#he literally sparkles--what's not to like lol 😂

[acacia-may]

A little tree penny for Kirsch Vermillion, please 🌲🌸

Thank you so much for playing my Penny for Your Thoughts ask game, Anon-Friend, and for asking about such a beautiful little tree! 🌲🌸 I love that you included a cherry blossom emoji for Kirsch too and that this ask came in on his birthday! How fitting! Happy Birthday to the most sparkly character in Black Clover! 💖(Literally, friends. He literally sparkles...)

Kirsch is such a fun character, but he's objectively not the best (or nicest) person in the world. He's pretty full of himself and those kind of haughty attitudes (without some sort of inferiority underlying them) can make me really, really dislike a character (so perhaps I'm a bit on Mimosa's side about Kirsch being annoying). That said, he definitely made me laugh (it's those sparkles and those melodramatic entrances, I'm telling you!), and I did actually find some enjoyment in his appearances because he's just so over-the-top and ridiculous (and wildly entertaining). I feel like I'm bashing on him a bit, so I will say that I appreciate the fact that he isn't afraid to be himself and march to the beat of his own drum. Even though he's a Vermillion, he didn't feel the Crimson Lions squad was a good fit for him so he decided to join up with Coral Peacocks instead. He really doesn't seem to put up with any garbage from anyone and just does what he wants regardless of what is the societal norm or what's expected of him, which as we've seen in the aristocratic Clover Kingdom circles, can be a very dangerous (i.e. socially damaging) thing so it does take bravery to break the mold as royalty, I think. Plus, it takes a lot of bravery to go out in public dressed in such gaudy attire. (Seriously what is that headband? Where did it come from, and why does he wear it? 😂). All jokes aside though, I actually do love Kirsch's originality, and I appreciate that he began to recognize some of the errors of his ways (at least in terms of his relationship with his sister) and is trying to be better. I'd love to see a little bit more of him, especially building on those themes from the Royal Knights' Exam in which he was starting to become a little less narcissistic and starting to understand his sister and patch things up with her. I hope his character development arc continues to trend in this positive direction! 🌸

I think Kirsch's relationship with his little sister, Mimosa, and with his Captain, Dorothy Unsworth, are probably the most interesting things about him. I really am such a sucker for problematic/complicated siblings relationships so goodness knows I got invested in Mimosa and Kirsch's sibling bond and wanted them to reach some sort of understanding with each other. I'll admit that even though it meant their relationship with each other was strained, I do love how he brought out this different side of Mimosa. In a way it's kind of nice to know that Mimosa is human and can actually get really annoyed with people (even if "people" is really only her brother). I hope now that they've come to understand each other a little better they'll be able to have a better relationship going forward. I'm really curious about how Kirsch and Dorothy get along as Vice Captain and Captain of the Coral Peacocks. They seem like they would be such unlikely friends, and I love imagining what their dynamic is like.

The first song that came to mind for Kirsch was "I'm Too Pretty For This" by Claire Rosinkranz. Please disregard the fact it's a breakup song (A/N: I don't ship Kirsch with anyone. He's too full of himself right now for me to get behind the idea of him being in a relationship with anyone else. He needs to learn some selflessness first), but it's just the overall vibes and that sort of haughty cheekiness of the refrain that reminds me of Kirsch. I can totally see Kirsch responding to someone else's garbage in this way--just prancing around with his sparkles and flower petals like:

"I'm too pretty for this Da-da-da-da-da-da I'm too pretty for this Da-da-da-da-da-da"

And I do mean that as a compliment. Kirsch doesn't put up with anybody else's garbage and does whatever the heck he wants and (at least under certain circumstances) that can be a really good and commendable thing.

[Warnings: This song contains one bad word repeated a couple of times. The Spotify link is the clean version, but the YouTube link is not, so please just be aware. Thanks.]

omg I literally came across your work today and it was so awesome!!!! I was wondering if you’d be comfortable writing a more dominant buck cleven with his young wife and then another one which is buck cleven meeting a young girl and their love story with the the war timeline super cute fluff.

Of course it us up to you if you want to do it. But i just wanted to say how mych i love your work and i look forward to seeing more!! ❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊

hey, love! 💐 so, I googled Buck's age and apparently he was quite young during the war. because of Austin, I thought that he was like in his 30s. but apparently he was born in 1918, so he was only like 25 in 1943. and I'm not very comfy with writing readers who are "barely legal" in age gap relationships, so I didn't focus much on reader's age here. I mean, even if she's his age, then she's still a young girl 😂

this fic takes place after the war and they are married. Buck works at some military base idk it's not really mentioned nor important lol. he's rougher here than in the previous one but not very rough either because I think he's overall a softie for his girl 🤭 Buck and reader are in a traditional marriage 🥧

when it comes to the second idea with the war timeline, it's like a multichapter fic idea and I am not in the right headspace to write something so long at the moment. I am sorry, boo 🥺

my inbox is open for blurb/short fic requests for major cleven 🤗

🔞 THIS FIC IS 18+ 🔞

Being married to Buck Cleven was a dream come true and you just wanted to make everything right. You would wake up an hour before him to put your make up on, get dressed in a cute dress and an apron, to take out the curlers out of your hair. And to prepare him a warm breakfast that would be ready when he is awake. You were helping Buck to get ready for work and then you would go grocery shopping. Then you would clean the house and cook dinner. In the meantime the dog your husband had brought from the war – Meatball – required some of your attention as well. He had to be fed and wanted to go out on a long walk once a day. He was a Husky so running around the garden was not enough for him.

It wasn't as easy to be a housewife as some women pictured it. It wasn't as peaceful and calm and relaxing. But it was worth everything. Your husband's smile and kisses on the cheek. You just wanted to make him happy. It was like you were infected with the affection because making him happy was everything that mattered. You never wanted him to complain or start looking for fun outside the house. You wanted to be his everything as much as he was yours.

And today you decided to bake him a pie. It was Friday and he had a long and stressful week. You wanted to make him a sweet and sour cherry pie to show him how much you loved and appreciated him. But everything seemed to go wrong with it. You were slow on that day and your first try was a disaster. You had to throw it away and start all over again, angry at yourself. Your cheeks and nose were stained with flour and your hands were red from the cherries' juice. You were so frustrated, you didn't notice what time it had already been.

You were so focused on kneading the dough that you didn't hear the sound of the car parking outside. Perhaps you did but you thought it was the neighbor. There was no reason why your husband would be home so early, right?

It wasn't early at all, though. It was exactly the same time when Buck would come back home every day. And he was surprised not to see you standing behind the window and waiting for him with a soft smile. It made him worry a little.

And then he walked inside the house and didn't see you in the corridor to take his jacket and give him a kiss. That was more than unusual indeed. He looked around and sighed before taking the jacket off on his own and hanging it on the wall. It didn't feel the same without your soft fingers helping him and your sweet lips asking him about his day. He missed your eyes sparkling at the sight of him, your loving smile, your lovely scent. Your warm lips on his cheek, staining it slightly with a cherry red lipstick. God, he was crazy about you.

"Baby?" he asked in a soft voice. The very first place he checked was the kitchen and there you were, working passionately on something on the counter in front of you. He was facing your back so he had no idea what it could be. "Baby?" he asked once again and you jumped a little at the sound.

Your heart pounded in your chest. You got scared by your husband's voice but you also were scared that he was back so soon. You took a quick glance at the clock on the wall and swallowed thickly. Yes, it made perfect sense that he was home already. And you didn't have the pie ready yet.

