When your husband is horny, it's quite obvious to anyone who's around him. Which is why you try not to do anything that will turn him on while you are in the presence of others, but this is Satoru Gojo who thinks even the most mundane tasks you do are sexy.

That is how you ended up in this predicament; Satoru's eyes are hooded with lust and he's squeezing your thigh under the table with no shame at all. His gaze is burning a hole into the side of your face, too. While you try to pretend you don't notice him, he makes it almost impossible to do so.

The two of you are sitting close to the end of the table at a dinner party for your work because you had been promoted and your favorite co-worker who's like a sister to you insisted on throwing a party. The position you now maintain is not one which is easy to get; hard work and effort went into getting this new position.

"You might wanna do something about your man... he's giving the 'sex eyes' look.." Your co-worker, who happens to be sitting right next to you and can see Satoru gripping your thigh, says with a little smirk.

"I think it's the dress... he just bought it for me last week and it's doing things to him." Your co-worker giggles and returns to her previous conversation with some of the other people you're close to at work.

When you glance over at your husband, he quickly looks down and back up at you in an attempt to signal you toward something. Your eyes trail to his indication and you notice that he is painfully hard in his slacks.

"Satoru... are you serious?" Dread is hot in your stomach because you know when he's like this he tends to do risky things to gain relief.

"I can't help it when you look so good in that dress, baby. I shoulda got one in before we left the house... need you so bad." He whispers hotly into your ear.

Who are you to deny him when he needs you this bad?

You sigh heavily before whispering back to him, "Go to the bathroom I'll meet you there in ten minutes."

Without hesitation he bursts up from the table and excuses himself to the bathroom. Your co-worker gives you a look, she knows exactly where this is going. All you can do is shrug and grant her a small cheeky smile.

♡ 𝐒. 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐎

Suguru acts upon his need for you. He won't hide it because he's not ashamed of wanting his wife, sexually. You won't notice it at first because he starts out innocently enough with little caresses, but, oh, do you notice when he starts to grope your ass or kiss your sensitive spots.

"Come sit on my lap, Doll." He pats his thigh, waiting for you to do as he says. Like now, he usually doesn't ask for these things, he just tells you to do them because he knows you will.

"I don't think so mister. I just put the girls to sleep." You know where this is going. Whenever Suguru wants you to "sit on his lap" it usually ends up with you bouncing on his dick.

"They won't know if you keep your voice down." He tries to reason which ultimately fails, because who is he to talk?

"Me keep my voice down? Says the one who's always moaning in my ear and praising me. 'Yeah baby you're doing so good' or 'Shittttttt gonna make me cum''." You mock in a deeper octave, as to replicate his voice.

When he doesn't respond you assume he's given up. You do want to have sex with him, but now is not the time. Maybe if he came over there and helped you fold up these clothes you'd be done faster. The girls are asleep and you've got too much to do right now to even think about sex.

Suguru is able to catch you off guard this way though. He knows when you get in your head about things. So, he takes the opportunity to scoop you up into his arms and carry you all the way to the bedroom. When your back hits the soft mattress you know what's in store.

"Suguru what are you-" He cuts you off with a kiss. One that's agonizingly slow and leaves you wanting more. He starts to get touchy too, groping your curves which makes you squirm in excitement... just a little, though.

When he's sure he's got you turned on... he stops. Yes, you read correctly, he completely stops and starts to walk out of the bedroom.

"Hey! Where are you going?" He's got you right where he wants you: sexually frustrated.

"Back to the living room, since I guess you aren't really in the mood. Such a pity."

"Suguru Geto." Usually when you call out his full name he'll stop, maybe even stiffen up a little if it's really serious.

"Can't hear you!!" He sing-songs, hands deep in his pockets.

"You are literally so annoying!!!" A groan of frustration leaves your lips while his curl up into a smirk.

"Shhhh, you'll wake the girls up." You're in disbelief as you watch him walk out of the room. Don't worry though, he'll be back in a little while to get his pretty wife off.

Kento is a picture perfect husband in your opinion. Whenever he wants you and he knows it'll interfere with what you're doing, he'll take care of it himself so you don't have to go out of your way for him.

But oh, is it hard at times like this. He was extremely exhausted from his work load today and he thought you'd be working the night shift. So imagine his delight when he's met with you dancing to some sensual song with reckless abandon.

You're back his turned to him so he gets a beautiful view of your ass in the shorts that are way too short for you to wear out in public. Your husband usually has so much self control but even he can't resist the way you swing your hips to the lyrics. He sets his keys on the hook and starts removing his blazer and tie.

Kento is amused you haven't noticed his arrival but to be fair the music is up so loud he wouldn't be surprised if the neighbors a couple miles down could hear it.

Now that he's removed his jacket and tie he's a man on a mission. He knows he's bound to startle you when he places his hands on your hips but knowing how cheeky you are, you'll play into it.

You're so beautiful that you make him forget how to act. Before you'd first started dating him, he was set on pleasing you with his tongue. It got so bad to the point where he had a wet dream and ended up confessing to you. It lights a fire within your stomach, the way he goes feral for you.

Without much thought he plants his greedy hands onto your waist. He startles you slightly, causing you to yelp and jolt in place.

"Ken, baby, you scared me!" The only response you receive is a small hum. One that gives away his intentions.

Just as he predicted you start to tease him by grinding onto him. In order to keep him from acting stupid he bites his lip and tightens his grip on your waist.

"Someone's feeling needy, huh?" The answer to that question is pretty obvious yet you ask anyway.

"Don't do this sweetheart. You know how this ends." His voice is strained. Your poor husband is trying to keep the blood from rushing right to his dick.

"Maybe you should show me, Ken?" Your voice feigns innocence and you turn your head around to bat your lashes at him.

That was probably the last coherent sentence you had spoken for the night.

Poor baby doesn't know what to do when he wants you. He feels like he's a bother to you when he wants to fuck. Even though you've told him time and time again you like having sex with him, because he's your boyfriend.

As of now you're away on business and Choso couldn't help calling you because he misses you. He'd watched several of the video clips you had sent him to get him through the week. He knows you'll be back tomorrow but he needs you.

You're so pretty that you make him feel things he hasn't felt probably... at all. Being half curse and all you were a lot of his firsts. The first and last person to make his heart beat irregularly.

After three rings you pick up the phone, Choso bites his lip so he doesn't throw everything at you all at once. "Hey Cho, sorry it took me so long to pick up. My phone was buried under a whole bunch of crap."

"It's okay." He replies softly. You wait a few seconds, giving him time to tell you why he called. When all you hear is silence from his side you push a little in order to get him talking, "Soooo what did you call me for?"

"I miss you..." He pauses, "I was watching those videos you sent but it wasn't enough. It's up again." He responds shyly.

You waste no time making a face time call to him. Which takes him by surprise, but he answers it regardless.

As he slides to accept the face time he's met with your pretty smirking face.

"Do you want me to help you get off?" Choso has never been able to understand your boldness towards sex.

"Um.. if it's not conflicting with your schedule or anything then-"

"Choso, Honey, I always make time for you." His cheeks flush a bright red at your forward statement. In response he nods.

"Are you hard right now? Let me see, baby." Choso's glad he can count on you.

𝐓. 𝐅𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐎

He's quite bold when he wants you. He does not care who's around or who's looking. This man knows how to clear a room with his sexual tension.

Megumi has been a victim one too many times to Toji brooding over his want for you. He'll walk into the room to show you the latest achievement he's made on his nintendo game, only to see his dad sitting on the couch, man spreading while watching you wipe down the table in the dining room.

At this point the boy knows the signs and is able to leave the house before Toji makes a move on you.

Right now though, you're watching your two cousins while your uncle and aunt are out of town. (Much to Toji's dismay) The kids are too young to even realize that they're cock blocking him and as of now he's starting to get irritated.

As you're cooking up lunch for the two kids, Toji joins you in the kitchen. He wastes no time grabbing you by the waist and pulling you into him.

"Toji, stop! The kids." You hiss.

