Third semester, my beloved

Dialogue for anyone struggling to read it:

Akechi: For Maruki, which do you think wins? The people hoping the trains are still running in the snow, or the people hoping to be "stranded" with their crush? He can't do both, after all.

Akira: Stranded would for me, probably

Akechi: I hope you think of a better way of asking to come home with me, Akira

Laying a gentle kiss to the back of the other’s hand.

(Thank you! ^^ This is probably going to be a scene for a fic I'd like to write in the future, but in case I never do or something comes up, here it is)

The Genoshan Gala was in full swing, mutants of all shapes and sizes decked out to the nines and looking every bit as stunning as the shimmering hall they danced in.

Gambit had chosen a spot at the bar with the best sight-line of the grand stairs at the back of the room, waiting eagerly for the appearances of the two women he had accompanied. He wasn't surprised they were taking a bit longer than him - he knew Rogue especially would be taking her time to look absolutely stunning. Although, as his gaze caught a glimpse of Magneto from the corner of his eye, Gambit turned his thoughts away from the painful conversation they'd had almost half an hour before.

He found himself wondering about Shadow. Gambit had never seen the woman in a dress or even a skirt in all the time he'd known her - although granted, they'd never been together at a fancy occasion such as this. Excitement buzzed under his skin at the thought - would she keep it modest out of shyness, or would she decide to let her hair down and wear something that would drive him wild?

Neither, it turned out.

Quite a few mutants came down the stairs at once, and it took Gambit a moment to pick out the familiar large, fluffy curly hair from them, but once he did:

"Ki-yar...!" He breathed.

Shadow was dressed in a suit very much like Gambit's, except hers had been tailored to accent her slim figure and the curve of her hips. The long-sleeved jacket and slacks looked black in the dark, but shone a gorgeous metallic blue whenever the light caught it, like a magpie's iridescent wing. A swallow brooch was pinned to the right side of the jacket's collar as if it was chasing around her neck. The white shirt below was buttoned up to her neck, her own black bow-tie completing the look.

Gambit was dimly aware that someone called his name, but his eyes were all for the woman descending the stairs, rising to his feet and walking towards her as if he was in a dream, tethered to her. He couldn't believe that no-one but him seemed to pay her any mind.

She was a couple of steps from the bottom when he finally reached her, and his heart almost somersaulted out of his chest when she finally caught sight of him, blue eyes widening and her jaw falling ajar in a gasp.

"Remy!" Her eyes shot all over him, drinking him up like he was water in a burning desert. "Gods, you look...incredible!"

"No more den you, chère." Gambit replied, sweeping another look over her. "Mon dieu, you are..." For once, at loss for words - neither English nor Cajun provided him with anything adequate to describe what she looked like, how she was setting him alight. He tried to push the part of him that wanted to peel that suit off her piece by piece right to the back of his head - there would be time for that eventually, and he wanted to enjoy this.

Gambit bowed slightly, offering a hand to her.

"Shadow, please dance wit me. Grant Gambit dis one night."

She blushed.

"I-I'd love to Remy, but I don't know how-"

He smiled warmly.

"Don't need to for a slow-dance, chère. We can leave the learnin' to another time. I jus' want to be with you tonight."

She blushed more, ducking her head shyly.

"Okay then, but no complaining if I step on your toes."

As she placed her hand in his, Gambit lifted it to his mouth, placing a kiss on the back, holding her blue eyes with his midnight ones.

"Beautiful lady such as you, mon ombre?" He said, gently leading her down to the floor below. "You can step on my toes as many times as ya like."

Shadow was definitely about to retort to that, but Gambit stopped that by pulling her close, placing her hands on his shoulders, and curling his arms around her waist.

"Jus' sway wit me." He murmured softly, leaning close so their foreheads touched. "Let me find de beat, den follow me. Nothin' more den dat."

She smiled, one that lit her face up like the sunrise, and the world completely fell away from around them. There was chatter and talking somewhere around them, and a gasp or two, but it didn't matter - not now. Not with the two of them.

They had all night, and they had each other.

That was enough.

HI ITS ME AND MY PERCICO ART AGAIN

[franki-lew-yo]

James and the Giant Peach but mostly Centispider/Spiderpede related doodles. They're my childhood otp which is why I'm allowed to make fun of their forced dynamic and NOT YOU.

Also included this soft-AU thing about if Centipede lost some of his arms in his fight with the skeletons. In a modern animated movie, I feel like that would happen for the sake of drama and also it'd make animating Centipede easier for the rest of the feature. Winwin!

