#They're obviously not having a good times

[lacyblades]

౨ৎ virgin!reader who really wants fratboy!satoru to take her v-card.

"just the tip," you breathe, the words a soft plea against his lips. they're swollen and tender from his kisses, and his fingers gently brush a stray strand of hair from your flushed cheek. you're perched so prettily on his lap, your pupils blown wide, face flushed.

satoru clicks his tongue, shaking his head, a small, regretful smile playing on his lips. "sorry, cherry. no can do."

a frustrated whine escapes you, a puff of warm air against his skin. "but… why?"

"because," he says, his thumbs lightly tracing the curve of your jaw, "it never ends up being just the tip. the second i try to do what you want, i know i'll cave." he playfully squishes your cheeks together, forcing a pout that doesn't quite reach your heated eyes.

"well, is that such a bad thing?" you ask, your voice thick with lust. "don't you want to have sex with me?"

"obviously, i want to have sex with you," satoru says, a low chuckle rumbling in his chest as he rolls his eyes. "i just… i want us to take it slow, okay?"

you groan, throwing your head back in exasperation. "seriously? we've been taking it slow. just. the. tip. baby steps, right?"

satoru chews on his bottom lip, feeling shameful for even considering it. he'd promised himself he wouldn't rush this, that he'd give you the best first time possible. you deserve that.

but then there you are. his girl. right here. your discarded shirt lies on the floor, and the lace of your bra does little to hide the tempting press of your perky nipples. it isn't entirely his fault if his resolve is crumbling.

and crumble it does.

"just the tip," he repeats, his voice a husky murmur, his gaze dropping and then flicking back to yours, heavy with unspoken need. he's hovering over you now, the slick head of his cock aligned perfectly with your glistening pussy.

"yeah, yeah," you mumble, impatient, your hands reaching up to hook around his neck, your legs instinctively wrapping around his waist.

"cherry, i mean it," he says, his eyes locked on yours, a warning and a plea all in one.

"uh-huh. can you just… can you put it in now?"

satoru sighs, the sound laced with a mock reluctance that does little to hide the tremor in his hands as he grips your thighs. it's just the tip, a gentle press against your slick folds, and a gasp escapes your lips, a feeling of fullness hitting instantly.

he finds himself mentally reciting the names of this year's football teams, a desperate attempt to cling to some semblance of control, to not climax this early. and he's supposed to be the experienced one.

"'toru," you whine, your inner muscles clenching around him, a delicious squeeze that sends a jolt of pure pleasure through him. his hand comes up to gently caress your cheek, his thumb stroking the soft skin, and you lean into his touch.

"shit, cherry," he grunts, his control fraying at the edges. "please don't squeeze like that. i c— can barely…"

"you— you should just put all of it in," you whisper, your fingers tangling in his impossibly white hair, tugging gently.

"no," he mumbles, the denial a weak protest. keeping you away from this sweet release, even though you could probably come from this alone. "you feel so good. so… so tight."

"all the more reason—"

"no." this isn't how it's supposed to happen. your first time deserves more than a stolen moment in the middle of a forgotten study session. there should be flowers, maybe candles… it should be perfect.

he's already made up his mind, the decision firm despite the insistent throb of his cock. satoru’s thumb brushes lightly across your swollen clit, and a small whimper escapes your lips.

"satoru, i really need you." and then you look up at him, your eyes glossed with unshed tears, desperate and raw.

fuck it.

as long as it's here, with you, it'll be perfect. besides, he vaguely remembers seeing some dusty candles in the back of the storage closet.

"Like" is an approximation word most of the time, when used like this, and I don't think enough people recognize or appreciate exactly how much tonal heavy lifting it's doing.

For example:

"There were, like, 200 people at the party" means you're guessing there were maybe 200. It's a really rough ballpark figure, you obviously didn't take a headcount. There could've been 80, there could've been 300, depending on how good you are at fudging random estimates and how chaotic the party was. No one's judging you if you were wildly off in your estimate.

"There were 200 people at the party" means you have a pretty good idea of exactly how many people were there. You might give or take ten or so either direction for the sake of rounding, but you are clearly talking about reasonably 200 people. If your number was significantly off from 200, people would assume you were either misinformed or lying.

'Like' can also approximate whole behaviors and reactions, and indicate how outwardly they're being expressed.

"I was like, what the fuck" is a generalized statement of your reaction. You might've said 'what the fuck', you might've kept that reaction entirely to yourself. It could include expressions, emotions, whole conversations... or not. 'Like' here is glossing over the details of exactly what you said or did.

"And I said 'what the fuck' " is explicitly an outward statement/reaction. You SAID ALOUD 'what the fuck', which leaves no ambiguity as to what exactly you said or did.

I think 'like' is underrated and fascinating, is what I'm saying.

the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight

ANYWAY. STATS AND UH I HAVE TO REMIND YOU NOT TO GAMBLE AND STUFF it's almost 3am and the adhd is kicking my ass in sorry

So like I'm always saying!

Gacha is gambling and gambling is a serious and legitimate addiction. Gacha games are designed to prey on that addiction and the ease of spending money in this format and FOMO. Set limits! Keep an eye on your spending! Stick to your limits! Remember that every unit so far has rerun eventually and these will be the same! If you find yourself struggling with gacha addiction, seek gambling addiction recovery! (Also, same with smoking, since we've got that imagery going. I know it's hard out there but you'll thank yourself for it the sooner you can find something else to soothe you.)

My Japanese is like kindergarten level on a good day, take my translations with a grain of salt. The localization team are paid to do their jobs, they know what they're doing most of the time.

