one piece x steven universe au where instead of being a crystal gem, luffy is sort of a rogue who flies around in a spaceship adventuring through space and making/recruiting friends on different planets and gem colonies, he was inspired by earthlings and now he wants to live freely without the constraints of gem roles and expectations (tagging this with #gem piece)

finally opened the twst app in a few weeks after getting into obey me sweats

[keii]

Zen being the coveting third wheel in Yoosung and MC's relationship, but yet they're still friends lmao

[incorrect-ikevamp-quotes]

I need to scream about this event (Friends Like These) because I truly was just. Not expecting the impact it would have--I don't remember if I read this one in Japanese???

I've only gotten the first two stories so far but I just.

Jeanne and Mozart are of course, as adorable as ever; there's no question about that. But Jeanne dropping this line:

"It galls me to sound so much like le Comte, but I am grateful to God that I met you."

I. [prolonged error 404 sounds]. I'm not sure there are words to convey the simultaneous endless wheezing laughter but also AWWWWWWWW energy that consumed me in milliseconds. Wildly oscillating between "LMFAO ah yes, sentimentality? Disgusting I'll drink to that (blasts Bring Me To Life)" and "BECAUSE YOU LOVE HIM DEEP DOWN AND HE LOVES YOU WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."

I just can't get over how Jeanne says exactly one thing about liking another person and he's like, 'ew dad gave me cooties >:///// how dare he subject me to the mortifying ordeal of hope.' Jeanne I love you. Jeanne I would die for you. Middle schooler with well-meaning stepfather who begrudgingly accepts his kindness and grows for the better, but would rather perish than admit it. I never knew I needed this found family dynamic so freaking bad until I started playing this game. 11/10 I could watch this forever

More Shenanigans below the cut, + the Shakespeare and Comte Event Story:

Also a sidebar because I just can't help myself, I know I've talked about it before but: Mozart and Jeanne's friendship is so endlessly precious to me????? I love how Mozart is so NO I'M NOT NICE REEEEE (turtles) and Jeanne is like :> bestie. It's so damn cute watching Mozart squirm at being exposed for being sweet and Jeanne just truly grateful someone cares about him?????? How much Jeanne and MC dote on Mozart despite being together, how it only strengthens their friendship? Literally I'm over the moon, nobody touch me I'm tender!!! Jeanne deserves to live peacefully without being a tool of the state/bad actors!!!! Mozart deserves to be loved and happy without being defined by his musical success!!!!!

LIKE. Not to be dramatic but I could watch an entire saga of these two being friends and being adorable. Fresh serotonin every single time. Did I know Jeanne was going to share his food? Absolutely. Did I expect MC to think ahead and pack two lunches? Absolutely not. Was I delighted both times? Beyond what you can imagine!!!!!!!

I'm going to stop here at the risk of repeating myself over and over but wow. Jeanne's capacity to see to the very core of people, for better and worse, and how it lets Mozart be meaningfully seen. Mozart's recognition that Jeanne can mean well to a fault, worried that he might be taken advantage of--and how Jeanne can build trust with someone for the first time without being afraid. Can you hear me wailing and bawling

Naturally, I acquired the Comte and Shakespeare one next. Now, I'm gonna be honest, I saw their names together and went "oh dear God. What am I walking into. Why do I hear boss music????" But I gathered my courage (more like I'm just too feral not to gather info abt Comte, but I digress) and experienced something that left me literally on the floor because I just. Did Not Remotely Expect This Series of Events.

So like. It starts off by being pretty normal and cute and I'm like awwww baby boy (oh he's a little fked up actually) giving gifts to dad. I'm sensing an ulterior motive but right now just let me have this. Also adorable that Comte is struck dumb by it, that's really cute I'm taking notes. And then. I was hit with the veritable ANVIL that was these next few lines:

deep breath Okay. Where to begin.

