ripped straight from the dms with @femalefemur (thank u cyn my beloved)
best friend!johnny mactavish x gender neutral!reader thoughts below...
tw: alcohol mention, pining like whoa, little bit of jealousy, johnny being a possessive little shit, allusions to off-screen sex, fluff, "bonnie" used as a pet name.
unedited and written straight into the drafts for a rush of adrenaline. intended to be gender neutral reader but i may have slipped up somewhere!
word count: 777 words
Tumblr media
just thinking about how you and johnny are practically attached at the hip.
he's constantly over your place for takeaways and bad telly or he's dragging you out to clamber up some hill or through a national trust park "for the fresh air, bonnie!"
johnny sends you endless voice notes talking about his day, about the mischief he's gotten up to with kyle or how simon had run him ragged at the gym. in return you send him silly memes or links to tiktok trends and your own rambling voice notes complaining about how your favourite contestant had been eliminated from the silly reality show you'd been watching.
your camera roll is filled with shirtless sweaty gym pics from where they'd saved automatically from your messages. his camera roll is full of answering photos of you half awake and mugging for the camera from the comfort of your bed, your hair a mess and pillow creases on your face.
just thinking about how both of you are super tactile with each other. you mindlessly play with his hair when you're sat next to him at the pub, squished up on one side of the booth opposite simon and kyle. johnny slings his arm around your shoulders and watches the way you gesticulate as you bicker with simon. (neither of you notice kyle's glances between the two of you or catch the sneaky fist bump with simon as a wager is placed when you and johhny come back from the bar with a fresh round for everyone)
just thinking about how your stomach sinks a little bit and how your smile feels brittle every time johnny tells you he's met someone. it's a little bit harder than normal to enjoy johnny's presence when you have to share it with the woman he's seeing but you try anyway. you try not to be "that friend", you try to keep the anecdotes about past nights out or silly stories that only you and johnny know to a minimum. you pull away a little bit from all the usual casual touches you'd normally lean into, aware that her eyes are on you. and you don't want to ruin your friend's happiness with someone else, you really don't, even when you feel your lips twitch with a tiny involuntary frown when he kisses her in front of you.
i'm just thinking about how the people johnny date don't seem to stick around for long after they've met you. you ask him about it once when you're slumped together on your sofa, something lighthearted and daft playing on tv in the background. johnny just shrugs and says something about how they wanted different things (because there's no way he's telling you that his latest ex screamed in his face about how it was so fucking obvious that he was in love with you, even as he denied it and said that you were just good friends).
i'm thinking about what would happen if you started to see someone casually and johnny asks to meet them. how unlike you when you meet his dates, he seems to dial up the friendly touches. he dominates the conversation with stories that always end with "remember that, bonnie?" and a wicked grin. he even pulls up a video of him hitting a new personal record for his hip thrusts at the gym and mean mugs the shit out of your date as you watch the video and praise him for his hard work.
i'm thinking about how you'd pop to the bathroom at some point and by the time you come back your date is gone and johnny's shrugging it off like its no big deal. and yeah, you're a little bit disappointed but johnny comes back to your place with you and settles onto the sofa like he belongs there, leaning up against your side all solid and dependable and quintessentially johnny.
(and in the morning when you check your messages you're not surprised that your date has called it off with you, but you can't bring yourself to care as a thick forearm snakes around your waist and pulls you back against a warm naked body. the gravelly voice of your best friend johnny rumbling in your ear and peppering kisses down your neck...)
(the next time you and johnny meet up with simon and kyle for drinks at the pub, you walk in together hand in hand. simon silently holds out an open palm to kyle as kyle rifles through his wallet and complains that if you had just waited one more week he would've won the bet. bloody selfish of the pair of you.)

