[ sfw ] — dad!bakugou ; bakugou katsuki x reader

The sight before you is almost too much for your heart to handle.

Your daughter, barely big enough to sit on her own without wobbling, is perched in the middle of the couch, her tiny hands resting on her chubby knees as she stares at the television with wide, unblinking eyes. Her mouth is slightly open in a perfect little ‘O’ shape, pure fascination written across her soft, round features. The flickering colors of the screen reflect in her curious gaze as the high-energy theme song of All Might: The Animated Adventures blasts through the speakers.

And right next to her, sitting in an eerily similar position, is Katsuki.

Your massive, intimidating husband—Pro Hero Dynamight himself—sits with his arms crossed, one ankle resting over his knee, eyes narrowed in deep concentration as he watches the cartoon just as intently as your daughter. His lips are pressed together in a thin line, his jaw clenched like he’s analyzing every frame, as if this children’s show is some kind of tactical training exercise. His red eyes gleam with an intensity that would make criminals tremble, but here? It’s just pure, unfiltered nerd energy.

The funniest part? They’re both completely serious about it.

Your daughter lets out an excited coo as the show picks up in action, her little hands clenching into fists as she bounces slightly in place. She babbles something incoherent, kicking her legs as she stares at the screen in awe.

And without missing a beat, Katsuki responds in a dead-serious tone, nodding slightly like he actually understands her, “Yeah, I know, kid. Next fight scene’s gonna be even cooler. I’ve watched this season, like, five fuckin’ times.”

You nearly choke on your laughter.

Katsuki doesn’t even glance your way; he’s too invested in the episode. His hand absentmindedly reaches out to rest on your daughter’s head, ruffling her soft hair as if she were one of his sidekicks, and she giggles in response, still glued to the screen. She looks so much like him in that moment—eyes blown wide, completely mesmerized by the action unfolding before her.

And really, it makes perfect sense. Of course she loves All Might cartoons. Of course she inherited her father’s nerdy obsession with heroes. She’s his daughter, through and through.

Your chest swells with warmth as you lean against the doorway, watching the two of them in their own little world.

“You two are ridiculous,” you tease, folding your arms as you shake your head.

Katsuki finally tears his eyes from the screen, tilting his head just enough to glare at you, though there’s no real heat behind it. “What’s ridiculous is that you ain’t joinin’ us.” He jerks his chin toward the couch, a wordless demand for you to come sit with them. “You know this shit’s good.”

Your daughter lets out another enthusiastic babble, waving her arms wildly, as if she’s backing him up.

You huff out a soft laugh, but there’s no resisting them—not when they both look so damn cute. You cross the room and plop down beside them, and the moment you do, Katsuki grumbles something under his breath before reaching over and yanking you closer, pulling you against his side with one strong arm.

“There,” he mutters gruffly. “Now we’re all watchin’ together.”

His hand stays firm on your thigh, thumb absentmindedly rubbing slow circles into your skin. It’s second nature for him—always touching, always holding, always pulling you close.

Your daughter claps her hands, seemingly thrilled by the turn of events, and then immediately turns her attention back to the screen as the fight scene begins.

And for the next few minutes, the living room is filled with nothing but the sound of over-the-top battle cries, explosions (animated ones, for once), and dramatic background music.

Katsuki grunts approvingly as the hero on screen lands a well-animated punch. Your daughter squeals in delight.

You can’t help but smile.

They really are your cute little nerds.

Wincest Wednesday!

So we know that Dean is a romantic, likes to kiss and hold hands, wants to be charming, likes it sweet.

SO, how would he go about wooing or treating Sam, not necessarily in the initial stages of their relationship, but after, for special occasions or to try to bring some extra romance to the bedroom or their daily lives.

OR

What are little romantic things he would like Sam to do for him, even if he doesn't ever work up to asking?

Thank you ^_^

Happy wincest wednesday Audie!! This is such a lovely question thank you<3

Generally I think Dean is big on acts of service so whenever he wants to woo Sam he’d make all his favorite foods, even the ones he hates. When it comes to more romantic things, I see Dean flirting his way through hunts and research. Sam would be at the table working through his third book while Dean leans on him or across his lap to “read” with him. Sometimes he’ll catch something in the lore he can make a flirty joke out of. Once Dean gets more confident in their relationship he’d look for hunts where they can pretend to be a couple or would generally require them to be more affectionate.

