#Plus! The dress zipped up with no problem for the first time!!

[spikeisawesome456]

My brother and I went to this neat art installation in Tokyo today, and it was super cool! I dressed up in my cutesy dress and my brother (very kindly) took my picture. These were my favorite, from the garden section.

If you’re ever in Japan, I highly recommend TeamLabs! This installation was Planets, but yesterday my brother and I went to their other one in Tokyo called Borderless and it was also so cool. More projection based art in that one, while Planets is more physical. For example, we had to be barefoot because at two places in the installation we had to walk through water (which is why I’m barefoot in the photo ha). One was flowing the other was almost knee deep. Super cool.

papamin finding out you and yuuji are dating

a/n: THIS WAS SO CITE TO WRITE MY HEART

nanamis first time dressing you up was for a corporate christmas party.

he called his mother, asking for advice. eventually, his neighbor who so happened to be a kind lady with kids around your age helped you. after a few lessons, he learned. from them on, he dressed you up, doing your hair.

nanami didnt believe in leaving you behind, bringing you to every party and event he possibly could. something about you having him by his side, plus you kept everyone entertained, always telling them about how your daddy was a superhero and that he’s a hard worker.

-

nanami’s last time dressing you up was your formal dance.

he zipped your black dress up, moving your hair back into place. you turned around, waddling in front of your mirror. “what do you think?” you place your hands on your hips, cheesing. “i think you look beautiful, hun. as always.” he smiled at you. three quick knocks echoed through your home. “i’ll get it.” nanami left the room quickly before he started tearing up.

it long after, itadori bursted into your room, flowers in his hand. pink, the same shade as his hair. “these are for you!” he handed them to you, politely bowing. “thank you.” you hug him. “hey, you got a haircut!” you run your hands through his somewhat combed through hair.

god, you two were not beating the dating allegations. (that were very true, but you were terrified of your father finding out you were dating itadori.)

“do you like it?” “love it.” “i love your dress, black is your color.” “thanks!” you blushed. nanami cleared his throat. “sorry, nanamin!” itadori turned red, facing him. “photos?” nanami pulled out his phone. “you know it!” you grinned. itadori placed his hand in a respectable place, his grin wide and cheese flushed.

nanami took a couple, before turning around and taking a surprise selfie. “beat you to it.” he chuckled. “it’s okay, i got you earlier and you didn’t even know it.” you stuck your tongue out.

“alright. let’s get going, you two. be back before curfew and have lots of fun, okay?” nanami waved the both of you off. “yes, dad. i love you!” “love you, hun.” he watched as your and itadori made it down the stairs.

-

“that was a lot of fun. i wish jujustu had more dances.”

“oh, for sure. i didn’t even get to show you all of mine!” itadori laughed. “thanks for walking me back.” you leaned against his shoulder. “not a problem.” he blushed. the boys dorm wasn’t far from the mentors homes, anyway.

“i’ll see you tomorrow at training. and thanks for the shoes by the way.” you scratch your neck. itadori had taken his shoes off and tried his best to tie them tight after your heels had given you blisters. “no problem, anything for you.” he took the key to your house, opening the door.

“i love you.” itadori leaned down, giving you a quick kiss. “you be safe. don’t be late, i love you.” you waved him off, grinning from ear to ear.

“well, you certainly didn’t tell me you had a lover.” “dad!” you jumped up high, hand over your chest. there you stood, lipstick smudged and itadori’s suit jacket over you, with his huge shoes on your feet. nanami stared in confusion. “my feet hurt. and i got cold.”

nanami pointed at his lips, eyebrows furrowed. “oh.” you covered your lips. “im just messing with you. you two aren’t so secretive as you think.” nanami laughed. that was the day nanami realized you weren’t his little girl anymore.

WIBTA for suggesting my girlfriend eats less?

(🫠 so i can find it later)

I know immediately it sounds insane but please I need advice. Also sorry it’s so long this is a sensitive topic and I want to treat it as such.

So my (24F) girlfriend (22F) has been trying to lose weight for about 9 months now. I let her offer up what info she wants but never ask because I don’t want to add pressure, and i’ve struggled with an ED and witnessed as my mom has struggled with her weight since I was born so I understand how hard it can be. But my girlfriend is as gorgeous as ever. And I know she’s been as active as possible so Idk why she’s so hard on herself.

My mom eats healthier than anyone I’ve ever known. When I was younger I watched her go through phases with taking on some weird diet that never really worked. She once told me she recognized her real problem is stopping when she’s “full” and not what she eats. She was insecure about that fact because she almost starved as a teenager. I tried to encourage her to accept her body if eating what she wants makes her happy. But she always says she isn’t happy when she’s not eating & only would be if she felt “sexy” again.

I’m starting to see a similar struggle in my love. She asked to go to the gym together, so I bought us a gym membership. We try to get there 3x a week for at least an hour each time. But she’s in her final semester before graduating so we stopped going as much about a month or two ago. She keeps talking about losing weight so her graduation dresses will fit better but I think they fit perfect. I zipped them myself. She never wears dresses or skirts, favoring baggy clothing and streetwear, so I think she’s just not used to the sensation of a form-fitting dress.

She joined a coed soccer team that would meet weekly for a month. I went to her games, she goes hard. She’s also started going for runs twice a week after work with a coworker. They did 3 miles one day! That’s still 3 days a week she’s been working out, plus the occasional day or two every other week we manage to get out to the gym.

She has taken to blaming me for us not going to the gym, not directly but will whine at me with a pointed tone, as if begging me to go to the gym after she told me we couldn’t go. I try to ignore it since I know she’s having a hard time and mostly venting. But if I agree and offer to drive us, she always has too much homework. Even if she’s been sitting on tiktok for an hour.

I do all the cooking for us. After she complained about not making progress I started serving us both smaller portions. Now she gets seconds after meals and will complain about being snackish or wanting a sweet treat less than 30 minutes after we’ve ate. If I stand firm on no treats (which is rare), she pouts. She refuses to get a treat without me, if I tell her she can go get one if she wants she won’t. If I give in, then later I feel guilty like I enabled her. And she’ll guilt trip me for it too. And then she’s unhappy about not losing any weight again and the cycle continues.

She’s got a broad build and a naturally curvy body. When she talks about being her ideal size/shape again, it’s always in photos of her at 14-17. I keep trying to instill in her that she can get muscular and fit but still might not look like that again because she was a child. She dismisses me every time and will compare her body to mine since we’re the same height, but I have different genetics and an overactive metabolism.

She’s active, healthy, muscular, and is maybe 30 lbs over the BMI for her height and age. I don’t believe in the BMI, just stating for reference reasons. Some of that “overweight” is definitely likely muscle since she said she gained weight after we first started going to the gym. She would not believe me when I said you gain muscle before you lose fat, even though she’s learned this in her major. In my eyes to have the kind of toning that she wants— and that athletes her shape have— she probably only needs to lose like 10-15 lbs. You can see the line of musculature on her thighs as she is. She eats way healthier than most college students because she’s a medical major and really cares about body health. I think a lot of her desire to lose weight comes from the athleticism of the PT’s she works with.

She continues to nitpick at her other behaviors (i.e. having a yasso icecream twice a week) that are far less “harmful” to her goals than overeating. But I fear it will cause a rift in our relationship if I try to suggest that to her.

I want to help her on her journey and the way she blames me makes me feel like I need to do more to help, but the only thing I can think to suggest is something I would never recommend on my own, let alone to my girlfriend who I think is beautiful as is. I don’t want her to think by me suggesting smaller portions that I have a problem with her perceived lack of progress. I only have a problem with being treated like it’s my fault she isn’t losing weight. When I tell her she looks amazing as she is she just tells me I’m biased because I love her.

I don’t feel it’s my place but Idk what else to do. So WIBTA if I told her that she should try to eat smaller portions rather than dieting since she’s already physically active and eats healthy?

Best Buddies: Chapter 3 (Modern Benedict Bridgerton x plus size!fem!reader)

✨Masterlist✨

✨Last Chapter✨

Benedict fastened his cufflinks onto his sleeves, "Love, are you ready?"

"I'm almost ready, I need your help," Y/n walked into his bedroom from the bathroom, having just finished her makeup. She turned her back to Benedict, "Could you zip me up?"

Benedict placed his hand on her waist, drawing her closer to himself. Selfishly, his eyes ate up the sight of her exposed skin while they could. Benedict gently zipped up the back of her dress, "This dress is lovely."

Y/n turned around and smiled, "Thank you, your mum picked it out."

"She has good taste, I must say," He smiled, not shy about checking her out in the dress, but it wasn't anything new, they loved to flirt.

Y/n blushed, looking up at Benedict, "I'm glad you like it, she has great taste." She slipped on her heels and checked her hair one last time in the mirror.

Benedict looked at her through the mirror, "You look perfect, don't worry, everyone will love you."

Y/n turned around and placed her hands on his chest, "Thank you, Benny."

He chuckled, "Someday, you must find a better nickname for me." He grabbed his weekend bag and car keys, "Let's go, love."

Y/n picked up her clutch purse and weekend bag, "I'm right behind you."

Benedict locked the front door of their flat after them, then pocketed his keys, walking down the stairs with Y/n. He kept an eye on her and a hand on her back, it made him nervous when she walked down stairs in heels.

Y/n felt the nervousness radiating from Benedict, "You need not worry about me, I'm perfectly fine to walk in heels. I'm a big girl, Benny." She entered the parking garage as Benedict held the door open for her, "Thank you." Y/n made a bee line for Benedict's car, her fingertips lightly grazing the rear of her car as she passed it.

Benedict took her weekend bag from her hand, putting it, along with his, in the boot of his car. He moved to open the passenger door for Y/n, "Ladies first."

Y/n blushed softly and smiled, sitting down in the car, "Such a gentleman, I can only imagine how well your future girlfriend will be treated."

Benedict rounded the front of the car and she buckled herself in, he muttered to himself, "If only you knew, love." He climbed into his seat, turning the car on.

Once on the road, Benedict's hand found purchase on Y/n's thigh, while Y/n's hand rested around his bicep. They sat in a comfortable silence, filled with music they loved and the occasional comment or joke. They didn't need the constant conversation, they were enjoying the moment.

