#not that anyone is really bothering me… just kinda complaining about nothing

[floral-hex]

“you should get all your patches from local bands and live shows!” Honey, I’m poor and I live in arkansas, how am I supposed to do that?

It’s difficult to not feel discouraged sometimes when your partner is also an artist and happens to be faster than you in every conceivable way

This doesn’t bother me often because everyone is different and comparing production time and skill against each other or anyone is detrimental mostly and its ok to have your own workflow

but it does weigh on me vaguely sometimes sometimes that she can finish 2-3 full coloured pieces within a week and ive been painfully scratching out the same number but theyre only sketches that ill never revisit within a month

None of this actually matters in the long run, it just makes me feel bad on occasion

you don’t mind being single, really. it’s not really the ‘being single’ part that makes you feel weird, but rather just…not getting to have the same experiences as your friends. always having to sit and nod along when they talk about a date they went on, or how they celebrated a holiday with their partner. it’s exhausting being surrounded by couples all the time. they’re all your friends and you’re happy for them, but when it comes to events like this, you really wish you’d have more single friends.

new year’s eve is supposed to be fun, filled with laughter and loud excitement for the coming year — it is all that, but it’s also you watching your friends huddle together once the countdown to midnight starts, sharing sweet nothings before celebrating the new year with a sickeningly sweet new years kiss.

all while you kind of just stand there, celebrating the arrival of yet another year on your own. for those few lips-locking seconds, at least. is it a little silly to feel left out? of course, but is it really that absurd to want to experience a new years kiss just like everyone else? well, you don’t think so. gyuvin, your best friend, sees things a little differently, though.

“it’s so stupid, i don’t get why you’re so hung up on it,” gyuvin huffs past his snacking on some chips, throwing you a sideways glance. “just think about it, most of them have a different new year’s kiss every year. does that seem like something you want?” you roll your eyes, snatching the bag of chips from his hands. “you don’t get it,” you stuff a handful of chips into your mouth, “it’s romantic. it’s like saying ‘i have no idea what the new year will bring, but at least i will always have you.’ you’re not romantic enough for this.”

gyuvin just gives you a skeptic look, turning his attention back to the drama playing on your tv. it’s silent for a while, both of you a little lost in your respective thoughts until gyuvin quietly speaks up, “does it really bother you? that you don’t have someone to….” he trails off, voice a little unsure. his voice is sincere and doesn’t have the teasing tone it had earlier so you’re a little caught off guard.

you clear your throat, answering in an equally small voice, “well…yeah, kinda? i don’t know. i just think it would be…nice, for a change, you know? i want to experience stuff like that too, instead of just always watching from the sidelines.” gyuvin nods, seemingly understanding where you’re coming from, and that was that. for now, at least.

you didn’t think much of that little one off conversation, neither of you bringing it up again in the weeks that followed. though, unbeknownst to you, that seemingly unimportant conversation kept knocking at the back of gyuvin’s mind every single day. he thought about it an embarrassing amount, really. he kept telling himself that it was because he thought you were being silly, and all those times he thought about being the one giving you your new year’s kiss were definitely nothing more than fleeting, stupid thoughts. nothing more.

which is why gyuvin is so conflicted when he walks through the door of your little friend group get together on new year’s eve, bags of snacks in hand, only to see you laughing with a guy he hasn’t seen before. there’s an unfamiliar feeling bubbling in his chest and he almost involuntarily thinks back to your conversation, to the fact that you really want to kiss someone once the clock strikes midnight — and it starts to mess with his head.

he’s quickly roped into a conversation with ricky and some of his other friends, though his eye seem to be glued to you instead of the people talking to him right in front of him; his eyes drifting back to you giggling along to whatever that strange guy was talking about every few minutes, the unsettled feeling in his chest spreading all over his body. “are you even listening?” gyuvin’s attention is ripped away from staring holes in that guys head when ricky addresses him directly, ricky’s hand on his shoulder bringing him back to reality.

“yeah, sorry.” the smile on gyuvin’s face is tight, ricky glancing to where you’re still speaking to the guy and it all makes sense to him. he sends gyuvin a sympathetic look and tries to keep up the conversation, though it’s clear gyuvin’s mind is entirely preoccupied.

when the calls for new snacks start, gyuvin immediately volunteers to filling the bowls back up in the kitchen, if only to avoid his eyes from drifting back to you and the guy — whose name is seunghan, he learned — and in turn dampening his mood even further. today is supposed to be fun, why is he moping around like this?

“what did the chips do to you? you’re practically glaring ar them,” gyuvin’s head whips around at your voice, the playful smile on your face lifting some of the heaviness in his chest when he sees you standing in the doorway.

“oh, hey.” gyuvin gives you a small smile and goes back to his snack duties while trying to sound as nonchalant as possible, “who’s the guy you’ve been talking to? you bring him along?”

shaking your head you reach over to steal a handful of cheese puffs gyuvin had just emptied into a bowl, “not me, but ahrin. his name is seunghan and she has her eye on him,” you mumble, “he’s funny and they both seem to like each other.” gyuvin nods, hand absentmindedly playing with his sleeves, “you think she’ll go for the new years kiss with him?” gyuvin asks, and you can tell he regrets the question as soon as he asked it.

you just shrug silently, the sudden mention of the kiss rendering you a little speechless. “ and you? you got anyone to kiss this year?” gyuvin says in an overly sarcastic tone, seemingly in an effort to loosen the tension a little. you snort at that, “ha ha, very funny. leave me and my romantic aspirations alone,” the lightheartedness in your voice makes gyuvin relax a little, and just when he’s about to speak, someone bangs against the kitchen door, demanding your attention.

“c’mon you two, we’re playing some games,” matthew calls before rushing back to the living room. you and gyuvin share a short glance before loading up on all the snacks and following suit, excited for the mess that is most definitely about to ensue.

two screaming matches, one round of (rigged, according to hao) just dance, three bowls of snacks and dozens of tears spilt through laughter later and the almost dreaded countdown to midnight is inching closer. the couples are slowly starting to separate from the group again, looking for an area that is less crowded and a little more romantic. your high mood is slowly starting to go down, the feeling of once again being the third wheel, in a way, accompanied by this off-putting feeling of loneliness in a room full of your friends bringing the self-doubt at the back of your mind to the forefront again.

gyuvin plops down next to you, stretching his long limbs with a groan, “god i hate sitting on the floor,” he looks around, the amount of couples in your friend group only now really hitting him, “damn, is that kiss really that important?” it was a rhetorical question, really, and he was speaking to himself more than anything, yet you turn to scowl at him.

you open your mouth to go on a rant about the lack of romance in gyuvin’s mindset when he suddenly turns to you, cheeks a little flushed but eyes filled with determination, “i’ll do it.”

you blink at him, “huh? do what?” gyuvin swallows, “kiss you. give you the new years kiss you want.” it takes a second for his words to register, before you splutter at him incredulously, “what— gyuvin why would we—“

“okay, time for the countdown! ten!” you hear from the other side of the room, and panic starts to fill gyuvin’s expression. “because i want to. i’ve been thinking about it ever since you mentioned it, and—“

“seven!”

“you said it was like saying that i have no idea what the new year will bring, but at least i will always have you, right?” his eyes search for yours, his pupils shaking and you nod, still a little stunned.

“four!”

“that’s exactly i want to tell you. so please—“

“three!”

“i want to be the one to give you your new years kiss. if you want—“

“two!”

and then, it happens. you grab his face and pull him close, hesitation for just a millisecond before your lips meet right as it reaches midnight. the fireworks outside colouring the sky feel almost pathetic in comparison to the burst of emotions exploding in your chest, it’s warm and fuzzy and just feels so right.

both of your faces are flushed bright red as your lips separate, but neither of you can keep from biting back the goofy smiles spreading on your faces. before you can even begin to think of something to say gyuvin leans back in, pressing another kiss to your lips.

and another. and another…and another.

you only separate for good when your giggles break through the kiss, gyuvin’s hands cupping your face, “i’d say that was a pretty good start into the new year, no?”

Hello!

Could I request headcanons of Diluc, Xiao Zhongli, and Ayato with a demonic water dragon s/o?

Her dragon form is huge, with a serpent-like body, covered in scales blacker than the night, has 2 pairs of horns (the top pair curve upward and the bottom pair curve downward), sharp fangs and claws.

I'm gonna be honest, I have never written anything like this. It's new, but I like to challenge myself, so thank you. Hope I could satisfy you with the way I went about it.

Characters Included: Diluc; Xiao; Zhongli; Ayato

Content: gender neutral reader; shapeshifting; established relationship (Diluc; Ayato); getting together (Xiao; Zhongli);

Word count: 2,5k words

Hope you like it and sorry it took me so long to write.

Diluc

he would be absolutely clueless

he thinks you're a normal human just like him, only that you are a little obsessed with water and always want to be close to a big body of water

It's a good thing that Dawn Winery is so close to a huge lake

he always knows he can find you there, sitting by the shore if he can't find you anywhere else in the mansion

today however, something was not right when he went looking for you down at the shore

he saw you sitting there, feet in the cold water of the lake, nothing unusual about that

but... was there something laying behind you? Why was is swinging side to side from time to time? And why did your head look kinda weird, too?

Diluc didn't know what to think or expect, but he went closer to you nonetheless, not wanting to assume

When he did get closer, he noticed that those things seemed to be attached to you

As he was pracitcally behind you now, he finally made his presence known and you immediately jumped up, scared out of your mind since you didn't notice anyone approaching you. You even let out a deep, warning growl until you realized that it was Diluc

You started to relax a bit, but as you saw how he was looking at you, you realized that you forgot about something very important

Before you could run away - which you were definitely trying to do just now - Diluc grabbed you by the wrist, silently begging you to stay

You reluctantly do so, expecting to be bombarded with questions, which... never came?

He was just standing there, taking in your half-transformed state and with each passing second, you grew more and more restless

Soon enough, the questions started to come, but instead of being all over the place, he seemed to keep his cool, asking you one thing after the other

He even asked to see your other form, but you declined that, not wanting to shock him any more than you already have. He accepts that, but deep down, he really does want to see it

Surprisingly to you, he doesn't seem too put off about that reveal. Sure he has to get used to the fact that you are... dragon? Half-dragon? Diluc isn't too sure, but he doesn't mind

After all, this detail didn't change anything about the feelings you both had for the other. So why would he change his views of you? It was just another aspect of you and he could understand why you kept that hidden from him

Not many people would react to such a revelation the way he had reacted

Does ask to see your full form from time to time, but never pressuring you. He's just really interested, he was fascinated by the color of your scales at that time already, he couldn't imagine what it would look like when your entire body was covered in them

When you finally agree, he is mesmerized by your sheer size and the colours, absolutely can NOT take his eyes off of you

Swears to protect your secret and falls even more in love with you when he learns that you can also transform into a half-half form

Overall a pretty positive reaction from him, which you would have never thought would happen, but you sure as hell aren't complaining about it

Xiao

Immediatley knows.. upon your first meeting he just knows that something is up with you

you are no adeptus, but you aren't a human being either

yet he can't seem to figure it out, either, and that bothers him

he is supposed to protect this land, yet how can he do that when he can't even pick out what exactly you are

would keep taps on you and your activities, trying to determine wether or not you would become a threat he has to exterminate

he follows you around for quite some time. In fact, it almost becomes a routine for him and he doesn't realize it but at some point, he also knows your usual schedule by heart

why does he want to smile whenever he sees you interact with the children of Liyue Harbor? What is this warm feeling inside his chest?