Hell, you didn't even have the dinner ready at all!

"Oh, Buck!" you sobbed and turned around. He furrowed his brows at that sudden outburst and your face stained with flour. Then he noticed your red hands.

"Is everything alright, sweetheart?" he hurried to your side and grabbed your wrists. "What's going on? Is that blood?"

"Hm? What? No, no," you sniffed. "It's cherries," you explained and he sighed with relief. "I wanted to make you a cherry pie. But I'm slow today and I ruined the first one. I wanted to make it again, I lost the track of time… I didn't prepare dinner either… Oh goodness, I am the worst wife ever. You must regret marrying me. I'm so sorry," you sobbed again and looked down, avoiding his gaze.

Buck was left speechless at this little scene. He had no idea you felt this way.

"What are you talking about, doll?" he asked carefully and tried to wipe the flour away from your cheeks but he only smudged it in the process. You looked adorable like that to him, though. He only wished you didn't cry. It was making him feel physical pain deep in his chest to see you sad like this. You were his girl and his job was to make you happy. "You're the best wife I could ever wish for. Every day I ask myself how the hell did I get so lucky."

"R-really?" you bit on your lower lip and looked up at him with wet eyes. "I'm a mess."

"We all make a mess sometimes," Buck shushed you and leaned in to place a soft kiss upon your lips. "And no one makes a prettier mess than you do, darling," he added with a smirk.

In one swift motion he lifted you up and turned around to sit you up on the empty counter. You were surprised that he rewarded your failure with a kiss but you couldn't complain. You crossed your legs behind him and put your fingers in his golden hair. You let out a sweet moan into his mouth and felt your cheeks heating up.

"I'm sorry," you whispered, ashamed of yourself. You didn't want your husband to think you were dirty or easy like any harlot.

"Oh God, what are you sorry for?" Buck seemed to be excited, though. He leaned in even closer and placed another kiss upon your lips, more heated this time. His hair was a mess now from all your tugging, his locks were falling on his forehead and tickling your face. "You have absolutely no idea how crazy you make me, baby," he whispered between one passionte kiss and another.

His big hands dropped from your waist to tug on the hems of your dress and apron. He lifted them up as much as he could as his fingers started to roam all over your stockings and the naked skin of your thighs where the straps of your stockings were. You wanted him to touch you between your legs so badly but you didn't want to say it out loud.

"You have to ask for it, baby," he teased, knowing your desires perfectly well, and you could feel your cheeks burning from embarrassment. "Be a good girl and ask for it, come on," he encouraged you.

"P-please…" you breathed out but he wasn't satisfied.

"Please? You're asking for something. Tell me what it is," he mocked you as his fingertips circled upon the hot, naked skin of your inner thigh.

"I want you to touch me."

"I am touching you, darling," he smirked and you bit on your lower lip. Why did he want you to say this out loud? Wives shouldn't say such things.

"I want you to touch me between my legs," you whispered, almost inaudibly.

"Louder," Buck commanded. He gave you a very intense and serious look that scared you a little but it also motivated you to obey him.

"Touch me between my legs. I need you there," you dared to say out loud.

"Wasn't that difficult, was it, sweet baby?" he cooed to you and you gasped at the feeling of his fingers on your wet panties. He laughed softly. "So wet already?"

"I'm sorry."

"Stop saying you're sorry. What are you sorry for?" he grabbed your cheeks with his free hand and made you look into his eyes. "The only thing you should be sorry about is how crazy you drive me."

You nodded, unsurely, and when he saw that you no longer fight him about it, he stopped squeezing your cheeks and put his long fingers inside your mouth instead. You were surprised at that but you quickly understood what he expected from you. You started to suck on them while staring intensly and lustfully into his bright blue eyes.

"God, you're a sight," he moaned and his fingers got inside your panties to rub on your heated center. Feeling his rough fingertips on your clit made a shiver run down your spine as you jumped a little on the counter. He chuckled and took his hand away. "Taste it," he removed his fingers from your mouth and placed his other hand in front of your mouth. You winced a little at the sight of how wet his fingers were, coated with your juices. "I want you to taste how sweet you are," he insisted and you opened your mouth unsurely. But the moment he put his fingers inside, you started to suck them clean. You wanted to obey your husband.

Buck's free hand focused on tearing your panties and leaving them in shreds on the floor. He had never done that before but you very much enjoyed how hungry he seemed to be for you.

"And?" he asked teasingly after removing his fingers from your mouth and wiping the drool from the corners of your mouth.

"Sweet," you agreed with him because he wouldn't accept any other answer anyway.

"Damn you are," he nodded before grabbing your hips again and pulling you closer to get better access to you. Your center was pressed to his crotch and you could feel that his trousers seemed to be too tight.

You let your hands wander to his belt to undo it while kissing him as your foreheads were pressed to each other's. The kisses were sloppy and nearly desperate as if you needed him more than air to breathe.

"Let me," Buck moved your hands away to work on his belt and you grabbed his arms instead to keep yourself steady and hold him close. Not long after you felt him between your legs, rubbing the tip on your wet and swollen clit. "Baby?" he asked to make sure.

"Go on," you nodded and dug your nails into the sleeves of his shirt at the feeling of him sliding inside. It made your eyes roll to the back of your head.

"You're such a doll," he whispered before hiding his face in the crook of your neck to suck on your sensitive skin and make you moan. Usually you tried to be quiet but it seemed like he wanted to hear you because every time you tried to keep it on the low, he would suck and tease more with his tongue, making it impossible to stay quiet. Your sounds were like a symphony to him and he wanted you to finally realize that.

"Oh, Buck," you sighed as his hips started to thrust faster. You felt him so deep that your eyes filled with tears. It was a sweet mixture of pleasure and pain that you never wanted to stop. However, your body twitched slightly as if it tried to get away from the intense, overwhelming feeling.

"Stay still when I'm trying to put a baby in you, will ya?" Buck growled into your neck and it made you feel dizzy. Your fingers dug even deeper as your back arched to feel him at a different angle. It soon became too much to handle and you felt the knot forming in your stomach. Having Buck's baby would only make you happier and even more fulfilled as his wife. It would be a dream come true to carry his son or daughter and let everyone know you were his wife. You wanted it more than anything else.

You came with a loud moan while tugging on Buck's hair. You squeezed him so tight that he came shortly after. His hips thrusted chaotically and you felt him biting your neck to muffle his own moan as your womb filled with his warm seed. You loved that feeling. It was making you feel like you were his more than anything else.

Now when the heated moment was over, you felt a bit awkward with what had just happened. You were the first one to move away carefully and fixed your hair. Buck watched you while breathing heavily with his hair ruffled and forehead covered with sweat. He put his trousers back on and worked on his belt as you tried to jump off the counter but you almost fell down in the process because your legs shaked so much. Buck caught you swiftly.

"Be careful, baby," he pulled you close to hug you and placed a kiss on your forehead.

"I need to make dinner," you explained.

"No, you don't," he shook his head. "Get dressed and we'll go to town."

"Really? I don't have to cook?" you asked, surprised.

"No. And, in fact, I think we should be going out to eat every Friday. I don't want you to spend every day in the kitchen, sweetheart," Buck rubbed your back.

"But… But I'm your wife," you tried to protest.

"Exactly," he nodded and lifted your chin up, "and I'm your husband and it's my goddamn job to look after you. And the baby," he winked.

Cross Guild Angst

🦅🗡️🤡✨🚬🐊

Currently stuck in bed due to a bad cold (clogged up nose and skull splitting headache), and just going through my old playlists.