~

Upon arriving at Benedict's family's country home, Aubrey Hall, Benedict parked his car and gently patted Y/n's thigh, "Ready to party? I'll take our bags up, you join the fun, and I'll catch up with you." Y/n was about to protest, possibly suggest that she'd help him with the bags, but Benedict spoke, "Go, have fun, I won't be long at all." He leapt out of the car, quick to the passenger side, opening the door for her.

Y/n took the hand Benedict offered to her as she stepped out of the car. He thought she looked like a celebrity, styled to perfection and poised like royalty. Y/n looked up at him, she could have sworn he looked like a prince that night. She smiled, "Fine, don't be long." She kissed his cheek in parting and made her way to the courtyard where she heard chatter coming from.

Benedict carried the weekend bags into the home and made his way to his room, placing his bag on his bed. He trekked around the house, looking for a suitable room for Y/n, but all seemed to be occupied by guest's belongings. Benedict walked down to the kitchen and caught his mother, "Mother, I was wondering if there was a room for Y/n to stay in."

Violet smiled, "Hello to you too, dearest. I had assumed you two would be sharing a room, you are so very close with one another. Is that a problem, dearest?" Violet was no fool, she knew exactly what she was doing.

Benedict nodded, "It's fine, Mother, I'll inform her of the sleeping arrangement." He kissed her cheek, then walked back up to his bedroom, resting Y/n's bag next to his on his bed.

~

Y/n was greeted by Daphne, she hugged Daphne close, "Hello, Daph, how is my favorite graduate?" She had known Daphne since Daphne was only eight years old. Daphne always saw Y/n as the older sister she never had.

Daphne returned the hug and smiled, "I'm well, I have missed you around the house though."

Y/n held Daphne's hand, "I have missed you too, my little flower, and we have all weekend to catch up."

Daphne smiled wide, excited to spend time with her chosen sister. Daphne saw Benedict approaching, "Hello, Brother, glad to see you made it."

Benedict gave her a side hug and kissed her head, "You as well, Daphne." He moved to rest his hand on Y/n's lower back, enjoying seeing Y/n be a part of his family, it was as if she was already his, in a way. Benedict gently guided her, "Daph, if you'll excuse us, I'd like to introduce Y/n to more of our family."

Daphne smiled, understanding, "Have fun, and Y/n, I'll see you later, I must steal you from my brother soon this weekend."

Y/n smiled, "Of course, my flower." She cupped Daphne's jaw in her hands and kissed Daphne's forehead. Daphne was Y/n's flower because Daphne always brought Y/n flowers she'd picked. Daphne blushed and nodded, going off to find her younger siblings.

~

After a long night of introductions, Benedict lead Y/n to his bedroom, but not before Violet intercepted the pair. She smiled warmly, clearly tipsy, "My dearests!" She hugged Y/n close and a bit tight, "You look marvelous, love. Thank you for coming, the party would not have been the same without you. You are a Bridgerton, dearest, in every way that matters." Violet couldn't think of anyone better for her second son to be with.

Y/n couldn't help but grin, "Thank you, Violet, that means so much to me."

Violet touched Y/n's cheek, "I know I'm not sober right now, but I meant every word, dearest. I should retire for the night. Goodnight." She looked at Benedict, "Goodnight, dearest. Take care of our Y/n."

Benedict kissed his mother's cheek, "I always do. Goodnight, Mother." He opened his bedroom door for Y/n, she walked through and Benedict closed the door behind them, "She's right, you know, you are a Bridgerton in every way that matters. My whole family loves you."

Y/n pulled a pin out of her hair, letting it fall down over her shoulders, "I love your family. They fuss over me like my family fusses over you. I'm sure sometimes my mother prefers you and your artistic soul to my analytical brother."

Benedict chuckled as he removed his bowtie, "Your mother is an artistic soul, she must be where you get yours from." He slipped off his tux coat, "Are you sure you're comfortable sharing a bed?" Benedict was more than happy to share his bed with her, but he didn't want to cross any boundaries that would make her uncomfortable.

Y/n slipped her heels off, "Of course, it wouldn't be the first time we shared a bed, Benny."

Benedict nodded, "It wouldn't be, but it's not quite the same environment."

Y/n entered the connected bathroom, washing the make-up off her face, "We have shared a bed here before."

Benedict leaned in the doorway, "Yes, but it was just us and my immediate family, not extended family and other guests."

Y/n patted her face dry with a small towel, "I suppose that's true, but anyhow, I don't see us sharing a bed as a problem."

Benedict nodded, "I don't either, I just wanted to make sure that you're comfortable with sharing a bed with me."

Y/n turned to look at Benedict, "You are sweet, Benny." She walked past him, opening her weekend bag and retrieving her pajamas; Benedict's school shirt from secondary school and shorts that hugged her bum just right.

After changing into her pajamas, she walked back into the bedroom and looked in the mirror. She was never thin, but she had accepted that, and normally she was confident, but everyone is allowed a moment of insecurity.

Benedict could sense her internal debate, he stood behind her, resting his hands on her waist, "Hey, you are beautiful, never doubt that."

Y/n rested her head on his shoulder, "Thank you."

Benedict gently squeezed her waist, "You are. The Greeks sculpted beautiful goddesses who could be your twin."

Y/n turned around in his arms, burying her face in his shoulder, "Thank you." Her words carried a tone of acceptance and appreciation. She always found comfort and solace in his arms. She looked up at him, "Why are you still mostly in your suit? It's been a long day, get comfortable."

Benedict kissed her head, then opened his weekend bag, picking out a comfortable cotton t-shirt and loose fitting pajama pants. He entered the bathroom and changed clothes, finding the need to tuck his member into his waistband in an effort to hide his boner the best he could. He had been sporting one since he saw her in her party gown, but he was a gentleman, and he wouldn't impose himself on her.

Upon exiting the bathroom, Benedict picked up his box of cigarettes. He knew it was a nasty habit, one he wanted to kick, but it was hard. He stepped out onto the balcony of his bedroom, overlooking the courtyard.

Y/n walked out into the opposite side of the balcony, "Benedict, I do wish you'd quit that terrible habit. I want you around for as long as possible, in the best possible condition, at that."

Benedict took a drag of his cigarette, "So you don't want me to smoke cigarettes, but joints are fine?"

Y/n raised an eyebrow at him, "You won't get cancer from weed, Benny."

Benedict nodded and finished his cigarette, "I know, love. I want to quit, I do." He touched her waist and pulled her close, he went to kiss her forehead, but felt her hand on his chest.

Y/n gently patted Benedict's chest, "How about this for motivation, you cannot kiss me at all until you've kicked the cigarettes."

Benedict couldn't have come up with a better motivation if he tried.

° ˖ ✧ Sibling Quarrels ✧˖°

(This was the winner of the poll therefore the first story I make!! <33. I know @wtafmargot wanted to see this fic especially so I decided to tag them so they could see it faster!)

“B-but myeemmmm!! I have plans!! I can’t babysit Kiara!!!”

“Too bad, Keith, I have plans.”

“B-but cmon!! Please!! My friends are literally sitting here waiting to go!!”

Two-bit said as he put his hand a bit behind and to the right side of him to showcase a very awkward and embarrassed set of greasers standing behind him, Johnny’s head which had previously been awkwardly tilted down as he tried not to watch his friend fight with his mom instantly shot up upon attention being brought to him. Johnny looked to the side to Steve, while, meanwhile, was spaced out and in his own little world right now, he blinked back into consciousness and looked around, his face turning red upon realizing all the attention had turned to him.

“We can just leave, it’s no problem two, or your sister could come with us…?” Johnny said sweetly, trying to offer a compromise. Steve was about to throw a fit about ‘not wanting no damn little kids with them’ and ‘not wanting to babysit’ but Johnny gave him a sort of look which told Steve to shut the fuck up for once.

“I’m sorry boys but I just don’t want her going out, plus keith’d have to be home by 7:30 anyways cause that’s her bed time.” Two-bits mom said with a sweet smile. “You boys better get going, Keith can come next time.”

“Bu!-“ “zip it Keith.” “Ok….”

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚

“So…. Uh… what do you do…” Two-bit said awkwardly as he looked down at his 6 year old sister “Where’s mommy?” She said with her big eyes as she looked up at her older brother. All two-bit could think was ‘Jesus Christ this bitch got some big ass bug eyes.’ Ever since Kiara got glasses her eyes have been 5x bigger thanks to them and two-bit could NOT get over how hilarious he thought it was. Keith had never had a really close relationship with his sister, Kiara, I mean, they’re 12 years apart so nobody could really blame him but his mom still wished they could’ve spent a bit more time together and hung out more.

“She had to go somewhere” “where” “I don’t know” “why don’t you know” “because I don’t” “why” “because” “but why”

Keith’s responses were basically cut off but how fast his sister piped out responses, starting to get overwhelmed already by her questions.

“I DON'T KNOW KIARA JUST STOP.”

He practically yelled. Kiara looked up at him with her big brown eyes and then bursted into tears. “No, no, no, Kiara I’m sorry… hey…. Hey… don’t cry….”

Two-but said in the softest voice he could manage. Kiara turned her back to him with a pout, sitting on the floor to cry. Keith picked her up off of the floor and tried to calm her down. “Hey, uhm, how about I make you grilled cheese…? Or— uh… want to go walk to the store and get some candy…?”

Upon the mention of candy, Kiara’s eyes lit up. She immediately agreed and off they went to the store. Keith had been trying to save up his pocket money for something he’s really been wanting for a while but… His sister was worth it to him. He let her pick out a few things and only got himself a soda and a bag of chips. They quickly headed home.

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚

“Two-bit!!” Soda said happily as he bursted into Keith’s front door. Opening his eyes to see two bit sitting across from his sister on a little kid’s table, a cup of weird looking unknown liquid in front of him. His face was decorated with very messy and smeared makeup and rhinestones. He had a pink tutu, a crown, and pink fairy wings over his clothes, his sister in a princess dress, fairy wings, and a crown sitting across from him. The rest of the gang pushed themselves through the door behind him. They all started to cackle upon seeing him. “HAHAHA- TWO BIT WHA?!-“ “she wanted to have a tea party” he said with a goofy smile on his face. “What are you guys doing here anyways?” “We decided that if you couldn’t come with us we’d stay with you” Dally said with a smile. Two-bit and his sister exchanged glances and had that same mischievous smiles on their faces. “Well… since you’re here… there’s enough fairy wings and tutus for everyone.” And after a bit they were all having a tea party.

