#no cronch for me for a whole week!

[auroramoon-draws16]

Crossover Bar AU crumbs ahoy!

When the Apprentice first made the bar, she was fucking with a lot of space and time bullshit, which caught a lot of attention from interdimensional beings.

So to prevent the interruption of her first solo project, she hid the bar by making it constantly moving, it jumps between dimensions, multiverses, and timelines. You can’t quite catch something that doesn’t exist where you think it is, because now it’s not and never was. Being part Cosmic Entity is fun. It was a game of keep away that the Apprentice found hilarious.

Well, once the bar was officially ready for operation, the Reader helped her find a Desmond fresh from the good ol’ Isu electric bug zapper and shoved his unassuming ass into the bar.

So yeah, the Crossover Bar is indeed an interdimensional speakeasy. That may or may not be partially alive because of the Apprentice’s cosmic magic and Desmond being the Host, but whatever.

Multiverse cops not invited >:(

Except to the interdimensional buddies who aren’t snitches. They get a free pass because they’re chill like that.

Writers are also invited btw

Donghyuck is no gentleman, is what you've learned from dating him for 2 years. At least, not to other people. 

Mark Lee says he has too much of a soft spot for you, his teasing remarks are never as harsh as it is to his other friends, and he's much more loving. 

'Then go date him,' is all you had to say to Mark, with Donghyuck giggling at the thought of dating Mark a moment later. However, you think he is right. 

You've been dating for 2 years already, and not once have you told him you love him. Of course, you do love him. With your whole heart, but it's a little hard for you to express it through words. Donghyuck had first told you by the first 6 months of your relationship, and clarified that it was okay if you didn't say it back. 

It's been a year since then, and you wonder how he's been able to keep himself back from asking you every time you kiss his cheek or nod instead of saying it back. 

As you said, Lee Donghyuck is no gentleman to others, but to you, he is the gentlest. 

Hence why he spent over 2 weeks planning this trip, the current one you're on, a little trip to the beach, after seeing how incredibly stressed you've been due to midterms. 

And now here you sit, in his trunk, watching as he picks up shells from the bay. You went on over and decided to chill in the warm heater of the car after being pushed into the water by none other than your lover. You were going to scold him, if it weren't for his giggles and cheek kisses. They make you incredibly soft. 

This whole trip has you in a daze, unable to fully grasp the fact that Donghyuck really took his time to arrange all this. Your heart swirls and your insides feel too fuzzy for you to dislike it. 

The sensations grow stronger when Donghyuck comes running back to the car with a grin, his palms all full with pretty shells. 

"Hi baby, you doing okay here?" 

You can't help but grin back, nodding. "It's warm, I like it."

He plants his lips on yours momentarily, and mumbles, "Good to know," 

Donghyuck then drops all the shells in his hands, dusting all the sand off his fingertips. "Planning on giving the guys some shells, Chenle would go crazy for these things." 

A smile curls at your lips, knowing that Chenle would indeed go crazy for shells. You don't know why though. 

"Of course, you get most of them. All the pretty ones," 

If it were even possible, your smile stretches wider, reaching your ears, and you tighten the towel around you as if it would ground you from the amount of love you feel towards Donghyuck. 

And then it hits you. The urge to say the 3 words. It's so easy, it's perfect, you feel it completely towards Donghyuck, even if he's just tossing shells into a container. 

"I love you," It slips out without you knowing, oh so naturally, and you feel complete satisfaction when you say it. Why have you never done it before? 

Donghyuck doesn't seem to notice at first, as it came out as a quiet mumble. He does realize you've said something a moment later, turning to you. "Hmm, what was that baby? I didn't catch that,"

Your heart thumps, but it's not out of nervousness, it's excitement, it's pure happiness, it's love. Your lips part, and the words slip out once again, so naturally, and it feels 10 times better than before. "I love you,"

Donghyuck stops completely in his tracks, eyes widening and lips gaped. "W-what?"

"I love you."

Donghyuck scrambles next to you, his hands trembling as he takes yours in them. His touch is soft, softer than usual, intertwining them in a lock. "You love me?"

"I love you, goddamn it!" 

A smile finally lifts his lips up, his grin brighter than ever. His eyes glisten, and you're not sure if it's because of his happiness, or the glistening of the bright sun in his eyes, or tears. You want to believe he’s just feeling happy, you wouldn’t want him to cry.

It’s a little bit too late for you to be wishing that, as he sniffles with a laugh, dragging you into his embrace as he attacks your cheeks, your nose, chin, eyelids, every inch of your skin with kisses and much love. 

His hands leave yours as you try to push him away with laughs, instead clasping at your cheeks, as he leaves a long kiss on your forehead. He pulls away, alas, but you’re sure he’s not finished. Donghyuck has tears glistening on his cheeks, but they’re far from sorrow, they’re signs of love, adoration and utmost care. 

He sighs, almost dreamily, as you softly wipe his tears away. 

“Say it again,” He murmurs into your palm. 

“I love you,” You repeat. 

“Again?”

“I love you,”

“Again.”

“Lee Donghyuck, I love you! How many times must I say it before you believe me?”

This loving smile quirks up into a playful smirk, as he taps a finger to his chin to feign contemplation. “A thousand.” 

Donghyuck grows confused when you pull away from his hug, watching as you hop back into your seat in his car trunk. A knowing grin creeps on his lips when you get comfortable, and pull out your fingers. 

“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love Lee Donghyuck, I love Donghyuck Lee, I love Peter Lee, I love my loving boyfriend whom I love–”

“Alright! I get it, you love me!” His playful and teasing tone is back, and his gaze has a hint of mischief as well, as he climbs next to you.

Instantly, he brings you into his embrace, planting a kiss on your lips, laughing at the light taste of sea salt and sand. There’s a silence between you too, ever so peaceful, as you listen to only Donghyuck’s heartbeat, and the swaying of the sea. 

Your lover breaks the silence not long after that, looking down at you, causing you to automatically look up at him.

“Say it one more time?”

“I love you, Lee Donghyuck,”

FInally, a sense of peace and assurance waves over him after minutes of disbelief. You can sense this, you can almost physically see it as he shuts his eyes as if to savor the moment. 

His fingers dance with yours in a lock, “I love you more.”

BnHA Chapter 282: Aizawa Defeeted

Previously on BnHA: Oh my god do we even care about that at this point. Tomura made a speech; Gran Torino died; Deku lost his shit and tried to strangle Tomura to death with his bare hands; Ryuukyuu came back from Wherever She Was and tried to grab Tomura but he punched a hole through her giant hand; and now he’s grabbing his Quirk-Be-Gone bullets and is ready to cause some mayhem okay?? That about sum it up?? Is anyone even reading this?? CAN WE JUST GET ON WITH IT I’VE WAITED AN ENTIRE WEEK.

Today on BnHA: Well I guess let’s start with what doesn’t happen: Bakugou doesn’t lose his quirk. HE LUCKED OUT!!... for now, anyways. Because, thanks to a near-impossible-to-predict series of events (seriously, raise your hands if you had “Aizawa gets shot but goes full World War Z on his own ass” on your bingo card), Tomura has seemingly regained his regeneration powers, which means that his other quirks are probably back online as well! So we’ll see how that all goes. Anyway so in the meantime Shouto’s back, looking very mad that everyone temporarily forgot he was a main character. And Gigantomachia is back as well! Or almost, anyway. Also, you’ll never guess who broke another one of his arms! Go on, guess. But at least he still has the arm, though, which is more than we can say for certain other people’s limbs. Poor Aizawa is literally on his last leg. He and Tomura really got off on the wrong foot. He chopped his leg off, is what I’m saying. It’s that kind of chapter folks.

you guys I’m losing my whole fucking mind. I straight up deleted the tumblr app off my phone for 24 hours so that I wouldn’t be tempted to log in and risk potentially being spoiled. and I’m happy to say that it worked! so here we are now, completely spoiler free, and let me just say that if Horikoshi decides to cut back to Gunga Mountain now, I will either cry for hours or abandon the series forever and go do something more productive with the rest of my quarantine like learning how to play sad songs on the guitar

all right. here goes

so we’re opening with Deku, who is currently comprised of 100% rage and 0% mercy, and is doing that thing where only the whites of his eyes are visible. and basically he’s just thinking “I’VE REALLY GOT TO HOLD ON TO THIS GUY AND MAKE SURE HE DOESN’T DO ANYTHING ELSE HOMICIDAL.” which is a solid game plan, but perhaps not so easily accomplished

