Can you please do a fic where kirishima and kaminari turning into babies and reader have to take care of them but kaminari dont like reader for some strange reason and them resolved it🤩 sorry for bad English 😅

A/N: this was such a cute request! the characters as babies just makes my heart 😚🥰😍 I hope y’all enjoy this one! and your english is great btw!

Warnings: cuteness overload? and some cussing bc bakugo’s here. what do you expect?

Kirishima Eijirou: 

when you woke up to bakugo banging on your door, you knew it was going to be a weird day 

bakugo was notrious for being an early bird, but he usually kept that to himself. so why was he screaming outside your door at 6 in the freaking morning?

“y/n! you have ten seconds to open this fucking door before i—“

you swung the door open with the meanest glare you could muster, ready to cuss him out

“what the hell do you want—“

your voice catches in your throat when you see a sleeping black haired child, no older than two, curled up in his arms 

you stare at the baby

then you stare at bakugo

bakugo stares back in confusion

then it clicks

“IT’S NOT MY FUCKING BABY!!” he explodes

“LANGUAGE BAKUGO!”

“STOP FUC--I MEAN FREAKING ASSUMING THINGS”

you didnt get a chance to respond before he shoves the baby in your arms and tells you it’s kirishima who got hit by a quirk during his internship 

the teachers knew and left him with katsuki, but he couldnt take care of him today bc he had to go to his intership, and he didnt trust anyone else with the child

so that’s how you ended up alone with baby kiripima 🥺

you find out very quickly that kirishima was as energetic as ever, even as a baby 

the minute he wakes up, he nearly jumps out of bed and declares to the entire room 

“g’ mornin’!” 

then he glomps you with the biggest hug 

“y/n! we swol too-day!!”

you figured out that he knows who you are but that’s the extent to which he does 

either way, he’s very excited to spend the day with you 

he’s still extroverted even as a kid and loves being around his friends

when you took him around to meet everybody, he just gobbled up the attention. most importantly, he just loved your attention

he such a show off for you omg 

he’ll be “ultra manly” and clean his mess all by himself 

or when you try and help him wash his hands, he’ll stop you with a determined pout and go “i can do it!” and concentrate really hard on scrubbing his hands clean 

when you’d praise him for eating all his food he’d give you the biggest shark-tooth smile and cutely blush from your words

he still kind of stumbled when he walked but whenever he saw something cool, he’d take your hand and basically drag you with him, excitment in his steps 

and when you showed him the gym?

he was in L O V E 🤩

you may or may not have taken a couple pictures when you saw him attempt to lift a five pound weight 

bath time is fun and easy bc he’s too busy pretending to be a shark to really think about the fact that he’s getting clean

when you tell him it’s bed time, he doesn’t wanna sleep at first. but then you make a sad face and he instantly drops what he’s doing and hurriedly says,

“okay! okay! i sleep! see!?”

goes and gets his blanket and curls up in your bed bc he’s the goodest boy and it’s unmanly to make a pretty person sad!

he looks so small and fluffy that you literally wanna bawl your eyes out 

ahhh he’s just the cutest!!

you lie next to him and decide to take a nap too bc it’s been a long day 

before you fall asleep, you feel the small boy nuzzle into your chest and wrap his arms around your neck 

“night night. luh you,” he whispers before he starts to snore 

like 🥺🥺🥺

you could seriosuly die happy 

the next day, you wake up with a heavier arm around your shoulders. it’s so heavy that you can barely move and it confuses you 

when you open your eyes, you see that kirishima has gone back to normal 

and usually you’d be freaking out bc you may or may not have a small crush on him and now that he was normal sized, you were staunchly reminded of it

but when he pulls you in closer to his embrace, you can’t seem to care rn

for now, you’ll just enjoy this moment

Kaminari Denki:

“Y/N!! watch out!”

you were all kinds of confused when kaminari jumped in front of you to protect you from a villain’s quirk and he disappeared

and just when you were about to freak out, you heard small whimpers and cries 

you looked to the ground and saw that kaminari hadnt disappeared

your best friend just turned into a freaking two year old child 

and you dont think he likes you 

at all 

once you two were brought to safety, it was like denki finally took a good look at who was holding him and just

flipped shit 

he gives you a firm (but cute) frown that makes you blink in confusion

then he suddenly pushes his hands against your chest to try and get away 

“no! stop! i wanna go!”

at first, you thought he was scared so you attempted to soothe him but it’s no use

he’s admant on throwing his tiny temper tantrum

although, when recovery girl takes him to go get checked, he instantly calms down and smiles as she tells him how cute he his 

you can’t say you didnt feel your heart break just a little 💔💔💔

but youre determined to win over his affection bc wth? you’re supposed to be best friends! 

(read: you had a crush on older denki and you couldnt handle the fact that these might be his true feelings towards you and he might actually not like you)

so the entire day, you’re doing everything you can to make the kid at least acknowledge you 

right now, it’s the bakusquad that’s collectively taking care of him for the day, but you’re there to help

you try to tell him jokes babies could understand and he’ll just look at you and turn away 

mina told you that food was the best way to a guy’s heart so you made him his favorite (soft) food as a peace offering

and you were absolutely crushed when he stiffened up and refused to eat it until bakugo scared him into eating 

he turns away and you just 💔😞

after that, you sighed and gave up

you sorrowfully accepted the fact that denki just didnt like you :(

at least you now know your chances of being with him was nonexistent

you made up some excuse to leave the room bc you coudlnt take the heartbreak

everyone pretty much bought into it

all except denki who might have been a child, but he was still as perceptive as ever 

unbeknowest to you, denki didnt really dislike you 

the reason he was acting like a jerk was bc you put yourself in danger during the mission and he was so angry about it 

he didnt know how to confront these feelings so he just ignored you 

but when he saw the silver tears line your eyes, he felt so bad 😭

he didn’t know how to emotion™️

pls don’t leave him :(((

the emotions overwhelmed him so much to the point that he bursted out in tears and wasn’t cosoled by anything 

“come on, bro! what’s wrong!?” sero anxiously asked 

“y/n! i want y/n!”

he didnt have to say it twice 

the group basically shove him in your arms and youre confused when denki latches onto you like a life line bc did he just hate you three seconds ago?

despite your saddness, you comfort him by whispering sweet nothings in his ear and denki is instaneously consoled solely by your voice 

the crying takes a lot of energy from him and he can barely keep his eyes open

but before he sleeps, he softly says, “i wa’ scare-d. sowwy y/n”

again, you’re confused, but you were too tired to think about it so you decide to go to bed and deal with this tomorrow

it’s the next day and your face-to-face with a normal kaminari who’s obviously been awake for some time and looks petrified 

now that he’s older, you’re reminded of everything he put you through and you’re salty af about it

“you still hate me?” you sassily say 

denki’s face erupts in an embarrassed blush and youre surprised when he buries his head in your neck, holding you close to his chest 

without looking at you, he explains his true feelings for you in a really round about way

you pull his face back to look at him and as he sputters out apologies to you, you kiss is nose 

“you idiot. i like you too if that’s what you’re trying to say.”

denki stares before short-circuting and you just laugh as he mumbles happily to himself

Hi! Who's your favorite PnF character? And what headcanons do you have for them? x3

Oh ho ho ho my favorite character 😏

Hmmmmmm wondering.....

It’s fucking Ferb Fletcher

Alliteration at its finest.

First I’m explaining why because if you go through my blog you will find so. So much. Ferb content.

It’s not even my most liked content! That, my friend, goes to Perry the Platypus (my second favorite character, thank you very much). So, it isn’t about likes (like all good things are that aren’t about likes). So what is it?

Also side note I’ve already taken my sleep medication, one of which is an anxiety pill, so that’s why this is so. Hyper I guess is the word.

Scenario: you are a young, semi verbal, probably autistic kid. Your parents have already put you through speech therapy and blamed your sister when you didn’t want to talk, so help them. You also think 16 years old is the epitome of coolness and never want to be 16. You like TV, but more as a morbid fascination. You don’t see yourself on that screen, just caricatures of what you believe you’re going to grow up to be (you won’t, btw). 

Suddenly, there’s a show called Phineas and Ferb. It’s animated (which is already proving to be a preferred genre for you) and the people have weird shaped heads. You’ve seen commercials about it’s premiere but you didn’t think you’d see it! Later you learn it was a rerun, but besides the point! The characters appear and the triangle boy (you don’t remember names, of course) seems like a bitch but you don’t know that word so you don’t think it. You think it’s funny instead.

Then you have a realization. The F shaped boy isn’t.... talking??? He was in the main title! Has as much screen time as the triangle shaped boy! Oh, and triangle boy works with it, not pushing it away????

Do you know how fucking humanizing that feels? I was a kid. I didn’t even know what ableism meant. I still thought that my speech therapist was a baby sitter that played games with my sister and I! Now, Phineas and Ferb is not a perfect show. However. That was the first AND best way I’ve ever seen myself in a character. I normally see myself in the aliens. The robots. The mole people. But there he was. Ferb Fletcher.

Now, you didn’t ask for that. I did. I wanted to say it. So, now onto what you did ask! Theories! What this blog was made for!

He and Vanessa never dated. They were just friends. Fuck that romance bullshit.

Sometimes he gets in moods where he doesn’t shut up. Most the time, these only happen around Phineas because he feels most comfortable around him, but it occasionally will happen around other people

He randomly gets noises stuck in his head but he never lets them out because that only makes them louder to him so they stay stuck in Ferb land

Never fought anyone, but would (for others, of course)

If you ever get into an argument with him, well. The best you can hope for is a soft defeat.

Collects stickers but never sticks them anywhere

Also marbles. Seems like a marble guy.

Doesn’t like water until he’s in The Mood (except water slides :))

Knows the difference between except and accept

Chaotic until lawful. No in-betweens

Random glow up either junior (16-17) or senior (17-18) year. No explanation.

Stylish dude

Popular online

Hates cleaning his ears

Hates having long hair or facial hair

Really likes sunflower seeds

Very picky about Mac and cheese

Actually hates eating a lot of stuff but doesn’t tell Linda or Lawerence cause he doesn’t want to seem ungrateful but, combined with what Lawerence already knew and Linda’s Mom Sense, eventually everyone who cooks for him knows what he does and doesn’t like

Hates the smell of bacon. Not meat. Just bacon.

Really likes muffins

Hates bracelets

Likes charms tho :)

Customizes everything

Can’t stop itching mosquito bites (he puts band aids on them so they don’t bleed)

Never picked his nose. Like. Never (besides the nose picking machine, of course)

Likes turtleneck sweaters :)

Likes vests too :)

Has to get ripped jeans with rips below the thighs because he’ll pick at them otherwise

Actually, he really likes chains on pants as well, but only if they can be unattached

Hates that jumping raisin experiment. Absolute hatred.

It’s so hard to get him to hate someone but once he does :)))))))

Candace and him got along really well until she started hating on Perry and then he went :( and dipped until she stopped

Doesn’t like the number 5

Even though he’s a great editor, he loves shittily editing stuff just to fuck around

Brain goes 😐 sometimes and he can’t stop it

But then again sometimes it goes 🤩

Does NOT like snow

Rain is itchy

Likes Megamind but not as much as Phineas

He and Isabella are best friends

They shop together and talk shit >:)

Will creep people out randomly (sometimes on purpose sometimes not :))

Loves tattoos and he and Isabella get a matching one

Now, that is all for now because I feel sleep threatening to take over me. If you wanna see more Ferb theories well. Just. Look at my blog.

SBI headcanons awooga

Some headcanons and things for my sbi fd! Abandoned amusement park fic lol 

Here's the link if you haven't read it btw 

SBI last name is Reid, DT last name is Jackson btw lmao, i probably won't mention it much though unless it's like Mrs Reid for the sbi mom y'know

This has Tommy, Techno, Wilbur and Phil included; lmk if a dt post would be a good idea too 

Tommy

The youngest brother, he’s seven lmao what a child

Even though he’s the youngest, he’s also the most confrontational and will gladly ‘fight’ anyone who talks bad about his brothers 

He can’t fight

He’s very tall for his age but is also extremely light since he’s always running around 

Phil tries to get him to try new foods a lot but Tommy’s a really picky eater

...Tantrums.. Every time he doesn’t get his way

This lead to his brothers spoiling him quite a bit, he’s still sweet enough though since Phil has had many stern conversations with him about being nice to people 

Has a toy music boy, with collectable discs

Wilbur got his first disc for him, it’s his most prised possession 

Every time he does all of his chores (which are really just small things like clean up after himself and keep his room tidy) someone, whether its his Mum, Wilbur or someone else, gets him a new disc 

Techno got him ‘Pig step’ for his seventh birthday and he listens to it every night before bed 

One time he snuck downstairs while Techno and Wilbur were having a sleepover and watched the horror movie they were watching without them realising it. Techno and Wil were the ones to get into trouble since Tommy wouldn’t sleep for a week afterwards. 

Techno had to read him a story every night until he stopped thinking he was going to be eaten by a demon in the middle of the night 

Drinks way too much caffeine for a kid, someone take this boys coke away

He’s got a habit of biting his nails, which has left him with some pretty crooked teeth, which will probably need to be fixed with braces when he’s older. 

It’s also gross because he climbs so much there’s almost always dirt under his nails 

Hasn’t really grasped the whole concept of not saying everything he thinks yet

Oh my god someone shut this boy up

He still believes in Santa and The easter bunny too

One time Techno told him Oogie Boogie from the nightmare before christmas was real and he cried

He talks a lot in school because he finds it boring but he’s also very good at maths and English for his age

Wilbur 

Middle child, Wil is 13. Techno’s twin 

He’s pretty insecure about his music even though he’s been playing his whole life

That’s why he likes being able to practice in L’manburg, there’s no pressure to be perfect when he’s alone with his brothers 

Super extroverted and confident in everything else though, Since Techno can’t talk to most people, he usually tries to speak for both of them

After realising that Techno didn’t really like it when he said ‘Techno thinks’ a lot, back in primary school, he adapted to trying to speak for what Techno wants without making Techno’s issues obvious

They tell people who need to know, but for people they’ll only talk to a few times they usually just get away with Wilbur acting super obnoxious and loud so it seems like Techno just doesn’t have room to talk, rather than that he can't 

It’s easier than getting into it since they don’t feel like most people will understand

has separation Anxiety, when he’s not with his brother he doesn’t relax/ feel safe at all. If it happens at school he won't do his work at all/ Will probably just leave the room and try to find Techno

Everyone kinda knows this and they try to suit things around it without saying it outright 

He’s kinda embarrassed, he likes to think he’s the one protecting Techno but really they need each other the same amount 

Techno gets this though, He doesn’t mind if wilbur has a bit of a saviour complex, he’ll play along if it makes him happy 

They’re working on it with their Therapist though so don’t worry, he won't grow up to be an ass

Interests (besides music) include: 

Watching obscure documentaries 

Disney movies, favourite is peter pan 

  Skating 

He and Techno got Picked on in primary school for being so close, he learnt kickboxing so he could defend himself if things ever got physical. Luckily they didn’t but he still knows how to kickbox so watch out

Almost always turning in homework late, he’s good at talking his way out of Detentions though. 

And when he cant talk his way out, Techno finds a way to get detention too

He’s VERY protective of his younger brother(s(he was born first so he likes to insist that Techno is his little brother)) 

That’s good for the most part but he can be a little overbearing sometimes, he’s got detention many many times for cussing out people who so much as looked at Techno wrong 

When he’s feeling guilty he mumbles a lot 

Techno 

Middle child, 13. Wilbur’s twin

Has selective Mutism, completely fine talking to Wilbur, Only talks to Tommy and Phil if Wil is there too but other than that he’s completely fine talking to them as well. He speaks to his parents but not as openly as he does with his brothers, with them its usually very quiet, one word sentences 

Like Wilbur, separation Anxiety also, It’s not as bad as Wilbur’s is though, Wil just makes him comfortable enough to talk with his brothers, he can deal with being without Wilbur but he absolutely doesn’t want to

He can be a bit arrogant and possessive of his brothers at times, he’s a bit scared of them leaving him because he can be so difficult so he has a tendency to be cold to any new people they bring home 

Interests include: Pvp games, ancient china, farming

He was hyper-fixated on a cartoon when he was younger and now he has multiple cosplays from it that he’ll probably never wear again

His hair is LONG and pink, they never figured out why it grew so fast or why it was pink but it is lmao 

When he was born his parents were terrified, they thought he had some kind of rare condition that was going to hurt him but the doctors eventually came to the conclusion that he just had healthy hair that grew fast and the pinkness was due to an abnormality in the melanin in his system or something idk fellas im failing science pls pretend this part makes sense 

Being silent with long pink hair as a kid, he got picked on a lot. There were many instances where he just pushed kids over or hit them because they were being mean 

Since he’s the quiet one, teachers usually trust him a lot so he and wilbur used to skip class a lot, back when they got picked on, by saying they had to help another teacher do something

In an attempt to get him to be more social, his parents signed him up for violin lessons aged 8, he really liked his teacher and had even managed to speak a little to her over the past 4 years he took lessons 

Spaces out a lot 

He watches a lot of conspiracy theory videos but he doesn’t actually believe any of them, he just finds them interesting

One time he convinced Tommy they were living in a simulation and Tommy hit a kid to see if his hand would pass through

He’s spoken a few words to squidkid too since they’re childhood friends and he’s very comfortable with him. Ironically all he seems to say to him is ‘bozo’ to tease the other for saying it so often, instead of literally any other insult

Phil 

Oldest brother, 16 

Cares about his brothers so so so so so much like he will do anything to keep them happy and safe

One time he missed an exam because Tommy was sick and he wanted to take him to the doctor before anything else

Tommy was fine btw, just one of those bugs you get when you're little

Their parents are pretty distant so Phil has been pretty much raising them since he was little, he doesn’t mind though

Their parents aren’t bad people or anything, they just get called out a lot for work and can’t be at home a whole bunch, it’s a big part of the reason why Techno never got comfortable talking a lot around them

He works at a Nearby florist to get extra cash to buy his brothers things when his parents arent home

When their mum is home, he brings her flower arrangements home from work because he is sweet <3

He’s really into mythology and Folklore as well as drawing, when he was younger he had multiple sketchbooks filled up with different creatures that he had drawn 

When he, techno and wilbur were all little, he used to play a game with them where they’d describe a monster off the tops of their heads and he’d draw it for them 

