BOBA MY MOST BELOVED HI. this blog is so cute, its so spiffy here!
your lil ask game is so cute n i love all your thoughts your brain is so big so i humbly offer my selfship with tsukishima. the two of us are the most stubborn sleep deprived uni students you will ever meet. he likes to affectionately bully me and i pout because i can never come up with a good come back. but despite the teasing and slight academic rivalry we care about each other a lot. MWAH ily boba <3 ty <3
u and tsukki like to nap tgt in winter! nothing like it being cold as shit outside , it’s dark at 4:30pm & u are three papers in and exhausted. tsukki loves to wrangle u into bed , limbs draped over u , and push his face into ur hair , mumbling ab how ur just a comfy pillow & thats the only reason why u should nap w him and stop studying now. he loves curling up w u after a long day , esp when it’s lazily snowing outside & you’ve come home from classes . idk idk. winter napping aes 100 w u two
tsukki does admittedly like ice skating . akiteru used to play hockey and he acc taught tsukki how to skate. he likes to skate on the popular rivers downtown bc he likes to people watch & run commentary. (he likes to bet whcih unsteady person on skates will fall first & also critique winter fashion). he likes taking u w him bc 1. he thinks ur cute on skates 2. he gets to hear YOUR commentary 3. he likes to clown how u skate. u clown him back. one of u WILL fall while skating and never live it down & 4. u guys get food after n he likes seeing ur flushed cheeks, ur bright eyes, the way u cup ur warm drink. (also, skating always reminds him of feeling loved & attended to by his brother. & he loves u sm and will never admit it but wants u to feel cared for in these lil moments)
hmm also like . lil coffee dates. ik this is year round but academic aes is u and tsukki sitting by a coffee shop window, it’s snowing outside . ur in his thick quarter zip u stole his morning and he’s wearing a frog hat yamaguchi knit for him that u love to steal. u guys are working quietly. when u take breaks , you’ll hold hands and tsukki will let u steal sips of his drink and banter w u and also help read over ur papers . sometimes when he’s working he’ll wrap his foot around urs just to be assured ur there . also he’ll kiss ur face absentmindedly . it’s second nature to him to love u

Rafe x bimbo!reader yes but what about Rafe x scholar!reader who’s literally an academic weapon. And not Rory Gilmore type of academic weapon; Paris Geller type of academic weapon. She has it all decided. She knows where she wants to go. She knows how she’s going to do it. And she is already two steps ahead of her plans. And not only is she book smart, she’s street smart. Rafe doesn't know how he bagged her, but he did and he’s damn proud of that. He’s her biggest supporter, always being so proud of her when she tells him her insane test results. He drops and picks her up from the library, and always awaits her with her favorite pastries. And you best know he is cheering for her the loudest when she gets the title of ‘valedictorian’. It isn’t “oh my god babe you did it!”, but it’s “of course you did it, if not you, then who? I always knew you could do it.” He’s always showing her off to his friends. “Oh my girlfriend? Yeah she’s in town on semester break. Which college you ask? Harvard, where else?” If she’s staying up late at night to study, he’s staying up with her too. “Babe, you need a break?” “Just ten more minutes…” “Alright bub I’m waiting for you yeah? Don’t overwork yourself please.” He always helps her test herself, hiding his face behind her flashcard as she tells him her answer confidently, and then peering at her with the biggest grin as he kisses her cheek. “Yes, that's absolutely correct babe!” And you best know he’s holding her tight when she feels like she can’t do it anymore, and it’s all too tough. “Oh baby don’t cry yeah? You are so strong and so intelligent, you just need a break. And when you’ll get back, you’ll get back stronger. And you’ll do it. There’s no one I have more faith in than you.”
Bonus: if she’s doing a course which has more male students than female, she’ll come back home grinning telling him she scored better than all the guys in her class. “Of course you did! They’re all little dumb boys, but you, you’re my smart, intelligent girl.”
(wrote this mostly to motivate me 🥲 I am not an academic weapon but unfortunately an academic victim) moodboard inspired by this post!
send me any of your drew/rafe/zach thoughts! (sfw only!)

Olderbf!Ghost Rewarding You, His College Girlfriend, for Getting a Good Grade on Your Paper You've Been Stressing About 🤭
warnings: nsfw below the cut!, praise kink, dom!Simon, afab reader, slight dacryphilia, Simon is talkative and babbles during sex from how blissed out you have him ugh I need him so bad
a/n: Just got a 100 on a paper everyone else in my class said they got horrendous grades on. Feeling like an absolute academic weapon right now.
Tumblr media
You open your grades portal, dreading the grade for your paper you've been so worked up and stressed about. You click on the assignment, turn your face away and look at the screen through one squinted eye.
"100/100"
-
"See I told you you would do amazing. My perfect fucking girl. Stressing your pretty little head for nothing." Simon says into your neck as he fucks you, pushing your legs back with his hands in the bend of your knees.
"Go on, say it sweetheart. Tell me how smart you are."
You look up at Simon through teary eyes as he's pounding into you, every thrust pushing your body further up the couch making your tits bounce.
He has your tank top pushed up above your chest and your panties pulled off with one side on around your thigh. The position he has you in causes your feet covered in your cute fuzzy socks to knock against his shoulders as he fucks you.
"Ah- f- fuck Simon." You pant, the praise overwhelming you and the feeling of Simon's cock stretching you so good, hitting that perfect spot making you cry tears of pleasure. You hold his head in your hands as you touch foreheads, maintaining eye contact through it all.
"C'mon bunny you can do it. Tell me. Who got a perfect score on her paper hm?" Simon coos to you.
"I- I did." You whimper out, trying to keep eye contact with Simon through the blur your tears are causing your eyes.
"Who's a smart girl?"
"Mm- I- fuck- I am." You bite your lip and furrow your brows, letting your head and eyes start to roll back.
Simon grips your jaw, snapping your attention back onto his gaze. "Mhm that's right. Say it again bunny. Say you're my smart, perfect girl."
"I'm your smart- mm- perfect girl." You whine, trying your best to respond while his cock just feels so fucking good inside you.
"That's it. That's my girl." Simon smirks as he continues to pound his thick cock into your fluttering pussy and he reaches down between the two of you to start rubbing your clit and you let out a squeal.
"My fuckin gorgeous girl. So cute when you squeal for me like that. So fuckin good for me. I don't deserve such a perfect, smart little angel." Simon babbles, still fucking you good as he kisses your tears away. "Don't deserve such a cute, tight, little cunt like this one either." He adds, whispering it almost to himself. "But you know what perfect, smart, little angels like you deserve?"
"W- what?" You manage to breathlessly pant out.
Simon leans in close to your ear and pauses his hips thrusting into you, bringing his hand on your clit up to your throat gently.
"They get to cum so hard around my cock until their cunt is a throbbing mess." He whispers through clenched teeth as he brings his hand back down to your clit from your throat, rubbing faster this time and he speeds up his thrusts into you. His vulgar words make you clench around him, causing him to reflexively jerk his hips into you from the stimulation, pulling a moan out of the both of you.
"Fuck Simon. I- I'm gonna fuckin- I'm gonna fucking cum- ah" You whimper in a high pitched voice, feet kicking a little and eyes crossing as your mouth falls open.
"That's it bunny, c'mon. Cum for me. You deserve it for being so fucking smart yeah? For doing such a good job at fucking everything. Fuckin hell you feel so fucking good. Lemme feel that pretty little pussy clench around me." Simon starts to get a little bit more sloppy with his thrusts and starts to ramble on with his words, endless praise pouring out of his mouth, flooding your ears and heart.
As he fucks you faster, messier, and harder, you both start to pant while your orgasms start to quickly build.
"Simon, Simon, Simon, fuck I- I'm cumming I-"
You cross and roll your eyes to the back of your head throwing it back against the couch pillow as you arch your back, pressing your tits into Simon. Your toes curl in your fuzzy socks as you sob, tears of pleasure streaming down your cheeks, your orgasm so intense you feel your pussy spasm and contract so hard around Simon's cock that it triggers his own orgasm.
"Therreee it is. Fuck yeah bunny just like that. Yeah, good fucking girl oh my god, your fuckin pussy is pounding around my cock. Fuck I'm gonna cum. gonna fuckin- ah-"
Simon buries his face into your neck once again as he cums inside you and you feel his warmth fill you. The feeling both intimate and comforting as you two hold each other while you recover from your highs.
After a few seconds, Simon lifts his head and smiles at you, moving your hair out of your face and kissing your hairline.
"I'm so proud of you lovie. I love you so much."
"I love you too Simon." You smile and say as you place your hand on his cheek and rub your thumb over his scars.
You wrap your legs and arms around him pulling him in impossibly closer as you two bask in each other, wondering how you both got so lucky.

The Very First Night
Derek Shepherd x fem!Reader
One Shot
TW: Literally nothing. I’m taking a quick break from Evermore because I am so in love with this man I need to write some fluffy shit for him. No use of Y/N
A/N: This is based around the whole prom episode. I needed some self indulgent fluffiness. Also yes I’m ignoring both Meredith and Addisons existence in relation to Derek. Fight me.
Tumblr media
When the chief announced that Seattle Grace Hospital would be holding a prom, you would have thought he was kidding if he didn’t look so deadly serious.
You made a point not to look at a certain man when he announced it.
Derek Shepherd has made it his ultimate goal to get you on a date with him.
Under any other circumstance, you would have said yes in a heartbeat. Hell, you would have been praying for him to ask the second you met him.
