#.....perhaps it isn't actually that deep lmfao

[teenagefeeling]

this is suuuuch a specific thing but it takes everything in me not to make fun of people to their faces when they have cutesey names for their parents in their phones. i know you have never once called her "mothership" in conversation come the fuck on

[mazeinthemiroh]

In desperate need of how SKZ would spoil their girlfriends and the gifts they’d get for them like…I feel like lixie’s love language is gift giving so he’s the type to drop half his paycheck on his s/o😩✋🏾

how stray kids would spoil their s/o

genre: fluff

warnings: none

please like and reblog if you enjoy! feel free to request anything <3

bangchan

not only will channie spoil you

he will literally refuse you buying ANYTHING

i just keep thinking of that one clip when he and felix were arguing about who got to pay for stuff at the convenience store... oh the chaos...

like he's so petty about it but it's like a need for him

he needs to buy you stuff

let him buy you stuff!!!

it's just a tendency for him. ingrained in his personality for sure; not something he can control

lee know

he honestly doesn't really think about it at all

in his mind, what's his is your

you want his money? take his freaking money lmfao

spoiling you and treating you to things comes as second nature to him and something he doesn't take much consideration to

it just feels right to buy you stuff you want, and he doesn't give it a second thought tbh

it's just really not that deep to him 🤷

changbin

this man has his wallet out permanently istg

just waiting to pay for things, credit card ready to swipe asap

he's always buying you stuff

just because

like there is no reason for it

maybe he likes being a provider, sure. or perhaps he likes you depending on him to an extent

idk whatever is going through this man's brain, i just think it's in his nature to want to spoil his loved ones

hyunjin

hyunne likes indulging your hobbies

if you are a bookworm, for instance, he will spend not only his money but his time carefully picking out books for you to enjoy

or if you are an artist like him, he will buy you all sorts of paints and pencils and sketchpads. you name it, he's getting you it!

also he has expensive taste, so when he wants to get you a fancy gift he is not stingy with that credit card of his

with him, if he's in love, why should he limit that love? if one way to show love is to get something you've been wanting for ages, why shouldn't he?

han

he would much rather he spend money on you than the other way round

not for traditional reasons or anything like that. more that he feels guilty, like he's not giving enough

he's a very generous soul but sometimes in relationships, he likes to just sit back and relax

and then he feels like he's not putting enough effort in so he over-compensates by spending a tone load of money on you

you reassure him that he is fine the way he is and doesn't have to do that but now it's become a habit he very much enjoys

felix

you are so incredibly right anon

i mean for felix is feel like all love languages fit him because he is basically the human incarnate of love but yeah

gift giving is one of them

felix loves buying gifts i know i have said this so many times in every single felix related content i write but he just can't stop buying stuff for other people

he loves spending money in general, so what better way to do that than spending money on gifts for the person he loves most?

seungmin

he's quite sensible with his money and only usually really buys something if he needs it

but spending money on you is a bit of a different story

he doesn't limit himself nor does he ask if you actually need that item you've been wanting to be. if you want it, you got it.

will literally ask for your wishlist and buy you everything off it, i'm not exaggerating

he's not one to beat around the bush, our seungmin! he goes straight to the point, as he should 💅

jeongin

jeongin is a reallyyyy good gift-buyer

he's perfectly balanced, really. he likes getting you gifts here and there, some of them are personal and others are expensive. he likes to get both kinds of gifts so that your heart is touched but also you get something a little fancy from him too <33

much like felix, he likes spending his money. and he feels he isn't being wasteful with it when he is buying you stuff because it makes you super happy aww

Let’s discuss vampire Billy 🦇

He tries to take out a vampire who’s been terrorizing a town (there’s actually an old movie called “Billy the Kid vs Dracula”) but instead is turned himself. He feeds off the many cattle available in the West so that he doesn’t need to hunt people. Or, if he can’t survive without human blood, he wanders the countryside at night, feeding off campers he finds, being careful only to take a little from them. Maybe another vampire shows him a bordello where women are ready and willing to feed vampires. Weirdly enough, I think being a vampire would make him less dangerous. He’d be nearly impossible to kill so he wouldn’t have to fight for his life so much. He’d be stronger and faster than any human. He couldn’t be locked up because he can just disappear and reappear and walk through walls.

What do you think? And what do you think he’d look like as a vampire?

oh my God this is all so well said idek what to add lmfao

The feeding off cattle bit is interesting to me, because I feel like he'd be reading the paper or a friend would tell him about this mysterious animal killing the livestock but not eating their flesh, just sucking them dry of blood, and this man is sweating bullets like "Oh that's so weird wtf"

And with feeding off campers and wanderers, he'd feel so guilty. Like, awful. He'd sit down with them, chat a while, just try and be as friendly as possible and tell them he's also just passing through. And its plausible, his horse is tied up to a nearby tree, because no matter how fast he is, he'd still prefer a slow, scenic ride. He'd wait until they fell asleep, off of drinking or off of exhaustion, and take absolutely as little as possible, just enough to get him through the next day, just until he finds the next town.

I feel like he'd look about the same as a vampire? paler, obviously, but I do think his eyes would be that much bluer. Just absolutely striking, dare say inhuman, but he shrugs off each compliment with a shy smile.

How I think him and you'd meet is a farmer's daughter situation. You're sitting on the porch, you can't sleep well, it's perhaps midnight when you see a figure moving towards the pen your father lets the cattle and sheep graze in. Of course you've heard of the thing that's been sucking cattle dry, a chupacabra, a chimera, something evil. And, being a farm a ways away from town in the deep west, you rush inside for the shotgun, finding your way out to the barn with your chemise and bloomers, confronting the man as he jumps the fence. His blue eyes are literally inhumanely beautiful, especially so wide with surprise at a girl pointing a shotgun at him. He isn't afraid. But he's absolutely intrigued.

[yuurivoice]

The question about how you write characters reminded me of a question I'd been meaning to ask you for a minute!!! I've noticed almost all the boys have veryyyy distinct diction, which I thought was really cool. It's not just a difference in voice or accent. This was first super obvious to me with the Auron penthouse tour audio when I knew just a moment before he said it, that he'd describe something as "preposterous."

SO my question is how do you do it + maintain it? And is there ever a point where it comes subconscious as your writing a character's script?

That's something I've become more and more conscious of as I've added characters and sometimes it's not the easiest thing! Sometimes I actually think it's a weak point of mine I need to focus on getting better at and am actively conscious of as I'm writing nowadays.

We run into the "creative vs. worker" situation I'm in where as much as I want to be really good about that sort of thing, sometimes I just need to get the fucking work done if I wanna eat so I better stow my ego and perfectionism and trust that it's fine and I'll get another crack at doing a better job of it next time around. There are times where I'll be deep into a recording session, second guess myself, and want to re-write or do another take of the WHOLE THING and it's like...no dude we gotta go. lol

Familiarity with characters matters a ton. I think I did a great job with the most recent Faust stuff, where he felt really unique among the roster of boys. His speech, mannerisms, and character in general gets me further away from what I'm familiar with. I knew it was something I wanted to nail with him, and I think just being aware helped a ton as I worked through it.

