#I expect lots of screaming over this lol XD

[baldursgate3tempobsessed]

Ok, I’m a little confused on how to word this request so bear with me.

Would you be willing to write a short fic about Astarion and The Main Character, sharing a tent at camp because relationship, and the main character giving Astarion a massage because he got hurt in battle, but Astarion starts moaning too loud on purpose, and making the other people at the camp think they are having sex?

I realize how weird and specific this is, but I love the idea of Astarion being an absolute Ham, and making the others uncomfortable XD

(Bonus points if the Main Character plays along)

LOL. Yes, I am willing. CW: Actually not many? Allusions to sex I guess? Maye spoilers to be safe? Brief mention of sadboy back story? This is honestly pretty tame.

Astarion wasn't against adventuring. If anything he was a fan, especially when comparing it to his old life. But he was only a fan when it was him doing the bloodshed, not when he was the one being knocked around into walls by massive ogres.

It hadn't been the worst pain he'd ever felt, far from it. But it had been fairly intense. Intense enough for it to take multiple tries for him to get back on his feet. And to have you fawning over him.

"Are you sure you're okay?" You asked as the two of you entered the tent hours later, still hovering behind him, "Is there anything I can do?"

"I'm fine darling," Astarion sighed as he plopped down onto his bedroll, exhausted beyond belief, "Nothing that a good night's sleep can't fix."

The healing from Shadowheart had done wonders, even if his muscles were still screaming at him. He was sore yes, but it really was nothing dire. But that wouldn't stop you from fretting, a fact that Astarion was a fan of.

It was no secret that he liked it when you agonized over his well-being. At first he had been a bit offended at your constant worry, taking it as a lack of belief that he could take care of himself. But then he realized you just... cared. About him of all people. Deeply and intimately, in a way that Astarion had never known, but one he could certainly get used to.

"Want me to have a look?" You asked as you sat next to him, your hands already helping to do the work of taking his armor off, "Maybe a massage?"

"That would be perfect," Astarion sighed, more than happy to let you pamper him. He had been hoping that you would ask that. You did have talented hands, "Thank you darling."

After he was divested of his armor you had him lay on his stomach, his back bare as you straddled his legs. Then you got to work, kneading his sore flesh like a pro. Astarion could feel the tension seeping out of his muscles. You really were so good at this, just one more perk of accidently falling in love with you.

He was moaning before he even knew the sounds were out of his mouth. But he didn't give it much thought, not when he knew you didn't mind. If anything you liked hearing him feel so content, even if he could get a little loud.

"Tch."

Astarion blinked his eyes open at the sound. Was... was that a scoff he heard? Astarion strained his ears, listening out of curiosity as you worked wonders on his back. That was one benefit of being a spawn and elf hybrid, he had vastly superior hearing abilities.

"It's happening again," That was definitely Lae'Zel's voice, the gravely cadence instantly recognizable.

"Oh come on, it's not that bad!" He heard Halsin say quietly, only to be met by collective groaning, "Whiners, the lot of you. I would have expected better from you Karlach."

"All I'm saying is that they could pitch their tent a bit farther away, that's all!" She laughed back at him, "Can't a girl be a little jealous?"

"Or a little annoyed," Shadowheart grumbled.

"Or a lot," Gale agreed, grumbling in that very specific way that made Astarion want to slap the frown off of his face.

Astarion rolled his eyes, finding himself to be a bit annoyed as well. While it was true that the two of you could get... excited, you weren't that bad. And Astarion had made it a point to sneak you far away from camp when he really wanted to have his way with you. What more could they ask for? It just felt like envy at this point, an envy that Astarion was petty enough to resent.

"All I'm saying is if I lose one more wink of sleep because of those two, they're getting a piece of my mind," Gale continued, "I'm sure we all can agree on that."

Oh. Well in that case...

"You're so good at this my sweet," Astarion moaned loudly as you worked over a hard knot in his back, "The best I've ever had."

He could hear more groaning from the peanut gallery, but better yet he could hear the smile in your voice as you quietly answered, "I'm just happy it helps. You're so bruised sweetheart, I'm surprised you're still standing. Your pain tolerance is really something else."

That was unfortunately true, a natural consequence after decades and decades of torture. But at least it served him in his newfound freedom.

"Maybe I just like it when it hurts," Astarion groaned loudly, an obvious lie. Especially to your ears.

It was enough to have your hands pausing on him. You leaned in close, whispering a question in his ear, "Are you doing what I think you're doing?"

"Darling, I'll do anything you want me to do," Astarion murmured, hoping that the ridiculous line would get his point across. And it did, of course it did. No one understood him better than you.

Astarion glanced at you as you leaned back, pleased to see the telling smirk on your face as you got back to work.

"Do you like that baby? Should I go lower?" You asked loudly, biting your lip near the end to keep in a giggle, "Would you like that?"

"Please," Astarion moaned out, only half of the sound faked. You really were just that good at giving massages. And the show you were both putting on was having the desired effect.

"For the love of everything that is holy keep it down!" Gale yelled out into the night, doing nothing more than encouraging Astarion to get even louder, "Perfect darling, right there. Gods, I'm close."

"Mm, flip over. I wanna see your face during," You shot back. Astarion could hear it in your voice, that barely contained laughter. And he wasn't doing much better himself. If anything he was a little surprised the others hadn't caught on yet. Maybe even a little offended. The dirty talk you had together wasn't this bad, a fact that they would know if they had actually ever heard it.

But before Astarion could belt out his big finale, the flap of your tent was being pulled open, Gale's voice yelling into it, "For the love of Mystra would you two shut up- oh my gods. They aren't even naked!"

That was the end of the façade. The two of you burst out laughing, you falling down to Astarion's side as you erupted into a pair of giggling idiots.

Karlach joined Gale at the door to the tent, her voice cracking halfway through on a laugh, "I told you they were hamming it up! Wyll, you owe me ten silver!"

Gale was already turning back, a pout on his lips as he muttered, "You're both lucky it was fake. We were five seconds away from sending Lae'zel in to shut you up."

"The threats aren't going to help my desire to continue fucking with you in the future," Astarion called after him, wiping amused tears from his eyes as they both stepped away. You turned to face him, still giggling up a storm as Astarion wrapped an arm around your wasit.

He kissed your cheek, still grinning ear to ear, "I think it's safe to say that I feel much, much better now."

Hello!! What's your favorite Zelda game?

- hero-of-the-wolf

SkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardswordSkywardsword

Skyward sword :)

I uhh am kind of nervous to share but you asked so ima rant about my life and why I love skyward sword :))

I was the youngest child, which leads to some problems with being included- but with video games I was actually ok with that. I was always a coward- if a character so much as had red eyes I would have nightmares and not be able to sleep for uhhh a bit. So movies and video games gave me wayyyy too much anxiety. Jump scares and being surrounded were terrifying to me- I also felt I wasn't good at video games with the controls. But I did like spending time with my siblings!

Anyways my mom (love her) was one of the adults as a kid who thought video games were evil- she didn't necessarily buy the theory of it rotting our brains, but she did want us to get outside a lot. But one Christmas we did get a wii... and skyward sword :DDD

We played games together- I did the gaming sometimes, but it was mainly my siblings. I always had thoughts/suggestions on the dungeons lol. However we didn't really have enough attention spans as kids to finish it. It was funny because it became a kind of pattern- my siblings would decide to play skyward sword! :D and we would start the game and make it to like the first dungeon and stop XD. We still all remember and have the entirety of skyloft and the opening to first temple + ghirahim boss memorized, but us actually beating the game was a no. The furthest we got on a run was getting the water dragons scale, at which point we enjoyed swimming drowning link until we ran out of steam again.

But I was still so scared of playing video games myself- there was umm. A lot of screaming and panic whenever I was attacked, which was mildly annoying to my family. (Child me was chaotic but we love her <3)

Cut forward years and we ended up stuck in a house together during Covid... at which point my mom threw away all previous ideas of video games being bad and bought us a bunch XD. Then there came a point as (college) adults that we all wanted and bought Switches- my brother says he started the Nintendo "switch revolution" in our family since he was the first

My sister helped me a lot. She was the one who showed me animal crossing as a chill video game, and how I could calmly catch the scorpions and tarantulas in that game (eeeeeeeh). I watched her play botw on wii u and she helped me beat (eiffjjdfkjfkf scary) thunderblight ganon without panicking. After that I decided to have they were fun! Fights still give me anxiety sometimes, but overall I'm actually good at it- which I hadn't expected lol

And then I got skyward sword hd on switch. And this was like. The moment for me I started really loving video games. I played through like me and my siblings used to do (nostalgia man). And I fully finished a video game. And obviously sobbed over sksw Zelink. Then I helped my dad through it- we also played games with him (and he is not the best at it), so me and my dad played through sksw in a summer.

I love all Zelda games are so so good- I've played a lot like the og legend of Zelda, botw, totk, twilight princess- and I just got wind waker and am excited to play it :D

So I love skyward sword as my favourite video or Zelda game ever because of nostalgia- it was my first Zelda game and has a lot memories for me from when we were kids :)

:)

I hope I made sense idk if all of my words were understandable. And also thank you so much for asking I love you forever and might melt whenever asked about myself fifdigjdockng sorry for ranting so long

SPOILERS FOR THE NEW SMG4 MOVIE PUZZLEVISION

i come back and rise from my grave one more time to give my opinion on the movie.

This movie was great! I had a lot of fun watching it with @gaiaonthemoon and it did leave me surprised and delighted at what i was watching djfhjf

however, i cant help but feel like this is not the vibe i expected to get when watching the livestream.

And. It did leave more questions than answers on Mr Puzzles.

I will say this: i dont think its over, and i think hes gonna make a comeback. Not like, right away obv, but soon enough i think.

Anyways, now to list the things i really enjoyed-

Meggy and SMG4 being sided and praised by him for their "character acting" during Western Spaghetti and IGBP WAS AWESOME AND REALLY WELL DONE- AND WISHED WE GOT MORE OF THAT (i expected Mr Puzzles to like. put them all in a situation resembling the previous movies given what we got on the poster- but whatever)

Also Mario and Luigi shining in their own way god BLESS THESE ITALIAN PLUMBERS-

also the MF TITANIC SCENE WITH 3 AND 4 MADE ME AND GAIA GO INSANE.

SHE SAID "NICHE NICHE LOOK YOUR PIRATE AU-" AND I FUCKING SCREAMED until i noticed the boat type and went "oh no its the titanic-" and then WE SCREAMED AGAIN BECAUSE HOLY FUCK 3 AND 4 ON THE TITANIC- XD

Aside from that silliness- we also both agreed that Mr Puzzles was a pathetic bitch man the whole movie lmao- but heres the thing: i dont think thats all there is to him- and i dont think hes defeated completely.

He can rebuild himself. And the way this finale for the movie felt it was a bit too easy to get rid of him. I bet hes coming back, cuz you dont get to build up a character like this for over a year and then end it with only five episodes of screentime.

So yeah, it aint over.

im still gonna laugh at his ass sr pelo style tho he was so pathetic lol

Anyways, i cant wait to see what this means for next saturday eps. we will see where we go from here

[trashlie]

ILY FP 237

Wanna know something that feels insane? I went to go reread 151 for yknow, reasons, lmao and I noticed it came out September 30, 2021.

/2021/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE THAT EPISODE DROPPED?! NO WONDER WE CAN'T BE NORMAL ABOUT ANYTHING!!!!! NO WONDER WE'RE ALL AS FERAL AS SHINAE AND CLIMBING WALLS AND CHEWING THROUGH OUR KEYBOARDS. I can't get my head around this lmao TWO WHOLE YEARS?! What the HECK?! This has been WILD!!!!!!!

Anyway, I kind of wish you guys could have seen me immediately after reading this episode because I swear it felt like I went through the five stages of like, grief or something, for reasons I'll get to lmao like, my friends and i live blog at each other as we read and it was just a wall of screaming cat emotes sent over and over and DREAD and STRESS and some kind of dramatic chaos and calamity before we got it out of our systems and were like "okay i can be normal* about this now

*as normal as possible all things considered lmao

Anyway. AN EPISODE AIN'T IT? Let's go

I had fantasized a lot about how I waned Dieter and Nol's conversation to go, and as always, I was not entirely on the mark. That's why I'm not the one writing ILY XD But regardless, I love what we got, and we got things that I did NOT expect at all!

