As someone who hasn't touched it yet- how does IS4 stack up? How's first impressions been?

Ok, let me give my thoughts on IS4, now that it's been a week!

TL;DR -> This Rocks, I love it.

IS4 is far, far more polished than IS3. I feel a bit bad blasting and slamming IS3 so much, but the bottom line with it is that it's just very very flawed in ways that really make it hard to revisit it in the same way IS2 is always a fun romp.

If I had to point out flaws with IS4, it'd be that, on a personal level, I wish it had a few more Normal Arknights Maps. The vast majority of maps in IS4 are pranks and checks of some sort. This isn't necessarily a negative, but I do like playing some Tower Defense more frequently than what IS4 allows, since it's always got me worried about "oh god my team lacks X, Floor Y's Map Z checks X, if I get it, I'll D I E " so I try to go for my super tried and true team instead of daring to experiment all that much. This will eventually pass, but it's been a Thing for me.

Besides that, though? I just have a lot of good things to say about it. The systems feel like they were thought out this time: The Fordartals (sp?) system allows for a lot of player expression, agency, and just in general fun in a way the Light system of IS3 can simply never hope to compare to. About the only thing the Light system did right was the way it worked thematically: If you wish to confront The Corrupting Heart, you really, really gotta go in the dark, and for the best possible chance against, Izumik, Mizuki must find the Light again and be filled with hope. Yeah ok sure, thematically, these work, but the gameplay component sucks ass, because Light exists almost exclusively as a form of punishment and in basically no way as something you can use. It opens some roads, sure, but that Rogue Trader and Wish Fulfilled node are not worth having 9 out of you 11 Operators with Metastatic. Speaking of Metastatic, the single worst thing Arknights has done, even if you are maxed out on Collapse in IS4 and are packing four fully upgraded maluses, THAT STILL DOESN'T COMPARE to how bad Metastatic was. Let that sink in.

The endings are no longer RNG! Absolutely wonderful!

Eik is the first IS 2nd Boss I can say I think is good! Frozen Monstrosity was just annoying, Big Sad Lock is incredibly static, and The Last Knight, in my opinion, is the single worst and most boring boss in the entire game, not even just the game mode. Eik is like if The Last Knight didn't suck: Same principle, but done in a way that is actually not snooze-inducing. Mind you, the principle of the fight is still not something I enjoy, but unlike The Last Knight, that's wholly a me thing, as opposed to being an objectively awful and boring fight (like The Last Knight, the worst and most boring boss in Arknights).

Even though I said I'd like some more normal maps, the maps are good, to be honest! I can't think of any Fire and Water Unions or Out of Controls.

IS4 is the Smash of Arknights: (Almost) Everyone Is Here! Brush up on your gimmicks from various events, because they WILL appear.

The Midboss philosophy in IS4 is lovely, in my opinion: It's low HP bosses who can quickly fuck you up in their own way, be it stun, immense conditional damage, or simply supporting their team so well that you get overwhelmed. The Variant stages for the bosses are entire new maps, so that's also cool.

Collapsal enemies are congruent with the map design: Collapsals can be very quick, with a caveat: Normal Collapsal mobs speed up after they get hit, Casters speed up after not attacking for a bit, Aerials are fast but always have many loops and never directly go to the point until after a while. Shattered Champions are the exception, and they can either loop a while or just go straight for the jugular, making them apt Elite units for the faction.

There's much more I could say more concisely, but really, just try the game mode, get your ass kicked a bit, learn it, and then you'll see how coherent the design of IS4 is in terms of systems, maps, enemies, and features. Sorry, IS3, but you got your ass absolutely kicked like I did on my Waves 15 runs when you'd give my 2 main DPS units Metastatic on Floor 5.

Unpopular opinion: Superstars' OST is a bop

Bridge Island? A cute introduction to the game! Speed Jungle Act 1? Tee Lopes' answer to Silent Forest (another underrated track IMO)! Lagoon City Act 2? Super chill and reminescent of the Saturn era! Press Factory and Egg Fortress? The harsh synth is exactly what Eggman-themed zones need! Pinball Carnival and Lagoon City Act 1? Rintaro Soma is a welcome addition in the roster of composers! And I could go on. I've been blasting Superstars tracks much more than Frontiers' (that game has some gems too, the soundtrack is just a little bloated) :D

"oh but some of the tracks suck!" maybe, yeah! I don't like most of the boss themes (the final boss themes are good, though). But... honestly, the majority of Sonic soundtracks for me have a handful of tracks I skip, it's noral I think. The ones in my top 3 are special precisely because the "skippable" ones are limited. Also, I don't like how we still don't know the full credits of the SOT, but fans have been blaming Senoue for the "bad" sounding tracks.

(then again I find SA2's OST mediocre so I may just have shit tastes :P)

Agreed.

After days of everyone hyping up how terrible the soundtrack was, when I finally heard the whole thing for the first time, I kept thinking "...This isn't that bad...?" I genuinely thought I was missing something. Even the Sonic 4-esque tracks aren't that awful, although obviously I do prefer the S-tier bangers like Speed Jungle and Lagoon City. I agree that the regular boss tracks are among the weakest, but the Egg Diablo theme makes up for them. :P

Not to say Superstars is immune to criticism, but I've noticed that some of the people who drag the soundtrack through the mud tend to have it out for the game altogether for being a *chokes on words* Classic game. I think the moment so-called music experts decided to chime in and trash the soundtrack was when I checked out. You have to wonder where all these quick critical eyes were during Frontiers. :^)

I like the SA2 soundtrack on the whole, but it is held back a bit compared to the greater variety found in SA1, something that makes the latter one of my favourite soundtracks in the series. That said, my most controversial Sonic music opinion (probably) is that the Black Knight soundtrack is mostly forgettable. It's not bad by any means, but I have trouble remembering most of it, and that's not something that happens often with me and this franchise. Live Life is the major exception though, I love that one, and there are some other good ones sprinkled here and there.

Hey gang, my debut on tumblr :D

been at this art thing on YT and new grounds for a while and that's been rad, met loads of cool people! hope to do the same here! what flavor are your shoelaces? or whatever you weirdos say.

[context is given in the vid, but for some more:

Those who were there when the old texts were written might remember a little toon I animated for a cakestation animation contest. Well this is the curtain call! The final one was announced and I decided to participate. For most, the deadline was the 17th. But because of my schedule I only had until the 15th. So here's the deal. I FAILED. Completely didn't even animate the prompt oops. Truth is, I did end up with some cool segments and maybe something of a concept/pitch? Its about this guy named Icarus who goes on a WACKY adventure!!! Keep in mind this is literally not finished so do not expect the world, just thought I'd share what work I did get done. Interjection 1: Here, Icarus would have crashed into a soldier before starting this big blast of choreography! Interjection 2: Exploding the cannon would have created a big biggg hole for icarus to jump into. They would find themselves in a hallway where a SUPER AXE SOLDIER would try once more to stop them. Interjection 3: After taking out that brainiac, Icarus would land one final drop kick sending him flying out of the hall and into the bomb room. There the PROMPT WOULD FINALLY BE MET. Icarus walks forward slowly before realizing !!! the person who started the nuke timer is HIS FUTURE SELF??? They would have absolutely boxed, but I ran out of time. Only have a few quick exchanges. Conclusion- So yeah, nothing much. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! Expect more (and finished) cartoons in the future.

heres the YT vid + my channel if youd like to see some of the other slop ive poped.

Hey yall! This is an IRLAU Etho fic (hermits/empires irl, I’ll explain) that I made last month and forgot to post. Hope you guys like it!! :D

Darren leaned back in the passenger seat of the police car she was in. Her friend, Thompson drove. They had been sent to check out a possible explosion in the suburbs.

The caller, a neighbor had said “it sounded like a boom. It could’ve been something falling though, now that i think about it.” Darren sighed, taking another sip of her coffee.

“So what do you think?” She asked her friend. “Hoax?”

“Mmm…i dunno.” He replied “My senses…they’re a’tingling.”

They stopped at the house with the reported combustion. The brakes creaked as they pulled in. A single streetlamp flickered and sparked down the road, making the night glitch, almost.

Thompson knocked on the door, the cracked glass rattled. No answer. He knocked again, harder. Still no answer. Thompson tried the knob. It crunched, but opened slowly. There was silence from the sparsely lit entry hall, save for a soft whimpering somewhere within.

The officers walked inside. Broken glass was strewn across the floor. They stopped by the dining room. There were black blast marks coming from beyond the doorway. The quiet crying was louder here.

Darren and Thompson walked in and- oh. The dining room was a wreck. The table was overturned, black covered the walls and floor as if there was an explosion. Bodies laid upon the cracked tiles. And in the middle of the disaster was a child.

Curled in the back corner of the room was a small figure with silver hair, with ears and a tail to match. Thompson walked up to the fox whelp.

“Hey, kid, do you know what-“

“N-NO!!”

Darren got blown backwards by a force of black energy.

Her consciousness returned rather quickly. A dull pain pounded in her head. Looking to her left, she saw that Thompson was…dead. The fox was still shuddering in the corner. The two locked eyes, and Darren’s stomach turned.

Black, matte eyes, dripping with dark tears. His left eye was half-closed from a bleeding gash. The child let out a small sob and broke eye contact, moving farther into the corner.

Okay. This would prove harder than expected. Darren grabbed the radio over her chest, pulling it to her mouth.

“Report, base.”

“This is base…what’s the report?”

“Right. Thompson and I were checking out that rumored explosion in the eastern suburbs. Turns out there was.”

“Uh-huh. And what kind?”

“…magic.”

“Is the fugitive apprehended or identified?”

“Well…it’s a kid.”

“A kid?”

“Yeah, only seems about six years old.”

“Were there any casualties?”

“Uhh…yeah, about…” Darren counted the bodies in the room, shoving herself into a sitting position. “Nine or so…including Thompson?”

“What?! What happened?”

“The kid is super easily spooked and Thompson apparently came across too outgoing. Threw me across the room. Prob’ly gonna need a magic binder.”

“Right. Sending backup now.”

Said backup arrived quickly. Wailing sirens and flashing lights filled the once tranquil street. The other officers had been warned not to enter the house until the child had been safely removed…

Officer Lucy Santha was known for her ability to work with kids. That was why she had been chosen, just like she was always chosen to work with kids in situations like this. She knew what to do, but she had never helped someone this powerful.

With a blanket under her arm, she strolled into the dining room. Darren whispered a quick good luck as the other departed.

The child was pinned against the wall now, the bright lights and loud sirens of the police cars causing panic.

Santha sat, about ten feet away from him.

“Hey.” She whispered. The child’s black eyes met hers. His breath didn’t slow. “Don’t worry, I’m not gonna hurt you, I promise.” Silence in return.

“My name is Lucy.” The child slipped slowly down from his pinned position, still keeping intense eye contact. “What’s your name…?” The fox whelp studied her face.

“E…etho.” He whispered after about a minute. He pulled in a shuddering breath.

“That’s a cool name.” Santha replied, keeping the calm tone of voice and a smile.

“Thhh…” Etho scrunched up his eyes and put his hands over his ears. “The…the vo-voices hurt my head…”

“Hey, hey it’s okay.” Santha pulled a device from under her arm. A sleek black ring-shaped device. “This- this’ll make them go away, okay?” Etho stared at her, eyes flashing at the ring. “Trust me, okay?”

Santha scooted toward him. Etho didn’t move.

“Can i have your hand?” Etho hesitated, then extended a small, shaky paw, his fingertips stained black. The officer slipped it over and onto his wrist, and tightened it.

Cah-clickitd.

The black faded from Etho’s eyes, though the shaking didn’t stop. Santha sat down.

“So, Etho, do you like dogs?”

