#gremlin rules work perfectly for him

[thatmooncake]

I don’t know why but your moon in a cage posts reminded me of this old movie called Gremlins. Used to be a favorite of mine even though the green little goblins gave me nightmares

Moon is kind of like Gizmo with the fact that they both can’t be in the light lol (and I suppose both of them can’t touch water ether? But some people see moon as waterproof so maybe not)

But anyway just wanted to say that you have lovely art and your posts have given me a good laugh! Happy holidays btw

Oh he’s a gremlin alright!

[evilminji]

(O.O ) The PONDERING is back!

You know Walker?

One of the Zone's literal ACAB? We are shown in one episode, that real world items? Against The Rules(tm).

Now, that COULD just be HIM being An Asshole? But let's be real! Unlikely. Rules/Laws get made for a REASON, generally. Usually because someone ruined it for everyone by being an asshole. Taking things too far.

You start OUT with the obvious Rules. Like "Don't Tear the Zone Apart." And "No Genocide of Literally Everything Forever You Fighty Little Assholes" but over time? You have too add stuff. Like "George is Forbidden to use the fax machine and he knows why" and "Ice Lairs and Fire Lairs have to be X distance apart AND YOU KNOW WHY"

And? IS there a central Governing body, regulating the Zone Rules? Nope! Pariah's in nappy time! BUT the manic, Iron fisted, Obsessions of THE LAW across time and space are sure willing to step up and help keep order. It... KINDA works!

And they MOSTLY have the same-ish Rules!

Like NO FUCKIN LIVING WORLD STUFF. Because? To GET such contraband? You'd have to break containment of the Zone, go THROUGH a random ass natural portal, that may or may NOT be safe, may or may NOT ever RECONNECT to the Zone, to literally terrorize the unsuspecting living souls (assuming you can FIND any), on the other side, JUST to drag that shitty candy bar back home.

Leaking ectoplasm the whole time. Poisoning the air, land, and sea. Making NEW ghosts where there might not have been any. Effectively making you their deadbeat parent. Which is premeditated child abandonment. And you DEFINITELY didn't PAY for those objects. Thief.

So, NO. No Living World Shit.

BUT!

Like city states! The Area of influence each Law Man(tm) has? While wide and sprawling? Does NOT perfectly mesh together like puzzle pieces! There ARE dead zones. Lawless, "unclaimed" areas.

Which? Are not so unclaimed.

For just as The Law has it's Obsession? So too, has the Underworld. Shaddy casinos and auctions. Black markets run like street fairs. What some Ghost Weed? They can hook you up, man. Vinnie over there was a Runner during Prohibition. He knows where ALL the classy joints are.

He can hook you up with some REAL nice Living World collectibles.

From All Over.

And? I bet it's that LAST bit? That REALLY sparks Danny's interest. He saved the guy from the GIW, who may or may not have busted him trying to... uuuuh... LIBERATE, some fine scotch for the bar back Zone side. Who's to say, really? Regardless, Vinnie? Pays his debts, you here.

Beside... the feral little gremlin kinda scares him. Good quality to have, no question, but maybe cool it with the biting? You don't know where they BEEN. You'll get a disease.

Now... all you gotta do, see, is... *mutters* *map scribbling* *bad idea enabling*

Which? Constantine! League Members of your choosing! Like a field trip from hell! Some how in the SINGLE shadiest den of Obvious Criminals you ever did see. The sky is green and they aren't in their dimension anymore. Circle up! NOW. Young Justice shoved to the INSIDE of the circle, adult heros on the outside.

Constantine? Knows where they are and wishs he didn't. He... he's not sure he CAN get them back. Going to try obviously. But no one panic. Don't show fear. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. Start walking.

Danny? Loading up the speeder~ Christmas gifts for daaaays~~☆ Everyone is Salty but respectful, cause anti-ghost tech meant they couldn't steal it. They did TRY. But... fair play, kid. Nice ride.

Only? Right before he gets in to leave? Some vibrating blur shoots over? Talking fast and followed by an older blur? Oh hey, humans. Like... ALIVE humans. Sup?

Gremlin Reader Headcanons - Straw Hats, Whitebeard Pirates, Heart Pirates, Kid Pirates

CW: shenanigans, tomfoolery, and hullabaloo

Straw Hats

You and Luffy are BEST BUDS. You butted heads when you first met just from being a bit too similar, but now you understand each other like no one else.

“Quit eating stuff off the floor!” Nami snaps as you and Luffy reach for a cube of steak that fell from your plate. “Five second rule,” Luffy says. You both smack at each other’s hands, but he ends up maneuvering and grabbing the meat first thanks to his stretchiness. You respond by shoving his entire hand, still holding the steak bit, into your mouth. Luffy shouts, then laughs. Nami yells, “Y/N, ew! That’s even worse!” “You don’t know where that’s been,” Zoro adds. Luffy screams for real when you bite his hand, but he also lets go of the steak, so it’s a win. (It was yours in the first place.)

While your bathing habits are better than Zoros, it’s not by much. If you’re a girl, expect Nami to literally drag you to bathe with her and Robin. She’ll wash your hair for you if you promise to stop using soap bubbles to give yourself a beard and call yourself the “Saponicus the Bath Wizard.” At least Robin finds it funny.

Also, if you’re a girl…you put Sanji through it. Rather than getting a broom to shoo you from your perch on top of the fridge, he tries to coax you down with sweet words and sweeter foods. Instead of yelling at you for eating off the floor, he’ll wash off whatever fell for you. If you try to eat a piece of what he’s cooking, he’ll simply make you a small side plate to tide you over. To Sanji, your weird habits are endearing. But if you’re a guy? He’ll just kick your ass. 

If you occupy that odd space in between genders (or lack thereof,) however, the poor cook does not know how to deal with you. After much stumbling over the subject and at first treating you how you most closely present, he ends up finding a neutral middle ground that makes you both happy.

You play with Franky a lot. You like to climb him like a jungle gym–he’s just shaped so perfectly for it. Sometimes you’ll sneak up behind Franky, jump and reach around to boop his nose to surprise him and change his hair. Every now and then he anticipates your strikes and catches you by the arm, holding you off the ground as penance for your crimes. You swing and wrap your legs around his rectangular arm to retaliate, and he’ll wave his arm to try to jostle you. It’s all fun and games until you get flung off the ship.

Once you discovered how light Brook was, you realized you could pick him up. This led to you plucking him off the ground at random and using him as a jousting lance with which to harass Zoro. Brook started to wisen up to that gleam in your eye, using his cane to keep you at a distance or jab you lightly.

Whitebeard Pirates

There are a lot of crewmates, and you manage, somehow, to be the most feral of them all. Marco calls you “the ship’s pet, Y/N” as a joke.

Unless it’s snowing, you go barefoot everywhere. The soles of your feet have thickened considerably, and you occasionally entertain your brothers by showing off how you can stick safety pins through the very bottom layers of skin. This leads to Marco yelling at you to stop playing with sharps, and that you’re going to accidentally hurt yourself.

Poor Marco has to look out for you often, especially because you do things like get into wrestling matches with the biggest crewmates. You don’t have the size to do much, but if you get pinned, you cheat by biting your opponent. This usually worked for you until you cracked a tooth on Jozu, earning a stern “I told you so” from the first division commander.

Ace is a reformed gremlin and so takes you under his wing. You remind him of Luffy, so he’s quite fond of you compared to the rest. The two of you bring out the worst in each other’s bad habits, indulging the other. If you two are ever spotted together and giggling, the others know to be concerned, as you’re certainly up to something, usually pranks.

The only person who can get you to behave is Whitebeard, and he doesn’t bother most of the time, feeling it better for his children to “sort themselves out”. But he’s not wrong–the crew takes care of you no matter what mischief you get up to.

“I bet you can’t steal Vista’s hat,” Thatch challenges you and Ace one day. You’re always well-mannered toward Thatch, because he’s in charge of the food, but that doesn’t mean you guys won’t challenge each other to dares. “I bet I can steal it before Ace does,” you immediately respond. Ace protests fiercely, and the game is on. Ace takes a straight-forward approach, sprinting down the deck like he’s going to run past Vista, leaping into the air, and going to swipe it off. Vista blocks his hand with a raised arm. “What are you doing?” Vista questions. “Nothing,” Ace says, jumping again and promptly getting grabbed by the arm and tossed aside. This repeats, with Ace making big, energetic attempts to steal that hat and getting thrown around instead, over and over with no success. You wait until Ace has calmed down, then approach Vista. “Can I tell you something?” you ask, motioning him to lean in closer. Vista’s smart enough to know why you want him to bend down, but his reflexes are quick, so he leans over anyway. “Yes?” You stick your fingers up his nose. Vista makes a muffled, indignant shriek, flinching. Completely caught off guard, he’s too slow to stop you from snatching the hat off his head. “Run!” Ace screams, and you book it with Ace joining at your side. You wave the hat and yell, “Burn it, Ace!” mostly joking. “I’ll gut you both!” Vista shouts, hot on your heels, drawing his swords as he chases you two down, the sounds of your crazed laughter echoing through the deck. Marco sighs and gets ready to heal you again.

Heart Pirates

You would tire out Law, but you’ve been a part of the crew for so long that he’s used to your antics. Really, you tire out Bepo, who’s in charge of keeping you in line.

The Polar Tang has a ventilation system to keep airflow and environmental controls during dives. You like to crawl into the vent shafts for fun and because they’re a cozy, private space away from everyone else. Whenever no one can find you, Law locates you on the ship and uses his power to teleport you out. You’ll be napping peacefully, shirking your duties, and suddenly you’re falling through the air and onto the floor in front of your captain–whoops, busted.

Once you tried to steal Law’s hat as a joke. He removed your hands for the rest of the day, stating you’d lost hand privileges.

“Aw, but Captain, your hair looks so nice,” you whined, and Law’s cheeks turned pink. “You’ll get your hands back tomorrow,” he ignored your statement and tossed your hands into a sack, tying it shut.

After that you had to mop the Polar Tang by biting the mop handle, which your crewmates said you took to way too easily.

