#[ catch me rambling again smh ]

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

howdy again, sorry for bothering you so much! i'm not sure what your work experience is like but if you're new to the work force something i saw a while back was to act like i'm a background character doing what x characters do

so for example: i'm a graphic designer and when i have a big project that needs all my focus, it's been helpful for me to think "what would a background graphic designer character be doing during a scene?" somehow when i get into that mindset, it really helps me stay in the zone

sorry if none of that made sense, but when you mentioned masking it made me think of my little trick! ((also also i'm maybe totally not working on some laughingstock of my own as we speak LMAOOOOOO--))

no wait that's actually a Stellar tactic. my work experience boils down to: i've volunteered for a Thing a few times and thats it. and the whole time i had an internal dialogue of "be normal be normal Be Fucking Normal whatever you do don't be too You" but like... damn... if i'm just a background character....

grah Thinking About my tma x mechs au again,,, Lyf is there bc im obsessed with the aus where they reunite with the mechs,, this wasnt meant to be the purpose of the post but heres a lyf doodle im still trying to figure out their design:

i dont like much of it but the bifrosty bits are awesome,,, ANYWAYS where was i,,

rest is under the cut bc my ramblings got long

ashes toy soldier and jonny were blasted down to earth for some reason against their will by the other mechs (probably just for fun) and toy soldier immediately wandered off and found (was found by?) the stranger; ashes and jonny are having a competition to see how many fucked up things they can do without anybody catching on and discovering who they are. they did not anticipate the sheer amount of supernatural stuff on this planet that Nobody Talks About

jonny refers to the way he dresses as the archivist as his lyf cosplay

also in this au jonny uses he/him but as jon uses they/them,, i said this in a previous post but in case anyone's confused about how i refer to him in this post

back to toy soldier with the stranger, nikola finds them and is like 🫵 ur just like me fr and like. idk if she yoinks its voicebox (third hand smh) or if she just has a different one but its uh,, i lost my train of thought hang on

actually i think it would be funnier if it somehow took nikola's place on accident. maybe it yoinks her mannequin head and cool outfit (it likes fun uniforms!) and everyone just believes it.

idk man i thought it would be funny if the two animate models played by jessica law were somehow stuck in the same body, but reading up on toy soldiers backstory my idea wouldnt work,,

maybe toy soldier comes to earth way earlier, back when nikola is made and whatshisname mr orsinov models nikola after them and they're kinda just there from the beginning,,, i need to relisten to nikola's statement

sorry this has devolved into me thinking out loud in text post format but like. im having fun

how seventeen overhear their s/o talking lovingly about them

requested by anon : "imagine svt reaction to accidentally overhearing their s/o talking lovingly about them (to a friend, other member etc)"

masterlist

seungcheol

comes into the room just as you're telling your friend "he's just the sweetest person ever, i'm so in love with him—" before trailing off when you spot him standing in the doorway. grins, goes "i'm only the sweetest for you" before getting flustered at himself and promptly kissing the top of your head and just bolting out of the room

jeonghan

overhears you talking so fondly over the phone and just smiles to himself, retreating back into the living room. opens his arms for a hug once you've finished your phone call, going "you love me that much, hm?" all teasingly, but won't let you get flustered before he's leaving loads of little kisses over your cheeks

joshua

you don't even notice him in the doorway, too engrossed in rambling to your friend over the phone. he laughs to himself, leaning against the doorframe, watching you with a fond smile on his face and his cheeks pink until you finally catch his eye, getting all flustered yourself. walks over to you, tilts your chin upwards and kisses you right there, murmuring "i love you" against your lips

junhui

the poor boy's hearing isn't really the best so you'd have to be like. extremely oblivious to his presence as he noisily comes home early to you simply gushing about how much of a lovely boyfriend he is. laughs, drapes himself over you and kisses your cheek before running away, leaving you surprised and also shaking your head fondly as you hear him laughing in the distance

hoshi

tries to stand in the doorway all quiet and cool but he accidentally misses the frame when trying to lean against it and stumbles over his own feet, cursing so loud that it alerts you to his presence. you just look at him, shaking your head with a smile, then turn to your friend again and say "now this is exactly why i love him"

wonwoo

the stealthiest. was listening to the entire conversation from start to finish (your friend didn't even let you know smh) and comes and sits down next to you once you've stopped talking, smiling so lovingly and smugly at the same time and you just know. you just know he heard everything. ruffles your hair and kisses your cheek, telling you it's very sweet, and could your friend maybe leave now so he can kiss you senseless please? 

woozi

mentally files away everything you say about him, all the weird metaphors and the endlessly sweet words so that he can turn them around and use them for you, whether in song or little notes or whispering them to you when you're both soft with sleep. he's touched that you love him so much, and he wants to give all of that love back and so much more

minghao

he's not going to enter the room or let you know of his presence because this isn't something he's meant to be hearing. can't help but stand just outside the room though, a smile on his face, because wow, he didn't know he meant that much to you but he's so glad he does, because you mean so much to him too

mingyu

doesn't tell you that he overheard, but you know that he did bc he's just so giggly and literally like ^-^ around you for days. spoils you even more than before, compliments you every other minute, is so much clingier and tells you he loves you all the time because genuinely, he really really does. 

dokyeom

honestly i don't think this man can eavesdrop on a conversation to save his life. just starts giggling or letting out those little snorts or just bumps into something so he simply stops trying to listen in on conversations. it's a little hard to ignore you when you're screaming your love for him on the phone to your friend, though, and he just laughs and shakes his head, heart warm with love

seungkwan

tries to act all cool about it after hearing you talk about him to your friend but as you're going to bed that night he throws his arms over you and starts blubbering about how much he loves you and how precious you are to him and how he just feels so lucky to have known and been loved by someone as wonderful as you

vernon

tells you he heard you talking to your friend about him. goes "so i heard you talking to them about me" but before you even have a chance to say anything about it he's just grinning at you and teasing you endlessly about all the weird and strange things you like about him until you're so flustered and hitting him to shut up

chan

won't let you know he overheard you while your friend is still hanging out in your apartment, but once they're gone he sidles up to you like "...do you really like it that much when i do those stupid voices?" bc he just can't believe that you're so in love with something so silly that he does. also pls give him lots of love to his face from now on, he'd love it sm <3

vidcon 2024 !

hi guys this is my rambly post abt my experience at vidcon this year if anyone wants to read abt it! overall i wanna say that it was absolutely incredible and i def wanna go back next yearr

DAY 1: check in! literally nothing youtube related happened this day but it was fun as hell to check out the venue and meet up with my friends

DAY 2: smosh meet and greet day. holy shit. in the morning was anthony's ISADW matpat panel and besties when i tell you i was worried he wouldn't be there until I SAW HIM WITH MY TWO EYES. but incredibly he does exist? and he DID show up to vidcon? the panel was such a blast and it was interesting to hear about how the past few months have been for matpat. it was also just cool as hell knowing the rest of smosh was waiting right behind the curtain 🥹 and we could see nicole off to the side enjoying the panel. also shout out to @smoshkidtv who i got to meet before the panel and is legit the greatest i love them sm ok ty

then, almost right after, there's a post on socials that's like "get to the M&G early if you want free essentials merch!" so ofc me and a few friends BOOK it up to the M&G line and are prepared to sit and wait for like 4h lmao. we pass the time by watching smosh the movie and it goes by surprisingly quickly. after being moved into the official queue it's really not that long before smosh shows up and the nerves HIT. luckily we did show up early enough for the merch (smh for 4h we better have lmaoo) and it was so cool to talk to some of the crew (kiana/erica) passing it out. then the whole smosh cast comes out. weirdly the FIRST person i saw was marcus lmao but it was great to see him (and his eyebrows) in person.

