Gentle Hands

Request: Hey there! I love your writing so much and I was wondering if you could have some Johnny MacTavish brainrot with me. Johnny comes home from a looooong deployment and he wants to do nothing but collapse on the bed or couch. Until he sees our dear reader, cuddled up in their bed with one of his shirts on a pillow she’s cuddling. He can smell his cologne on the fabric and…whatever happens after that is up to you!

Pairing: Johnny ‘Soap’ MacTavish x Reader

Genre: Fluff (You deserve it after the marathon of angst I've been feeding you)

"You're sore?" She asks, taking a second to look him over slowly, and goddamn if it doesn't make him shiver.

"Nothing a few days with my girl won't fix." He says, trying to lean up again, groaning when she leans back out of reach. "Bonnie, your killin' me-"

A/N: The way I scrambled to write this the second I could, there's always time for Soap brainrot in this household

Masterlist

Sometimes he thinks the pinging of bullets ricocheting off of metal follows him out of the battlefield. It's the only explanation for the ever present tension in his shoulder after a long gruelling mission.

Soap sighs, stretching out a shoulder while he digs his house keys out from his duffel bag. The keys feel cool and foreign against his fingers as he clumsily slots them in a turns the lock.

It's been nine weeks since he's unlocked his front door.

Haphazardly pushing off his shoes in the entryway, he throws his bag onto the floor and peers farther into the house. Despite his exhaustion, a smile finds itself on his face at the prospect of seeing her again.

God, he misses her. It was difficult to contact anyone outside of his team when on a mission, even moreso when they were black. The fear of their lines being tapped and tracked is very real, and Soap would rather wait a few weeks to see her than compromise her safety and theirs by allowing himself one fleeting moment with her.

"Bonnie? You there?" He calls out, stepping into the kitchen. Empty. He fights the urge to collapse onto the couch when he checks the living room, the lack of sleep catching up on him.

He's surprised he's still standing, honestly. The OP he'd been on had been in a far mountain range, a lot of trekking and camping out in the middle of a humid, highly vegetated area. Visibility had been rough and they'd taken turns sleeping a couple of hours before they continues trekking towards the enemy safehouse they were aiming to ambush.

He hadn't been able to sleep on the chopper back either, buzzing with the knowledge that he'd finally see her again after months and months.

A damn real bed seemed like heaven after resting on a rough muddy floor for weeks.  

It was the middle of the day, but she was nowhere in the house. Not in her favourite armchair by the fireplace, nor in the garage or any of the bathrooms. He frowns a little. She could be out, then?

It's not until Soap pushes open the door to their bedroom that the next call of her name dies in his throat immediately.

His hand slips off the doorknob, hangs by his side as he takes in the sight, a soft grin on his lips.

There she was, sound asleep, arms cuddled around a pillow that had one of his t-shirts stretched around it. She looked so peaceful, face half obscured by the way she'd nuzzled into the fabric.

Letting out a breathy chuckle, he tries to make minimal noise as he shucks off his shirt and sits on the bed next to her.

Huffing under his breath, he gently tugs the pillow out of her grasp, slides in next to her, adjusting himself until her face is tucked into his neck, not any different from how she was with that pillow.

As if on instinct, her body relaxes, sinking into him and curling closer.

Bliss.

Utter bliss.

A deep, satisfied rumble in his chest as he relaxes, holding the woman he loves so much in their room, their bed, with clean sheets and a heart full of love, is what prompts her to wake up.

With a small groan, she makes a move to pull what she thinks is her pillow closer, but what she grabs isn't a feather-filled soft cushion.

Hard muscle meets her palm, strong and familiar.

"Pawin' at me already, hen?" The deep, tired voice in her ear has a pleased shiver running down her spine, and her eyes fluttering open quickly. "I barely made it through the door."

"Johnny?" She mumbles, eyes widening as the hand around her waist tightens in response. "Johnny!" She pushes herself up on her knees in surprise.

Sure enough, laying right in front of her was the man in the flesh, smiling up lazily, satisfied with her reaction. With a happy squeal, she lunges forward, hugging him tightly. She giggles when he catches her by the waist, sighing into her shoulder and clutching her body to his tightly.

He lets her straddle his waist, looking down at him like she couldn't quite believe it. Her hands roam over his chest as if to assure herself that he was there, actually under her, that he was home.

They lock eyes for a moment, and neither of them knows who moves first but they pull each other into a hard kiss, moving against each other with a practiced familiar ease.

"Missed you," She mumbles against his lips as he runs a hand through her hair. He hums, lets her pull away and cup his jaw. "Missed you so damn much, Johnny."

"I know, baby. Seem like ya had my spot covered though." He grins teasingly, stroking her hair and nodding to the shirt-clad pillow on the ground.

The way she goes red is adorable.

"I told you I missed you." She mumbles. "It just...it still smelled like you, helps me when I miss you more than usual, you know?" She admits. A small pang of sadness hits him at the knowledge that she missed him enough to resort to this...makeshift Soap?

"I missed you too. This is one hell of a welcome." He smiles up at her, squeezing her waist.

She shakes her head but can't chase away the smile on her face. He was home. Johnny, her Johnny.

"Stay around and there'll be much more of that." She teases.

"Minx." He groans, propping himself up on his elbows to bring her into another kiss. As he's doing so, the ache in his shoulder tightens and he winces, a movement not missed by her. She stops him with a hand on his chest.

"You're sore?" She asks, taking a second to look him over slowly, and goddamn if it doesn't make him shiver.

"Nothing a few days with my girl won't fix." He says, trying to lean up again, groaning when she leans back out of reach. "Bonnie, your killin' me-"

"You look like shit, Johnny." She says bluntly, watching him pause to gape at her in mock offense. "You need to rest tonight, okay? Let me take care of you." Much to his dismay, she slides off of him, prods at his shoulder ordering him to flip over.

Too tired to argue, he turns onto his stomach with minimal protest.

Soap truthfully does look like hell; tired, dark circles lining his eyes, but the desire to have her close in any way he can clouds any and all other thoughts. "You know I love ya on top of me, but might I ask what you're doing?"

Johnny presses his cheek to the cool pillow to glance over at her curiously. He watches her straddle his back, her weight tearing a small sigh out of him, his aching muscles relaxing under the soothing weight.

"Nine weeks haven't taken your voice away yet, I see." She rolls her eyes, hands travelling up his bare back to his shoulders. Her eyes linger on those strong muscles she's felt countless times under her hands, her nails, her mouth...

"It takes more than that. Besides, ya love my voice-" She chooses that moment to press into one of the tight knots in his back, red flushing up her neck at the deep, surprised groan Johnny cuts his sentence off with. His head drops into the pillow, his back going up and down with a deep breath.  

Love his voice she does. She certainly does.

Her hands knead at the tension in his back, his shoulders, working out the knots built from weeks of stress.

Here. This moment right here. It makes the weeks of loneliness worth it. Days spent without him, waking up to an empty cold bed with only the remnants of his belongings scattered around the house to occupy her thoughts. It was all worth it when she got to feel the warm press of his skin against hers, when she got to welcome him back like this and spend the rest of her days with him.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder, as they claim.

Her lips press gentle kisses down his spine as she works, soft presses that convey more love than she could ever verbalise.

"I fucking love you." He breathes. Goosebumps flash across his skin when she smiles, kissing the back of his neck. It warms her from the inside out.

"I love you too." She responds quietly, resuming her work. She kisses every mark, every freckle, and blemish, replacing every memory of harsh shoves and painful encounters with a gentle, loving touch. It reminds him that through the horrors he saw every time he strapped his gear on, there would always be people as good as her in the world. Untouched by darkness and willing to love someone like him, someone with so much damn blood on his hands.

Seemingly satisfied by her assurance, he relaxes, relishing the press of her hands against him. The room falls into a comfortable silence, mostly because he's too tired and blissed out to fill it with his usual chatter. A couple of minutes later, he's putty under her hands, languid and relaxed, his shoulders devoid of the tension he came in with.

It's only when his back rises and falls, deep and steady that she slides off of him.

He's fallen asleep, she notes with a smile. At ease, he's a sight to behold. She pulls the warm blanket over both their forms, shuffling close to him.

Johnny's arm comes around her, pulling her close instinctually. His soft mumble is incoherent.

He sought out her nearness, even when unconscious.

The press of his body is familiar, so achingly familiar. The steady beat of his heart and the warmth of his body lull her to sleep, comfortable and relieved.

She drifts off knowing that the next time she woke up it would be in his arms. Loved, protected, and cherished.

Hey there brook! I hope u having a nice day! Can I ask for a luffy x heroic fem reader headcanon? by heroic I mean that she completely dedicated her life to help and save ppl and that her purpose in life, she's strong and seems cold but when u get to know her she has empathy more than anyone else, I feel like this is the perfect character that luffy would fall in love with, pure kindness hiding behind a tough facade, she doesn't even like being called a hero, yet she is willing to do anything for those in need, slaves, poor villages, she goes against anything unjust without any fear, cause thats her purpose in life (sorry if that was too long 💀)

Hi anon <33 (it makes me so happy that someone finally addressed me as that💗)

today was a very chill day 😊 thank you! How’s yours?

