#there is another way to take them (which no one told me about 😐) so i think im gonna switch to that once i finish the one im on rn

[calkale]

you're in stem? whats your job (or what're you studying for)?

Not yet 😔😔😔 hopefully aeronautical engineering but i cant apply until next year. Im taking high school courses right now because i focused on photography for my last two years of high school then completely lost interest in it so now i have to do all the “harder” classes i didn’t take so i meet the requirements

[starsscarmyceiling]

have you finished battle scars? 😐

Oh damn nonnie. I mean sit the fuck down and get comfortable because I have a lot of feelings on this. Please keep in mind that these are my opinions and takes. I am not looking to fight or argue. If your experience differs from mine and you have different opinions, you are still totally valid.

Alright my babies, let's get into it...

It’s difficult. I feel like I—well, have a lot of feelings, like I said. And upon further contemplation the more time passes (which I know it’s only been out for like a week and a half, but still), the more aspects of it tend to confuse and baffle me.

Because yes, am I happy there was a Merrical implied ending? I mean, of course. What kind of Merrical shipper would I be if I wasn’t? I guess my main frustrations therein lie with the overall story that was told. Because first of all, I thought the story was kind of weak. But Merrin having her moment and being able to process her trauma? Yes. The Mantis, attempting and sorting out the internal issues amongst them? Yes. Cal, attempting to challenge his beliefs of everything he has been taught within the context of this new galaxy? Yes. Merrin and Cal ultimately choosing to stay with each other because they want to? YES.

I understand why Merrin did what she did throughout the book. She was still in a cycle of heavy depression, and there was a vicious cycle of her not having any source to fill herself back up because one, she never had the opportunity to process her trauma (apparently), and two, nor was there an environment that was actively being fostered for her to do so. The Jedi are known of course, to be in line with that toxic positivity, but what frustrated me was all of the juicy potential that we could have had.

What actually bothered me about her so called “development” is that it happened off screen. It was all like, well just take our word, she is like finding all of these things out over here we promise. Because the whole time she was doing this, it was completely dependent on another character that was not Cal, just some random bitch we don’t care about, instead of coming to these things on her own or with someone she has an actual bond with. The way in which these things came about pissed me off so much because she could have had these moments with Cal, whom apparently she had this amazing developed relationship with, of which we never got to actually see. They went back and forth saying the Mantis crew wasn’t touchy feely, but then talked about how her and Cal had all these long, meaningful conversations…so like…what the fuck were these conversations actually about? They never talked about themselves or their traumas at all???? Merrin literally thinks at one point, up until she met Fret, Cal was the only person she felt like she could share things about herself with…but the way in which this was written really doesn’t make me believe that at all. It was just cheaply done like, lol, well just again trust us that these two people have developed relationship here in the interim. It was like, so unsatisfying to read. At no point did they actually show how and why her and Cal grew to care about one another other than us being told they were. That is what I am truly pressed about.

Also, I truly am not a fan of how Cal’s characterization was handled. I feel like he was just written like he was like seven years old or something. Cal can be awkward and aloof, sure…but I feel like this was just taken too far. Not only did he get cucked (in his own fucking BED; idc I will never get over that), but he also got reduced to a seven year old boy that didn’t have nearly as much depth as he could have had. I liked him questioning his ideology, but I felt like these topics were brought up and not really resolved. When I write Cal, I feel like all of the potential lies in using what has already been given to us. I see Cal as someone who is well versed at understanding people’s emotions, an empath, compassionate, protective, and obviously having such a big heart, especially for those he cares about and loves. And is this because of his psychometry? Or just how he is naturally, who knows it could be a combination of both. Think about it, this is a person that has been experiencing what could be complex adult emotions his whole life. And you’re telling me that he’s still that oblivious? Hmm, I don’t think. And wtf he doesn’t feel that many echoes? Mf was going around that whole game feelings those all the fucking time.

If I could quote a frond, @wayfaringjedi, this was a pretty hot take:

“How much stronger would it have been for Cal to confront that he has to allow her to feel anger to heal, and that anger is a useful emotion

How much stronger would it have been for Merrin to realise that safety exists, that she will not be rejected for being herself or being difficult or being angry, that she has her place

How could it have been for Cal to realise that he had made Merrin feel that he was not a safe person to disclose this to? How would that have challenged his ideology?

Or for Merrin to realise her refusal to try to access peace like Cal does is what alienates her from others?”

And honestly, couldn’t have said it better myself. Like, do you know how many amazing fics I've read out there, where it's Merrin and Cal, getting to have these moments in the engine room? Where it's them having pillow talk and growing closer? God this whole thing really felt like a slap in the face I was not prepared for.

These characters weren’t really handled with care. I didn’t hate the whole book, but I just feel like it just could have been better. I am veryyyyy much interested in what’s going to happen in Survivor, I mean we all are, obviously. I was taking comfort in Merrin saying they were probably never going to see Fret again. I really don’t understand why Fret was there. There is a way to create situations and tension and conflict and making important realizations between them without inserting some random purple bitch. Because istfg, if at some point in Survivor, we have to go like pick up Merrin and she is with Fret, I am going to throw my PS5 out the window and scream and rage in the streets. (Respawnnnnn, I know where you live do not TEST me). I am obviously hoping for canon Merrical, which I do think is a distinct possibility. Because if we don’t, then what the fuck was all of that for?

I feel like BS (heh, aptly named) has suffered the TROS problem of not being able to satisfy anyone lol. Okay because who the FUCK is this book for dude?

Because it’s obviously pissed off all the Merricals. We would have never wanted this.

And it doesn’t really satisfy those who don’t ship either because there is so much Merrical subtext.

But, I mean, I do have to say this book did make me grow to love Greez even more. He was 👑💩 the whole fucking time. Throwing shade at Fret throughout, I was living for it. When he went off on Fret after he woke up from getting his arm cut off, I was fucking eating my popcorn like pop offfff. And I cannot emphasize enough how much I loved Cal in his petty jealous area. Obsessed. He deserves it completely like also go off 👑. Him and Greez were my only bright spots throughout this experience. So glad he got to have his moment too when he "I KNOW HOW IT FEELS!" God I love it. We should all just listen to Greez at all times, like yes please let us drop that Fret bitch off on Batuu with a fruit cake bing bang boom.

I also did enjoy the moments between Cere and Cal together really trying to navigate what it means to be a Jedi in this galaxy in this so entirely dangerous climate for them. Glad Cere is embracing her as a Jedi and using the force again. Totally got the foreshadowing of her being in some kind of archives that we saw in the trailer, preserving the ways of the Jedi. Very fitting for her.

And yesss, there were a few cute moments. Those first two chapters were LIT I gotta say. Like TOGETHER THEY WERE THE LIGHT AND THE DARK CAL WAS THE STAR THAT ILLUMINATED HER SHADOW, that did murder me. And the fucking wound cleaning scene, omfg. I know that murdered ALL of us. Jfc.

I also feel like it would have been a lot more interesting for Fret to just be there to betray them. It would have taught Merrin a lesson of not just diving into something with someone that is entirely based on lust. The fact that she got a redemption was idk…just boring to me I guess. And I know I am biased because I don’t like her, but I mean come on I am a feral fucking Merrical over here is anyone surprised???

Okay lol, have I complained enough? Haha I am guessing you knew what you were getting into anon when you came to my ask box. Lol everyone knows I can never stfu. Anyway, hope that satisfied you.

And hm should you guys be looking out on the horizon for something? Well let’s just say I am definitely using all of these feelings that I have and am putting them somewhere 💅🏻

Anyway, I hope all the Merricals out there are having a great day. Meet me at Applebees and we can cry together 💕💕💕

Davie needs glasses!

Dad!Eddie x Mom!Reader

Dad!Eddie masterlist!!

Based on a little conversation I had with @k-k0129 about Davie needing glasses

This is also based a little bit off of my own childhood of wearing those eyepatches to correct my lazy eye!

Tw~ Eyedoctors, Davies afraid of doctors, Light cursing, eye dilation(like with the eye drops), eyepatches, glasses,Davie doesn’t like wearing either all the time cause he’s a kid who even if you explain it to him doesn’t always get it!, uhm Wayne is described wrestling with Eddie to get his eyepatch on, idk let me know if I missed anything!

Eddie knew that when he was younger he should have wore his damn eyepatch, instead he’d fight with Wayne running around the trailer hiding in the cabinet beneath the sink until Wayne would get him out and basically wrestle him down onto the couch before popping the patch over his eye where Eddie would try and pry it off for a good thirty minutes until Wayne would take it off for him after he pouted for another hour and a half.

When Eddie told Wayne about Davie’s eyesight and lazy eye all inherited from Eddie he heard Wayne giggle…he fucking giggled????

“Ohh good luck putting the eyepatch on him son, your behaviors coming back to bite you in the ass ain’t it boy?”

Eddie just scoffs rolling his eyes, “whatever…gonna bring him to my appointment so he sees it isn’t bad, he gave y/n a hard time when she brought him last time.” He mutters.

