#she would probably be annoying as shit if she were real lol

May we have some hc's for Bakugo with a flirty s/o?

I rise from the dead to post this and probably disappear for like another two years LOL but it's ok I'm rly into Bakugo rn :)

Bakugo with a flirty! S/O!

When he first encountered you, he thought you were utterly annoying

Especially since this 'encounter' was just him overhearing you flirting with damn near everyone in class

"You always make my heart float, Uraraka!" "Kaminari, you are electrifying"

"Anyone tell you that you are smokin'?" now they were directed at him, and if they were gonna be, atleast pull a good one out

But unfortunately like every other dimwit in class, you stuck to him like glue

and the flirts kept coming

"You really blow me away" "C'mon, just one date, I can feel a real spark between us!"

Your advances were frequent and terrible, but he learned to tune it out like he did with every other idiot he hung out with

Until he overheard Kaminari and Kirishima complaining one day at lunch while you were discussing an assignment with Aizawa

"Man it's not fair! She used to love me, now she's only all over Bakugo!"

This made him perk up, you only now did it to him?

He started paying more attention to your flirts, and realized they had become solely for him, and much more serious

"You have the most intense motivation, can I motivate you too?" "Eyes like those should be allowed to rest once in a while, don't push yourself too hard~"

The sudden attention and seriousness of it all slowly broke his walls, until you finally woo'd him into a date that he swore was out of pity

but that was seven months ago, and your relationship AND flirts are still going strong

"Babe, let's go out! I promise to keep my hands off of you~" "You look so amazing in your hero costume, I wonder what it would look like on the floor-"

Those ones get you a hand over your mouth as he drags you away from everyone else, his entire face steaming with embarrassment

But he won't admit he secretly craves your jabs, the confidence and pride he gets in knowing that you really think all of those things

And that you only say those things to him

He knows you will never stop saying them, he just hopes your wedding vows are somewhat appropriate

He loves all the flirtatious comments you make, the winks you send across the room

Until everyone makes fun of him for it, and he has to blow them up.

Gah I feel like this one is SHIT but in my defense I haven't written anything in like two years-

I realize I write in a weird mix of HC style and story style, my bad it's weird :3 Goodnight!

[sicbaby]

sended this to another acc i really like but ill send this here too :p

vendetta!leon with the biggest corruption kink ever and the girl (reader) that lives in the house just next to his, that always make sure to wish him to "have a good day" when she sees him and gets all red when he says it back, that when she bakes something she always make sure to save some to give it to him, and she tries to have a "friendship" with him so bad but he always seems to ignore her

and he does tries to ignore her because he knows he is def not a good man, he knows it so he always try to show to her that he is not a person, but shes just too stupid to realize that to the point that it makes him a little annoyed and worried for her, it still makes him hard lol

i love vendetta leon cause let’s be real he’s the biggest piece of shit alive and he’s an alcoholic so added bonus! i fantasize about him treating me like shit… anyways.

i imagine reader being a bit of a bimbo of some sort. like so dumb in the brain that there’s absolutely no room for sad or depressing or actual real thoughts that would ruin her day. and leon’s the exact opposite. all he thinks about is sad, fucked up shit that would probably make you vomit on the spot. but he likes that about you, your innocence. it makes him a bit sick, realizing he wants to do nothing but take advantage of you and expose you to the dark thoughts he has.

he can’t deny you’re sexy. those short skirts and low cut tops that have your breasts practically spilling out when you wave good morning to him. the crush you have on him is so painfully obvious. leon isn’t used to that. are you his type? not exactly. but he thinks he could have some fun with you.

he doesn’t start getting annoyed until you start leaving shit on his porch. cute notes, food items, weird love letters that look like a middle schooler made them with cute stickers and heart doodles all over. he’s a grown ass adult for christ sake. he rips up the letters, leaves the remnants on the porch for you to see.

you do see it, makes your heart wrench. yet you keep trying. you really, really like him.

in one last attempt at trying to get his full attention, you take over some food to his house, not just leaving it on the porch this time.

leon answers the door with a scowl on his face. he sees the food and your hopeful smile. “come in.” he grumbles, no greeting necessary. it ticks him a bit that you genuinely think you could win him over this way. your heart flutters as you walk in, taking in his messy house, setting the food down on the counter.

“you know, sweetheart. i’m not an easy man to please. yet, here you are…” he trails off.

you’re so nervous, face burning and throat so dry you feel like throwing up. “i-i just.. wanted to be a good neighbor, you know?”

“bullshit.” he responds quickly, makes you flinch slightly. he couldn’t help himself.

“a good neighbor,” he repeats, a dark chuckle following it. “is that really what you think? you think leaving me food and love letters makes you some kind of saint? don’t kid yourself, sweetheart. this isn’t about being a good neighbor. it’s about you wanting something from me. something you can’t seem to get through that empty, pretty little head of yours.”

he enjoys watching your facial expressions. your smile faltering, face turning into uncertainty. he knows he has the power to turn you into anything he wanted. it was too easy. he called you pretty, though!

“you think i’m some prize, some object to be won, don’t you?” he continues. you’re stunned, mouth open slightly, wanting to interject but nothing comes out.

“relax,” he chuckles. “i’ll let you have me. but i want something from you, first.” he says, inching closer to you, trapping you against the counter. his words were not a promise, merely a trick to get you to give yourself up to him. but he probably didn’t even have to “trick you.” one word and you’d be on his knees for him, wouldn’t you?

you nod eagerly, just as predicted. god, it makes him laugh, it makes him hard. how’d he get so lucky? you didn’t even put up a fight. “anything. i’ll do anything.”

those words triggered something in his brain. and you had absolutely no idea what he was going to do to you. he grabs you by the wrist roughly, leading you to his dark bedroom, throwing you on the bed. he starts degrading you, calling you “slut” and commands you to address him as “sir,” or maybe even “master.” (he’s a sick fuck let’s be real, wants you to be his dumb little pet.)

he could see the flicker of uncertainty in your eyes, but you both know you had already given yourself up to him. but that didn’t really matter to him anyway.

he crawls over you, pinning your arms up above your head, kissing at your neck. you could smell the alcohol on his breath as he did so. it made your stomach churn but made your panties wet.

he continues to practically rip your clothes off, muttering things along the lines of “you’re mine now,” “such a pretty little slut,” etc,. every single movement he makes is rough. including spanking, choking, unleashing all his pent up anger, his darkest desires onto you. your pleasure comes second to his.

you’re completely at his mercy, almost like a toy to him. but you like him so much, so you let him :(. you just wanna be his dumb girl.

he ends up fucking you in every single position until you’re a drooling, senseless mess.

not only were you his dumb girl, but you were his slut, his toy, his possession. and in the end, that’s all that mattered to you. at least now, you were finally his.

[faggoatquixote]

I’ll be real. nothing annoys me like the assumption that this crying, distressed fem shuro - who’s being comforted by female friends including a VERY shaken falin - simply “fell in love” with laios.

besides this assumption being misogynistic and heterosexual as hell, it’s also fucking stupid. look at this. what about this image screams “I fell in love with a quirked up white boy” ?????

she’s reporting harassment. no I don’t think laios intended to do it. but when a female noble from fantasy japan’s boundaries are crossed so throughly like canon shuro’s were, fem shuro would probably have interpreted it very differently...

“looks like that just made the situation worse…” YEAH NO SHIT LOL

UnPopular Jujutsu Kaisen Opinions (with arguments)

manga spoilers

☆ Yuji is the perfect MC

i've seen a lot of people trashing on him. some say gege writes him poorly and doesn't give him enough scenes, some say he's boring because he doesn't have any fancy cursed techniques. first of all, yuji has been aware of the jujutsu world for 6 months in manga; even less in anime. he doesn't have any OP cliche to him (looking at you Ichigo) and that makes him so much more enjoyable! when he loses he loses for good reasons and when he wins you can feel genuinely happy for him because you know he deserves it. he is a teenager and the shift in his mentalities embodies that perfectly; along with him we discover the cruelty and unfairness of the jujutsu world. at first, especially if you're a shonen watcher, you'd tend to believe he will shift to a high white knight borderline annoying mentality yet he doesn't, the jjk verse doesn't work like that. yuji is able to adapt. he has traits that you'd see in your real life friends: silliness, kindness, idiocy, love for jennifer lawrence etc but also traits that make him a perfect mc: empathy, resiliance, convinction, raw anger. + gege have him some of the HARDEST panels.

ㅡif it's just pain... Yuji Itadori won't ever stop

also. his last battle with mahito. hands down. best. panels.

mahito (another well structured villain) RUNNING for his life while yuji walks slowly behind him. if that doesn't show major improvement from the kid he was at the beginning idk what does. that's some MC shit right there man.

