#vday event: blind dates

[milky-fixx]

take your pick.

a/n: i have this idea i've wanted to write since last vday! basically a sort of CYOA, but it’s choose your own date. i just really wanted to write a multifandom blind date drabbles. these will be sfw, and not exceedingly long since i’d never get it done if that was the case LOL. i tried to keep it to seven of my fandoms, but motivation and time permitting, may add more fandoms? who knows. btw, this is just meant to be a silly thing LOL pls don’t take it seriously :))))

various x reader

fandoms: devilman crybaby, bleach, genshin impact, hunter x hunter, jojo’s bizarre adventure, jujutsu kaisen, one punch man.

You, by all respects, lead a fulfilling life. You have a nice job, you’re doing well in school. You have a wonderful network of friends, and a supportive boyfrien—

Well. Scratch that last one. Maybe you don’t have all these things. Or even one of these things. Maybe you have none of these things. 

But that’s okay. It’s not like you’re dissatisfied with your life. It’s not like you love it either, but on a scale of 1 to 10, it would rank at least a five on most days. And that’s better than nothing, right? 

Right?

There’s a lot of things you can’t fix overnight, no matter how many pep talks in front of the mirror or pints of ice cream you devour on late nights, but your friend suggests a band-aid solution—it is the easiest thing to address, after all, considering just how many bored, single men exist in the world. A local dating app recently came out in your city, and the developers were kicking off its beta release with a February blind-dating event. It wasn’t even a day after she told of you about it that she was at your door, demanding she help you set up your profile on the app.

“But I’m not lonely,” you protest.

“I saw you crying at videos of puppies the other day,” she says, scrolling through your phone, before typing furiously. No doubt trying to spice up your profile. You wonder what light she’ll portray you in this time? The artistic recluse with an air of intrigue? The peppy optimist with a dark past filled with daddy issues? She’s definitely used that one before... “You baby-talk your pet goldfish.” 

“I like animals,” you say defensively. 

“All you do in your free time is binge telenovelas,” she continues, as if reading off a mental checklist she’d made of you. “You used to have those posters of cute boyband groups on your walls.”

“Shh! We don’t mention that stage of my life.”

“Mmhmm,” she says, swatting your hand away when you reach for your phone.

Your hand falls onto the couch as you groan. “I don’t wanna meet some weirdo though.” Your nose wrinkles at the memory of her past efforts at finding your next fling. “Remember that double date I went on with you?”

“He was a nice guy—” 

“He came straight out of prison! He brought his parole officer with him.”

She meets your gaze, nodding painfully. Yes, she did remember her date bailing only to be replaced by the parole officer. The two of you share a look before bursting into giggles. As the laughter recedes, she puts down your phone.

“But seriously—you’re going on that date.”

You sigh. “Dating is so hard, though. At least when I’m on my own, all I have to worry about is myself.” 

She squints. “Weren’t you wearing those sweats when I stopped by two days ago?”

You look down, examining with renewed interest at the crusted-over pizza sauce stain on your pants. "...Maybe?"

She sighs, putting down your phone. Reaching for your shoulders, she gives you a good shake. You can almost feel your brain rattling around—or maybe that’s the lack of sleep speaking. You blink, disoriented.

“Try it, please? Putting yourself out there might be a nice change of pace. You’ve been such a shut-in lately. Who knows—you might even enjoy yourself,” she says soothingly.

You consider it. You really do. Your plans for that week—and the week after, and the week after that—were the same really: stream shows all day, browse social media until your eyes burned from being glued to the screen, fall asleep with the lights on and starfished about your bed.

What was the harm in changing things up a bit? What could go wrong?

Truthfully, many things could. At least you might get a good story out of it, though. 

You sigh. "Fine. Let's do it." 

She cheers, drawing you into a hug. You pat her forearms awkwardly, attempting to slip your phone out of her lap discretely. She notices through, slapping her hand over yours. You frown. 

“So... who’d you set me up with this time?”

She purses her lips. "I can't tell.” At your look of confusion, she clarifies, “Because it's a blind date, no one's profile has their faces. It just has bios and pictures of random things."

“Random things?”

This time she hands you your phone, showing you the matches that have popped up. An assortment of items meet your view, underneath the prompt.

“Pick something that best represents your ideal partner."

You squint, clicking on random images to view the profiles. Hmm. While the bios give you some insight into their personalities, each image is oddly specific and gives away little of the appearance of the person you’d be going on a date with. 

"Well, the app has great ratings so far,” she offers, noticing your hesitation. “Plus, If they live here, they can’t be that weird, right?”

True... Ruling out the fact that you could accidentally be going on a date with a foot-licking creep. It wouldn’t be the first time.

You scroll through the images, pondering them.

What have you got to lose, really?