"Fuck those kids. I want you. Now." Without much effort he lifts you over his shoulder and walks toward the bedroom. You look towards the kitchen at the abandoned sandwiches. In order to reach the bedroom you have to pass the living room and your little cousins see you over Toji's shoulder.

"EW LOOK!!! His hand is on her butt!!!!" The older one says in shock, the younger one finds the word 'butt' funny and starts to giggle.

Embarrassment courses through your veins, "Toji Fushiguro. They're leaving tomorrow, you can wait!!"

He completely ignores you, "Hey you two. My son, Megumi will be here in a few minutes. he's gonna take you guys to go get ice cream. Might wanna get your shoes on."

Toji's slick, he made the call in advance knowing no little kid could resist ice cream. He knew the only way he would get Megumi to agree was if he paid him... so he promised the boy a fifty dollar Nintendo e-shop gift card.

Your two little cousins scream in excitement while running to the door where their shoes are.

"Now I can enjoy some quality time with my wife." He mumbles to himself. You know better than anyone that Toji's idea of "quality time" is wayyyy different from any normal definition of the phrase.

Anakin Skywalker Dating Headcanons

- credit to the gifs owner - Please be specific about characters in requests -

Masterlist Navigation

• Anakin would be pretty obsessed with you from the moment he realized he had feelings for you, even if you didn't feel the same way about him. He'd go out of his way to impress you or would become overprotective when it wasn't his place to do so until you caught onto why he was acting such a way.

• Anakin is constantly around you when you first start expressing romantic feelings for each other, even if he's not supposed to be attached to you. You're constantly having to remind him that your relationship needs to be more secretive, and despite him hating this he complies as best as he can to keep you both happy together.

• Finally being in a relationship and getting used to it would be quite hard for Anakin. He doesn't want to keep it to himself and he's desperate to have you constantly with him, and if this doesn't happen he becomes distressed and agitated by his constant thoughts of what you may be up to or who may be around you.

• Anakin does everything and anything you ask of him, he obeys your every word even if you may need to be slightly stern with him. You only ever need to push him to do something if it's involving him leaving you for a while or doing anything he may assume would put you in any kind of danger or vulnerability.

• He desperately wants to be completely open to everyone about his relationship with you, he wants to worship you on full display and show everyone that you're his. Since this can't be the case until some serious Jedi reforms have been made he'll sulk in private to you and will become visibly upset by having to hide his love and devotion to you.

• Every aspect of his being is dedicated to you, and he never makes a decision (both in his everyday life and during a fight) without considering the impact it may have on you first. His ultimate goal is to come back to you and make sure the cause he's fighting for is beneficial to you.

• He has an overwhelming obsession regarding you, and there's nothing that anyone could possibly do or attempt to pull him away. Even if you attempted a simple conversation with someone else, you'd have Anakin looming over you in almost an instant to ensure that whoever you're talking to knows of his protection over you.

• All he wants is for you to be as committed to him as he is to you, and for you to love him for as long as you can both be together for. He can never imagine himself without you, and will go out of his way to ensure nothing happens to you, and will go to seriously drastic measures if anything does.

• You and Anakin can have quite a few disagreements due to his behaviour and jealousy. He acts out quite often and this will lead to the two of you having arguments in private whilst keeping disagreements minimal in public. He always turns his arguments towards his devotion to you and how it blinds him from any real reasoning, and after a while, you see how much he really can't help his behaviour.

• Anakin wouldn't spend a second considering a gentle or nicer outcome for the people who hurt you, and will purposefully go out of his way to commit to an act of brutal revenge as much as he can. You may not agree with the things he resorts to (even when the person hasn't done much to offend or hurt you) but it's not as if many people can stop Anakin during his path of wrath once he's decided upon it.

boiler breakdown pt2

notes!!

in terms of warnings... gojo?? geto??? naoya????

i've also had to re-publish this as i used to use the old text editor, and it kept glitching whenever i wanted to go back to it

part oneㅤpart three

m.list

g.satoru

gojo is touchy and loves to tease you. so, when he saw that you were huddling into yourself after he forgets to pay his bills that subsequently caused your boiler to be switched off, he immediately encases you in his embrace and begins teasing you about the shivers wracking your body. however, no matter how much he bullies you and you throw heart-piercing glares at him, gojo does feel his heart tug once he sees just how cold you are and will ultimately scavenge your shared, messy apartment to find a blanket for you two to share. (he will also feel bad about purposefully forgetting to pay the heating bills as a prank)

g.suguru

there is no doubt in my mind that geto would notice that the heating has gone out before you, and would immediately excuse himself from whatever he was doing to check your thermostat or boiler. and once he finds that your heating is out and that there is no chance that it will be fixed before the morning, he would gather all the blankets in your apartment just to drop them on your frame. you, who had been resting on your shared bed watching some tv programme, struggled under the heavy weight before shooting your lover a dirty look: only for him to quickly lay on top of you murmuring something about how he knows you get cold easily.

n.kento

nanami is, once you two are in a comfortable and long-lasting relationship with each other where you basically tell each other every single detail about your lives, someone who will randomly pull you into hugs. though it is usually in the comfort of your own home, it wouldn't be unheard of for nanami to sling his arms around the expanse of your shoulders and hold you like that in public. and, if the heating goes out, don't fret; you're already cuddled up to your lover on your sofa with throws and pillows circling around you. nanami knows things before they even happen and, even though it does slightly freak you out, it's more than welcome when you get to spend more time in his arms.

z.naoya

if you had established a relationship with naoya where you are treated as an equal to him and are respected: congratulations. entertaining this idea, if your heater or boiler did break down, naoya would most likely act like he doesn't notice the harsh shivers that are causing your body to shake when really he does. and when he wordlessly gets up from your sofa and the film you were both watching you just assume that he was going to get a drink or some snacks. it's only a few moments after he left that naoya returns with a velvet throw and drapes the fabric over your body mutely; though he does ensure that you are comfortable and lays a soft kiss upon your forehead. (he also pats the space next to him if you two weren't already close to him, inviting you to snuggle up against him)

HI I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna talk about how Astro Boy is a great example of the 'came back wrong' trope especially because He Came Back Exactly Like He Already Was- and also it's Such a fucking trans allegory.

In every iteration the basic story is that Dr. Tenma, a super important figure in the field of robots, has a son, Toby, who dies due to some form of technology. So, he brings Toby back in the form of a robot replacement, 'Astro Boy', only to eventually decide he's done with him, because he 'isn't his son anymore'.

In the 60s series he gets frustrated that Astro isn't growing like a normal child and dumps his ass off to go get traumatized in a robot dog fighting ring. In the 2000s series he's the main antagonist even!

But my favorite iteration is the 2009 movie, especially because it hit really close to home as a trans person. which is a. WILD fucking thing to say i'm aware but just like. hear me out.

So Toby is killed in an accident and his father is devastated, so he brings him back by creating a robot body that looks exactly like him and importing all of his memories into it. He has no memory of ever dying, however. To him, it's like no time has passed and suddenly everyone is acting super tense around him. His dad, who was previously very distant. even wants to be around him full time now. So whatever, back to normal kid stuff I guess.

Except his dad seems to have the wrong idea of who he was. He has memories regarding Toby's childhood that Toby himself, who, mind you, has exact copies of his old memories, doesn't remember ever happening. His dad, who barely knew him and is fresh out of working nonstop for months to bring his son back, remembers him as a perfect, polite, gifted kid- and now that Toby's back to acting like himself, only now his child-like impulses and interests are no longer repressed, his father assumes that he's done something wrong.

When Toby finds out he's a robot by chance, he's excited to share this with his dad, but he's met with his dad telling him that he's a robot, a copy of his son that acts nothing like him, that every time he sees his face he's reminded of his dead child, that he wants nothing to do with him anymore, and that he doesn't love him.

