Aladdin: When Iâm sultan, you guys will be out of the job as the Royal Guards after following Jafarâs âordersâ to drown me.
Jasmine: (sternly glaring at Razoul and the guards) And donât forget the time that Jafar tricked them by using his magic to impersonate me into having them believe you had murdered Father. And for when they tried to execute you under his âordersâ. đ
Fazal, Hakim & Nahbi: đŹđ„đ
Razoul: Not when Iâm still Captain of the Royal Guards.
Aladdin: Well, in that case, youâre fired.
Razoul: Nice try, but only the Sultan can do that! đ€
Jasmine: Well, since Aladdin and I are married, that makes him your prince and the future sultan.
Aladdin: Yeah, that means you have to do whatever I tell you đ
Razoul: đłđł!!
Fazal, Hakim & Nahbi: đ„đđźâđš

one 100 word email written with ai costs roughly one bottle of water to produce. the discussion of whether or not using ai for work is lazy becomes a non issue when you understand there is no ethical way to use it regardless of your intentions or your personal capabilities for the task at hand
with all due respect, this isnt true. *training* generative ai takes a ton of power, but actually using it takes about as much energy as a google search (with image generation being slightly more expensive). we can talk about resource costs when averaged over the amount of work that any model does, but its unhelpful to put a smokescreen over that fact. when you approach it like an issue of scale (i.e. "training ai is bad for the environment, we should think better about where we deploy it/boycott it/otherwise organize abt this) it has power as a movement. but otherwise it becomes a personal choice, moralizing "you personally are harming the environment by using chatgpt" which is not really effective messaging. and that in turn drives the sort of "you are stupid/evil for using ai" rhetoric that i hate. my point is not whether or not using ai is immoral (i mean, i dont think it is, but beyond that). its that the most common arguments against it from ostensible progressives end up just being reactionary
i like this quote a little more- its perfectly fine to have reservations about the current state of gen ai, but its not just going to go away.
#i also generally agree with the genie in the bottle metaphor. like ai is here#ai HAS been here but now it is a llm gen ai and more accessible to the average user#we should respond to that rather than trying to. what. stop development of generative ai? forever?#im also not sure that the ai industry is particularly worse for the environment than other resource intense industries#like the paper industry makes up about 2% of the industrial sectors power consumption#which is about 40% of global totals (making it about 1% of world total energy consumption)#current ai energy consumption estimates itll be at .5% of total energy consumption by 2027#every data center in the world meaning also everything that the internet runs on accounts for about 2% of total energy consumption#again you can say ai is a unnecessary use of resources but you cannot say it is uniquely more destructive

think about things â fushiguro toji.
âI donât want to mess this up, babe.â he finally admitted, the words coming out in a low, almost reluctant rumble. âI donât want to mess him up. I donât want to be like my father, babe. I wanna be a good father to him. I want to love him so much and I justâŠ.â Your heart ached at the rawness in his voice, at the vulnerability he rarely let show. You stepped closer, wrapping your arms around his middle and pressing your cheek against his chest. For a moment, he stiffened. He always did, as though he wasnât quite used to comfortâbut then he relaxed, his arms circling around you. âYou wonât mess him up, baby.â you said softly. âYou love him. You wonât end up like your father. You love Megumi, he is our treasure. Thatâs why you love him. Thatâs what matters most. And youâre trying. Thatâs more than enough.â

FUSHIGURO TOJI THINKS HEâS NEVER BELIEVED IN WONDER. From the moment he was born, such a thing did not exist. Not even his mother believed it. Not even when he was born. But he thinks that after her sufferings, he wouldn't doubt it that he too inherited such grief and pain too.
Even having grown up in a sorcerer clan, where he saw things that could make anyone go in awe â nothing about it had made him feel like there was anything worth the thought. Nothing about being a Zenin was worth wondering or for that matter, worth remembering.Â
But everything after that, especially when you came into his life, did he think they were possible. That wonders did exist in this life and he could have it. He was worth having. He was worth giving such wonders to.
And everything about wonder, he had learned from you. Every sense of the word, the texture, the taste, the feeling. Everything started when he met you. Every good thing sprung into life, like spring, when he met you.Â
Fushiguro Toji believed that each person has only truly had three special wonders in their lives, nothing more and nothing less. It was almost something out of a genieâs lamp. Three wishes, three gifts, three wonders.
And Toji likes to think that heâs used up all his three wonders. But he was alright with that. He liked to think that he was content with having used it up. Because everything about his life now consisted of those three wonders.Â
The first was when he first saw you, and then smiled at him so warmly. The second was when you agreed to marry him and spend the rest of your life with him. And the third? Oh, nothing could ever beat the third. That day when you made him a father, the day when your precious son Megumi was born into this world.Â
Toji couldnât help but stay there for a moment, his large frame silhouetted against the soft light spilling in from the hallway. He didnât dare move too quickly or too loudly, worried that even the smallest disturbance might wake his precious son Megumi. And yet, despite the quiet, his mind was anything but still.
He had fought the worst of the worst in life, faced death more times than he could count, and lived a life dictated by survival. But none of that had prepared him for this: the weight of fatherhood.
Not the kind of weight that came from responsibility or the logistical burdens of raising a child. No, this was heavier. This was the realization that he was holding the entirety of someone elseâs future in his calloused, scarred hands.
When Fushiguro Megumi had first been placed in his arms at the hospital, Toji had frozen. The baby was impossibly small, a bundle wrapped in a soft blanket that felt foreign against his skin.
Toji had stared down at the little face, this precious little face and saw that little face be endlessly red and then pale. He saw that face turn red again as the features scrunched up and echo into those heart-wrenching fits of crying.Â
For a split second, all he could admit to was his heart racing so fast against his chest. He was nothing but panicked. Toji never thought he would ever end up finding himself terrified of something.
He was terrified that he couldnât stop his baby from crying. He was terrified of how small he was, and how big his hands could be to hold something as precious as this little boy. Just as fast, Toji had ended up thinking about all the things he didnât know: how to soothe him, how to feed him, how to even hold him properly.
He didnât know how to. How does a father look tenderly at his baby son and tell him itâs going to be alright? How does a father let his voice be the calmest and quietest comfort in the world? How does a father have soft kind hands with such scarred, brutish hands?
Toji couldnât help it but he stood there, holding the most precious wonder in life and had just as quickly thought of all the ways he might fail â panicked and afraid, wondering if there was ever going to be a chance that heâll end up doing well. That heâd end up doing right by this precious wonder, this precious treasure.Â
But now, almost eight months later, Fushiguro Toji stood here watching his son sleep, something shifted.
His little Megumiâs tiny fingers twitched again, his expression relaxing into something peaceful. He was so precious in this way, Toji thinks. The world stops and becomes a bright wonder for his son.
Tojiâs lips quivered into a crooked smile, a tender warmth spreading through his chest that he hadnât known ever existed before heâd had his little boy, his precious treasure. He crouched down, resting his forearms on the edge of the crib, and let his voice drop to a murmur, as though speaking too loudly might shatter the moment.
âYouâre so small still, hm?â he said softly, almost as if confessing to the baby. âSmaller than I thought. And yet you are growing so much. Even bigger than back at the hospital, when you were born. But... I guess itâs cos youâre a big boy already, arenât you? Our Megumiâs already growing, huh? Doinâ everything you could to be stronger.âÂ
For a moment, he couldnât help but hesitate as his fingers brushed against Megumiâs back. His little son moved slightly, against the touch. He must know his father was here. But Toji felt weary about waking his little son up.
He was up for a while, and only just fell asleep a while ago. But Megumi went back soundly to sleep. And Toji felt some relief. His precious boy is going to get some rest tonight.
âHey âgumi. Iâm gonna be here, okay? Not like my father.â His voice felt thicker at those words, despite the fact that Every step of the way. I donât know if Iâm good at this... but Iâll try, kid. Iâll always try.â
The words came out unpolished, unpracticed, but there was a rawness in them that surprised even him. Toji never thought of himself as the sentimental type, but Megumi had a way of drawing things out of him that he didnât even know were there.
Maybe it was the way your little son had come to look like you, or maybe it was the undeniable fact that your precious treasure named Fushiguro Megumi was part of himâa part he didnât know he could love so much.
As he continued to watch, Megumi stirred again, this time letting out a tiny sound that made Tojiâs chest ache. He reached out hesitantly, his hand hovering over the crib for a moment before finally brushing against the babyâs blanket-covered chest. It was a small, tentative gesture, but it felt monumental.
âI donât know what youâll think about the world, or me one day, you know?â Toji murmured, his voice almost a whisper now. âBut I want to know. Someday, when youâre big enough to talk, Iâll listen. To every little thing. And until then... Iâll keep trying to figure this out.â
The babyâs breathing deepened, a soft sigh escaping him, and Toji let out a breath he hadnât realized he was holding. He straightened, glancing down at Megumi. The truth was, Toji had never expected to live a life where someone else depended on him.Â
Heâd grown up in a world where strength was currency, where attachments were liabilities, and where survival meant keeping your guard up at all costs. That was how it was when you were born a Zenin. No ifs, no buts.
He had lived in the shadows of loss and anger for so long that the idea of something so beautiful and uncorrupted and pure, something as delicate and innocent as his precious treasure Megumiâfelt almost impossible to comprehend. And for that pure existence to be born from him, because of him.Â
Toji couldnât help but feel like it wasnât real. That something with such a cursed existence as him could ever have something like happiness. And yet, here he was. His precious son, born out of love between you and him. And he could see him.Â
Even now as heâs standing outside that room, chest tight with a strange combination of fear and determination â he convinces himself that his son was here, his precious son was here, because he loved him. Because he loved you. And he deserves this. This was the life he deserves. He always will.Â
For a moment, he closes his eyes and takes a breath. Before long, he whispers a good-night to his little one and flees to the living room, just near his sonâs room. If Megumi gets hungry, heâll bring him some of your milk stock from the fridge. There was no reason to wake you. You still had work later. Â
He goes to the couch and closes his eyes again. He had to go and get some rest here. If he comes back to bed, he might be too loud when he gets back in. And heâd want to be there quickly if Megumi needed anything. Thatâs what he was here for, as your loving house-husband. But he finds that he canât sleep.Â
Even now, he still canât help but feel restless. What if he gets too much sleep and he doesnât wake up? He had to make you and Megumi breakfast in the morning too. He opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling before a soft voice pulled him from his thoughts.
âToji? Baby?â
It was you, standing a few steps away, wrapped in the oversized robe you always wore around the house. Your hair was slightly mussed, your face soft with the haze of sleep, but your eyes were sharp, focused. You must have noticed the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw clenched and unclenched as though he was wrestling with himself.
âIs everything okay?â you asked, voice gentle but edged with concern.
Toji turned to look at you, his expression unreadable for a moment. Then, with a small, almost sheepish shrug, he nodded. âYeah. Heâs asleep.â
You stepped closer, your hand finding its way to his arm. Your touch was grounding, and Toji found himself leaning into it without realizing. âYouâre sure? You look... tense.â
He huffed a quiet laugh, shaking his head. âTense, huh? Guess thatâs not wrong.â He glanced back at the door, his voice dropping to something softer, more vulnerable. âI was just... thinking.â
âAbout?â
âAbout him.â His blueâgreen eyes met yours briefly before flickering away, as though the weight of his thoughts was too much to share directly. âI donât know what the hell Iâm doing, you know? I look at him, and... heâs so small. So... breakable. And Iââ
He stopped, biting back the words, his brows furrowing. You squeezed his arm gently, waiting for him to find the rest of his sentence. You knew that your husband has had a lot of concern about being a father.
Heâs told you some of what heâd experienced as a child, and sometimes about his father. But not everything. So, this was the first time youâve heard things from him personally, this loud and this vulnerable. Your face contorts at his pain.
âI donât want to mess this up, babe.â he finally admitted, the words coming out in a low, almost reluctant rumble. âI donât want to mess him up. I donât want to be like my father, babe. I wanna be a good father to him. I want to love him so much and I justâŠ.â
Your heart ached at the rawness in his voice, at the vulnerability he rarely let show. You stepped closer, wrapping your arms around his middle and pressing your cheek against his chest. For a moment, he stiffened. He always did, as though he wasnât quite used to comfortâbut then he relaxed, his arms circling around you.
âYou wonât mess him up, baby.â you said softly. âYou love him. You wonât end up like your father. You love Megumi, he is our treasure. Thatâs why you love him. Thatâs what matters most. And youâre trying. Thatâs more than enough.â
He let out another shaky breath, his chin resting lightly on the top of your head. âTrying doesnât feel like enough,â he muttered. âNot for him. He deserves... more.â
âHe deserves you, baby.â you corrected, pulling back just enough to look up at him. âThe you whoâs here, whoâs holding him, whoâs promising to be there. Thatâs all he needs. Thatâs all we both need.â
For a long moment, Fushiguro Toji just stared at you, his blue-green eyes searching your own bright orbs as though trying to find something he couldnât quite name. Finally, he nodded, a small, almost imperceptible dip of his head. His face looked a little bit more relaxed, with your reassurance.
âYeahâŠ..â he said quietly. âOkay.â
You smiled, reaching up to brush a strand of hair out of his face. âCome on. Letâs get some rest. Youâll need your energy when he wakes up in the middle of the night.â
âBabe, I should stay hereââ
âNo, no. You have super hearing, baby. You can get up when he wakes up. Come on, stop being a helicopter parent already and let our son sleep.â
Toji groaned softly at your words, but there was a faint smirk tugging at his lips as he let you guide him down the hall. For now, he would take things one moment at a time. One step at a time.
Because for all the uncertainty, for all the fears that lingered in the back of his mind, one thing was clear: he had a family now. A real one. And for them, Fushiguro Toji would do anything.
ââââââââââââââââââ
YOUR MATERNAL LEAVE IS FINALLY OVER. So in a way, the house was quieter now. Quieter than Fushiguro Toji had expected it to be with a growing baby around, though the stillness wasnât something he disliked.
And with how youâd gone back to work today, leaving him to take care of Megumi for the first time on his own. So Fushiguro Toji was certain, he was going to have all hands on deck.Â
Heâd joked about it before you left, tossing off some comments about how hard it could be. But now, standing in the living room with his tiny son in his arms, he was realizing it was more daunting than he let on.
Heâd had you around the house for a long while and he had gotten used to it. He had become a rusty houseâhusband and more so, an already rusty father.
Fushiguro Megumi couldnât help but fuss a little, with his little face scrunching up in that telltale way that meant a cry wasnât far behind.
Toji sighed a little, looking softly at his precious boy as he shifted him gently, cradling him against his chest and bouncing on his heels like heâd seen you do a hundred times before.
âHey, âgumi. Easy, okay?â he murmured, his voice low and soothing. âI gotcha. No need to get all worked up.â
Megumi quieted, though his tiny fists still curled and uncurled against Tojiâs shirt. Toji looked down at him, his expression softening. Tired as he was, he was always content when he looked at his son. Everything pays off.