And he was right. Davie sits in the chair across from him his little legs kicking back and fourth as he watches Eddie tilt his head back when the eye doctor instructs him to.

He can almost see his son flinch when he gets eye drops put in.

“See daddy didn’t cry buddy?” He coax’s trying to get Davie to realize there wasn’t a sign one that Eddie was distressed.

And it had worked, when Davie went in for his eye appointment in the afternoon, he got his eyes dilated like a champ.

“See buddy, that wasn’t bad was it?” Davie shakes his head no, “and now we get to pick out glasses!”

Eddie had held off picking a pair for himself until now so he could pick a pair with Davie.

He picked out a pair that sort of matched with Davies much smaller ones, but before the two could leave he had to get eye patches. Davie had a lazy eye, and one treatment for that(I am basing this off my experience with my lazy eye!) was an eyepatch over your ‘good’ eye for a few hours so the weaker eye could be stimulated.

Eddie remembers wearing them and fucking hating the damn things, they stuck to his forehead to his cheekbone which meant the adhesive got in his eyebrows and it was a nightmare until Wayne took it off and than he was fine and acted like nothing happened(que Wayne sitting there like better now son😐)

So Eddie wanted to at least let him pick out his own eyepatches! So Davie picked a set that were turquoise with little dinosaur print on them.

And on the way home Eddie explained to him what they were for and what their purpose was in the first place.

“And that’s why you’ve got to wear them.” He tells Davie as he parks the van.

“Are you gonna wear them like a good boy?” Eddie asks as he sets down Davie and he nods quickly.

“And I get a treat?” Eddie sighs but nods, if his sweet little boy was going to wear the dreaded eyepatch he might as well get rewarded for them.

Davie runs into the house eyepatches in hand as he runs up to you.

You pick him up settling him into your hip as he tells you about the eyepatches and matching glasses he got with Eddie.

“Davie has to wear glasses?” Lucille asks popping out from around the corner.

“Yea!” Davie tells her a little more excited than what he is, to be honest Davie dreaded the day him and Eddie would have to go to pick up their glasses.

“Be right back!” She tells before disappearing to her room.

“Are you going to put your patch on soon?” You ask Davie as Eddie sets the box of patches on the counter.

He gulps nervously as he nods.

You set him on the counter turning back to what you were making as you let Eddie put his patch on him.

When you turn back you see Davie pouting as the patch is placed on his eye.

“Mama I can’t see nothin!” He tells you as he squints his eye.

“Honey I don’t think that’s going to help you much.” You tell him pushing out the wrinkle he’s created in between his brows.

Eventually him and Eddie go in the living room to color.

Some two weeks later Eddie’s going out with Davie to pick up their glasses, when he gets home he removes his contacts, and wears glasses with Davie who has his eyepatch in underneath his glasses.

Lucille runs into the living room holding up a price of paper, “Davie Davie look!” She practically shouts shoving the paper in her younger brothers face.

“Lucille he can’t see it it’s too close.” You tell her softly.

“Oh right!” She says pulling it back a little as she points at a little drawing, “see Davie he’s got glasses now!”

Okay, so I'm replaying some other PB book and Cas came back to clobber me with thoughts on them, sooo ✌️😐 I have some opinions on what people expressed abt ID and Harlow. Not personal, that's why I am not using the reblog button- I just want to give my two cents (also seeing ppl, in my eyes, misinterpreting one of my fixations hurts physically, but that's u n r e l a t e d)

S O:

1. I saw some ppl expressing negative feelings towards the ID book ending- specifically the turning. And I don't know if I am fully on board with disliking it myself.

I do get that it being non con might be a no-go to many. But idk.

I am most likely biased, as someone who has been dreaming about being "anyone, but myself" tbh. But more importantly: the MC was about to greet the Grim Reaper. And then you have two, still very young and impulsive vampires, with someone who literally gave them hope and a reason to live basically, looking at them about to die. So they made the choice they both thought (and which honestly WAS) the only way for MC to see another day. I get why it might bother others, I just think there's more below the surface.

2. Cas killing that girl in the first chapter and their feelings around all of this. I hadn't been sure how to feel about it, but I gave it some thought. Take it as a headcannon or just a theory, since barely anything is relieved about their past, as of now.

So, I gathered what I know:

Cas hated their life before turning. To the point of losing hope for the future, not caring about themselves, not seeing much point in life pretty much (until MC showed up).

They claim that vampires are their genuine family. They highlight how they care for each other "more than most biological families would".

The above is important while mentioning that they felt weak and alone before as well, until turning and MC moving in.

All of that painted me an important picture (but again, it's just my theory) that perhaps, Cas didn't really have actual friends, but even more, I think when you look closely, it seems that their biological family failed them as well...

When the MC expressed their feelings, simply saying "thank you for being a part of my life" and we see Cas crying while stating that no one else told them that before.

When they cling onto the Venandi coven almost no matter what, because Venandi is their family, real family. Yet, unlike Gabe, they never mention their human family. It's never "I was alone, maybe except my parents" or "despite having a home, not having friends sucked". It is "I was alone. I was weak. I had no one."

So I think, considering the above, it adds to Cas' character that their vampire family that gave them security, friends, home and safety means so much that they would do anything for them. They have known them for decades if I remember correctly, but Cas is still impulsive and, imo, drunk off of not being weak. Being able to get rid of anything and anyone that endangers them and those close.

Because maybe, after finally feeling like others want them, like they finally belong somewhere, they are willing to spill the blood. Because they went through so much misery that the only way you can get their family is out of Harlow's cold, dead hands.

Also I think their hatered for humans comes more from hatered for their past self. That whenever they see any human, they only see themselves that they hoped to burrow (from that convo outside the hospital with "how about we don't talk? It makes it hard to forget" deal). That weak and pathetic human Cas Harlow that wasn't able to fight for themselves, wasn't able to get any friends, that felt like such a failure that no one around them could muster this "thank you for existing" type of sentence that made them cry at the school lab.

All of this would add to the fact that being a vampire meant getting out of that pit of despair they seemed to be in. As they stated a time or two, being a vampire means being alive. Being turned is being born again.

It meant killing human Harlow- human disappointed by other humans, by themselves, by the world, with a clear mental baggage to match-and welcoming vampire Harlow.

A vampire that will do anything it takes to, this time, preserve everything that gives them even an ounce of happiness.

[geroya]

(not sure if this will make sense bec im sleepy i apologize in advance if it's incomprehensible but) i CANNOT stop thinking about xiomara in contrast to zoe. like, specifically about how she's zoe's double but fiercely, viciously wants to live in spite of her existence as a doppelganger being regarded as an error, an anomaly, a bad omen, A Thing Which Was Not Supposed To Happen. & how she is both zoe and not zoe, where they both may line up perfectly and also where their motivations and methods (and, extension, morals) for achieving their goals or simply going through the world diverge. additional tangent -> doppelganger according to wikipedia (I had to look it up to make sure i wasn't confusing i with another word jfdfdhfdj<3) is a "biologically unrelated look alike or body double". thesaurus dot com defines doppelganger as "ghost" and the suggested synonyms are "apparition" "double" and "spirit". which makes me think of associated words -> copy? clone? shade? reflection? shadow? inverse? or, perhaps, zoe 2.0? 2.0 not meaning copy in this case but updated version, new version, Next Generation version. and how any of these interpretations could re-contextualize both the original and the doppelganger (or not). would any of these be applicable to xiomara? also (bonus normal question fdjskfjdsk) what is her favorite food if she has one? (if it's different from zoe's) *KEESES* !!!!!

THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE JO DONT WORRY & IT IS SOOOOOO !!!!

re ur first tangent. ME TOO ME TOOO OH MY GOSH like my brain just keeps running it over and over and over and over. & like, how you said, the way xiomara wants to live so fiercely, so viciously in spite of her status as a double, does it make her like zoe still anyway? & DO xiomara and zoe keep going back to that? do they both look at their hands and go: oh. i'm just LIKE her. & does it make them sick or angry? does it encourage xiomara to distance herself further from zoe by doing things differently and zoe QUITE LITERALLY distancing herself from earth?

xiomara is literally a twisted take on zoe's bright hunger for love and her desire to be recognized, to be seen.

it also just. keeps bringing me back to kya & my head hurts TOO much rn to go off on THAT tangent.

re ur second tangent !!!!! which has me even more !!!!!!!!! (IN ALL CAPS <3)

ALL of those words are fucking. BOUNCING AROUND IN MY HEAD.

ZOE 2.0 LIKE YOU ARE- IM SHAKING. the idea that you cone back from one of THE most harrowing experiences of ur life & your double is THERE & she is THE better you. the better version of you. and the idea that everyone might agree with that. not just strength, power, etc, but she's the better friend, the better sister, the better daughter. sick to my fucking stomach. it's so good bc it works. it fits.

