Brunhilde: Why do you put up with Buddha? Kintoki: Oh, um, you know. Because we're friends. Brunhilde: Why? Kintoki: Wow, you ask really hard questions. Look, I know he can be aggravating, but you have to remember he's not doing it on purpose. It's just how he is. Oh, but he's also loyal and trustworthy, and we have fun together. Brunhilde: You know you're describing a dog. Kintoki: He DID bite me once. But in his defense, I came up behind him while he was eating. Brunhilde, deadpan: They hate that.

Hello! I saw your yandere!Loki, can I request something similar for Buddha? Hopefully it’s ok! :)

Hello! I'm assuming that you mean something that has to do with a love potion! I might not be able to write a one shot but hopefully headcanons and a drabble are okay!

This is the same reader from the Yandere! Loki one shot and the same general concept of: the reader will only fall for someone who manages to beat her in a fight.

Yandere Buddha + Love Potions

- You truly embodied what it meant to be a champion of humanity in Buddha's eyes; determined, resilient, and hard to keep down.

-Buddha would realize instantly that he adored you and would try to get close to you, courting you the proper way and making his interest known.

- However, if you weren't interested in him then he'd suddenly have no idea how to pick up social cues.

- You step away from him when he puts his hand on your back? That's cool, he totally gets not being in the mood for physical touches today.

- You laugh uncomfortably with his flirty words? Aw, you're so adorably shy♥️

- But for the sake of the story, let's say that you were either truly unaware of his feelings or knew about them and waited for him to challenge you.

- When you were chosen to fight with a God before Tameemon Raiden, Buddha actually offered that instead of the Valkyries, he would perform Samavadhāna with you.

- And it felt amazing.

- He got to be one with you, he got to be close to you in a way no OTHER person, God or mortal, could ever hope to be.

- He thought his soul was already complete but when the battle was done and he separated from you, it felt like some part of him stayed with you. As if it didn't want to leave.

- He had given up all earthly desires in his life as a mortal, but a mortal he was no longer so surely...surely it wouldn't be wrong if let his feelings grow, right?

- So he did, he let his thoughts run wild with images of you and him together in his head. His calm and chill demeanor masking the burning obsession that told him he HAD to have you, he must claim you as his and he has to hear him call you yours. Please, it's all he could ever want.

- While Buddha is a god infatuated, he was not stupid. The length of his feelings was intense and he knew it wasn't right and thats why he tried to hide them.

- However, that resolve breaks when he finds out that you had fallen in love with someone else. Someone who was less deserving of your feelings, nevermind having your love in general was maddening to the Buddha.

- But Loki had challenged you to a battle and won. Buddha knew that this was how you always wanted to chose your lover.

- Yet, while you accepted the results of the battle and welcomed Loki with loving arms, the God who couldn't stand seeing the mortal whom he connected with would not stand for it.

"It's for their own good." He reminds him as he watches Aphrodite work. His blue eyes glinting when the pink light reflected from the heart shaped vial Aphrodite had put the potion in.

Yes...that's why he was doing this. It was for you, for your own best interest. The God of Deciet was not to be trusted, in fact, Buddha was more than 100% sure that Loki must have cheated during your battle with him and that is why you lost. Perhaps he didn't have any proof but he didn't need it given Loki's reputation. But he knew well enough that you were a stubborn human, something he still loved dearly about you. He could not let that green-haired punk ruin all that made you good, all that made Buddha love about you.

Aphrodite worked in silence, wondering to herself if this was real. If Buddha, the God who was once a mortal and gave up every desire in his body, was truly making her create a love potion for someone who already promised themselves to another. She wasn't aware Buddha had this side to him, it scared her, so she kept her mouth closed and didn't dare to say a word because if he was willing to do all this scheming over a measly mortal...what else would he be willing to do.

"Her love for you will be false." Aphrodite warned him, handing him the finished vial.

Buddha stared at the potion before nodding his head in acknowledgment of her words. Yes, he knew very well that there was going to be a catch...but it was better for you to be in love with him under the guidance of the love potion than for you to make the wrong choice of your volition.

"We were never here." He says lowly to Aphrodite, his tone of voice was casual as usual but he needed no words to convey that he was threatening her to stay silent unless she wanted to piss him off.

Yes, this was for you. Buddha was just concerned for you, that's why he had to do this. If you had realized during your time together when you were both bonded that you were both meant to be, he wouldn't have had to do this, but humans were often foolish.

This is why they needed Gods. Kind gods, who'd offer them a path to a better and more happier life.

This is why you needed him.

It was honestly too easy to get you to take the potion, after all, you had no reason to distrust the man with two hair colors. Buddha was your ally, who you fought as one with and who wanted to celebrate your newfound relationship. He watches eagerly as you accept the drink from him, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips as you down the entire cup. You then talk to him a little longer before looking at the time.

"I have to go but thank you!" You say cheerily, standing up to go meet up with your lover.

