A bad bitch's guide to practical fashion
Hello! Just some realistic tips and tricks I've learned through living life to help me with some of my conditions while still slaying. Things I deal with that you may be able to relate to-
Anxiety, Adhd, Sensory Issues, Heavyset, Lite Eczema, Acne
Keep a spare change of clothes in your car/bag
Sometimes, I want to wear an outfit that's outside of my comfort zone. Maybe it's wearing something that shows off my curves more, or a fabric that I can barely tolerate. And I push myself out of my comfort zone to try something new! But sometimes I realize halfway through the day that if I don't change right this second, I will have a panic attack and die. Keeping a pair of SAFE clothes in your car/bag is always a good idea! I have sweats, a sweatshirt, and shorts in my car at all times. Also great if you are chaffing/having a bad skin day and need to change unexpectedly.
Buy clothes that fit you
I have this problem of always trying on things and thinking hmmm... maybe it'll fit in a year, once I start working out, loose some weight... NO! Clothes fit you, you aren't supposed to fit clothes! If you do loose some weight, then you get to go shopping again :) and buy more clothes. But you are shopping for present you right now, your beautiful, amazing, fashionable self.
Cut your tags/clothes up
I was told by my parents to not cut my tags, and I was always afraid to. But I'm telling you, you bought those clothes, these are yours, do whatever you want with what you own. Cut the tag if it'll make you feel better. If the arms are too tight cut a slit. On the same note, if you want to tie something shorter with a hair-tie, fucking do it! If it's not short enough crop it. I promise the clothes police won't come after you.
don't put up with terrible fabrics
Don't buy something if you know wearing it is going to be a chore b/c of the sensation. Also, here are some tips for some fabrics
leggings under jeans if you can tolerate leggings > jeans
fishnets under jeans w/ holes if fishnets > jeans
colorful sweatpants (neon green, orange, red, ect.) as a comfy fashion statement
a nice turtleneck under a t-shirt if turtleneck > shirt
long socks (men's section rocks) to avoid blisters on ankles
don't put up with terrible jewelry
I personally love jewelry, but can only keep some things on for so long.
try gloves instead of rings. you can make gloves out of fishnets/tights
try woven/braided bracelets that are not removable w/o scissors > metal clunky bracelets (anklets too)
try skin markers/henna > annoying hand jewelry
If you are trying to branch out but are self-conscious, try to find a safety jacket
just a jacket that you can slip on and off, something light, that you can zip up if you get self-conscious and will make you feel better, but something you can carry/tie around your waist if you are feeling yourself.
My makeup if I'm having bad acne/can't handle the feeling
Concealer- over redness
Body stick/blush- on eyes and cheeks, and nose
Vaseline/Chapstick on lips, can put Vaseline on eyelids for shine (can clog pores be careful)
Mascara
Takes like 15 minutes also if ur in a rush!
For my fellas with boobas who hate bras
here are alternatives!
Trans tape- havn't tried but have heard good things
Breast petals- personally they are expensive, so I mostly use bandaids. Always a toss up if you are going to rip up the nip. NOT FUN! DO NOT RECCOMEND! Only do so if you don't care about having scabs on the girls. Or are poor, like me, and have to use bandaids.
Just don't wear a bra. I mostly go for this option, I feel so free. Very gender affirming, love a bad-bitch who doesn't wear a bra. I save so much money. You have no idea. SO MUCH MONEY. I also love never feeling the pain of a bra, the idea of putting one on is so foreign to me now. I never realized how much pain I was in b4.
This is my advice for now, hope it helps! If you have anything to share pls feel free to! <3

Baraka NSFW Alphabet
age in bio when interacting. minors do not interact.
Word Count: 666 / Read it on AO3 | Offline Version
Tumblr media
A: Aftercare - What they're like after sex?
- This being his second time, he's not quite sure what to do. You'll have to tell him. He'll either be up for another round or sleep.
B: Body Part - Their favorite part of themselves/you?
- His arms or his cock. It's the least terrifying thing about him. Also, he's pretty big, and in Outworld, the bigger the better. For you, it would be your legs.
C: Cum - Taste, texture, etc?
- Salty and an almost grey color
D: Dirty Secret
- His sense of smell is great. He'll know when you're turned on and he loves that smell. From time to time, he may tell you that you smell great.
E: Experience - How much experience do they have?
- He slept with Mileena before, it wasn't a very enjoyable experience.
F: Favorite Position
- Doggy style. That way, you don't have to see his terrifying face. He will, however, do other positions if you're 100% sure and okay with it.
G: Goofy - How are they: serious, funny, etc?
- He doesn't know many jokes and probably wouldn't understand some of them. However, he's not serious.
H: Hair - shaved, not shaved, color?
- Unshaved, it's the only hair he has. He has no desire to trim it either. Black.
I: Intimacy - How are they romantically?
- Mileena's a very demanding individual, he wouldn't want to treat you and her the same. Not very romantic, as he isn't sure what to do.
J: Jack Off - How often do they masturbate?
- Whenever he feels the need. Every couple of months.
K: Kink - Their kinks?
- Breeding, that's about it since he is limited because of his teeth and he doesn't know very many others.
L: Location - Favorite place(s) to do it?
- The bedroom. He doesn't really want to do it elsewhere, especially where people may see it. However, he wouldn't be opposed to showing everyone who you belong to.
M: Motivation - What gets them into it?
- You being turned on, lingerie, and seeing you naked.
N: No - Will not do/turns them off?
- Anything that causes pain or death or involves another person.
O: Oral - Giving, receiving, skill?
- Loves giving. He does have a long tongue, so it wouldn't be a problem. If you're scared, his teeth may cut you, he's fine with receiving.
P: Pace - Fast, rough, slow, etc?
- Hard and slow, unless he's angry at something, not at you.
Q: Quickie - How often?
- Whenever you want.
R: Risk - Willing to take risks/experiment?
- It depends on what it is. He would like to discuss things before trying anything.
S: Stamina - How long/many rounds can they go?
- 4-5 for about 40 minutes.
T: Toys - Do they have any/will they use them?
- No, he's never heard about them. You can't convince him to try them. He doesn't like them, they're annoying, and he can pleasure you far better than they can.
U: Unfair - How much do they tease?
- Not a lot, he's too busy trying to not cum inside you after just getting inside of you.
V: Volume - How loud are they?
- Not very loud, but will growl and say your name. He, unfortunately, cannot moan, so he growls instead. There is a difference between his anger growls and his pleasure growls.
W: Wild Card - Something random?
- Wouldn't mind kids. Him cumming inside of you multiple times is more of a way to show people who you belong to. Although no one can see and no one may know, the other Tarkatans will, due to their sense of smell. If you don't want kids, he'll break up eventually, as he does want at least one.
X: X-Ray - Size, appearance, etc?
- 9½, slightly paler than him, darker towards the tip. Some noticeable veins, uncut.
Y: Yearning - How high is their sex drive?
- Pretty high, but has a lot of self-control. He will be in the mood when you are.
Z: ZZZ - How quickly do they fall asleep?
- As soon as you do, unless you're taking too long.

—————
NEVERMORE—THE SCHOOL FULL OF OUTCASTS IN A TOWN WHO DOESNT EVEN LIKE THEM.., but whose to tell them to leave if they’re getting the most money for the town, right?
The news of a new student coming spread like a germ, quickly as possible,, apparently she was going to be with you and your roommate ENID SINCLAIR, new roommate.
Such fun right?
You were pretty much a ‘cool-kid’ friends with Bianca, Divina, Kent, Xavier and Ajax.
But nun of them were better then Rowan, your bestfriend,, you’ve been close sense be came to the school, he was shy and begging everyone for help but, due to the school full of out-cases nobody was really willing beside you, yourself.
You would call yourself “Queen B.” like Bianca does, that was pretty lame to you, it was over hype, you’d be the girl in her shadows the one who isn’t very noticeable.. a side character that was only shown in quick little snips of the film.
But you did gain all of the popularity as you and Rowan joined into the secret club, but that lasted for about a couple of week.. stop lying.
That lasted only about a week,, they wanted to kick Rowan out for a dumb reason which completely pissed you off, you ended up with hatred for all of them as you called them all, “stingy little assholes, who always has a problem with every little thing.”
But that paparazzi followed rumors were out that you stood up to Bianca and everyone just started coming up to you and speaking to you, congratulating you, smiling at you, and everything out of the box of normal at Nevermore.
It was scary to you, but from the ending of the club for you and Rowan wasn’t all that you’d receive.. your flashbacks, and visions was starting,, due to you being a hybrid your parents told you they’d come at some point in the school years, you never believed them tho.
Not until now,
——
Well, today was a new day—a day where you won’t be as popular because there was a new student coming to school.
You’d woken up supper early to go with Rowan to the hidden club room,, quickly and quietly.
You had on your school uniform and to Rowan’s dorm knocking for him to answer.. which was a mistake, “Y/N Montgomery, how have you been?” Xavier asked asks you at the door as you just push him out the way and looked inside.
“Where is Rowan?” You turned right back at Xavier.
“I thought you came here for me.. I’m heart broken.” He started, as you watching him with a death stare, “If you didn’t anything to him, I’ll bite off all of your fingers, we gonna see whose gonna be dreaming now.”
He laughs as you leave the room slamming after, you knew the curfew was still on due to the time, but didn’t care you ran out of the building only to turn back inside after seeing something that looked hungry.. you felt your inner-hybrid energy coming in as you speed pass the mystery animal and wrapped your whiteish y/h/c locs into a messy-bun and took a bite into a rabbit ripping its head apart.
——
You’d went to all of your classes early today,, and to honor the new student classes was ending quite faster then it normal does.
You were walking with Rowan in the quad in silence, you wanted to speak so badly but you feared that the wrong things were going to come out of your mouth, and he was going to be mad.
You looked at Rowan and let out a nervous breath you didn’t know you had until now, “So, Ro, I came to your dorm to come and get you last night but, you weren’t there at all.”
He just stood quiet, walking a little faster, “Look there’s the new girl.” he said pointing.
He’d pulled your arms as you heard sum simple words from Enid, “Although he crowns been slipping lately.,, She use to date our resident tortured artist, Xavier Thorpe..,But they broke up at the beginning of the semester… Reason unknown; but I think it’s because she was shown out by Y/N Montgomery,, our other roommate.”
You fell as you felt the grip of Rowan’s hands on yours and fell into someone as your vision was coming in,, your eyes turned WHITE.
—you’d seen Rowan in the hidden library, with this one book.. and a picture,, a drawing in the book of yourself, and a pigtail dark haired girl plus a pilgrim a very old and elderly one—
You opened your eyes to see Ajax Petropolus, holding you up, “Thank you,, but where is Rowan.” Ajax looked defeated.
He was one of the sweetest boys ever, you could never be mean to him, after you told the people in the secret club off, he quietly ran after you to see if you were okay, and if you felt like any of this was his fault.. which you didn’t.
You knew whose fault it was, Bianca’s and Xavier's,, nobody can miss out on that pair.
“Y/N.. I don’t think your okay,”
You continued to look around as you seen Enid walking closer to you, “Cover me please…Please Ajax.” He quickly nodded as it turn to Enid, and started speaking as you tryna to fix yourself.
While he was covering you were looking for Rowan in your smell of blood,, but that wasn’t working.. all you were smelling was sweet blood.. that smells so delicious you thought it was the air.
He’d turn from you and looked Enid dead in the eyes to get all of her attention, “Yo, Enid!, Your not gonna believe the dirt I heard about your new roommate..,She eats human flesh.. Totally chowed down on that kid she murdered,, you better watch your back.” He says all together with a dramatic, scare face
Enid moved to the side exposing the person you knew was standing right there, “Ajax, this is my roommate, Wednesday.. We’re looking for Y/N.. you know, Montgomery.” You revealed yourself, “Y/N Montgomery speaking?”
“This is our new roommate,” Enid started, “Wednesday, Wednesday Addams.”
“Y/N Montgomery.. what a pleasure to meet you,, Well, has a hybrid my duty calls.” You smiled walking away pulling Ajax with you,, as Enid voice sucked in.
“Y/N came from a family of Hybrids and Werewolves.. as a whole,, which is quite cool to me, but sad to her,, she’s the only hybrid here, and always has to choose to sit with the Vampire or the Werewolves.” She went on and on, “I think she doesn’t eat food, she’s hardly even seen in the quad.”
You and Ajax were in the corner next to the statue of the pilgrim was, with Ajax’s back to the wall and you’re in front of him.
He started rolling up his sleeves and exposing his wrist to you, “So, I’m your hybrid slash vampire duty?” He laughed.
You rolled your eyes as the smell had more flavor to it, ”May I.. please?” You whimpered staring into his eyes then at his wrist as the smell of his sweet blood filled up your nose more and more.
He just watched you, both of you staring into each others eyes, as he finally smiled and nodded slowly as both of your eyes never felt each other as you rosed up his wrist to your mouth exposing your sharp fangs and letting him sink into his neck.
Your eyes rolled to the back of your head as you dropped down to your knees handling onto his hip and thigh for support,, trying to stay focus and not show out your submission side.. but his blood was soo good, so delicious so.. just so perfect for you.
You were enjoying it so much you didn’t even realize Xavier behind you guys looking in shocked.. you ignored it as Ajax eyes were still onto you and you looking back up to him with red eyes as you felt his hand brushing your locs and fingers twirling against them.
You’d seen he was slowly turning pale, so you rushed to your feet holding his arm up to your chess as you apologized several time,, “Sorry!—Oh my goodness, I’m sorry—sorry.. Ajax?”
Ajax just smiled and wiped your mouth with his thump, as you watched him closely and pulled out your tongue and let him place his thump onto it and started to suck it clean.
“Ajax.. Y/N??” Xavier called out at her seemed to be walking closer, you quickly released his thump from your mouth with a small ‘pop’ and dusted your uniform off before helping Ajax fix his pants and sleeves as you pulled his beanie down hiding his snakes who were trying to peek out at you, “Xavier, my dude!”
You groaned and smiled at Ajax before starting to walk off, “Well, Jaxie time is ticking,, gonna head back to my dorm before Ms. Thornhill gets there before me!”
He nodded as Xavier watching and looked at you in disbelief,, and upsetting.
——
You sped off in speed, towards you dorm where you heard all of the commotion from Wednesday and Enid, “This kitty got claws”
“You mean dog… This dog got claws?” You asked as Enid and Wednesday turned to you.
“Ion think this is divided equally.. giving off the racist vibe because i have the smallest part.”
“You a vampire, you don’t need a lot of room..” Wednesday stated which caused you to laugh, “Oh I know, it was a joke ask Enid.”
You walked to your coffin closet and changed into your oversized shirt from Rowan and a pair of shorts trying to get comfortable.. You’d heard voice outside of the room and you just knew who it was already.
You waited a while longer before coming out the closet, seeing her, Ms. Thornhill on a piece of tape that was apart of everyone’s space in the room, “Before I leave, I want to go over a few house rules..like,” You looked at Enid and then Wednesday and back at the red headed lady.
“Lights off at 10:00, no loud music, and no boys ever.” She spoke softly and harsh, Wednesday just was feeding into her, asking questions and all, “so please don’t go making any waves, or perpetuating any outcast stereotypes.”
You let out a loud puff of breath, “That means keep your claws to yourself, no smothering people in their sleep, and also no biting no mind-contorling and no talking to anyone’s pets getting them to do dumb things with them know.. Ms. Y/N Montgomery.”
“Goodnight, Ms. Thornhill.” You said as you threw the middle finger at her.
——
You’d had a dream.. a very odd dream of boys in the secret club,, but mainly Ajax and Xavier.. Or maybe it was just a vision.
You tried ignoring it and noting on from it to see for something better,, you tried to go on a walk early in the morning to relieve your stress but that wasn’t working, You’d came to call with Wednesday right next to your side, it shows that she really likes you, maybe because your kinda similar to her, but she tends to get along with you more then Enid.
You’d both walked into the fencing class with your different color fencing outfit on, hers black and yours a dark ruby red color.
You’d had your helmet on while Wednesday didn’t, he in front and you behind as the sound of y’all’s marching feet copied another.
There you spotted Rowan and Bianca, you could tell that was them, Rowan fell to the floor as quickly as you reached over to them and cried out, “Coach, Coach, she tripped me.”
“It was a clean strike, Rowan.” Coach replied to the boy on the floor.
You quickly pulled your mask off exposing your new hairstyle goddesses braids and pulling out a ponytail as your tied them up and pulling Rowan to his feet, “Why am I always stuck with the cry babies.”
The class laughed and Bianca joined in, “Maybe if you whined less and practiced more, you wouldn’t suck.” You rolled your eyes as Rowan jumped up from the mat and started to walk away, “Next time keep your mouth shut, when i say something I don’t back up.”
You started, “Only I can bully him, Ms. Wanna be added to everything.” You pitched your sword at your throat before exposing your fangs and red eyes.
Bianca let out a loud groan, “Seriously, Coach, when am I gonna get real competition?”
You laughed hearing her whine, “Anyone else want to challenge me?”
“I do.” Wednesday said from where she stood.
“Oh, you must be the psychopath they let in.”
“And, You must be the self-appointed Queen Bee…, Interesting thing about bees.. Pull out their stringers, and they drop dead.” the rest of the fencers let out a “ooh” as Bianca stood there embarrassing with a weak look.
“Rowan doesn’t need you to come to his defense.. He already had the Vampire oh wait, Hybrid, white and red eyed animal talking freak for that.” she started, adding on and on, “He’s not helpless, he’s lazy.”
“Are we doing this or not” Was all Wednesday asked while caused you to laugh even louder.
Bianca looked at you and scoffed, “Don’t even.. you not even gonna try and face me.”
“Ah,, your right but it looks like they let in competition for you today, but if Missy..wants to go against me aswell Coach if either of them wins would you aloud me and Wednesday to go against Bianca next,, 1v1v1?” You smirked as you seen the same look grew onto Wednesday face.
“I don’t think that’s fair.”
“I think it is, cause clearly yourself observe, and the best fencer in this class so, face and me her,, you already know I’m not good at this.”
That was a lie, you every good at this but whenever you got to the top you’d let someone knock you down because you didn’t want the attention the topper players received.
“Of course Lady Montgomery, now,, En garde.”
You stood on the opposite side of Rowan, you didn’t need to see the fight to know who was going to win, you just wanted to get a confession from Rowan right now.
You head was ringing as you sen the swords moving around repeatly and the grunting from both of them over and over.
You felt a presence behind you and you turned to see Xavier standing on side of you, tried to ignore him as you eyes turned white from the slight touch of him,
—Xavier and Ajax were talking once you’d left yesterday evening and were talking not talking fussing about something—
Was that something you..?
Forget it, Wednesday had tapped Bianca with the tip of her sword and scored a point just how you knew she would, you smirked and you clapped your hands for your newer friend.
“Point Wednesday.”
“One more Coach, just for fun.” You called out, he nodded as they fought again,, you knew Bianca was going to try hard this time, and you wanted to be a tie breaker.
This fight only too about 3ish minutes and Bianca scored, “The score is even.”
“That first point was clearly beginner’s luck.,, Let’s finish this”
“We’re gonna see about beginner’s luck,”
“For the final point, I would like to invoke military challenge..,No mask,, No tip.” the class “oohed” again, as Coach watched Wednesday as she moved closer to him.
“Winner draws first blood.”
You smirked and toyed with your fangs as she let her words come out her mouth, “Sound like you’re trying to feed me, Wenni.. I’m down for sun fresh bait”
Coach doesn’t make any facial expression, just a simple, “It’s your decision, Bianca.”
“Let’s see if you bleed in black and white.”
You sucked in the arm around you and the smell of Ajax blood.. you’d just now noticed he was in here with you, him and Xavier.. with the mixture of bitter and sweet blood combine you needed it and wanted them both.
Dropping you helmet on the floor and picking up the sword you had on the floor with you right and taking Xavier’s with your left and you added yourself into the fight, you used both of the sword to stop them both, you and wednesday attention was both set on Bianca,, you needed her to lose and she was going to no matter how hard it takes,
The four swords touching one and another back and forth, over and over on repeat you don’t know how long this was going to take but it was sure taking it precious time,
Bianca had gotten you on the floor and stumbled on your legs as you felt as if you were weak but as you hungry for blood grew more from the smell and image in your head you did a backflip until you were on your feet and and recovered very quickly and you grabbed ahold of the swords your drop before hand and watched closely as Wednesday and Bianca were going back and forth
You never exactly when to add yourself in, just as the sword swiped around Wednesday cheek you used both of your swords and marked Bianca with a mean scar of the letter M near her forehead and the side of her face which drew blood as well, just as she was about to say something you stopped her with those quick movements.
“‘Don’t even..’ you won against Wednesday but not against me.” You called out with your fangs showing,, from the sight of blood.
You heard a loud groan coming from her way again as you bowed down as the rest clapped for you and rushed out the class only to hear a or more then one pair of foot steps following closely behind you.