Panics when he realizes this and tries to keep his distance from now on, but he quickly learns that he can't seem to stay away from you for too long

there's just something about you that keeps pulling him in, wether he wants to or not... and he also still has to make sure you're not a threat.. at least, that's what he tells himself

if he were to be honest, deep down, he was already convinced that you're not dangerous, but he needs and excuse to come and see you

that is, until one fateful day

he was fighting against some demonic creatures at Yaoguang Shoal. There were many of them and they kept coming, his karmic debt starting to wear him down as well

he was threatening to be overpowered, not being able to control the pain any longer since he had been fighting for quite some time already, when a huge shadow appeared out of nowhere

as he saw this huge dragon form approaching, he mentally prepared himself for a fight, but also for the possibilty of his death... when suddenly, against his expectations, the dragon attacked the demonic creatures instead of him

stunned for a second, Xiao quickly recovered and joined the fight again, this time at the side of this unexpected ally

with the help, it was over pretty quickly, but Xiao kept his guard up, not being able to predict what would happen next

then, the form of the dragon started to glow, then began to shrink until it was as small as a human. The glow kept fading and then the next moment, he was facing you

Xiao was confused, the emotions for once being obviously displayed on his face as he looked at you, connecting the dots in his head

"There, now you finally know. Can you stop stalking me now?"

You said this, with a teasing smile on your lips, indicating that you were aware of him all along, but seemingly not minding it that much.

On the other hand, Xiao was mortified. Without any reply, he teleported back to Wangshuu Inn, where he tried to process what had just happened

He kept to himself for a few days, and probably would have done so for longer, if it wasn't for you, seeking him out to talk to him about all the things that had happened

from this point on would be where your relationship started to bloom, Xiao slowly coming to terms with his feelings for you

he is not bothered by your upbringing at all. In fact, this meant that you were "blessed" with a long life just like him, so he wouldn't have to fear losing you far too soon again

sure, he still has to get used to it, but he is fascinated more than anything else. Constantly asks you questions, wanting to learn all there is about you

would care deeply for you, and depending on your believes, would keep it a secret from others if you were to ask this of him

Zhongli

just like Xiao, he also knows immediately that something is up with you

but unlike the adeptus that watches over Liyue, Zhongli figures it out on his own rather quickly

after all, he spent many years as a dragon himself, so of course he would recognise someone of that species

but it still gets him thinking... because, dragons don't exist that largly anymore, especially not the ones with the ability to shapeshift

he really wants to approach you and talk to you about this topic, but he also knows that he can't, as it would probably come across as creepy, especially if he were to bring something like that up in broad daylight with people surrounding you all

so, instead, he invites you out for a day. You spend the entire afternoon and evening together, ending the little get-together with a walk around the almost abandoned harbor at night

This is when Zhongli decides to bring this topic up, having felt the urge to ask you throughout the entire day

when he does, your eyes widen, not having expected anyone to ever get behind your little secret. You were scared.. scared of what he might do to you and him telling everyone else

Zhongli on the other hand, only now realized why you were looking so scared. He wanted to assure you that he would not tell anyone, but he also knew that you were not likely to believe him at all. He had to prove himself somehow..

and the only way he could think of would be to reveal his true identity to you, as well

at first, you obviously don't believe him, because... who would? A random person, claiming to be the God of Contracts, watching over the entire nation of Liyue? Yeah, as if.

But then, you have no choice but to believe him when he transforms into a half human, half dragon state infront of your very eyes

you suddenly feel extremely connected to him and instead of saying anything, simply follow his example, revealing half of your dragon form to him

Zhongli is mesmerized by the beauty the colour of your scales take. He wants nothing more than to trace along them with his fingers, the urge almost too strong to resist, but he does

you two begin to bond over that shared experience, your connection growing stronger and stronger with each passing day

your identites are a secret to everyone except you two, which only helps in strengthening that shared bond

it's hard to say who falls in love first, but it's not like that matters. It happened and that's the only important thing, since it led to the most fulfilling and loved relationship you ever had

Zhongli was enamoured with you, willing to do anything for you. Plus, he was an expert at keeping things hidden from other people, so you would never have to worry about people finding out about you. At least if you don't want that to happen

Either way, Zhongli swore to always stay by your side and protect you, and he plans on keeping this promise....always

Ayato

he would be just as clueless as Diluc

sure, he and his people did make a background-check on you before Ayato started to pursue you romantically, but that didn't bring anything unusual to light

nowadays, you and Ayato were engaged, with you already living with him at the Kamisato estate

he loved the open affinity you displayed towards water. He could often find you sitting outside, looking out towards the sea, lost in your own thoughts

you never seemed to care about the weather. More often than once had he found you sitting outside at night, the cold not seeming to bother you at all

At times like these, he would go grab a blanket before he sat down behind you, wrapping you two into the warmth of the fabric as you lean back against his chest, still looking towards the ocean

you also once told him that you adored the fact he had been blessed with a hydro vision. According to you, it made him smell like the ocean you so adored, his touch cool and calming on your skin

at first, he was a bit taken aback by the statement, but once he thought about it, he couldn't help but seeing it as a compliment towards him

at some point, the guilt starts to build up inside you, feeling bad that you hide such an important thing about yourself

you feel like he should know before you guys get married, since it might change his view on you. And what if he someday finds out by accident and then accuses you of lying to him?

No, you definitely don't want that to happen, so you decide to tell him

You write Ayato a little note, telling him to meet you down at the beach where you two can talk in private

he is a bit concerned at this, trying to think if he did something wrong or if he might have upset you in any way

instead of meeting you after his work, he decides to abandon it alltogether, making his way to you immediately

you're a bit surprised to see him this early, but you also welcome it. This way, you don't have time to overthink things and just tell him

When you tell him that you want to share a secret with him, Ayato is perplexed at first. He thought that there was nothing kept hidden between the two of you, but he also didn't want to judge just based on this statement

so, he tried to keep an open mind and signaled for you to tell him. When you did, it was obvious he didn't believe you. He didn't need to say anything, his eyes were telling it all

so, with a deep breath in, you started to transform entirely, your form growing huge, scales as dark as the night decorating your entire body, until Ayato was a mere peck of dust next to you

He watched all of this happen, equally terrified as well as fascinated. He honest to god thought you were joking, that this was one of those pranks people like to play on their significant others

you, after having proven your point, transformed back, now looking unsure, not knowing what to expect of his reaction

he, in the most diplomatic tone ever, told you that he would need some time to think, which you nodded, understanding that request fully

so, you waited. And those days were the absolute horror for you. Luckily, it didn't seem like Ayato told anyone, the people of the estate still talking to you and treating you like they usually did

but you haven't seen or heard anything from Ayato at all

the first time he comes to you again is after five days. And what he does confuses you even more. He just comes up to you, kissing you on the cheek and greeting you good morning like nothing had happened

before you have the chance to ask him about it, he is gone again, so you wait until you catch him in a quiet moment

And when you ask him about it, he just shrugs his shoulders. "Well, you're still you. That fact doesn't change anything. You're still my spouse and I still love you."

You're beyond relieved that he's not bothered by it, having expected the worst already

Ayato on the other hand, doesn't want to admit it, but that little revelation made him even more whipped for you than he already was

But that's something that you don't have to know about...

[ddarker-dreams]

hmmm.... i have a question. not really a question, more like rambling actually.

so we know that n darling doesnt want to get attached with blade, she mostly sees him as her fuckbuddy for a bit which i think is funny, hence she is his long term long distance low commitment gf.

but im actually curious on blade's view on this relationship. does he feel mutual about this? i mean, clearly he doesn't, but im dying to know the specifics.

does he not prod on the topic because he knows n darling would ultimately be his anyway? (based on... whatever elio's script says) or does he just... not care for any specifics and just already considers her his gf without said gf even knowing 😭😭 actually both theories sound more or less similar.

im so excited for ch 5, ive been rereading nexus over and over again lol (and of course... ch 3 and 4 has the most reads for certain reasons im sure you know)

me thinking of a way to respond without accidentally delving into spoiler territory GJKJDF

i will say that the answer to this question is different pre and post chapter 4. i can come back and give the latter after chapter five is posted.

OKAY, so. initial impression (after saving n darling from alister's knife attack in ch1), was... nothing really. a slight pull and nothing else. at that point, he knew the specifics of his job, which he didn't view differently from the hundreds of jobs he'd be assigned before. he doesn't usually bother thinking about the greater picture. he considers himself a weapon who will simply do as he's told until elio fulfills his end of their agreement.

for a while after that, he finds n darling kinda weird. he doesn't get why n darling thanked him and made her synalink offer when it's pretty obvious she doesn't like the stellaron hunters. it wasn't clear to him yet that in the same way he considers himself a weapon, n darling views herself an integral organ to eris. n darling's gratitude wasn't so much that he saved her life — but that he saved eris' 'life.'

he didn't actively try to understand her because he wouldn't care to. the sole reason he picked any of this up is just from the sheer amount of time they spent coexisting. it's inevitable he'd become familiar with her to some extent. there's that, and well... n darling is rather stunning. an assignment where he basically gets to stare at a beautiful woman for days on end isn't something he's complaining about.

what served as a turning point is the nectar guide incident.

(i didn't expect for this to get so long good god but here's blade's mental health going 📉 as his journey to tap n darling begins)

when he comes to, the sight he's greeted with is this high stationed individual weeping for him and desperately tearing her clothes in a attempt to stop his bleeding. he cannot recall a time when anyone has bothered to do so, since it's known no matter how awful an injury he suffers, he'll regenerate eventually. that aforementioned slight pull grows stronger.

regarding blade's reaction to n darling poking around in his psyche uninvited, that wasn't what actually upset him. it was the possibility he'd be less attentive to her safety if he were to go around searching for survivors. for some inexplicable reason, this irked him.

then, at this exchange in ch3:

“Can it really be considered a sin if it’s beyond your control?” 