Alphonse and Charlie suffer from my unbearable enjoyment of having that accent say big words. It's just fuckin funny to me and will never not get me to giggle, even if it shouldn't really be in their everyday vernacular. Charlie has the added lore excuse of being lowkey smart (Jessie mentions he should have stayed in school) and being Auron's beta reader. Alphonse isn't necessarily well read, but he knows words. Perhaps too many at times, but it's something I'm aware of.

Auron is right in the sweet spot, him being a bit arrogant + desperately romantic allows me to go directions that don't necessarily fit with the rest of the roster.

Seth is similar in that the southern sweetheart approach opens up its own language opportunities.

Finn is one that I'm still playing with. I like when he gets poetic and thoughtful. I think the sweet spot with him was in the hiking/bug audio. Shoutout to that commissioner btw, because I really tucked some lore in that thing years ago. He gets the most "dreamy" of the lot, I think? He romanticizes the mundane the most, and I don't think that was even a conscious choice at first.

As I tackle Echoes and other projects that involve more characters and variety I'm definitely becoming more and more aware of my habits. I actually think that aside from "cook with this mf narrative", ensuring that my individual character voices are distinct and strong is priority number one in the writing room for me right now.

Saying ALL OF THAT to say thank you for thinking that, I'm a tough critic when it comes to myself, but if I've managed to make someone think I'm decent at what I've identified as a weakness, I can at least know that I don't have to beat myself up over it lmfao.

[beanghostprincess]

Omg you like SatoSugu and Soukoku too? I’ve GOTTA hear your thoughts on them

If I start talking about my relationship with these two ships I might actually end up sobbing while I write this- But basically, both Soukoku and Satosugu are really important to me because the whole dynamic of "best friends to enemies who still have feelings for each other" reminds me of something that happened to me with my former best friend. Which is, uh, not pleasant to talk about but we had a very nasty break up and I think it's a very common experience. Somebody said something once (in my post about Shuggy making more sense if they were girls) about these ships always resembling friendships between sapphics that don't know they're sapphics yet, which changed my whole view on these three ships completely because oh lord, that person was so damn right. Because it's the possessiveness of it all, you know? Like- Being close to your best friend, so much it hurts to see them with other people and so much it's frightening to think about a world without them. You have so many feelings about this person that you can't quite place and you can't put a name to, but it's more than a friendship and it's not romantic love either. And it makes more sense being a closeted sapphic because you don't accept it might probably be love until the friendship ends in a very nasty and toxic way and then you keep resenting that person forever.

I am kind of traumadumping here, lmfao, but basically I really like these three ships because they treat this dynamic in very different ways and I am a sucker for them. The angst is immaculate and I'll never get tired of them.

I like Soukoku for a lot of reasons, BSD being my favorite manga of all time and everything. Dazai meets Chuuya when he doesn't have any reason to live but keeps working for the mafia nevertheless because Chuuya is interesting enough to keep being alive. Because perhaps that's what Dazai has been looking for. And Chuuya, well- He has mixed feelings for Dazai but his loyalty is unmatched and that's both his best and worst trait (we see that constantly, poor boy). Dazai is still, after everything, his partner. They need each other, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They're basically canonically soulmates, at this point, and you don't even need to ship them to acknowledge it because it's just that obvious. Chuuya is the only one able to keep Dazai wanting to live and Dazai is quite literally the only one with the ability to stop Chuuya from losing control. They really are made for each other. It makes me go completely insane. The whole thing about Chuuya not being a human but being the most human and empathetic person of the mafia, and Dazai saying he isn't worthy of being called human but being physically one? That's just insane. And I could talk for hours about them and write a deeper analysis of their relationship, but I'd never finish this post, then.

Then, Satosugu. They make me equally insane. They were best friends. They were so damn close. And Gojo loved him so much that he couldn't stop Geto when he turned his back on him and walked away to become what he is now. It's just so heartbreaking, losing someone like that and all of a sudden. We see Geto losing himself over the years and falling into desperation and emptiness and Gojo not noticing until it's just too late to do anything. That's Gojo's weak spot. He's the most powerful sorcerer and dude can't fight his ex best friend because "there's no curse more twisted than love". That fucked me up completely, honestly. Gojo is such a complex character, growing up so quickly and with so many expectations, not being able to enjoy his teenage years either because they stole them from him like this. And Geto ending up all alone too, turning into just a vessel of vengeance. Like- Shit is too deep to explain it in just a tumblr post, but they make me go insane.

And Shuggy is basically the same thing but at least these two have the chance to make up and reunite at some point. Shuggy is the one that feels more realistic to me, honestly, because it genuinely feels only like a normal falling out between best friends (that definitely were something more) rather than this complicated poetic mix of metaphors and poems. These two were just kids when all of this happened, too, it makes me so ill. But I have a whole post talking about Shuggy too, so I don't think I need to explain why I like them.

TL;DR: These ships are definitely for the sapphics who had THAT best friend and had very strong feelings toward them but didn't know why, and years after a very nasty break up that still haunts them to this day they realized it was a bit more than just a friendship.

4.7 archon quest live react utc!

okay I started this a little while after starting the quest but I'm talking to atossa now

my original theory was the missing guy was dain but this dude has lived in the village for ages so it can't be LOL

as usual ty to anyone who bothered to read through the brain vomit LOL ily <3 im gonna go uh. cry a lot now, goodbye 👋

[malklavian]

just me being salty about new ass-tarion content

what the fuck did they do with ass-cended ass-tarion's new kisses, lmfao. why does the pc look like they're gonna piss themselves in fear when he grabs them and pushes them around, when they should look delirious with horniness and delighted at being his lil b*tch, which they willingly agreed to be. it's like they're trying to convey some bee dee ass em stuff but also actual abuse? but not knowing how to handle it. maybe cuz they're taking on too much at once. it's like they don't even know what they think about ass tarion because yes, that's a very dark route in his romance, but if you as a creator don't know how you feel about it then perhaps just leave it be and think about it some more, don't force it just cause he's popular and fans are thirsty for new ass tarion shit.

like if you're gonna paint it as the EVIL MUAHAHA route for him then what the hell are you trying to convey by making it seem like pc is suffering at his hand by his treatment? by even making this romance route an actual option and actively creating new content for it? trying to teach us a lesson about the cycle of abuse or something? in that case i'm not really feeling it. like, bitch i'm not here to get educated, i'm here to be evil and deranged and toxic with my garbage vampire boyfriend whom i helped ascend by sacrificing 7000 innocent souls, whom i WILLINGLY turned into a sadistic cunt, whom i WILLINGLY follow and choose to love or lust for or whatever, despite having many opportunities to back out. what do you think i am, STUPID? that i thought i could fix him by letting him take part in an ancient ritual to turn him into the most powerful vampire that has ever existed? or what??? especially with an evil durge. dear god. do i even need to explain why. i just don't understand how durge can be canonically into stuff like n3crophilia but they shrivel up like a delicate flower when some vampire pretty boy chokes them a little. not to mention that durge could easily kill him and crush him into fine vampire dust and snort it off a corpse's fucking bellybutton if so they pleased, like hello? this is durge we're talking about? ass-tarion's depravity is NOTHING compared to durge's depravity, lbr. and ass-tarion might be a little cocky now that he's powerful, but he isn't THAT stupid to act too out of line, especially when he isn't even aware of all the possible ways to use his new powers.