You’ll sometimes leap onto Bepo’s back, gently tugging on his ears–they’re so round and cute. Resigned, he just supports your legs and lets you. When you can’t resist and end up biting his ear, he yelps, then states that you remind him of the folks from his home island of Zou, and finds it almost soothing.

You, Penguin and Shachi have an ongoing prank war. It’s one you all keep contained so that it doesn’t reach Law, but is otherwise ruthless. Shachi’s been pantsed by you so many times you’re pretty sure you’ve seen every pattern of underwear he owns, but it’s his fault for letting his guard down so frequently. None of you are safe falling asleep first around the others lest you get your face scribbled on, hence your habit of napping in the air vents.

The Polar Tang doesn’t get visitors, but very rarely will gain a new crewmate. As one of the first handful of people recruited, you liked to make noises in the air vents and had certain newbies convinced the ship was haunted. It didn’t help that you told creepy stories of ghosts of people who died deep underwater, where the ship was currently sailing through… Ikkaku always chided you to stop freaking people out.

Though most would expect Law to get annoyed by you, he actually takes comfort in your antics. You’re consistent, at least, in a chaotic world. He can always count on you to keep spirits up and to keep the rest of the crew on their toes.

You’re settled in an air vent with a flashlight and a book one day. You hear a muffled “Room,” from somewhere, then Law appears next to you, having to hunch over so he can fit. “Oh, hey, Captain,” you say. “You know,” Law says, “I think you’ve actually got the right idea. Some days the Polar Tang, despite everything, feels too big... Some days even my quarters feel too big.” “Is today one of those days?” you ask as Law inspects the vent walls. They’re clean–likely your doing–which surprises him. He nods. “You should try taking a nap. It’s very cave-like and cozy here.” “Do you just lay out on the metal?” he questions. “Yep. But if that’s uncomfortable for you, well…” you pat your lap, completely nonchalant. Law studies your face. You give him a cheery smile. He sighs, and stretches out. It’s more comfortable this way. He rests his head on your lap. You continue reading quietly, angling your book and the light away from Law’s face. He adjusts slightly and deflates, relaxing. Right before falling asleep, he takes off his hat.

Kid Pirates

You fit right in with the Kid pirates. No one gives you so much as a second glance for most of the things that you do. For the most part, your level of gremlin behavior is not that much more intense than some of the other crewmates. 

Though Kid/Killer/Wire will pick you up by your jacket hood when you act up too much. You retaliate by pinching the offender’s nostrils shut. This leads to you getting scolded, but you start laughing because they talk with a “congested” voice. Eventually you get threatened with being thrown overboard, which finally makes you fall in line.

You’re good with electrical work. Aside from using a stun gun in battle, you like to take the little metal creatures that Kid makes and soup them up with lights and sounds. Usually you just add glowing eyes and fins as an accent, but sometimes you use your powers for evil: once you added a timed speaker to a doll that went off in the middle of the night, scaring the bejesus out of the sleeping crew.

Killer is strict about not eating food before it’s ready, but it doesn’t stop you from trying to snack on ingredients. You’ll sneak into the kitchen (poorly–you are not quiet) and try to swipe food when you think he’s not looking. Killer will see your hand reach up in his peripheral vision and feel around the countertop. He plunges a knife into the countertop inches from your fingers, making you freeze before slowly withdrawing. However, you know he would never actually stab you, so you never really give up.

You’re really good at making Kid laugh with your antics. He doesn’t even realize it until much later on in the time he’s known you. You and Kid are watching Killer cook one day, steaks sizzling beautifully on the pan, and more raw meat is piled on a plate on the table before you, waiting for its turn. “Why does raw meat look so appealing?” you say. “I kind of don’t want to wait for it to cook.” “I’m not feeding you raw meat,” Killer says. You open your mouth to make the obvious lewd joke, but Kid shoots you a look that says don’t. You close your mouth. “I know what you mean,” Kid says. You both look at the raw steak. The filets are ruby-red, glistening, with cream streaks of fat that promise to melt once on the pan. “I just want to bite into the whole thing and shake my head like a dog,” you voice your thoughts. “Then do it,” Kid says offhandedly. You pluck a raw steak from the pile, sink your teeth in, and do exactly that, growling as the steak whips from side to side. Kid bursts out laughing, caught by surprise, while Killer snaps out your name, far less amused. As Killer scolds you, Kid thinks about how impulsive you are and how often you make him laugh like that and how much he likes you. And then it hits him–wait, oh god, oh no. You’ve taken the steak out of your mouth and are laughing at yourself, and you look so nice when you’re smiling oh NO. Kid’s gone red in the face while you try to appease Killer. “My mouth germs will burn off when you cook it,” you argue. “That doesn’t matter. You’re going to get sick,” Killer grumbles. “Don’t do it again.” “Okay, fine…Hm? Kid?” you tilt your head at him. “You okay? You look a bit flushed.” “Shut up! I’m fine.” Kid says defensively. “Okaaay, moody. Sheesh, sorry for caring.” And that just makes it worse, because Kid’s now also realizing you do actually care, don’t you? Bringing him things when he’s holed up late at night in his workshop, bothering him when his mood’s down and he needs to be distracted, helping him oil the parts of his metal arm and laughing it off when you get covered in grease. “Don’t get all sweet on me, you little punk.” Kid mutters. “You’re right. I ought to stick to salty things. Like Killer’s mea–” “STOP.”

~~Delightfully inspired by being at home~~

Bakugou Katsuki is an only child. No siblings - because one gremlin spawn is enough to take care of. All of Katsuki’s cousins are older than him. Katsuki IS the baby of the family. . . Which is why when he meet you, and then proceeded to meet your family, he was in a total culture shock. You’re one of the oldest kids in your family. When the two of you arrived to your families summertime reunion he was absolutely flabbergasted. Once you stepped into the house you were gone in a flash!

I mean he expected as much since you lived so far away now and had such a good working relationship with your family. But he didn’t expect for you to DISAPPEAR ON HIM.

To be swallowed by a hoarde of similiar-faced relatives all shouting about how you’ve been!! the L/N genes were strong apparently . . . you really all do look alike, huh.

Bakugou had barely stepped into the house, your luggage’s still in hand, before becoming an obstacle for children. One of your little cousins actually barrelling into his muscular thigh with a little “oof” and “sorry mister! hey! wait for me!”

Before bounding out the wide open front door to chase their playmates back around to the backyard, and then through the entire house again . . . as children are often prone to do. Now, Bakugou tried to find you amoungst the little gaggle of children and sometimes teenagers that blew around his ankles, as they giggled and shouted and whooped as they weaved their way around him. at least let him find you, or one of your parents or siblings, so they can tell him which room you’d be staying in. he’d meet them on several occasions before and secretly reveled in watching watching you and your siblings engage throughout the few visits and events he’s been invited on. All these other people and rambunctious kids he wasn’t all too sure about . . . ——————

now Y/N was having the time of her life relaxing and catching up with her family

Her boyfriend, Katsuki, was not finding this relaxing. Bakugou Katsuki felt totally out of his element: a fish out of water. Or rather, an explosive man in water. ———— his ruby eyes would snap open most mornings, at some inhumane hour from some early bird kids stomping around and giggling in hushed tones (not so hushed in his opinion) as they moved down the hallway and past your door. And Bakugou would squint his eyes into the blackness; the void. And stare at where the door was supposed to be until they passed and burrowed his face back against your perfectly sloped shoulder and slept until some kid was send by the older folks to slam open the door and wake you up. Bakugou absolutely couldn’t fathom this part of the routine. He absolutely hated it.

You however only ever seemed a touch miffled. And always informed the tiny correspondent with a playful pat on the head that you and him were now awake and would join the rest of them downstairs. . . . but eventually the little cousins would soon come running around the side of the bed to make sure he was awake too. . . and Bakugou couldn’t help but turn, pick the kid up, and playfully wrestle the flailing and giggling kid on the bed into submission, and they revealed the menu for breakfast. And they would giggle and dart out of the room so fast saying, “Y/N’s awake! And her boyfriends Bakugou’s awake! He wants extra eggs!” And it definitely wasn’t his idea of relaxing playing UNO with about 10 players every other evening. And constantly hearing you and the older kids and adults all explaining what color card the youngest one needs to put down. Or GO-FISH for that matter!

Since apparently that silly game of chance seems to be the only one every age group can play without explaining the rules. What’s the point of a game of guessing who’s got what card? Especially when he never even gets close to winning. (Yes, he was terrible at it.)

Your family even plays for second to last place, and lo and behold he’s somehow duking it out with a 9 yr old now. And Katsuki Bakugou definitely doesn’t enjoy participating in the family water balloon fights, or watching and dodging the stray streams from squirt guns fights as he stands at the grill with all the other men, or chasing down the muddy dog in the house, or the epic made-believe quests. And you definitely believe him when you pass him walking through the house on morning after finishing the dishes in company with a fairy princess, pirate, and a mermaid “but-she’s-got-legs-right-now-cause-she’s-on-land.” as he walks about wearing an eye-patch on his face and a tutu around his arm

And he’s no longer “not in his element” by the end of the trip when he takes his turn to make breakfast for the whole family. Going upstairs himself to wake up the little ones and the grumbling teens. Making sure to let you sleep in and it’s a pleasant surprise when you make your way downstairs a little later to see him manning the kitchen. everybody sat down or standing around as they chow down. And you get greeted with a swift kiss to your temple and grumbled “g’morning.” your mom chirping up, “Katsuki’s made your favorite sweetpea!” ——— And you’re pleasantly surprised once again as Bakugou joins you in on the last day of your visit. Finally stepping foot into the mattress/sleeping bag kingdom that’s set up in your house. He comes in to find you sitting at the front of the room waving your hands across the air as you engage in the last saga of this thrilling interactive bedtime story you’ve been narrating the whole trip. And Bakugou walks in and tosses all the fallen blankets back over peoples beds. Shuffling himself underneath a blanket he’s just rescued and making himself comfortable as he squeezes in next to the teens. And it’s at some part in your story that he furrows his brow and opens his mouth muttering something to the two adolescents squished beside him. His arms crossed across his chest as a dinosaur stuffed animal rests, precariously balanced, on his broad shoulders because, “you need a stuffie for Y/Ns storytime” and the three of them wave their hands and signal for you to pause and Bakugou grumbles out “- hold on babe, who is this dragon prince character anyway?” And all the kids erupt in laughter shouting, “YOU, YOU SILLY BOYFRIEND.” and his mouth is agape. And you simply shrug, “well duh ‘tsuki. who else? Now where we’re we? Right so then the Dragon Prince, the Swordsman, and the Dashing Runaway Prince of the Kingdom decided that they . . .”