Sam’s a nerd as we know so anytime he makes a comment about something unfamiliar that seems interesting or fun (food, a sex thing, a weapon etc.) Dean catalogues it and finds a way to get, make or do what Sam wants but it’s always a while later when Sam doesn’t expect it. it always leads to very good sex<3 More down the line when Dean’s comfortable, he would find hunts or events that need him to dress him up which usually means more feminine. Sam wants to devour him every time he does this. Dean also starts using some of Sam’s shower/hair products and wears his clothes more so he smells like Sam at least a little all the time.

Things Dean would want include kisses, like, all the time. Dean’s dream is getting kisses everytime he makes Sam smile or happy or when Dean does something well. He wants reward kisses! He never says that though. Sam doesn’t quite do that but he would surprise kiss Dean often, just whenever he looks at Dean and can’t contain it. Little cheek kiss before he goes to shower, deep gentle kiss when Dean’s cooking in his apron, and so on.

Dean craves Sam’s touch constantly. If he could have it his way, they would always be holding hands, or brushing against each other, or (Dean’s favorite) Sam’s hand on the small of Dean’s back. He wants it casually and all the time. Occasionally Sam will rest his hand on Dean’s thigh when Dean’s driving and Dean loves it. Dean definitely would struggle to admit this but one of his favorite spots is on Sam’s lap. It just feels so warm and safe and right. Also food is a big one for Dean and Sam knows this. Gifting him his favorite foods will warm his entire chest every time<3 I could keep going on and on about all the ways Dean and Sam would want in their relationship/romance but sadly my break is over so enjoy this for now!

I went to a book fair and passed some girls. One of them told her friends something like that she had watched an anime where you don't have to like football to like an anime about football.

I stopped and asked "Blue Lock"?

She confirmed.

And I walked away.

Why am I like this?

[akkivee]

some stuff that made me happy reading this event lol

this other temple was putting on a parade for nagoya and asked for kuukou’s help putting it on bc none of the direct lineage wanted to

kuukou called out it’s bc it’s too teemed in tradition to garner interest in the youth and vowed to rework the entire concession lol

so kuukou’s tengu costume is kuukou’s design sense 😌😌😌

upon accepting the role as tengu, kuukou proceeded to basically larp around nagoya as a tengu, even outside of wearing the outfit lmao

like tengu are usually known to defeat demons and the antagonists in this event wore demon masks so kuukou tended to say that bc he’s a tengu, he’s gotta rid the town of demons LOL

doppo got his briefcase stolen by the group of demon masked delinquents determined to ruin the parade and had one of his depressive episodes about it in front of kuukou, but since kuukou doesn’t really know doppo that well he hesitated whether or not he can just slap him out of it like he would have with say, jyushi in vkei mode lol

kuukou: *upon seeing doppo’s done with the self-flagellation* well welcome back to the mundane world after your little trip to the spirit world. you good now??

saburo is prickly no matter who he’s with outside of ichiro lol, but it was kinda fascinating to see him greet kuukou fairly neutrally lol

they eventually found the demon masked delinquents and kuukou threw a shop sign at them to stop them from running away. kuukou laughingly said it must’ve been fate that he was able to knock two birds with one stone and he’s the worst 💜💜💜

bc the delinquents were terrified of kuukou upon realising who attacked them, kuukou was able to tell not only that they were locals, but that the head of their little group was actually the son of the temple head who asked him to precede over the parade

said son had been excommunicated from the buddhist community, likely for his garbage behaviour, and his father expressed jealousy that shakku had such a dutiful son to inherit his temple

kuukou, in order to protect the parade, created the grand master plan of letting the parade run as he intended, but to create a spectacle out the tengu (him) ridding the town of demons (beating up the delinquent son LOL)

y’all do not understand the amount of glee kuukou had getting to chase down that delinquent for all of nagoya to see LMAO

samatoki had two roles in this event; to tease his fans that he wore a suit to a wedding but you don’t get to see it (arb🤝hypdream) and to choke the life out of the delinquent for rudely bumping into him 😌

sasara had two roles in this event; to take samatoki out (on a date) to this vintage clothing store he once covered on a show, and to give his condolences to the fool who bumped into the yakuza with no remorse 😌

before samatoki could kill do further damage to the delinquent lol, kuukou swooped in, chiding samatoki for nearly swiping his prey and threw his sandal at the delinquent, knocking him out instantly lmao

samatoki: fcking btch, getting knocked out by a clog 😒

and so the scene the citizens of nagoya walked in on was the delinquent laid out bleeding (it was paint lmao) surrounded by the tengu and these two other guys and normally that would be cause of concern lmao but it a good thing saburo and doppo took on the role of crowd control and told the people ‘wow!!!! look at how heroic our tengu was!!!!!’