My problem with Sarada’s timeskip outfit

I wasn’t going to do this but with the number of times i have seen that outfit on my FY page on other platforms, I kinda wanna gauge my eyes out.

But I’ll refrain from that and explain why I don’t like it. If you like it that’s your thing.

I won’t be too mean so let’s get to the Pros first.

- This is Ikemoto’s own flare and I respect that. Kishimoto did encourage him to do this own thing rather than copy his style, and he’s doing it, so that’s a plus.

- It helps separate Kishi’s and Ike’s work better.

- It’s kinda cool and fashionable once you get use to it. The outfit is also a continuation of her pre timeskip ( which is also problematic for me)

However, for me the Cons outweighs the Pros about 3 times at least

1. It doesn’t suit Sarada as a person.

She’s quite level-headed and practical since the beginning of the series. Sarada also doesn’t express her emotions openly. She’s not much of a fashion gal who needs to dress cute and sexy all the time as well.

She’s also a responsive and active girl.

As we know, outfit is a big part of character design, it shows the readers part of the character’s characteristics, and we can understand which vibes they gonna give off.

Heels and loose jackets don’t help indicate the activeness, maturity and seriousness that Sarada has.

The jacket and the shoes being big and heavy don’t indicate a powerful taijutsu user who has Chidori ( a technique that is speed based) as one of her arsenal.

Various accessories don’t show a girl who is efficient and analytical right on the spot.

So a drippy and ngl sexy outfit doesn’t help showing what kind of person she actually is.

2. The design doesn’t match the world building

Yes this is peace time, yes it is also a fantasy world, but Naruto character designs have always been more functionalities oriented. Tell me you look at a basic jounin outfit and say it doesn’t scream life bulletproof jacket.

However it’s still a fantasy so not everything has to 100% be functionalism because if that’s the case then they’ll all wear bulletproof jackets.

If you see the main designs of each period you can see how it evolved over time: from samurai-ish armor to bulletproof style jacket and lighter version of it in Boruto time.

This problem comes in 2 parts

- It hinders Sarada’s very own power

She has her mother’s strength and her father’s ninjutsu, which requires her being fast and active. A big bomber jacket which is always fallen on one shoulder ( and stay there with all of her movements smh ) doesn’t help her very physical fighting style.

And you better tell me how this kind of sleeves does not hinder her hands’ signs, esp the thumbs.

- The design contradicts a very crucial element of Naruto’s clothing design: Maneuverability

This one is quite a controversial and people have screamed left and right about this so I’ll just argue some stuff they said

1. Heels are not a problem. She can fight in heels since there were other women in Naruto did that.

Yes and no.

Yes theoretically she can. However Sarada as an active teen Chunin won’t do that.

The famous examples of women who fight in heels were Mei, Tsunade and Konan. However Konan often turns herself into paper and she floats/ flies a lot so she didn’t even need her legs as much lol.

Mei and Tsunade are straight up Kages, they don’t have to fight that often. And when they have to fight, it’s either ambush or a sudden wtf thing appears out of nowhere.

If you look at every Chunin girl designs, none of them fight in heels. Especially those taijutsu specials aka Tenten, Hinata and her mom!

2. There are ppl who wear long coats but still can fight so can she. ( aka the Akatsuki and Hinata)

The coat is part of the character designs to help gives off a cool, dangerous and mysterious vibe for the new villain, so that the readers can be hooked and keep reading.

Still the coat is quite easy to move in even when it’s zipped up.

The lower part ( idk what to call it ) can still split apart after that.

Hinata has a big jacket but it’s to show her shyness and introverted nature, and she zips that shit up wtf.

Summary:

I guess my very main problem is that it doesn’t suit Sarada’s very own character, the others are just favour to the main dishes.

Thank you for reading till the end. I’m also happy to hear other takes on this.

[heckinconfusedparade]

It's fine my dude but I do have an actual ask what would the brothers first attempt at wearing full clothes be like I mean sonic and tails wore those jackets and stuff but that was a necessity what about everyday stuff would schools make them wear clothes or no.

The schools try. They try their damndest to get clothes on those kids.

The boys decided to try it out. Shirts? That’s ok. It just has to be a zip or button up because of their big ol noggins. And Sonic has to have a hole in the back for his quills.

Pants? Nope. As soon as the pants were on, the 3 of them forgot how to move. They stand there like a dog wearing a harness for the first time, staring at their parents with so much sorrow.

Sonic has grown an appreciation for skirts and dresses tho. He likes the flow, and it’s easy to run in them. Plus he looks fucking fabulous.

Tom and Maddie have a discussion with the school board. They come to the agreement that the boys can wear clothes if they wish. But they must wear their school jerseys at school related events. Sonic and Knuckles for sports, and Tails for robotics tournaments.

Some parents and teachers do get upset. It becomes a problem every once in a while.

And Sonic starts a trend amongst the boys at school. Skirts during sports has become quite the craze amongst the male population.

Year End Wrap-ups

Why not. Here’s the first list. Games I played a lot of, but absolutely will not finish in the next week. Because they’re huge games.

cyberpunkdreams A Fallen London clone, i.e. a text RPG where the primary gameplay is clicking on storylets (i.e. "I am scouring the streets for resources") and slowly building up qualities and trading them for other qualities, i.e. a story-rich grind game. This certainly has a better balance of story-to-grind than the endless middle of Fallen London than I'm stuck on. It also does some interesting things with gender presentation and I'm not even 100% sure I hate how deliberate every major and many minor actions have to be (are you dressed appropriately to go to that place? Do you have enough bullets to do this thing?). It is, however, still a lot of grind and a lot of grind in a really aggressively unpleasant setting and a lot of grind in a game with permadeath. There's more than a seed of something really good here, but it's also kind of a drain to play in every way. Done with it again. Elden Ring Ah yes, the game that finally pushed me into the "oh, I can play difficult action RPGs" bucket and also, really, "I enjoy difficult action RPGs". I'm not great at playing on our PS5 and have just picked this up again on PC, the better to start it again with a somewhat-less magic-heavy build, and it's a fun and compelling game. Part of what makes it great is the horsie. Fantastic horsie. Fast as thought and jumps like a hare. Zipping across the map rather than careful, iterative progression is a joy and what makes this From Software game by far the most accessible. Kynseed A life sim more than a farming sim, and sort of a hodgepodge of systems at that. The narrative appears to be largely "uh, keep engaging with our systems and numbers will tick up", but it is enjoyable for all that. The combat is chunky and on the difficult side, and the pixel art is incredible and if you don't really feel like farming, it's a pretty small percentage of what you do. The mini-games -- well, they're trying to rebalance them. One day I may successfully make jam. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Second attempt's the charm, I guess. It's a marvelous game to wander around, but the horsie is not as good as in Elden Ring, which is a bit of a problem. On the other hand, glider. Wonderful glider. Get up high and go soaring over the landscape. There is also a plot which is engaging, it is, but I do honestly find any interruption to exploring the map a comparative chore. Monster Hunter Rise The ultimate kill-beautiful-monsters-to-make-pants simulator and it's a lot of fun with great designs. Some real pathos in killing these magnificent creatures, though. Humans-as-endurance predators. Sometimes hard to hear the frustrated, furious wail as I corner some great fur-or-feathered scaly thing in its den yet again. Nioh 2 Hard-as-shit, but more generous than a from software game in giving you tons of gear and anima-soul-bits. Colorful, too, palette of greens and reds, over-the-top storytelling that's still elliptical and hard to follow. You turn into a yokai but it helps less than you might think. :( A good time. Meditative in a strange way. Lots of weapon variety. also dress-up elements. Red Dead Redemption 2 The great cowboy life-sim and dress-up game where you do in fact have to shoot people sometimes and ruin your groove of dominos-playing, theater-watching, and sunset ambling. Should actually approach the plot again. Horsies are of course essential. Don’t leave home without one. Stardew Valley Finally dug into this 'un, but didn't quite complete a year of game time on the Switch. Gonna restart on PC with some mods to get the full-plus-extra experience now. I'm starting to sort of get the groove of farming sims, if I still don't understand why this particular one sits so high for so many people. Really like fishing mini-games, maybe?? Witcher 3 Wild Hunt I've played it before! Here I am playing it again. Turns out I forgot huge chunks of this huge-ass RPG with dozens and dozens of short stories appended to its main quest and it's a pleasure to revisit, even if I don't have any appreciation for the Bloody Baron storyline in This Year of Hells. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I may still want it to be Xenoblade X, but I actually like this cast of 3, even if I do get less interested in the main plot as it continues (a common problem). The main antagonists are appealingly bonkers and making each settlement its own node with its own successive sidequests is a good touch. The landscape is beautiful and endless. I write about it and do want to go back to it. Perhaps after Harvestella??

New body, old clothes

I know I said I wouldn’t be updating weekly but I felt like this was important. I went out today in a vintage dress that before couldn’t be zipped up, but now I’m floating around in it. I have soooooo many pieces of clothing I now have to go through. Consignment stores around me suck. Online reselling is a full time job. In my area there are a lot of resellers so fuck them I’m not gonna donate clothes for free so they can get them for penny’s then resell them so I’m stuck (or stubborn.) I now have to try on all my clothes without my faja to see what fits my new body. It’s a champagne problem I know but still.

It’s so crazy how tiny I feel without my faja. This surgery has been life changing.

Everyday is a new day trying to get used to my new body. When I wrote the above I was having a good body day. Today I’m having a bad body day where I feel like my arms are getting flabby….im contacting a personal trainer tomorrow. Group Pilates classes isn’t enough for me. I want private Pilates classes.

