photographer!ni-ki

pairing: photographystudent!ni-ki x gender neutral reader

genre: fluff, comedy

description: every time you went to the park you noticed a mysterious boy who would take pictures of the scenery on his cute little camera. you liked to see what he’d take pictures of from afar but one day you noticed his camera pointing straight at.. you

for ni-ki’s bday!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE <33 sorry i posted a day late but i hope u all enjoy!

———

“y/n!”

you groan before getting out of your bed at 10am

it was a saturday why was your mom yelling at u ..

you walked into the kitchen all sluggishly and rubbed your eyes

“you need to start taking suki on walks to the park. you need the exercise too.” your mom doesn’t even spare u a glance before walking out the door to run some errands

right

u forgot u were taking care of ur cousins dog while he was out of town... her name was suki

shes a little shiba inu AND SHES THE CUTEST THING EVER!!!!

WELP

u dont even have a choice anymore

u got somewhat ready before heading out with suki in your arms

shes so soft and fluffy

though u dont like to admit it, u kinda agreed with ur mom about u needing to exercise and get out the house

you’ve been cooped up in your room for days with no social or nature interaction

the park was about a 10 minute drive from ur house

and it was actually a really pretty park...

there was a lake and really pretty flowers everywhere and alot of gazebos and benches

and a nice open field of greenery

it basically looked like a park out of a movie

so you weren’t suprised that there was a decent amount of people there

but not too much thankfully.. or else you would’ve driven to another park with less people

you got out the car with suki and put her on the leash

let the walking begin!!!!

it was a really nice day out... the sun was shining but it wasnt too hot or cold

you led her onto the sidewalk and she began sniffing at the grass around her

whenever a few people would pass they would coo at how adorable she was

it wasnt until 5 minutes later that ur eyes locked onto a figure infront of the lake

you were just walking with suki in silence.. admiring the scenery

until u caught sight of a boy

u could only see his back but u noticed the camera over his shoulder

he was standing in one of those photographer poses where like one leg is bent and kind of out while his back is hunched to get that perfect angle of a shot

he was infront of the sidewalk railings where the lake begins and he was taking photos of the scenery across from it

it was a beautiful sight honestly

there was another sidewalk but behind it was colorful trees and blossoming flowers and bushes

u understood why he’d take pictures of it

you didnt see his face but u kind of acknowledged the boy before walking past him with suki

basically thinking he was just another passerby that you noticed making a single appearance in your life and never expecting to see him again

OH BOY U WERE WRONG

the next time you see him is 3 days later at the same park

you were walking suki again but this time at 7pm after dinner

the sun was almost done setting so the sky was getting darker but there was still a hint of the orange circle peeking from below

this time you walked further down the sidewalk path towards the scattered gazebos

and you noticed the same boy again

this time he was sat in one of the gazebos with his tiny camera in his hands

his back was hunched over again and he was looking closely at the pictures he had taken

‘oh its him again’ u thought

and that was it

LOL

u just acknowledged him in ur head AGAIN before u thought nothing of it and continued ur walk with suki

so the NEXT time u saw him was another 2 days later at 7pm again

you wanted to take suki on a quick walk

but you got tired after like 10 minutes so you sat down on a blanket u brought

suki was just laying next to u while u were on ur phone

it wasnt fully dark out yet and there was still a few people in the park

the fairy lights that were placed around were lit up already

it was super pretty and the weather was nice

after staring at ur phone for a few mins u looked up just to look around

and u saw Him again

wow

why do u keep seeing him !?!?!

his back was faced towards u like always

and he was like 40 feet away from u so he looked so tiny

but u could tell it was him because of his blond hair and black coat he always wore

you kind of zoned out and unfortunately ur eyes were trained on his back without u even noticing

and he

turned

around

for the first time EVER!!!!

its like he sensed someone staring at him

but yes he turned around with his camera in his hand

the first thing u noticed was that he got a new camera

it was a larger black one

definitely more expensive

Awe good for him!!!!!

and then u glanced up to see his face

and u made EYE CONTACT

u looked away so fast

because

He was SO CUTE.............

u awkwardly started looking to your left and tried turning ur face away from him

‘oh look at those beautiful um... birds.. yeah’

hopefully he didnt notice

*nervously sweats*

u didnt dare look back in that direction so u spent the rest of your evening in the park on ur phone or playing with suki

eventually it reached 8pm so u packed up ur stuff and went home

U were still kind of thinking about that boy....

so u were like

i need to go back

and u did Lol

u went back the next day at 6pm this time with suki

it was lighter out and the sky was beautiful

perfect for a certain boy to be taking photos

*evil laugh*

u were walking for like 15 minutes and u didnt see him anywhere :((((

the one time u go there for HIM

u settled down under a tree

suki immediately went on the blanket when u sat down too

you played tug of war with her and fed her some treats while playing

playing with her for 10 minutes straight definitely tired u out so u laid down and just stared at the sky

it was a faded blue turning into orange and pink

U were kinda bored so u sat up and started petting suki

you would occasionally glance up at the strangers walking past u

and

let me tell u what Happened..

u looked up at another lady walking her dog and went like

‘aweee that dog is so cute’ in ur head

and u took ur eyes off the dog and glanced to ur right

idk bc u felt like it

AND GUESS WHAT U SEE???!??????

THE BOY

LIKE 20 FEET AWAY

STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD

AND HE HAD HIS CAMERA UP TO HIS FACE

and it WAS POINTED AT U ??!?!

as soon as u looked in his direction he jumped and put his hands down

he like

Blushed????? and awkwardly smiled u know rubbing the neck and all that

he was embarrassed

ur cheeks were turning so red

BUT HE WAS SO ADORABLE

was kind of weird.... stalkerish but um

he cleared that up BECAUSE

He started walking over to u

he was wearing black jeans that were ripped on the knees with black high top converse

and a gray sweater with a black coat over it

HE JUST LOOKED CUTE OK

ur were like OMg []£{€]%[#{%€]£{

n he just Plop

he stood right infront of u basically towering bc u were sitting under the tree

suki noticed the boy and tilted her head like hmmmm???

u had the SMALLEST smile on ur face bc u wanted to seem friendly but not TOO friendly

he had his camera strap over his arm while he held it and his other hand was rubbing the name of his neck

“uh... sorry about that.. i didn’t mean to seem weird or anything!” he waved his hands infront of him to deny it

u just sat there while he talked like ❤️_❤️

“im uh taking photos for my class and i thought u looked nice so i took some pictures.. im really sorry i should’ve asked first now i seem weird or something im really-,”

u cut him off so he didnt ramble any longer

“no its okay! i get it” you gave him a warm smile and pet suki while she drifted to your side and kept her eyes on him

u both just stared at eachother for a few seconds before you spoke

“um.. would you like to sit?” you scooted over and made room for him in the blanket

WOW U WERE FEELING BOLD TODAY...

“uh sure” he set his camera down and sat beside u

“this is suki.. shes my cousins dog” u said when she climbed into his lap and started sniffing him

he grinned and pet her before looking up at you

“im ni-ki by the way” his cheeks turned a bit pink which u thought was cute

“y/n” you smiled

“suki seems to like you” u laughed

“so how long have you been working on this project or whatever?”

“oh um i started last week... i just have to make a portfolio of photos i take and turn it in” he said while keeping his eyes trained on suki

u noticed he didnt make eye contact with u often but u knew it was probably because he was nervous because u do that too

“can i see the pictures...?” u hesitantly ask him

his eyes light up when u say that

“yeah!”

AWE HES SO EXCITED

he picks up his camera next to him and clicks a few buttons

“oh by the way... ive noticed u at the park before! you’re always with the camera” you laugh

“ah yeah, this park is where most of my project photos are taken.”

he leans over and shows you the pictures on the device

“woah” you let out a gasp

he showed u the picture he took of you first

How does a picture look better than real life...

you’ve never really been into photography but now that you’ve seen his work u might just have to start getting into it

“this isnt even done yet, i still have to edit it so it’ll look even more perfect” he shyly says

“this is amazing what the heck” your jaw is Dropped

“thanks”

“i need to see the final result” u said because it was such a nice picture

“um.. if you give me your number i can show you it” he sent you a cheeky grin

SMOOTH.....

he was so AGGGHGGHG ur kind of obsessed

you two exchange numbers and talk about random things for a whole hour until he says he has to go

“it was really nice meeting you.. i had fun” he tells you as he starts standing up

suki is sleeping so he tries not to wake her up

“i had fun too” you smile

“would you like me to walk you to your car?”

A GENTLEMAN !!?!?!?!

“oh yeah, thanks”

you two spend another 2 minutes together as you walk side by side with suki in your arms and he held your blanket and bag for you

you reached your car and thanked him

“ill see you soon, dont forget to text me! and good luck on the project, i know you’ll do great”

“thank you..”

ni-ki’s cheeks turn pink once more before he turns around and starts walking away with a smile on his face

he is just the cutest thing ever

you definitely need to see him again

HI hello hope you're enjoying this nice rainy Tuesday, I was listening to 'The Only House That's Not On Fire (Yet)' and I know it's a ATDAO bop and I was just curious as to how exactly? May I request a Ramble? As in-depth as you would care to be? Thank you thank you

hey hey hello hi!! I am enjoying this nice rainy-Tuesday-that-is-now-a-not-rainy-Thursday c: I hope you're enjoying it also, hope you're goin good, hope you're up to all sorts of cool stuff!

thank you for the question!!! I am always always excited at any opportunity to ramble about ATDAO song choices so as soon as I saw this in my inbox my thoughts started going a billion miles an hour

anyway, hey, yeah, ramble time! ramble might be a little fuzzily-worded because my brain is a little fuzzily-everythinged but hopefully it makes enough sense ahaha

ok, so!

this one is a bit of a peculiarity on the ATDAO playlist, actually! it falls into the category of "this song doesn't have an awful lot of direct plot relevance and is mostly just here because Vibes" yet, somehow, if pressed to name the song on the playlist that encapsulates ATDAO best as a whole, I would say it comes pretty close to the top spot :P

so, yes, a lot of the specifics of the lyrics don't particularly fit if we're thinking in literal terms......... the ENERGY is unparalleled though. HOWEVER I do have some particular parts of the song I can direct your attention to, of course, which I'll get into in a sec -

but ya, as for the song as a whole? it's the cheerful, upbeat acceptance of a series of completely bizarre circumstances! it's just a good bop for being like Welp I Guess This Is My Life Now. and being so accustomed to the completely bonkers state of your reality that it's all just completely mundane to you, which parallels to ATDAO so nicely

plus the start of the second verse, like so

I feel strangely regular / but honestly I prefer it to the usual bizarre / damn that oxymoron

AND the very...... feeling....... concept.....? of this being the only house that's not on fire yet is just kind of like........ I mean, whatever the narrator of the song is involved in, it very much gives me the impression of being entirely at the whims of some force that's volatile and completely incomprehensible

with the "yet" being crucial

But something keeps me as a pet / the only house that's not on fire yet

combined with the general tone of the music gives me the image of just like. sitting on ur front porch sipping a margarita, having just watched the rest of your street devolve into chaos and fire knowing you're completely at the mercy of something bizarre and all-powerful and just being like. "hm. yikes. anyway--"

it's a good tone for the general state of the ATDAO world, which is full of people going about their everyday lives against this bizarre backdrop of ever-present looming apocalyptic dread, completely at the whims of a chaotic and indifferent universe

the world is ending! the world is ending! a reality-warping sinkhole just opened in your local bowling alley! but in more pressing concerns, you're almost out of milk, you should try and get to the store before it closes or your mum won't have anything for her cereal tomorrow morning

another point I wanna address is the bridge (?) which is just

the punchline is that there is no punchline

repeated over and over, which is the kicker for this song in its relation to ATDAO imo

'cause like

the theme in ATDAO that keeps coming back and the main......... antagonistic......... concept? force? The Thing The Protagonists Are Constantly Up Against And Struggling With In Some Fashion Or Another? is simply "there is no meaning to this, there is no answer, there is no grand puzzle to be solved, this is all just cold and unfeeling cosmic machinery that doesn't even know you exist"

quite literally, if this is the universe's idea of a joke, there's no punchline

like, the things that happen to Tris and Noa (and Shara and Kai), the things that set the plot in motion, these are acts of chance, these are people being in the wrong place at the wrong time, these are ordinary human people getting swept up into the gears of this endless grinding machine they can barely comprehend and There Is No Point To It. There Is No Motivation Behind It. it happens because it happens!

and there's this shift from like..... seeing it through this very human lens, being angry AT something, being angry AT a particular force, trying to reason with it, trying to plead with it, trying to make it hear you......... to the realisation that there's nothing on the other end of it, there's nothing there to hear you, nothing to take the force of your anger and fear. and like, you knew you were alone, but you're only just realising you're ALONE

n just. "there is no punchline" just clicks FANTASTICALLY for that

(n of course, that's..... grim. so it bears repeating that, like...... the whole heart and soul of ATDAO is people coming face-to-face with the reality of an uncaring unfeeling universe and deciding, Hey, No, Fuck You. it's people caring about people, intentionally, purposefully, violently, no matter the costs! it's the human capacity for love and kindness and connection in the face of horror and indifference! and it matters! even if it doesn't matter at all, it matters!! it matters here and now in this tiny speck of time and space!! love is at the centre of everything!! it's the single greatest act of defiance against the nothing!!!!)