There's something about how it starts off with that sort of.... "we're pretending everything is normal and that you didn't totally oversee me making moves on the girl you like while i thought you were sleeping and you don't even know why I came back after blocking all of you let's definitely make visitation plans" that is so funny to me, even though that's absolutely how I expected it to go. Dieter is the master of playing it cool, much to his own detriment, but it works in this case, because Nol is so very like a feral cat, isn't he?

I'm actually really glad that we touched on the topic of visitation because I was SO CERTAIN Nol wouldn't want them to visit him, wouldn't want to be seen like that, wouldn't want to be reminded of their lives going on while he's stuck behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. And Dieter is not that subtle with the way he goes down the list of the potential visitors Nol can have - not that there's, yknow.... many..... lol but we all know what he's getting at, carefully hedging the important matters at hand. "It would make you happy if she visited you, too... right?"

Something so funny about my agitation at the end of this episode was that I so badly wanted to comment on how Nol's reaction to Dieter winning the game reminded me SO MUCH of the expressions Shinae makes lol I don't know if that's just a result of quimchee's artstyle or just one of those many things they have in common, but it makes me laugh a lot.

Dieter possesses a rather straight forward nature that I'm so envious of. I'm the kind of person who struggles to bring up things that I need to talk to friends about, too burned by past experiences that didn't go well that I still get worried that addressing important topics with my friends will go south even though I know better, so I beat around the bush, I hem and haw. But Dieter is SO direct with Nol, even as Nol tries to deflect, even as he attempts to bush it off. It's so admirable! Especially while Nol is being.... well. Nol lmao

I CANNOT believe that he really went nine-year-old on the playground being accused of liking a girl like. He LITERALLY went BLEH why would I even HURL alkfjkafjafjkafkjafjk MY GUY?! ALKFKAFJAKFKAJFKJ?1 He is akjffakfj a MENACE truly related to Nana!!!!!!!!!

I think this must be the most open and honest Nol has ever been with Dieter. When you think about it, Dieter really is the one friend who has been the most "on the outside" of Nol's life, he has only known Yeonggi, and it wasn't for malicious reasons. That's all the stuff Nol dislikes about his life, that he tries to neatly compartmentalize. Up until recently, he was able to do so. Kousuke was off his back, he was more or less free. Everything changed when Rand went out of country and Kousuke had Nol helping out at the office. Dieter had no reason to really know much more about Kousuke and Nol's relationship because Soushi joining their group meant Kousuke wasn't around as often, and we saw that they both were able to thrive (as well as possible) outside of the way of each other.

So for Nol to open up enough to tell him that he doesn't really make friends, despite how it looks. That most people don't really seem to like him, that he doesn't like his peers or his family, that they are really the only people he has let into his life is big. There's so much Dieter still doesn't know about him, but baby steps. You can't just dump all of that, even if he was ready to.

And in him saying this, to some degree I understand. After all, all this while Nol wasn't even aware of those feelings, of what she meant. I think there were moments - like at the formal when he made her laugh - but it wasn't anything like when he had his head rest upon her shoulder, feeling at peace despite his injuries, feeling calm despite the location, feeling like he could fall asleep and learned that it had nothing to do with medication that made him realize it. So on the one hand I DO get his logic, because what if he IS misplacing this feeling, what if he IS wrong, what if he's making something out of nothing?

But I'm sure on another level he knows better, because he knows what Dieter saw, because he was acting on what he felt.

I think Nol has never had feelings for anyone, because he has nothing to compare this to. He said he "tried to make it work" with Alyssa, but there's a sense that he was never actually into her, that there weren't actually any feelings there and they never grew as time went on. And now that he feels these unfamiliar things for Shinae, how is he to know?

What's really funny is that this is the same tactic as Shinae, but in reverse. When she told him we're all friends and he adamantly told her no, because he knows better, because it wasn't platonic, because their kind of friend is so different from how she's friends with Dieter. And even though he's the one who knows his feeling and suspects hers, he still tries the same logic she used: that anyone else could be in her position and maybe he'd still feel the same, that maybe it's just because he's so starved for kindness that he's responding to that.

Again, we know better, but it's so funny to me that she literally tried to use the logic that all friendships are different but also she could put anyone else in his place and it would be the same.

Please. I need them to stop kidding themselves lmaoooooo

For Nol's sake, though, he needs it to be a thing that will pass, because in his mind not only does he endanger Shinae by caring about her, but he also betrays his friend, only further hurts him, and given that Nol's whole deal is that he tries to rebalance the bad he brings into the world by making up for it with good, he's really doing a terrible job.

Unfortunately for Nol, feelings don't work like that and logic can't control them. He can tell himself it might be a thing that can pass, that it might be something that he'd get over, but that doesn't change Shinae's feelings, and the fact that she clearly likes him, not Dieter. It would be so much easier for Nol if Dieter actually treated it like a betrayal, if he was mad at him, if he felt like Nol had wronged him. He wants him to be angry, because he can at least use Dieter's anger and pain as a reason to step back, because god knows Nol himself does not have the will power to do it on his own. If he can say "Acting on my feelings is hurting my friendship with Dieter" he could have a concrete reason to ignore them, because it's not worth losing his friendship.

But that's not who Dieter is. He isn't giving him that kind of excuse.

We can see, too, just how important those friendships are to Nol, that hurting Dieter would be reason enough to drop his feelings! Because these are the only friends he has. The only people who have made him feel like he has value. Made him feel not like nothing but something. A somebody. Special. That's not something worth throwing away, which is ironically what gets him into this problem. These people made him feel special, and he came to care about them as they care about him, and in his mind this has endangered them all, and it's more than enough reason to hold them at arms' length, to smother his feelings and hope they'll die out like cold embers, hope that if he doesn't fans the flames or add new wood, it will go cold.

I really feel for Dieter having this conversation because honestly, it can't be easy. Even though he's holding himself together, we know that it still hurts. His expression with his eyes closed when he mentions how he's seen the way Shinae cries for him... agonizing! He's seen it multiple times now! He's always the one who picks up her pieces and gives her comfort, even though it hurts him to do, even though he knows why she's crying. It wasn't just what he saw that morning when they thought he was asleep - he's been watching this all along, from the beginning, always consciously comparing himself to the people in her life and how she interacts with them. Even as a friend, he doesn't have what she has with Minhyuk or Nol. Dieter knew all along what he was getting into, knew all along the way they interact, the way they gravitate towards each other, and he couldn't help but hope he might have that, too. That with enough time they could be like that. All this morning did was show him that he was never going to have that with her, that he never really stood a chance. ;~; But he tried! It's more than Nol can say right now....

Nol's agitation is such a BIG deal! Again, Dieter has never really known Nol. Yeonggi wasn't like this! Yeonggi didn't have this energy, that feral cat energy, that edge! His shock in response to how Nol responds shows that much - because to him this isn't a big deal, if he likes her then he likes her and he just wanted Nol to know that he won't hold it against him. But there is just so much Dieter doesn't know! He can't understand at this point why Nol is so emotional about it, why he seems so agitated and upset, why he's insisting it will never happen. Seeing those emotions on his face!!! The way Dieter goes from startled to defensive to concerned.

"If you don't like seeing her hurt, it's in your best interest to keep her away from me."

That sounds so threatening! He's the only one who is hurting Shinae, what Nol is saying can't possibly make any sense to Dieter.

He doesn't know about the formal.

He doesn't know about Shinae getting tricked by Yui, how she was coerced to attend that harrowing formal in order to protect someone who it turned out didn't need protecting.

He doesn't know about the fall from the pool and how she hit her head and was in the hospital when she should have been at home getting a good night's sleep the night before her college entrance exams.

He doesn't know about the contract she's locked into.

About the roofies, about Sangchul.

About how Shinae could have been assaulted, or how she could have died.

This is the most honest Nol has probably ever been with Dieter, with anyone but Shinae at this point, frankly, and unfortunately Dieter doesn't know anything, can't understand, but what he can see is that Nol means it. The fear on his face! He looks so childlike in how distressed and afraid he is!

When we really think about it, in Nol's eyes, it is about him. That he is a blight, a mistake who was never supposed to exist. That what happened to his mom was because of him, because he exists. Because he didn't treat her well. What happened to Shinae is because he took interest in her, because she meant something to him, and that wasn't acceptable. He believes harm comes to those he cares about, but in his view that's the extent of it. It's not that Yui is a monster, it's that she's a monster to him.

He doesn't have our objective knowledge. He doesn't know that Kousuke has been drugged and manipulated his whole life, that she drove that wedge between him and his father. He doesn't know that Yui invited Shinae to Kousuke's apartment and treated her inappropriately, tried to undress her, put her in Kousuke's clothes. Does he even really understand how Shinae wound up at the formal? That it wasn't about him at all - that Shinae was convinced Kousuke did something wrong by giving her a job she didn't deserve, that she had to attend the formal to "protect his job".

So to him, it's just because it's him. Because he cares. Because he is a mistake and doesn't deserve any of this, and that they are punished for him not knowing his place. His worries extend to Dieter and Soushi as well, because they are also people he cares about, and maybe the universe will harm them, too, to remind him of his place.

He doesn't know what he has to protect them from, just that he must.

One of these days, we are going to get flashbacks of what happened when Nol was taken away to Hirahara Memorial, and I'm not ready. The way he looks so small and childlike sitting there in his bed with all of his fear and distress, all of these feelings so knotted up inside. What did they do to him when he was in there? What did they say to him, that made him so deeply internalize this belief? Almost two years of being broken down, being convinced that the things that happen to those you care about are the direct result of you caring of your existence. And that's the most frustrating part about it - it's so deeply ingrained, so intricately woven into his psyche that he can't just change his way of thinking. It's going to be so difficult to undo that thinking!

Not that this is really new to us but, just getting to really mull over this is so heartbreaking. Nol is so terrified of losing her, that he's willing to lose her to protect her. He'd rather not have her at all if it will keep her safe, if it will protect her from harm, even though it's so clear that he wants the opposite. He cares so much and it makes him so very afraid. How does he live like that?! That constant battle of wanting vs what he fears, how he let them into his life and broke his rules and in his mind this has put them in danger.

"If you don't like seeing her hurt, it's in your best interest to keep her away from me!"

He really would rather be the one that hurts her to protect her than to take any chances and it just makes me feel SO EMOTIONAL. ;A; OKAY. Because what can you even do to help him? He is so..... I don't like it when people say the word broken, because it often feels low-key like they mean someone is too traumatized to ever be "repaired" but when I say Nol is so broken, I mean that he has been put in situations that have damaged his self-view, that have damaged his psyche, that have altered the way he thinks and feels to such a degree that he is sitting here willing to hurt people in order to protect them, because he lives in this constant fear of unknown that he cannot predict. They took this vulnerable kid and put him through absolute HELL, they broke him and then they refused to put the pieces back together.

I hope that Dieter will talk to someone about it. Is it something he can talk about with Shinae? Can he pull together any clues? He's our most observant character, but does he know enough to start to grasp this very real fear that has gripped Nol? He was there at the arcade when Kousuke and Yui came to pick up Nol, when he reacted strangely to her being there, when he slapped away Kousuke's hand. Is that something that he'd remember, think is worth pursuing? And even if so, what can come of it? He looks genuinely worried and concerned, though, and I hope that something will be able to come of it, because I think even if he can't understand what Nol fears, he at least knows that to him it's very real.

Soushi's timing with the jello just.... KILLED me. KILLED ME what a time to interrupt ;______; How do you get back to that conversation?! And especially with Kousuke there now, it's effectively over. It just!!! LKFAFKJAJFKAKJFAJKFKJAF KLJAFKJAF AKJFKAJFKAFJKAF IT KILLS ME OKAY AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGH

And while I know very well that Kousuke is there with good intentions, that he looks so haunted standing in the hallway waiting for Nol, I can't help but feel a heavy curtain of foreboding coming down, because Kousuke comes in like an omen. Because things go bad when he shows up, even when he's not the one trying to stir things up. And frankly, I don't look forward to this, because I know whatever is going to go down is going to hurt! There's something so..... I guess bitter about Kousuke's very too little too late moment, how he has struggled all these years with how badly he wants Rand's love, how much he fears not being good enough, how terrified he was that Nol could have it and replace him, the guilt for destroying a young child who was never a real threat to him (even though Yui absolutely made him out as a real threat in Kousuke's mind). It's like... knowing that Kousuke is starting to unlock this, is starting to see the insidious underbelly, while knowing it's too late. Nol has wiped his hands of him. He literally nearly died as a result of what happened the night before and even if Kousuke is coming to reach out to him, or to confirm something, Nol has no reason to entertain him, to hep him.