people like your domestic dabi headcanons because they're the goddamn best, and I hope you feel better about your exam :( but I don't think I've slid something horny in your inbox in a minute, idk how to make people feel better so maybe a distraction will help????💕
Dabi sees you at your desk on a phone call, and at first you think he's being sweet, coming up behind you, wrapping his arms around you, and giving you a kiss on the top of the head.
That is, until he starts leaving kisses on your neck, and his hands start moving towards your chest. kisses make way to hickeys and he's groping you under your shirt, pinching at your nipples. All the while you're just chatting away on the phone trying to pretend you don't want to gasp. Honestly, you may be doing it on purpose, you DO love when he gets riled up. ..
And it's working, he raises an eyebrow at you and circles your chair. You can see the moment he gets an idea as his eyes light up, putting a finger to his lips and saying "shh" with a smile somewhere on the border of cheeky and devilish.
Since it's just you two at home, half the time neither of you can be bothered to wear pants and that's very clearly working in his favor right now. He kneels in front of your chair, making eye contact with you and starts to run two fingers over your clothed slit, just gently tracing. He has to suppress a groan as he realizes how damp your underwear is getting just from something this simple.
He pushes your underwear to the side, practically salivating at the sight. He gives you no warning as he starts eating you out like a man starved, relentless on your clit. Eventually he adds his fingers and curls them just right to the point he knows you're seeing stars. Soon you do let out a moan..and another.. and another, and he has the most smug look on his face, he doesn't stop until you've come twice back to back and you're shaking, pushing his head away because it's too much.
He looks so proud of himself, you don't know if you have the heart to tell him.....
The phone call ended only a minute or two after he arrived.......
He was so distracted by the task at hand, staring at the beautiful expressions you make, and the delicious way your back arches off the chair, that he never realized you stopped talking.
oh he is so getting you back for this later. But you like when he gets riled up, don't you?
-🎃💖
listen...
LiStEn–
LISTEN—
all this has really no business at all being SO. DAMN. HOT.
and look... LOOK—

dabi x fem!reader
Tumblr media
the way dabi would be super disappointed, literally pouting, when you tell him that the call had ended right after he came. boy really wanted to put on a show for whoever was on the other side of the device, not caring one bit if they realized you were getting magnificently ate up by your boyfriend, he would actually take pride on it.
but then a little lamp lights up inside his brain: you had played him with that.
how dare you play him with that and then act like it wasn’t a big deal? ohh he was going to get back at you so bad, dabi was going to make you cry.
“since you think mocking me it’s funny, i’ll show you something hilarious.”, the villain threatened with darkened face, eyes filled to the brim with such lust, hunger and dominance that it made you let out a nervous giggle as he got closer to the bed where you were sitting on.
after that warning he has been, first of all, fingering you for good until you weren’t completely drenched, almost making you reach your orgasm but ack–! that’s exactly when he stopped his ministration, leaving you a panting mess.
dabi then started to thrust hard into you, grabbing onto the headboard to push his dick deeper into your sopping pussy, husky groans leaving his mouth past his gritted teethes as your loud moans kept riling him up. when he noticed your walls clenching around his shaft, the raven haired boy stopped his thrusts and slid his cock out of your wetness.
the moment you gave him a confused look, he grinned widely “bad girls don’t get their reward so easily, princess.”, he rested an hand on your hip positioning you on your side before laying behind you, dabi then grabbed your upper leg with one hand lifting it up to stretch your pussy out and without a warning at all he thrust balls deep into you, a choked out moan leaving your throat from that sensation you yearned for coming back, he let out a restrained moan that came into the sound of an hum “god– hmpf! are you listening to yourself? letting out such cute lewd meowls for me– argh! i’m so fucking honored...”, he’s so annoying really, but damn was he doing you so good; the vigorous and lavish drags of his dick long your velvety walls were just so fantastic it made tears build up to your eyeline.
when he angled his hips lower and bucked them up against your ass, the tip of his dick hit right there a spot inside your pussy that completely knocked the air out of your lungs for a few seconds “a-ahh! dabi! ri-right there!”, oh god! yes! that was it! your orgasm has started to building up once more! it was near! so damn close! you were starting to get dizzy from the sensation that was running all over your body, but just when you were about to cream all over his cock, dabi pulled out making you whine loudly and childishly in complaint.
this was the second time he denied you an orgasm! he was seriously being too much right now!
“what is it my precious? are you perhaps feeling... wronged?”, the villain questioned acting like he didn’t know why you just whined, a lifted eyebrow and shit-eating grin on his lips that pissed you off even more. snorting he rolled on his back giving you a cocky stare “if that’s the case, then why don’t you come and get what’s yours?”, at that clear challenge you felt peeved by the tone with which he said it, resting your eyes on his erected dick though you completely melted and nearly drooled at the sight of your juices coating it so beautifully, pussy clenching around nothing as you crawled to him and threw a leg over his waist, straddling him.
“stop mocking me...”, you blurted pouting with deeply frowned eyebrows resting your hands over his abs, hips lifted, ready to lower yourself on his manhood and finally reach your precious climax. dabi smirked wolfishly as he rested his palms on your waist, holding tight onto it “serves you right... baby!”, he growled at the end before slamming his whole shaft inside of you so hard that you tumbled forward, falling onto his chest with a loud moan as he thrusted at relentless pace inside of you while his face was now buried on your neck, dabi’s hot breath fanning it before he licks it, leaves a brief kiss and then starts sucking onto the skin harshly.
you nearly choked on your spit when he added to all of it a spank that made your ass cheek burn, then suddenly— the ringtone of your phone went off from the bedside table where it was resting on.
he turned to it with a pissed expression, while you stared in its direction not actually seeing whatever your hazy eyes were looking at, too focused on the tip of your boyfriend’s dick hitting repeatedly your cervix and busy letting slurred moans run past your gaping mouth, tongue slightly lolling out from all the overwhelming pleasure.
the raven haired boy then had a brilliant idea that made a brief laugh come out of the back of his throat, a thrilled smirk curling up his lips as he grabbed your phone never stopping thrusting into you.
that made you snap out immediately from the limbo you were in, until now, and look at him alarmed “no–! wait! ahhn! dabi don’t–! it’s my b-oh-ss!”, shit, he was smirking full teethes now, that wasn’t a good sign, at all.
“if you answer him without moaning through out the whole call, i’ll let you orgasm.”, dabi instructed pressing his thumb onto the accepting call button, intensifying his gaze on you as he continued “on the contrary, if you let out even just a little tiny moan, i’ll edge you all night sweetie.”, he cackled at your horrified expression as his hips gave a particular sharp thrust that made you restrain a moan, scrunched up pained face as the pleasure was about to make you let out a sob “three, two, one– go.”, at that you widened your eyes, cursing through your teethes as he accepted the call giving the device to you.
“h-hello? yes– i’m free right now...”, at your answer dabi snorted, getting a glare and silent scowl from you that faded away immediately as he slowed his pace, dragging slowly his dick long your walls in smooth waves, making your brain all mushy “i put that document– in the main folder... i’m sure of it yeah...”, you kept answering panting silently while leaning closer to dabi’s face, heart-shaped eyes completely dazed as they looked back into his turquoise lusty ones, your hips moving to meet his thrust making his breath hitch inside his throat “yes– that one...”, the villain sticked out his tongue licking your upper lip squeezing one of your butt cheeks while his other hand slid to the small of your back, feverish gaze glued to yours “yes... i copied it in the usb too...”, you kept answering, but his slow thrusts were so not enough for your sexual appetite right now that in that moment you just couldn’t control your face anymore; you looked straight into dabi’s eyes pleading him with yours, eyebrows trembling from how needy you were, while biting down on your bottom lip.
then your walls clenching around him like a vice, made the boy’s last nerve snap and in a metter of second “wooah?!” “y/n? everything good there?”, dabi flipped you over, your back pressed against the mattress while your hand’s grip loosened around the phone, his index right away going on the red button “that’ll be all boss-san~”, beep, the call was done and your legs were now over his shoulders as he started to pound roughly into you groaning, your moans finally filling up the room once again, even louder than before.
his half-lidded eyes looked down your way, so beautifully spread under him as you whimper and moan his name, completely drunk on his cock.
god he adores that lovestruck look inside your eyes so fucking much.
“good girl, i’m gonna reward you all night.”
and so he did.

