Aaah, I forgot to post this here! But it was an attack on @u3pxx !

[dollxkill]

𝐖𝐘𝐁𝐌?

“𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞?“

pairing: niko omilana x black! fem! reader

genre: fluff

cw: cursing (barely)

summary: after years of hidden feelings, you finally ask niko to be your boyfriend.

a/n: my first niko fic!! enjoy🫶🏾.

Niko has always been your best friend ever since you moved to London. The day you met, you two instantly clicked and have been talking ever since. He’s such a good listener, is fun to be around, and is just a good person in general.

Over the course of your friendship, you’ve started to develop feelings for him. You never thought you would have a crush on one of your best friends but honestly, you couldn’t help it. He treated you with care and has never done anything disrespectful towards you or anything to put you in harms way. Today, you were finally going to tell him how you felt.

He was on his way to your house and to say you were nervous would be an understatement. You were BEYOND nervous. All these crazy thoughts were flowing through your head. “What if he rejects me?” “What if I look like a fool?” “What if-“. Your thoughts were cut off by a knock on your front door.

You open the door to see none other than your best friend himself, Niko. “L/N.” He says with a mock serious tone. “Omilana.” You say in that same tone as it is soon cut off by your laugh. You two always greet each other like this yet it gets better every time.

“What have you been up to?” He asks as he gives you a quick hug before walking in and plopping down on the couch. “Nothing much, same shit I usually do. Do nails, go out, watch movies, nothing too crazy. You?” You reply as you plop down next to him and lay your head on his shoulder.

“Filming videos with BetaSquad. They keep telling me to invite you to shoot with us one day.” He says with a soft laugh as he looks down at me. “Really? I’m down honestly, I like hanging out with you guys.” You respond as your eyes meet his. The room is silent for a few moments before you speak again. “Niko, can we talk about something?” You ask hesitantly.

Niko must’ve noticed the tone in your voice because a look of worry quickly covered his face as he turned to look at you more. “Of course Y/N. Are you okay?” He says softly. “I’m fine…I just…have some things I need to get off my chest.” You say nervously as you lift your head off of his shoulder. “Ok, well…I’m listening.” He states.

You take a deep breath before beginning to talk. “Niko…ever since I came to London, you’ve been nothing but kind to me. Originally, I came here thinking I wasn’t going to meet a lot of people or make friends but when I met you, my whole perspective changed. You’re so supportive, you’re a great listener, you always pay attention to the little details. You make me so happy and I don’t know what I would do without you. Over the course of our friendship, I started to develop feelings for you.”

“I never told you until now because I kept overthinking about it and thinking you wouldn’t feel the same. Soon I realized that I couldn’t wait anymore. So with that being said, Niko…will you be mine?” You say as you search his face for any sort of reaction.

As soon as you stop talking, Niko’s face goes completely blank. In your head you’re thinking “fuck, I ruined our friendship didn’t I?” second guessing your entire decision. The room was silent again until he finally replied.

“Y/N…I have feelings for you too. I’ve had them since the day you came to London. I didn’t know how to tell you and I didn’t think you liked me all this time. I would love to be yours.” He says with a soft smile on his face.

Your eyes light up as you jump into his arms and hug him, starting to tear up as you hug him tight. At first, you were regretting this whole plan. But now that you know he feels the same way, you’re glad you faced your fears and spoke up. He’s finally yours, and you’re never letting him go.

*not proofread or spell checked*

a/n:hii! I love this fic so much omgg. Requests are open and very appreciated (only because I have no fucking ideas other than this lmfao😭)

summer-y alex/niko inspired by il mio bungalow by @kathastrophen 🧡

[kathastrophen]

Es fehlt noch eine Szene im ersten Kapitel von il mio bungalow, die mich wahrscheinlich an die 6.000 Worte Grenze bringen wird. Und dann noch ein bisschen Editing. *chuckles* what have I put myself in with this one??

[honeyscovet]

Sorry to say and i’m really not a homophobe but i really wanted vaughn and a female. I loveeed niko and brandons story but it would have been so nice if the serpent leader was a woman. I feel like her books are so male centred sure she has strong woman but still.. this would have been a plot twist if a woman was behind all the menace.. she could have given as another sascha… 😕

While I understand your point and do agree that we DO need strong FMCs from RK—us readers—can’t force her to write anything or feel entitled to her writing.

