🥛 maybe i've done too many of these in a short period of time but everyone just feels like an akaashi match atp

🥛 but anyway

🥛 akaashi would fs keep all your secrets (unless they're dangerous ofc) because he is NOT a gossiper

🥛 he probably knows all the drama everywhere because people feel comfortable telling him and he's just like "yeah yeah oh wow"

🥛 but he never actually says anything so people can't hate him yknow?

🥛 (i think i'm comparing hq teams too much to my volleyball team irl smh)

🥛 but yes akaashi is the definition of mature

🥛 he's a bit more stoic but i think he likes to relax and have fun every now and then

🥛 you just can't really tell if he's having fun lol; but he is, he loves spending time with his loved ones

🥛 akaashi seems big on scheduling as well, he's very organized and likes to know all the details

🥛 the two of you will probably need pushing by someone like bokuto to go out and let loose

🥛 akaashi is also an overthinker which may lead to some problems in the initial stages of the relationship

🥛 like if there are conflicts but neither of you bring it up to one another

🥛 you'll probably start communicating through writing cause it's easier than talking

🥛 but akaashi will eventually realize that talking face to face is more effective and from then on communication will be smoother

🥛 akaashi is a big reader, so you'd definitely read together before bed

🥛 if you have similar tastes, you might read the same thing at the same time to discuss

🥛 if you have different tastes, you might recommend books for each other

🥛 you two would probably get involved in a local book club and frequent the library / bookstore

🥛 he doesn't particularly like going to the gym but he'll use you as motivation to go lol

🥛 he's the most gentleman-esque boyfriend anyone could ask for

🥛 would constantly be taking care of you and doing things for you like holding your bags or opening doors

🥛 he also treasures the time spent with you and would be completely focused on you during dates

🥛 akaashi in a bookstore?? hello like the most natural thing ever

🥛 akaashi loves to match glasses with you! he thinks it's so cute and he often wears them too (idk if he actually needs them or if it's just for fashion but whatever)

🥛 he also strikes me as a coffee kind of guy

🥛 he just gives cozy vibes you know? cuddling up together on the couch with a good cup and a cup of coffee while it rains outside 🥺

runner up for you was yamaguchi tadashi!

A/N: there you go 🌧️anon, i hope you liked your matchup!

(HENGFENG BLEACH ANON) (*SMASHES THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A SLEEPER AGENT BEING WOKEN UP*) I AM HERE I WAS BUSY W OTHER GAMES ASIDE HSR (we do not look at the unfinished paperwork at my desk do not perceive I will work on it once I'm finished doing my dailies) but yes. That. Mmmmh. Yes. Double Aventurine. Present and Future Aventurine. The wonderful self-cest which is somehow more fucked up than Hengfeng itself. I cannot write for shit. I do not have the time but mama Mao you must perceive my carnal vision. BUT FIRST FINISH 2.2 bc my idea hath spoilers for it so I beg of thee to FINISH IT.

Okay but the two "" fighting"" (i say that w quotations bc something about is it really a fight when you already know the outcome? :]) over you bc ofc the only time Aventurine will ever feel threatened is when himself is the opponent in question. I can see this happening when they're still stuck in Ena's dream, maybe [Aventurine] appears in [Kakavasha]'s dream with you. Where nothing had went wrong and [he] is the ideal man for you and everything is okay. [Aventurine] who mocks this idylic dream [Kakavasha] has by ntring him and with you becoming increasingly torn at who you want [Aventurine] or [Kakavasha]? (yes I wrote this w either translation mc or the casino table mc in MIND bc alpha malewaife mc would turn this soft real fast and turn it into a lesson for the two that no matter what they would love him and it becomes a threesome vanilla sex DO YOU SEE MY VISION MAMA MAO DO YOU SEE IT IM GONNA GO INSANE MAMA MAO)

ANYWAYS TUMBLR PLEASE SEND ONG

SCREAAAMMM HELLO HENGFENG BLEACH ANON I CANT BELIEVE THE SUMMONING RITUAL WORKED ??? now I know how to get your attention I simply need to post selfcest art of our faves HAHAHFDJSLSSJ

