#nonnies getting curious!

[broken-synchronicity]

it has occurred to me: y'know how english has random bits and bops from other languages? imagine kal just babbling about stuff from home [nostalgia griping b/c they can't really do anything else sometimes] and people will hear random words like 'restaurant' and whatever else and kal doesn't even register the fact that it sounds like mangled attempts at more common languages

IT WOULD YOU'RE SO RIGHT

Take words like kindergarten (german), patio (spanish), anonymous (greek), cartoon (italian), cookie (dutch), lemon (arabic), and KETCHUP IS CHINESE

There are just so many random normal words in English that are either lifted straight from the language or slightly to the left that they almost sound like the word

It would sound very garbled to those unfamiliar with English 🤣

[teecupangel]

So since I saw the corgi Desmond Idea for yew branches, all I can think about is if someone else get reincarnated alongside desmond as another dog. Like say Altair somehow gets reincarnated as a dog, thinking Saluki or Dobermann, too. Also because I find it amusing to think about him yoinking Corgi Desmond because he glows gold. And Desmond who was just chilling in his bag wondering why this dog just snatched him. Along with Jacob having to chase after this surprisingly sneaky dog, who somehow keeps out maneuvering him as he tries to get the Desmond back. Just kept thinking about this when I saw the idea :)

Okay, so nonny, there’s this movie I love as a kid. Used to rewatch it a lot. It’s called Cats & Dogs and it’s such a dumb movie but kid!me loved it so when I read this, I just remember that movie and you know what.

Screw eagle symbolism.

Corgi!Desmond gets yoinked by this bigass dog just as Jacob finally got him from those thugs who stole him from his sweet mom and Desmond is just…

He is sooooo done with this day.

He just wants to go home, take a long bath with the right temperature of water and with two maids massaging him as they clean him then sleep on his comfy doggie bed (which is the fluffiest pillow in the whole Disraeli household. He dragged it out of the Disraeli couple’s bed himself, damn it.)

But he can’t do that because this big ass Canaan dog stole him from what may or may not be an actual Assassin (FINALLY! Where the hell have they all been???) and this was also the perfect way to see how good the Assassin was.

…

…

…

He sucked.

And Desmond wasn’t even sure if the Assassin was just that bad or if this dog that has now dognapped him was just too good?

He was sure that this fucking dog just did a leap of faith and that was a sentence Desmond didn’t think he would ever think about.

This fucking life…

Finally, the big dog managed to shake the Assassin off by diving inside a hole that was just small enough for him but definitely too small for the Assassin. From there, Desmond realized that they were in some kind of underground…

Were those bones?

Oh fuck.

They were in the catacombs.

Desmond finally turned to face the dog and tried to say “Hey, man. I have a home. Just let me go and I won’t bite you.” even though he knew none of the animals he tried to talk to could understand him.

But this dog just went and said through gritted teeth as he kept his jaws clamped on the handles of Desmond's bag, “I’d like to see you try, little one.”

And Desmond’s just… BSOD.

What the fuck.

The dog talked.

He understood Desmond.

And Desmond understood him.

What the ever living fuck.

Too surprised by the sudden appearance of another talking dog, Desmond just let the big dog take him to one of the the deeper catacombs and…

Holy shit.

Was that…

He was pretty sure those clothes in the middle of the room was some kind of Isu clothes similar to what Minerva and Juno wore.

Oh great.

The dog who kidnapped him must be some kind of Isu bullshit that Desmond didn’t want to deal with.

And he was just finally getting used to being a lazy dog.

That’s when he hears another voice…

A more familiar voice.

“You brought another one, Altaïr?”

And a Maremma Sheepdog walks towards them as the Canaan Dog dropped his bag to the floor. He looked at Desmond and sniffed him, making Desmond freeze, before gasping.

“Altaïr, this dog smells like he takes a bath everyday. Did you steal him?”

“I stole him from one of those novices.”

And now that Desmond heard the dog’s name, he realized that, yeah, the dog also sound so fucking familiar. He didn’t realize it before because his voice and words had been a bit hard to understand since he had been holding the handles of Desmond’s bag with his teeth.

“The woman or the man?”

“The man.”

“Ah, poor boy.”

“That doesn’t mean you should steal someone’s dog.” Another familiar voice said and Desmond’s eyes widened even further as he saw a…

Holy shit.

Wolf?

No.

A wolfdog.

And that was the day Desmond realized that he wasn’t the only Assassin to have been reincarnated as a dog.

The Canine Brotherhood’s main mission?

To find and stop the perpetrators of the disappearing cats and dogs in London!

Evidence suggests that the Templars are involved and they have a lead.

They go to a warehouse that was supposed to be abandoned. Instead, it is filled with dogs and cats that are weirdly docile.

And learn the true perpetrators!

The Feline Templar Rite!

AND IT IS UP TO THE CANINE BROTHERHOOD TO STOP THEM!

Desmond Disraeli (He comes from a rich family and no, he will not accept Desmond Milyipyip)

And, yes, Desmond is the only small dog in their Brotherhood and he hates it. They can easily pick him up using his nice bag. It's embarrassing but it means he doesn't have to walk which is a plus. (All dogs except Desmond are supposed to be native in the Assassin's birthplace)

On the other hand, yes. I did base the Templar cats on a bald cat, a cat who looks like he'll throw a temper tantrum, and a cat with a mustache without a care if they're native to each Templar's birthplace.

