why does all of my inspiration strike at 11 o clock at night while my phone is on 3% :(

[toomanygoldfish]

Atsumu makes a competition out of every thing. You cannot tell me that this man didn’t absolutely crush everyone in a carrot eating competition as a kid. This also applies to his relationship with you, just a bit more lighthearted.

“Bet I can do the dishes faster than you can!”

or

“Who can get this stain out better”

of course you rise up to the challenge because you simply can not let him win.

at some point the house becomes so spotless that the two of you turn to board games to satisfy your need to squash the other person.

Eventually it comes to a head and after one particularly tense discussion you decide that you will only be playing cooperative games from now on.

(however when you play competitive games with other people, your agreement dissolves for the night and whoever wins gets gloating rights)

What gets the two top models of Japan and a streamer to start dating? Obviously it's being shipped with someone you hate and a stalker! Wait what?

Sakusa Kiyoomi and Suna Rintaru are the top two male models of Japan, they're also a couple known to be poly. Something their fans are using to ship them with someone they hate. Y/n L/n, a growing streamer, has a stalker. She would do anything for a sense of safety. Hence a Not fake dating fake dating scheme.

I’d bet 50 bucks that Sakusa has moles and freckles all over his body. And another ten dollars that he lets you connect them like constellations.

(Sliding you 5 dollars under the table) he also gets a fine liner marker and names them after some inside joke that you guys have

Which drink (of any kind) could be deleted from existence?

#ask.revival 2024

I can’t think of any drink that has hurt me enough that I wish for it to be deleted form existence, except for hot sauce, but still

[toomanygoldfish]

I hereby invite you, dear fellow Tumblr user, to play a game with me, to connect, to get to know each other and have fun.

All you have to do: interact with this post. Like it, reblog it, comment on it.

As soon as you do that, I will hop over to your site, take a little look and send you an ask. Sometimes it's a question, or a little quest, other times a compliment, but always something nice to brighten your day.

And if you want, you can do the same. Just don't forget to use the tag #ask.revival 2024

Behind the Scenes of a Writer - tag game

This is a long one is Buckel up

Started writing: I have been writing little works of original fiction for as long as I can remember. I have always had these little stories playing in my head and was always eager to share them. I’ve always admired authors who can write one little line and when you pull it, it will lead you deeper into the narrative. (Brandon Mole, Brandon Sanderson, Orson Scott Card, Tamora Pierce, Shanon Hale (all are great authors. You should read their books)) I also write poetry pretty often. I love being able to share what is happening in my brain and reading about what happens in other people’s minds.

Started blogging: I started blogging February(?) of last year. I had recently found out that some of my friends had been sharing their original works for a while online. While I had thought about it before it had never really occurred to me that I could do it. I had looked at some other sites but was slightly disappointed because it felt like I would need to post a multiple chapter piece to write on them. Then I found tumblr and I started writing.

Followers: my follower count is about 50-60. It makes me so happy that people read my stuff and like it enough to follow!

Likes: I have actually fiddled with my tumblr so that I can see every interaction in my blog. I like being able to see the journey of people exploring my blog. It makes me smile to see people favorite multiple things in a row. Or to see returning people on my new posts.

Communication: I do like talking to people for whatever reason. It’s cool to meet new people that I would never have met normally. So if you want to talk you can send me an ask or something. But if you are a bit too nervous to talk, don’t worry, you can just heart or reblog something and I’ll see it.

Requests: I like them because it gives me something to build off of, so when I really want to write something but I don’t know what I should write I will look at some requests. Unfortunately that means I don’t write for all of them, but I do like them!

Writing: I write at a medium pace. I could write more often, but I do prefer to write slower because it gives me a bit more time to put a more personal touch on my writing. I want everything I write or create to have a small bit of me in it, even if it is just my thoughts of how the setting influences the characters.

Why do you write? : this is my own question, but I do think it is an important one. I write to show people a glimpse into a world that you can’t see. That could be from a TV series that can’t show how people feel on screen, or a continuation of a scene that stopped. I just know that whatever I write will let me show a small piece of a bigger picture.

the movie “up” or “big hero six”

i'm just curious bc i'm watching How to Train Your Dragon and i always forget how happy and calm it makes me feel. i mean, i did name my cat after Toothless the dragon. but i also love Lion King, that's my Disney comfort movie. and my Ghibli comfort movie is Spirited Away. watching any of these when i'm in a foul mood or my anxiety is high always helps 🥰 but i watch them just for fun too, not only when i'm in a mood. what about you?

Catching feelings

word count; 1261 – f!reader

The metro is so disgusting, why can’t everyone just practice basic hygiene and then it wouldn’t be such a terrible place-

Why is that woman staring at me?

You’re not subtle at all, glancing over at the black-haired volleyball player every three seconds before quickly looking away when you see that he’s looking. As he raises an eyebrow at you, it makes you hesitate, not turning away from him this time.

You were wearing a mask and seemed to pull it over your cheeks properly before shyly pointing at him. No, not at him, he realised. You were pointing behind him.

Sakusa slowly turned to look over his shoulder, only to take in a sharp breath as he realised he was sitting right in front of a huge poster from his most recent skincare commercial, one of the few he agreed to do for the extra paycheck.

He awkwardly swivelled back towards you, where he could read the wrinkled corners of your eyes as a smile. Your shoulders were shaking slightly and he sighed deeply at the realisation that you were laughing.

Sakusa was, undoubtedly, feeling a sense of embarrassment. Luckily, your attention seemed to catch onto the incoming train instead, and you only glanced briefly over at him before getting on it.

