#i CANNOT wait to see The Boys™️

[electric-plants]

cyno: dating you has been immensely beneficial to me

alhaitham: wow such romantic phrasing. i’m swooning.

cyno: i mean it, you’re very distracting for me so i’ve been improving my focusing skills while trying to keep my mind off of you at work

alhaitham: no one else would find this romantic

cyno: i wasn’t trying to be romantic, i was expressing my sincere appreciation for your impact in improving skills vital to my job

alhaitham: regardless of your intentions, i am, unfortunately, finding this to be extremely romantic

HYUNG LINE MAKNAE LINE

➛ Han

- whiny™️. the word whiny was created for hannie himself. he becomes a sobbing mess after just one second of you touching him, even if it's not sexual;

- dacryphilia will soon become one of your biggest kinks, even if you didn't explore it before meeting him. he cries, pants, sobs and hiccups at every slight friction and will plead to not to stop, ever;

- tears are not the only thing making your boy messy. because he also drools. a lot. he does it when he is on top of you, face hidden in the crook of your neck, and when it's you topping him, cheek pressed into the soaked pillow under his head;

- with hannie you are gonna have multiple rounds almost everytime. he doesn't last too much, poor angel, because he is always overwhelmed with how warm and tight and wet you feel and he just cannot hold himself. he recovers very fast though, and he will happily suck you into his mouth in those few minutes of waiting;

- be prepared, because he is horny 24/7, and gets pussydrunk very quickly. he is up to anything you can give him? handjob before going to work? quickie in the restroom? filthy audios to keep him satiated? he wants it all;

- he has slight perv tendencies. it's consensual of course, and you told him multiple times that you are perfectly fine with everything he does, but he likes to pretend you don't know. the rush of adrenaline he gets by stealing your panties to bring them to work and taking dirty photos of you when you are not looking makes him feel dirty, and he likes it;

- since he cums really quickly and he is very horny all the times, i can see him being into overstimulation. he will beg you to keep circling the palm of your hand on his cockhead until he almost squirms away, and then he will cum for a second time in a few seconds;

- he has a filthy mouth, and he won't shut up under any circumstance. your neighbors probably hate you;

- he likes to be as submissive and yours as possible. he loves being your little toy to play with, and he will often ask you to finger his mouth as if it was his pussy, and to tie him so he cannot move to much and be completely under your control;

- he prefers when you ride him. he loves seeing you ravishing him and milk him dry, but especially because he just can't get enough of your boobs. when you stay on top he can bury his face on them and suckle at your nipples until your chest is all covered in drool;

- kind of obvious but he has a mommy kink/noona kink, and calling you that while you are fucking him makes his brain feel floaty and fuzzed. "Please noona, oh f-fuck, please - ah nnghh - p-please mama, mommy, let me cum, mama - uhh".

- he is into anal play, but for him. hannie will ask you to finger him, fuck him with your strap, rim him and put a plug in his cute wiggly butt at least once a week. he feels like your princess like that, he cannot help it.

➛ Felix

- here we have him, angel boy lixie. the softest, the sweetest, the embodiment of love. just a look at him and you would give him the entire universe;

- just as binnie, i think that also felix would be into cross dressing. he buys all the pink lacey underwear that he can find on the internet, and he pairs them with pleated skirts and high stokings;

- he will also add a few cute ribbons on his hair, and maybe a little bit of make up too. a rosey eyeshadow, shiny highlighter and glossy lipstick, better if sticky. he will let you fuck him without taking anything off, just pull the panties apart and slide his puffy cockhead on your folds until he cums prettily all over himself;

- he loves you so much he almost worships you. whenerver he is intimate with you, you will always find him looking at you fondly, tears almost prickling his eyes. he cannot help it, he just feels so much when you are together that he cannot believe how lucky he is;

- lixie has particular kinks, but he loves every single inch of you, and he will make sure to let you know. i have the feeling he would love feet stuff a little bit more than he wants to admit. especially when you are chilling on the sofa together, and your sole presses too close to his groin. he always feels a little aroused and filthy for the fact he enjoys this kind of stimulation;

- another mommy kink enthusiast here. he loves being cuddled and pampered by you. the nickname falls naturally out of his lips whenever you give him pleasure, and he sounds so innocent while doing it that it becomes an habit also out of the bedroom;

- lixie loves your breasts. he massage them to fall asleep and he suck on them as a comfort whenever he feels a little bit overwhelmed or fuzzy into his headspace. he like to be babied like that, to be lulled in your arms while he suckles softly on your nipples with pouted lips;

- and this led to his lactation kink. he is not ashamed of asking you to pretend to brestfeed him whenever he is stressed out. "b-baby please, gimme your milk, it was an awful day, p-please";

- he will need a lot of physical touch, such as holding hands, hugging and kissing. He loves every position in which he can be as close to you as he can;

- he wants and gives baby talk all the time. every cute nickname is okay for him, but his favorite are love, angel, sweetheart and sugar;

- definively into food play. he will take every chance to play with you while cooking and baking, sweet hiccups while you twirl your tongue on the head of his honey-dripping cock and lap at his sweet balls underneath;

- talks in 3rd person while in subspace. "uh- mommy, a-angel.. lix -uggghn- l-lixie is cumming, oh god, lixie is c-cumming".

➛ Seungmin

- i am a strong believer that seungmin is the hardest sub of all the boys. whenever he is in the bedroom his personality will shift drastically until he becomes a brainless needy thing;

- minnie is always so stoic and composed in real life that he just needs to let go. sex for him is the only way he can empty his head and give you the absolute control of his body;

- that's why he immediately falls into his subspace as soon as you get intimate with each other. he cannot conceive any other way of loving you than to give you complete power over him;

- i can see him being into light humiliation and dumbification. minnie needs to be useful for you and he will do anything to fulfill your desires. he gets off on the feeling of being your toy and your sexual object, and the embarassment he feels whenever you call him your dumb thing makes his head spin;

- for this exact reason, he is into pet play as well. he loves to be reduced as a silly puppy who needs to earn his treats. whenever you make him kneel in front of you to take food directly from your hands, his cock is always red and leaky against his lap. you often let him hump your calf and stop him just before he cums just to see him crying and pleading for you;

- after a few months, he will probably ask you to explore choking on him. you establish a few rules and safe words before you try that, and the way he just mewls while you lightly restrain his breath will convince you to do it more often;

- minnie needs to be owned. he will ask you to give him a tiny collar with your name on it, and he will wear it everywhere, even at work, hidden under his clothes;

- he always follows your orders diligently, but he enjoys his punishments a little bit too much as well. he pretends not to, because he wants to be your good pup, but he cannot hide the way his wet cock almost drools with precum every time your hand slap the soft fat of his butt, or the back of his balls;

- being so utterly in love with you, he will quickly develop a breeding kink. he cannot hold himself whenever he hears your voice tempting him, and he will cum the hardest if you combine it with a little degradation. "is my little pup ready to breed? mmh... i'm not sure. dumb pup is so weak to fill me up with his cum, isn't he? but you can try, puppy, you can try stuffing me full of your babies."