Buddha nods his head towards you, pouring himself a cup of tea and watching you from his peripheral. You walk only four steps before you feel yourself get dizzy, your feet stumbling before you. You were about to fall but one strong arm wraps around your waist and you feel a pair of lips on yours. Your half-lidded eyes slightly went wide with panic when you realized it was Buddha himself who was kissing you, but then that panic went away instantly.

Your eyes became softer, more docile, and before he knew it, you closed them completely and kissed him back with as much passion as he had kissed you.

He would deal with temper tantrums that your now forgotten lover would give him, he'd make sure you never see Loki again so he couldn't poison your mind with the false promises you two made to each other after your fight.

For you belonged to Buddha, you bonded with him, and he knew he couldn't live without you. He was willing to play every sneaky underhanded trick to have you in his arms because it was what was best for you. Or maybe it was because even after all those years of reaching enlightment, some part of him was still human...and you, unfortunately, just brought out the worst side of that humanity.

Um reader who’s one of big mom’s children and has whit lead disease and the ror gods/humans taking care of reader and trying to find a cure( if they do or not is up to you)

-You sniffled softly, being held in Raiden’s arms, wrapped in a blanket as you cried softly, clutching at his yukata, having a flare up.

-Ever since your mother disowned you for becoming infected with Amber Lead Syndrome, thinking you were contagious and not wanting you to pass it on to her other children, you found a home in Valhalla, with gods and powerful warriors.

-They all knew that your condition was not contagious, so they had no issues hugging you, giving you the comfort a child as young as you so desperately needed.

-Working together, Beelzebub and Nikola were searching for a cure, trying to find any information they could to help you.

-As your condition worsened, your skin slowly being covered with splotches of white, your hair slowly turning white, and you started to get sick more often, your family rotated in shifts, taking care of you, giving you comfort and love.

-Thor walked in, seeing Raiden holding you, “How’s Y/N?” the rikishi’s eyes were sad as he looked at you, “Not great, the fever finally broke but kid’s still in rough shape.”

-Running footsteps interrupted the conversation as Nikola ran in, slipping and crashing hard to the floor, “WE’VE GOT IT!!!” attention turned to the man on the ground as he was trying to stand, panting heavily as Beelzebub and Hades entered, panting like they had been running too, ran in.

-You felt so heavy, you couldn’t lift your head, but you did turn it as Beelzebub spoke, “We found a cure!” your eyes widened and instantly filled with tears, “Really?” they nodded, and Hades held out his hands to take you.

-Nikola explained that they found a way to extract the Amber Lead from your body, you would be weak afterwards, but you would be cured.

-You were a little scared, winding your hands into Hades’ shirt, “Will it hurt?” Beelzebub answered this time, “You’ll be asleep for it. You’ll go to sleep and when you wake up you’ll be in recovery.”

-Two days later you were hugging Adam, arms around his neck as he was carrying you to Beelzebub’s clinic, where he, Nikola, and Hades were going to be performing the procedure, Beelzebub being the one doing it while the other two just help.

-Poseidon stroked your hair gently, handing you the dolphin plush he had gotten for you as Kojiro spoke, giving you a big grin, “We’ll see you when you get up from your nap. Maybe we can convince Brunnhilde to let you have ice cream.”

-Your eyes were sparkling brightly, but nodded, still feeling nervous.

-It was three hours later when you finally woke up, feeling groggy and weak, just like how Nikola told you that you would feel like.

-The procedure was a success; all of the lead was removed, and you were now cured.

-Now begins the healing process, after you had ice cream, lots of healthy meals, going outside and playing, getting stronger and just being a kid again!

-Everything was going well, until your mother showed up, after she learned you had been cured, wanting you back. You refused, running to Buddha, leaping into his arms and instantly all of the gods and warriors put themselves between you and your mother.

-Zeus glared up at her, telling her that she lost you when she abandoned you when you needed her the most, she glared darkly, ready to fight, but so was your family.

-Your mother ended up leaving without a fight, and all of the guards were quickly made aware that she and your other siblings were not allowed to Valhalla, they weren’t going to risk you being taken.

-You loved your family, they helped you so much and now you get to live your life like a normal kid, having fun and being free.

actually making a solo post for this one because i think the sentai daishikkaku op is already a strong contender for not just op of the season but op of the year for me (and might be one of the most striking and memorable ops i've seen in several years)

pretty much every season there's at least one op song that goes hella hard and becomes my instant op of the season, but usually it's just the music (or primarily the music) that propels an op into first place for me

but this one! love the music for sure but it's the visuals that do it for me, the whole look and style of the op plus the themes? chef's kiss holy shit

there is something like... almost hauntingly beautiful about this to me. the puppet strings, the hands, the visages in the cracked glass, the stairs that don't go anywhere, the utter hopelessness of the shot in the palm of sousei's hand!! it captures the whole like hopelessness of fighter d's plight so well, but isn't a dreary op (just like it's a bleak but not dreary show)

anyway even if you aren't watching sentai daishikkaku this season i highly recommend giving this op a watch, it's so cool even as a standalone music video

Sengoku: We've given you ample time to complete this task and you come here with no results?