If you're considering pushing back against the people who're using you, this is your sign to do it. Get out of that bad situation. The time is now.

Oh and here are the stats!

Hi Molly! Congrats on your book and all of the exciting stuff happening in your corner; long-time listener/first-time caller here, it is fantastic to see you putting art of all kinds out into the world. If you're at all inclined, would you be willing to talk a little about how you got into the studio to record your albums? How did you choose your producer or studio/what was the process working with studio musicians like? How fleshed out were the demos that you brought in, in terms of instrumentation/polish/etc.? I'm very curious, as I'm slowly amassing songs I'd like to record, but have no idea where to start/what to expect. Thanks!!!

hello my sweet! i'm happy to talk about this, although i'm not sure how replicable my ~process is.

i originally started recording because at my mom's house, whenever she has a party, it almost always devolves into everybody playing music and messing around. and at one of these, my mom's friend john, who is a professional musician (slash deep-sea fisherman), was like, hey you're actually pretty good do you want me to introduce you to a producer i know who lives on the island (my mom lives on an island). and i was like.....sure. so in terms of "choosing" a studio or a producer i don't have any good insight for you because i was just like. introduced to a man named greg, who i happened to vibe with super well and everything just kind of worked out.

that being said! there are a ton of websites where you can put in your location and pick from profiles; the one i think has the best rep is SoundBetter.

most of my songs were pretty fleshed out, in terms of lyrics/melody/structure, and i worked with greg to be like, okay, now that i can hire people to do stuff, what would i want to build this song into? (for example, mile magnificent has an accordion in it. i do not play the accordion.) plus, i am good enough at the instruments that i play that i can make myself a demo that's like ... "this is how i want the song to go, and the vibe i'm looking for," but i certainly can't shred on guitar or whatever, so most of the songs (except a couple) i hired a guitarist to play it. or made my brother do it, because he's a very gifted instrumentalist (bastard).

but there were certainly bits where i was like, "i like the meat of this song but i don't love what i'm doing on the bridge" or whatever, and then it was a matter of messing around in the studio to figure out what worked better.

this also means there's songs where i'm sharing songwriting credit with (for example) greg, because he meaningfully contributed to changing something about the song. that's something we worked out based on vibes after the fact, but don't do that. that worked out for me but it's not like. an actual process you should follow. you should be clear with the person you're working with and they should be clear with you.

really the number one thing i think probably is important is you find someone to work with who you like. you could have, idk, jack antonoff or whatever, but if you guys don't vibe, it's going to be a bad experience, and you're probably not going to end up with music that feels authentic to you. so that's what i'd say in terms of choice.

final thing: i don't have a record label, which means that i paid for all of my music. greg very sweetly didn't charge me for studio time, but most people probably will, plus for whatever services they're rendering (musicians, mastering, production, etc etc). it's a sliding scale of cost, but obviously the harder you go the bigger the expense. i want to be transparent about that. i was able to pay to play because i was able to pay to play.

recording in a studio with a producer is one way to do it but it's an expensive way if you don't have a label (and even, frankly, if you DO have a label). and you don't make a lot of money streaming, so it's income you probably won't get back (unless you blow up!). i would say i make between $200 - $400 from streaming, every ... few months? and don't get me wrong, that's great, i'm very grateful! but the cost going in was like. $9k (about $3k per album). so given all of my streams, which is more than 2 million, even using the highest streaming revenue it took me 2 years to make back.

if that's not possible for you, there are TONS of ways you can do it yourself. it won't be the same experience! but the product can end up just as great, and honestly sometimes better. for example there's stuff like:

soundtrap (probably the best non-Logic Pro track builder, not free though)

audacity (no-frills, but free)

cakewalk (free! and very intuitive.)

all of these can help you record yourself. and sure, you CAN buy all the fancy microphones and stuff, but frankly, you don't have to. iphones & computers etc have gotten to the point where you can do really good work with just those. so i don't want the money stuff to discourage you, i just want you to go in with your eyes open.

i hope this helps!!!

Pope Francis didn’t just talk about climate change a few times—he wrote whole encyclicals on it, the first one 20 years ago!! That one is Laudato Si, and then he wrote a follow-up called Laudato Deum in 2023.

20 years ago and he was dropping bars like “This sister [Mother Earth] now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her. We have come to see ourselves as her lords and masters, entitled to plunder her at will. The violence present in our hearts, wounded by sin, is also reflected in the symptoms of sickness evident in the soil, in the water, in the air and in all forms of life. This is why the earth herself, burdened and laid waste, is among the most abandoned and maltreated of our poor; she “groans in travail” (Rom 8:22). We have forgotten that we ourselves are dust of the earth (cf. Gen 2:7); our very bodies are made up of her elements, we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters.” (Link)

(I do a little bit of yapping on Pope Francis and Catholic Church politics under the cut)

Pope Francis obviously wasn’t perfect, and while that doesn’t absolve him from responsibility, he has been inclusive to openly gay priests (so long as they remain celibate alongside their straight counterparts) and said “If they [gay priests] accept the Lord and have goodwill, who am I to judge them? They shouldn't be marginalized. The tendency [same-sex attraction] is not the problem... they're our brothers.” (Link - which shows a range of quotes on differing LGBT topics.) This is a great direction to go in, and he’s been saying stuff like this since 2013. There’s a reason people call him disgusting names like “antipope” and worse, and why sedevacantists were able to pick up so many homophobes in this time. (Sedevacantists believe that there was no legitimate pope during Pope Francis’s papacy and even beforehand; they’re associated with Vatican II denial and right wing rhetoric; “sede vacante” = seat vacant, which it actually is, but only because Pope Francis passed away. Link.)