“Y-yeah…” he was taken by surprise by the question.

“Do you wanna meet mine?”

The small fox’s eyes caught hers with a tiny shimmer of excitement.

“Mhm.”

“Alright. Here we go.” Santha took the blanket from under her arm and wrapped it around his shoulders, lifting him into her arms. She exited the house with the fox.

~*~

Etho hadn’t meant to do it. He hadn’t tried. It just…happened. The mean man with the red face threatening his mother. All his horrible friends. The broken bottle. The angry shouts and the tears.

It made him so mad. The inside of his stomach had boiled. And then it happened.

The next half an hour went past in a blur of red and blue lights. People and sirens. Someone patching up the cut on his eye (which was an uncomfortable sensation). The chilly nighttime air. The dull feeling from the new binder.

The only remotely good thing was meeting Santha’s dog, as promised. The black animal had a soft face and soulful eyes.

Etho’s ears rung quietly in his head as he sat in the back of Santha’s car. The dog had his head in the fox’s lap, breathing slowly. Etho felt so tired. His eyes itched with tiredness, and the cut on his face stung.

He had so many questions, but one stood out above all others.

What was going to happen to him now?

[distortedclouds]

for the fanfic writer emoji ask:

🥺⛔️🌞🦅👀⌛️🛠

i could ask about all of them really but do we have that kind of time

Hello there!!

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

This questions is kinda vague, bc are we talking canon moments or something I like to write... so I'll do both!

Canon-wise I'm excited to see them meet again, yeah on Annie's titan hand, but also after it's all over, because then they'd be sure they actually made it out and have each other. The relief on their faces is what I'm anticipating to kill me

Fanon-wise, I like aurani hugs. Just big warm bear hugs because even super early on in their relationship, I think those would be Annie's weakpoint and she'd always relax into them

⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?

I answered it here previously, but if I were to think of something else... I may or may not have seriously considered (and planned to some extent) a modern AU following the plot of the k-drama: Healer. Annie would be the notorious night courier, while Armin is the aspiring journalist who eventually joins the Survey Corps newspaper (Someday News) started by renowned senior Journalist Erwin Smith, so they can expose political corruption without being silenced.

On a side note I'd 10/10 recommend it! It's only 20 episodes long and the characters are a blast!

On a second side note: why did I scrap this, it sounds so good :|

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

Preferably as soon as I wake up, early in the morning. I had my best writing days preparing the word document while eating my breakfast. But on occasion, I'll stay up late writing or put down something real quick in the afternoon

but yeah MORNING!

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

To various degrees of detail, yes! I do like keeping it minimal so I don't constrict myself, but even for oneshots, I like having a bullet points outline of just the events that'll happen in 1-2 lines each. (though I very rarely do a rough first draft unless I'm desperate and resorting to the Most Dangerous Writing App)

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

I'm looking to go back to Slow and Steady with more one-shots, and here are the prompts I've already planned on using:

⌛ How long does it take you to write a fic, or a chapter?

depends! oh my god does it depend! I've thrown together 4k one-shots and smut one-shots in one afternoon, but some chapters I have to force myself to just write around 400 words every day.

so:

🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

For writing: WPS Office docs, comic sans at size 12, 0.5 line spacing between paragraphs, page color set to dark gray. (I know this sounds hyperspecific, but I can't write in any other setting)

For notes: Google Keep on my phone on dark mode with the live widget so I can write something as soon as I get an idea for it. I've written thousands of words worth of scenes for BW and other fics just on this

***

Hope this was good :D

[unagrancantidaddepanes]

OO i didnt catch 'culo' at the end it was way too quiet,,, anyways heres my verdict on all those lines after blasting them full volume into my ear like 32 times, gonna try and go as in depth as possible:

"oh, blitz, im dying of excitement (not sexual excitement, theyre different words in spanish) i cant wait to feel your big, juicy (now, at first i was CONVINCED he said 'fogosa' (fiery/passionate) not 'jugosa' (juicy) because i could clearly hear an f sound, but listening on computer i can hear jugosa clearly, so i guess it could be either ? but definietly leaning on jugosa and it seems like thats what others r hearing too so) cock, wet and veiny inside of my ass-" transcript explaining exact meanings of words individually and little quirks in speaking, u could also look up any word meanings u want more indepth :D (i reccomend https://www.spanishdict.com/ for that, it goes really indepth): "ay, blitz, muero de emocion, no puedo esperar (he sounds super out of breath until this part, this is where his voice starts getting deeper, aka when he starts talking about what he wants blitz to do to him) para sentir tu GRANDE y jugosa VERGA (note that he extends the rolled r for emphasis LMAOO hes like VERRRRRGA (meaning cock)) humeda (wet, but is leaning more towards moist/humid than like, drenched) y venosa dentro de mi culo-" (how the HELL nela managed to catch culo i dont know but yeah i can kind of hear the 'c' and 'lo' 'so i think theyre right :D near the end of the episode when moxxie walks past the phone, stolas is saying "oh, yes, i want you to come inside of me, i want to feel your so very delicious milk (theres a word hes saying here that i cant catch D: POSSIBLY descuida, which is like ? careless or ignore ?? idk) all around my (i THINK he says culo again here (ass))-" transcript again: "ay, si, quiero que te VENgas (he puts a BIG emphasis on the word 'come' AKSAKJS) dentro de mi, (he takes in a very quick sharp breath here) quiero sentir tu leche (he says that part super fast, like super fast rambling) tan rico (extention/emphasis on the rolled r again, like rrrrrrico (meaning delicious/tasty), dont think i explained this before lol but in spanish this is often used as a way of purposefully making words sound more sesnual) (word i cant catch here, possibly descuida) por todo mi culo-"

So the Spanish (Latin America) dub for Helluva Boss s1 e1 got released and it has the part where Stolas goes on about Blitz's dick without the bleeps

This is what people are saying it translates to, we know the the full canon truth about what Stolas said to Blitz now.

MARVEL X GEARS OF WAR.

CHAPTER FOUR

Brooklyn Bridge. As the morning wears away, the fighting intensifies. On the bridge, a mass of people are fleeing to apparent safety on the far side of the river. Armed SHIELD and military personnel struggle to keep the oncoming Locust hordes at bay. There’s a flash of light in the centre of the bridge. Seven figures appear amid the terrified civilians. Luke Cage’s Thunderbolts.

Mach V- the technological maestro of the team, clad in a winged suit of armour that rivals Tony Stark’s

Songbird-long-time member of the team, capable of turning sound waves into energy. Field leader in Cage’s absence.

Moonstone-female wildcard. Capable of intangibility and flight.

Ghost-elderly man in a robotic suit. Capable of cracking any security code and phasing through any defence system.

Crossbones-deadly weapons master. Former right hand man of the Red Skull. One time shooter of Captain America.

Juggernaut-super-strong human bulldozer. The team’s muscle.

Man-Thing-supernatural swamp monster with teleportation powers. The team’s transport.

SONGBIRD: Moonstone, Juggernaut…lead the charge!

JUGGERNAUT: You got it!

Juggernaut sprints across the bridge and smashes into the ranks of the Locust. Some get crushed underfoot. Moonstone follows swiftly in the air behind. She blasts the Locust away with lasers; their bullets shoot through as she turns her body intangible.

 SONGBIRD: Mach V, get airborne and cover us.

He soars into the air and begins raining down ammunition on the enemy.

SONGBIRD: Crossbones and Ghost, open fire. But don’t try any funny stuff, or I’ll have your heads!

CROSSBONES:  Yeah, yeah…

The masked gunman leaps onto the roof of an abandoned car, pulls his machine gun out from behind his back and gleefully opens fire on the Locust. Ghost flies ahead of him, static electricity exploding from his fingertips. Song bird turns to Man-Thing.

SONGBIRD: And you…just stay back here, in case we need a quick evac. And try not to touch anyone.

The beast nods. Songbird flies off. As she ascends into the air, Locust bullets fly up to greet her. She squeals at her attackers, causing purple sound waves to blast them away. Mach V hovers alongside her.

MACH V: Nice job. Listen, if we’re here does that mean Cage trusts this team to protect civilians now?

SONGBIRD: No. it means Cage had no other choice.

Across town, back at Avengers Tower, the defences are barely holding. While the other Avengers do battle outside, Bucky holds his ground at the gaping open window. Scores of small, four legged Locust are scaling the walls. Bucky rushes over to a turret gun and opens fire on the wretches as they crawl through the smashed window pane.

Behind Bucky and the impromptu defences, Steve Rogers is trying to monitor the situation on the streets.

ROGERS: Rogers to all points: how’s the evacuation going?

The moustachioed face of SHIELD agent Dum Dum Dugan appears on a screen.

DUGAN: We’re talking about the evacuation of the most densely populated city in the world, here, Steve. How do you think its going?

ROGERS: Just give me an estimation, Dugan.

DUGAN: Its slow work, Steve. Because of those damn flyin’ squids we can’t perform any air evacs. Luckily, nobody’s trying to be a hero so things are going…

ROGERS: …smoothly?

DUGAN: Wouldn’t call it that exactly, but they’re going. Haven’t had a chance for a head-count yet, but we must’ve gotten a thousand outta the city already.

ROGERS: Good. Keep going. Rogers, out.

Dugan’s face blinks from the screen.

The noise of Bucky’s mini-gun winds down. He turns back to Steve, specks of blood dripping from his face.

BUCKY: I know that look. Dugan said it was going well, Steve. What’s wrong?

ROGERS: We need to work faster. We need to get people out of this…warzone, faster.

BUCKY: Steve…

ROGERS: Maria, show me the situation on the Brooklyn Bridge.

MARIA: The feeds down at the moment, sir.

ROGERS: Then patch me through to Luke in Central Park.

MARIA: Yes, sir.

BUCKY: Steve, listen to me! Everybody is doing everything they can out there! We can’t speed things up! It’s…its impossible!

ROGERS: Back to your post, Captain,

For a moment, neither man moves. Neither breaks the other’s gaze.

MARIA: Sir, you’re through to Luke Cage.

ROGERS: Luke.

CAGE: Steve?

ROGERS: Luke, how’s the fight going on your front? Have you deployed the Thunderbolts, yet?

CAGE: Yeah, yeah, I told them to protect the bridge. Steve, is Squirrel Girl with you? With my daughter?

Steve looks around the room, perplexed. Bucky and Maria trade concerned glances.

ROGERS: No, she…she isn’t here, yet, Luke. What’s going on?

Cage’s voice is coming through in gulps and pants. He sounds like he’s running.

CAGE: Oh, man. Oh, man! She took Danielle and she ran outta the mansion…the mansions gone, Steve, they blew it up…with Victoria still inside. And…oh, hell, Steve, Bobbi’s dead too…

ROGERS: Oh, God.

CAGE: She got hit by some explosive arrow, and…Clint’s in shock, we had to carry him away from the spot. Wolverine got blasted into the sky somewhere, we haven’t seen him. It’s been a running battle ever since. They swarmed over us, so we started movin’ to the Tower. I sent Jess and Carol into the air to join your guys, so it’s just me, Danny, Thing and Hawkeye left…

ROGERS: Where’s Doctor Strange?

CAGE: He hung back a few streets away. Said he would hold ‘em off. Steve, please…find my daughter!!!

ROGERS: You have my word, Luke. I’m putting my best man on it. I’ll find her. Fight your way here. Rogers, out.

Steve pauses for a moment. Then he turns to Captain America.

ROGERS: Okay, Bucky, you’re up. I had hoped to keep out of the fight for a while yet, but…

BUCKY: There’s a kid out there, Steve. Luke Cage’s kid. I’ll find her

ROGERS: I can send an armed guard out with you…

Bucky picks up a machine gun and a few clips of ammunition.