Hiya! I hope you don’t mind me dropping in! I was wondering what your Ramshackle duo would think of Ellis!
side note, Yuusha and Ellis both interacting at the glimmering soirée could be fun as well!

ANYWAYS -
first of all actually i really love the princess-y vibes ellis has!! (which should be obvious bc she's based on aurora and belle) and reading about her she just sounds so really sweet and her design is pretty 🥺💖💕
also!! i love her eng va being cherami leigh bc i knew about her first through lucy fairy tail and i have a soft spot for that anime due to it being one of my first ones.
Tumblr media
yuuna's thoughts ━━━━━━✦
Tumblr media
besties! full stop. yuuna loves people who share their love for sweets.
and i believe they'd get along with her due to ellis' positive personality (and the fact that she's willing to drop that optimism to fight someone who deserves it).
also fave color being pink 🤝
Tumblr media
yuusha's thoughts ━━━━━━✦
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ellis being a romantic at heart??? probably a theater kid??? yuusha would get along with her so well. (ellis is just like me fr)
yuusha would also relate knowing about dancing/singing (although yuusha cant sing to save her life)
and i couldn't resist drawing them dancing in the glimmering soiree event i think they'd have fun :3

You totally do not need to answer but I was wondering who the transphobic employee of 911 is? I'm just a little out of the loop and would like to know who, but again please don't answer if you aren't comfortable. I love your blog!!
Not to worry. I am prepared for such a question.
Edy Ganem is a biphobic homophobic transphobe.

