Hey so I've actually been on tumblr for a while now, but I think this is the first time I've actually been brave enough to, like, interact. This booping thing is wild and also maybe the most fun I've had in a while.
I'm into just about anything fantasy related, but especially LotR, PJO, and SoC. Also like the old CBS crime dramas (NCIS, H5O, MacGyver, etc).
Anyways. Shoutout to the tumblr people cause this is fantastic.

for the love of language
Kaz Brekker was stubborn. When he had his mind set on doing something, he did it. No matter how difficult, no matter how simplistic. He wasn't sure what category 'learning his girlfriend's language' fell into.
Kaz lovingly and painstakingly learns precious few words in Suli just so that he can surprise his Wraith with them.
| AO3 | SOC Sideblog |
word count: 948
It wasn't an unknown fact amongst the Dregs and Crows that Kaz Brekker knew one language, and one language alone.
He was stubborn, and though his rough voice and the hints of an accent that stemmed from southern Kerch were normal for him, hearing him reciting words in Suli was... odd. Jesper recognised the language from the few times he'd heard Inej muttering the melodic syllables, although he suspected most of it was just curses and swears, much like Jesper's messy Kaelish.
Jesper didn't want to run the risk of Kaz murdering him for snooping, but he did regale this to Wylan over cups of tea in the merchling's basement workshop.
"I was just walking past- y'know, because he'd asked me to grab a map for a job, and I hear him mumbling in Suli." Jesper said, sighing dramatically. This elicited a small chuckle from Wylan, who sipped his tea and then replied; "I think he has some sort of plan. He's never bothered learning more than basic decencies in other languages, and even then they're not great in terms of pronunciation."
Jesper nodded. "He tried to say hello to my Da in Kaelish and I'm pretty sure he accidently insulted him." Even if the anecdotes his father told him weren't exactly true, Colm Fahey was probably justified in his distaste. Some words in Kaelish were similar to others, and a slight error in wording could lead a pleasant hello to turn into somebody's mother getting called a whore. And it was also Kaz, who would probably do something like that purposefully; fully aware of what he was doing yet still taking the chance to be an ass.
Wylan smiled at this. "Are you going to ask him about it?" he asked.
Jesper shook his head. "He'd probably break my arms and threaten to gut me and leave my intestines for the crows or something like that."
"It's Kaz, of course he'd say that..." Wylan laughed quietly.
"I certainly wouldn't put it past him." Inej said with a smile from the doorway, and Jesper nearly jumped out of his skin as Wylan waved to her with a small, shy grin on his face.
"Saints, Inej, do you have to do that every time?" Jesper complained, rolling his eyes fondly. Inej didn't reply, simply shrugging and stepping towards the two. She sat on Wylan's workbench and looked at both of them with mock-sternness.
"Kaz has a job for you two. Some merchant from Shu Han." Inej passed Jesper a small, folded slip of paper- Kaz's signature way of informing them all of jobs.
Jesper flicked the note open and cleared his throat. "Shu Han merchant ship docked in Second Harbour- Saints, it's like he doesn't want us around all day today- unloading into the Stadhall. Jesper has the map." he read aloud, and the way Wylan immediately hung on the gunslinger's every word with such affection in his eyes almost made Inej laugh aloud.
Wylan hummed in response. "So this merchant if working with somebody in the Merchant Council, then."
"Yeah, and he's obviously going to be..."
Inej slid off the table and walked away, leaving the other two conversing about Kaz's latest job. It didn't need her skills, and she had a feeling that Kaz wanted her nearby.
She pulled up her hood, opting to meet Kaz, wherever he was. She didn't bother climbing the rafters and jutting beams to get to the window or the roof of the building next door and have to climb around searching for him, not in this weather. Besides, she knew Kaz would either be in his office, or somewhere on the Zentsbridge.
As it turned out, Kaz was leaning on the bridge's railings, gazing into the murky grey-green of the canal. He didn't move as Inej's neared his left shoulder, but he did shift his bad leg slightly. "Hello, Inej. Don't you have a job you need to help out on?" he said quietly, though the slight smile in his voice betrayed his joking manner.
Inej breathed a laugh, leaning on the railing next to him, back to the canal. "I wanted to know what you were planning. You normally make sure I'm with Wylan and Jes just in case either of them get distracted, be it by each other of something else." she replied.
