[teddybeartoji]

MICKEYYYYY i saw ur wips and ran here as fast as i could !!!!!! ik we have already Talked abt vamp!geto x journalist!gojo x vamp!reader bUT im still begging for any crumbs or snippets u have they r my reason for being … same w knight!reader x prince!gojo i would love to know more abt the next part!! AND AND AND NEIGHBOR!MAKI??? I AM LOOKING

ARI ARI ARI ARI ARI ARI IT'S SOOOO GOOD TO SEE U HERE<333

welcome back to my brainrot!!! the vamps - i'm pretty sure (very fucking sure) that i'm just gonna have to write multiple parts for that au!!!! not really part 1 and part 2 but just snippets from their life i think. ofc the first meeting between gojo and geto and reader but then i really wanna write about shoko and reader too, like how'd they meet etc. i can see like a rainy day with a shivering shoko heading to her favourite bar after a long work day. it's a pretty unpopular place; she has her own little spot in the window booth and the bartender already knows what she orders. a neon light hangs from above the bar but otherwise it's just some random low lamps that barely light up the place - it's perfect like that. the music isn't too loud either, it's mainly 80's music and stuff alike that. shoko thought it a bit lame at first but now, it's one of the reasons she keeps coming back. it's a perfect escape from the life she leads. on that rainy night, though.... the door swings open and a hooded figure struts to the bar, barely catching shoko's attention. she's busy watching the raindrops bash against the window, the cig slowly burning between her fingertips. the quiet clearing of a throat does pull her out of it - it's you. dark eyes and an even darker small smile, pointing to the seat opposite of her. "may i?" it's so sultry, catching shoko a bit off-guard. normally, she wouldn't let a stranger sit with her. why would she? but you? you're different. something about you is already making her hook onto you. digging around in your little bag, you pull out a cig of your own. but no lighter. you lean your elbows onto the table and toward the woman before you. "do you mind?" she knows what you mean; she's already clutching the tiny fire machine in her jacket pocket. the cig hangs from your mouth, a confident smirk pulling on the corners of your dark lips. her hand raises to it, she flicks the ligher and watches your lips fully curve around the thing. it takes light, the tip turns a bright orange for a second before dimming down; you inhale. deep. shoko's hand remains in its spot. and exhale. she gulps.

and reader and sugu, how their relationship began and overall how their life together is (talking about this with momo and i haven't stopped thinking about sugu owning a museum and all that). OKAY AS I WAS TYPING THIS U REBLOGGED IT so i know u've seen that too but yk i wanna elaborate on that more bc i loved that idea and since i'm talking about it already HE DOES PAINT. 1000000% THERE'S A MASSIVEEE MASSIVE ROOM FOR JUST HIM AND HIS ART. in the mansion and in the museum. the room has big windows and he looooves to paint just when the moon lights up the room.... it's perfect for painting u.

aaaaaand i mean geto and gojo duo is something that needs a deep fucking study too................. like ur slowdancing idea????? it lives in my head. i don't think it'll ever leave if i'm being honest. anyway i think gojo is almost as infatuated with geto as he is with u. c'mon???? he's fucking ethereal how could he not be??? i think he follows geto around at the house a lot. he wants to know what he does at all times, just wants to know more about him (he wants to hold his hand)(he wants to play with his hair). geto definitely finds it annoying at first i think i already said that but yeah. but fret not he does come off it after a while. what if gojo asks him to teach him how to paint????? so he watches gojo do it, but when he needs help he steps right behind him, chest touching gojo's back, hand grasping over his, guiding along the canvas. do u think gojo is paying any fucking attention at this point?????????? fuck no i'm sorry but that man is popping a boner. anyway. gojo accidentally teaches him some dirty jokes - geto swears he doesn't even listen to him but the stupid one-liners just keep coming out of his mouth (a sign that he's spending a lot of time with his little bf)(he's trying to ignore that fact).

as for our little prince and our little knight - the next part is imminent i promise!! i know i said that last weekend too but it's definitely dropping this weekend lmao. we learn a bit about shoko's (and the knight's) childhood and finally our favourite duo gets to bond over some childish laughter. but only just for a moment though....