& oh my gosh i forgot bc my migraine but i didnt say it on here, i told beloved nina. that for xio's name, i had the thought that like. what if she found kya's journals (i literally just said i wasnt going to talk about her 😐) xio found journals from when kya was pregnant with zoe & was planning what to name her. & if you remember, kya thought having zoe after keme would fix her postpartum depression. she talks a bit about zoe in these journals being the one to fix it, the one she's hoping & praying will help her make it all better, will be better than keme. & in reading these journals, not only does xio come to WANT the family that existed then (with kya & jiahao, with ximena & yiska, with gran gran, with keme as a big brother), but she falls in love with kya as a mother, & is like. well since ZOE wasn't able to fix it. look at what ZOE's birth did. SHE wasn't the baby who ended up fixing it for kya, but if it had been ME, if it had been ME, maybe i would have been the difference. i would have been better, i would have saved our mother. she would have stayed, she would have loved us, she would have --

and THOSE journals are where xiomara finds her name.

so to answer ur question !! yes! i do think that the idea of xiomara being the 'updated' the 'better' version of zoe DOES fit her. is it true? im not 100% SURE. i think it's contextual, i think it's whoever you ask tbh. i also think that the words like 'reflection' and 'shadow' fit. 'ghost' and 'apparition' are SO much fun too <3

AND FOR UR LAST QUESTION !!! WHAT'S HER FAVORITE FOOD?

have not given it MUCH thought but it IS different than zoe's. she did not get to experience eating ximena's food before the older woman died so she can only fall back on false memories that live in her head of zoe eating it as a kid. however, i think she finds she likes roast chicken and rice. & mangoes <3 also eventually, keme's cooking. like. who WOULDNT....

brock x oc 

2127 words

stella turned her attention away from her book when she saw her phone light up in the corner of her eye, showing that brock had messaged her.

meet me at my dock in 10? 

hmm i don’t know, do i want to?

stell you’re so difficult, just come to the dock please. 

i promise you won’t regret it.

be there in ten😊 

ps.you’re so easy to annoy, mr.sensitive

brock couldn’t help but grin when he saw stella walking down the dock towards him. even though she was in sweatpants and a tank top with her hair pulled up into a bun, he still thought she was the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen. 

“woah do you have gifts for me?” stella said sarcastically when she saw a to-go coffee cup and an extra UND hockey hoodie on brocks lap, accompanied by some fluffy blankets. “told you you wouldn’t regret it, though i am considering not giving these to you because of the comment you made.” stella raised her eyebrows at his words before realizing what he meant, she quickly apologized for her sarcastic comment and sat down on brocks lap, his arm snaking around her waist like a glove. 

“can you just not go to college?” she mumbled quietly into his chest, running her fingers through his blonde hair as the two of them admired the moon reflecting off of the lake. 

“i wish i didn’t have to leave either stell, but we’ll still talk lots and see each other all the time.” stella smiled at the nickname brock has always called her, no one else is allowed to call her that, and brock made sure everyone knew. “yeah i guess.” she frowned at him before taking another sip of her now slightly colder coffee. 

brock couldn’t help but admire how beautiful stella looked, and before he knew it, he was kissing her. it was a soft and slow kiss, the slowest kiss ever probably, but the both of them had been dying to do it for as long as they could remember. neither of them said anything as they pulled away, exchanging a smile before she put her head back on his chest.

and that was four years ago, now brock’s in vancouver, with the canucks and having a great nhl career. and where’s stella? living in a small apartment in seattle, two and a half hours away from brock, missing him even after four years. they only occasionally talk now, those occasions being birthdays, maybe even christmas sometimes but that’s about it. 

she was in so, so much pain. but she could never bring herself to talk about it with anyone, she has very few friends here in seattle anyways. all she does is go to coffee shops, writes in her blog (which is doing surprisingly successful and allowing her to make a living off of it), go for walks in nature, and goes home and spends time by herself. all she wanted to do was talk to brock, hug him one last time, and maybe even kiss him again.

when stella saw that seattle was getting an nhl team, a spark of excitement happened in her brain. “what if i run into brock here?” 

brock knew that stella lived in seattle, he was just always too much of a coward to ask her to hangout or even text her a “how are you doing?”. and stella on the other hand didn’t want to be a bother, she didn’t want to mess with brocks life and possibly mess up how well brock was doing in his career. that’s how much stella means to him.

the day brock feared but looked forward to the most finally came, going to an away game in seattle. even though he had no idea where stella lived or what parts of the city she’s in, he had the feeling he’d run into her, there was no way life was gonna keep them apart. 

brock wanted to walk around the city during their day off before the game, he stumbled upon this coffee shop in downtown seattle, a couple minutes away from his hotel. but little did he know, it was stellas favourite coffee shop to write at, and she was sitting inside, grabbing her coffee and sitting up at the barstools by the window.

brock got his coffee and scanned around the coffee shop, finding the only empty spot to be next to a familiar blonde head but was interrupted by his thoughts when a teenage boy came up to him, asking if he was brock boeser, to which stella heard and froze completely. her heart literally felt like it dropped into her stomach, no, not even her stomach. it had dropped from her body entirely and sunk into the ground, making a giant hole and out into space. she was panicking, she wanted to get up, and run out of the coffee shop as fast as she could. but she couldn’t, it was like someone had glued her to her seat.

all those years that stella spent crying in her bedroom, watching old videos and looking at pictures of them together, wishing she could go back in time and make it all work out, screaming at herself on why she never reached out to brock is all coming to an end. cause she had to face him this time.

not long after, she felt someone sit next to her, she tried so hard to ignore it and not look over but she did eventually, just a little bit so he couldn’t see her face. but it was brock, the same brock she used to stare at for hours while laying with him, just a little bit older, and definitely more mature.

stella contemplated on what to do, should she say nothing? should she say hi? should she get mad at him about not texting her for the past four years?

brock on the other hand was also freaking out, wondering what he had done, wondering if she knew he was here, wondering if he had done the right thing, wondering if he should’ve just walked out.

after all these years, stella still couldn’t do it, she still couldn’t face brock. she started packing her things up, leaving her book behind on purpose, with a glimpse of hope that brock would chase after her and return the book, telling her how much he’s missed her and asking to be back in her life again, like a perfect romantic movie. 

but that wasn’t the case, brock watched her leave, just like how stella watched brock leave their hometown four years ago. all brock wanted to do was talk to stella, but he just couldn’t and he didn’t know why.

and all stella wanted to do was talk to brock, but she just couldn’t bring herself to it. but now stella is two blocks away from the coffee shop, her music slowly getting louder by her panicking and pressing the volume up button on her phone, as her tears start to fill up her eyes and flow out uncontrollably. 

while brock stayed sitting in his seat, bottling up all his emotions knowing this is gonna affect the rest of his day, probably even his week.

“woah, what happened to mr.sensitive over here?” elias joked as he walked into him and brocks hotel room, revealing a sad-looking brock who was sitting on the edge of his bed with his face in his hands. “i saw- never mind, i don't want to talk about it petey.” brock mumbled before looking up at elias. “how about me, you, and a couple of the guys go to a bar and get rid of whatever this is?” elias said and pointed at brock when he emphasized “this”. 

“yeah sure, whatever.” brock sighed as he stood up. “let’s go see who wants to go out.”

surprisingly, most of the young guys on the team said yes, so all of them went for an adventure in the city, trying to find their new bar to visit whenever they are in seattle. everyone had finally settled in their spots and everyone had their drink, nils and elias were talking about some swedish thing like they always are, quinn and jack watching football on one of the tv’s, the rest of the guys talking about something brock couldn’t even bring himself to pay attention to, all he did was sit there, stare at his drink, and tried not to drink it all at once. 

“hey what about that girl over at the bar? go talk to her.” elias pointed to a blonde girl at the bar and raised his eyebrows in excitement trying to get brock to look over. and to his surprise, it was that same blonde head he couldn’t help but stare at in the coffee shop earlier cause he knew exactly who it was. “oh you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.” brock whispered under his breath and drank his glass of whiskey in one big sip. “here we go.” 

brock sat down right next to stella, who was at the bar to attempt to drink all of her sadness away. brock couldn’t speak, at all, and when he’d attempt to say something words wouldn’t even come out of his mouth, he couldn’t even make a noise. stella hid her face behind her hands and snuck a look at brock, she wasn’t expecting him though, her heart started racing again. but she knew that something had to happen this time. 

“stell,” was the first word brock finally forced out of him. but it also had to be stella’s nickname that was only allowed to be used by brock, and she knew, but she didn’t know what to do. there were three things she wanted to do right now, bolt out of this bar and down the street as fast as she could, hug brock and cry into his arms without saying anything, or pretend like nothing ever happened between the two of them and try to be friends again. she chose the second. 

stella looked at brock and immediately threw her arms around him for the tightest hug she’s ever given anyone, and brock gave her the tightest hug he’s ever given anyone as well. meanwhile, there was a very confused group of nhl players, watching one of their closest friends hugging a random girl at the bar who they thought was a stranger. “what the actual fuck is going on quinn.” elias whispered, furrowing his eyebrows together.