Techno and Wilbur loved this and always put up Phil’s drawings on their bedroom walls 

When he was 13 he used to write angsty poetry, He told wilbur about it one day and that's when wilbur first started adding lyrics to his songs 

He can be pretty gullible, he likes to believe that people mean good no matter how hard it might be to see it that way 

He can hold grudges for a pretty long time, he’s quick to forgive when it’s himself that’s been hurt but it’s very very hard to get on his good side again if you hurt his brothers 

Watches Alien theories with techno, unlike techno he actually believes in them

Has the ‘i believe in aliens’ poster 

When they were little, he used to grow strawberry plants with techno and Wilbur, this is what prompted techno to start growing other vegetables in their garden himself

[kvngjoong]

mingi + nsfw a-z

you can tell who my bias is after this, but i’m not apologising. I actually considered myself a soft mingi stan but after this i’m not sure. If this is how i see mingi, my soft baby, idk what hongjoong’s is gonna be like

A: Aftercare

he probably wouldn’t know what to do really, but he would make an attempt. honestly the aftercare would be more centred on him and making sure he is okay bc he is smol and needs to be cared for. but he would still check you’re okay and honestly, the majority of aftercare with mingi is you both making sure all is good, cleaning up a little and probably doing something dumb afterwards like nothing even happened

B: Body part

he likes his shoulders because you like them and for him that’s a big plus. he really likes it when you leave marks on him there because it’s sensitive and because he likes to have a hand in your hair as you straddle him and tell him that he’s a good boy. as for you, he really likes how generally small you are compared to him and that you can still put him in his place and tell him what to do. also probably likes your ass/tiddies since he’s a bit of a newbie

C: Cum

he cums more than the average guy, but he’s good at listening to you and wants to please you, so whatever you want him to do with it, that will happen. he’s a fan of cumming either in your mouth, or on your chest - but he regrets telling you that because now you only let him do that if you think he’s been good enough

D: Dirty Secret

he kinda, really, wants you to choke him. he’s not sure how to approach it, mostly because it’s a topic that isn’t the easiest to approach (and he’s not just gonna say btw babe can you choke me tonight). he tries to encourage it a bit, he’s extra loud when you’re rough with him and you bite him a little harder, but he really wants you to just put your hands around his neck and choke him a little. he would literally cum on the spot

E: Experience

he seems like he would be one of the least experienced in ateez, but that might be wrong. like, he knows what everything is and probably knows about the whole dom/sub thing (hence why he knows he’s a sub, and automatically subs when you guys first do the yanno) but he’s yet to have actually tried a lot of it

F: Favourite Position

as long as you’re on top, he is very content. he likes seeing you bounce on him, so cowgirl or reverse cowgirl is a preference of his that you’re happy to oblige to. he rarely tops (that doesn’t mean he can’t) but when he does he likes it too because he thinks it’s more intimate and again, he likes how small you are underneath him (he can take care of you sometimes, too). so it depends on the mood he’s in, really

G: Goofy

he can be, but he’s not usually. when he’s in a sub mindset he’s there to please you and listen to you. if it’s less of a dom/sub situation, he isn’t impartial to crack a joke here or there, or make you laugh over some weird ass comment he makes. he feels comfortable with you and it shows in his actions. he will mostly roll of your energy though, so if you’re in the mood to take things less seriously, so will he

H: Hair

probably doesn’t shave or manscape, just kinda leaves it. he didn’t know what to do with it so thought doing nothing was the answer, which is fine

I: Intimacy

he can be intimate, but it’s not always. there are special times when he is extra soft and just wants to hold you, which lead to sex and he will top and that will be soft and he will tell you that he loves you and stuff, but that is occasionally and not each time. that isn’t to say there is no intimacy in everything that’s done - he knows that there is love and trust behind everything you do together

J: Jack Off

this is talked about more for yearning, but mingi has been taught by you that to be a good sub he needs to ask you for permission and wait for you before he does anything. he would get a bit of a guilty conscience, especially if you’ve been together a while, if he was to jack off without you giving him permission to do so. this isn’t always the case and he will still occasionally succumb to his urges and run to the bathroom, especially when you’re not around or you’re busy and he needs some relief

K: Kink

considering that, when i started writing san’s version of this, i had to stop to write size difference in all caps on mingi’s version, i think that it is pretty clear mingi has a thing for how small people are next to him. not just height, his everything is big. but he’s also a massive sub. like the biggest sub in ateez. he isn’t a power bottom, he just wants to please and he’s all ears for what you want him to do. he probably doesn’t have it in him to actually dom unless you teach him how to (and maybe he would enjoy that, but he would always be too afraid to actually dom you). other than that, he would be pretty vanilla - but he’s game for anything you want to introduce. he would be pretty vocal if he didn’t like something and he’s not afraid to use the safe word for the reason you introduced it. he wants to please you, but he’s not gonna do something he’s not comfortable with - not that he actually doesn’t like that much in the end, anyway

L: Location

prefers the privacy of his/your own home, though is open to anywhere with a locked door or at least some cover from other people seeing. his favourite is and always will be when you’re at home and things are comfortable. it gives you both some breathing space and you’re free to do whatever you want to, without the real world distractions and people disturbing

M: Motivation

kind of typical stuff, really - likes it when you send him pictures to tease him, and sometimes it’s a though that pops into his head and he’ll tell you the thought in the hopes you will incorporate it. when he’s bored his mind might drift off and he’ll recall when you did something he really likes and he’ll remember it for later. he initiates things quite a bit, since it doesn’t take all that much for him to get going

N: NO

one time you suggest a threesome to mingi and he was umming and ahhing about it for a while, but after careful consideration he realised that he really doesn’t like it for two reasons: he wants you to himself and he is pretty shy and doesn’t particularly want anyone involved in what he’s doing. nothing personal on them, he just doesn’t anyone involved in activities like this unless its you (because he loves you), nor does he want to see you treat anyone like you treat him. he won’t be told otherwise

O: Oral

loves when you suck him off but knows that you’re not always gonna do that unless he asks really nicely (or he’s done something that impresses you, turns you on, or pleases you) so it isn’t the most regular thing - as in, it does happen, but not every day or anything since you both can do foreplay in loads of different ways, and when it does happen he really enjoys it. also likes giving because he likes when you pull his hair and likes getting you off, too. does he have some kind of pain kink? probably. likes it when you pull his hair hard

P: Pace

you control the pace, not him. he likes it slow and then fast towards the end, but he told you that and now you use it against him. whatever you’re in the mood for - you’re in control with him

Q: Quickie

not impartial to them, happy to be part of one, but prefers it not to be. he doesn’t mind when you give him head under the table, but since he’s a sub it’s a bit more difficult for a quickie between the two of you. unless you’re telling him exactly what to do and you’re instructing him specifically on picking you up, pushing you against the door and rawing you, then there’s not much else to do

R: Risk

the poor bby does not want someone walking in on him, despite his confidence. mostly because he shows his sub side to you and only you. it would be weird if one of his hyungs (especially 98 line) ever caught him being your sub. so he likes to do things away from people he knows. he’s not so bothered if there’s a risk of someone he doesn’t know catching him, like one of your friends that he doesn’t know. so maybe you could get away with a cinema hand job

S: Stamina

i keep saying that they are performers so can go for a while, but mingi is on the same level as san when it comes to stamina - he can go a couple of rounds and then still go out afterwards to get food or whatever. he has a lot of energy and usually doesn't use it all during sex. he may, however, get kinda tired during overstimulation and whilst he will ask you for more, he can barely keep his eyes open and he does kinda just wanna lay down for two minutes so he can collect himself. whatever you want him to do though, he can and will do it

T: Toy

he’s not the biggest fan? but he honestly doesn’t have a preference. if you like using them on him then it’s cool, as long as you tell him first and don’t surprise him with it. when it comes to you it’s a bit of a different story. one time you ask him to use one on you and he has no idea what to do with it, but with some instructions he’s got it down and knows what he’s doing. he liked watching you get off but he’s not sure if he’ll do it again because he knows you asked him to use it instead of him getting you off himself. he has a love hate relationship with them

U: Unfair

he’s not a tease at all, at least not intentionally. he does it more as a joke and he takes pride in knowing that you think he’s really fucking hot when he’s performing. however that doesn’t mean he will do things intentionally to tease you. he usually does it to show off to you (like, baby check out my abs on national television) or to get some kind of reaction from you. he won’t admit to it, but he does kind of like it when you tease him. he likes the build up

V: Volume

he’s loud, and there’s no stopping him on that. he will usually whine and moan, but he’s talkative too. more so than most. he doesn’t ever talk back to you but usually he will be happy to answer you and you will never have to ask him to use his words because he’s way too eager to not speak. even when he’s laying back against the headboard and you’re overstimulating him, he’ll still have it in him to ask for more (he will never say stop)

W: Wild Card

mingi likes to be told what to do. he wants to please you so appreciates the help that you give when you tell him how he can get you off, however when it comes to eating you out he likes to take a bit of the control away from you. he goes off when he’s giving head, he loves how sweet you taste and he will always find it in him to put all of his effort into pleasing you, without needing you to tell him what to do and when to do it. he watched videos and everything on how he can improve. like before, he does really like it when you pull his hair and the feeling of the pain, like when you bite him or leave marks on him, turns him on way more and keeps him going for longer. he will probably tell you he likes it in the hopes you’ll do it more often

X: X-Ray

look, there’s a video which is pretty clear, so it doesn’t need much explaining - you know my thoughts on this given how big he is

Y: Yearning

he’s probably a bit more on the needier side. he needs a lot of attention in general, but this also applies to sex. he can go a while without anything from you if it’s completely unavoidable, but if you’re both free then he’ll be wondering why you’re not together? that being said, he does have a lot of self control, mostly that you taught him, and he can be patient when needed. it’s a wonderful ability you’ve taught him, because now when you send him pics on snapchat he isn’t having to run to the bathroom (mostly because you told him he can’t do that without permission, but that’s another story)

Z: ZZZ

he doesn’t often sleep straight after sex, mostly because he’s a ball of energy that can’t be contained and afterwards he would be super talkative and just want to chat shit with you about whatever. even if you’re just laying there he will find something to talk about. if you’re up for it though, he is down for a late night/early morning walk (or smth cute like sitting on the balcony or window sill looking up at the stars talking about space and life etc)

A/N: I hope you enjoy!  As much as I would like to as an 18+ part of this story, I have no idea how to write sex scenes unless someone would like to collaborate. Let me know what you think or what suggestions you may have! I am also taking requests and questions about works!

*___*___*

“What do you have that for?” Claude asked, pulling back her curly mane.

“It's some metal from his ship.” You sighed. “I thought he might like a keepsake, this is the only decent piece I could find, the rest is just twisted junk.”

“What's your plan for the evening? You could stay at my place while the outsider is in your home. And of course Ravio is always welcome.”

“Thanks for the offer but I'd like to keep an eye on him as well as my house. He's not the sort that stays still very long...W-Which actually reminds me...”

“What?” Claude stopped, lightly gripping your shoulders. “I don't like it when you trail off like that. Kark! Just say it.”

“I never had a single vision this week, not even this kriffing month!” Clenching your jaw, you could see Claude's face start to fall. “He was able to make it here without exploding in the atmosphere.”

Your friend paused, looking away for a good moment to collect herself before gently patting your head. “It's not your fault, Y/N.”

“Yes it is. Since I started, we haven't missed a year, I guess I just got sloppy.”

“Are you joking? Please be joking. Stars, Y/N, something has to be wrong, because this would be the first year you've missed the Opening. Besides, you're the youngest yet, so one year won't hurt.”

Reluctantly, you nodded, not fully believing her. “You'll be okay letting the council know? Some of them were really looking forward to the freedom.”

Claude snorted. “The twenty-four hour freedom? I'd hardly call it that.”

“What was it like when you went?”

She set the pace, her long strides a feat to match. “Hm. I was so young I hardly remember much of what happened except for the visit to Coruscant. There were so many people, like everyone in the whole galaxy had come to this one planet!”

Rubbing your hands together, you wondered what it would be like to live in a place where the temperature was just slightly warm.

“I just wish she could've been smarter and flown us back as soon as the errands were taken care of. Guess that's why I select the pilots now...Hey, maybe try the temple. Maybe for once that old place will have some kriffing answers.”

The rest of your walk home was relatively quiet, though time spent with Claude did not always require action. Simply going about your business in the other's presence was peaceful. Memories of reading sacred texts, while Claude trained vigorously in the the woods made up a good portion of your childhood. Of course your master had made you hone your own offensive skills, but using weapons had never been a great talent of yours.

After bidding Claude a peaceful evening, you departed to your home, still wracking your brain for a civil approach. Opening the door, a wave of warmth washed all over, making shedding your coat all the more refreshing.

“Good boy,” You whispered to Ravio, thinking your guest was fast asleep. “Let's get something to eat, okay?”

“Can a guy get something to eat too?”

Startled, you jerked awkwardly. “Force! I thought you-You should be asleep!”

Poe Dameron smirked. “Kinda hard to get shut eye when you're running on empty.”

“Sorry...” You breathed, walking quickly into the small kitchen. “Do you have any restrictions?”

“Nah, guess I'm lucky. If I'm honest I'd eat a womprat at this point.”

At that you let out a small laugh, covering your face with one hand. Against better judgment, you stole a look at Poe to find his smile had widened, one brow raised.

“Heh, well you won't have to be doing that.”

Thankful to have a reason to look away, you turned to your conservator, gathering ingredients for a hearty stew. You meticulously selected the appropriate meats and vegetables, that would best promote a healthy recovery.

“Not that I don't love this place and the hospitality? Amazing. But, is there a port around these parts? A guy's got places to be y'know?”

“Oh. How soon do you need to leave?” Your hands worked the knife with haste.

“As soon as possible, I guess. I know I'm a little worse for wear, but it wouldn't be the first time flying like this.”

Sliding everything into one pot, you set it above the fire to cook naturally. To sate Poe's current hunger you picked up a clean Jorgan fruit slowly walking over, your throat feeling rather tight. Gratefully, he took the fruit, biting into it with gusto.

“Leaving,” You started, sitting cross-legged a good distance from the bed, “is rather complicated.”

Poe swallowed his last bite, narrowing his eyes at you. “What the hell does that mean?”

Next to you, the fire began to crack and pop, sending sparks flying.

“You...I...As far as I know, you won't be able to leave. Even if you tried.”

“This isn't funny. I have to leave this rock as soon as possible! I'm serious! This isn't funny!”

Such a reaction was expected, no sane person would be delighted to find that they had crash landed on a nearly deserted planet, unable to leave until the same time next year. As frustrated as you were, the next few words would have to be calm and reassuring, sweat was trickling down the poor man's forehead, trailing around the carefully placed bandages.

“There are no ports, no cities, or districts here. You're on Tython, the atmosphere only lets people lave once a year. Ships we do have, though if any of us were to pilot it out, it wouldn't make it into space before exploding into millions of pieces.”

“So you have ships then?” His eyes darted to the door every so often.

After a second, you nodded, very much disliking the hope that suddenly radiated from him.

“If I could just...Do you have communications? You have to have something!”

You shrugged. “Yeah. They're not much good.”

“Let me just try to get through to my friends! I can pay for a ship, no problem!”

Poe Dameron continued his spirited plan while you quietly slipped a datapad from a shelf.

“If it's the storm you're worried about, I'm not such a bad pilot, I should be able to make it out into space with hardly a scratch!” He paused. “Why aren't you saying anything? Y/N? C'mon you're scaring me.”

Still maintaining a polite distance, you sat next to him on the bed. “It's not the storms.” You pulled up a taped holovid from several years ago. “Someone thought as you do now. Except that he decided to string others along with him.”

Your heart twisting, you played the video, looking from the corner of your eye to gauge his reaction. Nearly everyone on Tython had lived to see this, save the babies and young children. And no one desired to recollect on the matter.

The sky had been a bright baby blue, gentle and brilliant all at once. The man had insisted on this journey, ignoring not only your master and Claude's sister, but his own parents. So sure of his mission, the youth decided to document his venture, a memory to be envied and cherished. Haughtily, he secured a device on the inside of the canopy, to transmit the feed back to those grounded souls.

One could see from the view of the pilot as the ship bolted into the sky, climbing higher and higher until the Y-Wing was but a speck in a sea of blue. You half expected to see it vanish into space altogether, but it was not to be. The Opening had occurred but three months prior. From your spot atop the roof of the house, you watched as a brilliant red bloomed, shards of black bursting forth in the sudden wake of the explosion. The feed had cut almost instantly, saving anyone from hearing the few lives being snuffed out prematurely. Still, there was no forgetting the chorus of sorrow derived from those lamenting the family and friends they had just lost.

“That doesn't make sense.” Poe murmured, grabbing the datapad from you. “Everything was clear, they should have made it! It must have been something with the engine or the cooling system...”

“That fool made sure his ship was immaculate.”

Feeling rather dismal, you removed the pot from the fire, bringing it to the kitchen.

“Nothing is perfect. I'll be different! Just let me take one of your ships, please!”

With heavy eyes, you regarded him carefully. “We hardly have any as it is. Since we can only leave once a year, only the most experienced leave to bring back supplies and the like. Besides, we are not very populous.”

The man rolled his eyes, setting the pad down, scrunching his nose just a bit. “If the damn sky opens once a year, why don't you all just get the hell out of here?”

Your grip on the bowl hardened, clenching your jaw you shoved the food at Poe. “Some of us can't. Others have no reason to leave.”

“That doesn't even- Look, sweetheart, I'm sure your home has some pretty hot pilots, but I'm willing to bet, none of them could out fly me.”

“You don't have to be a great pilot, even if you were-”

“Next clear day, you're gonna watch me leave this rock.” He almost snarled.

“We're not letting you take one of our ships!”

“You're not going to keep me here like a hostage!”

“It's not my fault!”

“Then let me GO!”

The sudden raise in his voice made you jerk away. Poe seemed to realize he startled you, and his face softened, mouth opening to say something, but no words came out. Hastily you stood, rushing for the door, grabbing your coat and shoes, planning to put them on outside then linger inside for even a moment longer.

Once you were adequately dressed, you stomped furiously, feeling the heat of your anger warm your body. Under the pale moonlight, the path to the town hangar was clear. If that dogmatic flyboy wanted to leave so badly then by all means why not provide him with his shot after taking the time to piece him back together. The lengthy walk and frigid chill cooled your mood, though your decision had been made.