- and, of course, he is the weakest for cum play. especially if you let him lap his own release out of your folds after he emptied his load inside of you;

- another non verbal baby. as soon as you start pleasuring him, he will not be able to form a single sentence anymore. just sighs, sobs, soft moans and mewls;

➛ I.N

- here we go, another sub enthusiast here!! sweet, lovely innie is so happy of being with you that just cannot wait to try everything that he can;

- i can see him being a virgin before meeting you. not because he didn't have the opportunity of experiencing sex with anyone, but because he wanted to wait for his true love and be as confortable as possible;

- that's why he quickly develops a reversed corruption kink. innie wants - no, he needs - you to ruin him for good. he wants to feel little and inexperienced under your gaze. he wants to know that you are there for him, to teach him and guide him until he knows how to pleasure and be pleasured;

- after the first stages, he becomes unsatiable. he will ask for you to fuck him multiple times a day. poor baby will make up for all the time he lost!;

- he wants to try as many sex toys as he can. he will probably buy a bunch randomly without even know how to use them, and then place them neatly on your bed while waiting for you to show him the way they work;

- he gets pussydrunk pretty fast. he loves eating you out and fingering you the most. as soon as he is confident enough, he will ask you to sit on his face and ride his tongue until you cum on him;

- the prettiest soft grunts while you ride him or you manhandle him, "uh, nnnngh, ff-fuck, ahhh, oh g-god";

- thigh guy for sure. he goes crazy every time he sees you in a short skirt or in a tight pair of jeans. he will look at your legs so much he will almost go crossed-eye and will mentally pray for you to suffocate him with them as soon as you come back home;

- he loves to watch you masturbating. he will sit obediently at the foot of your bed, enraptured by the schlick sound of your fingers pushing in and out of your wet pussy, baby boy almost salivating at the sight;

- call him a simple guy, but he cums the hardest with sloppy blowjobs. he knows he has to stay still, but he usually cannot handle it till you give him permission and will end up thrusting in your mouth just a couple of times before you smack his ass and bring him back to his place;

- another noona lover here. he just loves the feeling of your experienced hands guiding him into pure bliss and to be called your pretty little boy;

- "noona, what was that? oh-ohhh g-god that feels amazing, p-please do it again."

If you're not in the know what's happening in Warframe right now, next week a new quest gets released with a new Warframe that's rumoured to be a different character (that was in the game from the beginning) kind of like post-transition. And, much to the dismay of the average Gamer Bigot™️ the developers also donated 10.000$ to rainbow railroad and trans lifeline each for pride (along with a bunch of ingame pride items).

Anyway, on their website they have a lore conversation between the Stalker and Hunhow (stalker being the rumoured-to-be-trans character, ignore the edgy name, they came up with him over 10 years ago lol) and HO BOY, feels like every second damn paragraph of that conversation is loaded with trans allegory, here's some snippets that are most blatantly obvious:

"What do you owe them? A lifetime of old hate spent pupating new regrets."

"Envy those whose bodies your 'vaunted' matters stole."

"It does seem tiresome. One monster to buckle against the weight of battalions. Little wonder you would seek allies, friends, confidants. Family."

"You know what must be done, but still fear your own weakness more than the outcome. You fear that you have taken too long-- that your hesitation has already destroyed-"

"All the more reason you should heed me: it's not too late."

"Let us dispense with veils, my Shadow. You want me here to lament at your ear like some chirping conscience. You want to hear the truth."

"No matter which way the tides drift, the only options left to you will bring a target upon your back."

Like, you can see it too right? If you're trans, chances are you can see yourself in at least one of those quotes (I know I do), and personally, I cannot wait for the bigots to huff and puff and cry about it, happy pride <3

I’ve been rereading the current anime arc in the manga, and finally got to The Apology™️, and I wondered what words Katsuki used before translation.

Disclaimer: I’m sure others must have posted about this before but I couldn’t recall reading it myself. I do remember there was a lot of talk about the way he used “gomen” as the Japanese fandom were saying how cute and childlike it sounded, so I thought I’d see if there was anything else interesting there.

Oh, my sweet sweet baby boy…

So, just before he says ‘Sorry for everything’ (ima made gomen), he says:

言ってどうにかなるもんじゃねェけど

本音だ

出久

“Itte dōnika naru mon ja nē kedo… Honne da…Izuku”

Which in the English translation, gave us:

And “speak my truth” is lovely and all, but the word from the original that stuck out for me was ‘honne’.

I’m not sure how familiar most people are with honne–tatemae (I only know about it because I go way way too in-depth when researching for my fics lol), but it’s a concept that every Japanese person is deeply aware of, and underpins much of their society.

Here’s the Wikipedia intro:

Ohhh, that is some extra juicy context for Kacchan’s speech. Essentially, he is saying that everything up until now has been his tatemae, a public façade to protect his own position (strong, powerful hero etc), but that he can’t keep that up and he wants Izuku to see his honne, his true, private self.

Excuse me while I melt from the cuteness.

But WAIT! There’s more!

How much do you know about second-person pronouns in Japanese? (Nope, this isn’t about ‘kare’ again this time hehe).

You’ve probably noticed in the anime that Kacchan says “Temee” a lot, and you may have also noticed that it tends to get translated as cursing. So it actually just means ‘you,’ but like a really rude way of saying it, such that the only way of reflecting that in English is to replace ‘you’ with something like Bastard or Asshole.

Again, have an expert explain:

This and the below are from a very excellent article about second-person pronouns and how they are used for context and drama in anime specifically. I’d recommend reading it as the context is really interesting!

So although pronouns aren’t actually commonly used or necessary in much spoken Japanese, when they are used, it’s a deliberate way to tell you about the relationship dynamic between two characters.

But why, you may ask, am I talking about pronouns again?!

Because, dear friends, throughout the first half of his speech, Kacchan uses ‘temee’ as usual to describe his past with Izuku. I’ve highlighted it below, and pls also note the shaky speech bubble showing his nerves during the ‘honne’ section. 🥺

HOWEVER, straight after he says he wants Izuku to see his Honne, Katsuki switches pronouns from ‘Temee’ (v rude), to ‘Omae’ (very casual/familiar). Below is the page after the apology.

Considering we now know pronouns are not necessary to convey meaning, that’s a hell of a lot of omaes on one page!! Boy cannot get enough of saying it.

If you want more about the different pronouns, see below for a helpful table of common uses for both. And please indulge my shippy heart for highlighting the second usage (but, like ‘kare’, you never know)…

Katsuki is showing Izuku immediately and repeatedly that this is who he wants to be to him and how he wants the world to see them. His honne, his inner desire, is to be close to Izuku, to treat him as an equal.

He’s not just saying sorry, he’s showing that—at least from his perspective—things are going to be different from now on. But, like, also, that this was how he felt about him in private the whole time?! GAHHHH.

So there you go, the apology that was already a massive turning point in their story/relationship was actually even deeper and more beautiful than we all thought. Yet again, Japanese conveys nuance and intention far beyond what can be translated. 😭💕

Hey, hey! I would like to request a Rosey Maple Moth! mother figure reader with the rottmnt boys!! And the scenario is that they were caught sneaking out of the lair for their own reason? (Separately) Por favor and thank you!! :3 (DAILY REMINDER! drink water, sleep well, etc!) (yes.. I know I wrote this at 12:21 sh..)

Okokok! Sounds very cute let’s do it <3 *quickly Google’s what a Rosey Maple Moth is* ITS SO CUTE

@whyam1h3reohrightf0rsillyturtl3s

I am gonna leave it vague btw, just because not everyone has a rosey maple moth oc, but I am gonna mention wings and being nocturnal I hope that’s okay!

Tw: none

Rise Boys + Mother Figure! Reader

Off topic, I make the banners on top of multiple character head-cannons and this one is my personal favourite I’ve made

Leo

Oh he thought he was SLICK

Sneaking back in all ninja like

Headed to the kitchen for some goddamn coffee after whatever shenanigans he was off doing

At three in the morning

He saw your wings around the corner and knew it was over

“Leonardo Hamato where have you been?” >:[

“I’m getting uhhh chamomile tea, you know, for, sleep.”

“I can smell the beans from here.”

“No you can’t. You’re going crazy. Age does that to people.”

Sending him to his room, not like he’s going to sleep anyway the insomniac

Raph

He accidentally knocked over a lamp when sneaking back in

Thought he had gotten away with it

Until you flicked the light on

Disappointed ™️

“A. What are you doing? B. That was my favourite lamp.”

