you want have a little nap? I know you get tired.” Tony offered before Peter could go into a spiel about how he was sorry, it seemed to settle the boy.

“Yeah. Can I say out here? It’s warm.” Peter asked quietly, his throat hoarse and sore.

“Of course baby.” Tony slowly laid down, letting Peter resting his head on his chest. He waited until the boy had gotten himself comfy before he ran his fingers through his brunette curls. Part of Peter getting comfortable was sneaky his hand under Tony’s shirt to rest on his waist, holding softly as though he was afraid Tony would leave if he wasn’t holding on to him. Slowly Peter fell asleep in the sun, soaking in the warmth from the sun and from his husband. He was safe, finally.

Because We Got High.

Relationship: Billy & Reader Warnings: Drug use (it’s just weed) & language. Words: 1,820  Tags: Fluff & humor.

Billy's been driving around for the last twenty minutes, music blaring and smoking cigarette after cigarette as he looks for Max. She was meant to be at one of her friends' houses, but the little shits apparently jumped from house to house without telling anyone. Everyone was meant to be at the Wheeler's- and boy was that fun having to see Karen Wheeler answer the door side-by-side with her husband, squirming and with pleading eyes to not utter a word of their previous flirtations- but the kids weren't there. So Billy drove to the Byers', and again no luck.

The Sinclair household only had one mouthy little girl that Billy briefly found amusing, and it was she who directed him to the Henderson's.

"Just walk right in," the little girl Erica had told him. "My brother and his friends will most likely ignore the doorbell and Ms. Henderson likes to chase her evening pills with alcohol."

"For being a kid, you know an awful lot about what Ms. Henderson does at night."

"I'm thirteen, you mullet wearing bastard." She had sassed him- actually sassed him before slamming the door in his face and all Billy could do was laugh about it.

The kid had fire and he liked it. It was rather refreshing.

Then having gotten back in his car, he memorized the directions to the Henderson household that Erica had given him and drove.

Pulling up outside the Henderson house, Billy stubs out his cigarette in the ashtray before cutting the engine and climbing out. The lights are all on inside, so he wastes no time stomping up to the front door and ringing the bell.

No answer.

He tries the door knob and it's locked.

"For fucks sake," Billy grumbles, growing agitated.

He then decides to pound on the door with a closed fist, but again there's no answer. There's a TV blaring somewhere inside, but he rather not start peeking through windows and risk the neighbors calling the cops on him. Instead he stomps around to the back of the house and is intent on pounding on the back door, yelling until someone answers him. But the moment he steps foot in the backyard, a strong familiar scent hits him full force and he stumbles to a stop before looking for the source.

Dusty and all his little friends had decided to come over and you knew there'd be no peace in order for you to watch a couple of movies as you had planned. They'd all congregated into Dustin's room which was just right next to yours and immediately they were a loud mess. So after making sure your mother was nice and tuckered out downstairs in front of the TV, you went back into your room and into your closet.

At the very top, very back of your closet was your secret stash of weed that was only smoked in emergency situations. And this? This was an emergency of boredom that you needed to quell right away.

So after making sure you had everything in your box, you tuck it under your arm and go back downstairs to exit the back door. In your backyard is the only thing left that reminds everyone of your fathers presence before he split- a large treehouse in the sturdiest tree that Dustin and his friends usually chilled out in when they weren't inside.

There's an actual staircase that wraps around the tree and you climb them all the way up to the house itself. Then plopping down in one of the bean bags, you set the box in your lap, open it up, and smile as you stare down at its contents.

After rolling a blunt and lighting up, you take a deep drag and let the smoke settle in your lungs before blowing it out. Drag after drag, your body starts to loosen up and you quickly find yourself sprawled on the floor of the treehouse.

You have more than enough weed for another blunt and you lazily start to roll another one.

Before you can light up, however, a voice stalls you.

"You do know the entire back yard smells like weed, right? You looking to be busted?"

Rolling over, you belly crawl to the door and look down. Standing in your backyard, looking far too handsome for his own good, is none other than Billy Hargrove. "You gonna be a narc, Hargrove?"

He walks over to the bottom of the stairs, eyes narrowing suspiciously. "Do I know you?"

"Nah. We don't have classes together, but you made an impression on all the little sheep at school. Name's Y/N. I'm Dustin's sister."

"Hmm." He glances at the house once more. "So can I just walk in and grab Max or..?"

"They got a D&D session going on, so good luck, man."

Billy huffs and turns around, stomping up to the back door and entering your house. You watch, lighting up your second blunt of the night and wait. A handful of minutes pass before Billy exits alone, looking a little more agitated than he had moments before.