I LOST IT at the implication that Will was like. Holding back from ending Comte's entire life with mere words. WILL????? WILL P L S??????? (lowkey wanted to hear the roast snickers) Why am I sensing a pattern that Comte loves spicy people??? Love this for me

I also started losing my shit the second MC was mentioned and you could just hear the record scratch/kill bill sirens. Comte really out here like "son say WHAT about MC." I can't get over how he's always so ready to throw down for both MC and Sebas at any moment. Anywho, naturally I come to the conclusion that Will was just trying to one-up Comte to mess with him by giving MC gifts. It was the one thing I did anticipate--and, fool that I was--thought it rendered me safe from what happens next.

DEAR READER. DEAR READER I WAS SO WRONG. I WAS SO TERRIBLY WRONG.

BABY GIRL. BABY GIRL ON WHAT LEVEL IS THIS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. I'M LITERALLY CRYING RN?????? THE FACT THAT I CAN'T TELL IF HE'S JUST BEING SILLY GOOFY OR HE LEGITIMATELY MEANS IT OR SOME COMBINATION OF THE TWO????????

Mans out here like "I lost everything in the war (literally) let me spoil my girlboss dream gf in peace. Vlad took everything in the divorce let me have this pls." I just. The mental image of him chasing Will around the house. The potential implications of him doing this to protect them both (I love you Will but you have. Problems). The HILARIOUS AND DUBIOUS qualifier when he says "dressing up MC is nearly my entire reason for living." Comte I love you more than life itself but that does not make this any more normal. What are you doing my beloved vampire jkhlhalfdhjfg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also an honorable mention moment, because it was endearing:

Just the img of him wandering around with sparkly eyes and toting home little trinkets for everyone??????? He's so cute, that's the most grandpa behavior I've ever seen. I was chortling when Will was like "sir you made me sit in that cluttered carriage followed by another carriage full of stuff all the way home IT'S TIME FOR REVENGE (affectionate)."

I also love how Comte is like "Do I have a problem? Maybe. Will that stop me? Only when the sun cataclysmically swallows the earth."

Literally half of the members of the house are like "why are you like this" and he just heeheehoos his way out of it. How does he keep getting away with it. Can you tell I love him. Dazai isn't the only clown in this house honks Comte's nose

[herotome]

I just wanna say as a self proclaimed crybaby i greatly appreciate the crying scene. Like Yes my goto response to conflict is to burst into tears and it's just so validating to see that in a vn give it up for the emotionally volatile girlies /lh

LOL mannnn absolutely, it's important to me to put in a slew of dialogue options that rly capture instinctive, earnest reactions alongside the more neutral/possibly repressed choices

Assuming we're not playing in a constant state of explosive emotional crisis, the game won't really punish you for having an 'imperfect' response here or there. We're all gonna have moments where don't quite have it all together!

[kierancaz]

Why is every bitch in these fics CRYING. They always crying and I don’t get it like yah he called u his wife that’s awesome but no need to CRY OVER IT ??? AT DINNER ???? WITH HIS FUCKING FAMILY THERE??? Like yah he said that he loves u back and you’ve been pining for him for years WHY ARE YOU IN TEARS RIGHT NOW ?? QUIT IT U CRYBABY STOP

[sleepymrshmllow]

something I don't understand is commenting negatively on a post that is clearly positive ?

I had someone qrt my post of stolas talking about how annoying his voice is and that blitz needs to get far away from him-

why not like make your own post or engage with like minded people at that point ?

[peonyblossom]

[gifti3]

okay im back with more for this arranged marriage AU! Heres the last thing i wrote

this time i made something longer--Asmo and MC doing their little meeting/date before agreeing to marriage its fun check it out :]

the only warning is "an upset asmo getting in ur personal space'" other than that i think thats it!

Tomorrow you were supposed to meet your possible future fiancé. This type of affair was not a first time thing for you so you already had an idea of how things would go. Which was the two of you being forced to interact for several hours.

Though you knew what was coming, was it not possible to be a little nervous considering who it was you were meeting?

