When they misunderstand and kiss your cheek - svt 95z

💋Who; Seventeen 95 line (individually) x reader. 💋What; lil fluff reactions. 💋Wordcount; around 1k all together 💋Warning; Profanity. Kind of suggestive in places.

Read the other versions here; 96z - 97z - Maknae3

-2024 Masterlist - A/N-I don't even know where this idea came from, it just popped into my head. I got carried away so I had to split it up and shall upload the other members' parts when I finish them. If you have ideas about the other members then feel free to send them in, it could help with any I get stuck on 💖

💋Seungcheol💋 It's a hot day and for some reason, that apparently means Seungcheol wants to go to the store and get ice cream as if he didn't drag you out for the same reason yesterday. "I told you to buy some for your freezer yesterday!" You whine where you're slumped on the couch at his side with no will to move yet knowing you will because you're utterly whipped for Choi Seungcheol. "Shut up and get ready." He pats your knee, exposed due to your shorts, smearing something on you as he does. It grosses you out until you realise it's some of the sunscreen he's diligently applying to his face. So you sit up and rub in the remnants, then the extra he squirts on your skin assuming you had not applied any already. He's right. Seungcheol finishes first and just holds the bottle open ready to give you more as he tries to not stare at the way your hands glide over your legs for the sake of his sanity. He's already hot enough thank you. When you notice him just sitting there, you lift one hand to tap your cheek, implying that you want him to start working on putting the protective liquid on your face. Instead, he dumbly leans over and plants a kiss there, shocking you still. It isn't until he leans back and takes in your bewildered expression darting between his face and the bottle in his hands that he realises his mistake. "Uh, shit, sorry, I didn't think." "Makes it sound like kissing me is your automatic reaction." "Don't be a brat or you can buy your own ice cream." "Ha, yeah right, you always buy me everything." "I spoil you too much, dug my own grave there." He starts to apply the sunscreen to your face to distract you both from his embarrassing mistake. "You know, for the record, I didn't mind it." "You didn't?" He looks at you and you shake your head a little, cheeks slightly pink as you focus on your legs despite the fact all of the liquid was long ago absorbed. "So can I do it again? But maybe somewhere else this time?" "Pervert." "Complete brat, honestly." "You clearly like it, you want to kiss me so bad." "Yeah, I do. So?" "Do it." So he does and you get carried away enough that by the time you make it out of his apartment, the store is already closed.

💋Jeonghan💋 Everyone knows that Jeonghan loves Legos, a fact that means that pretty much every gift he received for his last birthday and Christmas were Lego sets. It's been months yet he still hasn't even managed to open most of them due to his busy schedule so he recruited you to be his assistant. It's mostly just a ploy to spend more time alone with you but he also does know you're probably one of the only people he knows who enjoys the building process as much as he does. "Ooh, making good progress." He comments after glancing over to see that you are pretty much breezing through the castle as he works on the ferris wheel. His words make you look up with a hum to look at his own progress. You give a thumbs up and look up at his face, he's already looking at you in that happy soft way he does when you two are spending quality time together like this. But you barely notice it, eyes instead landing on the smudge of something on his cheek. You lean a little closer and realise it's powder from the snacks he had earlier been eating. You tap your own cheek in the mirror position, silently telling him about the mark which isn't even an unusual action for you two but for some reason, on this day, Jeonghan doesn't take it as a sign to wipe his cheek but instead lean over, placing one hand on the carpet between you to press his lips gently to your skin. He quickly realises his mistake but in true Jeonghan fashion, he plays it off with a smug little smirk as he settles back into his place and gets back to his task. Not willing to let Jeonghan win this, you lean over and grab him by his collar to pull him closer, causing his eyes to blow wide. You wipe at his cheek before kissing it and then all but shoving him back into place. Neither of you says a word as you get back to your builds, both too flustered to remember how to work your mouths in a way that doesn't involve pursing lips.

💋Joshua💋 Lately, Joshua has been really into baking. At any random time, you can get a message from him requesting your help baking a cake or pie or some other kind of sweet treat. And if you don't respond to him fast enough, he takes it upon himself to turn up at your apartment laden with supplies and takes over your kitchen so that you have no choice but to help him bake. The latter is what has happened today; Joshua turned up a few hours ago declaring that you two are going to make "the best fucking chocolate to have existed. Think that Matilda cake but sexier" and who are you to argue with the sweet buff devil of a man. "Okay, I've got to admit, you were weirdly right about it being sexier," You mutter as you carefully pipe chocolate swirls onto the cake. Or attempts at swirls, neither of you is very good at the decor aspect of baking yet. "Told you!" He grins smugly and looks at you before laughing. "What?" "You've got icing on your cheek." "Get it then," He shows you his hands, already smeared with icing. "You've got a mouth, haven't you-" before you can finish and tell him to lick the icing from his hands, his lips are against your skin. "That didn't work." He mutters, leaning back and licking the smear of chocolate from his lips while keeping his gaze on your cheek. He leans in again and again and again, dragging his lips over that same patch of skin enough that he really should've been done long ago. "There." He finally leans back with a satisfied little smirk. "All clean now." And then he lifts his hands to lick the icing from them like you had tried to tell him to in the first place. You can't really focus after that and the smug bastard knows it.

Oh my god, asks are open! Hey how are you?? And what are your favourite König AUs' counterparts??

Asks are still closed, actually, I just used the opportunity to promote my Instagram. But...for my top Konig AUs, I have these ones! 1) Mafia Konig. Oh how I love this man. I honestly don't know much about Austrian criminal life, but I just know that this man is the perfect jaded ex-soldier who came out of service, saw how the system treats its veterans, and decided to seize power for himself. He is cool, strong - his awkwardness and inability to socialize casually is almost going unnoticed as he seeks retired soldiers to make up his crime group, getting control over drug and weapons market. With his connections in all of Central Europe and slowly creeping onto the Eastern part and illegal gun and oil deals, the only thing he is lacking is a pretty girl on his lap, making him feel good. He doesn't like escorts, often leaving bad taste in his mouth - but he sees you, a pretty girl working in a cafe that he owns, in a flower shop that is just a front for his business, in some shabby tourist establishment made to get tourists on cheaply produced drugs...you're innocent, you have no idea about the dangers around you - but don't worry, he is cynical for both of you. 2) Loser!Konig Seeing this big guy with a big title and money and even a house being a complete loser for you is...something. He is dangerous, of course, always getting borderline or straight-up obsessive, so down and for you it's horrible - but the again, he is the only guy to ever love you like this...so, why not give him a chance? Yes, he will hunt you down and out you on his basement by the end of the week because he has no idea what the hell courting is but, then again, he would also give you some interesting lecture about lego and war history.

3) Monster!Konig Obviously, having this giant eldritch horror dude so down bad for you is exciting to write! This version of Konig is mainly a tsundere type, he is acting cold because monsters value power and he doesn't want to seem too soft with his little pet wife - but don't worry, he is soft and warm behind the closed doors, always allowing you to have something nice for yourself. This version of him tights with oviposition, obviously. He is using your fertile, lush body to carry his eggs - so be prepared for all the exciting thing about pregnancy, but over and over again, with Konig cooing over you as he finally mates you for hours on end... 4) Dilf!Konig This bastard uses his kid to maintain contact with you, and he is not even ashamed! It's honestly horrible( he doesn't like to talk to his kid, so he took you in as either willing or a kidnapped nanny, and then proceeded to breed another child into you just because this guy has a major breeding kink, but can't take care of children( He will pay for everything, at least, even hiring some help to make everything a bit easier for you - but god, he starts to like his kids only when you're playing with them...