Hello love! I saw your post asking for Sanji requests and as a die hard lover of both the anime and live action Sanji, I'll happily provide.

The crew ends up docking at a random island to rest and stay a bit on solid ground. When looking for a place to stay/eat they come across the readers restraunt. Just as they're about to walk in a customer gets thrown out the front door with the reader angrily yelling about manners and how to treat people respectfully.

The readers a cook, a little short tempered, loud, and unapologetically themselves and Sanji instantly falls in love.

Alright alright I'm done now ~ 🍄🐛💫

A/n: Hey there anon!! I'm super late, but I hope you're still around to see this <3 tbh, this isn't my best work and I feel like it got a little ooc and derailed a bit towards the end but I hope you enjoy it! for all my short temper, I have no idea how to write an angry little gremlin lol.

To everyone else, thank you for the 100 followers and all the likes and comments!! This is insane tbh, I wasn't expecting anything on any of my works 😭 Y'all are too kind ❤️

also available on ao3!

The island they had docked on wasn't all that big, but the people there were lively. There weren't many hotels they could find since the town wasn't all that big, and any that they found were already filled to the brim. Finally after walking around for a while, they found a small tavern quite a ways from the shore. It seemed to be a little lively because there were sounds coming from the inside but it seemed to not be so full that they couldn't grab a table.

As they neared the door of the establishment, it suddenly banged open and two men fell through, looking a little roughed up and angry. The crew lingered at a distance, wondering what was going on when you came out, your chef's hat perfectly atop your head, with your hands on your hips.

"I better not see you around here ever again!" You snapped at the two, who flinched ever so slightly. "If you lack manners, that's YOUR problem. You can't take it out on my girls and expect me to treat you like the valued customers you are not."

The two sat up and glared at you, ready to retort but you raised the pan in your hand, waving it in front of their faces.

"Scram, unless you want me to burn your face," you finished calmly. That was enough. The two immediately scrambled up and ran into the distance. You huffed and blew away the lock of hair that had slipped out of your hat. You were about to turn around and go back in when you noticed the group standing there. "What?"

"Oh, um, we were looking for a place to eat?" Chopper felt the need to answer because you were staring at him. (You were a little curious and didn't mean to stare but that was hard when the group was full of… unique characters.)

"Well, a table just got empty so help yourself in," you grumbled, jerking your thumb to beckon them inside. The crew silently followed you in, to find that your tavern was mostly full too but the people were more calm and the ruckus of the other hotels was missing. "Oh yeah. Before you settle in, you should know the one rule of my establishment."

You narrowed your eyes at them. "You treat any of my girls with anything less than respect and you'll be thrown out like those two. Capisce?"

The crew just nodded, too hungry to actually bother with anything else but Sanji couldn't help but find you absolutely charming. It was common to find people who bent and let their customers do whatever for the sake of business, but you were protective of your employees and you didn't care about being a fake sort of nice. He watched you stalk back to where the food was being cooked, responding nicely to the customers asking if all was good. You were nice where it mattered, and unapologetically yourself if your values were threatened. It was all too easy to find you like a breath of fresh air.

That wasn't even what did it, though. For Sanji, what did it was the moment one of your waitresses had come back with the food they had ordered and he had tasted the dish he had watched you prepare with the ease and expertise of someone who clearly loved and lived for their profession. One bite and he nearly moaned there, masking it under a hum of appreciation.

Even Luffy was looking at the food star eyed and his speed in sucking up the food somehow increased. Sanji tried to not do the same, wanting to savour the taste as long as he could but it was clear that if he took too long, Luffy would have finished it all by then.

The hotel was nearly empty by the time they were done and they were one of the only customers still remaining. Sanji was sure it was dark enough outside that they would need light to make their way back to the ship. You were finishing off, calling out orders for the girls who were starting to clear up. You caught his eye and Sanji couldn't look away, mesmerised by the sight of you removing your hat and shaking your hair free. You were gorgeous, a good cook, and had the personality of a firework. He had to do something–

"Let's take her with us!" Luffy announced suddenly, banging his hand on the table. Everyone startled and Sanji stared at him as if he has grown two heads.

"Uh Luffy, that's kidnapping–" Nami's words died out the moment she noticed you walking up to their table.

"Hey there," you gave them all a small smile. "Will you guys be needing anything else or should I draw up the bill? I'm afraid it's getting close to closing time."

"Come with us!!" Luffy grinned. You paused and looked at him weirdly.

"Sorry?" You said.

"What he means, mademoiselle," Sanji intervened, giving you the most charming smile he had, "is that your food was absolutely delicious. Our captain would like to have you onboard as a chef."

You were silent, staring at them all with a blank look, until you finally looked at Sanji. Your gaze made him putty but he tried to remain firm.

"You don't have a cook or something?" You smiled, a little amused.

"Sanji is the cook!" Luffy answered, pointing a finger at the blonde man, who was too busy giving you googly eyes to answer. You cocked an eyebrow at that, looking at the said man.

"And you don't mind another chef invading your territory?" You asked, curious. The crew didn't seem to be more than the people in your hotel. There really didn't seem to be any need for an extra chef to you; and anyway, you were happy with your little hole in the wall place. You were just asking because you were curious, not because you actually planned to join them.

"If it's you, you can invade any space of mine, my lady," Sanji's eyes had turned into hearts as he uttered the words. Nami whacked him on the head, worried he would freak you out but that earned him a loud laugh from you.

"You're funny," you grinned, looking back at Luffy with an apologetic smile. "Unfortunately, I'm happy where I am. Thanks for the offer but I can't. Now, are you gonna pay up or…?"

Luffy looked like he was going to protest but Usopp held him back. Nami grumbled as she pulled out the pouch of money to pay off their bill and yet all Sanji could think of was begging you to join them. He didn't need another person to cook; he was quite enough. But you, with all your loud beauty, were like a sparkling gem he would never find again. He wanted to have you, to know you, to know all your little quirks and interests. He wanted to cook beside you and fall in love– with cooking and with you, all over again.

The crew started to make their way out but Sanji lingered back, making his way towards you. You noticed and gave him a smile, noting that he really was handsome when he wasn't all heart eyed and half a puddle.

"Is there any way I can change your mind?" He blurted out, feeling his insides shake in anticipation.

"I don't know," you teased, suddenly starting to contemplate if it wouldn't be such a bad idea. You had always wanted to travel, to cook for all kinds of people with all kinds of ingredients; you just never could and had to make do with a small hotel on a small island. Wasn't this a chance to make your dreams come true? "What can you do to convince me?"

"Anything you want from me, mademoiselle," he said breathlessly, gently picking up your hand to press a soft kiss on the back of it. Your heart fluttered at the action, and you flushed. No one had ever treated you like this, like you were something delicate and priceless and every moment you looked in Sanji's eyes made you feel like you were about to be set on fire.

"W- Well," you stuttered, feeling like you had lost control, "how about you help with the dishes then?"

Surely he would not agree to that. This was just a game, and it was time he would back out. You would go back to your little place, and he would go back to his ship. There was no way he would be okay with–

"Is that all it takes, my lady?" The light purr in his voice made your cheeks feel warm.

"N- no, it's just the start," you turned away from him, trying to hide the blush rising up your cheeks. He was far too good looking to be paying you so intense attention and there was something about him that was capturing your heart, tempting it to agree to his words. If you left your girls behind, who would take care of them? All those men who treated them like they were dolls on display would not just disappear the moment you left the island. You couldn't leave them…

"Then, show me the way," he smiled at you, all perfect white teeth shining under the golden lights of your hotel. You just pointed him to the tower of dishes that his own crew had left behind and watched a little astonished as he really started to wash them.

"He's certainly one of a kind," your fellow cook and friend nudged you as she spoke. You couldn't look away from him as you answered her.

"I don't know what it is about him, but whenever he looks at me, I feel…" You abruptly cut off, feeling embarrassed. "Nothing!"

"You feel nothing?" You friend teased, "That blush on your cheeks doesn't look like nothing to me~"

"Shut up," you growled, hackles raised at the teasing. You never fared well with being teased or flirted with, and unfortunately, it seemed the blonde man– Sanji, his captain had called him, you remembered –was exactly of the latter type. He was no good for you, right?

"I don't know," your friend sighed, drawing up a sad smile as she looked at you. "I know your dream. Even if you don't feel anything for him, I know their offer is a chance for you. Why don't you just take it?"

"I can't leave you all behind," you murmured, heart paining at the thought of ditching them just for your dreams. "If I'm not here, what if–"

"Nothing's gonna happen," your friend interrupted you. "Come on, we aren't no weaklings. And I'm here, aren't I? I'll make sure everyone is safe and taken care of. So don't worry about us and go get your man– I mean, go fulfil your dreams."

You whacked her arm at the teasing, smiling genuinely as you watched Sanji finish off the dishes already. He was so fast, and you couldn't help but feel silly for finding that sexy. Competence and confidence was always sexy.

"Alright," you mumbled to yourself. "I'll do it. But, I think I'll take my time. I did say this is just the start."

Your friend raised an eyebrow at your amused smile. Sanji waved at you to indicate that he was done and you waved back, starting to make your way to him.

"It's more fun this way, isn't it?"

FLUFFBRUARY 14: phone | bubble bath | doll (Frankie Morales)

ADIRA'S SELF-IMPOSED FLUFFBRUARY RULES:

Six sentences.

Must be fluffy.

All 29 ficlets must feature a different Pedro.