He’s smart, he’s funny, he’s a neurosurgeon for God’s sake, not to mention that he’s absolutely gorgeous.
Derek Shepherd is perfect.
He’s also your boss.
The one and only reason you aren’t leaping at the prospect of a date with him.
The label of “slutty intern sleeping with her boss to get ahead” isn’t an appealing one.
But still, the man is very convincing.
You’re doing charts when he sidles up to you, that smile you always stare at a little too long plastered on his face.
He leans against the counter your working on, watching you while you work.
And desperately try to stay professional when you look at him.
“Do you need something, Dr. Shepherd?” You use his title pointedly, a reminder of the barrier between the two of you.
He couldn’t care less.
“Just some information.” He speaks casually, shrugging as he begins to walk, and you follow him without a second thought.
He’s whittling you down, and you both know it.
“About…?” You try to force a smile off your face, but it’s no use. He’s infectious. His flirting. His smile.
Him.
You’re not somebody who fails. You’re an incredible doctor, you’re going to be an incredible surgeon. You were always considered an academic weapon, acing almost every class you’ve taken.
You don’t fail.
But when it comes to resisting Derek?
You think you’re about to.
“You got any plans for prom?” He speaks smoothly, comfortably, like he’s not a grown man asking a grown woman to the prom.
Like he’s not praying you’ll say yes.
You laugh, looking down at the ground instead of his eyes.
His beautiful eyes.
“I guess I’m coming, but no, I don’t have plans.” You place a special emphasis on plans. You both know what plans means.
A date.
Derek smiles, brushing your side gently, getting you to look back up at him, your gaze softening when you see him.
“Great, I’ll pick you up at nine.” He grins at you, looking very pleased with himself.
You go to speak, and you plan on saying no before you do. Explaining for what feels like the millionth time that nothing can happen between the two of you.
And hating every second of it.
But instead, it’s like your brain does you a favor, and speaks before you can decide what to say.
“Okay.” Your voice is a little breathy, and obviously nervous.
Shock passes over his eyes for a second before the smile on his face grows wider, reaching his eyes and making them sparkle.
Really, how the hell were you supposed to say no to that?
Your hands brush for a moment, his fingers sweeping past yours, sending your heart rate up.
He says something before walking away, but you aren’t really paying attention, more panicking at what you just got yourself into.
You’re going to prom with Derek Shepherd.
You never planned on taking this very seriously. You were just gonna throw on your dress from senior year, slip into some heels, and head back to the hospital.
But now?
Needless to say, you’ll be spending more time getting ready.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Two hours.
You left work early, and spent two damn hours getting ready for the prom.
All because of Derek Shepherd.
He’s the bane of your existence.
You can’t think around him.
You can’t think about much besides him.
When you’re with him, your happier than you’ve ever been.
Everything about him just makes you adore him more. His personality, his talent, his skills, his smile, his laugh, everything.
He might just be the love of your life.
You brush out the carefully placed curls in your hair, watching as they fall over your shoulders in waves. Your old prom dress still fits you, thank God.
The satin fabric hugs your waist, thin straps showing off your collarbone and shoulders.
A slit runs up from the bottom of the flowing skirt of the dress, stopping around the middle of your thigh.
Even you have to admit you look good.
You slip on your heels when you hear a knock at the door, and you swear you feel your heart stop.
You look at the clock by your bed.
9:00 exactly.
He really might be perfect.
Meredith peeks her head into your room, you’re living with her for the time being.
She smiles when she sees you despite how uncomfortable you look.
You haven’t been on a date in months, and you don’t think you’ve been this gussied up in years.
“You look great. I’m sure Derek’s gonna agree.” She teases you, all your friends have known you have a thing for Derek since you started your internship at Seattle Grace.
And now that you finally caved and said yes to a date with him?
You’re gonna be hearing a lot of shit about it tomorrow.
You can’t help but feel like this’ll be worth it.
“Thank you, and shut up.” Meredith laughs at your attitude, heading downstairs to her boyfriend, Finn.
You follow behind her, exhaling nervously before opening the front door to find Derek standing in front of you.
Derek, decked out in a suit and tie.
His hair is perfect, as usual.
And in his hands, a bouquet.
A bouquet of your favorite flowers.
You mentioned it once. A simple, offhand comment. You can’t even remember how it came up. But he did.
He remembered. He cared.
He’s making it really hard for you not to fall in love with him.
For a second you recognized an expression on his face you’re not sure you’ve seen before. He looked nervous. That was before his classic McDreamy smile appeared on his face when he saw you.
“Did I get it right?” He asked, handing you the flowers.
You’re blushing like a schoolgirl, honestly a bit giddy. Here you are, getting flowers, being taken to prom by the most handsome man you’ve ever seen.
You nod, taking them and stepping inside to let Derek in.
“Yeah, yeah you got it right.” You speak quieter than you usually would as you quickly place the flowers in the vase, smiling widely when you feel his eyes glued to your every move.
You turn around to find Derek watching you, a sweet smile on his face, a look in his eyes that means more than just simple attraction.
He admires you carefully, not as a painting, a still, lifeless thing meant for him to enjoy, to examine, to scrutinize.
No.
He admires you like a worshipper in church.
He adores you, and the look in his eyes might as well be a sign around his neck that reads ‘I’m in love with you.’
“You’re beautiful.” His voice is breathy when he speaks, and the words cause a vivid blush to rise on your face.
You utter your thanks shyly, stepping towards him and taking his hand when he offers it. He regains his composure quickly, slipping back into the flirty pattern you two follow.
Still, the basis of it, the reason why all of this is happening.
It’s not flirtation. Not attraction. Not even because you like each other.
It’s more than that.
It’s love.
He leads you to his car, you’ve been in it a couple times before, on the way to dinners you swore weren’t dates, nights spent with one another when you were still adamant on refusing to develop feelings for your boss.
Or, adamant on pretending not to, at least.
The car ride isn’t terribly long, but somewhere in the middle of it, your hand is on the middle console when Derek’s comes down from the wheel, landing on top of yours.
You don’t move, and he takes the opportunity to interlace your fingers, earning a smile from you that makes him wish he could freeze time and stay in this moment forever.
“Thank you, for asking me.” Your voice is barely above a whisper, and you look over at him. His eyes stay glued to the road, but you watch as the corners of his mouth lift to a smile.
“Thank you for saying yes.” He quips back, looking over to you when you stop at a red light.
You laugh for a moment before responding. “It was about damn time.”
The moonlight glistens off his face as he laughs, every detail about him making you fall for him more.
He’s mesmerizing, and you can’t bring yourself to take your gaze off of him.
You’ve got it bad.
“Yeah, it was.” Theres still laughter lingering in his voice when he speaks, and you think you could melt right then and there at the sound of it.
It’s not long after that when you arrive at the hospital. You go to open your door before Derek does so for you, going to the effort of helping you out.
“What a gentlemen.” You say teasingly, letting your hand stay clasped in his as you walk into the hospital.
“I’ve been trying to land a date with you for months, I’m not gonna screw it up now.” He smiles down at you when he speaks, scanning your face. Pieces of hair fall to frame it, and he brings his free hand up to brush them away quickly, knowing the affect it has on you when you blush and look away quickly.
You’re honestly a bit shocked when you see how put together the whole event it, decorations are everywhere, and the lobby has been turned into a dance floor.
You already see a few people you know, the ones that came here with dates are already dancing, and the ones that are alone?
Well, they’re drinking the night away.
You don’t realize where Derek is taking you, too busy looking around, until his arm slips around your waist, and his other hand is holding yours as you’re pressed flush to his chest.
Derek Shepherd just asked you to dance, without saying a word.
“May I?” He’s good at this, and he knows it.
For a brief, insecure moment, you wonder why. You wonder if the reason this is so natural for him is because you’re not the only woman he does it for.
If you’re just a phase.
A tough one to crack.
You worry that he doesn’t feel the same way as you do.
But then, you look him in the eyes, and the softest, the gentle, loving, adoration in his gaze.
Your worries vanish like fog burning away on a summer morning.
“I’m not very good at this.” You warn, smiling sheepishly up at him as he begins to sway you, a grin on his lips.
You’re closer than you’ve ever been. Your free arm is thrown around his neck lazily, and you could melt into his embrace.
He leans down, whispering in your ear, his minty breath fanning over your neck. “I don’t mind.”
You smile when you hear him, laughing sweetly when he continues to dance with you. There’s a few people watching. You and Derek have become a topic of conversation around the hospital ever since he started pursuing you so strongly.
So, pretty much since your first day.
Neither of you seem to mind, to engrossed in each other to care. He hasn’t stopped looking at you this whole night. You’re always stunning, he usually can’t keep his eyes off you when you’re just in your scrubs.
But tonight?
You look like an angel came down to earth.
Derek lifts your arm above your head quickly and spins you, smiling brightly when the sound of your bubbly laughter reaches his ears.
It’s the best thing he’s ever heard.
When he pulls you back in your pressed close to him, touching his chest with yours, staring up into his cerulean eyes. Your breathe mingles as he looks down to you, his gaze flickering to your lips as he does.
Everything else feels like it just disappears. The only thing that matters, the only thing in your world, is the man standing in front of you.
You curse yourself for waiting so long. For always being so damn good. For not letting yourself have this sooner.
Have him sooner.
Every single time he asked you out, you wanted to say yes. But you didn’t, you were too focused on everything you shouldn’t have been.