Chuckling softly, you hold out the blunt so he can see the embers burning bright in the night. "Need a little relaxation while you wait? Come on up, Hargrove. I don't bite." Billy sighs but makes his way towards the stairs nonetheless. Laughing as he ducks to enter through the door, you roll onto your back and hold out the blunt towards him. "Welcome to Stoners Anonymous. I'm Y/N and I'll be your host this evening."

Billy's agitation is quickly wiped away and a smile takes place of his scowl. He takes the offered blunt and holds it to his lips, taking a long drag as he lets his head fall back and eyes close in pure bliss. Blowing out the smoke, he then takes a seat. "That's good. Who's your dealer?"

"A good customer never reveals her sources until at least the third smoking party."

"Whatever you say." He takes another hit, letting his gaze wander around the spacious treehouse. "You know, a good host usually has snacks for when the munchies hit."

On cue, your stomach rumbles and Billy chuckles as you groan. Cursing quietly, you sit up and crawl over to a stack of crates that act as a stand of cubbies. Pulling out a walkie talkie, you turn it on and hold down the button. "Calling all nerds. Calling all nerds. Take a break from D&D and bring me some noms. Over."

Billy grins, passing the blunt back to you. You take a drag as the walkie in hand crackles to life. "Are you high? Over." Someone giggles before it cuts out.

"As a kite. Now bring me some noms. Enough for two. Over."

"Two? How much did you smoke?!"

"Don't question me, Dusty, or I'm telling mom what really happened to Mews."

The walkie goes quiet, so Billy asks, "Mews?"

"Mhm," You distractedly nod. "Mom's cat that she fucking adored more than her own kids. My idiot brother brought home something feral and it ate Mews. We had to tell her, her beloved cat ran away."

"That's wild."

"Alright. What do you want? Over."

You first pump victoriously. "Pizza rolls."

Billy's nose wrinkles. "Screw that. You got cash? We'll drive and pick up burgers."

Your eyes widen as you beam at him. "You're my new favorite person! Here. Finish it," you tell him while passing the blunt back to him. "I'll go get some cash and shoes, and meet you out front."

Tossing the walkie aside, you watch as Billy picks it up to speak into it. "Cancel the rolls. Y/N and I are driving for food instead."

"Billy?!"

He smirks. "Hello, Maxine. Since you and your nerds are taking forever, I'm taking Y/N for food."

A bunch of rambling comes over the walkie and he clicks it off, tossing it on one of the bean bags. Then with the blunt between his lips, he exits the treehouse and saunters down the stairs.

By the time Billy makes it around front, you're standing rather impatiently in the middle of the sidewalk. All the kids are on the front stoop, glancing between you and him.

"So you two are friends?" Dustin asks. "Since when? You don't socialize, Y/N."

"Whatever. We officially met tonight. Shared a blunt and now we're the best of friends!"

"The best," he leers, coming up beside you and throwing an arm around your shoulders.

All the boys grimace.

"I don't like it." Dustin grumbles.

"Too bad. I didn't like Mike when he first came around."

"Hey!"

"No offense, Wheeler," you quickly amend. "And now look. I adore all you fuckin' gremlins, but that's about to change if you don't let me leave and get a burger."

"Fine!"

"Fine! Let's go, Hargrove."

Billy flicks the remainder of the blunt to the ground, smirking as he turns and leads you to his car. You readily open the passenger door and climb on in, waving at your brother and his friends who suspiciously keep watch of Billy. After settling in and Billy settling in as well, his engine roars to life and you laugh as AC/DC immediately blares at you.

He peels out in front of your house and you hang your right arm out the window to feel the wind rushing against it.

"Come on, Billy. Show me what your baby's got."

Glancing at you, Billy slowly smirks. He turns down one of the back roads, pressing harder on the gas and picking up speed. You laugh, leaning your head towards the opened window and letting your hair whip every which way. "Whoooo!" You scream.

As you settle back into your seat, your bright eyes land on Billy as he splits his attention between you and the road. "Where the hell have you been since I've been in Hawkins, Henderson?"

You waggle your eyebrows. "If you'd stop bullying Harrington, hot shot, you'd find me napping somewhere in the room."

He huffs. "Don't tell me you're fond of boy wonder?"

"Eh. Steve's decent." Billy scoffs. "No, I'm serious. If you boys would get over your egos or whatever shit is keeping you from actually being cool with each other, you'd see Steve is a hell of a lot more tolerable than Tommy. Because seriously, gross. You can do a lot better than Tommy, my dude."