All three words must be used (Fluffbruary prompt list here).

Use the words in order.

I reserve the right to break rules and/or cheat.

His phone buzzes in his pocket and he fumbles for it in anticipation of your text, only for it to slide out of his hands, wet and slippery from baby shampoo.

There’s a bloop and an “Oh shit!” from Frankie as it drops into the bubble bath, followed by some splashing and toddler giggles, some desperate towel work, and an anxious pressing of buttons before a sigh of relief signals that the phone’s waterproof features hold up.

“Door is opeb come in,” he types in response, “giving the gremlin a batj.”

His heartbeat ramps up as he hears you in the hallway, hoping you’ll forgive him for having to start your very first date night a little late on account of having to chase Abril into the bath, but knows it’s a moot point when you come around the corner wearing a big smile and holding something behind your back.

“I thought you might still be up,” you practically sing, coming down to your knees by the tub and revealing a stuffie doll with big brown eyes and curly hair, “and I’m glad because I saw this today and it reminded me of you.”

Abril squeals, forgetting where she is and glomping on to the doll with all her tiny might, and even though you laugh when her new toy ends up half submerged in the soapy water, the girl’s eyes go big and round when she sees what she’s done and opens her little mouth to perfectly exclaim, “Oh shit!”

Could you request an au royal with prince!wanderer x servant!reader where wanderer during the night asks reader to stay until he falls asleep and she ends up falling asleep kneeling next to his bed? (Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, English is not my native language)

HOW DID I JUST SEE THIS IT’S BEEN MONTHS I’M SO SORRYYYY

no worries anon, english isn’t my first language either so we’re twinning bbg (it’s four am help)

APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE SINCE THIS SUCKS😭

idk what got into me while I was writing

anyway, here my silly little requested fanfic is 🫢

bg:

before your family had gone broke, you never thoguht you’d find yourself in this situation. at the palace, you really were just a simple servant like everyone said.

…

before your father lost everything there was a rumor which was slowly passing from everyone’s mouth - whoever started working for the royal family wouldn’t make it out of a miserable life, they’d have you wrapped around their fingers.

there was a reason to think that though - the payment wasn’t enough to change job. yes, it was simpls like that. they do offer you a place to stay and food to survive, but overall it was just enough to afford taking a week off when you’re sick, apart from national holidays and all that.

your life isn’t a normal one, nor one somebody would aim at. you are nothing but one of the servants at the royal palace. no-one knows you for who you are, but it’s not all that bad. you have the whole palace for you and your friends, your families and many people you care about, who actually do know the real-you’s worth.

the royals aren’t so bad either! the queen is the one who rules the kingdom as there’s no king, she’s independent, enterprising and has an intimidating story behind her. her name is Raiden Shogun. meanwhile, her son, ‘the wanderer’, is a spoiled brat with an ass attitude who’s against the whole world.

this gremlin spends most of his time around the castle, glaring at every servant while they’re doing their job and stand there watching, only to walk away like nothing happened. there was this one time, when you were mopping the floor… he didn’t take his eyes off of you for a split second! …at least it felt like so.

after a couple more of such events happening to you for no reason, because you work properly (if not splendidly), he suddenly calls out your name while you’re doing your thing. “Y/n.” you turn around all freaked out since it couldn’t possibly mean good things when someone had to deal with this guy, he looked so stern and cold and and-

“meet me in my room after dinner.” he said and just left like that. eh?

His room? did he want you to clean it? Dust it? Make his bed? That wasn’t in the contract… he didn’t mention the reason, so you decide to just go with it.

after dinner, in his room

you greet, slightly bow and stand right before the doorframe, dressed up for the occasion, as you see him in his pajamas. he didn’t even bother to greet you - instead, he straight up ordered you: “stay with me for the night” what. you? what. what again? “me?” he nods and gets in bed looking skeptical as usual “who else?” you just watch from afar, scared you might do something to give him the ick. so this isn’t about cleaning, huh?

“well? aren’t you going to sit down somewhere?” he asks and you just kneel down next to his bed at his height, perfectly intersecating his gaze. “don’t you dare wake me up before 7 am.” ‘bitch?’ you want to reply as he just stares at you. ‘aNyThInG hIs mAjEsTy wAnTs’ like hell you were gonna stay like this for a whole night for no reason.

“Uh, no? This isn’t in the contract.” you contradict him and were prolly one of the few people who did that to him in his whole life,

“alright.” he says as he rolls in bed, turning around and closing his eyes to drift off to sleep.

…does he actually expect you to fall asleep in this position?

some time later

‘can’t deny he looks pretty though.’ you think as you finally come to terms with the fact that he wants you there. your mind can wander all it wants thinking of all the possibile reasons behind this blessing in disguise, but no true reason can be found.

well, it’s only for today. after all, how do you know who you might see as you get out of his room? and what will they think? ugh

aside from that, you could get in his majesty’s graces, soo

this is no occasion to waste.

[atla-confessions]

I can't stand Zutara but something about Zutaraang makes me so happy.

I'm convinced every zutara problem could be fixed via zutaraang. (Before I move forward, while I understand if this is tagged anti zutara, I am not anti zutara, I quite like zutara, when I speak of 'problems' it is because there are problems and conflicts in every relationship. There are also plenty with kataang and zukaang but this ask wasn't abt those two.)

So one of the biggest things I think they'd struggle with is they're both so strongwilled, you just KNOW they're gonna bump heads sometimes. Both of them have a tendancy of lashing out with harsh words when they get angry or frusterated. That combined is a recipe for disaster.

Enter Aang, who is repeatedly shown to be a peacemaker. Enter Aang who is repeatedly shown to be able to take bad bahavior and just shrug it off. Enter Aang who'd be the number 1 zutara shipper whether or not he was in that relationship lmao and would be estatic to scheme to set them up toward getting along. (A lot of locking them in a closet tbh)

I also think zutara just tend to make bad decisions together, namely going to kick people's asses (which is also something I love about them lmao, you cannot leave them alone for five minutes before they're plotting some raid on an asshole)

Enter Aang who's literally that meme of the person holding the leash with the gremlin only there's two kwbdjsdbb one of my favorite zutaraang ideas is Aang having a set of rules like, sure, go off and kick ass, but don't get caught and no more than three broken bones please. I think it's a good compromise.

Zutara are neither very subtle. They'd be causing drama and political problems All The Time lmao, collectively the thorn in everyone's side.

Enter Aang who can lie like a snake and be like "that doesn't sound like my Katara and Zuko :0 besides, they were with me that night :) you trust the avatar don't you? :)" And like, who's gonna disagree? That's the avatar. This works almost every time but they're all aware that EVENTUALLY he's not going to be able to pull that off, which is why "don't get caught" is one of the rules ksnfnsndnd

Also, Zuko and Katara have shown to have a tendancy of giving a certain kind of attention that the other would struggle with. Zuko has his severe possesive issues, and Katara gets a little Too determined to help everyone even when they make it clear they want to be left alone. Katara would not react positively to someone trying to control what she can do or who she can talk to, and Zuko tries to fight anyone who dares make him feel even slightly vulnerable when he's not in the right mindset for it jsbdnsndnd

Enter Aang, who would be a fatastic distraction. Zuko's trying to be possessive? Well he can't be posessive over Katara AND Aang at the same time now can he, Aang's probably perfectly happy to let Zuko scare people off sometimes (being the avatar has got to be socially draining.) Katara's prodding at Zuko a little too much? Aang's perfectly happy to have deep conversations about emotions to quell her need for that until Zuko's ready.

I'm just saying, Aang is the perfect bridge between them. I love zutaraang so much. I love these trigger happy idiots and their long suffering pacifist nsbfnsndns

[themaskstayson]

Thinking about all my Dark Urges in a party together cause it can be a somewhat balanced party, in the sense of survivability but also so funny to write about.

Rynnil, the lolth-sworn drow oathbreaker.

Cyrus, the tiefling bard college of spirits.

Moondrop, the deep gnome shadow monk.

Varra, white dragonborn wild magic Sorcerer.

Varra is default durge but with body 1 cause I wanted him to be smaller lol He's the master mind of the group and Bhaal's special chosen baby. He's more incline to go with the flow and if that means follow the urges pretty hard-core with no regards of them being attacked... Oh well. He wouldn't help the goblins, though. Mostly because it would be a waste of a perfectly good blacksmith. He wants to fight Orin and take his power back but throughout the journey becomes conflicted with duty to Bhaal, his "family", and now his new found "family". He is the leader of Dark Urge group and co-leader when the combine groups with Wyll as the leader for origin characters.

(I played for about 20iah hours and I stopped because idk kissing as a dragonborn was kind of meh... I do love the white and red dragonborn design so much and I would bring Varra back for a multi-player game instead. He never left act one but he did get it in with Astarion.)

Rynnil is very resist the urge. He remembers a life before the cult and wants to break free and go back to it, or at least break free to have his freedom, now that he got a taste. He's very hands off with the group, letting them be gremlins until they cross a line like unaliving people in broad daylight for no good reason. They can't just do things like get the Grove closed off, how else would they sell the loot they're hoarding? He's still duty bound but by his own rules of wanting to keep his "family" safe. Socially he is not the greatest and relies on others for anything talking related. Also, while Rynnil is very resist the urge, by the time he gets to Baldur's Gate and realizes a few things he does go a bit back to the dark side and does things without care for his own well being.

(Rynnil was in a coop game and an honour mode one. In coop he romance Wyll and it was so cute. He was very duty bound and I broke his oath by accident in act 3 lol He was very much the silent type but easily won over by Wyll's romantic ways. Him and Astarion were besties.

In the honour mode, Rynnil was romancing Astarion but, by accident, they broke up and Rynnil got upset and started doing unhinged things like get the hammer and lie a lot about what he was doing. I got stressed and stopped the run, but I should continue for the dice at least..... He's also romancing Halsin, which is meh. Rynnil works best with Wyll imo just for the support and not having the need to "fix" someone else and get support to be a better person.)