Reader sounds so genuine with such a good background for a op character!!

(Don’t worry it’s not too long—I love to read:3)

Ngl luffy subconsciously sees a little bit of himself in you!!

like your hearts are so similar—gold!

of course he doesn’t directly think that way- but he feels the connection!

which is through helping!

you two never turn your backs on those who have never wronged you

its not even about if they’re on your side or not, as long as they haven’t wrong you? and they need help?

the both of you are on it 🤜🤛👍

you wanting to save others becomes admirable to more than just him, to all of the straw hats—chopper and usopp especially!

I’m gonna go ahead and say it here and now you remind both Jinbe and luffy of whitebeard and fishman island type thing

LIKE THAT’S HOW IT IS!!

Y/n is just her tbh 🤷‍♀️

and if the ops don’t like that? 🤨

🤜💥

how you like that? >:)

your strength may or may not be hereditary but either way if you don’t continue training or working out your gonna loose that strength eventually

which shows just how hard you train everyday!!

bro works harder than zoro 🗿

and we all know he don’t sleep on workin out

so y/n is a gorilla the og

its no wonder you be cookin the ops like breakfast👩‍🍳👍

this is literally turning into a rant about me being (name)’s biggest fan ok let’s move on

luffy saw you cold exterior and was like

😍😍😘🥰😘💍💋💋💋

LOLOLOL no but fr he looked straight past that

he always does- he ignored law’s and zoro’s why wouldn’t he with you-

and once he sees your true kindness???

Locked in like a booty hole 🔗

(ANYWAY I HAD TO🧍‍♀️)

yeah he pretty much busts right through that

he pretty much instantly demands you already are is nakama after that

Your empathy is what really swoops him off his feet tho

like luffy has a good sense of empathy so much so he can hear the voice of all things

and you probably can too! It’s highly likely!

(y/n could have her own anime at this point 🤷‍♀️😚)

But seriously the way he can just feel the way you long for others when they’re in pain just gets him right at the heartstrings you know?! 🥺❤️‍🩹

you comfort them so assuredly and keep your promise to win every time !!

luffy would admire himself more than he would know if he realized how alike the two of you are

tbh you probably admire luffy!!

like it’s a mutual thing, where you pretty much don’t see your own coolness you only see the other’s

so you admire each other unaware that your the same 😂💗

he absolutely adores and admires that empathetic part of you thoo!

he loves how your kind and tough

he wholeheartedly believes the strong should protect the weak, cuz that’s what a man does.

especially with nakama.

so he definitely understands your need to protect those who can’t do it for themselves

there are many times he can recall where he had to rely on others

so he loves that your the one who does that for people

and you don’t do it for the money or fame!

you don’t even view yourself as the hero and savior that bystanders see you as!

that’s so cool to him!

you background/past might’ve caused it! Like maybe you had no superhero! So you decided to become one!

he kinda looks up to you in a way 🤩

as someone who has also helped slaves and the poor he completely understands where you come from in your kindness

and it’s even cooler that you charge head on into battle for others without a second thought

that’s just how tough you are ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

not an ounce of fear in your eyes as you walk up to someone 20x the size of you to simply get back the bread they stole from a poor little child

LIKE HOW COOL IS THAT?! 💥💥

your a super hero!! Dundun duh-duuuuuun!!

🦸‍♀️‼️🤩

you have a goal just like him!! He wants to be the king of pirates and you wanna help others!

With the type of pirate he is?, those things go hand in hand 🤝

”STRAW HAT LUFFY AND PIRATE HERO (NAME) IS HERE!! RUN AWAY!!”

says the pirates who know they’ve done wrong doing!! 😎

also excuse (name)’s lame pirate alias i couldn’t think of one 😊💖

(Name) is so cool 😎 I admire her 💓

hope you enjoyed your hcs anon!! *super heroes away🦸‍♀️🚀*

[hisokamywaifu]

Hisoka relationship hcs (sfw)

Somehow I haven't really written hcs before but here we go

Also first non smut post wtf am I doing with my life??