I can no longer wear double compression; meaning I can no longer wear a bodysuit shaper with my faja…which is a problem because I hate wearing the faja on my bare skin. I bought 7 different “seamless” tank tops on amazon and they all suck. I really think I have a shirt torso and that’s why none of the tank tops work. First personal training session is on Friday. My last two Lympatic massages are this week. I’m considering getting them done once a week just for drainage purposes but I haven’t decided yet. I’m going to Florida next week so I want to do a cleanse, get a spray tan, pedicure and my hair done. I’ve been taking a break from all beauty treatments and focusing on my healing. I must say I LOVE not having my nails done. I hate getting them done. There’s something hot about being all put together and not having your nails done, not even polish. But Miami is a different beast and you have to look your best.

Wearing a faja is getting on my last nerve. I hate it. It doesn’t help with shaping (your surgeon has to do that) but I will say it helps curb your appetite lol you’re squeezed so tight you don’t want to eat lol that’s why you hear all these girls claiming to wear your faja for a year plus, it’s so you don’t gain too much weight.

All my clothes look so much better on me. 3 months post op I’ll post before and after photos of it. It’s fucking crazy how it looks subtle but it’s actually a big difference when comparing. I think back lipo is the most important thing you should get. That’s what really shapes your body, not your stomach. Now I’m focusing on building muscle because I’ll be wearing low cut dresses all summer

18 Camping Hacks With Kids

By AuthorStephanie Lamberth

In a world where vacation prices seem to keep increasing, having an affordable family travel option is more important than ever. Camping gear is a one-time investment you can use again and again, and camping with kids can create memories that will last a lifetime.

If taking small children with you on a camping trip seems intimidating, it doesn’t have to be. We’ve compiled a list of camping hacks with kids that will make your trip exponentially more manageable and enjoyable.

Read on to learn how to make camping with kids a breeze!

Choose Campsite Wisely When camping with kids, it’s essential to choose your campsite wisely.

If your kids are young and newly potty trained, getting as close as possible to the bathhouse should be your goal. The last thing you want is to be trekking across the entire campground for an emergency bathroom trip in the middle of the night.

Older kids may not need the bathroom proximity, but all kids would enjoy being near a playground! Being near the playground means you can give your kids a little independence by sending them on their own while still being able to keep an eye on them from your site. It’s a win-win!

Try It Out at Home Your family camping trip shouldn’t be the first time your kids sleep in a tent.

Take a trial run in the backyard. Set up the whole shebang– tent, sleeping bag, night light, all of it.

This way, your kids experience all the “new” that comes with camping in a low-commitment situation. You can add some light to your trip if it’s too dark. You’ll know to bring a sound machine if the noises are too loud. You can bring thicker jammies if the sleeping bag isn’t warm enough.

Most of the problems you may encounter are easy fixes. Practicing will alleviate the frustration of trying to solve them on the fly.

Pre-Prep Food Camping with kids is a hands-on activity. The less time you spend prepping meals at the campground, the better.

Some easy meals can be prepped almost entirely before you leave your house.

Pancakes– Measure out pancake mix and put it in a Ziploc bag. Bring a liquid measuring cup, add the needed water, and mush it all together in the bag. Cook on a cast iron skillet over the fire. Burritos– Pre-make burritos (breakfast or regular) and wrap them in foil. Reheat them over the fire and enjoy! Chili– Pre-cook the meat and either pre-slice the veggies or buy them presliced. Add the meat, vegetables, beans, and broth to a cast iron dutch oven and let it all heat up together before enjoying. S’mores Kit– Pack sandwich baggies with two graham crackers, a marshmallow, and a piece of chocolate for a ready-to-roast s’more.

Invite Friends Life is more fun with friends, and camping is no exception! A hack for camping with kids is doing it with another family.

Not only will your kids have built-in playmates, but the parents can also split the load of caring for everyone. Plus, you can put the kids to bed and enjoy a drink around the campfire together at the end of the day.

Pack Outfits in Baggies Pack each child’s daily outfit in a zip-top bag to make getting ready each morning a breeze. Small children’s outfits will fit in a quart-sized baggie, while older children may need gallon-sized. Include a top, bottom, pair of underwear and socks in each bag.

When it’s time to get dressed, grab a single bag, and you’ll have everything the kid needs for a fun day of camping!

Glowstick Bracelets as Tent Pulls While we’re including this in a post about camping hacks with kids, this is a handy tip for any camper, no matter their age!

Once the sun goes down, campsites get dark. To make getting in and out of your tent easier at night, put a glowstick bracelet through the hole in each zipper so you can easily see and grab them.

They’ll stop glowing by the morning, so bring enough to put in each zipper each night of your trip.

Pool Noodles Over Tent Lines If you’ve ever been camping in a tent, you’ve probably tripped over a tent line. To make camping with kids safer, make those lines easier to see!

Before your trip, pick up a foam pool noodle for each line on your tent. Use a knife or sharp scissors to cut one side and slip it over the tent line once your site is set up.

The pool noodles are much larger and brighter than the thin tent lines, making them much easier to avoid.

Pack Lots of Layers There is some deeply engrained hatred of coats inside most children. They think they’d rather freeze to death than wear one. But the truth is, if your kid is cold on a camping trip, nobody will have fun.

Instead of fighting the coat fight, take a layers approach.

The same kid who won’t wear a coat probably won’t bat an eye at wearing a long-sleeved thermal tee and a sweatshirt.

Layering their clothes will help them feel independent in choosing what to wear while ensuring they’re warm enough to have fun.

Overpack Snacks If you think you’ve packed just enough snacks for your camping trip with kids… You probably haven’t.

This isn’t a rule you should follow on a daily basis, but when your kids are completely out of their routines and norms, snacks can save the day!

Grumpy? Here’s a tasty snack.

Scared? How about you have a snack?

Bored? Perfect. It’s snack time.

Do you get where this is going? Bring more than enough snacks for little campers!

Solar Lights Around Campsite If you’re camping with kids after a time change when the sun sets well before bedtime, having solar lights around your campsite will make your trip much more enjoyable.

A solar lantern can provide light for games at a table or preparing marshmallows for roasting.

Use yard lights along the perimeter of your campground. In addition to providing extra light, this will help keep little ones safer through a visual boundary line.

Throw It ALL Away Camping with kids is not a time when we must think about saving the planet through reusable dinnerware. This is a time when convenience is king and disposable is your friend.

Bring paper plates, paper bowls, plastic utensils, and aluminum bakeware for transporting prepped meals.

The one reusable item still recommended would be a water bottle. Children are notorious for opening up a plastic water bottle, taking one sip, and forgetting about it. Don’t waste your money or storage space on those when you can bring one bottle for every camper.

Keep It Clean

Stop the Bathroom Stink If you’re at a campground with vault toilets, they’ll probably stink. To help alleviate a fight to go potty with little kids, bring along something to stop the stink.

A dab of chest rub right under their nose will block the nasty odors with a pleasant minty smell. Just wipe it off after washing their hands.

Bring (a TON of) Baby Wipes Baby wipes are the Swiss army knife for camping with kids.

They clean dirty faces. They freshen up stinky bodies. They clean off dirty tables. They wipe down dirty toys. They do it all.

Bring a pack, or five, on the trip with you.

DIY Single-Use Soap To save space and the potential of spills, make your DIY single-use soap from any soap bar you’ve got around your house.

Use a cheese grater to slice a thin piece off the long side of the soap. Make sure the bar is completely dry. One slice should be enough for a single shower, so pack accordingly.

Clean Hands & Feet Keeping hands and feet clean as much as possible will help your camping trip with kids be much more enjoyable.

Use baby wipes to clean off hands before meals and getting into the tent.

Have a rug outside your tent to wipe shoes off and a bin to keep them inside the tent, by the entrance. Don’t let them walk around the tent with shoes covered in dirt and leaves unless you want to feel the grime in your sleeping bag all night.

Entry To The Soul

a.n: I haven’t written anything like this since 8th year so go easy on me loves

Warnings: smoking, grinding, light smut, fem!reader dom!eddie, light choking, touching (f receiving)

Summary: when your parents have kicked you out and you end up sleeping on the floor of Eddie Munson’s bedroom.

MINORS DNI !

"Okay, so here are some pajamas. The pants might be a tad big on you if you don’t mind. I couldn’t find anything smaller." Eddie walks up to you with the skull pajamas and Black Sabbath band t-shirt in hand. You smiled at him, taking the clothes and setting them down on the bed. Looking back up at him, you guys stare at each other, his big brown eyes peering into yours "ahem uhh anyway, I'm g-gonna go..." Eddie says, blinking for the first time in a while as he shook his head, "Oh yeah..so I can change." You say awkwardly, "Yeah, so you can change."

Eddie walks past you, the smell of weed and laundry detergent filling your nose as he walks towards the door. "Oh, and if you need anything, I’ll be right here," he says with a smile, slowly closing the door.

You huff out, slowly removing your clothes, exhausted from your fight with your parents about your drug use and slipping grades, which you didn't see as a problem because it was just a B- that could easily go up. Shaking the thoughts from your head, you begin to dress yourself in Eddie's clothes. Looking in the mirror, you chuckle at yourself and how the shirt basically swallows you whole.

Opening the door, you look down at a shocked Eddie, sitting up from the floor he smiles at you in awe looking at the way his clothes fall against your small frame "I'm surprised the pants aren't basically falling off you," he laughs, walking back into the bedroom behind you. You lift up your shirt slightly, showing him how the pajama pants land just at the base of your hips, revealing the hem of your underwear.

Eddie chuckles, hiding his smile. "Yeah, well you look good, so don’t worry about that." You look at him, dropping the shirt back down, "You think I look good, Munson?" You tease, angling your head to the side. With a quick snap of his neck towards you, his eyes widen, a slight blush creeping upon his face. "What!?" No like I meant that you looked good in the pants. Well, I mean you look good all the time, especially in my pants. Wait..no sorry, I-" You cut him off with a hearty laugh and a punch to the shoulder, "I was joking Munson, no need to get all flustered." He smiles at you, staring into your eyes, and in one swift movement, he throws himself against his bed, bouncing against the loud springs.