(and that's not relevant to this post at all, I just would have hated to leave on that sort of note LMAO)

long story short: tune good c:

#atdao #a lot of my Just Here Because Vibes songs are ones i'm vaguely annoyed at cuz like #they FIT but they don't FIT-fit y'know?#they're ATDAO-adjacent #they don't add much to the core of the playlist or express the plot in any meaningful way #this song is the exception to that ahahaha #but also as i was typing up this explanation i was like ''wait a minute this is not Just Vibes at all''#oh there's plenty of very concrete reasons this song fits the story actually. i get it now #anyway #i feel like i've mentioned in the past that #''the only house that's not on fire yet'' and ''the nothing'' by freelance whales r two songs that #if you put them in a blender and set it to high and mixed 'em up real good. the end result would be something #that more or less resembles the kind of vibe / genre / feel I want ATDAO to have #i have also i think quoted the only house that's not on fire yet as ''the only motherfucker on this planet who gets my artistic vision''#which is. hm #i don't know about that but also yeah #half the lyrics may not be plot relevant but boy is it a Fucking Mood

hcs: Shinsou, Todoroki & Midoriya with an s/o who gets drunk on apple juice

Hey, this may sound kind of stupid but when I drink apple juice it has the same effect as if I drank alcohol. So can I request hcs for Shinsou, Shouto, & Izuku with an s/o that gets “drunk” by just drinking apple juice, she gets all slow, calls a thing something else, and is overall just wasted, like I don’t remember what I do when I drink apple juice and that’s why I can’t trust it, thank if you do my weird request!

no no it doesn’t sound stupid at all, if anything it seems quite amusing to me lmao, which is why I can’t wait to write this :D hope you enjoy!

I haven’t written in a whiiiilleeee woah, this feels strange but I also missed it so much. I’m gonna try to be as I am usual with writing, I think I just need to get into it again ^^ Anyway enough of my talking about me, now onto the headcanooonssss

Tip jar ^^

Hitoshi Shinsou

okay so

it would take a while for Shinsou to see you in your ‘drunk’ state

because I don’t think he really hangs out with people a lot

and when you two do you just avoid apple juice like the plague because you know exactly what happens if you don’t

but well, one day you’re hanging out the bakusquad who you’re friends with

and of course you knew Shinsou wasn’t there so you went all out with the juice

you aren’t that embarrassed about being that way around your friends as they’re strange too and they had seen you that way before

but

they know that you kindaaaaa like the purple haired boi

and kaminari and sero think that it would be hilaaarious to have him see you like this

so they text him to come to kaminari’s dorm room, where you all are hanging out

Shinsou at first declines the offer bc he just wants to sleep and isn’t in the mood to be annoyed

but then kaminari tells him you’re there too ;)

he leaves out the drunk on juice part :)

He won’t give in immediately, just because he knows he will get teased if he does

so well, he goes to the dorm of class A (Aizawa totally didn’t see him and pretend he wasn’t looking at all) and looks for kaminari’s room

he gets there and is slightly disappointed when bakugou opens the door instead of you

he doesn’t ask where you are, but bakugou knows that shinsou wants to see you

and tbh, he wants to see his reaction to your state too

“she’s inside” is all he says

Shinsou kinda wants to r u n

But he doesn’t

As he enters he can hear yelling from the distance

and there’s just pure confusion on Shinsou’s face

until he enters the living room

he sees you dancing on the couch, yelling some incoherent sentences

mina has joined you at this point and the sight is just really funny

assuming you got drunk on alcohol (y’all are of legal age here we don’t support underage drinking!!) he just chuckles and shakes his head

and then sero decides to tell him you became… that… because of apple juice

to say that Shinsou finds it amusing is an understatement

You’re probably too drunk to even realise what is going on

People who don’t know him maybe won’t be able to tell, but the bakusquad sees he’s enjoying every second of this

“Oh my god look at that cute kitty!!!”

“....y/n that’s a plushie of a bear”

okay now over to when you two are together

Shinsou won’t be controlling about this or anything, since it’s not like you are ruining your kidneys and as long as you aren’t alone things are fine

might tease you the next day over it tho hehe

(after he has taken care of you and you’ve recovered from your ‘hangover’ of course :D)

also imagine him carrying to your dorm :,)

i mean he b u f f e d up didn't he

literally doesn't care if you’re heavy or not he WILL carry you bc you’re his baby!!

might act like he gets annoyed at your drunk state

which he will be sometimes but he wouldn’t trade it for the world

Todoroki Shouto

Todoroki’s reaction is hard to tell from his face probably

I mean he doesn’t make you think he’s annoyed or angry

but he isn’t laughing either

baby is just confused

and before you two are couple he doesn’t exactly know how to take care of you in that state

like he wants to help but,,,, how????

sometimes

he will slightly chuckle at you

and have this teeny tiny adorable smile uwu

“wait what is a canadian flag doing here.”

“..... you mean todoroki?”

okay in order for him to see you like that you will probably have to hang out with the dekusquad

they don’t really drink alcohol, so most drinks that they have are just juice

they know what happens when you drink too much

iida will most likely constantly be telling you off if you drink too much

and uraraka just tries to distract you so you won’t be drinking the whole time

….and midoriya doesn’t really know what to do

anyway, one time, midoriya, being the sweet angel he is, invites todoroki to join you guys

and well he wants to say no first

but then deku rambles and somewhere he mentions you

boy is sold immediately

and by the time he arrives, you are already wasted

and oh lord what a mess

todoroki doesn’t really know how to react

don’t get him wrong, he won’t think of you any less

he just,,, doesn’t know how to help?

“todoroOooooOOokiii, hiiii~” you giggle as you skip over to him

he can’t help but think you’re adorable uwu

baby is blushing

before he realises your attention goes back to the music that you had put on earlier

“SAVAGE LOOOVEEE, DID SOMEBODY DID SOMEBODY BREAK YOUR HEAAART.”

you even try to make him join

haha, no.

but of course he will watch

and secretly enjoy after a while

does feel this unfamiliar pang when he sees you pulling Midoriya with you to dance

dw bub he likes someone else :)

okay and

when you two are together

todoroki tries to keep you as sober as he can

he always sees the regret in your face the day after and he doesn’t like seeing his partner sad :(

todoroki is too pure for this world i’m crying

might not always be the best at comfort the day after but you can tell he does his best

if you ask him to get ice cream he will buy a supply for the next 59 years

it’s the thought that counts right

and of course it will be bought with Endeavor’s credit card :D

Midoriya Izuku

okay so

I think how midoriya handles it can go two ways, depending on whether you two are close or not

if you two are close or have been childhood friends, he will know about your… interesting habit

however, if he doesn’t know you that well he probably has no idea

tho he does analyse people at times, I don’t think the fact that you get drunk on apple juice crosses his mind

if you two are close, he will try his best to keep you ‘sober’

if you do happen to get drunk he will keep a veeeery close eye on you!!

and as soon as a) someone bothers you or b) you’re just completely wasted he will take action

and bring you to your room if it gets too late

“Izuku…. Why is there broccoli on your head?...”

“uhm… That’s my hair y/n…”

he will 100% blush at some things you say

be careful, his poor heart is v fragile

despite his flustered state he will do his best to help

will definitely take care of you the next day

and trust me, if you thank him or tell him he’s doing great this boi will be so happy and blushy uwu

Now, if he isn’t that close to you it will take a while for him to find out about your interesting habit

he might be a little too shy to help, but he might tell your friends if something is wrong

something like “Hey, is y/n alright?”

just so your friends will stay kinda alert

but well, if they’re wasted too he will most likely try to help

he will be a lot more flustered than if you two were close friends

and he won’t know what exactly to do because he doesn’t know your boundaries, at the same time he wants to respect them so,,,, yeah that will be hard for him

now,,, if you two were a couple

be prepared to get pampered

BUT first of all

he will do his best to make sure you don’t get drunk every time you’re given some apple juice

of course he won’t be controlling

he will just kinda remind you how you get when you drink too much

and if you end up getting ‘drunk’, he will keep a v e r y close eye on you

might even be a little overprotective

will definitely leave the party early with you because he knows how you will be the next day

sorry bub it’s for your own good

the next day he will bring whatever you need!!

“uhm… I know what your favourite ice cream flavor is but there were so many brands so i bought them all.”

welp he means well :D

and cuddles!!!

if you need them he will be more than happy to give them

and soft forehead kisses

aaaa i’m so soft

oh one more thing

he will definitely carry you when you’re too drunk

and

if you snuggle up to his chest and/or wrap your arms around his neck

he will be about to explode

“..why is there a pillow on your chest izu?”

poor boy doesn’t know what to do

and whether you are close or not he will check on you the next day

to sum it up he’s just a shy angel that does his best to help you, whether you barely know each other or are in a relationship

Dramatique

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Honestly, it’s far too cold out there!” Genesis griped, letting his head fall back with a dramatic whine. His hands, covered by the sleeves of the sweater he’d burgled from Sephiroth’s closet, flopped onto his face and he drug them down, and all Sephiroth could do was snicker behind his mug of hot chocolate.

“Genesis, I always thought you were too hot to be so cold in the winter.” The look he received, a strange mixture of concession and indignation, made him snort and look away. He was about to spew hot chocolate through his nose if he wasn’t careful. Genesis was the greatest with his overdramatic nature and his adoration of the arts. Sephiroth couldn’t see another man pulling the same stunts in front of him and making him half as happy as Genesis always did.

“I am hot! I’m just-- So, so cold in the winter. It’s like the entire world is out to snuff out my fire.” This time, a dramatic toss of one arm sent his face into the crook of his elbow, and the other arm simply flopped to the bed to hold him up. If he wasn’t careful, he would throw himself to the floor on accident and spend the rest of the night grousing about how everything hurt. Sephiroth was fully aware that his SOLDIER status meant that all of these tiny bumps and bruises didn’t truly bother him, but it was still amusing to watch Genesis make his own problems just to complain about them.

It was something of a favorite past-time of his, watching Genesis overreact to things for his benefit. While it went unspoken between them, Sephiroth knew that this was so much more than he ever did in public, or even with Angeal. This, in all of its melodramatic, soap-drama-esque glory, was just for him.

That, and Genesis parading around in nothing but Sephiroth’s simple black turtleneck and a pair of bright red boxer briefs and nothing else? That was probably just for him, too. Granted, if Genesis was going to bemoan his loss of heat this loudly for much longer, Sephiroth might just have to wrestle him into a pair of warm socks, at least. Maybe those warm, red flannel sleep pants if push came to shove, too.

“Are you going to go on like this all day, love?” Sephiroth asked, finally setting his hot cocoa down on the bedside table. “If you could go five seconds without pretending to be Kimmy, you might notice your cinnamon hot chocolate. If it can’t warm you up, I know I can give it a valiant effort.”

“Kimmy?!” Genesis pouted, shaking his head and rolling his eyes with an indignant huff. “If anything, I’d say I’m more of a Harrison. Just as big of a dramatic flair and only half of the blatant two-faced bitch attitude.”

“You’re right.” Sephiroth nodded, “Harrison is more of a one-faced bitch, isn’t he?”

“Hey!” Reaching over, Genesis smacked the other’s arm before finally taking his drink in both hands and sitting up straight, one knee bent on the bed and the other hanging over the side. “That’s just plain rude.”

“You’re very authentic, Genesis, just like Harrison.” Sephiroth tried with a small smile, sitting beside him and reaching out to gently wrap his hands around the other’s. Genesis rose a brow, giving the other a quick once-over before finally sighing and offering him a pleased smile.

“Authentic, yes. Just like Harrison? Hardly. I would never jeopardize the lives of my loved ones because I was on a bender and didn’t tell them before driving from one end of the continent to the other.” He pointed out, breaking his hands free of Sephiroth’s to take a sip of his drink. Hissing after he swallowed, he gulped again and shook his head. “How in the world did you get it to be hot enough to burn me?”

“I watched you make it so that I could see how to make it how you like it.”