“I- uh- was sleep walking?”

*cue you talking a sip of coffee whilst maintaining eye contact until he cracks*

It came sooner than expected

“Okay fine I was out I’m sorry, but you’re up too!”

“I’m nocturnal I have a biological excuse young man.”

Donnie

God knows what he was doing

I don’t even want to ask

He calculated that you may be waiting for him so he made a FOOLPROOF plan on how to avoid you

You had anticipated this, and waited in the lab instead, you got to spin around on the chair for a dramatic entrance

“Hello Donatello. Nocturnal now are we?”

*cue shrieking*

He wasn’t expecting that

“I was just, uh, getting some supplies for my drill, that is still in beta. And that you cannot see yet.”

Disapproving look ™️

Making him go to sleep

Mikey

Sneaking out

He was seen

Sneaking back in

He was seen

Mikey thought he was sooo sneaky >:[

*Flicking on the light the moment he enters the room.*

“Michelangelo Hamato, what are you doing?”

*Quick play dumb!*

“Who’s Michelangelo?”

*Not that dumb!*

[atrueneutral]

On a scale from 0-100, how Down Bad™️ is Raphael for Tav?

He did it to himself. HWBASK!Raphael Down Badness™️ under the cut.

Chapter 1: As entertained as I am by the mouse, she’s a tool, nothing more. She will get me what she wants she- she did what? How dare she! I will make her suffer, I will make her break…

Chapter 2: Poor thing - all alone, so defenseless as she sleeps. And without her stolen goods to keep her comfort, tsk tsk. I could kill her now… were that I one to debase myself in senseless murder... Bah, where would the fun in that be? What I have planned is far more interesting…

Chapter 3: She’s here! How I’ve waited for and dreamed of this day (for a year she’s cursed my thoughts)! Everything is going as planned and will go as planned! She will suffer, she will break!

Chapter 5: Oh… the mouse looks tantalizing in this bed she made. Shame we’re going to be late. Mm, she’s trying to get a reaction out of me and-- damn her. Rhys or his Collection will not taste her before I have! There! I have marked her! And she will not be anyone else's!

Damn it all! I am a fool for going against my plan, but I need to remind Rhys that my the mouse is not to be killed…

I want more of her…

Chapter 6: It's a weakness to admit I don't like seeing her injured, however it's only because the harm wasn’t inflicted by my hand. I’ll whisk her off to the boudoir where I can watch her bathe before teasing her with an element of the next act.

What is it with this soiled blanket? Ah, it was theirs. Now I am being inundated with thoughts of them…

Begone, spawn...

Chapter 7: Mm, I do like seeing her naked. And I like conversing with her - she amuses me, nothing more. I'll mark her again to assert myself and my role in her life - I have defined it by the terms: the mark is to stay for the entirety of our time together! Which is eternity! Her soul will be mine... Chapter 8: She continues to amuse me with these threats. She'll break my toes? Ha! I won't go to her, though I know she wishes to see me... I wish to see her... but this distance I'm putting between us is necessary. I fear what she could do to me... She forces my hand by throwing Others in my face! By removing MY mark! I will not be removed! Ah, of course she's put together my involvement with the vampire spawn. And she thinks to threaten me with this blade? Foolish woman. A mere bluff - she wouldn't. I can tell she is aware of it, too... this... this thing between us... this tension that the barest touch of her knife would cut...

She's being a coward...

Allow me to be the knife.

We will both give in to this need.

Afterwards, I will continue on this path to destroy her...

For she's destroying me.

My little mouse...

Chapter 9: She's spending too much time dancing with the Ravengard boy... It's fine - I will have (all of) her attention soon. In the meantime, I will help myself to her body (a gift I crave more and more these days), and my touch will remind her that though she's in the Ravengard boy's arms, I am there. Hm... she will forsake her ribbon and show my claim on her if I resist my urges? Very well. This concession of mine will be but a sample of the more formal and physical declaration that she. is. mine.

I suffer to be in the same room as her - she's intoxicating. I wish to touch her... but there is business to be done... I can't help myself - my control wavers whenever she is near. I must taste her.

What has she done?

Chapter 10: I'm not in love with her. She'll suffer. She'll break...

Chapter 11: She's in love with me? She's in love with me. She's mine!

Chapter 12: She hates me but she loves me. I will ensure that we will be together! For eternity! But to Hells with this accursed hope in my chest that she will choose to be with me...

Should she make the wrong choice, I will make the correct one for her. I will not be without what I now know I can have.

Chapter 13: Stubborn and foolish woman! Damn you, Tav! For making me... no, I cannot, will not admit to it... Let this prove it to you.

I...

Chapter 14: I detest her. She's gone, leaving me with this insufferable ache... I can't do anything but think of her. She's gone and marred my existence with her existence.

What could have been...

Yes, I detest her.

I will give her a gift... aside from my mark on her neck...

Daggers in shades of green - a color that will remind her of the soul she'd lost and the soul I'd returned, and a color that will forever remind me of our dance.

I wish to consume her as she's consumed me.

I wish-

Tav?

She's made her choice...

And...

She's mine.

[steviesbicrisis]

Stranger things rewatch thoughts

I’ve recently decided to do a rewatch since I don’t remember anything that happens before the scoops ahoy shorts™️ and all of my memories are covered in a thick layer of rainbows and unicorns thanks to Tumblr. I don’t know if anyone will be interested but I wrote down my thoughts while watching 😂 this is season 1:

Where is Steve? I miss Steve

Steve I really hate your current friends, when are you going to ditch them and become fruity for our resident fav metalhead weirdo?

Me pulling out google translate to understand what the Russian are saying: am I Robin Buckley?

Wait a fucking minute, the Party’s bullies were just chilling in the woods, causally brought a knife with them and stumbled upon Mike and Dustin?? How in hell-

I swear to god I have no clue how Carol kept dating Tommy after he almost kissed Steve in front of her

I’m sorry Harrington but that ASS going up the ladder, wow

Here my thoughts on season 2!!

[macabr3-barbi3]

God, That's Good!

Chapter 8: Pentious' Death

Pentious has dirt on Lucifer- and that just won't do. Something shifts in his relationship with Alastor.

Tags: EXPLICIT DEPICTION OF MURDER (I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. A MAN IS DYING); followed by Explicit Sexual Content™️

Sweet Lord this chapter was a lot! Please be mindful of the tags above before continuing. There is a smut scene in this chapter- I'll include dividers surrounding it in case you want to skip over that section!

Also just as a note- everything from chapter 7 to chapter 12 is taking place on the same day! I tried to figure out a way that it would make sense to space things out but ultimately just having a bunch of fuckery on the same day is what worked out the best xD

My weekly thank you to @fraugwinska for her eternal love and support, as well as to @minkdelovely for being so supportive and sweet about this story 🥹

(this divider doesn't count for the smut lol)

Act One: Chapter 1 🥧 Chapter 2 🥧 Chapter 3 🥧 Chapter 4 🥧 Chapter 5 🥧 Chapter 6  🥧Chapter 7 🥧 Chapter 8

They stand there in an uncomfortable silence for a few moments before he speaks. “So, what can I do for you?” Lucifer asks the other barber, and Pentious’ smile somehow gets even wider.

He straightens his shoulders. “I have come to check out your establishment,” he says, and Lucifer’s eyebrow quirks up. “Despite what Niffty may have claimed, it’s not much to look at- though I presume you’ll have it in top shape in no time!” He steps further into the shop, trailing his fingers over different surfaces, inspecting Lucifer’s razors, moving around until he’s within an arm’s length. “I have also come to collect my money back- the five dollars.”