"Oh my god, Eddie!" Slightly raising your voice, running towards the end of his bed, you put your hand on his back, waiting for a reaction. "Don't say the Lord's name in vain, sweetheart," he says, getting up and propping himself against the pillows at the head of his bed. "Jesus, you scared me, you weirdo," you sigh, scooting up towards him, crossing your legs. "So..I know it’s because you got into a fight with your parents, but..why stay here? Why not Tina Mackrell’s or Amy Jean's?” Eddie says in question, looking at you, "Well, because they wouldn’t get it and they’re really judgmental." You murmur, fiddling with your fingers.

"What happened, if you don't mind me asking?" he asks gently, slightly concerned. "It's nothing that bad. I just came home high, and they got really pissed blaming my drug use on my slipping grades, you know shit like that," you say, pressing your lips together, looking at him through your brows. "What? "That's not bad, I smoke every day and my grades are much worse, plus drugs are the gateway to the soul man," Eddie says, throwing up his hands and huffing them behind his head.

You shake your head, smiling. "Yeah, I guess you’re right." You lifted your head up to the sound of Eddie digging into a drawer. After rummaging around for a while, he pulls out a small zip lock bag, shaking it in the air, "Wanna rebel against mommy and daddy for a little bit?" A smirk creeps across his lips as you eye the pre-roll, snatching it from his hands and taking the lighter out of his pocket. "You know, I always want to rebel, especially with you, Eddie," you say, and Eddie shakes his head and smiles. "Woah, sweetheart, slow down; it's not going anywhere," Eddie says, taking it from you. 

He holds the blunt up to his lips, inhaling the smoke and exhaling through his nose. A thought sparks in your head as you take the weed from Eddie. "Watch this." You smile, grabbing his jaw to turn him towards you, blowing the smoke. He closes his eyes and chuckles. "That was hot." He speaks breathily, opening his eyes to look into yours. "Why thank you Eddie the banished".

After a while you both were stoned and tired from hot boxing his room "Hold on, give me a second, I can't see" he jumps off his bed, opened a window, and plopped back down next to you. "That's better, holy shit" he lets out a breath as if this was the first one, he took in a long time. "Hey Ed, I'm getting tired, I think it's time we hit the hay." you lean your head against the opposite end of the bed. "Alright, lemme just get you a blanket and you can take one of my pillows." He swiftly gets up, jogging towards the door opening, bending down to reach a small cabinet while searching for a decent blanket that doesn’t smell like weed or have cigarette burns on it.

Your eyes follow Eddie’s movements as you watch him search. Your eyes hold onto the blue boxers peeking through the top of his pants. Your lips part slightly as you’re snapped out of your trance by him getting up. "Alright, this one doesn’t smell as much like weed and there’s no holes or burns, so you’re good." 

Eddie's goofy smile is plastered on his face as he holds the blanket out towards you, gently grabbing it. You head towards the floor, the pillow also in hand, setting up on the floor at the end of the bed. "Goodnight," he says, removing his shirt, then jumping under the blanket, rustling around and dropping his pants as well, turning off the light next to him. "Goodnight, Ed." you whisper, closing your eyes.

————————————

You awake in the middle of the night to the sound of a groan coming from the bed above you. "Eddie..."?" "Oh shit," you hear as the covers rustle, "Eddie." "I know you’re awake," he sighs, stopping his hurried movements. "Did I wake you up?" He says quietly, a heavy pant leaving his lips, "Yeah, but it’s fine. I could barely sleep anyway. " You reassure him to not make him feel bad.

A moment of silence rises between the both of you, thinking he probably fell asleep. "Do you want to..." "Do you want to come up here?" He breathes nervously, his eyes looking down towards the end of his bed. "Oh... yeah, sure, thanks." You remove yourself from under the blanket, moving into the bed next to him. "So, what was all that moving around for?" You rest your palms on the side of your face, looking up towards him. "I, uh, I was, um, woken up by a dream." His mind scatters trying to find an excuse for his actions.

"What was the dream about?" you asked, your eyebrows raised, his eyes wide, staring straight up, avoiding your gaze "it was umm it was about... you" he slowly spoke, mumbling the last part "oh w-what were we doing?" your heart fluttering at the thought of him dreaming about you "I was..." I was kissing you and... we started, uhmm... yeah.

his breathing quickened as he played with his hair, which was resting on his muscular chest. "Eddie.." you say as you face him and bite your lip while putting your palm on his chin. As you slowly close the space between you two, he turns to stare at you in your eyes as his breathing quickens and his lips quickly brush against yours. His eyebrows furrow as a sigh escapes his lips. You grip his face as his arms encircle your hips and push you onto him.

You both pant heavily, looking at each other in the dark room dimly lit by the moon through the window. "So, you like the idea of me dreaming dirty shit about you I guess." Eddie groans, catching his breath. You nod, moving your hands down his chest towards his bulge that was stiff and twitching with need. "Fuckkk." he murmurs, tightening his grip around your hips. "So, I’m guessing you started touching yourself before I woke up, huh." 

You circled your finger around the tip of his dick, his breath quickening, snaking one of his hands around your neck, grasping lightly, "yeah I was, I was fuckk..." "I was thinking of you just like this..sitting on my lap." He manages to speak through his held moans.

You feel his dick under you throbbing as he pulls you closer while leaning up against the back of his bed "You see how hard you've made me..just by visualizing you." Eddie slowly grinds his hips against your pussy, "fuckk Ed's don't stop," as you whimper into his shoulder and wrap your arms around him while holding on. He smiles against your neck while gently biting on your earlobe "Oh fuck that feels good," you say as you draw him closer to you by his waist and begin to grind against him. “I can feel the wetness and heartbeat in that lovely cunt of yours, so please keep going for me, darling.”

Eddie slips his hands under your shirt playing with your right boob you turn into a moaning mess as you grow more sensitive to the touch of him and his cold metal rings against your tit “mmm fuck Eddie please I need more” you beg out wanting to feel him inside of you he tuts smiling into your shoulder “nooo sweetheart this is all you’re getting tonight” his voice becoming lower removing his hand from your neck and boob lifting your shirt from around you and latching his swollen lips to your chest sucking and biting on the skin about your boob

"Fuck Eddie I’m getting close, just please please give me something. " You cry out, needy for more of Eddie’s touch. He smirks, putting his hand under your pants and underwear, rubbing his thumb gently against your clit. Moans escape your mouth loudly, "Fuck I’m so close. Keep your hand right there. " As you rub your clit against the base of his metallic rings, he looks at you in shock, "Oh fuck sweetheart, that’s woah. Keep doing that for me alright." 

Eddie chases your pace as you grind against his finger and dick him twitching and throbbing under you with a loud groan, he releases in his underwear the pool of come cooling down against your clothed heat after a while you come as well resting your body against his and he lays back sliding you next to him

Eddie stifles a chuckle through his quickened breath. "What's so funny?" you ask, looking up at him. "I think you should come over more often, sweetheart," he smiles, bringing you to his chest and kissing your forehead. "I think that's a great idea, Munson." You react by snuggling into him.

Missing You

A/N: This is just a little smutty one-shot. Thank you guys so much for all of the notes on my last fic! I really thought it was gonna get like 4 notes so that was a really amazing surprise. If you haven’t read it you can check it out here: I Would Do Anything You Asked Me To

Read the (sort of) part 2: Up In The Air

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader

Summary: Y/N gets creative in her attempts to convince Spencer to get a phone from this century

Category: Pure smut baby

Warnings/Includes: smut, graphic descriptions of sex, dirty talk, phone sex, innocence kink, masturbation (both male and female), please let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed

Word count: 2200 words

“I don’t need one Y/N” he says exasperated, neatly folding clothes to put into his go-bag. This wasn’t the first time they’d had this conversation but Y/N continued to insist.

“I’m not saying you need one Spence, I’m saying that it would be nice if you had one. Your phone now just does the bare minimum, calls and texts, does that thing even get your emails?”

He rolls his eyes, “You know that’s exactly what I like about it, why would I want any other functions? Plus I like the tactility of the buttons. Humans have been conditioned to find stimulants like the feedback from pressing a button satisfying, it helps us feel like we’re solving problems, essentially.” He deflects.

She takes a step closer to him, placing a hand gently on his arm, “Do you know what could be more satisfying than that?” She questions him, and he shakes his head, eyebrows coming together in confusion, “If I could send you pictures while you were away? Or if we could video chat when I miss you at night?” She pulls him around to face her so he can see her expression, the way she’s looking up at him with half lidded eyes, hoping he doesn’t miss what she’s getting at.

He smirks, and lets out a laugh that’s just shy of scoffing, “You know we can do that with just audio?”

“Are you serious?” He just nods in response, “so you don’t think the visual component is necessary?”

“Necessary’s not the word I would use. It would be nice to have, but I’ve got enough visual aids stored away up here” he taps his temple as he speaks. She groans at him, her point failing to land.

“We can’t all have your memory! Sometimes I don’t just want to think about you getting off in a hotel room, I want to see it” she whines and he gives her a small laugh.

“Look, we can talk about this later but I have to go” he places a gentle kiss on her forehead before he zips up his bag and is out the door.

— — —

When he gets back to his hotel room that evening he collapses back onto the bed. He should have a shower but he’s not sure he even has the energy for that. He was reserving it for his phone call.

He and Y/N had an agreement. Whenever he was away he had to call her each night he was gone. It wasn’t a possessive thing, it was more of a safety thing. If she could just hear his voice for even 30 seconds she could sleep easy. Sometimes it would be just that, a quick ‘hello, love you, goodnight’ other times there’d be plenty to talk about, good and bad. Sometimes he needed the call more than she did. But they never had phone sex.

Spencer was confused why she’d seemed so adamant that it was something he should upgrade his phone for when it wasn’t something they typically even engaged in.

But he didn’t know what she had in store for him yet.

He got changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt and lay back into bed, propping himself up against the pillows. He dialed Y/N’s number.

“Hi there.” her voice was smooth like honey and he missed her already.

“Hi.” he breathed

“Did you find my present yet?” He had no idea what she was referring to. Sitting upright in his bed on instinct.

“No?”

“Shame, will you check that little inside pocket of your bag for me? The one with the zip?” he hops straight up to root for it, finding a small sealed envelope. He settles back into bed before he rips it open. It contains a small collection of Polaroids, all of them of Y/N.