Colleagues.
Expectations.
Assumptions.
Everything but him.
And now?
You’re done.
So when he leans forward, when his lips brush yours. You close your eyes and let him kiss you, and it makes your knees weak. It rips the air out of your lungs.
It flips your world upside down.
You could have repeated this moment forever and been happy.
You move against him, kissing back, running your hands through his hair. His hands slip further down your waist, coming to rest on the small of your back.
Your forced to pull away as you begin to run out of air, gasping a bit as you do. You press your forehead to Derek’s, smiling widely.
He pulls you in closer, and you bring your head to rest in the crook of his neck, and he sways you back and forth, abandoning any efforts of actually trying to dance.
“You got me.” You whisper, and you feel laughter rumbling in his chest when he hears you.
After all this time, all of the asking, all the flirting, everything.
You let go.
Let go of your worries.
And grabbed on to him.
And you are never, ever, letting go.
A/N: Soooo this is short and kinda cheesy ngl, but I hope y’all liked it.

PAC: What Can You Do to Pass Your Finals?
Hello beautiful people! It is about that time of the year again where us students are struggling to meet deadlines & have to study for the dreadful finals. Well, I’m here to give you all some tips on how to pass your final exams this season. I will be using my True Heart tarot deck for this reading per usual. If you resonate with this reading enough to want to book with me, please read my guidelines and dm me for a reading! Without further ado, please select your academic weapon!
Left-to-Right: Pile 1-3 (Elle Woods, Dionne Davenport, Jade the Brat)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pile 1: I feel like this pile really needs to consider having a study buddy. That would help you tremendously. Doing things like going back and forth to repeat formulas, coming up with sufficient answers for mock trials and practicing for a foreign oral exam with another person can be some of the things that you do. Study dates are absolutely necessary. I feel like you also need to change the scenery. Go somewhere that you’ve never been before, particularly near a body of water. And another thing that you can do to help you achieve academic success is chewing gum while you study. It’s scientifically proven that chewing gum can improve your memory & can boost your test scores (only if you put the effort in though beforehand lmao).
Cards Used: Death, 7 of Cups, Princess of Cups, Knight of Cups.
extras: being by the water. trees. hair twirler. fidget spinner.
Pile Two: I think the best thing that you can do is ask for assistance directly from the source. I feel like this is specifically for those who are struggling in their math or science classes. I get the feeling that you don’t want to take this class ever again. So, you need to get situated and fast. I feel like this pile may be going through a separation/breakup from their partner. It may be affecting your ability to focus on school. But it is best that you not only seek academic guidance from the source, explain your situation to them so that they can understand what you’re going through. They may direct you to some mental help. I feel like another thing that you could do is practice grounding exercises. Surround yourself in nature. Go bicycling or hiking. Go to a conservatory. Lastly, another thing you could do is go for a swim. I feel like you need to get moving. You need to get physical before/while you’re getting ready to study.
Cards Used: 7 of Cups, 9 of Discs, 2 of Cups, Judgment, Queen of Cups, 5 of Cups, Page of Cups.
extras: pull ups. heartburn. feeling helpless. “unusual.”
Pile Three: This pile feels very extreme. It’s a crucial moment in your academic career that could either make or break you, it seems. I think that this finals season determines whether or not you will have to go to summer school or whether you will get into that school. Maybe even going to the next grade or having to retake that particular class. So, you have to buckle in. I am seeing someone crack their knuckles and stretch out their neck. I don’t get the feeling that this is a traditional final. It could be a project or a paper that’s graded harshly. It could also be a collaboration. Whatever it is, I feel like your mother figure could help you a lot with this. She knows more about this subject than you think. Allow her to help. Another thing that can help you is reaching out to people who have done the same project as you in previous years or the semester prior. And lastly, take really good notes from people who are well-versed in this subject. They will come in handy & you won’t regret that you did it.
Cards Used: The Tower, 10 of Discs, The Lovers, The Moon, The Empress.
extras: “it’s gametime.” “appealing.” sweaty hands. marnie. beats headphones. deep breath in & out.

Jack of All Trades (pt 2)
A follow-up to -this- post, with the rest of the party. The Original Request: Hello. If you're willing and have the time, I jumbly request a TLOVM headcannon for the team having an s/o who steals their weapons and tries to figure out to use them. What would their reactions be and would they/how would they teach them to use the weapons?
Percy, Vax, Scanlan & Grog x Reader
Fandom: The Legend of Vox Machina/ Critical Role
Format: Headcanons
Gender Neutral Reader
Masterlist
Some credit to my lovely partner for giving me accurate info about their specific weapons. As well as a discussion on whether or not you can say Percy or Orthax invented Guns. -Finn
Percy
With anyone else in the party, there's a good chance you may have used a weapon like theirs before. But not Percy and his guns. These are his own inventions, new to Tal'Dorei completely.
They are also powered by exploding gunpowder. He is a little bit worried about letting you handle them.
Hearing a gunshot when he isn't causing it is a deep cause of concern for him, please don't steal his guns, just ask.
Percy will absolutely teach you! It's a chance to have his arms around you as he steadies your aim and stance.
He's a very...specific teacher. You have to make sure he doesn't get too wrapped up in the fine details. Keep him on track with how to shoot and he won't get way into the actual mechanics of the hammer of the gun.
Let him watch you shoot after you get the hang of it. He'll start to understand why you like watching him so much.
Vax
This man owns so many knives. He has a full-out collection of daggers. Hugging him is a dangerous prospect because you never know where one is hiding.
And with all the different daggers, it can't be that hard to steal one or two of them. How could he even notice?
Stealing them proves to be surprisingly hard. He doesn't store many of them, they always seem to be on his person.
But once you manage it, it's quite a lot of fun to handle a truly well-made dagger. In a fantasy world like this, every adventurer has held a dagger, but Vax turns it into an art and his tools reflect that.
They are also insanely sharp. Don't get too cocky with them.
He swipes them out of your hands when he finds you with them, and it's obvious just how experienced he is with handling knives. He can twist and spin them without a glance or a nick.
"Well, well, someone's got sticky fingers, hey love?"
He'll teach you how to throw them accurately and how to spin them without hitting your fingers. He will also tease you while you practice before you get the hang of it.
Scanlan
Scanlan doesn't particularly use a weapon! He's fairly strictly a spellcaster.
That being said, his instruments are likely the next best thing, particularly his lute. And that is his baby, best of luck stealing it.
If you ask him, he'll let you play it and he'll teach you during downtime. He will also serenade you for demonstrations.
He'll be annoyed if you take it without asking though. His music is a source of safety for him as much as a source of joy.
Let him teach you songs around the fire at night and serenade him in return. He won't stop smiling for ages.
Grog
Grog has had some...questionable weapons. Perhaps don't borrow Craven's Edge.
But borrowing his axe or his gauntlets is a world of fun. Even if they might not be well weighted for anyone who isn't as strong as he is.
You will quickly realize how much work goes into swinging his axe and it puts his effortless attacks into a very different light for you.
Grog laughs out loud when he sees you using his weapons, but it's full of fondness and affection.
Even if he isn't exactly academically clever, this is his skill set, he knows how to fight and he does it well. So he's a really good teacher as he corrects your stance and grip.
His teaching method also includes encouraging you to just swing at him, so you'll need a bit of courage and faith that you won't hurt him.

Studious Confession
« Done deliberately or with a purpose in mind. »
Yunjin x gn!reader
Fluff
Tumblr media
synopsis - you and your friend yunjin get sidetracked while speed running revisions for finals
wordcount - 1.8K
A/N - save me scholar yunjin, save me…
Tumblr media
Absolute academic weapons.
That’s what you and Yunjin aimed to be when you scheduled a study session at your campus library. Exam season was breathing down your necks, and you ignored it for as long as you could, taking each other on the most impromptu hang-outs instead.
Convenience store runs that lead to mukbangs, walks around campus that somehow turned into treetop adventures, late night drives after a long day of classes you spent screaming to whatever she played on the aux… Risking your education (and probably your future) had never been so fun, but all good things must come to an end.
As the end of your junior year approached you were the first one to bring up studying, suggesting you should probably pump the breaks on the distractions. She only called you a nerd, but gave in when you proposed to study together.
The time itself wouldn’t be fun at all, but at least she’d spend it with you. “A win is a win.”, she’d said over the phone, and it only took a few more days to actually motivate yourselves. Reserving a study room was a step in the right direction, but what happened in there would only make you take two steps back.
“That doesn’t even look like me.” You said after she revealed her doodle in the corner of your notebook.
She spent the last five minutes trying to sketch your features out on the bit of blank paper left on your notes instead of focusing on her own.
“Yes it does, look!” She gestured at the messy drawing. “That’s your eyes and your mouth.”
“I am looking, I’m just not seeing.”
It actually did look like you, Yunjin was too talented for it not to. You were just looking at it upside down as you sat across the table from her.
“Well look harder!”
“I don’t want to, stop distracting me!” You whined, switching your pen for a highlighter.
“You’re so mean! Give me my airpod back.” She whined back, actually catching your attention this time.
“What?”
“I don’t want to share my music with you anymore. I need to listen to sad music alone because you’re so mean to me.” She argued, her hand out waiting for the airpod in your ear.
“Are you serious?” You asked, and she only stared at you, retreating her hand only to fold her arms over her chest. “If I say it does look like me, can I keep it?”
“You can keep the drawing, yeah.” She scoffed and you sighed.
