#I have a preference but I need to know how feral yall are about it

[hijackalx]

*SOME DURGE QUEST SPOILERS*

***NONCON AND DRUG USE MENTIONS***

GORTASH SFW HEADCANONS:

ok to start i think when he was a prisoner his hair got rlly long and unkept and he hateddd it so the minute he escaped he chopped that shit off himself and thats why its so unruly lol (*EDIT he always cuts his own hair is what im sayin)

this man is such a taurus like everything about him screams taurus. has a taurus stellium fosho

would listen to superheaven

hes also sooo jenny by studio killers, disco man by remi wolf, happiness by the 1975 coded with Durge 😩😩

with durge hes also giving bf that ur dad hates but like thats canon. i think he likes that hes able to influence durge to the point that they rebel lol. the type of boy u run away with when ur younger

probably BLASTED jet black heart by 5SOS on repeat when Durge disappeared LMFAOO

also i kind of feel like the fearless buff to his clothing is more an insight to his character rather than him needing magic to not be fearful bcz he literally got the shit beat out of him everyday and lived in HELL how can he not be desensitized to everything at that point 😭😭😭 it does not get much worse than that my boy

hes so thique like hes just a big boned dude. tiddies SO fat too EUGH + thick shoulders/arms. he feels so warm and safe i just know it i just KNOW it gurl

also idk if it was supposed to happen but in my latest playthrough during the fight with him he dropped his bow and just started beating the shit out of us 😭😭😭😭 all hands baby like WHAT 😭😭 so i like to think thats his preferred method of fighting idk if thats canon tho i feel like i seen somebody talking abt that before but mightve just been another hc

occasionally does drugs. likes the ones that make him feel really elated (idk what theyre called in bg3 its some kind of dust or something) ALSO HC THAT HE WAS ON SOMETHING WHEN HE WROTE RHAT FUCKED UP NOTE TO FRANC (WAS THAG HIS NAME U GUYS KNOW THE NOTE) HE WAS OBVIOJSLY TRIPPING BALLSSSSS

lots of body hair…… everywhere……. straight and black body hair. that is so sexy to me let me smell the pheromones in your armpits king LMFAO (i think theres something wrong with me)

going off of rhat yes i think he smells good (DIVINE, even) as a woman that is feral and in heat all the time. but to normal ppl he may smell kind of weird. not STINKY stinky but like when u dont shower and ur natural scent starts to mix with the perfume/cologne ur wearing SORRY 😭😭😭 im trying to be realistic here. or maybe like when u wake up and didnt shower the night before and u can still smell the perfume/cologne u put on yesterday. basically what im saying is he might need to shower

hes just so masculine it drives me crazy I LOVE MEN !!!!!!!!!! I LOVE EEENERM. ME E WN

love language:

giving = lowkey getting acts of service vibes here but u didnt hear it from me 🤫🤐 gift giving too. tav is just his widdle babie and he wants to make sure theyre the happiest they can be 🥺😩

receiving = acts of service LMAO give and get back type of shit

relationship wise i think he is the most doting and sweetest person. like tav will never have to worry abt anything ever again bcz he will handle everything. takes care of them cuz they are his king/queen 😌

GORTASH NSFW HEADCANONS:

yeah going off that last hc he is sweet outside the bedroom but a menace in it. its just the way he is. its probably exhausting too 😩 like if u ask him to be gentler/less intense he will try for a while but probably wont enjoy it as much. he doesnt like to hold back.

i WILL say tho ☝🏻🤨 i think when he gets close to finishing he gets a little more soft/loving. he just has to get his badness out first yall its fine

HIGH libido wants to smash all the time. he also (POSSIBLE NONCON MENTION !!!!!!!) thinks that since ur his u should be willing to give it up whenever he wants it. (NONCON MENTION OVER) i think in the bedroom he sees u as a servant even if ur considered his equal normally. like hes a chosen of bane he has to feel like he has control over u in SOME way

can be selfish depending on his mood. sometimes he doesnt see u as anything other than a toy (lowkey hard for me to admit but i NEVA LIE GIRLS !!!!! 🙅🙅🙅) like can be such a fucking asshole about it too

BUT !!! when he is feeling generous he is soooo generous. EUGH like he will make sure u enjoy urself!!!! probably multiple times !!!!!!!!!!!!

dont know why nobody else has said he has a daddy kink. so obvious like call him daddy ms thing he will nut so hard. oh corruption kink too. like can u imagine Durge being so innocent when they first met cuz they were never allowed to get close to anybody and hes just sooo into it HELLO i got to write that fic NEOW

omg breeding kink too give him heirs. will fuck the shitttt out of u in a mating press. probably comes a lot too almost impossible not to get pregnant with him LMAO

likes to pick u up and fuck u. manhandling king. also will do the faerun equivalent to coke and wants u to do it w him then fuck nasty afterwards

i feel like he doesnt last an extremely long time. 15-20 mins is THE MOST youre getting out of him lol he just gets very excited (which is lowkey kind of cute??)

do i even have to say that this man is packing schmeat. heavy dick. heavy balls. allow me to bear some of that weight for u my liege 🤲🏻🧎

ORIN BONUS ????:

mostly nsfw

ok i didnt originally plan to add orin but listen….. gortash is a charismatic guy….. imagine orin was into him too LISTEN ! like shes jealous asf of Durge in that sense too not just bcz of them being bhaal’s fav. like when i think abt them i just am getting a vibe okay. this trio……..

every time she sees gortash and Durge acting close and doing all their yucky lovesick shit she just gets soooo mad. now imagine she shifts into Durge to get gortash to fuck her. yeah… yall seeing the vision? would he ever find out ?? imagine that was why he hates orin so much?? he doesnt want to tell Durge (cuz thats cheating hes not a cheater duh 🙄 plus hes scared theyll be mad at him) and thats why his explanations as to why he hates orin are so vague

[gomzwrites]

Okay Gomz, I have to know now, other than Gaz (who’s clearly the best, out of question), what is your personal thoughts when it comes to the dynamics between the boys and reader? Imo I love feral Soap ((im just down bad man))

hi hi, okay Im sorry if I interpret your question incorrectly but Im assuming you're asking like how I picture the relationship between Price, Ghost and Soap are like with readers? ((yes you're right Gaz will forever be special)) Personally, I like to think Price to be a man of control, like he is the captain after all, man's entire career has probably shaped his way of thinking, being calculative and meticulous, and I would imagine he's the same when he's dating. Like him having the high ground, being the meanie or bully XD but but but, I also like to picture Price to be someone that doesn't want to be in control for a change of pace, he'll let reader pamper him and take care of him, for once he doesn't even have to think about making decisions and let the reader do whatever they like with him. I think still. he's definitely a pleasure dom, your pleasure comes first before anything ;) For Ghost, if you've read my fics and previous asks, I like to have him serious but also silly in the same time(?) Hear me out, like my man will be scared of intimacy and love and the mushy stuff, but once he felt them and accept it? he'll be the corniest, most hopeless romantic. Im also the type who prefer soft Ghost, idk maybe its just me wanting to let him have some form of soft and kindness instead of being mean and grrr all the time, yk?

For Soap, ((lmao yes feral Soap is good as well btw)), I think my idea is more generic for him, like I'd paint him as the golden retriever boyfriend? Big in showing you his feeling in a dramatic way, but I like to think he also have some insecurity showing and cope with humor. Like, sometimes he'll doubt himself if you actually love him because he's loud and all, he'll have thoughts like "i dont deserve you" kind of thing. I dont write him often enough but if i do, that's how I would picture him :]

Gaz is the perfect boyfriend. No arguments needed. Literally will be the best man wife ever, the most gentleman of them all and he's my husband, back off yall (jkjk, we can share <3)

also this came out longer than expected oops, but thanks for asking :D I like this kind of ask actually so feel free to shoot me another one when ya feel like it!

[i-write-boop-spoops]

Leon NSFW Alphabet

Guess who's back on their BS? This spoopy bitch.

Thanks for the request anon! I am very thirsty for Leon so this was a treat for me!

I tried to make this as gender neutral as possible, but i wrote it as Leon being the one doing the penetrating, not the reader, since it just made it more streamlined for me.

NSFW under the cut

A = Aftercare (what are they like after sex?)

In a word? Clingy. In a nicer word? Snuggly. My man just likes holding/being held by you and just wants to be as close as possible to you. It’s all the hormones and the emotions released by sex,and his protective, somewhat possessive nature, that makes him want to wrap his arms around you and never let go.

Obviously he has to let go, because yall need to clean up. He’ll help you of course, take a nice shower with you, dry you off, hop back into bed for cuddles (or more sex)

And since he’s invested in fitness, he knows how important hydration is when partaking in ‘physical activity’ so he has plenty of water by the bed for sips during and afterwards.

B = Body part (what is their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner?)

*inhales* TIDDIES

Well really, it’s more so the chest/pec/breast area. This goes for you and him.

He knows his pecs are MASSIVE (I mean, we’ve all seen Pokemon Evolutions by now, those are some bozongas). He’s proud of all the work he’s done to achieve and maintain it, and he loves whenever you rest your head on his chest, or suck his nipples, or fawn/drool over them.

Whether you have a more masculine, feminine or neutral chest, whether it’s big or not, it doesn’t matter one bit to Leon. As long as he can kiss, and lick and touch ‘em, he’s happy.

Getting to take off your shirt for the first time was like a religious experience for him. He thinks about that visual waaaaay too much to be honest.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum)

Please let this man cum inside you, please, please, please. That feral possessive side of him sees it as a way of claiming you as his, especially if he can breed you.

That being said, he’ll happily wear a condom/cum somewhere else for you if that’s your preference

D = Dirty Secret (a dirty secret of theirs)

You’d think based on his celebrity status, he wouldn’t take nudes of himself. But he does. And he does a LOT. The amount of dick pics alone you have (happily) received from this man is staggering.

He’ll never admit it, but the risk is half the reason he does it so much.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Considering the fact people literally throw themselves at him, Lee’s only ever been in two or three sexual relationships, one of which was just a one-time hook-up.