She knew what he liked. He’d never say it in so many words but he had a thing for innocence, something about seeing her in white lingerie, or sometimes baby pink. He would always get a little more excited than usual, grabbing, and pulling, and ripping on occasion. But he didn’t recognize the set she was wearing in the Polaroids. It was white satin, with some ruffles, she had a suspender belt around her waist with thin white stockings attached as she stretched out on their shared bed.

His eyes poured over the images, in another it was just from her chest up, giving him a perfect view of her breasts, the expanse of her neck, the frame cutting off just above her lips which were delicately covered in lipgloss. He could see sheen of where the cameras flash had bounced off it.

“Fuck” was all he could think to say. All other words escaping him as he turned his attention towards the photo of her with her hands inside of her own panties, her back arched off the bed beneath her.

“So you found ‘em?” She spoke, her voice sultry and laden with tension.

“I, uh, yeah” he breathes down the line, feeling his cock twitch at the sound of her voice coupled with the images in front of him.

“Are those— the underwear, is it new?” He already knows the answer but he’s not sure what else to ask.

“Mmhmm” she hums, “I thought you’d like this set, I was saving it for a special occasion but I thought, what the hell.”

“I do, I like it a lot.” he reaches his hand inside the waistband of his sweatpants without really thinking about it.

“You know Spence, I really wish you were here right now” she toys with him playfully, “So you could see this set in person, I’m looking at myself in the mirror right now and those pictures really don’t do it justice.”

Spencer almost stops breathing, “You’re wearing— now?” He asks in disbelief.

“This is what I usually do when I miss you Love. I’ll get all dressed up in something I know you like, and I’ll fantasize about what you’d do to me if you were here.” her tone is soft but teasing, still standing to admire herself in the mirror.

She could see why he liked her in white, it made her look so sweet, and cute almost. Whenever she wore underwear like this she went all out. Applying a mascara she knew would run down her cheeks with even the slightest tear, lipstick or lipgloss that was sure to smear or leave stains all over the parts of Spencer that she’d kiss. He loved that, the juxtaposition of the before and after. The adorable angel that he got to ruin.

“What do you do when you fantasize?” He questions, letting his own mind drift as he wraps his hand around his now painfully hard cock.

“Well I’ll think about you, how you like to hold me down by my hips while you eat me out, or how much better your fingers feel” she moans, slipping her own fingers into her panties as she lays down in their bed, “mine just don’t fill me up like yours do.”

Spencer can imagine it perfectly, the way she’s probably splayed out on their bed right now. “God I wish I was there. I’d have my fingers so deep inside you, you’re always so wet for me” he groans into the receiver, “tell me how wet you are for me baby?”

She’s impressed that he’s getting the hang of this so quickly, obliging him right away. “Fuck Spence, I’ve been dripping wet since I heard your voice. I’ve been thinking about this all day. Do you want to hear?”  

She doesn’t wait for a response, she just brings the phone down towards her pussy, lining up the microphone next to it as she pumps her fingers in and out, so that he can hear the wet sounds that fill her bedroom. When she brings the phone back to her ear he’s breathing heavily.

“Fuck Y/N. I wish I was there so bad, I wish I could fuck you right this second” he’s almost whimpering, she can tell he’s touching himself already.

“If you were here with me in bed right now, how would you fuck me Spencer?” She takes a moment to root her vibrator from the drawer in her beside locker. If she concentrated, or stopped concentrating maybe, she could pretend it was him.

“I’d grab you by that fucking suspender belt, and flip you over. Have you face down on the bed for me, your perfect ass in the air.” His sentences are punctuated by harsh breaths, bordering on gasps. “For being such a tease I’d have to rip those tiny little panties off you, as if they were really covering anything in the first place.”

As he speaks she hooks her fingers in the sides of those panties and pulls them off her legs so she’s got better access now. Lining the head of her vibrator up at her entrance, pushing it in slow and steady, waiting until it’s completely sheathed inside her before turning it on.

“I’d grab you by your hips and pull your ass up so my cock is right there, so I can push the head up against your pussy, feeling how fucking wet you are for me”

She’s moaning now, and if he can hear the vibrations he doesn’t say anything.

“Then I’d push into you, your tight little cunt, I always have to go so slow for you to take all of me. I’d keep going, deep as I can so I can feel you squirm under me, feel you clench even tighter around me”

She had no idea he had a mouth this dirty but she was loving every second. “I fucking love it when you fuck me from behind” is all she can string together, writhing on top of their sheets.

“And that’s exactly what I’d do next baby, I’d start to fuck you. Slow, and deep at first, then fast, and rough. I love the sounds you make when I get rough. Those pathetic little whimpers and cries while I fuck you into the mattress. I can even hear them with your face buried in the pillows. It’s even better when you cry just a bit, mascara all over your little cheeks ‘cause you just can’t take it.”

He’s panting now, his boxers pushed down his hips so that he can properly work his cock, his fist pumping up and down faster and faster as he’s about release.

“Where would you cum Spence?” She says it but she almost doesn’t recognize her voice, it’s more of a strangled cry and it goes straight to his dick.

“You know I’d cum deep inside you, fill you up while you tighten around me, god I love those fucking noises you make. Cum for me” he demands, and she’s got no problem obliging.

With her back arching up off the bed, her hands fisting the sheets, and the vibrator still buried inside her, imagining it’s Spencer, she cries out. Moaning louder than she intended, her phone on loudspeaker beside her. She can hear him too. His hand working himself through his climax as it coats his stomach and fingers and little gasps and groans he lets out that sound an awful lot like her name.

Once they’re both spent they lie in silence in their respective beds for a moment before Spencer breaks the tension.

“That was a surprise”

She bursts out laughing. “Well that was the idea”

“But why?” He asks, deliriously happy but confused.

“I thought it might convince you to invest in a phone with a camera?” She says like he’s silly for even asking.

“Why would I want that? This just proved that we don’t need that” he explains, and he’s not wrong but he’s missed the point.

“Spencer, I’m gonna take some pictures of myself right now, and I’m gonna send them to your email. I want you to grab your laptop and open ‘em up for me okay?”

“Okay?” He agrees unsure, and she hangs up.

Several minutes later and he’s opening up an email with the subject heading:

“pros of dr. reid getting a new phone”

There’s no text, just a series of photos of Y/N. She’s staged them perfectly.

The first is a selfie, messy hair, smudged lipgloss, and mascara stained cheeks on show as she’s blowing him a kiss. Another is just her mouth, but she’s stuffed her discarded panties inside, leaving the wet stain obviously visible to him. There’s others of her, taken of herself in the mirror, fingers inside herself, in the next she’s got those same fingers in her mouth, lips closed tightly around them, cheeks hollowed out. Spencer has to stop scrolling or he’ll just get hard again.

He hears his phone ping with a text message.

You could’ve been looking at these the whole time, might’ve even gotten a video if you were lucky x

He rarely likes to admit defeat but in this case it might just be worth it to concede.

I’ll buy a new phone first thing tomorrow x

Read the (sort of) part 2: Up In The Air

[aerimomo-mellon]

ENHYPEN walks in on you changing.

Paring~ ENHYPEN x Reader

Genre~ Fluff cause these boys be too cute.

A/N~ Requested! BTW girl I love you! thank you for requesting!

ENHYPEN M☁List ll Main M☁List

Heeseung

The second he walks in he is in panic mode.

His mind is probably like "Oh my god! what did I do! I should have never stepped in! I don't know what to say ahhhh!"

But of Corse that is in his mind cause he would never say that out loud.. cause he likes being cool and experienced despite the fact he is freaking out.

When you finally say "hey what are you doing here?" he manages to say " oh um just chilling you know.. I think.. NO I mean I don't think.. NO I actually mean I came here for my... watch yea!"

"baby your watch is on your wrist!" you say pointing at it.

"oh haha must be a mistake then..." he says scratching his head and awkwardly leaving.

I guess his effort of acting cool failed..

Jay

The only fucking one to be very cool about it.

Acts as if he has already claimed every bit of you so won't even bother to make a big fuss about it...

"Hey y/n! do you know where the scissors are? I can't rip the duck tape with my hands.." he says walking in the bedroom.

*Finds you wearing a pair of joggers. *

"aren't those mine?" he says eyes fixed on your lower body. (loves to look at you for some reason) and plus point you are basically half naked( yes you have your under garment on.) so he won't loose the chance.

"no 🙄... my friend got it for me yesterday.." you say avoiding eye contact to hide your Lie.

" Yea yea... now tell me where the scissors are." he continues. "its in the night table drawer." you reply.

"oh right!" he pecks your cheek "thanks baby!"

Jake

shy boi #1. *Walks in and finds you putting on a t-shirt*

Obviously freaks out cause he just has seen your bare back. When you turn around he immediately regrets his life choices.

"oh um.. sorry. I did not know you were changing.." he says looking at the floor.

"when did you get here?" you speak wearing you t-shirt fully. "oh just now! yes just now. and you turned around" he lies lol.

"hey Jake is your foot okay? is it itching? or smth?" you say looking at his foot that was awkwardly rubbing the carpet.

*Jake realizing what he is doing😳* " oh there was this weird thing on the carpet so i rubbed it off" he lies again ..

" oh yeah let me see is it gone?" you say walking towards him.

" yeah yeah yeah its all gone" he had to lie again. You stand in front of him looking up to him. " you don't have to be all shy about it." you say wrapping your hands around his waist, giving him a smile.

Sunghoon

I would not categorize him as shy in this case. Just because he would not be shy at all.

Rather then being all red and shy and uncomfortable he would only awkwardly smile at you.

Eye contact but never lowers his eyes from yours since he respects your privacy.

Laughs after a while and apologizes. "sorry I'll head out now.. love you!"

"me too" you say and he would simply walk out the door. BUt that cute little session you two had was very sweet to you and to him too.

Yes he is out of the room but still thinking about you ahaha and smiling alone in the living room. (sweet but creepy if you ask me ahaha)

"Baby why are you smiling?" you ask walking out of the room. "oh what do you mean? when did I smile?" he says quickly keeping a straight face.

Sunoo

Shy boi #2. Whatever random shit he was doing he decided to check on you and give his little hug.

