[Forsaken Request]

How about Killer!Reader who kind of represents Death?? Maybe like Noob Saibot from Mortal Kombat? (in which we finish off the survivors in the most bloodthirsty ways possible, just like MK fatalities).

You can do it with Killers or Survivors, I'll be happy with either! ^-^

Ty!!🤑

OUHH HELL YEAH🔥

i play MK from time to time but im not too familiar with the lore sooooo,,, im kinda going into this blind

this request immediately struxk my intrest omg i love characters like that

haha bannerbanner banner(like alywayscoughs)

typos, spelling mistakes and possibly ooc ahead,, (even though i TRIED to keep them ic 💔)

Forsaken Killers × Death!Killer!Reader

1×1×1×1｡𖦹°‧

You're geniuenly one of the only robloxians in this place that can get him to shiver a bit (and impress them)

Your presence just unsettles her in some way, or at least it did at first.

After a while, and when they got used to it, used to you

And he DEFINITELY loves watching your gameplay, the way you rip apart all the survivors with no second thought. (especially a certaint someone,)

He definitely knows you're a version of death thats visible to the robloxian eye, she just has no idea how the Spectre manadged to get you here,,,,

Not like shes complaining tho

John Doeִֶָ𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ

As little of him thats still left in that vessel of who he was once before, he can STILL feel that little shiver when you pass by,

And he just,, stares. Quite rude, huh?

He cant really tell what hes feeling, but oh well.

Although, he does like watching you kill all the survivors, especially with how brutal you are with most of them.

Just makes it a little bit more enjoyable to him, you can only guess whatever hes thinking about behind those dead eyes.

Noli-.ᐟ.ᐟ

He knows whats up alr,,,,,,

The first second he saw you he went all cartoon heart eyes,, 'zoo wee mama' type shi

You were,, not impressed, choosing to ignore him for most part.

He KNEW you were basically the GRIM REAPER but he still pursued with his stupid little flirts and corny remarks about how good you look or make him feel.

Watching you server-wipe in the most bloodthirsty way is his absolute favorite thing to pass time now. He will just stare at the TV, spectating you and kicking his legs like a highschool girl.

Mafioso🂱⚔

He was,, quite frightend, actually.

Even though he doesnt quite show it, (since in his eyes its considered weakness) but he was absolutely TERRIFIED of you at first.

He was clenching his buttocks whenever you sat down next to him in the cabin, because you're the GRIM REAPER? is he the ONLY one here questioning this????

But he did warm up to you after a bit, seeing that you DID infact have (some?) sort of humanity left in you but it took awhile (probably since hes the only killer thats for the most part a 'normal' robloxian)

And he still gets chills sometimes when he watches you in rounds,, it is kinda hypnotizing in a way.

And when he realized what he was feeling, everything crumbled for him.

His men noticed first too, the way he was stealling random glances at you, hoping you wouldnt notice.

And as much as they tease him about it, they know he'll never actually tell you,

(wow guess who i like to write for the most ahaha,,,,,,,)

wowow gulps i hope this is fine anon but im feeling like booty so i did NOT wanna do jason and ck 💔💔 if you wanted one of them specifically them say so in the inbox and ill update it lol

meowmeowmeowmeow hope you enjoyed

Hey

I have always wanted to rp and while I haven't been playing wow in a while it sounds really cool to dive further into the world that way? Would you have an idea on how one could could get into that? C:

Hi!

The Roleplay community in wow is definitely a hidden one so happy to share and help you get your footing!

Do you want to play Horde or Alliance? That choice may influence which server you will pick. Moon Guard is primarily Alliance, but it does have a small horde community. Wyrmrest Accord is the inverse with a big Horde community and smaller Alliance one. However now that guilds are cross server AND cross faction the barrier between these servers is starting to thin. Essentially you are really picking one server over the other for random chance world rp encounters and even there rpers have “anchor groups” for people to hop servers or phases and be in the same space for big events.

How do I find people to roleplay with? You can always walk through Stormwind or Orgrimmar on MG or WrA but the best way to get consistent rp is through guilds. Each guild is essentially a massive dnd group. Some are so big they basically have guilds within their guilds.

On top of guilds there is a massive network of discords that communities use to coordinate server wide events like the Tournament of Ages or Conquest on Moon Guard. Guilds will also advertise in these discords and open events usually advertise there as well!

You can also search the WoW forums of these servers for events and guilds to join.

Do I need addons? Yes! Addons are essential for rping. Three addons are a must Total Roleplay 3, emote splitter, and Listener/snooper.

Total Roleplay 3 or TRP is essentially a character sheet that players can mouse over you and read. You can describe your character, the way they sound, or act in glances, write a short bio, and more.

Emote Splitter - This addon with allow for you to write and post long emotes and it will split it up for you based on wow’s chat character limit.

Listener/Snooper - wow rp can be an overwhelming amount of text sometimes. This addon will ping you if someone says your name and will allow you to mouse over a character and see exactly what they said.

What lingo should I know?

OOC - out of character

IC - in character

(Text) - This is a comment being said oocly

Para - this player likes to write in descriptive paragraphs

Mirror - this player will mirror your style

Any other tips? Elune yes. Write your emotes on a google doc or something connected to the cloud. Crashes happen and you will lose an emote you spent 3 minutes writing in a flash.

/e - this creates that descriptive orange text. There is a range on this so if a player is out of range they may not see your emote. If you would like to remove your name from the descriptive text type “/e |”

Grab a bunch of elixir of tongues! They are always good to have on hand in case you run into an opposite faction player.

There’s a lot of toys and potions out there that do cool stuff! Keep your eyes open for them!

I hope this is helpful for you and others!!