Hopperpede intensifies (wiff angst).

Ship: UzuRen [Uzui Tengen x Rengoku Kyojuro]

Part 1: Friends to Lovers

This is my ultimate OTP, I live and die for this ship, I love both characters to death. They both live rent free in my head and I will never regret to be on this shipwreck.

If you are more into [you x character] please make sure to check my other blog -> @guerrerajaguar .

In my honest opinion there is no one else better for my little sunshine than the flamboyant god of festivals and let me tell you why:

We all know how they first meet at the Hashira summit when Kyojuro is summoned by Oyakata.

I firmly believe that Tengen fell in love at first sight with Kyojuro, right there in Oyakata’s Zen Garden. At first I think he was star-struck by Kyojuro’s looks and aura, but we lost him when the flame boy confronted Sanemi with not an ounce of fear.

Tengen definitely tried to act to look cool around him, unconsciously flirting with Kyojuro, showing off his muscles and flashy breathing technique, and Kyojuro was genuinely fascinated by this, fueling Tengen’s ego even more.

“Amazing!” “As expected from the Sound Pillar!” “I have never seeing a breathing technique as beautiful as yours!”, Tengen’s chest will fill with pride every time Kyojuro praised him.

Tengen LOVES to be praised, specially by his handsome colleague. He would constantly find himself going over the edge when Kyojuro was around.

The rest of the Pillars hated when this happened, Tengen would be even more insufferable around them, cocky and presumptuous, but Kyojuro never found this annoying at all.

Kyojuro always felt admiration and respect for Tengen as he considered him his valuable superior and never realized that his “comments” about Tengen were easily interpreted as flirting.

All the Pillars knew that Tengen was down bad for Kyojuro even before Tengen realized this himself.

Tengen did not realized his feelings only after he and Kyojuro became closer acquaintances, and I like to believe that it happened when they had their first mission together.

After that, Tengen started to be really TOUCHY with Kyojuro. At first, these were subtle, accidental touches, but as Kyojuro did not seem to care, the nature of these touches intensified as to Tengen trying to pin Kyojuro against the wall, grabbing Kyojuro’s hands, breathing into the back of his neck, hugging him from behind, you name it; complete and entire invasion of the flame pillar personal space.

Tengen ADORES Kyojuro’s hair, so somehow his hands always found a way into Kyojuro’s flaming strands. Softer than what it looked like.

It was after his first mission together than Kyojuro found out about Tengen having 3 wives. He did not approved at all, as for him, a man should be completely devoted to only one persona for the rest of their life, just like his parents were.

Kyojuro tried to fool himself with the argument that Tengen already had 3 wives, so it was very unlikely that his friend had feelings for him.

It gets harder for Tengen to conceal what he really feels, he wants to get more intimate with Kyojuro and I think he is completely fine with the fact that he has fallen for a man.

Tengen confesses first because he really can’t stand to be in the “bromance zone” anymore.

Kyojuro is a bit shocked but not completely surprised at all, he is not as dense as a lot of people thinks. And also, Kyojuro is unbothered by the fact that Tengen is a man.

Kyojuro has a hard time to accept Tengen’s feeling, because in his mind, he will be committing adultery and that is something he will never approve of.

But against of all odds and his own morale, I think Kyojuro would officially start his romance with Tengen and OH BOY, ARE THEY PHYSICAL.

If Tengen was touchy before, after his confession, he is all hands over HIS MAN.

Tengen its jealous AS HELL.

He was a bit jealous when they were friends but now it’s a lot worse.

He hates when women they rescue try to get too intimate with Kyojuro, this never turns into a fight thanks to Kyojuro’s character and personality but Kyojuro is very firm to not let this to get in the way of their duty.

I also think that Tengen gets more openly jealous from some of the other Pillars and I will elaborate from whom on another post :P.

On the other hand, Kyojuro’s jealousy is shown more as bitterness for Tengen’s wives. He believes that the ladies are able to give Tengen what he will never be capable of [kids]. But he is not resentful at the girls at all, all the opposite, Kyojuro contradicts himself all the time by telling Tengen that he should be more respectful of his ladies.

As opposed to Tengen, Kyojuro never voices these insecurities to Tengen because he does not feel he has the right to do so :(

Kids are really important to Kyojuro, one of his main goals in life is to be extend the Rengoku legacy, Tengen takes a lot of importance to this as he wants to make Kyojuro happy and motivates Tengen to make important decisions. I will explain this in another post.

Tengen teaches Kyojuro the arts of love, Tengen is gentle and chivalrous, caring and compassionate, I will explain in more detail the love language of each.