anyway... i just think this has a lot of potential and it's not being properly handled. i think they're scared of sending out the wrong message with this route of his romance, but i think people who pursue it are mostly the kind who feels the same way i do. those who think ass-cended ass-tarion is too hardcore would probably back out as soon as he proudly flaunts how evil he has become. i hope they fix it eventually. if they're gonna keep this romance in, they should just go balls deep and embrace how fucked up it is instead of acting coy about it... but then again this game is so damn popular and they're under so much scrutiny, i don't terribly hold it against them. if this game didn't blow up they'd have much more artistic freedom

『midnight, midsummer』 — two

— pairing: shoto x reader — tags: university au, urban fantasy au, selkie shoto, accidental marriage (lmfao), faerie antics, 18+, hints and allusions to some trauma mc has — wc: 3.5k — notes: forgot to mention that this was inspired by howtobangyourmonster's prompt, which lit a fire under my ass like nothing else. this isn't proofread, we die like men also i lied before this is probably going to be closer to 8 parts or maybe ten sorry i'm a mess

“I have no intention of forcing you into anything,” Shoto says evenly, expression neutral despite the roiling depths of his mismatched eyes. He seems to hesitate slightly before he continues. “Let me propose something, then. A bargain.” Your eyebrows shoot up before you’re able to stop them. Shoto is offering to enter a faerie bargain with you? As though he can see the cogs turning in your head, the corner of his lips lifts in a half smile. He breathes in deeply, closing his eyes a moment before he lets the air go and meets your gaze once more. “If you find that you do not have any feelings for me at all, come Midsummer’s Eve, then I will dissolve this marriage and leave you be.”

prev. | masterlist | next

“What…?” Your heart appears to skip a beat, voice coming out light and breathy. He clears his throat.

He opens the box, revealing a ring with glimmering, clear jewels woven around a natural lavender pearl. Your mouth drops open at the sight, heart tipping into a stunned gallop. He appears somewhat bashful, pink tinging the honey-hued skin of his cheeks.

“I thought we should get married by human standards, as well. It’s nice to properly meet you, wife.”

//

You think that perhaps, your brain has finally fully short-circuited. There’s not a single thought to be found bouncing around up there.

“Uh, I’m… I’m sorry — what?” Your mouth kicks into gear before your brain does, which is a particularly risky development for you.

He takes your flabbergasted response in stride, almost like he’d expected it. Considering he knows you’re human, he probably did. Tentatively, he takes a probing step forward, expression soft as he holds the ring out.

“Like I said,” he begins, blinking at you. “I thought we should get married by human standards, too. So, I procured a ring.”

“No, no, no — wait just a second, hold up.” You lift your hands, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath before you continue. It does nothing to soothe the wild drumbeat of your heart against the confines of your chest. “I think… that you most definitely have the wrong person.”

“I don’t,” he says simply, corners of his mouth curling in the slightest smile. It causes whatever coherent thoughts that managed to assemble in your brain to unravel immediately.

“Ok, but you do,” you say, sounding like a child who is running out of comebacks in an argument. “I might have knocked your coat off the other day, but I don’t actually know you.”

He hums in acknowledgement, closing his eyes and nodding once. “You’re right, wife. Let me introduce myself: I’m Shoto.”

He peeks an eye open, the lure of his gaze almost too much for you to handle. “Now you know me.”

“You don’t even know my name!” you burst, running out of rebuttals. You feel like you’re dancing in circles.

He tilts his head, two-toned locks slipping over his forehead a she does so. “What is it?”

You’re so flustered that, like the idiot you are, in a moment of absolute head-empty-no-thoughts, you actually tell him your name. You then freeze. “No, ok wait–”

He says your name like he’s trying it out, weighing the way it rolls from his tongue. Your face heats up like you’ve just stepped into an industrial oven. What the fuck is happening?

“Look, I’m not sure who you have me mixed up with, but I’m not married to anyone and I’m pretty sure I’d remember if I tied the knot with someone who has a face like yours—“

“I’m a selkie,” he informs you abruptly before you can dig your hole even deeper, eyes glimmering despite his neutral expression. He shoves his free hand into the pocket of his slacks, and you wonder why for a moment before you see the slight jiggle of his leg. He’s nervous. “When you knocked my coat and picked it up, you essentially ‘took’ it. Then, you gave it back. By the standards of my clan, we are now, uh, wedded…”

You have a feeling that he’s being sincere, but there is something niggling at the back of your mind that makes you feel like he’s not telling you everything.You’re not exactly in a position where you want to hear it, though, so quickly banish that feeling before it takes root.

You have no idea what you’re meant to do in this situation. You want to remain levelheaded, neutral, but there is a familiar sensation beginning to crawl up your throat, shortening your breath, that you never wanted to feel again. You need to leave.

“Okay, look, you’re cute and all, but this… I can’t… I’m not your wife. You really have the wrong person…” Your heartbeat has begun to quicken, for a different reason this time, and it suddenly feels very claustrophobic between the two looming campus buildings. Your skin itches and your stomach roils. “You’re mistaken.”

You don’t even realise you’ve begun to back away, until you see his gaze flick to your feet. He doesn’t move to follow, seeming to sense that there is something deeper behind your peculiar reaction. It makes you feel bad, but right now the only thing blaring out like a foghorn in your brain is ‘go, go, go’. You shake your head, hands held up in apology, and then turn and make a quick escape.

You don’t need to glance over your shoulder to know that he hasn’t followed you.

//

No matter how much time passes, and however many times you think you’ve finally gotten over a specific experience, there always seems to be some shred of unprocessed emotion and trauma left to deal with.

When you return home your uncle is gone, but his presence is replaced by a guest you’re actually pretty glad to see.

Yu is a young-looking woman who, like your uncle, refuses to admit her age to you. Long platinum curls spill over her shoulders where she stands in the middle of the kitchen, eyes bright and focused on the task at hand — which currently looks to be the careful cutting of a two-tier chocolate cake.

She’s tall and graceful, though you’d almost never guess that she is half giantess. The other half is some shifter gene that she refuses to spill to you no matter how many times you question her. A lot about her appearance is quite deceptive, you muse. For example, you’d never know from looking at her the incredible lung capacity she has.

“Hey, Yu.”

“HEAVENS to the fucking BETSY! Child, do you want to deal with a dead body?!”

It’s always fun to scare her like this, because when startled she loses all concept of volume control and jumps about two feet in the air. It is truly any pranksters wet dream.

“No thanks,” you answer, trying to make the smile on your face as convincing as possible a smile onto your face. You don’t really want to deal with any questions right now, because you have no idea how you would even answer any of them. You still don’t know what the fuck just happened. It hasn’t even been half an hour.

Yu rolls her eyes, going back to the cake in front of her.

“You ruined the surprise,” she whines, tacking on a huff for good measure. She slips the flat of the knife under a piece and moves it to a plate. “I brought cake to celebrate the one month anniversary of you being here!”

You blink at her, the suffocating feeling in your chest shrinking to make way for a blossom of warmth. That’s… actually really nice of her. Though, you’re not sure why you’re surprised. You’ve known her from all the times you’ve visited your uncle and vice versa, since she’s practically attached to him by the hip. She is his self-proclaimed familiar, though as mentioned before she won’t tell you what kind of animal she can turn into. There doesn’t seem to be an actual reason for her refusal to tell you – your personal theory is that she just likes teasing you.

