Nono, you’re right about glasses Geno, but what does he teach?

My pitch would be Soviet art history, his phd is specifically in the soviet sculptural tradition and it’s a long running joke amongst his students that his apartment is probably full of weird-ass replicas and plaster casts of them.

Ahahahaha you must not have seen that old post i found last night - art was apparently geno's least favorite subject. He used to ask his mom to do his painting homework for him, poor boy. (go watch the gifs its cute, a decade ago but he smiles at getting away with cheating in the exact same way he did when he made the cartoon joke this season)

No, if this is gonna be my silly little fantasy where geno is still in pittsburgh but as some adorable bashful professor and more accessible than a famous hockey player, he's gotta be in a field more accessible. I was never cool enough for the art department, there was a reason i was an artist/computer scientist doing computer science research instead of art research.

Ridiculous fantasy under the cut cause this month has been horrible and who doesnt need escapism :P

Lets put him in the math department, he's good at poker right? Or literature. One of those nerds who likes logic puzzles, like for fun. The kind that enjoys supposing something is fact, and then following the logic train of how the world's dominos would change if this one (wrong) thing is actually true. That'd stick math professor geno's office somewhere in baker hall, which is warm (like 90 degrees ALL YEAR), and strangely soft (well worn), but somewhat industrial (carnegie built all these buildings with the steel industry in mind), he'd fit right in.

Also it's shared with the chemistry department, and the chemical engineering students installed a soda machine in the hallway of basement B. And its famous because it's the cheapest place for caffeine on campus (being run by students they sold the cans close to at cost) and connected to like four other buildings by indoor bridges so you can get your soda fix even during the winter. Before a doctor told me i had to quit caffeine or else have a stroke, i was frequently walking over to buy cherry cola, like a cigarette break only more sugary.

So we have to have a meet cute in this little fantasy and what better vehicle than chitchat over a soda machine. Geno's supposedly shy, right? So i imagine professor geno is even worse, like professors dont talk to media unless they actively want to go viral and become famous and geno strikes me as the type who'd instead be quietly brilliant. Anyway, im shy too, so obviously it's gonna take at least two years of accidental run-ins before there's even a conversation. Like the first year i'd probably learn the hot mystery professor's schedule and time my soda machine visits to coincide with his. The second year i'd probably find out his name from a friend of a friend of a friend who took his class back in undergrad. By the third year we might exchange four whole sentences and it'd be the highlight of my life.

Speaking of classes, geno's gotta be that professor with tons of quirks. Costumes every halloween, a teaching style that is very serious but somehow the funniest in the department, everybody has nicknames from him, all the women in his classes are in love with him and give him other nicknames and tease each other about him behind his back. His office hours are always full, which he's a little bit sad about because if nobody shows up he has an excuse to play video games on his computer for a few hours. He's always stopped in the hallways because everybody recognizes him - current and old students alike - and wants to chat or ask questions related to life or homework. You can hear his voice coming from a mile away, so he's easy to find and socialize with. By the same token when he's in a bad mood, everybody knows it.

Professor geno would also be unfailingly kind - the one who remembers what its like to be perpetually exhausted, hungry, and broke as a student, so he sometimes orders pizza and has it sent to the whiteboard study areas in wean.

I dont think math professor geno would live in an apartment, that's a little boring. He'd probably live with his good buddy who's a famous hockey player and understands that adjunct professors get paid shit until you get your phd and then, god willing, tenure, so doesn't charge him any rent. This version of sid doesnt live in excluseive rich people town but instead has one of those stately mansions in shadyside. And its a college town so sometimes when they go out people recognize geno from class more often than they recognize sid and sid secretly thrives off this.

At some point after maybe four years of soda machine conversation, i'd get up the courage to ask professor geno if i could draw his portrait. Maybe he'd also help me come up with ideas for new animals and creatures to sculpt for my research gallery.

Lmao look what you did anon, you got me writing self insert fic for the first time in over a decade 🤣

Dragons Rising E6-10 Thoughts

Here’s some thoughts on each episode in the latter half of Dragons Rising, Season 1 Part 1:

Return to Imperium:

The color grading of this opening seems off – almost as if it’s a flashback (it’s not, ofc)

JORDANA SPOTTED

The conveyor belts directing people where to go is so on the nose for an authoritarian society

“It's the perfect companion for anyone that might... be lonely” :(

“Unconventional? Perhaps you can forgive her” man this is seriously dystopian but also pretty funny

Sora in her S1 outfit without headphones is kinda cursed

“Ever since the Merge it’s been you and me” I AGREE ARIN. LET’S KEEP IT THAT WAY

Kai’s Wu impression is great

The Advanced Science Lab? Isn’t it the Advanced Systems Lab?

I HATE SORA’S PARENTS I HATE SORA’S PARENTS

The sewer smash cut is perfect. Beyond the Phantasm Cave implies that Sora actually traveled through the sewers before so at least she had a reason to assume there was no security

The public shaming platform? At least it’s not a two hour YouTube video essay documenting your every misdeed (which I will then watch)

This episode sold me on Sora’s character and is essential for her arc this season

Mindless Beasts:

Like the Rapton ad

The Arin chase scene is fun

I certainly hope nothing bad happens to the new shoulder pad store

The Imperium Teenage Protection Force all have shorter legs, meaning they’re probably slightly younger than Arin (or just short)

Every Wyldfyre line is gold: “If I was your enemy, why would I let you out of your cell?” “If you don’t know, how should I?”

Sora says her family was poisoned against her by LaRow— meaning she believes that her parents would have accepted her if not for LaRow. Ofc, we know later that once they see the truth, they don’t change their mind, so her rejection of them means even more

For a scientist, LaRow isn’t very smart (or lab skills =/= street skills)

“I’ve got a master teaching me all the things I’m doing wrong” Arin no he’s trying to help you

Percival talking about him is the first time Lord Ras is identified in front of Arin — before, he was just the “tiger guy”

Rapton has the perfect combination of incredible arrogance and thin skin

Dorama just wants to show off

Ras has such a deeper voice than in S2

The Hunted soundtrack!

LaRow just can’t stop gloating lol. Not sure how a Photac can capture a source dragon 

This episode is pretty important for Arin and Sora, and introduces Wyldfyre… but also isn’t super interesting

I Will Be the Danger:

Wyldfyre opening! Not what I was expecting when I originally watched but super cool. Not sure where she came from tho

The caregiver-bot helping Wyldfyre train is sweet. I wish she came back later (I know she does in a canon(?) novel and there was a deleted scene, but I wish it had been in the show)

Wyldfyre not knowing certain words is a clever detail that isn’t used often

Percival is so not convincing as an antagonist

JORDANA NAMED??

Considering the other empty holes in the portal gate room—are they supposed to link to other monasteries? Since the one Kai goes through links to the Imperium Monastary?

You probably are famous among ghosts Kai, considering the whole Morro thing

Poor Riyu

Thank you Sora, she really is weird— oh shoot Dorama! forgot about him

“I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS ‘SHUT UP’!” and then the one take after are pure Wyldfyre gold

The “ninja think Sora betrayed them” plot line could have gone somewhere but didn’t, and honestly I hate bad miscommunication plots so all good

Weird way to end

This episode peaks with the opening scene, and is generally fine outside

The Calm Inside:

Green eyes child Lloyd voiced by Sam Vincent is off putting. I get why they do this but whatever. The lighting/texturing in this scene (maybe bc of the rain) also makes Lloyd and Wu look super plasticy

Good lesson tho, and I’m glad it keeps coming up

Arin and Sora are a great duo

Melvin, remember, always do the bare minimum that gets you paid

And so the Empress joins the main plot

Super cool protective Lloyd is great, leaping down to pull Wyldfyre back from the Photac

What’s his “big plan” Beatrix? Why does Ras want Riyu? “You can’t [drain him] yet. My plan for—” no wait he was about to say it!

Ras is so mad at Beatrix omg

Kai and Nya have interacted more now than in any season post Hands of Time right?

So how did Arin trip? Tbf he punched himself in the face so makes sense

Ok the show just made the same joke after I wrote it, I guess I forgot

This sweat thing reminds me of the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie (the blood scene)

Lloyd being surrounded by chaos is overshadowed by the very strange design of imaginary Wu, but the scene leading up to Wu is so great. The music, the action, the direction— really stellar. Someone needs to let this guy take a break

Not Rapton’s unicorn figurines!

Excellent rhetorical comeback Lloyd

Ras is so cool -- singlehandedly fighting multiple dragons

Zane! But how did he end up in that pod?

Jordana! Sora is just totally lost lol

Do you think Kai, Nya, and Zane were planning on jumping out or was it spontaneous?