“Hey, kid! What brings you out here? Don't you have like books to read and magic to do?”

Giving a tired smile, you greeted Emilio with a brief hug, not wanting to soil your clothes with oil.

“I have a problem, Emilio,” you sighed, closing the door of the hangar. For being built directly into a mountain, it was surprisingly silent.

Your friend winced, scratching lightly at the skin of his neck. “This wouldn't be about that rebel, would it?”

“Kark. Did Claude already hold the meeting?”

He nodded, pulling off his goggles. “The people understand, but they're still angry. Not so much at you. Claude reasoned we could go one year without sending someone out. They're angry at that damn pilot. His ship took out a good deal of the crops.”

Another headache started to form. Peering over Emilio's handiwork, you had to admire his ability to bring new life to something as dead as an Old Republic A-Wing.

“Stars...This looks fresh.” You marveled. “Except for the paint, but its perfect.”

He laughed nervously, scratching himself. “Aw, it's not much and I've got the rest of those junked up ships to get through.”

Emilio gestured behind him, the cavern-turned-hangar stretched back far, holding star ships that would have ordinarily been scrap. The people of Tython could not afford that.

“Damn. I forgot how many there are.” Reminded of the reason for your visit, you snapped to attention. “As wizard as your work is, that's not why I'm here.”

“Oh thank the stars. I though you were coming in here to tell me you had a premonition...”

“Look,” You started, “The pilot who crashed is staying with me. He's one stubborn bastard and didn't take the explanation well.��

Your friend laughed awkwardly. “Who the hell does?”

“Besides the point. He wants out, and he wants it bad. I got the feeling he's the type to try and snag one of the working ships when the guard is down.”

Emilio's usually pleasant face grew quite grave, his grip on his spanner growing so tight, his knuckles cracked.

“We have our communications in here, so if you could just set it up so the signal reaches further. If he can contact his friends, then they can try to break through.”

Twirling the tool in his hands, he slid down to sit against the ship. “Are you gonna tell them about the skies or...”

“Well, of course!” You said exasperatedly. “I'm not going to let anyone fly at lightning speed right to their own death if I have any say.”

Emilio agreed to help, and in exchange, you would prepare for him a slew of remedies to ease the pain in his joints and soothe his skin.  Unable to bear the awkward situation with Poe Dameron back at your own home, you were granted permission to stay the night in the hangar. A pang of guilt struck you, realizing that Ravio was back at home, though  at least someone would keep an eye on the house while you were a ways off. After setting up a hammock, you wrapped yourself loosely in a bundle of blankets, strangely passing out as your body went lax.

Usually sleeping for long periods of time was a bad sign; there was no proof, just superstition. So when you felt your hammock shaking, a feeling of dread made your heart beat faster. Still very much groggy, it was a feat to push yourself up and focus on Emilio who looked worriedly at you with panicked eyes.

“Kids f-found him in the center of town! The kriffing guy is trying to get around and asking for a ride!”

“Wh...What?”

He offered no explanation, but hurried off, leaving you to stumble out of bed, very much disheveled. Silently, you swore up a storm trudging your way from the hangar, thankful for yet another cloudy day, any sunshine would have been blinding. The winding path seemed longer in your tired stupor and the commons were a welcome sight. And very suddenly you understood Emilio's reaction. The man was clinging to one of the two chairs in your home, using it as an unorthodox crutch to move forward bit by bit.

“Hey!” You cried out. “What the hell do you think you're doing?”

Fury fully rousing you from your sleep, you marched right over to Poe Dameron hands on your hips, glaring down at the man who offered a sheepish smile.

“Hey, kid! I was wondering where you went, so I, uh, thought I'd go looking for ya!”

“Save it!” Your connection to Claude proved helpful. “I suggest you stay still.”

Poe let out an awkward yelp as Claude's strong arms wrapped around his waist with ease, pulling him taut.

“I'm not some kid! Put me down! Are you crazy?”

Your friend failed to flinch once as she strode back to your home, while you carried the chair in one arm. Once back inside the warmth of your house, Claude set Poe down just a bit too rough. Though the pilot was injured, you were still quite upset with him. Sluggishly you set the chair near the bed and faced Poe with a rather cold expression.

“Did you actually believe in your mind that anyone in this village was going to just hand you a ship?”

“I was thinking someone would be kind enough -HNGH!”

In his own frustration, the pilot tried to shift forward, only serving to irritate his already stressed and broken leg.

“Here. Hold still or else you'll make it worse...” As you fixed the wrappings, Claude took your seat.

“Did you tell him?” She asked, frowning slightly.

“Of course, but he doesn't believe me. Surprise, surprise...”

“You guys are not gonna keep me here like some kind of prisoner!” He growled. “There has to be a way off this kriffing planet!”

Feeling your head spin, you finished patching things up before scooting back. “I...I said you could try and contact anyone you need to in this system. We're not going to let you destroy any of our ships, so if you're so intent on getting out, then you can let your friends try.”

Your words had been curt and sharp, as well as a good deal louder than intended which was becoming a common theme. Truthfully you wished he could go home as soon as he wished, there was the hidden desire to know more of the mysterious pilot, though now was not the time. To be able to go beyond this single planet for more than a day would be...beyond transformative at a level you could not yet comprehend, let alone imagine. But this was not your destiny. It had been taught to you intensely and in spite any childhood desires, you were reminded of the impossibility. So to keep any hopes from merely forming, you were not allowed to even be considered as a passenger or pilot for the Opening of the Skies. So you knew the feeling of wanting to leave. At least this Poe Dameron could live beyond the atmosphere.

“I-I can actually send a message?” Poe asked wide eyed.”

Laying back on the floor you stared at the ceiling. “Of course. I told you that. I was going to bring you to our hangar where the comms hub is, but then you had to take my furniture and make a break for it.”

“Cause' I thought you were keeping me here an she threatened me!” He pointed a finger behind you.

With a small smirk you looked back at Claude who shrugged.

“What? Don't look at me like that, Y/N. I can tell he's trouble, I told you. And you saw what he did.”

Once again, you let you head fall back. “We can go to the hub.” You decided.

The pilot gave a small cheer. “Thank Maker...”

“But, I need to go to the basin. I haven't been able to take care of myself much the past few days.”

Claude nodded approvingly though your guest was more interested than put off by this delay.

“A basin? So water? Stars, I need a bath.”

He rambled on about his current state, lamenting the lack of accommodations, though he had been through far worse. On the other hand, you gave your friend a look of fright, her awkward grimace confirming what you had taken away from Poe's relief.

“Must you, right this second?” She asked. “I have work to do now, so I should be going.”

Lightly biting your tongue, you relented. “I'll take him myself then.”

“Can't you just wait!? Wait so I'll be able to go with you for Force's sake!”

“Just...I can handle it myself. Trust me, I'll be fine. Plus, I may not be the best in combat, but even you know I put up a damn good fight.”

Felix

Here are my thoughts on Felix, spoilers below. 

As the episode starts, I can’t help but be reminded of a story

There’s a story about a man who cleaned his wedding rings I read online. Now, I hardly think that the story is going to 100% relate to Gabriel Agreste, but I found it a bit ironic that shortly after I read this story, I see Gabriel taking the time to also clean/polish both his and his wife’s rings. (the story was about a man who is quote “a ‘guys’ guy” and was constantly told no one cared about how clean his ring was and it didn’t matter but he did it anyway)

Look here, how at first he was so careful and gentle. Carefully placing his wife’s hands back into place. Before his talk with Adrien in the near future, might I add. And with his “soon, Emilie” comment, there’s so much emphasis on these rings in the beginning of this episode. We’ve had some mild emphasis before with how much Gabriel has fiddled with his. So what’s up with them? What’s their significance? I have nothing but I hope someone else can answer. 

Aw, she’s watching him. And he’s staring at his mother’s statue. Exactly how many depictions of Emilie are there? There’s more of her than anyone else. I mean, sure. There are a couple paintings/pictures of them all, as a family, and a collection of Adrien’s photographs throughout Gabriel’s office but Emilie is everywhere, it seems. There’s a whole statue of her there. This reminds me of Disenchantment even more- the statue of a the child’s mother being one of the only things for them to remember them by while the father desperately tries to get hold of an all-powerful magical object(s) for seemingly selfish reasons. 

I just love this scene.

Look at those heart eyes! I said it before, get you someone who looks at you the way Nathalie looks at Gabriel. That is such a pure look.

Oh my gosh that smile. Okay, I love this. He’s seeing Nathalie smile like a love-struck puppy at his dad. And that makes him happy. This is an example of some of the things he’s been noticing between her and his father- and if he is capable of picking up on these subtlety's....well, he’s far from oblivious. Just confused (with Marinette). He’s happy to see them standing together though, and to see Nathalie gazing so fondly at his dad. Even if we didn’t get confirmation on him shipping them in this episode, this would have hinted at it pretty well. 

They already act like a mother and son- this is so cute. This is the kind of interaction I’ve been wanting to see more of. Especially from Nathalie, I know it’s small, but she’s a stoic “emotionless” character and she did something cute and wholesome. It just delves a little more into the relationship they have. 

I’m hardly one to fawn over family dynamics but this show brings it out in me. 

“It’s been one year; the longer you keep him in the dark about what you’re doing, the harder it will be on him when he finds out.” So this tells me a few things. 

1. Adrien’s 15th should be coming up soon

2. They’re both aware that when Adrien finds out he’s going to be hurt 

3. They know that it’s inevitable for him to find out

and 4. They’ve had conversations about this before. The way she just brought it up like this, they’ve likely had a few conversations about telling Adrien what’s happening under his roof. And she’s encouraged Gabriel before. Now that it’s the anniversary of Emilie’s disappearance, she’s nudging him more because you know, what better day to tell your son that you’re a supervillain and his mom’s in the basement than the day you lost her to begin with (which, makes it sound bad but it makes sense to tell him on this day, if they were waiting to tell him.)

---

“Little kitty on a roof, all alone without his-” “Adrien” Gabriel decided right then and there to go tell him. To tell him.

Okay so this is....actually really good.  lot of parenting things I’ve read/watched will mention getting down on the child’s level, especially if it’s for a more serious topic or something they need to understand without feeling like they’re being talked down to. It’s a good technique to use and it’s also kinda showing Gabriel opening up just a bit because...well what else is he going to do with what he’s about to tell his son? (I mean of course him sitting down by him isn’t going to make up for everything he’s done, nor does it make him any better of a parent- but it does go to say that he does know a little more than I initially thought)

Also, with the way this is set up, you can’t blame Adrien for the way he reacts. It really sounds like the way to set up a conversation on how a parent has found someone new to love with their child. 

Also, “I think about telling you every day, but I don’t know how to find the right words”- so in other words he actually WANTS to tell him. This isn’t something Nathalie is pushing him to do because she thinks it’ll be best, this is something she’s ENCOURAGING him to do because she knows he wants and needs too but is to scared to actually do it on his own. But the point is that he was actually about to tell Adrien that he is Hawkmoth. Which would mean he would have to explain why he’s Hawkmoth, and lead to him showing Adrien his mother, maybe he could have even met Nooroo and Duusu. Then again, Adrien might be very reluctant to go down and see his mother in that state. That might just be something that was an offer for if he wanted to see her. And at least if he found out this way, he wouldn’t have to shout, ask “Why” so much or rush his own father and be punted out of the ceiling. Different approaches call for different reactions. This one would have led to something likely still bitter and betrayed, but with a clearer explanation and more emotional attachment. It wouldn’t all be hitting at once, they could go as slow as Adrien needed to process it because it wouldn’t be in the heat of battle. But it would have to be approached cautiously otherwise I can see Adrien transforming right then and there and allowing his emotions to take over again. But none of that is what happened. 

“I think I already know father” 

“But...how?” no amount of panic in his voice...just a genuine question. There’s panic in his eyes yes, because 1. How does Adrien know 2. Does that mean he’s slipped up at some point? Who else could know? Who else could find out? but no fear in his voice because 3. If Adrien already knows, and just says so in such a calm manor, if he were going to tell anyone else he already would have.

“I’ve noticed how close you and Nathalie have become” 

Gabriel’s face “W h a t? What is he talking about- oh, that’s what he’s talking about....”

“If she can make you happy again...” well I can’t say Gabriel has necessarily been subtle with his grief *cue Parisian's screaming in the background”, but still, that just tells me that there’s a noticeable change in Gabriel’s behavior from before Emilie disappeared. People act differently when they’re unhappy. 

“....then as far as I’m concerned, she’s already part of our family” this boy loves her so much. He looks so happy talking about her to his dad, that he seems to be opening up a bit and talking to him, and at the idea that the hole in their lives will be filled, not even with someone new but with someone who has already established their place in the household. Someone who is already a chosen part of their family (As I like to say, family is chosen.). It’s so pure- whenever they have this talk again in the future I hope it goes well. Because with the way Gabriel reacts, they’re going to need it. 

Also, I’d like to say that I greatly appreciate their relationship actually being spoken about aside from it being exclusively from Nathalie or between Nathalie and Duusu (which btw, we didn’t get a conversation between Nathalie and Duusu in Chat Blanc or Felix discussing her feelings which tells me that either we’re going to get a flashback scene in season 4, or Duusu was able to sense Nathalie’s emotions and based on my interpretation of body language and stuff from the finale, Gabriel may be very aware of Nathalie’s feelings for him already but I’d like to wait for English Miracle Queen before making that assumption whole) 

*Gabriel Agreste has hit a rage*

“As long as she is still in our hearts, she lives on.” Not the kind of thing you’d expect to hear from someone like Gabriel IMO. And as folks have said, he never got mad at the idea of being with Nathalie- he got mad at the idea of moving on from Emilie. And I have to admit, him saying “No one could ever replace your mother” yeah, I mean, I understand that. But here’s the deal- moving on from someone, doesn’t mean you never loved them, or even that you don’t still love them even while loving someone else. Getting remarried isn’t ‘replacing’ your original spouse. 

Moving on from someone you love is hard as heck. Sometimes, it might even feel impossible to do, but in some cases, it’s necessary for you and those around you. Moving on isn’t going to slander their legacy, it’s not going to somehow invalidate what you had with them previously- and again, it’s not replacing them. It’s a natural human feeling to...want to have someone by your side. Your spouse being put into the kind of state Emilie is in is going to leave a gaping hole beside you in that sense, in your family dynamic and etc. and a new spouse and relationship can help fill that, stick by your side for the remainder of your life and still not replace the person you first loved. Gabriel was mad not at Adrien, but at the idea of moving on from Emilie, and just can’t seem to grasp the idea that moving on is not that same thing as replacing. Him and Nathalie won’t be able to get together until he realizes that. That being said...

Adrien’s blank stare is priceless. “If that’s not what you were gonna tell me then what is it? No need to get so mad...why are you mad? You could have just said no...” like he can see the pointlessness in this anger but still understands the reaction...but still he probably wants to know what on Earth his dad was talking about if it wasn’t in reference to his relationship with Nathalie. Idk. 10/10 reaction, Adrien. 

Then typical Gabriel comes back out and he just storms off. Geez the kid just wants you happy and to have a mom, calm down. 

---

They have him crying a good bit lately. He could really use a hug. 

NOW THE PARTY DON”T START TILL I WALK IN

Now we have Amelie...and I gotta be honest, I know some folks already really like her but she’s just the type of person I can’t stand. Just in her personality. She just seems to be everywhere at once, taking up so much space and attention. Nathalie seems to just fade into the background and go unnoticed, in comparison. So no matter Amelie’s intentions, her grating personality would probably make me dislike her anyway. 

And as Gabriel is explaining Adrien just looks so confused

 Like his first reaction was that it was his mother and not the more logical “Mother’s twin sister” and it takes Gabriel actually saying that it’s his Aunt for him to realize exactly what’s going on. 

And of course I’m sure you’ve all processed the puppy-dog like expression that comes over Adrien’s face when Felix walks in. He just loves his family even though it seems to just be filled with bad people. Then Amelie goes into her thing about Adrien and Felix fooling Gabriel and Emilie for a whole weekend and she says “We laughed so hard”- did Gabriel laugh too? She says “we”....does that mean everyone but Gabriel or does that mean that Gabriel wasn’t always quite so tightly wound? 

I always feel so awkward when we get these close-ups of their butt..

“Felix you know your uncle’s never been the physical sort” because it’s how he shows affection. With how much that has been emphasized at this point, it HAS to be a story-telling element. Why, outside of just showcasing different personality types and comfort zones, have someone that’s so adamantly against physical contact? I mean they could have chosen anyone for this, but they chose Gabriel specifically then turn around and have him and Nathalie being very physical. From what I can tell, it’s a part of the show and character specifically for the Gabenath element of the story. 

Also I find it funny how she says this in front of his son just because....if he’s never been the physical sort, I doubt Adrien would be standing there.

Someone at some point is going to photoshop Nathalie into this frame over Amelie aren’t they?

I don’t know. They way she’s so enthusiastic about everything gets on my nerves- then again, I have plenty of characters that are enthusiastic that I like very well. It’s just the way she pulls it off, okay I’m done knocking her personality because that’s just a personal thing and this fandom has enough salt- This scene just grinds my gears. I’m sure she has her good qualities too, and other’s probably quite enjoy her enthusiastic attitude, but I feel like she just seems so entitled...let me explain. 

She knows she looks like an exact replica of Emilie and, while I understand the sentiment here, decides to come over to the Agreste house on this day anyway. I know the way she looks is far from her control, and she deserves support just as much as the rest of the family on a day like this, however, would it not be hard on Gabriel (if she was honestly thinking about him) to see someone that looked so strikingly like his supposedly deceased wife in his home, walking around like there’s nothing wrong, on the very day he lost her? Her hairstyle is even the same- but I could understand the sentiment if it didn’t seem like she was just using this vulnerable day for them to try and fish out something she has no right to (to our knowledge). 

It’s the rings. She’s not in the house five minutes before she brings them up. She greets them, gives the boys time to greet each other, then casually brings up the topic to get down to business. 

“You’re still wearing your wedding band! You must have Emilie’s too I imagine, you never replied to my message about that. I’d still like to get the rings back, you know.” 

“These rings are obviously very special to me.”

“And they’re very dear to me too, Gabriel. Those jewels have always been in the Graham De Vanily family, not, the Agreste’s.” *smiles*

Well girl wtfrick is your name rn? I can only assume atm that you took your husband’s name too. You may still be up and walking but the rings belong to Gabriel now. 

