#((i literally want to redo everything for both of them so i

[nagititiis]

*stares out into the distance* ........i miss haru. i miss him a lot.

[multimousefanatic]

For a show that hinges upon its audiences’ adoration for identity porn, there is far too much unexplored potential for secret identity shenanigans for my liking. I want to see more Multimouse and Chat Noir. But I also want to see Multimouse and Adrien. Multimouse and Aspik. Multimouse and Cat Walker. Marinette and Aspik. Marinette and Cat Walker.

I know the fandom loves to hate on Aspik but I think it would be so fun to see him and Multimouse interact. JUST IMAGINE IT okay? BOTH of them are gonna be awkward AF and internally spiraling bc they have to pretend to not know the others identity AND act like they’re not absolutely head over heels for them. They literally both know the others identity but have to pretend they don’t in order to hide their OTHER secret identity like HDBDBDJDNDJCHHC

And like, imagine Cat Walker working with Multimouse? And like he can tell that Marinette kind of has a thing for Cat Walker and he doesn’t quite know how to feel about that until Plagg points out that it’s the third version of him she’s fallen for and he suddenly feels very okay with it

Or Multimouse sees Adrien and she reverts back to nervous-clumsy-stumbles over her words Marinette because she’s overthinking the whole secret identity thing but Adrien KNOWS she’s Marinette so he totally clocks that behavior and thinks it’s the cutest thing ever but also he acts completely oblivious and does everything he can to help her calm down and act natural

And then Marinette and Aspik? Similar vibe except maybe Adrien’s trying a little too hard to look cool in front of Marinette which gets her to laugh because she KNOWS he’s trying to impress her and it helps her to calm down and stop overthinking the fact that she has to pretend not to know who he is, and he loves that she’s laughing, but that’s not really what he’s going for so he ends up using second chance to redo the moment over and over & he can’t figure out what he’s doing wrong or what Marinette thinks is so funny

[melverie]

So I've seen some discussion about the way Mammon talks in 24-11, and how some think Asmo forced Mammon to speak this way while others think it might be because of a issue with the translation. And since I speak some Japanese, I figured I'd break down what's actually going on here

If you don't want to read through the Japanese grammar explanation, just skip to the last section, but for everyone else I'll try to break it all down. Just keep in mind that I'll simplify some things to (hopefully) make it easier to understand for those that don't speak Japanese

Right away, here's the dialogue above in the Japanese version + written in Romaji for those that can't read Japanese:

understanding sentence-ending particles

(not really relevant to Mammon's dialogue itself, but I think it'll help make the function of 「です」 ('desu') and 「ます」 ('masu') in the next section a little clearer)

Sentence-ending particles serve to indicate the overall tone a sentence is meant to have. There are a few of them and each one gives the meaning of the sentence a different nuance

The two easiest examples to understand this concept are probably the following:

the 「か」 ('ka') particle basically just a spoken question mark; turns any sentence into a proper question

the 「ね」 ('ne') particle literally functions the same way as 'isn't it'

ちょっと寒い。 ('chotto samui') -> It's a little cold.

ちょっと寒いか。 ('chotto samui ka') -> Is it a little cold?

ちょっと寒いね。 ('chotto samui ne') -> Bit cold, innit? It's a little cold, isn't it?

the auxilary verbs 「です」 ('desu') and 「ます」 ('masu')

Similarly to the sentence-ending particles, these two change the tone of the sentence and are placed at the end. Both make the sentence polite, and depending on what the sentence ends with, you use one or the other. If it ends in a verb, you add 「ます」 ('masu') at the very end, and if it ends in anything else you use 「です」 ('desu')—you cannot use both back to back

Which finally brings us back to Mammon's dialogue

As you can see, he goes a little overboard. Since 「やり直す」 ('yari naosu'; 'to redo') is a verb, the first use of 「ます」 ('masu') is correct, but everything after that is just overkill and wrong but it sounds very cute (The way Mammon speaks here actually reminds me of how half of my classmates used to speak the first few weeks of uni lol)

But yeah, it's definitely not Asmo forcing Mammon to speak differntly since all of the brothers are talking more politely. And given that they're all under Asmo's charm and serving him, it makes sense that they'd adopt a similar manner of speaking as Barbatos. It's just that Mammon is the King of Casual Speech™, dancing gracefully between 'still acceptable' and 'straight up rude' more or less gracefully at least, so obviously he'd struggle with switching to a more butler-like speech style

It's the same with Beel actually. He's usually the type to just cut straight to the point, which is why he also slightly messed up when speaking politely. To me the original Japanese version reads more like a cute little joke that's in line with both their character, that unfortunately got lost in translation since English just doesn't have an equivalent

Bolas fans have such a superiority complex, they have done nothing wrong, they're the best, they did the most for their team...

They are so toxic and spreading such disgusting misinfo about soulfire just to up bolas that it makes me sick

You are free to hype up your team, to make content for it, to appreciate new ccs discovering them

But you can't do it to by criticizing soulfire( it literally nullifies the good stuff), you can't say that nobody did content for soulfire, you simply never saw it because you never looked for it because you were stuck in you bolas bubble full of people just has toxic has you conforting you in your behavior, we're not mad at ccs discovering bolas we're mad at the fans to immediately redo the old competition and pick up the atrocious behavior and erasing everything that blue went through

Bolas was literally the worst team in term of behavior, they were the only ones to grieve bases and burn people stuff for the sake of it, to make it impossible for the others to play ( exemple: the bounty stuff ), they also took advantage of the rules but when it's soulfire the world is falling on your heads no? Omg bad killed the red on the first day, well that costed him his whole purgatory experience because of fans and he constantly had to hold back on what he wanted to do and he still got hate. The meta gaming allegations are a goddam joke i don't even need to talk about it, the biggest argument of red fans is that they were only half the team....

Have we watched the same event? Blue was max 3 persons on a good day and when someone tried to connect they would get killed by red before they could even understand the event ( people love to say blue lived in reds base but red did the same for the old blue base don't be hypocrite), while red had EVERYDAY like 5 people on at the same time and at the end of the day which was the best advantage ever

Red weren't victims, and I'm tired of people saying that it was the case. Open your eyes and see. Both teams were awful, and that was the objective of this event, I only wrote about bad red things because this is addressed to red fans.

[beewolfwrites]

you’re one of my favorite authors so i’m so glad you’re active again! <33 I’ve started rereading awiaf just to remind myself why it’s my favorite fic ever so thank you for feeding into my brain rot since you started awiaf until now.

on the other side of this ask

I have worms for brains and I desperately need chishiya trying to drop hints that he likes the reader but just… is so terrible at it and gets frustrated because if it. He probably doesn’t even know the first thing about flirting, let’s all be honest.

Hey Anon! This probably strayed a little from your request, but if you'd rather have a fluffier version, I'm happy to redo it :)

The idea of Kuina being a horrified wingwoman to Chishiya's terrible flirting attempts was just too funny not to write about.

(Chishiya x gn reader)

(Kuina = losing hope in all humanity)

________________________________________________

It was killing her to watch. 

She’d given him more expert advice than she’d ever given anyone - heaven only knew that boy needed it - but he was still so stiff, so standoffish, and so goddamn terrible. And now, hiding behind a pillar in the hotel lobby, Kuina felt like crawling into a corner and burying her head in the sand. 

‘Thanks… That’s really nice of you Chishiya.’  

The words had come out in the same awkward tone that one might use when humouring children, or fending off an over-familiar stranger on the bus. And what’s worse, Chishiya hadn’t even realised. 

‘You just pull the pin and it should work,’ he explained, showing off the “pin”, which was actually a keyring attached to a piece of string. 

‘Great,’ (Y/N) said, eyebrows drawing in bizarre confusion. ‘I guess it’s useful to have… maybe.’ 

Kuina bit her hand, fighting the urge to drag him away at his heels. Luckily, she didn’t have to, because without even saying goodbye, or ending the conversation whatsoever, he was now walking away, smiling with satisfaction and leaving (Y/N) standing in the hotel lobby looking utterly bewildered by the events that just occurred. As Chishiya passed the pillar, she grabbed his white hood.

He shook her off immediately. ‘Was that really necessary?’ 

‘What the hell was that?’ Kuina hissed. ‘What about everything we practiced?’ 

He shrugged lazily. ‘I thought it went well.’ 

You can’t be serious?