(In my defense… I should be sleeping already. I cannot be held responsible for whatever crazy idea my sleep-deprived brain comes up with)

[da-proti-toku-grem]

what christmas tradition would you most like to do with jure?

I didn't know if you meant Christmas as the holiday in general or just the Christmas day, so I did the first one :)

I couldn't think of any special tradition so I went with some more classic ones here (but maybe people outside Spain don't do them and they think they're interesting idk hhzisnsjx)

‌The New Year's Eve Chimes (is that the word for "campanadas"?)

Basically, on New Year's Eve, when the clock is about to strike 12am, we have the tradition of eating 12 grapes (one for each of the bells, 1 second apart each), which represent the 12 months of the year and it is said that it'll give us luck in the new year

It's really funny to see people trying to swallow 12 grapes in 12 seconds and trying not to choke on them (just saying lol), so I think it would be fun to see him try it

It may seem easy if you've never tried it, but trust me, many people can't do it (I always do tho 😌)

‌See the Three Wise Men Parade

On the afternoon of January 5th we have these "cabalgatas" (something similar to a parade but not quite) with several floats that go around the town/city. In these floats there are people dressed as the Three Wise Men (+ many children and people helping of course) and basically what they do is throw candy and toys/balls/small things so people can catch them

I'd love to go out with him to see the floats and try to get lots of candy. We could use my grandpa's old tactic of taking an open umbrella and turning it upside down so that all the candy falls inside (leaving some for the kids obviously). Would they call us childish? Probably. Would either of us care? Nope

I wanted to show some pics but this is all I could find (they're usually so beautiful from up close but you can't really see them well here)

‌Eat the "Roscón de Reyes"

On January 6th, we eat the "roscón de reyes", which usually looks something like this:

The interesting thing is that inside the cream there are 2 things hidden: a little figurine and a bean (as you can see in the photo). The person who finds the figurine in their piece is crowned "king" and gets to keep the plastic crown. On the other hand, the person who finds the bean must pay for the roscón.

Just imagine Jure's face if he finds the figurine and gets to put on the crown 🥹. And if not, at least he could eat the roscón, we all know he's got a sweet tooth

‌Bonus: Bake cookies and watch Christmas movies

It's not really something I do every year, so I wouldn't consider it a tradition, but last year my friends and I met up at a friend's house to make cookies and we had so much fun!

You know, being in our pajamas, making cookie dough together while telling stories and laughing and singing christmas songs, but not without throwing a little flour at each other (and maybe some chocolate chips too), making shapes for the cookies and decorating them however we want. I would make one in the shape of a kitty for him as a surprise :3

Then we can play some board games by the fireplace while we wait for the cookies to cool, and finally, we can watch a Christmas movie (or any kind of movie, I don't care) while we cuddle under a warm blanket and eat cookies :)

[faebriel]

thinks abt a c!niki anastasia au

this is an interesting one.......

on one hand, i have a lot of affection for c!niki as The One Normal Guy in a group of weirdos - in a world of gods and god complexes and all the people that fall somewhere in between, she is just some guy. and in a story like dsmp you wouldn't always get the perspective of just some guy, except this time you do, and it's just as rich and sensational as everyone else's (if not more who said that). so whenever these kind of aus roll around part of me is like ehhh her just some guyness though. BUT ALSO, puffychu singing paris holds the key to your heart. in a crowd of thousands even. (something something puffy amnesia? forget the palace? burning down l'mantree/destruction of l'manberg = opening scene?) and what am i going to say to c!niki in a spinny dress, no? hmmm. much to consider

[saltiestcoconut]

Aiyusa prompt request: Would it be ok to request a sort of related ficlet to ur prev fic? I liked the AU one where Ai was a dragon living on top of a tower, and would love to request for some cuddly fluff about them.

/dabs eyes damn its been over a year since I've written that little fic and the fact that there's still people who think about it????? Makes me so happy?????? Aaaaaaaaaaaa thank you nonny wjkdjsjdjd

You asked for cuddly fluff is story time close enough? It is now

I hope you enjoy~

The first thing Ai sees is a firefly sitting on light blue hair. Then, a face peaked out from the window ledge and climbed onto the window sill. The image of a firefly nestling on Yusaku's hair is adorable, and Ai keeps his eyes firmly on Yusaku in the hopes of searing the image onto his mind.

The firefly flies off, Yusaku's wild movements disturbing the insect as he climbs through the window. Ai leans against the window sill as Yusaku moves his legs to give Ai space. 

Ai dangles an arm and reaches downwards to pluck one of the white flowers. Clawed fingers gently pluck the flower's petals one at a time and send them tumbling down from the window. He's not looking at Yusaku, but from this close, he can tell Yusaku is taking a moment to catch his breath.

"Why does the vine shrivel up in the morning?" Yusaku asks, eyes watching the flutter of the discarded petals. 

"Hm? The vine dies during the day? I suppose that means it's tied to my magic, then, it's stronger at night."

"You… you don't know the vine is dead in the morning?" 

"No. That's when I sleep. I would be way too bored if I didn't." Ai turns to Yusaku, "what about you? Do you sleep during the day?" 

Yusaku presses his head against his knees. "Does it matter?"

Ai frowns. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't. Ai has been alive long enough to know such details aren't important. 

Ai grabs Yusaku's ankles and yanks them fast enough for Yusaku to nearly curl into himself. His legs jerk with the instinct to pull from Ai's grip, but he has no space to pull away. "What are you—" 

"Just because something isn't important doesn't mean it's not worthy of attention," Ai says firmly. He can hear Yusaku's heart pounding. Yusaku raises his head to look at Ai. "I think every aspect of you is worthy of my attention." 