-- oh my god this poor kid is still in denial, I can’t. why are you doing this

is there even still a Gran Torino to tend to at this point? after Tomura bulldozed a hole through his torso, and you went and finished the job with your own fucking attack? sob

but I guess the law of Tragic Shounen Mentor Deaths mandates that Gran’s should be at least as drawn-out as Nighteye’s was, though. so he’s probably only Mostly Dead, which is still Slightly Alive if I remember my Princess Bride correctly, and I think I do

so now the rest of these stooges are finally catching up with us here

yes, my friends. a bullet. WELCOME TO MY LIFE FOR THE PAST FUCKING WEEK. anyways I have a LOT of pent-up energy here just fyi. there may be a lot of unnecessary screaming in this recap

FUCKING WYOMING SMASH Y’ALLSSSS

I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED SOB. DID HE JUST HAMMER FIST TOMURA’S HEAD INTO THE GROUND. DID HE SNAP HIS FUCKING NECK AT 100%. IN AN IDEAL WORLD HE WOULD HAVE JUST CHOPPED TOMURA’S ARMS OFF WHILE SOMEHOW MANAGING TO AVOID BREAKING ANY OF HIS OWN BONES IN THE PROCESS, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THIS SITUATION WILL NOT BE RESOLVED IN ANY KIND OF MANNER ONE WOULD CONSIDER “IDEAL”

(ETA: fun fact: this attack did absolutely nothing except make things approximately 100x worse. but you tried Deku. you tried.)

THE FUCK KIND OF PORTENTOUS BULLSHITTING TITLE IS THIS. OH MY GOD, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT EMOTION I’M HAVING RIGHT NOW, IT’S JUST A LOT OF LOUD THOUGHTS

anyway so if you’re just joining us, Tomura just pulled two bullets out of his pocket, the good guys finally noticed, and then Deku did a smash and everything exploded. the radius of this attack actually looks wide enough to have potentially involved Aizawa, who probably does NOT want to get any debris in his eyes right now, and also Gran, who probably doesn’t particularly want to be hit by another deadly attack for the third time in the past ninety seconds. anyway so I guess what I’m trying to say here is WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT YOU LITTLE GREEN LUNATIC

AHHHHHH

he got the one!! the one that was in Tomura’s right hand!! but what about the one in his left ahhhhhhh

(ETA: lmao at Kacchan being the one to blow up the same bullet I was so sure he was going to be shot with. saw the writing on the wall, huh kid? what do we say to the god of foreshadowing?? ‘NOT TODAY.’ ...except that we’re still not actually out of the woods yet so you still better watch yourself lol.)

...

based on the font here, these are Tomura’s thoughts. which he is thinking immediately after getting the lower half of his jaw very painfully cronched by the VERY homicidal sixteen-year-old still clinging to him. anyway so Tomura’s thought processes are as inscrutable to me as ever lulz

and Deku’s arm looks broken again, yaaaaay. but at least it’s his left arm and not his right! so that’s nice. now they can match

[SHRIEKS]

HE YEETED IT. IT HAS BEEN YEETEDED. HE DID A YEET. [sobbing] he DiD a YeEt oH my GOD

DID IT HIT SOMETHING!?!?!?

my reading process here is as follows: 1) scroll down exactly one panel. 2) scream even though absolutely nothing has happened yet. 3) WRITE THAT DOWN 4) REPEAT

DKSFJLKHSDLGKHLI

DID IT HIT HIM!?!? DID IT GET HIM IN THE LEG SOB ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS. JUST LIKE THAT?? BOOM GUN BULLET LEG!!?

YOU GUYS IT REALLY HIT AIZAWA AND NO ONE DID A GODDAMN THING?? it wasn’t even drawn out or anything??? it just HAPPENED, within like four pages??? NO SLOW MO?? NOT EVEN A REACTION PANEL WHAT THE FUCK

son of a bitch I would so dearly like to grab Manual and RockLockRock’s heads right now and just conk them together real hard. YOU STUPID FUCKS sob YOU HAD ONE JOB!!! IT REALLY WAS JUST ONE!! AND YOU WERE SHARING IT!! SO IT’S MORE LIKE HALF A JOB!! AND YOU STILL COCKED IT UP IN ABSOLUTELY NO TIME AT ALL OH MY GOD

(ETA: they should blow this panel up and make it into a t-shirt and make Manual and RLR wear the shirts every day for the rest of their lives. half a job, you guys. please go away I cannot even look at you right now.)

FUCK MY EVERYTHING

(ETA: I still can’t figure out if this horrific angle is due to the earlier damage from the Noumu, or if Tomura really just flung the bullet THAT hard. honestly I’m surprised it didn’t just slice right through him with that kind of velocity. “no thanks because then I wouldn’t get to write a scene where he chops his own leg off” oh okay well when you put it that way, Horikoshi.)

if I recall correctly this is the leg that he said was “twisted”, no? yeesh. might just want to chop it off real quick, then. s’not like it’s doing you any more good. does anyone know if zombie rules apply or not with this sort of thing?? shit

?!?!

“THANKS”?? okay what. did it hit him or not??

-- oh my god WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT

I WAS -- I WAS JOKING I -- FFFFFFFFKJK

jesus fucking christ. when I said “might just want to chop it off real quick” literally FOUR PARAGRAPHS AGO, I can tell you that the one thing I did NOT expect was for Aizawa to be all, “you know what, that’s a good idea”, and then YOINK OUT HIS TRUSTY HERO SHANK AND GO FULL 127 HOURS ON THIS BITCH. "LALALA WE’RE GONNA DO IT RATIONALLY TEEHEE” like excuse me, the fuck

anyways. I don’t even know what to say. thank you Aizawa’s leg for your sacrifice, and for always supporting him. literally. oh my god I came here ready for my son to enter a new phase of character development, and for the manga as a whole to enter a new phase of glorious, glorious angst. no one told me I’d be sitting here making puns instead. what a fine, confusing day

anyway though let’s just fucking hope it worked. and side note, if Aizawa Shouta really did chop off his own fucking leg just now and somehow STILL managed not to fucking blink, I think we might as well just go ahead and hand him the Biggest Badass In The Series award right now because no one is ever going to top that. nope. not happening

it is truly a testament to Shigaraki Tomura’s unfathomably mysterious sexy villain energy that he still somehow manages to look hot with only half a face

also no one in this manga actually feels pain, do they. not Deku, not Aizawa, not Tomura, no one. no wonder none of them have any self-preservation instincts to speak of

um

did someone just randomly explode just now. at this point it might as well happen, right

oh it’s the shockwave from Deku’s Wyoming attack, apparently. how nice of it to have a delayed reaction for absolutely no reason

anyway so Deku’s being flung back, but he’s grabbing onto Tomura again with Blackwhip. but oh shit you guys, if Tomura escapes Deku and Ryuukyuu’s clutches and still has any bullets left in his pocket, we may still be able to salvage this Bakugou quirk situation after all. would be nice to be able to actually do something with all of these “happy quirk losing day” balloons that I ordered

(ETA: actually, believe it or not I honestly like this better. Tomura using AFO was always the more dramatic option anyway. and now that we’ve done the bullet thing everyone has presumably let their guard down again, which, good.)

I love how Tomura apparently hasn’t noticed that Aizawa’s just amputated his own leg? to be fair he’s probably distracted by all the explosions and such

also gotta love how Deku’s arm-breaking attack seemingly just made everything worse for no reason. and also how Manual and RockLockRock are once again just standing there doing absolutely nothing

SO NOW GUESS WHAT’S HAPPENING

I MEAN IT! GUESS. BECAUSE YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE LOL

OH WELL OKAY THEN

just like we all saw coming!! ...

so is this Endeavor’s attack?? Bakugou’s?? either way, hot damn. fortunately for Tomura he is apparently operating under the same guidelines as the U.S. Federal Reserve, in which mutilated bills may still be exchanged at face value if more than 50% of a note identifiable as United States currency is present. basically as long as roughly half of him is still vaguely Tomura-shaped I assume he’ll be fine

(ETA: in hindsight I should have immediately been able to identify this as a Shouto attack based solely on how murdery it was lol.)

OH MY GODDDD

KRANCH?!?