It wasnât often he let himself feel thisâthis quiet kind of contentment. But when he was holding Megumi, feeling his warmth and hearing his little breaths, it was impossible not to. Everything Toji does, everything you both do; itâs all for Megumi.
âToji?â Youâd asked that morning, lingering by the door as you prepared to leave. âAre you sure youâll be okay?â
âMe?â heâd scoffed, smirking. âIâve handled worse than a baby, you know. Iâd be fine with our son, babe. Trust me.â
But now, hours later, Toji found himself pacing the living room, humming softly under his breath to keep Megumi calm. A melody came to him,something his mother used to sing. It was very rare for his mother to hold him for that long, that heâd remember. But sheâd held him enough to hum melodies to him. Those were Tojiâs first memories.
They werenât overcomplicated tunes, if one was to hear it. If anything, they were the kind you donât think about too hardâsomething simple, warm, and steady. But sometimes, heâd remember the lyrics. And Toji would find that those words would stir something in his little son, as much as they do for him, remembering his own mother.
Toji didnât know if his voice was good enough to be heard, or to be enjoyed in a song. But Megumi seems to not mind his voice. If anything, little Megumi seems to be fond of his voice. And Toji relished that thought. He might not be the best in the world in singing, but heâs glad that at the very least, it comforts his son.
âWhen we are togetherâŠ.â he sang quietly, his deep voice surprisingly tender. âThere isnât anywhere that I would rather be.â
Megumi stirred, his dark blueâgreen orbs tiredly blinking up at his father, and Toji couldnât help but smile softly at the sight. He kept rocking his little boy gently, the words of the song coming easier now, as though they belonged to this moment.
âThree birds of a featherâŠ..â he continued, his lips quivering in a half-smile, memories of his mother flooding his mind. âI just hope you enjoy our company.â
His little son couldnât help but gurgle softly at his words, and Toji took that as a good sign, his confidence growing. He walked to the large window overlooking the bright flourishing garden he had planted and let the beckoning sunlight spill over them both.
âItâs been some time and though hard to define, as if the stars have started to alignâŠâ He continued to sing softly. Toji looked down at Megumi again, his expression uncharacteristically gentle. âWe are bound together, now and forever. And I will never let you go.â
His little baby boy cooed, his little hand reaching up to grasp at the fabric of Tojiâs tight shirt. Toji stilled, staring at the tiny fingers that clung to him as though Megumi understood every word heâd just sung. He couldnât help but snicker.
âYeah, you and me, kid.â he murmured. âAnd mama, too. Never forget your precious mama, hm? Weâre always going to be three birds of a feather, okay?â
The quiet stretched on as Toji carried Megumi back to the couch, easing down into the cushions while keeping the baby close. He thought about you, about how hard it must have been for you to leave this morning, even though you tried to hide it. He thought about how much you trusted him to take care of Megumi, how much faith you had in him to do right by your son.
And as the baby drifted off to sleep in his arms, Fushiguro Toji felt it againâthat strange, overwhelming sense of belonging. It wasnât something heâd sought out, and it sure as hell wasnât something he thought he deserved. But as he sat there, holding Megumi, he realized that this was it. This was everything.
When you returned home later that day from work, you were tired. But you couldnât stop smiling. As you got closer inside you found them both on the couch. Your husband Toji was leaning back, his head tilted to the side, dozing lightly. Your treasure, little Megumi, was nestled against his fatherâs chest, his little hand still clutching at Tojiâs shirt.
You stood there for a moment, your heart swelling at the sight, and whispered. âThree birds of a feather, all three of us. Just like you said, huh, baby?â
And though Toji didnât stir, a faint smile tugged at his lips, as if heâd heard you all the same. You stepped closer, the quiet creak of the floorboards barely stirring the peaceful scene in front of you. Tojiâs chest rose and fell steadily, his broad arms wrapped protectively around Megumi.Â
Your heart swelled as you watched them, a moment of stillness in your otherwise chaotic world. It wasnât a sight youâd ever imagined when you first met Toji, but now, it felt like the most natural thing in the world.
Careful not to wake either of them, you crouched by the couch and reached out, gently brushing your fingers through Megumiâs soft hair. His tiny face was relaxed, his mouth slightly open in the kind of sleep only babies seemed to achieve. Your gaze shifted to Toji, his sharp features softened by the faint glow of the setting sun spilling through the window.
âToji, baby.â you whispered, keeping your voice low. âIâm home.â
His bright blueâgreen eyes cracked open, the colors of his irises catching the light. He blinked slowly, as if pulling himself out of a dream, and then his gaze landed on you. He processed the world and it stopped when he looked at you. Like when he met you. A small, lazy smile crept onto your husbandâs beautiful lips.
âHey, babe.â he murmured, his voice rough from sleep. âYouâre back. Welcome home.â
You nodded, your fingers still brushing over Megumiâs hair. âHow was it? Your first day as the primary stay at home parent for the first time?â
Toji huffed a quiet laugh, shifting slightly without jostling Megumi. âDidnât burn the place down, did I?â
You grinned, leaning your chin on the edge of the couch. âI donât see any scorch marks at all, baby. Iâd say thatâs a win.â
He snorted softly, but there was a flicker of something deeper in his expressionâsomething vulnerable. âHeâs⊠a lot quieter than I thought heâd be. Iâd always thought that young kids would be like that butâŠ.Megumi spent most of the day just watching me like I was some kind of puzzle he was trying to figure out.â
âThatâs Megumi for you, you know?â you said, your smile softening. âHeâs always been observant. Like someone else I know.â
Toji raised a brow, but he didnât argue. Instead, he looked down at the baby in his arms, his hand shifting to rest against Megumiâs back. For a moment, he was silent, and then he spoke, his voice quieter this time.
âHeâs a good kid, our little âgumi.â he said, almost to himself. âHe doesnât even cry much. Just stares at me like heâs waiting for me to say something smart.â
You laughed softly, careful not to wake the baby. âAnd did you?â
âCourse not, babe.â he muttered, though the corner of his mouth twitched. âBut I⊠I talked to him. Sang, too.â
Your eyes widened slightly. You slowly smiled. You loved your husbandâs voice too. And you were certain that your love for his voice was transported to your son too. âYou sang to him, baby?â
Toji rolled his eyes, though a faint blush crept up his neck. âDonât make a big deal out of it, babe. He seemed to like it, thatâs all.â
Your heart melted at the thought of Toji singing to Megumi, his deep voice wrapping around words meant only for his son. You reached out, your hand covering his where it rested on Megumiâs back.
âYouâre doing great, baby.â you said softly. âYou know that, right? Iâm so proud of you.â
He glanced at you, his expression guarded for a moment before it softened. âIâm just⊠figuring it out as I go. Donât wanna mess this up.â
âYou wonât, baby. Iâm certain about your success.â you assured him. âNot with how much you care about him.â
Toji didnât respond right away, but his grip on Megumi tightened slightly, as if to anchor himself. After a moment, he nodded, his gaze dropping back to the sleeping baby. He lets out a relieved sigh before letting a small smile echo on his lips.
âYeah, I guess so.â he murmured. âWeâre figuring it out. The three of us.â
âThree birds of a feather, you told me before.â you said quietly, the words slipping out before you could think about it. âWeâll figure it all out.â
Tojiâs lips echoed into a bigger smile, and he glanced at you, his green eyes warm. âYeah. That sounds about right.â
As the sun dipped lower, casting a golden glow over the room, you stayed there by the couch, your hand resting over his. It wasnât perfect, and it wouldnât always be easy.
But as you looked at the two of them, your husband and your son, you felt the stars aligning. You were bound together, now and forever. And none of you would ever let go.
ââââââââââââââââââ
TODAY WAS A DAY OFF. So Toji had let you doze off for a little while longer. He thought that with how you were trying to still settle with balancing life as a new mother and also a career woman, it takes a toll on you.
And more than anything, you deserve a chance to have some chance to just relax. So, you hadnât noticed how long you had actually slept until you saw the clock by your bedside table. 10:30 am. You sat up immediately.
The moment you stepped out of your room, you tried to be as quiet as possible. A smile echoes across your lips as you find yourself stopping and listening for a moment. You could hear Tojiâs deep voice coming from the living room.
It had that playful lilt he used only with Megumiâlow and teasing, with just a hint of childish mockery. You smiled to yourself as you moved toward the source of the commotion.
In the living room, you found the two of them on the floor. Your two boys had a little bubble of their own. And you suspect that they've had that bubble since before dawn. Megumi gets angsty and wakes up at that time, wanting some milk.
Your husband Toji was sitting cross-legged, Megumi perched in front of him on a soft play mat. Your sonâs little face was scrunched up in what could only be described as a glare, his tiny fists clenched at his sides. Your husband Toji, still rather oblivious to the budding storm brewing in his child, was grinning like an idiot.
âMegumi, hey..... kidâŠ.whatâs that look for?â Toji was saying, leaning down so their faces were at the same level. âWhatâs with that intense focus, huh? You pooping or what? You gotta let papa know, so he can prepare. Your poop goes nuclear, you know that? Papa smells it on his hands even after he washes, hm?â
Megumi let out a frustrated sound, his little glare intensifying, which only made Toji laugh harder. âYeah, youâre definitely working on something, arenât you? Whatâs it gonna be, huh? A big one?â
âGomi!â Megumi suddenly blurted, his little voice sharp and determined as he glared daggers at his father.
Fushiguro Toji couldnât help but freeze up. He found himself blinking in surprise. For a moment, the world stood still as he tried to process what his little son just said, as perhaps â his very first word. Â
âWhat?â he asked, tilting his head like heâd misheard. âDid you just call me gomi?â
You couldnât hold back your laugh anymore, clutching the wall for support as you doubled over. The absurdity of the situation, paired with Tojiâs stunned expression, was too much.Your son was always so full of surprises.Â
âOh my god, babyâŠ..he called you trash!â you managed between laughs.
Toji turned his wide-eyed gaze to you, his mouth opening and closing like he was trying to figure out how to defend himself. âHey, wait a minute! I donât think he meantââ
âGomi!â Megumi said again, louder this time, pointing a tiny finger at his father. His glare hadnât wavered in the slightest, his baby cheeks puffed out in sheer indignation.
âI swear to the heavens aboveâŠâ Toji said, now more flustered than youâd ever seen him. âIâm not gomi! What the hell, kid?!â
Still laughing, you finally found your balance from the laughing fits. You walked over and lowered yourself as you scooped Megumi into your arms, kissing his head as his tiny arms flailed indignantly. Your husbandâs frown was evident frustration.Â
âI donât think our sonâs not calling you trash, baby.â you said, wiping a tear from your eye. âHeâs trying to say goma. Sesame. Heâs been seeing it in TV commercials when I feed him some milk these past few nights. He might have caught up with it and babbled it andâŠit just didnât end up as translated.â
Toji stared at you, then at Megumi, who was now nestled against your chest, still glaring at him like heâd committed the ultimate betrayal. âSesame?â Toji repeated, frowning. âWhy the hell is he glaring at me, then?â
âMaybe because you keep asking him if heâs pooping, baby.â you said with a grin, bouncing Megumi lightly to calm him down. âHonestly, baby, would you want someone to do that to you?â
Toji groaned, dragging a hand down his face. âGreat. First real word he says to me, and itâs calling me gomi, babe. Kidâs already taking after you.â
You snorted, pressing another kiss to Megumiâs cheek. âDonât blame me because heâs got taste, baby. Our son takes after his mother well!â
âYeah, yeah.â Toji grumbled, though there was a hint of amusement in his tone. He reached out and ruffled Megumiâs hair, despite the babyâs continued glare. âFine, kid. Iâll let it lose this time okay? You win this time, hm? But papa is not a gomi, got it?â
Megumi didnât respond, but the glare softened just enough for Toji to let out a relieved sigh. âThatâs what I thought. Just like your mama.â he muttered, before looking back at you. âAre you laughing at me the whole time?â
âAbsolutely, baby.â you said with a grin. âAnd Iâll be telling this story forever.â
Toji groaned again, but you caught the corner of his mouth twitching upward, unable to hide his fondness as he watched Megumi settle back into your arms. Even when his son thought he was trash, Toji couldnât help but adore him.
As the laughter subsided and your little Megumi relaxed in your arms, you couldnât help but keep grinning at the ridiculous scene youâd just walked in on. It was like your husband found himself in outer space. And he was still debating whether aliens were real.
Fushiguro Toji sat back on his hands, still looking flabbergasted as his blue-green eyes darted between you and Megumi. HIs eyes narrowed for a moment and then a short breath releases from his lips. He shook his head, muttering under his breath.
âUnbelievable.â he grumbled, though there was a clear hint of amusement now in his tone. âFirst words. Gomi. What are the odds?â
You chuckled, bouncing Megumi lightly on your hip. âOh, donât be so dramatic. Heâs been trying to say goma all week, and you just happened to push his buttons at the wrong time.â
âPushed his buttons?â Toji said, straightening up. âAll I did was ask if he was pooping! Thatâs fair game when someoneâs giving you that face!â
You couldnât help but laugh again, glancing down at Megumi, who was still sporting a little frown but had mostly calmed down. âMaybe heâs tired of you questioning his dignity, baby.â you teased. âHeâs got standards, you know.â
âStandards?â Toji repeated, narrowing his eyes at his son. âThis coming from a kid who tried to eat his own foot this morning?â
âGomi!â Megumi declared again, his little finger pointing accusingly at Toji, as if to double down on his stance.
You burst out laughing, nearly stumbling as you tried to hold Megumi steady. âOh my god, Toji, baby. It's rough! youâve been officially labeled. Thereâs no coming back from this now!â
Toji let out a long, exaggerated sigh, dragging a hand down his face before flopping dramatically onto his back. âThis kidâs out to get me. This is just....ugh.â he mumbled, staring up at the ceiling. âFirst itâs gomi, next thing I know, heâll be telling his teachers Iâm a garbage dad.â
âYouâll survive, baby.â you said with a grin, moving to sit beside him on the mat. Megumi squirmed in your arms, reaching out toward Toji with his chubby little hands. âSee? He doesnât mean it. He loves you, trash talk and all.â
Toji sat up just enough to take Megumi from you, holding the baby in front of him at armâs length as if inspecting him for further insults. âYouâre lucky youâre cute, Megumi.â he said, narrowing his blue-green eyes towards his little boy.
Megumi stared back at him, his lips twitching as if he was trying to form another word. For a moment, both you and Toji held your breath, waiting to see what would come out next.
âGooooo-ma.â Megumi finally said, his voice softer this time, and he clapped his little hands together as if proud of himself. "Go-ma!"
Toji blinked, his expression shifting from stunned to triumphant. âThere it is! Goma! Thatâs what you meant, huh? Not gomi. Goma! Great job, âgumi!â
âGood job, my little treasure!â you cheered, clapping along with Megumi.