“holy fucking shit i missed you.” brock mumbled with his mouth on top of her head before giving her a kiss on it. “me too, we have so much to talk about.” stella said which was muffled by the sweatshirt brock was wearing but brock could still hear. “can we talk somewhere else?” brock asked, not wanting his teammates to see any more of this interaction. “yeah but i don’t wanna let go.” stella said looking up at brock, still hugging each other tightly. “i’m never letting you out of my life, not again.” brock said while smiling at stella. 

all these years they spent missing each other, was finally coming to an end. maybe stella would finally be happy again, maybe brocks hockey playing would be at his best again. all they knew is that they had each other this time, even if their conversation doesn’t work out, there’s no way they’re giving up. 

the two of them ended up going over to stellas apartment, they couldn’t stop apologizing to each other about not reaching out but they quickly forgave each other. they were now sitting on the couch in the living room, cuddling like how they always would. they were like two puzzle pieces, not only did their bodies fit perfectly side by side, they complimented eachothers best parts, and covered up the bad parts.

“hey,” stella said quietly, looking up at brock who responded with a “hmm?”. “i’m sorry about the coffee shop earlier.” stella let out a small laugh at the end of her sentence, brock did as well. “it’s okay,” he smiled. “i have your book by the way, but i’m keeping it.” brock smirked, watching stella give him an annoyed look. “don’t worry, i’ll buy you another copy if you want.” he cut her off as soon as stella opened her mouth. “fine.” stella mouthed, before giving brock a quick peck on his jawline. that was one of the things brock missed most. he squeezed her just a bit tighter for a couple seconds, nuzzling his face into her neck and breathing in her scent. nothing could get him to leave her right now, or maybe even ever again.

tribe nine tier list except i only explain the top 3 because it got too long and i love my faves lol

Kiyoshiro Haneda:

Kiyoshiro has stuck to me since the VERY beginning. He has always been one of, if not, my favourite Tribe Nine character of all time. On some of my socials I legit just have his name as a username.

Although his character seems to be revolving around Sonoda most of the time, you can determine most of his personality if you truly look into his character. Kiyoshiro is a very smart and analytic person when he takes his time to do stuff and not just rush to it like he always rushes to kill Sonoda. He is also a generally good person who wants the best for his - i assume - hometown, even if he takes weird or drastic measures to get to that point, since he has to blend in with the rest if he wants to even survive. But even if he's a good guy he doesn't seem the type to be too optimistic about things, he seems more on the pessimistic side of things. Which makes him all the more realistic given the circumstances of his lifestyle. There is absolutely no insight on his backstory, however, so there's not much to talk about here.

But there's also little things I like about his character, too. For example, he is paaaaaaaaaathetic!! I mean, really, but it's cute honestly. For instance, this guy is afraid of snails!! Can you imagine this. Living in a lawless, chaotic, pollution-filled city full of criminals, where you know you could meet your demise at any point in time... and the thing you're afraid of is snails??

Don't even get me started on the way he can't tell jokes. Like at all. On Kai's birthday he told him a bunch of jokes that were so offensive/unfunny Kai had to pause and look at him like 😐 . IT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY?? Like that guy laughs at everything and nothing all at once. How did it come to this... I'm so curious now I really wanna hear those jokes

And don't even get me started on how insane he is about Sonoda. He sees BUTTERFLIES and starts to think about him because of the design on the back of his coat

(did you know that pattern has significance to Sonoda's character?? because of the butterfly effect in the chaos theory?? Okay well now you do. The GAREKI WAR edit also represents him mostly but also Ota tribe in general, obviously it is their theme so).

It's like the Pavlov's dog experiment, the one where they conditioned the dog to salivate at the sound of a bell if that sound was presented at the same time it was given food. Yeah it's like that but with Kiyo and butterflies/Sonoda.

Anyway, another thing I adore about him is his voice, both in the sub and dub. It fits him perfectly and I think Nozuyama and Zach did amazing jobs. I love both of them but his dubbed voice is sassier and funnier to me. Fav line was ''But just look at me now, carting the goods around like his personal errand boy!'', because it is so ironic that he says that as he is literally doing what Sonoda wants, and I'm assuming this and the robbery/bombing at Setagaya wasn't the first time he's been doing it. You really are an errand boy Kiyo. And the tone he said this in was so fucking funny to me

Oh and his design is absolutely great. He is so ugly especially in the anime version. His shit is so fucked up too. I love him to death he's so cute I wanna squish his cheeks.

Last but not least, his name, Kiyoshiro is also very intriguing to me, because if you look at it's etymology, you'll find that his name quite literally means "Pure Death", which could mean a lot of things. The way I see it, it could be a reference to how he lives his life in Ota as an assassin (Death), but has (Pure) intentions. Maybe I'm looking too much into it but if not then hey that's an awesome detail

Taiga:

On God this guy is the most mentally mistreated character in all of Tribe Nine history. And what I mean by that is how the Minato tribe treats him like a huge joke. Nobody takes him seriously, nobody even tries to help him, nobody praises him (sincerely) when he gets better and treats it like it's a one-time thing when he is actively learning and trying to better himself. The complete opposite effect of how they treat Haru, honestly. I think the Minato tribe doesn't understand the concept of a person changing, because they just took their first impression of Taiga from when they first met and ran with it.

He becomes the butt of the joke very often and I genuinely don't get why the closest thing to snapping he did was tell Haru to fuck off after Haru tried to help him and threw his bat on the ground AFTER he left.

But honestly, when I think about it, it shows how despite being a usually emotionally-driven guy, he can show to be emotionally mature at times. I think he changed this aspect of himself a lot after Shun's death. And even more after he became Hanafuda's pupil and after Ojiro took the crown and changed the rules of XB.

If you study his behaviors after episode 8 (especially in episode 10), you'll understand what I mean by this. He goes from being a man who makes idiotic and selfish decisions and doesn't ask for anybody's advice, to relying on and opening up to people when he needs to and tries his best at helping the people he now cherishes deeply.

I don't have any picture to provide here really just please rewatch the episodes I mentioned!!!

His character growth is just amazing and that's just one of the many things I like about him because with that he is one of the most relatable characters in Tribe Nine to me.

I do believe his backstory should be more looked into though. All we know about Taiga's backstory is that he's been a fisherman most of his life and that he comes from overseas (presumably Ireland? given his accent) to become the "strongest man in the world". That last part feels very loosely written to me and I think should be talked about. I mean come on he is literally the main character alongside Haru. I also believe he is very much implied to be AroAce, given the fact that he refutes many of the romantic/sexual advances that have been made towards him throughout the show. (This could also be read as gay coding, since women are mostly the ones trying to engage with him romantically/sexually but I feel like AroAce describes him more since he doesn't try to get with men in the show either. Or anyone for that matter.) But I won't go too much into it considering it's not explicitly canon (and I doubt it ever will be, sadly) and this is just a sort of headcanon based on stuff that happened in the show. And the things that happen in it can be interpreted differently from person to person. I do however think it's a cool thing about him

Anyway, another thing I liked about him was his short-lived one-sided rivalry with Shun, it was pretty funny to me and they had an awesome dynamic.

Since my explanation was rather brief here's a video of them (I can't download anything in the sub so uh have this compilation from squiddy_t on twt)

Speaking of awesome dynamics, his friendship with Haru is SOOOOO good. When I think about it for a second I don't think they were all that involved with each other much (at least positively) in the beginning of the show, although I did cherish their little interactions from time to time, but once Taiga became stronger after his training and saved Haru from getting killed, that was the start of it all really

Their little duo and everythinggg..!!! I especially loved them in episode 12, their little conversation on their train was so sweet and Taiga trying to comfort Haru after being rejected by Saori at the end made my heart tear up a little.

Ouuughhh I know I said I didn't like Haru but their friendship everything to me.

They are also very silly in the official arts. Taiga always trying to grab something from Haru's hands is so silly to me. Taiga is so silly to me.

Back to just Taiga, his design is cool too, my favourite thing about it is his tattoos. What could they mean?? Maybe he got that as a stylistic choice given he always has his chest out to show off his tattoo even in other outfits he wears.

Edit: Just did a google search. ''Often representing wisdom, freedom, and strength, an Eastern-style dragon tattoo is a symbol of power.'' Yeah pretty much represents him well.

Also many people may not agree on this one but I love his dubbed voice. I think it's a nice detail that Taiga has another accent other than an American accent or whatever. It makes it realistic since he does come from overseas. I also like his sub voice because 1 I'm a big TWEWY fan and he shares the same voice actor as Fret and 2 it fits him very well, maybe I'm also just used to it but there's this spark in his voice I can't really describe that makes it fitting.

Yui Kamiki:

I can't quite explain it completely but she is so interesting to me. I truly hope she makes a comeback in the game and becomes the main antagonist because she is just amazing.