[lgcnathan]

*guess_who's_back_back_again.mp3* hi all ! thank you so much all the warm welcome (back's) 🤍 i'm kristin / admin *, and for those of you who don't know, nathan is my previous third-turned-second muse before i dropped out of the rp completely back in may of last year. i've still been around doing graphics, but nathan has always had a special place in my heart – and i knew that if i were to return with a muse, it would be with him. so when soobin opened up, i knew this was my one and only chance !

that being said, nathan is ~pretty much~ the same but ofc different in ways. his timeline is a continuation from where he was ic-wise last year, and you can read more under the cut about what his life is like now in the post-type zero era of his career. i've also linked his previous introduction that includes more of his backstory before he came to legacy for your reference !

now, without further ado, please like or reply to this post if you want to plot ! and if we plotted before, please don't feel like we need to keep the same connection – i'm practically starting from scratch here, and i'm excited to see what the future holds for nathan + all of you !

because i am an admin, you can easily reach me here or on the main. alternatively, you can find me on twitter or discord – just ask for my username, and i'll add you !

super stoked to be back here in my favorite place with my favorite people – let's get this party started 🥳

tl;dr on his backstory is that he (1) grew up in new york city, (2) acted out a lot because of parental neglect (re: being raised in boarding schools his whole life), (3) ended up in korea because the school board threatened to expel him after a prank-gone-wrong, (4) auditioned for legacy after his npc-big brother got signed to the company, (5) stayed because it was the first time in his life he ever got praised for literally anything and, wow, very much attention and affection-starved from the get-go, and (6) debuted in type zero in april of 2021 after four years of training!

now ... where, oh, WHERE do i even begin? like i mentioned in my ooc post when i dropped, nathan ultimately left type zero because of massive burnout. at the time, he was practically hard-carrying the group's promotions with his solo activities, and the burden of maintaining type zero's 'status' in the industry was eventually too much for him.

it was a lot for him, okay. not only was he dealing with the emotional turmoil that came from being in a group with so many line-up changes and differing opinions from the public, he was succumbing to the pressure of all these expectations placed on him that he (as he knows now) never felt properly prepared for before his debut.

the first few weeks after his departure, he had an extended staycation with his grandparents in the outskirts of seoul before flying back to nyc for some much-needed r&r.

since he was still signed to legacy even after leaving type zero, he returned to training after about three months of 'vacation' – so he's only been full-time training for a little over six months now.

he's been avoiding, basically, everyone – previous managers and stylists and other staff members, other debuted idols in the company, and, of course, the type zero members.

he's so ashamed of himself, for giving something up that (as he first-hand witnessed himself!) hundreds of kids only dream of after sacrificing their childhoods, their youths, their critical developments years all for the goal of becoming an idol.

and he's embarrassed, for obvious reasons. when he left type zero, he was practically at the top of his game, but now? now he's stuck in the basement, in the hallways of dance studios and practice rooms, surrounded by unfamiliar faces that whisper and gossip as he passes by. he's visibly older than most trainees now, and his energy nor enthusiasm can barely keep up anymore.

before, nathan thought he could take the world on by storm – that no matter what problem or obstacle, he could bulldoze through with sheer willpower alone. but now he's scared, and more jaded. the idol industry isn't anything like they tell you to believe, and there truly are things you can only learn through real-life experience.

but at the end of the day, nathan knows why he's still here, why he's tormenting himself by going through this rigorous training process again. he loves it. he loves it so much, and so much more than wanting to run away from it all once again.

For Talk Shop Tuesday, is there a character that you’ve gotten better at writing over time? What have you learned about them by writing them?

Caitlin still challenges me, but after Right At Home, I feel like I have a better understanding of her than I did before I started writing it. It's tempting to just play into the ice queen thing and write her as standoffish and uptight, but that's not really how she is. Like, yeah, she definitely has her moments, but when you really look at her character across the seasons, she's actually a very warm person, it's just that she has a lot of emotional baggage and trauma that she doesn't know how to deal with, so it sometimes manifests in unhealthy ways. The Caitlin we see meeting Cisco for the first time is very different from the Caitlin we see meeting Barry, and that's because pre-particle accelerator Caitlin has found a place where she belongs, and she wants to make the people around her feel as comfortable and included as she now feels, and post-particle accelerator Caitlin has just lost everything she was looking forward to in life, and now she's drifting aimlessly and just trying to get through each day one at a time (also I just realized that she and one of my OCs have that in common and WOW, that's a trip).

One really interesting thing I've learned about her is that a lot of her life is marked by loneliness and feelings of abandonment, and she simultaneously has a fear of being left all alone, and a tendency to make herself be alone because that's what she's accustomed to. I mean, she's an only child, she wasn't popular in school, she lost her dad when she was young (then he came back and was evil), her mom is emotionally unavailable, she lost her fiancé/husband, her boss and mentor turned out to be a supervillain, her next boyfriend turned out to be a serial killer—if Killer Frost hadn't been presented first as Caitlin's repressed emotions and then retconned as a side effect of an ALS preventative, there'd be a pretty good argument to be made that Caitlin conjured her up as a solution to being lonely.

Sometimes the way she copes with that feeling is by being the first to leave, that way no one else gets the chance to, and other times she deals with it by being very friendly and hospitable, because she doesn't want anyone else to feel the way she has so many times in her life. And she doesn't even always feel that way because she's actually alone; sometimes it's just because she's stuck in her own head, and so used to having to deal with things on her own that she can't see that she has people trying to help her and be her friend, she just needs to let them in. She's very good at noticing when one of her friends is struggling and needs help sorting out their emotions, but when the same is going on with her, she often needs an outward push to recognize that there's even a problem, and she resists help until she's able to see that oh, her friends actually care about her and want her in their lives, and they're coming to her out of concern, not judgment (disregarding season 8, which is just a big ooc fest for everyone). She basically has to learn how to be a part of a family, because her parents both left her (in one way or another) so early.