About your question regarding tattoo references, the first thing to consider is the artist and their style. You don’t bring a realistic b&w portrait to an artist that specializes in, let’s say, traditional style. It’s good to shop around for an artist whose style(s) match the kind of tattoo you’re looking to get.
Some artists will trace straight from the reference that you give them, they can typically take a digital file of the image and use a tablet as a light box to trace on top of, or they can print out the reference themselves to trace on, etc. (If you’re getting something like a symbol from a video game, like I did, it’ll likely be traced. I literally texted the image to my artist and he printed it out in-shop and traced it.)
By printing it out themselves, they are also able to print it in the correct size for the tattoo you want.
Other artists prefer to use the image as a reference, but draw the tattoo design themselves. There are also artists who love it when you give them more creative liberty in the design. You can say “I like the skull from this image, and the rose from this image, and I want it in X style” and let the artist draw up a couple designs for you.
Most artists, if they see an issue with the image, will suggest some changes that can be made to make it work better for a tattoo.
If an artist says that a design is not suitable for a tattoo, this is typically because the design is two small/intricate for the size tattoo that you want. All tattoos get fuzzier over time, so some designs age MUCH better than others.
Artist skill can also be an issue. Less experienced artists might have more trouble translating the design than a veteran. If a new artist is still developing their shading/coloring or line work, it can be a problem.
It’s always important to look at an artist’s portfolio, pick your artist based on the style you’re looking for (many people will have multiple artists that they go to for different things) and never be afraid to ask questions. Most artists are happy to answer questions and work with you to make sure you get exactly what you want. And if they don’t you can take your business elsewhere!
Hello!!! omigosh thank you for such a detail insight into this whole thing!!
I can see it much clearer now, thank you :D
I think what Im mos concern is that because Im not the tattoo artist itself and rather the person (intent, no promises yet as you can tell - im very indecisive and overthinking) selling the art design to people interested, and then the people go to said tattoo artist only for it to be rejected bcuz of reasons like the one you menioned (too small or something else)
would feel bad for it because they paid for the design ykwim, but ye Im still slowly just exploring this area and try to decide what's best
again, I really appreciate your notes! as someone who never gotten tattoos before this was really good to read :D

Assuming that the Kazekage is wearing the same piece of clothing in both instances, it would mean that ninja turtlenecks are simply made from an exceptionally stretchy material, light enough to allow for comfortable breathing, but still sufficiently elastic that it can be raised/lowered at different levels of the face without falling down. 
What I mean is that they’re all wearing the same thing :

Obito also wears something similar with his Tobi outfit, but I have difficulty making sense of it :

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
transcription of slides under the cut:
[SLIDE 1] the vibes ao3’s top 9 mdzs ships give me (a really stupid thing i made on a lazy saturday)
[SLIDE 2] wangxian: the wholesome canon relationship (with a hint of spice)
ok maybe calling the union between a demonic cultivator and a secret sex fiend “wholesome” isnt exactly accurate…but that’s where the “hint of spice” comes in
other than that tho? i remember seeing a meme somewhere about wangxian and sangcheng and wangxian was described as “domestic gays with a house and a white picket fence and two kids” and honestly? yes 
not that they cant be freaky. id say their particular brand of freakiness is vaguely surrealist suburban horror. make of that what you will
[SLIDE 3] xicheng: either its “pair the spares” or just about trauma
their dynamic is 500% “karen/enabling husband” but like in a good way
objectively the best-dressed couple you will ever meet. like seriously why are you even trying? theyve got you beat
jc would own a flower shop and punch you in the face for saying a single bad thing about his flowers. lxc would own a tattoo parlor and hand you a lollipop and tell you how proud he is of you for not crying while he gave you a tattoo
they dont strike me as a “every evening we relax and watch the sunset” type of relationship B U T every other week they go stargazing with a detailed map of the night sky
[SLIDE 4] xiyao: either a) the angst of betraying/being betrayed or b) the angst of killing/being killed
high society gays. they would both unironically wear tuxedos to a mcdonalds. lxc would see it as a fun couples thing and jgy would do it to assert his dominance
i swear they would be among the smiliest of the major couples. only one of them would give you a happy smile
dont mess with them. no like dont mess with any of the couples but so far jgy is the first one who would make your life living hell and keep you around long enough to suffer the consequences
[SLIDE 5] sangcheng: being simultaneously over- and underestimated
i saw a meme about sangcheng and wangxian where sangcheng was described as something along the lines of “wine aunt and vodka uncle” and honestly? yes
they’re both human disasters. nhs would have various splotches of color on his clothes and you cant tell if it was intentional or if theyre actually stains. jc is very neat and organized but will have a mental breakdown at the slightest inconvenience
sometimes they just sit down across from each other and. cry. its how they bond
idk why it popped into my head but they’re both ace Because I Said So
[SLIDE 6] xuexiao: cute domesticity but also murder
i refuse to believe that xy is anything but unhinged in every universe. whether or not thats a good thing is up to you
xy could and would murder you in your sleep and not feel bad about it until xxc told him off. even then he might still decide it was worth it
xxc doesnt exactly know about The Murder Stuff(TM) but he knows some shit is off but he trusts xy enough to not comment on it
they would meet and hook up in a bar and mutually decide that they may as well stay together for the rest of their lives the next morning
[SLIDE 7] xuanli: the token straights (but also? theyre really cute???)
i did not expect them to be as cute as they were but here i am
anyway jyl has jzxuan wrapped around her little finger and shes just too nice to use that to her advantage
if jyl asked jzxuan for some chocolate jzxuan would just buy her the entire hershey company and forget to give her an actual chocolate bar and jyl is too sweet to actually say anything about it
they would definitely have like 20 children. theyd fucking love being parents. the moment having another child became dangerous theyd start adopting left and right. theyre rich they can afford it and their hearts are big enough for all their kids so why would they not?
[SLIDE 8] songxiao: childhood friends to lovers AND perfect power couple
i know they have more nuance than this but i cant help but think of them as The Perfect Couple(TM)
not shipping-wise!! i mean like. theyre both law-abiding citizens. their house looks like a model house. theyre dressed super neat and handsomely. they both know cpr and first aid and one of them is a lawyer and the other is an award winning writer. idk who is who but yk.
they are who people call to deal with problems instead of the police and they delight in that fact. that is what i mean by them being The Perfect Couple(TM)
[SLIDE 9] chengxian: disasters through and through
uhh i am going to be spending the entirety of this slide ignoring the fact that i personally consider them siblings
they would live in a dingy studio apartment in the heart of a city and theyd both never be home
theyre both super fucking rich but theyd never have any money on hand so dont be surprised if they just starve out on the street one day because theyre just that stupid
they collectively have the self esteem of rotting cabbage but theyre keeping themselves and each other alive purely out of spite and sheer force of will
[SLIDES 10] nielan: childhood friends to lovers AND himbo power couple
psst heres a secret: neither of them are actually himbos
H O W E V E R they both 500% pretend they are. they intentionally act as stupid as possible just for the fun of it
the best part is when they stop acting stupid when something important happens. crouching-moron-hidden-badass at its finest
also the older brother energy is overflowing. it does not matter who you are or how old you are. if you meet them then youre going to walk away with two new big brothers
[SLIDES 11] the end (unless i gather the willpower to make a part 2)