Toji puffed out his chest, grinning at you like heâd just won a major battle. âSee? I told you the kid doesnât think Iâm trash.â
âOh, donât act like you werenât sweating there for a second, baby.â you teased, nudging him playfully.
âWhatever.â he said, pulling Megumi closer and nuzzling his cheek, much to the babyâs delight. âThis little guy knows his old manâs the best out there, hm? Donât you, kid?â
Megumi giggled, reaching up to grab a handful of Tojiâs hair. Your rather contently resigned husband snickered, taking a deep sigh and letting his son do as he wished.
You let out a small laugh, your heart warm. Life was great like this. And you were truly grateful, as much as you know Toji was, that this was your life day to day.
âYeah, yeah, baby.â you said with a fond smile, watching them. âFor now, at least. Just wait until he starts picking up on all your bad habits.â
Toji shot you a playful glare, but there was nothing but warmth in his eyes as he cradled Megumi against his chest. âBad habits, huh? Iâll teach him the important stuff. Like how to dodge a jab andââ
âAnd maybe not how to taunt people until they call you garbage.â you cut in, smirking at your husband.
Toji groaned, but the sound was filled with affection. âFine, fine. You win this one. But just wait. Next word he says is gonna be dad. Calling it now, babe. Third timeâs the charm!â
âWhatever you say, gomiâkun.â you teased, unable to resist one last jab.
He shot you a look, but the soft laugh he let out was enough to tell you he didnât mind. In fact, you could tell he was enjoying every bit of thisâyour teasing, Megumiâs growing personality, the quiet chaos of your little family.
And as you watched him hold Megumi, the baby now giggling uncontrollably as Fushiguro Toji playfully poked his chubby cheeks, you knew there was no place any of you both would rather be.
Especially your beloved husband. Even if Megumi decided to call him gomi again tomorrow. That all didn't matter. As long as you were together, happy and content.
ââââââââââââââââââ
epilogueÂ
The next morning, after breakfast and while you were doing the laundry, the air was thick with anticipation. The kind of anticipation that only a determined father can have when his child is on the verge of accomplishing a great featâlike calling him "oto-san" or "dad".
Toji, sitting on the floor cross-legged like he was preparing for a life-altering event, had a ridiculous amount of hope in his eyes. Megumi was seated in front of him on the playmat, his big bright blueâgreen eyes wide and serious, as if he understood the gravity of the moment.
âOto-san.â Toji said, his voice impossibly soft, practically dripping with encouragement. âSay it with me, Megumi. O-to-san. You can do it, little man.â
Megumi, who was sitting cross-legged just like his dad (it was adorable how he tried to copy every little thing Toji did), looked up at him, his tiny face scrunched up as he processed the words. He was staring at Toji like he was decoding some ancient language, his eyes darting from Toji's mouth to his eyes, clearly focused.
Toji waited, leaning in a little closer as though the two of them were sharing a secret. âOto-san. Come on. Say it.â Toji repeated slowly for his little son. âO-to-san.â
Megumi blinked once, twice, and you could practically hear the little gears turning in his mind, but the only thing that came out of his mouth was exaggerated. âGomi!â
You couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. The way your Toji looked completely deflated at the sound of the wordâagainâwas too much. He had been trying so hard to do what he could since this morning and so far, Megumi hasn't been cooperating.
He slumped back onto his hands, shaking his head in mock exasperation, though you could see the smile tugging at the corner of his lips despite his best efforts to act annoyed.
"Not again, kid!" Toji groaned, throwing his head back dramatically. âIâm not gomi! Iâm Oto-san! Youâre really gonna call me trash again, huh?â
Megumi, blissfully unaware of the comedic frustration he was causing, grinned up at Toji. His tiny face lit up like a lightbulb, pleased with the attention, clearly proud of himself for having mastered the art of taunting his father in a single syllable.
âI swear, kidâŠ..â Toji muttered, but his voice was full of affection. âYouâre gonna be the death of me.â
You leaned against the doorframe, watching the whole thing unfold, utterly charmed by the two of them. Toji, the intimidating figure who was capable of single-handedly taking down enemies twice his size, now reduced to a pile of goo over his sonâs simple interactions.Â
And Fushiguro Megumi, with his wide, innocent eyes, staring at his dad like he was the most important person in the world.
âLetâs try again, okay?â Toji said, his tone shifting back to encouragement. âCome on, Megumi. O-to-san. You can do it.â
Megumi was still focused on Toji, his big eyes narrowed in thought, like he was really going to work for this one. And for a moment, Tojiâs gaze softened, watching his son struggle so seriously with something as simple as a word. There was no trace of impatience on his face now, only patience and quiet joy at being in this moment with his son, who was so determined.
âO-to-sanâ Toji repeated slowly, the words rolling off his tongue like they were sacred, full of meaning. âO-to-san.â
Megumi blinked again and then, just as you thought the whole thing was going to repeat itself with another triumphant âGomiâ â your little treasure of a son did something that was rather unexpected, even for his own father.
He looked down at his little hands for a moment, and then, in a burst of focus, he looked back up at Toji. This time, his little mouth formed the word slowly, with effort. âO...to...san.â
Toji froze. His entire body stilled, as if the universe itself had shifted. He blinked, then blinked again, his eyes wide with disbelief. âDid... did you just sayââ His voice was breathless, almost as if he couldnât believe what he was hearing. âDid you just say... Oto-san?â
Megumiâs face lit up with an innocent pride, a mischievous little grin spreading across his face as though he knew heâd just done something monumental. He reached up, patting Tojiâs cheek, as if confirming what had just happened.
Toji, his heart swelling with emotions you didnât even know he was capable of, immediately scooped Megumi into his arms. The baby squealed, giggling in surprise as he was lifted up, and Toji held him close, pressing his cheek against his sonâs own chubby ones.
âYou did it, kid. You really said it. O-to-san.â He repeated it like he was relishing every syllable. âDad. Otoâsan.â he whispered, almost in awe. âYou said it.â
You couldnât contain the warm laugh that bubbled up from your chest, a soft, happy sound that filled the room as you walked over to them. You bent down, brushing a hand through Megumiâs soft hair as he clung to his dad, who was still holding him in a vice grip, clearly elated.
âOh my god, Toji, baby.â you said, grinning from ear to ear. âYou did it. Youâre officially Oto-san.â
Toji looked up at you, a grin breaking across his face, his eyes shining with joy. âYou hear that? Oto-san! He said it!â His voice was practically vibrating with excitement.
You leaned in to kiss Megumiâs cheek, and he responded by beaming up at you, his tiny arms reaching toward both of you as if he was basking in the love that was flooding the room. "Heâs got his first word," you said softly, holding him gently. âOto-san.â
Tojiâs expression softened, his hands tightening around his son as if he were trying to hold onto this moment forever. âMan, I never thought Iâd get to hear that. First âgomiâ and then âOto-sanâ... Iâm already getting my father of the year award.â
âDefinitely, baby.â you teased, sitting down beside them. âFirst he calls you trash, now heâs calling you dad. Youâre on a roll!â
Toji grinned widely, holding Megumi up like heâd just won a trophy. âYeah, well, Iâm Oto-san now. All the âgomiâ in the world canât take that away from me.â
Megumi, as if he understood the gravity of the moment, raised his hands in a victorious gesture, causing both of you to laugh. Tojiâs joy was practically radiating off of him, and you could tell that, for him, this moment, this small, perfect momentâwas everything to your husband.
As you all sat together, with Megumi snuggled between you and Toji, you couldnât help but smile at the scene. Toji might have started this whole "Oto-san" lesson with a bit of desperation, but now, he was on top of the world.Â
The way Megumi had slowly figured out the word, and the way Toji had been so patientâthere was a deep love in the room. It wasnât just about the word itself; it was about the bond they were building.
âI think heâs got it, baby.â you said, watching as Toji continued to whisper the word to Megumi. âOto-san... your first real word. Heâll be saying it a lot from now on.â
Toji, still holding Megumi close, sighed happily, a sense of peace settling over him. âYeah.â he said, his voice full of warmth and affection. âOto-san. Iâm good with that.â
And in that moment, with the three of you together in the warmth of your home, everything felt right.

Itâs Generational, Baby!
summary: babies kick, who knew?
warnings: pregnancy
a/n: sorry this is short but you get what you get am afraid
word count: 920
-
âYour child is really getting on my nerves, you know?â you groan, rubbing your swollen belly like itâs a genie lamp and youâre hoping for a wish that involves a whole lot less peeing.
âMy child? Donât you mean our child?â Leah asks, arching an eyebrow so high it almost disappears into her hairline. She has this knack for looking entirely too amused at your discomfort, like she finds the whole pregnancy thing charmingly hilarious.
âNo. Sheâs all yours when sheâs sitting on my fucking bladder,â you shoot back, making a face as another well-aimed kick from inside nearly has you waddling to the bathroom yet again. Honestly, if you had a pound for every time you had to pee, you could afford that beach house in Malibu you've always dreamed of.
Leah canât help but chuckle at your outburst, her laughter warm and familiar, the kind that makes you feel like even in the middle of all this chaos, everything is going to be A-OK. She sidles up to you, wrapping her arms around your waist and resting her chin on your shoulder. âWhat can I say? Sheâs got good aimïżœïżœ
âGood aim? Sheâs using my internal organs as a trampoline. Is that the kind of skill set we really want to encourage?â you huff, though you canât help but lean into her touch, the heat of her body a comforting, relieving presence against your back. You wonder briefly if you should get in early and sign this kid up for gymnastics, or boxing, or karate.
âMaybe sheâs practicing to be the next big athlete in the family,â Leah suggests, pressing a soft kiss to your temple. âYou know, like her mumâ
âWhich one?â you quip, earning another laugh from your ever doting wife. âBecause right now, Iâm not feeling very athletic. More like a bloated whale.â Not that you have anything against whales, but you doubt theyâd be thrilled with the comparison either.
Leah tightens her hold, her breath tickling your ear. âA very beautiful whale, thoughâ
âDonât think you can get away with that smooth talk,â you warn, though a smile is already tugging at the corners of your mouth. âIâm not that easily charmedâ
âLucky for me, weâre already married,â Leah murmurs, her voice low and playful. She shifts, her hand moving to rest on your belly, feeling the little kicks and movements beneath her fingers. âHey there, kiddo. You giving your mum a hard time?â
The baby responds with another swift kick, and you groan again. âSee? She listens to you more than she listens to meâ
âOf course she does. Iâm a captain, I talk, people listen,â Leah says, her tone dripping with mock arrogance. âMaybe I should start giving her pep talks. Teach her the fine art of not kicking her mother in the bladderâ
âPlease do,â you sigh, rolling your eyes but unable to suppress a grin. âThough knowing our luck, sheâll just end up kicking harderâ
âWell, if that happens, weâll just have to negotiate with her,â Leah says, gently rubbing your belly. âPromise her all the ice cream and chocolate she wants if she stops using you as a punching bagâ
âYou really think thatâll work?â you ask, skeptical but hopeful.
Leah shrugs, her smile bright and confident. âWorth a shot, isnât it?â
You sigh, resting your head against her shoulder. âFine. But if it doesnât work, youâre the one who has to deal with her when sheâs pushing against my ribcage at 3 AMâ
âDeal,â Leah agrees, pressing another kiss to your cheek. âAnything for you, loveâ
You lean into her embrace, feeling a warmth that had nothing to do with the baby growing inside you. Itâs moments like these, amid the teasing and the jokes, that you felt the depth of your connection with Leah. Itâs more than just love; it's a partnership, a shared journey that is as full of laughter as it is of challenges.
"Hey, Leah?" you say softly after a few moments of comfortable silence.
"Yeah?" she replies, her voice equally gentle.
"Do you think we'll be good parents?" It is a question that has been gnawing at you, one that you hadn't voiced out loud until now.
Leah turns you around to face her, her eyes searching yours with a seriousness that is rare. "I know we will be," she says firmly. "Because we've got each other. And because we're already so in love with this little oneâ
You feel a lump form in your throat, emotion welling up inside you. "You really believe that?"
"With all my heart," she says, her smile soft and sincere. "And besides, we've got 23 free babysitters if our patience runs out. And from what Iâve heard, getting good childcare is half the battle with this parenting thingâ
You laugh, a sound that feels like a release. "Yeah, I guess it isâ
"Come on," Leah says, guiding you to the sofa. "Let's sit down and you can tell me all about how our child has been tormenting you today. Or we could start a record, you know, of particularly impressive kicks? For posterity. Or maybe for her first therapy sessionâ
As you settle into the cushions, you canât help but feel a wave of contentment wash over you. Despite the discomforts, the uncertainties, and the incessant bladder attacks, you know you are in this together. And with Leah by your side, you feel ready to face whatever comes next, one well placed kick at a time.

How do you think the characters react to mc having their period in the monster au. Cause it would make sense for other monster species to have them as well, but it could end up being a "human" thing to them. Like how would the love interests and the staff react. I imagine Malleus panicking the moment he smells blood on his human.
(More lovely fan-art~ Credit to the wonderful @tinseltina for drawing up Mr. Handsome Leona)
Humans are Extinct (Yandere!TWST x Fem!Reader) 9.5
Something tells me y'all really want to know the answer to this.
Warnings; not proofread (my stuff rarely is, but this is hot off the press), menstrual cycle and all that comes with it (mood swings, blood, cramps, ect), female pronouned reader, not too big on plot but several moments for the fellas, the stressed Dragon is trying his best, use of Japanese words (Nii-san, nee-san, Oji-san), Dragon, Crow, Harpy, Shinigami, Nemean Lion, Gnoll, Shadow-men, Cervitaur, Genie, Unicorn, Cecaelia, Vampire Bat,
~~~~~~~~
It was officially your eighth day in Twisted Wonderland and it was finally time for Diasomnia to take a step back and allow the other dorms to guard you. According to the raffle, it was to be Ignihyde's turn next. Both Idia and Ortho had shown up to the early morning meeting, Ortho still somewhat asleep as he sat leaning up against Idia's arm.
The other Housewardens were present and they had even remembered to invite Malleus this time as there was no other way the Dragon would give up his Human. Both Shinigami were anxious for different yet similar reasons as they waited for the inevitable arrival of the Dragon. Only problem was that Malleus showed up without the Human.
"What is the meaning of this, Malleus? Where is she?"
Vil was first to voice his concerns, one of the few among the Housewardens who would willingly snap at the dour prince. Malleus simply stared at the Harpy even as he squawked and fluffed his feathers in irritation. Of course, they all wanted to hear whatever explanation the Dragon was going to give for this clear violation of the rules they had set regarding soft (Y/n).
"I don't recall ever agreeing to this nonsense of trading my hoard among others, but if you must know, (Y/n) is currently unwell and I have no intention to leave any member of my hoard while they are in such a state."
"Unwell? How is she unwell? She was fine yesterday, if a bit temperamental."