i was near the very front of the line so i really didn't even have that much time to prep before i went up with my bestie of all time @smoshmonker! but waaaa ok so we go up and anthony calls out the shirt i'm wearing bc it's a recreation of my fave 2006 catch em all shirt

he asks if i bought it from smosh.com and i go "i made it actually!" and he's like :000 and thinks it's really cool until spencer yells "DUPE" and they all get fake mad at me LMAO. i remember ian going "we're gonna sue your ass" and i'll cherish that forever. anyways then i introduce myself and say that i do art n shit and nearly forget to say my name. but holy shit guys... the second i go "my name is ana", i see ian and anthony LIGHT up 🥺 they immediately recognized me and seemed excited to see me, it was genuinely so surreal. i didn't get to talk to anthony much directly bc he was standing in the back but it looked like he WANTED to say smth to me and even that was wild. and ian was so fuckin sweet and complimentary abt my art. then i ask if we can do a friendship always wins highfive pose. ofc i ask if ian and anthony can reach each other even tho they're not standing right next to each other. bc quite frankly, what's the point of doing this pose if the besties aren't highfiving?

then the second pose was more of a surprise for @yourinterestisnotcringe hehe. we brought out a potato plush for ian to hold and he was too fuckin cute about it. he was absolutely charmed by the idea of the lil potato plush and i love this pose that he went for lmao

then as we're about to leave, ian surprises my by going "thank you for all of the cool art that you make!" and i'm just .. on fucking cloud 9. i go absolutely breathless for a moment when ian hecox, standing right in front of me, thanks me for the stuff that i make. i stutter out smth like "sorry but can i hug you?" and him being the sweetest man ever goes "absolutely!" and goes in for the hug 😭💕 it was the perfect hug and i'll forever have the mental image of his lil gold chain sparkling in the light.

then we go off to the side and @squig-s is there talking to erica and kiana again and ?? they introduce me to alé? who was so freakin cool and lovely and reached out to shake my hand. then to be quite honest we all leave the meet and greet and have a good fuckin cry bc we JUST MET SMOSH

DAY 3: panel day! we get there early as FUCK bc we have a Plan(tm) and need to be in the front row to execute it lmao. like 10 months ago we had the plan for a bunch of us to dress as that damn neighbor at vidcon and damn it, we WENT for it.

also here's ian and anthony (and damien lol) shouting us out at the beginning of the panel

the panel itself was a ton of fun! it was a live reading of reddit stories and one of them was NUTS. it was such a blast to receive a live update tbh. then RIGHT after the reddit panel ended, we had to book it upstairs to get seats for the smosh mouth panel.

I don't remember a ton from this one other than them talking about boobs for most of it. also !! krungle is returning!! i'm so fuckin excited i'd die for krungle i can't wait to have her back. also anthony was sitting on the ground off to the side of the panel and i made awkward eye contact w him a few times lol. i am also honestly bummed that ian wasn't the guest for this one, but spencer and angela were great and they really just goofed off for an hour, it was a fun time.

DAY 4: the last day of vidcon </3 there wasn't a ton on the schedule today regarding smosh, but i DID have a slot for the mari meet and greet so i made sure to go check that out and ?? holy shit ALL of OGSoG was there 🥺 i had actually met them before at a con years ago and it was so wild to see them again, i really didn't think i'd be able to. this meet and greet was SO much more chill than smosh just based on nerves. these 4 were honestly so sweet and the vibes were so fuckin goofy it was lovely ♡ also who's gonna tell joven that this isn't a heart

then we had the mythical kitchen panel! it was a lot of fun even tho i only rly knew trevor and josh oop. trevor was such a sweetheart and stayed after at the end to take some pics and i got one with him on my fuckin 3DS lmao. i love the crunch of this pic, it's one of my faves from the weekend tbh. also i pray to GOD that he wears this hoodie again. he looks so good in pink

but that's pretty much it! idk if anyone is even reading this so hi if u did ♡ it was such a magical week and i'm so so so fuckin grateful for it all

[fuckthemforthis]

Maribor recap or long rambling, some pics and trying to make sense in my head:

1. Thank you @chibi-chellist again for reaching out, it meant a lot not to be alone! Rambling about the boys is so much better in person and when it's not one-sided. I enjoyed meeting you and sharing experiences! 💕

2. Kaj pa Ester? is one of the cringiest things I've recently seen, especially dialog wise haha BUT it is also funny and kinda cute. Very teenage-y I guess, with too much lots of kissing and parties for which scenes they used some terrible modern cajke music (like use the good old soul ripping ones that don't mention Elon Musk... teenagers today smh). Anyway, I wouldn't mind it being longer and better developed in the emotional areas which you see they scratched but need deepening to give an actual sense of plot and sense to the movie. Could be due to the fact it was supposed to be a show first tho. However, I couldn't see Bojan's personality, mannerisms or gestures so in that sense I feel he did a great job acting 👏

And THE SCENE. Oh boy. Less sad and more frustrated bojerking. Putting shame aside to admit I would love to have it available on demand, especially for some ragged breathing appreciation...

3. Bought and tried Jan's fav cookies, yaay! They're really soft and don't crumble so I approve and will enjoy. I'm sure sentimental reasons are definitely a big part of why he named them as favorite and when I think about it they really suit him but there are better Slovenian cookies like almost any from Težak bakery in Zreče.

4. Half the venue were teenagers or parents with anything between 4 to 12 year olds. I was surrounded. And since I sat a few rows above the backstage entrance, kids all tried reaching for them as they were going off stage and among all the girls there was an 8 (?) year old boy who reached out and Bojan gave him a high-five... and lemme tell you I very much dislike kids but the way that boy turned and excitedly smiled melted my icy heart.

5. Third concert of theirs, third time on Jan's side. And I think Kris somehow knows & takes revenge by not singing NGVOT whenever I'm in the audience 😔

Well Krisko, princess dear, no photos of you 😝

6. Found it adorable how as ASTP was starting, Nace went to drink some water, took his bottle and clinked it against Jure's 🥂

7. Love that Maks was there again, I like the guy. At some point during the concert he was leaning on the fence above me taking pics and I missed half a song watching him work 🙈

8. As I was behind the loudspeakers, I heard Bojan's singing fine, but talking barely because it was often too distorted. What I did hear was him saying we came there for a workout to burn all the cookie calories from the last few days... and boy are you on the wrong track because I came back home with four different packs of cookies 🍪

9. Band dad Niko's daughter was with him watching the concert from next to the stage and he danced with her and it was adorable. The existence of good dads baffles my poor unloved ass...

10. We all know how in the setlist there's a connection between Padam and Demoni because Bojan even sometimes said "and when we fall they come", but I realised the chain starts with Dopamin. First you get a dopamine rush and feel like flying but soon you experience a crash because your body used up all the good stuff and then comes the falling and the demons (and then you go back to someone so the demons would go away but that someone just plays you again - if I wanna extend it to Katrina). Yes it's kind of a concert - post concert sadness - concert rinse&repeat metaphor

11. Janči had problems with his pedalboard for the first two or three songs, he and Kiki spent minutes fiddling with it trying to get it to work. Poor guy can't catch a break.