green was the color
Fluff | Soulmate! AU Spencer Reid x FEM! BAU! Female 
Summary: In a universe where you can only see colors after meeting your soulmate, Spencer Reid waits his whole life to meet his soulmate. He meets the new team member and immediately falls in love. But there is a teeny, tiny problem, you weren’t his soulmate and he wasn’t yours.
Word Count: 3,5k
Warnings: a few case information from S7E10: The Bittersweet Science, a black eye, other than that its just pure mindless soulmate fluff. 
Writer’s Note: Hello! This is a soulmate AU that I wrote in one sitting, so the writing may be wobbly and there may be some mistakes. Its based on the tiktok trend where you see black and white then can only see colors when you meet your soulmates. Title is from Taylor’s Invisible String. Enjoy! 💛
Gif is mine. It’s surprisingly hard to make B&W to Color gifs lol. 
Tumblr media
Spencer Reid is a smart man. A man with an IQ of 187, eidetic memory and can read 20,000 words per minute. He knows this, but somehow he still feels inadequate over the fact that he cannot see colors.
More than anything he hates this because he was a man of science and science can explain anything, but this was something no one can explain. It’s just how the universe works, you have to meet your soulmate to see colors.
He’s not sure what he hates more. The fact that almost everyone around him can now see colors or the fact that he is aging by the minute and yet he was still as blind as a new born.
JJ met Will on a case. The stammering introductions, the glances and Will’s hand steadying her when JJ almost falls when the coloring of her world was overwhelmingly shocking. Nothing beats the blueness of his eyes, she says on their wedding day, the shade of it instantly becoming her favorite color.
Derek meets his new neighbour a week after she moved in. Her dishwasher won’t work, so she knocks on the door next door and Derek opens his door to the most beautiful woman in a red shirt. Savannah swears, years later, that Derek was wearing navy blue shirt, promising that she would never get the first color she sees in her lifetime wrong.
Hotch tells him the story of how Haley colored his world, his eyes filled with love. Hotch says he was just walking around the hallways, trying not to get lost on his first day but immediately stops on his tracks when he meets Haley’s eyes. The gray lockers, the bright yellow lights and the beautiful color of Haley’s blonde hair with pink highlights. He would laugh as he tells the story while saying, “She was going through a phase.”
Spencer finds the whole thing frustrating. He, truthfully, doesn’t want to see the colors but he just wanted to meet the person that would bring it into his life. His life that has been so full of pain and trauma. He just wants a tiny glimpse of brightness in his life.
He sighs as he stares back at his paperwork, looking up to see the desk across him where Derek used to sit. It’s been a week since Derek left the BAU. Suddenly the black and white became darker and duller. It was not the same when he was not around, but he knows that his best friend deserves the life that he is now having.
He selfishly wishes that the universe grants him something like that. An endless bundle of happiness in the hands of a small infant. He has suffered enough and being color blind just makes everything even more worse, he reasons like a child to no one in particular. 
Spencer stands up from his desk to refill his coffee. He needs to slow down, it's only 9:30 in the morning and it's already his third cup, but who cares right?
The clicking of heels unto the cold floor pulls him from his deep thought and he sees you. The first thing that catches his eyes was the huge sunglasses that is almost hiding half of your face and the hardcover Pride and Prejudice that you were carrying. Spencer can’t take his eyes off you even with the black and white filter.
You, on the other hand, is stressed. You were late on your first day of work in the prestigious BAU because you're damn nephew, who is going through puberty, punched you while you were trying to wake him up.
So here you are, in your dream job, in a matching two piece suit (your sister picking it out for you because you can’t see color yet) and wearing a sunglasses huge enough to cover half of your face because you had a black eye that even a whole tube of concealer can't conceal.
"Agent Hotchner?" You knock on his door.
"Come in." The cold feeling runs down your spine. My god, he's going to fire you on your first day.
"Good Morning, Sir. I am so so sorry I am late. I am not usually like this but I was babysitting my nephew and he was late for school and I was really nervous— Oh God, I am rambling. I am just so sorry. If you still want me, I promise I will never be late again." You say this in one go, while he just maintains a straight, stoic face. 
"Calm down, Agent YLN, I am not firing you. Take a seat." Thank god, you whisper as you sit down on one of the chairs facing his table.
An awkward silence fills the room, "Would you like... to remove your sunglasses?"
"I- uh... I can remove it here. But can I wear it outside?" One of Agent Hotchner’s eyebrow perks up and when you finally remove it your boss actually cracks a laugh.
"Oh god." You immediately put back the glasses. Agent Hotchner immediately straightens up on his seat. "I am so sorry for laughing. How... how did that happen on your first day?"
"I was baby sitting my nephew, I was really nervous about my first day and I completely forgot that he was there. He was already late for school so I violently wake him up and he punches me. A thirteen year old, going through a growth spurt, punched me." The smile was back on Agent Hotchner's face. His smile is actually making you feel better. Who the hell would have thought that this is how your first day would be going?
"It's really purple. You should put some ice on it." Like I would know what purple looks like...
"Okay, well we're briefing in a few minutes, so lets get you to meet the others before that." You nod, this was the nerve wrecking part. The BAU was notorious for how tight knit the team was and you knew (even if Agent Hotchner made it very clear that you were not) that you were a replacement for Derek Morgan. You just hope your black belt in karate is enough for that.
"Everybody, let's meet on the round table right now." He says to the group and you follow him like a lost puppy. You stand beside Hotch while the team slowly comes in the room. The sunglasses makes the room even more darker, as if your black and white vision was not enough.
"Everyone this is Dr. YN YLN. She's going to be our new member." Hotch introduces you. You smile and give a small wave.
"Doctor?" A blonde woman asks. You nod, "Doctorate in Psychology and Criminology." God, you felt lame, even with two PhDs, because of the sunglasses.
Spencer’s mind is running around, the woman with the prettiest smile he had ever seen and she has two doctorates? He is in trouble.
"Hey, I am David Rossi." You shake his hand and laugh, "I've actually met you before! You had a book signing and I went and watched." He laughs, and he seems genuinely proud of himself.
"Oh please. Stop inflating his ego more." You laugh and a blonde woman offers her hand, "I am Jennifer Jareau. But they call me JJ."
You turn to the next person, a tall, shaggy haired, adorable guy, "Hi, I am Doctor Spencer Reid." You shake his hand, electricity running through your hands. You drop it almost immediately because it looks like he wasn't comfortable with touch. He's cute, too bad he wasn't your soulmate.
“Doctor?” You say, curious as to what his doctorates are. He nods shyly.
“I have three PhDs in Mathematics, Chemistry and Engineering.” Your mouth almost drops but you catch it really quick, hiding it with a, “Wow...” He smiles, his lips forming into a thin line and giving you this adorable frog like smile. 
"Hey! I know you!" You turn around and your mouth almost hits the floor when two new ladies come in the door.
"Tara! I didn't know you worked here!" You give her a short hug and pull away almost immediately, fearing that you’d look unprofessional. "You know each other?" Hotch asks.
"Yes. We were in school together for our doctorate! I met her when she was pulling an all nighter in a library, and crying her eyes out while listening to Beethoven." You bit down your tongue, oh no. That's not a good image for your new coworkers. 
The group laughs and the other woman, with a bright smile and wide eyes. "Oh what’s your name missy? Are you the new recruit? Hello! I am Penelope Garcia! I am going to be your new best friend!" You smile at her, already loving the positivity she radiates and pulling her into a bear hug, "Oh! She's a hugger! I already love her!"
"I am YN YLN!" You say to her as you pull back but her stare lingers on you. "What's with the glasses?"
"Garcia." Hotch says in a stern voice. "Give her the ice pack I asked for."
"Oh! Yeah! Here you go. What is it for?" You scratch your head as she hands you the ice pack.
"I- uh... My nephew punched me this morning while I am waking him up and I now have a huge black eye that I am trying to hide behind the glasses." The whole group laughs at this.
"Oh you're laughing now, just wait till you see it. I've already made Agent Hotchner laugh." Their smiles grow bigger and the relief rushed over you. Okay, they’re laughing and they're not pushing me out of the door, that’s a relief.
"I am sorry to break this celebration but we need to brief. There's a new case." Penelope says, sadness evident in her eyes. She always wanted to hold on to the positivity the longest.
You pick a sit beside Tara as Penelope gives out some tablets, making you raise your hand like a child in a classroom, "Yes, Doctor YLN?" You smile at the name.
"Can I also have a file? Rather than the tablet? For next time?" You say as you point at the folder that Spencer is holding.
"Oh no! Do you also not like technology like our young doctor?" You shake your head, "I am fine with it. I just like files so I can take notes."
She nods, "Noted! Another file coming up for Doctor YLN." You whisper a thank you as she starts the presentation.
"Okay, crime fighters! You are going to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two men were beaten to death with a metal pipe." You look at the pictures that is now being shown in your tablet. "Sam Eeks, 58 and Sam Thomas, 32."
"This looks personal." JJ says looking over the file. "There was evidence of undoing at the crime scene." Tara says.
Rossi continues her train of thought, "He sat them up on crates demonstrating remorse."
"In 1976, George Geshwendt cleaned up the crime scene and covered all 6 victims' faces. This guy did the same thing." Spencer says and you can't help but stare. Thank God you're wearing glasses because you felt creepy staring. This man was not only cute and handsome but also SMART? How rare is that?!
You immediately look back down your tablet when Spencer looks at you, trying to avoid eye contact, which was dumb because you were wearing a huge sunglasses. 
"This type of aggression, coupled with his loose grip on reality, usually leads to more..." You shyly add, as you stare down at the tablet.
"Exactly. Which is why we're headed to Philadelphia. Wheels up in 20."
-
The crush doesn’t leave Spencer. He cringes when calling you that, he felt like a youngster or whatever they call the youth this days. You were in so many ways his dream girl. You like watching movies in different subtitles, your love for books can rival his, you were smart and you don’t judge him for the nerdy stuff because you were just as nerdy as he is. 
He tries to tell himself that it was just a crush and that the feeling of wanting to break himself into pieces because he wasn’t your soulmate would eventually go away.
“Spencer.” He looks up from the paper that he was reading and there you were standing, looming over him with some square sunglasses. 
“Yeah?” He squeaks out. You were so pretty, with your hair flowing and stopping just under your shoulder. 
“Tea?” You offer it to him, making his forehead scrunch, “What is it for?” 
“I noticed you drink 5-6 cups of coffee in a day. That’s not good, Doctor Reid.” You smile, obviously teasing him.
“Here. Studies have shown that tea makes you feel less antsy and makes you feel calmer. In this job, you’ll need that.” You smile at him, leaving the cup on his table and his heart beat sky rockets. How can someone telling him about a study he already read, make him go crazy? 
He sighs and takes a deep breathe, reaching out for the cup of tea and taking a sip out of it. 
Its nothing but a simple crush. Just a simple crush. He tells himself. 
-
Spencer Reid is plotting murder. 
Spencer is going crazy. He's sure he's going crazy. He was starting to plot murder against your soulmate, if he ever comes up. He can make it look so easy with all of his knowledge. But then, he mentally smacks himself for literally thinking of murder because he just likes you so much.  
How can he already like you so much? You weren't his soulmate! He was pretty sure of that because he still can't see colors and you let it slip on the first week that you also can't see colors when JJ asks why you're wearing a yellow sweater with green pants.
In two weeks, you've grown closer to Spencer and the whole team. How is it possible that a woman who was not his soulmate, be his dream girl? You were kind, smart, caring and you were cute in so many ways. You can make him laugh with your witty jokes and feel relaxed a minute later.
You were now sitting in front of him, on the plane on the way back to DC from Florida, holding a book in one hand and a cup of tea on the table, one for you and one for him. You have made it your life’s mission that he drinks less coffee, replacing it with tea and water.
You were still wearing sunglasses but its a new one that Penelope bought for you when she went shopping. JJ, Tara and Penelope has seen you with the glasses off, Spencer knows because Penelope won't stop gushing about how pretty your were without it and even with the black eye. He, on the other hand, doesn’t need to see it to know that you were beautiful. 
Across the aisle, JJ, Rossi and Tara were playing cards. Looking away from the cards when Hotch comes around handing you an ice pack and you give him a grateful smile.
What Spencer doesn't know is that you were also plagued with the thought of him. You feel so guilty, liking someone in the span of two weeks, someone who wasn't your soulmate. You felt like you were stealing someone else’s soulmate and if you really did, you were sure karma would chase you down. 
"God, when will this black eye leave?!" You say in an annoyed voice, setting down the book and squeezing the ice pack.
"It actually takes about two weeks for an black eye to heal. A black eye is a relatively common result of injury to the face. It's caused when blood and other fluids collect in the space around the eye. Resulting in swelling and dark—" Spencer stops at a halt as you look down at your lap, then pulling up your glasses to your hair and putting the ice pack on your left eye.
You still haven't met his eyes but Spencer can feel his heart skip a beat, which is scientifically impossible unless he was having a heart attack. Spencer wasn't one for looks, but you were so beautiful at that moment that he's actually contemplating if it would be okay to steal you from your soulmate. Would there be repercussions? Would the universe punish him?
You finally notice the silence, "Hey. Why'd you stop? I wanted to hear more about black ey—," You finally lift your head and for the first time without sunglasses, you meet Spencer's eyes.
Spencer feels a cold shiver run down his spine. The black and white surroundings are slowly turning into colors that Spencer's brain immediately categorizes in rows and columns. Looking at you now with color, Spencer thinks you were 200% times more beautiful.
You, on the other hand, almost have a heart attack. The color coming all at once making you wince at how bright everything is suddenly. You wince so loud, it makes the team look at you.
"Hey, you good?" Rossi asks, putting down the cards in his hand. You shake your head and put down the ice pack, taking a look at Spencer who is looking just as shell shocked as you were. He looked so good with the purple shirt he was wearing, the pink of his lips easily becoming your favorite shade of pink and his brown, grayish eyes burning into yours.
You turn away, looking at the team across the aisle who were still looking at you, confusion written on there face. You look down to look at what you were wearing.
"Oh what the hell?!" That was the first words coming out of your mouth after finding that the guy you were crushing on was your soulmate. Spencer can feel his heart drop, you were disappointed, you didn't want him as a soulmate. His mind runs through the worst case scenarios.
All of this worries dissolves in a snap as you continue your sentence, "Do I always dress like this? Green on green? Really?!?!" Your forehead creases more, looking annoyed and Spencer can't help but laugh. The green was bright, he thinks, but it brought your eyes out.
"That’s first thing you say?!" His laughs overtaking the quiet plane and ignoring the lingering stares. He looks at you, "God, YN, put the ice on your eyes. Its been weeks, how could it still be that green?" His nose scrunches up, in the cutest way possible, as he picks up the ice that has slid down to his side and gives it back to you. You smile back at him, a smile so wide she's scared it'll tear her mouth, as you put back the ice on your eyes.
"I like the purple on you." You say, pointing out the shirt. Spencer looks down, "Oh yeah! It does look nice."
"Wait, wait, wait, you guys are soulmates?!" JJ shrieks, standing up from her chair.
"I guess so." You say, shrugging and looking at Spencer.
"But, you've been around each other for two weeks." Tara asks, looking confused.
"I think its the glasses. It must be some kind of rule that it needs to be eye to eye contact without a barrier. I mean... I don’t know... There is no rule book." Spencer says looking directly at your eyes. He's keeping it in his mind, how brown it was and how warm it looks like.
"Congratulations!" Hotch says, standing up from his sit to give Spencer a hug while the others also congratulate you. It was a nice, small moment. It ends soon, when the team decides to give you two some alone time.
"So... we’re soulmates." Spencer has this smile on his face that reassures her the he was happy.
"That we are." You smile back, reach for his hands with uncertainty. Not wanting to overstep on boundaries but Spencer pushes your hands together, intertwining it together.
"I was hoping it was you." He admits and the smile on your face grows bigger, it hurts.
"Me too." You say in a quiet voice, as you press the ice pack in your eyes, letting your head fall on his shoulder. Spencer sighs with the contact letting his head fall unto top of yours. It immediately feels familiar, like it was meant to be. The contact makes you sleepy, so you let yourself succumb to sleep.
The plane now looks so much brighter, the books in his bag filled with colors and the shade of his shirt being the shade he’ll never forget. The color wasn’t really the most important thing, it was how you bought color into his life long before he can see it. 
"Thank you for bringing color into my life." It was a soft whisper, Spencer is sure you don't even hear it as he hears your breath smoothing out. 
It's okay though, because he will thank you for it for the rest of his life, you and you're green sweaters, green pants and green black eyes.