I feel like we are very much seeing that table turn, the role reversal. We're going to watch Kousuke fall apart, trying his best to hold himself together, with no one to turn to, no one he can actually trust, his paranoia eating him alive. It's not that I think anything heavy is going to go down as much as.... maybe we're going to watch Kousuke reach out to him, whether for help or to acknowledge something - that Nol, too, was drugged, that this must be why he hates tea so much, that so many times he ignored Nol's pleas for help - and Nol is probably going to reiterate how very done with him he is, that he wants nothing to do with him or this family any more, that he is done with them and what they've done to him. And just. AUGH ALKJAFKJJKFJKAF IT KILLS ME I'M SO EMOTIONAL I'M SO DISTRESSED BECAUSE WE KNOW WHY KOUSUKE WAS LIKE THAT WE KNOW HOW HE WAS MANIPULATED, HOW THE DRUGGING WAS USED TO ALTER HIS MEMORIES AND HOW HE RECALLED EVENTS HOW HE BELIEVES IN THIS FICTITIOUS VERSION OF NOL WHO WAS FORMED BY YUI'S WORDS AND IT KILLS ME BECAUSE NOL IS SO WELL WITHIN HIS RIGHT AND I JUST. TRAAAAAAGIIIIIIIIIIIIC SIIIIIIIIIBLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIINNNNGSSSSSSSSS ;A;

And things just always go south when Kousuke comes around. He puts Nol in a worse mood, he starts to act out more. We literally watched this kid jump off a fucking balcony into a pool below and revisit the last time he was at the bottom of a pool, contemplating never returning to the surface! THINGS NEVER GO WELL WHEN KOUSUKE IS INVOLVED AND I'M NERVOUS AND SCARED AND I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ;A;

At this point, I feel like everything really is up to Shinae at this point, because Nol is back to trying to rebuild his walls and put them up as high as he can, so ready to try to ignore these feelings, to play them off, to tell her that it probably means nothing, that he must just be acting this way because she's been nice when no one else has and if it was anyone else he'd probably feel the same way and GOD I am ready for her to go off on him. He all but told her to leave and come back when you know why you're fighting so hard for me, but I don't think he's actually PREPARED for her going back knowing her feelings, knowing what she wants.

Until now, there's always been a disadvantage between Shinae and Nol in their relationship, where he is always the one with the leg up, the one who knows more, the one who is making moves, the one who is in control of things. But I think we're going to see that change, based on her very feral way of fighting her feelings, how she was about to try to break down his door in order to continue their conversation, how agitated she is by the thought of him throwing her away.

It really does come down to her pure determination, and I'm fully expecting her to go in there and get into an argument with him lmao and frankly, I welcome it. I think that's the only way they're going to get anywhere. There's so many things they need to talk about, they need a heart to heart DESPERATELY but I don't think we're going to lead with it. I go back and forth on how I expect her to go, because she was SO READY to go back in and demand her things back "if I can't have you" (SCREAMING STILL) but now that she knows her feelings... will she? I hope she will, still. Because now it's almost worse, right? That he's taken all these things from her AND he still has a girlfriend AND he now has her heart? HOW IS THAT FAIR, GIVE IT BACK, GIVE BACK EVERYTHING!

I want them to argue because I think they're both a little more honest when they aren't thinking about what they're saying, when they let the hotheaded energy take over and words come out. Nol is probably going to play the "this probably doesn't even mean anything" game, the "this will probably pass and we'll both move on" game, the "maybe i'm just a selfish asshole friend and none of this means anything" game and Shinae is too hardheaded to let that slide.

I want her jealousy and insecurity to come out when Nol tries to shield himself with “I have a girlfriend” and I want her to remind him he said it was fake and he resents her. I want her to look him in the eye and ask if he can really throw it all away, if he wouldn’t have any regrets if he gave up and left her. I want him to fail to answer and instead tell her that maybe he can, who knows, maybe none of this is really real. And I want her to kiss him and prove to him how very real it is, how very much they both want it, and how very much they need each other.

And when she pulls away he can lean in, following her, pulling her back in, his brain off because god knows the moment her mouth touches his it's all over, he's melting, his resolve is crumbling and he's going all in, pulling her against him fingers in her hair mouth crashing back on hers so hungry so touch-starved so full of want.

They can talk about everything else once she's convinced him this isn't so fleeting. She can remind him what she already said, that she deserves a choice in this matter, that leaving doesn't change anything because she still works for the company she's still under contract and now there's more she can tell him - how Yui made her an offer that would essentially tether her to them, how Rand told her to take it that he says Yui will never let her go. That it was not about him that Yui is a witch, tell him about Kousuke's birthday, tell him about the way she got tricked, tell him about the things she tried to do to her.

I've already acknowledged that nothing can undo the years of damage that was done to Nol in the hospital and through years of abuse, but I think Shinae can, at the very least, make him see that she very much is just as trapped, that she's worse off if he leaves, that together they are so much stronger, that they don't have to endure this alone. He can tell her how scared he is and she can stroke his hair and reassure him the best she can that he's allowed to be scared in front of her that she feels scared, too, but maybe she's more afraid of losing someone who means so much to her, who is literally the reason she's gotten through everything she did. That maybe he thinks he's a monster but she's something else in him, that he is the sole reason she could endure that harrowing night.

I WANT THEM TO HAVE AN HONEST HEART TO HEART SO BADLY. I feel like we MUST be going that direction. There's been too much build up not to. As Lil Anon put it, ILY has never been quick to reward, and we must go through the ups and downs to get there. We've had this moment dangled in front of us for so long but we're not getting it easy. But we can see it in the narrative - the emphasis on their mutually realized feelings, that Nol was given that 3 day extension that leads so close to Christmas, the emphasis on her mouth, that these feelings happened before he went to jail. If there wasn't going to be a resolution, NONE of this would have needed to happen, especially not the 3 day extension. Quimchee is absolutely drawing this out - and not even in the "putting up pointless obstacles just to draw it out" kind of way but in the "you are going to be so satisfied when we get there" kind of way lol. It's just so easy to get spooked because that's what the writing is doing! That's tension, baby.

Hopeful optimism is always my downfall lmao but I just feel like we ARE going to have that resolution, that even if there's no relationship at this time, they will know where they stand, that she can convince him not to push her away, that they are too important to give each other up. Whatever he's afraid of, they can brave it together! I WANT IT AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S SO CLOSE OKAY AND I'MA FLKJAFLKJAF AFLKJAFLKJAFKLA FLKJAFLAKJFLKAFJLAFKAFKLAFJAFKJFKAA

We were given two small asides about Nol's phone and the Bible, and I wonder if we'll be seeing those play out the 22nd. The phone is obviously coming in Kousuke's visit next week, but I wonder: does it even work anymore after everything that happened? It was still working after the pool fall, which feels like a miracle, but after falling from the second floor, after getting slammed around in the snow, now covered in blood, will it still be able to turn back on?! lmao I'm not sure what to make yet of Alyssa's messages left hanging like that, especially after walking "into the light" with Gun. There's the fact that she's off to some schedule, so could there be a chance for those dating rumors to come up that she has to strike down? On the one hand, they feel like they could be left hanging, which kind of feels so symbolic of their whole relationship lmao but. IDK!!!! At the very least it probably needs a charge LMAO but idk idk this is the area I get murky because I think it can go so many ways. I don't think Nol has any intention of breaking up with her at this time, especially because he'll probably try to use it as a shield against Shinae, but.... I've always felt the break up would come from her due to dating rumors. Especially because of how bad his reputation is at this point (violence, roofies which makes it sound like he sexually assaults people) it would be EASY for Alyssa's agency to spin it and make it sound like indeed, she does not have a relationship with him and in fact he has frightened her or something. They were even in public at the Christmas party arguing even on the dance floor, before what happened later so. Idk SOMETHING will come of that, I'm sure.

But I'm also hoping referencing the Bible means that maybe he will find it when everyone else has left and he's bored - especially if his phone won't turn on - and take a look at the letters Shinae mentioned, since he only thought there was the one.

This is really important to me, because I need Nol so badly to see how he stands in the same place his father did. I want him to be able to better understand his parents - how his mom stayed clinging to a married man who she could not really be with, how she uprooted her child and herself to move closer to him. How she tried over and over to be there for him, to try to support him, and Rand didn't allow it. How unlike Rand, Nol has less to lose. He isn't married, he doesn't have a child, a family. He doesn't NEED to stay in a relationship that will only suffocate him, that will turn him into a hollow husk of a man like Rand did. I NEED him to realize that he is on a fast track of following in his father's footsteps, in becoming this empty meaningless man.

I want him to see how Rand's feelings for Nessa never went away. Even after she died, he still carried her around in that Bible. In her letters, in the photograph of Nol. He carried her around because he never got over her. And is Nol prepared to live that way?

This is also why I'm perfectly fine with Nol and Shinae kissing before he and Alyssa break up, because I think it would help him better understand his parents - how Rand had a duty to his marriage, but he fell in love with someone who actually meant something, and how she was the love of his life that he never got over. To understand how his mom could be with someone who was married. For him to understand that feelings are NOT logical, that you can't really control them. He never meant to develop feelings for the girl his friend likes - but it still happened.

Maybe if Nol can understand them, it will help him forgive them a little, give him a tiny bit of peace. And hopefully help him to make the right decision, to accept the love people give him, and to face his fears together with them.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yo, I'd love to see what you can think of regarding Zoro and Perona from One Piece. Give them pastel goth ferals a chance, they grow on you like pink and green fungus. Haha

Look, it doesn't take much for most pairings to grow on me like a fungus. XD I did enjoy writing this one, though, so I guess I've got some pink and green amidst all the other fungi growing on me LOL

Paradise

Word Count: 2,850

Fluff, Romance, 3Y2D

Summary: Kuraigana Island would be Perona's paradise… if it weren't for the fact that it's so boring! She's left all alone every day… but little does she know, someone has taken notice of her frustration.

“Kuraigana Island is such a dark, dreary, gloomy place,�� Perona sighed to one of her ghostly companions as she lay splayed across the antique rug lining the floor of one of the many drawing rooms in the ominous Kuraigana Castle. She languidly rolled onto her belly, then crooned dreamily, “It’s a verifiable paradise! I couldn’t ask for a more perfect place to live.” Her expression just as quickly turned sour, and she slammed her fists down onto the hand-woven rug as she cried out in indignation, “Yet I am utterly miserable because it is so dreadfully boring!” 

Yes, Perona had initially been beside herself with joy when she had landed in the world of her lovely nightmares. Scraggly dead trees and dried grass, crumbling ruins atop rolling hills of scorched earth, a splendorous castle looming dark and foreboding on the fog-choked horizon… If Perona wasn’t highly attuned to the spiritual, she would have thought she’d died and gone to Heaven! Learning that she would be sharing the residence with Roronoa Zoro of the Straw Hat Pirates (who had oh-so-spitefully dethroned her hero, Gecko Moria) and, later on, the stoic Warlord Dracule Mihawk had done little to put a damper on her spirits. 

What did, however, was the realization that the spooky island had neither zombie servants nor cute animals to its name, only very rude and disobedient mandrills. How was a girl expected to haunt the premises under such conditions? What a letdown. 

To add insult to injury, the only two reasonable residents of the island—in comparison to the violent monkeys, at least—wouldn’t give her the time of day! All those brutes wanted to do, from sun-up to sun-down, was swing their stupid swords at one another. Perona could hardly go about her melancholy business, for she was too busy patching Zoro’s wounds day in and day out—and the moron would just turn around and earn himself more the very next day! Seriously, those Straw Hats were the most brainless lot she’d ever encountered—and Perona had spent the last several years surrounded by zombies!

She had been able to get by for the first week or so by creating ghostly companions for company, but she could only be entertained by them for so long. Even a woebegone bemoaner such as herself required the pleasure of human company at least once in a while! But no, Dracule had left at first light to go attend to some of his Warlord business or whatever, while Zoro had left not soon after to go fight the bloodthirsty mandrills yet again—leaving poor, pitiful Perona all alone in the castle’s dark, dismal halls. They were quite wonderful at first, but one could only admire the architecture so much before they began to get stir-crazy. 

“I miss Kumashi,” Perona simpered pathetically, rolling morosely around on the rug since she had nothing better to do. Her ghosts floated listlessly around in the air above her, too mindless to comprehend her lamentation. “If only that stupid long-nosed freak of nature hadn’t purified him back on Thriller Bark.” 