Crowley was displeased by Malleus' refusal to bring the Human they all felt increasing fondness for, but he was more displeased to hear she was ill in some way. In fact, the news unsettled everyone at the table, Idia and Ortho included. They were all keen to keep (Y/n) in high spirits especially with news that there would be several representatives from various countries making surprise visits to check on her well-being.
"She is bleeding but insists it is normal for Humans. The scent of blood alerted me to her state as she rose before the rest of us and I found her in her bathroom crying. She refuses to leave her bathroom until she is able to aquire 'pads' to catch the blood and commented something about 'tampons'. I know not what these 'pads' and 'tampons' are, but even Lilia insists it is something Humans do on a monthly basis and warned me to not push her on this matter."
"If that Mousey is bleeding," Leona growled, "then she must be injured in some way."
"That was my thinking, but Lilia said I was wrong and that he would explain it later before he insisted I attend this meeting instead."
"What exactly has Lilia told you about (Y/n)'s condition?"
~âąÂ§âą~
"I hate everything and everyone."
You grumbled as you lay curled up on a towel in your bathtub, holding your bloated stomach as you whined loudly when another cramp gripped you. The dull throbbing ache in your back made you want to throw something if it meant the discomfort would end. Your arm had healed quickly- still somewhat mending, but now useable- only for your period to smack you while you were down.
Of course these useless monsters didn't have pads or tampons or Midol and now you relegated yourself to laying on a towel so you don't bleed all over the shared nest. If you could have things your way, you would have as many sanitary products as you wished and you would be laying on Silver's back as the Reindeer was so comfortingly warm. It only made you angrier to remember that there were no heating-pads in this forsaken land.
"(Y/n)?"
"Let me die."
"Please don't talk that way, (Y/n). None of us want you to die."
"Then why aren't there any heating-pads or pain-meds, Lilia? Sounds like you all want me to suffer and die."
"(Y/n)-"
"Leave me to suffer."
"(Y/n)-"
"Go away, Lilia!"
The Bat sighed and closed the door, letting you wallow and whine in pain. He had been around Humans enough to vaguely remember what was wrong, but it had been a long time since he last had to deal with such a situation. Lilia didn't exactly remember the how and the why of your condition, just that it was normal for Humans. No, if anyone knew what was happening, it was you and you were not keen to share your wisdom.
While you were wallowing in self-pity you felt your stomach begin to growl and you just started crying again. None of these moron monsters knew how to cook and you just wanted a nice breakfast to soothe your upset body even if for only a bit. Somewhere during your tears the door to the bathroom had opened again and a delicious smell met your nose.
Walking into the room was the man wreathed in shadows, he set a cloth bag down next to the tub where you lay and stood for a moment watching you. You somewhat recognized him as one of the staff members Crowley had introduced you to the first day- you think his name was Sam- and even in the daylight he looked like liquid darkness. Apparently he was the only one who had a store on campus and he was the one to go to for any and all needs.
"Breakfast is ready downstairs, little Imp."
With that he left the bathroom and closed the door behind him, leaving you to examine what he brought. Inside the bag was a note and several items you thought you would never see in this forsaken world. What looked to be reusable cloth pads took up a good portion of the bag, clearly the kind that could be buttoned and wrapped around undergarments to act like your world's traditional sticky pads. Further down were what seemed to be several small bottles filled with star-shaped pills in various purples, oranges, pinks, and yellows. What almost made you start crying again was the sweet and heartbreakingly beautiful appearance of chocolate fudge in a medium sized tin.
That first bit of fudge melted on your tongue and brought the sugary sweetness of chocolate to your senses. It was like a slice of heaven had fallen into your mouth and you could hardly believe it.
The pads were similar to the disposable ones you had back in your world but with a button clasp along the wing of the pad so it could be secured. You were quick to change your clothes with the extra Lilia had brought you, securing the pad to your underwear and sighing in relief once it all was in place. Though you would have to wash these pads after you switched them out, it was better than nothing.
The note was simple and short, but you couldn't be happier to read the almost elegant script.
'Hey, little Imp. Thought you would need these, though not so soon. Unlike most in Twisted Wonderland, Shadow-folk and Humans were the few species where the child-bearing members have these bleeding cycles. My friends on the other side figured you would want some chocolate. The bottles have some bloating and pain medicine that should help. Only take one of each color twice a day. Chocolate isn't too common, but I think now is as good a time as any to share.
- Sam'
You could have cried it was so beautiful. To think there was someone here who wasn't completely oblivious to your suffering was soothing in ways you hadn't expected. If anything, Sam was now in the top spot for your favorite of the staff members, the others be damned.
As you finally got the chance to clean yourself up and wear clean clothes, you were now ready to emerge from the bathroom you spent most of the morning in. The warm smell of food brought you down to the kitchen and you saw a beautiful sight. Standing near what looked like an entire breakfast feast was Sam, he seemed to be guarding the food from the group that stood eyeing him suspiciously. Ruggie, your guards- minus Malleus- and Grim all stared at the shadow man who refused to let any near the copious amounts of food.
"Morning, little Imp! Figured you would want some breakfast given the morning you've had. Have as much as you like before I let these beasts eat the rest."
Sitting in large bowls and stacked on plates were an assortment of eggs, some kind of sweet smelling breakfast meat- as sausages weren't prevalent in Twisted Wonderland- pan-seared onions and peppers, even pancakes stacked high. It was a veritable feast for the eyes and stomach, the best part being the fact you didn't even have to make it.
"... You're my favorite, did you know that?"
"You honor me, little Imp. I know my sisters and mother would be sending me shadow curses if I didn't at least lend a hand during your time of struggle. Eat up."
You did exactly that as you gathered up a generous portion for yourself and settled at the small table in the kitchen to dig in. Once Sam saw you were happily eating your fair share, he grabbed his own plate before he moved to let the others descend on the food. Lilia was quick to join you and Sam at the small table, not at all put off by your earlier attitude towards him.
"So, Sam, do you know what's going on with (Y/n)?"
"Of course. We shadow people go through a similar process- I should say the ladies and child-bearers of the Shadow people know- I personally don't, but you can bet your ass my meemaw would whoop me something fierce if she found out I left this Human to endure alone when I could have helped."
"Guess there is no need for Malleus to be so distraught then."
You ignored the conversation and simply ate your meal, thrilled someone else knew how to cook a damn fine breakfast. Sebek, Silver, Ruggie, and Grim were content to eat at the kitchen counters instead of the small table, talking quietly to one another. Well, Ruggie and Grim were shoveling food down their gullets, Sebek and Silver were the ones talking.
It was during this conversation that you heard many footsteps thundering down the halls of your dorm to the kitchen. You gripped the fork in your hand tightly and the moment someone grabbed you was the moment you swung the fork to stab whoever dared to touch you. They were quick to let go and narrowly avoided your utensil as they backed off and you saw it was the Headmage.
"(Y/n), my poor little chick! Where are you bleeding-?"
"None of your business!"
Your voice was an angry grumble as you guarded the plate in front of you, putting an arm around it and glaring at the feathered man. He seemed confused before he looked over at Sam who had continued to eat calmly.
"Ah, I should have known you would already be on top of it, Sam. Shadow folk and Humans were two sides of a very similar coin, after all."
"Headmage, why did you bring all these students into her kitchen?"
You looked around and you saw many familiar faces as well as a few unfamiliar faces. Malleus, Vil, Ortho, Azul, Leona, and Riddle were of the familiar. Of the unfamiliar were two men of vastly different appearances. One had white hair and tanned skin, almost seeming to be shining from the inside with a bright gold. The other looked like an older, non-mechanical Ortho with extreme anxiety at even being perceived.
"Mr. Draconia informed us that (Y/n) was unwell and I couldn't keep them from coming with me to check on her-"
"Well, you all are done checking, now go away. I want to eat my breakfast in peace."
"(Y/n)-"
"No! I have had little to no personal space since the moment I fell into this madhouse of a campus and it shouldn't take me having my period to get some! If you all are really that concerned, I have a whole list of things I could only benefit from and you all are welcome to start gathering."
"... Would that make you happy?"
"It would be a start!"
It seemed all of your uninvited guests were uncomfortable as they looked at one another before the shining golden one nodded excitedly. Out of everyone, he seemed the most oblivious to your annoyance and instead seemed happy to be given something to do.
"Sure! What's on the list? I can get stuff for you! Say the word and Jamil and I are on it!"
"See? This is a model Housewarden right here. Doesn't push his own agenda, doesn't demand more information, just says 'okay' and does what is asked of him."
Vil seemed the most offended by this, but kept his thoughts to himself and instead just glared at the happy shining man. Malleus was also clearly displeased by your less than favorable attitude, moving to stand near Lilia as if that would curb your anger at the situation. Ortho seemed to be of the same mind as the first odd-ball and looked ready to run off for whatever you requested.
"Don't forget your medicine, (Y/n)."
Sam prompted gently, continuing his meal as if nothing were amis. Naturally, you had mostly forgotten the bottles of oddly colored stars in your frustration and only now remembered they were present. His note said one of each color twice a day, so you figured it was a morning and night kind of medication.
The stars were actually somewhat cute and you felt a vague temptation to sit and sort the stars by color, but your ever present cramps demanded you take them instead. They actually tasted sweet and must have had a sugar coating of some kind as they went down easily enough. Perhaps it was psychosomatic, but it felt like they were helping the moment you swallowed the odd shapes and felt far less irate even with the herd of others in your home.
"Nee-san, can I have that list you mentioned? You can send it to me via-text so Nii-san and I can get started on gathering things for you!"
"Nee-san?"
"Oh! Are we not close enough yet for me to call you that? Sorry! I just want to be your friend so much I keep forgetting we just met. Oji-san wants to meet you too since he hasn't been able to meet a living Human for a long time and he misses Humans. Would it be okay if he came over?"
It was then the one that looked like an older version of Ortho spoke, resting his hand on Ortho's shoulder.
"Ortho, stop. I get you wanna be her friend but it is so cringe to just invite people over to someone else's place when they aren't feeling well."
"Oh, I'm sorry! I just want everything to work out and Oji-san Hades has been texting non-stop about meeting (Y/n)..."
"We can talk about that later. Okay?"
You raised a single brow at the two- who you assumed to be brothers- as they had their back and forth banter. Somewhere you figured all the Housewardens in your dorm were there to help, but you were still annoyed they came over uninvited. Maybe they could be of use if you split up that growing list of yours and put the clearly eager men to work.
"If I give you all the list will you go away?"
"No," Malleus said, crossing his arms, "I must protect my hoard and if a member of my hoard is unwell, then I shall stand guard until they are well again."
"Fine. You can stay, but I just want a quiet day today. I don't have classes and I just want to sleep."
"You are always welcome to the nest."
"Wasn't asking permission, but thanks, I guess. I also want Silver to be in the nest because he's warm and it feels nice to have heat on my stomach."
"Silver has clases today, but I am free for the day. I can use my magic to warm your stomach so you can rest easy."
"Fine, but if you burn me I'm kicking you out of my dorm permanently."

Computers cannot lie but neither do they tell the truth. Therefore, computers are like fae or genies. you have to be really really REALLY specific in your requests to get what you were hoping for.
Physicist Dr. Andrea Collier takes an hour to frustradedly explain why AI isn't a real thing, but a rich guy is going to replace you with a racist stolen garbage generator anyway.

Genie Glory the Game
(A [Very Late] Trade with @bigwishes. I hope you like it!) 43 followers. Rich Donaldson, also known as TF2Twink on Twitch, had 43 followers.Rich had been streaming for over 3 years now and only had 43 followers. 43 measly followers. It made him feel pathetic. It made him feel like he was useless. Yet at the same time, Rich was incredibly grateful for every one of those followers.Â
Rich Donaldson had wanted to become a gaming streamer since he was a kid. It hadnât really been a real thing until he was a teen, and most people thought he was crazy for thinking he could make money that way. Some people doubted it was a real job, some thought it was too competitive, some thought it was just a dumb idea in general. No matter what the reason, everyone in Richâs life agreed that Rich wasnât going to make it as a streamer. Especially his hyper religious, video game hating parents. Still Rich refused to give up. He knew it would be hard, maybe impossible, but he was passionate and felt like he had to follow his dream. That was what everyone in the movies did after all. Rich moved out, cut contact with his parents, went into debt buying the best streaming gear he could⊠and immediately regretted it. Rich didnât mind losing contact with his parents. They had never been the most loving people, so he hadnât really lost much. Except things werenât working out like they did in the movies. Rich wasnât making it, and worse than that he wasnât getting any better at streaming. He was good at the games, so he knew that wasnât the issue. The issue was⊠he was incredibly, painfully, horribly shy. Rich didnât have the confidence that a streamer needed. He could barely get a word out during the stream without starting to awkwardly ramble, and even when he did he came off as awkward and weird. He wasnât just unconfident, he was a downright nervous wreck. Still he didnât give up. He couldnât after everything he had thrown away to get this chance⊠all the sleepless nights working part time jobs to stay above water⊠he was in too deep. So he kept going âHey chat! S-so t-todayâŠâ Rich took a deep breath, trying his best not to ramble âT-today Iâm going to be playing a new game. I-itâs not very well known, but i-it looked cool and Iâve heard a lot of people are playing it⊠S-so let's get into âGenie Glory the Game!â Rich said, trying to be excited. Barely anyone was watching, and it was getting hard to pretend he wasnât incredibly depressed, but he kept smiling. Genie Glory was a pretty simple game with a simple premise that had been baffling gamers for months. It was a pretty simple idea based on a classic scenario. You play a random guy who has discovered a genieâs lamp and now has 3 wishes. You make a wish by typing it into the computer, and the genie grants the wish, but usually in some twisted way that is accompanied by a pixelated animation of the player's fate. The goal is to get through all 3 wishes alive. What made the game so popular was that no one had beat it yet. Whatever AI the game used was incredibly clever and strangely creative, and to make it even more difficult, the game only allowed you to play it once. Popular streamers, actually geniuses, and even philosophers hadnât been able to beat the game, so Rich knew beating it would make him famous.