they were our kuukou glazers basically LOL (god i wish that were me)

The first issue of Justice League International Special was published with a cover date of February 1990. This issue was created by the regular team that was making Mr Miracle at the time and basically is a story between Mr Miracle (vol 2) 12 and 13. ("The Show Must Go On... and on... and on... and on", Justice League International 1, DC Comic Event)

Chapter 95 - End of the Beginning, Beginning of the End

I know this is a porn blog and all but it's so hard to like. explain to people what Dave Mirra meant to the BMX community

[the-acid-pear]

I need to draw Midori on my knees sobbing I miss my daughter chat

[broughttoyoubytheletterf]

Liv was so happy at the end of season 14. Just like content and happy with her career and Brian and finally past Elliot and just happy.

That scene at the beginning of Her Negotiation with her on the couch... Just carefree in a way I don't think we've seen since. It's a testament to Mariska's acting really. Olivia carries a weight now, even when she's happy. Her job was harrowing and she'd seen the world at it's worst but she could still completely compartmentalize. She lost that after Lewis, never again would rapists and murderers and abusers stay partitioned in her mind.

(Also it must be said she's fucking hot as hell in that white shirt and black leggings when she's first interrogating Lewis.)

In that scene when she fully meets Lewis' eyes for the first time, you can see the ice run down her spine. That might actually be the exact moment she became "after-Olivia."

[elaeomyxa]

Also on an ATSV note…

I'm like. Notoriously bad at recognizing unreliable narrators and the likes so I don't really have much place to talk, but like. I thought we all sort of agreed that "canon events" were bullshit, right?

Like the only proof we get is a vague personal anecdote (that could possibly be chalked up to the proven issues with dimensional travel) and something that happened immediately after a super-collider went off (which also has been established to have similar reality-fucking effects). Plus, the time frames are incredibly dissimilar- we can assume that Miguel had at least a few days with his wife and kid before the universe started tearing itself apart; meanwhile, Pavitr's dimension apparently goes to hell in a matter of minutes after a cop lives. And double meanwhile, we've been shown at least three universes (Gwen's and both of the Mileses') with averted canon events that are, at the very least, taking a enough time longer than Pavitr's to collapse to prove that the latter's was something other than broken canon.

Additionally, the apparently set in stone issue of glitching is able to be fixed with a wristband without tearing apart universes, so what would make broken canon that much different and unfixable?

How do you take a photo of time?

I've been watching the track events at the Olympics since I was a wee lad. It was a tradition in our family. We'd gather around our ancient low-definition 19 inch CRT television and watch tiny blobs compete against other tiny blobs and root for our country.

It was a bit like watching YouTube on your phone in 144p.

Several heroes emerged.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee was amazing.

You can't forget about Flo-Jo.

And then the Olympics decided NBA players were allowed in the competition.

Which formed... The Dream Team.

Was this fair?

Well... they won each game by an average of 44 points.

So... no. It was not fair.

Though it became more fair as time went on.

But, umm... yeah. The other teams looked like the Washington Generals and the US looked like the Harlem Globetrotters if they stopped screwing around half of the game.

But my absolute favorite Olympian was a runner named Michael Johnson.

He was cool as heck.

For one thing... gold shoes.

But he also had this crazy, upright, Tom Cruise-ish sprinting style that just made him look like a running robot on the track.

And in the 1996 Atlanta games he just trounced EVERYONE. I mean, it wasn't even close.

Yikes. Those losing blobs are probably really embarrassed.

Last night I decided to invigorate my nostalgia and watch the track events again. And I got to see one of the wildest races in history.

It didn't even last 10 seconds but it was one of the most exciting sporting events I've ever witnessed. Almost every runner won the race.

After I saw that initially, I was like... who the heck won???

Even in slow motion I wasn't sure.

This was one of the closest finishes in history. There has never been a race where all 8 runners were within this margin.

The arena was silent as the winner was being confirmed. The runners just kind of paced around waiting for official word. My best guess was the Jamaican runner, Kishane Thompson. But then the loudspeaker announced Noah Lyles.

The last tiny morsel of American pride burst out of me with a big "Wooooo!"

I forgot what it was like to be proud of my country. I wish it happened more often. But this young man, despite being last place in the first 3rd of the race, turned on the afterburners and won in a photo finish.