“Dude, you’re cutting the cake in the middle of the kitchen, right in the open.” You laugh, and she huffs with a small smile. She can’t seem to argue with that. Plate in hand, she turns and delivers it into your hold. As she does so, her eyes do a cursory once-over of your form, and she halts in her movements.

“Is everything okay, toots?”

Having begun drooling at the rich smell of chocolate emanating from the cake in your hands, her question startles you.

“Fine! I’m fine. Just…” you sigh, taking a seat at the bench and dropping your bag on the ground by the stool legs. “Just tired.”

Yu hums, leaning her hip against the bench as she peers at you shrewdly. “The old man did mention you were still having some sleeping issues…”

She hands you a small spoon as she weighs her next words. “… Is it about that, still?”

You freeze, spoon midway to your mouth. You probably should have known better than to think that Yu wouldn’t notice anything. She’s practically a big sister to you at this point. The faint ticking of the kitchen clock drifts into the air as you consider how to respond.

She is one of the only other people to know about it, and one of the ones who actually helped you deal with it… you owe her the honesty.

“Well… yes, and no.” You place the spoon down, the metal sliding noisily against the ceramic plate. The poor cake piece is on the receiving end of your frown. “I thought I was over it, but now I’m beginning to think maybe I’m not, just yet.”

“You know you don’t have to speedrun the healing process,” Yu says, giving you a pointed look. “In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they don’t recommend doing.”

Your hand bunches in the material of your pants, a frustrated huff leaving you before you can stop it. You wish your eyes didn’t burn every time you have to talk about this.

“I know,” you admit quietly, using your other hand to push a section of cake around with the spoon. “But I just… I feel like the longer I take to get over it, the more power he has over me for that time. I… I hate that, I don’t want him to have that power. I don’t want him to have anything over me, ever again.”

“He doesn’t,” Yu says softly, her words firm despite her tone. “And I know that you know this, but I feel like I have to say it anyway.”

You look up, catching her determined eyes.

“Not only is he being dealt with via the human legal system, but your uncle also made sure he wouldn’t ever be able to show his face before you ever again.” She leans forward, flicking your nose. “In a sense, it’s really you that has power over him.”

Rubbing your nose, you consider her words. She’s right, you know it, but still… in this moment, you can’t help the way that you feel. If speedrunning the healing process was actually an option, you definitely would have done it.

It’s not even the actual events that have scarred you so, more like the ‘what if’s and the possibility of what could have happened. Those are what terrify you. If you hadn’t gotten out, if you hadn’t had your uncle and Yu as an option…

Those thoughts are what prompt your nightly struggle with sleep.

“You’re right,” you say, to appease her if nothing else. “It’s not like I’m scared of him, just… I don’t ever want to be in that situation, feeling like that, ever again.”

I’m terrified of being trapped again.

It remains unsaid, the words stuck in your throat and refusing to budge, but Yu seems to pick up on what you mean nonetheless. She rounds the counter, coming towards you. For a moment, you think she might be about to embrace you. Instead, she slings an arm around your neck and gives you a noogie. Immediately, you erupt into a whine and struggle to slip out of her grip.

“Don’t worry, toots. Anyone wanting to do you harm is going to have to go through me and your uncle, first.”

You give up your attempts to escape her hold and accept her rough affections. Stupid supernaturals and their stupid crazy strength.

…

You do feel a little better, though.

//

A part of you feels like the events of the other day were nothing but a fever dream.

The rest of you, however, is painfully aware of the fact that they weren’t. When you enter campus next, you’re not sure what the correct course of action is regarding the selkie that seems convinced you’re now wedded.

Of course, considering the nature of this city and the province you’re in, you’re sure he is being completely serious. It probably is a marriage ritual for selkie, since their coats are so important to them and so interwoven with their magic. It’s just, you’re having a hard time believing that you simply returning his coat to him makes you his bride. Surely it’s a little more complicated than that?

Regardless, you feel that you owe him an apology for fleeing the scene like you did. Given the situation, what other choice did he have but to approach you? You can’t blame him for that. It’s not his fault either that your own personal experiences affected the way you responded. He isn’t to blame for what someone else did to you.

Despite your noble intentions to apologise when you see him next, your body seems hell bent on doing the exact opposite of what you want.

In the morning, from the corner of your eye, you catch him striding into the food court, presumably for breakfast — and before you can even blink, your feet have turned you around and proceeded to carry you in the opposite direction. It’s like they’re possessed, and you don’t stop moving until you’re well out of sight.

You’re left blinking in confusion when you halt around the other side of the building. Stupid, what are you doing? Your coffee is back there! What if they call your name out and someone else takes it while your gone?! Embarrassed, you turn and make your way back to the food court for the valuable package you left behind. When you return, he is nowhere to be seen, and you snatch your coffee in a hurry before bolting off to your tutorial.

By the time you make it to your third class of the day, a lecture for a psychology elective you decided to take on a whim, you’re ridiculously embarrassed. You can no longer count on only one hand the amount of times you’ve seen him and then turned tail today. Why are you acting like this! You’re not trying to avoid him, you swear! It’s just that every time you see him (and a few of the times that he sees you first and begins to walk over) your body reacts before your brain can stop it, and you flee.

This is especially outrageous, because for the entirety of your life you’ve almost always chosen fight over flight.

“Why do you look like you’re about to throw up? You alright?”

Having taken a random seat in the back of the lecture hall, you’re surprised that you actually managed to find a seat next to your friend without even searching for one.

“When did you get there?” you ask, avoiding his question.

“We’ve been here the whole time!” It’s a different voice that pipes up next, and a familiar grinning face leans out one seat over. “Hitoshi is right, though, are you okay? You seem distracted.”

Izuku is always a little too in tune with the inner workings of your brain for your comfort. You feel like Hitoshi has a good idea of what’s going on up there too, but he’s far less forthcoming about letting you know. Quite courteous of him, really.

“This is just my face,” you say, deadpan. “Sorry if it offends you.”

Hitoshi snorts, but Izuku scrabbles to apologise. He’s a little more fun to tease than most. You wouldn’t expect his personality, knowing which particular creature of the night he takes after.

Given the occupants of this city, there is an unsurprising amount of half-and-half offspring running around. Izuku and Hitoshi are great examples, considering they’re both part incubus, courtesy of their paternal genes. Hitoshi’s mother is a fox spirit (kitsune or gumiho, you’ve yet to find out) on the other hand, and Izuku’s is a dryad who actually takes care of a lot of the city’s park lands. Interesting combinations, for sure.

Actually, contrary to the evidence saying otherwise, it’s actually quite rare to have a true fifty-fifty child. More often than not, one part of the genetics is much stronger than the other and offspring will tend to take after one parent in particular. You suppose you’re quite lucky to know two of the resident halfies who retained qualities of both parents.

“I’m kidding, Izuku.” You put him out of his misery before he can implode. “I just have a lot on my mind. Thanks for asking, though.”

The lecturer enters the room from the bottom of the hall, dimming the lights slightly as he does so. Izuku whispers out a response before he loses the chance, “No problem. If you need anything, just let me know.”