☆ Sukuna is not a fraud

the fraudkuna memes are funny. i admit. i'm sure mahoraga kisses him goodnight and tucks his blankey, however, sukuna is a fucking piece of shit, LOL (i mean it in the best way), my man literally became curse. people expect him to not use the weapons he has to his advantage as if he didn't want megumi from the beginning specifically for using his abilities. a good gun doesn't make you a military tier shooter. it's about the resources, it's about the experience, it's about the aim. "why doesn't he use his curse technique wah wah" — because he knows gojo is strong. unless he isn't absolutely sure he will strip him away from all his gimmicks, he has no reason to flaunt his true powers. sukuna wants to win. he wanted to kill gojo since the beginning of the series. i think the fight is balanced well, sukuna uses his resources and takes the consequences for being a tad too cautious. in the heian era when cursed energy had a purer, rawer output even domain expansions were simple in principles: you're in, i kill you. (line from the manga, btw) his CT is probably straightforward as well with a simple principle so having gojo use his infinity against it and figure out how to strip him naked would make him lose faster than todo called yuji his bestie.

☆ Gege doesn't hate women

because the unfortunate thing with nobara and yuki getting xd-d by kenjaku, a popular belief seems to be that gege is fond of trashing the women in his series. argument people have for that? "the only one in the spotlight is maki and she's female toji". first of all, if gege hated women he wouldn't write them as he does— each one of his lady characters is incredibly well structured and way beyond the love interest/ gotta be protected trope. mei mei, shoko, utahime, miwa and many others became non-existent, or what? even tengen is a woman. masashi kishimoto (the creator of naruto) is an author i'd say has 0 regards for women since the way most of his girl characters are built is literal dog shit. sakura is naruto's one sided love and a sasuke dickrider, hinata is a stalker that sharts when she sees naruto, karin is a sasuke dickrider, kurenai is asuma's chick and the only two women somewhat ok as a structure are tsunde and temari. (i am a big fan of the naruto series but i am spitting facts, also an avid sakura lover) plus there is a rumour that gege is a woman too and from the way sato sugu is written i'd agree anw

☆ Kenjaku is the best villain of the series

homie got railed by itadori's papi just for his plan, that's not even aizen level of plotting bro. he got drizzled in jizz and gave birth to yuji 💀

how good that d had to be for him to get impregnated....

ANYWAY jokes aside, he is very calculated and chill. he is not the strongest but his literal essence is to be a technique stealing leech and well, he's just that. with suguru, even in his villain arc you can empathize. sukuna is cool and straightforward: he wants to massacre people, kill gojo and then enjoy his life slashing random ass people who don't kneel is total submission.

kenjaku? bro, kenjaku has plans over plans and he executes all of them. even in geto's sexy body he still gets hated because there is genuinely nothing likeable about him. not because he's a poorly written character, he's written to be a piece of shit that makes you wanna break the screen when he gets a W and idk about y'all but even when he exorcised mahito i was like "aw hell nah bruh, get your hands off asap". may come as a shock, i know but we're like supposed to hate villains (not me being the biggest sukuna simp even in his crusty dusty OG form🤭) and well, nobody fucking roots for kenjaku. so gojo, go take your boyfriend's body or something fr.

☆ Yuta is.... mid

hear me out.

i don't hate him— not in the slightest. i hope he will actually have something going on with maki since apparently nobara is afk. i liked his entire rika situation but... bro.

yes, i will be going into the power system 😭I'M SORRY BUT like all he does is copy shit. wow. sure, he's a good copycat. i am not complaining about him being called so powerful and wtv but i don't find anything exciting about his battles and his personality is dead ass boring. do i get happy when he wins? yes. do i hope he'll come and save goatjo? yes. yes. yes. but people call him the real MC and all that shit... not even that— i... nothing in me likes him. my opinions are not absolute. his story is cool. i liked jjk 0 but the only thing that ruins his story is literally his lack of perosnality. and don't come at me for not grasping his depths or whatever. yuta is best fanfic y/n material because he can be turned into bashful stereotype really easily. "omg, best friend power, precious friends made me wanna live ❤️" very sweet HOWEVER very untouching for me. i only liked him when he made maki go all blushy because my girl deserves happiness.

☆ Toji actually cares about Megumi

is he the good father that would spoil his kid as a ray of sunshine?

no.

but he chose this. to forget about everything, to abandon his pride, to part himself away from the clan that rejected him and live his life on his own. megumi's mom made shit better for him and she died so his life became shit again. he thought that by entrusting megumi to the zenin clan he would actually be able to make something of himself since he had cursed energy.

also, people tend to forget just how conservative and judgemental the 3 big clans are, maki and mai have been shat on their whole life by the zenins, especially maki. toji went through the same shit if not worse. he wasn't always buff max version of himself, he wasn't born with anything. exactly because he gave up on all the things in his life he was able to reach that type of power and live with some purpose since he failed in everything else.

in the manga he has the option of coming back to life as long as he keeps killing sorcerers, which is his speciality, but he meets megumi, recognises him and kills himself in order to not hurt him. be fr. anciet sorcerers sold their booty holes to kenjaku to get a second chance at life.

ANYWAY. SADLY i can't post Toji memes since i reached my pic limits.

let me know what you think:) i may make a part 2. feel free to also ask for my opinions about anything in the verse, lol. if you wanna see my fics check my ao3, i promise i don't write in the same braindead way i type. <33

[reallyromealone]

Brome I now have one ask for a part 2 of the alpha steve x pregnant omega. Where he goes into labor and everyone freaks lol

Yesyesyesy

🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑

Steve shift ended a few hours before dnd, (name) having already eaten his snack from Eddie and snuggled on the couch as Steve got stuff prepared.

Steves parents left the house fully paid for them, Steve's dads work moving him to Chicago but it was fine, Steve's parents leaving him a trust fund that would cover any bills for both their lifetimes "we should get (gross topping) on the pizza..." (Name) spoke up and Steve looked slightly disgusted "we can get you a pie baby, them you don't gotta share" (name) seemed pleased with the compromise and rubbed his belly "hear that? Were getting our own pizza!" Steve found how he spoke to their pup precious as he finished up "so you gonna stay here or in our room?" Steve asked and (name) hummed "probably our room or the den... The couch is comfy" (name) seemed indecisive and Steve gently kissed him, unable to resist the other.

Steve ordered the pizza just before the party showed, table set up and pop and a few snacks set up (Steve was ready to let them starve but (name) didn't want the pups to go hungry).

(Name) was dozing on the couch when the doorbell spammed, startling the Omega as Steve stomped to answer the door "oi! Cut that shit out, when the pups born you better not do that shit" Steve was already such a dad (name) noted to himself as his brother came to see him and gave some candy, watching his brother excitedly eat some "chips!" Dustin said excitedly "thank (name), I was willing to let you all starve" let's be real he wouldn't but dad Steve was fun to see.

They got into their game in the dining room as (name) moved to the den (with assistance from Steve, (name) drooling a bit at his arms) and snuggled into a throw blanket as Steve watched a show on the small tv, letting (name)s head.

"Oi! Let the pregnant one get food first" Eddie and Steve barked and the teens parted as Steve prepared a plate for (name), the others looking horrified as he took a bite only to halt "I need to get to a hospital" (name) said seriously and everyone froze before panicking "HENDERSON, GRAB THE GO BAG" as everyone scrambled, (name) grabbing more pizza before he was grabbed by Eddie to the car "you grabbed more pizza??" Mike asked shocked and annoyed at this and (name) sighed "I'm not eating that shitty hospital food"

Dustin, Lucas and Steve came with the go bag and anything they would need "honestly it's not so baaAAD" (Name) hunched in his seat as he crushed a slice of pizza much to the teens horror and Eddie and Steve were just monitoring the distance of the contractions.

(Name) was walking in the medical room as Steve held his arm, Eddie taking the kids to their respective houses with the promise to collect the pups when (name) had the baby.

"Fuck! Steve your fucking cock is never going near me again!" (Name) screeched out as he pushed, practically sucking the life out of Steve's hand but the alpha wouldn't dare say anything to his Omega who was currently pushing a baby out of him.

"Fair enough!" Steve said trying to console his mate.

(Name) was still in slight shock after having the pup, holding their newborn daughter close as Eddie peaked his head in with (fast-food) in hand "Eds, come meet your neice!" (Name) said in a hushed voice and the metalhead quickly set the food down and washed his hands before coming to see his siblings and neice who was absolutely precious, a perfect combination of (name) and Steve "here" (name) said gently handing the baby to Eddie, Steve and (name) watching lovingly as he looked at the babe with so much love and care, the metalhead not caring that Steve snapped a photo on the polaroid of the moment.