As a Catholic myself, Pope Francis’s actions and words have been an incredible step in the right direction. Last year he held the Synod on Synodality (link), which has been described as the most important event in the Catholic Church since Vatican II (link). Women and other laity were able to vote in a synod for the first time ever, and though we can’t tell for sure what the concrete changes are going to be, if any, this is what conservative Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller had to say about it—he said that "some in the assembly are 'abusing the Holy Spirit' in order to introduce 'new doctrines' such as an acceptance of homosexuality, women priests, and a change in Church governance." (Link)

Catholics are, by far, not one-size-fits-all. Within the Church, we have different theologies and philosophies and viewpoints stretching back centuries or more. For example, the Jesuits—of which Pope Francis was one—are well-known for their focus on social justice since their 32nd General Council under Father Arrupe in the 1970s (link), which has roots in their Jesuit heritage going back to their work with confraternities, hospitals, missionaries, and more in the 1500s on. Some people might remember Fr. Daniel Berrigan, SJ, who, among others, burned draft records and broke into and vandalized nuclear weapon manufacturing during the Vietnam War and other events going on in the mid-to-late 1900s. The Jesuits also have a history in Latin America, where many were killed after CIA-backed coups put in right-wing military dictatorships in the ‘80s. The Jesuit Refugee Service is still giving humanitarian aid to people along these routes and even in Nicaragua, where all Jesuits have been expelled and Catholics are very much censored.

Anyway, I digress. Sorry for going on a bit of a side tangent. My main point was that Catholics can be conservative, but also have been moving in a good direction for quite some time. Those who tend to appreciate going forward also tend to appreciate Pope Francis. Those who tend to prefer what many will picture when they think of Catholicism (as strict only-Latin Mass judgy heretic-haters) will tend to be less favorable toward him, or even go so far as to say some truly despicable things. My point is, I agree with the previous points that—while no one is under any obligation to stop disagreeing with someone or to like someone—‘perfect’ tends to kill ‘better.’

Pope Francis cannot be said to be conservative within the bounds of the Catholic Church—outside of it, that’s up to others, but inside, his announcements and quotes have been very straightforward in advocating for social justice, an end to war (notably, recently, and repeatedly he called for peace in Gaza—link), real action against climate change, an end to the mass-deportations in the USA (and in 2016 said that anyone who builds a wall to keep out migrants is “not Christian”—link), and a love for all of our neighbors.

I can’t police what anyone thinks about him, and while he has said things before that people can be upset about, he has also said many things that people would appreciate and agree with. I personally would say that he is progressive—and moreso than many secular progressives I’ve seen in the modern day. Obviously he couldn’t do everything that he wanted to, but he did a lot, and I appreciate him for being a good role model for the youth of the Catholic Church today.

fondly remembering when pope francis said he hopes hell is empty. top pope francis moments. right up there with him saying some seminaries are too faggy

HOW I MANIFEST PHYSICAL CHANGES ✴︎ the simplified way

my credentials? in the ugly old story, i was someone naturally chubby and with no curves at all, literally rectangle shaped, yet the law allowed me to have a perfectly curved small waist. not only that, i had the deadest hair ends ever due to consistently dying it, but i'm so attached to my hair length the thought of cutting it sends shivers down my spine. cut to — my current perfect healthy silky smooth hair.

anyways, so. manifesting physical changes. contrary to a big part of the community, i find this one of the easiest things to manifest.

there's two ways you can go on about this: manifest a change or revise.

the first way, all you need to do is visualize. you can do this any way you want, looking at pictures, editing your photos, imagining, pick anything. literally all you need is imagination.

the important thing here is: you're not visualizing to get that. you're visualizing because you already have that. this is key!

there's no difference between your imagination and the physical, actually, the physical is simply your imagination being reflected, being materialized. everything that exists was once mere imagination. the moment you imagine something, boom, it's real.

so whenever you visualize it, know you have it. be confident. when looking for results, you're indirectly reinforcing the idea that it's something you want, not something you have, and you'll be stuck in an endless chase.

and obviously, persist in your visualization. affirmations are good too. whenever you catch thoughts that serve the old story, correct them. do whatever you want in order to persist in the desire until it stops feeling like a desire and starts feeling naturally yours.

in the second way, revision, you'll be changing your past too.

the only proof the past exists is your memory. luckily for all of us, reality is malleable, and our mind is insanely powerful.

essentially, the process is the same as the first one, except you'll look at your desired changes as something you have always had. as something you were born with.

besides visualizing, you can also try to feel it. close your eyes and try and feel as if your body is exactly how you desire, familiarize yourself with this feeling.

repeating myself here, but once again, persist. let go of the old story, of the old past, rewrite your story and persist until there's not a doubt in the world that it is your.

now, if we're talking about methods, i'm going to be honest, i don't really use any.

i think they're totally fine and i see why they're such a big help for some people, but they are NOT necessary. at all. also, this a personal mindset of mine, but it if they're not necessary, why would i do something i don't need to? for me, that just reinforces the idea that i don't have that, why would i go through hoops and loops to get something i already have? would you do a method to have the ability to read? to have a phone in your hands right now? no, because you know you have all those things, duh.

the only thing i do that can be considered a method is making vision boards on pinterest. i do these with the intention of familiarizing myself. i look & visualize so i can really get a grasp of the details, of how it looks, of how it feels, etc. make it feel completely normal to me, like second nature.

i hope this post could help you all and make you understand that manifesting physical changes isn't hard or time consuming. it's easy. and it's all within you. ♡

[laserbobcat]

what is the relation between Narinder and the yellow cat ? If the yellow cat knows about Leshy, does he know about who is really Narinder ?