“It won’t always be,” he replies. “Until then, I can’t allow myself to forget. You must get why.” 

You wish you didn’t. 

it finally dawns on blade that he and this diva-who-pretends-she-isn't-a-diva actually share common ground. that they're both stuck in this self-perpetuated cycle of guilt and admonishment for circumstances that weren't entirely their fault. he doesn't know what to do with this information and stuffs it away for safekeeping.

then another turning point goes down:

the dissonance between lear's id and ego/superego culminates to such a degree that n darling goes unresponsive, the psychic backlash is that bad. blade doesn't understand the specifics. all he sees is this woman he's begrudgingly intrigued by collapsing to the ground with blood rushing from her nose, while her noisy friend and quiet friend rush around. eventually, he can roughly piece together what happened from these tidbits: n darling's aversion to physical contact (seen in ch1 when he reaches for her wrist and she freezes up, then once more when she avoids him after the nectar guide incident).

n darling then confirms this: "What you’re referring to is a precaution my mother suggested. In the past, strange reactions have occurred after I came into direct contact with someone."

along with well-intentioned nona's exclamation: "i yelled at him that if he hurt lear you would turn his mind into goop"

blade wouldn't have thought to configure lear into things as soon as he did had nona not given this slip of information. he already had suspicions that lear and n darling had some sort of Situation between them, because lear isn't slick and makes googly eyes @ n darling like nobodies business, but this. this is different. he could write lear's googly eyes off as a crush, which is whatever. but n darling caring for lear to such a degree that she's fine with risking her wellbeing because she likes being around him that much? hence:

You’re so swept up in your thoughts, that it takes you a while to notice how Blade’s been staring at you. This in and of itself is nothing new. He’s been your shadow ever since forced this arrangement. It irritated you at first, but that blistering offense eased into acceptance. His vigilance felt befitting of a guard. Taking in your surroundings, assessing any threats; such is his prerogative. 

How he’s eyeing you now feels different. It’s as if he’s looking through you, not at you. 

“Is something wrong? You’re making such a scary expression,” you joke. 

at that point, blade is Not Happy to an extent that confuses even him (ch5 will go into why).

then he happens to be brooding in the distance, as he's prone to do, when he sees n darling looking absolutely defeated (post the convo with caicias and chrysus). he feels this need to do something about it, remembers how often she drinks that ambrosia tea, then makes some for her. he really was going to just leave it and then give her space, but, alas:

"Your body springs up of its own accord. You balance the teacup in one hand and reach out to him with the other, your fingers fanning out, ready to sink into whatever they can. Everything happens in the blink of an eye. Your free hand succeeds in finding a destination — settling on the abrasive finish of his bandages. 

You feel another texture alongside it. 

It’s smooth, cold, and visible through the interstices of his winding bandages. 

His skin."

this contact quite literally Awakens something in him (👁👁),

"Blade’s gripping your comforter hard enough for his knuckles to turn bone white. He’s leaning forward, as if ready to pounce, yet lucid enough to exercise some semblance of self-control. He reminds you of a starved animal trapped in a cage, salivating over a piece of meat hanging outside the bars. Goosebumps cover your body. This isn’t simple lust… it’s visceral, some primitive desire too overwhelming to be understood.

You’re the one he’s staring at with this unbridled yearning.

Yes, he’s teased you. Pushed your buttons and riled you up. Not so subtly flaunted the strength that lets him maneuver you like you weigh nothing. You might have status and mastery in your given field, but he’s participated in the annihilation of worlds; the end of civilizations that span back since time immemorial.

He should be the one in charge.

Yet as you stand here, witnessing how he tortures himself by not pouncing on you like he easily could, a thought is planted.

He’d really do anything you asked if it kept this from ending."

from this point to where chapter 4 ends, blade's brain is in some sort of caveman mode. he wakes up. thinks about fucking n darling. fucks n darling. waits around impatiently until he can fuck n darling once again. fucks n darling again. goes to (half) sleep. rinse and repeat.

not only is his mara manageable when he's around n darling, but he gets this thrill too? it's a high unlike anything he's experienced in the miserable centuries he's been cursed with immortality. he isn't really worried about the specifics of their relationship, so long as he can keep railing her on every surface around. n darling's body, how she carries herself with such confidence, the way she pokes and prods at him; he's obsessed. addicted. nothing short of feral.

every stage on his hierarchy of needs has been replaced with n darling.

Song 44 for a spotify inspired drabble please? If possible to Buddie? If not any ship is good!

Hello, friend!!!!! I thought for sure yours would be sad but the words took a very different direction. Also it's not even remotely drabble length... *shrugs*

Buck doesn’t remember exactly when the dreams started, just that it was sometime during his 1.0 phase. Like his subconscious realized before he did that sleeping around wasn’t cutting it. That he craved something deeper and more complex than purely physical relationships.

The first time he brushes the experience off as odd, but not necessarily unwelcome. He remembers “waking up” in his dream, laying in his bed. The thing that makes this different is the sense of calm and belonging. The feeling of being wanted. As far as he can tell, he isn’t imagining anyone else with him, yet he still feels like he’s being held. Truthfully, it’s nice. 

Night after night the dreams continue whether he’s at home or the station. Then, when he least expects it, they suddenly change. The entity cocooning around him begins to take on more shape, progressing with every sleep until there’s a fully formed person. 

The revelation, however intriguing, is frustrating because he isn’t allowed to see them. Whoever it is has strong arms, is about the same height, and holds him so close. Like Buck is the most precious person to exist. Sometimes he swears he can feel warm breath tickling the back of his neck. 

And then Buck begins dating Abby. As he spends the night more often, the dreams stop. He would be lying if he said that didn't bother him. Buck is happy with Abby – she’s sweet, beautiful, and the sex is nothing to complain about – but there’s something missing. It creates a persistent longing. An ache for a person who only exists in his dreams. Kinda pathetic when he thinks about it. That doesn’t stop the flood of relief when Abby leaves and the dreams begin again as if they never stopped.

Now, though, Buck gets more details. This person – man – has soft, chestnut hair; cheekbones that could probably cut glass;  thick, dark eyelashes; and a hint of stubble Buck longs to trace with this thumb and have it be real. He’s beautiful. A term Buck’s never really considered in terms of the guys he’s found attractive, but it fits here. 

The man always appears peaceful and unburdened, though not completely. As if there’s an undercurrent of worry that only leaves when he’s asleep. 

Buck starts to question his own sanity when he finds himself longing to soothe whatever is bothering his… person. If he didn’t think it would get him sent straight back to the department therapist he would say something to Bobby. And he’s not sure if he can take it to Hen either. So he keeps it to himself, researching anything he can find. Needless to say the results are disappointing. Every promising article or forum posting leads to an eventual dead end. He begins to consider that he may never have an explanation. 

~

“Now that is a beautiful man,” Chim exclaims.

“Where’s the lie? And I like girls,” Hen adds. 

Buck whips around to see who they’re talking about, nearly dropping his phone in the process. 

“Holy shit,” he murmurs. “It’s him.”

NSFW Lucifer x F!MC

Spice Rating - 2/4 KINDA SPICY

[ Part 1 ] [ Part 2 ]

[ Story Premise - You want to have sex with Lucifer, really. There's just one problem; it's your first time, and you're terrified of what failure will do to you and your relationship. ]

Curse my perfectionism for making this more than one part.

Wordcount - 1233

smutty notes (consult if you haven't read my smut before)

The first time you felt Lucifer’s rock-hard erection, you turned tail and fled his room. 

Well, that wasn’t exactly an accurate picture. To be more exact, Lucifer had been spooning you while half-asleep and fudging adorable… with, of course, a case of morning wood. You’re not really sure what your first thought was, just that your gut reaction was “HOLY SHIT RUN,” rather than “HOLY SHIT THAT’S HOT.” 

In your panic, you excused yourself with some bullshit about needing to submit an assignment ASAP, and Lucifer obligingly let you go, though he was immensely disappointed about the lack of goodbye kiss. Once you’d gotten close to him, he deeply enjoyed your little acts of companionship, especially because you weren’t always guaranteed time with each other. 

You do love him very deeply, and frankly, you wish that you had given him his good-morning kiss or even more than that, but… well, you were scared is all. You’re a virgin, so… doesn’t that… hurt? What if you said the wrong thing? Moreover, what if you hated it? What if you had to fake your orgasms just to make him happy? What if you seized up all the time, and you’d never do it with him, and he’d get stressed and find someone else?  

Lucifer, of course, hadn’t bought your lie, which is why you’re now sitting in the guilty chair at 9 PM while the man in question stands in front of you, his arms barred across his chest while he looks down at you. 

“We can stand here all day MC, or you can tell me what’s bothering you,” Lucifer says tersely, and you swallow as you look up at him. You’re suddenly reminded of when you first met, and the menacing aura he used to have behind him at that point. 

“Nothing’s… bothering me,” you try meekly. 

“And you didn’t scamper out of my bed this morning like a frightened rabbit,” Lucifer replies dryly before his expression softens. “Listen, MC… I’m just…worried I did something to upset you. It’s not like you to lie to me.”

“No! No, you didn’t do anything wrong!” you protest quickly. “I’m just…” Just what? Scared of his dick? Seriously? How are you even supposed to tell him that?

“Just?” he prompts, and you stare pointedly at the floor. Here Lucifer is, getting anxious because you’re anxious, and for what? Like this stubborn bastard would leave you for sex? Sure, maybe he made a lot of suggestive remarks that sent your mind spinning with all sorts of lewd imagery spawned out of smutty writing and artwork, but he loves you for the Devildom’s sake. 

“...virgin,” you mumble, and Lucifer blinks. 

“Pardon?” 

“I’m a virgin.” You finally bring yourself to look back up to Lucifer’s face to see an expression torn between amusement and relief. 

“That’s what you were worried about?” 

“W-Well I can’t help it!” you complain, “I just… I felt your… thingie, and… Sue me!” Lucifer covered his mouth, and it seemed like it took a great force of will for him not to laugh. 

“I’m sorry,” he apologizes. “But MC, I already knew that. It wasn’t my intent to make you feel rushed.” You feel your face grow hot. H-He knew? How the hell did he know that? Since when? 

“Did you… undress me or something…?” you ask, wetting your lips. 

“No. I knew you were a virgin from the moment you asked me why anyone would want lotion that smells and tastes like strawberries.” 

“It was a fair question!” 

“There were plenty of other signs, trust me. But MC, your first time is important to me too. I want you to remember it fondly, and the last thing I want is for you to regret making that decision.” You shake your head urgently. 