ANYWAY neighbor!maki is very much inspired by a scene from the movie bound (1996). maki and the reader have seen each other a few times in the hallway of their apartment complex but they haven't spoken - until the reader goes to ask her for help. and then they both understand how attracted they are to each other. no smut not even suggestive they're just kind of flirting it's cute. i literally have so little of it but i still love the idea so muchhhh i need to finish it maki deserves it i love her

prince!gojo (autumn)

he has also learned that shoko had a friend, who was ready to do anything for her and for others for that's sake. with a deep sigh, she confessed that she regretted not taking in the other kid. shoko was more quiet, more well-behaved in a sense but the other kid - they kept getting into fights with the knights of the castle. "i kept scolding them over it. but no, they just kept going. later i learned that all of those beatings and slashings were for other kids." her head hanged low as she spoke. "they kept taking the blame for the younger kids, so that they wouldn't get hurt. stole food, so that they wouldn't starve. i didn't know."

the prince nodded along, surprised to hear about this noble kid. "where are they now?" he asked in a whisper, a little scared to hear the answer.

"they left. around the time they were twelve, i think. shoko was miserable. brought me and her flowers and bread; the most polite troubled kid i ever saw." she sighed."i was stupid."

neighbor!maki

"hi!

"hi." your neighbor takes a second to look at you.

"s-sorry, i don't mean to impose but could i ask for your help?"

"with what?" she asks with a raised brow.

"um, my sink fucking broke. a-and i saw you with a toolbox the other day and i t-thought maybe you could help me? if not, that's totally fine."

+

"do i make you nervous, maki?"

"no."

she goes to grab the bottle from your hand, fingers brushing over yours.

"thirsty, maybe?"

"curious, maybe."

So here’s a Lack A Daisy question, if Rocky were to propose to Ari, how would it go down?

Rocky knowing how Ari feels about marriage would probably result in him taking his time to even bring it up, only doing so after noticing she doesn't show any aversion when her aunt asks when he's thinking of popping the question

but when he does he still tries to somewhat pose it as just a hypothetical question or a joke he can take back in case she's not interested, like "So... hypothetically speaking, IF I asked you to marry me, what would you say?"

and she responds with "...Hypothetically, I guess I would say... 'I always thought your last name would suit me' ♥️”

which is 10x better than whatever best case scenario he could think of and he was not ready for it but sCREW IT he's gonna get down on one knee and ask properly IMMEDIATELY, he can buy a ring later

[nappingmoon]

SAGEEEEEE i saw your wips !!!! :3 would like to know more about guardian angel!choso pls ….. also fever pitch ……… vampire!choso …………… 😳😳 your brain!!!!!

HIIII ARI!!

okay this is funny because I literally had not thought about it since writing it but it was sitting in my drafts and i was like "omg wait that was kind of a good idea who wrote that"

i just think there's this allure of choso as a character in jjk who is new to things and yet still tries his best to be caring and protecting, like he does with yuuji. he gives me the energy of that six week old kitten who was found taking care of like four smaller kittens :(((( i love him sm

and so i feel like he fits right into an au where his job is to protect and keep his subject safe, all while still learning the ropes on his own. and because he can never have things easy, his first task, his first little human that has been placed in his care, is this twenty something year old human who stresses him him out sooo bad hehe. like you walk under ladders and lean on very visibly unstable furniture and on his first day he is so anxious and stressed that while preventing a bowl from falling on your head, he accidentally makes himself visible to you.

you blink at him and brush it off, assuming it's another sleep deprivation induced hallucination and head to your fire escape to light another cigarette and forget about it. surely there's no tall beautiful man in your apartment holding a bowl. and even if there was one, he wouldn't have soft, fluttery wings tucked against him. you just need a quick nicotine fix and all will be well again.

except he follows you onto the fire escape and berates you a little for being so unbothered by a man in your apartment. takes the cigarette out of your mouth and replaces it with a lollipop from his pocket. it's your favorite flavor. you're stunned.

of course it is. he knows you, through and through (even if some of your choices and motivations remain an absolute mystery to him).

Rody's playlist is comprised of mostly morbid songs and metal songs, with happy songs sprinkled in

Vince listens to classical music but doesn't really care for any type music

That's until Rody plays/sings for him for the first time

RODY WITH THE HEAVY METAL PLAYLIST IS SO REAL

i love characters that are silly and have the most morbid music they listen to!!!

vince i think gravitates to anything considered "sophisticated" (including classical music) but he would absolutely love rody's guitar playing anyways bc its rody!!