And he’s been trying to be polite, but the request makes him laugh out loud. “Do you not know how a contest works, Sir Pentious? You lost- the money is no longer yours.”

“Furthermore,” Pentious continues, as though Lucifer hadn’t spoken, “I shall expect half of your earnings every week, delivered to me via Niffty, once you start getting customers in. You’re welcome to use your remaining share to make the place a little nicer-”

“Just why, exactly,” Lucifer cuts in, “would you expect me to do that?” He spoke as though Lucifer owed him something, when their contest had been cut and dry- Lucifer had won fair and square, he hadn’t cheated in any way, nor had he stolen the money.

Pentious holds out his hand to Lucifer, waiting for the money to be dropped into it. “You see, I thought I was wrong until you mentioned Fleet Street to the crowd asking where they could find you! I was but an apprentice- you taught me the tricks of the trade!”

For a moment Lucifer has no idea what he was talking about- then the memory hits like whiplash, causing him to dig his fingers into his palm, the faint pain of it keeping him grounded. Young Eddie- a slip of a teenager that he had given a few dollars a month to assist him in cleanup one summer when his business had been booming, his free time limited when it came to the state of the shop. He had been going through a late puberty, his facial hair growing in patchy and uneven around his red spots of acne, and he- Damien- had taken pity on the boy and taught him how to shave in the most basic of manners. 

He feels the blood drain from his face as he staggers back towards his chair, and Pentious barks out a harsh laugh. “Ha! So you recall my face at last, Damien Diggory- and you’ll adhere to my terms or I ssshall fetch the Beadle and tell her of my findingsss!” He stalks closer, his frame towering over Lucifer far less pleasantly than Alastor did, his words hissing through his teeth in his excitement. “You think you’re ssso much more clever than everyone else, coming back here, but I know who you are! And I ssshall have you on the first ssship back to the wastesss of Florida if you don’t do as I sssay.” He straightens his shoulders again, smile pleasant once more. “I ssshall like to have my money back now if you pleassse, Missster Diggory.”

His plans, his goals, his vengeance- they slip through his fingers like sand with every word from the other barber’s mouth. He’s still talking but Lucifer can’t hear him over the buzz of anger, of wrath, that fills his mind, his eyes going dark around the edges. Pentious would ruin everything that Lucifer had worked for if he wasn’t stopped; even if Lucifer did as he said the threat of it would loom over his head constantly, forever in the back of his mind, never sure if he would fulfill his plot before it all came crashing down around him.

And Lucifer does raise his hands from where they’ve been ramrod straight at his sides, but not to reach into his pocket for his wallet- he feels like a man possessed as he lunges instead for Pentious’ throat, the man letting out a choked off grunt when Lucifer tackles his tall frame to the ground. There’s a resounding thud that shakes the shop walls, and Lucifer is distantly conscious enough to hope that Alastor doesn’t hear it and come running, or God forbid the little girl come up to see this. But more pressing is the deep thudding inside his head, dark whispers saying to silence this man, that he was going to destroy everything that Lucifer had done if he didn’t stop him. Even now his past chased him as he tried to outrun it, this lowly charlatan that he had tried to help as a young man coming back to haunt him all these years later.

Pentious releases a hand from those encircling his throat, opting to rake his fingernails down Lucifer’s arm rather than dislodge his grip- he can feel bones shifting beneath his palms, the red of the man’s face ensuring that he couldn’t speak beyond the garbled noises that escaped his throat. He tries to twist his body, managing to knock Lucifer from his position and try to scramble away. The smooth fabric of his suit slips against the wooden floors, not giving him the traction he needs to truly escape. Lucifer tackles him once more, this time bringing his arm up to wrap around Pentious’ throat and finally,  finally,  his movements slow and eventually stop, his body hanging limply in Lucifer’s arms before he lets him gently to the floor.

He was well and truly fucked, he realizes, his panic rising when he hears the girl shouting something from downstairs. In a frenzy, he grabs Pentious’ boots and drags him across the floor to the half-open door of the apartment, scrambling to shove his body inside and ease the door shut before the door to the shop opens. He pulls his sleeves down in a rush so she can’t see the marks that her employer has left on him, and when she flings the door open she glances around curiously.

“Where’s Sir Pentious? He told me to make sure he wasn’t late for the tailor- I think it was supposed to be yesterday actually, but I know I have the time right at least!” She stands with her arms behind her back, rocking gently forward on her toes then back on her heels.

Lucifer clears his throat, hoping he doesn’t sound as panicked as he feels. “Sir Pentious had to leave,” he says in what he hopes is a reassuring manor. “Perhaps you should run along after him!”

She whips her head back and forth, red hair splaying in every direction. “No, sir- if he comes back and I’m not here I would be in some trouble! I mean- he says that, anyway. But between you and me, I think he’s a bit of a softie.” She gives Lucifer a conspiratorial wink, her smile fading when he doesn’t return it. “He’s okay though, right?”

“Oh, he’s fine! Just had to step out-”

He hears a soft noise from behind him, perhaps too low for the girl to pick up but he hears it clear as day- Pentious was waking up from his short bout of unconsciousness, Lucifer’s strength not enough to permanently put him out of commission. “-rather suddenly- why don’t you wait for him downstairs? Or, like you said- if he’s a softie, surely you wouldn’t get into any trouble for returning to his home or base of operations.” He returns her wink finally, and that seems to put her at ease- she flashes him a smile and is off in seconds, the door slamming behind her and the stairs thumping as she bounds down them. He breathes a sigh of relief, taking a deep breath for the first time since he had learned who Pentious was, steadying himself to go back into the apartment and try to talk reason into the man.

He doesn’t get a chance. Pentious charges him from the doorway of the apartment, Lucifer landing hard on his knees while Pentious tries to claw at his face, his throat, anything he can reach. His own throat is bruised, dark shades of purple and mottled green that makes him look like a dead man come back to life, his eyes red rimmed and furious as he tries to take Lucifer down. In a moment of desperation, Lucifer manages to grab his razor- he flicks it open with practiced ease, one hand adjusting the grip he has and the other reaching out to fist in Pentious’ hair, swinging his weight to change their positions. The force of the motion sends them both toppling backwards, Pentious still flailing in an attempt to get away despite the firm grasp Lucifer has on him, no true sounds coming from his ruined throat.

In a way, Lucifer’s mind clears as he lifts the razor. He stares at the ceiling of the barbershop, stray bits of hair obscuring his vision, but he feels for once like his body is at peace. He can hear his heartbeat in his ears over the muffled noises from the man above him- he doesn’t feel numb, or empty.

He feels justified. He brings the razor down in a swift, precise movement, a spurt of warm liquid that drenches his face before the body that rests on his chest falls still at last.

He’s unsure how long he lays there before he drops the razor, using the weight from both arms to shove Pentious off him. There’s the solid noise of something heavy dropping onto a hardwood floor, then silence. Lucifer can’t look at him, can’t face what he’s done yet even as the evidence coats his face, his chest, his hands. 

It was necessary. That’s what he tells himself as he rises to his knees, body vibrating with the leftover adrenaline of the fight. And no one would ever have to know- he would clean up, hide the body until dark when he could try to take it somewhere to bury him. There was that killer on the news, the Bayou Butcher- it could be passed off as one of their kills if anyone ever found the body. Alastor would never have to know. He seemed complacent enough with Lucifer’s plans but to actually see it plain as day, staining Lucifer’s skin? The conversation they had had not even an hour ago would be for nothing- Alastor would be frightened of him, would surely kick him out, report him to the authorities. He needed to move now, clean this mess up, hide the body-

There’s no creak of the stairs or the door, nothing to alert him to Alastor’s approach until he hears the soft gasp at the entrance, looking up from Pentious’ body and the pooling blood to see Alastor standing there with wide eyes, his hand covering his mouth.