Can you imagine the monkey King's wife being exactly like chi chi from dragon ball 😂.

A monkey version of her

They are very scared of her, and she's the only person the monkey King is intimidated by.

I blame the Lego monkie kid voice actor 😅

OH MY GOD!!! THAT IS BOTH AMAZING AND TERRIFYING I LOVE IT!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩

That's the weapon you have Below👇👇👇

(Lmk Wukong) Ohhhhhhhhhh he pisses you off every second of everything day, and it's scares him hell even Macaque is scared of you. It's bad enough that he tends to be irresponsible and Take everything even more difficult with his poor communication skills. Then if it were to cause problems for poor Mk, then that's where you draw the line, and with every life threatening event that is centered around your husband and son. Well both Mk and Wukong Would be actively running from you by the end of it🤣

(MKR Wukong) Man he would take the monk's anger over your anger any time That's how scared he is of you. You know his sh*tty attitude and personality and his habit of having bouts of violence but you. Oh no he would do whatever it takes to stay away from that territory of upsetting you, but if it happens anyway he would get his act together immediately. The pilgrims always gets baffled by his submission and Fruity would say that mama is scary.

(HIB Wukong) Well now at least he knows the Do's and don't's parts of your marriage, considering the results and Consequences. But unfortunately he has to come back home to you after 500 years and he'll have to make up an explanation for his absence. Even worse when you told him time and time again not to go and attack heaven On the count of that is not the best idea to handle the war. Wukong had stupidly disregarded your words and now he has to come home to you, he was right to be worried because you tore him a new one because he Deliberately Disregarded your objections as your environment shook and crack from your yells. the only reason you stop was because he came home with a little boy and baby girl.

(NR Wukong) Li and Su had dumbfounded looks on both of their faces. In the living room was Wukong cowering behind the couch as a female monkey also with a metal mask was screaming profanities at him. The was the day they met you Y/n L/N Wukong his wife, but boi were you quite Intimidating to them. Thankfully they quickly learn how sweet and kind you actually are and the two even fell in love with your godly cooking. You quickly explained that Wukong had fail to tell you that Nezha was recarnated as you stuff Li with food because That's where you always did 3000 years ago.

(Netflix Wukong) Man you used were so little, quiet and cute🥰 when you a cub now your tall, loud, and scary😨 and married to him. You are the more responsible and grounded of the marriage but his reckless behavior makes you both worried and angry. You usually wack him with stick because of his condescending attitude and he should know not to talk to you like that. Then the last straw was when he got to his head in his kaiju form and Lin had to get you and well.....you can imagine how shocking it is to see a giant male monkey to wimper as a tiny female monkey yells at him.🤭🤭🤭

(BMW Wukong) GOLLY!!! you were always the wrong one to mess with 😰. For him pissing off heaven will always be less terrifying than pissing you off😬. Especially when your as powerful as he is, and would have that large club bat you dubbed as Excaliborg That you would occasionally beat his ass with. Unlike Erlang whom he's more then happy to taunt and mess with he knows better then to do the same to you unless he wants to be an must be classified smeer on the ground😬🥶.

(Destined one) He wouldn't get on your nerves in the slightest, mainly because that's a terrible idea but he's a sweet mildly Obedient man to you. You get worried about him alot because he's so selectively mute, so you made sure to engage him in conversations. The one thing you do love is how much he loves your cooking 🍳 and you are more then happy to make large batches for him to eat. He's a good Quiet husband to you and that's good enough for you.

FEEL FREE TO REBLOG😈🍳

Hi! Just wanted to ask if you knew, but...do you know that Nezha in eternally a kid? Like- not trying to hate or anything! I'm just finding it strange how you depict Nezha with a 'toy' brand as well as romancing him. Again, no hate! Just trying to understand!

I already talked about this entire thing in October due to 3 Anons getting upset over Nezha and the branding as well. [My response in question.]

I'm fully aware he's said to be a kid in religion and all that, but the fact that AUs are literally there to alter things and change up stories in fiction is also a point that has to be considered. Because I've seen people get upset over others using an adult version of Nezha in fanfics and fanart for a long while, but the people saying those things also change things regarding characters for their own AU's content and amusement. So there's a lot of hypocrisy surrounding what all I've read recently, and not just about the Nezha drama.

Even though they know LMK is nothing but a fictional parody show to sell literal Legos as merchandise. Like, it's not supposed to represent the entirety of a religion's belief.

The writers may draw inspiration and characters from the source, yes, but it's still at its core an entirely different story with the way things have been altered. And I'm not even taking my own info from JTTW or anything from centuries ago.

Like- I'm literally just taking the Lego pieces I've seen and have actual interest in doing content of due to my hyperfixation. And I know for a fact many people feel the same. They don't want to sexualize a kid. But much like Sun Wukong, they do tend to want to sexualize the idea of having a partner who has some form of power they themselves don't have. They're not even attracted to a kid, they're attracted to a Lego man on wheels. They're just trying to have their own fun without being unnecessarily judged by others for liking something that's even just remotely seen as bad, despite it all being kept in fiction.

[I even made a bit of a summary of what the AU is for.]

And despite that I still see people saying it's disgusting and all that while also spreading misinformation based on assumptions, just because it's not catering to their own likes. Behind my back as well. Like I wouldn't have even known about this if one Anon wasn't so nice and gently nudged me into the idea of checking out one blog again.

The fact that these rants keep talking about my age, only to then write behind my back like kids instead of talking to me directly to clear up any confusion, is also just straight up rude.

I actually did write up an entire response to the rant from one blog to point out how they literally made up things based on assumptions. But then the second rant dropped, now for some reason also talking about the Nezha drama as well as my persona, who has only been in literally three doodles of the AU instead of a blank Y/N figurine. Even though I've clearly talked about my standings on both cases and even have the Master System in the pinned main masterlist. So I'm still working on doing a response, trying to avoid having to do two separate ones about the same points.

Can you do 8, 10, and 12 for the character ask game? For Jason Todd (again, because I love him)?

Although if you want more Cal Kestis questions, (I admit I don’t know much about Star Wars video games beyond lego star wars the quest for r2d2), I would kinda like to know 2 and 3 for him.

Love your work!

💜

🩷❤️

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

What a loaded question. Ngl I like most of what the fandom does when it comes to Jason quite a lot. I don't think there's anything I outright despise, yanno? I use the back button liberally if it's something that just isn't vibing with me..... I've seriously been staring at this question for a full three minutes trying to think of something but I can't even though I'm sure there is something lmao. Sorry

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

Lmao absolutely not. I love Jason but nope, not at all. View points are completely incompatible. Interests are completely incompatible. We don't even like the same books.

12. What's a headcanon up have for this character?

1) Fangs (fangies post at 10,805 notes y'all)

2) heterochromia of all different flavors. I don't have a consistent preference from fic to fic. Some heterochromia set ups I've completely made up (like bad news where I gave him 3 eye colors) and others are just rare but existing versions

3) that man is ace af I don't know what to tell you

For Cal

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Joking but still true answer - his freckles.