Her ghosts offered no form of sympathy or consolation, and that just aggravated her more. She banished them to the nether whence they came, then rolled over onto her back again. She stared at the cobweb-strung, dust-coated vaulted ceiling for several seconds, then abruptly pulled at her pink pigtails and released a frenzied scream. 

“Aaaaaaaaagh! I’ll lose my mind with boredom, at this rate! Oh, what I wouldn’t give to have a tea party with somebody—anybody!” 

“Yeesh! What’s with the screamin’?” 

Perona shot up with a gasp and found Zoro standing in the entryway. He was covering his ears while he scowled in annoyance at her, but she was so happy to see another living creature that it didn’t even faze her; blissful relief burst inside of her, and a giddy smile tugged at her lips. Perona had a reputation to maintain, however, so she quickly squashed it and forwent springing to her feet like she wanted to in favor of languorously rising to her feet and stretching her arms above her head. 

“Oh, you’re back? Is it really sunset already?” 

“Oh, don’t try to play it off. You were clearly counting down the minutes,” Zoro scoffed, prompting Perona to drop her arms so she could put her hands on her hips while she pouted moodily at him. He scratched his head and looked around, his scowl morphing into a contemplative frown. “Though, I guess I can’t blame you. You do sit in here all by yourself all day. I’m sure it is maddening.” 

“You’re damn right!” Perona snapped and stamped her foot. She had a reputation to maintain, yes, but she was so desperate for human interaction that she would abandon her aloof façade if that meant Zoro would entertain her for even thirty minutes. She quickly shifted gears from disguising her loneliness to weaponizing it, summoning forth crocodile tears and hugging herself with a pitiful sob. “Your mean ol’ crew mercilessly slayed my one true friend, and then that terrible Bartholomew Kuma banished me to this wonderfully creepy but deserted place, and now I’m being ignored by the only two living souls here… Boo-hoo-hoo…”

“Oi, you don’t have to start the waterworks,” Zoro grimaced at her. He rolled his eyes when she immediately ceased her fake crying to flutter her lashes at him with a hopeful, pleading expression. He rubbed at the back of his neck as he pondered something for several seconds, heaved a sigh, then averted his gaze to the ceiling while he grumbled, “I have a stinkin’ tea party with you if it’s really that big of a deal…” 

“Really?!” Perona squealed and zoomed right up to him, her eyes sparkling and her hands clasped in delight. She didn’t wait for Zoro to confirm before she jumped up into the air with a cheer, and she levitated herself so she could do a slow backflip, kicking her legs in glee all the while. “Oh, it’s been so long since I’ve indulged in a tea party! I’ll make this one extra-grand!” she trilled when she was right-side-up again, and when she looked back at Zoro, she was surprised to find him not scowling, but smiling with a considerable amount of warmth.

“Can’t wait,” he smirked, his voice soft and rumbling like a cat’s purr. Something about it made Perona’s heart thump in her chest and heat rise to her cheeks. Flustered by Zoro’s uncharacteristic—or maybe just yet-to-be-noticed—compassion, Perona just floated there in warm, fuzzy inertia instead of rushing to prepare the tea party. She only stirred when Zoro prodded her leg with the hilt of one of his katanas and regarded her with a raised eyebrow.

“Oi. How are we supposed to have a tea party without a table and chairs and, yanno, tea stuff? I’m not exactly an expert, but those are pretty basic requirements, yeah?” 

“R-right!” Perona squeaked when she snapped back to reality. She hastily turned her back to him to conceal the fact that her pale white face was flushing with pink, then took a second to regain her wits. She was just shocked at his sudden show of kindness! She totally wasn’t mooning over him—Roronoa Zoro, of all people! Nope, she was just a little stunned! That’s all!

Her fluttering heart endeavored to convince her otherwise. Perona ignored its insistent pitter-pattering by summoning a small legion of ghosts and then spurring them forth to scour the depths of the castle for all the things they would need for a tea party. Directing a dozen spirits at once provided just the right level of distraction from the feelings trying to surface within her… or so she thought. 

Perona was keenly aware of Zoro’s presence in the room; she felt him move from the entryway, felt the space shift around him as he walked across the room to plop in one of the nearby armchairs while he waited for Perona’s ghosts to assemble the tea party. Surely it was just her frazzled mind talking, but the way he brushed against her when he walked by felt… deliberate.

She had been so bored that it must have melted her brain, Perona concluded then. There was no other explanation for the thoughts that she was having. Harboring fondness for Roronoa Zoro? A ludicrous notion!

Ludicrous a notion as she wanted to believe, Perona’s heart skipped a beat and her mouth pulled into a bashful smile when she cracked her eyes open to see Zoro watching her with an unmistakable gleam of delight in his eyes. 

Perona’s specters swiftly gathered a small tea table, a myriad of cushions, a porcelain tea set, and several stuffed animals—one of which was a bedraggled patchwork teddy bear that Perona had stitched herself a few days before, having nothing better to do. Perona directed her ghouls to set the table in the middle of the rug, then arrange the cushions and stuffed animals around it, and finally carefully display the tea set so that every guest had a tea saucer and cup. Once they were finished, Perona dismissed them and drifted down to kneel on the lacy pink cushion that she had chosen for herself. Smiling shyly, she gestured to the tea set and looked at Zoro with eager anticipation. 

“Everything is ready. Shall we begin?” 

“Don’t mind if I do.” 

With all the languid grace of a big cat, Zoro rose from the armchair and strutted over to the tea table. That is where his sophistication started and ended, however; he slumped down onto his cushion, crossed his legs, propped his elbow on his knee, and plopped his chin in his hand with all the roguishness of a brutish pirate. Perona was sorely tempted to heckle him for his poor manners, but he’d appeased her in her desire to host a tea party, so she supposed that she could overlook his boorish tendencies once or twice. 

“Thank you for coming, everyone,” Perona said with prim elegance once Zoro had seated himself. With an elegant gesture at the set table, she smiled prettily and announced, “I now declare this tea party in session.” 

Without further ado, she picked up the teapot and began “distributing” the tea. Unfortunately, it would have taken too long to brew actual tea; additionally, Perona doubted that Dracule had any sweet morsels like cookies or cakes stowed away somewhere. A fantasy tea party like those of her childhood would have to do… but she was no less happy for it. A serene smile illuminated her face as she went around the table pretending to fill up her guests’ cups. When she reached Zoro’s, she couldn’t help but peer through her bangs at him. 

Her heart flip-flopped in her chest again, for he was smiling warmly down at her.

“W-what’s that look for?” she asked huffily and glanced back down at the cup. It ended up betraying her embarrassment; why would she need to pay attention to what she was doing when she was only faking that she was pouring tea into the teacup? Why was she embarrassed in the first place? These confusing reactions to Zoro irked her more than she wanted to admit, and her frustration with herself translated into her being rather aggressive with her miming, which made Zoro quietly chuckle. That, in turn, made her glance up at him again; if she were pouring actual liquid into the teacup, it would have overflowed, for the suddenly bashful expression on his face made her just sit there holding it aloft. 

“You think I sit in on pretend tea parties for the hell of it?” he chuffed, averting his gaze to the empty teacup as he spoke. “Well, the answer is no. I only agreed to this because…” 

“Because…?” Perona pressed after he trailed off. 

Zoro growled, seemingly in irritation at being unable to formulate words, then frustratedly scratched at the side of his head. 

“Because I’ve noticed that you’ve been really down in the dumps lately, and I wanted to make you feel better! Okay?” He snapped it like Perona’s gentle insistence was unjustified, but she was so stunned by his revelation that she ignored its brusque delivery. 

He wanted to make me feel better? she thought with a slow, surprised blink at him. I didn’t think him the type to notice… or care, for that matter. They shared the same space; that didn’t mean that they had to form any semblance of a meaningful relationship with one another. Yet, amidst all his intense training, Zoro had perceived Perona’s growing discontent… and, what was more, wished to alleviate it. Now that Perona thought back, she realized that Zoro had cast her lingering gazes and seemed to hover her over the past few days. Had he been trying to find a good reason to approach her and invite her to spend time together? 

The thought warmed Perona through and through and brought a soft, grateful smile to her face. But one question remained… 

“Why, Zoro?” 

“Whadaya mean, why?” he huffed as if it were obvious. When it became apparent to him that it was not—at least not to her—he rolled his eyes and continued, “It only makes sense for me to want to cheer up someone whom I know is sad, right? Besides…” he trailed off again, but this time only for a few seconds. A rosy hue grew in his cheeks and the volume of his voice dropped to a shy mumble as he went on, “You’re always patchin’ me up… Least I can do is have a tea party with you every now and then.” 

Perona didn’t think it possible, but Zoro’s words warmed her even more. A floaty, fizzy feeling like soda pop filled her to the brim, from the tips of her toes and the crown of her head, as she lifted her head to look at him with overwhelmed gratitude. The only person who had shown her such selflessness was her dear master, Gecko Moria. It made tears spring to her eyes—both the memory of her former commander and Zoro’s kindness. 

These Straw Hat Pirates… If all of them are like this, then maybe they really aren’t so bad. At least, not bad enough for living with one to be completely intolerable. 

Perona wasn’t ready to give a name to the feelings making themselves known inside of her just yet… but she no longer had any qualms about them being there. She could address them later. Now, she needed to focus on conducting her tea party… and thanking Zoro for his kindness. It was very much kindness, Perona could see, and not simple feelings of indebtedness—awkward as Zoro’s delivery might have been. Kindness wasn’t something that Perona was much used to, but, as she basked in the warm glow of Zoro’s bashfully tender gaze, she thought that she could get used to it. 

“Zoro… Thank you,” Perona murmured, then leaned across the small tea table to plant a small, light kiss on his cheek. It was just a peck, only a second at the most—but before Perona’s lips left his cheek, they felt the warmth of the blood that rushed to his skin. She plopped back down on her cushion with a giggle and watched as the sheepish swordsman pawed at the back of his neck and looked down at his teacup with a coy grin. 

“Oh? You’re having a tea party, and you didn’t think to invite me? I’m wounded.” 

Zoro snapped his head up in the split second before Perona whipped around—both of them directing their shocked gazes to the entrance to the room. Dracule strolled in with a dismayed sigh, though the twinkle in his golden eyes and the smirk tugging at his lips betrayed that he was far more amused than disgruntled. When his keen eyes flickered to her, Perona could tell immediately that he, too, had noticed her despondence as of late—and was likewise willing to partake in a make-believe tea party in order to lift her spirits. She could tell, but that didn’t make it any less astonishing, so she watched Dracule with a slack-jawed gape as he strode purposefully across the room so he could kneel in the open space between two teddy bears. 

“Well? I’m waiting,” Dracule demanded with a wave at the empty cup before him. 

“O-oh! Of course! My apologies!” Perona squeaked and hastily scrambled for the teapot. 

As she “poured” Dracule’s tea, she bit down on her bottom lip in a vain attempt to stifle her growing smile. It didn’t really work, and Perona didn’t really mind that it didn’t despite how goofy she must have looked with a cheesy grin plastered on her normally morose face. Kuraigana Island was finally shaping up to be the paradise she’d dreamed it to be. She had her doleful reputation to maintain, but she supposed she could allow the full breadth of her delight to show for such an achievement—especially in front of the man who’d helped make it so.

Thai BL Favorite List

I have been tagged by @littleragondin thank you so much!

Credit to @thatgirl4815 for the original.

Favorite Thai BL:

I've watched a pretty decent number of thai bls over the years, but none have given me as much joy and laughter and butterflies as My School President :D I didn't expect it to take the top spot from A Tale of a Thousand Stars, but here we are :P

Favorite Pairing:

tbh this keeps changing for me everytime I get hyperfixated on a new show, but currently, it's both mileapo and geminifourth :3

Most underrated actor:

I don't know nearly enough about a lot of other thai bl actors in general, I confess T-T but I'd still say Mark Pakin! he's a really really talented guy, and he needs to be in more shows, and in main roles. He's for sure gonna kill it in a rom-com type of show, in a comedic main character role. dude is naturally hilarious lmao

Favorite Character:

toughest question HOW CAN YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE? UNFAIR!!!