AND YES I SEE IT I SEE THE VISIONNN..... never did I think I would see ntr in my inbox I'm about to ascend godbless 🛐🛐🛐 <- fully revealing myself as a complete degenerate ig. I'm incredibly h-word over this but I'm also somewhat fascinated by the idea that Harmony!Aventurine ntring the reader and making them feel conflicted actually means that the reader kinda PREFERS how Real!Aventurine has been treating them in reality AGLFDJADJS VERY PAR FOR THE COURSE. especially casino pwp mc that one is a complete freak (I'm still not sure whether they're the same mc as translation but they're lowkey a freak too so it applies both ways LMFAO)

DYING that u immediately understood the outcome w alpha malewife even though I haven't posted the fic 💀 I agree it would end up with a threesome and ykw I think Real!Aventurine would end up being in the middle. the Harmony and alpha malewife will be tag teaming him and showering him with praise 👍

i literally asked u guys about thoughts on new obx content from me like 30 secs ago but

i was just thinking about what kind of reader i like best with each of them

for jj i think the whole pogue x kook thing is so so so cute and idc if it makes him sorta ooc (to me, it adds plot bc jj is obv gonna have some issues with his rich bitch early on). they meet while he's working for her parents or at the beach or something? i feel like there would need to be a direct reason for them to interact, he's not about to walk right up to any kook just for fun, and i sure as hell wouldn't be strutting up to him without reason lol.

for john b, i picture him with reader who is (for plot purpose ofc, idrc what ur situations are irl this is just for fun) not a kook, but also not quite a pogue. they don't really say much about it in the show but i imagine there must be some kind of middle class in the obx, like the situation can't just be ur rich or ur poor. reader would be semi-new to obx (i've been thinking this plot up so much like i'll have to elaborate on it later but) and becomes friends with the pogues at some point. reader is very inspired by s1 cassie howard where she's just a certified lovergirl and has frfr daddy issues and doesn't think jb would like her but she's so so so so wrong. like they're really good friends and he has constant heart eyes for her but she just doesn't see them?

for pope i like the vibe of a touron. he has such a poor track record with girls, but then he meets reader during her summer vacation at the boneyard is immediately in love, they have such a cute little summer fling and then both cry when she has to leave? they text and snap all year long and then she comes back the next summer and they're just so sweet and wholesome. maybe she's a little bit edgier than him so they balance each other out and the pogues think its so funny that he seems like a completely different person when she's around.

with kie i can't see her with anyone other than a pogue. i'll be real, her whole "i'm not a cook thing" is just so annoying to me like just accept ur privilege and sit down girl-but anyways, i can't see her interested in dating a kook. maybe they're not really friends, per se, but they run in similar circles and just happen to know each other from afar. they really connect when they both attend the same beach clean up and there's not enough pokey sticks to go around so they decide to share, and kie is so whipped after that. it's not hard to convince her friends to get along with reader, bc they literally already do, and they're v sweet. reader probably hangs out at the wreck during kie's shifts and just loiters so her dad hands her a bucket and makes her bus tables instead of taking advantage of the free refills (and he gives her a cut of the tips). kie is a v stubborn girly so i can see some conflict with these two but since it's my story they usually come to a middle ground where they can.

i'm torn with sarah, bc on one hand, a pogue!reader is so fun bc she could be a sugar mommy to them and sarah would be able to escape from her shitty family, but on the other hand... hear me out. we've seen her with a pogue, and her and jb are great but i have this image of leighton and tatum from the sex lives of college girls where sarah would be so enamoured by a reader who was somehow even kookier than she was, minus tatum being sorta a shitty person. i'm still back and forth between the two, but i'm open to suggestions.

i'm sorry but rafe would not be interested in dating anyone but a kook. he may be down to hook up with some tourons and maybe the occasion pogue, but c'mon guys he literally thinks pogues were made to serve him, so him making one his actual gf is sooooo unlikely and v ooc for him? idk i guess in my head there is some way that you can make him canon!rafe and also more romantic? like he's def vvvvvv toxic no matter what but still.

that is all, lmk what you think :))))

HEIR OF APOCALYPSE #3

A slight improvement on the confused and mischaracterised misfire of last issue, but this is a 4 issue miniseries. There's 20 pages left with nothing interesting set up, just disparate threads and tension-free conflicts that are over before they begin. If you haven't read it yet, I don't recommend it, though I'm always eager to hear anyone's opinion on X-Men. For those that have read it or don't care, spoilers under the cut.

I'm doing this dot point-style. I like to be off the cuff with my initial thoughts, and if I have more to say I'll come back to it in long form.