BUCKY: You keep those men on the front lines, Steve. I’ve done search and rescue ops before. I can handle this.

He picks up some grenades, and a side-arm and straps them to his belt, lastly, he picks up his shield.

BUCKY: I’ll be back, Steve. Count on it.

ROGERS: Well, then. God-speed, soldier.

Bucky runs out of the room.

MARIA: Sir, I understand rescuing your friend’s daughter takes priority at this point, but wasn’t Bucky supposed to man the perimeter? Whose gonna do that now?

A deep, growling voice answers from the window.

VOICE: I can help you there.

Standing in the hole of the side of the building is an eight foot tall man with bristling black hair, muscular arms and red skin. His name is Thaddeus Ross, the Red Hulk.

ROGERS: Red, good. I was hoping you’d come.

RED: I’m here sir. Point me where you need me.

ROGERS: I need you in the fight, Red. This tower is the center of our defence. Get on the ground and protect it.

RED: Yes, commander…

He grins maliciously.

RED: With pleasure.

He dives out of the window and lands on the ground with a THUD! He’s greeted by a rain of bullets on all sides by Locust assailants. He claps his massive hands together. The shockwaves blast the Locust off their feet. All but one. One of the Boomer’s fires a shell at him, and it takes him square in the chest. Red gets knocked to the ground. His upper body is smoking and blackened.

RED: That’s…ugh…that’s the last time you get to do that.

Red Hulk leaps over and tears the Boomers head thick head off. Another one tries to fire his weapon, Red fires a devastating right hook first. He knocks the creature onto the ground, and stomps on his face. He picks up the massive Boomshot and wields it like a pistol. He lifts the other gun and holds in his other hand.

RED: Okay, you bastards. Show me what you’re made of.

Back in Avengers Tower, Steve surveys the battlefield. Hundreds of feet below, Red Hulk and the tower’s security are locked in a fire-fight. Across the city, as far as the eye can see, smoke rises, flames engulf buildings and the sound of gunfire and explosions echo over all. The sky is dark and vicious with the storm clouds summoned by Thor. He, Iron Man and several other superheroes are wheeling around in the air, battling the long-legged monsters and their riders. Suddenly, one of them gets past the aerial skirmish and darts toward the tower.

ROGERS: We’ve got incoming!

 A giant hand snatches the creature out of the sky, and flings it out to sea. It belongs to Doctor Henry Pym, Giant Man, and a founding member of the Avengers.

ROGERS: Hank!

PYM: Good to see you too, Steve. I’ve got my team with me, so hopefully we can turn this thing around.

ROGERS: Thank you, Hank. We need every Avenger and more.

With a smile, the eighty-foot frame of Giant Man walks off to find a fight.

MARIA: With Pym’s team and the Red Hulk joining the fight, I think we’ve got the advantage you were looking for, commander. This’ll be an enormous help to the rescue effort.

ROGERS: Don’t be so sure.

MARIA: Sir?

He takes a lingering look at the city in ruins, and turns around

MARIA: It won’t make a difference, Maria.  We’re losing this fight.

End.

[daenqyu]

— they accidentally confess to their crush

includes: shinsou, bakugou, midoriya, todoroki and hawks

warnings: swearing

a/n: thank you for requesting <3 i love this idea! it’s so cute🥺 also, hawks’ may be a little longer than the others because it’s my first time writing for him and i got a bit excited👉🏼👈🏼 

ps: i don’t mind writing for hawks if it’s a headcannon and/or texts! so feel free to request him :D and yes, this is a repoost because the algorithm hates me.

( gif isn’t mine !! credits go to @tetsuruo )

shinsou hitoshi:

it would happen so randomly and out of the blue

as i said before, i think shinsou is a really reserved and quiet type of guy

but that seems to vanish whenever he’s around you

he’s more talkative and constantly goes out with you so you guys can have some quality time together

you also make him really nervous 

he’s pretty chill with everyone and seems to not give a fuck about most things

but with you?

that’s a whole different story 

whenever you keep your gaze stuck on him when he’s talking and his eyes meet yours, his heart never fails to do backflips because fuck you’re so cute

(oh to have shinsou think i’m cute D:)

ok back to the actual hc,,, 

you two were hanging out in your room, listening to music and just talking 

even tho your best friends, shinsou never really tells you much about his personal life

of course you know the basics like his hobbies and all his favorite things

but he never talks to you about...crushes or anything 

and you don’t like that because :( friends are supposed to tell each other this stuff, right? 

it’s fun and makes the bond even stronger

so you decide to ask him because why not?

“hey shinsou?” 

he’s sitting down next to you on your bed, your legs draped over his

which makes him feel all warm inside

it’s stupid and definitely not a big deal, 

but it’s little things like this that make him fall more and more for you

“yes?” 

“do you have a crush?” you wiggle your eyebrows at him in a teasing way, although he’s not even looking your way

a part of you is nervous to hear his response 

because unbeknownst to shinsou, you reallyyy like him

and have been crushing on him for quite some time now, but since you’re so sure the feelings are one sided, you don’t tell him

he’s too invested on the game he’s playing on your switch, eyebrows slightly furrowed as he concentrates

so he almost misses your question

and when he does answer, he’s not even paying attention to the words that leave his mouth

“apart from you? no”

it takes him a good minute to process what he said

meanwhile you’re sitting there like :o

you certainly weren’t expecting THAT

like it’s a good thing!!!! but you’re kinda flustered 

especially when shinsou finally looks up at you, eyes widened in surprise at his own bluntness as he opens and closes his mouth a few times, not knowing what to say now

“wait! i didn’t mean it like that!”

“you didn’t?”

he notices the slight pain in your voice and the way you move away from him slowly and he’s quick to apologize 

“shit, okay...yes i like you but i didn’t say anything because i don’t want to make things weird between us or ruin what we have right now”

he’s looking everywhere but you

because he doesn’t exactly want to face you when you reject him

but you don’t ???

instead you giggle and before he can ask you what’s so funny, you climb on his lap to hug him, causing him to blush furiously 

“i like you too, toshi”

the nickname makes him hug you even tighter while he hides his face on your neck 

it was such a cute confession and even when you two start going out, you never stop bringing it up

which makes shinsou extremely embarrassed 

“hey remember when you confessed and-”

“y/n, we’ve talked about this”

“oh come on! you were so adorable”

he pouts at you 

“were?”

people think he looks so scary but he’s actually a whole ass baby

you roll your eyes before leaning down to give him a sweet kiss, 

“you’re such a baby”

“hm, your baby”

“oh my god you did not”

yeah no, he’s in love with you👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

( gif isn’t mine !! credits go to @bakugousmyboy )

bakugou katsuki:

i feel like it would be pretty difficult to have bakugou accidentally confess directly to you

he knows how to control himself and his emotions so i doubt he’d actually ever do something like this

however,

he’s not that good at hiding his crush on you and mostly everyone on class 1A knows the boy is an absolute sucker for you

except you because apparently you think he’s just being nice

and everyone else is like wtf???? 

like he’s ALWAYS screaming at everyone 

but when it’s you he doesn’t 

in fact, sometimes he even lowers his voice so it won’t bother you 

so that behavior is the one that caused him to be stuck in the situation he is right now

he sat in the common room with kirishima and kaminari, trying to eat his food in peace but the two idiots, as he likes to call them, wouldn’t shut up

he had completely blocked out both of their voices, focusing on finishing his meal and getting the hell away from them

until he heard your name being mentioned 

“dude when are you gonna ask y/n out? everyone knows how much you like her  so might as well you know,” kirishima bumps his shoulder against the blonde, only to receive a glare. “get some action”

“yeah bakubro, she’s super cute too” kaminari buts in and bakugou is about to punch them both in the face

“shut the fuck up. i don’t like her” bakugou scoffs

“but you’re such a softie for her”

“huh?! i treat her the same as i treat all of you extras!” oh but he knows he’s lying, you can’t even compare to any of your annoying classmates 

kirishima smirks, “i’m pretty sure you’ve never once, raised your voice at her”

“so? that doesn’t mean shit”

kaminari looks at kirishima and the redhead nods at him, giving him the green light

“well since you don’t like her, you wouldn’t mind if i ask her out? because i’ve been wanting to-” kaminari can’t even finish his sentence before bakugou grabs him by the collar of his shirt

kaminari yelps, looking over at his other friend for help but he moves his head quickly, knowing better than to get involved 

“you try and make a move on her and i swear to God i’ll blast you all the way across japan, dunce face”

bakugou’s voice is threatening and low, and kaminari knows he means every word so he quickly raises his arms in defeat and nods his head

“okay, okay! i swear i won’t”

little do they know that you’ve been standing behind them for a while now

you’re happy to know your feelings are reciprocated 

but of course you want to tease bakugou about it

“hm did my ears deceive me or does boom boom boy have a crush on me?” 

kirishima and kaminari take that as their cue to run away to their rooms, leaving you two alone

“tch, how long have you been standing there?” even as he glares you down, he can’t hide the blush on his cheeks 

he didn’t want you to find out this way

or at all tbh

you walk over to him, a wide smile on your lips

“long enough”

afterwards you ask him if he wants to go watch a movie with you the next day and he’s lowkey mad because he wanted to ask you on a date first, but he doesn’t say no

you end up having way more fun than expected and you actually confirmed that bakugou was a softie for you 

(turns out you were the last one to find out because literally everyone else knew)

midoriya izuku:

OKAY HE’D BE THE MOST FLUSTERED OUT OF ALL OF THEM

he can barely function around girls in general so like, what does that tell you?

he likes you so much but he’s so scared 

but he’s also so sweet to you even before you start dating oml

midoriya is a sweetheart, we all know this

and he pays so much attention to you

like if you are the mall one day and you see something you really like but can’t buy it for whatever reason well…

a few days later he gets it for you

he would say something along the lines of, “you seemed to really like it so i got it for you”

“you didn’t have to, izuku!”

“but i wanted to”

you’ll try to pay him back in some sort of way but he absolutely refuses

he loves pampering you

yet whenever you try to do the same he doesn’t let you and it’s: ✨annoying✨

anyways,

you were supposed to go to the movies

but midoriya had forgotten he had some homework to do, which was due the next day

“i’m so sorry y/n! i completely forgot, but i promise i’ll finish quickly” he tried to reassure you and you chuckle at the boy, so cute

“it’s okay, izuku. i don’t mind waiting”

you lay down on his bed, trying your best to keep your eyes open 

but as much as you tried, you eventually fell asleep against the soft sheets, your best friend’s bed being just too comfortable 

midoriya sat on his desk chair, writing down the answers as fast as he could so you guys could go watch the movie you were so excited about

he let out a sigh of relief when he finished, before taking his phone out to check the time

6:37PM, the movie starts at 7PM so we still have time

he stood up to tell you he had finished, but was met with your sleeping figure

your eyes were closed and soft snores left your slightly parted lips, hands gripping his sheets to your chest

the curly haired boy almost combusted at the sight

you looked so peaceful, so pretty

a smile grazed his lips as he made his way over to the bed

he sat down beside you, quietly admiring your features 

feeling the mattress dip thanks to his weight, you began to wake up, but quickly shut your eyes when you noticed midoriya was looking at you

truth be told, you just wanted to scare him by suddenly jumping

but his next words made your breath hitch

one of his hands moved up to your face, resting it gently against your cheek as his thumb massaged the skin

your heartbeat was out of control and you forced yourself to calm your breathing so he wouldn’t notice you were awake 

his touch was so gentle and sweet, you couldn’t bring yourself to push him away

“i wish i could tell you how beautiful you are” he whispered and if you hadn’t been so close to him, you probably wouldn’t have heard him

after hearing him say that you couldn’t stay still

you opened your eyes, a smile quickly spreading across your features as you turned around to face the green haired boy

midoriya almost had a heart attack when you moved, hoping you hadn’t heard him

but based on the mischievous grin you wore, he knew you had

“well you just did”

“y-you were awake?!”