This leads to him running away to live a life as a kid amongst others his age, choosing a new name (Astro) and being accepted for who he is and congratulated for the things he can do. For once in his life he's made actual connections. Once his new caretaker becomes hostile due to his identity as a robot however, he is captured and taken home so his father can have him decommissioned. And right before he dies, all he can think to do is apologize that he couldn't have been a better son.

anyways tl;dr his dad changes his mind, brings him back to life, his new friends support him, he beats the bad guy w/e w/e, what really stuck with me was his dad catching back up and telling him, "You may not be Toby, but you're my son." before the climax. THAT really got me

Because ultimately, it's a story about repressing parts of yourself, about those who are close to you knowing someone who isn't really you at all, about facing rejection upon learning who you are and sharing it with those close to you, about starting a new life with a new name and people who love you for you, and about eventually being accepted by those who found you important enough to them that they decide to get to know you like they never did before.

TL;DR, shoutout to Astro Boy, the trans kid ever.

[kunikinnie]

Your request are open so I hope you don't mind <3. Shsjdjdj I just love Yukichi so much. May I ask for hcs of him being on an age gap relationship? (Like 25 years old reader.) Like he's being insecure that you needed to be with someone's younger or that he's too old for you— with fluff in the end please 🥺💮

a/n: oh yes I absolutely don't mind! I hope these are okay :) I know a few 10+ year age gap couples so I'll try to base these off those if you don't mind ehe

being in a relationship with a large age gap

featuring: Fukuzawa x GN!Reader

He's happy and grateful that you two are romantically involved, but there are fears in the back of his head that he does his best to suppress.

First is public opinion. Many frown upon this type of relationship and he's afraid that it would ruin both of your (but especially yours) reputations, which is why only a select few are aware of it. He's fortunate that all of those who know support you two fully but it's hard to know how others might react.

Keeping the relationship a secret is not exactly difficult as he thought it would be. Given his occupation and position, most of his subordinates and acquaintances respect his silence on the matter. They all just assume it's for his partner's safety.

That doesn't mean it's not inconvenient at times, though. Sometimes he's wary whenever you go out or are alone together - he's not sure if it's alright to show even the slightest of physical affection. You'll be walking together and his mind is in turmoil over whether he should hold your hand or not.

Another is other parties romantically interested in you. Your age and of course your personality is attractive to many, and most of those are those in the same age group as yours. The possibility of there being someone more attuned to your tastes and preferences (as well as the culture of your age) is high. What if you realize you enjoy their company more than his?

This is his greatest fear. Aside from his age, his tight schedule as president leaves him with little time and energy to spend with you than he would like. The thought of someone else consoling you, doing things that he should be doing, and ultimately replacing him worries him constantly.

This is why he checks on you often. Texting you, sending you flowers and other small gifts, and verbally asking you how you're doing are his preferred ways of showing he cares. You can expect more expensive presents whenever he's busy and/or a little anxious over that new guy you've been talking with recently.

Okay enough angst HAHA some fluff!

The nicest thing about you being so young is your energy. Somehow you can talk thrice as long as he could, while he listens (although not always attentively - this guy's got stuff on his mind too). The things you share and the frequent change of pace is a welcome breath of fresh air. It makes him feel young, too.

Advice-giving was always his strong suit - or at least that's the role the people around him assigned him to - so you don't have to look far for guidance even for the most mundane things.

What he just doesn't understand no matter how hard he tries is your sense of humor. Pop culture, memes, you name it. Well, to be fair he's not the type to understand the humor of his own generation way back then anyway, but if you want someone to stare at you confused and concerned then you've got your guy.

Here's a funny thing about your relationship: both of you are so worried for each other that you both secretly take care of the other too much. For example: he'll do some chores for you when you're out because he believes that the older one should take of the younger one; this is because they have more experience and should help those less-experienced.

On the flip side, you do the exact same thing because in your head, you should be taking care of him since he's older and needs to rest more. Not to mention his current position as a leader. It ends up that chores get done twice without the other knowing, until one day you caught him doing "your" chores.

Favorite activity is relaxing or sleeping together. Whether or not you're both exhausted, he thinks it's the best way for you two to bond while being able to recharge. These are also the times when he doesn't have to think of anything and just enjoy your presence.

At the end of the day, as long as you choose to be with him and are mature enough to understand the world he lives in, then there your relationship will pretty be much like any other.

Drowning in his Eye's (SanemixGiyuu oneshot)

I posted this on Ao3 around 2 months ago? anyway I'll be crossposting my oneshots/fics. The only thing that made me write this was the fact that I was bored in math last year and would write to pass the time. so enjoy I have no idea how posting fanfiction on tumbler works so please excuse the terrible format.

Warnings: semi-graphic depictions of a corpse, Sanemi has a dirty mouth and curses, make-outs????

     "You're such a fucking asshole!" Sanemi all ways did this when they where on a mission together. "I don't know why its only us that are constantly sent on missions together, we clearly hate each other, if anything its counter productive!" Sanemi fumed.

    Giyuu almost never complained about anything, but he didn't feel like putting up with him today. " Shinazugawa I am painfully aware of how much you dislike me, but I would appreciate it if you quiet down a tiny bit. You're giving me a headache."

     "like I care how you feel, you think you can tell me to shut up and that I would listen to-." Sanemi stopped talking. In the middle of the path a women's body had been left to rot. She was half eaten, missing her legs and an arm. Giyuu walked up to her and put a hand on her wrist, not to check if she was alive(that was already obvious), but to check if she was stiff yet.

     "Seems like she was left here last night, she's almost cold down to her bones, it takes at least 12 hours for that."

"And how exactly do you know that." Sanemi walked a bit closer to Giyuu to get a better look at the body.

     "Rigor mortis is still set in fairly recently, at most I would say 11 hours ago, look." Giyuu picks up her hand, the hand had a difficulty being picked up.

     "That didn't answer my question you ass..." Sanemi Sighs." the sun sets in about 30 minutes so the demon will likely come out again, it will only set us back by a few hours if we do."

     "I think that would be the best course of action, we should still be able to get to Kyoto tomorrow." Giyuu stated dryly, and started to drag her off to the side of the path and began to bury her. Sanemi wasn't known to wait around for anyone, but when he was partnered with Giyuu he felt the need to slow down. It was like he wanted to save the image in he's head and spend as much time with Giyuu as he could. The could be dead the next day, hour, minute, or even second in their profession. Sanemi knew what he was thinking but refused to act upon his own minds wishes, it was common sense was it not? It's not even the fact that they where two men, Sanemi had no issues with that, it's the fact that it was Giyuu Tomioka. 

     And Sanemi had made a point that  he hated Giyuu's guts.

     And for Giyuu, he was just so dead set on killing demons that he just misses the tension the two of them have. Sanemi wishes it was that easy though, the amount of times Sanemi had went to Tengen asking what he should do ultimately came to nothing as Tengen just said to not hide what he was feeling. Sanemi had left out one key detail in his explanation, he was asking for advise on how to deal with Giyuu. The though of acknowledging that he had grown to care for Giyuu made him want to rip his heart out and hand it to the nearest demon-

     "Shinazugawa." Sanemi snapped out of the fuzzy haze his mind had set him in and found himself staring at the water Hashira. "are you feeling alright."

     "Why wouldn't I be." Sanemi growled.

     " you're unfocused and your face Is red, so I'm assuming something is wrong." Sanemi had finally pulled himself together enough that he noticed that Giyuu had already buried the woman and was now standing in front of him. Sanemi found himself locked onto Giyuu's dull blue eyes, taking in every detail, it was like looking into an ocean with no end. It took all Sanemi had to not just give in and lose himself in them.  

     "I'm fine." Sanemi turned away in an attempt to not give away what he was thinking about, but he didn't really need to as Giyuu turned away. Sanemi pulled out his sword. "Get ready for a fight it's only going to get darker."

     Giyuu looked up at the lavender sky. "let's go find an inn, that took longer than expected." he put his nichirin katana back in it's sheath and looked towards Sanemi. "And we should patch up your wounds, you fight so recklessly."

     "Fine just don't pick anywhere that's shitty." Sanemi would never in a million years would think that Giyuu would would ever show any crumb of concern to anyone, let alone him.

     "there is a decent one in the next town over, it's not that far of a walk either." wordlessly Sanemi started to walk down the path, Giyuu following after. "do you know where it is?"