Real answer - his psychometry. It's probably one of my favorite gameplay-story integrations. It's such a great way to tell the story. I also like that even though we hear (or see) the echo, Cal gets much much more out of them and tells BD-1 so we know. We hear some dialogue and sound effects sure, but Cal knows names and stories and feelings and reasons. I like that the player doesn't get everything Cal seemingly does. It adds a flavor that I really like. - that was more about the game than the character but I still really like psychometry in general.

Second real answer: he gives everyone a second chance. A chance to stop fighting, to lay down their weapon and walk away.

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character.

Every time I try to come up with an answer I end up talking about game mechanics and such instead of Cal specifically 😅

Thanks for the asks! Have an apple! 🍎🍏

Thoughts on Batman by Jewishness?

This one's harder mostly because Batman has had like a million fucking movies and shows and I have not seen even close to all of them - I didn't even find him that compelling as a character until I got into his children. Also we're defining Batman as Bruce Wayne because obviously Dick Grayson isn't Jewish and I don't know anything about Terry McGinnis and evil future Batman!Tim Drake might be Jewish but he's essentially a recurring what if character. Ok here we go

In last place we have Batfleck. Even if Ben Affleck had any interest in portraying Bruce Wayne jewishally, he sucked and I hate him in the role, so I'm giving him a -5/10 just for being in bad movies. Fuck you pick better scripts

After that we have the Dark Knight Trilogy Batman. Extremely well made and enjoyable movies. Not much like comic Batman imo. 1/10

Next we have Battinson. I actually don't mind this movie! I don't like it nearly as much as it seemed everybody else had, and I really wish we could get a Batman movie that acknowledges he has a fucking family in the year of our lord 5783, but it's still a good movie. However, no indication that Bruce is Jewish. I do however think this Bruce is way funnier, so extra points for making me laugh out loud in the theater repeatedly. 3/10

Up next is Lego Batman from the Lego Batman movie. I don't know he just gives me good vibes. He's got a Robin, which automatically puts him closer to comic canon than any other filmic version of Batman, making him Jewish by association. 5/10 I guess

I only watched one season of Gotham but hey, it was a pretty good season before I realized what I really wanted to be watching was Smallville, which I then proceeded to watch all ten seasons of over the course of four weeks (I was in, how you say, a depression). I probably would've watched more (see: in a depression), but there was only one season in existence at the time. It seemed fine to me, although I know a lot more about Batman now than I did then, but it seemed decently connected to the spirit of the comics. Bonus points for David Mazouz being a Jewish actor - the only Jewish actor on this list fyi - but at least in the one season I watched, he was not confirmed Jewish, so let's say a 7/10 (is this technically even a Batman? I have no idea what happens in the later seasons)

Finally we have our main continuity comic book Batman, the only (afaik) canonically Jewish Batman on this list! Batman was made Jewish by association when his maternal cousin, Kate Kane aka Batwoman, was created as an explicitly Jewish character. Sidenote, she's a great character and I adore her. But yeah although he is essentially canonically Jewish it's never actually addressed within his stories - he's only ever spoken about his father being Christian and him not following in his footsteps, as far as I know. I give it a 9/10, losing a point for only being Jewish on a technicality. DC, like Marvel, are also cowards

Honorable mention to any animated movie based directly on a comic such as the Under the Red Hood movie being Jewish by association as well. Let's give that archetype of Bruce a 7.5/10

[sketching-shark]

Ngl sometimes i feel bad abt disliking LMK so much because some of my friends like it alot and one of them hyperfixates on it. But then i remember just how badly it fucked up in depicting Sun Wukong's character that im pretty sure even villainous portrayals of him in media have given him more dignity, how Six ears basically got woobified and Karma Houdinied despite the show itself showing him as a pretty fucked up villain in S1, how much the Eng Dub butchered the hell out of the Bull Demon Family's dynamic and that this show basically removed one of the core aspects of the story (Buddhism) and then i suddenly dont feel that bad anymore.

Plus its not like they know my actual opinions abt it. As long as they dont ask i think im good lol

Monkie Kid spoilers & complaining & likely exaggerating things below so avert thine eyes if you don't want to see all that

gterewfs not to add even more to the apparently intolerable trend of bringing up Xiyouji when talking about Monkie Kid but it is kind of funny how I've now seen multiple people say a lot of their dislike of the lego show comes from knowing how Sun Wukong can be depicted when he's not being written as a cringefail hermit (X_X). And as is @seasonalsummers if pressed you can probably just tell your friends that Monkie Kid just isn't your thing & leave it at that. Because yeah I've spoken before how it's not fair to expect people to make their way through the ~1,400 pages of the best English translation of the og classic in developing their sense of the journey and Sun Wukong's whole deal, and the vast diversity of depictions of the Monkey King in retellings does seem to stand testament to how much this monkey can be changed to suit the needs of a story. And as is the existence of Zaju Xiyou Ji does demonstrate how even in China this monkey's had bouts of being depicted as little more than a selfish clown, so maybe this is just the west's version of that lol.

THAT SAID, aaaaaAAAAAAA yeah genuinely is baffling and frustrating watching many people cheer and clap for what feels like the constant traumatization of Qi Xiaotian and the constant use of Sun Wukong as Monkie Kid's punching bag. Like heavens to betsy Flying Bark has so relentlessly focused on how thoroughly SWK screws up everything in both the past and the present and apparently, on his own admission, spent the entirely of his immortality doing little except making one mistake after another (i.e. routinely fucking up his life and the lives of everyone around him) that one really is left wondering why any of the show's cast would want to be even within 50 miles distance of this monkey, which is definitely something made all the more awesome by the sense that maybe the main reason is because the obvious villains of every season are explicitly trying to take over/ blow up the entire world rather than blundering their way into that position :(. And that's a dynamic definitely made even MORE awesome by everyone's favorite poor little meow meow never did anything wrong ever the Six-Eared Macaque spending the majority of his screen time both beating the tar out of Qi Xiaotian and telling anyone who will listen what a dumb bitch Sun Wukong is before the show then bends over backwards to validate his claims all while making sure he's never even slightly called out for the shit he pulls, with the clear favoritism made all the more clearer by such facts as Sun Wukong got screamed at by Long Xiaojiao in an extensive and dramatic scene for putting basically the monkie gang and the entirety of reality in danger through his doofus decisions and yet even though she literally watched the shadow simian beat Qi Xiaotian into unconsciousness and literally had her life seriously threatened by this same monkey until Tang Shifu started oh yeah the Fire of Samadhi ritual she's apparently perfectly fine with working with Mr. Six not long after. Add on top of that the way it now feels like SWK's not even really allowed to be friends with anyone except Macaque or even to interact with any of his other former besties in any meaningful way, and well this is really making for a not fun situation that keeps steering the plot away from some of the most interesting fun and heartfelt things that Monkie Kid could have done. And then on top of that Flying Bark has now shown themselves to have this habit of spending the majority of each season focusing on what a screw-up SWK is before waiting until the last possible episode before characters who up to that point couldn't have made their hatred for the Monkey King and Qi Xiaotian by extension more clear start pulling out abrupt and honestly hand-wavey reasons for why they suddenly like him. IDK! I like a good redemption arc but that's not something you can speedrun and then pretend like it's even remotely satisfying! And definitely doesn't do SWK any favors with the way he just stands there maybe looking kind of sad while someone yells at him for sucking entire before he runs off to suck at everything again and is barely ever allowed to be explicitly and messily upset about that or about what a colossal failure his life is or idk mayhaps what happened to the og pilgrims that apparently resulted in their premature deaths!! For as much as people keep saying they want characters to redeem themselves through living and working to be better and be upset and fucked up about their pasts well it sure might be nice in this situation if we actually got to spend some time on that instead of just relentlessly piling one catastrophic blunder on top of the other! tsetawraer sorry for the rant but yeah still pretty shocked on how much a silly lego show that started off as having fun adventures with the Monkey King would turn into the grimdark adventures of Young Man Traumatized, Asshole Goku, and the Stalker Shadow (X_X)