Lot of questions in this episode, and it would probably be better if they saved Lloyd hitting the targets for a flashback later in the episode (that is, end the first flashback before Wu gives Lloyd the lesson)

That being said it’s the best one since E6 and a good setup for the finale

The Battle of the Second Monastery:

Jordana getting insulted by LaRow (albeit indirectly) :(

This is probably very overwhelming for Zane

Everything seems particularly saturated in this scene 

The Jordana reveal is very good. Funny, but also kinda heartbreaking since Sora was just using her technology to give herself a friend

Lord Ras is not very nice (although he’s right how do you lose to two mostly-untrained teenagers who are in handcuffs)

Arin and Sora use Jordana swinging her sword to free themselves, just like Lloyd did in E2. Shows how far they’ve come (much better than when they fight Ras, which just diminishes him as an antagonist)

Ouch Lloyd, always look before you leap

“As opposed to those really strong gnats” I’d spend some more time workshopping those comebacks Arin

The Source Dragon scene is SO cool!

Sora beats Ras mostly though luck but the real question is why was he running so slowly

And so we finish the S1P1 aspect of Sora’s arc, although her conclusion of “having a responsibility to use her powers” is very similar to the end of E5

Sad Arin :( already made a post relating this scene to what happens in S2 but it takes on a whole new meaning knowing what happens after

Beatrix imprisoning Ras actually makes a ton of sense and I might make a whole post talking about why (and her character generally)

The Ras fight isn’t great - I get why it happens and Arin and Sora don’t really beat him physically, but it does undermine him as a threat. The rest of the episode is really good tho, especially the vision

Next up, the first half of S1P2!

[centrally-unplanned]

i’d be really interested in your thoughts on GRR Martin’s latest blogpost going at the HotD writers and showrunners

(Spoilers for all of the Dance of Dragons)

I went to look, not knowing it was out, and it was fucking deleted! That promises some spice, fortunately you can't escape the Internet Archive if you are a name as big as GRRM. So let's see what we got...

Ah, I see why it was deleted:

In Ryan’s outline for season 3, Helaena still kills herself… for no particular reason.  There is no fresh horror, no triggering event to overwhelm the fragile young queen

GRRM!! You can't leak script details!! That is definitely somewhere in your contract. Very minor of course, but still, if you made me bet this line got him a call from the PR rep at HBO. Anyway, onto the meat of the post.

So to summarize he outlines two points: one is the removal of the "Sophie's choice" plot with Blood & Cheese's murder of Aegon/Helaena's child, and the other is the butterfly effect of removing their third child, Maelor, whose later death triggers Haelena's suicide and other events at King's Landing. I see where GRRM is coming from but overall I think he is a bit too beholden to the trees of his story to see the forest here?

First, Blood & Cheese: in the "book", the two assassins find Helaena and her two sons, and to fulfill their mission of "a son for a son" make her choose which one they will kill. She chooses the younger Maelor, and then they kill the older Jaehaerys instead, and mock/shame her with the knowledge that she chose to kill the surviving child. In the show this doesn't happen - Helaena's "choice" is about identifying which of her two children is the boy, which honestly is dumb. The show should have just cut the "choice" angle (watching your son be murdered is trauma enough), or make it instead some actual choice, like her giving up her son's location to spare her own life or something. GRRM is right to say the book scene is more coherent.

However! The book scene is also...just Sophie's Choice? The 1982 film starring Meryl Streep? Like it is...exactly what happens in that film, beat for beat. That is now so famous as to be its own trope? It isn't a twist or a play on the concept, it is just the concept ported in wholesale. And to be clear, in the "book" that is fine. Because the "book" isn't a book; it's a chapter in a history retelling, it is like 40 pages long, this event is maybe two paragraphs. In something like that, a little bit of a nod to a famous movie is fine, right? The scene isn't relevant or big enough to require a bespoke identity.

But in a 4 season TV adaptation of that ~40 page story, these scenes are way bigger. This moment is very "drama central" in the episode. And I don't know...I kind of think a 1-for-1 copy of the Sophie's Choice plot would be, hm, a little weak? Like I might roll my eyes a little bit watching it, now that it is front and center. I can't say Condall was thinking that - GRRM mentions things like budget & hiring child actors for the change, totally valid concerns ofc. But it would be my instinct as Condall, and I also maybe wouldn't want to say that directly to GRRM if that is what I was thinking lol. So I think Condall had the right idea to try to give the scene a unique "twist", even if he failed on the execution.

As for the butterflies, GRRM is concerned that removing Maelor will have distinct consequences down the line that can't be undone, a "butterfly effect". And to not beat around the bush, he is being stubborn here - in real life you can't control butterfly effects, but stories are fictional. You can bend the currents of destiny to your will. Helaena can have other reasons to commit suicide (her relationship with Aemond is already fuel for that), and she isn't that important of a character, you can have other reasons the townsfolk turn against Rhaenyra.

And those reasons are already going to be different, they have to be, because in the TV show Rhaenyra is the good-natured protagonist; in the books she is a cruel tyrant. The butterflies are already here to roost; you can't hold sacred to any of these plot points, the show is too different from the books. As an artist you have the power to figure that out, and while canon is very important it can't rule all, not this far down the river of changes at least. It is the same with those other changes he hints towards at the end of the essay; of course there are changes at the end, they changed the beginning!

At one point he mentions that you can't replace Maelor's death with her daughter Jaehaera dying, because:

Jaehaera can’t be killed, she has a huge role to play as Aegon’s next heir.

And, no? No she doesn't. GRRM what are you talking about, no she doesn't! She is married off to Aegon III as part of the piece deal and then kills herself a few years later out of grief over her family at the age of 10. This is a minor plot beat, this can easily be changed. You gotta kill your darlings man. If they wanted to do this swap they totally could.

All that said, I myself love the death of Maelor at Bitterbridge; it is one of the peaks of the Dance's theme of the way war makes monsters of its participants. A town of smallfolk, split between blacks and greens and fear of reprisals from both sides, spirals out of control and tears the child apart in the fight. It is a great scene in the books and I would be sad to lose it. Though with only 4 seasons of runtime, and after the way they burned sunlight wastefully in Season 2? You gotta cut some stuff, and I can't blame them for trimming side stories like these.

But I do, truly, get why GRRM is upset at these changes. It is just very hard to separate yourself from the things you create like this. I really don't expect that of him; for that reason this critique is quite a soft one.

[fantomette22]

(Do not respond if it makes you uncomfy, reading is enough) I am late for the party but IMO it is really hypocritical when people say you can't ship ghrmria if traditionally mourning dolls were made for children and then turn around and ship mria with a woman who addresses her as her superior and is a victim of nasty experiments mria is covering up. Everyone only bothers with nuance instead of just letting people enjoy things when it is the ship they dislike.

Hello anon! Ah I know what post you read hehe (it resume really well the situation!) Thanks for the support as well ! Some people (one person in that case, can really be hypocrite yes).

I want to talk about this. I mean it's been a part of the harassment I got but you understand I don't wanna scream it out loud everything either. I don't wanna discuss some stuff publicly either so I will keep it to the essential. And well I hope I won't get bother bc of this again. (putting the rest undercut it's a big long sorry 😅)

Alright so I never actually show the ask in question I got. Only in dm to some mutuals & friends. Idk if I should share it publicly so if you want just ask me privately there's no problem I will show it. I got tons of other dumb things too but I won't share them publicly. I'm not playing that game. I'm not answering to hate with hate.

Basically, like you read before the person "ask me" more details on my view on their relationship if I think the Doll is a mourning doll (that parents made for their children) (see my essay/analysis I made a few months ago on the Doll. I will need to update it one day XD so this person might have read it). I mean yeah I think she's similar/have a similar purpose as a mourning doll but she's special. She's not your typically victorian child morning doll TM. Then, they wanted to know more about my different interprets, AUs etc

Love when people disagree bc they don’t like you but then agree with people they like who said the same thing as you… genuine evolution ? Hm…

For real I would love to talk about my many interpretations /stories about this 2 characters (with multiple interprets contradicting each others) but I want a genuine question from someone I know / someone I can put a name one. (even sending the ask on anon but telling in dm who is it is ok too! 👍)

Not someone hiding being anon and with vicious intend. Not someone who's stalking my blog (not a follower), previously (and after) fake approval of my ship content* and harassed me repetitiously for weeks if not months because I interact some times to times with someone they don't like.