You nod, and the three of you go about pulling out your respective note-taking materials. The lecture goes quickly, the content more interesting than most, and by the time the lights come back on you’re still catching up on the last few lines of your notes. Hitoshi yawns next to you, packing his tablet away and stretching his arms above his head leisurely.

Izuku is still scribbling even after you finish and pack your own notes away, as dedicated of a student as ever. You stand in your place, students filtering past you up the lane-way as they flood out of the room. You’re happy to wait until the flow stops, since you’re not particularly fond of shoving your way through a crowd – especially when you don’t know who, or rather what, you’ll be shoving against.

A tickle against your neck startles you from your thoughts, head whipping around to find a pensive-looking Hitoshi leaning close. It was probably his hair that tickled you, that shit is untameable.

“You smell different,” he comments, dark periwinkle eyes unfocused as he ruminates on the observation. “Not in a bad way, but, hmm… you’re human, your scent shouldn’t change like that.”

You’re absolutely mortified. When Hitoshi zones back in to the moment and catches the horrified look on your face, he barks a laugh.

“Are you telling me,” you manage to say without faltering, eyes wide. “That this whole time, every time you see me… you’ve been able to smell me?!”

He shrugs, a sly smile beginning to curl his lips. “Well, yeah. You can’t smell us?”

“No?!” you lean back, hugging your bag to your chest. This is the worst news you’ve received so far. What the fuck.

Hitoshi hums in thought, Izuku looking up from his notes as he catches the tail end of the conversation.

“Don’t worry,” he supplies helpfully, freckled cheeks bunching as he smiles. “You always smell really nice. Especially since you changed perfumes. This newer one suits your natural scent much better.”

You want to throw yourself down the lecture hall stairs. In fact, you begin to turn in that direction to see if it’s a very reasonable course of action.

“Izuku, I don’t think that’s helping,” you hear Hitoshi say, attempting to halt your friend before he digs his hole any deeper. Anything else he says after that is lost to the void between your ears, because your eyes have caught sight of something a little more pressing.

A familiar head of two-toned hair and enchanting mismatched eyes is making its way at a leisurely pace up the stairs, gaze on the floor. He is only a handful of rows away. Great, a part of you, the reasonable part, thinks. Now you can apologise.

Except apparently the rest of you isn’t quite ready to do so.

“Wow, would you look at the time!” you say suddenly, spinning and grabbing Hitoshi by the shoulders as you worm your way past him and Izuku, making a beeline for the stairs on the other side of the seats to where you were sitting. “Gotta blast, guys. My next class starts in a few minutes. I’ll see you later!”

And then you’re bolting from the room, possessions clutched tight to your chest. As you reach the doorway, you can’t help but throw a glance over your shoulder. Shoto has stopped on the stairs, apparently having finally caught sight of you as you departed. You can’t read finer details of the look on his face, but you could swear you see his expression fall ever so slightly. Guilt takes you by the lungs, weighing them down as you continue on your way out.

Has he always been in this class? It’s likely, you’re not exactly the most aware of your surroundings when it comes to big lectures like these — case in point being the fact that you just somehow managed to sit next to your friends without even knowing they were there.

You’re disappointed in yourself. Since when were you such a coward? You’re nervous, sure – you’ve got the butterflies to prove it. But running away? Again? You’re better than this.

At least, you like to think you are.

You head to your next class, trying desperately not to think about the look on the poor selkie’s face as you fled the room. The chasm of guilt in your chest is enough as it is. For the entirety of the lesson, you fail in your efforts of redirecting your thoughts.

When you return home, there is something sitting on the doorstep. A familiar box, and a small, wrapped and potted orchid.

I'm legally obligated to ask if you think a foursome ever happens in the collegiate au, and if so, how many times gjhjhh ~ blackhannet anon

Ed and Jack have the exact same kind of arrangement that Jack does with employment. They hook up whenever either one of them doesn't have someone better. (This is my headcanon for how their relationship works in canon as well.)

However! In canon via sailing under Hornigold and here via grad school, Ed and Jack are trauma bonded. So there are these weird, complicated, somewhat dysfunctional feelings there. But in this version of them it gets to be a little bit less fraught, owing to the fact that there isn't the pressure to kill (or appear to kill, as it were) to survive lmfao. They're fighting for honor(s) and sanity, not their literal lives. So because of that there's room for their connection to get even weirder and more complicated, but slightly less dysfunctional kasfks.

All that to say, they kind of do have feelings for each other. They're not In Love TM. But if they "had" to, for whatever reason, begin conducting a solely platonic relationship they would be pretty unhappy about that. (They don't know this yet.)

Ed's relationship with Izzy is and changes in basically the same way. The basis is the same. Ed is practically the only person on earth who Gets Izzy, who actually likes him, who genuinely wants him around (or at least did until Stede came around). And Izzy is practically the only person on earth who Ed feels confident has his back. Loyalty is a fickle, conditional thing - from anybody but Izzy. Oh, and they are in deep, deep aromantic love with each other rip. (All of this is true in canon.)

But because the stakes are lower and the violence is less (not nonexistent, please note) in this version, they are able to be a little bit less crazy about it. Ed can say out loud that he appreciates Izzy's friendship. Izzy doesn't have to kill for Ed. When they have a fight there are fisticuffs rather than forced autocannibalism. You know. When Stede comes in and upends everything, Izzy is hurt and jealous and feels neglected etc. He feels like his only friend is being taken away from him, yes, but not his life and safety and identity.

For Ed's part re: Izzy. He just gets really caught up with this whole new thing with Stede, because it is wholly new. Romance! Hey, it's real! And Stede himself is wild as a person. So pretty much all of the rest of Ed's life falls to the wayside in the fairytale period of first meeting and falling for Stede. But that is a shortcoming in Ed's behavior, not necessarily an expression of how he really feels about Izzy (or Jack).

Now. Stede genuinely dislikes Jack, and Jack doesn't exactly like Stede on a personal level but he does think he's funny and wild. Someone he'd love to go toe-to-toe with for the foreseeable future.

Izzy genuinely dislikes Stede, and Stede doesn't exactly like Izzy on a personal level but he does think he's cool and smart. Someone he can't help but respect and perhaps even admire. And Ed loves him, so he's also insatiably curious about why that is. He wants to be In The Know about loving Izzy kjaslkfjks.

Jack and Izzy both don't like each other, but neither of them is particularly threatened by the other so nobody really cares whlsfhs. They have fucked just because Jack is so uniquely talented at goading people into shit. The only part of Izzy that regrets it is his ego. It continues to happen. It never stops bruising Izzy's ego.

Jack and Stede fuck for exactly the same reason as Izzy. This also bruises Stede's ego. It happens before Stede gets with Ed, and unlike with Izzy it does seem like it will only happen the one time. Once Stede gets with Ed he's much more difficult to goad, and Jack hasn't learned the new tricks yet if he ever will. Stede is still curious about Izzy, but it's an insignificant low simmer of interest until he realizes that Ed hasn't himself lost interest in Izzy. After which realization of course, Stede's interest in Izzy is not only renewed but stoked higher.