I'm gonna pick two, because it'll be cruel to separate them, even in a tumblr ask game TT_TT

and they are : heartliming!!! my babies! my two little sunshines! I adore them both so much!! *sobs in the corner* altho I know MLC technically isn't a bl, but I'll still pick them <3

 Favorite Side Character:

Tiwson from MSP XD what can I say this show and its characters got me GOOD laskgskalsfs

Favorite Scene in a BL:

oh hands down the rooftop kiss from bad buddy the series!!! :D shit makes me feral even now, literal goosebumps T-T

Favorite Line in a BL:

oh I absolutely don't remember dialogs until it's something truly life altering asjhaskfsfs I'm genuinely drawing a blank here :")

Most Anticipated BL (and why):

tbh none currently. I'm not keeping up with new shows atm, so I don't really know that many upcoming shows rn

Healthiest Relationship in BL:

I'm glad we are getting so many more of these in recent bls! but my faves are (unsurprisingly) tinngun and heartliming!! it's really not an exaggeration when I say they healed my soul TT-TT

Most Toxic Relationship in BL:

tbh I mostly selectively forgot the plots and characters of most of the awful bls in the past. but it'll probably be th*ntyp* skgsjfsfs

Guilty Pleasure Series:

none??? If I do end up liking something cringey and awful by popular standards, you can bet I'll still scream abt it with as much enthusiasm as any other show I liked lol :D

Most Underrated Series:

I'd say He's Coming to Me and Moonlight Chicken. both deserved so much more hype than they got. MLC deserved a longer runtime with more fleshed out storylines (but P'Aof did a stellar job, as always) and HCTM was way ahead of its time in terms of the themes and messages it tackled. Thun's coming out scene to his mom still haunts me T-T

+BONUS

Favorite Setting/Location:

with this one, I'm the most basic b*tch ever, so I absolutely jump with joy whenever the thai bl staple emotional support BEACH SCENE comes along !!!! :D so many magical moments come out of that single beach episode, literally nothing beats this trope lol

I'm pretty sure everyone in the thai bl circles has already done it, but still : @solana-ceae @watchingblsnowandforever @bevioletskies @trilliastra @purple-worm and anyone else who wants to!! :)

can i req hcs for pickles with an s/o who has scars on their thighs and got shamed for it by their parents

Hello my sweet anon. Of course you can have a HC with darling Pickles!

TW: Scars, Past: Self Harm, Past: Self Mutilation, Off Screen: Shaming, Shitty Parenting

When the two first met at a meet and greet Pickles just knows that this person is someone special. Someone to keep his eye on. So he, unlike himself, handed over his personal number to this complete stranger to call him for ya know a good time. Days passed and with no word from his mysterious muse he put them to the back of his mind.

That is until suddenly a text popped up on his phone at the most respectable time of 3 AM. It was his brand new friend! Pickles was so excited! To be honest he wasn't really expecting a late night booty/drug call but hey? Who was he to be picky right? Answering their simple "Hey... its [Future S/O] sorry to bug you" With an overenthusiastic "It's nbd! I never sleep XD LOL JK... Anyway... how are ya 2night?" He was a little surprised when he saw the chat bubble on his partner's end of the conversation come to life then disappear then reappear as if they had to think about how they wanted to reply. "Ok... just needed someone to talk to ya know. XD" Pickles smiled at his screen his thumbs moving faster than his mind. "Well u can always chat with me anytime." Throughout the rest of the night Pickles was connected by the palm to his phone talking to his new friend. Discovering new and exciting things about each other. Divulging secrets he'd never told anyone besides the band. He didn't know why... but they felt trustworthy... like they were someone he could really be himself with.

Weeks turned into months with Pickles glued to his phone. At some points it actually impacted his recording sessions when his phone dinged in the studio and either ruined a half assed take or a good one that Pickles just froze in his tracks causing the studio department to groan but at least know they could splice two halves of a song together to get something out of it.

Eventually the day came that Pickles craved meeting his S/O in person again. Properly this time. On a date maybe? He wasn't entirely sure but he knew he wanted to see them again. So without a second thought he invited them out on a nice evening stroll. No pressure. Just a little weed smoking walk. His S/O immediately agreed but on the stipulation that he had to be the one to pick them up, because they didn't have access to transportation at the time.

When Pickles arrived to their place he was a little surprised to find that all the lights in the house were shut off. He wasn't completely shocked. His S/O wanted to be picked up at 2 in the morning and even he understood that was an uncouth time to be taking a leisurely stroll around the block. However when a single light flicked on in the house and the silhouette of a person slipping out of their bedroom window caught his eye, he was hit with a nostalgia that left a strange pit in his stomach and a weird tinny metallic taste in his mouth and not in a good way. Screams from inside the house startled Pickles as his partner sprinted to the car, flinging open the door. Once they were in they were frantic tears streaming down their face. "Drive! Just drive please!"

Pickles refused to comment on the shit show he just witnessed for the first few hours the two were out together. He had just wanted to take a walk and get high damn it! But as his S/O sat beside him in the passenger seat taking deep breaths and trying their damnedest to calm down, Pickles knew he had to address the issue. "Hey..." He started softly, glancing over at his friend as he pulled into an abandoned parking lot of a Kroger's. "Wha' the hell is goin' on? Ya never said you were attempting a prison break." Pickles attempted to joke. But it was poorly received as his partner simply sobbed through the laughter shaking their head. "Prison sounds just about right." They managed to get out, rubbing their legs and their arms for any semblance of calm. Pickles hummed understandingly but he refused to meet their eyes. Normally with anyone else... anyone less important to him he would have bolted in a second, went tight lipped and either changed the subject, pulled out the weed, and pretended everything was dandy. But by the way his partner was acting the way they were moving, holding themselves and touching their legs so gingerly... he just wanted to be sure.

Reaching over and gently touching their thigh, he sighed as they winced away. "You know I'd come bail you out whenever you need right?" He asked so softly it was barely above a whisper. His eyes met theirs and for a moment he was sure they were going to step out of the car and walk away... and who would blame them. In another life, in his teens he would have done the same thing. He would have bolted from the hand that fed him because he'd never known an iota of kindness that never needed to be repaid. Why should he expect anything different from his friend who needed help now? But despite all the odds they leaned across the center console and hugged him close holding him tight. He could feel their tears staining his shirt at his shoulder, their hair caressing his cheek and tickling his nose, he could smell their sweet shampoo, and feel their arms tighten across his chest. Wrapping his arms around their waist he held them as close as the constraints of the car would allow. "Thank you." They whispered softly.

It had been a few hours now. Emotions had had a chance to simmer and cool. With the help of the sick weed and the sun roof on Pickles' car the two melted back in their seats laying them back as far as they possibly could go to stare up at the constellations in the sky and the shooting stars. Pickles mumbled some crazy cracked out conspiracy theories about how there was life on other planets and that little green men were probably smoking space weed right as they were smoking earth weed. The concept of it all made his friend laugh and giggle nonstop beside him, bubbly with the effects of the weed. But as the silence of the night fell upon them again, his partner grew somber once more. "Ya know..." They started, kicking one leg up onto the windshield despite Pickles' best efforts to tell them that their bare feet were going to leave a very conspicuous print.

"My parents can be such douchebags..." They went on to start pulling up their torn jeans and for a moment in his blissed out mind Pickles thought he might maybe be getting lucky. That is until he saw them. A myriad of faded scars littered his S/O's beautiful skin and Pickles' couldn't help but feel a twang in his heart. He had suspected from their reactions earlier in the night... but he didn't want it to be true. Sitting up on an elbow Pickles sighed, reaching over carefully, Pickles stopped, hovering over their thigh, meeting their eyes waiting for permission before he touched them. He knew how sensitive, both mentally and physically scars could be. But as his partner brough their hand down to his own, letting him touch their scars had to admit he felt a little honored knowing that maybe he was the first they felt so comfortable with. "My parents freaked when they saw them last night..." They mumbled. "Thing is... I haven't... ya know... for over a year. I was actually feeling good with my body and just wanted to wear shorts around the house. But now-" They cut themself off with a sigh shaking their head as if the whole thought itself was silly. But Pickles. Pickles was having none of it. "Bull shit, Sticks!" Pickles huffed, using his nickname for them to try and drive the point a little deeper and shuffling in his seat to sit up properly, making the car rock in it's parked position. "That's sick as fuck that your scars are healed! It's even cooler that you've been clean fer a year!" He yelled, banging his fist into the car's roof. "Fuck! I've only been clean once and it was for like... a week. But that was fer drugs and shit so don't count that..." He mumbled making his partner laugh. Pulling his sweatbands from his wrists he showed them his own long since faded scars. "But... I have been clean at least this fer a few years with the help of my friends and Charles... He lets me smash lamps... Whet I'm trying to say is. I know how feckin' hard it is, Sticks. Don't ever doubt yourself, your worth, or your bangin' body just because of some scars. They made us who we are today. Fuck whoever else is out There trying to tell us who to be or what to wear because of them. I think yer amazing so don't forget that! I only wear these cause I got weak wrists and I got the arthritis." Pickles said confidently as his partner pulled him down to their lips kissing him hard and deep.

The next morning came too fast. Clothes spilled out of the windows of Pickles' beater car and onto the pavement of the Kroger's parking lot. Faint tapping is what awoke Pickles bright and early at the ungodly hour of 10AM from his place of slumber in the back seat, naked but covered with his emergency blanket atop his S/O. "Sir... we got a call about two cases of public indecency... can you please at lease put pants on and vacate the premises... there are children here."

I don't usually ask for this pairing, but I'm curious. ObiRin ask. They are dating and they break up. Why would they break up and how do they reunite and try again? Who bridges the gap first?

Gosh, I love this ask! No one ever assumes that Obito and Rin can potentially break up. Not even go on a break; just ultimately break up - you're the first one to bring that to the table. xD

I honestly thought of this happening in a Modern AU because it's easier to find reasons to break up in that type of setting lol XD I hope you don't mind that!

~~

If Obito and Rin were to break up in a modern AU setting, it would be because of fear of a long distance relationship. The scenario could play out like this: LONG POST AHEAD!

~~

Rin gets accepted into medical school in Suna (assuming it's another country), which has a far more advanced program than Konoha, and Obito is very resistant about letting her leave. Obito always knew that her dream was to be a doctor, and his dream is to run his own company, but he never thought that she would willingly want to leave the country to study for the next four years of her life, away from him.

The emotional tension between them escalates and Obito and Rin find themselves having frequent arguments because, well, Obito is afraid of losing her and he feels that their relationship will suffer because of the separation. He thinks that everything will change between them in the next four years away from each other. Rin thinks Obito is undermining her career aspirations and resents him for not being supportive and not having faith in her, especially when all she's been doing is supporting his own dreams from the start.

The fear of the unknown and Rin's determination to leave ultimately takes a toll on Obito and it pushes him to the point where he initiates the breakup, much to Rin's shock. She never expected that he'd break up with her, when she initially thought that they could both make it work.

She immediately storms out of his home, leaving Obito to stare after her with his whole body trembling and every breath knocked out of his lungs. He starts breaking everything in the house, screaming and cursing, before sinking to the ground and pressing his palm against his face, gritting his teeth as he painfully sobs. He never thought that their relationship, which was going so fucking well, would end up being over - just like that - and it was his hands that ended up cutting the ties with her. The worst part is that she didn't fight back when he said those words to her, she just left and didn't look back.

Rin herself would lock herself in the bathroom and would curl on the ground as her body heaves with deep and sorrowful sobs. It was so hard for her to breathe, she'd be clutching her chest and gasping about how much it (the entire breakup) hurts and she'd stay in there for hours, heavily crying.

As those four years go by, the two of them would try to move on. Obito's life changes when his company achieved considerable success after working on it diligently. However, his personality changed so much over the years. When he was together with Rin, he laughed a lot and was a very fun guy to be around because of how warm and happy he was. After their break-up, he became more aloof and reserved. He doesn't smile anymore, he always had a stern look on his face. He spends time at the gym, and his weekends at bars where he has a few flings here and there (an attempt to get over Rin).

Rin would've thrown her whole focus on medical school in order to forget about Obito. She makes new friends, meets new people, climbs up the ranks, but she never allowed herself to get into another relationship. Obito was her first, serious relationship and she really thought that they were going to be together for the long run until they broke up... and the heartbreak was traumatizing enough because he was the one that ended things when she never wanted that. She never even planned on staying overseas, she planned to return to Konoha after she graduates.

So four years pass by, and Rin returns to Konoha. Her friends arrange to meet her in a nice, trendy resto-pub (friends are Kakashi, Anko, Gai, Kurenai, and Asuma), where they would catch up. She'd tell them her stories and everyone would swap updates here and there and everything would be going smoothly...

But then... out of all people, Obito walks into the same pub for a business meeting. He'd be waiting for his business contact there, so as he walks in, he takes a moment to look around, and then his eyes land on a familiar face - and his heart fucking stops.