“yup, i’m glad i was tho”

hE’S INTERNALLY SCREAMING

your gaze is flirtatious and you’re still grinning and he’s just >_<

“now let’s go or we’ll be late!” 

midoriya can only nod before following you outside

once you’re on your way to the movie theater, you notice midoriya fidgeting with his fingers, his eyes glued to his shoes

you smile as you suddenly take his hand in yours, interlacing your fingers together 

midoriya looks at you with a nervous expression, what is she doing?

“you know, you’re beautiful too”

you were looking at him with nothing but love in your eyes and he felt so embarrassed yet excited at the same time

because holy fuck you just called him beautiful AND held his hand???

he thinks it can’t get any better than this

and then it does when you kiss him a few weeks later😳🤚🏼

( gif isn’t mine !! credits go to @ambershaydeoffical )

todoroki shouto:

like bakugou, i don’t really think he’d be clumsy enough to accidentally confess

however, he does like to speak his mind and isn’t afraid to do so

he’s just really honest and blunt

way too honest 

which gets him in trouble sometimes but oh well, that’s just the way he is and everyone is pretty used to his personality by now

though, after figuring out he liked you as more than a friend, he started to think more before talking

sometimes you liked to get his opinion on your outfits and/or hairstyles

so you’d drag him to you room and force him to be honest and tell you which one he liked most

it doesn’t matter what you wear, you always look beautiful 

he wants to say that, but instead he goes:

“they all look good, i think the purple shirt really fits you tho”

“i was thinking the same thing!”

he doesn’t want to scare you off or make things weird

so he forces himself to hold back on his bluntness 

at least when he’s with you

but one day he just can’t help himself 

you were on your way back to the dorms after a tiring day at school

todoroki walked next to you, eyes glancing over to you from time to time so you knew he was listening\

you were currently rambling about how shitty your love life was

claiming that there must be something wrong with you since no one seemed to pay attention to you- at least romantically 

“i mean seriously, am i doing something wrong or is everyone i’ve met just not for me??” 

you had your cheeks puffed out, a pout on your lips as you kicked the small rocks on the floor

todoroki smiled softly at your complaints, thinking irony could be quite funny sometimes 

until you spoke up again,

“maybe i’m just too ugly or boring, that’d make more sense”

todoroki almost stops dead in his tracks to see if you have a fever 

how could you say that????

you’re so gorgeous to todoroki, and interesting 

you’re probably the first girl he’s ever liked this much in his life

and you have the audacity to doubt your worth just because other people can’t seem to appreciate you??

uh uh, he’s not having it

and so, the words come out before he can even register them properly

“if you were as ugly as you say are then, i don’t think i’d like you as much as i do”

your eyes widened and you stopped walking, wondering if you had heard him right

todoroki stops walking too, and once he realizes what happened, he’s looking away, trying to come up with a valid excuse as to why he said that

you, however, can’t stop staring at him

finding the way he glares at the ground adorable

a sense of happiness takes over your whole body when he doesn’t say anything to deny his sudden confession 

because he cannot lie to you

you walk towards todoroki until you’re standing right in front of him and before he can even question what you’re doing, you plant a sweet kiss against his cheek

“good thing the feeling is mutual”

your words make him smile and he looks so happy

probably the happiest he’s ever been

and you feel proud of being the one responsible for that pretty smile of his

neither of you really rush into making things official 

but the way todoroki lets you cuddle on his left side whenever you’re cold or how he waits for you every morning so you can walk together to class makes it more than clear that he really likes you

( gif isn’t mine !! credits go to its rightful owner )

takami keigo (hawks)

he’d be the type to not give a fuck about it

like he already confessed so what can he do?

nothing. exactly

he’s so cocky and flirty the whole time oml

he’d be shocked for a few seconds, but after seeing you were way more flustered than him, he’d just start teasing you

in a loving way of course

he’s also surprised you hadn’t noticed earlier on, considered how much he flirts with you, but then again, that’s part of his personality so

kinda makes sense you didn’t suspect anything

but he’s so cute and soft for you 🥺

okok so it happened the same day you got your results for your midterms

(you’re a college student here lol)

you had studied your ass off for this tests

staying up until 4AM and having to ditch your friends when they invited you to go out

so you were really positive

you squealed when your teacher hands you back the papers and you see the grade on the right corner

you felt happy to know that all your hard work wasn't in vain

the nerves you had been feeling since the day you took the midterms quickly vanished and were replaced with the feeling of pride

as you walked out of the building, you dialed the person who you wanted to share the news most with

he picked up after the second ring

“what’s up?” his voice was raspy and you ignored the butterflies that appeared in your stomach at the sound

“hey, i have great news!”

“care to elaborate?”

“you’ll find out when i get to your house”

“oh? and who said you could come over?” his tone is teasing and you can practically hear the smirk on his face, which makes you roll your eyes

“i did, now bye. i’ll be there in five minutes and order some pizza to celebrate” you don’t even get hear his complaints because you’ve already hung up

anyone who saw the way you two acted with each other would automatically think you guys were a couple

you were rather affectionate with each other; occasionally holding hands while you walked down the streets and even calling each other by your first names

that was just the bond you two had, and you loved it

he brought you so much comfort

it was almost ridiculous the way he was able to make you smile by simply calling or texting you

you had grown quite attached to the number 2 hero, but you constantly told yourself you needed to snap out of it

because you were friends

nothing more and nothing less

oh but how you wished there was more to your relationship than just that

you shook your head, as if that could help you get rid of the thoughts

true to your word, you soon found yourself outside of keigo’s house

the college you went to wasn’t that far away from there so

you pushed the doorbell and waited around two minutes before a sleepy looking keigo opened the door

his hair was messy and the way he rubbed his eyes and kept yawning let you know he probably had been taking a nap

you scoff, “were you sleeping?” you ask him as you walk into his home, smiling at the familiar scent

he chuckles from behind you, following you into his living room, “maybe, but you woke me up”

“can’t believe your lazy ass earned the number two spot”

“what can i say? it’s a talent,” he shrugs before sitting down next to you on the couch, resting his face on his hand. “so, what’s the good news?”

“so you know i took my midterms last friday, right?” keigo nods. “well, i got my results today” he raises his eyebrows in surprise and waits as you look for the papers inside your bag

once you get them out, you place them in front of your face so he can see for himself

keigo smiles proudly and it only widens when you look up at him expectantly, biting your lower lip

“holy fuck, that’s amazing! you did so good dove”

the nickname makes you weak on the knees but you’re quick to brush it off

you should be used to it, since keigo has been calling you that for quite some time now, yet it never fails to make your heart beat insanely fast

you nod excitedly and put the papers down before you start talking about your experience

keigo can’t help but admire you

you look so happy and cute

it makes him want to kiss you

he wants to shut you up by kissing you, and it sound mean and disrespectful but you just look so gorgeous 😡

and instead of randomly kissing you, he blurts out a confession

“math was probably the hardest but i managed to pass it too, surprisingly, so i-”

he doesn’t even know what you’re talking about anymore, too focused on your smile

“God i like you so much”

you shut up instantly

did you hear that right?

or was your mind playing tricks on you?

keigo looks away momentarily, before locking eyes with you and tilting his head to the side, waiting for a reaction

which he gets soon after because you can’t handle the way he’s looking at you

you look away, hiding your face the best you can

“w-what did you say?”

he smirks after hearing the stutter in your voice

he gets closer to you, until he’s right in front of your face, before saying:

“i like you, y/n”

you don’t know what to say

what are you even supposed to do???

keigo just confessed

your best friend and crush just confessed to you

that’s not something that happens everyday

“i um, like you too” you don’t look at him and he almost chuckles at your shy expression, but decides not to embarrass you any further

“happy to hear that”

he doesn’t say anything for a while and you wonder what the hell is going through his head right

he’s probably just messing with me. oh my God he probably is and i just said i liked him too so what-

your train of thought is cut off when you feel the blonde ruffle your hair while looking at you lovingly

you slowly look up to him

“i’m proud of you, dove”

fuck

“t-thanks”

“now, i think this is something worth celebrating and i’m not talking about pizza. so let me take you out”

“it’s fine, keigo. you don’t need to-”

“can’t hear you, give me about fifteen minutes and then we’ll get going”

you try to tell him no, that it’s fine and you can just eat pizza but he ignores you and still takes you out to eat

i’ll say it again: he’s so sweet :(((

he pays for the food and gives you his jacket when you get cold

he even treats you to some dessert !!

he also kisses you good night when he drops you off at your house <3

[magma-queen]

This is for my lovely Team Rocket anon! I apologize for the wait sweetie, and I appreciate your patience! Enjoy the fluff!

“Prepare for trouble!”

“Make it double!”

“To protect the world from devastation!”

“To unite all peoples within our nation!”

“To denounce the evils of truth and love!

“To extend our reach to the stars above!”

“Jessie!”

“James!”

“Team Rocket, blasts off at the speed of light!”

“Surrender now or prepare to fight!”

“Meowth, dat’s right!”

You had yourself cornered by none other than Team Rocket. You had run into different Rocket grunts, but no one like these three.

“Listen, I don’t want any trouble..” You quivered, backing away from them. “Just let me pass through. I need to get to a Pokemon center as soon as possible!”

Meowth eyes you from head to toe, tilting his head as he pondered. “Jess, James.. this kid looks like their in real trouble. I can’t believe I’m sayin’ this but.. maybe we should let ‘em go.”

“Meowth! You don’t show your soft side to the enemy! Hand over your Pokémon, kid! Don’t make us have to force you into a battle!”

“No! Please!” You cried out, holding your Pokémon in your arms. “I ran away from home, and my Pokemon got hurt while trying to run away! Please..” Tears started to dot the corners of your eyes. “Just let me go.”

The three of them stared at you, and saw your Pokémon in your arms. Looks of sympathy came over their faces. They started to walk towards you.

“Listen, kid…”

“St-stay back!” You shouted.

“Hey, hey…” James looks you in the eyes. “We’re not going to hurt you.”

“Y-you’re not?”

Jessie sighs. “No. We may be evil, but we’re not heartless.” She walks over to you, looking at your Pokémon. “Could I.. take a look?”

You slowly nod your head, questioning yourself if you should even trust them. You knew that Team Rocket were an extremely manipulative group, so you kept your guard up.

“No need to look so tense, kid!” Meowth smiled. “We’re seriously not gonna hoit you!”

Gulping, you handed your Mime Jr to Jessie. She holds it in her arms and takes a look at it.

“James.. what do you think?”

The blue haired man takes his glove off and feels Mime Jr’s forehead.

“Well?”

“It’s got a fever.. hey, kid.. what exactly happened back there? How did Mime Jr get hurt?”

Your face turned pale, and you started to shake in fear. They noticed you tense up, and grew worried.

“Kid, if you’re still worried about us doin’ something.. relax. We’re bein’ completely serious here.” Meowth told you.

Tears started to pour from your eyes, and this startled the trio.

“H-hey, it’s ok! D-don’t cry!” Jessie tried to calm you down, patting your shoulder gently. “James, have you still got that antidote? It looks like it got poisoned.”

“Yeah. Right here.” He took your Pokémon from Jessie and sprayed the antidote on it. Then he took a super potion out of his pocket and sprayed it on Mime Jr too. “There.. It’s not a quick fix.. but I’m sure Mime Jr will be just fine.”

You were flabbergasted, to say the least. You would’ve never thought you’d get help from Team Rocket of all people. As James handed Mime Jr back to you, it opened its eyes.