What I think happened was (this is my speculation entirely) that Vaughn’s book was supposed to be MF as RK said previously BUT while writing KTV, she saw more of a potential between Vaughn and Yulian instead of whoever that (supposed) girlfriend. We also need to keep in mind that there is no other FMC introduced within the Legacy of Gods universe.

(We don’t know if Damien & Mio have a daughter or even a child AT ALL.)

Yes, it may feel like RK lied to you (and others who are against this book) but NONE of that was set in stone. You all just took and ran with it when you very well know that RK does change her mind a lot (like it was supposed Gareth/Jayden at one point).

I personally don’t believe she is fetishing MM romance—let’s be real—there are only 4 so far, out of which, one book was published 15 months ago, the second book is yet to be released and the other two are yet to be written and probably won’t be released until 2026. RK has 30+ MF books across high school/contemporary/mafia universes. Legacy of Gods only has ONE MM BOOK.

Can’t we, queer people, have anything?

Back to what you said about Serpents leader being a girl in disguise, it sounds good in the head but terribly cliche in a book. We do not need Sasha 2.0, that woman alone is a badass FMC. You all also need to STOP seeing Vaughn as Kirill 2.0 and he’s not going to fuck a copy of his mother (that’s gross).

That’s all I can say. I do wish for better FMCs but then again I don’t particularly read MF books (haven’t done so in years) and I don’t plan to. I only read MM, FF and queer-centric books so you won’t get any complaints from me, reading and watching MY people and people in MY community thrive in books.

Il cuore mi si spezzò in due; ma ben presto, accidenti a lui, i due pezzi si riattaccarono. Hai presente certe vele con mille rattoppi, rossi, gialli, neri, cuciti con spago rosso, che oramai resistono ai peggiori temporali? Il mio cuore è così. Ha mille buchi e mille rattoppi, è invincibile.

[mucillo]

"Un tempo dicevo: 'Costui è greco, è bulgaro, è turco…'. In quell'epoca ho commesso per il mio paese certe azioni che ti farebbero rizzare i capelli in testa. Ho tagliato la gola alla gente, ho appiccato fuoco ai villaggi, ho violato le donne, ho distrutto intere famiglie. Perché? Perché quegli infelici erano turchi o bulgari. 'Va al diavolo, maiale!' mi dico talvolta quando ci ripenso. 'Va all'inferno, vecchio asino!' Adesso domando soltanto se un uomo è buono o cattivo: non mi interessa conoscere la sua nazionalità. È onesto? È bastardo? Ecco l'unica interrogazione che mi rivolgo.”

Idol Showdown Next Fes Chars Wishlist and More

Now that it was announced that this indie game will have more content, I can now pick up on this idea that I left off, because I thought would be no more content after the last update months ago.

This is perhaps the least extensive Wishlist I've ever made

I was thinking of putting guest vtubers outside of hololive, but perhaps it would be out of place also that holo indie is the one who publishes the game.

Hololive EN & ID that they must be fighters: Mori Calliope, Hakoz Baelz, Shiori Novella, Nerissa Ravencroft, Gigi Murin, Cecilia Immergreen, Vestia Zeta, Airani Iofifteen

Hololive JP & Dev IS that they must be fighters: Akai Haato, Uruha Rushia, Tsunomaki Watame, Takane Lui, Juufutei Raden, Todoroki Hajime, Kogane Niko, Rindo Chihaya

Holo that can be assists: IRyS, Koseki Bijou, Raora Panthera, Kobo Kanaeru, Otonase Kanade, Ichijou Ririka, Mizumiya Su, Kikirara Vivi

Holo that can be Bosses or Mid bosses: Gawr Gura, Tsukumo Sana, Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame, Haachama, La+ Darknesss, A chan, Omega Alpha, Yagoo

Assist & NPC that must be fighters: Amelia Watson, Nanashi Mumei, Ayunda Risu, Pavolia Reine, Kaela Kovalskia, Oozora Subaru, Murasaki Shion, Ookami Mio

Ay dios mio…

… has it gotten any better? Or at least less painful?

— @lady-of-the-hive

It has, used to hurt if you just lightly poked the area. Now it takes a lot more force for it to start hurting.