“I’d still like to get the rings back..” so did you give them to them then? If they meant so much to you why would you give them to them as wedding rings if so? If you wanted them so desperately you don’t give them up like that- you wouldn’t be asking for them if Emilie was still there, would you?

And here’s the kicker, in the end we realize that she wasn’t even trying to get them for her, or sentimental reasons, or even a feeling of entitlement- no, she was getting them purely to give them to her bratty son. It doesn’t matter if she gave them to them or if they were passed down to Emilie. 

Tell me, where is it okay to ask a grieving, lonely man to give up what you believe to be the only connection he has left to his marriage (besides Adrien but that’s beside the point)- where is it okay to ask a man to give away his wedding rings just because his wife died? Especially if you’re not going to do anything with them but give them to your spoiled son? Those rings mean a lot to Gabriel, they were his wedding rings- I don’t know what significance they hold for the Graham De Vanily family, but regardless of that they belong to Gabriel and he’s obviously taken good care of them. 

What makes me even more upset about this is that....she wanted them for Felix! Not because she’s potentially the only sister Emilie had and therefore outside of the boys is the only living heir of the Graham De Vanily family and therefore thinks that since she’s the most direct descendant she should have them for traditions sake or whatnot- but because Felix likes them. 

Adrien is just as much a Graham De Vanily as Felix and has just as much right, if not more so, to those rings. 

He and Felix may be on equal ground when it comes to blood relation to the family, but even if Amelie didn’t take her husband’s last name and Felix is Felix Graham De Vanily, they were the rings for Adrien’s parent’s marriage, they belong to his parents now, therefore he is directly in line for that inheritance and deserves it every bit as much as Felix. Amelie has no right to take that away from him just because Felix likes the story behind them. 

Then after that Gabriel says “We’ll discuss it later” 

Which you know is code for “I’m not going to have this conversation” so he can just keep them without having to worry about her trying to give context. 

---

Also, I’d just like to say that Marinette’s video-confession sounds like she’s being a supportive and emotionally-open friend. Sure it’s a declaration of love, but it by no means sounds like a confession of romantic love. I can easily see Adrien taking it as a platonic “I love you” and being like “Aw, Marinette. I love you too, you’re such a good friend.” She tries so hard. Alya’s excitement over it though is great.  

---

Dang! Look t that layout! I love the structure of this house. and if I’m right, there are two floors below it too...but is the butterfly window on the back of the house? Wouldn’t people notice a giant butterfly window constantly opening and closing? I don’t know, but I do like how the walls on the sides have doors so that you can walk out on them. Imagine Marinette serenading Adrien while he’s standing out on one. 

---

“I’m sorry I didn’t come to your dad’s funeral...” dang, man. That’s heavy. How did he know that’s exactly what he was upset about? And that was actually another good move on Gabriel’s part....it would have been hard on Adrien to go to his uncle’s funeral given how close in death dates Emilie and his uncle seem to be. It might have been good for Felix to have the support of someone who understood, but Gabriel had to think about Adrien, not Felix. 

“You have every right to be mad at me”

No, he has every right to be upset about it. But not be mad at YOU for something that was out of your hands. 

“He’s very...protective of me.” For some reason I like that line. It was very soft.

Well that was a jerk move. Snoop. And yikes. 

Felix taking his anger out on Adrien for something he couldn’t control? Man, not cool. He really had this planned out too didn’t he? Steal his phone, then knew he was friendly and welcoming enough to let him shower and borrow clothes- he was looking for a way to cause some sorrow in the boys life by stealing his phone. He got lucky with the video thing but if he hadn’t had that to work with he would have probably tied to get the address of some of his friends and dress up as him and go be rude in person or text them something nasty. The timing of the video was really good for Felix. 

....yikes...but Plagg is right. What a petty act, squashing cheese under his pillow for not going to a funeral he likely wanted to go to to support Felix. It’s pretty standard for people who are grieving to act differently or lash out, but it’s not a valid excuse for the behavior. People cope differently but after a while, if that’s how you cope...maybe it’s time for some therapy.  

It’s good to see a softer side of Chloe. Shows how underneath all that condescension and bratty attitude, she’s still an actual person and can care for others. 

Nyoom

---

Also I like how Gabriel immediately recognized that it wasn’t his son on the video. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. As a matter of fact I like how Nathalie, even when Adrien is pretending to be Felix and convinces Alya Rose and Juleka that he is Felix, Nathalie is still adamently like “Adrien s t o p”

---

Nino and Marinette too, they’re both positive it isn’t Adrien and have faith in him. Even after the video is confirmed unaltered. Kim actually has some logical reasoning, which, honestly I feel. I hardly ever consider someone a friend until I’ve known them for at least a year (there have been folks I’ve known longer than that and never considered friends- because you only know so much about a person. You never know what they might pull) so his reasoning that they’ve only known him since they got back from the summer? Totally valid. And this?

Okay, so I realize that he probably shouldn’t be akumatizing people that are going to go after Adrien, and if he were going to should have moved him BEFORE akumatising them...but he’s taking action to keep Adrien safe from the akumas that are upset with him, and even took his phone into consideration. He hasn’t done that with some previous akumas. And this also tells us that the weapon phones can connect to normal phones and therefore must have a number. Can’t be the same as their normal phone’s number, otherwise when Ladybug and Chat text they could recognize them- so does that mean that Nathalie could potentially have a contact in her phone (Finale spoiler: in the finale she calls Hawkmoth by the press of a button) that calls Hawkmoth? Imagine if Ladybug got hold of her phone and pressed the number while Hawkmoth was active. That could end badly. 

Confused Nathalie is cute. It took a second for her to realize which was which, which of course is realistic. They look really similar, it could take a moment for it to register. 

Juleka: Which one of you is a cruel and inferior copy of the original? 

Me @ studios that rip-off more popular movies/shows to make a quick buck. 

Rose pointed her weapon at Adrien and immediately Nathalie just 

These spot the difference games are getting hard.

She’s protecting her angry boy. 

Don’t make mama mad.

Shes-a gonna getchya. 

Okay, how strong is she? Or how light is Rose? I know for a fact that even if you’re just a naturally strong person it’s not easy to just pick up someone that size and throw them. I can hardly throw a 40lb child. Rose is at least 100 and Nathalie doesn’t even break a sweat. Is it the adrenaline? This has me in as much awe as when Kyoya Ootori dents the hood of a car with his fist out of frustration- I’ve tested it out just to see and denting the hood of a car is hard with just a fist without hurting yourself. Likewise it’s pretty hard to yeet a highschool kid. I now head canon that she works out along with Gabriel. 

That’s determination in her eyes

Friendly reminder that she’s doing this in heels.

If I felt like editing this some of these screenshots could be sent into the funny miraculous screenshots blog. 

Also Rose’s “Ow ow ow” after kicking shins humoured me.  

Catch me over-analyzing Nathalie’s fight scene, she jumped pretty high though. Okay, that’s enough on her fight. Also, the fact that not only Nathalie, but Felix too, can hold their own against 3 akumas at least for a while...I wonder if any akumas have been defeated by skilled civilians before Ladybug could show up.

Moving on, I think it’s really cool how they allowed Ladybug to be able to punch Felix in the face even though he looks like Adrien, and how they had her be like “No” even though it seemed like Adrien was trying to kiss her. And the music, it’s all soft and romantic at first then it goes all distorted and creepy...very fitting. 

That utter rage...man, 15/10. Good content. I like seeing girls be able to stand up for themselves. And then she immediately knows it’s not Adrien.

“Felix, smash it in half and this nightmare will be over” “What makes you think I want it to be over?” Dang. That’s some Azula-level stuff right there. I like that, I want more of that.  

“Hawkmoth, can you hear me Hawkmoth!” 

Yes, yes, I like that. They’re able to communicate through the akumatized people too...I like that very much. Oooh boy, I can’t wait for Felix to come back in season 4. I quite enjoy seeing people willing to work with Hawkmoth and not be as annoying as Lila. What if FELIX is the new Hawkmoth and is working to...idk, bring his dad back? And Lila is his Mayura...or vice versa...that would make it so interesting.

And here I like how Adrien is telling Felix off but still somehow able to be completely soft with it. He’s upset with him and wants to make that clear but he’s still his family and doesn’t want to completely discard him. 

And Felix...dang, I like Felix. He’s got the acting gene. He can lie and manipulate and actually do it well. He seems genuine. Lila, you can always tell she’s acting, that she’s never sincere- but she’s able to manipulate situations. Felix on the other hand...he’s able to go with the flow and adapt quickly. He’s a fantastic actor and if you couldn’t see the hidden context at the end, you’d actually be able to believe him. 

And the one time Gabriel actually extends a hand to someone outside his immediate family or isn’t blind and needs someone to guide them (we see Tomoe with her arm wrapped in Gabriel’s once in a while)....he gets robbed of a prized possession. Dang. Don’t expect him to open up to Felix anymore for a long time. 

*internalized screaming*

I think it’s pretty obvious to her that he stole it. He never had any opportunity to talk Gabriel into giving it up and he’s likely known for being able to pull things off like that. 

I understand that she wants her son to be happy and that he likes the story of the rings, but she should make him return it...but obviously her little angel always gets what he wants, why should she make him give back something he “earned”? She should be asking more questions, he had no right to take it right off Gabriel’s finger. *more internal screaming* I don’t care how many wrongs Gabriel has made, I know this is part of karma coming out to get him but two wrongs don’t make a right. This isn’t math, the negatives don’t make a positive. It just makes more negatives. 

“I’m glad it’s back in the family where it truly belongs” but it was never out of the family! Gabriel IS your family! Adrien is your nephew- he was your sisters son, oh my gosh you make no sense!! *deep breath* Okay. The only thing I can think of that would have allowed the ring to stay with folks named Graham De Vanily would be if 1. All their ancestors had sons who’s wives took their last name, therefore they were passed down from son to son so as to keep it not just in the family, but in the name or 2. Graham De Vanily was the name of Amelie’s husband and for some reason, her husband gave Emilie and Gabriel the twin rings instead of using them in his own wedding...which...no. 

So Gabriel has to now wear Emilie’s ring

And he doesn’t even bother to put her hands back into place. 

Might he have been a little more thoughtful about that, if Adrien at the beginning hadn’t made his comment about him and Nathalie? Or was it just his anger making him forget?

---

Overall the episode was fantastic imo and while Amelie grinds my gears it will definitely be interesting to see more of her and her boy (after all, why introduce a character so interesting if you won’t bring them back?)

[makeste]

BnHA Smash!! 01 and 02: Smash!!Might is a Fucking Menace

okay, so. I have about a million other things I should be doing instead, including (1) responding to asks and/or finishing in-progress metas, (2) reading Vigilantes, and last but not least, (3) actually making a dent in the ever-increasing backlog of Actual Work That I Really Should Be Doing Instead.

so naturally I’m procrastinating by taking my first stab at reading BnHA’s cute 4-panel omake spinoff series, BnHA Smash!! IT JUST MAKES SENSE. look, I have exactly one thing I felt like actually doing and not procrastinating today, so I might as well do the thing. basically it’s my attention span’s world and I’m just living in it.

anyway! so apparently this series was scanlated by good ol’ Fallen Angels. that’s right; prepare yourselves for some very creative cursing, fellas. other background info for anyone who, like me, is unfamiliar with this spin-off: this series debuted on November 9, 2015, a little over a year after the original series. said original series was currently at chapter 66, meaning the Final Exam arc was just wrapping up.

so now that we’re all properly oriented, let me go over a few disclaimers real quick and then we’ll get started!

all comments are my unspoiled reactions from my initial readthrough of the chapter. I did a quick edit for grammar and clarity afterward, and added a few ETAs in the process, but aside from that there are no changes.

I’m aware that not everyone may be familiar with Smash!! even if they’ve read/watched the original series, so I’ve tried to make this recap comprehensible even if you haven’t read the spin-off. that being said, it’s probably more enjoyable if you have, so you can either purchase the first volume from Viz here, or read the chapter online (I don’t want to link directly, but the spin-off is available on most of the usual sites. literally just google “read mha” and you’ll find some good options).

this readthrough contains a handful of sorta-kinda spoilers for the BnHA manga, although there are no direct spoilers. just an indirect reference to a joke in chapter 242, as well as a reference to a theory which as of now is in no way canon. but just to be on the safe side I’m posting a heads-up.

and I think that’s it! so here we go.

so we’re opening with a brief summary of the series. people have superpowers and shit’s nuts. you know the drill

there’s also a brief description of the way that the superhero economy works, complete with Mt. Lady’s employees unionizing and demanding better pay

...what

guys I keep staring at this and thinking that surely, SURELY it doesn’t say what I think it says. sidekick... what... manager??

you know what? Viz unfortunately doesn’t include this series as part of their subscription package (WHAT AM I PAYING YOU FOR, VIZ), but it does at least include a free preview of Smash, and I bet you that this, the first fucking page of the series, is a part of that preview. so... let’s see...

okay, see, this actually makes sense! so did the FA scanlating team collectively all have a fucking stroke?! just, what??

this is one of the reasons why I had difficulty reading Vigilantes too, tbh. those early chapter scans were, uh. but at least Vigilantes has a Viz scanlation too. I don’t want to spend 10 bucks just to read one volume of this, but we’ll see. anyways

so now there’s a strip about baby!Izuku watching his favorite clip of All Might saving one hundred people from a bus accident or whatever

lol Inko you should not have left your shrewdly calculating four-year-old son unattended omg

TWELVE MONTHS’ WORTH OF TEXTBOOKS HOW CAN THIS EAGER YOUNG MIND RESIST

and this is why you don’t leave your credit card info saved on the computer when you have kids. life lessons learned today

this is the first indicator we have ever had that baby!Izuku wasn’t perfect and was, in fact, capable of being a little shit and giving his mom plenty of gray hairs in his own special way. ngl, I fucking love it

also 12,800 yen is about $118 USD, which is honestly a really good deal for a year’s worth of textbooks. he got three boxes of books! I just googled the average cost of college textbooks, and the google article said the average student spends about $1200 a year. so this is a fucking steal tbh

OH MY GOD INKO HOW MANY TIMES MUST HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF BEFORE YOU LEARN

at least install a fucking adblocker ffs. you’re lucky quirk supplement ads are the worst of the ads he’s getting! PARENTAL CONTROLS

now we are cutting to a comic about baby!Izuku defending another boy from my problematic fave, as seen in page one of the original series!

lmaooo

I’m not clear on how much of this spin-off can actually be considered canon. my understanding is that it is Horikoshi-reviewed and approved, even though he doesn’t actually write it. but it’s obviously a humor series, so a lot of it is just going to be jokes. that being said, I think my approach is going to be “if it’s not completely ridiculous and doesn’t contradict the actual manga, go ahead and consider it canon”

(ETA: I might change this up after reading the first two chapters. most of these strips would have terrifying implications if they were actually canon sob.)

anyhoo, this actually does contradict the manga in that we saw this encounter play out very differently. but I kind of wish it was canon regardless because looool. these cocky preschoolers and their fucking Battle Tears

the next comic is Mt. Lady accidentally stepping on a guy’s face and the guy being way too fucking happy about it (read: having a fucking nosebleed and taking an upskirt shot). we’re just going to skip this entirely. this is another problem I was having with Vigilantes too. you know, for all my complaints about Mineta and such, BnHA as a whole is so much tamer than it could be, and I need to give Horikoshi credit for that. he mostly knows where to draw the line, and to his credit he’s also much, much better about this kind of thing than he was when he first started. maybe Mineta’s standings in the character poll results are helping to clue him in

anyway, I’ll mostly just skip past the iffy stuff because I don’t have patience for it and there’s still plenty of other stuff to cover. so on to the next strip

which features a bunch of reporters fawning over Mt. Lady’s flashy quirk while Kamui Woods laments in the shadows

and yet we know this kid will have a prominent rise within the next six months. it’s so strange to revisit the start of the series and see how much things have changed in such a short time

oh my god

no one who dresses up as a giant mushroom could possibly have good intentions. I. just

and look at the fucking disappointment in Deku’s eyes. KAMUI WOODS HE BELIEVED IN YOU!

now some strange man is coming up to Deku and is all HEY YOU, YOU’RE A HERO OTAKU, TELL ME WHAT TO BUY MY SEVEN-YEAR-OLD SON FOR HIS BIRTHDAY. better not ask him unless you’re prepared to shell out $120 bucks for some fucking textbooks

hey, what!!