âOk chat. I-itâs time for our first wish⊠And Iâm taking suggestionsâŠâ Rich said. Rich wanted to beat the game, but⊠he wasnât sure how to beat this game, so heâd take all the help he could get. A few suggestions actually came across the screen âBasedBro69: Wish for your muscles to grow!â
âGenieGay33: No way, that's the way to open ended! The Genie will make him grow until he pops or somethingâ
âMissTaken27: That's such a basic idea. Might as well ask him to wish to be a frat boy or something.â
Rich laughed at this. He knew most of his followers' usernames by heart, but BasedBro69 was new. Still the conversation he had started was kind of funny, and he figured⊠why not? âOk then, why not! Lets make me a frat boy!â He said, snickering as he typed in his computer. He tried to be as specific as possible to avoid the spell being twisted ââI wish I was an attractive, stereotypical frat boy.â
Rich laughed as he watched the pixelated version of himself grow muscular, his clothing changing to a tank top and backwards cap. He watched as the other version of him rushed a frat. Rich was certain something would go wrong, afterall he knew from first hand experience that hazing could get fucking intense, but surprisingly his character survived and got through the first wish without any incident. Rich grinned widely. Most people never even made it through the first wish, but he, a relative nobody, had managed! He stood up straighter as he watched people start to flood into the stream. He checked the chat happily. âGenieMan33: He actually made it with that wish? Iâll never understand this game, but good for you!â âMisterRichD27: Kind of an ironic wish considering you are a frat boy. No offense.â âBasedBro69: I fucking knew that would work bro! You can do this!â
Rich blushed slightly at MisterRichD27âs comment, and his flirty name. While he didnât tend to think of himself that way, he was technically a frat boy. He had joined one after heading to college in the hopes of finding some friends. His frat brothers could be⊠kind of obnoxious, and very stereotypical, but they had helped him come out of his shell somewhat and even get in shape. He was still fairly shy, but he never would have gotten this far in college or with his streaming if it wasnât for them. He chuckled at the chat, slightly embarrassed âIâll admit, that was a weird wish, but hey, it worked so who cares!â Rich said cheerily âOk, so what's the next wish going to be? Iâm trusting you on this chat!â Rich said with what he hoped was a charming wink. âGenieMan33: Maybe something basic like money? That doesnât usually work but you seem to be on a hot streak.â
âBasedBro69: No way bro. He only gets to play once. Wish for something like fucking confidence or something. Something fun!â
âMisterRichD27: IDK, Basedbro69 was right last time. Maybe you should wish for confidence?â Rich shrugged. He could think up even more ways that this could go wrong, but this game had never seemed to work on logic in any of the videos he watched to prepare for this. So with a grin, he typed in his second wish âI wish I had the kind of cocky confidence that ladies love.â he said with a chuckle. He hoped it would be obvious that it was a joke, since his Twitch username, FortnightOtter44, made it obvious he was gay. He watched as the little version of him grew a big head, quite literally. Rich was worried this was leading to some type of game over, but his head deflated, his muscles grew, and a bunch of pixelated girls in bikinis ran up to the pixelated him. Rich grinned wide and tried not to cuss in celebration, not wanting to get demonetized (again). He had fucking done it! He fucking got past wish 2! He smirked as he watched the chat explode as more people tuned in âGenieStud33: Fuck yeah! RDH fucking did it! Knew you had it in you bro!â
âMissRichD27: RDH is the best gamer ever! And the hottest! DM me!â
BasedBro69: HELL YEAH! You can do this bro!â Rich, known as RDH to his fans, or RichDaHunk on Twitch, smirked, as he saw the comments roll in. He fucking knew he could get this game. He may not have been the most popular streamer on twitch, but he was a fucking good gamer and a total stud. He flexed his biceps, getting the chat riled up again in a frenzy of lust and admiration. Rich didnât bother to look at the chat this time. He gave a smarmy, cocky smirk at the camera âI know what to put in next bros. Iâm gonna wish for something fucking inevitable.â he said cockily.
He quickly typed in âI wish I was the most popular gaming streamer on Twitchâ, and watched with a practiced cool confidence as the pixelated version of him gained millions of followers. The chat exploded with awe and wonder as what Rich had always known was going to happen, happened. He had won the game. He flexed his muscles for the stream, celebrating with his 43 million followers. He didnât understand why they were all shocked. He was the coolest, hottest, douchiest gamer on twitch. Of course he fucking won!

đđđ§đđšđđđ« đđđđ OCT 1: ARRANGED MARRIAGE # Roronoa ZoroâFem! Reader
Request â* Hi, if youâre open can I request Zoro for Oct.1 Rough sex? And female reader?If not thatâs ok, I just wanted to say I love your writing and I love the work u put into making your posts aesthetic <3 Make sure to take care of urself :)
Warnings â* Rough sex, arranged marriage, Shit writing
WC â* 978 wordsâ5,304 characters
It only had been a weekâ a week of meeting this man, who you were fended off to by your 'parents'. A week of getting to know each other forcefully. A week of you trying your best to just disappear and end this suffering put between the two of you. A week of him convincing himself that not even a single attention should be provided for you, he really tried his best.
He grits his teeth to your agreeing words, which makes it much more heavier to swallow such a thick throwback from you.
"I'm not giving you a single attention just because we're married."
"I never said you should."
And yet, after all those hardships that you had put to end this, only for you to end up on his bed as he ravishes you into the thin, silky bedsheet inside his room. His bed would most likely give out soon as it squeeks everytime his hard thrusts comes along your skin once again.
With his hips starting to stutter from the rough pressure and friction to please you, he held you in place in order to keep up. Your hips buckle for more into him, forcibly making him go deeper inside your cervix. His tip remarkably bullying your cervix enough for it to end up bruising by tomorrow morning.
It's hard, he makes it soo hard to take him. Zoro full well knows that he himself is big, Zoro is a monster when it comes down from there and he knows it. It's hard, specially when his thrusts are rough yet slow ones. Yet, you take him like you were granted to him from a genie itself, that is what makes it exciting for him.
Your hole was typically stretched as big as it could to fit Zoro, it hurted a few minutes ago and was instantly replaced with pleasure. Not only that, but your core was incredibly squeezing him so hard that it makes it hard for him to just pull out. It felt so good to him, the way you clench over his thick shaft, the way you murmur sweet moans that gradually get louder and louder as time passes.
Zoroâ was most definitely holding himself from going to hard on you, why? It was your first time, and he wants to savour his favorite positions for future sessions with you as he knows this won't be the last one, so that way he'd suprise you with lot's more and not the same over and over again.
You dont mind, you never will. Zoro was so lawge that you wouldn't remarably fit him immediately, which involves lot's of lubricant. It will never be the same, for you everything does have differences. Just like his pace right now compared to the first one, rough and agonizingly slow. Other than that, he was savoring the moment of your sloppy hole.
Zoro removes his bandana, wiping his forehead using it and ties it around your arm, it was soaked in his sweat and it almost felt disgusting. He runs his calloused hands over your arms towards your shoulder, simply to tease you. His rough hands were dragging along your skin, making you shiver in suprise.
Was this romanticism? He asks himself; but why? No, romance was never his forte, no it was never something he wanted to experience. But, here he was on top of you, savoring each thrust he gave you. Here he was, admiring you soft, delicate moans that echoes through his ears.
Fuck romanticism, his mind swirled around the thoughts of what was happening nowâ nothing was important, nothing other than projecting his hips movements, nothing other than making you cum.
His thoughts swirled more, and more. It makes him go rougher at the session. The skin slapping, your ass was very much sore from all the collision of your skins. Your moans get louder each rough thrusts he provides, this was either heaven or hell.
You held onto his shoulder as he goes faster, your eyes almost going white and you felt like you were gonna explode your climax all over him soon.
"I hope i could keep you like this forever, a hole to forever abuse." Zoro smirks on his comment,
The deep feeling deep inside his loin is heating up, he feels the spring that will almost immediately burst. He continues pounding you like a dog in heat, his hips now stuttering even more. Your nails dug on his back, leaving crescent moon shapes behind him. Your moans are heard by the whole room, possibly until outside of the room and 2 more neighboring ones.
His thrust was demonic to forever start with, the sound of his repeated thrusting and followed by the sloppiness that was developed between the both of you were starting to louden itself. Zoro was finally groaning and huffing, whilst your moans only louden at the sensation.
Zoro fastens his pace, making your eyes roll back at the back of your skull. The coil deep inside him about to snap, he takes his index and middle finger and shove them up your mouth. You swirl your tongue on his fingers and suck them as he'd like.
"Shitâ take my fucking cumâ
" With no more words, Zoro spills inside you with a loud thrust, making you yelp loudly, almost lolling your tongue out in ecstacy. He takes your legs and positions your knees above your head,making his cum reach deeper parts within you yourself couldn't reach. You release a loud moan along with some pants as you take your climax on his cock aswell. Gosh, it felt so good.
Zoro and You are now a panting, sweaty, and sticky mess. He plops down to the bed beside you and catches his breath, his cum slowly dripping out of your pussy.
"Physical attention doesn't seem bad."
"I know "

Word Count: 5.3k
Divider Template: @cafekitsune
Notes:Â
The following characters are original creations. Their voice claims are Usher / Lucky Daye (Jameson) & Summer Walker / SZA (Imani). We have no affiliation to any of those artists.
The aftermath of the disastrous album release party left Imani seeking solace in her hotel suite. As she lay in bed attempting to find sleep amidst the chaos in her mind, thoughts of Jameson consumed her. She couldnât shake the image of him when first laid eyes on her at the party, or how he looked with Camille by his side. The way he wrapped his arm around her waist and held her close made her believe they were happy together but the look on his face made her feel completely different.Â
He didnât resemble her Jameson anymore. He appearedâŠsolemn and apathetic. He smiled and talked politely throughout the night but he didnât seem to be the life of the party anymore. Then again â what did she know about him? It had been a year since they even laid eyes on each other.
After tossing and turning all night, Imani realized she had to let it go. It was time to get back to her life. The next morning, she woke up feeling restless but she forced herself through her usual routine. She took a shower, brushed her teeth, and ate breakfast.Then began coordinating a swift exit from New York with her assistant. The trip had been a disaster and she wanted nothing more than to leave as soon as possible.Â
As she was sending out an email, a phone number appeared on her screen. It wasnât saved, but she knew exactly who it was. She had removed him from her contacts but she didnât forget. Without hesitation, Imani answered on the second ring. âHello?â
For a moment, there was nothing. He didnât say anything. But when he did speak, it was like a shock to her system. âHey. Itâs me.â His deep voice was like an earthquake to her core. It left her brain scattered. She needed to think of something fast! This man shouldnât get to affect her like this.
She laughed, âYeah. I know, Jameson. Whatâs up?â
She could hear his hesitation over the line and wondered what this was about. âI wasâŠIf youâre still in New York, can we meet up? Lunch or something? I think we should talk.âÂ
âYes, thatâs fine!â She answered eagerly, the pitch of her voice rising in anticipation. She quickly cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure. âI mean, yeah, we can go today.â
Once again, he got quiet. She expected him to call her out on her eagerness. Make a joke, tease her. But he didnât. He seemed to be all business. âTwo oâclock good? At Masa?â
âYeah, that works. Iâll see you at Masa at two.â âGood. See you then.â
The call ended and her heartbeat tripled in speed. What the fuck did she just agree to? Why was he calling her? Why did he want to see her? Did he end things with Camille? Did he want her back? No, it couldnât be that easy. He didnât even flirt with her over the phone. Whatever he wanted, it made Imani nervous. She didnât know how to handle the man he was now.Â
After coming face to face with Imani, Genieâs emotions were a rapid whirlwind, shifting from sadness to hurt and now settling into a wave of deep, seething anger. All she could think about that night was her former best friend barging back into everyoneâs life without a word of warning. Understandably, her situation with Jameson became untenable and she had to walk away. Genie wanted the best for them both but sometimes love didnât work out the way she thought it should. But never did she think Imani would cut her off without a word. She didnât get it. She was her best friend.Â
She was pissed.Â
She decided she wouldnât wait for Imani to reach out. If she did, sheâd wait forever. She was taking control of their friendship. Determined, Genie called Imaniâs assistant to find out where she stayed in New York. Aman Resorts. From there, it was nothing to get to Imaniâs room. She practiced her speech the whole way, strutting down New York streets muttering to herself.
This wasnât fair and Genie wasnât going to stand for it.
When she arrived at the hotel, she immediately took the elevator up to the floor the assistant gave her. Genie fought to keep her composure despite the anger within her. When Imaniâs voice rang out from behind the door, her stomach churned. Was this the path she wanted to take?
But it was too late. The door opened and Imani was thereâŠlooking at Genie in clear surprise. The girls looked at one another and before Imani could say a word, Genie wedged herself between the door and pushed her way inside. The aggressive action wasnât part of her personality but she stuck with it.Â
It seemed the only way Imani would take her seriously was to make demands.
She marched past the foyer and found herself in the living room, waiting for Imani to join her. As soon as she heard the door close. She loosened the Chanel purse from around her arm, tossing it down onto the couch behind her as she paced the floor. She could hear the other woman approach the room and Genie whirled around, hurt in her tone. âWas it so hard to pick up the phone?â
To her credit, Imani apologized. Almost immediately. âGenie. IâmâŠIâm sorry. Iââ
But she didnât want an apology. She wanted answers. âYou could have told me that you needed space. I would have left you alone. I wouldnât have bothered you. I would have just checked in and we didnât have to talk about Jamie. We could have justâŠâ Her voice broke and tears glistened in her eyes as she fought against them. âYou were my best friend. How could you?â The words spilled out before she could stop them.
âI-Iâm sorry. I didnât know what to do after I broke up with Jameson.â Imani confessed, tears filling her own eyes. âI just knew I didnât want to speak his name. I didnât want to hear it.âÂ
âOkay but you just left me.â Genieâs voice cracked with emotion. She was fighting a losing battle with her tears. They ran down her cheeks as she glared at Imani. âOut of everyone, you know I would have understood.â
Imani nodded, acknowledging that Genie was right. Being understanding was one of her greatest strengthsâŠbut also a flaw. She searched for the good in people every single time and she got hurt because of it. She didnât want Imani to just be another person in the list of people who hurt her.
âI know, I know. And Iâm so sorry for shutting you out. Please forgive me,â Imani begged, her voice pleading and sincere.
Genieâs anger faded as she saw the genuine remorse in her friendâs eyes...but it still lived within her. âIâll work on it. JustâŠdonât shut me out like that again or I might kill you.â She wiped the tears from her eyes, sniffling.Â
The two women eyed one another warily but their love for each other couldnât be denied. And just like thatâŠthere was a glimmer of hope that their friendship could be salvaged. All it took were some tears and a couple of apologies.
âI wonât.â âYou promise?â âOf course.â âYou swear?â âYes.â â...Give me your pinky.â
Imani laughed, moving closer to Genie as she wiped tears from her own face and offered her friend her pinky. Genie linked hers with Imani and nodded, the action sealing the promise between them. Imani wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug. âI promise you I wonât. I missed you so much.â she whispered.Â
âI missed you too.â Genie replied and returned the hug.
âYou want to help me pick an outfit? Iâm about to go see Jameson in an hour.â Imani said softly.Â
Genie reared back, blinking at her in confusion. âYouâre seeing whâOh my god, Imani. Does it ever end?! Show me your options.âÂ
Coming face-to-face with Imani again might not have been the best thing to do. He was already struggling after seeing her last night. And that was only one time. He shouldnât put himself through the torture of doing it again, but he had to. He had to see if she was alright. He had to reassure himself that leaving her alone was the right thing to do.Â
He waited for her at Masa, shuffling silverware around nervously as he waited to see her. Meeting in public wasnât ideal â he knew people would talk â but it was better than meeting her alone somewhere. He needed to keep this above board. His relationship with Camille was developing well. She was good for him. His therapist encouraged him to make decisions that were best for him.