Cyrus is the same as Varra and goes with the flow but WAAAAY more interested in the need to please daddy Bhaal and blood baths because it keeps the skin moisturized. He also would clock Astarion's flirting unlike Varra and Rynnil and he would find it cringe. He'll still sleep with him, though. Not cause he likes Astarion but he wants to see how cringe-y he gets with his lines. Cyrus would actually sleep with everyone, like a true bard. He's also the group's voice but Rynnil does keep him in line from doing anything too bad. Until later on where Rynnil doesn't seem the care about anything and Cyrus can make his own decisions without care.

(Plan for Cyrus was to use the polymod and romance everyone. I just... Never got around to it lol Cyrus wouldn't be so interested in Astarion but more so Lae'zel cause she's strong or Gale cause he's a wizard and powerful. Gale being depressed would be a turn off. Cyrus wants to cause chaos, or at least be unhinged enough.)

Moondrop is also resist the urges and trying to find inner peace. He's also one of the sassier members of the group and always judging everyone. The amount of time people go to him for advice is concerning to him. He also demands they have tea with their lunch and relax. He's very meh with the group. He doesn't see the others as his siblings at all, especially Varra and Cyrus for embracing the urges at times. Rynnil he is okay with but mostly cause the drow doesn't do much of anything and is a reliable fighter. Moondrop finds the origin characters to be very concerning about but would prefer if Wyll just lead the group alone since Varra cannot be trusted really.

(Moondrop I am trying to keep no mods with Script Extender to see if I can get Wyll to not be buggy and get one of the romance greetings and I really wanna see his kisses. I also wanna romance Adtarion cause the boy is racist against Gnomes and it would be funny. I can't play vanilla cause how the hell am I supposed to be a femboy with no cute faces?)

Regardless of barely playing with mods, the game somehow got corrupt.

In theory I can run a game with all 4 of them and have them romance someone but running the game twice was concerning... I don't know if I can run it 4 times to get them all lol

Once Upon a Studio: Wishing Upon a Miracle by Two Cousins (Part One)

(From Enemies to Friends, Slowly but Surely)

Long ago, an 5-year-old Magnifico was gazing at the stars when his father Cosmos asked him to come and see his uncle Marte’s newborn baby that had arrived a week ago.

When the young prince meets his baby cousin, he was worried because he looked so small but his uncle assured him that his baby boy was okay and seemed to be perfectly strong enough to even see the stars. Cosmos also replied that someday, Magnifico and the baby will ruled the kingdom together as brothers to keep the universe safe in harmony from danger who dare to harm the people.

Magnifico stared at the baby who was trying to reach out to him and their hands touched, sparking a great bond in the future…

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

Years later, it was Agustín Madrigal’s birthday that made his three daughters Isabela, Luisa and Mirabel to create something really special for him while their mother Julieta worked on helping the rest of the family with decorating their home Casita.

They’ve been able to invite their friends, including villains, from Walt Disney Animation Studios to congratulate Agustín’s birthday, even though it’s Father’s Day.

Mickey and the Mad Doctor talked about Walt Disney while Anna and Gremlin Prescott discussed about 101st anniversary of Disney in October, and Olaf was super excited about the party that the Genie promised him that tonight will be worth remembering for which Timon doubted about it in case something bad happened and Pumbaa thought it would be impossible to think that.

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

Later that night, the party seemed to be a full swing when Agustín’s parents Marte and Sophia arrived to see him and their three granddaughters until Marte noticed Magnifico by now his eyes were shining bright like a blue sky and he remembered him when he was only five.

When Agustín asked how would he know him, his father replied that he had an older brother who was Magnifico’s father Cosmos which lead them to realise something shocking; Agustín and Magnifico were actually cousins!

Dolores pointed out that if Agustín was Magnifico’s cousin, that means he would have been a prince and the girls would have been princesses as well, much to Isabella’s shock as her hair was burst into pink flowers.

Timon called out that he knew something like this would happen and Mushu was impressed by this family secret that turned out to be royal.

Alma Madrigal thought it was a wonderful news that Agustín had a royal family which made her thinking that Encanto and Rosas would have the best community in their two lands, but that quickly turned into a argument between Agustín and Magnifico as they both agreed that two lands will not be shared since Agustín wasn’t crowned prince and Magnifico wasn’t a Madrigal.

Then, the fight broke out between two cousins when Magnifico commented something about Mirabel that got Hercules and Aladdin to separate Agustín away from the king and Alma immediately calmed the situation down and confirmed everyone that she and the family will discuss the plans between two lands eventually, much to Queen Amaya and Julieta Madrigal’s unsure and disagreement since their husbands just fought.

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

At the kitchen, Agustín and Julieta talked about the event which Agustín couldn’t believe this was happening to him and he had no idea about unless his father didn’t tell him sooner, but Julieta mentioned that he might have a reason why he couldn’t tell him because Agustín might do something risky to discover the family member or that he won’t believe his own father. Agustín doesn’t like the idea of what Alma mentioned about Encanto and Rosas being in one community together and won’t stand a chance to even getting along since Magnifico did horrible in the past. Julieta understood and believed it was best to take time for him and Magnifico to try and get along if the two lands would work together in the future.

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

Back in Rosas, Magnifico couldn’t sleep as he kept tossing and turning while trying to not wake his wife up. He decided to get fresh air when he noticed that Asha was up to and she was talking to Star about her father Tomás before he passed away when she was only 12 and she talked about what was going to happen now after the family secret revealed before she and Star goes inside. Magnifico, who heard everything, decided to try his hardest to get along with his so-called cousin.

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

The next day, the three brother-in-laws of the Family Madrigal were helping Pearl sorting out the farm while she and the sheriff were dealing paperwork when Magnifico was able to talk to Agustin about last night and decide to invite him and Julieta to have dinner with him and his wife Amaya.

Maggie, who was eating with Mrs. Caloway and Grace, noticed something was heated and decided to go to them while the two cows followed her. Agustín asked him why would he invite them when he made comment about Mirabel which Magnifico questioned back by why he got some nerve to attack him like some cows would do to fight for the farm, he then apologised to the three cows when Grace replied it was alright.

Mrs. Caloway told the two cousins to not fight here in this unless they can it somewhere else, which Maggie said that they can do whatever they as they got popcorn for the show. Agustín still waiting for answers and then started to push Magnifico around until Magnifico swung a punch in his face that caused him to fall onto the mud, Felix and Bruno tried to help Agustín when their brother-in-law attack the king again.

Despite those two had a mud-wrestling and had a time-out in the Sheriff’s Office, Agustín accepted the invitation as long as his three daughters were coming to that got Magnifico to asked Asha and Star to join them which both of them agreed.

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

At dinner time, the royal couple and Mirabel’s parents were feeling awkward while the girls and Star were enjoying their time together, chatting about their lives and what to do in the future.

Just then, Agustín demanded Magnifico to apologise for insulting Mirabel as he was still waiting which the king did, but in a sarcastic manner that made Agustín comment about his actions as a hypocrite over wishes that he was cowardly enough to not grant them.

They argued again and it’s got heated up once Agustín did replied that Magnifico’s parents would be very proud of him if they were actually around which made Amaya and Julieta gasped, Star hide behind Asha’s hair and Magnifico lunged at him which got Valentino to cheer Agustín on and Star decided to get himself ready to jump in when Asha be able to stop him from doing so.

They took it outside to fight until Amaya demanded them to stop immediately which they surprisingly did and told them that they need to stop acting like pair of kids, Agustín would if he didn’t have a cousin who turned out to be selfish man and nearly killed everyone.

Everyone around were shocked to hear this, Mirabel tried to calm the situation down but few of the crowd mentioned that Magnifico was like a psycho back then after Star came to this kingdom, made Asha felt embarrassed and Star looking small as the people complaining about the wishes and the chaos that got the king absolutely mad.

Magnifico silenced them all and then confessed to Agustín that he may have done awful things to them for a good reason as he doesn’t know how to rule the land properly with his magic wasn’t strong enough as he was crown king when he was only 14 after his parents’ deaths at age 8, he also said that he never meant to hurt Asha and her family as he did made a promise to her father Tomás that he would protect her, and then an unusual plant came out between them and showed to be a Dragon Plant.

While Mirabel said that was a serious confession and Sabino explained that the Dragon Plant was his son Tomás’ dream sketch that he wished for it to come alive as it got dragon flowers/flies/fruits and Star somehow got curious about this plant, Magnifico couldn’t believe what he just did until Star looked at him absolutely upset along with worries.

That made the king realised that Asha heard it all and just ran away in tears which Magnifico hesitated to go after her, which Star and Amaya insist him to go after her which he did. Asha’s mother scolded Agustín for being irresponsible and should not pushed the king’s limits as he has been through enough as it was, Isabela couldn’t stop staring at how beautiful this Dragon Plant was and Julieta apologised to Amaya for her husband’s actions towards Magnifico which the queen let her know that she will do something about their beef sooner or later.

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

Magnifico found Asha as she sat on the tree where her and father used to go there and see the stars before he passed away when she was only 12.

He came to her and apologised to her, but she understood why he would actually say that he never wanted to bring up or never wanted all this to happen and she also apologised that the king had to go through without parents to guide him as he was crowned king at such a young age and that she should never have crossed him as he doesn’t want everyone to get hurt.

He explained that he and her father known each other since they were kids at age 3, but Tomás had always act like a big brother to Magnifico when he feels worthless in his time as king and never left his side no matter what. The king also explained that Tomás was fearless and willing to risk his life to save him from the people who wanted him dead along with his parents, and then he told Asha that he had to watch his parents being murder in front of him as a child and he unleashed his powers to kill the murders of his parents. After all that, he was told to be crowned king by 14 and he was already had a panic attack during his coronation day when Tomás be able to help him go through.

He had always believed that he would never be a good king like his father was, but he knew that he would done something terrible for a good reason to protect everyone from the stars as he feared that he was just a normal man with his heart hiding grief and fear from everyone, especially Amaya.

He still apologised to Asha, and replied that she was trying to help others and never hurt them, blaming himself in disgrace when Asha said that the people in Rosas had all the hopes and dreams in their hearts to believe the wishes would come true because of him; They were willing to be more than what they were because of him, they would make mistakes and learn from them because of him.