OH MY GOD LOL WHAT. LOL. REMEMBER EVERYONE’S THEORIES FROM LIKE TWENTY YEARS AGO LOL. SHOUTO WHAT THE FUCK. DID YOU STOP FOR DRIVE THRU

AND MEANWHILE DEKU’S BACK ON THE SCENE GIVING ARGUABLY EVEN LESS FUCKS THAN BEFORE, IF SUCH A THING IS EVEN POSSIBLE. SO FAR THIS CHAPTER HAS PRECISELY ZERO THINGS THAT I ACTUALLY EXPECTED IN IT, WHICH IS VERY IMPRESSIVE

IT ALSO HAS A LOT OF SMASHING

a LOT. of smashing, guys. feels like... 60% smashing, 20% severed legs, 20% Kranch

-- oh no oh SHIT oh shit oh shit

(ETA: um so I really can’t tell how far that wound extends and whether or not Aizawa still has his right eye, shit.)

first of all how did Deku get here next to Aizawa when he was just over there with Tomura, what. and second, I think Aizawa just blinked, oh shit. probably on the verge of passing out after CHOPPING HIS OWN LEG OFF which STILL hasn’t been acknowledged yet?? did I just completely misinterpret all of that back there or what

(ETA: there was seriously so little attention called to this that I scrolled back up to confirm it probably like half a dozen times. apparently Horikoshi thinks that THE MOST BADASS THING TO EVER HAPPEN IN THE MANGA should be completely downplayed. whereas if it were me, there’d be an entire two page spread of JUST THE LEG. WITH MUSIC PLAYING. EVEN THOUGH IT’S A MANGA.)

YEPPPPPPP. fuck

look at him though. he’s so happy. this is why I can’t stay mad at you no matter how deranged you get you little maniac

so is quirk-stealing back on the menu then or what. don’t think I’ve been lulled into any kind of false sense of security by any of this lol

-- ARE WE SERIOUSLY CUTTING AWAY

so Todoroki really went after them ALONE. the better to put his dad right back up at the top of the Lose Your Quirk Sweepstakes finalists. well... second-to-top, maybe. like I said I will not be lulled

yuh-oh

why do I feel like the odds of Gigantomachia arriving to herald the end of this chapter just shot up DRAMATICALLY

so the next page is almost entirely just a list of cities that the news anchor is telling people to evacuate because they’re in Machia’s path. along with a bunch of dead heroes lying around everywhere, and Ochako being all ominous

(: weren’t they, though? heh. this is going to be so, so bad (: (: (:

-- fuuuuuuuuuuu

aaaaaand that’s it. hahahaha. okay then let’s summarize

Bakugou defied all expectations and kept his quirk (FOR NOW)!

Aizawa cut his own fucking leg off and it WASN’T EVEN REMOTELY ACKNOWLEDGED FOR REASONS I CAN’T UNDERSTAND (R.I.P. AIZAWA’S PRECIOUS LEG. YOU ALWAYS PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD)

Kranch showed up after 157 years and is probably wondering why the heck I keep calling him “Kranch” now. THINGS CHANGE WHEN YOU’RE MIA FOR A WHILE MY LITTLE STARBUCKS CHRISTMAS CUP

Deku broke his arm for the 78th time

Tomura regenerated but seems to think Aizawa’s quirk is actually gone for good, which I’m pretty sure it’s not. so if they can keep him from destroying everything long enough for Aizawa to turn it back on again, we might possibly still survive this

and lastly, Machia is about to kill all of these stupid people frolicking around outside of this fitness club who are probably so proud of themselves for not being glued to their phones 24/7 because they prefer to LIVE LIFE IN THE MOMENT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. well that’s on you my friends. at least it’ll be a quick death. ffff

[antimnemonic]

yah so. funny (debatable) thing

when i moved here a few months ago i quickly developed reputation at local gas station for getting soda every day

and then, of course, in front of that gas station is where i came uncomfortably close to death a few months ago. so i did not get sodas for nearly 3 months

i have been back on my soda bullshit for a few weeks now, and i finally got around to asking one of the cashier girls if she knew anything about That Night

turns out, yes lol, another girl had seen the whole mess and apparently it was gossip for a bit. they saw the driver and he had some vibes. and now theres a mood of “that was you??” in reference to the cronched car. the mystery of where i disappeared to has been solved lol

talking to someone just a few degrees removed from the guy who almost did me in certainly imparts. a feeling. but anyways one of the girls might have pics of the disaster, morbid but i hope i get to see them lol

Marco’s Bauble Part 2 - a One Piece Mermaid AU Text Story

Ended up writing a continuation of the first Marco’s bauble post, thank you so much to everyone who commented and inspired me to write more ^ ^

This was posted on my Patreon earlier this week!

Follow up to On Thatch, Marco, & the Whitebeards - Marco’s Bauble #1 , please read this one first ^ ^

Contains Koala x Luffy, Thatch x Luffy, and Marco x Luffy with bg Ace & Sabo, wow is that a combination of ships I never expected to see, but whelp here we are....

~~

~~

It's during one of Koala's Fishman Karate sessions when That Thing falls out of Luffy's pocket.

At first, Koala thinks she must have imagined it, because why would Luffy have one of those.

But then Luffy drops the stance she's been struggling to hold, concentration shattered, and pounces on the little thing that's trying to roll away from her on the deck.

"Ah, my Mystery Rock!" the mermaid cries, reaffirming that no, Koala didn't imagine it.

Koala stares with dawning horror as Luffy scoops the thing up, rolling the shiny blue bauble between her palms to make sure it hasn't been damaged. She's moving to stick it back into her inner vest pocket when Koala stops her.

"Luffy...where did you get that?"

"Oh this?" Luffy's eyes light up, and she shoves the thing right up and personal in Koala's face.

Koala can see it clearly, the aquamarine glass with shards of multi-faceted crystal and gold flakes embedded in it, with a small, dark core made up of none other than seastone. It's unmistakable.

"Thatch gave it to me!" Luffy continues, and Koala's already moving, spinning on her heel towards the kitchen because she is going to throttle that damn cook--before Luffy adds, "It's not from him though! It's from his friend! The pineapple-bird man!"

Koala freezes, her fury towards Thatch dwindling, but she still feels her heart pounding louder than it should be. She has no idea what a pineapple-bird man is, but the point still stands: a man had given Luffy her "Mystery Rock."

"Luffy," she says, trying to keep her voice light, hoping it isn't cracking with the hysteria she feels inside. "Do you know what that is?"

"It has a sea rock inside!" Luffy says, proud that she's remembered what Ace told her. It's seastone, but close enough, Koala thinks. "It's got glass and stuff on the outside, so I can touch it without getting tired! But it still feels like the sea! It's my magical Mystery Rock!"

Koala nods and smiles, even though she feels her lips strain. "Anything else?"

Luffy blinks. She couldn't be more obvious about pulling a blank, for which Koala is immensely grateful.

Okay, okay. So. Luffy knows what the object is, but probably doesn't know what it means. Which means Koala can relax. For now.

She forces herself to take a deep breath. She shouldn't jump to any conclusions.

"It's a very nice Mystery Rock," Koala smiles sincerely, and it really really is.

Nicer than Luffy's likely aware of.

"How about we take a break for today. Do you want to go show Ace the basic water pulse you can do now?" Koala suggests, and Luffy beams with her whole face and Koala's blinded. It lasts only an instant before Luffy's stretching her arms to grab a rail, slingshotting herself away in the blink of an eye, leaving Koala feeling like a cloud just passed over the sun.

Koala heaves a huge sigh. She's never been more grateful for the lack of Sabo's presence during Fishman Karate sessions, because if Sabo had seen Luffy's "Mystery Rock," and if he had asked Koala to explain its significance...well.

Things would not be pretty.

And despite how objectively beautiful the bauble is, things are already very Not Pretty inside Koala now. She has some words for Thatch's friend.

~~

Thatch's surprised when Koala of all people enters the kitchen (Lil Lesbian No. 2, he'd secretly nicknamed her). He'd just kicked Sanji out with the trays of desserts and beverages they'd made, telling the younger man to go enjoy the sun while Thatch finishes cleaning up and starts prepping for dinner.

Thatch honestly wishes he could be the one to present the sweets to Luffy, but he's also mature enough to let this opportunity go to Sanji. The boy'd practically been twitching with excitement while adding the last loving touches to the parfaits.

It's fine, Thatch is an adult. And by staying in the kitchen, Thatch also gets to prepare and therefore present the enormous steak that'll be part of dinner (and which is Luffy honestly going to be more excited for, a parfait or sea king steak?).