Ayoooo I ended up lore dumping HEAVILY about Morgan's entire backstory, so I'm masking it to avoid a lengthy post:

While not a disciple, Morgan is one of the oldest followers and knows quite a lot. He doesn't try and pry into the Lamb's business, but he ends up learning things from observation, or Thena, the Lamb and their spouses talking to him.

Morgan secretly hates gods, but is also entirely devoted to the Lamb. He has been since the moment they saved him from serving in the chaos cult, where his brother was killed. He tries his best being useful despite not sincerely praying for the One Who Waits, and feels guilty about what he considers is tricking his leader. He tries to make up for it by being extra kind and hard working. Morgan is the head tailor, and the one who created all of the Lamb's fleeces, that the lamb then enchants with a talisman. He's 100% on board with them killing gods, and hopes that maaaaaaybe they will cut their own in two eventually. No more gods, the dream.

He's obviously very happy with how things turned out, only one wooly god left whom he can actually trust. And the former god of death turned to just some dude is perfect, since the Lamb seems happy. And that's still one more god off the board. He just avoids him.

---

Now for Leshy, the Lamb killed him, so this new green guy has to be just another weird one like the witnesses right? The resemblance has to be a coincidence right? Let's be kind, he seems lost and on edge, and Morgan is good at putting people at ease.

When he realizes that Leshy is Leshy, he looses it and tries to straight up murder him. Huge serious bloody dangerous fight. The lamb stops both of them just before they tear each other appart, and takes Morgan aside to apologize. They should have known it would end up like this, since Morgan suffered so much in the chaos cult. But they were busy with Narinder losing his shit over his brother's presence and hoped Morgan wouldn't recognize him. They feel guilty about the whole thing, while Morgan is mortified that he lost control and ended up being a problem.

That's when the Lamb admits that they knew all along about Morgan not really praying and not being faithful to TowW, and admits to reading minds sometimes. They hoped he would just change his mind. And they genuinely like him. The reason why they started resurrecting him, is because they heard him think "Damn I hate gods so much, can't wait to stop pretending and tell TowW to go fuck himself when I die" and they freaked out. Narinder would 100% send him to hell. So they didn't let him spend more than a second in front of him and resurrected Morgan immediately. (I want to draw this as a fun comic)

They apologize for not talking about this sooner, since it let Morgan feel guilty all this time. But Morgan, far from being angry, is even more touched by the Lamb's kindness for caring about him all this time even though they knew the truth about his lack of faith.

This lifts a huge weight off of his shoulders, and he realizes he's not that angry anymore. He even start to help Leshy adapt, at first to take it off the Lamb's list of things to worry about, but ending up actually liking the idiot. Leshy says Morgan is the only fun person around and does everything he can to trigger him into figthing him. I already drew a lot of these in comics.

---

Cuts to way later in the timeline, when Leshy and Morgan start to really get along.

Morgan gets really pissed at Narinder when he has to break up a fight between him and Leshy. He's furious at both their lack of gratefulness for the Lamb's kindness, and that the brothers dared to fight while they're gone on a crusade and isn't there to stop them. Gods are giant moody, selfish toddlers. Narinder is extra offended to be talked down this hard by a mortal, and asks him disdainfully if he has a death wish. Morgan loses it pretty much the same way he did when first fighting Leshy, and tells him that bitch you're mortal too now. How does it feels? Need to compensate with a big knife on a stick? Death wish you say? It's funny because death wishes are none of your concern anymore. You're insignificant. I could wipe the floor with your face and shove your scythe up your ass. When Morgan gets angry, he gets really angry.

Narinder is obviously seeing red at this point but Leshy, of all people, de-escalate the situation by dragging Morgan away, fast, and playing the "Chill, Brother, your lil Lamb would not like one of his favorite followers being murdered" card. Narinder is left seething, but does not follow.

Funny enough, it's Leshy's turn to be legit angry. About Morgan making Narinder mad enough that he would try to kill him. And that, while Leshy likes to trigger his brother into fights for shit and giggles, and knows to backpedal when things get too serious, Morgan just loses control completely and goes for the throat. Morgan is so astonished at Leshy's anger that he completely calms down, and is curious as to why the hell does he care. Leshy insists that Morgan does not fuck with his brother ever again, and Morgan promises, just so he can ask him again why is he so serious about this all of a sudden. Leshy deflates a bit and admits that if Narinder hurts the cat, he will forget about "shit an giggles" and the Lamb's threats about behaving, and actually try to gut his brother for good this time. Morgan is left a bit speechless and Leshy flees awkwardly, which makes Morgan even more puzzled.

The day after, the lamb is back, and Morgan gives Narinder a very polite and very fake apology about being rude and disrespectful to his Leader's friend and promises it won't happen again. Narinder doesn't really know how to react, he's constantly surprised that his Lamb's favorite followers are all annoying crazy freaks. he's so done at this point. he understands better why his brother likes the cat.

Yooooooooooo i just. Full backstory dump. I was supposed to write this before, i guess it's done now! The asks really trigger the ramblings lol. You can't say one thing without explaining the whole shebang...

Had a lovely user wanting more whatsapp, but adding Jack in.

Enjoy

Scene: McKay organises a night out and Whittaker taddles on Mohan and Jack.

Dr Robbys Sad Boi Bitches

McKay: paydayyyyyy 🤑. Raise of hands, who's keen on drinks tonight at Paddy's Bar?

Mel: oh fun! Will they have tea there?

Robby: they do have tea. Quite a selection.

You: you know where else they have tea? At the old folks home. Half a mile north of Paddys.

Victoria: burn. Also I can't come. Legally.