Then, Magnifico and Asha had emotional embraced as Star came to join them and booped the king’s nose as he forgive him.

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

The next day, Agustín couldn’t shake the feeling of him in guilt and let his frustration out while Felix and Bruno listened to him.

He kept complaining and groaning at his problems with Magnifico when Bruno accidentally snapped at him and said that he needed to get a grip and accept the fact that Magnifico is his cousin, he then apologised to him for snapping. Felix pointed out that he needed to apologise to him for what he did yesterday by pushing his limits to confess that he had doubts about being a good king.

Even the three cows agreed with them as they all said that he need to think about his cousin than just his daughter Mirabel as they know about his thoughts on the one person in the family who doesn’t have a gift, Agustín thought about it before made a decision and decided to go to the kingdom of Rosas right after, apologising his so-called cousin whether he liked it or not.

🦋🌟🦋🌟🦋

Agustín traveled to the Kingdom of Rosas and was greeted by Amaya who was surprised to see him, but also grateful that he was only came to apologise Magnifico for his behaviour towards him and in front of everyone.

While the queen goes to find her husband, the blue madrigal goes to the shelves of books that he had never seen before, then his eyes were on the Book of Forbidden Magic that caught him curious. But before he could touch it, Magnifico stopped and warned him that book was strictly forbidden. Agustín wasn’t sure but his hands were still in the case when magical dragonflies came out and started to attack him, Magnifico came in and controlled the dragonflies and put it back where it’s belong.

When Magnifico asked why Agustín was here, the blue madrigal replied that he came to apologise since Bruno and Felix made it clear that he did pushed the king too far but Magnifico said that he did found Asha and those two somehow reconnected as friends.

Then, the king noticed that Agustín’s socks were different colours and patterns which he explained to the king that Mirabel made these socks for him that resemblance to her and Luisa since he had a pink flower as Isabela. Agustín explained that he was proud of his three daughters, especially Mirabel as she was the only one who doesn’t have a gift, and he and his wife Julieta would always be there for her when she felt so alone and not fitting in the family since Alma doesn’t seem to care about her for 10 years.

He admitted that he had always wanted to hurt the mother-in-law so badly that he once had a dream about hurting her while she was arguing with Mirabel before Casita fallen apart as the magic died once, took an axe and about to throw it at her after he moved Mirabel to the side as he ignored everyone around him.

Magnifico couldn’t believe what he was hearing and understood what was like to hurt someone who treated that person you cared the most means nothing, the king mentioned that he was once struggling to deal with the nightmares he had that kept haunted him since the day he lost his parents. He mentioned that he was only a child when his powers came out of him and accidentally killed the men who murdered his parents in front of him and the people around him. Agustín had no idea, and yet he apologised.

Magnifico explained that he felt weak after he somehow used all his powers to stop the murderers from killing more innocent lives and he slowly recovered after 1 week in bed, he couldn’t forget the night that changed his life forever once he became king at age 14 and he would promise himself that he would do anything he could to protect his old homeland from what happened in the past. He did truly regret his actions after Star came to Asha’s help to have something more for everyone than what he had done, he did asked forgiveness to Amaya who surprisingly forgive him and apologised to him for not be able to save him as she sense that the book contained dark magic.

Agustín replied that the queen loved him more than anything in the universe as he can see from those two being like young lovers, Magnifico chuckled at that and mentioned that he met her on his coronation day when she was so shy around him but showed great kindness towards him and supported him while she and her family were staying for a while. They became good friends until they turned 18 that lead them to fell in love with each other, Magnifico still remembered it like it was yesterday and noticed that Agustín’s smile before he explained to him that he felt the same way about himself and Julieta when they were young at age 12.

Agustín mentioned that he and his family were travelling in their lives since he was a baby until they entered Encanto where they met the Family Madrigal, Agustín were playing the piano and met Julieta who was dancing along with the music he was playing. It was love at first sight to them but they kept a secret until they were 21 where he proposed to her in front of their families. He also said that Alma never got along with him and was skeptical that he would fall in love with her daughter since Agustín wasn’t Alma's first choice to marry Julieta, besides judged him harshly for his clumsiness.

But Magnifico mentioned that Julieta loved Agustín so much just like how Amaya loved the king, which the blue madrigal agreed.

Agustín decided to invite Magnifico to the Family Madrigal dinner tomorrow night and he could bring his wife, Asha and their friends if they want to come along as well. When Magnifico asked why he would invite him and the others over, Agustín mentioned that they’d better get along or they’d ended be at each other’s throats again and again.

Magnifico commented that it was like they were acting like brothers than cousins or maybe like Lilo and Nani when they have a sister-fight over the smallest things as possible like how the social worker Cobra Bubbles arrived and left, both of them laughed at that when they were told by Goofy about Lilo and Nani’s relationship few weeks ago.

While they laughed, their chest suddenly glows that led the entire kingdom into warmth and hope in their hearts just like Star did when he was summoned by Asha, but much more love of the family. But it was not just the Kingdom of Rosas, it also in Encanto as well they.

Once they’re done laughing, Magnifico notices that his wishes were glowing multicolour which was unusual, but decided to not bother with it.

(Part two will come real soon)

Song opening for years later after child Magnifico meet his baby cousin, not knowing that he’s Agustín Madrigal: The Family Madrigal (Once Upon A Studio Version)

[brandnewhuman]

hihiii,, i was wondering if i could request slashers with a naturally dom gn!reader??

I would love to read the dynamics of the relationships and how things would progress 👀💞💕

Omg ofc!!^^ oh god I'm so excited, this is my first request. Hope you like it!! *insert evil gremlin giggles* I had way too much fun with this

SLASHERS WITH DOM GN!READER

INCLUDES:

Michael Myers, Jesse Cromeans, Thomas Hewitt, Brahms Heelshire,

Tw: canon violence, slightly NSFW, sfw, mention of murder, injuries and all that jazz

A/N: like I said in my rules post I'm not the best at writing NSFW stuff like smut ecc so please do forgive me for this atrocious thing I've created. I've tried to go more for a soft dom thing. Hope you like it tho ^^. Also you haven't specified which slashers did you want in particular so I just chose randomly.

THOMAS HEWITT:

Thomas is not a very dominant person by nature

He being shy and self conscious doesn't help his cause

He low-key allows everyone to boss him around in a very aggressive and almost abusive way (besides luda mae ofc, but even her sometimes is really harsh with him)

So having someone who can take control while being considerate of his feelings is a nice change he's eager to welcome

Let's be honest, he's already willing of doing anything his s/o wants to make them happy so

Please use your influence to make him take care of himself. Telling him how proud you feel everytime he does

Low-key has a praise kink

Having someone so confident he considers perfect complimenting him and say he's being good or praising how he does everything you ask for perfectly makes him feel so much better about himself

letting his s/o be the one leading is a relief for him. He kinda feels like for the first time he can let someone be in charge without feeling guilty

Even if he's a big guy, this giant Teddy bear is going to be clay on his s/o hands.

He's not going to have much experience so Tommy's honestly glad his s/o tells him what to do

He's not going to be as afraid of hurting you as usual cause he knows you're always have everything under control

However, as much as he enjoys the whole being a bottom business he wants his boundaries respected

That means he's not going to be happy about punishments ecc being them the sexual ones or any other sort

It's not that he's a brat or anything

Prefers much more a gentle correction or just simply telling him when he needs to do something differently. He has enough people making feel bad for every single mistake, he does not want to feel like his s/o sees him as a failure too

Speaking of, his s/o will definitely have to defend their man honour in front of hoyt. He's going to be an ass as soon and say things to Thomas such a "man up" ecc..

Overall he just enjoys having you around to make him feel safe and loved. You're going to have so much work to do about his self esteem but in the end it's worthy cause he's ready to go to the moon and back for you

BRAHMS HEELSHIRE:

Bro has big gremlin energy I'm sorry.

At first his going to take it a challenge of seeing how long it takes for you to give up

He's not bratty for sake of being bratty, he has a purpose. he kinda senses when someone is easy to boss around and will take advantage of that

When he sees that your being dominant means having structure and receiving a healthy form of love he will eventually accept his role of sub gremlin

Mate is going to do anything it takes to please you

I feel like one of the things he likes the most about having a dom s/o is the reassurance and comfort it brings to him

He prefers having someone who knows how to handle him and keeps him in line rather than a person who's easy to push around

I mean, half of the work is already done with him having the need to follow a routine and rules

Your personality falls perfectly into place with his, your taking charge of things is almost a comfort blanket for brahms

It gives him the feeling of safety of being taken care and knowing he can rely on someone when things are difficult

The stability you give him is something he deeply appreciates

That doesn't mean he's not going to test your patience more than once

Babyboy here is not going to give a flying fuck about the stability when you happen to say no to him.

Unlike Thomas you can and should make punishment for him

Not too hard-core ones but still

Be careful cause this horny bastard might enjoy sexual punishments

Do tell him when his being good, compliment his appearance and praise him when he takes care of himself cause the reason behind the poor hygiene, not eating enough, lack of sleep ecc is due to his depression and mental problems. He has being raised to feel like a burden and to hide himself and his problems behind the wall so please do all you can to help him not only a talking about his problems but to make him feel like he's worthy of taking care of himself

AYO BIG FAT PRAISE KINK BRUV

One (1) single "good boy" and his soul is skyrocketing out of his fucking body

He finds his relationship with you so fulfilling, it feels nice to have someone who's personality allows him to be more vulnerable

I think having a dom s/o could be really healthy for brahms. He needs the unconditional love and reassurance but also needs someone capable of toning him down in a healthy way when he's getting out of control

MiCHAEL MYERS

He, like brahms, feeds on people's fear. That the whole point of being the shape, he enjoys how much power he has over someone. People who are easy to crush and break down only makes him want to kill them more

Long story short he is girlbossing through life

So probably what saved your life was your dominant nature. He has been observing how you seem to naturally take charge anywhere you go but without being pushy and forcing anyone to do anything

You had this talent of making everyone at ease and effortlessly being able to take the lead. People around you were always willing to do what you needed them to do without being manipulative or anything. You just made everyone comfortable enough to give up control

The tall bastard here was mesmerised and honestly curious

It doesn't need to be said that Michael likes to have always control over everything and associates giving up control to being treated like he was treated back in Smith's groove. He always felt the imbalance of power between him and everyone else there and feeling that weak and vulnerable again is never going to be an option for mikey

After he makes himself known ecc and your relationship starts to bloom it's not going to be fucking easy

You have come to know how much michael dispise when someone else is in charge but both of you are pretty stubborn so eventually you just learned to be more sneaky about it.