Either way, Thatch's just about finished, and checks his dials one last time before turning to give his visitor his undivided attention.

"So, did the parfaits interrupt your time monopolizing my future fiancee, or...?"

Lil Lesbian No. 2 smiles sweetly, or rather bares her teeth, and doesn't return Thatch's greeting. Rude.

"Thatch, who gave Luffy the seastone trinket?" she demands without prelude. And huh, so that's what they're going to talk about. Thatch blinks. No, he hasn't forgotten about it, and yes, he's still bitter, but he's also a bit alarmed by Koala's intensity. It's just a nice gift...right?

"One of my crew mates," he says cautiously, not seeing any reason to lie. "My friend. Marco."

"Marco the Phoenix, First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates," Koala mumbles, and Thatch can see her pulling up all the mental files she has on him. Thatch has learned that the young revolutionary has a terrifying mental database of pretty much anyone who's made a name for themselves in any way, and reminds himself to never take his teasing too far, because he does not want to make an enemy of her.

Her blackmail-compiling finished, Koala smiles thinly. "So Thatch, do you know what that bauble is?"

Thatch feels like he's being tested, and whatever he says is going to be wrong. "It's a fancy thing you can buy at Fishman island? Costs a small fortune? The mer ladies always seem super happy get them as gifts? I'm not sure what you're asking here," he shrugs helplessly under her glare. He really doesn't know anything else. Fishman island may be Pops' territory, but he's certainly no expert on their culture beyond studying their cuisine.

"And your friend, does he think the same?"

"I don't know what that bird-brain thinks! If you're going to kill him, go after him, not me," Thatch groans. "Are you going to actually tell me what's wrong, or...?"

Koala seems to debate about something, and Thatch hears Sabo muttered under her breath. She then starts to chuckle, and it's a dark, unpleasant sound. Thatch is more than a little concerned.

"Oh the mer ladies like receiving them alright," she mutters.

She takes a deep breath, like she's hyping herself up for something, and now Thatch is tense too.

"Does your friend know," she says, voice so painfully sweet it's gone bitter, "that he's given Luffy the human equivalent of an engagement ring?"

Thatch stops breathing.

A beat, then,

"THAT BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!"

Ace pops his head into the kitchen. "Anything wrong?"

"NOTHING!" Koala and Thatch scream in unison, and Ace jolts backwards in alarm.

"Alright...then. I'll...be back later?" Ace blinks like a puppy confused as to why he'd just been kicked, but he still shuffles back outside, politely closing the door behind him.

Thatch feels pretty awful about making his little brother slink out of his own ship's kitchen, but holy shit does he not want Ace to hear this right now.

Luffy with an engagement ring.

Ace'd explode, then Merry would burn, and then everyone would drown and that's a very sad ending to their short-lived adventure.

"The fuck," he hisses to Koala, just in case Ace is still lurking outside.

"That's what I want to say to your First Division Commander!" she spits back, and alright, fine, maybe she has every right to be upset. "Who does he think he is, giving Luffy something like that? I haven't even asked her out yet!"

Thatch isn't sure that last part is entirely necessary, and mumbles, "My future fiancee," but Koala steamrolls right over him.

"Did he do it intentionally, or is he just an ignorant human like you?"

Thatch wisely keeps his You're human too comment to himself. "Again, I'm not him, I don't know!"

Thatch thinks Marco doesn't know the weight of the gift he's sent. At least, he hopes so. No one on the Moby Dick believes Thatch because they think Marco's always a stuffy mother hen, but Thatch knows Marco can play some pretty nasty pranks when he wants to. But Marco wouldn't pull something like this, it doesn't feel in character for him. He can be a pain in Thatch's ass, but he wouldn't drag in Ace's little brother who he hasn't even met yet. But then again, it also feels weird for Marco to not have looked up the significance of something he spent his own money on. It's all very strange and confusing.

Even so, Thatch is with Koala this time, and is totally okay throwing his older brother under the ship so to speak, because the bastard hasn't even met Luffy, and there's no way he'll support this "engagement," or whatever the hell this is.

"You know," Koala says, far too pleasantly for the mood. "Sabo's going to kill him when he finds out."

Thatch shrugs, he has no intention of helping his friend. "Eh, Marco can handle it, he's strong."

"No, you don't understand," Koala insists, and oh there's that sadism back in her expression. "Ever heard of the Fort Gray incident? That was all Sabo. And Sabo's going to murder your friend."

Thatch has heard of that, few on the Grand Line haven't. And...oh. Maybe Chief of Staff is actually a pretty terrifying title after all. "Marco's fine, he's strong?" he repeats, a little less confident.

Koala snorts, and spitefully grabs a handful of the caramelized pecans on the countertop and shovels them in her face as Thatch squawks protest. He was going to use those!

"I can't wait till Ace hears, because then there'll be two of them," she cronches as Thatch sadly rummages in the cabinets for more pecans. "So now the question is, do we warn your friend or not?"

Thatch isn't feeling particularly charitable, but he also feels betrayed and wants to know what Marco was thinking. The next time one of those damn birds comes, he thinks. He has some questions to ask the Phoenix.

~~

~~

The incident refers to the mission in Sabo's flashback in the anime expanded content at the end of Dressrosa. I dun think it actually had a name/location (could be wrong), so made it up and yes my naming sense is creative I know LMAO.

The beginning might feel choppy bc there was a big Koala x Lu part at the beginning that I chopped off bc it felt too irrelevant to the topic. Might clean that up for a separate post tho ^ ^;

As always, comments/reblogs/tags always immensely appreciated! <3

[fanfoolishness]

Liveblog time!

Live-blogging for The Mandalorian 2x05, The Jedi, beginning now!

Almost forgot! This was my first piece of Mandalorian fanart, I think!

Calodan on Corvus is possibly my favorite planet after Sorgan. I love the misty color palette so much.

Also heeeey I’ve now seen nearly 3 seasons of The Clone Wars so Ahsoka will not be nearly so much a stranger this time around!

Calodan gives me such an Avatar-city under siege from the Fire Nation vibe, except Ahsoka’s the whole-ass Fire Nation and she’s here to save the day.

Why does the Magistrate have the beskar spear, anyway? And I wonder if it has any electronics in it the way everything else beskar we’ve seen has. I would guess not, but it would be kind of cool if it did, maybe something that actively keeps the spear well-balanced.

Look, evil lady, killing people doesn’t put the blame on Ahsoka. It just ain’t how it works. But bad guys always think that’s somehow an argument?

I wonder if the men of Star Wars are sad. Their hair is never very exciting but the women go all out.

So Din’s slightly testy with Grogu about getting back in his seat. Because... he’s fully expecting to go down to that planet and come back up again without the kid. I’d be testy too. ;_;

Oh God Grogu is even cuter than I remembered somehow. Like weeks and weeks of nothing but Mandalorian and every time I watch him he’s still just marvelous.

Love that shot of him focusing on the control knob with the pretty lights behind it. It really makes it seem magical, which to Grogu’s mind, it is

Love these weird giant creatures in the back, apparently just massacring these trees. CRONCH

I wonder how far they walked into town. I just love finding every little scrap of time between cuts that you could stuff a fic into.

I bet Grogu loves the smells of the marketplace, but can pick up on the tense atmosphere and doesn’t like it. He likes the kids, though.

I really enjoy the lighting of this episode because 1) we get to see those little lights on Din’s gauntlet easily and 2) it drives home the fact that not every world is going to have the same spectrum of light as our yellow sun. Reminds me of when I got to see the total solar eclipse in 2017. The sky seemed like daylight, but wasn’t. It was utterly unlike our world and I still get chills EVERY. TIME. I think about it.

I like her stupid guard droid. Cool color scheme.

God I wish I had a little water garden all my own.

Love the sound beskar on beskar makes.

Grogu: “Dad, this guy sucks. I can tell.”

UGH love those misty hills!!!!! So fucking pretty!

I love these trees so much. They remind me of buckberry.

Ahsoka: BABY???

Ugh the misty background is so gorgeous at night too!

Poor Din. He is so worried. Look at all this pacing when this is normally such a man of stillness and restraint.