“Alastor,” he gets out, his voice low and rough. “Fuck, I- I didn’t want you to see this.” 

“You killed him?” The baker asks, and Lucifer can’t identify the tone in his voice so he flinches at the sound of it. “You actually- you did this?”

He closes his eyes against the raw emotion in Alastor’s voice. “Yes. I- I wasn’t planning to, he recognized me from my past and he was going to blackmail me, I couldn’t just let him-” Alastor is still watching him, his eyes darting between Lucifer and Pentious, his hands trembling, and Lucifer’s chest aches with the possibility of Alastor being scared of him. He staggers from his knees to stand, his feet stuttering as he tries to approach Alastor, and he knows he must look a mess. “Please, Alastor, he would have ruined everything; you have to understand.”

And to Lucifer’s shock, he seems to. He removes his hand from his mouth to reach out and cup the barber’s cheek, his other hand coming up to wrap around his back and pull him into his chest. Lucifer could sob with relief, Alastor’s arms around him feeling like they were holding him together- like without them he would simply bust into pieces on the floor. “Fuck, I was- I’m so sorry,” he mumbles into Alastor’s shirt. “If you’re afraid, I understand; but please know that I would never, never harm you.” He places his own hand- coated in blood, he realizes, but he feels like he’s moving in slow motion, too late now to take the movement back- along Alastor’s face, stroking a thumb along his cheekbone.

To say he’s surprised when Alastor steals his mouth in a searing kiss would be an understatement; one he doesn’t have time to unpack as Alastor brings their lips together, a frenzy of teeth and tongue that has wires crossing in Lucifer’s brain, transforming the anxiety of the moment into something more heated that races confusedly through his veins. The baker guides him, walking him backwards towards the apartment until they cross the threshold, closing the door enough that they can’t see the body on the floor of the barbershop before shoving Lucifer onto the couch.

Dust puffs around them, tickling his nose, almost breaking the moment to let out a nervous giggle until Alastor starts pawing at his shirt, fingers fumbling with the buttons until he gets it open and slides his hands along the planes of Lucifer’s chest and abdomen. One of his hands drifts lower, brushing against sensitive skin through the fabric of his pants and Lucifer’s hips buck up without conscious thought, a broken moan pouring into Alastor’s mouth that the other man simply drinks down. 

It’s not until he hears the clinking of his belt that he’s spurred into action, pulling off Alastor’s mouth with a gasp and stilling him with a hand to his wrist. “Jesus fucking- Alastor, wait-”

“I can’t,” Alastor groans, rolling his hips down against Lucifer’s, the friction against his clothed erection making Lucifer see stars. “I need you, need this, please…” He drags Lucifer’s hand away from his wrist, brings it to the hardness straining between his own thighs.

“Oh, fuck,” Lucifer manages before Alastor is taking his mouth again, tongue sliding against his, everything heated and moist and so much. “Fuck, I- we’re taking it slow,” he protests halfheartedly, already kicking himself for the possibility of the gorgeous man in his lap taking a step back. “We said we would slow down-”

“Slow down after, damn it,” Alastor near snarls, never ceasing the grinding of his lower body, and flashes of pleasure spark down Lucifer’s spine at the perfection of it. “Will you be so cruel as to make me beg?”

His head is shaking before he realizes it, soft words of affirmation spilling forth and spurring Alastor to finish removing Lucifer’s belt, tossing it carelessly behind him to clink onto the floor and shoving his shirt up. His hands are fast and deft, buttons undone in record time and reaching in to pull Lucifer’s cock from his pants, hard and aching in the slight chill of the room from the breeze that blows through the broken windows. He moans when Alastor gives him a stroke, his grip firm and perfect, and he finds the sense of mind to start working at the baker’s bottoms open as well. 

The whimper that escapes Alastor when Lucifer gets a hand around his erection will live in his mind forever, he thinks, low and keening against Lucifer’s mouth. He shifts his seat in the barber’s lap, impatiently smacking his hands away so he can bring their cocks together between his own hands and buck his hips, bare skin hot and hard against one another, the way eased by the fluid that leaks from them both. 

Lucifer is almost embarrassed by how quickly he’s losing control with this beautiful man in his lap, his fingers digging into the soft skin of Alastor’s hips- he’s sure to leave bruises, something he wishes he was a good enough man to feel sorry about, but the thought of leaving something that lasts on Alastor’s body was too delicious to pass up. He grips harder, and Alastor rips their mouths apart to let his head drop back and whine. “Touch me,” he asks earnestly despite his earlier despair at the thought of begging, freeing a hand from their lengths to bring Lucifer’s deathgrip from his waist to the buttons of his shirt, all but ripping them off in his haste to assist in undoing them. “Please, Lucifer-”

To have someone so lost in passion because of him that they plead with him for more, their release obvious and imminent in the tremble of their frame is a high Lucifer has seldom experienced. Even with Lilith he had never felt so desirable- but to think of her now was unfair to either of them. Right now he was here with Alastor, who was squirming and desperate seated on top of him, Lucifer would be damned if he didn’t give the man the attention he desired and deserved.

“God, you’re fucking gorgeous,” he breathes, taking over for Alastor’s nimble fingers and hastily opening his shirt, calloused fingers brushing against a dark, sensitive nipple, the motion causing Alastor to collapse forward with his head on Lucifer’s shoulder. He pants hot and wet in Lucifer’s ear as the barber lets his hands explore, trailing over beautiful, smooth skin that it was possible no one had ever touched before; his sounds are a combination of unrestrained pleasure and frantic whispers of Lucifer’s name. “You’re a marvel, so perfect for me-”

Alastor’s grip tightens fractionally, the rhythm of his hips faltering against Lucifer’s until his whole body tenses. Teeth sink into Lucifer’s throat- not hard enough to draw blood, perhaps more of an anchor to reality as orgasm crashes into Alastor, muffled noises escaping where he holds delicate skin between his teeth. The baker’s grip is so much wetter as he spills over his fingers, a hot splash of release that decorates Lucifer’s abdomen and makes the glide of their cocks against each other sloppy.

The pain of the bite, the sudden slickness to the friction of Alastor’s hands holding their erections together is too much for Lucifer as well. He throws his head back, his groan directed at the ceiling as his orgasm rips through him, body burning like he’s been set ablaze from the inside out. Ecstasy claws its way through him, sharp bolts of it that start in his abdomen and flash through his limbs and brain like explosions while he spends himself as Alastor had, hot and wet across his fingers and their cocks.

Lucifer isn’t sure how long they sit there, simply breathing one another in before Alastor withdraws his teeth from the barber’s throat. “My apologies,” he murmurs into Lucifer’s ear, and the shiver that races down his frame has little to do with the chilled air that resides in the apartment. “I’m not quite sure what came over me.”

“I have some idea,” Lucifer says on a laugh, slipping a hand into Alastor’s dark curls to pull him from the crook of his neck and look at him properly. He brushes sweaty strands away from his forehead, presses a soft kiss to his lips. “It was an intense moment for both of us- there’s no need to apologize for it. If anything, I should be apologizing; I said I would court you properly before we did anything more and I’ve given in to the first temptation you offered me.”

Alastor scoots himself backwards on Lucifer’s lap, grimacing at the mess that still rests between them. “You’re the one who chose to name yourself after the origin of sin in Eden; perhaps I was counting on that.” He winks before he climbs out of Lucifer’s space entirely, grabbing a doily from the sofa arm to haphazardly wipe himself down before he slips through the door back into the barbershop.

Lucifer hears him speak, and the dopey smile still on his face from the linger aftershocks of pleasure fades when he remembers what lay on the other side of that door- what he and Alastor now had to race to fix before anyone came looking. 