Listening to a male cover version of Charlotte Lawrence's "Joke's on You" and my mind immediately came up with a Cross Guild Polycule angst scenario where Croc and Mihawk did/said something that triggered the clown's insecurities real bad and deeply hurt Buggy. So bad that it left the clown feeling like their whole relationship is a lie and that it's all just a big joke at his expense 😢🤡.

Que Buggy's heartbreak and quiet resignation that nobody will ever want or truly love him for him. He bottles up all his emotions and turmoil, and just accepts that reality.

So, slowly and steadily, Buggy starts pulling away from the both of them emotionally while acting like nothing has changed, so that when the shoe comes down and his so called lovers come clean about the whole situation, how they only needed something to entertain themselves with, like toying with him and his emotions, the fallout wouldn't hurt him as much as they think it will.

Basically Buggy going all, "Haha! How silly of me! No one could ever possibly want me! I'm a cowardly failure and a hack with no redeeming qualities! It was real dumb of me to ever consider these two powerful and handsome men would even consider loving me! lmfao!... It's okay though!... I just should have seen it sooner... Silly me lol..." 🤡😅😂🤣😄😌🥲😢💔💔💔

Unbeknownst to the Star Clown, Crocodile and Hawk Eyes have slowly started to notice that something was up with their clown. Their interactions were getting colder, his smile doesn't quite reach his eyes anymore, he stopped bothering them at all but, when he does it's strictly for business, his expressive eyes have lost that warm sparkle that he had for them and worst of all, any private time they have with him seems almost... detached, in some way (no devil fruit pun intended).

When they ask (confront) him about it, the clown just laughs it off like it's some hilarious inside joke between the three of them. They brush it off as Buggy being dramatic and everything just carries on like nothing happened.

They don't realize until it literal months later that what they did/said caused him so much grief that his insecurities flared up so bad that he started believing that they never did love him in the first place. That they were that cruel to use him like that.

By then, Buggy had quietly moved all his stuff back into his private tent and had stopped sleeping with them altogether.

He was still Buggy the Star Clown. Loud, flamboyant and overly flashy Emperor of the Sea... but he wasn't their Buggy anymore.

All in all, I just wanna see those two goons unknowingly fumble the bag and have a total "Oh, shit!" moment and scramble to get their heartbroken clown back.

[in1-nutshell]

Hi again, I’m here to spread the propaganda of every maximal being a dad lol 😂

Now I request Dinobot as a dad. It would be cute if the sparkling turned into a little bird.

Dinobot would take a lot of time warming up to the kid but I think if megatron ever took the sparkling captive Dinobot would go apeshit.

Yes! Spreading the Maximal Dad's everywhere! Hahaha! I had fun making little bird Buddy with Dinobot.

Hope you enjoy!

Dinobot finding an abandoned sparkling

SFW, familial, platonic, mentions of kidnapping but happy twist, Cybertronian/ Bot reader

Beast Wars

The sparklings beast mode is a canary.

Dinobot has a complicated history.

From being one of Megatron’s top soldiers of the Predacon’s; having to defect to the Maximals; from trying to get along with the team; living up to his warrior’s code of honor; and narrowly escaping death (Just ignoring canon here. Don’t mind me.)

He has his work cut out for him.

“Hey, watch where you’re going Scale belly.”--rattrap

“I would if I saw were you were Vermin.”--Dinobot

“Oh, yeah what about my height? You want to go Chomperface?!”--Rattrap

“Meet me outside in 20 minutes. We will settle it then.”--Dinobot

“…Its literally 3 am. Why are either of you up?”--Cheetor

“We could be asking the same thing to you kid? Go back to bed.”--Rattrap

“But—”--Cheetor

“Go to bed!”—Rattrap and Dinobot

He honestly thinks he has peaked in the weird things that have happened.

Let’s change that with story time.

It was chaos on the battlefield.

It was an interlock shooting battle between the Maximals and the Predacons over the newest pod that had just crashed down.

Dinobot and Rattrap were the closest to the pod hiding behind a rock. They were running out of time and ammunition. The pod had just finished scanning for a life form and the pod’s door was stuck. The bot inside couldn’t get out even if they wanted to.

“I’m going in.”--Dinobot

“Say what?”--Rattrap

“Cover me!”--Dinobot

“Dinobot!”--Rattrap

Dinobot starts sprinting towards the pod while Rattrap was doing his best to keep him covered. The rest of the team soon followed suit. Dinobot yanks the pods door clean off its hinges and grabbed the bot body close to his chassis as he turns to run back. He makes it back to the rock and shields the bot with his body.

“Don’t let the traitor escape!”--Megatron

“Hey Megamouth! Try this on for size!”--Rattrap

“Grenade! Grenade!”--Terrorsaur

“Take cover!”--Waspinator

Rattrap manages to throw a grenade at the Predacons which causes them to retreat. As the smoke clears, Dinobot still has the bot close to his chassis waiting for the sounds of blasters to stop. Then he hears the sound, a sound that he hadn’t heard in eons.

A sparkling chirp.

He quickly looked down and sure enough in his arms was a sparkling. This sparkling was smaller than the average sparkling.

They had a beast mode that honestly made a little difference in their size.

They were still so small.

The sparkling ended up nuzzling themselves further into Dinobots chassis.

Happy chirping noises

“…”—Dinobot and Rattrap

“Don’t you dare.”--Dinobot

“Hey everyone!—”--Rattrap

“Rattrap!”--Dinobot

Oh boy…

Dinobot didn’t want this.

The next few days Dinobot is trying to do his regular duties without being seen by the sparkling. The sparkling, if they found him, would make a beeline into his chassis and start cuddling. His teammates found this funny as Dinobot would try and get out of the sparklings grip, but they would always come back.

“…Coast is clear…”--Dinobot

“Hey there Dinodip.”--Rattrap

“…”--Dinobot

“…”--Rattrap

“…Don’t—”--Dinobot

“Hey Buddy, Dinobot’s here!”--Rattrap

“You insolent rodent!”--Dinobot

Chirpping getting louder.

The sparkling was an energetic induvial that had a terrible habit of getting into bad situations. And it wasn’t like the sparkling was looking for it either.

“So why are we here again?”--Blackarachnia

“It’s a team meeting.”--Silverbolt

“What is it about?”--Tigatron

“It’s about Buddy.”--Airazor

“What about them?”--Dinobot

“Have you notice that they manage to attract a lot of bad things?”--Rattrap

“Oh, I get what you mean.”--Cheetor

“What you lost me. What things?”--Rhinox

“Just the other day I had to save the kid from a falling beam.”--Optimus

“I just checked those things a few days ago.”--Rattrap

“We went outside and Buddy nearly got attack by two snakes, several big fish and a rabbit. How does a mere rabbit attack Buddy?”--Dinobot

“Yeah, maybe we need to see into this.”--Silverbolt

“Wait has anyone seen Buddy?”--Dinobot

Giggling noises

“Oh scrap!”--Rattrap

They kept everyone on the team on edge whenever they went somewhere alone.

Dinobot didn’t care though.

He didn’t care that this little creature gave him spark attacks every time they were in danger. He didn’t care that they got hurt doing the simplest things. He surely wasn’t teaching them some self-defense techniques. He definitely doesn’t freak out when he hasn’t heard their annoyingly cute chirping sound—

Oh…oh…

No, no, no, no, no, he doesn’t care about that pesky little sparkling. Dinobot tries to keep his distance even more after this realization is made. He makes it clear that he doesn’t care to the rest of the team as soon as the parent jokes are made.