12. So yeah, the last point is based on Jan being sick, but it's actually about the main reason I like them so much - the connection, love and care they share.

I realised Jan wasn't okay during the concert so Bojan just confirmed it for me. He obviously still slayed, and he went to play at the front a lot, but there were telling moments.

A) When Bojan came to Jan at one point and rubbed his back in a very non performative way, squeezing at his shoulder and whispering something.

B) When Jan plopped down during Padam I thought "not when he usually goes down, is he okay?" and then Bojan leaned down to stroke his hair.

C) The most telling of all, when he sat down during Umazane misli. I kept looking at him, ignoring the left-front-right karaoke. He looked so tired and off, put his head in his hands and then Kiki gave him a bottle of water. When Nace turned around and noticed him like that, he smiled encouragingly and told him it's okay three times (yep they were close enough to read lips) and that's when I was 100% sure something was wrong and he was either feeling off emotionally or sick. He then got up, went to the front, played his ass off and only when he was walking back was it visable again for a moment how empty his expression was.

D) Jure coming to comfort him and cheer him up as soon as he could lift his ass away from those drums, leading him to the front where in the end Jan turned out to be the one stroking Nace's back in a "yeah it's okay" kinda way

E) As they were leaving for the final time, someone gave Jan a wrapped present he looked actually happy about and he threw back a pick but it fell where the person couldn't reach so Nace took over making sure the person gets it.

That's it. They are all utterly beautiful. And anyone who knows me, knows I use that word to describe people first and foremost on the inside. Beautiful.

[monstrouslyobsessed]

—asks on beastfolks pt. 2

aaaa, my inbox…still fun tho. so uhh, feel free to keep them coming because i’m addicted to worldbuilding and you guys are my enablers.

tw / tags: postpartum depression, mental illnesses, cheating, pregnancy, long post

Oho would you be introducing us to another beastfolk chara of yours of is lady Hyena the only one? —anonymous

I answered this one here! i also recently posted one on papa bull :3 vvvv tempted to start writing a chaptered fic on him tbh…

how would beastfolks deal with their mate with postpartum depression? because you typed "well…i never did say that beastfolks are that well-versed in understanding humans’ mental health, did i?" —anonymous

nice catch! it really depends on the individual and their culture, but remember how i said that their morals differed from humans/our morals??? to the beastfolks, mental illnesses such as depression and bipolar disorders kinda…doesn’t really exist to them. or, rather, its not something they really understand??? even though they have human doctors explaining such things to them.

to most, they live with this view that, well, you gonna pull up your bootstraps and get going, suck it up buttercup, and all that.

now i’m not saying that beastfolks does not suffer from illnesses (of all kinds) because they do! their biology setups differs from ours so they experience things, particularly mental illnesses, a bit differently than we do so that also has a lot to do with their skewed views on mental illnesses. its also why most vets typically doesn’t like claiming that our pets irl have mental illnesses because again, they’re different from us (and that they cannot communicate but i digress). their brains are different, their hormone balances are different, etc. hell, they might have their own illnesses that we typically don’t have (cats’ fiv comes to mind).

now, how they would deal with their mates having postpartum depression, would depend on the individual. more empathetic ones, such as lady hyena, the lioness, and papa bull, would’ve taken their mates to the doctor and follow their instructions to the tee—though this typically happens if their mates are harming themselves in some ways, like losing appetite, unwilling to deal with their newborns, etc. more…assholery ones on the other hands, probably wouldn’t taken them to the doctor until very last minute 😬 if they have enough brain cells to see through their own pride and rush their mate to the nearest hospital, that is.

and supposed the beastfolk(s) are part of tribal / in the wild with no access to doctors…that depends, unfortunately. :\ beastfolks still have a looong way to go before they fully understand and be accepting of their humans’ needs and morals.

Would Beastfolks cheat on their humans mates? If yes , would have consequences? and what if for revenge their human mate cheat on them too ? would have consequences? —anonymous

uhhh, if a beastfolk cheated on their mate? they’re getting a version of scarlet letter on their back, basically. most of the beastfolks’ cultures condemns cheating to the point that the courts would probably favor the one who got cheated on for a change and the cheater would’ve gotten stunned from the society and even from their own families (blood related, found, mixed species family, doesn’t matter, most would disown them on the spot). so it’d be rare but it does happen.

not to say no member of every species never cheated but this also depends on the species as well for consistency sake. most canine-based species are mate-for-life and “mate sharers”, as would most bird species, but most ferocious serial cheaters would have to be rodent/lagomorphs-based (like rats and rabbits), and ape/monkey-based species though to the point that they would be used as an insult toward the cheater lol

if a human ever cheated on their beastfolk mate/owner…rip. they’d be locked away in the beastfolk’s home and be badly punished tbf. doesn’t matter if they got cheated on. it’s just better for the human to oust their cheating beastfolk spouse instead. lets the society do the humiliating.

cheating, like i said, is taken as a serious offense in most of their world.

now…if its a human cheating on their human spouse…er, beastfolks would shake their heads and call them a shitshow. it might actually give an interested beastfolk a legal leeway to swoop in and take the victim for themselves, since the human who married another human (need a term for this one) typically have legal protections—mainly for sake of keeping human population up. no beastfolks can touch them, not without facing legal consequences anyway.

What human food Beastfolks likes most? And what human food they really hate? —anonymous

depends on the species actually! 

canine-species beastfolks cannot tolerate chocolate and garlic, for example! they gets real sick from eating those. beastfolks’ diets typically parallels their irl counterparts, so like…cats irl cannot have our coffee or eat any citrus fruits, cat-based beastfolks cannot have them either.

now, they DO have their own alternatives though (the lioness have to have her coffees lol, but they needed to be made with cat-friendly version of our caffeine), some of it that humans cannot tolerate either lol.

likes/favorite foods depends on the individuals though. like, i do imagine lady hyena being a huge fan of her mate’s carrot cake recipe, but straight up hate the storebrought’s ones. both she and the lioness are nuts over burgers and chinese takeouts, but the lioness doesn’t like pizzas because cheesy textures bothers her. lady hyena doesn’t mind pizzas and sometimes like having some pineapples on them. neither can have garlic and onions on them though.

soooo all depends on the individual!

I want to ask if the human give more attention to the children than to their Yandere Beastfolks would they become jealous and territorial even with their own children😅? 🖤 —anonymous

depends on the individual! I highly doubt characters like the lioness, lady hyena, and papa bull would be too upset by their human mates’ overattentions on their children. they pretty much expected it and…what’s to say they couldn’t pull their mates away and make them to give them their attentions as well?

but, im sure there are quite an amount of beastfolks that do get upset by it. i want to say its more common with those who never grew up with other children or even raised them (my forementioned characters had all grew up in a pack filled with children and papa bull raised five of his on his own after his wife passed). those are the ones who doesn’t know what to expect with being a (first time) parent and might be over their heads.

and i’m sure that sadly there are also beastfolks who never wanted children in the first place but their instincts compelled them to take responsibilities. those would probably be the most harshest ones to for their human mates to deal with, when it comes to balancing acts between attentions on their child/ren and attention on their mate.