‘That right there? That was a car crash. You can’t just walk up to someone and give them a bomb as a present. They think you’re insane now.’ 

‘I doubt that. I left a note in their room beforehand.’ 

Kuina felt the colour drain from her face. ‘You did what now?’ 

Chishiya gave a knowing smile. ‘While the games were on, I left a note on the bed explaining that I had a gift. It was hardly a surprise.’ 

Oh my god… This is a disaster. 

She placed both hands on his shoulders, locking him in a firm grip that he couldn’t escape from no matter how much he tried to squirm away. 

‘Chishiya, listen to me now. Normal people don’t do things like this. You don’t know (Y/N) well enough to just walk into their room. You’re gonna end up with some really weird rumours going around, and I don’t want to be part of that.’ 

He finally broke away with a scowl. ‘You’re overreacting. If you’re not going to help, you can find somebody else to annoy.’ 

‘I’m literally trying my hardest to help you, but you’re impossible. This is impossible.’ 

He made a small noise of irritation and stared aimlessly at the white lobby wall. ‘Do you have any other suggestions then?’ 

‘What about telling the truth?’ 

‘No.’ 

‘It’s not that bad. Tell them how you really feel. Admit that you weren’t sure how to show it, and you screwed up —‘

‘I didn’t.’ 

‘Yeah, you did. You haven’t got a clue how to flirt, and that was a horror show to watch.’ 

He averted his gaze, looking anywhere but at Kuina. ‘Any other bright ideas?’ 

She rubbed her temple. ‘I’ll see what I can think of,’ she said. ‘Just let me work on it, okay?’ 

As she parted ways with Chishiya in the lobby, Kuina didn’t have much hope. The situation was eating away at her, because believe it or not, she wanted Chishiya to be happy, even if he was an asshole sometimes. Well, most of the time. However, even after borrowing all of her expert advice and tips, he still couldn’t quite make flirting seem natural. 

And worse, he actually did like (Y/N), even if he had never really shared the depths of his feelings. But Kuina wasn’t blind. She’d seen the way his eyes trailed after them, no matter where they were in the room. He would only ask how Kuina’s games had been whenever (Y/N) was placed in the same group. Anybody else wouldn’t have noticed. Except Kuina wasn’t just anybody. 

I think I might actually feel bad for him. 

Stepping into the elevator, she pressed the button for the sixth floor. She was so lost in her thoughts that when the doors opened, it took her a good few seconds to realise that she was standing face to face with the object of those thoughts - the object of Chishiya’s affection.

‘Oh! Hey Kuina, this is actually kind of cool. I was just looking for you.’ 

Oh no.

Kuina could already see where this was going. ‘Really? We can go into my room if you want to talk,’ she suggested. ‘It’s better than standing out here.’ 

They must have been knocking on Kuina’s door, and since the timing was right, that could only mean one thing. There would be a very long conversation ahead. The two shut themselves away in the privacy of Kuina’s room, sitting on two small chairs in front of the window. 

‘Sorry for the mess.’ Kuina began scooping up the array of lipsticks rolling around on the desk behind her. ‘I think I already know why you’re here.’ 

There’s no point beating around the bush.

(Y/N) tried to hide a grimace behind their hand. ‘It’s… well. Have you noticed Chishiya-san acting strange recently?’ 

‘Strange?’ 

‘It’s just that - this is so weird. He stares at me so much, and earlier when I came back from my game, I found a note from him on my pillow. I didn’t even know he’d been in my room.’ 

Seriously, Chishiya? The pillow?!

Kuina feigned surprise. ‘What did the note say?’ 

‘He wanted to meet with me in the lobby, so I did. Just now, actually, and…’ (Y/N) pulled out a soda can with red and blue wires stretching from the lip to the base, and a tiny pull ring on top. ‘He gave me a homemade grenade.’ 

‘I’m so sorry.’ It was the only thing Kuina could bring herself to say. ‘I really am. I can have a word with him if you want?’

‘That’s not all,’ they added. ‘The other day when I woke up I found something in front of my door too. I don’t have it here, but it was a… a shank, I think?’ 

Kuina fought the urge to put her head in her hands and cry. Chishiya hadn’t told her about this, probably knowing she would disapprove. And disapprove, she did. 

‘I don’t have it with me, but it’s a piece of shaved metal tied to a screwdriver. There wasn’t a note but I think it was him. I didn’t really know what to say to him before. I just, I’m a little confused. I always thought he was kind of cute, but all of this is weirding me out…’ 

Hold on. 

Kuina’s eyes widened. She replayed that last sentence in her head. 

Hold on just one second. 

‘I’m only asking because I care,’ they said, ‘but is he okay, you know, mentally?’ 

‘Look,’ Kuina interrupted. ‘This is going to sound crazy, but hear me out.’

Maybe honesty really is the best policy. 

She took a deep breath. ‘Chishiya actually likes you. As in, he likes likes you. He’s just fucking awful at flirting.’ 

(Y/N)’s whole body froze, eyes flashing with hope. ‘You mean he likes me in that way? He has feelings for me?’ 

Kuina nodded and leaned back in her chair. It was like a huge weight had suddenly been lifted from her chest.

‘I wasn’t going to say anything since it’s not really my place, but the two of you are getting nowhere like this. I know how he looks, but Chishiya’s not made of stone. I think he just wasn’t sure how to tell you and decided to make you weapons for protection. He’s really logical like that. I guess he figured regular gifts didn’t have any value in this place.’ 

Have I ruined it?

She had tried to explain the best she could, to put Chishiya in a good light and dissolve any rumours of him being a homemade weapon-obsessed stalker. But by doing this, did she also sabotage his chances? 

(Y/N) smiled gently. ‘I guess when you think about it that way, it’s actually kind of sweet.’ 

Kuina was perplexed, to say the least. There was no way in heaven or hell that Chishiya was sweet. Not a chance. The man was cold, stoic, calculating, basically anything but boyfriend material. But she wasn’t going to say this to the one person who might actually be able to change him.  

(Y/N) stood up and grinned at Kuina. ‘Thank you! I think, I might actually go and talk to him now. His room is just down the hall, isn’t it?’ 

“It’s room nine,’ Kuina got to her feet too. ‘I’ll come with you, but I’ll be hiding around the corner. If it’s okay with you, I want to see how this works out.’ 

‘That’s okay,’ they said. ‘I’d like you to come. It’ll be good having you there, for support.’ 

The pair left Kuina’s room and headed down the hallway towards room nine. Judging from the vague shuffling noises they could hear through the door, Chishiya was inside. Kuina gave a wink of encouragement and hid just behind the corner, the perfect place to listen in and spy from afar. (Y/N) knocked on the door, holding the soda can between both hands.

The shuffling noises paused, then the door opened, revealing Chishiya. When he saw who was on the other side, his lips parted in mild surprise. 

‘Hey Chishiya.’ (Y/N) shuffled awkwardly. ‘I just wanted to stop by to say I’m sorry about before, if I seemed off. I was still kind of thinking about my game earlier.’ They held up the soda can. ‘Really, thank you for this. It’ll be really handy in a pinch.’

To anybody else, Chishiya’s expression would seem static, bored even. But Kuina saw the vague tug of a smile on his lips; she knew better. 

‘If you use it in your next game, I can make you another one,’ he replied. ‘Or if you need a knife that you can hide in your jacket. Tasers too.’

‘Tasers?’

He smirked. ‘All you need is an electronic device. It’s a simple rewiring trick.’ 

The two spoke in hushed tones, Chishiya faintly smirking and (Y/N) taking in every word he spoke. Watching from behind the corner, Kuina was delighted to finally see her efforts come to fruition, and she had to admit, these two oddballs kind of suited each other. Who would’ve known? 

(Y/N) peered over Chishiya’s shoulder, their face lighting up. ‘Wait, is that your workbench? Can I see it?’ 

‘Sure.’ He opened his door wider and (Y/N) slipped inside. 

This is the cutest thing I’ve seen in ages, Kuina thought. Maybe I should become a professional matchmaker. 

And then she froze. 

She froze because Chishiya didn’t close the door behind him. Instead, his eyes jumped over to where she was standing, looking at her squarely. 

Busted!

She gave him an awkward wave of her fingers. However, instead of scowling at her for meddling too much in his affairs, he gave her the briefest of nods - a small thank you for the world’s greatest wingwoman. 