The timing is just uncanny. There she was, smiling as she spoke animatedly, and there was that familiar spark in her eyes. She looked so beautiful, with that long hair flowing and that pink blush on her cheeks...It felt so fucking hard to breathe....He was torn between approaching or just pretending he didn't see her...but then her friends would be the first to notice him standing there, and whatever conversation they were having just slowly starts to die down as they stare at Obito in shock and anticipation. Rin gets curious about what's gotten their attention, and she turns her head to see....him.

Her heart flips, and time stops. Tension just fills the room as Obito contemplates what to do next - should he resist the urge to walk over to her, or should he just walk away? But as he looks into her eyes - those bright, gentle eyes that fills him with so much emotions that its almost like he could drown, he finds himself unable to resist that pull and he just...walks over.

Rin is taken aback by this sudden step, and she abruptly stands up from her seat as he stands right before her, and a wave of mixed emotions, ranging from nostalgia, joy, pain and sorrow just wash over her all at the same time.

They awkwardly greet each other... tell each other that it's been a while...that they both look good... and just a short update of, "I finished med school and now I'm back here..." while Obito goes, "I uhh... I started my own company and I have a business meeting soon..." and the group are just CRINGING at how awkward and tense they are. XDD Obito then asks if it would be alright to exchange contact information before he leaves, to which Rin impulsively agrees without thinking - she's just running with her emotions upon seeing him and they give their numbers to each other.

As Obito's business contacts arrive, he sticks out his hand for her to shake as he bids her. As soon as their hands make contact - there is that rush of electricity and a tidal wave of nostalgia and it's all so overwhelming. They bid each other goodbye, and Rin has to gather herself so she can act normal around the group, waving off the stinging pain in her heart, while Obito tries to compose himself during his meeting despite trembling.

Obito would be the one to try to bridge the gap. He fucking missed her so much that he spent sleepless nights thinking about her and overthinking the whole awkward reunion that they just had. He then leaps out of bed and goes out for a drive to get his mind off things, but all he could think of was the memories he shared with her as he drove around town. Unable to shake off his emotions, he'd pull over somewhere, grabs his phone and rings her up. He'd anxiously drum his fingers on the steering wheel, waiting and hoping she'd pick up. Much to his surprise, after a few rings, he hears a soft and shaky, "Hello...?"

Obito jumps up and almost fumbles with his phone, before he composes himself and awkwardly greets her back. They talk for a bit.. he asks about how she's settling in.. and he tells her that he was just out. In order to shake off the awkwardness, Rin says that she was planning to head out to eat somewhere before he called. After a few awkward stumbles and unnecessary apologies like, "Oh- shit, sorry..should I uh...let you go...?" and "No, no! It's fine! I wasn't busy with anything, r-really!" (XD LOL) Obito plucks up the courage and offers to take her out to eat somewhere. Rin hesitates at first, but Obito tells her it's just casual and he wants to catch up with her - and Rin finally agrees. She sends him her address, and he picks her up.

Cue in to the most awkward car ride XD where Obito asks where she wants to eat, and Rin says something like, "Uhh.. anything..haha..." and Obito takes her to a cute, little restaurant where they can eat a variety of little meals like soba noodles, udon, ramen, sushi...etc. Here, they catch up about their careers - Rin is offered a position at the hospital... Obito's company is branching (Rin is impressed with that).. and their next future plans.

Afterwards, they go out for a walk by the park. They ask about their personal lives. Obito asks if she's dating anyone.. Rin says that she never dated anyone since...well...him. She then asks the same question.. and Obito gives her an answer that is little hurtful since it hints at his flings: "Nothing too serious. Not since you."

They both come to terms about the fact that neither are ready for another relationship and are just focused on their careers, but they wouldn't mind seeing each other more often.

And BECAUSE they don't mind seeing each other more often.. xD This only means that all those feelings they've buried deep down will start to resurface. They'd meet up again...and again...and again... and they'd both be walking down memory lane as they hang out in places they went on dates, reminiscing their past moments when things were so good.

Obito starts initiating phone calls with her, and they'd talk to each other for hours - and it's almost as though they're getting to know each other for the first time. His schedule is in parallel with hers so that they can meet up when they're free... and it just goes on like this for a while, all under the pretext of "remaining friends".

Until one night... after having so much fun together, Obito drops Rin off to her place and walks her to her apartment. As she unlocks the door, she shyly looks at him and invites him in for a drink. It started off innocent.. with Rin handing Obito a can of beer as he roamed around her apartment and took notice of the sea/beach vibes she had all over. Shell decorations... lamp with starfish designs... her stuffed weird looking turtle (Isobu's design LOL)... etc. xD He comments that she never really changed, and she just sticks out her tongue at him and laughs.

He noticed that she has a lot of photos too, and Rin tells him stories about each one, particularly the ones from Suna. He follows her around as she spoke, and then...there is that one picture frame that she kept hanging... it was a picture of them together, back when they were dating. Rin's voice dies at her throat as she stares at the picture and turns away from him. Obito stands behind her closely, feeling a mix of emotions after he noticed the photo too. Rin tells him she couldn't get rid of it.. she couldn't get rid of any of their pictures together.

Obito would tell her that he didn't get rid of any of their pictures either. He kept each one of them safely because they were all so important to him. Rin slowly turns to face him as he spoke, and Obito tells her that there was not a single day where he never thought about her, and that he was a fucking idiot for letting her go. His feelings starts to pour out before he could even hold them back, and he tells her that he missed her so much and that he's still in love with her.

At those words, Rin throws herself at him and kisses him ardently. Obito immediately kisses her back, grabbing her waist and holding her tightly to him, tangling his hand in her hair as he backs her up against the wall. They heavily make out, and then Rin starts leading him to her bedroom, and they'd be discarding their clothes on the way there, and the two of them would have passionate make-up sex. After that, the two of them would talk about wanting to try again, and this time, they would never let each other go and would work on being more supportive of each other and not to repeat the same mistakes they did in the past... and that's how the two of them would start over.

~~

Sorry this was long. xD Couldn't help it - hope you enjoyed it!

Keyboard Woes: Of Apostrophes and Semi-Colons

---

[[To give some context, I had to write a Student Introduction for my college course. If you've had to write one, you know that they're all basically the same. Being the bored neuro-divergent bean that I am, I decided to have a little fun with it lol! I've cut out the boring fluff though, stuff like, "What's your course? What do you expect to gain from this? Would you sacrifice your firstborn child?" Y'know, normal stuff ^^]]

---

...in 2007! Despite it’s age, it’s quite snappy and useful as a no-distractions homework/writing device. The keyboard is surprisingly nice too-- it feels leagues better than any other keyboard I've used on modern laptops. It was also cheaper than budget laptops nowadays.

...

...

...Have I reached two hundred words yet? I can keep rambling about completely random of things if I haven’t. In fact... I just remembered something that I have, uh, opinions about.

*ahem*

Why.

The f###.

Is the apostrophe not a part of the home row?!

Seriously, we use apostrophes a lot! I’ve used them several times in this intro alone! Despite it's frequent use in typing, instead of being placed under the pinky when the fingers are at rest on the home row, it’s one key to the right. I have to take a fifty-fifty on whether or not I hit the apostrophe key or hit the fucken

ENTER KEY, LIKE RIGHT THEN. No, that wasn’t on purpose, I actually accidentally hit enter just then. Y’know what, I’m gonna leave that typo in. It’s funny and proves my point lol.

Now, one might assume that this is an odd thing to get worked up about. One might even say that I’m actively looking for something to be upset about!

...I mean, you’re absolutely right but come on man, it’s literally one key away from being a part of the home row. Instead, the semi-colon is there. The semi-colon! How many times do you use the apostrophe when texting your totally real friend group, hm? Now, how many times do you use the semi-colon-- YEAH, NEVER, THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT.

Y’know how people have made different keyboard layouts over the years? One’s that change the position of every key and look like an affront unto God, no matter how efficient they may be? If I could, I’d make a keyboard layout that simply switches the semi-colon and apostrophe, okay?!

I don't care if I'm being petty or whatnot, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY LOGICAL SENSE TO HAVE A KEY THAT LITERALLY NO ONE OTHER THAN WRITERS AND MY 5TH GRADE ENGLISH TEACHER USES IN THE "HOME ROW", A PLACE WHERE YOU'RE FINGERS ARE GOING TO NATURALLY REST AND THUS HAVE KEYS LIKE "a", "s", "d", "f"-- KEYS THAT YOU WOULD, OH I DON'T KNOW, ACTUALLY USE!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAA *screams endlessly into void*

---

[[Yup, I really put all that in my Student Introduction lmao xD. It ended up exceeding the word quota by over 500 words lol. I hope you found it as humorous as I did while typing it. It's odd how fun it can be to "rant" about things in a playful manner ^^'. I dunno if if I'll do something like this again but if I do, I'll be sure to share it lol ^^]]

---

[animeomegas]

you're so right about shika reacting like that, I totally agree!!!

I love the fact that the supernatural are known in your novella, that's so uncommon for books like that and I love it! the vampiric animals is a really cool and original idea omg I can't imagine vampire cats, they're so chaotic already, add vampirism to it??? they would rule the world and I wouldn't complain. the implied conversion of the MC though?!?!?!? I love it, it would definitely be me, who would say no to being a vampire????? I would love to read it 😭😭

you got me with the mystery part of your other story, I'm obsessed with that. I also love it when authors use classic tropes but switch the characters around, it makes it so fun! we almost never get playboy MCs either, so that's also super cool!! and the fact that they help each other heal from their issues and grow? &? $? $? I bet I would cry reading that novel but I would love it 100%

AMY????? FIRST????? THAT IS SO COOL I'M SO PROUD OF YOUUU. CONGRATULATIONS OMGGGGGG!!!!!!!! TELL ME YOU CELEBRATED OR SOMETHING! '! &!! & &

how bad is it to get sick during a trip? that's so sad!! also YES I recommend them, I didn't watch them all but I watched a recap and they look cool, it's a classic whodunit and the murders are brutal at times. there's 6 movies in total!! the 6th was released this year and jenna ortega is a mc, I love her. she also played as Wednesday last year and she's such a good actress. I'll definitely check out happy death day after I finish scream 6!!! <3333 also thank you for your congratulations you're very sweet

Yes! I really wanted to include some of the societal impacts of the supernatural in my book, like my MC being a lecturer in Supernatural Studies. One of her classes is in the book, so you'll get to learn a little about how the Black Death affected vampire clans in London :D

And vampiric animals, yes I wanted to include one, so there is one haha. The process is much trickier than with turning a human into a vampire and it takes much longer, so there aren't many around. Most big clans have one though.

MC doesn't get turned in the book, but it is directly expected and referenced that they will be at some point soon.

As for the novel, yes, I switched it because I thought it'd be very cool to get the playboy's inner monologue. The first parts of the novel include, along with the mystery, a lot of the MC slowly focusing more and more on the male lead and forgetting about flirting with others. Let's just say that MC's friends are sick of hearing them give a play-by-play of what the male lead ate at dinner, and then denying that they're interested in him as anything more than a bit of fun lol.

As for the mystery plot... It's my first time writing a proper one, but I'm having a lot of fun and I think it's a decent one, but we'll see haha.

Haha, I didn't celebrate no, because results were so delayed from the strikes, I only just found out the marks and idk, I'm probably going to get something tasty as a celebration at some point :D Thank you though!!!!! You're so sweet!!!! <333333

I was pretty sick in Tokyo, but it was a combination of the flight, which I predicted would happen because it always does, and then also a really heavy workload while there. I lost 9 lbs in ten days because of how much walking I had to do and I the fact that I was too ill to eat more than two apples over three days. It was a shame, but that's what happens when you're in a big group: you can't tailor the trip to your individual needs like needing to rest after a 14 hour flight and two hour queue at customs XD I still had fun though!

And oh, I didn't know Scream films were who dunnits, that's awesome, I'll put them on my list of things to check out! Thanks for the recommendation!!

And you more than deserve my congratulations for surviving exams hehe

🎉🎉🎉

@sparkylurkdragon As someone who unironically uses “it was a fever dream” to explain weirder elements of a story (see: most of Skies of Arcadia: Legends’ bonus bosses and the entirety of Metroid: Other M), I approve. #I have never played the storybook games#so this isn't an indictment of their quality#they just seemed to have weird concepts even for sonic is all#oh dear#medical cw

@nightshadereaper I’m guessing that the curse in sonic and the secret rings was heart burn 

@juliemultiverse ......... I don’t know if I should laugh or.... At one point in black knight sonic fights Lancelot... this means he comes at shadow with a fucking knife!