And that's when my inner nerd took over.

Because when they showed the photo finish image, it looked super weird.

Why is the track white?

Why do all of the runners look all warpy like that QWOP game?

So I went down a research rabbit hole to figure this out.

Photo finishes are actually fascinating. The first photo finish captured the end of a horse race in 1890. But that was mostly luck and timing. The actual photo finish mechanisms weren't used until 1937.

Originally they would film the finish line through a physical slit.

And the first horsie head that appeared in that slit would be the winner. This technology ended a huge aspect of corruption in horse race fixing almost overnight.

But we have come a long way since then. And I'd like to introduce you to the Omega Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate.

This slow motion camera sits fixed on the finish line of every race. The concept of the photo finish has remained remarkably similar to the 1930s approach. The camera sensor is specially designed to only record a vertical slit.

Only the finish line itself is actually captured.

And because it limits what it records to only that slit, it can capture 40,000 frames per second to get amazing temporal resolution.

So why don't the photo finishes just look like, well... this?

That is because the camera takes a picture of time more-so than dimensional space. I guess it would be more accurate to say it *assembles* a picture of time.

As the runners cross the finish line, the camera combines all of the little strips of pictures into a single image.

It's almost like if you tried to reassemble a piece of paper after it had been shredded.

Imagine each strip of paper is a picture of ONLY the finish line, just at a slightly different point in time.

What if someone stopped on the finish line and didn't move... what would that look like?

Once they got there, the same part of their body would just be repeated.

So the right side of the photo finish picture represents earlier in time and it just assembles the image strip by strip as time passes and you literally get a picture of time itself.

NEAT!

Okay, but how do they determine the winner from the photo finish?

I mean, that shoe looks like it is ahead of Noah Lyles!

Clavicles!

The IAFF rules state the foremost part of the torso must cross the finish line first. And the endpoint of the torso is the outer end of the clavicle.

So if you get this bone across the finish line first, you win the race.

Two more fun facts!

The start of the race is actually just as carefully timed as the end of the race. There are sensors in the starting blocks of each runner.

The starting gun also has an electronic sensor.

They have determined the fastest a human can react to the sound of a gun is roughly 100 milliseconds. So if you start running before 100 milliseconds they know you didn't actually hear the gun, you just got antsy and started running too early.

And the final fun fact...

Did you notice the Omega logo at the top of the photo finish?

That isn't superimposed or added after the fact. That is captured by the camera.

But if this image is composed only of tiny little slivers, how did they get the Omega logo to show up?

That is a little display. And it is synchronized with the Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate to show a little sliver of the Omega logo for each frame captured.

So when the final image is stitched together, it looks like a cohesive logo at the top of the photo.

Pretty clever, Omega!

Big Shark premiered on April 2, 2023. It was the first full-length feature film to be written and directed by Tommy Wiseau since his cult film The Room (2003). When New Orleans was flooded, three firefighters Patrick (Wiseau), Tim (Isaiah Laborde), and Georgie (Mark Valeriano) attempted to save the residents from a 35-foot shark that has been washed in. ("Big Shark", Movie Event)

[foldingfittedsheets]

It started with cantrips, which is why it took people a while to notice. The first few events were people on the news talking about how they’d been needing a light and then suddenly they’d waved a hand and said words and there was light. No one really believed them but as more reports were verified suddenly more people came forward with even less believable stories of what everyone really didn’t want to call magic. Even though it was pretty obviously magic. Spectral floating hands grabbing things that were out of reach, whispered messages that reached their friend seated too far away to hear them.

An EMT who whispered a word and suddenly saved a dying man.

Then the darker stories started filtering in. 

Words spoken in anger causing explosions. Poison spewing forth from a hand gesture. One person gave a retort so witty that someone was hospitalized. 

Everyone was scared, but the nerds started to figure it out fastest. It sure wasn’t the scientists who were doing the equivalent of crying on the floor in the fetal position in their respective labs while reports poured in globally of these occurrences. A growing movement online started spreading lists. They had all the blessings people might have gotten and regardless of how many people scoffed no one could really deny that every instance of magic correlated to a website listing the cantrips in Dungeons and Dragons. People pooled their collective resources to help quantify what was happening and facts started to emerge.

Everybody got one. You had to be at least thirteen to use the magic. That pretty much summed up the only other common denominators. Otherwise it seemed completely random, the magic didn’t line up with any existing character traits. You just unlocked one piece of magic each. People with aggressive cantrips were almost loaded up into camps for suddenly being so dangerous- however many hit points real humans had it was apparently not a big number. A lot more deaths occurred than anyone could feasibly track and the global population panicked.

