something something you were so desperate for a way out of your terrible situation you made a wish that turned you into something other and then time rewound and you discovered you were not the protagonist of this story but merely a supporting actor.

Matchablossom fic but it's a braindump cause I can't write a full fic right now

Joe is the first one to realize his feelings. He almost feels his heart stop as it hits him. He's in love with Cherry. He's been in love with Cherry for a long time. It doesn't take long for him to wish he hadn't realized, everything changes. If he acted on it, he risks losing Cherry because Cherry probably doesn't feel the same...right?

No, nope. Can't get caught up in that thought. Besides, they never really talk about each others feelings like that so how'd he even say it? He couldn't even get one word out before Cherry raced Adam. It's best to just leave things as is, he's been in love with Cherry this whole time so he just keeps doing the usual. It'll be fine...yeah.

Time goes on, things are for the most part normal, but it's starting to show that something is eating away at Joe. Cherry isn't sure how to bring it up, they never really talk about this stuff after all. The others haven't noticed but they don't really know Kojiro like he does.

"So, I've seen you're losing your touch." "What?" "You haven't had as many women hanging off your arms. Are they finally realizing you're a gorilla?" "HEY I've just been busy that's all, and why the hell do you care." "Because maybe with your focus off getting some action every weekend you'll make better food." "Are you saying the food I make now isn't good?" "Your words not mine." "Then, why do you keep coming here asshole if you think my cooking is that bad!" "You're the closest Italian restaurant and I know at the very least you'll get my order right." "Whatever."

He puts Cherry's order in front of him and walks back to the kitchen, throwing his hands up. Cherry wouldn't admit it, but Joe's cooking had gotten better. He was a great chef before, but something must've changed in his technique. The ingredients were all the same, the presentation was identical to what it'd always been, but recently every order Cherry got tasted better than before.

Joe had also begun to say Cherry's order before he could, even if it was different that day. Out of annoyance, Cherry ordered something completely out of his usual tastes. Joe raised an eyebrow and scoffed,

"You're gonna hate it, just get the carbonara like you always do." "Just make my order already, I want to try something else." "Alright, don't say I didn't warn you."

It arrives and...Cherry hates it. He tries to eat it and put on his best poker face but it's just not what he wants. It's well made, but he hates the taste and texture. Suddenly, a plate of carbonara is placed in next to him. It had only been a minute.

"Even I can't watch your suffering like that." "I've only taken a few bites you buffoon." "Yeah and it's written all over your face that you hate it. I had your carbonara made at the same time. Enjoy princess."

Joe takes the other plate and walks off again. Cherry watches him leave. There's a strange flutter in his chest.

Eventually something happens with Joe, something related to his restaurant that does get resolved but Cherry is worried for Joe the whole time. It's similar to how Joe was before his race against Adam so Cherry doesn't quite know how to express his worry to Joe. Paired with how weird Joe is starting to get around him it's creating tension.

Their bickering starts to become full on arguments, the others are trying to figure out what's wrong between Joe and Cherry because this isn't their surface level bickering. One night in Joe's restaurant after closing they get into another heated argument but it reaches a point where someone says something that snaps them both back to reality. They realize their arguing isn't about the topic, but something else.

Joe goes to the back, Cherry is left sitting at the bar scared Joe isn't coming back. Joe walks back and goes to where Cherry is sat, skateboard in hand.

"Lets go for a ride, you and me."

Cherry follows him out with Carla. They skate together around the island in the moonlight. After a bit, Joe begins apologizing to Cherry. He doesn't confess to Cherry, but he does detail how important Cherry is to him and how stressed and worried he's been over what's been happening at the restaurant. This heartfelt admission from Joe is said the same way he spoke to Cherry when he was asleep, only this time Cherry can hear every word.

"Right, Kaoru?"