He doesn’t know that Buddy was making their way past the room. They only see an angry Dinobot, they think about some flowers they saw earlier. That for sure would cheer him up! So, they mosey on over to the entrance of the base and are on their way to go get the flowers.

It takes a couple of minutes for Dinobot to realize that things are too quiet.

“Where’s Buddy?”--Dinobot

“Oh, they’re right—”--Cheetor

“They’re gone again!”--Rattrap

“Fan out and watch your step!”—Optimus

Now everyone is looking around for any sign of Buddy.

Then they get the call.

The Predacons had Buddy.

“Maximal scum. If you ever want to see your precious bird again then come to the base without your arms. Maybe a negotiation can be reached? Yess.”--Megatron

“Megatron, once I get my servos on you I am going to shove my sword up—”--Dinobot

“Enough. Now come over, if you ever want to see your precious bird again. Yesss.”—Megatron

Everyone is ready to get Buddy back. Dinobot is out for blood, they manage a plan, and they are ready to execute it.

For Buddy.

The Maximals are halfway to the base when they hear a familiar buzzing sound and chirping.

Dinobot is leading everyone.

They remove the thick bush when they find a peculiar scene.

It was Waspinator and Buddy. And it looked like Waspinator was… teaching Buddy how to fly?

“Yes, little bird bot is doing it!”--Waspinator

Happy chirping

Buddy looked at their family and happily chirped and went for Dinobot. For once reciprocated the hug.

“Where is Megatron?!”--Dinobot

“He’zz not here. Only Wazzpinator and little bird bot.”--Waspinator

“What?”--Dinobot

“Megatron wazz going to bring little bird bot to mean Spider bot. Bad things… Wazzpinator didn’t want new friend to get hurt.”--Waspinator

“You… saved them?”--Dinobot

“Yezz. Wazzpinator save little bird bot and want to be Maximal like Lizard bot.”--Waspinator

Dinobot contemplates this as he looks over Buddy seeing no harm was done.

So they all returned with a sleeping Buddy and newly formed Maximal Waspinator.

what i do find interesting do u think compatability is solely based on astro charts or just energies between us and them? bc i did a request from someone else for sannie whos my main bias and it made me a little sad bc we would be too complex as we are both water signs, so i got what they mean

yet with hongjoong itd be compatible in a less romantic sense and tbh im no that fussed abt romance lol. out of ateez i always get compatability with yeosang and mingi whom i both love as well obvi, but its literally always those two bahahahaha for skz i either seem to get lee know or hyunjin, how about yourself? who are you most compatible with?

Sometimes we have to dig deeper on charts like being water - water or fire - fire isnt always enough . There are many aspects called trine , sextile, square etc2 and u know what even if the chart has many compatible indicators between two people , one bad aspect in the chart can literally be the reason for hating eachother or smthing bizzare in the relationship. So i think energies from real life interaction is needed + we need to look at the chart too ( so we can avoid them if they have bad aspects) . I wont tell u to fully depend on the chart bcoz we never know how energies might play out in real life.

I just got to know ateez recently so i m mingling around😂 but seonghwa and yeonsang got my eye tbh seonghwa is so mysteriously beautiful he is like a sparkling black diamond in terms of visuals in my eye and yeonsang is soo cute omg🫶🏻😂 and he seems like a cute baby but sis his voice is - 🖤👺. I m sure my opinions will change too in near future bcoz even in skz i wasnt able to choose between bangchan and lee know and one tarot reader told me i will pair nicely with Han and when i started finding out more about han , i became more attracted to him 🥲 idk , these men are literally magic .. idk what they even eat or drink to be this seductive🥲

[clotpolesonly]

Ooh okay for the unusual fic ask thing, what about either Perspective Flip or Time After Time for Ask Nicely? That fic lives rent free in my head tbh

Ask Nicely

oh this will be fun, let's give you BOTH!! a little future scene (and by future i mean like probably 3 days later lol) from outsider POV 😂

Elyan was almost finished with his stats assignment. Gwen would probably call it late already, but the class didn't start for another four minutes. He had plenty of time! If he could just get through this one last problem set...

His hasty scribbling was interrupted by a sudden spike in noise around him. Even Leon left off his dramatic retelling of last night's footie match that literally all of them had also been there for in favor of letting out a noise of surprise. One more equation to go and Elyan couldn't resist the curiosity.

He looked up to find everyone's eyes on the classroom door. It took him a moment to parse who exactly was leaning in it, but when he finally did, he dropped his pencil.

"When did Merlin get fit?"

Elyan, like all the rest of them, had known Merlin at least in passing for three years now. He was a nice guy, very smart and studious. Taller than he looked; he had a tendency toward slouching. He snorted when he laughed. He was always happy to lend out the pens he carried around in his well-protected shirt pocket.

The shirt he was wearing now had no pocket at all, nor was it baggy or oversized like Merlin's shirts often were. No, now he was in a purple henley that fit him like a fucking glove, buttons at the collar undone to show off a glimpse of dark chest hair. His jeans, too, actually fit him properly and, when Merlin pushed off the door jamb and strolled across the front of the room, showed off assets Elyan had had no idea Merlin possessed. For once, he wasn't wearing a scarf.

Beside him, Gwaine snorted. "Merlin's always been fit," he said, leaning back in his chair with his hands behind his head. "I knew that."

Percival flicked him in the back of the head. Before Gwaine could retaliate, Merlin drew level with them. He gave them a familiar smile and wave, but he didn't stop until he'd reached Arthur, a few seats down the row.

Elyan had definitely missed something. It wasn't uncommon for him to miss things, and no one ever seemed to feel the need to fill him in on big important things that he missed. Sometimes he didn't notice, and no one noticed that he hadn't noticed, and it was weeks before he got clued in.

But there was no missing the look on Arthur's face. Wide eyes, mouth open, pencil dangling from suddenly limp fingers. He looked up at Merlin like he had never seen a sight so stunning -- which was a little much, honestly, considering all that had changed was Merlin's clothes.

Well, Elyan thought, giving Merlin another look-over. There was definitely something a little different in his mannerism too. It wasn't that Merlin was meek or anything. He'd never exactly been a wallflower, and he had never shied away from drawing attention to himself. But there was an easy kind of confidence to him now that Elyan had never seen before. He couldn't imagine the Merlin of last week planting a hand on Arthur Pendragon's desk and leaning over him, head cocked to one side and a smirk on his face, as Arthur gazed up at him with fucking sparkle hearts in his eyes.

Without a word, Merlin held up a rectangle of plastic between two fingers of his free hand -- his well-used pocket protector. He held it out and waited, expectant. After a long moment of significant-feeling eye-contact, a grin bloomed on Arthur's face. He reached out and took it.

As soon as the offending accessory had left his hand, Merlin took hold of Arthur instead, now-free hand cupping the back of his head and pulling him forward. The kiss that followed sent the entire classroom into something of an uproar. Elyan's poor stats homework lay completely forgotten as he repeatedly thumped Gwaine in the arm.

"When the hell did this happen?" he demanded. "What -- Why -- ??"

Gwaine leaned over, smug as anything, and whispered back, "Merlin's hung like a horse."

As much as Elyan had not needed that information, it did provide some context for the dreamy, spaced-out look on Arthur's face when Merlin finally allowed him to breathe again. Leon looked like he wanted to phase out of existence and recede to the astral plane to escape witnessing this interaction. Elyan did not blame him. This was far more than he wanted to know about his mates' sex lives, but there was also a brightness to Arthur's smile that spoke of genuine delight. He'd never seen Arthur look this smitten by any of the other people he'd dated.