Asmodeus Morningstar--one of the most influential families in Nefarelin. Their was no shortage of exceptional members in that tree. And to be crass, every other potential spouse you met before were like dried leaves in comparison.

And this didn't even factor Asmodeus's own appeal and popularity. You'd only seen him in passing a few times but you could tell he was quite beautiful even from a distance. On top of that, the general public were strangely obsessed with him. You weren't completely sure why, but he must be very likeable if that's the case.

God, how many people have probably asked for his hand in marriage by now? You could only wonder.

All around it would be pretty foolish to turn this down. And that's why you were nervous…. Your parents were giving you a choice. But it was one of those choices where the answers were 'yes' or 'hmm, okay I suppose'. You did not want to know what would happen if you dare declined.

You'd already considered the logistics of this situation, dwelled on it for days. And it would definitely be a loveless marriage from your side. And that was something normal…but you were fine with how your life was currently! You didn't want to deal with any expectations romantic or otherwise from a spouse.

And what about Asmodeus.

He was well loved by many, had a reputation for enjoying the nightlife and being the center of attention. It seemed highly unlikely that a man like him was looking to "settle down" all of a sudden!

Your hands stop fiddling with your hair.

Wait.

Maybe this arrangement could work.

~

God this is so uncomfortable.

Maybe you underestimated Asmodeus. For some reason the first time your eyes met his saccharine ones, you struggled with maintaining contact. Each time, it felt like he was staring straight into your mind.

Perhaps it was just your nerves but either way you were overwhelmed. You didn't feel like yourself so had trouble talking.

Luckily for you, Asmodeus didn't notice or didn't care as he had been talking nonstop this entire time.

"Hellooo?"

"Oh--sorry what did you say?"

Asmodeus repeats his question while fanning himself. "I asked if you wanted to rest for a minute. I need a break from the sun."

"Okay…"

It was sunny today but not too hot to take a walk. Though you had been outside for a good while with Asmodeus. You both make your way to a gazebo that provided good shade around this time of day.

You rest your elbows on on of the railings and prop your head in your hands. A small sigh escapes you.

"Can you make it any more obvious that you don't want to be here?"

Asmodeus rests a small distance away, smiling but you're not so sure if he's being lighthearted about it.

It was a fair observation. These meetings always felt like a waste of time to you. They were forced interactions. The worst type. And you already knew you'd agree with the arranged marriage at the end anyways.

"Sorry, I'm just a little tired."

You look back at him and try to give a friendly(?) smile. Actually why not just be straightforward now?

"It's kind of hard to believe you want to get married. It doesn't seem like something that would interest someone like you."

"Eh…I guess there comes a time in everyone's life where they think about these things."

Very vague.

Asmodeus leans back in his chair, looking up as if he's scraping through his brain. "But I don't recall running into you beforehand. I definitely would have remembered…so how would you know that?"

"I've heard a lot about you. Kind of impossible not to."

You had a bit of an idea about him before this whole situation. But once it got out that he was "interested" in proposing, well the maids had no problem telling you everything they knew. It was definitely not all true, but it pretty much confirmed what you already felt.

"That makes sense. Isn't it great that now you get to experience me in person instead of by word-of-mouth~"

"…Uh huh. Well I feel like I should tell you now. That I plan to say yes."

"Say yes?"

"Say yes to marrying you."

You watch for any negative reactions but nothing. Though you were still sure he wasn't really interested in marriage.

"…Oh?"

"Listen I understand if you were forced into this position. In fact, I'm sure that you were. And to be honest I've never been partial to marriage myself. I always thought it wasn't in the cards for me…"

You take a step away from the railing closer to Asmodeus. "But wouldn't it be foolish to say no? Outside of the benefits it would have for my family. You're definitely one of the most sought after bachelors…and well just look at you. I'm almost a little envious…"

Asmodeus's curious face changes to something else. Something you can't really place your finger on. You just knew he didn't look very pleased.