Now as a bonus answer to this question, Cisco is one character that I've always found pretty easy to write for, but my current project has me delving into sides of him that I don't focus on very often, and that has been a learning experience as well, and also so much fun. Since he is very much alone at the start of this story—and under terrible circumstances, at that—he's on the defense constantly, and that brings out the same kind of hostility that you see in the show when he first meets Harry, or when dealing with Hartley. I also get to play a bit with his dark side in this fic, which is something you don't see very often in canon, but is still very much there, just reined in most of the time, and BOY has that been fun to write. Ultimately he remains the heroic cinnamon roll we all know and love, but he gets to go a little feral, too. As a treat. 💖

[voxofthevoid]

Gosh I love your Gojou and Yuuji characterization SO MUCH. And I don't mean that in like a "wow you copied these characters so exactly from this thing" way but more in a "hot damn you have written these characters so vibrantly that they come to life in my mind's eye" kind of way.

(Which is not to say I don't agree with your characterization; I am a fussy fucker and probably wouldn't be here if I didn't (though you do characters so well I might be here anyway who knows).)

Sorry for all the rambling (and all the parentheses) I just want to make it VERY CLEAR that this is meant in a fully complimentary way but I am sleepy and don't trust myself to have the brain capacity to express myself properly! (And re-reading your "little lamb to the slaughter" fic and throwing my incoherent love at you is more important than sleeping.)

ANYWAY YOU ARE GREAT EVERYTHING IS GREAT HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY/EVENING/WHATEVER

Anon, I can't tell you how flattered I am 💗

Of all my fandoms and fics, JJK is the one where I've been the most...stressed about characterization, let's say. Sure, OOC and IC are, to a large part, subject to individual interpretations, but at the very least, I want to do justice to how I view these characters and their relationships. Ideally, I can also make others see my takes on them as reasonable or interesting explorations of canon. It started out with just Gojou and Yuuji, and the bulk of my focus remains on them, but *gestures at my JJK oeuvre* I ended up branching out quite a lot.

Pardon that sleep deprivation–fueled semi-digression, but basically, I'm trying to say that this is exactly the kind of sentiment that makes me the most happy, especially in this fandom. Thank you so much!!

I greatly appreciate both the rambling and all the parentheses! I am...also sleepy, so high five ✋

[chickenmetenders]

Request from @cucumbersncheese :

Mamiya and natsume at a new ice cream that just opened up aka basically an ice cream date that mamiya initiated but natsume is oblivious (Highschool au)

Sorry if this is ooc, I'm delusional. But also this is a human au, so I guess that's inherently gonna be delusional. Also there's a single spoiler for DDD in here

It was like watching Kirby inhale his food whole.

"Don’t you get brain freeze?" Natsume grumbles as Mamiya practically unhinges his jaw and swallows an entire scoop of ice cream, all in one bite.

Mamiya’s lips end up absolutely covered in beige cheese-cake colored cream, and Natsume watches in morbid fascination as Mamiya’s tongue pokes out and licks it all off--and then Natsume realizes he’s staring and quickly looks away.

Mamiya loudly smacks his lips. "No," he finally answers. "But I’m so touched by your concern, Natsume."

Then Mamiya bites off half of his scoop of matcha ice cream. Natsume shudders--despite how warm the spring afternoon is in this park, he can still imagine the sensation of blisteringly cold ice on his teeth.

He glances down at his own single scoop of chocolate ice cream instead. Mamiya had made fun of him for ordering something so plain and boring, but what was wrong with that? Natsume likes chocolate ice cream! He takes a lick of his ice cream. It’s a small lick. A sane one. Mamiya ate with a hunger matched only by that of Monkey D. Luffy, but Natsume is a regular human with a regular appetite. No need to try to wolf everything down.

Ooh. This was pretty good.

Natsume takes a slightly bigger lick. When he looks up, Mamiya is smirking at him.

"Tastes good, right?"

Mamiya was, unfortunately, correct. But Natsume isn’t going to just flatter his ego like that. "It’s ice cream," he says defiantly. "It’s not like ice cream is ever not good."

"But it’s really fucking good ice cream, right?" Mamiya leans in to elbow Natsume’s side. "You’re glad I dragged you out to that food truck, right?"

Mamiya stays pressed up against Natsume’s side even after he lowers his elbow. Ugh, this guy had no sense of personal space. Natsume lightly shoves him away. "Shut up."

"You’re too stubborn to admit it. But it’s okay. I know how you truly feel." Mamiya clasps a hand to his chest. "I can read your heart, Natsume."

Natsume takes another disgruntled lick before replying. "Really? And what is my heart saying now?"

Mamiya closes his eyes and furrows his brows is faux concentration. "Hm, let’s see… Yes… Your heart… I can hear it speak to me… It’s saying… It’s saying…! That you want to go on the swan boats with Mamiya!"

He was such a weirdo. "No, it’s not."

But Mamiya insists. "Wow, Natsume! I didn’t know you wanted to share that kind of experience with me!"

"That’s because I don’t!"

Mamiya clicks his tongue. "You’re no fun. What have the swan boats ever done to you?"

"It’s not the swan boats that are the problem, it’s you, Toujou Mamiya!" Natsume yells. He huffs. "And anyway, they’re not going to let us on when we’ve got food on us."

He eyes Mamiya’s tall stack of ice cream. Reds and green and browns and beiges--Mamiya has an unholy combination of ice cream flavors in his cone, four scoops high. Oh, wait--he finished the scoop of rocky road. Three scoops high, now. Anyone else would probably struggle to finish all of that ice cream before it melted into a puddle of dairy, but Natsume knew from their many years of friendshi--uh, acquaintanceship that Mamiya didn’t just eat a lot, he ate fast.