Kaz shrugged. "Who's to say I'm planning something?"
Inej rolled her eyes. "Kaz Brekker, do you need to be so stubborn?"
Kaz tilted his head, meeting her eyes. "No." he said simply. "But stubbornness got me where I am today, and it got you out of the Menagerie, didn't it?"
"My stubbornness or your stubbornness?" Inej chuckled.
Kaz didn't reply at first; instead he moved away from the bridge's railing, and turned to face Inej, face almost expressionless but his eyes were less cold then they normally were.
"Volim te." he whispered, just enough for Inej to hear.
She swore her heart stopped beating for a solid five seconds when he said that.
It was a known fact that Kaz Brekker, that Dirtyhands knew Kerch, and Kerch alone. His accent was southern, from somewhere like Lij, but his language was that of someone born and raised in Kerch.
My mother is Ketterdam, he'd said, she birthed me in the harbour.
"What?" Inej murmured, too surprised.
My father is profit. I honour him daily.
"Volim te." Kaz repeated, and Inej can't help but laugh.
"Your pronunciation is awful, Saints."
Kaz glared at her, but it wasn't serious.
Inej moved towards Kaz, about to hug him. She stopped. "May I?" she breathed.
Kaz nodded slowly, and Inej pulled him into a hug.
"I love you too, Kaz Brekker."

fun linguistic things i learned recently: when you pronounce a consonant at the end of a french word because the next word starts with a vowel, it's called a "liaison" (for example, when saying c'est on its own, you don't pronounce the T, but when saying c'est un, you do pronounce the T. i did learn this in school but i didn't specifically remember what it was called)
i have also noticed a similar phenomenon in the way some english ppl talk, where they will add an R sound between a word that ends with a vowel and a word that starts with a vowel. for example, i saw a bird becomes i saw'r a bird. it's called an "intrusive R"
idk what the point of this post is. i just find it so fascinating

Kingdom of Ash Chapter 10 Quote highlights:
The soft voice was deceptive—Aedion had learned that these weeks. Perhaps a weapon in its own right, to make people believe him gentle-hearted and weak. To mask the sharp mind and sharper instincts behind it.
As if these troops weren't for their queen, hadn't come for Aelin when she'd called. As if the Bane served anyone else.
Ren blew out a breath toward the tent's high ceiling. A large space, but unadorned. They hadn't time or resources to furnish it into a proper war tent, setting up only a cot, a few braziers, and this table, along with a copper tub behind a curtain in the rear. As soon as this meeting was over, he'd find someone to fill it for him.
Had Aelin been here, she might have heated it within a heartbeat. He shut out the tightness in his chest. Had Aelin been here, one breath from her and the five thousand troops they'd exhausted themselves killing today would have been ash on the wind
None of the lords around him had questioned where their queen was. Why she hadn't been on the field today. Perhaps they hadn't dared.
Aedion stopped long enough to greet those men, to ofter a hand on the shoulder or a word of reassurance. Some would last the night. Many wouldn't. He halted at other fires as well. To commend the fighting done, whether the soldiers hailed from Terrasen or the Wastes or Wendlyn. At a few of them, he even shared in their ales or meals. Rhoe had taught him that—the art of making his men want to follow him, die for him. But more than that, seeing them as men, as people with families and friends, who had as much to risk as he did in fighting here. It was no burden, despite the exhaustion creeping over him, to thank them for their courage, their swords. But it did take time. The sun had fully set, the muddy camp cast in deep shadows amid the fires, by the time he neared Kyllian's tent.
"Aedion."
He'd know that voice if he were blind.
Lysandra stepped from behind a tent, her face clean despite her muddy clothes.
He halted, finally feeling the weight of the dirt and gore on himself. "What."
"Is this some attempt to reenter my good graces?" He was too tired, too weary, to bother beating around the truth.
Her emerald eyes went as cold as the winter night around them. "I don't give a damn about your good graces. I care about this army being worn down with unnecessary movements."
She'd been in some small, unnoticed form. Precisely why so many kingdoms and courts had hunted down and killed any shifters. Unparalleled spies and assassins.
She crossed her arms. "If you don't want me sitting in on your war councils, then say so." He took in her face, her stiff posture. Exhaustion lay heavy on her, her golden skin pale and eyes haunted. He didn't know where she was staying in this camp. If she even had a tent. Guilt gnawed on him for a heartbeat.