"I'm gonna teach you how to play guitar and good music..." Eddie said lovingly as the babe grabbed his nose, Steve capturing another photo "she's never going to not know love"

"Is that my grandkid?" Wayne asked poking his head in, he had already taken the mantle of granddad for the tiny pup and the two new parents smiled as the older man washed his hands "well aren't you the prettiest thing I ever seen" he said to the babe "you did good kid" Wayne said to his nephew who smiled "thanks uncle Wayne" (name) said as he began eating his food, offering Steve fries and his drink.

Eventually everyone got to meet little (baby) Harrington, Robin and Nancy bringing a little going home outfit for the new arrival and everyone getting a picture with her, all to be added to the baby album.

"I'm serious though, your dicks not going near me"

"Fair enough"

[birdiewriteslit]

i love everything you write so so much! 🫶💗would you consider writing more for warren? maybe a pt 2 to the engagement or honestly literally anything, i just love him but not a lot of people write for him LOL

yeah, i can totally do that! the lack of djats fanfics is criminal lol (also sorry it took a bit to respond. i’m still recovering and i had this queued to post yesterday and it just like didn’t?? so i’m begging with tumblr for that)

“summer wedding”

warren rhodes x fem!reader

part 2 to “engagement”

disclaimer last time i went to a wedding i was five years old so i’m making shit up also i don’t care if it doesn’t fit the show timeline bc i can’t be bothered to do research

kinda short and not proofread

You glanced anxiously out the open window. Gray clouds were beginning to fill the sky as the breeze picked up. You fidgeted with the ring on your finger while watching the waves become rougher.

“Would you sit still?” Camila said, trying to effectively braid your hair.

“Do you think it’s gonna rain?” You asked, still staring outside.

Camila turned her head to look at Karen for support, who sat on your bed. “Probably,” she said.

“Karen!” Camila scolded.

“What? I’m being honest.” She smoothed out her silk dress that matched Camila’s. “This is nice bedding, by the way. I really love what you’ve done with this place. Thank God he couldn’t convince you to live on that boat.”

You ended your staring contest with the ocean and met her eyes in the vanity mirror. “I compromised with a house on the water. It’s beautiful, but I am deathly afraid of hurricanes.”

“Well that’s unfortunate because it looks like one is upon us,” Karen said, reaching over to the nightstand for the champagne bottle. She refilled her glass and sipped it, looking smug.

“Are you drunk already?” Camila asked, a bit annoyed. “The wedding starts in an hour.”

“I sure hope not. You two are the only bridesmaids who are currently here. Not sure where Daisy is,” you said worriedly.

“She’ll show up later,” Camila assured, not sounding too confident herself. “And I’m not a bridesmaid, I’m the maid of honor.” She tied your hair off with a white ribbon and smiled proudly at you in the mirror.

Karen stood up from the bed and bent down to hug you from behind. She rested her head on your shoulder. “You look so beautiful, Y/n.”

You let a breathy laugh escape your lips as they drew into a wide smile. You brought your hand up to rest on her forearm. “Thank you, both of you. I’m so happy you’re here.” You felt your eyes well up unexpectedly.

Camila was quick to bring a tissue to your face. “Don’t go crying on us now,” she said, kneeling down to dab it under your eyes. “You know we’ll cry too.”

You laughed through your nose and smiled broadly. “I know.”

Karen pulled her arms away from your body to pat your shoulders. “Shall we get the dress?”

Camila nodded with excitement and rushed to the bathroom where your dress was hanging up. Karen followed close behind.

You turned to look at yourself in the mirror. You sniffled and wiped your nose with the tissue Camila left in your hand. God, you were so emotional.

Three weeks ago, Warren was proposing to you on the beach, and now you were going to marry him in the same spot. It felt like a dream. None of this felt real, but all of it was happening.

Karen and Camila came back to the room, Karen holding the dress, and Camila holding onto Daisy’s arm.

“Daisy!” you exclaimed. “You’re here.” You stood from your seat and pulled her into a hug.

“Of course, I’m here. What? Did you think I wasn’t coming?”

You grimaced. “Do you want me to answer that honestly?”

She scoffed and rolled her eyes. “No, I really don’t.”

Karen laid the dress out on your bed. Camila took Daisy’s dress off of the hanger and left the room with the other two women, closing the door behind them.

You removed your clothes and slipped into your wedding dress. The sleeves were long and were draped off the shoulders. The flowing skirt billowed onto the floor.

You stared at yourself in the mirror. “Camila!” you called.

She came rushing in seconds later. “What? Is something wrong?” A hand flew to her mouth. “Oh, my God. It’s so perfect.”

She grabbed your hands and whirled you around so she could take in the dress. “You are the most beautiful bride,” she said after a moment of studying the white fabric.

Her bright smile matched your own as she said, “Let’s go get you hitched.”

——————

The ceremony was better than you could have imagined. It was small, with only immediate family and close friends attending.

Chairs were set up on the beach in front of your new house. It was windy, but the breeze wasn’t chilling. You were still a bit concerned about the possibility of rain.

The moment you saw Warren down that aisle all your worries floated away. He looked astonishing in that white suit. He grinned at you like he knew you were nervous. He was too, but there was no doubt in his mind he was making the right decision when he saw you in that dress.

You said “I do” on the same sand he asked you to marry him on. The priest barely finished pronouncing you husband and wife before Warren was kissing you with a ferocity that made your knees weak.

You were overwhelmed with happiness during the reception. You almost burst into tears when Eddie and Camila gave their speeches.

Everyone was dancing around your backyard under the soft light of the lanterns decorating the sky.

It was so beautiful. Everything was perfect, and you were beyond ready to start the rest of your life with your husband.

elden ring dlc final boss spoilers

feel like im going fucking nuts because i like... dont really mind the final boss' lore? the fight is completely busted mechanically and i really did not want to fight radahn ever again, but i really dont get most of the complaints about the story itself.

im honestly surprised at how many people earnestly think they shouldve brought godwyn back as lord consort instead which. im gonna be real. i think thats really fucking stupid LOL. the base game tells you over and over that he is the deadest guy who has ever died. he has a whole questline and ending. his story is over. ive seen a lot of people say that radahn being revived somehow retcons or ignores the stuff in the base game about miquella attempting to revive godwyn, but in my eyes castle sol tells the complete story on its own. miquella didnt want to bring godwyn back to life, he wanted him to die a true death. if anything, he probably would have opted to use godwyn's body instead of mohg's if he hadnt given up.

the argument that radahn wouldn't have made the vow in the first place falls flat to me too. he adores godfrey, why wouldn't he want to become a powerful lord when miquella ascends to godhood? he went back on the vow, but we know miquella influences people's wills so it doesn't seem contradictory that he ends up as lord consort anyway imo

there's stuff linking miquella and radahn in the base game, even if we aren't told explicitly that they were close. sellia, where radahn grew up, is full of miquella's lillies. ordina, a town ostensibly built by miquella for his followers, has architecture identical to sellia. its not super explicit, and you wouldn't be able to come to the conclusion that radahn is fated to be miquella's consort from that, but people have accepted that melina is a daughter of marika based on even less. (or that shes the GEQ or whatever the fuck lol) and, yknow, the whole issue of malenia's crusade against radahn that was never fully explained until now

yeah miquella's plan undermines radahn's honorable death, but i think thats intentional. miquella is selfish. he's a child, he doesnt understand how his actions impact others, and he thinks the potential good outweighs whatever harm he causes. its fucked up by design.

my biggest issue with it is just how hard it sidelines malenia. the crusade wasn't her choice, she marched to caelid solely to deliver a threat on miquella's behalf, gravely injured herself in the process, and now she can't do anything except wait for him to get back. her lack of agency kind of fucking sucks.

anyway. it really annoys me when people act like godwyn was the intended final boss all along and fromsoft just rewrote everything 2 days before launch "to subvert expectations/for fan service". plenty of shit in the dlc feels rushed but this genuinely does feel like they were setting up for radahn the entire time, at least to me. it certainly was never gonna be godwyn lol

I must know your headcannons on Kantrio and Johtrio interactions

OKAY!!

i think i'm stating the obvious here and i hope that's alright!

in this scenario i consider red and ethan to be the protags, they are the heart of these relationships.