Kyojuro is extremely romantic when they are alone, I think that as Kyojuro is super passionate, Tengen gets the best out of him in this aspect as Kyojuro have never loved someone before.

Tengen is Kyojuro’s first love <3.

Tengen makes Kyojuro flush in public but Kyojuro takes Tengen’s breath away in private.

Tengen IS CRAZY about this, he loves when Kyojuro gets intimate and touchy with him. Tengen wants Kyojuro to need and want him as much as he does.

I believe Kyojuro’s is the first to say: I love you.

Tengen is very vocal about needing Kyojuro, Tengen is a demanding lover, he wants all the attention and pampering that Kyojuro has to offer and at the worst time possible lol.

In the middle of a fight? Maybe. In front of other Pillars? Absolutely. In front of Shinjuro? DON’T even dare not to kiss him back.

It takes Kyojuro a bit more time to feel like he is entitled of receiving love and attention from Tengen, because he feels like a home-wrecker mistress lol. So he rarely demands any attention from Tengen.

Tengen confuses this as Kyojuro not loving him enough, or not being sure about them two being together.

Kyojuro’s guilt drives him a bit away from Tengen, again, not feeling like he is entitled to anything and it takes him a bit of time to settle this down.

Tengen certainly panics whenever Kyojuro acts distant or seems to want space in between them, this mainly due to Tengen’s insecurities and feeling like he is not good enough.

They eventually work this stuff out, and have a very healthy, sexy and loving relationship. I will elaborate this in another post.

I will also elaborate my thoughts about the Rengoku family reaction to Kyojuro’s and Tengen’s relationship.

That is it for now, I hope to write the other parts soon. I am a multishipper, so expect to see other pairing with the unbelievably perfect Flame Hashira and other KnY characters.

If you love this ship as much as I do, please don’t hesitate to hit my DM’s and send your requests as well <3. Wishing you all the best, read you all later!

[danpuff-ao3]

My eyes have been opened to potential.

By that I mean...I'm suddenly super into Snarriet? Listen, I've had some opinions about genderbending in the past. And I generally don't care for het ships. But this? This is great. I've written it. I'm reading it now. And somehow...my feelings about Snarry have intensified? Which I didn't think was possible.

Now I just think that...wow, my OTP really are destined to be together in every world, in every iteration. M/M, F/F, F/M, doesn't matter, they're made for each other.

Twenty years of shipping these two and I'm in a whole new world of loving and appreciating them!

Next up: fem!Sev/Harry.

Don't mind me, I'm going to be all up in my ship feels for the rest of forever.

[dangermousie]

So, I watched the preview for 27 and oh boy!

And now Baby Marquis is gonna fall for NYZ as well. Honestly, pervy fanfics where both Ruyi and NYZ get Baby Marquis to work off his needing to be dommed issues are writing themselves.

Also, honestly, this is totally what Ruyi did back way when to him which confirms that the OTP is terrifyingly alike but also yeah, even more OT3 fodder here :P

Yeah, he looks so calm.

Delicious! Also my mind is in the gutter.

Ummmm

Honestly, we've just transported to a different kind of shizunfucker narrative and it's glorious.

When he calls her "my Ruyi" I died...

I would think Baby Marquis figures out after this who Ruyi's boyfriend is :P

But also, I loved this, his beef not being with him liking Ruyi but causing her trouble. Get you a man like this...only preferably not an assassin.

Meatbun vibes intensifying...

turtely's otp challenge

now on ao3!

read day 22 here: (prompt: competing)

(this is a sequel to day 21! read it on tumblr or ao3!)

summary: After John finds out who his secret admirer is, him and Sherlock go to a fair and it's the perfect date.

Gen, 1,572 words, AU - High School. First Dates, Holding Hands, Fair, Roller Coasters, Cotton Candy Fluff, they are so in love it hurts, Flowers, First Kiss

here is a snippet:

At the fair, it was loud: people screaming on the rides, children laughing, and music from everywhere. Sherlock was unsure of where to go, but John already headed purposefully to the highest roller coaster.

“The highest right away, John?”

“Duh. I am not wasting my money on the small ones. This gives just the adrenaline kick you need for the start,” Once again – it was the third time (yes, Sherlock had counted) – John grabbed the taller boy’s hand. Sherlock was pretty sure he would follow John if he jumped off a plane, if he only held his hand. Oh, no. Sherlock realised his crush on John Watson was intensifying with every minute spent together.

“Come on! Look, look at it and tell me this doesn’t look fun!”