- Warren and Apocalypse (I guess he's not called |.A.| anymore - that's a shame) are having it out! No, wait they're not at all. They trade one liners then Apocalypse tells him everything. I'm glad Warren got to speak his pain but it's so fleeting with nothing new to say. What is the point? If we're only getting lip service, I'd rather the limited space be used for something else, something new.

- Nobody is actually dead. So those fakeouts feel even sillier in retrospect and the implication is that if it wasn't a simulation they'd all be dead. Gotcha! Except nobody reading actually fell for the cheesy cliffhanger. The characters in the story sure did though, and they're sad about it.

- Why the fuck is Sinister still breathing then? Resurrection is a thing of the past and 3 of your friends plus a former student turned mass murderer are dead as far as they know. They've all just spent years with this man and he burned paradise, betrayed everyone repeatedly and showed no remorse. His Dominion bullshit nearly ended the universe and it definitely led to Krakoa being sacrificed and 250 thousand mutants abandoned in a cosmic abstraction. Apocalypse, you know the guy with a 5000 year relationship with the island, didn't end him on sight? Dude killed Hope gruesomely once, AND she sacrificed herself permanently for a chance to beat Enigma. Does Cable have any thoughts on that? He raised her from birth and spent his life protecting her - they're family. Father and daughter. No thoughts, not mentioned. Everyone should be killing this man who's been torturing and slaughtering mutants for over a century. They discuss it, kinda, and just leave him grinning and joking about their casually dead loved ones. Cable threatens him and gets an ableist joke in return. Cable is angrier at Douglas Ramsey for accidentally setting off a trap. If it's a joke to him and nobody else cares, why should I? HE LITERALLY KILLS MOST OF THEM TWO PANELS LATER.

- Forge gets three lines, Emma doesn't want to be here/doesn't like Sinister, Danielle Moonstar gets to say the same thing Emma did twice then fire some arrows. Cypher gets to translate twice and bumble a corny trap (or are we supposed to think it was intentional?) The Gorgon is very perceptive until he's not at all and gets hit with a mind control disk (I guess he's not immune to that anymore. Cool, whatever.) I'm sure I'm forgetting someone's lines but it doesn't matter. They're pretty interchangeable so just imagine it's your fave.

- Aaaaaand they all die. They don't seem very stressed about it tbh. Emma telepathically forces Sinister to jump off the same trap/bottomless pit they're all meekly tumbling into, nice! One wonders why she didn't do that at the start. The characters except Sinister alternate between being very concerned about danger/death and being deeply casual. What are the stakes here? In HOA #1 we learn Apocalypse promised 'no fights to the death.' Is it meant to be unclear if they trust that promise? It's impossible to tell either way, so I don't know what the stakes are. They're reacting to their friends dying in front of them which indicates very high stakes, except nobody is displaying a sense of self preservation. Is this a tournament or a Saw trap obstacle course? Is it just Sinister that troubles them?

- Warren and the reader get the reveal that they're in zero danger (not a surprise ofc) but the contestants don't. I'm truly not sure if they'd even react to this information. Again, low and confusing stakes. The comic ends there which means we've got one issue for a climax and resolution.

- As it stands, there's been minimal character work. I'm not sure if we even have everyone's motivation for entering the tournament. For those that we do it's the only new thing we learn. The premise is Apocalypse testing everyone but at this point everyone fails. The tournament has unclear objectives and dull obstacles, so Apocalypse fails. He keeps stating his unimpressive motivation but maybe he'll add to that in the finale.

- The only consistent action in the series so far has been the conflict with Sinister. It's the only beat where I can point to the stakes as established, that other contestants might take seriously. Plus it keeps being centered, which begs the question 'will Sinister be Apocalypse's heir?' Does Sinister want that? He's the only contestant that sought him out, and he's been taking on everyone else by himself. It looks like he does. Nobody else seems to want it, but they're sure to object to Sinister in the role, right? Would it even change his behaviour if successful? He's been opposing and messing with mutants for over a century. Not much of a status quo change.

- Cable, Cypher, Mirage, and Forge are still in the tournament, but do any of them even want it? I'll have to check if we've been given that. I know Cable doesn't.

- Either way I think it's likely that conflict with Sinister will dominate the final issue. We haven't been given anything else and there's no time for it either. If there's no confrontation what was the point of centering the dude? He's a great character, especially once Kieron Gillen reworked him (twice actually. Additive retcons both times. I wish he was writing this) but we got so much of him during Krakoa. He was interesting to a point, but his presence as the snake in Eden was always more interesting than his journey. In fact it was made very clear there's nothing there. 'Bad jokes. Memes.' Even if he's got a bold new reason for existing (because he needs one now. He was cloned by Enigma to help with Dominion. He has nothing now.) it hasn't been setup and we need a break from him tbh.