*before that I got a "backhanded fake approval" over some drawings I did. Telling me "oh it's cute and all. You're doing it the right way" but then twisting it in a disgusting way with some awful sexist comments... trying to pass the fans of the pairing (and myself?) for bad people I guess? I did answer to it but call them out a bit too. It's on private now. I might have a link somewhere (because well I did spend some times writing cool ideas I want to keep for later)

At first I wasn't sure it was the same person (the fake approval, thoughts about the morning dolls and the harassing asks). But I had doubt so I never answer it. I'm glad I did because surprise ! IT WAS THE SAME PERSON all along ! (when I block ip address it was all deleted) Like wow harassing me, trolling me and trying to fake a genuine question before harassing me more? wow people are sure fascinating. (I really want do believe in you bud ! hope you become a better person !)

I took some precautions as well after all of this. That would be a shame to go private or disable anon ask for 1 bad behaved person. I hope it will be alright now and that I won't get bother anymore.

So about the other ship you mention... at first I was positive toward it but because of a few persons well I tend to be way neutral towards it now (and it's still the main thing in a minor AU of mine lol). Personally, I think, because of my view of Blood.borne world, the healing church, the research hall... that after the experiments began on her it doesn't really work/make sense for me anymore... But I won't go bother people who imagine/interpret a softer version just to be happy and have fun ! got for it guys!

But for real the wort ship experience I had so far was in Kingdom H/earts fandom XD (love this series too) imagined you follow smn cool (twi.tter) and they indirectly punch you? "oh I know the difference between who's a friend and not if you ship characters a&b or not" 💀 like wtf sure you prefer them being friends but don't insult people liking the paring ? specially when there's clues about it idk??

I feel it's more a problem of respecting other people (& their thoughts) than proving they're not canon/ accurate or not. it's not even analysis against facts it's just how I think your ideas (and you) sucks because it's my ideas are not the same.

It’s impossible to 100% agree with everyone about everything. But if it’s not hurting anyone/ dangerous ideas just minimum respect pls. That already hurt enough people throw history and still today (but well the internet..)

I would love to talk more about the characters I love really but all this is making me exhaust mentally. Even when people are nice and calm about it I'm still concerned smn is gonna understand things wrong and just decide to go bother instead of just ignoring it.

[kawaiixchaotic]

good to know im not the only one using shower time to conduct fake interviews of myself in my head as a way to purge all the fiery opinions and rebuttals i have. the Internet doesn't need to know your every opinion on every subject sometimes you just wanna get it out and feel heard. this can mean writing in a journal. it can mean keeping it in your drafts and then deleting it later. and it can also mean talking to yourself lol. it's a habit I've had my whole life and ppl love to shame me for it but it helps me process my thoughts, ppl might call me crazy but im (unfortunately) the most emotionally intelligent person i know, so, haha!

Do you ever write out a multi-paragraph rebuttal to something and then think "actually I do not want to get involved in this" and close it

[depresseddepot]

I'm tired of being scared abt this. I'm 100% certain I have adhd (if you didn't already know) and relatively convinced that I have autism too

[honeysuckle-venom]

I’ve spent most of my life refusing to allow myself to want things because if you don’t want anything you can’t be hurt when you don’t get it. So what if I didn’t get care or affection or reassurance or comfort or validation from my parents? I don’t want or need that nonsense.

But like obviously I do lol. And it’s a major focus in therapy right now. And holy shit it sucks. Every so often for years there have been moments where the desire for those things escapes and we feel it and we’re so overwhelmed and desperate and sad and terrified. And if I actually make an effort to let those feelings in, more than just the little bits that bubble up sometimes through all the repression? I’m terrified of what will happen then.

Favorite crime ; pouty Tobio cutie

⟿ Kageyama x gn reader, fluff, established relationship

⟿wc; 0.8k

⟿apparently I kin this man sm (omi too ig lol) and I want to write more of him in established relationship au

Kageyama isn’t a softie. Damn, this man can’t even initiate holding hands unless you grab his and intertwine to your own.

“It’s not that cold,” you comment, tugging his outfit.

Thing is, he started to wear jackets a lot, shades of black and darkest blue--too dark and you consider it as black too. (Kageyama keeps telling you it’s prussian blue) And it has pockets where you like to sneak your hands in and find home in the lines of his palm.

He flinched from the contact at first but later on finds himself repeatedly putting his hands inside the pockets of his hoodie searching for your familiar warmth. He keeps doing it out of habit especially before his matches where his plays would rely heavily on his fingers. Burdened by pressure pressed for his accuracy, he used to think his hands were only meant for game, points and victory.

Yet as he thinks of your touch, your palm against his, how his fingers lace through yours as if woven by fate.

“I just like wearing it,” he replies.

And for someone like you to fall in love with him, to kiss the angry lines on his forehead and cup his anger flushed cheeks, damn he’s got luck on his side. With his anger issues rising to surface in every split second the moment something goes off from his plans, it wasn’t clear to him what made you stay.

Now he’s annoyed again.

Their coach called for an unannounced practice right at the very moment you both finished dressing up for a date. A planned date. It’s fine for you. Though his career might take a huge portion of his time, Kageyama’s top priority never goes off from his mind, and it’s you.

“I can watch your practice instead,” you comment. You scoot closer beside him, looping your arm to his.

Kageyama likes you there, anywhere with you really. But today is your date. Why is there a practice all of a sudden? The warm morning light that doused the living room increased its temperature.

He slumps, “I’ll make them cancel it.”

“Tobio..” you know he’ll do it, “we can reschedule the date.”

His phone buzzes and a message from his teammate pops up. 30 minutes before practice. Kageyama stomps his foot, pouting. He wants to block everyone.

You bite the insides of your cheek, refraining to smile at his adorable childish state. And an idea flashed.

Snap.

Kageyama immediately faces you. His eyes narrowed.

“Oh shit,” you mutter, swiping through the settings. That was a perfect shot, a shame you forgot to turn off the flash. Your boyfriend sends an intense gaze.

“Babe,” his first warning goes off. You stood up.

Kageyama extends his arms. You take a step back. He tried to grab your phone, looming over. His skills could win, good thing you’re agile as well. You are quick to run, hurriedly making a duplicate just in case Kageyama tries something funny. Though surprised, he didn’t waste a second and ran to you. Your foot dashed far away, scrambling over untidied things all over your living room.

Kageyama calls out your name, speeding up, tripping halfway from a wire. You fumble your fingers over the screen of your phone.

Gallery. That pouty face. Set as lockscreen—

“No!” you squeal, “put me down” A pair of strong arms trapped you, slightly lifting you off the ground.

“Delete it” he asks, catching up to you after jogging around, “babe come on,” he says, still keeping you caged.

you poke your tongue out, “make me”

He sighs, “take another photo of me or whatever”

“This one’s special” you show him your new lockscreen, though blurry, you beam with pride, “see?”

Kageyama sends you a warning glare and you return the same look to him. Too bad, his eyes are sharper and accustomed to glaring to ward off unwanted people. It’s now a staring contest and it’s something Kageyama has grown to be a champion of---

Then he blinks.

“Huh” you smirk, “I win”

Kageyama holds you tighter instead. Too bad he could no longer keep his gaze up with you in a needle point distance.

“Look” you grin triumphantly, flashing your new lock screen to him featuring his very own precious expression.

He turns away, “anything but that..” avoiding looking at his face, “pick another cursed meme or baby animal”

“Why? this is better” you say, smiling cheekily, turning your phone off and on again just to see his pouty face flashing on your screen, “it’s cute”

He rolls his eyes, “your eyes are something else”

“I swear it’s kinda hot”

And his eyebrows furrow, “hot?” he looks at the photo, grimacing, “my face screams murder”

“That’s what I like”

“You like it when I’m mad?”

You wiggle your eyebrows, “it depends?”

The annoyed look in his face is gone now. His lips curved into a little smile. He usually keeps his emotions in check, withdrawn and locked away. But it’s you, finest locksmith unlatching caging his vulnerabilities. He could try to with all his might only to end up with a rapid heartbeat and short circuits in his mind.

He brings your face closer to him, “should I be mad right now?” he whispers, voice deep, “you stole a photo of me.”

“my favorite crime I must say”

And in a split second, he brings his lips to yours. He steals a kiss. Smooth and delicate. He did not falter. What’s there to think twice? It’s not like he needs calculations for his feelings. Kageyama closes the gap once again before you could even speak.

For a second you pause, staring blankly at your boyfriend. He’s like that sometimes and lately has been like that all that time. Always catching you by surprise, flustered and heart pounding to catch up to his.

“And this” you flinch when he lifts you higher, moving his face close to yours to steal another kiss, deeper “this one’s my favorite crime.”

Parting, both of you take a deep breath.