[leclerced]

Lando and dirty talk. That’s it. He likes to talk and he doesn’t shut up when going at his girl. And it’s not a few words or a sentence and then he’s shutting up oh no. He describes everything. How good she feels, how her pussy is getting red from him slapping her directly on the clit and from his balls, how her thighs are all wet cause she’s so desperate she’s gushing slick all over both of them. When she’s giving him a blow job or especially when he’s fucking her it’s on a whole new level. He’d degrade the shit out of her. Call her his little slut and tell her a whole story about how good she feels. Ugh I’m horny now

so annoyed i rambled ab his for at least 30 mins and tumblr shat the bed . redoing it but its not the same as my original tbh

imagine them when they first start dating and they’re making out and grinding for the first time, she pulls away to catch her breath and lando starts kissing her neck while guiding her hips against his, and he starts telling her how good she feels against him. then starts telling her about how bad he wants to taste her, that since they met all he’s thought about is how good she’ll taste and how pretty she’d sound cumming on his tongue. she’d be shocked into silence, wondering where her sweet, shy lando went and where this confident, crude man sex god came from.

she’d be so embarrassed by how turned on she is by it, soaking through her panties and pajama shorts and when he goes to rub her through them he’d start teasing her about how soaked she is when he hasn’t even done anything yet. tell her how sexy it is that she wants him so badly, tease her with his words and his fingers at the same time. when he finally starts fingering her he’d tell her to be quiet bc she’s so loud. once she chokes back the moans he’d laugh gleefully, and point out the slick sound being made by his fingers fucking her, “you hear that baby? was moaning so loud before you couldn’t, but you hear how soaked you are for me? your pretty little cunt is dripping for me.” and as if to make a point, he’d pull his fingers from her and lift his hand up, showing that even though he only had two fingers in her, his whole hand is soaked in her slick from her grinding against his hand.

or like him stripping her down so she’s completely naked and he’s still dressed, making her ride his thigh and he’d taunt her over soaking through his jeans, point out the wet spot getting larger with each roll of her hips. call her his desperate slut for begging him to fuck her while she rides her thigh, bit he wouldn’t touch her or fuck her until she’s worked for it, earned it by getting herself off on his thigh.

also, i think he’d love getting her all worked up (maybe even in public) by telling her all the things he’s gonna do to her. tell her how badly he wants to eat her out, that if she just let him, he would get down on his knees and eat her out right then and there. he’d go into detail about how he’d circle her clit with his tongue before nipping and sucking at it, how he’d hold her down while he fucks her with her tongue. get her all worked up then he dips his hand between her thighs and realizes she’s gotten her inner thighs all wet, literally dripping for him. he’d tease her for that too, rubbing his finger along the slick skin of her inner thigh as he says, “look how wet you are, dripping just for me, yeah?” and she doesn’t realize he wants a reply until he pinches her clit and she instantly answers, that it’s all for him and only him. it’s exactly what he wants to hear and he’d reward her for being good and knowing the answer.

when she’s sucking him off, he’s nonstop talking about how good it feels, telling her he loves when she sucks on his tip and flicks her tongue over it, when she jerks him off and sucks on his balls. he’d praise her for being so good at it and then degrade her for enjoying it so much, call her his needy whore who can’t go a day without having her mouth or cunt stuffed full.

─── AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU

⟡﹐ꊞ niko's relationships with WAYV !

⟡﹐ꊞ in the five years since their debut, niko has basically become the honorary member of wayv. he is usually seen spending most of not all of his time with the members, not as much as he does with his 127 members, of course, but they've basically become niko's unofficial second nct unit. he had previously already known three of the members, having made his debut with two of them in 2016, and the relationships he developed later on with the other members seemed to, in his own words anyway, "come up out of nowhere". wayv have basically become his comfort group, one of his many safe places, and yeah, he enjoys annoying all of them to death, but they know deep down that he loves them.

KUN & NIKO ( NIKUN ) !

much like with johnny, niko reverts to his annoying little brother form when around kun. the older is so incredibly tired of him, tired of his constant teasing and idiotic questions. if there is anything niko is good at, it's being a pain in kun's ass, he's as ruthless as the wayv members when it comes to making fun of him for his age (they are only 5 months apart in age). the moment niko steps into the room, kun lets out a distressed sigh and prays to god that their time together will be short. niko is like the annoying younger brother kun never asked for, one whose always poking him and bothering him when he doesn't need it.

for niko, kun has really become a voice of reason. if niko needs advice, he knows he can go to kun, because he will always be openminded and empathetic. despite how annoying he is (kun's words not niko's), the older always remembers to remind niko that he is an outlet for the younger if he ever feels like everything is too much. kun is literally apart of the rare collection of nct members who have seen niko cry, yeah it's that serious between these two. it is never something he would admit normally, because he spends most of his time poking fun at him, but niko loves kun a lot, he's very glad to have him in his life.

kun is very supportive of niko, always taking care of him even if the younger profusely refuses. he has a natural instinct to look out for the younger, pretty much able to tell if something is wrong with him from even a single look. niko is so stubborn, but he can never truly refuse getting taken care of by kun.

TEN & NIKO ( TENKO ) !

guys don't listen to them, they like to say they absolutely "hate each other" but everyone knows that they are both such horrible liars. they both became friends because it seemed like they had no other choice, they're both thai, 96 liners, amazing at everything that has to do with dance. despite what everyone else says, it did take them a while to get used to each other, mainly because niko was so unbearably awkward and ten just really wanted to be friends with him so bad but couldn't get him alone, it took them a while to get as comfortable with each other as they are now, conversations between them usually mediated by taeyong.

upon the beginning of their debut preparations, the two would truly start to bond. they would begin spending much more time together, now able to have conversations without another person having to start it first. they'd become much more comfortable with each other, able to give criticism and trusting each other to not take any of to heart. eventually, staying late at practice became a normal thing for them, whether they were redoing the dance over and over again, gossiping, or stating random facts about themselves to each other.

these late night practices, after some time, became a sort of staple of comfort for the two. ten learned many, many things about niko, things about his home life, his personal feelings, his true dreams, careers he wishes he could've pursued, he seemed to know more about the younger than his best friend ever (doyoung) even did. some things said have stayed only between them, and there's a certain solace in that to them. if you were to quiz ten on everything niko, he'd win with absolute ease, he has his masters degree in nikology.

they are very much how you expect them to be, constantly bickering over other bullshit no one cares about and gossiping during behind the scenes videos. ten can push niko's buttons so well that the younger almost always actively runs away when he shows up because the older is going to follow him around and talk his ear off until he gets so annoyed that he shoves him out of the room. they really only have two dynamics, they're either wrapped up in each other's arms or chewing each other out at every chance they can. truly a duo for the ages.

NIKO & WINWIN ( WINKO ) !

guys, tell sicheng to text niko back, he misses him. its no surprise to anyone that niko, just like everyone else in this mess of a group, is mortifyingly in love with winwin. what kind of hold does this guy have on nikolas and why is it so strong? nctzens shall never know the true answer to that, but it seems that sicheng is much more lenient with niko than he is with the other members that constantly profess their undying love for him. he awkwardly accepts all of niko's love confessions, hugs, and cheek kisses with nothing but short chuckles.

niko's infatuation for sicheng began way back during fire truck era, though both of them were as quiet as the other, and though they didn't talk to each other in many promotional videos, their friendship slowly formed behind the scenes. most of their interactions were through text and whispered words after comeback stages, all of their conversations in their early debut years, if they even did have one, would either be cut off by another member or would stop abruptly because the two of them had no idea what to talk about, sort of just standing there awkwardly with each other.

it wasn't until after limitless promotions died down that the two could finally have a full conversation. late in the night, riddled with his usual insomnia, niko would call an also awake sicheng and ask if they could go out to eat, a friend date of sorts, he even offered to pay for food. niko has to admit, it was really the only way he could get sicheng alone, the only way he could ever have a one on one conversation with him. so, at two in the morning, niko and sicheng walked the streets of seoul searching for unique street foods and talking about whatever came to their minds.

they talked through their somewhat fluent korean, sicheng trying his best to teach niko mandarin words that the older definitely pronounced wrong no matter how hard he tried. and if you're wondering, yes, niko did pay for all the food they got that night. though niko was met with many pouted shouts from his members for 'favoring winwin' (as if they all don't do that), the two did grow closer from this little friend date they went on. maybe there were more of these friend dates in the future, but both niko and sicheng are keeping that a hidden fact from their fellow members.

niko, though usually reserved and easygoing, becomes the giddiest person ever around sicheng. whenever he sees him around, he acts like a teenage girl with a crush, throwing so much affection at him that by the time sicheng can escape his hugs, his face is burned red and he's struggling to speak coherently. though niko often jokes with sicheng, he genuinely loves him a lot, sicheng is one of his favorite members, but shh! don't tell any of his other members he said that.