“I wouldn’t regret it, I… doesn’t sex, um…  hurt? What if I don’t like it?” 

“It hurts,” he concedes. “Being a man, I can only imagine it, but it depends on the individual, and it doesn’t hurt forever. And if you really don’t like it, which I doubt would ever happen, I will stop when you tell me to stop. MC, I will be there with you every step of the way, so don’t worry so much about it. It should be something fun we’re doing together, understand?” Lucifer plops his hand on your head and ruffles your hair, and you look up at his kind yet stern expression. You swallow thickly through the anxiety simmering in your throat, ignoring all of your doubts for just that moment. Only Lucifer could take the sense of unease away. 

“Can we?” 

“Now?” You nod, before you lose your nerve and chicken out. “MC, are you su—” You kiss him to make him shut up. It’s hesitant and messy, but it gets the point across well enough considering how he smiles. Of course you’re sure. Maybe you’re a bit of a chicken, but you’d be lying if you said you hadn’t fantasized about Lucifer finally fulfilling those suggestive promises. 

A soft squeak spills out of your lips as Lucifer picks you out of your chair and carries you to the edge of his bed, still kissing you as he gently puts you down. You’re glad he does, in part because his kisses are starting to make your knees feel weak. His kisses are always a treat, whether tender or passionate, and right now it’s a mix of both. 

When Lucifer leaves your lips, the sense of loss is brief as he turns his attention towards your cheeks, up towards the shell of your ear—

“I’m going to take my time winding you up, MC.” 

—back down, past your jaw, against your neck. His lips send little tremors quivering across your nerves, and you find yourself offering more of your throat. His fingers are on your shirt, and—oh, that’s a good spot, right there. 

“Mnn,” you softly hum as Lucifer sucks on the skin of your sensitive spot. “I like that.” 

“I know,” he replies, full of his usual brand of smugness. When did he rob you of your shirt? 

“Can I take your shirt off?” Aw, you sound so cute and hesitant. You expect him to tease you about that, and he does. Just a little though.

“I don’t know, can you?” he taunts, and you pick at his waistcoat in retaliation. Still, his collar is barely visible before you let out a startled gasp as Lucifer leans into your chest to press his lips against your bra, the hand that isn’t smoothing up your bare back cupping one breast. “Too much for you?” he teases, although there’s just a hint of concern in his voice that only serves to make your legs shudder. 

“Keep going,” you practically whisper, but judging by the click echoing against your back, he hears you just fine.  You keep picking at his clothes, but it’s hard to focus when he’s busy massaging your tits so wonderfully. Kissing them, squeezing them, rubbing them in his long fingers, draggings his smooth mouth over a perky nipple and—

“Ah!” you yelp, surprised as you feel the sensation ripple pleasantly down your stomach into your loins. For a moment, you think that Lucifer will stop again, but the moment you make eye contact, his tongue is working over you, an appreciative groan echoing against your skin. Oh my god. He likes doing this.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ anon request: Hello hello! Well I really like your writing and I saw the status open so here I go, I would like a reader as Rui's younger brother and the reader is dating Akito S.? Maybe their encounters where Akito goes to the reader's house and finds Rui in the kitchen, or the couple spending time at school and Rui peeking in, I don't know, they're just vague thoughts. Thank you (Regarding the personality of the reader, perhaps asocial/introverted but when he is in confidence he makes it known why he is Rui's brother? Well, that topic is how you want to do it)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Hi!! Omg I love it!! And I kinda used your ideas because they were simply too good not to use!

It turned out kindaaa long I guess? But I honestly like it so I dearly hope you will too!

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ fluff

You looked around the school for Akito during lunch break when you finally found him sitting behind the school.

"Hey Akito!"

He looked up from his phone and stopped munching as soon as he heard familiar voice. Noticing you, small smile spread across his face and he moved aside a bit to make some space for you on bench.

"Yo! Come sit down. Guess what I got today."

"Oh!! Are those my favorites?! Awh did you cooked it all for me~?"

"You're overthinking it. Just give it a taste."

He picked up your favorite food with chopsticks and put it closer to your mouth, hoping you could give him some honest opinion about it. He did baked it tor you after all... not like he's ever gonna admit it tho!

You on the other hand didn't hesitate for a second and opened your mouth, letting the food end on your tongue as you carefully munched it. You didn't wanted to say just "it's good" but you really couldn't fine anything to complain about! It's like he put his heart into making it perfect.

"It's good! Mind if I have another one~?"

"Not at all. I cooked a bit too much so I'd appreciate your help..."

Another piece ended in your mouth. You and Akito really just shared private moment right now, not expecting anyone to interrupt since it's a bit of w secret spot at school.

"Fufu~ Isn't that adorable~?"

Both of you heard familiar voice and immidietly turned your heads towards it. Then only difference was that you had a smile when you saw Rui and Akito looked as if he just saw a ghost.

"Hey Rui! What are you doing here?"

"You've mistaken our bags and put your lunch in my bag. I couldn't let me lil bro starve now, could I?"

You gratefully took the lunch box from your brothers hands, happy at the thought you might share your lunch with your boyfriend as well, as little thanks for cooking something so delicious for you!

"Thanks a lot Rui-!"

"LIL BRO?!"

But your sentence was interrupted by shocked Akito. He should've known! He should've recognized that :3 smilez blue strands and mischievous personality!! How are you so similar and yet so different?! He wouldn't want to suddenly befriebr Rui but he doesn't wish to break with you either...

"That's correct. I guess we never really met each others properly... Well just know that you have my gill support of your relationship! I heard lot's of goods from lil one!"

"Lil o- you have the weirdest nicknames... but thanks..."

"Fufu~ I'll leave you to your little romance moment now. Have fun!"

As fast as he appeared, he disappeared. But it seemed to only bother ginger guy... you just sat down and opened your lunch box as if it was nothing. You even offered him first piece of your lunch before eating.

"Say ah~"

"No thanks."

But he declined and out all of your favorite food from his lunch onto yours, only confirming this specific part was made for you. You sat there a little confused but after noticing his blushing face, you quickly realized what he was trying to avoid and what he was thinking on.

"Is someone shy~?"

"Oh shut it!! I just now see how similar you are..."

"You'd date my brother?"

"Never. You're simply something else... don't overthink it."

"No need to. I already got you figured out~"

You munched on your food, leaving Aktio blushing like crazy as he tried to hide it by turning his face away and focusing one eating his food.

So much happened on a single lunch break... he may end up having trauma for this place... but then again, it is your usual spot to hangout at and he can't really bring himself to stop doing that.

Hi! Hope you’re doing good :) I was thinking if you could write a pt 2 to Stay by my side fic? That one with Jooyeon x reader x jungsu. But now with a happy ending for Jooyeon and reader because they finally talk about their feelings (ofc i want a happy ending for jungsu too I don’t want him sad with this situation🥺 I kinda see him being comprehensible)

Stay by my side was inspired by “Good Enough” and I was thinking about this pt2 when I was listening no “Again? Again!” and I think it will match with the theme.

Oh and I was the one who asked for Stay by my side! I really like your writing <3 thank uu

Hi! I hope you're doing good as well <3. I had fun writing this based from the lyrics of Again? Again!

This a part 2 to Stay By My Side but I think you can read it on its own without being too confused.

A/N: I went back to reread Stay By My Side since it was one of my first works and it made me kinda want to rewrite cause you can tell it's one of my first works lol, but I don't know if anyone would be interested.

Lee Jooyeon/Kim Jungsu

Summary: Jooyeon thought that he pushed his feelings for you down and away, but then you did something that made them come surging to the surface again. What was he supposed to do? You’re still dating Jungsu. (idol au)

WC:~2.4k

Warning: Angst with a fluff ending for Jooyeon and bittersweet for Jungsu.

photo not mine credits to owner.

One day you fell into Jooyeon’s heart. Jooyeon distinctively remembers it. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Jooyeon, stop putting your vegetables on my plate!” you complained. 

“Why? I don’t eat vegetables, but you do, so you should have them.” He picks out another vegetable from his food and places it on your plate again. 

“You need to eat at least some though. They’re good for you.” Jooyeon makes a disgusted face at you. Making a comment about how vegetables may be good for you, but they don’t taste good. “At least eat the carrots ok? They’re good for your hair.” That’s when you did it. You playfully took some strands of Jooyeon’s hair and wiggled them in front of his face. Starting Jooyeon’s last love story. Without any resistance he was falling for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His feelings for you didn’t matter though. Not when you were happily dating his member Jungsu. His love for you was left with only regrets. Why didn’t he tell you how he really felt about you? He was tired of feeling the crack in his heart anytime he saw you and Jungsu together. He didn’t want to feel like this any longer. He had to find a way to not fall for you anymore. There has to be a way to avoid it. Jooyeon pushed his feelings for you deep down and away. Anytime he felt those romantic feelings for you he pushed them away. Labeled them as friendship. He convinced himself that he only loved you as a friend. Cared about you as a friend.

For a while this worked. The crack in his heart caused by yours and Jungsu’s relationship seemed to close. He was happy with his friendship with you. Happy to be staying by your side. Happy to have your arms wrapped around him tightly, even if it was purely platonic. 

“Doesn’t that bother you?” Jiseok asked Jungsu. 

“Does what bother me?” Jungsu questioned not knowing what Jiseok was referring to. Jiseok then motions over to where you and Jooyeon sat in the corner of the practice room. Jooyeon’s head on your shoulder. His knee practically on top of your own as you both sat with your legs criss crossed. Your elbow resting halfway on Jooyeon’s lap, holding the phone playing the video you two were watching. 

“Why would it bother me? They’re just friends. Have been for a really long time, you know that.” Jungsu shrugged. 

“I know, but if I saw my girl being that close to another guy even if it was one of my members I wouldn’t like it,” Jiseok stated. 

“So what? I should tell y/n to stop acting how she’s always acted with Jooyeon? That’s just how their friendship dynamic is. There’s nothing I should be upset about,” Jungsu says. He never thought that anything was weird with how you and Jooyeon acted. He strongly believed that your friendship with Jooyeon shouldn’t change just because you were dating him. 

“Then as long as you’re cool with it I guess,” Jiseok dismissed. 

Jungsu looked back over to where you and Jooyeon sat. You’re both still in the same position as before. Something funny must have happened in the video you and Jooyeon were watching because both of you simultaneously threw your heads back with laughter. This resulted in both of you hitting your heads against the wall. Jungsu was about to go check on you to make sure you were ok, but Jooyeon was already doing it. Gently placing his hand on the back of your head asking if you were alright. You nodded your head yes. Jungsu felt relieved knowing that you were alright, however when you raised your hand to the back of Jooyeon’s head. Mirroring the same as he just did to you and asking if he was ok, Jungsu might have felt a bit of something. 