“...Clever. How did you know I enjoy burning my mouth?” The sardonic tone of Genesis’ voice wasn’t lost on Sephiroth for a second.

“Because you never wait long enough for anything to cool. The second you have your food or the drink you made or ordered, it’s going in your mouth, even if you hiss and whine and make a big deal out of it. It’s just how you operate.” Sephiroth said all of this with a gentle, enamored smile on his lips, and Genesis couldn’t help but blush as he tipped the mug back against his lips. Whining softly as he took a long pull from it, he set the mug down on the bedside table and pouted.

“That doesn’t necessarily mean I actually like it when I burn myself.” He pointed out, and Sephiroth was quick to crawl forward and kiss him softly on his lips, pulling Genesis to lay in bed with him. It took a couple of seconds to pull the thick, Chocobo down comforter out from beneath them, but he was happy to wrap Genesis in it and then into his embrace when the struggle was over. Genesis sighed a little, content to be in the other’s arms when it finally struck him that something was off.

“Sephiroth…” He asked slowly, turning to look at the other over his shoulder while his hand traveled over his lover’s bare abdomen, “Are you wearing my sweater?”

“What, is it that noticeable?” Sephiroth purred, leaning in to kiss at Genesis’ cheek and earlobe. The redhead pouted, leaning into the affection despite himself as he crossed his arms and leaned his back more against Sephiroth’s chest.

“You’re wearing the crop top one, that can’t be warm.”

“You weren’t wearing it.” Sephiroth chuckled, nuzzling his hairline, “I thought you might get some amusement out of it.”

“You’d better not stretch it out.” That was all Genesis said as he turned around in the other’s arms, kissing him softly, holding him close by the front of his own sweater. “It does look good on you, though.” He finally admitted, taking a moment to appreciate just how short it was on the other man’s chest. The thought to add ‘crop top sweaters’ to his gift idea list for Sephiroth bubbled up from the deepest part of Genesis’ brain. He decided he should start shopping around online that night when he got the chance.

“Thank you,” Sephiroth replied against the other’s lips, barely able to say much more through the barrage of kisses he received. There was absolutely no time left for Genesis to start his Christmas shopping that night, but it wasn’t like he was complaining.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

AN: Welp, it took me longer to finish this than I would have liked but I hope that it’s good, guys! I really love how it came out, even if it might seem a little rambly. I hope you guys enjoyed it! I know I had a blast writing it.

🍍 🍎 🍉 🥭 !!

Ooooo, right off the bat with very interesting questions I will try my best not to ramble in these!!

🍍: how comfortable is my muse in their body? how do they feel about their height, weight, strength, and body type? how important is being attractive?

She’s comfortable enough in her own skin with some minor grievances that she’ll bottle up to the public but in private ask why the goddesses have forsaken her hJKA!!! I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT BODY TYPE ASDE FROM PETITE?? UH I guess she has more of a petite pear shape? Where the shoulders and bust are small and narrow but the hips are a little wider than the shoulders! Yeah... pear sounds about right. Let’s go with that! But height tends to vary in her family but for the most part, the family on her father’s side have all been tall and she was counting on genetics to work in her favor but welp unfortunately thanks to a chronic health problem she wasn’t able to grow much aside from 5′0″ and even worse for her the form of anemia she has is a rare one that’s combined with the epic combo of heart issues affects things aside from height and that’s strength and stamina. Zelda is very, very upset at her low stamina more importantly with strength coming a close second. She can’t wield bow and arrows let alone the bow of light due to her poor strength and well, I call her a glass canon for a reason because while she has the amazing OP bloodline of goddess blood and seven wise sages coursing through her veins along with light force, it’s the fact that her magic stamina is super low that kills it for her because it’s the result of poor health issues. I swear these headcanons worked before smash came along but more or less why she didn’t fight back against Agahnim despite probably being stronger than him and why Twinrova managed to catch her so easily in the Oracle series! She feels weak, and she hates how weak she feels because she feels that she doesn’t have the amazing strength of the royals in the past to protect her beloved kingdom and people; it most def affects her self-esteem in that regard now that I think about and only adds to the problems of her being a ruler with lots of self-doubt on her abilities despite her ambition in leading her kingdom to the golden age.

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!!!! That’s more or less her thoughts on beauty in the first place and how it affects the whole “attractive” angle of the question. Truth is, while she puts time to look tidy she doesn’t care about how attractive she may seem which is rich since all Zeldas are beautiful goddesses sO SADHJVBSK! She’s more of someone who likes what’s on the inside, the personality being more of merit than the outside. Although like anyone else she would admire pretty people but that’s about it really it doesn’t go beyond what you’d normally think of a celebrity or something! :>

🍎: how stable is my muse’s mental health? have they been diagnosed with any mental illnesses / and or conditions? do they have any undiagnosed mental illnesses and / or conditions? do they or should they attend therapy.

WHEW WELL OK!!! As someone who has diagnosed MI, gives my conditions to my own characters or rp muses, I still make sure to do tons of research and for the most part the history of mental health and how it was treated or looked upon... was not at all good back then. It’s downright horrific in some cases and depending on societies actually, so in Zelda’s time she would be undiagnosed with depression along with the trauma she’s faced in ALTTP and being kidnapped in oracles series. She has a lot of baggage to deal with but she tends to bottle things up because as ruler she cannot show any sign of weakness (weeps feeding into her insecurities of not being able to use magic as well) and well, tends to emotional detach herself to numb out whatever feels she may feel. It’s sad and I have to say hard yes that she needs to attend therapy to better herself but welp ;v; again middle ages so that’s unlikely.

🍉: which of the four seasons suits my muse best, and why?

FALL!!! I’m not saying that because spooky holiday... ok well that’s part of it actually. But in every fanart I see with her, there’s always inclusions of apples and usually fall time is best season for apples/apple picking. It tends to get a little cooler too up north so I can just imagine her wearing sweaters and enjoying hot cider after a long day of work. There’s a beautiful nostalgia to this season, along with that symbolism of change due to the drastic transformation before seasons melt into winter and I feel that encompasses Zelda best. It’s the end but also the beginning, sometimes change is scary but it’s not at all a bad thing and well I feel that mentality fits her best, esp given for her admittedly edgy romantic outlook on life. uvu

🥭 : how important to my muse is their hometown, or where they’re from? are they proud of it, or considered a hometown hero? did they move away, or do they wish to?

Cries, Zelda’s love for her hometown is the same love that could spread throughout the tiny villages dotting the maps of Hyrule SHE LOVES THE ENTIRE KINGDOM MAN!!! So while Hyrule Castle Town is important to her for sure the same could be said for the tiny villages throughout Hyrule. As such, she views each settlement in the kingdom just as important as the capital Castle Town, she feels the same pride and love and joy for the towns as she does for Castle Town that said she can’t really move away at the moment and while she wishes she can settle in Kakariko because quiet life appeals to her, she’s comfortable in the city too! She loves seeing people from all walks of life. Wants to hear their stories and man she just has a lot of love in that tiny body hweoh. NOT SURE IF SHE CAN BE CALLED A HOMETOWN HERO GIVEN HER CANON STATUS AS HOPE OF THE PEOPLE ;v; while the people of Hyrule sees her as hope and anything bad happening to her is killing off hope itself; she more or less views both everyone in Hyrule and the castle as a better symbol of hope than her because tfw low self-esteem due to perceived weakness and she feels she didn’t really do enough to be considered “The Hope of Her People”.

#thanks so much for sending these in!! very fun stuff to think about >:3c #answered.#me: i won't ramble uvu #me: rambles anyway #hyliangrace

I write as a hobby but it's been over a year since my last story and I'm scared my writing won't be as good as it used to. English isn't my first language and I've been neglecting it because I study Japanese in college. My vocab is shrinking because I keep forgetting words and even when I try to learn new ones to compensate, it's hard for them to stay in my brain. (Maybe because I'm an idiot and my IQ is dropping.) Am I asking for help or just venting? I don't even know. Thanks for reading.

Hello anon!I’m sorry to see you stuck like that … I do know the feeling, it’s really ugly.I’m not sure either if this was more a vent or looking for advice… but since Ican’t just ignore this without tryingto help, I hope it’s okay if I hit you with some advice here. If you don’t wantit, just stop reading. I won’t be offended. =D

First of,can I just say – learning Japanese? That’s huge,dude! If I remember that correctly, that’s one difficult language to learn,and I’m super impressed you’re working on that. I would probably give up. I’menvious though, I always wanted to learn it. Fingers crossed it’s working outfor you!

Then as forthe writing – I feel that one, this hits close to home. I’m not going to pretendI can take all your worries away on that, but I will still ramble at you aboutit. (Yes, that’s half a threat.) Maybe it will help. Maybe I will annoy you. It’sa gamble.

So, here wego:

Did youknow that everyone has two vocabularieson every language? One is made up from the words that we actually know, and the second one is the words weactually use in speech and writing.So even if you theoretically know the words, deep down (proving you wrong onthat IQ statement ;)), you will not remember / use them while writing. There’sstudies on that.

I wasactually really glad to find that out, because I noticed that my vocab whilewriting seemed extremely tiny. XD

I will tellyou what I do while writing, from one non-English-speaker to the other, maybethat will help you:

Don’t worry about a good vocab for the moment,while writing the story down.

Just writewith the words you recall. If you can’t remember one then, there’s no shame inlooking it up (I do that all the time, dictionary is my best friend). Then,when reading over it again, whenever you see a word that you have used often,or one that makes you think “isn’t therea better word for this?”, google synonyms,or use the dictionary again. If you feel like you found a word that’s better,that makes the sentence richer, put that one in the old one’s place. Ta-dah!Colorful vocabulary acquired, and nobody who later reads the story will noticethat you had to look anything up!

I won’t tellyou to not be afraid because that’s, just, not gonna work, and I know that. ButI will tell you – do it anyway. Don’t let the fear stun you into doing nothing.You’re never going to find out if it is good or bad if you don’t write it. You’renever going to get better again if you don’t practice writing (and yes, Ibelieve writing is a practiced skill just like a lot of others). And even if itis “bad” or worse than you’re used to, the story can still be good! People canstill enjoy it when reading!

Can I tellyou something? When I wrote my very first English work – I used to write inGerman, my first language, but had not written for a long time then – I wasfreaking terrified how it would turnout. I only kept going because I really really wanted to, I had been soinspired by @athanatosora‘s Dad Might content that I just wanted to try it, too. That story Iwrote then is “Smile again”, andwhile it’s really not good in the sense of “good English”, people still enjoyit, and I’m still proud of it. Super glad I wrote it! =)

I’m stillscared while working on my stuff to this day. That comic I’m drawing right now?I’m scared. Constantly worrying I will mess up. Still having fun when I losemyself in the process, but worrying once I look at it without the rush ofcreating.

But I cantell you, it worked for me to take a deep breath – maybe take a short breakfrom working – and tell myself it doesn’thave to be perfect. It’s going to get done, and it will have the quality ithas. Maybe it’s good, and I can be proud of it. Maybe it’s bad, and I can learnfrom it, and do better next time.

Anon, Ithink every creator is, at some point, scared of how it will turn out. That’snormal. That’s the curse of a creator. The trick is – don’t be petrified. Doit. Just do it. You will surprise yourself with how it turns out better thanyour fear was trying to make you believe. =)

Welp, thatwas long. Did I lose you halfway through? XD Anyway, anon, I really hoped thishelped you a little bit, if you needed it. And I really hope you’re going towrite your story! Ganbatte – is that how they say? I’m sure it’s going to turnout great. =D

♡Preference 3♡: He's secretly in love with you (Maknae Line)

I always enjoy these types of preferences

In this one they confess in the next one which will be the Hyung line, they won't

Jungkook:

He knew you were the one he could see himself with for a long time if not forever... And for some reason he felt you knew this too but just didn't say anything. Imagine his surprise when you said "I am officially Dating Y/f/n!" You squeeled and naturally his smile visibly faltered "you can't be serious" he didn't even attempt to hide his disappointed mood. "Y/n you're joking right...?" But you Shook your head "I'm sorry that you don't approve but it's true" you said frowning "Y/n of course I don't.... Y/n I love you, you know this" "I thought I knew" you argued "no you did... And you still- you just don't feel the same." Jungkook said as you looked at him feeling hurt by his words. "I do feel the same" you whispered "but you're dating someone else how does that say you feel the same?" He snorted "I did because you wouldn't take charge!" You nearly yelled "take charge? I thought it was obvious" he replied "I wasn't sure I don't just look at actions and say 'oh he's acting this way so I guess we're dating now' this isn't elementary school Kook" you say sarcastically "but you still KNEW! Why do I have to confess first why not you?" He said getting in your face "it's just what I prefer" you shrugged.