Warnings: probably cursing but idrk, no outright smut but a couple sexual phrases i guess, Hisoka is a warning in and of himself

~~~

This man

idk how to start this but

You'd definitely have a cat together (sorry if you're allergic 😐)

He's such a cat person, and I feel like when you're chilling at home he'll just look at it 👀 for like hours until it gets a little freaked out and hides from him

he might challenge it to a fight...since that's how he is (you'll have to make sure he doesn't get bored and kill it 😬)

But he'll be great at playing w it tho, he'll set up elaborate hunts and things for it so it's never bored

The poor creature will be a lil bit traumatized but at least it'll get its exercise in 💀

anyway, away from the subject of cats

Unlike what many people believe, I don't think you have to be op and a amazing fighter to get him to be attracted to you

Actually I think he's even more intrigued when he notices someone for reasons other than their fighting abilities

He wants to know more

He's definitely very physical, he's always finding one way or another to be touching you, whether in public or alone

And this is the kind of relationship that is mutually yandere

He will not hesitate to kill anyone he deems as 'too close' to you, and if you do the same, it's a major turn on for him

He's always with you, 24/7 (but if you need some space he's fine with roaming for a while, he might disappear for a few weeks but he doesn't get offended that you need your space)

OH AND THIS MAN

Whenever he wants your attention, or he wants to be closer to you

h-he

he will

p-pull you towards him with his bungee gum 🤭

And don't let him find out you're into it or else he'll start doing it ALL. THE . TimE.

Oh, and when he's fighting? He KNOWS when you're watching. He'll make sure to save the dramatic finish for when you're paying attention.

And then he winks or bows or something at the end to make you laugh which makes his grin widen

this guy

everyone thinks you're insane for dating him but the insanity is what makes you a perfect match for him

Also, he would be into all different kinds of music

so whatever you like, he enjoys too

You can bop with him to all your favorite songs, and just have the best time fooling around with him

You probably don't spend much time in each place, due to Hisoka's...lifestyle? So there may be a lot of moving involved

But anything you wanna try w him in cool new locations, he's willing and eager to do it all with you

He takes you out for manicures and gets matching nails with you every so often

Pull his hair. Trust me. Just do it.

Sometimes he makes you mad on purpose to get you to scold him because thats just the hottest thing ever to him

Since he's so clingy and touch starved he will force you to cuddle with him

But it's okay because he's weirdly comfortable

He will flex in front of you just to see you drool over his muscles

and he's flexible, so he stretches and watches your reaction too

lmao and cooking

This could go either way

He's either the best cook ever without trying, or he has never tried and never will

And this guy is the sassiest bitch ever

He is always snarking at the worst times

And if you guys are across the room from each other you have silent conversations with your eyes just knowing exactly what the other is thinking

No matter how far into this relationship you are, he will never stop flirting with you shamelessly

He switches between big spoon and little spoon, but is always so cuddly and cozy

And if you're even half the amount of clingy that he is, he's over the moon

He absolutely loves whenever you initiate contact

OOOO and carnival dates (I have to lean into the aesthetic here) but he's the best bf for those ever

Overall, he's just the most amazing person ever

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Woah first non smut piece of writing eVeR

I love Hisoka so fucking much. He's probably my favorite of my 100+ anime boyfies (I have a list)

Anyway, if you liked these hcs, feel free to request other ones! I'm taking a break from full fics for a while because writers block is a bitch, but I'm gonna try out headcannons for a while

[tonythr]

Sometimes you are so sad you turn into a game construct, and that's ok

Part of the reason I love Hollow Knight is that you never know when a certain phenomenon is a part of the game's actual lore or simply a gameplay convenience, but most of the time it's up to you to decide anyway. Like, yeah, I know that looking too much into what should be just a game mechanic and/or a simple animation effect makes you more of a clown than a lore master, but, honestly, at this point the entire fandom wears rainbow wigs and squeaky red noses in order to forget about the pain of no Silksong, so no one has the right to stop me from having fun with some observations I made and how they might be intentional lore pieces. So yeah, what I'm trying to say is that this theory might be a bit of a stretch, but I think it's neat, so I'm gonna post it anyway.

Now, here's the question: what do you think these two have in common?

Both are very sad because they lost someone who was close to them.

2. Both give the Knight a Mask Shard when they die.

My theory here is that these two things are connected.

Now, Mask Shards are weird, lore-wise. The locations where they are found don't always... make much sense. Like ok, aside from the two that I mentioned above, we have ones that are found on top of ancient black statues — this implies that those shards are connected to (and probably were made by) the Ancient Civilisation.

We also have some shards that we get from various NPCs (Sly, Bretta, Seer) — those also make sense, since there's nothing wrong with those weird bugs possessing some ancient artifacts. But then we have Mask Shards that just kinda... float there.

No ancient pedestals. No reason to suggest someone actually owned them. No reason for them to be there aside from the game wanting to reward the player for something.

This is also true for some of the Vessel Fragments.

Although the fountain one is exceptional. The fragment is actually a part of the Pale King's statue, but it detaches once the needed amount of geo is reached. It looks like this statue actually 'gives' it to the Knight once it puts enough geo in the fountain. It could be something that has to do with PK's magic, or with the whole 'sacrifice' theme that's going on with him. Anyway, it's not hard to come up with an explanation for how that one works. What is more interesting is how these shards and fragments are created.

Because apparently this mf can just materialize them out of thin air.

Now, I KNOW this is probably just a nice animation to emphasize how cool of an award a mask shard is, but it also wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that what happens here is Grubfather actually manipulating Soul to create this shard for the Knight. I mean, Grubs do possess some sort of 'holy strength' that was never properly explained to us (that's why I'm hoping to see some grubs in Silksong), and one of the two charms created from their power is something that straight-up gives the Knight extra Soul. If we don't count the Shaman charms, which were used only to extract and use Soul more efficiently, the only other charm that does that is Kingsoul, the embodiment of the union between two Pale Beings. So yeah, the Grubs are totally OP, and Grubfather probably does create a Mask Shard out of Soul here.

Which only proves the fact that both Mask Shards and Vessel Fragments are made out of Soul. I mean, come on, the Knight literally consumes them just like it consumes each of the spells and the Soul of its enemies, AND it takes Soul to restore broken masks. I think it's safe to assume that those ancient masks that the Knight is using to strengthen its shell are made out of Soul, or at least some material that is heavily tied to Soul in some way.

Another fact is that those masks and vessels have big connections to the Ancient Civilisation. Aside from the obvious things like the fragment/shard statues that I mentioned earlier having clear similarities to the Soul totems, there's this whole thing with the engravings on those masks and vessels having a bunch of connections with magical secrets of the Ancient Civilisation...

What I'm getting at here is that the bugs of the Ancient Civilisation probably knew the secrets of manipulating Soul and used those secrets to create masks (for protection) and Soul Vessels (for containing Soul), as well as Soul Totems. It means there is a way a Mask can be created out of Soul, aside from what we see the Knight do when it heals (which is an interesting process, btw - when a mask breaks, the Knight can restore it using Soul, but it can't create new masks to have infinite HP, so the masks it collects must have unique properties that prevent them from being completely destroyed and instead allow them to be recovered after breaking). And maybe that process was already shown to us.

Ok, now I'm actually talking about my theory again. See, the reason I think there's more to these two moments than just a simple reward being given to us by the game is because there's some overlapping philosophical (symbolical?) motifs that connect Brooding Mawlek and Grey Mourner AND possibly give us a glimpse into the secrets of Soul discovered by the Ancient Civilisation. I'm talking about what Soul itself might represent as a sorta metaphysical concept (I don't know how to say that properly... Just bear with me pls).

In the world of Hollow Knight, there are many philosophical concepts that give depth to the nature of various in-world phenomenons. For example, the Void is heavily tied to regrets, perhaps dark memories that keep us from moving forward. That's why it makes sense that, ultimately, Pale King faced his demise at the hands of the Void - he sacrificed thousands of his own children in order to save Hallownest and failed anyway, so there is no way he could avoid (pun intended) being overwhelmed by his regrets about this whole thing.

The Soul is the power that contrasts the Void.

It's implied by Jiji that, when the Knight leaves behind its Shade, it starts to drain *hope* from it.

This line was probably left there to explain this game mechanic:

When the Knight dies, it can no longer fill its Soul meter to the full, until it finds and defeats its Shade. This implies that Soul represents *hope* in contrast to the Void representing regrets.

If we accept this assumption, we can see that it makes sense how:

The White Palace is shown as a beautiful, calm, hopeful place despite it being filled with thorns and sawblades (that might or might not be a metaphor for the PK's pain of trying to hide his mistakes and regrets).

The shamans' dying thoughts are often their last hopes of being free, being heard etc.

The Soul is literally what gives the bugs' bodies the energy to move.

I feel soulless when I wake up at 7 a.m.

All things considered, it's easy to see how Soul is something that might represent such things as hope, motivation, faith - all those feelings that make a person feel whole.

And when the fate forces someone into situations where those things are lost, their inner self breaks. When something separates us from our loved ones for a whole eternity, leaving us as lonely, empty shells of our former selves, our soul hardens.

We already know that masks in this game directly correspond to the person's self, their ability to define themselves as who they are. A mask is literally the core of the person's mind.