Kamiki is a woman who looks nice and loyal to her co-workers/tribe members, but is rotten and evil-scheming on the inside. The reasons for her trying to govern Neo-Tokyo from the shadows is currently unknown, but I think one of the reasons why might be a hunger for power. The hunger for such power may come from an inner conviction of lack of self worth or a lack of feeling acknowledged that probably stems from something that happened to her in her life, or the fact that she's been just a secretary to the Chiyoda government for so long.

To cut this short, she is a very mysterious character with an extremely mysterious motive for her goals. And I love mystery characters. A lot. Which is why she is on my top 3.

She was already there before the Chiyoda illustration novel came out, and after its release, well lets just say I loved her even more! Kamiki is sketchy and that is my favourite attribute to her because you never know what she might do. Which makes her an amazing antagonist,

With the novel's release, I also was able to a better look on the enemy relationship between her and Kazuki, and I am obsessed with it. They had such an impact on me after reading it that I kept thinking about the both them for weeks. I beg of you to read it even if the translation will probably get messed up a little.

Link: https://tribenine.tokyo/news/873/

I beg of you to read all the novels actually if you think the story of Tribe Nine is lacking in content.

Much like Kiyoshiro and Taiga, I love her voice, both sub and dub. Her voice is soft and smooth and the tone of her voice makes you kinda get that vibe from her that she is up to something somehow. Thank you Amber-Lee and Komatsu. 🙏

Don't even get me started on her design, she rocks both the Chiyoda uniform and the XB gear. Period.

Her carrying a gun is such a nice detail to me. Because she can easily enforce her authority onto others with a simple weapon, which makes her character all the more better. Because even though she is clearly very strong, and even trains for it every single morning, she still wants to ensure she is superior to others.

Her name also fits her in that regard, You see, in Kamiki, the "Kami" (神) part meaning "god/deity" reflects her superiority complex over others. Which I find to be an amazing detail. It fuels my headcanon of her having a God complex at least a little bit. Last but not least I love her appearance in the webtoon more than the anime. And by that I mean her role in it and how she is depicted.

She is more often by Ojiro's side here than in the anime. Which makes you really see her role in the story before her whole ordeal.

With that, this essay is done and over with. Throughout the writing of this I realized how lengthy this post was and decided to only include my top 3. I am exhausted, frankly, but hey at least I'm getting my thoughts out there. I've been mostly quiet about my Tribe Nine opinions for years so it's nice to do so now.

[daaydreamy]

no cuz i really cannot stand him especially recently 😭

like i think maybe a month ago my sister found out that her student loans were maxed out so she had to switch from one degree to a different one which ended up being good for her bc she can get the same kind of jobs but she’ll finish like 2 years earlier BUT when she told him that her loans were maxed out he started freaking out bc she has debt and he apparently didn’t know “how this is supposed to work” if she has so much debt bc he wants to buy a house at some point and that sent my sister into a spiral bc she thought he was gonna break up with her for it and she’s severely attached to this man so that literally would’ve been the end of the world but the thing that gets me!!!! is he litchrally knew that she had student debt when they started dating 😐 like BEEN had it and now all of a sudden he wants to start having a meltdown even tho the issue has not changed like…..we did this for what sir

AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT he kept making up excuses to either not go to work or to come home early like one day he insisted on needing to go home and worried his boss and coworkers enough that they insisted he have my sister go pick him up bc they didn’t want him driving AND U WANNA KNOW WHAT TF HIS PROBLEM WAS⁉️ GAS‼️ HIS POOR WITTLE TUMMY HURT AND HE MADE IT SOUND LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO DROP DEAD ANY SECOND like u rly had to have my sister go all the way there to get u bc u had to fart bitch 😐 but then another time after that like literally only 2 weeks ago he stayed home from work bc he flat out said he hates his job and doesn’t wanna work there anymore AND THEN last week he said he had a migraine but when we showed up at her apartment bc we already had plans with her he was sitting in their room on his laptop playing video games 😐 i thought ur head hurt babes⁉️ like how u gon come at my sister for having debt when u wanna fake sick ur way out of working so u can make money hoe 🤨 and when my mom brought up the fact that he made a huge deal about her debt but is constantly taking days off or leaving early bc he doesn’t like his job my sister just said “yea trust me i know but i if say anything it’ll be a whole thing 🙄” um that sounds like a red flag girlie

and then the last thing is that they take her car eeeeeverywhere and i KNOW he doesn’t pay her back for gas like there’s been so many times where she’s like “i need to get some cash out” and i’ll ask why and it’s bc she owes him for paying for food or something 😐 oh ok but he can act like ur his personal uber and that’s fine?? like her car has no AC right now and a little while ago she was talking about how awful it was to go get groceries bc of the heat and i said “why don’t u just take ryan’s car” and she said “his trunk is too small” so i said “he has a back seat 😐” and she said “oh yea ur right idk” AND THEN when we were at her apartment the same day that he stayed home to play video games bc he had a migraine he went outside and came back in with this HUGE plastic tote that he had where??? IN HIS TRUNK‼️ so i asked my sister “if he can fit that in his trunk why can’t y’all take it to get groceries” and she got mad at me 😋 and then when we met up with them for dinner this past weekend which was just a few days later bc my cousin was visiting and it was her last day they showed up IN HIS CAR so i’m assuming i struck a nerve 🤭

but yea clearly i do not like his ass but likeeee can u even blame me 😭

(oh and one lil extra thing i just remembered is that when we were visiting her at her apartment when he had his “migraine” he ended up playing uno with me and my cousin 😐 and EVERY‼️ SINGLE‼️ TIME‼️ it was his turn he’d just sit there for a little bit and then go “oh is it um…..is it my turn??” YES U STUPID FCK IT GOES IN THE SAME ORDER EVERY TIME HAVE U NEVER PLAYED A SINGLE CARD GAME IN UR LIFE omg i could not handle it and also while we were eating dinner my sister burped and he literally patted her knee and rubbed circles on it like comforting her or something as if she’s a toddler and not literally 27 years old 😐 so that made me wanna scream too)

the way that she already had student debt when they started dating is so…….. girl. 😐 making a fuss all about what???? LITERALLY NOTHING!!!!! literally acted like the world was ending tomorrow like. u knew this already???? this is not new news???? ANYWAY girl anybody could take a stomachache 😐 are u telling me u couldn’t drive bc your stomach hurt 😐 also like this is giving very like kid who faked being sick to not go to school LMFAOOOO u are a grown ass man 🙄 “it’ll be a whole thing” … not even gonna say anything about THAT. also… just use his car???? 😭 and pay her back for gas bitch that’s just rude 🤕 AND I FUCKING HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT OMG!!!!! “is it my turn” YES OH MY GOD PLEASE PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!

baby owemgee that burp was so big 🥺 are u okay baby? 🥺 that was so brave 🥺

[millenialfanfictionaddiction]

Hello fellow millennial! I am doing well! Thanks for asking about me!

I had an idea and idk if anyone else has mentioned this. If they have, then def ignore me. What if Karasuno had a bi 3rd year manager(who is of age, obviously) who was secretly dating Saeko? My bisexual self is in love with Saeko! The best part would be that YN is so sweet and quiet. She just loves her boys so much. Of course she has to deal with the typical Ryu Tanaka and Nishinoya constantly asking her out. The boys all assumed she was this sweet, innocent third year. Then when Saeko shows up one day, just plants the biggest kiss on her, then goes "hey babe, ready for our date night?" I just imagine Ryu and Nishinoya losing their minds. YN's attitude just changes the second she sees Saeko cause she's so in love. She gets loud and her personality comes out so much! I just love the idea of Saeko's craziness being added to the Karasuno team more and if that's in the form of her dating one of their 3rd year managers... then so be it.

-spooky anon

Spooky anons back! Yay!!!

I also love Saeko so much! She brings so much personality to the Karasuno cheer section! Lile what a bunch of misfits they are 😍 which just why I love them!

Please Tanaka would lose his mind if YN was dating his sister. I can just picture it!

"Saeko what are you doing here? This is so embarrassing!" Tanaka

"SAEKO HEY 😍"- Noya and Hinata, our bubbly bbys

"I'm not here for you Ryu so calm your horses! I'm her for Yn"- Saeko, looking for you and spotting you

"Oh hey babe I'll be done in a minute then we can head out!"- YN, viciously waving her hands like a maniac

"Wait 🤚🏻 babe- as in another term for "baby" as in a term of endearment-" Tanaka, taking the round about way to get to the point 🙄

Yn runs over and gives Saeko a big hug and kiss

"Yes Tanaka"- YN

"So- you're dating YN?"- Tanaka pointing at Saeko who nods

And you're dating my sister?"- Tanaka now point at you

Why yes Tanaka, that is how this works 🤨

"What the hell why didn't you tell me?!?!"- Tanaka, freaking out

"I did! I told you I was seeing someone"- Saeko, watching Tanaka roll on the floor

Noya and Hinata are just like 👁👄👁

"You said "someone" Saeko! Not YN!! YN's not someone! YN is YN"- Tanaka, royally freaking out

"That made no sense what so ever"- YN 😐

"My sister gets YN and now my chances with YN are blown"- Tanaka 😭

"To be fair, you didn't really have a chance before Tanaka"- YN 💅🏼

Tanaka 👉🏻🥲 pain

MAYBE I DONT HATE YOU !!