[angeart]

thinking about the boatem circus au and...yeah, i totally forgot that it's implied that the watchers set fire to the circus..............i can't imagine the GUILT grian feels if/when he finds out.........maybe he thinks that he should have just sucked it up and stayed with the watchers because if he had then at least the only one being hurt would be himself, not other lost and vulnerable hybrids........

okay you have nO IDEA how much this made me think of hhau grian actually. for, uh, reasons.

anyway, i think if the boatem circus folk found out, they'd get even more protective over grian. pointing out that it's not his fault; that he's not guilty of this crime, but the people who set those flames, knowingly. that the cruelty doesn't come from grian's hands and it's not his fault that it follows in his footsteps.

grian would still feel guilty, absolutely devastated that scar's wonderful circus burned to the ground because of shadows of grian's past... but i think he couldn't stand the thought of never leaving that awful place. even if it'd prevent this from happening to the others. is it selfish? maybe.

i don't think i should've never left is a thought that he has. but it's not like he wants anyone else to get hurt either! it's complicated!

15 for Jeih and Ary?

what's A's absolute favorite (or least favorite) thing about B?

For Ary: the thing he most appreciates about Jeih is probably Jeih's feistiness/persistence. It's simultaneously his least favorite thing as it comes with a lot of baggage, and while it generally bodes well for Jeih's overall survival, Aryion doesn't particularly like it directed at himself - especially when he's just trying to help.

For Jeih: Probably the discovery that beneath all the rigidity, coldness and teeth, Aryion has a gentle, curious side that runs deep. Least favorite is that Aryion is mostly a closed book to him, and Jeih dislikes boundaries.

What are your favourite tlh characters and why?

Hi there! ✨

If you have seen my blog the past few weeks, you probably can guess some of them, but here we go:

Grace

I feel like Grace is one of the most complex characters we've ever gotten in TSC and it feels like such a breath of fresh air. Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly aware that these are YA novels, so I generally don't expect the books to be super amazing, I know what I'm signing up for, but that's precisely why I like her so much. Her personality is very unlike other female characters we've gotten in the series and I don't mean that in a "not like other girls" sense but in the sense that it caught my attention immediately, because CC doesn't have the best track of giving her girls gray morality without treating them like they suck for that.

I guess I was always curious about her? Even in CoG she gave the impression she was more than she seemed, and reading her backstory in CoI just made me hurt for her and root for her to have a happy ending after so much misery. There's something really satisfying about characters that have faced so much hardships finally getting a chance to simply be.

Alastair

Oh, boy. When I first read CoG and I read about Alastair, he felt to me so much like my older brother that I loved him immediately. It helped that I found his snark incredibly funny. However... as I kept reading TLH, he actually started reminding me of, well, myself. For many reasons, but let's not get too personal here, haha, let's just say I found his flaws, his struggles, and his stubbornness to go on in spite of that very relatable. How could I not love him deeply and dearly?

Aside from my biased reasons, I also find that his character is written very consistently and I loved his character arc (I stand by how simplistic some things felt in COT, but even so), how he had his highs and his lows, that was very nicely done. He also feels like a complex character because he's allowed to fuck up badly and it doesn't get swept under the rug, though I would say they go the other way with him and Grace by being too harsh, but I'll take my wins where I can.

Christopher

Oh, Kit, sweet Kit, you were the best of them all. Christopher is such a great character because, while mostly ignored the first two books, he's endearing practically without trying. CC's books have this thing where sometimes they try to convince you a character is likable for X reasons and it simply doesn't work for me that they tell me that I should love a character.

Christopher doesn't have that problem, they kinda present him to you as this klutzy nerd, but he's so much more than that. His logic helps him be the most compassionate and kind from the group, no matter what the narrative tries to tell you. He's perceptive, he's fair, he's fun. Who doesn't like Christopher even if he isn't their favorite? He knows what he is and what he wants and he follows through with it, he's such a pillar of the group that passes unnoticed because he's always in the background, but by the gods, he's so good.

Honorary mentions

Thomas and Ari.