Since he’s so eager to please, he’s quite good in bed, he’s the champion after all, your champion, he’s gotta show you a champion time!

F = Favourite Position

He loooooooves missionary, especially when your legs are thrown over his shoulders, so he can fuck you deep and look at all the pleasured expressions on your flushed face. It’s so intimate as well.

His second favourite would be against the wall, facing each other, him easily holding you steady.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment or humorous?)

Depends honestly. Lee’s got this boyish charm and levity to him, so it naturally comes out when you’re having a bit of fun in bed. Little jokes, poking your sides, blowing raspberries (or I suppose Razz Berries), just making you giggle a bit. Sometimes he accidentally says something funny too.

But in moments where he’s more sincere, more loving, more vulnerable, he’s definitely a lot less inclined to be goofy, but it sometimes slips out.

And when he’s in that feral, jealous mood? He’s dead serious.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes?)

Trimmed most of the time, but out of league seasons he lets it get a bit fluffy. Sometimes he has a happy trail too, but that’s also dependent on if he has to be shirtless for any advertisements he’s legally contracted to do.

His pubic hair is purple, but darker than his head-hair.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? are they romantic?)

Leon can be extremely intimate. Some days he just needs to be as close to you as possible, and make you feel so, so good. He wants to show you that he loves you so much, and sex is a great way to show you that.

Sometimes he’s a bit cheesy, doing the whole rose-petal candle-light thing, or he fills up his large luxurious bath for you two to soak in.

He works a lot, sometimes you don’t get to see each other in person for weeks, so when you get to be together, he likes to show you how much he misses you and cherishes you…

With his penis.

J = Jack Off (masturbation headcanon.)

When he can’t be with you, he masturbates pretty often. It’s not just for arousal reasons, but for a way for him to wind down after a heart-pounding match or the stresses and pressures that come with being champion. It’s usually pretty quick, in the Wyndon Stadium showers where his shame can be washed away.

When it is due to arousal, he likes to fantasise about you, or reminiscence on a particularly good romp. If you’ve let him keep naughty pictures of you, he’ll use that as materiel too.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks.)

Not super kinky, but he does like a bit of bondage, sensory-deprivation and edge play. Usually he’s the dominant one, but he likes being a good little sub now and then.

He also likes to roleplay. Sometimes he pretends to be a heroic knight or king, who’s saved you from some terrible danger, and you reward his bravery with your body. Other times, you pretend to be a groupie who wants to please your favourite pokemon trainer/champion aka him.

Also B R E E D I N G K I N K

L = Location (where are their favourite places to do the do?)

Basically any surface in his place, but especially the bed or the shower. He’s also, on numerous occasions, fucked you in his locker room at Wyndon after a particularly difficult match.

M = Motivation (what turns them on and gets them going?)

You in his merch, cheering for him in the VIP box at Wyndon. You in his shirt and leggings (or no leggings ;) ) tottering about at home. Calling him your Champion. Fiery battles that leave him with excess adrenaline… so many things honestly

One way to guarantee to get him going, especially for rough sex, is when someone flirts with you. He gets jealous and feral so easily, and he HAS to remind you he’s the only man for you.

Again, with his penis.

N = NO (is there something they wouldn’t do? what are their turn-offs?)

He doesn’t want to hurt you or degrade you, not really. He’ll bite ypu, spank you, maybe even choke you a lil’ bit, and he’ll call you his slut, sure, but that’s the extent of his meanness. Any more is too much for him.

Likewise, he doesn’t enjoy being hurt or degraded either. He’s secretly very insecure, and wants to be the best, so if you were to insult him in bed, it would make him extremely upset.

He would also never engage in a group-sex setting. He’s too possessive of you, he can’t handle the thought of someone else giving you pleasure or being inside you.

O = Oral (do they prefer giving or receiving? how skilled are they?)

Honestly Leon doesn’t have a preference. He finds both pleasurable and rewarding in their own way.

He loves to kiss and lick and leave marks on your naval and thighs before going down on you. And boy, is he thorough when he does. He definitely leaves you with your legs shaking when he’s done. Please play with his hair when he’s down there, when you grip and tug at it, it makes him work even harder.

When you go down on him, he feels so lucky. You look so sweet and innocent kneeling before him, giving him soft licks and suckles. He’s pretty big down there, so he doesn’t expect you to be able to comfortably suck him, let alone deep-throat him, but if you can, he will be at your mercy.

He wouldn’t fuck your face though, that’s a bit much for him.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough or slow and sensual?)

If he’s feeling feral and possessive, expect a rough, harsh pounding, sometimes his thrusts are quicker in these moments, other times, he really likes to drag it out, really make you feel every inch of him.

When his mood is lighter, his pace is definitely more intimate, less fast, more thorough. And when he makes love, it’s slow and sensual.

Q = Quickie (what is their opinion on quickies over proper sex? how often do they have quickies?)

Lee can’t quite get over how hotquickies are. The rush, the adrenaline, that chase a much-needed climax. He loves it so much.

I wouldn’t say he necessarily prefers it, he just really enjoys them as their own thing.

He’s a busy guy, so they happen fairly often when he has just enough time to give you a good fucking before he has to go off and do some champion stuff.

R = Risk (are they willing to experiment? do they take risks?)

Leon is enthusiastic and likes to learn, so he’ll give new things a try, provided they aren’t dangerous to you or him.

As a family-friendly celebrity, he tries his best to avoid risks that might expose the NSFW-side of his life. So he doesn’t do public stuff. He still, as mentioned in D, sexts often, but that kind of scandal is a whole lot easier to handle if they’re ever leaked.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Some days this man could go for HOURS. Other days it’s a one and done. Depends on his mood honestly. And even if it’s just one round, it’s not a short one either. He’s the motherfucking champion, not a one-minute man.

T = Toy (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Not a huge fan of using toys on you, but not opposed to it. He prefers to do it himself, show you why he’s your champion, and he doesn’t need any toys to get you off. It’s a pride thing really.

But again, he does sometimes incorporate a vibrator when he’s pleasing you, but only when asked to.

He does own a fleshlight, but since you came around, he doesn’t use it nearly as often ;)

U = Unfair (how much do they like to tease?)

He’s playful, that’s for sure, but never mean to you. He edges you sometimes, but always lets you orgasm, and never ruins it.

V = Volume (how loud are they? what sounds do they make?)

He loves to moan, and loudly too. He also groans and grunts, and talks dirty to you. Even in the Wyndon locker room, the crowds are usually still cheering his name long after he’s returned to you. It’s only fair he cheers yours too.

W = Wild Card (a random nsfw headcanon.)

Definitely likes, and encourages, you calling him ‘Champion’ in bed. In fact, he might like it too much, because one time in a non-sexual situation you referred to him as your ‘Champion’ and he got an instant boner.

X = X-Ray (what’s going on in those pants?)

My man is PACKING. He’s got a long, ridiculously thick dick, with a rosy tip and a prominent vein along the underside. He’s uncircumcised.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

His family-friendly reputation is indeed a façade, because in truth this man is a thirsty bitch. If he could have sex every day, he would.

Z = ZZZ (how quickly do they fall asleep afterward?)

Sex is stress relief for him, and if he’s already tired before you fuck, he’d literally gonna wipe you two off and immediately crawl back into bed to sleep. If he’s not tired, he’ll just relax with you for a bit, go for another round or two if you’re still in the mood.

Sesshomaru||NSFW Alphabet

A/N: That’s right, I wrote an NSFW alphabet for him as well. How could I not, he’s a hottie. Also somehow, I managed to keep this w a gender neutral reader, so all my Sesshomaru fans may enjoy (unless u ship s*ssrin, then leave)

Word Count: 1911

Warnings: Obviously nsfw

A - Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

After sex, Sesshomaru returns to his initial composure almost immediately. Like he’ll pant for a few seconds, wipe his dick off and then immediately, boom, like nothing ever happened. Of course, you, are thoroughly wrecked, needing Sesshomaru’s help, help which he is more than happy to give.

B - Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His favorite body part on himself has to be his arm/arms (depending). He loves his arms for a reason completely separate from you, he just enjoys the fact that he finally has two arms, like he thinks back to all the times he didn’t properly appreciate his left arm, and vows to never make that same mistake.

C - Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

As much as he loves cumming on your body, nothing compares to the feeling of cumming inside you. He loves to watch you slowly lose all coherency as he just fucks you full of his cum. If you let this man cum inside you, you will unleash a whole new beast, that you’re gonna have to be prepared to deal with. 

D - Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Sometimes, when Sesshomaru knows he’s going to be away from you for a long time, he tries to fuck you as much as possible. He knows that he’ll miss you and gets a little more lovey dovey, but above all, he’s trying to remember the feeling of you so he can better mimic it with his had.

E - Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Sesshomaru is extremely experienced, on account of both his rank and his power. Demons are attracted to power and rank and, being so noble, Sesshomaru has never had any trouble with finding a partner to warm his bed. He’s not versed in everything but he has a strong sense of intuition and a deep connection with his own desires.

F - Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

A bit cliché, but, his favorites are doggy style and mating press. Any position where he has the leverage to press you down and fuck into you also ranks pretty high on his list.

G - Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Sesshomaru is so serious in the moment. He gets so laser focused on pleasing you that he finds any distractions to be a bit...grating. That being said, you’re the exception, if he happens to make you laugh during sex, he’ll just roll his eyes affectionately before shutting you up with a kiss.

H - Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

He’s about as well groomed as any man of his station at the time would be. He’s not exactly shaving down there but his hair is so fine that it isn’t unbearable. Also the carpet definitely matches the drapes, his hair is extremely light and it’s hard to see sometimes.

I - Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

Sesshomaru is very intimate in subtle ways. He shows you hat he cares by doing little things to ensure your comfort. Whether it’s brushing sweat off your head, setting pillows under your hips, or retracting his nails when he holds you, Sesshomaru is the king of unspoken intimacy. He loves you and he’s going to show it in the most obvious way.

J - Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

As stated earlier, Sesshomaru really only jacks off out of necessity. He had no problem with getting someone to fuck, ad now that he has you, he doesn’t see the need to masturbate. The only time he’ll do so is if you’re gonna be away from him for a while and he’s really horny.

K - Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Sesshomaru has a breeding kink, sorry not sorry. Even if you can’t get pregnant, something in him just tells him to keep filling you with his cum until it spills out. At which point, he just repeats the process. He also has a thing for marking, whether it be by scent, hickies, or with his cum, he loves the reminder/proclamation that you’re his.

L - Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Sesshomaru’s not picky about location. He’s of the opinion that, as long as you’re comfy, he’s ok with it. He does enjoy having his fill of you in your shared bedroom, but yall aren’t really home often enough for him to be that particular about it.

M - Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

The only thing that turns Sesshomaru on is the sight/thought of you naked and waiting for him. 

N - NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Sesshomaru does not care all that much for sharing, and in a similar vein, voyeurism. With voyeurism, he doesn’t mind fucking out in the open, as long as no one else is around. The second he gets whiff of anyone, he’s pulling out of you faster than you can even realize what’s going on. With sharing, just don’t ask. He won’t show it but, the thought of someone else even seeing you that vulnerable enrages him and sets off his baser instincts. If you suggest it, he’s going to be very hurt for some time.

O - Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Sesshomaru probably didn’t even know about oral until you went down on him for the first time. While he isn’t exactly the most experienced in it, he more than makes up for it with his sheer voracity. If you ask him to give you head, he’s getting on his knees, laying you back like, “say less”.

P - Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Sesshomaru can be both but he tends to lean on the more fast and rough side. Sure, your hips and legs hurt, but who can really complain when there’s a powerful demon pounding into you like a jackhammer.

Q - Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

When you first told Sesshomaru what a quickie entailed, he was intrigued. Admittedly, he didn’t like the concept at first, but the more he thought about it the more it grew on him. He likes the thought of you being so needy for him that you’d rather jump him as soon as possible than wait to get home.

R - Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

In terms of experimentation, Sesshomaru’s not all that open to it. He’ll try if you insist but he’s definitely not one to suggest any experimentation. As for risks in terms of location, as long as he’s far enough from others, he doesn’t really care where y’all fuck or how loud you are. 

S - Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

He can go as long as you can. He does like to build your endurance more and more each time, but sex in general with him is a serious time commitment.  He’s more than willing to space it throughout the day if that would suit you better.

T - Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

No toys, Sesshomaru doesn’t see the point in them. It also goes back to his thing about sharing, while he won’t be as angry as he would be with another person there, the thought infuriates him. Just thinking about an object getting to feel you in the same way he does make him see red.

U - Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Sesshomaru prefers not to tease, but he will if he feels the need to. He prefers to get straight to the point, letting you cum as many times as he sees fit to, honestly, prep you to take him in. But if he’s feeling particularly slighted, (whether by you or some demon he can’t quite murder) he’ll take it all out on you. While he won’t tease you in public, in private, he’ll work you up, get you right on the edge of cumming, and then pull it away. The more you whimper and whine, the more tempted he is to draw out your torture.

V - Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Sesshomaru is pretty quiet... usually. While he prides himself on his control, of which extends even to the bedroom, letting out a few grunts once he’s about to cum, his rut is a different story. Sesshomaru refuses to talk about or even acknowledge how unihinged he acts during his rut but honestly, the moment he gets a whiff of your arousal, he sounds like a wild animal. Every repressed emotion and sound comes bubbling back up to the surface and he just goes around growling and panting until he can stick his dick in you.

W - Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Sesshomaru tries his best to be gentle/hold back with you. It’s not obvious and you haven’t noticed because most of it happens in the heat of the moment when you’re distracted by...other things. But, he knows he tends to lose himself inside of you so in preparation, he’ll remove his hands from your body and let his claws rip into the surface under/behind you, whether it be a tree, bed, or just the floor. One of these times, his poison accidently activated and he shielded your body by leaning down and making out with you. That day, he discovered his affinity for kissing you while pounding into you.

X - X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Mans got a third leg, I just know. The baggy pants hide it pretty well but when you manage to pull it out, he’s easily 8 inches (10-12 when fully hard depending on circumstances), uncut, and really pretty. Like other parts of him, Sesshomaru’s dick is beautiful, a small patch of silver hair near his base. Speaking of, Sesshomaru does have a knot, if he cums inside of you, he tries to do so without getting it stuck just because of the fact that it’s kind of a hassle waiting it out. But if you let him knot you and the situation allows it, he might go a little feral whoops.

Y - Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Sesshomaru has a pretty high sex drive and before you, he could control it pretty well in all instances besides his rut. He still maintains his impeccable control but he finds himself ready to go a lot more often than he used to be. Like if you ask him, he’s immediately down regardless of what he’s doing. The only time that he gets supernaturally and uncontrollably horny is when he goes into rut. At which point...good luck getting his dick out of you.

Z - ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

While Sesshomaru doesn’t really get tired after sex in the same way you do, he does understand when you’re kind of tapped out for the night/day/moment and is more than content to watch you sleep. After a while though, the sounds of your heartbeat and the quiet sounds of your breathing will set him at ease and put him to sleep.

Request for anon: Hi! If your still accepting requests I was wondering how would the Bakusquad react to an omega s/o that in public is rather stoic and mature but in private they can get rather submissive and gets easily embarrassed when they get smothered in affection

• Bruh girl

• yeah I got you

• this is literally me

• just even in private I'm not as submissive unless its bedroom stuff

• SO

• tbh it amazes them

• bc in public ur like • _ •

• but in private ur like 😳

• That could be bc of family trauma

• or societal standards

• and not being able to particularly process affection the right way

• you'll never know

• anyway

• these fuckers can't get anything out of you in public

• they don't necessarily try to

• they've picked up you don't particularly enjoy being part of pda in lublic

• but at first they did try to pry reactions out of you

• and they never could elicite a reaction from it

• Occasionally you'll hold someone's hand, most of the time its Bakugou or Kiri. Usually its only if you're nervous around someone or something, a typical Omega response

• You know all your mates are capable of taking care if you if things go south- But Bakugou and Kiri tend to be scarier than the rest of them

• They serve has a good prevention if anyone has their eyes set on you

• But other than that, you're pretty independent in public

• you avoid hugs or compliments

• you avoid holding hands or kisses

• your face is usually blank, unamused or just void

• It was like a whole different person

• Because behind closed doors you were much more submissive

• They had a hunch it was because once you were in a position you didn't need to be in control, you liked to relinquish it

• Like a break

• N they were fine with it

• As alphas, they had the need to provide and protect

• And if they could provide you a place where you could relax, without having to worry about everything, they were going to do so

• You were a lot more affectionate behind closed doors

• If Kaminari asked for cuddles, you'd sit smack in the middle if his lap, arms around his neck

• You'd give Mina a soft kiss before going back to whatever you were doing

• You'd run your hands through Katsuki and Eijis hair

• You'd kiss Seros cheeks while he talked

• You were more open, more vulnerable

• More willing to laugh or cry

• they like that

• but you can't recieve attention as freely as you give it

• and they caught onto it very quickly

• the first time Mina kissed you (she was the first to do so) you were quiet. Like dead silent

• and at first she thought she fucked up, maybe you weren't ready and she goes to apologize

• but then she sees you blushing

• your face is bright red and you're trying to hide behind your hair and sleeves

• and she leans in to brush your hair away and everyone in the room LOOSES it when you s q u e a k

• they're going fucking feral

• "Shut the fuck up!" You huff

"Absolutely dutley NOT!"

Another huff. "I hate you,"

"Aw, princess, don't be mad." Kirishina grins, "it was cute."

"It wasn't fucking cute."

• so they use that to their advantage in the future

• and they SMOTHER you in affect

• and LOWKEY you live for the attention

• but it's hard to accept still lmao

• your heart always beats really fast

• You tend to be a lot more calmer behind closed doors too

• a lot more willing to participate in cuddles and movie night

Nsfw-

• S u b

• it doesn't take much to make you crumble behind closed doors

• Bakugou has a 'voice' and when he uses that voice you have no choice but to listen

• He only has to say one thing and you're on your knees for him

• They have plenty of little accessories for their little omega

• I'm talking collar, ropes, leash, straps, those leather cuffs, and many more 😌

• Most dominant in order

- Bakugou

- Mina

- Kirishima

- Kaminari (he lowkey a bottom sometimes tho)

- Sero (not a bottom but he's super laid back and he prefers his sex on the more laid back side)

• Bakugou is particularly rough (tho there are times he can be gentle. Get you a man that can do both)

• He's got his fair share of kinks and he's pleased (ecstatic really) that you can keep up with them. Enjoy them even

• He LOVES ordering you around

• He also loves asking what you what just so he can see you turn into a stuttering blushy mess. Of course he already knows what you want.

• His favorite parts to kiss during sexy time is your neck and the inside if your thighs

• Mina LOVES domming you

• However she's more of a soft dog and you're less bratty with her

• Like bakugou will spit in your mouth and make you tell him how much you enjoy it, Mina will hold you close and whisper in your ear what she's going to do while she pushes you face down into the bed

• Her favorite place to kiss is your ear and down your back

• Kirishima can either be a diet dom or rough. He usually leans to the soft dom tho. However sometimes he dies snap

• it when he does its glorious

• Mating press is his go to position, usually with your legs or hand tied

• Though other times he'll have you laying on top of him, back on his chest as he fucks into you, hands on your throat or on you hips

• And he'll deadass having you screaming in release

• He's very into body praise however, and he makes sure you know that he thinks you're perfect

• His favorite place to kiss you are your lips and your neck (he enjoys leaving hickeys)

• Kaminari isn't super kinky or very dom, as I said before, sometimes he likes to bottom or sub

• He definitely has a tongue ring 😌

• yall know what that means

• He likes to have you ride him, he likes the view of chest all swollen and red, and your head tilted back in pleasure as you tried to think straight

• he likes it when you stutter and he takes the opportunity to face into you and you're begging for him

• His favorite places to kiss you are your lips and chest

• Sero is a lot more mellow than the rest of them

• He's just really laid back and he wants to make you feel good

• And honestly its a great refresher

• because as much as you like being pushed around and gagged by your Alphas, soft, mellow, vanilla sex is what you need.