What would the Beastfolks do if their human mate wants to break up? Like just wanna be friends with they and nothing more . 🧐 —anonymous

that’d…probably be fairly rare, to have a successful break-up and staying friends afterward, but i’m sure there are quite a few civil resolutions. break-ups happens more commonly with those still in high/middle schools though, because most beastfolks are still understanding their own wants, needs, and their instincts. college-aged and older? beastfolks already know what and who to look for. they follow their instincts and unless their desired human is already taken by another beastfolk* or married to another human, the human is most likely out of luck.

*they can still complete with their rival beastfolk, if the relationship with human isn’t documented as either married or pet and the beastfolk’s scent doesn’t run that deep in the human (more on that in a bit).

This is very silly but I want to ask what would be the reactions of Beastfolks with a human mate that is a messy eater. 👉👈 —anonymous

…had you ever seen how wild animals eat irl? i highly doubt a good amount of them even care, lol, at least not in their private homes. might be something else if in a formal setting or something tho.

Beastfolks live more than humans? If their kid said like” I hate mom ! She’s gonna leave me” to their human mate. What would be their feelings about this ? They would become paranoid? would reprimand their child for that?it's pretty tragic if you think about it 🥲 —anonymous

nope! they share the same lifespan, more or less!! so…rip humans, you’re stuck with your beastfolk mates forever.

What happened with the mother and father of lady hyena ? 🧐 —anonymous

who knows. i don’t think lady hyena really know who her father is tbh and her mom might still be around, actually. probably retired from the hyena clan’s political matters and is out there living her life and partying it up with older folks her age. she might be lady hyena and her mate’s kids’ babysitter every so often too.

again, who knows. family background isn’t usually something i really think about that much.

Would the Beastfolks let their human mate uses birth control ? I know it’s a pretty random question  🤷‍♀️ —anonymous

its actually encouraged by the doctors after their human mates gave birth, for at least several month! that way, they can recover and heal for next pregnancy should they want another one soon. there are also birth controls for both amab beastfolks and humans available if they really don’t want to have kids but still have breeding kinks.

so, yes! depends on the characters (since there are baby trapping beastfolks too😬), ofc, but its not a forbidden subject at all.

Why most beastfolks doesn’t like touching humans that had already been claimed before anyway? —anonymous

well, good question, it’s not so much with them being disgusted by it but it’s instinctive for them not to cross the one who claimed the human before. most beastfolks can smell scents, so if the former owner’s scent still lingers (which can last for a long time after their passing / disappearance), they…keep their distances basically and their instincts dampened the idea of taking the human for themselves.

now that i think about it, i do wonder if it wouldn’t be too farfetched in some parts of the world to quarantine the human so that scent can fade and the human would’ve been up for rehoming.

Idk if that’d be that common though because that’s taxpayers money tunneling into what people may perceive as a waste since the quarantine may take a good long time and human would have to have their needs covered and be provided for. it’d been quicker to just card the human as independent and let them be on their way. let nature to take its course, so to speak, and see what’d happen afterward.

i’d have to think more about this one, for sure.

Would Beastfolks to use humans like service dogs?

hi i asked the other question about whether beastfolks would use humans as service dog. however I would like to expand the question. would Beastfolks use humans as Service, Therapy & Emotional Support pets? P.S:because you typed "brutal mistreatments in some of the zoos (mostly those that were horribly ran and private owned), only a good amount of survivors never did forgive humans for that.""some of them did (sorta) change their tunes if / when they claimed a human though” —anonymous

i don’t see why not! they do have animals there (which may be awkward for some to think about, so you can imagine them as some kind of alien-looking animals instead if you want), but humans are pretty versatile! so i don’t doubt that there’d be many beastfolks who would love having their service, therapy, and / or emotional support humans doubling as their lovers lol

but when i made that remark, i was referring to them deciding to adopt a pet. i once knew an individual who made progresses in their childhood traumas with dog bites by…adopting a dog. admittedly, i thought that was odd at first, but that sort of thing was agreed on between the individual and their therapist. they actually looked pretty happy finally overcoming their lifelong fear of dogs last i saw them.

so i sorta borrowed that idea for the traumatized beastfolks. i doubt it’d work for everyone and some of them might actually just stuck with exposure therapies and never moved past that and leave humans be. still, as more and more commonplace human pets becomes, i’m sure a good amount of the zoo victims (those who were in very shitty zoos that is) would’ve considered trying to adopt after seeing other beastfolks being pretty happy with theirs. had all of them gone through it? no, but thinking about it is still progress for them.

I was scrolling down and I was NOT prepared to see that drawing of papa bull :O omg —anonymous

LOL, sorry!?? maybe i should’ve put that under readmore. whoops. 

How many children the bull dilf wants with his human pet? 👀 PS: 🪦 darling. —anonymous

…LOL uhhh…3+?💦 papa bull really do love being a dad tbh and watching his kids to grow up and be strong and happy adults. you know that iconic Dad Pride everyone wanted in their life? because thats him. hes the ideal dad everyone wants and be loved and supported by without judgment but with 100% love and pride for his kids. he doesnt gaf if his kids are lbgt+, what style or music they’re into, differing political opinions—he will respect and love all of his kids no matter what.

getting his mate pregnant is just a vvvv nice bonus for him tho.

9, 12, 14, for whoever comes to mind first? Curious for all your OCs 🙂 💙

OOO how about Charlie! I haven't posted about them in a long time and i was just thinking about them the other day 👀 (Here's some background info on Charlie if anyones curious: link 1 and link 2)

9. Do they have a word or phrase that they tend to overuse?

I like to pepper in traits that i have into my ocs sometimes, and as such, Charlie is from New England, and says "wicked" way too much. "Wicked cool!" is their go to. It confuses both people from other worlds and people from like, three states over.

12. How do they show affection to someone they love?

Charlie, being half dead, is extremely tactical with their affection. They like to to be physically close with the people they love, and they're a giant cuddle bug. They do have a lower core body temperature, nothing like shockingly cold, but noticeable, so if Charlie is physically close with someone, it's pretty clear they trust that person a lot.

14. What attributes do they have that are inherited from their parents or shared with their siblings/ other relatives?

Charlie is also an only child (i love my siblings i swear 😅😅😅) however, they definitely inherited and learned a lot from their dad.

He was the only one who raised Charlie, but he wasn't exactly always on the right side of the law. He was trying his best, but he had a criminal background before Charlie and it's hard to get out of that crowd when you're sucked in (he does eventually tho! before he gets sick)

ANYWAY that's all to say that Charlie definitely inherited their taste for adventure that lead their dad down some interesting paths. Charlie is better at channeling this energy when they're fully alive, but after they kinda die, it's a lot harder for them to say no to adventurous ideas no matter how stupid and clearly dangerous they might be.

realistic reasons why genshin men are undateable‼️

ft: aether, albedo, razor, diluc, itto, gorou, childe, zhongli, kaeya, xiao (pt 2)

· · ───────────── ·𖥸· ────────────── · ·

aether

my man is too busy looking for his sister 💀

as nice as he his, he probs doesn't have room in his heart for a relationship

he travels so much, you'd probably get tired if you don't die in teyvat first

if we're talking ab abyss aether however...