You were unsure whether she was serious or not, so you decided to try something that could only have a positive outcome.
“Coffee break?” You proposed, and just like that, her smile was back.
Relief washed over you when her hand found yours, dragging you down to the nearest vending machine. The latter was familiar, it has seen your faces more times than the study rooms as you sometimes only came by to get a coffee from the machine right next to it.
That’s where you met Yunjin, on one of the rare nights she dedicated to her due projects. You’d offered her one of those cheap paper cups, a hole in your student wallet but nothing compared to the world she invited you in afterwards.
Her own little world, the person she was within it, the things she saw and built… It was all so beautiful. You’d get her a thousand of them if it meant learning one new thing every time.
Sometimes you brought her here in hopes for it, and it never failed. The same thing would happen: you’d get her a coffee, she would fight you, try to pay for yours, and you’d ask her about something you’d noticed about her to change the subject. Small details you’d noticed; a pretty necklace, some new earrings, a new hairstyle or the way her makeup looked. Sometimes her mood stood out to you, had you curious. She’d soon forget about her self-imposed debt, getting caught up in the excitment of whatever had caught your attention that day.
“I like your glasses today. How many pairs do you have?” You asked after she sighed out your name. “This is like the fifth pair I’ve seen you wear.”
“Thank you. I have a few. Even more back home.” She said, making you raise an eyebrow.
Her answer was shorter than usual. No spilling over to another subject that your question reminded her of. No squealing about where she got them from, holding your arm as she practically begged for you to come check the small store out with her next time.
Her hands stayed put in her pockets, below the sweater you’d asked about a few weeks ago. It looked comfortable and cozy, and she seemed to grow fond of it based on the way she pulled her hands into the sleeves so often.
“Do they even help you see?” You asked, joking around in an attempt to pull a little more out of her.
“Only two of them do. These aren’t one of them, though.” She giggled to herself, and you could only shake your head at her absurdity.
“Do you even want to pass?” You chuckled as the machine made all kinds of mechanical noises, signaling that the coffee was ready.
She rolled her eyes, getting her hands out of her pockets to grab the cup from yours. The heat emanating from it was the last thing she needed on this fair weather day, but the taste of that coffee was just too good to pass on.
The taste wasn’t the only thing that pushed her to accept each and every one of the cups you offered her. She didn’t even pay attention to it at first, but as time went on, she started looking forward to it. Sometimes to the point of craving it.
Caffeine was dangerous, sure, but she’d come to realise it wasn’t what she had become addicted to.
“How long are you going to keep this up?”
She broke the small silence that had taken its place between the two of you. One of your favorite songs was playing at a faint volume from the airpods you were still sharing, filling in for the lack of words. Your mind had drifted off, long gone and barely listening to your favorite melody as thoughts of her occupied the back of it.
The sound of her voice brought you back, all conscious and hiding how crazy you felt thinking about someone standing right next to you.
A curious hum resonated from your chest, and your eyes met her questioning ones.
“The coffee. When are you gonna let me pay you back?” She asked, and you smiled.
“You don’t need to.”
“But I want to. You spent like a hundred dollars since the beginning of the year.” She frowned.
“That’s a bit excessive. I’d say 30 dollars at the most. It’s really cheap coffee.” You pointed out.
It took everything in her not to call you a smartass. It seemed like a terrible way to confess her feelings. Especially when what she felt, the light she saw you in painted you as far more than a smartass. The opposite, or maybe a more positive and kind alternative.
“You really don’t want me to pay you back?” She insisted, and you shook your head, amused.
This wasn’t the first time she was asking, and you didn’t expect it to be the last, but your answer would remain the same.
You didn’t want her money.
“You could at least admit you want something in return.”
Her words wiped the delectation right off your face. The lighthearted atmosphere suddenly vanished, replaced by a heavy and uncomfortable one.
You had trouble finding the right way to breathe, scared it would shift the conversation into a much too unpredictable path.
“Wh—what?” You stuttered, furrowing your eyebrows in the most natural way you could.
Yunjin wasn’t having it, although in a simpler moment she would have laughed at your poor attempt.
“Come on, Y/n.” She probed. “No one gives out that many compliments out of pure kindness only.”
“There probably are a few people—” You started, but the way she stared at you kept you from rambling further.
There was no escaping it, she obviously knew what was going on. In theory, you couldn’t be surprised as you hoped for your actions to be obvious, or at the least for her to notice them.
Now that she did, you weren’t sure what to do. Hell, you didn’t even know where or how to stand anymore, you hadn’t thought that far ahead.
“Well—I mean, I kind of have been doing this to get to know you a little more.” You mumbled.
One of her eyebrows furrowed, and you sighed. This wasn’t exactly ideal for the embarrassment you felt.
“We’ve been friends for months, is it so difficult to do that? Am I that hard to read?” She wondered, amused.
“I don’t know, it feels easier this way… For me at least.” You looked down, eyes sweeping the floor as you did your best to avoid her gaze.
Embarrassed was only the start to describing how this whole thing made you feel. Everything you did, everything you told and asked her in order to find out more, as sincere and truthful it all was… It all seemed so silly. Collecting all those bits of her personnality, of her mind; piecing them all together in sercret and falling behind closed doors…
What was the point of putting yourself through so much if it would all come to light anyway?
Would it even be worth it?
“Right. Well…” She trailed off, and your eyes were pulled by the sudden movement of her hand between the two of you.
You watched as it hesitantly approached yours, waiting to see if it would welcome it only for you to wrap your fingers around her palm in a heartbeat— that was to say it happened fast as your heart had picked up the pace for a while now.
Yunjin kept her smile to herself, hiding her appreciation behind treacherous eyes that she focused on your joined hands. The spark she held in her gaze whenever she looked at you was hard to erase—she couldn’t believe you hadn’t noticed it.
“Let your wallet rest a bit.” She joked, finally looking up at you. “Whatever you want to know, next time you can just ask.”
“Do you like me?”
“Oh.” Her eyebrows raised in surprise as you shared a laugh over the sudden, bold question.
It wasn’t exactly unlike you, but judging on the past couple minutes, neither of you really expected it.
“I do like you.” She admitted, a shy smile letting you know she wasn’t as cool about it as she tried to be before adding. “When you’re not nagging me about finals.”
“If this is one of your ways to get out of studying I’m gonna be so mad.” You half-joked.
It would be a pretty insane thing to pull, but you wouldn’t put it past her. She loved to avoid schoolwork, no matter the excuse.
“If it was I wouldn’t ask you to get back to it.”
“You haven’t.”
“I am now.” She smiled, tugging on your hand the same way she had to bring you here.
You could only follow as she jogged back to your study room. Whether her excitment came from studying or the progression of your relationship, you had a small idea. It put a smile on your face that you wouldn’t be able to get rid of for as long as she was the one holding your hand.
And wherever she’d lead you, you’d follow.

CYNOSURE'S ASCENDANCE: “DISMANTLE” — jing yuan slowburn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
syp. you, a "normal" citizen of the xianzhou luofu, sneaking around every night, fending off scums and criminals. catching the attention of the seat of the divine foresight, accumulating unwanted speculations of your mysterious, "supposed" dangerous identity in the luofu.
following content. reader backstory · timeline takes place before ambrosial arbor arc · female reader · reader has battle lust tendencies · masturbation · mentions of blood · mentions of alchohol · emotional abuse · attempt of physical abuse · parental trauma · dead dove: do not eat.
Tumblr media
You hear the sounds of your own grunts, your erratic puffs in the air every night. Your muscles are so sore, your hands tremble wielding your weapon, thrusting it repeatedly, swiftly, attacking the nightly breeze. You feel weak, you're absolutely drenched in your own sweat, dampening your white tank top as it cascades down your refined, formiddable physique.
You've been dedicating yourself to the crafts of weaponry, as well as wielding it since you were a child. Almost every single day, whenever you can until the nighttime, but, nearing your 18th birthday, of course, what most parents would do, they would kick you out of their home, leaving you to fend for yourself.
You had no prior issues about leaving your household, why? Your parents are sick of not having a "normal" kid. It's laughable because it's true, ever since you were just puny, tiny and cute, your toddler self picked up a wooden stick randomly, just normal toddler things—until the part where you accidentally wacked a fellow toddler on their noggin.
Normal toddler things. Of course, you did apologize... You mouthed the words towards the toddler, and the annoyed teacher, and yet...
Your cute, dainty eyes were sparkling, shimmering like you just discovered the bestest thing ever in the whole existence, like when babies discover ice cream for the first time. But alas, you were a toddler that time, everytime you tried something related to fighting, you would always get scolded, automatically labelled as a troublemaker, the bad child. Maybe it's just a phase, they thought, they hoped. Wrong, it continued throughout your childhood, but since then you've properly tried practicing, begging for your parents to hire an instructor, but ONLY if you did well in your academics, in which case you did because you were so desperate, such a weird child you are. They couldn't stop you because you were doing great in school, you had no choice, you wanted to continue being trained.
Except, you would hear their arguing almost every night once you're done with your training with the instructor, the two unhappy lovers arguing about you, wasting money for your supposed "stupid" passions, oh yeah they were real shitty, but you truly didn't care, you were only focusing on yourself and what made you happy, passionate, you felt alive, you felt like combat was the most exciting thing for you. This all continued to your teenhood, and it only worsened from there on out, they got more verbal with you, yelling, screaming at your face, calling you unlovable, hard to love, you grew more aware of their negativity, their... emotional abuse as you know it.