Panting after Imani wasnât good for him. He spent six months of his life reaching for a bottle of liquor every time he thought of her, literally begging God to have her wake up and come back to him â only to see her leaving LA hotspots with her latest fling. He circled the drain when he couldnât have herâŠand he was tired of living like that.
But it would be a lie to say that he didnât miss or worry about her, so he hoped this could be a new chapter in their lives.Â
When he saw her being led to the table by a hostess, he rose from his seat. It was a reflex but he followed it. His gaze swept her frame, taking in the outfit. The dark orange bordering on brown. The way her pants hugged her hips. Her belly button piercing was clear as day. Fuck. He had to stop. If they were going to be in each otherâs lives, he couldnât think like this.
They were going to be friends and it was time to act like it.
âHey Jamie,â she greeted him with a smile. âHow are you?â She asked, sitting down.Â
âHey. Iâm..Iâm good.â He said softly, staring at her as she took a seat. Eventually, he realized he needed to be sitting too. Jameson quickly sat and met her gaze with a smile. âThank you for coming.â
She looked at him, pausing for a moment. âNo problem. Itâs nice to, um, see you again.â She said softly. This was a side of Imani he wasnât used to. She was softer and more timid. He didnât like it.Â
âWe just saw each other last night.â he joked
She laughed, looking away. Imani pushed her hair behind her ear. âIâI know. I just wasnât expecting to see you so soon. Iâm glad I am though.â
âIâm glad too.â He said softly, gazing at her before remembering what he was there for. âI uhâI was worried about you. You left early and I just wanted to make sure you were okay.âÂ
Again, she paused. She gazed back at him. He studied her facial features, looking for the answer she didnât want to tell. âOh, Iâm fine. I was tired.â She said, her eyes giving away it being a lie. âAre you okay? You left your party early too.âÂ
âYeah, everythingâs fine. I was just tired from finishing up the album.â he said. Their conversation was stiff and awkward just like how it was at his album release party. It didnât flow like how he was used to.
âWell, um, Iâm glad youâre okay, Jamie.â She glanced at him. This time he could tell she was being genuine. âThatâs all I want. I want you to be okay.â
âI-I want that for you too, Imani.âÂ
There was a pause. She didnât speak. Neither did he. Jameson knew what he had to do coming into this conversation, but he was having difficulty finding the words to do it. He exhaled, his eyes meeting hers. âCami and I areâŠweâre good together. We get along really well. No arguing, no screaming, no mistrust. We work and I want to see where it goes. Sheâs good for me.â
She nodded, her smile faltering slightly, but she quickly recovered it. âGood. Iâm glad that youâre happy, Jameson. You deserve that.â She said softly.Â
âThanks,â he said. âI want you to be happy too.âÂ
âI am,â she said quickly. âIâm happier than I've ever been.âÂ
Her bright smile remained, leaving him hopeful, but her eyes conveyed a different story. He wanted so badly to ask more questions. He wanted to see if she was telling the truth. One of the last things she ever told him was that she didnât think he was her person anymore. Shouldnât she be happier now?
And yet, he stopped himself from asking. He had to let her go for her to be happy. It was a thought he lived by for a year. That had to be true. She was better off without him.
âThatâs good. I asked you here because IâI want us to be friends, Imani. We loved each other for so long. I wonât pretend I donât worry about you. I do. So I want us to be okay with each other.â
She paused, glancing at him. âIâŠIâd like that. I want to be friends with you too. I miss your presence in my life, Jamie. And I just want you to be happy at the end of the day.â
The words sounded nice and Jameson let himself trust in itâŠeven if something in his chest tightened at them. He gave a nod, grateful that she wouldnât just disappear from his life again.
She left lunch with Jameson, feeling bitter, annoyed, and lonesome. Yes, she agreed to be friends with him. Yes, their conversation seemed to flow after the initial stillness of discomfort. But she didnât want any of this. She hated hearing him talk about how happy he was with Camille. They were supposed to be the perfect couple - never arguing, never screaming, always trusting each other â not him and Camille. Why couldnât they get it together? She didnât understand it.Â
Before coming to New York, Imani had been so sure of what she wanted - him. She thought it would be easy to win him back, to get back on the rollercoaster of their relationship. But now she could see that he was happily occupied with someone else, riding an easygoing kiddie ride with no thrill, and yet, he was having the time of his life. Imani was pissed. But there was nothing she could do about it; she had to move on, too.Â
As she rummaged through the clothes in her suite's closet, Imani searched for an outfit that would turn heads. Tonight was her last night in New York before returning to Los Angeles tomorrow morning. After forgetting to book a flight earlier in the day, she didn't want to spend her remaining time in the city sulking in her hotel room and watching Sex and the City. So when one of her industry friends mentioned a party just a few blocks away, Imani jumped at the chance to go out.
She stopped flipping through her clothes when her hands landed on a sleek black fitted dress. It hugged her curves perfectly - this was exactly what she needed.
The party was everything she had hoped for - alcohol flowing freely, fine ass men everywhere, and good vibes. It was the perfect distraction from Jameson. Imani took another shot of tequila and relished in its bitter burn as it slid down her throat.
âOkay, bitch, letâs go dance!â She exclaimed to her friend before they made their way from the bar to the crowded dance floor. The music was loud and pulsing, and Imani didnât even know what song played, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was letting the beat move her body and forgetting about Jameson for the night.
As she danced, Imani could feel all eyes on her, but there was one set of eyes in particular that caught her attention. Through the dim lights, she could only make out a few of his features, but she recognized his gaze - he had been watching her all night. And she was sick of him just staring at her without saying a word. So Imani took matters into her own hands.
After the song ended, she confidently strutted over to where he sat. âYou just gone stare at me all night and not say nothinâ?â She asked with a sly smile as she finally got a good look of his handsome face. He had smooth caramel skin, his haircut was sharp like he just got it done, and a perfectly trimmed beard - exactly her type.
He chuckled and licked his full pink lips before standing up to meet her. Okay, he was tall too. Another plus. He stepped closer to her. âOh, I was gonâ come talk to you. I was just waiting for the right time,â he replied, holding out his hand for her to shake. âIâm Isaiah and you?â
âImani,â she said softly as she shook his hand. âItâs nice to meet you.âÂ
"It's nice to meet you too, Imani." He smiled, flashing his diamond tooth fang. He pulled his hand away. Isaiah's neck, wrist, and earlobe were dripped in diamonds that danced harder than the crowd did. "Can I buy you a drink?"
"Yes, I don't see why not. You can get me a lemon drop with a sugar rim."
He chuckled, "I like you already. You know what you want and I fuck with that." He said, a hint of admiration in his voice. She liked him too. Isaiah wasn't Jameson, but he was a perfect distraction to forget him.
EJ glanced at his phone, noticing the two missed calls. One from his manager and another from an artist he was working with while in town...but he had much more important plans going on then as he browsed the website of Aspen resorts. He leaned back in his chair, stretching his legs and rolling his shoulders. The faint sound of knocking at the front door pulled him from his hard work.
He carefully exited out of the browser before making his way to the door, hoping it wasn't Genie. He wanted to surprise her with dinner plans but hadn't even started to cook. Thankfully, it wasn't her. It was his best friend.
âHey. What's up?" EJ said, opening the door wider to let him inside.. He noticed the tension in Jamesonâs posture, the way his fingers twitched against his thigh. âI know you left early last night. You good?â
Jameson sulked into the room and dropped into the chair in the attached living room, taking a deep breath as his face clouded with something heavy. âI had lunch with Imani today.â
EJ shut the door behind him because he knew he was in for one hell of a story but he did his best to keep his tone neutral. âAnd?â
âAndâŠâ Jameson hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck. âI asked her to be friends.â
He took a seat across from Jameson, crossing his arms as he leaned back. He didnât miss the way Jameson avoided his gaze and he immediately braced for bad news. âThatâsâŠprogress, I guess. But you donât sound convinced.â
Jameson exhaled sharply, leaning forward and resting his elbows on his knees. âIt doesnât feel right. I thought it would. I thought that time apart would make things easier when we saw each other again but it's like..." He shook his head, his voice dropping. âItâs like nothingâs changed. Iâm still drawn to her. And I hate it because Camille deserves my best.â
EJ frowned, his jaw tightening. He cared about Jameson, but he wasnât about to sugarcoat things. âYouâre rightâshe does. Sheâs good for you, man. Sheâs steady, supportive, and she actually cares about your well-being. Sheâs not a tornado like Imani.â
Jameson shot him a look, defensive and protective all at once. âImani ain't a tornado. I put her through a lot of shit. She had to choose herself first.â
EJ held up a hand, waving off Jameson's defense. âYeah, you did. It was fucked up. But that being said...she made the choice to walk away. That means staying away. And maybe I'm being a dickhead about it but you gotta admit -- shit with her has always beenâŠcomplicated. Even when y'all were good, shit could go left within a minute. With Camille, itâs simple. Sheâs there for you, no drama, no games. Sheâs what you need, not just what you want in the moment.â
He could see Jameson mulling over his words, the conflict etched across his face. EJ hated seeing his friend like this, but he wasnât going to let him spiral back into the mess heâd clawed his way out of.
Jameson finally spoke, his voice quiet. âBut it ain't that simple. My head knows Camilleâs the better choice, but my heartâŠMan, my heart starts thudding every time Mani girl looks at me. I sat with her at lunch and I just wanted --â He trailed off, shaking his head.
EJ sighed, leaning forward. "Let me know when she looks at you and I'll tell her to close her eyes."
"EJ, c'mon." "No, you c'mon. You spiraled, Jay. Your mama had to move into your house and take care of you." "I was fine. She was being dramatic." "You weren't eating." "I ate!" "Barely! You barely ate enough to get through the day but you drank enough to get through anything. Y'all were rocky before then you cheated but after that, everything got all fucked up."
Jameson looked up at EJ, seemingly wounded by the mention of his infidelity. He saw it was the root cause of all their problems but he was being foolish. He and Imani started having issues before he cheated. âLook, Iâm not saying itâs easy. But youâve worked too hard to get your life back on track to throw it all away for something that might not even work out. Camilleâs solid, Jameson. You and Imani keep burning each other. Stop the cycle.â
Jameson nodded, but EJ could tell he wasnât fully convinced. Heâd seen that look on his friendâs face before, the one that meant he was caught in a tug-of-war between his past and his present so EJ decided to give him something else to think about. âSpeaking of relationshipsâŠIâve been meaning to tell you something.â
Jameson looked up, his expression curious. âWhatâs that?â
EJ hesitated for a moment, a rare flicker of nervousness passing through him. Then he smiled. âIâm going to ask Genie to marry me.â
Jameson blinked, leaning back in his chair. âWaitâwhat? Youâre serious? Youâve only been together a year,â He was staring at him like heâd grown a second head. âAre you sure about this?â
"Of course I'm sure," EJ muttered defensively. "That's my baby. She's sweet, creative, and intriguing. I ain't never met anybody like Genie in my life. She makes me happy and I want to spend the rest of my life making her happy."
Jameson processed what EJ was saying, and a small smile crept onto his face. âOkay, okay. Good. Soft ass. Should I give you the speech?â
"What speech?" "That "If you hurt my sister, I'ma knock ya head off your shoulders" speech?" "Ain't nobody scared of your big ear ass."
Jameson got up, jokingly taking a swipe at EJ but the other man was much faster. He dodged out of his chair and laughed out loud. "I'm gonna need your help to do it. I want to catch her off guard. You, her dad. She loves Aspen. So I'll do there in February."
âAnything you need,â Jameson said without hesitation, though he still looked a little stunned. âYouâve got it. Just let me know.â
EJ nodded, a rare moment of vulnerability settling over him. âThanks, man. It means a lot.â
"Well, let me get out of here. I got dinner plans with Cami." Jameson said, heading to the door before pausing and turning back. He clapped EJ on the shoulder. "You're a very blessed man. Genie's had a heart of gold since she was a kid. If she's your soulmate, God really did smile down on you."
EJ smiled wistfully, his tone soft as he spoke of Genie. "Believe me. I know how lucky I am."
His mind still lingering on his conversation with Jameson when he heard the door to their rental open. Knowing it was Genie, EJ got up and went to the kitchen to make her some tea. "Duke?" She called out, using the nickname he had grown fond of. "You here, baby?"
"Kitchen!" He called out and sure enough, she came around the corner looking every bit as serene and graceful as she usually did. "I take it you feel much better now?"
The past few months had been rough for her. She was building resentment and anger. It was the total opposite of her everyday persona but watching her now...it seemed that she had managed to handle those feelings very well.
"I do. I saw Imani this morning."
EJâs body stiffened for a moment before he forced himself to relax. He didn't hate Imani but he was always on edge. She had the power to twist his two favorite people into knots and he didn't like that. âYeah? Howâd that go?â He beckoned her closer and she came to wrap her arms around him.
âIt wasâŠunexpected,â Genie admitted. âBut we talked. We cried a little bit. I think weâre going to work on our friendship going forward."
âThatâs good, my love,â EJ said sweetly, turning his head to kiss her as he waited for the kettle to warm. "I'm happy for you both."
Genie tilted her head, watching him carefully before she uttered her next words. "She also told me she was going to have lunch with Jameson.â
Even though he knew it, he still felt his stomach drop into his feet. Imani didn't even know how much power she had over Jameson. She had him rethinking his entire relationship with a woman he'd been with for six months. One sighting, two conversations...and he was considering throwing it all away. EJ schooled his expression, wanting to appear neutral to his girlfriend. âI know. He came to see me after.â
Her eyebrows lifted, curiosity in her eyes. âReally? What did he say? What'd they talk about? I didn't call Mani to ask. I didn't want to be too nosy.â
EJ hesitated, then gave her a reassuring smile. âHe said they talked about being friends. They agreed. And uh -- that it felt like a step in the right direction.â
Genie studied him for a moment, brows furrowed. She knew it didn't sound like Jameson. But then...stranger things had happened than him practically growing up and being mature. She seemed to accept his answer with a nod, placing her head on his shoulder. âMaybe it is. I hope so -- for both of them.â
The kettle whistled on the stove and EJ reluctantly pulled away, lifting his hand to pat her bottom gently. "Go get comfortable. I'll make you a cup of tea and we can talk some more."
She gave him a beautiful smile and nodded obediently, practically skipping out of the kitchen giddily. He liked making Genie happy. If he had his way, he'd see nothing but bright smiles and happy giggles from her for the rest of her life.
EJ finished up in the kitchen, making her tea and finding a snack for her to nibble on before dinner. Taking care of Genie was one of his main priorities. It was why he rationalized lying to her about what Jameson said.