"When, exactly, will our queen make her grand return?"
Her mouth tightened. "Tonight, if you think it wise."
"To miss the battle and only appear to bask in the glory of victory? I doubt the troops would find that heartening."
"Then tell me where, and when, and I'll do it."
"Just as you blindly obeyed our queen, you'll now obey me?"
"I obey no man," she snarled. "But I'm not fool enough to believe I know more about armies and soldiers than you do. My pride is not so easily bruised."
Aedion took a step forward. "And mine is?"
"What I did, I did for her, and for this kingdom. Look at these men, your men-look at the allies we've gathered and tell me that if they knew the truth, they would be so eager to fight."
"The Bane fought when we believed her dead. It would be no different."
"It might be for our allies. For the people of Terrasen." She didn't back down for a moment. "Go ahead and punish me for the rest of your life. For a thousand years, if you wind up Settling."
With Gavriel for his father, he might very well. He tried not to dwell on the possibility. He'd barely interacted with the Fae royals or their soldiers beyond what was necessary. And they mostly kept to themselves. Yet they did not sneer at him for his demi-Fae status; didn't really seem to care what blood flowed in his veins so long as he kept them alive.
"We have enough enemies as it is," Lysandra went on. "But if you truly wish to make me one of them as well, that's fine. I don't regret what 1 did, nor will I ever."
"Fine," was all he could think to say.
She shrewdly looked him over. As if weighing the man within. "It was real, Aedion," she said. "All of it. I don't care if you believe me or not. But it was real for me."
He couldn't bear to hear it. "I have a meeting," he lied, and stepped around her. "Go slither off somewhere else."
Hurt flashed in her eyes, quickly hidden. He was the worst sort of bastard for it.
She was a stupid fool. A stupid fool, to have said anything, and to now feel something in her chest crumpling. She had enough dignity left not to beg. To not watch Aedion go into Kyllian's tent and wonder if it was for a meeting, or because he was seeking to remind himself of life after so much killing today. To not give one inch of space to the burning in her eyes. Lysandra made her way toward the comfortable tent Sol of Suria had given her near his. A kind, sharply clever man—who had no interest in women. The younger brother, Ravi, had eyed her, as all men did. But he'd kept a respectful distance, and had talked to her, not her chest, so she liked him, too. Didn't mind having a tent in their midst. An honor, actually. She'd gone from having to crawl into the beds of lords, doing whatever they asked of her with a smile, to fighting beside them. And she was now a lady herself. One whom both the Lords of Suria and the Lord of Allsbrook recognized, despite Darrow spitting on it. It might have filled her with gladness had battle not worn her out so completely that the walk back to the tent seemed endless. Had the general-prince not filleted her spirit so thoroughly. Every step was an effort, the mud sucking at her boots.

Im not overly invested in the series but i really hope they dont mispronounce jordie's name in shadow and bone. The audiobook mispronounces it (and also joost) by saying it with a hard j instead of a soft y-like j
oh this ask has informed me i've ALSO been saying it wrong. learn something new every day!

when they walk in on you changing
dazai, atsushi, chuuya, fyodor, akutagawa
warnings: lowercase writing, suggustive? (not to extreme), cursing!
a/n: reader is referred as they/them! REQUESTS ARE OPEN!! this is also my first time writing for fyodor!!! plz expect him to be so out of character- 🙃 also- i can't speak russian- so apologies for any spelling mistakes- i used google translate...part two??
dazai osamu 🩹
Tumblr media
stop.
he would become such a flirt.
after a long day of work, there was nothing more he wanted than to come home and be greeted by his sweet belladonna.
by long i mean him literally just annoying kunikida to death and not lifting a finger- barely.
the sound of the keys clashing together was deaf in your ears as you were wearing headphones.
you were in your room, wearing nothing but a t-shirt and underwear.
you were rummaging through your drawer, softly singing to yourself as you picked a pair of pajama pants.
meanwhile, your boyfriend has entered the apartment, locking the door behind him.
he called out for you, however no response was given.
he grew suspicious...but didn't panic.
he called out for you again, taking off his tan trenchcoat and hung it on the hook beside the front door.
as he entered deeper into the apartment, he heard the soft sound of your singing.
his eyes lingered over to the half-closed door of your bedroom you and he shared.
he peeked his eye in the crack- and smiled to himself. slowly he opened the door wider, watching you softly shake your butt as you vibed to your song.
headphones still upon your head.
dazai's smile turned into a smirk as he entered the room.
you picked a pair of pants- now putting them on- still unaware dazai was in the room as well.
before you could put your leg into the pant leg- you felt your right headphone lift upward, and a whisper tickled your ear.