Mamiya makes a contemplative sound. "So if we want to ride the swan boats--"

"Stop saying ‘we!’ There is no 'we!’"

"So if we, the two of us, Natsume Souichirou and Toujou Mamiya, wanted to ride the swan boats, then we’d just have to finish our food, right?"

Natsume stares at him, a mounting sense of realization rising in his mind.

Mamiya smiles at him, and then shoves half of the rest of his ice cream cone in his mouth.

…One scoop high, now.

Mamiya keeps smiling as he chews on the ice cream in his mouth and Natsume stares at him in utter bafflement--but then suddenly Mamiya’s eyes go wide and he hurriedly swallows everything down and clutches his head.

"Ow ow ow ow," Mamiya says.

"Hah!" Natsume exclaims. "So you do get brain freeze!" Schadenfreude is real and feels delightful. It’s always great fun to be reminded that despite Mamiya’s monstrous appetite and overall general weirdness, he really is just a human.

"Arggh," is Mamiya’s eloquent response. He looks kind of funny, writhing in pain with cream all over his mouth and chin.

Kind of funny, but mostly gross.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, his brain reminds him. Sighing, Natsume decides to take pity on Mamiya and pulls out the wad of napkins he’d stuffed into his pants pocket when they were at the ice cream truck. He’d been expecting Mamiya to make a mess out of his food, honestly--although not quite in this fashion.

"Would it kill you eat like a normal person?" Natsume asks, handing the napkins over to Mamiya. He scrunches up his face. "Ewugh. Don’t let that stuff get on your scarf."

Mamiya shivers one last time, then grabs the napkins and wipes them over his mouth and chin. "Shaddup, you can't tell me what to do."

"Suou Keito would be devastated to learn that you treat his present so carelessly."

"Hop off my dick," Mamiya grumbles. Then he glances between them. "Oh, look. Now we both have one scoop of ice cream!"

Natsume takes a little nibble off his ice cream. He’s not a slow eater, okay? Mamiya was just abnormally fast. "I guess so."

"This was destiny all along!"

"No, it's not! I'd rather die than be destined for anything with you!"

They keep bickering even after they’ve finished their ice creams, even as they’re waiting in line for the swan boats, and even after they’re settled on board. They only stop once Natsume stumbles trying to take a photo and falls into the lake--and when the life jacket bobs him up to the surface of the water, all he can hear is Mamiya laughing hysterically above him, so then he grabs Mamiya by the foot and drags him into the water, too.

An average day of hanging out with Mamiya, all in all.

Human au headcanons:

Mamiya and Minato are twins

Natsume, Mamiya, and Keito are childhood friends

Natsume thinks of himself as Natsume despite Souichirou being his first name. Everyone except for his parents refers to him as Natsume (although perhaps Keito called him "Sou-chan" in the past? Would be cute)

ꕥ — IC INFORMATION;

name: gintoki sakata (first, last) age: 29 pronouns: he/him series: gintama canon point: post ending. app triggers: mentions of war, alcoholism

personality:

carefree, lazy, good-for-nothing. the general ways most people describe gintoki! he is a samurai that frankly doesn’t give a shit about pretty much anything. he’s spends most of his time laying around and reading JUMP, and if not that he’s taking a nap, watching TV, or something of that sort. if he finds something too difficult to deal with he just runs away. literally. things including paying rent, owing debts, fights, etc. if things can be seen as “a pain” he’d rather not participate. especially if it’s needless fighting, he is very intent on saying it’s a waste of energy and he’d rather not, despite in most cases being able to defeat someone in a fight.

gintoki is considered childish and irresponsible by many. he’s a grown man, but he certainly doesn’t act like it a majority of the time. besides avoiding important responsibilities like paying rent, he complains about pretty much anything. even if he put himself in that situation, you’re going to hear him whine regardless. he tends to impulsively spend his money, especially on things like alcohol and gambling, never learning his lesson despite the suffering he goes through because of it. another wonderful quality of his is that he has an extremely short temper and can be a huge asshole. riling him up is extremely easy, but his anger usually progresses to the point of violence. however, he can simmer down just as easily… he’s also rather forgetful, with responsibilities and in general. new faces? it will probably take a couple times for him to actually remember. despite basically being a bum, gintoki is capable of taking things seriously and putting an effort forward.

he is very loyal to his friends & family. gintoki values promises like he does his life, so if he gives you his word–he will do everything in his power to not let you down. he greatly cares about the people important to him and will protect them with his life, to the point where it’s overly dangerous and reckless. due to past failures, he sees little value in his own life and doesn’t shy from putting himself in dangerous situations. the samurai is pretty apathetic towards anything bad that may happen to him.

something your muse struggles with: coping with his trauma :skull:your muse’s greatest strength: sticking to his beliefs

history / background: wow… the backstory of the sakata gintoki from gintama .. shield your eyes now…

gintoki was known as the “corpse eating demon” as a child. he was an orphan since birth and survived by taking anything he could find off of dead bodies to live. he taught himself how to use a sword and was even capable of beating adults just as a child. however one day he was encounter by a mysterious man by the name of yoshida shoyou, who essentially adopted gintoki and taught him how to read, write, and use a sword properly.