NIKO & XIAOJUN ( NIXIAO ) !

dejun was honestly intimidated by niko when he first met him. they immediately met awkwardly, though they knew of each other's existences, they never got anywhere past a few "hello's" and smiles exchanged in the hallways. dejun was really doing everything to avoid niko, even with how the older was polite and already close to his other groupmates, he wasn't ready to actually talk to him one on one, niko honestly sort of terrified him upon their first real interaction after wayv's official debut, he stuttered through most of his words as he averted eye contact with the older, who was congratulating and complimenting the members to sheer heights.

dejun's niko avoidant attitude didn't go unnoticed by his fellow wayv members, especially ten, who accused him of having a small crush on the older dancer (and maybe he did in just the slightest but it was more of a crush out of admiration!), an accusation that the vocalist was quick to deny with reddened cheeks and abruptly yelled responses. he really did avoid niko as much as he could for the rest of 2019, not ready to strike a conversation with the older, he felt like the moment he tried to talk he would mess up, trip, fall on his face and then be so embarrassed he could never face him ever again.

but dejun couldn't avoid niko for long, because he would come face to face with the older in his own dorm midway through resonance promotions. niko wasn't there on his own accord, he had been dragged there by ten after the older caught him almost working himself to death in the practice room. so dejun was pretty much forced to talk to niko, as the older was quite literally sitting in the kitchen of his dorm, sort of just letting the room consume him whole. it was common knowledge that niko wasn't really doing his best this era, and dejun could clearly see it with the way he was handling himself.

so, the younger decided to do his best at the whole cheering him up bit. the two of them finally had a full fledged conversation (or dejun sort of just rambled and niko listened intently, afraid of breaking down into tears if he even uttered a word). they shared jokes, secrets, and really just talked. though niko was still in the middle of a horrible mental spiral, the interaction really became a staple of comfort to him, and dejun reminded him that if he ever needed someone to talk to, he was available, even if he did almost avoid him for half a year because he had a sort of crush on him and was scared he'd make some mistake while talking to the other.

they became much closer after the interaction, the conversation basically the building blocks to their friendship, a friendship that, even today, is still highly regarded as one of the most underrated nct friendships ever. dejun really does admire niko a lot, he would say he is somewhat of a niko fanboy (words he will never ever say out loud), often mentioning him in stories during solo lives and describing him as "one of jupiter's orbiting moons, probably callisto". these days, dejun is still suspected to have even the smallest of a crush on niko remaining, claims he still very much denies through red ears and stuttering words.

NIKO & HENDERY ( SUHEN ) !

though they met with the same awkwardness niko met dejun with, they became closer much more quickly than niko did with the previous 99 liner. for staters, hendery really wanted to get to know niko, the older simply peaked his interest, and he made an effort to talk to him when he appeared to congratulate wayv on their eventual debut. he wouldn't get to see niko as 2019 ended, much to his own dismay, but they did have a few golden interactions during that year, interactions that hendery would've proudly framed on his wall with how much he was obsessing over them at the time.

hendery would eventually persuade ten into giving him niko's number, but he hesitated before ever sending him that first text. it's not that he was nervous or anything, he just didn't know what to say! and niko wasn't really.. online in 2020, when hendery was pacing around his room, trying to figure out what to text him. it was at this time that niko wasn't really talking to anyone, retreating back into himself and really only ever sending them fake smiles to his members to mediate their worries. it was midway through resonance promotions that hendery could finally text him, during the stage for misfit, that niko had made a slight error, an error that he quickly took to heart, if the curses he muttered under his breath were any indication. noticing how down he felt, and finally wanting to take a step, hendery texted niko a 'you did well' later that night, a text that niko appreciates even to this day, even a small gesture like that was enough to make his shitty day better, especially because he felt as if he ruined the whole stage with his mistake.

hendery would then approach him the next day during their stage for misfit, awkwardly trying his best to make small talk with the reserved older, who was clearly upset. though niko just stared at hendery as he went on a small rant about how niko shouldn't be so hard on himself because he's such a good dancer and everyone thinks so, he also threw in a few very specific compliments that niko couldn't help but laugh, honestly enamored by them. hendery, glad he could cheer up niko, pretty much stayed by his side for the rest of the stage, arms wrapped around him and head placed on his shoulder. niko didn't do anything to shoo him away, finding his display cute.

even with how cute they are, hendery is never going to let niko rest, poking fun at him for his age and annoying him by yelling in his ear every few minutes to make him stop zoning out, or literally poking him, according to hendery, niko has super soft cheeks, a claim that niko always just rolls his eyes at. hendery will never waste an opportunity to show up at niko's place, often using the excuse of wanting to see susi to justify his almost weekly trips over to his the older's house. he genuinely does want to see niko, but he doesn't say that with his own mouth because he would never hear the end of it from everyone else if he did. sometimes though, in especially tough moments, hendery will mutter the words to niko, a small smile etched on his face. niko really does appreciate hendery, yeah the younger gets on his nerves on most occasions, but it's all in good heart.

NIKO & YANGYANG ( NIYANG ) !

they were introduced in the same awkward fashion niko met the two previous members with, but yangyang was dead set on getting close to him, even more than hendery was, but he was much more reserved about it. yangyang was also very intimidated by niko, a fact that ten quite literally laughed at when he disclosed it to him. despite the fact that he told yangyang there was nothing to worry about, and that niko was really just an awkward guy who seemed intimidating, yangyang's worries weren't immediately mediated, he could really only give him small smiles when they would find each other in the halls of sm, yangyang was sort of afraid of encountering niko, not because he thought the older would punch him in the face or something, but because he was scared of coming off as awkward and not impressive.

when they were both put in misfit, yangyang really couldn't avoid niko anymore, though he tried his best to, ten quite literally dragged him by his arm to the other 96 liner, forcing him to face his fears and have a conversation with him face first, a decision that yangyang glared at him for at the time, but he thanks him for now. yangyang pretty much almost died trying to have his first conversation with niko, he stuttered at least three times and his face was completely red by the time they concluded their talk, but it was the right move, because from that moment onward, yangyang would slowly begin striking up much more conversation with niko.

yangyang quickly found a sort of comfort in niko, he's the kind of person he can easily confide in, someone yangyang can let go around. niko is sort of an.. enabler in a way, encouraging yangyang to make kun's life as much as a living hell as possible. yangyang is, with all things considered, a huge niko fan, he probably runs a secret fanpage we don't know about. it's often that yangyang accompanies hendery on his trips to niko's place, but he uses the excuse of wanting cookies to hide the fact that he just really likes seeing the older.

niko likes to describe yangyang as "a crossbreed of annoying and absolutely adorable", because while he truly loves the younger, he continues to get irritated by his countless comments. while they started awkwardly, you would've never known that with how they are now, yangyang is basically niko's son in addition to like half of nct dream (again excluding mark). he constantly gets on niko's nerves, but the older also finds him too cute to ever actually punch in the face. yangyang is very much competing with dejun for the role of president of the niko fan club, he likes to believe he's winning this competition. he's a much bigger fan of niko's strawberry scones, though.

Emma and Daniel did not belong together.

After extensively rewatching Every Witch Way during Spring Break (yep, that's how I spent Spring Break), I went through tumblr and saw people wondering if this fandom still exists. Well, even if there's only like fifteen people on it, let's discuss Emma and one of her main love interests: Daniel.

I would like to disclose that I am a Jemma fan, after Jax showed up in S2, Daniel went out the window for little thirteen-year-old me. This isn't a Daniel VS Jax post, this is just about Emma and Daniel's relationship. This post will mainly reflect on why I think that, in the long run, they did not belong together. They're definitely a first loves ship, but not an endgame ship.