“Mime! Mime mime!”

“M-mime Jr!” You sobbed as you hugged the Pokemon tight. “A-Are you ok?”

“Mime! Mime!”

“Thank goodness…” You looked up to the trio. “T-thank you.. I don’t know how to repay you…”

James smiled at you. “Well, I think you should tell us why you were running away from home in the first place. Seeing the fear in your eyes… it worries me.”

“Me too.” Jessie agreed. “Are you in danger? What’s your name?”

You almost hesitated in telling them. But somehow, you grew to trust them a little. “I-it’s (Y/N).”

“Okay, (Y/N).. would ya mind tellin’ us what’s goin’ on?” Meowth asks, sitting down on a nearby log.

Sighing in defeat, you sat down next to them on the log and started explaining yourself. You told them in full detail that things weren’t going great at home, and that you decided to run away.. and.. that you didn’t have a family anymore. After finishing your story, you tried wiping away all of your tears.

“Man, kid… we’re so sorry that happened…” Meowth said, hopping into your lap and letting you pet him.

“Th-thanks…” You sniffled.

Jessie and James sat in between you and Meowth, both holding your shoulders.

“Listen, (Y/N)…” James started to speak. “We understand what you’re going through.”

“You do? How?”

Jessie stares down at the ground, closing her eyes and letting out a puff of air. “Our families weren’t there for us, either. I guess that makes us alike, don’t you think?”

“I-I- guess…”

“Do ya want a hug, kid?” Meowth asked, standing up from your lap, opening his arms.

Not saying a word, you nod your head. Meowth smiles at you and cuddles himself into your arms. Jessie and James, from both sides, hug you as well.

“I.. didn’t expect this from you.. I mean, you’re Team Rocket.. aren’t you supposed to be bad guys?”

“See, like we said… we’re not heartless. If we see a kid in trouble, we’re not gonna ignore them.” James tells you, hand on your shoulder. “Say.. (Y/N)… you’re kind of on your own, aren’t you?”

You lift up your head to look at him. “Yeah.. it’s just me and Mime Jr. I’m going to try and start a journey of my own, and never return home.”

“Hey! We’ll be your family!” Meowth exclaimed, making you, Jessie, and James stare at him bewildered.

“What?” All three of you asked.

“I mean, c’mon!“ he hops down from the log. “Kid, you’ve gotta have SOMEONE lookin’ after ya! Why don’t ya stay with us?”

“I.. I don’t know…”

James and Jessie put their arms around you, smiling down at you.

“We promise that we’ll look after you, kid. You don’t have to stay with us, but we can at least keep our eyes on you and make sure you’re safe!”

You smile big at them, appreciating their sudden kindness. After a moment of thinking, you nod your head in agreement.

“Ok! It would be nice to have some folks looking after me.. I’m still kind of a newbie trainer…” You giggled sheepishly. “I appreciate you guys being so kind to me and Mime Jr.”

“Hey, don’t sweat it, (Y/N). We’ll at least walk you into town and into the Pokémon center.”

“I’d like that.” You grinned, and taking both Jessie’s and James’ hands. Meowth hopped onto your shoulder. “Thank you, Team Rocket.”

Together, the four of you walked through the forest and out into the next city. You had a good feeling that these people were completely different from the other grunts you’ve bumped into. And over time, you were sure you would grow to care for them as part of your family.

Red Nose Day One Shot

Super super fun to watch, kudos to Stephen for going ALL OUT with his costume!  It was so sweet to hear that he’s going to be playing D&D with his original group again, so many years later.

The short one shots are fun, but also always end up feeling a bit too rushed, solely because of trying to get everything in as quick as possible.  It’s sometimes an issue with the four hour one shots as well, but those are capable of breathing just a bit more.

LOLing at hearing Ashley do a mix of Yasha and Damien, trying to remember a voice that you haven’t done for over half a year AND didn’t get as long to settle in to as the others?  Yeah, a struggle.  Even Sam’s Nott was a tad off at times, though Beau seemed pretty spot on.

Ah yes, level 5 Nott and her wandering eyes lust XD  I’m just about to get to Xhorhas in my rewatch, so Mr. Minotaur is coming soon XD

As much as I enjoyed this little one shot (and I DID, don’t get me wrong!  Tons of fun!), I think I prefer the first one, solely because of watching Stephen slowly fall back in love with D&D was so beautiful to watch.  While he’s having a blast this game, there’s not that sense of ‘welcome back’ as much as there was for the first one.

(I did get to donate this time around, woo!  I contributed by voting for Dignity.  I have no regrets)

[spellbook-gayboy]

prompt 58? :D

58.

"Oh yeah, cause that worked out so well last time!" Kate replied sarcastically, head ducking as a chunk of the car they were hiding behind exploded burst of in a violent red. What had started as a simple mission had soon spiralled out of hand when Slaying Mantis had shown up, isolating the two of them and pinning them down behind a destroyed convertible, knocking off large pieces with his suit's blasters. "God, if we die, I am going to kill you!"

"C'mon, kids! No point in hiding behind that wreck now, so just come out and I'll be sure to make it quick." the supervillain called, his tone mocking in its sincerity.

"Go to hell, scumbag!" was the only reply, Kate's voice harsh.

Mantis laughed. "Lord above, kids these days! Oh well, I guess that thing about spilled milk is true after all, then!". He held his hands forward, bright lights growing outwards as he charged his largest blast yet, the thrumming growing louder and louder with each passing moment. Eventually the blast was released, its light almost blinding as it struck its target.

Unluckily for him, however, that target wasn't the car.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." a voice called out through the smoke cloud left behind, deep and very familiar to the supervillain. "I thought you were above killing kids, Sean. Guess I put too much faith in you!" it continued, as the man behind it walked forward. He was clad in olive green, his outfit the perfect mix of tactical and heroic, complimented by the bronze shield on his left arm.

Slaying Mantis took a step back. "That's not possible. You- you died. W-we killed you!"

"Guess I got better. Wonders of modern medicine, huh?" Frontline answered, accompanying the comment with a wry grin. "But now that you're all caught up, I get to enjoy how hard I'm about to hit you." he added, raising a fist up as if to show it off.

To say the supervillain wasn't as confident now would be an understatement. "Oh shit" was the only phrase he managed to get out before the super soldier rocketed forward, fist striking with enough force to completely smash his insectoid helmet while also sending flying back into a nearby wall, slumping down into unconsciousness.

"You kids okay?" Frontline warmly asked the two Guardians, looking behind at them with a much kinder look, almost enough to make you think he hadn't just given someone a concussion. “You seem shaken!”

Kate leaned over, asking her teammate “So, you remember when you told me about that guy they were keeping in the hospital? Is that-?”

“Yep. Yeah, that’s him.” Rex answered, not keen on reliving that memory.

“Wow,” she thought out loud, “you weren’t kidding about the whole ‘wall of muscle’ thing!”

“You guys know I can hear you over there, right?” Frontline interjected, starting to get uncomfortable. “Well, uh... just stay here, okay? I have some ‘old friends’ that I need to have some very strong words with!” he closed, turning and running towards the explosions and fighting down the street. 

“Why does he sound like my grandpa?” Kate asked.

“He’s a lot older than your grandpa, Kate.” Rex told her knowingly. “Like, ‘a hundred years old’ older.”

“Huh?”

BnHA Chapter 294: A Half-Assed Escape

Previously on BnHA: Mirio was all “SURPRISE I’M BACK THANKS TO OUR RESIDENT SEVEN-YEAR-OLD WHO RECENTLY EARNED HER BACHELOR’S OF BEING A TOTAL BADASS.” Kacchan was all, “you know what, Dabi’s been trending long enough, time to remind the fandom what a real G looks like,” and he blasted his little bleeding body back into the fray and was all “FROM HERE ON OUT CALL ME DYNAMIGHT!!” Mirio was all, “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... oh, you’re serious,” and Kacchan was all “!!”, and so that’s the story of how my son got murdered twice in one day. Meanwhile in the Todoroki Drama Zone, Deku was all “STOP MURDERING MY FRIEND” and Dabi was all “THAT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” and fandom had a whole big debate about Whether Or Not Dabi Trying To Murder Deku’s Friends And Mentors Is Any Of Deku’s Business, which went exactly how you think it went. Anyway, so then Deku yelled at Dabi, and Endeavor was all moved by his manly words and randomly went to go uppercut Machia in the chin. And, seeing as how the Momoserum finally chose that exact moment to kick in, Machia is now down for the count.

Today on BnHA: The Miriosquad handles the Nearly High End Noumus, freeing up Jeanist to jasphyxiate (okay that one doesn’t really work so well) the rest of the League. Compress is all “TIME FOR THIS MILD-MANNERED SIDE CHARACTER VILLAIN TO SHINE”, except that by “shine” what he actually means is “use his quirk to punch a literal hole right through his own ass to free himself.” The rest of the chapter is basically just a back and forth between him and Jeanist, with Jeanist trying to recapture him, and Compress repeatedly thwarting him by chopping more holes out of himself because HE’S FRESH OUT OF FUCKS, AND THE ONES AT THE STORE ARE ALL SOLD OUT, MOTHERFUCKERS. Anyway, so with Compress basically dying and all, Horikoshi is all “you know what that means”, and delivers a freshly-baked villain flashback revealing that Compress is a descendant of Harima Ouji, a.k.a. the Peerless Thief, a.k.a. some famous guy whom Gentle mentioned this one time for like two seconds back in the day. The chapter ends with Compress finally demasking himself and dumping Tomura back onto the ground, a.k.a. The Worst Possible Place For Tomura To Be. ( •﹏•)

WHY IS CRUST HERE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD

-- OH WAIT, SHIT. OH

AIZAWAAAA you’re alive and receiving medical help thank GOD. HOW MANY EYES DO YOU HAVE. AND MIRKO!! HOW MANY LIMBS DO YOU HAVE, OMG

so is this Aizawa dreaming about Crust’s final moments, then?? jesus. with All Due Respect to Crust’s memory, does Aizawa not already have enough misplaced guilt on his conscience as it is?? “nope, we’re gonna keep piling it on. that’s all he is now. three limbs, an indeterminate number of eyes, sexy hair, and Guilt” well shit

motherfucker y’all really out here placing an oxygen mask on Gran Torino’s corpse. fucking shounen characters. each one comes with a lifetime warranty

DAMN YOU HORIKOSHI WHY DO YOU KEEP SHOWING THESE CLOSE-UPS OF HAWKS’S UNCONSCIOUS FACE ALL WHUMPED OUT AND EXHAUSTED. HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS ARE WE GOING TO GET. ARE YOU PLANNING ON KILLING ME WITH THE UPCOMING CONVALESCENCE ARC, BECAUSE IF SO, AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO TELL ME AHEAD OF TIME SO I CAN MAKE A WILL

for a moment I considered going back and checking my previous recaps to count how many times I’ve already made a joke about Dabi’s fire incinerating Hawks’s wings but not touching so much as a hair on his five o’clock shadow, so that I could calculate whether or not I could possibly get away with making that same joke one more time. but then I realized I could just do it in this kind of roundabout way I’m doing right now instead. so there you have it

FFFFFFFMT LADY AND MIDNIGHT NOOOOO

PLEASE BE ALIVE. PLEASE RESPECT THE SIGN ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. THE ONE THAT SAYS “NO LADY CHARACTERS ALLOWED TO DIE”, WITH THE FINE PRINT AT THE BOTTOM “AT LEAST NOT UNTIL HORIKOSHI GIVES US LIKE TWENTY-SIX MORE OF THEM FIRST IF THAT’S THE WAY HE WANTS TO PLAY IT.” IT’S A GOOD SIGN, PLEASE RESPECT ITS WISHES!!

so anyway though, Jeanist is giving a speech about how god knows how many people all worked together to bring Machia down. and now RHA is getting in on those fabric puns too, I see. “A SINGLE STRAND MAY BE THIN BUT TOGETHER THEY FORM A STRONG ROPE” oh so you think you guys are funny eh? I’m a frayed knot

MEANWHILE EXCUSE ME BUT WHY ARE YOU FUCKING CRYING BLOOD, HOLY SHIT

fffffff. so much for him taking over as the Number One once all this is over. so let’s just recap real quick, because Horikoshi has long since made it clear that one of his plot goals for this arc is to wipe out every single member of the Billboard Top Ten. so how we doin?