from here on he traveled around with shouyou, who eventually opened a school for poor children to learn how to become samurai. this is where he met his childhood friends, katsura kotarou and takasugi shinsuke. they both became shouyou’s students as well and the school traveled around together. however one day, when gintoki and the others were teenagers, shouyou was arrested and taken away. thus started the final wave of the war, lead by shouyou’s students. the students were joined by a fellow teenager named sakamoto tatsuma, and the four of them together lead the armies. they were known as the joui 4. gintoki in particular was known as a legendary rebel, the shiroyasha.however the war ended rather tragically, and gintoki was stuck between two promises. no matter what his choice, he was going to lose something. but in the end, he lost everything.

now fast forward 10 years, gintoki runs a business called yorozuya gin-chan! he does odd jobs for a price! this is also when he meets shinpachi and kagura, and the three of them become the yorozuya together. he has no choice but to deal with him… the yorozuya goes on many journeys together around edo, makes plenty of friends, and gets into a lot of trouble. if you want to know the details well you better just watch gintama!!

powers / abilities:

none bc he is literally just a guy with a sword

inherent abilities:

he basically has superhuman strength but he is just a guy with no special powers. he is a normal guy i promise. it’s one of those shounen things where it’s only relevant when he’s fighting or something.

masterful swordfighter. he IS a samurai. quick to adapt to other weapons as well.

items / weapons:

lake toya sword– a bokuto (wooden sword) that gintoki always has on him. it’s like his trademark thing. plus it seems to be insanely strong for just a piece of wood.

his moped. he CAN drive.

starting ability: n/a! starting item: lake toya sword

extra:

so gintoki breaks the fourth wall, it’s just a gintama thing. i will do this with moderation and ask anyone who’s interacting with him’s permission before it gets too wild (:

he’s like… one of those bi disaster mentor guys dad adjacent

Jonah Simms relationship hc's time cause i love him, he's criminally underrated (so is the show superstore it's amazing) and i have so many hc's (might be ooc but who cares really)

(also didn't proof read once again, sorry for the mistakes and bad grammar im borderline illiterate sometimes)

<>

as friends

as the show already established, the man starves appreciation and approval, which he will eventually get from you after many failed attempts at breaking the ice.

after you start spending time with him, you discover that he's kind, gentle, always willing and eager to help. at first it's a bit unnerving cause it's not common to meet people like that (plus he can be a little too naive and delusional sometimes) but you eventually get used to it. you even come to really appreciate it. you find it cute the way he sometimes stutters and fumbles over his words when explaining concepts and ideas. his clumsiness and tendency to dig his grave in basically every conversation is really funny to witness.

every time you need help with anything, he's always breaking his back and doing his best to fulfill your needs. he gives you lifts when you need to go somewhere far away, if he notices that you haven't eaten in a while (which happens quite often), he will either save you a piece of whatever he's eating or will go to the extent of buying you something to eat etc...

in return for all his kindness, you started doing the same thing for him. helping him, listening to his little rants about dubious health articles or obscure foreign films and whatnot, just making sure that he's okay. when he first noticed the slow shift in your behavior, he thought that it was really sweet of you.

you both became really devoted and committed to the (for now) platonic friendship overtime. you called each other very often, you hung out all the time in the store and then outside, you knew basically everything about each other atp. you enjoyed one another's company very much.

when everything changed

he fell for you first. he always found you beautiful, like, ever since he saw you for the first time but he didn't think too much about it - or rather tried to - until you guys went to the movies one day. it was one of your first hangout outside the store and in the middle of the day. usually you guys went places after your shifts so you were both relatively tired and not really dressed to the max. but this time was different. you agreed to meet each other in front of the movie theater in the early afternoon. you hadn't had an occasion to dress up in a while so you decided to do so today. you put on a little bit of makeup and your favorite floral dress with some white sneakers and your tote bag. you arrived a bit after him and when he saw you, something inside of him set up on fire. it was like he was seeing you again for the first time. all he could say was "wow. you look great !" or "you really look beautiful" and he did so while looking at you straight in the eyes. ever since that moment, he became more aware of you, of your presence and of your closeness. he now noticed all the little and subtle touches and glances you guys exchanged. he became flustered at every time you brushed past him or took his hand.

at first, he didn't want to believe it but when you hug him one time at the end of the day for a thing that he helped you with, it hit him. he liked since day one. he was only lying to himself all this time.

that realisation was painful but also eye-opening. all those times when he looked at you when you were doing something else or smiling at him and when felt funny inside, he could finally put a name on it. it was admiration and love.

for you it came later, but hit you just as hard. it happened while you guys were hiding in the back to take a little break from a hot day of work. you noticed how he was fidgeting and playing with his hands and fingers. you remembered that he always did and that it was one of the first things you noticed about him. oftentimes you openly stared at his hands and fingers while he was talking to you and moving them. you found them absolutely fascinating and also, pretty. so this day, you decided to tell him. you told him you liked what he was doing with his hands all the time and that you found them really pretty. that's when he looked up at you, with an almost earnest face and a strange light was dancing in his eyes. you didn't know if it was happiness, confusion or something else but it caught your attention. he held up his gaze and looked straight into your eyes, you felt like he was undressing you or rather looked inside of you. that's when you took the opportunity to study the fine features of his face, the deep hazel of his eyes and the plumpiness of his lips. he really is pretty, you thought. there was a few seconds of silence, during which you could feel the tension building up between the two of you. "really ?" he finally answered, his voice surprisingly more sultry than usual and a faint blush making it's appearance on his cheeks and ears, or so you thought. you simply nodded yes, too focused on him to talk. "well, thank you." he just answered before turning his back to you and leaving you rather dumbfounded. what happened was almost surreal to you.

and just like him, ever since, you became aware of his presence and of his closeness. it was like your whole world had collapsed and you now saw him as someone that you wanted. someone whose beauty and attractiveness cause your body to react.