                                                 Law x pregnant readers
Waking up, (Name) only felt tired as if she hadn't slept in months.  She  just blamed it from the late nights of working and nothing else. Not even realizing when she woke up it was already in the afternoon and the Heart Pirates were currently eating in the galley.
With a loud groan (Name) took off her Pj's and walked into the shower, she gasped slightly when the water presser felt a little more sensitive on her chest than usual.
(Name) shrugged it off, thinking it was because she was still healing from the last battle she took part of, so she didn't think much about it. Propping herself next to her captain like she always does, she quietly ate her late lunch while trying to keep her eyes open. Law being the observant man he is, grew quite worried about his beloved wife acting so fatigue. "Are you alright?" Law asked, trying to act he wasn't concerned. She only nodded before face-planting into her food with a loud smack. No one panicked or thought it was something to worry about, guessing (Name) was just having a narcoleptic attack.
Later that day, (Name) was currently laying on her bed while reading a book. Feeling like she was about to throw up, she put down her book next to her and quickly opened the bathroom door. She then puke out all of her lunch and maybe last night dinner as well into the toilet. Wipeing her mouth, (Name) then headed toward the sink to splash some cold water on her face.
Feeling a familiar presence, (Name) then turned her head to where Law was currently standing with a worried expression on his face. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I guess it's just a little food poisoning." (Name) said while scratching the back of her head.
"Alright but let me know when it gets worse."Law stated as he exited the bathroom.
(Name's) heart almost escaped from her chest when the submarine started shaking and yellow lights started flashing. Running onto the deck she could already see a battle taking place with men in white and blue uniforms on one side and men in colorful hats and white overalls on the other side. Unsheathing her twin katanas, (Name) then started cutting one marine after another but for some strange reason she already felt like she was out of energy. 20 minutes into the battle, with a large pant for air she finishes off the last of the marines before wobbling back to the submarine's doors.
"Damn why am I already out of breath, those marines were just small fries. My training methods haven't changed one bit, why do I feel so weak. "(Name) muttered to herself in annoyance.
(Name) only pushed her food around on the plate, hardly nibbling then she looked around the room. Everyone was so cheerful and she couldn't help but smile.
"Not eating much I see." Law commented, leaning over to whisper in her ear. Not like he needs to, over the usually loud noise that the Heart Pirates made at each meal.
"I'm just not hungry." She responded.
"Strange and I thought for someone who was out of breath just by fighting a few marines would be starving." Law stated in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Is it not to your liking, (Name)?" The head chef asked, catching sight of Law's actions.
"It's good. I'm just not hungry right now"(Name) said as she pushed back the plate.
"I'll put it in the fridge until you feel like eating again,"The chef said as he scooped up her plate of uneaten food.
"Do you need to lie down again?" Law asked her again for the third time today.
"I'm okay."
"Could I get some orange juice though?"(Name) sweetly asked the cook.
Then immediately , the crew got back to their usual antics paying no mind to (Name's) odd behavior.
She got to her feet while squeezing Law's shoulder gently. "I'm going to read a book." She said before taking a sip of the juice.
She was hoping that it was simply a case of stomach flu and not something alot more serious.
(Name) was once again in the bathroom and vomiting all of what she ate yesterday, which was not that much. (Name) felt terrible , as would anyone in these types of situations would, however, she still didn't want to bring the matter up. Luckily, Law hasn't woken up from his deep slumber , which made her sigh in relief. Slipping back into bed, she then let her eyelids close as she slept all the way through the afternoon again.
Then that cycle of having no appetite and vomiting lasted for this day as well, which made Law start to worry even more about his wife.
"(Name)!" She picked up her head by the ship's railing in surprise as she heard her name being called by Penguin. Her stomach hadn't seemed to settle, and now she is throwing up into the sea.
She then turned her head to the mechanic, trying her best not to look sick.
Penguin walked up to (Name) getting rather closer, causing (Name) to become nervous.
"You look pale." Penguin commented.
"I haven't been feeling well the last few days Penguin. So I'm probably a bit pale." (Name) stated .
"You're sick (Name)?" questioned Shachi. (Name) nodded her head, however quickly realized what she had brought up.
"I'm only slightly sick, just a little headache. Really."
"You sure (Name)?" Law asked as he walked up to the swordswoman, worried about her health.
She then gave a reassuring thumbs up to everyone to show that she was okay. Though internally, she was kicking herself for lying to the crew, even more so to her trusting and loving husband. The crew soon believed the lie as they continued with their day, however, Penguin, Shachi, and Law didn't seem to be convinced, so they kept an eye on her.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it." (Name) thought as she ran to the bathroom for the third time this week. She still was getting lucky with Law having once again already left their room or sleeping, but she knew that it was only a matter of time before they really began to be suspicious.
"This will pass. This will pass."(Name) kept telling herself furiously as she finished with her recent vomiting episode. She picked herself up, taking in deep breaths trying to settle her stomach. As she looked into the mirror, she noticed that she is even paler than yesterday.
Putting on a brave face, she then walked out of the bathroom and went onto the deck.
"Land ahoy!" Shachi shouted as he pointed at the piece of land.
All of the Heart Pirates gather around the railing in a disorderly long line, and lean over it, while watching the island they were about to dock. They had docked at a unique island well-known in the areas as vicious wild blood thirsty animals live there.
"Yahoo, a new adventure!" (Name) said happily before walking off the submarine's plank. As she got closer and closer onto the island, she felt someone grabbing her shoulder.
"I think it's for the best if you stay back in your current state."Law stated with a worried look on his face.
She only shrugged his hand off. "I'm fine, I feel a lot better today."
Before Law could protest, (Name) had already made her way onto the island.
And then she left, not running, but walking kinda in a slow pace into the forests.
After some time had passed, both Penguin and Shachi had returned after a troublesome adventure with some saber-tooth monkeys. Law was starting to get a little worry since (Name) wasn't back yet, so he went the same direction she walked in.
As Law walked deeper and deeper into the forest he finally made eye contact with the swordswoman. "Help!" (Name) called out as she was kneeling onto the tall grass while clenching her slightly bleeding shoulder.
Law was surprised, (Name) never called for help unless it's something really serious or life-threatening .
Activating his Room he switches places with (Name) while killing the beast in the process.
While Law was carrying (Name) through the forest, she leaned away from his chest so she wouldn't get vomit onto his clothes
-x-
"I'm going to take a blood sample." (Name) nodded as she rolled up her sleeve allowing Law to apply the alcohol onto her skin then inserting the needle. Only taking a tiny amount, Law removed the needle and quickly placed a band-aid on where he poke her. "You can leave, I will give you your results as soon as possible."
She only nodded before leaving the infirmary room.
Law stood there from where he was sitting in shock, not knowing how to feel after reviewing the results of her blood test. It was a mix of happiness, relief, fear and mostly parental love. It took all of his strength not to jump down like a crazy man who just won the lottery, because it was the middle of the night and he didn't want to wake up his crew. When he finally made it to the doors of his room, he put on a calm face and slowly and quietly opened the door. "Hi Captain, so did my blood test turn out good?" (Name) asked casually.
"Yep, it seems that both of you are fine." Law said with a big goofy smile on his usually calm and serious face. (Name) looked at her captain in surprise and in slight confusion, even already knowing the answer. "W-what do you mean the b-both of us?" (Name) managed to stutter out.
"I mean our baby. You're 9 weeks pregnant."
He was in love with (Name), and the idea of her having his baby was ideal to him, but it was still a shock, they'd never even spoken or brought up the subject. He wanted a family, but the idea still scares him. All the memories of his mother and father, and his little sister Lami all stuck to him. Then, the struggles and problems of them being famous pirates with both of them having large bounties on their heads. And all of the struggles that their child will face as well, everything he, (Name) and his unborn child, everything they will face together suddenly hit him in one go.
"Law I'm sorry, I should have been more careful." (Name) said while sobbing.
Law quickly, but carefully picks her up and sits her onto his lap while stroking the spot where their child was growing.
"Sorry for what? Making this the happiest day of my life." Law said before kissing her still flat stomach.
(Name) began to cry more but it wasn't tears of sadness, they were tears of joy. "We're going to be parents. I'm going to be a mom."
"And I'm going to be a dad. " Law said while showering her with even more kisses. (Name) squeaked when Law gently swooped her off her feet and began sprinting across the metal halls.
"What the... Law?!"
"Your shoulder, your shoulder was wounded. You're staying overnight, no, 3 nights in the infirmary. What if the baby got hurt. What if the baby got killed?"Law started listing off the things that could happen to their unborn child.
-x-
"Everyone, we have an announcement!" Law shouted loudly to get everyone's attention who was on the deck.
"We're getting a new crew member." (Name) said while trying to hold back her giggles.
"Oh, that's nice, when can we meet them?" Penguin asked.
"Less than 9 months." Law answered which made everyone go completely silent.
"We're having a baby!" Both (Name) and Law shouted cheerfully.
They were all staring at the expected couple, completely dumbfounded.
Astounded, flabbergasted, shock whichever word to describe their expressions and the tense atmosphere. Law's hand started to turn purple just by how hard (Name) was squeezing his hand.
"CONGRATULATIONS," Penguin and Shachi shouted in perfect unison.
"This is amazing, this calls for a party!" A Heart Pirate exclaimed.
"No alcohol for the pregnant woman though," Bepo smiled warmly at her from Law's side.
"(Name), don't cry, " Law said, reaching around her shoulders to comfort her.
"I know, it has to be the unbalanced hormones. I'm just so happy, this is a new chapter of my life." (Name) said as she cried into Law's chest.
Throughout the day everyone was partying while congratulating the new parents-to-be.
"So who will be the godparents?" Bepo asked.
"We have already decided that Ikkaku and you will be the godparents of our child."(Name) answered. Bepo then lifted both (Name) and Law off their feet and gave them a big hug while crying tears of joy. "Thank you, I'll be the best godfather ever." Bepo said, which made everyone in the Heart Pirates stare in jealousy, especially Penguin and Shachi.
"You guys will make great uncles." (Name)said with a big smile while hugging both of them in her arms.
"Lucky bear." Shachi muttered.
The 2 mechanics' faces turned a deep shade of red when (Name) kissed both of them on the cheek. "Don't worry, there is enough love to go around."
Then out of nowhere, a large explosion could be heard across the deck.
"Heart Pirates, Give up now or prepare to die."A marine holding a megaphone demanded.
(Name) smirked before unsheathing her twin katanas as she got into a fighting stance.
"Do your worst.''She retorted before Law used his devil fruit ability to transport her back into the sub.
Law shut the metal doors, ignoring the loud banging noises that were coming from the other side.
"Law, you ass, I want to fight too. Let me out, let me out." (Name) demanded as she kept on banging her fist onto the metal door.
"No, as your captain and doctor I order you to stay back and let us handle this. You're pregnant, you need to take it easy for now on."Law stated, which made (Name) slump down in disappointment. She hated being useless, she wanted to fight, she wanted to help, she wanted to do something besides laying down and doing nothing.
"Oh great, 7 more months of being totally useless." (Name) muttered under her breath while sighing.
A few weeks later-
(Name) felt like she was already going crazy. She wasn't allowed to do anything and she meant she couldn't do anything. First, the large weights she and Jean Bart can usually lift with ease have been replaced with 5 pound weights and she wasn't even allowed to use them for more than 5 minutes. Law had also forbidden( name) in certain places in the submarine as well, which was almost one half of the metal vessel that was off limits for her.
(Name) also swears, Law has super hearing because when she decides to get out of her bed, Law uses his devil fruit abilities to teleport himself right next to his wife's side.
"Law, go back to work. I'm just getting a snack."(Name) protested.
"Then ask me or someone else from the crew to get it for you. You're still in your first trimester of pregnancy, there is still a possible chance of miscarriages or physical deformities or all sources of possible medical stated as he called forth his room again then instantly a jar of peanuts appeared in his hand.
"Here, take these and go back to our room." Was all Law said as he pointed the direction of where their room was located, as if she was completely clueless of where she had been living for most of her life.
Rolling eyes (Name) went back to her room while munching down on the jar of peanuts on the way.
-x-
When the Heart Pirates docked onto an island, (Name) thought she could get some alone time to herself while getting the necessary items for the future stages of her pregnancy. And it was a good thing too since her pants and shirt had been feeling tight lately. "Bye Captain, I'm going to do a little shopping." (Name) said before she jumped off the submarine's front deck.
"Room, Shambles." Law now had (Name) in his arms.
"What the hell Law?" (Name) questioned.
"I'm coming with you, " Law stated as he tightly held her hand.
"Law, I'll be just fine. It's just a little shopping, I'm barely showing." (Name) retorted while trying to slip her hand from Law's strong grip.
"Nope, as long as you're carrying my child you're stuck with me." Law said, securitly wrapping around his arm onto her waist.
After 5 medical and clothes stores later, Law's arms were both covered in shopping bags while (Name) just carried a single bag with a small bottle of medicine inside of it.
"Law, let me carry that for you. You know I can lift 1000 times my own body weight." (Name) Stated with an annoyed frown.
"I got this, I don't want you to lift even one eight of your body weight. Your-" (Name) then cut off Law before he could finish the rest of this statement. "Yeah, Yeah, I know I'm pregnant and pregnant women shouldn't be exerting themselves."
Smirking devilishly, (Name) came up with a small plan to get away from her overbearing husband.
"Hey honey, I really need to use the bathroom."(Name) said as she pretended her bladder was about to burst.
"Very well."He responded, then they headed to the closest bathroom.
Reaching down in her left sock, (Name) grabbed a screwdriver and began unscrewing the bathroom's top window.
When (Name) was finally outside of the building, she began to grin like she has been in prison for 20 years and just now escaped. She was free, she could do whatever she wanted without worrying about Law dragging her back to their room and making her stay there until the next day.
In a swift motion, (Name) unsheathed her twin katanas and blocked an attack from a familiar mask man.
"Yo... it's been a while, when was the last time we fought together."(Name)greeted, enjoying the weight and feel of her swords when fighting. "Too long and this time I will become victorious." Killer responded.
Killer and (name) have been rivals ever since their crew had first met. The 2 of them will always break into fights everytime when they see one another. But so far they're about even, most of the time their fights usually ended up in draws.
The fight soon stopped when Killer stepped away and put back his scythe blades into its case. "Hey what gives, why are you chickening out now! The fight was just about to get better." (Name) shouted.
"I'm not fighting a pregnant woman, I want to kick your ass at your best."Killer stated while pointing to her slightly rounded stomach. "Damn, I knew I should have put on more baggy clothing."(Name) thought to herself as she tried to cover her baby bump.
"You're a pirate, why should you even care? Pirates do whatever they want."(Name) exclaimed while pouting slightly.
"I may be a pirate but I'm still a man who doesn't like fighting weak women." Was all he said before walking away.
"I'm not weak...fight me, please! Law won't even let me hold a fork. Please, I'm only on my 16 week."(Name)whined as she tugged onto Killer's shirt.
"No, and you look alot more further along than that."Killer retorted which made (Name) gasp loudly of being called fat.
Before Killer had any time to dodge, (Name) kicked him square in the balls which made him groan in pain.
"Meanie!" (Name) spat out before taking off into the forest nearby with small tears running down her face.
"Ouch!"He groaned loudly, laying on the ground while holding his sore nuts.
-x-
Law was pissed. But mostly Law was extremely worried. He couldn't find his wife anywhere, but what really worries him is that the Kid Pirate's ship has been spotted as well.
What if the Kid Pirates took advantage of his wife's current state or even worse killed her on the spot.
No matter how much observation Haki Law uses, he didn't have any lead on where his wife is.
"Captain, we know where she is." Penguin reported.
"Yeah, Killer from the Kid Pirates told us she kicked him in the nuts and went into the forest,"Shachi added.
"And why did she kick him in the nuts, (Name) doesn't usually use low blows?"Law stated with a raised eyebrow.
"Well,"Penguin started off while scratching the back of his head.
"He kinda called her fat." Shachi answered.
In a blink of an eye, Law called forth his room and teleported himself into the forest. Without even trying, Law hears small whimpers coming from the top of a tree so he looks up and sees the person he was looking for all day.
"(Name!)Law called out his wife's name.
"Go away!" She screamed then resumed crying again.
"No, I know I've been a little too clingy lately, but it's only because I want the best for you and our future kid as well. And to be fair, I don't really blame you for running away from me, so that is why I promise you I will try my best to give you your space."Law promised as he kneeled down.
(Name) stopped crying and looked at her husband.
"Okay, I'm coming down now."(Name) responded as she started climbing down onto one branch after another.
She gasps when one branch snaps from her weight and she begins to fall, face first into a painfull fall, and Law swears his heart stops for 5 seconds as his throat hitchs.
"Room, shambles!"
When his wife's stomach was only inches away from hitting the hard ground, she instantly appeared in Law's arms.
"Law, I'm sorr-"(Name) whispered her husband's name.
"That was way too close." He then looked and touched her baby bump gently.
"You're never ever leaving my sight until that baby is out of you. That's an order." Was all he said as he started walking back to the sub with his wife in his arms.
-x-
(Name) found herself laying flat on her back in the medical bay as Law prepared the new ultrasound equipment.
"Damn, that's cold." She hissed when the clear gel made contact with her stomach.
"Sorry," he apologised half-heartedly.
"Usually I would just use my scanning ability, but I think it would be a lot more useful to check in like this."Law stated then he turned on the monitor. He moved the device around her stomach slowly with his eyes on the screen, instantly stopped when he saw a gray blob in the middle.
"There's our child."He pointed to the blob.
As (Name) looked closer at the screen, she cock an eyebrow when another blob had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Honey, why are there 2 of them?"(Name) stated while pointing where the 2 blobs were located.
"You're just seeing things, there is no-"Law stopped himself when indeed there were more than 1 blob. "We're having twins."Law whispered so softly that (Name) had to ask him to repeat himself.
"We're having twins. Yes,! Now you don't have to get pregnant again."Law said again as his wife just stood there in shock, not knowing how to process the new information.
"Wait, you're not satisfied with one kid." (Name) yelled at her husband in which he only nodded.
"Great. I already get smothered enough with one baby, I'm sure it's gonna get worse."
"It's now double," his lips formed into a smirk. "For now you're going to have daily instead of weekly check ups. And you're no longer allowed to practice swordsmanship with real swords anymore."
"Excuse me? No way, I've been holding swords since I was only 5 years old, you can't do that." She sat up sharply.
"You lost all of your rights when you started carrying precious cargo. Now you must be twice careful with our little ones." He brushed his fingers against her stomach before kissing it gently.
The more (Name-s) belly got bigger and bigger, the more cautious everyone, especially Law became. In only her 30 weeks of pregnancy, (Name) already looks like she could give birth any day now.
The Heart Pirates were currently docked on a winter island while (Name) only watched from a sideline.
"But Law, I want to play in the snow like everyone else. Please, I've been cooped up in this submarine for far too long."(Name) begged while giving Law the puppy eye look.
"Fine, but you need to bundle up."Law exclaimed.
6 layers of thick clothing later, (Name) walked off the Polar tang's deck with Law right next to her side.
Working on her snow fort for about 30 minutes, (Name) started to feel a sneeze coming along and tried her best to hold it in.
"Achoo!" She then covered her mouth, in hopes Law didn't hear it.
She sighs and doesn't even put up a fight when Law's room incases her, and teleports her into his arms.
"You're going back to the sub, I knew it was a bad idea to let you play in the snow."Law stated flatly.
And once again (Name) was laying flat on her back as she watched Law move the ultrasound equipment around her stomach for the fourth time this week.
"Is this really necessary?"(Name) questioned while pouting.
"Yes, unless you don't want our babies to be healthy. You're now forbidden to leave our bed until your cold has subsided. If you break any of those rules then I will bind you to the bed until your pregnancy has ended. Do I make myself clear?" Law questioned which only made (name) stick out her tongue.
"You 2 need to get out of mommy soon because I can't take another minute with your daddy."(Name) talk and rub to her rounded stomach when Law left the room.
-x-
2 weeks later and (Name) Was finally on her last trimester of pregnancy. "Law!" (Name) shouted his name loudly.
"Yes my darling, is there something you need." Law responded as he headed toward where his wife was currently sitting down.
"The babies are kicking, they're kicking again."(Name) said excitedly then grab's Law's hand to guide him where the kicking was happening.
Then the day when his children would be born.
(Name) woke up in the middle of the night when she felt a warm wet substance in between her legs and soon realized her water just broke.
"Law...Law." She shakes her husband awake.
"Yeah, what is it?" He muttered as he tried to rub away the sleep from his eyes.
"My water just broke."She then yelled in agony after she felt a contraction.
"Shit?!" Law then quickly moves to her side to help her into the wheelchair he had laying by for this day. "Bepo, round up the medical squad, it's time." Law shouted through a den den mushi.
"Whatt, I thought she wasn't due for at least another couple weeks." Bepo shouted.
"Well, the kids have decided to come now!" Law stated.
12 hours of shouting and a lot of pushing later, the first one came out.
"She's a beautiful girl!" Law said before handing the bundle of joy to Bepo.
"Come on just one more push." Law said then he could see the head of the baby.
"It's a handsome boy," Law said before handing the other baby to Penguin's arms.
"Law, what should we name them?"(Name) asked as she panted for air.
"Rosey for our baby girl and Corazon for our baby boy." Law answered, then placed a sweet and tender kiss on his wife's forehead.
"You need rest now, I will take care of them in the meantime."