Having that thought in mind he did not know or expect you to be literally taking your shirt off in the bedroom.

*walks in all happy and Skippy to hug you but*

He raises his eye brows his mouth wide open 😱 *panic mode*

you look back to see who it is but then you find him. The moment you saw him he brings his hands to his eyes to cover it.

" oh sorry hehe.." he says turning around so he isn't facing you. (but still covering his eyes lol) " I did not know you were changing"

"It's okay " you say giggling to yourself cause of his cuteness. "I'm done! you may turn around now" you say making your way to him.

"now, tell me what you wanted" you say as you sat on your bed looking at him. "nothing just wanted a hug 🤗" (that emoji is literally Sunoo) "Cm're" you say spreading your arms for him to fall into.

Jungwon

Shy baby #3. (Enhypen has a lot of shy boisssss sorry but it's true.)

You were getting ready for dinner with your friends. And you wore a cute dress for the night but couldn't get the zip up.

Of Corse you were struggling which made him come check on you.

*walks in the room but doesn't find you at first* (cause you were struggling in the bathroom.)

Finally he finds you and when he opens the door he is 🍅. "oh sorry I did not mean to😳"

"NO its fine can you please help me!" you say quick before he walks out. " It's almost time and I need to zip this. Please, please, Pleaseeeeeeee" you say. "yea sure" his face still 🍅.

Slowly makes his way towards you from behind to zip you dress. *his heart is like in the tempo of Drunk Dazed* anyway he manages to get that zip up.

"thank you!" you say giving him a quick hug. "no problem 😳" (and yes he is thinking about that all day)

Ni-Ki

Not shy specifically but the most awkward one.

You did not know he was going to visit you at your place today. (And yes he did)

You just came out from the shower looking for your clothes to change into.

*randomly comes in the house since he knows the password.* as he made his way to your room….

He finds you only with shorts and no t-shirt. 🧍🏻← yup this is him right here→🧍🏻

“I’m sorry I did not know” last words before he turns around and heads out.

That’s basically what you get from this man. I mean he would probably feel a little shocked but as far as I know he would not make a big deal about it in front of you. Preventing any sort of miscommunication.

After you change you two don’t even bother to bring that topic cause you both be too young for that shit.

Royal Love Part 7

Summary: Now 18 Eleanor heads to her first year of college and falls for a handsome musician. Can she keep her royal secret be with her true love?

A/N: This series is for @kingliam2019​​​ one of my 500 followers giveaway winners

Eleanor stands at her mirror doing her hair and makeup. A knock comes at the door and Marissa pokes her head in “Girl you ready?”

“Almost just doing my makeup”

Marissa grins “I love the dress where’d you get it?”

“Oh my aunt made it for me”

“Is she a designer? Can she make me a dress?”

Eleanor giggles “No she’s not a designer she just makes dresses cause she knows how to”

“Still this is amazing work I want a dress from her”

Eleanor smiles “I’ll tell her then now where are going”

“Oh there’s this new club that opened downtown it’s called Gold it’s super hot”

“Well who else besides me and you is coming?”

“Just a few girl friends and some girls annnnnd” Marissa winks “Cole is going to be there”

Eleanor blushes “Really?”

“Awwww you’re blushing you do like him”

Eleanor quickly turns away “We’re just friends”

“Mmmhm”

Eleanor rolls her eyes tries not to smile “Whatever you say”

“Now get your cute butt out the door”

Eleanor laughs as she grabs her purse and heads out

****

They arrive at Gold and Eleanor’s eyes marvel inside the club. The people dancing the music pumping through the speakers

Marissa grabs her arm “Oh there’s everyone let’s go” She pulls her over to where everyone was sitting and chatting

“Hey guys this is my roommate Eleanor. Eleanor this is Josh Randy, Anna, Lacey, Dee Dee and you already know Cole”

Eleanor waves “Hi everyone” Then she turns to Marissa “You haven’t been here long how do you know so many people?”

“I’m sure they love my charming personality”

Lacey giggles “More like annoying”

Everyone laughs as Marissa playfully shoves her

Josh grins “So Eleanor Marissa tells us you’re from Europe” “Oh yeah I’m from Cordonia”

Anna squeals “Oooh have you seen the palace or met the king and queen?”

He’s my father Eleanor takes a deep breath “Uh no not really”

Lacey pouts “Really? Marissa you said her dad is high in politics”

“Oh he is and when I said not really I meant I just greeted him that’s all”

Anna sighs “Boo I was hoping for more”

Randy rolls his eyes “Stop hounding the girl you’re making her nervous”

“Oh no it’s fine Marissa let’s talk” Eleanor pulls her away from everyone else “Please don’t tell anyone else about my family I don’t want people to like me because of that”

“Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know I won’t say anything else swear on everything”

“Thank you and plus my dad told me to keep it private”

Marissa mimes her lips being zipped “My lips are sealed I won’t say anything else”

Eleanor giggles “Thank you” They return back to the group “So are you all up for drinks”

Josh claps his hands “Now you’re speaking my language!”

Cole chuckles “Just take it easy man I’m not hauling your drunk ass home”

Everyone burst out laughing as Josh rolls his eyes

Anna turns to Eleanor “So I’ve been hearing that Alyssa’s been giving you problems”

Eleanor sighs “Yeah she’s been hounding me all cause she’s a jealous bitch”

Lacey scoff “She’s more than that I really wish I can beat her ugly ass”

Randy shakes his head “I really wish you didn’t date that girl man”

“Let’s not talk about her let’s have a good time” Cole downs the last of his drink “Let’s dance guys”

Everyone heads out onto the dance floor. Eleanor dances with the girls till she feels a pair of arms come up behind her she blushes as she hears a familiar voice

“May I have this dance with you?”

Eleanor turns and faces Cole “Yes you may” They dance together “Really don’t do that I thought you were some random guy I was about to knee”

Cole laughs “Sorry about that”

“You were quiet it tonight”

“Well it’s just”

“Just what?”

“I didn’t want to hog all your time I mean everyone deserved to know how great you are”

Eleanor blushes “Oh thank you you’re great too Cole”

“So listen Elle would you like to”

“Cole!”

Cole curses under his breath “Dear God please don’t let that be”

Alyssa storms up to him “What are you doing here dancing with her?!”

“That’s none of your business now can you go away”

“No! I asked you to come here with me and you said you weren’t coming!”

“Did I? Shocker I lied”

Alyssa stomps her foot the glares at Eleanor “This is all your fault! I hate you!” She lunges at Eleanor but she dodges her and she lands flat on her face “Ow!”

Eleanor laughs “You should really learn to stay on your feet” Alyssa quickly gets up and lunges again but Eleanor tackles her and pins her to the ground “You and Cole are over! Get over it and move on!” Eleanor huffs as she releases her

Alyssa snarls “You bitch you’re gonna pay I’m gonna destroy you” She stomps away

Eleanor rolls her eyes “She’s pathetic”

“I know you wanna step outside you probably need air after that” Eleanor nods and they head outside “Those were some moves where did you learn that?”

“Oh dad always thought it was good to learn to protect yourself”

“Can you show me sometime?”

Eleanor smirks “The great football captain wants me to show him some moves?”

Cole chuckles “Very funny how about you come and meet my family for the weekend”

“Really?”

“Yeah they’re throwing a BBQ you can come and experience Texas BBQ”

Eleanor smiles “I love it I’ll be there”

Cole smiles “Great we better get back in before everyone starts wondering where we are”

Eleanor giggles as they walk back in then she sighs Meeting Cole’s family it’s ok no pressure at all

[shizukateal]

The new Precure designs - I gotta know what you think. They have some unecessary details, a lot of which definitely fit in the category of "you'd probably dislike them," but personally I'm something of a fan! The big bows are unnecessary but endearing

Cure Precious

Anon, once again, I'm going to clear this up properly in a separate post but I do not have a categorical hatred of tails. Not only does my magical girlsona have one, but also my favorite magical girl of all times is Sakura Kinomoto, and my favorite dress from here is the princess dress that has a gigantic tail.

Even this girl here, yeah, I wouldn't say her tail or rather the general overskirt is good, but it's not all that bad either. However, it probably wouldn't have been needed at all if the skirt puffed up a bit better instead of having this clunky awkward movement to it, although that could just be the artist. The problem is that between its sharp, stiff edges, general weird shape, the unnatural way it transitions from the sash and overstuffed apron. Moving to the top, I'm not sure I understand the flaps on top of the sash, but more importantly it was pointless to make it so that the top "zips" to the side with the trimming of the neckline following through. One can barely notice it at all because the front ribbon distracts from it and beyond that it interrupts the aesthetic the outfit is going on in the first place and it makes one question how it carries through to the overskirt. Her hove-sock-boots are odd but not necessarily ugly, so they can stay as far as I'm concerned. All in all she could be slightly more polished, but she's far above acceptable! Congrats to her.

Cure Spicy

The blue one is called spicy???? Um, ok I guess? She does look like she has an attitude I do like how her stance compliments her outfit. The short boots with the stockings and this kind of slitted/ asymmetrical overskirt plus the long gloves, it all gives a mature edge to the look. Sadly, the transition from top to skirt is awkward due to the apron -and even without it it's a bit hard to imagine how to make it work properly- and the back ribbon takes away too much attention. Still, she retains points because this approach is rare to see and it makes her stand out.

Cure Yum-yum

There's the skeleton of a very interesting idea here, once again suffering under the weight of excessive ornaments. The bowler hat/ hairpin? doesn't even have anything to do with the chinese hairbuns, the chest ribbon looks clunky because of how big and distracting it is, and the top line of frills on the skirt adds nothing needed. The shoes are also... impractical? clumsy? Like, those aren't actually shoes, those are short socks with frills with two ribbons shoddily tied around the ankles to give the impression of shoes the same way a white sheet with wholes gives the impression of a ghost. The sash upholding the apron being striped like that is also tiring to the eyes in between all of the other pattern and color combinations it competes with.

As for the back ribbon... Hm :/ See, I don't hate it and I think on itself it is pretty, but it's positioned too low on her back to fully sell itself as butterfly wings and it is too big to properly highlight her waist. I'd call hell Diet Tsuruno, but let's be real: next to eachother Tsuruno is a properly balanced meal and this girl is a sundae overstuffed with every candy in spite of any sense of flavor and texture balance.