[fractualized]

what's your favorite form of batman? meaning, do you prefer the comics, the movies, etc? i'm really curious to know if you like any of the cheesy stuff, like batman and robin... famous nipple costumes... or if you like more of the serious stuff, like the original source material... i know you really like comics but when it comes to the ideal flavor of batman, what kind of story do you most enjoy?

For my favorite, I always go with Batman: the Animated Series, which feels inevitable for anyone who grew up watching it as appointment TV with obligatory commercials, but I've never done a poll. lol Even watching it now and noting its imperfections, it's the gold standard for me. The art deco aesthetic, the storytelling, the characterizations, you can really see how much care went into it and the respect for the lore. Not that I knew much more than the lore basics at that age— but I didn't need to, because it was a well-done show that drew me in on its own. And in terms of serious vs cheesy, it had a good balance.

And really that's my preference! I don't need Batman to be dark and dour all the time, but I also don't want it to be nothing but goofs. I like a story that has stakes and knows when to be serious and also knows when to lighten up. Bruce's costume shouldn't be the only signal of how he was affected by his trauma, but when his behavior turns shitty, it shouldn't amount to him just being a rageaholic. Joker should be a dangerous villain but he should perform and make jokes because he's a friggin' clown, like come on.

Not that I'm against takes that lean harder on comedy. Er, nowadays. Back in the day, I thought going too funny with Batman just didn't fit, and it should be avoided unless it was parody or fanfic. So I enjoyed Batman Forever, but Batman & Robin veered too campy for me, and I wasn't interested in the '66 series. I guess eventually I got a better sense of humor, or maybe it was batmedia as a whole seeming to get too gritty after the Nolan movies, but now I'm all for being silly with it. You can't ignore that you're watching a bat fight a clown forever.

Though I still want a comedic version to be, like, good. I've seen many episodes of Batman '66 now and I think they're great. Hopefully one day I can get around to watching the whole thing. I saw Lego Batman in the theater and was thrilled.

Batman & Robin… I still think is bad. Less because of the camp and more because of the plot and the takes on the characters. Another example is the Harley Quinn animated series. I enjoyed much of it for the first three seasons, but ultimately I had to stop watching because the serious/comedy balance was off for me. Too often it had these serious moments that would affect character growth, and then it would throw them away for a sake of a joke later on rather than… just making a different joke that fits with your plot, I dunno.

It feels hard to say that I "like comics" since they're such a mixed bag by the nature of an 80-year-old franchise. I am certainly not having much of a good time right now. 😂 And as a consequence of Batman being represented so many ways over the decades, if I said I prefer the comics over other iterations, would that really mean anything? … Well, I guess by saying that, it could mean appreciating the fact that there's been so many takes over the years and that the medium allows that flexibility, that it is like fanfic (or exactly fanfic) and lets someone new come in and say, "But what if it happened like this?" That is a conflict I've felt when enjoying and not enjoying comics. It allows for change… but that can lead to a frustrating lack of continuity, change that comes not from where you understood the character to be from previous runs but almost from wholecloth. Which is all to say, my appreciation for comic Batman is in constant flux.

I can't close out without mentioning Telltale Batman, of course. Enemy Within is the game that brought me back into fandom and writing. A fresh new universe with a lot of room for reinterpretation, not as weighed down by the source material as the comics. (And a heartbreaking batjokes relationship that I still haven't gotten over.) Obviously with the choice system, the tenor depends on how you play, but once again it's a story with stakes that takes the time to add some silliness, so it works for me! (And I let BTAS Bruce guide my primary playthroughs. Except for my first go at the end of Enemy Within. I know Bruce would let Alfred leave but I couldn't do it gaaaahhhhhhh)

[burgycreeper405-blog]

another long messy rant talk cuz I'm still angery

y'know what's funny

the way some people are calling me out on twitter is 'bcuz i ship Rexmet and Microknife'

their reason? stupid chet like "they're siblings" or "it's selfcest(for rexmet)" or sumchet like that

but when you think about it, it's stupid, cuz like,

(excuse for my messy explanation)

1.)

Rex and Emmet aren't really brothers, they're more like an AU character, (which is Rex or if you really think about it, it's tlm2 Emmet who's the AU one cuz like, Rex is the Emmet in the 1st movie and he went back in time to change the timeline lol), interacted with the canon character so they're like, AU x canon or AU x AU but they canonically interacted lol

even if i also see them as brothers, i know that they're not really brothers at the end of the day, they're just past version and future version interacted

same with Mic and Knife,

they be headcanoning that those two are siblings and/or even related by blood when they're no where near being related to each other,,

no, VA does not equal to the character they're voicing

cuz the va of knife and mic are siblings, (including soap and salt & pepper (if you don't know, they're 4 siblings, yes, i did research aka read the credits and ii characters wiki and chet)

(VA ≠ character),

just cuz they're both gray colors? and metal?? then why not add nickel to that sibling hc then and not ship them with knife, bet you won't

and then they get mad at someone who doesn't see them as siblings when it's not even canon that they're siblings, it's all just headcanons

AND they didn't even make sure if Justin (the VA of Knife and co director of II) is still okay with it or not,

a friend of mine has to ask them about it and guess what, this is gonna be mind blowing to y'all,

he doesn't even mind it anymore

2.)

I have been saying this ever since i started watching/drawing the Lego movie, I'm neutral with any ship

I'm fine with Rex x Emmet

im neutral with it

(i both ship them and see them as siblings but not at the same friking time obviously, sheesh)

cuz like, i have most of my AUs with them as brothers lol

i honestly mostly ship them cuz its funny and chet,

3.)

theyre not even canonically siblings like they make out to be, it's all just hcs and chet

4.)