WE DIDN’T EVEN GET TO SEE WHAT HE BOUGHT HIM? unless it’s the action figure the kid appears to be holding? but I’m just going to go ahead and assume Izuku recommended the number one best gift that any seven-year-old child would love, i.e. a giant sword

now it’s a sludge monster omake!

so Izuku is trudging home all depressed after CERTAIN INCIDENTS, and Sludgey is glooping his way out of a sewer towards him

oh no All Might

my biggest takeaway from this is the fact that the entire second half of chapter one takes place after All Might has emerged from a fucking sewer. I forgot all about that somehow. or maybe it never fully processed until just now. but omg. this entire chapter must have smelled so fucking bad. these poor kids

wow All Might

sure called that one wrong. ah well nobody’s perfect

looooool

lmao, Smash!!All Might appears to be quite a bit more vain than the original. wow dude

btw, friendly reminder (and I think this is something that was actually pointed out to me after one of the recaps; that’s one of my favorite things about doing these) that All Might, after saving Deku, actually read his notebook before signing it. super-fast, I guess, because he’s the best. but yeah, so he knew exactly how smart and observant Deku was, and how much he wanted to be a hero. his decision to pick him as his successor didn’t just come out of the blue; even before the “my body moved on its own” thing, there was a lot Deku had going in his favor. this is one of those little details of which BnHA has so many, and which I love

lmao what the fuck

ngl this version of the series would have been amazing in its own way. but yeah. so this is why we clearly can’t assume everything in Smash!! is canon lol. but I can already tell I am going to enjoy the shit out of this series

now we’re cutting to Deku running at Sludgey in order to save Kacchan, oh shit. the most dramatic part of chapter one. clearly no moment is sacred

sob what

I don’t understand this strip at all. is this supposed to be a serious moment inserted unexpectedly among this multitude of joke strips? or did I miss the punchline? heeeeelp

(ETA: okay so. my best guess is that All Might wrote all over Deku’s life-saving advice, and so the joke is that Deku no longer knows what to do when assaulting sludge men because HIS NOTES ARE RUINED. idk. what does 25 P mean??)

now All Might has Done The Thing and saved my boys, and now Mt. Lady is helping with the cleanup. scooping up all the bits of sludge and putting it in trash bags

oh my god

nope nevermind. nope. nope

-- shit. okay, you know what? this first chapter has been a real in-your-face reminder of the fact that the sludge monster was not made of cute sparkly 2018-trending-fad slime, but was in fact composed of RAW FUCKING SEWAGE. (ETA: to be clear, I’m pretty sure the joke in this strip is that she accidentally picked up dog-doo during her clean-up. but still, the fact that it was indistinguishable from the rest of the gunk speaks for itself.) I think I forced myself to gloss over this fact originally due to the nope factor. but just. Izuku and Katsuki were both choking to death on this shit?? and just, how the fuck did they make it out of this not traumatized

and also, like. All Might was straight up going to leave Izuku alone afterwards, just, “well enjoy your autograph, fine citizen” and blasting off out of there. and everyone fucking saw Katsuki almost suffocate to death later on, and after giving him a pat on the back they fucking let him go off on his own too? and you can’t even make the argument that this was Just Another Day In Quirk Society either, because more than a year later, Katsuki is still a bona fide fucking celebrity from the media coverage of his attack. it clearly was not something that happens every day. in conclusion, these kids are resilient as fuck, and thank god for that because people apparently just do not give a shit, holy christ

anyway. at least Mt. Lady had gloves

OH MY GOD

I FUCKING KNEW IT OH MY GOD. THE ROIDS. MUSCLES LIKE THAT DON’T JUST GROW ON TREES, I DON’T CARE HOW MANY LBS OF GARBAGE THIS KID HAULED OFF THE BEACH. THIS BOY BEEN HITTIN THE JUICE

Smash!!Might is so fucking shady omfg. probably sells cheap counterfeit electronics on Amazon

oh shit and that’s the end of the fucking chapter lol. that’s it?? that was only eight pages. fuck it, let’s read another. but first here’s Horikoshi’s note on the spin-off

so he really feels that Neda gets the spirit of the series and understands him. that’s very encouraging. the best spoofs and parodies are done out of love. I really think I’m going to enjoy this series

so! onward to chapter two

so here’s All Might dressed as Mr. 2 Bon Clay from One Piece, I guess??

“you know what’s funny? dressing a man in girl’s clothes LOL.” guys can we grow the fuck up. and also acknowledge that All Might can look good in anything, so this questionable gag wouldn’t have even landed anyway. you work that tutu All Might

lmao check out the past users of OFA here

All for One for All theory fucking confirmed lol. just look. that’s him in the back of the conga line. clearly

so Deku is all “hell yes why would I possibly say no??” but then

HIS LIMBS. lmao. sign here

in all seriousness, given the shit this kid has been through since the part of the series, All Might probably should have gotten him to sign a liability waiver of some sort. not that it would have stood, since Deku is underage! anyways Deku you totally have grounds to sue the shit out of the Symbol of Peace should you ever choose to do so. and the trend of Smash!!Might being shady af continues yes please give me more I love it

so now All Might is giving Deku his fitness plan which has a really elaborate name

given that this is Smash!!Might, I can’t help but wonder if this plan is in actuality some sort of MLM scheme. All Might are you trying to get Deku to do Herbalife

lol what in the fuck

the original series skipped right over a hell of a lot, it would seem. like the time Deku traveled to Arizona and fought coyotes in a poncho

I’m starting to suspect that Neda-sensei might be on some sort of substance. “let’s see what jokes can I make about chapter 2 of BnHA. I know, I’ll send the protagonist to a fictionalized version of the American Southwest in a sombrero, and then turn him into a 65-year-old oil tycoon.” naturally

lmao that’s really it, that’s the strip. moving right along. okay??

now Izuku is staring at the intimidating piles of Beach Trash and is all “I HAVE TO PICK ALL THIS SHIT UP?”

omg Deku no

somebody call Marie Kondo. Deku none of this is salvageable. not even to reuse in a color page photoshoot spread four years from now

OH SHIT

PROVED ME WRONG OH SNAP. SHOWED ME RIGHT WHERE I COULD PUT THOSE SASSY TAKES. MY BAD DEKU I’M SORRY

anyways I don’t know what Smash!!Might is so upset about. he probably wove some kind of clause into the contract Deku signed that allows him a percentage of the profits. unless Deku already spent it all on textbooks

what the fuck is this fucking series lmao

time for a round of “what is All Might casually crushing in this panel?” is it (a) a cardboard box, or (b) like, a mini-fridge or some fucking shit. IT COULD BE EITHER. IT MAKES EQUALLY AS MUCH SENSE EITHER WAY. “HEROES THESE DAYS ARE [FLEEEEEEX] OBSESSED WITH BEING FLASHY” 

holy shit no wonder he ran away to the Sierra Nevada. it’s only a matter of time before this freak fucking kills someone

NOW WE’RE CUTTING AWAY TO KAMUI WOODS DRESSED LIKE A DAFFODIL, IN THE SAME FUCKING COMIC STRIP, BECAUSE REASONS

my jokes about the mangaka being high as a fucking kite when he wrote this are gradually becoming less jokes and more serious inquiries??

lol so he coincidentally just stumbled across All Might and Deku at this exact moment

AND IT WAS A FUCKING REFRIGERATOR OH MY FUCKING GOD

do you guys remember during the final exam when All Might beat the everloving shit out of Deku and Kacchan, and everyone was all “JESUS CHRIST WOULD YOU LEARN TO FUCKING HOLD BACK A LITTLE THEY ARE CHILDREN YOU MANIAC.” but now we can see plain as day that he was, in fact, holding back. anyways Smash!!Might is terrifying as shit and if this had been the main series I would have already pegged him as the final villain by this point

here he is now wearing an old-timey bathing suit but looking more like an escaped convict than anything else

this panel is actually canon. I’ve decided. this 100% definitely happened at some point. especially the swimsuit

now two bikini babes are walking up and they’re all “IS THAT ALL MIGHT??” with excited sparkly eyes because they don’t know that he’s actually a deranged con artist who crushes refrigerators like empty soda cans. this spin-off has truly opened my eyes

LOOK AT THIS SKEEVY FUCK. JUST LOOK

AND NOW HE’S RUNNING OFF AND LEAVING DEKU TO DROWN IN EXHAUSTION, SON OF A

“SUDDEN BUSINESS” KSJLDKF SMASH!!MIGHT IS A FUCKING MENACE TO SOCIETY AND ALSO DOES NOT GIVE ONE SINGLE FUCK. NOT ONE!! HE’S OUT THERE FUCKLESS, AND NO ONE IS SAFE

now Deku is approaching his mom all serious and says he wants to change up his diet

and she’s looking at the menu he prepared all impressed and thinking that she might join him. as long as it’s for your health, Inko. if this manga starts making jokes about your weight, I will beat it over the head with Deku’s textbooks

OMFG

THIS WENT IN THE EXACT OPPOSITE DIRECTION I WAS EXPECTING, AND THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I’VE EVER READ WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. the whole fucking family is on the juice. and the fucking mangaka is on some special juice of his own oh my stars

now we’re cutting to Mt. Lady stomping on a car

thank fuck no one was actually in there. also does she not wear shoes

and also, it only just occurred to me that she must be another person with a special quirk costume, because her suit shrinks and expands along with her. Hagakure and Momo are really getting shafted by the costume design team here. they need to fire some people

anyway so Mt. Lady slipped on this carelessly placed vehicle and fell down and crushed an entire building whoops

bruh, you think you’re “ow.” let’s hope that building was empty too

and now she’s toppling another building just fucking because, I guess. and saying she can’t do urban areas

lmao and now the sidekick [CENSORED] manager from chapter one is back to guilt-trip her omg

I need this man to show up in every freaking chapter. please. respect my wishes

and now Izuku is standing on top of his collected pile of garbage screaming in victory

I only just realized that there’s still a big old Pile O’ Trash on this beach, though. someone needs to haul all of this junk away. or else get All Might and Mt. Lady to crush it all with a combined effort

oh shit here it comes y’all, the famous “eat my hair” scene. potential comedy gold right here omg

lol what the fuck

this man is a fucking billionaire and he’s out here clipping coupons and deleting pictures of his son in order to make room for them smdh

okay now we’re doing the hair scene

oh. oh no. I know where this is going sob please keep this comic rated PG for the children Neda

motherfucker they really --

Smash!!Might is a straight-up felon. this man has no fucking scruples. that’s okay Midoriya-shounen, if you don’t want to eat my hair we could just try some REDACTED, jesus christ I am going to need some bleach for my eyes after this

OR LET’S JUST STRAIGHT UP GO THERE WHY NOT

lmao sob. well, two chapters in and we’ve established that no territory is off-limits here. it’s a brave new world. wow

 so that’s it! our introduction to BnHA Smash!! I enjoyed it a lot and I will definitely be reading more! I’m not sure what kind of schedule I’ll keep, but this is a really good procrastination manga thus far, so knowing me I might actually work my way through this relatively quickly. especially since the Manga At Large is on break this week. anyways my deepest apologies to the many people who have been requesting for me to start Vigilantes instead. I just need something lighter right now, and this is a good fit. one of these days I’ll get my shit together with the other two spinoffs as well.

The fantastic Greek Bakeries

🥖

The fantastic Greek Bakeries and my fantastic childhood memories BY: Greek Cooking Made Easy https://www.youtube.com/greekcookingmadeeasy A wise Greek proverb notes: I earn my bread (i.e. I earn my living)! There are many Greek proverbs using “Bread” and that signifies its importance in Greek culture and society even today 🥖🍞🥯!

Bread kneading on 1st grades’ Greek spelling book!

Greek Bakeries are to date a neighborhood shop for an everyday customary visit. You see, traditionally in Greece, people love bread and fresh bread needs to be on our table everyday! That’s why everyone goes everyday like in a “ritual”, to the local Bakery to buy freshly baked bread and also other baked delicacies like koulouri, cookies, cheese/spinach pies, bougatsa, coffee, cold drinks etc. 

Bakeries still make their own bread everyday, they are open from very early in the morning to knead & prepare it and their tantalizing smells fill the whole neighborhood. 

A Greek Bakery is understandably named in Greek "Fournos" which literary means Oven due to its large ovens in the back of the shop where they bake the bread. 

The Greek bakery has always been there passed on from generation to generation, the central shop where you would go to buy your everyday baked goodies. It is also a place to meet neighbors and friends and gossip with them!

Or exchange a word and news with your Baker called “Fournaris” i.e. the person handling the ovens who knows everyone and everything that is happening. 

However, many years ago when I was growing up in Athens in the 60’s and 70’s, the neighborhood bakery was an even more exciting place, especially on the weekends, for yet one other reason! Bakeries at that time were not just open every day plus the whole weekend to provide freshly baked bread and wonderful cookies and pastries. They were also open to bake the large oven pans from the neighborhood families!!

Traditionally, especially in the past, Greek families used to gather for a big lunch on Sundays after church. Early in the morning, the housewife prepared the food, before heading to church. You have to think that at the time, only a few homes had the luxury of an electric stove, and even so it was very costly and time consuming to bake your food in your own stove. It was much easier and cheaper to give it to the bakery while attending Sunday service, stress free! At the bakery, they had these huge professional electric ovens, not to mention the marvellous wood ovens that preceded them.

In them, bread was already baked from very early in the morning, so they were now available to bake other things. 

The housewife on her way to church, she proudly brought her tray to the local bakery, handed in her dish, the baker wrote her name on the side of the pan either with black coal or a thick marker and also noted the time that the dish needed to be ready for pick up in a small old and oily notebook called “Tefteri”, since he knew exactly how long each tray needed to be baked. I remember it cost about 2 drachmas to bake your food there. In my early teen years, I was usually the one who had to bring our dish to the bakery, covered with a kitchen towel (being the youngest in the family 😅). My Mom usually prepared something special, like a lamb or pork leg with lemony potatoes or Chicken Giouvetsi with Kritharaki (orzo). The bakery had a huge bench were all trays were collected. If the dish included any kind of pasta, then that should be brought in separately-in its packaging-to be added later in the pan. 

When returning to collect your ready dish, the smells in the bakery were out of this world!! I remember getting dizzy with all the scents but also gazing with astonishment at all the beautiful trays with roasts on the bakery’s bench! I still reminisce staring at the baker as he was scooping the pan out of the hot oven with his huge wooden oven shovel. 

Photo from Aegeannews.gr

The baker did something clever: he handed you your hot pan with stacks of folded newspaper sheets to use, instead of oven gloves, in order not to burn yourself while carrying your tray home. I used to carry it back home together with 2 fresh loaves of bread in a plastic bag for the whole family. I was helping my Mom while she was making the table for our family and relatives. You can imagine the moment the food was brought home, the exhilaration, anticipation and excitement from the hungry guests was palpable! And of course, the time when we all sat at the table with the roast as centerpiece and my Father breaking the Bread will be kept in my heart as a beloved memory forever 💖😢! 

I shouldn’t forget mentioning that Greek bakeries were the key places where Greek people also baked all their “special dishes” thus they were inextricably linked with all happy family celebrations 😍:

Sundays-family gatherings: Baked Roasts with Meat/Chicken/Fish

Christmas: Melomakarona, Kourabiedes and Christopswmo

New Year: Vassilopita 

Easter: Lamb, Tsoureki and Koulourakia 

Weddings and Baptisms: Skaltsounia, Kourabiedes and other regional treats

Church offerings: Prosforo Bread and Fanouropita

However, like all good old things, times and customs have changed! Nowadays, city people have their own electric stove to make their Sunday roast! Or they choose not to bake on the weekends anymore and prefer to go out for lunch after a tiresome week, especially since both are working on the weekdays. As a result, most bakeries in the big cities have seized to offer this special service 😫! Thank God, Bakeries still provide us with their wonderful freshly baked bread and other delicacies!

I do know that the old habit of Sunday roast baked at “Fournos”, still exists though in some Greek villages and islands. I saw a few older housewives carrying their trays to their local baker’s when I visited some small villages in Crete!

Photos from a Cretan Bakery with its local delicacies!!

Aw, what I would give to go back in time and see those benches filled with Sunday roasts and smell their terrific fragrances all over again! Even if I had to carry my heavy tray back home 😀…

More Folk Expressions and Proverbs with Bread Whoever does not want to knead, he sifts for ten days (Anyone who does not want to finish a job, delays all the time) He'll eat a lot of bread still (He has a lot to learn) The hungry man dreams of loaves of bread We ate bread and salt together (We have lived a lot together) The good mill will grind everything What you sow you will reap He ate his breads (He won't live for much longer) He gave it for a piece of bread (He gave it very cheaply) This job has a lot of bread (i.e. lots of content) I earn my bread (I earn my living) We have no bread, but lots of radishes for the appetite (We don't have the basics and ask for extras) Anyone who sows laziness, reaps hunger.

Τα φανταστικά Ελληνικά Αρτοποιεία και οι φανταστικές αναμνήσεις από τα παιδικά μου χρόνια BY: Greek Cooking Made Easy https://www.youtube.com/greekcookingmadeeasy Μια σοφή ελληνική παροιμία λέει: Κερδίζω το ψωμί μου! Υπάρχουν πολλές ελληνικές παροιμίες που χρησιμοποιούν το "Ψωμί" και αυτό δείχνει τη σημασία του στον Ελληνικό πολιτισμό και την κοινωνία ακόμα και σήμερα 🥖🍞🥯!

Ζύμωμα Ψωμιού στο Αναγνωστικό της 1ης Δημοτικού!

Το Ελληνικό Αρτοποιείο είναι ένα μαγαζί της γειτονιάς για καθημερινή επίσκεψη. Βλέπετε, παραδοσιακά στην Ελλάδα, αγαπάμε πολύ το ψωμί και φρέσκο ​​ψωμί πρέπει βέβαια να βρίσκεται καθημερινά στο τραπέζι μας! Αυτός είναι ο λόγος για τον οποίο όλοι πηγαίνουν κάθε μέρα σαν σε "τελετουργικό", στο τοπικό Αρτοποιείο, για να αγοράσουν φρεσκοψημένο, ζεστό ψωμί και άλλες λιχου��ιές όπως κουλούρι, μπισκότα, τυρόπιτες / σπανακόπιτες, μπουγάτσα, καφέ, κρύα αναψυκτικά κλπ! 

Τα αρτοποιεία είναι ανοιχτά από πολύ νωρίς το πρωί για να ζυμώσουν και να ψήσουν τα ψωμιά και οι φανταστικές μυρωδιές τους γεμίζουν όλη την γειτονιά. 

Το Ελληνικό αρτοποιείο είναι εύγλωττα ονομασμένο στα ελληνικά "Φούρνος" λόγω των μεγάλων φούρνων του στο πίσω μέρος του καταστήματος όπου ψήνουν το ψωμί. 

Το Ελληνικό Αρτοποιείο είναι πάντα εκεί, επιχείρηση που έχει περάσει από γενιά σε γενιά, το κεντρικό κατάστημα όπου πας για να αγοράσεις τα καθημερινά καλούδια. Είναι επίσης ένα μέρος για να συναντήσεις γείτονες και φίλους και να πεις κάνα νέο ή κουτσομπολιό!

Ή να ανταλλάξεις μια κουβέντα και νέα με τον Φούρναρη (δηλ. το άτομο που χειρίζεται τους φούρνους), που γνωρίζει όλους και όλα όσα συμβαίνουν στη γειτονιά.

Ωστόσο, πριν από πολλά χρόνια, όταν μεγάλωνα στην Αθήνα τη δεκαετία του '60 και του '70, ο Φούρνος της γειτονιάς ήταν ακόμα πιο συναρπαστικό μέρος, ειδικά τα Σαββατοκύριακα, για έναν ακόμα λόγο! Οι Φούρνοι εκείνη την εποχή δεν ήταν απλά ανοιχτά κάθε μέρα, αλλά και ολόκληρο το Σαββατοκύριακο, για να προσφέρουν μόνο φρεσκοψημένο ψωμί και υπέροχα μπισκότα και αρτοσκευάσματα. Είχαν επίσης τη δυνατότητα να ψήσουν τα μεγάλα ταψιά που τους έφερναν οι οικογένειες της γειτονιάς!!