McKay: Matteo is babysitting Harrison for me. You can play families with him if you like 👨‍👩‍👧

Victoria: Does he like strawberry milk?

McKay: Harrison? Sure I guess.

Victoria: I meant Matteo. I can bring some for Harrison too.

Jack: Jeezus. This is more painful than the time my leg was blown off. I'll be there at 9.

Robby: who's the night attending if you're coming?

Jack: fucked if I know. Why do you care?

Robby: wow it was just a question.

Trinity: why is there always sexual tension between you two?

Dana: it's been this way since the dawn of time.

You: which is when they were born.

Victoria: burn!

Mel: tagalog to English for anyone playing along at home. "Told you they were doing it. $20 it's nasty".

Mel: wait what's nasty?

Whittaker: I feel both uncomfortable and responsible.

Trinity: so you should.

Mel: what's nasty? Guys?

----

Robby sent you a text shortly after.

Are we 'nasty'?

Lol not even close. We're sickeningly adorable.

Phew.

Why?

The thought of someone speaking like that about you kind of hurts.

Let's be honest, Mohan and Jack are definitely getting down and extremely dirty. Good on them, so long as they're both happy and neither of them get an injury. I know you two are 20 years into this milleniums greatest bromance, but you don't want to be wrist deep pulling a toy from Jack's clownhole.

That's disgusting.

Let em play. They'll be fine. Love you.

Love you too. Be home at 8:30

Pastries for the soul

It's been just a week since Izuku opened his bakery; it's in a very small place because it's the only thing he can afford at the moment (he's in debt of course, but at least he hopes he can pay it all out soon).

He hasn't gotten many clients; his friends tell him he should use Instagram and tiktok to help his business grow, and Izuku is thinking about the best way to do it.

Then, that same morning, as he places a few pastries over the counter, some of them on plates and others inside very cute boxes, someone walks into his bakery.

Usually, people don't start coming until much later, but he takes it as a good sign and smiles happily at him.

The tall and muscular man is wearing a grey shirt that's tight against his body and loose but very fashionable black pants. Even though he's wearing a cap, Izuku can see underneath it a bit of blond hair. He can't see his face yet because he's facing outside through the crystal door, but at least he notices he's wearing shades.

Even though his behavior is a bit weird, Izuku greets him with joy.

"Good morning, sir! How can I–"

"Shut up, nerd!"

There's noise that quickly turns into words and people talking outside as well as footsteps, and the young, blond man quickly turns around before sitting at one of the few tables Izuku has in his bakery.

Then Izuku sees a man with a video camera and a woman carrying a small microphone on her hand, rushing down the street like they're looking for someone. When they're gone, the blond suddenly relaxes.

"She's so irritating," the guy mumbles, looking annoyed.

And that's when Izuku finally recognizes him; he's wearing civilian clothes, but that's clearly pro hero Dynamight, in his bakery.

He goes through a lot of emotions (he's a fanboy at heart), but even though he gets excited, the feeling goes quickly because he tells himself that Dynamight gets exasperated around annoying fans (Izuku has seen a few of his interviews and videos taken by civilians) and he's probably hiding there because he obviously wants to have a normal day for once.

Then, when Izuku realizes why the pro hero has walked in his bakery for, he visibly deflates.

"I suppose you're not here for the cupcakes, right?" He tries to smile, but honestly, it hasn't been a good week.

"Listen, nerd..." He stops, removing his sunglasses, pausing for a moment as he finally takes a good look at Izuku.

"It's okay," the green haired man says, trying not to sound too sad, but he's clearly not doing a good job. "I think the reporter is finally gone, so you can leave whenever you want."

Dynamight keeps staring at him for a few seconds before he curses under his breath.

"I don't like overly sweet stuff, but my idiot friends do so why don't you give me five muffins, four of those ridiculously decorated cupcakes and a few brownies."

"Really?" Izuku beams, excited at the amount of pastries the pro hero is going to buy.

Dynamight nods, although his cheeks turn slightly pink for a moment before he looks away. Izuku assumes he's getting annoyed, so he hurries up to fulfill his order before he regrets it.

"You should try one of the brownies yourself; they're made with dark chocolate mostly. I promise they're not too sweet!"

Dynamight doesn't seem very enthusiastic about the idea, but when he notices Izuku's hopeful smile, he takes one and bites into it.

The surprised look on his face makes Izuku beam again.

"This is not bad at all," the pro hero comments before eating the whole thing in a few seconds. "I want a black coffee too."

Happily, Izuku turns around to make it, as he hears the pro hero getting closer to the counter.

"So... what's your name? I can't keep calling you nerd every single time, even though you clearly are one."

He sounds amused, so Izuku doesn't actually mind. When he turns around and hands him the coffee, the pro hero's fingers brush his hand for a second.

"I'm Midoriya Izuku."

"Bakugo Katsuki," the pro hero smirks, leaning closer.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dynamight-san."

"So you know who I am..."

Even if Izuku wasn't a fanboy, Dynamight is currently the number one hero, so he bets all of Japan knows who he is.

"Yes, I–"

"But don't call me that," Bakugo grimaces at his own hero name. Izuku finds it confusing; he thought he was very proud of it.

"Alright, Bakugo-san."

"That's even worse! Call me Katsuki."

Izuku gets flustered immediately and blushes to the tip of his ears, the pro hero clearly notices because his red eyes glimmer with amusement.

"But..."

"Come on, Izuku," Katsuki grins, watching as the green haired young man turns even more red. "It's only fair. I'm using your given name already."

"Kacchan?"

"What?"