The kantrio consider the johtrio their juniors, for a VERY long time but eventually as they get older they see each other on equal terms, for the most part.

ethan was the first one to meet red and blue, red sees him as his energetic lil kouhai for the most part, they get along swimmingly because ethan is a nice, sweet guy, but not a doormat. i think when it comes to training pokemon, they're a 50/50 split. but people tend to remember red more than ethan. ethan is pretty okay with that, except when you annoy him enough.

blue however doesn't gel with ethan's personality, blue is flighty, impulsive and ethan is a bit grounded, wholesome even. also ethan did not like being the go between for red and blue's Weird shit when they were teenagers.

this is probably why he gels with leaf. they pretty much bond over their shared Dissatisfaction with whatever blue is. except leaf actively trolls blue. ethan is way more passive aggressive about it.

and leaf has lots of money, mysteriously. nobody knows what she does for a living but she is generous with money, funding her little besties ventures. she's like the wine aunt with the ekans around her neck and a glass of merlot in her hand at all times. she's a bit of a schemer, but it all works out for her.

i'm still trying to figure out lyra, i think pokemas does a bit with her as a musician? i like that, fits her name too. she's down for anything essentially, blue is her bestie for real actually. if ethan is too much of a wet blanket then lyra's the opposite.

i also think red and ethan are just. whipped. maybe. oh sure they are powerful trainers but they live at the mercy and whims of their partners.

silver might require a whole separate thing, she's trans femme in my head, as an adult. i think it would be REALLY FUNNY if ethan was the one who came up with her name because he didn't get the chance to process what was on her trainer ID and came up with "Silver" when put on the spot.

red likes silver a lot, she's easy to work with, minds her own business, and is a really strong trainer. blue was the one who recommended her to become viridian city gym leader after him. leaf and her have a really funny relationship where leaf sees her as her little sapphic junior that she imparts all the lesbian lore onto and silvers like "you're only like three years older than me wtf?" silver sees right through her lol.

I THINK thats it for now, all a WIP really but i've been thinking about it for weeks. i just hope it all makes sense!!

volume vii thoughts

as per usual I have complaints about the missed opportunities of casa

first things first, the casa boys' sprites looked bad to me when I saw that post fusebox made but after playing for like a minute, I was like nah actually they're quite fine. However, prettiest sprites they're competing with are Jin, Claudia, Oakley, Tyler, and Bea so the competition is rough. Also idk something is throwing me off with Shawn and especially Kyle's face shapes.

I think last post I made I said Hari at least got more of a chance than Tyler, but scratch that actually, it feels like they got the same chance because suddenly we're in casa and hardly any mention of him, even though he and my MC have kissed a few times already and she hasn't really rejected him fully over Jin yet? Don't know if anyone's in the boat of going all in with Hari but I'm curious what the gameplay is like for them.

So Emel has randomly decided to be annoyed at Oakley again (I'll replay for you next time Oakley 🥺) and it's clearly because the routes are merged now, which is such a shame because I do think Emel and Oakley could've worked it out and become a fun couple to watch on the real show (probably a boring one though that the audience would dump until after the show ended that their real personalities come out on social media and the public like them individually or at least understand why they were together so long). And I know it's not the most in character thing but I so appreciate it not being a complete 180 for the sake of plot because I'm trying to imagine this with all the couples given what I know about them from my playthrough and Emel/Oakley always have problems because she's uptight and wants more dramatics in their romance and he's chill so any little thing he ends up doing sets her off, sure, I can buy that Emel is a little delusional. Then Luna/Jin would have problems because Luna is less extroverted than Jin, serious, and irritable (which honestly, relatable) and so Jin does things for a laugh and she doesn't get it. So maybe he didn't wink at Bea or did it as a joke because he's being cheeky and she takes it as flirting and starts an argument. And from my playthrough, Sophie and Jack always feel like they're looking for an argument so that checks out too. It's not perfect, but I can feasibly see how one could justify this plot point.

absolutely living for flirting with Claudia in casa

pet peeve subjective raunchy races is back 😠 at least a couple of them are better, like they did have oldest boy in there at least. everything else though, I don't care that much to listen to them argue about who's the most well traveled or stylish.

I love Bea's personality, she's so fun. And tbh, I'm kind of liking her and Liam together. He's forward and she's into it, and it seems like he can keep up with her for now so I'm happy with that couple and I hope it doesn't turn to shit (it probably will).

also pay to win when losers are gonna throw a part anyway ok sure 🙄 I think I've mentioned this before but like personally I think if they're gonna do gem scenes, there has to be a logical ways out of it rather than just MC being like "nah I don't feel like it" and then they lose?? at least for other gem scenes it's like "tell Sophie off 10 gems" or "stay silent" like sure that's fine I guess.

anyway the chats with the boys were actually all pretty fun and short. I, as per usual, have immediately gravitated towards the foodie/chef character but I'll admit I see what y'all are saying about Kyle. Tbh even Max isn't too bad but I'm cautious bc I'm getting Eddie vibes (it's the blond and the gossip lol). And I like Liam, he's like a less cartoonishly silly Hamish (so he reminds me of Felix).

I really like the free party wear dress and this is the second volume in a row MC has accidentally matched with a boy not her partner lol

Bea first mentioning she was bi but not flirting, I just thought maybe they were setting her up to partner with Claudia/Theo depending on who you couple up with/if you're on one of their routes. But then oh the tension at the party when she's staring at MC saying she wants to turn heads and Claudia getting nervous??? loving that.

I don't know what it's like for the other boys but it seems like Shawn and Kyle are drama averse, which I think could be an interesting plot point for later coming back from casa of course, but I also don't know if I believe in fusebox's ability to incorporate that in the story. (once again, the day I write a fic and learn to code its all over for you fusebox)

I didn't pay for the Bea talking about Jin scene but I saw yall talk about Sienna and like I doubt it's going anywhere if it's behind a paywall? it's like the Brad and Christy stuff tbh like unless a bunch of dumped islanders are coming back at the end, I'm ignoring it.

anyway it truly is missing Jin hours again 😔

[inhalesinkbreathing]

First post and its my oc intro wow lmfao!!

Also tw: very long intro for her soorrryy!!

Blog rp rules too!! I'm open for any interactions >_<

Sorry for shit quality-

Full name is Keiko Kyotoru! First name Keiko (Ke-ko) last Kyotoru (Kyo-to-ro)/Himejima. I cant decide sob. Keiko is Himejima Gyomei adopted child!!

Keiko would be Non-binary (androgynous; a Nonbinary whose both genders) and goes by She/He. plus I won't expose her gender since I wanna see who guesses if she is a female or male lolol. Plus I think I accidentally put more scars on her other art woops I'll change that-

Her role; Demon Slayer, Rank; Hinoe.

Backstory

(And he kept her in his estate and trained her; means he kept her from when he first became a hashira and when she first joined and slowly became a Hinoe rank. (14) She did the final selection at 11)

Keiko's family (Father: Gakayo, Mother: Ayaka, Brother: Kaika) lived in the village Gyomei live in, so her brother can peacefully (not so because heyyy demons) and be happy!!

Keiko's father almost sold him for ermmm,,, let's say he almost made her into Kanao past situation- because of how desperate he needed money for his sick son and wife!!

Keiko does go to the orphanage that Gyomei live in often as there were probably some kids her age to have fun with + when she's not getting thrown by her father, she helps with gyomei! That's why when they went to Jail, Gyomei decided to officially adopt Keiko.

Here have Kyojuro explain it 4 u for how she's half demon lol

Also just so u know Keiko is a free-happy going kind of personality, even being hit with a traumatic event you'll see her smiling. (Nah she forces it, she can't be like Tanjiro tbh) she's almost seen as annoying with how happy she is,,,

Ink breathing

Ink breathing came from Water breathing mixed with stone breathing.

Forms; 6/7. (TW: idk how to make these detailed as possible lol)

Galaxy void vortex (Offense) - 銀河のボイドボルテックス

Galaxy void Vortex; it creates a black splatter from her katana as its either spun— with dual blades attached— or ink like water tsunami (mini) swallows up the demon visions whole as the slayer slowly walks up to the demon and slice off its neck with ease as the demon still stay there with confusion until the last bit of their body, then realisation.

Black World veil(Defense) - 黒い世界のベール

Black World veil; where it creates a ink veil around the demon surrounding as a fake slayer— isn't real, will run around the demon as in means of distraction. Not for long depending on the demon noticing the slayer running away or had slayed all the fake ink ones (5 fakes)

Dark World striker (Offense) - ダークワールドストライカー

Dark World Striker; It's a multiple attack at once, where it sends slashes multiple time as the slayer who wields dual weapons can do this forms. Where they grab by the chain that hooks up both katanas as they use it to the full potential of swinging it around the demons surroundings, either cutting them up or injuring them until much later where it'd fully slice them.

Ink walls (Defense) - インクワラ

Ink walls; where the slayer uses the attached katana and spin it around their body with fast speed, making the weapon the shield as they can run while using this form to protect themselves or someone.