And when a person breaks, when their hope becomes eternal sadness, when the essence that animates their body becomes a solid rock, their mind shatters, leaving only a single shard of what should have been a whole mask.

Perhaps, something like that also happened to the bugs of the Ancient Civilisation? Or maybe they found a way to control that sadness, just like they found a way to manipulate the power of regrets? They look like a bunch of cool goth bugs, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was their thing.

TL;DR: ancient masks that the Knight uses are made out of Soul, and Soul is a power that represents hope. When a person experiences a feeling of strong loneliness and hopelessness, their mind literally breaks, and their Soul literally hardens, resulting in the creation of Mask Shards. The bugs of the Ancient Civilisation might have known this.

Kinda edgy.

I like it.

[7minutesinheavennaruto]

hello :) i hope you are doing well, I’d like to request an itachi x fem reader nsfw or itachi with a praise kink, I think it’s very fitting , thank you ^.^

✿❀ Hi Anon! Thank you so much for this request, I had a lot of fun writing it! I hope you enjoy ❀✿

Mod Nightshade

WARNING: NSFW, 18+ ONLY

It’s those precious few moments before evening fades into hazy dusk, when the sky is reddish-gold and everything looks far too perfect, the landscape bathed in sun-slick fire. The air smells of fresh rain, and of tree-bark, and it reminds Itachi far too much of home– of the village he’d planned to grow up defending, only to abandon it in a flurry of senseless violence.

It had hurt– had felt like severing a limb, watching decades of love and friendship and opportunity crumble to dust at his feet– but Itachi had survived it, his thoughts growing sharp and his heart cold to compensate.

Despite everything, however, he’d never quite been able to sever the one thing he’d loved most in Kohona: [y/n].

At first, the pair had planned on meeting just the once: for closure, for a final burst of happiness, to lock that door permanently and throw away the key. But once had not been nearly enough– had made it worse, almost– had slowly turned into just a few more times, which had morphed into something of a regular occurrence.

Itachi’s heart flutters at the sound of a twig snapping, then drops into his stomach at the realization that it is only a doe, picking her way gracefully through the underbrush and nuzzling at the wild raspberries that edge the perimeter of the clearing.

He wonders, as he always does, whether [y/n] will come, or whether she’s realized what he has always known: that she is wasting her life chasing a monster, that only one of them had truly needed to throw away their chance at happiness.

He wonders how cruel he must be to keep meeting like this– to crave her presence so viscerally that he cannot bring himself to put a stop to it, even though the ANBU black-ops would surely tear her apart if they knew.

“I’ve missed you”

Though Itachi still feels the initial pang of panic at being caught entirely off-guard, it fades as quickly as it came on, transforming instead into warmth and elation at the sound of [y/n]’s voice. It feels like the first scent of spring after a long and dangerous winter, like the first strummed notes of a symphony, and Itachi turns to search frantically for her through the gaps between the tree-trunks, breaking his stoic composure.

He’s seen her dozens of times over the years, but Itachi still feels as though his lungs and stomach are filled with something far too warm and far too fluttering to not be alive– as though something within him lives only to see her step from the shadows into the golden dusk, to feel her soft hair slip through his fingers as he raises a hand to gently cup [y/n]’s cheek, to smell the gently-floral musk of her shampoo.

“I’ve missed you too, [y/n],” he whispers, unable to stop his hands from traveling down to her shoulders, tracing the curves of her body and settling at her hips. “It’s been too long, I’m so sorry, I–”

His words are choked, and he rushes to explain those past two months: the letters delivered to [y/n] by crows, his jagged handwriting vague and hasty, with messages stating simply that he cannot safely leave the Akatsuki headquarters without arousing suspicion. He needs her to understand that she’s wanted more than he needs to breathe, but [y/n] only smiles and places a cool finger against his lips, shushing him.

“It’s alright,” she reassures. “I know”

At [y/n]’s touch, Itachi presses his fingertips roughly into the softness of her hips, closing the distance between them and smiling as [y/n] lets out the faintest hint of a little gasp, her chest heaving against his own.

“Itachi, I–” [y/n] begins, but her words turn into a soft hum of pleasure as he kisses her, hands moving hungrily up the curve of her back to scratch lightly down her spine, then coming to rest in her hair, tugging gently until she is forced to look up at him through half-lidded eyes. The evening light reflects beautifully off her gorgeous features, the multifaceted hues of her [e/c] eyes too complex and glorious to put into words.

Silently, Itachi draws back, ignoring [y/n]’s whine of protest as his hands rise to slowly undo the clasps of his crimson and black robes. Every movement is agonizing, patient and calculated when he wants nothing more than to tear off her clothes and fuck her senseless, but he persists, addicted to the way she bites her bottom lip and plays idly with the hem of her shirt, as though begging him to lift it over her head.

Finally, he tosses his robe on the ground, glancing down at it dismissively before looking back up at [y/n]. “Lay down,” he orders. “On your back.”

Wordlessly, she obeys, sitting carefully on the fabric before laying back, her gaze imploring him to just touch her, damn it.

Itachi lowers himself at her feet, giving [y/n] a stern glance as she tries to prop herself up on her elbows to see what he’s doing. “Did I say you could get up?” He asks, waiting for [y/n] to comply before adding– “good girl.”

Moving infuriatingly slowly, he hooks his fingers beneath the hem of [y/n]’s pants, dragging them down her thighs and pausing each time she lets out a muffled sound of pleasure or thrusts her hips slightly to help his progress. He remains cool and impassive as her fingers curl desperately in the fabric of his robes, but in truth, Itachi is almost delirious with anticipation at the thought of her fingers grabbing instead at his hair, of her thighs trembling against his shoulders.

Finally, he slips [y/n]’s pants over her feet and discards them carelessly on the ground, placing his hands on the inside of her thighs and forcefully spreading her legs.

“Oh,” [y/n] exclaims, breathless, shifting involuntarily to get closer to her lover– “please, touch me?”

“You’ve waited two months for me,” Itachi whispers, reaching to tug at the lace of her panties without making much of a move to pull them away. “You’re going to have to be a good girl and wait a little longer.”

He brushes his lips over the inside of [y/n]’s thigh, savoring how soft she is, and how she smells: like flowers and freshly-cut grass and summer sweat– and she squirms deliciously at his touch, whining with frustration when he pulls back and lets the tips of his raven-black hair brush against her before continuing.

“Do you think about me when I’m gone?” Itachi asks, kissing lower, his cheek brushing against the edge of her panties.

“Yes,” she breathes– “all the time.”

“Do you think about this?” He drags his tongue along the thin lace of her panties, tasting her arousal where it soaks through the fabric, and is rewarded with a cry of pleasure as [y/n] arches her back and grabs a fistful of his hair.

“Y-yes,” she moans. “Yes, always.”

Slowly, Itachi moves the panties aside with two fingers, though he does not touch [y/n] quite yet, his breaths hot and teasing against her exposed skin.

“I think about you too,” he admits, ghosting the tip of his tongue lightly over her slit. “When I’m awake, before I fall asleep, in my dreams. I think about how fucking beautiful you are, and how badly I want you, constantly.”

“Mm, fuck–” [y/n] gasps, closing her eyes and exhaling sharply. “C-come back to Konoha. O-or I’ll leave, and we can run away together.”

“Someday,” Itachi promises, pressing his tongue against [y/n]’s clit and savoring her taste, his eyes fluttering shut as she pulls involuntarily at his hair. “Someday, but not tonight. Tonight, I’m going to fuck you so good, you won’t forget me.”

She opens her mouth to reply– to say something like I could never forget you– but then Itachi slides two fingers inside of her and sucks on her clit, and any semblance of coherent thought is snuffed out like a dying star. Her hips rise from the makeshift bed but he places his free hand on her stomach, forcing her down onto her back with a muffled “stay.”

He’s got [y/n] reduced to a flushed and gasping mess on his Akatsuki robes, both of her hands now fisting Itachi’s glossy hair, and he’s something of a flushing, gasping mess himself, now– his cock hard and straining against the front of his pants, drool and [y/n]’s wetness running down his chin as he brings [y/n] closer to the edge with his tongue.

“Please,” she begs– “please fuck me, I want– I want all of you,” and the hitch at the end of her sentence tells Itachi she’s getting close.

He does not reply– just keeps going, speeding up a bit until she lets go of his hair to clap a hand over her mouth, thighs tensing around his head as she presses desperately against the sheets. She moans something into her open palm, and Itachi cannot tell what she is saying, but he knows what he hopes it is: I love you, I need you, you need me too– right?

The sun has finished setting, and soft moonlight reflects off [y/n]’s face as Itachi sits up, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand as he gazes down at her– the beads of sweat dotting her forehead, the erratic rise and fall of her chest as she struggles to catch her breath, the messy [h/c] locks stuck to her cheeks and billowing in contrast with his robes.

“Let me return the favor,” she offers, smiling at him through a haze of pleasure as she moves to sit up, but Itachi shakes his head.

“No, [y/n],” he says sternly. “Tonight is about you. Lay down, do not make me ask again.”

Though the night is pleasantly cool, Itachi feels almost unbearably hot in his thin shirt and pants, frantic to tear them off and fuck [y/n] in earnest– to pound her into the sheets until she’s senseless and moaning his name, over and over and over. He pulls off his shirt, then shoves his pants down his hips, not bothering to take them all the way off.

[y/n] moves to remove her own shirt, but Itachi gently closes his finger around her wrist, guiding her hand to rest at her side. “I’ll do that,” he murmurs, sliding his hands beneath the hem of her top and savoring the dip of her waist and the swell of her breasts beneath dark fabric. Slowly, methodically, he pulls the garment over her head, then sits back to examine his handiwork.

“You’re so beautiful,” Itachi whispers, tilting his head to examine the silver glow of moonlight, and the way it illuminates the intricacies of her figure as though she were a work of art– “I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it. Like an angel, like–”

“Like your angel?“

It’s an innocuous question, phrased almost as a joke, but it causes something inside of him to tip over the edge. With a sharp exhale, Itachi takes [y/n] by the hips and slides her towards him, grabbing his cock and lining it up with her entrance. He had meant to take it slow– to tease her to the point of near-insanity, until she was begging and whimpering– but his self-restraint crumbles the moment he slides his tip in and [y/n] clenches around him in response, her lips parting in a delicious little moan.