For the most part, he forgot about that incident in the following weeks. There was nothing to remind him, no reason to take the disgusting metro again.

Until a couple of weeks later when he once again had no other choice. He descended the stairs and glanced over to see if the poster was still hanging there but stuttered in his steps.

You sat in the seat beside where he sat last time, looking around quite awkwardly.

Sakusa stopped walking when you found his gaze but frowned as your eyes seemed to light up. Quite the contrast in your expressions.

Sakusa looked away. He did not want to see you laugh at him again.

Except he didn’t look away, he kept glancing back at you because he had to admit, only to himself, that you were quite pretty.

Why do his cheeks feel hot and why hasn’t he thought more about how disgusting the metro is?

When he didn’t walk away, you got up and acted quite coy as you walked over to him. “That sunscreen can’t be very good, you look a bit red,” you teased, pointing over your shoulder at the ad.

Sakusa eyed you cautiously, huffing sharply. “You’re imagining things.”

“Okay,” you agreed, saving him from more embarrassment. “Are you a model?”

Sakusa sighed, hoping he didn’t seem too pleased that you were talking to him. “No.”

You smiled more at the short answer, bumping your elbow into his arm. “Actor? I don’t think I’ve seen you in anything. I would’ve remembered.”

A little sound of victory went off in your head when he looked back at you with that glare and those sweet red cheeks. At least the little parts you could see of them. He took a second to answer as if debating how to approach it. “Volleyball player.”

“Volleyball?” you repeated. “I never met a volleyball player before.”

“Meet a lot of professional athletes?” he asked.

You chuckled softly. “No, I suppose I don’t.”

The two of you fell into silence, and just as you wanted to ask something else, your train rolled into the station.

“That’s me. See you around, Sakusa.”

He only lifted his hand to wave briefly, letting you walk away.

Sakusa looked over at where his poster was still up on the wall, albeit a bit more torn than last time, and saw his name written at the bottom in fancy lettering. He didn’t ask for your name.

Sakusa couldn’t fathom this. He couldn’t fathom the fact that he told Hinata not to pick him up this morning, choosing the metro instead. He couldn’t fathom the fact that he was hoping to see you again.

And he couldn’t fathom the fact that you weren’t even there.

All hope is lost, there’s no use ever taking on another love interest and he has no prospects for friends outside of the volleyball world-

“Hey there, stranger!”

He nearly jumped out of his skin and then awkwardly nudged your hand off his shoulder before meeting your eyes. You wore a mask again, of course, and he was thankful he wore his too so you wouldn’t see the slight smile on his lips. “Hi.”

“Going to work?” you asked, gathering your hands behind your back to show you understood he didn’t like touching.

He relaxed his shoulders for just a second until someone brushed past him and he was made painfully aware of where he was.

But he was there to talk to you.

By choice.

“I am.” He seemed to think hard. “Are you?”

“I am,” you copied, leaning just a tad closer so he could hear you. “Are you preparing for any games in particular?”

Sakusa huffed out a short ‘heh’ at how unsure you sounded, like you weren’t sure if they would be doing such a thing. “There’s a game this weekend.”

“Cool! Do you feel prepared?”

Sakusa thought about how Atsumu had forced him into late practices in exchange for driving him home the last few weeks, pushing him to try some new sets or receive his different serves. “I do.”

“Good, good.”

You almost fell into an awkward silence when he broke it first, catching you slightly off guard. “What’s your name?” he asked, making you feel silly for never telling him.

So you told him now, and he seemed to need a moment to process it as he nodded his head silently and you got distracted by his gorgeous curls, so you fell into another short silence.

“I haven’t gone to a volleyball game before,” you suddenly said, glancing sideways at him and rolling on the balls of your feet.

He knew what you were doing. It was obvious and it shouldn’t make him so happy that you were. “You should come to this one,” he said, and it didn’t hold any particular tone of excitement but made you blush nonetheless.

“Are there still available seats?” you asked, making Sakusa fish out his phone and a small bottle of disinfectant from his pocket.

“Just a moment, please.” Your eyes followed his movements curiously.

He held out the disinfectant and you put your hands under it, never one to deny free sanitiser but mentally questioning the timing. “My train is almost here-“ After you had properly distributed the disinfectant, Sakusa handed over his unlocked phone with an open ‘new contact‘ page, and you looked between him and the phone in a fluster.

“Put your number in, I can get you a ticket.”

You put in your number, trying to act so very cool about it despite the way he was staring as you did it. “Text me, then?” you confirmed, hearing your train arrive.

He gave you a thumbs up, trying to move out of the way of people running to catch their train. “I will.” And as you turned to walk away, he gathered up one last ounce of guts. “Dinner after the game?”

Even while hurrying onto the metro, you managed to look over your shoulder and nod, giving him a thumbs up back. “You got it!”

Sakusa took off his mask when he got to work and Atsumu did a double take that made him trip over Hinata.

“Something is seriously wrong,” Atsumu said. “Sakusa is kinda smiling and it’s 8 in the morning.”

just wanted to let you guys know that something is in the works, so here are to clips from my current fic. (which is a lot bigger than I thought it would be)

“The next time you saw Sakusa you were able to remember him.

You were transferring schools at 16 after spending a few years in America. You were finally moving back to your childhood home and going to a new school.”

“‘Do you know Sakusa? I don’t think I’ve seen him even acknowledge anyone someone hasn’t introduced to him before’

‘Um… I know of him, we talked once when we were like 10 at volleyball camp’”

[toomanygoldfish]

hi… life has been hectic. Expect something out soon. The poll is for research purposes.