Haunting Memories

Here’s that Fortune angst I promised. I hope y’all enjoy it! XD

Once again, you’re back in the fighting ring. This time you’re up against a large man with a mutant Quirk that gives him the appearance and abilities of a rhinoceros. 

That means he’s not only strong but incredibly thick-skinned. To say you’re nervous about this match would be a complete understatement. 

While you are definitely faster than him and will be able to predict his movements thanks to your Quirk, that can only get you so far. Just like with some of your past opponents, the only chance you have of winning is by wearing him out to the point that he can no longer move. Although, something tells you that this feat will be much harder with this particular opponent.

Most likely, it’s because you could tell he was being serious when he was taunting you yesterday about defeating you. He claimed that your usual cheap tricks wouldn’t work on him and that no matter what you throw his way he will be the victor.

Of course, that wasn’t the first time you heard words like that from an opponent. However, unlike previous opponents, this man has the power to back up his words. His past matches were proof of that.

In addition to claiming that he’d be the victor, your opponent said he’d beat you down until you couldn’t move anymore. According to him, the pain you’ll experience at his hands is going to be worse than anything you’ve ever experienced. 

So, you think your nervousness is perfectly understandable. You do not want to experience whatever kind of pain the rhino Quirk user has in store for you.

That’s why you’ll have to push yourself to your limits to ensure that doesn’t happen. No matter what it takes, you will not allow your opponent to prevail. 

It’s at that moment the sound of a bell ringing reaches your ears. However, rather than signal the start of the match, the bell becomes a harbinger for a much more horrific nightmare. 

All you can do is stare with large, horror-filled eyes as your opponent literally explodes, covering the surrounding area with blood and gore. Naturally, due to your close proximity to the explosion, you get covered in blood.

Dimly, you’re aware of the screams coming from the crowd as you slowly look down to examine your trembling, blood-covered hands. You don’t know how long you remain in that position, too shocked to do anything else.

You’re eventually drawn out of your stupor by a hauntingly familiar voice. “Ah~ As expected of my beloved Prophet, you even look beautiful covered in blood. Although, I think that it’s a waste that you’re covered in the blood of a fool so far below you, don’t you agree?”

Immediately, your gaze moves to focus on the speaker who’s standing right outside the fighting ring, and you see bright, acid green eyes staring back at you and a large grin that sends shivers down your spine. Pure terror washes over you as your heart beats rapidly in your chest. 

The only thing you want to do now is run, but you can’t. Your body remains frozen in place, so unfortunately for you, there’s only one thing you can do in this situation.

You scream.

Your eyes fly open as you jolt into a sitting position. Immediately, one of your hands flies to cover your mouth to prevent yourself from releasing the scream building up in your throat.

Shivers rack your body as your heart pounds a mile a minute. Tears spring to your eyes and quickly cascade down your cheeks before you can even think to stop them.

Rather than try to fight back against the surge of emotions that’s overwhelming you, you just give in to it and spend the next several minutes crying into your knees after pulling them to your chest. Miraculously, you manage to avoid making a lot of noise since the last thing you want is to wake Eri and have her see you in such a pitiful state. 

Even though there’s nothing you want more than to forget about that horrible nightmare, you can’t stop yourself from thinking about it. As much as you’d like to write it off as just a bad dream, you know that it’s a memory from your life as a cage fighter.

Somehow, you ended up in a match where your opponent suddenly died due to exploding. Unfortunately for you, you can’t remember how that explosion occurred. Obviously, you didn’t do it, and it couldn’t have been the fault of the rhino Quirk user.

So, whose fault was it?

Immediately, your thoughts turn to the person with acid green eyes that seemed like they could look right through you. As soon as you do that, your trembling increases, which is definitely not a good sign since this is the kind of reaction you had after you had that vision of Mumei following the USJ attack.

Deciding it would be in your best interest to stop thinking about the memory, you do your best to clear your mind as you slowly move to climb out of your bed. You know there’s no way you’ll be able to go to sleep on your own after such a horrible nightmare, so that means a trip to Aizawa’s apartment is in order.

So, that’s exactly where you head. However, before you can, you have to make a stop at your bathroom since you suddenly have the overwhelming urge to wash your hands.

For some reason, even though you know it was just a memory, your hands still feel like they’re covered in blood, and you desperately want to get rid of that horrible sensation.

As a result, you end up spending several minutes roughly washing your hands in a desperate attempt to get them “clean”. Even when your hands start turning red, you don’t stop washing them until the sticky sensation you feel finally fades.

Once you’re finally satisfied, you leave your room and take a moment to stop by Eri’s room, wanting to make sure she’s still sleeping in her room. Once you’re sure she’s fine, you take the elevator to go downstairs. 

Much to your surprise, shortly after you exit the elevator, you notice that the lights in the kitchen are on. Either someone forgot to turn the lights off before heading to bed, or one of your students is up despite it being the middle of the night.

While a part of you wants to see if someone else is awake, you’re also reluctant since you know you must look like a mess considering all the crying you did earlier, even though you did wash your face while you were taking care of your hands. 

Just as you’re thinking you should just head straight to Aizawa’s apartment before anyone can see you, a pajama-clad Todoroki appears in the kitchen doorway.

Once you see him, you immediately realize what’s going on. The stoic boy has a penchant for sneaking sweets in the middle of the night, so he’s obviously going after the fruit tarts you made earlier today.

The thought of Todoroki pilfering fruit tarts causes the corners of your lips to quirk upwards. Leave it to your student to put a smile on your face without even trying. 

As you’re thinking that, Todoroki moves to approach you. Rather than make a comment defending his actions like he usually does when he gets caught in the act of stealing sweets, the taller boy remains strangely quiet for some reason.

It’s when he comes to a stop before you that you realize why. Now that he’s closer, you can make out the clear concern in his eyes and the small frown resting on his lips. “Are you alright, Sensei?”

Your first impulse is to tell him that you’re fine, but that would be a lie. And you’re sure that he’d know that. While the last thing you want to do is lie to your student, you also don’t want to tell him about your nightmare since that would mean reliving it which is the last thing you want to do.

Of course, your brain has to choose that moment to betray you by bringing scenes from that nightmare to the forefront of your mind. When that happens, tears immediately prick your eyes as your breath hitches.

Todoroki’s eyes widen slightly after seeing your reaction. However, rather than question you about it, the stoic boy moves closer to you before outstretching his arms.

He doesn’t move to hug you since he’s not sure if that’s what you want right now, but he wants you to know that the offer is available to you. It’s obvious from his soft expression and the worried gleam in his eyes that he just wants to help you in any way he can.

As much as you hate the idea of him seeing you in such a pitiful state, his offer is too tempting to resist. When more horrible memories flash in your mind, you quickly move to embrace the younger boy, hugging him as tightly as you can as you bury your face in his shoulder.

Immediately, his arms wrap around you and hold you close. Remaining silent, Todoroki uses one of his hands to gently stroke your back in hopes of providing more comfort to you. 

For awhile, the two of you remain in that position. Eventually, after you calm down and feel less like crying, you break the silence. “Thank you, Todoroki. I really needed that.”

His arms give you a gentle squeeze. “I’m glad I could help. Is there anything else I can do for you?”

A small smile forms on your lips as you pull away from him so you can meet his gaze. “No, it’s alright. You don’t have to do anything else. I’m sure after your midnight snack run that you’d like to head to bed and get some more sleep rather than stay up with me.”

Rather than release his hold on you like you expect, Todoroki tightens his grip on you, catching you off guard. Your surprise only grows when you see the small pout he’s now sporting. “So, you’re going to see Aizawa-sensei instead?”

Once your shock fades, the meaning behind his words register, causing your heart to melt. To think he’d actually get jealous of the fact that you always go to Aizawa for comfort when you have nightmares. 

The corners of your lips lift higher as you move to softly tussle his two-toned locks. “It’s not because I prefer him over you. I just don’t want to bother you with my problems. It doesn’t seem right for a teacher to burden her students, especially over something as trivial as a nightmare.”

Todoroki frowns, “Anything that upsets you this much isn’t trivial, and you’re not burdening me. You always help me when I have problems, so it’s only right I do the same. That’s what people do when they care about someone, right?”

Warmth blossoms in your chest at his words. “That’s true.”

With a sigh, you press your forehead against his shoulder. “In that case, could you keep me company for a while? I don’t really feel like sleeping right now.”

He softly pats your back. “Of course. Would you like to sit down on the couch, or do you want to do some stress baking?”

An amused huff passes your lips at his question. “You know me so well. I could definitely benefit from some stress baking.”

After the two of you finally pull apart, Todoroki pulls out his phone, catching you by surprise since you weren’t expecting him to have it on hand. Maybe he likes to browse the internet while he snacks. “I’ll invite the others, so they can join us. I’m sure they wouldn’t want to be left out.”

Before you can tell him that that’s not necessary since you don’t want to wake any of the sleeping students, you notice that he’s sending the message to a group chat called “Y/N-sensei Protection Squad”, and you can’t help but snort in response. “Protection Squad, huh? Who all is in that group?”

Once he hits the send button, Todoroki replies, “Everyone in the class is a part of the squad, but this particular group chat is just for the members who are familiar with your past.”

Your eyes grow large. “Wait a minute. Then, that means…”

Shortly after those words leave your mouth, Bakugou, Midoriya, and Kirishima come storming out of the staircase near the elevators. While the latter two are wearing worried expressions, the former is scowling and looks like he’s ready to fight, making you wonder what exactly Todoroki typed in his message since you never got around to reading it due to being distracted by the group chat name.

Midoriya and Kirishima immediately run over to you while Bakugou observes his surroundings as if searching for an enemy he needs to fight. After giving you a quick once over, Midoriya frowns worriedly. “Are you okay, Sensei? Todoroki-kun said you needed our help. Did something happen?”

Kirishima dons a similar expression. “He said it was an emergency so it must be really bad. Whatever it is, we’ll do everything we can to help! You can count on us, Sensei!”

As expected of the sunshine children, the two boys do not disappoint. Unable to help yourself, you pull them both into a hug, making Midoriya flush while the redhead quickly moves to reciprocate the embrace. “I’m alright. I just had a nightmare and didn’t want to go back to sleep. Todoroki thought having more company would help me. I’m sorry for worrying you.”

While they both sigh in relief after hearing that you’re okay, Bakugou glares at Todoroki. “You bastard....Don’t go saying it’s a fucking emergency when it isn’t! You wanna die?!”

The stoic boy just tilts his head. “It’s not like I lied. Just see for yourself.”

His words puzzle you, but before you can question Todoroki about them, Bakugou suddenly stomps toward you, catching you by surprise. As you release your hold on Midoriya and Kirishima, the blond comes to a stop in front of you and studies your face for the next several seconds.

When he finally pulls his gaze away from you, Bakugou turns to look at Todoroki again. “I’ll let you live to see tomorrow. Be grateful, you bastard.”

Stoic expression never faltering, Todoroki just blinks, “Thanks.”

As you snort at the exchange, Kirishima grins at you. “So, what do you wanna do, Sensei? Make a pillow fort?”

At the words “pillow fort”, Todoroki’s eyes brighten. “Yes.”

Bakugou scowls, “What you want doesn’t fucking matter, Half-and-Half. This is about Sensei, remember?”

A smile forms on your lips. “A pillow fort sounds like a great idea, but first, I’d like to do a little stress baking. Any requests?”

Immediately, Todoroki and Kirishima reel off what they like while Midoriya shyly mentions a dessert he hasn’t had in awhile. Bakugou just rolls his eyes before saying that he refuses to bake anything super sweet.

In the end, you decide to make multiple desserts, so everyone will be happy. Not only that, it ensures that you’ll be able to keep yourself busy for awhile, meaning you’ll be able to avoid thinking about your horrible nightmare.

It’s not just the baking itself that keeps you distracted, however. The whole time you’re in the kitchen, the students take turns keeping you engaged in fun conversations. 

Kirishima tells you about a movie he went to see recently with Tetsutetsu that, according to him, was the definition of manliness. Midoriya brings up what he’s recently added to his hero notebook and how he’d like your opinion on some of the observations he made regarding his classmates.

Every now and then, Todoroki chimes in with a pun or a meme, making you laugh every time. While he mostly remains silent except for the times he snaps at the others for making careless mistakes with their baking, Bakugou does eventually start talking to you about his training regimen which he’s considering adding onto and wants your input on much to your surprise.