“Fuck,” he groans, ramming his length inside of her and letting out a shaky gasp. “Fuck, you feel so fucking good.”

She responds by pulling him down on top of her, grasping at his hair and running her fingernails down his chest as she kisses him sloppily, interspersed with little yelps as he pounds into her, hard and fast and hungry.

“You’re so good to me, so obedient,” he continues, placing a hand on her waist to hold her steady as he switches his rhythm from the erratic, desperate thrusts he’d started with to something rhythmic but no less needy, feeling her pulsate around him as he shoves so deep inside of her, his hips press up against the underside of her thighs. “I need you,” Itachi moans, kissing along her jawline, down the side of her neck, biting at her collarbones. His voice is low and heavy with arousal, and the hand at [y/n]’s waist presses into her flesh with such fervor, it’s almost painful. “I need you so fucking bad, you’re mine.”

“All yours,” [y/n] reassures, wrapping her legs around his waist, her words punctuated with the occasional stifled moan– “all yours, I’m gonna– fuck – gonna take care of you.”

All that matters is her breaths against his ear, and the way her skin tastes: salty and sweet and floral, and the fact that she’s moaning his name and digging her fingertips into his chest. He fucks her a little harder, and a little faster, and is rewarded with a muttered oh, god as she thrusts against him, teetering on the edge of a precipice. He wonders, somewhere in the back of his mind, why any of it matters at all– the Akatsuki and his plans, revenge and death and the prevention of the inevitable– when what he cares about most is here beneath him, and she’s so fucking perfect.

“Tell me you love me,” he orders, trying to sound authoritative instead of pathetic.

“I love you,” [y/n] obliges, pulling him closer. “I love you more than anything, Itachi Uchiha. I’ll – god– I’ll wait for you, die for you– whatever it takes.”

He groans into her dip between her neck and her collarbones, then pulls back to kiss her on the mouth, as though he can taste the words she’s just spoken: wonderful and earnest and better than he could have hoped. “I love you too,” he says, breathing the air from her lungs– “I love you.”

“I-I’m gonna–” [y/n] gasps, grabbing Itachi’s hips in an attempt to force his cock even deeper inside of her.

“Are you going to cum for me?” He asks, smiling against her lips. “Good girl,”

The hand on her hips moves between her legs and she tilts her head back, no longer able to keep kissing him as any iota of thought and control gives way to ecstasy. He feels her walls clench around him, once, twice– and this pushes Itachi over the edge as well, crying out her name as he finishes inside her.

For several heartbeats, neither of them can move, their chests rising and falling as they struggle to breathe.

“You’re perfect, you know that?” He whispers, letting out a low laugh and looking down at her face, tinged pink, eyes still half-shut.

“You’re not so bad yourself.”

[blue-cheeseinmyoffwhites]

Very late, but, https://www.tumblr.com/blue-cheeseinmyoffwhites/756639587329277952/rwby-asks-are-open-im-bored?source=share

Who's you're favorite character?

Quick shoutout to the lovely @tumblingxelian for their amazing RWBY content check them out on YT

Let’s do Top 5

Mercury Black

This is solely because of his fighting style. If I could fuck up some stuff with my legs I’d probably be a dick about it too. I started RWBY during V2 & he was one of the first faces I met. I remember LOVING his design & liking his cool laid-back attitude. He started gaining my attention in Volume 3 after his fight with Coco & Yatsu, then won me over after his fight with Yang. I remember being baffled after his prosthetic reveal, & after learning about his allusion it all came together. For the longest time I was trying to decode his semblance (I thought it was something to do with wind manipulation) then V6 came around & shut all that down. I understand he hasn’t been very popular as of late, but I think he has so much potential & they just need to give him more screentime in V10+

Sun Wukong

I appreciate an unconditionally positive character. Sun & Mercury have always just been so cool to me. His design is great too, I like his monkey traits & how he shows his abs. His weapon is genuinely top 5 in the series, & his semblance matches his bright personality. One of my favorite fight scenes is Blake & Sun vs Sea Feilong & his contribution played a big part of that. I did like his appearance in V4-V5 & I was excited to see his gun-chucks return against Ilia. I think he is a great foil to Blake & serves her character arc really well.

Cinder Fall

Sorry but Cinder Fall is just that bitch. I hate everything she does & that’s why I love her. She knows what she wants & can easily get people on her side to do her bidding. She actually pushes the narrative & I consider her to be the main antagonist. The animators take real care when it comes to her battles. She has not missed a SINGLE fight she has been in. Seriously every one has been a hit: Glynda, Amber, Ozpin, Pyrrha, Raven, Neo, Winter, Penny, etc etc. Anytime there is a fight involving Cinder it’s going to be rememberable in some way, especially the Raven vs Cinder fight. I vividly remember my mind going numb watching it for the first time. I do feel they made her a little OP but it’s whatever. I really like her character arc & how she’s slowly turning into a Grimm. I loved her backstory, a lot of people didn’t because it’s just “Cinderella but dark” but like…..that’s kinda the entire point of this series, dark retellings of fairytales. She’s a great foil to Ruby & actually learns from her to gain victory in V8. I just want them to have a proper fight.

Qrow Branwen

Qrow Qrow Qrow. I love their man & want to give him hugs. If there’s one thing RWBY does amazingly, it is setup & payoff. I love his they slowly teased him in V1-V2 as a badass & then finally let us visualize it in V3. He doesn’t take crap from anyone & says what’s on his mind. Love Love LOVE his relationship with Ruby (forever holding onto my cracktheory that he’s her real dad). He acts as her mentor & influenced her fighting style. I like how he became the leader of the team for some time & how his laid-back attitude conflicts with him suddenly having to take care of 8 kids. But he does it anyway. His fight scenes are also amazing. He always looks so confident. His first appearance in V3 he had that super dynamic fight against Winter. In V4 he fought Tyrian & showed Team RNJR (& us) the difference between students & Huntsmen. V7 is where he really shined for me. He finally had a relationship that wasn’t affected by his semblance & can just chill for a while. I very much enjoyed his relationship with Clover & was heartbroken by what happened after. But those last 2 fights with them were pretty great. I hope his semblance evolves into Good Luck as well.

Yang Xiao Long

I like all members of Team RWBY but Yang stands out for obvious reasons. She had the best Trailer for one. Also her fighting style is the most different from her teammates. They’re all swing-swing-slash & she’s all punch-punch-kick. Like Cinder, Yang gets the best treatment when it comes to fight scenes. She’s been marketed as the strongest member & it shows over & over again. Her semblance is super cool & makes her look like a Goddess. I like how her character arc revolves around her fighting style & we can actually see her improvement throughout the volumes. I like how she is the most vocal about the whole trust situation in V5-V8. She lost her arm for this war, she of all people deserves some answers. I really adore her relationship with Blake & I think their story is perfect. She’s the heart of the team & it’s most present in V5 when she is the one reuniting the team.

[beevean]

What pisses me off the most about NFCV is the way it disrespects the original medium of video gaming. The show sets up a potential action setpiece similar to a level from the game (the turning wheel, s1e3 I think) and then just *walks around it*. Everything about the way "Devil Forging" works in the show demonstrates that Ellis didn't even consult a cutscene compilation, much less the game. And sure enough, the fucker admits he never played them. Why adapt source material you've never experienced?

*Captain N* (a show I defend to the death) was better than this. It embraces the action montage, and even if things aren't 1-to-1, they do capture the appeal of the gameplay they adapt. It understands people love the original work. NFCV plows through the formalities of adapting a guy skimming the wikipedia summary of the game and then sits everyone in a basement for a full season.

The only times I felt I was watching an adaptation of Castlevania was in S1, with things like the fight against the Cyclop who petrified Sypha and Trevor falling into the deepest catacombs where Alucard hid himself, and in S4, where the last fight before the final showdown with Death happens in a clock tower, his iconic hideout.

As for the rest, I remember some snarky fans defending the show's wildly different direction with things like "what, did you expect to see Trevor jumping on platforms?" I don't know but it sure as shit would have been better than the trio wasting the entirety of S2 cooped up in a library! Yes, I would have preferred to see them travel through forests and caves and swamps, instead of wasting my time watching N!Alucard being a complete jerk to N!Trevor for no good reason! (and no, defending vampires is not a good reason)

bro. bro not even the vampire killer is treated with respect. it's replaced with the morning star which is a different weapon, and then n!trevor drops it in favor of a knife pulled out of the story's ass. the morning star pisses n!dracula off, but a fucking stick is capable of killing him. are you doing this on purpose.

And don't get me started on Devil Forging. I actually don't mind too much the idea of making it more similar to necromancy, because it would fit with the idea that it's a cursed, disgusting, blasphemous art. I also can concede that the knowledge that Dracula infused Hector and Isaac with his own power is very obscure, vaguely implied in one cutscene in CoD and one panel of PtR, and confirmed in a pre-release interview. But everything else is so less interesting. It's an art that apparently N!Hector was born with for no reason and N!Isaac could study on his own, removing the personal connection between Dracula and Forgemasters. There are other Forgemasters in the world: those two are not special (which also makes me wonder why N!Dracula bothered to hire N!Hector with a lie when he could have travelled some more: I'm sure Miranda would have helped him). N!Isaac eventually becomes so OP he can stibby stabby to create new Night Creatures without any effort. None of the interesting themes about dehumanization or forcing pure creatures to sin are hinted at*. Even N!Hector's unique cavalier relationship with death, a genuinely but interesting childish mentality of "oh no, death is sad! but I can fix it!", is never explored, because the story was too busy making him look stupid and breedable. And to top it all off, Nocturne literally introduces the concept of a Devil Forging machine which is so bad it sucks even in universe.