As he exited the kitchen and moved into the living room, she was stretched across the couch, knit blanket across her legs as she scrolled her phone. Her hair was curled, pulled into a ponytail. She hadn't even tried and she was gorgeous as hell. âI was thinking we should take a trip. We go back to Cali next week but maybe sometime soon -- we can go somewhere. Take a little trip?â He told her, setting the tray down as she pulled her feet up, giving him room to sit.
Her eyes lit up, and she sat up straighter. âReally? Where to?â
âAnywhere you want,â EJ said with a grin. âBut...I've been looking stuff up in Aspen. That house you told me about? Talked to the owner. She'll let us rent it for a week in February.â
Genieâs smile softened, and she shifted closer, tucking herself under his arm. âYou're too good to me, Ellington Dupree.â She didn't say anything more but she clung to him and he knew she was grateful.
âPlease. This is nothing. Wait til we're together for ten years. I'm going to be hella annoying.â EJ said, pulling her into his side and resting his chin on the top of her head. âI want to make some time for us. No distractions, no work -- just enjoying life together."
EJ kissed the top of her head, feeling a pang of guilt for the lie but knowing it was better this way. âYou know what? Maybe we should make this trip a family thing. Bring your dad? I can bring my mom and sister?"
Genie looked up at him, surprised but intrigued. âThatâs actually a great idea. Theyâd love that.â
EJ smiled, brushing a curl from her face. âGood. Letâs do it.â
She hesitated, biting her lip as if a thought came to her.
"What?" "Hmm? Nothing." "You sure?" "Yeah. Us and our families. Sounds perfect."
She smiled, leaning into him. âThank you. For everything.â
EJ kissed her forehead, holding her tightly. As they sat together in the quiet of the house, he felt a sense of calm settle over him. He was making the right decision. He wanted this for the rest of his life.
The lights of New York spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Camilleâs penthouse. it was a beautiful view but Camille wasn't looking at it. She stood at the kitchen island, her phone buzzing incessantly on the marble countertop. Even glancing at the screen made her nervous.
[ +33123456789 ]: What's going on, Cam? [ +33123456789 ]: Are you seriously not going to tell me? [ +33123456789 ]: You're temporary, remember that.
Camille exhaled sharply, locking the phone and setting it face down. She poured herself a glass of wine, trying to push the words from her mind. Meeting Jameson was never supposed to make her feel anything. He was a handsome face that a friend wanted for herself. Camille's job was just to see if he was open to seeing someone else. Sleeping with him and falling for him wasn't part of the plan. But he was on the verge of being hers now and what her friend wanted didn't really matter anymore.
Even if guilt gnawed at her. The knock at her door startled her, and she quickly smoothed her silk robe before padding over to answer it.
The object of every thought she seemed to have lately stood on the other side, his tall frame illuminated by the hallway light. In his hands were two lush bouquets of roses, one red and one pink.
âGood evening." he said with a soft smile, cradling the roses in his arms.
Camilleâs heart fluttered as she took him in. 6'3, solid frame, the most beautiful green/blue/whatever damn color they felt like being eyes? Jameson Lucas was one of the most beautiful men she'd ever seen...and she spent all her time with male models. "Roses? Youâre spoiling me, Mr. Lucas.â She moved aside, letting him inside as she reached for the flowers.
âI would hope so.â Jameson replied, stepping inside as she moved to place the bouquets in vases. He had been to her place much more than she had been to his so he shut the door behind him -- getting comfortable. "I like the look in your eyes when I do something nice for you. It's very sexy."
Cami glanced over her shoulder at him, her lips curving into a playful smile. âYouâre laying it on very thick tonight. Whatâs the occasion? You missed me?"
Jameson shrugged out of his jacket, kicking off his shoes and lining them up perfectly against the wall in her living room. "Yes." He called out to her, following her into the kitchen. He leaned against the counter, watching her with an intensity that made her stomach flip. âBut no other occasion. I just wanted to see you..â
Even as her hands finished arranging the flowers in its vase, Camille's face was hidden behind the beautiful roses. Her cheeks were warm as she turned to face him. âWell, youâve seen me.â she murmured, not looking at him as he rounded the corner and stepped into her space.
âNot enough,â he replied, wrapping his arms around her waist. Jameson pressed his head against hers, tilting his head to kiss her shoulder. "I told you. Iâve been thinking about you a lot lately."
"Thinking what about me?" "Everything." "Mhm. I know what that means. You cannot put me in that position again. You almost broke my hip last time."
His humorous laugh warmed her heart and she was proud of herself for being the one to make him happy. Her breath caught as he reached for her hand, his fingers warm against hers.
âI"ve been thinking...I want you to be my girlfriend,â Jameson said, his voice steady. "I've been taking things slow because -- of the past. But I have to look forward. No second guessing. You're good for me. I like being good for you. If you would have me, I want to keep building on this."
She turned in his arms, the smile that spread across her face absolutely illuminating. âI wouldn't mind building a life with you.â
"Very enthusiastic response here." He grinned, dipping his head to give her a kiss. She melted against him, the laughter bubbling in her chest gone. The warmth and the steady beat of his heart grounded her. This was real. He chose her...over Imani. This didn't feel temporary.
"I didn't expect to care about you like this." She confessed against his lips, clinging to him tightly. Her hand moved from his, sliding up his wrist. Her fingertips grazed the watch he always wore and then moved to his biceps. He was hers. All hers. "I believe in you and I want you. I'm crazy about you. How's that for enthusiastic?"
âVery good. I like it." He sighed. "You make me happy,â he murmured into her ear.
âYou make me happy too.â she replied, her voice soft.
They stayed like that for a moment, wrapped in each other, swaying in her kitchen. When he pulled back, his lips brushed hers in a tender kiss that left her breathless.
She didn't let herself think back to those messages. Even if Jameson found out, she didn't think he'd care. Neither of them meant to get serious about each other. It didn't matter why she had approached him. Only that she did and they hit it off.
She pushed the thought away, focusing instead on the way he held her, the way he looked at her like she was the only person in the world. For now, she could let herself believe in thisâbelieve in them.

i am here to ask about your kid pirate kink headcanons. SPILL THE BEANS!
Bless you đ like a cursed genie, I have been freed
Now presenting:
â ïžKid Pirates â ïž
Kink Headcannons đł
đ Minors DNI đ
Kid
Pretty even switch, openly acts like a top, but secretly prefers to be a bottom
When he's a top: spanking, hair pulling, deep throating, restraints, knife and bloodplay, spitting, forced orgasm, somnophilia, free use.
He'll convince you to keep a metal egg in your pussy, and he'll use his devil fruit to vibrate it at the worst possible times just to laugh at you. He loves to make you blush.
He has no trouble putting his hand down your pants in the middle of a bar, pulling you out to a alley and fucking you against the cold wall. Someone catches you? He ain't stoppin'
When he's on the recieving end: restrains (specifically seastone), shibari (but its gotta be red cord or he will SCREAM), being a fucking brat, pegging, praise, degradation, pain (but don't be a pussy about it, if you're gonna hit him then fucking hit him). He wants you to spit on him, call him a pig, beat the shit out of him and fuck his ass till hes screaming. Hell, you can even piss on him if you want, whatever you want as long as he feels like a used piece of meat by the end of it
He loves to show off when he's being a top, so he often invites Killer, whether to join or just to watch him fuck, especially if it's Killer's girl
Absolutely has a breeding kink, no cum is wasted with this man, he's putting it inside you raw and if it starts leaking out, he's pushing it back in
Killer
Top, but he doesn't mind being a bottom on occasion. Also enjoys just taking things in equals and going with the flow
Forced orgasm, hair pulling (giving and receiving), restraints, sense deprivation, brat taming (especially Kid). He knows a million different ways to tie beautiful shibari and he'll do it even just to see you wear it casually around the bedroom, or even under your clothes in public. He's got a box under his bed full of toys - blindfolds and cuffs and tools to inflict pleasurable pain
He wants to use tools to smack your ass till the skin breaks, if you can handle it. Your comfort and needs are the most important thing to him. His #1 priority is making you cum over and over till you pass out
He loves to force a orgasm from you in public, to test you, see if you can keep quiet and not get caught
Loves to watch other men fuck you, whether or not you even know he's there, quietly standing in the corner palming himself while you're getting railed. He also loves to play the part of a intruder taking you by force, always prediscussed and consenting of course
I mentioned in my other post that he cums a lot, and its got some spray and distance to it. He takes full advantage of that, you're not leaving his room without a shower unless you wanna walk around absolutely coated in cum
King of aftercare though, he's always gonna end the night bathing you so very softly, laying tender kisses over your body and attending to your every need
Late addition someone reminded me off and I don't know how I forgot cos AGREED, this man absolutely loves to eat pussy, its the most important meal of the day
Heat
Bottom, but he'll top if you reallllly want him to
Please call him a good boy, please call him a good boy, PLEASE CALL HIM A GOOD BOY
Seriously, this man eats up praise, but he does like being treated like a piece of meat on occasion
Facesitting, squirting right on his face or cock, watersports, roleplay, pegging, cock rings, edging (he's been such a good boy please let him cum), wax play, choking
Somnophilia, but he'll always be so apologetic afterwards. He just can't help himself when you're laying there looking so fucking sexy
He's gonna worship every inch of your body till you're absolutely begging him to just fucking put his dick in you already
If he's really, really good maybe you'll let him cum on your feet (yes I am a firm believer in the common headcannon that Heat likes Feet)
Wire
The toppest top to ever top, don't even THINK about making him your bottom. This man is a experienced dom through and through
In fact, he's the most experienced of all the Kid Pirates, so if you want a orgy he's the man to talk to, and he's gonna make sure everyone is safe and comfortable, and everyone knows the safeword or colour system. He's gonna make sure everyone gets the aftercare they need as well (and has absolutely chewed out Kid on more than one occasion about it, for both forgetting to give aftercare and refusing it himself)
He loves to inflict pain, he loves to see you bound and gagged, he loves to see you being thrown around between multiple partners. He won't fuck you though till you've cum at least five times, because as I mentioned in my previous post, the man is BIG, hes not going to inflict pain on you like that, never like that. You'll be too fucked out and gaping to notice any pain by the time he's gracing you with his fat cock
Truly he doesn't care that much about getting off, he prefers to help others get off. He likes being in control of your orgasms, and he'll edge you if you don't behave exactly how he orders you to. You'll cum when and if he allows it
He's willing to give anything a go as long as it's getting you off and everyone consents, but controlling multiple subs at once is his favourite. His go to is usually Heat and a girl, ordering them around like they themselves are tools to make each other cum till they're both a pile of jelly
Killer learned everything he knows about topping from Wire
Please tell me if you have a headcannon I missed, infect me with your sexy sexy brain worms, maybe they'll make it into a fic đ

October 7 2023
One day, Sonic got into an accident while trying to show off and do daredevil stunts in a new zone. Unfortunately, he barely made it and accidentally broke his leg.
While being forced to sit around and recover, he got bored very quickly, becoming a nuisance to Tails who was treating his injured foot. Tails knew he didn't really mean to be a dick head, but it was beginning to get on his nerves as the stir crazy hedgehog was practically bouncing off the walls trying to find something to do.
With a glimmer of hope, Tails' communicator buzzed with Knuckles' message about their scheduled DnD session today. The kit completely forgot about it because he was trying to wrangle Sonic into sitting still to not ruin the cast. Something sparked in Tails' brain and quickly made a group chat with Amy and Knuckles to see if they were all down to playing Dungeons and Dragons for a quick one shot.
Amy pointed out that she was watching a sick Cream & Cheese today while Vanilla was out on a trip that she didn't go into detail with, so she couldn't leave the house for several hours to play. Tails pointed out that they could all go over to her house to play, and she immediately got excited, listing off all the things she was going to set up before they come over.
Knuckles was a little apprehensive, because he wanted to continue the story they were already playing, and he didn't want to leave the Master Emerald unguarded. Amy swooped in and said that the Chaotix owed her a favor for helping them with a case, so she could simply use the favor to have them watch the Master Emerald. Still unsure, Knuckles agreed, but pointed that he would make several calls through the one shot to make sure everything was okay on the island.
With everything planned out, Tails went over to Sonic to let him know what he got planned for them today. At first, Sonic was against it, saying he's not as into the roleplaying and numbers game as his little brother. Which led to Tails rambling first about all of the times the hedgehog has told him about that time he went to Camelot and fighting a Genie in a lamp, but then pointed out that it was either this, or sitting on the bed still with nothing to do.
Sonic immediately agreed after that, but embarrassingly muttered that he didn't need to do all of this just because he was bored. Tails huffed, his twinned tails twitching in mild irritation, that this was more for him than Sonic because it'd finally get him to stop bugging him while he was trying to do something.
Tails helped him get on his crutches and over to the Tornado, and running back inside the fallen-plane-made-home (base) to grab a large box of fidget toys and his DnD notes & premade character sheets.
While in the air, Tails rambled about how he's wanted to play this one shot he made for a few months now, how to play the game because Sonic has never played before, and tried to warm him to the idea of playing DnD with them more maybe down the line even if his leg isn't broken. Sonic just sat in the back of the plane, idly listening to Tails' ramblings while mindlessly playing with a fidget toy and feeling the wind in his face. Though the wind didn't feel as great as when he's standing on the wing, feeling any wind against his quills at all is refreshing after being cooped up for a few days at home recovering.
Once they landed just outside of Sunset City, Sonic insisted on helping Tails carry everything. The fox just looked at the injured hedgehog unimpressed but eventually caved and let him hide the DnD notes in his quills. Due to Sonic being in crutches, they ended up taking the subway over to the heart of the city to get to the Rose Family's Apartment. The brothers made small talk while walking, talking about what projects they're working on or where they plan to explore to next.
The duo made it to the apartment and noticed that Knuckles was already there, and laughed at the fastest thing alive being late. The blue blur fired back that he was currently out of commission at the moment and the subway station was having some technical difficulties. Red and Blue continued to butt heads as Yellow and Pink continued to set up the session table (coffee table). Tails only butted into the light hearted bickering to ask Sonic to give him the DnD notes back.
As the fighting calmed down, Amy revealed the snacks and comedically large box of costumes she has for everyone to wear to help them get into character. Tails revealed the characters they could choose, with Knuckles choosing the Cleric, Sonic the Fighter, Amy the Wizard, and Tails being the DM.
They all got situated in their costumes, character sheets, couch placements, and pillow arrangements while snacks, dnd dice, and fidget toys littered all around them.
It went great, Sonic quickly understood the rules and how to play the game, Cream sometimes came over to watch the battles they faced, Knuckles and Sonic only sometimes butted heads, Amy had a lot of fun getting in character and casting spells that wowed the table, and Tails was relieved that Sonic was actually having fun.