Kojiro smiles at him softly, the moonlight perfectly framing him. Kaoru is in love with him. He's deeply in love with him. His chest begins to hurt as his heart starts to fill looking at Kojiro. He's been there for him since they were kids, he's cared for him despite the bickering and Kaoru's picky attitude. He was there when Adam was still a fresh wound and when Adam hospitalized him. He could almost feel the blanket Kojiro put on him that night he escaped the hospital and slept in the restaurant. It felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest as he remembered Kojiro staying with him the whole night.

Kaoru was in love with Kojiro.

Things changed after that. Joe and Cherry weren't arguing anymore, but their bickering did have a new air to it. Joe would smile at Cherry in a not-cocky way and Cherry's ears kept turning red. Shadow teased him about it once. He quickly regretted it. No one else brought up Cherry's ears if Cherry was near after that.

Small actions begin to build up between them that start to make things more awkward. Little things that push the boundaries of their friendship. Joe wiping Cherry's face off, Cherry fixing Joe's shirt, getting close enough to where both move away with pink cheeks, and Cherry keeps calling Joe Kojiro.

One night at S, Cherry wins his race and Joe picks him up and swings him around in a hug. Cherry gets flustered and doesn't react normally. They stare at each other awkwardly for what feels like ages. Joe thinks he's done something wrong, that he's finally gone too far. He leaves S not long after, quickly. Cherry gets stopped by his fans, searching around for Joe. The others tell him Joe left already. He gets out and takes off on Carla looking for Joe.

Finally, he catches up to Joe (thank you Carla) and does a move that forces him to stop.

"The hell Kaoru! That could've crashed us!" "Talk. What's going on?"

The look on Cherry's face makes it very clear Joe can't avoid it. Joe sighs, he didn't know how he was going to say this, especially with his heart in his throat. Both of their hearts are pounding.

He begins talking about things just like he did on the night ride, but adds more. The words he's using and the way he's saying it changes the meaning they had on the night ride. His cheeks are red, he's stumbling over some words, dancing around what he really wants to say.

Kaoru can barely hear over the pounding in his chest, but he catches everything he needs to. And he's starting to get frustrated.

Just say it. Tell me Kojiro.

…Fuck it.

"Do I have to do everything myself?"

He pulls down his mask and then pulls Kojiro into a kiss. He's shocked for a moment before melting into the kiss a bit. Kaoru pulls away, flustered and avoiding Kojiro's gaze.

"There, now we kn-"

Before he can get another word out, Kojiro pulls him by the waist into another kiss. A longer one, both of them melting into it as they pull the other closer. Kaoru then feels a smile form on Kojiro's lips, before Kojiro begins to laugh a bit.

"What?" "You're a terrible kisser." "THEN WHY DID YOU KISS ME AGAIN IDIOT?!" "Cause how else are you supposed to learn pinky?"

They decide for now to keep their relationship under wraps, not because they're worried about possible homophobia but because it would attract so much unwanted attention. The top skaters at S in a romantic relationship would get a lot of eyes and questions neither want to deal with. This also means they don't tell the others immediately because SOME people cannot keep their mouths shut (shenanigans will ensue because of this).

To everyone else, it seems like they're back to normal, except they keep giving each other bedroom eyes on occasion now. For them though, their lives have just a bit more late night skating, kissing, and morning cuddles.

happy pride

[andr0nap-02]

making misha an emblem patch to match the hex :3

[californiannostalgia]

bnha does something so real, it's like "the pain was real and this rage will be known," while also going like "that is true, and because that is true, you need to stop directing your violence to the task of hatred and murder"

honestly breaking the cycle is the most thankless, effective thing a trauma survivor can do

[alkimea]

much talk about how the final challengers match had to take place in 2019 to avoid the pandemic, not enough talk about how they had to first meet tashi in 2006 for patrick and art to be able to achieve the levels of homoeroticism AND repression necessary for the plot to even take place, thank you pete wentz

I DID MY OWN HUMAN LOOP DESIGN!!!!

Notes below the cut :

NOTES!!!!!!