"You talk a lot. I'm honestly surprised I've never met you before."

"Mhm. I think I'm possibly one of the last remaining females who hasn't taken you for a ride."

"Just name the time and place, sweetheart, and we'll rectify that."

"Smooth, Hargrove. Very smooth."

"I try."

"Well try driving faster because I've got a serious case of the munchies and if you don't feed me soon, I'm gonna get cranky."

He chuckles. "Whatever you say, Henderson. Whatever you say."

Renny’s BBSim: First Boots Week 12

Welcome back to Biiiiiiiiig Brother!

@ashleaevans @bathroom-sand @kaysarswhore @kayysarridha @kelleekim @lahallucinations @maxdoesbb @misshoh @music-obsessednerd @nerdphobic @nomwastaken @pawn2393 @phylisisley @remember-caltoru @rennyforpresident @shaolinbynature​

Previously, the house target (and the house target since like week 3) @kaysarswhore finally got the boot. Now that the obvious target is out, how will the final 4 cope?

Now that the glue for all the alliances, @kaysarswhore, is gone, there are no alliances left. There are still two former Block Destroyers in the house, and @shaolinbynature has managed to slip to the final 4 after her showmance partner was voted out.

The HOH competition has never been more critical.

@lahallucinations: “The worst move I made was…

A. Throwing competitions the first week

B. Sending @rennyforpresident home on my HOH”

The correct answer is B, and everyone gets a point! (no I’m not bitter why do u ask)

@remember-caltoru: “My biggest regret in the game is…

A. Not winning an HOH

B. Not turning on my alliance”

The correct answer is B again, and @shaolinbynature is the only one to get it correct

@nomwastaken: “My favorite moment in the house was…

A. Seeing @misshoh throw the pizza rolls

B. Watching @kaysarswhore burn down the kitchen”

The correct answer was A, and @pawn2393 was the only one to get it wrong, meaning the other two each got one point. The score is currently 3-2-1 in favor of @shaolinbynature.

@nerdphobic: “The worst moment for me in the BB house was…

A. Breaking the hammock and being mocked for it

B. Getting evicted”

The correct answer was B, and @misshoh was the only one to get it right. The @shaolinbynature and @misshoh are now tied for first, with @pawn2393 in last with one point.

@phylisisley: “If I could change one thing about my game, it would be…

A. not using the veto on @kaysarswhore

B. winning an HOH for myself”

The correct answer is A, and everyone gets it right. 

@kelleekim: “One thing I’ll never forget about the BB house is…

A. All of the fighting!

B. @nerdphobic breaking the hammock!”

The correct answer is B, and everyone gets it right again.

With only one question left, @pawn2393, it is impossible for you to catch up.

Final question. @kaysarswhore: “The best move I made in the house was…

A. convincing @phylisisley to use the veto on me

B. Winning 3 HOHs and 2 Veto competitions to secure my safety”

@shaolinbynature answers A. @misshoh answers B. The winner of this weeks HOH competition is…

@shaolinbynature! You have secured your safety for the week, and earned the right to nominate two of your fellow houseguests for eviction! And I’m pretty sure 5 HOHs in the same season is definitely a BB record!

@shaolinbynature in the DR: “I just need to win one more HOH next week, and the money is mine. I’m confident I can sweep a jury vote, I just need to make it there! The question is, who do I have the best shot of winning against?”

At the nomination ceremony, @shaolinbynature stands and makes her decision.

@shaolinbynature: “I have decided to nominate you, @misshoh and you @ashleaevans. My logic is simple here. @misshoh, we’ve never been on the same side of this house, and you’ve consistently gunned to get me out. I don’t want to go to the end with someone like that. @ashleaevans, we have been on the same side of the house, but you’re the bigger threat out of you and @pawn2393. It’s clear y’all will take each other, so it doesn’t make sense for me to risk my spot in final 2 with you. This nomination ceremony is adjourned.”

@misshoh in the DR: “I need to win this veto. Period. @pawn2393 will NOT have my back, and @ashleaevans will stay if noms stay the same. This is not the end of the road for me, mark my words.

@ashleaevans in the DR: “Noms don’t really matter, because everything is decided by the veto. As long as myself or @pawn2393 wins it, I’m good! I have my eyes on the prize, and that prize is half a million dollars baby.

@pawn2393 in the DR: “I have a big decision to make. If noms stay the same, do I stay loyal, or vote out the bigger threat? I don’t know what the right move is…”

This one is for all the marbles! The final veto of the summer gives the winner the chance to decide the final nominees, and decide who will cast the sole vote to evict. Everyone out here wants it, but only one person will walk away with the necklace.