“You’ll delete the photo now?”

“You’ll attend practice now?”

“I won’t win, will I?”

“Not in our living room,” you chuckle, “take your chances at the court.”

have a nice day lovely humans, drink plenty of water ^^ reblogs are very appreciated

—MAKE YOU SAY “OH” EXTRAS: TINDER

extra meaning non-canonical occurrence; can be placed anywhere in the “make you say oh” timeline after couple (cha. 14) and before the final “oh”. 

pairing—corpse husband x f!reader warnings—tinder profiles, tw: men, swearing.  word count—2.6k. format— written. ─── ❥ req by nonnie​:  y/n makes a youtube vid/live stream where she's just swiping through her tinder acc and corpse literally blocks her lmao

author’s note—akldsljfs this was such a funny idea i could not not write it lmao

ultimate masterlist. myso masterlist

You have pulled the biggest brain move by setting up both a facecam and a screen recorder on your phone. All is beautifully displayed and visible during the stream. Your fanbase is particularly intrigued on what exactly are you planning on doing today, seeing as your tweet of “strea” had been a bit vague, if not downright ominous. No emojis. No elaboration. You couldn’t even be bothered to finish the word. Truly, a mystery. Everyone tuned in and are currently waiting with bated breath.

A few of your fans must sense upcoming doom because the overall mood in the chat turns from optimistically intrigued to...evil. It’s an entity all on it’s own now, clawing at you through the screen with various renditions of laughter and devil emojis. A few eggplants thrown in there for good measure, accompanied, naturally, by the scandalous water drops. At first the common consensus is that you’re biting the bullet and going through your camera roll on stream. Definitely an idea worth considering, though you frankly don’t know what lies at the start of the 11k photograph journey, and you are afraid to check in public. Could be a harmless meme, could be a salacious pic you had saved of an OF star. It’s really a gamble. Either way, you would definitely get banned. You might still get banned. Why do you insist on doing shit like this?

Because it’s funny. Because you’re kinda stupid. Because it’s just so absolutely laughably easy to do.

A smile quirks your lips, and while it is not explicitly smug, the look in your eyes sure is, “Greetings,” You utter lowly, dimming the lights--the budget for this stream! Ugh, you went all out, “my children.”

mother i crave violence

sensing evil energy rn!!

i do not claim the energy in this video for myself or anyone else watching this 💖💖

^with peace and love shut the fuck up

“I know y’all lowkey hoes-” Upon your words the chat splits into two: one side eagerly agrees (even shares a few OF accounts! How helpful, supporting small businesses!), whilst the other feverishly insists on innocence. You make a face stuck somewhere between offended and bewildered, “Now c'mon now-I know you. I know you all. We’re the same, don’t-what was that?”

You try to scroll back to the comment but it’s loss in the sea of incoming messages, “I swear to God I just saw-”

Corpse_Husband: i love late night streams it’s not like i have anything better to do.

“COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORPSE!!!!” 

rip headphone users

i cant feel my face when im with you by the weeknd but instead of face its my fucking ears

yall think full vol on pc is better?my parents woke up 😭😭😭😭

To think he’s spending his last waking moments for today with watching you (he probably still would have anyway, because you do not posses an ounce of shame or self-control and pester him relentlessly)! It makes your heart sing, and suddenly, a traitorous, fun hating idea barges it’s way through the crowd of incoherent buzzing and states: don’t do this. For some reason it also has the voice of Rae. As if that would work in guilt-tripping you- Rae never succeed, and her fictitious rendition in mind won’t fare much better either.

Still, you thought about it. That must count for something. Corpse will understand, won’t he? Why don’t you want to upset it in the first place? Men look so funny when they lose their shit, like hello, don’t you have anything better to do? But the image of Corpse just sitting there, hurt, distraught, leaving you on seen because he’s in his sad boy hours leaves a sour taste in your mouth. 

queen rly went from  🥺😊 to 😕 u ok bbgirl?

Corpse_Husband: no pouts cutie

akjdjoeijdfse cUTIE??? deadass boutta r.i.p.

Well that succeeded in eliminating everything from mind, doubts included. If this was an anime, the scenery would shift into something roseate, with flowers and bubbles and sparkles all around you along with a halo or two. Alas, not an anime, rather reality. The led-lights, however, seemingly possessing a will of their own, slowly turn from deep violet to pink. You smile brightly, like the absolute dumbass you are, and you are met with a ray of heart and blushing emojis. You are just so cute, a real cutie! Still in your disguise adorable state, you swipe your finger on your phone screen, the grin never leaving your lips.

There, among the plethora of apps, nestled sits a red square with a white fire plastered on it. The delicate calligraphy on the bottom reads: TINDER.

The mood changes once again- you’re giving the roaches emotional instability by how quickly everything flips over- and the chat spams eggplants vigorously; some, of course, bravely fight against the thirst.

nooooooo i thought y/n is gonna stream in a god honoring way!!!

^pack it up girl defined

“So, Charlie and I-” You note a few awfully curious comments and squint, “-yes, we talk a lot. Charlie is a really good friend of mine. We’re best friends. Brothers. Sisters. Cousins. The whole fucking family tree-no, that sounds weird. Delete. Anyway, Charlie, being the absolute fucker he is, said, hey, you know what would be funny? And I was like, nooo, what would be funny, Charlie? And he says to me, he says, says, making fun of men on Tinder. And if y’all need any more proof that Charlie and I are platonic soulmates, then dunno, my children, my roaches, I dunno-I dunno what more to give you.”

You can’t be bothered reading the comments, there’s too damn many. You also need to save your reading comprehension for the actual bios. It has a time limit, that darn thing. 

“Okay, so I made a profile earlier, but I hadn’t swiped on anyone yet-” Despite the fact, Tinder helpfully informs you that already 99+ people have swiped right on you, “So, this is me,” You show the pictures you have of yourself, and damn, not to be a conceited narcissist, but you look really good. Like if you saw yourself on Tinder, you’d super like instantly. “Uhm, so, my bio-my bio says: let’s sauce in the tub together, ya dig? splishy splashy, giggle giggle.” 

i cant believe we are witnessing y/n trying to form a coherent sentence live 

shes trying give her time

ya dig??? y not capeesh

what scene from the godfather is this lol?

“My anthem, is,” You laugh, covering your lips with your hand, “Corpsie, this is form you-” Proudly, you show that indeed, Corpse’s E-GIRLS ARE RUINING MY FUCKING LIFE is listed as your anthem on Spotify, “Hehe.” Yes, you say that aloud.

Corpse_Husband: you’re killing me Corpse_Husband: thanks baby Corpse_Husband: now delete tinder ❤︎

You ignore his last quip, deciding it’s finally time to get this show on the road, “Right, let’s do this shit. I’m not actually going to swipe on any guys that look, uh, decent? Yuck, can’t believe I just said that, uhm, because I-because I feel like some actually deserve a chance with someone? I don’t wanna get anyone’s hopes up, as I am currently in a long distance relationship with Chrollo. So I’m just gonna swipe on, like, frat boy assholes. Because I don’t care if I hurt their feelings. Quite frankly I don’t think they possess them in the first place.”

The chat voices their agreements. With the ground rules set, you, giddy, click on the first profile.

Does Tinder know what you’re doing, your plan? The FBI agent watching you through your phone must be working overtime, bless his heart. They must, because the the first guy to meet you is named Jason, and there he is, blond hair and blue eyes, holding up a fish the size of his torso. Marginally adequate in looks, pretty good muscles. A solid 7 bordering on 8. He’s the same age as you, 15 miles away, and he studies at some college you don’t care enough to look up. Bio reads:

I like to drive fast. Fishing is my passion, but if you can’t catch me by the ocean, you’ll catch me catching waves, bro! Love a good gym date. You do squats, and I’ll keep a close eye to make sure you’re doing it correctly ;) You probably saw me at a party. Leader of the The Phi Kappa Psi. I’m a Gemini, if that matters lol.

You, of course, read it aloud, dramatically; provide some constructive criticism-he seems nice, but he’s a Gemini, so naturally, you can’t trust him at all! Also, that gym date session leaves little to be desired. With your rant done, you swipe right, and shocker! (not), it’s an instant match.

“Okie, I still wanna swipe of some profiles, so I’ll see what he’ll text later-” For a second you wonder the legalities of this stream, but you’re having too much fun to think of it further, “guys, I won't get sued, right?”