living together

when the tornado hit and he lost his home, you immediately asked him if he wanted to live with you. your apparemment was rather spacious, you could use a little help with the rent and above all else, you couldn't leave him to live in a trailer with an insufferable neighbor when you had the possibility to help him. at first, he didn't want to move in with you, because of his growing feelings for you which made him scared of ruining your friendship and thus losing you. he also didn't want to impose.

you thought it was adorable that he worried about such things when his situation was so difficult. you assured him that he wouldn't impose at all, that he was not a burden despite him seemingly thinking so, and that it would be your pleasure to help him after all that he's done for you. that's when he finally gave in and moved in with you.

at first, it was a bit awkward, especially with your feelings for him and everything. you made sure to avoid any contact, because you feared the same thing as him. you didn't want to lose him and since you were sure that your feelings weren't reciprocated, you limited physical interaction.

jonah did the same and honestly, it hurt him a bit. even if you guys were talking and laughing as usual, he missed the touch of your skin on his and the shivers it sent down his spine everytime.

aside from that, you guys lived well together. you had a cleaning and grocery buying planning. he always insisted on cooking and basically doing everything to make your life easier. when he did so, it would put a huge smile on his face which would cause the same to you. seeing him so happy made you feel all kinds of warm inside.

first kiss

it happened on a random evening. you guys were exhausted after working all day and decided to watch a movie before going to bed. it was a long german movie with an incomprehensible plot, just like jonah liked them. during the film, while he was focused on what was happening on the screen, you were mostly in your thoughts. you were debating whether or not confessing to him today, which btw, you wouldn't have been thinking if you hadn't had a little beer at the end of your shift. it was the end of the week, and you were feeling adventurous, and also a but tired of keeping your feelings to yourself while he was literally living in your apartment. you had had enough of it. everything reminded you of him and his lingering coconut and fresh linen scent was everywhere. you couldn't avoid him so you decided to get on with it.

so you put your head on his shoulder.you couldn't feel it but he shivered at your touch against him. he carefully adverted his eyes to your eyes, confused and also a bit happy. since he couldn't see them, he assumed that you were sleeping hence why you inadvertently touched him, after all this time. tbh, he missed it.

when the film ended, as he was about to grab the remote to turn off the tv, you called his name. he realised that you weren't sleeping at all and turned his head to you.

"can i tell you something ?" you stared right in his eyes, determined to get this over with. even if you knew that he would for sure tell that he didn't feel the same and that it would be super awkward afterwards, you weren't going to stop.

"yeah, sure. go ahead."

"this isn't easy for me to say, and it took me some time to admit but... i think i like you."

his eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened. he was shocked. you went on.

"i realized it a few months ago and i didn't want to tell you because i was afraid it would ruin our relationship." you began to explain with tears forming in your eyes. you didn't think it would be this hard to be honest with him and you had started to get overwhelmed. "but yeah the thing is, i really really like you, jonah. and i know that you probably don't feel the same and that im making everything super awkward but-"

that's when he shut you up with a kiss. it was sweet, gentle, almost innocent. his hands were cupping your face and touching your burning cheeks while his lips chastely planted themselves onto yours. after a few milliseconds of shock where you were processing what just happened, you closed your eyes, savouring the moment.

then he pulled back and looked at your teary eyes in between his hands.

"i like you too, you know. i have for quite some time now."

and that had been the official beginning of your relationship.

Hey Kay! Could you do GoM + Kuroko and Kagami where they mess up their confession to the reader (if it's soo many characters you can drop some)

Messing up their confession

⤷Includes: Kuroko, Aomine, Akashi, Kagami, Kise, Murasakibara, Midorima

Warnings: gn!reader, blood, mention of boobs bc Aomine, Akashi feels a smidge ooc, I'm sorry but Mura basically spits on reader 💀

A/n: KnB request, my beloved :') I'm still playing around with characterizations and was drawing a blank for what to write for Aomine and Kashi, so I'm sorry if it feels a bit off!

----------------------------------------------------------

Kuroko

Oh poor sweet, sweet Kuroko

You just came into his life on a whim and he fell hard

It started with you actually noticing he was present

One of your friends was literally about to walk straight into him—which he's used to, so he's already braced for impact—but you reach out and pull your friend away, sending him a warm smile as you walk past

He immediately gets a fuzzy feeling in his chest, a feeling that expands when you end up willingly partnering up with him for an English project

He didn't think being seen and acknowledged by another person would impact him so heavily, but damn is it nice

Kuroko believes in honesty, so once he gets to a point where every little thing you do makes his heart flutter, he decides to confess

He's so cute, he has what he's going to say all planned out to avoid any slip ups :))

You'd think nothing would go wrong with how organized he is and you're right

He does nothing wrong, but Kuroko still has the least amount of presence which leads to the saddest situation

Kuroko planned to confess to you during lunch break. The two of you went to a quiet corner of the school and ate like normally

He was a little shaky, so you asked if something was wrong and that's when he took a deep breath and started vocalizing his feelings

But moments before he formally confessed a boy from your class called your name from down the hall and literally stepped IN FRONT of Kuroko, completely cutting him off

Kuroko was . . . Irritated to say the least, but the icing on the cake is when the rude guy asked you on a date right in front of him

Any confidence Kuroko had was gone, like his entire soul just crumpled in on itself

You, on the other hand, were pissed

Although Kuroko hadn't said the words out loud, you knew exactly what he was going to say and this Bozo just ruined it

So you just flat out "No ❤️" the guy, gather your things, and grab onto Kuroko's hand to pull him into an empty classroom

You coax Tetsu into finishing his confession (he tried to protest, arguing that you wouldn't want to hear what he has to say)

You squeeze his hands reassuringly, which gives him a boost of confidence, and he finishes his confession