Most of the time I forget it's even a problem. Think it's only this bad 'cos I slipped on ice a couple times when I ran to Niko's.

il mio bungalow 🎧

„Ihr habt ein was?“, entfährt es Niko lauter als beabsichtigt und einige der anderen Gäste sehen neugierig zu ihnen hinüber. „Niko, bitte.“ Niko hebt entschuldigend die Hände und sieht zu Sophie und Alex, die ihm gegenüber sitzen. „Ja, ein Ferienhaus. Wir haben es von unserer Tante geerbt. Sie hatte keine Kinder“, erklärt Sophie zwischen zwei Bissen. „Und es müsste mal wieder jemand nach dem Rechten sehen. Da hatte ich an euch gedacht.“

Family Ties, Chapter 8: Big Family

After breakfast, the Yuus went to explore the farm. Three of their cousins joined them, wanting to spend time with them and show them around. They introduced themselves as Ari, Kyo, and Megumi, and they were Auntie Asuka’s triplets.

“Hang on,” Yuya said slowly when the triplets introduced themselves. “So you guys are triplets, and then Auntie Ren, I think it was? has twins, and Mean Old Uncle is Mom’s twin…”

“Yeah, there’s a lot of twins and triplets in our family,” Megumi replied. “Uncle Ichiro, Uncle Toshiro, and Auntie Fumiko are triplets, Mom and Auntie Kaede are twins, Uncle Haru and Auntie Yoko are twins, Uncle Hiroshi, Auntie Sakura, and Kagura are triplets, but Kagura’s not really welcome in the family anymore after what she did. Then there’s Cousin Miki and Cousin Niko, the oldest cousins, they’re 32-year-old twins. Next is Cousins Hiroto, Mei, and Len, they’re 31-year-old triplets. Then comes 30-year-old Hina, she’s one of the few cousins that isn’t a twin or triplet, then 29-year-old twins Akiko and Akito, then 29-year-old triplets Seiichi, Tadashi, and Mio, then 29-year-old triplets Emi, Saki, and Yuki, then 28-year-old triplets Kenji, Nobuo, and Hiro, then 27-year-old twins Ayame and Ayano, then Ari, Kyo, and me, we’re also 26, then 26-year-old twins Daichi and Ryuichi, then 24-year-old twins Kasumi and Mitsu, then 24-year-old Yuno, then 23-year-old twins Kotone and Kai, then 21-year-old triplets Takumi, Kazuo, and Isamu, then 21-year-old twins Miwa and Misaki, then 21-year-old triplets Haruko, Rei and Asuna, then 20-year-old Yumiko, and finally 19-year-old Mayumi.”

Yuya frowned. “Mom is only 34, right? Doesn’t that mean that Cousins Miki and Niko were born two years after she was?”

“Yep, Uncle Haru and Auntie Yoko were surprise babies,” said Ari. “All of their siblings were between 18 and 21 when Grandma found out she was pregnant with them.”

Yuri hummed, intrigued. “So, which of our cousins belong to which parents?” he asked

“Miki and Niko are Auntie Ren and Uncle Hiroshi’s kids,” Kyo replied. “Hiroto, Mei, and Len are Auntie Kaede and Uncle Akira’s kids. Akiko, Akito, Yuno, Miwa, and Misaki are Uncle Jun and Kagura’s. Emi, Saki, Yuki, Kotone, Kai, Haruko, Rei, and Asuna are Auntie Fumiko and Uncle Ryou’s. Hina, Seiichi, Tadashi, Mio, Kenji, Nobuo, and Hiro are Uncle Toshiro and Auntie Amaya’s. Ayame, Ayano, Daichi, Ryuichi, Kasumi, Mitsu, Takumi, Kazuo, and Isamu are Uncle Ichiro and Auntie Sakura’s. And the three of us and Mayumi are your Auntie Asuka and Uncle Takeshi’s kids.”

Yugo was quiet for a moment, then slowly looked at Yuya. “How many cousins do we have on Dad’s side, Yuya?” he asked with trepidation. Yuya replied, “Only four.”

To which Yugo let out a sigh of relief. “Oh thank god, it’s going to be hard enough keeping track of all the cousins on Mom’s side.”

Ari, Kyo, and Megumi all laughed. “Don’t worry, little cousin!” Kyo reassured him. “We all lose track all the time. If you forget a cousin or a name or call someone by the wrong name, nobody will be offended.”