NOW she considers it

well....

if you do, we’ll kickstart your lawyer dw <3

Onto the next profile. Kevin, 25, is seen fixing his car- or, you assume he’s mid-fixing it, you don’t really know why else he’d hold a wrench and be covered in oil. He’s shirtless, and the caveman part of your brain echoes something closely resembling AWOOOGA!, but...but!...blonde hair, blue eyes. You pout again, “I don’t...I don’t really like blond boys, ya know? With the blue eyes and all, it’s just not my thing, uhm, unless it’s like-like...Armin from Attack on Titan. Else I don’t care.”

Onto the bio:

You have to treat a car like you treat a woman: go on long rides, take the lead, but most importantly, keep her oiled up 😜 

“What the fuck did I just read?”

The chat is equally confused. You swipe right anyway- another match. Too easy.

The stream continues without incident for a solid thirty minutes- all of your matches, expect a few that genuinely looked like normal dudes that really couldn’t write a decent bio to save their lives, had been blond hair blue eyed gym rats with ranging forms of misogyny. Some opened with asking for nudes out right, some asked about your day first before asking for nudes. You prefer the former. Straight to the point! You admire the gall. 

But then, down the forty-five minute mark a profile popped up that made you still by your phone, your smile dying as your eyes bulged. Dear God. Lord in heaven. Who is this demonspiit lookalike and why is he so fucking hot? The neck tats, the skateboard, the clothes- holy shit, you gotta close your mouth before some drool dribbles out.

No bio, just his name, Tyler, and that he’s 23.

“He boutta be 23 in me.” You mutter, swiping right with lightning speed.

WHAT DID SHE SAYYYYY?????????

tyler is y/ns karma for relentlessly mocking that one guy that had a whole ass list on what his “female” partner should be

^he deserved it and also tyler seems like a typical fuckboi y/n grow a braincell

look at mom 🥺 her eyes are sparkling

It wasn’t a match right away. You somehow expected as much, but it still upset you. Simp behavior, pathetic. The stream continued bravely, and when Tyler messaged you a simple “yo” you totally didn’t sequel. You didn’t manage to text him back on stream: texting all those guys that you didn’t really find all that attractive was easy, but this...You’re a sucker for a man who radiates red flag energy. His whole profile is a red flag. He might just be a red flag himself.

What can you do? Suddenly becoming color blind is not easy. Once the stream ends, you unmatch with everyone expect Tyler. He you chat with for a bit, but a sudden craving for different company makes you abandon him, too. You don’t feel too heartbroken for him- you’re certain there’s already too many girls in his dms. You wish them luck.

Happily, you delete Tinder. You go to Twitter, notice you’re trending again- look at you go! Queen shit- and as you compose a thank you tweet, something strange happens. You go to text Corpse, but when you click on his profile you grow cold.

YOU’RE BLOCKED. You can’t follow or see @/Corpse_Husband ‘s Tweets. 

...Pardon? You hop onto Instragram and-also blocked. Seriously? And you thought you’re one petty bitch. Corpse is seriously prissy about everything. Damn, if he didn’t like your stream, he could’ve just said so. Didn’t need to, like, block you from his internet existence. So not cool.

You try texting him but no text go through. Well how will you let him know you deleted Tinder just like he asked? You relieve your frustrations by punching your pillow a few times. Later, you apologize to her, you didn’t mean to hurt her, it’s not her, it’s you. Fuck, 5 minutes of exile and you’re already loosing your mind.

“Raeeeeeeeeeeee!” You whine loudly. It’s roughly 2am now, but you don’t care. You’re too heartbroken to care. There’s a thump from her room, but nothing else, “Raeeeeeeeee!!!” You wail, wallowing in self-pity on your bed. You hear a very loud, very annoyed sigh from her room, followed by angry marching. Your door is abruptly thrown open, and in the dim, colorful light you see her scowl.

“What?” She grits.

“Can you please tell Corpse to unblock me from everything?”

“What did you do now?”

“I made fun of men on Tinder.”

She pauses, “...That doesn’t sound so bad.” She surmises, voice laced with suspicion, “What else?”

“...There was one really hot guy that I kinda sorta talked to after--”

“Y/n.”

“-But I totally deleted Tinder and honestly he was pretty boring, so, like, uhm, please?”

She sighs, the servery of which implies she is holding the weight of the world on her shoulders, and instantly you know that you won. She taps away at her phone, “You owe me one.” She states, and before you can reply, she exits your room and slams the door behind her.

Grinning, you text his phone again. The message goes through, oh gosh, you’re so relieved you feel like crying. This has been, officially, the worst five minutes of your life.

You Y DID U BLOCK ME LOSER!!! MAJOR LOSER ALERT!! I DELETED EVERYTHING IT WAS A JOKE r u still mad at me? y u always mad at me i never do anything:(

my husband You’re my baby, how do you think I’ll react when I see you publicly simping for some asshole on Tinder?

Oh no, he used the words, he delivered the killing blow. You’re finished. Your heart can’t take such a workout. 

Not that you would ever admit it to him, though!

You hehe ur jellyyyy u always dis jealous hehe?

my husband Not jealous.

Yeah, you might not be the brightest tool in the shed, but even you know that’s a lie. You send him an array of kissy emojis that he doesn’t have the decency to reply to. Then, completely unprompted and dead serious, you send him a simple voice memo, saying: “You really have nothing to worry about, you know? You’re my favorite, Corpsie.”

He responds via text, reiterating that he’s not fucking jealous and that he just doesn’t like when you show such outward interest in anyone but it’s not like he cares or anything. It’s just really, like, weeeeird to see his baby simping for another man like that totally ruins the whole dynamic!!! It was only natural that he should block you on every social media platform, including his personal number (which, like, was completely necessary! Doesn’t matter that his viewers can’t see it, it’s gotta be super believable!), and inform his followers of that, because it’s all a joke, like, for the dynamic, that Youtube grind, you know? Ya dig? No personal feelings were involved at all. He totally wasn’t upset that you found someone else cute, no way!

my husband I’m not jealous. Lol.

You ik u repeated tht like 50 times  u trynna convince me or??? lmao

my husband No comment. ...You don’t actually talk to anyone else like we’re talking, right?

You no one else calls me their baby if thts wat ur wondering at least not to my knowledge lol im all urs

my husband That makes me very happy to hear:)

Yeah, it makes you very happy, too.

hope you liked it!! xx

A hc request where MC is talking to the brothers and see that their eyes are dilated really big (when humans see something they love their pupils dilate rlly big) I would want to see how the brother would react to MC calling them out about lol thanks <3

So I messed up this prompt a little bit! So instead of MC getting called out for having dialted eyes, it’s the brothers calling MC out. Followed by a smaller bit about MC seeing the boys with wide eyes. 

Sorry!! But I didn’t want to delete the thing!!!

Lucifer:

Why is MC looking at him like that? He can’t tell if MC’s eyes were always so round but it’s a bit...off-putting

He can’t remember so he doesn’t bother thinking much of it until he spots them in the halls. They’re eyes are different, the pupils smaller, and he calls them over with some vague word about student council work

MC comes up and within the few seconds it takes for them to stand in front of him he’s sure that they’re pupils have changed. 

He swears if anyone put some kind of spell on MC he was going to find out who and when he does-

MC asks what’s wrong and Lucifer frustratedly asks them why they haven’t mentioned this eye problem before

Eye problem? What eye problem?

Cue MC going red as a beet when Lucifer says they’re pupils go wide when they’re around him.

Demands to know what’s wrong

His pride puffs up when MC tells him it’s a thing humans do when they see something attractive 

BONUS:

MC is helping Lucifer with his paperwork and Lucifer keeps looking up at them from time to time because looking away from all the forms gives his eyes a chance to rest and if there’s anything he wants to look at after all the jargon it’s MC’s face

Their eyes meet one time and MC cocks their head before their brows raise

Asks Lucifer what he’s looking at to make him so excited and, being clueless, tells them that he’s looking at them

Cue MC going even redder

Mammon:

MC’s eyes have always been wide around him - as they should! He’s the Great Mammon and all attention should be on him!

He thinks it’s just how MC looks, until he’s working on a group project with them and some other demons from their classes

He can’t stop taking little peeks at MC and one time he does he sees them looking at the other demons and their eyes have changed

It honestly freaks him out a little bit! He didn’t know they could change!

His panic catches their attention and as they turn their head Mammon watches their pupils widen and that freaks him out even more!

The assignment they’re all working on gets turned into a human biology lesson as MC explains that their pupils dilate when they see something they love

Mammon’s mouth is open, face red, a little sweaty as MC talks

MC loves him???? All this time??

He loved their eyes before but knowing now why they’re so wide makes him love them even more!!!