In S1 both were still young and finding their footing, but mainly Emma. Daniel had already dated Maddie for a while and then went through the whole first season flirting and liking Emma after his break up with Maddie. Daniel was also on top of his game, being the Sharks Swim Captain, and other than Maddie being his girlfriend, his life was happy and fine. Emma coming in merely improved it, she was nicer, thoughtful, and down to earth. But Emma's story was just beginning, she was discovering being a witch, having to deal with her powers, a witch bully Maddie at school, and daily shenanigans that entailed the magical world. Daniel is the last person to discover Emma is a witch and he also has the worst reaction to it. Not that surprising considering how regular his life has been, but that kind of tells us where this was headed.

In S2 Emma and Daniel have been together for months now, all through the summer. The thing is, Daniel's been happier than ever and he thinks Emma's powers never came back, something that she's been hiding from him this entire time. Lying to your SO is never a good thing, especially about something this big, something that is literally part of you. There are reasons for both of them however:

Emma knew how happy Daniel was that she was 'regular' and didn't want to ruin what they had by bringing in all her witch stuff, which tended to bring all sorts of chaos and antics.

Daniel didn't want Emma to have powers out of fear that other evil witches would come after her because she was the Chosen One.

While these are reasonable explanations for both of them, they're not fixing any of their real issues. Emma should not be lying to her boyfriend, eventually, it did catch up to her and she tried using magic to make him forget. Also not a good thing, even if she wanted a 'redo' at telling him. When he does find out, it causes their downfall. The thing is, Emma lied because Daniel just can't handle her being a witch. He's said that her powers being back would "ruin everything" and has shown a fear of witches when magic was brought up in S2E05. Emma keeps telling him that powers or no powers, she's still a witch. Still, she chose to hide a part of herself to try to have a normal relationship with her boyfriend. But hiding a part of yourself is never the answer and it eats away at you.

S2 also explores the fact that witches can't date humans, it's not allowed. The Council tries to have Emma break up with him otherwise they must take the witches magic away, but Emma being the Chosen One is a special case. Her magic removal is not on the table and she wants to keep her powers regardless. (I mean I agree with Emma, let the girl date whoever she wants) But it is another thing that drives them further apart, unfortunately, the Council ended up being right, most humans just can't handle the magical world. (Andi can handle it, so can Katie and Sophie, but Daniel can't.)

When it comes to the Fool Moon, it has a different effect on all sorts of witches. Jax's greed and envy magnify, Desdemona turns vindictive and wants Emma's powers, and Emma's impulse control is gone. This leads to Emma casting spells without really thinking about the consequences and out in the open. The Fool Moon is just a witch or wizard's desires coming to the surface. In retrospect, Maddie was just as affected, she started improving (slightly, but still progress) and didn't run from her feelings toward Diego. She was more open and entered a relationship with him.

We also see Emma's clones in this season. Her first clone, E, encompasses her dark side with none of the good. She calls Daniel dull, she's bored with him and his ideas for dates, and she finds Jax fun and wants to do magic whenever she wants. She's happy when Daniel breaks up with Emma because 1. She found him boring and 2. They get to keep their powers now and the Council can stop hounding them. This may be Emma's darkest side but it's still Emma. Some part of her does believe that Daniel is dull and finds Jax fun. Granted, her third clone, the Nerdy Emma is all about Daniel. This is why the clone spell is so very illegal, a witch is essentially pulling out a part of themselves and without the rest to balance it, they become a paragon of just one emotion or drive or aspect of their original personality. They're not whole. The Real Emma shares all these traits inside herself, she does like Daniel, she does find him dull sometimes, she does like math, she does find it boring at times, and she does like Jax but she does think he goes overboard sometimes.

See, this is where we come into an important piece of dialogue in S2 E16 between Maddie and Daniel talking about their romantic troubles.

Maddie: But if you two were still together, you'd want her to stop using her powers? Daniel: Maybe. Maddie: Then you don't accept Emma for who she is. And as a fellow witch, I'm offended for her!

This is an interesting moment in which someone like Maddie, someone who doesn't like Emma but is a witch just like her, sees that while Emma lied to Daniel, she did it because Daniel doesn't accept her as who she is.

Daniel has openly expressed anger and disinterest at the magic world. And hey, I understand, after all the spells Jax has cast on him to make him look bad in front of Emma's dad, or just the usual magic hijinks from Emma or Maddie, magic is not Daniel's friend. He doesn't find it fun or cool like Andi, he's not desensitized to it like Katie and Sophie. He's suffered from it and doesn't want anything to do with it and hey I can respect that. But this isn't good when you're in a relationship with a witch, the most powerful one in fact. So he's tiptoeing a line constantly between wanting to be with his girlfriend but disliking and fearing something that's part of her (and part of his friends' lives: Maddie and Diego).

Let's get to S3 when he was marked by Mia with her Kanay spider. Spider!Daniel broke up with Emma, started dating Mia, was a general jerk at school, even tied up his little siblings. It turns out that Mia's Spider doesn't cause him to act strange or evil, it just unleashes someone's 'inner wild'. It makes them do what they most want to do. So, Daniel did want to break up with Emma. He called Emma and Maddie trouble-brewing witches and had no problem telling a complete stranger all about their powers.

Now we could get into how Daniel's life was turned upside down more than plenty of times because of magic, but nothing beats S4 when Emma literally rewrites time when Daniel disappears. He and his family end up running an animal sanctuary and dating Mia. Then his life gets put back and it's for the worse because now he has no animals, no girlfriend, and he's back in a school hated by the principal. Overall, Daniel was not having a good time in S4. One of the many reasons why Emma puts him back where he was happy. (I would also like to remind everyone that Mia and her previously deceased parents were alive in the new accidental timeline of S4. I believe that Emma also was the cause of this, not only did she unintentionally give Daniel a better life but the same to Mia. And then she restored that life at the end of the season.)

In conclusion, Jemma forever.

But really, I hope someone reads this and enjoys or sees the situation from both sides and how they weren't really a good couple. Kind of doomed in the end when you think about it. I mean the girl loves butterflies and he's allergic to butterflies. I don't think the writers were subtle with that one, huh.

[wandaluvstacos]

I am so happy right now. That first line of stitches is literally the first thing I ever sewed with this machine, and they were just... perfect. Immediately. No adjusting of tension, timing, nothing. That's after I took the needle assembly out to clean and put it back in. Not sure if I'm lucky or if it's just hard to fuck up the timing on these machines.

Anyway, I'm so happy she RUNS cuz I rewired her ENTIRELY because all of her wiring was rotted through. I had no guarantee that I did it right until I could put it all together and plug it in. And everything works!!!! :D This is a 96-year-old machine that according to the woman I bought it off of Facebook Marketplace from for $40 said she didn't think it had been used in 30 years.

And it showed, of course, though she was in pretty good shape overall. I had to do a lot of cleaning of old varnish, but she didn't have much rust.

Before:

After:

She will do 30 STITCHES PER INCH, which if you're wondering what that looks like, it's the stitches on the right:

Even my 50s/60s era machines don't stitch that tiny.

Her motor sounds good too, not loud or laggy. Amazing that a 96-year-old motor can run so well. But that's how they made shit back then.

Anyway, next plan of action: redo the cabinet. I want to take off the veneer on the top of it and put new veneer on. This thing was not taken good care over the course of its life, which is sad, cuz this machine would have cost a shit ton of money in 1928.

I'll probably sand down the rest and restain it. And maybe do a French polish on both machine and cabinet, to protect them for another 100 years. :3

Stu Macher x M!Reader

AHHHH MY FIRST REQUEST🤭🤭 OFC I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU- Admin Zjay🪷 (reupload since i deleted everything🥲)

Requested?: yes

Fic type: Headcanons (not sure of you wanted a oneshot or this but just let me know and ill redo it)

Time started: 5:34 AM

Character: Stu Macher x M!reader

A/N: this may be bad since i dont capture extroverted characters’ personalities as well as Introverts but ill try my best😁

Stu being...well stu never really put much thought into anyone being taller than him until you came that is

When he first saw you it was in his History class that, in all honesty, he wasnt paying that nuch attention in. Just off in la la land and fucking with the other students with his goofy antics

Then you walked in, silently. Having to duck a little since the doorways never took tall people into consideration

Upon seeing a big figure in his peripheral vision he snapped his head towards you and his brain LITERALLY stopped all thoughts from processing everything

He was just ASTONISHED at your size. He was so amazed that he prayed to the gods that his teacher would sit you next to him

Unfortunately for him, she didn’t but will that stop Stuart? Absolutely not

After about an hour of boring lectures about Wars the bell had rung and kids starting pouring out into the halls, running, screaming, talking and laughing and doing what normal Highschoolers do before they speed off to their next class

But not Stu, well, not right away anyways. He was looking for the new kid. You. He searched above everyones heads and then he spotted you. Taller amongst the crowd of teenagers. You made them look like ants. Stu loved your height it was a relief to finally have someone who is taller than he is for a change

He quickly ran up to you after he spotted you and tapped your shoulder. “Hey, you’re in my history class i wanted to ask for your name earlier but-ah...Ms.HasAStickUpHerAss would’ve lectured me for an hour straight and sent me to detention.” he chuckles as he scratches his head, trying to seem awkward

You laugh “Oh is that so? My name is Y/N, what’s yours?” you questioned back as you rummage through your locker to get your textbook. “Stu Macher at your service” he says as he puts on a fake British accent and bows before you as if you are royalty. You laugh again and close your locker, tetxbook in hand.