• He's soft, fingers tracing your body as his gaze flickers between your face and your sopping cunt

• he loves the feeling of your legs squeezing around his head

• he likes the feeling of his hair in being pulled when he's doing a good job (totally moans when you pull his hair. He 100% has a hair kink)

• He likes feeling the vibrations of your moans or sobs

• he's definitely an overstimulator

• 100% you'll come from he tongue alone at least twice before he'll even think about fucking you

• while he's chill and more on the vanilla side, he's an absolute tease which absolutely leads into the overstimulation kink

• Once you're BEGGING for him to just hurry up and fuck you

• He'll rise from between your legs and grip your thighs, pushing them to your chest and then fucking you

• He also do be a missionary boy

• will occasionally use his tape but not super often (mostly by your request)

• He has a really good knot, top 3 in the group

• I mean they all have good knots, but his is just so satisfying

• And when you're in heat you're definitely pleading for his knot

• That brings me to another aspect

• You're heats are always interesting

• its its only been recent that you've allowed them to share heat

• But when you get heat sick- and you want nothing more than to be stuffed and breeded and used, jts good to have all those alphas

• its good too bc they can shift if some of the others get too tired

• so you're left fucked out and satisfied and they get a break when they need it :)

[spinster-sisters]

Can I request ateez mtl/reaction for them having a spit kink? (Like them spitting on/in their s/o)

Thanks!!

Most:

Wooyoung

Hongjoong

Yunho

Jongho

Seonghwa

San

Yeosang

Mingi

Least

Wooyoung: why is this boy always at the top SMH. Humiliation. Need i say more. Usually leads up to or following the word "slut." If it makes you moan that only egs him on more. Usually on your face, in your mouth or somewhere else very visible. Will lick it off you if your good. Wants you to spit on his cock too. Basically every time yall fuck this pops up at least once.

Hongjoong: pretty often but not as often as wooyoung. Thinks you look prettiest when your wrecked and being covered in his spit is even better. To him its sweeter though. Like you will take absolutely anything he gives you and that puts him on a power trip like none other. Praises you so much for being good for him.

Yunho: won't admit it but it really turns him on using his spit as lube. Like he has done it more than a few times but deflects hard-core whenever you bring it up. You don't know what he's worried about though cuz you obviously like it, he just won't admit how much it turns him on. But yeah, he does it. Pretty often. And it makes him feral. But he will never say it out loud.

Jongho: he didn't know he liked it. Not until you revealed your own spit kink, and then its all he can think about. He doesn't do it very often, lord knows why. But is constantly *thinking* about doing it. Probably prefers it when yall are making out compared to actually during sex. Like for him its foreplay just to get you both in that hot and heavy mind set.

Seonghwa: its not that he doesn't like it. Not at all. He just forgets about it. I have said it before but I think seonghwa is pretty set in his own kinks and uses the ones he likes most pretty frequently, so adding a new one in to the mix kinda breaks his rhythm. If he's going to, he's gonna spit in your mouth just after going down on you to make you taste yourself.

San: versatile man. It isn't one of his top kinks. Enough so it takes a back burner to the many other things yall mess around with, but it pops up occasionally, like once a month. Like when your really fucked out and he just wants to overwhelm you even more. He wants you feeling every possible sensation at once and spitting is just one of the many ways he goes about it.

Yeosang: its just kinda meh to him. Doesn't really turn him on. He will probably try it a few times just to see. And if its something that gets a huge whiney reaction out of you he will perhaps try a few more times. But eventually it becomes sort of a phase that he forgets about entirely.

Mingi: quite the opposite of Hongjoong he just doesn't think its pretty. He thinks you look best when your done up all nice and cute and is very careful to not ruin that facade and spiting on you would do exactly that.

[puppy-phum]

some heihua for the soul

so the update for Binding isn’t happening today bc my brain is complete mush after trying to aggressively finish my thesis yesterday and i decided to give my brain two days off bc of that. also, i promised @ashenwren some time to beta read the ending part (which they already did but! now i need some time with it myself) so i am leaving everybody to wait until saturday. 

meanwhile, i am offering yall a sneak peek/first look at my heihua fic which is very loosely tied to my pingxie. basically, this is just me playing around with hei xiazi as a character and his and xiao hua’s dynamic’s more... tender side. 

i know that @jockvillagersonly and ashen have already read this which has been amazing so thank you for your love ♥ but take this again ^^ also thanks to @cross-d-a for listening to me ramble about heihua and sharing this idea with me. and thank you to @i-am-just-a-kiddo​ who i’m doing all of this for ♥ you are the best parent-in-law for these two and this fandom!

It’s a bad week for him. 

First, it’s the girl he finds while raiding a warehouse full of smuggled weapons and possibly, most likely, drugs. She’s maybe twelve, eyes wide and hair messy, bones poking her skin where Hei Xiazi can see her elbows flashing under her short sleeves. There are bruises around her wrists and burn marks on the inside of her arms. She doesn’t speak but she doesn’t have to, all of her screaming of experiences worthy of a hundred years instead of a dozen. 

She presses her face into her hands when Hei Xiazi fires his gun, and he feels something come loose inside of him at the broken, aborted noise she makes that rings louder than the shot itself. 

Hei Xiazi carries her kicking and screaming out of the warehouse, leaving behind the slowly ending gun fight and the smell of gasoline. She only goes silent once Hei Xiazi puts her down, flinching bodily away from him but not going far. She hovers, fingers slowly curling around the hem of his long jacket while they wait, shoulders hunching against the cold. Hei Xiazi offers her his jacket with a smile, buys her a sandwich which she then throws up, and helps her into a hospital once they’re safe to leave. 

No one else stays behind with her. All the other people they found from that warehouse scattered as soon as the fight began and only she remained, lost in the thought of having to leave the premises that had become her world. She has no family, no house, no money. Hei Xiazi watches her leave with the social workers, bones of her wrists like twigs threatening to snap even after some proper meals and eyes so big they seem to swallow the light around her. She still hasn’t said a word. Hei Xiazi doubts she ever will. 

Her pale face looks like a ghost as she turns to give Hei Xiazi one last glance over her shoulder, and that’s what she becomes to him once he goes home and puts that warehouse out of his mind. It’s hard and he feels himself haunted, and whatever it was that got loose in his chest rattles like the tail of a snake. 

Then, he hears about Su Wan. Hears about the mission that went south with the three youngsters. Hears about Su Wan getting hurt. 

It isn’t anything new in their line of business to get hurt, to even die. When he first met the boy in the desert, he predicted he would find him six feet under after only a day. There was too much softness in Su Wan, too much trust, too much naivete. He had a big brain and clever ideas but his core was gooey, leaking out in way too telling bursts, leaving nothing hidden. 

Su Wan had reminded Hei Xiazi of young Wu Xie. Even his floundering with his knife had reminded him of Wu Xie. Even his adaptability had been annoyingly similar to Wu Xie’s, and Hei Xiazi had questioned his taste in students. At least the boy had paid better. At least the boy hadn’t been wishing to die. 

He had not expected, after knowing all of that, to experience such fear when he first heard that Su Wan had gotten himself stabbed and had almost bled out in a cave, with only Li Cu and Yang Hao to look after himself and a saving bed of a hospital hours away. His hands had shook, making it impossible to hold anything while trying to breathe, and he had quickly been reminded of the little girl, torn open and going a bit feral just because she didn’t know what to do.

It was a surprisingly new thing to care. As surprising as the fact that he still knew of such things.

“I thought I had taught you better, kid,” he says as he goes to the hospital, in the middle of the night of all things, having to cover Su Wan’s mouth so that he doesn’t scream and wake up the better half of the city. The boy’s eyes are wide and heartbeat rapid under his fingers where he can feel it pulsing against Su Wan’s jaw. Then the boy is scrambling at his fingers to speak from between them. He pulls his hand away. 

“Hei-ye!” the boy whispers fervently, like an anchor casted in water. “I thought you were out of the country!”  

“I was until yesterday when I heard that you got stabbed,” he explains, voice leaning more towards mockery than any actual care. Su Wan knows what that means. The boy knows more than anyone else has ever known about a person like Hei Xiazi. It’s a strange thing but Hei Xiazi has come to almost like it. 

“I’m fine!” the boy chirps, lighting up like a lightbulb. Hei Xiazi helps him sit in his bed, snatching a chair for himself from the corner, and then evaluates the damage. Su Wan is smiling while a thick roll of bandages circle his stomach. There are at least thirty stitches there, curving along his side. Some more adorn his bicep where he tried to evade another blade. A darkening bruise is making his cheek swell, casting an extra shadow under his chin. 

Hei Xiazi sighs and closes his eyes when Su Wan starts to tell the story, his voice a soft whisper made even softer with lingering sleep. The beep of the machines tell Hei Xiazi the boy is alive. The painful thrum of his own heart tells him he’s alive too. 

Su Wan falls asleep holding onto Hei Xiazi’s sleeve. He cannot remember how the boy got the leather between his fingers but prying his hold away is like bending steel. It feels impossible and burns equal amounts. 

Finally, he slips back into the cold night. 

He doesn’t go to his apartment, the one he’s currently occupying, his few belongings strewn across the floor and nothing making the place feel like his. Even after years and years and years, some part of him still feels sick at the thought of emptiness. He’s tried his hardest to carve his bones empty and chest clean but after each year spent alone or with someone or wanting, he realizes it’s a battle he cannot win. There’s something terribly strong under his ribs. It refuses to die even before his curse of immortality and the knowledge that goes beyond his comprehension. It refuses to die even when facing the cold, cruel world. 

The walls surrounding the Xie Manor are high but not high enough to keep him at bay. If they were, he would’ve never come here. He would’ve never returned, not after he once left. 