Meanwhile, Jack no longer has to goad Izzy into having sex with him because Izzy is being goaded elsewhere - either unknowingly by Stede or by his own damn self. It is, in fact, Jack who suggests (to Izzy) that the three of them should get together. It's Jack who says, hey dumbass, you know there are other kinds of non-platonic love that aren't expressly romantic, right? And Izzy says no fuck you what are you talking about. Asshole. And Jack rolls his eyes and sets up Ed and Izzy and takes it upon himself to distract Stede so the two of them can have a lovely date where they either clear the air or bone down, with instructions left with Izzy to only do the one that seems the most effective not the one that is easiest. Izzy tells him to choke, but takes the advice despite himself.

Jack attempts to fuck Stede again during Ed and Izzy's date, but fails. He has to come up with increasingly ludicrous ways to keep Stede away from home. Hijinks, and such.

The Blackhanneting Strikes.

Jack gets to have a brand new experience of being happy for someone else for having something he doesn't have, which in turn forces him to recognize that he wants it. In a thrilling plot twist, he does not try to insert himself or fuck it up for them. He has a brief identity crisis because of this. Is he... nice? Perhaps even (🤢) generous (🤮)?? He tests the hypothesis and of course the results are a pretty clear 'No' lmfao. He documents his findings and uses them to secure gainful employment (for now).

Everything is going great, everything is fine. Stede gets his second honorary doctorate and begins his study into non-monogamy (in homosexual human males aged 45 to 60, again totally objective). He has gradually become In The Know about loving Izzy, and has set out to prove to Izzy in terms that Izzy respects and understands that the relationship can be and is deadly serious. Not at all, he says, like what Jack does.

Jack gets fired for being a dirtbag who is unpleasant both to work and socialize with. He starts up his alpha male course again. Marked by this period of employment and then unemployment, this is the longest he and Ed have gone without fucking since they met in undergrad. They miss each other. They hang out as much as their jobs and their jobs' travels allow, but they miss each other.

Stede starts taking Jack's course. On one hand, it's to learn how to fuck like an animal. On the other hand, it's because in order to favorably compare his relationship to the relationships Jack leads he needs to know more about how Jack leads his relationships. On another, deeply subconscious hand, Stede has picked up on Ed missing Jack and wants to be In The Know about that too.

The half sexual and half Who Knows tension between Jack and Stede during the course is so thick that Stede ends up being one of only two students who don't drop out. The other guy certainly isn't learning what he came here to learn, but by George he sure is learning something. Who knows, maybe he'll end up writing his own thesis on whatever the fuck this is.

Right about the time that there should be an exam or a final project due, Jack and Stede finally fuck for the second time. Stede pretends that Jack is the asshole in this situation and Stede has done nothing wrong ever in his life and had no particular hand in this decision. He does tell on himself as soon as he gets home though.

Ed admits out loud that he misses Jack. That he doesn't understand what his feelings are, because they're not like the feelings he has for Stede or the feelings he has for Izzy, or the feelings he's ever had for anyone else really. But whatever they are, they exist, and they're not going to magically go away because feelings just don't work like that. Izzy makes a bunch of vague, hissing-cat type noises about Jack being around. He doesn't mean it though, not really. He likes having something to be pissy about.

They subsume Jack into the polycule.

The non-monogamy paper becomes a joint study by Stede and Jack. Once again, it's completely academic in nature. Cannot express this enough. Totally objective.

I'm so asdfghjkl about this good lort lmfao. washington obvs prolly the younger of the two by a few years. carolina actually knew her mother? at least as much as a kid possibly can at that age, coming and going all the time. but wash prolly doesn't really have the luxury of remembering a Before. only that one day his mother was dead and his father might as well have died and that carolina was suddenly (and perhaps unconsciously at that point) being held to so much more. wash is clever but isn't a genius. cares about his friends and teammates but isn't a leader in the traditional sense. carolina would dye her hair first, of course. likely still in her mid teens at the youngest. always over and over told how much she looks like her mother. there's a Legacy there and she wants nothing to do with it. the disdainful cold shoulder between she and leonard lasts for Weeks? meanwhile when wash bleaches his, it's like no one even notices.

and not being enough for the project! but he got his ass court martialed and the planet they grew up on got glassed and his father 'doesnt need the scandal.' in one of the short stories from the companion book, when wash put that kid through a mirror in school? the anger issues are There the short fuse righteous temper habit of hair trigger violence.

but while lina is running herself frayed and ragged trying to be The Best™, wash is more noticeably companionable with the other members of the project. he might be a messy too-earnest rookie, but people Like him? they're fond of him. people admire and respect carolina but does she have any Actual Friends?

fucking christ tho. that carolina was supposed to have sigma. that had been the plan. their fathers ambition and cunning creativity. and washington being paired with epsilon. they didn't know he was the memory fragment either?? had suspicions probably but it wasn't confirmed until the end of season six.

never not thinking of alphas absolute distress and despair and bone deep pain at thinking he fucked up and got tex and wash killed. like why Those Two Specifically. why put epsilon into his head after that. knowing or not knowing he was memory wouldn't have really made much a difference like. you tell the tortured exhausted stressed out ai he got someone killed, it rips itself apart again in response, and then you put that raw nerve right into the head of the person they'd supposedly failed? bewildering!!

oh but eta and iota get ripped out and lina goes over the cliff and then subsequently into hiding. and wash?? how long was he barred from active duty. how many times did he have to lie about whatd happened? how long did he have to hide that he knew Exactly what his father had done? how long before he convinces them that he's functional enough to be sent out and clean up the mess.

after fucking sidewinder again? maine is dead for good and epsilon is gone and the blues fake his death! what was that reunion like when carolina showed up after who knows how long looking for epsilon? like oh hey wash, kinda thought you were dead. you wanna go on a road trip and get back the ai that fucked you up in the first place so he can help me kill our father? like! lina bby. pls.

carolina gets to say goodbye to their father. she gets the kinda sorta closure of realizing he wasn't wholly cruel and cold and manipulative. it was never with malice. but wash never gets that asdfghjkl. never closure after epsilon not after leonard. and epsilon and lina are suddenly best fucking pals and they Leave!! just oh. okay then. it was nice to see you too lmfao ;__;

carwash siblings carolina dyeing her hair red to be less like their mother, wash bleaching his hair to be more like their family

Miya Atsumu

» His dirty talk

First off: that voice. I think y'all know what I'm talking about literally orgasmic

It's so deep, and smooth, and relaxing in a way that just gets you going. There's just something about it that makes you rub your thighs together if ya get me

And when he presses his lips close to your ear, his voice feels like he's caressing you all over yes all over

You basically get high off his voice. Cloud nine ☁️😍

He absolutely loves to talk dirty to you, telling you exactly what he's going to do to you, how pretty you look with your mouth around his cock, or how you're taking him inside you so well hnng

He's got a knack for choosing exactly the right words, and it gets your pussy dripping and aching for him

He always says about how your pussy feels like it was made for his cock

It fits so snug. Loose enough that he can fuck you whenever, but tight enough that he has to work for it

Astumu really loves teasing you – taking his time and priming you with his dirty talk, experimenting with just how close to the edge he can get you when he's hardly even touching you confident little shit, I love him

And it's pretty close

He's exactly the kind of guy to take over an hour making you desperate and horny for him, enjoying the view of your sensitive body squirming beneath him, craving some kind of release

Seeing you like that for him, all just with his words and the occasional well placed hands, boosts his ego to no end as well as making him literally rock hard, aye papi

And the sounds you make when you're a hot, horny mess~

Lord, he wants to record them on his phone and play them back full volume when he jacks off

Honestly, he just wants to record you in general. Take a video of you mewling for him. Maybe snap a pic from above of you with your top pulled up over your tits, nipples hard, thighs pressing together, and with the most desperate look on your face so he has it...you know...for later...