Endeavor - was just figuratively eviscerated in front of the entire nation by his homicidal zombiepunk son. also burnt half to death and possibly down a lung. will almost certainly be forced to retire after this one way or the other

Hawks - lying prettily in a medical tent. wings status: gone. hair status: still perfect

Jeanist - WELL I THOUGHT HE WAS FINE BUT APPARENTLY HE’S OUT HERE DYING, JESUS CHRIST

Edgeshot - MIA, last seen fighting Re-Destro. I really want him to have kicked RD’s ass because fuck that guy, but realistically they probably fought to a draw at best

Mirko - alive but in critical condition and missing something like 1.5 limbs

Crust - dead, currently haunting Aizawa’s traumatized dreams. now he’s gonna be triggered the rest of his life by people giving him the thumbs up, THANKS A LOT

Kamui Woods - was set on fire which is His Weakness. thoughts and prayers

Wash - last seen floating hospital patients to safety as Tomura’s wave of decay descended towards him. probably dead ffff

Old Man Samurai - haven’t seen this fucker in a hot minute, who even knows where he’s wandered off to

Ryuukyuu - currently being treated for her wounds, looked pretty bad off. but it’s hard to tell how hurt she is since most of the injuries were acquired in her transformed state. SHE BETTER GET WELL SOON

anyways, so yeah. so much for the top ten. guess that’s another reason Horikoshi brought Mirio back now, huh

so there’s a big panel of everyone fighting the Noumu while Machia lies there all “blurgh.” good riddance my dude. it took like twenty chapters and a hundred people to stop this guy so I really fucking hope he stays down. you’ve had your fun

anyway so Jeanist is sending another steel thread towards Dabi! and he’s all “just a bit more!!” fklklj this is gonna go real well isn’t it

meanwhile Mirio’s fighting a Nearly High End with all of these weird rock formations jutting out of its skin. go on and kick his ass then, Mirio

“each of these guys is probably just as strong as the Noumu from Kyuushuu” hold on I thought Ujiko or Tomura or someone said that wasn’t the case? not that Mirio would know I suppose. anyways let’s just hope he’s wrong cuz if not these kids are probably screwed

kLSDKFHLSKHGLKLK OH MY GODDDD

IIDA FUCKING TENYA YOU’RE A PEACH. THINKS THE NAME IS OUTRAGEOUS, CHECK. USES IT ANYWAY, CHECK. “JUST BECAUSE I DON’T UNDERSTAND DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T BE SUPPORTIVE.” WHAT A CLASS ACT

AND KACCHAN IS RESPONDING WITH AS MUCH DIGNITY AS HE CAN MUSTER

WOW, SON. IT’S ALMOST AS THOUGH YOU HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR TORSO, OR SOMETHING!! although listen up, real talk, the fact that Kacchan of all people can’t muster the energy to yell at someone questioning his ability to kick ass is HIGHKEY troubling and we may be in need of an intervention here soon :/

now Jeanist is finally turning his attention to the League! was... was it not already on the League. omg

ACTUAL SCREAMING AHHHHHH FUCK FUCKLK LK AHHLKHKFFFF

hey so um. what the actual fucked up hell. my soul left my body. imagine if you saw the reflection of this panel on your bedroom window. you would never sleep again

OKAY RHA TRANSLATORS ARE YOU HAVING YOURSELF A LAUGH AGAIN

THIS CANNOT BE WHAT HE’S ACTUALLY SAYING RIGHT. BUT IT’S RIGHT IN THAT UNCANNY VALLEY OF NOT BEING QUITE SURE, THOUGH... (　ﾟдﾟ)

(ETA: just a next-day clarification here, apparently my sleep-deprived ADHD word-skipping brain completely skipped right over the “a” in that last panel, so what I read was, “and Shigaraki’s limp noodle.” so yeah, the moral of this story is always read the speech bubble carefully before you start making running jokes throughout the rest of your post, folks.)

oh wow he’s really freaking out lmao

to be fair though, I’d argue that Dabi has gotten pre-tty close at this point :’) thrilled for him, really I am

but anyway, well then figure something out you big dramatic robot-armed fiend. didn’t you just say you could touch your own ass? can you not just Compress yourself to break free?? does it not work on you? or would you be stuck afterwards lol

(ETA: I was picturing him compressing his entire body at once, not just chunks of it. ghhhlkh.)

um

holy shit Jeanist. are you stupidly trying to cut off their air, or are you going for more of a sleeper hold (jleeper hold??) thing instead. the latter would be way smarter and faster and probably safer as well just saying

but unless Spinner is just being super dramatic, it sure looks like he’s fucking strangling them djslkjlk. this will certainly cement his popularity among the villain stans. good thing you’re not running for office any time soon bud

anyway so I have no idea what these guys are trying to do now. what is this

do you even have till the count of 5 at this rate. I mean

OH MY GOODNESS

HE’S REALLY FUCKING DOING IT!! HE’S COMPRESSING HIS BUTT!! OMFG. TOMURA HIDE YOUR NOODLE!!!

WHAT THE FUCK

DID YOU COMPRESS A PIECE OF YOUR OWN ASS. FUCKING WHAT. PUT THIS MAN’S PICTURE IN THE DICTIONARY NEXT TO THE WORD “LOYALTY”, HOLY CRAP

HOLY SHIT COMPRESS

“HOLY SHIT DID THAT GUY JUST PUNCH A HOLE THROUGH HIS OWN ASS IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS VILLAIN PALS. FUCK IT, HE DESERVES TO ESCAPE”

jeez, talk about... A HALF-ASSED ESCAPE ATTEMPT :D :D :D hahaha. but real talk though, Horikoshi has clearly never tried to leap twelve feet straight up in the air multiple times in succession with only half his glutes though. everyone, I regret to inform you that this panel right here on the left may be slightly unrealistic

also where the hell is he going to go?? did you pack a jetpack away in one of those little marbles sir. and what about Dabi?? and Skeptic too, I guess, but we don’t really care about Skeptic

(ETA: at this point I had to stop reading for about two hours because I had to go out and take care of something; that’s also why this is being posted later than usual lol. anyways so where were we.)

oh my lord

the existence of a translator’s note here implies that the earlier line about Compress being able to reach Tomura’s junk was not, in fact, ad-libbed. hmm. hmmmmmmmm

anyway so now he’s grabbing Compress again because OF COURSE HE IS, so now we’re right back to square one! except now Tomura and Spinner are secured inside of little marbles, and presumably Compress is the only one who can release them

oh nevermind he’s just maiming himself again instead, SHEESH

Skeptic a man is dying please have some goddamn respect

so, uh. is he gonna die, though??

I really can’t tell wtf is going on here, this is the most confusing the art has been in a while. Horikoshi put all of his spoons into that creepyass close-up panel earlier, that bastard

OMG WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS

DON’T FUCKING TELL ME THE “COMPRESS IS RELATED TO THIS THIEF GUY FROM OLDEN TIMES” THEORY IS ACTUALLY TRUE WHAAAAAAT. OH SHIT

so apparently Harima was a Robin Hood type guy who stole from... heroes?? wtf. are heroes the 1% in this scenario. y’all didn’t have any Fortune 500 CEOs to steal from?

THAT’S THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS THROUGH YOU, OH SHIT. and in a related oh shit, the fact that we are getting a Compress flashback now of all times doesn’t bode super well for him. ffff

MEANWHILE THE TODOROKIS ARE STILL TODOROKI-ING

listen here boy if you touch one freaking hair on Shouto’s candy cane head I swear to god --

WHAT DID I FUCKING SAY!!!

SHOUTO NOOOOOO. WTF YOU’RE LITERALLY THE ONE GUY WHOSE WEAKNESS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FIRE. DABI YOU SHIT, YOU BETTER WATCH YOURSELF!! I’M PRINTING OUT A COPY OF THAT COMPRESS PANEL!!! KEEP AN EYE OUT ON THAT BEDROOM WINDOW YOU PUNK!!!

SO NOW POOR SHOUTO IS UNCONSCIOUS AND FALLING!! SOMEONE SAVE HIM!! WHO CATCHES THE CATCHER

COMPRESS LITERALLY HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE RIGHT NOW, WHAT IS HAPPENING

PLEASE DON’T CALL TOMURA LEADER OF THE “PLF” YOU KNOW I CAN’T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY WHEN YOU DO THAT. ARE YOU DYING. ARE YOU JUST A FUCKING HEAD NOW WTF

(ETA: “masks are removable, makeste” you know what it’s been a long day okay lmao. or I suppose Compress is really the one who is lmao.)

GASPPPPPP

okay. okay. looooool okay then

WHY WERE YOU COVERING THIS SEXY MOP OF HAIR UNDER THAT HOOD YOU TOOL. IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED SO GOOD WITH THE TOP HAT. I’M SO MAD AT YOU RIGHT NOW

as if it wasn’t enough for him to demask himself, he also had to get all shirtless and then do this weird attempt at a sexypose too huh

hard to say exactly how much of his torso is currently missing, but safe to say that’s proooooooobably not good. :///// fuck

on the other hand, Kacchan also has a torso hole and he’s still flying around like he just drank a dozen red bulls, so

this man lost his ass and he’s still out here monologuing like it’s the last two minutes of The Prestige. one might say he is monologuing his ass off

so he let Spinner and Tomura free, but is Dabi still trapped in his marble?? wasn’t he all on fire and stuff?? hopefully he can still turn off his quirk in there because if not that’s a pretty fucked up way to die. somewhere out there Snatch’s ghost is all “YEAH I’LL SAY.” oh how the turntables

last but not least, sooooooo. Tomura. back on the ground. that’s. um. ...shiiiiiiiit

Can you do HCs of Shinsou, Amajiki, Bakugo; teen!Aizawa with a South African s/o who has people saying some annoying comments to her just bc she's from Africa. Like someone says that they're sorry that she struggled with poverty (girl is from a super wealthy family that can buy their family), or say some gibberish with clicks and asks her to translate (s/o can speak five languages: English, Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, and Japanese; understand others. Xhosa has clicks). They ask her if she had...

Melanin Goddess

Hello my dear! I hope this makes your day or night! Thank you for requesting and have a great day! I changed the last one to one that even I had to explain to a friend of mine before who was another race. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: Cursing

————————————————————————————————————————

* Let’s start off with one thing here, Hitoshi doesn’t like violence unless he has to use it. He doesn’t mind kicking ass for you.

* You may be independent and can defend for yourself and all, but there are times where he’d use his quirk for the stupidity that people ask you.

* You were just chilling, sitting with your boyfriend and enjoying your lovely lunch.

* Everything was fine and dandy until you heard a tray click onto the other side of the table, across from you.

* Your eyes looked at the figure above you, you didn’t know who she was so it didn’t bother you.

* “You’re from South Africa right?” She asked, looking at you. You cleared your throat and smiled. “Yes, I am.”

* The moment you responded with that. She squealed and sat down. “So! You must’ve had to hunt for food, right?! You’re like a warrior huh?” She asked.