So I was thinking about Makino and the ASL brothers, as one does, and please imagine the following: Makino brings clothes for the boys. They each chose their own. She comes back some days later and Sabo and Ace are fighting over whose shirt it is and these pants are mine and I'm the oldest if I say it's mine then it is and your typical siblings fight. Makino thinks they're very cute and also the situation is funny but to stop the argument she simply starts writing their name on the tags of their clothes — littles Ace and Sabo (and Luffy so he wouldn't feel excluded).
They all keep the habit afterwards ❤️
Alternatively, I was thinking about it because the Revolutionary Army got Sabo's name thanks to it being written on the tag of his clothes, and was wondering why it was here.
You're welcome ❤️
OOOOOH LOVE TO OPEN MY ASK BOX TO MESSAGES LIKE THIS Σ٩(๑º ꇴ º๑)۶🩷
Tumblr media
This headcanon is soooo cute!!! She definitely would have done that for them 🥹🫶
Yet that wouldn't have stopped either of them to try and steal the other's clothes because they 'seemed nicer'................... 👁👁
Luffy in particular would try and borrow his brothers' shirts and then pretend he can't read when he gets caught ( ˊᵕˋ; ) which..... Well....... Considering Luffy's lack of education at the time........ May have made Makino reconsider also giving them reading/writing classes for a while.......................
Now it would be so cute if the ASL brothers did keep the habit going, and had their crew embroider their clothes with their name for them 🥺🥺❤

second and final submission: shai + lu dort, 18 + 60!
I had a lot of fun with this one!! Hope you like the circus au + poorly timed confession with Shai + Lu!! 😎💕
Shai was so used to practicing alongside Lu that he was sure he could do it with his eyes closed. Lu was his magician, his perfect partner for their chosen circus act, and it was the truth that no other circus performer in the Thunder circus could ever replace him.
“Ready!” Lu said, once he’d finished putting up the safety net. “I’ll create the scene.”
Shai climbed up the ladder slowly, taking care lest Lu started fussing over him. Secretly, deep down, he was glad that Lu cared about him that much. He didn’t want to let him down. He worked so hard to make their act come alive. Shai sometimes joked that it was Lu who did all the hard work, while Shai looked good walking on the tightrope, but Lu always side eyed him for that.
When he got to the top, Lu motioned with his hands and spread his magic across the safety net, creating a projection of Oklahoma’s rooftops and skyline at night. It really was impressive, Shai thought, admiring Lu’s magical abilities all over again. He glanced at the magician, hard at work, and admired his stocky frame, his strong biceps, his wide eyes that were staring back—
He jolted, remembering that he had a job to do. A hot flush crept up his neck. He hurriedly put one foot on the rope, and before carefully placing another one, before walking it with confidence, sliding his eyes shut just for the heck of it.
“Don’t close your eyes!” Lu called from below. 
“The safety net will catch me if I fall. Or you would. I know you would.”
“I might not be able to. What if I can’t?”
He knew Lu didn’t mean to doubt him, but he usually did whenever Shai returned his affections. He’d caught wind from the other Thunder circus performers that what Lu felt for him might be more than friends, and Shai had been relieved to hear it…except everyone had warned him that getting Lu to confess might be like taking blood from a stone.
“I trust you. I’d always catch you, Lu, just like you’d always catch my fall.”
“Even if I fell in love with you?” Lu asked, his voice mostly monotone, a little hesitant.
Shai’s foot slipped. 
He was in the midst of taking a step when Lu had confessed. His body lurched to the side, and Lu gave a great shout, but Shai was already letting himself fall. He fell right through the magical projection, before hitting the safety net a moment later. His head was still turning at Lu’s sudden confession. He’d be damned. He hadn’t seen that coming. In fact, if he’d told the other performers…he didn’t think they’d believe him!
Lu grabbed the edge of the safety net.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know what I was saying!” Lu said, his French accent intertwining through his worried words. “Are you okay?”
“Don’t be stupid,” Shai huffed, trying to sit up. “You knucklehead, I’m in love with you too!”
“You’re in love with me?” he stammered out. “When? How?”
“Come on, Lu,” he said, rolling his eyes. “You were the only one who didn’t notice. The whole circus knows I’m in love with you. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get you to confess for weeks!”
“For weeks?” Lu said weakly, as Shai got down from the safety net.
“My magician,” Shai told him affectionately, lifting Lu’s chin up with his slender fingers. “I know you’re in love with me. So am I. You can relax. It was just a small tumble from the rope. No big deal.”
Lu stared at him with large brown eyes, worry still swimming in his gaze. He gently pulled on one of his locks, letting out a laugh when he silently blushed.
“Wanna try again?” Shai asked, pointing at the rope with a big grin. “We still gotta practice.”
Lu blinked, then looked panicked. “Jalen and Chet wanted to use this tent in half an hour, we don’t have much—”
“Quit worrying,” he said, then grinned at him. “My magician.”
“Shai,” Lu protested, a deep flush taking over his face. “We’ll talk about…that later. After we finish.”
“Alright,” Shai said, then winked at him. “But after that, you��re my magician for life.”
If he could have framed Lu’s blushing face right then and there, he would have. But first — they had practice, and then they were going practice being together, for real this time.