Φωτο από Cretapost.gr

Παραδοσιακά, ειδικά στο παρελθόν, οι Ελληνικές οικογένειες συνήθιζαν να μαζεύονται σε κάποιο σπίτι για το οικογενειακό γεύμα της Κυριακής, μετά την λειτουργία στην εκκλησία. Νωρίς το πρωί, η νοικοκυρά προετοίμαζε το φαγητό, πριν ξεκινήσει για την εκκλησία. Πρέπει να σκεφτείτε ότι εκείνα τα χρόνια, μόνο λίγα σπίτια είχαν την πολυτέλεια ηλεκτρικής κουζίνας, και ακόμα και αν ήταν έτσι, ήταν πολύ δαπανηρό και χρονοβόρο να ψήσεις το φαγητό σου στο δικό σου φούρνο. Ήταν πολύ πιο εύκολο και φθηνότερο στο δρόμο για την εκκλησία, να δώσεις το ταψί στο φούρναρη, ώστε να παρακολουθήσεις και την Κυριακάτικη λειτουργία, χωρίς άγχος! Στον Φούρνο, είχαν αυτούς τους τεράστιους επαγγελματικούς ηλεκτρικούς φούρνους, για να μην αναφέρουμε τους θαυμάσιους ξυλόφουρνους που τους είχαν προηγηθεί. 

Φωτογραφία από παλιό Φούρνο στη Νάξο!

Στους φούρνους, το ψωμί είχε ήδη ψηθεί από πολύ νωρίς το πρωί, οπότε ήταν τώρα διαθέσιμοι για να ψήσουν άλλα πράγματα. 

Φωτογραφία από aenaallo.blogspot.com

Η νοικοκυρά με υπερηφάνεια έδινε το ταψί της, ο φούρναρης έγραφε το όνομά της στην πλευρά του ταψιού είτε με μαύρο κάρβουνο είτε με παχύ μαρκαδόρο και επίσης σημείωνε την ώρα που το φαγητό έπρεπε να είναι έτοιμο για παραλαβή σε ένα παλιό και λαδωμένο Τεφτέρι, αφού ήξερε ακριβώς πόσο χρειαζόταν το κάθε ταψί για να ψηθεί. Θυμάμαι ότι κόστιζε περίπου 2 δραχμές για να ψήσεις το φαγητό σου εκεί. Στα εφηβικά μου χρόνια, ήμουν εγώ εκείνη που έπρεπε να πάω το ταψί μας στο φούρνο, καλυμμένο με πετσέτα κουζίνας (μιας και ήμουν η νεότερη στην οικογένεια 😅). Η μαμά μου τις Κυριακές έφτιαχνε συνήθως κάτι ξεχωριστό, όπως αρνί ή ένα χοιρινό μπούτι με λεμονάτες πατάτες ή Κοτόπουλο Γιουβέτσι με Κριθαράκι. Ο Φούρνος είχε έναν τεράστιο πάγκο όπου συγκεντρώνονταν όλα τα ταψιά. Εάν το φαγητό σου περιλάμβανε οποιοδήποτε είδος ζυμαρικού, τότε αυτό έπρεπε να το δώσεις χωριστά - στη συσκευασία του – ώστε να προστεθεί αργότερα στο ταψί.

Όταν επέστρεφα για να παραλάβω το ψημένο μας φαγητό, οι μυρωδιές στο Φούρνο ήταν φοβερές !! Θυμάμαι να ζαλίζομαι με όλες τις μυρωδιές αλλά και να κοιτάζω με θαυμασμό όλα τα πανέμορφα ταψιά με τα ψητά στο πάγκο και να τρέχουν τα σάλια μου! Εξακολουθώ να θυμάμαι ότι κοίταζα με ανοιχτό το στόμα τον φούρναρη καθώς έβγαζε τα ταψιά από το ζεστό φούρνο με το τεράστιο φτυάρι του. 

Φωτο από Aegeannews.gr

Ο φούρναρης έκανε επίσης κάτι έξυπνο: σου έδινε το ζεστό ταψί με στοίβες από διπλωμένα φύλλα εφημερίδων για να τα χρησιμοποιήσεις, αντί για γάντια φούρνου, ώστε να μη καείς την ώρα που κουβάλαγες το ταψί σου σπίτι. Συνήθως εγώ το κουβαλούσα και μαζί αγόραζα 2 μεγάλα καρβέλια ψωμί σε μια σακούλα για όλη την οικογένεια. Προσπαθούσα να βοηθήσω τη μαμά μου, ενώ εκείνη ετοίμαζε το τραπέζι για την οικογένεια και τους συγγενείς μας. 

Μπορείτε να φανταστείτε ότι τη στιγμή που το φαγητό ερχόταν στο σπίτι, η χαρά, η προσμονή και ο ενθουσιασμός από τους πεινασμένους καλεσμένους ήταν εμφανής! Και φυσικά, η ώρα που καθόμασταν όλοι στο τραπέζι με το ψητό στο κέντρο και ο πατέρας μου έκοβε το ψωμί, θα μείνει στην καρδιά μου για πάντα σαν μια πολυαγαπημένη ανάμνηση 💖😢!

Δεν πρέπει να ξεχάσω να αναφέρω ότι τα Ελληνικά Αρτοποιεία ήταν τα βασικά μέρη όπου ο Ελληνικός λαός έψηνε όλα τα «εορταστικά Φαγητά» και έτσι ήταν άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένα με όλες τις ευτυχισμένες οικογενειακές στιγμές 😍:

Κυριακές-οικογενειακές συγκεντρώσεις: Ψητά με κρέας / κοτόπουλο / ψάρι

Χριστούγεννα: Μελομακάρονα, Κουραμπιέδες και Χριστόψωμο

Νέο Έτος: Βασιλόπιτα

Πάσχα: Αρνί, Τσουρέκι και Κουλουράκια

Γάμοι και βαπτίσεις: Σκαλτσούνια, Κουραμπιέδες και άλλα τοπικές κεράσματα

Εκκλησιαστικές προσφορές: Πρόσφορο και Φανουρόπιτα

Ωστόσο, όπως όλα τα καλά, παλιά πράγματα, τα έθιμα έχουν αλλάξει ή και χαθεί! Σήμερα, οι άνθρωποι της πόλης έχουν τη δική τους ηλεκτρική κουζίνα για να φτιάξουν το ψητό τους! Ή επιλέγουν να μην ψήσουν τα Σαββατοκύριακα πια και προτιμούν να βγουν έξω για φαγητό μετά από μια κουραστική εβδομάδα, ειδικά επειδή και οι δύο εργάζονται καθημερινά. Ως αποτέλεσμα, τα περισσότερα Αρτοποιεία στις μεγάλες πόλεις έχουν σταματήσει να προσφέρουν αυτήν την ειδική υπηρεσία 😫! Ευτυχώς, τα Αρτοποιεία μας παρέχουν ακόμα το υπέροχο φρεσκοψημένο ψωμί και άλλες λιχουδιές και αρτοσκευάσματα!

Ξέρω πάντως, ότι αυτή η παλιά συνήθεια της Κυριακής με το ψητό να ετοιμάζεται στο τοπικό "Φούρνο", υπάρχει ακόμα σε κάποια Ελληνικά χωριά και νησιά. Είδα μερικές ηλικιωμένες νοικοκυρές να κουβαλούν τα ταψιά τους στον τοπικό φούρναρη τους, όταν επισκέφτηκα κάποια μικρά χωριά στην Κρήτη!

Φωτογραφίες απο Αρτοποιείο στη Κρήτη με τις τοπικές λιχουδιές

Αχ, τι δε θα έδινα να γυρίσω πίσω το χρόνο και να δω ξανά τους πάγκους γεμάτους με ταψιά τη Κυριακή και να μυρίσω ξανά τις ορεκτικές μυρωδιές τους! Ακόμα κι αν αυτό θα σήμαινε να πρέπει να μεταφέρω το βαρύ ταψί μου πίσω στο σπίτι 😀...

Άλλες Λαϊκές Εκφράσεις & Παροιμίες για το Ψωμί Όποιος δε θέλει να ζυμώσει, δέκα μέρες κοσκινίζει Τα' φαγε τα ψωμιά του Αυτή η δουλειά έχει πολύ ψωμί Βγάζω το ψωμί μου Το έδωσε για ένα κομμάτι ψωμί Ψωμί δεν έχουμε, ραπανάκια για την όρεξη Ο πεινασμένος καρβέλια ονειρεύεται Όποιος σπέρνει τεμπελιά, θερίζει πείνα Ο καλός ο μύλος τ' αλέθει όλα Ό,τι σπείρεις θα θερίσεις Φάγαμε μαζί ψωμί και αλάτι Θα φάει πολλά ψωμιά ακόμη

Past vs Future final

N/A: FUCK Marvel and I write what I want, btw, I think the only thing Rachel and Kurt have in common is that they both like Kitty. Never form a relationship if the only thing in common you have with your s/o is to say how awesome the third party is.

@djinmer4 @briefladynighttheone @zoetekohana @pudimazul269 @ohmygillygoshoppler @lcitty-lcat @jaytalkedmeintoit @girls-are-weird

The day finally arrives. Ororo, Mrs Pryde and Stevie Hunter are all together gushing about the bride, their past and how time flies ("it was yesterday that I was hush into the hospital to deliver her" "It was yesterday I introduced her to the X-men" "she was just a small spunk girl with a crop saying Bitch, time flies fast") and the bride in itself can´t help by smile, rolls her eyes and (fake) complaining about such topics.

"Guys, I´m just getting married...I still have that crop" Kitty told them brightly looking at herself, then tears fall from her eyes, "I going to marry" her mouth cover her painted lips. Happiness is overcome herself(the anxiety was engulfed by the fact that in a few minutes she will be Mrs Wagner)

Ororo goes to Kitty to help the young woman(still, in her eyes. Their eyes, Kitty is always their little girl) she cleans the tears that now stained the makeover, Mrs Pryde and Stevie Hunter help to redo the makeover patiently as the woman(their little Kitty) are calm down.

" You are going to marry the man you love," Mrs Pryde said " I was the same when I married your father, I couldn´t wait for being Mrs Pryde, and now my little girl is going to marry"

Kitty replied with a big smile on her face. The makeover is completed once again. "Knowing Kurt, I´m sure he already put a service if anyone wants to random marry after our wedding is over"

"Yes, he called that friend of his and your father called the rabbi if someone wants to marry today...then nothing will stop them" Mrs Pryde explained and Kitty smile grins so bright, today is the happiest day of her life. Not the ending, just the beginning of a new adventure.

Meanwhile, in the men section, the groom and the other men are talking about the big day, Kurt Wagner for his part is asking for the hundredth time if his mother is in the reception(she loves to cause trouble)

"Elf, relax" Logan order in his big dad mood", she is not here and if she does show up we can deal with her " his claws leave little to the imagination as what Logan is truly talking about.

Kurt has torn feelings. He knows Mystique is not a mother (not even in name) yet...this woman gives life to him and ...Kurt would love to have his family(a normal one) to congratulate him on his biggest day. Well, at least, he has Rogue(and his friend on the X-men)

Remy, Logan, Scott, Hank and practically every X-men are talking about the new chapter on Kurt´s life, marriage, the blue elf is overjoyed (he will be married to Kitty soon, they will be the Mr and Mrs Wagner) all is put in a halt when Peter Rasputin enter in the men section wanting to talk with Kurt.

For a moment, no one dares to leave, the tension is thick in the room now. Everyone remembers the fiasco of Peter and Kitty weeding and the Russian man may want revenge.

Kurt didn´t seem concern in the slightest. And to prove this he asks for the others to leave. Logan wasn´t very keen on the idea, but Kurt insists they need to talk alone.

Once grant the wish, the Russian and the German man are looking at each other, the tension got even thicker.

"Should I talk first or you want to go?" Kurt sassy back in good humour, Peter didn´t reciprocate the feeling.

"You...are going to marry her? my Katya?" the Russian man speak in disbelief lacing his voice and Kurt´s golden eyes analyse his form(Peter went drinking a lot)

"One, she is not yours, soon she will be my wife and I like to think that my wife...is not an object for you to lust" Kurt fixed his tie and tuxedo and walks freely (no fear, no judgment and no shame)

"She was mine" The Russian man reply a bit confused and Kurt is glad to fix the confusion.

"When you look at 13 years old and think she is mine...that is not a healthy relationship when you say to now grow woman that it was her fault that you couldn´t control yourself, because it is the 13 years girl fault that you fall for her and feel lust, not the other way around, is not a good sign, my friend" Kurt explained patiently like he does with his students.

"But you are older too" Peter replied in bewilderment.

"Oh, 3 years is nothing compared with an 18 years old lusting over 13 years, right my friend" his smile remains on his face " your relationship with Katzchen" the word Katzchen was uttered on purpose " is toxic relationship and you won´t go forward in the future if you continue to hold on with this idea"

Kurt is facing the taller man, no fear, no shame and no judgment.

"I and Katzchen know each other, we saw our darkest moment and still remain together, our bond only gets strong over the years, " Kurt said calmly not " a relationship is based on trust, respect and love"

"I...thought you and Rachel" Peter speak slowly.

"What we had in common was Kitty," Kurt jokes" Rachel is a real lesbian, my dear friend, the only thing we can talk about is Kitty" Kurt scratch his neck in good humour at the joke that went by one Peter´s ear to another.

"...I...What I do, Kurt," Peter said falling on the ground, suddenly he is not taller anymore.

"Simple, you move on, my friend," Kurt said in a collect tone " let go of such tragic and toxic past, just move on"

Peter is mulling over to the situation.

"Do you love her? Do you really love Katzchen?" the word Katzchen sounds alien in his Russian accent.

"Yes, I love her deeply," Kurt answer honestly.

" Promise you will take her out of my hand, you will take care of her, right? She is troublesome and I need to know you will take care of her" Peter said a bit soberer.

Kurt narrowed his eyes to the tall man on the ground and speak kindly.

"She was not a thing to be given, but, rest assure my Russian friend, I´ll take care of Katzchen" Kurt promised in an earnest voice.

"Thank you, Kurt, thank you," Peter said and finally leave the men section. The wedding then begins, Kurt waiting in the alter, nervous and happy at the same time.

Kitty appears with her father and mother walking her through the alter, the wedding is a  mix of Jewish and Christian traditions, the Prydes give their only daughter away to Kurt Wagner and now it seems everything is alright with the world.

" I do," Kurt said

"I do," Kitty said

And finally, they kissed and are officially Mr Wagner and Mrs Wagner, everyone clapped in joy. Peter is ready to let go of the past and move on, Jubilee and Chamber ending proposing each other(in a more discrete way than Rogue and Remy did)

And what many don´t know is that Raven Darkholme is really in the ceremony( the perfume did hide her scent, but only for a little while)  the X-men keep an eye on her, Rogue is not going to let Mystique to ruin the big day.

" Isn´t a nice day for a wedding...Why I wasn´t invited to your wedding?" Mystique inquiry to her daughter who has none of her (supposed) plans.

"Well, you invite yourself anyway, so why are you complaining...why are you here?" Rogue asked

"Oh, I want to see my son getting married, dear, is my duty as a mother"

"Also, it was your duty as mother raise us," Rogue said ready to fight Mystique, but...today is the day of her little brother. Taking a deep breath she said in a low voice " don´t do anything, today, mother...today is the day for Kurt and Kitty if you ruined I ´ll kick your ass"

[dontcallmecarrie]

I just binge read TWiFFON, and its sidefic and almost everything that's here about this universe and sadgkjhakjg you're amazing and this is amazing and I love you and this is one of the best fics (out of MCU fics especially) I've ever read. IM1 is one of my favorite movies ever, I love Tony very much and it hurts to see what they're doing to him in MCU (and what they're doing with all the characters, really), and I love your portrayal of him so much, because that's real Tony. (1/4)

Competent, genius Tony, owner of the huge company, the man, who, without the suit, is still the person who’s built this suit. From scraps. In a cave. In Afghanistan. While being tortured. Revolutionizing science on the way. I’m looking at you, Mr. I-Saw-The-Footage(And-Made-My-Judgment-Before-Actually-Meeting-You-And-Decided-You-Suck). Yeah, you can see how I just -love- Steve in this moment in “Avengers”. (2/4)

I always wondered what footage he saw, btw. From before-Afghanistan? From the IM2 Senate hearing? From the disastrous IM2 b-day party? Even if the scepter amplified their feelings, those feelings had to be there in the first place. And AoU and CW just make me go Hulk, so most of the time I pretend they didn’t happen and don’t exist unless we’re talking about -consequences-. It’s been years and I’m still bitter and salty as the Dead Sea. (¾)

Um. Anyways, I love you and your awesome fic, thank you so much for your writing

Glad you’re liking it so far, and thanks! 

Also: same. [the rest is under the cut because surprise meta’s apparently a thing, as are major spoilers, and I get very rambly, RIP mobile users otherwise.]

I got into the MCU when it first kicked off, and my favorite movie’s a toss-up between IM1 and The Avengers [though, due to recent events, I’m really leaning towards the former nowadays]. I love all the characters, and if I had a heart [because no, I don’t, nope, nothing’s ever made me tear up nope heart of stone right here], it’d be hurting because of the turn the MCU’s taken lately, and the level of character assassination I’ve seen is….the best comparison I can think of include the way Naruto ended [specifically, Sakura], or…well, you get the picture.

Just…the turn canon took, after Phase 1, left a bitter taste in my mouth. Tony’s my favorite character, and seeing how the world’s done its level best to break him when his origin story is literally him forging his armor from the guns that would’ve killed him otherwise is something that I have very strong feelings about. Add to that my spite after seeing the turn the fandom took after Civil War, and I couldn’t not write the fic where he actually [albeit accidentally] took over the world, by taking him back to his roots. 

[aka TWiFFON’s basically me venting passive-aggressively about the issues I have with the MCU]

As for my take on Steve? 

Even if it doesn’t look it, I kinda liked his character, early on. The way his character was mangled by the writers is another thing entirely, however, and after Phase 1 my enthusiasm didn’t wane so much as it tanked, especially after Age of Ultron. [ditto as to Civil War.]

But early on? I actually liked his character. My headcanon/take on his approach during the first Avengers movie was him being adrift in a world that’s moved on without him, so of course he’s clinging to what he remembers. 