Dual shots splatter (Offense) - 2発の弾が飛び散る

Dual shots splatter; Where the slayer uses a long chain and their katana, attached to the katana as the slayer throw the katana into the demon, then swinging it back to them before repeatedly doing this like a gun shooting its bullets but its able to retract it back.

Ink droplets fusion (Offense) - インク滴の融合

Ink droplets fusion; Where the slayer uses small metal pieces or droplets of water/blood. The slayer uses it and at the same time uses the fast speed of swinging and creating a spark before hitting it with full force as they hit it against the demons body parts, to stun then running or fighting back.

Dripping of the dark universe (Offense/Defense - Hidden form) - 暗黒宇宙の滴り

Dripping of the dark universe; where the slayer stops breathing to make their body numb and slow their heart beat. Making it impossible for the demon to know where the slayer is by how fast their quiet run is, not able to tell by breathing or heartbeat too as they can multiply slice ur neck no matter how many times it can grow/attach. It is a dangerous form, it can either make the slayer die if use this form alot, death by not breathing or accidentally stopping ur heart too low.

How Hashiras/Keiko view eachother + Relationships with Canon characters

Kyojuro/Tengen relationship as family because Keiko sees them as older brothers, plus they both are best friends so it'd make sense. Genya and Keiko is siblings but genya isn't officially adopted. She still would call Genya brother! Too bad sanemi lol

Oh and this is also S1 Keiko.

Taisho secrets about Keiko!

Keiko had to be taught by Gyomei + Tengen about Japanese before she could understand it! Especially for missions.

Keiko knows about Chinese, English, ASL and Japanese.

He has really, REALLY bad memories, close to Tokito's but not that bad.

A Kakushi (the perverted one) gave Keiko a opened uniform (almost like Sanemi) and really short skirt because he thought Keiko was a female and got reported by Gyomei.

Nobody still knows what actual gender is Keiko. Not even Gyomei.

Keiko once actually wore a haori but it got too annoying for her and made it into his belt and tied one on his shoulders. The scarf she wears on her neck were actually bought by Genya/Gyomei as a birthday gift since she never had one before.

Keiko's past time is carving wood! Especially when Gyomei's training area is filled with nature. The mask she wore was actually made by her.

Her vision is so bad that her glasses doesn't even help her anymore but she still wears it as it is still clearer than without glasses.

Keiko is usually with Gyomei as such that she doesn't like socialising with others instead of the Corps, she doesn't like being judged and stared at.

Keiko has Insomnia + Hypersomnia.

Keiko HATES the dark! So sadly she'll sleep beside Gyomei as a sense of comfort.

Others!

Actually since her Breathing is ink, she usually has actual ink on standby for some reason. She sometimes uses it to either, in battle‐ use it as distraction— or not in battle, to annoy Tengen with it.

How tall is Keiko? She'd beside Tokito's height but slightly taller since with her shoes, she'd reach over Gyomei waist by abit. And without she'd exactly be at his waist.

Keiko is also a healer, since she was young she had to bandage her own wounds and slowly got into healing. That's why if u go to Gyomei's estate for a visit after his mission, you'll see her bandaging his father up.

Sanemi/Iguro has beef with Keiko because of Genya/Misturi lmfao, but sometimes Keiko does try to push Iguro to marrying Misturi faster,, and try to mend Sanemi and Genya relationship.

Keikos theme song(s):

Season 8

Terror of the Autons 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

Weird that I would ever say that but I kind of wish this episode had had a couple more parts. I didn't get to feel anything for the secondary characters, especially Rex, I wished we'd seen him fighting against the Master's control a bit more, especially concerning his dad. The Autons are still creepier than in New!Who, especially the big headed guys touring in a bus like a weird boysband. This incarnation of the Master is probably one of the best, he's classy, shows very little emotion and is ruthless. I really really love him. But I'm afraid I can't say the same for Jo (yet?). I miss Liz. And I'm mad that they replaced her with someone that doesn't know anything about science so she can just "assist" the Doctor by bringing him tea and making phonecalls for him. In this house, we spit on mysoginy.

The Mind of Evil 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

Mike Yates, my beloved. Really, he's the real hero of this episode. I think I had liked this episode better when I first watched it. I like the idea, the machine that feeds off evil thoughts, the peace conference, the missile. But I felt that there was too much coming and going, half of the time Jo and Three were escaping from prison to be caught two seconds later. I did like the Master and the Doctor (briefly) collaborating but it was very short.

The Claws of Axos 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I liked this one. The organic ship, all linked to the Axons and to axonite was very very cool, very much like the TARDIS (and I don't remember if the fact that TARDISes are grown was already a thing or if it came later). Visually, they were ugly but if you can pass that, the concept was interesting and well handled. I'm obviously still a slut for the Doctor and the Master cooperating (actually maybe more of a slut for the Master and the Brig collaborating, oh my god!), especially with Three trying to make everyone think he's done with Earth and is just abandoning ship when shit hits the fan. Very well done. And of course, baby is still stuck on Earth and we still get to have him bitch about the Brig and that's really all I want. And I still don't like Jo. She was better in the previous episode but she really annoyed me here, please give me back Liz.

Colony in Space 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

Finally an episode that isn't on Earth in the 70s/80s. Only setback for that is that we have a Brigadier-free episode and I wasn't ready for this (and still Three is rude to him). I liked the setting for this episode although it dragged a bit sometimes. I wished we'd spent more time on the natives, they seemed really interesting but there's still a lot we don't know about them. And I really don't like Jo. I don't remember disliking her so much first time I watched these episodes, maybe I forgot.

The Daemons 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

My favourite episode of this era and probably one of my favourite of all the classics. And what's not to love? The esoteric atmosphere of it all is so well done, with the fews shots at the beginning of the cat and owl, and stuff and the Beltane celebration, it's all very witchy and I'm all for it. There's even a witch, Miss Hawthorne and I love her thank you very much. We also get the Brig in bed, in his PJs and he's in very good form with some of his best one-liners. Yates and Benton get more space to shine and I can totally say now that I'm in love with Mike Yates, bisexual disaster. And only Three is allowed to bitch about the Brig, I love how he tells Jo off when she calls him an idiot (or whatever). The Master is obviously another big asset of this episode, cult leader seemed like a natural next step for him (lol). Anyway, great episode that I always love to watch.

[believeinyourotp]

OTP

Nathanette ships: I just love Nathanette no matter what form it comes in.

AliRose: He should have returned past season 1, the Royal and an average girl.

Love

Love is always to strong a word, and also there is no ship strong enough to that word that I would consider close to an OTP but not quite it, sorry guys

A strong word

Like

Adrigami: rivals to lovers, respect dynamic.

LukAdrien: I’ve seen fanart, they’re cool.

MariGami: IRL, this would probably never happen and there doesn't seem to be any girl crushes for Mari. But if there were any girl rivals Mari didn't hate or wasn't evil, it would be Kagami.

JuLila: Mainly got into this because of @gowonielovely , no questions asked.

MariKim: Got into because of artviavivi aka @chubearr , I would love to see more of them despite their canon story sucking alot, I love any fanart or story, that she makes of them.

Good

Ninonette: I would have liked to see them date…

LadyBee and ChLady: Chloe falls in love with the masked hero, and Marinette is usually annoyed with her shit, but comes to respect her when she gives Chloe the chance to be a hero.

ChloDrien: Childhood friends to lovers, can you tell I have a thing? I think as of now they'll never be together and maybe Adrien is a bit disappointed that his friend he's known since childhood stopped being his friend because she hates one of his other friends that 1 has a crush on him and 2 because she will never be given the offered another chance to change because of the creators wanted a character who represented other people they knew and wanted to implement into a cartoon for children, which I think they should try to let kids who relate to these characters and still have a chance to grow and change, will never have the inspiration from the WORST of characters to be inspired to. Just a bit bitter lol.

Liladrien: Maybe I want to see Marinette suffer in romance for a bit. Also Nice Guy MC x Mean Girl, please crush my IRL dreams lol.

Felix x Bridgette: they have this cute dynamic.

Don’t Mind

LukLoe: I think there was only one next gen with my OTP Nathanette and Adrigami, I liked the design of their kids, and I’ve seen some sad cosplays of them on TikTok back then.

Tikki x Marinette: ok

JuleRose: They’re cute, but maybe I would have liked to see how they met and their impact on each other

Nathaniel x Adrien: Maybe a rivals to lovers au

Adrien x Alya: could have been interesting if they figured out they were Ninonette’s wingmen.

Kim x Ondine: They’re ok I feel like they needed to pair him up with someone so people would ship Marikim less.

Liluka: Maybe it’s because Luka’s not a main character and this would feel more pair the sparesies

Nathaniel x Luka: might be a great dynamic

Lila x Marinette: Could have happened like Lumity.