Unfortunately, you are started to care about it, only a tiny bit though, nevertheless... You knew something was wrong with you, you really did, you grew more aware of your... inability to express heavy emotions normally, ah but for the exception of fighting of course. You did develope... a certain feeling within you, as you escape from your household occasionally to wander the streets around Central Starskiff Haven late at night, secretly fighting thugs, criminals that haven't even been catched yet, occasionally some mara-strucked cloud knights when you venture deeper within secluded areas, basically any bad individual that tries to shit on you. It's hilarious actually, the trained cloud knights of the Xianzhou Luofu, would most of the time be welcomed in the doorsteps of their training grounds with tied up, mouth taped, beaten up criminals that they've been trying to apprehend.
What is most interesting is that, during your battles against foes, you would develop and feel something, something unfathomable within you, more especially if they were a skilled fighter criminal, though you would come out the fight triumphant of course, as well as feeling absolutely warm for some reason after. After a night's worth of dealing with mighty opponents, you would soon make your way towards your household again, your pretty face beaten up, your refined physique bruised as the moon hovers over the world. You wouldn't be greeted though, you would come home to the smell of alchohol, the blank, dull eyes from your mother — staring into the beyond, cleaning her lover's trash, and his remains. It was a really depressing sight, but you didn't care, at least that's what you tell yourself, your heart aches within, but what can you do about it? You were becoming more aware, aware of your struggles in physical and emotional aspects, but you knew what made you happy.
And that's what mattered right? Your happiness.
Once the midnight struck on the supposed happy day, your parents didn't even wait for it to be sunrise when they've decided to wake you and tried kicking you out. You were furious, so devastatingly furious and heartbroken, showing big emotion the first time since you were a child.
Unfortunately, the first emotion you heavily expressed was anger towards them, and because of that rage that you expressed so greatly showed in your expression and tone... Your father, threw his bottle towards you, smashing and shattering on impact towards your concussed head as pieces of glass fall down from you, leaving you completely speechless by his actions as the sight of your blood blinds you, dripping down from your scalp to your heartbroken expression. Your mother flinched, trembling afterwards, yet she couldn't — or rather, unable to do anything but blankly stare at her husband's outrage and the sight of your bloodied face. Everything of your being was filled with pain, your head, seething with pain, your heart, shattering as you lowered your watery gaze to the shards of his bottle.
A sharp, deafening silence followed for a few, tense minutes as you could processed your emotions the first time, dealing with it internally as your eyes glisten with tears, feeling a lump welling in your throat.
It was sudden, your glossy eyes dart to your father's quickly incoming hand as he tries to attempt to hit you in his crazed, babbling and drunken state, but that's where your childhood eccentricness shines, saving you from his attempt, hastily bringing your swift hand to his wrist, stopping his motions in his tracks. You glared at him, tears cascading down your face, mixing with the blood from your head wound, as you gripped your father's wrist, it was clear, you were stronger than him, seeing him wince in pain from your hold on him before you.
"Wh-Who the FUCK do you think you are t—" Your father's haunting tone, being absorbed into your ears gets cut off as you flick his wrist to the side before shoving him against the wall, resulting in a loud noise from the impact. Shit, you were strong, you didn't even exert a heavy amount of force — at least that's what you thought, as there was an obvious small crevice behind his back, a tiny crack when he came in heavy contact to the stone. You stare in disbelief as adrenaline wells up within your nerves, your hands starting to tremble.
"I-...I'm- I'm sor—" Your breath hitched as your voice trembled along with your whole being, trying to muster up the voice to speak, but your voice box fails you. You look to your trembling mother, her dull eyes continuing to witness the situation before blankly going up to your unconscious, reposed father, robotically and blankly comforting him.
You can't bear the sight of this anymore, you truly can't. Everything hurts, you were experiencing such heavy emotions for the first time, your breathing is ragged and not for the same reasons you were experiencing in your fights earlier.
And at that point on, your body in fight or flight mode, your instincts moving you towards to your belongings, trying to find suitable bags for travel, for your incoming inevitable departure from your parents. Once you were done packing, you heard your father gain consciousness again, grumbling quietly as he holds his head, and at that point your legs hastily brought you outside your household, you didn't know where you were going so late at night, your head is throbbing with pain caused by your father's alchohol bottle just moments ago, your vision blurred with tears as you continue your way towards.. somewhere, anywhere.
Drained of your mental energy, you were moving along the pavement in a daze, in denial of what had just occured, your legs eventually bring you towards starskiff jetty. You desperately needed to get away from your parents after what had just happened, especially during your damn birthday.
You were letting the turmoil and heavy emotions get to you as you didn't know how to deal with these feelings, it hurts, it fucking hurts. Your legs want to give in and slump over, but you need to keep moving, it took awhile but a starskiff finally showed up, it was an hour after midnight, there aren't many starskiffs around so late at night, maybe this was just moment of luck blessing you. You hop in, nestling yourself onto seat.
“To... To the Exalting Sanctum please...” You spoke out faintly towards the owner of the starskiff, before tilting your body over your legs, elbows on your lap as you start to quietly sob, your driver ignoring the sadness you're emitting with a guilty frown upon his face.
None of the individuals spoke as the starskiff made its way towards the destination that was spoken quietly. Your mind hopelessly wanders, already tired, continues to exhaust you in pursuit of your remaining energy as you continue to overthink about your childhood.
They're right, you were far from normal, you were absolutely more eccentric than others, at least that's what you thought, and unexpressive towards anything else except for the art of combat. You played with sticks more than toys, you repelled other kids from playing with you as you were too rough with them, but you didn't care at the time and continued to do so. It consumed you, your very well being, you could feel yourself addicted to the thrill of fighting, a hidden battle lust arising within you as you continued to grow of age, including your skills in battle.
These wretched thoughts didn't help you find peace in this moment of ache however.
“Hello?—Ah, we've arrived..." Your driver's voice snaps you out in your deep overthinking, you give the starskiff owner a faint smile before leaving the vehicle and standing there for a few long moments, your whole mental being weakened. You also had no idea where to go, the only places you visited were your school and the food vendors that sell the fruity Berrypheasants Skewers in Central Starskiff Haven that you grew up on. Besides your slight nostalgic reminiscing, you decide to look for an inn within the marbled floors of the Exalting Sanctum, realizing you have to spend your savings for it, yet you had no choice.
You were saving up for a real weapon, you wanted to wield a real weapon, but of course this inconvenience happens. Sighing, you finally stumble upon an inn, met with a grumpy middle aged man as the receptionist, spending a little bit of your savings before settling in, you didn't care about anything but rest at the moment and rest you did, dropping your belongings before finding the bedding, resting your exhausted mind and body to the depths of your comfortable bed.
Tumblr media
It had been several years since that dreadful day, you got used to this new life of yours, cutting off complete contact from your parents, although you do wonder in a little worry about your mother, but those thoughts soon diminish as you remembered some memories of her emotionally abusing you during your childhood.
That didn't matter anymore though.
All thoughts begin to replace with an intense flurry of thoughts about your techniques during certain actions, you were thrusting your newly elegant spear with precision and haste, within the space of your traditional apartment complex instead of the dreadful inn, your ragged breath mixes with the air as sweat flies off from your refined muscles as you do your daily routine in the morning for a good while.
You felt good, you started to heal from that traumatic experiencing during your midnight birthday, everything was... okay. You hated the fact that you went through such a thing in your birthday, resulting in yourself to practice controlling your heavy emotions, the negative sides of your emotions.
You were alone. You had no one but your beloved spear, and that's okay, you told yourself, convinced yourself, that it's okay. You were genuinely happy with your spear, even with a deep sense of longing within your heart, you were.
And that little “hobby” years ago? It remained in your routine, up until your adulthood, you were more formiddable every battle that took place, each victory costed nothing but their crimes be brought to light. You continued to fight against these unlawful citizens, denizens of the abundance, behemoths that raged within the Xianzhou, all with an unrestrained passion.
The thrill of battle, the blood you spew when fighting against a skilled criminal, the struggle you go through when dealing with multiple mara-struck soldiers at the same time taking them all on like it was the war against Yaoshi and his accursed creations again, but there you reigned beautifully, come out triumphant in a scorched red as golden leaves scatter against the air from the remnants of your opposer.
Each step, each battle, each glory, heavy with fatigue, but you would always stay in the field, your veins cold, throbbing, your mind reeling with a multitude of thoughts, scenarios as to what you have done better, a use of a technique, a flex of a specific muscle, every battle was experience.
Sure, you bathed in pain, all bruised, scathed in occassions, but it would only mean there was more room to grow, that's all you thought about instead of the death that looms with every grasp of your spear.
Growth accompanied you in tremendous amounts, and so did that eccentric side of yours.
You were more than aware of that impending battle lust that resided when wounds find their way onto your flesh, injuries a skilled opponent that would inflict onto you when they can, making you tremble with this unwelcomed, unnecessary arousal.
Something's wrong with you, your parents are always right, but this... can't be aided any longer.
It wasn't just "loving" the thrill of battle anymore, you were burning with pain and that immensely warm feeling after a defeating by someone who you deemed impressive, too impressive.
You were weak with lust and fatigue, staggering towards a dark, secluded area with a slightly open red gate, you didn't know where you were, but it was silent, secluded, tight.
Enough privacy to get this unnecessary pleasure you were experiencing right now.