* Hold the hell up? Did you...DID YOU?!

* Hunt?! HUNTING WHAT?! WHO THE FUCK DO I LOOK LIKE?! EEP FROM CROODS?!

* “No, I never had to do that.” You said, laughing awkwardly. “Really? I though you had to, that’s what I see in the movies.” She continued.

* “Well, Everything on the movies isn’t always correct.” Shinsou would butt in, his annoyance obvious in his voice .

* “I was jus-“

* “stand up..” he ordered, suddenly taking control of her.

* He hates how people are quick to judge based on what’s shown within the media of your country.

* Regardless of what others think of you or your country, you’re perfect in his eyes. You’re the best thing walking and there was nothing that could ever possibly change that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Young Shouta is the same as he is now, just probably sleeping less than before.

* You, Present Mic, Shouta, Midnight and Shirakumo. The small group were laughing and giggling about random issues and topics going on within the world at the moment while walking home.

* The golden hour was glowing off your skin while Shouta held your hand, glancing every now and then to see your gorgeous smile.

* “I still can’t believe you’re from South Africa, I know it’s absolutely gorgeous!” Midnight commented while you two stepped into the train.

* “She’s not from Africa..” someone commented, catching the whole group off guard.

* “Excuse me?” You asked as a man looked over.

* “You can obviously tell she’s not African, they’re poor. She’s obviously an American.” He said as Present Mic’s face tightened a bit.

* “Yo, I’m not gonna al-“

* “He’s just a miserable idiot who doesn’t have anything else better to do then to listen to teenagers conversations, obsess over young girls and deal with his shitty life. I suggest you find something else to listen to old man, you wouldn’t know anything about what’s mine even if you had the chance.” Shouta said, leaving you and Midnight speechless.

* “OH! Here’s our stop!” Shirakumo quickly responded, happy to hear the train stop. The fluffy boy pushed his group out as quickly as he could to avoid the anger of the middle aged man.

* His grip on your hand stayed tight, he despised know-it-all’s. Especially the ones who claims that you’re not who you are.

* You’re Y/N, and regardless if your country is rich or not. He’ll always love you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* He hates how ignorant people can act and be with it comes to you.

* He seriously despises it within the highest degree, it makes him want to blast any asshole who THINKS about saying some dumbass shit to you.

* This included his friends or anyone to be exact.

* The Baku-squad was just chilling, relaxing at a restaurant. His arm was slung over your shoulders and you were close to him, looking absolutely adorable in Mina’s eyes.

* Denki was seeing a girl..who’s personality wasn’t necessarily up to par to put it in kind words. But in Bakugo’s term, She was a bitch.

* “I have a question.” She said suddenly, gathering everyone’s attention within the circle booth. “I notice you’re South African right, Y/N? (She said your name wrong.)”

* “Yeah, born and raised before moving here, what’s up?” You questioned.

* “You never really dress like a African, I noticed.” She said as Sero spat his drink back out.

* Kirishima’s eyes snapped wide before he looked towards Bakugo who’s glare was darted at her.

* “I just noticed that, and I-“

* “LET ME EDUCATE YOU ON SOME SHIT, BRITTANY!” Mina said as she slapped her hand on the table. “It’s pronounced Y/N. Say it right or don’t say it at all, Next. Just because she’s from Africa doesn’t mean she should dress like one. You’re from Jaku City but you dress like you’re from America with the absolute bullshit all over you. Third and last, I don’t like you. I don’t give a fuck if you’re Denki’s bitch, don’t ever talk shit to my girl like that ever again, clear?” She said, showing a different side to her that left everyone speechless.

* You smirked, knowing you’ve been teaching her to the secret dark-side that she hardly channels.

* Even though, Bakugo let Mina have this one. The next one we going to be his victim because he’s going to defend for you and your country. He loves that Melanin honey.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* He’s a obvious shy, silent but deadly type. I love him as a character but I can’t fully relate to him like I would with others.

* Probably because I was once like him before I stopped giving a fuck, ANYWAY! Tamaki is a absolute shy sweetheart when it comes to you. He sees and knows the constant questions and random things you’re asked by younger peers or strangers when they find out that you’re South African.

* Just some people..kinda get the wrong ideas sometimes.

* So, You, Mirio, Tamaki and Nejire were heading to your next class, walking with one another while discussing the ideas for the upcoming festival.

* You were apart of the group who saved Eri, you and Mirio basically took care of her and she’s come to love you and Tamaki.

* You loved how adorably shy your dear boyfriend is and how cute he could be with you, especially when it’s just you and him.

* Suddenly, a other classmate appeared and held his phone to you. “Do you know him?” He asked suddenly, showing you a picture of you and Rock Lock, you were assisting him when you the picture was taken.

* “No, I d-“

* “OF COURSE SHE DOES! The know each other! All of them know each other.” His friend said from behind, stepping beside his friend.

* It’s the ignorance for me.

* You were about to say something with Tamaki’s hand touched yours, grabbing it suddenly. “J-J-Just ignore them, B-Bunny.” He whispered to you. He’s extremely humble and refuses to let you suit down to their level. Without saying a word, you walked forward with your boyfriend.

* Guilt suddenly rushed through his veins when he was pulled by you. “I-I didn’t defend for you, I-I-I’m sorry..” he apologized quickly before you smiled.

* “No, you did. You helped me from being suspended or being another racial stereotype, Tama. Thank you.” You reassured, facing him when you two arrived at the door.

* Your soft hands touched each of his cheeks and you pecked his nose, making blush cover his cheeks.

* He loves you more than he thought he could ever, he was afraid to love at first. Each day with you, just..makes his day better each and every time.

* Regardless of your skin, country or even your quirk. You’ll always be perfectly amazing in his eyes. He just has a hard time expressing it at the moment.

[feeling--pink]

My Sweet Ride is an amazing episode of Phineas and Ferb and the only thing bad about it I that I wish we could have seen more people in full out 1950s clothes!! So I did that!! (Also including some MML kids because I love them and don’t draw them enough!)

Anyways!! If y’all want to see me rant about 1950s stuff for a very long time because I had a blast doing research for this project you should click the keep reading!! :D

Okay a quick prelude!! Not only am I going to talk about outfits I designed, but while doing research I was blown away about the attention to detail the original designers had for these outfits and characters so I’m going to talk about their outfits too! :D

Here are my sources if you want to look into this btw!! :D

Candace

Okay I’m going to start out by saying I just adore this outfit

That has nothing to do with anything I just really love it!!

I’m thinking I might make one of my own for Halloween but that’s off-topic

Okay- 1950s clothing!!

Candace is wearing a blouse (?) with a cardigan over the top, and a pleated swing skirt.

This is a classic 1950s girl’s style

More specifically its also a classic “preppy good kid” look

Which Candace absolutely is!!

Y’all should notice that all the skirts are past knee-length, which was standard of the time.

Candace also has a neck scarf, a common accessory, and a headband.

Ribbon headbands were still a thing in the 50s but the hard plastic headband was also coming into style in the later 1950s.

She’s wearing a pair of saddle shoes which were one of the popular options of the time among boys and girls

Her hair is long with curls at the end, another classic teenager look in the 50s!

While short hair was more popular among adult women, teenage girls often kept theirs long with slight curls on the end!

Bangs were also standard, but usually shorter than how I drew them

Sorry that bit’s inaccurate through all of them, it’s just easier for me to draw long!

Finally, in case you had any doubt about Candace’s outfit being time period, here’s an advertisement from the article I read:

Vanessa

To start off we have a blouse and pencil shirt for Vanessa

Pencil and swing skirts were the two most common skirts of the time

She’s also wearing a belt, which I modified slightly to look like-

The wide contour belt on the bottom right!

She’s also wearing a pillbox hat, one of the popular hats of the time!

Hats were generally not worn by teenagers because they were seen as “mature” 

But that fits pretty well with Vanessa’s character

It’s the same story with the pumps, which I also changed lightly to match time period ones a bit more

Now what made me make my original post about the outfits in My Sweet Ride was actually the hair

Specifically, Vanessa’s hair is modeled after the Bettie Page style

This hair wasn’t actually that popular with the masses because it was seen as too simple, not classy, etc.

BUT it was popular among rebel girls in the USA

And like!!!!!! Y’all the designers did SUCH a good job to get down into details like that!!!!!!!!

But yeah her outfit’s great!! Next one!

Stacy

For Stacy, I decided to change things up slightly and give her a dress!

Specifically, it’s a shirtwaist dress, which I modeled after the reference below

Why the shirtwaist dress you may ask? Idk I think they’re neat

I thought it fit the vibe I was going for so I did that one I don’t know what to tell you jkdshsf-

Okay so generally, the belt wouldn’t have been a different color but I wanted to tie the green I used in a little more

Btw sorry I changed her color scheme a bit

I honestly haven’t fully figured out her original color scheme so I modified it a bit so it would look nice for this!

Pastels were very popular in the summer after all

I tried to stick to everyone else’s original color scheme though!

Stacy also has a headband tied up into a bow, which was standard

And to change things up I put her in a ponytail (with the end curled) which was popular with the teens!

Sklsdjhdkj I sound very “how do you do fellow teens“ while writing this that’s unintentional sorry

Shoes are penny loafers, another popular shoe at the time

I liked the little bows on the ends of some of the ones I saw and thought it was very Stacy!

That’s about it for her!

Phineas

This has nothing to do with anything but I love drawing Phineas

He’s just a funky little triangle!! I love him!

I’ll admit here that I didn’t look into men’s hairstyles, so you won’t hear about that from me sorry!

Phineas is wearing a black button-up, standard. 

Black and white matched everything so they were the most common undershirt colors

Over that, he has a jacket that looks to be varsity jacket inspired, which was seen as super cool!

Full jeans were coming into popularity in the 50s but only with the younger generations

Finally, he also has saddle shoes like Candace does

So yeah it’s a solid 1950s outfit!!

Ferb

Ferb’s a greaser, need I say more?

No, really he has everything

The white t-shirt and jeans combo is exactly the greaser look, so much so that most teenagers avoided it to not fall into stereotypes

Tighter fit jeans were coming into style in the later 50s, so that’s also accurate

The leather jacket just amplifies the greaser look

The one thing is that for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what shoes he was wearing

So I gave him a pair of sho-loks and called it a day!

More about sho-loks in Milo’s portion!

Isabella

Isabella makes an appearance with the first (and only) poodle skirt of the group!!

Poodle skirts, while definitely what most people think about when you say the 50s, actually weren’t that popular among teenagers

The embroidered designs were seen as childish, so children and preteens wore them the most

But here’s a fun tidbit you may not have caught from the show, Isabella is, in fact, a child

(I don’t know why I built that up so much sorry ldksjfhkds)

Anyways I decided if I was going to give anyone a classic poodle skirt it might as well be Isabella!

I modeled it after this poodle skirt:

She’s also wearing a blouse with a peter pan collar, the most popular collar of the time

Another headband tied into a bow because it’s Isabella I had to give her a bow

Standard belt (nothing really to say about that)

And another pair of penny loafers with little bows because they’re cute gosh darn it!

Milo

Okay, I’ve been writing for a while but honestly a lot of the rest of these I just drew directly from reference so…

I did say I would talk about shu-loks here though and I will!!!

Now we know Milo is shoelace-adverse

And while there are plenty of slip-on options I found the shu-lok to be fascinating!!

As you can see above, the tongue snaps down to keep the shoe on your foot!! Isn’t that cool? :D

So yeah I gave Milo those!!  

Zack

We know Zack plays football so I gave him your standard sporty outfit

Sorry I just find girls outfits infinitely more interesting so I kinda focused on those skjhgfdss

Oh! I do have something to say here!!