Ivan x Mylene: ok

Adrien x Plagg: ok

Tom x Sabine: Awesome parents

Nino x Adrien: Best bros

Nathaniel x Alix: Could be an interesting dynamic

Lukanette: Nice guy x nice girl, but I feel like it was to replace Nathanette

Ladybug x Luka: ok

KiMax: I guess I’d prefer over Kim x Ondine

JuleRosAli: Polycule, maybe we need more of them

Ninogami: Artviavivi has a cute dynamic and cute art between them.

AdriGami: I just do, rivals to lovers amiright.

Eh

LAdrien: The most tolerable ship of the Canon Lovesquare. At least in this form it's obvious how much they like and admire each other. Had this never existed or they never found out their alternate identities, or both, would they still be into each other?

JAdrien/AdrEka: I'm not sure Juleka swings that way.

AlyNino: Ok. What if they never got together through the wingman episode, alternate scenarios?

LuKagami: Like I said Pair the Spares trope, not that into it, especially when they are basically treated like plot devices by shows, theories, films, that have the main couple, especially when they are the main focus main characters main couple, that have a will they won't they plot that makes them worst as people and probably people you don't like in real life doing the same things they do. That is one trope I hate.

MarcAniel: I guess they stopped having Nathaniel have a crush on her and felt he needed a partner if he wasn't with Ladybug or Marinette, he HAD to be with someone. I don't know, I really don't like how Marc wasn't introduced, like maybe if he wasn't introduced as someone who really wanted to work with him and felt really bad just because Nathaniel didn't feel like working with him, or just wasn't introduced working with Nathaniel at all, it would have worked, like maybe having a similar hobby that didn't relate to what they're mainly known for characterwise, I would have liked it more. It's just really hard for me to like.

LAbrina: Well don't like it so much anymore since that one episode I know she bullied Sabrina for and Sabrina tricked her into a confession, I just had hope before that episode and it made this Tierlist, It would go down a tier now.

FeLila: Villains(?) in love lol, not all that into it.

ChloBrina: The show doesn't seem to want Chloe to change which will probably lead her into downward spiral for her character, now she's completely alone. For now I want her character to be the same, but more uptight and closed off, not even blinking at the sight of a new friendship because NO ONE in the show wants to like her and even if she moves away she can't move on, but she still has dreams, wanting to be someone great and wanting love, and has finally learned her lesson. This would be a great idea for a spinoff series just for her

ChlAli: One of the Royal's and family of a democratic country's president's daughter, I don't really ship it, but like what if Chloe's dad was upset that her daughter didn't have anymore friendships in her life in Paris because everyone she's known has abandoned her and sends her to Prince Ali's country to get to know each other more, since they probably don't interact all that much except international social events, so he sets up more meetings so she can have someone to hang out with, eventually becoming one of her closest friend and eventually when everyone around them is getting married and having families, everyone in their family worried that they'll never get married they set up an arranged marriage, they don't hate it but their not romantically interested in each other, they're just a guy and girl friends who decided 'meh if it had to be anyone I'd rather it be you' type of situation.

LAlya: Lila x Alya, I think Alya wouldn't want to interact with a hardcore liar, especially being some type of journalist/she's actually a honest blogger.

AlyaNette: Alya and Marinette don't really seem like the type of relationship to be interested in each other, unless I'm not looking to deep into it and one party was actually trying to hide their feelings this entire time

KimAlix: There's not many scenes with them, and I think male/female friendships need to be important and not immediately making them romantically interested in each other and when one's feelingd are unrequited they stop being friends because they can't deal with it, and in a way it will hurt both of them in the end.

ChloLila: They either or hate each other or relate to each other.

NathLoe: Nathaniel is still friends with Marinette, somehow still cares about her in some way, also probably wouldn't get with the girl who made fun of his crush on the girl who is his ex crush still friend that much.

Antibug x Chat Blanc: Villain loves villain

MarcNette: Not sure they'll like each other in that way ever

AlixMax: Hmm... not sure really

MaxNette: Could be an interesting, but I don't think they'll ever be paired up by the creators knowing that 1 The creators don't seem to like ships that aren't main couple and isn't gonna bank them the money with the drama 2 Even if it did happen I'll probably be disappointed by canon again

Jagged Stone x Penny: Huh? They were a thing?

Pl'Ikki: Ok

Kim x Chloe: Girl probably messed with his feelings and head, don't need to watch the show to headcanon that

ChloGami: Maybe Kagami could inspire her to not be stuck up and not the total worst character, but I doubt that we'll ever happen since the show just sees them as plot devices.

Max x Sabrina: Ok

Duusu x Nooroo: Ok

Wayzz x Trixx: Ok

Wayzz x Pollen: Ok

DelBrina: Haven't watched the movie, but maybe it'd be a romantic long distance relationship.

MarcIno: I feel like this is just pair the spares trope acting up again.

FeLoLya: Childhood friends(?) plus girl they think is cool

NathAurore: Feel like even celebrities besides Adrien don't get the chance to shine more in the show besides Adrien, like has she ever appeared in the show besides her Akuma eps?

LiLuka: Before, could have been cool, one of the main/supporting characters gets with the mean girl/girl MC does not trust, could have been redeemed. But honestly who would want to get with their ex crushes bully or someone who hurt them, unless it was just your fleeting crush lol

LukaZoe: I think Zoe is gay but I could be wrong. She could be Bi, but also I feel it would be a boring because it seems like your basic pair the spares ship

Dislike

LadyNoir: I feel sad for Chat even if he's a simp, it's just imagine if your crush thought you were annoying as heck.

MariChat: Mari just being openly annoyed at Chat, when he isn't looking and Chat eventually Chat falling for the 'just a friend', I don't know, I feel he would think she's a little weird even as a friend let alone a crush, like imagine the friend you never knew liked you to an unhealthily obsessed level.

AdriNette: What I said above.

ChloNette: Bully x bully, hate x hate, could have been interesting if Chloe didn't manipulate her obvious feelings for Adrien, and Marinette actually gave her a chance to be a hero again, and her not disappointing.

Gabriel x Nathalie: A man obsessed with bringing back his ex wife and the assistant who's been by his side, who looks over his kid trying to maintain their relationship they have with one another. TBH, he's willing to die just to bring Emilie back, he knows he sucks, but maybe it's mainly because he knows he has no idea what to do with his kid since then.

Hate

Don't really hate any ships TBH in general, everyone probably has a guilty pleasure.

Souvenir

True Blue - Shane SDV x reader - Chapter 4 - 3.1k words

If it wasn’t obvious, I know nothing about creating music, so this was all made up, hope it’s at least a tiny bit realistic lol. I enjoyed this chapter though!

Ada was thanking Yoba all morning that she had agreed to an 7AM start with Robin - somehow waking up at 6:30 rather than 6 felt like a lay in. It wasn’t quite enough though. After Shane left, she couldn’t sleep for hours. Insomnia was a real bastard when you have to wake up before the sun. She attempted to make herself presentable, but ended up just slicking her hair back into a tight bun and putting on some thicker-framed glasses in an attempt to hide the puffy, dark circles that had formed under her eyes. She had just put the kettle on when Robin got there, looking absolutely flawless, as though she had been up for hours. She probably had.

After a quick chat over a cup of coffee, they got to work examining the out-buildings on the farm. A lot of the timber had rotted over the years, and would need replacing completely, but a few features were fixable, which was better than nothing. Robin gave her a price and materials quota, and honestly, Ada had no idea if it was good or not, but she had no other choice in the valley. She would probably have to get her axe upgraded though - there was a lot of wood to collect. But, she also had to save money, so she would have to collect the ore herself instead of buying it from Clint like she did last time. Which meant venturing into the mines. Shit.

That was another day’s problem.

For now, she had a breakfast with Marnie to go to. Robin had arranged it when she knew Ada needed help with her animal shelters - they were going to plan it all out together, in a way that is good for the animals, economical for Ada, and buildable by Robin. Once they had walked down to the ranch, it was a little before 8, and Marnie looked happy and fresh-faced when she opened the door. She was cooking pancakes, and had notepads and pens laid out on the table for sketches and planning.

“Sorry,” she said, “some of them are glittery gel pens and crayons - you have to work with what you can with a young-un in the house!”

“That’s ok,” Ada laughed. It was sweet. “Do you mind if I wash up quickly, Marnie?”

“Yeah of course, bathroom’s just around the corner. How do you take your coffee? I’ll have it ready for you when you come back.” Ada didn’t have the heart to tell the dairy farmer that she only drank oat milk.

“Just black please, thank you!”

As she rounded the corner, she heard a voice call out and the bathroom door crack open.