"Well at least I know you're not blind." His fingers play with his fringe. "And that's all fine and dandy but…"

When Asmodeus stands and looks back at you your heart skips a beat. You take a step back as he takes one forward. "I hope you're ready to handle me because I don't think you can."

Oh my god what was happening?

You were frozen in place as Asmodeus trapped you against the railing between his arms. You didn't even think to push him away and just stood there stupidly.

"I-I…"

Rustling sounds from a nearby hedge, but when you both look in the direction of the noise there's giggling and the sound of retreating people.

You sigh. At least someone was enjoying the show.

You gently push at Asmodeus's chest so you can make space.

"Sorry sometimes the staff gets bored haha…er should we h-head back?"

"If that's what you want."

Asmodeus turns away from you. "I just want you to know that since this marriage is just a title I'll be sticking to my usual. Hope you don't mind~" He walks away humming to himself.

Your brows furrow…that man. Why'd he have to do all that? You weren't expecting anything different in the first place?

You let out a huge sigh. Was this going to be the norm from now on?

Well at least you both were on the same page about the marriage…. but you couldn't help but think a serious misunderstanding just occurred.

i think aphmau as a character didnt fully staaart as a self insert but became one the moment aaron got introduced / jason started voicing aaron 🙃

my blog is for the uptight, loud, annoying bitches who are told they can't take a joke, the terribly terribly sad people who mask their grief and loneliness with rage, the “just like your father” girlies, and the mean girls who want to be kind so so so bad but its incredibly hard to curb the poison in their mouth !

halloween special

characters: jade leech x gn! reader wc: 2.1k warnings: none? i dont think so anyway a/n: i meant to post this on halloween but it wasn’t finished so you get this for jade’s bday 🥰 this might be ooc idk…i also used a halloween prompt for this so i’ll link it

Halloween night at Ramshackle dorm is quiet, well…it was quiet. It had been quiet for a total of 3 minutes and 27 seconds before Grim burst through the door and into the living room. He skids to a stop in front of where you’re seated on the couch. He jumps up and yells, bragging about the desserts he managed to sneak out from the Halloween festival that the school was hosting.

“Why’d ya leave the party so early anyway? You left before the the party got good!” Grim hops up onto the couch, making you clutch your legs closer beneath the blanket you’re curled under. Your arm rests on the armrest of the couch, cheek in your palm as you watch Grim scarf down the contraband.

“I was tired, Grim. While you may have been a fan of the clout you received from all the magicam freaks, I am definitely drained.”

He yawns and sinks into the couch, continuing to stuff his face with the sweets. “Either way, you missed a good party and even better food.” He pauses as he notices you’re in your pjs. “Hey, where’s your costume?”

“Oh, I took it off as soon as I got back to the dorm. Grim, like I said…I’m tired. Now please, leave me alone will you?”

Grim scowls but hops off the couch. “Yeesh, it’s Halloween…lighten up!” He takes a swipe at your blanket as you throw a pillow at him and pull the blanket toward you. Grim races to his room, clearly in a rush to eat the delicacies by himself. God, he’s so stingy.

“So annoying,” you whisper to yourself as you try to find the comfortable position you were in before Grim so rudely interrupted your peace and quiet. And as you scrolled through the scary movies playing on the TV to see which one appealed to you, a knock rang on your door.

“Grim! Are you expecting anyone?!” Of course, no response. You sigh, kicking the blanket off and walking toward the door. Three knocks are heard once more after a brief pause. The knock almost sounds polite, yet demanding that the door be opened. You look through the peephole and see Jade Leech standing while holding a cellophane bag between his clasped hands. True to the knocking, he looks like a gentleman.

You open the door and give a small smile. “Hey, Jade. Were we expecting you?”

Jade steps forward and pauses, a silent plea for you to allow him in. He looks at you as he waits for you to decide. Almost instantly you step back, letting him walk into the foyer of the dorm. He smiles graciously, courteous smile never leaving his face as you lead him toward the living room.