(this one is mostly aiming at the osc twitter but some of the tlm fandom as well)

they be saying that Rexmet is bad cuz Rex manipulated Emmet, like T4€0m!€ isn't like that but more worse

wanna know didly darn why?

well, first off, it’s just so weird how theyre fine with T4€0m!€ but not Taco x Pickle or Rexmet lol

and T4€0m!€ is much more worse than those two cuz like, if you've watched ii, we have seen how Mic is so hurt, like bro, did we watch the same thing or nah? cuz like, most of yall osc just not acknowledge that, like, y'all don't like Pickle x Taco but you like Taco x Mic????

with Rex and Emmet, Emmet wants Rex to be happy and chet at the end,

Pickle and Taco, eh, but he kinds misses her, but mostly just s1/“before her real self reveal” her so yeah,

T4€0m!€ is mmm, kinda troubling cuz like Mic doesnt want anything to do with Taco, yet the osc just puts that info away in the trash

and its the fact that Taco just uses her to get the money,

Rex wants Emmet to not want what happened to him or something,

big difference there

Rex wants to help Emmet

Taco wants to help herself

Taco manipulated Mic for her own selfish deeds (aka "helping her to win the competition to get the money for herself") and Taco knows that,

Rex manipulated Emmet to not get him hurt (but backfired cuz what he's doing also hurts Emmet but he doesn't realized that until the end, what 5 years of being alone does to ya lol),,

well, both backfired

but atleast Emmet wants to help Rex get a second chance if it werent for back to the futuring,

Mic just wants Taco to not be in her life anymore

yet the osc on twitter be like "aww these two are so cute together",

like Mic didn't say "I thought I gained a friend, turns out, I gained nothing"

like that isn't clear enough that Mic doesn't want anything to do with Taco after that

5.)

"it's selfcest" (for rexmet)

yeah, so you must've hate au character x au character then, AND you must've hate yourself then, let me say this to you

shut up, you're just projecting

i have more words to say for this but that reason for why rex and emmet is bad is just so stupid that my brain just doesn't want to,,

selfcest ≠ incest

6.)

they're just Lego Minifigures and a knife and a microphone,

y'all fr acting like it's gonna be the end of the world or something if we ship them,

they're all canonically adults, not related to each other (rex and emmet are basically like, clones or like, au x canon or au x au or somethin like that) and they're not even problematic as they say they are

aight, that's the end of my rant,

there may be more in the future but yeah, I am in my hater arc/hj

[error-pleaseleaveamessage-error]

Guess who's becoming obsessed with lego bricks. Yes, it's me, you are correct. Now here are some Lego Movie tickle headcanons because I've personally found none. (This is mostly Emmet and Rex with some Lucy sprinkled in there.)

Of course, in the beginning with Emmet. I firmly believe Emmet is very happy and open about tickling because it's a great way to bond with his friends!

(He's never really had any, none that are this close to him.)

I think affection is difficult for him. Not so much because he's afraid of what others think, but because he doesn't know how to engage it. That's why tickling is more natural!

What comes after is especially great, because he'll gladly take some cuddles after everything he's been through. Stopping and reforming President Business? Dealing with a time-traveling hard-shell future version of himself combined with miscommunication from an entire planet? Being so giggly that he can't open his eyes anymore? He'll take a nap with extra pillows.

What's not to love about being a giggly mess? Emmet loves laughter, it's a telltale sign that everyone is having a good time!

I strongly believe that, when Emmet is being tickled, he'll compliment his tickler.

"Thahat spot reheally ticklehes!!" He will point out the obvious, he can't help it!

He's not a very hysterical laugher, he gets very loud but he's still coherent through it all. Even if he's got little mirth tears and a dazed look, he's as happy as can be.

"That was so much fun!" He will ask to be tickled again if it stops too soon.

Though, he's all about giving too! He enjoys tickles and wants his friends to be happy too.

As a ler, he's so sweet. He will use compliments more often than not, and he's known for gentle tickles - which can be equally as ticklish as fast ones, and very flustering for whoever his victim is.

He will point out everything, even if he doesn't mean to be teasy.

"Hey, don't cover your face!"

"Awww, I think I see a smile!!"

He's also ticklish just about anywhere, but I'd vote anywhere on his torso is especially sensitive. Specifically his sides!

Now... while Emmet is carefree, Rex is more on the defensive side.

(Also, in a universe where Rex gets redeemed and is very much alive as well as staying in Emmet's timeline.)

Rex will deny being ticklish. He claims its childish and he gave that up a long time ago.

Emmet doesn't believe him, and gives him pokes more often than not.

The sibling energy between Rex and Emmet is off the charts with tickles.

Emmet unlocks a more teasy, sneaky side of himself whenever he tickles Rex.

Rex is a fighter, he will not feel bad if he kicks somebody while trying to escape.

Ironically, Rex is more ticklish on his lower half rather than his torso. But I believe his neck, and ears if we go a more human route, is very susceptible to tickles.

Rex is touch-starved. He was touch-starved already when he was known as Emmet, but being isolated for who knows how long really messed with him.

Emmet, knowing a little too well what it's like to be alienated, helps whenever he can. Such as leaning against Rex, poking him, side hugs - and sometimes gently socking him in the shoulder.

Rex has no problem pulling people into a headlock, ruffling their hair. He'll lean against people but more in a, you-are-my-new-personal-head-rest way. He started punching Emmet in the shoulder first, and like the bad influence he is, Emmet started doing it back probably even more affectionately.

Rex gets very strong tendencies to destroy things. It's as easy as breathing, far more natural than building. That's where stimming comes in, he already stimmed before the whole time-traveling thing. It turns out, tickling someone is a great way to stim...

Emmet is the easiest target, a willing target if anything. Which Rex once upon a time did understand, but refuses to acknowledge.

Rex appreciates doing the tickling rather than being on the receiving end. It's hard to get him laughing anyways.

But when he laughs, boy, does he laugh.

It's loud and chaotic and hearty. He actually has a ha-ha-ha laugh. It's as deep as his voice.

He does have a giggle spot but he will guard it will his life. It makes him sound like Emmet too which is even more bewildering.

When he's being tickled, he can block it out. Sorta. But keep it up, keep him guessing, he'll break in no time. He tries to hold it in, and it's wonderful to watch red blush bloom across his face and his whole cheeks puff up. And then woosh, the laughter pops out and he can't stop.

He cannot admit to enjoying it. He cannot and will not.

Emmet apparently has made it a mission to get Rex to admit it. Because Emmet knows Rex used to love it just as he does, so he knows what buttons to push. He can guess what compliments get him more than others.

Rex's revenge is a million times worse. He will seriously wreck anyone who dares to even try to tickle him.

He won't stop until the victim begs for mercy, and even then he only stops when he truly believes they're sorry.

"Oh? What's that? I can't hear you over all that laughter!"

"You really do snort a lot."

"Oh, this spot must really tickle."

He's got these grins that make you wanna giggle on the spot.

Speaking of killer, Wyldstyle - or who I'll refer to as Lucy - will utterly annihilate you.

Rex will not go anywhere near her. For this reason, and because he's awkward around her. It's Lucy, after all.

Lucy usually treats Emmet nicely, because how could she not melt under his smile?

With Rex, she wants the guy to loosen up. She doesn't like to compare the two, but if Emmet loves this as much as he does and Rex used to be him then... she puts the two together.

But she doesn't push it, she's aware of how her presence makes him feel and she doesn't quite know where to start.

Emmet is a great catalyst and luckily pulls the two closer together.

When the first poke lands, a battle has begun. A very playful one.

Rex and Lucy spend more time poking each other than full on wrecking, but they've had their moments.

Such as when Lucy positively fell flat on her ass trying to build something. Rex laughed, because it was hilarious. Lucy was very quick to keep him laughing if he thought it was so hilarious.