I adored Thomas in CoT, though I must admit he doesn't spark my curiosity and excitement quite like the other three did, in the way that I would get immediately engaged the second I saw their names on the page. Nothing wrong with him, just my personal preferences, but he was truly funny and sweet and I quite liked that!

Ari... I do like her, in a way, I wanted to like her so bad, but she's trapped as the love interest in Anna's narrative, and given that I have no love for Anna's character or their pairing, it was hard for me to enjoy her appearances. She didn't have a chance to shine on her own, but when I think of all the ramifications of her story, I swoon a little. She could be so interesting.

[silvergyus]

omg ur recent soobin post! he is so emotional and intense and complex and it makes me feel so much better about myself lmao bc i always feel like i have to like..tone myself down for other people. or that im too much or too emotional or ~complicated~ for ppl. but seeing someone like soobin being himself makes me feel happy :,)

I feel the same way! I am really loud and extroverted and deeply emotional (enfp + libra lol) and so I think what I love so much about him is that he is introverted but still expresses himself and gives us glimpses into himself. I feel like in ways idols or just performers in general don't always do

like, something that really stands out to me is when he said that he felt bad because he was the only member who didn't have a good time during lolla 2022. that was super emotional for me as a moa who went to lolla 2022 and was gearing up for lolla 2023. and it's extremely vulnerable of him to share that!! like, he put himself at risk of potentially hurting fans that went to 2022 and also like, let people know that right before they performed again, as headliners. and I understand why he was so scared and why he didn't have the best time and I'll never hold that against him but I so very much admire him for feeling brave enough to say how he felt :,)

like, idk I really just feel like he's a really sensitive guy and I think it makes him who is is as a person and as an idol and the leader of txt. and I'm so proud and filled with emotion when I get to hear him speak from the heart

he balances his roles well and I've only been a moa for about 2.5 years now but getting to see him + the other members grow and learn about what they've been proud of has been something that brings me a lot of happiness

" MMM … MI … MR. FLUTTER - BY WOULD LIKE SOME B – BEANUT PUTTER, PLEASE … ? " 

A spoon with a rather generous scoop of peanut butter layered into its bowl was then offered up to the adeptus, behind it a pair of innocent, hopeful eyes. She took another step closer to Xiao & struggled to keep balanced on her toes as she lifted the spoon as high as she could reach. 

" i … it's very nice beanut - putter! ve … vvv— very, very nice! "

" a … and it's for mr. fluh … mr. Flutter - by! " // ( it's happening 😭 I wrote this on a melatonin so I apologize if it's messy KDNSKDK for Xiao, too! if it wasn't obvious--who ELSE could be Mr. Flutter - by? 😏 skfmdodksk) 

Answered! || asdlfja;djk ARIIIII i'm weeping over her, she's so precious T~T 💕💖 thank you so much for sending this!

In his thousands of years of life, Xiao had seen things that mere mortals could scarcely dream of. Intimately, he knew what humans dreamed. He had survived unspeakable horrors and witnessed great wonders—no longer was he fazed by what the world could give on either end of the spectrum.

Steadfast. Unshakable.

...And yet, every time Ari approached him, all at once Xiao felt as if he knew nothing of the world.

Leave it to humans to find a way to faze him with their sheer absurdity.

"Don't come any closer." The first words to leave his mouth were not a greeting, nor an acknowledgement of the strange...offering? she carried. And yet, words that would be sharp for most were softened for her: a gentle, stern reminder that was reinforced by Xiao stepping back each time she stepped closer.

Only with a few feet of distance between them did golden eyes drop to the spoon that she seemed to want to force into his mouth. Lucky for the adeptus that she couldn't reach even if he would allow her close enough. "Adepti do not eat human food," he said, although the sidelong look he cast the spoon made obvious his questioning whether the pile of brown goop could be dubbed as such.

That should have been the end of it. But after a pause—

"It is kind of you, to bring me an offering—but unnecessary. If this...beanut putter—" Unfamiliar syllables fell awkwardly, leaving a distinct scrunch in the bridge of his nose, "—is 'nice,' you should enjoy it yourself."

Eye for whoever you see fit :3?

Ooo know who I'm gonna do this for.