You are currently backstage after Xdinary Heroes had finished one of their concerts. The boys were removing their stage makeup or packing their instruments away. You were helping Jungsu remove his eye makeup. You had just finished ridding the makeup from one of Jungsu’s eyes when Jooyeon called you. 

“Y/n help me too, this glitter is unforgiving,” Jooyeon whined. You looked at Jungsu. 

“Go help him, so we can leave quicker,” Jungsu told you before you could even say anything. 

“Ok,” you said. Gave Jungsu a kiss on the cheek before going to help Jooyeon. 

“Look at all this fallout. It won’t come off,” Jooeyon complained, showing you all the glitter that had fallen onto his upper cheeks. 

“What do you mean? Just use your hair to dust it off,” you joked. You took some strands of his hair and playfully brushed it across his cheeks. 

Just like that Jooyeon’s repressed feelings for you came surging to the surface. He didn’t know that he could feel this love for you again. This situation was all too much like the first time he fell for you, he loves you again. Jooyeon thinks he feels like there is a tornado inside of him. 

Jooyeon realizes how bad he wants you as you make your way back over to Jungsu. He feels that crack in his heart again that lets his feelings for you flow out spreading uncontrollably. 

Jooyeon was set on never loving you again. You were Jungsu’s and you were happy with him, so Jooyeon was only going to be your best friend. That was his role in your life and it was good enough for him. More than good enough actually. Being your best friend was one of Jooyeon’s favorite things. Your friendship was so precious to him. Which is partially why he decided to push his love for you away and never love you again, but now here he is. Very much in love with you again. He didn’t want to feel this hurt again. He thinks that he’ll never change. He’s always going to love you, but he doesn’t want to make the same mistakes again. This time he wants to tell you. That he has fallen for you, fallen for you so deep, without any resistance. How is he supposed to tell you though? He can’t exactly confess to you when you are already in a relationship with Jungsu. 

Jooyeon drew himself back from both you and Jungsu. He didn't know how to handle his feelings. It didn’t take long for you or Jungsu to notice the difference in Jooyeon’s behavior. He used to always be so happy about making plans with you, but now he suddenly wasn’t up for it. Jungsu invited you over to their dorm one day to talk to Jooyeon about it.

“Why are you avoiding me?” You ripped the bandage right off as soon as you shut the door behind you. Leaving only you and Jooyeon together while Jungsu waited in the living room.

“I’m not avoiding you,” Jooyeon quickly defended. You cocked your head at him raising a brow. 

“Jooyeon,” you stated. 

“I’m really not,” he continued with his defense. Yes, he was lying he was clearly avoiding, but that was because he didn’t know what to do with the swarming feelings tornado that was inside of him. 

“Yes you are. You ditched our movie night.” You walked over to the bed, taking a seat beside Jooyeon. You felt a tinge of pain in your heart as he scooted away from you a bit. “Did I do something? Are you upset?” you questioned. Jooyeon doesn’t want this to be the same repeating storyline where he keeps his feelings from you. He remains silent for a long time before answering.

“You made me fall in love with you again,” he finally answered. His words made you feel a whirlwind of emotions. What did he mean by again? Was your love for him not unrequited like you thought. 

“Again?” you asked. 

“Again!” he stated. 

“What do you mean Jooyeon?” You looked at him, but he only looked at his lap. 

“I’ve loved you for a long time y/n, but I was too scared to ruin our friendship. Then you started dating Jungsu, so I tried to ignore my feelings for you. I thought I would be ok with only being friends with you because you were still by my side, but I was wrong. I love you. I want to be with you so bad and I know you’re with Jungsu but-” his voice cracked. “I want you badly.” His voice was no higher than a whisper. However his heart is pounding so hard he thinks you might be able to hear it. 

Meanwhile you are having a hard time processing Jooyeon’s words. As you do begin to process his words you can’t believe them. You let out a mix of a laugh and a scoff.

“We’re idiots,” you say. 

“Huh?” Jooyeon lets out. He looks at you at last. 

“I liked you too Jooyeon, but I was sure that you didn’t like me back,” you explained. 

“Why?” he asked. 

“That one time during the holidays when I was at your house. We were doing dishes and I scolded you for not drying them properly. Your mom made a joke about asking when we would get married. You told her to not say stuff like that. That we were just friends, so she shouldn’t say silly stuff like that. I figured you only saw me as a friend that you would never love me the way I love you,” you expounded. Jooyeon recalls the day that you’re talking about. 

“Y/n no. I said that because I did like you, but I was embarrassed and I didn’t know how it would make you feel. I didn’t want you to be uncomfortable,” he informed. A silence falls over you both. Realizing that you both liked one another, but were too cowardly to say it. 

“What do we do now? I mean I’m with Jungsu. I love Jungsu, but…” You trailed off not really knowing what to say. Your thoughts were a mess. “I guess I should talk to Jungus,” you stated. Jooyeon nodded in agreement. 

“Yeah, you should.” The two of you sit there a little while longer before you get up to talk to Jungsu. You started to make your way to the door, stopping when Jooyeon spoke again. “I’m sorry y/n. I really complicated things,” he apologizes. You shook your head. 

“It’s not your fault Jooyeon. We both were stupid,” you tell him. You turned the knob of the door and left the room heading to the living room where Jungsu was. You headed over to the couch sitting down beside Jungsu. Jungsu could immediately tell that something was off.

“So what’s wrong with him?” Jungsu carefully asked. 

“He loves me,” you say. 

“He? He what?” The news actually isn't that surprising to Jungsu, but it still isn’t what he was expecting to hear. 

“My unrequited love for him. Turns out it was never unrequited,” you disclosed. Jungsu knew all about your love for Jooyeon because you told him. You told him before the two of you started going out because you wanted him to know the truth about your feelings for Jooyeon. It was the fact that you were so honest with him that only made Jungsu like you more. 

“It’s ok y/n,” he tells you. 

“What do you mean it’s ok? I really love you Jungsu. After knowing how Jooyeon really feels about me, I don’t know. My head is a mess right now.” You held your head with one hand. Jungsu slides a hand around your shoulder and brings his hand up to your head. He tilts your head over until his lips reach your temple pressing a kiss on it. 

“Let’s break up,” Jungsu says. 

“Huh? What? Jungsu I-” you started to stutter.

“It’s ok y/n.” Jungsu linked his hand with yours and placed them over your knee. Honestly when you first told Jungsu about your unrequited love for Jooyeon the only thing that surprised him was you telling him that your love was unrequited. He remembers the picture Jooyeon showed them of you from when you two went to the aquarium. You were looking at the camera, but Jooyeon was looking at you and he was looking at you with love filled eyes. Jungsu thought it was weird when you explained how Jooyeon only saw you as a friend. His suspicions didn’t keep him from falling in love with you though. The more he got to know you the more he fell for you. He couldn’t have been happier when you agreed to go out with him. He cherished every moment with you because he always had this feeling that you wouldn’t be his forever. He knew this day was coming. Saw it when you were staring at him, but Jooyeon looked at you with so much longing in his eyes. He could tell that Jooyeon loved you, but he loved you too and he wanted to ride out his time with you for as long as possible. Now your ride together has come to an end. It was time for Jungsu to let you go.

“I really love you though Jungsu,” you expressed. 

“I know, I love you too y/n which is why I’m telling you to go to him.” It was time for yours and Jooyeon’s lovestory to get written.

“Are you sure?” you checked. Your heart couldn’t help but feel a bit heavy. 

“Go! Before I decide to keep you,” he played. He pulled you up using your still linked hands. 

“Thank you Jungsu.” You squeezed his hand for the last time. He nodded his head. 

“Thank you too. For loving me and being with me,” he says, giving your hand a final squeeze before letting you go. Your hands fell apart as you walked back to Jooyeon’s room. 

Jooyeon’s head pops up as soon as you enter the room again. He stands up from his bed too. You don’t really know what to say, so instead you walk over to Jooyeon and wrap your arms around him in the tightest hug. Turning your head you press a featherlight kiss onto his cheek, letting your actions speak for you. Jooyeon feels like your kiss ignited his dry heart. This time it was serious he finally had you. He wrapped his arms just as if not more tightly around you. It’s love again.

Usually, I wouldn’t post about this kinda thing... I’m not even sure this is fully necessary to be posted. I don’t wanna make it seem like I’m trying to grab attention or pity or anything like that just so someone could feel bad for me. No, that’s not the point of this post. But its mostly to show how sensitive and toxic fans could get about a youtube show that’s not even that good. 

I’m sorry to all the Vivzipop stans, but whether it’s a fact or opinion of mine, Helluva Boss is NOT the greatest thing on earth people. And it’s not just because of the writing or the characters. It’s just not that good. This web series is not pitch-perfect! It should not be that great to where you should feel the need to go after people who don’t like it.

If you love this show to death to the point where you would call it your most favorite series, then fine. It’s whatever. LOVE the show. I really don’t care. I’m not gonna judge someone for liking something I don’t like. I’m not THAT immature! I’m not gonna make a comment on someone’s post, calling anyone stupid or crazy for shipping Stolitz or saying Stolas or Blitzo are well-written characters or that Stolas makes a great father. I don’t even bother to make a comment on a post about people not liking critiques about HB/HH, saying something like, “Those haters don’t know what they’re talking about!” “What is wrong with these critiques??” “This is a bad take!” Mostly because I would just be wasting my breath.

So with that being said, why make those same comments on a simple critical post!!??

So I made a post about the recent gif of the new and upcoming episode of Helluva Boss. It’s shown with Striker capturing Stolas and they make a ride somewhere on a horse (which is a complete waste of time. Your main objective is to kill him. Just shoot the frikin bird!) And I was mainly ranting about how it didn’t make sense that Stolas was getting captured. I was saying that despite being tied up he could’ve used his abilities and turned Striker into a stone like he did with an imp in episode 2 of season 1, or not even just that, just any of his powers. Though I did make a fair statement saying that whatever was tied around him could be some sort of special angelic rope that could be keeping him from using his powers. All while also pointing out that he is still free to move his legs cuz they don’t appear to be tied together. And his hand is free; he’s on the phone with Blitzo. I also opinionated that this might be another Stolitzo-centric episode and I was not going to like it. And THAT was when the hate comments came my way (No kidding, honestly)

One of them didn’t even seem like it was harassment, but it still annoyed me how they said I was just whining and complaining. They said, “Duh! Blitzo and Stolas are the main couple!” and “If you don’t like it, then don’t watch!” “What’s the problem with it?”

You wanna know why that’s a problem?