Yusaku's eyes darted away. 

Ai lets go of Yusaku's ankles and drifts off to the other side of the small room. He carries his bench and sits on it to stare up at Yusaku. "Do you like romance, Yusaku?" 

"Romance? Can't say, it's not like I've tried to form a relationship with someone." 

"How about romantic stories? Have you read any?" 

"No. I've been too busy to read for pleasure." 

Ai pouts. "Then make one up. Tell me a story, Yusaku." 

Yusaku presses his lips together and furrows his brows. "Okay, sure. Once upon a time there was a tyrant king who ruled over a city with an iron fist. No one could do anything in secrecy because the king had a security force that kept watch over everyone. The king was married to a beautiful princess who was beloved for her compassion and radiant smile. She became so popular that she was eventually called the sun as she was a beacon of light for the poor people."

"But inside the castle, the princess was just as unhappy as the rest of the subjects. She loathed the king as much as everyone else did but couldn't do anything against the king. She wasn't alone, though, because she had someone else she loved— the head knight who led the king's security force. Through their time together, the princess fell madly in love with the knight, and they exchanged a vow. The princess would always remain by the knight's side, and in exchange, the knight would always keep watch over her."

"Even if the knight and the princess couldn't be together, they forced themselves to be content with what they had, even if the king was mad with jealousy."

Ai tilts his head. "If the king was so jealous, why didn't he kill the knight? Or why didn't the knight kill the king? If he loves the princess that much, he should just take her." 

"Maybe the king genuinely loved the princess and didn't want to make her sad. Maybe he just wanted to show off his power and didn't think the knight was a big enough threat to deal with."

Ai looks thoughtful. "But—"

"Are you going to let me continue the story?" 

"Sorry! Please continue." 

"So, um… where was I?" 

"The king was jealous." 

"Right. So the king was mad with jealousy and sent the knight away on a fake diplomatic trip. When the knight got back, the princess had a child and a plan to escape. She asked the knight to escape with her, and the knight agreed to help her. On the night they agreed to sneak up, the king found out about their plan and showed up to confront the lovers right before leaving the city behind."

Ai rests his head on Yusaku's belly and loosely wraps his arms around his abdomen and upper thighs. He watches him with vivid golden eyes, more reptilian than human. "And then what happened?" 

Yusaku blinks, all previous thoughts gone in an instant. "And then they died. The end." 

Ai's jaw drops. "Wait, what? They died? Just like what? Did the king kill them?" 

"Sure, why not." 

"That's a terrible ending, Yusaku! You promised me romance!" 

"There's nothing more romantic than dying alongside the one you love. That way neither of them have to live without the other." 

"Yusaku, that's so sad. You're awfully pessimistic." 

"Perhaps you're too much of a romantic." 

"Sorry for believing in love!" 

Yusaku's heart pounds against his chest— had been for a while. He grabs Ai's arms and peels them off of him. "I have to go."

Ai straightens his posture and pouts. "Already? You just got here!" 

"It's getting late."

Ai frowns, but then sits with his back turned to Yusaku. If he tries to force Yusaku to stay, there's a chance he won't return. "You’re right."

"I’ll see you tomorrow?"

The sound of metal dragging against the stone floor. Ai rests his head against his knees. "I’ll be here," comes his muffled reply.

Awkward silence swiftly drapes itself between the two of them. Ai doesn't want to watch Yusaku go, so he keeps his head on his knees. It's an awkward position, he's still not used to being able to curl into himself this much. Yusaku gives his head a few awkward pats, and for some reason, it makes him feel better about his departure. Then, he descended the tower.

im the anon who sent the guess the ts song ask with the clues being rick riordan and the late 2000s!!

your guesses were very smart dw!!

i'll give you another clue:

the percy jackson series

if you're still a bit stuck here's a hint:

10

good luck!!

hiiiiii different question anon lol i'm sorry i'm so stupid that i've gotten two answers again (still blanking on late 2000s my memory is shit lol)

so 10th book = blood of olympus and my two thoughts are bad blood (percy nose bleed that awakens gaea) or clean (because there's that scene (i think?) of percy and jason and piper almost drowning??)

[lovecolibri]

SaL anon here friend for just a brief note. This episode just made me sad. Not the good sad-but-the-hurt-comfort-will-be-worth-it sad, just sad. I'm not going to bring The Discourse into your inbox, but I think I'll just pretend this episode doesn't exist (except of course for the fabulous attempt at sex doll resuscitation by Nancy) until next week. Also where the hell are Paul, Marjan, and Mateo??!! These characters are more interesting than just fun banter, give them screentime dammit!!

This episode was....fine. Like, I laughed at some of the Owen/O'Brian shenanigans but I do not give one single fuck about O'Brian so why would I care about his neo-nazi nephew? I said in the tags on a couple of posts that I'm not here to watch the FBI investigate a terrorist plot, or some kind of Criminal Minds torture-fest (next week is the episode I'm kind of dreading a bit 🤷🏻‍♀️), there are other shows out there for people who enjoy that! I'm here to watch first responders go out on calls! Sometimes they're funny, sometimes suspenseful and exciting, sometimes the crew is in danger and it's stressful, and sometimes they get confronted with something that applies to their personal life and helps to move that arc along for them.