Aomine

Please he's so weird

He definitely has a crush on you it just took him a long ass time to realize why his stomach would get all ↗️↩️↙️ whenever he saw you

He didn't even come to that conclusion, it was Imayoshi who was like "Wow do you have a crush on them or something?" After Aomine said something dumb in front of you

Of course Aomine said no, but then he thought about it and had a "Wait a damn minute" moment

Listen he is Whipped, with a capital W, for you

But having a crush isn't going to stop him from looking at dirty magazines

You guys are literally chilling on his little roof hangout and he's actively asking if you want to watch a movie or grab some food together

And this fool is flipping through one of his magazines

He is asking you out while looking at b00bs‼️

Sir . . . That's not really how this whole dating thing works

At least look at the person you're asking out, stop hiding behind pages of women in bikinis 😭

Kise

You were special to Kise, so obviously he can't just give you a boring, old normal confession

He had to do something qUirky and fUn!

He was already confident that you liked him back, so literally anything he did he was sure you'd accept

The most perfect way to confess came to him one night

Or more accurately, his Tik Tok algorithm gave him the perfect confession idea

He was going to do the "Kissing your crush/best friend trend" with you

It was perfect! First kiss and confession all wrapped up in one!

Kise invited you to hang out with him at the Kaijou gym while he worked on some ball handling drills

Which eventually led to the two of you fooling around and trying to make really dumb shots or passes

Kise set up his phone saying he wanted to make a Tik Tok with the two of you acting all silly and you went along with it

But then he started recording and a slightly familiar audio blasted from his phone and then he was leaning in towards you and placed a hand on your hip

And then you slapped him

You panicked and slapped Kise Ryouta on the cheek

It wasn't hard, but it was enough to startle the both of you and make a bought of guilt weigh on him

You started apologizing and then he started apologizing for making you uncomfortable and it was all a huge mess

Kise honestly was close to getting teary when you smacked him. He really thought you liked him, so it was a shot to the heart when you avoided him

The two of you decided to pack up your things and go home because the gym felt a little too awkward now

When he dropped you off at your house, you placed a gentle kiss on the side of his face you slapped to make up for ruining the moment earlier

He pulled you in for take two of your first kiss shortly after

Murasakibara

I don't care what anyone says, Murasakibara is a sweetie at heart

Sure he's a bit blunt, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the people around him

Whenever you're around, Mura just longingly looks at you. He's pretty good friends with you, but he wants more than that and doesn't really know how to act on his feelings

Everyday poor Tatsuya is forced to watch Mura pine after you, but it's like a weird pining because Mura doesn't really talk about you, he just sort of sadly watches you

Tatsuya is at his limit and is basically like "Please just talk to them, please."

So Murasakibara does what he does best, which is dragged people around to different stores to look for new snacks

And you just so happen to be his victim this time

The day was pretty chill, you just shared some snacks and explored the shopping district you were in

Murasakibara was uncharacteristically quiet and had been sort of distracted the entire day, which was cute, but made you a bit worried

The two of you eventually sat down to share one of the foods you picked up from a street stall and Mura just started chattering about you

And technically he did ask you on an official date, but he was also kind of speaking with his mouth full and uh . . . Kinda spit crumbs onto your face

Yeaaaaah it was pretty nast

He tried to casually play it off and apologized while whipping your face clean with his sleeve

He looked unbothered, BUT HE FELT SO BAD ON THE INSIDE

It was an honest mistake, but it's kinda up to you on if you accept or not 💀

Midorima

Oh god, I'm so sorry

Your family moved into the house next to his a little less than a year ago

Midorima hadn't paid much attention to you initially, but then one day you just enraptured him and he slowly started to seek out conversations with you

Just quick neighborly conversations

Which turn into him WALKING to school with you

Yes. Walking. Takao finally gets a break from carting his ass around town

Now, It's well known that Midorima puts a lot of faith into horoscopes

Maybe a little too much

So on a lucky day for cancers, mans gave it his all and asked you on a date while walking to Shutoku

And you said yes! Midorima was super sweet and you'd be lying if you said you weren't a little bit interested in him

He could have stopped there, he should have stopped there, but no

Midorima went on about how compatible the two of you are

And he started spewing out all these random facts about you and he sounded a bit. . . Stalkerish

(How the FUCK does he know your blood type?! YOU don't even know your blood type!)

Yeah talk about uncomfortable . . . You discreetly put some distance between the two of you on the street

Midorima ended up apologizing later and promised he wasn't creepy or anything

(note that he only noticed what he said when he told Takao he had asked you out and told him everything that happened)

Akashi

You may be thinking: "But Kay! How would Akashi mess up on something as important as a confession?!"

Well, your answer is he wouldn't!

Nothing goes wrong . . . Kinda

He doesn't goof up and nothing out of the ordinary happens

Akashi just takes his confession very seriously and tries to convey his feelings fully through his words

You had interacted with Akashi regularly and he was always courteous and refined

You became acquaintances in Rakuzan's library and eventually became book buds (you went to study and he went to hunt down a new novel. Eventually the both of you started sharing a table and you continued to share that same table everytime you were in the library)

You were so confused as to why this golden boy was so interested in spending his leisure time in the library with you, but hey, you weren't complaining!

The day he confessed he asked for you to walk with him around campus once you both left the library

In the quiet of one of the sunset lit hallways he gripped onto your hands and spilled his heart out to you

And it was sweet, but he went above and beyond in his words

Like some of the things made you a bit hesitant because it sounded like he was demanding you go out with him

Shit like: "I would make you the happiest person in the world." "You would be my Emperor/Empress." "My heart belongs to you and would cease beating if you turned me down." "Our future together will be perfect."

Damn, Akashi, maybe chill out a bit?