Din: *pacing around anxiously* *kicks a cool rock* “I wonder if the kid would like this rock? MAYBE I SHOULD GO INTERRUPT THEM AND ASK oh never mind.” *back to pacing*

That smile that Ahsoka gives Grogu after she looks at Din — it’s so clear how many nice things he’s telling her about Din <3

Din is so worried. What’s she going to say? Is he doing this right? He doesn’t want to mess things up for the kid —

Can you just imagine everything in Din’s head right now? Relief at knowing the kid HAS a name, that Ahsoka can talk to him? Guilt at not somehow knowing the name before this? His heart going out to the kid, thinking of his home being taken away from him, thinking of him being in danger many times before Din could meet him or help him? Thinking this is time to say goodbye...

Awww thinking of Grogu curled up in Din’s cloak on the mossy ground while they sleep

Din is so worried Grogu won’t pass his test ;_;

Din is worried *he* won’t pass the test XD

So cute how Din kneels down to his level to encourage him to take the ball :)

Din is SO EXCITED

I love how when *Grogu* calls the ball to his hand, the musical cue plays *Din’s* motif with the recorder — a sign of their connection <3 <3 <3

Mando music is playing in the background. Grogu is NOT going to grow up to be a Jedi! I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again, the title of the show might refer to Grogu :)

Ahsoka: giggling at “laser swords”

Aww man, these trees aren’t this way because of the giant animals? The Magistrate did this? Goddammit. I was hoping it was just like, a life cycle of the planet.

I like that even though Ahsoka is grownup and serious you can still see all those little smirks <3 Love that Snips!

CAN’T BELIEVE DIN TRUSTED HER WITH THE MUDHORN PAULDRON

Hey! Din learned how to drop-kick someone with the Rising Phoenix!!! Good job Din! Learning from Koska, I see. (Not as graceful as her, though.)

Huh, he still has durasteel or something on his shoulder, from under the beskar. I don’t know WHY THEY WON’T PUT OUT AN OFFICIAL DRAWING OF HOW ALL THE ARMOR FITS TOGETHER.

Look dude, don’t even mess with Din Djarin, all right? And none of this “we’re a lot alike” bullshit. But I did appreciate this guy’s attempt to “I don’t even care, bro” as foolish at it was.

WHERE IS THRAWN AWWWWWW FUCKING YEAAAAAH I still only know him from the Zahn trilogy but I’m so excited they repurposed such an awesome character.

“Wait here, I’ll... go get him.”

Din rocking him gently in the hammock back and forth ;___;

... how... long did they stay there just... cuddling... I fucking CAN’T

Ahsoka: “...it’s been like four hours. I’d better go look for them. Either Mando’s not giving the kid up or the kid doesn’t want to go. Shoulda seen that coming...”

I totally got this wrong in one of my fics. I wrote Din flying the Razor Crest back to the town. I’d forgotten HE SITS THERE SO LONG WITH THE KID AHSOKA HAS TO GO AND FIND THEM when Din was the one who claimed “I’ll go get him, wait here.” OMG DIN. JUST ADMIT YOU WANT TO PARENT THIS CHILD FOREVER.

The concept art of Din and Grogu striding off into the sunset together? My HEART

Man. I’m enjoying the Clone Wars, but I’m just so sad at all the badness that’s going to happen to everybody in them ;_; And thinking of how many things Ahsoka has gone through by this point is just... the Star Wars galaxy just hates people not being traumatized, doesn’t it?

Do I have the strength to get through The Tragedy tonight??? I mean, there’s Boba Fett and Fennec Shand being badass, and the best opening of any media, ever, but then there is PAIN and CRUELTY and it ISN’T FAIR.

[jimmymcgools]

maybe a bit risque for the writing ask meme, so feel free to ignore, but: the first love scene (or part of it) between jimmy and kim during their trip out of town?

hell yes, i’ll do this scene!! for sure! thank you ❤️❤️❤️

fic commentary meme and my answers 

this is just a reminder before we go on that jimmy’s still wearing his damn bugs bunny t-shirt 

Inside their room, Jimmy stares out through the slats of the blinds at the glowing highway sign, listening to Kim have a stilted conversation with her roommate over the phone. 

photo edited by @unremarkable-house​ ♥️♥️♥️

He tips his head to the side. “Hmm. I could maybe get behind a dead space chimp.”   ah, the dead space chimp. they were originally gonna visit the world’s largest pistachio but then i discovered it wasn’t there in 1992, so we went with the dead space chimp. the pistachio is so tragic though, you should definitely google it. send me reacts if you do. it’s a bummer. 

He exhales and gives a winning smile, but his next question comes out a little breathier and a little more strangled than he would like: “Wanna make out again, then?”   i always liked the idea of jimmy just out and asking this. famously not the greatest at communicating, these two, but i really wanted there to be more of a “hey, so do you want to do that again?” “hm, yeah, i do actually” vibe at the top of this scene rather than just them getting completely swept up in emotions 

and it’s like a jolt rushing through him, like everything he’s been holding back for the past week comes smashing up through a frozen surface and he can breathe again.   kind of blending two different images i’ve used before. way back in chapter 2 when jimmy does his little coffee spill scam: “it feels like bursting up through the water’s surface and breathing again”. and then kim right before their first kiss: “an enormous grin shatters over her face, like an ice sheet cracking”. 

he shifts his weight back to his knees and reaches for her hair again, this time gathering it up gently and tucking it up on the pillow as best he can, running the soft threads through his fingers.  jimmy’s boner for kim’s hair really just grows and grows huh 

“Why are we doing this?” he gasps, and then he shakes his head. “I mean—why aren’t we doing this?”  oh man the like, foggy-brained gibberish of this. “why are we doing this--no wait why aren’t we doing this--ok wait i know we’re literally making out right now but why aren’t we doing it for real kim?” 

“To start with?” she asks softly, and she gives him a small smile. “Because you woke up and looked terrified.” “I what?” Jimmy asks.  i was always curious how people took this. we’re in jimmy’s pov for that wake-up scene, and he doesn’t exactly think he’s terrified of a relationship with kim in that moment, but he does have a bunch of big messy thoughts that i hoped could seem like hesitation or fear in how they appeared on his face, and how kim interpreted them. 

“No,” she says, eventually. Her eyes meet his. Words coming slowly, she says, “Jimmy, you’re not…” —and he thinks, what? what? pulse humming in his ears— —and, voice so careful, she says, “… part of the plan.”  Jimmy lets out his breath in a rush of air. “Yeah,” he says lightly. He stares into her eyes. Hers are gentle, and he sighs again.  oh man another thing i was curious about the response to. on the surface these words from kim are so horrible. they’re still not exactly nice but i really wanted to give them a specific kind of softness/honesty that makes them land okay. there’s maybe shades of howard’s “we want the case. we do not want... the case is all we want” that i really wanted to avoid.  they are, though, probably the sort of words that jimmy filters away in the little bank he stores things like “the kind of lawyer guilty people hire” and “roll around in the dirt with me” and the lyrics to a certain ABBA song. 

He tightens his fingers. “Wanna tell me about the plan, then?”   but in the moment i wanted him to just be forgiving, and curious (and maybe already bracing to game the plan like he ends up doing, but hey)

“Make something of myself,” she says.  kim’s ambition is so interesting to me!! her “plan” here as she tells it to jimmy is so vague, but i always feel like at the core there’s two elements: self-preservation/escape, and then ambition. “what did you want?” “more.” the ambition part i think about a lot, and i want to do more with it, tbh. because i think in some ways it’s the more interesting part. there’s a bit of a leap from just escaping a difficult situation to relentlessly gunning to get ahead in a field that gives you the power to determine right from wrong.  kimberly wexler you fascinate me. 

“We’re not in Albuquerque now,” he says.  “No,” Kim says, smile edging her expression. “No, I guess not.” “Seems like the plan’s already gone off the rails,” Jimmy says, and he shrugs.  “Hm,” Kim says, mouth twitching.  forgive me for the chandler-and-monica-in-london of this. i do think kim and jimmy would’ve kept going in this moment without the dumb excuse, but i liked the idea that they both enjoyed having the dumb excuse. and then it ends up being more significant once they do get back to abq and kim actually does walk the relationship back. 

She opens it and rifles through, then lets out a snort of laughter. “I forgot about this haircut,” she says, and she turns his wallet to face him.  disgusted to discover i didn’t describe the velcro cronch of jimmy’s wallet here.  how long do licences last in the US anyway? i hope he had to show people that slippin’ jimmy mullet for a long time.  that important question aside, i really wanted to keep that easy humour and laughter they've had since the beginning going through this scene. and any time i can shift a fun/gently-ribbing joke into a slightly more emotional beat i’m happy, and i liked that shift here. “you guys didn’t know what hit you” “no, we did not.” 