“Oh dear,” Alastor exclaimed, and Lucifer could picture the worried crease in his eyebrow at the carnage. “What a mess!”

[meimi-haneoka]

Hello, Cinzia! How are you doing? I have two things I wanted to talk to you about but first let me start by saying thank you for your translation correction posts! I have a habit of reading both translated and original Japanese versions side by side for comparison and my lord… the amount of errors the official translated version had is astounding. So thank you for having the fandom's back on that!

Okay so the first thing I wanted to talk about is the fandom's (understandable) disappointment over the conclusion chapter. But I have a theory on why this might feel disappointing. You see, I also happened to come from the Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire fandom and right now it has been 13 years since the release of the last book and everyone has been waiting patiently for it. In the mean time, the fandom has come up with A LOT (and I mean A LOT!!) of theories on how the characters are going to develop and eventually how the books are going to end. This is fun because it keeps the fandom alive. But the biggest con is that the theories are so wildly out there now that everyone deep down knows no one's gonna be satisfied with the ending the author will give us because we have extrapolated too much in this past decade. While we in the CCS fandom didn't have to wait that long, I still think a lot of us had come up with theories while waiting for the next release and maybe because we were basing them our past experiences with Tsubasa and xxxHolic, we assumed that was road to go. Personally, I loved the ending Clamp gave us. I always love a little open ending because then we get take that ending to our little sandbox and make our own stories. But best of all, if the story hasn't ended, IT MEANS WE HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE THEM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE :D!!! Isn't that exciting?? You're absolutely right about how the ending isn't going to please everyone. Because that's literature! The creators of The Matrix once said that art is never stagnant. People will come back to it years later and find something new to relate to and have a newfound love for it!

For my second thing I wanted to share!! As someone who grew up with CCS and now coming back to Clear Card as an adult who has gone through Life™️, I realize how much easier it was for me to pick up on the darker undertones of Clear Card. KAITO WAS NOT OKAY FROM THE TIME HE WAS INTRODUCED!! Like that boy had 10 different alarm bells ringing every time he spoke. And the thing that made me realize that is something from my own life experience. Akiho's past as an abused child is also very easy to pick up on and not something you need to read between the lines. Like it was RIGHT THERE! So idk why people deny that they had miserable lives. Kaito isn't a villain per se. He's an antihero. And even if he was (let's just say it for the sake of it), Clamp's villains are never one dimensional and the same goes for Kaito too. He just needed help. But coming back to my main point, I wonder if Clamp had intentionally gave us a more mature theme for Clear Card, knowing that most of their readers are going to be adults who grew up with the original CCS. The idea of "everything that I can and can't do make me who I am" is so IMPORTANT to remember!! The feeling of lack of self worth haunts all of us. There are many things that Sakura can't do either and that's okay because she has help. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO ASK FOR HELP!! We cannot do everything on our own (looking at Kaito) and that's okay! This is how Syaoran shows his love too. He knows he is limited (as we all are) but there are things he can do to help Sakura. We always have to remember that because life isn't easy to go through alone. (knocks on Kaito's head)

I'm looking forward to future stories revolving our favorite gang. I wonder if Akiho will travel to meet Eriol some time too. Anyway, I feel like I have taken too much of your time. Thank you for everything you've done for the fandom and if you choose to reply to this message then thank you for that too! Have a nice day :D

Omg hello new follower!! Where were you hiding all this time?? 😂😂 I LOVED receiving your ask and it brightened my day, thank you very much!! See, people, this is someone who gets it 👍 (as I know all my affectionate readers do!! I just need to show off all of you because, among the sea of complaints, the fandom needs to see that there are ALSO lots of people out there who understood Clear Card correctly, and it's not a nonsense story to everyone like they think it is).

Your first point is absolutely logical and I also think that's one of the reasons why the "final" chapter wasn't going to satisfy each and everyone in the fandom: that was just plain impossible from the get go, but adding all that you so cleverly explained here, yeah it was just bound to happen all the more. I still think, though, that if you paid attention, understood the story and the characters correctly along the way, the theories that you as a fan could've think of weren't going to be that far from what actually happened. I managed to foresee a lots of events (some more precisely, some less precisely, some I did completely accidentally) and that's not because I have powers or because I paid CLAMP for it 😂😂 but just because I "listened" to what the story, or rather, what CLAMP were trying to tell me through the story. I picked up the signs and for the most part didn't let them trick me with the red herrings, and even when I made theories I always kept quite "flexible" in case canon didn't go that way (there's also plenty of stuff that didn't go as I thought). The only thing I was always sure about is that this would have had a happy ending. For the all the characters. And yes, open endings can be a present to the fandom, especially the creative one! Moreover, it's an easy way to get back into the series later, in case they want to continue it.

And for the second point....oooh, I know. I KNOW. God, it's always been so clear, especially when they started to show his past as a kid and the fact that he fed himself energetic bars as a "meal"? Or when they said that everything tasted the same to him? That's beyond messed up for a kid and it was immediately clear that he had enormous problems behind that smily mask that he was showing to everyone. Those are clear symptom of depression and god only knows the degree of abandonment Kaito lived in, in his childhood. The fact that he was literally snapped up by an Association of criminals doesn't mean that they intended to raise him or that they were interested in his wellbeing.

The people who deny that Akiho and Kaito had a childhood made of abuse only do so because if they didn't, then they would feel forced to feel empathy and pity for them (lest they appear as insensitive), and they don't want to, because they had already decided they were obnoxious, malicious and unwanted characters a long time ago. Cause their background of abuse is very very clear, especially for Akiho. It's spelled out clearly multiple times. They couldn't go further than what they did because it would've been too jarring for a story like CCS (and I've seen the disturbed comments of a part of the JP fandom, already as it is).

So yeah, Kaito is an antihero at best, or a "reluctant villain", a trope I have seen once in a post on instagram. It fitted him completely. He villainized himself towards everyone else (Sakura & Co.) in order to achieve his only goal, even if that wasn't really in his nature. But he did, for Akiho's sake.

And yes yes yes to all the rest that you've said!! One of the most important lessons we got from Clear Card is that it's important to ask for help when you need it, that you shouldn't take everything on your shoulder......and if you notice that a friend is struggling, don't ignore them but extend a helping hand, cause they probably don't have the strength to ask for help.

I also really hope that we can see our favorite gang in the future, and I keep in my heart a little hope to see Akiho/Kaito/Momo in Holic too!!

Thank you so much for this ask and I hope you'll enjoy the rest of my posts!! 😁❤️

[blairamok]

Hi Hi Hi

I was gonna ask this anonymously but I just need you to know how much your On Thin Ice AU means to me. I first found you on instagram and I have lived for every update of these two. I have watched dozens of clips of figure skating galas because of them. I was into figure skating as a hobby before this, but this AU specifically inspired me to put in nearly 40 hours of ice time between this past December-February. I have skated my blades until they are utterly dull. It is my new goal to one day do the cantilever Crowley pulls off in one of your earlier drawings, where his hands are almost fully on the ice behind him. Just, thank you so so much for sharing your art with the fandom!! I cannot wait until you get around to updating your fic for this AU, but the first chapter is amazinggg. I love the dynamic you have set up between Crowley and Aziraphale (and am Totally NOT Jealous (/s) of Aziraphale having been into competitive ballroom dancing in high school [another hobby I need to add to my collection of hobbies, one day] )

I never know how to end an ask, so,

💜⛸💜

oh gosh, i basically cried reading this… thank you so much for this lovely ask. every time i find out OTI has inspired someone to get on the ice i’m just… floored. i’ve put a lot of love into it and it makes me so happy to see it loved back. i started this AU because i’ve always enjoyed figure skating, mainly as a spectator because i never had access to rinks growing up. now i do and i’m taking classes! and it’s really putting things into perspective for me too, giving me a lot of good food for fic writing. 👀 speaking of which, chapter 2 is basically done and is coming soon™️ and i hope you like it! i have A LOT planned for these boys and i’m so looking forward to sharing it

also, i believe in you! you will achieve the crowley cantilever of your dreams 🤍 go forth and skate!!!