We have.....not gotten a lot of first responding in these last two episodes. And consequently, we are getting very little for the 126, and basically NOTHING for Paul, Marjan and Mateo except for a few quips. Nancy too, but Brianna has ATE every scene she's been in this season and she at least got to have some input on Tommy's storyline in the first 2 episodes. I don't just want Paul, Marjan, and Mateo (Grace, Nancy, Judd as well but they're getting *something* at least) each to have 1.5 episodes centered around them, I want to see them involved in other characters' stories every week and doing their jobs on multiple calls! We had ONE team call out during the episode these past two weeks and probably the same next week. This is like, the other side of the coin from the problem the OG is having which is too many calls with nothing to tie into the mains' arcs and long set up to fill time, where as LS is having some enjoyable calls but so few of them and they are trying to cram too much outside plot into the episode so we loose the first responder element a bit.

As for the Carlos/Tarlos stuff it's also...fine. (I'm more worried about them leaning into the creepy factor next week like his last detective storyline because that shit is Not For Me.) I personally enjoyed the scenes with Iris and Carlos (though it's hard to reconcile them being so ride-or-die after having zero idea they were anything more than vaguely acquainted through Michelle before now), and I liked that he believed her when the detective didn't and I like that they aren't trying to pretend like she's "cured" now. I'm not too worried about the angst because I get Carlos kinda shutting down and blaming himself and everything he and TK brought to Iris' doorstep all at once, but I feel like we aren't getting ANY idea what is going on in TK's head. He had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene with Tommy but that was all about Iris not where his head is at, he and Carlos aren't talking about it, does Owen even KNOW?! Because we haven't seen Owen and TK even talk this season (WHAT?!), he hasn't gotten to sit with Judd or Nancy or any of the 126 and vent, not even his sponsor has had a mention! This IS a Carlos centric storyline so I'm not surprised we're seeing his POV and his interactions with Iris, but because the show is spending SO. MUCH. FUCKING. TIME on this Owen plot right now too, were not getting to see TK's side of this (though hopefully next week!), while still having time for a call (singular because god forbid these first responders get to do any first responding).

It's all just...fine. It's fine to watch, I'm laughing, and holding my breath, and yelling for Carlos to look out behind him, but then the hour ends and it's all just....fine. I get ending on the Carlos cliffhanger, but I would rather have some angst in the form of TK calling and calling and leaving measages to ask when Carlos is coming home overlayed by Carlos getting taken, than to save it all for next week and rely on torture for the angst, but that's just a personal preference for me and I wanted more than just one episode of TK being frantic that something is wrong and Carlos isn't answering. 🤷🏻‍♀️

To end on a lighter note, Nancy deserves an Oscar, even if it's justa handmade one by the team, for her dramatic performance reacue of Crissy (alexa, play "Chrissy Wake Up"), and Tommy and TK can get little mini Supporting Role statues as well. Definitely a highlight of the season so far.

[absolute-flaming-trash]

oooh! I'd love to ask many of those! If I'm allowed to ask more than one then: 9 13 17 23 36 44 49!

I won't lie, I straight up said "oh damn" when I saw how many you wanted to ask, I'm happy to answer all of them!

9. How do you find a new fic to read?

Delving into the unholy territory of the x reader tag on here and AO3. I haven't read a lot of fanfiction lately, though, life has been wild.

13. Are there any tropes you used to like, but don't anymore?

Might not exactly be a trope per se, but I used to be a fan of comedic or "crack" fics, but that shifted really dramatically after I started to create content rather than just consume it. I can only really discuss it with two really close friends now.

17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?

I'm truly drawing a blank on this one, the only thing I can come up with is a Vampire!Illumi AU. I've had an idea about that for about a year or so, maybe longer. Time doesn't exist.

23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written, but would like to?

Hehehehe

Reader who has some kind of sense/primary action taken away, either through birth or life event. I've thought about Blind!Reader and Mute!Reader before, each for different character pairings, but they haven't made it past the daydreaming phase yet.

36. Do you visualize what you read/write about?

Answered here!

44. If you take/write prompts: do you prefer dialogue or scenario/narrative prompts?

Dialogue all the way. If it's not insanely specific, and it really works with the character, I'm usually able to come up with an idea pretty fast.

I say 2 months behind on my 600 follower dialogue requests

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

Trying to finish up the last of the 600 follower dialogue requests, but other than that I haven't had the time to work on anything else!

[frances-limon07]

So you have pierced nipples?

[broken-synchronicity]

I was remembering some vignettes the other day, and I remember Crowley said that magic is affected by imagination. In book 1, Deuce and Grim both struggle to paint a rose red. Cater's advice to them heavily emphasizes, "Try to picture a red rose in your head."

I think about this a lot. Do people in twst suffer from some sort of aphantasia? Crowley mentions that mages will strengthen their imaginations through art and music. So it's probably a common thing for people to have poor imaginations in twisted wonderland.

Huh, that's an interesting thought! But we have to remember that in canon twst, mages are the minority.

So, the mage populous being affected by aphantasia? Plausible. But the entire populous of twst? Absolutely not.

The level of imagination would be no different from us. Some people have an exemplary imagination, while others have a mediocre one. This is just more easily found when it comes to mages because of how magic functions in twst.

On the case of Deuce and Grim: neither are artistically inclined, Deuce is shown to lean towards physical aspects and has a simpler thought process than others, and Grim is literally a cat monster who barely understood humans in general, let alone been exposed to any kind of prompt for imagination. It's possible they could suffer from a form of aphantasia, if you want to think that, but I think the scene was just meant to emphasize how new to magic they were, rather than a sign of either suffering from aphantasia.