he'd be way too obsessed and focused on overthrowing celestia and the gods

and even if he does have room in his heart for you, don't expect to be the first priority

albedo

let's be honest, he doesn't have time for a relationship

he'd probably get bored once he's done learning everything there is to know ab you

a workaholic, working 24/7

also unless you're a science nerd like him, don't be surprised if he just decided to drop you bc you can't catch up with his science ramblings

id imagine he'd use you for weird experiments like in his story quest

razor

a furry

can't communicate

would probably start barking at you idk

would 100% try to lick you

very overprotective bc of his past

would try to give you dead rabbits and squirrels as gifts/signs of affection like how cats or dogs do

diluc

emotionally unavailable but he's hot so it's fine

if you're more emotional/sensitive then he's gonna make you cry at one point or another bc of how cold he is

has his walls built so high, it's gonna take persistence to take them down

too busy running a whole wine industry + protecting monstadt at night

would be SUPER overprotective, borderline suffocating. he's gonna try to hold on to you until it hurts

he doesn't mean it ofc, he's just scared of losing you (fatherless behavior smh)

he needs to get a lot of his shit together before he can start a proper relationship *cough cough* KAEYA *cough cough*

itto

he's a complete dumbass, just like any other typical himbo

is the type to plan out a whole party and buy a bunch of gifts only to get your birthday date wrong

it's endearing but it might get annoying at one point

definitely gets into a lot of trouble with city authorities, you'd always have to clean up his mess or bail him out

again, he never has bad intentions, but it's gonna get annoying at some point

gorou

another furry

better get used to him talking ab how amazing kokomi is

also gives off overprotective vibes

doesn't have much time or room for you, at least not until the resistance is over

childe

too busy killing people 😘

depending on who you are, dating a fatui harbinger might cause some problems

unless you're cool w trying to drown a whole nation and commiting genocide idk

even though he comes off as friendly, he probably has also built walls like diluc, they're just not as obvious

somewhere deep down he's scared he might end up harming you or losing you, since he's well aware of his position and what he does

(bro did you see that line in his story quest where he says smth like "if i were to quit being a harbinger I'd love to travel the world w you😭)

ok that's enough childe for today, and yes i will be writing a fanfic later

zhongli

this peepaw is hella old fashioned

being the god of contracts, he's gonna expect 100% loyalty, and might get a wee bit possessive, even if it's not obvious

he's just incredibly good at hiding it

being immortal, he might not even try to date you in the first place bc he knows you can't have a "normal" relationship

he'd rather not have you at all than to watch you grow old while he stays the same, eventually having to sit by your deathbed

oh geez that got dark quickly didn't it

but if he does have you, he's not letting you go, even if you don't want him anymore

will probably try to keep you forever bc of the "contract" y'all made😨

someone write a yandere zhongli fic and send me the link pls 😘😘

kaeya

we've all seen him weasel his way out of doing his work

would try to manipulate you with his smooth talk

although his heart is set in the right direction, much like diluc, he needs to get his shit together before he can carry a healthy relationship

also would probably come home drunk a lot

having a "flirty personality" can often be mistaken for flirting with others

so unless you're a holy nun or smth you're gonna argue ab it with him at some point

xiao

bold of you to assume he's gonna even pay attention to you

as we all know, he comes off as cold and standoffish, even if he might not mean it

he's just carrying way too much on his shoulders to also have a relationship as well

his karmic debt as well as the duty of the sole protector of liyue is going to put a burden on him, and he wouldn't want others to share that burden with him

despite how he feels about you, he's only ever going to see himself as a protector, never your partner

because his sole priority is to keep you safe, and keeping you safe means not getting too close to you

might even go out of his way to be mean to you just to make sure you won't get close to him☹️

but even so, he'll be there when you call, since he is your protector after all

a/n: damn the amount of ff inspo i got just from writing a stupid hc...

[emmyrosee]

hi hello first time in your inbox, great admirer of your work, how’s it going? I’ve been consumed with thoughts of osamu being a teasing little bitch lately I just need a safe space to get the thoughts out or I WILL combust !!

I’m very easily flustered but I enjoy the attention from the person I’m with/into specifically, so the thought of Osamu picking up on that and making it his mission to get his s/o to blush/laugh/hide away by any means necessary has been great for my imagination

Oh, getting closer to their face makes them forget what they were saying and stumble over their words? It makes a big smile appear? Noted. Nuzzling into their neck makes them giggle and whine about how he “can’t do that because we’re literally in a groCERY STORE, STOP WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS OHMYGOSH” when his nuzzles turn into those tickly neck kisses? Cute. He also discovers he loves their laugh and doesn’t care if they’re in the middle of a phone call, or in front of friends, if he has a chance to hear his favourite sound, he will. He lives for the sight of his s/o getting all nervous and flustered because of him just giving them a little extra love. Very touchy, just in general, cause he likes that he still has an effect on them, it reassures him sometimes to know they still want him and like his affection, even if it is teasing. He’ll also flirt with them years into the relationship cause he likes the way they get all shy and hide their face in his neck or chest and complain about him being unfair, cause I don’t think he’s very easily flustered in this context.

This got… MUCH longer than I thought it would I’m so sorry??? But I hope you enjoyed my rambling and my thoughts of the loml Miya Osamu <3

-anon <3

ANON 😭❤️ first of all, your words literally are gonna make me cry tf.

SECONDLY??? OSAMU DOING LITTLE THINGS TO MAKE YOU EXTREMELY FLUSTERED IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE. ILL SOB IN HIS MOUTH, I WANNA MARRY HIM SMH.

The first time it happens, it’s a complete accident, you’re rambling on about something he did to annoy you, and despite how much he tries to apologize, you won’t listen, so he finally works up the nerve to just grab your waist and push you against the counter, towering over you and just giving you his most sincere voice.

“I’m sorry, sugar. I didn’t mean it, and I’ll try not to do it again, ‘kay? There ain’t much more I can say; don’t be mad anymore, it ain’t worth it.”

But all you notice is the way he’s absolutely mammothed over you, massive paws on your hips and how he’s so close, you can feel the heat from his breath and the ‘sugar’ that falls casually. Your chest heaves quickly, your teeth sink into your lip, and he almost thinks you’re about to cry when you give him a nod and wobbly-smiled “love you.”

He’s nodding on the outside, but on the inside he’s like oH B))))

It’s a spiral from then on.

He’s so anNOYING I LOVE HIM he’s like. He tries to be subtle first because the last thing he wants is to make you uncomfortable, so it starts small.

A massive hand on your hip when you walk around, smirky little “what’s up, sexy?” when you call his name, he even does that obnOXIOUS thing where he bends over to try and hear you clearer, his face inches from yours. It makes you stammer and struggle over your words, and he merely gives you a chuckle with a kiss on your cheek.

Anything and everything to make you squirm in public.

Once he realizes that in a way, yes, you do love the over exaggerated affection he gives you, there is no hope for you. Good luck. 

“Samuuuu…” you whine, shoving him off of you and pushing the cart, your face scorching from the affection. “I don’t bully you like this, stop it…”

“Stop it,” he mimics with a cheesy smile, easily catching the hand you were gonna smack him with, and planting a kiss to the palm. “Fine. I’ll behave or whatever.”

Things chill after that, but he’s still a menace, so when he starts to feel like you’ve been at the market too long, or he’s bored and needs a pick me up, he’ll wrap your arm slowly around your waist- you’re literally looking at chips he’s so mean- and bury his face in the crook of your neck with a soft “baaaaabe…” you can’t see it, but he’s bent over dramatically just to be able to do this, and you cannot stand it.

“Go away Osamu, I’m almost done.”

“But I want to go home,” he pouts, turning his head to nuzzle against you. His nose tickles over your neck, and you can’t hold back the giggles that bubble over your throat. “Want to spend time with you.” His teeth nip at your jawline, and you jump with a squeak.