Climbing up the wall of the manor to the third floor makes his lungs burn, but then he’s pushing the window open already, stepping silently onto the polished floor. 

“Xiazi,” a familiar voice says, not even pretending to sound sleepy. “It’s three in the morning. Is it really a suitable time to be visiting the head of Xie family?”

Hei Xiazi smiles, shrugging off his leather jacket and placing it onto the back of a chair beside him. The air in the room feels chilly with the window open but he likes to hear the noises from outside and he likes the line of silver painted onto the floor and across the luxurious double bed. He likes that he can pretend his vision is so clear just because of the moon. 

“Hua’er-ye,” he says back, voice like honey because he loves to tease this man and loves how the tone makes his perfect eyebrows pinch. “Are you sure this isn’t a dream?”

“I would dream you naked at least, not dripping mud all over my floors.”

“As you wish,” he says and reaches for his own belt before moving closer to the bed, toeing his shoes off on the first two steps.

Xie Yuchen is warm but firm when Hei Xiazi meets his body, crashing into his lips and then slipping hands down his silk covered spine. He hums, hiding his laugh. He’s always loved the absolute brilliance and practicality and strength of this man but under all that, Xie Yuchen is a little spoiled. A rich family head. A powerful man with more money than Hei Xiazi could possibly imagine. He’s never tried, not really caring. For all his acting, he’s never gone for Xie Yuchen for his money. 

He takes care of helping Xie Yuchen out of his expensive pajamas, kissing him wet and shivering after each uncovered piece of skin. There is something beautiful about Xie Yuchen in the stark light of the moon, eyes burning bright and the line of his throat like an invitation. Hei Xiazi wishes he could tell him that, sometimes, but he’s preferred to seal his lips. His poetry would not suit the ears of Xie Yuchen. 

He’s never been one for pretty words, crude and almost barbaric instead, tongue made out of barbwire and mind of a strategic plan. Between them, all those edges exist in harmony, and so he’s never felt the need for anything more, enjoying the simplicity of just being. 

Ironically, as the sun is already rising, coloring the horizon with its colorless light, he still descends into words. It’s like something is pulling them out of his chest, and when there’s a force outside of his control beneath his ribs, he cannot do anything but unravel upon Xie Yuchen’s white satin sheets.

“There was this girl,” he says, looking into the still remaining dark – or as dark as anything can be for his eyes, that comfort taken from him ages ago. “I saved her from a warehouse a couple of days ago. She didn’t speak, couldn’t eat because she’d been kept hungry for so long. There were burn marks on her arms, probably from cigarettes or a lighter. They told me she was thirteen. She didn’t look like she was thirteen.”

Xie Yuchen’s hands are on his back, brushing lightly against his shoulder blades, drawing something there. His heartbeat is steady under Hei Xiazi’s cheek and his skin burns, burns, burns. He remembers how he had looked at that girl in the eyes and seen himself there. 

“I remember,” he says quietly, closing his eyes, “feeling the same burn on my skin. I have no memories of when or why but I know there were cigarettes. I know her pain. I know the scars.”

“Were you a child back then?” Xie Yuchen asks, his body a strong, sturdy thing against him. A rock. A mountain. He never thought he would feel lost in this world but there is something about himself in every child he’s ever saved, in all of their wide, fearful eyes, in all of their screams, their desperate fight, their bared teeth and messy heads of hair. There’s something about him in all of their thrumming, wild panic, like a bird under their skin; in their desperation to get away, to find a place to belong, to find safety and food and trust. To heal a body that has not been their own or has felt like an enemy or a liability or a curse. 

He cannot remember the time he was a child, cannot remember the time before he went blind and began to see too much, cannot remember being anything but this eternal man on the outskirts of the world. He cannot remember ever having a family or feeling the absence of it. 

But then, there’s this echo in his mind. It rings back from the eyes of every child he’s ever tried to help. He thinks, maybe, he still knows how he lost. 

“I only remember being burned,” he says. “I only remember the pain and being afraid. And isn’t that a stupid thing to remember when it could be so many things?” He laughs, as much as it can be a laugh when something twists inside of his chest, bringing tightly together that something that was let loose. He chokes on it, feeling his voice die down. Xie Yuchen turns beside him so that they both lie on their sides, looking at each other. The line of the moon falls over Xie Yuchen’s hips and almost lands on Hei Xiazi’s waiting hand. 

“Bad things linger,” Xie Yuchen says with a certainty of a man who knows this to be true. During the years, Hei Xiazi has learned a couple of the bad things that happened to this proud man. “But you are turning them into something good.”

“And how much does it change to save a couple of children?” he huffs, tired of the heart that cannot leave him at peace.  

“For them, everything.”

*clears throat*

okay so i rarely share any hc lore for canon characters i have in public / online

B U T

I'm going to now since I feel confident enough help

So this is my lore dump about Liebold's family ! Enjoy ;)

- - - - -

Liebold lives in Porta Fisco, in the house where his mom and his grandma both live - Their relationship is healthy and they both help eachother out whenever someone needs help - (I'll come to the details in a sec)

His mom Charlotte is really good at cooking and enjoys it, she even occassionally works part-time at Chez Schlumpi since her food is so good - And overall, Charlotte is pretty much your housewife mom but she actually loves it

And there is a very good reason for that, and that is Nan, aka. Charlotte's Mom / Liebold's Grandma

Nan is the polar opposite of her daughter - And I think if I say the fact that she was the co-founder of the weapon store next to Bambina's Mom says it all

This woman L O V E S her guns, her bazookas and whatever she stores under the floorboards

And Ulrike (her name) truly used to be a real girlboss gunwife, and was/is rlly good with Bambinas Mom (Lucille) - So her having a shy and rather not super feminist ultra boss daugther had her not super fazed

Charlotte met Liebold's dad when she was pretty young, sadly the guy cheated on her - However instead of demonizing the guy in front of her son, she rather says she doesn't want to live in the past and even is neutral towards him....Unlike Nan, who says she'll dismember his intestines if he dares to step on their property again

Charlotte's Dad was a gun freak from Flo Rida, a city known for its crocodile markets on Deponia - He stole one of Ulrike's guns and after that the man ran for his life

Yes, there is a no gun rule at the table, since Charlotte can't stand it - By the way, she knows how to handle a weapon, yet she prefers the talking over violence rule

imma just say, FERAL grandma (who has a southern accent cuz i said so) , KALM mom, so liebold has an odd balance inside of him

-----

Suzie lives in the house too, and they are all very accepting of her, Ulrike even tries to teach her self defense techniques

okay i hope im not super cringe have this yall

[theteapotofdoom]

I know you love the Shigabowl but may I present: Tenyabowl Also Tensei being the wingman for all of them, but at the same time is like “break his heart I break your soul :D”

YES OH MY GOD BUT OF COURSE ABSOLUTELY!!! I’VE BEE THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS YES!!!

I feel like I really need to talk about Iida more on this blog so you can all fully realise how much I love him and how much I think about him daily. I completely agree with you, Tenyabowl is real and canon and the only bitch I trust.

Like, we don’t talk enough about the fact that Horikoshi said that Iida is canonically considered as one of the pretty boys of the class. I mean we been knew, but it’s good to have Horikoshi’s written words to prove it. I have this very strong headcanon that literally EVERYONE in 1A (and all of the first years tbh) has some sort of crush on Iida. For most some of them, it’s full-on hardcore yearning and pinning, for others it’s more of casual “damn he is pretty”. No one is immune to the Iida charm, he is the beautiful beefy jock, prep, nerd who loves his friends and learns from his mistakes and goes feral when no one is looking. Chaotic good KING ...

Just for funsies, here are my favourite Iida ships in ... some sort of specific order but not completely? Mostly in order of preference, but things tend to switch around.

1) Shiniida (Shinsou x Iida) YEAH I KNOW IT’S A CRACK SHIP but I really can’t help it ... Iida and Shinsou are my two favourite students characters, and there is surprisingly a lot of good art and fic out there and I’m weak. Also, Iida is jock/prep/nerd and Shinsou is 1000% pure goth, so they complete each other as soulmates and reach perfect balance together. (Please talk to me about Shinsou joining class 1A and Iida being a good class rep who helps in to fit in and Shinsou going full yearning ...)

2) Iideku (Iida x Deku) CANON KINGS!!! The number one spot can switch around between Iideku and Shiniida depending on how I feel. Iideku is so incredibly powerful and important to the story, and I’m actually really bitter that most people sleep on it. It’s literally from enemies to rivals to best friends to lovers (yeah remember that Iida and Deku’s relationship didn’t have a super smooth smart). I am enamoured with how much they trust each other, respect each other, and how much they keep influencing each other for the better. Like, the Stain arc and the Bakugou retrieval arc are PEAK Iideky content. Horikoshi is blessing us with beautiful parallels and emotionally charged scenes, we love to see it. Like, the scene where Iida punches Deku is one of my favourite scenes in the entire series (and I’m lowkey bitter that the fandom keeps reducing it to “shouto is mad that iida punched his boyfriend”). I’m could actually write a whole ass essay about iideku and why I love it so much, but I will have mercy on yall. 

3) Todoiideku/Todoiida (Todoroki x Iida x Deku and Iida x Todo) I’m putting this two together because they have similar energy and I like them for similar reasons! I just think that Iida deserves all the boyfriends you know? Todoiida doesn’t hit me as hard as iideku because they don’t have much connexion and history but it’s still so good. It’s just a really cute ship, with just enough drama to give it the good flavour. And also the concept of Todo and Deku just both being super smitten with their cute tall speedy bf is just beautiful to me ... like i said he deserves all the boyfriends.

4) Iidachako (Iida x Occhako) THAT SHIT IS JUST CUTE AS FUCK MY DUDES ... here I don’t have too much meta to share. It’s just that Iida is my favorite boy after Shig and Ochako is my favorite girl after Toga, and I love their friendship, so the idea of these going from best friends to awkward pinning to actual couple is just ... it’s just that good shit, you know? Actually, they remind me a lot from one of my favourite ship ever from the show Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun (it’s good you should all watch it) between Nozaki Umetarou and Sakura Chiyo. Chaotic clueless oblivious toll boy and small fierce emotional cute girl. We love to see it. It’s not favourite ship for either of them (I’m actually a HUGE closeted kacchako shipper, don’t @ me, they’re cute) but I love it nonetheless. 