Tails laughed while Sonic and Knuckles were quipping back and forth again while Amy was in the kitchen making something for them all to eat for dinner, a soft smile formed on his white muzzle as he realized Sonic was petting the tail he absentmindedly rested on his brother.
We should do this more often, he thought.

DEMONIC FEATURES HCS
Random Om demon hcs + OM Demons x gn reader
Pt. 1 (Lucifer, Mammon, Levi) | Pt. 2 (4567) | Pt. 3 (Royal Trio) Coming soon
CW: suggestive but not much, just âslutâ used in regard to clothing and vague suggestion of leviathan with two. đ
A/N: ive had om since like fuck idk since that first genie event or sth WHATEVER the point is its been a MINUTE and i only JUST watched the anime đđđ theyre so sweet and silly i cant take witttttt i need to write for them i love them all so muxygehwhwhshshwbwb I swearrr om is one of the only otome where i can gaf about more than 2 or 3 characters
Also u should read them. All; I throw in general hcs too
Lucifer: The Peacock
- I think his wings should have eyes in them like its such a missed opportunity for a reference to his animal counterpart (peacock), a reference to biblical angels and a reference to the fact that he always somehow knows what everyoneâs up to and what their ulterior motives are. Ik he has a few on his outfit but it just doesnât give that otherworldly creature dread feeling you should get when looking at a demon (Not to go on a tangent but when I see a hot demon character I want to be afraid of them but then go âwait why is this hotâ)
- Also while he technically has 4 wings, I think that when he flares out his wings they should expand in such a way that makes it appear like he has more
- I imagine his wings stretch out and look bigger whenever he feels proud of and satisfied with himselfâ esp when heâs around you; its cute tbh but he also does it when hes super pissed; are you gonna take that chance? đ€
- Imagine if the little diamond on his forehead was a closed eye and every now and again it opens especially when he feels as if his pride is threatened or when heâs generally angry. Personally I think that would be sick af
- I KNOW THE MARKINGS ARE JUST LIKE BIRTHMARKS BUT IMAGINE THEY FEEL DIFFERENT FROM THE NORMAL SKIN like Luciferâs markings could be feathers covering his jaw and below (see: Howl Pendragon bird form, kinda) and they feel like real feathers too
- I think we all agree that whenever he feels protective of you heâd wrap his wings around you and shield you from anyoneâs view but his own
- Keeps a feather on you (probably gives it to you as a gift) so he can keep an eye on you at all times (This is not a pun; imo he can see through the eyes on his wings when he closes his main eyes and opens his third)
- Pact mark spans from the nape of your neck to about 1/3 your spine (pretty big but not humongous) and is in the shape of a peacock feather but when his powers/benefits are used the barbs of the feather move in a way similar to fire and the eye in the center opens (it kinda tickles and/or sends a chill down your spine)
- Pact mark allows him to locate you in pretty much any place without an uber powerful magic barrier or like interference (Which I think would make sense considering he always knows whatâs up + he DID say making a pact with him entails you are his and he is yours [since you can summon him wnv I think and command him to do stuff])
- Something he already does but I just noticed lines up with peacocks is tilting his head when heâs sick of everyoneâs shit
- OH MY GODDDDD HIS WINGS DRAPE DOWN LIKE PEACOCK TAIL FEATHERS. HE HAS LONG WINGS. LOOK AT THIS AND TELL ME THAT SHIT WOULDNâT BE MAJESTIC AS HELL ON HIM
Mammon: The Corvid
- I think his wings are nicely placed but I would make them curl/angle upwards more to more resemble bird wings (Ik Lucifer is the bird wing guy but hes a bird too đđ) kinda like this
- I think that while the bones are exposed on his wings, on the back of the wings there should be patches of feathers showing he lost them in his fall from grace aaaa đ«đ«đ«
- I know the demons have either wings or tails but like. Entertain this thought: Mammon with cute lil tail feathers đđ mammon with a bird tail would just fit so well im sorry
- He subconsciously lowers/bows his head while talking to people he respects and admires (like you and Lucifer) like laying his head down on his arm or desk or sth
- Collects stuff that looks interestingâ stuff he thinks he can probably use or fix up and sell. Pretty much proven but I feel I should emphasize how bad it gets, like he needs to clean his room at least weekly or his room will be full of junk đ (he js like me fr)
- Great at impressions; I THINK this was included in the story at one point (?) but idk so I will mention it here. Give him a voice and he can mimic it pretty well (Brothers would def use this to their advantage for silly little schemes if mammon werenât charging an arm and a leg for his services gn)
- Will engage in anything he finds interesting and stimulating; the reason he sucks ass in school isnât really because hes dumb but he has a hard time focusing on shit that isnt stimulating (thatâs kinda how it is for most people but like especially for him, he indulges heavily into freedom/temptation; usually wonât do anything he doesnât want to)
- Blinged OUT. More rings, a gold necklace thing (those thick round ones), more ear piercings and i like the drawing someone did with his fangs being gold however ntm as the absence of such things also shows his balance between his heavenly virtue and deadly sin (Charity vs Greed) and how despite his sin he really can be a modest guy
- Markings should cover his face and be little portals that let him summon grabby hands and sometimes he gets you stuff and sends it through the portal on your body (your pact mark)
- Speaking of pact marks, I think his is on your heart or right above and is like a dripping fingerprint that turns into a full blown hand print (maybe even the monkeyâs paw?) when his powers/benefits are being used; Its hard to describe the feeling but when his hand goes through it feels like youâre gagged right then and there and its a little bit hard to breathe when you first made the pact because its a little uncomfortable but as you got used to the sensation and nurtured your magic ability, your breathing went back to normal
- I promised myself I wasnât gonna get into outfits too much because theyâre. Um anyway all Iâll say is he should have some slutty bellbottoms in his demon form idgaf
A/N: im so sorry mammon fans for the neglect i didnt know what to really put since crows are just like. Silly feathery black blobs
Leviathan: The Serpent
- He should have poisonous spines on his tail that lie dormant but flare up whenever he feels strong emotion (embarrassment, anger, jealousy etc) and in relation to that he should have a few scales visible on his neck but more should appear leading up his face to his eye when he feels these strong emotions like his skin hardens and turns to scales (almost like how our veins bulge when we humans get very angry) it would be cool af ngl and kinda fits how his voice changes when hes annoyed (I SWEAR it gets all deep and like gravelly ig)
- ALSO i mentioned in another post but his eyes should become super snake-like (pupils slimming down) when he gets angry/envious but adding onto that, his pupils should dilate like a cat when he feels a positive emotion like excitement (though I think his pupils would dilate when looking at you lovingly, if you flustered him his pupils would constrict, not because its negative, but because he doesnât know how to handle it)
- Grows much taller in his demon form imo since sea serpents are big as hell (he doesnât become a giant or anything but he does grow like a foot or so which. He might as well be a giant bc hes alr pretty tall) Honestly I think all demons grow in their demon forms but he just grows an exceptional amount compared to any other demon
- TwoâŠ. Nvm iykyk fr a certified hood classic and i dont see enough of it in fics đ
- Often accidentally sticks out his tongue while angry and bites his tongue and it just ruins the mood as well as any fear anyone had of him bye. Hes so goofy i just love him
- Long ahh tongue; snake reminiscent
- The back of his slut zip jacket should be vaguely shaped like fins + would it be wrong to say he should have slutty bellbottoms too? Canât I dream? đ not as wide as Mammonâs though heâs not doing it like him fr
- Wraps his tail around you as if trying to shield you from public view with his spines whenever he gets jealous or protective
- I think it would be cool if the design on his jacket was a fishbone or if his tail was a bit translucent and showed bones inside (Ik tails donât have bones generally but bear with me here) as a reference to how the Leviathan became a meal after being defeated
- Subconsciously moves slowly and methodically like the way he leans his head in slowly as you talk is very snake of him
- Big yawn (can open his mouth really wide)
- Pact mark is on the side of your neck, a bit closer to the front though and is shaped like a scale initially but grows into a very large patch of black scales with a purple underside, covering everything in the area almost like a bad rash when you use his powers/benefits
- Activation feels as if youâre being suffocated slowly, like water is slowly entering your lungs as the ârashâ spreads at first but, again, as you get used to it this sensation wears off but a feeling that wonât ever wear off when activating the pact mark is the feeling that Levi is there looming by your side through the mark but just out of view whenever you try to see him; itâs a little maddening
- Can find you with sth similar to echolocation and itâs especially effective in water; can also spread the scales further with enough willpower and/or jealousy, basically creating a shield for your body

I've been seeing a lot of people talk about how Hazel is a boring protagonist(or I guess more like... people complaining about how other people are saying that? Idk I'm not on Twitter), and at first I kind of agreed with those takes because all I had seen were random clips. BUT, now that I've watched the show, I disagree. I don't think Hazel is a boring character, at least not conceptually. I think the issue is that the majority of her RELATIONSHIPS are really boring.
Hazel on her own has a lot of potential. She's caring, she's funny, she has a tendancy to overthink, her design is really good, she has realistic problems most people can relate to... she's just all around a really well built character. The problem is that almost none of the characters she interacts with consistently have any depth, and that causes her relationships with them to fall flat, which causes HER to fall flat because at the end of the day, a character is only as strong as their relationships with other characters. We're TOLD what her relationships with others are like, we're TOLD what the other characters' personality traits are, but we're never SHOWN those things. I think the episode where they deal with Jasmine's fears is probably the biggest offender. Jasmine herself acts as more of a plot device then anything else, with her fears being used as a stepping stone to teach HAZEL a lesson, rather then allowing the episode to focus on Jasmine overcoming those fears. The scene where Jasmine actually FACES those fears ends up being just thrown in at the end as a way to solve the conflict, which tbh wasn't that engaging in the first place because Hazel had no personal attatchment to any of Jasmine's fears... that's just kind of a bad episode overall tbh it's where all of the shows flaws are the most prominent but I DIGRESS-
Another really good example of the poor relationship building is her relationship with her brother, Antony, who we literally don't even get to SEE until well into the second half of the season. I haven't actually gotten to that episode yet, so I can't really judge Antony as a character, but I CAN judge how they've been setting him up so far! Which hasn't been very good! Instead of SHOWING US Hazel's relationship with him through flashbacks or something, the writers just have Hazel TELL US how she feels about her brother and things they used to do together. It just doesn't have the same impact as actually seeing their relationship play out would, y'know? They've been telling us about Hazel's relationships with other characters instead of showing us those relationships, and it's been hurting Hazel as a character.
The only relationships she has that we actually get to watch her BUILD are her relationship with Cosmo & Wanda and her relationship with Dev, which, while the ladder is genuinely really well done and interesting(aside from a couple pacing issues but honestly the show is chock full of those so whatever), the former ALSO falls really flat because Cosmo & Wanda aren't really... characters. They're iconic, sure, and they're really funny, but they're also mostly just plot devices. They're here to grant Hazel's wishes(aka cause the plot of the episode) and be funny. That's it. Which is fine, those kinds of characters obviously have their place, but when they're the only ones your main character consistently interacts with? That causes some problems. It's like if, in the movie Aladdin, instead of focusing mostly on the relationship between Aladdin and Jasmine, they focused entirely on his relationship with the Genie. The Genie is mostly just here to move the plot along and say funny things, so having him be the character Aladdin interacts with the MOST kind of breaks the movie. Having a story where almost all the interactions are between the main character and the comic relief just doesn't work.
Honestly I think the issues with Hazel's relationships are probably why people are more drawn to Dev as a character then they are to Hazel, because while Hazel almost exclusively interacts with characters who could be replaced by cardboard cutouts and nobody would tell the difference, Dev doesn't. Dev's relationships are a lot more engaging because all of the characters he interacts with are SIGNIFICANTLY more fleshed out then the ones Hazel interacts with. His relationship with Hazel is engaging because it's an emotional rollercoaster for both of them. His relationship with Peri is interesting because Peri is much newer to being a fairy godparent then Cosmo & Wanda are, meaning he's more likely to make mistakes. His relationship with his dad is interesting because it's literally the main motivation for his character, and we actually get to SEE WHY THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS THE WAY IT IS. His relationship with Irep is more interesting because Irep is a weird little shit who's mostly just using Dev to take over fairyworld, and he also has an interesting dynamic with Peri! Dev's relationships are all WAY better executed then Hazel's, and honestly I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that Dev is an antagonist who mostly interacts with other antagonists. He's at the center of almost every single ongoing conflict in the show, which is often times what makes a character and their relationships interesting: conflict. I also think he benefits from getting expanded on LATER in the show, since by that point all of the writers would've had a much better feel for all of the characters, making it easier for them to actually show what his relationships are like instead of outright telling us skgnvkdmfkekfndn
Now, was the point of all this to say that I think Dev would be a better protagonist then Hazel? No. Absolutely not no- he has a more interesting, better executed story then Hazel does so far, sure, but he just. Wouldn't be able to carry an episodic show like FOP on his own I'm sorry- we've seen the kind of wishes he makes, they're not particularly interesting. Because he's a rich kid who can do basically whatever he wants. Plus, his conflict with Peri just isn't really built to be stretched out over an entire season, which it would HAVE to be if Dev was the protagonist of a Fairly Oddparents, because the entire premise of the show is "this kid gets a Fairy Godparent, what kind of wacky hijinks will they get up to now?" Plus there's the fact that the narrative has been treating his parental neglect with a lot more gravity then Timmy's ever was, meaning if the show was from his perspective they'd have to tone down the things that make him interesting to keep the show from getting outright miserable- Dev is not a good character to make carry that kind of show. Dev should not be the main character. HOWEVER! Do I think the show would be more interesting if we got more episodes featuring him and Hazel hanging out together? Yes absolutely. They bounce off of eachother incredibly well, and once Peri is introduced we also get to see Peri's relationship with his parents and how THEY interact, and it's just. So much more interesting then seeing just Hazel and CosWan. Or Hazel's cardboard cutout friends. Honestly I'd go as far as to say he should've been Hazel's dueteragonist instead of just a recurring character, kinda like a(hopefully) better executed Chloe. It'd give Hazel a more interesting character to bounce off of then Cosmo & Wanda. Either that or I think Peri should've been Hazel's fairy godparent instead of Cosmo & Wanda, because he has more room to grow and develope as a character then they do, making his potential dynamic with Hazel a lot more interesting. Idk just in general I think having Hazel interact almost exclusively with Cosmo & Wanda was a mistake-
Also should be noted; I am saying this as someone who has never seen the original Fairly Oddparents. I don't know if the original show had these issues aswell or not, everything I know about the original comes from random YouTube videos I watched out of curiousity/boredom. Either way if the original DID have issues with Timmy's relationships being really boring then uh. That's not an excuse for A New Wish to do the same, I guess. Idk where I'm going with this... also sorry if this essay is incoherent! I have a lot of thoughts about how Hazel's relationships are really poorly executed and I just needed to get them out skfnvdkdjfndn- if you want me to elaborate on anything feel free to leave a comment or send me an ask :)