Or when Rex leaned against a bike Emmet made, and it collapsed as soon as he touched it. He hadn't meant to destroy it but there he was in a heap of parts. Lucy was not sympathetic, proven by her snickers. Rex glared, and pounced. That'll teach her from laughing at Rex!

Lucy still struggles to be herself. She's had to be rough and tough for so long. She's seen growing up as mostly a negative thing, and she admires Emmet so much for his constant openness...

...And Emmet pokes, because yes he does poke Lucy too.

Lucy is ticklish and is embarrassed by it. She used to be all about bonding but it's very hard to trust people.

Emmet hates to see her frowning, and always tries to lighten the mood.

Even if that means sneaking in a few scribbles when it's least expected.

Emmet always pretends to be innocent, and accidentally has started a few tickle fights between Lucy and Rex because they think one of them did it.

When they find out it's Emmet, they absolutely double-team him in a temporary truce.

Emmet is proud of both of them and losing it a wee bit from their conjoined efforts.

Lucy begins to enjoy tickling, but she doesn't openly broadcast that either.

She pretends to know what she's doing, but she is rusty.

Laughing out loud without control is very flustering, and she certainty has a sweet laugh.

I have many more thoughts about them but here are some things for now!

[hollowflight-propaganda]

Unpopular opinion, but I genuinely think that March of the Oni is one of the worst Ninjago seasons, (That is if you even count it as a season.) and it's all because of that last episode. The fact that the title is even "Endings" and yet is one of the worst season finales I've seen in this whole show just makes my blood boil.

Because when you think about it, this episode is supposed to act as the ending not only for itself and the two seasons before it, but the first ten seasons and the Wilfilm era as a whole. But, to me at least, it just feels like it dropped the ball. (If you wanna read my long ass rant, be my guest.)

The most egregious thing this episode does is what they did with Cole. Literally what was the reason for this fake out death if he's just gonna show up completely fine afterwards. And yes, I know that it sparked some of the most tear jerking moments in this show and furthered what Lloyd and Garmadon had going on, but doesn't that just make it worse that it feels like this whole thing went nowhere? And I don't want to hear anything like, "Well, bad and unexpected things happen in life all the time! It's just being realistic!" If this show was going for that type of realism everyone in the main cast should be dead by now. And I'm not saying that that's not a true statement about the world, but this is a lego ninja show aimed at eight year olds.

And then there's the second fake out death in this four episode season. And I'm also aware that the scene where Lloyd meets the FSM is cool. I also think that the scene is really cool! But my problem lies in the fact that Lloyd dying and then being fine minutes later doesn't serve anything. At least Cole falling caused some interesting scenes, but what happened to Lloyd doesn't cause anything! And yes, he met god, but then god told him that he won't remember any of this anyway. Oh well.

And then Garmadon just walks away??? Like, I get why HE would do that, but Wu just let's him leave????? Isn't this guy literally only the evil parts of who he was before? And not to mention that he forcibly became a dictator like three weeks ago.

And there's so many other things that piss me off, like how Kai has kind of a full circle moment with his smithing abilities, and as a longtime Kai fan I really like this idea! But then it was only a 20 second montage. Like, you aren't even going to give us a reason as to how he became so good at being a blacksmith that he can reforge the fucking GOLDEN WEAPONS? NO??? Ok then! *explodes with rage*

And my next complaint is moreso targeted at the whole season, but am I the only one who thinks that the Oni where really underwhelming? Like, these are supposed to be demons hellbent on the total destruction of the universe, but they're also the most forgettable villains in this entire show. The only reason why I even remember Omega's name is because that name in this context is kickass, but other than that he has nothing going for him. He's just here to destroy and kill everybody, that's it. What makes him and say, Kalmaar so different, is that Kalmaar has an actual personality. They have the same fundamental plan, but Kalmaar feels more like a classic disney villain while Omega is an extremely watered down version of the Christian take on Satan. This could've been the chance to make some absolutely epic lore about the Oni, where they've been, what they're like, or literally anything. But no, they're just here to kill.

And then they where defeated by the power of spinning really fast with your fam. The whole Tornado of Creation coming back just to serve as a callback and a convenient Oni killswitch has always bugged me. It just feels really cheap, especially with how everything faded to white and we didn't even get to see what actually happened.

But the real reason why I hate this final episode so damn much is that, I really liked the episodes before it! When it was coming out I thought that this would be really good, and I was legitimately excited to see how it ended! But then it crushed my dreams by having the worst ending possible and I haven't been able to trust since.

Okay, I think I'm done now, these aren't all of the reasons why I hate it so much, but I've rambled enough so I'm done.

[casualreginaspectator]

I'm sitting behind the younger brother of the friend of the show in a church building right now. it threw me for a loop, at first, because the hair is almost the same. he's wearing his jacket, the dark brown one I've always liked. I've spoken to this brother once before, at a school function, and realized all at once it was his brother. I laughed, confirmed the fact with him, to which he asked if I was his friend.

"oh no," I said. "no your brother hates me. fucking hates my guts, really."

"what's your name?"

I told him, and he ran off.

He has no idea, this brother. has no idea how deeply I love his elder. has not a clue of our friendship. our strange little more-than-friendship. has no clue that the same fire that fueled that hate between us fueled everything else. that I've held him in my arms, wearing that same jacket.

we are both watching the same choir. this church is so strange, stranger to me now. no one claps after a song. we all perpetually sit in silence, the spaces between nearly deafening, save be a babies cry or the squeak of someone's boots against the polished yellow floor.

up in the choir sits my father. it's him I'm here to see, next to my own brother. beside my father in the stands is the country boy I liked so much, years ago. it's so strange to think that it was that same choir, this same concert, where everything got so complicated. I didn't notice it then, but my mother told me afterwards he had puppy-dog eyes on me the whole time. difficult, considering I invited my biblical David, the boy who would hurt me, to watch. the country boy, he told me a week later he was in love with me, that all he wanted was to make me happy.

"I don't think you can do that," I said. and so I ran after the other.

the friend of the show was likely in that audience too, watching. he was always watching. but this year he's gone, replaced by a younger, scrawnier version of himself, swimming in his jacket.

my brother's ex lover is in this choir, too.

it's a Christmas concert, for Christmastime. I stopped writing an essay to come here, despite the little I wanted to. my essay discusses the harm induced by high demand evangelical Christian denominations on sexual health, education, and safety. Ironic.

I do like Christmas. I like giving presents, too.

to the country boy, I gifted a scarf.

to David, an art-supplies sleeve.

to the friend of the show, warm socks he can wear under his dress pants.

to the boy now, the firstsecondthird, origami paper, and a star wars Lego set.

the boy now is drunk. very drunk. and I am at church, for my father. I put on lipstick.

the last time I was at church was only a few weeks ago -- before that, nearly a year -- to watch the friend of the show give a farewell talk. his speech was good, of course. he's terribly charismatic, a brilliant speaker. he had a dream once where we teamed up, he giving inspirational speeches and I writing concepts and outlines for him, helping his image. it was a nice idea, that teamwork. but this speech was all his own. I had to sit through the whole session, which made me terribly anxious. the building made me anxious. too many people talked to me, told me they were so happy I was there. I wanted to tear my nails through the backs of the seats. I wanted to scream. I tried to sing along, too, to the hymns. but I was too anxious to make a breath that sustained those tunes. too anxious to make any sort of pleasant sound. I was so angry, the whole day afterwards, locked myself in my room, yelled at people, slammed doors.

it's not so bad now. but I'm still angry. angry at this lipstick.

there are so many people in this room who I know, who I know have done things this church doesn't believe in, who believe contrary things.

that country boy got up to sing with his sister just now. his voice is so beautiful, and deep, and rich. he believes this church so soundly. I never even kissed him.

he still has that scarf.