But he'd never actually do any of that without your consent, just to be clear

He'll do this until all you want – all your can think about – is having his cock inside you

And he can be ever so slightly mean and make you beg for it, with that cocky, lidded gaze and a faint smirk again – the little shit. But I love him

"What is it that you want, babygirl? I need to hear you say it. Don't be shy. Use those big words of yours."

But he'd never be so mean as to deny giving it to you. He always planned on fucking you until you can't walk please, oml

Besides, while he's been getting you all riled up, he's been getting just as flustered and desperate. He can just hide it pretty well because he relishes the process

And it's not all just talk, either. Astumu really delivers prime dick 🙌 let me tell you

But the dirty talk doesn't stop there

He uses that voice of his and those delicious words to drive you closer to your climax, his words getting cruder as his hips get sloppier, praising you to no end

He's not shy about what he thinks. He's incredibly straightforward about it

You're making him fucking horny? He'll tell you. Your pussy is the best he's ever fucked? He'll tell you flat out while he's pounding into you. He thinks you look beautiful stuffed with his cock? He won't even hesitate

Communication is key, ya know?

Astumu is a great sexter, too. He has you rushing home on a regular basis to get dicked down omw, lol

And he can't resist whispering dirty nothings in your ear in public, watching you twitch as you get flustered and needy he thinks it's really fucking adorable

The hottest shit since fire was discovered

But underneath that confident, teasing exterior, he's actually super soft for you

You mean the world to him, and his dirty talk is just a declaration of it. His little way of saying 'I love you'

And he's just as whipped for you and your pussy as you are for him and his cock

Awwww. Guys, true love is real 🥺

Miya Osamu

» He loves mutual masturbation

Is it a kink? A fetish? Yeah, pretty much

There's just something really fucking hot to Osamu about getting each other off/getting off in front of each each other

Like, stroke his cock while he's fingering you, and he's cumming in 2 minutes tops

Does it fully replace regular sex?

Nah. Osamu is still down to jump your bones, like, 80-90% of the time lmfao

But he's a pretty practical guy, you know?

He knows that people don't always have the time or the energy, or sometimes even the enthusiasm, to go ~all the way~ every single time

Even for a quickie which he is a fan of, tbh

So he sees mutual masturbation as a great alternative

You both get what you want, you get to do it together, and it really, really turns him on win-win, tbh

Plus, this way, he generally gets a better look at you while you two are going at it he loves a good view

He's a ~connoisseur~ if you will

Osamu is also really into thigh riding and dry humping not just for practicality, either

It's not uncommon for you to crawl onto his lap or thigh when he's busy at home and you're feeling needy, and slowly start grinding on him to get his attention

He might try and ignore you at first, play a little game of will-he-won't-he before he stops doing to whatever it was he was doing before and gives in to you

He'll never turn you away if you're desperate enough to start riding him like that. He's like, 'Damn, she really wants me, huh? 🥵'

Even if he wasn't horny before, he sure as hell is once you start rubbing yourself against him like that

He doesn't even really understand his fascination with all this stuff himself. Like, is it the fact that you're still wearing clothes? The extra friction? The intimacy? The neediness of it? Who knows 🤷‍♀️

All Osamu knows is that it makes his dick stand up faster and straighter than a patriot hearing the national anthem, lmfao, sooo....

He tries to let you do your thing when you're grinding against him like that, but his hands normally find their way to your hips and start firmly working you down into his crotch or thigh, harder and faster

He just can't help himself. The more he gets turned on, the more is hands wander they're kind of cold and it sometimes makes you jump or shiver

If he was being entirely honest, he'd admit how much he loves the feeling of your wet pussy sliding against him, or the feeling of your juices seeping through his trouser leg, making a beautiful, glistening mess but he's rarely that honest, unlike his brother, lol

Definitely the kind of guy to casually lick his fingers after making you cum around them 👅 he may or may not kiss you directly after

His face can be a little hard to read sometimes, but he gets this particularly hungry look in his eyes whenever he's turned on that sends a tingle up your inner thighs *eyebrow wiggle*

The proximity when you're getting each other off is a big win for him – the heat, the panting, the intensity, the little or not so little sounds that escape your lips~

It's all so steamy. It really gets his blood pumping to his diCK

When he's turned on, he gets a little blush across his cheeks that spreads to the tops of his ears you love seeing it from your vantage point when you're straddling him

One thing is certain, though, and that's that he wouldn't do this kind of thing with just anyone

There's something about mutual masturbation, thigh riding, etc. that's very intimate and personal to him, and he'd only do it with someone that he really loves and, perhaps even more importantly, trusts

It's an honour, my gal 😌 He doesnt open up to just anybody 🥺

Sakusa Kiyoomi

» His cum kink

So, a 'cum kink' is pretty vague, as it can mean literally almost anything to do with cum make sure you do you research, my peeps

But Sakusa has a pretty specific cum kink, and that's that his goes inside you

Doesn't really matter if it's your mouth or your pussy I'm not going to say ass, because I feel like that's a big no-no for him

He just likes it going inside you. Swallow it, hold it in by laying on your back with your legs up – whatever. All good to him

But!

It's not a breeding kink thing. It's actually surprise, surprise because it's cleaner. Less mess

Now, Sakusa holds great pride in being able to make you cum, and duh he likes the feeling of himself cumming. He just doesn't want it getting everywhere

Cum is a nightmare to clean out of stuff!! And he wears a lot of black, so it's not a good mix!!

Legit, don't get cum stains on black clothes, guys. 100% not a good time 😭😭

The reason for it isn't the hottest or most romantic thing in the world, but like I said before:

He loves cumming inside you

Just, for the love of God, don't let it all flow back out again please. If not for his sanity, then for your own, because he will fucking go off 😭😂

Condoms are normally a must again, for hygiene reasons

Wrap that shit up, my dudes

But if you get to the stage of your relationship where you're wanting to try going raw and maybe have a baby then~

Damn, this man is going to absolutely destroy your pussy 😩

And if you happen to have a little breeding kink yourself, then you're in for a treat, my gal~

He'll definitely play it up just for you, and will not shut up about how he's going to fill you up until you're fucked out and your pussy is stuffed to the brim with his cum

When you're done, he'll literally take a firm hold your legs and keep them up in the air to stop his cum escaping *sweats in breeding kink*

Rest in pieces if you have a bad gag reflex, because Sakusa enjoys deep-throating, and literally cumming straight into your stomach lmao, and he's a big boy, so prepare yourself

Again, no clean-up = ideal

He can normally be a little rough, but he is the GOD of hate/angry/frustration sex. Like, taking out his stress and frustration in bed just makes it even better

He can be a little iffy about giving you oral or fingering you, though. 'Tis a bit messy for his tastes

He doesn't like to make you do all the work, though. It makes him feel lousy

So one time he offered to finger you while wearing a pair of those latex gloves that doctors wear lmfao, gold star for Kiyoomi. He tried 😭

And I'm not even remotely exaggerating when I say he will outright refuse to have sex with you if you have a cold

Exchange of bodily fluids when you're ill is a big NOPE did you honestly expect anything else? 😭

This isn't even about his kink anymore. Whoops 🙃

Your matchup is... Hoodie/Brian Thomas!