Izuku can't help but chuckle; he honestly has no idea how that came out of his mouth. It's like his kid self is meeting Katsuki for the first time. He's a bit embarrassed, and he probably has to apologize, but at the moment, he's too amused by his own silly behavior and Katsuki's slightly irritated expression to say anything.

The pro hero's expression softens before Izuku can apologize.

"Fine. You can call me that, if you want." Katsuki says, looking like he's trying to suppress a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'll try to–"

"It's fine, Izuku," he cuts him off, handing him a lot of money. "I don't mind."

Izuku opens the cash register, but the pro hero shakes his head and refuses to take his change.

"Keep it."

"But..."

"You can give me your number instead," it's the second time Katsuki's cheeks turn pink, but now he's also rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"Sure!" Izuku is excited to hand his card for the first time. "Here's the bakery's socials too!"

"That's not what I meant," Katsuki grumbles for a moment before noticing something on the pink card. "Is this your personal number?"

"Yes, I just started, so I don't have another for my clients, but I don't mind using that as a work phone too!"

"Great. I'll text you soon, Izuku." Katsuki smirks again, carrying all the boxes and his coffee with ease.

Even though it was a bit unusual at first, Izuku is sure this encounter will bring good luck to his business.

Soon after that, a couple of young people walk into the bakery and buy two cakes.

He'll probably won't see Katsuki again, but Izuku is glad he met the pro hero.

He can't wait to tell his friends.

***

Izuku gets a new text when he's closing the bakery; he immediately realizes it's from Katsuki even though he lets him know until the very end.

So you can add my number.

The three dots stay for a while before he adds: This is Kacchan btw.

It makes Izuku giggle and blush, although he's not sure why. He's just happy to have a new friend; maybe he's flustered because he's the number one hero.

Then the pro hero asks him to send him another text when Izuku is back at home.

When he's back in his apartment, he lets Katsuki know he's alright; he also asks if the pro hero is at home too.

I'm on patrol.

Of course, Izuku is not sure why he didn't think about that first.

I'll let you work. He texts and then, after a moment of hesitation, he adds: Be safe.

I will. Goodnight, Izuku.

After that night, the pro hero starts texting him every single day; Izuku doesn't mind, of course (he actually likes it), but he's surprised that Katsuki seems interested in being friends with someone so normal and simple as him.

He has no idea Izuku is quirkless. Although he doesn't seem the type to care about those kind of things.

A week after meeting him, Katsuki comes back to the bakery, and he has to deal with the curious stares of the people buying Izuku's pastries, but no one is brave enough to approach him.

This time, he's wearing his hero suit; Izuku is fascinated.

"Like what you see, nerd?" Katsuki smirks, despite looking very tired. He probably came after the end of his shift.

Izuku nods after his last client reluctantly leaves.

"Can I see your gauntlets?"

"Sure."

He has to walk around the counter to get a better look. Briefly, Katsuki explains to him how they work.

"That's amazing!"

"It's thanks to Hatsume, actually," he mumbles after a while. "But I'm the one who looks cool with them."

"You do!" Izuku beams, prompting Katsuki to blush again. "I've seen you on the news!"

For some reason, the pro hero seems so dammed pleased after that. Like he actually cares about Izuku's opinion.

"So my friends liked your pastries," Katsuki says after a while. "I've come for more. And more of those brownies."

"Black coffee?"

"That too."

While Izuku is working on his order, Katsuki asks about his week; it's been a good one, actually. More people have come to the bakery after Izuku started posting a few things on his Instagram.

"What about you?"

"Kicking villains' asses, as usual," the pro hero says, making Izuku chuckle. Katsuki can't help but grin triumphantly when he hears Izuku's laughter.

"Of course you do. You're the number one, after all."

"And I will be next year's too."

Izuku likes his confidence.

"There you go." He smiles before handing Katsuki his boxes.

"Are you free tonight?" The pro hero asks, his words are rushed, and he's blushing as he rubs the back of his neck at the same time. He looks a bit nervous.

"I am!" Izuku nods. "Would you like to hang out?"

"Yeah. We can have dinner together."

"Sure!" He says immediately, prompting Katsuki to smile back at him. He looks hopeful.

"Great. I'll come back for you in a few hours. Have a... nice day."

Izuku has the feeling Katsuki is not used to saying things like that, especially based on his interviews.

But he appreciates the effort.

"You too! See you tonight!"

He's so happy. Izuku officially has a new friend now.

***

"Do you want to hang out tonight?"

Izuku immediately puts Shinso on speaker so he can keep decorating the cupcakes he made for that afternoon; they're not burning hot anymore so it's okay to start with the icing.

"I'm sorry. Can we do that tomorrow? I have plans already."

"It's not like I haven't hung out with Aoyama before. Tell him to come too."

"It's not Aoyama."

"Then who is it?"

The green haired man sighs; Shinso is an amazing friend, but he can be very overprotective sometimes.

"Bakugo Katsuki."

Shinso groans, which is not exactly a bad sign, but not a good one either.

"How on earth did you meet that guy?"

Izuku wanted to tell him about Katsuki, but he hasn't had a lot of free time that week and he wasn't sure how he'd react. As he keeps focusing on his task, he tells him about what happened the day they met and early that morning.

He hears Shinso's tired sigh.

"I was in his class. He's an asshole... well, he wasn't that bad at the end of the third year and, well, I can't say he's a bad person," even though Izuku can't see him, he knows Shinso's pinching the bridge of his nose at the moment. "But I'm not sure he's a very good match for you, Mido."

"What do you mean match?" Izuku chuckles. His friend could certainly be over-dramatic sometimes. "We're friends!"

"You told me he just asked you out!"

"I didn't say he asked me out!" Izuku messes one of the cupcakes as his face turns bright red. "I said he wanted to have dinner."