But, this is an idea! I hadn't really considered such a thing until you brought it up. A mage with aphantasia must be a huge struggle 🤔

[maybeimamuppet]

alright, I've loved the 1996 Matilda movie for years, and i just recently watched the musical. TIME FOR A MOVIE REVEIW NO ONE ASKED FOR I absolutely love Matilda and Miss Honeys character. They're both so pretty, and i especially loved the actor who played Matilda. And I loved the first song Matilda did!! The lyrics and melody were amazing. I also love the outfit!! The dresses on Miss Honey and Matilda are sooo pretty. And the school uniforms, amazing!! Also the coreography in the movie is amazing!! Especially that girl in the red berret, she can DANCE. I also love how they added the character of Miss Phelps! I think she's so funny when listening to Matilda's stories, and she was a really good addition. However, three thing I disliked. First, I KNOW ITS A MUSICAL BUT THERE WERE SO MANY SONGSS. i loved revolting children and the one that goes 'even if you're little you can do a lot' but there was a song about every 5 minutes 😭Second, I wish they didn't change Matilda's character so much. In the 1996 movie, she was a shy and timid girl who was beat down and belittled by her parents, but then she meets Miss Honey, who helps to give her confidence and helper her to beleive in herself. In the musical, Matilda is already very confident, and loud and sure of herself. And while that's an amazing quality to have, but here it's not very accurate. Third, I wish Miss Honey and Matilda interacted more!! There was no relationship building 😭 Miss Honey went to Matilda's house for 3 minutes, had one or two lessons with Matilda, and then adopted her. Okay thank you for reading this!! -🐸

ooh okay!! this is really interesting to me as someone who fell in love with the musical first (like the stage production not 2022 movie)

i watched 1996 in second grade with my class and i literally hid under the table the entire time with my eyes closed and ears plugged which was impressive for a seven year old with adhd lmao

the characterizations in 2022 are absolutely amazing and i completely agree that they’re both absolutely beautiful (tho honestly everyone in the movie is?)

for what’s marketed kind of as a “kids” musical the lyrics and musicality of the songs in both the stage production and the movie are so deep and rich and the way they tie into each other and are all similar and different just blows me away every time

THE COSTUMES IN THIS MOVIE ARE WILD. every time i watch i notice something different with the costumes. miss honey’s dress has hot air balloons on it at certain points and little houses at others. matilda’s dress is the same at the end as it is at the beginning but in color instead of blue. THEY SING ABOUT BLUE WHEN MATILDA WEARS BLUE WHEN THEY MEET. there’s truly so much there it’s nuts and YES the uniforms are so cool!

red beret girl’s character is named hortensia and she’s played by meesha garbett (not sure on the last name but i think that’s it) and she is INCREDIBLY talented (also the girl who backflips off the lockers in revolting children sends me every time)

mrs phelps is truly so special to me it’s unreal. i think in the movie she’s aesthetically absolutely perfect. in terms of personality she’s not my favorite, some of the ones on stage lean a little more into the comedic potential and honestly a little hard into the emotional side too but i still absolutely adore movie version

now this is where we disagree!! i was so relieved when i found out how many songs made it through because they’re all so critical to the story. i’m still angry about the i think literally only one of miss honeys that was cut for time. i love love love love being jammed with music in stories like this because songs are just filled to the brim with characterization and give you such an insight into the story and the characters in such a short time that a straight show can’t necessarily provide. musically and lyrically both can tell you so much and open your eyes to so much new.

i do definitely understand being overwhelmed by it but personally i disagree there lol

revolting children and naughty are definitely both so high on my list. revolting children is a certified banger. and naughty in the movie was honestly cuter than i was expecting but that’s one of the first songs i fell in love with in the show and again has such a special place in my heart. it’s such a rich insight into who matilda is i just. mwah i love

and again we disagree!! i personally don’t think ‘96 matilda is shy and timid but i do agree that even still she’s a lot more bold in ‘22 and the stage production. but to be fair that’s on purpose, when the show was originally being produced and written and whatnot they wanted to differentiate themselves a lot from other shows that were well known at the time like annie for example, where the story kind of just. happens to them. matilda needs to have agency and drive her own story. and i personally always loved the twist of the child being the sort of hero for the adult

i’ve always seen matilda and miss honey as both mirrors and foils of each other in a strange way. miss honeys abuse makes her fawn and freeze, she’s a people pleaser and doesn’t know the strength she has inside her to fight back against the people who’ve hurt her until she encounters matilda. matilda’s abuse makes her sort of bristly and conniving. she’s clever, she knows trying to fight back outright will only make things worse for her, but she’s also not willing to sit back and let things happen to her without her consent. she says herself that she doesn’t understand people like that and she comes up with sneaky ways to drive her own story and i personally really like that

i also personally don’t agree that it’s not an accurate depiction. miss honeys abuse at least in 2022 is very physical and emotional, so her being the way she is and a little more passive in her experiences makes sense because that’s how she adapted to be, to hide in the background and avoid being perceived so people can’t get in and hurt her

matilda’s seems to be mostly neglect and verbal abuse. her hair is unbrushed and she has to feed herself, people don’t care about her experiences, etc. speaking from experience neglect like that forces you to grow up so, so much quicker than any child should have to. she’s strong because she has to be and because she doesn’t have anyone else to be strong for her. if she’s not, she won’t survive. she has to be capable enough to care for herself. and it also does make you very very very angry so like launching folks out of windows tracks lol

i DO agree here tho i do wish we got to see more of them together. what we do see is so sweet and 2022 obviously follows the beats of the movie more closely where a lot of their bonding experience was shortened or removed for time so they could fit everything in to an hour and a half show lol. i love 1996 mostly because you get to see so much of their relationship dynamic and get a really deep understanding of why they understand each other so much and work so well together. i think there’s a good bit of that in the musical versions still but i do agree that it’s not quite as rich as you see in 1996 with them sneaking into the big house together and everything.