“God dammit,” You gasped, coming into contact with your spear's body, grinding your lubricated, intimate area. The blood trickles down under your chest, the stinging of the wounds stimulating your senses, clouding all rationality as you start to focus on that warmth between your legs.
If fighting that strong, Cloud Knight earlier led you to this pleasure that rendered you mindless, who knows what heights your senses will bring once you fight someone stronger.
You want to fight someone stronger.
The renowned legend comes into your mind, the Reignbow Arbiter of the Luofu. You've caught historical tales, whispers from the locals of that immortal Arbitrator General, the first time you saw him was when he was on his way to his office with urgency, he came back from somewhere, your ears catching a glimpse of noise in the quiet cold of night while you hid somewhere to hide yourself, traces of voices were vague, but you heard 'astral'. Something about the stars.
Clouds, white, flufy locks with a red ribbon, broad shoulders that were incomparable to the ones you've fought, your thoughts formulating his build, his physique, what veins were visible, where his muscles were honed, trained, was he formiddable in endurance? A body so well formed should have such impenetrable defense, or did he focus on his body for looks? No, that's illogical, he's fought a millennium worth of wars, he was eternally bound to the ways of bloodshed.
You need to fight him, that Reignbow Arbiter.
“Hmh—Please,” That was more than enough to stimulate you, internally assessing his battle prowess, his skill, clashing against yours, you're sure you would be bested in a heartbeat, showered wounds from his experience, from your lack of experience, both of your weaponry against each other, which lover would reign supreme.
You have to fight him in this lifetime.
Gossip wasn't plenty in your area of where you lived, you haven't even seen his face, only bits of his appearance from behind or from the descriptions of the locals of Aurum Alley.
Vague, but the information regarding to his legendary feats were enough to make you a mess.
“But General I—” Your ears perk up, your body jolting instinctively, now covering your mouth in a hurry as you hear a voice talking with another.
“Must you find difficulty in my simple orders? We will wait for our stellar guests to assist us, I regret to say this, but this is a situation outside the Luofu's expertise, it's about time this matter had cease to accumulate and articulate. It's been years, and, the residents of the Xianzhou is starting to notice something amiss.” Your clit twitched against your spear, using his voice to stimulate your arousal from your most recent fight. You didn't know what they were talking about but fuck, does he sounds heavenly.
“B-But General Jing Yuan, even if this individual-”
”If?” The General scorns, two fingers in between his vision, a mental headache from the unnecessary topic they were conversing in.
“This... mysterious individual has managed to bring us one high figure diciples of the Sanctus Medicus group, do you understand? This brings shame to our abilities—my soldiers abilities, compared to the, tch, to this unknown individual.”
You've also heard rumors, fleeting, short gossips about the Arbiter General. Many have said he was aloof, carefree, even lazy... This proves that people just love to talk, don't they? What he was demonstrating right was sheer authority, decisiveness, and even with anger bubbling within him, he was nothing but calm, commanding, calculative—but that was most natural to a man of his status, his nature, and that was nothing more than but overwhelmingly attractive in your eyes.
Wondering more about how he holds himself in such pressure, such expectations, how can one man force his authority over others without a shred of guilt, or... that's what you assume, anyways.
Fuck, you have to get a taste of his skill, his abilities, you want to meet his unrivaled gaze, you want to perform a clash with him, you have to, you need to, for your own growth, a chance to grow as a spear handler, to have new techniques thrown at you with intentions of cutting of your life—it didn't matter.
It was for your growth. It was either a life of physical prowess, or the uneventful ending of death.
The Cloud General continued to talk to the Cloud Knight infront of the headquarters, and you're over here on the side of the grandiose building, rubbing your clit against your spear more frantically as he talks.
You love the sound of his voice so much, the syllables escaping his mouth rings within your ears, memorizing intensely of the pleasant sounds that reverberate inside your eardrums. You were close, your hips were desperate in movement, continuing to breathe heavily, your whimpering muffled against your other hand, even biting against the fabric of your wrist cannot stop the slightly audible panting from you, fuck you want to fight him, you want him to lay wounds that benefit your skill, your movemen, you w—
“Say, do you hear that?“
Shit, you almost cussed out under your bated breath, frantic irises dart around, your instincts helping you visualize your escape route while the two men look around the source of the noises you've been making.
“Hear what General? It's late into the night...?”
Oh, but Jing Yuan's sense of hearing was greater than the average individual, he knew what those noises were but he wasn't sure as to why the very person engaging in that activity would do such a thing near his headquarters, but it would soon then make sense for him as he looks over to an unrecognizable tight alley way near his office. His eyebrow raised, golden eyes shining with curiousity and amusement as his legs begin to take him over towards the noise.
Towards the area where you reside.
Shit shit shit, you only have a few seconds until you're caught, you hastily look around in a panic, you were still very much in heat, but the literal General was coming and you were their culprit, even if they didn't know, why would a random person engage in such activities with a lengthy spear—near his office. His deduction skills, leading you to your demise as you continue to panic internally, before looking up to the roofs.
“General Jing Yuan?” The last thing you hear before launching yourself up to the roofs using the garbage dumpsters definitely making noise, but you would rather do this than get caught.
“Mm.” The startled Cloud General paused, looking at the empty alley way, he found nothing before hearing a shift against the air, a cloth
There was movement, somewhere.
Narrowed eyes travel up, now widened as he takes witness a part of the elegant, crystal, bladed tip of your spear, it was definitely not a Cloud Knight's spear, nor one of his creaations.
Speechless from the spectacle, his mind starts to wander about, shaking his head before returning to the confused soldier.
“...Send a word to the Astral Express requesting their presence first thing when the sun rises. Dismissed.” The General commands firmly, his Cloud Knight saluting automatically before making his way towards the Realm-Keeping Commission.
Jing Yuan is left alone infront his office, gazing at the nightly sky, showered with golden leaves from the Ambrosial Arbor's influences. The man was disarrayed. He started to question himself, he wasn't that tired right? Hallucinating and hearing voices of a woman's pleasured noises. It rings through his sensitive ears, starting to question his lack of sleep and exhaustion.
He wasn't tired, but the thoughts running through his head were tiring so you could say he's going to tire out soon, mentally anyways.
There was a new presence in this grand hexafleet.
The Stellaron Hunters weren't this clumsy with whatever they were situated with, but even then, you had little time to react to the General, your reflexes and agile movement proved you were skilled, and the fact that you escaped his grasp, his sights, swiftly moving into hiding? Your intentions were unknown to him, and that was enough to be a potential threat to the Xianzhou.
To the Arbiter General anyways.

The encampment at my uni has an instagram page where they're consistently referring to Israel as the "violent Zionist entity" or "occupying Zionist entity" and... I'm tired. I don't like how Israel has been handling things. I want the violence to come to an end. I think that they and I probably have a lot of common ground, when it comes to our opinions on how the civilian population of Gaza should be treated--and that should be their primary concern, shouldn't it? That should be the core they build their movement around, you'd think.
And yet. And yet. They say "antizionism is not antisemitism" as if the two could never coincide (though I do agree they are not synonyms) and "[we] fight against antisemitism when bigots and grifters attempt to infiltrate our movements" (that's in the first public draft of their guidelines, they ditched the fighting antisemitism part for the newest one lmaoooooo) as if it has never even crossed their minds that they themselves might be antisemitic? That the antisemitism in the movement might come from within, no bad-faith actors needed?
But then they "demand that the University ... cut all academic ties with Israeli universities and Zionist academics" and "acknowledge the reality that media and Zionists will try to identify [encampment participants]" while also saying that "oppressive behaviour and stereotypes are not welcome"--well, which is it? is it bad to stereotype people for the purpose of limiting and/or excluding them, or is it acceptable to assume that every single Israeli student and professor is an evil scheming (((zionist))) and therefore they must be excluded?
I understand why they want the university to divest itself from weapons manufacturing and such (though tbh the links they've cited are fairly tenuous) but the total stonewalling of an entire country's academia just really rubs me the wrong way even without taking the singling out of Israel into consideration. You'd think, if they were so concerned about Israel being an insular ethnostate, they would want Israeli students to come here and see a different way the world can be! And yet!
Like I said--I'm tired. I wish this movement was one that I felt comfortable supporting. I wish their tactics aligned better with their stated goals. I wish they would be more self-aware, and that they would be better activists. Antisemitism doesn't help the people of Gaza. It just drives potential allies away.
(also--and this is not quite as much a vent as the rest of it--they call the university hypocritical for not saying anything about Palestine when they do have local land acknowledgements. Assume their framework holds. They put up a self-flagellating instagram post about how they felt they desperately needed to set up their encampment, and quickly, and so they did not have time to consult local indigenous groups before doing so. Now, I don't really think that setting up a rule-breaking encampment on university grounds under the current governance structure should require you to ask special permission--it's not like they asked the uni anyway lol--but they clearly do. They clearly feel it is not right for them to exist on these lands in the manner in which they do... but they're still here. They still made the encampment. They're colonizers, and they remain in the colony. One might think that this would give them some insight into reasons that an alleged colonizer population might be disinclined to leave--but of course, it's different for them. They acknowledge their own hypocrisy and continue on, having gained absolutely no insight--at least not any they're willing to share with the world.)
.....dang, sorry for the essay lmao. that got a bit out of hand. I'll wrap it up here so I don't go yammering on all night XD

Tumblr media
plan b survivors
Tumblr media
meet y/n, the academic weapon of SVT uni. absolutely hates lee chan's guts. is very endeared and weirded out by both of her best friends. all her girlfriends really far away so she can barely find the time to talk to them, so she has to make do with the two losers seniors she calls her friends: mingyu and seokmin.