*the closest thing to this is in S4 with this line from N!Isaac: "You believe you are tools of destruction only because this is how your kind have always been used". Admittedly, it's a cool line I would have loved to apply to Hector and Isaac. But it doesn't quite work because by definition Night Creatures are not innocent, being demons from hell... and anyway he keeps using them to kill people in Styria because N!Isaac is a bastard and unlike Isaac he won't even admit it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that line comes off as so self-aggrandizing and I hate how much the show shills him so I won't cut it any slack because I'm petty.

As for Captain N, I will say this: the inclusion of the Poltergeist King is, of course, totally wrong from a lore stand point, but to me it tells that the writers actually read the manual in search of information, and the American manual really was the only resource they had at their disposal at the time. Just like that, they put in more effort than Warren "somehow didn't realize on his own that Mathias Cronqvist was Dracula's human name while reading a wiki page" Ellis.

[piracytheorist]

OKAY

I think it says a lot about my job that I was able to concentrate on it today and completely forget we GOT TRAILER

It was a mistake to check tumblr first thing in the morning, before I even got out of bed, but in my defense, I didn't expect it would drop at such a day and time! But anyway I did jump off of bed, turned on my laptop and recorded my face as I watched it. I needed to have that memorized XD

So, spoilers about the trailer below, and my own predictions about what each scene could be for! Reminder that I'm anime only, but have read the chapter that the first episode (probably) is based on, so for the most part I know what's going on, but for the rest I'm very much NOT aware :D Don't spoil me please :D

FAKE FAMBLY IS BACK

Manipulative Anya at her best! We love our gremlin!

Oh he's looking good :D

I fucking love this image. Look at Twilight pouting in the background. He doesn't understand why a child finds news boring.

WE GOT BLOOD WE GOT THORN PRINCESS IN ACTION LET'S GOOOOO

your honour I love him. Why does he look like he's ready to cry!

Ok from a first hearing the OP song sounds super cool. I feel like it's got "Mixed Nuts" vibes and I love it! I gotta look it up later!

Jeez Loid. Woman just woke up. Is that how he honeypoted all of his other missions?

Yor having a meltdown in the foreground and Anya being cute waking up in the background <3 I love my fake fambly <3

... okay. That's how his honeypots worked.

Yellow roses, if I'm correct, symbolize friendship. Interesting.

This is going to be a disaster and I cannot wait. Also I'm spotting Anya and Franky doing a horrible job at hiding in the left pic XD

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Anya's voice say "Moja-Moja" :')

Very sneaky. Much hiding. Wow. There's no way Franky thought this was working XD

The way all of this could have been solved with a "I tripped down the stairs and fell on my butt and now it hurts to sit" but hey we're getting a funny date how can I ask for more

Also the way Yor says that line my god

I am so ready for more Yor you have no idea

I gotta say, showing this moment is perfect for anime-onlies who haven't actually read this specific chapter. Loid just looks worried and Yor looks enraged. So many feelings for this episode XD

Are those macarons? What were the fucking chances that yesterday I went like "Next morning I'm gonna pass by that bakery that makes macarons". I haven't had macarons in years, yet I see one (1) advertisement about that bakery and its macarons and I go like yeah why not. Macarons. And now this. The fuck.

GREMLIN ANYA IS BACK

Honestly, her face in official merch is always a :D face with an almost unnaturally big smile all the time that I've missed her silly little face.

AH I WAS SENT THAT AS A MANGA SCREENSHOT!

Are those playing cards she's throwing? And is she reading someone's mind? I don't even care if she's cheating, good for you girl

Yeah, buddy, welcome to the real world.

I remember that line from the end of the bullet-in-butt date chapter, and I gotta admit I don't really like it... but the way Eguchi delivers it makes me think he's not like "Women amirite" but more like "All my years of training did not prepare me for how people are like in their day to day lives because spy training has skewed my perception of day to day 'normal'" and that's perfectly valid.

But also what the fuck is happening here. What is that cat. Why is Yor about to Thorn-Princess it. What.

So Anya goes on a studying rampage, fails, and ends up crying on her penguin?

This only made me sad, what the fuck. It looks like Loid and Yor are looking at her failing grades, and Anya is disappointed in herself. I will don my clown wig again and say "If Loid doesn't go and reassure her so help me GOD"

I... don't like the ending theme song. But that's mostly a matter of taste, I guess.

Aw.

They dare throw this to anime onlies when they know we won't get romantic canon twiyor content until three to five business years from now at least

The assassin group... I'm supposing he means the one Yor works for? How long does "for a while now" mean? Wasn't Yor working for them since she was a teenager caring for Yuri?

In any case, wow that's a very intense visual.

omg omg omg

from the colour and the angle this looks like a vision Bond has. Loid and Yor are smiling and blushing but why does it make me feel sad!!

I don't know if it's because of what is said in that moment (they look like unrelated scenes since the line is being said by a woman who I'm guessing is a fellow assassin working with Yor or something) but then there's this

And we just don't see Yor like that often, if at all in the anime so far.

What is Franky wearing? It looks like a military jacket or something. I wonder if that's just stylistic choice or it's something more important.

*snorts laugh*

Gotta admit, from a few tidbits here and there it looks like Twilight is finally gaining some more understanding of himself and his situation... but the way he says that just makes me think that realization makes him more concerned than anything else.

So I can say with conviction this did fix something in me. Though I guess the first episode will be the bullet-in-butt date, so it will take me another week to go into new territory. But! Bullet-in-butt date in 12 days! And new cool stuff to look for later on! I'm so happy!

(Again, I don't want spoilers for any of these. Just let me have my fun speculating :D)

screenshots taken from the unofficially subtitled trailer here!

[lady-of-endless]

Hello! I hope you're doing well. May I please request a romantic matchup for One Piece?

My pronouns are she/her and I prefer men.

Personality: Leo, INFJ, 1w9, HP house Ravenclaw. Making an effort to understand myself and others is important to me, so that leads to long periods of pondering my actions, as well as others’. I love having me time, though I enjoy being with those close to me from time to time. I'm very supportive, encouraging, reserved, clumsy, easily flustered, athletic, conscientious, witty and sarcastic. Though I unintentionally come across as intimidating, I'm rather gentle and caring. I'm pretty stoic and some misinterpret it as being emotionless (I honestly just want the best for everyone). I rarely lose my cool. I’m adventurous and have completed a dream of mine–living/working in a country that doesn’t speak my native language. I actively search for things to be thankful for to remind myself that there's a lot of beauty in the world, and I'm glad to experience it. I adore challenging myself both intellectually and physically. I am happiest when seeking out information, reason, and understanding. I’m really kinda superstitious…

I work as a foreign language teacher, so my job requires me to have patience, be understanding, be able to think on my feet, and be creative. I'm incredibly determind, which helps push me through difficult days. I strongly encourage those I teach to speak their minds and have open discussions.

My love languages are definitely acts of service and words of affirmation. I don't dislike physical affection when it's from my s/o, but I don't tend to seek it out. Quality time is fine, especially when we're just doing our own thing but sitting near each other. I will always appreciate gifts but hate feeling like I owe others.

Likes and Dislikes: I love discussing topcs that revolve around enigmas. It's not as important to have others agree with me as it is to explore the unknown with them. I like practicing the languages I know, biology, demonology, genealogy, reading, museums, Victorian history, singing, alternative rock and metal music, and exploring my surroundings. Cats and rodents are top tier pets. A large portion of what I read/watch relates to the occult. I dislike storms, large bodies of water, and people who always turn disagreements into arguments.

Hobbies: Writing horror stories, DnD, reading, singing, listening to music, playing the piano, dancing, watching horror movies, drawing, and yoga. As an avid horror fan, animated movies are for sure a guilty pleasure of mine.

Appearance: long wavy auburn hair and my eyes are more of a honey brown. I always wear round glasses. I'm pale with freckles on my cheeks and nose. 5’9, lean, more of an hourglass shape and have a bit of muscle. I mostly wear black and white, but also lilac :) My asthetic is a mix between grunge and dark academia.

I hope this wasn't too painfully long! 💜💜

Author's Note: Thank you for your request! Please dont apologize for the long description, it's helpful and very enjoyable. Hope you'll like it!

I ship you with... Mihawk!

(lovely gif is not mine, please show appreciation to the OP)

- Your ambitious personality draws him in, thinking of how beneficial is to collaborate with someone as ambitious and capable as him. Not to mention your ability to not lose your cool.

- He's feelings go from doubt, to fascination, to respect and then to attraction. He also takes time to understand himself and his feelings so it will definitely be a slow burn.

- He likes that you take time to ponder and then act. Whenever he sees you deep in thought he can't help it but wonder what's going on in that pretty mind of yours.

- Please be a little sarcastic with him too, he'll secretly like that.

- The fact that you try to find the beautiful things in life is something that he wants to learn from you but won't admit. You'll see him try though.

- Unintentionally intimidating looking? You two would look like such a power couple, oh my. Also your grunge and dark academia aesthetic goes so damn well with his aesthetic.

- He thinks that you are a magnificent woman. As days go on and he discovers more about you, you slowly become his muse.

- Because he knows just how determined, analytical and creative you are, he'll probably propose you to come with him to Cross Guild meetings. You'll be a fine addition and a great advisor. (this also gets him the chance to show you off)

- I think that even some of your likes and hobbies will perfectly match his. So perfectly that Mihawk is a bit doubtful at first. He's a bit confused, he always thought that his likes were a bit well, unique.

- Will love to spend a late night talking with you about enigmas and the occult over a glass of wine.

- He will ask you if you could play the piano for him after he had a long day. You may not notice but he looks the most enamoured when you're playing the piano for him.

- Oh and expect reading dates. He takes pride in his library so that's where you two would spend most of the time together.