“We are spending time together,” you choke. “Back off.”

“Make me.”

Immediately, his cold ass fingers slip under your shirt to make you squeal even more, and he smirks against the warm skin of your neck as everyone in the aisle goes silent. He hears you clear your throat and mumble a quiet “okay.. we can go,” before raising up and grabbing the cart from you with a cocky smile.

He’s just… he’s a fUGGEN MENACE OKAY, HE Has no self control when it comes to anything, ever.

Dinner with your friends? He’s drawing innocent circles on your inner knee, just tickly enough to make you itch but not enough to scold him yet.

Watching the Jackals with his family? He’s nosing at your hair, taking inhales of your scent- it would be cute if he wasn’t whispering flirts in your ear at the same time.

One time, he was too flirty and you were having none of it, and some random man and his wife asked if you were comfortable with Osamu; it was with great embarrassment that you had to convince the couple that you two were, in fact, in a consensual relationship, and if you thought Osamu would reel in his flirts you would be absolutely wrong.

It doesn’t matter what. It doesn’t matter where. It doesn’t matter who’s around. Osamu miya takes his pride whenever he makes you writhe just from his presence.

It does, however, balance out in the most innocent touches, and the way he never loses the loving gaze on you that he tries to cover with his ridiculous smirks and flirts, and at the end of the day, when you’ve got your 6’2” manimal nuzzled under your chin, it makes all the concerned looks and awkward glances from others worth it.

The way he looks at you like you’ve sewn the stars in the sky, the way he listens to you like law as you speak, how warm his hands are as he soothingly rubs them up and down your back.

He’s lucky he’s so cute.

He’s a goddamned freak.

I love him so much.

[6okuto]

A lot of people are asking about Felix (and I love it because I love him) but what about Sage? Our depressed and traumatized himbo? When I read his chapter 12 i wanted m o r e, because yes, there was a lot of angst and a little hurt/comfort but then? What happened during the night? Because he and mc decided to wait until the next day to ask the rest of the group for help so i need some headcanons about how they spent the night. Did Sage agree to sleep next to mc or did he go as far away as possible because he needed space? Did he sleep or did he stay awake with the fear that mc would disappear again and they would leave him alone again? Did they kiss? Did they have sex? And what kind of sex did they have? Because the next day they would go to fight and it could be their last day and Sage went six months without mc so I guess they did something during the night... I just need more of that Sage xjscsjec

ur right. ur right i forgot what happened with sage because i kept writing about felix but Man...my little meow meow :( SORRY I STARTED RAMBLING ABOUT SAGE'S CHARACTER i feel very strongly about him. me and my silly traumatized characters heehooheehoo

sadly everybody i do not think we're fucking sage tonight. that's an entirely different post and time

i think that would just. conflict with his entire. Thing rn LOL

he spent so much time alone and was forced to process that mc was gone, in his mind permanently, and like :/ for them to show up so suddenly . he wishes he could feel more excited or relieved but everything's different now . MAN they characterize this guy so well smh

if mc asked him to stay close he wouldn't reject them but i don't think he'd cuddle up real close. and mc seems to realize that themself so i don't think they'd even ask it of him

you can really see it with all the little moments they have of mc saying they won't touch him if he doesn't want them to, being careful with their questions, him ultimately not taking the leaf that falls on mc's shoulder off, but not moving away and leaning into their palm, when he says "it's fine if it's you".

sage survival mode = suppression, hiding emotions, and building walls. one night won't be enough to break them down again even though i Do love a good emotional breakdown . this shit is going to have long-term effects fr. yess dismissive-avoidant attachment style!! /sarc

so for sage it's this balance teetering between the 6 months' toll on his vulnerability/optimism/confidence vs knowing mc, realizing they care and want to help him, that they really are fine right now even if nothing else is. and this battle isn't really new to him but what is overwhelmingly new in ch. 12 is the appearance of mc. so the coping mechanism that he knows best is probably going to win because. it Works

eough. sorry was all of that obvious . i got carried away hold on

i imagined that sage would keep a distance but close enough to protect mc if something were to show up. like a few feet kind of deal. though if mc asks to sit closer he'd let them

him saying he'll take watch and mc being like no way. and they're both stubborn as hell so mc probably ends up staying up with him unless/until they fall asleep

i wouldn't be surprised if sage got nightmares about stuff. whether it was fighting or mc dying or something else. it would probably be a reason why he chose to stay up (though he won't bring it up unless mc figures it out. in which case he'll dismiss it and say that it's fine, that he just doesn't want to deal with them tonight. not like they can be much worse than the reality of it all, he guesses.)

the banter. is not super fun. your two options are ask him about the traumatic 6 months, or talk about the fucking...hour?? you spent away. like woo yeah lots of content lots to giggle about

there's probably sage catching mc up with the least amount of gory sad details he could. mc asking how he managed, the plans for the next day,, what mc would have to do and what to expect,, that kind of stuff

perhaps some dry humour. mc asking about his outfit and masking any possible concern by teasing him a little because hm...all this and you still have no shirt on? love your consistency

but once you get through all that it's like. ok. [crickets]

mc falling asleep . sage watching them and finally letting himself remember the time they spent together before everything came crashing down.

sage wanting to push hair out of their face or put them in a more comfortable position but not wanting to touch them (smth smth feels guilty and like he shouldn't smth smth figurative blood on his hands and touching the person he loves who he failed smth smth)

if he does sleep i know that guy couldn't figure out if he wanted to face mc or not. stares at them but ultimately turns his back ough

all in all :sob: not super fun. if i'm sort of right then this energy will still be there in the morning tbh. maybe with a couple more witty remarks :woozy_face:

i'm sure they'll have more scenes soon of sage being more vulnerable and mc helping him but :( first night back (neg, sad)

𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲

Word count: 2760+ (i'll try to keep bigger lengths such as this one!)

Synopsis: You meet a new classmate who's working along Nanami, you think he's fun to be around, it stands the same to him about you. Later, feelings unravel.

Contents/Warnings: (1) Itadori Yuuji x gn!reader (2) FLUFF, TONS OF FLUFF - and some comfort (3) With the small participation of... Ino Takuma!! I really like him too, that's why <33333 (4) This is pretty platonic, but also not? (5) Ending turned sorta cliché... but I liked it u.u

A/N: This boy made me run rampant... to fhe point it's not single attraction anymore I just wish him happiness (smh if only my parents knew...) also next post will be Toji's fic pt. 2! Y'all see the first part is almost reaching 100 kudos????? I'M SO HAPPY EHSODJWKDKSJD- thanks for all the new followers and the support!! <33

Ever since his fake death, Itadori has been training alone with the help of Gojo - and now, he works along a freshly new face, who belongs to a senior, founds out ex-salaryman named Nanami Kento. He's far a thousand times more strict than Gojo. Itadori doesn't really likes the change, because Nanami is a person he can't get along. This whole guy's appearance scream "work 4 life"; he has proved different, now he screams "work is shit - but I gotta do it because others won't".

They've just finished cleansing the outside of a movie theater off a few curses, when Itadori hears shouting from far behind them. Two figures approach, waving excessively. He quickly picks on Nanami's tired sigh beside him.

"Nanami! We figured out you'd be here! Our mission has been finished and we wanted to catch up to have lunch together!" A male clad in a full black outfit shouts, he has brown hair and a beanie on top of his head, looking quite content.