Big New Morgans: Coo coo~. We're misunderstanding each other Fleet Admiral. If you want your story to get to print, you’ll need to be a little more patient.

Sengoku's goat: >:0 BAAAAAAA

Sengoku: You're a heartless man Morgans

Big News Morgans: 😏😏 Don't need it. It gets in the way of good business-

[A sudden knock at the door and Vice Admiral Monkey D Garp stood in the doorway. And in his hands, picked up by her collar like a kitten, was a young Jackie.]

Sengoku: Garp we’ve talked about this. You can’t just pick up random children and make them enlist.

Garp: I'M NOT >:V! I found this one wandering the base without a care in the world

Big News Morgans: …

Jackie: 👋🏾 Hiya Boss

Big New Morgans: Jiminy Crickets and Lemony Snickets kid at least have the decency to look guilty!

Jackie: Guilty?

Big News Morgans: I told you to stay on the ship.

Jackie: Noooo you said “It's probably best for you to stay on the ship.”

Big News Morgans: *pinching the bridge of his nose* You knew what I meant.

Jackie: 😗😗 I say what’s done is done and let’s just move on and- Is that a goat? *drops down*

Sengoku's goat: :D BAAAAAAAAAA

Garp: *impressed whistle* She's like a mini-Morgans

Jackie: *petting the goat* I resent that. I am way cuter than him.

Sengoku: *clears his throat to stifle laughter* So Morgans….you have a kid?

Big News Morgans: No this is just a Jackie.

Jackie: 🤨🤨 I'm not a species y'know *turns to Sengoku* He's my guardian I guess.

Sengoku: Legally?

Jackie: I'm 95% sure there was paperwork involved

Big News Morgans: Yeah I have her receipt

Sengoku: Receipt? Jackie sweetheart, Is Morgans a good guardian? Is he nice to you?

Big News Morgans: Whatever you’re fishing for you’re not finding it Senny, tell him how happy you are since I took you under my wing Jackie.

[Silence]

Big News Morgans: Terrible time to test out your comedienne act kid.

Jackie: 😇😇 Mr Morgans treats me well I promise! Even though he’s a complete grump a lot of the time, I'm really happy I got the new life I did! Sometimes I wonder how I'll repay him for this kindness.

Big News Morgans: You could listen to me every once in awhile.

Jackie: *sucks in breath* Anything else?

Big News Morgans: *exasperatedly rolls eyes* Jackie, ship.

Jackie: Fiiiiiiine but I was promised rice crackers for the road. It was a pleasure to meet you and your goat Mr Sengoku! Bye for now!

Sengoku's Goat: :,3 BA BAAAAAAAAA

Sengoku: The pleasure was all mine Jackie, goodbye.

[Garp and Jackie leave the room. Sengoku watches as Morgans’s fluffs up as he good naturedly mutters about ‘distractions’.]

Sengoku: ..No heart indeed.

"Who's Hotter?" One Piece: When They Were Young

[jupiterovprsten]

Big Buddha Temple, Koh Samui

[akkivee]

probably one of the most important verses in terminus i think and yeah, it’s just kuukou’s way of life but also it’s kuukou’s way of life lmao

in probably over half of the stories kuukou’s in, there’s a point of how kuukou’s too inexperienced to be able to guide/lead properly;

he leaves home to show how good of a leader he is and finds out real quick lol

shakku assigns jyushi’s training to kuukou so he can be better

kuukou hits a wall training jyushi bc he’s relying on the only experience he’s had with training and isn’t looking at jyushi properly

that ‘blindness’ is the root of his conflict in harmonious cooperation, he blindly assumes he can solve jyushi and hitoya’s problems really quick and shakku literally chews him out over it, saying he’s young and to value the journey getting there (it also bears pointing out that the above verse is kuukou not rushing ahead as means of enrichment, but walking and resting)

i personally believe the curry drama tracks have been hinting at this round of drama track developments, and y’all don’t understand lmao, the way jyushi and hitoya were thinking it’d be nice if the people eating their curry could feel the effort that went into it was followed by the most poignant silence, only for kuukou to grouch there’s no point if they aren’t experiencing it themselves just feels like it’s relevant lol

like it all just comes back to kuukou and using his experience to guide. so about that ‘yesterday’s shaky retreat’ verse in terminus, it was pointed out that kuukou had said something very similar in young gun of the sun

and young gun of the sun is literally kuukou guiding based on how he knows what it’s like to suffer (and to feel so bad about a mistake he wants to die), so all this to say i think that verse is literally nothing but kuukou finding forgiveness in himself for something he did, and maybe that past mistake was so severe he thought the end of his life was the best answer