The competition lasts for 25 minutes, and after a tense battle, one houseguest emerges victorious.

@pawn2393! You have won the FINAL Power of Veto of the summer!

@pawn2393: “My first comp win could NOT have come at a better time! I secured this guy, now I just need to make sure I make the right choice going forward.”

@pawn2393 has no choice but to not use the veto, and the nominees automatically stay the same.

Before eviction though, the houseguests are left to their own devices.

@ashleaevans and @pawn2393 are talking in the bedroom about the decision this week

@ashleaevans: “When we’re in final 3, we just have to take each other! This is best case scenario!”

@pawn2393: “I know! I just have to tip toe around @misshoh all week, I hope she takes the vote well.”

@pawn2393 in the DR: “I know that I’m telling him that I’m keeping him, but I’m not sure yet. @misshoh might be easier to beat in the end, and everybody knows I need someone that’s easy to beat.”

While these two are talking, @misshoh and @shaolinbynature are in the HOH room talking. 

@misshoh: “Those two are downstairs hamming it up, and you’re gonna get screwed in this final HOH. I hope you know that.”

@shaolinbynature: “I cannot beLIEVE that @pawn2393 won that. I should have taken it home, I can’t believe I fucked up at this point. If I lose this final HOH, what was even the point of all of this. Why did I even come back again?”

@shaolinbynature makes a lot of threats, but @misshoh convinces her that she’s not finished yet. Both of them need to campaign to keep @misshoh here, so @pawn2393 is their next target of conversation.

The morning of the eviction, @misshoh pulls @pawn2393 into the storage room.

@misshoh: “Listen, you know that if you keep him he’s winning this whole thing. You’re screwed unless you keep me, you know that, right?”

@pawn2393: “I just need to reason out if that’s true. The only jury vote I’d get would be from @ashleaevans if I’m up against you, and I don’t want to screw that up by betraying him.”

@misshoh: “You need to play with balls! This is the move that will let you gain the jury’s respect! Make it now!”

The time to evict has come!

(sorry for the shitty microsoft paint photoshop i am artistically talentless adsfkjh)

Arisa: “Hello houseguests! Let me introduce you to Julie Chen! We’ve made up, settled our differences, and now we’re doing this eviction together!”

Julie: “Yes! I’ve learned the error of my ways, and I’m excited to be back! Now, let’s hear those last minute pleas from our nominees!”

@misshoh: “My argument is this. @ashleaevans is not only the bigger competitive threat here, but the bigger social threat. If you are sitting next to him in the final 2, you will lose. The jury will vote for him. I’m not saying they won’t vote for me, but you have a better shot against me than him. Please, make this  move, and let’s start playing Big Brother.”

@ashleaevans: “ @pawn2393, you know I have had your back since the beginning. You’re my best friend in here, and there’s no way I’d ever betray you. I know you have my back, and I have full faith in you. That’s all.”

Arisa: “Whenever you’re ready, @pawn2393, please stand and cast your vote to evict.”

@pawn2393: “This decision was one that I did not take lightly, and I want both of you to know that I respect the hell out of you. But, I have to do what’s right in the game and in my heart. That being said…

Julie: “Come on out @misshoh​!”

Julie: “It’s good to see you, but I’m sure you didn’t want to see us! How was your time in the BB house?”

@misshoh​: “Honestly, this time was 10 times crazier than last time, but I still loved it that much more. I had a great time playing, even if I was a comp flop and a robbed 4th place queen!”

Arisa: “That you are! Why do you think @pawn2393​ chose to evict you over @ashleaevans​?”

@misshoh​: “My bet is just because they’re so close. There’s no reason for @pawn2393​ to sit in the end with @ashleaevans​ other than the fact that they’re BFFs. It’s personal and not BB, and I don’t think he made the right move.”

Julie: “Well we’ll see what the right move was when we see you tomorrow, where we crown the winner of Renny’s BBSim: First Boots.”

Arisa: “The finale is next! Who will be our supreme? Find out tomorrow. For now, from outside the Big Brother house, I’m Arisa Cox.”

Julie: “And I’m Julie Chen.”

Together: “And remember, someone is aaaaaaaaalways watching!”

@misshoh​! Fills the role of the 4th place robbed queen and we will MISS YOU!

But finale night is tomorrow!!! I haven’t looked at the results so idk who wins this but goddamn if this wasn’t a season for the books