"well~ this isn't what i was expecting when coming home~"
"HOLY SHI-"
you screamed.
throwing your pants at dazai's direction and fell backwards on the bedsheets.
his laughter filled the room as he held your pants in his arms- towering over you.
"DAZAI!!"
"hi 'donna~" he winked, and you blushed mad.
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"
you covered your body with the blankets as dazai gasped; "this isn't just your room! we share this room, remember?"
"I DON'T CARE IF IT'S THE PRESIDENTS ROOM- GET OUT!" you whined, throwing pillows at him and he held his arms up in defense.
"okay-okay! i'm leaving!" he laughed, starting to walk out of the room.
"eh- HEY! GIVE ME MY PANTS BACK!-DAZAI!"
when you finished changing, you awkwardly walked out of the room and peeked your head through the living room where you saw dazai lounging on the couch watching tv.
he noticed you from the corner of his eye and smirked, "and they return from their hiding~"
you blushed.
"shut up! i will shove a sock down your throat-"
"after seeing that body~ i hope it's more then a soc-"
you proceed to toss a pillow at him and tackle him- hitting him over and over again as he begged for mercy.
atsushi nakajima 🐯
Tumblr media
dudes a sweetheart.
gives you privacy.
first- he woke you up.
in the sweetest way possible.
with a kiss on the nose, leading to your cheeks, neck, jaw, bridge of your nose, forehead, temple..until he reached your lips.
he smiled hearing you stir awake, "morning, sunshine.." he whispered, brushing your bangs away from your face.
"..mornin'.." you yawned, rubbing your eyes.
he giggled at your cat like strech and kissed your cheek, getting out from under the covers...that just lead to you hiding under all of them- having all the room to yourself.
"you have to get up to, y'know?" he reminded, peeking at the clock that read 5: 56, "we have work!"
all you did was nod.
he smiled and left the room- going to the bathroom with his dress attire.
2 minutes passed and he has yet to come back to the room, so you assumed you'd just get changed here.
so you rolled out of bed, getting your work attire set and ready.
you pulled your shirt off your body, and laid it on your bed. you took your pants off- and was about to put on the pants until you heard the door open.
as atsushi opened the door; you whip your head toward him as you yelped and fell onto the bed and backwards onto the floor.
"OH my god- Y/N!!" he cried, rushing over to you and was about to ask if you were okay until he noticed...you were half-naked.
he screamed, apologies left and right, up and down until he covered his eyes and ran backward, hitting the bed and falling the same way you did perviously.
"I'M SO SORRY BABE- I-I DIDNT KNOW- OH I'M SO SORRY!!!"
as you both were a blushing mess, atsushi ran out.
5 minutes later, you exited the room and saw atsushi in the living room.
he was biting his nails and bouncing his leg.
until he noticed your figure.
"Y/N- i'm so sorry!! i didn't mean to walk in on you- i had no idea! i'm sorry if i made you uncomfortable─"
you cupped his face and laughed, "it's okay- atsushi! it was an accident!"
he felt glad you weren't upset with him- and made sure to always make sure to knock when he knows your in the room.
chuuya nakahara 🍷
Tumblr media
like atsushi.
he's a gentlemen and respects your privacy.
it was late, and chuuya called to let you know he was working overtime.
your heart flutters each time he lets you know because he remembers you- even doing the most deadliest of jobs known to man.
as he was at work you had the apartment all to yourself; which you of course took advantage of him not being here.
you looked through he wine collection, tasting the ones that seemed to interest you.
you looekd through his hat collection; aka basically his closet- and had your own small fashion show.
hours passed- and the time was 12:26pm.
you didn't get his message about him coming home; so your boyfriend entered the apartment.
"y/n- i'm home!
silence.
he heard some music echo from your bedroom; which sparks his curiousity.
he slowly walked toward the room, and opened he door.
"y/n-"
"CHUUYA!!"
you screamed, having nothing but your pants on and putting on the shirt until you heard him walk in.
his eyes widened as he closed the door- apologizing.
silence.
awkward silence.
as you left your room after getting changed, you found chuuya sitting on the couch leaning forward and playing with ths fingers.