Converse were your typical sports shoe for the 50s so he has those!! Almost forgot that tidbit!!

Yeah, thick soles with wrinkles and stuff were seen as cool among teens so they got popular!

Melissa

Finally, we have some patterned pants!!

Yeah- checkers, plaid, stripes, polka dots, etc. were all very popular!!

I just didn’t want to draw them a lot ‘cause it’s hard sksfjdhgs-

But I gave Melissa checkers because it would get the black and white of her color scheme and I liked the way the checkered pants looked!!

Girls did wear pants at the time by the way!!

During summer and weekends mostly since they weren’t allowed to wear them to school

Short-sleeved turtle necks were also a thing and I thought that combo would look neat!!

Also, converse because it went with the outfit and that’s kinda what she’s wearing in the show!

Hair in a ponytail and side part bangs, both popular!

Yeah okay, that’s about it for Melissa!

Amanda

By this point, y’all are hopefully getting the gist of 50s fashion so we’re going fast now

Blouse, swing skirt, penny loafers (different style but still penny loafers), headband

(here’s what I modeled the whole thing after:)

I do want to mention the pullover sweater because I thought I should include one and I really like the flower embroidery on them

Then finally we come to her hair!! I already mentioned the headband but I was specifically modeling her hair in the pageboy style which looks like this:

Obviously, it looks a little stylized but what can you do?

And that’s it!! I had so much fun doing research and designing this and I think they all turned out pretty good!! I’m going to do more go this in the futures so if there's someone in particular you’d like to see let me know!! I’m planning on doing Cavendish, Dakota, and Sara at least in the next batch!!

a ghost?! | caramel lattes | your favorite regular

-

There were two things that you learned from living your college life. One, you definitely weren’t a morning person, and two, your roommate was a ghost. 

Not literally. The thing was just that you had never formally met them; when you moved in, they weren’t home, and when you would wake up in the afternoons, they would already be long gone and out of the house. Your schedules never lined up with each other, so for the past few weeks, you’ve just been barely missing them, not even knowing their name. 

You didn’t mind, really. The apartment was kept clean at all times, so it really did feel like only you lived there sometimes. But, you can say: if your roommate was a ghost, then they were the loudest ghost. Ever.

It was just your luck to be paired with them, too; they would be up at the crack of dawn, most times even earlier. You’d often wake up in the mornings to music playing or their (you’re sure you can say her) voice singing along. If you were being honest, the latter was your preferred way of waking up. She did have a wonderful voice, and you wished you could get yourself out of bed to tell her that; but she just woke up way, way too early. 

Today was another one of those days. Music was blasting in the background, yet another replay of “Call Me Maybe.” 

Ugh, god... you raised your head at the rude awakening, squinting your eyes at the door. Not this song again.

Based on what little you knew about your roommate, you had an image in your head of what she may look like. To put it short, you imagined a sorority girl, in a way. The type that dance and sing along to pop songs, dresses in tank tops and jeans, partying everyday, that sort of thing. You figured that maybe she didn’t party a lot though, considering she was already home and sleeping when you would walk through the front door. 

You let your head drop back into your pillow. You were too groggy and beat from work the night before that you blocked out the song, blocked out your roommate’s singing, and fell soundly asleep once again as her music faded out the front door and into the hallways of your apartment. Jeez, that girl needed some headphones.

When you woke up a few hours later, the apartment was silent. There was a sigh of relief from you, and you groaned as you stretched your entire body out. Class started in about an hour and a half, so you decided not to laze around in bed and instead get ready for the day.

When you walked into the kitchen to grab something quick to eat on your way to campus, you smelled something delicious. Sniffing the air, you smelled... something spicy? 

Sure enough, when you walked inside, there was a pan of tteokbokki sitting right on the stove. The aroma of the spiciness itself made your mouth water the closer you got to it- then, you saw a note next to it, sitting right under a bottle of water.

Good morning, roomie! I heard you come home late last night, (not that I was trying to be a stalker, but I couldn’t sleep so I was still up when you got back. Crazy, right?) Anyway, I figured you didn’t eat because I didn’t hear you in the kitchen, so I made extra tteokbokki this morning for you to take with you. I made it a little too spicy, so make sure you grab the water too!!

Your eyebrows raised higher the further down you read the note. She made you breakfast? And packed you a water? 

How sweet of her, you smiled. You wasted no time in scooping a whole bunch of the delicious rice cakes onto a plate and devouring every single piece. (She was right, though, it was super spicy.) 

That was really sweet of her. I should do something for her, too. I feel bad that I haven’t thought to even leave a note. And PC, huh? I wonder what that could stand for. I should make a mental note to ask. 

After eating and cleaning everything up, you realized that you wasted a little too much time in your own head and was running a bit behind schedule. You grabbed the water bottle quickly and ran as fast as you could out the door, into the elevator, and out the main lobby of your apartment. You didn’t even notice the blonde haired girl you almost ran into along the way.

When you were finished with your school day, you always dreaded having to go to work afterwards. Not that it was a terrible job, you were just a barista at a café near campus, after all- but you would be tired and drained after pulling afternoon to closing shifts.

So there you stood, leaning against the counter top at your job as you sipped away at a small cup of espresso. You and your coworkers chatted absentmindedly. It wasn’t too busy tonight, except for a few straggling students that stayed to study. Your manager had even offered to let you go home early, but you decided you needed the money- you were practically getting paid to stand around, anyway.

The bell on the door jingled after what seemed like hours (and maybe it was). Your coworkers, all clowns, hid away from the incoming group of customers and shuffled behind the counters, leaving you to take care of them all. You glared at them and groaned internally, but that was the rules of a college student barista. If you’re not fast enough to hide, you face the consequences.

“Hey, guys,” you put on your smile as you approached the register, “what can I get for you tonight?”

When the girls got closer, you were glad that your hat was a bit too big for your head. It covered the burning read at the top of your ears at the sight of how pretty they were— all four of them, to be exact.

One of the shorter ones smiled back at you. “Hiii,” she greeted, “do you guys know what you want?”

The redhead of the group spoke up first. “Yes, can I just have a tea, please?” She turned to the other girls, “I noticed that my voice has been kind of raspy from rehearsal. I hope it’s nothing serious.”

You minded your own business as you punched in the order. “Of course, and for you?” You looked at the tall brunette, who was squinting at the menu board. You had to hide a laugh as you slid a smaller menu to her. “Here you go, our menu is printed kind of small.”

“Oh my gosh, thank you,” she laughed and took the menu in her hands. The shorter one that spoke earlier laughed too and simply pushed the brunette’s hands down. 

“Can we just get two large white mochas, please?” 

You smiled as you punched in that order too. “Of course.” You now turned to the final girl of the group, who stood silently, staring back and forth at the pastries in the case and the menu board. “For you, miss?”

When she looked up at you, you froze. 

Wow, she was cute. 

She smiled at you so sweetly, brushing her blonde hair behind her ear. “Um, yes please, can I get all of the vanilla scones that are in here? Oh, and a caramel latte, please.”

Just from eyeballing the case, there were at least 10, if not a couple more scones in there. You glanced at her with a humorous smile and nodded. “Yeah, no problem.”

As you punched in the order, you made sure that you only rang her up for four scones. It was almost near closing time anyway (you told yourself that, but really you still had a couple hours left), and you didn’t want to have to waste any pastries. 

“Can I have your guys’ names for your drinks?” You popped the tip off of your sharpie. 

The redhead, again, spoke first. “Jisoo.” 

Then went the brunette. “Lisa,” she then pointed to the shorter one, “Jennie.”

Lastly, you turned to the blonde. Again, she smiled, and nodded when she spoke. “Rosé.”

Such a pretty name, you thought to yourself. You made it a point to draw a little flower next to her name, just for funsies. You let them know that their drinks would be ready soon, and you gathered all the scones in the case for the girl to have.

The girls didn’t notice the price difference at first when they paid. After calling out their names for their orders, it wasn’t until they sat down at their table with their drinks and snacks that they realized something was off. 

It was Rosé who came back up to the counter as you were wiping it down. 

“Um, hi,” she spoke softly as if not to surprise you, “I’m sorry, but I think there may have been a mistake?”

You looked up at her from the counter with raised eyebrows. “Oh, I’m sorry. Was your drink wrong?”

“No, not at all! It’s great,” she shook her head and showed her bag of scones, “but, um, I think you mischarged me for these.”

Ah, so she did notice. “No miss, that’s okay,” you laughed at her innocence and honesty. Her face even looked worried just from you saying that. “We’re going to be closing in a couple hours anyway, and to be honest, the scones can be a bit overpriced when you buy a lot. Don’t worry about it.”

Her eyebrows were furrowed in the cutest way possible. “But— are you sure? You won’t get in trouble?”

“I’m sure, I’m sure. It’s fine, really miss.”

“Aww... well, thank you—” she beamed and squinted at your name tag, “Joy.”

Aw, shit. You internally slapped yourself in the face, I put on the wrong apron. 

Of all days to be talking to a cute girl, you weren’t even wearing the right apron with the right name tag. You really didn’t want to have to explain yourself and essentially embarrass both you and the girl right now, and you were quite frankly a bit shy already from talking to her for as long as you have. So you just smiled back. “It’s no problem, Rosé.”

With a giggle, the girl turned back around and hopped over to her table, where you could hear her recounting your conversation. You chuckled.

As your shift went on, the students inside the café began to disperse and pack up their bags to head home. One of the last students to leave was the group of girls you served earlier, and they even made sure to call out “bye, Joy!” as they left. Your coworkers looked at you funny but ended up laughing at your awkwardness once they realized your mistake.

“Oh, come on, y/n!” One of your best coworkers, Seulgi, laughed, “Now you’re gonna be known as Joy to them! Joy is not going to be happy.”

“Look, man, I didn’t wanna correct her, alright??” You sighed and palmed your forehead, “I got nervous!”

“Ah, well,” your other coworker Yeri shrugged, “at least you may not see her again. So you don’t have to be too embarrassed.”

Your shoulders dropped at the sound of that. You may not see her again? Boo. 

Your closing shift went by smoothly and before you knew it, you were walking through the threshold of your already dark apartment. You saw that your roommate’s door was closed and her light off, but her shoes were on the shoe rack, so you knew she was already sleeping. 

You almost went straight to your room to knock out before remembering what your roommate did for you this morning. You didn’t want to just leave her hanging and make yourself seem ungrateful, so you grabbed a post-it note and a pen.

Hi there, roomie, you began, thank you for the tteokbokki this morning! It was delicious, actually, and I only needed a few gulps of water between each bite. (lol, i’m just teasing, it really was good. i love spicy food.) i’m not sure if you like flavorings in your coffee, let alone if you like coffee or not, but here’s some for you for the morning, since you’re usually up earlier than me. you can use any of my coffee cups, i have way too many.

- y/n

After setting up the coffee machine to brew in the early morning, you stuck the note on top and dragged yourself into your room to get ready for bed. 

-

The next morning, you woke up to silence. No music, no singing, nothing. And it wasn’t early in the morning- it was the usual time you yourself would get up and out of bed.

Huh? you wondered, This feels... unnatural.

You got yourself out of bed and ready for your day as you normally would. You walked into the kitchen for your usual breakfast of coffee and a single granola bar, when you saw yet another note waiting for you on the kitchen table.

it’s no problem at all! i almost thought you hated the tteokbokki when i didn’t see any feedback when i got home. TT TT it’s so funny that we haven’t even met yet. btw, i’m sorry i’m loud in the mornings, i never realized how late you got home every night. i’ll let you sleep in more. :) and you’re so sweet, thank you for letting me use one of your cups, and thank you for the coffee this morning :)

p.s, just so you know a fact about me too, i love caramel in my coffees.