“No, you were not expecting me. I came on my own will.” He tails behind you as you maneuver your way to the couch. His proximity made you a little nervous, not because you were afraid of him, but because you and Jade had a bit of a…situation. You weren’t exactly sure if you were reading too much into the comments he made when he was with you, but you felt like he was trying to tell you something!

“I didn’t mean to come off as rude, by the way, I just wasn’t expecting to see you at this hour.” You motion for him to sit beside you on the couch, moving the blanket aside so he’s not uncomfortable.

He chuckles, and that little polite laugh of his makes the butterflies in your stomach swirl like crazy. “No need to worry, I didn’t take it that way. I’m here because I have something for you.” He shifts in his spot so he faces you completely and extends the hand that was holding the bag toward you. “I noticed you left the event early and that you probably didn’t get the chance to taste the dessert, so I thought I’d bring some for you.”

You look down at his extended hand and grab the bag, your fingers brushing against his. You both smile, eyes lifting to gaze at each other momentarily before looking away. “You know sneaking out the food wasn’t allowed right?” You peek into the goodie bag and honestly, you’re glad he snuck some of the food out for you. It smells delicious.

He smiles, one that shows all of his teeth in their pointy glory. “I’m aware, but I could not let you go without tasting these.” Jade begins to stand, clearly feeling like he’s overstaying the visit. You reach out a hand to stop him while glancing over at a clock on the wall.

“Hey, Jade?”

He stands before you and waits for you to continue. “Yes?”

“It’s not that late…do you wanna stay and watch a movie or something??”

He gives a sly smile and quirks an eyebrow. “Or something?” Your cheeks burn as you look down, the ground suddenly very intriguing.

“I mean- well I was looking for a movie before you got here. And you brought me so many snacks that I think it’d be best if we share while watching something.”

He moves the blanket so that he can sit beside you. “I agree with that sentiment, prefect.” He takes his seat beside you, seemingly unfazed.

While you try to look for a movie, Jade’s presence is very much in your face. Well, it feels that way. He’s calmly sitting beside you, holding the sweets that you handed back to him so you could find a movie. Jade points at one of the titles of a horror movie that had come out earlier this year. “What about that one? I have heard it is good.”

“Oh really?” You turned to look at him, his physical proximity making you nervous. He’s so close to you, my god he’s pretty. His arm is brushing against yours and you swear he can feel you shaking. Jade nods in response to your question, so you click on the movie, not actually caring whether the movie is good or not.

“Care for a dessert?” Jade holds his hand out, goodie bag in his palm.

“The movie hasn’t started yet, let’s give it a few minutes.” You leave the living room to grab beverages and return in record time. After setting the drinks on the end table, you sit beside Jade. While you’re trying to give him his personal space, he doesn’t mind leaning in close. If anything, he keeps scooting closer while you try to keep a sliver of space between the two of you.

You can feel the warmth radiating off his skin, how his arm brushes against yours, how his hand slowly inches your way. The movie keeps rolling in the background, and Grim’s annoying snores can be heard down the hall-he’s definitely under a food coma. Jade looks in the direction of the hall, slyly smirking at Grim’s snores. “That will be a joy to sleep with.”

You groan, rolling your eyes as you sink into the couch and further under the blanket you crawled under at the start of the movie. “Don’t remind me.”

Jade peers down at you, playful remark on the tip of his tongue. “Okay, I will not.” Once again, he holds out the bagged sweets, seemingly wanting to change topics.

“Why are you so persistent?”

He raises an eyebrow. “About?”

You motion toward the bag with your eyes, looking at the bag for a brief second before meeting his gaze again. “About that.”

He clears his throat and sits up. “Ah, about this.” Jade holds the bag open as you reach in to grab one of the desserts, both of you staring intently at each other until you lean back once you’ve grabbed the delicacy.

He takes in a breath, holding it as he watches you take a bite. “I made them.”

Your eyes widen for a split second, until you recall that he’s a skilled chef, despite him denying his talent. “Why am I not surprised-but wait…”

Jade waits for you to continue, eyeing you intently. “I thought the school was preparing the food for the Halloween festival, not the students?”