As Merlin took the seat on Arthur's other side, his foot immediately hooking around Arthur's ankle like he was holding him in place, Elyan leaned back toward Percival.

"What do you think?"

Percival was squinted at them consideringly. Though often mistaken for a himbo, Percival was perceptive as fuck and had an uncanny knack for predicting other people's relationship trajectories. He had predicted Gwaine's last girlfriend being unfaithful from the day they'd met, and he had taken one look at Elyan himself their first year and just known that he wasn't inclined toward relationships at all. It was downright scary sometimes, his instinct, but they'd all learned to trust it.

It took him a while to size up Merlin and Arthur, watching the way they leaned toward each other, the push and pull of their bickering, how their eyes were always drawn inevitably back to each other. Eventually, he nodded with finality.

"Set the wedding date, mates. These two are gonna last."

more thoughts on tales of graces~

i forgot that there's a brief in-game challenge of running from the Fendelian tanks to lure them to the hill, but it became hilariously easy since one of the perks i added to my new game+ was increased field running speed 😅 i literally ran in circles around them for a minute before my hubris eventually caught up. (i should have mentioned the speed-up thing before, it was frankly startling when i started the new file and kid!asbel was zipping around at unnatural speeds like something out of a horror movie 😂)

sopheria seeds are MASSIVE, they're like the size of the flower! o_O i thought they reproduced by turning into sparkles and flying across the world?? do they produce seeds after that???

the npc kid who was down bad for Hubert STILL talks about him 7 years later. i respect her commitment for not moving on to someone more available. maybe she's a gold digger lol (Anise who?)

meanwhile dudebro friend here is the Larry Butz of this game:

i like that one of Asbel's artes is called Concussive Bolt. he went to knight school to learn the subtle arte of BONK

⬇ I know what Asbel means here considering he hasn't been back since he was a kid, but he was also living in a dorm for 7 years, how does his room seem small:

Further observations of the duality of NPCs 😂:

it's a little strange to me that the royal army doesn't think it can lend support to Lhant due to the feudal system of independent states. like i'm far from an expert on feudal monarchies but i think Lhant still pays like a tithe to the king so wouldn't losing that land to a foreign country only hurt the monarchy in general? I can understand not taking sides if it was two different states of Windor in-fighting but this is literally a foreign invasion, they'd be losing valuable land, money, and resources. Lhant may be small but it has two seaside ports, ample farmland, and a cryas mine apparently (the lore mentions this multiple times. why don't you ever go there in the game? 🤔) this NPC backs me up though:

my favorite pathetic drenched meow-meow:

⬇ why. why is this plot point of a potential traitor in Lhant never addressed. was it an idea that was scrapped later and has traces left in the script or was it never meant to be a thing and i'm just reading way too much into it 😅 either way, i ended up running with the idea in my own fic so yayyyy free angst 💜

⬇ Hubert is SUCH a bitch during this part 😂 also he's projecting so hard, I don't recall kid Asbel ever running from a fight. and WHO'S being prideful now??

If you can believe it, my current long fic draft of the Asbel-gets-kicked-out-of-his-own-house sequence is actually LESS angsty than canon 😅

i am NOT skilled enough at this battle system to beat Hubert in combat. Sorry Asbel, I tried 😅

[nancydfan]

can I just say Ethan glowing/ surrounded by light through most of SoR is a look which I love and glad was put in (side note glad we didn't see his face because what if they decided to not make his eyes glow like they did with Rose?)

I absolutely ADORE that Ethan is all sparkly and glowing. It reminds me of Village of Shadows where you had all of the gold contrast the darker colors and ofc Rose’s flasks were gold/yellow. And I think again because Ethan is good. This is why his powers manifested in such a way. Capcom will tell me I’m wrong but I’m going to hold onto it anyway. 😆

Obviously I wanted to see his face (how else am I supposed to get him into dead by daylight at this point! 😭😭) but what Capcom doesn’t show cant hurt us right? Lol it’s actually why I no longer want Ethan to really return cause I’m satisfied with him being alive and returning in my mind one day once Rose figures it out.

BUT like let’s just imagine what he’d look like fully. His eyes absolutely are going to be glowing. Ole yellow eyes? Ahaha jk he’s not a demon. Unless you’re Miranda than yeah he is. But I just also love the idea of it surrounding him as he uses it. I’m NGL I really wish we had gotten a father daughter fight scene cause that would have been so cool! But I also like that finally someone saved Ethan because it’s about damn time.

I’m rambling aren’t I? I just woke up 😆 anyway I really do love Ethan’s power aesthetic. And I can’t wait for him to drive literally everyone up the wall when he makes the same joke about his sparkling personality a million times 😂

[eviltiddyproductions]

Vincenzo : Episode 5

5 episodes in I find out this show is from Studio Dragon

where will they take my emotions this time

Chayoung in a braid ahhh my sweet little babe! let me give you a forehead kiss

she’s so cute. take that hug bae 🥹

I love the apprentice <3 adore him. just went ‘👍’ 😆

not the intern murder era omg i really really thought it was going to be someone else. why were people shocked that he died 😟

the little English phrases suddenly sound so menacing 😭 how many times has he almost killed this fake CEO. fake CEO just leave like why…. is any money worth getting beaten up or choked to death on a monthly basis

help not Vincenzo helping the fake CEO

build some muscles bae you’re going to need them 😟 why would you take water from a stranger

lmao they’re both being adorable 😂😭 I would curse the fake CEO but he’s the only one getting a beating every 2 episodes 💀

Cha young get away from this man 🙏 damn he got all that from one call lmao

how do you have so much confidence in your skills and can’t find a photo of him 😭 he literally held a gala last week!

well this man got caught pretty quick lol

if you’re going to offer her tea might as well accidentally slip while you’re serving

lmaooo the stars sparkling on her white coat during the presentation. the apprentice is my third favourite person on this show

kinda sad how everything they’re saying here about the vicious circle reminds me of how Samsung covered up something similar years back using this circle but is still always front and centre everywhere in shows and movies

those threats are working with this lawyer. they just got here though? 🤨

what did the fake ceo do to get in this position like….

lmao she likes ketchup, he hates it

eating a hot dog with a white jacket, my girl is the bravest

for a second I thought she was the perjury lawyer they were talking about because she’s bribed people before but it was her dad oh lord, Babel, you will crumble !!!

he’s helping her, I guess she doesn’t get to hit him on the forehead anymore

oh no isn’t that the monk’s friend !?!!

sign the waiver or no ambulance… they’re so

one thing Vincenzo ensures is to fight people every other episode and Toto gets paid for his food

it’s so bizarre to think he’s the one who got robbed in the first episode 🤣

you do not need to get this close or remove your coat to flick her in the head but slay 😏

I knew he’d do the lightest tap, awww

it’s kinda funny how he was dragging the fake ceo for bullying his workers with spice tolerance and now he’s in a scoville battle with Vince (who got so agitated by this too like ??? so random 😭)

my sister almost murdering both of them with the spice

I thought they ended in the emergency ward with the spice but it’s the monk looking for his friend 💔

I’ve seen this doctor before in some show!

to gaslight a victim’s family for your own monetary gains….. Hell needs to happen in present for people like that. and being a doctor too! like what are we doing here. what is your job description

my good sister the intern is going to bury you

the main monk woke up too!