Tumblr media
meet kim mingyu. the photographer for the university's weekly newspaper (re: gossip magazine). one half of the y/n bullying club (yes, he's the bully). loves his darling junior but loves his camera more. the only person in a relationship in their little trio.
Tumblr media
meet lee seokmin. the main vocalist for the university's band 'shining diamonds'. is also the 'founder' of sorts since he was the one that reached out to people to create the band. the band was a instant hit in the university due to his AMAZING vocals and they quickly gained traction for their stellar music. also, the other half of the y/n bullying club lol. the sweetest person you will ever meet. once cried over killing a mosquito.
condom broke we awoke
Tumblr media
meet lee chan. also the academic weapon of SVT uni. is hopelessly in love with his "rival"(as his friends call her, he just wants to call her his girlfriend) jumped with joy when he was mentioned in his crush's instagram bio. was crushed after seeing why so he retaliated as you can see. loves his bros even though they tease him every waking moment of his life.
Tumblr media
meet boo seungkwan. the chief editor for the university's weekly newspaper, which is why it went from newspaper to gossip magazine. but everyone loves it so it's fine. loves reminding chan he's older than him every time he can't come up with a counterargument to whatever they're bickering about. is the sassiest person you will ever meet.
Tumblr media
meet vernon chwe. the lead guitarist in the band. shares a birthday with the vocalist. doesn't like being called hansol unless it's his family and 2 friends. is very quiet to the point he has to clear his throat to alert people literally right next to him. is also the reason seungkwan gets the kind of news he runs in the paper lol.

I grabbed this image from Twitter. Don't know from where exactly it came from like from which volume but it looks legit and therefore fun to look at.
First of all, my girl Kirara is missing, so this graph might be a bit old. The other characters also have their older designs used as well. Some funny observations here:
Todo, for being introduced as a crazy masculine "what type of woman do you like" character actually has the highest mark of all 14 students. Only in athletics he loses one point probably because he has to go against Yuji and Maki.
The second highest score goes to Megumi. His athletics is one point down from Todo and his Jujutsu sense is only eclipsed by Todo and Yuta.
Mai has the lowest athletics score with 4, explaining her usage of long range weapons. Nobara is only one step higher than her just like Miwa. Kokichi's athletic score is definitely counted as the durability of his main Mechamaru puppet.
Maki has no points in Jujutsu sense which makes absolute sense. Her use of cursed weapons definitely counts under athletics.
Hakari has the lowest point in this chart with a whopping 2 for academic achievements in stark contrast to Todo, his muscle buddy. Is he just randomly choosing his answer by throwing a dice around? Leaving it all to luck?
Yuji is only two points higher than Hakari in academics. Megumi should give him some tutoring, that boy needs to lose the dumb allegations.
Mai has the lowest Jujutsu sense with 4 which tracks with the difficulties she has with her CT. Not only is her CE halved at all times, her technique also uses up more CE than other techniques. It's probably difficult getting good under those conditions but she also didn't want to become a sorcerer anyway.
Miwa is only one point higher than Mai and I guess that would explain the difference between her New Shadow Style Simple Domain and that of Kusakabe. Uzumaki nearly killed Miwa after her attack against Kenjaku failed but Kusakabe managed to deflect it with his simple domain.
I wonder what an updated version of this chart would look like 🤔 Where we are in the story right now, I would cut academics completely out and divide Jujutsu sense into two different categories. Or maybe replace academics with something like combat sense.

jumping rq on the afk arena found family ever (gavus, eugene and their kids) but ive been brainrotting and well i have some headcanons:
• Liberta and Lucilla did not come out of everything entirely unscathed emotionally and mentally. 10 years and becoming generals at young ages did not do them well.
• Likewise, it is a very real fear of Eugene AND Gavus that they’ll go to sleep one day and wake up right back in their respective prisons, alone.
• So the four tend to have some nights where they all just stay up instead of sleeping (much to the detriment of Gavus who wants his children to have healthy sleep habits) , typically nights like these are spent in each other’s company as a physical reminder that the bad is over now
• Lucilla tends to get overprotective at times of her brother and her fathers, because she doesn’t want to be separated from them ever again. This trait made itself especially well known when she and Liberta defected from the Hypogeans and Celestials, but has since calmed down.
• Liberta is semi verbal, because some days he can’t bring himself to speak.
• Eugene handles a lot of the practical advice side of parenting whereas Gavus handles a lot of comfort.
• Of the two fathers, Gavus is the one holding a more strict grudge against the Celestials and Hypogeans than Eugene is. This is mainly due to Gavus being overly protective and hard to let things go, which makes one realize where Lucilla got it from.
• During their time with the Celestials and Hypogeans, Liberta and Lucilla were treated oddly. Lucilla was trained only ever in the art of combat, she had a lot of friends but she wasn’t being given much formal education due to that not being her purpose. Her status as a weapon, as Dusk, made it so that nothing else mattered much except her combat prowess and destructive power so she could turn the war in favor of the Hypogeans.
• Liberta on the otherhand was educated academically but only ever with Celestial morals scattered everywhere as they didn’t want to repeat Gavus’s defection. However, he was not given proper treatment among Celestials and his feelings were often not taken into account on any decisions, as he was a weapon, Dawn, and weapons followed orders.
• These things do not go away so easily, and right after they left the two divine factions, they got into it a lot because they struggled to reconnect initially. It took some time and good ol bonding while looking for their dads to get them both as close as they are now.
• But even then, they still struggle sometimes. Lucilla struggles with learning how to not utilize violence to solve every problem she has with someone, whereas Liberta struggles to stand firm to his feelings rather than writing them off for the wishes of someone else.
• Gavus upon learning any of this found himself feeling absolutely Livid inside but inhale exhale his kids need their fathers right now
• And that’s not to say Eugene wasn’t angry either, but his rage was very much turned into energy and determination to make sure nothing would ever hurt his family ever again.
• Liberta is still just as eepy as he was when he was a kid. He naps anywhere at any time. Lucilla will draw on his face from time to time, Gavus will put a blanket over him, and Eugene just straight up carries Liberta to his bed.
• Lucilla can be best described as “what if I eat that” and she’ll always try to eat it. She has eaten candle wax, cardboard, a leaf, grass, paper, etc. and it is all due to curiosity, she never eats the same thing twice if its not edible or good tasting.
• Eugene very much bullies Lucilla in the same way a parent will lovingly bully their child. He makes fun of her but he’s always among the first to support her too. Eugene has been trying to help her focus violent tendencies into crafting instead, noting that it’s easier to destroy but more fulfilling to make. He has since received many a lopsided woodcarving of what could be a bear but might be a duck.
• Gavus is similar but he indulges Lucilla’s antics as long as nobody’s hurt. He also reads really bad YA romance novels with her, like Twilight levels of bad, and they’ll talk shit about it together. Lucilla isn’t one to be too involved with it but sometimes the plots get so wild and out of control it sends Gavus into a frustrated rant and sends Lucilla into orbit with how hilariously passionate her dad gets over stupid crappy romance books.
• On the flipside, Eugene definitely teases Liberta but he’s much softer with him since Liberta is a bit more sensitive than Lucilla is. He and Liberta share a love for puzzles and cool gadgets, if they go into the market and have some extra money, you can bet your everything that they’re going to go off looking for another cool and fun thing to bring home.
• Meanwhile Gavus and Liberta tend to cook together !! Since Eugene has been banned for abuse of spices and seasoning causing one too many dinners to be over seasoned or over spiced, Liberta has taken up the role as co-chief for Gavus and they use that time to talk about interesting things.
• Family Game nights but instead of games its debate nights where they take a topic and they just debate over why they’re right abt it. Yk like what kind of chair is better or whatnot. Sometimes they’ll do teams and sometimes it’s every man for themselves.

we need a part two to the fratboy reaction thing you wrote i cried laughing ajfjahahjaka
(tosses this post like i throw bread at stray birds) there's your meal for the year
NCT 2022 as your final school presentation partner
side note: since i am the principal at this uni/college/higher education establishment I have decided that this will be for an english presentation. also i do realise that this does not count as a part two but dont worry i might do one in about seven years time!
Tumblr media
Johnny: You stare holes into his laptop from across the lecture hall once your partner is announced. He thinks you’re just curious about what he’s watching, and turns the screen to reveal a custom car parts video. Despite your initial apprehension-and failing to convince your professor to change partners, he is a fairly decent partner (he made the google doc) and contributes his fair share (he offered to do most of the talking). Shows up 20 minutes late to the actual class absolutely hammered but takes it like a champ. 6/10, thanks for making the google doc, mate.
Taeil: Everything is fine until he tells you that he can't work in the campus library- he HAS to be in his dorm room. You nod along, already mentally reminding yourself to bring pepper spray in case you enter his room and there are star wars posters. Definitely INSISTS on playing music, and sings to it like his life depends on it. Like no babe, your life depends on these slides you're neglecting. Turns the script into a song to memorise it faster, and you can't believe it actually helped the both of you. No star wars posters, so the pepper spray was left untouched, 8/10, ♫ Good moooooorning everyoooooone today we will be discusssssing Littleee woomeeeeeen♫
Taeyong: For a party guy, he’s super nice and willing to do the work- it’s just that he has a horde of friends that tail him everywhere. It’s not exactly productive to be in the library (quiet) with ten dudes chatting up a storm (not quite) two tables away. Offers to buy you coffee because he feels bad, so at least your wallet is happier than your ears. During the presentation, his bros are attentively taking notes and roar into applause when you conclude the presentation. 6/10 The chorus of “MY BRO IS SO SMART” is oddly sweet, and you are thankful one of them added on “AND YOU TOO LADY” Because yeah, you too lady!