     I slow down so Giyuu could catch up to me to show me where the inn is.

     "room for two." Giyuu placed the amount of money listed on the the board on to the counter.

     The old inn keeper turned and grabbed a key from a drawer and handed it to Giyuu. "here you go sweetie, have a good day." She picked her book back up and took out her bookmark.

     Giyuu walked out of the main building back to where Sanemi was sitting to a rock. Sanemi laugh sight of Giyuu and stood up signing that he would follow him to the room. Giyuu opens the door and holds it for Sanemi. When Sanemi got through the door he immediately striped from his cropped haori and throwing it on the back of a chair at the table, leaving his in only his open uniform. Giyuu took a first aid kit from the bag he got from a store in town. Giyuu makes his way over to Sanemi who was now sitting on the table and sets the first aid kit down.

     "do you actually know how to properly wrap bandages." Sanemi nervously( although he would never admit it) looked down at Giyuu who took out a medium sized gauze pad.

     "I do know how, I need your shirt off for the one on your stomach." Sanemi unbuttons   his uniform and throws it on the table. Giyuu's hands where a grounding cold, they reminded Sanemi that he was still alive and breathing. the feeling was disturbing to him. But despite his better judgment Sanemi lets his body relax and his face falls into a look that can only be described as contemplative but content. Sanemi made up his mind and decided that today was the day, moments like these don't stay for long as Sanemi always backs out of being venerable. 

     As Giyuu finished up Sanemi's bandages and started to put them away, Sanemi turned to him. "do you mind if I do something real quick."

     Giyuu turned back to Sanemi still needing to look up at him as he was still sitting on the table. "as long as you don't further help yourself you can do what you want." 

    Sanemi leaned slightly off his chair now looking directly into Giyuu's eyes, once again comparing them to an endless abyss in his own mind. What had those eyes seen, there was a reason Giyuu joined the demon slayer corps. what had he lost?

     Sanemi lifted his hand up and places it on Giyuu's cheek. " Can I kiss you."

     Giyuu's face turned a bright shade of red comparable to Tanjiro's eyes, but instead of yelling he was stuttering out of control. So he just nodded his head and tilted his head down out of embarrassment. 

     Sanemi leaned down further, and cupped Giyuu's cheek lifting his face to stare in his eyes. He closes the distance pressing them together. in contrast to Giyuu's hands his lips where warm and had the opposite effect on Sanemi, they made him feel like he was floating. No, not floating, falling; falling into the ocean that is Giyuu Tomioka, falling in love.  They part after a moment, foreheads falling against each other. Sanemi looked down at Giyuu's face, his cheeks flushed and eyelids fluttering open to meeting the pale purple of Sanemi's eyes.

     Giyuu opens his mouth to speak "Shin-"

       " Call me Sanemi."

… that take about padme’s reaction to the massacre really makes me realize how much my own circumstances influence my reading of her, because to me “go super placating, start giving him what he wants in hopes that you can sway him with some doomed to failure tit-for-tat” is an extremely familiar reaction to the realization that the person you have to rely on is capable of extreme violence. like, not a *good* reaction, i guess, but a really familiar one.

Every reaction in a situation like that is a survival instinct. It doesn't matter if it's "good" or "bad." If it keeps you safe, that's all that matters. I would never judge a real person for how they react in a real-life scary situation.

There are a lot of ways to read Padme, and I think every reading has value to it. One thing that's frustrating about her is that it's so damn hard to figure out what is going on inside her head, particularly when it comes to Anakin. We're told she's madly in love with him, but what led her there? Why would she fall in love with a child killer in the first place??

Padme WAS trapped in a bad situation in that scene. She's being targeted by assassins, and the only person on the planet she can rely on to protect her is an awkward teenage boy who has repeatedly made inappropriate (and maybe even illegal, considering she's a senator and he's a jedi) advances towards her that she keeps having to turn down. I think a lot of women would assume she felt uncomfortable around him, given how unsettling or even frightening unwanted advances are irl. And then he comes back, obviously distraught, with his dead mom, then freaks out and starts screaming and crying about how he just killed a bunch of Tuskens, including women and children, and that he feels no remorse, only hatred.

I think a lot of people would do what Padme did in that situation: offer sympathy, soothe him, try to calm him down so he won't act violently anymore. But most people, upon hearing a guy confess to being a dangerous mass murderer, would also get away from him ASAP and report him to the authorities.

Padme doesn't do that.

Maybe that's understandable AT FIRST, because she needs to deal with all the shit going down on Geonosis. Maybe the kiss is even understandable, because she thinks they're about to die and she cares about him/thinks he's hot, so why not give in to the attraction and make out?

But it's everything after that makes me think Padme might have been into Anakin's violence. I don't think it's that she feels protected by him, because he's honestly a pretty incompetent bodyguard in this movie and she can defend herself just fine. I think she might have felt powerful knowing that she had a hot, dangerous Jedi wrapped around her finger. I think she liked that he broke his vows, both because she saw it as romantic and because she thought he did it all for her. (He did not, but she willfully ignored that, a pattern that would repeat right up until he choked her out. I really think she thought the "you're breaking my heart" line would stop him, because she assumed until the end that she held more sway over him than she actually did.)

Maybe she had a bit of "I can fix him" going on too, but we also have to keep in mind that Padme is a very ambitious person who likes having power, and Anakin is very attractive to those types of people, because he's strong and he's easily led. She's also no stranger to violence, and I think she might be a bit of an adrenaline junkie; a rich and powerful senator wouldn't put herself in peril that often unless a part of her enjoyed the excitement. And Anakin is the ultimate adrenaline rush; they're breaking all the rules together, he's powerful, and he's dangerous. But no one actually likes being around dangerous people unless you believe that they're not a danger to you, so I think Padme convinced herself that she was the one holding his leash.

It never would have worked if they had to spend an extended amount of time together, but the war prolonged the fantasy for her. He was the Hero With No Fear! Sure, he was violent, but he was using it for the good of the Republic! And she's the one he came home to, so there's no way he was a threat to her when he had other ways to slake his bloodthirst. Maybe she convinced herself that he was only ever that violent in defense of those he loves, and he loved her more than anyone else.

By RotS, she'd wrapped herself in layer after layer of self-delusion, ignoring every single one of Anakin's red flags so that he wouldn't shatter her romantic fantasy. She couldn't admit that she'd fucked up royally, because then she'd have to admit that what she did was wrong and her whole life (and probably her perception of herself as a good person) would fall down around her ears. And I think she probably downplayed the massacre because it was Tuskens, not humans, and the Naboo humans have a history of tension with the Gungans so she's already primed to see other species as less-than. Sure, she swallowed her pride and begged them for help, but there's gotta be a reason that was the last resort.

That's why she was unable to accept that Anakin had killed children, even though she's the only one who knows about his history of child murder. That's why she was willing to have children with a child murderer, and never once thought he would be a threat to them. After all, those Tuskens were Outer Rim nobodies hated by the humans on their planet; they didn't count. Those kids he killed weren't Core-world human kids like their babies would be. They weren't kids at all, to her. But she knew and cared about Ahsoka, so hearing that Anakin killed a bunch of Jedi children just a few years younger than her was too much for her to process, and she went into denial until Obi-Wan told her there was footage of him doing it. (She never saw the Tusken massacre; with her it was very much out of sight, out of mind. She might have even convinced herself he was exaggerating.)

I don't want to victim blame Padme for being in a bad relationship. However, I will blame her for letting mass murder slide. She should have never let Anakin get away with it, and as a legislator it is literally her job to prevent and punish shit like that.

Padme is fascinating, honestly. I want to study her under a microscope bc WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE THINKING?? LUCAS I MUST KNOW

[rubberduckyrye]

You know, I've been thinking lately--about Chapter 4 of DRV3 and Kokichi's motives, and there is one interpretation that I don't see ever that also lines up with the canon evidence provided to us.