Vincenzo giggling as she says hi to people I see you bae !

the lawyer lady is about to eat them alive 😭🙏

they’ve had a good few days I know they’re about to have their lives upended noooo

the building going all out for them :(

is that a sports car to court they are so UNSERIOUS 😭

lmaooo I guess our real CEO fake intern really does like her (sister save yourself from his wrath 🙏)

the Italian is so unserious 🤣

the building people are here !!!

you must contemporary dance for your life

[hijirikaww]

Ooooh now you're *really* onto something there (you have a really nice way with words btw??) - myu's ice + masa's water + kira's dark energy = the coolest combo!!! They'd have such an elegant mysterious vibe to them....I SO want to see this now!! Aww you're right and I *so* want to see them having a tea party, bless (just don't tell natsuki okay?)

THE HORSEBACK AND THE SWORDS THOUGH?? Absolute peak, your brain is 👌👌 magnificent. Going back a bit here but the way I Need to see Camus doing Hwa's wonderland symphony part....the grand sword gestures......it was made for him 😭

With how much Camus suffers around quartet night, I think he'd appreciate the moment of peace Masato & Kira could offer 😂

On a different tangent here: do you think Sannie & Cecil would get along? Since San loves cats and he's basically an irl cat too.....him & Cecil = same wavelength maybe? 😆

Okay but you're so right, it's impossible to bias one member of the demon line & not stan the rest too!! Sanhwa are especially powerful when they're together 😵‍💫 Ateez as a whole are incredible performers, I'm actually a stay but Ateez quickly became my second ults, I couldnt resist them 😭 Do you stan other groups btw? 👀

I'm sorry but I actually don't know that video 😭 but I'll look for it!!!! But gosh, hwa in a wig.....I'm immediately thinking like, do you know when lee know from stray kids wore the long wig? I'm seeing the vision here....hwa with long blonde hair please we need it 😭😭 can you imagine him doing a dramatic hair flip??

The way I saw mamma and instantly thought you were talking about hwa (the mom vibes y'know??) 😂 I love your thoughts please keep them coming 👌✨✨

Okay ahem so AAAAAA while reading this ask I went through so many emotions and became so happy ok?? I need a minute to gather myself back together lol.

Firstly thank you so much for the compliment - this is literally the unfiltered flow of my brain through a keyboard sksjdjsjs but most importantly, I really LOVE rambling with you about this!! Thank YOU for that!!

Dear Broccoli, when do we get this trio plz?

And god forbid Natsuki finds the tea party (something tells me his natural chaos would manage to do it somehow)!!! He would literally crash it with happiness and enthusiasm and sparkles and rainbows and honestly? Chances are he had just been carrying a batch of self-baked cookies that he just HAS TO SHARE.... let's just say they switch locations after that event, and remain ever vigilant..

Literally the next week Natsuki would have probably appeared again this time with an entire angry-cat-Syo to join the party.

Actually, something tells me Kira would develop a Natsuki sensor. Like, without a word he would get up and walk off to like a back room and leave Masa and Myu (gotta rant about this in a sec hold up) in their confusion before they look out the window and see Natsuki round a corner 5 seconds later and just KNOW he KNOWS. From then on they use the Kira detector as a safety feature, it is very reliable :)

SO MYU. I FORGOT ABOUT THAT NICKNAME, *THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT BACK TO MY ATTENTION*!!!

Like I love Moose passionately, but Myu is so endearing!!! 🥺 precious ice prince mode activated 💙

Ps.. I love how tall he is??? People do not appreciate that enough about this man me thinks. What are your thoughts on that matter?

//I love how every one of these gets longer than the last lol this is so wonderful ~♡

Okay so... I HATE how on point you are about San and Cecil. This should not be allowed. Omg. They would seriously be great buds. They would tune into each other's unique aloofness and work so well. I feel like they wouldn't like, be joined at the hip (like Woo likes to do hahaha) but - much like a real cat-human relationship - be super happy and close with each other when they see each other every so often? Like they are comfortable with the little breaks in between but whenever they are spending time together they are the bestest of buds.

.....

Sanhwa is the absolute BEST.

That is all I've got on that. No words needed. Amazeballs. Mind blowing. Holy floof.

.....

I THINK I remember seeing LK in a wig?.. Not entirely certain if my mind maybe made it up though. Was it Halloween costume related by any chance? Bet he looked stunning. Is he your bias in Skz? Owo

I am soooorrt of a multi stan?? Like I really stan ATEEZ way above all, I don't super follow other groups with every single release etc. But I do know a lot of other groups and listen to soooooooooo many different groups I can't keep track :)

Skz is perhaps the group I know the second best?????? Me thinks?? Might be shared with Enhypen. Anyway, 3racha is the bomb. They are all super talented and badass too. My wholehearted approval. The other day I actually learned the 143 challenge!!! It is so fun to do!! :D

Anyways, speaking of boys in wigs, boys with LONG HAIR THO. I sure love those ;)

.. Camus totally gets that right 👌🏻💯🌠

Even mullets! It is really unbelievable just how fabulous boys can be :)

Btw this is the video I was talking about! Very funny and worth watching haha~

I 100% approve of the mom Hwa vibes because really? Does it get any more wholesome than that? He is a blessing to this world seriously. So sweet, so caring and kind :)

Speaking of all these mammas, made me think of Mama - like the show each year - BOY DID YOU SEE THEM KILLING IT WITH THOSE STAGES!?!?!?! THE SECOND YEAR!?!? HWAS OUTFIT???? (EVERYONE'S OUTFIT?!?!?!?!?)

Omg. Like, they sure let out the demons in that one. Beautiful work of art that stage is from front to back, I'm still so blown away by it.

SINCE I CAN MAKE THIS POST EVEN LONGER:

Did you follow Kingdom???? Skz and TEEZ slayed so hard. Tbh all groups did tho. Amazing content. Blown away.

Special mentions go to WOLF cover with their mixed members (and Peniel slaying) was so good. Can still not believe there is such awesome content out there just like that.

Hope your day is going well, you sure are improving mine! Sending happiness your way! ~☆

[bisluthq]

Also Taylor isn’t like ‘you came into my life without invitation’, because you’re right it takes two to tango and she was genuine in her feelings for him. So she’s saying why did you let it turn into something romantic again and say I was the love of your life a million times? Why were you moving my ring and talking rings and cradles? Why did you let me go out in public with you and get pummelled for your sins against everyone telling me different? Why did you have an emotional affair with me and convince me you could give me everything Joe couldn’t and let me put the last vestiges of my emotional hope for that onto you instead? Why did you do all of that, and then fucking GHOST me after 6 weeks with no explanation? Like that’s what ‘rusting my sparkling was the goal’ or ‘were you sent by someone who wanted me dead’ is about. Like it’s not a ‘you definitely planned this all along and I was just prey to you’, but it’s the moment of feeling that and being forced to think the worst because of him because of how bad he fucked up. She literally just doesn’t know. Idk of course he has his side but I think Taylor represented him in both good and bad ways and have him complexity. She also says in down bad, in a different post-ghosting psychological moment, that she wants him to come back and pick her up. So you’re right he really doesn’t have a leg to stand on touting that story around trying to like ‘discredit’ Taylor’s telling of it.