- If he's not focused on next issue what was the point of having him suck all the tension out of the plot? Maybe we'll get both threads tied up. 10 pages each and the tension has already peaked. Damn, that's disappointing. What galls me is that Apocalypse is on Arakko and he's stated that he's staying, done with Earth. Are Genesis and two of his remaining three children still exiled? What's the political situation like? How's recovery from 4 back to back wars going? What do Earth governments think about a planet full of very old and powerful mutants on Mars? What effect does Storm leaving have? Are they going to be in future stories? Is anyone going to point out that they can terraform planets still? (I know Hope is gone but Synch or Khora can do it.)

- Any of that sounds much more interesting to me tbh. I'm going to stop there for now. I have more to say, but I might save it until the series wraps up next issue. Hit me with an ask if you want my thoughts on anything else specific. Thanks for reading.

I actually kinda like how lady d talks about Miranda in To promise the moon. The whole 'yes I love her but I recognize that she's an awful person.' We've heard some things that Miranda has done to her followers and the Dimitrescu's, and IDK if it's gonna happen, but what would Lady d do if Miranda actually followed through with her threats???

ooh, this is a good one! i assume you're talking about what Cassandra said ("What good has she done for my family, aside from threatening to starve us if our experiments continued to fail?"). all we know is that these threats are, so far, quite empty, but what would happen if Miranda actually began to starve them?

i imagine the starving would take a long time. Miranda provides them with maids to eat and drain if they have no other source of food; other than that, she allows them to take any disloyal followers (ones that do not become experiments) and anyone who stumbles into their territory (like the Reader).

so, let's say she puts out an order that the Dimitrescus can no longer just take anyone found in their territory, as she needs more people for her own experiments. well, that's not too bad, right? Alcina has been preparing for a day like this; she faces the brunt of these threats, and she knew Miranda would follow through one day.

she puts herself and the girls on a rationed diet. Daniela is already used to not being allowed much blood unless it's incredibly diluted, so she would probably suffer the least. Cassandra and Bela would likely become irritable and snappy, the former more so, but they would be bearable. Alcina probably said not to kill or maim any maids during this time, at least until this foolish order had passed.

only... it doesn't pass. months go by, and their supply of blood-infused wine is becoming scarce. Alcina sends Cassandra out more often to hunt, but whatever she brings back, it's not enough. she watches her daughters becoming weaker and weaker, and it breaks her heart to be unable to do anything.

one day, a maid slips up and spills a bit of tea on the dining hall table. this simply cannot do. Alcina orders her daughters to take her to the cellar, allowing them to do as they see fit. the maid does not come back.

this becomes a bit of a norm around the castle for some time. when a maid does something out of place - no matter how big or small - they are sent to the cellar, and the girls are allowed to feed. they bring back enough for Alcina, and because of that, she allows this to continue.

but they stopped receiving maid shipments months ago, when Miranda had first spoke of this silly order, and their supply of maids is beginning to run low, too. Alcina still holds out some hope that this is simply a prolonged punishment, and that her leader would stop before her and her daughters perished.

unfortunately, it continues. there are fewer and fewer maids in the castle every day, and the girls are becoming more and more feral. they pace around, look for scraps around the castle, beg their mother to let them into the village.

Alcina is a smart woman. she knows that if she lets her daughters out into the village, if she lets them slip up once, that Miranda will find out and this punishment will remain everlasting.

so, she decides to go to Miranda directly. i imagine this can go one of two ways: either she tells Alcina that she and her daughters are no longer of any use to her, implying she wants them to die out... or she smiles wickedly and cruelly as she tells Alcina that their loyalty is to no longer waver, that they must accept that she will be the only person to ever provide them with what they need. they must remain obedient and their experiments are not to fail from here out.

it's a show of power, you know. that Miranda can do whatever she wants and not suffer the consequences. perhaps she did try to starve them before the events of To Promise the Moon, but i doubt it would have lasted longer than a month or two, at most.

we haven't seen our lovely bird mom yet... but we will, soon, and you'll see exactly why the Dimitrescu daughters are not loyal to her, and why Alcina may love and adore this woman but despise who she is and what she's able to do to people.