although i did kind of like the sort of urgency to it in 2022. we don’t see them getting to know each other SUPER well (though they clearly do even tho we don’t see every single moment) and miss honey is still so desperate that matilda stays and they stay together. i think that’s kind of cute in a heartbreaking way but again i do agree that i wish we got to see more.

Reading your hybirds, makes me wonder, who's the biggest (in physical body form) in between them all? 🤔🤔

Seeing you always describe hybird Simon like he is the biggest/alpha amongst them all? So i don't know if he is just huge in physical form, or you buffed him up with the hybird breed.

/gen curious ask

And their knot size from biggest if u will ahaaaaa who said that....waaowww

Dw nonnie this is a very important question!

Out of the big four it's Simon who's the physically biggest and strongest and most virile, therefore he's a kind of unofficial alpha/pack leader; he's the main protector and gets to mate first with Kitty♡

Then we have Johnny who is slightly smaller than Ghost but very bulky and strong like an ox! He's younger than Si, still very excitable and very...passionate when it comes to life be it guarding the chickens or mating :(

Then in regards of size we have Roach whose canon height I don't know but I write him as generally smaller and less bulky than Simon and Johnny, more lean like a real Dalmatian! My boy Gary may be quiet but he's a little shit who always seems to get in trouble with Johnny since they're almost the same age and feed off of each others energy.

Then we have Kitty!Reader who is just generally described as smaller than Simon and Johnny so you can apply whatever you want♡ She's a 'lazy menace' because her only real job is to walk around the farm and raport back to Simon if she caught something weird happening, otherwise she likes to lounge in the sun or in her pretty pink blankets and pillows that she managed to put in her nest in the barn♡

Bonus!!

Bull!Price is for now the largest hybrid! Strong and bulky with burly shoulders, mean horns and a carpet of thick hair down his well build chest, tummy and down his thick happy trail. Very big and usually quite calm but has a very no-nonsense attitute and will chase away anyone who is disturbing him when he naps :(( Kitty likes to bat at him playfully and Price will just blink lazily and chuff at her and nose down her soft body to nudge against her hip or pussy and lick at her with his broad tongue to which she mewls and scurries away while John just chuckles at her💔

on the rocks

『 ♡ 』  k.bakugo x fem!reader ꒰ pro-hero au | age 24 | friends to fwb ꒱ ⇢ your week couldn’t get any worse. between a screw up at work and getting dumped out of the blue, you needed to desperately let off some steam. thank goodness the girls were more than happy to take you out for the night in the city and spoil you with a good time. everything’s fine until you receive a text that spirals into an unpredicted hookup.

꒰ tags & warnings ꒱ 18+ MDNI mentions of alcohol, mild/implied smut, suggestive texting, friends to friends with benefits, heavy flirting, sexually comfortable reader, reader went through a break-up, soft bakugo, fluffy ꒰ cross posted to ao3 | wc; ~2.6k ꒱ -`✧ katsuki bakugo masterlist

The bartender hands you the drink you ordered, nodding a thanks when you smile at her. You’re not drunk, per se, but you’re definitely buzzed - that warm and fuzzy feeling dancing through your veins, letting you relax for the first time all week. Tonight's goal was to think about absolutely nothing, to let go of all the shit weighing on your shoulders. Even if it's just for one night, anything to shake away the pain you've been carrying.

But the alcohol seems to be betraying you, forcibly shoving those thoughts to the forefront of your mind instead of burying them.

Memories of your ex begin to haunt you as your mind wanders aimlessly, the dam bursting that was keeping it all at bay. You try and shake your head to rid yourself of the feelings, but they just wouldn’t go away.

God, fuck him and every false promise he made to you.

Some people would consider three months a short amount of time, but to you, it felt like an eternity. He seemed so sweet, caring and kind when you first met, but once he forcibly ripped off your rose-colored glasses? He was nothing but a walking pile of shit.

Suddenly, your phone dings on the bar, lighting up to show a text message notification.

'Who the fuck is texting me so late?'

You blink a few times, re-reading the contact name before it registers: Katsuki Bakugo.

That's rather...odd. He's notorious for going to bed by 9pm - it’s almost midnight. You two were friends, sure, but never the 'text you in the middle of the night' type of friends. Curious to know what he wanted, you open the text to reveal nothing but a picture. When you squint through your hazy vision, you realize just what you're looking at.

It's a picture of Bakugo from the neck down, laying on his bed in nothing but grey sweats that are tugged down and nestled at the bottom of his hip bones. The pose accentuates the delicious deep V below his abs and shows the blonde trail disappearing underneath the hem of his sweatpants. The shadows trace each well-earned muscle, perfectly outlining them in the dim light of his bedroom.

Was this meant for you? Did he send it to you by accident? Your mind goes blank, stopping your previous train of thought about your stupid ex.

…did he send it to you on purpose? Your core pulses at the thought, causing you to cross your legs defensively.