- He takes note of your dislikes. During stormy weather, Mihawk will invite you next to him to keep you warm. He will start reading to you so that you'll hear his voice instead of the wind and the thunders from outside. He hates it when disagreements turn into arguments as well, so expect him to always come to you and discuss calmly whatever disagreement you two might have.

- Dear, to me you sound like the perfect match for Mihawk, I have nothing else to say.

irene! pls share some crumbs of how you see lily…shes fav always and forever, and i’m dying to see how other people see her!!! (bonus: ops on bartylily 👀)

hi beth 😈 lily is actually one of my favorite characters (second only to barty, ugh) and she's my precious wife, i love her.

so... lily in my head is the kind of girl who does everything perfectly. she's super studious, has high grades, but at the same time she's also good at sports, does a lot of extracurricular activities, goes out with friends, and her time seems to never end. she has 36h days.

she's also popular, the whole school knows her, cause she's nice, kind and friendly (and, well, she's friend with the marauders, who certainly don't go unnoticed). this also means everyone has something to tell or ask her, and she's constantly at the center of attention all day (she hates it), but as a prefect and then head girl is her duty to help those in difficulty. she's like that girl you run to to revise before a test, and who you turn to in math when you don't understand what the teacher is saying. she's that important.

(+ since i'm rewatching my hero academia, i think lily is very similar to ochaco uraraka: while all her classmates want to become heroes for noble ideals, she wants to do it for the money, so she can help her family and go on vacation to hawaii. i mean, lily is a girl with very clear and concrete goals, and she does everything to achieve them).

but even though lily's cute and sweet, it's better not to get in her way. in fact, when she meets barty for the first time, she plans to destroy him (my girl is canonically excellent in charms). she heard from mcgonagall that a student a year younger than her managed to get all 12 owls, so she expects him to be a pimply kid with glasses, a nerd... but instead barty is a dried up emo who stinks of smoke and definitely needs to put more deodorant on.

and well, barty hates lily because he was her biggest admirer (she punched a guy – james – in the hallway one day), but then she didn't say hello to him on a monday morning at 7am (barty says she ignored him, but she really didn't see him) and so he decided to get revenge. lily, whose initial goal was to humiliate barty, becomes his "friend", but she realizes (with a lot of anger) that he's actually a very smart boy. she isn't exactly sweet in the way she treats him – like, she makes him carry her books between classes – but he likes it a little too much.

he worships her like a goddess and so lily thinks "why not?"

she breakes up with him at the end of sixth year. barty looks at her and just says "alright. cool", but then when he gets back to his dorm he cries LMAO.

[zoinkdoodles]

HIIIIII !!!!

i think wamuu has a really interesting relationship with servitude in relation to kars and his love of fighting. i wish battle tendency were longer so i could actually sink my teeth into it more but!! here are my thoughts !!

i think wamuu has worked very very hard to be the perfect servant for kars, and by extension, esidisi. he definitely sees esidisi as above him, but at the end of the day, is the same as him, just an extension of kars to use as he wills. we see in the awakening ep, wamuu only addresses Kars by name and even directly for that matter, esidisi is only addressed with Kars (Wamuu saying “Masters” “My Lords”, etc. in that sequence in direct contrast w “Lord Kars” said multiple times.) Esidisi butts in on statements addressed to Kars too, answering for him. (talking about getting the stone). that, combined with esidisi being the more violent of the two elders, stewed resentment in wham, leading to him, consciously or not, to favour kars heavily.

in that opening sequence, kars steps across whams shadow, etc etc you’ve seen the show LOL, but kars specifically tells wamuu not to worry about that specific reflex, even though it caused him to harm Kars. HOWEVER, we see multiple times people crossing wamuus shadow, but the lack of the bodily reflex. he tenses up and turns his head slightly, indicating he’s actively repressing that reflex. we even see it a few minutes later, when caesar jumps behind wamuu and crosses his shadow. the fact that wamuu gave a coordinated strike to caesars neck instead of a reflexive strike to a generalised area as shown with kars (striking his shoulder instead of the thing that crossed his path first, his leg/foot) shows how absolutely op wamuu is at controlling his body and mental state.

which makes the colosseum sequence SO interesting to me. wamuu poking out his own eyes to center himself and to feel in control of his body and mind again tracks. to me he’s the strongest pillar men, and being brutally mutilated like never before in seconds after being confident of a victory must have been so unimaginably crushing for him. he KNOWS that he’s the only one at this point that has a chance of taking out joseph and lisa lisa, caesar almost got his ass. wham says directly that kars would have been worse off than he in the fight with caesar. wamuu never had a chance once joseph got the upper hand on him in that moment. he was blinded (literally) by his need to serve kars, and by his love of the fight and wanting victory.

THANK U FOR LISTENING TO ME AS ALWAYS! U ARE SO COOL AND NUMBER ONE!⭐️⭐️⭐️

God man, to truly think about it all is kind of sad. I read a fic the other day detailing Wamuu and Santana’s childhood, and it was bad. Kids getting dragged, thrown in dungeons, even amputation. But when Wamuu went near the door and heard Santana’s screams of anguish and terror, he froze. Because of his love for his masters, he didn’t interfere and ran off in the other direction. He labeled himself as a coward, unable to stick up for anybody. Maybe deep down in that little skull of his, a part of him yearns to stick up for himself and his brother.

Sorry for yappin lol, but I genuinely love your ideas. I’m sorry I don’t always answer your asks, I would answer them all if I had the energy to. Your awesome pal :)

reply roundup!

I've done basically nothing but lay down and be exhausted since kirb2k over 2 months ago, but I did at least get the kirbox orders fulfilled. I have an immunology appointment in another 2 1/2 months and maybe they might do something to help me feel better. (it's a bad time. I know it seems to be most of what I talk about, but it is kind of all-consuming. even this roundup wore me out.)

also there are sometimes comments that make me smile but I don't have anything to add to them so I just read them and smile and don't put them in the roundups, but I promise I do see them all, like the many yeehaws (and yes haws and heehaws) for [cowboy kirb] <3

[ultra-raging-ghost]

op the best thing your parents can do is get the divorce bless, im sorry about the fighting :( i get you it's the WORST but at least you got to play a cool game🔥🔥 now cmon spill some batjokes go go go

this is the FUNNIEST ask to get without context and i feel like im finally living up to the expectations of an ao3 author, also ty anon i was just super fucking stressed, i got an hour of sleep sunday night/monday morning and then when i was at my friends place i crashed really hard and slept for 14 hours straight and it really helped but anyway okay BATJOKES

okay so i played both seasons i dont have a pc myself but my friend does and they have both seasons and brooooo..... i played the vigilante joker route and i loved it

i sacrificed the FUCK out of catwoman im ngl.... my friend was so surprised but dude i was SO DOWN BAD FOR JOHN!!!!!! IDGAF !!! i was so down bad for john the whole time dude and at the end it was like "oh you were manipulating him into thinking you liked him to get info" NO!!!! I WANTED TO FUCK HIM!!!!!!!

when harley debuted i chose the option of asking john if he was in love with me AND HIS ASS SAID NO BUT ISTG HE WAS IN DENIAL!!! PURELY BECAUSE HE BELIEVED HARLEY TO BE HIS SOULMATE, SHE HIT HIM SHE DOESNT DESERVE HIM LIKE I DO !!!!!

like at some point with catwoman i chose something like against her for john and i was in the MINORITY like it was a 95%/5% Ratio and i was in the 5% and i do NOT regret that shit ‼

otherwise aside from my mental illness about batjokes i had a lot of unpopular opinions according to the peanut gallery (my irl who was watching me play it) like im ngl i gave up batman to keep alfred like HES OUR DAD???? THATS OUR DAD RIGHT THERE AND HIS POINTS WERE VALID, IMMA LISTEN TO HIM HES SMART IDK.....

Otherwise dude... i felt SO bad for harvey (2face)!!!!!! aside from his main storyline (i was very merciful and understanding with him, actually i saved him over catwoman in that one scene so his face didnt get fucked up just his arm in the fire) i read his file on the gotham news reports and dude..... like everything surrounding him is just SO SAD

Also i cannot say this enough tbh i side with mr. freeze every time.... i may be a sucker for romance but that man was trying his hardest to save his wife and from what ive seen he does that in every iteration of batman, like he becomes a villain and gets into illegal shit because his wifes sick and idk man..... like even if he is a villain i really empathize with him??? in the playthrough i offered to keep his wife safe and alive and i took mercy on him when he got infected with the virus and i froze him, like i have confidence in him idk.... i know he probably died bc it turned out the reason the riddler survived was because of the cure that also made him go insane but like my fingers are CROSSED!!!!!

also will say the only thing id change was i was kinda iffy about taking that selfie with john at the funeral, like i didnt do it but idk..... afterwards i thought abt taking that back like dude i NEVER WRONGED that man!!!!!! he was my POOKIE!!!!!! and i lowkey feel like him going crazy in the vigilante route was pushed for by the writers bc it felt a lil.... idk..... like forced but i get it its part of the story line......./silly

my friend played the villain!joker route and from what ive heard its EVEN GAYER and they let me watch them play the last 15 minutes of the villain route so i could see how differently they handled selina and that doll scene was kinda.... idkkkk 👀 like heyyyyy/f

i also heard theres a line from harley in the villain joker route about how he could never get over me and how john always liked me better than her which was SO satisfying because i made batman so jealous over her and john hanging out like im ngl i was so up harleys ass in s2

OH OH other thing id change, i wouldnt sip from harleys slushie, i didnt understand why she was offering it to me but now that i know i wouldnt take it ngl, making john jealous was not worth that slushie !!!!!

uhhh thats all, ty anon :D

[count-alucard-tepes]

Heyy I have request btw thank you so much your the only writer that has done my requests🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️😭😭 arigato!!!

So how would the OP daddies react to their S/O being really jealous and how would they help there S/O to calm them down from the jealousy 👀👀🙏🏼

Have a great day and week ❤️👀

You're requests are always welcome here, honey💛💛💛

Kizaru ✨

He would be surprised by his S/O's behavior and would definitely talk to his S/O about it when they are alone. Most of the time, he would ignore it until it becomes too much for him and he’d had to have a serious talk with them.