I couldn't clap when he was finished.

[whatdoyougetwhenyou]

What do you get when you...

What do you get when...

I ask again what do you get when you have a young child and tons upon tons of Barbie shoes and Legos paired with One Dad that doesn't watch where he steps and doesn't always watch his mouth? Well… one part of that is the child or parenthood version of a war time mine field. Our daughter at the time was probably 8 years old so Lego's and Barbie was all that life was about. She is also very blessed to have wonderful grandparents and great grandparents that love her very much, that being said that means she says she wants something she usually gets it.

That means we are swimming in Legos and Barbies. The thing with Legos and Barbie is no matter how much you pick them up, you will never get them all. I do mean NEVER. The Barbie shoes come to live and walk themselves right in the path. I'm not so sure that they don't pick up those tiny one slot Legos with them. If youre a parent, you know the ones im talking about. Top all that off with a low to no light room and bare feet or even socked feet, you have yourself a level of Hell in its self.

My husband is the one that found the "mines" the most. Mainly because he is a man that doesnt watch where he steps. Everytime he would journey into our (at that time) small living room area, you could almost count down to the time of contact. "Damn Lego!" was the battle cry followed by other fatherhood words. I wouldnt ALWAYS laugh, but most time I couldnt help him.

Well one day I asked our daughter to pick up EVERY single Lego that was on the floor. She did a great job of it. However, she missed one right at the end of our loveseat and she just kept missing it. She looked and looked and told me she got them all. I knowing there is this one waiting for its bare foot enemy to just come strolling by before attacking. I told her one more time to look REALLY hard and make sure she got every one. She looked and looked but this one lego wasnt being picked up. She told me that she got them all, so i let it go. I know, I know bad mom should of picked it up but i didnt and im also not here to give you the perfect mom image.

Moving on, our daughter is playing when she has to get up and go to the bathroom. She makes her way from the middle of the living room and to the end of loveseat. Thats when it happens. She steps on the Lego and she lets out the call that informs the surrounding area she has been taken out.

"What happened?" I ask her. "Stepped on a Damn Lego!" the kid with hurt and shocked plastered acrossed her face. She quickly followed up with "I didn't mean to say that!" I wasnt even upset or mad. I could do nothing but laugh and look at her.

So I ask what do you get when you have a young child and tons upon tons of Barbie shoes and Legos paired with One Dad that doesn't watch where he steps and doesn't always watch his mouth?

Chaos!

[beauleifu]

Can I have a Nezha x reader where reader is just exhausted from the days work and just wants to rest while hugging their friend (who also needs to take a break)

Of course, dearly anonymous! Nezha is honestly the perfect teddy bear substitute lmao

Roughly 1.2k oneshot, hope you enjoy!

P.S. - I recommend listening to The Loser by Zach Farache while reading. Like a slowed version or sth <3

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

NEZHA X READER

Lego Monkie Kid

Context: You return one day from work just - exhausted, to say the least. And Nezha, having crashed at your place aver Lady Bone Demon's defeat, is more than willing to do nothing with you.

TW: None. FLUFF

‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹

"Uuurgghhh . . ."

You park the car and lean back in your seat, utterly fed up with the long shifts your manager puts you on. It's been days and your schedule hasn't changed.

Strictly speaking, you haven't gotten a proper day off in a week.

With aching feet and legs, you hop out of your vehicle (almost forgetting to lock it), and head for the front door of your home. It's not much, and your new roommate Nezha has made it clear that you're terrible at keeping it clean.

Yes. The Third Lotus Prince.

After defeating Lady Bone Demon but failing the one job he had, the lotus prince has decided to lay low until news comes.

Honestly, you don't know what kind of news he's looking for, but you were happy to host him in your humble abode. Funny, even after losing his position, he'd still be working tirelessly.

Seems like the dude is getting about as much sleep as you.

Besides, he's found it necessary to perform a daily cleanse of the surrounding dark energy. The first time you witnessed the glowing pink petals flowing gently throughout your house without the hint of a breeze was amazing. You were struck dumb with awe and fascination, but made sure not to bother Nezha's meditation session. Sometimes you'd even attempt to join him. You know he appreciates it whenever you do; he's almost touched at your attempts.

Lately, though, you've been working constantly. It's getting tedious and tiring.

Huffing, you close the front door behind you.

"I'm home. . . ."

Silence.

You expect as much, considering the time and the fact that you encouraged Nezha to get some sleep today (for the longest time, he'd been substituting it for meditation in order to guard the map 24/7. Obviously, there's no need for that now, but it's become a bad habit).

With a sigh, you drop your stuff on the counter, going to get yourself a cup of water.

Soft footsteps reach your ears. "(Y/N)?"

Nezha's in the kitchen, brewing some tea. And it's astonishing.

He'd approached you when he heard your voice, but seems surprised to see you in front of him, eyes wide.

"Wha- Shouldn't you be asleep??" You whisper/yell, then let out a huge yawn. Afterwards, you check the time. "It's . . . it's two in the morning."

The Third Lotus Prince glances sideways. "I decided to wait for you."

"Couldn't sleep?" You guess.

When you side-step him and cross the kitchen to the cabinets in search of a water glass, Nezha sighs. "I suppose that's part of the reason why."

You hum tiredly, eyes hooded. "Well . . . at least I don't have to feel bad for waking you up."

"Of course not," Nezha agrees softly, eyes downcast.

You notice then, the bags under his eyes, the awkward yet exhausted way he holds himself. Clearly, he's as burnt out as you. Taking a long sip of water to think about your next course of action, your eyes fall on his arms. Strong, warm, firm . . . you've been in them before and have longed for that feeling ever since.

Right now, the thought is hard to ignore.

The Prince's eyes dart up. "So . . . how was work, then?"

"Fine, thanks. . . ."

You pause, frowning slightly at him. He simple tilts his head in return. "You're, ah . . . staring. Something on your mind?"

Biting your lip, you think about it.

Right now, you're tired.

So tired, you're unafraid of the consequences of your next words.

"Can I . . ."

No.

Maybe there is a part of you that's aware and active. Swallowing, you search for a better way to ask your question. Honestly, you're too tired to even feel anxiety.

"Would you mind if I hugged you? . . . Right now?"

Nezha blinks, eyes slightly widening. But not to an extensive degree, no; that takes too much energy.

He suddenly smiles tiredly.

"All right. C'mere."

With that, he holds his arms out, head tilted slightly to the side as he considers you without really seeing you. Relieved, you take a few steps forward, arms outstretched, and fall into the embrace with your eyes closed. Nezha's hands find your back and one rubs in slow circles, the other tugging your shirt down over your pants. Okay, perhaps he's not so tired as to fail to notice your unpresentable attire.

Whenever you get off work lately, you stop caring about how you look on your way home. So ruffled collars, untucked shirts and mismatched socks galore.