It stems off of the Mass Mercy Kill Theory though, sort of like a sister theory to it--and I personally don't know how to feel on it, because it assumes Kokichi's intelligent enough not to fall for the Mastermind's trap (something I find weakens his character, because I like characters who are more realistic that DR's typical Ultimate Analysts, they're just way too """smart""') but anyway

I once assumed that Kokichi's mass mercy kill plot and his later conclusion that the game is being watched were mutually exclusive--but actually, theres something to say about them NOT being mutually exclusive at all.

During chapter 5, when Kokichi kidnaps Kaito in the Death Road of Despair, he talks about how he was the Mastermind of the Cult responsible for bringing them all to hell. That this Cult believed that humanity should just fucking die in the pits of hell.

So what does this have to do with the sister theory to my typical Mass Mercy Kill theory? Well, it's this: Kokichi was always aware that they were being watched by an audience, and upon realizing that they had no home to return to, lost his mind and wanted to mass mercy kill them all.

It's quite possible that whatever he and Gonta saw weren't what we saw as the player. If the world was Fictional (Or VR,) The Masterminds responsible could have changed "The Secret of the Outside world" at any point before we saw it. It's possible that they were supposed to learn that they were "fictional characters" (or lied to about it) at this point but did a test run on Gonta and Kokichi, finding that it was too strong of a motive and it wouldn't make for anything entertaining, and changing it to be something else.

Because learning your a fictional character (or being gaslit into believing so) is so much worse than just the End of the world--because if you're fictional character, your world is already dead. It never was alive. Everything is a lie. Your fate is sealed and at the whims of a sadistic writer who thinks and acts for you. You have no power, no control, and are someone's play thing in a reality that doesn't even exist. To learn your world was not only gone, but that it was a lie, is mind breaking. Like there is a reason why its frowned upon to pull """pranks""" on people by implying their reality isn't real--shit's fucked up!

So, you can read Kokochi's mass mercy kill plot being fueled by this kind of madness. That mind breaking reality that his life was a lie, his friends were a lie, everything was just a lie. Plus you have the added bonus that people are like, just. Watching the V3 cast suffer. Not only is his life a fucking lie but people are getting a kick out of watching him and the others suffer? That would be despair inducing.

So he tries to mercy kill everyone--not just to save them from realizing there is no hope for them beyond these walls, even if there was an outside world to go back to, but to say fuck you to those who created them and enjoyed their suffering. You want to watch us in pain? Our very existence is nothing but your entertainment for the week? Fuck you.

We're not your playthings.

It ties in to Kokichi's fake cult, too. How they supposedly thought that humanity should die, the world should burn, ectect? Sounds like hes venting about his true revelation of them being fictional characters.

Anyway, that's just one other interpretation that popped up in my head :'D not one I ever see though, but then again I'm basically the only main analyst (or the first one) in the fandom that ever considered the Mass Mercy Kill plot thing.

Anyway time to sink back into my hole.

Ultimate Cuteness Series - Ultra Despair Girls Edition (Part Four)

Sorry if this one's short

The next morning, you, Toko and Komaru ventured to Towa Tower.

The elevator required a card to activate, so you resorted to walking up the stairs. Before you could start, however, you had a sudden encounter with arguably one of the most interesting Monokumas you'd ever seen: the Ball Monokuma.

After taking out the Monokuma, you continued upstairs, only to find that the next set of stairs were blocked off. While looking for another way upstairs, you found a book about a spiritual detective and a dragon palace. Komaru then told a story about the time she saw her grade-school teacher's ghost by her bed, and how he quit the next day when he returned.

You personally found it fascinating, although Toko wasn't all that impressed.

You continued your journey and found another set of stairs and continued onwards from there.

As you continued walking, you heard the sounds of typing on a keyboard. You turned the corner and saw a man kneeling on the ground before a keyboard. This startled the three of you, and Toko ended up taking a terrible tumble down the stairs.

The man was actually quite friendly, and he said he was using the laptop to try and remove the wristband, like the kind you and Komaru were wearing.

Something about his appearance, the softness in his voice, and the way he acted reminded you of someone from Hope's Peak. But you couldn't put your finger on it.

Now joined by this friendly man, you made your way back down the stairs. He got to work on the elevator card reader, and you got surrounded by Junk Monokumas. After the short confrontation, he made it into the card reader, and you got the elevator going.

He then thanked the three of you, and started ranting about how hopeful he felt now, and that everything will be alright. Unfortunately, that didn't last long, as the elevator doors opened and a Beast Monokuma jumped out and mauled your new companion.

Toko used the stun gun and switched to Genocide Jack, and she made quick work of the Beast Monokumas. After that was over, you rushed to your dying companion's side. He apologized for making you continue by yourselves, and he revealed that he was separated from his family as well. He soon released his final breath, and just like that, he was gone.

Komaru noticed a handbook on him and opened it up, showing a photo of him and his child.

Ah, so that's why he seemed familiar. You remembered seeing them around Hope's Peak before, from the 78th class.

After seeing that, you collapsed to your knees in a fit of tears.

"He's dead! We just met him, and he's dead! We didn't even get to know his name! He should've survived and played with us longer! It's not fair it's not fair it's not fair it's not FAIR!"

Komaru immediately rushed to comfort you while Toko experienced secondhand embarrassment from how pathetic you were being.

"Jeez, you're even worse than Omaru..." She remarked.

Komaru held you and rubbed your back soothingly while she did her best to cheer you up. All the while, you held your bunny plush in front of your face, completely blocking it from view.

Once you recovered, Komaru wiped away your tears and helped you up, and you continued onward.

The elevator started again, and as Toko started to talk about the Future Foundation, the elevator suddenly stopped.

You then noticed a set of doors and forced them open, and you walked right into an arena, similar to the one from the subway.

Except this time, the masked child from before was up on the platform. And next to him was a small frog plush.

You saw a gleam in his eyes as he gazed upon you, but it soon faded.

Toko commented that she was curious about "how horrible Jataro's face looked," but he once again insisted that her eyeballs would rot if he were to remove his mask.

He seemed to be genuinely panicking, and he let slip that he was forced to wear that mask every day, mentioning a "she" that you assumed to be his mother. It made you feel horrible for him.

As he continued his rant, Toko assumed that he, like the other kids, wanted revenge against the adults who made him suffer. But he insisted otherwise and said that they simply wanted to change the world. To your surprise, the Monokuma Kids booed him instead of cheering.

Komaru stepped forward and insisted that what he was doing was unforgiveable, no matter his reasons for doing it. That caused the Monokuma Kids to cheer.

Even they didn't like Jataro. That made you feel even worse for him.

But it made him... Happy?

He summoned a large controller, similar to the one Masaru had, and he slammed it on the ground and summoned a robot. He picked up the frog plush and threw it out on the battlefield, and it mutated into a large, plump frog with a long, blue tongue.

"Do your best... My wonderful Illusionist Frog."

He mentioned someone by the name of "Big Sis Junko," catching you and Toko's attention. You all knew the drill and got to work. You noticed that the frog's pale underbelly was shaped like a lily pad, so you figured that to be the weak spot. These two were stronger than Masaru's, but Komaru and Genocide Jack double-teamed the duo and managed to defeat the robot and the plushie.

Just like last time, the robot exploded, and the Monokuma Kids surrounded Jataro and prepared to punish him for losing the game. They all grabbed him and tore off his mask. Before you left with Toko and Komaru, you saw a glimpse of him. He was... Beautiful. He wasn't ugly at all.

Before they could drag him to his execution, the Illusionist Frog hopped in, grabbed him with his tongue, and threw him over the wall. The Monokuma Kids picked up the plushie and ripped it to shreds, similar to what happened with Masaru's Hero Hound.

Komaru and Toko noticed you were lingering, and came back to grab you and pull you with them as they left the arena.