5) Meiida (Mei x Iida) I JUST THINK THEY’RE NEAT ... CHAOTIC NERD BABIES ... I THINK THEY SHOULD KISS ... I think they had a very fun chemistry during the internship arc and I would love to see more. I think they have a lot of potential because Iida has a very mechanical quirk and Mei is well, an expert mechanic, so you could do so much with them!!! I also like it because Iida looks very organized and chaotic on the surface but is actually very chaotic and messy deep down, while Mei looks chaotic and messy, but she is actually very confident and organised. LOVE ME SOME PARALLELS ...

6) BakuIida (Bakugou x Iida) I just ... I just like ... the dynamic ... Bakugou looking like a punk but actually being an ace student who goes to bed at 8am and never breaks any rule, and Iida acting like a nerdy lawful prep but actually being a full ass punk who goes tries to murder villains in dark alleys. THE POTENTIAL OF THIS DYNAMIC ... GIVE IT TO ME ... I WANT THE FICS ... FEED ME ... I feel like they would just be very passionate and so the relationship would be chaotic but they would actually help each other out SO MUCH ... i love it.

There are a lot more Iida ships I like (IidaMomo, SeroIida, IidaYama ...) like I said, I’m pretty sure that every first-year student in UA has a crush on Iida because how could you not??? But these are my favourites at the moment.

Hhhhhh that post got out of hand, I didn't even get to talk about Tensei BUT I AGREE WITH YOUR TAKE!!! He is equally best wingman and protective big bro who will kill whoever hurts his baby brother. Tensei is a pro hero so he has the potential of being TERRIFYING I just know it. (Also I suddenly remember that Shigaraki x Tensei is one of my crack ships ... don’t @ me, I know ...)

[patron-saint-of-emesis]

thinking about how i keep on doing stuff WAY above my pay grade at work and i kinda want to physically fight the owner bc i know i am not getting a raise anytime soon

[[MORE]]

i’m a waitress so like, my job is serving my tables and my side-work. that’s it. i get paid $4 an hour, which admittedly is nearly twice server min wage but. $4 an hour. and i am not gonna lie, i know i’m not the best at my job, but it feels like i’m the only one who works and puts effort in and its being aknowledged in every aspect except monitarily/verbally. my managers are ACKNOWLEDGING im progressing and doing way more shit than others but they will never say that to my face and they do not want to give me a raise rn bc they dislike what i’m like outside work. i make the most out of any waitress there in tips and i finish all my work with ample time to do everyone elses work too, cause no one else really gives a shit. and its. not recognized. all they do is put me in charge MORE OFTEN without any thanks or aknowledgement

im literally frothing at the mouth. like. im rattling the bars of my cage

all my friends work there and the pay is good so i’m reluctant to quit but jesus christ im literally handling all my tables, handling half of everyone elses bc theyre all new hires who were NOT trained so i gotta help them with the computer system/our menu/bringing out food/running checks, ALL the side-work bc again no ones trained properly or they just dont do it, literally half my shifts a manager tells me “im going in the back, you’re in charge, here’s my card if you need any discounts, you’re the only one allowed in the regester” LIKE. AT THAT POINT GIVE ME MY OWN CARD. LET ME IN THE REGISTER ALL THE TIME. i dont even want to be a manager but if they’re gonna fucking give me all this responsibilty at LEAST make me a head server/shift leader or be like “hey! good job!” every once in a while.

fuckin. all the new hires have been coming up to me for advice or questions. literally i’ve had them come up to me and tell me the kitchen’s being shitty so i had to go back and tell the kitchen off. MULTIPLE TIMES. i’ve even had to tell the kitchen how to do shit! i’ve had SO many people ask me to use “my manager password” for authorizing stuff and i always tell them and whoever else is in ear shot that i’m not a manager, i don’t have a password, i just have all the goddamn responsibility of a shift lead and none of the money or title to show for it. if you have half your staff coming to ME for management questions or work advice or how we should run things that shift, maybe thats a sign i’m doing too much managing or the managers are doing jack shit! literally most of my tables lately have been tipping me extra and telling me its cause i’m always sprinting around and busy, and i wanna just. course im always sprinting around and busy! bc im doing EVERYONE ELSES job! i’ve even had tables tip me 50%+ and tell me to please not quit cause the place would suck without me!

i’m just... i love this place and thats WHY i put all my energy into it, i adore this restaraunt and all my coworkers but i feel so taken for granted and it. sucks. id quit but if i go anywhere else its gonna be a big pay cut and no guarantee that anywhere else would be better. i wanna sit down my boss and managers and be like, hey, i’ve been busting my ass for yall since day 1 and i’ve gotten one raise in two years and absolutely no official moving up the ranks, but they don’t like me :) cause i started dating a former manager (after he quit) and they think i’m an alcoholic (which ??? hello?? its been months since my last drink tyvm and i’ve been v open about my sobriety nowadays). the problem is they can’t keep out of work shit out of work and i wanna call them out on it SO bad but there’s no scenario where that doesn’t end in me snapping at my shitty bosses and me getting fired

ill be FINE but if i dont get some kind of recognition im gonna smash something. preferably a full tray of food in the dining room. im going feral yall

Anonymous inquired · a minute ago: Most just because of me being dumbass as usual anyway, sorry! ❧- not really busy, just lazy and having fun by just lurking around ✘-i think i should had better way to interact with your kitties ❀-totally my problems for being anon and not used to rping so i don't really know how to interact ✄- maybe i'm just too hopeful or tumblr being sucks as usual and you didn't realize the notifications Why We Don’t RP:  ❧ - I want to someday but I’m too busy right now  ✘ - I approached you once and it didn’t go anywhere  ❀ - you write with another version(s) of my character already  ✄ - we started plotting but you forgot to reply and it’s been too long 

You’re always free to lurk around LOL I don’t know how many actually, lurk or follow my blog just to see my dumb cats. HHHHG YEAH I DONT-- I don’t remember anyone approaching me recently or maybe this was just on anon but? I got a few other anons that come say hi and interact a little too so I’m not sure which one you are-- I’m really sorry sweetheart. I really try to keep track of the asks and sometimes my ask box DOES eat asks and I always recommend my annonies to save it somewhere like on a note just in case? But it’s just a suggestion, whether they do or not is up to them lol. The only other way I can think of to have a “better way to interact” is to somehow make it so I know it’s you or come off anon but I’d never ask you or my other ones to do that. I typically answer asks that are not on anon or IC privately even though I get /confused sometimes

Another version of your character? I’m literally shookith. I- I don’t know what that means LOL and I feel like I have -100 intelligence right now dear. In my brain, having multiple anons interacting and having their own characters/self-insert/i dont even know to me makes them all unique. Of course, sometimes I do have difficulty knowing which one it is if the pronouns are still “They/them” And even going further; anons are really special. They kind of get to do whatever they want, just they’d have to accept the consequences of what Iza or Zuo would do as a result, especially if they are being provoked lol like tbh IDK Iza isn’t that nice. He’s super mean. Iza’s that cat that you want to pet but is pretty feral and would hiss/swipe/bite you if someone comes at him the wrong way. He’s pretty defensive. And Zuo lmfao. He’s, ya know, “I won’t hesitate binch” 

For the plotting but I didn’t to respond-- I’m not sure which one this is because I have plotted a little with Hana mun and I think K even if it was really loose but sometimes my ask box does eat the ask or- this has happened- I see it, get distracted then completely forget. It’s really easy for me to get side-tracked so don’t feel bad for asking if I gotten something or not sometimes I do need a reminder, especially if it’s been 3+ days. Like if I leaving you waiting for a week, yall, lemme know LOL Sometimes I worry if my dear anons have read rules/bios but I know some prefer mobile/are on mobile mostly and I don’t ever mind linking that stuff but it’s in there for sure about reminding me even though it’s been like 3 years since I updated the rules LOL 

plz respond back so I know which darling anon this is /heartbreak

[idontblushsrry]

SFW Alphabet|| Megumi Fushiguro

A/N: Uhhhh I’m back on my bullshit >:) it’s missing Fushiguro hours folks.

Word Count: 2050

A: Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

(If you want some more in depth affection headcanons click here)

Fushiguro is someone who isn’t big on pda but makes up for it in private. In public, he’ll hold your hand but in private he’s laying i your lap while you massage his scalp. Basically, he’s a big softie that just represses his urge to cuddle until he’s alone with you.

B: Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Best friend Megumi is literally the president of the Y/N defense squad. If anyone has a problem with you, they have a problem with him. Of course, you have to rein him in sometimes and remind him you can fight your own battles, but just know he’s lookin out for you.

C: Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Fushiguro loves to cuddle, but he will repress the urge to do so for as long as possible. Because of that, he doesn’t let you go, preferring to cling to you throughout the night. His cuddles are always deceptively loose too. His arms give you just enough wiggle room but the second you try to get up, it’s like fighting two pythons.

D: Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

I don’t think he ever really planned on settling down, Megumi figured that he’d die long before he ever got the chance to settle down. Everyday is pretty much a new experience in terms of domesticity for him, he doesn’t have plans for the future, but as long as you’re with him, he’ll be happy.

E: Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

If he ever had to break up with someone, he’d probably ask for help on how to do so. The first person he’d ask (regrettably) would be Gojo who’d tell Megumi to just ghost the person. After asking around some more, he figured Kugisaki’s approach of getting it over with as bluntly as possible (although less mean) was the best option.

F: Fiance(e) (How would they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Megumi isn’t really the type for wedding ceremonies. He’s all about commitment (even though working up to marriage for him is longer than most) but he’s not a fan of being the center of attention, so a wedding ceremony/reception wouldn’t be his thing. If you wanted a ceremony, he’d be willing to compromise somewhat but otherwise, he’s perfectly fine with just going to the courthouse.