"Oh and so I'm supposed to just do what you prefer?" He laughed sarcastically "no" you whispered looking down in defeat as it became silent for a few seconds "tell me what you feel right Now Y/n.. For me" he said with a pleasantly low voice . You looked up and your eyes met ".....I love you Jungkook, I wanna be with you... What I said about dating Y/f/n before was simply a lie to see if you'd finally actually ask me out But, I see no problem in me asking you to be mine. So now I'm asking.. Jeon Jungkook will you go out with me?" It took no longer than 5 seconds for him to smile and kiss all over your face "it's about time! Now was that so hard?" He taunted "Yes of course I will be yours you should've known this already girl" he winked. Yep he'd be a handful.

But at least you finally had him.

Taehyung:

He was excited as he played the words in his head over and over "welp. I'm officially single and not ready to mingle" is what you said and although you said you weren't ready to mingle which meant you weren't gonna look for a relationship again for a while he still knew 'you were single' and you were less happy than him and the whole day he was just more the hyper. You watched him skip ,jump, hop through your house "you sure are happier than me about this whole situation" you eyed him weirdly and he froze and smiled at you "I get my favorite girl back full time why wouldn't I be?" he said and you looked at your hands "about that, I'm sorry I aloud him to take me away fron you so much TaeTae" you sighed while leaning back on your couch "don't mention it ,it's all fine now" he gave you his signature smile but you still were bummed.

Tae knew that it was now time to stop celebrating and console you... But more celebration later because after all he did secretly want to be with you himself. He calmed himself before he sat next to you and wrapped his arm around your shoulder as you leaned into his side.

"You will be just fine without him" he said "how do you know?" "Because you were fine before him and you will be fine after.. Maybe not for a while but you will and that I'll make sure of" he assured you making you smile up at him "thank you TaeTae" and he hummed in response.

"There are plenty of other options although I know you hate starting again, you should always know that the people who are meant to be in your life stay no matter the obstacles but, those who are temporary leave almost immediately" ...good one Tae.

"I hope you aren't temporary.... Nah I know you're forever so, you'll stay with me forever? " you said looking up into his eyes as he looked down at you a nodded "of course". "If things get tough I'll always be here" he kissed your forehead and smiled at what he heard you say "I want a guy like you Tae" you sighed, he looked at you "now why find a guy like Tae when you can have him" your eyes grew wide "Tae-" but he shushed you and you just did while relaxing into his side again as he leaned back "in due time we will get our chance to be together I can wait a bit, but this will never end" he said and you just nodded. Excited to be with him in the future.

Jimin:

You had an admirer who'd send you cute notes complimenting you, a flower once a week was sent to your door until you had a bouquet, even a few snacks here and there... You had grown to love it but it only made you curious as well. Everytime you'd get a delivery but no one would be there and sometimes you'd wait directly by the door and when you opened it up there was still no one so, who on earth could move that fast?

Park Jimin, your best friend could.

Though you didn't know it was him he knew it and had been there when you got things sometimes when he wasn't the one delivering them and running away. "Jimin!" You screeched as he sat at your kitchen Island, man did he love your voice "Yo I just got a new gift from my admirer" you said slightly jumping up and down ...he loved how you liked his gifts and notes so much "oh? What is it this time" he asked as if he didn't already know it was a bracelet "I don't know but we bout to find out" you said dancing a bit and making him laugh. You untied the gold glitter ribbon from the red tiny box and once you opened it you saw red paper and quickly moved it, Jimin laughed at your eagerness because it was cute and soon your hand flew up to your mouth "get the fu-.. Omg" you gasped as you pulled the glistening bracelet out the box "look at the baby" you said. "This costs more than my house probably- although I pay a pretty decent amount for this house and it's nice BUT that's besides the point" you rambled. "Your beauty is one thing but will never over shadow your grace" you coo'd as you read the note on the box "so sweet".

Jimin sat with his palm in his hand as he watched you but then he wondered. What if you only would like the gifts.. What if he revealed himself and you didn't feel the same. So he just had to ask this; "hey Y/n" you hummed in response examining your new wrist piece "if the person who gave these things to you revealed themselves... Would you be interested in them or just the gifts?" He was afraid of what you might answer but he just had to know. You shrugged "if he was a creepy old guy, or an old guy... Or just a creep in general then yes but, if he's my age then I might just like him.. I'd get to know him and let him know I appreciate the gifts but tell him that's not all I want from him" you explained.

Jimin couldn't help but smile "what a relief" he whispered. You soon did something odd , you sniffed the note on the box "what're you doing?" "Maybe if I smell the box I'll know the scent and find out who it is... I've noticed these boxes smell like a familiar cologne. I can't remember who I've smelled it on though" you said. Jimin started to get nervous he didn't know his scent was on everything he'd given you "that's rediculous" he chuckled nervously "actually I've smelled this even when I didn't get gifts" you said walking towards Jimin and eyeing him suspiciously "oh shit" he mumbled but he wasn't gonna admit it yet "oh really? Who wears it?" He asked. You put your hands on the table and leaned towards him and inhaling slightly before you tilted your head to look at him "you" you said.

He was losing it "me? Well it must be a coincidence" he laughed "yeah what's funnier is that I only know 3 people to wear this scent, those people being; you, Taehyung and Ten, but they don't visit as often as you to let it linger so much" ....oops "well whoever it is has good taste in cologne it's a weird coincidence and I got to go" he said quickly getting up from the island and heading towards your hallway. "Why won't you admit it's you?" you yelled to him "because it isn't" he called back "then why are you leaving all of a sudden?" "Because I have to go" he said grabbing your front door knob and opening it.

He didn't know why he was running. After all he did kinda want you to know but he wanted to tel you not just have you find out... Now it just seemed stupid.

"I like you too" you said and he almost Instantly turned around. "Seriously?" You just nodded "for real" you giggled "like for real for real" he asked coming to wrap his arms around your waist "as real as I can be" you wrapped your arms around his back and hugged him .

"Now tell me why you went through all this instead of telling me? " you said letting him go "I was going to eventually but sometimes I think it's better to write things than say them... I'm a singer remember?" He joked a bit you understood that he felt he couldn't say certain things so he wrote them "I'm glad you found out though because now I don't have to confess" "true" you agreed "thanks to your detective dog like nose senses" he mumbled and you pinched him making him wince.

"I love you too" he said.

I got a little carried away with my Bias... Y'all know how it be sometimes 🙂 What can I say? I love Jimin so don't judge I'm sorry.

Tied Up In You | NOLLIE

Who: Oliver Smythe and Noah Duval ( @tapdancingduval )

When: Saturday 13th April

Where: Noah Duval’s room

Notes: Two mildly uncomfortable boys try bondage in a way that works for them; sex and emotional conversations follow.

He was surprised that he didn’t feel nervous. He had thought all week that he would feel nervous, scared possibly and he’d avoided thinking about it too much in order to avoid dwelling on any negative feelings. Instead of feeling sick, or nervous, he found he felt rather calm about the whole affair. He trusted Noah; and he found his mind focusing on this being a new thing they explore, something that might just be fun. He was focusing more on the idea that Noah would be kissing him, touching him everywhere more than the actual being tied up part but that was beside the point. He’d shooed Noah out of the kitchen after dinner and taken some time to clean up; when he was finished, he took a settling breath and went to kneel at his feet. He managed to keep a straight face for a few seconds before he started to laugh, hiding his face against Noah’s thigh. ‘I’m sorry. I wanted to start this off right. I wanted to do what I’m supposed to do but I just -- I feel ridiculous kneeling for you.’ He shook his head and reached over to take Noah’s hand in his own and kissed the back of his hand. ‘Are you ready Noe?’

After he was ‘kicked’ out of the kitchen, Noah went to the couch and sat down waiting for the nerves to hit. And yeah, they were there, but there wasn’t the panic he was expecting. That wasn’t to say that he didn’t feel about 200 kinds of ways about the whole idea of D/s and scenes and all the rest of it. It was just that here and now it wasn’t about any of that. It was just about him and Oliver finding a way to stay true to themselves and still make it through the system. He trusted Oliver completely. And knew that neither of them would let this become about anything but about each other. These were the thoughts that were running through his head when his boyfriend came and knelt at his feet. His eyes went wide not planning on that, but any panic was offset by Oliver’s amazing laugh. His own bubbled up as he put his hand on the top of his head and playing with his hair. “S’okay. Kind weird for me too.” He didn’t judge people who liked that, but it wasn’t exactly their bag. He melted as Ollie kissed his hand. “Yeah… Yeah, I am.” He stood up and gently pulled his boyfriend up with him. “Got everything set up in the bedroom.” He walked them back, though had to stop in the doorway to pull him into a kiss. “Sorry. Just needed to do that before we start.” Which sounded strange since the whole scene was going to be about kissing and touching. “Guess we should start with the formal ‘business’ stuff. Safewords and limits and all of that, yeah?”

The most important thing he could do was make Noah feel at ease. That felt infinitely more important that anything he could do for himself. He let himself be led through to the bedroom and felt his knees weaken slightly when Noah paused in the doorway to kiss him. ‘You never have to apologise for kissing me.’ he reminded him gently, reaching up to rest his hand against his cheek. ‘My safeword is just red. It’s never something I thought a great deal about so I just went for something generic --’ He caught himself starting to ramble and he stopped, giving Noah a grin. ‘Limits -- I honestly don’t know what they all are. I don’t fully know what I’m going to be comfortable with but I promise I’ll tell you if something does make me uncomfortable. I -- Bloodplay, knifeplay, scat; all that extreme stuff. Forced orgasms, being blindfolded or left alone.’ He listed off, struggling to list off everything. ‘What about you? What’s your safeword? Your limits?’

Noah sighed and leaned a bit into the hand on his cheek. He nodded along with his boyfriend. He’d often wondered about the whole limits thing. Not that he thought there shouldn’t be limits or that they should be discussed. Talking about this stuff was intrinsic to consent, but he wondered how many submissives felt comfortable letting their limits change… expand and contract as often as they wanted. He was lucky that Oliver would always be honest and vocal about what he needed. “I’m red too. Seems like the easiest thing. Mostly the same limits too. Add to that not giving humiliation or pain more than a fun little butt smack or two.” He smiled and winked. “But yeah, basically if you really want to try something or hate something I trust you to ask me and I know you trust me he same way.” He pulled him into a kiss and walked him backward toward the bed. “Trust you with everything.” It was true in such a deep way. “Thank you for letting me worship you today.” He skated his hands up under his shirt along his sides. “Ready?”

His eyes fell closed as soon as Noah kissed him and he kept them closed even after he pulled away. He took several deep breaths, letting the air escape from his lungs with a slow shudder. Was he ready? As ready as he could be. He opened his eyes and flashed his boyfriend the warmest grin he could manage. ‘I’m ready Noah.’ He promised him softly. Goosebumps appeared on his skin as his boyfriend slid his eyes up his sides and he shivered. His mind immediately started to make a list of the things he needed to do for this scene to work; strip, fold his clothes away, find the rope — he stopped himself from thinking too hard. Noah would tell him what he needed. His role in all this was to listen first.

Welp, there was nothing else but to do it. He smiled and continued to move his hands up. “I’m going to undress you and then I want you to put your clothes folded up on the chair.” He supposed most dominants would order their sub to undress, but he wasn’t most dominants and Oliver was unlike any submissive in the whole damn world. He was going to enjoy slowly revealing his beauty respecting and worshipping as he went. He proceeded to do just that. As each bit of skin was revealed he would kiss or suck on the warm flesh, soothing with stroked of his fingertips. “So beautiful.” He hoped Oliver didn’t mind he word. Such an overused and gender differentiated one and yet to him the perfect description of Oliver’s body. Every dip and curve, every hard muscle and soft inch of skin. Soon his boyfriend was completely stripped. He avoided stimulating at this point, not wanting this to become an edging session. As much fun as that could be this wasn’t a sexual scene. This was about worship and sensory stimulation not sexual stimulation. He brought his hand up to the back of Ollie’s neck and played with the soft hairs at the back of his neck. “Can you lay down for me?”

His boyfriend was magic. He’d always felt Noah was at least a little magic but it was confirmed in that moment as he undressed him, confirmed with every kiss, or soothing stroke of his fingertips. Magic because suddenly it felt impossible to be nervous. There wasn’t a person alive who was capable to taking care of him the way Noah did; there wasn’t anyone else he had the same trust in. He could fall and his boyfriend would catch him every time. He wasn’t sure how vocal a submissive was supposed to be but he always talked and he wasn’t going to change that now. ‘You feel really good.’ He avoided using his name or a title. He wasn’t totally comfortable with that yet and he wasn’t sure Noah was either. ‘I love when you touch me like this; those sly little strokes against my skin whenever you see it.’ He smiled at him. He took another deep breath and moved onto the bed. He thought he’d feel more exposed than he did, but being naked around Noah, regardless of his state of dress, apparently wasn’t something that phased him. ‘Where should I — Where do you want my arms?’