Another sigh.

"He was asking you on a date."

"You don't know that."

"I'm pretty sure."

Shinso starts saying something else, but Izuku is not listening anymore; if he's right then he needs to hurry up so he has time to at least not look like a mess when Katsuki comes to pick him up.

"Hey, Mido..."

"I'm sorry, I have to go, I'll talk to you later!"

"Wait-"

Izuku ends up the call wondering if his friend was right. He should ask Katsuki directly... but what if it's not a date and he gets weirded out and doesn't want to be friends with Izuku anymore?

The clients that come inside help him push those anxious thoughts aside, at least until it's time to close. His nervousness returns when he gets a text from Katsuki saying he'll get there in half an hour.

Feeling a bit anxious, he waits outside, wondering if he should ask or not, but then, just as he decides not to, Katsuki gets out a very expensive car and hands a bouquet of forget-me-nots to him.

"They're beautiful, Kacchan!"

"Glad you like them, Izuku" the pro hero says, cheeks turning pink.

"So it really is a date!" He blurts out happily.

"Yeah..." Katsuki nods, rubbing the back of his neck. "Unless you don't want-"

"I'd love to go on a date with you," Izuku cuts him off, beaming at him.

The hopeful glimmer returns to Katsuki's eyes before he takes one of Izuku's hands a gives it a soft squeeze.

"I'm going to sweep you off your feet tonight!"

"I'm sure you will, Kacchan."

He's already doing that, but Izuku is not going to let him know just yet.

***

They kiss at the end of their first date, well, actually, Izuku is the one who does it: just a quick peck on the lips before he wishes Katsuki (who's staring at him in awe and is completely red) a goodnight.

They keep dating after that; they go out every week, but the pro hero pays him a visit at work every time he can.

People eventually find out; at first, his fans think pro hero Dynamight is addicted to the pastries in that particular bakery, and Izuku finds himself surrounded by clients every single day.

Business grows in such a spectacular way he has to hire someone to help him.

People genuinely like his pastries, so they keep coming even after they realize that Dynamight is not actually addicted to the pastries, but the green haired guy who sells them instead.

At first, the fame that comes with dating a pro hero is overwhelming; reporters stop him in the street to ask about Dynamight, and although most of the fans are supportive, some think Izuku is not meant for someone as great as Katsuki.

Reporters find out he's quirkless, and the haters and trolls use that against him until Katsuki shares a message on Instagram and then tiktok, in which he tells everyone that if they don't leave his boyfriend alone he won't give interviews and autographs anymore.

He's so angry and fierce in the video, assuring them that he loves Izuku and he's his number one priority that even some of the haters realize the man is truly in love.

After that, Izuku is left alone.

"Fine," Shinso admits, after watching the video. "He's not bad. And it seems he's completely in love."

Izuku realizes that after watching the video as well. He actually calls Katsuki as soon as he sees it and tells him he loves him too.

Katsuki comes to the bakery that day and asks him to move in with him; it's too soon to take such a big step like that, but Izuku knows exactly what he wants.

He meets Katsuki's friends a week later, in their apartment; all of them are pro heroes, and even though that makes Izuku feel nervous at first, he quickly realizes they all are amazing people.

He gives them a few boxes of pastries.

"You're the one who makes these?" Kaminari says, almost tearing up when he opens his box.

"We already knew!" Ashido rolls her eyes, hitting her friend on the back of the head.

"All of them are delicious," Chargebolt continues, ignoring her and prompting Kirishima to laugh. "I think I love you, Midoriya."

"Oi!" Katsuki growls, grabbing him by the collar to yank him away from his boyfriend.

"In a very platonic way, of course!" Kaminari adds, making Izuku chuckle.

Even though Katsuki hears him, he keeps Izuku on his lap all the time.

It's ridiculous, but endearing at the same time.

When Katsuki meets Izuku's friends, it doesn't go as smoothly as it did with his. It's a bit weird since he technically already knew all of them: Aoyama, Jiro and Shinso went to the same high-school and were in the same class as him.

However, this day, they're there as Izuku's friends, and they take their "job" seriously, especially Shinso.

It goes well, after asking a few questions, Aoyama and Jiro seem to be okay with Katsuki, but Shinso keeps glaring at him every now and then.

"I'll kill you if you hurt him."

"I'll let you do it if I ever hurt him," it's Katsuki's response; it's immediate and without hesitation, which ends up impressing Shinso.

"Fine!" He huffs after a while, and Izuku knows that means he kinda approves of Katsuki now.

***

A couple of months pass, and they become a very beloved couple by the media and the fans; they don't actually care that much about that, but it certainly helps because it means people don't bother them that often.

Izuku is very happy; sure, not everything is perfect, and they do argue every now and then, but they know how to fix it.

When Katsuki doesn't have to leave early, he stays in bed with his arm around Izuku's waist. Sometimes, he wakes him up by pressing kisses to the freckles on his back and jumps off the bed to make breakfast for the two of them.

"You know, Izuku," the pro hero whispers into his ear after pulling him into his arms as soon as the young man joins him in the kitchen. "I'm so glad that annoying reporter chased me down the street that day, and I chose to hide in your bakery."

"I'm glad too, Kacchan," Izuku whispers, smiling against his boyfriend's lips before kissing him.

"That's why I'm going to announce our wedding on her channel first."

"Wedding? Kacchan, what do you–" Izuku almost chokes when he watches the pro hero get on one knee and open a tiny box with a ring inside it. The ring has two gemstones: an orange and a green one.

"Marry me, Izuku." It's not a question, but Katsuki does look a bit nervous anyway.