SUMMARY — for as long as you’ve remembered, you’ve always hated bakugo. so why is it, after all these years, your feelings of loathing towards him are turning into something tender?

WARNINGS — none really??

AN — i honestly want to make a part 2 for this but that’s probably not gonna happen lols..

navigation

so, let me get one thing straight

it's not like you hate bakugo,

you just strongly dislike him

and sometimes you want to cave his face in

but ua was holding a prom

because poor 1a has been thru some shit 😔

so people are being asked out to prom left and right

everyone has a date

you decided to go with a boy from general studies

you low-key had a huge crush on him

and when he asked you out, you may or may not have gone back to your dorms and squealed into your pillow 😳

but bakugo still banged on the wall and told you to shut up. hater.

ANyways, so you get all dressed up 😌

lookin good

a whole SNACK

a god(dess)(ex) 😌

liKE DAMN G LEMNE GET THAT SNAP

ahem. sorry. not my fault you so fine.

so the day of the prom is here

everyone's hype

the girls are all dressed up

the boys in suits

ngl, you did have some insecurities with your outfit. you felt like, compared to the other students, you didn't look all that great

which is a lie

but the girls were there to hype you up 😌

because you're their bestie

and god damn it, their bestie is NOT going to feel like trash when they look as good as you do 😤

like, who told you you could go outside looking as good as you look lookin all good going outside? the nerve. the audacity.

your date for the ball told you he didn't have time to pick you up and to just meet him at the ball

kinda sus but go off

bakugo sees you and has to do a double take

because damn

you don't normally look like that 😳🖐🏼

my mans has to take a minute to catch his breath cause you took it away 🙊

but he refuses to let the universe catch him slipping, so he makes a small remark

it's something about your looks but you don't really catch it

you're pissed he brought it up cause you were already feeling so insecure

so you just give him a harsh fucking glare and growl out a, "I hate you."

a common phrase in your "relationship" with bakugo

if you could even call it that

he knows you don't mean it and only say it as a way to tell him he's annoying

but the way you said it this time made him feel like you actually meant it

he doesn't say anything back.

anyways,

you walk with your friend group to where the school is holding the prom

it's not that far but some of the girls already have to take off their heels because god damn they hurt 😭

anyways, so you get there

you're looking around for your date

and oh! there he is!

he's chatting

ok that's normal

then he leans in to the person he's talking to

uhh maybe they can't hear cause the music is loud?

but- oop.

who's that girl he's kissing?

and you kinda feel your heart break a bit

because damn. seeing your crush kiss someone else is another level of hurt

and he really hyped you up

and you got really hype about going

and now :I

so you kind of just go to the bathroom

and lock yourself in a stall

some of the girls saw this and tried to follow you, but you tell them you need some space for a bit

so they let you because sometimes you just need to cry things out and then you're good

#cryingisokay

so you do. you cry for a bit but that's okay because it's healthy to let go of heavy emotions

but now you're just cranky because

wtf bro.

i got all dressed up

lookin like a whole meal

ready to shake some ass

and there you go kissing another girl :I

wack.

but you go out and your date gets to come up to you and is like, "damn g, lookin spicyy."

and you're just like "😐"

and he's like, "why don't we go dance?"

and you're just, "why don't you go dance with the girl you traded spit with, nasty hoe."

and he tries to play it off like he's dumb or sumn

which he is for doin you like that

so you walk away and find mina who went stag with the rest of the bakusquad

and you and her become dates 😌

so the night play out and you try to forget your crush and date basically cheating on you

you have fun with mina

kirishima offered to go "speak" to your date but you tell him not to waste his breath

and kaminari and sero dance with you a lot

sero teaches you some spanish dances because he has spanish blood in him fucking fight me

the night is about to end and the dj announces they'll be playing slow songs for the rest of the night

everyone goes off and pairs with their dates

you just sit on the sidelines, sloshing around the juice in your cup that had definitely been tampered with

mina offered to dance with you

but you tell her to go off and dance with yaomomo

you're a bit bitter about not having anyone to dance with and you kind of come off your high from earlier

the only thing keeping you energized being the alcohol in your drink

you see your crush dancing with the girl he kissed 🙄

and you down the rest of your drink

the alcohol stinging the back of your throat but it felt good

you're just about to leave and walk back to the dorms alone because

damn, looking at all these couples dancing is kind of a slap to the face

but someone steps in front of you

"hey dumbass," bakugo grunts and pulls lightly at the tie around his neck, "come dance with me."

you raise an eyebrow bevause uhm, what?

you had barely see bakugo the entire night

and you weren't surprised, especially with the way you told him you hated him earlier

you hadn't expected him to even look in your direction,

but he holds out a hand for you to take and you kind of stare at it like it's a fucking alien

and he gets impatient

because this is bakugo

"well what are you waiting for, dumbass?"

". . ."

normally you would have made some snarky remark and ask him where his date was,

but taking one last glance at your crush, you think

what's the worst that could happen?

so you take his hand and you both get to the dance floor just as a new song is starting

so you're both slow dancing, barely leaving and room for jesus

you haven't spoke a word since you got there

but it's not awkward at all

surprisingly

you're actually really enjoying yourself and poke fun at bakugo each time he steps on your toes

he'll never tell you he did it on purpose just to see you laugh and your eyes light up with a sarcastic remark you thought of

"he's a dumbass"

you look up at him with a bit of surprise

you could see him looking over your shoulder a bit and you turn around

your crush is staring at the both of you

more specifically bakugo with a small glare

for what reason? you don't know.

but you do know he has no reason glaring when he was the one to blow you off

but you're over him so you just roll your eyes and turn back around

"yeah, i know. . ." you say with a little sigh.

because despite knowing your worth and knowing you deserve so much better than him,

it still hurt and you could feel your insecurities bubble back up

you feel a tap on the bottom of your chin and you look up at bakugo

his eyes are uncharacteristically soft and he comes closer, his chin almost resting on your shoulder and you could feel the warmth of his breath tickle your ear, the cinnamon scent of his cologne overwhelming your senses; but in a good way.

"he doesn't know what he's missing out on."

your breath hitched as he pulled away

you looked up at him with wide surprised eyes.

and maybe it was the alcohol in your drink, or the way the soft shine of the fairy lights the staff hung enhanced every sharp curve of his face, or the way his hand suddenly felt a lot warmer in yours, or the way you could feel his breath fan onto your nose, or the way pink dusted his cheeks as it did the sky during sunrise,

but he looked absolutely beautiful.

the two of you continued to dance as you started into each other's eyes

and while you always hated his eyes because they held so much contempt and anger,

his eyes no longer resembled jagged cuts and thick blood spilling from your skin,

but they looked like a warm fire on a cold winter day

the longer you stared into them, you could feel yourself grow hotter and hotter and you were afraid you would catch on fire.

but if it were his eyes that lit you a blaze, then you wouldn't mind it one bit.

the song ended with a long slow chord and the two of you slowly let each other go, finding your way back to your friends who quickly went back to the table you claimed at the beginning of the night to gather their things

the walk back was silent

the two of you lagged behind the rest,

walking side by side with only the moon lighting your path, it's was silent.

it was silent when the others talked loudly about how great of a night they had

it was silent when one of the girls whined about her feet hurting and one of the boys offering to carry heron his back

it was silent when the door to the dorms let out a loud screech that had everyone groaning

it was silent as everyone made their way up the stairs and to their own separate dorms wanting to sleep the night away.

it was silent as the two of you lingered in the common room

neither of you made an effort to break the silence and you were just fine with that

you were the first to move, the alcohol starting to hit you and your head throbbing from the loud music

the stairs creaked under your feet and you could feel bakugo's eyes on the back of your figure

right as he was about to turn away and go get something to eat in the kitchen, bakugo heard his name being called

you smiled softly at him from the top of the stairs, and you could see his eyes widen a bit in surprise

"maybe i don't hate you."

and with that, you continued your way to your room, hoping to sleep the effect of the alcohol away.

bakugo stared at where you previously stood,

"tch, dumbass..."

and though he wanted to push away these sudden feelings, the small smile that curved onto his face said everything.

HI! I saw you had matchups and wanted to request one for Tokyo Revengers if its not full yet! 🙏 If I am to late please feel free to ignore.