The legislation for the camps got struck down. There were riots and confusion and for a while everything was pretty chaotic. Firebolts and Eldritch Blasts went off from sheer exuberance as much as anything else. Amidst the rioting were people just living their lives, not using their cantrips. It took a while for things to settle down, but humans can get used to most anything if given enough time.

Almost everybody scanned the list to figure out which they got, but someone with Chill Touch just enjoyed frostier beverages than most even if it made you think about death more to drink something after the skeleton hand had been wrapped around it. At least it looked cool. Most people didn’t really do anything other than play around. A youtuber who had gotten Shape Water suddenly surged in popularity as she pivoted her channel to creating beautiful patterns with colored water. Other online personalities quickly followed and those with combat focused magic set up backyard target practice to show off. Some fires resulted as well as numerous noise complaints and a law was passed limiting where people could practice magic. It was virtually unenforceable but the people in charge were trying to keep a grip on the situation.

Noticeably the largest subset of the population that used their magic were those who had gotten Spare the Dying. Every government turned out the call that such individuals would receive a generous stipend for taking to the hospitals and stabilizing the sick and injured. Death rates dropped substantially, but it was still only a cantrip. Cancer marched on, but many got to live after miraculous recoveries.

Months passed and things started to become a little more normal. There were still debates about what had caused it and how to regulate magic but day to day life settled down. Speculations over what the long term ramifications would be continued as well as why those cantrips. Wizards of the Coast refused to comment for the first six months, closing its doors to the rioting and keeping them closed. At the end of six months they abruptly published a new line of cantrip cards with all kinds of utility and no combat usage whatsoever. The internet exploded and the government wasn’t pleased, but nothing happened. No one got any new magic. People wondered if those under thirteen would manifest the new stuff, but no one did. They just blew out their thirteenth birthday candles and got handed a cantrip like everyone else. 

A year later a mechanic in rural Canada was peering into the engine of a busted car. He realized he needed some lubricant and instead of reaching for his can he waved a hand and splattered the car with Grease that had burst from his hand. He was a calm sort of fellow so he called up the local news and said there was more magic. They asked first what cantrip he had- folks who received Prestidigitation had made a number of false alarms on receiving additional magic. The mechanic told them his cantrip was Infestation which he’d never had cause to use after figuring it out. 

The press descended and demanded a demonstration. Most people had read up on the basic rules of magic at that point, so everyone understood when the mechanic said they’d have to wait until the next day. A media storm went up the next day with headlines blaring that first level magic had been unlocked after the passing of the lunar new year. 

A wide contingent had been waiting for this opportunity. The spell list went out again amidst less panic but more chaos. There was a rash of identity thefts no could trace and eventually people realized Disguise Self posed a significant challenge to daily life. Celebrities had trouble convincing people they were who they said as random citizens took their faces on numerous joyrides. A scandal broke when it turned out an A list actor had hired someone else to play them while they went on vacation but the details were kept very hush hush.

Hospitals called out desperately for anyone with healing magic and most of those blessed with Cure Wounds and Healing Word answered. People with Goodberry formed community food kitchens and for the first time it seemed like hunger could actually be eliminated. Veterinary offices and zoos made special positions for those who could cast Animal Friendship and Speak with Animals.

A celebrity chef hit the jackpot with Purify Food and Drink and made a whole spinoff series where she went dumpster diving and made five star meals out of rotting leftovers. Several people changed careers entirely to lend their services to study ancient texts with Comprehend Languages. Even one hour a day led to huge leaps in discovery and understanding of ancient civilizations. 

A small murmur of worry followed the new influx of skills and power. What would happen when more magic was unlocked? The amount of people now running around with dangerous combat spells was even greater than before. Would people have to worry about necromancy? New crimes were being invented faster than laws could keep up as magic was put to novel and interesting uses. 

A year passed and everyone waited with bated breath for the lunar new year, but nothing happened. 

But I’m pretty sure I figured it out. We got handed cantrips. And we waited a year for first level spells. I’m pretty sure it’s one more year, and then things will really start to get interesting.

Inspired by this poll. If you enjoyed my writing consider leaving a tip on my Ko-fi!

was-

was x-men 97 on some sort of challenge to cover as many landmark x-events as possible??

it's only been 10 episodes and they've covered at least 6 of the most well-known TPBs