Oliver’s voice was just about his favorite thing in the world. “That works out because I really like touching you.” Noticing that his boyfriend wasn’t using a title, Noah felt a sense of relief. He supposed there would come a time, that they’d have to use it when they were in public, when they hopefully convinced the heads to give them what everyone guilted them for not wanting and yet also taunted them that they couldn’t get… a claim, their get out of jail free card. He helped Ollie on to the bed. “Above your head.” He slid his hand up his side and up his arm guiding it up above his head. “I’m trying to do any kind of tickle torture,” He smiled and winked. “so let me know right away if something is ticklish.” He focused his attention on tying his hands. The knots were simple and included a quick release, the end of which he put in Oliver’s right hand. When he’d started studying bondage he’d made sure he could do a quick release better than anyone. It seemed to him, you had no business tying someone up if they couldn’t release themselves anytime they wanted. “Okay, so you can pull that anytime you need and your hands will be free. The temperature was a little warm for him, but was hopefully perfect for Oliver without clothes. “I’m going to start at your feet. Remember, if you need anything let me know, yeah?” He smiled anxious to show Oliver with his touch how much… how deep he felt about him. His touch was not too light, but not intended to cause any discomfort. His thumbs pressed firmly muscle while fingertips explored every dip and curve. He lingered over tiny imperfections and scars wondering what story they held, wanting to know everything about him, but willing to wait a lifetime to learn it. Occasionally he would kiss a patch of skin, maybe even suck a little hickie into life. They would fade before he’d even reached his head, but they were like a trail of breadcrumbs marking his journey.

He wished he didn’t tense when Noah was tying knots to secure his arms in place. It wasn’t that he thought for a second he wasn’t safe; it was just the feeling of not being on control starting to sink in. His nerves were soothed when his boyfriend pressed the end of the rope into his palm. He knew him. Noah’s touch was perfect; it was purposeful, gentle, soothing. He let his eyes close, and his breath escaped his lips in raspy exhales until he got himself under control. ‘Kiss me there.’ He asked, speaking for the first time when Noah’s fingers brushed against his hip. ‘Please.’ He added hastily, recalling he wasn’t supposed to be demanding anything. He was supposed to be there for Noah’s pleasure. ‘That’s just — that’s a good spot. I love when you touch me there. It’s so intimate and sweet. And you do it sometimes when we’re out. When my shirt is untucked, sometimes you rest your fingers there and it just - it makes me feel really good Noe.’ He thought he would feel more desperate to touch him than he did. The longer he laid there, the more content he became to let Noah explore and found other ways, without touch, to let him know how much he was enjoying this.

When Oliver asked him to kiss him on his hip. He smiled and obliged dipping his head down to kiss across the hip, the soft dip all along to the jutting bone. “Thank you. Thank you.” He could never and would never be one of those people who imagined they could know everything their partner needed. Hell, that word itself said it. Even in this, even in a scene, they were partners. He couldn’t do it alone. He smiled and kept kissing, letting his thumbs fall into the V created by Oliver’s hip bones. “You’re precious… so damn special.” Every sound he made led him along the path of his worship of Oliver and his body.

The attention was a lot. It wasn’t too much; it was exactly the right amount. He had genuinely forgotten he couldn’t move his arms because he was so lost in every press of Noah’s fingers, every brush of his lips, every nip of his teeth. ‘Please don’t stop.’ he whispered, squeezing his eyes shut tight. It wasn’t supposed to be a sexual scene but he couldn’t help but feel a little aroused by the whole experience. He could feel his cheeks heat up both from Noah’s whispered praise and encouragement; and the realisation that he was enjoying this. And that was a good thing right? Noah wanted him to enjoy this otherwise he wouldn’t be doing it.

He wasn’t planning on stopping, though the kernel of sexual arousal building inside of him. He thought maybe after the scene was done they could make love. But for now he needed to keep focused on the scene. It mattered that he did this right. Even if they didn’t do scenes like other people, the importance of it was still there. What was a revelation for him was that they could do this in a way that they both enjoyed it. Ollie sounded good… sounded better than good and he loved getting to just lavish this attention on him. He was up to his shoulder now, biting just a tiny bit harder, on his collarbone, but not enough to do anything other than pink up the skin. “Love the taste of you. Love the sounds you make. Love you.” His hand reached up idly to rub at the skin around the rope, wanting to make sure that there was no chafing or discomfort.

The teasing nips to his collarbone was the most divine sort of torture. His body thrummed with a need for more; he longed to feel Noah biting and sucking, knowing a bruise was forming under his lips but at the same time, what he was doing was just right. ‘I love you.’ He breathed, eyes now open and farting around as his gaze followed the Dominant’s hands. He glanced back when he rubbed at his arms and wrists. ‘I’m okay Noe. I’m not in any pain or discomfort.’ He promised him gently.

“Good,” he said simply. Maybe the headmistress would laugh at the notion, but if he had to be a ‘dominant’ this was how he did it. He took care of people and more than anything he wanted to take care of Oliver. Wanted to love him, touch him, worship him, laugh with him, cry with him, live with him. “But I know how hard it is for you to be tied. You’re so brave to trust me to do it.” He rubbed his wrists a little longer and then moved up to kiss right there, thrilling at the feel of his pulse under his lips. “You’ve done so good. Thank you, thank you for giving me this.” He didn’t hear this a lot from the dominants in his classes, but really when a submissive agreed to a scene… any kind of scene they were giving something really special, really amazing to another person. They were giving intense trust and if you weren’t grateful that, what were you doing?

Honestly it was hard to even notice that he was bound with the way Noah was kissing and touching him. He told him as much although when he tried to do so, his words were a little disjointed and breathless. His head felt a little weird; it wasn’t a bad feeling, just different and maybe a little off. ‘I’ll give you anything Noah. Moon on a string, remember?’ He chuckled, itching to touch him not for the first time. ‘Thank you.’ He echoed back. This was as big a step for Noah as it was for him and he was absolutely going to acknowledge that. ‘You have no idea how incredible you are. Make me feel so safe. Even doing this, something I was so nervous about.’ He doesn’t undo the bindings but he does pull on them a little to make himself sit up as much as he can. ‘Let me kiss you.’ He requests quietly, feeling the slightest strain from how he’s now stretched. He has no intention of undoing anything however; that’s up to his boyfriend.

“Moon on a string,” Noah repeated. It seemed like a just a line and it would be if anyone else said it. But rolling off Oliver’s lips and tongue it was truth, it was promise, it was reality. His eyes went wide and playful at the question and as his boyfriend pulled against the bindings toward him. He laughed and answered by bringing his lips to Oliver’s first just soft and sweet, a press of lips to lips, but quickly grew in intensity. When he pulled away to breath, he rested his forehead against Ollie’s. “I think I’d really like to end the scene now. You were amazing… so freakin’ amazing… Just… just wanna make love to you now.”

For other couples, it might have been a blink and you’d miss it sort of thing but for them, the scene had felt monumental. The first step over the first hurdle in finding a more permanent happy ending. Kissing Noah in that moment was some sort of perfect torture because all he wanted to do was wrap his arms around him and it was the one thing he couldn’t. ‘I want you to undo it.’ He swallowed, holding the end for the quick release out towards him. ‘I’m not scared or uncomfortable so I don’t want to be the one who undoes it.’ He explained. He hoped it made the same sense to Noah as it did in his brain. As soon as his arms were free, he pushed himself up and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend’s neck and kissed him the way he really wanted to, pouring every feeling of love and pride into it. ‘You were incredible.’ He whispered, resting his hand against his heart. ‘And yeah, making love sounds absolutely perfect. I’m not nearly ready to stop feeling you.’

Noah nodded and reached up to take the quick release out of Ollie’s hand. But he didn’t pull it. Instead he untied it as carefully and purposefully as he’d tied it, unwinding and undoing knots until his boyfriend’s arms and hand were completely free. He massaged his shoulders as he brought the arms back down. “Okay?” He kissed each shoulder before turning playful and biting the right one. “Mmmm…. I think maybe I’m a little overdressed.” He pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it over shoulder. Before diving in for another kiss. “We did it! We did an actual scene.” Yeah, sure maybe everyone else would find his triumph silly over such a small scene. But he felt accomplished, proud of himself and Oliver. No he wanted nothing more than to keep touching and kissing.

His delight was absolutely infectious. He couldn’t describe the way he felt seeing Noah so elated and he could only hope that the Dominant was giving himself a lot of credit. The satisfaction and safety he felt leading up to, and during the scene hadn’t really been down to his feelings for Noah. They’d been down to who he knew he was as a person. He’d watched him only weeks beforehand get so down on himself because he felt like he’d failed Silas as a Dominant. He didn’t have a lot of experience but if Silas had felt even close to the way he did, he couldn’t see how Noah could possibly have failed. ‘We did an actual scene.’ He echoed, eyes bright. Hands now free to roam, he stroked along his boyfriend’s back, up his sides and across his chest. It hadn’t been long but he felt like he had to make up for lost time in touching him. ‘I want you to top.’ It probably didn’t need to be said, but he said it anyway. He spoke between lazy kisses, letting the words escape each time he pulled back.

Noah was more than happy to oblige there. He felt a need to be inside of his boyfriend, connected in a way that was more profound than even the most well thought out scene. He’d always loved sex, from his first fumbling time as a gawky awkward teenager through all of his explorations with gender and sexuality. He loved sex. He loved it when it was playful, when it was quick and dirty, when it was slow and sleepy, when it was sad and a final goodbye without words. But he’d never ‘needed’ it quite as much as he does with Ollie. He’d never felt it so deeply as he does with his boyfriend. He hurriedly pulled off his pants and briefs in one quick move happy to be finally as naked as his boyfriend. Pulling a condom and lube out of the bedside drawer he set them aside as he settled himself between Oliver’s legs. “Time to kiss the part I didn’t get to before. He ducked down until he could take his boyfriend’s cock between his lips teasing it with his tongue.

Oral sex was, and had always been, one of his favourite things. He liked to give it immensely; there was something so intimate about it that sent his mind into overdrive. Giving turned him on almost as much as receiving. He barely had time to whisper a ‘holy fuck’ before Noah was situating himself between his legs and closing his lips around his length. ‘Mmmf’ he moaned, hands now free to slide into Noah’s hair. ‘Kiss me there anytime.’ He breathed, the amusement and contentment evident in his voice. Something he found he loved about sex with Noah was more often than not there was an absence of urgency. It wasn’t that they weren’t completely eager to take their clothes off and get to it; it was more the knowledge that they could take their time, fully enjoy one another in moments like this when no-one outside the two of them existed. ‘Should be a sin for your mouth to feel as good as it does.’ He groaned, head falling back heavily against the pillow.

He loved having Oliver’s fingers in his hair. It drove him on to take more of his growing arousal in his mouth. Hearing he ways he was turning Oliver was like music to his ears… and to his dick apparently. But there was plenty of time for that. Right now he just wanted to enjoy the hard, thick cock in his mouth. He sucked and licked his way all the way down to the base swallowing around it before slowly pulling off, lathing his tongue all along the nerve bundle on the underside of the crown. “Fuck, you taste so good. Feel so good.”

He could feel his cock stiffening further between Noah’s lips. That by itself might be one of the most erotic things he’d ever experienced. He couldn’t stop his hips from twitching and rocking up in search for more. ‘Shit, Sorry.’ He apologised immediately, sitting up slightly so he could look down at him. He opened his mouth to say more but found himself focusing instead on the way his length disappeared and reappeared from the wet heat of his boyfriend’s mouth. He wanted to enjoy it for as long as possible, and his grip tightened marginally on Noah’s hair. A series of garbled moans and grunts left his lips; more than a few sounding like he was trying to say Noah’s name. Eventually he had to stop him. ‘Noah, you — fuck — if you don’t stop, I’m going to cum.’ He warned him, although he made no attempt to pull away. He couldn’t bring himself to actually move away from the pleasure he was currently floating in.

At his boyfriend’s apology Noah simply pushed himself down as far as he could clearly an invitation to take him however he wanted. He would have happily continued until Oliver came, more than keen to taste his cum on his tongue, but even more keen to keep touching him and be inside him, bodies as close as they could be as they both came. He slid off his cock, tongue following slowly after his lips as he held Oliver’s gaze. He sat up and coated his fingers in lube, quickly circling his rosebud entrance before carefully pushing inside. He took his time stretching, pushing in deep, stretching some more, and teasing the rim to prepare it for his girth. His free hand stroked Oliver’s inner thigh and hip soothingly. When he felt he’d done as much prep as either of them could stand, He rolled the condom on and lined himself up. While he pushed inside he leaned in close, lips just barely out of reach of his boyfriends. “Love you.”