Which is absolutely ridiculous, Izuku would never say 'No' to him. Besides, he probably wants this as much as Katsuki does.

"Of course I'll marry you, Kacchan," Izuku mumbles, already tearing up.

After his boyfriend puts the ring on his finger, he pulls him into the safety of his arms and kisses him senseless. Izuku has to call his employees to open the bakery without him because he'll probably be late for work.

I wonder if a huge part of North and Sonic's relationship this season is the fact that Sonic had left. And that's bothering him cause clearly in the first season we saw that north and sonic were both into the content creation world. And now this season we know that Sonic has left for a period of time to pursue his fashion career thus him pretty much leaving racing out of his own personal dreams. While North during the time has been basically focusing on his racing and getting back into the zone of it all. So I wonder when these feelings start getting more complicated I wonder if it's because Sonic feels a little guilty. And I say guilty in the sense of like him and North being friends for so long they started out together they did and seen so much together. And then he leaves for a little bit. He comes back and he sees that North is back into the racing and he's better than he's ever been he's even maybe winning some. I wonder if there is a part of him that will feel like North was held back because of him. Because again when they both started out the whole content creation north seemed like he enjoyed himself a lot! but I think a part of that was because he was doing it with Sonic and whatever Sonic did I think North just went along with it. And now I think since they've been apart and now they come back they both obviously have two different careers that they want to pursue. And I wonder if Sonic just feels like North could have been further than where he's at if he didn't hold him back. If he would have maybe just stayed longer and helped him and did more as a friend. I wonder if he feels like he's feeling like he wasn't a good friend to north at all. Which I think north will highly disagree with. I'm just trying to think what would worry Sonic so much aside from you know they're obvious yet not obvious feelings to each other. I can see Sonic feeling like if I am not even a good friend to him what makes him think that I can be a good partner for him to cross that line. Even though I think North doesn't see it that way at all I think north has liked him for a long time and maybe Sonic did too but Sonic's never dared to even let himself feel or think further with that because of the fact that he was satisfied with their friendship. While I think North wants more than that but I think one thing for sure today both don't want to lose each other due to this so it's going to be very interesting!!

hero/villain showdown but one of them has a spontaneous medical emergency and the battle gets put on hold while their archnemesis drives them to Urgent Care

[jabberwockypie]

That fucking DIY wheelchair post is going around again, and none of the people reblogging it are reblogging a version that talks about the risks of using homemade mobility aids that don't fit you properly - such as that they can make your pain worse or cause pressure sores that lead to terrible infections.

I did see a couple of additions about how cool and punk it is. I don't know, is getting sepsis punk?

[lucabyte]

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

[reyislikesotired]

ykw i'm gonna add to this.

agent stone and mikey meet up regularly to exchange recipes and how they tweak it for their loved ones cause they have peculiar food quirks.

raph likes to tag along because he gets to try the new stuff they make.

leo likes to take the time to mess with g.u.n, especially director rockwell cause he doesn't like how she's quick to turn on anthropomorphic animals with powers (majority of his family falls in that description) and she's just fun to annoy. he does small pranks like moving her stuff around, making her trip up a bit every now and then, moved all her furniture an inch to the left.

they eventually do meet the wachowskis, and raph loves when maddie lets him tag along to her workplace to see the small animals. leo and mikey like to ask for rides on the cruiser from tom and ask about being a sheriff. donnie likes to compare notes with maddie about new physiology of life forms not studied as he had helped leo learn about their own mutant physique and maddie is basically on her own to figure out her own kids' biology. (tails had helped maddie out a bit but he's better at machines than people, and while donnie is better at plants than people in comparison, he does have really good points of how he went about with himself and his own brothers that help her a lot)

there was also that moment of-

"oh you're aliens too?"

"nah, we were turtles mutated with super soldier ooze created by a warring warrior scientist yokai who wanted to wage war against all humankind because of some prophecy he misinterpreted."

"..."

"don't worry tho! barry's chill now!"

"HE THREW ME OFF A ROOF"

"THAT WAS YEARS AGO, LEO, LET IT GO, HE APOLOGIZED!"

sonic and leo after seeing how much they have in common become pranking menaces and nobody is ever safe. raph and knuckles are sparring partners (duh) but knuckles does talk to mikey a lot about his tribe and mikey helps him work out some emotions. donnie and tails obviously talk shop but donnie does help tails feel reassured cause they both have things that make them think at times that maybe they're too different and need to make up for it somehow.

meeting splinter was. an experience.

"your dad is a rat?!"

"SONIC! MANNERS!"

splinter laughs and just goes "you're very much like my blue, furry blue"

in my head, splinter calls sonic, knuckles, and tails: furry blue, furry red, and furry yellow, respectively.

maddie and tom have talks with splinter about how it is raising boys with enough power and/or smarts to destroy the world if they wanted. tom was also a lou jitsu fan. arrive at any conclusions you wish but i know that at least is a fact, don't fight me on that.

i think i only want to see a rottmnt x sonic (live action) crossover because i would love to see donnie and robotnik meeting each other.

they would love to hate each other, is how at least i think it would go.

like i just imagine them seeing each other and their fight or flight instincts kicking it, and its immediately fight, but with knowledge.

"what's the 99th digit of pi?!"

"longest word in the dictionary?!"

"this is my FULLY SENTIENT robot ai son, shelldon"

"THESE are my beautiful egg babies"

"i have combined mysticism and science!"

"i have 5 phds and fluent in several languages!"

then they also meet up later for coffee (made by agent stone and michelangelo respectively) and actually compare notes like colleagues, but as soon as the coffee is done and they leave, they go back to hating each other