[front-facing-pokemon]

you should talk about your pokémon ocs sometime :0

ahh well there'd have to be enough demand for it, as with most things i talk about outside of the tags. i basically never make posts outside of ffp that aren't responses to asks—but i have responded to every ask i've gotten so far. as with every post i make that isn't ffp, i run the risk of someone out there saying "you're just the front-facing pokémon blog, i came here for that, stop talkin' so much" which is why i usually relegate my commentary to the tags unless i get an ask. sure, my oc stuff is something i'm proud of—i used to have an entire blog dedicated to it, though i deleted it after a while—but it's a pretty involved thing to talk about. there's a lot i have yet to say about myself that i could talk about, but if the demand isn't there, then i assume the general consensus is that folks are here for front-facing pokémon, and the occasional commentary in the tags

… though since you asked, i'll give a small summary rundown under the cut

what i've made is basically a homebrew ttrpg based off of the pmd series. there's a few games in the series, all with their own pmd-game-styled titles, and they're based around trying to replicate the feel and spirit of a pmd game as much as possible while still having a lot of the freedom that comes with a ttrpg as opposed to a video game. they're solo campaigns, obviously since i'm recreating pmd in ttrpg form, and they've had a few players so far—but only one has managed to get all the way through two of the campaigns

there's a lot of characters, and some of the worldbuilding is extrapolated straight from pmd. wigglytuff's guild, the expedition society, all that—i tried to structure the world in the same way while also expanding upon it based on the characters i placed in the world and more lore to give even the seasoned pmd fan things to learn about the world and what's happening in it

at one point, i did try to do a written adaptation of it online. it's since been deleted, because i entered college and sorta never had the time to update it, but i still work on the world and the characters to this day. by definition, since it's a ttrpg, it's collaborative in essence—there are baseline things that i can establish as "canon" of course, and there's an intended outcome and intended ways to play the game, but ultimately it's up to player interpretation exactly how everything is done. and that was my primary goal—to make sort of an undertale style world where it's less focused on dungeon-crawling combat like traditional dnd and more on good roleplay and character interactions + dialogue. it's just about living in the pmd world, after having been turned into a pokémon—and saving the world, too, of course

there's much, much more i could say about it, but i'll leave it at that, for now. such as the text-based nature using pmd talksprites to convey dialogue, the formatting and gameplay, the partial voice acting done by yours truly…

but if i talk about that too much then i risk talking about myself and the whole "i wish i could do voice work as a career but it doesn't seem viable so i'm stuck being a software developer" thing and we don't wanna see that

@resolutepath &&. said... "Is there something on my face, comrade?" There's a pleasant smile that rests upon lips as he addresses the other, though a caution in his words. Pushing himself from the lounge he's adopted to sit up more readily, Childe casts his gaze up and down, studious and assessing, before bracing his hands against the wall ready to stand. "If you keep looking at me like that, I'm going to start thinking you're after a fight, which of course I'd be happy to oblige!"

it's  an  unfortunate  thing  that  his  face  is  so  easily  readable.  it  warrants  careful  managing,  lest  it  reveal  more  of  the  wanderer's  true  INTENTIONS  than  he's  comfortable  sharing.  it's  precisely  for  that  reason  he's  developed  such  a  peculiar  fondness  for  large  hats.  most  are  quick  to  assume  they  act  as  a  shield  against  the  elements  —  from  the  rain,  or  the  sun's  unrelenting  rays.  in  truth,  it's  simply  a  convenient  excuse  to  conceal  his  expression  (  his  raw emotions  )  behind  a  literal  barrier.  denying  curious  onlookers  the  opportunity  to  learn  more  than  they  DESERVE.  however,  it's  still  an  imperfect  solution;  for  as  much  as  ren  might  try  to  hide,  the  shield  he  uses  still  comes  with  its  share  of  cracks.

though it probably doesn't help when he sits there GLARING DAGGERS at someone, hat or no hat.

it's  as  if  he's  been  pulled  out  of  a  trance  when  childe  speaks;  the  wanderer  blinks,  then  leans  back  —  his  features  (  once  contorted  in  an  irritated little  scowl  )  smoothing  out  into  something  more  indifferent.  getting  lost  in  thought, now of all times ...  how  foolish  of  him.  but  he's  truly  left  at  a  loss  —  what  is  childe  doing  here?  sumeru  is  his  territory.  the  closest  thing  he's  had  to  a  genuine  HOME  in  centuries.  ren  can't  help  but  feel  protective  over  it,  like  a  territorial  street  cat  prowling  its  alleyway  of  choice  —  digging  merciless  claws  into  whatever  VERMIN  dare  attract  its  attention.  catching  any  fatui  loitering  about  fill  him  with  the  same  flavor  of  disgust  as  one  discovering  a  particularly  repulsive  insect  scuttling  around  their  house.  yet  they  are  ultimately  worthless.  (  less  than  pawns.  )  encountering  a  harbinger,  even  one  whom  he  previously  held  in  such  low  regard,  is  a  different  story  entirely. depending on his motives, this might actually be somewhat CONCERNING.

❝  ...  no.  ❞  he  finally  replies.  ❝  nothing  like  that.  ❞  agreeing  to  a  FIGHT  is  far  too  risky.  the  last  thing  ren  wants  is  to  attract  any  unwanted  attention  —  and  while  he  may  be  able  to  pull  his  punches  and  put  on  the  façade  of  someone  far  weaker  than  he  actually  is,  he  can't  hide  his  unnatural  durability.  (  nor  the  manner  in  which  he  heals  near-instantly  from  wounds.  )   ❝  you  just  looked  FAMILIAR ...  that's  all.  ❞

It's so ironic that you're bashing Fate for being woke but you're putting RWBY on a higher pedestal.

[/QUOTE]

I'm just happy I'm just happy we stopped the suppression/gaslighting campaign that there is no wokeness/problem with how some issues are presented and the audience is being treated as a whole that doesn't necessarily make every objection to the idea or progressive cultural values good but I'm just happy that we finally stopped suppressing it it's like when you're actually talking about what the issue is about rather than really mouthing a rationalization that you have to constantly engaging because no other method is allowed

That said it's arguably be cuz with that sense of fear that has made some of the more attempting to be progressive series so terrible

Take RWBY arguably season 9 should be a reflection season but it should be one where the characters actually pick up their genuine mistakes look at them decide what they did wrong and what they're going to do right in the end

Even if those are mistakes we can't fault them for it's not a bad leader that reflects on failure quite the opposite even if that failure has no fault to it because they are dedicated to doing the right thing and improving themselves and the people that they are trying to lead

The same as The same as even though I know he's completely wrong I'm okay with the blow up at ruby by John or even ruby at her team because at this point she's at the end of her rope she doesn't know what to do and she doesn't understand why the hell she has to do it and she's reached this breaking point much further after everyone else long has

The problem is the artificiality in order to make all of this happen as well as try to give it weight rather than just organically have the characters talk reflect understand each other and grow

The only thing that's kind of sort of organic is John and his involved time travel

With the upcoming season of arcane I really appreciate the fact that we have what is arguably a very progressive story where the drive is between women at the very least we have sexuality and sexual orientation not assume to be traditional and straight

But it doesn't stop on a simple team Jersey ra ra. it's hard to say who the bad guy is in all of this and even if there is a very obvious evil from say a traditional easy to have straw man such as the rich elite you then have to sit down and go okay so how do they fix it and suddenly you're hit with the fact that it's not as easy as kill the rich elite

The one character that acts upon this direct and with no regard to anything else is banana nut crazy

Wait Wait the 2 characters. 1 is called out as immature and damaging the very things she's fighting for and the other is banana nut crazy.

the one who pretends to is an exploitive drug dealing hypocritical groomer Desperate for all the things he envies in others and ultimately only comes to realize what his true goal should have been for the beginning after he's destroyed itOut of the same supposed love that's been driving all of his exploitation.

This is because This is because it's genuinely being political and that politics is about the negotiation between 2 needed will and resources on people who disagree but need each other to come to some sort of outcome and the negatives of when that does not happen or how it is approached

Way to Way too often what we get is propaganda fiction where all you have to do is kill an exaggerated straw man of your opponents and out comes a happy ending.