“Nice to meet you Sir Stu. But if you’ll excuse me I have to get to Math and that’s all the way on the other side of the school” you say in an already exhausted tone. Stu smiles and playfully wraps his arms around your shoulders or tries to, after 4 failed attempts he gets onto his tiptoes and tries it “i can walk you there” he says as he starts to steer you down the hall. “You sure? Won’t you be late to class? If not later than i will be?” you question but Stu just brushes off the question a careless scoff “pffft, I’ll be fine. I have Science and he barely even remembers my face so i’m not worried” he states as he unwraps his arm from your neck, gets off of his tip toes and starts to walk in front of you backwards

He walks you to your class and then after that, yall talk almost everyday you are like his new favorite person to mess with. And the height? Oh he’s definitely gonna tease you about it “hey! Hows the weather up their dude?” “Fe Fi Fo Fum says the giant Y/N” “shhh as you can see hea we have a woild Y/N in its Natural habitat” ‘STU I CAN SEE YOU BEHIND THAT BUSH’

After a few months Stu starts to notice his crush on you. His longing stares, the way he notices every little change and detail about you (the way you slouch to be the same height as everyone, the way you almost bump into every doorway, etc), how he likes to be around you, how he likes to be the short one for once, etc. He’s shocked to say the least, since your both guys and its not really “normal” for the same gender to date but he quickly gets over it because he can love whoever the fuck he wants and if someone has a problem with it? They’ll be hanging by their appendix the next day.

Stu sits on the idea of him having a crush on you for a few weeks all while acting the exact same way except a lot more physical. The noogies turn into him ruffling your hair gently, he asks for you to get things for him even though he can clearly get it himself, he compliments your height more often, the hugs become tighter and longer, and his touches linger. He can tell you feel the same but he isn’t sure but all he needs is a positive response...

A/N: lowkey dont know how to feel about this 🫢i hope you like it though!!

Time ended: 6:31 AM

[mellarkably]

ur so right abt the way that scene between ben and devi was shot because every single moment when we see devi making out with someone (or about to have s*x) is so driven by her “horny side” only, for paxton and des she just wanted to have s*x and get over with it and with ethan she just was on her horny and active rush which is good but the ben/devi scene, yes it was framed with a sense of urgency between them but also so much care and love. the lighting, the touches, the hands, smiling at each other and just everything about it was beautiful.

and call me crazy but i am happy the show didn’t do the typical “devi only has s*x with ben” narrative because i was about sure they wouldn’t have her have s*x with ethan and they did and was surprised because most shows don’t do that. ben and devi lost their virginity together and that’s already special but they didn’t have devi pondering around waiting for ben. she got to experience a little bit of fun and discover her preferences and be comfortable with it (and maybe ben did so too with margot) and then they get to make love to each other and know what it means and the differences in that and now they can start a relationship when there’s some level of experience and they can just explore what they both want.

some shows tend to do the opposite for “romanticism��� so i am glad they did not.

OH ANON HOW I LOVE YOU FOR THIS BECAUSE CAN. WE. TALK ABOUT IT!

i already predicted a while ago that the show would have ben and devi make love again but this time it would be much more natural and easy for them:

i agree with you. i think it was important to show benvi's first time as being awkward, and having it pale in comparison to her next time with ethan, who is far more experienced. it allowed devi to have fun (and im assuming its almost certain ben also had sex with margot) while embodying the whole, fun time NOT a long time thing. im sure they both learned a lot about their preferences like you said during those respective relationships.

but going back to what i loved most about 410's sex redo - how it was the ONLY sex scene in the show that wasn't shot like a high school steamy fling type of deal.

of course, there's that big damn kiss that's been building up for four years with more steam needed to be released than pati's rice cooker, BUT, the lighting. the song, the actors' natural chemistry. the tone itself already feels so much more serious than any other romantic scene in the show.

i honestly thought it would end here, so imagine my surprise when they continued - and i think this second part is what sets it apart from all the other intimate scenes in the show.

henna shot. i fucking died. ive talked enough about this on twitter and im sure other people are talking about this but it is just so symbolic for devi as an individual, her relationship with her culture and how she doesn't have to separate that from her romantic endeavours because she is desirable as she is! s1 devi would faint! she absolutely would!

and now this shot, which is what the tags you're referring to were about, has me still going cuckoo bananas like. pulling away to smile at each other. they're literally in fucking love. this is love. this is not the show trying to gain an audience using steamy scenes, or devi being horny - not that there is anything wrong with that either - but she is so visibly content and comfortable and happy and you can see it in her smile. both of their smiles in fact.

that small moment is what makes this scene for me.

anyway sorry for the huge rant. if you couldn't tell already i really love this scene! it was very well done.

[thenightshadowqueen]

Hi...If you don't mind, can I ask, who are your top 7 (or top 5) favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon) and your top 10 favorite characters ever from any media? Why do you love them all? Thanks if you want to answer....

Hi! Thank you so much for the ask! I love making lists, so I’m going to have a great time with this.

(Also I’m not sure if characters from Shoot from the Hip videos (improvised comedy group, if you haven’t heard of them) fall under the categories you laid out for the ships, but I decided to include them; I hope that’s all right! If you want me to redo the list without them, let me know.)

Ships

7. Bubbamiah (Bubba x Jeremiah, Inside the Mysterious Cube (Shoot from the Hip), canon)

They have such a wholesome relationship. They’re gay farmers (funny that SFTH has done that twice) from the southern US, and they’re just so genuinely happy together. Also their story is so gorgeous? I love that they fight side by side—Bubba got cube legs just to follow Jeremiah onto the battlefield, and I assume that was something he hadn’t really wanted to do (because he’d have done it sooner if he wanted to). But he did it anyway so that Jeremiah wouldn’t be alone. And then Jeremiah dies (in what is genuinely one of the most beautiful death scenes I’ve ever witnessed), and Bubba’s response is to get revenge, because he knows that’s what Jeremiah would want. And then Jeremiah comes back, and I’m so glad he does, because they deserve to go back to living their comfortable, peaceful lives on the farm.

6. Ditch (Derek x Titch, the Unrelenting Aubergine (Shoot from the Hip), canon)

Oh, look, the other gay farmers from a SFTH play. Who would have guessed? Okay, but seriously, these two are so fucking adorable. Derek is so helplessly in love. Honestly, despite the clear sexual intent of the title, they are so wholesome. Also: Titch, my beloved. He’s so scared of his own feelings, and Derek is perfect for him, too, because he knows when to give Titch space and when to push him to make a decision. They just have such a beautiful story.

5. Hornchurch (Andrews x Betruvia, the Phantom of Hornchurch (Shoot from the Hip), headcanon)

Look. Look. They have everything I look for in a couple. They remind me so much of Evervale, so it’s honestly no surprise I gravitated toward them. The thing is, no matter how much I love more wholesome ships, tragic and toxic ships have always been and will always be my favourite. And they definitely fall insert both categories. They’ve spent millennia reincarnating just to fight each other, and that, if you ask me, is very gay.

4. Esmerelda x the vampire slayer (the thirsty vampires sketch (Shoot from the Hip), canon)

Honestly I’m not even sure I can talk about them because I just want to scream. They had so much fucking chemistry, for a start, and I loved their characters individually. But together? I just. I just. Also, the fucking ending… I loved it before. But the ending just solidified it. Because, as previously stated, I love tragic or toxic ships. And so here we are. (Also is there a ship name for them? Because I need one.)