The other person simply trots next to him in silence, approaching with a friendly smile. They notice Itadori faster than the male, smile widening and quickly waving hello, suddenly eager to reach up to them. The gesture makes the pink haired boy perk up, curious to why the other person looked so joyful. His question is easily answered, when they tug on the man's sleeve and motion to him.

"Ino, we have a third buddy!" The dude looks at him with widened eyes. "So nice to meet you, I'm Y/N L/N! It's great to see new faces around!"

Itadori smiles at your energy, knowing already he would click with you very well.

"I'm Ino Takuma, sorry for not noticing you before! Your uniform looks cool." Itadori exchanges a few compliments with Ino, before the man turns to talk with Nanami, leaving him and you together.

"Yes! I'm Sukuna's vessel, Itadori Yuuji-desu! My type of woman is Jenn-"

You turn to him. "So, are you a first year?"

"Geh? Weren't you dead though?!"

"I was!- I am!- Please keep secret."

"Okay!"

"Ahem." Nanami coughs, drawing attention. "I requested you two to not come after me today. Itadori here is the reason why."

"That's no problem, we're very capable of keeping secrets." You threw your arm over Itadori's shoulder, him nodding along with you.

"Oh really, then remember to keep quiet about it. I'll let this slide." The group of students nervously at Nanami's intimidating tone. "But, I'll get to have my break alone."

"Gah!" Ino exclaimed, watching Nanami walk away; he also left the responsability of taking care of Itadori for you two, leaving without a word. "It really had to be today, when Nanami would take us to his favorite bakery..."

"Crybaby." You teased. "Itadori here can't go outside where anyone can see him, he's dead. So, we were to order food either way because he shouldn't be left out."

"Augh okay, it would be unfair."

"So, where are you staying Itadori?"

"At Gojo's state!"

"Whoa, I've never been there before." Ino commented, waiting as you sent a message to Ijichi to pick them up.

"He's my teacher, a very cool one!"

"I imagine! Ooookay, once we get there I'll get the food."

Itadori felt as his chest would burst of excitement, finally there was people around him again, he couldn't be less happy about it.

"Sharing is caring!"

Itadori laughed as you wrestled with Takuma for some fries, netflix long forgotten in the background, as watching the banter was way more entertaining. Most of the time, Ino rambled a lot about Nanami, while he rambled a lot about Gojo. The guy even showed him the cool scar under his beanie. He felt kinda upset after explaining the exchange was just temporary, his stay under Nanami's wing wasn't decisive, and therefore, he was more like a classmate than a partner.

Itadori also learned a lot about you. He was surprised to find out that you, although energetic, was the one to speak the lesser in conversations. His surprisement grew even bigger when you told him you're a exchange student from Kyoto, arriving Tokyo about the same month as him - thankfully, you were to say for good.

Conversations flowed easily in the air, until a voice from the doorway barged in.

"Yuuji-kun! Don't forget about your lessons! Hi kids! Bye kids!" Gojo said playfully, throwing the familiar punching bear to Itadori before leaving.

"What's this thing?" Ino asked.

"It's to help me control my cursed energy. So while I watch the movies, if I don't charge it with cursed energy it punches me square in the face. I thought I had mastered this thing already, but he insist I keep training with it." Itadori grumbles.

"At least it's cute." You commented, taking a sip of your drink.

"Until it punches you in your face without warning!" The pink haired boy barks.

The talks died down, the three of you eating quietly when another movie is played on the screen. Itadori didn't bother reading the title, it was a plain one about a zombie apocalypse that got him extremely bored, yet he kept watching still so the plushie didn't punch him in the face again; he's been keeping a record since all his last cursed energy training lessons were a sucess to this day. When his head started nodding and eyelids dropping Itadori can't remember well, about fourty five minutes of movie perhaps? Make it fifty, the second slumber took over his body completely.

When he awoke once again, it was near midnight, the clock on the wall told him so. He also noticed a soft and warm surface supporting his head, figures, it's your shoulder he's resting into, he feels an arm around his own shoulders and your cheek placed upon his hair.

"Hey, it's late." You immediately notices he's awake, calling out softly. "You should sleep on your room, or something, better to your spine."

He chuckles when you poke his side. "But I'm comfortable here."

"I'm surprised, you just met me today, and now is sleeping on my shoulder."

"I'm not, that happens often to me."

"Sleeping on people's shoulders?"

"No! Making friends quickly." Itadori likes your gentle warmth, your hug, everything makes him feel at home. "I met two more people before you for two weeks, but they can't see me, because I'm dead."

"So I'll keep you company, that's my new mission."

His eyes widen at that, a oh so little blush covering the tip of his ears.

"For how many time I slept anyway?" He asks.

"About two- no, three hours. You missed two movies, and this one is about to end."

"And you stayed here the whole time?" He motions to your shoulder.

"Yep. That reminds me I gotta pee."

Itadori grumbles, but quickly lifts himself off you, respecting your needs. That gives him some time to look around, he notices Ino is gone, and the plushie sits quietly at the other side of the couch, unmoving.

"Y/N! How did you manage to make it quiet down?" He's beyond bafflet.

"...que."

"What!"

"I said!" You arrive quickly at the doorframe, hands still wet from when you washed them. "I used my innate technique."

"Oh! How is it like?"

"It's kinda funny, gimme a moment." You left to wipe off your hands, coming back in a second. "So, just like Shoko, I produce reverse curse energy, but it's quite different than hers, I can't heal people. That's why we often call it positive energy instead. I can use it to soothe off negative energy, so the bear has no cursed energy right now."

"How does it works on people?" He felt very curious about everything, asking away like a kid.

"Since everyone has negative energy, it just makes you sleepy really. But when it comes to curses it's really practical, I can either weaken it or, if the curse is like grade three or four, I can slap them off existence completely by wiping all their energy." You were naturally proud of having a such versatile power, your own energy swirling with pride around you.

"That sounds amazing! Is it why I fell asleep though?"

"Nah, only if I did it on purpose. I guess you were just tired, hope you don't mind I decided to let you rest today."

"No way, it was a good nap."

You nodded. "By the way, Ino left to attend to a drinking party, he paid for our food."

"Drinking? Is he old?"

"Yeah, he's twenty." You chuckled, already expecting that kind of reaction.

"No way! He looks young just like us!"

"That's totally my reaction after I learned he's twenty!"

After that day, you started visiting Itadori weekly to daily, after exchanging numbers he made a little group with you and Ino, naming it the "Nanami trio". But really, he exchanges more texts with you in private, be them memes, cool images he wish to share, etcetera. Although, Ino wasn't left excluded, he ofter brough his xbox to connect to Itadori's tv room and you all would spend hours playing together; he just didn't spend much time with both of you as much. And that was okay.

For a few days, your connection with Itadori died down when he didn't reply to your texts. They would remain unread for some time, the longest being half a day, until he would spam apologies then move on with the topic. That became a routine until one day when you came over to check on Itadori unnanounced, needin to ease off your worries about the boy, only to find him sobbing in the middle of a hallway, staring ahead and beyond, his back to you.

"Ita-?"

"Egh!" Startled, he scrambled to wipe his eyes, turning to you. "H-hey, um, hi."

"What happened?"

"I- he-" His eyes didn't met yours, knuckles white in a death grip. You notice he has a few bandages thrown over his face and arms. The way his shoulders are drawn, as if he wants to shrink into himself is something you've experienced before.