BONUS:

It’s the same vice versa - MC thought Mammon’s eyes were always big and round, which is a shame really because they love the little golden flecks in his eyes

He’s distracted one time and MC goes in for a closer look and when Mammon finally notices them his face goes red and his pupils go wide

MC’s eyes widen too and offhandedly asks if Mammon likes what he sees

Mammon goes even redder, if that’s possible

Leviathan:

His eyes are always blown wide because he’s always sitting in the dark of his room

Thinks the same thing is happening for MC whenever he invites them over for games or anime and doesn’t think much more of it

But one of the few times that he comes out of his room to play games with his brothers and MC is there and something looks....different. 

It’s bothering him to no end the entire time and he keeps making little mistakes in his games that eventually cause him to lose 

He blames MC for it and his brothers start to defend them until MC asks what’s wrong

And there it is - the big wide eyes! 

It’s almost a relief to finally figure out what was wrong and Levi can’t help but blurt out that that was what had been bothering him

Cue MC blushing so hard

Now everyone is asking to see their eyes and they have to hide their face

Tells Levi later that it means they saw something they like

It’s Levi’s turn to hide his face

BONUS:

MC honestly thinks that it’s some kind of health issue for Levi’s eyes to be so round

They’re red, too, and dry from all the screen time and from being so up close to it

He rejects their offer to help because Levi knows he likes them and doesn’t want them to find out, but MC is starting to figure it out

MC doesn’t want to embarrass him further so they don’t say anything but they are definitely reassured that Levi likes them since they like him back

Asmodeus: 

He knows. Oh he definitely knows

He doesn’t know if MC knows what they’re doing but he won’t tell them 

He kind likes the idea that MC enjoys looking at him so much and he switches up his looks - doing his hair a little different, wearing a new shirt, adding a different scent to his profile - to see what gets their eyes the widest the fastest 

And then one day there’s an argument about who MC likes the most - which happens often. So often to the point if gives Asmo a headache

Eventually he can’t take it anymore and tells them that obviously MC loves him the most. Their pupils are always so wide whenever he’s around! It’s the only proof he needs!

Everyone is confused and Asmo has to explain it to them

MC walks in a few minutes later and the confusion increases when all the brothers are suddenly rushing up to MC to see their eyes

BONUS:

MC is very surprised to see Asmo’s pupils go wide when they come down the stairs one morning

They’d never paid much attention - they know that as the Avatar of Lust that he has some standards and MC never thought they’d reach any of them

They can’t help but to stare...and stare....and stare

Asmo flings a casual flirt their way and MC has to wonder how much of it is just his usual talk and how much he actually means it

Satan:

Also knows what’s going on when he sees MC’s pupils go wide when their looking at him, and while he takes some pride in it, he’s not indulging in it as much as Asmo is

He actually takes a lot of comfort and relief in knowing that MC likes him so much that their attraction is nearly unconscious 

He’s not as fashionable as Asmo or as close to MC as Mammon but it gives him a confidence boost

He’s always asking MC if they want to read with him or go out to a cafe with him so he can revel in their eyes a little bit more

Satan hadn’t meant to tell them but it slipped out one day when he casually mentioned that he liked their eyes 

Stammers a bit through the explanation that their pupils are wide when they look at him and he knows that to mean they like him

Embarrassed MC can only nod but Satan only reassures them that they look just like a cat, which only embarrasses them further

BONUS:

Satan is always talking about how much he likes cats and MC thinks he might be one

He’s so willing to just lay by a window and quietly read, quiet and relaxed and content but always a moment from unsheathing his claws

The way his eyes go wide when he spots them only furthers the analogy and MC can’t help but laugh

Satan doesn’t mind being compared to a cat and also doesn’t mind that his affection for MC is displayed outwardly like this. Now everyone can know that he likes them

Beelzebub:

He thought it was some kind of human illness when he started noticing

Did it hurt? It looked uncomfortable for MC’s pupils to suddenly go so wide. He went to Satan who said that pupils react to light so Beel started keeping the lights a little brighter whenever he invited MC over for movies or helping him work out

It makes MC a little confused, too, and asks if Beel added new lights to his room

When Beel says it’s to help them see better since he was told it meant you had a hard time seeing, MC can’t speak for a minute

MC is touched that Beel was trying to help, amused that that’s what he thought was happening, and embarrassed that he was about to find out what was really going on

Their face gets redder when Beel puts a hand on their forehead asking if they were sick 

MC explains that, yes, human pupils do expand to take in more light when it’s dark, but it’s also an unconscious thing they do when they see something they like

Beel wonders what it is that they like - maybe all of Belphie’s blankets? They are very soft after all - before it clicks that it’s him 

BONUS:

It takes a while for MC to notice because Beel is just so...tall

They have to keep looking up at him and it’s hard to see his eyes unless he’s looking down at them

And usually when he does so it’s because he’s looking at what they’re cooking

It’s definitely not unusual for Beel’s eyes to be so focused on food, but what is, is when he turns those same focused, wide eyes onto MC

They nearly drop what they’re doing when they see his pupils blown open and they go even wider when he asks if they’re okay

Of course Beel likes MC, he says, when they ask him - they make him food without asking and never shame him for his eating habits, and they’re always patient with him!

Belphegor:

He’s pretty sure that human eyes get wide when it’s dark, and the attic is always dark when he and MC are in there since they’re always napping up there

As long as there’s enough light up there that MC doesn’t trip on their way to the bathroom and he has to get up to help then he doesn’t care

Doesn’t really seem too confused that they’re still wide when they’re eating in the brightly lit kitchens - maybe MC is just still sleepy

He invites them for another nap and it’s in that comfy sleepy state that he asks why their pupils are always so wide

Doesn’t it hurt or something to see like that?

MC is glad that it’s pretty dim in the attic so he can’t see them blushing. Tells them that it’s something like that

BONUS:

Belphegor finally finds out what the wide pupils mean when MC starts teasing him about it

He gets a little annoyed when they keep asking him if he likes them

Of course he does - MC is a great body pillow to cuddle into when he’s sleeping

But MC explains that human pupils go wide like that when they see something attractive

Belphie turns around immediately and asks what MC finds so attractive about him then and he won’t take ‘I don’t know’ for an answer!

Anonymous asked:

Hello! I like your blog and the little comments here and there makes me laugh at times hehe ^^ May I request headcanons for Vil, Leona, Mal, and Floyd reactions and what they'll do to reconcile w/ the reader after a very hearted argument to which Reader may have said "I hate you" before storming out. Would they wait for a bit? A few days or hours? Or would they be upfront with their apology immediately? Reader also apologizes at the end, crying slightly if that's okay. If you notice me, thanks! 

°•°•𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐇𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐞?•°•°•

HC's with: Leona, Vil, Floyd, and Malleus.

Note: Ofc, I was late yet again. Pls forgive me dear sir... And ofc tumblr hates me so it won't cooperate! Drafts got deleted 3 times.... so if it somehow becomes inconsistent... I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE! STONE ME GENTLY! anyways, i hope you enjoy this, actually no, I beg that you enjoy this?! Idk lololololololololol.

[𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚎𝚊 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚛𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚍? 𝙸𝚍𝚔 𝚕𝚘𝚕]

°•°•°•𝙇𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙖 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙧 •°•°•°

“I HATE YOU!” with bits of tears in your eyes, you slammed the door shut behind you leaving Leona dumbfounded all by himself.

You hate him?You hate him!?!? Is that like for real??? He’ll scratch the back of his head in shame of pushing things too far to the point you were in tears.

But what can he do? His pride caught the best of him and he acted rash in the heat of the moment. This prideful lion just doesn’t know when to shut up smh.ಥ‿ಥ

He’ll try to remember when did everything started to go wrong, but he'll just get more and more guilty the more he thinks about it.

“Tchhhh... I messed up big time...”

It's not his style to give up easily, but his mind was set in a frenzy the moment he thinks about you leaving him.

A day without you started to become dull and boring the moment he grew fond of you. So it somehow became a habit of his to constantly seek you unconsciously. Whether it's a whiff of your scent, your voice ringing in the hallways, even the sound of your footsteps is something he could easily recognize.

But now that the two of you fought, this lion will find any way possible to avoid you seeing him.

Yeah... it will probably take a while for him to apologize...(꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)

But when the time does come, expect Leona to prepare a simple yet sincere apology.

“Oi herbivore... Sorry about the other day ok? I missed my pillow for a while now...I lose...”

Simple yet sincere :') The prideful arrogant lion somehow learned to apologize despite his ego way ahead of him. He can't stand the thought of loosing you ok? (｡•́︿•̀｡)

°•°•°•°•𝙑𝙞𝙡 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙣𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙩•°•°•°•°•

“VIL STOP IT! I hate this! I hate everything! I hate you!” you quickly ran away to the door as vil stood in his spot stupefied.