“Jas,” Shane shouted sweetly, laced with frustration,”we’re going to be late, I need to get you to Miss Penny so I can get to work.” The bathroom door opened to reveal Shane, still slightly damp from the shower, towel wrapped around his waist, doing his hair in a fogged up mirror. Before Ada had time to take in that beautiful sight, a door to the left popped open, and a little girl emerged, dressed in a dark blue pinafore with a little white polo shirt underneath. She went into the bathroom, her dark hair still frizzy from bed, curly and sticking up all over the place.

“Can you do my hair please, Uncle Shane?” Shane looked down at her, clearly annoyed at being late, but she smiled so sweetly up at him, and Ada watched as his face soften. He picked her up, muscles flexing in a way that made Ada blush, and put her on top of the toilet lid. She giggled the whole way up.

“Alright, dolly, now I can see you properly, what do you want today?” She giggled again.

“I’m not a dolly, Uncle Shane, I’m a little girl.” She said matter-of-factly, crossing her arms, as Shane muttered 'yeah , yeah', head in the cupboard on the wall, pulling out a pink hair brush and various coloured bows and scrunchies. “And I want my hair like hers.” Jas pointed directly at Ada, head cocked to one side. Shit, she thought, Shane is not gonna be happy. And as she thought, Shane’s head whipped around, shocked look on his face, which quickly turned to annoyed, a soft flush passing over his cheeks. Ada couldn’t help but look though, following the shape of his body, the strong shoulders and soft stomach, the light scruff across his chest, down to the happy trail that lead…

“I’m Jas, what’s your name?” She said curiously, not picking up her uncle’s annoyance.

“Hey kiddo, I’m Ada. I’m here to talk to Aunt Marnie about chickens!” Shane’s blush started to spread further as she spoke, and his scowl deepened.

“You have such pretty hair for a farmer, Miss Ada.” Ada laughed.

“Well, thank you, but I think your hair is prettier. You can’t see it today but my hair is curly like yours, so I can do it for you if you like? Then your Uncle Shane can get ready for work.” She looked at him with questioning eyes, and he looked almost relived for an out.

“Yes please! Is that ok, Uncle Shane?”

“Of course, kid,” he said, giving her arm a quick squeeze, then turning to Ada, “all her stuff is in the cupboard there.” She muttered a thanks as he walked past into a room to her right, which was just met with a grunt. Fuck, he was gorgeous. But she put on her best, little kid face, and walked over to wash her hands.

“Alright, Jas, what style do you want?”

“I would love two ponies please, here and here,” she pointed to the side of her head, just below her ears, “but I want it really really neat, like yours.” She lowered her voice to a whisper. “Uncle Shane does it really lumpy sometimes.” Ada smiled as she giggled again. “Oh, also, I want little bows please!”

“Ok, I think we can make that happen.” The grin on her face was priceless.

After spraying it with lots of water and brushing it gently, it was a lot more manageable. She told Jas about how she should always wet her hair before she brushed it, while she was parting her hair into two sections. Jas had been looking up at her in awe the whole time, asking her a whole host of questions, like what it was like being a farmer, and if her hair was naturally red (which would usually be a weird question, but there were a lot of people with unusual natural hair colours in the valley). As she brushed it back into pigtails, she used a little bit of Shane’s product to keep it neat, leaving some of her shorter baby hairs around her face, which she finger-coiled to make little curls. She scrunched the short ends of her ponytails with a towel while she told her about how she hadn’t know how to look after her hair until she was nearly twenty (which made Jas’ mouth drop open in shock), and promised to get her some products for her hair.

“Ok, kiddo, time for the bows. What colour do you fancy?”

“Hmmmm..” she said, looking around for inspiration, “can I have one blue this side, and one green this side, so I can match with Uncle Shane!” Ada turned around to see Shane watching them, arms crossed, in his work clothes. She blushed.

“Of course you can.” She found the right colours in the cupboard, and tied them around each ponytail. “All done!” Jas was still grinning from ear to ear.

“Uncle Shane!” She exclaimed. “I wanna see in the mirror!” She reached her arms out to him and he sighed in a way that indicated he had accepted that they were going to be late, and joined them in the (relatively small) bathroom. He scooped Jas up easily, almost letting her use his arms as a chair, so she could see herself. Her face lit up even more, if that was even possible. It made Ada smile.

“Woah,” she whispered, “Miss Ada, you are so good at hair. I look so pretty - like you!”

“Oh you look a lot prettier than me, sweetheart!” As she was saying it, Jas reached over to grab her shoulder, pulling her in a hug with both her arms. “Oh!” Ada exclaimed, blushing as her face was practically shoved into Shane’s shoulder. She looked up at him, making her sorry, this is embarrassing face, but he was laughing softly, lips curled into a smile.

“You should let Miss Ada go now, Jas, we need to get going.”

“Ok!” She said, releasing her and Shane lowered her to the ground. She immediately took off running.

“I’m going to show Aunt Marnie! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

There was a pause when she left, a slight awkwardness hanging in the air. Ada was still smiling as she left though, hearing her show Aunt Marnie, and the enthusiastic reply she got. She started to tidy up the bathroom, gathering the brush and discarded scrunchies that were lying around. She moved towards the cupboard, just as Shane started to move out of the bathroom, muttering something about how he’d better get going, but as they moved past each other, his hands instinctively went to Ada’s waist, guiding her past him. In the past, it had always been something that Ada hated, especially when grimy men in clubs do it to move past you, or that one creep at the office when there was plenty of room. But this was different, domestic. Natural, even. It made her want to push herself back into him and... Nope, she thought to herself, not now, not ever. He’s an asshole, and he’s made it abundantly clear he barely tolerates you. You have a bad taste in men, and catching feelings never, ever goes well. Ever. Get a fucking hold of yourself.

“Thank you.” Shane said meaningfully as he left, “you’ve made her day.”

“Of course, anytime.” She replied, smiling sweetly. Pathetic.

She took a minute in the bathroom to compose herself (and chastise herself again), and then rejoined Marnie and Robin at the table to find a steaming coffee waiting for her.

“You are a genius, Ada, I’ve never seen her so pleased to go to school!” She blushed.

“Oh, it’s no problem really! I promised I’d buy her some products as well…”

“Ooh could we come with you?” Marnie exclaimed, looking back from the pancakes she was cooking. “We’re going into Zuzu City this weekend for a few bits and bobs anyway for the egg festival so if you’re around…?” The egg festival… Yoba that brought back memories.

“I’d love to, if that’s ok?”

“Of course, dear. We’ll head off at 11-ish on Saturday if that works?”

“Perfect.”

They spent the rest of the morning planning the barn and coop, and what would be best and most efficient for Ada. They settled on a design, and how many of each animal she would end up having. And how much it would cost. Which was a lot.

“We’ll do it slowly, one building and one type of animal at a time, over about 6 months.” Robin explained, writing up a plan with figures. That was much more manageable. She breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yeah, that looks good to me!” Ada took down a copy of the prices, the schedule and the amount of materials she would need before heading home.

She had a lot to do. She ended up spending a lot of the day foraging, and using her one upgraded tool - the pickaxe - to collect some of the stone she would need for the buildings’ foundations. And after a long, sleepless night, her morning was pretty similar to the previous afternoon - chores, clearing debris and foraging. She had planned to venture North to the mines, but she hadn’t felt up to it. Anyway, she had agreed to practice with Seb, Sam and Abi tonight.

She had a shower early, and changed into a nice but low effort outfit - straight leg jeans and a black, scoop neck tee. As she was doing her makeup, she realised how nervous she was. Seb had messaged her and told her to bring the music for her songs, but when she collected the sheets, a wave of nauseating nostalgia washed over her. She looked over the notes on each page, scribbled and overlapping, in each of her old friends’ handwriting. She wished she was in a place where remembering the people she used to know didn’t hurt so badly. That was probably why she said yes to Sam’s offer - to create new memories with the songs she wrote. The songs they always changed or added to, the songs they have tainted with shitty memories, the songs that should only belong to her. She wanted to take them back.

She headed to Sam’s at about 3 (at Sebastian’s suggestion, even though she was worried she’d be late) feeling terrified. She’d tried to practice a few of the songs the night before, to remind herself she could sing still and make sure she remembered each of them. She’d enjoyed it - singing had been the joy of her life for a very long time and she wanted that again. Just hopefully with people that cared about her this time.

As she got to the house he had described, she lifted her hand to knock, but the door was swung open by a little boy who nearly ran into her leg, letting out a shocked noise and jumping back. He was very cute - tiny button nose and pink hair, big round eyes looking up at her curiously.

“Hi!” He said.

“Hey kiddo,” she replied, smiling warmly at him, “I’m Ada, what’s your name?”

“Vincent. My friend Jas was talking about you all day yesterday. She was right. You have very pretty hair.” Ada laughed, surprised by his confidence.