Yuta: Offers you a 100 dollar note to finish it by yourself, and when you decline he’s like ‘oh ok i’ll do it then’. You thought about changing your career goals to becoming a cultural negotiator, because that was easy. Does the absolute bare minimum, and flirts with you the entire time- shoes up on the library table and all. But it’s not all that bad, because he teaches you how to accessorize and shows you his cool tattoo. During the presentation you looked scared and plain next to him, mostly because he was decked out in full leather and facial jewelry. 4/10, could’ve told you there was a dress code. 
Kun: Lets you work at his nice apartment right outside of campus. How can he afford it? You don’t want to ask! Makes a plan on how to equally divide the workload, always texts you updates on his slides, offers advice if you need it and is generally a fantastic partner. Once the presentation is over, he resumes his role in your life as the nice guy you look at from two rows below you. 10/10 next project you’ll try to be his friend. Next project…
Doyoung: ACADEMIC WEAPON. Mate, you don’t even see this guy. He just randomly emails you a utterly phenomenal proposal for the project, you reply “this is great! When are you free to work on it?” He just attached the finished thing. It’s bulletproof, with great analyzes, and even has potential questions + answers for you to review. You meet for the first time AT the presentation, and when you ask him why he just did everything, he stone-faced replies: “I’m very passionate about metaphors.” 8/10 You were also very passionate about them, but clearly not as much as he was.
Ten: On his phone when your group was assigned; so you decide to approach him. Which was your first mistake, because once you enter a ten meter radius of him you begin sweating- and you’re only mildly offended asks who you are. You two work in his friend’s tattoo studio (why does his friend have a tattoo studio), and he will doodle up designs for you unprompted. You are 1) impressed at how good he is at drawing 2) forgetting that THERE IS A PROJECT FOCUS BITCH. 4/10 you failed, but got a sick tattoo that’s better than Yuta’s.
Jaehyun: In shows, the jock is usually an idiot until the last moment, where he magically develops super smart sense and aces the project. Not Jaehyun though, he’s a fucking moron. At some point, you just have to tell to shut up; he’s a good partner until he opens his mouth. Hey, at least his face is nice to look at, and you know who to call if you need someone’s head knocked in. 6/10 What do you mean you don’t know what a proposition is? You’re taking an ENGLISH DEGREE!
Winwin: Will be twenty minutes late. Will also bring his roommate’s dog over, which you don’t know if you’re thankful for or not. You two will interact with the social aptitude of two underdeveloped microorganisms; and he will combust if you look at him for more than a second. Not in the flustered, more in the apathetic introverted way. 4/10, you had never been so silent in your entire schooling years.
Jungwoo: Lovely boy, thank the stars you got partnered with him and not Jaehyun. The only disconcerting thing about him is that he has to type lying on his belly with his feet kicking in the air. But fuck it! You join him, and suddenly you two are middle school girls gossiping about academic essays. You both spend more time decorating the slides than finding information. 10/10 You do think that he is your long lost other half.
Mark: Despite this being a completely professional situation; with no romance and barely even any possibility for friendship, he still manages to have zero rizz. Zero Academic Rizz, as one might call it. But when he’s not embarrassing himself by stuttering eight times in five words, he gives you decent feedback and is surprisingly emotionally intelligent for being a man. Brought you a half-melted chocolate bar before the presentation because the day before you complained about cramps. 9/10 You go, Mark! Even if you mispronounced ‘theoretically’ in front of the theory teacher! 
Xiaojun: Right there alongside Taeil with the massive inclination to sing his heart out. I do imagine that he is also studying musical theatre, so god bless your heart. Do you know how distracting it is to hear phantom of the opera while you study catcher in the rye? To be fair, he also lets you occasionally listen to Nicki Minaj, which he turns into melodic opera. 2/10, he ended the presentation with ♫anyyyyyyyyy quueeeeeeeeestions♫ and you wanted to die.
Hendery: Goofy (derogatory) Silly (insultingly) Despite not knowing him before this presentation, you forcibly grew so close with him in the span of a week that you began smacking him with your laptop every time he went on a tangent. Even if you had screaming matches outside the library (you got kicked out), you two still managed to make an outstanding social commentary within the amazing world of gumball. 10/10, he got yelled at for dancing while the professor asked her question. 
Renjun: He regards you the same way you regard your friend’s 13 year old, freshly intellectually sentient sibling. Is definitely more interested in texting his friends than talking to you, but you like it that way (you think to yourself spitefully). You purposely don't decorate his slides, but his script is so good that the professor doesn't even notice it. 1/10, the one point is for when he told you that you formatted your script wrong. 
Jeno: Asks if you can come to the gym and work with him there. At first you say no, but it seems like his schedule is severely booked, and you finally relent. It sort of looks like you are his secretary, with your laptop in your hands, typing the words his grunts out between sets. All things considered, he knows alot about the topic without having to reference anything. The project is finished within three sessions, and you are forced to do some exercise 3/3 times. 8/10, the smell of sweat is horrendous, but he makes a pretty good personal trainer. One more! One more! You got this!!
Haechan: You both didn’t get anything done. Not for the lack of effort, but for the sheer amount of banter. And fighting. Lots of fighting- but your favourite colours are opposites, how were you meant to find the best slide background? The project’s pushed to the night before, and the two of you spend 5 hours straight at a McDonalds, drinking copious amounts of coke zero and ignoring the minimum wage workers trying to tell you that you shouldn’t order any more fries. 2/10, he threw said fries at you and the salt lodged itself in your keyboard.
Jaemin: Neither of you want to do the work, so he finds an existing presentation on the topic and you just… steal it. When the professor confronts you both about the obvious plagiarism, Jamein induces WW2 mental warfare to psychologically manipulate the professor into thinking she’s crazy, and that she was being unprofessional by assuming her students couldn’t produce a high quality of work. 10/10 After the presentation, Jaemin whispered to you: “Victory by any means necessary.”
Yangyang: Imagine this, 3AM, two students sitting at the library with drained faces, staring at a blank laptop screen. That’s what working with yangyang is like. Since both of you were procrastination-fueled learners, there was nothing to do but wait until the dreadful deadline approached and suddenly, you both would turn into geniuses. You moved for the first time in an hour when he offered to drive to burger king. 5/10 BURGER KING! The idea of a whopper ignites your ability to start the slides. 
Shotaro: Like Jungwoo, is a pleasure to work with, even if he is a little unremarkable. That being said, both of you had no idea how to answer one of the questions, and the two of you just exchanged concerned glances until the professor answered it for you. 5/10, both of you went to starbucks after to freak out and celebrate simultaneously.
Sungchan (I REALISED I SPELT HIM NAME WRON GIN THE OTHER POST OMG IM SO SORRY GIRL): This dude probably refuses to do work until you threaten him with either physical or mental torture (your choice, artistic interpretation) and he makes an extra effort to press each key as loudly as he can with a typing speed of half a word per minute. 2/10 During the actual presentation you two can’t stop from fighting to the point that the professor has to split you two apart. 
Chenle: You kill him. 0/10. Smack him over the head, and he still maintains the bratty disposition. He is the test sent by God, and one you cannot pass. 
Jisung: Would be super nice to work with, but surrounded by his upperclassmen, harassing him for no reason other than their preconceived role in his life. But it’s cool, because you have noise-cancelling earbuds, and also because it’s sort of funny to watch him whine and complain. When you can actually work alone, you find that he has to refill his americano at least three times per session. 6/10 Whether his hands shaking was from nerves, or a lethal caffeine overdose, you’ll never know.

#finn's ocs#finn's art#oc references#YAY finally posted them#the smart guys set....#i was excited for this set regardless bc they all have their own like specific reasons theyre in the scholars guild#like different things theyre following. except for arguably talitha but shes like. a baby#shes more geeky than nerdy. but she would hang out in their huge library a lot and just sort of ended up joining#mercury herself is obviously the leader but her thing is moreso about spreading the message of the previous guildmaster (minerva)#while keid is more of a philosopher (so good at rumination might as well make a passion of it lol)#and like i said alasia is an archeologist (and historian!). and i describe navi as a blacksmith bc thats the title theyd be given-#but hes more of an engineer. doing cool new innovative things. so they and alasia have this sort of future/past passion thing#dimidium is a medic lol but bc of the way her power works its a bit more complicated#when i say reverse healing i mean he can literally just make you worse. Injury Power.#misam is like the edgiest of the batch for sure but dont be fooled theyre still more nerd than edgelord#the reason they can be so ruthless is because theyre very calculative about their choices#not in the same overthinking-type way keid is but in the sense that they can be a bit... ends justify the means?#not that they dont care about ethics at all but unlike keid they wouldnt get caught up in them#the most direct approach is the best one and all that. theyre a utilitarian.#(misams top was also more risque at first but i decided to have them button up a bit lol)#and perwana is an acolyte (aco-light. lol) in the sense that her goal really is just to spread knowledge#shes the most similar to mercury in that sense which makes her probably the first candidate for the next guildmaster rn#bc thats also the thesis statement of the guild itself!#they have a big open library for a reason. well. mostly open#but thats them :)