She leans back a little and runs a finger through the vee of his hips then holds it up to him. It’s covered in a fine layer of white dust.  i got so attached to this dumb idea even though it’s the shittiest thing, sorry you two, fanfic rules, sorry, you’re covered in gypsum i guess, good luck bet it feels great 👀it’s just really hard to, you know. shake off white sands after you’ve been there once, y’know. 👀#metaphors  

“Hmm, that wasn’t the first time,” Kim says, moving their joined hands around so that she’s resting her weight down on them. “I seem to remember you coming back to the mailroom one day soaked with coffee…”    kim-wexler-is-horny-for-a-scam... but also, hey, a chance to talk more about this! kim remembers jimmy (who from the outside might’ve still seemed like he was one platinum platter away from joining howard on the third floor) helping a lowly assistant when he didn’t need to. and not only did he help clara in that scene, he did it in an outside-the-box way that put all the blame on himself and made clara look good in front of everyone upstairs. 

there’s a scene break in that chapter from when jimmy starts explaining the plan, to when jimmy’s about to put it into action, and i always think that, after his explanation and after he and clara leave, kim stands there thinking that there’s no fucking way this mcgill brother is going to go upstairs and put on this whole performance just because one printer fucked up and vernon is a picky asshole. 

and then he comes back down drenched in coffee.  kim: 🙂

“Covered in coffee, huh?” he says, a few moments later. “I can arrange that again.”   jimmy: kim wants a coffee-soaked striptease i’ll GIVE her a coffee-soaked striptease! kim: um 

so he stops talking and listens—and it’s his name, over and over, hummed to his lips.   jimmy and names is so... aahh. when i wrote this i was thinking about that moment in chapter one when he stands in front of the elevators and tries out different ways of introducing himself. “yeah, just jimmy. like, you know... cher.” just jimmy. it kills me to think about how, certainly by bcs s5 times, kim is the only one he’s just-jimmy to. 💔 

letting Kim swallow it until there’s no sound left between them at all, no sound or words or names, just—light.   echoes of them driving up into white sands, and it’s quiet, like after a snowfall, when jimmy wonders if the white itself that makes things noiseless. 

thank you so much for requesting this scene!!! ♥️

Main Masterlist

Series Masterlist

Peter hadn’t left the house for two weeks, only surviving by Aunt May and her periodically bringing him food and giving him support. His messages had been flooded with requests for interviews, any information about him being Spiderman. The word was out and Peter was well and truly terrified of the reaction. May had taken his phone away at first, allowing him to deal with the truth being out before he had to face any of the backlash that could come. He’d talked to Ned and MJ a few times, but otherwise ignored the outside world.

“Peter.” She said, poking her head through the door. He flicked his eyes up to meet her, acknowledging her with a small smile before going back to aimlessly staring back at the wall. “Got you some food.” She passed him a sandwich. She sat behind him, letting him rest his head on her chest as he slowly ate. Gently, she raked her fingers through his hair to calm him down. “You wanna try today?” Peter shrugged. “You don’t have to, but ignoring everything isn’t going to make it go away.”

“I know.” He mumbled.

“You could always go out as Spiderman, swing around a little, out of anyone’s sight.”

“Maybe.”

“Or at least go to Ned’s or MJ’s. Just to get out the apartment.” She suggested.

“Okay.” Peter placed his plate on the bedside table, turning to cuddle into her.

“It’ll be fun, we can put you in a little disguise, the hat and sunglasses. What all the real heroes do.” She joked, attempting to lighten the situation. “I’ll be with you the whole time if it gets too much we’ll come straight home.”

“Promise?”

“I promise.” She whispered into his hair. “Now please go shower, you kinda smell.”

“Can you join me?” He asked shyly.

“If it’ll get you to wash.” She laughed, dragging a now grinning Peter behind him. 

An hour later they were on the busy streets of New York. Peter kept his head firmly down, his heart and mind racing. The only thing keeping him slightly sane was his hand interlaced with hers. His eyes were too focused on the ground to notice a young boy about to run into his legs. The kid couldn’t have been older than seven. He stared up at Peter, suddenly widening his eyes in shock.

“You’re Spiderman.” The kid said in awe. She felt Peter freeze-up and lowered down to the young boys level.

“Yeah he is, but you gotta keep it a secret.” She explained to the excited kid.

“Are you his friend?” She nodded at him, finally finding it in himself to react.

“So can you help Spiderman out?” She asked.

“Yeah, I won’t tell anyone.”

“Thanks, you’re a big help.” Peter smiled, waving the kid goodbye as his mother called him back over.

“See, it isn’t that bad.” She nudged him. They walked on a little before Peter stopped and pulled her into him, planting a light kiss on her mouth.

“Thank you.” He muttered against her lips.

“No problem Spiderman.”

HARRY IS A RIGHT IDIOT AND YOU BLEED ON THE DELICIOUS MATT

a story about clueless men:

After lunch, I felt the need to freshen myself up, especially being on my period, i was in the need for a shower. A scrumptious, delightful shower, sent to me by Angel Gabriel himself.

Harry left for work hours ago, he aggressively kissed my cheek goodbye - unaware I had stirred conscious from my aggressive sleep.

I stepped into the shower like a cautious wolf, still reacting to the cold bath that dried since my semen-filled boyfriend left for the studio. The steam eased my cramps like ice-cream in the sun, oooh wouldnt that be a lovely snack later! I could cronch on ice-cream all day, like a baby eagle cronching on its prey. My cravings start flowing in now.

Soon distracted by the elegant, handsome, jaw-droppingly jolly water and my thoughts, I hummed to myself, not noticing a new presence. By now most of the bleeding had stopped, the plughole still slightly tinged red for now.

I began shampooing my obedient hair until something touched my waist. "arghhhh jesus!!" I fiercely exlaimed while turning around to see my beautiful love, naked may I add, stood in front of my at the door of the shower.

"hey hey, s'just me love" he spoke softly and I turned down the pressure to hear him and feel his lips.

"why are you home so soon baby?"

"couldnt wait to see you"

"hmm, why really?"

"I kept getting frustrated with myself today, i cant hit these fucking harmonies and-"

"hey, give yourself a break for once. You are doing a little bit amazing and I am a little bit proud of you, I'm glad you chose to come home"

After a deafening moment, you were making out. As you feel something, other than arousal (tea tree oil), drip down your legs you turn the shower back up to wash everything away once again.

After a thoroughly enjoyable make out sesh that you managed to keep quite PG due

to your situation. Harry steps out of the shower and reaches to your obnoxiously white towel. The shift in weight as you climb out exerts a drop of glamorous blood onto the delicious white bath matt, you didnt notice until-

"ohh babe are you okay??"

"why wouldnt i be"

"you are bleeding like a young bear cub on a warm summers evening after being ripped apart by a ferocious capybara!! did i go too rough last night??!! im so sorry i never meant toiloveyousom-" (cerys ive got no clue what ur trying to say)

"harry calm down again, nothings wrong im just on my period. Thought you wouldnt care to know but I am so sorry I stained your matt with my satanic uterus"

There was silence. You start to fret,'does he think I'm disgusting? does he think im a cannibal? is he about to dump me? why does he look confused? is he okay? i am thinking to myself "whats one of those?" he asks innocently, like a child at nursery who draws something that adult minds can miss interpret.

"um, mestruation? Do you know about that"

yet another agressively puzzled pose.

Then he stated "y/n, I have never heard of those words in my whole 24 years of life"

a/n: this is set 2018 bc why not!

"oh okay" you wonder how this conversation will go" can i explain aomething to you?"

Harry looks intrigued this time."please do or this evening is going to end with a violent death and i can guarantee that it wont be me whos dead!!!”

You chuckle at his childish innocent excitement. "Around once a month, girls release one egg which is like the mum part of a possible baby, if the egg gets fertalized by a big fat daddy cock, it grows into a child, if not - because weve used protection, it summons lucifer the devil and he temporarily takes control of our womb and causes bucket loads of blood to plumet out of our fannys for about a week. We call this a period or 'time of the month' but scientifically its menstruation. I am currently on my period"

Harrys face was motionless yet so motionfull at the same time. I had no idea what he was thinking until he nodded slowly "ah, okayyy" and suddenly snapped to check "so you are not pregnant right?"