nsfw alphabet [ chibs telford ]
WARNINGS ─ gn!reader, smut [ oral sex, cum, kinks, masturbation ]
DISCLAIMER ─ if you are under the age of 18, do not read [ nsfw content under cut ] 
Tumblr media
a = aftercare [ what they’re like after sex ]
is one to light a cigarette the minute the act is done, patiently waiting you come down from your high and maybe, gain some feeling back in your legs again. his hands is coaxing you to even your breathing as he pulls you to rest against his chest
once he’s stamped out his cigarette, he’s pulling on a pair of briefs and walking to the washroom to get you cleaned up. if a bath and a change of sheets is needed, he’ll get that together for you and get the bedroom all squared away until you’re ready to join him once again
b = body part [ their favorite body part of theirs, and also their partner’s ]
his gentleman side would say that his favorite body part on his partner is their mind and tongue. nothing sexual about it, but he loves to hear you speak your mind, take control of the area you are in and take no shit from anyone
now, his more non-gentlemen side would say he’s a sucker for chests [ boobies or not ]. he loves laying his head there and listening to your heartbeat but also loves pressing his face right into your sternum. getting to bit and lick and mark every inch of the skin
on himself, he would say his hands. years of garage work, motorcycles, and other things have roughed them up quite a bit and he gets a small spark of joy when he gets to run his clast finger tips down any part of your exposed skin
c = cum [ anything to do with cum basically…i’m a disgusting person ]
going back to the above, on your chest. getting to paint you with his cum gets him hard all over again, and is not embarrassed to groan at the sight. oh, but you happen to swipe up some of the cum on your finger and pop it in your mouth? you might have just killed him
on the flip side, he does like cumming inside you, but likes to ask before doing so. but if given permission, loves watching it drip out of your hole. and might push some of it back in with a loving smile
d = dirty secret [ pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs ]
playing the game that you don’t know each other at a club party, and him taking you to his dorm for a little fun time. has never said anything, but has thought about it often
e = experience [ how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing? ]
with a previous wife and plenty of croweaters that he’s had his way with in the past, there is no denying this man has gotten around. he might try the first time to use what he’s used on croweaters before, but quickly finds that you might tick a different way and has to relearn basically everything. but don’t worry, he’ll make sure to get plenty of practice in
f = favorite position [ this goes without saying ]
missionary. standard & reverse cowgirl. doggy-style. spooning. 
g = goofy [ are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc ]
while he tends to be serious most of the time, he finds that if he can’t laugh something off like you getting a cramp midway through, or he fumbles while trying to get into a position, then the relationship won’t last
h = hair [ how well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc ]
has truly given up on keeping groomed. use to in younger years make everything nice and clean, but has since stopped as he just doesn't want to do it anymore and regrowth is a bitch. now, he does trim so it doesn’t get too long
i = intimacy [ how are they during the moment, romantic aspect… ]
very affectionate in a private setting. pulls you in close and loves to just be able to touch you and have you surround him in anyway possible. whispering sweets words in gaelic, holding your face in his hands. that kind of thing
j = jack off [ masturbation headcanon ]
never really used his hand to get himself off, as there was always a croweater nearby to help him out and be his companion for the night. since he has started a relationship with you, he might do it more to keep himself faithful while on runs. he doesn’t do anything with the croweaters on runs, even though it’s always been something the married men have always done, he’s not one to partake
k = kink [ one or more of their kinks ]
tit-fucking ─ going back to his fascinations with chests, having the ability to run his cock against your sternum turns him on so fucking much. sometimes, he’ll do in unprompted, but sometimes, you pat your chest and he’ll quickly get into position
stockings ─ any color, any detail is fine with him. they look so pretty against your skin and are so soft. will literally buy you one in ever color. they stay on while everything else comes off.
l = location [ favorite places to do the do ]
his/ your home or in his dorm at the clubhouse. both are safe places for him and there is less room for interruptions and he can focus he’s sole attention on you
m = motivation [ what turns them on, gets them going ]
a strong confidence paired with a mouth that has no problem telling someone off or letting people know what you think. you sitting or riding with him on his bike -- also wearing his helmet. kicking ass against some of his brothers -- winning a drinking game, a round of pool, or darts. jeans that seem to hug all of your curves. leather attire of any kind. you speaking gaelic
n = no [ something they wouldn’t do, turn offs ]
sharing you with someone ─ he’s seen some of his brother indulge in something like this and  has always felt funny about it. plus, the man has a major jealous streak when prompted and that just doesn’t mix well
degradation & abuse ─ this was after having seen it during one of the porn shoots and he had to step away, not truly understanding how someone could do that to another human in a vulnerable situation
o = oral [ preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc ]
oral for him is split 50/50. in his eyes, it’s only fair if you suck him off that he return the favor.
receiving ─ he’s coaching you through it, even if you know how to do it. he loves talking to you, lightly pulling your hair away from your face or affectionately caressing your cheek or jaw. he lets you do what you want, and isn’t going to dictate what you can and cannot do. as this is just as much for him as it is for you
giving  ─ okay, so maybe i lied about the 50/50 split. to a degree. once this man gets to return the favor, it’s hard to pull him away after the first orgasm. he will continue to build you up for another one and won’t come up for breath until you’ve cum at least three times
p = pace [ are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc. ]
depends on the mood and can range from a rough fucking or soft lovemaking.
he isn’t fast per say, most of his thrusts are quite calculated in the sense that he knows what spots make you weak at the knees or make your spine tingle. so, while the thrusts are powerful, there is no speed to them as he doesn’t want you to come undone too quickly
soft lovemaking on the other hand is just like the above, but the power behind the thrusts is toned down. it’s still there, but it’s not as rough. he takes his time,  either letting you ride him or spooning you. this pace happens to get you to completion much later, but it is so worth it
q = quickie [ their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc. ]
yes, yes, and yes. quickies are frequented quite heavily in your relationship, as sometimes, that is the only way the two of you can blow of some steam. a quickie will happen before runs or when you sneak off during parties to hurry back like you weren’t gone for 20 minutes
but don’t get it confused, this man would always rather have a nice, quiet session with you over a quickie any day.
r = risk [ are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc. ]
isn’t one to take risks without thinking through or talking about them first. sure, he likes that you are open enough to come and talk to him about what you would like to do in the bedroom, but would like to make sure that everyone is on the same page
s = stamina [ how many rounds can they go for, how long do they last… ]
two rounds max. and that goes for whatever mood and pace the two of you happen to be in. chibs doesn’t want to overexert himself or you, as sometimes just one session is enough to knock you out for the evening. 
now, this isn’t going to impact the amount of orgasms he’s going to pull from you over the course of the night. no one ever asked how long the sessions were going to last, just how many you are able to do
t = toy [ do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves? ]
was never one to use toys on partners, and had never thought for himself.
if you own toys for personal use and would like to incorporate them into the bedroom, he has no problem using them to aid in getting you off. however, he will draw the line at using them for himself, as it’s not really his thing
u = unfair [ how much do they like to tease ]
teasing is his specialty, but this man makes timed and deliberate strikes that will have to melting in his hand within a few hours. but don’t let it fool you, as he can wait for as long as he needs and he definitely isn’t going to be the one to crack 
so, if you want to push through your conversation with your friends and pretend he hasn’t been feeling you up this past hour, you go ahead. you’ll break eventually
v = volume [ how loud they are, what sound they make ]
no very loud would in comes to moans of pleasure, as they are usually quite muffled to some degree -- as he’s either muffling them into your skin as he presses kisses or is doing it more so under his breath
on the flip side, he isn’t quite when speaking to you. the amount of filth and sin that leaves his mouth as he slides into you over and over again is almost too much to handle. especially when it’s paired with his thick accent, that also, seemingly gets deeper the more settles into you
w = wild card [ get a random headcanon for the character of your choice ]
roleplay, specifically one where he can use the premise of him being a biker and you either taking on an authority figure or someone who’s seen in a more innocence light. bringing his kutte into the mix, or his bike is super appealing to him and anything the two of you can do with that is okay in his book
x = x-ray [ let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words ]
six inches. thick and slightly veiny from bottom to tip. curves slightly when erect.
y = yearning [ how high is their sex drive? ]
despite his age, he has a medium to high sex drive. this all depends on what is currently going on and how he’s feeling. 
his sex drive is medium when he’s doing day to day things. being ready as almost a drop of a hat if you are wanting to initiate something with him during some down time or at a club party. it might take just a little convincing, however, you seem to have him wrapped around your finger and he has a hard time resisting you.
his sex drive is high when he’s very frustrated -- i.e. with happenings involving the club, or when he’s been while on a run for some time. however, he is a patient man and isn’t one to pull you away mid conversation with someone just to throw you into the bed and have his way with you. he will let you come to him and from there, will go as many rounds as the two of you will allow
z = zzz [ how quickly they fall asleep afterward ]
as his finishes off his cigarette, and the post-orgasm high has settled, he pulls you in close. letting you rest against his chest as finger tips run along your spine with practiced ease. it’s his way of showing you a small hint of affection without doing too much if that’s not what you are in the mood for
at this moment, he is fully relaxed and slowly starts to draft off. there is really no telling if he falls asleep first, or if you do, but he’ll fall asleep if he wants to. but not without making sure you are well taken care of before doing so