There were no two ways about it; Oliver was putty in Noah’s hands and for the first time, he became aware of just how true that statement was. He’d always been vocal in bed but he didn’t think he’d been as responsive with any other lover as he was with Noah. He pushed down against his invading fingers, clenching as he continually just sought out more. His head felt hazy in the best possible way; as though the only thing in the world that mattered was Noah and their very physical connection. He wasn’t loud but he continually let Noah’s name fall from his lips in breathless moans, as his hands now took full advantage of the fact that he could touch him. ‘Please.’ That was almost a whine and he wasn’t entirely sure what he was asking for; he just needed more of Noah, he needed to feel closer. ‘I love you.’ He echoed in responses pushing his hips up. The following stretch and burn proved to be exactly the thing his body was searching for. ‘Oh fuck I love you. You have — you have no idea.’ He breathed. He spread his legs wider, lifting up his knees slightly and everything felt more intense. ‘Fuck me.’ He grunted, fingers tangling in the hair at the nape of his neck.

Noah was happy to oblige. Each breathy word drove him on, just wanting to hear more. “Fuck… oh fuck you feel so good.” He thrust in and out searching for all the angles that would make Oliver moan in that beautiful way. With Oliver’s legs spread out and up, he sank in deeper, grunting and sighing. “Yes… yes…” He began to thrust harder sucking on the jutting bone of his collarbone as he kept thrusting. The tight heat around his cock was perfect. But it wasn’t just a tight hole and natural friction. It was Oliver. Oliver’s scent filling his nose, Oliver’s voice in his ears, Oliver’s heat surrounding him, Oliver’s playful fingers in his hair. He’d never been with someone he could have sex that was a little bit rough, all kinds of playful, so damn hot, and on top of all that was an expression of their love even when it was being all of those other things. So yes, he thrust hard and deep, taking control, but following his lead at the same time, but no amount of dirty words and begging changed that they were making love. In fact maybe it made it more so. It was all the things that made their love special. He changed the angle looking to find that spot that would have Oliver seeing stars. He continued to kiss and suck everywhere he could reach. “Ollie… Ollie.. Fuck… love you so much.”

At this point, words were impossible. His entire body felt alight with an intoxicating combination of need, desire, lust and pure, irrevocable love. There was something about this version of Noah; this version that didn’t hold back from taking what he wanted, that did everything physically possible to bring him the most amount of pleasure. He fell in love with him all over again. He knew exactly what he was doing with every angle change and he moved with him, desperately trying to guide him to that spot. He squeezed his eyes shut and saw fireworks explode behind his lids when Noah slammed into his prostate. He clenched around him. ‘Ohfuckyesrightthere.’ He cried out, words running into one another amid a series of breathless moans. He started moving his hips faster, rocking up to meet every push of his boyfriend’s cock. He hooked his legs around his waist, ankles crossed at the small of his back and applied a little pressure to encourage him. ‘Don’t stop, don’t - oh - fucking stop.’ He grunted. He reached a hand between them and closed his fingers around his aching cock and started to stroke roughly in time with Noah. ‘I’m so close. Noe, please.’ His words left his lips in a whine and in that moment he was so needy, he didn’t have it in him to feel embarrassed by just how much he needed him.

Noah knew that feeling when something, punched into your prostate and your whole body burst into technicolor explosions of pleasure. He grinned even as his own breath came out in moan huffs of air, making sure to keep the angle to keep pressing and sliding against that spot. “Won’t… won’t… oh fuck yes. Right there baby. Right there. Fuck feel so good.” He loved when Oliver would wrap his legs around him holding him there as he pumped his hips faster and harder. There skin was shiny with sweat as their bodies rocked together. “I’m there Ollie.. I’m there…” He was holding off, waiting for Oliver to have his release, but he didn’t know how much longer he could keep the racing steam engine of an orgasm from overtaking him. He needed this boy, this beautiful boy so much. He let his hand drift between them and covered Ollie’s hand with his own, not taking over, but applying just a little bit more pressure, wanting to feel when he came. The rhythm was perfect. Everything was perfect.

The feeling of Noah’s hand over his proved to be exactly what he needed; the little bit of additional pressure proved to be exactly what he needed to fall over the edge completely. His whole body tensed, and he clenched around his boyfriend’s length as ropes of white decorated his chest and Noah’s torso. The other man’s name left his lips in rough cry and he rocked up into his hand as he rode out every second of the pleasure he could milk from the situation. ‘I love you, I love you, I love you.’ he babbled out, leaning up to exchange messy, open-mouthed kisses. He was completely overwhelmed in the best possible way; every nerve ending in his body felt electrified and he’d never had an orgasm like it.

As Oliver clenched around him he was flung over he edge cumming so hard he nearly passed out. He yelled out Oliver’s name hoarsely shaking and pumping into his body. His forehead pressed into Ollie’s chest. “Love… God… love you.” He felt like every inch of his skin was zinging with electricity. A bright light of pleasure flowing between them and around them. When he finally stopped shaking from the strength of his orgasm he still deep inside of his boyfriend, hand still wrapped around the other’s. His breath came in jagged gasps as he tried to speak, but giving it up and just breathed and relished just ‘being’ with Oliver.

‘So perfect.’ he whispered into the silence. The air around them felt heavy and it made him want to cling closer. He tightened his legs and groaned as he shifted, subsequently making Noah move inside him. He curled forward slightly despite the sensitivity to press kisses against sweat soaked hair. ‘You’re everything Noah.’ he murmured, his heart still pounding harder than he thought it could against his chest. He already knew he didn’t want Noah to move. He knew he would have to eventually but he wanted him to stay where he was for as long as possible. He wanted to feel him for as long as possible.

When Oliver shifted and tightened his hold on him his channel tightened around him and he couldn’t help the deep groan bubbling up from his throat. As Oliver kissed him the groan gave way to a satisfied sigh or two. “Everything,” he readily agreed. It was like the first time every time. They always ended up here, this unique moment when neither of them wanted to move. They knew they would have to, but somehow would fight to squeeze everything out of just being connected like this. He found himself rolling his hips lightly. Not necessarily trying to start things up again, just trying to make sure Ollie could feel him for as long as possible. “Love you.”

‘Holy fuck’ he keened, feeling Noah start to thrust into him slightly. ‘If you think you’re ready to go again, I’m so fucking ready,’ he teased, although he loosened his legs from around his waist. ‘That was -- I mean I don’t even have the words for how mindblowing that was. I don’t think I’ve ever whined before.’ he laughed, railing his fingertips up and down Noah’s spine. He allowed his eyes to fall closed and he just breathed in the moment. The smell of sex and Noah’s shampoo filled his nose and he relished in feeling his full weight pin him against the mattress. ‘You called me baby.’ he remarked, the pet name coming to his head. ‘I don’t think you’ve ever called me that before.’

Noah laughed. “Oh man I wish I could…” He probably could if pressed, Ollie had ways of turning him on with just the sound of his voice or the tilt of his head or any one of a million other things, but pressed wasn’t really their style. Instead when, his boyfriend loosened his legs, he rested his weight a little. He sucked in a breathe, remembering that he had in fact said that. “I…. yeah…” He raised up a little and raked his hand through Oliver’s hair. “Is it alright? I know you don’t like guys just assuming they can call you something that isn’t your name.” He’d been really careful to always respect that.

‘You mean, I don’t like anyone who doesn’t know me using a nickname or a pet name instead of my given name.’ He corrected gently. ‘I’m purposefully a little difficult with Dominants who come along and think they can call me sweetheart or darling.’ He shrugged. ‘I’m neither of those things to them; and they can call me by my name until I decide otherwise. You however, my love, you can pretty much call me whatever you want and assume it doesn’t bother me unless I tell you.’ He grinned, resting his hand against Noah’s cheek. ‘Baby is different but it doesn’t bother me. Not when it’s you.’ He clarified.

He thinks he probably knew that. He knows that sometimes he overthinks things. It was kind of a Duval thing. His cheeks turned pink, probably feeling hot in Oliver’s hand. My love. Ollie called him that a lot. He couldn’t think of a better pet name. “Yours.” That was what he was. He was Ollie’s love fully and completely forever. He smiled and turned his head so that he could kiss his palm. Slowly he pulled his now soft cock from Oliver’s body instantly missing the warmth and contact.

Hearing that sparks some sort of possessiveness he’s never felt about anyone before. It’s an unusual feeling and he doesn’t quite know how to process it. All he wants to do is reiterate that yes, Noah is his as much as he is wants to be his in return. That comes with a feeling of safety, happiness; he’s never felt as happy as he has since he started dating Noah. He winces as Noah pulls out, left with an overwhelmingly empty feeling; another new notion for him to deal with. ‘I’ve never felt like this about anyone before. This — I don’t know what it is. I just never want to be finished with you. I always want to keep going. I always want to fucking touch you. Sex is just more of that.’ He runs his fingers through his own hair, tugging lightly on the ends as his face heats up. ‘I think about it at the most inappropriate times. I’m such a fucking pervert and it’s all your fault.’ He informs him.

After a few soothing kisses, and disposing of the condom in the trash by the bed as covertly as he could, Noah turned Oliver to his side so that he could spoon up behind him. He was a ridiculous post-coitus clingy octopus. His smile turned playful at Oliver’s words. “Turning you into a sex fiend hmm?” He takes his boyfriend’s hand in his own away from his hair. “You’re not a pervert. We just turn each other on….” He laughed. “A lot. Nothing wrong with that right?” He let go of his hand so that he could stroke a fingertip down his cheek. “The skin felt warm to the touch. “I love you so much. I think about you all the time and yeah… sometimes that means thinking about your body and how it feels under my fingers. That has led to some things coming… umm… up at inappropriate times.” He laughed even as he was kissing the spot behind Ollie’s ear.

‘Things coming up huh?’ He chuckled, resisting the urge to shake his head as that might interfere with the way Noah was kissing him. He still felt like a pervert but the way his boyfriend spoke about feeling elements of the same feelings, made him feel significantly less bad about the whole thing. He pushed back slightly so he could slit himself as close to Noah as possible and closed his eyes in utter blissed out contentment as Noah’s lips moved against his skin. ‘I used to dream about this all the time. Being with someone who made me as happy as you do. I thought I had it before but honestly, you have no idea how far out of the water you blow everyone else.’ He confessed. ‘Mmm that feels really good.’ He couldn’t ignore the kissing any longer; that was a particularly sensitive spot and Noah was applying all the right sensations. ‘What about you?’ He asked. ‘Any dreams or fantasies I should know about?’

Noah hummed and wrapped his arms around Oliver to hold him tight to himself. “Worries me though, you know? Worried about when you figure out I’m not that great. When you see all my flaws. Worried you’ll get scared away.” He didn’t know if he’d survive that. When he’d let Ryan go, it had hurt like hell, but it had also felt right. He knew she wasn’t meant for him. But Oliver… Oliver is meant for him and he is meant for Oliver. He’s sure of it. Pushing those thoughts away he concentrated on kissing that spot, letting his tongue peak out just a bit to play. “Hmm… making love to you on a beach pings something in my brain, but maybe all that sand is a bad idea in reality. Maybe in the water?” He chuckled and kissed some more before a serious thought occurred to him. “Umm… this is probably… well weird or something, but I’ve been thinking about what if we got tested again and maybe ditched the condoms?” Getting rid of that last barrier between them, wanted to feel when Oliver came inside of him.

‘I’m not scared of the flaws you think I’m going to find.’ He wriggled in his hold slightly so he could turn to face him but immediately pressed himself in as close as was reasonable. ‘I don’t for one second think you’re a perfect human Noah, and I sure as shit hope you don’t think that about me. I know you have flaws. You’re really fucking messy for one, and I swear more than any person should. But your flaws are part of you; and I am hopelessly in love with you. He continued with a smile. ‘But all your flaws, your quirks; those are the things that make you the person I want to be with. I’m with you because I want to be with you. It’s not easy; we’re both flawed human beings in a fucked up world. It’s going to be hard and we’re going to fight but I am making a conscious choice every day to be with you because you make me happy. You make me a better person. You’re allowed to worry; I can’t disregard how you feel. All I can try to do is spend every day showing you that I love you, that I choose to be with you regardless of your faults.’ He hadn’t planned on being quite so wordy; he’d repeated himself on more than one occasion and he wasn’t sure how much sense he made but it was something he needed to put out there. ‘Sea sex?’ he mused, images immediately coming to his mind. ‘That would be a first.’ he winked. ‘I want to fill all your fantasies though; and if you want beach sex, I could put up with some sand.’ When Noah’s tone became a little more serious, he listened with interest and as he spoke, a smile formed on his lips. ‘It’s not weird Noah. I’ve never actually --’ He stops himself short because he has done that once. With Q. That was also the last time he’d been tested and Noah had been the only person he’d been with. ‘I think we should get tested and yeah, I think losing the condoms could be really great.’