Michael dominance is based on being feared so when that doesn't work on you he's flabbergasted

He's having none of it. You mean to tell me that you don't let the shape, the boogeyman of haddonfield boss you around and tell you what to do?? Unacceptable.

He won't say but he doesn't even realise you have already got your way. You're so subtle and gentle, playing your cards well.

Michael ends up being oblivious about the fact that he's already doing what you want him to do. He's a deeply emotional damaged man and even if he doesn't want to admit the fastest way to get to his heart is just taking care of him the way he needs

"Michael, honey you must be hungry aren't you? Why don't seat and eat some dinner, how does that sound?"

Just making everything look like his the one deciding and he will do about anything.

Now here's the tricky part; while this might work as soon as he catches up on what you're doing he's going to distance himself

Maybe he tells himself he will just leave you and never come back but deep inside he can't deny how nice does it feels to be around you. He will do this until he manages to sort out his feelings and finds a way to allow himself to feel like this

He's genuinely scare deep inside. His afraid of you abusing the power you have and honestly he sometimes doesn't feel like it's worthy to put so much effort on making him feel good

He has only ever known a single way to feel good and thats killing people, so when you manage to get him to feel something nice just by being around him ecc it messes up his head a little bit.

He's never going to give you full control but he has somehow managed to meet you along the way.

One of the few things he enjoys (even if he knows you're making it looks like he's in control so he doesn't get uncomfortable) is how you praise him and you tell him all the ways only him is capable of making you feel.

That being said if you're able to get away with being dominant with Michael you're honestly impressive and you scare me.

JESSE CROMEANS:

Hear me out, he would be more than willing to let you be the dom. In fact he would even enjoy it

His having the time of his making things harder for you though

We have talked about praise kink now get ready for degrading kink

If we're talking about laid to rest 1 jesse then he's gonna be a difficult little bitch just because he likes to test you and your capabilities of finding a appropriate punishment that can put in his place

If it's laid to rest 2 ....don't. He won't say anything cause he wants to seem tough but the whole degrading thing will take a tool on him after the incident. His self esteem is not the same anymore and he's going to have a hard time trying to enjoy sex again

I feel like what makes you special to jesse is the significant difference between the way the victims he chooses behaves and how you act.

He enjoys submissiveness in victims cause it makes killing them more fun. Watching as they plead to be spared and how low they're willing to get to survive.

But with you he wants it to be different cause he knows that he's receiving as much as he's giving away. In your hands he will be everything you want

He, like Thomas, enjoys being free from responsibilities and having a space where he can just give the lead to someone else and just enjoy fooling around and being taken care of

Even more after the injuries on his face. Now more than ever jesse wants to feel loved and to let go the tough guy act. If before he liked because of the sex aspect now he truly appreciates the other parts too

Your praise, your constance reassurance of good and perfect he is, the way you incite him into being more nice to himself

Now your punishments are more caused more because of him talking bad about himself than because he's behaving bad

He generally feels a lot of pressure on him, he always has to take a lot of decisions and most of the time there are so many lives (including yours) depending on him and his lead

So coming home to someone who can take that off of him and allow him to just exist is really something he will never thank you enough for

Can and will encourage you in trying anything new you want while doing sex. He's rich so money is not a problem and honestly jesse enjoys trying new things with you cause he knows you would never do anything that could hurt him or his feelings.

Baldy is a good sub. 10/10 would recommend. Would love you and worship the ground you walk on

TOS Crew-Phobias

Been thinking about And The Children Shall Lead and how the kids play on everyone’s inner Beast, and trying to decipher what fears each crew member may have based on what the children made them do and see.

The asterisk means it’s either an approximation because their fear is too specific, or if they had this fear they’ve since developed means of coping

James Kirk: Autophobia

Autophobia: Fear of being alone

I feel like this one’s pretty obvious. People tend to make the argument that the Enterprise (the ship itself) is Kirk’s overpowering true love, but I don’t think that’s it. It’s more the friends and the life that he’s made within The Enterprise that he’s terrified of losing. Some of the places we see Jim at his most upset and afraid in the series are when he feels he’s been abandoned or is forcibly (and seemingly permanently) separated from the crew. How visibly upset he is on the empty Enterprise in This Side of Paradise and The Mark of Gideon, lashing out at Spock when the crew reluctantly relieves him of duty in The Deadly Years, and his deep resentment toward Deela when she kidnaps him in Wink of An Eye. This is also further reinforced by his actions in Star Trek: The Motion Picture & The Search for Spock. He’s also one of the two characters (the other being Sulu) where his fear counts as an actual phobia and not a hypothetical phobia, ingrained personality trait, or symptom of Neurodivergence.

S’chn T’gai Spock: *OCD (fear of losing control)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Obsessive thoughts that lead to repetitive actions.

If anything what we might perceive as OCD-like (or at least Neurodivergent) behavior may be typical of the Vulcan condition. I don’t think Spock has OCD, or at least I don’t know enough about it to say for sure, but what came up whenever I looked up “fear of hurting others/losing control” it came up without fail. While we don’t actually get to see whatever is making Spock’s hand tremble, momentarily defy orders and act as though everything is fine. I think we can surmise that his Beast convinced him that following the order would somehow hurt Jim or that he would be possessed/controlled to do so. Operation: Annihilate, Amok Time, Plato’s Stepchildren and essentially Spock’s whole character arc prove this to be true.

Bones: *Hyper-Empathy/Thanatophobia

Thanatophobia: Fear of death, dying, watching others die and/or others watching you die

There is a headcanon that Dr. McCoy is autistic with the hyper-empathy symptom, meaning he has a really hard time watching others suffer. This may have been the reason he became a doctor in the first place, or became worse/was triggered by his father’s death. While not technically a phobia and we don’t see Bones face his Beast in ATCSL. Evidence from other episodes supports this, Miri, Metamorphosis, Plato’s Stepchildren, The Empath, and For The World is Hollow & I Have Touched The Sky all heavily support this.

Scotty-Astrophobia

Astrophobia: Fear of getting lost or dying in space

Seems like kind of a ridiculous fear for someone who builds, maintains, and lives starships to have right? Maybe, but if that is something he’s deeply afraid of, it would make his surpassing ability to make certain the ship doesn’t explode despite impossible odds make plenty of sense. I don’t think it’s space itself that freaks Scotty out, it’s the idea of being stuck out there and/or suffering the cold and grizzly death that is getting sucked out into space does. So he does everything in his power to ensure that never happens. Out of all the supporting characters, the events of the episode that sparked this post aside, Scotty seems to have the best handle on his fear, the most condemning evidence that he’s got Astrophobia occurs later in season 3. He freezes up in the Jeffrey’s Tube during delicate work in That Which Survives. As well as telling his love interest that being bone deep afraid that you’re going to die in the cold vacuum of space is a perfectly normal thing to constantly think about in Lights of Zetar. Still, he is uncommonly steely-eyed and level headed whenever he has the con, even in the face of his fear. I used to theorize that maybe he was afraid of failure/imperfection, but Scotty’s Jerry-Rigs and Duct-tape way of doing things doesn’t lend itself to that idea. What stuck out to me was his comment “we’ll all be lost, forever lost!” in And The Children Shall Lead that made me think Astrophobia would be a good fit.

Nyota Uhura-Nosophobia

Nosophobia: Fear of contracting deadly disease

Uhura’s fear seems to be dying a slow and painful death by disease, one where she is irrevocably physically/mentally altered by her suffering. There’s evidence for this when she sees the appeal of immortality in I, Mudd, and that she’s scared she’ll end up like Chekov in The Tholian Web. Nosophobia is not hypochondria (convincing yourself that you have a disease/compulsively self-diagnosing) or germaphobia (extreme fear of germs and sickness). Nosophobia is more long term, an irrational fear of things like cancer and Alzheimer’s and other such conditions as well as potentially deadly viruses. It seems to me that if Uhura were to die she’d rather it be quick and painless rather than endure that sort of battle.

Hikaru Sulu-Cleithrophobia

Cleithrophobia: Fear of being trapped

Again, someone I thought maybe was afraid of failure (afraid of failing by destroying the ship with the swords in ATCSL) before I picked up on a very interesting pattern I noticed from The Corbomite Maneuver. Sulu gets really fatalistic and/or agitated when it seems like he’s trapped with no way out. He hyper fixates on the countdown when their trapped and condemned to destruction by Balok in The Corbomite Maneuver, he makes dark jokes while trapped and freezing to death on the planet from The Enemy Within. He seizes up instead of fleeing or fighting the Law Givers in Return if The Archons, and even panics a little when they’re trapped by the giant hand in Who Mourns For Adonais (and usually Sulu is insanely chill under pressure). Cleithrophobia gets confused with Claustrophobia often, but Celthrophobia has much more emphasis on the trapped and no way out elements than just enclosed spaces. So him being terrified by being unable to move because it’s surrounded by swords actually makes a lot of sense! Honestly, I find it uniquely fitting that a flyboy with an enthusiasm for growing things would be agitated by places that do not allow growth or flight.