Okay. First off... Stolas and Blitzo are NOT EVEN A COUPLE! I don’t know where the crew is going with these two, but they’re not even official yet. Plus, there is no point continuing with the Stolitz-centric BS if it’s going to take long for them to become a thing. And how can they be?? How would it even make sense? I highly doubt Stolas would even make a good boyfriend. Stolas being the horny perverted dick-for-brains that he is does nothing but flirt with Blitzo and makes inappropriate remarks at him to the point where they have to censor his words. All he ever did was make Blitzo uncomfortable, and he knew that!! 

Not to mention he forced Blitzo into an agreement to have sex with him each month in exchange for a book which is totally pointless now! Especially when there’s this thing called asmodean crystals, where you could use them to go to the living world anytime you want!! And at that moment, he saw through one of the bath bubbles that Blitzo was in the middle of a dangerous predicament and STILL decided to call him at the worst time just to make this deal. Since it was in the heat of the moment, Blitzo felt he had to agree with him just so he could end the conversation and get back to finishing his job while staying alive. That just goes to show me that Stolas was using this to his advantage to make Blitzo agree with him since he saw what was going on and decided to call him while his life was on the line. He totally knew what he was doing!! And since being caught by humans is SUCH a bad thing and would cost your reputation, why risk that kind of possibility with no ounce of concern for your “boyfriend’s” safety?

And instead of seeing Blitzo as a person with FEELINGS, why does Stolas call him his, “Impish Little Plaything”? He’s practically telling Blitzo, “I OWN YOU!” He was literally taking advantage of him and manipulating him!!! And if he loves Blitzo oh so much, why does Stolas still feel so entitled while looking down on the imp race! He’s not even as nice to Moxxie or Millie. And he even abused his butler!!

And then there was that time on their date when Asmodeus was calling him out on having an affair with Blitzo and had the absolute NERVE to try and hide his face!! Why was he suddenly embarrassed about that anyway? This was NOT the first time where he was seen in public with him. He was fully obligated to show himself at the door with Blitzo in front of that guard that wouldn’t let him in. He even flirted with Blitzo in front of everybody at that Harvest Moon Festival!! And now, all of a sudden, he’s embarrassed to be seen with? And he had the AUDACITY to invite Blitzo into his home to cuddle with him!!! 

It’s not like Blitzo is innocent in this either. He also manipulated Stolas just to get what he wanted. Not once, but twice. He tricked Stolas into stealing all of his father’s belongings when they were kids. Tricked him ONCE AGAIN when they grew up, seducing him as a way to distract him while stealing his grimoire. Blitzo didn’t even care about him. He probably didn’t even want to see him after all those years! He was just there to take the book and LEAVE!! And he only went along with having sex with him out of pity.

How can we even call these two a couple, yet Blitzo was so quick to let Sharkboy bang him in his room! And why did we hear Stolas call Striker “sexy” while on the phone with Blitzo in one of the leaks???

Yeah... main couple my ass....

These commenters go on to say something like, “You’re not critiquing! All you’re doing is complaining! You’re just being a hater!!” 

Now, let me explain the difference between criticism and hate:

Criticism - the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.

or 

the analysis and judgment of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work.

Criticism can be positive or negative. I mostly give negative criticism while also showing some irritation and annoyance about whatever I’m talking about. I’m pretty sure that’s mostly where they think I’m just complaining or hating on it.

 Okay, so I like to express my feelings... so what??? EVERYONE does it when they give a critical analysis. And I’ll admit, I do hate the show. I definitely don’t feel for it like I did when the pilot first came out. But at least I actually have A REASON for hating it. More than a few reasons in fact. 

Speaking of hate -

Hate - the feeling of intense or passionate dislike for someone or something.

People always say that hate is a strong word, and I can agree. But the difference is that when you hate something, there is no reason or logic. When you hate something, you don’t care at all about wanting that something to improve or get better than how it is. It doesn't matter, because you just hate it that much! All there is is mockery and disrespect. And when you express hate, you’re attacking someone or harassing them with your harsh words.

And me hating something is different, cuz at least I’m actually expressing the reason why I don’t like it. And I’m not trying to harass ANYONE!! I’m just saying what I think is wrong, why I think it’s wrong, and that I don’t like it! And I actually WANT HB to get better.

Some may think I’m complaining about something when really all I’m doing is stating a fact or opinion.

"the writers will come up with a stupid bad reason” is not a good critique, it's just complaining.

Well sh*t, am I lying??? Man cheats on his wife, and we all know cheating is wrong, no matter why he did it. Oh, but wait- turns out she’s very abusive toward him and doesn’t love him at all! So now, it’s suddenly okay that he cheats. And despite hating him, she still decides to stick around and not divorce him just because she likes to torment him. Why does she like to torment him? Who knows! She’s just evil by nature as it turns out! Man could divorce said wife himself, but only sticks around for the sake of his daughter so she could live a normal life even though he and his wife already constantly fight in front of her. Can’t ignore the fact that he flirts with someone in front of her and continues his affair with that someone despite how she felt about it.... and he just wants her to be happy....

Yeah... definitely makes total sense.

Then they say this, “Maybe Stolas isn’t escaping because it’s a comedy show, DUH!! Things aren’t supposed to make sense. Sometimes things happen and you have to go along with it.”

No...No, sweetheart. That’s not how things work. Besides, for a comedy show that’s not supposed to make sense and be taken seriously, they really try their hardest to tackle some serious moments that are supposed to be soo emotional. And with the way THEY’RE doing it, it’s not very easy for me to just go along with it. There are some things I just can’t ignore and I’m going to feel annoyed by them. I’m sorry (I’m really not)

And as for, “If you don’t like it, then don’t watch it!”

Let me tell y’all somethin’.... If I wanna criticize and post about shows that I think need criticism, then I’m gonna continue to watch the show. If I wanna put anti-tags on posts, then will do that. And if I wanna watch something simply to laugh and make fun of it, then I will. If YOU don’t like that, then that’s on you. Just know that all you’re doing is wasting time typing your butthurt comments about me “complaining” about something knowing damn well I’m going to continue making criticism regardless of how you feel when you can simply just ignore me. Better yet, just BLOCK ME so you won’t have to see me complain about your precious favorite show ever again. I don’t understand what’s so hard about that. It won’t take but a couple of clicks of a button. 

And lastly, one of these comments go on to harass me, calling me pathetic and mentioning this, “How could you hate on something, make art of it and sell it?? You can’t even come up with anything creative on your own! How pathetic!” And it is a VERY stupid reason to come at me over a criticism post. I don’t like HB, there are a lot of people who don’t like HB, but lots of other folks do. So I make art of it and I sell it. And it’s not like I’m intentionally stealing anything. I know I’m drawing the same art style, but I’m creating my own designs of my OCs. I’m not the only person who does this, mind you! I’ve seen plenty of artists do this on Twitter and Deviantart. So what this person is trying to point out here is completely irrelevant!

I may have replied back and said, “There are other people who do this kinda thing. So go and harass them! Go back and forth on their post!” I really didn’t wanna recommend they do this to other people, so I apologize on behalf of the people who sell art with this style or criticize this show for saying that. I was mostly just telling them what’s the point of coming at me for this reason when other people do it too. Like I said, all they’re doing is wasting their time knowing we are never going to hear them out.

So yeah, I just wanted to put this out there. These guys really irritated me. Looks like I joined the club, being harassed by toxic fans. Maybe I shouldn’t have bothered replying to them and going back and forth with them. These guys were probably twelve years old. There’s no point in me arguing with children, cuz they never admit when they’re wrong. But if I feel that someone sh*t-talking me, then I won’t let it slide!!

Top Hat's Thoughts of Sonic Prime season 3 - Spoilers

INFINITY/10 - Dread was there for a great amount and that's all I need! Such grace, such elegance, and knuckles! 😍

(Ok I'll be a bit serious)

I really liked the season, i kinda prefer the prior seasons though due to the better pacing but it was still pretty fun

It was kinda cringe (for me personally) seeing Nine spout out the classic bad guy one liners (you know the ones) but it didn't bother me too much!

What DID kinda bother me was how certain things just get solved sometimes and it's not just this season! (E.g Rusty's redemption in season 2, Nine's redemption, and whatever the hell the resistance did to get Dread out of his depressive funk at the start of the season 3 off screen)

Quick side note, but did anyone notice the fact that SP kinda referenced the Abridged Sonic OVA twice?!?! That's pretty neat!

The Chaos Council is iconic, they are too flawless to have anything wrong with them and I need a sitcom with just them!

Shadow was such a chad for carrying Sonic to safety and honesty I think the show was definitely written by a Sonadow fan! (Go ahead, prove me wrong once you see how Shadow holds him so delicately in his arms)

I also seized the opportunity to call Grim Big, "Notorious B.I.G" nyehehe

The Roses were fun to see as they teamed up, but the part with Rusty and releasing the bird from her center kinda made me stare in confusion because:

Prepare for a small rant...

1. Please tell me you've been feeding that bird!

2. Your journey of self reflection literally went like this - "I love the Chaos Council" *Chaos Council leave her* "I hate the Chaos Council"

Look, I'm not expecting her to be this completely complex antihero or anything but holy shit! She's a goddamn robot made by and for the Chaos Council, how did it only take a minute after they desert her for her to switch sides??? At least with Nine, you can make some excuse that it was "human" emotion (even though I'm surprised that EVERYONE forgave him quickly) but I'm pretty sure a literal robot can't just speedrun a Zuko simulator

So yeah, as you can tell, that bird speech didn't mean shi- -ANYWAY! Overall, Sonic Prime as a whole was "way past cool ", I need a Chaotic Council spinoff, Dread Supremacy, Notorious B.I.G, I had nothing to complain about for the Rouges (they were fantastic), And justice for the birb!

See ya!

Hobi

Can someone check my room for my literature essay?

Yoongi

again?

You

Is this like a monthly thing you do?

Hobi

:(

You

I found it. Where are you?

Hobi

We're at the Intramural Sports Building again, same studio as last time! 2B!

You

2B nice and bring you your homework again, or not 2B…

Hobi

[Y/n]!! 😭😭😭

You

Kidding! I'm already on my way.

You chuckled as you sent your last message, amused at how so much time later, you were bringing Hobi his homework once again. You weren't really bothered, the building was on the opposite side of your classes so you never had an actual excuse to see them practice.

You had already blocked out the entire day of the dance showcase in your phone calendar. Even though it wasn't that far off, you weren't about to pass up the opportunity to see your boys in action. You idly wondered if you were a masochist - watching Jimin and Hobi move was definitely not going to help the state of your heart. But they were so good that you couldn't resist.

You were walking through the halls of the sports building when someone called your name. You turned to see one of the members of the dance team jogging up to you.