Alright so I am 18 and would like a male matchup if that's all good! My zodiac is Taurus and my mbti is ISTJ. My personality depends on who I am around. Usually when I am alone or around people I don't know I mind my business and keep to myself. I also just don't have the social battery to talk a lot with new people so since I am pretty quiet I have been told I have a RBF.💀 Besides that when I am around people I like or know I am pretty talkative and always being dumb. I am super sarcastic and cracking jokes that low key ain't even funny. I am a big introvert but don't mind doing things as long as I got 1 person I really trust. For example if a person I hung out with in only classes asked to go hiking together I would say no but if a good friend of mine asked id say yes. I also have a awful sense of humor like literally among us memes got me laughing but down to it I laugh at like everything. I am also not very open and don't really like it when people are with me because I am honestly not a very emotional person. That being said I take a lot of my troubles and deal with them on my own. I am super stubborn and will not let people help me because I feel like if people do they always want something in return which doesn't sit right with me. I tend to push people away a lot and have a big don't care attitude. Like if someone says they don't like me im not the type to sit around and be sad. Im more the type that just doesn't care and kinda say ok?? y do I care??

Things that I like is a balance of fun energetic things and chill things. for example I love things like festivals, fairs, carnivals, or big events. But that doesn't mean I like them all the time because I like doing chill things like listening to music, watching horror movies, baking something, or even just laying in bed. Something I really love though is the thought of traveling. I always wanted to travel and see different attractions or even the different foods people eat. I also love writing stories and telling them to people that seem to actually be interested. As for some thing I don't like there's only a couple. I don't like it when people tell me what to do or how to handle things. I also hate people that are just to sensitive. Like I love joking and messing with people but if I say a sarcastic remark and they take it to heart 😐 like just don't talk to me. I also don't like people that cancel last min or even like change the plans we made just to fit in something else that we didn't even agree on.

I don't have a lot of hobbies but there's plenty of things I like to do. I like to go on long drive at night and just blast music. I like laying on the grass and staring at the stars. I also really love doing things like decorating for the holidays.

I am pretty short being 5'1 and am on the chubby side. I have long curly brown hair and out grown bangs. I have pretty good skin but super small lips. 😭 My eyes are also brown. For general clothing is always oversized. I love wearing clothes that don't even touch my skin because there pretty big.

Alright so what I look for in a partner is just someone that is honestly like my best friend. I am a pretty blunt person so I want someone that isn't going to get hurt if I make a sarcastic mark like a friend would. I just want someone who I can be myself around and not feel pressured to act any different way. Like if we are going to eat I don't want to feel like I gotta order a salad to keep my figure to his standers like nah bruh get me a burger. 🙏 I want to be able to laugh about stupid stuff with them and just have fun. I also want them to be there for me because even if I push people away in reality I kinda hope someone stays even though that literally makes no sense. Another thing that is embarrassing is that even if I have a big don't are personality I get flustered by literally anything. Like someone goes to hold my hand and my face turning red. I am super prideful so if that was to happen I would pull my hand away and be like woooooaaaaahhhhhhh nah bro ur weird. Like its complicated but its just because I feel if they saw they would make fun of me and I would literally never talk to them again. So someone who at the end of the day when we are alone would talk to me about it in a genuine way where they aren't mad but trying to understand kinda. Someone that I can have fun and do things like blasting music in the car, watching horror, going to fairs, and even just exploring new things are all things I want to be able to do with someone I like.

I'm sorry this turned out so long so imma end it here!!

I match you up with . . . . ♡

———๑•̀ᴗ•̀) ̫ ❏ sano shinichiro .ೃ࿐

. . ⇢ [ falling in love . ] ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ☕️ ꒱

Friends to lovers trope!

You guys probably met in school and he kept in touch with you even after high school. Once he likes someone platonically or romantically, he’s gonna go out of his way to keep in touch. After all, they are some of the people he likes and you are no exception

During high school he would always come find you to bother you to have small talk or something. And when you tell your jokes, his dumbass would laugh at them. I see him as a type of person who laughs easily

And when you make sarcastic remarks or joke and mess with him? He suddenly becomes the most dramatic person ever, like holding his heart and staggering back, but you would know he was playing along because there is his stupidly endearing grin all over his face. And after that, he would look at you and you two would just laugh together

It may just be at his really bad acting or the joke. The black dragons don’t really know at this point because you two giggle at everything when you are together

Your friendship is full of laughters and sending each other memes at like 3am

Truth to be told shinichiro probably fell for you early on during the friendship. Though he would hide his feelings in fear of scaring you away. But to the Black Dragon members, his developing feelings towards you are like so obvious

It’s the constant laughter and joy and him being able to be dumb around you that makes him fall. And once he falls, he falls hard

This man isn’t called a simp for no reason

The telltale signs of him having feelings for you are just him being blushy and him perking up whenever your name is mentioned or he hears your voice. Imagine a meerkat standing up and that’s what shinichiro looks like

The only thing that’s stopping this simp from confessing is the friendship both of you have. He doesn’t want to risk it because he truly treasures it dearly. He loves being able to be his dumb self instead of playing the older brother role to Mikey and Emma or the leader of the most legendary gang.

He has a break from both of those roles when he is with you and he doesn’t want to lose that.

. . ⇢ [ confessing . ] ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ☕️ ꒱

His confession will play out in one of two ways

1. Emma, Mikey, and baji being so sick of Shinichiro’s lovesick sighs and woes that they take things to their own hands by being cupids. They would insist shinichiro to invite you over to their house because they “miss you”

And shinichiro doesn’t miss the opportunity to invite his friend/crush over.

Now, Emma has this whole plan planned out in her head and she expects shinichiro and baji to follow it to the T. But does that happen? No. Of course not. It’s Mikey we are talking about. So when you say down on the living room, Mikey would probably just blurt out “shin-nii like you. Not in a friend way.”

And shinichiro would be so embarrassed. And Emma would be there facepalming and throwing a taiyaki straight into his mouth and saying “Mikey!!!! You messed up my plans how dare you?????” Yeah Mikey is a rascal

But the other scenario? Ah yes. It consists of black dragons being the Cupid this time. Again, they would be so sick of Shinichiro’s woes and sad soliloquys about his love for you that they just be like “hey! Shinichiro needs to talk to you about something!”

And Shinichiro would be like “hold up. What are you plotting?” And takeomi would just roughly SMACK his back forward towards you and just have a smile. “Just say it you lovesick dumbass!”

Shinichiro would be trying to rub his back and he just gathers every ounce of courage within him. He wasn’t this scared even during his gang days. But he says it somehow. :)))

And when you say yes??? Dramatic Shin is back in action again. Except it’s his genuine expression and no bad acting involved.

You just see his face lighten up and he paces around for a second trying to process everything. And then he would be like “can I hug you?????” It’s up to you to decide if you want that hug or not~

. . ⇢ [ dating . ] ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ☕️ ꒱

Late night car rides or late night motorcycle rides. If you say you want to go on one of those? Just wait like three minutes because he would be in front of your house immediately with a blanket and your fav drink in case you two decide to go stargazing

The jokes and memes and dramatic acting and sarcasm doesn’t stop. The difference is that Shin probably sends those wholesome memes from time to time. And sometimes 3am memeing sessions becomes to hours long talk on the phone

And as annoying as Mikey is, you two will probably vibe well (to shin’s happiness and chagrin why? Well you see, sometimes you two team up your sarcasm and jokes and let Shin be the bit of the joke and just make fun of him together. But shin doesn’t mind. You’ll just get bad dramatic acting.)

Ok ok ok ok ok ur 5’1 and Shin is like 6’0. THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE IS SOOOOOOOO ADORABLEEE U CANT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. And you like oversized hoodies?? PERFECT! Cause shinichiro’s hoodies and basically his entire closet is your free estate

When you wear his hoodies or something, he just takes a moment to hold his heart because it’s just so adorable on you. “I might get a heart attack.” -Shin “Ok. Have fun” - Mikey.

Omg Shin is the type of person who is scared of horror. So when you two are watching a horror movie. He’s just there hugging a pillow or hiding behind you. Bonus points if you purposely scare him because it’s just honestly so entertaining.

Festivals? Carnivals? If you want to go to one, he will take you! And he’s probably gonna attempt to pay for everything if you don’t stop him. This is the same for food too. He doesn’t judge what you eat he only wants you to eat whatever you want

He also likes just lying on the bed with you. He’s gonna fall asleep from time to time though. (And there was one time where Mikey and Emma came and just evil starts to be plot. That day, Shin, took a delivery parcel and he wondered why the delivery man was looking at him weirdly. That was until he looked at the mirror and saw that Emma’s child makeup was on his face. A clown.)