Akainu🌋

He would be really annoyed by this behavior as it’s way too much for him and he has a lot to deal with at work too. So when his relationship is becoming stressful, he would take his S/O for couples counseling and they would need to sort it out right there.

Ryokugyu 🌱

He does not like it at all and immediately it becomes an argument. No matter he reassures his S/O that’s they’re the only one for him, it’s gets very tiring for him very quickly.

Fujitora 🐅

He is concerned by the behavior of his S/O and would talk to them to try and cool them down as much as he can.

Sir Crocodile 🐊

He’s not having it as it’s just too much for him, if the relationship is not giving him peace, he would rather just let go of it. He tries to be supportive of them but it’s just all too much.

Doflamingo Donquixote 🦩

He laughs it off at first but then he noticed how things just escalate and it becomes a lot to deal with. He talks to his S/O, gives them kisses and gifts in hope they would calm down.

Benn Beckman 🔫

He doesn’t like it all and tries to comfort them best he can by talking to them and reassuring them that he loves only them.

Katakuri Charlotte 🍡

It’s a total turn off for him and he will reassure his S/O that they’re the only person he wants but ultimately it’s a lot to deal with.

Killer🔪

He is surprised to see how jealous his S/O would get and would try to spoil them by getting them flowers and generally showing them how much they mean to him. It does eventually become a burden to him though.

Kaido🐉

He honestly doesn’t even care, he loves that his S/O is all about him and that’s all that matters.

King 👑

He thinks it’s a bit toxic and would talk to his S/O about how the behavior is effecting their relationship and that they need to make a compromise.

Queen👑

He thinks it cute at first but then it gets a little out of control. He tries to talk to his S/O but he feels like he’s in a awkward position to be put in.

Izou🔫🔫

He thinks its a burden and that his S/O needs to be calm as they’re the only one for him. He would talk to them and be a good listener.

Dragon D Monkey 🐉🐒

He doesn’t have much time for it so he tends to ignore it as much as possible.

Oven Charlotte 🍞

He feels awkward to address it but at the same it does stroke his ego which he loves.

Buggy🤡

He thinks it’s a lot to deal with but he would be gentle when bringing it up with his S/O so that they could just understand where each other is coming from.

Marco the Phoenix 🦅

He feels he is in an awkward place because he doesn’t want to upset his S/O more but at the same time, he doesn’t want to ignore this any further.

As a follow up to my Dead Rising 7 Day Survivor poll, since Frank's black dress was pretty firmly in the lead and I had the time... I went for the 7 Day Survivor achievement (requires playing for 14 hours straight, no saves, you die, you have to restart) annnnnd

I got it! However. 😑

Both achievements popped as they were supposed to but you have to properly end the game (which, in Infinity Mode, means Frank has to die) to get to keep the items that 5 and 7 Day Survivor earn you, namely the Laser Sword and Arthur's Boxers:

(Dead Rising Wiki)

I wanted Frank to have an epic ending after surviving that long, so headed out from where we'd been holed up in a safe place (Ned's Knicknackery, in case anybody actually wondered, lol, it's the store you find Floyd in 😉) and went down into the Maintenance Tunnels with the intention of jumping in the white car there and seeing what it looked like for Frank to die while driving.

However, I went through the wrong door, decided to turn around and re-enter the mall and go to the correct one annnnnd didn't realize that would activate a bug in the game. You can't go back into the mall like that in Infinity Mode. Everything paused and then... I was looking at my desktop. My game was gone and so were the items I should've gotten. At least the achievements still recorded, though, so I've officially 100%-ed this game!

(Along with Mass Effect: Andromeda and should hopefully be getting Detroit: Become Human ASAP. The MCC is as done as it's going to be since I can't get the co-op achievements and I've had to realize I can either play Legendary or I can play fast but not at the same time 🤷‍♀️😉 so several of those achievements are out and let's not even talk about LASO 😬)

Anyway! I didn't get any footage or even screencaps of Frank in this run but he was wearing his stylish black dress, he pinky swears!

And I'd started a new run (because yes, I love this game THAT much that, after playing it for 14 hours straight, my idea of fun was to start playing it again, lol!) and then realized I actually COULD find out what happened if Frank died in Infinity Mode while driving. I just started it up and headed down to the parking area outside of the Maintenance Tunnels (avoiding any doors 😬😬😬), jumped in the car and drove around until his life ran out.

D'aww, poor Frank! But I kinda loved how he just pops out of the car and it keeps on driving without him, lol! I'd intended to get a screencap of my final "You survived for [this long]" screen when I finished 7 Day Survivor but, alas, it was not to be. I still went ahead and recorded this one, though, just 'cause. 😉

Oh and Georgette would like me to clarify that SHE did not crash, it was the game. Georgette held up to a 14 hour gaming session like a dang trooper! I checked her temps (after I was done staring at my lost game and softly going, "noooooooo") and she was a very cool 33C! She never once had to kick in her secondary fans or anything that whole time! *patpats her*

I even told her how proud I was of her! Yeah, I, um, talk out loud to the computer a lot; always have, this isn't new, lol 🤷‍♀️😂

Thanks to anybody who voted and who read all of this just now, I really appreciate it! 🤗

[achaotichuman]

Hi! I'm the Andras anon! (I'll have to come up with a nickname soon sdsa)! Thank you again for indulging me with the last ask! I'll come back to it once I'll re-read the books (... why can't I be freeeeeee) but I saw your reblog about the powers of every "main characters" of Acotar, and I was wondering: Is Feyre really as strong as Rhysand? Because, for one, she's a very, a veeery biased character. Her point of view of the IC (of Rhysand especially) is way over the top.

The HL are defined as pure power and yes, they used a drop of that to bring her back to life, but if a drop of all of them makes her so strong... what does this mean about theirs at 100/99% with all of theirs? Because we didn't actually see them using their true strength and I believe them to be pretty big scary. (something truly magnificent and terrifying, an eerie fae horror... mhm... so much potentiaaaaaal)

I wonder if SJM did forget what she has even said in the past and truly believes Feyre's POV to be the truth, or if she's truly playing with the unreliable narrator trope through her.

Another thing is: could her drops... be consumed? The more power of one of them she uses, the more of it is burned away, until nothing remains.

I think that would be actually so cool and a stake in her powers.

An HC of mine is that if once she loses one - maybe that of Tamlin, since it's the one she uses the most if I remember correctly - and her power lessens... would the mate bond begin to shatter? Would she die if all of them were lost/consumed?

Her powers were never a gift of the cauldron, she's not blessed by the mother, she's... an artificial High Fae. A "fake" High Lady. Is their bond actually real and not maybe a trick, something temporary, or something else altogether?

Why did Rhysand need to make that deal at the start to own her? (I have another theory for the deal that he makes with her at the beginning) And could the death pact be another one to solidify this fickle/fake/other type of bond?

It's all so tricky, because most of the POVs we saw are from people who know almost to nothing about Prythian and we too, as readers, are not omniscient to all of its secrets and traditions.

Most of what we know is thanks to what is told to Feyre, but how much truth is given to her?

If we think about it, especially thanks to acosf (and the other books) we know that Rhysand and the IC omit and lie to Feyre and to other people.

So... idk, I know I lost the plot in my ranting and blathering, but it's something that I know I'll think more about, coming back with a clearer vision! And sorry for this mess of an ask! I know it's a bit over the place, it's mostly me thinking and theorizing on the go lol

I hope it didn't bother you too much and If it did let me know, and I will stop with these ask!

I hope you're having a great day/night! ♥

Yes I love this questionnn

Never stop with the asks, I love them so much! (We def gotta come up with nickname ideas, maybe wolf, considering Andras was turned into a wolf)

When I was writing that reblog the first thought to come to mind was where to put Feyre on the scale. Because of how vague the mating bonds and her powers are, I decided to put her with Rhys as it seems to be a common theme to make mates 'equals' in some way. Plus, yeah she's always praising her powers, and SJM seems to have a thing with making her characters OP for no apparent reason.

To kick off with my general answer to whether I think Feyre is actually all that powerful- No, I do not think she is that powerful. I think she thinks she's that powerful due to Rhysand's influence, and being a Daemati, but I do not believe she is the most powerful.

You pointed out a lot of my same reasoning. Mostly around the fact that Feyre is technically an 'artificial Fae' and it appears as though her very being staying alive is completely dependent on the drops of power she was given, plus despite her having a drop of power from each court. It is still only a drop. So why would she be considered equal to the most powerful?

I think SJM genuinely didnt think to far ahead with Feyre's powers and character. It also appears as though she doesnt actually write the magic system in ACOTAR very well compared to her other series. Throne of Glass and CC in my opinion were far better fleshed out when it came to the MC's powers. When it comes to the FMC of this series tho, they never fully reveal their powers and never in a 'foreshadowing' way, but in a 'they just genuinely dont focus on them' way.

This is especially obvious with Nesta when she was locked up in the HoW. She never once trained her magic, rather she was forced to train her body and how to wield a sword. This very much came off to me like the IC was trying to control her rather than help her, but considering that SJM seems to consider what they did genuine help, I will blame her writing rather than intention in this scenario.

Same happens with Feyre, she doesnt train a lot of her power. She doesnt focus on it, rather she trains her body and learns to wield a sword. Her magic is rarely focused in on, and really only comes into play when it's convenient for the narrative.

The only real inkling we get of how much magic Feyre technically wields is in the scenes where they are going on about equality (that isnt real equality) and how Feyre and Rhysand are equals in every way, including in power.

Ofc we never actually see them being equal in power, but thats what SJM has decided is happening.

I call it bad characterization and considering that Feyre's arc appears to be over and we arent focusing in on her anymore, I highly doubt any of this will be expanded on or rectified.

Anyway, thats just my rambling. But I like your idea of Feyre's drops of magic 'burning out' that seems like a very interesting idea for a fic! You have a good night/day too!