You hate him? You hate the Vil Schoenheit himself?Then so be it...

Vil is basically pissed and angry™. Moreover, you had the guts and audacity to tell him you hate him. His pride was shattered in front of him. And he's not happy about that (꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)

Nope. Nah. Never. He's not apologizing anytime sooner now. He'll be waiting for that spicy well deserved apology you have for him...

He'll try his best to avoid you and give you the sassy cold shoulder treatment™. It will probably last for a few days or maybe a week. He has his pride y’know?

Not until he hears a muffled sob in the hallways and realized it was your voice. You looked visibly upset and sad as you cried your heart out, all alone in the empty hallways.

Oh no... What did he do? Was his nagging that bad? Did he take it too far with the makeovers? Guilt ate his soul away as he tried to sort out his thoughts with the clear image of your crying face embedded in his mind.

“Okay... Maybe I did take it a little too far...”

Making up his mind, Vil will try to make everything set for tomorrow and apologize to you to fix this feud  you both have. ( ╹▽╹ )

When classes are over and the two of you finally get to be alone, Vil will try to straighten this misunderstanding now! ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

“Hey Y/n I just want to tell you... I'm sorry.” “Vil I'm so sorry for the other day!-”

The both of you stared at each other with shock... Did the both of you just say sorry at the same time?

“Pfffttttt-” The both of you laugh from how hilarious this moment was. It felt as if the fight you had didn't happened at all. (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

“Y/n I'm sorry... I took it too far with what I do without asking your opinion first...”

“Yeah... I'm sorry I lashed out at you too... That was petty...”

Vil will definitely make a million dollar once in a lifetime seen smile, so you better treasure this rare sight!!!(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

“No more fighting, okay? ”

“Floyd I hate you!” you slammed your way out of the table, running away from Floyd.

Angering Floyd was not the brightest Idea in the book. His infamous “bad moods” was not something anyone would like to experience. But somehow, he was really pushy and annoying today and you were fed up with it.

“Ahhhh~ Koebi-chan hates me now? what do I do?”

Thankfully, Floyd wasn’t really angry, though he was sad and heart broken that his favorite person said they hated him.(╥╭╮╥)

Floyd is an impulsive boi, so he might secretly follow you to see your face or something lol.

Ofc, Knowing Floyd, he’d definitely skip classes and skip his job at the Mostro Lounge  due to his mood swings. Ofc, a certain octoboi wasn’t really happy with this.

Azul will probs tell Jade to help out his brother or something, lol Azul be secretly worrying for the two of you loooool.

However, with the help of Jade, the mushroom eel himself, he can guide his brother to make up with you!!!

Thank god mushroom eel is here to save the day! ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)

A fight with Floyd won’t really last long. Because Floyd being Floyd, he’ll naturally come to you like nothing ever happened! That’s why you have to be patient and understanding when it comes to Floyd ok?

With the biggest hug from behind you. There was a cute eel boi that has come to ambush you with love!

“Shrimppy! Don’t avoid meeee! I miss you so much so hang out with me at the Mostro Lounge againnn!”

Floyd is not really good with his words nor his apologies. Though, his blunt and honest demeanor is definitely one of his charming points!!!! (☆▽☆)

“Shrimpy! I have some takoyaki with me! let’s share them together ok?!”

Ugh, Floyd is too cute... It would be a capital sin to not forgive him and decline his offer! Tsk I’m watching you, you better accept that apology!

•°•°•°•𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙪𝙨 𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙖•°•°•°

“MALLEUS I HATE YOU!”

Shock. Pure shock. You hate him? The last thing Malleus wants is to hurt your feelings. In his eyes, humans are delicate and vulnerable beings, so he tries his best to protect you and treat you with utter delicacy. Yet it seems as if he failed to do that...

Just before you slam the door behind you and escape this fight, a hand grabs your wrist in attempts to stop you. Nonetheless you still make your way out, leaving Malleus standing there alone.

Malleus was deeply hurt and sorry for making you sad and angry. His heart was shattered with the thought of you leaving him, someone who made their way this close to his heart, someone he cherishes deeply.

But this fight wont really last long because Malmal would definitely try and apologize as quickly as possible!(ᓀ˵▾˵ᓂ)

Malleus is the soft type of person and I feel like he’d give up easily if it was you lol.(｡•́︿•̀｡)

Even if his apology was heard but not accepted, he’d gladly say his sorry no matter how much time and patience it will take, just for you to forgive him.༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

He’ll try to give you and Hour or two to clear your mind, then he’ll apologize!

Standing in front of your room, he’ll knock lightly at the door in front of him... No answer... So you’re still mad huh?

Leaning his forehead at the door, He’ll try to talk to you in hope for you to come out of your room. But nahhh, no signs of you leaving your room soo (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)

He’ll mutter apologies after another just in case you hear them :’D

“Y/n I’m sorry for hurting your feelings earlier... that was rash of me to say, so I truly apologize... I hope my feelings reach you.”

Hearing his voice, it would prolly sound as if he’s ready to cry any moment by now. You’d be a monster if you don’t forgive this fae cutie!!!(┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻

When you finally come out of the door to see him. I bet you he’s moment away from his tear dripping down. Ó╭╮Ò

“You’re not mad now right? Then is it fine to ask if we eat some ice cream later?”

You bet that Malleus would give you the biggest  cheeriest grin in the entire world! oh the things you keep doing to him never surprises him. Pls dont leave this cinnamon roll or else-

That's it cuties! I need to sleep now- my classes are thriving, but I'm not!!!

God, school stuff are taking away my precious freedom and time for writing smh.

Oh god, I'm ranting again... What's new? AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Anyways, I need to woosh now and I hope you enjoyed this one!!!

[formeforthemforyou]

If you are comfortable with it, if you are not then please delete this, Jade and Floyd have a good friend/partner (you pick) that they thought was sweet and loving, but the closer they got, the more the other slowly dropped their happy act. As time goes on, they get genuinely scary and even highly dangerous.

Overall, finding out someone they thought they knew was actually a different person entirely.

Making this as their crush bc I don't know how to swing it as a established relationship; of course it could also be read platonically it's all up to you!

Crush has a public persona they shed around them

JADE LEECH 🐬

oya oya? how interesting! he never would have imagined you were able to hide your true personality under a mask so well even he as your best friend wouldn't notice my my reader-san

needless to say he is THRILLED with the sudden unpredictable change lol catch jade doing anything he can to make you slip in public now that he nows what you're really like :) don't be surprised is floyd seems to know about your mask though bc like jade would keep something as interesting as this from his twin

likes coming up with crazy and dangerous ideas on how to hunt down those reneging on their deals with azul after all wouldn't it be fun to. let loose? shake your mask for a few hours while you hunt some useless plankton with him reader-san?

everytime your mask slips in public without you noticing jade's smile gets a little bit sharper as he subtly enable it by engaging in conversation not for the weak of heart

finds it cute that you brought a misbehaving plankton to him once, and you say you aren't sweet to those who know the real you reader-san shame on you for lying perhaps you'll just have to make it up to him with a kiss hmm?

FLOYD LEECH 🦈

ehhhh? koebi-chan is a predator? this can go either way if he's in a shitty mood he might leave you alone annoyed that you lied to him only to come back laughing later at the fact you fooled not only him but jade and azul too!

either way after the initial hissy fit everything pretty much goes back to normal? floyd just keeps going as always though if you listened to his conversation topics closely you'll find he talks of dark and disturbing topics more often now that he knows you like this stuff too!

you stumble upon him and jade disciplining a dealbreaker at some point after The Reveal and while jade seems to be getting reading to talk (threaten) you into silence floyd just laughs "koebi-chan~ do you wanna help? kani-chan must get pretty annoying so you could pretend it's hi~m"

floyd giggles happily if you take up his offer and pouts if you say you don't want to risk accidentally punching the real kani-chan because of this meanwhile jades in the background all like 🧍

[incorrectsibunaquotes]

so you've writtne a lot of fanfics (all really good btw!) and i was just wondering if there were any directions you originally wanted to take in your longer fics like house of mistakes or two is company that you decided against? also do you plan on updating glass houses anytime soon bc thats my favorite

Well thank you very much for your compliments! That means a lot!! ☺️❤️

So actually in House of Mistakes, Patricia was not supposed to be the temp Osirian. However, it was a way more fun plot to write, and also I wanted to explore the potential of the Osirian powers more. Like in TOR this man glows purple. I wanted more of that action in S3!!