NSFW Alphabet
Dean Winchester x F!Reader
T/W: PwP. It's all smut. Detailed talk of smut. Mention of kinks.  A/N: I have never written one of these before, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Gif is made by me. Requests are open.
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare
Dean is all about aftercare.
He will shower you with attention after.
He will get you your stuffed animal if you have one, a blanket, a snack, your favorite show.
Needless to say, you will be spoiled.
He will praise you constantly afterwords.
You'll be told what a good girl you are and how you made him feel so good.
Prepare for cuddles, because he's going to want to just hold you for a while.
B = Body part
He loves his cock. Seriously.
He believes he knows how to use it and he really does.
If there is one thing he can be really confident in, it's that.
Other than that, he loves his lips.
On you though, it's your eyes and your hands.
He loves eyes that feel like they are boring into his soul when they look at him.
And he loves how soft your hands hard.
The fact that you are good with them is just a bonus.
C = Cum
He knows you love it, so he's not shy about it.
He will cum on you and in you.
Especially in you if you beg for it.
He loves to cum in you.
He likes seeing it dribble down from your legs.
It's like a small mark of territory on your (or in you),
and especially loves seeing you collect it onto your fingers then licking it
The idea of you licking up his cum in general drives him crazy.
He wouldn't hesitate to cum onto something to watch you clean it up with your mouth.
If he cums on your face, it's always around your lips.
again, so that he can watch you lick at it.
D = Dirty secret
Outdoor sex is a favorite.
Be it in baby, on a dirt road, in a bathroom somewhere.
He likes the idea and risk of getting caught with you.
Which only makes any sort of quickie a little sexier.
He also likes listening to you.
Sometimes he will ask you to masturbate and walk out of view just because he simply wants to listen to you.
This often leads to a mutual masturbation time.
When he asks you to do this, you get extra loud for him and moan his name.
It drives him nuts.
E = Experience
When it comes to experience, Dean knows what he's doing.
Its never been difficult for him to get girls.
So getting laid was never a problem.
He knows every trick in the book and knows how to do them!
Dean is often called the "best night of someone's life" for a reason.
If you are inexperienced, that's okay, he will show you how to do it and how to please with him in mind.
And he will show you how to do it for as long as you need.
F = Favorite position
It's hard to narrow it down.
Dean likes sex in general but if he had to pick it would probably be any variation of the cow-girl position.
This type of position allows him to see all of you while still maintaining all of his control.
He can run his hands over your body and play with every inch of you all while watching.
G = Goofy
Dean's mood comes based off of you.
If you are serious, he's going to be serious.
If you are submissive, he's going to dominate you.
If you are playful and laughing, he's going to try and keep you playful and laughing.
It all depends on how you are responding to him.
H = Hair
Dean is pretty well-groomed.
He's not clean-shaven
but he does keep it cleaned and under control.
I = Intimacy
Dean can be pretty romantic at times.
He's one for wooing a girl.
For you, if he's been seeing you regularly and you aren't just a fling
it can be as simple as flowers and dinner
to the little touches and affections that he showers you with.
He's on to tell you that he loves you
and often, even during sex.
This is partly because he doesn't know if he's always coming home.
So he always wants to make sure you know.
He worships your body and often leaves love marks on it.
Be it fingertip bruises or a hickey, he wants you to know that you are his when you see it.
J = Jack off
When you aren't around, this is obvious.
But he's always thinking about you.
When he's alone in the hotel room, he will use the pictures (or video) he's taken of you on his phone.
Shower time is often spent thinking about you.
And he tries so hard to be quiet, but after some point, his grunts and groans are leaving the bathroom rather loudly.
When he grips himself, it's tightly, to try and make it feel like how tight you get around him.
He often fucks his hand hard and fast and imagines you taking in all of his length and width with such a deep need for him.
He likes to think about you worshiping his cock.
In the end, he finishes and imagines you taking all of his cum, preferably inside you.
K = Kink
Dean is actually a pretty kinky guy, but he never really viewed himself as kinky, it was pretty normal for him.
He very Dom. Loves to be in control of you. Especially in bed.
Bondage is always a bonus.
His favorite thing though, he has loves to have sex with you in front of mirrors because he loves to see every bit of you and watch his cock going in and out of you.
If you are willing to lick his cum off a mirror, he'd probably marry you.
He's got a bit of a daddy kink too. He likes the connection that comes with it and how you depend on him. Finds it actually to be pretty intimate.
L = Location
Dean actually doesn't have a favorite location.
He's constantly moving around a lot, so it never crosses his mind.
What matters is that he's with you!
That is really all he wants.
So I guess it's safe to say that you are his favorite location.
M = Motivation
Be verbal with him!
Seriously, praise him.
Tell him how good he feels, how much you love how he fills you, that you need to feel him cum.
This will drive him crazy!
Bite at your lip, he is always watching you when you do that.
Wear something just for him and something that he knows is just for him.
Be naked for him when he gets him.
Naked and kneeling for him.
This really brings out the dom in him.
He'll take control immediately.
N = No
Anything Dean does to you, has to be consensual.
Now, Demon Dean, that is a different story.
But Dean, he's not going to hurt you without consent.
He won't abuse you.
He follows the safewords.
While he will degrade you for a degradation kink, he won't degrade your body because he loves it.
He likes to hear you in pain, but only a good kind of pain. If he feels he's hurting you in a way that you don't like or didn't agree to, he will stop.
He will always stop when he needs to and take care of you!
O = Oral
If you are giving him oral sex, he loves it.
Like the man is easy to please, crawl under that table while he's doing research on a case and he will happily let you distract him.
Giving you oral sex is a little more of a treat for you.
He loves to taste you, especially if you taste like fruit or sweet.
He will take his time on you, go slow, his tongue will go over every little bit of your pussy.
He will suck on your clit.
And he will slide his fingers in while he does it.
And if you cum, he will keep going or he's going to stick his cock in you.
Either way, you won't be done.
P = Pace
His pace depends on the mood of the sex.
Sometimes he's going to be quick and rough, slamming into you until the headboard is smacking into the wall and you are screaming for him to not stop.
Other times he's going to be slow and take his time.
He's going to cherish those moments.
He wants you to feel every bit of him as slow as possible until you are begging him to fuck you harder and faster.
Q = Quickie
Quickies are never out of the question.
And they actually happen pretty often.
If Sammy goes out for food: quickie.
Before leaving for a hunt: quickie.
Shower in the morning: quickie.
Get the picture? He loves your body and wants it all the time.
R = Risk
He can be kind of experimental in general.
but with you, it's all about what you.
if you want to try something new, he will do it.
Sex in Baby? He'll drive somewhere nice.
Wanna fuck in the bar bathroom after drinks? He'll lead the way.
Wanna play with some rope and a kife? He'll make a run out to the car.
S = Stamina
This boy has all the stamina!
He can keep going and going for hours.
The only time he's going to stop is to hydrate and get a snack.
This also includes taking care of you, cause he can't keep going if you aren't taken care of.
T = Toys
Dean doesn't really own toys, mostly because he doesn't have a place to keep them.
But he will use what he has on hand if that is your thing.
Are you up for some cable ties, rope, or even some knife play?
If so, then he's your man.
If you bring toys though, he will use them on you.
Not himself, though you may be able to tie his wrists to the bed every once in a while.
If he uses a dildo or a vibrator on you, prepare to be teased about it.
“Aww, Buttercup, what's this? I bet nothing feels as good my cock.”
U = Unfair
Dean can be a bit of a tease.
He likes to get you worked up.
Especially until you are begging him to fuck you.
And trust me, he wants to hear you beg for it.
V = Volume
He's loud if you are loud.
He likes to match your volume.
Dean is a very auditory kind of guy, it's not as enjoyable for him if he can't hear you.
He wants to hear you moan and beg.
And in return, he will groan, moan, and tease you.
He doesn't care if someone is around, he wants a reason to make some noise.
W = Wild card
Katoptronophilia is a stable of sex with Dean.
It means he really likes to fuck in front of mirrors.
It's just not about seeing himself, he wants to see himself inside you.
He wants to see his cock sliding in and out of you.
He wants to see your tits when you are a reverse cowgirl on him.
He always wants a way to see your face when he's pushing his cock all the way inside you.
X = X-ray
Dean is very well endowed.
It's thick and long, and the coloring is just perfect.
The groomed hair makes it look even bigger.
I mean, it's really pleasing to the eye.
It's not often you see a photogenic cock, but he's got one and you damn well have pictures of it on your phone.
Y = Yearning
His sex drive is pretty consistent.
It's not difficult for you to turn him on, so you tend to use that to your advantage.
If you have a high sex drive, he will match that too.
He loves a woman that is crazy for him and spontaneous about their sex.
But he also likes routine with it.
Regular sex before bed? He loves it.
Z = Zzz
Falling asleep after sex also depends on the day and the type of sex.
If he's had a long day and the dom in him used you to release that stress, chances are after your aftercare, he will fall asleep with you in his arms.
On other days, he will be wide awake.
That usually means, grabbing a burger and some beer after.
Or round two, if he feels like he could keep going.
Regardless, in the end, he always takes the time to admire you.
He wants to love you and let you know that he loves you.
Even if it means just laying in bed and holding each other naked for a little bit.

Popular BL opinions
Here's a running list of popular bl opinions so y'all can stop saying they're unpopular just for clout. Also, gonna include my own perspective on some of them in red.
Thai BLs are quantity over quality (or, alternatively: Thai BL sucks). Most of the time when people say this, they're also kpop stans, hype up anything Korean, Japanese, or Chinese and reek of colorism. Either way, Thailand has some of the best BLs out there. And while there is a lot of trash, you can literally say that about any other industry.
Korean BLs are the best. I have not been impressed thus far.
Trapped is the best HIStory story. lmao no.
Stop ordering ship names by top/bottom or using those labels in general.
It's bad/annoying/harmful/etc. when a one guy in the pairing is referred to as the "wife" in the relationship. On the one hand I understand this take, but on the other it just seems like a lot of folks are performative activists who want to seem 'woke' and just say shit just because it sounds good. This point is very nuanced b/c while there is a problem w/misgendering, 1) that's not your place to say something if the character in the story doesn't care, and 2) most of the time y'all just hate it b/c you don't want men to be associated w/femininity.
BLs need more LGBTQ+ representation.
We need more GLs instead of BLs. We do need more GLs but I never understand why these takes come up in unpopular BL opinion threads...
BLs should stop catering to straight women (or, alternatively: straight women who watch BLs are gross/disgusting/etc.). This is a tough topic b/c 1) I don't think all BLs cater to straight women specifically, 2) it's okay for anyone to consume any media as long as it's not harmful (could you imagine telling people they can't watch Asian dramas b/c they're not Asian??), and 3) it again comes from either internalized misogyny of LGBTQ+ women or outright misogyny from MLMs (yes, gay men can be misogynistic). At the same time anyone who fetishizes any media should definitely be called out, I just don't necessarily think this is always the case.
Most BL actors can't act.
Taiwanese BLs are underrated.
Only Philippines has good LGBTQ+ representation.
BLs should stop using actual LGBTQ+ actors as comic relief.
Fanservice is cringey/is bad/should stop.
BL producers should stop pairing the same actors together time and again. I will watch OffGun in anything they make together. I also will watch Gun in anything he does without Off. In fact, one sign of a good actor is that they can act w/the same people in different roles and still convince me that they're a new character every time. Gun can be Third, he can be Rome, he can be Black/White--him acting alongside Off in those roles only amplifies his talent for me. It's cool to see him in other roles, but I don't think he has to stop acting alongside Off if he doesn't want to.
BL producers should stop casting homophobic actors.
Non MLM people shouldn't have opinions on/need to stop consuming BL b/c it's problematic for some reason or another. This is one of the most ridiculous takes to me. I understand if people are being problematic but to categorically deny entire groups of people from consuming a certain type of media b/c they don't represent those characters is idiotic at best. Imagine if we could only watch things where we identified with every aspect of the characters' identity? Not only would all industries besides ones that represent majorities (for example Cishet white couples in the west and Cishet Chinese or Indian couples in the east) die off, but it also denies the complexities of human experience and, ironically, others the very groups we're meant to be embracing into the larger culture. It doesn't help that a lot of MLMs deny their misogyny, racism, colorism, etc. which informs their opinions on these things.
We need more LGBTQ+ BL producers.
Tharntype is bad.
2gether is overrated.
Most BL pairs hate each other. I honestly feel like most of them don't care one way or the other and do it for a check. Speaking specifically on Tay and New, I truly don't believe they actually hate each other. People who hate each other are more subtle in their beef than Tay and New. But more on that another time.
There is a distinct difference between BL and LGBTQ shows.
There needs to be less heteronormativity in BL.
Cherry Magic/ITSAY/Trapped are the god-tier BLs and nothing else touches them. Also, no.
All GMMTV BLs are bad but somehow at the same time Bad Buddy was a subversive masterpiece. GMMTV is what I like to call a mixed bag. They have My Gear and Your Gown but also produced Theory of Love. They give us absolute garbage-tier material but then turn around and produce Not Me. Besides, what other studios have consistently produced bangers? The answer is none. None of them have. Folks act like GMMTV needs to be on the 2000-2010 Pixar type beat when that is a difficult bar to reach. Also, Not Me and Theory of Love are the best GMMTV BLs.
BL shows need to stop demonizing female characters.
BL fans are toxic.
"I can't wait until [INSERT ACTOR HERE] steps out with his wife of 10 years and four healthy children!!" (or, alternatively: "let BL actors have girlfriends!") This opinion is not unpopular and never has been and also reeks of insecurity to some extent (more on this another time). We get it, you support actors as people and don't care about their sexuality/ships. You're a subversive king/queen who wants to see all the delulus weep blah, blah, blah. I 100% agree that any human being should be able to live their life and shouldn't be afraid to lose their status b/c of their relationship. I just think the people who constantly complain about this are annoying. It's a weird double-edged sword where I want actors to feel comfortable living their lives and want the immature fans to stop harassing them for it but I also want the complainers to stop putting bl fans (especially straight women fans) into one group as if everyone is harassing these actors when it seems to be a very small but unfortunately loud group.
University-set BLs are boring (or, alternatively: we need more *mature* BLs).
Let actors leave BL.
If you watch BL and enjoy the sex scenes/physical intimacy, you're toxic/homophobic/fetishizing/etc. lmao do people watch romances for anything other than this? Now this opinion would be heeded if most BLs weren't explicitly romance-based in nature and had plots outside of the romance. But most BLs don't have plot outside of the romance. And while asexual homoromantic people exist, most BLs are explicitly about homosexual romances. Like, do you say the same shit to people who watch other types of romances for the sex? Because 90% of all romances have strong sexual themes. I can't name a single one that doesn't involve or heavily feature sex. That said, fetishism is a real issue in BL. But I don't think this is the right way to frame the issue. We need to find ways to tackle fetishism without assuming that anyone who enjoys any romance for sex is automatically a fetishizer.
Brightwin don't have chemistry. They do, it's just not the chemistry you want to see. See, this is where real fetishism comes into play IMO. People think BW don't have chemistry b/c you can't imagine them having sex (b/c in these people's eyes if 2 men don't look like they wanna bone, they can't be compatible which ruins their fantasy). That said, even Brightwin's bro-chemistry isn't as natural as, say, OffTayArm's chemistry.
No ships are real. Hot take but we'll never know anyway. People who say this typically fall into a few categories (to be discussed at another time)--all of which point to some insecurity they have internally. Either way I don't really care much. I watch dramas for the shows themselves, not necessarily the actors behind them.
You're delulu/cringey if you ship pairings. I honestly do not care if people ship actors as long as they are keeping it out of the actors' faces and not allowing the fantasy to blur reality.
BL is holding Gun/BkPP back. Likewise, GMMTV is holding Singto/Tay/Gun back. This is simultaneously homophobic and incorrect. If these actors could get roles outside of BLs and they wanted to take them, they would. Also, BL is not some lesser industry where actors should aspire to "greater heights" such as straight lakorns/dramas. That's such a fucked way of looking at BL and contributes to the lack of quality BLs w/esteemed actors. As for the GMM take, it's kind of 50/50. Gun and Tay have done some amazing work under the GMMTV brand. But at the same time, it would be interesting to see what they can do in international work or even with other Thai studios.