Noah laughed. “You really do swear a lot. Gonna have to warn my mom before you meet her.” He ran his hand up and down Oliver’s back occasionally tracing lazy circles. “I guess it’s our flaws that really make us… us. Some part of me is scared about those fights but the bigger part knows we’ll come out of them stronger. I’m just kind of a confrontation wimp….” He chuckled. “Guess you know this already.” The idea of beach sex was getting more and more appealing, but that could be because the idea of having sex with Oliver was literally always appealing. “Maybe a blanket is in order though. There are for sure places I do not want to get sand.” He held still for a moment. “Okay so that’s not weird, but is it maybe weird if I excitedly suggest we get tested before we go on the trip?”

‘No, I can totally turn it off for your Mom. I will be polite and courteous and will refrain from a single cuss word.’ He realised what he’d just said and his eyes widened. ‘Wait, you want me to meet your Mom?’ It was a silly thing to be shocked by. They had quite openly talked about the fact they wanted to be together for the long-term but somehow Noah wanting to bring him home to his parents thrilled him anew. ‘You’re not a wimp. I have all those fears too. I think it’s pretty normal to have some sort of fear. But if you ever do feel afraid about us, or worried, just talk to me. That’s the most important thing right?’ He reiterated before leaning in to kiss him longingly and slowly. ‘Let’s get tested, and assuming our results come back before we go away, the first time we forgo the condoms can be when we have sex on the beach.’ He decided with a playful laugh.

“Sounds like a plan. Then you can go hang out with dad and swear up a storm.” He laughed picturing already how much his parents were going to love Ollie. He smiled at the wide-eyed look his boyfriend gave him. “Yeah. I mean I know we’re giving this claiming thing ago, hopefully playing the system before it can play us, but for me what we’re building that’s just for us is family. You know? Our family. They’re gonna love you.” He didn’t know if Oliver knew how rare and beautiful his words and the deep truth behind them were. To know that he could come to his boyfriend with any worry or fear he had knowing he’d be heard and understood was powerful. “Yeah, it is. And the same goes for you.” The kiss was slow and stirred something in his gut. Part arousal, part passion, part puppy love, and part a feeling of being home. He loved when Ollie turned all playful… okay, who was he kidding he loved all of Oliver’s facets, but playful was good. “It’s a deal.” He returned his lips to Oliver’s parting his own to just lick a little. “Mmmm, how do you taste so good?”

‘I can’t wait to meet your family.’ He thought then, and it was a weird thought to think naked in bed with his boyfriend, about his brothers. Caleb and Nick both seemed like good guys, and they were obviously important to Noah. He mentally made a note to reach out to them, to spend more time getting to know them. He thought about bringing up his own but honestly found he didn’t want Noah to meet his parents. Not because he wasn’t important but because they weren’t. ‘I know. You are — the only person in the world I can come to with anything. And I’m lucky because not everyone gets one person.’ He acknowledged. ‘It’s probably the unhealthy amount of sugar I eat.’ He answered in jest, easily opening himself up to whatever Noah wanted. He kissed him again more insistently, tangling his legs up with Noah’s as he inched ever closer. He trailed his lips to his neck where he licked, and nipped; content to just lazily explore and be present in the moment. Their conversations were serious but he never felt burdened by what they talked about. He never felt frightened to disagree. Arguably for the first time, he felt completely at peace with himself.

“I can’t wait either.” He figured it was probably a good time to switch topics since it was a little strange to talk about family while they were naked after sex. Also there was the tangled up issues with Oliver’s family, notably his father. When and if his boyfriend wanted to talk about that he would. He’d back him either way. Truer words were never spoken. Too many people in this world had no one they could talk to honestly. He used his hands at the small of Ollie’s back to pull him close as the kiss deepened, legs tangling, hearts beating in time. He had no idea if he deserved this happiness, but the truth was that wasn’t what it was about. That was the system trying to push its way in. All that mattered was that they were there for each other.

Thoughts on Ao no Flag v1

Since I just imported this, and the next chapter should be translated in a day or two, I figured I may as well write up my thoughts on the first volume. I was gonna reread it to refresh my memory, but I didn’t get around to it, so I might be forgetting some things.

This isn’t really, like, a professional review, or anything, just my ramble-y thoughts.

TL;DR: This is both adorable and kinda heart-breaking and I love it. This hits basically all the right notes for me. It’s also a shounen rom-com/drama that has actual major LGBT characters so that’s pretty great! Seriously you guys read this manga. It’s already really great.

More under the cut.

Before I say anything else, let me just say that Taichi, Kuze, and Touma are my new fictional children and I adore them with all my heart. I’m basically a complete sucker for main character trios like this. Which is part of why I also enjoy stuff like Pandora Hearts and The Promised Neverland so much. We haven’t seen a lot of Masumi yet but once we do, I’ll probably love her too.

Also for the record I call her Masumi because ‘Itachi’ is way too confusing in a manga that has a protagonist called Taichi, lol.

Anyway, this manga is just great. I have a huge soft spot for this genre as a whole, but even then this one just speaks to me deeply. I haven’t even read anything else by this guy but I already like his style. This hits a really nice balance between drama and comedy and romance that not a lot of things hit.

Normally I tend to not care for the main m/f ships in these sorts of manga, but oh man I already love Taichi and Kuze’s entire dynamic. They’re such sweet, pure children and I just want them to be happy. They both feel like, well, actual teenagers who are still trying to figure out how feelings and relationships work. It’s really endearing. I especially love how determined and earnest Kuze is about her crush on Touma. But I also love how Taichi is just a bit of a mess who doesn’t really know how to reach out to people properly. They’re great. Also, I love the fact that they’re both super short. I was not at all prepared for the part where Taichi sees her from afar and is like ‘wow she’s really tiny’ and then he walks up to her and he’s like ‘jesus christ we’re basically the same height’. That was hilarious.

But of course, I can’t help but feel weirdly guilty about liking them together because that just gets us into the whole Touma thing. Oh boy. Touma, my sweet wonderful gay child, I feel so bad for you and all the drama I see in your future. I’m basically bracing myself right from the start for him to go through all sorts of angst in the future. It’s gonna be rough. Obviously I also ship him and Taichi together, but that’s probably not gonna work out, which kinda breaks my heart a bit.

Seriously though I just love Touma so much, he’s amazing. And I can’t stress enough how meaningful it is to have a major character like him in this sort of manga. It’s not like it’s never happened before [I think Love and Lies has a similar set-up??? Not sure. And then there’s other cases like Makoto from Fuuka and whatnot]. But it’s still important! It always warms my heart to see stuff like this happening more and more. I especially appreciate how Touma as a character, and his crush on Taichi, is already being set up as a surprising pivotal part of the whole story. It’s at least this major time-bomb being set up that’s gonna affect so many things. But I mean, it plays a huge part in his entire dynamic with Taichi, and I can only imagine how it’ll shake that up once Taichi finds out. It’s already setting up a whole lot of dramatic irony with how Taichi’s hung up on how Touma comes across as being ‘perfect’ and completely disconnected from him as a person, which is obviously not quite the case. There’s also a whole lot of dramatic irony going on as well with the fact that Kuze’s whole ‘I have a chance with Touma so I’m gonna pursue him’ attitude is just set up to fail now. And her whole plan to date him is already a pretty big part of the story, so once the other shoe drops then things are gonna change up massively. Especially since Taichi at this point is mostly bonding with her in terms of basically being her wingman. And, of course, it looks like Masumi knows about Touma being gay [and vice versa, I suppose], so if they’re gonna start their own little friendship then that’ll be a part of it.

I dunno how to put it, it’s just interesting to me that Touma’s sexuality isn’t just a joke, or a really minor thing off to the side, but a genuinely important part of the story that’s gonna shake things up massively once the other shoe drops. I like it.

I also appreciate that he’s designed as being conventionally masculine, and in a way that’s not done in a joke-y, exaggerated way for comedy. I feel like a lot of characters like Touma in shonen manga get depicted as one extreme or another, so it’s really cool to see how “normal” [for lack of a better word, I guess] he’s portrayed thus far. It’s just nice to see a gay teenage boy being written as an actual human being and not a stereotype. Obviously there’s a bit of contrast going on with how his outer persona doesn’t really match what he’s going through internally, but it’s more of a dramatic thing than a comedic thing, if that makes sense. In general the aspect of him being seemingly perfect and super popular and put-together but secretly having his own insecurities and struggles is really compelling.

Which is why I really liked that one scene with the tomato plant, which was also probably the scene that convinced me that he was indeed gay, and that the author was going to handle it well. I just love the delicacy of the writing in that scene, especially in hindsight. It’s a wonderful depiction of the kind of moment where you see someone’s mask drop a little and you get a glimpse at who they are inside, but you don’t know enough about them to know what’s going on. It was also a nice scene to help establish why Kuze’s so into him.

I’m also excited to see more of his brother and his brother’s wife [though I guess we technically haven’t seen his brother in person yet at all, I think]. They seem cool. There’s not much to say about them yet, but I do find it a bit amusing how it kinda feels like his brother’s wife was designed to fit Touma’s made-up ‘type’. It makes her feel like a bit of a red herring to make people think he was telling the truth, even though that got almost immediately shot down. But at the same time I don’t remember the story ever, like, going out of it’s way to be all wink wink nudge nudge about it, which I appreciate. It really works as a twist on the reader’s assumptions. I saw a fair few people elsewhere assume that Touma had a crush on her, so I have a feeling that was the author’s intention.

Basically Touma is just my child and I want to hold and protect him. I hope he gets his own happy ending by the time this wraps up, one way or another. He deserves it. I could live with him just being happily single by the end, even if that’d obviously be the depressing option. Even if it’d be bittersweet in it’s own way, it’d be nice to hypothetically see him decide to move on, and end up with an entirely different guy. I feel like manga aimed at teenagers in general tend to act like your first crush is, like, the only person you’re ever gonna have feelings for in your entire life and if it doesn’t work out then WELP SUCKS TO BE YOU, so it’d be neat to see this sorta manga make it clear that even if you have unrequited feelings for someone it’s not the end of the world, and you can move on and find someone else to love in the future. We’ll see.

Mostly I just really hope that this doesn’t end with Touma and Masumi hooking up as some sorta weird consolation prize. In general it’d feel too neat and easy if the main four can get paired up into convenient pairs like that, and I feel like Touma’s whole deal would just be more . . . compelling, I suppose, if he’s exclusively gay, and not bi. I mean, him being exclusively gay would also really drive a wedge in Kuze’s whole plan of action, like I said above, and that definitely seems like what’s being set up. So yeah.

I don’t really have a whole lot to say about Masumi since she hasn’t had a lot of screen-time, but we’ll obviously see more of her now so that’s nice. Obviously I also really appreciate the fact that she seems to be a lesbian, even if her feelings also probably won’t work out in the end. It kinda surprised me how, uh, vicious she got with Taichi, but I like that she apologized afterward in her own awkward way. That’s nice. I hope she gets to become part of the main gang.

I really REALLY love the entire scene between them on the roof-top at the end of the volume. That was great. I actually got vaguely spoiled about it in advance but I didn’t know the full context of it so the scene still surprised me when I read it. I wasn’t expecting them but to all but spell out that both of them are gay by the end of the first volume. They even had to do the dramatic ‘scene goes silent right when important thing is said’ trope right when Masumi probably literally spelled out that Touma’s gay. I really wasn’t expecting how goddamn dramatic it was. Like wow. You could basically feel the tension going on between them. I wasn’t expecting to see Touma be absolutely terrified by the idea that Masumi might have outed him without his consent. That kinda tore at my heart. I feel you so much, Touma, I really do. Thankfully she didn’t, so that’s nice. I’m glad she’s agreeing to keep it a secret for him.

I also love and adore how she pretty much laid out exactly what I’d been thinking, and immediately spelled out the fact that he was lying about his ‘type’, and that the only truthful part was the black hair bit. I’m so glad that got called out by the end of this volume instead of being dragged out unnecessarily. It was pretty dang obvious, at least. Although it does make me wonder exactly how Masumi ‘figured it out’. She doesn’t seem to be close to him as a person, and his crush is mostly obvious to us as the reader. So I wonder if maybe she’s been observing him for a while, and has been piecing it together.