Pavel Chekov-Proditophobia (in reverse)

Proditophobia: Fear of betrayal

Proditophobia is the fear of being betrayed, but there is more evidence to suggest that Pavel is waaaaay more terrified of betraying or being disloyal rather than being the victim of that action. There’s certainly evidence for it in both The Trouble with Tribbles and Day of The Dove, where he is driven to act out violently on the behalf of those he feels deep loyalty towards, in his head, allowing someone else’s reputation to be trashed counts as disloyalty. And The Children Shall Lead also shows us, at least at this point in Chekov’s character development, he feels more loyalty to Starfleet than the Enterprise crew (something that certainly changes/evolves by the time the movies roll around). The case might even have been that he was all bark and no bite and really wasn’t actually going to kill his Captain or mentor, he was just hoping they’d believe him so that they’d go peacefully and he wouldn’t have to worry about betraying Starfleet at all. I used to think maybe he feared punishment or retribution, but he’d never break any rules if that were the case, and if I know anything about this feral gremlin of an Ensign, he’ll do that in a split second if someone questions his loyalty.

Local trash-gremlin re-discovered Lego-show and loses mind

(still just slightly embarrassed that I’m almost 18 and somehow still got back into the Lego-show I spent my childhood watching and geniuely enjoy it-)

I completely forgot that Pythor was actually a pretty well-written character. ...aside from the fact that he’s batshit crazy and probably a psychopath from spending years underground doing unspeakable things to survive-

I adore this lanky bastard, no joke. Who gave this snake the permission to be this funny and charismatic

Makes me want to write a whole-ass fanfiction where Pythor hasn’t completely gone insane yet and instead of wanting to eat and betray Lloyd, he just looks at this kid stumbling into his tomb and just goes “I’ve known this scrappy brat for exactly 0.5 seconds but if anything were to happen to him I will kill everyone in this room and then myself” and promptly decides he’ll be his guardian. Like, actually. Without abandoning him later and putting him in a cage and shit-

Just. Pythor instinctively lunging at any and every small animals he encounters on the surface and presenting them to Lloyd (and quickly realizing that he’s aquired himself a picky charge.... pff, who wouldn’t eat a freshly caught, perfectly fine rat?) Pythor using the fact that he’s a snake to steal food (or just flat-out turn invisible to not draw any unwanted attention to them) for Lloyd and himself after giving up on trying to convince Lloyd that rats don’t taste that bad. Pythor wrapping Lloyd up with his tail when sleeping (and using him as a space heater in the process).

Uses his brains to try to keep this child out of trouble.

Gods, he looks away for 5 seconds and this kid released yet aNOTHER serpentine-tribe. HOW did he get himself stuck in a cage? He really needs to work on this kids manners- what? the school they sent him to actively encouraged him to never say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’? Gods, Pythor was stuck in a tomb for god-knows how many years and even HE has better manners than this literal demon spawn.

Why is this child dead-set on getting revenge on some Ninjas. Shouldn’t their first priority be finding a place to stay and, idk, a consistent food-supply?

Skales, help. Your tribe still has hatchlings and young around. My scale-less hatchling behaves like a goddamn heathen, help me.

The Ninjas keep trying to take his human-hatchling from him. No, thank you very much, he found him first and like the old rule goes, finders keepers. What do you mean, kidnapping? YOU kidnapped him first!

He doesn’t give a fuck about collecting the Fangblades, he’s gotta keep an eye on the human-hatchling. The Ninjas collect them anyways, just in case. He keeps shooting them dirty looks whenever they cross paths, before scooping up his human-charge and slithering off.

When the Ninjas do end up getting their hands on Lloyd, Pythor throws a fit about needing to go with him. Of course they don’t let a snake on the bounty. Cue Pythor using his invisibility to sneak on board. Will you stop surprise-adopting my hatchling, please?! 

It takes Lloyd and Pythor a solid 3 hours of convincing (and a powerpoint that Pythor managed to make god-knows-where) to let him stay.

He’s not very pleased upon finding out that they expect a 10 year old to fight against his father. Not at all.

“Skales, thanks for the books on how to raise a troubled hatchling, but I think I need another one.”

“What for?”

“How to prepare your hatchling to fight against his father in the foreseeable future.”

[robininthelabyrinth]

I've never done this before? Is this even the right place for prompts?! I found your fic a week ago, and you're so good! It's totally cool if you don't write this (it's so hokey) but I'd love to see His Excellency LWJ having to celebrate his birthday publicly. It's awful, he gets lots of bad presents. Maybe he gets ugly headdresses and sect leaders trying to hook him up with their daughters. His gremlin husband runs interference and gives him The Best Present. (NHS gets him something tasteful.)

Untamed verse

On the morning of his birthday, the Chief Cultivator, Lan Wangji, wakes up on time, as always, and finds his normally-fast-asleep husband wide awake and wearing nothing but a ribbon. He does not leave his bed for another shichen, missing breakfast; he will need to make it up to his family later.

He does not care. He knows it will be the only good gift he receives today.

-

The first gifts begin arriving at lunch: the political ones, the ones aimed at honoring the Chief Cultivator rather than Lan Wangji himself. Mediocre artwork that he would never allow to deface his walls, local ‘specialties’ so vile that even Wei Wuxian chokes on them, invitations to come view various local attractions that are so obviously requests for assistance that they can barely be described as being badly-hidden.

At least four different sects gift him with empty scrolls that are just the right size for him to write the Lan sect rules into and which are obviously designed for expressly that purpose. It is not subtle. 

The more irritating Lan clan elders forgo even this obvious step and simply provide him with the sect rules themselves – again. There is a fairly obvious emphasis on the provisions that would suggest that his marriage to Wei Wuxian might not have been the wisest decision he’d ever made.

Lan Wangji accepts them all, and wants none.

-

In the afternoon, Lan Wangji opens letters. Some of them, blissfully, relate to actual work he has to complete in his role as Chief Cultivator. Most do not.

Several of them offer – in not especially subtle terms – their daughters or sisters or nieces to be his concubine, since obviously his current spouse will be incapable of bearing children for him.

Wei Wuxian finds those letters, and spends at least a shichen cackling, pretending to be pregnant. There is a brief interlude. Later, Wei Wuxian even suggests that Lan Wangji consider accepting the offers just long enough to go judge the quality of “the goods” that he is being offered before rejecting it as insulting and degrading to all those involved.

He stops only after Lan Wangji notes that the niece referenced in the letter he was holding is younger than Lan Sizhui. They both agree never to discuss it again.

-

Sect Leader Yao invites him to come around to a family dinner sometime. 

This is, somehow, even more insulting than the concubines.

-

Shortly before dinner, Lan Wangji receives the gifts which have been categorized as personal.

His uncle gives him practical things, as he has always done – a new sheath for Bichen and replacement strings for Wangji, in this instance – and Lan Wangji supposes that he should appreciate them more than he does. It is only that his uncle often gives him practical things, and it does not feel as though any particular effort has been made regarding his birthday.

His brother sends him a painting. It is lovely. Lan Wangji would rather have seen his brother, who remains in seclusion.

Lan Sizhui has thoughtfully composed a small song for him, as he has done every year since Lan Wangji adopted him, and he and Lan Jingyi perform it together. Lan Wangji has not yet found a way to tell his beloved adopted son that his top-notch skills at musical cultivation do not translate into a talent for composing, and long ago resigned himself to taking the secret to his grave. The song does not cause his qi to deviate on the spot; that is already something.

Lan Jingyi gifts him with a rabbit. It might have been a good gift if it wasn’t one of his own.

When night falls, Lan Wangji receives the gifts which have been deemed ‘important’ – in other words, the ones from the sect leaders of the other Great Sects. Lan Wangji is not sure why these gifts are always presented at night, as it means he will not be able to write appropriate thank-you notes until the morning.

It occurs to him, not for the first time, that perhaps that is the reason.

Jin Ling sends him something from the Lanling treasury – a dagger, gilt gold. Lan Wangji would never use such a gaudy object. Wei Wuxian suggests pawning it on their next night-hunt, and Lan Wangji suspects that that may in fact be its intended use, beyond Jin Ling simply wanting to get rid of the thing.

Jiang Chen sends him a horrifically ugly statue.

“Did – did he go blind?” Wei Wuxian asked, staring at it with an expression of awe, and possibly fear. Lan Wangji does not blame him.

It is truly beyond the pale. Mere words cannot encompass its hideousness.

“No,” Lan Wangji said grimly. “He will insist on seeing it on his next visit. Politics therefore require me to place it in a public location.”

“…has he done this before?”

“There are sixteen in the closet.”

Wei Wuxian covers his mouth, but the motion is inadequate to conceal his laughter. Lan Wangji studies the statue – Jiang Cheng truly outdid himself this year, as Lan Wangji is unable to even determine what was the original subject matter the (potentially deranged) artist was attempting to depict – and mentally vows to himself that the hairpiece he invariably presents to Jiang Cheng in return will be even more grotesque than usual this year.

Possibly something that will make his hair stick up like a cockatiel.

“At least Nie Huaisang got you something tasteful,” Wei Wuxian comments, unrolling the artwork and holding it up against the wall. Lan Wangji hopes he is not planning on putting it there permanently. “This is a perfectly lovely cityscape! Nothing like those terrible ones from earlier.”

“It is pornography,” Lan Wangji says, and Wei Wuxian chokes.

“Are you sure?” his husband wheezes. “I don’t – it’s a cityscape.”

Lan Wangji is sure. He does not need to check to confirm it. It has always been pornography.

However, because he loves his husband, he walks over to the table and examines it briefly.

“The second window in the inn,” he finally says.

Wei Wuxian squints at the painting. “Which one is the inn..? The second – oh. Oh. Wait! That’s you and me!”

“Yes,” Lan Wangji says. “It usually is.”

“Usually – no, you know what, I’m not going to ask you which ones they are. I’m going to examine each painting you own until I find the rest of them.” He paused. “Can I hang this one up?”

“Not in the main room,” Lan Wangji compromises. Mentally, he swears revenge against Nie Huaisang. 

He does not expect anything to come of that oath. Unlike Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang has proven irritatingly difficult to annoy, even when one is making a sincere effort.

On second thought, perhaps that is for the best. 

“Well,” Wei Wuxian said, after he’s finished hanging up the offending item. “After seeing all those presents, I feel like I’ve fallen down on the job. All I have to offer you is more of the same thing I gave you this morning.”

It is nice, Lan Wangji contemplates, to be proven wrong in his assumption that he would receive only one nice gift all day.