He'd probably already have some kind of fancy dinner reservation booked

I mean Akashi is super sweet, but that confession was giving 🚩🚩

Kagami

Kagami is a gentleman, but he can also be dumb of ass

You had been helping Riko run practices for a bit and eventually you were just adopted as the Seirin manager

Kagami was drawn to you, originally out of curiosity, but now it's purely because of his massive crush on you

By some grace of God, you hadn't picked up on his affections, but literally the entire team knew

It's that bad . . .

The team is begging him to confess because it's unbearable to watch him flounder everyday

The only problem is that Kagami isn't that great with words is the romantic sense, so he struggles a bit

Until he thinks of what, in his mind, was the perfect way to confess

From his time in America, he vividly remembered that people would ask their partners out by writing on a basketball (or whatever ball they used in their sport)

So he does that, whether that's a good idea or not is to be determined

Kagami writes the most basic "Want to go on a date?" on a basketball and his plan is to pass it to you during practice

You're literally just talking to Kiyoshi when Kagami calls out to you and passes the ball your way

He doesn't even do a bounce pass, this boy does a full force chest pass to you

He didn't even calculate for the height difference, so he absolutely domes you in the face with a basketball

Full contact with your nose, you are now bleeding into your hands to make an effort in stopping the blood from getting onto the court

Riko is handling your injury and literally everyone else is harassing Kagami because "whY the fUcK?! Would you dO thAT?!"

Poor baby feels terrible now

He apologized the entirety of practice and bought you a milkshake after

He properly asked you out then

[vanishcd]

[[ Stiles ships anyone w Scott that loves him, that Scott loves, and who treats him right (so Allison and Kira (and Malia even though I dont count 6b as canon but you better believe he’d think the whole bro-code thing was bs especially since its not like the s1 thing and s.calia got together because they had feelings for each other and not as revenge) )

Basically: he ships Scott with anyone who makes him happy, even if its not Stiles himself ]]

[benbamboozled]

Okay as someone who only tangentially knows about nightwing, I enjoyed the grayson series. I'm a whole-ass lesbian but watching him walk shirtless through a desert carrying a baby? I suddenly understood the whole "being straight" thing. Grayson cured my heterophobia lololol.

ANYWAYS it seems like you've actually read other nightwing comics so I was wondering what your take on the grayson series is? Is it OOC? If not, do you have any other comic recs where I can 👀 that 🍑?

Lol I actually haven’t read Grayson! Because…lol, okay, THIS IS STUPID I AM FULLY AWARE OF THAT, but because I resent the idea that Dick Grayson needed a series where he’s ALSO a super cool hot spy who’s a badass hot spy. ~~~OOOOH GOOD FOR YOOOOOU!!!!~~~

(Yes this is one of my personal foibles, sometimes I resent things for existing because I am odd and petty.)

I’ve thought about reading it for The Pretty, but I know certain fandom circles are, uh…less than enthusiastic about it, and certain other character fans are less than enthusiastic about it (*cough* Midnighter), so I just haven’t decided that I’m open to potentially being grumpified in favor of The Pretty yet.

Basically, I absolutely cannot speak on how IC or not it is. 🙃 I do know that I’ve read two things by Tim Seeley—one I like that a lot of people don’t (Robins) and one that was ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS LIKE TERRIBLE ON EVERY POSSIBLE LEVEL GAG VOMIT UGGGHHHH (Countdown to the Wedding: Red Hood vs Anarky—do not punish yourself with this it is so bad).

Sooooo I have no idea what that says about whether or not I’d appreciate Grayson!

Honestly, though, my Dick Grayson absorption is all over the map, so I’m not so much a great person to give recs I think.

Like, my foundational Dick run (hm) was Devin Grayson’s Nightwing run and, uh, that run is CONTROVERSIAL (to put it mildly), for some reasons that I agree with and some that I don’t. It also left me with a…very particular set of preferences when it comes to Dick Grayson In Comics.

(You know how 1984 starts with “imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever”? Yeeeeeahhhh.)

If you’re in just for the pretty, the current Nightwing run—Leaping Into the Light (kind of a soft-reboot of the premise starting with #78 of the 2016 run)—is REALLY gorgeous. Like…wow. Not so much on a beefcake level necessarily, but like…gorgeous man f-i-n-g-e-r-s-t-r-i-p-e-s acrobatics long legs strong back mmmmmmmm. (I cannot be more coherent than that, just…guh.)

(I do NOT keep up with this book for the plot. The plot is…sigh. Lackluster. And the characterization is…kind of generic. AND IT TOOK NIGHTWING #93—A CONTROVERSIAL YET IMO GROUNDBREAKING ISSUE—AND BASICALLY RE-DID IT IN A WAY I FIND FRANKLY PRETTY OFFENSIVE BOTH TO STORYTELLING IN GENERAL AND THE WAY IT TREATED THE ISSUES ORIGINALLY HANDLED IN THE COMIC. ANYWAY like I said, I’m shallow and into it for the pretty pictures. Also it’s DC, and my evergreen tag “comics are bad and I hate them” is evergreen for a reason.)

I’m certain that other people who follow me have better recs/suggestions, so if anyone who follows me has insight on Grayson or feelings about good Nightwing runs for (*cough*) 🍑-purposes and wants to chime in, feel free! Reblog, reply, whatevs!

(Just, you know…if you have STRONG feelings, try to remember the “don’t yuck someone’s yum” principle. Criticism/analysis+discussion is great, but I try to keep things not suuuuper OTT negative. I don’t want anyone to feel bad about liking things.)

(No yucking anyone’s yum unless it’s Tim Seeley writing Red Hood vs. Anarky. I will never be nice about that comic and nobody can make me.)

Hopefully you’ll get some better info, anon!