G: Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

He’s kind of rough around the edges. In private, he can be the sweetest, most tender soul, but in public he’ll put 7 yards of distance between you both if you try to hug him. Basically, he’s very shy, so anything that’ll draw too much attention is a no go (he isn’t opposed to linking pinkies though).

H: Hugs( Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?

At first Megumi really only hugged you when he was missing you, sad, or tired. Over time though, he got better at becoming more open with his affection and he’ll hug you whenever he feels the urge to. Despite that though, his hugs still have an undercurrent of desperation in them. He holds on just as tight each time like he’s afraid you’ll disappear.

I: I love you (How fast do they say the L-word)

He’s operating on a very strict ‘If you don’t say it, I won’t’ policy and as such this man will not say a single thing to you unless prompted. He knows deep down that he loves you and that you set off butterflies in his stomach every time you smile, but he never really thought to verbalize that until you say ‘I love you’ first.

J: Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous)

Megumi doesn’t get jealous, he’s fought side by side with you and he knows you’re more than capable of fending off any unwanted suitors. Megumi put a lot of trust into you by already being in a relationship so to him, it makes no sense to be jealous over you. That all being said, he’s not above the occasional side eye if someone’s getting a little too buddy buddy.

K: Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

On a normal day, his kisses are so natural, he’s so slow and the pressure is just enough to have you thinking you’ve got all the time in the world. In near death/ post-near death circumstances, he’s a little more feral. When he kisses you like that, it feels like it’s the end of the world and he’s trying to make the most of it.

L: Little ones (How are they around children)

Fushiguro isn’t good with kids that aren’t old enough to communicate. Older kids are fine with him, but guessing what a baby needs based on how loud it’s crying? Hard pass for him and he doesn’t even feel bad about it. The last time he had to watch a baby, he tried to leave one of his shikigami to watch it; long  story short, he had to explain to a cackling Gojo why his demon dogs wouldn’t let him leave to go to the bathroom.

M: Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings with Fushiguro are pretty rare. Most of the time you guys don’t really get to sleep in or even spend mornings together since most of the time there’s missions or trainings you’ll have to go to. When you do get the rare morning off, Fushiguro makes the most of it. He sleeps in and doesn’t wake up before 10 no matter what you try. When he does finally wake up, he loves cooking breakfast with you, he’s not the best cook, but he treasures the experience over anything.

N: Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Nights with Megumi are also rare as most curses come out at night and that’s kinda your guys’ job. If all goes well though, you’ll both come back a little earlier and just go straight to sleep. If it’s a late night where the curse took more out of either of you than expected, yall usually stay up and talk and snack until one of you falls asleep or the sun comes up.

O: Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

It takes him an extremely long time to open up to you about his past. Not because he doesn’t trust you, but because he’s embarrassed and doesn’t want you to think less of him for it (especially during his problem child era). To be honest, you probably find out about certain things from other people. Once he’s cornered confronted, he’ll be completely (albeit a bit grudgingly) honest about it.

P: Patience (How easily angered are they?)

His anger is kind of weird, whereas before, he was a lot quicker to explode, bluntly telling off or even fighting whoever pissed him off, he’s changed. He tries his best to repress his emotions and as such, he comes off as patient, never expressing his true feelings/desires until pushed to the brink. 

Q: Quizzes (How much would they remember about you?  Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

He’s the king of remembering details you mention in passing. His love language is partially acts of service so for him, remembering details about you helps him later. Oh remember that one time you needed a pen/pencil but didn’t have one? Never again, this man has a section of his shadows dedicated solely to pencils because of you. Oh what’s that, you like this random song? Guess what just got added to the playlist he made for you. Basically, while he may not look like it, he’s actually a simp and so if he can make your life easier/ make you happy, it’s worth it.

R: Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

So Megumi is someone who doesn’t play video games but is really good at them for no reason. One day, you’re playing a game of smash bros. and he’s just kicking your ass, like it was sad. Needless to say, after his 4th win, he “accidently” pressed the wrong button and let you win. He thinks you don’t know he did this but when you won, you kissed him and completely flustered him, to the point that he couldn’t play for a solid 5 minutes. 

S: Security (How protective are they? How would they like to be protected?)

Despite knowing and trusting that you can defend yourself, he’s still super protective of you. You’re one of the few people that he cares about in the world and he’d give everything to see you safe and protected. As for how he’d like to be protected, knock some sense into him every once in a while. He has a habit of self sacrificing so if you want to protect him, remind him that you want to keep him alive as much as he wants to keep you alive.

T: Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

On the outside, his dates are very simple. They usually consist of you and him either staying in or just hanging out at stores and the like. Every once in a while, he’ll try to take you somewhere special, like a cove he found or a festival. For most people, these may be simple dates, but Fushiguro puts so much effort into so may aspects of your dates that honestly, anything bigger would lose the personal touch your dates have.

U: Ugly (What are some bad habits of theirs? (I’m gonna add arguments here because they aren’t on the prompt list I found))

One of his worst habits is his self-sacrificing tendencies. Even during a baseball game, he can’t help but sacrifice himself (especially if it means his friends/ you get to get the glory). With time though, he grows out of this and realizes it’s not selfish to want the best for yourself.

V: Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

He’s giving “I woke up like this” and it’s... it’s something. One might think the style is intentional since obviously, the look could only be achieved with gel, and to an extent, it is intentional. He might use gel to spike it a little more but the man legit rolls out of bed and chooses to leave his hair up like that.

W: Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

No, as much as he loves you, Fushiguro is an introvert. He needs time to just be by himself and unwind every once in a while, so he’s got no complaints if you leave him to his own devices or have to be gone for a long time.

X: (E)xes (Any previous relationship experience. How does that factor into your current relationship?)

Megumi has negative zero relationship experience. He’s never found someone that was worth the risk/ worth opening up to, hell, he just barely got friends when he entered high school. Because of this, every part of your relationship is like navigating uncharted waters.

Y: Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner)

He’s less someone to dislike a specific thing/ personality trait, and more someone who doesn’t like different people for different reasons, ex. Todo and Mai. If he had to pick a single trait, it’d probably have to be hypocriticism.

Z: Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

He is someone who will fall asleep spread eagle one night and the next be huddled into a tiny little section of the bed. Mercy on you if you try to cuddle because now you’re wrapped up into his unconscious acrobatic routine.

ALL SHADES OF BLUE

ALL SHADES OF BLUE, Chapter 1. You can find all other IkeSen works of mine here. NOTES: This whole piece was inspired in part by this song by Gregory Alan Isakov. This was a LiveWrite! Thanks to everyone who came out to watch me do this. The tagline really SHOULD be, as @a-shout-to-the-void suggested, something like ‘THE MONK CAN HANDLE THE HEAT, CAN YOU?’, because honestly this turned into a roast within a few paragraphs. Here’s to hoping yall like it!

Summer passed into fall passed into winter passed into spring, and nothing ever changed.

He wondered if he ought to be used to that by now.

It didn’t matter the season he lay his head in. Blistering heat and freezing cold all felt the same: numb. It was as if his skin fused with his exhausted, injured heart and lay dormant in the ground.

Perhaps that was more the thing. There was no season save winter for him now.

He’d grown used to the rough terrain and hard work of being out in the wilderness. Hongan-Ji wasn’t cushy, exactly, but it was certainly more luxurious than what he had for accommodation of late. That was the business of revenge. It robbed him of his friends, his fellow monks, his faith and compassion. A bed felt like the last of his concerns.

Perhaps those needed adjustment anyway.

He barely gave any thought to the woman staggering into the woods that night. As the flames of Honnon-Ji licked the infinite stars and he wondered if that was the end of it, if it lifted to heaven the Devil King’s ashes same as the timbers, his musing was interrupted by the thick crunch of woods. No soldier would be so careless. Even so he dipped back into the dark, his eyes searching for the stranger.

And she was strange indeed.

He’d never seen clothes like that before. Her legs were exposed to the elements. No kimono layered over her shoulders. She clutched a small bag the type of which he’d never seen. Maybe she was Western?

“You should be more careful, young lady,” he recalled warning her. “Demons lurk in the woods at night.”

Little did he know how much those words would come to haunt him.

---

Regardless of who she was, she took up residence with the Devil King himself.

He’d survived. He’d survived, and as much as Kennyo never wanted to drag another civilian into this demonic mess he and his most hated opponent were making, he regretted not killing her in the moment. If he’d found her before--if he’d given his followers orders to eliminate all who might help--if he’d just slaughtered his way through them--

No amount of meditation could still his aching soul. He lay awake at night and stared at the stars, wondering how many lifetimes it would take for him to wash away the karmic sins he pulled on himself. His whole life he’d practiced the power of faith. Now all he had was doubt.

And just as he resigned himself to that infinite winter of his heart, she showed up again.

He sat awake by the fire one night when his followers came to him, dragging a woman behind them. Her arms were bound behind her back, but the gag they’d forced into her mouth did absolutely nothing except prevent her from articulating the worst of her slurs at them. Her eyes flashed like a lightning strike setting the earth ablaze, her rich kimono almost insultingly cute on such a fierce woman.

“Kennyo,” one of the men spoke. She kicked him in the shin and he hissed, dropping to a knee. The other two wrestled her back into compliance.

“Stop.” He rose, frowning at them. “Who is this?”

She threw back her head and glared at him. Her stature was uneven (she’d snapped the geta sandal strap in the assault) and her hair a torrent, but it was a kind of wilderness he admired about her already. But didn’t he know her?

“We found her fleeing Azuchi,” one of the men forced her to her knees. “It seems to be the Devil King’s concubine.”

A barrage of slurs escaped her mouth, filtered only by the thin strip of rope strung between her teeth. Kennyo frowned. Running from Nobunaga? There was the possibility she hated him as much as he did. It hardly made sense that a woman in such a comfortable position might flee from a gracious benefactor. In this time of turbulence, it made sense to remain where you were safe.