Right on queue, another text pops up, your phone vibrating in your hands.

[katsuki] fuck, sorry. that was an accident

That was a bold face fucking lie, and you knew it. Bakugo's not that stupid to send the wrong text by mistake, especially a selfie. There's no way in hell he would even take a picture like that for someone unless he wanted it to be seen.

Liquid courage does you a favor when you reply, loosely teasing him about it.

[you] damn, katsuki. who's the lucky girl?

You don't notice Mina approaching you with how intently you're staring at your phone screen, startling you when she taps your shoulder.

"What are ya doing over here?! Come dance with us!" she pleads, pulling on your arm. She notices how you're clutching your phone like a lifeline and the coral tint on your cheeks. She quirks an eyebrow at you. "Who are you texting?"

Oh god, find a lie - fast! She'll see right through your facade if you don't.

"No one, just a spam text."

Mina stares at you - shit, she knows you're lying.

"You're a shit liar, babe. Who is it?"

"I got a random text from Katsuki," you admit, the flush in your cheeks deepening at his name. Are you into him, or is it the alcohol in your system? It's no secret that he's attractive, he's always been effortlessly handsome. You'd be lying if you said you hadn't checked him out a few times, but never acted on it. The two of you were friends and you’d assumed he didn't think much else of you.

Mina grabs the phone from your hands, entering in your passcode (how did she know it?!) and reading the texts. Her eyes blow open, pinching the screen to zoom in on the photo. You scramble to grab the phone back to quit her oogling as she's squealing with glee.

"Holy shit!" she yells. "Accident my ass, Blasty. Damn, that's hot."

"Mina! Keep your voice down," you beg, locking the screen to prevent anyone else from seeing.

"No one is listening over this music," she squawks, punching you lightly in the arm. "Come back to us soon you minx!"

And with that, she leaves you at the bar, returning to the dance circle with the rest of your girlfriends. Your phone vibrates a few more times in your hand and recaptures your attention.

[katsuki] thought you'd like a distraction [katsuki] shit, if this is weird, just tell me and i'll fuck off [katsuki] i should've just asked instead

So it was on purpose. You swallow hard as you shakily type out your reply, trying to keep your cool.

[you] it's not weird, what made you think of me? [katsuki] mina wouldn't shut the fuck up about you earlier. sent me pictures of you in the dress you have on, couldn't get it outta my head

When the fuck did Mina do that?! You had thought she was taking pictures of herself earlier at your apartment. That sneaky bitch!

[you] goddammit mina, i'm sorry about her. why would she send them to you?

You see the typing indicator pop up and disappear a few times before his response arrives.

[katsuki] you know how she is, playing matchmaker and shit with everybody [katsuki] honestly? i'm not mad about it [you] oh? [you] so that's why you sent it to me. hell of a pickup line kats [katsuki] fuck off [katsuki] i can't deny that you're gorgeous [you] yeah? feelings mutual

Your face is burning hot, sitting at the bar in disbelief that Bakugo's flirting with you. And it was all because he was infatuated with what you're wearing? He couldn't get it out of his head?

You're still debating on whether you want to yell at or thank Mina for igniting this fire. [katsuki] where are you right now? [you] sitting at the bar, some club in the city

Another picture is delivered to you on screen and has your jaw dropping to the floor.

The picture is closer to his face this time, cut off at his cheekbones and barely illuminated as Bakugo's fingers are parted over his mouth. His tongue is lazily hanging above his bottom lip with a string of salvia attached to one of his fingers.

Your legs twitch as you bite your lip, imagining his face slotted between your thighs.

[you] holy shit, katsuki...fuck [katsuki] find a bathroom or some dark corner [katsuki] there's more where that came from. just say the word, princess

The pet name is doing things to you that you didn't think was possible. Your overloaded with a sudden rush of arousal, heat twisting in your belly at his promise. Grabbing your bag from the chair, you bolt to the nearest bathroom and lock the door behind you. Luckily, this club's on the nicer side, the bathroom not being as scummy as you thought it would be. You set your things on the counter and grab your phone, turning the camera on and pointing it in the mirror.

If that's how he wanted to play? You could play right back.

[you] that deserves a reward

The photo attached shows your breast pushed closed together, daring to spill out of the top of your dress and wearing the poutiest lip you could muster.

Bakugo’s response is immediate.

[katsuki] goddamn, your tits look amazing in that dress [you] would you believe me if i said they look better out of it?

You turn the camera back on and click the record button, sensually slipping the top of your dress down and letting your breasts loosely lay over the bust. Your nipples are pebbled from the rousing desire flowing through you, making them standing perfectly at attention. You give the camera a wink and squeeze one of your breasts playfully. Once you're happy with the video, you send it with no hesitation and readjust your dress. [katsuki] holy fuck [katsuki] you alone? That's not the response you expected, but you roll with it. [you] yeah, one person bathroom

- Incoming Call: Katsuki Bakugo -

You stare at the contact screen for a few seconds before picking up.

"Hey Kat," you greet, nervousness wracking your body, the thrill of the situation making your heart flutter.

"I wanted 'ta hear your voice instead," Bakugo groans, heavy breaths following his words. "I never thought you'd...want to do this with me."

You can't help but laugh under your breath. "Never thought you wanted to, either."

You're thankful that your not drunk off your ass after all - you want to remember this. You're tipsy, but coherent.

And turned on to high heaven.