In general:

Took me a hot minute or so but I ultimately decided on Brian because it's the vibe I'm getting. Let's elaborate on that.

What he likes about you:

I always start out with the physical stuff first and I'm just going to say that Brian really likes your hair! Thinks it is absolutely gorgeous and fun. Will compliment how fluffy it is. Likes that you're into nature, crafty, and your music choice! Thinks your art is super fun and will want to see it. Thinks your singing voice is absolutely beautiful. Coming back to this. Your pets are fun to him as well, and your likes just seem to really line up with him y'know?? Especially loving Autumn, rain, when it's chilly, all that kind of fun stuff.

General cute things:

ALright, I feel like swimming outings would be a thing between the two of you. Brian likes water. It's just the vibe I get. Make him flower crowns please lmfao. Brian is soft and actual sunshine when he wants to be. He will watch the sunrise and sunset with you!!! He loves to just strum his guitar in the early mornings, listening to the birds sing. I feel like music dates would be a thing between the two of you. Just sitting in a flower field, watching the world go by, singing and all that cute stuff. Brian is admittedly a bit of a home body as well, so like,,,,,, hey. Just the two of you curling up on the couch, taking naps? Yes. Brian will occasionally get you gifts of things that remind him of you. He also gives me the vibe that he would get you flowers just because he thinks you'll find them pretty. He will goof around with. ALSO, Brian loves to listen to you!! Please talk to him about whatever is on your mind and I guarantee he's going to love it!! You being such a sweet person makes his heart sing? Like, you just reaffirming all the things he needs to hear make him so happy. He will also play with your hair, and on other days, he will rest his head on your lap and you can play with his.

You two as a couple:

Y'know, I think the only thing that might be a bit of a talking point between the two of you is the not having kids thing. Brian strikes me as such a strong family man. However, I don't think he's incapable of bending, so if the two of you want to be fur parents, he'd be just fine with that. Other than that, one of Brian's love languages is touch to like, be prepared for hugs, kisses, all that wholesome stuff. He's definitely a bit of an insomniac so like, please spend time with him cuddling on the roof while the two of you talk about anything and everything. Brian will definitely cook and bake with you as well, seeing those are two things he loves to do. You won't ever have to worry about jealousy with Brian because he's a king of "I have a partner stop speaking to me :)" You can also spoon him, he'd find that comforting. Brian prioritizes communication, so if you start crying, or anything like that, he'll give you some space and then come back to it. He doesn't want to cause you any harm, but some things need to be spoken about. Brian will also be your rock if the two of you go out in public and you're not very happy or overwhelmed. I swear, he's always going to be there for you.

Closing thoughts/other things:

Hi love bug, sorry this is late. The matchups were giving me some wonky type of burn out, but it's here now. To answer your thing about why animals don't need toothpaste, it actually has a lot to do with their diet! They don't eat refined sugars or the high amount of acids we do, and they also tend to eat way more twigs, sticks, bark, bones and even grass that help keep their mouths free of debris. Tell me about your characters and stories! One of my favorite things to do outside of running this blog is OCs and world building. Again, apologies for this being late. Tumblr doesn't timestamp when things come in so I just kinda guess?? I imagine it's been here for a while, my bad, I've been working out of order now. As always, let me know what you think and I hope you enjoyed!

[go-our-own-ways]

why am I such a sucker for nice voices aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I still like my seiyuu faves of course but the lack of situational drama cds has really made it hard for me to enjoy seiyuu-related content 'cause I've really really REALLY lost patience with gacha games lol

only one I'll play is saisuta bc I refuse to abandon sidem haha

and thus vtubers has become a godsend, and yet also not 'cause I really do not have the attention span for 1+ hr long streams aha...

I unfortunately don't have the sort of job where I can easily just listen to a vod in the bg while working so... the times I'd really be able to listen to vods is...limited ; u ;

that being said

sonny, shu, nagao have me in a chokehold, and maybe alban? that's tbd lol OH AND MAGNI TOO looooooooooooooooord

the thing with shu is that somehow I don't really have the patience for his streams lol orz 100% on me, I think maybe humor just isn't a good fit ; ; but otherwise yeah I like his talking voice a lot, actually ; u ;

and then the thing with alban is that I like his voice a lot more when he isn't being hyped for chat LOL orz

nagao sounds like a gremlin 99% of the time, but actually in this case I like that about him HAHA it becomes a good contrast for when he sings or is being more serious in anything

and sonny well... let's just say his voice is basically everything I could ask for LMFAO god it's disgusting (positive) wwwwww really wide range where his voice sounds pretty comfortable/natural, but his "real" natural voice is nice and warm and like... not too deep. if it's too deep, it ends up grating on my ears if I listen to it for a long time... I could listen to sonny talk forever LOL... AND THEN his singing is ALSO good... AND his acting... his voice is like. smooth as butter, but also really relaxed and chill. wtf. he's so unfair. he's too perfect lmao (':

and then there's magni out here with a smoooooooooooooooth af voice. and during debut when the love potion spilled? LIKE. SIR WTF WAS THAT???? I felt second-hand embarrassment but also was like. flushge. LMFAO. would love to buy voice stuff if h0l0 does that sort of thing weh...

that being said. THAT BEING SAID.

after hearing host!oliver from tamaki's host club stream recently... I'm beginning to wonder how many more njsnj members actually have good, natural ikebo voices that I've yet to hear.........................

it's kind of terrifying LOL

esp considering one vp of like. maaaybe 5 minutes in length? is like. 1000 yen. LMAO. highway robbery, compared to seiyuu drama cds...

I do think I might genuinely try to get an oliver vp sometime, if I like the theme... yumeoi and perhaps belmond too lol. thanks tamaki...wwww

I'd love a roberu vp too, but again idk what the h0l0 system is like (do they even have vps lmfao) so I'll have to look that up sometime...!

I typed all this while listening to random bits of random nagao karaoke vods and wehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he's by no means a perfect singer but the potential is there and when he's on a roll with a song, he sounds SO good!!!!! T A T )b

I think relative to shu and sonny, I love how variable and versatile nagao can be with his singing. The texture of his voice changes so much and makes his performances sound so full of life, to me.

Shu's mellow songs are my fave (flos, shoujo rei especially), though his other song performances during karaoke have also been great. sonny is a belter and it sounds SO good. but with these two, their voices are pretty stable, don't change too much in texture. which is good and fine!! nothing bad at all!!

I think I just occasionally enjoy more raspy/gravelly + smoky vibe like nagao's <:

idk if there's any trend or similarities amongst the voices that I like tbh bc I think there actually ISN'T... LOL... but whatever I like what I like > u < )b

ANYWAY... I love nice voices.............. it soothes the soul for me........................