3. Castlelair (Alastair Lowe x Gavin Grieve, All of Us Villains and All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody and C. L. Herman, canon)

Okay so. So. Um. I’m unsure of how to express my love for them, because holy shit. This is enemies to lovers done right. I remember reading the first book and thinking that they had chemistry, but I didn’t think anything would come of it, because Alastair was with Isobel. And then I read the second book, and I screamed. They’re so perfect? I have so many annotations just screaming incoherently about them (honestly calling them annotations is a bit of a stretch). I love how they’re opposites of each other from the beginning, and yet so fucking similar deep down. Also, I love how obsessed Gavin was with him from the beginning, especially when compared to the fact that Alastair literally never bothered to learn his name at the beginning. Also (and this is probably bad), I love it when my ships torture someone else together. I don’t know what it is, but something about it compels me like nothing else (again, in FICTION). So that is quite the bonus for them. I could genuinely write a whole wall of text about them (albeit not a very coherent one), but I’ll leave it for now.

2. Evervale (Eli Ever x Victor Vale, Vicious and Vengeful by V. E. Schwab, headcanon)

Evervale is kind of what I look for when I’m looking for ships. They have so much history, which is probably the thing I love the most in ships. I wrote two posts a bit ago about all of the things I love about them, so I think this bit will probably just be a shorter version of that, but here goes. They are the only people who have ever understood each other, and they are the only people who ever will. They mean so much to each other, even ten years after everything went down. And even though they hate each other, they still care so much about what the other one thinks. They’re so fundamentally similar but different in such key ways, and I love them so much, and I think I’m going to cut myself off here, because I already did two posts about this.

1. Merthur (Arthur Pendragon x Merlin, BBC Merlin, headcanon)

It was never going to be anyone else. They’re a classic, and there’s a reason for that. The tragedy of it is a big part of what draws me to it—Merlin is left wandering the world, alone, forever, without his other half. But there’s also—and I think I made a post about this, too—the element of unbalanced dedication. Merlin loves Arthur so deeply that he rewrites his entire moral code, crosses all of his lines (“Who says my destiny has to include murder?”), literally gives his entire life trying to keep Arthur safe. And Arthur has no idea. And that, more than anything else, is the thing that makes this ship for me. (I told you I liked the darker relationship dynamics.) Obviously, there are also a million other reasons why I ship them—the way they talk to each other, the fucking looks—but I think that the the reason I love them as much as I do comes down to the dedication and the tragedy.

Characters

10. June (Vengeful by V. E. Schwab)

I’m genuinely so intrigued by her. I don’t have that much to say about her, to be honest, because we don’t have a lot of information on her, but I just really like her. She’s so interesting, and I really want to learn more about her; I hope we get more of her backstory in Victorious.

9. Merlin (BBC Merlin)

Honestly, he goes through so much. He deserved so much better, but truthfully, his pain is part of why I love him so much. The thing is, I don’t often find myself liking main characters, because I fine “good people” to be irritating (in fiction, obviously). But Merlin intrigues me, because he starts with such a strong moral code, but he ends up sacrificing all of that for Arthur’s sake. And that? That kind of character progression fascinates me.

8. Juliet Caesar (Caesar and Juliet (Shoot from the Hip))

I love murderous women, okay? She’s insane, and I love her for it. Her line about women getting corrupted by power just like men was iconic. Also, I’m just so interested as to her character development. Because of the time-skip, we go from her being fourteen and a pretty innocent, sweet girl—albeit with a definite hint of desire for power—to her fifteen years later, as a full-grown woman, murdering people and running the entire country. And I just really want to see those fifteen years. (Obviously they didn’t have time in the play; this isn’t a criticism of that.) But yeah, she really interests me.

7. Arthur Pendragon (BBC Merlin)

The first time I saw Arthur Pendragon on a screen, I was twelve years old, and he was a dick. And the first words out of my mouth were, “He’s going to be my favourite.” And he hasn’t let me down. Arthur is a flawed character—which I actually really appreciate, especially since a lot of Arthurian stories portray him as the pinnacle of chivalry—but he has a good heart and a lot of trauma. And I think he’s such a fascinating character, especially looking at the way his dad fucked him up. He made a lot of mistakes through the course of show, but he’s always genuinely trying to do what’s best for his people.

6. The vampire slayer (the thirsty vampires sketch (Shoot from the Hip))

She deserves a name. (I’ve seen a few fanon ones floating around, but I wasn’t sure which one to use.) She’s amazing. She’s so clever, with the way she infiltrated Ybbob and Esmeralda’s home, and with her seduction of Esmeralda. Also, I’m very much here for her very open interest in both of the vampires. (You could argue that that was for show, but I like to think that that’s just what she told herself, and it was actually fuelled by genuine desire. But that’s just a headcanon.) (Also Sam played her really hot—)

5. Gwaine (BBC Merlin)

Okay so. First, to get the obvious out of the way: who the fuck let him look like that? He’s both pretty and hot, and that shouldn’t be allowed. For the record, that is not the only reason I like him. Honestly, the main reason I like him is because he’s a sassy little shit, and that’s my favourite character archetype. He has absolutely no regard for status, and he has chemistry with fucking everybody, and he’s honestly just a queer icon. (Out of the MANY queer-coded characters in BBC Merlin, he is one of the few I genuinely physically cannot picture being straight.)

4. Gavin Grieve (All of Us Villains and All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody and C. L. Herman)

Gavin. Gavin. I think the reason I adore him so much—or, at least, the biggest reason, because I have a lot—is because of just how far he’s willing to go. That’s what I look for in a character. He knows what he wants—to survive—and he will do anything to get it. He mutilates himself. He kidnaps someone. He tortured two separate men. He will do anything, and I admire that. He took his fucked-up family and childhood, and he decided that he was going to prove them all wrong. And he did, and I’m so proud of him.

3. Victor Vale (Vicious and Vengeful by V. E. Schwab)

There are very few characters I relate to as deeply as I relate to Victor Vale. (Which, knowing the things he’s done, is quite concerning, actually.) The way he talks about something being “missing” from himself, more after he became an EO but before that, too, but not feeling like that’s necessarily a bad thing, is both fascinating and deeply relatable. Also, there’s one scene that has stuck with me since I first read it: Victor in the hotel the night they rescue Sydney, feeling that bone-deep restlessness. That is the first and only time I’ve ever seen that feeling—which I also experience (it genuinely feels like torture)—adequately described. I love Victor for a lot of reasons; he’s pragmatic, and he’s quite ambivalent about morals, and he’s totally obsessed with and locked in on Eli. But every reason I give just comes back to how much I see myself in him.

2. Alastair Lowe (All of Us Villains and All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody and C. L. Herman)

Alastair Lowe is my baby. Honestly, his family fucked him up so badly, even worse than the other families—and that’s saying something. His obsession with being a villain is beautiful, and I really love seeing how his relationship to villainy and being a monster evolves through the books. He starts out so sure of himself, and then, after Hendry’s death, he’s so unsure, and then he decides that he wants to become a better person. And then, when Hendry comes back, he backslides so gorgeously. Honestly, he is one of the best characters I’ve ever read. He’s so angry, and he’s so sad, and he’s so hurt, and he doesn’t even know it.

1. Morgana Pendragon (BBC Merlin)

I said that I love insane women, and I meant it. I love insane women. Honestly, her character arc was so beautiful. (It could have been better executed, but overall, I still really liked it.) She was my favourite character from the first episode, and that has not changed since I was twelve years old. Good Morgana is my favourite. So is evil Morgana. (Also, this isn’t why I love her, but why the fuck is she allowed to be that gorgeous? It is deeply unfair to me as a queer person.) I genuinely don’t know what to say, because I don’t think I can offer any kind of intelligent insight into why I love her. I just love her.

EVERGLEN FLOOR PLANS (kind of)

OKAY LISTEN

These are horrible. They absolutely suck. I couldn't access a ruler and, well, I have the messiest handwriting known to humankind. And any other existing being. I'll probably redo them sometimes, neater since I rushed all of these.