Bakugo breaks the silence before you cut him off. "I know you're fresh outta-"

"Katsuki, he's not worth mentioning. I'm focused on you right now."

"Yeah? Tell me more."

"I'd love to see what you're hiding under those sweats, Dynamight. I'm practically a puddle just thinking about it. How do you think my lips would look wrapped around you?"

You can hear Bakugo exhale into the phone and groan. He tries to hide it, but fails miserably.

"Cat got your tongue, huh? Too forward?"

"N-no. It's fuckin' hot. Shit," he whispers with baited breath. "God, what club are you at again?"

"The one near Shibuya station. Crystal Crown, I think. Why?"

There's a pause before you hear various clicks and a beep or two from his side before he answers.

"Changed my mind, this ain't happenin' over the phone the first time. You're 15 minutes from my place, I'm comin' to get ya."

You can feel your panties soak from your excitement, clenching at the thought of him just ravaging you in his car and not being able to make it back to his apartment before touching you like a man starved.

"Coming to sweep me off my feet or to fuck my brains out?" The words spill from your lips before you can stop them, but you don’t regret it when you hear Bakugo moan in response - loudly.

"Fuckin’ - have you been stockpilin’ this shit ‘ta say to me?" He laughs. “You’re gonna kill me before I leave the damn apartment.”

“Didn’t think you’d be so easy to play with,” you joke playfully, twirling a piece of your hair in your fingers. “Better get here before I change my mind, find some other rebound in this stupid club.”

“I’ll be your fuckin’ rebound any day of the week, sweetheart. Ain’t no guy in that building better than me.”

His confidence makes it difficult to bite back the moan in your throat.

“Guess you need to prove it. Get your ass over here, I’ll be out front. You better be wearing those sweats.”

You’re about to hang up when you hear Bakugo say something quietly, too muted for you to make out right away.

“Kats?”

He clears his throat before repeating himself, his voice soft and low. “You sure y’want this? I don’t wanna fuck anythin’ up or whatever.”

“You won’t fuck anything up, nothing wrong with friends fucking with no strings attached. I already flashed my tits at you, no turning back now.”

You subtly hear him let go of the breath he was holding and a hollow chuckle, sounding relieved at your answer.

“Good. See ya soon.”

The line ends with a click, leaving you with your thoughts while staring in the bathroom mirror. You didn’t realize how badly you’ve been shaking until you attempt to walk, unexpectedly stumbling like a baby deer on your heels. Once you gather yourself, you exit the bathroom and hurry over to the dance floor. Mina spots you, rolling her eyes and placing her hands on her hips when you approach the group.

“Where the hell have you been?!” She shouts over the music. “I was starting to think you died in there.”

“I’m heading home,” you say while waving your hand, brushing away her worries.

“Oh…oh my god. Is Bakugo coming to get you?!”

“Mina!”

Jiro and Uraraka turn in your direction, yelling in unison. “Bakugo?!?!”

You palm your face, desperately attempting to hide your flared cheeks as the girls squeal and cheer for you.

“Stop it! We’re still just friends!”

Mina clicks her tongue. “Uh-huh. That’s what I said about Kiri a year ago, and now look at us!”

“You gotta let us know how it goes,” Uraraka winks, elbowing you in the rib. "Rumor has it he lives up to his hero name in bed."

Before the interrogation continues, you back away from the group with a smile and turn for the entrance. You slide through the doors and slip out onto the sidewalk and see Bakugo parked out front, smiling as his eyes spot you on the busy street.

Has he ever smiled at you like that before?

He gets out of the car and walks around to greet you.

“Hey Katsu-”

Before you can process what’s happening, Bakugo’s got one hand on your waist and the other on the back of your neck. He gently leans you against the car as he swoops down to place a featherlight kiss to your lips. You squeak before melting into him, wrapping your arms around his neck. Sparks are flying through your whole body - a sensation you haven’t felt for a long time. When the two of you part, his eyes are half-lidded, cheeks flushed and lips parted with shallow breaths.

“Ready to go?” He asks, removing the hand from your neck and stroking your cheek with his thumb. Your heart is in your throat, strangling any words you try to say, so instead, you just nod ‘yes.’ Bakugo walks you to the passenger side and opens the door for you, just like any other time you’ve hung out. When he shuts the door and goes to walk to the drivers side, you finally notice he’s wearing the damn grey sweatpants.

The entire drive back to his place, Bakugo’s hand doesn’t leave your thigh. His fingers danced over your skin, playing with the hem of your dress and gingerly squeezing the plush surface every so often. You return the favor, walking your fingers up the inside of his thigh a few times, stopping short of the growing tent in his sweats. Pulling up to his apartment complex seems to take the breath out of both of you. He turns the car off and you sit idly in silence, it's only a minute or two, but feels like a lifetime.

Bakugo gets out first, jogging over to your side to open your door. He takes your hand as you stand, closing the door behind you and swiftly sweeping you off your feet into his arms, bridal style.

"Wow, do all the girls you bring home get this treatment?" you tease, planting a kiss on his warm cheek.

"Never had the pleasure of bringin' a princess home, so no."

That shuts you up and makes you quiver in his hold.

"I'm honored, sir Dynamight. Take me to your castle!" You swoon, dramatically leaning back with a hand over your head.

Bakugo shakes his head and grins, starting to jog through the parking lot and up the stairs with you. You hold onto his shoulders while giggling uncontrollably, ecstatic to see where the night takes you.

One things for certain - you haven't thought about your ex once. And you look forward to keeping it that way.