"Dongmin, right?" you asked when he reached you, pleased to see a friendly face. "I'm impressed you remembered me."

"Can't forget a good handshake," he joked with a grin, and you smiled. "I was wondering if we'd ever see you around these parts again."

"I'm actually here to once again drop off our good Hoseok's literature paper," you explained as the two of you began walking to the studio.

"That's really nice of you. I thought we might have scared you away with the sweat and general stench of the studio after dance practice."

"Nothing can keep me away from saving my roommate's English grade, not even your horrible odor," you said with an impish grin, and he staggered and clutched his chest as if you'd wounded him.

"That hurts, [y/n]. I'll have you know that I was voted 'best smelling' in the second grade," he complained good-naturedly, and you had to laugh.

"Ah, so you were the first to start wearing Axe?" you retorted, and he winced.

"That's honestly more accurate than I care to admit."

You snorted, enjoying his sense of humor. He grinned at your reaction.

"Well, I know I shouldn't be hoping hyung forgets his homework again, but I kinda do if it means you'll be visiting again."

You realized he was hitting on you, and you took a split second to consider. He was cute, funny, and had the added bonus of not living with you. But you had literally just told Taehyung you weren't seeing anyone, and your reasons still hadn't changed - it wouldn't exactly be fair to the guy if you had seven gorgeous roommates and you had feelings for most of them.

Then again, maybe the reason you were so hung up on them lately was that they were the only ones you had been hanging out with. It was harder to be objective when they were constantly around you emitting their "I'm amazing and perfect and beautiful inside and out" beams. Well, a little flirting at least couldn't hurt. If it developed into anything more you'd have to do something about it, but for now maybe a distraction was just what you needed.

"Hm, I don't know, what else could there possibly be to interest me?" You teased, giving him a sidelong glance that he returned appreciatively. Yeah, you still had it.

"I guess I'll have to think of something," he responded with a warm grin as you entered the studio. You smiled back, then waved at Hobi and Jimin who had seen you come in and were walking towards you.

"Well, I'll actually be seeing the dance showcase," you told him teasingly. "I guess I could add you to my list of people to cheer for."

"I'll have to put on my best moves, then," he said with a wink, then went to join the rest of the group. You made a point to say goodbye, though to be honest it was hard to remember he existed when your roommates were right there, gorgeous and glistening with sweat.

"What was that all about?" asked Hoseok, looking between you and the other dancer's retreating back with an unreadable expression. A bead of perspiration dripped from his collarbone down below the loose collar of his shirt, and you tried your best not to picture it sliding down his torso.

"Oh, we were just joking around," you said distractedly, and Jimin gave you a cute pout.

"But [y/n], why would you talk to him when you could have me?" he whined, wrapping a damp arm around your shoulder.

"Hey! You're all sweaty and gross!" you protested, wriggling away. You had to stay strong. Yep, that mixture of sweat, deodorant, and Jimin was definitely gross and not in any way delicious. There was absolutely nothing about it that made you want to be a total creep and take a big whiff of his neck. You were chill.

"Oh! Here's your essay," you remembered, grabbing it from your bag. You held it out to your friend, but he still looked deep in thought. "Everything okay?"

Hobi gave himself a shake, then took his papers with an apologetic smile. You ignored the way it made his bangs sway attractively in his eyes. Man, you really needed to get laid.

"Yeah! Sorry about that, just an intense practice today," he explained. "Thanks for saving me… again."

"No problem! Don't overwork yourselves, okay?" you gave them an admonishing look, knowing full well that Jimin in particular had a tendency to overexert himself, before heading out the door. You had meant to watch them rehearse, but there was only so much sexy dancer testosterone you could take in one sitting. You completely missed the long look that your two roommates shared.

~~~~~

Hobi frowned uncharacteristically as he stood under his shower, the hot water doing little to soothe his mood. Dongmin hadn't stopped asking him and Jimin about you throughout the rest of practice, and it had been increasingly difficult not to snap at him. Even the younger boy had started getting testy with his responses.

He couldn't help but feel protective over their cute new roommate. After all, you had just had your heart broken! He was just looking out for you. Even if you seemed totally over it. And it had been several months ago. A lot of people bottled up their feelings and pretended to be okay!

Ugh, who was he kidding? You had planted seeds into his heart, watering them little by little, and he had only realized it when thorns had appeared upon seeing you with Dongmin. Now it was too late, and you had firmly rooted yourself into the depths of his being.

He sighed as he turned the water off and stepped out of the shower. He should be happy for you. Dongmin was a decent guy, and you deserved more than some dance-obsessed, overly energetic dork like Hobi anyway.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that when the door slammed open, he didn't immediately react. You stared back at him with wide eyes, frozen, until he watched them travel to his shoulders, down his chest, and down…

His reflexes chose that moment to finally kick in, and he let out an embarrassingly high-pitched scream. You jumped and came to yourself with a jolt, leaping out of the bathroom and slamming the door behind you, yelling muffled apologies.

The dancer slowly slid down to the floor, still dripping water, and groaned.

~~~~~

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck, your brain screamed as you slammed the door to the bathroom, screeching incoherent sorries over your shoulder. Hobi had been one of the guys safe from your stupid feelings!

Why hadn't you knocked? Why was his body so perfect? He was lean and muscular in all the right places, slender but with an undeniable wiry strength to his form. And that was without mentioning his - nope. Stop it. You had to get out of here before your sleazy stalker brain made you go back to ogle him some more.

By the time you made it to the corner store, your mind had calmed down a bit, and you were now feeling decidedly guilty. The poor guy had just been minding his own business. Not only had you walked in on your friend in the shower, you had then proceeded to eye him like a piece of meat. All of him.

You had sent him a slew of apology texts, each one more frantic than the last, but he hadn't opened a single one. Was he that angry? He must be. You couldn't blame him - you had completely violated his privacy. You prayed this would become one of those funny roommate stories you two could laugh about in the future.

In the meantime, how could you get him to forgive you? All of the boys liked food, maybe that was the path forward. Perhaps you could wow him with a meal so delicious he completely forgot about what a total perv you were? It might be a stupid plan, but it was the only thing your currently frazzled brain could think of.