WHICH ONE WILL YOU PICK?

a. devilman

A photo of someone tying their running shoes. The presentation is a little bland, but you are curious about these references to demons and devils. You are not sure if the location glitched, because why is he 666 km away…?

b. jojo

The eccentric cover of Prince’s 1999 album. Whoever wrote this seems to be flirty, confident—definitely someone who knows how to have a fun date. You’re curious about what his hair looks like, if he goes as far as to mention it.

c. darknight

An elegant photo: a bottle of… wine? grape juice? clutched by a gloved hand. Their bio is short and to-the-point. They seem to be someone who doesn’t like mincing words.

d. Prince of Silence

A traditional background, sakura petals scattering in the wind. The person must be one of aesthetics. Their bio is a simple haiku. You are a bit thrown off by the age though… surely, that must be a typo.

e. The Phantom Thief

A book with indecipherable text splayed upon a cluttered desk. It gives off the impression of long nights spent poring over readings. The bio is equally as intriguing—it seems this person is intellectual and enjoys philosophy.

f. infinitely cursed

A simple ring whose gemstone glints in the sunlight. An earnest bio—whoever wrote this seems to be the protective sort, if not somewhat lonely.

g. Speed of Sound.

You are… not sure what to make of this photo. Are those ninja weapons? The bio reads more like a listing for a hitman. Plus, who is this ‘Saitama?’

Dream is in an accident, George builds a hologram, and they struggle to bridge the gap between artificial and organic.

pairing: dream/george for: @sortasortaspicy as part of the mcyt blind date event <3 happy vday les!! tropes: science fiction AU, making up after a fight

“Whatever,” Dream says, swiping away the browser in front of him. Internally, George cheers. “That’s it. I’m leaving. I’m sick of you.” Huffing indignantly, he flutters to the ground and storms towards the door, hoodie billowing dramatically with unseen wind. Huh, George notes. New trick.

Inches from the frame, his figure dissolves, reappearing on the far side of the room. “Oh, come on.”

“You’re boxed,” George notes blankly, struggling to smother a smile as Dream glares flatly back in response.

Valentine’s Day Weekend event starters

****please do not reblog, these starters are exclusive for the vday weekend event****

Send me a little heart ♥ and I’ll generate a random starter with one of the scenarios below. Only send if you want to turn this into a quick thread that will last during the entire weekend. If you don’t have the chance to reply back and forth, don’t worry, I’ll be posting more things during the weekend for us to interact without the pressure to fast reply ^^

Note: We don’t have to be shipping for this particular meme. Since these will be random anything can happen. If you randomly get a romantic/shippy and our muses do not match for that or a silly thing, I’ll adapt it. 

1.- My muse is about to go out on a date when your muse shows up at his door, crying and drunk and they’re a total mess.

2.- My muse pesters you to go on a blind date until you accept, you show up to find out your blind date happens to be my muse! Turns out my muse was also convinced to go on a blind date coincidentally today and... What would be the odds????

3.- Our muses decide not to do anything because they have plans to do something more private but your muse is late and they can’t be reached by any means, my muse decides to go find them for that’s very strange.

4. – Our muses HATE each other and… They just found out they were set up on a blind date. Oops.

5.- Our muses had plans for the most romantic evening ever but oh crap, the villain of the week decides to shit on their plans.

6.- Your muse got stood up in the most horrible of the ways, so my muse comes to the rescue.

7.- Our muses are enemies but secretly dating together. Your muse is the second in command for this super villain team that is constantly fighting my muse’s team. They had the perfect plan to sneak away for a quiet evening but… Your stupid evil boss is forcing you to go fight the X-Men because that’s what stupid evil bosses do, what is going to happen????

8.- My muse gave your muse chocolates as a Valentine’s Day gift but, you developed a sudden allergy to the ones that contain nuts, oh shit.

9.- Our muses both got dumped tonight and they happen to be at the same bar so, why not getting drunk and maybe do something out-impulse-stupid, like... Hooking up?

10.- Our muses don’t really have plans for Valentine’s Day but it doesn’t matter because they have decided to spend the evening binge watching their favorite series and/or movies and turns out it will be really fun.

The Wolf and the Maiden Fair || VDay Event

Ciaran stood at the entrance to the carnival, palming the half of a puzzle that he had been given. He knew that he needed to go in and start looking for his blind date, but he was admittedly nervous. It had taken a lot of self-lectures to get him to do this. He needed to get his ass back in the game, but shit..what if he got paired with some wank. What if he got paired with Kane? Or..even Atticus? What a cosmic fuck up that would be.. Rubbing a hand through his dark hair, he finally straitened his deep red henley and made his way into the carnival. The lights and noises and smells momentarily overwhelmed his senses, but he pushed on, bright blue eyes scanning the crowds and looking at the puzzles in everyone’s hands. Then..he finally saw his half.

Grinning in relief, Ciaran approached the cotton candy stand when Angelonia stood, opening his palm to show her the puzzle half then taking her hand to place a kiss to her knuckles. “I’ve found my maiden fair” he teased. “How are ya tonight love? Ready to have some fun?”

Sweet Fun || VDay Event

Daisy knew how it looked. Signing up for a blind date when she was still so unsure about pretty much everything. She needed the distraction though, a little fun and maybe making a new friend who hopefully wouldn’t expect anything from her. Friends could have dates, there was nothing wrong with that. Plus, she really was looking forward to seeing everything that the carnival had to offer.

The witch dressed with care and headed into town, slipping her hand in the pocket of her blue and red heart print dress as she neared the carnival. Would her date be waiting at the entrance, or was she going to have to search everywhere? Things sure seemed awfully huge once she got close.. Palming the puzzle half, she took a deep breath and began to wander. Thankfully she didn’t have to go far, before she noticed a blonde woman doing the same. And oh..what a relief to see who it was! “Miss May!” Daisy called, hurrying to meet the other. “You’re my match!”