Sherlock glanced at the roller coaster, it even had a loop in it. Then his eyes landed back on John again and, yep Crush Intensified. John looked up in the sky, the sun making his eyes sparkle, a childlike look of excitement and fascination on his face.

Still staring at John, Sherlock said, “It looks breathtaking.”

John looked back at him, realised Sherlock was staring at him with an intense look in his eyes and blushed. Was he talking about him or…?

“Hey, you two!” A woman with short purple hair yelled at them. “Get on, love birdies, or you have to take the next ride!”

[tragedry]

I CALL WILDCARD, EVERYTHING IS YOUR CHOICE, RAMBLE MY FRIEND

i will in fact indulge in the rambling anon, thanks!

let's do ashler plus a bunch of random questions cause i cannot be stopped now that i have an excuse to yap about my two pookies!! >:3

3. Are they into PDA? Who initiates most?

nope, but in the times where they're both fine with skin contact, ty would be the one to initiate it most of the time. it would usually be simple touches like holding ashlyn's hand or grazing his knuckle on her arm or face. he also ruffles her hair when he can get away with it!

7. Who's clumsier?

ashlyn, but only when her thought's are pretty loud and she's too distracted to pay attention to where she's walking. thankfully, ty's there to stop her from walking straight to a post.

8. Who is a morning person? Who is a night owl?

ty rises with the sun while ashlyn rises with the moon! this is literally how their morning starts lmao

(i may have spent more than five mins making this meme)

17. Who is more competitive?

both are insanely competitive! they will compete at just about anything they think the other would suck at (but it's all in good fun, plus the winner gets to tell the loser what to do afterwards)

19. What do they fight about most often? (Alternative: what was their biggest fight?)

Alternative: their biggest fight was when ashlyn couldn't stop feeling guilty for what had happened to tyler, so whenever they're in a dangerous situation, she'd take unnecessary risks in order to save him. tyler caller her out for being too reckless, and the argument only intensifies when ashlyn tries to justify her actions.

the argument goes on for a while until ty's managed to for her hand and she finally admits why she's so reckless and desperate to put her own life in danger-- and it's solely cause she didn't want to see him hurt ever again. and ty isn't necessarily comforted by her answer, bc he isn't used to being the one on the receiving end of someone else's sacrifice, but at least he knows now why she did what she did.

in the end, they'll talk it out and find a way to resolve the issue together.

20. Who randomly brings home a stray puppy/kitten to adopt?

ashlyn, but only to nurse the stray back to full health, and then she and tyler will take it to a shelter for adoption.

but it's all good until ashlyn gets too attached to a stray puppy they found one afternoon.......

22. Love languages? How do they get around differences, if any?

'acts of service' is practically hanging above both of their heads asfkhaflash

actions have always spoken louder for them when it comes to professing their affection! a home cooked meal left in ashlyn's fridge when she's too tired to make anything herself, or tyler waking up to find the dishes he still left at the sink already washed and put away.

they will always take each other's load if they can, because it may be heavy, but they are worth it.

24. Sleeping/cuddling positions? (Big spoon, little spoon, etc.)?

ashlyn is little spoon, but it takes a lot of grumbling on her part to finally accept such a role.

39. Do they get along with the other's family? If not, how do they deal with the other's family?

ash and tay are besties through and through, and mariana is very fond of her!

ty is practically the golden boy(friend) in ash's house. he's responsible, no nonesesne when it comes to dating her, and he is always so helpful around the house, and would always visit with a flower for emma and a polite greeting to mike.

plus he cooks!!!

(i think that's it for the otp ask game! thank you all for sending me your ships and asks!)

[danganronpadedication]

DAY 4: DANGANTOBER

Day 4: OTP Ship I'll be so real right now, I wasn't big into fandom culture until I started this blog. I didn't read fanfic (still haven't yet, but I've got a few I have my eye on), I didn't make fanart, I didn't make edits, and most of all, I refused to engage in shipping. Long ago, these four stances lived in harmony.

Then everything changed when the Danganronpa fandom attacked.

There are many different ships that I think have so, so, SO MUCH POTENTIAL. But one ship that has stood out to me since the very beginning, was Sakura and Aoi. Immediately, I really liked Aoi, she seems like such a fun and sweet person, I'd definitely want her as a friend. While it took some time to warm up to Sakura, I also really love her, and the more I found out about her in her FTE's, the more I thought she was awesome.

First of all, why do I think they're cute? Well, first of all, they're bestie goals. They work out together, they have little sleepovers, and they always have each other's backs. When everyone doubted Sakura once she was revealed as the traitor, Aoi was still defending her with everything she had. Sakura reciprocates this too, getting very upset when Aoi gets hurt defending her.