He sinks into the couch, leaning in closer. “You are correct.” You wait for him to continue since it sounds like he’s only halfway through an explanation, but the latter half is never said.

“You made these for me specifically, didn’t you? You definitely didn’t snag these from the party like you said earlier.”

He turns his body so he’s facing you more directly. He’s about to open his mouth when another knock is heard at the door, this one sounding a little harsher, desperate. Your eyes dart from the TV to the door, the knocking only increasing in volume.

Jade looks at you expectantly. “Are you not going to open the door?” He tilts his head, making him look innocent. Not that he looks guilty, but Jade’s polite attitude seems a little excessive sometimes.

You shake your head, feeling the slightest bit uneasy as the knocks on the door seem to be timed perfectly to the current scene on the TV. “Nah, whoever is at the door can come back tomorrow.”

The music is picking up, clearly indicating there’s about to be a jump scare in the movie. It’s just your luck that you suddenly feel like you’re in a real life scary movie. Another knock is heard, this time on the window.

“I believe you should check who’s at the door, prefect.” Jade pauses the movie, fully expecting you to stand up from the couch.

You lean away so that you can get a good look at his face. “Are you crazy?! I’m not answering that door! That’s exactly what happens at the start of all of those movies, right before the killer gets in and-”

You’re stopped mid sentence when Floyd bursts into a fit of laughter. When Floyd managed to sneak into your dorm, you’ve no idea, but he definitely was not accompanying Jade when you let him inside.

Floyd stands up from behind the couch you and Jade are seated in, clutching his sides as he laughs. “You scare so easily, Shrimpy!”

You stand up and glare at the tweels, Floyd laughing unashamedly while Jade hides his small smile behind his hand. “You were in on this, weren’t you?”

Jade stands up, hand splayed on his chest. “Are you accusing me, prefect? Are you accusing me after all I did was bring you homemade sweets?”

Floyd frowns. “You’ve hurt my poor brother’s feelings Shrimpy, this is bad.”

You roll your eyes, not in the mood to deal with the twins’ antics. “And I thought I was the dramatic one.”

Jade drops his hand to his side, stepping closer to you. “May I apologize?”

It’s your turn to raise an eyebrow questioningly. “You’re not one to apologize, Jade Leech. Now can the both of you leave?” You point toward your door.

Jade is somewhat annoyed because while he did enjoy the prank Floyd pulled, he’s not happy that it ruined the intimate moment you and he were sharing. He’d have to speak to Floyd once they’d returned to their own dorm, but for now he’ll pretend like he was in on the prank the whole time. Jade was not one to be made a fool of nor was he a fan of being interrupted. At least he knows how to get back on your good side.

Like the gentleman he is, he stayed behind to help you clean after having sent Floyd to the dorm. You’re standing in the foyer while Jade stands outside your door. “Thank you for inviting me into your home.”

You snort. “And thank you for ruining the mood with your silly little prank. How did Floyd even get in?”

He shrugs, hands clasped together in the usual Jade Leech fashion. “As I asked before, may I apologize?”

“You’re asking me if you can apologize? Why would you need my permission?”

Stepping into the foyer upon your short interrogation, he bursts your bubble as he, once again, invades your personal space. He tucks a few strands of hair behind your ear, caressing your cheek with his knuckles as he smiles.

“I will only ask once more. May I apologize?”

He’s knocked the breath out of you, and all you can do is nod. His smile widens for a brief second, his sharp teeth on display for a moment before he presses a tantalizing kiss to the corner of your lips. Damned the way he toys with you.

He steps outside so quick you’re not sure if he actually kissed you or if you imagined it. In the blink of an eye, his hands are clasped once again and is standing up straight as he smiles his usual, polite smile.

“Happy Halloween, prefect. I hope you enjoy the rest of your night.”

And with that, he walks away, leaving you questioning what happened between the two of you on Halloween night in the Ramshackle dorm.