"Something hard to talk about?"

He nods almost immediately, head still facing down.

"It's alright, come with me." You reach for his hands, grimacing slightly when his forceful grip is now on your hand, yet you don't comment on it. He follows you through the state wordlessly.

You two stop on the same tv room, sitting down on the couch. You then guide his head to your shoulder, gently massaging his scalp with the free hand.

"It's alright."

Those two words are chanted like a prayer for the next half hour, at some point, Itadori twisted his body towards yours and unknowingly caged you between him and the sofa arm. He embraced you with a force you didn't have in you, like he didn't want to lose one another. Painful or not, not a muscle moved on your body. He needed a shoulder to cry on.

Thirty minutes passed like seconds, you peered down only to find the boy confortably napping against your bosom; at some point you just became the cold side of the pillow to him. That's alright. It brings you joy to be the mom friend anyways. So you decided to join the sleepland aswell, arms still secured around his shoulders and the back of his head.

It feels like the nap hasn't been long, though, because you can feel Itadori's grip loosening and therefore, you're awake.

"Sorry if I broke any bones, in advance."

"Wow, and you only warn me now."

He laughs at your comeback, hands still secured around your waist.

"I'm surprised you let me uh, cuddle you for comfort - and sleep. I don't understand it? You just make me sleepy." He rambled, keeping eye contact with you while his head still rests on your chest.

"That's a piece of cake when you have younger siblings who seek for you every night they get a nightmare."

"Does that mean I can come to you again if I have a nightmare?" There it is, his togepi-kirby cutesy face.

"Are you four?"

"That's mean!" Itadori blushed, squeezing you on his arms. "I like the contact. It puts me at ease."

"Mm, do you want to talk about it?"

He gulped. "No, not really."

Your peach haired friend remained silent, and so did you. It seems he doesn't intend in letting you go soon, or he just really forgot to mention it. It gives them time to think, your younger sisted used to do that sometimes, back in Kyoto.

"Y/N, wanna watch anything?"

"Sure, have you watched Parasyte before?"

"No, let's give it a try then!" Itadori glances at the remote, then back at you - making you confused over his hesitation to move. He notices you noticed it, chuckling nervously. "To be honest, I don't wanna let go."

"It's hurting my back."

"SORRY I'M SORRY!" He jumped away from you like a cat would jolt away from a cucumber, making you snicker.

"It's okay, I just wanted to change positions."

And to tease you, but he didn't need to know that part.

He glared at you with a small pout, typing the initials of Parasyte on the search bar. Outside his line of vision, you were grinning like a idiot, his sweeteness took a tow on you. All the people of Tokyo you met really held a way different spirit from your classmates in Kyoto, Itadori being the nicest of all. It's surprising him being Sukuna's vessel to begin with; being honest, you felt drawn by it.

"Y/N, it's startiiiiing." He cut your daydreaming short, slumping on your side and propping his head on your shoulder.

"This again?" You throw an arm around his shoulders, very much like the first time he cuddled himself on you.

"Don't blame me, you're the one who wanted to change positions. Guess I'll just make some alterations since I'm awake this time!" One of his arms went behind your back and circled your waist, hand resting at your hip.

"It's definely different, since the other time you drooled on me."

"Hhgh, okay okay! Let me enjoy this." For perhaps the actual first time, you're able to watch without exchanging words with one another.

And this time, it's you who's head loll to the side, nose buried on his soft rose perfumed hair. Itadori doesn't comment on it yet, his free hand moves under your legs to lift your whole body up efortlessly when he senses you have fallen asleep.

"I remember you said it's bad for my spine, I wouldn't mind it... yours however."

The boy makes a beeline to the guest room, he sighs when there is no choice but open the door with his foot. Inside, he places you carefully in the soft bed.

Before he could leave, a hand reaches up for his sleeve.

"Itadori," He turned, looking at you. "Make me company?"

He giggles softly - you think it sounds like a highschool girl. "You should start calling me by my first name!" Itadori rambles as he climbs on the bed, arms wrapping around your waist in a motion you're familiar with.

"Yuuji, I'm tired, let me sleep."

"But I wanna talk more..." He pouts. "Also, are we, um, dating?"

You wriggle around, bringing his head down to peck on his forehead, teasing. "Correction, I want to date you."

"Uh, oh." A blush coats his face so quickly, you'd say someone dumped a bucket of red paint on his face.

"Is that a no?"

"No!"

"So it is a no."

"Christ, will you stop teasing for a second, I'm trying to talk here." He makes an angry version of his togepi-kirby face, you can't help but grin.

"You amuse me, but okay. I'll do it for you."

"Thanks." He blinks, the blush slowly fading away. "You know, I lied, not about the contact, I like the contact nonetheless-"

His hand moves to play with yours, such as tapping his tips against yours, or meassuring the palms.

"-it's you who brings me comfort."

It's also your turn to blush, that line was seriously charming.

"Yeah."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, we're dating now." You respond, a little eagerly. "Can I kiss you?"

"Please."

This is the best person I could ask for, Itadori thinks, keeping his eyes open as yours shut during the kiss, whom I won't change for anything else in this world.

When you both separate, Itadori feels drowsy and sleepy. His face fits perfectly on your shoulder as always.

"Goodnight, my favorite person."

omg im sorry i didnt realize that mightve come off a bit rude 😭 i was just asking for my own sake, personally i do outlines but i find it takes me forever to finish them to actually start writing, but then again im also worried if i post chapter by chapter ill end up regretting things or wanting to go back and add something in. am really struggling over here smh </3

na it was bants you're groovy baby <3

fellow writer folk come and impart some knowledge and guidance pls!! this is a staff announcement can anyone that outlines please come to aisle 5

some rambled thoughts from an Absolute Winger:

for me, my outlines grow naturally as i write. i'll add something randomly in chapter three and BAM that's the main plot point for chapter seven that i'd never planned for, and i adjust as i go. and for all the winging it i do with the plot, i don't think i've ever written a chapter and regretted writing or not writing something in a precluding chapter. as in, when i stray from the original plot/outline as i write, those changes always tend to be forward thinking rather than retrospective, UNLESS it's something that would require some event in the past, and in that case i'll just say it happened off screen. i think that's something to consider - are there alternating POVs? time skips, even if they're just days/weeks? that helps when you're trying to fit something in the plot that wasn't there originally, gives you a bit of flexibility to play with. you can't do that forever, but if you catch it early enough you can start adding hints and shit and then it just looks like you planned it all along! we love deception in this house

i think if the plot is really intricate and you're trying to weave subtlety and hints and foreshadowing in through the chapters then i can understand the fear of missing something and the need for really detailed outlines, but if not, and really detailed outlines is not how you want to approach writing the fic, then screw it, go crazy! post the chapter babes!

that's what it comes down to i reckon. if that's how you write then that's how you write, and will your plot be thick and sexy and consistent with absolutely no holes??? hell yeah!!!! good for you, as you were!!!!!!! but if it's draining your life force and you don't wanna????? BOO. post the chapter darling. you can reread your last chapters every time you write if need be, and i think potentially, once you've finished a chapter and it's posted and away from your grabby little hands you might stop thinking and worrying about it? it might help you focus on the next chapters even. it might be super efficient. never know until you try, and worst case scenario, you can edit posted chapters! no one will call the police on you and if they do, i will take a dump on their pillow!