In Defense of a Black Cyclops
In case my username didn’t make it clear, the single most anticipated visual project for me is the MCU’s interpretation of the X-Men, which hasn’t even been announced yet [officially]. And ladies and gents, I have found your Cyclops:
Tumblr media
Good ol’ Alfred Enoch, who we all know from Harry Potter and How to Get Away With Murder. If you’re not familiar with HTGAWM, know that his character goes from the de facto leader of the ragtag (murderers) and most cherished protege of Viola Davis’ Professor X to taking more of a grimdark turn after his girlfriend’s death. Sound at least somewhat familiar?
Enoch also embodies the physicality of the character well, seeing as to how he’s “slim”, 6′4(!!), black, and notoriously lanky. Wait, one of these isn’t like the others.
In general I hate fancasting. Everyone generally picks from the same pool of about 30 actors (Peeps, neither Taron nor Daniel is a good Wolverine choice. Argue with your mother!), and most all of it is based on physicality, except when it absolutely should be (like say, choosing a ~5′10 dark-skinned black woman for Storm).
And I think there’s some malarkey afoot. I think there needs to be some serious consideration on part of fancasters and actual casting agents alike to rethink race when it comes to the [white] X-Men, especially since they’re the X-Men of all teams. So I’ll make the case for a black Cyclops: 
1. There is no quota on Black X-Men: There’s a bug in your ear that’s been whispering lies to you for years, it says something to the effect of “We need a black person on the team for diversity. How bout Storm?” And you’ve gotten complacent. Storm does not have to be the only black person on your X-Men roster.
2. The X-Men represent diversity: Iceman is gay, Cyclops and Prof. X are disabled (sorta), there are plenty of women, oh and everybody except Storm is white. Of the A-List X-Men, there is only *one* POC character. I’d argue that an MCU X-Men needs to champion diversity like never before.
3. The X-Men represent minority struggle while being mostly white: There’s a cognitive dissonance in the metaphor that has always been there, and for the most part, nobody cares. To appeal to the white readers of the 60′s, the X-Men were all initially white. That way, the message of the mutants could be related to the audience with a familiar face. We don’t need to approach the problem that way in 202?
4. Just because that’s the way it’s always been, doesn’t mean that’s the way it should be: The first line of defense. Sorry, that will never be a good justification for literally any idea. It’s time for some more critical thinking.
5. We don’t all want to be Bishop: So say you’re white and you have a kid who for his birthday having a costume party. You’ve bought some X-Men costumes and you want each kid to pick one. 9 white kids and one black kid show up to your house. As the kids deliberate who gets what costume, be it Cyke or Wolvie or whatever, you yell at everybody to “STOP!”, point to the one black kid and tell him “You’re gonna be Bishop. That’s it, end of story!” 
We don’t all want to be Bishop. The black child could have the best Cyclops interpretation within him, but you’ll never know if you don’t let him try. And that’s no different from the Black actors of Hollywood. There’s no reason why all of the black talent should *have* to compete for the role of Bishop or Storm, which I’ve discussed, while Joe Schmo can walk up and audition for literally anybody he wants.          
Jharrel Jerome is 23 and has an Emmy to his name. He needs to be in the MCU in some capacity, period. Stephan James is another. How bout Damson Idris. Ashton Sanders. But no, no, let’s fancast Dacre Montgomery or Ansel or Joe Keery again as [Human Torch, Wolverine, Iceman, Angel, I’ve literally seen it all.]
6. Nobody wants to see the B-team if it comes down to it. The next line of defense from your racebending naysayers after “That’s the way it’s always been!” is “Well, what about Psylocke, Bishop, Forge and Jubilee?” who are otherwise known as B-tier X-Men. The problem is, we’ve got limited time and limited spots.
So since the X-Men is all about wonky metaphors that make half sense, let me give you another: Let’s say somebody approaches you and says “Hey buddy, I got two free concert tickets for ya! You can either see Michael Jackson Sings the Blues, or you can go see Justin Timberlake. Free of charge!”
Now, are you used to MJ singing the blues? No! Do you have a problem with going to see Justin Timberlake? No, he’s fine on a Wednesday! He had that one little diddy we liked that one time. We’d love to see him eventually! But are you gonna say, “fuck that, I’m going to see MJ Sings the Blues” regardless? Hell yes, because that’s still Michael Jackson. He’s gonna give the same amazing performance he always does, it’s just gonna be the blues. And speaking of blues...
7. Black is not Blue, Brown is not Blue: Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard this one: “I don’t care if you’re black, white, purple, or green, I’m going to treat you all the same!” I will not say all have this intention, but some fancasters have noticed that the racial diversity is kinda low within the A-List X-Men, so they oh-so-generously give the following roles to a black or brown person: Iceman, Nightcrawler, Beast. 
Notice the pattern? It’s a microaggression, and it’s bullshit. What these fancasters are implicitly telling you is that, yes the actors will be black or brown, but when the action starts we can ignore that. They’ll be blue by then. In other words, you in fact do care if they’re purple or green. Nobody will cry foul if Dev Patel gets to play Nightcrawler (because that’s a common one I see), but should Anna Diop be Starfire or Michael B. Jordan be Human Torch, I bet there’d be backlash. Oh wait. If that’s you, please stop acting like you actually value diversity. You don’t want to see black or brown skin, period. Unless of course, it’s Storm (refer to point #1).
But wait, there’s more! When brown characters get whitewashed in these movies, it’s crickets! So eventually it’s revealed implicitly that proclaimers of point #4 only care about it one way.
8. Professor X should not be black if you’re not willing to change anyone else: The next line of defense is that some people say the professor should be black, if anybody HAS to be racebent. Something something MLK Jr., Civil Rights or some shit. Number one, I’m not reducing Professor X to being a magical negro for 9 white people (and Storm!) who for all intents and purposes get to have all the action. Number 2, the Professor X/MLK/Magneto/Malcolm X comparison is an oversimplifying disservice to ALL FOUR of those people. I hate that line whenever I see it, please watch a documentary my friends. 
9. The Candidates for Racebending: For me, the A-List X-Men are Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel, Beast, Wolverine, Storm, Gambit, Rogue, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Kitty Pryde. Now, who should be exempt from the racebending? Storm, she’s our designated minority. Gambit, he’s Cajun and they’re white (generally speaking, that’s a fun bit of research). Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler, because their nationality/ethnicity was the whole point of the Giant-Size premise in the first place. Angel, because his character embodies a privileged white male. Beast and Iceman, I don’t care one way or another (Point #7).
That leaves Cyclops, Rogue, Jean Grey, and Kitty Pryde. Now Jean Grey is a redhead, and we all know that every time a redhead is racebent people sharpen their pitchforks (Mary Jane, Wally West, Iris West), so I will cede the ground on Jean if only so that my ginger friends can get their rep. Kitty Pryde is Jewish, but Jews of color exist. Rogue is from the South. And Cyclops is, well, just Cyclops. That makes those three characters good options for more diversity. But allow me to make the case for Cyclops, specifically.
10. It’s not just diversity for diversity’s sake: If you had to pick who the main character of the X-Men is supposed to be, most would say Cyclops. And so in a series that highlights racial discrimination in society, it makes sense that our main character be black. While changing Cyclops’ skin color should not change who he is as a character, it *should* recontextualize it. Now, as an eventual increasingly radical leader of the X-Men, Cyclops would evoke real life figures such as Colin Kaepernick or, shall I say, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Not that most X-Men fans and writers truly think about what it means to be black anyways. Storm’s minority status is almost always put through the lens of her being a mutant and not her being a black woman. In other words, you can’t argue that making a character black will fundamentally change his or her character when you haven’t even analyzed the racial context of the black character(s) you already have. Another concept that the MCU X-Men should tackle: intersectionality.
11. Representation matters: I have to say it: Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther hit different. And now he is tragically gone. At the end of the day, the MCU moving forward is down its most prominent black male superhero. Which has implications beyond just the movies themselves.
The women are in good hands. Shuri, Okoye, and Nakia are badasses in Wakanda, Valkyrie is ruling Asgard, Storm is almost assuredly on the way, RiRi Williams has already been cast, and Monica Rambeau is here and she’s not even at her most glorious yet. That doesn’t even include variable Δ, or the number of characters who can and will be racebent. And I’ll note again that to me, Gamora doesn’t count, because she’s green (#7 really pisses me off because it’s so blatant. I hate it). Of course from a behind the camera perspective we love black women getting work.
The men are a completely different story. Imma just go out and say it, I can’t stand Falcon and War Machine [in the MCU] because they’re not characters, they’re just two of a slew of MCU minority sidekicks who have essentially been at the beck and call of Captain America and Iron Man, respectively. You cannot tell Falcon’s story without mentioning Cap. The reverse is not true. There’s a whole essay that could be and have been written on “Minorities in the MCU, pre-Black Panther”. Remember, there’s a reason BP made so much noise in the first place.
So excluding those two we have, let’s see, M’Baku, Blade, and Fury who aren’t exactly the most superheroic superheroes, Eli Bradley is proooobably coming, I doubt Miles Morales is coming (because he’s just Peter Parker in the MCU), Luke Cage(?) Bishop(??), Sunspot(???), Blue Marvel(????). Not only are they not A-List, I would not put money on any of them being in the MCU any time soon.
Cyclops is thee Captain America of the X-Men. He’s the frontman. He’s the poster boy. He’s the “boy scout”, which in other words means he’s the hero, if there has to be one. It would mean a lot right now, and specifically *right now*, if he were to be black. The MCU needs it. It NEEDS it.
12. The X-Men is the Summers Story: I’ll even make the case that if just one character needs to racebent, then it should be Cyclops, because that of course implies that other related characters need to be black because half of the X-Men universe is in fact a part of the Summers family. 
So now Cable is black. Corsair is black. Havok is black. And one of the most central stories in the X-Men mythos, the Summers family drama, is now a black family drama set in space or the future or where the fuck ever. The concept is boundary pushing. When white families have drama in the media, it gets to be Game of Thrones or Star Wars, while when black families have drama in the media, it has to be black people arguing in a kitchen or living room about their various earthly traumas (I’m @’ing you, Mr. Perry). I mean, that’s all fine and good often times, but I want my black family drama in space, dammit.
And again, this is the X-Men, the series that’s all about *minorities* and their struggle, so again, why not?
Oh, and I’ll even throw out a Havok fancast for you: How bout Jharrel Jerome?

A-Activities (what do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?)
He loves to watch movies, so one of his favorite things to do with you is take turns picking which movies you’ll watch! He definitely has favorite movies he’ll have you watch with him, and in return he wants to watch all of your favorites too!
B-Beauty (what do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?)
He likes to look into your eyes. He loves how eyes alone can show so many varying expressions, you’ll catch him often looking into your eyes. Maintain eye contact with him...please. 
C-Comfort (how would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack/etc.?)
He’s one of the most comforting beings out there. He’ll have your back, and learn exactly he can help you when you’re feeling down/having a panic attack. Some people need to be touched, some reject touch. He’ll spend enough time with you and have a sit-down about how he can best help you when you’re in one of those moods. 
D-Dreams (how do they picture their future with their s/o?) 
He wants children eventually, but doesn’t care if it’s from his partner or through adoption. It doesn’t really matter to him, he would love an adopted child just as much as if it was his own. So if you didn’t want to have kids yourself, he would respect that and is completely comfortable with the idea of adopting. 
E-Equal (are they the dominant one in their relationship or are they more passive?)
He’s pretty passive, letting you make all the decisions. If it was important, he’d give his input but doesn’t mind if his ideas are shut down.
F-Fight (would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?) 
He is rather quick to forgive unless you really crossed a lot of lines. But he doesn’t like to let negative emotions show, so oftentimes you’ll have no idea he’s upset unless he tells you upfront. 
G-Gratitude (How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?) 
He’s eternally grateful for you. He says it often, never wanting you to think otherwise. He likes to tell you how much you mean to him. He also makes it obvious by remembering your conversations and bringing up your interests whenever possible. You told him you like x a million years ago? He remembers. And will get you something related to what you like. 
H-Honesty (do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?)
He has some secrets, but he prefers to let you know what he’s thinking. Chances are, if he’s keeping something from you he’ll tell you when he’s ready.  
I-Inspiration (Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?)
You both have each other, he’s your rock and you’re his angel. You saved him in a way, and brought determination back into his life just by your being in it.  
J-Jealousy (do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?) 
He doesn’t really get jealous. He trusts you, and knows you wouldn’t do something like cheat on him. He gets concerned if someone is flirting with you, but more because he knows it makes you uncomfortable rather than getting jealous about it. 
K-Kiss (are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?) 
He’s a great kisser. It can be passionate, it can be casual, no matter what kind of kiss it is, he’s good at it. First kiss would be gentle, almost as if he didn't want to hurt you. But after that it would depend on the mood. 
L-Love confession (how would they confess to their s/o?)
You would have to be friends first, and you would notice on the day he confesses that he’s...hesitant. While he doesn’t want to keep his feelings hidden, he’s worried you won’t receive him well. He would have you over to watch a movie...this time a romantic comedy. Not really something he likes, but he figured it would set the mood to confess. At the end of the movie (of which he never said a word during) he would tell you how he feels. He doesn’t outright say it, but beats around the bush for a while before finally coming out and saying he likes you. 
M-Marriage (do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?) 
He wants to get married so bad. Please just let him marry you. It’s all he wants. He would propose on a date (dates are pretty common with him, but usually only movie dates. This time it was a restaurant). He would give a long speech about how much you meant to him, and finally get down on one knee and propose. During the marriage...he’s so...happy. He’s always smiling, looking at you and saying “I knew I made the right choice. You’re meant for me.”
N-Nicknames (what do they call their s/o?) 
He adores getting to call you “love”. It shows his feelings in an obvious way, and says it sometimes even if you’re not there, just when he’s thinking about you he calls you love. It puts a smile on his face every time. 
O-On cloud nine (what are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious to others? How do they express their feelings?)
It’s obvious because he gives a genuine smile a lot. He’s also always holding your hand. In that way, it becomes obvious to others. He likes to express his feelings verbally, always telling you things he loves about you as well as common compliments. 
P-PDA (are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?) 
He’s not one to brag, but he does like to hold your hand. Near constantly. He gives you kisses in public, he doesn’t really care. But only casual kisses, the more passionate ones are reserved for when it’s just you two. 
Q-Quirk (some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship?)
He seems to always know when something’s wrong, sometimes even before you do. It shocks you when he asks if you’re upset when you haven’t outright said anything. He also seems to know when panic attacks are coming and helps you combat them.  
R-Romance (how romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliche or rather creative?) 
He can be very romantic. Less so in public, but still romantic nonetheless. He likes to tell jokes just to make you laugh. In his mind, you look even better when you’re laughing. He knows he’d do anything it takes to make sure you can laugh and have fun. He likes to surprise you with your favorite things, or things relating to your favorites. In that way, he can be both cliche or creative. Depending on what you get. 
S-Support (are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?)
He believes in you more than he even believes in himself. He would do anything to help you achieve your goals. Just give him the word and he’d help with whatever it is. He swells with pride when you’re actively working on something you’re passionate about.  
T-Thrill (do they need to try out new things to spice up their relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?) 
He usually prefers routine, but every once in a while doing something out of the ordinary is fun for him. As long as it makes you happy...he doesn’t really care what you do together. Though if you ever expressed it would be too much, he’d leave with you immediately. 
U-Understanding (how good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?)
He enjoys getting to know you. Your favorite foods, movies, games, colors, anything big or small he likes to know. He can be very empathetic when it comes to you, which means he can easily play off the positive things. Though...it also means when you’re hurting, he’s hurting too. And he’d do anything to put a smile back on your face.  
V-Value (how important is the relationship to them? What’s it worth in comparison to other things in their life?) 
He’s always wanted a forever relationship, and he believes that's what the two of you have. As soon as you’re in love...you’re stuck with him. He would admit he’s wrong, even if he knows he isn't. Anything to keep you with him. He values your relationship above most else, the only thing he would consider above you is his relationship with his sister. If she didn’t like you (once he found her) he would try and make it work. But her opinion of you really matters to him. 
W-Wild Card (a random fluff headcanon)
He has panic attacks, and always seeks you out when he feels the tug of a panic attack starting. Just being in your presence calms him down. He’ll hold you close and won’t let go until it has passed. Your presence is comforting to him, and even if he’s just feeling down, being by you makes it all better.
X-Xoxo (are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?)
He can be very touch starved. He loves cuddling, he likes being the big spoon and feeling your back against his chest. Opposingly, he likes to be the little spoon because it makes him feel secure...safe. He gives kisses pretty frequently too, sometimes he’ll even just look at you with this adoring look on his face and lean in for a kiss. 
Y-Yearning (how will they cope when they’re missing their partner?) 
He lets it be known how much he misses you. He can go for short periods of time, a couple days at most before he’s calling you. If you answer, he’ll keep you on the line all day/night long. If you don’t...he’ll leave a sweet voicemail describing all of his favorite things about you, with jokes in there just so he knows he made you smile. 
Z-Zeal (are they willing to go to great lengths for their relationship? If so, what kind of?)
He’s willing to do just about anything for you. You wanna move countries? Sure, let him get his passport. You want to quit your job to pursue your dreams? He’ll get another job so he can provide for the both of you. As long as you’re waiting for him when he comes home he doesn’t care what he has to do. As long as it makes you happy.