And yet…

“Ungag her,” he commanded. The men exchanged glances and obeyed, cutting out the strip of rope. She spat out the stray fibers on her tongue.

“You motherfuckers!”

Kennyo frowned. “Can anyone translate that dialect?”

“Assholes! I swear to GOD, if I get my hands back, you will be catching BOTH OF THEM. Repeatedly!” She wrenched her elbows toward them, fury wild on her tongue. “You won’t know the difference between the sky and the goddamn ground when I’m done!”

“Is that Portuguese?” Kennyo guessed. “It might be Portuguese.”

“She is very pale, I suppose that makes sense. Never met any of the traders. Maybe she came with them?”

“Stop talking about me where I can hear you!” At last, some Japanese. She lunged at him; despite himself, he took two steps back, waiting for the men to hold her back once more. “I can understand you just fine, you ass!”

“So…” He paused, uncertain how to proceed. “Are you Portuguese?”

Her stare was withering.

“No then.” Well this was uncomfortable. “Can I get an assurance that you won’t simply attack my men if we let you loose?”

“No.”

He hesitated. “I would prefer not to keep you bound all night. I’m positive we could find something to talk about.”

“Oh, we could find something to fucking talk about alright--”

Back to the foreign language. He mentally cataloged it as simply ‘Not Portuguese’ and continued. “Set her in the hut until she calms down.”

“Don’t you dare treat me like I’m just some hysterical woman right now--!”

The men hefted her off the ground and half-carried, half-dragged her to the hut. He settled down by the fire once more, prepping some rice porridge. Whenever she was more amenable to talking she would doubtless be hungry.

---

As it happened, more than time was required to make her calm down. The first man to try and deliver her the porridge returned wearing it.

“She said ‘no’.” He huffed, then stomped to the river to wash off. Kennyo sighed and ladled out more for the rest of the encampment. They didn’t have enough to waste. Counting the servings out in his mind, he realized all at once that someone was going hungry.

Well.

This time he went in the hut himself. She was settled angrily in the corner, her mouth one long, thin line, eyes burning a hole through the plank siding. He shut the door behind them, the bowl poised in his hand.

“I need you to promise me you won’t throw this one.”

She just glared at him.

“If it helps, I’ll share it with you so you know it isn’t poison. You must be hungry. You aren’t my enemy.”

“Oh my god,” she muttered. “I’d hate to see how you treat your enemies, then.”

“I apologize on behalf of my men who dragged you here.”

“I don’t want you to apologize for them. I want them to apologize for them.”

That was a whole other conversation. Rather than be sucked down into it, he settled a comfortable distance away. Somehow it reminded him of working with feral cats. If you tried to approach them, they would only claw you until you bled and regretted the whole thing. It took patience, understanding, and not pushing your luck.

“We don’t have much,” he prefaced. “So if you throw this one, there’s nothing else I can give you.”

She stared at the meager bowl and back at him, the calculus running through her mind.

“I ask you not to throw this one.”

“You eat it.” This time she was so much softer. “I’m assuming that is your portion.”

That was unexpected. Kennyo tried to adjust to this unexpected shift. “I’m not all that hungry.”

His growling stomach cut between the two of them.

“No?” And now she was smiling. “Was that just the demons you keep in your stomach for safekeeping?”

It was almost too sharp to be a joke. In spite of himself, Kennyo managed a rueful smile. “They’re the spares I keep when I’m tired.”

“Ooh, backup demons. That’s a good strategy.”

Kennyo offered her a pair of chopsticks. She hesitated a long, long time before taking them. Her fingernails were long and slightly square and jet black, and he wondered how she’d managed that. Had she just dipped them in ink? No. They were too shiny for that.

“Cheers,” he murmured, taking a bite and offering the rest to her.

She frowned and slashed a line through the center of the rice, turning half the bowl to him. He nearly refused, but the narrow slant of her eyes stopped him.

The men weren’t entirely convinced when he exited unscathed that he hadn’t performed

some kind of ritual to secure the demon woman. For his part, he didn’t dispel the idea.

---

On the third day they could finally trust her to walk around unaccompanied, though the others gave her a wide berth. She bound back her sleeves and rolled up her expensive kimono and fixed up her pale hair, exposing a shaved underside and a bevy of metal pieces adorning her ears.

“What?” She snapped at one of the men who stared too long.

“I don’t think they’ve seen a woman with that kind of shaved parting,” Kennyo answered, amused. “It’s been a long time since any of us shaved our heads.”

She shot him a glance that sparkled like the rest of the pieces she wore. “I can’t imagine you without hair anyway.”

He wasn’t certain if that stung or not. Taken aback, he fumbled a simple answer of, “I’m barely used to having hair at all.”

For the first time she was on uneven footing. Her mouth worked--open, close, open--and finally she wrinkled her nose. “I didn’t mean it like that.”

“It’s fine,” he answered, and almost meant it.

---

On the fourth day (and how appropriate was that?), she draped her legs over her knees and said, completely unprompted, “They’re not so bad in Azuchi, you know.”

Kennyo wasn’t sure if this was her idea of a sick joke or a provocation. “And yet you ran.”

She wrinkled her nose at him, and he tried to figure out why she made that face. The only common denominator was discomfort, and that was the only reason his hackles didn’t shoot to the sky. If she wasn’t so comfortable having the conversation, then perhaps she didn’t mean it quite as tastelessly as it sounded.

“Look,” she started. “I didn’t run cause I disliked them. I mean, sure, some of them are assholes, but they weren’t so bad.”

“I don’t know what ‘asshole’ means.”

She paused, her eyes glittering with unspilled laughter, and finally said, “Okay, dicks. They’re dicks.”

“I don’t know what that means either.”

That finally garnered a laugh. “I don’t know how much I should be telling a former monk what that means.”

His curiosity got the best of him and it showed. He’d barely knit his brows together before she was chuckling again, then giggling, and then it turned into laughter.

“Uh, a ‘dick’ is a euphemism for… you know.” She motioned vaguely between his legs.

Kennyo wondered if it was an appropriate response to just go and dunk his head in a bucket of ice water. “Ah.”

“But yeah,” she shot forward as if she hadn’t just waved at his genitals, charging recklessly into the rest of her thought. “I mean, yeah, they could be real pieces of work, but they aren’t bad.”

Sometimes he thought he was almost over the incident. Sometimes he thought the blur of Hongan-Ji was far enough away that he could get distance from it, soften the sharp edges until he could roll it between his fingers like a pebble and just… skip it over the glassy surface of his memory. Tangible, but not harmful. Heavy, but not overwhelming. But even now he could smell the searing flesh, hear the screams and the cracking beams snapping overhead, feel the smoke pressing in his lungs and the dizzy blackness of eternity flickering through him.

“Stop that.” She reached out and grabbed his hand, uncurling his fist. “You’re hurting yourself.”

Was he? He looked down, almost bemused as she poured water over his bleeding hands. “Apologies.”

“No, I--” She stopped, then started again. “Sorry.”

Had she apologized to him? Did his ears deceive him? She pressed on without explanation. “I didn’t run cause they were terrible to me or something. That’s my point.”

“Then why did you?”

“Because…” She paused long enough to shred off a strip of her underkimono, wrapping it tight around his hand. “Because if I started to fit in enough, I might never want to leave.”

Kennyo couldn’t help himself. The laugh bubbled up through his core and sternum, escaping out his mouth before he could check it. She stared, wide-eyed, as he laughed and laughed at her.

“You ran because you were getting along?” Buddha bless this woman. It sounded like something he would do. “Am I understanding that right?”

“It’s not that simple!” She pouted at him. “I don’t exactly have all the time in the world to spend here, you know.”

The not-so-distant possibility that she was someone’s betrothed lanced through him. True. He had no idea who she was, nor where she came from. What village did she call home? She’d never really answered the question about if she was Portuguese (though he had to assume that was a no, but there were surely countries in the West outside Portugal that she might have called home). Maybe some ship waited in a harbor for her. Maybe a pair of arms waited for her. Maybe she even had children.

“How old are you?” He asked.

“Bit forward, isn’t that?”

“Apologies. I don’t know why I asked.”

She fixed him a wry smile. “You first.”

Him? He tried to calculate how many years it had been since Hongan-Ji, finally settling for the answer of, “I think thirty-one.”

“Thirty-one!?”

“Is that so shocking? I’m aware--”

“You need some sleep!” She snapped. “And less stress! Good God! You look like you’re forty!”

“I realize,” he started uncomfortably. “But I’m not so occupied with how I look of late.”

She tilted back her head, still frowning, and reached out and pushed back his hair. He let her, too amused and unclear what she was doing to really fight it. Her hand played over his scalp, arranging the part of his black hair until at last she was satisfied with whatever she was looking for.

“Yeah,” she said at last. “You’d look your age if you just got some sleep. You’re good looking, but Jesus if you don’t need rest.”

Kennyo fumbled through that sentence at half-speed, finally settling on the jumbled question of, “What is Jesus?”

“Oh. Hell. We’re not having that conversation right now.” She wrinkled her nose. “To answer your question, I’m twenty-six.”

It was his turn to laugh. “You tell me to sleep and mock my age, but you’re unwed at twenty-six?”

“Who are you? My mom?” But she was grinning, and she smacked away his hands with a laugh, tossing the length of her long hair as if it might brush away his criticism. “I’ll have you know that I am very eligible.”

“As am I,” he remarked, amused. “Equally so. I’d say an ex-monk is on equal standing with a woman of your temperament.”

“Oh, you’re an asshole right now.”

“I’m afraid I can’t agree with something I don’t understand.” But at least he knew something about her; she wasn’t wed, nor betrothed, not with an answer like that.

“And here I thought you were a gentleman.” She shot him a smile that lanced straight through him. “You were so nice at first.”

“I did tell you demons lurk in the woods at night.”

“You don’t disintegrate come sunrise, so I’d amend that to ‘all the time’, thanks.”

He clutched at his chest as if wounded. “A very fair point.”

She retired to the hut not long after. Much to his infinite discomfort, he missed her when she left.

Of course it couldn’t last.