Also, the lighting when I took the pictures were horrible. Had to do everything on paper because technology was being mean >:0

yes I was leaning on an atlas

on the floor

One more thing to add- I based this off, like, no canon at all. (close to no canon at least) I made 99% of this up, based everything off vibes and hc's (bad ones)

Everglen floor plan under the cut! (complete with both related and unrelated notes)

Includes:

Floor 1 plan

Floor 2 plan

Floor 3 plan

Everglen grounds plan

Related + unrelated notes

lemme include a mini explanation about some of this :)

everglen has the vibes of three floors.

the kitchen is totally close to the door

so whenever biana is cooking in the kitchen the front door is close by, just in case. (my hc: she's a horrible baker. idk if that's canon or not)

biana and fitz's room are down the hall from each other- they can run down to the other's room in, like, 5 seconds because... sibling antics :D

there was some super random stuff i included. doesn't relate to everglen at all. (for example: 'mr arson x bronte' and some keefitz stuff)

i had a choice to be productive and FINALLY bake like i've been nagging myself to for the past few weeks or do random kotlc shit.

you can tell which option i chose.

everglen has TOO MANY BATHROOMS. plus, like, 3 guest rooms.

mysterious locked rooms. three of them. i'm GOING to find a purpose for them in my fanfic (keefitz ;D)

and i know little to nothing about architecture (how tf do you spell that-) so these floor plans would NEVER WORK

i also included like, the outsideness

lake, forest, alvar's flat thing he stayed in during..flashback was it?? i think i need to reread the series-

stargazing on the roof. fitz. biana. keefe. yes.

if fitz is up on the roof, his parents literally cannot get him down. he WILL stay up there till he wants to. he levitates up/down :)

keefe keeps almost breaking bones bc he is not the greatest at levitating

that's why he has fitz :)

tbh the lost cities needs therapists

elwin needs to be a therapist

he specialises in physical injuries? idc.

uhh anyways yeah that's mostly it :D

@a-lil-rats-art @stunning-mess

hey guys i posted it :D

told y'all it sucked but- 🤷‍♀️

I hate this. :)

[yawnderu]

I only have the courage to ask this because it is a good 1:30AM as I am writing this and the sleep deprivation is hitting me hard so I am sorry that you have to suffer through my ramble

Anywho, I think we should encourage more people to make COD OCs because it is so fun to see how people would interpret how their OC would react with the in game characters. I feel like most people do not one to do it due to the stigma associated with it and self inserts but OCs can be so fun

For example, I want to know more about Stray and learn everything I can but that may just be my Autism and my hyperfixation on talking about OCs I find interesting. I remember reading the post you had done for her after you reblogged it and it made me want to redo the biographies I had done for my two major COD OCs as I just loved it

We also need more trends for OCs. When I get round to posting about mine I want to try and make a trend where other creators can post ideas about skins their OC or self insert would have if they were in multiplayer since I myself love thinking of outfit designs as they can show so much of the OC's personality. Or a trend where we get to see OC voice lines if they were in the games and voice lines of them talking to other characters as I love when OCs have beef with the in game characters as it is just so fun

Since imagine if Stray and König had a matching skin set similar to how König and Horangi have a matching skin set

I just wanted to bring it up to you because you are one of the only few creators I follow that have a COD OC and I thought you may like a ramble. As you can probably tell I have a love for learning and talking about OCs, mine and others

Also for the ask game I want to know the answer to question 11 as I love hearing about OCs and their weapons especially if they customise their weapons

Have a good night wherever you are and please get some rest and I apologise about this ramble

I was literally laying in bed watching Naked and Afraid but this got me so excited that I got back on my PC to answer BHJEHBKEFKJHB

Yes yes!! I'd absolutely love to see more people creating their COD ocs, I have quite a lot of fun creating mine. OCs are definitely a lot of fun, you're basically creating a character from scratch AND you get the choice to make them look and act the way you want, as well as giving them any backgrounds and relationships you could possibly want!!

You can ask me anything about Stray!! I absolutely adore talking about my OCs, that also includes K-9, though I haven't made an official Military Personnel Profile for her yet!

AHHH yesyes!! Especially the skins would be interesting to see since the military has quite a lot of regulations, but I adore seeing characters in more casual clothes and what they'd dress like normally, little details such as masks and even weapon attachments could give them so much charisma.

Funny thing about the voice lines thing!! I was actually planning on making that for Stray since I have a professional microphone, but I got kinda lazy on creating voice lines to do the VA work HBJEFBHJ

Ahhh absolutely!! Even if it's something small, she definitely enjoys matching with König, so I can imagine her wearing a similar mask or maybe even a mask created by him because at the end of the day, they're spec ops and they need to maintain their privacy.

Question 11!!

What is your OC's weapon of choice? Have they ever actually used it? As it is used by both the German and British military, her weapon of choice is the AWM sniper, as it has a pretty precise and effective firing range. Although with the 141 she doesn't get the chance to be a sniper much and has become more hands-on, she used to work with the AWM quite a lot back in the German military and after being recruited as a KorTac member.

You too!! Don't apologize, I absolutely adore talking about my OCs and as someone who's also autistic, this itched a special part of my brain<333

huening kai x reader

note: super fluffy || i literally just thought of this rn and i thought it was like the cutest scenario ever. [if you’re having a bad day or week or whatever it might be just know that you’re doing great regardless of the outcomes & that i’m here cheering you on!! hope you enjoy this fic and lmk wut u think ^_^]

god was it the worst day like ever... to start, your alarm didn’t go off so not only did you have like no time to get ready for the day but you didn’t get to have any breakfast either. you felt awful, you could still feel the weight of the whole week on your shoulders. usually your weekends were relaxing and restful but your boss had sent back the reports that you turned in and basically told you that she wanted you to redo them all. so now your precious sunday would be spent in your office, all alone. your whole week had been so busy that you didn’t get to do any house work or spend any time with your boyfriend, huening kai. you had told him about everything going on and how you just felt terrible. he had comforted you then and he planned to spend the whole day with you today. but that’s when your boss asked you to fix your reports, and just like that you had ruined his plans too… by the time you finished and got back home it was around 6 pm, your whole day spent at work, how nice. there was still so much that you needed to get done at home so it’s not like you’d even get to relax either.

you took a deep breath before putting in the key to unlock your house, calming yourself down before entering. you knew that anything would set you off right now and the absolute last thing you would want is to take it all out on huening kai. you finally went in and he called out to you, “y/n?” he said from the living room. “mhm,” you hummed, holding it all together. but still you could feel the sting in your eyes and the ache in your head. he approached you and placed the softest kiss to your lips, for a second you felt peace then it all rushed back. “come on, let’s watch a movie,” he said, taking hold of your hand so gently that you were almost convinced. “no baby, i have a lot of stuff to do right now,” you said, feeling bad that you had to reject his offer. “don’t worry about none of that i took care of it,” he said, a sweet smile on his face. “but there was so much to do… how could you possibly-,” you started, shaking your head and pinching the bridge of your nose. he took the hand from your face and held both of your hands to his lips and kissed them. “i washed our clothes, folded it, and put it up just where you like it.” kiss. “i washed all the dishes and wiped the counters.” kiss. “i made the bed and cleaned up your desk.” kiss. “i found your grocery list on the fridge and i went to buy everything we needed.” kiss. “i cleaned our bathroom and organized everything how you like it too.” kiss. “and i ordered your favorite for dinner, which should be getting here soo-,” he stumbled when you suddenly wrapped your arms around his waist and buried your face into his chest. he laughed at your initial response but it was cut short when he felt you trembling against him. he took his hands and put them on either side of your face to get a good look at you. “what’s wrong? why’re you crying?” he asked, a concerned pout on his face. “how could i ever deserve you,” you cried, “all i’ve done this whole week is ruin things.” he wiped at your tears with his thumbs and placed a kiss on your forehead. “you didn’t ruin a thing. you were having a bad week, that’s all. you did all you could and that was amazing as is,” he said, hugging you again tightly. you looked up at him for a second before leaning in to his lips, kissing him with every emotion he had made you feel. he kissed you back immediately, and you ran your fingers through his hair before he pulled away slightly. “y/n i love you more than anything… please tell me you’re feeling better,” he said, a hopeful glint in his caring eyes. “yes, i’m feeling so much better now,” you say, the both of you then laying down comfortably on the couch. “kai, thank you for everything, it really really means a lot that you’d do all this,” you said, as you laid against him, chest to chest. “of course, angel, you do so much for me that it’s the least i can do,” he said, rubbing your back. and finally you got to spend the rest of your weekend the way you wanted to, tangled up with the person who loves you the most.