- Okay so the only way I can imagine post-game loop is if Siffrin wished that ”Loop could also get a happy ending” and thus Loop’s back in the same body as before the star eatining and is immedietly freaking the FUCK out!

- Wants to look like Siffrin as little as possible. They’re not him anymore.

- They get to wear a skirt because they went through a 1000 loops hoping to one day get to wear one so I think they deserve it

- also the skirt is made out of their old cloak, flipped inside out, with the upper part made into a scarf

- and now, maybe you’re asking yourself, there’s one of their pins in the scarf…. Where’s the other one? WELL ITS HELPING TO HOLD UP THEIR SHITTY DIY SKIRT!!!!

- primarily black shades to work as the opposite of Siffrin

- tiny braid!!!

- FRECKLES!!!!!

- the shitty ass boots are my fault so don’t blame them-

- AAANNNNNNNDDDD A boob window….. as a treat

- also earrings are a reference to my design for Siffrin’s mom…… don’t tell Loop, they don’t know and they would start crying.

i'll angel in the snow until i'm worthy (snow angel)

[demonstars]

dream wanted to see george cum so badly my tummy hurts. i’m so happy for him now

the mental loops he was going through just to be able to say it in a "platonic" "friendly" "bro" way were fascinating

[citadelofswords]

okay so i'm not going to publish a ton of deleted sections from my hinamizawa time loop au. but this one hurts me every time i reread it, and it's also relatively integral to the plot, so. have the end of the penultimate loop (which i did write before the final loop, and influenced mob and al's conversation at the bar) warnings for blood, discussions of murder, and. assisted suicide. i suppose. will not make sense without reading the main fic.

92

They’re on the bridge between the cars, having made it through the hall of mirrors by the skin of their teeth. The door to the next car is open, but none of them have passed through it yet. Al has folded to his knees in the middle of the bridge, still dripping blood from multiple wounds in his body, head in his hands as he shakes with tears. Shigeo kneels in front of him.

“Mob,” Al says. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I thought we made it.”

“I’m sorry too,” Shigeo says softly. “I didn’t think about you leaving the train. I wish I had sooner.”

“I just want it to be over,” Al says. His eyes are clear when he looks at Shigeo, no longer filled with the black bloodlust they’d all been seeing for hours; he can see his own grief reflected in Shigeo’s eyes. “But I can’t bring this back with me. I can’t — if I hurt my brother, or Winry, or Mei—,” He gasps, and starts crying harder.

“Al, it’s okay,” Shigeo says. He reaches out to touch Al’s neck, over the wounds there, and brings their foreheads together. “I know what happens now. I’ll fix it. I’ll make it right. One more loop won’t kill me.”

“It’s not fair,” Al whispers.

“It’s not fair to you either,” Shigeo murmurs back. “I won’t let you hurt anyone else, Al. I promise.”

Trish steps forward grimly, but a hand reaches out to stop her. “I’ll do it,” Roxas says quietly. He looks shaky on his feet, pale from bloodloss; glass is still embedded in his sides, but his expression is determined. 

“Roxas…” Audrey says. 

“If Shigeo is right then it's just been a variation on the four of you for a long time," Roxas says. “Even if none of you will remember me doing it, even if I won't remember doing it, let me take this for you. If that's okay, Alphonse." 

Al rubs his face with one hand and smiles shakily. “I guess I deserve it for nearly killing you," he says. 

“This has nothing to do with that," Roxas says. They all hear the sound of a number decreasing. His Keyblades manifest. “I’ll make it quick, I promise.”

“Don't look,” Trish says to Shigeo, tugging him away and pulling her behind him. "You don't need to see it." 

Audrey glances at her, and then squares her shoulders and turns to watch Roxas. 

“I promise, Al,” Shigeo says, desperately. "This is the last time. No more." 

“It's okay," Al says. “I believe you." 

He doesn't say anything more after that. 

There is the sound of someone snapping their fingers, and time rewinds.