[fluffypotatey]

When I started LMK, like. just last month actually, I was ELATED to see Wukong like that was a fluffy silly monkey!! Like ain't no wayyyy they're just gonna introduce him like "yeah so I met THE monkey king and told me I was his successor and then I never saw him again?" shows who thought of doing that always changed their mind, so hooray! reoccuring character! I know nobody sees Wukong as a dad but I think of JTTW where he's the communal grandfather of all monkeys and like. I like me a Monkey King whose a KING and not a Monkey Jester looking out for his family of monkies on the mountain. im soft. he's like alone in his species. give him a monkey family. give me a good leader. he loves them SO MUCH. anyways. he's so squishy too like when MK was all "whaaat? but you're so cute and cheeky!" and Wukong was all "I KNOW" im crying, also when he was gushing over the bunnies on the moon. the line about "dorky mortals" what a goofball. but ooh the GOOD STUFF like when his voice goes all deep and growly when he's actually serious and angry like YES WRECK SOME STUFF UP. protective Swk is so good, and when he crashed onto the ship whumped out to hell and back OOH that was good too, so yum yum, and reminded me a ton of my old fav bc the whole "lying/pretending to be chill and relax kind of guy when you're actually doing Secret Important Business" is 100% his thing, but this time it actually gets revealed to the others lol. but yeah that aspect of Wukong is so fun because I can write so many tactical schemes with him. I love how they dragged him out of retirement to still be cool and active. "You should have stayed buried." had me on the edge of my seat as one of the first Things Are About To Get Real moments. Its also neat how sometimes his dialogue shows slivers of his Great Sage Wisdom Style of Speaking coming out. I went to rewatch that ep and also forgot how much of a stupid cartoon villain Macky was there lmao, I was hoping they wouldn't send him blasting off like team rocket every episode, at least that's started to change as of S4 XD I wonder if the theories about the journey failing hold any merit, stuff like "Wukong is not the loner he pretends to be" and all the other itty bitty behavioral clues are so fun to dig into.

HE IS SUCH A GOOFBALL 😍😍😍 i love this monkey man so much like you don’t even know 🤧

“you should’ve stayed buried” <- RIGHT HERE YOUR HONOR!!!! THIS WAS THE MOMENT!!! THE POINT OF NO RETURN FOR ME 🫠

up until s2 i had been waiting to see swk really fuck shit up bc he is one of the most op characters ever written and he’s such a fun guy in general, so to see him go from teasing DBK to THREATENING LBD WAS SO GOOD!!!!

I BELIEVE IN PROTECTIVE!SWK SUPREMACY 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐 I BELIEVE IN SWK HOLDING BACK UNTIL HE KNOWS HE CANNOT (and even then he is still holding back like wtf) FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE HE CARES ABOUT 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐

i am also a firm grandpa swk believer because yeah i’m not a big fan on labeling swk as a father figure (especially to MK) but if i had to place a familial label then i dub thee Grandpappy™️ Monkey King. he’s lived long enough to earn this title (also i think swk even calls himself grandpa to his subjects in jttw but i may have heard that wrong) but i also wouldn’t say no to Distant Uncle™️

but yeah, swk <3 he’s my little guy 🥰 my special murder boy 🥰 my precious “consumed by past regrets that span over centuries” guy 🥰 my “i have lived for a long, long time” immortal

[itsamenickname]

WE ARE ALMOST AT THE FINISH LINE FOR THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE™️ AND I CAN ALREADY SEE PEOPLE FORMING ANGRY MODS OUTSIDE, I MYSELF AM CARRYING A DARE A SAY LOVELY PITCHFORK‼️ SO HOW ARE YOU FEELING⁉️ EXCITED, THE PEOPLE WANNA KNOW‼️🎙✨

Oh boy, I cannot WAIT to see the mind-blowing sex Luigi and Bowser are going to have in the post credits. XD

Okay, all jokes aside, I am actually really excited to see the movie! :) Even though Nintendo won't make Bowuigi canon (which I'm a little sad about, but it makes a lot of sense why they wouldn't make it canon), I'm still very pumped to see the interactions/scenes I know we'll see in the movie such as:

Mario and Peach's slow-burn friendship and maybe eventually relationship

Bowser's possible father-son relationship with Kamek (and honestly any scenes with Jack Black in general will be amazing because he is going to be a fantastic Bowser)

Interactions between Mario and DK (it's been a while since Mario has interacted with DK, so I'm interested to see where Nintendo will take their relationship)

The penguins and Lumalee (Lumalee is a small little ball or horror and I love him for it. XD)

The brotherly love/wholesome moments between Mario and Luigi

and of course:

I cannot wait to see this precious innocent boy up on the big screen.

(Note: I know that there are better pictures I could've used, but I've been trying (and kind of failing) to avoid any spoilers to the movie for a little while now.)

So yea, those are pretty much my overall thoughts on the movie. The way the characters (and everything else) look are amazing, the voice casting are awesome (still kind of in the middle on Christ Pratt, but that's a conversation for another day), and the movie plot is a fun twist for Nintendo to take. :)

I'll still be greatly upset though if Nintendo doesn't acknowledge Luigi's red-striped socks, haha. 😆

[therhythmafterthesummer]

Hi! I have honestly been a fan for a while, but I get so ridiculously nervous about interacting so I never do 💀 However, I do love your work🩷 wereroomies is just 🤌🏻 absolute chef’s kiss for sure. Your writing is absolutely fantastic.

Anyway, I do have just a few questions so I’m sorry for how long this gonna be. This might be totally silly to ask (and you might’ve definitely answered this before and I just couldn’t find it because I’m blind™️), but did Chris have a complete emotional come apart when he first imprinted on pretty? Like did he do it on accident as an in-the-moment type of thing and then silently freak out and pretty is just like ??? Why is he acting so strange??? I feel like he would’ve been emotional during it so was it something pretty was just completely oblivious to?

On a similar note, would Chris react the same way to marking pretty? Honestly, I’m so curious about them. I love the duo way too much🩷

Does autumn ever tell Changbin anymore about what happened at her previous pack? I know he’s definitely not one to push, but did she ever have some bad nights where all she wanted to do was just tell someone to help kind of get it off her chest? I thought about this a lot when reading Heat since stress was the big underlying factor for her.

Also, I can’t stop thinking about Lee Know accidentally rumbling??? Like, my head just kind of spirals. Wowee.

I honestly can’t wait for the rest of the boys’ stories. I feel like Han is gonna be one to just fall so ridiculously hard and fast for someone, but it’s almost completely unexpected by him that he kinda freaks out. The kind to go running to Lee Know like “oh fuck what do I do?” And Lee Know is just ??? Uh… tell them??? Just asdfghjkl he’s so cute it’s ridiculous. Seungmin I’m sure is going to act so nonchalant about falling in love with his partner and yet man is he absolutely wrecked by how much he loves them. The kind to unintentionally (but completely intentionally) do that cute ‘see if my work crush likes me and puts their hand on the counter to keep me from bumping my head when I stand up from looking in the cabinet’ trend. Ugh I literally can’t handle it. Jeongin I feel like he has to fall in love over time, but he doesn’t realize it. Everyone in the pack points it out and he’s just like huh??? That’s my bestie, what’d’ya mean??? It ends up hitting him like a ton of bricks. Honestly just ARGH I cannot wait for their pieces.