It’s pretty interesting to look back over the entire volume now that it’s over. I mean, it was fairly obvious from early on that Touma is gay, but still, it’s REALLY obvious now. There’s a lot of parts that pretty overtly lay it out. The part in chapter four, I think, where we get the flashback to him and Taichi as kids, and we see the actual moment where Touma lied about his type, it’s SUPER obvious what’s going on. What with him basing his preferred type directly off of Taichi’s height [with an extra amount added], the dramatic close-up of him staring at Taichi when he talks about liking black hair, him immediately turning away afterward and rattling off some other traits to throw him off the trail, etc etc. And other than that you have stuff like the tomato plant scene and so on. There’s also the fact that the cover of volume one is of the main trio standing in a triangle with Kuze looking at Touma, and Touma looking at Taichi, and the insert page thing at the start of the volume is of them making a triangle with their fingers. It’s not exactly subtle, lol.

Anyway, I guess I should talk about predictions and stuff for what’ll happen next, now that we’re right about to get into v2. I guess I don’t have a lot to say other than what I said about how once Taichi and Kuze figure out what’s going on, it’s gonna REALLY shake up their relationship with Touma. Which will be interesting to see. But I feel like it’ll take a while to happen. Other than that . . . well, obviously I want to see more of Masumi, and I hope that Touma’s brother and his brother’s wife end up being recurring side characters. That’d be neat. I’m also wondering if the baseball element might get more important later. It looks like the author’s mostly done sports manga in the past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes more of a big thing to the story.

Oh yeah, and everyone should read the bonus pages that recently got translated, that came with the first volume. They contain a really short preview for v2, which is already hinting at a whole lot of angst and drama. There’s not really a lot to it as a preview, but one kinda surprising thing about it is that it looks like Taichi is notably taller. Like, a few inches taller. I kinda wasn’t expecting that, but I guess it makes sense. You can also kinda see it on v2′s cover, a bit. We also got a glimpse at what seems to be a new character in the last panel of it. Not sure what her deal is but she looks upset about . . . something, lol.

Also the bonus pages contain a short bonus chapter about how Taichi and Touma first met and I swear to god it’s the cutest thing in the world. I probably should have expected that they first met and bonded over their battle pencils. But seriously, holy shit, little schoolboy Touma blushing and talking excitedly about how Taichi is the coolest person he’s ever met is just! so! ADORABLE! AAAH! I wonder what bonus things the other volumes will contain.

I’m glad that the scanlators have access to the digital raws for the rest of the series now, so we don’t have to wait until each volume comes out for them to translate it. I’m really excited to see chapter six come out in a day or two. It’ll suck when we catch up and have to deal with the two-week release schedule this has in Japan. Oh well.

[I dunno where to fit this, but as a side note, I LOVE how the volume covers for this series look, thus far. Now that we’ve seen the first two. They’re all so beautiful and delicate and sorta watercolour-y. It’s not a style you see often in manga volume covers. But I love it. Honestly like 10% of my reason for importing this series is because I love how the volumes look. I’m kinda superficial like that, lol. The aesthetic this series has in general is really nice]

And yeah as I said at the start of this, I just ordered the first volume of this today from CDJapan. I made a post a while ago about how I was going to import every volume of this if it followed through with the LGBT representation, so I’m sticking to my word on that. This is gonna be the first Japanese volume of manga I’ll own, so that’ll be neat! I’m not really interested in importing a lot of stuff in general, so for the most part I’m sticking to importing different types of manga with good LGBT rep in them, since I’m passionate about this sorta thing. I just want to financially support these types of manga in whatever way I can. Which is also why I’ve started importing Shimanami Tasogare, which is basically one of the best LGBT manga out there. Also manga is just way easier and cheaper to buy/import than something like, say, anime. Sure I’d love to import the Japanese blu-rays of Yuri on Ice but holy shit I do not have the money for that. Even getting the English release of that is gonna be tight. But yeah it really doesn’t cost me a lot to import manga like this so I figured I may as well. It’s gonna take ages for it to get here, but that’s fine.

#murasaki reblogs #ao no flag #this got super long and it's mostly me talking about how much I love Touma #but I love everyone in this manga #I would have talked about some other stuff as well but this is long enough as it is #I definitely love basically every part of this manga just to be clear

The fix was quicker than I expected! Dad’s bringing it (the computer) home today :D

someone needs to photoshop smiling cherubs and flowers around them

OH whoops, sorry about the misunderstanding ^^;; Idk what I even want to happen to the Touken baby, I just don’t want it to die in the womb.

Uta/Touka child might also be pretty attractive, now that I think about it ;)

(Uta/Rize or Uta/Itori child would look even better though)

I was in a nice, fluffy mood when I wrote that. Unfortunately, as I’m going to get my computer back and will be able to start working on the Heathers AU again tonight, this will probably be the last you’ll see of Cinnamon Roll Evans for a while :)

YES I read the new Kuro chapter! Honestly I disliked the 2CT for various reasons but now that it’s actually become canon I think I feel a little better about it (also, is it just me or does ‘real’ Ciel look a bit different from 'our’ Ciel on the last page? His face looks too…perfect, if that makes sense). I’m excited to see what this means for Lizzy’s relationship with both Ciels and Undertaker’s connection to the Phantomhives!

Oh, actually I agree with you there? What I meant by 'op’ is more of a really strong character, not an overpowered one ^^;; sorry, I’ll try to explain myself better:

Super strong characters like Levi, Mikasa, the Titan Trio, Kaneki, Eto, Arima, Sebastian…they are all technically 'op’ (especially Sebastian, dude has literally no weaknesses so far). However, they work because they also have traits that interest us beyond just their strength. Kaneki is a lonely child, a selfish person with a fear of being left behind, drifting and unable to find a reason to live. Levi is an orphan who was raised by a serial killer- he clawed his way up to where he is now. Annie is a sixteen-year-old trained into a killing machine from childhood, she went through life believing that the only person she could trust was her father, and she was desperate to return to him.

(It’s also difficult because everyone seems to have a different definition of 'op’; I personally just use it to jokingly refer to powerful characters or when I talk about strong characters whose power levels are inconsistent with canon to the point where it gets ridiculous (example: we know titan shifters take some time to heal, so if a titan shifter came along who could be behaded then have their head instantly stick back onto their neck like some sort of AoT version of Noro, I’d consider them OP).)

I guess what I was trying to say was that it’s fine to have strong characters, just make sure that they have an actual personality (readers need a reason to care about the characters, after all!) and that their powers make sense? ^^;;

(Also, I think I might have sounded a bit passive-aggressive or rude during this convo about op characters, I'm really sorry if I did OTL I didn’t mean to, but when I reread my comments I realized they could come off that way)

I agree with you about the AoT OCs though. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of good ones…actually, most OCs I see for popular fandoms aren’t very interesting. Other than the powers or character designs the thing that bothers me is the lack of proper personality (why do so many people think 'happy’ is a personality trait???).

And definitely agree 100% on the angsty backstory. Like, that’s just overkill. There’s a difference between tragedy and being edgy. (It also sort of depends on how good the writer is at conveying emotion and handling the angst, but for the most part stuff like that is

That’s a great way to do things! :D I’m really, really disorganized when it comes to making characters…usually a concept pops into my head and I run with it, adding in details along the way. Tatsuo was created when I wanted to make a male TG OC and suddenly this image of a smug-looking guy with a long black ponytail popped into my head, Naomi started from the idea of making a character with the themes of 'self-discovery’ 'identity’ and 'lies’ woven into their arc. Louisa was literally born from an outfit- I randomly thought of an outfit that looked really pretty and traditionally feminine, yet was actually very practical when you looked closer. Then I tried to imagine what kind of person would wear these clothes and that was Louisa…

idk, I’m bad at explaining stuff haha

(also: Tatsuo was also inspired by various vampire characters I saw in anime/manga, books and TV shows. He’d be so offended if he knew LOL in fact, he just might serve me for dinner at the restaurant or something ;-;)

TYSM! I’m really glad you’ve liked all three of my OCs so far, thank you for listening to me ramble about my babies (actually only Naomi is my baby, Tatsuo and I disowned each other and Louisa moved out) <33333

As for Lou, I’ll send you some more info about her after I develop her a bit more if you like? :) For now, a few random things:

-rarely shows emotions like anger or sorrow

-not because she’s bottling them up, but because she’s learned how to handle them in a healthy way

-always smells like mint for some reason

-maybe because she’s addicted to mint tea

-her bodyguard suspects she doesn’t drink water at all and lives on the stuff

-she also likes strong flavors

-has the kind of bright, pretty smile that makes you want to trust her

-so you do

-and you (probably) get killed

-had a girlfriend named Iris once, a nice, sensible girl who managed to keep her from getting too buried in her work and various plans for her family and took care of her in ways that her bodyguard couldn’t (AKA somehow got her to realize that mint tea does not equal a proper meal)

-unfortunately Iris did not know that Lou can be a bit terrible

-she walked in on Lou casually wiping the blood off of her knife with the dead body of a certain businessman on the floor in front of her

-“Oh, Iris. What are you doing here, darling? I thought I asked the servants to keep you upstairs, my private meetings can be a bit messy… Iris? Love, are you quite alright? You look a little pale…”

-Well, that was the end of that relationship

XD the titan designs are one of the best things about AoT, in my opinion. You could make a gallery out of all the pictures of them that that have appeared in the anime and the manga so far lol

Oh, really? Hope you enjoy/ed the list then :D was it ok??? (Part 2 was intended to smash feels)

Sweet! That wasn’t so long ^^

I know you meant Voldy and Draco by the flower statement but...

I’m this close to finding a physical copy of the manga and throwing it in the fire while yelling ‘Lighten the fuck up’.

Gimme the Uta/Itori love child now, pretty please. Damn, that would be one attractive baby.

And now I fear for my life. Great. Well, more for my hear than for my life, but whatever.

Well, I never really had a formed opinion on the 2CT theory, but I did read a few things about it. I didn’t expect it to be true, though. Welp, now we can assume it is true, and I am SHOOK Here’s an accurate description of me during the chapter.

I think that might be since he’s a tiny bit more similar to Vincent, while Our Ciel is more similar to Rachel. I mean, we know that there are physical differences between the two (if we assume that Real Ciel is the one who was previously Lizzy’s fiancé), because Real Ciel is taller than Our Ciel.

Yep, I definitely can’t wait to see where it’ll go from now. I remember seeing a post that said ‘This is the biggest shock to the fandom since we found out Undertaker was fuckable’

Also: Our!Ciel: three years ago I lost my dear twin brother to some cultists and a demon. Real!Ciel: Quit telling everyone I'm dead! Our!Ciel: Sometimes I can still hear his voice...

Oh, I see! I always think of OP as OverPowered, that’s why I got a bit defensive ^^;;;;;

Well, like you said, everyone has their own definition of OP. Sometimes, I’ll even think of OCs who have trait that’s already specific to another character as OP, like Titan-Shifter OCs, or OCs with a plot basically the same to a canon character (not OP but very irritating) And don’t get me started on Demon-Contracted OCs in the Kuro fandom. Those make me want to defenestrate myself.

Yup, I have no problems with strong characters as long as they’re not ridiculously strong and aren’t there purely because of that power, but they also have personality.

Don’t worry, I reread my original statement about OP characters and was like ‘man this sounds so bitchy and high and might hnnnngh’ but couldn’t find a way to rephrase it properly ^^;; So, no worries, I know how you feel ^^

Well, for some reason, it seems that the people who make believable OCs are either lazy or scared to post theirs. Or they simply don’t care. The ones with Mary Sues like to holler at people with ‘LOOK AT MY BAE CHARACTER AREN’T THEY PERFECT???’

There’s this blog I follow (it’s gone inactive, unfortunately) that takes Mary Sues and breaks them down (well, the correct term would be make fun of, but they do offer some advice on how to improve them), and you wouldn’t believe the shit I found there. Here’s the link if you want.

For some reason, people seem to think that the edgier the backstory, the ‘more original’ the character, which (of course) isn’t true, because that means everyone will have a super tragic backstory that no longer makes sense. Another thing I’ve noticed is that they sometimes avoid some pretty important details like ‘Character was born into a healthy, happy family. One thing led to another and the family was killed, while character was molested (a very common backstory theme) and taken in by a cult’ and I’m like ???

My character usually start out like this: *luna is watching a show* OK BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS A CHARACTER WHO-

And so a new character is born.

But your ways of starting a character are also quite interesting ^^ Especially by looking at an outfit! I ALWAYS WANNA LISTEN TO YOU RAMBLE ABOUT CHARACTERS!

Titans make me laugh, honestly. Like, these are supposed to be the main bad creatures? Steampunk zombies (kabaneri) look scarier than that.

It was the hulk smash of feels :-))))