I also wasn’t originally planning for KT to have a crush on Patricia which is nuts bc that’s a major subplot. But yeah, that developed a little later and so I went back and edited earlier chapters to reflect that. Actually, I’m currently going through a reread of the fic and fixing/adding/deleting bits of it. Doing a little fine-tuning if you will. So if you reread it now, you might find things slightly different.

———

And for Two is Company, believe it or not, there is a version where Kira is manipulated by Caroline right out of the gate once we hit S3 and is working with the adults. I wanted to explore the parallels between the relationship between the chosen sibling who has the weight of the world on their shoulders & the ordinary but capable sibling who feels rejected. I also wanted to explore how that would have affected her relationship with Eric and Eddie, as well as her friends. It would be particularly interesting for her and Eddie though, given the fact that while she was always the more accomplished of the two, in reality Eddie was far superior to her on the grand stage of destiny. (Think the extended version of “Crossing the Line” from Tangled the Series. Very much how the sibling relationship is framed between the twins)

Ultimately, however, this didn’t fit with the original structure of how Kira was created (by Instagram polls lol). Her fate was decided by the fandom when she was created, and I wanted to stay true to that. So Team Evil!Kira Miller was scrapped. It’s kind of a shame because I think this arc would have been rewarding, but I think what I have planned instead is equally as fulfilling for all the characters. At least imo. Some of y’all who actually read this fic might look at this alternate version and go “damn that would have been way better”

Anyway this was a super long answer to this ask! Thank you for indulging me. Also YES I PROMISE I WILL UPDATE GLASS HOUSES, as well as everything else I have to update 😭 I’m sorry I’m literally only able to focus on one long fic at a time and that means I end up shelving so many fics. They will get their dues I promise.

Paper & Fire Readthrough - Chapter 12

Holy FUCK it’s been A YEAR AND A HALF since I did one of these. Wow. Ouch. Ok. The things that slip when your life goes through changes, omfg.

For the doubtless many of you who’ve never seen one of these before, this is me re-reading the series and recording feelings and theories and impressions, with a focus on my OTP Khalila/Dario.

In theory the #paper and fire readthrough tag should take you to all the preceding ones in this book, but since tumblr is tumblr, I’ll probably reblog this later with links.

I’m going to be antisocial and see how many of us have turned on Tumblr’s “shorten long posts” feature. Mainly because I get so sad when tumblrs delete and their ReadMores become impenetrable. I have no intention of disappearing lol but this is the internet and you never know.

And with all that bullshit out of the way, let’s go.

--

So, while Jess, Thomas Morgan and Glain have been struggling with converting an automaton (and Thomas’ trauma), Khalila, Dario, Santi and Wolfe have been having a nice lunch of cold meats and cheeses. LOL.

Dario is, as per usual, the person to pessimistically and pragmatically point out that Morgan’s escape plan of Translating them all out of Rome is flawed because it’s really fucking obvious. He asks Jess if his cousins could help, but that’s not an option.

“Our code is: Get caught, count yourself dead.”

Please remember that Callum Brightwell drilled that so firmly into Jess’ head that he took him to watch his own brother be executed. And then join me in wishing Wolfe had done worse to Callum than publicly shame and punch him.

Khalila asks all the good questions next, which boil down to: Where can we go? and What chance do we have of the Library not catching us?

“None,” Dario said. “Not unless we find allies, quickly. Jess isn’t willing to put his neck on the block, so someone has to.”

Pausing to SCREAM at this choice of words from Dario. Again, Jess has literally watched his brother die, though I doubt Dario knows this. Jess is the one who genuinely understands what’s at stake here, whereas Dario has just seen his chance to provide something that Jess couldn’t. Which is all he wants, really, at this point in the series.

“Dario!” Khalila grabbed for him, but he was quick, the arrogant Spaniard. He grabbed her hand instead, raised it to his lips and then pressed the back of it to his forehand as he bowed. “Don’t go!”

Adorable, help.

Dario’s only response to her is to talk about Jess. Child. Boy. Please stop being SO homoerotic and desperate about this.

Then he doesn’t come back. The group give him the full hour, where he only asked for half, and Glain, of all people, suggests stunning their captives again, but no. They’ve got to go.

On a quick side note, it’s nice to see Santi just being absolutely undeniably in charge here.

Now the good stuff. I’m not going to quote it because dear god I’d have to type out about four pages. But let’s look at some bits.

“No, I’m not going to leave Dario behind. Jess-” She tried to get him to look at her, but he couldn’t. Wouldn’t. “Jess!”

Going directly against my above point - Khalila doesn’t appeal to Santi, who’s just announced the decision, and to whom both Jess and Glain are deferring. She goes straight for Jess. That’s interesting. I think it might  be because she’s already tried to appeal to Santi and Wolfe; she tried to get them to stop Dario leaving or to chase after him, and they didn’t. So she thinks it’s Dario-and-Santi’s plan, and so she looks to the person who she knows breaks rules and devises plans all the time instead. But he doesn’t help her either.

Jess points out that Dario didn’t say where he was going. He refused to, in fact. Bearing in mind what’s coming up in the Iron Tower, it’s a nice little question mark. Is that because he didn’t want them to waste time chasing after him, or risk capture by the embassy security ... or was it because he didn’t want them to find him? Mwahahaha. Very nice.

Then Jess makes the mistake of physically restraining Khalila from running, and, oh dear Jess, why are you so constantly surprised by any time Khalila shows she’s stronger than you think?

And here we get Khalila just POURING out Dario’s inner demons here lol. The two of them must have talked about this a lot, which makes it all the more fascinating at the times elsewhere when Khalila compares them directly.

“He’s not like you! He wants to show you that he can be just as clever, just as fast, just as ...” She hit him again, this time a knee square to his family jewels, and he did let go. “Just as ruthless! And if you ever lay hands on me again, I will kill you, Jess Brightwell!”

Ok, so what’s interesting here, distracting me from talking about Jess/Khalila/Dario viibes AGAIN (the first 3 books all have hints that make me convinced that at some point in the history of her planning this was intended as a love triangle) is that Khalila is letting herself be held, here. I doubt she truly believed she would be able to get away. Outrun Jess? No.

She’s not even fighting to make him let go. Jess thinks she is, look:

He wrapped her in his arms and she fought surprisingly hard, with sharp precise blows that almost made him let go. Almost.

He looks at Glain for help and she just folds her arms. Why? She doesn’t want Khalila to put herself in danger either. If there was any real danger of Khalila breaking free, Glain would help, yes, but why is Glain just watching this too?

When Khalila WANTS to be freed, as we’ve just seen, she just knees him in the balls. And on the word “ruthless”, at that. And then she threatens to kill him if he does it again.

She doesn’t attack Wolfe, and she doesn’t attack Santi. So what’s going on here? This is essentially Khalila losing her temper. No-one will help her save Dario, which she takes as a moral failing, and then Jess tries to physically stop her. Jess, who is a postulant not a teacher so less intimidating, Jess who she surely knows has a soft spot for her a mile wide and yet still won’t help her, Jess, the very reason that Dario ran off like that. So she hits him and she shouts that it’s all HIS fault, and then once she’s finished with that she shrugs him off with one well-placed knee. And a death threat.

She doesn’t lose her temper much, but oh when she does it explodes!

And the Glain thing? GLAIN AGREES. Poor, poor Jess. he’s not superhuman and it’s not actually his fault that Dario imprinted on him as a role model in Ink and Bone. But his friends think he can make a difference, or at least that he should try.

And here we see Khalila’s rage, verbalised at last:

“Her face was set and terrible, her eyes like dark pits, and she met no-one else’s gaze as she nodded. “Then let us run,” she said, in a voice drained of anything but anger. “Run and hide, like frightened rabbits.”

Jess is already wondering whether Dario just ran off to save his own skin. Whether he’s actually selling them out to the Library. Nice seeds laid for the betrayal later.

Ah, forgive me an off-topic moment:

Morgan walked next to Wolfe, like a favoured student or a fond daughter.

I live for Dad Wolfe& daughter Morgan vibes okay????

Obviously there is no Dario for the rest of this chapter lol, while they fight their way into the Basilica to try and Translate away to London.

Worldbuilding note: Jess notices that the Translation Chamber and the torture room in the prison underneath are the same shape.

Second worldbuilding note: Jess and Glain Translated into Rome from a Serapeum in Darnah. In our world, that’s in Libya. We see Libya mentioned once more in the series, in Sword and Pen, so I think we can assume Libya is allied to Alexandria.

And oh! The heartbreaking moment when Morgan realises Keria has utterly outplayed her, and that the only place they have left to go is the Iron Tower.

Okay, those sure are some words! Maybe I’ll get to the end of this book eventually??