Spying the soda aisle, you made a beeline for his favorite drink. An additional bribe couldn't hurt, after all.

~~~~~

Hobi walked back into the house, feeling much refreshed after a long walk. So what if he had screamed like a little girl in front of you? So what if you had apparently been so horrified by his naked body that you were nowhere to be found after he finally gathered the courage to leave the bathroom? It was just a silly mishap that could happen to any set of roommates.

Well, it would've been nice if you'd looked mildly appreciative, or at least anything other than the blank look of shock that had been on your face. But it was fine. You didn't find him attractive. That was fine. He was fine.

As he closed the front door, the savory smell of cooking beef momentarily chased his brooding thoughts away. Jin must have tried a new recipe today, and it smelled divine. In all the, er, excitement, he had completely forgotten to eat anything after practice, and his stomach reminded him that he was starving. He followed the scent to the kitchen, only to find you in that cute little apron the eldest had gotten upon anointing you his "official sous chef". You jumped in surprise when he appeared.

"Hobi!" You said in surprise, clutching your chest. "Um, did you get my texts?"

He blinked and pulled out his phone, realizing he had set it to silent. He opened it to find a barrage of texts, all from the girl in front of him.

You

OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY

You

I HAD TO PEE REALLY BAD AND DIDN'T EVEN THINK TO KNOCK

You

I WASN'T TRYING TO PEEP ON YOU I SWEAR

You

I'M SORRY I STARED FOR SO LONG YOU JUST HAVE A NICE BODY

You

Wait fuck that doesn't help my argument that I wasn't creeping

You

… Hobi?

You

Are you gonna be back for dinner?

You

I'm really sorry

Having reached the end of your texts, he looked up to see you watching him nervously.

"Please don't hate me." You looked so adorably miserable that Hobi found himself striding quickly over to you and engulfing you in a bear hug.

"Aww you're so cute, [y/n]" he cooed into the top of your head, patting the top of your head like you were a puppy. You felt just as perfect in his arms as he remembered, and you smelled like a weird mixture of shampoo and cooking meat that should've been off putting, but wasn't. "I'm not upset. I just went for a walk to clear my head because I was embarrassed. I didn't mean to worry you."

"But you have literally zero things to be embarrassed about," came the muffled protest from where your face was squished against his chest. He went a little pink at the implications of your statement, remembering exactly how far down your gaze had wandered. Huh. So maybe the look on your face hadn't been of horror after all. Deciding to mull over this discovery at a later time, he pulled away and gestured to the stove.

"So what are you making?"

"I uh, made Japanese-style hamburger steaks," you mumbled, looking sheepish. "I remembered you said you like hamburgers so I thought I'd try to bribe your forgiveness with food. I'm an idiot, I know."

"It smells amazing," Hobi said honestly, and clearly his stomach agreed because it suddenly rumbled loudly, making you giggle.

"Well sit down then," you urged, gesturing to the bar stools at the island. He watched in appreciation as you cracked an egg onto a smaller pan. While it sizzled, you plated his steak with rice, veggies, and some sauce that had been simmering on one of the back burners. You completed the dish with a perfectly runny fried egg. And if he hadn't been melting already, he was certainly a puddle by the time you grabbed a lone soda from the fridge.

"Sprite?" he asked delightedly as you set everything in front of him. You grinned at him again.

"I might have grabbed some at the store while I was panicking," you admitted, plopping down onto the bar stool next to him. His eyes widened. He was touched that you remembered his favorite foods, and you had gone out of your way to prepare them. All this just because you thought he was upset? He felt the roots you had planted in his chest sink a little deeper.

To distract himself from the sensation, he took a large bite of the food. Oh, it was delicious. He wiggled happily in his seat, making you laugh.

"You should walk in on me naked more often," he sighed without thinking, then froze when he realized exactly what he had just said. You stared back at him with wide eyes, face a little pink. Luckily, before either of you could react, a trio of gremlins burst into the kitchen.

"FOOD!" cried Jungkook. He made a beeline for the stove, Jimin and Taehyung in quick succession. They pouted when they realized there was nothing left and scurried over to make a ring around you like the scavengers they were. You snorted and vacated your seat.

"There are more in the fridge, you heathens, just let me fry them up," you scolded as you shooed the younger boys to sit next to Hobi. His eyes were riveted to you as you bustled around the kitchen. Of course you had made extra. It was just like you to think of everyone in the house.

"Wait, why did hyung get a fried egg?" Jimin whined, noting the distinct lack on their plates when you presented them their food.

"Because he's special," you retorted, and Hobi felt the fluttery warmth of flowers blooming in his chest. He took a long sip of his Sprite, pointedly ignoring the glares of his younger brothers. His heart clung to your words and he decided he would do anything to make you realize that you were special, too.

Having trouble with the link but I read your post about Aegon II as King

Sidebar: How wild is it that Rhaenrya's bastards have some of us somewhat slapping Cersei on the back cause at least HER bastards were passable. Also her reactions make us reluctantly respect her.

Much like Rhaenyra, she believes that she is entitled to putting her bastards on the throne because her blood is superior. She's better than everyone else. Cersei chose Jaime because she saw him as her other half. He is an extension of her and as fucked up as that whole thing is, at least they have similar traits (got me out here advocating for incest). She could easily make the argument that her children look like her. Past Baratheon-Lannister unions showed Baratheon ene was superior? Well her kids are outliers. Frankly these claims are disgusting and how dare they question her virtue and honor.

Cersei is a bamf with teeth and she's not afraid to bite.

Rhaenryas reaction is to a)run and hide at Dragonstone

B) pull a Draco Malfoy by making sure her father hears about this. Hiding behind him.

Cersei never hid behind anyone. And she wasn't Heiress.

Rhaenrya couldn't be bothered to find a man with valerian features to pass her children as legitimate. For crying at loud the mad king knew to look in Essos for people like this. Was she lazy or just plain stupid? She had to pick someone who looks nothing like her husband's family.

Sorry but I cant respect her hustle. Cersei might be an awful person but I kinda like her and have to give her props sometimes, even though she can be dumb at times. At least she's active.

Rhaenryas passiveness and stupidity at the most basic things makes it hard to have that same "I dislike you but I'm putting respect in your name "

Hi there, thank you for reading!

I find Cersei's predicament here a lot more sympathetic to begin with. Not loving her is one thing, but Robert rapes her and is repeatedly violent with her. This is not about awkwardness or being inconvenienced. The thought of bearing his children is physically repugnant to Cersei. She has Jaime help her get an abortion when he does eventually impregnate her. I cam empathize with her desire to exercise autonomy over her own body. Cersei believes Robert doesn't deserve to have heirs and I have to agree with her. Cersei takes her revenge by appropriating his dynasty and placing her perfectly Lannister children on the throne. It does feel like poetic justice for the disrespected, long-suffering wife, raging at the confines of her cage.

Moreover, Cersei had no say in her marriage. Her father wanted her to be queen no matter what, so here she is. She never had an ounce of the freedom and the opportunities Rhaenyra is awarded. Viserys allows Rhaenyra to marry whomever she chooses, organizes a royal progress for her and yet she complains, insults her suitors and comes back home early. Even then, Viserys finds a good husband for her. Being married to a gay man is not ideal in the least, but Laenor is kind and gentle, respects Rhaenyra and would never hurt her.

I'm really not trying to be crass here, but does anyone remember Renly boasting he's going to get Margaery pregnant within a year? Gay people can have children and have been doing it naturally over the course of history, too.

Anyway, on that indelicate note, merry Christmas & happy holidays!

[tantou]

i kinda of have a question im really curious to know uh are itachi & shisui like related in anyway...? because ive like the idea of them together but ive been getting this thing abt them being cousins is that true? is it wrong to ship them?/genq

hi anon this got rather long so i'm putting it under a read-more

i think it depends on who you ask? i know there are definitely some people that see shisui/itachi as incest because they're both uchiha, but in canon they only ever refer to each other as friends? there's never any mention of the term cousins or anything to imply that shisui's parents are siblings with itachi's parents in any source material. personally i'm too caught up in the 'best friends to lovers' aspect of the ship to really consider much else

but at the same time 😭 i think that;s just how clans work in naruto? i don't think anyone could look at mikoto and fugaku and say they aren't both uchiha by blood cmon. not to mention the itachi shinden novels showing itachi putting an uchiha girl his age under a very long genjutsu where they both get together and have kids etc. uchihas marrying one another in canon isn't anything out of the ordinary honestly

i've gotten shit from people here and there for shipping them, either because they're from the same clan or because of their age gap (shikatema has the same age gap btw and you never hear anyone complain about them) but it's all become irrelevant to me at this point because i love shiita and they make me happy! and if that bothers tumblr user number 5968 they're more than free to block me and move on yknow? i used to spend a lot of time caught up in worrying about me "doing something wrong" because i liked them and it took me a while to realize it truly honest to god does not matter either way because they aren't real and none of this is that deep. it is within your best interest to divorce yourself from the idea that what you ship indicates the type of person you are. because lmfao ive seen some people on here that are SOO concerned with shipping only the most "unproblematic" and holy things and they themselves are awful dog shit people. shipping only "pure" things did nothing for them jfsnfdj and frankly these are not the type of people who's approval i feel like chasing especially online where i just want to hang out and have fun

this got much longer than i intended it to my bad.

tldr: "are they cousins" probably not? "is it wrong to ship them" you can do whatever you want forever i promise

I find the relationship Bane has to Todo360 to be really interesting. I'd expect Babe to prefer a very silent or at the very least extremely obedient droid that has little to no opinion of its own. I wouldn't expect Bane to be tolerant of a droid like Todo, who

- gives his own opinion of the situation, unasked for.

-Complains. Complains a lot.

-often balks at the orders he's given and refuses to perform them at first

-communicates freely and unsupervised with Bane's prisoners, often to detrimental effect

- is finicky and anxious, emotionally high maintenance, and gives the impression that Bane likely spends a lot of the relationship soothing the droid's (valid) concerns.

On this last point, a lot is made of how badly Bane treats Todo. But like... no, not really? Bane can be brusque or demanding of him, but one thing that struck me is how relatively gently Bane treats Todo the first time we see them together at the Coruscant Value Inn. Todo is frightened by the entire interaction, begs Bane for reassurance in a way one would assume Bane would find needy and irritating, but Bane just kinda....calmly reassures him and settles him down. And the fact that he's implanting a bomb into him is beside the point - the point is he bothered to back Todo up at all is kinda that point? Bane could have just gotten an entirely new droid, but he didn't. Also, in Bad Batch, Todo straight up loses Omega. I was fully expecting Bane to kick Todo to sparks for that, but instead he just reacts like a parent - not angry, just dissapointed. He doesn't even raise his voice to Todo and at no point does Bane visit any punishment on him at all for his failure. Why? This is the guy who socked Hardeen in the face for a minor hesitation, will shoot a sentient being over nearly nothing, but Todo does the worst fuck up imaginable, that has direct consequences to Bane's money, and he gets the white glove treatment.

I just wonder what Bane is getting out of his relationship with this nuerotic little droid. He could have picked one less fearful and finicky and curious and questioning but he didn't - and what's more he works with Todo for YEARS, quite possibly his entire working life. so they must have a deeper relationship than we see in the show. Do they talk about stuff? Play games together to pass the time? Does Todo ever come up with important parts to Bane's schemes, or cheer him up when he's feeling down? When Bane is sick it's likely Todo making soup and getting medicine and tending to him. Can't see anyone else doing it. And Bane values that, even if it's just Todo's programming- or does Bane deep down feel there's more at work than mere programming and that's why he keeps Todo around for so long? Todo can be irritating and high maintenance and sometimes actively destroys Bane's plans, but that irritating high maintenance droid is Cad's ride or die, who clearly loves and prioritizes Bane, and I doubt anyone else in Bane's life does. And while that's kinda sad for Bane, I'm glad he has someone, no matter how little and silly and snippy and disobedient he is.

THREE YEARS OF WRITING 🧁 (or close enough!)

Lemme start by saying I am tired. One hater takes enough out of me, I have ADD hypersensitivity, so yeah, still kinda recovering!

I wanted to make this something super happy! And actually on time, but literally, one day later, today some asshole wants to show up in my tumblr inbox and complain? And it was about the old me! So I'm doing it early! I’m here to celebrate my growth! Fuck them! Lol 🖕🎉

They were basically, oh, you’re not Q! You’ve fallen off! No, I’m not! Q is dead! And Q was never truly entirely me! I will always be grateful if she hadn’t taken the first step, I wouldn’t be here, but Q got scared even writing the simple niche of Gon carrying Ki more than once! I still remember that authors note Q wrote apologizing! I wanna laugh at her! Like she owed anyone anything! It was like her fourth fic, I think.

I get her, part of her still lies in me! Like I’m sorry to that person you’re so insecure and pathetic that someone changing and growing into a confident person who writes what she totally likes full on indulgence! Bothers you! She was always in there okie! She was just scared! 

Creating Qutie was the first step. And I’m proud of her and how far she’s come! I don’t care anymore if everyone hates me! I know most probs do! I am confident and happy about my presence here! And love that I can speak up without fearing anymore! Realizing I don’t fit! Or belong with the fandom was the best thing that ever happened to me! I don’t forgive the og hater/stalker and made me poof Q, but I am actually thankful to them. 

My third year anniversary of writing is coming up on Sept, 4! 

And I probs would’ve made a speech about how happy I am and how far I’ve come then too! So consider this that! Except it probs would’ve been 50 tags cuz that’s my style lol 😚

No matter what anyone says I am proud of me!

I love my writing, and I love my fics! It really just is the simple concept of imagining finding an author you like! And then there are tons of works ready for you to read! Even if they're small thingies like mine! I was into GK back in 2012, but I was young and there wasn't any GK really, and plus after CAA I was just depressed there was nothing there for me. So I left! And then 2020 of June I fell back into Gonki!

I watched tons of reactors and got back in, but I couldn't find anything that was my taste fic wise, so I just took a leap of fate, I found maybe one fic of Gon carrying Ki maybe one and billions that I did not like! So I decided to do it for me!

I wanna be with Gonkillu forever! I don't wanna imagine a world where I leave again! But on the chance it ever does happen? Look what I've done for me! I've become that author I would like with tons of fics all ready to read! For me! 90+ will be there if it does happen.

And nothing pleases me more! I do reread my fics as is! But the idea of knowing me of the future should something ever happen has that... it's the best feeling!

And no one will take that from me! When I couldn't find anything I wanted in 2020 I didn't go to writers and go WAHHH WAHH WAHHH DO WHAT I WANT I took action. So no loser anon is gonna stop me. If you liked the old me become her, but I like the new current me more! Who goes full in no fear!

I do wish there was a GK world and I will say stuff like that! Cuz I do wish there was! But I've never gone to a writer and been like dooo this for meee, like!

I put my money where my mouth is and am creating the GK world I want for myself!

Thank you, me! For the three years of writing! Here's to many more!

I’m on a little teeny tiny island by myself! I need a cute flag 🥺 IT HAS TO BE PINK OMG WITH GON CARRYING KI AND KI WEARING A CUTE PINK DRESS AND LITTLE BUNNY EARS 🥺 he’s a little bunny 🐰