"oh- y/n! h-how was your day?" he asked, suddenly noticing you and sat more comfortably on the couch.
you had a blush on your face as you nod, "my day was...good."
he placed his lips together to make a straight line and nodded; "that's-good.."
you suddenly burst out into laughter, causing him to now blush.
"what-what's so funny?"
"your-haha!-more embarrassed then-haha-i was!!"
he turned red and looked away from you, crossing his arms.
"i-shut up! lock the damn door next time!"
fyodor dostoevsky 🫀
Tumblr media
bastard.
FOUCKING bastard.
you begged him; getting on all fours and to his feet; and begged him to take you to the pool he owned...somehow...for some reason (just go with it PLZ)
with a sigh, he agreeded and allowed you to have; what- 3 hours of the pool to yourself?
you ran- SPEED RAN- to your bedroom and packed for the pool.
you know- the essentials. swimsuit, towel, slippers/flip-flops, etc.
he watched you get ready with a sly smile on his face from his desk.
the way you got so excited to go to this pool- pleased him??? idk, he just felt good- anyway.
you called out to him that you'll see him in the pool as well??
hm- we'll see.
timeskip to you reaching the indoor pool.
it was HUGE.
WHY WAS HE KEEPING THIS FROM YOU- WHO EVEN IS HE??
oh yeah- nvm. lmao.
you rushed to the change rooms, excited to step into the pool.
you've been stressed all week; unable to find any relaxation at all- accept this one time...you are 100% taking advantage of this!
because- we'll it was empty, you decided to just change in the middle of the room where the room was.
you took of your shirt- revealing your bare skin.
next was your pants.
as you took them off; you noticed your butt in the mirror reflection-
oh.
okay.
damn, fyodor, that lucky bastard.
you grinned to yourself- wiggling your butt side to side and giggled to yourself.
then, you slapped it gently.
and again- then moved up down your thigh.
suddenly- you heard a familair voice-
"would you rather spend your hours looking at yourself in the mirror; or go in the pool with me? because- i can take either or."
with a scream you bounced backwards toward the mirror.
"HOLY GRAVY AND CHEESE-"
you blushed- realizing it was fyodor.
you quickly tried to grab your towel and wrap it around yourself. before you could try to wrap it all around your body- fyodor suddenly appeared in front of you.
HOW DID HE GET HERE SO FAST-
he rubbed a hand on your hip, close to your stomach.
"hm~ you've been hiding this beautiful body from me for weeks, дорогой?"
you blushed hard. feeling his hot breath on your neck-
"f-fyodor..too-close.."
he kissed your lips, cutting you off.
you melted into fast...
you pulled away panting..
"pool?"
he asked and you nodded slowly...
giggling softly..
"i'm ready when you are..."
akutagawa rynnosuke 🩸
Tumblr media
he would be embarrassed
awkwardly leave the room...with a blush on his face.
it was late at night, time was around 11:34pm.
you were tired when you got home from work.
your a member of the ADA; yet dating one of the most dangerous port mafia members.
entering your apartment, you kicked of your shoes and left your coat on the floor.
you had no idea akutagawa was home so when you entered your bedroom you shared with him.
you took off your pants and went to the drawer to pick some pants.
as you found pants, you put them on. now taking off your shirt.
meanwhile, akutagawa exits from the bathroom and walked toward the bedroom.
he didn't notice it a crack open, so as he enters.
you freeze.
he freezes.
he has a blush on his face as he looked at your upper bare body.
you blushed.
he slowly closed the door and left..
you were red.
he just..left?
said nothing?
well what was he suppose to say??
minutes after you finished changing into your pajamas...you went to find akutagawa.
he was just in the living room, staring into a void.
you walked toward him slowly...
"ryu?"
he looked at you and was about o leave-
"wait!!" you stopped him.
"are you okay?"
he held his head low.
"i didn't mean to walk in on you...i assumed you thought i was a creep and so i left...i should be asking if your okay.."
you frowned, "aku- aha! it's okay- your my partner!! it's okay to see each other naked...even if its accidental..." you shrugged.
he nods slightly and held your hand, "please let me know if i ever make you uncomfortable...i hate knowing i did..."
you kisses his knuckles, "of course~ i love you!"
"....i love you, too."