Smiling faintly, you inhale his familiar scent, face buried in the hoodie you'd bought for him.

The stress just dissipates into the air.

". . . Thngks."

"Hmm?" Nezha prompts, leaning against the counter. "I didn't catch that."

Internally eye-rolling, you scoff. "Thanks, dork."

"You're welcome-" A huge yawn interrupts whatever Nezha was going to say. When he finishes, he taps your shoulder thoughtfully. "I think the couch would be more comfortable. Should we migrate?

"Mm."

"You're . . . not going to move, are you."

The smile works its way onto your face despite the exhaustion. You've all but melted in the Prince's arms. " . . . Nah."

He sighs in slight exasperation.

"Carry me?" You offer, eyes still closed. The idea in itself sounds wonderful; who wouldn't love a break from using their feet for once. But Nezha's tired, so you make sire to add; "Please . . ?"

A pause.

Fair enough. He deserves some time to consider the strain of carrying you.

Nezha is a deity, though.

You're positive he could carry you times 50.

After a moment, Nezha exhales softly in defeat. "All right," he says, bending his knees. His arms slide down to hook under your rear and you're suddenly hoisted into the air. Instinctively, you wrap your legs around his torso, arms slung lazily over his shoulders with your face still half-buried in the Prince's hoodie.

You smile tiredly, eyes closed. The energy to open them is too costly.

"Everything okay?" Nezha murmurs, heading for the couch.

"Mm."

When you arrive, he doesn't set you down. Rather, the Lotus Prince seats himself on the couch, making sure your legs won't get trapped behind, and proceeds to sink back into the cushions.

You take this as a sign to get comfortable. But first, you sit back and rub your eyes 'cause they're being bothersome.

Cracking them open, you blink slowly at Nezha.

"Can I sleep here . . ?"

The Prince yawns, eyes half-lidded with sleep. "Yes . . . one moment, okay?"

"Okay. . . ."

You scootch off him when he shifts, propping a pillow against the armrest and laying down. Head on the pillow, he extends one arm and beckons you over.

"You wanted to cuddle, correct-"

A noise of surprise escapes Nezha when you suddenly fall forward, albeit slowly, and promptly lay with your head on his chest.

A sigh of relief leaves you.

Nezha hums at your performance, one arm behind his head while the other goes to mess with your hair or the hem of your sleeve. It's lulling, and you close your eyes as the feeling of safety engulfs you. Here, there's not a threat in the world. You're safe, comfy, and warm, and wouldn't trade this for the world.

Work was exhausting, but coming home to this makes it all worthwhile.

"Goodnight, (Y/N)," Nezha murmurs, gazing at the ceiling for a moment. Then he, too shuts his eyes and allows sleep to claim his soul.

You don't reply, already fast asleep.

Okay... so I see you love trans headcanons COULD I PLZ GET ME SOME!? Like some trans red son and trans prince red headcanons? I need some for spicynoodleshipping! I honestly crave it maybe a little to much... but I really haven't found any trans red stuff yet, only stuff with MK and I think of Monkey King too now that I think of it.

But could I have some please I would to see what you come up with. I also don't know why but seeing MK with a preggers Red just seems so fricken cute to me!🥰🥰🥰

I do love trans headcanons!! Trans!MK is my favorite because there’s just so many lil bits about his character in canon that lend credence to that theory such as his unknowable name.. People have really latched onto that headcanon for MK specifically, which is fun because I love seeing it, but yeah you’re right, having Red Son be trans is also amazing! I have seen some people make content using that headcanon but not nearly as much as there is for MK. And tbh there’s some canon backup to the Trans!Red Son theory too. Remember this moment?

“S-son?” Like it was a big deal for DBK to call him ‘son’ specifically.. yeah I buy it. Also if this is the first time Demon Bull King calls Red Son his son, maybe he transitioned while DBK was under the mountain or something? Would certainly make sense if that were the case considering their first interaction. Red Son gives a whole big speech about how it was “I, RED SON, WHO REMOVED THE STAFF” and yeah it can just be chalked up to what a freakin theater kid he is, but putting his love of drama aside, it could also be because he’s like Hey I’m your child! I’m gonna reiterate that you’re my father and my name is Red Son. It’s SON, I’m your son now!

Oh and let’s not gloss over the fact that he loves repeating his own name all the time throughout the series. “I, Red Son,” is something he says all the time. Just pointing out to everyone around that he’s Red SON… Also about the name, I may be wrong about this because I don’t read Chinese so forgive me, but the name for him from JTTW in Chinese is Hóng hái'ér (红孩儿) and hái'ér (孩儿) also appears to translate to child or baby which is a gender neutral word… so in this English version at least, the deliberate use of Red SON could mean something in terms of his gender identity. Again, I don’t know for sure that my interpretation of the Chinese word is accurate, so if not then my bad. I tried to find an answer to if it was specifically masculine but could not get a straight answer online :U

Anyway, besides the name, there’s other things about his role in Lego Monkie Kid and its version of JTTW that are interesting for Red. In JTTW, he is the demon who is defeated by Monkey King with the help of Bodhisattva Guanyin and their vase that can hold an ocean of water inside it. In LMK, when Tang is recalling the lore of the vase to MK, he says he can’t quite remember the demon that was defeated using it. Either Tang knows and is just like a great queer ally for not outing his enemy, or maybe Red Son actually did some kind of magic to make it so people don’t remember who his was before he transitioned. Either way, I thought that was an interesting point… there’s also the fact that in the first special, when MK goes to Flower Fruit Mountain for the first time and is given visions of Monkey King’s life and it includes a shot of all the villains he’s faced, Red Son is noticeably absent.. despite the fact that both his parents are there. Curious.

As far as far as some spicynoodles trans headcanons go, I think it’s fun for both of them to be trans! That just seems like it could make for a great coming out scene for the both of them. Like, Red Son doesn’t take it lightly to come out to anyone because he’s worked really hard on his image (and maybe even make the world literally forget that he ever wasn’t Red Son) and he doesn’t want anyone to think of him differently, especially not MK. But if he’s dating the Noodle Boy, then he should be able to trust him… and he should know… right? Anyway, Red tries to be all serious and dramatic as he tells MK, but MK is just like :O DUDE! SAME! And he lifts his shirt to show he’s wearing a binder with the trans flag on it. And Red is just like omg of course he is. I knew I loved this idiot.

Also, you mentioned Prince Red in your ask specifically, and yeah I think this would be a great AU for Red to be trans in. The previous headcanons having to do with his name don’t really apply here, since he doesn’t use ‘Son’ in his name at all… but he does go by the gendered title of Prince, so that’s something. Maybe in this version his mother was less than supportive of his transition. When he was released from Guanyin’s service (which was probably the time in which he came to terms with his gender identity) he probably went back to his mother, grieving the loss of her husband, and tried to console her while also trying to help her understand that he’s a boy now.. and she just either doesn’t get it or doesn’t care to try and it makes it so much easier for Red to walk away….. eventually she comes around, but only begrudgingly, and it’s after a few centuries of Red giving her the cold shoulder.

When it comes to the spicynoodles in the Prince Red AU, I see no reason this couldn’t be the AU where it’s Red who has their children instead of MK.. there’s a lot of MK babies out in the fandom, Red should get to have some of them, right? :U