(Meanwhile you three are just laughing as Shinichiro washes his face)

Honestly, something black dragons just sees you two and thinks dumb and dumber (with Shin being dumber of course) because of how silly you two can get together. They dont really judge but they will judge if you two do something really dumb

Shinichiro would also talk about boundaries early on. (At that point he probably knows because of your friendship) He doesn’t want you to feel uncomfortable when he is being touchy. So you two would just have a long talk about what you feel comfortable and uncomfortable with. He will respect them of course he loves you to death

Shinichiro isn’t the type to get mad. You have probably never see him get seriously mad before. He has a lot of patience dealing with the likes of gangs and Mikey’s antics. So you won’t need to worry about him getting mad. He would just want to talk it out in the end though

Also, he would respect your pride and not wanting anyone to help. He may or may not secretly help you though. And if you are really having troubles? He would go and talk to you. He loves you and doesn’t want you to suffer it’s like “if you’re suffering, I am too and I want to help.” He won’t take an active role though seeing as you want to deal with it yourself

And he won’t mind. His arms will always be open to cheer you up or make dumb remarks to make you laugh or sending funny memes to make your day better

Back to fluff, near holidays, he would invite you over to decorate a Christmas tree or anything with him and Mikey and Emma together! And that just means another Shinichiro roast sessions

But anything to make the loves of his lives happy

If you want to travel? Bye Mikey and Emma. See you in a couple of days. He will take you on one after he clears his schedule! (It would probably be within Japan though) And he would research the places before hand and see the local specialities and attractions!

.˚🌙 ༘┊͙ adult!nahoya “smiley” kawata ;

you two are menaces. Like if god forbid someone insults you? Your bluntness and sarcasm combined with his tendency to get into fights will hurt the perpetrator both emotionally and physically. Like you target both. “My s/o is perfect just the way they are I dare you to say that shit again.” He says while giving the person another punch

Oh gosh and when you two watch horror movies together? You two don’t get scared but instead you two are just critiquing the movie’s choice of props or actors and roasting the shit out of them. “Jump scare in 3…2…1… predictable.” “That blood looks so fake.” “Look you can clearly see the strings.”

He loves your independence! He will respect that as well. And if someone infringes on it? He would be in the background, cracking his knuckles. Honestly you two would be a power and intimidating couple. Just imagine your RBF with his eerily threatening smile.

[belphegorbillickin]

🍹 here! Finally sending in the matchup! I yet have to reply to our convo but I'll do that tomorrow. Tell me if I did everything right or not!

Female, she/her, if needed. Firstly? I'm a really shy person, and my shyness tends to show up in many situations. Meeting someone unfamiliar, getting asked to present something, getting complemented, etc. I'm not new to compliments, but I still can't react to them and instead turn red and start mumbling lmao. When meeting people, I get really quiet (altho I do make small talk, surprisingly I usually start bcuz awkward silence is weird), but when I'm familiar with someone, I'm literally the opposite and can go feral. It depends on the person, how close I am to them. When I'm past my shyness I get rlly talkative and jolly, and for some reason I get way bolder too. Despite being shy I've been told I'm easy to talk to, so that's probably because I tend to be friendly lmao.

I've also been nicknamed "the chaotic mom friend" of the group. Mom, as I'm the most sensible one, and people tend to listen to me. I always have to give advice omg, and I'm literally a therapist with everyone ranting to me. I'm also the resourceful one, so often everyone is coming to me to grab something they need. But then I'm chaotic, despite my initial shyness and friendliness, I can be a devil lol. I give the most stupid, slightly worrisome ideas, just for the sake of fun. The good thing is no one other than my friends suspect I'm the culprit. ....I literally broke a whole board at school once and I was put in charge of finding out out who did it :/

I am really friendly and I don't like being rude for no reason, but I do tend to turn really rude in the matter of seconds. I have a quick temper, getting irritated quickly. I don't show it though, I TRY not to, but often I fail or end up being passive aggressive, or just grumpy in general lol. I am sarcastic (usually playfully), but when I'm irritated I tend to send harsh/sarcastic remarks. But when I'm actually mad and not just irritated, I usually try hiding it, which either leads to crying out of frustration lol, or having an outburst. I don't take shit from people, so if someone is being shitty, no matter who they are, my shyness slips and I get extremely rude. I've made people & kids cry because of it lol. The good thing is, I'm easy to cool down. Literally, just crack a joke about my situation and I'll immediately burst out laughing.

I'm also a procrastinator omg, and kind of absent minded at times. My attention flickers from one thing to another, but when I actually decide on completing something, I become really into it and may overwork myself. As for my hobbies, I love creativity. Drawing, painting, crafting, those sorts. I also love reading and writing, wayyy too much. Searching about random things, ranging from learning about a disorder to something as small as diy stationery, I just love knowing about things, no matter how trivial. I absolutely love singing too lmao, but again, due to being unconfident in myself, I hardly enjoy some of my hobbies to their fullest. I don't discuss what I read with others, since no one in my family really reads, and if I start on a new hobby I'm quick to drop it (I literally started learning embroidery then left), esp writing and singing, I prefer keeping it to myself. The only time I ever sing is when I'm alone but idk I'm always caught and it irks me so much 😐 tryna work on my confidence tho, gonna soon volunteer at a small daycare center lol.

As for what type of people I go with, uhhh I don't have a preference! I pretty much bond with any sort of person. It's usually someone who shares my interests and can actually add more than a word in the convo, I love that! (kinda like our long rambles) tldr; someone who isn't DRY and can actually put some effort into a relationship. Someone who respects your boundaries, knows when to and when not to leave you alone. I don't like clingy cases, stuck to me 24/7.

I believe that's all, it got too long wtf I'm so sorry— Oh, but romantic, and side characters are okay, altho I prefer the brothers more. Ily and thank you for this❤️❤️❤️

I'm seeing a lot of similarities with Satan, honestly. And how lucky is it that the Anti-Lucifer League is looking for a devious, yet inconspicuous pranking partner?

Satan is always looking to discuss his latest read as well. Although you may have to fend off a jealous Levi worried that you'll take his place. Luckily he'll be easy to calm down if you join their manga and light novel discussions.

Things might not go so smoothly in the beginning however, as Satan has extremely little patience for those he perceives to be looking down on him.

All it takes is one brutally honest remark about his similarities to Lucifer and it's all over unless Mammon or Lucifer himself are around. He isn't one to let things go until he feels as though he's gotten revenge either.

If you do manage to make it through all of his barbed comments with gritted teeth until he respects you I think the two of you would get along rather well.

He's not someone who needs constant social interaction either, and often prefers to be alone. He'll respect your boundaries so long as you respect his.

Once he has more a connection with you he can tolerate your own temper much more easily, it actually helps him feel as though he understands you and you him a bit better.

You still shouldn't try to extend arguments or keep him removing himself if you value your health, but he doesn't hold it against you unless you purposely go for a low blow.

Even crying out of anger is something he can relate to as much as it embarrasses him to say so. You're more than welcome to try his anger management techniques along with him.

Satan finds controlled release to be the most effective for him personally, but he's curious as to see what you benefit from the most. The brother's innate ability to sense their own sin is rather helpful in that regard.

It's also very helpful in regards to keeping you from bursting out into tears in public, and he manages to steal you or their attention away with tact. Unlike Lucifer who would immediately embarrass you (and has embarrassed Satan in the past) far more than he would help, leaving you looking vulnerable in the process.

Satan prefers to build you up and have you able to stand on your own two feet, although he does also prefer to build you up in his image regardless if you like it or not.

Satan may have far more to say about literature than the other arts, but he'll gladly show off his knowledge and connections if you'd like. If you're lucky you might be able to snag a teaching session with one of Devildom's most famous authors or painters, courtesy of Satan of course. Don't bother trying to say you're not good enough, Satan has the upmost confidence in you.

Although they aren't his biggest interests he typically has at least base knowledge about nearly every hobby, so if you'd like to pick up embroidery again for example Satan would be happy to start along with you.

He's actually a bit of a showboat when it comes to you, eager to show off even his magic in order to see your eyes light up. He's actually fairly patient when it comes to questions, unless they were due to not paying attention of course.

Satan's also surprisingly easy to fluster despite being the closest to Asmodeous. As he's never really been that interested in romance before this is mostly his first time dealing with these feelings and situations. Because of this he understands your shy demeanor and never pushes you too far.

Otherwise Satan is a huge romantic when it comes to courting someone, and yes, he refuses to use any word but courting to refer it. He's not very physical at all at first with the exception of offering an arm, he most likely won't even kiss your hand until at least the third or fourth date.

Don't be surprised if he attempts to reenact an overdramatic scene from his latest novel, just try to let him down easy if that's not your thing.

Other Potential Matches:

Lucifer, rejected due to being very bossy and uptight about pranks, especially those that involve destruction of property or "embarrassing him in front of Diavolo."

I could definitely see it working more than with Levi, but Satan wins out by far imo. He may or may not be a close friend depending on how strict he is and how often Satan interferes. He's happy to discuss the few books he has time to read and get after you when you procrastinate.

He does have a tendency to act like your father however, especially if you start becoming more interested in Satan romantically.

Leviathan, rejected due to being too clingy and taking personal offense at boundaries every single time. Probably better off as a friend than a romantic interest overall.

He's not that interested in most things without a connection to otaku culture or the ocean, but he'll gladly talk your ear off about his interests.