Cure Finale

It's a bit hard to put into words how she fails, because the ideas behind her choices make sense on paper, but they simply do not get together.

First of all, here's a good opportunity to compare why I might like a tail and not another. While certainly not perfect, Cure Precious' tail gets a pass over this one because hers is more aerodynamic, for lack of a better word. It's cut in such a way that the weight is not unanimously placed on the lower back, even if the shape of it is not all that attractive. Meanwhile Finale is hard to imagine moving with much free-range, because there's so much weight behind her between the tail -which also starts at a lower point that Precious' and is longer-, her hair and the big ribbon. The drapes attached to the orbs are also jarring and they bring out this sorta uncanny-valley effect of how stiff and 2-dimensional the skirt looks. Once again the apron is cute, and it kinda helps the hipline transition because it starts too low, but at the same time it doesn't fully match the skirt either. Not because of the colors of course, but because, again, the skirt looks like a paper cut-out, and that makes the apron look taped on top of it.

I also get why they cut her sleeves, but it doesn't really help. This looks to me like a case of someone trying to make the square peg fit into the round whole by literally cutting it. It would've been better to just give her shorter puff sleeves, ones that look like they actually belong to the jacket and overskirt. In summary she is pretty, but not consistent enough for me to find her admirable.

My overall assessment is that they are below the A La Mode and Healing Precures, but above the Huggto Precures.

THE・Rarest Bakugou

Given Bakugou-kun's description as a "juvenile delinquent" (Horikoshi sensei uses the term 不良少年, or furyou shounen, meaning juvenile delinquent boy), it's expected that he wouldn't conform to standard. So obviously, it's not possible to find Bakugou-kun wearing a tie properly................

What is up with this perfectly tied nonsense right here?!

Bakugou-kun, I thought I knew you!!! THE LIES! THE BETRAYAL!!!

But, it's probably just a fluke. You didn't mean it, right Horikoshi-sensei?

WTF?! WHY?!!! Horikoshi-sensei?!

Yep. Contrary to expectations, Bakugou-kun wearing a tie correctly only ranks at Ultra Rare status: difficult to find, but not impossible.

So, what's rarer than a tie-wearing Bakugou-kun? Go Beyond, Plus Ultra Rare Bakugou!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In fact, it's even harder to find Bakugou-kun wearing a tie improperly. Given proto-Bakugou's loose tie design, I would have expected that to be the likelier delinquent-esque tie option. But I've only seen Horikoshi-sensei draw him like this once:

(Horikoshi-sensei's one year celebration illustration. This is still fairly early in the publication.)

On top of that, Bakugou-kun consistently wears his uniform tie-less and with at least one button undone on his shirt collar. His pants are always slung low on his hips and legs bunching up at his feet (except when he had to wear jeans for Best Jeanist). You can even see panels where Horikoshi-sensei drew in the rips at the hems near the heel where they drag on the ground.

So why the inconsistency, Horikoshi-sensei? I see you over there, stop pretending you didn't notice. I know you're paying attention.

Horikoshi-sensei gave proto-Bakugou a loosened tie, so what is the reasoning for taking Bakugou-kun's tie away?

Some No-Tie Theories

Fan Theory #1: HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW

//Like Midoriya-kun, Bakugou-kun came from a middle school with gakuran uniforms. They never learned how to tie them. Midoriya-kun messes up his tie, while Bakugou-kun doesn't even bother to try.//

I actually think this is the least likely reason. Bakugou-kun was designed to be a naturally talented genius. I think this applies to anything he wants to do. If he does something, it's always perfectly done.

Bakugou-kun can (and does if you look above) tie it perfectly when necessary.

CONCLUSION: If Bakugou-kun doesn't do something, it's completely out of personal preference or because he doesn't see a reason to.

Fan Theory #2: REBELLIOUS NATURE

//Bakugou-kun is a delinquent and maintains that image because he thinks it looks cool. Or maybe he is rebelling against fashion designer parents. Either way, because of his family background he knows how to tie a tie, but wants to be a rebel.//

I'd give partial points for this one. I'm pretty sure he wears his pants loose at least partially because he thinks it looks cool. However, Bakugou-kun's parents were noted to be designers and not specifically fashion designers.

Despite appearances, this is the kid that sleeps at 8:30pm, doesn't break school rules, and yells at his friends for smoking.

He zips up the collar on his gym track suit all the way. Both the summer and winter versions get the same treatment. He doesn't feel the need to "make a statement" by wearing his track uniform incorrectly. Outside of class, he can and does sometimes wear his track jacket unzipped, but during class he always wears it properly.

So then why does Bakugou-kun refuse to wear the band T-shirt and Christmas party Santa outfit? Because he isn't cooperative. In Ultra Analysis, his Cooperativeness Stat was the lowest rank: E.

CONCLUSION: Bakugou-kun may be non-conformist and uncooperative, but he isn't a rebel.

Fan Theory #3: TRAUMA/PTSD

//This is one of the more popular theories. Between Dabi grabbing his neck, the Sludge Villain and being restrained at the School Festival, our boy has been through the wringer. As a result, he just doesn't like stuff around his neck because it gives him anxiety.//

The Western Fandom is definitely concerned about the mental health of the kids. But I don't actually think this is the reason. Not that I don't think they all need some therapy and self care, especially right now, but there just isn't evidence for this specific trauma in Bakugou-kun.

He wears scarves and even turtle necks without a problem.

On top of that, Bakugou-kun ALSO unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and gakuran in middle school; even from before the Sludge Villain incident. There isn't any evidence Bakugou-kun changed his dressing habits due to trauma. He wore a scarf to the entrance exam for UA, too.

CONCLUSION: Bakugou-kun has ALWAYS worn his shirts with the top button unbuttoned.

These 3 theories are inadequate, too. Even if they did explain the reasons Bakugou-kun doesn't wear a uniform tie, they don't factor in the reasoning for why he DOES wear his other ties properly sometimes.

HC#1: Bakugou-kun's preference

Bakugou-kun doesn't seem to care about his image and how "extras" see him. Even during the press interviews after his hero debut, he wore the same style of open collar look. He's not shy about being nude or taking his shirt off.

But what he hates is being uncomfortable.

He is "explosively brawny". Just look at how thick Bakugou-kun's neck is when compared to Midoriya-kun's. It isn't just that Midoriya-kun is supposed to be scrawny, but also that Bakugou-kun has a thicker than average neck.

Bakugou-kun doesn't like to button up his shirts all the way because it's uncomfortable. It's reasonable that he zips his track suit and everything else up because those are looser at the neck or made of stretchier materials.

As for why he doesn't wear the uniform tie at all... Don't forget Bakugou-kun is a perfectionist and a bit of a neat freak.

He always tucks his shirt in. For the band performance he wore a collared black dress shirt. From what we saw of his room, it's minimalist and clean. I don't see him wanting to look like a slob.

A sloppy loose tie would probably irritate him more than just not wearing it (which is even funnier when you think about Midoriya-kun's chonk tie. It probably makes him want to strangle Midoriya-kun, or maybe just tie it himself...)

Bakugou-kun has difficulties compromising when it comes to his high standards. So if he has to wear it, it's going to be either 0% or 100%.

HC#2: Explosiveness

Why draw Bakugou-kun with either 0% tie or 100% tie? If Horikoshi-sensei is going for a delinquent image, wouldn't the 50% tie option make more sense?

Taking a look again at Bakugou-kun's profile page, Horikoshi-sensei describes him to be explosive in every way. That includes his whole body being "explosively brawny", but also adds a note that he looks slender in clothes.

Horikoshi-sensei put an effort to make every element of Bakugou-kun's character in some state of either fully compressed or explosive.

His slimming clothes, general appearance and even his speech patterns are highly compressed (blunt/terse) and loud. The extremes of his attitude are compressed too; if Bakugou-kun is not loudly raging, then he's quietly observing.

This contrast is key to his character. You can't explode if you aren't compressed first. It's supposed to be shocking to see how brawny he actually is under his slenderizing clothes. And I always feel shocked whenever I see this kid compressed into a tie.

HC#3: Deku & Kacchan

These two are set apart from the class by design and very much on purpose. Horikoshi-sensei designed them to be at opposite ends of the same spectrum.

If Bakugou-kun has muscular arms, then Midoriya-kun needs muscular legs. If Midoriya-kun buttons up his shirt all the way to the collar, then Bakugou-kun's collar has to be loose. Their designs reflect their connection.

So if Midoriya-kun has a poorly tied tie, the opposite of that is either non-existant or perfectly tied. If it's perfectly tied, he'd just blend in with the class.

The no-tie option just makes more sense.

Plus Ultra Rare Bakugou

Horikoshi-sensei only ever draws Bakugou-kun with a tie in specific scenarios. Costume events that require the neck tie as part of the costume or "fancy" events where everyone is in formal wear. And even in those, Bakugou-kun manages to not wear his tie 90% of the time.

So, I just imagine that when Horikoshi-sensei makes Bakugou-kun wear his tie, he's super grumpy! Just look at his face in every illustration he's wearing a tie in. He's probably hot, uncomfortable, and really not enjoying himself at all.

Ultimately, the "Plus Ultra Rare Bakugou" is a Bakugou-kun who wears the tie and SMILES while doing it.

(Yes, I know that's NOT actually a tie. Shut up Bakugou-kun. You're only smirking in this one because you won the Popularity Poll for the 5th time in a row...)

(Well that's random, you say? Welcome to my blog. Considering the stuff going down on canon, I figured I should give fans, and myself, a break from angst to talk about something silly.

Please note that this applies only to the manga. I've found that the anime isn't quite so strict about how Bakugou-kun looks.

Regarding the headcanons, I just want to clarify that everyone is free to think whatever they like. I enjoy all headcanons and support your right to have them.

I wrote this a while ago and then debated posting it because it's such a huge meta about... Bakugou-kun's tie. I had regrets. But now it's become my new years post. Regrets were for 2020, it's already 2021!

Demons out, fortune in!!! I know it's not setsubun for another month, but 2020 was such a demon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!)