Two questions:
1. What do you feel about CorpsexSykunno ship?
I feel like it's MarkiplierxJacksepticeye all over again, starts out innocent and turns uncomfortable.
(Also I think real people shipping is gross in general)
2. Dream smp makes me so nervous, not necessarily because of any of the members but due to (1) the history of online teams dominated (and lead) by male influencers, (2) minecraft youtube's general history of exploiting fans. I feel like it's going to end badly. You seem to be enjoying it tho, and it's definitely up my alley, should I get into it?
1. Corpse and Sykkuno are not comfortable being shipped! Neither of them are okay with being shipped with ANY of their friends in general, so like, don’t do it, or if u do like. i guess just don’t say anything about it? it’s really not hard to just enjoy their friendship. like it’s an endearing friendship n there’s nothing wrong w liking it. but. nothing more u know. plus both of them have made it clear on several occasions that they’re both straight and my gaydar agrees JFKDKDK like they’re just. Friends. Who care about each other :)
I definitely think it’s not like the markiplier x jacksepticeye situation, because for one u have jack himself telling people not to ship etc etc and also BECAUSE of that u have people actively policing any form of shipping. it’s honestly gotten to the point where it’s annoying but i genuinely don’t think it’s that big a problem, plus the rising popularity of the amigops puts less pressure on one-on-one corpse + sykkuno interactions, since people now wanna see all four of them play games together n not just corpse n sykkuno!
2. I get why Dream SMP would make u nervous. An interesting thing I realized when I started finding out more about people on that server is that there’s marginally more poc on it than I previously thought and also A LOTTTTT more lgbt+ people than i previously thought. Like genuinely why are so many of u so gay. And like that affects the stories being told obviously. Like. I don’t think it’s perfect n I don’t follow EVERY person on the SMP, just like i obviously don’t know everything about every minecraft YouTuber like fkdkdkdk i would say the only people i watch are dream, george, quackity (and even then i haven’t seen most of quackity’s YouTube videos) and like I’ve seen a couple of tommyinnit’s videos Fjdjdjdj and sapnap obviously but he has like 10 videos and i watch Karl’s streams if certain people are on it. yeah i think that’s about it like i do like the feral boys (dream george karl quackity sapnap) and i have seen maybe one or two skeppy videos
Anyway I get ur concerns about online circles dominated by male influencers too. but quite frankly compared to past circles ive seen its genuinely not that bad and also. In terms of holding them accountable, I think mcyttwt makes VERY sure of that (which honestly has devolved into a problem. because privileged haters will dig up stuff on creators that either a. has been addressed properly or b. is just. several years old and i don’t like how minorities are being weaponized. also i cannot stress how little i care that some minecraft YouTuber said the r slur 10 years ago when they literally never do it now. like. i worry so much because so many of these stans who think they’re ‘educating’ are just wearing themselves out n burning themselves out. so many of them are minors too)
but like. the people i am kept up w definitely do take responsibility and accountability. like dream especially gets accused of stuff that’s either fake/not him or something that’s just like out of this world (e.g. accused of queerbaiting. w george. interestingly no one ever accuses george directly of doing this) and no matter what he like addresses it properly and accordingly. like looking at his journey as a creator over the past year he’s grown a LOT and changed so much and matured a lot and i think like. looking at how much he’s blowing up and how much more of a following he’ll gain. I feel much better that it’s him who has this following as compared to. Certain people. And like. It’s upsetting to see how a lot of people have this impression of him that’s objectively false? Due to all the fake stuff that gets spread by haters (most often white for some reason???)? Because genuinely he’s not the creator we need to be so worried about?
Anyway in terms of getting into mcyts in the dream smp. I knew who Dream was because he’s played among us w the amigops a lot n they all like him because he’s just a good natured amicable person. I vaguely knew who george was because of dnf n also people putting his stupid face on my tl all the time. I thought he was pretty n hated that I thought that. I don’t care anymore tho. Like what’s wrong w looking at pretty people. I deserve it. Anyway! I got into their videos through GEORGE first, funnily. I think Minecraft, But I’m Not Colorblind Anymore was the first one I watched and it’s very very good. It’s endearing because it’s George trying out colorblind glasses for the first time n he’s nervous but Dream is there with him to make him feel more comfortable. And also Dream is so happy n emotional (he talks about tearing up at the thought of George being able to see colors properly) and their friendship is just very endearing. The video starts w george taking a colorblind test and we find out he has protan colorblindness (severity: STRONG which makes them crack jokes about how George is SO strong 😤)
anyway these losers. Decide to test the colorblind glasses on colors in MINECRAFT because of course that’s the whole video and it’s really heartwarming to see George learn how colors look like again n Dream just being excited about it the whole time n then George taking the colorblind test again at the end but with the glasses on... n then u go on to watch more george videos but it’s the ANIMAL CHALLENGES. like George Speedruns Minecraft But His Friend Is (Insert Animal, This Animal Is Always Dream) and like...... yeah so I watched a bunch of George’s videos n I went onto dream’s channel out of curiosity
And i was like. What the fuck. These videos are so WEIRDLY named. What the fuck is Finale, Finale Rematch, Grand Finale???? But dream has adhd too and in hindsight I absolutely would’ve titled the videos in a similarly confusing way. Anyway dreams manhunt videos are...... a work of art. I swear to god like even if u don’t know jackshit about minecraft they are very entertaining and weirdly impressive.
Basically in Minecraft Manhunt: Dream has to beat the game, but his friends are there trying to kill him. If they kill him even ONCE, they win n the video ends. He’s allowed to kill them repeatedly though. Manhunt started with one hunter (George, to one’s surprise), then two hunters (Sapnap and George), three (Sapnap, George, BadBoyHalo), and now four (Sapnap, George, BadBoyHalo, Antfrost). The next stage is possibly 5 hunters but idk who is the fifth yet. Anyway the thing that’s so entertaining about minecraft manhunt is:
1) Dream’s Parkour & PVP skills, which he developed and trained over such a short period of time n got REALLY good, it’s satisfying to watch him do risky maneuvers n succeed, the ways he’ll jump from a high place but clutch w either water, blocks, horses, boats, scaffolding, etc, to escape from the hunters
2) Dream’s TRAPS, like he actually does research for possible plans n traps he could do to counter the hunters, since there’s so many of them and only one of him, and he can’t just fight them in combat exclusively, since he’ll lose eventually if he gets ganged up on. I won’t spoil any of his traps, but they’re very good and also very dramatic. It’s amazing
3) The banter and taunting!! The lies and tricks!! They’re all really close so it’s easy for them to crack jokes during a lull where neither party is engaged in a fight, they’re all on the same VC so they can potentially say stuff to trick each other, or they can hear the other team say stuff that gives them an edge
4) The editing. Like the pacing is incredible, and all the bgm used is SO good at setting the atmosphere n making things more tense n exciting etc. like “dream’s manhunt music” is honestly a meme at this point but he actually unironically uses it and it unironically makes the videos better. Also dream edits all the manhunt videos by himself!! he doesn’t hire editors to do it for him or anything
idk what else to say but yeah I watch most of dream n george’s YouTube videos and they’re in most of each other’s videos and I like their dynamic a lot!! Especially since they still have not met in real life but already know they want to like live together (forever, according to George), and it like reminds me of the friendships I have because most of my close friendships have been made online. And like. They remind me that online friendships aren’t actually inferior. That’s it :) sorry this is so long

AAA- Changes of Regret h u r t-!! It was so good,,, qwq If it's alright, may I request the reader being brought back to life post Guanyin Temple? Kinda like a continuation but our poor Xichen finally gets some sort of happiness. Stay safe!<3
Haiii!! I kinda couldn’t resist 😅 I hope you like it! It’s longer than the original!
Side note: Alessia and Scarlett are my OCs! They’re my good ocs ^w^
PART 1 HERE
Word count: 2.4k
Changes of Regret II
“It’s here.” The blue-haired woman mentioned as she tapped on a headstone. There were small wisps around her that lit up the extremely dark cemetery. “(Y/n)’s buried here.”
“Thank you, Alessia.” Scarlett spoke as she touched the large headstone. She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them and smiling. Both women stood back as Alessia waved her hands, causing a burst of energy to destroy the headstone and creating a large opening right above the coffin.
With her magic, Alessia was able to lift the coffin out of its grave and placed it on the ground. She tore the top off, allowing Scarlett to look inside. Her gentle green eyes scanned your features before a smile appeared on her face.
“Perfect.” Reaching down, Scarlett’s hand touched your chest, a golden glow starting to emit from the touch. It glowed brighter and brighter, outshining the wisps Alessia had. The said mage watched from behind, ready to help in case anything went wrong.
Scarlett had been practicing Necromancy for a long while and her ultimate goal was to revive a corpse to its original form. She wanted no negative effects of the summoning which were prone to happen due to the nature of such rituals.
The glow finally started to dim, transferring to Scarlett’s eyes instead. The light was almost blinding in the final moments of the spell. Finally, she pulled away and watched you; Alessia joining seconds later.
“Did it work?” The mage inquired as the two stared down at your form. Your fingers twitched before your eyes shot open, glowing a bright pink before returning to their normal color.
“Yes. It worked.”
***
It had been about two years since you were brought back from the dead. The entirety of that time was given to Scarlett as she took care of you while you recovered. There had been two main problems with being brought to life. One unexpected side effect with bringing someone back to life was the healing process. Yes, even you needed to heal.
The typical healing time depended on the person. Children often took four to five years to fully heal, while adults took one to two. Your healing process lasted a little over a year and a half. You learned how to walk, talk, eat, and co-exist with others. Although it seemed rather simple, you had a very hard time readjusting.
The other problem was the lack of memories. As you started to heal, you realized you knew nothing of the past. Not one memory surfaced the entire time. Alessia had promised once you were fully healed and ready to go, she’d help bring them back. Until then, you only knew one thing. Your name.
Currently, you and Scarlett were making your way to Alessia. You had been fully healed for about three days now and as promised, Alessia wanted to help recover your memories. The walk from Scarlett’s home to Alessia’s was a little over five minutes.
“We’re here.” Scarlett announced, as she entered the home. She never knocked but her friend never seemed to care. Alessia came out and greeted you two with a bright smile.
“Today’s the big day! Are you excited?” You mirrored her smile and nodded, letting her lead you into another room. Scarlett waited outside, knowing this was private matters, and although she was like your mother this entire time, she knew some things were just too personal.
You laid down on the bed that Alessia had prepared while she sat down on the chair beside you.
“Close your eyes and clear your mind.” She instructed as she held her hands over your form. You obeyed her and did your best to not think of anything. Warmth wrapped around your form and your mind started to feel fuzzy. You felt so tired… almost as if you were about to fall asleep. You wanted to warn Alessia, but found yourself too exhausted to do so.
Instead, you fell into a deep slumber. It took a few seconds before you felt your feet hit the ground and when you opened your eyes, you found yourself in an unrecognizable garden. There were many small wisps flying around, some even twirling and dancing around you. You giggled and reached out to touch them, when a particular wisp flew up to you.
It felt so… familiar. To the point where you’d forgotten about the others and followed where it attempted to lead you. You followed it through the garden and to a large door. It was connected to nothing, just a doorframe in the middle of the pathway. The wisp stopped at the door handle and you assumed it wanted you to walk through.
You followed its instructions, entering a forest. As you followed down the path with the wisp, you saw small visions. Were… these your memories?
“Wei Wuxian! Nice to meet you!”
“I’m (y/n)! It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, young master Wei.”
That… was Wei Wuxian. Your best friend… someone you’d give your life for. Literally. You walked up to his transparent figure, his smiling bringing a sense of nostalgia and melancholy to your heart.
The wisp garnered your attention once more and led you further down the path, where you saw another vision.
“You must be (y/n), it’s nice to meet you.”
“Y-you’re Lan Xichen! One of the Twin Jades of Lan!”
His humble chuckle sent a wave of butterflies through your stomach. His handsome smile made your cheeks light up, but his voice made your heart ache. Why? What happened?
You followed the wisp further into the forest, coming upon yet another vision. This… was Wei Wuxian. He seemed… different from the first vision. Why… were you guarding him?
“Stay back!”
“Get away from him, (y/n)! He’s the Yiling Patriarch!”
“I… I know. But I won’t allow you to hurt him!”
What? Who was the Yiling Patriarch? As you thought that, your mind answered your own question. He became the Yiling Patriarch when he was thrown into the Burial Grounds, where he’d go on to invent Demonic Cultivation.
Why… did you defend him?
You placed a hand on your chest and closed your eyes, seeking the answer. No less than two seconds later, you had it.
Loyalty.
You and Wei Wuxian were fiercely loyal to each other. No matter what, Wei Wuxian always protected you and you protected him. You stood by his side, no matter what. Even when Lan Wangji had started to question him, even when he abandoned the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, even when he’d accidentally killed Jin Zixuan, when he’d ultimately lost control of Wen Ning, you were always there to help him. In turn, no matter what, Wei Wuxian strived to keep you safe and sound.
Then what happened? Why did you hurt like this? You knew you died for him… but what happened?
As you continued to follow the wisp, you came across another vision.
“Don’t do this, (y/n)!” Lan Xichen begged, but you’d looked away.
“I’m sorry. I’ve made up my mind. I’m staying with Wei Wuxian… goodbye.”
You watched your transparent figure leave and when you looked at Lan Xichen, you felt your heart shatter. The look of pure agony and pain in his eyes as he watched you leave brought everything back.
That’s right. You’d abandoned your boyfriend because your loyalty to Wei Wuxian was stronger. You knew you’d hurt him, but at the same time you felt he understood. It still hurt to think about.
The further down the path you went, the more memories you unlocked. Towards the end, you found the same door you did at the beginning. The wisp touched the handle and you reached out to touch it. Instead of it walking you through, however, it vanished. You looked back at the forest with solemn eyes before walking through the door.
Who knew your past had been so lonely and broken?
***
“You’re awake.” You blinked to get the haze out of your eyes before looking at Alessia. “Did you recover all your memories?” You nodded as certain memories rushed back at you. Already, your cheerful demeanor had been crushed.
“Did… you see?”
“No, I can’t. I can just help bring them back… but I can tell from your face it wasn’t pretty.” You shook your head and sat up.
“I… have to go see someone. Now.”
“Ok, let’s go.” With that, you three were off. You knew exactly where to go and you hoped he was still there. Your Xichen. It was a long journey, one where you contemplated turning back numerous times. You were scared. What would he say? What would he do? What… would happen to him?
It had been about three years since your death, added with the two years from the recovery period, you had been “dead” for five years. How was Xichen now? Did he move on? Was he married? There had been so much that had happened and the way you died without being able to tell him everything you wanted sent a deep sense of regret through you. But you wouldn’t quit. No, you would see him and you would explain everything to him.
If by the end of it he wanted you to disappear and never return, you would do so. If he wanted you to stay, you would do so. You’d only hoped it would end well and that all of your worries were just that.
“We’re here.” Scarlett announced as she stopped. You three stood at the base of the mountain, one that was so familiar to you even though you hadn’t seen it in your new life. You remembered many memories here, but only one stuck out at you.You looked at the two women behind you who gave you a supportive smile.
“Go on. We’ll be here when you get back.” Alessia smiled, with a little wave.
“Take care and don’t be scared.” Scarlett added, patting your head. You gave them a bright smile and nodded before running off up the stairs. You couldn’t wait any longer. You had to see him.
***
Xichen sat at the table, his eyes glancing over the letter he’d been sent a few days ago. It had been expressing concerns about recent events that had taken place nearby, all relating to demonic activity. He sighed, feeling the stress build up. The paper slipped from his hand and fell onto the ground, but he didn’t care to pick it up.
He stared out the window, seeing a cloud rolling by. Immediately, his mind left from his current concerns and to some fantasy world. He daydreamed about you often. Even now, years later, nothing had changed. Xichen was the same mess as before. He was clumsy, unable to concentrate on anything, and often had to be forced to do any work. Even then, any progress he made was either painstakingly slow or none at all.
Xichen had given up all efforts in trying to heal. He didn’t care. He didn’t want to get better, he didn’t want to move on, he didn’t want to try and become what he used to be. He wanted you and nothing else, unfortunately, he couldn’t have you.
He barely registered the door opening, someone walking in, and sitting down in front of him. He just stared off into the distance as your smiling face came into his mind. He did his best to remember you, never wanting to face the day where he couldn’t recall what you’d looked like.
Finally, a hand waved in front of his face, making him blink back into reality. He sighed and looked at the person in front of him. At the sight, he was immediately startled.
You sat there with a look of concern on your face. You moved a little closer, slowly in fear of him moving away, but he didn’t react at all.
“Are you ok, Xichen?” You… sounded exactly the same.
He’d lost it. Xichen had officially lost it and now he was hallucinating. Great, as if he couldn’t get any worse. But… was that so bad? He’d lost interest in life the day you left him, so what did it matter now?
At least now it felt like you were here, that you were real. When you smiled at him, his heart fluttered like never before. He reached out, his fingers brushing against your cheeks. They were warm.
“(y/n)...” he murmured as he looked over your features repeatedly. If you were a hallucination then that meant you’d disappear soon. He had to make sure he studied every inch of your face before you left him again.
“Xichen… you’ve given up.” You whispered, making him look away shamefully.
“I… don’t care. I don’t want anything. I don’t care for anything. I just needed you.” This is what you’d done to him. You’d taken a powerful, kind, graceful man and turned him into… nothing. Although it wasn’t on purpose, you couldn’t help but feel responsible. Both of you had made mistakes, but this was never the outcome you’d imagined.
You knew Xichen never blamed you, he just wasn’t like that. You were positive even now he didn’t blame you. But you blamed yourself. Someone needed to be held responsible for this...
“I’m here now,” you said, taking his face in your hands, “I’m back so I want you to come back too. I want you to be the same as you were before.” He shook his head with a sad smile.
“You’re not back. You’re… just a hallucination. You’ll disappear and it’ll be like I lost you all over again.”
“I’m real! Look!” You took his hand and placed it on your chest, where he could feel your heart beating. That was… odd. He must’ve really lost it if you were this real.
However, his negative thoughts were crushed when he heard the door open. In ran his brother, Lan Wangji, who stared at you with wide eyes.
“(Y/n)...” he whispered as he fell to his knees beside you. He took you by the shoulders and stared at you with pure shock. “You’re alive… you’re actually alive.” He looked at his brother who seemed to be just as surprised. Up until now, he hasn’t even considered the idea of you actually being alive. He genuinely believed he had gone crazy.
“It’s r-real?” The broken question pained your heart but you nodded. Lan Wangji nodded too, confirming the “hallucination” was indeed real.