And more importantly I love killing the idea of destroying the hissing at both sides there are 2 sides of this you need both sides to agree and if you can't do that or you can't engage on how to get 12 the other and what you are advocating for all that you might claim the otherwise is the suppression orAuthority do not have to do that which is a lot more evil than you realize

One of the things that's really scary about nazis last week they were your neighbor or best friend you speak the same language and now they hate you so much that they're willing to kill you for a bunch of stuff that you don't even really understand or thought were good things or just innocent things

But this But this all gets sidestepped for a sort of I found the family that basically gives me everything I want like a changeling fantasy Whose association makes me pure snow because now I'm a victim and that's not responsible for my part and all of the damage that was caused and now can just revel in attacking that which once had authority over me or I was a part of because I will replace those who had authority over me previously

There will be no negative problems to this or if they are they will easily negated let's move on to the love triangle

And that And that's what the Crim Della crim of the c***

It's why I It's why I hate politics and stories because it feels as if it's not actually engaging with the political process or thinking or a person but being a means a political action against the audience and charging them for it

That's just preaching. And the obligation to take part in a luxury product being driven by the same or taking the place of a religious institution or community membership is disgusting

The Rest Of Our Lives

Levi Ackerman x Reader

It had all finally came to an end, the world could finally try its best to heal from years upon years of death.

Speaking of healing, he had gone through the worst of it over the years. And finally, he has the rest of his life to heal.

But he can't do it alone...

(Spoiler Warning!!! This story contains spoilers for the end of the Attack on Titan manga!!!)

It had been three years since that fateful battle. So many lives had been lost that day, good and bad, friend and enemy. Even the majority of the human population, eighty percent to be specific, had been wiped out just for the slim chance of peace, and even then, it wasn't completely guaranteed. But for now, all was calm. That day, was the battle between titan and human, heaven and earth. The day the dreaded rumbling had began, and soon ended. It resulted in many deaths and plenty of injuries, the worst landed upon Levi Ackerman. Humanity's strongest soldier was nearly killed, but he wasn't given that title for nothing. He was still living today, though missing a few fingers, a working eye, and finally his permanently damaged leg. It wasn't too much of a problem, as there were no longer any titans to fight. Though, it was somewhat, shameful in his eyes. That after everything, a busted leg is what holds him down. He wasn't even elderly, and yet he needed constant help. He grateful for the help however, though he wished he didn't have to burden people with his problem so much.

But, it wasn't a burden or a problem to her.

She was there by his side for as long as he can remember. She fought by his side during expeditions, comforted him during his low points, and even risked her life over and over to keep him safe and alive. He can't say he's never done the same for her. Maybe it was her constant attention and care, that made him fall in love with her. At the time, it was horrible. He fell in love with someone he could so easily loose, but now in a world free of titans, he could love her as much as he wanted. And the same goes for her. They both confessed their love for each other shortly before the rumbling began, then he proposed to her after everything settled.

And so, here they were, in their own little cabin next to a beautiful lake, surrounded by tall pine trees. They both were outside today, rested on the bench that sat right before the lake. Hand in hand, her head leaning on his shoulder. Their gentle breaths in sync with one another. The calmness of the quiet air, aided to their ease. For once in their lives, they felt no need for worry or panic, or when the next attack from the titans would be. And they would never need for such worries again.

Her eyes slowly opened, she smiled as the first thing she saw, was her soon to be husband. Even with the scars, he was still as handsome as ever. Though, his eyes were distant and somewhat empty. Why? "Levi?" She spoke softly. "Are you ok?" Levi finally blinked, sighing softly he looked down at you. "I'm fine. Why do you ask?" She sits up to meet his gaze. "You seem, a little distant. Are you tired?" Levi shakes his head before placing his hand on his scar. "Just thinking." He muttered. Was that what this was about? This would happen every now and then, Levi would just stare at himself in the mirror. Well, less himself and more at his blinded eye, the two long scars that covered it. It started from the top of his eye down to his lip. He considered himself lucky, that explosion Zeke Yeager caused could have just killed him all together. But it only costed him an eye and a few fingers.

Still she wondered, did he hate how he looked now? He never commented on it before, so she just assumed he didn't care. But the way his overall expression would falter anytime he saw it, or tried to lifted his hand, or even when he tried to stand. "Levi? You know I didn't think less of you because of those scars." She placed her hand on top of his damaged one. "Or your hand. Or your leg. I still love you. I always have and I always will. This doesn't change a thing." Y/n say softly, trying to reassure him. "I...I know that Y/n. But....it's not that...not this time." Levi looks up at the sky. It was a soft orange, signifying the end of the day. "Every time I wake up, I wonder when it will happen." Y/n blinks a few times, not really understanding. "When what will happen?" She asks. "When they will come back. The titans. Before, at any moment, we could die at the hands of those giant bastards." Y/n would be lying if she said she hadn't felt the same at sometimes.

"But Levi, that was before. They're gone now. There are no more titans, we're safe." She explains to him.

"For how long?"

The panic in his voice was clear. Y/n took both of his hands and held them in her own. Her eyes full of sincerity as she spoke. "Levi, I know how you're feeling. But, you were there that day. We both were, the titans are gone. They died along with Eren." It still pained you to say it. Though in the end Eren was acting rash and out of hand, you still remembered him as the same young boy with hope in his heart that one day, the world would be a one without titans. It was a shame that he let it go to his head, and because of that, he was responsible for nearly exterminating all of humanity. Therefore, he had to face the consequences of his actions and pay the ultimate price. Poor kid...

"There are no trace of titans left. We're safe. You're safe. And you will never have to worry about stuff like that ever again." You bring his hands up and kiss them gently. Making sure he felt your love, even through his missing fingers. "And I won't ever leave your side. I'll always be here for you Levi. To care for you, to love you, for the rest of our lives."

A sudden wetness on your hands made you flinch. You look up to expecting to see rain, but instead, you saw Levi, crying. He sniffles a few times before leaning closer to you, until his head rested on your shoulder. You smiles and rub his back in a soothing manor. Through his sobs, you could make out a feint "thank you" from Levi.

You meant every word. You will always be there for him. And he in return would always be there for you. You two will always have each other, for the rest of your lives.

Another year has come to pass, Levi and Y/n had finally married, and proud to call themselves Mr and Mrs Ackerman. And Mrs Ackerman was expecting and due to deliver soon. There were congratulations given all around. From Armin, Jean, Connie, Annie, Reiner, even Falco and Gabi. Even Mikasa. It was a bit surprised that she came to visit. Mikasa had became distant ever since Eren died, she was the one that killed him after all. She had been by Eren side for many many years, and in the end, she was the one that put him to rest. It took quite a toll on her. But she was recovering, slowly but surely.

Y/n wished so desperately that Hanji and Erwin could have been here today. Though, she bet that Hanji would have been pretty sad without having anymore titans to experiment on. But deep down she knew, that they were still here, even if she couldn't see them. Levi knew it as well. They would both regularly visit their graves to pay respects and generally just talk about what's going on in their lives. Hanji would have been so thrilled to know that Levi and Y/n settled down to start a family. From the very beginning, Hanji had always hoped you two would get together. She even went as far as teasing her and Levi, which would normally result in a kick to the back from Levi. Not too hard though, he didn't want to break her spine. And Erwin, he would just be happy to see Levi happy with someone. And of course Levi's former squad would be happy that he was at peace with himself. They all would be so proud of him.

When it came time for Y/n to deliver, it was one of the most stressful and wonderful days of Levi's life. Fortunately, Y/n was just fine afterwards and gave birth to a healthy and beautiful little girl. She resembled Levi the most, with her black hair and her grey-blue eyes. She had some of Y/n's features as well, like her skin tone and her facial features.

"What should we name her?" Y/n spoke softly as she held her baby close. "We haven't came up with a name for her yet?" Levi mutters. They were spending more time preparing themselves for a new addition to their small family, that they hardly had time to think of one. Levi gently stroked his daughter's cheek, she gave a tiny smile in return before her face returned to a more sleepy one. It made Levi's heart race. This was his daughter, he made that! Well, really Y/n did, but it meant just as much to him. Never in his wildest dreams would he ever think that he would have children. Then again, he never thought he would meet someone like Y/n either. Levi's stone expression dropped, a smile of his own made it onto his face.