Again I absolutely LOVE your writing🩵 please lmk if I’m just completely blind and you’ve already answered these questions. I need new glasses anyway so I would not be upset, promise🩷 keep up the amazing work!✨

so, the act of imprinting is something that happens involuntarily, actually! so it wasn't like.. Chris chose to imprint. he just... did.

he didn't know it at the time, but the moment he imprinted was the moment he saw pretty the first time when she wanted to see the flat (it happens in Alpha Dog). those three realisations of him when he saw her, were all triggered by him imprinting.

then, also in Alpha Dog, we see the exact moment he realises he had imprinted. the exact quote is:

"So it was right then, right as he looked at the soft, focused features of your face when you massaged his scalp, that he realised that the universe had really made you all for him, perfect just for him". there are a couple of paragraphs after this that also illustrate the fact. in any case, i don't think Chris particularly had a moment of panic the next day when he fully accepted that he had, in fact, imprinted. he just kind of... accepted it, but as we know from Afraid to Lose You, he simply didn't want to force that on pretty (which was a bit dumb on his part, considering that, if he had imprinted, she would've imprinted on him, too. they are literal soulmates).

as for Chris' reaction if he ever gets to claim pretty and mark her.... i guess you'll have to wait and see 👀

i do think that Autumn has told Changbin a great deal about his former pack. she's probably opened up about it only to him and the other girls at the den, but Changbin is probably the one that knows the most. and it all makes his blood boil, but he tries to not let it show much so she doesn't stress about it. he wants her to tell him these things, to let him help her carry the burden of her trauma, y'know?

Minho rumbling.... so incredibly cute. i wonder if he's ever done it out of his rut... very unlikely, but who knows 👀

i love love love your take on how the future partners of the three wolves left would be.... can't tell you if they match what i have planned for each of them, but i certainly enjoy seeing what you think ahahahha

i'm glad you like my works, bb. glad you pushed through your nervousness and decided to reach out! i really appreciate your message, you know i love answering questions about any of my AUs hahah

wait stay by my side is good??? and no one told me??? or maybe i keep confusing stay by side and stay with me lol

as someone who is all caught up on both shows - they're both fun 😄

this ask is from three days ago when I talked about how stay by my side (taiwanese show about a boy who can hear ghosts and the guy who gives him a break through touch) had a very fun sixth episode. i wasn't into the show that much but ep.6 gave me some heart-fluttering moments and cute angst that I neither took seriously nor disliked - it was fun for me because of the execution, the fact I don't take anything happening in the show to heart and because the show is short enough so I sensed a resolution was coming very soon 😁

now ive seen episode 7 as well and I can say 6 is definitely my fave. the conflicts are predictable, theres nothing really new but thats what goves you the safe feeling - you dont risk breaking your heart watching it haha. i'd recommend this in case you want a quick sweet watch with "cute silly boy denying his feelings" and "cold rude guy turned passionate suitor". it's the lightest watch i've seen in a while and it's my palette cleanser these days (everything I watch is angsty apparently and the angst supreme™️ trio of loa, of and dr hasn't even reared its ugly head yet lol)

stay with me (the og title of which I find real cute: "gege, don't run") is as far as I know a remake of addicted - a chinese bl that was Very direct in regards to what it's about and therefore got canceled AND banned and the main actors - banned from interacting with each other on tv or at public events for years; I thought swm would be a story set in the same universe or smth but as I watched the first episode I kept getting deja vu until I realised it's the same plot lol

it's about two teens whose dad and mom, respectively, got together - the boys claim to hate each other before they even meet, then fate brings them together without them recognizing each other and shenanigans ensue. it's about found family, finding common ground with parents you can't communicate with, about forgiveness and acceptance. the characters are very lovable <3 the crew is doing their best fighting censorship so it's very clear that the couple are not just bros. they can't, however, do what addicted did so many might prefer the 2016 show. I, personally, was not a fan of the mains in that - wu bi is too possessive for me in this version but his predecessor was Something Else

it's a very standard modern mainland china show. the reason im mentioning this is because of clips on tt and having not seen a cdrama in a while, i had the impression itd be more like a taiwanese or korean bl. the editing, dubbing, bizarrely cut scenes - nothing new in cdrama land. i was wondering if I would recommend it but I think I would, yes. some coincidences and plot points are just so beyond belief that you'd roll your eyes but it's not smth unheard of when it comes to asian dramas haha and I think you'd get so caught up in the angst, domesticity and hunting down hints spread around like easter eggs that you just won't mind the convenient plots (if you would care bout such a thing in the first place)

I'm doing a bad job at promoting this show but I do want more people to see it. the cast is perfect imo (..except for duo duo, I'm sorry but that bby cannot act..her face and aura suit the character though), the sets are all amazing (I like the school, I like su yu's home, I like the shared space later on etc.etc., all decor is very well picked and pleasant to the eye) and the moral of the story is heartwarming, its execution too.

you get passionate hot-headed athletic rich boy who's crazy for his equally smitten furrow-browed genius humble guy - they both value family and each other very much and are willing to do everything for those close to them. it's very endearing and their dynamic is swoonworthy, they're a complete power couple.

(also, spoiler, you get enemies to friends to lovers which is pretty neat)(the spark is there from day 1 tho)

EDIT: i wrote this before the final two episodes were released so disclaimer - POST FINALE SPOILER: if you don't like open endings, esp distressing ones, i don't advise you watch it now - better wait for a secure second season

lmao I've been chronically online lately so let's just say that your manifesting 🍙🍙🍙 worked to put you on my feed but anyways- WAHHHHH I WAS JUST COMPILING MY SPAM REPLY BUT I NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST FIRST WHEN I SAY I DID A DOUBLE-TAKE SEEING THIS ON THE TL

WE'RE BACK FROM THE DROUGHT BABYYYY

the see you 0613 almost brought tears to my eyes GOD esp after seeing this on the tl today: https://x.com/murakamiko2/status/1796191153714327680?s=19 I CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR YOONJIN REUNION 💜💜

pls the way you had an onigiri shout-out for this moment god woman I adore you <3

IT REALLY IS HAPPENING i cannot believe he'll be home so soon 😭 back just in time for their anniversary and we'll get to spend it with him, i love this so much. the song dropping on my birthday i'm pretty sure will be another jk army song (that he "spoiled" before he left) gahhh i'm buzzing (tho idk if anything will top still with you). catch me crying while listening to take two on repeat until jin is officially home; it remains one of my favorite bangtan songs and jin's "can't you see the take two, letters i didn't send to you" is one of my favorite lines that he's ever sung. i actually have a jin amnesia series that i started almost 2 years ago and haven't touched since november 2022 lol hopefully his return will inspire me to really start working on that again. YOONJIN 😭 let's keep our fingers crossed that jin will be able to coax yoongi out of hiding for a selca at least bc idk how much more i can take of not seeing him until 2025 😭 i know i have a whole bangtan blog but idk talking about bangtan with you here feels more special somehow, like we have our own secret language that no one understands 🥺

thank you so much i am so grateful for you 😭 i really enjoy writing seungmin! i've got a couple seungmin wips i'm working on so hopefully those will deliver as well hehehehe

this is kinda giving groveling husband who's racking his brain trying to figure out how to make it up to you after he started a stupid argument earlier. the drabble from the other day is coming soon 😈 and also the full length fic for pining best friend hyunjin that i'm hoping to finish in june !!

oh mimo :((( i was just on a mini aespa binge earlier today heheh. i'll take any enha x skz crumbs i can get, and a jayke x mimo at that too ?? 😭 i will eat it UP. the fact that both mimo and jay are cats is so cute to me. i really am just drawn to all the cat bois now 🥹 (idk if you go there aka any svt space but i've been kinda Looking™️ at wonwoo too and... it's not good for my mental health)

for the locals, i am still taking what is your favorite story of mine? asks !!!