Uhm 7, 2 and 3!!
hi hello again!!! <3333
It’s super late but I promised myself that I’d answer this ask tonight and also I wanna. Not think about that stupid poll. so ask time!!!!!
2. A headcanon you weren’t sure about at first, but have come to like:
Tugger and Skimble’s friendship!! At first I was like. Are you guys sure? They didn’t hang out at all :(
But!!! Thanks to everyone’s propaganda, I saw the light. Skimble and Tugger have such bestie potential, they’re so funny together. The master of order vs the agent of chaos. They’re friends <3
3. A character that fandom had helped you appreciate:
Again, Skimbleshanks. I was neutral on him, (still loved him lots, just not that passionate).
This is mostly because all I knew is that he was silly and he did rly well in the 2019 movie, (and my dad’s infamous skimble hatred. Truly what is his problem). But!!! Thanks mostly in part to @mysticalcats’s propaganda (ily lots bestie) I grew to truly appreciate our favorite train cat. He truly is the cat of the railway train.
7. Your favorite tropes to read/write/draw
I have a ton!!!! For reading, I really appreciate the ✨dramatics✨. Huge fan of Macavity and Misto fics, a lot of really interesting concepts there that I love a lot. Also seeing the backstory of some of the kittens (Skimble finding Misto and Vicci fic ILYYYY 🫶).
Writing is tough because it’s kind of an on and off thing. Writing Jemima’s perspective is really fun, and so is writing dialogue and humor for the cats. I especially liked writing a scene that included Bombalurina and Demeter together, they’re so sweet.
None of it’s really that good, but it’s self indulgent in a rly specific way and it’s nice to play around with.
DRAWING IS THE BEST EVER 🫶🫶🫶 I like doing pintrest poses with different cats, cat oc art is my favorite in the world, I loved that one era where I just. Collected random OCs and painted them.
One of my favorite works is the Bluebelle and Bluebeard painting I did, I love angst art SO fucking much, and I wish I did/saw more of it 💔
(PSA to cats OC artists. Make more art forever. For me 💕)

Hi B! How about Before the Beginning for the ask game? ^^
BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project thank you, Linky 🥺💕 let me see what i can cook up. it's what happens before my "i don't know who you are, but i feel like i can trust you" wip c: (svsss, qijiu). Shen Qingqiu is reminded of a traumatic past event and loses his memories in his sleep 😌
Late into the night, there's a fire in the disciples' dormitories on Qing Jing Peak.
It's not a big fire, not by any means, but the dark, tear-wrenching smoke it creates as it catches on an abandoned blanket or another piece of fabric alarms Shen Qingqiu right out of his bamboo house. No disciple has ever seen their shifu move in such hurry, with seemingly no regard for his outermost layer missing - he must have been preparing for bed.
It's gone by the time he runs inside, paler than ever, taking in the state of the rooms.
"Shizun," Ming Fan mumbles and immediately drops in a bow. "Shizun, there was an accident, but it's all under control!"
Nobody's hurt. Nobody's unconscious. Except for Ming Fan, all the other boys are outside, still blinking sleep out of their eyes. Ning Yingying should be alright, too—the rooms the female disciples are staying in are on the other side of the peak.
"Who."
"Shizun...?"
Shen Qingqiu hates repeating himself. "Who started it?"
Ming Fan stays silent.
"In the morning," Shen Qingqiu says in a forcefully even voice, "all male disciples will kneel before the learning hall. If nobody confesses, all will face punishment."
He doesn't stay to watch the boy fumbling.
Sleep never comes easy, but it knocks him off that night—and it knocks something else out of place, too.