“Thank you, although I think your hair is much cooler.” He grinned widely.

“I’m going to go and find some snails. If you’re looking for Sam, his room has a red door.” And before she could say bye, he’d run off towards the square, where the mums of the town had gathered. She made her way inside the immaculately tidy house, closing the front door behind her, and quickly found the red door Vincent had mentioned. She knocked on it.

“It’s Ada.” She called out, and the door opened quickly. Before she even registered who was there, Abigail had thrown her arms around her, squealing with joy.

“Hi to you too,” she said, laughing happily, as Abi pulled away grinning from ear to ear.

“I’m so excited to see you! I can’t believe I’ve missed you the past few weeks!”

“Probably my fault - I’ve barely left my farm to be honest.” Abi grabbed her hand and pulled her into the room, where she said hi to the others. After a quick chat about farming and how she was finding the town, Seb started asking about her music while Sam went to grab some drinks.

“Did you bring your music?” He asked, as Sam came back into the room and handed her a beer. She thanked him, digging the sheets and old CDs out of her bag. They spent the next few hours interpreting the messy writing and listening to the old recordings of her music, and each of them learning the tracks. She had brought both music she'd written just for herself, and for the band, and she spent a while listening to Sam and Abi sing to her old bandmates’ lines, and figure out where their voices were best suited. It sounded really good, and she felt so in her element, like she was gaining a small part of herself back.

“Hey, I have an idea” Sam started, looking slightly mischievous, “why don't we play a set of your stuff tonight, Ada?”

“Oh, I don't know…”

“Yeah!” Abi jumped in, and Sebastian nodded as well.

“We've pretty much got 5 or 6 of these down now, we could test a set quickly here and if it goes well…” Sam was looking at her so expectantly, and she remembered what happened last time she let down that puppy-dog face. Plus, maybe it would be good for her. She wanted to make new memories for her music, and these guys were so enthusiastic. Why not?

“Ok, fine,” they started to celebrate, so she shushed them, “but, only if the practice goes well, ok?” She was met with a chorus of 'ok' and 'thank you', and Sam and Abi jumped up to get everyone another drink. Seb handed her a cigarette.

They sat by the riverbed, smoking in silence as the sun started to fade. It was just before 7, and they were due at the saloon at 8. She felt really nervous, and Seb seemed to pick up on it, squeezing her arm softly.

“You ok?”

“Yeah, just..”

“Fucking terrified?”

“Yeah.” She laughed.

“Honestly? Don't be.”

“Jeez, thanks Seb, really fucking helpful.” He laughed.

“No, look, what I mean is that the only people that will be there will be our families, and people who like you, because as far as I know, that's everyone in town. Also, you're really fucking good, so you have literally nothing to worry about.” She smiled at that, resting her head on his shoulder.

“Thank you.”

When they got back inside, Sam and Abigail were sitting on the floor, scribbling notes on a sheet of paper, and talking excitedly between each other.

“Hey! So we figured out a setlist,” Abby said excitedly, pushing a can of cider into Ada's hand and she sat on the floor with them, and turning the paper towards her to read.

1. Souvenir 2. I don't wanna be funny anymore 3. We're in love 4. Body to flame 5. Not strong enough 6. Pillar of truth

“We figured we'd alternate with ones that are just you, and ones that are all three of us, and also start with Souvenir, because we start that one so it's a good way to get back into it...” They were genuinely so thoughtful it made her smile, and she knew at that point that there was no backing out.

Vent non Ana related

I’ve spent this entire month decorating, planning, and preparing for our first real Christmas as a family and my in laws invited my BIL. Who I use to think was a great friend.

He’s actually an asshole. His core he’s a good person but he doesn’t think of others at all. We were super close when he was fat. Then he lost a bunch of weight (proud of him) but he just changed. He doesn’t check in on a single one of us. His dad is literally going for open heart surgery in a month and he wants him to take him and his gf hiking in a huge national park because he’s too scared to drive up there in the snow. Although we live close to it my FIL will either have to hike around with them or sit in the car alone for hours…fun.

They moved in with us for a little bit last year, completely trashed the living room we had no where to sit. It was just treadmills. Then when they moved out he left it that way. Knowing I’d have to clean it because I take care of the house and I cleaned his bedroom when he left the first time. Idk if he just doesn’t think of things like that? He’s literally in his 30s. I would think he’d be more considerate. (We live with my in laws btw)

Now he’s coming here for Christmas because he doesn’t want to be alone while his gf is with her fam. Which I get but he doesn’t contribute anything at all to anything. We had so much planned and I was going to cook so much because I enjoy it but I will not cook for him. He’s so ungrateful. So to not make things awkward I’m just not cooking. I’m not even being sarcastic when I say this but I’d have more interaction with a fake plant that’s how little he contributes to just life, with us at least.

We had a convo with my in laws telling them how we felt and that we just don’t want to be around him. We told them that if they invite him that’s totally fine and we will leave for the holiday. They said they understood and would reach out to plan for him to come around new years instead of Christmas. I’ve been telling my MIL to call him for the last 2 weeks. She finally did tonight and came and told us the news that he’s coming. After I’ve literally planned everything for just the 5 of us because she told me he was for sure not coming.

I just hate that she waited until last minute when we could’ve known this weeks ago and I wouldn’t have gone so hardcore in all my planning. It feels like she waited so it was like “too late it has to happen”. So tonight I moved all the decorations I put up in the living room into our room. I know it sounds petty but I (alone) put so much work into it and planned so much just for it to go to shit idc.

I’m usually down for being fake nice with distant family but I don’t even talk to my own mother anymore for not giving my little family the same effort we gave her. I’m sure as hell not gonna do that with a brother in law.

This is long and probably makes me sound horrible. I do feel bad about it. I hope he succeeds in every single thing he does but I don’t want to be apart of any of it. He was what I considered to be one of my best friends. We went through an insane amount of shit together. My alcoholism, some seizures (I’m epileptic fun fact), a huge move back into the in laws place. He was just nice to have around and the three of us did so much together. So to watch him use my partner for money to get back into college and then just dip and never ask us how we are after starting our own family hurt. My partner and I have the same birthday so it’s not easy to forget lol and we heard from everyone except him. When it was his birthday we reached out. When he graduated college we congratulated him. He never wrote back. We had our daughter and didn’t hear a thing from him. We heard from everyone in the family. I even heard from his gf. I had only met her once before! So I’m just a little annoyed and I feel like I wasted a lot of time. Okay that’s it. If you made it this far you’re an mvp. Goodnight! 💜

Thank god Saoirse isn’t online because if she saw the tradwife content she would probably become one 😭

I actually really doubt that because again I relate to her a lot in her current situation lol. I mean obviously she was historically a lot more accomplished than Jack but my partner and I have a bigger age gap than them and tbh when he was in his 20s he was less accomplished than I was in my 20s so if we’d met then it would’ve been the same as with them (without either of us being worth 7 figures but still). He studied film and communications and then worked as a cameraman but he hated it and then he worked as a production assistant which he hated because he had to listen to idiots and then worked his way up to produce commercials for a while and haaated that and then because he’d always been into tech and shit, he got into editing actually while producing like he started fiddling with what people were doing and has done that since and went on to bigger projects and is legit great at it but he started in his 30s with no real formal training lol. He also loves it and works a looooot.

Whereas I’ve just done random shit lol but a lot of random shit and often very well paying random shit until I got with him and now I do like… enough stuff to hold up my end of what we have agreed on when that’s been agreed upon.

I’d love to write a book but I’m soooo lazy lol.

I don’t want to be a trad wife though and I’ve been extremely annoyed when people/friends have suggested I’m anywhere close to that lol because like I legit am not and that’s not our vibe. He just likes his job more than I like working and in our case he’s older so ergo has more money than me in savings + he’s a Western white guy so had inheritances come in so 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ doesn’t mean I don’t hold up my end of the bargain or don’t want to work or that he pays me an allowance to exist or anything lol. Like we split chores pretty evenly depending on who’s working more (he does have breaks between projects and I sometimes have like projects that are FT so then he has to do more around the house because I’m physically not there and that’s cool with us both right because it all evens out) and we both always contribute financially. But also yes he obviously pays more monthly than I do.

and fwiw when Jack and Saoirse started just realistically she would’ve had to pay more so 💀😂

If anything like Jack is what I wish my ex was like - I wish she’d discovered a passion for work and making money while we were together so I could do EXACTLY WHAT I DO NOW lol but she didn’t until we’d broken up 🙄

also I probably should write a book.

but neither Sersh nor I are tradwives 😂

if anything Taylor might one day try to cosplay as one but she’d fail harder than Sersh or I would after a single week because of her personality.