That ended up being something that SHIELD/HYDRA took advantage of, though, and while Fury tried to help, the HYDRA guys did their level best to sabotage him, which succeeded in ways that don’t show up until later on. For instance, while Fury’s crew was the one to break the news of ‘so you slept 70 years, welcome to the future’, it was a HYDRA contingent that were the ones to ‘ease’ him into it, and so his briefings on history and whatnot were basically sabotaged. 

As in, they made sure to focus on the shitty parts of the past century, and glossed over the progress, and did their best to be subtle about it so that when Fury came around, he thought it was ‘okay Steve’s still settling in and hurting’ rather than ‘Steve’s hurting and everywhere he looks only makes it worse’. I mean, it wouldn’t even have been hard; breaking the news would’ve been dicey enough as is, but I can guarantee that HYDRA would’ve pulled no punches in painting everything to be as shitty as they could. 

I mean, even if they were trying to help, it would’ve been hard enough: because good luck updating the guy who literally did a suicide run to prevent his home country from being bombed about the Manhattan Project. 

That alone would’ve been messy enough, but also going through Korea and Vietnam and the list just goes on, while also trying to go ‘we’re the good guys’, and I’m pretty sure Steve’s faith in humanity would’ve taken a hit somewhere in there. And that’s if it was SHIELD who was doing it; if it was HYDRA instead? Just…yikes.

And Tony has a lot of fodder that could be used against him. 

He’s a powerhouse, a loose cannon, and is very visibly anti-establishment when it comes to some things, so when Steve’s trying to cling to a vestige of the past, it’s so, very easy for a HYDRA technician to pull some clips of Tony’s messing around and gloss over ‘yeah he’s also a genius and built a suit somewhere along the way’ while doing their level best to make sure that Steve does not like Tony, because if those two got along it would not end well for HYDRA so best nip that in the bud. [I’ve got a fic idea that plays with that premise, actually, but…rambling again, oops.]

Doesn’t help that people’s values have changed, either; nowadays, we’re a lot more cynical as to what’s going down in Congress, for instance, or the military-industrial complex, so just right there’s some culture clash. Iirc, pre-Nixon, people viewed what happened in DC differently than they do now, and I don’t think Clinton helped any, either. And that’s just one example.

tl;dr: I headcanon that HYDRA sabotaged Steve’s possible relationship with Tony, among other things. 

Now, when it comes to the world domination thing…

You can probably tell I’m having a lot of fun with it. It’s part of what helps keep the tone of TWiFFON fun for me to write, and I’m choosing to go the cracky route instead of the grimdark serious one because this fic’s self-indulgence at its finest, and my life is stressful enough as is. 

Because, I mean, for me it’s either laugh or cry, and I can’t afford to cry, when it comes to the tire fire that’s going on. I can laugh or cry, so I’d rather go for deadpan ‘so apparently this shit’s more plausible than some of what I’m seeing in the news’ rather than get even more gray hair stressing out over stuff I have no control over. [Playing with power dynamics in a fictional universe where there’s magic and aliens is very good stress relief, is what I’m saying.] Plus, y’know, it gives me an outlet for whenever I see yet another ‘Tony Stark was the villain!’ post. 

You probably know that originally, TWiFFON was supposed to be way darker [and shorter]. However, thanks to…life, I decided to go for broke and went ‘screw it, this is stress relief so might as well go for broke’, and since I love the Accidental World Domination trope…[getting rambly again, oops] 

Thus, why it’s going to take a literal Destroyer of Worlds to break it to Tony that yes, he took over the world. Oops. 

However, since apparently I can’t help but be pedantic about power dynamics and politics and whatnot: it’s probably more low-key than some of my readers are expecting. Here, it’s not going to really show until we reach the Final Battle arc, but I’m trying my best to avoid imperialistic tones where that part’s concerned. 

Like, yes, the fic’s going to devolve to crack by then, but the world domination part’s going to end up being due to basically [heads up for major fic spoilers]:

The world: so 

The world: you have Skynet in your pocket. A horde of them, even.

Tony: guys, you are so grounded why’d you pull that stunt I told you—

JARVIS: *is unrepentant*

FRIDAY: *is also unrepentant*

JOCASTA: *is shamelessly using her full capabilities to help clean up the battlefield*

Tony: JARVIS, you were supposed to the the role model, not the bad influenc—

Tony: wait what do you mean you want me to take them offline

Tony: okay you know what? Fight me

on top of everything else. But the above being the main motivation for Tony’s not stepping down after the Final Battle, and I intend to go into more detail when the matter comes up. [Hopefully I do it right.]

But for the most part?

It’s not like he can put it on his shelf to collect dust or anything, no way does he want to rule the world! Tony’s got more than enough power as is, and he’s happy enough being the Head of R&D. Hell, he’s got more than enough as his plate as is, why the fuck would he want to add to his workload?! Strange, stop laughin—Rhodey, why are you giving Hope money? Thor, you too—what do you mean ‘you lost a bet’? JARVIS, you are so grounded!

aka his life is s u f f e r i n g because he didn’t sign up for any of this, thank you very much, how is this his life, where did he go wrong in his life choices?

Strange, you can stop laughing any time now. Any time. 

…screw it, might as well roll with it. Anyone mind if they call themselves the Federation if any other aliens come around? Or would that violate some copyright law? 

meanwhile, elsewhere: 

everyone at Stark Industries is scratching their heads and wondering where the miscommunication happened before shrugging and carrying along because business as usual now includes world domination, oops

Pepper’s in Maui finally getting her vacation. 

JARVIS doesn’t really mind, as it simply means he has less variables to control for to help keep Tony safe and happy, so he’s completely and utterly shameless about it all. Even if he’s so, very grounded for pulling the stunts he did during the Final Battle arc. 

Fury is in an unspecified location, laughing at Tony while also feeling very proud of him because this is the opposite of a problem and free entertainment at its finest, yes, this was worth it. Not what he’d expected, but most definitely worth the headache.

[just putting it out there to hopefully give an idea of what I’m aiming for, at the end of the fic.] Hopefully it gets across right. Just…world domination, but with a kinda relaxed take on things.

Kinda sorry for the spoilers, but that moment’s one of the ones I’ve been really looking forward to and it’s been the better part of a year and this fic just keeps growing.

[fuck-customers]

17 year old female  Kansas baked chicken worker from australia again!

this will be collections of fuck customer's, fuck co workers and wtf customers.

This one happened when i was first starting, i was on front counter like usual and that night we had run out of potato for the potato and gravy, so instead of the large potato and gravy that came with meals, we made sure our order taker told the customers they would get a plain gravy (same price in meals, but cheaper outside meals) and so our order taker is telling everyone this (and our drive through packers also have headsets and they can hear everything) and this one couple get their gravy in drive through then come storming in front when i was serving and start yelling at me and i didnt know what to do so i got my manger (Call her MC) to come help and the man (call him AC) just yells at MC that they are getting ripped off as its cheaper for a gravy than a potato and gravy, so MC tells them that its the same price in the meal. AC doesnt accept this, instead rants on about how they were never even told that there was no potato (remember 3+ people heard them be told and them agree to it) and so then the order taker ( call her K) comes and tells them this too and they just yell more. all the while i am standing there almost crying as thats just what happens to me when people yell and then AC starts ranting about how he wanted to see MC's boss (she is the boss for that shift) and that he worked in management for 20 years and this is BS. eventually i went around the back and i didnt know how we got him to leave, but dude ffs, the difference is $1 go buy 1 potato around the corner and mash it your self as ours is just from a packet.

Next we have one recently were i was on front again serving and packing like a boss, and i had this new girl with me ( lets call her G), first of all the day before she came in and demanded a shift so she got the same shift as me (4-8) and our uniform policy is no ear rings, but what did she do, after being told she would have a shift the next day? goes and gets her ears pierced, and claims she cant take them out, then refuses to put bandaids over them as they are "ugly". she also got mad when she was told to put a hair net on because i didn't wear one (policy is that if your hair is longer than shoulders it needs to be in a bun and then a hair net, mine is barely passed my ears and i push it back under my hat) and as she is new and i have been there for over a year, my manager tells me to just train her on things and tell her jobs to do, and i always clean when there are no customers as there is never nothing to do, and she was just standing there playing with the large note safe we have, like wtf, so i ask her to go get a job from my manager (once again its MC) and she huffs then goes, later on (like 15 min) she is standin doing the same thing, so i tell her that i think MC might have a job for her as MC told me earlier, and that job was to clean the fridge glass, so i tell her how and she says its stupid (like???? maybe but its what you were told to do), then another girl who has been working there for 5 months comes on ( we shall call her J), she is serving too, so she gets told to count her till before she starts serving, she counts it, take 20 minutes to count her STARTING TILL (takes 2 minutes tops ass its hardly anything in it) and then she gives the wrong change 5 times, so she needs keys to open the till again, like take the 5 extra seconds to count change correctly, i get it we make mistakes, but in the year ive worked there ive done that only 3 times, not 5 times one shift, and she constantly needs help for the simplest orders, and then the fuck costumer comes in, this guy comes in and asks to swap the crunchy salad (it comes free with a certian meal so we cant swap it) to a large side, and the rule is, if you cant do a swap on the register, we cant swap it. no ifs or buts, and J tells this guy and he starts yelling that they have done it before, so she calls me over and i handle it, i tell him the rule, he just yells (while spitting on me and speaking like jfc) "BUT ITS BEEN DONE AT THIS STORE BEFORE" well sorry buddy but im not the person who did that, im not risking my job for ur salad u can just throw away or refuse to take like damn. now end of shift, im cleaning up until my shift ends, like i always do, G is just standing, leaning on the bench talking to her family, we are not allowed to lean on the bench, so i tell her this, she scoffs, i also tell her to go get a job from MC, she says "but i finish in 5 minuets" it does not fucking matter, we work till end of shift. and i walk around the corner then come back AND SHE IS FUCKING LEANING ON THE DONATION BOX, LIKE WHAT DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT NOT LEANING, and like i wasnt going to ask nicely this time, i just simply said "hey, no leaning" and she scoffs again, like dude, chill, follow the rules. 8 pm rolls around, i go to my manger and ask if i can finish (this is protocol) and i see G about to clock out, so i ask her "did you ask MC if you could finish" (MC was right next to me btw) and she just rudely says "i finish at 8 so no" and ii say "youre meant to ask the manager if you can clock off" MC backs me up and says its because she might have more jobs but sends her home any way. but i wish she gave her a job just to spite her. but before end of shift, it was slow, so MC tells me to take my till off and count it, now it was full, like coins to the top, it took me 4 minuets, so i was sitting down for all of 4 min, and G gets upset that i was being lazy, LIKE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SAT DOWN ALL SHIFT I DIDNT EVEN STAND AROUND DOING NOTHING AT ALL.

now the wtf customer

The night before that it was 5 min till i go home, and this man walks in, and asks me "you dont know anyone who wants to buy a caravan do you" i say no hoping he would just order, but instead talks about it for 5 minuets, then orders, and goes to pay by waving his hand at the eftpos machine, then saying paywave doesnt work, so he does the same thing with his card, then finally does it correctly, and i pack his food so fast just to get him outta there, and he asks to see my manager, i think "oh shit what did i do wrong" BUT HE JUST ASKS HER ABOUT IF SHE KNOWS ANYONE WANTING TO BUY A CARAVAN LIKE DUDE THIS IS A CHICKEN SHOP GO HOME!

sorry this was so long but i had a lot to get off my chest

[nothing-but-kpop-dreams]

A bit about us ^-^

Hello! We are Wishes In Writing! This blog has been around for about 7 months now.We all thought it was time to more or less introduce ourselves to you all that way there is a sense of a person behind the post. 

Just because we are posting this, doesn’t mean we aren’t looking for new admins to join. If you would like to apply and try to be apart of this blog with us. Just go to this link and read up on how you can apply. :)

Admin Boat:

Hi! I am Admin Boat. I am the one who created this blog and I kinda worked solo on it until Satellite and Cloud joined me. Writing is a very new hobby to me. I never really wrote much until about two years ago. I decided to make this blog because with the new found love of writing. I wanted to make kpop scenarios and all that without congesting my already spam like main blog.  

Now for the hard part… A bit about me: I am very much a plain Jane, vanilla flavored person . I am from Texas… I like to write (obviously) , i like watching tv and listening to music. So you know, i’m just like super basic in that sense. I love dogs. I am a pretty big nerd. A highlight of this was back in high school when a few acquaintances and I had a huge talk about different types of calculators…yeah that actually happened. ( i won’t say how long that conversation was because that will make it more embarrassing).

A more obvious thing about me is that i love kpop. I am a huge multifandom person. I have been into kpop for about 5 or 6 years now. I love groups like super junior, girls generation, f(x), big bang, bts, got7, shinee, block b, monsta x ,astro, exo, nuest, red velvet. …it would probably be easier for me to list the groups i am not a huge fan of. I just love all kpop. I try to support anyone and everyone as much as i can because all idols work so hard to do something they love.  The only cool part about me is probably the concerts i have been to.  I was so darn lucky to have gone to the GOT7 fan meet in Houston, to see Shinee in Dallas and to G-dragon’s concert in Houston (No i am not from that area of texas btw. I live in deep Texas at least 4 hours away from San Anotino.  A more accurate description is that i am like 10-20 minutes from the Mexican border… Yes, i happen to be Latina as well.)

When it comes to my writing style I like to keep things as real as possible. I tend to include alot of foul language or try not to stray away from sensitive/more serious topics ( this being the reason as to why to I gladly took in the alopecia request and the infertility request). My favorite type of genre to writing is angst. Don’t get me wrong though i am a sucker for fluffy stuff, but i do try to hold back on the cringe. Smut is something i can’t write though.  I have yet to become comfortable with writing (even reading) smut. 

Admin Satellite:

Yo readers, Satellite here! I was the second admin that joined the blog. Me and Boat got to know each other through her previous work and I just kind of wanted to try writing too.

So, now over to me and my narcissistic ass; I’m kind of a weird turd from the northern parts of Sweden. If you hadn’t already noticed I’m quite weird… But hey, normal is boring! Anyways, I am mixed-race (Thai-Swedish) so I can speak both languages and English pretty fluently - I love languages and I’m currently learning more Asian languages since I find them more interesting.

When it comes to hobbies, I have a lot of them. Usually people ask me how many hours I have in a week since I do so much. I don’t think it’s that much… But it does get to me sometimes and causes stress. My main hobbies however include; travelling, dancing, everything music (singing, playing instruments etc.), learning languages, science (I go the science program at school and I’ll graduate this summer thank god), writing, painting, drawing, memes… and the list goes on.

As for writing style I love keeping it real, just like Boat. I also don’t really censor anything so swearwords and triggering content might usually occur (I do put warnings before though so don’t worry). Recently I have been quite busy though so I haven’t had the time to be active. But I’ll try my best as soon as my senior project is over and school starts to calm down.

Admin Cloud:

Hey Guys! I’m Admin Cloud and I am the third admin of this fantabulous blog. I was (still am) a big fan of Admin Boat and Satellite’s writing (I even requested some of their scenarios), so as I was going through their blog, I saw the admin wanted post and thought. Hmmm why not? So here I am!

Anyways, about me. Welllllllllllll…….I’m a military brat, and I’m currently living in Japan, sadly not in Tokyo, but close enough (only an hour train ride). Sadly I don’t speak Japanese nor do I know how to read, I know a few words and phrases but nothing that could hold a conversation. BUT I am Filipino and I could understand and somewhat speak Tagalog. 

As far as hobbies go, singing is always the first thing that comes to mind. I love singing and honestly, you’d probably get tired of me singing or humming if you were around me for so long. BUTTT other than singing and obsessing over k-idols, I also enjoy a little photography, doing makeup, reading, writing, playing (and winning prizes) from claw machines, and most importantly…..collecting CD albums. I know collecting albums is “so outdated” but I love it! I have an entire box filled to the top with albums, and not just kpop albums (although the kpop industry takes CD albums to another freaking level) but also western artist’s albums. I hope that my album collections continues to grow so I could potentially have an entire room dedicated to them ^.^

Finally, a little bit about my writing style. I’ve been writing stories since I was in probably 6th or 7th grade. Ever since I stumbled upon Quizazz (now Quotev) and Wattpad, I’ve been inspired to write sappy love stories to make up for my lack of love live…JOKEEEE lol not really. Anywayssss I’m more comfortable with 1st person writing but I’m willing to challenge myself in order to grow as a writer. As for censorship, I do use curse words for dramatic purposes but if I feel that the scene could move on without any foul language, then I try my best to keep it clean. Just like Admin Boat, I also like to write angst, just because I feel like I could make it more realistic than if I were to write some fluffy stuff. But smut I’m a little uncomfortable with writing. I mean sometimes I read some smut but reading it is wayyyyy different than writing it. BUT if someone were to request it, I won’t shy away from the challenge ;))) 

Again, we are still up to a new admin joining us. If you are interested, please take a look at this post 

[victor-v]

so yesterday i finished all for the game for the second time in my life (weird thing i've never read a book or series twice) and it wrecked me for the second time. it was unexpectedly nice that i actually understood everything with so much clarity, but that makes sense i've got lot of practice in reading english since then. also, i wrote my thoughts on the book this time.

i can't understand how a book can have such an impact on me, i hate that and i love it, everything else that crossed my mind is under the cut

★huh andrew really bullied aaron into dressing identical to mess up with neil

★"i don't swing either way" is the phrase that made me feel more valid that the whole queer community ever

★neil is pure nihilism

★how can i EVER forget neil wore a tight long sleeved TORN tshirt that andrew bought this is way too much

★seth is dead and all kevin can think about is the line up tbh i do that often

★they are making a scandal about how they sit

★kevin telling neil "destroy him" filled me with power

★the most unreal part is neil ALWAYS keeping his roots another colour the guy must dye his hair every fucking week

★how did neil buy andrew's promise to protect him from the japanese mafia's professional murderers when the only people he physically bullies is an obsessive young adult with anxiety, a princess in high heels and his sunshine sister in law

★wait a fucking minute andrew saw neil filled with terror while holding the phone and immediately gave him the car keys so he could be alone fuck

★nicky fucking hemmick attended to improv class

★ according to dan few athletes were crude enough to start trouble at an ERC event, you mean as crude as neil?