yeahhh lol like I do think it’s what he believes but fundamentally bestie Matthew no one forced u to open your big yapper and say a bunch of shit and no one tripped you on the way to her bed and CERTAINLY no one forced you to go public with her so like 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😭💀

when i say i am stunned i mean i am shaken to my core!!!!?!!!!?!! it's been almost a week since i read this and i only sorta have concrete thoughts. prince of lust is not uncomfortable simply because it's smut. the premise is priest regrets his vows so he summons asmodeus, which is funny. not 100% sure on the time period but you can't be this down bad 😭 but the actual story is guy is literally beaten as a child (not described in detail) because he said an older boy was beautiful which led him to eventually try hiding in the church & he's now in his mid 30s. whole time i'm reading this like

and then to perform the ritual he has to draw a pentagram and cut his palm. the amount of will it took to not roll my eyes was astronomical but it was also kinda funny so 🤷🏾‍♀️ and i'll just leave it there.

then when asmodeus shows up he basically beats this poor man & i am questioning the choices that led me here 😂 but also he's a demon....not a sparkling example of, well anything. when the young priest interrupted i low-key panicked

this young man is doomed lol but instead (somehow) this 20 something year old walked in on a guy getting dry humped by a demon & did some mental gymnastics that would qualify for the Olympics.

and managed to walk away from it!

and here i'm thinking hmm that was short. like the clown i am.

if you don't like mentions of blood just don't pick this novella up. there's more than a little bit considering no one dies. pretty much every time don alessandro gets touched he ends up bleeding 😶 i don't understand?? not why he's being cut, claws duh. but he summons asmodeus twice in one night. you know not following god or demons is an option right???

and the tail. i just 👁️👄👁️ i don't consider myself naive but what dafuq

that's not where that goes!!!

anyway i didn't enjoy reading this one i don't think, but i don't really think it's awful. i just walked into the wrong class that's all.

[formulahs]

It would be really interesting to see what drugovich would be able to do in F1. Would he follow Oscar and Liam's performance or would he be like Logan and Nyck? Wishing him all the best I just wished that AM gave him more chances to practice in the car

i mean i do not trust f1 media dont get me wrong, but thing is i feel intrigued by how the alfa romeo rumor didn’t raise so much as a sparkle compared to this one, plus german media was straight up speculating how much money he would need to get the seat and giving off that super specific mick simulator data info like… idk tho bc vowles has been real defensive over logan

honestly tho there’s no real way to know how he would perform. first of all bc there has been more than a handful of occasions where promising juniors completely flopped in f1, and tbh drugo’s career up until now is interesting bc its either domination or mediocrity (whole lotta variables obvi). i mean he’s no youngster felipe massa who literally won 2 different single-seater renault championships in one year and had jean todt studying him for an entire season then giving him an 8 year ferrari contract, but he’s not half bad either. aston hasn’t let on a lot about his performance, and besides his somewhat debatable value as a driver, there’s the obvious money issue since he’s not a billionaire lol

i honestly think from this current batch of junior drivers the only generational standout is cutsie goody two shoes oscar pastry, but im not sure i fully agree with this “no one is worth picking out, drugo only had weak competitors” talk.. to a certain point yes, it wasnt the pot that brewed charles, george, lando, alex etc etc but then again it isn’t every year that you’re gonna get lucky

in short: i dont know 😂 but i need me some brasil on the grid even if its not max 2.0

[whenwordsmakesense]

For the first sentence + 5 sentence ask: "Um, would you like to, uh," clears throat, "go out on a date with me?" ... "Took you long enough to spit it out." Okay, technically it's two sentences but they come together 😂

Lol, I'll do 2 + 5 sentences then xD

Okay so that didn't happen. But I'm very happy with how this turned out!! I hope you are too.

Call Me a Saint (but all i wanna be called is yours)

[AO3 Link]

"Um, would you like to, uh," Derek clears his throat, "go out on a date with me?"

Stiles stares at the Big, Bad Alpha Werewolf for an uncomfortably long time. His mouth twitches in amusement.

"Stiles?"

"You're a dumbass," Stiles tells Derek fondly, and pulls him in until their noses are touching. Derek doesn't protest the movement, too busy trying to calm his unnecessary nerves. "It took you long enough to spit it out, and you think I'll reject your advances?"

"Advance. Singular." Derek's eyebrows do that thing where they come together in a v, as if making a visible defense against any rebuttal Stiles might throw his way.

Well.

Stiles rubs his and Derek's noses together. "You brought me chocolates last week," he feels himself grin wide as a beautiful blush colors Derek's bearded cheeks, "Last week, Derek. It was Valentine's Day."

Stiles tightens his hold on the Alpha. No, not Alpha—Derek. Just Derek Hale, a man who deserves everything nice, on his own terms.

Stiles pulls Derek in closer, but he keeps his stance loose enough that Derek can refuse to be pulled closer. Derek doesn't.

"I may be an idiot at times," Derek huffs at that, and Stiles pinches Derek on the hips, "At times, not always. Anyways, what I am saying is: I've seen you, Derek. Even when you think no one is looking at you, I have seen you. I care about you," he adds, thinking twice about his choice of words. His love for Derek might be a never-ending rainbow of happiness, but that doesn't necessarily mean he has to say it all even before their first date. "And I know you care about me."

The way Derek looks at him in this moment, all defenses lowered down, his blue-grey-green eyes sparkling with a warmth Stiles has only seen in them the first time Derek held his nephew, is something that would remain in Stiles' memories until he himself is lost to time. And maybe, even, beyond that.

Cora is teaching Camden how to draw, now, and Isaac claims that their son will be an artist when he grows up. Maybe Stiles could commission Camden into making a drawing for him...

"Stiles? Where did you go?"

"Oh, nothing," Stiles just wants to pull Derek closer, even if they're as close as two people can be without forgoing clothes. He smiles, big and bright, but the way his jaw is starting to hurt he thinks he never stopped doing that in the first place. "I was just thinking about the future. Our future..."

Derek chuckles, low and breathy, and his warm breath falls onto Stiles' neck. "You didn't actually answer my question,"

"Oh? And how do you think I should answer it then?"

Derek's hands, which were resting on his back until now, slide down to his hips, and Stiles arches into the touch.

He hasn't gone on a date for years, okay? Don't judge him.

Derek seems to be thinking along the same lines as him, because he says, "You haven't gone on a date in two years. More than that,"

"I didn't date anyone in college."

Derek's voice is filled with awe and a softness that touches Stiles' heart as he figures out, "Stiles. You waited for me. You have been waiting for me for five years,"

"For a while there I didn't know what—or who, exactly, I was waiting for but. Yes. Yes I have. And I don't regret it, okay? I don't."

Derek seems like he's lost for words, so Stiles takes pity on him and leans in close again.

"If I kiss you, would you consider that an answer?"

Derek just nods. It's kind of cute how he's so flustered. Fuck it, it's adorable.

The kiss is chaste, just a literal lip on lip action, but it's theirs and it's perfect.

Derek's voice is breathy and filled with joy as he slowly walks away from Stiles. "Pick you up at seven? Tomorrow. Be ready?"

"Yeah, see you."

Derek grins, his bunny teeth on display, and Stiles doesn't look away until Derek sits in his car and drives away.

When he's sure Derek has safely reached back home, Stiles texts him:

you're a dumbass

Derek's reply comes shortly after, during which time Stiles presumes he must have been washing his hands and legs. It's a habit he's instilled in every single one of the pack, which is honestly a good thing, both so that the humans don't get sick and the houses don't get dirty.

Maybe. But I'm your dumbass.

Stiles seriously needs to stop smiling, or otherwise his face will be stuck like this.

i can't stop smiling, if my face gets stuck like this and yours is already stuck as a scowl, we'd be such an iconic couple!!!

Derek sends back a pic of him scowling. Stiles laughs so hard he falls off his couch. When he catches his breath, he has one more message waiting for him.