"correct" you giggled

“so my big fat daddy cock didnt release my sperm into your womb” harry questioned.

“no it did not” you reassured him.

"aha, phew, i don't need any kids yet"

You laughed along until he backtracked cutely.. "not that i don't want kids, or with you, just, now is not the time love" he explained. "baby, don't worry, I couldn't handle that either right now, meaning that you" you poked his chest aggressively “get to care for me and all my pains from being female" a smerk grew on your face while a frown spread on his," Does it hurt?"

You sighed in thought," the blood exiting doesn't but there are loads of symptoms to come with it, sorry if I'm a right old twat for the next 5 days" and you smacked him right across the cheek. You walked off to leave him with a giant throbbing purplish bruise forming on his face, causing him to send out the tweet, “

#domesticabuseisnotajokejim #niallyouignorantslut”

[bakugouscentedcaramel]

Nfjfjfjf sorry this took so long darlin'! Writer's block has been domming me for the past couple of weeks and I think the dominatrix heel is finally being lifted so here goes my 4am explanation of my insanity jfjdkd

Bakugou

And first up we have my Husbando. When I first heard this song I immediately thought of BoomBoom man, probably because I can see him reluctantly start singing in a "Tch, if it'll make you shut the hell up" kinda way, but then he'll gradually get more into it, especially with the long yell (?) notes. Partially bc I HC him as a closeted metal/punk singer but oop, not to mention the lyrics just kinda screamed Bakugou to me

Also on another note I was singing this version at work when the infamous flirt came by my work and caught me legitimately singing for once and I died

Midoriya

Jfjfjfjf for Broccoli Angel I figured a duet of sorts was more fitting bc I can't really see him just singing by himself without busting down into a nervous blushing heap. I can't see him legitimately singing so the soft vocals really stood out to me as an Izuku thing. Not to mention the soft shit you could do while y'all sing it O O P

Todoroki

NFNDJF TODOBYAFRICA would definitely bless your rains with thissin. I HC him as a cliche prince charming partially bc I think of him as a hopeless romantic but also bc "that's what Disney taught me". Jfjfjf I also HC him as having a singing voice of pure honey and oof this song just fits him perfectly, like just a doofy smile and love struck eyes as he serenades the love of his life?? Talking about fairytales??? Sign me tf up

Kirishima

My KiriKing oof, y'all already know I HC him as an absolute worshipper of his s/o, definitely would rob heaven of all of it's stars so you can put them to shame. Definitely would try his hardest to be flirty and smexy but ultimately giggles through a lot of it and definitely does the whole slowly gets quieter before stealing a passionate kiss. Like this song just fit him perfectly to me bc you are the sweetest thing to him and what better way to show it than to sing about his other half, I was debating on Sugar or Treasure by Bruno Mars oop

Shinsou

Now I actually had some difficulty with our mind control boi for some reason. I couldn't really see him do anything upbeat or overly soft so I was hunting for a song that was melancholic but still had strong lyrics. Not to mention I HC him as being self conscious and semi depressed bc oof if he ain't me. Like I could go off on potential internal struggles for this loveable tired boi

And honestly now that I had time to reflect on him I feel like Smother Me by the Used fits him more...

Dabi

Oof our Cronch King Meme Lord, yes this song fits him perfectly to me. Like his possessiveness of you, his fear or losing you, his timidness to romantic gestures OOF LAD he'd probably only sing it when his walls were down and he was craving your touch. Like I just love soft Dabi and this just hit the fluff spot just perfectly to me. High-key HC him as a softie at heart, he's just got some big ass walls he'll only let down once in a blue moon

A collection of things my crackhead friends have said

High schoolers are on crack. “What food group is crack cocaine? Like, is it different than shrooms?” “I wish a hot man would come and ask me if he could serve me m&m’s, one at a time” (said by a straight man) “I thirst for good mental health” “Do you think it’s unhealthy to only eat cheezits for a week? Asking for a friend” “The earth is a donut. No, hear me out. The sky. Is just the ocean in the other side.” “I’m not stupid, I’m mildly lacking brain function” “I don’t care if I have diabetes! I want to eat the WHOLE CAKE.” (Talking about someone’s ass) “Don’t be sad if your main food group is gfuel. It’s mine too.” “Doth thou Juul?” “Nah, bro. I’m telling you, two stories isn’t that far to jump.” “My arm bones crunch when I walk. Listen! Seriously, are you not hearing this? Cronch cronch, there goes your spleen”

Volume 6 Review

With the Volume 6 Finale having Just dropped, all I gotta say is... Holy shit.

This is the best volume in the whole damn series. Like. Volume 3 was my favorite Volume before this, but this blows that out of the park. It was well written, extremely well acted, and with some of the best moments in all of RWBY.

The fight scenes were all spectacular. ((I can't think of a single fight scene that was underwhelming, which Every Volume beforehand had at least one.)) With great choreography and animation while also being extremely clever.

The comedy was on point. ((Especially with Maria "Gives no fucks" Calavera.)) There wasn't a single joke that fell flat.

The story was incredibly fascinating. Every episode left me unable to wait for next week, and there were certain twists and turns that I didn't see coming ((and several that I did, but just because something isn't a surprise doesn't mean it's bad)).

The animation, OH LAWD THE ANIMATION WAS SO FUCKING GOOD. Every character felt alive, every fight scene felt visceral, and the environments came to life. There were several instances where my jaw just dropped in awe.

The character development at play here was fucking great. Every character felt real. Like, real people. Who have multiple facets to their personalities.

Hell, the only thing that I can think of that I actively disliked was the reveal that the Faunus only existed in a godless world.

I laughed, I cried, I cried some more, I went "FUCK YEAH" ((which, to those of you who know me, know that it is my universal seal of approval.)) I was terrified, I was awestruck.

And, just because I can, here are my top 5 episodes of this season

#5: Argus Limited (Episode 1). Oh my lord, what an entrance for Volume 6. And Boy does it come in swinging, with some fucking hilarious comedy, an incredible action sequence, and some really unsettling moments ((*CRONCH*))

#4: Alone in the Woods (Episode 6). Easily the most terrifying episode in all of RWBY. The Apathy Grimm are great and terrifying additions to the roster, and we got to learn more about the Queen of Not Remotely Giving a Single Fuck, Maria Calavera, as well as the silver eyes.

#3: The Grimm Reaper (episode 7): holy shit. We get to see our lord and Savior Maria Calavera in her prime and it is glorious! Also, more gay shit. I'm All about that gay shit.

#2: Lady in the Shoe, Seeing Red, and Our Way (episodes 11, 12, and 13): ok, ok, truthfully I couldn't pick between any one of them. They were all so good. The finale of Volume six kicks into high gear and doesn't let up with Giant Robots, Jewish Godzilla, Goatboi getting stung by a bee, and some of the most poignant moments in all of RWBY. The fights are incredible, the character Moments are wonderful, and the ending almost feels like a celebration of all of RWBY's best moments. Truly beautiful.

#1: The Lost Fable (Episode 3): Honestly, I can't really say anything about this. It has to be seen to be believed. One of the most Breathtaking things I've ever seen in media. Not Just RWBY. Media.

B,

2 weeks?? It’s almost been 2 weeks. I’m gonna write this letter, and then we’re gonna have to talk about how time is a prank. 

So things I’ve been learning about food/the gourmet world: 

Dude, there’s a shorthand for absolutely every-fuckening-thing. For example, if I say (1) no tree nuts (allergy - F/O/BP/D/B/A NOT OK) peanuts OK, the chefs and team understand I’m saying flours, oils, by-products, distillations, bitters, and amari derived from tree nuts are allergies of a guest in the party. Crazy, huh?

If I put a number in front of the word “top,” everyone magically knows I’m talking about a table. So like, if I say “Oh yeah, I held a 2-top for them,” they know I set a table of 2 aside for a potential guest. I’m... still trying to figure out why “top” is the word or if its just because of “table top.” Unsure.

There’s so many ways to make cocktails, and I.... don’t even know how to make one. Maybe that’ll change by the end of the year??

Or not lol. I still am not much of a drinker, but mocktails are always a thing, I guess.

-------------------------------------------------

I really like this thing you said: “how much of our troubles came from wallowing in those limitations rather than trying to overcome them?” 

_____________________________

Hold up, hold up, hair-styling videos? You holding out on me? lol What’s the channel, dude? Drop. That. Link.