They're ride or dies, for real.

I want them to train together, to wear matching BFF necklaces, go out on morning runs, and eat the most adorable doughnuts while watching Ghibli movies.

Chapter 4 of THH is actually so destroying, because Aoi thought that Sakura (I don't know if I'm allowed to say certain words on here) aliven't herself because the others were being suspicious of her and causing Aoi issues. It's no wonder that Aoi wanted everyone to get the blackened wrong during that trial, she was emotionally wrecked there. The fact that it wasn't even really why Sakura did it, it was just Monokuma being a little shit.

While Sakura isn't talked about a lot in the anime, you can tell that her death still affects Aoi, and how she approaches certain situations. Aoi's still a ride or die, but I feel like it's been intensified, because the other survivors are the people she's the closest to.

Taking it back to a lighter note, because Mod Tsumugi needs reminders that not everyone likes to hear about the sad parts of the games, I think they're absolutely perfect for each other, to me, they're an unbeatable duo. In my heart and mind, they're girlfriends having adorable little dates, dressing up in cute outfits, and cheering for each other during their respective sports.

Now, for a new segment called: Was It Casual When...

SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED

BIG HUG

If you deny it, you're wrong /j

I know Makoto has one of these cakes with Monokuma, but COME ON

They're canon to me, and that's what matters.

[bradshawsbaby]

For the January OTP prompts, #16 for the Bradshaws?

Oh, the Forbidden Love AU! Forgive me for being a total history nerd, but I couldn’t help but make this a Historical AU as well. So please enjoy a little forbidden love during the Revolutionary War!

You were everything he had ever wanted. But he knew he could never have you.

From the moment you had first walked into his family’s general store, the one he and his mother had been running on their own since his father’s untimely death in the French and Indian War when he was just a boy, you had owned Bradley Bradshaw’s heart.

Your mother had been standing at the counter with his, placing an order for more bolts of fabric and cloth than either he or his mother could wrap their heads around. Evidently, the king’s taxes were of no concern to her. She had said your name at that moment, gesturing for you to come stand beside her.

When you lifted your eyes and lowered the fan you’d been genteelly holding in front of your face, Bradley’s chest had tightened instantly. From the way your eyes widened and then quickly darted away from his, he couldn’t help but dare to wonder if perhaps you had experienced a similar reaction.

From that day on, Bradley sought you out everywhere. He noticed when you rode through town in your family’s carriage, the slight smile curving your lips so different from your parents’ stern expressions. He saw when you took a stroll down High Street with your lady’s maid, laughing in delight at the sight of children playing in the street instead of turning up your nose the way the other noble ladies did. His heart nearly ceased to beat whenever you stepped inside his store, the tiny bell that tolled the sound of a customer somehow sounding so much brighter when you arrived.

At first he thought he was imagining it, the growing frequency of your trips to the general store. It was a flight of fancy on his part, nothing more. Your eyes weren’t seeking him out the way he thought they were. You weren’t lingering longer and longer each day, hesitating over purchases just to remain in the store a moment or two more.

But then he started to notice the way you would kindly ask your lady’s maid to run an errand or fetch something for you—something that always conveniently took her out of the store and left you on your own for a few precious moments. And then your eyes would trail around the room until they settled on his face, and you would smile.

That smile could convince a man to give up anything, Bradley was sure of it.

With each visit, he and you started to converse more and more, sharing pleasantries and even small jokes from time to time. Making you laugh felt like the single greatest accomplishment of his life.

If he had to pinpoint the exact moment he fell in love with you, it would have to be the day he walked into the store after making a delivery to find you and his mother laughing together, chatting easily as ladies do. His mother, who he loved more than anything, hadn’t had an easy life and laughter hadn’t come as easily to her in the wake of his father’s death. Seeing her light up and sparkle in your presence had only solidified Bradley’s belief that you were a magnificent jewel among women, rare and special.

He would never forget the jolt that shocked his body the first time he took your hand in his, helping to lift you up into your carriage after you’d made a number of large purchases. The warmth that spread through him was only intensified by the smile you sent his way as you waved goodbye, your carriage trundling off towards home.

“Bradley,” his mother murmured at his shoulder as he stared after you. “You have to be careful.”

He knew what she meant without having to ask.

You were everything he had ever wanted. But he knew he could never have you.

Patriot boys training with the Continental Army didn’t marry the beautiful daughters of Loyalist admirals in His Majesty’s Royal Navy.