Fun fact: even though my Eight and Three have pretty different facial features (Eight's face is round while Three has high cheekbones and just generally sharper features, Eight has medium-dark skin while Three is paler, Eight's tendrils are magenta while Three's are green (which are opposites on the color wheel, by the way), etc.) the one thing they have in common is their eyes—both of them have amber ones. It's mainly because I'm a nerd and like symbolism lol—see, despite all the differences in their appearance, despite them being from two different species, they have a similar (if not the same) eye color. Despite their backgrounds, despite their pasts, they have quite a lot in common. If everything else about their appearances highlights their differences, then their eye color highlights their similarities.

As for my other ocs, well—honestly I haven't decided on an eye color for most of them lol.

💋😊 for Cio & Ari?

Cio and Ari hours! Absolutely!! :D

💋 How affectionate are they with their friends? Their family? Their romantic partner(s) (if they have any)? Are they more physical or emotional when it comes to displaying their affection? Why?

Cio is pretty...carefully affectionate with most people, at least when it comes to physical affection. That comes not so much from a lack of trust in people or comfort with physical affection (although there's a little of the first involved) but more so because she's still a bit nervous that she's going to accidentally set someone's clothes on fire. She's slowly unlearning that fear post-Icebrood now that it's no longer a concern and is greatly enjoying being cuddly, particularly with Ari (who is also very happy about this development). And I kind of already answered this question, but generally more emotional!

Ari grew up being very physically affectionate with her 'bandmates, from hugs to wrestling to casual arms around the shoulders (she's the tallest from her warband, so that was pretty easy for her). She then went through the I'm-on-my-own-and-mostly-shut-down-because-of-it period of her life, in which she was not physically or emotionally open/affectionate with pretty much Anyone. By the time she and Cio meet in HoT, she's up there for the most touch-starved person of 1328 award. Cio was the first person she started to be able to casually touch again. These days she's back to being almost as openly physically affectionate as she was before, and is more open emotionally as well. I'd still say more physical overall for that last question, though!

😊 What can make your OC smile even when they’re feeling down? What cheers them up and makes everything feel better for them? Is your OC generally a happy person and do they enjoy making others smile? What about your OC makes others happy?

Cio enjoys tinkering as something to occupy her hands with and to distract her mind, so it's not quite something that makes her smile, but it is an effective distraction. Her brother tends to make her smile by starting some sort of good-natured argument with her over dragon magic or magitech, which isn't his field but is definitely hers. He usually learns something from it, and she enjoys explaining. Ari will (with her permission, of course) gladly scoop her away from situations, and just generally make her smile via affection or via them going outside to take a look at things. As for if Cio's generally a happy person...I suppose so? Not generally overly joyful, but she has a baseline of content these days. And she does enjoy making people she cares about smile. For that last point, plenty of things, but her sincerity and willingness to give compliments is the first thing that came to mind. She really isn't going to bullshit you--if she tells you what you're doing is impressive, it definitely is as far as she's concerned, and people know that.

Ari, at this point, can be made to smile almost always just by having Brook and Casca (her two remaining 'bandmates) in the same place as her. They've had discussions about the things that happened when they were younger (the gist of them being that none of them blamed the others for it), and at this point she just enjoys having their company again. Cio calling her "furball" will do it very quickly, as well. And if she's on her own, sometimes she'll make various patterns with her guardian magic as a reassurance and as something fun. (Not anything that would take magical affect, really, just like...drawing in the sky with a sparkler, kinda sorta.) Ari also has a basis of general contentment, these days, but historically...no, not really; being happy is something she's really really had to work for. She does indeed enjoy making a specific subset of folks smile, though. What about her makes others happy...first thing that came to mind was that when she cares about you, she cares all the way. She doesn't do halfway loving someone.

What’s your favorite character moment/scene for Shadow or/and Amy?

God please dont make me pick. Its so hard - They have so many!

I can't pick a favorite, but I do like moments where we see Amy get angry. The one scene in Sonic x where she nearly wrecks Eggman's airship on her own, or whens he threatens to turn Lyric intoa handbag in one of the Sonic Boom videogames. Compassion and kindness are her main traits but i love when we get to see her cut loose and go a little feral. Shadow's best moments are once where he actually interacts and seems to be friends iwth the main cast - Showing up for Sonic and Amy's birthdays, becoming a team with Omega and Rouge and a few scenes in Sonic Battle i think where he calls them his friends. Also any time he's got a chao with him, I think him getting to show his soft side is a nice change of pace for him.