Considering how much fun you’re having with your students, it’s like your nightmare didn’t even happen. While your eyes and hands are still red, it would be hard for anyone to think anything is wrong after seeing the large smile you’re now sporting.

Just goes to show that no foe is a match for your students, not even the haunting memories of a past best left forgotten.

Lol, reader brings exorcist to the house and demon!dabi just straight up kicks him out xD

♡ Ouija Board (Part Two!) ♡

(A/N: Here it is, the long awaited Ouija Board 2!! You all seemed to love my first one lol 💖 I actually decided to make the exorcist a medium instead!! So I hope that’s okay!!! I hope you like this, you all seem to absolutely love my demon!Dabi stuff 🥰🥰🥰)

Content Warning ⚠️: Yandere, demon!Dabi, demon au, horror elements, possessiveness

Summary: You try to bring your friend who is a medium to your home (Yan!Dabi x GN!reader)

Masterlist ➸ ♡

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

♡↞ Previous

“So has there been any more activity since the ouija board incident?” Your friend asks as you two walk towards the door. This particular friend was interested in ghosts and creepy things like that, so you thought he would be good to bring over to your haunted house. He also was a medium and able to possibly perform an exorcism.

You don’t even know if they do exorcisms, but you just hope he'll be able to do something.

“No, nothing’s happened besides the normal. Feeling someone staring at me, people sometimes looking behind me with fear like they see something, feeling someone next to me in bed. But honestly, that’s it” you say.

Although it may seem like a lot, it was a lot less than it used to be. You used to feel someone wrap their arm around you, or say your name, you even woke up some mornings with hickeys that just appeared overnight.

But ever since the ouija board incident, it seemed like Dabi’s been mostly leaving you alone. Perhaps because of how scared you were last time.

You unlock your front door, both of you walking in together. There’s nothing at first. Until your friend turns around as if he heard something. You place a hand on his shoulder to turn and ask him what’s wrong, although as soon as you do that he suddenly falls to the floor with his hands covering his ears.

“Woah! What’s wrong?” You ask, dropping to the floor with your voice laced with concern. “What’d you mean! You can’t hear that!? He’s screaming at me!” He yells, still covering his ears. All he can hear is Dabi yelling at him.

“Get out! Get out! Get out of this house! Get away from them! Get the fuck away!” Your friend hears a man yell right in his ear, unable to escape it. Although you seemed to not hear it at all.

“I-I’m sorry, Y/n, but I can’t! This is too much for me!” Your friend says, getting up to leave despite your pleas for him to stay and fix your home. You just need him to help you get Dabi away from you, because you know he’s not attached to the home but you.

You sigh once he leaves the door, slamming it behind him while still covering his ears in pain. Seems like he didn’t resort to violence today, perhaps because just shaking the house was enough to scare you. Was it possible he wasn’t doing anything extreme because he was worried about you?

Your thoughts are cut off though by the feeling of a hand on your waist. Not unusual anymore. Although when you look down expecting to see nothing, this time you do. A large hand covered in seemingly gold rings, burnt skin connected to healthy skin by gold staples.  You aren’t even able to process it before you hear a voice from behind you.

“Can you see me, doll?”

Thoughts and Reaction to SIMPLEMAN

A day late but that's what happens when good subs aren't out until the next day, and you're busy that day. This episode is so sweet and wholesome that it was worth it, for sure. I'm still not sure which one is Ella and which one is Etta. They're always addressed together so I just don't know, but I'd like to. ;-; (Note: Looked it up on Wikia, the one in pink with seafoam earrings is Etta, the one in seafoam and pink earrings is Ella) See Nino knows. Nino's concerned about Marinette babysitting three kids already. He lives with one all the time, times that by 4 and WOO that's crazy. Sweet of her to want to ensure her best friend has some time to relax with her boyfriend. Oh. OH those poor Kwami! Especially Fluff and her ears being pulled like a game of tug-of-war! I can see it now, Fluff now traumatized by young kids. So if Alix ever has any in the future, they better grow up knowing about Fluff right away or she's in for a horror show. PV TRAILER AND MUSIC! I'm such a fan of the music and the PV that when my sister told me about it, it made me even more excited for this episode than I already was. And I was very excited already! Manon: So? Aren't you going to answer it? She knows what's up. So Adrien's calling asking Marinette to help sew on a wing? Because nobody else there can do it? I dunno, sounds kind of sus to me, Adrien. Are you sure you're not using that as an excuse just to see your "friend"?

Marinette's biggest problem is thinking so far ahead in her brain that when she goes to speak, she's either way far ahead of herself or gets everything mixed up as it comes out of her mouth. If she just lived in the moment and didn't plan (which being Ladybug that's probably very hard not to do outside the costume), she'd be able to do this and overcome that fear of rejection as well. She seems to have that part fairly taken care though. When Gina said she was in China to learn Kung Fu and met a girl that reminded her of Marinette, instantly thought about Fei. How could it not be her? Rolland gets asked to babysit, immediately is like "Let's do something fun and dangerous!" Tom must have had an interesting childhood with Rolland and Gina. o.o Clearly Rolland doesn't realize who the heroes are based on. Or just completely forgot he met them when Bakerix. xD Adrien's so sweet with Marinette, even if he can't understand a single thing she says. That's adorable. But a really good way to thank her could've been "Would you stay and watch the photoshoot, and then maybe we could go do something fun/get something to eat after?" BOOM. Problems solved. But I have a feeling this may come back later, and maybe that would turn out better. Marinette's grandparents tend to give Hawk Moth/Shadowmoth the most sass and trouble in comparison to other Parisians. XD Rolland is so sweet to these kids, and they are so caring towards him. It's so wholesome! Just think: if that helicopter wasn't crashing behind her, she would've screamed she loved Adrien. So close. Simpleman is the chillest akuma. Being all "Hey kids, even though I'm akumatized, let's go out into the city!" and the kids are like "Yeah, okay. Hey let's get ice cream!"

Him protecting them from all the flying pizza boxes that guy was throwing around everywhere was super sweet too. LB and CN: Things are complicated. So we should find Shadow Moth directly. Let's run around the city screaming for him to come find us so we can fight him! I seriously think if Chat Noir or Ladybug brought up the fact that their identities made things complicated, they would've revealed themselves right then and there. LOL at the old school fighting and them behaving like young children xD "NO!" "I'm NaNa, ClaCla is no longer with NaNa! Paris is really messy! BuggyBug, KittyKity, help us!" Oh this is going to be so hilarious in the English dub with the voice actress who also voices Nathalie. XDDD A bouncy ball is very complicated for Ladybug. That a literal 5 year old can figure out. Wow this villain's power sure did a number on her. xD I find it all the more stressful actually, that Chat Noir and Ladybug can remember what they were doing the whole time they were affected by the akuma. That means if Marinette said she loved him, or they revealed their identities, there would be no going back or being able to make an excuse for it. Can we just talk about how those kids could understand that the reason he wants things to be simple and is upset that the world is so different, is because it scares him and he doesn't think he's capable of learning and changing with the world? A majority of adults these days can't even take two seconds to try to understand someone else's situation(s) before judging and being outright nasty people towards them. Yet these kids were able to do so. And a lot of kids actually are like they are in real life. Some may see this as an episode just for kids to appreciate, but there's a lot in here that's aimed at adults, too. Adults need reminders and these lessons just as much, if not more so than young kids. It's adults that lose their way and needed to be reminded of it, as they have a greater immediate impact on the world. I've seen so many people judge Rolland, make assumptions about him which is almost always the very worst things they could think of. But this episode shows how caring and willing to learn and understand he really is, he was just hiding behind his fear of change and not being able to keep up with it. Some lessons in this episode for the adult viewers are: -You're never too old to learn, get over your fears, try new things, become a better person, and see things through new eyes. -Don't over-complicate or overthink, but don't be lazy and think keeping everything simple will actually in reality be the answer, sometimes it can make things worse! -Kids tend to see the world as things are, not what they think it should be, or believing they're the center of the universe like adults tend to do. -Being wise means knowing that regardless of your field, educational background, age, or lived experiences, you don't know everything, there is always more for you to learn about everything out there. The kids in this show are quite wise, as they know that there is so much they don't know and how they treat learning new things. They also know how adults tend to understand, or act like they understand everything, so we as adults aren't used to it when we don't and react negatively to that because it scares us when we don't know. In that way, this episode was very brilliant! Also that hug at the end, oh you can bet these kids are going to want to go visit Grandpa Rolland, and honestly I'd love to see bits of them here and there, their bonds are adorable and they've changed his life in such a positive way. Also the pure Ladynoir without another hero or Alya or any kind of upsetting situation was honestly such a breath of fresh air! Maybe not the kind of Ladynoir people wanted, but it made me happy. Marinette acknowledged her problem is she's scared of Adrien rejecting her. First step is admitting it! Can't blame her for not being able to do what she wanted, she only just realized the issue after all. It's going to take a little time now to work on it! Is it just me, or

does it seem Adrien's almost trying not to laugh when she was messing up and then asked if he liked fishing? XD Maybe it was the actors tone with the facial expression but it seemed that way! But the way he just watches her run away and does that adorable little chuckle... Oh Adrien, we really need you to start realizing why you keep doing that. "She (Ladybug) reminds me of your grandmother and you know what? You look exactly like her (Ladybug)." Well. Oop. He's onto you! Apparently Rolland isn't blind, as not a single character suspected her from her personality or appearance to be Ladybug so far. Even Adrien only began piecing it together due to circumstances (and his own personal wish that Marinette is LB, you can't convince me otherwise this isn't true). This is going to come back later, possibly Dearest Family? Overall such a good episode with a lot of things in it, if you decide to watch without high expectations or biases. After all the angst lately, it was certainly needed as a nice change of pace.

Hi there! If this for some reason isn't on anon pls dont publish thank you! ❤️ Wanna drop this in here, though i dont know why or what I'm looking for - it's about Seb shouting "I'm overwhelmed" while on some premier (?), you surely know which clip I mean? I saw it earlier and my heart clenched, for several reasons - mostly because I felt really bad for him, it seemed genuine and upset even though he smiled and went "haha 😅😆" after (he does that often i feel, at least i have seen him do that, showing a frustration and then being "but anyways, lol") I feel like it was an instant/sudden reaction coming from an anxious place. Or am I maybe being too overdramatic and reading into things? Idk xD Anyways, was feeling bad because of that and also because I kinda worry that people will see this as a big negative thing cos he shouted at people 🙄

(And also I felt bad because, well, I gotta be honest that it startled me a bit, I dont like shouting in a real setting, it triggers a panic response sometimes and I didnt see it coming at all 😆 thankfully I was good in this case and could look at his pretty face lmao)

Hi sweetheart! Thank you for your message <33 I did see that clip, yes! I answered an ask about it here yesterday!

I'm really sorry to hear it startled you a bit and it triggered you because you weren't expecting it, that's not a nice feeling at all. I hope you're okay?

Without meaning to invalidate your interpretation, I must say that I personally thought it was funny? I think Sebastian was being his dorky, theatrical self and he meant it as a joke, mostly. That's not to say he wasn't overwhelmed, because he clearly was, but I think the scream was a comical exaggeration of how he was feeling? I don't personally think he was very upset or anxious, at least not more than anyone would feel if lots of people we're yelling at them to look their way 😅 I may be wrong of course, but that's how it came across for me!

As for your worry that people will be upset at him over shouting; only people who were already looking for things to be upset at him over will feel that way, honestly. Anyone who's not prejudiced will recognise that he was either actually overwhelmed and his reaction was understandable, or he was just joking around, as he does! So I wouldn't worry about that at all, my love.

I don't know if this helps at all, but I hope it does! Sending lots of love your way!! ❤️

he was a little anxious about bringing you to the dorms for the first time

like who wouldn’t when luhenyang are there (it’s a joke don’t hurt me XD)

but man that wasn’t what he expected

you try to pet bella because why would you not she’s so cute

and she’s kinda just like *chomp*

and kun is just 😳

scolds bella and gets really worried about you and doting on you

the mom in him comes out *no surprise there of course*

but yeah just takes very good care of you

doesn’t stop apologizing

tries to hide how embarrassed he is

➳ ten

is kinda just like shrfkjsdfkfksnskjdhshfsjd oOPS

again, was not expecting that

was quite surprised and can’t figure why bella doesn’t like you

cuz like you’re so lovable how could she not just adore you

feels so bad

was initially really excited to bring you to the dorm

but now he’s like

with all the chaos that ensues here and tHAT no thank you sir

he just wanted to have a nice time