★how to take care of your teammate while he's in a crisis according to: andrew→show concern and reassure him. wymack→10 seconds of vodka

★"hey, jean. jean valjean" is peak comedy

★the ravens walking in v formation is genuinely the most cringy thing you can think of

★neil first finds out the only possible person to date him is andrew because he was jealous of renee are you kidding me

★andrew only missed 13 from 150 shots on goal for fucking real what a Man

★renee is an angel, she's specifically andrew's angel

★neil truly is a watcher

★bee wearing a bee costume is the only good thing on this world

★dan and matt dressed like greek gods!!!!! they can adopt me already

★can you believe nicky is the one who got into neil's brain and planted the idea of realying on someone, and since then neil actively pursues an investigation on andrew's relationship status how on god's name i missed that HOW he's not even subtle about it damn

★he first worries about renee now about kevin goddamn it josten how can't you se how much you care about him

★it's funny how sexuality is such a heavy topic between them when they sure as fuck have some pretty huge stuff going on you know like dying in the hands of the mafia or being tortured

★i imagine andrew running to renee all bonkers like "listen if the cute guy asks, for fucks sake tell him i'm gay but make it ~casual~ maybe this way he'll get it"

★the sole mention of thanksgiving dinner makes me want to die

★kevin is checking the scores in a newspaper I forget this book is so 00's

★they should have spent the day eating turkey and frozen pie at abby's fuckkkkkkkk

★are you kidding me they are in the middle of a conversation and andrew casually chokes neil a little but it's ok they carry on wtf

★"we are all going to regret this" is the fucking worse piece of foreshadowing in this book

★neil interrogating andrew the same night he was raped what kind of fucking piece of shit does that

★i can't fucking believe neil went ahead and shoved andrew's hand under his tshirt in front of kevin, wymack, betsy and two fucking lawyers are you kidding me

★neil asking "are we? friends?" to nicky is so relatable because i also would have an aneurysm if someone told me i am their friend

★someone else tries to flirt with him and he immediately considers andrew how i was too ace to see it the first time i read

★jesus fucking christ riko is one truly fucked up sociopath and neil is the bravest motherfucker on the land

★how can he face riko like that in the nest and be extremely pure in other occasion

★"are we watching the ball drop? i want to make a wish" he wants to make a wish and i want to die thanks

★i can't believe the whole if it means losing you then no and side effect of the drugs shit it's unreal fucking unreal how oblivious neil is too ace to realize anything SOMEONE JUST CALLED YOU "DREAM" THE LEVEL OF ROMANTICISM

★the amount of heavy staring in this trilogy is ridiculous and all i can think about is twilight

★these books made me see how far from the 00s we are, for many reasons, but mostly for some jokes that can't let slide; like calling neil a battered wife, domestic misogynistic violence is not a joke

★i can't believe from all people, wymack was the first one to get andrew was into neil

★"that doesn't mean I wouldn't blow you" is such a funny phrase to be said casually why is it

★"you are a racoon, not a fox" oh andrew

★it only took andrew admitting he had a crush for neil to be all sentimental and shit, and that disarmed andrew too

★they are like some kind of animal that while you think they are fighting, they are actually mating, that's exactly what nora meant with feral

★half of last book is neil mooning over andrew jfc

★nicky made neil smile while distracting him from riko im gonna throw myself off a cliff

★i can't quite believe neil goes through a detailed monologue about andrews memory the man is impressed and borderline turned on about every talent on his crushe's shelf

★i literally can't follow and will never understand the quarrel/promise/agreement between aaron and andrew what a bunch of pretentious idiots

★every time neil's phone buzzes all i fear is the fucking countdown

★i thought "i want to see you lose control" was a collective fever dream i can't believe it's written on the books

★if i was nicky i already have told andrew to stop his freaky pretentious shit towards me

★neil to the upperclassman: ha ha fellas is it gay to unthinkingly call andrew in the middle of a anxiety breakdown

★"you gave me a key and called it home" is as soft as heartbreaking i want to jump off a cliff

★"i won't be like them, i wont let you let me be" is actually pushing me off that cliff andrews feelings are a fucking storm

★neil was kidnapped and tortured the day of my bday and that's not a coincidence

★neil's talent to twist the truth in order to convince andrew of anything is outstanding

★excuse me they have no right to be this soft i hate them

★they miss so many opportunities to be funny about the whole "protection" thing

★did he really had a mental breakdown over where to fucking sit on the bus lmao

★"don't come crying to me when someone breaks your face" is the second most awful piece of foreshadowing

★lets be honest for a second andrew should be a fucking writer because all those things he says? edgy myspace pretentious poetry

★im sorry but i don't care about literally anything except neil smiling onto andrew's neck bye

★andrew ghosted a kiss across neil's hip im dead for real

★abby kissed neil's forehead farewell after cleaning all his injuries i have no words he's recieving all the affection he deserves

★cant believe you don't see aaron is fucking worried neil is taking advantage of andrew

★i mean yeah ok don't talk love but neil is sad that nicky thinks it was only hate sex, and he immediately acknowledged it meant more than that to him bc his demi btw wtf does hate sex mean i can't believe you hate someone so much you wanna suck his dick

★they all went horseback riding when will i have a group of friends like that

Harry Potter Preference: Pranks

Golden Trio Era: 

Harry Potter

Chosen one, chosen one, chosen one, no one can get enough of the bloody chosen one, you thought to yourself, sure Harry was a great guy, but he was becoming a bit full of himself due to this whole chosen one thing, if there was anyone who could pull him out of the clouds, it was you.

“Harry, can I please borrow your Potions book for a minute? I left mine in my dormitory,” You explained, he hesitantly handed it to you. You flipped it to the page you’d be studying next class, and you add some instructions of your own, not even the Half-Blood Prince can help you now my love.

The next day you watch your best friend carefully, he finally sprinkles in the crushed poppy seeds, the potion instantly explodes in his face, leaving him with bright green hair, you burst into a fit of laughter, and he instantly turns to glare at you, “Now even your hair looks like your mother’s eyes Harry !”

“Why Y/N?!”

“You were chosen darling,” You laugh, sarcastically caressing his cheek, he has no choice but to laugh along.

Ron Weasley

You fumed as you walked up to your best friend Ginny Weasley, her brother Ron had just spilled all his pumpkin juice all over you, and he left without a single apology, Ginny offers you her only suggestion, “I think this calls for a prank!”

You go down to the common room, with a box in your hands, “Ron, your sister asked me to give you this gift!”

His face lit up as he snatched the box from you, and attempted to remove the lid, but his hand couldn’t reach, “My hands are glued to the box! Y/N what’s in here?!”

You kindly remove the lid and he lets out a high pitched scream upon seeing three large tarantulas in the box, “Y/N! Y/N please, please stop this!” You feel horrible upon seeing the fear in his eyes.

“Ron! I’m so sorry!” You take the box from his hands and put it aside, “I didn’t know you were so afraid!”

“It’s alright, I was the asshole earlier today,” He puts out his hand and you shake it, “I guess this means we’re even?” you nod, “Friends?”

“Friends.”

Draco Malfoy

“Draco!” You call out, announcing your presence in the Slytherin common room. He turns towards you as do all the other students, everyone was used to this due to the fact that Draco and you were best friends.

“What?” He responds glumly, he was annoyed with all the attention Harry was getting from the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

“I got you a gift to cheer you up love,” You say sarcastically, sticking a bag in front of you.

“Y/N, that bag is squirming,” He says, looking slightly worried, you roll your eyes, muttering something about him being a cowardly git, you reach into the bag and pull out a large, white ferret, Draco lets out a girlish scream and hops on to the couch.

“Get that bloody thing away from me!” You laugh, as does the rest of the common room, “MY FATHER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS.”

“Relax,” You put the ferret away, “We all know your father won’t hear anything, besides, you love me.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure,” You chuckle and playfully cuddle into his side.

Neville Longbottom

You hear a cry coming from around the corner, you quickly rush towards the sound, only to find your best friend, Neville, as a target of another prank. His skin was tinted purple and the Weasley Twins were laughing in a corner. You pull out your wand, “You’re assholes you know!”

“Is that so Y/L/N?” Fred asked.

“Care to elaborate?” George adds cheekily, it’s impossible to stay mad at these two.

You shake your head, “Just fix him you gits!”

With a wave of their wands, Neville turns back, and the boys walk away, “Thanks Y/N.”

“Anything for my best friend,” You say cheerfully, talking his arm and heading down to the common room.

Fred Weasley

You walk through the hallways, it’s a Hogsmeade weekend so there’s not many students at the school, you decided to stay back because the quiet Hogwarts castle seemed more appealing to you than the crowded streets of the village.

You hum as you climb the stairs to the Gryffindor Tower, just as the portrait opens and you step in, you are drenched by a bucket of cold water, you let out a squeal of shock, the room is completely empty aside from the twins who are sitting in the corner having a good laugh.

“Looking good Y/N!” Fred calls out, you look down and find that your white shirt is completely see through. You quickly wrap your arms around yourself and you blush furiously.

“You assholes!” You call out.

“You know you love us darling!” Fred winks.

George Weasley

You sit with your boyfriend, George, and his brother in their room at Grimmauld Place, the three of you gather ingredients to prepare the perfect snack for the boys’ younger siblings, Ron and Ginny. You prepare the cupcakes and leave them out by the living room, you then wait for your victims.

You have your head resting on George’s shoulder when you hear him mutter, “Bloody hell!”

You look up to see Sirius Black and Remus Lupin treating themselves to your cupcakes, you curse under your breath, and Fred whispers to run. Just as you three get up Remus calls out, “What the- where are you three going.”

You turn to see both Remus and Sirius with inflated heads, you bite the inside of your cheek to keep yourself from laughing and George bites his tongue, but Fred bursts into laughter and instantly regrets it. You stare at the faces of your former professor and his friend, until Sirius also bursts into laughter, “This. Is. Genius! Bloody hell Remus, Prongs would have loved to see this!”

You don’t quite understand what he’s talking about but the three of you join in with his laughter, and with a wave of his wand, Remus fixes their heads.  

Marauder Era:

James Potter

You stand by the stairs to the Gryffindor tower, waiting for your best friend James, he was out pulling one of his mastermind pranks. He suddenly comes sprinting towards you, “Prank gone wrong! Hurry!”

You hear a set of footsteps rush your way, James looks up towards the tower, and you whisper, “We’re not gonna make it! We need to hide!”

You step in front of him as he leans against the wall, “Kiss me.”

“Wh-what?!”

“Damn it James! Just do it!” He obliges, pressing his lips against yours, and intertwining his hands into your hair. James’ victims approach you and one of them groans, “Get a room!”

They mutter something about him being gone and the footsteps retreat, but James doesn’t pull away, you whisper against his mouth, “They’re gone you know?”

“I know,” He mutters huskily, pressing his lips to your once again.

Sirius Black

You watch from the distance as the 6th year announcer calls out the names of the Ravenclaw team, the three houses apart from Slytherin were cheering for them. You stick your hands in your pockets, hoping your prank worked. The announcer calls for the Slytherin team, there’s a collective mumbling in the crowd when the team doesn’t appear. Your heart sinks at the thought of no one seeing your beautiful prank, Professor McGonagall calls the team again and this time the team appears, however rather than sporting their usual green robes, they were wearing bright blue and pink. The announcer says something about cotton candy but you don’t hear him properly over the laughing crowd.  

You watch them fly across the field and chuckle at the blurs of bright colours. You eventually decide to get to the showers before the game ends and someone realizes that you were behind the prank. You turn the corner and walk right into a solid figure, you look up and realize that your hands are pressed up against Sirius Black’s chest. You curse under your breath and quickly step back, “Sorry.”

“Well, well, well Padfoot, look what we have here?” James says, looking at Sirius’ chest, your eyes widen at the sight of two pink and blue handprints on his robe.

“I-I didn-”

“Looks like you’ve been caught red handed love, or should I say pink and blue handed,” He smirks, “I’m honestly surprised that we didn’t think of this first! Maybe you’d like to work with us someday?”

“I’ll take your offer into consideration Black,” You smirk back, before heading off towards the bathroom.

Remus Lupin

You sit in the library with your boyfriend, Remus, he reads over his notes to you, hoping that the information will resonate for your test tomorrow. To his dismay however, he finds you fiddling with your wand and falling asleep, “Y/N! Focus!”

“Sorry love! Please continue,” Remus does, turning his focus back onto his notes. You use your wand to shuffle around the books on the desk in front of you. Soon enough your Marauder instinct kicks in, you levitate the ink bolt of the boy at the table next to you. You lift it over his head, and when he goes to dip his quill, you spill it over his head. He yelps and jumps out of his seat, you instantly clean the ink off his head with a flick of your wand, and the poor boy looks even more confused as he feels is completely dry head.

You gently chuckle and turn your attention back to Remus, only to find him already watching you. He simply shakes his head with a small smirk, and goes back to studying.

Peter Pettigrew

“Hey Y/N!” Your close friend, Peter, says, walking up to you, “I want to show you something, will you come with me?”

“Sure Peter!” He leads you off of the castle grounds, then takes your arm to apparate somewhere. Once your feet hit the ground once again you look around. You’re in a dark graveyard, and you suddenly hear a horrifying laugh. You whip your head around and see a large figure standing in front of you, Voldemort.

You see a green flash in front of you, and the last thing you hear before everything disappears is, “Gotcha!”

A/N: IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY(s) WITHOUT YOU MY FRIENDS! I’m sorry about Peter, I just couldn’t help it! If you want me to add another character, just let me know (I’m not adding Snape tho, unless you want it to be like Peter’s, sorry.) BTW this wasn’t requested, I was kinda feeling inspired, so enjoy!

ECO-TIP #2 ~ Cleaning up waste from nature

What you need:

a pair of plastic or garden gloves

plastic bags (I prefer three per person, one for mixed waste, another for cardboard and the third for metal waste. You can also have one for glass if there is a lot of it)

water-proof boots (especially when cleaning near a creek or river)

motivation and/or spunk

empathy and caring about nature and wildlife

a few hours

a spot to clean

(a water bottle to keep you hydrated if the weather is hot )

What you don’t need:

anyone’s approval or permission

negativity (e.g. “it doesn’t make a difference” or “what will people think of me”)

A creek that flows between a meadow and a forest in a place I’ve cleaned up during the past few days. Notice the coffee cup, though luckily it’s no longer there because I’ve already recycled it.

How to do it:

Find a spot that needs to be cleaned up. It can be anything from forests and rivers to beaches and parking lots.

Choose a date with good weather (if it’s raining that day or something) and an hour of the day that suits you. I like mornings best as I am most energetic then and nature seems to be most vibrant at that hour. You might want to avoid doing this at night when there isn’t a lot of light, so you might have difficulty figuring out what is rubbish.

Get your boots, gloves, bags and spirit ready (also lunch if you wish).

Either divide your area into sections or choose what type of waste you’ll collect first to keep yourself motivated.

Sort the waste as you pick it up. From my experience mixed waste and cardboard come in biggest numbers, but I’ve also started to keep along a bag for metal waste.

Take breaks to look around you and breathe. Because you’ll be squatting and hunching a lot, stretch your muscles - especially your back and arms.

Empty the bags when full.

Continue until you’re done. You can also divide the work for multiple days, you don’t have to do everything at once. 

Thank yourself, you did amazing!!

Inform people, don't let your effort go into waste but amplify it.

Hummocks of soft green moss, twigs and pine trees from a forest in taiga (=northern coniferous forest area) during a sunny noon in Finland. I found a CD, about 50 coffee cups, 4 snuff boxes, plastic spoons, a huge jug for coolant, cigarette boxes and all sorts of stuff that definitely didn’t belong there. But now that side of the forest is cleaned! And those are the handles of my cleaning bags btw - I collected 18 whole sacks of garbage from the area nearby.

Tips:

Check if there are any recycling sites or trash cans nearby. If yes, then you can have smaller/fewer bags as you can take a nice walk to reload your energy and empty the bags. If no, choose bigger/more bags that you can dispose of at the end of a day. You can try to call your city administration services for help or advice, or ask a waste disposal plant if they could take it in after explaining what you’re doing.

Be careful. Broken glass can be sharp and some areas have drug needles, but even when the risk is small it gets even smaller by paying attention to what you’re doing, wearing good shoes with thick soles and using garden gloves with plastic protection. 

If someone stops to stare at you say “Hi” and answer if they ask what are you doing in a curious tone. You can also strike up a conversation from there (”what do you think about littering?” or “you wouldn’t believe how many bike saddles and coffee cups I’ve found… who does that?” etc.) 

If you see someone littering, point it out and demand them to pick it up - even when “off-duty”. I sometimes thought I’d only be trouble if I made a stand against something, but ask yourself which is more annoying: still having some people in 2017 that can’t tell the difference between a trash can and a river or being the person who explains it to them.

Going solo is efficient too, but if you’re a social person and you’d like to have somebody do it with there are options:

Organize a bee.

Do it with an environmental organization.

Ask your friends to help you.

Do it with your family.

If somebody who stopped to talk with you seems very positive about what you're doing and is in no hurry - ask them to try it with you.

Take before-and-after pictures of the place to show yourself the progress you’ve made. If you’d like to, you can also post them somewhere along with your thoughts to spread awareness about littering and waste!

Upstream the same creek after I rummaged through it with my bags, determination and Weasley-hair. Young spruces and still some new snow on the ground in April.

I work in the taiga, and from spring to summer there are blackflies and woodticks. Cover your head and neck to stop them from biting you, wear a magnetic field (sold for pets) or repellent and just in case check your head for small bumps.

Wash your hands after you’re done for the day. And if you’ve broken a sweat, take a shower and feel fresh again.

It would suck if the place got littered again. Try writing a note/letter or many of them! Tell what you did and when, why it matters, where the nearest trash can advising people to kindly use it and sign your name/names. Stick the note somewhere with a smooth surface (preferably man-made) with something like contact plastic, that is a few sizes bigger than the paper.

Please respect the environment yourself! Don’t litter, harm trees or take away natural substances - only what doesn’t belong there.

Make cleaning up waste from nature a habit for yourself or your family. Choose how many hours at a time and how often works for your best - is it once a week or on the 15th of every month?

A forest with either ash trees or aspens, grass with spots of snow and sunlight on the ground at the end of April. 

Thank you for reading this! It shows that you care, which is the first step towards changing our own habits and by that - drop by drop - the world to be a better place that will still breathe tomorrow. Take a leap of faith and try it, you never know what will come.

Anything to ask or something to add? Let me know! :D