If I'm your dumbass, then you're my dumbass too.

Stiles sends back a heart and a kissy face.

His day turned out to be better than he'd thought it would be, and he can't wait for his date with the love of his life.

[jalebi-weds-bluetooth]

Hi JWB, analysis anon here. I have a fun question to ask. What do you think are some of the greatest loopholes in IPK? I can think of one—-Khushi running around every nook and corner of Shantivan every day but never coming across Shyam’s life size portrait in Anjali’s room😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😂😂😂😂 Would love to hear what you find as hilariously absurd. Thanks a bunch and much love❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello Analysis Anon!!!

So lovely to see you after so many days! Oh - I always love fun questions. Legit this is one of my favorite asks of all time, lol.

Greatest (Funny) Loopholes in IPK

1) The disappearing Shyam Photograph

- Khushi never seeing a single photograph of Shyam, especially the huge portrait that conveniently keeps disappearing (maybe Shyam took the heavy frame out every time he knew Khushi was coming - where do you think his biceps came from?)

2) Washroom? Corridor?

- The washroom/corridor in Arnav and Anjali's room. LITERALLY in the first few episodes it was shown as a corridor (why does Arnav have three entry points in his room in the first place; poolside, in room corridor AND a door) and then it becomes a washroom (that too the cheapest washroom in the world). I remember these things.

3) Arnav bitwa’s changing wall deco.

- Lol, some wall deco of Anjali/Nani’s room is left in Arnav's room. Since it's the same set, I could understand the same almirah cause he probs bought all the furniture from the same place (and it's difficult to remove heavy furniture) but did anyone think I wouldn't see a flash of red/gold/orange/sparkle wall deco in a gray and white room... lol

4) India’s cheap security system

- Khushi and Mami's James Bond moment by 'entering' the security footage warehouse. Of India Gandhi International Airport. Like Delhi is the capital of India. And this is their main international airport. That has 24x7 security. And that there won't be any security cameras that would capture these two women - with no training to do such missions - effectively find the exact recording, see it, have a Kyun Dard Hai Itna moment, and go back. It was 2012, not 1990.

Psst, did they just forget India's long standing history of having her flights hijacked led to the toughest security measures around everything to do with flights...

5) Hari Prakash? Hari Prasad? Hari...

- How 2 people played Hari Prakash. Lol. And then poor guy was sometimes called Hari Prasad!

6) Wolverine Khushi.

- She gets hit multiple times on her head, multiple bruises on her hand and there's just no effect. Woman has the recovery of a superhero. Guess there are some benefits being Devi Maiyya's bhakt.

7) The inconsistencies of KKGSR.

- She starts as someone who doesn’t like bursting Diwali crackers because of ethical issues and ends up becoming someone who wants to burst them. Lol.

8) Mrs Disaster Track

- The whole Mrs India track. Be it the visibly cheap production for it (literally one of the ‘art’ on the wall is a thin paper print of designs?), the fake walls, Khushi’s exaggerated makeup, Arnav drowning in gel, the no connection to how things actually run... *sigh* the list is endless. 

9) The non consistent body doubles!

- The body doubles! Ok, IPK uses them in other scenes and it’s not an issue because they’re done well - you can’t spot them! But omg in some scenes I am like, lol, I can SEE it’s not the actors. Hahahaha. In the hut scene Barun was really fit and muscular and his dupe isn’t - so it’s hilarious when they shot the intimate scenes cause on one hand I see Arnav’s really solid shoulders and in the next cut it has all disappeared. Also Khushi has super straight hair and then in the next shot her hairstyle has become fizzy and curly. Also, the best thing, in one shot Sanaya has tiny nails with mehendi on her hands and in the next one we have some woman’s long fingernails - painted bright red - with a sticker mehendi on... umm... I don’t think my suspension of disbelief can last that long!

10) The Raizada's become poor or... not famous

Somehow after the first episode the Raizada name holds no worth. After convincing us that the name is valued like the Mittals, Sabyasachi, Manish Malhotra or Birla... we have people not caring about that name at all. Lol. I find it hilarious that the cops - who usually know everything - don’t budge when Khushi calls herself a Singh Raizada. Or when the airport refuses her.... like you literally had a visa issued for her in 24 hours because she’s a Raizada. Looooool. Also, did Khushi lie her way into a competition - that’s not legally allowed. They need identification. Also, I find it exceedingly funny that the airport and cops didn’t literally call Delhi’s CM into the matter of Arnav Singh Raizada’s wife suspecting he’s kidnapped. Yeah, I legit see the CBI getting involved if a Mittal was kidnapped!

So thanks for this ask - I had A LOT OF FUN making this list!

Lol,

Best,

I've been filling your askbox, but let me fill it up some more - what would ROs do if while bending or squatting down their pants split right on the ass crack area (for fem ROs I'm thinking more along the lines of someone stepping on their dress, and it ripping right on that area too 🤣) in front of MC they were crushing on?

lmao, why you gotta do them like this, anon! 😂 embarrassing

I don’t think anyone would be flashing body parts or anything, as I imagine they have something underneath their dress/pants 🤔It would still be sufficiently humiliating and scandalous though

Isobel:

Would be fuming, and would likely give the person that stepped on her dress a proper dressing down. She would struggle to remain cool and collected, but inside she would be furious, and a little embarrassed. She hates loosing face, particularly in front of someone whose opinion she cares for. Would likely try to reassert some control over the situation and attempt to regain some dignity, by taking charge and demanding someone fetch something for her to cover herself with and fetch her carriage so she can leave. 

Max:

Max would not be super bothered by this, they would likely laugh and play it off with a joke, though they would politely apologise for causing a scene and for scandalising whomever was present, admittedly with a wink and a sparkle in their eyes. Would probably give an exaggerated bow. “I dare say you have seen more than enough of me today, so I shall take my leave.” Then back out of the room. If it was just them and MC present though, they would likely take the opportunity to flirt. No shame in this case. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Clara:

Would be shocked at first, eyes widening comically. “My dress!” She would exclaim, eyes snapping up to the person that stepped on it with a horrified expression. Doesn’t really care about the dress, but I think she would be more embarrassed if MC was male, though she would all around be pretty flustered, trying, and failing, to stop the blush from rising to her face. Would excuse herself stammeringly and exit the room. Might cry a little once she’s alone, feeling humiliated. Once she’s calmed down though, she’ll rationalise that MC wouldn’t think any less of her for this, surely, and would probably be chipper about it once she meets MC again, though it still makes her cringe inside. 

Richard: 

Would literally die lol! He’d be so mortified, his face would flush angrily, and he would quickly excuse himself. Would definitely entertain thoughts of leaving the country and never returning. Probably avoids MC for a long time afterwards, too embarrassed to face them. But would also be annoyed that he’s embarrassed, so eventually he will challenge himself to face his fears and meet MC again. When he does, he’ll act as if nothing ever happened, acting super formal, all the while thinking dear god, please don’t bring it up, please don’t bring it up, have mercy.

William:

Would be super flustered, not knowing quite what to do or where to go. He’s already keenly aware of being a clown compared to MC, and now this? Why did it have to happen when they were around?? The universe must have a cruel sense of humour. His face would turn bright red as he burns with humiliation. “Ah, I uh... think that’s my cue to leave.” He clears his throat. “If you’ll excuse me.” Would likely be very flustered for days afterwards, particularly around MC, finding it difficult to meet their eyes. 

Thank you for your hilarious ask, and thank you for filling up my ask box! ✨You’re the real MVP!