"Levi, I've actually had one in mind for a while. But, I wasn't sure if...you would be ok with it." Y/n spoke hesitantly. Levi held her hand, such a small gesture, made sure she knew she didn't have to keep anything from him. "I know how close you were to Farlan and Isabell." Levi's breathing halted for a second. "More specifically, how much Isabell looked up to you. I know she saw you as a brother, but...what I'm trying to say is, what if we named her, Isabell?" Y/n looked down at her baby, who was sleeping peacefully in her arms. It was true, Farlan and Isabell were like family to Levi, it was devastating the way they died. He wasn't there to help them, if he was, maybe they would be here today. He missed them dearly...

When Levi didn't respond, Y/n became worried. "I-I mean, we don't have to. I was just-"

"It's perfect." Levi cut her off. "Our little Isabell." He says with another warm smile. Y/n returned the smile before kissing her daughter's head. "Welcome to the world, Isabell." She whispers.

With this, Levi knew he was living for so much more. He had a woman who loved him with all her heart, despite how he looks now. And now, he had a child. Though this world was without titans, it doesn't mean there won't be another danger that was out there, just waiting to snatch his happiness away from him. But Levi wouldn't let it. Levi swore this very day, to protect his wife and daughter with everything he had. Despite injury, despite age, he would never let anything or anyone harm his family. Because for now on, it will be only them, together.

For the rest of their lives.

Ultimate Ship Meme: Azulaang

Rate the Ship -  

Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - Until I say so. I can see them being together after death as spirits.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Ooooh boy. Azula struggles to understand friendship. I think she'd fall in love fast and hard but take the longest to realize. Aang wouldn't let himself get attached at first because Azula is unapologetic and one of the things I like about Azulaang is how it would push Aang to deals with the nitty gritty gray, not in a The Fire Nation was right all along way but in how even Kyoshi and Roku's conflict resolution let to disagreements. I think it would take Aang longer to fall in but once they reach a semblance of common ground he'd be well aware he's falling in love and would enjoy the ride.

How was their first kiss? - Let's see my fanfics. In Blue it was awkward. In Weightless it was sweet. In Smut it was horny and hate filled. In canon I think their first kiss would be very passionate and then they snap back to reality and Aang would evade while Azula denies so they wouldn't talk about it but they'd for sure be thinking about the kiss.

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Technically Azula. As soon as Aang hears about a Fire Nation wedding, either his friends or he learns about Ozai and Ursa's wedding, his mind would be set on a wedding. He wouldn't say anything but he'd squirrel away relevant wedding information like he'd hear a song and go "I want that instrument to play at my wedding." But Azula would have her life planned out by other people and there'd be a set date where Ozai now Zuko are supposed to comb through suitor requests (it was probably Ursa's role. If she's there she'd talk to Azula directly instead of Lo and Li. I don't think Lo and Li are high enough rank to determine the suitor but I think it would be customary/expected for their input to be asked). Azula would tell Aang something along the lines of "I should be wed." and he'd agree and then Azula will spend an abnormally long time wondering if he married her because he liked her or because it's his duty until she asks him while he's discussing potential baby room colors pre wedding.

Who is the best man/men? - Sokka and Toph. Azula was going to pick Momo but he made a better flower girl. Yes she did this to annoy Zuko (and because Toph didnt want to wear the bridesmaid outfit) it's okay though Fire Lord Zuko was the guest of honor.

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - Katara, Suki, Mai, Ty Lee. Mai pretends she hates the outfit but she's secretly pleased.

Who did the most planning? - Aang did the most thinking but Azula did the most planning.

Who stressed the most? - Externally Aang. Internally Azula.

How fancy was the ceremony? -

Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

100% Azula's fault. Aang has no clue what Fire Nation weddings are supposed to be like.

Aang: Wow I can't believe all weddings in your Nation are this big.

Azula: They're not. It's because I'm Royalty and you're the Avatar.

Though I hc that Aang wants to get married in all the different Nations and Azula secretly wants to experience a small wedding so they get married 3 more times with one of them being a very small Air Nation wedding.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - Hmmm I'm not sure. On one hand, Ozai redemption. On the other hand, Ozai death.

Sex:

Who is on top? - Aang. Azula thinks she wants to be on top but she'd rather be pampered and Aang is more comfortable communicating and attending to needs. Aang has no strong preference either way and they do switch but this is their usual dynamic.

Who is the one to instigate things? - Azula but she denies it.

How healthy is their sex life? -

Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

I think it's up to the reader's preference but I can see them being very private (Azula) and naturally talented (Aang) to the point where they assume every couple has sex daily. Hc that Aang and Suki talk about sex freely (ex: When I do __ should I __ or do girls prefer ___? I can never tell with Azula. Why do guys do ___ after ____ ? I've tried asking Sokka but he doesn't give me a straight answer.) Much to the fear of Sokka and Azula.

How kinky are they? -

Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

Again up to the reader. They both like learning new things and are prodigies so I think they'd end up reading about things to try in bed (Azula) and would try things out to see what they like (Aang) until they learn what they and each other generally like/dislike.

How long do they normally last? - 

Does the Avatar State remove your refractory period? >;3c

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - No. Aang likes overstimulating.

How rough are they in bed? -

Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

Neither can dirty talk. Azula is rougher. Aang likes to take it slow. She sets the pace in the beginning but he decides when it ends.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? -

No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Azula refuses to cuddle in public but in return they cuddle all night.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - hc them having twin boys at first with one firebender and one airbender because poetry. But Azula really wants a girl so they have a third child she is an airbender with Aang's charm and knack for getting in trouble and Azula's ruthlessness. Amon kidnaps her and instead of easily escaping (Aang's genes) she instead viciously mocks him the way only a preteen can (Azula's genes.) It's traumatic enough for Amon even before the parents show up. Then Aang wants another one and Azula wants another firebender so they do the do and surprise triplets! (maybe it has to do with ejaculatimg in the Avatar State lol) So 6 in total and lets say its 3 boys 3 girls with 3 airbenders 3 firebenders.

How many children will they adopt? - None. Azula is wary of motherhood and I know people like to hc Aang as adopting and while I can see him acting as a father figure to several kids I think he'd greatly prefer biological kids especially airbenders. It's a flaw that was barely touched upon and def not handled well in Legend of Korra.

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Servants or Aang. After a kid or two Azula would be comfortable enough to change the diapers but it would still be mostly Aang.

Who is the stricter parent? - Depends on the kid. Aang is more lenient with airbenders and Azula with firebenders or girls. I can see Azula being strict with training & studies but not with sharing whereas Aang would have less rules but they'd be more heavily enforced (ex: no airgliding without supervision until you've mastered the safety course)

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Azula. She's pretty lenient with the term dangerous esp. when it comes to firebending as long as basic safety measures are applied (ex: you can pracrice lightning as long as it's not pointed towards yourself aka dont be Zuzu) but Aang is of the mindset "How are you gonna learn airbending without dangerous stunts?" And after the first few incidents she started stepping in.

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Azula but Aang cooks them.

Who is the more loved parent? - Appa

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? Azula. When Aang attends the teachers shower him and his kids with compliments ("You're doing so well teaching your kids the values of the Air Nomads. It must be so hard being The Last Airbender"). They do the same with Azula but unlike Aang she sees through it and manages to get an accurate assessment of how their kids are doing.

Who cried the most at graduation? - Aang was more happy than sad. Azula cried before and after.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Aang. He is a notorious lawbreaker. Azula would bail the kids and she could do so quicker than Aang in a few cases because of her connections but she'd be mad so their kids would rather call Aang or break themselves out.

Cooking: 

Who does the most cooking? - Tied. Aang at first but then Azula wants to learn and after Aang teaches her since she has less experience she finds more enjoyment in cooking.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - 

Technically Aang since he's a vegetarian. Azula hasn't tried as many foods and she's used to not making a fuss at the family dinner table to the point of which Aang notices.

Who does the grocery shopping? - Both. Aang has a better eye for vegetables/fruits and Azula is better with prices (it's not about the cost it's about the value).