Overall, I’m happy to hear about your days alone. With the embroidery, the walks to the library, and all that free time, it seems like those moments were very relaxing, but I get what you’re saying about fun. I’ve been feeling that way, too. 

About mountain climbing - I remember us talking about doing that one day together. If we were to mountain climb, where do you think we should go? Ever had any places in mind? I’ve been trying to think if I’ve done it before, but I haven't. I only know hills; you know mountains.

“Disney is really appealing to that wide audience.” 🤣 🤣 🤣

I honestly spent a good 10 minutes trying to imagine your ceiling fan, it’s crescent moons, and it’s crescent moon noses the first time I read your letter almost 2 weeks ago. 

______________________________

Aw man, I’ve missed this:

1. The most recent food I discovered I liked to eat was squid?? Like, I had whole ass squid tentacles, and it wasn’t bad. I had it at one of the restaurants at work, and the teriyaki sauce it was cooked with was so good??? I’m just in shock. 

2. Artist, Will Darbyshire - Him and his partner Arden have always made these Aesthetic videos that document self in a very pure and honest way. There’s also just a lot of nature in his videos, and they feel v grounding.

Artist, Anna Akana - She just is so cool. She’s the older sister I’ve always wanted. She’s done short films, stop motion animation, was in Ant Man for 2 seconds, is working on an album, and draws. She reminds me that you can be a thinker that has a lot of thinks, and you can decide different ways to artist those thinks every day.

Thinker, Shan Boodram - She’s coming to save all relationships on this precious, polluted blue and green orb.

Thinker - Evan Puschak - TLDR, he’s a man of letters, for sure. I think you’d like him.

3. I’ve been spending most of my time with myself lately, and she’s the person I love spending time with the most. 

I sometimes have been going out with coworkers for dinner, been meeting new people at writing workshops, facetimed brian and sarah, missing you/brian/sarah but I’m really happy with all this time I’ve had for myself these past few weeks. It’s been nice.

4. A good day looks like an empty house, early sunlight, windows wide-open, peeled oranges, a looooong shower, looking through online stores for something I don’t need, a movie that alters at least one, 4-6 hours of planning/organizing/budgeting, and water on water on water, with ice to cronch on. Other times its binging one show all day and ordering Portillos. 

5. I don’t really find myself looking at a particular thing lately, but I’ve been looking, like really /looking/, at my mom and her hair. She’s definitely starting to age p quickly, and it’s weird. Before, it was subtle. Now, I see it, I see more wrinkles, more gray hair. She’s delicate, she’s porcelain, and that scares me a bit, tbh. Most of the time, though, I look at her, and I just admire that she’s a whole bunch of wonderful. Sonia’s..... kinda the best.

________________________

So,

1. What’s a song you’ve been playing on repeat lately? What do you like about it?

2. What’s something about yourself that you’ve always undoubtedly loved? Or what’s something about yourself that took you a while to love? 

3. In arms reach, what the most interesting person/thing/sound/smell near you? What makes it or them so interesting?

4. How about you - what do Berlin’s good days look like? 

5. Not to be a copy cat, but this rat wants to know about the artists and thinkers you’ve been admiring lately, too. Who are they? What about them or their work do you connect with most?

________________________

Ending with a monthly reminder that I miss you and support you so so much.

I'm loving all the meta you and others are coming out with for how/why S7 went so off the rails and could have been done better. How do you think DW views the last season/the series as a whole? So many different parts of the fandom are pointing out everything that went wrong, but what are the chances DW ever sees any of this? Do they pay attention to fandom at all? Most "official" reviews seem positive. What reactions do you think they're concerned about (if any)/what #'s are they looking at?

I can’t speak for what DW is looking at, although I will say that I find it highly disturbing they’re not scheduling their marketing tweets with a tool like hootsuite or that ilk. Which could mean they’re not using keyhole or brand24 to track their keywords, in which case they’re even more clueless than I’d thought.

But I can tell you what data is out there, and you’ll get to find out along with everyone else who’s been poking me for a thorough data cronch. Working on summarizing the past 2.5 weeks. Should be up by this time tomorrow, maybe sooner if I can squeeze out the time around real life.

THIS WEEK’S SHENANNYGOATS THAT STARTED LATE because my bus was fucking late jgklkjlg and the closest we’d all come to actual death

what’s in the chest? Two things that we conveniently needed for our level 3 specializations! (Disguise Kit and Thieves’ Tool for Gilly and Julienn respectively)

“goawaygoawaygoawaygoaway” WE WANT TO, TRUST US

Shaman swings at a babadook with his shillelagh and it kinda.... mushes through it? “Like hitting pudding” EEW

and now we have to roll initiative.... THANKS, SHAMAN

Gilly hits it with a rapier and feels it connect with bone inside of it!! We can feel it beat, like a heart, before it disappears with a smile on its face by turning into black mist

Julienn swiped at it with their claws and missed..... and got thoroughly grossed out because IT WAS GROSS

the second one reacts like it doesn’t even register the hit that Shaman landed, but still dies in the same manner 

Jack stabs it with a dagger, but the babadook like.... pulls it through itself and it gloops onto the floor behind it (GROSS)

 it starts breaking its own bones (’lov the cronch’ ‘YOU STOP THAT’), it has too many fingers and looks like it’s pulling teeth into its own jaw, its eye sockets are widening but THE EYES AREN’T EW EW EW OH GOD (we had to make Wisdom saving throws that we thankfully all passed)

IT USED ITS FUCKING REACTION TO SPLIT INTO TWO

Julienn used Vicious Mockery against the clone (’YOU SLIMEY BASTARD’) and instead of disappearing into smoke, it gets fuckin’ BLOWN ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE OTHER ROOM where it shatters into pieces.... though its face is still whole and looking up at us from the floor 8| Good job, me

Jack swings at it and slices it clean in half but it bloops back together, this time with no bones.... interesting

we had to roll another wisdom save but this time Jack and Gilly weren’t so lucky... they see their deepest fears EVERYWHERE and have become Frightened (Gilly is afeared of rats, whereas Jack.... It Is A Mystery)

Gilly manages to attack the babadook but this time it hits what looks like a heart but it’s made of bone, and it beats with a horrible grinding, crunching noise! It does not reappear though

we find out that it’s NOT undead... whatever the hell it is, it’s definitely weird

it smiles and licks its lips, and cuts its tongue on its own jagged teeth, and looks directly at Julienn, using Julienn’s voice and replaying their earlier Vicious Mockery, which leads us to think perhaps it can just replay what it’s heard

ITS HAND IS CREEPING ALONG THE GROUND AND LATCHES ONTO SHAMAN’S ANKLE

GILLY PUT ON A FLAG BEARING GERALDINE’S SYMBOL AROUND HER SHOULDERS LIKE A CAPE AND IMMEDIATELY WENT BRAINDEAD.......

we found 4 of her 8 cursed artifacts

with Gilly out of commission, Julienn picked the lock on the other chest and got a Bag of Holding.... and our brilliant plan was to put Gilly in there and have her head poking out so she can breathe like some kind of weird freaking elven backpack

so our plan of attack..... is have Shaman change into a giant goat, Julienn cast Enhance Ability on it to give him Bull’s Strength and have him barrel through all of these fuckin babadooks

...aaaaaand we botched it. DAMN IT IT WAS SUCH A COOL PLAN TOO

we are in a lotta trouble jesus christ I HATE THESE THINGS though at least a Bag of 1000 Ball Bearings burst open and created some difficult terrain behind us

ITS RIBS HAVE EYES ON THEM AAAAAGGHGHGHGHGHHH to be fair our DM is very good at describing things in a really gross, visceral way

poor Jack got hit with Suggest and was suggested to ‘stay behind.... save your friends’

Julienn cast Shatter and it was very cool, and also did a Sweet Flip over fire with Gilly in tow.... pretty dang cool, if we weren’t about to fucking DIE

okay so shit has gone _so incredibly sideways_ that Shaman actually transforms himself into a Giant Wolf Spider

JULIENN SAVES THE FUCKING DAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY by sniping the lead babadook through ANOTHER babadook with Vicious Mockery!!! Turns out this guy was actually a monster called a Boogeyman

there’s an old guy in the room wearing a mask of the undead and.... he reveals that he created a ‘recipe’ from one of Geraldine’s books and used it on the guard captain D:

“I’M GONNA BE THE SECOND BUT GREATEST LICH TO EVER EXIST” -POOF- -dramatic ending title music- (his name was Sircus)
